Chapter 7: The Shadow Slashing Sword Technique
"Master, wait a minute. Cai Wei suddenly shouted, turned around with a blushing face, turned her back to everyone and said, "I want to change some clothes first, my clothes are soaked." β
Tu Tian was beside him, leaning his neck and turning his face to look, Cai Wei's delicate and graceful body loomed in his eyes, Rao was dizzy even when he was young.
He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly used his small body to block the toad's eyes facing the sky, and sure enough, this guy was staring at Cai Wei's back with burning eyes, and the clam was full of salivation. The toad glared at him angrily, turned around stupidly, and pretended to be a gentleman.
"The girl is troublesome, there are so many taboos. The ghost woman snorted, walked forward by herself, but said, "In front of you is the old body's retreat, and you will wear some clothes in it." β
The ghost woman's retreat is not a very vicious place, it is a big mansion, the mountains and rivers outside the courtyard are beautiful, a small river not far from the door flows quietly, the river bank is covered with fragrant grass, and there are many butterflies and dragonflies and other auspicious insects flying happily.
A graceful short stone bridge spans the creek and leads to the gravel path outside. But the ghost woman did not take the bridge, but waded straight through the river.
She said without looking back: "Don't step on the stone bridge, the old body has a maze on it, and there are a few dry corpse puppets guarding it, you can't beat it." β
Her words were naturally said to Cai Wei and Tu Tian, and with the cultivation of the toad, it was easy to see that the bridge was tired, and she didn't need to remind her at all.
She didn't know yet, but Tu Tian could see more clearly than the toad, and he could see seven or eight dried corpses wandering aimlessly on the bridge, which was much bigger than it looked. And he could also see that the entire outside of the house was shrouded in a hazy mist, and occasionally flying insects crashed into the mist, which was instantly corroded into a part of the mist.
Under the leadership of the ghost woman, they entered the courtyard gate without danger.
The ghost woman stopped, pointed to the only big house due north, and said, "There is a utility room there, where a lot of clothes and food are stored, and there is no magic circle, so you can come and go as you please." He pointed to a whole row of huts due west, and admonished: "This is the old body's corpse breeding place, and no one is allowed to step into it without the permission of the old body, otherwise you will bear the consequences." The rooms on the east side are fine, and you can get acquainted with them for yourselves. β
The ghost woman glanced back at the toad and solemnly admonished: "Don't try to break the formation and escape, in the territory of the old body, there will always be means that you can't think of." β
The toad yawned lazily: "What are you running, I'm still waiting to learn immortal arts." Maybe you'll burp tomorrow, so what's the chance if you run away?"
"You...... Well, it's best if you think so. β
Cai Wei and Tu Tian saw that the ghost woman had nothing else to explain, and ran into the utility room with a smoke. I was soaked in cold water half to death, and this is the Silver Snow Country, even in summer, I don't feel the heat, and now I am shivering with cold when I am blown by the wind.
Cai Wei is not shy about Tu Tian, she has lived in the same camp for two years, and what the other party has on her is not a secret at all. Besides, Tu Tian always doesn't grow up, what does a five-year-old kid need to avoid? What's more, Cai Wei has already made an oath that Tu Tian will not marry in this life, and in her mind, Tu Tian has already been her little husband.
"Oops, that's bad!" Tu Tian suddenly jumped up, beating his chest and feet, holding in his hand a book that had been glued into a whole piece by water, which was the "treasure" they had just found in that shabby bookstore.
He cautiously opened a page, and his face became even more ugly, and the handwriting on it was completely empty, and it was all blistered.
"Let's see if there's anything going on with the map. Cai Wei hurriedly changed into a set of clothes, and ran over with a worried face regardless of whether it fit or not.
Tu Tian spread out the map nervously, first with great joy, and then immediately with astonishment.
The map is intact and undamaged by blisters, but it has undergone some strange changes.
Originally, the upper right corner of the cloth was blank, but now there are several landscapes, marked with a kind of words or symbols that he has never seen before. In addition, the same is true for the overseas part, where there are a few more small islands out of thin air, and they are marked with a third script, which is also unrecognizable.
"This ...... Could this be the full picture of the map?" asked Cai Wei in surprise.
Tu Tian nodded, extremely pleased: "Maybe so! This map has an extraordinary origin, if it is not soaked in water, who can find out that there is a picture outside the map? You see, this dragon-shaped thick line is the Yinxue Mountain Range, which only occupies such a small part of the whole map, and the Kunlao Mountain Range is vast, but it is only one of the areas, which shows that this map contains a wide range. We've got a treasure!"
After a short time, the water stains on the cloth dried up and changed back to its previous appearance.
Cai Wei found a piece of silk fabric from the room, folded and wrapped the map, handed it to Tu Tian, and advised: "This time it must be preserved, there can be no more accidents, maybe it will be of great use to Xiaotian in the future." By the way, don't be seen by the master and the stinky toad, they don't look like good people no matter how they look. β
Tu Tian nodded, held Cai Wei's hand, and was very solemn: "Hmm." The only people in this world who can make me fully trust are you, Sister Caiwei, and my mother. β
Cai Weiqiao's face was crimson, her head was lowered slightly, and two intoxicating dimples curved out of the corners of her mouth.
Tu Tian was in a good mood, flipped through the broken book that was glued together, and said scoldingly: "Who let you make up nonsense, you deserve to suffer." Hey, it's strange, why didn't there be any ink left, and it disappeared too cleanly, right?"
It's really weird, even if an ordinary book is exposed to water, it will leave a blurry ink stain residue, but this book in my hand is really clean and outrageous.
"Oh my God, ...... on your back."
"What, are there spiders?" Tu Tian had already felt something itchy on his body, like insects crawling, but he didn't take it seriously. After living in the barracks for more than two years, I have long been accustomed to being in the company of insects. He said, "Don't be afraid, just kill you." β
"No, it's ...... Is it ......" Cai Wei was speechless in surprise, just pointed at Tu Tian's back and opened her mouth.
"What the hell is it?" Tu Tian reversed his arm and slapped the itchy spot. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden itching, from the back to the armpits, and then to the chest.
He looked down and couldn't help but be stunned.
It's a word!
Some words that move on their own like insects are attached to him.
Densely packed.
"Isn't it ......" Tu Tian lost color, "those words that disappeared from the strange book?"
He was frightened too much today, first a demon, then a ghost, and now there are insect-like words attached to his body, if it weren't for his natural willpower, he would have been scared to death many times.
"Xiaotian, don't move, they seem to be coming together. These words are boring, so let's take a look at what is written. β
Tu Tian was stunned, could it be that the broken book also has a mystery? Since the characters will move by themselves, will there be different content?
After waiting for a moment, the words all flowed to his chest, and his eyes changed positions dizzily, and finally stabilized.
Tu Tian lowered his head and only looked at it a few times before he was ecstatic, it was the immortal cultivation method he was looking for, although it was only a fragment, missing the main part.
Shadow Slashing Sword Technique!
This is the name of the immortal law.
"Sister Caiwei, quickly find me some clothes. β
He was not carried away by joy, and this kind of magic must be quietly cultivated and not discovered by outsiders, otherwise it will definitely cause chaos in the world. Mortals are afraid of death, who doesn't want to ascend to immortality and live forever, but immortal fate is hard to find, and only a very few people can become lucky people. Even an old monster like a toad is willing to "sell his body" for an immortal law, let alone an ordinary mortal.
After the two came out of the utility room, the toad looked at them a little dumbfounded, Cai Wei wore a black night suit, and the cuffs and trousers were hanging from Lao Gao, and the white and tender skin was exposed, which was very eye-catching.
Cai Wei has a slender figure, a head taller than the ghost woman, and night clothes are generally tailor-made, and Cai Wei naturally looks short when she wears it.
Tu Tian is the opposite, he is just a little doll in his early three feet, wearing the clothes of a ghost woman...... To be more alternative, how alternative is to be more alternative, and when he walks, he is like a "butterfly boy", fancy and cute.
Cai Wei couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she saw the toad, and she was also stupid.
"Who are you? The man I saw in the well...... That's you, yes, it must be you!" Cai Wei pointed angrily at the toad's nose. This guy has now turned into a very handsome young man, and the only fly in the ointment is - no eyebrows.
Tu Tian quietly tugged at the placket of her clothes and whispered: "He is the toad essence, bear with it, don't mess with him." β
"Stinky toad, you liar......" Cai Wei screamed, and when she ran up, she beat the toad violently, Tu Tian's eyes widened, and she didn't expect her reaction to be so fierce.
"Little girl, what are you doing, how can you bully the old man?" the toad screamed and fled.
Cai Wei chased after her, and the fists and embroidered legs went into battle together, not reluctantly.
"You dare to say it! Lie to me that I would ...... I thought Xiaotian was not mine...... It's mine...... Hmph, I'm going to beat you anyway, you are not allowed to hide......"
"What are you messing around?"
At this moment, the ghost woman came out of a room in the west and stopped picking roses.
"If you wake up the dead body, I'm afraid it's too late to cry!
Cai Wei was glared at by the ghost woman, and retreated to Tu Tian's side with some fear. The toad was saved, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it just a joke, as for it...... My old man's name is ......"
"Hmph!" Cai Wei glared at him angrily, ignoring him.
The ghost woman handed Tu Tian and Cai Wei a small jade box, and said: "The ghost cultivation of our sect focuses on two major exercises, one is the art of controlling corpses, the other is refining the ghost sword, and in addition to the auxiliary exercises. Inside the jade box in your hand is the key to cultivating the art of controlling corpsesβthe puppet worm. β
Tu Tian and Cai Wei couldn't wait to open the jade box, but they didn't see any insects, only a grain of rice.
The ghost woman frowned, she didn't like their liveliness and impetuousness very much, and said coldly: "The puppet worm needs you to hatch with its own blood, and after hatching, it will immediately recognize its master, this is just an egg." Caiwei, you come first. β
The ghost woman couldn't help but say, and the withered ghost claw grabbed Cai Wei's hand and stabbed a bloody hole in her palm.
Cai Wei endured the pain and didn't dare to say anything, but her eyes were already teary.
"No interest!" the ghost woman scolded, and then guided her to drip blood on the "rice grains".
The blood kept dripping, and after about half an hour, the grain of rice suddenly emitted a burst of yellow light, grew a little, and then cracked, and a small spider came out of it.
The ghost woman stopped the bleeding for Cai Wei, and when she saw that her face was as pale as paper, she snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Only six legs, although I have some qualifications, my physique is so poor." You have to cultivate hard in the future and be less greedy for fun, otherwise your puppet worm will have little hope of even three transformations, can you hear clearly?"
"Hear me, master. Cai Wei muttered and obediently stepped aside to rest.
The little spider was very affectionate to Cai Wei, crawling around in her palm, and her earthy yellow body did not make people feel crooked at all.
The ghost woman concocted the same method, and her sharp nails pierced a bloody hole in Tu Tian's palm, but something strange happened, before the blood dripped down, it swished back again, and the wound disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Huh?" the ghost woman was puzzled, and the unbelieving one stabbed another hole, but it was still the same, the blood seemed to have life, and she refused to leave Tu Tian's body.
The toad saw it really on the side, and his heart was chilling, and his eyelids were jumping, and he thought: "This melon baby has a big weirdness, could it be that there is a strange magnet in his body......?
The ghost woman laughed loudly, and shouted with joy: "Sure enough, it is a legendary spirit body, and it has reached the point of no leakage in the flesh without cultivation, and in the future, if you don't say that you are invulnerable, even the immortal law will not be able to help you! Okay, good, such a disciple is really a godsend, and my ghost sect will surely prosper!"
Tu Tian also wondered, he had never been injured before, how could he know that he still had this special function. However, he remembered one thing, when he used to sleep in the camp, he would always wake up and find the shells of many blood-sucking mosquitoes.
"Master, what should I do? Won't I be able to practice ghost arts?" Tu Tian asked, feeling both happy and a little disappointed, he was actually very reluctant to practice ghost arts, after reading so many books, how could he not know that ghost arts were not allowed in the world? If he was successful in cultivation, he would definitely be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating him. But if he didn't practice ghost arts, he didn't even have the basic knowledge of cultivation taught, and there was a recipe for cultivating immortals in the sky above his body, but he couldn't get in.
Just when he was in a dilemma and thinking about it more and more chaotic, the ghost woman actually touched his head and laughed softly: "Don't worry, this little thing is still difficult to get old." As she spoke, she plucked a slender hairpin from her head. Upon closer inspection, it was found that it was a hollow gold needle, and it was by no means made by an ordinary goldsmith.
The ghost woman said: "This golden needle is exquisitely constructed, contains a magic circle, is one of the secret treasures of our sect, specially used to take all kinds of corpse blood, but today it is ...... to be applied to the living."
Tu Tian sighed secretly, there is a specialization in the art industry, this tool is really amazing...... I don't know how many corpses have been bloody, will a single needle turn him into a zombie?
