Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1212 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Twelve) Destiny

The bearded man asked, "Will anyone who performs this kind of martial arts ritual bring disaster upon himself?"

Rao Yanqiao said, "Yes, if I want to avoid the disaster I have brought upon myself, I will need that money."

"Is there such a thing? Very few people know this kind of martial arts, right? Do you happen to know this kind of martial arts?" asked the bearded man.

"You are asking about me. I happen to know about it. If you ask someone else, maybe they have never heard of this martial art." Rao Yanqiao said.

"So I've found the right person? Then do you know why performing rituals for someone who practices this kind of martial arts will bring you disaster?" asked the bearded man.

Rao Yanqiao lowered her voice and said, "Because it's related to human life!"

When the bearded man heard this, he felt that he really did know something, so he continued to ask, "What's the connection?"

"To practice this martial art, you need to find a living person. During the practice, you need to absorb a kind of energy from the living person that has a unique effect on practicing this martial art. Do you think I am right?" Rao Yanqiao said.

The bearded man thought he should understand, but was worried that he only had a superficial understanding, so he asked, "Do you know what that kind of qi is called in this kind of martial arts?"

"It's called 'life energy'." Rao Yanqiao replied.

"Why is it called this?" asked the bearded man.

"This kind of energy is the basis of human survival." Rao Yanqiao said, "That's the explanation."

The bearded man felt that Rao Yanqiao really understood. In his opinion, there were only a limited number of people who knew this martial art and understood this explanation. He still wanted to ask more, so he said, "You said that the breath you inhale is the basis of life, so it should have a good effect on the practitioner, right? It shouldn't affect the body, right?" "People who practice Mingzun Juelu Secret Art need to absorb other people's life energy to improve their own skills. People whose life energy is sucked away cannot survive. Those people will release another kind of energy before they die. That kind of energy is seriously harmful to the practitioners!" Rao Yanqiao said, "However, not everyone who knows this art has heard of this kind of energy that is not good for practitioners."

When the bearded man heard this, he thought: "Is there such a thing? How come I have never heard of this kind of qi? The book called "Mingzun Juelu Secret Kungfu" did not mention this kind of qi that is bad for practitioners. I am the one he said who did not know about this kind of bad qi.

He was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked, "Then tell me, what is this kind of qi called?"

"Some people don't like these words and think they are unlucky. You allowed me to say them in front of you, right?" Rao Yanqiao said.

"Yeah, I don't believe in good luck or bad luck. There's no such thing as so much trouble!" said the bearded man. "Stop talking so much and just tell me!"

"It's called 'decadence'." Rao Yanqiao said.

The bearded man thought: I have never heard of this. How can there be such a thing? It is not even mentioned in the books, but he made it sound so convincing. Should I believe him or not?
The bearded man said, "Although this doomed spirit has a bad name, it won't necessarily do anything to the practitioner, right? You just said it's seriously harmful? How serious can it be?"

Rao Yanqiao said: "You asked about the degree. You can figure it out by looking at the literal meaning of '殒沦衰气'."

The bearded man said, "Can you please stop being so mysterious when you talk? What do you mean by the literal meaning? Just say it directly. What's the problem?"

Rao Yanqiao said, "I just didn't say it directly because I was afraid that saying those words in front of you would seem disrespectful to you. If you really don't mind, then I will tell you everything directly."
