Chapter 60: Eradication

Since I was a child, I have always been confident in my running speed. Even though I don’t know how to use the so-called “light skills,” I have always had a basic foundation in “light body skills” (which are fundamentally different from “light skills”) thanks to my master’s intentional or unintentional training.

In addition, I often had to run up and down the mountains to avoid my master’s iron fists, so I was extremely fast!

However, now I hear the wind whistling in my ears, and I feel that my speed is so slow. Especially when I have to worry about my companions, I can’t go any faster.

In fact, I was just thinking too much in a hurry!

The reality is, what good is it if I run faster? Even if I regain the martial arts skills of the past, such as crossing the river on a single reed or leaving no trace in the snow, I, as a human being, cannot possibly outrun a hawk, which is a bird that flies in the sky.

I endured the feeling of oxygen deprivation in my lungs as I ran quickly, and when I reached the foot of the mountain, I shouted, “I won’t ask you why, just tell me how to solve it!”

Lu Shan said to me with a displeased look on his face as he ran: “This hawk has been possessed by a high priest from the temple. It may not be able to harm us, but it will continue to interfere with our spirits, just like it did just now. And the worst thing is that our actions will always be under its surveillance. It’s a curse.” Because he was talking too fast, Lu Shan panted heavily as he ran, and couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

But I was not surprised after hearing this. Instead, I was in a state of confusion. How could I have encountered such a magical technique?

Once, my master asked me to study the hand signs of Tantra. He said that understanding some of the hand signs of Tantra would improve my understanding and use of Taoist hand signs.

Since we were talking about Tantra, my master also mentioned Tibetan Buddhism, as well as some interesting anecdotes and magic here. One of the magic masters my master mentioned in particular was that monks with powerful spiritual powers could possess living creatures here, turning them into their eyes and even their weapons of attack!

“Tibetan monks are better than us at working with living things, even far better than us Taoists. The source of this is their respect and reverence for life, far greater than that of us Han people! You know, in Tibet, some places don’t eat fish, some places don’t eat hoofed animals, creatures with claws, and some places don’t eat birds in the sky. This is a kind of awe and respect, so the spiritual practice of attaching spirits to living things is far higher than ours, and I wouldn’t be surprised.

At that time, I was obsessed with a book on Western magic that my master had collected. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, and I just said, “That’s great. Don’t we have druids in China? That’s the race that communicates with nature.”

At the time, it was just a casual joke, but now that I have encountered it, I realize how powerful it is. Without any defense, all of us, who are known as the young masters of the younger generation, have been hit by it. What kind of power is this? And the variety of living creatures is so great that it is simply impossible to defend against this kind of magic!

Thinking about this, I was not only confused, but my scalp also felt numb. I couldn’t help but say to Lushan, “Don’t introduce this stuff anymore. Tell me the solution. The solution!”

“To put it simply, to break this spell, there is only one thing to do: use spiritual power to break spiritual power! That is to use absolutely powerful spiritual power to eliminate the spiritual power attached to the eagle.” Lu Shan said breathlessly.

But that’s like saying nothing. If the possessed creature was a pig or something, less than 50 meters away from us, it would be absolutely easy to use spiritual power to wipe out the spiritual power attached to it.

But the problem is, the eagle is in the sky, so what method do I use? Do I have to fly up there too? Although spiritual power is an invisible force, it is much more restricted than soul power. Soul is an intangible thing, while spiritual power is a force that is attached to the human body and has specific restrictions. Just like a vegetative person, he has no spiritual power, but if he still has a soul in his body, you can’t say that he has no soul power!

“Can you use spiritual power to strangle it?” I asked loudly.

“Of course, if your soul power can kill the eagle, the spirit power attached to it will naturally dissipate.” Lushan said loudly to me.

If that’s the case, there’s not completely no way. Silly Tiger can go to heaven and earth, and I can completely let Silly Tiger do this.

Thinking about this, I felt a little relieved. Lushan seemed to have read my thoughts and said, “You need to concentrate and calm yourself to summon Shatuo, and you also need to cast spells. Can you resist the interference of that thing?”

I didn’t know the answer to this question, so I stopped. With my guard up, the hawk couldn’t affect my thoughts like it had just now, but as soon as I tried to enter the state of meditation, the hawk’s screeching would reverberate throughout my entire mind, and there was no way I could succeed!

That’s amazing! I let out a long sigh. Just by attaching a little spiritual power to this hawk, it can affect us to such an extent. If that monk really appears in front of us, won’t we be completely helpless?

Therefore, the further I go, the more I experience, the more I realize that I am like a frog at the bottom of a well, knowing too little!

But obviously, this is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves, but to solve the problem!

For example, now I stopped, everyone stopped, and the eagle also stopped, hovering over us. Even if Lushan didn’t say it, I knew that if we didn’t solve it quickly, the main character would be here. Otherwise, why would they be spying on us? The situation is critical!

Cold sweat was dripping down my forehead. If I couldn’t enter the state of meditation, I would be a “disabled” person. I couldn’t use any magic spells except for relying on talismans. What should I do?

The others didn’t know what was going on, looking at each other. At this time, Chengxin, who was running next to us and probably heard our conversation, suddenly came over and said to everyone in a strange tone, “A little eagle? I’ll try.”

With a gentle and charming tone, a little frivolous and contemptuous, and a little hawk? I couldn’t help but look at Chengxin Ge. Was he disgusted with me for not sweating enough? He spoke in such a tone, but when I looked at him, Chengxin Ge’s eyes were faintly green!

This is not Brother Chengxin, it’s a young fox! This guy is out again, as if he is used to it, always appearing when we and his master, Brother Chengxin, are not prepared.

Combined with the situation at the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts, I could clearly sense a certain character trait of this young fox, which was unusually competitive.

However, since it has appeared, this eagle should not be a problem!

However, I couldn’t help but look at Cheng Xin Ge with pity. At the moment, he was elegantly using the nail clipper on the key to trim his nails, with his little finger slightly raised… It was elegant, but…

I decided not to tell him about the image of Chengxin Ge. I was afraid that after he sobered up, he would summon the tender fox and then strangle it!

“Is the little eagle very powerful? Look at you all in such a sorry state.” After fixing his nails, Brother Chengxin raised his hand to the sunlight and looked at his nails. At this moment, I felt that the air around Brother Chengxin had become a bit sticky. This is a manifestation of the spiritual power reaching a certain height, leaking out of the body, and materializing, just like looking at people in the water waves.

His eyes were even more emerald green, and his black eyes had reached an indescribably crystal-clear level, which was very strange.

It seemed that he was casually doing his nails, but in fact, the young fox was secretly preparing to gather his spiritual power to the limit!

Time seemed to have stopped at that moment. Chengxin looked at his fingers in the sunlight, but he only paused for two seconds. Then, the hand in the sunlight suddenly clenched into a fist, and then quickly withdrew. At this time, Chengxin finally exploded.

His eyes were fixed on the eagle, his hands in his pockets, his whole body swaying, and a devilish smile on his lips, making him look charming and seductive.

At that moment, the hawk in the sky was clearly not right, repeatedly flying up and down in a space, unable to move left or right, looking like it was trapped.

Seeing Chengxin’s relaxed expression, this time the battle was not too much of a burden for him. He didn’t even show his fox ears and tail, but in fact I knew that among the thousands of ways to fight, the battle between spiritual powers was the most dangerous. If you weren’t careful, you would become a complete fool. Without spiritual power, the soul in your soul would also be harmed and even dispersed.

But it happens to be so calm when it is not condensing illusions…

Time passed by in a flash, and Chengxin’s expression remained the same, making Xiao Daishao a little irritated. He kept saying in my ear, “How long is this Su Chengxin going to pretend to be a devilish and crazy man?”

I waited in silence. After about five or six minutes, the eagle suddenly let out a mournful cry, then fell rapidly, struggled a few times, and then flew back into the sky, flying off into the distance…

“This…?” I was a little slow to react.

Lushan, however, waved his clenched fist and said, “Chengxin succeeded!”

Did he succeed? I turned to look at Chengxin, who was now frowning and muttering to himself, “What is this Su Chengxin doing? He doesn’t have a single mirror on his body.”

I shuddered and vowed again that I would never tell him what he looked like now.

But Lushan suddenly seemed to have come to his senses and shouted, “Hurry, run again! This is a big deal. While we are temporarily safe, let’s run!”
