Chapter 67: Life and Death Talisman

Li Xumu closed his eyes slightly and said, "According to legend, there was an extremely insidious talisman in ancient times. In order to limit the sincerity of his subordinates, he engraved this charm on his body. The one who placed the curse seal had complete control over the life and death of these people. If his subordinates want to rebel, those who cast the spell seal only need to recite the talisman silently, and these people will burst blood vessels all over their bodies and die violently. Unexpectedly, this kind of spell mark has been handed down to this day, and it is no wonder that this is the only way to lead the members of the psionic group with special abilities. ”

Leng Jue was a little impressed after hearing this, but he didn't expect Li Xumu to know so many things.

"Since you understand everything, and you resolutely join the psionic group, what are the conditions?" Coldly replied.

Li Xumu did not reply immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Life and death talisman is one of the Gu arts. Not only does the caster have to master this ancient rune formula, but they also need to concoct a special toxin to pierce the body of the person being stabbed. Therefore, the life and death charm pierced into the body can also be said to be a neurotoxin, if the charm occurs, it will cause disorders of the nervous system, accelerate the heartbeat in a short time, and the body will be overloaded, resulting in internal organ failure and blood vessel rupture.

In short, the shape of the runes visible to the naked eye on the body is the formula for the caster to manipulate the onset of toxins, and it is the toxins in the body that really cause death. But the process of making this toxin is particularly cumbersome, and not everyone can use it.

Li Xushui happened to know about this toxin. First of all, most venomous snakes are neurotoxins, which can instantly cause the failure of human internal organs, difficulty breathing, and finally death. It's basically instantaneous, but there is a venomous snake that does not hibernate, called the Snow Chill Snake, and this category of venomous snakes is extremely rare.

In order to resist natural predators, they have evolved strong hardiness properties, allowing them to live in some highland extreme cold areas for a long time, and hide in ice and snow. The reduced metabolism allows the species to go almost lengths of time without food, and the toxin of the snow snake is also a neurotoxin that kills instantly.

As the temperature changes throughout the seasons, a brief increase in temperature causes some of the highland snow to melt, and then the temperature becomes cold again and the snow melts into ice. Some of the unfortunate Snow Snakes were encased in ice. But even so, the life of the snow cold snake is not over, and the toxins in its body have also mutated due to the low temperature that has been frozen for a long time, and the neurotoxins that kill the prey instantly have become latent.

Once upon a time, when a Gu master was collecting various toxins, he found this poisonous snake frozen in ice, and after melting the ice, he found that the snake was not dead, and was accidentally bitten. Later, he found that he should have died a long time ago, and his body was unexpectedly normal, but the toxin was indeed lurking in his body.

Later, the Gu master discovered that after the catalytic effect of a charm, the toxins dormant in the blood would attack, and based on experience and long-term research, the earliest version of the life and death talisman was invented. He stabbed his blood with snow cold snake toxin into his subordinates in the form of charms, and used this method to make these people obey him unconditionally, give various orders, let these people help him for his own benefit, and he can hide in the shadows.

When there is an rebel or defector, the Gu Master only needs to activate the spell on that person, and the toxins in the body can kill the person instantly.

But as this Gu Master grew old and died, this kind of spell never appeared on the rivers and lakes. Later generations have followed this method and found the snow cold snake with great difficulty, but after injecting the toxin into others' bodies, although it will not die immediately, the incubation period of the toxin does not last for a long time, and it will attack within a week, and it will not be like the original life and death charm, as long as it is not catalyzed, the toxin can be harmlessly lurking in the body for a lifetime.

Later, it was rumored that at that time, this Gu master had been exposed to too many poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, and his own blood already had a strong immunity, which could be said to be invulnerable, so he could use his own blood to give life and death talismans to others. If it is an ordinary person, directly stabbing into the frozen snow cold snake toxin will still die.

People in the industry have speculated that only by neutralizing the toxin with blood that is immune to this poison can it have the effect of latent in the body without attacking.

Slowly, the existence of the life and death charm has also become a legend, and now it is found that the psionic group actually uses such a thing to bind all the members, is there a higher leader behind the scenes of the psionic group?! If the phoenix is not the supreme leader, then it is difficult to imagine what kind of person the manipulator behind the scenes is, at least it is certain that he can make life and death talismans, at least he is in a state that is invincible to all poisons.

Li Xumu, who was conscious of Li Xushui, couldn't help but think of the mysterious person who had just given himself a life and death talisman.

Just earlier, Li Xumu was standing in a dark cellar. It's also a gathering place for the psionic group. A beerous woman named Phoenix lies on her side on a stone chair.

"He's a new member of the psionic group hand-picked by the Guardian?" The phoenix leaned lazily on the back of the chair, stretched out a snow-white thigh from the red dress, and curled up and stretched in the air. It seemed to be an extremely ambiguous seductive action, but Li Xumu, who was standing at the door, was not moved at all, but noticed a tattoo on her inner thigh.

"Yes. Nightingale and I were the first to receive an order from the Guardian to investigate this man named Li Xumu. Maybe he's the new member in place of the dead sparrow. "You can hear that the hoarse voice in the shadows is a crow.

Phoenix sat upright, stepped into a pair of red high heels on the ground with his feet, and walked towards Li Xumu with a twisted waist.

After getting closer, I saw the phoenix's makeup more clearly. A breast-length bright red dress further sets off her snow-white shoulder blades, and the twin peaks hug a moving groove line. The red dress mops the floor, and the belt that tightens the waist further reflects the graceful charm of a woman.

The long hair was coiled together, and a pair of bewitching eyes stared directly at Li Xumu. The phoenix stretched out his index finger and swept it over Li Xumu's chin, and then put it into his red lips and sucked it, his expression as if he was enjoying the delicious taste.

"Well, the vision of the guardian this time is not bad~ This little brother has a few postures, I like it. I didn't expect that I didn't need to be invited, and I sent it to the door~" The phoenix turned around with an evil smile, and the skirt robe fluttered ethereally.

Then Li Xumu was blindfolded by a vulture, walked for an unknown amount of time, and stopped in an empty and dark place.

"Guardians. New members have been brought. We can begin the spell-giving ritual. The vulture's voice echoed in the open space.

Li Xumu, who was covered with his head, did not speak, and at this time he also understood that he was about to be stabbed on his body, but if he wanted to join the psionic group, there was no way to do this, but fortunately, the life and death talisman was usually not a big problem in the body, as long as the caster did not want to put himself to death, it was no different from a normal person.

Moreover, at this time, Li Xushui's consciousness also knew that there was a way to crack the life and death talisman. Now I have to join for the time being, and then find a way to solve this problem after using the psionic group.

Slowly, Li Xumu felt a powerful aura appear in front of him, and he kept getting closer to him.

Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain in my calf.

Immediately after that, an ethereal voice echoed in his ears: "From now on, you are a member of the psionic group, and you can only accept the task unconditionally after that, otherwise the life and death talisman on your leg will take your life." But rest assured, any action of the psionic group will help the world to stabilize and exist. ”

The sound faded and eventually faded away. After that, he was taken by the vulture to the ruins of the old campus and saw the coldness.

In retrospect, the guy who was called the Guardian by the Phoenix was the one who gave himself a life and death talisman. Moreover, it was found that even the phoenix, who was the current commander of the psionic group, had this kind of charm tattooed on his body, and it was certain that the phoenix and others obeyed the orders of the spirit keeper. In other words, the psionic group has another real force behind the scenes?!

Leng Jue looked at Li Xumu, who was still pondering, sat lazily on a stone, pointed to the life and death talisman on his lap and said, "I guess you have also seen the spirit keeper." Although most of the work of the psionic group is commanded by the Phoenix. However, there are also extremely secret and important tasks that are directly issued by this guardian to the phoenix, or to some other psionic group members. None of this matters to you. Again, what matters is what is the purpose of joining the psionic group so happily? ”

Li Xumu sneered: "That's right, I have a purpose, as a member who is about to become a part of helping you do things, I have a condition." Just tonight, a freshman named Han Wei will participate in the project, and I hope that someone from the psionic group can participate in the project with him and save his life. ”

Leng Jue shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that you are in such a hurry to rush to the West District and join us because of this. You must have seen the time of Han Wei's death. And the cause of death is just that. Hehe, so why don't you go and get involved? Is it because you don't have confidence in yourself? Li Xumu? ”

"Okay, or no?" Li Xumu didn't talk nonsense, and continued to ask Leng Jue.

Leng Jue scratched his bare eyebrows, looked at the lifeless ruins with a pair of dark circles, and said in a confused voice: "I'm really becoming more and more interested in friendship." Do you want to save Han Wei at the cost of being stabbed with a life and death charm on your body? As a student of Yungang University, it is up to me to participate in the project. If you want someone from the psionic group to help, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Li Xumu's expression did not change at all, and the corners of his mouth curled coldly, he had long expected that the psionic group would not be able to agree to this request so decisively. So he said:

"So, your psionic group must be puzzled by the death of Zhao Qian and Sparrow, right? As it happens, I've got some clues here that you're interested in. Counting such weighty conditions, I think it should be easy for Han Wei to agree to it. ”

Li Xumu said and took out the map of Yungang University from his pocket.
