Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 104 The Power of the Cat Talisman
"You said you can resurrect dad and the others? Is that true?" Xiaoyu took a few steps forward excitedly.

Even though Daolong had given her a bad feeling before, she couldn't control her emotions at this moment.

Daolong played with the cat charm in his hand, circling around Xiaoyu and saying, "Of course, the black energy wizards never joke, and the method to resurrect them is very simple, it is this cat charm."

"Cat talisman? But didn't Dad and the others say that this talisman is fake? There is no cat in the Holy Lord's twelve talismans." Xiaoyu said.

"Who said this talisman is one of the Holy Lord's twelve talismans?" Daolong said with a wry smile, "This talisman comes from the Holy Lord's brother, Shentian!"

“I don’t know why Shentian also turned into a stone statue and was stripped of his sixteen divine powers, but this talisman is indeed Shentian’s talisman.”

"Then what should I do to save Dad and the others?" Xiaoyu asked anxiously. After all, it has been almost three days since Dad and the others passed away. If she delays any further, she is afraid it will be too late.

Daolong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, cats have nine lives, which symbolizes the nine underworlds of hell and also the power to communicate with the underworld!"

"Simply put, after activating the divine power contained in the cat charm, you will be able to see the existence of the underworld, and naturally you will be able to see the souls of the dead."

"After that, you can use the cat spell to bring the dead back to the human world and reshape them into a new body. However, this will not be without cost."

"Because cats only have nine lives, you can only bring back nine souls at most. At the same time, your lifespan will be cut in half from the moment you bring your soul back, leaving you with a final nine years."

"So you have to think clearly. You are only twelve years old now. If you use the cat charm, you will die in nine years because of the price paid by the cat charm."

"I'm not afraid. As long as I can resurrect Uncle Long and the others, what does it matter if I lose a few decades of life?" Xiaoyu said firmly, with no sign of retreat in her eyes.

Daolong was slightly stunned, as if he was a little shocked by Xiaoyu, but he quickly recovered and said, "Okay, I will activate the divine power in the talisman right away."

He closed his eyes, put his hands together, and held the cat talisman in his palms. With a move in his heart, Daolong recited an ancient magic spell to release the power of animals.

"Elhala Sadrah, Elhala Sadrah, Elhala Sadrah"

As the words fell, at a certain moment, a faint light burst out from Daolong's palm.

When Daolong spread out his palm, Xiaoyu felt that there was something extra on the cat talisman.

This feeling is difficult to describe in words, but Xiaoyu understands that the divine power contained in the talisman has been stimulated.

"Thank you!" Xiaoyu first expressed her gratitude, and then took the talisman from Daolong.

When Xiaoyu's fingers first touched the surface of the talisman, the world in front of her eyes suddenly changed into a different scene.

All colors disappeared, all sounds were blocked out by an invisible force, and the whole world turned into a single black and white tone.

When Xiaoyu raised her head, she was surprised to find that the souls of Jackie Chan, Dad, Qing Cang, Bull Warrior, Little Snake and Blake were all surrounding her, as if they had never left.

When I saw Jackie Chan's guilty look.

Xiaoyu's eyes were moist.

She seemed to have a tight breath in her heart, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Xiaoyu."

Until Jackie Chan called out softly.

Xiaoyu's nose twitched suddenly, and she could no longer control herself and threw herself towards Jackie Chan, bursting into tears.

"Uncle Long, Uncle Long, woo woo woo"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's all Uncle Long's fault. Uncle Long shouldn't have left you alone. Uncle Long shouldn't have distrusted you. It was Uncle Long who let you down."

Jackie Chan rubbed Xiaoyu's back comfortingly.

"No, no." "Uncle Long, you are not wrong. It's just that I was too naughty. I will listen to you in the future, woo woo."

Xiaoyu hugged Jackie Chan tighter, as if she was afraid that if she let go, Jackie Chan would disappear from her sight.

The others were also moved by this scene, and no one wanted to interrupt.

Instead, Dad's soul floated in front of Daolong, touched his chin, looked him up and down, and said, "You feel very familiar to me. I think we have met somewhere before."

Daolong said: "Really? Maybe I have seen it, but I am not interested in weak mages."

"Hey, do you look down on Dad? Or do you want to fight with Dad?" Dad suddenly put his forehead close to Daolong's face, as if he wanted to pick up the pufferfish magic weapon to show him who is better.

Daolong turned his head away sarcastically and said, "Tell me about this after you are truly resurrected!"

"Hey, Dad is really pissed off!"

"Don't stop me. I'm going to teach this evil wizard a lesson right now!" Dad rolled up his sleeves angrily.

Seeing this, Blake and the Bull Warrior hurriedly joined Qing Cang in grabbing the old man.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and said, "I will use the power of the talisman to resurrect you."

"Wait a minute, Xiaoyu, I..." Jackie Chan suddenly held Xiaoyu's hand, hesitant to speak.

The old man and the others nearby suddenly quieted down at this time and looked at Xiaoyu quietly.

Although they have turned into souls, they have been guarding Xiaoyu since she followed the sheriff of District 12 here.

So they heard clearly what Daolong said to Xiaoyu just now.

Once Xiaoyu uses the cat spell on them, Xiaoyu will only have the last nine years of her life left, which is difficult for them to accept.

Jackie Chan hesitated and said, "Xiaoyu, although we really want to revive you, if the price of resurrection is your life, then Uncle Long would rather you live well."

"You are still young and have a lot of time. If you spend this time on us, you..."

"Uncle Long, I know what you want to say, but this is my own decision. I will never regret my decision at this moment."

"Nothing is more important than family, right?" Xiaoyu said with a smile, her smile was so clean and pure.

Looking at Xiaoyu's smile, Jackie Chan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Finally, Jackie Chan reached out and gently rubbed Xiaoyu's head, and said, "Well, no matter what you do, Uncle Long supports you."

"Thank you, Uncle Long!"

Xiaoyu smiled, then closed her eyes and began to invoke the animal power contained in the cat talisman.

A few moments later, Dad and the others saw it.

Six faint arcs of light extended from Xiaoyu's heart, carrying a strong breath of life, and slowly fell on their bodies.

At this moment, Dad seemed to understand why the price of using the cat spell was to shorten his lifespan.

Because they distributed evenly the part of Xiaoyu's lifespan that was shortened.

In other words, what the six of them are using now is Xiaoyu's life.
