Chapter 643
"I see this fairy is young but has such extraordinary foundations. In the future, she will definitely be a great cultivator. I will also form a good relationship. One hundred and fifty Three Mountain Talismans, and I will let this scripture go!"
That loose cultivator was also good at observing words and colors. Seeing Hua Dai leaning towards Brother Qian Chen, he realized that this was the real customer, so he opened the ancient tadpole scripture again and let Hua Dai take a look.
"It really is ancient tadpole script!"
The ancient and mysterious aura exuded from the scripture suddenly shocked Hua Dai, and she subconsciously tightened her purse.
She secretly transmitted her voice to Brother Qian Chen: "I didn't expect your eye for things to be really good! You actually found the real thing in this vast number of street stalls!"
"An elder of mine once participated in the opening ceremony of the Heavenly Curse Sect, and the few spiritual secret talismans brought back also had a few ancient tadpole curse characters, which indeed have this ancient and mysterious aura."
She gritted her teeth: "This scripture was discovered by you first! If you can come up with so much money, I won't compete with you for now! But if you don't have enough money, I can lend you fifty Three Mountain Talismans... that way it will be like we bought it together, and we can study it together!"
Brother Qian Chen glanced at her calmly—am I sick to buy something I wrote myself!
"Actually, it's useless for you to buy it alone. This text is rumored to be a kind of tadpole curse text from the ancient times!"
"After Xie Xie Zushi An formed his core, many great cultivators studied it and felt that it might be secret text of the divine way used by ancient witches to sacrifice to a certain god of curses! It belongs to a kind of extremely hidden divine text! Only the Ear Dao God born under the influence of that god's remnant shadow can chant it."
"Xie Xie Zushi An had great destiny. He heard the Ear Dao God chanting the curse text, and relying on his super-excellent comprehension, he remembered the true meaning of the tadpole text, cracked the curse method, and founded the Heavenly Curse Sect."
"Only with tadpole text and no corresponding curse method, you can't cast those curse methods! Let alone condense spiritual power!" Hua Dai was still persuading him eagerly.
Brother Qian Chen glanced at her lightly, looking at her expectant expression of 'let's buy it together', and pointed to the opening page of this 'Heavenly Curse Scripture'. With his other hand, he threw out the six jade coins.
He glanced at the six jade coins. According to the hexagram, his fingers wandered over the ancient and incomplete scripture, stopping on a tadpole character that looked like a turtle and snake entwined, and whispered a simple, mysterious syllable that seemed to pull this world back to the ancient times.
The loose cultivator's face changed drastically. He just wanted to take back the ancient scripture, but saw that the tadpole character Brother Qian Chen's finger was resting on suddenly flashed a faint blood color, and it actually came to life!
The tadpole character twisted and changed constantly, never having a fixed shape, but it seemed that this was its complete state.
The twisted form seemed to demonstrate some kind of heavenly Dao, exuding a trace of faint pressure.
The loose cultivator's forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to go up and snatch the scripture.
Brother Qian Chen's fingers slid over half a page of text, stopping on another tadpole character that looked like a Yellow Ruyi, and another simple syllable.
Hua Dai and the loose cultivator beside him were desperately trying to remember those syllables and correspond them to the tadpole characters in the scripture, but they were terrified to find that every time the syllables sounded, their minds went blank, and they couldn't remember those syllables at all.
It was as if their memories could not carry that kind of mysterious ancient sound.
Brother Qian Chen's fingers moved constantly, stopping on tadpole characters like Kun, cloud, thunder, erosion, ancient exotic beasts, etc. As he chanted the curse text, these tadpole characters all came to life, reorganizing on the remnant scripture into a chapter with twisted characters like dragons, shining with light and brilliant divine light.
It was a mysterious sacrificial text!
Hua Dai's heart was beating "thump, thump, thump", feeling a bit dry-mouthed, and she squinted her eyes, dazzled by the twisted tadpole characters on the opening page.
She subconsciously grabbed Brother Qian Chen's sleeve and said nervously: "Read it when we go back, buy it and read it when we go back! Now he definitely won't sell it!"
But soon she discovered that the loose cultivator opposite was even more nervous than her, and said with a dry smile: "So it's a high disciple of the Heavenly Curse Sect! This scripture was obtained by me in a ruin. Everyone has their own destiny. This ancient relic scripture shouldn't be the exclusive property of your Heavenly Curse Sect, right!"
Hua Dai narrowed her eyes like she had seen prey...
"Isn't this the original curse text?"
The loose cultivator looked at the familiar curse text restored by Brother Qian Chen and cursed in his heart.
"Damn it, that disciple kept saying that the Heavenly Curse Sect passes down the scripture but not the curse. Even entry-level disciples can only be taught a few entry-level curse methods, condense a few slightly less powerful spiritual powers, and they can't pass them on through their own mouths. They only know how to chant the curse but not how to crack it! Only true disciples will be taught the meaning of the tadpole text and crack the curse themselves."
"So the same curse text is one kind of spiritual power in the mouth of an entry-level disciple, and after a true disciple studies the meaning of the curse, it is a completely different kind of spiritual power, and can even comprehend divine abilities from the curse text!"
"He also said that this curse method was stolen from the Xie Xie Zushi Hall of the Heavenly Curse Sect and was a curse text worshipped by the ancestors of the Heavenly Curse Sect. Let alone entry-level disciples, even true disciples were not taught it."
"He swore that absolutely no one could crack this curse text. I actually believed it! Just in case, I even scrambled the curse text before pretending it was a remnant of the 'Heavenly Curse' and taking it out to sell!"
"I didn't expect that on the second day of coming to the Flying Boat Sea Market, it would be cracked to its original appearance!"
The loose cultivator felt a bit annoyed and nervous in his heart, but he was not particularly panicked. So what if this person is a true disciple of the Heavenly Curse Sect? The Flying Boat Sea Market strictly forbids fighting, and the entire immortal city is under the shroud of a formation. Once magic power is used, the four immortal towers will come to suppress it, and the seven major commercial alliances hosting the sea market will also dispatch garrison cultivators to inquire.
This kind of small stall has always ignored the authenticity of the goods. Although the Heavenly Curse Sect is a rising star in the overseas cultivation world, it doesn't have the face to ask the seven major commercial alliances to sell a favor.
Brother Qian Chen restored the scrambled and dismantled curse text and chanted it once, condensing a mysterious power.
"This remnant scripture is fake, it's just a curse text scrambled and dismantled. The chapters behind are all blank..."
Brother Qian Chen turned his head to Hua Dai and said, opening the back of the scripture. Sure enough, they were all meaningless scattered characters, seemingly imitating tadpole script, but completely devoid of divine meaning, making it obvious at a glance.
"Good! So it's a scammer!"
Hua Dai slapped the loose cultivator's stall.
Seeing this, the loose cultivator knew he had bumped into the real ancestor, so he could only sneer, waved his hand to shake off Hua Dai, and turned to pack up his stall.
"I'm not doing business with you two! Whether this scripture is real or fake, it has nothing to do with you!" The loose cultivator sneered and looked at Brother Qian Chen deeply, as if he wanted to remember him.
Brother Qian Chen said calmly: "Who said it has nothing to do with it?"
"These curse characters are recorded in a certain ancient tadpole script and cannot be easily copied or memorized! After being copied or memorized by others, the original characters will fade away. Since I have chanted the curse text, look and see if the curse text is still there?" Brother Qian Chen pointed to the remnant scripture.
The loose cultivator opened the remnant scripture and sure enough, saw that the tadpole characters had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a blank page on the opening page.
"You..."
He pointed at Brother Qian Chen and said viciously: "Fine! I guess I've fallen! Kid, leave a name! We'll meet again!" After leaving this threat, he rolled up his stall and turned to leave.
Brother Qian Chen called him to stop: "Wait... give your things back to you!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and connected with the aura of the curse text.
Suddenly, an aura of a vast wilderness, as if ancient witches were leading their clansmen in a wild dance to sacrifice to gods, spread from him, pressing Hua Dai beside him so she could hardly breathe. The loose cultivator who was about to leave felt even more terrified in his heart, looking at Brother Qian Chen who seemed to have walked out of the ancient times like a witch, pressing him so he couldn't breathe.
Immediately after, a majestic voice echoed in his ears!
Brother Qian Chen looked at him indifferently as if possessed by a god, the six jade coins in his hand overlapping, arranging into a hexagram, and said coldly: "Kan Zhen Tun, the beginning of the intersection of hardness and softness, and difficulty is born. Moving in danger, great fortune and perseverance. The movement of thunder and rain is full, and heaven creates the beginning. It is suitable to seek to establish a marquis, but there is no peace!"
"Shang Liu, riding a horse and returning, weeping blood!"
"This is a hexagram I have cast for you. From the hexagram, this Shang Liu line belongs to the yin line in the soft position. Although it is in the right position, it is at the very top of the Tun hexagram, having reached the peak, with no way forward, and it does not respond to the Liu San line, so the situation is the most miserable. The Kan hexagram it occupies also has the image of water and blood, so it is a great disaster!"
"It is said:
The four feet of the horse are sick, guarding against the sound of weeping blood. Staying in the village and planning to use it all, worried and fearful, not peaceful. If you want to ask about the future path, it is like a lamp in the wind!"
"Your destiny is dissipating, you won't live past tomorrow!"
As soon as the words fell, the loose cultivator stumbled under his feet, and his hair bun fell apart. He looked at Brother Qian Chen in horror and pointed: "Spiritual power!"
"The Heavenly Curse Sect chants the curse text, and can cultivate spiritual power! But it's impossible, that curse text cannot be cultivated by anyone..."
The loose cultivator knew clearly that it was the sacrificial text of the ancestors of the Heavenly Curse Sect.
Xie Xie Zushi An said personally: This piece of curse text is the symbol of the ancestors. Even he can only chant it when sacrificing to the ancestors, conveying the prayer to the ancestors of the 'Heavenly Curse Scripture' lineage.
In fact, this piece of curse text was stolen by the Heavenly Curse Sect disciple and him when they were opening the mountain gate, from the sacrificial text written by Xie Xie Zushi An himself.
Otherwise, relying on the teaching obtained by that disciple, he couldn't have copied these ancient tadpole characters at all!
Xie Xie Zushi An himself could only chant that piece of sacrificial curse when sacrificing to the ancestors, casting the spiritual power of that piece of curse text.
In fact, what the Heavenly Curse Sect disciple said, that no one could cultivate this piece of curse text, was not a lie!
But... who told him to meet the ancestor of the Heavenly Curse Sect!
This piece of tadpole curse text is named—Supreme Three Primordial Life-Directing Great Curse, which is a curse text pointing directly to Brother Qian Chen's Supreme Life-Directing Great Divine Ability. Chanting this curse can cast the spiritual power of 'Life-Directing', twisting destiny, interfering with fate, and having a trace of 'following the law with words', determining karma!
Just now, Brother Qian Chen, as a mortal, chanted this curse, cast the spiritual power, cut off 99% of this person's destiny, and set the fate of this person. Now, looking at it from anyone who can spy on heavenly secrets, the loose cultivator is already covered by black clouds, and tribulation is imminent!
The loose cultivator stumbled away regardless of anything else.
Hua Dai's sharp spiritual sense captured a trace of Brother Qian Chen casting the spiritual power 'Life-Directing', which cut off the loose cultivator's destiny, set the fate of this person later, especially after cutting off all vitality, and the dead silence aura emitted from this person's destiny, which made her face pale and her heart linger with fear.
The look she cast at Brother Qian Chen was full of awe and fear.
