From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 154 Voodoo Gu [Subscribe! Monthly Tickets! ]

Back at the hotel, several geological experts have drawn up a distribution map of the spiritual energy concentration in Yangping City.

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction. Now as long as they handed over the statistical data, they could set off to the next place.

It was not until the next morning that Taoist priests He Jiao and Chen Junchang returned from the Sun and Moon Building. Police officer Huang Yu also returned with them and handed Li Yang a report on the great master's investigation.

The report shows that a sect called "Voodoo", also known as "Voodoo", has been active in Southeast Asian regions such as Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia and India.

Voodoo originated in western Africa. "Voodoo" means soul in the Fang language. It is a primitive religion that combines ancestor worship, animism, and spiritualism. It is somewhat similar to our country's Shamanism. It is popular in West African countries from Ghana in the west to Nigeria in the east, and later spread to Southeast Asia, where it has flourished ever since.

"There are also strict class restrictions in Voodoo. This class is not a realm, but simply a status. Currently, from low to high, there are common people, spiritual disciples, magicians, and great magicians. But people generally call them sorcerers." Huang Yu held the information and explained in detail to Li Yang.

"Unlike our country, in Southeast Asia, long before the revival of spiritual energy, the prevalence of witchcraft there was so strong that it was daunting. People openly discussed witchcraft in society, and even if old cases were not solved, or if something beloved or valuable was lost and could not be found, the Southeast Asian governments would hire sorcerers to help."

"According to the information currently available, there are many types of witchcraft in voodoo, such as black magic, poison, and exorcism."

Li Yang felt familiar with what he heard and asked, "So, isn't the magic school in Voodoo similar to that of Shangqing Maoshan Sect?"

The techniques of witchcraft and black magic also have their own schools in China, among which the most famous and widespread is the Maoshan School.

It is precisely because of this that the Maoshan Sect has always been feared by those in power in China. It has been suppressed throughout history and has not been doing well. The current head of the Maoshan Sect, Chen Xiyan, only just broke through to the innate realm not long ago, and he did so by relying on the unconventional sword technique.

Huang Yu nodded. "It can be said that Voodoo did not contain any witchcraft or head-falling techniques in its native place of origin, West Africa. Historians also believe that Voodoo in Southeast Asia is actually the Maoshan Sect in my country. The "Maoshan Taoism" flowed into Siam, was taken by the locals and developed into "witchcraft" and "head-falling techniques", and then spread to Southeast Asia."

To put it simply, Gu Shu is the cultivation of Gu worms.

The art of black magic uses some kind of poison or object as a prop. When casting the spell, one usually needs to obtain the birth date of the person being cursed and use it to affect the other person, making the other person act according to one's will.

Li Yang curled his lips. No wonder. In China, no matter which dynasty or generation, once this kind of magic that was obviously evil in nature was exposed, it would definitely be a death sentence. It could only go overseas, but unexpectedly it flourished in Southeast Asia, making it quite lively.

Huang Yu continued, "In Southeast Asia, voodoo is also divided into two factions, namely the black-robed voodoo masters and the white-robed voodoo masters. The former mainly collect money from people to perform voodoo on them, and have no morals at all; the latter mainly help people to remove voodoo and make friends, etc."

"The great wizard who appeared in eastern Guangdong is from Myanmar. His real name is Wen Ge. He is the supreme leader of the black-clad sorcerers."

"Most powerful sorcerers in Voodoo have no relatives. They have apprentices and helpers. Although some of them have wives, most of them have no children. This is one of the sequelae of the Yin magic they practice. Therefore, these sorcerers are generally very protective of their only disciples, especially their only disciples, and they are trained as their own children."

Li Yang suddenly realized: "No wonder I killed Ge Danwei, and this Master Wen Ge was so furious that he insisted on fighting me."

Huang Yu had a lingering fear on his face. "This Master Wengo is not a good person. He has no humanity. According to the information we have so far, he and his apprentice, Ge Danwei, were involved in the mass death of the Siamese royal family a few months ago. He is now the most wanted criminal in Siam and many countries in Southeast Asia."

Suddenly, Li Yang thought of something and continued to ask, "According to what you said, in addition to witchcraft and black magic, there is also a kind of magic called Nuo magic in Voodoo. What is it?"

"I'm not sure, but it should have some connection with our country's Nuo culture, like gods, ghosts, and spirits?"

There is also some uncertainty in Huang Yu's words, because in Voodoo, there are very few records about Nuo magic, and there is no data or information available for research.

Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had experienced both witchcraft and black magic from Wen Gehe and Ge Danwei, but he had never seen the Nuo magic performed in all the battles he had had with the two men.

Is it because these two guys are not well-trained? I haven't learned it myself either?
The two chatted for a long time, from voodoo to the extraordinary organizations that have emerged abroad, to the domestic situation and the development of the Taoist Alliance and the Special Bureau.

As for the future situation in China, the tone has basically been set. The Taoist Alliance will be pushed to the surface and become the unified management organization for domestic Taoist practitioners.

The Special Bureau is a shadow, affiliated with the military, commanding the overall situation behind the scenes, investigating extraordinary events across the country and collecting extraordinary information from abroad.

This Voodoo is a foreign force that the Special Bureau has been paying attention to, as it may have supernatural powers and ascetics.

In addition, Huang Yu also mentioned that traces of various supernatural powers have appeared in Japan and many countries in Europe and the United States.

According to what she revealed, the Special Bureau is also currently training experts. The capital has restarted the Sword Master plan, and has found six or seven people who meet the qualifications of Sword Master in the capital and several nearby cities, all of whom are candidates for Sword Master.

Li Yang was a little surprised. Could this thing be organized into a team?

"Of course." Huang Yu smiled and continued, "I was also involved in the selection of sword masters in the military at that time. I even passed the initial screening, but I was still a little short. It was because of that time that I came into contact with your magical world."

"It is said that among the current several candidate sword masters, there are already people who are close to touching the innate. The higher-ups speculate that if a suitable innate appears among the candidate sword masters, perhaps he will not die with just one sword strike, but can swing a few more sword strikes."

Li Yang asked curiously, "Sword Master, Sword Master, what kind of sword is that? Why do you value it so much?"

Huang Yu was very secretive: "I can only say this: a sword master below Xiantian can severely injure or even kill an ordinary Xiantian by wielding that sword."

A sword master above the innate level has never appeared, and Huang Yu has no idea how powerful he will be.

Li Yang was a little surprised. Among the known magic weapons, none had such power.

There is a huge gap between the innate and those below the innate. Wang Shuhuan was holding a sword pill, which was refined with spiritual water, but he was still brutally beaten by the innate Ge Danwei.
Moreover, Ge Danwei's strength is actually only average among the innates. In China, not counting the innate sword immortals and root magicians who are unparalleled in attack and destruction, even the innate inner alchemy system who focus on health preservation are not afraid of him.

At the same time, Li Yang was a little confused: "Didn't you hide these things before? Why are you so open this time and tell me so much information directly?"

"This is what the higher-ups meant. They told me that I could reveal some of the Sword Master's plans to Master Li, because Master Li will know it sooner or later."

"I will know sooner or later?"

Huang Yu smiled mysteriously, kept the secret and did not explain further.

When the two finished their conversation and came out of the room, it was already dark. Huang Yu had dinner in the hotel and drove away.

This is the tenth day of our stay in Yangping City. After dinner, all the experts and professors went back to their rooms to pack their luggage. The train tickets and helicopter for tomorrow morning have been arranged, and they will soon be heading to the next destination.

Several old experts were still a little reluctant to leave. Since the spiritual energy exploration in June, they had only lived the life of modern people in the past few days in Yangping City. In other places, they had to work day and night, and go deep into the mountains and forests, like savages.

The hotel's food standard was very good. After Li Yang finished his meal, he looked around but did not see Wang Shuhuan and Zhu Ling.

After they left, Xu Yihe passed a message through Wang Shuhuan, promising to take good care of the poor girl and arranged a job for her. Hearing Li Yang's question, Lao Zhang explained: "Wang Shuhuan just called and he will be back on time before the team leaves tomorrow. Zhu Ling, that girl..."

After spending the past few days together, the experts all had a good impression of this sensible and obedient little girl. Old Zhang was also a little puzzled at this time: "It seems that she has not left the room since last night."

Li Yang looked at the dim night outside the hotel and felt something was wrong.

It's been a whole day and a night. Even if the little girl is sleepy, she shouldn't stay out of the room all day and not eat, right?
A waitress was sent to knock on the door, but there was no response for a long time. Realizing that something was wrong, the hotel manager used the room card to swipe and open Zhu Ling's door.

"what!"

A shrill scream broke the silence of the hotel, and Lao Zhang, He Jiao, Chen Junchang and others came over after hearing the sound.

The hotel manager and the waitress at the door of the room were rolling and crawling, their faces pale, and they used their hands and feet to crawl out.

"There's a ghost, there's a ghost inside!"

Li Yang rushed into the room first, where Zhu Ling was lying quietly on the bed wrapped in a quilt.

However, this is not the point. The point is that the entire white bedding turned blood red at some point and gave off a bloody smell like rust.

Li Yang pulled back the quilt. Zhu Ling was now extremely skinny, with blood oozing from her skin. Large patches of small black handprints covered her entire body.

"What is this?"

Li Yang looked at Zhu Ling, whose life breath was weak, and a trace of surprise and self-blame flashed across his face.

He clearly said yesterday that the Great Wizard would come to give Zhu Ling a full body check-up, but Zhu Ling has not left the room since he came back. He thought Zhu Ling was sleeping and did not disturb him until now.

Those small black handprints are still appearing and have spread to the neck.

"Chen Junchang, call the police and dial 119!"

"Yes!"

Chen Junchang was a Taoist priest from the Huashan Sect. He realized that something was wrong and turned around to make a phone call.

Li Yang threw out two life jades to first keep Zhu Ling alive, and then carefully examined these black hand prints.

What surprised him was that he couldn't even trace the black handprint at all. It was more like a natural birthmark formed automatically like a blood clot.

The alien spiritual energy was very weak, and the jade toad spiritual energy that Li Yang injected into Zhu Ling's body had no effect on this handprint. Only the Yangwu spiritual energy could stop the spread of the small handprint.

Thinking of something, Li Yang's soul left his body. After leaving his body, he saw that those small handprints exuded a chilling cold air. Li Yang felt a chill on his fingertips when he touched them.

The Yin spirit returned to the body, and Li Yang frowned.

Not believing it, he stuck all kinds of talismans on his body on it, but there was still little effect.

Since he started practicing Taoism, he had never seen such a strange thing. He tried his best, but there was no way to crack it?

If the entire global spiritual energy revival is likened to science, Li Yang is now like a mathematics expert who is facing a big problem in physics, chemistry and biology and is completely clueless.

Chen Junchang, who called back, was shocked when he saw Zhu Ling, who was pasted like a mummy.

"Master Li, what is this disease?"

"I don't know. I suspect it's some kind of black magic or witchcraft from the great wizard's lineage."

Li Yang was certain that this was some kind of evil magic that affected the soul. He was not afraid of being cast into the spell, but he did not know how to resolve it.

Just like some people have good physical fitness and won’t get sick, but that doesn’t mean they can cure diseases, right?

In order to stabilize Zhu Ling's life, he was sent to a nearby hospital. Several medical professors were called in overnight to take turns to treat him. Blood tests and CT scans were also done, but unfortunately they were still confused about this disease.

"We suspect that this is a rare case that has never appeared in the medical field!" An old and famous medical professor made this conclusion, and then several medical professors began to argue about the naming of the disease.

Li Yang was speechless for a while, and at four in the morning, he transferred Zhu Ling to a hospital in the center of Yangping City.

Lying on the hospital bed, Zhu Ling's eyes were closed, her beautiful eyelashes kept trembling, and her hair was a little dry and yellow, but fortunately, the bleeding on her skin had finally stopped.

Looking at the girl on the hospital bed, Li Yang felt a little uncomfortable.

A girl in her twenties should be extremely fond of beauty, but she couldn't find any cosmetics after searching her whole body, and she only had two pieces of clothes. She always politely refused anything Wang Shuhuan and Xu Yihe bought for her.

For the sake of her sister, she fell into prostitution in eastern Guangdong, but a girl of this appearance would live an extremely refined life even if her moral bottom line was a little lower, and she would definitely not be unable to afford two bowls of noodles.

Li Yang lowered his head and looked at the beautiful little yellow flower sewn on the cuff of his Taoist robe.

During the days they stayed in the hotel, the girl was responsible for washing clothes for all the experts, professors and Li Yang.

The torn Taoist robe was sewn up by this little girl at some point.

Small yellow flowers are embroidered on the seams, and the needlework is gentle and graceful, which is unique to women from the south of the Yangtze River.

The trip originally scheduled for the morning was cancelled. Wang Shuhuan, who arrived late, looked at Li Yang, who was silently looking at his sleeves in the hospital corridor, and didn't know how to start.

"Go contact Xie Yu in Qingcheng Mountain and tell him that I want to borrow someone from him." Li Yang looked up and said to Wang Shuhuan.

"Who?"

"Mt. Mao's Shangqing Sect, Chen Xiyan."
