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

The sky was clear and blue without a single cloud. There was a small open space under the mountains, where there were the ruins of an ancient village.

Green vines climbed up the walls, the fences collapsed, the ceiling was broken, and the ancestral hall was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.

This ancient village was completely conquered by nature's plants, with weeds everywhere. Lu Yuan could not find any traces of human life, only the end-of-the-world cultural landscape.

The graveyard next door was also overgrown with weeds. Lu Yuan asked Dabai to find the tombstone of the Wang family. After searching for half an hour in the ten-foot-high grass pile, he only found tombstones of other people's families, but did not find the so-called Wang family tomb.

Where is the beast tamer named Wang that Jiang Bo mentioned?

And where are the pets that follow them?

The ancient village that I had the impression of being gloomy now looks green and full of vitality under the bright sunshine, with no evil in sight.

Lu Yuan dug a finger of soil in the palm of his hand and asked Dabai to shine the light of evil-suppressing on it. It showed that the soil was extremely pure and had not been soaked in evil energy for a long time.

"It's strange. Even if the evil spirits move away, the land they have affected will not return to normal so quickly."

Lu Yuan used a special method to crush the mud and sand, and each grain of sand had no different color under the white light.

According to the modern knowledge of exorcism in my mind, the changes here are unreasonable.

Dabai also nodded.

It also felt it was unreasonable, but the facts told it that this was just a deserted ancient village and there was no evil spirit at all.

Zhuge Xiu was not an expert in exorcising evil spirits, so he said, "Isn't it good that the evil spirit has moved away? I know that Liuhe Village has to offer sacrifices every year, which is quite hard. Now that the evil spirit is gone, life will definitely get better in the future."

"I hope it's really moving."

Lu Yuan did not refute. He also hoped that the evil spirit would really leave instead of hiding.

Lu Yuan and Zhuge Xiu left the deserted ancient village. The sky gradually darkened, the celestial dog in the sky ate the moon, the two suns disappeared, and the moon returned to the earth.

The woodland and the ancient village were shrouded in darkness. At midnight, the yin energy was at its heaviest.

Zhuge Xiu, Lu Yuan and the Nian beast Dabai returned to the ancient village and visited the ancestral temple.

Lu Yuan deliberately chose to make a surprise return trip at night just to see the ancient village at night.

Previously, the ancestral tree in Liuhe Village controlled the ancestral temple. Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea and suspected that the abandoned ancestral temple in Xuxi Village had a similar situation.

Maybe there are problems with the ancestral trees of the two neighboring villages, and they are both four-star evil spirits?

When we checked during the day, we found nothing unusual in the overgrown ancestral hall.

Dabai used the light to suppress evil to brighten his eyes, and could no longer see the evil aura.

But this does not mean that their ancestral temple is normal.

Lu Yuan is a modern beastmaster living in a period of technological explosion. The times are developing at a rapid pace, and modern evil spirits are also improving. They have long learned to camouflage themselves in layers to protect themselves and stay alive.

The master-level light of suppressing evil alone cannot reveal the true face of modern evil spirits.

Some evil spirits have grown to such an exaggerated level that they can only be seen through by the perfect, superb, or even nearly-Tao-level evil-suppressing light.

The evil spirits in ancient times could not reach the peak heights of later generations, but they could still surpass the exploration limit of the master-level evil-suppressing light.

For example, if you know how to absorb evil spirits from incense, you can use human incense to cover the eyes of humans and pets so that the eyes can see natural scenes without any evil spirits.

The evil spirits that can do this kind of thing are all monsters with profound skills.

From another perspective, the evil spirit would rather use a trick than fight Dabai head-on, because it must know that it is no match for Dabai.

In other words, they would suffer a loss if they fought against Dabai head-on.

A smart evil spirit will not do anything that will cause harm even though it knows it will lead to disadvantage.

It was with these thoughts in mind that Lu Yuan, with a righteous heart, rode on his Dabai horse to revisit the ancestral temple of Xuxi Village.

Zhuge Xiu was the one who followed out of curiosity. He got along well with Lu Yuan and planned to see what the Nian beast could do.

The ancestral temple compound of Xuxi Village is larger than that of Liuhe Village. Half of the tall courtyard wall is broken, and countless lush plants grow from the outside into the inside. The grass and trees have poked through the ceiling. There are trees in every room, and under the moonlight, they are also full of vitality and there is no evil spirit.

Lu Yuan and Dabai walked around inside and found no evil spirit.

Walking to the courtyard wall, Lu Yuan's gaze stayed outside, where an ancient tree with half of its branches stood outside the wall.

The lower half of the trunk was still in the ground, but the upper half was broken and not on the body.

Lu Yuan went over the wall to check, but couldn't find the upper part of the tree.

Looking back, I noticed that the broken end of the ancestral tree had severe tear marks, as if it was broken by a huge force.

Lu Yuan imagined in his mind that a battle between pet beasts had broken out here, and a large pet beast was knocked flying over, just in time to break the ancestral tree.

"The luck of this place has been broken."

Lu Yuan touched the heart of the tree, thoughtfully.

"Xuxi Village once aroused the anger of Master Wang's pet, and a fierce battle broke out. This ancestral tree must have been broken a hundred years ago." Zhuge Xiu helped analyze.

"That makes sense." As Lu Yuan spoke, he took Dabai back to the ancestral temple and found the place where the tablets were enshrined.

These tablets had long been covered by green plants. Dabai stepped forward and used his claws to dig them apart. The wooden tablets fell to the ground with a clatter and broke into pieces of broken wood.

"This..." Zhuge Xiu, who followed in, was stunned and kindly reminded: "Senior, you will shorten your life if you do this. Dabai's movements should be slow, or let my mantis beast take it."

Smashing someone's ancestral tablet is a huge revenge.

Fortunately, all the people in Xuxi Village were killed.

However, even so, it is possible to shorten Lu Yuan's lifespan.

Lu Yuan waved his hand and didn't care.

Or rather, he has discovered some clues.

Even if Dabai tried to hold the tablets more gently in a different way, the tablets would still break and shorten his life.

Lu Yuan picked up the broken tablets and took them outside, and asked Zhuge Xiu to pick the weeds in the yard and knead them into juice with the soil in the yard.

"What is this going to do?"

"Restore the tablet and pray." Lu Yuan said.

Zhuge Xiu was confused, but he did not slow down. He kneaded some weeds in the yard and added moist soil to form a simple soil adhesive.

Lu Yuan reached out and grabbed a little bit, then put it back together under the moonlight, making the tablet neat again.

Dabai brought a large stone and placed each tablet on the stone.

The surname on the tablet has become unclear. The character "Xu" has lost the double radical, leaving only the character "Yu".

The name that follows is also missing a radical or the character structure is incomplete.

Lu Yuan took out an incense burner and three incense sticks from his pocket and placed them in front of several tablets.

The remaining tablets can no longer be pieced together and have been corroded into slag.

Lu Yuan did not waste it and put the wooden tablet fragments into the incense burner.

It just made up a small box of "ashes".

Three incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner and lit without fire. Lu Yuan chanted in front of the incense, while Dabai's head and horns were also glowing, talismans were flashing, and a ritual was performed.

Zhuge Xiu inexplicably understood what was going on. It seemed like he was summoning spirits. Could it be an alternative use of the skill of the Light of Suppressing Evil?

But Lu Yuan is not a member of the Xu family, can he also invite Xu Jialing?

Also, so much time has passed since this happened, are the spirits of the Xu family’s ancestors still alive on this land?

Slowly, the three incense sticks spontaneously combusted under the light of the talisman, and light smoke rose.

Several ancient tablets were trembling, shrouded in smoke. Blurry old faces appeared inside with eyes closed. It was unclear whether they were dead or alive, and their breath was weak.

"Dear ancestors of the Xu family, I am Lu Yuan, a junior, passing by here, and I came here to get rid of worldly affairs. If you know where the evil spirit has gone, please let me know. I will burn some paper money to repay you afterwards..."
