Small Door, Big Door Talisman

Erlang Palace.

Palaces and temples.

An old Taoist priest who was meditating opened his eyes. In front of him was the statue of his ancestor, Wu Erlang.

This statue of Wu Erlang is not gilded, has a solemn face, and is surrounded by many sacrificial objects.

There are lion-biting swords that ward off all evil, stone guardians that radiate righteousness, and peach wood magic swords with spiritual light swirling around their blades, and so on.

They are all talismans!

Erlang Palace's greatest asset.

The old Taoist priest unfolded the two letters and sighed.

"Order the Erlang Palace to seal off its disciples. They may ride flying cranes to Jinyuan County to slay demons and monsters."

The old Taoist priest dispatched a messenger, then turned to look at the statue of his patriarch, muttering to himself:

"There is no such logic in the world. There are evil forces occupying the county town. Killing them will only bring about the destruction of our lineage."

"Huang Ting's divination techniques are extremely accurate; you can't ignore them."

The old Taoist priest lowered his eyelids.

At that time, Huang Ting said that the Red Lantern Ghost should not be touched lightly, and naturally some people did not believe him.

In a branch of the Erlang Palace, a high-ranking cultivator who practiced the method of breaking the stagnation refused to believe in evil. He summoned a peach wood magic sword in the mountains, intending to kill the Red Lantern Ghost with a single sword strike from a thousand miles away.

Unexpectedly, after drawing his sword, he was immediately struck by a torrent of lightning.

If it weren't for the protective mountain formation, this high-ranking cultivator would have already perished.

According to Huang Ting, this Red Lantern Ghost can only be dealt with by a specialized person.

The old Taoist priest could see clearly that the "specialized person" Huang Ting mentioned was probably her newly accepted young apprentice.

It was marked with the Red Lantern Ghost symbol, so bright it was almost blinding.

Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest felt a strong urge to do something. With a wave of his hand, he summoned clouds and mist, which formed a disc shape and reflected Pei Si's courtyard.

"The mark has been suppressed? This little guy is lucky to have gotten such a rare thing."

Seeing Pei Si slip into the jade burial suit, the old Taoist priest chuckled to himself.

"Have you seen enough?" A clear, cold female voice rang out from afar.

"Huang Ting, you're really taking this disciple way too seriously. Not only did you give him the sword and talisman, but you're also keeping a close eye on him every single day!"

"No rainbow without rain," the old Taoist smacked his lips and laughed.

"Get out." Huang Ting coldly uttered a single word.

The old Taoist priest chuckled awkwardly. This was just the personality of the head nun of the Celestial Master Cave; he was already used to it.

The old Taoist priest said solemnly, "Who will your Celestial Master Cave send this time?"

Huang Ting: "The lineage of 'Watching Fish' has one person, and my lineage has one person."

"Should we send Xuanjian again?"

Huang Ting remained silent.

The next second, the cloud-like disc in front of the old Taoist priest suddenly shattered.

"Look at this temper," the old Taoist priest muttered, tucking his hands into his sleeves and shrinking his neck.

…………

Pei Si woke up.

That son of a bitch is up to his old tricks again. Instead of attacking Qingcheng County, he's attacking Jinyuan County.

The disciples of the Guanyu lineage went ahead to meet Pei Si.

Pei Si recalled what his master had said.

Do not go to the rescue in person; use the methods he has to participate.

Pei Si understood immediately and had an idea.

…………

Pei Family Courtyard, Qingcheng County.

Pei Si smiled, got up and stretched a bit, then took out a talisman from his sleeve and waited quietly for the right moment.

Fifteen minutes later.

Outside Jinyuan County.

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in the field, gazing at the red light at the end of his vision, his lips twitching slightly.

"My master has really assigned me a good task."

"Is my mission complete simply by using this talisman?"

"Strange thing."

The man held a talisman in his hand, and upon closer inspection, it was very similar to the talisman in Pei Si's hand, with only minor differences.

The man infused the talisman with magical power.

The talisman first ignited sparks, then burst into flames!

A large gate suddenly appeared in the field.

One foot stepped over the threshold.

The man stared intently at the person who emerged from the door. The person had a handsome face, wore a Taoist robe, had a knife at his waist, and a sword on his back.

"This humble Taoist master, who slays the dragon, greets you, Venerable Master Huangting."

The man straightened his Taoist robe and bowed, saying, "This humble Taoist priest, Yu Chengqi, is a disciple of the Venerable Miaoyin, and greets Fellow Taoist Xuanjian."

Pei Si said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble Senior Brother Chengqi to come here ahead of time and use the small gate and main gate talisman to guide me here."

Small door, big door charm.

The talisman crafted by Senior Sister Mingyue.

One person holds a small door charm, and the other holds a large door charm.

Once one person arrives at the location, they can use a talisman to guide another person holding the talisman over.

Chengqi clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, to be honest, my master's task for me is to perform the Minor Gate Major Gate Talisman here. As for the rest, it's up to you, Fellow Daoist Xuanjian."

Having said that, Chengqi tucked his hands into his sleeves, clearly wanting to see what Pei Si would do.

"Fine, let him see what it's like."

Pei Si made a hand seal and his mind stirred.

One hundred paper figures of swordsmen, three hundred paper figures of knife-wielders, and two hundred paper figures of warriors appeared out of thin air in the same spot.

These five hundred paper figures truly surprised Chengqi. They looked no different from real people, and he looked curious. But how strong was this paper figure army?

Pei Si recited the incantation, activating the paper doll army.

There are also many demons in these places outside Jinyuan County.

Last time, the cleaning was done from the inside out; this time, it's the other way around, from the outside in.

Today, we will make the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist tradition famous in the hearts of the people of Jinyuan County!

The paper doll army is mobilized.

…………

The outskirts of Jintan Village.

A man and a woman stopped.

Both of them had artificial eyes painted with cinnabar between their eyebrows.

Erlang Palace Taoist.

"Senior brother, there are two demons in this village. Should we use something to ward them off?"

Zhu Yan asked.

Li Ping'an shook his head and said, "Just send officers and soldiers to kill him; there's no need for any talisman."

Zhu Yan gave an "oh," made a hand seal, and dispatched officers and soldiers, who quickly killed the two demons.

The surviving villagers rushed out and thanked the two men.

"Gentlemen, where are you from? Were you invited by the government?" A weak voice came from the crowd.

The crowd parted to the sides, and an old man with a hunched back, leaning on a cane, walked over.

The former village chief of Jinyuan Village was highly respected.

"Mount Qingcheng," Zhu Yan said softly.

"What's the situation in the county town, you two immortal masters? Have the officials already sent troops to exterminate the demons?" The old village chief's eyes were cloudy, but there was hope on his face.

Zhu Yan bit her lip, unsure how to answer, and turned to look at her senior brother.

Li Ping'an remained calm and spoke in a cold voice:

"The government? The county town has been taken over by the Red Lantern Ghosts. The whole town is covered with red lanterns. We are here on our master's orders to cleanse the county town of demons."

"After we leave, hide carefully so that the demons don't find us," Zhu Yan added.

This was the third village the two had visited, and they had finally seen living people.

"Alright, everyone go into the cellar, prepare food and water, and hide them well," the old village chief said weakly.

"Wow, there are quite a few people here."

in the dark.

Two red lights suddenly lit up.

Li Ping'an's expression remained unchanged. He flipped his wrist, and a nine-linked ring appeared in his hand.

A talisman!
