Granny Mei became the hero of the Immortal Collection. The wolves leaped into the hill, their wailing continued, and the people who were waiting behind them came running to see the old woman holding up the idol and chanting incantations they could not hear in a very fast voice, and the grass and forest around her swirled and fell in regular motion.
The wolves were gone, and the occasional howl was heard, full of fear and panic. Granny Mei stopped chanting the mantra, the wind stopped, the grass and trees returned to normal, she turned around, and took the opportunity to talk about the benefits of believing in the ancient gods, and dozens of men threw away their instruments and knelt down to listen.
Xiao Qiu moved out of the way, in his opinion, Granny Mei just cast an ordinary spell, the situation was amazing, but the actual effect was average, if those wolves were smarter, a siege, the old woman would not be able to resist.
This is the opposite of Pang Shan Daotong's low-key and effective Five Elements Spells, the few spells he has come into contact with have one common characteristic: narrow range, clear target, not so stunning to look at, and once hit, it will have a lethal effect.
But Xiaoqiu was still very shocked, and silently recited Granny Mei's wrong spell in his heart, and the familiar feeling did not appear, for him, these were useless five words.
A group of people re-lit the torches and returned to the fairy fair.
Standing at the south entrance of the bazaar, Granny Mei once again proclaimed the power of the ancient gods to win over more believers, and finally she promised that she would stay in the fairy bazaar until the wolves were completely driven away.
Xiao Qiu returned to the inn, he was not interested in Granny Mei's propaganda, this old woman probably just happened to learn some specious side spells by chance, which was very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people. In the eyes of a Taoist disciple, it seemed flashy.
Xiao Qiu once again felt the estrangement and difference between Taoist priests and ordinary people, he thought. When this kind of estrangement and distinction is large enough to a certain extent, it will become the pride and indifference of the disciples of the Daomen.
He felt a little confused, he claimed to be Mu Xingqiu from Yelin Town, but now he was more like Mu Xingqiu from Pangshan Dao, with a bigger name and a more humble status.
The veteran Pan Sanye sat on the box, and the room was dark, but he refused to light the lamp.
"The partition wall has ears. He said. The voice was not muffled.
Xiaoqiu looked at the table, and the welcome charm next to the statue was motionless.
"Just as you were out the door, the paper note moved. Pan Sanye said that at that time, when Xiaoqiu was talking to Granny Mei outside the door, the courtyard was noisy, and the sound of the paper note could not be heard.
"Granny Mei knows how to spell, maybe she triggered the paper talisman. ā
Pan Sanye shook his head. "It's still moving after you're gone, so it's not her 'guest'. ā
That is, Xin Youtao probably guessed correctly: some of the companions told Sun Dujiao to meet with Mu Xingqiu here, so he attracted eavesdroppers.
Pan Sanye pointed to the box of talisman armor, "Use them carefully, I don't know why you want them." But as far as I know, generally speaking, Taoist priests don't like this stuff...... Don't cause trouble for the princess. "The Hundred Wash Silver Spirit Armor and the Dragon's Eye Helmet specialize in defensive spells, and in a place where there are no demons, they can only be used to deal with Taoist priests, which is the concern of veterans.
"I'll be careful. Xiaoqiu understood what the veteran meant. But I don't want to say anything more to him.
handed over the hot potato, Pan Sanye didn't have to worry about the armor. But he was still sullen, "The welcome charm is different from ordinary talismans, it can feel the malice of the comer, it fanned very hard just now, a useless veteran like me should not deserve such malice." He laughed, "Of course, talismans often make mistakes, and the paper talisman you use has not been polished for several years, and the mana is lost, so it is easier to make mistakes." ā
"It's just a game we're playing. Xiaoqiu said with a smile.
The door was not closed, and Granny Mei walked in directly, "Catechumen, I want to say a few more words to you." ā
The welcome charm on the table did not move, Pan Sanye bowed respectfully to the old woman, lit the oil lamp on the table, and took the initiative to exit the room.
"Did you see my spell?"
"Well, I see"
"What do you think?"
"Granny May...... Where did you get the idol?" Xiao Qiu hoped to avoid the question.
"That was a few years ago, and the Old God Cult was thriving again, and people were spreading everywhere. Granny May waved her hand, "You see my spell, it works, it works, it works. I knew that what Chuan An said before he died would not be meaningless, but it wasn't until I met the old gods that I understood the true purpose of the spell......"
The more Granny Mei spoke, the more excited she became, as if it was not a young Taoist priest standing opposite her, but the resurrected Mei Chuan'an.
"Granny Mei, can you show me your idol?" Xiao Qiu interrupted the old woman as politely as she could.
Granny Mei showed a hint of hesitation, pondered for a moment, took out the statue from her arms, gently wiped it a few times with her sleeve, and handed it to Xiaoqiu with both hands.
Xiaoqiu also took it with both hands, and immediately knew that this statue was different, although it was a clay sculpture on the outside, there must be something copper and iron inside, so it was heavier.
He hadn't learned how to test an object for special powers, so he didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that if he damaged it, Granny May would lose her faith and dependence.
"Have you ever thought that the power of the spell actually comes from the idol?" Xiao Qiu returned the idol.
"Not from the gods, but from the old gods. Granny Mei carefully put away the idol, "My son said that this spell is a message, in fact, it is a message from the ancient gods, he had a premonition that the ancient gods would return to the world more than ten years ago, and voila-" The old woman became excited, "It's only been a few years, the ancient gods cult has been flourishing in the frontier, and it is advancing inward, and it will soon spread throughout the world!"
Xiaoqiu hesitated, but still didn't say the error of the spell, some things are so difficult to choose: mistakes and concealment can make a person live happily, but correctness and truth can destroy all hope for a person.
"I wish you a qiÄ shun lƬ. Xiaoqiu decided to end the conversation and prepare to leave.
"I said I would repay you. Granny May reached out and grabbed the young man's wrist, the palm of which was thin and almost as hot as burning coal, "On the night of the full moon of March 15, we will hold a ceremony to summon the gods in the mountains, that is, in the mountains where the wolves have fled, and as soon as you come, I will give you a gift, a treasure from the ancient gods." ā
"Pang Shan disciples can't accept ...... casually"
"I know the rules of Pang Mountain, you forget, I am from Jinghu Village, and my son is a master disciple of the Forbidden Secret Sect. There is no contradiction between the gift of the ancient gods and the cultivation of the Dao system, let me finish a matter on my mind, I came to the Immortal Collection for this matter. ā
"Okay. Xiaoqiu said perfunctorily, breaking free from the old woman's palm, putting away the welcome charm on the table, picking up the box with armor and walking out the door, "If I have time, I will definitely go." ā
"Not everyone can get the gifts of the Old Gods. Granny Mei said loudly, took out the idol again, raised it above her head and shook it twice, "You have to come, call Miss Qin too, Chuan An waited for ten years before telling the spell to the two of you, there must be a deep meaning, and the ancient gods also want to see you." ā
Xiao Qiu was not sure if he would go to the so-called Divine Summoning Ceremony on March 15, but he knew that Fang Fang would definitely not go, and he didn't even plan to tell Fang Fang about it.
There was a rope on the box, Xiaoqiu easily carried it, and said goodbye to Pan Sanye at the gate of the inn. There were not many residents in the Immortal Collection, but at this time, the streets were full of people, all of whom were talking about Granny Mei's wolf drive and the Ancient God Sect with great interest, so that no one paid special attention to the young Taoist priest of Pang Mountain.
Xiao Qiu sighed a lot, especially deeply puzzled about one point: the Nine Great Dao Tong obviously has an incomparably powerful power, which is enough to make the so-called miracles of the Ancient God Sect not worth mentioning, but the Dao Tong is accustomed to Taoguang and obscurity, and does not participate in mortal affairs, and even the spell itself does not like to manifest, ordinary people who have not opened their eyes and have not reached the heavens, they can't even see the effect of the spell, and can only see a faint glimmer that is not very clear.
If it was a few years ago, Xiao Qiu would have felt that Dao Tong's choice was very wrong, but now he thinks that there must be a reason for this, but he can't understand it just now.
Those Taoist priests who are still young after a hundred years, how different the world in their eyes should be from ordinary people, and suddenly, even Shen Zhun's demon and Yang Baozhen's non-stop giving birth to "geniuses" don't seem so weird.
Xiaoqiu was full of worries, so he was not surprised at all when he saw the people on the side of the road, and asked in the first sentence: "Is there really an ancient god? Why don't you tell everyone the truth?"
Sun Yulu's smile has a holy and charming brilliance at the same time in the reflection of the starlight, which is enough to make mortals obsessed with prostrate on the ground, and the little clay god statue can be defeated with a light yƬ.
"There are many 'gods' in this world, and there are countless sects, if you read the history of the Taoist system for more than 130,000 years, you will know that these gods and sects always rise and die suddenly, like a wildfire once every few years, like a demon clan that does not admit defeat in the land of demons. Do you have to go to great lengths to tell the truth? No, you just have to watch. Taoism is like a mountain, the mortal world is like water, you don't need to care about those waves. Our only enemies are demons and demons. ā
Xiao Qiu nodded solemnly, he had a similar answer in his heart, but it was said by a Daoist priest of Dining Xia, which still made him more convinced.
"I'm sorry, someone may have leaked the secret, Old Ancestor Feng may already know about me asking you for help. ā
"I know that there is a Taoist priest who is following you and even wants to eavesdrop on you in the inn. ā
"You see the stalker?"
Sun Yulu snorted and didn't say the identity of the stalker, "Come on, I'll take you to the Ancestor Tower of Yangshen Peak." ā
Without waiting for Xiaoqiu to speak, Sun Yulu stepped up to him and held up one of his arms, "Do you know how the Lantern Candle Branch flies?"
Xiao Qiu shook his head, and suddenly the flames around him burst into flames, but there was no trace of heat, and then the flames rose to the sky, carrying the two of them into the air dozens of zhang, drawing a huge arc, and flying to the north. The mortals of the Immortal Collection could not see this flying flame.
The Ranjing Mountain Sect took itself to raise the Divine Peak so openly, Xiaoqiu was puzzled.
