Chapter 212: Steal half a day’s leisure The silver-eating ghost ate ten taels of silver in this meal, and said that he would divide the rest into several meals, and then returned to the wood carving. "Fuyao, can you open the window for me?" “Very good!” The fox jumped up and opened the window. The sun was shining brightly outside. Lin Jue sat horizontally on the couch, leaning against the armrest, in a very comfortable posture, and took out the ancient book and opened it. "Wow..." There really was a new page on it— Stone Sealing Technique, Five Elements Magic.
By performing this technique, flowers, trees, humans, birds, animals, and fish, except for floating, loose, and flowing objects and except for gold, all can be sealed into the stone. Beginners can use their breath to cast spells, which can turn the surface of a human body into soil and stone for a moment; those who are more advanced can chant a spell with their fingers, which can turn a person's entire body into stone for half a day or several days; those who are more advanced do not need to chant a spell, and can turn everything in front of them into stone at the same time, which can last for months or years; the powerful ones can seal people into stone for eternity. When fighting with others, the higher your own level of Taoism and the deeper your attainments, the more difficult it will be to resist or break free from your magic. To practice this method, one needs to be in tune with the spiritual rhythm of earth. "gold……" The gold mentioned here should refer to metal. As for those floating, loose and flowing things, it seems normal. It is impossible for people to seal water and clouds into stones. "really……" This method does indeed have some overlap with the technique of immobilization. But only a small part. If this spell is not advanced, it can be used to restrict and restrain the opponent just like the immobilization spell. However, the immobilization spell is strong and short, while this spell is slow and weak. If it is used in a fight, no matter how hard you use the immobilization spell, it will only last for a moment, while this spell can be used multiple times to stack the effects. If the skin on a person's arm can be turned into stone in one breath, even if the person is not completely unable to move or break free, he or she will be affected or injured after breaking free. The Stone Sealing Technique can still be used by exhaling, then sealing the other hand, then the body and feet. If one practices to a more advanced level, the difference between it and the immobilization technique will become greater as time goes by. "I can learn this spell. Regardless of whether it will be useful or not, it should be easy for me to learn." At this time, Lin Jue had already learned the techniques of Mountain Pressure Top, Pointing Stone into General, and the Fossil Method which was very similar to the Stone Sealing Technique. Many of the principles here were universal, and he speculated that it should be easy to learn. However, it is easier and more necessary for the junior sister. Lin Jue was thinking this when he heard a gurgling sound in the room. Like a stone rolling across the floor.
Turning around and looking - The fox at home was running and jumping back and forth in the room, while poking a small ball with its paw. It first poked the ball from one side with its paw, causing the ball to roll forward, and then immediately jumped up. Its slender body drew a rainbow-like arc in the air, and jumped to the other side before the ball. It turned around and just blocked the ball and poked it back. Repeat the cycle over and over again, entertaining yourself, isn't it fun? Lin Jue stared at the small ball. It looked like a ball made of rags. I don't know where the cloth came from, but the cloth ball seemed to become hard and maintained its round shape without falling apart. Lin Jue waited for the ball to roll towards him and when it was less than three feet away from him, he spread out his hands. Get things from the air! The fox leaped in with the wind and landed right on the ground. When it landed, it habitually used its paw to flick away, but it flicked away air. "Hey?" The fox was shocked. Why are there always strange things happening lately? He looked up and around, and finally saw the small ball he made in Lin Jue's hand. The fox said nothing, but just walked over and looked up at him. Lin Jue confirmed as soon as he picked it up that this was indeed a cloth ball. After being rolled into a cloth ball, it turned into stone. Because the cloth is thin and breathable, one breath almost turned the entire cloth ball into stone from the inside out. It seems that I don't need to study this magic in depth. "You are clever." What Lin Jue boasted about was not that he had acquired the ability of the ground-horned snake and could use it so quickly, but that he had used it so cleverly that he could actually come up with this method on his own. Then he threw the ball. Brush it! A white shadow flew out and followed the ball. After a while, the ball rolled back to his feet. Lin Jue had originally planned to study this magic this morning and decide which two heroes would be used first with the two statues he had made, so that he could start carving in the afternoon. But now he had to stop and just use the ball to play with it. At first he just threw it with his hands, but later he felt that this was too slow and he couldn't keep up with it, so he attached a magical power to the stone cloth ball, chanted a spell to urge it to fly around, and the fox ran to chase it. Now that’s good, I’ve also practiced curse control. I have been busy in the past few days, and the things I encountered were not easy or interesting. Thanks to Fu Yao, I was able to relax for half a day and feel relaxed. …… Two days later. The pear tree in the yard actually blossomed in this late autumn. The fragrance was light and hard to detect unless you got close to smell it, but it was pleasant nonetheless.
The people in the village found it strange, and seeing such magical skills, they couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. Beautiful things and magical things are good medicine to comfort people. Under the tree, Mr. Yang sat with a cane in his hand, a few snow-white petals falling on his shoulders. He told the two brothers and sisters and the monk Luo what he knew in detail: “This matter begins with my nephew. “He offended a monster in Fanghua County. "My nephew was an official in the imperial court. He was ordered to inspect Fanghua County and found that the locals believed in a god called Green Water Fairy. The fairy had an altar in a deep valley. The altar was backed by a cliff so high that the top was invisible. It was surrounded by reeds and trees, and there was often mist. It was said that the most devout believers went to the altar and meditated sincerely. After a while, they would suddenly fly up. “Local people say that those believers have ascended to heaven and become gods, so many people rush to sit there every month. “And a lot of people have witnessed it.” As the old man spoke, he cast his gaze towards Lin Jue and Little Junior Sister. Seeing these two True Daoists frowning, he knew that there was indeed no such thing as becoming an immortal in the world. The monk Luo beside him also had no expression on his face and did not respond. Mr. Yang continued to narrate: “Although my nephew knows that there are demons, ghosts and spirits in this world, he still doesn’t believe that such a good thing can happen in the world and wants to see it with his own eyes. "He was smart since he was young. While others were watching from the front, he climbed up the cliff and went to the other side. After clearing away the weeds, he said he saw a monster casting a spell, catching people out of thin air and throwing them into the river from the other side of the cliff. "Frightened, he ran back and told the local people, but was criticized by the evil god's temple priest, and the people did not believe him. "That night, the monster came to him in a dream and warned him not to talk about it again. "My nephew is a man of strong character. He is not afraid of it. He just said that he is an important official of the court. If he dies here, the court will never tolerate him! Confront it! “The monster was afraid, so he used another method to warn him. "You two Taoist priests may not know that although our Yang family is not as prominent as some thousand-year-old families, we have been here for hundreds of years. In recent years, our clan school has invited famous teachers and produced many talents. Therefore, we are also well-known in the capital and even in the entire Qinzhou." Luo Seng, who was listening nearby, nodded in approval. Lin Jue didn't say anything, just gestured for him to continue. "That monster knew that my nephew was from the Runze Yang family, so he threatened him and said that he would destroy the entire Yang family. Although my nephew was not afraid, he still sent us a letter asking us to be more careful. However, we never thought that the monster would be so vicious and scheming..." "It seems that the monster took advantage of the black zombie that has always existed here." Luo Seng analyzed, "There may also be other magic involved." "Ah." Lin Jue also nodded. The black zombie couldn't speak and was already dead. This kind of thing was impossible to investigate in the first place, and it was even more difficult to investigate now. "Since I resigned from my official position, I have been traveling around and seeing all these ghosts and strange things. I have to go and see such things." Luo Seng said decisively. "I also want to go." "If Mr. Luo and the two Taoist priests are willing to go and check it out, no matter whether what my nephew said is true or false, our Yang family is willing to raise enough money for the travel expenses and give it to Mr. Luo and the Taoist priests." The old man said immediately. "That's not necessary." "Go back and have a rest, old man." The old man had no choice but to stand up, shake off the pear blossoms on his body, look up at the flowers on the tree with his cloudy eyes, and walk back tremblingly.
While they were talking, the snake horns had dried. Luo Seng moved his hands on the winnowing basket, and the numerous drug-absorbing stones made dry and crisp sounds, like many pebbles colliding. Luo Seng immediately tried it with the two heroes. Lin Jue was also watching carefully from the side. I saw a drug-absorbing stone stuck on the wound of one of the two heroes. The originally gray and dry color gradually turned darker and wetter. The swollen wound of the hero gradually subsided, and even the black color was slowly fading away in a trance. Lin Jue was a monk after all, so he investigated more thoroughly. The corpse poison and corpse gas in the wounds of the hero were indeed decreasing. On the contrary, the color of the drug-absorbing stone became slightly darker, with corpse poison and corpse gas accumulating in the middle, and even the yin and yang spiritual rhythms were changing. That "Empress Yaohua" did not lie to them. In that case, she should really be on the side of Empress Yaohua. “It really works!” Luo Seng also breathed a sigh of relief. The people around were delighted when they heard this, and those who were lying on the ground basking in the sun were even more grateful that they had survived a disaster. After a few more days, all the corpse poison in the village was eliminated. Lin Jue also had a clear understanding of this drug-absorbing stone. The only regret is that although this drug-absorbing stone can be reused after cleaning, it cannot be used indefinitely. Its effect will become worse and worse until it breaks. Otherwise it could become a family heirloom. Lin Jue carried some drug-absorbing stones that had only been used once or twice, and it was time to leave. Countless people from Yangjia Village came to see them off. Lin Jue bowed to the buffalo and said goodbye. The two martial artists, whose bodies were wrapped in cloth and whose wounds had not yet healed from the poison, stayed in the village and also exchanged greetings with Luo Seng. He turned around and left the place. Before we knew it, it was already late autumn. I don’t know which autumn wind caused it, but even the fruit leaves of the Koelreuteria trees on the mountain have fallen. A horse and two donkeys trampled the fallen leaves in the countryside. "I also know Fanghua County. It's hundreds of miles away from here, and it's also by the Weishui River." Luo Seng's face was vicissitudes, and his voice was calm. "We will pass by Runze County later. There is a reward in the county government. You two can go with me, or you can wait for me outside the city. I will collect it and we can split it equally." "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Luo." Lin Jue paused for a moment, but his attention was focused on the three words "Wei Shuihe": "I heard that there was a river god in Weishui River, but he was killed by a monster. Does Lord Luo know about this?" "I don't know." Luo Seng said, "Although I have traveled the world and slayed demons, I only know which gods are effective and which monsters are fierce, and how many blows they can withstand. I don't know anything about these gods, demons and ghosts."
"Then Lord Luo doesn't know about the 'Crocodile King'?" "I have heard of that." "Ok?" "I heard it from a dying monster. It seems to be the leader of the monsters causing trouble here." Luo Seng said, "I don't know where the monster is, otherwise I would find it and kill it with a knife." "Mr. Luo is very courageous." "Master, are you saying that the monster that killed the Weishui River God in the rumors is this Crocodile Dragon King?" "hearsay." "Um……" Luo Seng also keenly sensed that something was wrong. The incident seemed to have happened right beside the Weishui River. Then the group of people walked in silence. The weathered warrior holding a sword walked in front, looking like the protector of the two Taoists behind him. When passing through Runze County, he was given another reward. The bamboo basket on the donkey's back was getting heavier and heavier. (End of this chapter)
