The Strange Memoir - C304 Open the path of smallpox
The Bodhisattva came out when there was no one around. It took small steps with a solemn expression as it walked past the shelves. From time to time, it stopped to look around and even gave a slight nod.
The secret room immediately quieted down. After the Bodhisattva came out, everything in the room seemed to have received a huge shock. They all cried out in fear and countless illusory images flooded into my brain.
“Get Baldy back here, or you’re done for.” Blacky, in the form of a azure-dressed youth, stepped on the head of a bronze Bodhisattva as he spoke anxiously to me.
“Bodhisattva, come back!” I shouted. Countless stories of Adhesive Red Object s rushed towards me at the same time. Even if my Earth Flower was complete, even if there was a small black cloth that was continuously resisting, I still couldn’t endure it.
The Bodhisattva disappeared and hung back around my neck. After I forcefully suppressed the countless amounts of infernal energy back, the stone lions that were placed beside the Adhesive Red Object suddenly popped out from their sides.
The lion’s roar was still majestic, but at this moment, this was the first time I felt that these things were so weak. When these Adhesive Red Object did not receive any stimulation, these little lions could still be of some use to them, but once those things went crazy, the dense killing intent actually forced the stone lions in the secret compartment to not even be able to come out.
“Bald men are always the same thing. Nothing but bad things can be done.” The small black cloth muttered in dissatisfaction.
I looked at the several Adhesive Red Object s on the platforms and slowly narrowed my eyes. He had to think of a way to get rid of these things as soon as possible, never knowing how many generations they had been piled up until now. He couldn’t just leave them behind like this, or else if any of these things happened to them, it would be a huge disaster for the Zheng family.
“Push this little wooden table aside.” Blacky kicked the legs of the wet wooden table.
“If there is any accident, then you can give it a try.” I stared at Blacky.
The wooden table was placed here with great care. This place was a meeting point for the room’s infernal energy. The small wooden table was placed here to prevent these sticky red objects from twisting into a rope. Moreover, this small wooden table itself was quite old. It had been passed down along with the things in this room. From what Grandpa said when he was in a daze, this table had something that could suppress the evil aura.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” The small black cloth slapped my chest as a guarantee, causing me to move the wooden table away doubtfully.
In another location, the originally wet wooden table immediately became extremely dry, as if all the water in it had evaporated in an instant.
“Jade dragon, stone tiger, black king 8, the phoenix spitting blood in the south.” The small black cloth’s body trembled. The few more precious treasures that I prevented from being in this secret room were all swept up by him. A flawless jade dragon with a dragon-shaped jade embryo, a flying tiger carved from meteor, a tortoise formed from top-grade obsidian, and the last one to appear was a Phoenix covered in bloodstone. Just by looking at its bright red body, one could feel a luxurious aura rushing over.
Under the guidance of the small black cloth, I tied a strange knot on the necks of all four things that I had never seen before. In the end, I lit three candles that formed a triangle and placed them in the circle formed by the four things.
“Stand in there.” The small black cloth lay on my hand with a ‘chi chi’ sound. The corner of his cloth rose up, and he pointed at the center of the triangle formed by the candle in a very human-like manner.
I hesitated for a moment before I lifted my foot and walked inside.
The moment I stood at this place, my clothes immediately became wet. My hair became moist and there was even a slippery feeling on my arms that I shouldn’t have had.
This place was filled with a kind of corrosive aura that couldn’t be understood. If an ordinary person were to stand in this position, in a short span of time, they would definitely become a living corpse. With their bodies alive, their soul would enter the illusion world of some Adhesive Red Object and become their nourishment.
Standing here, I won’t have much to do in the short term. Even if the flowers hadn’t bloomed in the past, and I didn’t understand longevity, I would have been able to withstand standing here for a short period of time, not to mention that the current me isn’t who I used to be.
When I was completely unprepared, an extremely turbid power suddenly rushed into my body. This kind of power was unstoppable, even if it was the longevity with the strongest tenacity, it would immediately dissipate the moment it came into contact with these things, unable to form any sort of effective defense.
This was how terrifying these Adhesive Red Object were when they were twisted together. When all the different types of evil qi gathered together, there was a high chance that there would be a strange mutation, and this power might be an even stronger killing intent, or it might give birth to something completely different from Evil Qi. It was like thousands of poisonous plants mixing together, and you would never be able to find out which poisonous plants were mixed together to form this poison. Of course, if one was lucky, this poison might coalesce into something beneficial to the human body. However, the probability of this happening was very small, especially when there were many sources of poison.
The murky energy forced its way into my heart, and all sorts of chaotic scenes formed as it approached my spiritual altar! Usually at times like these, I would quickly move away from this position because the pain that followed was unbearable. It was just that this time, I could only stand here and endure because the things that were placed around me had sealed me in this place and I couldn’t move a single inch.
There was a bang, as if my heart had ruptured. The pain was so intense that beads of sweat immediately formed on my forehead. Forcing myself to endure the pain, I took a deep breath to adjust myself. I clearly knew that this wasn’t some kind of heart explosion, but the power of blood that started to form in my body. Or to put it another way, this was the power of blood.
Strange lines appeared on the surface of my skin, causing my body to feel transparent. This pattern was extremely similar to the one carved in the illusory void, but compared to it, it was much more exquisite. I had never been able to understand what was going on, and as time passed, I gradually forgot about this matter.
Things went on in a direction I could not grasp. The altar was filled with countless fragments of miserable images, but the flower of the same world as the altar was indifferent to them. Even at this moment, I could no longer connect with the power of this flower. I started to become a little muddle-headed, consciousness and memories gradually no longer seem to belong to me.
Now that the situation has developed to this point, I can no longer control what happens next. In fact, if someone were to tell me that my small life might end just like this, I wouldn’t be able to say anything to refute them. No matter how unwilling I am, the only thing left to do is to rely on the small black cloth.
It didn’t disappoint me, and just when I felt that I couldn’t move any further, a surge of pure energy surged through my body like a river and a stream of clear water poured into my spiritual altar, washing away the fragmented images and slowly leaving them blank.
This is a type of life-saving power, my body started to insanely absorb it, and the turbid power formed by the fusion of the infernal energy seemed to have discovered an irreconcilable enemy, suddenly, it no longer pressed closer to my heart, all of them pounced towards that power, and thus, the two forces started to continuously strangle each other, continuously strangle and kill each other, and constantly annihilate each other. However, the pure energy was constantly being devoured, but the turbid power formed by that infernal energy did not weaken in the slightest.
Did something happen? A layer of dark cloud suddenly shrouded my heart. If there was another small black cloth inside that wasn’t grasped as well, then my life really would be in danger! I tried to reform the longevity, but my body seemed to have turned into a corpse. Other than the two forces that were fighting against each other, along with the Guardian’s depleted bloodline, my body was dead silent. My nerves were numb, and I didn’t feel any pain.
Turbid energy and pure energy were clashing and colliding with each other. Moreover, there was an unending infernal energy gathering together, constantly strengthening this turbid energy. However, that pure energy seemed to lack strength as it was slowly surrounded by this turbid infernal energy and was being swallowed.
At this moment, I felt that my body was like a small universe, with layers of colorful nebula clouds colliding with each other, it was extremely majestic! If my body could really be seen through, I’m sure the people who saw this amazing scene would be amazed. However, the current me really didn’t have the experience to praise these things.
Was it all over!? Even though I usually meditate for a bit, I still feel a bit panicked in this kind of life and death situation. This was probably how humans were when faced with death. No matter how lonely a person was, even if they had no love for another person, they would still have an extremely complicated state of mind at the moment when life and death intertwined — unwilling to die. However, most people would have no choice but to die at that time, so they could only go and die generously. They couldn’t even leave behind a single word of ‘I’m not willing’.
This turning point would always happen at the most impossible time! At this moment, a mysterious force snuck into my body like a thief. The murky infernal energy was excitedly surrounding and annihilating the last bit of the ‘prey’, not even noticing that the ‘thief’ had snuck in.
