Chapter 9 Magic Array
On the afternoon of the third day.
The maid Xiaowu came to the west wing and told Liu Le'er and the others that Bai Shi Zhenren was ready to treat Liu Shi.
Under Xiao Wu's guidance, Liu Le'er led Liu Shi through the corridors, passed through four courtyards, and came out of a circular arch, and finally arrived at the backyard of Yu Mansion.
The courtyard corridor that was originally broken and broken has already amazed Liu Le'er, but when she saw the small lake covered with green lotus leaves in the backyard, she finally had a real understanding of the vastness of Yu Mansion.
It is said to be a small lake, but it is just a big river that Liu Le'er has seen before. In fact, this lake is at least three or four hundred feet in radius. Compared with the ponds in the house of Jia, the ordinary wealthy Jia, there is a difference between them.
"Miss Le'er, there is the place where Bai Shi Zhenren refines alchemy and practices." Xiao Wu raised her hand and pointed to a small island in the middle of the lake and said.
Liu Le'er followed Xiao Wu's finger and saw a nine-curve stone bridge built with white marble, passing through the lotus leaves of the fields and connecting to the island.
The island is not large in size, but it is densely covered by trees and clouds, making it difficult to see clearly.
When I thought of coming to the island, my "Stone Brother" had hope of being cured. My little face couldn't hide my excitement and my mind was up and down.
"The place where the real people practice is not something that we servants can go. Miss Le'er, let's go there by yourself next." Xiao Wu saw that Liu Le'er was a little lost and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Xiao Wu." Liu Le'er came to her senses and thanked her quickly.
Liu Le'er's sweet voice "sister" made Xiao Wu very enjoyable. She waved her hand happily, turned around and left in a few steps.
The girl looked at the foggy island in the center of the lake, holding the stone bridge railing with one hand, and was not in a hurry to get on the bridge. For some reason, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind:
"If Brother Shitou's illness is cured, will he leave Le'er?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, but when she looked at the extremely familiar face of the tall young man, she suddenly felt relieved again.
"Brother Shitou, let's go."
The girl took the lead and stepped onto the stone bridge and led Liu Shi toward the island.
Walking through the Biye Stone Bridge, the closer you get, Liu Le'er can't help feeling nervous. Liu Shi looked calm, and was attracted by the koi that pops under the lotus leaves from time to time, looking around.
When he arrived at the island, Liu Le'er felt that the smoke on the island was not as thick as watching from afar, and there were not many birds singing around him, which seemed particularly elegant and quiet.
At the end of the stone bridge, a path paved with bluestone slabs winding all the way to the depths of the island.
Liu Le'er and the others walked along the path, without any fork, and came straight to a quaint Taoist temple with white walls and black tiles.
Shiraishi was standing in front of the Taoist temple door waiting. Seeing that the two of them said "Come in" with an expressionless face, they turned around and walked towards the back hall of the Taoist temple.
The two followed the old Taoist through the Sanzhong Hall and arrived at the backyard of the Taoist temple, which contained a huge rockery.
Shirashi Shi walked to a certain mountain wall, raised his hand and pressed it, and a thick stone door slowly opened, revealing a hole that was one person high.
After the two followed the old Taoist into the cave, the thick stone door behind them slowly closed.
The cave was dug by hand, and the space inside was not very large, only slightly larger than the space in the west wing where they lived. There were a few lights on each of the four walls, and I didn’t know what kind of lamp oil was burning, and there was no smoke at all.
An octagonal pattern is engraved in the center of the ground, which looks like a gossip, but it is obviously different.
The marks in the pattern were extremely deep. Not only were there some strange bird and beast patterns inside, but there were also some strange lines with strange shapes. She vaguely felt that she had seen it before, and it seemed to be some kind of ancient seal characters.
On each corner of the octagon, there is a small dark red triangle flag, and some strange patterns are also drawn with gold lines.
"Why are you still standing there? Let him sit in the center of the magic circle." Shiraishi glanced at Liu Le'er who was looking at the magic circle and said coldly.
"yes"
Liu Le'er quickly withdrew her gaze and led the tall young man to sit in the circle pattern in the center of the magic circle.
"Brother Shitou, you will definitely get better. Le'er is here to accompany you." Liu Le'er stared at Liu Shi's eyes and said seriously, then reluctantly came out of the magic circle, stood beside the stone wall, and looked at the old Taoist nervously.
"Now you stay where you are, don't disturb the old Taoist casting spells, and don't walk for a while. Do you understand?" Shiraishi Zhenru solemnly ordered.
Liu Le'er quickly focused her attention.
Shiraishi came forward, first with one hand up, bowed, then walked around the magic circle, silently chanting obscure mantras.
As his chanting sounded, golden lines lit up at the eight-sided triangular flags around the magic circle at the same time, spreading from all around and covering the willow stone.
Liu Shi was originally looking around, and at the moment when the golden light covered his body, his body suddenly shook, and sat straight as if he was electrocuted.
Seeing this, Liu Le'er's heart stumbled, with some worries and some expectations.
I saw golden light flowing around Liu Shi, and it began to condense into strange golden patterns. At the same time, there seemed to be a little golden light gathering in his eyes, which looked even weird.
I heard the chanting sound of Shirashi's mouth suddenly stop, and the gesture of pinching the magic formula suddenly changed, and I shouted loudly:
"town"
The golden light that had just swam around Liu Shi suddenly condensed, wrapping him up like a layer of gold paper.
Liu Shi's face could still be seen through the golden light, and his brows frowned, making him feel a little painful.
The sound of "sizzling" is loud!
The eight small flags around the formation were then red lights, and black and gray mist flowed out from it, gathering towards the center of the formation.
Seeing this, Liu Le'er's face changed slightly. For some reason, the moment the black and gray mist appeared made her instinctively feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Liu Shi groaned and his face muscles twitched.
"ah"
Liu Le'er couldn't help but exclaim, but immediately his jade hands, whose face turned pale, covered his apricot mouth.
"Shut up! If you interfere with the old Taoist casting spells, can you afford the consequences?" Shiraishi's fingers were still tightly clasped and scolded sternly.
Liu Le'er's heart trembled and she didn't dare to say a word, but the panic in her eyes did not subside.
I saw the mist like a living thing, intertwining into tentacles, twisting and climbing up, and swallowing the willow stones directly.
Then the old Taoist made a gesture with one hand, and a gloomy spell sounded.
The black and gray fog became more and more dense.
The tall young man in the fog first showed a hint of confusion, and then his eyelids drooped, slowly closed his eyes, and he stood straight and fell asleep.
Seeing this, the old Taoist showed a hint of joy on his face. The magic trick in his hand suddenly changed. When he opened his mouth, he spewed out a ball of essence and blood and turned into blood light, which directly penetrated into the black and gray mist.
Suddenly, thick blood came from the fog, and blood-colored runes emerged crazily.
"wrong"
When Liu Le'er saw this, her face changed constantly, and her intuition strongly told her that something was wrong, but due to the previous warning, the girl hesitated a little.
But at this moment, with the old Taoist shouting.
The temperature of the black and gray fog suddenly dropped sharply, and it turned into a huge black ice cube in the crystal light, freezing the tall young man in the middle.
