Chapter 18: Cutting the Shadows

"The spell of cutting shadows does exist, I practiced it five hundred years ago," the old fool scratched his head, pondering for a long time but there was nothing to do, "but this thing is not usually used, I have long forgotten how to cast it, alas!"

Shi Bufan is not strange at all, with his old and confused memory, he can remember that the sun came out in the west.

"By the way, I'm going to look for the cheats. ”

Since you have practiced it, there must be a wordless book that records spells. Thinking of this, the old fool immediately teleported and went to the library palace.

His memory is not very good, but he is very skilled in finding books, and among the thousands of volumes of spell cheats, he will soon find a golden wordless book.

"Shadow Cutting!

The old fool was overjoyed, and quickly opened it and flipped through it.

Because he had learned the above spells, he only needed to read them cursoly, so he read them quickly, and he knew them in his chest after about half a pillar of incense.

The old fool first found a piece of white paper for painting, took it to the palace, and after unfolding it, the paper was one zhang wide and two zhang long.

Spells were used to freeze it, and the white paper stood up like a screen.

Shi Bufan and Xiangxin were very curious, what can an ordinary piece of white paper do, and can they cut shadows with this thing?

Before he could ask, the old fool was the first to speak: "Child, stand in front of the paper, the closer the better." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Yamagami. Xiangxin immediately did so, and obediently walked to the white paper, and did not stop until her toes pressed against the edge of the white paper.

There were tiny rays of light crawling on the paper, like insects, densely turned.

After being cast by the old fool, this piece of paper is not ordinary, and it seems that there is a hidden world inside.

"Boy, bring the candle lamp and put it behind the incense heart. The old fool said again.

Shi Bufan didn't dare to ask more, reached out and picked up the candle lamp, holding it and standing not far behind the incense heart.

At this moment, when the light illuminated, the shadow of the incense heart completely fell on the white paper, turning into a black ball, and if you didn't look carefully, you thought it was a picture scroll made of ink.

Next up is the main play: cutting.

The old fool told Xiangxin not to move, and then raised his hand to cast a spell.

It can be seen that the old confused eyebrows lit up with a golden light, like a half moon in the night sky, which was his Yuan Shen Eye.

The discerning eye is the key to any spell, and when opened, it can perceive and transform the yin and yang qi of all things, that is, "spells".

Call!

Suck!

After three breaths, the old fool suddenly raised his hand, and his fingertips burst out with white light, shooting towards Xiangxin, making Xiangxin tremble.

If you look closely, these lights gradually disperse, disecting in two, and in two......

In a very short period of time, the light actually differentiated into thin needles, which were frozen in mid-air, like a rainstorm of arrows.

This scene is very spectacular.

If you compare the needle of light condensation to a soldier, this is a strong army ready to go!

Shi Bufan didn't dare to blink.

Xiangxin was even more dumbfounded, holding her breath tightly.

Suddenly, the old confused palm pressed down, and countless needles fell down one after another, falling in front of Xiangxin.

One, two, three......

The needle is tightly connected to the needle, and the place where it falls is exactly the junction between the tip of the foot and the white paper, or the junction between the incense heart and the shadow.

Countless needles fell one after another, one sticking to the other, and thousands fell in a moment, forming a small fence wall.

When all the needles are finished, they are connected to each other into a silver-white thin line, horizontal between the incense heart and the white paper, three feet long, and tens of thousands of needles are arranged in it, and the number is dazzling and innumerable.

The "needle wall" is formed, and all the needles are fused into one and cut downward, like an indestructible sword.

This sword is not a demon, nor a living person, but a shadow!

"Child, stand back!" the old man shouted.

In a daze, Xiangxin heard the old fool's words.

She didn't dare to hesitate, and retreated.

One-step!

Two steps!

A strange scene happened, her shadow did not move, and instead of retreating with her, it floated on the white paper, as if it had been nailed.

Looking at Xiangxin's feet again, there is no trace of darkness under the light of the candlelight, as if she has become a transparent person.

It worked!

The cut was successful!

The old fool breathed a sigh of relief, put away the spell, closed his eyes, and slowly dripped a drop of sweat on his head.

To tell the truth, Shi Bufan has seen the old fool cast many spells, all of which are as light as he lifts, and it is the first time that he sweats like today.

It seems that the spell of cutting shadows seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.

"I don't have a shadow, I really don't have it!"

Xiangxin felt very fun, strangely spinning in place, like a child.

"It's so funny!"

For mortals, it is not interesting to have no hands and feet or eyes and nose, but without shadows, there is a sense of comical that makes people want to laugh inexplicably.

on a blank sheet of paper.

The shadow suddenly moved.

It seems to realize that it is trapped, and it keeps running on the paper, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, like a moving ink painting.

But no matter how much you toss, it can't escape from the paper.

A piece of fragile paper turned into a prison.

Shi Bufan and Xiangxin were amazed, and just as they wanted to get closer, they were stopped by the old fool, "Don't go over! Get too close, it may escape through your body!"

The two hurriedly stepped back and watched from afar.

"What kind of evil thing is it, old fool?"

The old fool shook his head, "I don't know, but it's definitely not an ordinary creature." ”

"Can you just wipe it out?"

The old fool shook his head again.

The unknown evil thing and the shadow of the incense heart merge into one, and it is difficult to say what the hell it has become.

Even if the old fool uses the art of cutting to cut off the shadow, there is no safe way to destroy it.

Originally, a shadow is an ethereal thing, and it is almost impossible to kill a shadow.

The old fool used the strongest attack method, but he was able to break this piece of paper into pieces, which did not necessarily harm the shadow, but allowed the shadow to escape.

"Let's go, go out and talk. The old fool said.

The three of them walked out of the palace.

The old fool seemed to have a plan, and said, "I'm going to go to the Heavenly Palace and ask the immortal how to deal with the evil things in the shadow." ”

The Tianzhu Peak of Kunlun Mountain is the only path to the Heavenly Palace in the world.

Except for the Heavenly Immortals, no one was allowed to set foot in the Heavenly Palace.

Tianzhu Peak is naturally also a forbidden place, Shi Bufan has been in Kunlun Mountain for sixteen years, and he has never been to Tianzhu Peak.

As a mountain god, the old fool rarely gets close to Tianzhu Peak.

Unless there are special circumstances.

"Don't go near the shadow until I return!"

The old fool gave another command.

The two nodded like chickens pecking rice.

They know the severity, and of course they won't mess around, and if they release shadows and evil things, it may cause a catastrophe.

"Old fool, isn't it true that the earth immortals can't go to the Heavenly Palace?" asked Shi Bufan.

The old man smiled, "So I can only ask to see me outside, hoping that the immortals will be summoned as soon as possible, but unfortunately Yue Lao has gone to the world, it will be much easier if he is here." ”

"How long will that take?"

The old fool paused, and said, "Ten days and a half months!"

Shi Bufan couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly glanced at Xiangxin next to him, and secretly said that this is good, Xiangxin can stay in Kunlun Mountain for ten days and a half months, and he can eat a lot of barbecue, which is simply delicious!

The old fool saw through his thoughts, and knocked Shi Bufan's head hard, "Stinky boy, practice spells well, don't use any crooked brains!"

"Got it, Master!" Shi Bufan said hehehe.

The old fool couldn't do anything about him, and after a few words, he rose up in the clouds and flew towards Tianzhu Peak.
