【029】 Doomsday Seal
The sixth uncle not only has to take off his pants when summoning the ring spirit, but also takes off his pants when recalling the ring spirit, which is not only obscene but also troublesome, which makes Nanke pay attention to a very important problem.
"Qianxue, is it true that after wearing the Emperor Ring and establishing a contract, the position of the ring on the body cannot be changed?"
Qianxue nodded slightly: "Take the white ring on the middle finger of your right hand as an example, only if your middle finger is cut off and cannot be recovered, I will move to the finger closest to your middle finger, maybe the ring finger, maybe the index finger." ”
"I see!" Nan Ke was overjoyed, "In other words, as long as the sixth uncle takes out his manly spirit to wield the sword, the palace, his Emperor Ring can be moved to a normal place?" ”
The sixth uncle's nose was crooked: "Xiao Nan, what bad idea do you have!" Is it you from the palace? I'm so self-possessed, where did I get my manhood! ”
After rejecting Nanke's "enthusiastic" suggestion, Uncle Six was finally ready to talk about how he had returned to China from Africa.
Before that, Uncle Six went to the toilet again, recalled the orangutan king to the ring (otherwise the orangutan king always asked Uncle Six for bananas), and then took Nanke and his party to the entrance of the basement on the north side of the old mansion.
Nanke had long known that his family's old mansion had a basement, but in his impression, it was supposed to be a place to store Chinese cabbage in winter, and his grandfather always said that there was not enough oxygen in it, so he locked the entrance with a thick iron chain to prevent Nanke from entering. Over the years, Nanke had almost forgotten about it.
Now that the wooden baffle above the basement entrance has been opened, and the thick iron chain that Grandpa used to seal it is scattered all over the ground, Nanker knows that this is the masterpiece of the Orangutan King, who is only weaker than ordinary orangutans, but don't forget that even ordinary orangutans have the ability to shatter the bones of adults.
Nanke, who owed half a month's electricity bill in the old house, forgot to pay, so there was no electricity in the house at this time, and the sixth uncle was going to go down with a candle, but Xia Chi next to him "exhaled" and lit a fire in his hand, which was ten times brighter than the light of the candle.
"This is convenient," the sixth uncle sighed, "Xiao Nan, you have this Fire Demon God girl, and you can save a lot of gas bills at home in the future." ”
"Don't mention it!" Nanke said with a bitter face, "I used to think the same way, but later I found out that Xia Chi is very good at eating!" Compared to her food expenses, the gas bill saved is not worth mentioning! ”
"Hmph, I wasn't meant to be a gas stove for people." Xia Chi walked beside the sixth uncle with a small fireball, "Article 4 of the Emperor's Decree: The Emperor has the obligation to feed the ring spirits, otherwise the ring spirits can strike in protest!" ”
Nanke couldn't help but laugh, "There are only three laws in total, where did the fourth come from!" The so-called fourth article is completely made up by you, the big stomach! If I don't feed you, you're going to strike, right? ”
"What's the solution!" Xia Chi said aggrievedly, "The use of demon god power in the human world consumes a lot, and it can't be done without replenishing energy!" I'm hungry! ”
The girl of the same age shouted that she was hungry without any reserve, which suddenly made Nanke feel speechless - to some extent, the spirit of the ring is also an employee of the Emperor, and it is the duty of the boss to let the employees have food, right?
As they spoke, the four of them descended the stone staircase one by one, the flames of summer dispelling the darkness around them, and the vast space inside the basement was revealed to Nanker for the first time.
"The stairs and stone walls are a bit like the dungeons of the European Middle Ages...... Should it be said that it is worthy of a house built by Russians? And it's so big inside the basement! Is it overkill to enlarge cabbage......"
"I don't like Chinese cabbage very much." Xia Chi answered thoughtlessly.
Despite the poor lighting, Nanker made a visual inspection and found that the basement was almost as large as the dwelling above, if not more than that!
The basic structure of the basement is the character "Hui", the periphery is divided into several small rooms, and the middle "mouth" is the hall, which is filled with various archaeological collections, such as statues, ancient books, swords and swords, and earthen pots with inscriptions...... But now it's all covered in a thick layer of dust, and it's impossible to tell the numbers. Xia Chi used the flames to burn a large spider web in front of him, causing a white skull in the back to fall to Nanke's feet.
"I'll you!" Nank broke out in a cold sweat, for not only was the skull bared with fangs coldly, but there was another hole in the middle of his forehead, which seemed to indicate that he had three eyes when he was alive!
"The skeleton of a low-level demon god," Xia Chi confirmed after picking up the skull and pinching it, "I've been dead for more than 100 years." ”
Today, Nank no longer believes that this basement is used to store Chinese cabbage.
Grandpa, you deceived me so badly! This is clearly Dad's archaeological collection! Mom must have come in to help! Why don't you let me in? Is it because I'm worried I'm going to break the artifacts, or is it because there's something I shouldn't be touching?
"Your father is no ordinary archaeologist," Uncle Sixth took out a broom from the corner and began to slowly clean the dust from the ground, "I had an adventure in Africa, and I figured out that Nanxingzhou is very famous in the world of exorcists, and thanks to him, the Seven Doomsday Seals were not opened in 2012!" ”
Nanke's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the letter that his mother wrote to himself, which was burned by his grandfather, which clearly said, "Xiao Nan, as long as you find seven **, you can let us come back".
"Isn't Mom referring to Dragon Ball, but the Seven Doomsday Seals! Why is the disappearance of Mom and Dad associated with the Doomsday Seal, which doesn't sound like a good thing? ”
Since descending to the basement, Chiyuki has remained silent, carefully observing everything with her ice-blue eyes.
At this time, the sixth uncle swept away the dust in the center of the hall, and Qianxue's eyes suddenly widened at this moment!
"What am I rubbing this!?" Nanke's eyes widened wider than buns, "How can there be such a thing in my basement!" Will it explode? What's the deal with the red lines on it? How do they look like human blood vessels? Looks like it's still beating!? ”
In the middle of the basement of the old mansion, as Nank said, an object that looked like a manhole cover exuded an extremely bad atmosphere, it was perfectly circular, with a radius six times that of an ordinary manhole cover, and if anything could come out of this manhole cover, it must be a very large species.
"One of the Seven Seals of Doomsday, sure enough, in this place." Qianxue's gaze was involuntarily attracted by the glimmer of light emitted by the Doomsday Seal, this was because the Doomsday Seal was a passage connecting the Demon Realm and the human world, and the Demon Realm was the hometown of Qianxue and the other seventy-two pillar demon gods.
There are world-destroying things hidden in the basement of his house, and Nanker has lost a lot of brain cells to finally accept this - dare to love that when he lived in the old mansion, it was equivalent to hiding a nuclear reactor under his ass!
Although the Doomsday Seal is theoretically an oversized manhole cover, it looks much thicker and heavier than an ordinary manhole cover, and there is absolutely no possibility that it will be stolen by criminals to sell scrap metal. In fact, the Doomsday Seal is more like a stone, and the carvings on it are curved, with a heavy Mayan style, exuding antiquity.
The surface of the seal is covered with a layer of bright red lines, like blood vessels, as if they are beating slightly, and as if they are slowly spreading, making the Doomsday Seal look like some kind of living creature that will awaken at any moment.
Nanker struggled to suppress his heartbeat, not because he was timid, but because he faced the Doomsday Seal at such close range, and any mortal would inevitably have a surge of blood.
"Qianxue told me that once all the seven seals are opened, the demon king Baal will come to the world and eat everyone as spicy strips...... But what is the red streak on the seal? It's disgusting to watch! ”
"That's the sin mark," Light and Darkness sculpted Chiyuki's face into black and white, and she explained softly, "The Seven Doomsday Seals cannot be opened with any violence, nor can they be broken with any violence, they are both divine and demonic seals, but in the final analysis, they are the seals of sin, the seals of good and evil. ”
"Speak human words!" Nank's voice trembled a little, and he barely maintained his dignity as the Emperor in the face of the Doomsday Seal.
Qianxue saved some face for Nanke in front of the sixth uncle, and didn't mind Nanke's violent tone that came out by chance, in fact, Qianxue felt that it was very rare for Nanke to see the Doomsday Seal for the first time without slumping to the ground.
"Listen, those red lines that look like blood vessels are sin marks, a quantitative manifestation of the Doomsday Seal's absorption of human evil. You've noticed that sin lines aren't static, sometimes they're increasing, sometimes they're decreasing, right? Once the seal is covered with a seal, it will be opened, unleashing a terrible calamity to destroy the world...... The seven seals correspond to the seven calamities, and when all seven seals are opened, the end of the world will come. ”
"I don't see any reduction in the red lines!" The sixth uncle patted his stomach and said, "Although the increase is slow, it seems to have been increasing overall!" ”
Qianxue's face appeared in a very narrow sneer that did not match the age of 10-year-old Lori.
"That's your human problem, the Doomsday Seal will only absorb the 'sins of humanity'. The greater the sin and the closer it is to the seal, the more sin the seal will absorb, and the faster the sin will spread until it covers the entire seal, eventually leading to the end of the world. ”
"But I've heard that good deeds can counteract sins!" Xia Chi walked over with a fireball and interjected, "Dongshan City is not a city where people's hearts are corrupted, why are there still so many sin lines?" It's almost half of the seal! ”
"Only the 'good deeds of mankind' can counteract the sin mark." Qianxue reminded her sister and Nankedao, "If the Doomsday Seal was in Mexico and Somalia, it would have been opened a long time ago, but now it is not optimistic in Dongshan City. You know, now in China, how many people can help the old lady cross the road without hesitation? How many people else can stop a thief from stealing on a bus without hesitation? The cost of good deeds is too high, so people have to think twice, the cost of evil deeds is very low, but they can bring immediate benefits - not to mention that the world-destroying faction among the demon gods has formed an evil organization with humans as the main body, Abyss Pupil, and deliberately creates evil deeds near the doomsday seal......"
