Li Bin didn't understand why the goddess asked Qin Ran, an ordinary person, to go up there, but as a die-hard fan of the goddess, he grabbed Qin Ran and sent him up to the goddess.
Qin Ran was pushed up to the altar and immediately became the focus of the ghosts' sight.
He felt numb all over and moaned with a weak breath: "You, why did you ask me to come up here..."
"I'll borrow your Yin Yang Eyes for a while, and let you bring honor to the Qin family."
Luo Xi said, picked up the cinnabar and yellow paper on the altar, and began to draw talismans on the altar under everyone's gaze.
Qin Ran's eyes were dead.
He didn't care at all about being ignored as an ordinary person, and he didn't want to bring honor to the Qin family in this regard!
The ghosts below looked at him eagerly, and looked at the old Taoist priest wearing the "celestial cave clothes" with blank eyes.
How come this is different from the previous process? For salvation? The little girl on the altar seemed to be unable to see them.
The people watching on the side were also stunned. Even the most unreliable person would recite a few mantras for the rebirth of the dead. In the past ceremonies, the least capable young people could also save one or two ghosts. What was this girl named Tang Luoxi doing? Drawing talismans?
And she was drawing talismans in an extremely casual manner, lying on the altar! ?
There was no way a talisman drawn like this would be useful! The
art of talismans was very extensive. Drawing talismans required bathing, burning incense, praying to heaven and earth, and calming the mind...
Those who had practiced Taoism for decades had to prepare in advance before drawing talismans. If they were not careful, the whole talisman would be ruined. Who would draw talismans in public? Isn't this showing off their workmanship?
The Taoist priests glanced at Zhang Ke, "Speaking of which, you Taoyuan Temple also has a master of drawing talismans. The Li Jushi who is good at drawing talismans didn't come this time. Is this kind of talisman drawing posture popular now?" Zhang Ke's
eyes twitched a little. He didn't understand what Luo Xi was doing at all. Is it necessary to draw talismans for salvation?
Generally speaking, it is not necessary!
Even if you want to use talismans to assist, why did you call the Qin family kid up? What's the use of an ordinary person standing on the altar? Is it to give her courage?
Zhang Ke couldn't figure it out, so he could only smile perfunctorily at others.
That night in the underworld, it was obvious that the ghost soldiers were saved without much effort. Why is it so complicated now?
Zhang Ke also doubted whether the talisman drawn casually by Luo Xi could be used. After all, Qin Tianxing was best at catching ghosts with swordsmanship, not talismans.
But with confidence in Luo Xi's talent, when others asked again, he coughed lightly and said mysteriously: "Genius, there is always something different."
Everyone who was listening carefully and waiting for the answer: "..."
A group of Taoists were half-believing and half-doubting until they saw Luo Xi draw several talismans in one go, picked up one of them and stuck it on Qin Ran's forehead.
Now all the Taoists with some Taoist experience can see clearly that it is a borrowed talisman, which borrows the characteristics of other things for their own use temporarily.
A white light flashed by, and there seemed to be a hazy light flashing between Luo Xi and Qin Ran. When she closed her eyes, she clearly saw all kinds of lonely ghosts in front of her.
Luo Xi: "... So there are so many."
Qin Ran: "..."
What are you sighing about!
"It actually worked?"
The group of Taoists were in an uproar, obviously surprised that Luo Xi could draw a talisman so easily, and from the effect, it was very outstanding.
When a talisman is formed, there will be a surge of pure air. Tang Luoxi's talisman is more than pure air. The white light is so bright that anyone who is not blind can see it!
Some Taoists who also study talismans on weekdays can't help but focus their eyes on Luo Xi. Is this the secret of genius?
The talisman was formed so easily, making these people feel that what they have learned for so many years has been learned from dogs!
What's even more surprising is that Tang Luoxi borrowed Qin Ran's Yin Yang Eyes!
It was not clear what Qin Ran, an ordinary person, was going to do. After this, everyone present saw clearly that the boy from the Qin family actually had Yin Yang Eyes.
If you have Yin-Yang eyes, you are not an ordinary person. Even if Qin Ran can do nothing,
this pair of eyes means that he is born to practice Taoism! But Qin Ran doesn't seem to like his Yin-Yang eyes. Look at his pale face and his eyes that are so wandering that he doesn't even dare to look at the altar.
For a moment, everyone felt complicated.
They have been in Taoism for decades and rarely see people who are born with Yin-Yang eyes. But Qin Ran looks like he wants to blind himself.
Everyone murmured uncomfortably, why doesn't God choose people when he is cheating? It would be great if he gave them the chance. They will definitely not mind!
Even if Qin Ran tried hard not to look at the lonely ghosts under the altar, he could still feel their gloomy eyes.
He could not help but urge Luo Xi to perform the mantra quickly, finish it quickly and retreat quickly.
Luo Xi nodded, and Qin Ran was still thinking that he should chant the mantra to perform the mantra. As a result, Luo Xi picked up another talisman in the astonished eyes of everyone, chanted a few words to activate it, threw the talisman into the air, and the talisman burned silently.
The Taoists looked at this trick that seemed like a quack, and were speechless for a while.
What is this? Everyone present is a professional. There is really no need to use these tricks of quacks. They can't fool people.
Qin Ran noticed that the talisman was different from the ones Luo Xi had drawn before. It was more complicated and gorgeous, and the lines seemed alive. He thought it was a very powerful talisman that could immediately clear out all the wandering ghosts in front of the main hall with just one throw.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, when the talisman burned out in the air, all the ghosts below were gone.
Qin Ran collapsed and whispered: "What are you playing, stop playing, and get down to business!"
Luo Xi glanced at the sky full of stars and muttered in a low voice: "Why is it useless?"
Qin Ran gritted his teeth: "...I gave you my great-grandfather's book, you should study hard and study hard!"
Luo Xi has talent, he admits.
But Qin Ran also saw Luo Xi's laziness.
If others get their Qin family's book, even if they don't study day and night, they will take the effort to prepare for the college entrance examination and treat it seriously.
As a result, Tang Luoxi occasionally flipped through it and threw it aside.
This nonchalant attitude made it extremely exciting every time I saw her fighting a ghost, for fear that she would fail in the next second and be swallowed by the ghost.
Luo Xi stared at the sky and hummed perfunctorily. Qin Ran was so noisy, how could he not be afraid of ghosts now?
Qin Ran tried to divert his attention and fed Luo Xi chicken soup: "Even if you are talented, you must have a correct attitude. Genius is one percent of talent plus ninety-nine percent of sweat to succeed!"
The little golden dragon thought of the joke on the Internet and added: [But that one percent of talent is more important, even more important than ninety-nine percent of sweat, because it is often that one percent of talent that determines success. ]
Luo Xi: "..."
She poked the little golden dragon silently and decided not to tell Qin Ran about this poisonous chicken soup.
...
Zhang Ke suddenly looked up at the sky and whispered to himself: "...It's raining?"
It has been sunny these days. The sky was full of stars just now, but it is raining at this moment.
The most bizarre thing is that the rain is like rootless water, wrapped in a vast and clear air, and suddenly appears.
The ghosts squeezed below noticed the difference earlier than the Taoists. They looked up, their expressions changed from confusion to excitement and desire, and excitedly stretched their hands to the sky to bathe themselves in the rain. The
transparent and colorless raindrops fell on the ghosts, washing away the filth and misery on their bodies. One by one, they shed their hideous and horrible death faces in the rain, and their expressions calmly revealed their appearance before death.
Looking more carefully, many of these miserable ghosts who had been stranded in the human world had become more solid, as if they had been nourished by some tonic, and their faces were not so pale.
The ghosts were so excited that they allowed themselves to bathe in the rain more. As they looked closer and closer to the living, strands of golden light spots overflowed from them and swayed towards Luo Xi in front of the altar.
Luo Xi was slightly surprised. These golden light spots surrounded her. In her perception, this was a clean and pure energy.
Qin Ran was dumbfounded, "What are these things!"
The golden light spots seemed to be alive, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch them. As a result, the golden light spots avoided his hand and continued to circle around Luo Xi.
[Delicious! ]
The little golden dragon shouted excitedly, urging Luo Xi in a series of words.
[Quick, eat them, great tonic! 】
Luo Xi reached out and touched the golden light spot. The golden light seemed to have finally found its owner, and joyfully flowed into her body along her fingertips.
Luo Xi wanted to moan in comfort.
She even felt that her original power had been replenished.
Since coming to this world, under the pressure of the laws of heaven, she used the secret method of the mermaid clan to disguise herself as a human, wearing a human shell to avoid the pressure of the law.
And what supports this shell is the original soul power in her body.
The original power of the mermaid is very strong, but it is not inexhaustible. If she keeps relying on the original power, it will be exhausted one day, and then what awaits her is the destruction of the law.
Luo Xi has always wanted to find a way to replenish her strength, but due to the difference between this world and Asmana's power system, she has always been in vain.
After getting the Qin family's booklet, she converted her power into the Taoist system. Although it is powerful and she can finally use the power, she has made no progress in replenishing her original power.
Living off the land is a terrible future.
Until now, Luo Xi felt for the first time that her original soul power that had been depleted had been replenished. Although the pure power was very small compared to her original power, her soul moaned comfortably.
It was like a long drought and a sweet rain, from the inside out, every cell was cheering.
"The Taiyin Merit Water Method..."
Zhang Ke muttered to himself, "It's actually the legendary Taiyin Merit Water Method!"
Everyone was shocked, and looked at Luo Xi as if they were looking at a monster.
Water method is one of the five offerings of Taoism, which can cleanse dirt, remove air and resolve impurities, condense the true essence of Taiyin, and provide for the gods. Water is the most kind thing, it gives birth to hundreds of spirits and condenses the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It is mysterious and can break all methods.
But this saying only exists in legends and is only an annotation in Taoist scriptures, and no one will take it seriously.
Water method is recognized as weak, even the water official Dongyin Emperor rarely uses water method against the enemy. Didn't you see that Qin Tianxing is such an awesome character, he is also good at using swordsmanship.
But what did they see now!
The girl actually used a talisman to summon the water of the moon, which condensed into raindrops to save all ghosts.
The ghosts benefited from it, and in the dark, they fed back to her. The golden dots of light were not ordinary things, but the power of merit!
All those who practiced Taoism knew that the water of the moon was a good thing, but few people could get it. Even sorcerers who practiced water magic could only summon ordinary water at best, and hold a rain-praying ceremony every year when there was a drought.
But now, they really felt the clear and righteous energy of the water of the moon.
What's more terrifying is that because the water of the moon is an extremely rare nourishing thing, it nourishes the ghosts, and the ghosts are grateful in their hearts. In the dark, according to the laws, it will turn into merit to feed back to Luo Xi.
This is what is called "what goes around comes around", and the scientific explanation is the law of conservation of energy.
In ancient times, saints became saints through merit, and in ancient times, eminent monks and Taoists benefited the world through merit. But in modern times, in what is called the Dharma Ending Age... very few people can obtain the power of merit.
Not to mention that the color of this merit golden light is so pure, and the gleaming light is getting more and more, all rushing towards the girl in front of the altar.
The delicate and beautiful girl was surrounded by the golden light, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, like an immortal in the ninth heaven, cold and noble, dazzling and eye-catching.
At this moment, the entire Baiyun Temple was dead silent.
Seeing a scene that almost only exists in legends completely overturned everyone's concept of water magic. Seeing those golden lights of merit rushing towards Luo Xi one after another, everyone was shocked.
This is a genius.
Her talent may be rare in the past hundred years, or even several hundred years.
To be able to do so at this age, she must be a child who is loved by the Heavenly Dao and has excellent luck!
If the little golden dragon knew what those Taoists were thinking, he would definitely complain.
What are they thinking? The laws of the Heavenly Dao in this world want to kill it and Luo Xi. They are forced to use all the tricks they have kept in their boxes, and they have fallen to work for humans.
Where can there be such a miserable child of the Heavenly Dao? If you don't believe it, let Luo Xi show her golden tail, and the law will definitely chop it down in a minute.
But now the little golden dragon couldn't care less about the Taoists' expressions, it was so excited.
This kind of power can be absorbed!
Finally found a power that can be absorbed in this world!
Such beauty, such pure power, just smelling it makes me feel dizzy with happiness!
The little golden dragon salivated over the golden light of merit, but didn't rashly stretch out his claws to grab it.
The target of these golden light spots is only Luo Xi. They fly around Luo Xi, and then slowly sink into her body. Although tempting, the golden light of merit carries a trace of mystery of the law. For people and things other than Luo Xi, it is a naked threat.
I always feel that if I just grab it casually,...everyone who touches it will die.
The little golden dragon was very sensitive to danger, so even though his saliva was dripping, he just watched eagerly.
Luo Xi chuckled, and with a gentle look in her eyes, she lingered a handful of golden light dots on her fingertips, and guided them to poke the little golden dragon's mouth: [Eat it, this is also good for you.]
The little golden dragon was stunned.
Those golden lights of merit seemed to have spirituality. After getting the permission of the owner, they quickly drilled into the sluggish body of the little golden dragon.
The little golden dragon hummed comfortably, and its golden scales opened up. Feeling that the power in its body had actually increased a bit, it had the illusion that it was extremely powerful for a moment!
It really is a good thing!
The little golden dragon enjoyed tasting it, and it took a long time to come back to its senses.
After coming back to its senses, it looked at Luo Xi and began to shed tears.
Wow, this mermaid is so kind to it, it, it, it, it is so moved!
I want to cry!
Qin Ran was shocked by the beautiful dreamlike scene in front of him. He was so afraid of ghosts, but in this fantasy and holy scene, he was strangely not afraid.
He didn't understand what the golden light of merit was, nor did he know what Luo Xi did, but looking at Luo Xi surrounded by golden light spots, Qin Ran felt that if there were really gods in the world, it would be nothing more than this.
Looking at it... he suddenly stared at Luo Xi's cuffs and said: "That... these golden light spots are really made of water, your cuffs are wet..."
Luo Xi: "..."
Luo Xi soothed the little golden dragon with a headache: [Don't cry, my sleeves are all wet because of your crying, it's uncomfortable to stick to my arm. 】
The little golden dragon was still crying. It wiped its black eyes with its paws, but couldn't stop crying.
【I, I don't want to cry either, I just feel sad...】
Luo Xi raised her eyebrows: 【I gave you delicious food, but you still feel wronged and sad?】
The little golden dragon retorted hastily: 【It's not wronged, it's, it's happy! 】
【Since you are happy, why are you crying, smile.】
The little golden dragon tried hard to show its teeth, but a teardrop didn't cooperate, and it fell on its paw with a "click". It sobbed: 【I, I just think you are too good to me, and I am happy in my heart.】
It didn't know how to express its feelings at the moment, touched, happy, happy, and mixed with the sadness of not being able to repay Luo Xi.
It has always known that it is a burden and can only rely on Luo Xi to survive in this world.
The little golden dragon feels that it is not even as good as that stupid cat. After all, that stupid cat has a sponsor who can make money for Luo Xi. But what about itself? It has nothing and is of no use at all.
It maintains the pride and self-esteem of the dragon clan, but never expresses it in a tough manner. It forces itself not to think about those depressing realities, and forces itself to do the papers diligently, trying to help Luo Xi one day.
But deep down in its heart, it knows that it is a waste, a useless waste.
But even so, Luo Xi did not abandon it. She even gave herself gifts, and even the pure energy in front of her would be shared with it!
The little golden dragon was deeply shocked, because it and Luo Xi were both born in Asmana, and they had struggled to survive on that dying planet.
So it knew very well that power was the most important thing for them.
In Asmana, no creature would share its power with others. Between the stronger life forms, there would only be pure plunder and fighting.
Swallow equally powerful creatures to gain more power to survive!
This is the survival concept engraved in the bones of every Asmana creature. Its previous covetousness for Luo Xi was also out of its desire for powerful power.
Even after coming to this world, it gave up the idea. Even though the relationship between it and Luo Xi seemed to be much more relaxed, the little golden dragon did not naively think that Luo Xi would give it a part of the rare pure power that could be absorbed.
[Woo, woo-wa——]
The little golden dragon cried more and more fiercely, but fortunately it remembered that the occasion was different, so it did not make any sound, and only bombarded Luo Xi in its mind.
Luo Xi felt that the magic sound filling her ears was nothing more than that. She knew that the little golden dragon was a crybaby, but she did not expect it to be so powerful.
She endured for a few seconds and decided to save herself.
[Don't cry, just think of it as a gift. That jade token is broken, throw it away, don't you think this gift is better than the jade token? ]
The little golden dragon choked: [I, I don't want to throw it away. I want both gifts...】
【If you cry like this every time, I won’t share this power with you in the future.】 Luo Xi threatened slowly.
The little golden dragon was completely dumbfounded when he heard that there was a future.
It even forgot to cry, and its mind was full of thoughts: In the future, she will share with itself. This behavior doesn’t seem like a perfunctory response to a partner who is barely making a living...
The little golden dragon was a little nervous and embarrassed, and asked in a stammering way: 【What am I to you...】
When Luo Xi heard this, she blurted out an advertising slogan: 【You are my Euphoria.】
The little golden dragon: 【...】
Wow, it wants to cry again!
He was so nervous and cautious, and he mustered up all his courage to ask, but she teased him like this!
Noticing the deathly silence and occasional twitching in his sleeve, the little golden dragon seemed to be heartbroken.
Luo Xi decided not to tease it anymore, cleared his throat, and said it again seriously: [You are my partner, the most special one.]
The little golden dragon did not respond, as if it was dead.
Confused, Luo Xi quietly poked it through his sleeve.
The little golden dragon's tail trembled slightly, and it suddenly rolled itself into a circle, tightly wrapped around Luo Xi's wrist. It buried its head in her arm and rubbed it, not daring to look at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi wondered, is it shy?
Never mind, as long as she doesn't continue crying, it's okay to be shy.
She raised her eyes and prepared to complete the ritual and completely liberate all the ghosts.
...
The little golden dragon curled up where she couldn't see, holding its head with its claws, screaming wildly in its heart.
It, it, it, it is a partner!
It is the partner recognized by the mermaid Luo Xi herself!
And it is the most special and irreplaceable one!
This made the whole dragon fall into excitement and madness, and it was so happy that it was about to ascend to heaven.
Under Asma's harsh living conditions, there is almost no such thing as a partner. But if two creatures once acknowledge that they are partners, they will form an indestructible, inseparable, and never-betrayal relationship.
The little golden dragon has never had a partner, and has only had the intelligent computer to accompany it since birth.
Asmana's human technology is not yet advanced enough to give the intelligent computer emotions. It is accompanied by a cold, programmed intelligent entity that cannot understand the emotions of living things.
It learns all knowledge through the intelligent computer, and observes the outside world and the creatures outside through the intelligent computer.
Those powerful immortal species also covet it, but they don't want to be a partner, but want to devour it.
When the little golden dragon was just born, it was foolishly deceived. After experiencing several dangerous situations where it almost died, it realized that the relationship of partnership was nonsense.
It changed its previous behavior and used its own weakness to tear apart and eat those guys who wanted to swallow it.
Every time the little golden dragon bit its trophy with loss and ate it crunchily, it thought that it would never have a partner who would be honest with it in its life.
But now... it has it!
Luo Xi is different from those guys that Asma had in the past. She is different!
She is strong and beautiful, just like the countless times it had watched from the dark, the golden mermaid shone brilliantly, as if she was the only bright light left of Asma.
And now, she said she was a partner.
