Life Hunter

Wu Zhao walked three steps in front of the cow, recited a mantra, and scratched the cow's chest.

The cow's chest collapsed slightly, and there was a bloody cow heart in his hand.

Li Qingxian took the ox heart and walked to the dug hole. He wrapped the ox heart and tail in a bag, put them into the hole, and filled them in with a shovel himself.

"The dog represents loyalty, the sheep represents filial piety, and the cow represents kindness. The cow's head leads the way, the cow's tail returns to the soul, and the cow's heart reincarnates."

After Li Qingxian finished speaking, he buried the hole, placed the cow grave tablet, and softly recited the requiem mantra.

After reciting the requiem curse three times, Li Qingxian walked to the seven cow blood bowls, put the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand together, pressed into the seven bowls and lifted them up, and finally used three fingers stained with cow blood to His forehead was streaked horizontally, blood dyed his eyebrows red, and slid down the bridge of his nose and sides.

Pick up the blood-stained red cloth and wrap it with two horns.

Tie one end of the long blood-stained red rope to the horns and the other end to the body of the cow.

Finally, wash your hands in a bowl of clean water.

After preparing everything, Li Qingxian took a deep breath and looked forward.

Gray fog shrouded the sky and the earth, and the houses on both sides of the road were like black peaks blocking people's hearts.

Zhou Chunfeng was still standing still.

Li Qingxian arranged the seven ox blood bowls in the shape of the Big Dipper. He held seven white candles in his left hand and said, "Master Wu, next I will cast a spell to light the seven candles. This process consumes the most mana. Thank you for your work."

"Don't worry about casting the spell." Wu Zhao said, stepping forward and placing his right hand on the back of Li Qingxian's heart. A breeze blew by, making the clothes of the two of them rustle.

Feeling the rapid filling of mana in his body, Li Qingxian took a white candle in his right hand, held it up in front of him, and recited the incantation of the Ox-Breaking Technique.

"The star lamp shines on the earth, the eyes are connected with the candle, guiding the ox to guide the way, connecting the blood to transform the evil, the eastern general, the southern envoy, the western hero, the northern judge, the hole shines in all directions, rising to the sky and falling to the ground, rushing like the law. !”

After reciting the incantation, Li Qingxian felt that his whole body was instantly emptied of mana, pouring into the white candle in his right hand.

The white candle is lit, and the candle flame is faintly blue.

Li Qingxian bent down and placed the candle in the bowl of ox blood.

The candle does not sink into the blood, floats on it, and remains stable.

Feeling Wu Zhao's continuous mana, Li Qingxian chanted the spell again.

After casting the spell seven times, at the moment when the seventh ox-blood bowl candle was formed, a blue line of fire suddenly appeared between the seven lights, connecting the seven blue candles into the Big Dipper.

The red blood bowl, the blue candlelight, and the surrounding gray fog slowly recede.

"Always follow me." Li Qingxian said.

Li Qingxian picked up the cow's head with his left hand, grabbed the cow's left front hoof with his right hand, and dragged the cow's body towards Zhou Chunfeng.

Wu Zhao followed closely, his palm pressed against Li Qingxian's back.

Walking ten feet away behind Zhou Chunfeng, Zhou Chunfeng said: "If you fail, you may end up like me."

"This is what it is."

After Li Qingxian finished speaking, he passed Zhou Chunfeng and arrived at the junction of the black road and the black-haired white road.

Throw the cow's head to the left side of the road with your left hand, and throw the cow's body to the right side of the road with your right hand.

The red rope between the head and body falls on the black hair on the white ground, swinging gently with the black hair.

The road separates the head and body, and the red rope connects them.

Li Qingxian recited the cow-breaking spell.

The spell came true, the wind blew strong, the fog in the sky cleared, and the stars filled the sky.

"Moo..."

The dead cow's head floated into the air, and its body twisted and stood up.

The red line between the bull's head and its body stretched straight in mid-air.

The bull's head turned slowly, and his pale eyes glanced at Li Qingxian, then looked at Wu Zhao.

"Please ask Niu Luxian to lead the way." Li Qingxian bowed.

The bull's head twisted a few times, and the red cloth on its horns made a popping sound. It turned around and faced Santu Mountain and Huangquan Gate.

"Moo..."

The cow's head raised its head to the sky and screamed, drifting forward slowly. The cow's body stepped on the loess of the ground and moved forward slowly.

The red rope between the head and body was dripping with blood. Wherever the blood fell, the black hair withered and the white road was stained black.

Everyone watched silently as the body of the separated cow slowly moved forward until it reached the threshold.

"Moo..."

The cow's head and body fell together, and fell to the ground, twitching a few times and making no sound.

The white path between the black path and the threshold disappears.

The white road between the threshold and Huangquan Gate remains the same.

"Good boy! Li Qilin'er!" Wu Zhao couldn't help but slap Li Qingxian on the shoulder.

"You really have a talent for life magic. Once you solve the no-loop circuit, you can go back and forth freely." Zhou Chunfeng walked over with a smile.

Li Qingxian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's a lucky thing. If Master Wu wasn't here, even if he knew how to cut the cow, he wouldn't be able to perform it."

"Stop being modest, I'll take care of Santu Mountain!"

Wu Zhao strode forward and stopped in front of three thresholds.

He first took out a water-patterned copper pot and poured it on the door frame. Then he took out the four-color flags to set up an array. While reciting a spell, he threw eighteen lightning strike peach wood tokens around. Then he took out the soul-suppressing magic bell and Bugang. Stepping into a fight, walking in a daze while chanting various incantations and constantly throwing various magic weapons.

After a full quarter of an hour, he was sweating profusely, and white mist was steaming above his head.

"disease!"

Wu Zhao turned his back to everyone, his clothes were billowing, his long hair was floating, and flames suddenly shot out from the soles of his feet, covering him like a burning man.

He stepped forward, fire flowing from his body like water.

The moment he stepped into the threshold of Santu Mountain, flames instantly surrounded the stone door frame and the threshold of Santu Mountain.

Wherever my feet hit the ground, the white road turned black.

One step at a time.

Finally, Santu Mountain slowly sank into the ground, and Wu Zhao walked to the gate of Huangquan, the white road ending with ink.

"call……"

Wu Zhao let out a long breath, the flames dissipated, turned around and walked back.

Originally three strands of dark beard, one third was dyed white.

"Old Wu..." Zhou Chunfeng sighed.

Only then did Li Qingxian understand that the Santu Mountain was not so easy to solve and would consume his life.

Wu Zhao walked back with a smile and said: "I can only go so far. As for the Underworld Gate, I am helpless. However, after solving the two tricks, if I have to break through the Underworld Gate in the end, the price will be much smaller. Let's not rush. , it’s still some time before the first Huangquan ship arrives, I’ll call everyone together and tell everyone what they know, maybe someone can come up with a solution to the mystery.”

Wu Zhao took out a copper whistle and blew it.

After a while, the men of the Prison Division who were surrounded by strange terrain came and gathered hundreds of people, including two fourth-grade martial arts cultivators who served as the Chief of the Division.

Wu Zhao ordered all the jailers to enter the prison and announced to the prisoners that this place was surrounded by the Underworld Gate. Everyone was a treacherous person. If the prisoner could figure out a way to unlock the Underworld Gate, his sentence would be reduced and he would receive preferential treatment in the Prison Department.

The jailers dispersed, and Wu Zhao said: "Don't hide it, everyone. You have already been tricked. There is no need to worry. Tell everything you have heard about the strange monster and strange land."

After everyone thought for a while, they talked about all kinds of things related to the strange place.

Li Qingxian listened carefully, and when he encountered important content, he recorded it in French on the mourning platform.

As time passed slowly, Li Qingxian heard more and more strange things.

Until he heard someone talking about "the method of solving the mystery of the destiny star", Li Qingxian thought of a way to solve the mystery.

"The destiny star's trick-solving method sounds wonderful, but as Sister Youfei said, any spell has an essence and a way. According to what I have learned, the destiny star's trick-solving method is actually a sacrificial method. It means to sacrifice the life stars to Emperor Huangquan to replace the twelve dead people. Generally, life magicians don't have so many extra life stars. When suddenly encountering this kind of situation, they don't have that much time to sacrifice their lives, so they can only sacrifice their own life stars. But every time a life star is sacrificed, part of the lifespan will be lost, and it cannot survive four sacrifices. Only those great life magicians who have reserved life stars can use this method."

Li Qingxian thought about it, and if he took action, he would find a way to cover it up.
