Chapter 373: A Trip to Xiangjiang (4000+)(1/2)
Chapter 373 Trip to Xiangjiang (4000+)
"By the way, brother Jerry, yesterday I won the special prize of the year-end event jointly organized by Yau Chi Street shops, a luxury seven-day tour of Hong Kong!"
Just when Jerry was thinking about whether he should go and return the Moon Bell to its original owner, or wait until the winter vacation is over and let Sakura take it there, Sakura suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.
“Seven-day luxury tour to Xiangjiang?”
Jerry looked surprised.
He didn't remember the scene when he was watching the show when he was a kid, with Sakura traveling to Xiangjiang. Could it be that he caused the butterfly effect?
"So Tomoyo and I won't be able to come for the next week. There are four places for the special prize seven-day tour. Dad has to go on a business trip and can't go, so Tomoyo, my brother, and Yukito-san and I made a reservation for the four of us to go together."
When Sakura mentioned Yukito, her eyes were full of happiness.
"Xiangjiang, Xiaolang and Beiling, aren't you going back during the winter vacation?"
Jerry turned to look at Li Xiaolang and Li Beiling.
He remembered that the Li family, a Taoist family that Li Xiaolang and his sister belonged to, had their roots in Xiangjiang.
Li Xiaolang closed the magic book:
"Go back, and it will take us longer. We won't be able to come back until school starts soon."
Sakura and others are traveling to Hong Kong, and they are going home. Of course, they will stay longer.
After saying that, he looked at Sakura again, coughed, and then said with a slightly nervous tone:
"Well, Sakura, if you are free after arriving in Hong Kong, you are welcome to visit our Li family."
We went to school together, searched for the Clow Cards together, and studied and discussed magic together at Jerry's place. Li Xiaolang naturally had a good impression of Xiao Sakura in his heart, although he himself did not realize it.
Li Beiling, on the other hand, snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Okay, when the time comes, Tomoyo and I will visit you together!"
Sakura smiled and agreed without thinking too much.
During the seven-day trip to Hong Kong, I took one day to visit the Li family and see what Li Xiaolang's Taoist family was like. It was of course also a very interesting thing for Xiao Ying.
Seeing Sakura agreeing, Li Xiaolang turned to look at Jerry again, and his tone became more nervous:
"Sir, I don't know if you have time to come to my house with Xiaoying and the others. I also have some more precious Taoist books at home. If you are willing to come, my mother has said that she can take them out for you to borrow.
.”
As early as when he started practicing the "Secret of Immortality" that can lead to immortality, strengthen the body, and quickly increase magic power, he exchanged the matter of learning magic with his husband, and had a showdown with his mother, the current head of the Li family.
To his surprise, after understanding the whole story, his mother did not blame him. Instead, she told him to study magic well, and if there was a chance, he could invite his husband to be a guest at home.
Moreover, last time I learned that Li Peiling, who had no Taoist qualifications, could learn and use magic with Jerry's help. After Taoism, his mother became even more concerned about inviting her husband to visit Hong Kong.
.
He even said that he could take out the few real original copies at home and lend them to his husband, a condition that he found very incredible.
According to the Li family's regulations, those few orphan books can only be read by the family head and elders. Even he is not qualified to read them now.
Therefore, after confirming that Sakura and the others would come to his home as guests, he took the opportunity to try to invite them to see if he could fulfill his mother's instructions.
Hearing this, Jerry tapped his fingers on the desk twice, thought for about two seconds, and then smiled and replied to the expectant Li Xiaolang:
"Then thank you Xiaolang for the invitation!"
In fact, in his original plan, he had already planned to go to Xiangjiang or the mainland, because the previous Taoist weapon refining technique, which had no foundation and relied solely on self-study, was too slow and far from what he expected.
He planned to go over and find the masters of Taoist weapon refining to exchange experiences and at least learn some basic things so that he could study them slowly.
However, because he was studying the Bell of the Moon and those more important Clow cards, he never took the time.
Now since Li Xiaolang or the head of the Li family invited me, it was just right.
Moreover, he was indeed interested in the rare and rare Taoist books that Li Xiaolang mentioned, so he agreed.
In fact, Jerry had always had a guess in his mind.
That is, these Taoist books that Li Xiaolang brought from home are not owned by the Li family.
Because after he read all the Taoist books, he found that these Taoist books basically talked about some basic Taoist knowledge, and the spells did not have any powerful spells.
In his opinion, this is not very reasonable.
Clow Rido combined Western magic and Eastern Taoism to create the Clow card, and many of the magics contained in the Clow card involve extremely advanced fields.
It was impossible that all these profound theories came from Western magic. He felt that at least half of them came from Eastern Taoism.
But there is no such part in the Taoist book sent by Li Xiaolang.
So Jerry guessed that when Li Xiaolang asked his family for Taoist books and wanted to learn Taoism, his mother did not send all the Taoist books, but only sent the ones she felt were suitable for the stage that Li Xiaolang wanted to learn.
Taoist scriptures.
In fact, it's normal. Li Xiaolang is indeed the most talented Taoist priest of this generation of the Li family, but given his age, there is still a big gap between him and a real Taoist master.
Therefore, in the eyes of the head of the Li family, the level of Taoist books she sent should be enough for Li Xiaolang to learn while collecting Culuo cards.
This also means that there are definitely many Taoist books within the Li family that contain powerful and profound Taoist knowledge.
If he can read all these Taoist books, his magic ability will definitely be improved to a higher level, and it will also be a lot of help in analyzing the Clow cards.
Even though he seems to have successfully analyzed every Clow card now, he has even made improvements and created his own magic.
But it does not mean that he has thoroughly analyzed all the principles of these Kuluo cards.
For example, the "Time" card can trap a small town in an infinite loop for twenty hours, and Crowrido, who created the "Time" card, is definitely more powerful in time magic than the Time card.
Although Jerry successfully analyzed the time cards, he can only fix the time of an area at most, and the gap is still very obvious.
All in all, he has successfully analyzed every card in the library, but he is just getting started. If he wants to exert its huge power, he still needs to continue to spend time researching and exploring.
And those precious Taoist books of the Li family have great potential to shorten this process.
Two days later.
Jerry looked at a world map, roughly calculated the distance in his mind, and then drew a portal with his right hand on the side.
He has never been to Xiangjiang, so naturally he cannot directly draw a portal leading to Xiangjiang. However, the advantage of the portal is that as long as the distance is accurately calculated, the portal can be opened even in places he has never been to.
Today is the day when Sakura and others take a flight to Hong Kong. Jerry did not choose to fly there with Sakura and others, but chose to open the portal by himself.
He felt that instead of wasting time on the plane, it would be better to spend it sightseeing around Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong in the 1990s actually had its own unique flavor.
In order not to attract attention, Jerry deliberately opened the teleporter higher, so when he stepped through the teleporter, he appeared in the sky above the entire Xiangjiang River.
"Is that Victoria Harbor?"
Looking at the iconic port of Xiangjiang below him, Jerry knew that he had opened the portal in the right place. After using the Illusion Curse to become invisible, he slowly flew down.
"Beside you, the road is far from tired and I walk with you. I pass the peaks one after another, but I see another peak again."
High-rise buildings and crowds of people, Hong Kong in the 1990s was prosperous, with men in suits and leather shoes, fashionable and beautiful women, and Teresa Teng's song "Walking on the Road of Life" blaring from the roadside video store.
Of course, there is darkness in even the brightest city. For example, before Jerry landed, he saw a dozen young and Dangerous guys with tattoos fighting in an alley.
In fact, Jerry discovered one thing very early on, that is, whether it is the main world or the small world, although they are different in many aspects, there are still many similarities in the circle of ordinary people.
For example, the name of the country, the geographical location of the world, some stars, songs, etc.
So the Xiangjiang he sees now is not much different from the Xiangjiang he saw in the 1990s in his previous life, but there are definitely some differences in some details.
Just like in his previous life, there was no so-called Li family in Xiangjiang, no Taoist priests, and no magic. Well, maybe not. After all, he was an ordinary person in his previous life. Even if there was something similar, he would definitely not know about it.
The agreed time to visit the Li family is the day after Xiaoying and the others come to Xiangjiang for a trip, which is tomorrow.
Therefore, he came to Hong Kong one day early.
The reason why he came to Xiangjiang a day early was mainly because he had been obsessed with magic research during this period, which made him feel a little tired. He just used this day to relax and see if he could get some unexpected gains.
It’s nice to occasionally walk on the busy streets like ordinary people, look at the scenery and eat snacks!
"Hey, someone is actually casting spells on the street!"
Jerry, who was strolling on the street admiring the scenery, suddenly sensed that there was a wave of magic coming from not far ahead, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Looking for the place where the magic wave came from, he quickly found the person who cast the spell.
At this time, the entrance of a fitness club on the street was being watched by a group of curious melon-eating people.
In the middle of the melon-eating crowd, a young man in his twenties stood there at a loss holding a wooden board covered with incense ash. In front of him was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The mana fluctuations that Jerry sensed came from that middle-aged man.
I saw that the middle-aged man was holding a glass in his left hand, and in his right hand he took out a piece of talisman paper filled with incantations, shook it gently, ignited it with magic power, and quickly put it into the glass.
Then, he took out a red rope and quickly wrapped it around the young man's index finger, put a drop of blood on it, put it on the flame on the glass and roasted it.
After a while, the middle-aged man picked up the glass and drank softly:
"Ambush and pursue, as urgent as the law dictates!"
As the incantation sounded, the flame in the cup immediately went out and turned into a white smoke that seemed to have consciousness, rolling in the glass.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he immediately put the cup upside down on the young man's mouth, and the white smoke quickly entered his body along the young man's mouth.
To be continued...
