The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

Chapter 20 The Soul of Calamity

"Indeed, it is the most powerful, strongest, and most evil branch of the Nine Chrysanthemums faction!"

Uncle Nine spoke slowly, his expression grave.

"The Eastern Esoteric School, the Nine Chrysanthemum School?"

Zhao Yi was taken aback when he heard what Uncle Jiu said.

He had heard of this sect before.

I've heard of this both in my past life and in Uncle Nine's movies.

Zhao Yi only learned about the name "Nine Chrysanthemums Faction" when he watched Uncle Nine's Exorcist Police.

In that movie, the Nine Chrysanthemums faction used corpses to smuggle drugs.

Finally, he had a great battle with Uncle Nine, which Zhao Yi found very exciting.

I then searched online and discovered that this sect actually exists in reality.

It can even be traced back to the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

The Japanese envoy Abe no Nakamaro led a group of people with royal backgrounds to Tang China to study. On the surface, they learned about agriculture, industry, commerce, and arts, as well as etiquette and music, but in reality, they secretly sought out Taoist secrets, especially the Maoshan sect.

After his arduous training, Abe no Nakamaro established his own school, eventually becoming the "Kyukiku School".

However, unlike the Maoshan lineage which upholds the principle of "opposition between good and evil, and lifelong struggle," the Jiuju sect specializes in yin and evil arts.

They use human bodies to ward off evil spirits, nurture malevolent forces, exorcise spirits, and even use human bodies as furnaces to refine and nurture evil spirits.

The "chrysanthemum" in Jiuju comes from the fact that almost everyone in the sect is skilled at grinding nine kinds of poisonous creatures, such as scorpions and centipedes, into fertilizer to water chrysanthemums.

This allows it to bloom even in the dead of winter, and it is also extremely poisonous.

Why use chrysanthemums in particular?

Because this is the royal emblem of the royal family!

"It's actually a private matter!" Zhao Yi's face immediately showed a hint of hatred.

The fact that the ghost child had slashed him with a knife had already made Zhao Yi seethe with hatred.

Now we hear that behind this ghost child lies the methods of the Nine Chrysanthemums faction.

This truly is a case of old grudges and new hatreds, family feuds and national grievances all crammed together.

"Ah Yi, the ghost child that attacked you should be using a vicious and evil technique called 'Calamity Soul,' which is listed as a forbidden technique in the Eastern Esoteric School!" Uncle Nine continued.

"A cursed spirit? What kind of evil magic is this?" Zhao Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is a technique of sacrificing living people to create magical artifacts, far more evil than the paper puppet you obtained."

Uncle Nine's tone was also serious, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"More evil than paper puppets?"

Zhao Yi was also stunned when he heard what Uncle Jiu said.

Zhao Yi knew about the making of paper puppets; it was so evil it was outrageous and chilling.

But now Uncle Nine is saying that this calamity spirit is even more evil than the paper puppet.

Even among the vicious and cruel esoteric sects of the East, it is considered a forbidden technique.

"good!"

Uncle Nine nodded and said quite seriously, "This calamity-inducing soul needs to be refined with the resentment of a child to create a soul core, using a child with a yin-yang body as a vessel to refine it into a blood sacrifice puppet."

"Using the resentment of children as the soul core, and children with yin and yang bodies as the vessel? Master, that sounds terrifying, but it doesn't seem as evil as paper puppets, does it?"

Zhao Yi was somewhat puzzled.

"Ah Yi, the soul core required for this calamity soul requires the tragic deaths of eighty-one children, who must have been tortured beyond recognition before they were born, in order for them to harbor such overwhelming resentment."

"And the Yin-Yang Body is even more cruel. It uses secret techniques on pregnant women to allow two vengeful infants, a male and a female, to be born into a male-female demon."

"But pregnant women are already weak, and the fetus in their womb is even weaker."

"Ordinary pregnant women and fetuses simply cannot withstand the invasion of a vengeful infant."

"Therefore, the number of pregnant women who die or are injured in the process of cultivating a suitable Yin-Yang body is probably countless."

Uncle Nine stood up abruptly as he finished speaking.

"Let's go, Yi, let's go to town and take care of that Wu the comprador!"

This matter was beyond Uncle Nine's expectations.

I originally thought Wu the comprador was just a person with bad intentions.

People like this were the most numerous in this chaotic era of warlordism.

Uncle Nine was just a Taoist priest from Maoshan, not a savior. He knew very well that he couldn't save everyone.

Therefore, Uncle Nine has always been the one to eliminate any such creature he encounters.

That was all he could do.

"good!"

Zhao Yi also stood up, a colder look flashing in his eyes.

The fact that Wu, the comprador, dared to attack him already meant he was courting death.

Not to mention, the other party is Xiao Rizi's lackey.

"Wencai, you watch over the mortuary."

After finishing his sentence, Uncle Jiu quickly entered a small room inside the ancestral hall.

This is the mortuary's sealed ghost storehouse, which contains many wine jars.

Many of these ghosts harbored resentment or died unjustly, but they did not harm any people.

Uncle Nine then sealed it in a wine jar and slowly offered it as a sacrifice, waiting for the opportunity to be reincarnated.

As for the evil spirits and vengeful ghosts that usually harm people, they were directly eliminated by Uncle Nine.

Uncle Nine entered the Ghost Sealing Warehouse and headed straight for the innermost altar.

On this altar, there is also a statue of Laozi (Taishang Laojun).

"Imperial Edict!"

Uncle Nine picked up a talisman from the altar, pointed it with his sword, and ignited it.

The next moment, the seven lotus lanterns in front of the altar were instantly lit.

Uncle Nine bowed and offered incense to the statue, then took a whisk from its hand.

Then, on the altar, he picked up a copper coin sword and a black and red peach wood sword that was more than two feet long.

"Ayi, let's go!"

Uncle Nine came out of the Ghost Sealing Warehouse, casually picked up a canvas satchel hanging on the wall and hung it up, then solemnly said to Zhao Yi.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhao Yi glanced at Uncle Nine and realized that he had just gone to prepare magical artifacts.

Zhao Yi recognized the whisk; it was probably the one that appeared in the manga/anime series "Mr. Spiritual Illusion."

The copper coin sword is a veteran weapon, appearing in most of Uncle Nine's movies.

"Master, let's ride in my rickshaw, it's fast!"

After arriving at the gate of the mortuary, Zhao Yi pointed to the rickshaw and said.

Although the rickshaw was of ordinary design, the seat was very spacious, no smaller than a two-seater, and could comfortably seat two people.

"good!"

Uncle Nine nodded.

With a divine weapon pulling the chariot, even two people wouldn't be slower than a horse-drawn carriage.

"Ah Da, let's go!"

After the two were seated, Zhao Yi immediately gave the order, and the rickshaw quickly started moving.

"This is indeed very convenient!" Uncle Nine also praised the rickshaw.

Although there was one more person on the way back, Ah Da's speed was not much slower.

Ten minutes later, Ah Da pulled the cart and arrived outside Wu's shop.

"Master, that bastard has already closed up shop, what should we do?" Zhao Yi asked.

"Don't worry, I have a plan!"

Uncle Nine, however, remained calm and took out three incense sticks from his canvas satchel.

"Master, what are you doing?" Zhao Yi asked, puzzled.

There's no place here where incense is needed, so what would Uncle Nine do with incense?

"The Method of Tracking Through Spiritual mediums!"

As he spoke, Uncle Nine took out a small wine glass and a dark red thin rope from his canvas satchel.

Before Zhao Yi could speak, Uncle Nine immediately whispered, "Tear off your clothes!"
