But last time, Tao Xiaowu had already gained experience. He stayed calm in the face of danger, calmed his mind, and finished the spell word for word.
As Tao Xiaowu finished reciting the last word of the spell, the rotting corpse suddenly showed an angry look and roared.
The illusion was shattered at this moment, as a loud noise and a scream of fear came from the Xu family girl's room.
Then the entire roof seemed to be lifted up by some updraft, and the compacted thatch and tiles flew around!
The crowd watching the fun inside and outside Xu's courtyard were scurrying around. Some of them had been beaten to the point of bleeding!
Fortunately, it only lasted a moment, and then everything became completely quiet.
The girl from the Xu family in the room has fainted!
The water ghost possessing her has been driven away.
Everyone in the Xu family is extremely grateful to Tao Xiaowu!
The other people in the nearby water, seeing the scene just now, all thought that Tao Xiaowu's witchcraft was so powerful.
At this moment, I was in awe of Tao Xiaowu deep in my bones!
However, at this time, Tao Xiaowu was cold and full of fear: "He wants to kill me, he really wants to kill me... If I was afraid just now, if I missed a word in the spell, or if there was a pause, I would have
Dead!"
…
The so-called ghost of Heng water is also called the god of Heng water.
Nowadays, there is no distinction between ghosts and gods. They have powers beyond the ordinary. They are often called ghosts and gods!
Of course, there is another way to say it, that is, evil gods who have not been canonized and recognized are called ghosts.
And those who are recognized by heaven and man and build temples to offer sacrifices are called gods!
Of course, this does not mean that all ghosts are ghosts and gods.
For example, the drowned ghost is a ghost that drowned in the river. Just like the legend of Tao Xiaowu's previous life, this kind of ghost often likes to find a substitute.
However, these are not the key.
The key is that Tao Xiaowu could clearly feel that when he cast the spell to summon the ghost of the water, the ghost of the water had a crazy murderous intention!
It wants Tao Xiaowu to die!
After returning to Wuli, Tao Xiaowu fell seriously ill. His whole body was alternately hot and cold, and he was in a state of swing.
Fortunately, Wu Cheng gave him a bowl of medicinal soup made from unknown materials, and he recovered from the sweat.
But thinking about what Wu Cheng always used to brew witchcraft medicine, he felt queasy.
After recovering from the illness, Tao Xiaowu still felt very weak.
It's as if the body has been hollowed out!
Fortunately, he was young and recovered after seven or eight days of rest.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu vaguely knew that this should be a side effect of performing witchcraft!
"No wonder Master Wu Cheng is so ill. He is not too old, just over fifty years old.
When I first met him, I thought he was seventy or eighty years old!"
These days, Tao Xiaowu still comes to that gloomy old building in his dreams, to the room with the corpse and many alchemy and Taoist books.
It's a pity that every time Tao Xiaowu goes in, he gets into the treasure mountain in vain.
Because all the books were placed in glass bookcases and he couldn't take them out.
And he couldn't turn the pages of the only book that fell to the ground.
In this way, more than a month has passed quickly.
Wu Cheng's health is getting worse and worse.
Especially this night, Tao Xiaowu woke up from his dream and heard the heart-wrenching breathing next door.
Tao Xiaowu had never heard Wu Cheng cough so painfully before. He felt an ominous feeling in his heart and hurriedly got dressed and went out to check.
But he saw Wu Cheng, who was coughing, huddled up on the bed.
Seeing Tao Xiaowu, Wu Cheng seemed to be reluctant to say something, but the huge pain made him speechless...
When the Night Witch left like this, and he left in the middle of the night!
After Wu Cheng coughed, he finally fell asleep, and Tao Xiaowu thought his symptoms were relieved.
The next morning, someone next door prepared breakfast and delivered it. When Tao Xiaowu went to wake up the master, he discovered that Wu Cheng had already gone.
Tao Xiaowu knew that the wizard had been alive for a short time, but he did not expect that he would die that night.
After burying Wucheng, Tao Xiaowu took over everything in the yard and truly became the master of it.
However, Tao Xiaowu's heart was somewhat empty. How could a human being be ruthless like a tree?
Since Tao Xiaowu was taken in by Wu Cheng, the two have been in contact for almost half a year, so Wu Cheng is not bad for Tao Xiaowu.
Suddenly, Wu Cheng gave up and left. Of course, Tao Xiaowu felt empty...
Especially Wucheng's funeral was held very quietly, with no guests at all.
Only a few other families in Wuli came to attend the funeral.
What chilled Tao Xiaowu was that as soon as Wu Cheng died, Qiu Yuan showed that he didn't take him seriously at all.
Even though Tao Xiaowu had been mentally prepared for a long time, seeing Qiu Yuan's attitude still made his heart sink!
In addition to these heavy-hearted things, of course there are also some things that make Tao Xiaowu feel happy and comforted.
That is, Wu Cheng also left such a big house and hundreds of thousands of dollars in inheritance to Tao Xiaowu.
At the beginning, Tao Xiaowu was just a homeless man, pretending to be a wizard to get food and drinks.
And now, Tao Xiaowu not only inherited so much inheritance.
According to the government's classification, it can be regarded as a middle-class family.
Moreover, I have the foundation and skills to survive in this world.
Of course Tao Xiaowu was very grateful to Wu Cheng!
However, Tao Xiaowu was very afraid of performing witchcraft.
He already vaguely knew that witchcraft had very strong sequelae, and even had huge backlash. If someone was not good at performing witchcraft, they would die.
Even if the backlash is suppressed, it will take a huge toll on the body.
It is said that almost none of the wizards in this lineage live past the age of sixty!
This is the power of witch medicine to prolong life. If Wu Cheng hadn't been proficient in witch medicine, he might have died ten years earlier.
Tao Xiaowu had a strong urge to escape and no longer be a wizard.
But he also understood that he actually had nowhere to go.
Not to mention the things he promised Wu Cheng, just say that he no longer wants to be a wizard. What can he do in this strange world?
In this world, all people are organized into households, and household registration management is much stricter than in the previous world.
In previous lives, there was a large floating population in China, but in this world there is no such thing as floating population, and everyone is firmly tied to the land.
Even if you go to do business, you will still be suppressed by the government, and you will also be subject to business registration management.
Therefore, Tao Xiaowu, an outsider with no identity, really can't do anything outside of the wizarding profession.
