C23 (1/2)
Xia Mingyuan placed the box containing Long Yujue back into the drawer behind him before turning around to take the talisman that he had just finished drawing.
He took the talisman in his hand and suddenly stopped, looking up at me.
I was trying to see how he was going to solve the problem when I saw him looking at me. I don't know why, but I had a bad feeling about it.
”Master, are you thinking of …” He … He … He is looking at me like that. It can't be that he wants me to cast the spell, right?
”You still have to learn how to cast your own spell. Choosing the day is worse than hitting the sun. Moreover, you caught this ghost yourself!”
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although I had mentally prepared myself to properly study magic, it was still a bit too fast.
”Master, I'm afraid that I've messed up this matter. It's better if you, an old man, come and cast the spell until I'm familiar with it!”
Xia Mingyuan saw that she was truly a bit scared, so he nodded. ”There are many opportunities like this. I'll let you off this time …”
As he finished speaking, he placed the hand seal on the rune.
After Xia Mingyuan cast the spell, I saw the rune flash with a golden light. Just as I was about to say that this light looked quite mysterious, I heard a sharp cry come from the rune.
This scream made my heart tremble and I almost slipped off my chair. I immediately covered my ears with my hands and looked towards Xia Mingyuan for help. However, he only frowned and was not moved by the shout.
”Master, this …” How long will she have to shout? ”
”That's enough. Your strenuous whistling can only scare my disciple to the point of covering her ears. Do you think that I will be afraid of you?”
After he finished speaking, he threw the talisman onto the ground and calmly looked at it.
This talisman caused screams to fill the entire room. It seemed that the talisman didn't intend to stop for a long time. I couldn't hold it in any longer (mainly because my hands were numb) and thought about how people were being bullied, so I fiercely opened my mouth and said, ”Shut up! Do you really want to die? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow talisman stopped and faintly landed on the ground. A wisp of white smoke curled out of the rune and slowly took the form of a young girl.
This girl was wearing an aqua green long skirt with a picture of a black dragon embroidered on the hem. The collar of the dress was sparkling with ripples.
He had a standard oval face, almond eyes and red lips. He was clearly an ancient woman!
No wonder her resentment was so heavy. So she was an ancient person. From the looks of her clothes … Qing dynasty? Ming dynasty?
I looked at the girl in front of me, more and more at a loss as I turned to Xia Mingyuan.
”Master, which dynasty is this?”
”Disciple, this is not a dynasty, this is a ghost.”
”Ah?” I just heard that I've seen a spirit ghost not long ago. While sighing over the unforeseen events, I asked, ”Teacher, do spirit ghosts always wear this?”
Xia Mingyuan waved his hand, signaling me not to speak, and raised his eyes to look at the ghost girl.
”Miss, you are a spirit ghost! I would never have thought that a spirit ghost would be judged and cast by me, but you have violated the rules of the underworld and the human world. If you don't explain yourself, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for you to leave this place today.”
”Daoist Priest, you don't have to scare me. I'm no longer a member of the Spirit Ghost Clan. If you want to beat me to dust, then just rely on your intentions. In any case, my life is nothing but endless pain.”
When Xia Mingyuan heard her words, he was surprised. The Spirit Ghost Clan did not easily expel their clansmen, not more than a few in the past hundred years. This girl in front of him looked young, she definitely could not have been expelled for killing people and committing heinous crimes.
”You are Su-Wai?”
Su Huaisha didn't expect such a young Taoist to know her name. She was stunned for a moment before she nodded helplessly. ”Yes, I'm Su Wangsha.”
