Now that she had decided to have an apostle, Yuan Xianger began to do meticulous preparations.
She has indeed practiced a lot of magic techniques over the years, but she still lacks the experience of fighting demons in real exorcism.
I don't know if it's because there was a master who had been here for many years, but in Queqiu Town, there have been almost no evil spirits that harm mankind in these years. The three or two little monsters that appeared occasionally were not Yuan Xianger's opponents at all. They either became her playmates, or they became the targets of her bullying.
Yuan Xianger had read through a lot of classics and knew that it was a risky thing to sign a master-slave contract with the demon.
For example, it was mentioned in the book "The Secret of the Cave" in her hand that the demons are likely to resist strongly when they form a contract, and the caster needs to be convinced by the power of mana. If the skill of the caster is not enough to make the demon willingly submit, it is possible to devour himself at a critical juncture, resulting in injury or death. Therefore, when most high-gong mages contracted the apostles, they would rather seriously injure the demons first, and then imprison them with a formation, in order to be safe.
Should I be beaten to death first? Yuan Xianger closed the scroll and sighed.
She remembered that when Master was at home, he got along very well with the apostles, such as Zhizhi and Xiqu.
Maybe Master has something different from others.
In Master's study, although he collected the essentials of the classics and the secrets of magic techniques of the major metaphysical schools in the world, he did not leave a single word of his own. Yuan Xianger still knew her master very well. Although Yu Yao was highly skilled, his literary quality was similar to that of himself when he was seven or eight years old. It's not bad to be able to read through those obscure words, it's really too reluctant to want him to write a book.
Yuan Xianger put the little things in and out of the sash and backpack for going out.
The imperial bell, the array map, the talisman, the short knife, the emergency medicine, the water bottle, the cake, the snacks... Ah, it seems that a lot of unnecessary things have been mixed in.
She has lived in Queqiu Town at the foot of the Tianlang Mountain since she was seven years old. The surrounding hills and valleys have been familiar since she was a child. Mountain forest activities within a radius of several miles.
The entire Sirius Mountain Range, a hundred thousand mountains, is vast and boundless, and the area is unknown. The depths of the jungle are inaccessible. It is rumored that it is the domain of the demons, and it no longer belongs to the human world.
This time, Yuan Xianger was a little nervous to enter the depths of the big mountain forest alone.
But after so many years of practicing magic, I have to try it. Don't go too far, just catch some little monsters who have transformed into lynx and wild dogs and come back to watch the house.
The virgin forest is full of towering ancient trees, vines lingering, moss and clothes everywhere, and the brilliance of the scorching sun cannot penetrate. This is a chaotic and dim world.
Yuan Xianger wore a short brown suit that was easy to move, holding a bamboo stick, stepping on the thick dead leaves, pushing aside the long grass and dead vines, and exploring all the way.
Spiritual phantoms, which are very rare in the town on weekdays, abound in this place. Between the branches and leaves, in the shade of rocks and moss, rows of small heads popped up from time to time, and they looked curiously at Yuan Xianger, an alien who had broken into the forest.
Yuan Xiang'er was squatting and using a piece of cake to tempt a little rabbit who was hiding behind a tree not far away,
The little goblin was only about a foot tall, with a pair of fluffy bunny ears hanging from the back of his head, and two small hands stretched out from the snow-white sleeves, timidly trying to pick up Yuan Xianger's hand biscuits, and a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, I'll give it to you." Yuan Xiang'er carefully handed the cake forward, "Hey, would you like to be my apostle?"
The rabbit spirit heard her speak, jumped in shock, jumped back into the grass with a thud, and disappeared.
"Even the rabbit spirit failed." Yuan Xiang'er sighed in frustration, sat down on a thick tree root, looked at the fragrant noodles in her hand, and ate it herself.
Should I still bring carrots
She rummaged through her belongings. In fact, there are many instruments in the storeroom at home, such as the three clear bells, the jade emperor seal, the canopy ruler, and the gossip mirror, all of which are covered with dust and placed on a shelf. But Yuan Xianger mainly carried a talisman made by herself over the years, in addition to a dispelling imperial bell and a seven-star dagger to protect her body.
Master Yu Yao, regardless of whether to suppress demons or exorcise ghosts, uses many spells and incantations, and does not like to rely on external things. Yuan Xianger, who was under his tutelage, also likes to study the way of spells.
Today, she is no longer the little girl she was seven years ago, and the Shikong calligraphy is no longer a problem. Just now, if a five thunder talisman was ruthlessly sacrificed, that kind of delicate and weak rabbit spirit, I am afraid that it will be roasted and tender in an instant. She thinks of the timid and cowardly appearance of the little rabbit, and she feels reluctant to bear it, and it is funny in her heart. , In addition to being cute, such apostles are probably useless in the yard.
Just thinking about it, a yellow-haired monkey swept past her eyes, snatched the basket beside Yuan Xianger, and rushed to the high tree branch, waving triumphantly and jokingly at Yuan Xianger,
"Hey hey, I haven't seen a human here for many years. Let me see what I brought to honor your grandfather."
Yuan Xiang'er was furious, pinched a "twist" with one hand, and scolded: "Get down!"
The yellow-haired monkey couldn't prevent her from having this hand. For a while, she felt that her body was caught by some kind of powerful force, and she could no longer stand on the top of the tree.
Yuan Xiang'er caught the basket that fell from the air with her left hand, pinched the "well" with her right hand to trap the fallen monkey demon, and with her backhand she threw out a yellow talisman. , in an instant, there were bursts of thunder in the air.
"Forgive your life, Daxian spare your life. You can't split it, you can't split it." The yellow monkey was very alert. Seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly raised his hand to bow, grabbed the ground with his head, and begged for mercy.
"You...will you be my apostle? If you want, I can spare your life." Yuan Xiang'er asked him.
"I'm willing, I'm willing, I can follow Daxian's left and right, what's not to want. I'm definitely willing."
The monkey's demeanor when speaking is the same as that of a human being, inexplicably slick and ingratiating, and it looks very funny.
Yuan Xiang'er put away the five thunder talismans in the air with suspicion. Unexpectedly, the monkey demon was not as incompetent as it appeared. As soon as he turned over, he broke free from the shackles of the "well" art, and several jumped to escape into the depths of the jungle.
While running, he turned his head and grinned at Yuan Xiang'er, showing a fierce look on his face.
Miss Yuan was angry, and she chased after her, "It's you, fight to death first, and then become an apostle. It seems that the words of the seniors are not wrong at all."
But the forest is the world of monkeys after all, not to mention a monkey that has become a fine. Yuan Xianger quickly lost track of the Yellow Monkey and had to stop and rest.
Rabbits are too timid and monkeys are too cunning. What kind of goblin is appropriate to catch
Yuan Xianger also knew the reason for her failure in her heart. After all, she still lacked actual combat experience, and her heart was not decisive enough.
The next one you see, no matter what race it is, will be seriously injured first and then taken home. She made a decision in her heart.
In the depths of the dark jungle, there was a faint sound of shredding. Yuan Xianger, who was very sensitive to spiritual power, sensed the movement, and separated the branches of the bush and walked over quietly.
It was a huge banyan tree with twisted roots, and there was a mass of silver-gray stuff on the edge of the sturdy roots.
Yuan Xiang'er walked over there cautiously, and the light of fireflies suddenly flew from the grass, but the messy ball of hair lying in the long grass remained motionless.
Yuan Xianger used a branch to gently turn him over, and found that it was an immature wolf pup. It was badly injured, its hind legs were bitten off, its abdomen was cut open, and the blood all over its body almost covered its original hair. s color. In the jungle, even a fight between beasts is usually a bite of the enemy's neck. Yuan Xiang'er looked at the large and small wounds and couldn't figure out what was the reason why such a young beast would be attacked and tortured by such a group.
It's a pity that although it desperately broke free and escaped here, it is estimated that it will not survive in the end. Yuan Xiang'er used a branch to poke the small white forelegs of the young wolf, and the forelimbs turned over weakly. On the furry tops were a few bulging little meat pads. The bloodstained little hairy claws trembled slightly under the tug of the branch.
It was still alive.
Yuan Xiang'er reached out and touched the little wolf's head lightly, and found that the ears with fine fluff trembled slightly in her palm, and then shook again.
Then the wolf cub opened its eyes, and almost as soon as it opened its eyes, it supported its front legs and tried to stand up.
Behind the surrounding dark forest, between the leaves, pairs of eyes lit up, accompanied by the beast's low voice. In the darkness, all kinds of little monsters in the jungle gathered together. They seemed to be coveting the flesh and blood of this injured young wolf, but perhaps because they were afraid of something, they were hesitant to come out.
The young wolf was so badly injured that it arched its back and made a low guttural sound. The front feet trembled and tried its best to support the body, but in the end it was unable to continue, and after a while, it collapsed to the ground. The demon in the dark seemed to be excited immediately.
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, but she believes that as long as she leaves together, this young wolf will immediately be torn to pieces by the little monsters lurking around and devoured.
Yuan Xianger looked at the wolf monster on the ground with its eyes open all the time, and felt a little sad for him. He is still so young, but he can only wait here to die. Of course, the lifespan of demons is different from that of humans. Some cubs that look very small may actually have passed through hundreds of springs and autumns.
Just leave him alone, take him back, treat him once, make him an apostle, and keep him in the yard.
Yuan Xianger has the character to act immediately when she thinks of it. She cleared the contents of the bag and carefully picked up the injured wolf and put it in. The immature wolf was so thin that it just fit into the whole. in her backpack.
The demons in the shadows around him became agitated and let out a low roar after another.
"Human, this is not your business."
"Do you know what you took with you?"
Yuan Xianger ignored them, took up the basket and walked out. She could notice that the people hiding in the dark were all little goblins with low spiritual power. If they didn't leave immediately, it would be a little troublesome if they attracted big goblins passing by.
A monster in the shape of a porcupine couldn't hold it in any longer, and jumped out of the hiding place, two sharp fangs flashing coldly, and rushed towards Yuan Xiang'er.
Yuan Xianger suddenly turned around with his fingers, and took out a yellow talisman. The rune drawn by cinnabar broke away from the talisman paper in the air and turned into a bright fire phoenix. To that huge monster. The pig demon fell from the air, rolled back and forth on the ground a few times with howling and howling in a panic, and fled back to the depths of the jungle with its tail still on fire.
The little fairies suddenly dispersed. Yuan Xianger had already run out of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range while taking advantage of the chaos. Back to Queqiu Town.
