Day and night tour

Chapter 153 Dominoes
Li Chengfeng felt aggrieved. He did not want to kneel down and worship other gods, as this was contrary to his beliefs. However, the one who possessed Zhou Xuan was not a god.

The overwhelming momentum and the extremely murderous intent gave Li Chengfeng a strange feeling deep in his heart.

——Even though he and Zhou Xuan were both of similar height, he always felt that the other was as majestic as a mountain. When Zhou Xuan didn't look at him, he was trembling with fear. When Zhou Xuan looked at him, his figure became even smaller, as small as a drop in the ocean.
Zhou Xuan is the boundless ocean.

Li Chengfeng was oppressed by the aura of the gods and knelt down in the most pious manner.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

The ritual of spirit possession was originally to invite the gods to possess one's body, and Zhou Xuan did invite the "Star God".
But he never expected that the possession of "Star God" would actually attract the Nuo god.

Zhou Xuan is the human incarnation appointed by the Nuo god, so how can other gods be allowed to interfere!
The Nuo God then showed up and swallowed up the thoughts of the "Star God". He chose to possess Zhou Xuan himself and complete this "Blessing from the Heavenly Official".

However, the breath of the gods was too powerful. Zhou Xuan felt that every inch of his bones were like bamboo strips baked by the scorching sun, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard from time to time.

Every time the sound rang, Zhou Xuan's pain deepened.
But no matter how painful it is, the necessary rituals still have to be performed, such as asking Li Chengfeng to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone about the fact that he witnessed the Nuo god possessing him - asking him to keep the secret.

How to drive him to keep a secret? Zhou Xuan doesn't know, but Nuo God does.

Zhou Xuan raised his right hand, and the bone tooth in his sleeve flew out, like a sharp knife falling from the sky, chopping down towards Li Chengfeng on the head.

The tiny bone teeth struck out with tremendous force, and the walls and pillars of the house were shaking, as if resonating with the force.

Li Chengfeng shed tears, not entirely because of fear, but more because of the body's instinctive reaction when on the verge of death.

But he didn't die.

Only the upper and lower lips were cut by the bone teeth, leaving a shallow bloody mark.

"Keep your mouth shut about what happened today." Li Chengfeng reacted and dipped his left and right hands in the blood on his lips, drew a slanting blood mark on his mouth. After closing his eyes, he drew a horizontal blood mark on his eyes.

Seeing God with eyes but not speaking with mouth is the "blood curse of silence" written by believers with blood. Anyone who breaks the curse will be attacked by the curse, and anyone who speaks of it will die.

After receiving the "Blood Curse of Shut Up", Zhou Xuan pointed out two fingers with his right hand in succession. When the first finger fell, a tattoo of "Blessing from Heaven" unfolded in the air.

The second finger falls,

The bone tooth flew into the air, as fast as an arrow, and shot towards the tattooed Tianguan's forehead. The bone tooth did not pierce the skin, but only left a drop of blood on his forehead.

The wonderful use of force is like a feather arrow that flies across a water strider walking on the lake from hundreds of meters away without causing any ripples on the water surface. The control is so precise and perfect.

With that drop of blood, Tianguan opened his eyes, and the bright stars were reflected in his pupils.

It is also because of these eyes that the tattoo has charm, and the "life in the making" that Li Chengfeng mentioned is born successfully!

At this very moment,
A faint blue mist emerged from Zhou Xuan's body and was then absorbed by his right hand.

The spirit-telling session is over and the thoughts of the Nuo god leave the body.

Zhou Xuan became exhausted and collapsed to the ground. The dangling bones, teeth, and tattoos all fell to the ground as the power of the Nuo god left him.

After taking a look at the tattoo, Li Chengfeng kowtowed three times to Zhou Xuan devoutly.

Zhou Xuan knew that this head was not knocked for him.

"Teacher Li, don't forget..." Zhou Xuan pointed to his mouth.

"I have drawn the silencing spell, don't worry, young sir."

Li Chengfeng rolled up the tattoo carefully. This tattoo contained the brushwork of a true god and the rules of prayer for the heavenly officials.

Regardless of whether he can awaken the "God of Pain and Disaster" through the wonderful meaning contained in it, this tattoo will be the most precious collection in his life, and he will not sell it no matter how high the price is.

"My work is done, and your duties have just begun, 'little guardian'."

Zhou Xuan regained some strength, picked up the bone tooth, opened the shop door, and said to Duan Qinglan, who had been guarding the door and not letting anyone in, "Madam Duan, the tattoo is done. Your teacher is not in a good condition. Go and take care of him."

"Thank you, young sir!"

Duan Qinglan hurriedly walked into the store. Zhou Xuan called her and said, "By the way, remember to lock the door for me before you leave."

"Ah."

Duan Qinglan entered the store and saw that the teacher no longer looked like an old scholar.

To say that he looked miserable was a compliment.

Li Chengfeng's body was covered in blood and mud, sticking to his old and wrinkled skin, as if he had just rolled in the mud.

Plus the bloodstains on the chest and lips, it's dirty and creepy!
Duan Qinglan felt sorry for her teacher, so she went to the grocery store to buy a basin and a towel, and then asked the waterman to buy half a basin of boiling water.

She mixed the boiling water into warm water, dipped a towel into the water, and wiped the mud and blood stains off the teacher's body.

After finally wiping the upper body clean, when Duan Qinglan was about to wipe the teacher's lips, Li Chengfeng grabbed her hand and said, "Don't wipe her lips!"

The two bloody marks on his lips, left by the Nuo god, are his lifelong glory!

Although the bloodstains will heal, form scabs, and then return to being completely traceless, Li Chengfeng still hopes that day will come later.

Every day that the wound was there, he could always recall the stunning momentum when the bone and tooth fell.

The old man from the Prayer Faction hated the use of swords the most, as he always thought it was vulgar and not elegant at all, but this time was an exception!
……

After tidying up again, Li Chengfeng and his student Duan Qinglan went to Zhouji Jingyi Shop again.

This time, as soon as Li Chengfeng entered the room, he bowed respectfully to Zhou Xuan and said softly, "Young sir, I'm here to pay the reward."

Duan Qinglan was very surprised. She didn't know what had happened in the old painting studio. Why did the teacher, who was always cold to outsiders, suddenly become so respectful towards Zhou Xuan?

What kind of magic does this young tattoo artist have that he could conquer his teacher?

"What kind of compensation is this? I haven't encountered any problems yet."

Zhou Xuan smoked a cigarette and glanced at Li Chengfeng.

In his understanding, the "little protector" would only come to protect the Dharma when there is danger. Why is he here protecting the Dharma while smoking leisurely?
"Young sir, I am usually very busy with my duties. If I really need to protect the law, I am afraid that I will not be able to arrive in time, so I have a compromise."

Li Chengfeng took out a bone tile from his inner pocket, handed it to Zhou Xuan, and said, "Everyone will recognize this bone tile as a token of the Bone Elders Association. Seeing the bone tile is like seeing the Bone Elders! If anyone wants to embarrass the young master, show this tile and he will back off."

Zhou Xuan took the dominoes and looked at them. They were about the same size as playing cards, but slightly thicker.

On the front of the dominoes, there is a picture of a book, and in the lower right corner, there is a signature - Li Chengfeng from the Bone Association.

"What if the person who is making things difficult for me is from Gu Lao?" Zhou Xuan raised a bug.

Both sides have dominoes from the Bone Elders' Association, which means they are on an equal footing. So it would be difficult for the other party.

Duan Qinglan explained to Zhou Xuan on behalf of the teacher,
"The dominoes of the Bone Elders Association are different for each person, and the patterns drawn on the cards are used to distinguish identity and rank.
When ordinary people see this sign, they will know who is behind you and dare not provoke you.
If you encounter a difficult problem, just crush the dominoes. The teacher will be able to sense that you are in big trouble and will naturally come forward to help you deal with it! "

"Good stuff, I'll take it."

Zhou Xuan put the dominoes into his pocket. Besides making money, the more important purpose of tattooing was to earn favors from others.

Improving the level of popularity is not something that can be achieved overnight. If you want to keep the tattoo business going for a long time, you need to lean on a big tree for shade.

"Young sir, if you need my help in the future, just tell me. It is my honor to help you solve your problems."

Li Chengfeng's attitude was very sincere. Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't mention it. I really have something to trouble you with."

He asked Li Chengfeng: "Do you understand spirit possession?"

The spirit possession can allow Zhou Xuan to obtain the power of the Nuo god's thoughts. Just now in the old painting studio, the person who was amazed by the bone tooth splitting was not only Li Chengfeng, he was also amazed.

Zhou Xuan had a bold idea. If he could fully understand the ritual of spirit writing, he could obtain the power of the Nuo god's thoughts after each ritual. When he used the right knife, he could kill his opponent across more levels of incense.

After he returned to the store, he asked Yun Ziliang if he knew anything about the spirit-spirit ritual.

Yun Ziliang’s answer was simple.

"You asked me if I understood it. Well, I do understand it. But you want to use spirit writing to ask the Nuo god to possess your body and gain more power from the Nuo god. With my level, I can't help you." Since Yun Ziliang didn't know much about spirit writing, Zhou Xuan decided to ask Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng has extensive knowledge of mysticism.

But no matter how knowledgeable a person is, he or she has blind spots in knowledge.

"I don't know much about spirit possession, but our Bone Elders Association has a large number of ancient books that record the spirit possession rituals."

Li Chengfeng said: "I can help you find relevant ancient books."

"Then I would like to thank Teacher Li first."

"Alas, I dare not say thank you."

Ever since Li Chengfeng learned the secret of Zhou Xuan's right hand, and especially after seeing the Bone Tooth knife and the Nuo god's domineering aura, his faith has been somewhat shaken.

As for Zhou Xuan, in addition to admiring the other party's tattooing skills, he also felt a little bit of submission to the Nuo god.

"I will send the ancient books to you in the next two days."

"it is good!"

After getting Zhou Xuan's response, Li Chengfeng said goodbye and left Zhouji Jingyi Shop.

……

At the intersection of Dongshi Street and Jiaofang Road,
Duan Qinglan's driver had been waiting for a long time.
When the driver saw Madam and Li Chengfeng, he quickly got out of the car and opened the back door. After the two got in, the driver returned to the driver's seat and asked, "Madam, where are we going?"

"Send the teacher home." Duan Qinglan picked up the wooden cigar box and took out a cigar and lit it for Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng took a puff of the cigar, the sweet smell lingering on his tongue. He exhaled the smoke and said to Duan Qinglan, "Go to medical school."

"Teacher, you need to rest and study the tattoo. There is no rush for one or two days."

"I'm going to the academy to help the young master find ancient books on spirit mediums."

Duan Qinglan was afraid that she had heard it wrong.

She knew the teacher's character very well. He had been working hard to awaken the fire all his life. Apart from his daily lectures or a topic assigned by the Bone Elders Association that required him to research, he spent the rest of his time looking for ways to awaken the fire. Why would he take the initiative to look for ancient books on "spiritual spirits" today?

For this kind of thing, just tell any student to do it.

Duan Qinglan decided to share Li Chengfeng's worries: "Teacher, you take a rest first. I will take care of the ancient book search."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it properly. Since it's the young master's order, it's better for me to do it myself."

"..."Duan Qinglan.

She was a little confused. The teacher was fine when she came out, but after finishing the tattoo, she became so enthusiastic!

What kind of drug did the young master give to the teacher?

……

Zhou Xuan was lying on the recliner in the Zhou family's Jingyi shop, closing his eyes and recalling the blow from the bone tooth. That kind of overbearing yet extremely precise power made Zhou Xuan truly desire to "become stronger" for the first time.

When he was in the Zhou family, Zhou Xuan also wanted to become stronger and increase his popularity quickly, but that kind of strength was for self-protection. Various forces were eyeing the Blood Well Psychic, and he didn't want to be a useless person protected by his sister and master all his life!
but now,
Zhou Xuan's desire to become stronger became simple yet strong - once he had seen something better, he wanted to get it.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you thinking about?"

Yun Ziliang held the teapot and sat next to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Lao Yun, Li Chengfeng is a member of the Bone Elders Association, how come he became a teacher again?"

"You mean Huifeng Medical College? That's not just any college!"

Yun Ziliang said, "Old Gu is a scholar of mysticism. The deepest part of the medical school studies mysticism. Did you know that they used the psychic from the Blood Well to conduct human experiments? That's the kind of school."

"Does Gu Lao also conduct human experiments?"

“Not that crazy.”

Yun Ziliang said: "The fundamental reason why Gu Lao can become the number one organization in Mingjiang Prefecture is that they are relatively upright people, at least most of them are relatively upright, but... this world is a bit crazy, and Gu Lao should have some people who are turning into crazy scholars."

“Why are there crazy scholars everywhere?”

Zhou Xuan sighed and said to Yun Ziliang, "We did a big deal today. Let's not light a fire tonight and go to Dongjiang Restaurant!"

After saying that, Zhou Xuan entered his own divine secret realm.

In the secret realm, he was still carrying the bride with the lantern on his back, and the incense hanging over his shoulder was only a little bit away from burning to two inches.

"The popularity of the paintings of gods is increasing quite quickly." Zhou Xuan sighed.

Perhaps it was because of swallowing the "Star Lord", Zhou Xuan felt that his divine secret realm had become more solid, the connection with himself had become closer, and its power had also become stronger.

The most obvious change was that he felt Shenqi was somewhat restless, and Feiyue in the secret realm was actually a little afraid.

The Scarlet Moon is the projection of the Blood Well.

When he was promoted to the second incense stick level, Shenqi had a good battle with Xuejing.

After the war, Shenqi and Xuejing reached a certain balance of order and lived in peace.

But this time, with the increase in the power of the Divine Secret Realm, this balance is showing signs of being broken.

"It probably won't be long before Shenqi and Xuejing will have a second confrontation?"

……

"boom!"

After the copper coin priest confirmed that what Zhou Xuan had comprehended was indeed the "Tree Clan Tattoo", he flew into a rage and slammed his fists hard on the table in the Human Skin Temple.
A startled scream of "Ah" was heard from under the desk.

He suddenly bent down and saw two tattoos under the desk.

The first tattoo is an eye, and the other is an ear.

When the Copper Coin Priest saw the two tattoos, he knew who was nearby.

"Find them out!"

The copper coin priest slammed his cane into the ground, and the copper coin tattoos on his body crawled out of his skin like two strings of reptiles. They used his body as a bridge and quickly crawled to the ground. Then they hid in the soil and crawled in all directions.

It makes no sound wherever it passes. While the copper coin is looking for the owner of its "ears and eyes", it is also avoiding their reverse reconnaissance.

Not long after, two bursts of children's screams were heard from the woods not far from the Human Skin Temple.

The copper coin priest walked over step by step, leaning on a cane.

In his body, there lies the Dharma body of the ancient tattoo clan's ancestor, and there is a huge tumor on his chest, so the way he walks is extremely strange.

Finally, when he was walking alone in the woods, he saw two children, a boy and a girl, whose faces and necks were covered with copper coin tattoos.

Once the copper coin was attached to the child, he knew he could not escape and could only sit there.

"Grandpa Copper Coin, we know we were wrong."

The boy knelt down and begged for mercy. He and the girl next to him were twins, a boy and a girl.

The boy is the older brother, named Shi Zhu, and the girl is the younger sister, named Shi Hong.

The copper coin priest glared at the brother and sister with resentment. He was angry and disappointed. He poked the ground several times with the cane in his hand: "Why are you two here?"
