Twelve Trials from Scratch

"Dao and my friend..."

Looking at Dao He who was sitting by the bed and stretching out his hand to take off his clothes, Su Qi, who had turned into an 11-year-old boy, said shyly, "Although I'm not a casual person, if it's you, It’s ok. It’s just that it’s the first time for him, so please be gentle later, okay?”

Daohe's movements froze, and then he showed eyes looking at trash, and said coldly: "No, you misunderstood, although I am as good as Long Yang, I still don't like an ugly man like you."

"Hey, my friend, life is already so difficult, why bother to hurt each other?"

"It was you idiot who disgusted people first." After he finished speaking, he grabbed the medicine bottle beside the bed and threw it into Su Qi's arms, folded his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "Hey, now I'll give you the medicine, apply it yourself, I won't wait for you gone."

Su Qi sat up on the crude plank bed, and the fractured limbs felt dull pain due to the displacement, which made him frown slightly.Then he looked at his right hand that was splinted, then at his left hand and legs that were tightly wrapped in bandages, and resolutely bowed his head and admitted, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Please, my lord, you must have a lot of help. Let's do it next."

Daohe snorted softly, "I'm sorry, Master Daohe rejected your apology, please work hard yourself."

"Xiaohehe~~" Su Qi had an exaggerated expression like Qiong Yao's, and said sadly with a Taiwanese romantic tone: "Don't be so sweet! He is a close friend who will live and die with you, forgive him, okay? !"

Daohe shivered, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop! I'm afraid of you, don't be disgusting anymore, I'll paint it for you."

After finishing speaking, he brought back the medicine bottle, beckoned Su Qi to come closer, and while helping him take off his shirt, revealing his upper wound covered with bruises, he said: "I always feel that after you were beaten up by Dao Lian, your mouth is so cheap again. a lot."

The system service is still very comprehensive.Before Su Qi took over, the original body's speech and behavior habits had been deliberately shaped to be similar to Su Qi's. He was a weird kid full of coquettish words, so that Su Qi would not have to deliberately pretend to prevent people from discovering that the original body's consciousness had been altered. .

However, the pirated version is not as good as the genuine one, and of course Su Qi himself is better in terms of Sao Hua, so now Daohe feels a subtle difference.

Well, I'm new here, so I can't be too rough...

Su Qi told himself to restrain himself a bit, and said, "Probably because I saw a great soul when I was dying, so my ventriloquism has become much stronger."

Daohe opened the medicine bottle, poured out some pungent-smelling oil, spread it evenly on his palm, and said with a sneer, "You are still a great soul, I think you almost met Hades. I have advised you not to talk nonsense, How was it this time? The person behind the arrangement happened to be overheard, and he was almost beaten to death by Dao Lian."

"I just take salt for the truth, just tell the truth." Su Qi sneered slightly while enduring the itching caused by the medicine smeared on his body: "Daolian is the young master of the main line of Taoism, and he has accepted the best medicine since he was a child." Cultivation, free access to all kinds of resources, even holding spirits is more than one level stronger than ours... Speaking of a fair competition, the winner can become the next Patriarch of Taoism, and go to participate in the war of psychics. Our lives are only used as stepping stones for him."

"Okay, don't mention it anymore, at least you have saved your life. You must know that the young master never shows mercy. Compared with the unlucky ones who were killed before, you are already considered lucky."

"Heh, he didn't show mercy, he just interrupted my hands and feet deliberately, wanting me to suffer more torture and humiliation."

"No matter what, you can't beat him. So let's put this question on hold for the time being. What you should consider most now is what to do if you come to the bottom of the next assessment and are expelled from the city."

In order to let the soul boys work hard and compete with each other, Dao Yuan, the contemporary Patriarch of Taoism, set the rules. The soul boys who are practicing in the city have a small test every January, a high school test every June, and a big test every year.Regardless of whether it is the small test, the middle test or the big test, those who rank in the bottom ten for three consecutive times will be expelled from the city. They will survive and practice alone in the mountains around Daocheng for at least one month. They can only return to the city after being ranked in the top ten in the next test.

The dojo is surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and there are many kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts. It is almost impossible for a boy to survive in such an environment, so the deportee is almost dead.

"What else can I do, let's survive in the wilderness. I, Daocheng Grylls, don't pay attention to mere mountains and forests."

Su Qi has no pressure.There is still nearly a month until the next assessment, and he doesn't think he will be at the bottom again.

"Don't talk stupid." Daohe didn't know where his confidence came from, and advised with a sullen face: "Fortunately, Taoism is best at manipulating and repairing corpses, plus the black jade continuation bone paste from Kanli Palace and Huayu activating oil, your injury should be almost healed in a few days. In the next 20 days, I will find a way to help you improve your strength, maybe you can improve your ranking by a few places, so you can avoid this time. "

"Dao and my friend... I am very moved."

"Come on less. You took care of me when I was sick last year. This time I'm just paying you back."

Just as the two were talking and applying medicine, the light outside gradually dimmed, and night fell slowly.

Boom!Boom!thump...

The sound of a thick drum suddenly sounded outside. Just as he put away the medicine bottle, he paused and turned his head to look outside. "The evening drum is beating, and the evening class is about to start. Dao Cheng, let's go together."

"Huh? Let me, a seriously injured person, go to evening class, Xiaohehe, don't you want to murder Yiyou?"

In order to avoid 404, the world line was changed a little bit, and China was replaced by Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 2 You beast, get the hell out of here!

"Of course boxing and weapons can't be practiced, but spirit possession should be fine. I remember, you haven't completely subdued that tiger spirit yet, have you?"

Generally speaking, the evening class of Taoist priests is to meditate and chant scriptures, but as psychics trained towards combat, the evening classes of Dao Cheng and Dao He are of course not the case.

In addition to the Taoist scripture training they received as a Taoist family when they were young, there are only three types of things they have to learn after they become soul boys, boxing, weapons, and psychics.Among them, boxing and weapons are relatively simple. Taoism, which has been passed down for more than [-] years, has efficient teaching methods, and can even attach powerful warrior spirits directly to the trainees, allowing them to quickly reach a certain level in boxing and weapons.

Not so with psychics.In this world, the soul power of the living is called witch power, and the soul power of spirit bodies such as dead spirits, elves, and gods is called spiritual power. The strength of witch power depends on the willpower of the psychic. How powerful or not depends on the purity of the spirit body; the more powerful the spirit body is, the more powerful the witch power is needed to control it. Otherwise, if it is forcibly controlled, it is very likely that the consciousness will be broken and become a lunatic, or even die directly.

At the beginning, every psychic's magic power value is innate, and to increase it must go through a long practice or experience death, and these are too difficult for soul boys who have not even grown up. It is not something that can be easily strengthened by simple exercise, so their witch power is generally low, and it is naturally difficult to control the spirit body... The reason why Daocheng was unable to subdue the tiger spirit was, in the final analysis, also because the witch power was too low reason.

"Okay, you're right, I just want to trouble you to push me over."

Su Qi is as good as a follower of kindness.After all, with King Ma Cang Ye as the opponent, in fact, he himself is also under pressure. Of course, he didn't think about being lazy, and it was just a lip service before.

"Then let's go."

Daohe didn't talk nonsense, he directly pulled the wheelchair to the side of the bed, helped Su Qi put on his robe, and hugged him easily - Taoism has pills to increase strength, plus years of martial arts practice, whether it is Daohe or Su Qi Qi's body is far stronger than that of ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old children.

"Give."

Before going out, Daohe took down a big gourd hanging on the wall, poured out a white pill the size of an egg yolk from it, and handed it to Su Qi.

This is a Taoist special Bigu Dan, which is made from astragalus, poria cocos, sealwort, ginseng, sesame, honey, glutinous rice flour, etc. One piece is enough to supplement human nutrition, and it is also very hungry like a compressed biscuit, saving a soul boy It is time for them to eat, so that they can concentrate more on their cultivation.

"It's this tasteless thing again."

Su Qi sighed lightly, took it and swallowed it in his mouth.

The last world was the Warring States Period in Japan, and I haven’t been able to eat a few good meals. I thought this Shaman King was in the modern world, and I finally had the opportunity to satisfy my appetite, but I didn’t expect to have to nest in the mountains and eat this kind of food. The Bigu Wan, which basically only has a faint sweet taste, now he even deeply misses the Shaxian snacks downstairs.

……

After a while, Daohe pushed Su Qi out of the wing room, through the patio, out of the small courtyard, and walked along the bluestone-paved alleyway towards the center of Daocheng.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Su Qi looked around, and saw that on both sides of the alleyway were small courtyards with a similar structure, with braziers on both sides of the courtyard door, and from time to time, he could be seen wearing black exercise clothes and light blue Taoist robes, with them A boy dressed similarly walked out of the door and hurried towards the alleyway.

During the period, some people passed by the two of them, either turning a blind eye or glanced at them coldly, and there were many people who were malicious and gloating, and the atmosphere was very discordant.

Su Qi didn't care about this either.After all, everyone is a competitor, and besides Dao and this roommate, it is strange that other people can love each other.If such a person really appears, he should be careful whether the other party is trying to plot against him.

Not long after, the two left the alley and continued along the main road in the city.

At this point, the field of vision suddenly became much wider.Su Qi continued to observe, and saw that the eaves and corners of the city were flying, row upon row, and at a glance, it was full of sloping tile surfaces and vertical ridges on the top of the mountain. The uniform ancient style buildings even made people mistakenly think that they had traveled through time and space and returned to a certain ancient city. middle.

However, unlike ordinary ancient cities, there are no restaurants and shops in this city, only pavilions and pavilions, Taoist temples and temples, which are more majestic and solemn.

"It's a modern society outside, and there is not even a single electric light here, and the retro is too hardcore."

Su Qi was pushed all the way forward, while complaining badly in his heart, while borrowing the brazier and lanterns beside the road, he looked with great interest at the two rows of figures standing motionless like javelins on both sides of the road.

They are tall and tall, all of them are wrapped in black overcoats, and the same black round hats with folded edges hang down to cover their heads, but it can be seen that there is a piece of yellow talisman paper with cinnabar runes on their foreheads, The exposed skin on the chin and neck was pale.

That is the zombie, the weapon most commonly used by Taoists and the best at using it.From the accumulation of knowledge 2000 years ago to the present, the zombies collected by Taoism are even enough to form an army of tens of thousands of zombies, but zombies also need psychics to control them, so limited by the number of psychics, the zombie army or something It can only be fantasy.

After walking for a while, Su Qi and Daohe finally came to the Dajiao Field located in front of the center of Dao City.Behind the Dajiaochang is the real center of Daocheng, the Danyuan Palace where Daoyuan and other high-ranking Taoists live.

As soon as he glanced away, he saw that the flames were shining brightly under the night sky. On the huge school grounds, there were at least 100 boys dancing with knives and guns, screaming with fists and feet, or recruiting their own spirits to practice the possession of the body. Occupying a small field, the scene is in full swing.

"Dao Cheng, why are you here?"

On the sidelines of the school, wearing a dark blue gossip Taoist robe, the Taoist in charge of on-site supervision and guidance was a little surprised to see Su Qi coming in a wheelchair.Because he was injured by Daolian, he was allowed to rest for a period of time, which logically could not be used.

"Master Daoli, Daohe has been ranked last for the second time in a row. Before the next assessment comes, he still wants to work harder."

Dao He took the initiative to step forward to explain, and Su Qi also cooperated very well, showing a frail and determined expression, his eyes shining brightly and said: "That's right, Master Dao Li, I think I can still save it."

It's hopeless, wait for death, farewell...

Knowing Dao Cheng's usual level, the Taoist didn't have any hope at all. He said perfunctorily, "If you work hard, there may still be hope", and then left with his hands behind his hands, without any intention of guiding Su Qi at all.

"Don't worry about it." Daohe glanced at Su Qi, "Actually, I still have some experience in possessing spirit bodies, and there is no problem without his guidance."

"Hmph, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor..." Su Qi stared at Dao Li's back, and said coldly: "Today he loves me and ignores me, but tomorrow I will make him unable to climb up."

"Okay, I still have the mood to talk nonsense. It seems that I don't need to worry about it. Let's go directly to practice."

Afterwards, Dao He pushed Su Qi to a small field in the corner, stood beside him and said, "Let's go, first release your holding spirit."

The latter did as he said, and took off a yellow and white tiger tooth pendant with charms engraved on its surface that was hanging around his neck.This is the psychic medium given to him by the Taoists, and the spirit that was assigned to him is sealed in it.

According to memory, it only needs to inject a certain amount of witch power...

The so-called witch power in the world of Shaman King is essentially the spiritual power of the previous world, but because the laws of the world are different, the names and the displayed effects are different.

Recalling what Daocheng did before, Su Qi easily injected witch power into it, activated the charm, and released the spirit in the tiger tooth pendant.

It was the spiritual body of a Siberian tiger.Its body is nearly three meters long, its tail is about one meter long, and there are narrow black stripes on its light yellow fur. It has a big and round head with a black king character on its forehead. Unruly animal nature.

The vast majority of ordinary people cannot see the spirit body, but in Su Qi's eyes, it is a small will-o'-the-wisp floating out from the tiger's teeth, and then grows from small to large, and suddenly expands into a lively tiger in front of his eyes. It's just that the body is translucent, and you can directly see the scenery on the opposite side.

After the tiger spirit came out, it first shook its head, then propped its forelegs on the ground, pressed its body down, pulled its spine, stretched itself, and then lay lazily on the ground without even looking at Su Qi glance.

Daohe beside him observed while saying: "Obviously, this tiger spirit doesn't regard you as its master at all, you can use it as a possession to try to fit together first."

To rely on the spirit body, first use witch power to completely wrap the holding spirit, compress it into a will-o’-the-wisp state, and then put it into the body to reconcile the consciousness, witch power and spiritual power of the two. Domination, a state where spiritual power and witchcraft do not conflict is considered successful...

Going through the key points of the spirit body possession in Daocheng's memory again, Su Qi turned his gaze to the tiger spirit lying not far in front of him, and said coldly: "Naughty animal, come here!"

The lazy big cat shook its ears, glanced back at him, opened its mouth wide and yawned, then turned its head back.

"That won't work." Daohe shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "Your witchcraft power cannot overwhelm its spiritual power, so you can't control it, you can only communicate with it. Spiritual bodies are very sensitive, and you need to communicate with them calmly until It recognizes you, relies on you, and helps you wholeheartedly, so that your spiritual body can reach the perfect state."

"Don't worry, let me try again."

Su Qi waved his hand, looked at Hu Ling, and shouted coldly again, "The beast is presumptuous! Get the hell out of here!"

While speaking, vast witch power gushed out from the body like a tide, rolling towards the tiger spirit.

"I said this is not okay..."

Dao He frowned slightly, and was about to persuade him again, when he saw the tiger spirit that was lying lazily just now suddenly startled, got up and looked at Su Qi, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying, his hair was flabbergasted, his limbs trembling .The next moment, he whined like a defeated dog, hugged his head and shrank his tail, rolled himself into a ball, and rolled to Su Qi's feet.

Chapter 3 Genius Start

Just... what happened?

Daohe was full of doubts and bewilderment when he saw that the tiger who had been indifferent just now suddenly turned into a licking dog.

It seems that although witchcraft cannot directly interfere with reality, it can affect spirit bodies, and according to the performance in the original book, high-density spirit bodies can materialize and affect reality...that is to say, psychics have a direct impact on reality , Sure enough, you still need to hold a spirit as a medium, or... the spells passed down from ancient times to Ling can also exert some effects?

Looking at a shameful big cat lying at his feet, looking up at him with a flattering expression, Su Qi thought about his current self and his position in this world.

In fact, since he left the yard, he has been watching and testing his own strength without any trace. Until now, he has made a rough judgment.

First of all, the roar of the black fire dragon is a special skill given by the system, so there should be no problem; secondly, the weapon's inverse scale and changing clothes, he can feel that he is in his own exclusive small space, and he can take it out at any time; There are basically no problems with the skills and pseudo-eyes of the sky... and the reason why it is said to be basic is because in this world, dream bubbles seem to have no effect.

When he scolded Tiger Spirit for the first time just now, he secretly used the technique of dream bubbles, trying to frighten him, but the latter didn't respond.He probably also noticed the reason for the failure. It is probably because the laws of the world are different. Although the essence of the soul power has not changed, the manifestation and effect are different, so it is difficult to directly apply the skills of using spiritual power in the previous world in this world. (From here on, Su Qi's spiritual power will be renamed as witch power according to the setting of this world)
