Chapter 13: The Dangers of Witchcraft
In an instant, Tao Xiaowu's hairs stood up.
Hallucination or?
However, last time, Tao Xiaowu already had experience, he was calm in the face of danger, calm his mind, and finished the spell word for word.
As Tao Xiaowu finished reciting the last word of the incantation, the rotting corpse suddenly revealed an angry look and roared.
The illusion was shattered at this moment, and there was a loud noise in the room of the Xu family girl, as well as a scream of fear.
Then the whole roof seemed to be washed up by some updraft, and the compacted thatch and tiles flew around!
Inside and outside the courtyard of the Xu family, looking at the lively crowd, hugging their heads and scurrying. Some have already been beaten on the head and bleeding!
Fortunately, it was all of a sudden, and then the surroundings were completely quiet.
The girl of the Xu family in the room has fainted!
The water ghost possessed by her body has been driven away.
The Xu family is very grateful to Tao Xiaowu!
The other people who went up and down the water near the water, seeing the scene just now, all said that Tao Xiaowu's witchcraft was so powerful.
At this moment, Tao Xiaowu is already in awe of his bones!
However, at this time, Tao Xiaowu was cold and full of fear: "He wants to kill me, he really wants to kill me...... If I had been scared, the spell had been wrong for a word, or there was a pause, I would have died!"
......
The so-called ghost of the water is also known as the god of the water.
Nowadays, there is no distinction between ghosts and gods, and they have power beyond the mundane, and they are often called ghosts and gods!
Of course, of course, there is another theory, that is, the obscenity of evil gods who have not been canonized and recognized is called ghosts.
And those who are recognized by heaven and man, and those who build temples and worship are called gods!
Of course, it doesn't mean that all ghosts are ghosts and gods.
For example, the drowned ghost is a ghost thing drowned in the river, and like the legend of Tao Xiaowu in his previous life, this kind of ghost thing often likes to find a stand-in.
However, these are not the key.
The key is that Tao Xiaowu can clearly feel that when he casts a spell and summons the ghost of the water, the ghost of the water is crazy with killing intent!
It wants Tao Xiaowu to die!
After returning to Wuli, Tao Xiaowu fell seriously ill, and the whole person was hot and cold, and he started to swing.
Fortunately, Wu Cheng poured him a bowl of medicinal soup made from something he didn't know, and he sweated and recovered.
But thinking about it, Wu Cheng has always used something to boil witch medicine, and he has a feeling of nausea.
After recovering from his illness, Tao Xiaowu's body still had a very weak feeling.
It's as if the body is hollowed out!
But fortunately, he was young and recovered after seven or eight days of rest.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu vaguely knew that this should be a side effect of witchcraft!
"No wonder Master Wu Cheng is sick like this, he is not too old, but he is only in his fifties.
When I first met him, I thought he was seventy or eighty years old!"
These days, Tao Xiaowu still came to the gloomy old mansion in his dreams, to the room with corpses and many Danjing Taoist books.
It's just a pity that every time Tao Xiaowu goes in, he enters Baoshan empty.
Because, all the books were in the glass bookcase, and he couldn't take them out.
And the only book that fell to the ground, he couldn't turn the page.
In the meantime, more than a month has passed.
Wu Cheng's health is getting worse and worse.
Especially on this night, Tao Xiaowu woke up from that dream and heard the heart-rending wheezing sound next door.
Tao Xiaowu had never heard of this Wu Cheng's cough in such pain, and a sense of ominousness arose in his heart, and he hurriedly dressed and went out to check.
saw that Wu Cheng's whole person coughing was curled up in a ball on the bed.
Seeing Tao Xiaowu, Wu Cheng seemed to reluctantly want to say something, but the huge pain had already made him speechless......
When the Night Witch was gone, it was in the middle of the night!
After Wu Cheng coughed, he finally fell asleep, and Tao Xiaowu thought that his symptoms were relieved.
The next morning, someone next door made breakfast and sent it, and when Tao Xiaowu went to wake up the master, it was only then that Wu Cheng had already gone.
Tao Xiaowu knew that Wu Chengcheng would not be long in coming, but he didn't expect that he would die that night.
After burying Wu Cheng, Tao Xiaowu took over everything in this courtyard and truly became the owner of this place.
However, Tao Xiaowu's heart is somewhat empty, how can people be ruthless?
Since Tao Xiaowu was taken in by Wu Cheng, the two have been in contact for almost half a year, and Wu Cheng is not bad for Tao Xiaowu.
Suddenly, Wu Cheng left. Of course, it will also make Tao Xiaowu's heart empty......
In particular, Wu Cheng's funeral was very quiet, and no guests came at all.
Only a few other families in the witch lane came to attend the funeral.
What made Tao Xiaowu feel cold was that as soon as Wu Cheng died, Qiu Yuan showed a look of not taking him in his eyes at all.
Even if Tao Xiaowu had been mentally prepared for a long time, seeing Qiu Yuan's attitude still made his heart sink!
In addition to these heavy things, of course, there are also some things that make Tao Xiaowu feel happy and comforted.
That is, Wu Cheng also left Tao Xiaowu such a big mansion and an inheritance of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
At the beginning, Tao Xiaowu was just a bum, pretending to be a wizard to cheat on food and drink.
And now, Tao Xiaowu has not only inherited so much inheritance.
According to the division of the government, it can already be regarded as a home of the Chinese.
And there is also the foundation of living in this world, and a skill.
Of course, Tao Xiaowu is very grateful to Wu Cheng!
However, Tao Xiaowu has a very fearful psychology of witchcraft.
He vaguely knew that witchcraft had very strong sequelae, and even had a huge backlash. One is not good, and when you perform witchcraft, you will die.
Even if you suppress the backlash, the consumption of the body is huge.
It is said that almost none of the wizards in this vein have lived past the age of sixty!
This is still the work of witch medicine to continue his life, if it weren't for Wu Cheng's mastery of witch medicine, I'm afraid he would have died ten years earlier.
Tao Xiaowu has a strong urge to get out and stop being a wizard.
But he also understood that he really had nowhere to go.
Not to mention the things he promised Wu Cheng, just say that he is no longer a wizard, what can he do in this strange world?
This world is full of households, and the household registration management is much stricter than that of the previous Celestial Empire.
In the previous life, the Celestial Empire still had a large number of floating populations, but there was no such thing as floating populations in this world, and everyone was firmly bound to the land.
Even if you go to business, you have to be suppressed by the government, and you also have a business status management.
Therefore, Tao Xiaowu, an outsider with no identity, really can't do anything without the wizard profession.
