156. Chapter 156: The Weird First Day

Li Yi felt that he lived a very fulfilling life. At night, he could practice evolution, and during the day, he could practice marrow refining and blood refining, and temper his martial path.

Coupled with the Bone-White Contemplation cultivation technique and the nourishment of various great medicines, his growth could be said to be rapid. If he could continue for a period of time, he even felt that he could touch the threshold of inspiration, and his martial arts cultivation might really reach the level of Meridian Cultivation.

If martial arts cultivation of Meridian Cultivation is combined with the realm of inspiration, how terrifying would the two be when added together?

Just thinking about it made Li Yi feel excited.

"By the way, Senior Brother, before nightfall today, we must close the doors and windows well and stay in the room and not go out again. Today is the first day of the month, and the night is the day when ghosts and gods go out. This day is very taboo, and everyone in the four seas and eight continents will respect this important day unanimously."

Rong Niang chatted with Li Yi while practicing, which made the practice seem not so boring.

"I know, I mentioned this matter yesterday. By the way, where did Zhao Qian go? I didn't see her before." Li Yi asked.

Rong Niang said: "Junior Sister went to the Chenghuangmiao in Sanyang City early in the morning to find a god-mother to buy door gods. Door gods posted at the door can avoid the intrusion of ghosts and gods and can protect peace. However, door gods only have the effect of one night, and they will be useless after tonight."

"What will happen if you don't buy door gods?" Li Yi continued to ask.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't buy door gods. However, the god-mother said that if you don't post door gods on the first day of the month, once ghosts and gods pass by, they may take the living people in the house to the underworld. So rich families will buy a few door gods and post them at the door to protect peace." Rong Niang said: "However, since I was young, I have never heard of anyone being taken into the underworld by ghosts and gods because they didn't post door gods. It is estimated that the god-mother in front of the Chenghuangmiao made up such a lie in order to sell door gods."

"However, most people who have the conditions will still go to buy them, hoping for peace."

"So that's it." Li Yi didn't expect that there was such a folk custom here, which sounded quite unique.

After a while, Zhao Qian came back.

Her face was puffed up with anger, and she seemed very angry. When she saw Li Yi, she immediately poured out her bitterness: "It's really hateful. That god-mother said she had something to do this month and wouldn't sell door gods. I lined up early in the morning and wanted to post a few more door gods for Brother Yi's house, but the result was that there were no door gods. That old woman shouldn't sell them, so she should have said so earlier."

"Not selling door gods anymore? How could this be? This matter is rarely encountered." Rong Niang was very surprised.

"I don't know either. I have only encountered a few times when door gods were not sold since I was young. I didn't expect to hit it this month, so unlucky." Zhao Qian said.

Rong Niang said: "Since they are not sold, forget it. It's not like you can't live without door gods. Close the doors and windows everywhere tonight, go back to the room early, and nothing will happen."

"Then I'll go close the doors and windows now." Zhao Qian ran away again after remembering.

In a large mansion, without servants, it would take a lot of time to close the doors and windows one by one.

Li Yi was taboo-free. He continued to practice and practiced the Marrow Washing Sutra.

A day passed quickly.

Before sunset, Rong Niang urged Li Yi not to stay on the martial arts field, but to return to the room, and not to go out at night no matter what happened.

There was no way, Li Yi could only end the day's practice early.

However, when he stood up and looked into the distance, his expression suddenly condensed.

In his vision, the entire sky in the distance was gradually filled with a dark aura. This dark aura emerged from the ground and filled the world. And with the appearance of this dark aura, he actually saw weird figures moving in the dark corners of the wall.

That was the martial artist who died in the Han Zhao Wuguan before.

Influenced by that black ground aura, he actually turned into a ghost.

But these black ground auras dissipated a lot after being shone by the sun, but the sun was setting, and the power of the sun was constantly decreasing. The black aura filling the sky would only increase with time, and in the end, it would definitely cover the entire world.

And the celestial phenomenon on the first day of the month today was also very abnormal. Two pale red moons, one on the left and one on the right, had already appeared in the sky.

These two pale red moons were rounder and larger than usual, a bit like the moon on the fifteenth day on Earth, and were at their brightest.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what are you looking at?" Rong Niang shook Li Yi's arm at this moment and asked curiously.

"The first day of every month in the four seas and eight continents is indeed unusual."

Li Yi's eyes were shining: "You martial artists don't have a pair of spiritual eyes, can't see ghosts, and can't see the changes in heaven and earth. But I can see all this. The black ground aura rises, and the two moons blocking the sun increase the breeding of Yin aura. At this moment, there is still sunlight, but it is not enough to wear away these auras. Once it gets dark, it is hard to imagine what will happen at night."

"Is it that terrifying?" Rong Niang was startled.

"It's even more terrifying than I imagined." Li Yi said.

Rong Niang nodded slightly. She was very curious about what kind of secrets the Senior Brother's divine eyes had peeped into between heaven and earth.

"Go, go back to the room, call Zhao Qian over too. I feel that tonight is very unusual. You two stay with me, don't leave, and prepare the things that should be prepared at the same time. I will block the doors and windows to prevent all dangers from approaching." After Li Yi finished speaking, he acted immediately.

He put all important things into the room, such as great medicine, sniper rifle, Soul-Returning Pill, and at the same time prepared food and water, so as not to be hungry and thirsty at night.

Rong Niang and Zhao Qian also helped together.

Soon, everything was packed, and all the doors and windows in the mansion were closed.

In fact, it was not just them; everyone in Sanyang City was like this, closing business early and staying at home.

Before the sun went down, the streets were already empty, dead silent, like a dead city.

The surroundings were unusually quiet, without any sound, and even the chirping of insects and birds seemed to have disappeared.

This made Li Yi think of the Ghost Festival on Earth before. It was like this, but later everyone didn't pay attention to the festival, plus breaking superstition, and over time, they didn't follow the rules. Now it seems that these rules passed down from ancient times are useful.

"Rong Niang, today you and Zhao Qian sleep on the bed together, I will sit here and practice."

At this moment, the three of them were in the same room, and even that Eight-Treasure Deer hid in, seeming to have smelled the unusual aura outside.

Rong Niang and Zhao Qian were somewhat restrained and nervous at this moment. It was the first time they were in the same room with a man. If this spread out, their reputation would be ruined. But they tacitly didn't say it out. Perhaps only Li Yi could make them ignore this legal constraint.

"Then, Senior Brother, Junior Sister and I will rest first."

Not knowing how to respond, in order to avoid embarrassment, Rong Niang pulled Zhao Qian and went to the inner room.

Li Yi sat on the chair at the door of the room, closed his eyes and concentrated, and continued to practice, striving to reach the marrow refining realm as soon as possible.

Time passed quickly.

After sunset, the night grew thicker, and at this moment, the black ground aura rolled, and it had already filled the entire world. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in an ominous aura.

Although in the eyes of most people, this was just an ordinary night, in Li Yi's view, today was very unusual.

His five senses were sharp, and he could even feel bursts of Yin aura coming from his skin.

In this state, Li Yi couldn't even enter meditation normally, let alone practice.

Sometimes it is not a good thing for practitioners of the Inspiration Realm to be too sharp. Li Yi was disturbed by this aura and couldn't calm down, but Rong Niang and Zhao Qian in the inner room had no movement and should have fallen asleep.

"It seems that the world of the four seas and eight continents also has an unusual side."

Li Yi sat still at this moment. His eyes were shining, and he looked down slightly. The black ground aura rose from the cracks in the bricks on the ground and had filled the entire room.

In his view, there was no difference between staying in the room and staying outside. The walls of the house could not block this kind of aura at all. If a ghost passed by, the doors and windows were just decorations. The only thing was perhaps for peace of mind.

"No wonder Sister Lin said before that after activating inspiration, you can at least look at Feng Shui for people. Now I understand. My eyes can see ghosts and gods, and can also see many invisible auras. It is indeed possible to help people look at Feng Shui and choose ancestral homes." Li Yi thought to himself.

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and checked the time.

Although he brought a power bank when he went out this time, the battery of the mobile phone was not much.

"It's only eight o'clock now, and there are at least eight or nine hours until dawn." Li Yi turned off the mobile phone and thought to himself.

He had no intention to practice and didn't know how to pass the time, so he simply closed his eyes and sat quietly.

However, Li Yi hadn't sat quietly for a moment.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and he heard a sound coming from the room... it was the snorting of a strong horse.

"When did I have a horse in my room?"

Li Yi looked in the direction of the sound, and then he was shocked.

In a dark corner of the room, there were actually three tall and strong Yin horses standing there.

And at the feet of the Yin horses, there was a sniper rifle and a modern backpack.

At this time, Li Yi remembered that these three horses were not clay horses? Two of the clay horses were bought on Ghost Street, and there was another one found in the underground secret room of the Han Zhao Wuguan.

"Even the Yin horses have manifested. Is this Yin aura filling the world so terrifying?" Li Yi's face did not change: "If you encounter ghosts, that's fine. Influenced by the aura here, wouldn't it become a terrifying fierce ghost?"

No wonder ghosts and gods sweep the world. If they don't sweep the world, the Yin and Yang of this world are unbalanced, and it must cause a great disaster.

But Li Yi always felt that things were not that simple.

In a world of martial arts, why would there be such terrifying Yin aura?

Before Li Yi could carefully analyze the situation.

Suddenly.

Li Yi glanced, and he saw a sneaky figure appearing from somewhere, actually drilling a head into a box, seeming to be looking for something.

"Ghost?"

He immediately walked over, clenched his fist, used the guidance technique, and the cosmic energy in his body gathered. In the room filled with Yin aura, his fist was shining. Although it was not very powerful against living people, it could kill ghosts.

"A little ghost dares to come to my room to steal things, looking for death."

Li Yi shouted and threw a punch.

The little ghost seemed to feel something, turned around and raised its head immediately. At this moment, a look of fear appeared on the little ghost's face. It was different from the muddled ghosts before and seemed to have some intelligence.

However, it was too late.

With one punch, the little ghost's body exploded instantly, shattering into several pieces, and then these incomplete limbs were eroded by the Yin aura and merged into it, becoming a part of the Yin aura.

But Li Yi had just killed a little ghost, and there was movement outside the door.

At the door, black human figures moved, and some strange sounds came. These sounds were like countless people whispering, which could not be heard clearly, but there was no doubt that the ghosts outside the door seemed to be communicating with each other, speaking their own unique language. ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
