Chapter 67: The Truth

Yihao walked out of the ward with a sad face with the spirit sword in his hand, but he was immediately startled, not only Lin Heng in front of him, but even Jiang Shui ran over somehow, and seemed to have been waiting for him outside the door. "Old Jiang, why are you here?"

"Well, I went to the Demon Hunting Association to deal with a deal, and I happened to run into Ah Heng, so I came over together......" Lao Jiang patted the fan and walked over, reaching out to climb Yihao's shoulder, but the voice was not very friendly. Then again, Yihao, you don't seem to have tried the taste of 'Tarzan Pressing the Top', right? ”

"Huh?" Yihao shuddered reflexively when he heard this, but just as he was about to turn around and slip away, Lin Heng also forced over, and Jiang Shui grabbed him alone, completely ignoring the resistance, dragged him into a secret room next to him, and immediately began to carry out the torture that they called "the punishment of Mount Tai".

The so-called "Tarzan crushing punishment" requires two executioners, who first press the victim to the ground, one of whom sits on the victim's back and twists his one hand backwards, while the other sits behind and bends the victim's feet backwards. Because of the weight of the two people on their backs, coupled with the fact that the joints were restrained, the tortured person had no possibility of escaping at all, and could only endure the pain that was constantly approaching the limit in the complete screams of the heavens, so it was really a rather terrifying punishment.

It is worth mentioning that the conditions for the execution of this punishment are actually very simple, as long as any two of the three people agree on this, the third person can be punished, but since they set this rule, this is the first time that Lin Heng has played the role of the executioner.

"Woo-a-aa-aa! Stop, stop! Don't! I'm recruiting! I'll do anything! ”

Yihao slapped the floor with his remaining right hand, screaming out the earth, but the sound insulation of the thick wooden door was so good that the demon hunters who came and went outside didn't even notice that the terrible scene was going on in the place next the wall.

"Say!" Lin Heng bent his leg hard, and his voice was full of vicious tone. "What the hell is going on! Why is Sister Chi You the legendary fierce god of eternity? And how can they live in your house? ”

"She's a Chiyou!" Yihao cried out aggrievedly. "For thousands of years, she has been sealed in the Qiankun Ding by the Yellow Emperor, but the Qiankun Ding was destroyed by the Xuanyuan Sword, and at that time she was also released, and she fought with the Imperial Dragon, but she was sucked off most of her divine power by this magic tool...... As for staying in my house, it's because the Emperor Dragon entrusted me to watch over her! ”

"Imperial Dragon?" In the eyes of mortals, the four gods such as the Vermilion Bird and the Green Dragon were already the supreme beings, so for Lin Heng, "Huanglong" was a rather unfamiliar name. However, Jiang Shui frowned thoughtfully, and after a long time, his whole body shook violently, and he confirmed to Yihao in a rare panicked tone. "Hey, Yihao, what did you say...... Could it be the dragon god who rules the four directions and reigns in Penglai? ”

"What? Are there gods above the gods of the four directions? Lin Heng's eyes widened in disbelief. I thought Suzaku Xingjun had already reached the top......"

"No, Suzaku is just the patron saint of the south of Penglai, and the imperial dragon is the supreme god who rules Penglai, and it is also the strongest supreme god in the red world, otherwise how can he subdue the Chiyou of the fierce god of the ages?" Yihao said triumphantly.

"It turns out that what is written in the ancient book is true......" Jiang Shui nodded, but his hand shook unconsciously, so Yihao below suddenly screamed again. Wait a minute! Why would the Imperial Dragon ask you to look at Chiyou? Also, isn't Penglai an isolated god realm? How did you get in! ”

"I'm a member of the Phoenix! Of course qualified to go in! Yihao grinned. Although he did feel happy when he played the role of executioner in the past, after changing positions now, he regretted from the bottom of his heart that he had voted for the punishment of Guò.

"This thing has sucked most of Chiyou's demidivine power, that's why she listens to me." Yihao raised his right hand as if he gestured, letting Jiang Shui look at the Demon Eye totem above. "That's what Gabriel gave me, I told you last time! I don't know anything other than that it's called the Egg of Chaos. ”

“…… Stinky boy, he actually hid so much from us! Jiang Shui knocked Yihao's head with a fan, scolding with such a smile. But it seems that you told the truth this time, so I will forgive you. With that, Jiang Shui let go of Yihao and stood up, but Lin Heng was a little reluctant to pull it up a few more times, but was kicked out by Yihao with a backleg, and then rushed up and stepped on it a few times, finally spitting out a little resentment.

"That's right, Yihao," Jiang Shui walked to the side of the sand and sat down, opened the folding fan and shook it gently, assuming a posture of staying out of the matter. "Although my question is generally clear, it is better to ask again just in case, is there anything else you want to tell us?"

"Uh......" This question made Yihao who came over struggle for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and simply told the matter of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation and Jingyu, anyway, there is no point in concealing it now. …… That's it, nothing else. ”

After listening to his narration, Jiang Shui rubbed his temples like a headache, closed his eyes and was silent for two or three seconds, and then continued. "Let me sort it out, first you exchanged it for this magic tool from Gabriel with a bun, and then accidentally saved the Tianhu Jingyu who faced the Nine Days of Thunder Tribulation, and then won the favor of Suzaku when he fought with the demon wolf, and went to Penglai after becoming the family of the phoenix, but he happened to encounter the Xuanyuan Ding seal broken, and was involved in the battle between Chiyou and Huanglong, and recovered her with this magic tool, and finally the eternal fierce god and the nine-tailed sky fox lived in your house as a diner...... Is that so? ”

“…… Unbelievable, right? Yihao fully understood Jiang Shui's mood and took the opportunity to defend himself. That's why I didn't tell you all at that time, otherwise you would never have believed it. ”

"That's true, but it's hard to believe even now......" Jiang Shui shook his head with a wry smile, and then reached out and pulled Yihao's head to look left and right. Looking horizontally and vertically, it is an extremely ordinary face, how can so many things fall on you? Hmm, give me your birthday next time, and I'll go back and do the math. ”

"Wait, you're talking about the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation...... Could it be that thing in the valley? Lin Heng interjected and looked at Yihao's right hand over and over again. Obediently, such a terrifying heavenly thunder is stored in this thing, and I can't feel it at all, what the hell is this? Didn't Gabriel sue you? ”

"Nonsense, I want to know too." Yihao fell weakly on the coffee table in front of him.

Syllable! Jiang Shui, who was next to him, put away the folding fan with a violent movement, attracting the attention of the two, and saw that the student president's face was showing an expression as if he had made up his mind. "Originally, I didn't plan to say it, but this magic tool seems to be really extraordinary, so Yihao, you still know better, have you ever heard of ...... name 'Dark Guild'?"

"The Dark Guild?" Yihao shook his head of course.

"Of course, because even in the Demon Hunting Association, this is a name that only a very few people know." Jiang Shui's face became solemn. "The era when alchemy was most prevalent was in Europe in the Dark Middle Ages, when alchemists were free to make contracts with the demons of hell and use their magic to create various magic tools with unique functions, like the 'Eggs of Chaos' in your hands."

"But, weren't they suppressed by the Holy See later?"

This is what Yihao heard from the angel Gabriel, but Jiang Shui shook his head.

"It was indeed suppressed, but it was not destroyed, and many of the bloodlines of the dark alchemists were passed down in the shadows, and they were showing their power in places that the Holy See could not see. In fact, many of the oldest surviving families in Europe are descendants of them, and the Dark Guild is an organization under their management that aims to revive alchemy...... With the help of demonic powers, of course. ”

"It sounds dangerous...... Yihao could only sigh like this.

"It's not that it sounds dangerous, but it's actually extremely dangerous." Jiang Shui accentuated his tone. "They regard the magic tools sealed by the Holy See as the legacy of their ancestors, and they will seize them at any cost, so they have secretly had many conflicts with the Holy See, and this thing in your hand may be one of the goals they want to capture, but it was only obtained by you by chance."

Jiang Shui frowned and stared at the Demon Eye Totem, which made Yihao involuntarily nervous. "Uh, it's not that dangerous, is it? After all, this is the sacred land of Kyushu under the protection of the gods of the four directions, and it is not in Europe, so it is not so easy for demons to get involved. ”

"If you look at it purely from the perspective of the Red World, of course my Shenzhou is not afraid of anyone, but the Dark Guild has a force that cannot be ignored even in the mortal world, if they use the power of the mortal world to plot against you, even if they have the protection of Suzaku, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of it." Jiang Shui shook his head and denied Yihao's idea. "I will use my family connections to investigate the origin of this Chaos Egg, and until I reach a conclusion, Yihao, don't use the power of this magic tool again. Don't even let anyone see the crest of the MONOCULUS again, if possible. ”

"It's okay not to use force, but it's not ...... people to see this thing," Yihao looked at the lines that extended from the palm of his hand to his upper arm, and said embarrassedly, "Even if you wear gloves, you can't cover it, right?" ”

"Well, let me think about it." Jiang Shui tapped his forehead with a fan, pondered for about ten seconds, then stood up and walked out, and when he came back a few minutes later, there was already something extra in his hand. "Thankfully, they still have one that they haven't sent out. Yihao, you put it on first, and I'll adjust it if it's not suitable. ”

Yihao took the thing handed by Jiang Shui, and now this is a uniquely shaped gauntlet, the surface is dark and condensed, although it seems to have a metallic texture when knocked, but it is extremely light to hold. Yihao put it on, and the gauntlet automatically extended to his shoulder, which surprised him. "Old ginger, what is this?"

"This is the Xuanjia Gauntlet, one of the standard labor protection equipment of the Demon Hunting Association, which is similar to a shield." Jiang Shui replied casually, while carefully observing Yihao's right hand wrapped in armor, and nodded with satisfaction. "Well, it seems that the fit is good, you can try it again."

"Oh......" Yihao tried to wave his fist, and the coordination between the scales and armor of the handguard was extremely round, and it didn't seem to affect his movements at all. But isn't that more suspicious? ”

"There's no need to worry, after all, the Xuanjia Gauntlet was originally a commodity for hand-to-hand demon hunters like Iron Gate disciples, and Yihao, you are a descendant of the Iron Family, so you won't be suspicious." Speaking of this, Jiang Shui added as if he remembered something. "Ah, by the way, this one you brought is the latest model from '07, the kind with a blanking function."

Jiang Shui said and knocked on a certain place on the gauntlet, the gauntlet that originally wrapped the entire right arm was instantly reduced to the size of a fingerless glove, and a dark red trademark was printed on the corner of the glove, with the word "Tianfu" written on it.

Yihao looked at this qiē wordlessly, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Shui. “…… I've been wondering since just now, old Jiang, what the hell are you doing? How could the Dark Guild know so well? ”

"Didn't I sue you?" Jiang Shui shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "My family is in business."

"Businessman?" Yihao was stunned, but his eyes became evil in the next second.

"That's right, it's a business, but the goods you buy are just 'magic weapons'." Jiang Shui explained calmly. "And the Dark Union, they're just a customer of my family."

……………………

After leaving the Demon Hunting Association, Yihao returned home in a daze, and the frolicking sound of Chiyou and Otohime came from afar, which made him feel relieved, and when he pushed the door in, he unexpectedly saw Jingyu sitting in the living room, looking sad at the desk phone.

"Jingyu, what are you doing?" Yihao walked over with some curiosity.

"Ah, Lang Jun, are you back?" Jingyu, who heard his greeting, stood up in a panic, came over to take off Yihao's coat, and hung it on the hanger on the side. "Dinner is ready, does Lang Jun want to eat now? Or let the concubine make you a cup of tea first? ”

"It doesn't matter, but has anyone called? It's rare to see you flustered, could it be my father...... Uh, wouldn't it? Yihao, who was originally joking, couldn't help but be taken aback by his own speculation, and confirmed to Jingyu in a panic. Is it really my dad? He...... What did he say? ”

"Well, Father......" Jingyu paused, as if she felt that this title was a little inappropriate. Uncle just asked me some questions, and finally asked me to tell Lang Jun that Sister Tielan will come back on tomorrow's plane, please go to the airport to pick it up...... Pimp? Y-What's wrong with you? ”
