I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 20 Swearing to God

Chen Qingyuan said: "Sister-in-law, this monster pretends to be an immortal to confuse people. The reason why these believers are still alive is because it has not yet reached the moment of self-realization! Brother He highly respects your cultivation. If it is inconvenient for you, please teach me how to kill the monster..."

He Ma was somewhat surprised by Chen Qingyuan's attitude, as if he and this demon fairy had an irreconcilable feud.

Although these words were said in a polite and gentle manner, there was a sharp murderous intent between the words. If I don't guide him well, I'm afraid...

She was silent for a moment, then picked up the straw man on the table and said, "I heard from Ah Dai's father that your soul is missing, so you can't practice?"

The straw man moved back and forth in her hands. She took a brush and dipped it in cinnabar ink and dotted it on the center of the straw man's brow and said, "Your situation is rare, because those with missing souls are basically dead. But since you have a request, I will naturally find a way. This is also the meaning of the existence of Wanying Palace..."

He's father has been with He's mother for half his life. Although he is not as good at cultivation as He's mother, the couple has a high degree of tacit understanding. Hearing this, he looked up and asked, "A-Dai's mother, do you want to take out that ancient book?"

He Ma touched the red mark on the corner of her left eye and hummed, "Go and get it. I remember there are two ways in ancient books that can help people who cannot practice to gain magical powers."

Dad He turned and left.

He Ma grabbed Chen Qingyuan's right wrist with lightning speed and asked sharply, "Why are you so determined to kill this demon fairy? I just said that killing will affect yourself and even your descendants. Didn't you hear me?"

Chen Qingyuan was a little surprised by He Ma's speed. Fortunately, her strength was not very strong. It was just that the position of her finger on the pulse was very particular. If he tried to struggle a little, his whole arm would become sore and weak...

He said, "I can't say anything high-sounding, nor am I acting against the moral principles. I just can't stand seeing ugly things. Whether it's a human, a demon, or a ghost, anyone who brings harm to all living beings must die! Sister-in-law may think I'm a little extreme, but among all living beings, there always needs to be a sharp knife to protect them, right?"

Having said that, isn't this still a high-sounding statement? He felt a little guilty and blushed.

He Ma slowly let go of Chen Qingyuan's wrist: "You...what makes you think you can be this sharp knife? You should know that being too hard will easily break, and your personality will easily make you suffer..."

She suddenly remembered that when she started practicing Taoism, she also dreamed of making achievements for all living beings, slaying demons and monsters, and maintaining peace in the world. Later, she was slapped in the face by reality and realized that being able to protect the one-third acre of land under her feet was already the limit. For all living beings, that might only a true immortal could do it.

“Ancient books are here.”

He's father came trotting over with a wooden plate as if serving food.

The serious atmosphere at the scene was completely destroyed.

Is your nickname Pangolin?
Chen Qingyuan resisted the urge to complain.

He Ma took the ancient book from the wooden plate and said, "If you want someone like you to have magical powers, there are two types in the book. The first is 'borrowing magic', and the second is 'substituting magic'!"

He's father appropriately acted as a supporting actor and asked, "What does it mean exactly?"

He's mother said, "The so-called borrowing method is literally what it means. It means to use one's own destiny, spirit, energy and spirit as a guide, borrow the method from the heaven and earth, borrow the method from the nine gods, and use other people's methods as one's own. In this way, one can have the conditions to cast a spell. However, this method is not very stable. Borrowing the method from heaven and earth requires the right time and place, and borrowing the method from the gods may not be possible..." He's father asked, "Then what about the substitute method?"

He Ma picked up a mobile phone power bank from the table and said, "The substitute method is to set up something outside the body of this person that can store magic power. It can be a person, a formation, or an object. As long as it is suitable, it will be fine! When casting a spell, you can directly take the magic power from these storage media. You can think of it as a mobile phone power bank. The disadvantage is that the magic power will be weakened if the distance is too far. If someone discovers the medium and destroys it, then the spell cannot be used, which is very dangerous at the critical moment..."

Chen Qingyuan asked, "Do you think it is possible to learn both the borrowing method and the substitution method? I borrow the method first, then store the method. The two do not conflict with each other. They are complementary solutions. If I don't have mana, I borrow it. If I have mana, I store it. Isn't it much safer?"

He Ma laughed immediately: "You have to pay back what you borrow. Whether you borrow from nature or from the gods, you will consume your own energy to repay. Borrowing is only a temporary and critical means. You have to lie down for ten days or half a month after using it. Although you are still young, how many times can your body bear the burden of borrowing before it can fill a medium?"

Seeing that Chen Qingyuan was a little embarrassed, she said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. The substitute is just a storage medium for you. You can still cultivate mana by yourself. You don't have to borrow everything. Do you understand?"

Chen Qingyuan knew that he was a little anxious, so he clasped his fists and said, "I am getting impatient."

He Ma said: "I can copy down both methods from the ancient books for you, and I can also give you the formula of a method of refining, but you have to swear in front of the statue of the Holy Mother of Shuntian that you will never use this method to do anything evil! Can you promise me, I will give them to you..."

Chen Qingyuan thought about it and said, "Yes!"

He did what he said. He knelt down on the mat and said to the statue of the Holy Mother of Shuntian: "Holy Mother of Shuntian, I, Chen Qingyuan, swear in front of the gods that the magic I learned from Ah Dai Mama in Wanying Palace today will never be used to do evil in this world. If I break this oath, I will let the gods deal with it!"

It sounded a little strange to He Ma, but there was nothing wrong with it.

She was also a straightforward person. She handed the ancient book to He's father and said, "Scan and copy the pages of the Borrowing Method and Substitute Method. I will write him a copy of the "Breathing and Breathing Method" here."

Chen Qingyuan's heart surged: "Are there any magic spells?"

He Ma said, "I can see that you are not willing to be ordinary, and you will not be ordinary in the future. Since you swore to be good before the gods, I made an exception and copied the three spells for you. You are also not willing to be confined to one place. If you want to really learn magic, you must worship in Wanying Palace and become a disciple of Wanying Palace. Do homework for three years, cultivate your mind, and finally decide what magic to teach you... Do you have the patience?"

three years?

Chen Qingyuan does have an idea, but can this task be delayed for three years?

As long as the demon fairy is not solved, Ke Zi, as a person under the curse, may die at any time. Although she is a character in the movie, Chen Qingyuan does not treat them as paper NPCs. There is no single standard for existence, and no one can set the standard for each other's existence.

Using Ke Zi's life as a bargaining chip to learn magic will only plant a thorn in his future.

He Ma guessed that Chen Qingyuan would definitely not stay, and smiled to change the subject: "Don't think too much. In this world, haste makes waste. Just these three methods are enough for you to play with for half a lifetime. I also practice the same method. I started practicing, doing meditation, and understanding the principles of the law since I was a teenager. I spent most of my time on it. After 28 years, I have barely achieved what I have today. But even so, I dare not say that I can fight that demon fairy alone..."
