Section 401: Totem
"You said you couldn't see us if you put on makeup? How is this possible? After Pu Zitong spoke, Zhang asked in disbelief.
"This is called totemism, since you don't fight, then wait until you avoid these ghosts and ghosts, and I'll tell you, my makeup totem is time-sensitive, and after a long time, its ghost-avoiding effect will disappear." After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong replied mysteriously.
"Totemism? Is it also a soul master's soul technique? Forget it, since you said it was useful, then I'll follow you, and you'll tell me what's going on when you get out. Seeing Pu Zitong's mysterious face, Zhang Su didn't say anything more, nodded, got up and followed Pu Zitong, leaning on each other and walking out.
Just as Pu Zitong walked out of the hotel with Zhang Su, the ghosts surrounding the hotel seemed to have sensed something, and they no longer approached the hotel slowly as before, but directly exploded and poured into the hotel.
The two ghosts at the main entrance rushed to the hotel lobby first, but when they passed by Pu Zitong and Zhang Su, they didn't seem to see these two people, and they passed by as if they were ignorant, and went straight to the hotel, looking around, completely spreading their soul power, as if they were looking for someone in a hurry.
"Didn't you come to us?" Zhang Su glanced at the two ghosts passing by him, and found that the two ghosts seemed to have completely ignored their existence, frowned and muttered, but after muttering, he did not stop immediately, but continued to follow Pu Zitong's side, strolling out, and after a while, he was far away from the hotel that had just finished checking out, out of the range of those ghosts' perception.
"How to get there?" When he walked to a wide street corner, Pu Zitong was still afraid that there were ghosts nearby, so he cautiously transmitted the sound and asked Zhang Weidao.
"We'll cross the street first, completely out of the range of ghosts, and then make a decision after we get to the bus stop in front of us." Zhang Su thought for a while, pointed to a bus stop not far across the road, and Chuanyin responded.
"Okay." After Zhang Su proposed, Pu Zitong nodded, and continued to walk forward across the road with Zhang Su, accompanied by the small crowd when he got up in the morning, and quickly took Zhang Su to the vicinity of the bus station, and found a morning tea house next to him to get in.
"What do you want, you guy......s, miss, did you just finish some show in this dress?" Just after Zhang Su and Pu Zitong entered the morning tea house, a female clerk with an apron on her waist greeted her with a smile and asked with a menu.
"Ah, sort of, I acted in a ghost totem play, and I haven't had time to remove my makeup." Pu Zitong replied with a slight smile.
"In this way, we have a bathroom here, young lady, you can use it first......" After Pu Zitong replied, although the female clerk didn't know what the so-called 'ghost totem' was, the curiosity in her eyes disappeared a lot, and she pointed to a small door in the store and prompted.
"Okay, thank you." Pu Zitong heard the female clerk
nodded to express his gratitude, and after thanking him, he didn't go to the bathroom immediately, but first took a menu with Zhang Su and looked at it, as if he was more anxious about eating.
"What do you order?" After avoiding the ghosts, Zhang Su looked at the menu leisurely, and was not worried that there would be ghosts chasing him, but he asked Pu Zitong as if he was worried about what to eat.
"Shrimp dumplings, beef stuffed rice noodles, glutinous rice chicken, soup dumplings, steamed pork ribs, preserved egg and lean pork porridge, well......, add another osmanthus cake." Pu Zitong had already read the menu, and after hearing Zhang Su's inquiry, he didn't discuss it with Zhang Su, and ordered it directly at the female clerk, and it was a series of things.
"So much? Will the two of us be able to finish eating? After listening to Pu Zitong's order, Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong with a surprised expression, and asked with a wry smile.
"The food here is exquisite, but the portion is not large, so you can eat it all naturally, and these are not for two people, it is all for me to eat alone, if you want to order something, you can call it yourself." Hearing Zhang Su's inquiry, Pu Zitong shook his finger and said to Zhang Su.
"You ate it yourself? Well...... okay, then I'll order some too, boss, I want a shrimp dumpling, a glutinous rice chicken, and a bowl of pork bone corn soup, if it's not enough, I'll ask for it later. Zhang Su had morning tea for the first time, adhering to the principle of avoiding waste, and did not order a lot at once like Pu Zitong, but counted his own meals, first ordered a few refreshments that he wanted to try, and informed the waiter.
"Okay, this lady ordered a shrimp dumpling, a beef stuffed rice noodles ......" After Zhang Su also ordered, the female clerk checked the records in the notebook and confirmed to Zhang Su and Pu Zitong to avoid mistakes or omissions.
After confirming, the female clerk found a four-seater table for Zhang Su and Pu Zitong and arranged it, and when Zhang Su finished paying, the female clerk turned around and walked to the window where the hall and the back kitchen were connected, and handed the order to the inside, and the back kitchen prepared the order for Zhang and Pu Zitong.
The female clerk left, Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong with strange makeup, still felt a little strange, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to remove your makeup first?" ”
"No, the materials for this makeup are all made of special soul materials, and when you don't need it, you only need to use soul power to remove it, unlike ordinary makeup that needs to be specially removed, you see......" After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong shook his head, grinned, and then wiped his face with his hand soul power, and the strange powder disappeared, leaving a fresh light makeup, which made Pu Zitong's already small and beautiful face even more charming.
"I'll go, are you changing your face? How? Seeing that Pu Zitong wiped the whitewash off his face with one hand, Zhang Su felt very magical and asked puzzled.
"I said that this is not ordinary makeup, but the soul makeup in the ancient totem, I call it a makeup totem, in fact, it is a secret technique used by wizards in the past to exorcise ghosts and avoid ghosts
It worked, this time I was able to avoid those ghosts without fighting, and it was also achieved with the help of the curtain effect of this totem technique, otherwise those ghosts would not be blind and couldn't see us in front of us. Pu Zitong proudly explained to Zhang Su.
"Totemism? Is there still this kind of secret art in the soul master world? It's the first time I've heard of it. After listening to Pu Zitong's explanation, Zhang Su was still very curious.
"To be precise, this is not the secret soul technique of the soul master, but belongs to the ancient wizards, but the wizard disappeared in the long history of the soul exorcist very early, so the totem ghost and the method of exorcism also disappeared, some fell to the people, and some died out completely, my Pu family has always paid attention to collecting all kinds of soul exorcist secret techniques, this totem makeup is the remnant of my father once recovered from a farmer's hand, although most of the content of the ghost exorcism has been lost, but this method of avoiding ghosts with makeup is still preserved, I studied a little when I was bored, and I can use a bit or two. Seeing that Zhang was curious, Pu Zitong explained in detail.
"Can makeup really ward off ghosts?" Zhang Su asked with a frown, as if he had touched the door of a new world again.
"Ordinary women's makeup naturally can't exorcise ghosts, and it will damage the skin by some inferior cosmetics, but totem makeup is different from ordinary makeup, first of all, the material used in makeup, the material used in totem makeup is naturally made of special soul materials, according to the desired purpose, to choose the corresponding materials and different ratios, the desired effect will appear; The second is the pattern of makeup, totem makeup is drawn according to a fixed pattern of symbols, in which the pattern trend and color depth are exquisite, a little wrong, the effect will change dramatically, so it is difficult for people who are not very sensitive to patterns and colors to learn the essence; The last is the soul power urging, after the first two can be done, as long as the soul power is injected into the makeup materials, with the soul power of the trigger, the totem array will be triggered, and then stimulate the various soul materials on the face to take effect, so that the effect corresponding to the array and soul materials can be displayed, and it will naturally be able to exorcise ghosts. After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong explained the principle of totem makeup in detail.
"It's so complicated, it turns out that ancient wizards set up totems and put on strange makeup not really ignorant and barbaric, but to deal with ghosts and ghosts, which really made me insightful." After listening to Pu Zitong talk about the principle of drawing totem soul makeup, Zhang Su thought of the image of ancient wizards and totems, and suddenly said.
"That's right, I once heard the ancestors of my family say that people in ancient times were able to survive and survive, completely by relying on the source of the soul master who had all kinds of thaumaturgy, and the earliest witch was the first batch of apprentices of the source soul master in the heaven and earth realm, the wizard among the witches was the first group of people who were taught totem by the source soul master, they protected the human race with their powerful totemism, but because of the power of totem, they were coveted by the ill-intentioned people among the human beings, which led to the real wizard being framed and killed because of kindness, And the fake wizards stole some totems and then became dominant, playing with the ordinary people under them in the palm of their hands, and finally someone saw through the conspiracy and exposed the fake wizards
, gain the power to crusade and kill one by one fake wizards, resulting in the complete disappearance of totemism, wizards and totems are also considered to be a record of the era of ignorance, becoming the laughing stock of history. Pu Zitong continued to briefly tell Zhang Su the story behind the totem technique.
"In other words, the ancient totem is not just a symbol, nor is it all an illusion to fool the public, but a magic circle that guards the home and the courtyard like the current soul array, guarding the peace of the tribal villages at that time?" After listening to the story told by Pu Zitong, Zhang Su asked in surprise.
"That's right, driving wolves and tigers in the open, driving ghosts and avoiding ghosts in secret, and blessing the people of one side can retain a place between heaven and earth, that is the real role of the totem!" After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong nodded in affirmation.
