Chapter 166: Lian Jia's undercard
When he first got out of bed, he didn't feel anything, but after walking for a while, Jiang Luo felt the physical pain.
It was as if the grass and trees were depleted by lack of water, the hands and feet were weak, and the spirit was exhausted. Jiang Luo tried to use his psychic skill once more, but found that his body tingled with pain, and he could not write any words.
He then remembered that in the dream, he had used up the air in his body.
Jiang Luo thought for a moment, he was in a spiritual body, but not a physical body, so the air was something in his soul?
But this is to be expected, after all Jiang Luo is a genius, but the original master is not, the only difference between him and the original master is the difference in soul.
He went slowly and leisurely to Ji Yaozi, and together with Ji Yaozi he went to Taoist Master Wei He to say goodbye.
On the way, Ji Yaozi was still wondering, "Didn't we agree to wait until you learned psychic arts before going down the mountain?"
Jiang Luo held back his discomfort, and said without a trace of color, "I've already learned, and the court will soon be in session down the mountain, so in order to prevent accidents, I'd better go down the mountain first."
Ji Yaozi was stunned, "You learned that in one night?"
Watching Jiang Luo nod, Ji Yaozi asked curiously, "What is it that you're channeling? Show me!"
Jiang Luo glanced at the dead tree next to him, "The thing I'm psychic about is wood."
"You probably don't know, I like flowers and plants very much," Jiang Luo added slowly, "I tried many things last night, but none of them felt right. In the end, I decided to use plants to channel my feelings. I'm not going to show you, I'm not very skillful yet, so I'll show you when I'm skillful next time."
Ji Yaozi frowns, a little disappointed, "Wood."
After Jiang Luo had used his psionic technique in his dream, he immediately realized how amazing the power of the psionic Chinese characters was. He only used the word "water" to flood an entire city, the Chinese characters were so varied that Jiang Luo's body's amazingly abundant air was a match made in heaven with the Chinese characters, and he woke up with the decision to conceal this psionic technique as his bottom card.
It's not that Jiang Luo doesn't believe in Ji Yaozi, it's just that the less people know about his cards, the more he can take his enemies by surprise. What's more, Ji Yaozi is right next to the Fatalist, who is very powerful and has the ability to brainwash people. What if he tells Ji Yaozi that he has chosen the ability to channel tens of thousands of Chinese characters, and then the Fatalist steals that information?
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, that's the smartest thing to do.
Jiang Luo glanced at Ji Yaozi and deliberately said, "What, the plant doesn't work?"
Ji Yaozi shook his head, "Everything has a spirit, and spirits don't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, plants can certainly be, and you practicing this one to the extreme is also a very powerful means."
In the middle of the conversation, they had already arrived at the door of Taoist Master Wei He's meditation room. When Taoist Master Wei He realized that Jiang Luo was going to resign and leave, he did not stop him, but only teased him, "Look at you, your master left yesterday, and you are going to leave today as well. Okay, okay, I will not stop you, you young people ah, can be patient in my place for a month is already very remarkable. After you pack up your things, I'll send a little boy to lead you down the mountain."
Jiang Luo and Master Wei He thanked him and left the quiet room of his own accord after seeing the fatigue on Master Wei He's face.
After Ji Yaozi spoke to Jiang Luo and urged him to practice diligently, Jiang Luo went to his room and began to pack his things.
He didn't really have anything to pack. Bringing his cell phone, wallet plus a ginseng essence was all that was needed. Jiang Luo stuffed all three items into his bag and put on his backpack, unable to help but think that the process of him resigning and leaving had gone much smoother than expected.
He was expecting some obstruction, but he didn't realize how easy it was for Taoist Master Wei He to let him go down the mountain.
Soon after, Jiang Luo found the boy and went down the mountain.
Today is a good weather, bright sunshine, sunlight through the window hit the ground. In a quiet room, the floating dust was startled up, the man with white hair hanging down his waist stood in front of the window, quietly watching Jiang Luo's figure disappearing out of the door.
In the middle of the day, the predestined man said, "He said he psychicized wood?"
Ji Yaozi didn't dare to lie about the Fates, he sighed, "That's what he said."
Taoist Master Wei He stood by Ji Yaozi's side, watching with his eyes and nose, as if he knew nothing.
"Wood has a spirit that is warm and kind," the Fated One couldn't help but smile, "It is indeed possible for him to choose the wood, but the spirit of the wood will not necessarily choose him."
"You mean ......" Ji Yaozi said hesitantly, "he lied?"
The Fated Man shook his head, "Not necessarily. A branch in a child's hand can be the material for weaving a flower basket, in some people's hands it can be a sword that kills; wood is gentle but tough, and if he truly loves it, the spirit of the wood may respond to him."
The Fates closed their eyes, their bloodless fingers tapping lightly on the windowsill, and said, "Send someone to test him."
Wei He The Taoist priest jerked his head up, his face white with fear, and looked at the predestined man.
*
The boy sent Jiang Luo out of the formation, this time the snow on the mountain melted quite a bit, Jiang Luo walked leisurely, just halfway down the mountainside, he heard someone behind him shouting his name: "Senior Jiang Luo! Wait for me!"
Jiang Luo turned around and saw Lian Xue happily chasing after him from behind with a 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 gasped for air before saying, "Senior Uncle just informed me that I should come down the mountain to check on my senior brothers and sisters in the ancestral mansion."
"Why so sudden?" Jiang Luo.
"I also felt it was sudden," Lian Xue ran with a slightly reddened face, "but Senior Uncle said that you left today as well, so it was just right for me to be your companion so that I wouldn't have to meet up with anything else in the mountains, I had just packed up my things and went to look for you, but it turned out that Little Tong had told me that you had already left. Luckily your speed wasn't too fast, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up with you."
Jiang Luo thought to himself, "If it wasn't for the fact that I'm not feeling well, you wouldn't have been able to catch up with me.
The two of them walked down the mountain together. Jiang Luo's speed was very slow, Lian Xue thought that he was deliberately taking care of himself, and was touched in her heart, "Elder brother, you don't have to accommodate me so much, I can walk faster."
Jiang Luo smiled gentlemanly, "It's okay, there's plenty of time, we can take our time."
After another half hour of walking, they passed the cottage cabin where they had once been trapped.
Lian Xue glanced at the villa hut with scorn, "Elder brother, let's walk faster, I'm a little creeped out at the sight of this villa, and I don't know if Chi You's ghost is still inside ......"
As soon as she mentioned the name, Jiang Luo remembered that passionate kiss you had in the dream. He pursed his lips, suddenly a little thirsty, picked up the thermos next to his backpack and took a sip of hot water, saying vaguely, "Who knows."
But every word Chi You had ever said in the cabin flashed through Jiang Luo's mind.
It was only then that Jiang Luo remembered that Chi You had mentioned the story of the Snow Maiden.
Every word Chi You said had a deeper meaning, and the Snow Maiden was definitely more than just a story. Jiang Luo recalls Chi You's expression and demeanor at that time, and always feels that it has a deep meaning.
"Lian Xue," Jiang Luo said casually, "you mentioned a snowy mountain goddess in the room at the time, do you know much about her? Is it possible for her to possess a human, or-"
The words came to an abrupt end, and a shuddering chill rose up Jiang Luo's spine, and a sense of crisis washed over him in an instant. Almost instinctively, he dodged and rolled to the ground, avoiding the sharp ice picks coming from behind.
Jiang Luo looked up incredulously at Lian Xue, who was standing three meters away from him.
Lian Xue's lips were pale and her face was covered with a layer of snow frost. Her eyes were empty, as if they had been taken by something that had taken her soul. The frost traveled down from her hair strands and covered her entire body in an instant.
The snowstorm swept around Lian Xue and surrounded her. Lian Xue's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water as she looked towards Jiang Luo and raised her hand towards him.
Blizzard whistling toward Jiang Luo attack, Jiang Luo lousy over, ushered in another move sudden face. He raised his hand to block the snow and wind, looked at Lian Xue who looked like a different person, and couldn't bear to curse: "Grass!"
What the fuck is going on here!
Damn it, this mutation also happened at a time when his body was powerless and his air had run out!
Jiang Luo tried to summon the Yin Hu in the Yin Yang Ring, but just as his soul became weak, so did the Yin Yang Ring, Jiang Luo could not even summon the Si Snake, not to mention the Yin Hu now.
Shit.
Jiang Luo narrowly dodges Lian Xue's attack once again, and he gasps for breath as he braces himself on the snow, defending himself against Lian Xue, who is coming towards him step by step.
"Lian Xue, Lian Xue," in an instant, all the previous unnoticeable hints quickly spliced together, all kinds of clues point to the final answer, Jiang Luo fingers clenched tightly, eyes heavy, "so you are the snow woman."
No, the way Lian Xue is losing her mind and being controlled, it's very likely that she's just a vessel possessed by Yuki-nui, or that there's a god of "snow" sealed inside of her.
No wonder, no wonder in the conversation he overheard between Taoist Master Wei He and Lian Xue, Taoist Master Wei He would say "If it really comes to a life and death crisis, there will be people among you who can protect you", doesn't he mean that there are a few people in the Lian family like Lian Xue, when it comes to life and death, they will become out of control and their strength will increase? He is not saying that there are a few people in the Lian family like Lian Xue, when it comes to life and death, they will become out of control and their strength will increase greatly?
It's almost like a divine descent.
One by one, the previous details come to mind, Chi You's hints with the Snow Maiden story, the sudden weird snowstorm, Lian Xue in the King's Game who suggests that all of us go to the mirror together, Lian Xue who tends to get weak and often feverish on snowy days ......
And the mirror world was burned by a fire in his black-robed ghost, no wonder the black-robed ghost is afraid of fire, that is clearly Lian Xue pretending to be a ghost, how the snow woman will not be afraid of fire, a fire can not be burned melted into water.
No wonder everything in the world in the mirror seemed so orderly, just like a rehearsed play, it turned out that no matter whether it was the black-robed ghost or the four people in Duanzi who had been killed by the black-robed ghost, they were all actors arranged by the black-handed predestined person behind the scenes!
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-preserving card, so why did she just suddenly turn on him?
Jiang Luo's brain was spinning rapidly, he suddenly gritted his teeth and figured out something.
Lian Xue is the person of Taoist Master Wei He, who is the person of the Fated Man. Wei He loves Lian Xue and will not let Lian Xue be easily exposed. But the Fated One will not favor Lian Xue. Lian Xue is a person sent by the Fated One.
Is the Fates trying to make a move on him?
No, since the Fated One wanted Jiang Luo to kill Chi You, he wouldn't let anything happen to Jiang Luo.
Then there is only one reason, the Fated One knows that Jiang Luo has learned psychic magic, and he is testing Jiang Luo's strength to see if it is real or not.
Jiang Luo's forehead throbbed.
Since Lian Xue was sent to deal with him with such a big chip on his shoulder, the Fates must be hiding in some corner watching this scene. He told Ji Yaozi that he had channeled wood, and the Fates should have known that he had channeled wood. If there was air in his body, Jiang Luo would definitely control the plant and show it to them, but that was the difficulty, Jiang Luo had no way to use his psychic powers right now.
He was not feeling well, he had no power, and the talisman did not work on Lian Xue. Jiang Luo could only keep observing Lian Xue's weaknesses and shaking the Yin Yang Ring vigorously to try to summon the strongest Zodiac sign he could at this moment.
Ten seconds later, Monkey appeared in front of Jiang Luo, disgruntled and holding his arms.
Jiang Luo's expression twisted slightly.
The words, Heaven is going to kill me, flashed through his mind.
