Chapter 37: The danger of being a human target

It turned out that these seemingly ordinary people were actually people with supernormal capabilities, which shocked me when I heard it.

When I first entered this department, I heard that there were indeed people with supernormal capabilities in this world, but very few of them could actually be used in a certain way. I didn’t expect that there would be seven of them in this operation.

And their so-called supernormal capabilities are all the same, that is, telekinesis, which is the most common and most widely spread among people. In my opinion, this supernormal capability has a strong practical basis, that is, the mental power is particularly outstanding.

This is something that Taoists should envy, because spiritual power plays such a big role in Taoist magic. But having a high spiritual power does not mean that you have a high talent for Taoist magic. After all, another more important requirement for Taoist magic is having a strong spiritual power. In other words, it is the ability to communicate with all things in the world.

But this time, the department deliberately sent seven people with psychic powers, and it wasn’t a wild goose chase. I deeply suspect that it was definitely the master’s request.

The master’s questions to them were very strange. The master asked each of them the same question: “If you use all your strength, without using your psychic power, to exert mental pressure on a person, to what extent can you oppress that person?”

This question is impossible for ordinary people to answer, but these people were able to give the master an exact answer. For example, they could drive someone crazy, or make someone’s brain completely blank for a short period of time.

One of the girls, who seemed very naive and had a student’s face, gave the most surprising answer. She said that she could completely control the person for a certain period of time, which could be between 20 and 35 minutes.

Faced with these answers, Master thought for a while and then nodded, saying that it could also do what I asked.

As soon as the Master finished speaking, the little student girl asked, “Is this witchcraft a set-up, or is it set up by many people? Why do we have to break it with so many people?”

The Master smiled slightly. It seems that this little girl is quite competitive, but this is also a common problem with people who are different. He replied, “Because we care about the cost of our conscience, we have a bottom line of principles. In the face of madness, it is more difficult. Moreover, when the skills of two people are similar, it is much more difficult to break the spell than to cast it. As always, attacking is more exhausting than defending!”

The little girl seemed to understand, but this was not the time to reason with her. After selecting the personnel, the master told everyone what we were going to do.

Here, the art of witchcraft is not very helpful, and this kind of black witchcraft, which is already biased towards top-level witchcraft, cannot be broken by ordinary witchcraft, unless there is the same top-level white witchcraft to resolve it. But ironically, in the long river of history, the development of white witchcraft can never compare with black witchcraft.

After a few minutes of preparation, the master took out a magic weapon, a sword made entirely of copper coins. It was even more effective against ghosts than a peachwood sword. After all, the yang energy contained in a single piece of peachwood was far less than that contained in many pieces of copper coin. The copper coins on this sword are not ordinary coins. They are not precious in terms of cultural relics, but they are truly the money of the people. In other words, a copper coin has been passed through at least ten thousand hands, and the yang energy it has absorbed is so strong that it can be said to be harmful to heaven and earth when used against ghosts.

The other two Taoist priests also prepared the most yang-oriented magic weapons. In short, in the face of the resentment of the angry mother and the extremely filthy and evil blood of the infant spirit, only the yang can be used to suppress it.

I didn’t prepare anything, I just pulled open my collar and revealed my tiger claws. My aura was so powerful that it could crush the spirits of a hundred tigers. There were not many things that could match the power of my tiger claws. No matter how much negative energy there was, it would all retreat in the face of my aura. And the negative energy of that ghost would never affect me, because I already had an agarwood bead in my mouth. That was my master’s favorite thing. It could expel evil spirits and keep the spirit clear. It couldn’t be better.

I don’t know how to awaken the tiger spirit in the tiger claw. If I can awaken it, I’m afraid even the vengeful mother can resist for a while. After all, that guy can still tangle with the old village chief…

In addition to these two items, I also have a copper coin given to me by Uncle Li, but that is similar to the magic weapon that my master left me last time, and it is nothing compared to these two. After all, the products of the master are always high-quality!

Thinking about it, I have quite a few good things on me, at least more than one.

When everyone was ready, Master nodded to me, indicating that I could enter the formation. After all, I am a spirit with a boy’s life, which means that I am the easiest person to seduce ghosts, and also the easiest person to feel ghosts. It is most appropriate for me to lure out the angry mother.

After all, ghosts at a certain level already have a natural ‘fighting instinct’. If an ordinary person goes in, it might not move, but wait for the main force to go in and then attack, and our actions will be passive. With me as a ‘living target’, the moment Master and the others enter the trap, they can lock on to the ghost mother and also gain a certain amount of time to cast spells.

Master’s arrangement is extremely reasonable, although it is a bit too harsh on me as a disciple. But to put it another way, if I hadn’t worn the Tiger Claw since I was a child, I would probably be a person who sees ghosts every day and doesn’t have a very happy life.

I held the talisman on the tiger claw, took a deep breath, and then stepped into this witchcraft trap full of cruelty.

At this point, my tiger claws had already been sealed by a special talisman that could temporarily block all qi, including the evil and spiritual energy of my tiger claws. This talisman was not low-level, but a purple talisman.

To be honest, I was quite relaxed as I stepped into the trap. I had said that I was afraid of insects, but not evil spirits. In fact, I was quite relaxed as I took these few steps.

The first step was calm and quiet, but behind me, I could hear a sound of exhalation. It was the sound of people subconsciously relaxing when they saw that the mother of the demon had not come out, including my master.

The second part was still calm and peaceful. Apart from the occasional crowing of chickens, there was not even a hint of wind. I turned around to indicate that everything was fine, but I saw that people’s expressions changed. My master almost blurted out, “Don’t open your heavenly eyes, that’s a serious provocation.” He became the one who couldn’t hold back the most.

Although he had told me this many times before the action, when faced with ghosts that you are not sure how to deal with, try not to open your heavenly eyes. Ghosts instinctively fear being detected, and opening your heavenly eyes is a serious provocation that will make the ghosts you cannot suppress, especially the fierce ghosts, never stop pursuing you.

And at this time, the master couldn’t help but mention it, which shows how nervous he was!

I shook my head and signaled to my master with my eyes that everything was fine. At this time, I could not speak, because speaking would disperse the concentrated breath, distracting the spirit and weakening the aura.

The master signaled me to continue, and if there were no special circumstances, I should not turn back to remind him. I nodded and continued walking forward.

One step, two steps, three steps… I walked for a long time, almost out of the clearing, but nothing happened.

I wasn’t nervous, but this situation made me feel like a monk who couldn’t figure out what was going on. Could it be that the talisman didn’t work and the tiger’s aura wasn’t sealed? Or could it be that the vengeful mother was too smart and was still waiting for the right moment?

I don’t understand, but until my master gives me new instructions, I can only continue to wander around this open space. If nothing happens, my master will have to reconsider the whole thing.

After all, my special fate is like a cake to evil spirits and ghosts. There is no reason why they should not appear, unless they are not ghosts at all, but demons.

In this way, I kept walking until I reached the end of the field, where there was a big tree. After passing the tree, I had left the field.

I continued walking forward, looking at the tree. I was not nervous, and my calm heart followed my footsteps, but suddenly I became uneasy. I didn’t know what I was uneasy about, and as long as my master didn’t say anything, I could ignore my uneasiness because I trusted my master so much.

Gradually, I got closer and closer to the tree. When I was only three or five steps away, I felt as if something had pinched my heart, and it suddenly squeezed up, and I couldn’t even breathe. I finally couldn’t hold it in, and I turned to say to the Master that something was wrong…

But at the same time, I suddenly saw something strange in the corner of my eye, and I suddenly changed my expression.

The sound of my master’s voice also reached my ears: “Chengyi, retreat quickly. We’ve been tricked… Hurry…”
