Chapter 326: Scarlet Sky
Take the talisman as the vein, the blood as the medium, and the spell as the enlightenment.
The forbidden spell has more "blood as a medium" than ordinary secret arts, and this so-called "blood as a medium" does not act as a medium for the circulation of spiritual power, but a channel to build a link between people and the formation. Essentially, the reason why the current Onmyoji can't use forbidden spells is more of a problem with spiritual power than a lack of understanding.
And this "blood as a medium" is to make up for it with the life and even soul energy of the Onmyoji in the case of insufficient spiritual power!
Scarlet blood flowed from Claude and Vivien's wrists, accompanied by strange spells with syllables, building veins on the ground as if they had come to life. The cumbersome but strangely beautiful sigil gradually formed on the ground, and the massive blood loss made the two of them pale, but when the last stream of blood completed the spell seal, Claude and Vivien's faces flushed sickly.
For a moment, the whistling mountain wind and the strange roar seemed to be far away from everyone at once, and only the strange syllables but hidden rhythmic chant sounded in their ears.
"Retreat!"
With Claude's loud shout, Fifth Xuan and the others who were in front of him immediately retreated. I saw that the rune array on the ground suddenly emitted a scarlet light, and then, in the sky, as if reflected, a blood-colored array appeared out of thin air!
Such a scene made the group of aliens also realize that something was wrong, but their bloodthirsty nature made them not choose to retreat, and one of the most vicious-looking aliens stood up at this time, and let out a violent roar at the fifth jade and the others, and then all the aliens seemed to be instructed, and all rushed towards them.
Fifth Xuan stepped forward. Stand in front of everyone just in case. No one doubts the power of forbidden arts, but there are also different types of forbidden arts. In the face of this group of unknown aliens, whether this forbidden spell can have an effect on them or not. Even Claude and Vivien can't guarantee it 100 percent......
As the aliens got closer, everyone's faces became more grim. At this moment, a low but drum-like sound suddenly rose in the hearts of everyone. The large array of blood light in mid-air spun violently, and then Claude and Vivien snorted at the same time, and then their faces shriveled to the ground.
It's all happening in the midst of lightning, "Did it fail?" Before such a thought could arise, I saw a blood-colored array in mid-air slowly fall like the first snow. However, it is not correct to say that it is slow, and it is only a matter of moments from the beginning to the fall. But in people's vision, in their minds, there is a feedback of "slowly falling".
At this time, the scene is a little strange, the aliens seem to be petrified and stop on the way, or as if the space they are in is imprisoned, because there is not even the inertia that it should have. The few who rushed to the front, the closest to the fifth jade and the others, the cruel smiles on their faces hadn't even had time to change.
Blood! Blood! Blood!
The next scene turned the faces of everyone present turned pale, and blood spilled from the alien's wounds, even if it was just bruises. Blood, as if it has a consciousness of its own, and desperately wants to leave the master's body...... The first drop of blood oozes out. And then...... Next, all the aliens shrouded in the forbidden art, blood spurted out violently from the aliens' bodies as if they had been strongly squeezed by some kind of force.
A true Scarlet Rose! However, the people who actually saw it would never connect with it. The wound burst with bloody arrows, and the ruptured capillaries poured out bursts of blood mist that filled the mountain path. Built to last...... Any normal person will only feel disgusting at this time!
The tragic scene made everyone lose their minds for a while. So much so that the blood mist drifted by, and he forgot to block it with spiritual power. Until the blood dyed everyone's pale faces red, and the strong smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves......
"Let's go!" Fifth Xuan let out a deep snort. Wake up the people who have lost their minds. Fortunately, although the onmyoji have not experienced such a bloody formation, they are all top-notch in terms of psychological endurance. Even the first time I saw this kind of scene, I quickly calmed down after the initial shock.
Everyone looked at each other, and then evacuated one after another. Fifth Xuan paused slightly as he passed by Fifth Jade, but he didn't speak. But Wen Tianhong patted Fifth Jade on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Come early!"
Fifth Jade nodded, and then looked at the other side with a calm face. The power of the forbidden technique is indeed amazing, but it does not have enough impact on the situation of the battle. The narrow mountain path helped the Fifth Jade successfully block the attack of the aliens, and similarly, when the forbidden technique was activated, due to the limited number of aliens that could come over, the damage caused was not optimistic compared to the total number of aliens.
The blood mist gradually dissipated, and the death of the same kind made the remaining aliens even more violent, and the first few aliens appeared in the fifth jade's field of vision, and their eyes were not red alien lights, but red bloodshots! There is no fear of death just now, and the alien who walks step by step, the heavy steps indicate a more decisive meaning.
Fifth Jade turned her head, but her calm eyes didn't make people feel a hint of retreat. Take off your windbreaker to keep out the cold, this is not a movie, it's a life-and-death fight! Everything that affects the action should be excluded!
The right hand was held weakly, and a slender but sharp Tang knife was formed in the hand. The fifth jade swordsmanship is excellent, but in the real battlefield, the sword is the most suitable weapon. Compared with other types of knives, the Tang knife, a weapon that is good at slashing and killing, and can use it to perform some swordsmanship, is the best choice.
In fact, all this was not consciously chosen by the fifth jade, but subconsciously accomplished. At this time, the fifth jade was in a special state, and his heart was as calm as water.
"If the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they will not be hurt."
This is a Zen saying of Buddhism, and it is also a kind of realm.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the fifth jade has really reached this realm. Even true Buddhist monks need to stay away from the world in order to barely maintain this state of mind. And the current Fifth Jade is just trying his best to move his state of mind in this direction.
So, on the rugged and narrow mountain road, the fifth jade ushered in the most unequal battle in his life......
……
Leo and May's faces were a little ugly, and they hadn't heard a single piece of good news since they arrived at headquarters. First of all, the news of the fifth jade that they are most concerned about, Mr. actually entered the black area more than half a month ago, and there has been no news so far.
Secondly, after coming to the headquarters, the place where they used to live suddenly became unfamiliar. The original companions are gone, and it is said that they have been evacuated as the first people. The once bustling town is no longer what it used to be, the familiar uncles and aunts in memory are gone, and the streets are full of armies coming and going.
And they, who were originally sent to overseas bases as the second group of personnel after gathering at the headquarters, are now stranded at the headquarters for unknown reasons.
It is said that the reason is unknown, but it is not difficult to guess. There are only two reasons for this change, one is that there is a new situation on the other side of the Jellef Mountain, and the second is what the government is doing!
After all, these are the only two situations that can affect the original planning of Headquarters.
And judging from the current situation, the second reason is more likely! For example, the military vehicles that came and went on the streets, and the patrols that popped up around the manor from time to time......
"Something must have happened!" Leo slapped his thigh hatefully, although the government personnel outside did not have any drastic behavior, and even spoke very kindly, but it still made him feel that something was wrong.
Mei bit her lip, she couldn't understand what the Elder was doing this. All the Onmyoji in the headquarters, including several patriarchs, were all brought into the black area by the guild leader. That is to say, there is hardly a single person with enough weight in the current Onmyoji Headquarters.
Onmyoji and the government have always been two individuals, and it seems that they should not give their backs to each other so thoroughly!
"I've come to my senses." Facing everyone's questions, old Jerry said lightly.
"In fact, it's not just me, it's all of us who should be enlightened by this!" Jerry Sr. paused, then said, "We are not politicians, and we must not forget the purpose of our existence. ”
Several patriarchs were dumbfounded after hearing this, as old Jerry said, the meaning of the existence of the Onmyoji is to eliminate demons, and it has nothing to do with any ruling class.
Jerry Sr. continued: "Even the oldest cooperation treaty is a minor matter. Before that treaty, wouldn't the Onmyoji get rid of the demons? Hehe, to put it bluntly, it's just a product of human desire. ”
"We are not saints, and naturally we have our own desires, but I hope that you will not be blinded by desires and filthiness in this situation, and never forget the meaning of our existence! Is it because the government has been slow to send reinforcements? But if you think about it, what if there were no them at all? Wouldn't we be here? At that time, we were not on our own! ”
Old Jerry's words were reasonable, but it wasn't until the last sentence that everyone was completely convinced.
"We are Onmyoji, so let's get rid of demons, that's all."
There are three kinds of people who can really achieve this level, one is the one who is fully enlightened, the other is the absolutely rational person, and the third is the third type, the person who knows himself completely!
He doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand, the benefits and influences behind those various behaviors, he only knows the Dao, as an onmyoji, the choice he should make at this time!
"That'...... What now? An elder asked in a heavy tone.
Old Jerry did not answer, but stood up and said to himself:
"It should be coming soon......" (To be continued......)
