I followed Chi You anxiously, always keeping about two steps away from him.
Is Chi You going to tell you the purpose of bringing me here? I quickly followed him and arrived at a clearing in the dense forest.
Chi You suddenly stood still, exuding a terrifying aura, and then he muttered something while his robe did not move in the wind.
not good!
I was shocked, remembering the spell Chi You used when he saved me and Liu Liu that day.
I couldn't help but think, my feet suddenly began to vibrate, and I carefully bent down to maintain balance.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, and a big crack opened in the ground beneath my feet. Then the second, third..., the small open space almost ran out of room to stay, and even the leaves of the surrounding trees fell off one after another. When I came down, I inadvertently looked up and found that Chi You had stood on top of the big tree at some point, leaving me awkwardly looking for a place to stand below.
I carefully found my footing and moved to the undamaged ground, but the cracks in the ground seemed to gradually catch up with my footsteps.
I wanted to find a place to stay on the tree like Chi You, so I used my strength to jump towards the largest tree next to me. After three steps, I climbed up to the lowest branch, barely able to stabilize my body.
"Hmph!" Chi You sneered, and the curses in his mouth kept coming, even more urgently.
I leaned closer to the tree trunk, alerting myself to the next spell. The withered leaves on the big tree had already covered the ground. The fresh leaves were scattered and shaken by the vibration. A leaf scratched the back of my hand, and a tingling sensation suddenly hit me.
not good! "I was shocked, and I already understood that this was Chi You's spell again. These light leaves had turned into sharp blades, cutting the passing branches and bark, and floated straight towards me.
I don't want to be sliced up!
In an instant, he exerted force on his feet and jumped to a relatively flat place under the tree. As soon as he landed, he rolled like a donkey to stabilize his body, but the surrounding soil also cracked instantly under Chi You's spell.
I suddenly lost my balance and my left leg fell into a crack in the ground.
I recalled that day when the quilboar fell into a crack in the ground and was instantly buried. At the critical moment, I pulled out the dagger and stuck it on the ground, as if I had used all my strength to pull out most of my body from the crack in the ground.
Before I could take a breath, several blade-like leaves floated towards me. I hastily used a dagger to deflect the leaves that were about to reach my face. The touch was very light but I could still feel the sharp edges of the leaves.
Now my footing was unstable, and there were sharp knives raining down on my head. My physical strength was on the verge of exhaustion. I lost my mind and fell into a crack in the ground again. At this time, I was exhausted.
Seeing this, Chi You stopped casting spells. I crawled out with difficulty, staggered to the open space in the distance, lay down and gasped for air.
Chi You slowly walked up to me.
"I didn't expect you to be able to hold on for so long. The potential of people in the early Yuan Dynasty is beyond my imagination. Don't worry, I won't take your life now. Today is just the beginning."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the cracked ground returned to its original state. "Don't pretend to be dead, we will get food later."
After saying that, Chi You jumped into the dense forest. I am lying on the ground now, recovering my strength while thinking about the dangerous situation just now in my mind.
Chi You's magic trapped me in this small open space. It can be said that there is no way to the sky and no door to the earth (there is a gap). If I directly attack Chi You himself, it will be like hitting an egg against a stone. It is really despairing. His confidence in escaping from Chi You's hands was reduced by one point.
"Today is just the beginning." It seems that Chi You wants to treat me as his sparring partner.
But this is clearly torture. In the evening, after serving Uncle Chi You's dinner, I moved the couch under the vines and flowers, and slowly fell asleep with my exhausted body and smelling the faint fragrance.
In the blur, I seemed to be dreaming. The surroundings were filled with white mist, and I couldn't see clearly what was ahead. The mist feels intangible, but it is extremely comfortable to put your hand into the mist, and it seems to relieve people's fatigue.
So I immersed my whole body in this white mist, and suddenly a warm current rushed straight to the sky, making me feel refreshed. Then the warm current spread all over my body, and the fatigue all over my body seemed to be dispelled.
In my sleep, the scene of the day reappeared again, but this time my perspective was different.
I was no longer running around on the ground, but from a higher perspective, even above Chi You, and I could hear the murmuring curses in his mouth.
The spell was vague at first, but gradually became clearer and clearer, until later it sounded like a bell! It keeps ringing in my ears!
I was suddenly frightened. I knew this was a dream, but I couldn't wake up from it.
I fell heavily to the ground, and neither "I" in front of me nor Chi You on the branch seemed to be able to see me.
If you can’t get away, join in!
I simply stood still and stopped covering my ears. I followed the chanting of the incantation and started chanting it loudly!
There are only eight short words, which are related to the secrets of the people in the early Yuan Dynasty, and it is not convenient to reveal them to you here.
As I recited it over and over again, I felt as if I had become a bell.
With each repetition of the mantra, my whole body felt like metal, trembling, and then the earth around me also resonated with me!
They vibrated with my frequency as my mantra followed, and I felt every molecule resonate with me.
I followed Chi You's example, and the ground in front of me instantly cracked! I was amazed, could I also master this spell?
I controlled the ground to open and close again, and repeated this process for about three times. Finally, I was exhausted and my consciousness became blurry and dissipated...
I don’t know how long I slept for. It was already evening when I woke up. Although the scenes I saw last night seemed like a dream, everything that happened was deeply imprinted in my mind, so real.
I looked around the cave and found that Chi You was not here, so I began to try hard to recall what happened in the "dream" last night.
As the dry spell sounded, I began to concentrate on feeling the dust on the ground like last night.
I chanted and gradually entered the feeling of trance, and the things around me became very clear. I thought about how I felt last night, and in my mind I wanted to collect all the gravel and dust in the cave.
Sand and gravel began to fly on the ground, and all the gravel rushed to one point, and finally formed a clod of soil.
I was overjoyed. I didn't expect that the first try would be so effective. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he prepared to take a breather under the flower vines.
Suddenly, my chest and abdomen felt like a heavy blow, followed by unbearable pain like a knot in my intestines. Such a familiar feeling, my mind immediately thought that Chi You's poison had relapsed.
I curled up on the ground with difficulty. The pain had drained all my strength, and soon my vision began to blur. Suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of me and handed a fruit to my mouth, "Eat it and you'll be fine."
I was almost dying, and I couldn't eat. I only heard a "pop" sound, and then a stream of sweet juice passed through my throat and entered my belly.
I immediately felt the pain subside, and things in front of me gradually became clearer, and I actually recovered.
"It seems that you have mastered some magic." Chi You looked at the clods of soil on the ground. "Your dream last night was an illusion created in your mind by me using the Soul Dream Heart Sutra and Yuling Pollen. You have to do something for me. , that’s far beyond what you can do.”
I suddenly realized that the healing effect of the white mist in the dream should come from the rhododendron flower.
"What's next?"
I had noticed that what Chi You wanted to do was not simple, so I simply asked directly.
"What's next," Chi You said intriguingly, "I want to see the potential of the legendary Yuanchu people."
The following days were Good Friday, and I was tortured by Chi You using magic in various places. At the same time, Chi You also showed his control over various powers, which dazzled me.
Hit me with stones, spray me with water, cut me with blades of grass, burn me with fire, summon typhoons to blow me... My original clothes have been scrapped long ago, and I changed to Chi You's robe.
After surviving many dangers, my physical fitness, agility and reaction speed have been greatly improved. I am now able to avoid Chi You's multiple spell attacks, and I am more proficient in using daggers.
Of course, I know very well in my heart that this is just his training for me to help him achieve his goal. If I go all out, I may be no different from the roasted wild boar these days.
At the same time, under the influence of Chi You's Soul Dream Heart Sutra, I gradually began to master some spell effects. Among them, my best and favorite was the trick Chi You used when he rescued me.
I can barely achieve the effects of earthquakes and ground cracking now, but in the future I will be unable to restore the landscape like Chi You.
I woke up normally in the morning and was wondering that I didn't have the magic training I was looking forward to last night. When I turned around, I found Chi You sitting on a tree stool.
"It's time." Chi You took off his hood and stared at me with a pair of copper bell-like eyes.
"I want to test the results of my teaching for so long."
I stood up and was on guard, but Chi You took out a fruit. The shape was similar to the one he poisoned me with, but the color was different. The fruit on Chi You's hand was red, but the one he tricked me into eating was cyan.
"You don't have to panic. This is a temporary antidote. It can suppress the poison in the body and prevent it from breaking out in the short term. You have already tasted it before."
Chi You directly threw the fruit over.
"I don't want you to die of poison on the road."
Then Chi You told me what he wanted me to do this time.
There is an altar 10 miles away from here. There are many guards and priests responsible for protecting it, and I need to sneak in quietly and get back the things enshrined on the altar.
"You'd better be careful on this trip. The priests there still have some ability."
"What exactly is being worshipped?" I asked him.
"Wouldn't you know it once you get it?"
Chi You reminded, "Also, if you are lucky, you can meet your centaurs and horses."
I started to frown when I first heard about the action, but now I finally heard something slightly gratifying.
I was about to ask him if he could help me when I was at a critical moment of life and death. But looking at his figure gradually entering the depths of the cave, he probably couldn't count on it.
I tidied up briefly, smelled the fragrance of the bell flowers, then walked out of the cave and set off towards the altar.
