15: Wood Charm

Lou Jinchen did not make a rash move.

But he didn't move, but the mountains and forests did.

It was as if he heard the strange sounds of the woods and grasses, like the sound of insects, like the chirping of birds, like the low roar of wild beasts, and even more heart-stopping ghostly sounds, as if this forest had suddenly become a fierce forbidden place, not to be tread by the living.

He couldn't move.

These sounds seemed to form a swamp, and in the swamp there were invisible hands that adhered to his consciousness and body, holding him tightly, making him fall into it and sink little by little.

The scene in his eyes had changed, turning a grayish-green.

It is as if invisible insects, beasts, and ghosts are biting at their bodies, and they divide and eat them, holding people down firmly, making it difficult for them to move both physically and consciously.

And his consciousness was torn into pieces, but he was still clearly aware of the torn parts of himself.

Lou Jinchen has very little experience in fighting with people, and there are almost no spells he can have, at this moment, a thought came to him, if there is a fire that burns them all, I won't even give them to eat if I burn them myself.

This thought made him feel a little lucid, as if it came from a trace of instinct in his heart.

He immediately contemplated the sun in his mind, and then the light of the sun flooded in his thoughts, and in every piece of consciousness that was torn apart, it was broken like gold, and under the gray-green cover, wisps of flames, burning with difficulty, like sparks piled under wet wood.

However, Lou Jinchen had already found a way to break free and resist, and only meditated on the sun.

Once by chance, with the activities organized by the school, he saw the sun once in the astronomical vision, and the scene of the sun burning has always been in his heart, and when he wanted a fire to burn it all, the sun scene that had been hidden in his heart naturally appeared.

Standing under the tree over there, Miao Qingqing, who was manipulating all this, her consciousness at this moment was complete, but it seemed to be divided into countless pieces, and every bit of her consciousness seemed to be an independent existence, but it was a whole.

This is the magical power brought by the secret food method she practiced, which brought her several abilities, namely psychic herbs, wood-eating trees, and wood phantom spirits.

Of course, the application of each ability, all by heart, as long as it is within the scope of her body, she can monitor everything in the forest through this spell, before Lou Jinchen practiced swords in the forest, she watched through the ability of psychic plants and trees, she felt that Lou Jinchen's swordsmanship, Wei Zewei, but lost to change, as long as he started first, the other party may not even have the power to fight back.

And the ability he is using now is the Wood Phantom.

The trees grab the nutrients from the earth, and the animals and people who have died in this mountain and wood, and those who have left traces of activity in this mountain and forest, are all remembered by the plants and trees, and the lingering remnants are entangled in the roots of the trees, all of them are awakened at this time, and they choose people to devour.

One of the most terrifying is a voice: "Lou Jinchen, Lou Jinchen......"

The voice was the voice of the 'wooden owl' who had just been killed.

Sure enough, as she thought, Lou Jinchen was instantly pulled into the illusion constructed by those wood ghosts.

Of course, she clearly felt the tenacity of Lou Jinchen's consciousness, even if it was torn into countless pieces, it was still sticky like a fog, and now the light of the sun was shining in her consciousness, burning the ghost, and penetrating her own consciousness, reflecting a hidden pain in her heart.

However, this kind of hidden pain can be eliminated by contemplating the molting of the tree once in a fixed state after it is over.

She thought again: "He is cultivating the Qi Refining Method, this glow should be born by visualizing the sun, I only need to hold on for a while, and pour it with the wood spirit qi of the entire mountain forest, and it will definitely be extinguished." ”

At the same time, she used her main consciousness to merge with the remnant spirit of the 'Wood Owl', so that it could exert greater power.

At this moment, the burning pain transmitted by her consciousness was fierce, and then she saw the golden fire in her eyes penetrate the gray-green mist formed by the wood charm, and spread rapidly.

The awakened remnants quickly collapsed in the golden flames, and in the blink of an eye, all the mist was burned away.

That burning pain swept through Miao Qingqing's heart, as if her heart was really burned by flames.

The pain was so painful that she almost snorted, almost screamed, turned around and left, watched Lou Jinchen practice swordsmanship, and understood that Lou Jinchen showed swordsmanship, she might not even have a chance to speak, the moment she turned around, the trees around her were like soldiers, making way for her, she got into it, and the trees instantly rose wildly, covering her.

At the moment when she got in, the light above her head surged, the sun's brilliance gathered, and the illusion of the forest trees below writhed wildly.

A scream sounded, and a sword light slashed at the passerby, and the illusion of a heavy forest rising wildly was cut away by the sword light.

At that moment just now, he wanted to feel this void first, pull his body, and then rush over to the earth under his feet, but when Fa Nian fell here, he was offset by the crazy surging forest phantom, which made him instantly understand that this method of casting swords one by one is not very practical in actual combat.

So he rushed over in the way of the earth, and slashed the illusion with the sword light.

But the sword is like slashing in the water, and the surface of the water is distributed, and as long as it does not hit people, those illusions drown everything in it like water.

Lou Jinchen didn't chase anymore, he knew that chasing again would just be a waste of mana.

Just when he stopped, he heard Lin Mugong say in his ears: "The friends of the corridor are refining the sun and the moon, and it is really mysterious, after Miao Qingqing went back, he should advise the master to stop caring about Granny Du's affairs." ”

As the sound subsided, the strange trees in the mountains seemed to suddenly run out of vitality and became languishing, and Lou Jinchen could be sure that what he would see when he came here again on another day must be a withered yellow forest.

Lou Jinchen stood there with his sword in his hand, exhaling heavily, just at that moment, he had no concept of danger, only struggling and resisting.

When he came to the edge of the stream and looked at the corpse lying in the stream, he found that the first time he killed someone, he didn't feel much fear, probably because the fear of death and life in the fighting method just now had already surpassed the fear of corpses.

He jumped down, turned his body, touched the corpse's arms, and found a few porcelain bottles, which he didn't know what to contain.

He put it on a stone, touched it in his arms, and when he took it out, he had an extra silk book in his hand, and the words on it were embroidered, which showed that the owner attached great importance to this book.

Lou Jinchen looked at it directly there, white silk and golden lines outlined into words.

I was disappointed after reading it once.

This secret book is called "Soul Eating Secret Method", not to eat the aura of heaven and earth, but to eat people's souls, and if you want to eat people's souls, you naturally have to practice a method of soul calling.

In this book, it is written in detail how many people lose their souls when they are still ordinary people, and then call the other party's lost souls to themselves one step ahead of the other party, and how to eat the invisible 'lost soul' into their own bodies.

"Senior brother, senior brother......"

The shouts of Deng Ding and Shang Gui'an came from the forest.

"Here!" Lou Jinchen responded.

When Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding saw Lou Jinchen, the whole person was stunned, they saw Lou Jinchen sitting on a stone in the stream with wet feet, and a white face rolling on the head next to him was looking at them, not far away, there was a corpse at Lou Jinchen's feet.

"Senior brother, you killed someone." Shang Gui'an asked with some trembling.

But Lou Jinchen ignored it, and Deng Ding asked, "Senior brother, who is this?" "He was not very afraid, as if he had seen a dead man a long time ago.

"I don't know, probably that Granny Du invited her to deal with us, and she called me my soul for no reason." Lou Jinchen put away the book in his hand, and then said, "Let's find a place to bury the corpse." ”

"There's no hoe to dig a hole." Deng Ding said.

"We seem to have it in our view, left over from the previous temple building."

At that moment, the three men took a hoe and buried the man under a tree.

Returning to the Fire Spirit Observatory and meeting the Viewer, explaining all this, the Viewer stood up, touched his scorched beard, and said, "It turns out that the first realm of the spell in Qingluo Valley is 'Wood Charm'. ”

"Wood Charm?" Lou Jinchen asked suspiciously.

"Every level of the secret food method needs to be promoted by eating secret medicine, and after each promotion, there will be a unique name, and 'Mu Mei' represents everything in his heavy realm." The Spectator said.

Lou Jinchen probably understood a little, and listened to the master say: "Qingluo Gu intends not to conflict with us, since that Miao Qingqing said that she would go to persuade her master Hua Xiaoxiao and no longer care about Granny Du's affairs, then there is no need to worry about this matter, if Du Xiaojuan does not come to Benguan here to seek revenge, it is like letting her come and go." ”

After Lou Jinchen knew that the Lord had gone to the great enemy of Qingluo Valley, his mood was a lot easier, and he handed over the "Secret Method of Soul Eating" in his hand to the Lord of Viewers, who flipped through it casually, and then handed it back to Lou Jinchen and said: "But the practice of the Goddess of the Countryside, the witch and the Han, just look at what you have seen and heard, and the cannibal soul that is said to strengthen your own soul is just a delusion of their generation." ”

Hearing the Lord say this, the floor Jinchen no longer thought about it, out of the room of the Lord, it was already evening, and the sun would sink to the West Mountain.

Already hungry, he came to the kitchen, looking at the porridge cooked with wild vegetables on the table, Lou Jinchen had no appetite even though he was hungry, and said: "I don't eat this every day, or I eat white rice with dried fish and pickles, don't you have anything else to eat?" ”

The two children also shook their heads.

"I'll go to the mountains in the back and see if I can hunt some meat and eat it later." Lou Jinchen said.

Deng Ding and Shang Gui'an nodded again and again, and the two swallowed their saliva.

Lou Jinchen found that in the entire Taoist temple, I am afraid that I have to preside over the dinner by myself.

The viewer can eat or not, like the people of Bigu, and the two children have not grown up, but they are just teenagers, and they can only cook some porridge and eat some salted fish with rice every day.

After eating a bowl of vegetable leaf porridge, Lou Jinchen carried his sword into the mountain.

In his heart, the Fire Spirit Concept is already his home, and to improve his life, then he has a responsibility.

Carrying a sword into the mountains to hunt, it is not only hunting, he is still pondering his swordsmanship in his heart, and after actual combat, he knows his swordsmanship shortcomings, and if there are shortcomings, he needs to change.

He found that it was better to dominate the earth.

I don't know why, he thought of a character in a certain game, who was also a sword in his hand, surrounded by sword qi with every step.

Surrounded by sword energy? You can't go wrong with giving this a try.

Lou Jinchen sensed the void with his magic thoughts, so that it surrounded him, forming a whirlpool, and he himself was in the center of this whirlpool, and then the people and the whirlpool moved forward, he found that the speed of the earth was not much stronger than the normal one, and there was also an obstacle to his sword, and the flying sword technique that day, he felt that he couldn't control it, so he didn't try.

He thought again, there are fish in the sea that swim like arrows, extremely fast, why can't he, he decided to give up those miscellaneous ideas first, and focus directly on the earth first.

In the mountains and forests, the earth is invisible, step by step, trying how to make yourself faster.

The first thing to try was of course to twist behind him, like a fish, which was useless, and then to walk the 'zigzag', which only made him more agile and flexible, and there was no increase in the speed of pure air control.

When he was already a little cold, he practiced a set of sword techniques in the mountains and forests under the moon, and found that after several of the sword styles, his speed in the sky had obviously changed qualitatively.

One of the sword styles is to step up to pick up the sword, he stepped forward is the footwork of tiptoeing, but the step is not as big as before, after the rapid step, another consecutive slash, the void is quickly cut open, this is like breaking the barrier in the void, so that the body no longer has such a strong obstacle.

This was followed by an upward stabbing sword, which stabbed at a speed that he had never stabbed before.

As soon as this idea was understood, he immediately understood that if he quickly swam through the void broken by his sword, he would be able to increase his speed a lot, so he only needed to follow the sword.

In addition to being happy, I thought so much about myself before and did so many complicated actions.

However, it's not a waste of time, he feels that the Fa Nian is empty, and he can continue to practice, as a grappler to practice, in those Xianxia novels, all kinds of grapplers, this seems to be okay.

After the idea was cleared, he found that not only was he agile in his whole step, but he was also able to use his swordsmanship immediately.

And with his other hand, he can also pull the void, making the tactics more changeable.

In the distance, a wild boar suddenly rushed out, Lou Jinchen didn't think about it, the sword in his hand was flicked, the void seemed to crack a cloud channel, he walked with the sword and suddenly passed through, appeared in front of the side of the wild boar, and cut out two swords in a row, the person had already stepped to the side of the wild boar, it didn't seem to react, and it was stabbed in the head by Lou Jinchen's sword.

The sword didn't pierce much, but the black boar fell without saying a word, and the sword intent penetrated into it, stabbing its soul.

He put the hundred-pound wild boar on his shoulders and walked towards the Fire Spirit Temple, and after walking for a long time, he suddenly stopped and shouted towards a ravine: "Who is there?" ”

There was no movement there, Lou Jinchen let go of the wild boar, walked over, drew his sword, pulled out the deep grass, and saw a young man lying there, his eyes full of horror.

Lou Jinchen recognized him, but he didn't know what his name was, he had seen him hunting in the mountains with a middle-aged man before, how could he lie here, as if he was injured.

"You're hurt?" Lou Jinchen asked.

This young man, who looked frightened, slowly calmed down after seeing Lou Jinchen and said, "Ask the mage to save my uncle." ”

"What's wrong with your uncle? Did you encounter any beasts? Lou Jinchen asked.

"No, it's people, just in the valley ahead, there is a group of strange people, they took my uncle, said they want to dig my uncle's heart to eat, and they want to eat me, I took advantage of their lack of attention, and ran here." The young man said hurriedly.

Lou Jinchen groaned in his heart, in the valley near the Fire Spirit Temple, there was a group of people hiding there, and they also arrested people, and they would eat people's hearts.

Then the matter is serious.

"Are they all magical?" Lou Jinchen asked again.

"Yes." The young man replied in the affirmative.

Lou Jinchen immediately thought of Granny Du, no wonder he thought of this, he really killed one the afternoon before.

He believed that Granny Du would definitely come to seek revenge.

Looking up at the moonlight in the sky, the moon shadows in the forest were heavy, and the branches and leaves were waving.

He decided to take a look.
