Chapter 36: Last-Minute Cramming
When I was watching, I thought the fireworks were not far away, but when I walked, I realized the old saying "looking at the mountain and running the horse to death" was true. The road in the mountain was very difficult to walk on. To be more precise, there was no road at all. It was full of big and small stones, thick and thin trees, and annoying bushes.
As we continued to move forward, the tingling sensation on the moon in my palm became stronger and stronger. I became more and more nervous. Although I spoke lofty words of righteousness, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid when I really had to go up there. After all, I was just a rookie. Even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't handle the problem, so with my ability, I would probably just be killed if I rushed up there.
But even knowing this, I can't just run away with my tail between my legs.
"Dude, buddy, wait!"
Zhao Hai's shout came from behind, disrupting my thoughts. I felt unhappy, turned around and whispered, "What the hell is going on?"
"There seems to be something wrong with Yang Ling."
Shit, I've lost my soul, of course something is wrong. I said, "Can you stop talking nonsense? I'm really upset."
"No, buddy. There's something really wrong with Yang Ling. Come over and take a look."
The boy's voice was a little anxious, not like he was teasing me. I frowned and walked back. The flashlight shone on Yang Ling. Her body was trembling slightly, her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and she looked like she had a nightmare.
Zhao Hai sat on the ground, holding Yang Ling in his arms, and asked worriedly: "Brother, what's wrong with Yang Ling? Is she in danger?"
Damn, how do I know if she is in danger? But I know we will definitely be in danger. I scratched the itchy moon in my palm, and suddenly thought to myself, could it be because we are close to the destination that Yang Ling is like this? If her lost soul and spirit have not disappeared, then it is very likely in the ancient tomb ahead. Maybe it is because she is close to her own soul and spirit that her body has such a reaction.
"Dude, you're a professional, think of a solution quickly!"
Damn it, I'm just a half-baked person, not a professional. I have no experience in this kind of thing, how can I know how to deal with it?
"Uh, well, I don't have any experience."
I said a little embarrassedly. Zhao Hai's eyes widened and stared at me. I pulled the corner of my mouth, glanced at the side, and said: "Actually, I haven't been in this industry for a long time, so I'm just a rookie."
I am a little embarrassed to say this. Zhao Hai glared and said, "Brother, no matter what, you are definitely more professional than me, you should think of a way to save Yang Ling. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda ."
I don’t know what a seven-story pagoda is. I only know that I’m really just a rookie. But looking at Zhao Hai’s face that became a little ferocious because of excitement, I don’t know how to refuse.
"Okay, okay, stop glaring at me. I'll think of a solution."
I said quickly, and then ignored his grateful look, and quickly took out the book given by Lu Xiaofeng from my bag and started to look through it. Yang Ling is probably in this situation because she lost her soul. Let me see if there are any spells in this book for this situation.
"No way, big brother, are you just cramming for the exam?"
Zhao Hai stared at me with a strange look. I got angry and said, "Fuck, shut up or you can come."
Zhao Hai rolled his eyes, but still kept his mouth shut, staring at Yang Ling. I continued to look through the book, and after turning a few pages, I suddenly saw a "concentration technique". It said that when a person is frightened or overly excited, they may be shocked, stunned, and lose their mind. Although it is not losing the soul, it seems a bit similar.
I quickly looked at the hand seals and spells of this "concentration technique" carefully, and then followed suit, pinching the seals with both hands and shouting softly: "Taishangtaixing, respond to changes without stopping. Wisdom is clear, and the mind is peaceful. Concentrate!"
After the spell was finished, I separated my hands, put the index and middle fingers of my left hand together on the wrist of my right hand, and put the index and middle fingers of my right hand together on Yang Ling's forehead. At the same time, the weak spiritual power in my body surged, and it seemed to be very regular. Then, a little faint light came out from the fingertips of my right hand, and it touched Yang Ling's forehead and sank into it.
Zhao Hai and I held our breath and stared at Yang Ling. After more than ten seconds, Yang Ling's body gradually calmed down from the tremor. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zhao Hai's tense nerves seemed to relax as well, and he looked at Yang Ling with a smile.
"Hehe, done. How's it going, am I awesome?"
I raised my head somewhat proudly, glanced at Zhao Hai and said. The boy laughed and said, "Brother, you are doing a good job of cramming at the last minute."
What the hell, what the hell is that? I glared at him, then looked at Yang Ling, and then continued walking in the direction where the fireworks signal was launched.
"Dude, can we take a break?"
Zhao Hai shouted from behind. I threw him a sentence without turning my head: " Stop talking nonsense, I can't guarantee that I can still handle Yang Ling's problem next time. If you want to wake her up as soon as possible, hurry up and get going."
This guy followed quickly with Yang Ling on his back. Yang Ling seemed to be asleep at this moment. I could feel that her life force seemed to be much weaker and getting weaker.
Late at night, there was almost no light in the forest. Although there were some moons and stars in the sky, their light was blocked by the branches of the trees and could not shine into the woods at all. The light from the flashlights in our hands could only illuminate a small area around us.
It was difficult for us to determine the exact location of the previous fireworks signal, so we could only move in that direction, and we didn't know how far we were, or whether we had already passed it. When it was almost dawn, we stopped to rest for a while. After dawn, I asked Zhao Hai to take Yang Ling to wait at our resting place while I looked around first.
When I was on the mountain trail before, the terrain was relatively high, so I could see the direction and location of the fireworks. But when I walked in the forest, I almost lost my direction, not to mention finding the location. Fortunately, I was naughty when I was a child, and there were many trees in the mountain village. I often climbed trees with the children in the village, and my tree climbing skills were pretty good. After turning around a few times, I couldn't determine where the fireworks were before, so I found a relatively large tree and climbed to the top where I couldn't start.
Standing high up in the tree, I opened my eyes wide and scanned the range I could see, and finally saw the location where the fireworks had shot up into the sky. Fortunately, I had made a note of the characteristics of the forest at that location. The trees in that area were obviously shorter and sparser than the surrounding trees, and it looked like a valley.
I carefully noted the direction and it was not far from here. After climbing down the tree, I returned to the place where I had rested before, and then I sped up with Zhao Hai, who was carrying Yang Ling, and continued on my way.
