There were only a few people doing morning exercises in the community. When Jing Cheng was demonstrating Tai Chi, everyone gathered together to watch.
So even though Jing Cheng's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly because they were close.
The group of middle-aged and elderly people who were watching heard him suddenly say loudly "serious" and were wondering why the child was so startled. Unexpectedly, the next second they saw the old man who was chatting with others in high spirits just now suddenly change his face and fall down with his head down.
Everyone was horrified and ran towards the old man.
"Old man Xu?!"
"What's going on? Call 120!"
"This old man usually looks very energetic, how come he collapsed so suddenly? Sigh!"
"Oh! If you live to our age, you will become an immortal. Life and death are not a big deal. Don't worry! Does anyone have the phone number of the Xu family kid?"
"Why not? He was fine just now! I'll call my fourth son and ask him how to do first aid. He's a doctor and knows a lot!"
…
...
...
Some elderly people have taken out their reading glasses, squinted their eyes to look at their mobile phones and prepare to dial a number, but more people are at a loss and anxious.
So the already chaotic scene became even more chaotic because everyone was hurriedly gathered together.
"Don't worry, let me try!"
Jing Cheng was surprised for a moment and then calmed down. However, seeing how anxious they all were, he couldn't help but speak.
In fact, Jing Cheng caught the old man before he fell to the ground. His arm strength was amazing, and the weight of nearly 150 kilograms seemed light as a feather in his hands. He grabbed the old man's neck with just one hand and laid his body flat on the ground.
Under normal circumstances, people would definitely be surprised at Jing Cheng's great strength, because although Old Xu is old, he is not short, and Jing Cheng is thin and weak, and his legs look not even as thick as his arms.
However, everyone's attention was now occupied by the old man who suddenly fainted, and no one noticed this.
Jing Cheng half-knelt on the ground, laid the old man flat, and then reached into his trouser pocket. Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying amulets with him, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone when he was about to take it out.
"Don't mess around here, kid!"
The man glared at him, with a look on his face that said "You are so old but still don't understand."
Jing Cheng: ???
After hearing Jing Cheng's words, everyone did not let him do what Jing Cheng had expected. Instead, they stepped forward to stop him.
"What are you still doing here?"
"Human lives are at stake! You're still messing around here!"
"Try what? Can I just give it to you to try?"
Jing Cheng was completely speechless when he heard them saying "You are fooling around" and "Children should stay out of adult matters" one after another, and they were trying to pull him away one by one.
He did not waste time explaining, but directly placed the amulet folded into a triangle on the old man's chest, and chanted a spell with a solemn look: "There are generals in the sky, and there are gods on the earth! Your magic is one foot higher, and mine is ten feet higher. I obey the command of the Supreme Lord Laozi!"
The middle-aged and elderly people watching: …………
Just now, they tried to pull Jing Cheng, who was squatting on the ground, but couldn't move him. They were still wondering why this kid looked so light and why they couldn't move him even when they worked together?
What’s even more infuriating is that he still sat there calmly, without even a hair out of place. This is too unreasonable!
Just when everyone didn't know what to do with this "little scoundrel", they didn't expect him to suddenly do this.
"What nonsense!" an old man in a beige Tang suit shouted angrily, "Hurry up and pull him up! What a shame!"
"Who can pull this?"
"I almost sprained my back just now!"
This kid is too weird! Everyone was thinking in their hearts.
He was demonstrating Tai Chi to them with great energy just now, how come he suddenly had problems with his brain?
Everyone looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Jing Cheng ignored the strange looks of others. After he finished reciting the spell, he quickly snapped his fingers and hammered the old man hard on the chest.
At the same time, he whispered, "Wake up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Xu, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly twitched, coughed, and opened his eyes.
The onlookers were suddenly in an uproar.
When Old Xu was lying on the ground just now, his face was gloomy and he looked like he was about to die. After the child chanted a few mysterious words, his face looked visibly better and he opened his eyes in an instant, as if he had come back to life.
Everyone saw this instantaneous change and they were all shocked.
Jing Cheng helped the old man up, glanced at them indifferently, and said nothing.
"..." The elderly group suddenly felt embarrassed. Was the kid's expression mocking them?
Old Xu had just woken up and hadn't realized what had happened to him. When he came to his senses, he found that everyone had gathered around him, marveling at him as if they were looking at some rare object.
Especially Old Man Wang, whom he had known for many years. His eyes were as if he was looking at an antique he had just collected last year. Old Xu immediately became annoyed.
"What are you all doing around me?"
Mr. Wang, the old man in a beige Tang suit, asked in surprise, "Old Xu? Are you... okay?"
This made Mr. Xu confused: "What's good?"
"You suddenly fainted just now, didn't you know?" someone interrupted, "It was this kid who revived you with his miraculous hands!"
Mr. Xu: “???”
Old Wang pointed in Jing Cheng's direction and exclaimed: "This kid is truly amazing!"
Seeing that Mr. Xu had a confused look on his face, as if he had no idea what was going on, everyone hurriedly explained to him, exaggerating the matter.
After listening to this, Old Xu looked solemn. He turned to look at Jing Cheng and said solemnly: "My friend, I am very grateful for saving my life! If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will definitely do what I can!"
Jing Cheng waved his hand nonchalantly, and said seriously: "Let's not talk about this for now, old man. You fainted just now because a villain did something evil. If this villain can succeed once, he will succeed a second time. I advise you to go home quickly and find this person!"
"A villain doing evil?" Old Xu was surprised.
Jing Cheng nodded and handed the thing in his hand to him.
"Look?"
Hearing this, everyone gathered around curiously, craning their necks to look around.
Jing Cheng: “…” He suddenly thought of the monkeys performing steel ring jumping in the circus.
Old Xu stared at the ball of black ash in his hand with a serious expression. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what was going on. However, he showed a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, wondering if this kid was playing tricks.
Unexpectedly, Jing Cheng seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking. He looked at him speechlessly and said, "I'm not playing tricks. This was the amulet I placed on your chest. It saved your life just now. Now it has turned into black ash. No wonder you don't remember it."
“…”
He obviously didn't see anything when he fainted, right? Old Xu thought, why am I becoming less and less convinced? He regretted making such a boast just now.
"Ah! I remember!" someone exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.
"I just saw him take out a triangular piece of yellow paper from his pocket. Is that the amulet?"
When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be true, so they all started to cheer and said that yes, he had just taken a talisman.
Jing Cheng shook his head helplessly, thinking that when these people didn't believe in him, they wanted to drive him away, but when they believed in him, they said it was true even without seeing the truth.
Old Xu was interrupted by everyone, and the doubts in his heart were dispelled. Because Jing Cheng just said that he fainted because of "a villain's mischief", he suddenly became nervous.
"My friend, what do you think I should do?"
Old Xu said worriedly, "The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. Can you help me solve this problem? The price is negotiable! I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Jing Cheng hesitated for a moment and did not agree to his request immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you know what the Yan Sheng technique is?"
Old Xu frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Are you talking about the kind of thing they show on TV where they prick people with their thorns?"
What kind of answer is this, as shown on TV?
Jing Cheng looked at him in confusion and said, "I'm talking about witchcraft, what does it have to do with TV?"
Old Xu's expression straightened up, and he quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. Can you explain it to me, young friend? I don't really understand these things."
The elderly people watching also looked at him with sharp eyes.
"..." Jing Cheng choked and said, "Then let me briefly tell you."
The art of curse is a very low-level witchcraft technique, also known as "the art of nightmare" and "the art of witchcraft and sorcery", which means "to subdue someone with a curse". It has been widely spread in the palace or among the people since ancient times.
The most famous of these was the "Witchcraft Disaster" in the later years of Emperor Wu of Han, which not only led to the killing of the then Empress Wei Zifu, Crown Prince Liu Ju and his family and other royal relatives, but also implicated the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Among the folks, the art of exorcism is mostly used by craftsmen.
In ancient times, carpenters, craftsmen and other manual occupations were considered low-class occupations with low social status, so there were many unscrupulous employers who oppressed these workers at will. The workers felt indignant and would retaliate against these unscrupulous employers by burying "talismans" in the employers' houses and casting curses.
Those who are cast under the "curse" will suffer unrest in their homes at the very least, or even the destruction of their families at the worst. It is extremely vicious.
Therefore, "Yan Sheng Shu" is also called "evil magic" by the people.
Many people hate this kind of harmful technique, because the spell of "Yan Sheng Technique" is simple to cast, but its effect is amazing and hard to guard against.
At this point, Jing Cheng glanced at Old Xu and said slowly, "Usually the caster of this kind of instant death curse will not be too far away from the target, so I guess he should still be nearby, and maybe he will come over to see if the spell can be successful."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded, coming from far away.
"Dad! How are you?"
Hearing the visitor's address, Mr. Xu's face immediately turned grim.
-----
The author has something to say:
The elderly group trembled in fear: He is coming, he is really coming, the bad guy who cast the curse is coming.
Jing Cheng's expression turned stern: Don't be afraid! I'm here!
Thank you for the nutrient solution, little cutie!
