Chapter 90: Secret Forces
If someone asks me what the most powerful part of the gourd seed is, I would tell them that it is definitely the hand. I still remember how the beautiful woman, Sister Liu, used her bamboo needles to mesmerize people.
After all, controlling the goblins with one’s mind is not something that everyone can do, so the only way to cast a spell is to practice your skills in your hands.
After spraying blood from my tongue onto the agarwood beads, I spat out a mouthful of blood and then, with a heavy heart, I tore off the bracelet. Unfortunately, this was the second time I had torn off the ancestor’s favorite.
I put a bead in Ling Ruxue’s hand and said to her, “How is your hand kung fu? Can you hit where you point?”
Ling Ruxue took the bead and looked at it carefully, saying, “If the distance is not too far, I can kill a fly with a bead like this.”
I looked at Ling Ruxue and wanted to ask her, “What is the relationship between your clan and the legendary Tang Sect of Sichuan?” They also use poison, hidden weapons, and the nature of the gu is similar, but it is not as magical as the gu.
But I knew that in this tense situation, it was not appropriate to talk nonsense. I pointed to the head of the first dog spirit that was imprisoned and said, “Hit there.”
Ling Ruxue held the bead between her two fingers and, in a very cool pose, threw it in the direction I pointed. The bead, with blood on the tip of her tongue, pierced the dog spirit’s head with pinpoint accuracy.
The canine spirit let out a miserable howl, and the blood-stained agarwood bead pierced through its head, darkening its entire body. They were not real fighting dogs, and they had no physical bodies, so naturally they did not have the weaknesses of physical bodies. Of course, such an attack, which did not hit the head, would not kill them.
But this effect has already shocked me. It seems that my agarwood beads are more harmful to the dog spirit than Hui Gen’er’s relics.
My soul was in a weak state, and if Xue was not someone with a strong yang energy, it would naturally be the best thing to be able to help Huigen from such a distance.
Ru Xue naturally heard the dog spirit’s wailing, and she suddenly understood. She smiled at me in surprise, and I was so proud that I was charmed again.
Hui Gen also noticed it and turned her head with a smile, sticking out her thumb at me and Ru Xue, winking her eyes and saying, “That’s great!”
This made me very happy, and I gave Hui Gen a thumbs-up and said to him, “Little round egg, you’re great too!”
With the help of Ru Xue and me, the imprisoned dog spirits were all hit by the agarwood beads. Although they were not dispersed, they were weakened and unable to struggle, which was indeed easily done.
With this kind of cooperation, Huigen easily destroyed the four unbound dog spirits and scattered two more. The whole process took less than five minutes.
It was only because we had a monster-like master with endless magical weapons that we were able to destroy the dog spirits so easily.
I didn’t let Huigen kill the remaining three dog spirits. There were still pursuers behind us, so we had to create some trouble for them and buy ourselves some time.
I asked Huigen, “How long can your restraint hold?”
Huigen replied in a mumble, “Five or six minutes.” Then the Dharma image behind him dimmed and quickly disappeared, and the little guy fainted all of a sudden.
I hugged Hui Gen, knowing that this was a sign of exhaustion. It seemed that this Vajra Dharma Form was not something Hui Gen could control, otherwise he would not have been so weak after summoning it.
Ru Xue helped me put away the agarwood beads, which I stuffed into my bag. I found that the blood on the tip of the agarwood beads had long since lost its vitality and yang energy, and even the spiritual essence that had been nurtured by the beads for years was a little less.
These dog spirits are really filthy.
The sound of the pursuers’ footsteps was getting closer, but there was nothing to worry about. The three remaining dog spirits were enough to give them a drink. Since we fled, we have finally secured the most favorable situation for us.
We continued to run with Huigen on our backs, and after only two minutes, we had already reached the altar where Gao Ning had brought me once before.
I didn’t think the Miao people would let me go easily, and it turned out that they didn’t. At this time, there were no fewer than five people standing in the small hall with the altar.
I have a good memory and have spent a lot of time in this Miao village. I have a good impression of everyone I have met, and these five people were really unfamiliar to me.
They were not the old monsters. On the contrary, they were young and strong, dressed in strange Miao clothes that looked like standard uniforms, and they were just standing in the small hall waiting for us.
We stopped, and Gao Ning whispered to me, “Those old monsters won’t come out for a few months, so all you’ve seen so far is just the surface of the Boqie Da Wushi. These people are the elite of the village, the secret forces that guard the old monsters. They don’t come down to live on the ground at all. This time they sent five of them to catch you, they really think highly of you.”
The secret army that guards the old monsters? I glared at Gao Ning again. I swear I heard this news for the first time. How come Gao Ning didn’t tell me before? I barged in without knowing anything.
Gao Ning shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice, “This secret unit is only responsible for those old monsters. I didn’t think they would be mobilized. You have to be careful. Although witchcraft requires talent and not everyone can learn it, but the art of poisoning… these elite troops all have a strong art of poisoning.
My power has not yet recovered, and even if it has, if I use Taoism to fight these germinants, it will only be a lose-lose situation, which means that I will be infected with the germinants and I will also curse them.
I touched my bag and found a purple talisman inside. It was a talisman left to me by my master. This talisman is an offensive talisman, and it seals a ghost general. I only need a little power and to activate the spell to use this talisman, but do I want to use it here?
You know, I’m very afraid of everything in the insect room. Gao Ning said that we would be safe in the insect room because the Miao people wouldn’t dare to follow us! But in fact, I think everything in the insect room is really scary…
The bug people sealed in the cocoons, the strange female bugs, and the man who the female bugs are sleeping with, how can they be safe?
Just as I was hesitating, the only Hmong man among the five, who was wearing a turban, spoke up: “Do you want to come with us peacefully, or do you want us to beat you half to death and drag you along?”
I was a little confused. The five men were all wearing the same clothes, and at first glance, I didn’t know who was who. Fortunately, it was the man in the turban who spoke this time. If it had been someone else, I wouldn’t have known who was talking.
As soon as the man in the turban finished speaking, one of the other four spoke up: “That’s fine. Take him to the insect room. Our god can’t wait any longer.” I knew that this was me they were talking about.
Before I could say anything, another voice said, “Who is he?”
This must be a question for Goning, who was dressed as the great witch of the Boqe tribe, with a face painted with totems and a head covering that hid half of his face.
They were all talking at once, without any time in between, which was really annoying. I was furious: “Can’t you let one person finish a few sentences without being scolded for not talking for a lifetime?”
Gao Ning said to me, “You guessed it right. They have been secretly trained underground since they were ten years old. They eat, drink, live and sleep differently from ordinary Miao people on the surface. They can only live on the surface for one month a year. Under the ground, they rarely speak for fear of disturbing the insects. Don’t look at them like this, they look very mature, but in fact, none of these people are over 25 years old. Anyone over 25 is not qualified to stay in the secret army.”
Secret army? What is this Black Rock Miao village up to?
While Gao Ning and I were talking nonsense here, one person didn’t want to talk any nonsense anymore. She just said, “Do you use a demon?” Then she flipped her hand, and a strange bug with wings appeared in her hand.
It was Ru Xue. In the face of these people using the gu, she naturally took action.
“Flying Gu? This first-generation Gu ancestor is probably a Gu from fifty years ago, and you actually have this!” The leader, the man with the turban, changed his expression and explained in a long-winded manner.
I almost laughed. If they weren’t my enemies, they would be cute in a way. Unfortunately, our relationship is a sharp contradiction, so I can only use a ruthless approach.
Facing the enemy’s babbling, Ling Ruxue was cool, not saying a word. The next moment, a strange-shaped leaf was in her mouth, and she began to play it. As the rhythm sounded, the so-called flying bug suddenly flew out, moving so fast that it was unbelievable, like a black lightning bolt.
I thought to myself in annoyance, next time, next time I must ask clearly where these goblins have hidden so many things.
At this time, I could easily think like this, but the five people were not necessarily relaxed. I didn’t understand the flying gourd, the so-called ancestor of the gourd, but it sounded very powerful after fifty years. In fact, the movements of the flying gourd were indeed as fast as lightning and unpredictable.
I opened my eyes wide, wanting to take a look, afraid of missing a single detail. This was the first time I had seen a real duel between gus. In fact, it did not disappoint me. The duel between gus was truly wonderful and thrilling.
Xue, this woman who has always been cold, also showed me the true power of the only female in the village.
