Twelve, Fu Zhen
Twelve, Fu Zhen
Bai Yu's body dodged the attack with a swift movement, but his heart was filled with cold laughter. You want to play sneak attacks? Save it. He quickly stood up straight and didn't bother with Dong Xiaoyu's head, directly slashing his sword towards her shoulder. "Pak" A burst of sparks flew out, sending her body flying several meters away. Her head and body separated, yet she could still feel the pain, letting out a blood-curdling scream that echoed throughout the empty mansion.
With a flick of his wrist, a talisman appeared in his hand. He tossed it out, and the charm hit Dong Xiaoyu's body with unerring accuracy. As soon as the charm stuck to her, wisps of green smoke rose from her body, and she let out another mournful wail that sent shivers down one's spine.
Bai Yu let out a cold snort and said, "Now I'm giving you one chance. Go wait for your reincarnation and don't bother Autumn again. Are you listening or not?" Then he bent down to pick up Dong Xiaoyu's head from the ground and threw it back beside her body, letting her put it back on. His eyes were coldly staring at her.
Dong Xiaoyu saw her own head return to its original place, and she hid her ghostly appearance. She looked up at Qiusheng, who was being pressed down by the stone statue, his face bright red, and in her eyes, there was a hint of reluctance. Bai Yu coldly snorted and said: "You should know that if you're with him, it will harm him."
Dong Xiaoyu bit her teeth secretly after hearing Bai Yu's words, withdrew her gaze, and turned to look at Bai Yu without speaking, only nodding lightly. However, a pair of eyes had already become blurry, with tears falling like pearls. Is this the love that has been cherished for so long? It has reached such a state! Bai Yu cursed secretly.
She nodded and White Feather immediately walked to the front of the mountain, took down the talisman, and then waved her hand saying: "Hurry up and leave!" Dong Xiaoyu looked at Qiusheng with a reluctant gaze one last time before suddenly disappearing into thin air amidst a whirlwind. The wind was very strong, even blowing dust inside the house, causing White Feather to cover his eyes with both hands. After a while, they shook off the dust and opened their eyes to find that the originally clean room had transformed into an abandoned mansion filled with spider webs. It turned out that everything earlier was just an illusion created by the female ghost's magic. The system's voice rang out at this time: "Mission completed, host receives 300 exchange points."
White Feather nodded in satisfaction and came to Akio's side, pinched a seal on his hand, and dispelled the偶人术 (偶人 means "偶" as in "偶像", or idol, and "人" as person), saying: "Stand up."
At this time, Qiusheng came back to his senses, moved his legs and feet, and felt that he could move. He stood up with a puzzled face and asked Bai Yu: "Master uncle, what just happened? Why did I feel like there was a stone on my body?"
Bai Yu hastily forced a laugh and said: "Oh, is that so? It must be the pressure of being possessed by a ghost. Earlier, it was just a female ghost, after all."
"Really?" Akio asked somewhat disbelievingly, and then asked: "Then Master Uncle, how did you end up here?"
"I," Bai Yu was taken aback, but quickly reacted, "I was thinking of selling a few live chickens to deal with the zombies, but when I arrived, I discovered this female ghost, so I'll take a look at what she wants to do. But didn't expect it was plotting against you." Then, with a face full of warm anger, he said: "This female ghost's acting skills are so bad, you didn't even notice her flaws, I think you're really infatuated, seeing a woman and becoming complacent. Fortunately, this ghost's nature is not bad and has a liking for you, if it were a fierce ghost or evil spirit, you might have already been gnawed to the bone."
"Master Shu is right, we've been delayed here for too long and should head back. Otherwise, Master will worry. The rain outside seems to have stopped, let's hurry up and go."
"Is it raining?" Bai Yu was puzzled for a moment, but then reacted and realized that this was the female ghost's trick to leave Qiu Sheng behind. She patted him on the back and walked towards the door, saying "Let's go, it's not raining at all."
The two arrived at the Yi Zhuang already in the middle of the night, but inside the Yi Zhuang was still lit up. Ninth Uncle sat on a recliner and had fallen fast asleep. Wenchai was also extremely tired, standing by the bed as if he was about to collapse. Bai Yu let out a helpless sigh and came over to the bedside, gently patting him and saying: "Wenchai, don't fall asleep."
Wen was startled and suddenly jolted, his mind clearing a bit. He thought it was only Ninth Uncle, but habitually let out a miserable cry: "Ah, Master, I'm not asleep, I'm still moving."
However, this suddenly woke up the sleeping Ninth Uncle. The ninth uncle's body shook, and his heart rate suddenly accelerated a lot. Hearing that it was Wenchang's voice, he felt uncomfortable in his heart and didn't even bother to open his eyes, scolding him warmly: "What are you yelling about? Get out of here quickly." After finishing speaking, he found a comfortable posture again and fell asleep. Wenchang suddenly became honest, where is the master? Who is behind him? He looked back, but saw Bai Yu staring at the two masters with a stunned expression.
Wencai patted his chest and said in a low voice with resentment in his eyes: "Master Shu, you scared me to death."
Bai Yu was speechless at this time, what a weird pair of master and apprentice. He helplessly shook his head and said to Wen Cai: "Hurry up and get moving, otherwise you'll be stiff all over by morning."
"Okay," Wen hurriedly nodded in agreement and started moving again.
Bai Yu returned to his room, closed the door, but was wide awake and couldn't fall asleep. There was still one final task to complete before he could leave, and he didn't know how much time he would have left after completing it, or if he would ever be able to come back. He had to admit that although his time with Jiu Shu and San Shi was short, they had formed a strong bond. In contrast, interacting with the people in this movie world was relatively simple, unlike his own reality where everyone had their own agendas and calculations.
"He asked in his heart: 'System, can I come back later?'"
"It's possible, as long as the host spends a certain amount of exchange points, they can come to the world they've experienced at any time." The system's response made Bai Yu's heart involuntarily filled with joy.
A thousand thoughts in mind, thinking of heart affairs gradually fell asleep.
Next, Bai Yu naturally knew the extent of the zombie's ferocity when it came next time. To know that in the movie, the first time it attacked Ren Tingting, the zombie was still jumping, but at the end, the zombie had a hint of normal human characteristics. Not only were its facial features almost restored, but even when walking, it walked step by step. Moreover, its intelligence seemed to have grown significantly, as evidenced by its ability to climb onto the roof and enter through the skylight. In the Maoshan Secret Classics, this was a sign of absorbing enough fresh blood to achieve small success. Such a zombie would be several times stronger than before, and with Bai Yu's current power and thin magical powers, it would be difficult for him to win, unless his magical powers had grown significantly, by several times. However, this was somewhat difficult. Although Bai Yu's magical powers grew every day, they were only growing at a rate of two or three threads per day, and even if he reached the maximum of seventeen or eighteen threads, it would still be like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water. In order to effectively deal with the zombie that had achieved small success by drinking enough fresh blood, and not end up in a sorry state like Jiu Shu and others in the original story, Bai Yu made sufficient preparations.
He studied for a whole morning and finally found a method, that is, to use the formation technique! The formation technique generally requires preparing many rare materials to set up, but Mao Shan has a type of formation technique that doesn't need to worry about these. That is Mao Shan's unique symbol array! The symbol array technique is one of Mao Shan's specialties and also comes in many varieties. He wants to use one of them, which is a type of array technique set up with special symbols. Its characteristic is convenient to carry and has considerable power.
This talisman looks no different from ordinary talismans, just a piece of paper. But when using magical powers to throw it out, it will explode and transform into a talisman paper array pillar around the target. Of course, the method of this array is not simple either, it is to connect a stack of talismans with the same attributes into one! It can be seen that the difficulty lies in the need for a certain level of proficiency in making talismans, and also requires cleverly grasping the technique of making talisman arrays.
However, for Jiu Shu and the others, learning how to make the Fu Zhen in two days was an extremely difficult task with no hope of success. After Bai Yu told them about this method, he asked Jiu Shu to work together to create it, but Jiu Shu shook his head directly, saying that he didn't have the talent for learning array techniques. He also said that when he was young, he had studied array techniques for several years, including the Fu Zhen, but ultimately achieved nothing.
Helpless, Bai Yu didn't force himself and locked himself in the room to study alone. It's undeniable that the Mao Shan lineage is profound, with its techniques changing and transforming in countless ways. Just this symbol array technique alone has hundreds of varieties. There are those that restrict the enemy's movements, those that confuse the enemy, those that harm the enemy, and those that destroy the enemy.
Although Bai Yu had memorized all the secret methods of the Cao Shan secret art in his mind, the sudden surge of so much information still gave him a headache. So he first relaxed himself and found one type, the Enemy Annihilation Formation. As for that zombie, naturally, he couldn't show mercy.
After roughly browsing, he finally chose a formation that could be used to stabilize and extinguish the zombies - the Exorcism Formation! His hands still had a large number of exorcism talismans from last time, which were scattered all over the house, so he didn't need to waste a lot of energy drawing new exorcism talismans, but only needed to focus on making the formation talismans.
He no longer hesitated, carefully thinking back to every step and general method of making the array symbol. After completely clarifying it in his mind, he began to make it. With his current magical powers, making an array symbol was still somewhat difficult, so he had to master every technique to conserve his own magical powers.
