Chapter 166 - The Lien family's cards
He didn't feel anything when he first got out of bed, but after walking for a while, Jiang Luo felt a physical pain.
It was as if the grass was depleted for lack of water, and his hands and feet were weak and mentally exhausted. Jiang Luo tried to use his psychic powers once more, but found that his body tingled so much that he could not write.
It was then that he remembered that in his dream he had used up the air in his body.
Jiang Luo pondered, "He was in a dream in his spiritual body, but not in his physical body, so the air was something in his soul?
But that's to be expected - after all, Jiang Luo is a genius, but the original owner is not, and the only difference between him and the original owner is a difference in soul.
He took his time and went to Ji Yaozi, and together with Ji Yaozi he went to see Daoist Master Wei He to say goodbye.
On the way, Ji Yaozi was still wondering, "Didn't we say we'd wait until you learned psionics before we went down?"
Jiang Luo endured his discomfort and said with a pale face, "I have learned my lesson, and the court will soon be held at the bottom of the hill, so to prevent accidents, I'd better go down first."
Ji Yaozi was stunned, "You learned that after one night?"
Looking at Jiang Luo and nodding, Ji Yaozi asked curiously, "What is this thing that you are psychic about? Show me!"
Jiang Luo glanced at the dead tree next to him, "The thing I'm psychic about is wood."
"You may not know, but I love flowers and plants," Jiang Luo added slowly, "and last night I tried many things, but they didn't feel right. In the end, I decided that using plants to channel is more to my liking, so I won't show you the display yet, I'm not very skilled at it yet, so I'll show you my hand when I'm good at it next time."
Ji Yaozi frowned, a little disappointed, "Muah."
After Jiang Luo had used psychic techniques in his dreams, he immediately realised how powerful psychic Chinese characters could be. He was able to flood an entire city with just the word "water". The Chinese characters were so varied, and Jiang Luo's amazing amount of air in his body was a perfect match for the Chinese spirits, and he woke up with the decision that this psychic technique would be concealed and would become his backbone.
It's not that Jiang Luo doesn't trust Ji Yaozi, it's just that the less people know about the secret card, the more he can take his enemies by surprise. What's more, Ji Yaozi is right next to the Fatekeeper, who has a fabulous technique and the ability to brainwash. What if he tells Ji Yaozi that he has chosen the ability to psychic tens of thousands of Chinese characters, and the Fatekeeper gets the information?
It's the smartest thing to do when you're pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Jiang Luo looked at Ji Yaozi for a moment and deliberately said, "What, the plants don't work?"
Ji Yaozi shook his head, "There are spirits in all things, and spirits do not distinguish between superior and inferior, plants can certainly, you practice this one to the extreme, it is also a very powerful means."
As they talked, they reached the door of Taoist Master Wei He's retreat room. When he found out that Jiang Luo was leaving, he did not stop him, but only teased him, "Look at you, your master left yesterday, and you are leaving today. I won't stop you, you young people, it's already a big deal if you can stay with me patiently for a month. Once you have packed your things, I will send Disciples to lead you down the mountain."
Jiang Luo and Daoist Master Wei He thanked him and left the retreat room on their own initiative after seeing the tiredness on Daoist Master Wei He's face.
After Ji Yaozi and Jiang Luo had a few words of advice to practice hard, Jiang Luo went to his room and started to pack his things.
He didn't really have anything to pack. A mobile phone, wallet and a ginseng extract and all would be well. Jiang Luo stuffed all three items into his bag and put his backpack on, thinking that the process of his leaving had gone much more smoothly than he had expected.
He was expecting some obstacles, but he knew it would be so easy and Taoist Master Wei He let him go down the mountain.
Soon Jiang Luo found Disciples down the hill.
It is a beautiful day, the sun is shining brightly and the sun is beating down on the ground through the window. In a quiet room, the dust is stirred up and a man with white hair hanging from his waist stands in front of the window, watching silently as Jiang Luo's figure disappears beyond the door.
Halfway through the day, the predestined man said, "He said he was psychic to wood?"
Ji Yaozi, not daring to lie about the predestined man, sighed, "That's what he said."
Daoist Master Wei He stood beside Ji Yaozi, watching his eyes and nose and pretending not to know anything.
"Wood has a spirit and a warm and good nature," the predestined man could not help but smile, "He may indeed choose wood, but the spirit of wood will not necessarily choose him."
"Do you mean ......" Ji Yaozi said hesitantly, "that he lied?"
The predestined man shook his head, "Not necessarily. A branch in the hands of a child can be the material for weaving a basket of flowers, and in the hands of some it can become a sword that kills. wood is gentle, but it is also tough, and if he truly loves it, the spirit of wood may give him a response."
The Fatalist closed his eyes, his bloodless fingers tapping lightly on the window sill, and said, "Send someone to try him out."
Wei He Daoist looked up sharply, his face pale with fear, and looked at the host in fear.
*
Disciples sent Jiang Luo out of the formation and by now the snow on the mountain had melted quite a bit, Jiang Luo was walking leisurely and had just gotten halfway down the mountain when he heard someone call out his name behind him, " Brother Jiang Luo! Wait for me!"
Jiang Luo turned his head to see Lian Xue gleefully coming up behind him with her bag on her back.
He raised an eyebrow and waited until Lian Xue came up to him, asking curiously, "You're coming down the mountain too?"
Lian Xue nodded and, after catching his breath, said, "Senior Uncle has just informed me that I should go down to see my brothers and sisters in the ancestral home."
"Why so sudden?" Jiang Luo .
"I thought it was sudden too," Lian Xue ran, blushing slightly, "but Uncle Shifu said you were leaving today too, so I'd be good company in case I met something else on the mountain, and I'd just packed up and gone to look for you when Disciples told me you'd already left. It's a good thing you weren't too fast, or I wouldn't have been able to catch up with you."
Jiang Luo said, "If I hadn't been unwell, you wouldn't have been able to catch up with me.
The two of them walked down the hill together. Jiang Luo's speed was so slow that Lian Xue thought he was deliberately taking care of himself.
Jiang Luo smiled gently, "It's okay, there's plenty of time, we can take our time."
After another half hour's walk they passed the cottage hut where they had once been trapped.
Lian Xue took one look at the cottage hut and was scandalized, "Brother, let's go faster, I'm a bit creeped out by the sight of this cottage and I don't know if Chi You's ghost is still inside ......"
As soon as she mentioned the name, Jiang Luo remembered the passionate kiss you had exchanged in the dream. He pursed his lips, suddenly thirsty, and took a sip of hot water from the thermos beside his backpack, saying vaguely, "Who knows."
But every word Chi You ever said in the chalet flashed through Jiang Luo's mind.
Jiang Luo also just remembered that Chi You had mentioned a story about a snow maiden.
Every word Chi You said had a deeper meaning, and Snow Maiden was definitely more than just a story. Jiang Luo recalls the look on Chi You's face and demeanour at the time, and he always finds it meaningful.
" Lian Xue ," Jiang Luo said casually, "you mentioned a snowy mountain goddess in the house at the time, do you know her well? Is it possible that she possessed humans, or-"
The words stopped abruptly and a shiver ran down Jiang Luo's spine as a sense of crisis washed over his scalp in an instant. Almost instinctively, he dodged and rolled to the ground, dodging the sharp ice picks coming from behind.
Jiang Luo looked up incredulously at Lian Xue, who stood three metres away from him.
Lian Xue's lips are pale and her face is covered in a layer of snow and frost. Her eyes were vacant, as if something had taken her soul. The frost descended from the strands of her hair and covered her whole body in an instant.
The snowstorm swept around Lian Xue, whose eyes were like a pool of dead water as she looked towards Jiang Luo and raised her hand towards him.
The blizzard whipped towards Jiang Luo, who tumbled over it and was greeted with a surprise face. He looked at Lian Xue, who looked like a different person, as he struggled to block the snow and wind with his hands up and cursed, "Fuck!"
What the fuck is going on here!
Damn it, this mutation happened at a time when his body was powerless and his air had run out!
Jiang Luo tried to summon Yin Hu from the Yin-Yang Ring, but as if his soul had become weak, the Yin-Yang Ring would also become weak.
Shit.
Once again Jiang Luo narrowly avoided Lian Xue's attack, and he braced himself on the snow, panting, defending himself against Lian Xue, who was coming towards him step by step.
"Lian Xue, Lian Xue," in a flash, all the unnoticeable hints from the past were quickly pieced together, all the clues pointed to the final answer, Jiang Luo's fingers clenched, his eyes heavy, "So you are the Snow Maiden."
No, the way Lian Xue has lost her mind and is being controlled, it is likely that she is just a vessel for the Snow Maiden to possess, or that there is a god of snow sealed inside her.
No wonder, no wonder in the conversation he overheard between Daoist Master Wei He and Lian Xue, Daoist Master Wei He said, "If it comes to a life-and-death crisis, there will be someone among you who can protect you", didn't he mean that there were a few members of the Lian family who, like Lian Xue, would become uncontrollably powerful in a life-and-death situation? Does he mean that some members of the Lian family are like Lian Xue, who will become uncontrollable and powerful when it comes to life and death?
It's almost like a divine descent.
A detail from earlier comes to mind, Chi You's use of hints of the Snow Maiden story, the sudden and bizarre snowstorm, Lian Xue who suggested in the King's game that everyone go to the mirror together, Lian Xue who tends to get weak and often feverish on snowy days ......
The black-robed ghost in the mirror world was burned away by his fire. No wonder the black-robed ghost was afraid of fire, it was clearly Lian Xue's ghost in disguise, how could the Snow Maiden not be afraid of fire?
No wonder everything in the mirror world seems so orderly, like a well-rehearsed play. It turns out that both the black-robed ghost and the four Duan Zi people killed by the black-robed ghost are all actors arranged by the mastermind behind it, the Predestined One!
But Lian Xue doesn't even seem to know she's the Snow Maiden herself. She's supposed to be the Lian family's life-saving card, so why did she suddenly turn on him?
Jiang Luo's mind whirled rapidly as he suddenly gritted his teeth and figured something out.
Lian Xue is the person of Daoist Master Wei He, and Daoist Master Wei He is the person of the Fates. Taoist Master Wei He loves Lian Xue and will not let Lian Xue be easily exposed. But the Fates do not favour Lian Xue, who is sent by the Fates.
Did the fatalist want to make a move on him?
No, since the Fates wanted Jiang Luo to kill Chi You, he would not have let Jiang Luo have an accident.
There is only one reason for this: the Fates knew that Jiang Luo had learned psionics, and he was testing Jiang Luo's strength to see if it was true.
Jiang Luo's forehead throbs with pain.
Since Lian Xue had sent him such a great deal of leverage, the Fates must have been watching this scene from some corner. He told Ji Yaozi that he had channeled wood, and the Fates must have known that it was wood that he had channeled. If there was air in his body, Jiang Luo would have controlled the plant to show them, but that was the difficulty, Jiang Luo had no way to use his psychic powers now.
He was unwell and powerless, and Fu Lu had no effect on Lian Xue. Jiang Luo could only keep observing Lian Xue's weaknesses and shaking the Yin Yang Ring to try to summon the strongest zodiac sign he could at that moment.
Ten seconds later, Monkey appears in front of Jiang Luo with his arms clasped in displeasure.
Jiang Luo's expression is slightly distorted.
The words, "Heaven will kill me," flashed through his mind.
