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

Chapter 89 Fox Talisman

Sora's hand slid across the backs of the sixteen purple cards and said, "Now, please imagine these cards as windows to your soul. Then, according to your heart's guidance, open any one of them."

"Windows to the soul?"

Shentian wanted to laugh. What era is this? And people are still using the old-fashioned rhetoric from the last century.

However, Shentian had no intention of exposing Sora. His calm gaze fell on the backs of the sixteen cards, which had some strange patterns drawn on them.

It is somewhat similar to the tarot cards in Shentian's impression, but there are more tarot cards, I think there are seventy or eighty, I can't remember clearly.

As for the window to the soul, he has become a demon, and his soul has naturally been eaten long ago.

So without hesitating for too long, Shentian reached out and grabbed the first card in the second row on his left.

I pressed my finger on the edge of the card and opened it, only to see a red-nosed clown painted on it, holding a pink scaring gift box in his hand.

And the moment Shentian turned over the card, the scary gift box in the clown's hand suddenly opened, and a black and white spotted spider jumped out of it.

Sora looked at the prediction card and said, "This is a Joker card. It tells me that the first half of your life will not be satisfactory and will often be accompanied by danger."

"Just like the spots on this spider's back, big and small, they represent your many difficulties."

Hearing this, Shentian thought about it.

If the first half of his life that Sora mentioned refers to the things he did during the chaotic period, then there is no problem.

After all, in order to avoid the changes in the world, he often wandered among the eight demons, and even turned against the Holy Lord, putting himself in a dangerous situation.

Shentian nodded and said, "And then? What else did this card tell you?"

"This card only tells me this. You need to turn over two more cards from the remaining nine so that I can know your current situation and future." Sora said.

"Okay, then this one is the current situation, and this one is my future." Shentian didn't want to continue arguing with Sora, so he simply flipped over the two pictures at once.

The first picture shows a city in ruins after being burned down by fire.

The second one is a little simpler, it is a deep night sky dotted with stars.

Shentian crossed his arms over his chest, intending to see what Sora was going to do next.

Sora seemed to have seen through Shentian's thoughts. He laughed softly under his mask and then picked up the Ruins card and said, "This is a Relic Card."

"He foretold me that your current situation is not good, for within this city, burned by flames, lies a holy sword surrounded by light."

"If you consider the ruins to be you, then this holy sword, untainted by any dust, is like a nail, firmly nailed to your heart!"

"I think you must be feeling upset about something right now!" Sora said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Shentian took another look at the card held in Sora's hand, and only then did he notice that there was indeed a holy sword stuck in the smoke after the burning city.

However, the picture heavily depicts the city's desolation and decline, so the holy sword located in a local area was naturally ignored by Shentian.

However, although what Sora said was right and he was indeed facing some troubles now, Shentian still felt disdainful of Sora's words.

Because Sora's words actually took advantage of the fortune teller's desire for knowledge.

Just imagine, in this crazy era of internal competition, anyone who can walk into a fortune-telling house to seek divination must be carrying some burden on his body or in his heart.

If you think about it carefully, you can see the flaws in Sola's words. For example, Sola's descriptions are all vague concepts without precise definitions. If Sola said that he would definitely encounter a certain event on a certain day of a certain year, Shentian might consider whether Sola's words were true.

But does Sora dare to say it?

The answer is definitely no.

Because Sora can't really predict the future.

All those who enter the fortune-telling house with expectations are actually just seeking a little comfort.

But Shentian didn't need this comfort, so in Shentian's view, Sora's words were meaningless.

Reaching out and placing the relic card in Sora's hand on the table, Shentian said, "Alright, let's talk about the last one!"

Seeing that the corner of the Ruins Card was bent because of Shentian's actions, Sora didn't seem angry and picked up the third card.

"This is a prophecy card. It predicts your future. The card tells me that your future will be as uncertain as the stars in the sky."

"But these uncertainties can change based on your behavior. For example, this brightest star represents your inner heart."

"only you"

"Enough, I really don't have the patience to listen to your meaningless words. Give me the talisman!" Hearing Sora was about to say those clichéd words again, Shentian interrupted impatiently.

However, even so, Sora still showed no sign of anger. Holding the prophecy card, he said calmly, "You are just as impatient as the last person."

"Patience? I've never heard that a black energy wizard needs patience." Shentian sneered, and dragon scales gradually emerged from under the skin covered by clothes.

But just when Shentian was about to make a move, he was shocked to find that all the demonic energy in his body had become extremely stagnant at this moment and could not be mobilized.

Shentian immediately lowered his head as if he sensed something, only to see a formation appear under his feet.

The formation is composed of various spells that come together to release the effect of imprisoning magic power.

"Is this, the Forbidden Magic Formation?"

Shentian said with some surprise.

The structure of the anti-magic formation in front of him was obviously extremely complicated, and there were at least thousands of spells used.

It is almost the same as the magic-suppressing formation he used during the chaotic period.

Shentian raised his head, looked Sora in front of him more seriously, and said, "I didn't expect you to master the primitive magic left over from the chaotic era."

"I didn't expect that even with the help of the Fox Charm, I could still let you turn over the third card." Sora said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Shen Tian finally understood why he had not discovered the appearance of the Forbidden Magic Array.

The fox represents bewitching and possesses the magical power to bewitch people. It is the most charming creature among all living things and can invisibly erode people's will and soul.

Sora was using the pretext of divination to tell fortunes for himself, but in reality he was secretly using the fox charm to bewitch himself, thus quietly activating the magic-forbidden formation.

As a demon, Sora's resistance to spells was naturally much stronger than that of an ordinary wizard. Therefore, it was not until the third card was turned over that Sora successfully cast a magic-banning array on himself and imprisoned his demonic energy.

Unexpectedly, after playing with talismans all his life, he ended up having his eyes pecked out by the talismans.
