Chapter 425: The Art of Five Buckets of Rice
The peach wood dagger was wrapped in electric light, and the monster's body was like a python, and its front body reached down to the ground, relying on the scale armor all over its body to jump on the ground, avoiding the edge of the peach wood dagger.
The peachwood dagger missed, flew in the air, drew an arc, and struck again. The monster seemed to be a little jealous of the peachwood dagger, and the snake leaned to the left to dodge, but was touched by me who happened to arrive.
At this moment, as its attention was almost absorbed by the dagger in the air, the portal on one side was wide open. I didn't hesitate at the moment, my five fingers flew up, and my right hand formed a standard Arhat seal, slapping it the monster's waist.
This blow took my seven or eight success powers, and I thought I could succeed, but who knew that the monster's body was only a shock, and it didn't cause much damage.
On the contrary, the heavy, blue-glowing black scale armor on his body seemed to give birth to spikes, instantly piercing the palm of my right hand, and the pain pierced my heart.
Xiao Maruko didn't know when to kill from the other side, and when he saw that my blow was ineffective, his backhand was also slapped with both palms at the monster's small minus. Unmoved, the monster waved one of its front paws and slapped it on Maruko's head......
Maruko exclaimed, as if he was the same as me, and his palms were injured. In the chaos, she didn't dare to touch it again, so she hurriedly shrank her neck and hid her head, avoiding this trick with difficulty, rolling on the spot and flashing to the side.
Zhou Tianming came from behind, and there was a yellow talisman in his hand that spontaneously combusted without wind, and he held the yellow talisman with two fingers, drew a flash of fire, and pointed it towards the monster's back.
The monster seemed to have eyes on its back, it swung its body, and the giant tail swept towards Zhou Tianming. Zhou Tianming didn't dare to slack off, his feet turned sharply, and he jumped away from the oblique stab.
Who knew that this giant tail was not just going towards Zhou Tianming, but in the blink of an eye, it was wrapped in the wind and hit my waist.
I was horrified, and I didn't care if it looked good or not, and my body stabbed forward and fell to the ground like a dog gnawing history. The giant tail swept against the back of my head, and the carp-like tail swept over a small tree, and the wind broke the tree, and the leaves flew wildly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fat man's peachwood dagger galloped again, and with a pop stabbed into the scale armor at the back of the monster's waist, and a large stream of black blood splattered out, and the smell was fishy......
The monster screamed in pain, and jumped forward.
Its target did not seem to be to besiege us, but it was seen moving quickly through the forest, bringing up countless gravel, weeds, and stagnant water in all directions, and the scale armor rubbed against the ground, like a steel knife scraping bones, clanging.
In the blink of an eye, the monster was back in the carbine, and once again silently swam behind the suicidal man......
Due to the lush vegetation and trees in this mountain forest, and the monster's movements are so fast, even our eyes have a hard time tracking them, let alone the suicidal man.
He hid behind a big tree and shivered, but the monster quickly disappeared from view, and before he could come back to his senses, he felt the wind behind him, and it was too late to look back.
The monster opened its mouth wide open and slashed at his back.
The soul of the suicidal man was scared away. He was just an ordinary person, not a cultivator, and his reaction was naturally no different from that of an ordinary person. Not to mention fighting, I'm afraid it's already good to be able to pee your pants when you encounter this kind of thing.
Originally, he could only close his eyes and wait for death, but a petite black shadow was like a wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was a mermaid who blocked the suicidal man.
I saw this delicate and weak girl with her hands together, and two large handfuls of things that seemed to be white grains of rice appeared in her hands in an instant.
After these white rice were in the air, they seemed to have souls, and in the blink of an eye, they flew densely towards the monster's front door and chest, and instantly splashed it on their heads and faces.
Strange things happen.
I saw black smoke rising, and two handfuls of broken rice were like flames, which burned instantly after being sprinkled on the monster. The monster screamed as if it were being attacked by a swarm of bees, and it spun around and burrowed into the forest again, leaving a foul stench in the air......
And the white rice was like a gust of wind, and like a cloud of white mist, it followed the monster like a shadow, chasing after it until the monster's figure was out of sight, and then flew back into the mermaid's hands.
The color on it had changed from snow-white to inky and was taken back into the mermaid's pocket.
Looking at the mermaid's spell, I was a little surprised.
Although she is not sure, the two handfuls of spiritual white rice in her hand are very similar to an ancient folk method - the technique of five buckets of rice.
Master once told me that unlike the "Five Bucket Rice Sect", the predecessor of Taoism, the art of Five Bucket Rice is said to be the earliest line of witchcraft inheritance in China, and those who know this art are also called "Rice Witch".
To put it simply, the technique of five buckets of rice is also a kind of spiritual art, similar to the "knotted rope channeling" of the old man in Taijifu.
The difference is that the art of five buckets of rice can be used in a wider range, with just a handful of rice grains, it can complete witchcraft activities such as arraying, stargazing, divination, sacrifice and healing, and can also be used for attack and defense.
In the ancient period when human civilization was just born, the art of five buckets of rice was once very popular, all over the deserted villages and countryside. Although there are many charlatans, there are also many big names that have emerged, such as Ni Zhizi of the Shang Dynasty, Zen Master Tiangu of the Later Jin Dynasty and so on.
However, with the passage of time, especially the birth and widespread spread of several major religions, the sects of monks have blossomed, and Mi Wu, who should not have declined and has the longest history, has died out for no reason, and in modern times, there are even fewer rumors.
The old man in Tai Chi Fu said that the old lady on the island came from a family of witch doctors. In this way, it is likely that he is the inheritor of the technique of five buckets of rice, but I don't know what the relationship between the mermaid and the old lady is.
The monster's actions are equally puzzling. It seems to have some kind of obsession with suicidal men. In the Mazu Temple, he stretched out his claws to the suicidal man, and just now he attacked the suicidal man regardless of it, completely ignoring our flanking attack.
This is a stark contrast to the previous ones.
You must know that the suicide man lay on the beach for several days after he went to the island, and he was the most vulnerable target of sneak attacks, but he was not selected to be a life sacrifice for a long time.
According to the mystery men, the sacrifice they chose must have a strong desire to survive.
The suicidal man is locked by the monster at the moment, is it related to his renewed desire to survive? But why does this monster have such a soft spot for people's desire to survive?
I thought of the heirs of the four great surnames that could be resurrected from the dead on this desert island, that is, the descendants of the inhabitants of the desert island.
No matter what evil method the dead body is used to resurrect it, the body must be infused with a soul. Could it be that the obsession with the desire to survive is to create a steady stream of new living dead?
The mystery behind this is unpredictable......
