Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Shadows and Soul Raising Pearls
There is no clear division of magic in the world of immortality, but for the purpose of his own research, Luo Hong roughly divided this way into three categories: magic, incantation, and mysticism.
The law is born from the spirit, the mantra comes from the gods, and the mysterious power changes.
These three techniques respectively correspond to the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit of the cultivator, and are the foundation of all magical powers.
In the human world today, spells are most commonly used by immortal cultivators. There are fewer incantations. Although they exist, they are not mainstream and not practiced by everyone. Mysterious arts are even rarer because such spells have a negative impact on the physical body.
Demand is too high.
In Tiannan, the cultivators' understanding of spells is generally limited to spells such as enchantment and soul control. They feel that they are just trivial tricks and cannot be used against enemies of the same level.
The spells in the gray mist are extremely obscure, and it is natural for them to be mistaken for the effects of the gray mist itself.
But Luo Hong peeked through this layer, so the whistle he heard was completely different from that of Wuyouzi and Wuyouzi.
Although the whistling sound sounded like a human voice, in fact when it swept across, Luo Hong detected the same fluctuations on the bodies of those ghosts, so the whistling sound was essentially a spell.
What's even more interesting is that the Howling Spell didn't deliberately bypass the three of them, but the impact it had was completely incomparable, so that even though Luo Hong knew that the Howling Spell was a spell, he still didn't feel any strange way.
The reason was unknown to Luo Hong for the time being, but he could probably guess that it had something to do with the protection of the physical body.
There have never been rumors of mysterious roars in the Zhongling Mountains, but the spells in the gray fog have always existed, so Luo Hong has reason to believe that the source of these two is an intelligent individual.
If the other party whistles deliberately, there must be an ulterior motive.
Luo Hong was confident that with his level of soul and his understanding of the transmission principle of the spell, he could not be afraid of the source of the spell, so he did not stop this exploration operation.
Seeing that Luo Hong and Wuyouzi both agreed to continue the investigation, although Nangong Wan felt something was wrong, she also strengthened her confidence.
She patted the storage bag on her waist and pulled out a delicate brass ball with seven orifices on its surface. She activated her magic power, causing melodious music to resound from its seven orifices.
"Seven Wonderful Fairy Sounds! I didn't expect Fairy Nangong to have such a means of calming the mind and calming the mind. It seems that the Huanglongxiang prepared by Pindao is no longer needed."
Wuyouzi narrowed his eyes, heard the origin of the music, and immediately exclaimed.
Luo Hong sensed it carefully and found that the Seven Wonderful Immortal Sounds were also a kind of spell, which could suppress the soul and make the ancient well unrippled. It was indeed an excellent means to resist the spells in the gray fog.
In this way, I don't need to take action before going deep into the core area.
"Fellow Taoists, without further ado, let's continue on our way."
After Nangong Wan confirmed that Qimiao Xianyin had a magical effect on gray mist, the last trace of doubt disappeared in her heart.
As a result, the three of them fled towards the core area again.
This time it was very smooth. Not only the ghosts, but also the evil objects did not jump out. The three of them quickly reached the edge of the core area.
Taking another step forward, there is a gray fog as thick as the curtain wall.
When they arrived here, with the help of Qimiao Xianyin, the three of them clearly felt the gray mist corroding their Nascent Soul, and bursts of tingling sensations came from the surface of the Nascent Soul.
Wuyouzi took out the yellow dragon incense that he had prepared in advance, and after lighting it, the strange feeling was not relieved much.
"The erosion of souls here has increased too much compared to sixty years ago. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay long after entering the core area.
Fellow Daoist Luo, if you have a way to clear your mind and concentrate your mind, then use it."
Wuyouzi said with an expression of embarrassment that his previous estimate of the core of the mountain range was seriously inadequate. If Nangong Wan had not unexpectedly performed the Seven Wonders of Immortal Sound, he would have wanted to go home right now.
After the words fell, Luo Hong did not respond for a long time. His consciousness had been suppressed to about ten miles around his body here, and his senses were extremely blurred, so he was not sure about the two breaths that had just flashed past.
When Wuyouzi saw that Luo Hong ignored him and just looked around, he felt that he had been insulted and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, what did you find?!"
Nangong Wan's expression condensed, she had no intention of competing with Luo Hong, and she realized from the previous events that the other party's consciousness should be much better than her own, so she immediately became vigilant.
"There seems to be something in the fog, and Luo can't sense it clearly. Please be careful!"
Luo Hong's spiritual sense gradually began to feel something bad, proving that the things hidden in the fog were enough to threaten him, so he immediately took out the newly refined black armor shield and fire flag.
When Wuyouzi heard this, his heart trembled. He didn't care to argue with Luo Hong. He was about to sacrifice the magic weapon, but he felt a cold feeling on his back and suddenly felt something bad.
At this time, from Nangong Wan's perspective, an illusory black shadow suddenly rushed out of the gray fog and rushed straight towards Wuyouzi's vest.
The old Taoist's protective spirit shield could not stop him at all. Seeing that the old Taoist was about to be invaded by the black shadow, Nangong Wan immediately used the Suzaku Ring and threw it at the black shadow.
However, the escape speeds of the two sides were almost the same, and the illusory black shadow touched the Taoist robe before the Suzaku Ring.
At this critical moment, a complex blue rune suddenly lit up on Wuyouzi's robe.
Immediately, there was a flash of green light, and the black shadow was bounced away, with tiny blue electric lights dancing on its surface.
The illusory body seemed to be paralyzed by the electric light, trembling weakly.
Nangong Wan was also experienced in battles. He immediately seized this opportunity and drove the Suzaku Ring to draw an arc, enclosing the illusory black shadow in it the next moment.
Then with a thought from her mind, the Vermilion Bird Ring suddenly retracted, wrapping around the waist of the illusory black shadow.
But before she could take the next step, the illusory black shadow stretched its body and escaped from the confinement of the Suzaku Ring.
At the same time, another black shadow emerged from under Nangong Wan's feet, elongating its body in a strange way, and suddenly came close to her.
Fortunately, Nangong Wan never let down his guard. When he noticed something strange, he immediately had a flash of inspiration and escaped ten feet away.
And the black shadow that got rid of the Suzaku ring pounced towards Wuyouzi again.
At this time, Wuyouzi had already offered up the purple and gold round bowl, and a large ball of purple gold hot wind was rolled out. However, the black shadow was only slightly affected, and its movement slowed down a bit, but it continued to drill towards Wuyouzi's head without mercy.
Wuyouzi has been a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul for many years and has fought against Master Mulan many times. He is not an ordinary person.
He had long expected that Zijin Yuanbo might not be able to deal with the strange black shadow in front of him, so he prepared corresponding back-ups.
I saw a green talisman flying out from behind the purple and gold round bowl, and just happened to stick to the black figure crossing the round bowl.
Immediately, several thick cyan electric lights surged out from the talisman, making the black shadow tremble, and black smoke billowed out from the whole body.
Because the situation was urgent, neither of them noticed that the cyan electric light was flowing in the direction of Luo Hong.
After Wuyouzi succeeded in one move, he dodged to distance himself, and when the technique in his hand changed, he would use whatever method he wanted.
No, this bull-nosed guy is going to use thunder!
Luo Hong, who originally wanted to observe for a while, saw Wuyouzi's spell-casting movements and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, no matter who this bull’s nose strikes, it will be me who will be struck in the end!
Therefore, Luo Hong, who did not want to be struck by lightning, took action boldly. As soon as he activated his magic power, several fire dragons flew out of the Fire Flag.
Luo Hong did not let it attack the black shadow, but instead drove the fire dragons to fly around the three of them, wrapping the area where the three were in into a fireball.
Since the gray fog is yin, the gray fog around the fireball is quickly dispersed.
However, because the total amount of fog is too large, only the concentration of fog inside the fireball is diluted, and there is no change at all outside.
As the density of the gray mist inside the fireball suddenly became lighter, the two illusory black figures seemed to be thrown into a pan of oil. Their bodies began to roll violently, and a large amount of black mist evaporated from the inside.
Seeing this strange situation, Nangong Wan and Wuyouzi couldn't help but stop moving their hands and looked at Luo Hong in surprise.
The Flame Dragon was only an intermediate spell. How could it deal with such a strange black shadow? Both of them thought that Luo Hong had secretly used some powerful means.
"It's actually more restrained than Leifa's ability to restrain this strange shadow. I wonder what kind of magical power it is?"
Wuyouzi looked at Luo Hong calmly. One of the purposes of his trip was to find out the details about Luo Hong.
After maintaining the fireball for a few breaths, the black energy in Heiying's body seemed to have been evaporated, and the color was almost gray.
Luo Hong felt that the fire was coming, and with a thought, he caused the surrounding fire dragons to swarm up and engulf the two black figures.
After a while, the fire light faded away, leaving only two black beads where the black shadow originally was.
Wuyouzi, who was just guessing about Luo Hong's magical power, couldn't suppress the greed in his eyes when he saw these two black beads, and said in shock:
"Soul-nurturing beads!
Fellow Daoist Luo, although the strange shadow died at your hands, the poor Taoist also contributed a lot!"
Although Wuyouzi didn't say it clearly, the implication is very clear.
He deserves one of these soul-nurturing beads!
"Fellow Taoist, are you reading that right? It's really the legendary soul-nurturing bead? This thing has only appeared once in Tiannan. How can you be so sure?"
Nangong Wan could no longer remain reserved after hearing the name of Soul-Nursing Pearl, and asked with a change in her face.
"It can't be wrong! The soul-nurturing bead thousands of years ago was obtained by my senior from the Qingxu Sect. There are detailed records of this bead in the sect's ancient books.
It is said that if this bead is taken raw, it can greatly increase the consciousness of the immortal cultivator.
And the effect is immediate and doesn’t take much time to refine!”
After Wuyouzi stared at the soul-raising beads and explained, he turned his eyes to Luo Hong, formed a Taoist formula with his right hand, and said sanctimoniously:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, those two black figures are coming towards Pindao and Fairy Nangong, which proves that this soul-nurturing bead is destined to me and the other two.
If fellow Taoist can let go, the two of us will compensate him with treasures of equal value."
Luo Hong glanced at Wuyouzi and secretly thought that this Niubi usually wanted to be the most shameless, but when the big profits were in front of him, he was also the one who wanted to be the least shameless.
Without rushing to respond directly, Luo Hong looked at Nangong Wan with a slight smile and said:
"Fellow Taoist Nangong also thinks what Taoist Wuyouzi said is reasonable?"
Haha, our Qingxu Sect has been moving closer to the Biyue Sect for the past hundred years, and Pindao and Nangong Wan had some friendship in the past, so she will definitely stand with Pindao at this time.
