Grudge Breaker

Chapter 303 Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind
Mo Tingfeng didn't seem surprised by Shu Tinglong's words.

It should be said that if this evil doll paper was really written by Shu Tinglong, he would be surprised.

The question now is, who is using the name of Shu Taki to convey information, what is their intention, and are they an enemy or a friend?
……

Mo Tingfeng was in deep thought, his expression gloomy and unreadable. Seeing him like this, Shu Tinglong seemed to lose his temper and took the initiative to speak.

"I did hide it from you, sir, and used my connections to investigate something."

Shu Tinglong took a piece of letter paper on his own initiative.
"Does your Excellency still remember this rune?"

"The section of the Heart-Confusing Harp that you cut off looks quite like something from another world. It is possible that it is related to the Ghost King and the Death Curse. So I drew it based on my impression after I came back, and I have asked someone to check it out."

"Shu always remembered the deal with you, sir. I was eager to find a way to break the curse of the mask, so I didn't discuss it with you in advance. I hope you can forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

The rune on Duan Qinqin's body was the same as the one on Ma Zhenchun's chest, Du Juan's ankle, and the one in the ghost market illusion at that time. Mo Tingfeng, who had turned into gray, also recognized it, but he did not tell Shu Tinglong this extra information.

He was only surprised at a fleeting glance that Shu Xinglong could actually keenly perceive the existence of this symbol and even draw it almost accurately based on his memory.

This person... is unfathomable.
.
Song Weichen was surprised to see the rune drawn by Shu Tinglong. Isn't this the symbol on Ruan Mianmian's blood scarf? How did he know? Why did he say that there was also this symbol in the Heart-Confusing Harp? What's going on?

Although Mo Tingfeng had briefly recounted what happened after she fell unconscious on the flying chariot, it was impossible for him to explain the specific details so clearly, so she was full of surprise at the moment.

"This isn't, this isn't...?"

"Hey, what kind of rune is this? Isn't this a big-bellied frog...so ugly..."

Song Weichen changed his words in time and suppressed the doubts that were about to burst out.

Obviously, neither Mo Tingfeng nor Shu Tinglong were unfamiliar with the symbol found in Ruan Mianmian's room, and there must be a reason why Mo Tingfeng did not take the initiative to mention the discovery in Ruan Mansion to Shu Tinglong.

She shouldn't have mentioned that.

This is Song Weichen's professional ethics as the "White Robe Venerable".

……

"Weiwei, look at this rune."

Shu Tinglong took the letter and moved closer.

Although Song Weichen was wearing a white robe with a blindfold set up by Mo Tingfeng, from Shu Tinglong's eyes, she was a genuine handsome young man.

But everything had been exposed because of the previous incident of the death curse. Mo Tingfeng's words "You already knew that Weiwei, Sang Pu, and the new White Robe Honored One were the same person" were still fresh in his mind. With only the three of them present, Shu Tinglong had no reason to pretend anymore and naturally called them by their real names.

He spread the talisman on the table and pointed at it and explained it to her in detail.

"Although all the spells from the outside world have different shapes, most of them have one thing in common - from left to right, there will be four needle-like lines piercing the body of the spell, which means to borrow the power of water, fire, earth and wind to suppress the enemy. The longest line represents the power of the caster, which is also the core power of setting up this spell."

"The second vertical line from the left of this spell is the longest, running through the inside of the spell, which means that the caster uses 'fire' magic power."

"Boss Shu, you know so much!"

Song Weichen praised sincerely.

Ever since she came to the dream world, her knowledge of metaphysics has been increasing day by day. If she continues like this, she will become a goddess within a hundred years.

"Water, fire, earth, and wind."

She clicked on the four vertical lines on the talisman in order and muttered to herself, remembering that she had learned Tarot cards for fun before, and that they also used the four elements of "water, fire, earth and wind". So this foreign land also practices Western "witchcraft"?
"Speaking of which, don't the warlocks in our Mei Realm, whether they are top-ranked or bottom-ranked, all use the power of the five elements, 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth'? Why do I feel that the outside world uses a different system?"

"I'm just thinking, could it be that they are other time travelers who brought the dark magic of the Western world? Then should we use Harry Potter's methods to remove the curse? Wands, spells, potions?"

"Dark magic, Harry Potter, what is that... Weiwei, where did you hear that from?" Shu Tinglong was stunned by Song Weichen's question. What was she talking about? Why after these words formed a sentence, she couldn't understand a single word...

"I don't know why the outer realm uses the four forces of water, fire, earth and wind. I have asked someone to look up the origin of this talisman. If I can get the answer to this question, I will be the first to tell you, okay?"

Although Shu Tinglong was confused, he still responded to Song Weichen's strange questions in a good-tempered manner.
.
Mo Tingfeng, who was listening to Shu Xinglong explaining the strange rune to Song Weichen, didn't say a word. He originally didn't know that this strange rune had such an explanation, but after all, he was knowledgeable and experienced, so after a little deduction, he had a general understanding of the rune.

"The three forces of water, fire and earth are consistent with the five elements, which is relatively easy to understand, except for 'wind'."

"If my inference is correct, 'wind' is the power of 'wood' in the Five Elements. In the Eight Trigrams, Xun represents wind and wood. They are originally one thing, but the wind in the foreign land makes the wood wither, so they chose to use wind to refer to the power of wood."

After these words were spoken, both of them had an expression of sudden enlightenment, especially Song Weichen, who looked like a primary school kid being taught by his teacher to do his homework.

Song Weichen even forgot that he was still quarreling with Mo Tingfeng. With a pair of bright eyes, he raised his arm and raised his hand to ask,

"Teacher Mo, Teacher Mo! Then why is there no 'gold' power?"

"According to what you said, there is no shortage of rocks and minerals in the outer realms. Isn't it easy for cultivators to borrow gold power?"

The word "Teacher Mo" made Mo Tingfeng feel warm at heart. He felt that Song Weichen had not "naughty" with him for a long time, and he almost forgot what it felt like to be dependent on and needed by her.

He couldn't help but take two steps closer to Song Weichen. He wanted to hold her hand but was afraid that she would resist. In the end, he just gently helped to smooth the loose hair on her forehead.

"My Weiwei is really smart. She can understand everything at a glance."

"However, in any witchcraft, gold will be avoided no matter where it is. The five elements of witchcraft are fire and wood, and gold not only dissipates fire, but also restrains the power of wood. That's why the power of gold cannot be seen in this spell."

"I see."

Song Weichen nodded. This trip was not in vain. Although he still didn't know who used Shu Tinglong's handwriting to convey information, fortunately, he had made some new progress in understanding the big-bellied frog talisman.

"Lord Si Chen has profound insights. I admire him!"

Shu Xinglong bowed and saluted. He truly admired Mo Tingfeng's analytical ability, but he was also a little scared, fearing that one day he would become an enemy with such a person.

Mo Tingfeng smiled slightly and returned the greeting.
"I'm just showing off my skills in front of an expert, and I'm making Mr. Shu laugh."

"This foreign rune is like a heavenly book. I am not talented and have never heard of it. I would like to ask you, but Boss Shu just mentioned the foreign rune technique like the back of his hand. It is obvious that he is well versed in this art. How did you know it?"

Shu Xinglong was obviously prepared for Mo Tingfeng's question. He calmly folded the letter with runes drawn on it on the table and put it into the inner pocket of his lapel - obviously meaning to see the guest off.

"I am just a humble businessman. How can I be worthy of the advice of the wise and wise Lord Si Chen? That's too much."

"It's just that I often do business in foreign lands and have heard a little about it. After all, the more dangerous the place, the greater the profit margin. I love money and often walk by the river, so it's inevitable that I've heard a thing or two."

At this point, there is obviously no need to talk further.

The three of them said goodbye.
.
When I came out of the Moon-Watching Tower, it was almost Chou time. The lights in Si Chen Mansion were still on. There were several major mysteries at hand, and there was also an internal traitor causing trouble. All the grudge-solving masters were busy, and no one could sleep tonight.

However, Song Weichen yawned loudly at an inopportune time. She was really too tired. If she had not taken several life-extending pills in a row, she would have collapsed long ago.

Mo Tingfeng saw it and felt distressed. He didn't care whether she struggled and refused. He picked her up by the waist without saying anything and rushed back to Wuqingju.

……

Only after the two disappeared did a pair of eyes with extremely complicated expressions leave the window on the third floor of Wangyue Tower - Shu Tinglong had a sinister look on his face, holding a crumpled letter in his hand. He walked to the table, unfolded the crumpled paper with the words "evil doll" written on it again, and placed it on the candle flame to ignite it.

The moment the paper met the fire, it burst into a very bright warm orange color. Shu Tinglong's fingers seemed to be burned by the orange light, and he suddenly threw it away - the paper was like a burning snow lotus, slowly floating into the air, and in a moment it turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

"Humph."

In the darkness, Shu Xinglong snorted coldly. Both his expression and tone were very different from his usual ones, and it was filled with a strong sense of sharpness and viciousness.

"It seems that the warnings and tortures I gave you were not enough. You still dare to come!"
