Chapter 20: The Oil of St. John

The cat's meow was heard, and the shattered void around it immediately turned into chaos. I suddenly felt like I was falling from a height, and I only felt that my consciousness was forcibly stripped out of my body by some force, and it continued to diverge towards chaos. Soon, there was no sense of any sensation. Before I lost consciousness, only four words came to my mind.

Beiluo Shimen!

It's hard to describe, I don't feel anything, I can't hear, I can't see it, I can't feel it, I can't even think of it. There is only a trace of obsession left in the subconscious - this must not be death!

This obsession is like an animal breaking out of its shell, struggling desperately, with a "click", it seems that there is a kind of restraint that has been broken free. All of a sudden, all the sensations came flooding in. I was shaken, and I felt a heavy tiredness hit me, and a boulder pressed against my chest, suffocating my breath.

I slowly opened my eyes and noticed two dark blue lights in front of me. I was stunned for a long time before I reacted, and then the eyes of the north fell into the master's door.

Beiluo Shimen was standing on my chest at this time, staring at me with round eyes. Its long snow-white fur exploded, and it looked like it was facing a great enemy. When he woke up, he put away his guard, shook his body, jumped out of bed and went back to the computer desk.

I said why was it so depressed, it turned out that this thing was standing on my chest. At this point, all my feelings came back, only to realize that I had already broken out in a stinky sweat and slimy.

I thought about it and suddenly felt a little confused. Didn't I chase the hunchbacked old man to the water tower just now, why did I go back to the dormitory this time? I glanced up at my watch and saw that it was about half past three in the evening. Looking out the window, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is nothing unusual.

I looked around my waist and saw that the dragon tendon was not there. When I touched the bag hanging on the wall, it turned out that it was still in the bag.

Could it be that just a dream? But it's all too true! Even the pain is so real. Thinking of this, I hurriedly reached out and touched my arm. It didn't matter if it was touched, but there was a sharp pain. I raised my hand and looked at it, and I touched the blood on my hand!

I turned on the bedside lamp and found that a piece of flesh was missing from my left arm, and the blood stained the sheets red, and it no longer oozes blood.

At this point, I was already extremely surprised in my heart, and it was hard to tell whether everything that had just happened was true or false. Maybe someone found me falling off the water tower, caught me and sent me back?

But when I looked at the other people in the dormitory, they all slept soundly, obviously impossible. It's a pity that Beiluo Shimen can't speak, otherwise he would have to ask it clearly. Because when I was on the Soul Ladder, I obviously heard the cry of the Beiluo Master.

Although I was very tired, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I simply got up, ran to the toilet, wrung a towel to wipe off the stinky sweat, treated the wound again, threw Beiluo Shimen on the bed, sat down to surf the Internet.

After a look at the campus BBS, I flipped to the section created by the Spirit Society, and saw Zhu Xiaobei's "Tell the new juniors and sisters, those forbidden areas on campus, don't go!" ”

This post is written like a post in the Lianpeng ghost story section of the Tianya Forum, not only does it not serve as a warning, but it will arouse everyone's curiosity.

Sure enough, I saw that in the following post, someone said, "What you said is true or false?" If you have time, you have to go and see it, I don't believe in that evil! ”

Get! I really got it right. In the following posts, there were still people who said that they would go in a team and make an appointment first.

I'm a chaler, there are really people who are not afraid of death. In order to prevent these hormonal oversecretion guys from causing trouble, I had to follow the post behind: "I've been to all these places, and there is nothing." The landlord is telling ghost stories to play, so let's wash and sleep. ”

After replying to the post, I looked at the wound on my arm again and smiled wryly. Sometimes people are so strange, if you say that there are tigers in the mountains in front of you, eating people, don't go! Others want to go even more, they haven't seen a tiger yet, so they have to go and see it.

But when you say there's nothing in front of you, people are not interested.

It was almost dawn that I fell asleep. Fortunately, there was no class for me today, so I continued to sleep when everyone went to class.

Just as I was sleeping groggily, and I didn't know what year it was, I felt as if an unknown bug had gotten into my nostrils. It was so itchy that I squirted out and continued to sleep. But the eyeless worm spotted my nostrils and had to dig into them.

I was furious, and I got up to destroy this worm humanely. When I opened my eyes, there was a person standing in front of me, which scared me a lot.

It's no one else in front of you, it's Kaka! She was playing with my nostrils with a straw stick. When he saw me wake up, he threw away the straw stick and said, "It's a shame that you're still a spiritual cultivator, and your spiritual sense is so poor. Fortunately, I am not your enemy, otherwise you would have met Lord Hades by now! ”

I don't know how she found me in the bedroom, so I said as I got up, "Don't worry, I'm a person from the Buddha, and Lord Yama doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Kaka glanced at me and hugged Beiluo Shimen Shunmao.

I asked, "How did you find this place without having to go to class?" ”

Kaka snorted: "You don't look at what time it is, the main palace has already finished class." Anyway, you can really sleep, it's afternoon! Hey, what's wrong with your arm? ”

I looked at my watch, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, I wiped it and slept for most of the day. At this time, I felt empty in my stomach, and my hungry eyes were glowing green. I remember that Xie Qi still had a few packs of treasured instant noodles, so he turned out a pack and soaked them first.

I said to Kaka while making noodles, "Don't mention it, I almost took my life last night." ”

Kaka cut and said, "Isn't it just a werewolf, with your ability, although you can't defeat it, you won't lose your life." Hey, I didn't see you hurt last night, what the hell is going on? ”

"It's not a werewolf's business!" I said, "It's the hunchbacked old man, he's the one who did it!" ”

As soon as I said this, Kaka immediately became interested and asked me what was going on. So I told her what had happened since I came back last night. It's a dream, it's hard to fathom, so what I'm saying is quite messy. Fortunately, Kaka's comprehension ability is very strong, and he can actually understand it.

I just picked up some unimportant things to tell Kaka, and as for the conversation between me and the hunchbacked old man about my master, I just skipped it. At this time, I am no longer the silly boy with the too young, too simple Tucson at the beginning. Know what to say and what not to say.

After hearing this, Kaka said with a heavy face: "Bengong has long felt that there is something wrong with this hunchbacked old man, but he was too anxious at that time to take care of him. Listening to what you say, this product is also a top master. What you experienced last night was actually a real dream. ”

What do you mean by real dreams? When I heard this, I was even more confused and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Kaka said, "Your lineage comes from the Buddhist Esoteric Sect, and although the Esoteric Sect is powerful, it has changed very little. Unlike Middle-earth Taoism, which has undergone continuous development and inheritance, there are many changes, so it is not surprising that there are some things you don't understand. There are some things that I have only heard from the elders in my family. What the hunchbacked old man used last night should be the soul detention method! ”

I felt a chill in my heart and said, "Soul Detention Method? It sounds powerful enough, isn't it similar to some bull-headed horse face to hook the soul? ”

"That's right! That's basically what it means. Kaka said, "If you survive, it's also a creation." The power of the Soul Restraint Method is that the damage to your soul is the same as the damage you receive in reality. This means that you have a scratch on your arm in the illusion, and now you will have a wound on your arm. If you die in the illusion, then ......"

I can't help but feel a little afraid, fortunately I have the Beiluo Division, and I was saved at the critical moment, otherwise, everyone would find a pile of broken corpses on my bed, and it feels terrifying to think about it.

Kaka said again: "This old man's identity is strange, why have I never heard the old man in the family talk about it?" Well, if you have the chance, you must ask your eldest cousin, he may know something inside. ”

Also as freshmen, we don't know much about each other. For example, Kaka knows that my teacher is a spiritual practitioner of Esoteric Buddhism, and he is in the same line as Buddhism. And I also know that Kaka was born in a family of spells, and he is most proficient in the production and use of charms.

According to Kaka, her ancestors were Maoshan Taoist priests, and later became vulgar, although she became an ordinary person, but the talisman was passed down. And there are many talents in the family, and there are some inextricable links with Maoshan.

That's all there is to know about us. After all, Kaka is very knowledgeable, so he knows more than me.

"Have you heard of the Soul Ladder?" I asked again.

Kaka shook his head and said, "I haven't really heard of this. But listening to your description, this should be some kind of formation. It's okay to be a trap, it's easy for people with Taoism to see through, and it's useless for masters, so it's okay to deal with small shrimp like you. ”

I am ten thousand unconvinced, and I say this as if you are a great master. In fact, when it comes to ability, it's only half a pound or eight taels with me.

I was eating noodles when Kaka suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and said, "Ouch! How did I forget about business! Hey, do you know, I found Wu Qingqing to be very interesting, quite mysterious. ”

"Oh? How? ”

Kaka pulled out a small glass bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table, containing half a bottle of dark green liquid, I don't know what it was.

"What's this?" I picked it up and looked at it, and asked curiously.

Kaka said: "This is a potion concocted by Wu Qingqing, called 'Oil of St. John', which is a healing elixir. I've checked it, and the main ingredient in Western potions at this time is mistletoe. ”

"Oh ho? Wu Qingqing still understands Western potions? "I'm curious.

Kaka said, "Yes, when I went, she was dispensing medicine in the Spiritual Society, and she gave me this. How about it, would you like to get some of it and see if it works? ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It's avoidable, it doesn't sound reliable." ”

Kaka glanced at me contemptuously and said, "I saw that Wu Qingqing seemed to have a magic book in his hand, which looked quite ancient, and it was written in Latin. And it all looked like it was handwritten, but before I could look closely, she put it away. You say it's strange, it's not strange, a good Chinese girl, born in the new era, grew up under the red flag, and pondered Western magic, who taught him? ”

I suddenly thought of a possibility, and said, "Could it be the president we haven't met yet?" Isn't he a German, could it be that there is a special relationship between the two? ”

Kaka also frowned and said: "I also thought of it, you see, the werewolf is Western, the president is German, and there are magic books and potions, there must be some connection between this." ”

I finished my last sip of soup and said contentedly, "With so much fun, it seems that my college life will not be too dull." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion in the corridor outside the door, and Xie Qi rushed in with several members of the Spirit Society, shouting, "Lubo, Kaka, it's not good, something happened!" ”
