The Great Sorcerer

The author has something to say: There is a problem with the Internet at Nima’s home. Every time I go to the Jinjiang website, it shows that there is a problem, and I can’t post the article... Please forgive me for delaying the update!

When the sky was dim, Canaan and Hai Huan quietly left the barracks with their bags on their backs.As they headed west, the morning sun slowly tore through the mist behind them, and the turquoise fields in front of them shone with a layer of dewy jewels.

Hai Huan summoned his barge.It was a pure white fairy beast, in the shape of a tall and strong horse, but it was more than twice as big as an ordinary horse.The snow-white mane is flowing and smooth, and the powerful muscles are dormant quietly. The four silver hooves are as big as the mouth of a bowl, and a sharp silver horn grows from the forehead. Under that tranquility hides a ferocious killing intent.

Hai Huan said, "It's a long way to go, let's ride a horse." Then he jumped on the horse first, and stretched out his hand to Canaan, who was staring at him stupidly, "Come up."

Canaan immediately felt hot on his face and his heart was beating like a drum.He stretched out his hand, and with Hai Huan's strength, he rolled over behind Hai Huan and sat down, but he didn't know where to put his hand in a panic.Hai Huan pulled up the rein and turned his face slightly, "Hold on to me, or I will be thrown off."

After getting approval, Canaan tentatively put his hand on Hai Huan's waist, but he was careful not to be too presumptuous.Seeing that Hai Huan didn't respond, he hugged her tightly.

Hai Huan yelled, and the barge immediately neighed, raised its front hooves, and almost stood up.Canaan was so frightened that his whole body hung on Hai Huan.Immediately afterwards, the horse's hind legs exerted force, and the muscles swelled, and they rushed out like the wind.

The barge horse was indeed a fairy beast. It ran with all four hooves into the air, light and fast, and passed the grassland silently.The surrounding scenery was blurred into a ball, and it was too late to see anything clearly.What can be seen clearly is the thin but broad and resolute shoulders in front of him, and the heartbeat full of life, soaking his body bit by bit with the body temperature of the other party.

Because the speed of the barge horse was too fast, they traveled quickly for a day and a night, and they were already out of the range of Qingqiu.At sunset, puddles gradually began to appear in front of the bushes, and the air gradually became moist and sticky.After passing Qingqiu, several cities have already been occupied by the Yu people, and the one that has not been occupied yet and is the closest to the Zhuolu Field is Wuyan City.That city is deep in the swamp, desolate and remote, sparsely populated, it is not an attractive place for Yuren.

Hai Huan looked at the sky, "There are many poisonous insects in the swamp, it's too unsafe to drive at night. Let's rest here for the night."

Canaan nodded obediently and followed Hai Huan off the horse.The air around here is too humid to even conjure up a fire.Hai Huan used the blessing technique to put a layer of protection on the two of them, so that they would not catch a cold due to the damp and cold air.Canaan took out two fires from his bag and handed one to Hai Huan.

The two barely spoke.Hai Huan was always doing things in silence, while Canaan sometimes watched Hai Huan doing things, and sometimes pondered over the iron box in his backpack in a daze.Salo's words before he left were still circling in his mind.What should I do about this?If the wizard is really lonely, will he really find himself?

Salo would not lie to him.So far, Salo has been helping him every time.As the young master of the guardian family of the Demon Town Tower, this news should be accurate.

If you use the forbidden technique as he said... then it violates the first of the ten prohibitions. If you are found out, you will definitely be banned from the Wuxian clan!What's more, it takes talent to learn the forbidden art... Although he once performed a blood contract for Ah Shuang, an awesome monster, it was only a flash in the pan, and he was never able to reproduce that time. glorious...

Thinking wildly like this, the sky gradually dimmed.Hai Huan said to Canaan, "Go to sleep, I'm not sleepy." The subtext of this sentence is that he will keep watch at night, so that Canaan can rest assured to sleep.Canaan was really sleepy and tired at this time, so he didn't argue with Hai Huan, and said "Call me in the middle of the night, I'll replace you" and fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk.

However, when he slept until midnight, Canaan was woken up by Hai Huan.He thought it was his turn to watch the night, he opened his eyes vaguely and asked, "Is it my turn?"However, Hai Huan made a "shh" gesture to him, and then whispered, "Listen carefully."

It was completely dark by this time.Black clouds hung low over the wilderness, and there was no trace of stars and moons.The reeds around shook occasionally, and the sound of frogs croaked one after another.However, amidst this natural sound, there was a faint human-like cry floating in the air.

Canaan froze for a moment, his drowsiness disappeared, and he looked at Hai Huan inexplicably.

Hai Huan said, "It seems that someone is calling for help."

It was indeed a shrill cry, but it was weak and misty due to the distance. In this silent night, it was like the cry of a wronged soul, which made people tremble.In this vast swamp, in the middle of the night, there are no villages or shops behind, so where can there be people?

Goosebumps arose all over Canaan's body, "Should...could it be something unclean..."

Hai Huan frowned, "I've listened to it for a while, and it really sounds like a human voice. It shouldn't be a monster or a spirit beast..."

"Then...shall we go and have a look?"

Hai Huan thought for a while, "It's better not to add extra complications."

"But what if someone is really in danger?"

"If you want to go, I will accompany you to have a look."

To be honest, Canaan didn't want to go either, but he put himself in the situation and thought about it, dying in such a desolate place, being forgotten by the whole world, with no one to bury his body, it was really desolate.Just like in the underground palace a few days ago when they strayed into the Gu Eagle's lair, the feeling of being on the verge of death faded away.

So the two of them walked cautiously along the road winding through the swamp.The weeds and reeds on both sides spread, and bubbles bubbled up from the accumulated dark green puddles from time to time, and the dull-colored toads squatted in the gaps between the stones and stared at strange humans.This area is extremely dangerous, and there is a possibility of falling into the swamp at any time.Due to the humid and hot climate, there are many poisonous insects and poisonous substances, and it is said that there are some vicious spirit beasts living in this generation, so it is really not a place suitable for human beings to live in.I don't understand why the residents of Wuyan City have lived here for generations.

Hai Huan used the technique of blessing to enhance the hearing and eyesight of the two, and searched in the swamp.Finally, when I was going somewhere in the west, I found that the voice became clearer.They used branches to explore the way, pushed aside the reeds that were half a person tall, and sneaked with difficulty.

Suddenly, the reeds in front suddenly became sparse, and a large piece of mud covered with lichen and moss appeared.In the dark blue night, the strangely flat ground was densely covered with slender and wriggling things, layer upon layer, and the scales rubbed against each other, like a bunch of tangled threads, which made people feel overwhelmed. The body is cold.When you look carefully, those slender things are all poisonous snakes!They hissed and spit out the letter, raised their upper bodies, and flocked to the center of the open space together.

And there were actually two people screaming and struggling in the middle.They are already covered with poisonous snakes, and they seem to be in unbearable pain, rolling all over the floor trying to get rid of the ubiquitous insidious animals.Wherever they passed, the snakes were crushed one after another, but they were still entangled around those two people one after another!

Canaan was stunned by the tragic scene in front of him.The densely packed snakes made his hair stand on end.In the middle of the night, how could there be so many snakes appearing at the same time, and how did those two people end up in this situation.

Canaan wanted to run away, but because he was too scared, his legs became weak and he couldn't move at all.

Hai Huan lowered his body, poked his head forward to observe, and said to himself, "It's weird, why are there so many baby snakes?"

"Ah?? Snake??"

The Ba snake is a very terrifying poisonous snake in the legend.It is more than 200 meters long, with a blue head and a black body.It is so cruel and ferocious that even an elephant can swallow it into its stomach, and it takes three years to digest it before excreting the elephant bone.Later, it was beheaded by a hero named Yi because it was too rampant in killing and rebelling.However, it was not all dead, because it was later seen near Baling.

Ba snake's young snake, as the name suggests, is the offspring of Ba snake.They have green heads and black scales similar to those of the Ba snake, and the teeth are highly poisonous. Legend has it that even the skin will melt if touched.When Canaan took a closer look, he found that the poisonous snakes did fit the description of the young bar snake.But if there are young snakes around here, then Ba snake should not be far away...

Thinking about it this way, the swamp was more dangerous than they imagined.

"What to do, how can we save them?"

Hai Huan's face was tense, and he seemed unsure, "If you hurt the young snake, it may attract the Ba snake, and then you will be in trouble..."

"Then... then shall we run like this?"

Hai Huan was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No matter what, I should give those two people a good time."

If he was poisoned by the Ba snake, if he couldn't die immediately, he would be tortured by the snake venom day in and day out. Watching his skin fester inch by inch, his internal organs melt bit by bit, and finally turn into puddles of pus to die in pain, the whole process was extremely painful.And the two of them had already been entangled with so many young snakes, it was probably hopeless.

When Canaan heard Hai Huan's plan, his eyeballs almost fell out, "Are you going to kill them?"

"That's right." Hai Huan said, raised his staff and recited the incantation of the technique of blessing.That mantra was the mantra that was used on Yu Qilin when Canaan was saved, and it has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, and calming the killing intent.The recipient will feel that his heart is clear and clear, and the original restlessness and anger will be calmed down.

After he finished reading, he drew a complicated character in the air, then shouted and pointed forward.The character suddenly bloomed like a golden firework, scattered into countless light spots and landed among the snakes.Sure enough, many snakes became pliable and no longer struggled to squeeze in the middle.However, the number of snakes he hit was limited after all, and the other snakes were disturbed, and they all paid attention to their side.Immediately, a large number of snakes turned around and began to crawl towards them quickly, their venomous hissing sound almost reached my ears!

Hai Huan's family pulled Canaan behind him, and made a seal with their hands on their chests. Suddenly, a golden barrier surrounded him and Canaan.Canaan was dumbfounded, isn't this an enchantment technique?How did Hai Huan even become a master of world formation?

The group of snakes surrounded them outside the barrier, staring at them with dark eyes with malicious intentions.They began to collide with the enchantment.Although their collision will not cause too much threat to the barrier at first, they are spirit beasts after all, and they will cause damage to the barrier in the long run.What's more, if they passed this message to Ba Snake, they probably would have no way out.

Canaan was so anxious that he said to Hai Huan, "How about I call my nine-tailed fox to help?"

But Hai Huan replied resolutely, "No need."

"But there are too many snakes! There are no resources available around here, so I can't help you!"

Hai Huan said, "You don't need to help me. Just stay behind me obediently."

although

These words sounded low-key and domineering, and sounded very secure.But after all, a boy who only knows to hide behind another boy when he is in danger is so useless, even Canaan can't forgive himself.So he began to meditate, trying to find the power of nature that he could use.

He went deep into his consciousness layer by layer, searching for the spiritual power in the swamp layer by layer.All of a sudden, he seemed to feel some huge spiritual power surrounding them.That force is composed of countless small forces, a close organization composed of individuals, just like the cells that make up the brain, the division of labor is clear and the shape is huge.When you look closely, it is actually a gigantic snake.It stands majestically, with only an illusory golden shadow, and Canaan is as small as a toothpick in front of it.

Canaan suddenly understood that this was what the young snakes' spiritual power looked like after they were combined.Although they seem to be scattered, they actually have some internal connection.The combination of their mental powers looks like a snake!

After finding these spiritual powers, Canaan suddenly sensed the consciousness of those young snakes.He could feel their greed and bloodlust, their desire to kill and devour.However, the desire was so intense that it was abnormal, as if it was being controlled by someone.

Canaan also didn't understand how he could find the other party's spiritual power so easily, and perceive the other party's consciousness and emotional fluctuations so easily.Even many people who practice charms have to practice for years and months to do so.

So Canaan commanded those mental powers in the depths of his consciousness, "Leave immediately!"

At first, the spirits of those young snakes ignored him at all, and instead became more irritable.But Canaan, in his meditative state, was strangely unafraid.In fact, at that time, due to entering deep meditation, he had already separated from his daily self that was somewhat submissive.Now he has forgotten who he is, acting completely according to a gradually rising anger in his instinct.He suddenly became angry and yelled, "If you brave spirit beasts don't leave, I will definitely make your souls fly away, and there will be no redemption!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the depths of the consciousness suddenly shook violently, and the entire consciousness space seemed to be shaken by his anger.Canaan's spirit body opened its hands, its eyes were piercing, staring at the huge snake spirit like a Shura.In an instant, the mighty giant snake spirit suddenly began to stir, and the thousands of young snake spirits that made up the giant snake collapsed in an instant!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Canaan's self-awareness reunited, and he broke free from deep meditation, but happened to see the young snake that was hovering outside the barrier was running away in a hurry, as if it was frightened by something.

It's like this again... It's similar to the situation in the Gu Eagle's lair last time...

Canaan was dumbfounded, turned to see Hai Huan, but saw that Hai Huan was also surprised.Hai Huan hadn't seen those gu carvings running away in the gu carving's lair last time, so it was the first time he saw such a situation.

"you……"

Hai Huan only had time to say a word when he was suddenly attracted by the screams of the two men who were besieged by snakes.

Canaan and Hai Huan hurriedly gathered around the two of them.The two men were twitching on the ground, their faces were blue, and they looked like they were in pain.They opened their cloudy eyeballs, their eyes protruding as if they were suffocated, and they stretched out their hands to Canaan and Haihuan, with gurgling noises from their throats.The dying expression looked so terrifying that Canaan couldn't help but took two steps back.

Hai Huan frowned deeply, and finally stretched out his hands, placed his palms on the foreheads of the two, and chanted the mantra in a low voice.Not long after, a cloud of misty white light radiated from his palm, and the expressions of the two people gradually became calm and serene.After a while, the two breathed out their last breath, and died like falling asleep.

Canaan stared blankly, and came back to his senses after a while.This was the first time he watched a living person die in front of his eyes.The pain and despair on their faces from before still lingered in his mind, and the horror of that sent chills down his spine.It's one thing to know death conceptually, but quite another to see it happen.At this moment, he felt a certain kind of dazed and ubiquitous fear, and his words seemed pale in front of it.

If Hai Huan hadn't used the blessing technique to send them on their final journey, how scared and resentful would they be when they were dying?

The two looked to be in their twenties, wearing white monk robes, with dark green fringe on the placket and wide cuffs, a string of glass and stone rosary beads hanging on their chests, and four feathered wings. Silver engraving.

Hai Huan suddenly reached out and untied the clothes of the two men, and turned their bodies over.A pair of light yellow feathers stood out on their blue backs.

"It's Yuren's attendant." Hai Huan said.

This was the first time Canaan saw Yuren.It is said that they have wings bestowed by the Western Emperor Shaohao on their backs, which are usually kept in their backs, leaving only a few long feathers at the tip of the wings outside. When needed, they will spread their wings and rush to the sky.

"Why did these two feathered monks suddenly appear here?" Hai Huan muttered to himself, "Could it be that Wuyan City has already been occupied?"

"But even if it is occupied, it should be the soldiers who appeared around here. How could there be monks? Could it be that they brought the monks to save the souls of the dead when they marched and fought?" Canaan asked foolishly.

Hai Huan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "This is an opportunity."

Canaan didn't understand all of a sudden, "What opportunity?"

"We originally wanted to disguise ourselves as acolytes and sneak into Yuren's Great Wilderness Temple. Now that there are two ready-made acolytes here, we can pretend to be them."

"But how do we pretend? They are feathered people, we can't fly, and we don't look like them?"

"It's very simple, just use Transfiguration."

"Transfiguration? But Hanshang and the others don't know where they are now."

"You don't have to wait for them." Hai Huan said, laying the bodies of the two men on the ground, then knelt down beside one of them, bit his finger, and wrote a long string of curly runes on the man's forehead , then pulled out the dagger hidden in the boot shaft and cut off a small section of the man's hair, put it in his palm, chanted the mantra in a low voice, put the lock of hair into the wooden bowl they carried with them, and gave it to him again. Pour clear water into the bowl, drip his own blood into it, and then he raised his head and drank the contents of the bowl.

Then something strange happened, and Hai Huan's handsome face gradually began to change slightly.The originally slender Danfeng eyes became narrower, the bridge of the nose slightly wider, the lips became thinner, and the shape of the face became rounder.It's just these subtle changes that combine to form a completely unfamiliar face.

Canaan was dumbfounded, why did Hai Huan even know how to transfigure?Didn't he only learn Summoning and Blessing and Curse?Just now he used the enchantment technique, but now he even used the transformation technique, is he omnipotent?When did you learn it?

Hai Huan looked at Canaan with the eyes of the dead person on the ground, and the most frightening thing was that even his voice changed, "This transformation lasts for one day, and the internal organs and skin will become exactly the same as that person , will definitely not be seen through, but you have to eat part of this person's body every day to maintain it, so we have to bring enough hair."

Canaan had a bitter face, "Do you have to eat this man's hair? It's disgusting..."

"This is the best part. If you want to eat elsewhere, I have no objection."

Canaan shut up, and obediently watched Hai Huan cut off another person's hair according to the steps just now, and put it in a wooden bowl. Canaan bit his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into it to drink.First, I felt a tingling sensation that spread along the internal organs, and finally spread to the skin, as if there were many ants crawling under the skin.After a while, the itchy feeling gradually disappeared, and he found that the skin on his hands seemed to be more rosy than before, and he kept silent on his face, but he always felt that the touch was strange, and it didn't seem like he was touching his face. Same.

They changed into the clothes of the two acolytes, and found two name tags in their skirts, with their names probably engraved on them.Haihuan's nameplate is "Lianchen", while Canaan's is "Leju", and the words "Chuguo Acolyte" are engraved on the back of the plates.According to the religious tradition of Yumin Kingdom, there are nine levels of acolytes.The highest rank is Wuxiang Attendant. There are only six people in the whole kingdom, and their status is second only to the left and right sages.The first fruit acolyte is the fifth level, not too high grade, but not a small one.This kind of taste is very beneficial to Hai Huan and Canaan. It will not attract too much attention, and they will have the opportunity to get in touch with the upper-level acolytes, so they will have more chances to meet their targets.

Hai Huan and Canaan sank the bodies of those two people into the mud, watched them disappear into the mud little by little, leaving no trace in this world.

They continued to rush to Wuyan City.If Hai Huan guessed correctly, Wuyan City must have been occupied by the Yuren by now.These two Featherman acolytes couldn't have come out of nowhere, they must have a purpose for wandering around in such a dangerous swamp in the middle of the night.

At dawn they saw the walls of Wuyan City.This is a small city. Due to its remote location, the city wall has been in disrepair for a long time, and it looks mottled and almost crumbling.When Hai Huan and Canaan entered the city, they found that the guards at the city gate were indeed feathered soldiers, but all the people coming and going at the gate were feathered men dressed as monks.The whole city seemed to be under the control of the Yuren monks, and only those who were captured by the Yuren as laborers were pushing carts of grain and grass on the streets.

There must be something wrong with so many feathered acolytes popping up in such a remote town without any strategic significance.

Canaan and the others were thinking about how to proceed next, but they saw a young feathered monk walking towards them, clasped his hands together and saluted, "Masters, Your Majesty Ziyou has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

His posture is dignified and rigorous, and his every move is very respectful and modest. He seems casual, but he is so rigorous that every angle seems to be designed. He is obviously not tall, but he exudes an indescribable aura. People can't help but restrain themselves.This is the solemnity of feathered monks. In the human country where the belief in the Great Wilderness Sect has gradually declined, it is rare to see such a monk.

But seeing Hai Huan returning the salute to him, his posture was neither humble nor overbearing, it was completely natural, "Thank you for your hard work, Master. Please guide the way."

Canaan couldn't help worshiping Hai Huan more and more in his heart. He is not only omnipotent, but also a natural actor!

The two of them followed the acolyte to the mansion that looked like the city lord's mansion. The gate was heavily guarded and heavily guarded. It seemed that the identity of the people inside must be extraordinary.

The two were ushered into the main hall, and they waited in the hall for a while before seeing a tall monk stepping out of the back hall.His hair is gray and his face is handsome but slightly weathered. Although the color of the monk's robe on his body is plain, but the gems inlaid on the cuffs of the skirt and the texture of the silk cut by the group of blue and dark flowers snow silkworms, one can tell that this person is definitely not an ordinary servant. monk.Looking again, the rosary hanging on his chest was adorned with nine pieces of silver feather pendants, so he guessed that this person was the most senior Wuxiang acolyte?

However, Canaan naturally has no sense of these details.He only felt that the walking posture of this master monk was very smooth and elegant, with almost no ups and downs. Moreover, he put his hands in his sleeves, and his wide sleeves bulged to the sides with the wind blowing when he walked, and his posture of raising his head and chest was very Noble, although he had a smile on his face and was quite kind, but the posture revealed in his every move was so awe-inspiring that no one dared to neglect him in the slightest.Just watching him walk in, turn around to them, and smile with his chin slightly lifted is already convincing.

Is this the posture of a practitioner who has escaped from the world?

Hai Huan imitated the appearance of an acolyte, folded his hands in front of his chest, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and his gaze fell softly about three steps in front of his feet.And Canaan stood half a step behind Hai Huan, imitating his movements and saluting.Canaan was extremely nervous. After all, they were counterfeit. If they were exposed, I really don't know what would happen.But looking at Hai Huan's natural and confident movements in front of him, he felt a little more at ease. No matter what, Hai Huan will have a way to deal with it...

"I've seen you." (Note, Xia is the respectful title given to eminent monks by disciples in the Sangha)

The Wuxiang monk named Ziyou also clasped his palms together and saluted them, "Two masters, is this trip going well?"

Canaan's heart skipped a beat.How to answer this?He didn't even know what those two men were going to do in the swamp in the middle of the night.

I only heard Hai Huan answer, "This time when I went out, I accidentally encountered the siege of a Ba snake and a young snake. The two poor monks were lucky enough to escape. Seeing that the sky was already bright, they planned to come back first to return to their orders. I will wait for the entrustment of my lord, please come punishment."

Ziyou raised a hand, "Master Lian Chen, don't blame yourself. It will not take a moment to find Cheng Yingjian. It's just that there are such evil things as snakes in this swamp?"

Hai Huan replied, "The poor monk is also very puzzled by this matter."

But Ziyou sighed, "I think it's because the evil energy of the demon god couldn't be suppressed anymore, and leaked out, attracting these evil things. The two masters worked hard all night, let's rest first. This place is dangerous, what should we do next? Poor monk, think again."
