My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 442 It’s Over!

Baojie screamed, flew to Jiang Yan's face, stretched out her little hands to pull and slap, and cried out.

Although Jiang Yan felt a little helpless, it was indeed his fault, so he let Baojie vent for a while.

I am just a little dissatisfied with what I "got". How can my "things" be kneaded and molded as they please by others?

He wanted to lose his temper several times, but was finally persuaded by Jiang Yan.

Afterwards, when Sister Zai Bao had vented enough, she lay on Jiang Yan's head like a dead fish and didn't move.

His voice was weak: "You little brat, you're such a troublemaker, cursing, being a yandere, and having seven emotions. You said you'd just torment yourself, but why did you drag me down with you..."

"Look at my delicate little hands, my moist and shiny face, my feet as white as mutton fat jade. Can you bear to watch them disappear?"

Bao Jie tugged at Jiang Yan's cheek with her slender fingers while speaking the harsh truth in a rather teasing tone. Yes, if anything unexpected happened, Bao Jie would be dead.

It's just a matter of time.

It may be several hundred years at most, or two or three years at least. This is the miserable fate of the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth that are targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, all the ancient immortal sects in the past dynasties who possessed Baojie kept her as a worshipper and did not dare to let her use any magical powers, for fear that she would be discovered and destroyed by the Heavenly Dao.

It was later that Jiang Yan made the black mud that could shield and seal, which gave Sister Bao a long time to cultivate her spirituality.

From then on, Sister Bao tacitly followed Jiang Yan, and it has been like this until now.

But now, before I even achieve spiritual enlightenment, I've already been targeted. Not only can I not hold out for much longer, but I'll be the focus! Accelerating my decline!

Originally, even without Jiang Yan, she could have survived for another two or three hundred years with just one treasure. Now, two or three years?

Jiang Yan remained expressionless after hearing this and raised his hand to slap away the little hand that was pulling at his face.

"Don't panic, Sister Bao, do you think I'm the kind of hot-blooded person who gets carried away when my head gets hot-headed?"

"That's the kind of protagonist you'd find in a hot-blooded comic. Sister Bao, you've been with me for so many years, I've compiled your tactics into a practically user manual. Do you think I'd let you get to this point where you have no way out?"

"So don't worry, there will be spirituality and there will be bread~"

Sister Bao was stunned, and then suddenly grabbed Jiang Yan's hair!

"What did you say?!"

"I said there's no need to worry about your spirit dissipating... Hey hey! Your hair is part of your spirit, not real hair, so don't pull it!"

"How dare you make up stories about me? How dare you write a user manual?! You want to die! I'm going crazy!!"

…………

After a while, Sister Bao sat on the large gilded gourd with her arms folded over her chest, legs crossed, and bare feet, and tilted her chin slightly towards Jiang Yan.

"You said, is there any way to alleviate the dissipation of my spirituality?"

Jiang Yan rubbed his head with lingering fear. There was a wisp of soul that had been torn off and was slowly merging with his own.

Hurt...no, it hurts...really hurts.

Jiang Yan cleared his throat, felt it, and nodded seriously.

"Almost, Sister Bao."

"Don't worry about spiritual matters, Sister Bao. I have the first volume, which can address the reality of Sister Bao's spiritual weakness and unworthiness. The middle volume can alleviate the loss of Sister Bao's spiritual power, but it will only last for a hundred years. The third volume can also address the reality of Sister Bao's spiritual weakness and unworthiness, but it may also lead to the destruction of both her and the treasure."

"Well, maybe I will."

Bao Jie wondered, "Aren't these worst and middle strategies a bit contradictory? The middle strategy means death, no matter how you delay it. While the worst strategy means death, at least there's a chance to fight."

Jiang Yan smiled but said nothing.

"Sister Bao, you'll know when the time comes. I really can't explain it to you right now."

"Humph! Who cares? Even if I don't have your method, I still have my own clever plan~"

"Hehe, that's right, Sister Bao, you are the best, Sister Bao, you are the best~"

Baojie's face turned dark, and she couldn't help but want to pick up the gourd and hit him in the face!

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea and kept the same posture with his hands on his chest.

"Hmph, putting all that aside, what are you going to do about the curse within you? You're practically turning into a humanoid curse machine!"

"If you lose control and fart right now, it will pollute the entire city."

Jiang Yan squinted and smiled.

"It's simple. If it were in the past, I really would be helpless about it, but now..."

Jiang Yan's smile faded, and his mind felt a moment of disharmony and abnormality, and then wisps of smoke carrying a curse emerged.

Sister Bao almost took action at this moment, but when she saw the calm expression on Jiang Yan's face, she stopped in time and did not take action!

Even so, she was still quite frightened.

"You! Is this a curse? Why hasn't it broken out yet?!"

Jiang Yan raised his hand, and the wisp of black smoke-like curse stayed obediently in the palm of his hand.

"Before, I didn't understand the way of the seven emotions, so I was helpless against curses that didn't rely on spiritual energy. Even if I understood how it worked, without the corresponding driving method and practice veins, I couldn't utilize or expel it."

"So, even a magical treasure like you, Sister Bao, who can temporarily borrow the power of heaven and earth, cannot dispel this curse. You can only seal it and prevent it from spreading."

Baojie blinked, didn't interrupt, and nodded obediently.

Jiang Yan continued speaking and raised his other hand, on which strands of golden threads were interwoven, and then gathered into a strand, a rope, and a strand, and soon turned into a ball of dazzling golden light!

"This is incense! No... this is the merit of incense!"

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.

"Subjective consciousness is the internal driving force behind the evolution of the 'roots of the seven emotions,' such as the emotions of anger and fear that arise from a monk's obsession."

"Objective existence refers to the laws of heaven and earth, the behavior of sentient beings, and environmental factors that are independent of subjective consciousness. They are the objects of subjective consciousness, such as the emotional manifestations formed after the roots of the seven emotions come into contact with heaven and earth."

"In the past, I was blinded by a single leaf and didn't see the true face of the curse. I simply thought that the curse was some kind of power independent of spiritual power. But when I was able to glimpse the ultimate truth of heaven and earth in the realm of the seven emotions, this idea disappeared."

"Curses, incense offerings, and merit are all shaped by the seven emotions. Curses are distorted by extreme emotions like anger, worry, and fear. Subjective will, through emotions like resentment, hatred, and jealousy, forcibly imparts the "intent to harm," forming the "curse power" of the seven emotions."

"Using objective laws such as 'cause and effect' and 'karma', we transform subjective perception into a force that can act on reality, such as through rituals like spells and blood sacrifices to connect to these laws."

“The same is true for the merits of burning incense, except that the corresponding seven emotions and curses are completely opposite.

Yet both can transcend individual limitations through "consensus among all beings"; incense can condense into the golden light of merit, while curses can transform into the black tide of karma. Essentially, it's the manifestation of subjective will through the power of objective media.

“The two are opposite, yet unified.”

As he spoke, the curse in Jiang Yan's hand and the "merit of incense" in the other hand had reached the same level!

The former is extremely evil, and it makes people feel cold at the sight of it. It seems to contain the hatred that has been buried in the abyss for thousands of years, and even their cognition is slightly affected by it!

The latter was as warm as the morning light, with strands of golden light flowing from between his fingers. In the halo, one could vaguely see the shadows of all living beings praying devoutly, and there was a fragrance like sandalwood wafting through, which actually eliminated the breath of the curse!

Sister Bao looked at these two completely different forces, her eyes widened in shock, and her little face puffed up slightly, which was very cute.

"I don't understand what you're saying! But I did hear something from your words. In other words, from the very beginning, as long as you gather the merits of incense, you can remove the curse in your body!?"

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.

"Although it was difficult for me at the time, but...theoretically it can be eliminated."

Baojie pointed at Jiang Yan, her face flushed red! She was so angry that she couldn't speak!

"I...you...are you saying that everything I did before was just wishful thinking?!"

"Uh... that's not the case, Sister Bao. You need to calm down and listen to my explanation."

"First, I have never practiced the Way of Incense God. All the incense power I have obtained has been condensed into the Incense Golden Body. I don't have much incense myself."

"Secondly, while incense can be counted, merit is not simply acquired. I was also blinded by the current trend of Shintoism and thought that as long as I condensed a golden body, it would be considered a golden body of incense and merit."

"In fact, the word merit is not something that can be taken lightly. It requires the recognition of Heaven. The same is true for curses. Heaven pays attention to them, but they mostly dislike them. Sister Bao, you see, Heaven is impartial and selfless. Even if someone's fate will destroy the world order in the future, they will not react too much.

"So, Sister Bao, do you think that ordinary curses can be disliked by the Heavenly Dao? There are countless curses in the world, so why does the Heavenly Dao hate the curse of destruction?"

"Because it is Heaven's calamity! If Heaven's laws also have seven emotions, then this is Heaven's 'evil,' while virtue is Heaven's 'good.' It would have been impossible for me, who was so blinded by my own blindness, to gather virtue."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"For living beings, heaven and earth are objective entities that influence them, but for heaven and earth, aren't living beings also another kind of objective entity? The two complement each other, forming a unity of opposites."

Baojie was confused and didn't understand what was said, but she still knew the most basic point.

"In other words, you can now remove the curse on your own without help from others?"

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.

His palm was slightly relaxed, and a strand of extremely dense golden thread gathered in the palm, like a swimming fish or a gentle breeze, gently wrapped around Jiang Yan, and the end would occasionally take root deep into the ground.

However, it did not cause Jiang Yan any pain. Instead, he felt clusters of warmth exploding, and unprecedented warmth, comfort, and relaxation spread throughout his body.

It’s even more refreshing than Shen Ming’s personal essential oil back massage.

The curse that was originally suppressed by Sister Bao, like a leech attached to the bones, was entangled in the deepest part of Jiang Yan's body. As the golden thread of merit continued to consume it, it was slowly and firmly eliminated.

In a short while, the most entangled curse was completely removed, and the only thing left was the scattered curse black fog outside the spiritual platform.

Without the source, these curses are just like duckweed without roots, and can be easily removed even without merit.

The moment the source of the curse was removed, a great sense of "relief" and uncontrollable "fatigue" swept over him.

But Jiang Yan still seemed to have heard nothing, as if he had no idea what "tired" meant?

"These rootless curses are not useless. I'll put them away for later."

As Jiang Yan spoke to himself, he raised his hand, and the light red thread wrapped around his soul body spontaneously spread out and attached to his hand, forming a light red thread glove!

Then he actually stretched out his hand and picked up a strand of rootless curse outside the spiritual platform!

The black fog was no longer solid, and it felt cold and damp, sucking away the soul. However, with the protection of the "red gloves", it was not affected at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan laughed and shook his head.

"As expected... Shen Ming, the traitor, saw through the curse from the beginning, that's why he's so fearlessly delaying and refusing to remove it for me..."

"If I don't resolve this curse, firstly, it will keep me by her side and prevent me from running around. Secondly, my strength will be sealed and everything will be controlled by me. Thirdly, it can also temper Sister Bao's spirituality..."

"Ah...this traitor!"

The "Red Gloves" are the result of "getting". They are originally a pure fantasy of Shen Ming that has been cultivated over the years. They wield the weight of the seven emotions. Even a single composition is stronger than this "curse" that is a mixture of multiple negative emotions.

It's just that there's a lack of manual techniques for the Seven Emotions, so they can't use or manipulate them. They have a mountain of treasure but don't know how to use it. They can only passively generate effects, such as influencing, distorting, and infecting others.

This is equivalent to a gold brick. You could have achieved your goal of killing people by purchasing tools, hiring people, or even making weapons, but you don't know how to do it, so you end up slapping yourself in the face with the gold brick.

You say this operation is useless, right? If the gold bricks are bigger and more important, they can really kill people! But this is a bit of a waste of time and effort, and you can even say it's stupid.

The curse in Jiang Yan's body was just a tiny wisp!

"I was a little confused before. Why is Shen Ming so confident in leaving me alone this time? Isn't she afraid that if something goes wrong, the curse will suddenly erupt without anyone to suppress it?"

"Now it seems that she has calculated everything..."

Jiang Yan sighed softly, not knowing whether he was melancholy or relieved. If he had not been able to understand the difference between merit and curse, this time he would have been in real trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan saw the "get" wrapped around his hand begin to stretch outward and take root in the black fog.

It was like a whale swallowing a fish, swallowing the curse madly!

Jiang Yan quickly interrupted "Get"

"Leave some for me! I'm going to have to research this precious curse in the future. I haven't figured out how it's created or where it appears yet. If you eat it and get upset, that's another matter. The research damage alone wouldn't be enough for ten of them!"

Well, anyway, we know where Shen Ming is. If our imagination is not enough, we can just gather some more.

"Dedao" revealed a clear sense of loss, like a resentful young animal tightly wrapped around Jiang Yan, revealing a small hand pulling at his hair, Jiang Yan's hair...

The little mouth is slightly open as if to vent and nibble greedily.

It's a bit like chewing betel nut, very addictive.

In response, Jiang Yan said, "Let her be!" The MVP owner, who contributed greatly to this battle, deserves to be indulged!

Everything was settled. Jiang Yan used the power of "obtaining" to make some containers to seal the curse, gave them to Sister Bao for safekeeping, and prepared to return to his body.

But at this time Baojie stopped him.

"Hey, did you forget something?"

Jiang Yan ignored it and just sent a message before regaining consciousness.

"Sister Bao, don't worry about that little girl. It was already quite difficult for me to cut off Yin Li's Bloodline Threading Technique. I can't use it a second time now."

"Let her stay in the treasure for a while, and I will release her later..."

"oh………"

Sister Bao nodded obediently, feeling Jiang Yan's rapidly fading consciousness. She felt that the other party seemed to be avoiding something from beginning to end, and he was very anxious throughout the whole process.

Although Jiang Yan performed well, she just had this feeling.

"Why are you in such a hurry... Aren't all the things taken care of?"
