Chapter 48: The Ritual of Purification

The four of them rested in this luxurious villa for a good morning, and at noon, Zhang Ye, Daria and Matt pushed the door open.

The three of them chatted for a few words and walked to the kitchen to get ready for a bite to eat.

Marianne's bedroom was silent, and as the main caster of the blessing prayer before, she did expend a lot of energy. The three of them ate something and went back to the living room to listen to Matt's braggadocio while waiting for Marianne to finish.

After a while, the door of Marianne's room opened, and Marianne, who had rested, stepped out.

Although she wanted to change her clothes before, now she is still wearing the same black dress as before, but the pattern of the neckline and skirt is slightly different.

"Good afternoon, Sister Maria. ”

"Good afternoon, too, let's go, go outside to the lake. ”

Several people greeted each other, and Marianne called the three out of the villa.

Walking to the artificial lake in front of the villa, the four stopped in front of the white pebble lake.

"That's it, the high-level purification technique needs to be carried out through the purification ritual, it can actually be effective without blessing prayer, but without the blessing prayer to locate the location of the curse, the purification ritual will take at least seven days to officially start to take effect, and few people can stick to it for such a long time. ”

"In general, purification rituals are used to cleanse oneself of abnormalities with the help of nature, and are usually used to drive away curses, dissolve magical erosion, and perform sacred rituals. ”

Marianne explained the relevant knowledge of the purification ceremony to a few people, then pulled Zhang Ye to the lake, stretched out her hand and tried it, the lake water was a little cold.

"Andrey, go into the lake, carry out the preparatory steps of the purification ceremony, purify the body. ”

When Zhang Ye heard this, his legs were so weak that he almost didn't have a pestle into the lake.

Purify, exorcise a curse, why do you want to castrate me?

Marianne looked at Zhang Ye next to her with a strange expression and said:

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just a shower, what's wrong with you, you're starting to think cranky again?"

Marianne's explanation made Zhang Ye breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you want to go in directly, or do you want to... Zhang Ye pointed to his clothes.

Marianne saw Zhang Ye's movements and glanced at him.

"Just take off your shoes, let the water go over your head when you hear my command, and if you can't hold it, you can come up and change your breath and continue to hold it in the water, no way, who let your curse be in your head. ”

Zhang Ye took off his shoes according to Marianne's instructions, and then walked towards the crystal clear artificial lake in front of him.

The lake is slightly cool, but it is not a problem for Zhang Ye, who is currently in good health, the bottom of the lake is not very deep, under Marianne's signal, he walked all the way to the middle of the artificial lake, where the depth of the water is just up to his neck, if it is not above his head, he has to bend his knees.

Seeing that Zhang Ye was already in place, Marianne took her staff and began to arrange the magic circle needed for the purification ceremony.

For various reasons, the circle of the purification ritual did not yet have a simple version printed on paper, so it had to be arranged by Marianne herself.

I saw her raise her staff and chant the incantation loudly, and a huge pentagram covered the entire artificial lake, and then Marianne slowly walked around the artificial lake, shaking the staff with one hand, and drawing runes condensed by magic with the other hand and imprinted on the blank space of the pentagram.

This circle took a long time, and Marianne also rested once in the middle, and when Marianne circled back to the same place again, the last rune condensation was completed, and the imprint was completed, and the entire pentagram began to shine gradually from the outer circle.

"Right now, let the lake go over your head. ”

Marianne shouted at Zhang Ye.

Hearing this, Zhang Ye quickly took a deep breath, and then sat cross-legged at the bottom of the lake.

The slightly cool lake water did not pass overhead, Zhang Ye looked up, even if the light was distorted by the lake, he could still see that the pentagram on the surface of the lake was flickering with silver-white light as if breathing.

Marianne stood by the lake, saw that Zhang Ye had already entered the lake, picked up the staff, and began to chant the incantation loudly.

As Marianne cast the spell, several people saw that the surrounding vitality quickly condensed into mist, pouring into the runes in the pentagram array, and the runes changed from silver to turquoise after being highly condensed after the vitality was infused.

One by one, the runes were transformed, and Zhang Ye, who was under the water, only felt that the vitality content in the lake water had risen sharply, as if he was bound by something, and it did not dissipate into heaven and earth, but became thicker and thicker.

It wasn't until the vitality had turned the entire lake turquoise that Marianne had transformed all the runes in the pentagram into turquoise runes full of vitality.

During this period, Zhang Ye couldn't hold his breath a few times and stood up for a change, and he didn't care about anything else, and quickly returned to sit underwater after changing his breath.

The water was not deep, but Zhang Ye obviously felt that the pressure in the lake was increasing, and the lake with vitality began to center on him, slowly forming a whirlpool.

"Andrey. ”

Hearing Marianne's voice, Zhang Ye stood up from the water.

Exhaling the turbid air in his lungs, Zhang Ye wiped his face.

"What's wrong, Sister Marianne. ”

"The purification is complete, you come up and rest for a while, and then it's the important stage of purifying the curse, I have to talk to you about a few points. ”

"Okay, I'll come up now. ”

After replying, Zhang Ye walked towards the shore step by step, the lake was still circling around the place where he was sitting just now, which made it take him a little time to go ashore.

Back on the shore, Daria handed Zhang Ye a towel and a blanket, Zhang Ye took the towel and wiped his wet hair, thanked Daria, and waved his hand to Daria to indicate that he could not use the blanket.

His physique is really good now, at least he won't feel cold because he is wearing wet clothes.

"By the way, the purification ritual won't hurt the creatures in the lake, right?"

Zhang Ye remembered the turning current he had just seen under the water with a few small fish scurrying, and somehow remembered this question.

"You're still in the mood to worry about something else, don't worry, in addition to being a little dizzy, the purification ritual is only good for those small fish and shrimp. ”

"Alright, Matt, you go inside and get some food, get some more. ”

Matt turned around and went into the house to get food.

Zhang Ye was also trying to carry the qi and blood of his whole body, and after a while, the water on his body also evaporated and dried up.

Eating the food Matt had brought out, Marianne said to a few people:

"The main purpose of purification is to unclog the pores of your whole body through the stimulation of vitality, which will increase the speed of your absorption of vitality and speed up the purification ritual. ”

"Then comes the most important stage of the exorcism of the curse, neither André nor I can be disturbed until the curse is expelled, and little Daria and Matt are responsible for preventing the chaotic people from suddenly breaking into the villa area and interrupting the purification ceremony. ”

"Okay, Sister Marianne, we won't let anyone disturb you. The two of them patted their chests and promised.

"Then there's Andre, you need to eat more, and you'll have to stay in the purification circle for about two days to dispel the curse, so save up some energy now, so don't faint from hunger and cause the ritual to fail. ”

"What's more, although the vitality energy in the purification circle is already very mild, since your curse is rooted in your brain, you must always pay attention to the movement of the vitality energy when dispelling the curse, so as not to hurt your brain, and remind me loudly whenever there is a problem, I will stop immediately. ”

"I see, Sister Marianne, thank you for your hard work. ”

After Marianne gave instructions to a few people, when Zhang Ye couldn't eat anymore, she was officially ready to start expelling the curse of the calamity nightmare in Zhang Ye's body.

Daria and Matt guarded the path into the villa area, while Zhang Ye returned to the center of the whirlpool of the lake.

When everything was ready, Marianne closed her eyes and recited a few incantations.

"The eye of perception, open. As Marianne's words fell, a huge silver eye appeared above her head, staring straight at Zhang Ye's head in the middle of the artificial lake without a trace of emotion.

Marianne began to recite the incantation again.

"Purification Circle, Kai. Marianne waved her staff, and a magical power from the top of the staff shot straight into the center of the pentagram above Zhang Ye's head

Seeing the light of the pentagram flashing, the whirlpool of the lake suddenly stopped, and then, a trace of vitality integrated into the lake water was drawn out of the lake, and the rich vitality formed a layer of turquoise mist above the lake surface under the pentagram.

Then, with a twist of the Marianne staff, a wrist-thick one was drawn out of those Yuan Qi mist, and it entered the lake again, wrapping Zhang Ye's head.

At this time, Zhang Ye, who was at the bottom of the lake, only felt that the water on the side of his head was suddenly discharged, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of condensed Yuan Qi mist, and before he could react, those Yuan Qi suddenly drilled into his facial features, and went straight to the curse of the Troubled Nightmare bound by the moon dew.

These were all seen by Marianne, who was standing by the lake, through the eye of perception, and sensed that the vitality had entered Zhang Ye's body, Marianne gestured again, and those vitality that entered Zhang Ye's body suddenly differentiated into a mass on the way forward, and each mass quickly turned into a hair-sized vitality needle, bypassing many dangers, passing through the moon dew bound with the curse, and stabbing directly at the cursed energy.

The curse energy, which had been quietly under the restraint of the moondew, was suddenly stabbed by the vitality needle, and began to surge again, which made the energy consumption of the moondew speed up a lot.

With a burst of stabbing blows, the vitality that entered Zhang Ye's body was quickly consumed, and the lack of cursed energy was not obvious enough, Marianne beckoned, and another wrist-thick vitality entered Zhang Ye's body.

This process lasted directly for a day and a half, and by the time Marian was too tired to stand, she sat directly by the lake and barely supported the purification circle, and there was not much vitality left in the previous circle.

Although the moondew energy has been so thin that it will dissipate at any time, the curse energy inside it is only a very small mass, and the energy tentacles that pierced into Zhang Ye's mind around it have also been dispersed one by one by the Yuan Qi needles carefully controlled by Marianne before, even if the curse energy is out of trouble at this time, it will not be able to have any impact on Zhang Ye.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye's nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
