Chapter 5
Zhang Lisheng was shocked when he looked at the centipede that grew to over seventy centimeters, almost the size of a grass snake . He calmed himself down and began to chant the incantation again . In the midst of the 'pst shh…' noise, he controlled the centipede as he desired, as if it were his own arms . It was the formation of a wizard's worm, a wizard's way of turning a normal insect into a wizard worm using incantation and wizard power .
In Chinese mythology, the creator of the universe Pangu separated the sky from the earth . It was a blurry entity at first, but then after he died of exhaustion, his breath transformed into the spring breeze and clouds, while his voice turned into thunder . His eyes transformed into the sun and moon, and his hair transformed into the stars . His body transformed into mountains, while his blood transformed into rivers . His tendons transformed into roads, while his muscles transformed into flatlands . His bone marrow transformed into minerals underneath the ground, while his skin and fine hair transformed into grass and trees .
After Pangu, there was the goddess Huaxu who became pregnant after stepping on the Thunder God's footprint while she was fishing by the lake . She then gave birth to Fuxi and Nuwa, the siblings who had the head of a human but body of a snake .
Nuwa created mankind with clay, and later on had intercourse with her brother Fuxi and gave birth to Wu .
Later on, there was a fight for the throne between the Water God, Gong Gong, and the Fire God, Zhu Rong . After his defeat, Gong Gong banged his head onto Mount Buzhou, which broke the sky pillar . Kyushu Island collapsed, and the sky rose toward the northwest while the ground was tilted into the southeast direction . The earth was flooded as wildfire spread .
To save the people, Nuwa traveled across the mountain ranges and borrowed fire from the Sun God . She then melted the five-colored giant stones on Mount Tiantai into 36,500 pieces to mend the sky .
After successfully mending the sky with 36,500 pieces of stones, Nuwa then chopped off the four legs from the God of Mount Tiantai, Ao, to support the four pillars of the sky . She finally managed to solve the calamity of Kyushu Island but turned into dust from the depletion of her blood .
Since then, her child Wu that she had with Fuxi replaced its mother to educate the humans . During ancient times, people practiced witchcraft to communicate with spirits, assist demons, determine luck, possess the knowledge of good and evil, as well as to govern people . They were the most powerful people .
However, humankind became self-reliant later on following the appearance of the Three Sovereigns: Suiren, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor, as well as the Five Emperors: Taihao, Emperor Yan, Shaohao, Emperor Yao, and Emperor Shun . These eight talents who were wise and powerful not only possessed the ability to govern the world but also to tear the sky apart . That was how the heir of Wu was chased to the deserted land of Jiuli land which evolved witchcraft into the exclusive culture of the barbarian lands in Chinese history .
Therefore, witchcraft could be described as an inheritance from the ancient spirit's bloodline of the Chinese . It was definitely not the chaotic, evil abilities that the innocent minds thought it was .
"I've done it, I've done it . I can't believe that I've done it . I-I'm a wizard now!"
"B-but, how did it happen out of nowhere?!" Although Zhang Lisheng had a premonition when he woke up at the hospital, he was still surprised when it happened .
However, his joy only lasted for a moment as he blurted, "Father! I've done it, father! F-Father…" . He instinctively wanted to share his joy with Zhang Daowu, but he then realized that his father had already passed away . He was all alone in the old house .
At that moment, an unknown sadness grabbed the young man's heart and crushed it into pieces .
"Father, father, father…" At the moment, Zhang Lisheng could feel all his strength being sapped out of nowhere as if he had fed an immeasurable amount of blood to the venomous worm . He feebly fell to the ground and could no longer control his tears anymore . He fell asleep without being aware of it .
The sky turned bright when he woke up . "Bang, bang, bang…" The sound of knocking came from outside of the door followed by a nervous scream, "Mountain Worm, Zhang Lisheng, how are you? Open the door, can you open the door quickly?"
Zhang Lisheng absent-mindedly stood up from the courtyard ground . While he was standing up, he did not forget to chant 'pst shh…' a couple of times to chase his wizard worm into a dark corner to hide . He then shouted with his hoarse voice, "Who is it, who is behind the door?"
"It's me, Tao Lulu . Open the door now," the person on the opposite side of the door replied loudly .
Zhang Lisheng walked unsteadily to the door and lifted the heavy latches one by one . With the help of the misty sun in the mountain during the sunny morning, he saw a young lady who was the same age as him standing outside as he opened the door . The young lady had tanned skin, but her features were extraordinarily pretty . He asked the young lady, "What is it?"
"I heard about what happened to your family from my father, I'm here to see you . " The young lady Tao Lulu sympathetically said in a low voice, "Are you alright? Why is there mud all over your body?"
"It's nothing, I fell down in the courtyard . It was Uncle Ah Lie who helped with everything yesterday . I have to thank your family . "
"You don't have to be polite, we're relatives anyway . " The tanned young girl Tao Lulu shook her head, lifted a muddy yellow earthen jar, and proceeded to say, "This is ginseng hen soup that my mother made, she asked me to send you this to replenish your body . "
"Are you going to school today?"
