Knife splashing

Chapter 136 Night Crying Boy

"what?"

Seeing Wang Daoxuan's actions, Lu, the attendant from the carriage and horse business, was obviously a little surprised.

He was holding a spell, and there seemed to be a divine light flashing in his pupils. It was obvious that he had gained the ability to see through the wind and snow and see the ruins clearly.

The head of the Foot Guild, Tie Shigu, who was standing nearby, didn't like this Lu Gongfeng, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Lu, what's going on over there?"

Lu Gongfeng nodded and said, "According to the information they gave me, this Taoist priest Wang seems to have a general reputation in Xianyang City, but now it seems that is not the case."

"The snake witch used poisonous snakes to interfere, but her information must be wrong. I didn't know that this Taoist priest Wang was also proficient in spells. If I'm not mistaken, it's the Seven Arrows Secret Spell."

"This Taoist master sensed the other party's aura, but he didn't rush to cast a spell. Instead, he prepared himself first. He was neither hasty nor slow, and he had a certain demeanor."

"In a battle between Xuanmen, regardless of the level of the method, the key to victory is to remain calm in the face of danger."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Tie Shigu's eyes lit up, "So we're sure to win?"

"Not necessarily."

Lu Gongsheng shook his head. "The snake ghost woman has a bad reputation and is good at hiding. She has escaped from the Law Enforcement Hall several times. She must be extraordinary."

"But spells are the most unreasonable thing. It depends on whether the snake ghost woman can break the altar of Taoist Wang in advance..."

Just as he was explaining to everyone, the snake witch in the ruins had already changed her expression slightly, and she realized something was wrong.

She did not bother to continue casting the spell, but immediately took out the tortoise shell, stuffed the copper coin into it, pinched her fingers and chanted a spell, shook it a few times, and then suddenly sprinkled it down.

Wow!

Wow!

It was very fast, sprinkling six times in a row.

This is the Money Hexagram. The positive side of the coin represents Yin, and the negative side represents Yang. If you shake it six times in a row, you will get the six lines. This is an ancient divination technique.

This is the real fight.

The origin of magic was originally to avoid disasters and avoid danger. There is a general process: divination comes first, followed by avoiding taboos, and finally averting disasters.

The same is true for battles between sorcerers.

Often times, the two parties are at a great distance from each other in the ceremony and cannot see each other. Once something is wrong, divination becomes a matter of judgment.

The wind and snow were quite strong at this time, and it was dark at night. There were also broken walls and ruins blocking the way, making it no different from a fight in the air.

"The water in the marsh is trapped, it's a disaster!"

The snake witch looked unhappy and immediately made some guesses.

She had just begun the fight, how come she had become so vicious?
If there was no external force, the flaw would have been revealed just now.

It's those poisonous snakes!
The other party is using extremely vicious spells!
"Xiong Baodong, you misled me!"

The snake witch roared angrily, then bit her tongue, pinched her fingers, and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the black jar in front of her.

Call ~
Suddenly, a strong cold wind blew around.

Xiong Baodong, who was far away, heard the roar and frowned. He sneered, "Is this old witch sick? When did I mislead her?"

Liu Wenchen beside him smiled awkwardly, "Perhaps the intelligence we collected is wrong. When warlocks fight, sometimes misjudgment can lead to danger."

Then he whispered, "Boss Xiong, this snake witch has a vicious temper and will take revenge for any slight. You must be careful in the future..."

"Ah."

Xiong Baodong nodded expressionlessly, and couldn't help but grope for the Bagua jade plate on his chest, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He was in Chang'an, did a lot of immoral things, and never lacked lives. Many people were forced to lose their homes and ruin their families because of him, so naturally people were on guard.

This jade plate was obtained from the Shangshan Dharma lineage at great expense of money and with the help of many connections. It is difficult for evil spirits to get close to it.

With this treasure, combined with his own martial arts skills, he could kill the sorcerer by simply getting close to him.

It seems that I can’t keep this old witch anymore...

Just as Xiong Baodong was thinking, the snake witch had successfully cast the spell. The wind became stronger and stronger, bringing with it snow and forming a whirlwind around the altar.

At the same time, several black cans in front were shaking.

Then, tiny hand and footprints appeared on the snow, as if there were many babies crawling on the ground.

The cold air rolled back, and frost began to condense on the witch's altar.

"Be good, everyone."

The snake witch's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she grinned viciously, "Boys, go eat the Taoist's soul and feed you with incense, otherwise the corpse candle will burn for three days."

"go with!"

As he said this, he screamed, made some hand gestures, and pushed forward.

Call ~
In an instant, the cold wind wrapped in snow and snow raised waves of snow on the ground, rushing towards Wang Daoxuan from all directions.

Wang Daoxuan's expression remained unchanged. He swung the peach wood sword and knocked on the wandering soul jar in front of him, while waving the magic flag at the same time.

"Everyone, protect me!"

Several streams of black smoke instantly flew out of the Wandering Soul Jar, and an equally strong wind blew, mixing with the oncoming snow waves.

The howling wind and the wailing of babies and evil spirits could be heard even by ordinary people on both sides, and their faces turned abnormal.

Although there are many people in the Xuanmen sect in Chang'an, they are very inconspicuous when scattered among the crowd. For many of these gang members, it is the first time to see sorcerers fighting.

Such a strange scene made them feel creepy.

All of these evil soldiers of Wang Daoxuan were recruited from the cold and dilapidated temple in Shangzhou. All of them were fierce and rampant. They had been subdued by offering incense and sacrifices day and night.

To be honest, they are slightly stronger than ordinary evil ghosts, but there are too many baby ghosts, so the two sides are evenly matched.

No one can do anything to anyone.

Seeing that the baby ghost was stopped, the snake ghost woman also became furious.

Her eyes were filled with heartache as she took out a small white porcelain doll from her arms. The doll was tied with a red string. It was only the size of a palm, snow-white in color, and very beautifully made.

This is the disaster-warding doll she obtained after killing someone and stealing treasure. It was made by a painter from another state and can be used to resist a curse.

Although she cursed in her heart, the old witch did not slow down. She bit her fingertips and tapped the white porcelain doll's eyes.

This white porcelain doll was made according to the specifications of a deity statue and has been consecrated. It only needs the finishing touches.

With the blood-red eyes, the porcelain doll looks even more enchanting.

Even the snake witch felt that the doll was looking at her.

"Bah! So what if you have a spirit? Just keep me safe from disaster!"

The snake witch cursed and placed the doll in the southeast corner of the altar.

Although she was at a disadvantage due to intelligence errors, she was skilled in magic and had calculated the direction from which the spell was coming.

After doing this, she picked up a human bone drumstick and kept hitting it on the skull-shaped wooden fish, chanting to herself.

So what if it's a spell? If you blow up the opponent's altar, that Taoist will die wailing in the backlash of the spell.

The two sides seemed to be avoiding each other, but the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

At the same time, Wang Daoxuan was also ready.

The straw man is covered with a tight hoop and locked.

Then, he stepped on the Gang Step, pinched his fingers and chanted a spell: "The sky is dark, the earth is dark, the sun and the moon have nothing to do with it, take it into my shield, seven arrows are on my head, the sun and the time are piercing my heart, hurry up and obey the command..."

puff!
After the spell was finished, he picked up the small willow arrow on the table and stabbed it hard into the straw man's head!
Wow!

On the altar of the snake witch, the white porcelain doll shattered.

"You thief, I won't let you go!"

The snake witch roared and beat the human bone drumsticks even more vigorously.

Wow!
As if there was a resonance, Wang Daoxuan's altar also trembled, the candlelight flickered, and all the magic instruments jumped around.

This is the method of blowing up the altar.

All altars follow one principle, which is to temporarily use the evil energy to form their own situation.

If the altar is disturbed and exploded by magic, all the magic cast through the altar will become ineffective, and the caster will also suffer backlash.

The method of confrontation is also simple. Either you have a powerful enough idol, or something to suppress the altar. These things are only possessed by orthodox religions and Dharma lineages with deep roots.

The method used by the snake witch to break the spell was truly ingenious.

That Taoist priest was not a disciple of the orthodox sect, otherwise she would not have agreed to this job no matter how much the reward was.

What's the point of knowing spells?
There can't be a guy who can suppress the altar, right?

However, Wang Daoxuan on the other side said nothing.
Just put the certificate on the altar.

The old witch just struck it with her drumstick.

Bang!
The human skull wooden fish exploded instantly.

At the same time, the evil energy of the altar became unbalanced, and a force rose from the ground, instantly blowing the altar away.

puff!
The snake ghost woman was attacked, bleeding and falling to the ground, and she screamed in panic: "Daoyou, spare me..."

Before he could finish his words, his face froze.

I saw small black handprints on her neck and body, as if countless babies were strangling her.

At the same time, Wang Daoxuan cast a spell again, picked up the willow arrow, and stabbed it hard on the straw man's head.

call!
The straw man burned instantly.

Wang Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the evil aura around him gradually dissipate, and a layer of white frost formed on his eyebrows.

The Secret Spell of Seven Arrows relies on the evil energy of the earth veins. An ordinary warlock can only resist it three times, so he can only nail down three arrows.

Only those with profound Taoism and amazing comprehension can nail the fourth and fifth arrows. The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

The straw man is on fire, proving that the other person is dead.

Listening to the baby crying in the wind and snow, Wang Daoxuan vaguely guessed something. He sighed slightly and took out a new wandering soul jar.

"Soul~ Come back~"

Wang Daoxuan waved the magic flag, took some steps, made hand gestures, and used the necromancy technique of the Xixuan lineage.

Although he had a good understanding of the "Seven Arrows Secret Spell", the techniques he practiced the most on a daily basis were still those for soothing the souls and warding off disasters.

To put it bluntly, he is a person who has an amazing understanding of dark magic, but because of his personality, he has a special liking for white magic.

He is very familiar with this technique.

Soon, all the baby ghosts scattered in the wind were collected into the ghost jar.

Wang Daoxuan immediately tied a red rope around the body and affixed a soul-calming talisman. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will perform a seven-day ritual to help you break out of prison and transcend."

"Hahaha!"

Outside the ruins, Tie Shigu had already heard the news. He stroked his beard and laughed, mockingly saying, "Xiong, even if you attract these demons and monsters, you will still die here, right?"

"Just wait. After today, I will go to the Law Enforcement Hall and sue you for harboring a demon!"

"What kind of monster are you? Are you getting old and confused?"

Xiong Baodong sneered and didn't care.

Several of his men had already rushed into the ruins, carrying the snake witch's body and throwing it directly into the bonfire.

"you!"

Tie Shigu's face suddenly turned ugly.

Xiong Baodong said calmly: "The black woman from Tianshui unfortunately died. I was kind enough to cremate her and send her ashes back to Tianshui."

"What kind of monster is that? What does it have to do with me?"

Tie Shigu snorted and stopped talking.

He knew that it was impossible to bring down the Fire Bear Gang with this incident.

Xiong Baodong is too cunning and has plenty of ways to escape punishment.

Although he got the upper hand verbally, he lost the first round after all. Xiong Baodong looked a little unhappy. He was silent for a while, turned his head and looked at the narrator, "Sir, it seems I have to trouble you."

The other person was a man dressed in white and wearing a conical hat, with a white veil covering his face. It was obvious that he was of an unusual status. Xiong Baodong's tone also carried a hint of respect.

"Ah."

The man didn't seem to want to pay any attention to Xiong Baodong and walked straight towards the ruins.

There was a flash of anger in Xiong Baodong's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

As for Lu Gongfeng from the Horse and Carriage Company, he seemed to have thought of something and whispered, "Just admit defeat and stop playing."

At this time, Wang Daoxuan had returned, his face was pale and he walked unsteadily.

Sharifei hurried forward to support him. When he heard what Lu Gongfeng said, he turned his head in surprise and said, "Why? Master Wang Dao finally won a game, but he just admitted defeat. Isn't this destroying his own prestige?"

"What do you know!"

Lu Gongfu directly scolded: "The aura of that person is obscure, I couldn't even detect it, and his body movements are extraordinary, and he is also good at boxing and kicking."

"I heard that Yue Fa Chong from the prince's mansion had dealings with the Fire Bear Gang. This person is most likely a disciple of the Shangshan lineage, and he may have already reached the third level of Taoism."

"Going up would only bring humiliation upon oneself, and one might even lose one's life if things go wrong. The magic of the Shangshan lineage is no joke."

After hearing this, Li Yan frowned.

Yue Fachong is Qiao Sanhu's backer, so naturally he had specifically inquired about the Shangshan Dharma lineage.

This lineage of Dharma is also ancient and prestigious.

Its origin is related to the famous Four Haos of Shangshan.

The Four Haos of Shangshan were Dongyuan Gong, Xia Huang Gong, Qili Ji and Luli Xiansheng. They lived in seclusion because they were dissatisfied with the First Emperor's burning of books and burying of scholars. Their names have been passed down through the ages.

But they also have another identity, which is Qin Doctor Official.

When he was in seclusion, in order to prevent a large number of Pre-Qin classics from being destroyed, he secretly transported many of them out and buried them in Shangshan.

The story of the "Shangshan Caverns" has attracted many people since ancient times. After all, it contains many lost ancient books from the pre-Qin period.

If you find one, someone will spend a lot of money to buy it.

What’s more, it is a cave full of Buddhist scriptures.

However, from ancient times to the present, no one has found it.

The Shangshan Dharma Lineage was composed of disciples who served the Four Elders of Shangshan at that time. They happened to have learned some magic techniques, so they secretly hid a lot of ancient techniques collected by the Qin Palace, and eventually formed a Dharma lineage.

The ancient arts from the pre-Qin period were inherited from witchcraft and were connected to the Taoist magic. Even though they have been continuously improved and concealed over the past thousand years, they still have the reputation of being fierce.

In short, it's difficult to deal with.

Li Yan also felt that it would be more appropriate to give up, but just as he was about to speak, he sniffed, looked back, smiled and shook his head:
"Senior, you are late."

In the wind and snow, a pale man walked towards them step by step, carrying a huge soul-calling banner. It was Shen Sanyou, the helper introduced by Luo Mingzi.

His steps were very strange. He seemed to be stumbling, but he was very fast. He came directly to Li Yan and shook his head, saying, "It's too late. There are bastards setting up an ambush outside. A bunch of people are shooting arrows randomly. Their methods are really despicable."

When Tie Shigu heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and he scolded his disciples in a low voice: "Hasn't it been cleared? How come there is still some? Hurry up and take people there!"

"no thanks."

Shen Sanyou smiled mischievously, "I am too lazy to do it, but another Taoist friend is quite murderous and is currently killing someone. Don't disturb his interest."

"Hey, someone's here. Leave this game to me."

As he said this, he carried the soul-calling banner and walked towards the ruins.

"Senior, be careful, he is..."

As soon as Li Yan said this, Shen Sanyou chuckled, "Don't worry, the little bastard from Shangshan is an old rival..."

After that, he carried the spirit-calling banner and began to sing:

"Survival ~ Qinghua House, desolation ~ return to the hills, separation ~ the world of mortals, white snow ~ a thousand years of emptiness... hey hey..."

In the wind and snow, the soul-calling flags fluttered and the singing was mournful.

Liu Wenchen, who was standing opposite him, turned pale instantly.

"Oh no, it's 'Night Cryer'!"
