58. Painted skin
At the time of the mother-son dual-purpose meal, the secret guard handed the news that "the Wang family found a girl for Zhao Xiaogongzi, and the little boy was quite moved" into the palace.
What kind of character Youshu is, no one knows better than the Nine Emperor Princes. He is always a tendon, and when he identifies someone, he sticks to the other party's side, even if he scolds him, beats him, and chases him, he will not give up, let alone carry the other party behind his back. Wang looked for a girl to live with him, and his most likely reaction was to refuse, or stay away, and would never accept it gladly, unless there was something hidden in it.
The Nine Emperors have slowly learned to control their inner sense of anxiety and insecurity, and have repeatedly admonished themselves to trust Youshu more, so that he will also be convinced of himself. In this way, the two will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and they can be together for a long time.
At present, he has crumpled the secret letter into pieces, but his expression has always been calm, from the inner hall to the outer hall, and from the outer hall to the inner hall, and repeatedly wandered for a full quarter of an hour before he said lightly, "Get out of the palace immediately and go to the Zhao Mansion to have a look." β
Before he took over the power left by the Sect Holy Emperor, he never knew that there was a secret passage in the palace, but now he only needed to knock on the secret door of the compartment to get out. However, before that, he left a message to Emperor Zhong Kang, saying that he was going to visit Youshu in the Zhao Mansion and would turn around later.
When the group was walking on the road, Youshu had already finished dinner and offered to let Taohong wait for him to go to bed. Wang was overjoyed, pinched his cheeks, and said that my son has opened his mind, and he can marry a daughter-in-law another day. Youshu didn't refute, and walked to the dormitory with a monkey-like face, the pace was very hurried, as if she couldn't wait.
Peach followed him step by step, begging the young master to slow down while staring at the invisible corner with a cold gaze. The two stepped over the threshold, locked it, closed the window, and then looked at each other in silence.
After a while, it was still Taohong who took the initiative to speak, "Young master, the slave maid is waiting for you to bathe and change your clothes." As he spoke, he walked around to the carved screen and hooked his finger at the young man. Because of Wang's orders, the wooden barrel behind the screen was already filled with hot water, and white mist was rising upward. Under the white mist, the temperature in the room rose slightly, making people feel suffocated to breathe.
But Youshu knew that this feeling of suffocation not only stemmed from the excessively high temperature, but also from the tricks laid by the monsters here. I didn't see that the secret guards on the beam had been ossified at this time, and Mo said that he was monitoring them, even if he couldn't move, he wouldn't be able to move, and he wouldn't notice anything unusual when the blinding method was lifted.
Is this going to kill me? Thinking like this, Youshu's already black and white eyes are even brighter, and the small dimples on the side of her cheeks are also deeply sunken, as if she is looking forward to it.
A trace of color crossed her eyes, and she hooked her hand and said, "Young master, how about the slave and maid accompany you to wash together?" β
Youshu walked up to her slowly, looking her up and down carefully with a burning gaze, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were blurry, as if she was drunk. He opened his mouth, his voice soft, full of seduction, "Can you sue me, what kind of breed are you?" β
"Huh?" Taohong thought that he would say something embarrassing, but he didn't expect it to be this, and he was stunned for a while. To be honest, it didn't know how it died yesterday, but instead thought of the dagger in the young man's hand that could slay demons, and felt that it was him, so he immediately ran back to take revenge.
It was very confident in its disguise technique, and although it was broken twice in a row, and it had also planted a big heel, it never thought that it would be planted a third time. This human skin is the freshest, and there is no flaw in it under its careful concoction, and in case it also applies layers of blinding methods, even Zhang Tianshi himself will be confused here. What if Zhao Xiaogongzi has Lingwu? What if you have a Thunderbolt Charm? With such a precious treasure, could he still keep taking it out? I think I've already exhausted my donkey skills, right?
But this kind of pride and contempt only lasted for a few quarters of an hour, and there was no threat in its eyes, and even Zhao Xiaogongzi, who was caught in his hand, bit his fingertips at some point and quickly drew a talisman on its forehead. It was only then that it understood the meaning of the question. The so-called "what variety" originally referred to its original form, and he had already seen through its identity.
As soon as the smell of blood dissipated, Pink wondered, "Someone from outside the world? Are you a man from outside the world? Its face was distorted, its eyes were red, and it was obviously very anxious and thirsty, and if it could move, it would surely fly up and gnaw Youshu one bite at a time, until there were no bones left.
It began to mobilize all its mana to impact the blood talisman on its forehead, expecting that it would soon be able to get out of trouble and feast on it, but it was shocked, "What kind of talisman did you draw?" β
Youshu took two steps back, wiped her fingertips slowly with a handkerchief, and said frankly, "The ordinary Sanyang Stature Talisman is analyzed into three ring-shaped single Yang Talismans, and then the Ten Absolute Lock Array Talismans are used to form the Yin and Yang Locking Talisman, and then the Dragon Snake Devouring Talisman is embedded in it, and finally the Yin and Yang Dragon Snake Ten Absolute Locking Talismans are formed." The words fell slightly and he added, "This name is only tentative, not yet mature, I have to think again." "I always feel that speaking out is not high enough, and I am suspected of insulting my IQ.
But Tao Hong has practiced for more than 600 years, and he can be called well-informed, so where would he feel that his IQ is not enough? On the contrary, it finally knew what kind of terrible people it had fallen into. The way of the talisman has been passed down in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years, and the total number of various sects and sects is only more than 3,600 kinds.
But how can acquired inheritance be compared to independent innovation? Only when all the talismans are completely depicted and understood thoroughly can they be split and combined at will. There are often many hidden risks in this, because if the combination is not right, it may be eaten by the talisman and die.
Taohong has also met many Taoists who specialize in talismans, but none of them are as easy as Youshu, and no one can say the words before. You must know that the so-called Sanyang Fixation Talisman, Ten Absolute Lock Array Talismans, and Dragon and Snake Devouring Talismans are all the most profound and time-consuming talismans in Taoism. is a character like Zhang Tianshi, it takes two or three days to portray one of them, but this son of the Zhao family only needs to bite his fingertips and breathe.
Perhaps his status as an outsider gave his blood a special purpose, but it was by no means the main cause. What kind of interior is wrapped under his well-behaved and lovely skin? Remembering her pierced head and severed tongue, Peach finally realizes that some humans are more terrifying than monsters.
It couldn't break free with all its mana, so it said in a trembling voice, "Little Master Zhao, what do you want?" β
Youshu had already taken care of the wound on her fingertips, and was bending down to draw the dagger in her boots, and said in a calm tone, "I will do to you what you want to do to me, I have always been fair." β
"I, I don't dare anymore, you have a lot of them, let me go?" It didn't realize until this time that there was a little ghost squatting on the beam, hanging upside down and winking at itself.
"Is this your little ghost? He went to Fanghuayuan to peep before, was it you who instructed him? Did you put the Thunderbolt Talisman? It had already guessed the answers to these questions, and the last few words were what it really cared about, "You recognized me a long time ago?" When? Green wax Xiaozhu that time? The sneak attack that night? Or the next day in the back garden? β
Youshu didn't answer, only took out the dagger and wiped it with a silk cloth a few times.
Peach was so frightened that her voice changed, "Curse the devil!" How can you have demons? Yes, the Nine Emperors are the reincarnation of the Overlord, and he can naturally get the Overlord's things lightly. At this moment, it really felt desperate, and couldn't help but cry pretentiously, hoping that the last beauty trick would work.
Eight living Buddha relics are inlaid in the hilt of the demon sword, constituting the astrological chart of the Ziwei Emperor Star and the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper Seven Stars defend Ziwei, and Ziwei is the lord of the Doushu, one of the Nine Emperors, which shows how powerful this dagger is, not to mention the demon Sanskrit carved with the blood of the living Buddhas of the past dynasties.
Peach has never tried its taste, but I want to know that this time it is more auspicious, and what is even more hateful is that Zhao Xiaogongzi has no pity at all, and he can swing a knife in front of such a beautiful face.
"Zhao Youshu, if I don't die today, I will repay it a thousand times in the future! I'm going to skin you, pull your tendons, dig up your bones, and burn you to ashes!" "When the flesh was cut open with a knife, it screamed wildly.
Youshu didn't raise his head and said, "I said earlier, I will do to you what you want to do to me." Originally, I just wanted to slaughter you with one sword, but since you have provided so many ways, I will reluctantly make it difficult. He carried the monster to a bamboo mat and arranged it in a large shape, then stripped it naked and gestured the position of the knife on his chest.
He had studied anatomy, and his skills were far superior to those of all surgeons in his previous life, so he naturally knew how to separate a person's skin, bones, muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs one by one. He had tried it twice, but he couldn't find out what the point was, and if he didn't study it clearly today, it would be a lot of trouble to get another one another day.
He simply drew a blood line in the middle of his chest, and asked expressionlessly, "What is your original form?" β
The monster didn't answer, but asked, "How can you recognize me repeatedly?" β
Want to clichΓ©? That's it. Youshu, who was not too curious, continued to draw down, and then raised one eyebrow, "Your skin is very fresh, but it has long been rotten inside, and you sneaked up on me that night, and it is clear that you have no fur." After a moment's thought, he said firmly, "So, this skin and the inner body are not the same." Who did you skin? The original pink? β
Guess it all! The monster not only has to endure the pain, but also has to desperately suppress the fear in his heart. It turns out that the most feared thing is not the profound spells, but the terrifyingly clever minds. If time could be turned back, it would be far away from Zhao Xiaogongzi.
In addition to the master and his father, Youshu never takes into account the feelings of others, especially a monster. He peeled back his skin, pried open his sternum, and continued, "Although you are covered in rotten flesh and look like you are dying, there is an unusual life hidden in you. It is this wisp of vitality that keeps you rotten and not dead, dead and not stiff, right? Did you get some great chance? β
The monster trembled violently.
Youshu pried its sternum a little further outward to observe the internal organs, and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your chance." You yourself have made this half-dead appearance, which shows that the fate is not a treasure, but an evil thing. The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and there is only a glimmer of life left. The reverse is also true for the reverse, that the undead will always have a fatal weakness. Except for people outside the world, the way of heaven does not allow it to exist more eternally. β
The monster trembled more and more, and even felt the pain. has lived for more than 600 years, and the person who can make it afraid to this point, Youshu is the first and the only one.
Youshu broke the ribs of its left chest and said, "I originally guessed that your weakness was either your head or heart, but two attempts were fruitless, and I hypothesized many situations. You know, here and here," he pointed to his temple, and then to his left chest, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, as if very happy, "is the common weakness of all animals, you are a demon and not a ghost, as long as you have the original form, if these two places are destroyed, it is impossible to survive." But you survived, so I wondered, is your body structure different from ordinary people? There is a kind of person in the world, called a mirror person, whose internal organs are distributed in the opposite way to that of a normal person, just like looking in a mirror. Although you are not human, you can transform and your body structure is the same as that of a human. β
Youshu slit open the monster's right chest amid the monster's shrill and frightened screams, and sighed, "Sure enough, it's hiding here." β
"Zhao Gongzi, please spare me! I have lived for 600 years, and I have many treasures of great value, and I will give them all to you, but please spare me this time! "The monster's beautiful skin is bloodstained at the moment, and the knife is scarred, and it looks very pitiful.
Youshu refused even more firmly, "After living for six hundred years, how many human skins have you skinned and how many human flesh have you eaten?" In order to prevent you from poisoning the living beings, I can't let you go. Although the words are high-sounding, but how many people the monster has killed is really not within his consideration, it should not be, it should not wear human skin to harm the Wang family, this is its unforgivable crime.
The monster wanted to continue begging for mercy, but the boy had already raised his knife and split its thumping heart in half. The howl of the ghost crying wolf came to an abrupt end, and the originally noisy room was so quiet that it could be heard falling, and with the death of the monster, the blinding method imposed on the inside and outside of the house slowly failed, and an extremely rich and pungent stench accompanied by black and red dirty blood slowly seeped out from the broken atrium and gradually filled the air.
The little ghost who was squatting on the beam of the room and watching the play had already been scared away by the cruel methods of the adults, but the rigid secret guard woke up belatedly, looked down, and almost fell. Is this the earth or purgatory?
Youshu didn't care about this strange scene being seen, and was hooking her waist and picking the heart of the monster with the tip of a knife. He vaguely felt that this stench, which was suddenly tens of thousands of times stronger, seemed to be something strange, and it needed to be dealt with quickly. However, as soon as he took out a few fire talismans, intending to destroy the corpse, the door was kicked open by someone, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was the master who was supposed to stay in the East Palace.
Behind him stood Wang and Zhao Shilang, and a few servants who were probing their brains.
"Ahhhh......h
Youshu straightened her waist and spoke, "My mother seems to have fainted." β
"She's going to be fine, we'll deal with the mess first." The Nine Emperor Princes walked to the corpse extremely calmly and reached out to stroke the blood spots on the side of the young man's cheeks.
Youshu was so frightened that she took two steps back, looked at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at the master, then she woke up, threw away the murder weapon with a bang, hugged her knees, shrunk her head, and squatted down facing the corner.
"I, I'm not what you think!" His voice trembled with a palpable tremor, "It's not ......" person. The last word was swallowed by him in time. It was already terrifying for him to let his master see such a bloody scene, where could he let him know the more terrible and ridiculous inside story. Demons and monsters are the most taboo existence for mortals, so what are they?
Can't say, at least not now! Youshu shook her head repeatedly, then buried her face between her knees and sobbed softly. This cowardly and cowardly appearance, where is it like the corpse-shattering madman before? If it weren't for the Nine Emperors' own eyes, they would have doubted their own judgment.
But he knew that the chaos in the house must have been done by Shu, and he knew that he was not the kind of person who killed him. There must be an ulterior reason for this, but since he refuses to say, he will not ask. It's like nothing happened.
Now, he must appease the little troubles and make him not afraid of himself. Hell, who should be afraid in such an environment? Who deserves comfort? The Nine Emperor Princes felt helpless for a while, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, so he hugged the young man with his back to him, gently kissed his neck socket and cheeks, and said slowly, "Don't be afraid, I won't ask anything, I will wait until the day when you are willing to sue me." There must be a last resort reason why you killed her, I believe you. You remember, no matter what the circumstances, I will choose to believe you. So will you believe me? β
In despair, Youshu unconsciously began to memorize the Bible: love is perseverance, love is never-ending, love is to tolerate everything, believe in everything, and hope for everything...... Yes, in this life, he can expect something from his master, and he can try to believe in him.
"Yes, I'm willing to believe you." He finally turned around, burping one after another, his eyes were red, and his nose was shiny and he looked miserable, as if he had been mutilated.
The Nine Emperor Princes were angry and funny, holding his cheek and kissing him deeply. The two squatted in a pool of blood, hugged and comforted each other, their clothes were still stained with foul blood, but they didn't feel the slightest discomfort. On the contrary, it was the secret guard on the beam of the house, who quickly glanced at the corpse below, and covered his face and secretly wondered: Your Highness, which evil god do you fancie?
Not to mention how stormy the house is, how calm it is, and how warm and sweet it is, but the outside of the house has already become a pot of porridge.
Wang stood under the corridor for a long time, and finally waited for Xianggong to come back, pulled him complacently and said about saving his son from fire and water. Zhao Shilang's face immediately changed greatly, and he was about to tell her not to act rashly, but the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly appeared outside the door and asked them where Youshu lived.
He came to Shu's dormitory once, and he planned to sneak in to get together, and by the way, he asked him what was going on with the room, but he didn't expect to go around the yard dozens of times, and he couldn't find the way, as if Shu's residence disappeared for no reason. Frightened, he had to find the upper room and wanted to ask Zhao Shilang and his wife if they had moved Youshu's room elsewhere.
Zhao Shilang and Wang Shi shook their heads reflexively, then came back to their senses, and hurriedly went outside to investigate, also like headless flies, they turned outside the courtyard for a few quarters of an hour. At this time, they realized that they had fallen into an evil spirit. Isn't this the legendary ghost hitting the wall? But the question is, where did it beat Youshu?
When the Nine Emperor Princes were so anxious that they wanted to rush to Zhenguo Temple overnight to ask the monks to do it, the dormitory that disappeared out of thin air appeared out of thin air, and he didn't want to kick open the door and see the purgatory-like scene of the blood pool in the house.
The group was still trying their best to restrain the anxiety in their hearts, and the more they went to the back, the more unbearable it became, and the movement became a little bigger. The other rooms of the Zhao family are keeping an eye on the big house, how can they not notice it? Someone was sent to listen. The Wang family was still in a coma, and Zhao Shilang was also so distracted that he didn't notice the servants who were sneaking around in the courtyard and ventilating the news. And when they came to their senses, it was already in every house.
In the second room, Zhao Yusong sleeps in the house.
The second wife sat on the side of her son's couch, used a golden hairpin to pick out the soothing incense in the copper furnace, and said slowly, "Look at your unpromising appearance, but a woman died, and she was so frightened that she lost her shape." If you don't get better, how many people will celebrate and see you laugh? I know that you have a knot, and I know that you are not convinced, you can rest assured, my mother has helped you solve it. β
Zhao Yusong, who was like a withered tree, opened his eyes at this time, and his eyes were shining.
The second wife stroked his sideburns and continued, "You men, your brain just can't turn around, why do you want a woman to go to that kind of pickled place, just pick a beautiful room at home, well-behaved, dedicated, and clean." Wang's idiot, listening to the people outside chewing a few words on the root of his tongue, hurriedly sent the person to his son's house. I've heard that it's done now. β
Zhao Yusong said hopefully, "Mother, what you said is true?" β
"Mother can still lie to you. The servants watched them enter, and now three quarters of an hour had passed, and the raw rice had already been cooked. She inserted the golden hairpin back into her bun and sneered, "The Wang family is a merchant girl in the end, and her knowledge is limited. Although Xia Qi's male style is prevalent, it is common for Brother Qi to personally select a daughter-in-law for Brother Qi and accompany him to give a bride price, but it does not include His Royal Highness the Nine. Who is he? Raised by the emperor himself, and destined to be the future prince since he was a child, he can be called high and self-respecting, can he tolerate other women in the person he fancies? Wang's actions will definitely provoke the thunder and wrath of His Royal Highness the Nine, and at that time, the family in the big house will be finished. β
Speaking of this, the second wife sighed, "If it is someone else's parents, even if they grit their teeth, they will endure it, or even send people to the Ninth Highness in person." But the two people in the big house love their children like their lives, how can they be willing? Naturally, he had to do everything he could to get his son out of the fire pit. But they are wrong, and this is not love, but harm. So, don't blame your mother for not loving you, not loving you, not understanding you, and always forcing you to do things you don't like. We're all for your good. Although Princess Mingzhu has a rough and willful temper, she is your best help, otherwise how can you turn over now? Get better quickly, marry the princess and be a colt, there will always be a day when you will glorify your ancestors. β
Zhao Yusong was like an enlightenment, and he was enlightened, and even said that his mother's lesson was that his son would take medicine.
At this time, a mother-in-law ran in from outside the door, and said in a panic, "The second wife is not good, the fifth son chopped the peach alive!" β
