Chapter 209: Wufulinmen at the Door

Noon.

The ghost village graveyard.

Standing before the five graves of Qin Fuer and the others, there was one person each.

They were Wu Xian, Shi Ji, Sun Qian, Liao Yifang, and Lou Yaozong.

The scorching sun was blinding, a hot wind buffeted them, noisy insect chirps drifted from the weeds, and the sunlight baked their faces until they felt burning hot.

Only Wu Xian's situation was slightly better.

Because his face was relatively thick-skinned, providing insulation.

These five doors had blocked Wu Xian twice already; they could only be opened by five people simultaneously, and since the natives couldn't see them, Wu Xian had no choice but to share a portion of the benefits with other participants.

When choosing people.

Wu Xian passed on Han Ke first.

This person's temperament gave Wu Xian a very strange feeling; earlier, when Han Ke saw the corpse that had been subjected to death by a thousand cuts, he stayed in place for a long time without moving, and others might have thought Han Ke was frightened.

But Wu Xian felt that those slightly trembling shoulders...

Looked like they were excited!

So Wu Xian found Liao Yifang, with whom he had cooperated once, and Lou Yaozong, who, despite being a greasy middle-aged man, had always performed very reliably.

As for Zhang Wei...

He was indeed more suitable than Lou Yaozong, but Wu Xian had forgotten about him at the time.

Of course.

Wu Xian wasn't that selfless.

He collected a fee of fifteen centimeters of remnant incense from both Lou Yaozong and Liao Yifang before agreeing to bring them along.

After the five were ready, they simultaneously gripped the door handles and pulled upward.

Click!

The moment the doors opened.

Everyone saw auspicious clouds drifting out, celestial music playing in unison, and after a burst of dazzling light, five rays of brilliance drilled into their bodies.

And inside the box under the door, there were five plain and unremarkable silver-inlaid divine statues...

The Five Heavenly Officials of Fortune, Longevity, Rank, Joy, and Wealth!

Wu Xian recalled the scene he had seen in the ghost village earlier.

No wonder those five villagers had such strange expressions when other villagers were boasting about the Yama Kings of the eighteen hells.

It turned out they were secretly worshipping the Five Heavenly Officials in their own homes, which was why their lives were significantly better than the other villagers.

The statue in front of Wu Xian was a "Heavenly Official - God of Fortune and Business," but he didn't rush to worship the god; instead, he first opened his Daoist credential.

He wanted to see what that light just now was.

After flipping through it for a while, Wu Xian found the explanation for that ray of brilliance on the blessing page.

Temporary Blessing: Wufulinmen at the Door.

The five people who received the blessing can stand in a pentagonal formation to bestow a blessing upon an object in the center; the temporary blessing can only take effect once.

If the object of the blessing is an item, it makes the item sentient!

If the object of the blessing is a person, they receive the protection of the Heavenly Officials!

If the object of the blessing is a malevolent entity, it can eliminate the baleful aura and purify the evil spirit.

The four people besides Sun Qian looked at each other, all realizing the power of this blessing; with this blessing, they were equivalent to having an extra ultimate move to deal with Great Ghosts.

As for using this "Wufulinmen at the Door" to bless people or objects...

That was impossible!

Unless the one being blessed was themselves, why would they use this hard-won ability to make wedding clothes for others?

Shi Ji patted Sun Qian on the shoulder.

"You kid really have good luck..."

With this blessing, the five of them were equivalent to natural allies; before the ultimate blessing move was released, they would help each other and try their best not to let anyone die.

Sun Qian, who didn't have a Daoist credential, was still very confused: "Ah?"

So Wu Xian pulled Sun Qian over and explained the ability of this blessing to him, while the other three began to worship the gods.

Lou Yaozong worshipped the God of Wealth; after getting the underworld money, he cupped his hands to everyone and returned to the hotel lobby, where there was a statue of the Many-Jeweled Tathagata in the first-floor restroom.

Liao Yifang worshipped the Kui Star Official of Rank; she left after getting a Dharma register without any intention of telling Wu Xian and the others, and Wu Xian didn't pursue the question.

After Wu Xian finished explaining.

Only the three of them were left in the grave mound.

Shi Ji walked over with a smug look; he worshipped the God of Joyful Marriage and obtained a spell register.

Seeing his expression waiting for others to ask questions, Wu Xian knew he had obtained something good, but Wu Xian didn't ask; after a short while, Shi Ji couldn't help but show off to Wu Xian.

"Words become law, it's words become law!"

This spell register had three uses; after use, the next sentence Shi Ji said would become reality.

But this ability had many restrictions in every aspect, and the Daoist credential used a whole page to explain it.

In short, it was to try to avoid saying things that exceeded the power of the spell register; for example, the sentence "let the world be destroyed" could not be achieved by the power of the spell register, so this sentence would be invalid and would waste one opportunity, so the simpler the words said, the better.

All three had finished worshipping the gods.

Next, only Wu Xian and Sun Qian were left.

But what was more awkward was.

Sun Qian only had twenty-five centimeters of remnant incense in his hand, which was not enough for one god-worshipping session.

But Wu Xian had plenty of remnant incense in his hand.

Killing the ball-bouncing ghost plus collecting the corpse added up to thirty centimeters, pulling incense from Shi Ji's grave mound gave him sixty centimeters, killing the possessing ghost last night got him twenty-five centimeters, and he had just collected thirty centimeters as a fee from Lou and Liao.

And he had only worshipped the gods once so far, so he had a full one hundred and fifteen centimeters of remnant incense, but he didn't have that many statues to worship!

Therefore, the two discussed it.

Wu Xian used twenty-five centimeters of remnant incense to exchange for the qualification to worship the gods with Sun Qian, so Wu Xian could worship the gods twice, and the remnant incense in Sun Qian's hand also increased.

Wu Xian carefully hugged the two statues out.

He inserted the remnant incense and bowed down respectfully.

In fact, Wu Xian's attitude toward the statues had always been changing.

In the Ghost Shadow Hostel, his actions were very casual, showing no respect at all; now, every time Wu Xian worshipped the gods, he bent his waist sincerely.

This was not because he was subdued by the power of the gods.

But because Wu Xian, through his personal experience.

Realized that although those statues looked terrifying and ferocious, they had always been trying to save something, so he was willing to express his respect slightly.

Accompanied by white clouds like cotton candy, three talismans and three spell registers appeared before Wu Xian.

First were the three talismans, which were: the "Evil" character, the "Light" character, and the "Lightness" character.

These character registers could all bless an item.

And the items Wu Xian could use to bless now, the best was the Ghost-Head Blade, and the rest included the firearms and daggers he carried on his person.

The effect of the "Evil" character was to provide a blessing to an item, increasing the baleful aura on it.

But Wu Xian felt that the baleful aura on the Ghost-Head Blade was already enough; if there were any more, that blade might rebel, and the ghost head on the hilt might bite people on its own.

Moreover, the Evil-Gathering Mirror was continuously absorbing baleful aura; now the baleful aura on the Ghost-Head Blade could still be kept by the scabbard, but if more overflowed from the scabbard, it would be sucked away by the Evil-Gathering Mirror while he was sleeping.

This would both reduce the power of the Ghost-Head Blade and make the effective time of the Evil-Gathering Mirror shorter, which was simply not worth the loss.

The effect of the "Light" character was very fun.

The blessed item would continuously emit light and carry energy similar to sunlight, dissolving evil and resolving baleful aura, which could cause damage to malevolent entities; putting this thing on the Ghost-Head Blade was a purely negative effect.

But if it were put on the blade of a dagger, the light could usually be sealed by the scabbard, and when needed, it would be a flashlight, which was simply too easy to use.

But although the "Light" character was good, Wu Xian still chose the last "Lightness" character.
