Chapter 31: Gao Baobao is in pain (1)
There was a dull thud. Guan Hu swayed left and right, then slowly turned his head. A pair of eyes looked at me in disbelief.
"You! You actually hit me with a club!" Bang! As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Hu fell straight down.
I shook my head without comment. I walked up to Guan Hu and took the ruler from him.
This demon-killing ruler is covered with countless runes. Its edges are as sharp as a knife blade. Only the handle is quite smooth. It is more like a broken knife than a ruler.
I sighed with some regret. This thing is not a magic weapon at all. It is just a sharp blade with the blessing of a formation! The name of the ghost-beating ruler is not worthy of its name!
"You! You!" Zhu Zhichong was so angry that he jumped up and down in the audience, pointing at me and unable to say a word. He turned around to complain to Gao Qiyun, but saw Wu Zhidao snatching the hundred-dollar bill from Gao Qiyun's hand with a smile. He suddenly felt dizzy, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
This scene came suddenly and ended strangely! Tang Tang, who was at the peak of the third rank, was actually knocked down by a stick! The audience suddenly fell into silence.
Faced with such a scene, I was a little overwhelmed. Didn't I win?
At this time, Wu Zhidao ran up to the stage with brisk steps, his face flushed with excitement.
"The result of the competition is self-evident. My Master Ni Ge from the East Gate won. Everyone has seen the illusion array, which can trap even a peak third-grade cultivator. But with this illusion array, Master Ni Ge's victory is undisputed."
Wow! The moment Wu Zhidao finished speaking, the audience finally exploded.
"Is there a way to fight like this? This is a sneak attack!"
"Brother Dao, you are right . If this is considered as such, then what is the difference between this and street brawls?"
"I think Master Ni's victory is undisputed. What's wrong with hitting him with a club? A cat that catches a mouse is a good cat, regardless of whether it is black or white. If you have the ability, try to see if you can hit Guan Hu with a club!"
Zheng Qihuai rarely lost his temper. He was grinning from ear to ear, holding a handful of banknotes in his hands.
I was probably the only one who felt uncomfortable. Now I was standing on the stage, staring at the hundred-dollar bill in Wu Zhidao's hand. But I didn't see him handing it to me. The audience was watching me, commenting on me, like I was exhibiting something.
"Um, ahem! President Wu, can you give me the Baina money?"
Wu Zhidao was stunned for a moment and reluctantly put the hundred-dollar bill in my hand. He said regretfully: " Brother Ni, you are too anxious. Let me, your elder brother, warm it up for you for a while."
The corners of my mouth twitched. I took the hundred-dollar bill and complained in my heart, you warmed it up, is it still mine?
Just as I was about to step down from the stage, Zhao Decang stopped me and said, "Master Ni, please stay. Let's continue with your answer. There is one thing I don't understand. Why do you say that Sun Yu is cursed? And from what you said, can it be removed?"
I stopped helplessly. It seemed that I couldn't get through today without explaining the situation.
"President Wu, please bring Sun Yu up."
Wu Zhidao glanced at me with a smile, and waved to Sun Yu who was standing in the audience. Sun Yu hurried up to the stage .
I walked to Sun Yu's side and pointed at the red dot on his forehead. "As mentioned before, this star of death is a sign of premature death. But Sun Yu has a full forehead and a wide nose and mouth. Although he has a sign of failure, he is definitely not short-lived. Moreover, with the layout of Sun Yu's five palaces, although he can't be said to be rich and powerful, he will never be so poor. It is inevitable that he will be cursed."
After a pause, I saw that everyone in the audience was listening carefully. Then I said, "As for breaking the curse, the nine is a cycle, and the nine palaces are the basis. Sun Yu's nine palaces are already full of bad luck, which means that Sun Yu has been through hardships for nine generations. Fortunately, Sun Yu is the ninth generation, and Sun Yu himself is very determined. This makes it possible to break the curse."
"Hmph, maybe! As a fortune teller, do you know the meaning of the word 'maybe'? Or did you just say it casually?" Zhao Decang's brows furrowed more and more as he listened to my words, and his eyes changed from solemn to somewhat angry.
"Brother Ni, this curse can be removed if you can, and can't be removed if you can. Are you sure?" Unexpectedly, Wu Zhidao also asked seriously.
I was silent for a moment. I wasn't just talking about breaking the curse, in fact, I wasn't completely sure. It was impossible for me, a peak-level second-grade cultivator, to break the curse of the existence that cast the Nine-Life Death Star Curse. However, the Nine-Life period was at least five hundred years, and that existence was probably dead. After hundreds of years of sedimentation, the curse had loosened without anyone controlling it. I was 80% sure.
"Master Ni, can you really help me?" Sun Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at me courageously and asked.
"With my level of cultivation , I can't do it, but with the help of President Gao, I have a 10-fold chance of success." I originally wanted to drag Zhao Decang into the water, but seeing Sun Yu's hopeful eyes, I decided to bring in Gao Qiyun, who has the highest level of cultivation here.
"Oh, Master Ni, since you said you are 100% sure, I would like to see it for myself. How do you want me to help you?"
Gao Qiyun looked at me with great interest and agreed without hesitation. He smiled at me meaningfully.
I smiled slightly. It would be fine if Zhao Decang had a dark face, but Gao Qiyun was watching it as a good show. The worst one was this one.
"President Gao, I'm sorry. Sun Yu's curse is the Lone Star Death Curse. As the name suggests, the only way is to extract the lone star. Then drive away the obscure aura of the Nine Palaces, and the curse will be lifted. Wait, I will set up the magic circle. President Gao can simply dispel it. I am only a second-grade cultivator. Although I know how to lift it, I am powerless. I can only trouble President Gao."
I told Gao Qiyun the method of removing the spell without hiding anything, and at the same time showed weakness and pushed Gao Qiyun to a higher level. As long as he was willing to sit in the magic circle, I would not worry that Gao Qiyun would not work hard.
"Oh, Master Ni, let's get started!" Gao Qiyun nodded in agreement with great interest. I guess he was quite happy with my recommendation.
I asked Sun Yu to sit on the ground. I asked Gao Qiyun to sit behind Sun Yu and put his hand on Sun Yu's head.
However, Gao Qiyun did not really put in any effort. While he was on Sun Yu's head, a layer of spiritual power had been quietly spread on the palm of Gao Qiyun's hand.
Faced with such a scene, I just smiled. Although my cultivation is shallow, the array spells in the commoner magic are very wonderful.
I took out the copper coins and arranged them around Gao Qiyun and Sun Yu according to the Yin-Yang Bagua. However, my arrangement was different from the Bagua. As the saying goes, Qian is on top and Kun is on the bottom. I did the opposite, spreading Yin outside and Yang inside, exchanging Yin and Yang. This is the essence of this formation. This formation is called Guosha.
The so-called "passing the evil spirit" is not to drive away the evil spirit. It is to use the principle of the mutual generation and conversion of yin and yang. When the formation moves, yin and yang are converted, the lonely star appears, and the bad luck is swept away. As the core of the formation, Sun Yu and Gao Qiyun, the fortunes of the two people will undergo a major transformation.
Of course, I learned from Zheng Qihuai that Gao Qiyun is at the level of a fifth-grade master. Self-protection is no problem. It is precisely because of this that I chose Gao Qiyun.
"The formation moves, chaos begins, yin and yang are born, the two yin and yang change into four phases, the four phases give rise to the eight trigrams. Yin and yang transform into each other!"
I pinched my fingers and moved away from the formation. The peach wood sword in my hand, carrying a touch of my spiritual power, flew into the formation. The evil formation suddenly burst into a layer of ripples and spread out. The people around only felt a breeze blowing on their faces.
At this moment, I jumped off the platform without hesitation and walked away under everyone's surprised gaze.
"Boy, you dare to cheat me!" As I was jogging, Gao Qiyun's angry roar rang out behind me. Then I saw a gray mist on the platform, with a sour smell. It spread out.
"Damn it, it's bad luck!" Wu Zhidao was the first to react. When I ran out, the old fox also ran out. At this time, he turned his head and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Ah!" Zhao Decang was even more straightforward. At the moment of bad luck, he only left a cry of surprise. With a leap, he disappeared from sight at a speed comparable to that of a cheetah.
The people in the audience, who were still confused, were finally awakened by Wu Zhidao's exclamation. They pinched their noses, looked dirty and disgusted. Their actions were very consistent! They walked quickly, and in an instant, the audience was empty.
The most comfortable person here is Sun Yu. He closed his eyes and looked very happy. He seemed to feel an indescribable relaxation all over his body. It was as if the shackles that had been tied to his body were loosening little by little. Black sweat spread all over his body. Sun Yu hummed in comfort.
“So cool!”
"Bullshit!" Gao Qiyun no longer had the image of a calm and composed senior figure. Upon hearing Sun Yu's humming, he became so angry that he swore.
But that was all. Gao Qiyun felt very aggrieved. He wanted to stand up, pat his butt and leave. No matter who faced such a strong bad luck, their face would become very ugly. This was bad luck that would deprive him of his fortune!
If you ask Gao Qiyun what he wants to do most now, he will definitely roll up his sleeves and slap me to death.
But Gao Qiyun didn't dare to stand up at this time. With the help of the operation of the formation, the bad luck on Sun Yu wanted to be transferred to Gao Qiyun. That's not all! The star of death above Sun Yu's head had gradually faded and slowly turned into a red blood bead. It exuded an incomparable stench and slowly floated towards Gao Qiyun's eyebrows.
If he stood up at this time, it would be tantamount to giving up resistance. The nine lifetimes of bad luck would instantly be transferred to him.
Gao Baobao felt miserable! Was he using his spiritual power as a broom? The sour and foul smell of blood beads made his scalp tingle just by looking at it!
