I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

After cleaning the room, the old man took his granddaughter outside to make a fire and cook. At this time, the Nian beast Dabai appeared in the house, lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out.

The old man secretly thanked God that the stove was built outside, otherwise it would be extremely uncomfortable to make a fire and cook with the Nian beast inside.

While he was burning wood and using the thick smoke to clear the chimney, he was observing the conditions of several nearby houses.

Every household hung red lanterns and placed donkey skin shadow puppets inside the house, except his house, which did not have any, and he lit a fire outside to cook.

From an outsider's perspective, his family is at risk of being targeted by evil spirits.

However, family members know their own business.

At that time in the morning, he had not heard of the evil invasion.

The situation now has turned out like this, it must be that the villagers discovered the abnormality at the village gate and mobilized urgently in a short period of time, summoning all the villagers back to the ancestral temple to get bamboo swords, summon the firecracker beast, and prepare to fight the Nian beast.

The old man listened carefully to the movements in the house, reached out and gently pushed his granddaughter beside him, pointed to the right, and nodded, telling her to walk faster.

On the left is the direction of the ancestral temple.

The right side is the opposite direction.

When beastmasters fight, mortals suffer.

Those who are not capable of fighting must stay away from the center of the battle to avoid being affected.

He pushed the child twice, but couldn't move him.

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? Go play. We don't need your help in making the fire."

The old man became anxious and whispered in her ear.

"No, Grandpa, look over there, there's a person..."

"Someone is...?"

The old man was staring at the gate on the left and didn't notice what was happening on the child's side.

Suddenly a cold wind blew, and he turned his head to the right and found a little boy standing there, waving and smiling at them.

He was a boy of about twelve years old, wearing an inappropriate short-sleeved linen shirt, which revealed his round belly, as if he was very full.

His eyes were wide open and his face was ruddy. Seeing that both the grandfather and grandson had discovered him, he shouted happily:

"Jiang Xue, come out and play with us. Why did I ask everyone to stay indoors? Do you hate me?"

The child said in a childish tone.

This is the kid from the next-door neighbor. His nickname is Da Zhuang, but he doesn’t have a good relationship with Jiang Xue.

Because Da Zhuang liked to bully her, Jiang Xue had complained to him many times, and their relationship was very bad, which Uncle Jiang knew.

Seeing Da Zhuang actively inviting Jiang Xue to come out and play, especially during this special period when everyone in the village had gone to the ancestral temple, how could there be any talk of "not going out"?

It's obvious that something is wrong with Da Zhuang!

The old man immediately became alert, thinking that this might be an evil spirit!

He placed his palm on his granddaughter's arm to protect her from being confused.

Looking more closely at the corner of the boy's mouth, there were red stains that had not been wiped clean.

That is most likely human blood. I wonder which unlucky person was in trouble.

"Don't talk to him, let's go back to the house."

The old man spoke quickly, without hesitation, and immediately pulled his granddaughter into the house, while looking back vigilantly.

The little boy was not happy and shouted from behind: "Don't go, wait for me!"

As he spoke, he quickly ran after him.

The short legs didn't seem to be fast, but when the two were about to enter the house, the boy unexpectedly stood in the middle of the door, blocking the space for them to enter the house.

The grandfather and grandson were so scared that they stopped immediately and sweat broke out on their heads.

He wanted to retreat and escape, but the child blew a breath, and their legs seemed to be frozen by the cold, stuck in the snow, and they couldn't move their feet out.

"Grandpa Jiang, I'm hungry. Do you have any food? Why don't you leave it all for me?"

Da Zhuang opened his mouth exaggeratedly, laughed happily, and let out an innocent laugh.

On this night with two moons in the sky and active yin energy, his eyes were dark and out of focus.

Moreover, to the grandfather and grandson, this laughter was not good at all, it was too creepy.

His stomach was clearly already full, but he still wanted to continue eating. Doesn't that mean he wanted to eat two people?

Faced with evil spirits, the villagers didn't have many good solutions and could only pray for their ancestors' protection.

His pet, Red Firecracker, is a fire-attributed pet, bred from local earth paper and fire core powder. It does not have the yang energy of flesh and blood, and cannot dispel powerful evil spirits.

The old man was filled with despair.

It seems that this is where their life will end.

The old man protected his granddaughter behind him and summoned the firecracker beast, ready to die together.

Perhaps Da Zhuang's laughter was too wild, and a sound of light footsteps was heard in the house.

Da Zhuang exclaimed, feeling surprised that there was someone else in the room.

When he walked over just now, he only felt the yang energy of the grandfather and grandson, and did not sense the atmosphere in the house.

Da Zhuang turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a pair of red eyes lighting up in the darkness.

The beast's paw, as big as a casserole, came down without a word, hitting Da Zhuang's face and instantly restraining his limbs.

"Where did this little brat come from?"

Lu Yuan walked to the door and glanced at the boy.

The Nian beast Dabai snorted lightly, and the black horn on its head emitted a bright light that could suppress evil.

The flowing cloud patterns on its body twisted into the shape of a mighty heavenly dragon talisman to suppress evil, and quickly swam under the beast's claws and pressed on the evil spirit's door.

The grandfather and grandson only felt a white light passing before their eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of comfort surged in their hearts, as if all the evil spirits in their bodies had been swept away, and their feet were obedient again.

Looking at the child again, he fell limply to the ground, closed his eyes in pain, as if he was having a nightmare.

A thick black fog flew out above the boy's head. In the black fog was a ferocious ghost face. It wanted to fly away, but was stuck by the golden evil-suppressing talisman.

This caused it to lose all its strength and it couldn't help but look terrified.

The Nian beast Dabai opened its mouth and sucked the black mist into its mouth, then swallowed it in two sips.

"belch--"

Dabai burped and wagged his big black tail, satisfied with the taste of the little dessert.

Lu Yuan looked at Jiang Bo.

Uncle Jiang was stunned. He never thought that the Nian beast could really suppress evil. This was really too outrageous.

Seeing Lu Yuan looking at him, he knew it was Lu Yuan who saved them. He immediately pulled his granddaughter to kneel down, burst into tears of gratitude, and bowed to him again and again.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

Jiang Bo didn't believe Lu Yuan before because his hatred for the Nian Beast was deep-rooted. He didn't believe that the Nian Beast could be tamed by humans. Subconsciously, he thought that Lu Yuan was a demon who conspired with the Nian Beast to deceive him into thinking he was a beast tamer.

Seeing Lu Yuan controlling the Nian beast and using the upright technique to suppress evil, all distracting thoughts in his mind were swept away, leaving only emotions such as shame, admiration, and fear, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart.

Such a righteous and powerful method of suppressing evil is not only unavailable in the village, but also in the neighboring town.

The evil-suppressing talisman used by Lu Yuan has pure meaning, is extremely masculine and strong, and seeing the talisman is like seeing the nemesis of all evil. It is definitely an authentic evil-suppressing magic from a famous family!

The most surprising thing is the Nian beast. Nian is a great enemy of mankind. It comes to eat people every year. No one has ever heard of any master taming it.

If there is, he must be a descendant of a noble family, who has never been public until now to come out for experience and be met by him.

From this we can see that Lu Yuan is a powerful person and should not be provoked.

He can't make any more mistakes. He must behave well and try to get Lu Yuan to forgive him.
