82. The eighty-second talisman
Zhou Tong made an appointment with Master Chen, and Master Chen brought the child to his store.
The aura in Zhoutong's store is sufficient, and the magic can get twice the result with half the effort.
The child's complexion was even worse than the last time he saw it, Zhou Tong touched his face, and put a Big Dipper talisman on the child's forehead, the child flattened his mouth, and fell into a deep sleep in Master Chen's arms.
Zhou Tong put the child's birthday on the lotus lantern and lit it, and the cigarette fluttered left and right on the top of the lotus lantern, gradually drifting to the child's body, building a bridge between the lotus lantern and the child.
This lotus lamp is quiet, naturally can be connected to the ghost in the child's body, generally speaking, the ghost attached to the child's body is not easy to call, when the mother is pregnant in October, it is almost entangled with the soul of the child's body, once you don't pay attention, it is possible to bring out the child's soul together, and the average warlock does not dare to take this diamond diamond at all, which is also the reason why Li Wei is worried about Zhou Tong.
The lotus lamp spontaneously combusted without fire, and a faint strange smell gradually emanated in the air, Zhou Tong sat idly reading a book on the side, and Master Chen, who was holding the child, asked worriedly: "Mr. Zhou, is it okay?"
"It's fine. Zhou Tong said, "The lotus lantern is burning the soul, just wait a minute." โ
"Well......" Master Chen was still a little uneasy, he looked at the mist connected between the child and the lotus lantern worriedly, the child suddenly moved, Master Chen was busy coaxing, but saw that the child opened his eyes and looked into the air, a pair of bright eyes looked at the air without blinking.
He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab something, Zhou Tong put down the book and looked at it, the child's eyes reflected the appearance of a ghost, it was the remnant soul entangled in his soul who was making the final struggle, Zhou Tong recited the incantation, the words on the Big Dipper star talisman on his forehead flickered, and a few vermilion characters trembled for a moment, and all the remaining remnant souls were sent into the netherworld path where the lotus lantern was turned on.
The faint purple flame in the lotus lamp burned for a moment and then extinguished, and the strange smell in the air gradually faded.
The child slept peacefully in Master Chen's arms.
Zhou Tong handed a jade pendant to Master Chen and said, "I have calculated that this jade pendant is very compatible with his birthday, Master Chen can take it, I can accumulate some blessings for him." The question I said earlier is not alarmist, and I hope that Master Chen can be mentally prepared in advance. โ
Master Chen gratefully accepted the jade pendant and thanked Zhou Tong again and again.
Zhou Tong smiled and jokingly said, "Master Chen is the biggest thank you to me for being able to make a fish for me." โ
"Okay. Master Chen said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to like fish so much, and recently Xiao Wei has become fond of eating fish." โ
Zhou Tong frowned when he heard this, and seemed to think of how the familiar aura on Li Wei's body came from.
Zhou Tong asked, "May I ask why Master Chen's surname is Chen, but your son's surname is Li?"
"Oh, yes. Master Chen explained, "Xiao Wei is the son of a good friend of mine, and that child also has a hard life, his parents died in a car accident when he was very young, and no one in his family was willing to take care of him, and he also designed to swallow his parents' property, which was very bad for him. I saw that Yu Xin couldn't bear it, so I passed Xiao Wei to my house and raised me as my son. โ
"I see. Zhou Tong nodded, and asked again, "Who did Li Wei learn those strange arts?"
"Didn't talk to anyone. Master Chen said, "He has loved to ponder these things since he was a child, and he has become more obsessed with a compass since he got a compass from nowhere. This thing is mysterious and elusive, and I'm really afraid he won't be able to handle it. Speaking of which, Master Chen said, "Is Serena okay?"
"It's fine at the moment. Zhou Tong said to Master Chen seriously, "But that compass is not ordinary, if possible, Master Chen should persuade Li Wei to use that compass less." โ
"Ahh Master Chen hurriedly nodded in agreement, "I will definitely tell Xiao Wei carefully when I go back." โ
Zhou Tong thought for a while and said, "Although it is a little abrupt, can I trouble Mr. Chen to help me make a plate of fish now?"
"Absolutely. Master Chen readily agreed, "As long as there are materials, it's fine." โ
"If you want any materials, I'll prepare them now. Zhou Tong said.
Master Chen made a list for Zhou Tong, and Ling Yuan took the list away directly and said to Zhou Tong, "Money." โ
Zhou Tong gave him the โกโก, and Ling Yuan went out with the โกโก and the list.
Tianyan Zhentan Mu was almost stunned, and he kept trembling on the table.
When did the Jade Xuanjun they respect fall to the point of running errands for people...... Still willingly, this world is terrible!
Half an hour later, Ling Yuan came back and bought all the things on the list.
Zhou Tong often has a family at home, and the kitchen is fully equipped, so Chef Chen made a delicious grilled fish in Zhou Tong's kitchen.
In the evening, as soon as it got dark, Zhou Tong took a taxi to Long Street.
The puppet cat is still hiding in N University and has not left, and its breath has been lingering around there.
Zhou Tong went directly to N University, but found a lot of fish residues on the road, which were placed there early and late, and they were all eaten by wild cats.
"It was really Li Wei who whistled to help the puppet cat that day. Zhou Tong said.
He rushed to the campus of N University, and set up a carefully made zuรฒ smoked fish in the same place that day, and in order to alleviate the suspicion of the puppet cat, he specially arranged the mess that someone had forgotten to clean up after eating there.
He hid in the shadows, quietly waiting for the cat.
But after waiting for more than 20 minutes, the cat did not appear, and there was a sudden change in the grass, Zhou Tong hurriedly cheered up and looked over, but saw a little couple shaking out, the man pressed the woman on the tree, kissed very hard, and the girl could be heard moaning slightly from afar.
Ling Yuan, who had been closing his eyes and concentrating, frowned when he heard the voice and opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the couple, and he was a little distracted.
Zhou Tong pushed Ling Yuan and said, "Don't look at it, it's rude." โ
"Oh. Ling Yuan then set his eyes on Zhou Tong, I don't know why he remembered the feeling he once felt when he kissed Zhou Tong, at that time, he simply wanted to absorb pure qi from Zhou Tong's mouth, there was nothing in his mind, his movements were done in one go, and he didn't even feel anything when he kissed, he really regretted it...... What would it feel like if you kissed him again now? His gaze couldn't help but fall on Zhou Tong's lips, and the corners of those lips naturally hooked slightly, as if he was naturally smiling, and with that little upward arc, Ling Yuan's heart was tickled.
His Adam's apple rolled down, and his dark eyes were calm and a little longing.
Zhou Tong coughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Ling Yuan didn't respond, and continued to stare at Zhou Tong's lips without saying a word.
Ah, I want to kiss him, I really want to kiss him.
The inner drama was surging into a vast ocean, but Ling Yuan just looked at Zhou Tong expressionlessly.
Zhou Tong: "......"
At this moment, someone suddenly walked up the lover slope, and Zhou Tong turned his head to look.
It's coming, it's the breath of a puppet cat.
The man was wearing a large trench coat and a woolen hat, and a large knitted scarf covering most of his face. He slowly walked up the lover's slope, quietly approached the plate of fish that Zhou Tong placed on the stone bench, and pretended to be just an ordinary passer-by along the way, looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he sat on the stone bench with his butt, grabbed the plate of fish and stuffed it into his arms.
The more Zhou Tong looked at it, the more funny he felt.
No one is greedy to such an extent, no wonder there was a saying that "a fish kills a litter of cats", so you can be fooled......
The puppet cat ran away after holding the fish, and did not look back, the body was probably newly made, and it was not quite adaptable, and its steps staggered, and the whole body showed a strange distorted state.
Zhou Tong let it take the food.
After a while, he took out a copper coin, which kept buzzing in Zhou Tong's palm, and was thrown away by Zhou Tong casually, and went into the distance.
This is the frog money.
There is a record of the story of "the green worm repays the money" in "Huainanzi Wanbishu": "With its children and mothers, they are placed in the urn, buried under the eastbound Yin Wall, and reopened in three days, that is, they follow each other, and they are coated with eighty-one coins with the blood of the mother, and eighty-one coins are also painted with the blood of the son. โ
The child and mother frog are attractive, and the child will naturally go to the mother money.
In the fish dish just now, Zhou Tong specially added the blood of the female green worm, and this copper coin stained with the green worm will naturally chase the female green worm.
Humans have killed a lot of puppet cats has long become a feud, puppet cats can't still trust humans, Zhou Tong thinks he doesn't have the affinity to break the feud between the two parties, and can't help but ask the source of prayer power from the mouth of the puppet cat, but with this method, he can find out the purpose of the puppet cat.
Next, it is very likely that the doll cat will go to the stone tablet to retrieve the longevity power that has been turned into prayer power.
The power of prayer can only last for a period of time, just like human hope, once there is no feedback, it will decrease day by day, and the prayer power that is transformed into a living force will naturally not be able to reach the heavens, and without the protection of the gods, it will definitely gradually decrease with the hope of the prayer person.
If you don't take it in the next few days, I'm afraid that those powers will come to naught, and he deliberately removed the spell on the stone tablet to protect the power of prayer today, just to see if the doll cat will take a risk.
As a result, Zhou Tong guessed correctly, and not long after the puppet cat took the fish, he rushed to the stone tablet.
It carried most of the fish in its mouth and flew all the way through the shadows of no one, came to the stone tablet, rolled the immortal power formed on its tail, and then flicked its tail and quickly ran away in one direction.
The speed of the puppet cat is extremely fast, so fast that people can only see a shadow, Zhou Tong ** mortal fetus can't keep up, Ling Yuan recited the incantation, and the two of them floated up, and they actually floated.
Zhou Tong jokingly said: "Newton would cry angrily in the coffin if he saw it." โ
Ling Yuan didn't know who Newton was at all, so he didn't say anything, the air flow under his feet surged, and he flew up with Zhou Tong around Zhou Tong's waist.
Zhou Tong was speechless at this moment: "Hey, wouldn't this be too ostentatious...... "If others see them, will they think they are perverted......
Ling Yuan: "I don't have an imperial sword yet." โ
"......" Zhou Tong compromised.
The two of them followed the puppet cat closely with the coin, and the coin coated with the blood of the green worm was well unexposed under Zhou Tong's control, and the puppet cat also thought that he had thrown off a person who might have followed him at a super fast speed.
He led Zhou all the way to the suburbs.
The puppet cat led them further and further away, and finally stopped in a place that was about to be demolished.
It was a desolate place, with polluting gases emitting from the chimneys of factories not far away, dim yellow lights flickering and damp in the air.
The weeds were overgrown and there was a thin layer of ice on the ground.
The puppet cat quickly stopped in place, it still had most of the fish in its mouth, after putting the fish down, it stood up with its hind limbs, and its forelimbs were pulling something on the ground, and the wet but cold soil was turned over by it, and it didn't take long to dig out a stone slab, and the puppet cat lifted the stone slab open, revealing a mud pit.
In the pit were a few palm-sized kittens.
The little kittens curled up together, snuggled up to each other, with a thick layer of straw under their bodies, unlike the damp soil around them, the grass was dry and warm, and the little kittens opened their eyes and meowed at the mother doll cat, and the doll cat tore the fish into small pieces and fed them all to the little doll cats in the nest.
Zhou Tong was seeing this scene when they arrived.
"It turned out to be for its children......" Zhou Tong looked at the little puppet cats that crawled out of the nest, those puppet cats were very small, sparse hair, very unhealthy, the yang fire was weak, and the qi floating above the head was so light that it would disperse as soon as the wind blew, and it really needed the power of immortality to continue life.
After eating the fish, several little puppet cats rolled on top of each other, and the mother doll cat separated them one by one into the pit, and then threw the immortal power wrapped in the tail, and it coiled its big fluffy tail around the pit, and the words in its mouth, those fluorescent immortal power integrated into the body of the little puppet cats, warming their thin bodies.
"What should I do......" Zhou Tong said embarrassedly, "I can't bear it, but I can't let it continue to steal, there are too many people in this city praying to that stone monument." โ
After the little ones had absorbed all the soft light, the mother doll cat put away her tail, and she covered the little kitten with a slate of stone, buried it in the earth, and covered it tightly.
It lay on top of the dirt, clumped together, and looked around vigilantly, beware of someone who might hurt its child.
Zhou Tong said: "When it is gone, I will take a look at the situation of the little puppet cat, if the little puppet cat can be cured, it will not have to continue to steal prayer power, and the problem will be solved at that time." However......" Zhou Tong's gaze crossed the puppet cat and landed not far behind the puppet cat, "I still have to deal with one person first." โ
Standing there was Li Wei.
The qi on Li Wei's body is too light, he has almost no cultivation, not much different from ordinary people, Zhou Tong can hardly feel the qi on his body, until Li Wei used the power of the compass just now, Zhou Tong didn't notice that Li Wei didn't know when he had been following the puppet cat.
However, Li Wei did not know his existence.
Li Wei's eyes were locked on the puppet cat, the compass he held in his hand emitted a faint black light, and the three stitches in the sewing were moving together, as if he was like a hideous ghost in the night, roaring in a low voice.
The puppet cat sensed the breath, and it stood up and looked at Li Wei.
"You're here. The puppet cat looked at Li Wei with heavy eyes and said, "Give me another year, and after a year, these children will grow up, and all the longevity power will be given to you." โ
Li Wei didn't speak, he walked over to the doll cat and asked, "What about your children, how are they?"
The mantra engraved on the back of the bronze mirror can transform the power of prayer into the power of immortality, which is the secret of the Buddha's mother, Yixi Tsogyal, who received the worship of immortality by 10,000 people. However, Li Wei was willing to reveal this to the puppet cat, and the puppet cat also had doubts in his heart, so he did not expose the child's location to Li Wei.
After a long time, Li Wei didn't do anything to the puppet cat, so he let down the puppet cat's vigilance a little.
However, human beings are evil after all, and he does not trust Li Wei.
As soon as he heard Li Wei ask about the little puppet cat, the puppet cat did not answer, it casually moved its body away, trying to divert Li Wei's attention from its feet: "They are very good, don't worry about you." โ
"I don't want to worry either. "I just want to know where they are." โ
The puppet cat sensed Li Wei's malice, arched his back, and stared at Li Wei vigilantly.
The compass in Li Wei's hand suddenly buzzed, and a wisp of red thread appeared on each of the thirteen-layer dial, pointing to the land not far in front of the cat's feet, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious.
The puppet cat chirped and pounced before Li Wei made a move, Li Wei's reaction couldn't keep up, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block, but the puppet cat bit his forearm fiercely and tore off a piece of meat violently.
Blood gushed out, Li Wei gasped in pain, he held the compass high and smashed it on the top of the puppet cat's head, and the thunder fire exploded from the compass, hitting the top of the puppet cat's head, the puppet cat shrank its head, but the expected pain did not come, it took a closer look, but found that the thunder fire stopped in front of him, and suddenly extinguished without moving.
"What person?!" Li Wei shouted, and saw Zhou Tong walking out from the side, Li Wei's brows frowned, his eyes rolled, and said, "Mr. Zhou! You came just in time, this puppet cat stole the prayer power of our city, and we caught it together!"
"I know. Zhou Tong said coldly.
Although he heard Zhou Tong say this, Li Wei could see that Zhou Tong had no intention of helping him at all, Li Wei sneered and said, "It's really a vase." โ
After Li Wei finished speaking, he shook the compass, and the second layer of the Heavenly Stem and Earth Branch Plate was lifted up to the first layer, and thousands of needles appeared on the compass, all of which were bubbling with black gas, all pointing to the puppet cat.
As Li Wei shouted, the black needles shot at the puppet cat, Zhou Tong shook the five thunder talismans, and the blazing fire immediately burned those black needles into flying ashes.
Seeing this, Li Wei knew that he had underestimated Zhou Tong, changed his mind, and changed his words: "Since you have real skills, why do you help this puppet cat? Do you want to let her steal the prayer power of the entire city? Do you know what the prayer power means?!"
"I know, but the Tao is not the same. Zhou Tong's gaze fell on Li Wei's compass, and he was going to destroy this compass.
"The Tao is different?" Li Wei quibbled, "our purpose is the same. โ
"No, your purpose is the heart of the little puppet cat, right?" Zhou Tong said in a word, directly debunking Li Wei's purpose.
Li Wei's face turned pale, and when he saw through his thoughts, he didn't struggle anymore, and he explained: "Yes! But so what? These little puppet cats can't survive and they are third-class beasts, so what if I take them to continue my brother's life? You and I are both human beings, why do you want to help these beasts and not help our kind?!"
"I'm sorry. Zhou Tong looked at Li Wei with a smile, but there was no smile in those eyes, as if he was hiding the midwinter wind and snow, and he was indifferent, "You are the beast." โ
Li Wei: "......"
Li Wei's eyes were red with anger, but he had long lost his mind.
The black qi on the compass wrapped around Li Wei's body, and his eyes were filled with a strange red light.
Li Wei recited the mantra, the compass in his hand flew high in the heights, conjuring lightning and thunder, the clouds were overpowering, countless flying needles were hidden between the clouds, and the powerful yin qi made the plants on the ground wither quickly, and the already decaying ground was even more oppressive and dead.
Zhou Tong threw out the Yang Chapter, and two wisps of qi emanated from the Yang Chapter, like the arms of a giant, raising up the clouds above his head.
Li Wei was taken aback, he didn't expect that this move could also be blocked by Zhou Tong lightly, and suddenly there was a sense of helplessness in his donkey skills, he panicked in his heart, but his heart hurt suddenly, as if his heart was torn, Li Wei fell to his knees and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Ahh
The ground that had been so tightly buried by the doll cat suddenly exploded open, and even the stone slab covering the kitten was shattered into slag.
The little doll cat was frightened and cried, and they all crawled towards the mother doll cat.
The evil ghost entrenched in the compass grabbed three or five little puppet cats casually, turned into a sharp breath and stabbed at the chest of the little puppet cat, wanting to directly pull out the heart from it!
However, in the next moment, the Yin Qi was completely frozen, and the Yin Spirit who was prostrate on the ground raised its head and glared angrily at the person who stopped him.
What caught his eyes was Zhou Tong's cold eyes like ice, and this pair of yin souls knew that they had no hope.
But he was not reconciled! He finally found such an opportunity, as long as it eats the heart of these little doll cats, it does not have to be entrenched on the compass, and he is worried that it will be lost all day long, and it may even become a demon one day, and it is not impossible to shape the human body again.
But it's going to fall short!
He stretched out his hand and tried to reach the compass in mid-air, and the moment his qi touched the compass, the compass he had relied on for many years suddenly collapsed, shattered to the point that there was no scum left.
Zhou Tong spat out flames slightly in his mouth, and the incantation of the Nine Phoenix Breaking Talisman was in his mouth, he squatted down an inch in front of the Yin Spirit, as long as the Yin Soul reached out a little, he could touch his place and whispered, "Let's go." โ
The next moment, Jiufeng poured out of Zhou Tong's mouth, and the raging flames devoured the Yin Soul to the slightest, and it screamed in the flames, and the already erratic soul was burned by the blazing Yang Fire of Jiufeng.
Out of one's wits.
The flames reflected Zhou Tong's cold eyes.
Without the compass to rely on, Li Wei endured a sharp pain in his heart, and suddenly got up from the ground and pounced on the little puppet cat, he also wanted to catch a little puppet cat, at least so that his younger brother could live for a few more years, he didn't want to see the sad faces of his adoptive parents. Even if Master Li and his wife are good to him, he knows that he is just an adopted son, and it is their children who can really make the second elder happy.
Master Li and his wife were very good to him, allowing him to grow up like an ordinary boy, and he didn't want to disappoint his adoptive parents no matter what.
At the moment when he was about to touch the little puppet cat, the female puppet cat stopped in front of him, scratched off with one paw, and directly scratched Li Wei's face, drawing deep blood marks.
Li Wei screamed, covered his face and fell backwards again and again, his eyes were full of blood, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.
The female doll cat scratched Li Wei's eyes this time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see anything in the future.
In the darkness, Li Wei felt that someone helped him up, and a cold voice sounded in his ears, and he heard Zhou Tong say: "It is nonsense that the heart of the little puppet cat can help people live. โ
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried in despair.
