There is a trick

Chapter 119: Witchcraft and Sorcery (1/2)

The black water is like a mirror, reflecting all kinds of situations.

A dilapidated house appeared in the "mirror", and a figure was walking around in the yard, rummaging through the furnishings in the yard.

When Zhou Chang saw the familiar house, he suddenly realized, "Did he run to my house?

What does he want to do?

Uncle Yang next to them didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the figure with his back to them.

Just from the back, the man gave Uncle Yang an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He pondered for a long time, glanced at Zhou Chang next to him, and suddenly he understood.

——The reason why that person’s back seemed familiar to him was because the back of that person reflected in the mirror was almost exactly the same as Achang’s back!
"You are looking for him, and he is looking for you."

Yang Rui's eyes flashed.

At this moment, it was roughly confirmed that the figure in the mirror was the 'owner' of the raw lacquer in the gourd.

"Uncle Yang, look - this man has one arm hanging down by his side. Although the palm of his hand outside his sleeve looks intact, he never uses this hand to do anything, whether picking up or carrying things or rummaging through various objects.

Ordinary people usually use both hands at the same time, so his action is very unreasonable.

His arm, which always hangs down, looks like he is disabled." Zhou Chang looked at the figure in the mirror and suddenly said this.

After hearing what Zhou Chang said, Yang Rui still didn't quite understand what he meant.

The old man looked at Zhou Chang in confusion, and then heard Zhou Chang say: "The lacquer imprisoned in the gourd has also turned into the shape of a palm before - if that lacquer is actually the ghost shadow of the ghost fairy in the mirror, then this so-called ghost shadow may be closely connected with itself.

Now we have imprisoned a part of his shadow, and he himself may be incomplete because of it.

My hands have become less flexible.

Of course, this is just my simple speculation and may not be the real situation. "

"You call this simple speculation?
A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the whole picture, and this is probably the case.

Someone as smart as you should talk less in the future - it’s easy for others to think you are too smart, and then become jealous of you and secretly harm you.

"Too much wisdom will lead to harm" is not an empty saying. Yang Rui praised Zhou Chang for a few words and warned him.

The old man turned to look in the mirror, his eyes following the back of the 'raw lacquer master' as he entered the main room and watched the other party rummaging through the wardrobe in the main room and finding several of Zhou Chang's clothes.

Zhou Chang and Zhou Chang, although there is only one character difference, the meanings are completely different.

The Zhou Chang of the past has long been dead.

The corpse that his body transformed into has now merged with the lotus body that Zhou Chang resided in.

Zhou Chang looked at the man holding a few Zhou Chang clothes that he had never worn and sitting on the edge of the bed, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.

In the mirror, the person sitting on the edge of the bed showed his profile slightly.

Yang Rui looked at Zhou Chang again, and compared his profile with the paper mannequin in the mirror, and came to the conclusion that the two men's faces looked extremely similar, so similar that Yang Rui was shocked!
How could there be two people so similar?
They are so 'similar' that it cannot be described simply as 'similar'. The two of them are more like they were poured from the same mold!
"He is going to use these pieces of clothes to perform the nightmare method..." Yang Rui watched the person in the mirror pick out a piece of Zhou Chang's clothes, spread it out on the bed, and wrote words such as "heart", "liver", "spleen", and "stomach" on various positions on the chest and abdomen of the clothes.

Even some bones and blood vessels were drawn around those 'internal organs', and Yang Rui immediately understood.

The old man's expression became nervous, and he said to Zhou Chang: "From the way this man performs, his method of suppressing nightmares seems to be very sophisticated, and he can even point to a person's internal organs, or even various parts of flesh and blood.

We can't stay here any longer, we have to go and catch him.

Otherwise, he might succeed in casting the spell, which would be disadvantageous to you!"

Zhou Chang heard this, but shook his head: "Let's see."

He is full of evil energy, and even his blood vessels are flowing with karmic fire and evil energy. He is a person with heavy karma.

The usual methods of cursing and suppressing nightmares were ineffective against him.

What's more, the other party was using Zhou Chang's clothes, but now Zhou Chang, both in reality and emotionally, has completely turned into Zhou Chang himself - that man was haunting Zhou Chang, and even if all the curses fell on the evil spirit, what could it do to the evil spirit?

"It's such a critical moment, what are you still looking at..." Yang Rui muttered a few words. Seeing that Zhou Chang insisted, he didn't say anything more and turned his gaze to the picture in the basin.

The man standing beside the bed took out a black jar that was less than the size of a palm and placed it next to Zhou Chang's clothes, on which he had outlined the positions of his flesh, internal organs and bones with a red pen.

He then brought out a package of something wrapped in oil paper. After peeling off the oil paper, a bright red towel was revealed inside.

Zhou Chang took a closer look and saw that the towel was clearly stained with the blood of some animal and turned into such a bright red color.

The man in the "mirror" pinched the two ends of the wet towel and twisted it hard. Suddenly a stream of blood flowed out of the towel. He twisted the towel so that the blood flowed around Zhou Chang's internal organs.

After being splashed with plasma, the man took a row of incense sticks from the shrine opposite the door in the main hall of Zhou Chang's house, took out a stick, inserted it on the collar of his clothes, and lit it with fire.

After doing all these steps, the man stood by the bed, motionless. The dark water mirror could only show the various situations of the people who were colluding with the evil spirit on the other side, but could not transmit the sounds and movements on the other side.

So Zhou Chang and Yang Rui saw the man's lips moving, but they could not hear what incantation he was chanting. They only saw that after he chanted the incantation, a centipede with a bright red back that looked like it was painted with vermilion lacquer, with a pair of venomous fangs bared, slowly swam out of the black jar next to Zhou Chang's clothes!
The red-backed centipede coiled and swam around the incense stick.

The incense stick burned faster, and the billowing green smoke rising from the incense tip was inhaled into the nostrils of the person standing motionless beside the bed.

As the incense stick burned out, two colorful rays of light emanated from the man's nostrils!

The two feasting thoughts merged into one and were swallowed by the red-backed centipede, which stood up its upper body like a cobra!
The movements of the red-backed centipede suddenly became rapid. It followed the blood vessels, muscles and bones drawn on the clothes, and went deep into the "internal organs". After swimming around the internal organs, it swam out along the "valley" drawn on the clothes by the man.

At this time, only the head of the red-backed centipede remained. The body below the head turned into a stream of red-colored food!
The centipede head attracted the smell and swam out of the dim hall.

Occasionally, there was a moment when the wall of the main room suddenly lit up, and reflected the shadow of a centipede as thick as a water tank, with claws all over its body!

In the main room, the man was still standing there, not moving at all, as if he had lost his soul!
……

"Do you feel like there's something wrong with you?"

Yang Rui withdrew his gaze and asked Zhou Chang with some concern.

Zhou Chang shook his head, stood up from the ground, and said, "Grandpa, we can leave now."

"This man's methods are evil and treacherous. The method he used on you doesn't seem like a nightmare spell, but more like black magic or witchcraft. It seems that he got into the corpse of the Miao girl halfway. He is very likely using the corpse to practice magic. He is originally from Xiangxi!
I, your great grandfather, don't know much about witchcraft!

Even though you look fine now, I don’t know whether you will be fine later or not! " Yang Rui also stood up and warned Zhou Chang repeatedly.

“We cannot predict whether something will happen or not.

It's just like fighting the enemy with our troops and covering the water with earth." Zhou Chang replied to Yang Rui. He was about to say something else when he suddenly felt touched.

——A chilly breath, concealed by the cold wind, rushed over his body.

Although the breath was extremely thin and almost undetectable, thanks to Zhou Chang's strong soul, he was able to sense the breath invading his body at the first moment.

A chill aura like a small insect began to emerge in his abdomen.

He was currently unable to observe the situation inside his body, and based on his senses, the moment he felt a cold air rising from his abdomen, his karma was immediately stimulated. The evil karma flowed through his blood vessels, bursting out with a strong fiery and dry nature!
This evil energy surrounded the cold and gloomy breath in his abdomen, and the cold and gloomy breath immediately swirled around, trying to retreat out of Zhou Chang's body!

Zhou Chang's heart moved——

He suddenly gathered some of the evil energy in his body and deliberately left a passage for the cold and gloomy aura.

He could feel the cold breath flowing along the passage, passing through his chest and abdomen, passing over his neck, and approaching his forehead.

Zhou Chang suddenly understood.

"That poisonous insect with the same fate as mine is after my soul."

"At that time, a feasting thought flowed out of his nostrils, and it merged with the centipede. At the moment, it seems that he used part of his own consciousness and soul to merge with the centipede poisonous insect and used this black magic on my soul."

There were too few clues at the moment, so Zhou Chang could only make some guesses.

He looked at the person in the basin who was still motionless, which showed that part of the person's soul might not be inside the body.

"Grandpa, among the subjects you taught me, is there any method to protect the soul and counterattack the enemy?" Zhou Chang is no longer afraid of the other party's nightmare to suppress his flesh shell. Instead, he wants to learn a few skills to protect his soul in case of accidents.

"You have already cultivated your spiritual consciousness, how can ordinary means harm your soul?" Yang Rui glanced at Zhou Chang, thought for a moment, and then said, "There is a small magic called "Fetal Light Clothes".

This method can not only protect the soul, but also counterattack the enemy.

Now that you are a Taoist priest, it is not difficult for you to learn this little trick.

Chant the mantra with me: Tai Guang Tai Guang, pure yang Tian Gang, the root of life, the beginning of life...

Now I am in trouble, and my fetal light is being refined a hundred times..."

This little trick of "Fetal Light Clothes" is to weave the little fetal light left in the human body with spells to form a piece of armor for the soul.

Zhou Chang followed Yang Rui and recited the spell again, but he did not notice any difference in himself.

But Yang Rui took out a bronze mirror and asked him to look into his eyes.

Then, Zhou Chang suddenly saw golden scales appearing like wheels around the pupils of his eyes, and then suddenly disappeared.

"This is the sign of the successful creation of the 'Fetal Light Clothes'!" Yang Rui affirmed, "I have long discovered that your 'Fetal Light' is still stored in your soul, and it is as powerful as a newborn baby!
Therefore, the 'Fetal Light Clothes' refined into the quality of golden scale armor.

Now that you have this person to protect you, whoever tries to hurt your soul will end up losing more than he gains!"
