Chapter 32: The Ritual

When Su Yan sent the centipede egg soup to the Shao family, both Wen Yuefeng and Aunt He's thoughts were happy, but they didn't look forward to it.

"Eh, Ah Yan actually thought of sending me something!"

Aunt Wen carefully held the thermos pot in her arms, sat in a wheelchair, and smiled very happily - of course, she didn't mean to open it and taste it, but it was a bit like she wanted to keep it as a treasure.

This is not surprising, after all, a large part of Su Yan's cooking skills were learned from Aunt He, the level, not good or bad, at least for peers, it is above the level, but if it is compared to a professional like Aunt He, it is too far behind, plus Wen Yuefeng has not had a very good appetite because of physical reasons, and after eating, he naturally doesn't want to drink soup very much.

"Aunt Wen, don't hold it, you remember to take a sip - I'll take it away from Qiming."

Su Sun didn't explain much, anyway, when the time came, they would understand after tasting it: "Let's go for a walk in Hongcheng County and take a turn." ”

"Then pay attention to safety, if you have a conflict with someone on the road, be careful not to hit too hard and hurt someone."

It was this kind of worrying counsel that I was given.

"Cut, what a walk, this reason is terrible!"

Hearing the voice, Shao Shuangyue, who was about to go downstairs to see the situation, puffed out her cheeks at the stairs, and there was disdain in her heart: "I guess I went to see something like 'the legendary well that can travel through time and space', 'the dense forest where ogres and demons appeared in ancient times'?" ”

"These two big men don't play games either, and they know how to go out every day, it's weird."

Thinking of this, when she was about to go back to continue the difficult action game, Shao Shuangyue heard her mother's greeting.

"Frost Moon, come and taste the soup that your brother boiled!"

"Huh? The soup he boiled? ”

Like Wen Yuefeng, the black long straight beautiful girl doesn't believe in Su Day's craftsmanship very much - although the Coke chicken wings he made last time tasted great, anyone can make Coke chicken wings!

"Well, it shouldn't taste bad anyway...... Just give him a face. ”

Although she thought so, when Shao Shuangyue really poured out a bowl of bright green soup from the thermos pot, she was still completely stunned: "Hey, this color is wrong!" This is simply chopped up green skin and boiled with evil energy! Is this my fate...... Wait, there's still goji berries?! ”

"I, Shao Shuangyue, will starve to death, die outside, jump from here, and I will never drink this bowl of soup!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It smells so good!"

Su Day, who successfully made one person achieve the law of true incense, had already traveled to Hongzhou County with Shao Qiming by private car.

This time, their destination was Shao Qiming's family's old house in Hongzhou County.

This old house was built when Hongcheng County was not completely modernized, a typical high-walled small building, which was originally used by Shao Qiming's grandfather to escape the summer in a clean place, but because of the appearance of air conditioning, no one would be bored and run outside the city to escape the heat.

Usually no one lives in that place, and there are even haunted rumors in the local area, but after Su Yan took Shao Qiming to explore this place a few years ago, this old house has become a secret base for them to place all kinds of strange things about folklore and other strange things.

Shao Qiming opened the courtyard door, walked through the courtyard full of weeds, and the two walked into the old house, Su Tian saw that there were several large boxes placed in the living room, with notes on them.

"I asked them to send the materials directly here, so we don't have to do it ourselves."

While explaining, Shao Qiming turned on the light, he asked Su Sun to pick up the boxes, and he opened the door to the basement himself.

Shao Qiming's expression at this time was even more eager than Su Tian's: "How is it?" Ah Yan, do you want to start now, or do you want to wait until the right time? ”

"What else do you need to say?" And Su Day, who opened the box and saw the silver nuggets and gold pieces placed inside, showed an excited smile: "Of course it's starting now!" ”

Walking down the stairs, you can see that the four walls of the basement of the old house are plastered with all kinds of anecdotes, which are the newspapers and magazine stickers that Su Sun and Shao Qiming have been collecting for nearly ten years.

In the corner of the wall, there are many strange things collected, such as "a doll that is rumored to move by itself in the middle of the night", "an oil painting that is rumored to open and close its own eyes", "a music box that is rumored to make a wailing in the middle of the night", or "an ancient sword rumored to be stained with demon blood......

Anyway, Su Yan didn't feel that these things were wonderful after playing for most of the summer vacation, and he was so angry that he almost burned all these things for him with a fire, and the ashes were all raised for him.

But if it's now...... Su Sun thought so, and then turned on the spiritual vision.

Then he saw the shadows of seven or eight spirits hurrying away.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's true?! He couldn't help but be speechless: "Then why didn't I have any supernatural when I was there?!" ”

"Then they have to dare." Yala was also speechless: "You were originally equipped with the blood of the dragon, and ordinary spirits saw you all take a detour, especially this kind of boarding spirit who likes to be funny, and it is really a blood mold for eight lifetimes that you have collected, and you are usually afraid that you will not move or dare to move, so you can only tremble." ”

And Shao Qiming, who heard the conversation between Su Sun and Yara, was also shocked: "Did you actually collect the real thing?" What about this 'pencil rumored to help people write their homework automatically'......"

"No, this one is fake."

"Oh."

The location of the basement is very spacious, especially the slightly concave piece in the middle, it seems that it is the place where some large objects were placed at the beginning, it is very convenient to draw the magic circle, Su Tian and Shao Qiming also did a lot of rituals here, but of course they all failed.

But now, it's different.

First, a circle with a diameter of three meters is drawn on the ground, representing the spiritual base of the Ouroboros, and then thirty-six runes are inscribed in clockwise order, representing the thirty-six cycles of the Great Mysteries.

The silver ingots are then taken out of the box and placed in the center of the ring, instilled with spiritual power in the name of the oracle recitation order and moonlight, and the silver ingots will automatically melt into a liquid state in the array, and finally solidify into a thin sheet the same size as the previous ring, and the previously engraved runes will be reflected on the silver plate.

The purple-blue spiritual light shone in the basement, and Shao Qiming sat aside, holding his breath, staring at the scene that really appeared in front of his eyes, representing 'spirituality and transcendence'.

He watched Su Sun close his eyes and meditate, communicating the spirituality of all things around him, he stared at Su Sun inscribed runes, exerting spiritual power, causing the yellow block to automatically melt and stretch into gold wires, and outline the foundation and runes of the magic circle according to his will.

Although they have done similar things in the past, there has never been a time that can be compared to this time, as if distant history has crossed the moat and come to the reality in front of them...... 'mysterious' has never felt so 'real'!

Shao Qiming, who was emotional, could see that in just ten minutes, a three-meter-diameter array composed of silver and gold, full of mysterious runes, appeared in front of his eyesβ€”and his friend picked up a large jar filled with mercury, he recited the holy words aloud, and splashed man-made diamonds around, and all the diamonds spontaneously ignited out of thin air before they landed, turning into the purest spiritual fire, burning around the magic circle.

In the end, Su Sun poured the jar of essentia metal that had become holy for some reason into the magic circle, turning it into a sparkling mirror of the other world.

Shao Qiming could even clearly see the black shadow on his chest and the shining holy light from the reflection of this mercury mirror.

"Qiming, help hand me the gem."

Coming back to his senses, Shao Qiming heard Su Sun's voice, at this time he was standing in the center of the magic circle, the mercury that should have been like a liquid, at this time it firmly supported his weight, causing concentric circles-like ripples to echo on the silver mirror.

The golden and silver aura was mixed with the purple and cyan aura, turning into overlapping circular ripples, reflecting on the black-haired boy's body, giving Su Day's figure a strange cycle, a sense of tranquility and holiness.

Shao Qiming was a little stunned for a while, and after a while he came back to his senses and threw the few gems he had been holding in his hand to the other party.

First, there is a star sapphire.

The corresponding power of sapphire represents firmness, love and sincerity, and the star sapphire with white crosses is also known as the 'stone of destiny', which has the power to bless the wearer with peace and good luck to a certain extent. Inspired by rituals, the power within the sapphire can be transformed into a strong guardian against darkness, evil, and madness.

In other words, it is easier to understand, that is, it can avoid most of the debuffs and malicious damage, and it is a necessary thing to increase the success rate of various secret rituals.

"Most of these advanced materials of yours come from the corpses of your enemies, which certainly contain aura and various transcendent qualities, but they also contain resentment and need it to protect your spirituality."

Yala's faint voice sounded at this time, and at this time, Su Sun picked up the second gem again.

It was a near-perfect white crystal.

"White crystal corresponds to the human spirit and can be used to enhance spirituality, make the mind clear and refreshed...... In my ritual, it represents balance and completeness, which can greatly enhance the completion of the ritual if it is successful. ”

A quiet and holy voice spoke, and Yara instructed Su Sun to place the gem in the relevant position of the circle.

Four cyan jade beads from the leaders of the prayer congregation are placed in the four directions of the circle, representing the 'perfection of the four directions'.

The white crystal is placed behind the direction of the person's face and represents 'spirituality'.

The sapphire is placed in front of the face of the person, representing 'guardianship'.

The demon crystal, which contains the 'breath of greatness', is pressed on the center of the eyebrows, representing the 'power of the self'.

And in the end, Su Sun raised his left thumb and bit it down hardβ€”a drop of blood as heavy as mercury, containing blue-purple aura, dripped and submerged into the mirror made of mercury.

At this moment, Shao Qiming felt a static electricity sweeping over his body, he seemed to see something, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and murmur in a low voice.

"Dragon ......"

It was a chaotic, like a great serpent with a tail and a ring headed by all the stars, winding and circling, like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon and not a dragon, and it swirled like a ring behind its best friend.

- The blood of men, the blood of snakes, the blood of dragons, the blood of mysteries, the blood of circulation and balance -

- Everything is ready.

The wind that was born out of thin air howled in the basement, and there were faint cyan thunders and purple shadows flickering, and spiritual songs were praised, like flutes and shouts in the distance.

Su Sun, who had done all this, closed his eyes, and he put the demon crystal on his forehead.

And the circle lit up here.
