Chapter 48: Five Minutes
In fact, Li Xiaoguo did not resist learning illusion, on the contrary, he thought it was quite fun. But since he went through the battle of the Hungry Ghost Dao, he had a battle with Long Shi, which made him realize that there are still many strong people in this world. And every time he faced a strong person, he only had to be beaten, and he did his best to save the day.
So now in his mind, illusion can only confuse or deal with low-level opponents, and it seems that the attack power is insufficient to deal with real strong people.
If he wants to learn, he has to learn more domineering and aggressive techniques.
But playing against the old man, no matter how you think about it, is not a money-losing business. So Li Xiaoguo blinked his eyes and readily agreed: "Competition, how to compare?"
"Didn't you say that our illusions are not offensive?" the white-bearded old man said after a moment of silence, "as long as you restrain the other party, you will win." β
"Restrain me?" Li Xiaoguo looked at the old man's sick body: "Uncle, have you thought about it, what you said is similar to fighting." How can you restrain me with your old arms and legs, don't blame me for bullying the elderly if you lose. β
"Young man, illusion is far more complicated than you think, and there are many types, what you saw just now is only a blinding method, as well as a variety of techniques such as transformation and doppelganger. Coupled with the imagination of the caster's genius, it can be described as ever-changing. The old man looked at Li Xiaoguo's smug appearance, and couldn't help but have a clichΓ©.
"Uncle, don't talk to me, let's start now, shall we?"
"Don't be too crazy, young man. The old man stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Within 5 minutes, I want you to lose convincingly." β
5 minutes, who the hell is crazy about this?
Although he thought that the illusion technique had no attack power, but looking at the other party's Taoism was not ordinarily high, Li Xiaoguo was very much looking forward to what tricks this old man would play.
"Let's go!"
While speaking, the old man waved his hand, and the "Teng" disappeared in place.
Li Xiaoguo was not flustered, he looked left and right, and an imperceptible smile crept up the corner of his mouth. He saw a small reptile crawling towards him on the floor, gray in color, hidden in a crack in the floor.
With a smack, he conjured up his knife, and Li Xiaoguo thrust it into the six-legged insect.
The little gray reptile saw Li Xiaoguo rushing towards him, opened a pair of small wings in a panic, and flew back suddenly, until it flew to the edge of the rooftop before stopping.
"How do you tell that I changed the worm?" the old man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his illusion should be seamless.
"Your illusions are so vivid that I don't even see them. Li Xiaoguo replied firmly: "But if there is a living thing moving towards me, I will stab him." β
The old man's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't imagine that the young man didn't even try to figure out his illusions. Rather, they "exterminate all living creatures that come close to them." But he has to admit that this method is the simplest and the most effective.
And the surprise in Li Xiaoguo's heart is much bigger than the old man, although he can also change, but he only becomes a person about the same size as himself, like the old man becomes such a small insect, he will never be able to do it.
At that moment, he asked curiously: "Uncle, can the insect you become really fly?"
"It depends on whether you're using a blinding technique or a transfiguration. When it came to illusion, the old man looked pedant: "The blinding method is to confuse the other party's vision, and of course the caster can't fly." The Transfiguration is divided into 9 levels, and the top-level Transfiguration is theoretically like the Monkey King, who can fly if he changes into a bird, and can top a person when he becomes a cow. β
"Can a microwave oven be heated, and a car can be driven?" Li Xiaoguo found it interesting and couldn't help but interject.
"It's the first time I've been asked this question in a long time. But why do I want to turn it into a microwave oven?" the old man pondered for a while, and replied to Li Xiaoguo with impatience. "Theoretically, it should be. β
"Theoretically?" Li Xiaoguo realized the other information in the old man's words.
"Because no one has ever practiced the 9th level transformation technique, maybe Sun Wukong can, right?" the old man stroked his beard: "How about it, are you interested in learning?
"What's next?" Li Xiaoguo smiled, "10 minutes, see how much time you have left?"
The old man took out the mobile phone in his pocket and looked at the time, and one and a half minutes had passed. He scolded in his heart, this kid is slippery everywhere, knowing that the old man and I are a little pedantic, and I want to study the problem of illusion as soon as I encounter it, so I deliberately came to chat with me.
"Look, I'll get you right away. β
After speaking, the old man waved his hands at the same time. Patches of plants suddenly grew on the floor of the balcony where Li Xiaoguo was, and these plants grew wildly in the wind, sprouting and flowering. In a short time, it grew into a lush meadow more than half a person tall.
Li Xiaoguo was surrounded in the middle of the meadow. When the breeze blows, the grass ripples. Something seemed to be hiding under the grass and slowly approaching.
"Uncle, do you want to use the grass as a cover to get close to me?" Li Xiaoguo waved his double knives and slashed at the long grass around him. The knife was already extremely sharp, and after cutting it, the weeds broke against the blade, and in a short time it cut a clearing.
But the grass in the clearing soon grew again. Li Xiaoguo continued to cut the grass and shouted around: "Uncle, if you become some kind of little mosquito or little insect, you have to be careful." I don't have a long eye for this knife, and it won't be good if it cuts into your old man's house. β
But soon the hairs on his spine were raised. Countless small reptiles like the one just now appeared in the grass, huddled together like a moving black carpet, and crawled towards him in dense clusters.
"Uncle, you're playing too yin!"
The thousands of beetles didn't care what he said, it was too late and too fast, only the sound of fluttering and fluttering was heard, and tens of thousands of beetles spread their wings at the same time as if they had received an order, and the beetle swarm immediately flew towards him like a fryer.
This old man must be mixed in with the beetles, and the waiter will give me a moment.
You scoundrel, I am even more scoundrel than you, Li Xiaoguo simply closed his eyes and turned himself into an all-metal iron lump, it doesn't matter if you can't move, you can't do anything about me anyway.
The beetle's fluttering sound became smaller and smaller, and there was no movement at the last moment, when Li Xiaoguo was wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd. I only heard a "bang" behind me, followed by a "creaking" sound of the door turning.
"Hit the mark. Li Xiaoguo hurriedly looked at the door on the rooftop, and saw that the old man had opened the door of the rooftop, and was leaning on the door at the moment, holding the key to the rooftop dangling in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Li Xiaoguo immediately understood. The old man never thought of really competing with him from beginning to end, just a pretense for the old man to get out and run away.
"Young man, I'm still a little tender, I want to know who I am, and I'll talk about it next time. The old man smiled mockingly at Li Xiaoguo as he spoke, and the folds on his face bloomed like chrysanthemums.
"Believe your ghost, you bad old man. Li Xiaoguo yelled at the old man, but it was too late, the old man had already walked out of the door and locked the door of the rooftop with his backhand.
As soon as the old man left, the meadow that was still growing wildly just now disappeared in an instant. All that was left was the bare balcony. There is also a little fat man lying motionless on the ground.
He now deeply understands the phrase "ginger is old and spicy". This old man is not only good at illusion, but also a ghost.
After the old man left, Li Xiaoguo felt dizzy, and he sat on the ground. After tossing for several hours, Li Xiaoguo's body was already weak, and every time his body changed, it was a big drain, and he was tired and out of strength.
Fortunately, he is now more and more proficient in the transformation, and after many exercises, he feels that the physical strength consumed by each change is getting less and less, and the time for the change is getting longer and longer. Before he went to the Hungry Ghost Dao, he became an adult, and he could only last about 10 minutes, and today's intermittent change time should be several times that of before.
"This old man has quite an appetite for me. After resting for a while, he suddenly thought of the old man and actually grinned.
It's a pity that after tossing for a long time, I don't even know where the old man came from.
After sitting and sighing for a while, my strength slowly recovered. Seeing that it was not early, Li Xiaoguo turned over and got up and prepared to go home.
He walked up to the fat man and saw that the little fat man was still lying motionless, and faintly heard a trace of snoring.
"Did you faint, or did you fall asleep?" Li Xiaoguo shook it a few times in a row, and the little fat man didn't move at all except for a few waves of flesh on his body.
Li Xiaoguo thought of how to use the Hungry Ghost Dao to deal with Brother Deng, and woke up the little fat man with a few mouths left and right, looking at the fat face of the little fat man, he couldn't bear to do it. So he changed the shape of his hand and pinched the flesh on his face.
After the flesh on the little fat man's face was squeezed and deformed a few times, this guy suddenly bounced up and shouted, "Help, help, Brother Guo." β
Seeing this kid's panicked appearance, Li Xiaoguo patted his flesh shoulder and shouted, "It's okay, it's all done." Go home. β
Rubbing his little eyes vigorously, the little fat man looked around, looked at the calm balcony, and said with a confused face: "Uncle Wang? Shu Chun? Who ate whom? Or did we go to heaven together." β
Li Xiaoguo laughed and laughed, it's no wonder that the stupid and cute little fat man, the whole process from Uncle Wang's version of the zombie biting to the old man's appearance, this guy was lying on the ground the whole time.
"You get up first, I'll explain it to you as I go. Li Xiaoguo waved his hand at the little fat man and motioned for him to get up.
Maybe he was dizzy from being smashed by himself, or maybe he was lying down for too long, he tried to stand up and get up, but he sat back with all his body weak.
"Brother Guo, come over and help me, my whole body is wrong, I can't use my strength at all. The little fat man looked at Li Xiaoguo with a pitiful look.
"For the sake of you, you were very interesting just now, and for the sake of saving your brother and me, Brother pulled you. Li Xiaoguo reached out to pick up the little fat man's round body.
"Brother Guo!" the little fat man leaned his head on Li Xiaoguo's shoulder and looked at him with a happy expression.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't have the strength to carry you. β
"That's not what you mean, Brother Guo, you bet with that old man for a 5-minute competition, is it time?"
"Bet?" Li Xiaoguo heard the fat man's words, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, when I made a bet with the old man, this guy should have fainted on the ground and didn't know what was right.
His brain turned very fast, and he wanted to push the fat man out of his hand with his backhand, but just when he made a move, he felt a cold back, and the little fat man inserted a thin silver needle into his neck.
Li Xiaoguo was dizzy for a while, and his hands and feet fell to the ground weakly.
The little fat man laughed at him, clapped his hands and said, "Lose, it's just 5 minutes." β
"You, you're not a little fat man. Li Xiaoguo's body couldn't move, and he gritted his teeth and said to the pounding and jumping little fat man.
"Haha, young man, I'll just say you're too tender. The little fat man's face was distorted and deformed, and his body slowly became rickety, and he gradually became another person, but it was not the white-bearded old man who first became Uncle Wang and then bet with him.
