Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

This is the instinct of a summoning wizard, the desire to witness more powerful demons.

Beside him, Jiang Shaoxu suddenly asked, "What is the name of this most powerful creature?"

"Its name is [Ba Xia]!"

Lu Jun answered, and then fell into deep thought. He remembered that there was a temple on the coast of Japan, where a wooden fish magic tool was stored, which happened to be the totem device of Ba Xia.

I don't know if I can get it. After all, it's a small item that can double the water defense.

Chapter 283 Arrival, Yanming Temple

Lu Jun shook his head and let it be.

He has a white tiger pendant and water-repellent beads. According to the original novel's Xiao Muyu's aversion to Mo Fan, it is estimated that it is impossible for him to get them.

The sea was calm and everyone relaxed. They leaned on the railing of the ship curiously and looked down at the bottom of the sea. After a while, a huge underwater shadow gradually sank and disappeared into the depths.

The sea has returned to its original deep blue.

After this little episode, people in the government and others talked about it and felt it was quite magical. Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lu Jun, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Lu Jun pretended not to notice, thinking that the fish had taken the bait. His tactic was called "playing hard to get". He deliberately mentioned things related to the totem so that Jiang Shaoxu, who was obsessed with his brother, would take the initiative to provide information.

Ahem, Jiang Shaoxu, you don’t want your brother’s efforts to go to waste, do you?

He shook off the random thoughts in his mind. This damn place, Japan, was poisonous. Just getting close to the sea area would cause alienation.

After a while, people from the government saw a black coastline in the distance. The port was prosperous and bustling. They were no longer alone on the sea and encountered many fishing boats.

When the ship docked, Lu Jun stepped onto the land and was filled with emotion. The ocean had been extremely calm all the way, but who could have imagined that it would be full of dangers four or five years later.

However, there is also the Japanese Sea Battle City, which serves as a barrier for the first island chain, blocking the Siren Empire in the east.

Soon, this group of young people with outstanding temperament, who stood out from the crowd and were incompatible with the local residents, attracted the attention of several coast guards at the port, who approached to negotiate.

But Lu Jun was too lazy to get entangled with the coast guard, so he secretly released his mental magic. His eyes flashed with transparent light, and the silent waves spread, covering the people nearby.

The light on everyone seemed to dim, and their presence suddenly decreased.

At the same time, two fishermen who were doing business next door suddenly got into an argument and started arguing fiercely with red faces.

The coast guards were confused halfway through their walk, as if they had forgotten what they were going to do. When they saw this scene, they turned a corner, walked around the crowd, frowned and stepped forward to stop the two fishermen.

Lu Jun is a high-level psychic, and he can easily distort the cognition and emotions of ordinary people.

The dozen or so people in the government did not notice all this because their spiritual level was too low.

Everyone was just glad that they had no documents but were lucky enough to get through customs.

After leaving the port, since some of them did not have ID cards, they could not stay in the hotel in Little Bear City and were forced to stay in a temple on a mountain by the sea for a few days.

The monks in the temple took them in temporarily for the sake of the incense money.

……

This temple is called [Yanming Temple], which is a very standard Japanese temple style. The stone frame gate is at the foot of the mountain, and the marble steps lead straight up the mountain.

The temple was deserted, with few pilgrims and even fewer monks.

Lu Jun led a group of people to live in the temple. Looking back, he found that Mo Fan had disappeared again at some point. Where did he go?

Seeing this, Guan Yu grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Always acting on your own, too self-centered."

Hearing this, Lu Jun deeply agreed. He didn't feel that when he was a teammate, but now he needs to manage the entire team. People like Mo Fan are really troublesome.

Being the captain is not an easy job at all. If he didn't have the largest share of the government's resources, he would have wanted to quit.

He gazed at the temple in the dark, deep in thought. The Baxia totem [wooden fish] was sealed here.

However, as the wooden fish had been missing its spirit for a long time, it was possessed by an accidentally condensed evil spirit and became a tool for doing evil.

To be honest, the Japanese painting style has some underworld touches, the evil spirit of Yanming Temple is like this, and the same is true for the [Soushukaku] that they are going to challenge the national government in Osaka next.

The latter is the legendary birthplace of the Red Devil and the origin of the devil.

After entering the temple, the Kuomintang team was exhausted and each found a dormitory to rest.

Lu Jun silently sensed the environment of Yanming Temple. There was an imperceptible aura of mental curse in the air, which could not be detected by any magician with only curse or mental skills.

Just like Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Shaoxu had no doubts at all.

Time passes slowly.

In the middle of the night, Lu Jun was suddenly awakened by the noise of his teammates.

He rushed over and saw Zhao Manyan, with dyed blond hair, lying straight on the ground. Fortunately, Li Kai was quick to catch him. A group of people hurriedly laid old Zhao flat on the bed.

The team's healing mage, Nan Rongni, stepped forward to check and shook his head slightly: "There is no sign of poisoning. His mind is completely silent and his body is cold. The latter is not a problem. The key is the soul. I can't do anything."

Guan Yu said irritably, "What the hell is going on? Where did Zhao Manyan get these dirty things?"

"Oh, right." Jiang Yu was startled, and looked around at the twelve people, and asked in astonishment, "Where is Mo Fan?"

Lu Jun looked around. In the original timeline, Mo Fan and Jiang Shaoxu went down the mountain together, but now Jiang Shaoxu was distracted by the totem news he revealed and had no mood to fool around with other men.

Mo Fan should be back soon. Before that, he will probably encounter the evil spirit of the monk named [Narahara Sora] and the soul girl Miyata enslaved by it.

Sure enough, Mo Fan appeared at the door and said in a casual tone, "Why are you all gathered together? What happened?"

For a moment, everyone stared at Mo Fan. Guan Yu yelled, "Where have you been? Something happened to Zhao Manting."

Hearing this, Mo Fan hurried to the bedside and looked at Zhao Manyan lying on the bed in astonishment. He suddenly recalled Nara Hara Sora's words and Miyata's questioning of his life. His face twisted and angry.

"Fuck, is what the monk said true?"

Everyone was confused and asked questions immediately.

Mo Fan said with an unpleasant expression, "I met a ghost girl. She asked me my name, and I told her Lao Zhao's name. Later, the monk reminded me that the girl was a ghost who could seduce souls."

After saying this, Jiang Shaoxu, a female member of the team, got goosebumps all over her body. She even said, "How can there be such evil ghosts in this world? There are only demons."

Jiang Yu gave a thumbs up and said, "Good fellow, Zhao Manyan is so lucky to have you as a friend, but it's unlucky for eight lifetimes."

Ai Jiangtu was thinking beside him, and then he said, "There is no smoke without fire. Legends have to have a basis. How about we go find the girl from Miyata and ask her clearly?"

The others agreed and looked at Captain Lu Jun, waiting for his decision.

Lu Jun thought about it and realized that Mo Fan was misled by the evil monk, and Gong Tian was just a scapegoat, a false illusion.

In fact, when he entered Yanming Temple, he had been using his spiritual power to search for evil spirits, but unfortunately Nara Yuankong hid very well and he failed to catch the tail.

Now things have taken a turn for the better. The evil spirit has taken action. Wherever it passes by, there will be traces left. Old Zhao in front of us is an excellent coordinate.

"No need, I have a way to find out who is behind this."

Lu Jun said confidently, "Calling the name to seduce the soul is actually a kind of curse magic. Let me use Lao Zhao's body as a medium to curse him in reverse. During this period, the body cannot move, so I'll trouble you to protect him."

Chapter 284: Tearing the Evil Spirit Apart

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, almost forgetting that their captain was an expert curse mage.

Of course, Ai Jiangtu still had some doubts. Although Lu Jun's cultivation was much higher than his, they were both high-level curse masters, so the gap shouldn't be too exaggerated. Why didn't he sense it?

Lu Jun did not explain, but first described the summoning star track. A huge black and purple magic circle was intertwined, and surging dark mist was filled, accompanied by wisps of black thunder, and strong mental curse waves rushed into the sky.

For a moment, Ai Jiangtu and the others were forced to retreat, looking in astonishment as an elegant and handsome black and white giant beast stepped out from the formation, with a domineering commanding pressure sweeping across the entire venue.

"Commander-level summoned beast!"

Jiang Yu was shocked and asked with envy: "Mr. Lu, did you catch it in the dark forest that Master pointed out?"

"That's right." Lu Jun chuckled and said, "You have to thank your master, Chief Pang Lai."

The others were equally shocked. A commanding giant monster was enough to rival a dozen members of the national government. They all secretly made up their minds to break through to the higher level as soon as possible.

Then Lu Jun turned around and told the Night Thunder Dream Beast: "Help me guard it."

He summoned the dream beast for two reasons. One was of course to protect himself. He was not very familiar with the people in the government, so how could he trust them to his own hands? The other reason was to cover his spellcasting and enhance his spiritual realm.

Actually, Lu Jun lied. The evil spirit cannot be found by the curse system alone. The participation of the psychic system is required. It just so happens that the attributes of the Night Thunder Dream Beast cover it up perfectly.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast nodded and walked around his body. Pitch-black lines spread out, forming a dark formation. Anyone who stepped in would be pinned down by the giant shadow nails.

Immediately, Lu Jun sat down cross-legged, shrouded in the hazy nightmare realm of the summoned beast, and outsiders could not see his appearance clearly.

Buzz!

He controlled the stars, and transparent star maps appeared one after another, interweaving into a dazzling transparent constellation. A vertical pupil ran through the center of his brain, staring intently at Old Zhao who was lying in front of him.

The next moment, Lu Jun's soul left his body, and a transparent and solid shadow emerged, with black and red curse patterns all over his body, a galaxy circling around his heart, and every move he made was filled with gusts of cold wind, looking strange and eerie.

That’s right, he brought the cursed galaxy into his soul: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s a bit like [the Yin spirit leaving the body].”

At the same time, Lu Jun looked down and saw his own body collapsed limply on the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

"Muyu evil spirit, let me find your trace."

Lu Jun's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhao Manyan lying on the bed. Under the reflection of the dual realms of the mind curse, his vision changed.

I saw a long soul thread extending from Lao Zhao’s forehead, sinking into the void, and reaching the distant other end.

This is the connection between soul and body.

As soon as he thought about it, the Ghost Punishment was activated, and the ghostly figure of Black Impermanence emerged, turning into a black cloak that covered his soul.

Soon, Lu Jun's spirit body floated and entered the void where the soul thread escaped. A cloud of mist passed through the wall and flew along the shady forest in the dark night towards a remote temple deep in the mountains.

As he passed by, he saw the twelve nervous government members below, and encountered a large number of small animals and insects in the dense jungle.

"caught you."

Lu Jun's spirit arrived at a long-forgotten temple. He sneered and saw a wooden fish enshrined on the altar in the temple from a distance.

And accompanied by a hazy spiritual illusion, the temple was surrounded by an ominous dark red color.

Ordinary people cannot see this scene at all. Evil spirits are essentially cursed ghosts, and only a higher level of spiritual vision than that of seeing the dead can be detected.

"Is this the internal space of the wooden fish magic tool?"

He seemed to be thinking about something, similar to the bloody swamp in the White Tiger pendant and the Styx in Mo Fan’s Azure Dragon pendant.

After a moment, Lu Jun's spirit body floated to the edge of the spiritual illusion, and his illusory palm touched the barrier. A "hissing" corrosion sound was heard, and a dark red light and a resistance force came, which pushed him back several meters.

"Interesting, but it can't stop me."

Seeing this, Lu Jun said calmly, a majestic spiritual wave rushed into the sky throughout his body. The obviously illusory soul showed signs of transforming into a physical entity, interfering with the surrounding reality and distorting the air.

Rumble!

His momentum continued to rise, reaching the peak of the sixth realm. With the support of his summoned beast, Night Thunder Dream Beast, his mental power competition had already reached the limit of the high-level level.

"Open it for me!"

Lu Jun stretched out his hands, which turned into a pair of huge ghost claws. He grabbed the barrier and tore it apart fiercely.

With a swish sound, his spirit body, like a demon, actually tore a crack in the mental illusion with his bare hands and suddenly drilled into it.

In an instant, Lu Jun's vision spun around and he fell into a real world.

He stood at the sky and looked down. This was an area exactly the same as the Yanming Temple in the outside world, except that it was daytime, and there were people coming and going, and cars were busy, making it extremely prosperous.

"Have the scenes of Yanming Temple over the past ten years been recorded?"

Lu Jun murmured to himself. He knew very well that there were no vengeful spirits in the world without reason.

Wherever there are evil spirits, there will be injustice.

There is a cliché yet poignant story about the evil Nara monk and the Miyata girl.

Originally, Yanming Temple was very popular, but Nara was an inconspicuous figure among them. He was responsible for fetching water from the mountain every day. There happened to be a girl named Miyata at the foot of the mountain, and the two of them fell in love with each other.

As a result, another monk, Nanami, met them. Because he was jealous and had his own dirty tricks, he went down the mountain to look for prostitutes and was discovered. He then framed Nara and Miyata for having an affair that night.

It just so happened that the two of them were together that night, and their testimonies did not match. Unable to defend himself, Miyata chose to commit suicide to prove his innocence.

Nara felt a strong hatred and committed suicide for love. By mistake, he was captured by Baxia's wooden fish totem and his spirit became evil.

This is the origin of evil spirits.

"Your revenge is justified, but if you sacrifice the lives of innocent people for revenge, that is pure evil."
