"Fang Xiangshi? What a respectable god..."

Melinda said with a sigh.

Xie Zihao also continued to explain:

"The gods played by these Nuo masters are basically gods who specialize in controlling ghosts and evil objects, and can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. Although they are not real gods, they can imitate the charm of these gods with the help of their own strength and people's beliefs.

During the ceremony, if any ghosts or even ordinary demons encounter them, they will be frightened and scream, and they will retreat. Otherwise, they will be suppressed or even killed by the ghosts and gods played by these men on the spot, leaving their souls in disarray."

Melinda and Todd listened to Xie Zihao's explanation and exclaimed again and again. In the European and American cultural circles, due to the rule of monotheistic religions and purges and suppression for thousands of years, there are actually very few wonderful folk cultural activities like this in Eastern countries.

.

In addition, the Federation itself is a country with little history, so it is relatively lacking in folk culture, and some existing activities originate from other ethnic groups or countries.

They have seen religious rituals with profound historical and cultural heritage, such as Nuo opera, rarely, or never, so naturally they find it very novel and interesting.

What's more, this Nuo opera is a truly extraordinary ceremony, not a folk activity that is mainly performance-oriented!

Xie Zihao could feel some of the gloomy atmosphere contained in the Jinshan Ghost Market. After the Nuo opera started, it dissipated a lot, and the tens of thousands of spectators around were still providing support to the men playing ghosts and gods.

The power of emotions further increases the power of Nuo opera.

Powerful but invisible thoughts converged on the Nuo opera masters, transforming into illusory forms that could not be seen by mortal eyes, as if the true gods had descended.

Of course, Xie Zihao understands that these are not real gods, but a certain concept born from the accumulation of people's beliefs and emotions over thousands of years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are gods. They are just born in the beliefs of all living beings and will only follow a certain

The concept of a code of conduct to act upon.

A wonderful Nuo opera came to an end after more than half an hour. The Nuo opera team had already circled around the Jinshan Ghost Market and returned to the gate from the right side. The ceremony had reached its climax at this time.

reached the highest peak.

The mysterious aura surrounding the Nuo opera masters has become extremely strong. With the blessing of this power, after performing such an intense ceremony for more than half an hour, none of the Nuo opera masters showed signs of physical exhaustion.

However, Xie Zihao knows that these Nuo opera masters are actually supported by the will of the "gods" gathered in their bodies, which is equivalent to inviting gods to their bodies. Of course, these gods are actually just part of a certain concept that gathers the thoughts of all living beings.

Once the ceremony is over and the gods are sent away, the masters who preside over the Nuo opera will be seriously injured.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and took out several bottles of elixirs.

As a monk, how could he not be able to refine elixirs?

In the past two years, Xie Zihao has also come up with many elixirs in addition to fragrant prescriptions, most of which are practice works. After all, the Xie family does not have a real inheritance of elixirs.

However, as one's cultivation level has improved and various spiritual materials have become abundant, some of the works produced by practitioners can also be called spiritual elixirs.

Especially the three-yuan golden lock pill passed down from the family.

Originally this medicine was just a prescription for replenishing congenital deficiencies. Its origin is that an ancestor of the Xie family who studied medicine in the middle of the Later Jin Dynasty, in order to cure his son's congenital frailty, based on the ancient fairy prescription Sanyuan Gupo Dan, combined with "

The Jinsuo Zhengyuan Dan contained in "Taiping Huimin Hejiju Prescription" was simplified and modified.

It's just that the original version of the Three-Yuan Golden Lock Pill cannot be called a panacea, but after many tests by Xie Zihao, this pill has become a real panacea. It is not only for ordinary people, but also has powerful replenishing vitality for extraordinary people.

, it has the effect of strengthening the body, can make up for the innate deficiency of true energy, and nourish the weak organs.

This is just suitable for those Nuo opera masters.

He whispered a few words to the two Hongmen disciples accompanying him. The two disciples had a look of surprise on their faces, and then thanked Xie Zihao. One of them hurried into Hongmen in the ghost market with a medicine bottle.

Inside the hall.

Not long after, a breath rose into the sky, which seemed to represent the departure of the gods.

The Nuo opera masters who returned to the gate of the ghost market completed the final steps and were about to fall to the ground like deflated rubber balls.

Of course, the Hongmen side was well prepared. A well-dressed Hongmen disciple hurried forward, helped the Nuo opera masters up, removed masks, weapons and other props, and then drank a sip of water before pouring

A small pill, the size of a glass bead and glowing with golden light, was stuffed into the mouth.

As soon as the pills were swallowed, the faces of the Nuo masters all turned red on the spot, and steam steamed from the tops of their heads.

The bodies that were originally limp now seemed to be on stimulants, as if they had endless strength.

"Don't waste this rare opportunity if you haven't used your kung fu to absorb the power of the medicine..."

Shangguan Bing, the master of the hall, shouted lowly from behind. The Nuo opera masters also reacted and quickly asked their disciples to help him down, preparing to refine the medicinal power.

On Xie Zihao's side, the white-faced Rakshasa An Shenglie, the owner of the White Tiger Altar who looked very much like Lao Maozi, came over and said to Xie Zihao affectionately and gratefully:

"Thank you, Elder, for the elixir. I, Old An, have accepted your great favor, Elder Xie!"

Deng Chong, the owner of the Xuanwu Altar behind him, also came over and bowed to Xie Zihao:

"That's right, if Elder Xie encounters anything difficult to deal with in the future, you can let him know and Deng will definitely help you with all his strength!"

"So does I, Bai Hutan!"

Xie Zihao asked with some confusion. After listening to the explanations of the two altar masters, he realized that the people who were supporting the Nuo today were brothers from their Baihutan and Xuanwutan families.

Because most of the Baihutan majored in military strategism, and the Xuanwutan brothers majored in the method of inviting gods, both families have always been the most suitable candidates to host the Nuo opera.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Deng Chong said clearly:

"Every four years there is such a Nuo performance, and the participating brothers will inevitably be seriously injured afterwards. Although the Hongmen Director has also given a lot of compensation, mostly nourishing medicines, it will not really cause them to suffer from the disease.

"

"But it will take at least one or two years to fully recover. This time is wasted. You must know that in the Taoist world of cultivation, sometimes if you delay for one or two years, your own cultivation will still be at the same level, while others may have been promoted to the next level.

Already."

And Xie Zihao's bottle of Three-Yuan Golden Lock Pill is extremely effective. One pill is equivalent to the effectiveness of a bunch of supplements and drugs provided by Hongmen. It is also spiritually gentle, replenishes vitality and has quick effects. It can even improve your spiritual practice after taking it.

It was an unexpected surprise for the two brothers who played the role of Nuo opera masters.

That's why these two altar hosts came over immediately to express their gratitude.

Xie Zihao also didn't expect that he would be able to win over the hearts of the two major factions within Hongmen with such a bottle of elixir. At least the relationship between these two forces and him would be inseparable from now on.

So he waved his hand.

"It's just a product of my random experiments. It can't be said to be that precious. It's far worse than the legendary elixir."

The two hall masters are both straightforward men, and they can't stand Xie Zihao's understatement of Versailles. However, considering that they are Yin Shen Zhenren, it's not surprising that they casually came up with some magic pills.

The two of them had a friendly exchange with Xie Zihao for a while, and then left one after another because they were concerned about the situation of the brothers in the altar.

Xie Zihao watched the two of them leave, and then led a group of people down to the stands under the guidance of Hongmen disciples to visit the ghost market, which was busier than the temple fair. Everyone also tried all kinds of delicious and fun things.

, the stall owners all smiled as if their faces were blooming.

Practitioners are basically pot-bellied people. Doing business in the ghost market is more profitable than in flea markets or snack streets outside.

After playing all night, the group was very excited and looking forward to it even more.
