Chapter 128 The Curse and the Peddler
Wu Xian shook his head.
The queue here had ended and he could enter the temple-tomb, so he stopped watching the awkward drama between the two people and went into the temple-tomb with ease.
Wu Xian has come here many times.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see another big-headed statue turning around.
This is Tianguan-Canopus Antarctica.
His reward for worshipping God is a lethal talisman 'curse'!
On the table in front of the statue, there were two incense burners, one silver and one bronze, which meant that Wu Xian could worship the god twice. There was also a statue of Guangde Dragon King inside the temple tomb.
Wu Xian simply thought for two seconds.
He placed the two incense burners in front of the statue of Sirius Antarctica and inserted the two incense sticks into them.
Wu Xian could use two incense sticks to worship the two statues separately, but that would result in only one statue left to worship when he came out of the room next time.
He didn't want to put himself in a situation where he had no choice, so he used all of this opportunity to worship God on Canopus Antarctica.
Accompanied by a thick white cloud of cotton candy-like smoke, Wu Xian had six talismans in front of him to choose from.
The three precious talismans are the Gangfeng Spell, the Golden Wheel Spell, and the Earth Spike Spell.
The three ordinary talismans are the True Fire Spell, the Insect Devouring Spell, and the True Water Spell.
Among the six talismans, the Gangfeng Mantra, the True Fire Mantra and the True Water Mantra are all very easy to understand. As the names suggest, they literally release Gangfeng, True Fire, and True Water.
Among them, the True Water Spell is a little special, because the water released is not only drinkable, but also has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
But Wu Xian decisively gave up these three overly direct spells.
Therefore, among all the talismans, the only one Wu Xian could choose was the Insect-Biting Curse.
The effect of the Insect Devouring Curse is to release ten Yellow Springs Dysthistoris. These Dysthistoris grow in the Yellow Springs and feed on rotten corpses or sneaky flesh and blood. Once released, they will not stop until they have eaten all the enemy's flesh and blood.
There are three release opportunities in total, which means thirty Yellow Springs Dragon Beetles are available for battle.
But even the dragonflies in Huangquan are just dragonflies. They will die if stepped on. In terms of direct killing ability, they are definitely not as good as the True Fire Curse.
Wu Xian chose the Insect-Bating Curse only because he was stimulated by the parasitic Gu, so he also wanted to get some insects to play with.
In the precious talisman.
In addition to the direct attack Gangfeng Curse, Wu Xian also likes the Golden Wheel Curse and the Earth Spike Curse.
The effect of the Golden Wheel Curse can be effective three times, each time releasing a golden light wheel that lasts for ten seconds. This light wheel has extremely strong cutting ability and can easily break the evil spirit's body.
The effect of the Ground Spike Curse is to stick a spike with a volume of one cubic meter out of the ground. The shape of the spike is determined by the caster, and the material of the spike is determined by the material of the ground.
Wu Xian thought about it again and again.
I still felt that the Earth Spike Curse was more practical, so I made my choice, and two brand new talismans appeared in my hands.
After Wu Xian copied the two talismans, he did not leave in a hurry, but slapped himself hard.
Snapped!
Wu Xian tilted his head.
This is not self-abuse, but a test of the effect of 'natural thick skin'.
The head was hit crooked, which was enough to show that he used a lot of force, but Wu Xian only felt a slight pain on his face. He touched it with his shield and found that there was not even a palm print on his face.
"Ha, this time I really have a thick skin in physics."
Wu Xian smiled and slapped himself a few more times, but it didn't hurt at all. Only when he slapped himself very hard did he feel obvious pain.
It seems that the effect of 'natural thick skin' is still very obvious. It is like Wu Xian is wearing an invisible leather armor, which greatly improves his survivability.
But what Wu Xian wanted to see most was not this.
Chi Chi!
Wu Xian's mind moved, and suddenly his body was covered with sharp spikes.
He used to be a white hedgehog, but now he is a black hedgehog. When he chose "Born with Thick Skin", he wanted to combine it with Wei Jia, because Wei Jia, strictly speaking, is also Wu Xian's alienated skin.
Wu Xian simply tested the strength of these black thorns, then straightened his chest and put on a slightly inflated smile on his face.
Before, although the thorns on his body were sharp, they were too fragile and would fall off when subjected to force. But now they are much more stable, harder, and sharper than before, and their practicality has been greatly improved.
"If I add another layer of hard qigong..."
Wu Xian chuckled.
At the beginning, he looked down on stacking armor, but now he just felt that he didn't stack enough.
Test completed.
Wu Xian didn't waste any more time and walked up the stairs.
As soon as I left the house.
Wu Xian found that the atmosphere was somewhat different from before.
Guan Daorong was standing shirtless, letting Aunt He clean and rebandage his wounds. The atmosphere became very harmonious and no one knew what was happening between them.
Wu Xian shrugged.
With the few remaining people around, the atmosphere has become better, which is always a good thing, and he doesn't want to pay too much attention to the gossip between them.
Also.
The peddler's tomb was also open, which meant that other people who had obtained the key had chosen to enter the closed tomb to improve themselves.
Wait until that person comes out.
Wu Xian called everyone together to exchange information and disclose intelligence.
of course.
It was not information about the guest rooms and banquet halls, but information obtained from the tomb of Doctor Youfang. Doctor Youfang did not warn Wu Xian not to tell anyone, so Wu Xian certainly had no obligation to keep the doctor's information confidential.
Nothing was kept secret about the giant leech, Lady Liu, the master, the Little Huandan, and the issue of taking life in exchange for potential.
This information is not in vain.
Soon Wu Xian obtained the information about the peddler's grave from Wei Dian.
There was a corpse and some baskets of goods in the peddler's grave.
The body belonged to a peddler. No one knew how he died, but his death meant that there was finally a real grave mound among the eight rooms.
Most of the goods the peddler carried decayed and turned to ashes over time, but the two statues of gods he carried with him still emit a faint divine light.
One is the statue of the Heavenly Official - the Five Manifestations God of Wealth, and the other is the statue of the External God - the Tathagata.
The peddler brought these two statues with him, praying for them to bless him with a booming business and make a fortune, but he lost his life before he got rich. The two statues gave his family the opportunity to shop.
The news about the peddler's tomb did not reveal any risks, but it cannot be said to be completely useless. At least everyone knew that they had to hold incense when entering the peddler's tomb to get the profits, so as not to waste a precious opportunity.
The act of exchanging information broke the awkward silence that had been in everyone's mind. Without revealing the information in the room, they took the initiative to chat, and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.
Wei Dian's laughter was no longer cold, the scriptures recited by Sister Qing made everyone feel at ease, and Aunt He, who was a community bull, stirred everyone's emotions...
While Wu Xian was joining in the fun, he was also secretly observing.
The main targets of observation were Xu Fenglan, Teacher Luan Jing, and Boss Yu. He guessed that these three people in mourning clothes had been replaced by evil spirits just like Lao Zhao.
But during the conversation, these three people did not reveal any flaws. There was no contradiction in their words, and there was no inhuman characteristics in their gestures. They were just overly cheerful, as if they had no worries at all...
Accompanied by Wu Xian's doubts.
The sun was setting and they were about to enter the room for the third time.
