Chapter 27: The Unexpected “Fierce God

I don’t know how long it took, but I was so scared that I actually felt a little sleepy. Even the bench under my butt was getting warm. I also saw red dots occasionally popping up in the yard, followed by a burst of smoke. The people who were crouching and waiting around couldn’t stand the boredom anymore and started smoking to relieve their fatigue.

In one corner of the courtyard, the old man Huijue was sitting like a mountain. I don’t know if he was in someone’s house or in a trance. I maliciously speculated that he was sleeping.

As for my master, he was at the half-open gate, ready to break in and start the ritual, but who knows if the old man was asleep against the wall? He usually likes to take a nap against the wall. The Bamboo Grove has no wall, so he just leaned against a corner. When you look at it, it looks like a broken sack is placed there.

I looked up at the moon, which was appearing and disappearing in the sky, and I didn’t know whether I was hoping for the night to pass quickly or hoping for something exciting to happen. It was too exciting to bear, but if it passed, it didn’t mean that I would have to bear the torture tomorrow.

Maybe it was the cold night air, but I felt my feet getting cold. I stamped my feet and looked around again, relieved that nothing strange had gotten wrapped around my feet!

But just then, the old man suddenly burst in, slammed the door behind him, looked around with a very serious expression, and shouted, “Let’s begin!”

I was stunned and didn’t react in time. Buckets of potion with a unique fragrance were poured over my head!

Then I saw the old man light three incense sticks in a unique way, insert them into the small incense burner, stand in a special way, and start chanting.

Then, Huijue’s voice began to enter my ears with a unique tone.

But in the face of all this, I was stunned and did not react. At this time, Hu Xueman suddenly stood up and shouted, “Sanwa, have you forgotten what your master told you?”

I was about to answer when suddenly my right leg began to hurt and feel cold. I looked down and saw a strange red bug wrapped around my leg. It was emitting wisps of smoke.

It’s here, it’s here like this?

I didn’t have time to think about anything, let alone take a good look at the bug. I kicked the stool away with my foot and used the sharp knife I had been holding in my right hand to cut my left middle finger.

It hurt! I gasped in surprise. I was so nervous that I cut myself too deeply, and a large amount of bright red blood gushed out of the deep cut!

But I didn’t have time to think about that. The worm was moving very fast and had already wrapped itself around my waist. But I still had a lot to do.

I heard people shouting around me, “That bug is too powerful. Pour more of the potion over it.”

I also heard people shouting, “Wait 10 seconds. If Sanwa can’t hold on, rush over and don’t worry about disrupting the formation’s energy field.”

Pots and buckets of potion continued to be thrown at me, but I couldn’t just sit there and wait to die. If I couldn’t finish this, would my master still respect me?

I clenched my bleeding left hand to prevent the blood from being washed away by the potion, then glared at the bug. In that moment, I was already silently reciting a mantra that focused my mind, aura, and power in my head!

Then, I held back a breath and shouted at the bug, “How dare you!

After the shout, combined with the potion, the movements of the insect were slightly stalled. I grabbed the insect with my right hand and then twisted it around at a strange angle. This is a special technique that can concentrate most of the body’s strength on the wrist and lock the insect.

The first touch was a bone-chilling coldness. Holding the worm, which was neither slimy nor slippery, I felt a wave of irritability in my heart, as if many negative emotions were rushing towards me.

“Calm down, clear your mind.” I forced myself to calm down, then loudly recited the mantra for calming the mind, quickly squatted down, and then used the blood from my left hand to apply a layer of the pre-drawn rune pattern. I couldn’t be distracted during this process, even if the master had already drawn the rune pattern in advance, I just applied a layer of it like a gourd. If I was distracted during this process, it would be the same as the qi field being disrupted.

In fact, the action of squatting is very dangerous. I inadvertently drew closer to the worm, and the power of the worm seemed to be a strange force, very huge. I doubted that I could not hold on for more than 5 seconds.

At this point, something even more terrifying happened. I could only hold onto a small part of the bug, and I desperately tried to prevent it from crawling onto my face. But the part of the bug that I wasn’t holding onto began to thin out. I caught a glimpse of a very strange bug face in the corner of my eye, slowly approaching me, slowly getting smaller and smaller (because it was thinning out), and getting closer and closer to my face.

I can’t describe that bug face because you can’t imagine that a bug has two bulges on its head, and then it has distinct facial features. The tiny eyes have a human-like look, which is a very scary thing.

And that roar just now cost me too much mental energy. Taoist roaring methods are very particular, and the effects achieved are also different. Anyway, it requires a deep foundation of skill. I, as a rookie, would laugh at others’ teeth when I talk about skill!

So my mind was dizzy, and at this time I had to hold my breath and concentrate all my energy on the runes, not being distracted.

It is a state of mind, a state of mind where you can ignore the flames of hell. I must keep my mind empty.

The eye of the formation must be guided by the blood of my yang-filled middle finger. The symbol drawn by the master is the eye of the formation. Once my blood has successfully smeared the symbol, the formation will be activated.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my face. I could feel my nose starting to itch. I felt the worm in my hand getting smaller and smaller, as if it was slowly and laboriously wriggling, but I couldn’t afford to be distracted.

I felt it was about to burrow into the depths of my nose, but the rune pattern still needed to be completed!

At this moment, the old man’s chanting suddenly became loud and clear, as if it were exploding in my ears.

The bug stopped moving, as if it was under extreme pressure. Its whole body was trembling slightly, but the pressure was also slightly felt by me, and my body was also trembling slightly.

There was still a little bit left. Finally!

I almost used all my strength to draw the rune to the end. At this moment, a burst of heat seemed to come from the bottom of my heart and explode inside my body. I knew the formation had begun to work.

I was not bad either, and I shouted out, “Only by keeping your mind clear can you remain calm as a mountain!”

This is the only motivation I had just now, to be clear-minded and unmoving like a mountain!

At this time, the sound of Huijue chanting the scriptures gradually faded, and a figure rushed towards me, pulling out the bug in my nose in one go. I didn’t have time to feel sick, because I saw clearly that the figure rushing towards me was the same 18-year-old boy who had been so excited to see my master.

The feeling of heat in my heart grew stronger and stronger. I grabbed the boy and ran out of the formation. Only then did I realize that the worm had actually wrapped itself around the boy’s head, which was raised high in the air, as if it was about to burrow into the boy’s mouth.

The boy was making hand gestures and muttering in his mouth, but it wasn’t a hand gesture, it was a special way to release his power. But the bug gave him a chance, and the head forced its way into the boy’s mouth!

“Get out of here, you son of a bitch!” I yelled, grabbed the bug, and the dozen people Hu Xueman had brought rushed over. The scene was very chaotic. I turned and glanced at the master. His expression was neither happy nor sad, and he was still chanting. With each spell, his feet rhythmically disappeared into the ground, and a strange hand seal was also pressed in his hand!

The peach wood sword, the talisman, my eyes were dazzled, I only felt that all the attacks were aimed at the bug. Originally, this was a group of Taoist priests, but I don’t know how powerful they were!

Some even spat out blood from their tongues!

I held the worm’s hand tightly and dared not let go. Although many hands had already grabbed it, it was impossible to suppress it!

This shouldn’t be the case. This is definitely not the case. How could a bug that has only eaten one cow be so powerful?

The resounding voice of Huijue sounded again, but now who can tell me what the hell is going on?
