"Please tell me you’re not deceiving me!" Zuo Ci said, releasing his grip.
"I would never dare to deceive you!" Hong Niangzi replied, fear evident in her expression. Even her Charm Technique could not sway the Daoist before her. It was clear that this person had a resolute heart and a murderous intent that she could not manipulate.
"Isn't your Snake Catching Sect known for setting up restrictive spells? This kind of Shu Fa has quite terrifying side effects!" Zuo Ci remarked with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, observing Hong Niangzi closely.
A chill spread from the depths of Hong Niangzi's heart to her entire body. She knew that if she couldn’t produce a spell, her life would end here!
The young woman was not a true disciple of the Snake Catching Sect; rather, she had stumbled upon their so-called secret techniques through chance and circumstance. "I—I am not lying!" Hong Niangzi stammered.
"Chance?" Zuo Ci raised an eyebrow.
"I wouldn’t dare to lie!" Hong Niangzi trembled as she continued, "I was once the Luo Zhen Dong Nu, a sacrifice offered to the Shan Shen. I never expected that the so-called Shan Shen was actually the last disciple of the Snake Catching Sect."
He had been gravely injured by enemies and, in order to restore his flesh, practiced a form of Evil Arts that drew on yin to supplement yang. This rogue deceived the nearby residents into believing he was the Shan Shen by using secret techniques to shake the ley lines, creating false signs of the Shan Shen’s wrath, causing earthquakes and chaos.
This led to the villagers continuously offering sacrifices of unwed maidens to the Shan Shen, using them as Luo Zhen Dong Nu to serve him!
Zuo Ci nodded. The Luo Zhen Dong Nu was also known as Luo Dong. Here, Luo Dong referred to a woman whose soul had been drawn into a cave, indicating that her spirit had been taken by the Dong Shen. From then on, she would be in a daze, fixated on marrying the Dong Shen. Even in death, she would accompany him.
It was said that when women from Xiangxi got married and their bridal sedan chair passed by a cave entrance, they often set off firecrackers to avoid disturbing the Dong Shen. If the Dong Shen saw a beautiful woman, he would find ways to steal her soul, leaving her madly infatuated.
Once a girl experienced Luo Dong, she would lose her normal state; she would become even more devoted to chastity and solitude, often appearing dazed and muttering to herself or singing and dancing at times. In such cases, family members could only find a nearby cave, set up an altar, burn incense, and offer paper money.
The girl from my family is an ordinary person, simple-minded and foolish, unworthy of Dong Shen's affection. I plead with Dong Shen to release my daughter. If she is freed, it would be seen as Dong Shen's mercy, truly allowing her to go. Therefore, I would express my gratitude to Dong Shen.
However, if she remains trapped, my family would lose all hope and resign ourselves to fate, watching helplessly as she lives her life in such a manner. Of course, there are those who believe that Luo Zhen Dong Nu possesses a pure primordial yin fate, making her an exceptional dual-cultivation Furnace Cauldron. They would deceive the ignorant commoners with rumors of Shan Gui and the Evil God, claiming that the divine requires sacrifices of daughters.
How interesting!
Zuo Ci nodded. "So, I can search your soul, correct?"
Mr. Fang replied, "Although my soul hasn't been bound by the Snake Catching Sect, I have set up the Luo Dong technique myself. If anyone attempts to forcefully search my soul, it will instantly shatter. One must always be prepared when wandering the world."
Hong Niangzi coughed twice, regaining her composure. Zuo Ci displayed a look of regret. Truly a clever person!
"Rest assured," he said. "Since I have promised you, I will keep my word. You do not have the qualifications to negotiate with me. You should know that if I do not obtain this Spell, then you shall die!"
Zuo Ci was never a benevolent person, especially since Hong Niangzi dared to use her Charm Technique on him. This woman was born with an enchanting nature; her Charm Technique was terrifyingly powerful. Even a master of the Dao Realm could easily fall under her spell and become her servant if they were not careful.
Though her intention was merely to evoke some feelings in Zuo Ci and establish a connection naturally. Her survival and acquisition of the Snake Catching Sect's legacy proved that her methods were not simple.
"Mr. Fang, please rest assured!" Hong Niangzi was a decisive person. She handed Zuo Ci a yellowed scroll.
