Chapter 161 Red Wish
It took Bai Fuling three days to learn how to draw talismans in the air. She practiced so much that her wrist was about to break.
Fortunately, she has a basic foundation in painting, otherwise it would be more difficult to paint.
There is no other way. If the hand speed is not fast enough and the talisman is not drawn well, the strokes drawn by the spiritual power will dissipate.
Therefore, drawing talismans must not only be done quickly, but also in one stroke.
She felt that her speed was already good enough, but Qinghe still disliked it. Just one word, "too slow", brought her excited heart to the bottom.
But her water spiritual power was of no help in drawing talismans, so Qinghe played tricks on her again.
"If you practiced dual cultivation with Liu Yuanbai and got a wood spiritual root from him, why would it be so difficult for you to draw a talisman?"
"Since wood spiritual roots have so many benefits, can I grow wood spiritual roots first and then earth spiritual roots?" Bai Fuling said unconvinced.
However, she regretted it after she said it.
Especially seeing the chill in Qinghe's eyes, Bai Fuling couldn't help but shiver, and immediately admitted his mistake, "I was just kidding, grow the earth spirit roots first, I'll go wake up Xiaodouzi now."
After saying that, Bai Fuling ran away.
Nonsense, if you are a step slower you will be pressed down and eat dirt, only a fool would not run.
By the way, why did Qinghe insist on letting her grow earth spiritual roots next? Although earth spiritual roots and water spiritual roots complement each other, wood spiritual roots and water spiritual roots are also quite compatible!
Alas, she doesn’t understand the boss’s thoughts!
Perhaps the growing earth spiritual roots would be more helpful to her cultivation. After all, Qinghe was a very organized person.
Bai Fuling drew a talisman in the air and used her spiritual power to activate it, and the talisman fell on Xiaodouzi's chest.
The talisman turned into a faint golden light and completely sank into Xiaodouzi's body. After Xiaodouzi twitched for a while, his body returned to normal, but he still did not wake up.
Bai Fuling knew that he needed to summon his soul, so she immediately drew a summoning talisman and mobilized her spiritual power to summon his soul.
When I was a kid, I lived at my grandmother's house and sometimes people in the village would call their souls. My mother always said that was all feudal dregs and that we should believe in science.
Because of what my mother said, I don’t believe in such things as calling away souls.
Unexpectedly, one day, she actually helped to call back someone's soul.
The talisman light sank into the body, and Bai Fuling immediately put two fingers together, chanted a spell, and tried to summon the soul.
"Little bean, little bean."
Bai Fuling was a little nervous. She didn't even know Xiaodouzi's real name. Would it be any use just calling him that?
After calling twice, a transparent soul suddenly sat up from Xiaodouzi's body. He looked at his hands blankly, a little at a loss, as if he didn't know what was going on.
Bai Fuling was delighted and immediately performed the Soul Returning Technique. Her transparent soul suddenly lay down as if it was controlled and merged with Xiaodouzi's body. After a moment, Xiaodouzi opened his eyes.
Bai Fuling wiped the sweat from her forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She sat down and began to chatter.
"Boy, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a wronged spirit in your body? You suddenly fainted and scared me to death." Bai Fuling patted his chest.
"I'm sorry!" Xiaodouzi lowered his head in shame.
It’s over, this kid is sensitive and inferior, and he’s thinking too much again!
Bai Fuling had a headache and was embarrassed, so she waved her hands quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. I don't dislike you. I just hope you can tell me if you have anything to say in the future, so that I can be prepared."
As she was talking, her stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and Bai Fuling then remembered that she hadn't eaten for several days.
She wanted to say, "You see, I've been hungry for several days because of your work." But when the words came to her lips, she met Xiaodouzi's guilty and self-blaming eyes. She was afraid of increasing his guilt, so she changed her words and said, "I'm starving, let's get something to eat."
Bai Fuling picked up some firewood like a pro, built a bonfire, and used a fire starter to light the fire.
Then they took some meat from the sac of the golden bamboo fish, cut it into small pieces, sprinkled some seasoning on it, and skewered it on wooden sticks and grilled it over a fire.
She had long since overcome the problem of the golden bamboo fish's saliva and no longer had trouble eating it.
I don’t know whether he believed what Liu Yuanbai and the others said and used the sac of the golden bamboo fish as a refrigerator, or he was really so hungry that he didn’t care about anything else.
Anyway, she has done things like making fire and cooking a lot in the secret realm over the past two years.
There was no way, everyone else was busy practicing, but she was free.
After a while, the barbecue was sizzling with oil and emitting a strong aroma.
Xiaodouzi stared at the barbecue and swallowed involuntarily.
Bai Fuling shared the roasted meat with Xiao Douzi. They each took one skewer and I took two. Soon they finished all the roasted meat.
After the two of them had eaten, they set off on their journey without much rest.
Because Qinghe said that the wronged soul in Xiaodouzi must be dealt with within two months, otherwise they will have to exorcise the evil spirit and call back the ghost.
Bai Fuling could barely do the task of exorcising evil spirits and summoning souls, but Qinghe said that long-term evil spirits entering the body would affect cultivation, and the soul would be forced to leave the body or fall asleep, which would cause instability in the mind and lead to a lack of mental strength.
But Xiaodouzi happens to have the dual spiritual roots of time and space, and his requirements for mental strength are particularly high.
In order to help her resolve the matter of the wronged soul as quickly as possible, Qinghe would give her timely advice and some clues or directions.
Qing He said that the wronged souls have a lot of willpower. Willpower is the power of faith, which means that many people worship her and even regard her as a goddess who saves people from suffering.
But the wish power on her body was red. Qinghe said that it was the wish power caused by sacrifice, so it was red. Normal wish power is golden.
What kind of existence is this that makes its own believers sacrifice their lives!
Moreover, each silk thread represents a wish, which is equivalent to a human life.
When Bai Fuling thought of the dense red threads on the wronged soul's body, her scalp went numb and her hair stood on end. She felt as if she was in a snake's den, which was chilling.
Is this really a wronged soul? What kind of wronged soul would let others sacrifice themselves?
"Sister Fuling, I feel heavier." Xiaodouzi was a little nervous.
He originally didn't want to trouble Bai Fuling, but Bai Fuling clearly asked him to tell him in time if there were any changes or reactions in his body.
"Why did your body suddenly become heavier? Could it be that the wronged soul in your body became heavier?" Bai Fuling touched her chin suspiciously, "Let her out of your superimposed space and let me see."
Xiaodouzi nodded and released the wronged soul.
"Oh my god!" Bai Fuling was so scared after seeing the wronged ghost that she fell to the ground.
In just two days, the number of red threads on the wronged souls more than doubled, which means that many people have offered sacrifices to her in the past two days.
Oh my god! I wouldn't be sacrificed by her all of a sudden! When Bai Fuling thought of this possibility, she broke into a cold sweat.
This is not a hot potato! This is a fucking killer!
"Sister Fuling." Xiaodouzi bent down and tried to help Bai Fuling, but Bai Fuling took two steps back in fear, "Don't come over here."
Bai Fuling was really scared and her face turned pale. Xiao Douzi blamed himself and felt guilty. Although he was very worried about Bai Fuling, he didn't dare to go forward.
"My wish power has suddenly increased, which makes it convenient to inquire." Qinghe reminded.
Bai Fuling said "oh" but didn't respond for a long time. Qinghe couldn't stand her timid look and scolded her coldly, "What are you afraid of? I'm here, how can I let you die? Besides, don't you have a brain? Since she can enter the Wrathful Soul Ridge, it means she is a wronged soul. Those wishes may have other hidden secrets?"
After hearing what Qing He said, Bai Fuling felt relieved knowing that the wronged spirits could not harm her. So she asked Qing He again, "The wronged spirits have become heavier. Will it have an impact on Xiao Douzi? Do we need to do anything?"
Qinghe glanced at her, and then taught her a set of hand gestures and spells. After Bai Fuling practiced it several times, she was able to compress the power of the wronged spirit within a certain range.
"How do you feel now?" Bai Fuling asked Xiaodouzi.
"I'm much better, Sister Fuling." Xiaodouzi answered truthfully, but he lowered his head and felt a little depressed.
Bai Fuling realized that her behavior just now hurt the child's heart, and felt a little guilty. She explained, "I was mainly scared by the wronged spirit in you just now, not because of you."
"I know." Xiaodouzi nodded. Of course he knew it was because of the wronged ghosts.
But he didn't understand. Sister Fuling wasn't scared in the past two days, so why was she suddenly scared today? And the wronged soul in his body suddenly became heavier today. Was this the reason?
But the wronged soul seemed to have not changed at all compared to the previous two days!
Xiaodouzi thought seriously that the only change might be that there were more red threads on his body.
"Sister Fuling, what is the red thread on the wronged soul?" Xiao Douzi hooked Bai Fuling's hand with a pleading look in his eyes, looking pitiful.
Bai Fuling didn't dare to tell him for fear of scaring him. Seeing that he wanted to know so much, she hesitated. But Qinghe suddenly said, "Why should a cultivator be afraid of these things?"
Bai Fuling thought about it and decided to give a warning first, "Don't be afraid, I told you."
"I'm not afraid!" Xiao Douzi clenched his fists and looked at Bai Fuling with an extremely firm look.
Bai Fuling saw that he was determined and said, "That was the power of a wish offered to her by others."
Xiaodouzi paused and his face turned pale.
See, the child is really scared.
Bai Fuling felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have listened to Qinghe.
"So, suddenly a lot of people sacrificed themselves for her again today, right?" Although Xiaodouzi's face was still ugly, he understood the reason why Bai Fuling was suddenly afraid.
Bai Fuling nodded.
"Then let's go to the town and ask around, maybe we can find out the origin of the wronged soul." Xiaodouzi analyzed.
