Chapter 94: Secret Techniques and Containment

No matter what my chaotic thoughts were, I had no way out. The woman I loved and the younger brother I cherished were both by my side. I could not be so great as to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. I could not do it.

Is this the difference between a mortal and a sage? Maybe it is!

I am willing to use my life to remedy the consequences of my selfishness, but I cannot give up their lives now. I hope that Gao Ning is not a so-called villain, and that no matter how great his plans are, they are all for his own personal gain.

Thinking about this, I accidentally broke the cigarette in my hand. Gao Ning looked at me with a changeable expression and suddenly said, “Everyone says that immortals are good, but maybe I just want to be an immortal. Who is it that an immortal is in the way of? Don’t worry.”

“Haha.” I smiled indifferently, and suddenly realized that I had understood something. I finally understood Gao Ning a little.

But this feeling is ultimately uncomfortable. If you are a god, what about mortals like ants? Is it that one day you will have to ascend to heaven? Is everything I do today just helping the wicked with my hands covered in blood without knowing it?

At that moment, a pair of soft, warm hands grabbed my cold hands, which were filled with mixed emotions. Ling Ruoxue whispered in my ear, “Go back. I don’t care. If you regret it in the future, what’s the point of going back?”

I suddenly felt a little tear in my eyes, and I squeezed her hand tightly. I smiled and said to Ling Ruxue, “I won’t back down, no matter what the consequences are. Even if there is a huge cause and effect in the future, I will bear it.”

“I’ll be with you,” Ling Ruxue said, and her hand stayed in mine for a few seconds before she suddenly pulled it away.

This time, I didn’t want to hold her hand again. No matter what she was thinking, I always liked her. If I liked her, why would I do something she didn’t want to do?

A moment ago, I didn’t understand why I was so panicked and uneasy, and my emotions were suddenly in a panic. At this moment, I was exceptionally calm and transparent.

Gao Ning seemed to have sensed that I had overcome my emotional hesitation and suddenly blurted out to me, “The insect man is afraid of thunder and lightning, or rather, this kind of larva is afraid of thunder and lightning. I want you to destroy the insect man. As for the mother insect, you don’t need to worry about it! As for the old monster, we only need to contain him for a while. No matter what method is used!”

I was calm now, and looked at Gao Ning and asked, “Summon lightning? How do you know I can summon lightning? This kind of magic requires a high level of skill. What if I can’t do it? Besides, I can’t even condense my power right now.”

Gao Ning waved his hand in a somewhat chaotic manner and said, “Don’t ask me why I know. I have also forced myself to a dead end today. You don’t know what I have paid for this. What is the point of getting this little bit of information? As for your inability to condense your power, I have a way. Now, are you willing to try?”

I didn’t even bother to ask what the consequences would be. I touched Hui Gen’er’s round head and said, “You’ve been leading me by the nose all the way. You know that I can’t let these two people die, and you also know that Bu Zhou forced me to take Ling Ruxue with me. How could I refuse? Come on.”

Gao Ning touched his nose and said helplessly, “You, Bu Zhou, and Ling Ruxue are really unexpected and not in my calculations. It’s as if the heavens are helping me! In fact… I’m just an ordinary person, but don’t underestimate the persistence of ordinary people. They will give off a lot of light and heat.”

After saying this, Gao Ning’s expression was somewhat fierce, and his gaze was full of a kind of persistence that made people feel scared.Taoist priest

There are twelve strange bone needles stuck in my body right now. They are extremely hard, but hollow.

I don’t know what kind of animal bone it is, and I don’t know what the cold liquid in the hollow bone needle is.

I only know that every time a bone needle pierces my body, it hurts a little, much more than the needles used in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. I only know that after the bone needle is inserted, Gao Ning will fiddle with it a little, and I will feel a chill in the place where the bone needle is inserted, and then a stream of liquid will flow into the place where it is inserted.

The liquid was cold when it entered my body, but when it circulated through my body, it brought with it a burning sensation, a wave of burning. This burning sensation was not a physical sensation, but a psychological illusion.

I felt more and more excited, feeling powerful enough to kill a cow with one swing. I was full of pride and uncontrollable mania.

“This is an ancient stimulant that acts on the human soul, stimulating the soul! The side effect is that once the drug wears off, you will be extremely weak, not physically weak, but spiritually weak. You will need a lot of sleep every day, and it will take a full week to get better.” Gao Ning explained to me.

It was more like an explanation to the person next to me who was worried, so I stared at Ling Ruxue, who was cold, to explain.

When the twelve needles were finished, my whole body was trembling. Gao Ning took out a bag of light green powder and told me to swallow it: “Too much excitement will stimulate people to lose their reason. This bag of powder is good. It will calm the mind and focus the mind. After you swallow it, you won’t go crazy or become manic because of this stimulant.”

I swallowed the powder without hesitation. Because of the effect of the stimulant, I was already so manic that I couldn’t help but rush in to find the mother worm to fight one-on-one. I just needed this powder.

“Wait another quarter of an hour, and after you’ve completely absorbed it, we can go in,” said Gao Ning.

At this moment, Ling Ruxue suddenly raised her hand. I didn’t know what happened, but I heard Gao Ning angrily yell at Ling Ruxue, “What did you do to me?”

Ling Ruxue said, “You know too much, and you seem to be very powerful. But no matter how mysterious you are, I won’t let you lead Chen Chengyi’s nose so easily. I just shot an egg into your stomach, and at least it won’t affect you now. After we escape safely, I will give you an antidote. But if Chen Chengyi has any consequences other than what you said, even if you become a fairy, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will kill you. If I can’t, I’ll kill the next girl, and if she can’t, I’ll kill the next one. I hope you know.”

Ling Ruxue said these words with a calm expression, but the seriousness in her eyes made anyone dare not bet that she couldn’t do it.

Gao Ning let out a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly, “Ling Ruxue, it’s already like this, how dare you say you don’t like Chen Chengyi? Okay, I admit it, because I didn’t lie and I don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

Ling Ruxue ignored Gao Ning’s first sentence and said directly, “You must have practiced witchcraft, otherwise you wouldn’t have been so sensitive to the fact that I had just played a gourd egg into it.

“So what? Even the most powerful of the curses are a nuisance after being infected by the other party’s curse, especially the curse eggs. You never know what kind of curse it is or how to remove it until it has grown and manifested. But by the time it manifests, it’s a bit too late, isn’t it? Besides, I’m not a curse seed, I’m just a great witch.” After a sigh, Gao Ning patted my shoulder and said, “You’re more honest than she is, and she’s smarter than you are.”

I closed my eyes and couldn’t tell what I was feeling. The battle was imminent, and it would be ridiculous for me to be thinking about what was going on between Ling Ruxue and me.

Forget it, I just sat quietly, waiting for the secret technique to take effect.

My heart was getting hotter and hotter, as if the power had reached a peak, and my mind was not as agitated as before, but was extremely clear.

Gao Ning’s powder really had a great effect. Otherwise, I would have become a joke. I’m not the Monkey King, but I want to fight my way to the Southern Heavenly Gate!

How can this stimulant be so powerful?

In fact, I knew in my heart that this stimulant was not mysterious at all. Like any drug, it acts on the soul, but the difference is that this ancient stimulant has a greater stimulating effect and is less addictive.

But because it is rare and precious, it cannot be widely spread, nor can it save people who have sunk into the sea of drugs. When Gao Ning took it out, I did not resist because Taoism also has such pills, and one of them is lying in my backpack.

That was a trump card I didn’t want to play for the time being. I wanted to hold off Gao Ning, but I didn’t want to be beaten by Xue.
