Chapter 576: The Wild God is also a God
Chapter 576: The Wild God is also a God
"Let's have a meeting. We must find a way out of this situation."
Forest.
A bonfire was roasting the prey. Hearing these words, the three priests headed by Zhong Pan put down the barbecue in their hands at the same time and looked at Zhao Duan.
Meeting? This word was not popular in Yu State, but several people inexplicably felt that it was very descriptive.
Zhao Duan sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the three faces seriously:
"According to our previous calculations, even if we use up our remaining teleportation opportunities, we may only have eight hours left...
Well, this is still an overestimation. If we don't think of a way to break this situation during this period, then simply running away will not make much sense."
Yes, there is no point in running away!
This is why Zhao Duan chose to sit down and eat and rest in such a tense situation:
If we can't find the right way to get rid of Xu Jingtang, then racing against time will be useless.
Therefore, the top priority is not to escape immediately.
Instead, calm down, replenish your physical energy, use your brain, and put your energy into thinking.
The three priests were stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant and fell into deep thought.
How to escape from a god's pursuit?
This is undoubtedly a very difficult question. Zhong Pan frowned and used his jade sleeves to think. As for the golden tablet...
The girl was very sleepy. She closed her eyes, held the barbecue in her tender little hands and stuffed it into her mouth. Her neat teeth grunted like a panda eating bamboo. She had completely given up thinking.
Anyway, she felt that she was not good at this, so she might as well not waste her brain cells.
"Perhaps, we can start with the gods," Zhao Duan saw that the others were silent and took the lead in breaking the silence, "I was just wondering, how did Xu Jingtang track us?"
After saying this, he stared at Zhong Pan and Yu Xiu.
Zhao Duan is good at using his brain, but he lacks understanding of the sorcerer system, especially when it comes to gods, so he needs two righteous priests to give answers and work together.
Zhong Pan sat cross-legged on the ground, wrapped in a large black robe. He pondered for a moment and said:
"In my opinion, it should be due to the curse on us. Gods are not omnipotent. Each god has a corresponding range of authority. For example, the water god cannot use fire magic.
Moreover, the death god summoned by Xu Jingtang was only at the level of a celestial being. The spells mastered by the death god were mostly related to curses, and lacked the power to find people, track people, and predict the future. "
The white cuffs of her jade sleeves were stained from running around last night. The beautiful female Taoist priest put down the barbecue, nodded and said seriously:
"Brother, what you said is correct. The most likely possibility is that the Death God can sense the remaining curse on us and roughly know our location, so as to track us. Of course, there is another possibility..."
Zhao Duan asked in confusion: "What's possible?"
"Luck," Yuxiu said with a serious expression, "The spirit of loss can change a person's fortune, you should be well aware of this.
If Xu Jingtang makes our luck worse, then even if he loses our trail and chases us in a random direction, we will meet him with luck... After all, as long as we have bad luck, our escape will not be smooth. "
Ah this... Zhao Duan was stunned with a strange expression.
He really understands this.
Back then in Jianning Prefecture, his fortune had been cursed.
Yuxiu analyzed carefully:
"Also, did you notice? When Xu Jingtang caught up with us just now, he didn't catch up with us, but intercepted us in front."
Zhao Duan thought for a moment and said:
"What the priest means is... if he came here simply because of the curse, he should have been chasing us from behind, but he appeared in front of us. Maybe it was more of an influence of luck?"
Yuxiu nodded.
Zhong Pan added:
"It is indeed possible. However, the possibility of a tracking curse cannot be ruled out. It also makes sense that Xu Jingtang took a shortcut and blocked the way ahead in advance.
Moreover, the induction of the curse should be related to the distance. Every time we teleported away, the distance increased and his induction became blurred. This can also explain why it took him so long to catch up last night."
Zhao Duan nodded, thinking that both guesses were possible, or even both. He concluded:
"In short, no matter which one it is, it is directly related to the curse on us, and Xu Jingtang's judgment of our location may not be particularly accurate. It is just a rough range. The closer we get, the clearer the location may be?"
Both priests nodded, expressing their agreement from a professional perspective.
"Hunk, hunk..." Jin Jian ate up the roe deer leg in his hand like a hamster, and nodded pretentiously:
"Senior brothers and sisters are right!"
Then she stretched out her little hand, grabbed a piece of barbecue that her sleeve had placed on the ground, and continued to eat it stealthily.
Zhao Duan held a branch in his hand to stir the bonfire, scratched it casually on the ground, and said calmly:
"So, theoretically, as long as we remove the curse on us, we can get rid of him?"
Judge Zhong sighed and shook his head.
“The problem is, we can’t!
How can the curse of God be easily dispelled?
That night, I tried to weaken the curse through practice, but the effect was minimal. I estimated that even if I practiced non-stop and weakened it bit by bit, it would take at least half a month to completely erase it."
Even Zhong Pan would need half a month, let alone the others... Zhao Duan frowned and said, "Will the curse disappear on its own?"
This was his experience when he was cursed by the sorcerer of the White Robe Sect when he was in Jianning Prefecture.
Zhong Pan nodded: "Yes. But if the god-level curse is left untreated, it may not be eliminated naturally in half a year. During this period, even if Xu Jingtang dies, it will be the same, because as long as the god is alive, the curse will still exist."
It’s so difficult to deal with... Zhao Duan also felt a headache.
Yu Xiu suddenly said angrily: "If Fourth Junior Brother were here, he might be able to use his dice to cancel the curse."
Fourth Junior Brother? The fourth disciple of the Heavenly Master? Zhao Duan was taken aback when he heard this name unexpectedly.
Seeing Zhao Duan's curious look, Zhong Pan sighed and explained:
"Master's fourth disciple has a valuable talisman, a dice. The dice has different sides, which can bring different fortunes when thrown, and has many other uses.
It is a magical weapon with a status no lower than that of a celestial curse.
If we can cast a good fortune, we will have great luck for a certain period of time, and this good luck can naturally offset the many malicious curses on us."
What kind of weird thing is this... Is there such a strange talisman?
Zhao Duan's eyes lit up: "Can you summon him? Lend me the dice?"
Zhong Pan shook his head and said:
"His whereabouts are erratic, and no one knows where he is. Last year, he cast a spell of bad luck for 49 days. In order to avoid bad luck and death outside, he ran to a place where few people go to take refuge... I haven't seen him since, but I know he is still alive."
He glanced at Yu Xiu again and said calmly:
"Don't count on him. Not to mention the randomness of the dice, even if he can be summoned, given the cursed state we are in now, finding him would only make things worse.
You don’t want to have another layer of bad luck piled on top of bad luck, do you? By then, I’m afraid the curse will explode directly and you will die on the spot.”
Yuxiu snorted and said in annoyance: "I just said it casually."
Shit… Zhao Duan immediately gave up the idea of asking for help and decided to stay away from this priest whom he had never met.
However, Zhao Duan caught a useful piece of information:
"You just said that the dice is of a very high rank and can cover up the curse of the Lost God?"
Zhong Pan nodded and said, "It is said that the talisman should be an ancient creation corresponding to the 'God of Luck'.
Fourth Junior Brother also tried to cultivate this 'God of Luck', but this god is very mysterious, elusive and elusive. Only a very small number of sorcerers throughout the dynasties could resonate with this god... and only gods can fight against gods."
I learned something new... Zhao Duan was not surprised by the strange gods in this world, and his attention was not focused on them.
On the contrary, when he heard the last sentence, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. The branch in his hand suddenly stopped, and he murmured in a low voice:
"Only gods can fight against gods?"
Yu Xiu nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, even if we try to weaken the curse, we will still be using the power of the gods we practice to dilute the power of the Lost God."
Grunt, grunt… After finishing the second piece of barbecue, Jin Jian wiped his mouth and casually agreed: "Senior brothers and sisters are right."
Then, he sneakily stole the barbecue that Zhong Pan had placed next to him.
Zhao Duan seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly asked, "Is the Wild God considered a god?"
what?
At this moment, the three priests were stunned at the same time.
Is the wild god considered a god?
Yu Xiu subconsciously said: "Although the wild gods are much weaker than the orthodox gods and the evil gods, they are also gods born between heaven and earth, so they are naturally gods."
Zhao Duan's heart began to beat hard. He stared at Yu Xiu and suddenly asked a key question:
"If we die, I mean if, we die, will the curse on us still exist?" Yuxiu was confused and shook her head.
“As the saying goes, when a person dies, his or her curse will naturally disappear… Well, but we have to make a careful distinction, to see whether the curse falls on the person’s body or soul.
If the curse is on the body, even if the person's soul dissipates and the person dies completely, leaving only a body, the curse will still exist.
However, a curse as powerful as the Death of the Gods usually affects the soul, and as for us, we should have both kinds of curses."
The truly powerful curses are often aimed directly at the soul, and this is also the most difficult type to remove.
Curses that affect the body, such as "skin ulcers", are much easier to remove.
Last night, Zhang Yanyi's Dharma body blocked this kind of shallow curse, so there were no visible injuries on the bodies of several people.
However, their internal cultivation was locked, which meant that there was also a curse on their bodies. Zhong Pan and Yu Xiu had already confirmed through meditation that both curses existed.
"What do you want to say? Or what have you thought of?" Zhong Pan noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Duan and asked tentatively.
Jin Jian held the stolen barbecue in his hands, resisting the urge to sleep, and tilted his head to look at him.
Zhao Duan met the three people's gazes, pondered for a moment, and said something earth-shattering: "Do you think that the Dragon Girl can cover up the curse of the Lost God?"
Dragon Girl?
At this moment, the three of them suddenly remembered that in the fight last night, Zhao Duan had subdued the Wild Dragon Girl.
Not only the dragon girl, there is also a tiger seal in Zhong Pan's body.
"You want to..." Zhong Pan was surprised.
Zhao Duan didn't hide or evade, stared at the three people, and told them a plan:
“If I control the Dragon Girl and trap the souls of the four of us, including you and myself, in a dream woven by the Dragon Girl, can I use the power of the Dragon Girl to cover, hide, and shield the curse on our souls?
If we lose our soul, does that mean our body is dead?"
Judge Zhong was startled.
Yuxiu looked stunned.
The elbow in Jin Jian's hand fell off...
Use the Dragon Girl to imprison all of them?! To avoid Xu Jingtang's pursuit?
What a bizarre idea! What a weird train of thought! Normal people wouldn't even have time to hide from the Dragon Girl, so how could anyone think of hiding in her dream?
This is completely in the blind spot of the priests' thinking!
Can……
After the initial confusion, Zhong Pan and Yu Xiu fell into deep thought as they considered the possibilities!
Ok?
It seems...it might actually be useful!
Only gods can suppress gods!
The wild god is also a god!
Of course, the power of wild gods like the Dragon Girl is definitely far inferior to that of the God of Death, and they are simply unable to fight against the God of Death head-on.
The power of the Dragon Girl would have almost no effect against Xu Jingtang.
but……
What they have to deal with is not the true body of the God of Death, but just some curses that the God of Death has cast on them!
Once they enter the Dragon Girl's dream and are enveloped by the power of this wild god, the curse may not be dispelled, but there is a high possibility that they will be isolated.
At the same time, although the curse still exists on their bodies, on the one hand... their souls have been extracted, and their bodies will enter a state of suspended death like a "vegetable", and the curse may not be effective.
Secondly, even if the curse on the body still exists, without the power of the curse on the soul, Xu Jingtang's sensitivity to them is likely to weaken!
Moreover, the "bad luck" that Yuxiu was worried about before was actually affecting the soul. Once covered by the wild god, the bad luck would be reduced.
"This... seems..." Yuxiu's eyes sparkled, "It seems that we can give it a try."
Her mind raced:
"The unicorn has its own intelligence. Even without a driver, it can still carry us towards the direction of Zhengyang Mountain. At most, we will need to control the direction and take elixirs to fast when our spirits return to our bodies occasionally...
The unicorn was not in Baishi Garden last night, and it was not cursed..."
Zhong Pan was also breathing rapidly. He couldn't help but raise his hand to press his arm, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't subdue the mountain king, and I can't drive it."
No... a wild tiger god, even if it can be driven, is of no use. We can't let the tiger eat our bodies and swallow them into its stomach... Zhao Duan complained crazily.
The three of them thought about it carefully and discussed it for a long time, and they all felt that this method was worth a try.
Anyway, they still have one chance to teleport, and they have the money to try and error!
At that moment, the three of them did not delay any longer. They quickly put out the campfire, dragged Jin Jian, who was full and even more sleepy, and got into the carriage together.
Zhong Pan lay beside the unicorn's ear, whispering something to it and telling it which direction to go.
As for the safety of the souls of the few people after entering the Dream Tower, there is no need to worry too much.
Firstly, a running carriage is invisible, and it is impossible to get on it under the mundane state.
Secondly, even if Zhao Duan drives the Dragon Girl, he will not completely lose his sensitivity to the outside world.
inside the carriage.
Zhao Duan glanced at Jin Jian, who was hugging her knees and almost falling asleep, and then looked at Yu Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. He waited for Zhong Pan to get into the carriage and lower the curtain.
"Get ready." He took a deep breath, spread out his right hand and grasped. Buddha's light appeared in his palm and a green lotus swayed.
In the center of the lotus, a thumb-sized, transparent dragon girl with visible blood vessels and internal organs slowly emerged. At Zhao Duan's call, she raised her little face and looked with cold eyes at the four pairs of eyes surrounding the lotus.
Their eyes met.
"Clap."
The four of them closed their eyes at the same time, as if they were dead.
At the same time, the unicorn, which had rested, shook its tail, neighed, and pulled the carriage into the illusory state again, galloping towards Zhengyang Mountain at lightning speed.
……
……
Far away.
In a mountain forest, Xu Jingtang was in a furious state with a gloomy face, flying with the power of the God of Death.
Relying on the connection between the God of Death and the curse, he could vaguely sense the location of Zhao Duan and others.
In addition, "fortune" will also make the skills of both parties meet by coincidence.
"You can't run away." Xu Jingtang's eyes were red and his murderous intent was boiling.
Although he was puzzled, he roughly guessed that the other party was fleeing towards Yunfu.
"Do you want to do the opposite and think it will be safer to go towards my base camp?" Xu Jingtang sneered.
If this group of people ran to the north, he would still hesitate, but there was a road to heaven but they chose to go back to their own nest. Isn't that extremely stupid?
Suddenly, Xu Jingtang let out a light exclamation, and felt that his sense of the curse suddenly disappeared for the most part, and he almost lost the sense of Zhao Duan and his group!
Only a vague remnant remained, but it made his pursuit even more difficult.
"What's going on? Has the curse been lifted? Impossible..." Xu Jingtang didn't understand.
If there really was a way to lift the curse, why was there still a little bit left that allowed him to barely determine the approximate direction?
Do not understand.
But he had already chased so far that it was impossible for him to turn back to Jingchuan Town, so he could only continue chasing.
"Zhao Duan, I will chop off your head with my own hands!"
Xu Jingtang's eyes were fierce. He no longer hesitated and continued to chase towards Yunfu.
……
ps: This is a bit watery, Xu Jingtang will die in the next chapter.
