Willow Spirit Child

The fish-scale-like clouds in the sky, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, displayed a gradient of colors.

From the most vibrant, crimson-like red of the west, it transitions to orange-red, golden yellow, and finally to the pale white above the midday sky.

A car was parked under a large tree by the pond.

The beautiful sky was reflected on the car's windshield, but the two men in the driver and passenger seats seemed completely out of place amidst the scenery.

Li Kang, in the driver's seat, had thick hair and a slightly curly beard, but a stitched scar ran from the right side of his mouth to his ear.

The passenger in the front seat A Luo, was rather short and wore a denim jacket. His eyes darted around, and when he fixed his gaze on something, he always gave off a vicious feeling.

Would killing Fang Jun really be useful?

A Luo stared at the house about fifty meters away. "Nie Longding has a biological daughter and more than a dozen adopted children. This Fang Jun doesn't even manage anything in his business. How much weight does he hold in his heart?"

Sitting in the back Su Ha had fine, soft hair, red lips, and white teeth, looking like she could participate in a talent show. However, her hands were inside a black plastic bag, kneading bone-white powder.

"The man surnamed Nie is the gambling king. He made his fortune and became famous through gambling. Among his adopted children, Fang Jun is the one who inherited his gambling skills the best."

Su Ha carefully applied the powder to his hands.

"Killing his other children is hard to say, but if you kill Fang Jun, he'll definitely show up at Fang Jun's funeral!"

Li Kang said, "But Fang Jun works for the government, Scarface told us not to attract official attention."

Su Ha paused, then slowly raised his head. "If bombing a casino is considered too noisy, but killing a few people is also considered too noisy, then what's the point of us seeking revenge?"

"Back then, our fathers were able to form a deadly feud with the Nie family because they were ruthless people who had torn flesh from his hands."

"If Scarface keeps holding it in for too long, he'll only turn into a pig. Are we going to have to wait here for years like him?"

"Why not just wait for Nie Longding to die of old age on his own!"

A Luo nodded and said, "We definitely need to hurry. The domestic environment is restrictive, and I already miss the free air of Nanyang. Let's take our revenge as soon as possible so we never have to come back!"

Su Ha's palms were evenly painted a ghastly white. He raised his hands and smeared horizontal lines on his face, his cold gaze fixed on the house.

The low, varied syllables of the incantation rolled in his throat, with only the last few words barely audible.

"Willow Spirit Child, aid my divine power!"

Inside the house, in the living room.

Chu Tianshu had already written the Nine-Syllable Mantra on Yin Fengxin's back, inserted nine silver needles, and told him to go to the basement to rest.

Yin Fengxin was a little puzzled, but traditional Chinese medicine treatments are known for their strangeness, so he just did as instructed.

He clearly didn't smell any willow twigs.

Actually, the scent of willow branches is very faint; even if all the willow branches by the pond are broken, the scent won't reach the house.

Chu Tianshu has been practicing his martial arts using electricity recently, and yesterday he was able to adjust it to level four, feeling completely refreshed and his perception had improved significantly.

What he smelled was actually malice and magic.

"Given Xiao Yin's condition, even someone with the Dragon Flower Dharma Lineage in this city wouldn't be able to sense his location, would they?"

Chu Tianshu was a little curious about who had come, and stepped into the courtyard.

A faint trail of powder drifted by in the air.

Even with Chu Tianshu's cultivation level and eyesight, he felt that he couldn't see it clearly and it was easy to overlook.

Roughly speaking, it looked like shards of glass lined up in a row.

Call out!!!

Seemingly sensing Chu Tianshu's presence, the white line suddenly accelerated and pierced towards Chu Tianshu.

Approaching.

Chu Tianshu silently uttered a single word and thrust his finger forward.

The speed at which he swung his arm was no less than that of the seemingly real yet illusory white line.

With a burst of Mind Power from his fingertips, a tiny, transparent wave of energy destroyed the white line inch by inch.

The scent of willows in the air grew even stronger.

Chu Tianshu's heart stirred.

"Willow Spirit Lad? No, Willow Spirit Child!"

There are two main types of Willow Spirit Child.

One version of the story is said to originate from Lü Dongbin of the Tang Dynasty, whose pageboy died unexpectedly, and whose soul attached itself to a willow tree.

He carved the willow tree into a human figure, complete with eyebrows, beard, and meridians, and enlightened the young scholar, allowing him to continue on the path of cultivation and have the opportunity to grow in mind. Hence, he was called Willow Spirit Lad.

The second method is unorthodox: find wood of suitable age and growing location, carve it into a willow doll, and then find a child with a suitable birth date according to what you want.

They invite the child's spirit into the doll to do their bidding.

The former involves first establishing a connection with the person's soul before proceeding to carve the willow tree.

The latter is the opposite; they often resort to cruel methods that kill children. After raising them for a long time, they either try to destroy them or inevitably suffer the consequences.

The Willow Spirit Child that Su Ha encountered was quite extraordinary.

He was shot and injured in the internal organs. He encountered a willow wood doll in an ancient temple in Nanyang. His internal blood dripped onto the doll, but he did not die. They had a kind of spiritual connection.

That boy was no longer inside the wooden doll, but had long since gone to the Spirit Realm, where his cultivation was extremely profound.

Su Ha was chosen to regularly search for offerings for it in the real world.

The old body of the willow doll was then absorbed into Su Ha's body as a blessing.

Thanks to this blessing, Su Ha is able to avoid many prerequisites when performing Gong Tau.

For example, "Glass Jiangtou" originally required obtaining the target's birth date and time, or blood and hair.

After a curse is cast, the target will not develop large crystal stones in their body for at least one or two weeks, or even several months, before dying from the incurable condition.

Su Ha, on the other hand, doesn't need those things; he can simply specify a direction and project the curse there.

Once the sorcerer arrives there, they will naturally seek out living people within that area and exert their influence immediately.

The skin and flesh were pierced and cut as if by glass, bleeding profusely and causing unbearable pain.

The moment the illusory white glass line was deciphered, Su Ha sensed it.

"Move!"

He suddenly plunged his finger into the powder.

Su Ha also knew that Fang Jun's cultivation was extraordinary and that he might have helpers by his side.

Therefore, the "Glass Jiangtou" was just a visible attack; his real hidden move was the "Stone Jiangtou."

Most mammals have hollow stomachs, and their bellies lack bones, making their blood and energy much weaker than in their limbs and backs.

If you encounter a creature with strong blood and energy, it will be easier for a curse to enter its body through this location.

"Stone Jiangtou" was developed specifically for this purpose.

If you create the illusion that a Shitou has jumped into your stomach, your stomach will then react by feeling the real sensation of being pressed down by Shitou.

First, I vomited, then I felt my stomach bloated and heavy, and I died from the bloating.

Those who cultivate Mind Power can only gamble on whether they can initially withstand the attack. If they are successfully attacked, their digestive system is more vulnerable, and they will die even faster.

BOOM!!

Inside the car, the moment Su Ha inserted his finger into the powder.

About half a meter in front of Chu Tianshu, five or six bluish-black afterimages shot out from the ground and crashed into his stomach.

Each afterimage resembled a stone the size of a baby's fist.

Chu Tianshu lifted his eyelids, and suddenly two explosions rang out from the ground.

He kicked his left foot in place, his body instantly shifting three meters to the side, then kicked down with his right foot, charging diagonally forward.

He stomped his feet twice, all in one smooth motion.

A sharp, angular trajectory seemed to remain in the air.

The stones, drawn by his intense life force, veered off course and chased after him.

It wasn't dark yet, and the two iron gates of the courtyard were already open.

The moment Chu Tianshu rushed out, the strong airflow startled both iron doors that opened inward, causing them to creak and groan, as if they were about to close.

The fake stone formed from evil energy couldn't even catch up with Chu Tianshu's body.

Chu Tianshu has already discovered the source of the evil magic.

The car was about fifty meters away from the pond.

The view is being pulled closer by the wind.

In just over a second, they've already arrived!
