Chapter 19: Who is it?
Watching Lin Chen’s actions, I always had a strange feeling that they seemed to know me very well, and even knew that my killer move was the Lower Tao technique. Whether it was the Invocation technique or the Lower Tao technique, these were all relatively special Taoist techniques, because once they were successful, they could break through the shackles of power.
Unfortunately, these two methods require too much talent.
Is Lin Chen using this technique to tell me that his talent is not inferior to mine? Or is he trying to use me to prove something?
I shook my head, shook off these chaotic thoughts, concentrated my mind and took the first step. The set of steps is the same as the one Lin Chen took, and it is the set of steps that must be taken in the Taoist art. To put it bluntly, this set of steps is only used to strengthen spiritual awareness.
Once I cast the spell, I am fully absorbed and cannot see the expressions of the people around me, but judging from the quiet atmosphere around me, everyone probably thinks that I will also cast the Mo technique.
If that is the case, they will inevitably worry. After all, Lin Chen has taken the lead, and it is very likely that he will be the first to successfully invite the upper body.
The key to this battle is the magic that is performed outside of the Taoist magic. It is very likely that it will be a situation where both sides will suffer, which is the most normal judgment.
That’s why the people around me were so quiet. I knew that everyone, including my master, was worried about me.
I was calm, but I couldn’t help but feel a little strange, because I didn’t know what the result would be after this card was revealed, but I had to take a chance.
Lin Chen had already finished his steps and was beginning to chant the incantation. Their style was also very interesting. Both the steps and the hand gestures were slightly different from ours, but because of these small differences, they were able to cast spells faster.
However, I can’t judge the power. What does this difference represent? I decided to ask my master after the event.
Here, I had finished my walking the qi and started to chant the hand gestures. But as soon as I started chanting the hand gestures, I heard my master exclaim in shock, “This is impossible!”
I couldn’t explain anything to my master. You see, once the spell is cast, it cannot be stopped. Forcing it to stop would damage the mind and spirit. I had finally recovered from my injuries from the last time, but my essence and blood had not fully recovered, so it was even more impossible for me to stop.
In contrast to my calmness, my master was very agitated. He suddenly said anxiously, “Sanwa, I want you to do your best, but I don’t want you to be aggressive. Can you control the Zhongmao technique? The Zhongmao technique is almost a useless technique in our school. Stop performing the technique, and I will protect you.”
I was grateful to my master for his concern, but it was only for a moment. I sank into a calm state of mind, neither sad nor happy. I did not stop practicing the art, so I could not explain anything to my master, nor could I even convey a glance to him.
It is no wonder that Master was so anxious. Once the Taoist magic backfired, the consequences were extremely frightening. The most common consequence was not knowing what you had invited, and it was easy for it to take over your body.
Moreover, there are no heroic spirits in our school that we can summon, and the art of the middle miao is indeed a useless art.
Seeing that I had not stopped chanting, the master sighed and shouted at the organization, “We will admit defeat in this round. Wait a minute, I will fight you.”
He was talking to the old man, but the old man didn’t want to give him a response. “Young people fighting, we’re afraid we can’t interfere, right? Besides, didn’t you say that only the master is qualified to fight you?”
Over there, Lin Chen’s lower-level magic had already been completed, and he shouted arrogantly, “Chen Chengyi, I have invited a ghost immortal. You are definitely not the most talented person in our lineage, definitely not!”
As he spoke, he began to cast spells, but not thunder-attracting spells, but another kind of spell. He saw him slice his wrist and catch the blood with a talisman, then the talisman burned, and he began to step on a strange step…
This is a very vicious Taoist curse, which can only be performed by someone with great power. It uses one’s own blood to sacrifice to the plague god. Once successful, the plague god will cling to the person who is being treated. The consequences…
If I were to be affected by this spell, even my master could not drive away the curse for me. After all, the plague god is also a kind of god, and the only way to drive away a god is by a god. This has already exceeded the concept of the art of summoning gods and is close to the art of exorcism. If my master were to forcibly drive away the curse for me, he would also have to pay a great price.
This organization is so vicious. First, they used the excuse that they could not interfere in the younger generation’s fight to stop my master. Then they used such a vicious technique to consume the power of both me and my master at the same time!
My master snorted and said nothing, stepping forward a few steps to stop me from continuing to perform the Zhongmao technique. He was an upright man and would not interfere with Lin Chen’s performance of the technique. He wanted to save me and admit defeat if he had to, even if it meant paying a price.
Although I couldn’t open my eyes, I was highly concentrated when I was casting the spell, and I could feel everything around me. My spell was also at a critical moment. I had already touched that power, and just like last time, it didn’t repel me at all, and there was also a feeling of intimacy.
As long as I successfully guided that power to find me, the rest would be easy, even easier than the lower-level Taoist techniques. Seeing that the master was trying to stop me, I couldn’t help but get anxious and couldn’t help but let my mind wander, shouting, “Master, I can do it!”
As soon as I said this, my forehead swelled and my nose started to bleed. This was the result of my being distracted. The master heard my shout and saw the result of my being distracted. He hesitated for a moment.
After a two-second silence, he sighed and said, “Well, I told you to use your full strength. Even if it is a waste of skill, it also proves the ability of my apprentice. Well, well. Use your full strength. I will cast a spell for you afterwards.”
After saying that, the master retreated to the side, and over there, Lin Chen’s chanting of spells did not stop, and it seemed to be somewhat difficult. After all, it was to let the plague god possess a person. Even if it was only a hint of power that distracted him, it also fell within the scope of driving away the gods. Driving and inviting are two concepts. No wonder Lin Chen was so exhausted.
Even if he uses the lower-level ghost-summoning technique to summon a high-level ghost, it will be the same.
At that moment, my Zhongmao technique finally succeeded, and the power suddenly entered my body and instantly filled my entire body.
This time, I let the power ‘invade’ me, unlike last time when I hastily withdrew the technique. I was betting that the power was familiar to me, a power of the same origin.
At this point, my consciousness began to blur, or rather, the “true self” in my body began to be squeezed into the spirit platform. This was no different from the feeling I had when my master cast a spell to make Zhao Jun possess my body in the deserted village.
This shows how powerful this force is.
I dared not use this technique in the secret cave in the mountains of the Miao village, for fear that I would lose my mind after the spell was cast. After all, I didn’t know what exactly I had invited. As my master said, there were no spirits of our lineage that I could invite.
At that time, my life was hanging by a thread. How could I dare to gamble? The Zhongmao technique was just an experiment to test myself when I was bored. I accidentally succeeded, but I interrupted it when I was possessed by the power, and I had no idea what the power was.
This time, with so many people watching, I could take a gamble.
Without the technique, this power quickly and smoothly ‘stationed’ in my body. Unlike every time I used the technique, I had to use my willpower to suppress the power I had invited. This power simply would not allow me to suppress it, but instead suppressed me in the spirit realm, and I instantly became a bystander.
At this moment, I was anxious. If this was a malicious force, then I was in trouble.
But I’m always like this, as Ruoxue said, I’m a gambler, gambling again.
“Hmph…” At this moment, I opened my eyes and let out a cold snort. I stared at Lin Chen, who was casting a curse spell not far away, somewhat coldly. Then, I crossed my arms and said in a very wild and cold manner, “Trivial skill.”
From the moment I said this, I saw my master’s expression change instantly, becoming unbelieving, sad, and reverent and attached, extremely complex.
But I myself could not say anything. Instead, I walked up to my master and, without knowing how, took the yellow cloth bag off his back and said, “Li Chun’er, lend me the Three-Purity Bell.”
