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

On the way back, the villagers were still not satisfied and kept talking about Lu Yuan.

"Dad, who is this Master Lu?"

"At the very least, he is a descendant of a famous family." The old village chief smacked his lips and added, "If we guess higher, he could be from the Lu family."

The strongest beast tamer that the village chief Liu Chunjiu has heard of is a Taoist priest named Zhang. He has a six-star beast named Fuxiao Beast, which can summon wind and rain. He is best at talismans and thunder, and is extremely famous.

Six stars is the top, and below that are the five-star beastmasters from various noble families and large sects, which are also extremely rare.

Therefore, five-star beastmasters are rare, let alone such a young master.

He did not see the scene of Lu Yuan suppressing evil with his own eyes. He thought that Lu Yuan was too young and should not have reached the five-star level, but he might have only one foot in the five-star level.

anyway.

What is Master Lu doing in this small mountain village?

The resources near the village are exhausted, there are neither spiritual veins nor rare spiritual medicine fields.

When the village chief thought about this, he regained his senses and felt strange.

I forgot to ask Lu Yuan why he came here. I must find out when we set up the banquet tomorrow.

It's best to be able to help.

Speaking of which, the New Year is approaching, and the disaster of the Nian beast is also coming soon.

If Master Lu could stay in the village to celebrate the New Year together, this year would be much better.

As they were thinking about it, they returned to the ancestral temple holding the incense burner containing their ancestors' ashes.

There is an old tree in the ancestral temple courtyard. Its branches and leaves are lush and have grown out of the courtyard wall. Its canopy completely covers the ancestral temple.

It is unknown what kind of tree this is. The tree is covered with black branches, which stretch out one by one and grow into the shape of tree roots. They drill into the ground and stick out their roots in various cracks in the bricks and walls. Its presence covers almost every corner of the ancestral hall.

The village chief vaguely remembered that there was no such tree before, so it is strange that it has almost occupied the entire ancestral hall now.

Logically speaking, this tree has grown so wildly that it has covered the sky of the ancestral temple. Someone should be sent to trim it.

But he asked his ancestors for permission, and they disagreed, so there was nothing he could do but let it go.

The village chief Liu Chunjiu handed the urn to his son and said:

"This time you are the one who invites the ancestors home. Be gentle and remember what I taught you before."

A look of surprise flashed across Liu Mian's face. He didn't expect that this time it was his turn to invite his ancestors back to the ancestral temple.

In the past, it was my father who did all the work.

Could it be that?

When Liu Mian looked at his father's aged face, he realized that his hair had turned a lot whiter, which showed that the ancestral family skills had been consumed a lot.

"Dad, can I let my brother come and invite you?" Liu Mian asked hesitantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Just treat me, and do it quickly!"

The old village chief was angry, his face turned red, and he almost wanted to slap someone in the face.

If this wasn't the ancestral temple, a slap would definitely be inevitable.

Liu Mianyi is the eldest son of the village chief. He is 32 years old and married.

In the past few years, his wife had not been able to conceive a son. Later, the village chief prayed for help from everyone and finally got the blessing of the ancestors. The next year, she gave birth to several big fat boys. She was a model of a prosperous village.

It is both moral and polite for Liu Mianyi to thank his ancestors and personally invite them home.

Once Liu Mian invited more people, he became familiar with the ancestors.

Only after his son has firmly established himself in this position can Liu Chunjiu be considered to have abdicated peacefully.

As for the youngest son Liu Mian'er, he suddenly became insane and became a mess all day long, urinating and defecating anywhere.

Liu Chunjiu once asked his ancestors to bless his youngest son, but he didn't expect that his youngest son became even crazier, talking nonsense whenever he saw anyone, and he had to be locked up at home most of the time.

The youngest son is not even liked by his ancestors, so how can he be allowed to show his face in front of them again?

Therefore, the successor can only be Liu Mianyi and no one else.

Liu Mianyi was very unhappy, because every time he invited his ancestors, he would lose one year of his life.

But his old father urged him again and again, and with the eyes of relatives behind him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the urn, and follow the clan etiquette his father had taught him, kneeling three times and kowtow nine times, burning incense and praying, to invite the ancestors home.

Boom, boom, boom.

The candlelight flickered, the smoke from the three incense sticks swirled slightly, and a transparent figure passed by the crowd.

Some people laughed, some cursed, and some patted Liu Mianyi's shoulder, causing Liu Mianyi to tremble all over and his body to become inexplicably weak.

Dozens of tablets on the table shook for a few seconds, as if they recognized Liu Mianyi, and the surrounding illusions and sounds slowly ceased.

Liu Chunjiu watched Liu Mianyi complete the whole set of movements, put the incense burner back in front of the ancestral tablet, respectfully poured tea and wine on it, and felt relieved when he saw that the ancestors had no objection.

After Liu Mian completed the whole ritual, he was sweating profusely and felt as if his body was hollowed out. He was twice as exhausted as he was after sex.

Looking at those ancestral tablets, he felt even more disgusted, and guessed that his wife would be upset when he returned home.

Oh, I get a headache just thinking about it.

……

Lu Yuan rode on his Dabai bicycle and wandered aimlessly in the village.

When Dabai activates the stealth skill, he can also become invisible while riding on it, so he doesn't worry about alerting others.

Dabai's footsteps were also very light, and apart from leaving a trail of footprints on the snow, there wouldn't be much impact. When the wind blew at night, the footprints would disappear.

He walked and stopped, admiring the layout of the village buildings. He could hear the noisy sounds of eating, drinking and having fun, and there were children playing and frolicking on the road.

This was completely different from the atmosphere he had seen when he first entered the village.

Before, the whole village was dead silent, with an eerie red light and no sign of life, as if there was a great evil spirit present.

Now laughter and singing can be heard throughout the entire village, living people can be seen everywhere, and joy and warmth can be felt wherever you go, which shows that this village is still full of vitality.

It seemed so weird before, all because of the evil spirit entering the village.

Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated by him, the village has naturally returned to normal.

Thinking of this, his mood also relaxed.

Hearing the villagers talking about their own affairs, Lu Yuan stopped and listened for a while.

Things like chicken, duck, fish and meat are all meaningless gift-giving topics.

It's just that the hostess thinks it's too wasteful and Lu Yuan will leave the village soon.

The male owner, however, felt that this was a matter of face. His family could go without meat, but they could not lose face, so the old couple started arguing.

Lu Yuan was not interested in this and did not want them to give him gifts.

Lu Yuan is not from this world, so when he wakes up from his dream, he can eat whatever he wants in reality.

Speaking of which, would eating nutritious food in a dream help with spiritual practice?

"Dabai, you just ate an evil spirit. How do you feel now?" Lu Yuan asked.

There are not many evil spirits in reality. In all areas where humans live, the old evil spirits have basically been captured by the beast masters. Only the ignorant and fearless new evil spirits dare to show up on the streets.

In the eyes of animal tamers, evil spirits are a great tonic for certain types of pets.

As long as it is edible and nutritious, it will often be fought over.

If it weren't for the fact that the birth process of evil spirits violates the moral code, the beastmasters would have wanted to open an evil spirit breeding factory.

Therefore, evil spirits are rare and tonic items in modern times, and are often out of stock.

The Nian beast likes to eat big meat, swallow the essence of heaven and earth to practice, has infinite strength, is agile, is not afraid of evil things, is naturally afraid of fire, loud noises, and hates the color red.

Based on the strengths and advantages of the Nian Beast, modern beastmasters have developed the classic "One Punch Super Beast Style", the "Evil Creature Nemesis Style" which has been iterated in countless versions, and the "Giant Transformation Style" which has emerged in recent years.

In addition to these three, there are countless routes for breeding Nian beasts.

However, with the baptism of time and the internal competition of the Nian Beast battles one after another, the other evolutionary routes were gradually eliminated.

In the previous battle between the Nian Beasts, most of the contestants only practiced the "One Punch Super Beast Style" and the "Giant Transformation Style". These two are T0-level combat power in the Nian Beast Civil War, and the Evil Creature Nemesis can only move back to T1.

The Evil Killer Flow is a classic breeding route, specifically designed to defeat evil spirits. It has been iterated for a thousand years and has optimized the full-star breeding cost. Not only is it not afraid of evil things, but it can also digest evil spirits as its own nutrients and nourish the evil-suppressing talisman. Therefore, one-third of the Nian Beast Tamers in the world still choose to take this route.

Lu Yuan's family is not very rich and cannot afford the extremely expensive One Punch Super Beast Style and Gigantamax Transformation Style, so he can only cultivate the more classic Evil Killer Style with a smooth growth curve.

The comprehensive cultivation cost of the Evil Killer Stream has dropped by more than a hundred times compared to thousands of years ago.

From one star to seven stars, the rich have their own way of raising them, and the poor have their own way of raising them.

The expensive way to raise a monster is to eat unlimited amounts of evil spirit upgrade talismans, which can lead to rapid growth. You can reach three stars in one year, five stars in three years, and six stars in five years.

Even in the absence of evil spirits to feed on, one can rely on the evil-suppressing talisman to cultivate the mind and nourish the soul, growing slowly every day, reaching two stars in five years, three stars in the twelfth year, and four stars in the twenty-fifth year.

It can be said that the cultivation cost of this evolutionary route is dynamically floating, and you can accelerate it if you invest.

It can still grow without investment, but it will be much slower and not to zero.

Unlike some money-burning cultivation routes, if you don’t invest, you won’t grow at all.

“Ah!”

Dabai finished his exercise, opened his eyes and showed a happy expression.

Its tail shook like a propeller and it made a cheerful sound.

The power of the evil-suppressing talisman has grown by nearly 10%!
