Standing on the seventh step, my uncle finally understood what was strange about these steps.
There is one evil ghost sealed on the first step, two evil ghosts sealed on the second step, and so on.
At this time, my uncle was standing on the steps of the seventh section, with seven evil spirits not far away staring at him eagerly.
The body-protecting power in my uncle's body was about to be exhausted, and there was only a glimmer of golden light left. He knew that when the light dissipated, these evil ghosts would pounce on him.
It was not difficult for my uncle to estimate that the seven demons that were nearly materialized and had spiritual wisdom had been practicing for more than two hundred years. My uncle was very self-aware and thought that it would be difficult to fight them all at the same time, so he simply turned around and left. He walked down the steps.
Nothing unusual happened at that time. It seems that the purpose of this evil ghost formation is to block people entering the mountain.
Once again, my uncle returned to the big tree and leaned on the trunk, staring closely at the black stone platform. Relying on the strongest protective spell, he could only reach the seventh step, which was still two steps away from what the master said.
Festival.
The uncle closed his eyes and began to think about how to get to the ninth section of the stairs. According to the current rules, there will be seventeen evil ghosts in the eighth and ninth sections, only a few less than the previous six sections combined. Even if it is.
Using two different protective spells at the same time, by the ninth session, the remaining energy was not enough to protect him.
After thinking about it, the only way my uncle came up with was to use the protective spells on the first four steps and rely on his own ability to subdue the evil spirits. On the fifth stage, he started to use the protective spells on the stone platform, so that he could definitely get to the ninth level.
The stone platform.
After a slight adjustment, my uncle stepped onto the first step. The scene in front of him changed instantly, a misty and hazy space was formed, and then a black shadow struck towards his uncle.
The uncle, who was well prepared, thrust out the peach wood sword and then threw the rune in his hand towards the black shadow.
"receive!"
The black shadow did not hide in the talisman as planned by his uncle, but ran away in panic. His uncle followed closely and chased him for a while. After chasing for a distance, he suddenly realized that he was standing in front of the first place.
There is no such a big space on this section of steps. This is a phantom array.
It occurred to me that I had used a protective spell before, and that the evil ghost on this step had exhausted its energy after colliding with me several times before appearing on the second step.
If you want to reach the second step, there is only one way, and that is to destroy the evil ghost. So far, it seems that the evil ghost is somewhat intelligent this time, and will start to flee after being hurt.
The uncle recited the spell to ask for directions, and then waved the Taomu Sword. After confirming the direction, he took a step back. The hazy space dissipated and the surrounding area returned to its original appearance.
This time my uncle was cruel, biting his finger and smearing the blood from his fingertip on the peach wood sword. After much deliberation, he felt it was still not safe, so he bit the index finger of the other hand and a large drop of blood dripped onto the talisman paper.
Sure enough, this time when he stepped onto the black stone steps, the evil ghost rushed towards his uncle as before. His uncle's peach wood sword stabbed the evil ghost accurately, and the evil ghost let out a scream, and his uncle saw the stone platform in the second section.
On the fourth step, my uncle felt it was very difficult to fight. It seemed that with his own ability, he could only deal with four evil ghosts who had practiced for hundreds of years at the same time with force alone.
After defeating four evil ghosts sealed by the stone platform in a row, my uncle also understood the situation. The evil ghosts sealed by the stone platform can only be scattered, but cannot be conquered.
Every time the soul-collecting spell is cast, it fails. The evil ghost seems to be pulled by a strange force and cannot be sucked into the talisman. After the evil ghost is scattered, it will turn into black threads and float around, and then this
The illusion formation on one section of the stone platform disappeared on its own.
Looking at the fifth section of the stone platform, my uncle shook his head and smiled. He took out two more talismans and began to recite the protective spell. When a golden light appeared around his body, his uncle seemed a little dissatisfied and cast another spell on himself.
An indestructible spell.
When he stepped onto the fifth section of the stone platform, nothing unusual happened. My uncle was stunned on the stone platform, looking at the sixth section of the stone platform in a daze. According to previous experience, he should have faced five animals on this section of the stone platform.
Evil ghost, my uncle is ready for a fierce fight.
With doubts, my uncle stepped onto the sixth stone platform. The sixth stone platform did not disappoint him. After the scene changed, six vicious ghosts rushed towards him.
The uncle, who had been blessed with a protective spell, dispersed the six evil spirits without much effort and easily stepped onto the seventh stone platform.
With his previous combat experience, my uncle quickly defeated the seven evil spirits and finally set foot on the eighth stone platform.
Chapter 8 The stone platform did not transform into a gray and hazy space like before. In front of my uncle was a lush mountain forest. Not far from my uncle, there was a giant tiger lying on a huge rock several meters high.
The giant tiger was basking in the sun. He lazily opened his eyes and glanced at his uncle, then let out a roar.
The whole mountain forest shook with the roar of the tiger. My uncle was shaken by the roar of the tiger and became unstable. He inserted the peach wood sword into the soil and stared at the giant tiger closely.
The giant tiger, which I thought was only the size of a calf, roared and stood up. My uncle took a step back in fright. He really didn’t expect that the first time he encountered a tiger in his life would be in such a way. Although his uncle knew clearly that this was the case.
It's just a tiger soul, but this tiger soul is also a bit ridiculously big, about the same size as an adult buffalo in the village.
People will instinctively have curiosity and fear about unknown things. My uncle already knew that the master's talisman pen was made from five-hundred-year-old tiger whiskers, so it was natural for him to attribute the tiger soul in front of him to the category of more than five hundred years old.
It was not until many years later that my uncle realized that tigers that had been practicing Buddhism for hundreds of years were not that huge. At first glance, they looked not much different from ordinary tigers, except for the different patterns on their fur.
The tiger spirit did not immediately attack the uncle. It fell lightly from the boulder and happened to land five or six meters away in front of the uncle. It tilted its head and stared at the uncle with curiosity in its eyes.
At this time, my uncle didn't feel confident, and he was wondering whether his protective spell could withstand this tiger spirit.
One person and one tiger were in a stalemate, staring at each other from far away. Until the uncle's palms started to sweat, the giant tiger suddenly licked his tongue, kicked off his hind legs, and jumped towards his uncle.
My uncle instinctively jumped to the side, and a hot pain came from his arm near his shoulder. This speed was too terrifying. From a distance of five or six meters, my uncle still couldn't dodge due to his extremely fast reaction force.
Sweeped by the giant tiger's tail.
The giant tiger behind him had obvious contempt in his eyes and shook his head lazily. He had no interest in the young man standing in front of him at all. He seemed to just want to get rid of his uncle quickly and return to the boulder to continue basking in the sun.
.
The giant tiger opened its mouth, licked its lips with its scarlet tongue, and rushed towards the uncle again. This time, the uncle did not dodge, holding the mahogany sword tightly in his hand, looking at the path of the giant tiger, and suddenly squatted and struck out
.
The giant tiger flew over the uncle's head, and the peach wood sword passed through the giant tiger's body accurately. Looking at the giant tiger at this time, his eyes were wide open, full of anger, and the hair on his body stood up, just staring.
The uncle took one look and pounced on him again.
When the uncle followed the law and dodge again, he thrust out the wooden sword. This time, a white light was clearly visible across the giant tiger's body.
After going back and forth, my uncle discovered that the giant tiger had only one attack method. After figuring out the giant tiger's attack route, my uncle was no longer afraid, and he could stab the giant tiger accurately every time with his mahogany sword.
After half an hour, the giant tiger finally turned into fragments of light and dissipated along with the mountain forest.
The uncle let out a long breath, imagining the monsters that might appear on the stone platform in the next section, and stepped onto the stone platform.
"Huh?"
My uncle stood on the stone platform, and there was no change in the surroundings. Just like the fifth floor, looking at the dark stone platform, my uncle began to wonder.
"Woo~woof!"
A dog barking startled my uncle. Looking at the grass next to the stone platform, a yellow-furred native dog was staring at him with bared teeth.
The uncle who came back to his senses touched his head and smiled foolishly.
He has seen this kind of local dog too many times. In the village below the village, there are several families who keep guard dogs. They have a very gentle personality. As long as you don't enter other people's houses, they will wag their tails at you.
"Little guy, it's dangerous here! Don't run around, or you may lose your life."
The uncle ignored the native dog's grinning at him, and instead spoke to the native dog softly. He hoped that the puppy would understand what he said and leave here quickly.
After confirming that there was no threat, the uncle stared at the black stone platform extending to the mountain below. How many sections did it have? The master was also very good. He had spent so much time to get to the ninth section, and he casually climbed up.
Once you reach the mountains, when will you be able to become a master?
The uncle was just sighing at the master's ability when suddenly a black shadow shot out and hit him directly, and at the same time a claw slapped his leg.
The uncle's body fell backwards and rolled along the stone platform to the ground. During the rolling process, the uncle remembered the native dog he met next to the stone platform in Chapter 9, with purple eyes.
"It's so good. I never dreamed that I would fall on a local dog."
The uncle shook his head and looked at the deep scratches on his legs, which were bleeding with black blood, and his pants were dyed deep black in a short time.
"This time when I go back to the house, I have to stew dog meat to replenish my body. The melon seeds are actually poisonous."
The uncle shook his head helplessly, sighed and cursed. After cursing enough, he took out a piece of talisman from his pocket and began to recite the curse to stop the bleeding.
"Disciple looked up at the sky. Eighteen Arhats were by his side. He shouted three times and the heavenly soldiers came, and he shouted three times and the earth soldiers came. The skin was broken and the skin was broken, and the broken bones were connected. One, there was no pain, two, there was no bleeding, three, there was no thickening, and four, there was no action.
Rub. Lao Li's oral tradition says that when a disciple walks a foot and retreats a step, he will bleed moxa velvet. He is as urgent as a law or order!"
