The gravel overflowing from the Jiufu is very fine, like mineral sand without any dust, each grain is the purest khaki, as if they all came from some unknown desert... dry, barren, That deathly breath is like a materialized energy, not only can the owner feel it, but also other people and even the surrounding substances will be infected by this breath.
When the gravel hits the ground, those valuable wooden floors quickly "dry" until countless weird cracks appear.
These cracks are like poisonous snakes that can destroy other material structures. Whenever they touch other things, such as desks, chairs, or ceramic flower pots with orchids...all of them will fall into extremely fast "withering" "status.
No matter what material the opponent is made of, when it touches the gravel, it will be forcibly assimilated by it until it turns into dust and self-melts into a part of the gravel.
This abnormal phenomenon lasted for a very short period of time. From the appearance of those cracks to the beginning of spreading to the final termination, it may only be two or three seconds... Not to mention that outsiders are confused, even Xu Yanan, the person involved, is also at a loss. She couldn't think of any explanation for the abnormal phenomenon, she just thought it was a bit unbelievable.
"Grandpa, is this the power of Jiufu?" Xu Yanan asked cautiously.
"No... no... the power of the Nine Talismans won't be so evil... It's a magic weapon of a decent school with a formal orthodox charm. It's impossible for it to display these weird things. Is it sand..." Xu Baigong squatted on the ground , carefully studying the withered traces on the table legs due to the spread of gravel, "Is this sucking their vitality?"
"They should have been assimilated, right?" Xu Yanan looked at the Nine Talisman in his hand suspiciously, then looked at his arm, and felt that the previous vision should be inseparable from this arm... How do those gravel look like? A bit familiar... as if it came from the desert that I often dreamed about recently...
They are the most natural yellow sand, but they can faintly shimmer with golden luster in the sun. Under that strange color, there is a piercing chill, as if the temperature is much lower than that of ice slag. The chill seems to be some kind of high-level embodiment of the breath of death... Not only Xu Yanan can feel this, but Xu Baigong can also feel it.
If you only observe with the naked eye, you may only be able to detect the faint "dead air", but if you directly touch the gravel that has lost its corrosive power with your hands, you can feel it in an instant... this little The horror of the death energy of a small grain of sand is like a cemetery where millions of corpses are buried!
With just a random touch, you can see countless wandering ghosts walking in front of you.
"Grandpa, the sand overflowing from the Jiufu... Could it be related to the energy in my arm?" Xu Yanan asked tentatively, wanting to analyze it with Xu Baigong, "I heard from Chen Xian and the others that this The arm is a parasite from ancient Egypt, and it seems to be related to the legendary Osiris... "
"Ancient Egypt?" Xu Baigong frowned, feeling that this matter seemed to be much more complicated than he imagined.
After thinking carefully for a while, Xu Baigong's analysis still made no progress, and he couldn't find the clue at all, so he could only try again.
"You come with me."
"it is good!"
Xu Baigong hurriedly brought Xu Yanan to the backyard of the villa. The area of this place is not as small as the house. It is much more comfortable to perform some alchemy here, at least it will not make Xu Yanan feel constrained...
"There are five elements and four images hidden in the nine talismans, each of the five elements has thirty-six techniques, and each of the four images has nine techniques... Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, you can try them one by one to see the nine characters behind the nine talismans. Is the tree thorned?"
Hearing this, Xu Yanan turned over the nine talismans casually, and found the wooden thorns that Xu Baigong mentioned on the back of the wooden sign, just like the barbs that grow out of certain plants, perhaps only protruding two to three millimeters high, As thin as a silver needle.
They seem to form two circles on the back of the Nine Talisman according to a certain sequence, the outer circle is surrounded by five wooden thorns, and the inner circle has only four wooden thorns...
"The wooden thorns in the outer circle correspond to one of the five elements, and the wooden thorns in the inner circle correspond to one of the four elephants. The gravel you made just now should belong to soil... Now you can try the alchemy of the five elements earth array!"
"The alchemy of the Five Elements Earth Formation?" Xu Yanan looked at the old man in a daze, and replied cautiously, "I haven't learned those alchemy, and you haven't taught me..."
The method of using the Xu Family's Nine Talismans is a secret that is not handed down, and it is also one of the "important information" passed down by the heads of the Xu family in the past. It can be said that those who can master the Jiufu alchemy in the past are only the head of the Xu family without exception... But now Xu Yanan is indeed a Big exception.
She is only the future heir of the Xu family in name, but she has not really controlled the Xu family. When Xu Baigong passed the Nine Talismans and the Nine Talisman Alchemy to Xu Yanan, it not only broke the family rules of the Xu family, but also broke the other family rules. An opportunity for a person to be the head of the household.
To put it bluntly, Xu Yanan has made an appointment.
This point is unshakable, and no one can shake Xu Baigong's will.
"Jiufu alchemy does not require too much preparation, nor does it require practice. Those cumbersome procedures are omitted by Jiufu. You only need to read the alchemy you want to use." Xu Baigong patiently taught his granddaughter , pointing to a wooden thorn on the back of the wooden sign, "Press it with any finger, remember to puncture the skin and bleed, and use the blood as a guide to truly drive the Nine Talismans..."
Xu Yanan nodded, then looked at his five slender fingers, picked the most comfortable thumb and pressed it... That posture was very familiar to Xu Baigong, and after thinking about it, this is just playing with a mobile phone Posture
After pricking his finger, the blood overflowing from the wound was instantly absorbed by Jiufu. At the same time, Xu Yanan also noticed that the energy in his body was running rapidly. energy…
As more and more energy poured into the Nine Talismans, this piece of wooden sign gradually lit up, and the whole body exuded a soft light of earthy yellow, which corresponded to the soil of the Five Elements...
"I say one sentence, you read one sentence."
Xu Baigong said, and without waiting for Xu Yanan to react, he rushed out for more than 30 meters, and began to talk to Xu Yanan with a voice almost like a shout.
"The land of the five elements! Listen to my orders!"
Xu Yanan looked at the old man with black lines all over his head, and said to himself, why are you so careful
"The land of the five elements, listen to my orders."
After reading this sentence, Xu Yanan looked at the unresponsive Jiufu, then at the old man tens of meters away, and shrugged helplessly.
"No response... Could it be that I really can't use the Nine Talismans?" Xu Yanan murmured in her heart, although she had already been mentally prepared, she couldn't hide her disappointment on her face.
At this moment, the old man Xu who was hiding in the distance and was extremely vigilant shouted again.
"Wujimen!"
Seeing that there are still incantation words behind, Xu Yanan repeated it imitatively.
"Wujimen."
At this moment, Xu Baigong ran out a dozen steps cautiously, he seemed to sense some kind of danger, his eyes looking at Xu Yanan from a distance were full of undisguised vigilance.
"Quicksand!"
Xu Yanan also didn't understand what Xu Baigong was doing, but couldn't help but gave him a bewildered look, didn't dare to ask more questions at this juncture, and whispered something.
"Quicksand."
Perhaps these last three characters are the key to unlocking the Nine Talismans.
The moment Xu Yanan read "Earth Quicksand", the Jiufu wooden sign trembled crazily, and the earth-yellow halos covering the wooden sign also became brighter and brighter, like the sun blocked by flying sand and rocks in the sky, It became dazzling in an instant.
Before Xu Yanan could get ready, countless fine yellow sand spewed out of the nine talismans out of thin air!
The Jiufu is like the drain of a water pump, the fine sand gushes out so fast that it even seems to be "liquefied"... It seems to be the unstable and liquefied quicksand in the desert. It began to crazily devour the surrounding grass, turning this colorful backyard into a terrifying quicksand zone at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It has to be said that Xu Baigong is indeed the pioneer of empiricism. These quicksands spreading wildly on the ground cannot spread endlessly. Centered on the caster Xu Yanan, they spread outward for about 30 meters and then stopped. , this is their limit, at least the limit that can be achieved at present...
At this moment, Xu Yanan looked at everything in this quicksand-covered area, everything is falling uncontrollably... No matter if the opponent is flowers, trees or landscape boulders, these weird yellow sands are like monsters that can swallow everything, they will Drag it into the sand in an instant and let it disappear completely.
