Chapter 22: Give advice to Xiaobai?
"Young master?" Xiaobai called softly.
No one responded.
Xiaobai knew that Xu Xian would not respond to her because she heard Xu Xian's footsteps leaving the yard.
The reason she shouted was because she felt guilty.
She threw back the covers and walked to the table.
The Buddhist mantra on the talisman was stimulated by the evil spirit and flew into the air, forming a huge "卍" character and hitting Xiaobai's forehead.
Xiaobai raised his hand cautiously and clapped his hands hard!
Snapped!
The "卍" character shattered into pieces and turned into golden spots of light, which shattered one after another.
However, Xiaobai's expression did not relax.
She raised her hand in front of her and saw a red mark on her palm, right where it had touched the "卍" character.
Just one talisman has such power
Xiaobai looked worried.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house.
Xiaobai moved his ears.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" The voice entered the room before the person did. The next second, Xiaoqing pushed the door open.
She was stunned when she saw Xiaobai standing there intact.
"Close the door." Xiaobai said softly.
Xiaoqing's expression straightened up.
She closed the door with her backhand, then quickly moved to Xiaobai's side.
"Sister, are you okay?"
As she finished speaking, she noticed the talisman on the wooden table and asked in surprise, "Is this the talisman that Bald Donkey gave to Xu Xian?"
Xiaobai nodded gently: "Where is Xu Xian?"
"Xu Xian said that you were dizzy and had palpitations. The house was missing a medicine, so he went to the pharmacy to buy it. He won't be back for a while." Xiao Qing stared at the talisman on the table intently.
"Ah!" Xiaoqing suddenly cried out and raised her hand to slap the air.
Xiaobai blinked.
"What the hell is that? That bald guy is really good!" Xiaoqing shook her hands in disgust, as if there was something dirty on her hands.
Apparently, she was also hit by the "卍" character.
"Fahai is the abbot of Jinshan Temple. He has thousands of monks under him, so he must be quite capable." Xiaobai pursed his lips, worry about the future in the corners of his eyes.
She knew that Fahai was not someone who was easy to get along with.
Although she is quite skilled in Taoism, she has no master and is unlikely to be able to compete with leading figures of the righteous path like Fahai.
"Don't worry, sister."
Xiao Qing raised her chin and said confidently, "If we sisters join forces, we can definitely beat that bald donkey to a pulp!"
"Yeah." Xiaobai nodded slightly.
She may not be a match for Fahai alone, but with Xiaoqing, her chances of winning are much greater.
She whispered, "Please help me get rid of this talisman first."
"Why not just burn it?" Xiao Qing said nonchalantly, "No matter how powerful the talisman is, it is afraid of fire!"
She turned to get the candle.
Xiaobai hurriedly held her back and said, "No, this talisman was given to Xu Xian by Fahai to ward off demons. If Xu Xian comes back and finds that the talisman is missing, he will definitely suspect me."
"What should we do then?" Xiaoqing looked distressed.
She is the worst at coming up with solutions.
"Talismans are more fragile than magic tools. As long as the magic lines on the talisman paper can be destroyed, the talisman paper will be rendered ineffective."
Xiaobai said softly, "Go and guard the door. If Xu Xian comes back, remind me."
"Okay." Xiaoqing turned around and guarded the door.
Xiaobai stared at Fahai's talisman.
She squeezed a drop of blood from her fingertips and pressed it against the stripes on the talisman.
hum!
Suddenly, the room was filled with golden light.
Xiaoqing hurriedly cast a spell to seal the doors and windows of the house, trapping the golden light inside the house.
As time passed, the golden light in the room gradually dimmed.
"Sister, Xu Xian is about to enter the alley."
"Are you okay?"
Xiaoqing asked anxiously. Inside the house, Xiaobai's face was a little pale.
She was careless.
Defeating the "卍" character was too easy, so she underestimated the talisman.
This talisman is not for killing demons.
Its fundamental function is to prevent monsters from touching the person wearing the talisman.
Now when Xiaobai wants to touch the talisman itself, he encounters even greater resistance, just like pushing a thousand-pound cauldron with one finger.
It’s even more difficult!
"Xiaoqing, help me!" Xiaobai said with difficulty.
If she wanted to destroy the talisman, she had many easy ways.
However, to erase the function of the talisman while preserving the talisman itself is more difficult than carving a nine-story building on a grain of rice and is extremely laborious.
Xiaoqing heard the sound and quickly ran into the house.
She was shocked when she saw the stalemate between Xiaobai and the talisman.
How could this be?
"I'm coming, sis!"
Xiaoqing ran behind Xiaobai and put a hand on Xiaobai's shoulder.
With the fusion of demonic powers, Xiaobai's power increased greatly!
She pressed hard, and her finger poked through the invisible barrier and touched the lines on the talisman.
Buzz! The golden light dissipated.
It was finally over, Xiaobai was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.
But when she heard footsteps outside the yard, she didn't even dare to take a deep breath and immediately went back to bed.
The movements were so fast, as if they were running at four times the speed.
Xiaoqing:.
Creak—Xu Xian pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bag of medicine in his hand.
"Xiaobai, are you okay?" Xu Xian asked.
He glanced at the talisman on the table.
The form is gathered but the spirit is scattered, it is useless.
In a quarter of an hour at most, this talisman will become a complete fake and can only serve as a psychological comfort.
What is rare is that the appearance of the talisman has remained basically unchanged.
After this period of time, he can sell the talisman to a wealthy person who is interested and make a reasonable profit.
"I'm still the same as before," Xiao Bai said pitifully, "dizzy."
This time she was really dizzy.
Xu Xian walked quickly to the bedside. He held Xiaobai's wrist. It seemed like he was taking her pulse, but it was actually an imperceptible detection spell.
It's nothing serious, just excessive mental exertion.
"It's nothing serious." Xu Xian paused, "I went to Heshun Hall to buy some medicine. After you drink the medicine and have a good sleep, you will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."
After saying that, he got up and boiled the medicine.
Xu Xian frowned.
He is so exhausted just by dealing with a talisman. If Fahai really comes, won’t Xiaobai die on the spot?
This is not okay
He supported Fahai in conquering the demon, but he didn't want Fahai to beat Xiaobai to death in two blows.
After all, Xiaobai treats him sincerely.
He could accept Fahai driving Xiaobai away, which would not only save Xiaobai's life but also settle his karma.
Gumbling--
The medicinal soup in the earthenware jar began to boil.
The tumbling bubbles exhaled a bitter medicinal smell, which instantly filled the entire room.
Xu Xian stood up and opened the window for ventilation.
He pursed his lips and thought, should I give Xiaobai some pointers?
If Xiaobai could learn one of his sword skills, he would be able to protect himself, even if he couldn't kill Fahai on the spot.
but
He has never taught any disciples and lacks experience.
If you teach the wrong way, not only will the newbie not learn well, but he will also lose his original skills, which would be more of a help than a help.
What should I do? Xu Xian pondered.
"Xu Xian, when will your medicine be ready?" An impatient voice sounded from behind him.
Turning around, Xu Xian saw Xiaoqing standing beside the earthenware pot where the medicine was boiled. She was stirring the pot with a spoon, stirring the medicine residue that had sunk to the bottom to the top.
