"Big Brother … will this happen to us in the future?" Lu Zhenling asked softly, sobbing. She was truly frightened.
This was the first time she had seen something happen to someone. She had only heard about it before, but never saw it with her own eyes, so she didn't feel much. But this time was different. Second Elder was an experienced elder in the family. He had conducted the ceremony for many years, and had never made a mistake. This time, it was just one mistake, and he fell into the abyss and died on the spot.
This was a huge blow to both Lu Quan and Lu Zhenling.
"It won't happen … Don't worry, Big Brother is here," Lu Sheng comforted, and gently pulled his sister into his arms, patting her back.
However, he was thinking about something else.
What was the principle behind the selection and summoning of the Guardian Spirits? Especially summoning. If he could find an extremely powerful Guardian Spirit, would he be able to solve the problem of the seal being exposed once and for all?
He was also worried that if he directly strengthened his body, would he be able to solve the problem of the evil spirit in the seal? It seemed like the evil spirit was a pure energy type of existence.
"Looks like I still have to conduct a ceremony and communicate with the so-called Guardian Spirit. I'll make a decision after I understand it. I'll see if I can solve the evil spirit directly, and then try to solve the seal completely, "Lu Sheng made up his mind.
The failure of Second Elder's ceremony was quickly settled. Lu Dangfeng held a funeral and mourning ceremony for ten days, and everything returned to normal. It was as if nothing had happened.
As for Lu Sheng, after his body adapted to the strengthening of his Essence Qi, he practiced an unknown Essence Qi technique for ten days. Finally, after spending ten units of Mental Energy, he managed to turn all of his Essence Qi golden.
He named this golden Essence Qi the Snake level, to correspond to the powerful Snake level above the Bind level. On top of that, he used his Mental Energy to derive some of the external cultivation methods of the Eight-Headed Devil Way and improved them.
His strength and recovery, as well as the defense of his skin, all reached a frightening level.
After preparing everything, Lu Sheng finally began to quietly prepare for the ceremony to communicate with the Guardian Spirit in his room. After more than a year of research, he had already figured out the necessary conditions for the ritual, and his own ritual preparation was very smooth.
After lunch, he found an excuse to rest in the room and ordered the maids and servants to leave. Then, he began to arrange the materials that he had prepared a long time ago. At the same time, he laid the white blanket that he had made a long time ago on the ground, engraved with the patterns of the ritual.
Because he only had the power of one person, he could not summon many Protectors. At most, he could only summon a few. However, his goal was only to communicate with it. He didn't have to find a powerful Guardian Spirit.
Puff.
Lu Sheng gently lit the white candle in the dark room. He stepped back and stood in the middle of the carpet. He began to slowly sing a strange syllable that sounded like a scream. At the same time, he performed strange dance moves.
As the dance of sound continued, in the dark room, at the edge of the candlelight, some faintly discernible shadows slowly appeared.
These people stood outside the candlelight, quietly watching Lu Sheng's dance and listening to his voice.
As Lu Sheng performed the ritual, he observed these shadows. According to the records in the book, the way to choose a Guardian Spirit was to judge the darkness of these shadows.
"An even darker individual?"
Lu Sheng's gaze swept across the area. Very quickly, his gaze landed on a tall, muscular man with a head full of messy hair.
"You're the one!" He slowly changed the rhythm of the dance and connected his consciousness to the black shadow.
"Can you sign a contract with me?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Where's the gift? If you humans want a contract, shouldn't you give us a suitable gift? This is the ancient contract, "a rough, hoarse voice said slowly.
"What gift do you want?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Ten thousand of the most beautiful platinum flowers. I want this, if you can do it," the figure said in a low voice.
"I'll try." Lu Sheng slowly retracted his consciousness and ended the first communication ritual.
He stopped dancing. There were only about half of the white candle left. The flame also extinguished with the interruption of the dance. The surroundings fell into darkness.
The black shadows quickly disappeared into the darkness. It was impossible to tell where they went.
Lu Sheng quickly tidied up the room, then sat at the table and fell into deep thought.
"Each shadow's condition is different. No wonder Lu Dangfeng and the others would prepare different ritual items. "He stood up." Let's try something else and try again this time. "
He began the second ritual.
It was still dancing, candlelight, and shadows at the edge of the darkness. This time, Lu Sheng prepared the sacrificial gift.
Soon, a large number of shadows appeared.
After choosing a ritual dance, Lu Sheng walked to the candlelight and picked up a pot of prepared food.
"Whoever wants braised pig trotters, come here!"
"…"
The group of black shadows immediately stiffened.
Among the black shadows, a short figure secretly sneered.
"What does this guy think we are? Even his father wouldn't dare to be so rude. How dare he seduce us with a gift instead of satisfying our needs. "
"Looks like we have to teach him a lesson." Another shadow nodded.
"I'll go. Let him know that we Protectors can kill people too." A tall and skinny figure stepped forward.
"No. I'll go. " The first checkered shadow said calmly. "I haven't tasted human flesh in a long, long time …" He let out a low, sharp laugh.
The shadows around him instantly trembled slightly, as if they were all very wary of him.
Lu Sheng was still worried that he was going in the wrong direction. Why didn't any shadow respond after so long?
But soon, a short black figure slowly walked towards him, dispelling his doubts.
"I want braised pig trotters. But I'm very weak … "the shadow said.
"It's okay." Lu Sheng tried to smile as kindly as possible. "We're comrades. If you respond to me, I won't look down on you for being weak. Instead, I'll be grateful."
"Really?"
"Of course." Lu Sheng carefully handed over the braised pig trotters in his hand, and continued to sing the ritual song.
The black shadow looked at Lu Sheng, then carefully reached out with a black shadow and lightly grabbed the wooden basin. But he seemed to be hesitant and hesitant. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
"You really … don't mind?" The short shadow asked again.
"Of course. I can't wait to be happy. Why would I mind? "Lu Sheng smiled gently again.
The short black shadow swallowed, and his hand, which was hanging in the air, once again reached towards the wooden basin.
Just as it was about to touch the bowl, it suddenly stopped.
"I … I'm still a little worried …"
"There's nothing to worry about." Lu Sheng tried to make his smile as harmless as possible. "I'm a human. Even if a human has any intentions, they can't hurt you, right? So you don't have to be afraid. "
"But … but …"
"But what?"
"But I still feel like you're lying to me …" The short shadow hesitated. "Only if you can get closer to me. Otherwise, I won't believe you! "As long as the other party could leave the candlelight, he could drag him into the darkness and feast on him!
"A little closer? Sure, of course you can!" Lu Sheng took another step forward without hesitation.
But even though he took this step closer, the shadow had a feeling that the other party was more impatient than him.
"Alright … then … I'll take it?"
"Take it, take it!" Lu Sheng quickly moved the wooden bowl closer.
A black shadow appeared in the depths of the short man's shadow and reached for the wooden basin again.
"Wait!" He suddenly shouted again.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, and asked softly in his mind.
"I … I'm still a little … scared!"
"Then what other conditions do you have? You can state them all at once." Lu Sheng quickly asked.
"I … I … Come closer, I'll tell you secretly …" The short shadow said timidly.
"Okay … Okay, okay!!" Lu Sheng hurriedly inched closer.
"My condition is …" The short shadow was overjoyed. He separated a shadow from the side and quietly reached out to Lu Sheng.
"Boom!"
Before he could make the first move, a figure as hot as an oven rushed into the group of shadows!
"Hahahaha! Stop right there! Whoever runs will die! "
Lu Sheng was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He grabbed the small black shadow and tossed it behind him. His Spiritual Essence surrounded his body like white smoke. His terrifying strength was even stronger than a stampede of wild bulls. He grabbed the largest black shadow with his huge hand and tossed it back fiercely.
The group of shadows exploded. Many of them were enraged, and they rushed forward in a frenzy, trying to rush into Lu Sheng's body. But without exception, all the black shadows were blocked by some indescribable thing outside.
Lu Sheng caught them one by one, and threw them into the dim candlelight. In a few seconds, he threw more than ten shadows into the circle.
Entering the circle meant that they had signed a contract with the host of the ceremony.
These Protectors were all powerful, and their true forms were black smoke. No one had ever been able to fight them head-on. But who would have thought that they would meet a freak like Lu Sheng, whose strength was nothing to him.
Those who resisted were slapped on the spot, and after they became dizzy, they were also thrown into the candlelight circle.
"Contract! You've broken the ancient contract! "A shadow shouted.
Bam!
Lu Sheng went forward and slapped the guy, and the shadows all over his body exploded. Then, he grabbed his hair and threw him into the candlelight circle.
"Contract my ass! I've already given you a pot of braised pig trotters! "
The rest of the shadows were scared out of their wits, and quickly scattered in all directions. In the end, Lu Sheng had no choice but to return when he could not catch any more shadows. He stared at the shadows in the candlelight.
A total of eighteen shadows stood blankly in the candlelight circle, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
"Not bad, not bad. This also proves that, be it the Protectors or the Evil Spirits, they should all be able to be contacted. That makes things easier. "Lu Sheng was satisfied, and returned to the candlelight circle.
"Do any of you know how to deal with the Evil Spirits?" He looked at the shadows with his consciousness, and asked them.
No one answered.
Lu Sheng laughed coldly.
"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin …" He could basically confirm that these so-called black shadows were special lifeforms similar to energy bodies. It was just that due to some opportunities, they could communicate with humans and exchange benefits.
Since they were life forms, they would die.
"You're dead!" The small shadow's cold consciousness was transmitted.
"If you offend us, no more Protectors will help you deal with the Evil Spirits. Absolutely not! "Another black shadow said coldly.
"Kill us if you have the guts, or let us go and find gifts to apologize, or you can commit suicide," the third shadow said coldly.
"Commit suicide?" Lu Sheng laughed coldly.
Bam!!
He fiercely punched the last black figure who spoke.
After a soft sound, the shadow twisted, and suddenly exploded, scattering into countless shadows that disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Sheng used the power of his spirit in this punch. At the same time he punched, his spirit condensed into a sharp needle, and pierced into the other's consciousness.
The spirit of a Divine Lord could even distort reality to a certain extent, let alone this kind of basic spirit attack.
Combined with the punch, the shadow was scattered on the spot, and completely turned into the most primitive darkness, and disappeared.
