Chapter 105 Repressing Evil

So, *Zhen Sui*, repressing evil, is that how the name *Zhen Sui Fu* (Repressing Evil Manor) came to be?

Just moments ago, Hu Ma could calmly and composedly converse with the Mountain Lord, but upon hearing those words, he felt a profound sense of shock.

*Zhen Sui Fu*, he'd just opened it up a few days ago, just started feeling like the future held promise, full of expectation, but now the Mountain Lord was telling him that *Zhen Sui Fu* was repressing transmigrators?

Wait, so a big transmigrator like himself was about to take over the Hu family's heirloom and inherit such a large *Zhen Sui Fu*?

What would he do after taking over?

Slay Erguotou, stomp on Sweet Potato Wine, and then snatch Miss White Wine as his consort, sending Miss Red Wine to herd sheep?

Such news truly frightened Hu Ma, but the Mountain Lord seemed to have just casually mentioned an insignificant piece of information. Perhaps he felt that transmigrators were too far removed from Old Yin Mountain, and besides, this was originally one of the major events that *Zhen Sui Fu* had once handled.

Many years had passed, so it was probably irrelevant to the current descendants of the Hu family...

Now, sensing the shock in Hu Ma's heart, he just smiled and looked at him, saying, "What, getting scared?"

"It's just that I didn't expect the Hu family to be carrying such a big karma on their heads."

Hu Ma took a deep breath, trying to adjust, and said to the Mountain Lord, "But I'm also curious, if *Zhen Sui Fu* is for suppressing these evil beings, then why haven't I seen anything special about *Zhen Sui Fu*?"

"Moreover, hasn't *Zhen Sui Fu* been absent for many years? ... I heard Aunt Zhang say that. If that's the case, then how does it suppress these evil beings?"

Hearing his question, the Mountain Lord frowned slightly and said, "I don't know much about this either. I only know that after the battle in Shangjing, the National Preceptor was seriously injured, blood filled the capital, and countless troops were lost before the evil ghost was suppressed in the Blood Altar."

"Since then, the Ten Clans have each taken on a duty, and the Hu family received the mandate to suppress these extraterrestrial evils, and indeed did a lot of work."

"However, I don't know what the final result was, or why they turned against the Meng family. The emperor was skinned, and the dynasty's fortune was scattered. We all fled into the mountains, avoiding these grudges, leaving only the Ten Clans to guard this world."

"But what happened between the Ten Clans is not something outsiders like us can guess. Looking back now, it should be related to the legendary Stone Pavilion Alliance."

"..."

"Another Stone Pavilion Alliance, it seems like a lot of important things were discussed in that Stone Pavilion..."

Hu Ma's mind raced, slowly pondering and sorting out the various questions in his heart. He slowly said, "If this group of evil ghosts is related to the Hu family, then what you said earlier..."

He paused slightly and said, "What's the name of that evil being who brought disaster to the world?"

The Mountain Lord nodded, finding Hu Ma's reaction reasonable, and said softly, "That evil being had great abilities and a mysterious origin. His background has long been investigated, he was just an orphan from a certain village who learned some tricks from somewhere and started causing trouble."

"Now, the village where he came from has long been slaughtered, and since he was identified as being possessed by an evil ghost, his original background and name are meaningless. However, one of his titles has been remembered."

"He once called himself 'Great Virtuous Teacher'!"

"?!"

Hu Ma was stunned. Fortunately, he had prepared himself before discussing this issue and managed to control his emotions, preventing himself from getting agitated again.

Great Virtuous Teacher...

...Why don't you just call yourself General of Heaven!

This is really, as soon as you hear this name, you know this kid is going to rebel...

"The *Zhen Sui Fu* has a great reputation and power, and it did leave behind a lot of karma back then."

The Mountain Lord looked at Hu Ma's contemplative appearance and sighed softly, saying, "Although I don't think it's necessary, it's right for you to be careful in advance. Although that demon has died, it is indeed said that he left behind a group of disciples who are stirring up trouble everywhere."

"Disciples..."

Hu Ma was suddenly reminded and asked curiously, "The disciples left behind by the demon must also be demons, but I wonder, which sect do they belong to?"

"The demon's disciples have strange names..."

The Mountain Lord frowned slightly as he said this, saying, "I only remember that that branch of Daoism seems to be called something like 'Doesn't Eat Beef,' forming its own school, and seems to have a tradition of not eating beef."

"Doesn't Eat Beef Dao, what kind of name is that?"

Hu Ma was slightly stunned as he listened, and suddenly reacted. Doesn't Eat Beef, Doesn't Eat Beef... Doesn't eat beef?

Holy crap...

This guy is really arrogant...

"Yes."

He forced himself to restrain his mind, nodded in agreement.

Having realized that his mental changes during this conversation were somewhat significant, not wanting to be seen by the Mountain Lord, he pretended to just silently remember it, and then said, "There's another matter, what does Senior think about the Plum Blossom Alley in Ming Prefecture City?"

Hearing this, the Mountain Lord smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't interfere with them, so I can't control them."

"If we're talking about who can control them, it's your Hu family. If you dare to reveal your identity and run to Plum Blossom Alley, asking them to hand over the incense to you, I don't think they would dare to refuse, and might even be eager to do so."

"The people behind them wouldn't dare to say a word either, but since you haven't truly obtained the Hu family's heirloom yet, it's still too early to say this now."

"..."

"It's actually useful..."

Hu Ma sighed in his heart, thinking that he needed a large batch of blood food for his Watch-the-New-Year-into-the-Manor ceremony...

As soon as he thought of blood food, he immediately calmed down.

Thinking about things so far away made his head hurt, and he felt a sense of incomprehensible mystery and fear of the unknown, but as soon as he thought of blood food, it became very real. So, he asked the Mountain Lord some more questions about the Yang bow and the Assistant Magistrate, and then bid farewell and left the mountain.

After leaving Old Yin Mountain, blown by the wind, his floating thoughts slowly calmed down.

"Perhaps, this isn't a bad thing?"

When he first heard that the *Zhen Sui* in *Zhen Sui Fu* was actually related to transmigrators, he was really frightened.

But after calming down and thinking about it, Hu Ma suddenly had a thought.

It seemed that the key point he should focus on wasn't where the words *Zhen Sui* in *Zhen Sui Fu* came from, but what the Mountain Lord said before saying those words.

This time, setting up a killing scheme against the Five Fiend Gods actually caused quite a stir. It not only attracted the attention of the Ming Prefecture's martial world but also targeted the Emperor's fate. While the surface logic was consistent, subtle details still exposed the differences between him and the people of this world.

Some marks on the transmigrator's body cannot be erased.

Just like in this world, the reverence for aristocratic families and the contempt for rural commoners cannot be erased.

Even if the people of this world know about the existence of the Emperor Seed, they would only think that the Emperor Seed would come from aristocratic families, government offices, or even the martial world. Only transmigrators wouldn't care.

The Emperor's throne is taken in turns, this year it's my family's turn. The aristocratic lords don't have an extra testicle, so why should everything be prioritized for you?

This is the characteristic of transmigrators, which can't be concealed no matter what.

And the Mountain Lord, as someone who cooperated with him in this matter, coupled with his status and insight, it wasn't difficult for him to detect some subtle details. However, he had no doubts about him at all. Wasn't the reason *Zhen Sui Fu*?

He truly believed from the bottom of his heart that those "evil beings" could be attracted anywhere else, but never near the Hu family's descendants like himself.

Then, wouldn't this be a natural disguise for him, and for the transmigrators around him?

Taking a deep breath, he quickened his pace, patted the donkey tied outside the mountain a few times, and trotted back to the village.

He vaguely understood in his heart that entering the manor and obtaining the Hu family's heirloom was extremely important.

However, studying other transmigrators, especially those who were earlier than him and already had Miss Red Wine and Miss White Wine, was also very important. At the very least, he had to understand the grievances and entanglements between that group of transmigrators and the Hu family's *Zhen Sui Fu*!

Silently sorting things out in his mind, he arrived at the Natal Spirit Temple. After hesitating between Sweet Potato Wine, Miss White Wine, and Erguotou, he chose to call Erguotou.

Although this old brother was cautious, he was also reliable...

"Senior Erguotou..."

"Brother Erguotou, can you hear my call?"

"..."

"Oh, brother, don't be so polite, just call me Erguotou. We're peers now..."

Erguotou's voice quickly rang out, and he said busily, "Didn't we say to be careful during this time? I'm also busy. What do you want from me?"

"I went into the mountain..."

Hu Ma, thinking about the things he wanted to ask, but couldn't ask too directly, pondered how to start the topic, saying, "I went to see that noble person, burned some incense, and kowtowed to him."

Erguotou's interest was immediately piqued, and he asked eagerly, "What was the result?"

"It's quite strange..."

Hu Ma said deliberately, "I did see that person, but unfortunately, he didn't say anything to me. He just nodded and said that I could look for that little Assistant Magistrate if I had anything, and then he gave me a strange errand..."

Erguotou asked anxiously, "Quick, what is it?"

Hu Ma said, "He actually assigned me a strange errand, saying that a Three-Legged Toad ran out of Old Yin Mountain, and asked me to help him find it when I have time..."

"Brother Erguotou, you've seen a lot, have you ever heard of this kind of thing?"

"..."

"What?"

Erguotou was excited, his voice trembling as he said, "Three-Legged Toad? Brother, you've struck gold..."

Hu Ma asked quickly, "What do you mean by that?"

Erguotou sighed, "There are many toads that have become spirits and have Dao practices, but none can be called Golden Toads. Three-legged ones are even rarer, but you're still young and don't understand the deeper meaning..."

"Since he asked you to find the Three-Legged Toad, he gave you the status of handling errands for him. If you can't find it in one day, then look for it for two days. If you can't find it in two days, then keep looking..."

"Damn, you kid really made a profit, saying you wanted to hug a thigh, and you really hugged one."

"He's treating you as one of his own..."
