Chapter 42: Origin text - 27 [Who are You Again?]_2 Modified:
This is strange!
The hair was clearly Lu Sisi’s, she cut it right in front of me.
According to the spell, using Lu Sisi’s hair would allow the smoke to integrate with the little paper figurine.
But...
Even though it’s her hair, why can’t I find her Primordial Spirit?
Could it be that I used the spell incorrectly?
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, quickly creating a new paper figurine.
This time, he didn’t write down the Eight Characters, instead, he took out the bloody cloth that he had taken from Lu Sisi’s head.
He dipped the brush in clean water, then brushed back and forth over the bloodstained area of the cloth.
Finally, he quickly drew a symbol on the new paper figurine.
"With blood and flesh as bait, awaken the original spirit..."
Bah!
"With blood and flesh as bait, swiftly return the Primordial Spirit!"
With the infusion of Primordial Qi, the new paper figurine suddenly stood up on the table!
Chen Yan once again burned a lock of hair over the candle flame, and after infusing it with a breath of Primordial Qi...
This time, a wisp of blue smoke smoothly merged into the new paper figurine!
Chen Yan suddenly felt a thrill in his heart!
It worked!
Chen Yan squinted at the two little paper figurines on the table.
His gaze landed on the paper figurine on the left — the one with Lu Sisi’s blood and the blue smoke from the burnt hair.
"This one is Lu Sisi!"
Chen Yan muttered softly to himself, then diverted his gaze and squinted at the other paper figurine on the table with a more peculiar expression.
The paper figurine that clearly had Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters written on it!
Chen Yan’s eyes became colder as he stared at the paper figurine.
"So, who are you?"
·
At this moment, Chen Yan had already guessed some clues, just by looking at this paper figurine with Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters.
"Without the guiding object, the Primordial Spirit doesn’t return; do you think I won’t be able to find you?"
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow.
Do you even know who my grandmother is!!
She is someone that even the Black and White Governors would kneel and kowtow to!
How could the magic recorded in the secret manual left by my grandmother be compared to ordinary spells?
Without the guiding object of blood and flesh, do you think I can’t find you?
Chen Yan squinted his eyes, quickly taking the secret manual in his hand, flipping to a certain page.
"Let’s look at our family’s secret technique! The Seven Arrows Nail Head Book!"
Chen Yan pointed with his finger!
But... after two seconds, he slowly lowered his hand and sighed.
Alas, it would be great if my grandmother had really left the Seven Arrows Nail Head Book.
If I had learned it, wouldn’t I be able to kill gods if they block my way, and slay demons if they obstruct me?
Unfortunately, there isn’t one.
In the manual, there is indeed a spell that is somewhat similar to the legendary Seven Arrows Nail Head Book.
However, it can’t harm anyone and is more like a kind of "Black Magic Curse·Tracking Technique."
As long as you have someone’s Eight Characters, you can cast the spell to create a small paper figurine that can track the location of the original body using some secret methods.
If it were a few days ago, Chen Yan still wouldn’t have been capable of performing this spell.
But after being further strengthened by the "Lu Sisi Experience Pack," he decided to give it a try.
Chen Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, placing the "paper figurine with Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters" in front of him.
He formed a hand gesture, changing several times in quick succession, then picked up the brush and swiftly dotted the head and legs of the paper figurine three times!
"Search!"
The paper figurine suddenly stood up again, spinning in place rapidly before standing still, pointing in a certain direction.
Chen Yan’s face lit up!
The position where the paper figurine stood was exactly where the original body was located.
Chen Yan’s body surged with Primordial Qi, and he poured it down into the paper figurine without hesitation!
The paper figurine, already floating in mid-air, slowly moved in a certain direction under the infusion of Primordial Qi.
Chen Yan looked on, remembering the direction: towards the southwest.
With each step the paper figurine took, Chen Yan felt his Primordial Qi pouring out like a tide — the spell’s consumption was greater than he had anticipated.
The leading method of the paper figurine, one step a hundred miles.
"One hundred miles...not enough! No!
Two hundred miles...still not there...
Four steps...damn, the consumption is too great, I’m running out of Primordial Qi!"
Damn it, is this guy hiding so far away?"
The farther the distance in a Black Magic Curse·Soul Searching, the greater the consumption of Primordial Qi.
With Chen Yan’s current ability, searching in a certain direction up to 300 kilometers was his limit.
Feeling his Primordial Qi unable to sustain any longer, he reluctantly decided to give up.
At that moment, the Jadeite Ring on his thumb suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and a powerful surge of pure Primordial Qi suddenly poured into Chen Yan’s body from his thumb!
Caught off guard, Chen Yan shivered, the rush of Primordial Qi through his body causing him to let out a cry of surprise.
Then, the paper figurine suddenly began moving rapidly in that direction, taking many steps one after another!
One step a hundred miles, ten steps is a thousand kilometers!
"Go! Keep going, don’t stop!!"
·
Port City, mid-levels of Tai Ping Mountain.
In a luxurious mansion estate, a three-story villa stood nestled among the lush greenery on the hillside.
On the rooftop terrace of the villa, an elderly man dressed in traditional alchemist robes was holding a compass, taking measurements step by step, while quickly divining with his other hand.
The face of the old man, rosy and full of vitality, exuded an aura of a celestial being, and with his crane-like hair, he appeared even more like a master.
"Chairman Lü, the wealth position has been calculated, it’s right over there."
The old man closed the compass and said with a smile: "You can build a feng shui fish pond there and raise 49 koi fish.
Seeing water means seeing wealth, and since Chairman Lü is a businessman, this residence will surely bring you prosperity..."
A middle-aged man in a suit, originally standing beside the terrace, looked quite imposing. Upon hearing this, he laughed heartily: "Then I must thank Elder Zhong for the blessing! Having Elder Zhong to set the feng shui for my new home means it surely will bring great fortune!"
Elder Zhong laughed heartily upon hearing this, slowly walking to the edge of the terrace, looking down from the steps.
"This house, backed by the mountain, surrounded by wind, and able to see water, is already an excellent dwelling, Chairman Lü, rest assured!"
"Haha! Please, Elder Zhong, let’s go downstairs and have another look inside."
"Sure, sure."
"Elder Zhong, watch your step on the stairs."
"Haha, Chairman Lü is joking. Though I’m getting old, I’m not yet at the point where my legs are feeble. Hahaha... oh?
Oh? Oh, oh?
What’s happening to my legs?
Oh no!
Damn it!"
In the midst of laughter, Chairman Lü watched as Elder Zhong, walking towards the stairs, suddenly seemed to lose control of his legs, taking a big step forward...
And then, missing a step, he fell headfirst down the stairs!
Chairman Lü was stunned for a second, then immediately shouted: "Someone, come quickly! Elder Zhong has fallen down the stairs!!!"
He quickly ran to the stairs...
Seeing Elder Zhong lying at the bottom of the stairs, over two and a half floors down, with blood on his face and forehead, groaning in pain, unable to get up.
Chairman Lü froze for another second...
"Someone, come quickly!! Call an ambulance, Elder Zhong is hurt!"
·
Chen Yan let out a breath of relief, as his whole body’s Qi fluctuations gradually dissipated, and he fell backward, lying on the ground.
His body felt weak, as if all his strength had been drained.
"Found it...in Port City."
