Chapter 83: Life and Death (2)
Hui Gen’er was back, and I felt a wave of relief. I quickly opened the door and let Hui Gen’er in, but at that moment I could also feel the “cold wind” from Hui Gen’er.
As Ling Ruxue had predicted, the people here must be unlucky. Hui Gen’er had chosen the right path to escape, but he himself was also a great Buddhist, with great spiritual power, and yet he was still being haunted. Those people outside were truly miserable.
But in any case, the moment Hui Gen entered the room, he felt clear-headed. After all, this was the only way to survive.
I rubbed Hui Gen’er’s round head hard, and without saying much, I grabbed the yellow cloth bag that I had hidden under the bed and put it on my back. I said, “Let’s go. I don’t need anything else except these magic tools.”
Of course, I didn’t forget to take out a bone-carved snake from the yellow bag and place it in a hidden formation under my bed. The bone-carved snake is a formation magic weapon. The formation has already been activated, connecting to the large formation in the house. The gate of life has been destroyed, so you can just play in the room.
I thought with a hint of sarcasm, first threw Hui Gen’er out of the window while holding him. When the wind suddenly picked up, I jumped out of the window sill as well. As for Ling Ruxue, she was fast and had already been waiting outside the window sill.
I thought our actions must have been very cool, and we must have been as obvious as a beacon in the darkness, daring to jump out of the window like that.
In fact, it was like that. The moment I landed, I felt like a star on stage, with countless lights shining on me all at once.
Of course, theirs were fluorescent lights, but mine were a fucking torch, plus a torch.
“There, he’s running…” The voices started to get noisy.
“@#锟ワ紖…” I couldn’t understand the Miao language, and then there were the footsteps of many people running towards us.
I took a jade stone from my backpack that was surprisingly cold to the touch, and then, without thinking, I started running with Huigen and Ling Ruxue.
The wind whistled in my ears. In these woods, I discovered for the first time that these trees were so annoying. Even though I was already running very fast, they still managed to slow me down.
I wasn’t worried about Huigen, who had been practicing martial arts since he was young and could run through the woods as fast and nimbly as a monkey.
I was just worried about Ling Ruxue. A girl’s speed can never compare to a boy’s. I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep up and would be taken by Bu Zhou as a daughter-in-law.
I hate the big formation I set up in the woods outside the house. Because the formation itself is too big, and because the center of the formation needs to be kept secret, we have to run for two or three minutes to get to the center of the formation.
Because I saw more and more people gathering.
But there was good news. It turned out that my worries about Ling Ruxue were unnecessary, because she proved to me with her back that she was a woman like the wind, running like the wind.
“Pop!” Without warning, Ling Ruxue smashed something at me, and at the same time, she smashed something at Huigen.
I was hit in the face, and I couldn’t help but feel angry. Are you afraid that I will run faster than you and hit me? Ling Ruxue didn’t even turn her head and said, “Pick it up and rub it on your body. You need time to set up the formation, and we need more protection!”
The object on the ground was a bamboo tube. After hearing Ling Ruxue’s words, Hui Gen and I picked up the bamboo tube on the ground almost without thinking, and then without looking at what was in the bamboo tube, we poured it out and smeared it all over our bodies.
The stuff in the bamboo tube was soft and slippery, like mud, and it smelled weird when I touched it on my body. I lamented that I was probably not environmentally friendly because I took a bath every day, and then the heavens could not bear to watch any longer, deliberately making me dirty. A few days ago it was ‘corpse oil’, and these days it’s ‘mud’.
But at this time, Ling Ruxue, like a little ding-dong, took out a very strange-looking and relatively large whistle and put it in her mouth, then started to blow it.
During this process, Ling Ruxue held my arm, almost being led by me. I couldn’t help but sigh, because when she was playing, her eyes were closed, which made me think that the Miao people also had to think about the use of the gourd.
What I didn’t know was that this was actually the highest level of Miao gong, the control of the gong by thought, which was almost a legendary technique.
Next, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life. Behind me, no, surrounded by flashlights and firelight from all directions, unknown insects were flying out of the grass. I didn’t know what these insects looked like, but they definitely had a beautiful pair of wings, transparent, reflecting the firelight, and they even had colorful colors.
Because this scene was so beautiful, I almost pulled Ling Ruxue to run into a tree. Fortunately, she was pulled back in time by Ling Ruxue, who had just opened her eyes, and thus avoided this “tragedy.”
We were in a hurry and couldn’t afford to hit a tree.
“Why are you only applying the ointment to me and Huigen now?” Behind us, I heard a strange, mad laughter. I asked Ling Ruyue while laughing and running.
“The ointment evaporates too quickly, and it can only last for ten minutes at most. I can’t control a swarm of insects. My whistle can at most make them agitated and restless, and it’s already very exhausting to make each insect feel this emotion.” Ling Ruxue is worthy of being a woman like the wind. She answered me with such a long string of words, but she was calm and composed.
“So you mean that after ten minutes, we will start laughing like them?” I asked in shock.
“No, these bugs are just ordinary parasites. The only effect they have is to make people itch, and they can’t control themselves from laughing. You think I’m so capable that I can control a group of powerful parasites? Do you think there are no masters in this village who can break the parasites?” Ling Ruxue ran while not forgetting to give me a look.
As if to confirm her words, a mocking voice had already sounded behind her, shouting, “Trivial tricks! Everyone just bear with it for three minutes, and if you can’t stand it, just jump into the cold water and soak for a while, and you’ll be fine. Surround this forest with a perimeter, and I’ll see where they run to.”
I helplessly glanced at Ling Ruxue. Could the jinx be broken by cold water bubbles? Or by just enduring three minutes?
However, she was already very impressive, giving me precious time, and at this point, we had already run to the center of the formation.
This formation is even more sinister than the Hundred Ghosts Trapping Spirit Formation in the house. It is a standard Ten-Demon Formation, gathering the negative energy of ten directions into one, and even a man with full masculine energy cannot break it unless he stays far away from this great formation and has never come close to it.
In addition, if this formation is not broken by a master, it will continue to exist, and the evil and yin energy will continue to accumulate. The worst result is that this area will become a dead zone! Such formations carry great consequences, but they are extremely effective for defeating and even killing enemies.
After all, the ghosts in the so-called Hundred Ghost Array sound scary, but the thing about ghosts is that they are ultimately afraid of the yang energy of humans. As long as you don’t panic at the first opportunity, sometimes people with strong blood energy can unintentionally break out of the formation with their eyes closed, because the ghosts are always confined to a small area, and once you get out of that small area, you win.
But this is different with the Yin and Sha Qi formations. These Yin and Sha Qi are the source of curses. Even if you escape the formation, you will still be entangled in curses. Some people with weak blood will even immediately hallucinate.
I spent three whole days setting up this formation, including the night, but it wasn’t that simple to activate it. In addition to the special requirements for the magic weapon in the center of the formation, you also need to use your power and skills.
I am very grateful to Ling Ruxue for the time she won for me. I placed the cold jade in the center of the formation. This is yin jade, a deliberately cultivated magical weapon, and it is one of the most vicious magical weapons in Taoism.
Jade can gather magnetic fields, so the benefits of jade that gathers positive magnetic fields to people are self-evident, but the results of jade that also gathers negative magnetic fields are also very tragic.
Ancient jade should not be touched carelessly, for fear that it has gathered too much negative energy, forming a negative magnetic field.
This Yin jade was originally an ancient jade unearthed from a grave, and it was from the grave of a person who died unjustly. It was then cultivated using Taoist methods, and no matter how much it was worth to antique dealers, in the eyes of Taoists, it was the best magical weapon.
When the Yin jade entered the formation, I felt as if a cold wind had blown around me, chilling to the bone. Even I couldn’t help but shiver. This formation is too harmful. Is it not permitted by the heavens?
