Chapter 85 Crying in the Ear
The lamp went out so suddenly that I was stunned. Hu Zi's face changed drastically. He stared with wide eyes and stammered, "What happened? Why did the lamp go out?"
"I don't know." I was also shocked, because the lamp went out without any signs, and it went out very cleanly. It felt like someone blew hard and blew the lamp out directly.
"Qian Yu, what should we do now?" Hu Zi looked at me anxiously. I didn't say anything, but closed my eyes and muttered something for a while, then pointed at the extinguished life lamp.
Then I heard a "whoosh" sound, and the candle instantly burned again.
Hu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, but I looked at Hu Zi's grandmother with a serious expression.
I saw that the life lamp on Hu Zi's grandmother's head was obviously affected just now. The flame that had been stabilizing began to jump again, just like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
I frowned and wondered what was going on. The Corpse Clothes Sutra recorded that after the Seven Star Life Lamp was lit, as long as it was placed in the right direction, it would be difficult to extinguish without external intervention.
If the lamp goes out, it is very likely that the person who extended her life has angered the heavens. Extinguishing the lamp is just a warning from heaven to the person who extended her life.
However, Grandma Huzi's life span has not yet ended. I am calling back her soul, which is not against the will of heaven, so it is impossible to anger heaven.
If so, what is going on?
Could it be... that there is an external force involved?
My heart skipped a beat when I thought of this. I squinted my eyes and looked around the bedroom.
The brightly lit bedroom was now silent, with only the sound of burning candles echoing in the bedroom.
But other than that, there was nothing else in the bedroom.
"Is it just a coincidence? Or is it a problem with the quality of the candles?" I looked puzzled.
But the next moment, my heart suddenly jumped, and I stood up.
"What happened!" I stared with my eyes wide open, with a look of astonishment on my face.
Because just now, three seven-star lamps went out at the same time.
Although these three seven-star lamps were close to each other, they were not in a group. They were arranged in three seven-star arrays, which means that the extinction of these three lamps means that three seven-star arrays can no longer operate normally.
Sure enough, as these three lamps went out, the remaining seven-star lamps around them also jumped and swayed rapidly, as if they would go out at any time.
"What the hell, what's going on!" I gritted my teeth, then turned around and looked at the life lamp on Grandma Huzi's head.
I saw that as the three rows of seven-star arrays stopped running, the life lamp on Grandma Huzi's head suddenly dimmed, and even the flame of the main lamp in Huzi's hand became a little smaller.
"Oh my god!" I cursed, then turned around and looked at the three extinguished lamps.
These three lamps represent Tianshu, Kaiyang and Yaoguang in the Beidou Seven Stars Array.
Each of the Beidou Seven Stars has its own unique meaning.
In Taoism, each of the Beidou Seven Stars is even called a star god.
However, the Corpse Clothing Sutra records that in the Seven Stars Life Extension Secret Art, Tianshu represents the desire for life. When this lamp is lit, the soul of the person being summoned will be stimulated to have an infinite desire for life. Once this lamp is extinguished, the soul of the person being summoned will lose this desire and will be completely hopeless in an instant.
Kaiyang represents disaster.
Yaoguang represents rebirth after disaster.
At this moment, all three lamps are extinguished. This is clearly to make Grandma Hu Zi completely hopeless and lose her desire for life, and to bring down disasters to prevent Grandma Hu Zi from being reborn after disaster!
Cold sweat kept flowing down my forehead like raindrops, but then I suddenly found something wrong. 7K妏敩
Three of the lamps have been extinguished, and the remaining seven-star lamps have also begun to become unstable, but Hu Zi has no reaction at all.
I hurriedly looked at Hu Zi, and then my heart trembled.
I saw that Hu Zi was actually shaking his head, and his face was almost buried in the shadows, and he seemed to be asleep. I called him twice, but he didn't react at all.
"What's going on?"
Anxiety, fear, regret...
countless emotions suddenly emerged in my heart, and for a moment, I was a little panicked.
At this moment, I even began to regret it. My Taoism was too low. Although I followed my master to practice martial arts and cultivate Taoism since I was a child, I had no practical experience and had never performed Taoism alone.
Tonight, I was almost forced to do it.
"Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been lazy when my master taught me the Dao!" I pulled a handful of hair with a look of regret, and then took a deep breath to calm myself.
I knew that no matter what, I couldn't panic at this moment, because once I panicked, then this time of summoning the soul might really fail.
"Let's relight the seven-star lamp first."
I didn't care about Hu Zi first, but found a lighter, approached the lamps, and started to relight them.
The reason why I didn't use the spell to light the seven-star lamp this time was because that method was too energy-consuming. I haven't had enough rest these days, and I've been injured several times, so I've already lost a lot of energy. If I repeatedly perform Taoist magic, I might be exhausted and faint.
Now Hu Zi has become abnormal. If I faint again, then Hu Zi's grandmother will be in danger.
I thought it would take some trouble to light these three lamps, but what I didn't expect was that it was unusually smooth.
When the three lamps were re-lit, the remaining seven-star lamps really stabilized, the main lamp in Hu Zi's hand also tended to calm down, and the life lamp on Hu Zi's grandmother's head also shone brightly in an instant, and she regained her vitality.
"Huh!"
I let out a long breath, then squinted my eyes and looked at Hu Zi.
I saw that Hu Zi was still sitting cross-legged beside Hu Zi's grandmother, but at this moment he seemed to be asleep, with his head lowered, and he had no consciousness at all.
However, I felt a cold breath on Hu Zi's body, and there was a black air hovering above his head.
However, this black air was different from the previous time when Hu Zi was possessed by the yellow-skinned man. At that time, Hu Zi had a moldy air on his head, but now, this black air actually exuded a strong aura of death.
"Could it be...something unclean has come in?"
I was shocked, and almost the moment this thought came to my mind, I suddenly froze, and my eyes were widened by my eyes, full of fear.
Because in my ears, I actually heard...a woman's cry!
