??
I have seen many lightning flashes, once recently just a few dozen meters away from me, but I have never seen spherical lightning.
Mutually jumping lightning suddenly began to gather in the sky on the mountain top, they constantly collided with each other, and the low roar of thunder was like thousands of horses and soldiers trampling by, at that time the strong wind was blowing wildly, people could hardly stand still, only those small flags were shaking and standing upright against the wind.
Zha Wenbin slowly raised the command flag in his left hand, and with his right hand holding a precious sword, he stood upright towards the sky. The strong wind made it hard for him to open his eyes, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the wild wind blew his cheeks out of shape. Astonishingly, he swung the command flag in his hand to the left and shouted loudly: "Eastern Green Dragon, essence of Angle Kui! Spit out clouds and thick air, shout thunder and make a loud noise! Fly across the eight extremes, travel around the four oceans, come and stand on my left!"
With a "whoosh", the small flag beside me suddenly came to life and shot out, less than half a meter high, and with a loud "boom" it transformed into a ball of flames. At this moment, Cha Wenbin's face had turned somewhat pale, after all he was still young, and this move had already drained about a third of his energy, Ye Qiu supported him with an extra hand, I saw that when the two idiots turned around, there were faint traces of blood at the corners of their mouths again, and the scratches on Er Dai's neck had started to turn black.
The three of us are now like straw blown away by the wind, Yuan Xiaobai can only be held tightly in my arms, Gu Lao is also stuck to me, and I feel nauseous and uncomfortable, with my stomach churning like a stormy sea.
Zha Wenbin didn't rest, and with a burst of energy, he waved the small flag to the right again, shouting loudly: "Western White Tiger, responding to the Dipper! Elegant and refined, solemn and clear sound. Intimidating birds and beasts, stirring up mountains and forests, come stand on my right!"
That little white flag flew up again, burning once more. At this moment, I suddenly felt the strong winds around me weaken, and the mixture that had just rushed to my throat was swallowed back down. However, this good feeling lasted for less than a few seconds. The next moment, an even more unbearable feeling came again. Around us, small green dots began to appear non-stop. These green, oily things suddenly emerged from the ground one after another, jumping up and down.
"Divine light is shining brightly, ghostly fire is flickering, this is the Ghost Lantern!" Gu Qing stretched out his hand with a tremble, supporting his already nearly collapsing body: "He... he, he's almost reached his limit!"
I looked up at Cha Wenbin, and indeed, he was like a madman at this moment. I don't know what happened to him, but it felt like his whiskers all came out in an instant, his hair was disheveled and dancing wildly in the wind, and he suddenly looked more than ten years older.
"Are you okay?!" I shouted at Cha Wenbin with my hands cupped around my mouth.
"The Southern Vermilion Bird, the leader of all birds. Born from the crimson cave, echoing in the azure sky. With strange colors and six divine symbols, it guides me forward!" His tone was much softer than before, I could only vaguely hear the general idea. As expected, the small red flag on the ground first swayed back and forth a few times without flying up like before, and Zhang Wenbin himself also started to sway back and forth, my heart suddenly rose to my throat, what a predicament.
The Taoist's biggest taboo when opening the altar is insufficient energy, but Cha Wenbin is not unable to keep up with his energy, it's just that these four weeks are now a ghostly gate, and the nine yin qi is flourishing to its peak. It's like a young man sleeping on an isolated grave, at most feeling tired the next day, but he has entered a chaotic burial ground, and is being attacked from all sides by those things. Doing rituals requires consuming a lot of essence, and now it also needs to use yang energy to defend against the yin evil spirits that are ready to pounce at any time, Cha Wenbin has only been cultivating for over a decade, even in the past he didn't have the qualifications to go down the mountain, how could he have seen such a scene.
At this moment, Cha Wenbin suddenly bit his tongue and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the tip of his tongue, shooting towards the small flag in his hand. After that, the red small flag was like being ignited by a firework, suddenly rising into the air. Coincidentally, just as the first flash of lightning struck down, it hit the small flag right on target, exploding with a loud "boom" sound, and those green ghost lanterns floating nearby were immediately blown away.
I saw Cha Wenbin stumble and almost fall, but he took a deep breath, held the Seven-Star Sword in his left hand and swiped it across his middle finger, cutting it open. This guy was now like a madman, with blood all over his body, face, and hands. I saw him wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, trembling slightly, then he wiped his hand on the sword again, his ferocious appearance sending chills down my spine. Suddenly, he let out a loud cry: "Ah!"
This roar completely drove him crazy, the long sword in his hand fiercely stabbed into the ground, the five-colored small flag fluttered in the air with a swing, crossed left and right, and after taking a "T"-shaped stance, he shouted: "North Xuanwu, Taiyin transforms life. Virtual danger shows quality, turtle-snake combined shape. Wandering through the nine lands, governing all spirits, follow me from behind!"
The flag points down, and the five-colored flag is thrown into the air. Zhang Wenbin turns around, sits down with his legs crossed, closes his eyes, and places his sword horizontally on his knees. Suddenly, he raises both hands to catch the falling small flag, joins his palms together in front of his chest, bows his head, and recites silently: "The Supreme has a decree, announcing it to all spirits. The heavenly general commands, unifying the heavenly army, beating the heavenly drum, raising the heavenly banner, waving the golden star, throwing the fire bell, capturing the invisible, searching for the inaudible, rectifying the Taiji stage, sweeping away the evil wind at the ten extremes, spreading the true energy throughout the eight trigrams. The heavenly truth descends, the divine light ascends, the demonic spirits hide their tracks, the monsters are annihilated, the nine heavens report their orders, and the ten thousand gods obey. Hurry, hurry, as if by imperial decree!"
This is the Tianzheng Sect's endless golden talisman, Zhongsha Sword Curse. Cha Wenbin was able to recite the sect's incantations at the age of eight, but being able to recite doesn't mean he can use it. This Zhongsha Sword Curse, Ma Suifeng could barely use it for the first time at the age of 35, and his master Ling Zhengyang also used it for the first time when he was 28 years old. Cha Wenbin is only in his early twenties, and the consequences of forcing himself to use this curse are unthinkable.
Because when chanting mantras, it is often required to unify the internal energy with the imagined divine image in mind. Taoism believes that this can make the internal energy work on the object, making it controllable, or causing corresponding changes. This method is also called incantation, and the method of qi prohibition has been used in ancient Chinese witchcraft.
As for why the Taoist incantations have an explanation of mobilizing natural forces, it is currently unknown. This ancient language similar to poetry has been widely spread in China 5,000 years ago. Not only in China, but also among indigenous peoples in Africa, Europe and South America, there are similar incantations. I once asked Zhang Wenbin about the meaning of these incantations, but he didn't know either. In short, the rhythm, tone and length of the incantation are all fixed, and one mistake is not allowed.
The greater the power, the more it cannot be used lightly. This is just like how humans taking too much from nature will lead to punishment from nature. Using a mortal body of flesh and blood to forcibly mobilize the five elements around us and the divine power bestowed by heaven, the consequences of doing so are undoubtedly using one's own life as a sacrifice.
A loud rumble, the electric ball in the air burst like a bomb, countless intersecting lightning bolts poured down from the center, fiercely smashing into the ground.
For a moment, the sky and earth seemed to be illuminated by the sun, and the continuous lightning made people in this area of hundreds of miles raise their heads to gaze. No one knew what happened on the towering Lion Peak, but that night, people from several surrounding towns couldn't sleep, many heard their deceased loved ones crying, while I saw the scorched earth around me, the thunderstorm centered on Cha Wenbin struck Lion Peak repeatedly, I was so scared that I couldn't open my eyes, and could only tightly hug Yuan Xiaobai who had already lost consciousness.
After the dust settled, what was left was a vast expanse of desolation. I didn't dare open my eyes until I heard complete silence around me. At this moment, Cha Wenbin was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if he had entered a meditative state like an old monk.
I crawled and rolled towards him, grabbed his shoulders tightly and roared: "How about it? Can you say something?"
With a "thud", Ye Qiu, who was beside him, fell to the ground. What's wrong with this guy? I turned my head to look and his face was facing me. The whole person had completely lost the coldness of before. Now Ye Qiu looked just like someone who had crawled out of a coal mine - from head to toe he was pitch black, his clothes were tattered as if they had been blasted by shrapnel, and the exposed muscles were full of burns.
I saw him smile, a faint smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This was the first time I had seen this person smile, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know what to do, I'm afraid the person in front of me will be like him too. So I shook Cha Wenbin desperately and shouted loudly: "Wake up, wake up! He's not going to make it, Ye Qiu is going to die!"
I don't know if it was because I shook him too hard or if Zhang Wenbin's mouth had reached its limit, but with a "pu" sound, he spat out blood and water, splashing me. Slowly, he began to open his eyes and said, "It was him who blocked that one for me."
Seeing him wake up, Yuan Xiaobai rushed over with tears in her eyes, tightly grasping his hand and wiping the blood foam from his mouth, completely panicked, repeatedly asking.
Cha Wenbin looked at me weakly and said: "I'm fine, give him some water, quick..."
"Alright, alright." I was searching for the kettle everywhere but it had already gone missing. In my anxiety, I lost my composure for a moment. Unexpectedly, I saw Gu Qinghe giving water to Ye Qiu. This old man's movements were indeed very quick. He gently laid Ye Qiu's head flat and said to me: "Xia brother, go get a knife and scrape some bamboo shavings to apply to his wound, first stop the bleeding, this child is too heavily injured."
"Alright." I hastily went to carry it out, and as I was walking away, I vaguely heard Cha Wenbin say to Gu Qinghe: "I'm afraid Old Gu is one of our people, how could he recognize the Earthly Fiend Heavenly Seal?"
I stopped and wanted to see how he would explain, Gu Qinghe walked lightly to Zha Wenbin's side and said: "Using one's body to attract lightning, aren't you afraid of being shocked until your soul flies away?"
"Hmph, I didn't have a choice, it's just... He looked up at Ye Qiu beside him: "It should be me who bears the consequences."
