Chapter 9: The Book of 100,000 Witches (I)
It was dark, and the cold wind ghosts on the ice field cried wolf, as if they were about to swallow the whole world.
Ji Chengche sat on the sleigh tightly wrapped in the big man, trying to keep his eyes wide open and wide again, so as not to fall into a dream unconsciously.
Lin Yin entered the tent, and dozens of snow mastiffs were lying in the snow next to him, except for a few scattered around the vigil, the others were snoring.
By the light of the bonfire, Ji Chengche looked at the wheel against the sky.
He was bored spinning the star wheels, not knowing what this thing was for.
Suddenly, his lower abdomen hurt violently, like an ice blade piercing.
Ji Chengche's heart tightened and said, "It's not good, the witch Gu has attacked!"
He hurriedly rummaged through the skin bag, only to remember that the last two Ten Thousand Year Holy Dragon blood had been smeared on his face by himself and Lin Yin.
Oh no, Ji Chengche only felt that the pain in his body was unbearable, and the witch Gu that had been dormant for many days was like a flood beast making a comeback, and the momentum was even stronger than before!
He tried his best to endure it, but soon his body shrunk into a ball of pain and convulsed.
The snow mastiff was extremely alert, and they all raised their heads to look at Ji Chengqing, and let out a low roar in their throats.
"What's wrong again?" Lin Yin got up and walked out of the tent when he heard the movement, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ji Chengqing.
Ji's clear facial features were twisted and tangled together with the bridge of his nose as the center, but he waved his hand at Lin Yin, meaning to let him go back to sleep.
When encountering a witch attack, even Ju Chongde was helpless, what use could Lin Yin have on the side? What's more, he didn't want this liar to watch the monkey show.
Lin Yin returned to the tent without saying a word, and after a while, he took out a small piece of black branch, stuffed it into Ji Cheng's mouth and said, "Bite it, bite hard!"
Needless to say, Ji Chengche had already bitten the branch hard, and suddenly felt a bitter juice seeping out of it, and quickly ran down his throat, how uncomfortable the taste was.
But in this way, the pain in his body was actually reduced a little, and it seemed that the sap in the branch could help people get rid of the pain.
"This is a bitter dragon claw, which can anesthetize people and not perceive pain. β
Lin Yin reached out and grabbed a large ball of ice and snow and wiped it back and forth on Ji Cheng's face, "What is wrong with you?"
Ji Chengqing was so cold that he almost lost sensation on his face, but he found that this was also a way to relieve pain.
He didn't dare to let go of the bitter dragon claw, and said inarticulately: "I fell into the witch Gu ......"
"Five grains?" Lin Yin heard the difference, "Why do you plant five grains and roll on the ground in pain?"
Ji Chengche rolled his eyes at Lin Yin: "Bitter Dragon Claw...... And more, the more the merrier!"
Lin Yin said categorically: "No, people who overdose on the bitter dragon claw will pass out, and may even lose their lives." β
Ji Cheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he gasped: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, and then ...... Give me a little more...... Hurry, hurry!"
Lin Yin hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took a small piece of bitter dragon claw and said, "Take your time, don't suck it dry all at once." β
Ji Chengche didn't hear it, and bit the bitter dragon claw and sucked it desperately.
The juice entered her throat, Ji Cheng's head became heavier and heavier, and her ears buzzed as if she had entered a wonderful state.
He tried his best to keep himself awake, grabbed the anti-heaven wheel in his arms with both hands, and said silently over and over again: "I don't want to sleep, I don't want to sleep, I don't ...... To sleep, to sleepβ"
The next moment, he heard an angry voice in his ears: "Why did you make me wait so long?"
"Old ...... Grandpa?" Ji Chengche looked up in shock, and saw himself standing in the mysterious hall again.
He complained bitterly in his heart, but he heard Tang Yu say with a little anger: "Why, you seem to be very reluctant to see the old man?
Ji Chengche almost blurted out: "Why are you still pestering me when I didn't beg you, go find those who beg you!"
Fortunately, he held back from the precipice and replied casually: "What creation?"
Tang Yu said proudly: "This third thing, worship the old man as a teacher!"
"What?!" Ji Chengche was dumbfounded, unable to believe that a dead man would actually accept him as an apprentice.
Tang Yu said with a cold expression: "You don't want to?"
"Willing...... Of course I do! The old man took me as an apprentice, which was a great blessing. β
Ji Cheng said with a wit: "But...... I already have a master. β
Tang Yu's gloomy face was full of confusion, and he sneered: "In the whole world, who dares to rob the apprentice with the old man?!"
Ji Cheng said: "My master is ...... Mr. Big. β
"It turned out to be him?" Tang Yu was stunned, nodded and said: "The hero sees the same thing, but this time Yu Tianze's vision is also good. β
Only then did Ji Chengche know that Mr. Big's real name was Yu Tianze, and it sounded like he was familiar with Tang Yu.
Sure enough, Tang Yu said: "I see that the little Qiankun in your body is not divided, and the time for wanting to worship him as a teacher is still short." Hehe, the old man said that he had to be the first to get there. β
Ji Chengche had a premonition that something big was not good, and before he could open his mouth to argue, he was swept away by Tang Yu's sleeves: "Apprentice!"
Ji Chengche "plopped" and knelt straight to the ground, like a puppet "knock knock" three times and nine bows, even if it was a bow to the teacher.
His head hit the ground and his eyes were full of gold stars, and he finally struggled to stand up, and then heard Tang Yu say: "Very good, from now on you will be the old man's closed disciple!"
Ji Chengche was tearful and wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry, and scolded this dead ghost liar in his stomach for being rampant and domineering and bullying people.
Tang Yu was extremely conceited in his life, and thought that Ji Chengche was crying under excitement, and said with satisfaction: "Since the fate of master and apprentice is a match, the old man naturally wants to teach you." However, this wisp of my primordial spirit only lasts for a hundred days at most, and it cannot be manifested from time to time. Fortunately, the old man has been prepared, you come here!"
Ji Chengche stood up inexplicably and looked at the tens of thousands of books in the alcove in front of him.
Tang Yu said: "There are 100,000 witch books here, all of which are incarnated by the old man with his divine sense, not only the supreme divine skills of my witch clan, astronomy, geography, fishing, woodwork, cultivation, and reading, metallurgy, lacquer making, medicine, and the art of war...... It's all-encompassing. Due to the time constraints, I can't teach them all one by one, so you have to memorize them all within three months, and then slowly understand them later. With your understanding, as long as you are not lazy, you will be able to see the holy realm of empty light in thirty or fifty years. β
"Three months, memorize 100,000 volumes of witchcraft?" Ji Cheng's head almost burst with a "buzz".
"Boy, the three months I say is in your time. But in this temple of the old man's divine consciousness, as long as you fall asleep, you can come in at any time, and one night is enough to be worth thirty or fifty days. So you have ten years to memorize and memorize these 100,000 witches, and you have plenty of time. β
Tang Yu continued: "If there is anything unclear in it, the old man will guide you through the maze. When you learn 100,000 witches, you will be the first person in my witchcraft in the future!"
The first person?
Ji Cheng thought with a sad face, a volume of witch books is a few thousand words, and 100,000 witch books are astronomical numbers.
In the future, will you still have time to sleep?
Tang Yu snorted coldly when he saw him with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Don't you want to be lazy, the old man will teach you every five days." If you pass the test, it's fine, if you don't ......"
He smiled gloomily and showed a mouth full of shiny white teeth and said, "Such a stupid and lazy apprentice, it is better to eat a full meal and save effort!"
Ji Chengche quietly took two steps back, and swore with a stack of curses: "I promise not to be lazy!"
Tang Yu squinted at him and said, "The old man has never trusted anyone in his life, and you are no exception. As long as you follow the rules and do what the old man says, I won't eat you. But if you look for an opportunity to cheat and cheat, the old man has his own means to know. β
He thought that the eight or nine-year-old child should be very frightened and scared when he was packed up on this job, but who knew that Ji Cheng's eyes were pure and said, "I am obedient." β
The so-called debt is not worried, and he has already fallen into an unsolvable witch Gu on his body, and it is not a big deal to have another ghost possessed. Besides, the old ghost Tang Yu threatened to eat him on the surface, and in the end, it was still ambiguous whether he would play the real thing. Anyway, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided.
Tang Yu was a little disappointed when he saw Ji Chengqing's calm appearance, he stared at it, and with a "whoosh" sound, a scroll flew out of the alcove and fell into Ji Chengqing's hands.
"This "Wuxi Writings" is an introductory book of witchcraft, with a total of seventy-two volumes. You start memorizing from the first volume, and five days later, the old man will come to test the progress. β
Ji Chengche unfolded the page, only glanced at it and exclaimed, "Old man!"
"What's the matter?"
Ji Chengche spread the book in front of Tang Yu and said, "I don't recognize any of the words on it." β
Tang Yu suddenly realized that he was about to face a thorny problem, Ji Chengche was only eight years old, and these witch books were difficult for most adults to read, and he was asked to recite them like a blind man touching an elephant.
But how can I have time to teach him to read one by one?
Tang Yu couldn't help but be annoyed, and snorted: "What a big heart, you dare to lie to me? Even a three-year-old baby can recognize a few words!"
Ji Chengche flattened his mouth and said: "Who lied to you is a puppy! I began to read and write at the age of two, and I became a ...... at the age of three. In private schools, there are not 30,000 or 25,000 words I know. But the books you gave me, the words written are crooked, crawling......"
Needless to say, Tang Yu had already suddenly realized that he had screwed it himself.
100,000 witch books, all written in witch script. Ji Chengche's father is an immortal clan, and his mother is a demon clan, even if he is born a prodigy, it is impossible to recognize the witch character, no wonder he seems to be reading a book from heaven.
At this point, Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and the halo on the ancient book flowed as soon as his mind moved, and rows of trumpet Chinese characters slowly appeared next to each line of witch script, and asked, "Do you recognize it now?"
"Hmm. Ji Chengche nodded in response, wondering in his heart that since Tang Yu had such magical powers, why didn't he directly replace Wuwen with Chinese characters?
Tang Yu guessed Ji Chengche's confusion and explained: "These Chinese characters are just for you to use as a reference to learn Wuwen. Not to mention that many of the spells of my Wu clan must be recited in Wuwen, and changing them into Chinese characters is tantamount to asking for fish from a tree. β
Ji Chengche was distressed, it was unlucky enough to recite 100,000 witch classics in Chinese characters, and he had to learn witch literature from scratch......
When he was stunned, he met the two cold eyes on the other side, as well as the white teeth that were full of open mouths, Ji Chengqing hurriedly lowered his eyes and read silently seriously.
