Chapter 61 A Giant Earthworm
Zhao Shengan was confused, only feeling that his head was a little heavy and that Peach Blossom Sister in his vision was becoming increasingly blurry.
The village chief and others who were standing in the original position rushed over when they heard the commotion, and saw Zhao Shengan fall to the ground with a thud.
When everyone saw Zhao Shengan's expression, they were all shocked and their eyes widened.
Aunt Zheng and her husband rushed over: "Sheng'an, what happened to you? Don't scare your parents!"
This year has been incredibly unlucky for Sheng'an; this is the second time he's fainted.
“Aunt Zheng, Uncle Guangkun, don’t touch Brother Sheng’an, he’s been tainted by evil spirits.”
As soon as Zhao Taohua finished speaking, Zheng Shi and Zhao Guangkun quickly withdrew their outstretched hands.
Aunt Zheng asked worriedly, "Has Sheng'an encountered any evil spirits?"
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked around, and suddenly saw a black hole on the ground.
"When I fell in, Brother Shenming pulled me up, Brother Sheng'an lent a hand, so the evil energy of the evil spirit invaded Brother Sheng'an's body."
I am protected by spiritual energy, so this evil energy cannot harm me at all.
Brother Shen Ming possesses both malevolent energy and merit, therefore, this evil energy cannot harm him.
Zhao Taohua explained.
Zheng sighed helplessly, so only Sheng'an was harmed.
"Peach Blossom, please, Auntie, help Sheng'an get rid of the evil spirits. Auntie will give you money."
As she spoke, Zheng took money out of her purse.
Zhao Taohua shook her head: "Brother Sheng'an became like this to save me, so I have an obligation to remove the evil energy from his body."
Zhao Taohua first chanted a spell to remove all the evil energy from her body. In an instant, the Zheng couple saw a wisp of black smoke fly out of Zhao Taohua's body.
She gave it a gentle shake, and all the black smoke disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Taohua gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips and used it to draw a talisman on Zhao Shengan's left and right cheeks respectively.
As she chanted the incantation, two spiritual energy talismans directly seeped into Zhao Shengan's body, forcing out all the evil energy.
Just like Zhao Taohua just now, a lot of black smoke flew out of her body.
Madam Zheng exclaimed with delight, "Peach Blossom, won't this make things better for my Sheng'an?"
"Aunt Zheng, Brother Sheng'an will wake up soon."
As she spoke, Zhao Taohua took out a peace charm and placed it in Zhao Shengan's arms.
“Oh my, this amulet could sell for a hundred coins, I can’t just take it for free.”
Seeing that Aunt Zheng was about to take out money again, Zhao Taohua quickly said, "Aunt Zheng, this peace charm is a gift I gave to Brother Sheng'an. If you give me money, I will absolutely not accept it."
Just as Zhao Taohua was speaking, Zhao Shengan woke up. In his drowsy state, he overheard Zhao Taohua's words and felt a surge of joy.
"Aunt Zheng, you and Uncle Guangkun, please take Brother Sheng'an out of the bamboo forest quickly."
After Zhao Taohua finished speaking, she called out to the village chief, asking him to lead everyone to evacuate from the bamboo forest.
This is the lair of evil spirits. Beneath each small mound lies a dangerous cave, not only deep but also filled with viscous fluid that is teeming with malevolent energy.
If an ordinary person touches it, it could be fatal!
Led by the village chief, the villagers left the bamboo forest one after another.
Some people worried, "This evil spirit seems stronger than the Menstrual Spirit Four Monsters that Peach Blossom caught before. Can Peach Blossom handle it?"
"Yes, if we can't get the Great Liang back this time, what if we go to buy it again, and it gets stolen by this evil spirit again?"
Another person chimed in.
Everyone looked worried. The house was only half-built, missing the roof. It was almost finished, but without the main beam, the roof tiles couldn't be laid.
Grandma Sun glanced at the two people who were speaking and said, "Peach Blossom will definitely be able to destroy this wretched evil spirit. Don't worry about it. She's my own granddaughter, I trust her!"
Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Sanshi, who were standing to the side, felt that it might not work. Just as they were about to open their mouths, they were silenced by a look from Grandma Sun.
Zhao Lianhua glanced at the people in the Zhao family's old house and said, "Sister Peach Blossom can definitely do it. There isn't a single evil spirit in our village that hasn't been subdued by Sister Peach Blossom."
"Hmph!" Zhao Shenglin snorted coldly. "That's not necessarily true. She herself said that this evil spirit is more powerful than before. Maybe this time, we won't be able to build any roofs."
Previously, Peach Blossom Sister said there would be a heavy snowfall this year, and you all bought blue bricks and tiles to build new houses, but now you have no roofs.
When it snows, your roofless brick houses won't be as warm as my old thatched hut!
After Zhao Shenglin finished speaking, he chuckled mischievously.
Upon hearing this, everyone's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Inside the bamboo forest, Zhao Taohua looked at Shen Ming with a puzzled expression: "Brother Shen Ming, why didn't you leave? This evil spirit is not only powerful, but its slime also contains a lot of evil energy."
"Didn't you say that I have both evil energy and merit that can be neutralized, and that its evil energy can't harm me?"
Since it can't hurt me, I won't be in any trouble staying."
Shen Ming said calmly.
Zhao Taohua thought of how the troublemakers had died as if they had seen a ghost when they saw him before, and wondered if this evil spirit would be afraid of him this time?
However, despite Shen Ming's overwhelming ferocity and abundant merit, he was not a member of the Xuanmen sect and did not understand Taoist magic. Zhao Taohua still dared not gamble with his life.
"Brother Shenming, you stay here and don't move. I'll go to the front and force it out."
Just as Zhao Taohua was about to set off, Shen Ming behind her asked:
"What kind of spirit or monster is it this time?"
"Earthworm Monster".
After leaving those three words, Zhao Taohua went straight forward.
She randomly selected five caves, then used her spiritual energy to set up an array at the cave entrances and placed a talisman on top of it.
Standing in the center of the five caves, he declared, "Five Elements Blazing Fire, destroy everything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the talismans at the five openings burst into flames, shooting downwards like a raging fire.
Even when Shen Ming was standing twenty meters away from Zhao Taohua, he could still feel the intense heat beneath his feet.
The moment the flames plunged into the cave, a hissing sound came from inside, and a thick plume of smoke billowed out of the cave entrance.
Zhao Taohua looked nervously toward the five cave entrances. Just as she was tense, a tremor ran through the ground.
Even the village chief and others standing outside the bamboo forest felt the earthquake.
Some of the older great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers almost lost their balance.
The village chief hurriedly said, "Everyone, quickly step back and go to a safe place."
"Look, what is that?"
Just then, a thick and long object flew out of the bamboo forest in the distance. It soared into the sky and then fell down, heading straight for Zhao Taohua.
The Qian couple were horrified; the thing looked like a giant earthworm.
Its body is enormous, with a diameter as thick as an adult's waist and a length exceeding four meters.
Their skin was sticky and slippery, which was disgusting to look at.
At the same time, he also emitted a putrid smell.
When Grandma Sun saw the thing, she immediately said to everyone, "Look, my Peach Blossom has forced this evil spirit out!"
Zheng said, "That thing looks like an earthworm?"
Zhao Shengan clutched the peace charm to his chest, his gaze fixed on Zhao Taohua in the distance, hoping that Taohua could subdue the earthworm monster.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Shenglin stared at the earthworm monster and said, "This earthworm monster is obviously extraordinary. Although it has no feet, it can fly."
I advised everyone to run far away. Peach Blossom Sister used fire to force it out, and once it's dealt with Peach Blossom Sister, it'll take its anger out on us.
After saying that, Zhao Shenglin took off running away.
Half of the others also moved further away from the bamboo grove out of fear.
This earthworm monster is truly extraordinary. After all, Zhao Taohua is only fourteen years old, and many people still feel that she might not be able to defeat it.
