Chapter 282 - The Beauty Sleeping by the Tree (1/2)
Chapter 282 The Beauty Sleeping by the Tree
Commander Qin follows Lin Luoran down the revolving steps. The veteran commander has seen much of life. He is much more of a calmer than Lin Luoran about the soul wood.
However, Commander Qin can’t keep calm about meeting the crazy Taoist.
The crazy Taoist is his ancestor but looks younger than him in appearance. Commander Qin does not dare to call the crazy Taoist ancestor without permission.
Lin Luoran takes Baojia in her arms and goes down to the end. Then she finds out that the crazy Taoist and Liu Zheng have already dug a large horizontal hole in the center of the soul wood. Broken timbers are all over the place.
Noticing how big the tree hole is, Lin Luoran is shocked, “Master, are you going to let Bao Jia… lay in there?”
It is kind of a strange feeling to put a person in a living tree. What’s more, when the tree gash is closed, how can Baojia breathe? And how can she get food? It makes Lin Luoran full of wonder. The crazy Taoist does not get angry at her words but laughs,
“She is not only the only child of the Qin but also Jiang. I will never hurt her. Boy Qin, how about you, any question?”
Lin Luoran’s face turns red. Commander Qin replies quickly, “It’s all up to you, master.”
Both Baojia’s grandfather and great-great-grandfather think so. In this way, Lin Luoran has nothing to say but carefully puts Baojia in the tree cave under the crazy Taoist’s guidance. The tree hole is so large that a man can almost stand in it. Lin Luoran puts down Baojia in the tree hole. Thinking that she can’t meet her friends any more for a long time, she is reluctant to leave Baojia.
Baojia’s hair is very long. Lin Luoran remembers the snow sword she had just made a few days ago. Merged with snow, it will be more powerful. Even not, it is still enough for her to fight on usual occasions. When she first knew about Baojia’s Taoist root, she wanted to give her the flying sword of the Water. At that time, to encourage Baojia to learn spell sooner, she did not immediately give her the “gift” she had promised. But after the trip to the desert, Baojia has been in deep slumber… Lin Luoran combs Baojia’s hair and helps her to wear a hairpin with phoenix. The sword will be a belated gift. But it can be a surprise when Baojia wakes up. So maybe it is also nice?
The crazy Taoist touches his greasy beard and glances at everyone’s faces. The next second, for the first time, Lin Luoran sees the cultivator’s spell with her own two eyes. Without dazzling light or many gestures, he just lifts his right hand lightly, and then the broken timbers begin to spin up.
More precisely, only parts of them are spinning, like some jigsaw puzzles under his control. They are used to patch the tree. And then the next moment, the big hole, which is enough for people to bend in, disappeared in front of them.
There are still some cracks. The crazy Taoist trans.m.u.tes the rest of the wood into green liquid and then fills the gaps.
From the outside, no one can see that there is a big hollow that can hide a person in the middle of this huge soul wood.
Lin Luoran uses spiritual mind to check it. The soul wood is worthy of its t.i.tle. Baojia is completely hidden.
“Master, all is done, right?” Lin Luoran looks at the soul wood which looks exactly the same as the original. What kind of spell is this? How does it do this?
The crazy Taoist shakes his head, “Let’s go up first.”
Commander Qin goes first, and after him is Liu Zheng. Lin Luoran is still reluctant to leave. Halfway down the stone ladder, the crazy Taoist stops.
“Lin, do you want to learn how to plant magic circles? Today I will show you for free. Watch!”
The crazy Taoist is going to plant magic circles! Not only Lin Luoran, even Liu Zheng hasn’t got the chance to learn it. The two stare at him without blinking.
The crazy Taoist moves his fingers, and then lots of blue stones emerge from the ground they stand on and the walls around them. Under the control of the crazy Taoist, these blue stones go up into the sky slowly.
Lin Luoran’s breathing has speeded up. She can’t be more familiar with these stones: they are reiki-gathering stones! However, these reiki-gathering stones in the crazy Taoist’s hands are better than the one she found, no matter in color or texture. The crazy Taoist is not going to put up a magic circle with reiki-gathering stones as the circle core but as nodes. How luxury it is!
These reiki-gathering stones are as big as basketb.a.l.l.s, and they rotate in orbits like stars. The crazy Taoist concentrates on controlling them. From time to time, he slightly adjusts their movements.
Lin Luoran tries her best to memorize those orbital routes and the position of these reiki-gathering stones which are the lines and nodes of the magic circle.
More importantly, this is a brand-new magic circle for Lin Luoran. It almost has nothing to do with the attack and defense she has learnt.
Liu Zheng is also watching at the beginning. But soon he feels dizzy and the lines and nodes in his brain are messed up. Now he knows part of the reasons why the crazy Taoist doesn’t ask him to learn it. Maybe he does not have enough personal ability. The only thing he can do is closing his eyes to digest the part he has memorized. He can not understand them now. If he continues to look at it, he will hurt himself.
This magic circle is more complicated than the protection circle and the Water Attack circle. Lin Luoran holds on longer than Liu Zheng and remembers the main part of it. But she still feels a pain in her brain.
“I can’t watch it anymore.” Lin Luoran has to give up, and it’s almost the end of it.
The crazy Taoist flicks, and then these reiki-gathering stones in orbits are shot into the ground, walls, or even the tops of caves close to the ground.
The crazy Taoist has begun to do the final step of planting magic circles, inception of spirit.
Two streams of Wakan pour out from his fingertips, one blue and one green. The crazy Taoist also belongs to both the Water and the Wood. Is this a coincidence? Or it’s because of the blood of the Baojia family, which the crazy Taoist calls as the blood of Jiuli Tribe? Maybe no one can solve these questions for her. The next moment, what happens disrupts her thoughts.
There is a fierce water rus.h.i.+ng out from the mountainside. Lin Luoran thinks it is torrential flood. But the crazy Taoist shouts, “All of you, get out first!”
