Chapter 2338 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Eight) Plea

Nie Huihou asked: “Your progress is slow, is it a problem of your level?”

“No.” Quan Chumeng said, “If it were another Taoist priest, it would be even slower. Is Elder Nie still anxious now?”

“If I say that I’m anxious, will there still be big problems when you perform the ritual next time?” Nie Huihou asked.

“That’s right.” Quan Chumeng said, “As long as Elder Nie is anxious, I can’t help but get anxious too.”

Nie Huihou said, “Are you anxious to gain wealth and glory?”

“Of course I also want wealth and glory, but I can only get wealth and glory if I try my best to do good things for Elder Nie and give him the results he wants!” Quan Chumeng said, “Elder Nie is anxious for results, so I am anxious for results too.”

“Do you mean that I can’t push you about this matter anymore?” Nie Huihou asked, “If I push you, it will be fatal?”

Quan Chu Meng said: “This is not what I meant, and I don’t want this to happen!”

“If I don’t urge you on this matter, why would you still do your best?” Nie Huihou said.

“Of course!” Quan Chumeng said, “It was Elder Nie who saved me today! Thank you Elder Nie for helping me recite the spell. Actually, you were begging for mercy on my behalf!”

“Please?” Nie Huihou asked, “Can a spell be used to plead for mercy?”

“The spell you just chanted has a meaning in it, as if you were pleading with the heavens for me: ‘If he doesn’t perform any more magic before sunrise tomorrow, please spare his life!'” Quan Chumeng said, “I don’t know how to explain the spell to Elder Nie, but I’m just using this analogy, which is roughly the meaning.”

Nie Huihou was stunned for a moment after hearing this and said, “You mean you can’t perform rituals before sunrise tomorrow?” “I definitely can’t perform rituals before sunrise tomorrow. This time, thanks to Elder Nie’s ‘pleading’ for me, I was able to save my life!” Quan Chumeng said.

“I will ‘plead’ with the heaven for you, and tell the heaven that you will not perform any rituals before sunrise tomorrow… this… I am the one who said you will not perform any rituals before sunrise tomorrow! My saying of your spell is equivalent to my ordering you not to perform any rituals before sunrise tomorrow?” Nie Huihou said.

Quan Chu thought: Elder Nie won’t doubt me, will he? He won’t think that I deliberately used this method to make him agree that I won’t perform the ritual before sunrise tomorrow without knowing it, right?

Quan Chumeng quickly said, “No, Elder Nie doesn’t need an order. No matter what happens, I can’t perform any more rituals before sunrise tomorrow.”

“No matter what?” Nie Huihou asked, “What if I ask you to do the magic?”

Quan Chumeng said, “I will do as Elder Nie said. If I perform the ritual before sunrise tomorrow, I will definitely die. I believe that after Elder Nie understands this situation, he will not order me to perform the ritual.”

“Then when can we find out? When can I continue to increase my power while you are performing the ritual?” Nie Huihou said.

Quan Chumeng said: “After the sun rises tomorrow, I can continue to perform the ritual! Then I will definitely continue to do my best to investigate!”

“Have you recovered yet? When can you stand up?” Nie Huihou asked, “I am a tribal elder and I am talking to you. Do you think it is appropriate for you to just lie there?”

“Not suitable.” Quan Chumeng said, “I also want to get up quickly, but getting up now could easily lead to danger again. I’m almost recovered. I can feel it. Soon, soon I’ll be able to… sit up.”
