Chapter 91: Underwater Crisis: Vajra Wisdom Root
I mixed the cinnabar here, and Tao Bai also used a small dish to give me a small dish of his blood.
“Is this enough?” Tao Bai placed the small dish of blood next to me, still looking timid. I glanced at the small dish, which was filled with more than half of the blood. Not only was it enough, it was too much!
I looked back at Tao Bai, who had cut his arm. It probably hurt a little, and he frowned slightly. He was pressing down on his wound and looking at me expectantly.
“It’s enough, just wait.” I said to Tao Bai, and he immediately smiled, as if he was very happy to be able to help. What a simple child.
I carefully poured some of the blood into the mixed cinnabar, and then began to draw a talisman with the cinnabar mixed with Tao Bai’s blood. This talisman is also one of the many “waking talismans” that Taoist priests draw. The biggest use is to be used on people whose minds have been confused by ghosts, but this kind of talisman is also a very magical one. Because of the power of the person who draws the talisman and the materials used, the power of the talisman can be as different as 100,000 miles.
Some of the “wake-up” talismans drawn by charlatans are simply useless. It’s not that they’re necessarily trying to deceive people, but because their skills are not up to par, the talismans are naturally useless.
According to my level of skill, drawing a spiritual awakening talisman is a piece of cake. At first, I was also prepared to use this method, but unfortunately, the illusion here is so strong that even I myself cannot break through it. Unless I am given the blood of the crown of the “five-colored rooster,” which is almost impossible to find in the world, I will be able to use the spiritual awakening talisman to awaken everyone.
Unexpectedly, fate always has a surprise twist. Tao Bai’s blood is just as effective as the blood of the five-colored rooster, and even stronger!
It wasn’t too difficult to draw this yellow invigorating talisman, and with the help of Tao Bai’s blood, it was even more successful. However, when I picked up the talisman, I sensed that there was too much yang energy flowing through it, and it seemed that the yellow talisman paper was not enough to withstand Tao Bai’s pure yang blood.
But I couldn’t care less. First, I stuck a refreshing talisman on Chengxin’s body, and then I stuck one on everyone else’s body…
In less than a minute, the powerful refreshing talisman took effect. The first to come to his senses was Xiao Chengqian. After all, he was a member of the Shan family. He rubbed his eyes in confusion and the first thing he said to me was, “How come I feel like I had a very comfortable dream…?”
But before he could finish his sentence, I suddenly felt a bad feeling, like a cool breeze suddenly blowing over my neck, making my whole body cold. I couldn’t help but look back, and I just happened to see Tao Bai lying on the bow of the boat, struggling to do something.
Everything was very calm. Was I being too sensitive? But I still subconsciously asked, “Tao Bai, what are you doing?”
At this time, almost everyone was awake, talking about something in a flurry. I looked at Tao Bai and smiled as he held up the plate in his hand and said to me happily, “Brother Chen, this is still going to be used, so I’ll wash it.”
I was too late to say no, because Tao Bai was holding the plate at an angle, and I watched helplessly as the blood in the plate spilled little by little into the lake below the boat!
It was over. What would happen if the blood of the pure yang was spilled into the lake where the yin energy gathered? It would be like adding a drop of water to boiling oil!
Everyone around me was waking up from their confusion, but in my world at that moment, it was as if there was only me and Tao Bai. I looked at him in panic, and he looked at me innocently and smiled, as if he had noticed something wrong with my expression and wanted to ask me something, but it was already too late!
At that moment, we all heard a mad roar from under the water. The roar was full of pain. The next moment, the calm lake suddenly turned into a huge wave, which suddenly lifted our boat high into the air!
Everyone was too late to react, but I was the only one who reacted quickly enough to pull Tao Bai, who was at the front of the boat, into the boat as it was being lifted up. At that moment, when the boat was in the air, we all saw a shattering!
Yes, it was the world that was breaking in front of our eyes. The beautiful scenery that we had seen before was gone, just suddenly disappearing in front of our eyes.
The crescent moon, the sparse stars, the mist-covered lake, the beautiful lake flowers, the colorful mountains, all shattered in an instant… gone!
Even the beautiful singing that had been floating in the air in this place had turned into a series of ghostly cries…
Before I could see what the world after the crash looked like, I had already slipped into the cabin. I grabbed the railing tightly and shouted, “Everyone hold on tight! Don’t fall into the water!” Chengyuan slipped past me. I grabbed her hand and held her tightly, while the other hand holding the railing tightened even more. But I still couldn’t help but slowly slide down. I cried out in pain, almost holding on by sheer willpower!
I wanted to stabilize the boat, but how could I do that? The boat fell heavily on the water, and we were all thrown up by the huge force. At this time, I clearly saw a more desperate thing. Outside our boat, there was a pair of purple claws tightly wrapped around the boat. On top of the purple claws, there was a shocking bloodstain…
That should not be its blood, but Tao Bai’s blood!
“Haha, the blood that dispels all evil… It really is…,” I thought with a wry smile. It really is. I said that our boat couldn’t move, and it was probably tangled up with this guy from the beginning. Tao Bai’s blood was poured into the lake, and it just so happened to break through all the illusions of disguise…
“Oh… that’s a flower from the legendary hell…” Chengxin suddenly shouted, but now he realized what was the use of it?
Our boat was thrown high into the air by the waves at the bottom of the lake. In that moment, we finally saw the true face of this area beneath the shattered beauty. The mountain became a black mountain in the ghostly mist, the water became black water in the ghostly mist, and the blooming flowers remained the same, but the patterns on the petals had changed. All the patterns formed a series of strange faces.
“We can’t go on like this. We have to find a way to get to land! We can’t do anything on this boat.” I shouted, and with my shout, our boat fell heavily back into the water!
“I’ll do it!” Hui Gen’er stood up and ripped off his shirt, revealing his intertwined muscles. The blood tattoos on his chest and back had already appeared on his body, and the two fierce eyes on the tattoos were vivid.
In the meantime, Huigen had already run to the bow of the boat, then opened his arms and tightly held the sides of the boat, then opened his legs, squatted in a horse stance, and then Huigen’s body’s veins bulged, and the muscles began to expand rapidly in pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the feeling of strength was as strange as an iron block rising up!
“Great Power Vajra!” I muttered. Before that, Huigen had used such power. Has he grown again?
As soon as I finished speaking, the purple claws wrapped around the boat and held it tighter. Then the wind and waves came again, but Huigen roared at this time, and the muscles on his arms burst with blood…
A miracle happened. Our boat was not thrown into the air, but remained steady in the water, only spinning endlessly. Hui Gen’er let out another roar, and in response, a grumbling roar came from under the water.
I understood what we had encountered and shouted to Tao Bai, “Go quickly and stabilize the stern of the boat with your own strength!”
Tao Bai responded, and quickly ran to the stern of the boat, grabbed the stern of the boat in the same way, and then used all his strength to stabilize the entire boat!
At this point, the boat had completely stabilized, and it became a standoff between Tao Bai, Huigen, and the monster under the water. I squinted and carefully observed the pair of strange claws that were wrapped around our boat. At this point, I could clearly see that the pair of strange claws that were wrapped around our boat were not a physical existence, but rather an illusory existence, indicating that the underwater creature was still a ghost…
Is it bullying us? Taking advantage of its power? Trying to overturn our boat? I shouted, “Huigen, Tao Bai, hold the boat steady.”
Then I made a hand gesture and was about to start fighting the ghost, but this time, it was Cheng Yuan who stopped me. She said, “Brother Chengyi, this should be a small shrimp. I’ll deal with it.”
Cheng Yuan is going to fight? I looked at Cheng Yuan with some unease, and I had some worries for no reason.
“You trust me, Brother Chengyi.” Chengyuan’s eyes were unusually determined!
