Chapter 71: Awakening Ritual
The young man known as Brother Hong's full name is Hong Liang, and he is the only son of Hong Ye of the Hongmen Dart Bureau in Sixiang Town. Three months ago, in the spiritual test in the Lin Family Hall, he had achieved a good result second only to Lin Yi, but in the end, he was in vain because of Muye's up-and-coming corner.
"Of course I have to move, if it weren't for this rabbit cub, I would have been Mu Chen's apprentice by now. With a look of disdain, Hong Liang twisted his neck and said: "Go and tell the brothers, if this rabbit cub enters the Heart Cultivation Academy, I will take good care of him in the future." ”
"Brother Hong, everyone said that Lin Jiatang was destroyed three months ago, but it was all because of Mu Chen's second elder who did it for that kid. ”
"Hmph, bullshit!" snorted coldly, and Hong Liang continued: "How can this rabbit cub have that weight, if it is really like what you said, the second elder Mu Chen will not leave him in this Sixiang town." ”
At this time, Elder Qin Ming had already walked in front of Mu Ye, and after looking up and down, he spoke, "I have already heard from Pavilion Master Liu about you, so let's help you hold the awakening ceremony now." ”
Awakening ritual? This Makino has not yet awakened?
After listening to what Elder Qin Ming said, the surrounding students immediately started talking again.
"Wouldn't it?
"I just heard people say that the kid used to be a fool. ”
"Idiot? No way, I can't see it. ”
"I said handsome can't be eaten!"
"Okay, thank you senior. It wasn't until Qin Ming finished the whole sentence that Makino took his attention back from Shan Ruoshui's body.
Seeing that Mu Ye's attention was not here, Qin Ming glanced at Shan Ruoshui behind him, frowned slightly and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Concentrate on it, don't think about things that shouldn't be thought, do you hear?"
"Haha, Elder Qin, don't scare other people's children. Seeing Qin Ming's strict words, Liu Ge Master on the side patted Mu Ye and said, "But child, you have to be serious after a while, you must know that there is a good saying, every mask has an anti-customer-oriented heart." ”
Anti-customer-oriented?
After listening to Liu Lao's words, although Makino didn't understand the meaning, he also roughly guessed that the awakening ceremony that had passed the meeting would not be an easy matter.
After taking Makino to the front of the crowd, Qin Ming first glanced at several coaches around him, and then squinted at the former beside him and said: "After a while, there will be a bronze mirror in front of you, and there is a pre-engraved magic circle diagram on the bronze mirror, what you need to do is to use your own blood to wipe the lines of the magic circle from top to bottom and from left to right, do you understand?"
"Understood. ”
After nodding, Makino had already seen the bronze mirror that Qin Ming had said, and the mirror that was more than four people tall was carried by five people from a distance.
After the bronze mirror was carried all the way to Makino, Qin Ming waved his hand and made all the irrelevant people take ten steps back, leaving enough space for the former.
"When you're ready, you're ready to go. Raising his voice, Qin Ming said loudly to Makino in the distance: "Remember that if something unexpected happens, or if you feel that you can't do it, give up immediately, and you don't answer me when you hear it!"
"Yes, Senpai. ”
Being reminded again and again, Makino became more and more convinced in his heart that this awakening ritual would never be an easy task.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and after more than ten seconds, Makino opened his eyes and bit his fingers.
With a tingling pain, blood flowed from Makino's thumb. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and began to draw along the lines on the circle.
Here, Makino was dyeing the magic circle on the bronze mirror with his own blood, and on the other side, ten steps away, Qin Ming said to Shan Ruoshui beside him: "Miss Shan, now I will let people take you to know the various places of the Lower Heart Cultivation Academy, what do you think?"
"Don't rush yet. Shaking his head, Shan Ruoshui looked at Muye in the distance and said, "I want to finish this awakening ceremony." ”
After listening to Shan Ruoshui's words, although Qin Ming didn't say anything, he felt a little strange in his heart. As Shan Ruoshui, why should he care about a countryman? Thinking of the latter's sudden arrival without warning, and without saying his purpose, Qin Ming couldn't help but set his eyes on Mu Ye's body.
At this time, as Makino gradually painted the lines on the bronze mirror, strange pictures began to appear on the mirror. I saw a brownish-yellow gas-like vortex slowly appearing, replacing the appearance of Makino in the bronze mirror. As the vortex slowly turned, a gray round mouth gradually appeared in its center.
"It's time, put your bloody hand in!" Seeing that everything had taken shape, Qin Ming opened his mouth and said loudly: "Remember to keep your consciousness absolutely awake, if you feel that you can't do it, give up immediately!"
"What kind of soul mask do you say the one called Makino will have?"
"It's a guess, but one thing is for sure, it can't be a gold mask. ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense!Paper, stone, copper, iron, gold, gold is the highest soul mask, and there are no more than ten people in the entire Dawnlight Country who have gold masks. ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, that kid is going to start. ”
As the students said, at this time, Makino was already mentally prepared, and I saw him raise the hand he had just bitten and slowly reach into the center of the vortex in front of him.
As his hand got closer to the whirlpool, Makino began to feel as if a force was calling to him, or rather, he heard a voice, one that was in rhythm with his own heartbeat.
Poof!
As Makino's hand entered the gray hole in the center of the whirlpool, the throbbing sound in his ears became louder and louder.
But at this moment, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared, pulling Makino's hands and feet inward by more than half. At the same time, however, his hand touched something resembling the shape of a mask.
Got you!
After Qin Ming's many reminders, Makino had already been prepared for this sudden situation. I saw that my teeth were bitten, and my body squatted backwards and began to exert force, ready to pull out the soul mask.
"It's a lot of energy. Standing beside Qin Ming, Liu Lao said in a low voice: "It seems that it should be a good seedling." ”
"Okay, let's see if this kid can succeed first. With a calm face, Qin Ming continued: "You and I are not people who have never seen failure. ”
As Liu Lao and Qin Ming said, although summoning soul masks is an innate ability of human beings, not everyone can successfully summon them.
There is a way, there are advantages, there are disadvantages, there are disadvantages, everything is equal. Successfully summoning the Soul Mask can give you great power, but again, the risks you need to take when summoning it are also enormous.
The mask of the soul that has not yet confessed to the Lord will constantly impact the consciousness of the cultivator during the ritual. If the latter is unable to resist the impact of the mask, it will fail, and it will not be able to have a soul mask in the future. What's more, some higher-level soul masks will directly destroy the cultivator's consciousness, thus making the latter a walking corpse.
It's like Makino now!
