Chapter 727: The Broken Ancient Book
It took a lot of effort, and in the end, the Khitan soldiers of several hundred people just worked together to break one of the little fingers of the thief Lao Si, and they couldn't break the other fingers anymore.
"Returning to the national teacher, this prisoner doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, and he can't break his hand alive or dead, and we are worried about tearing the book in his hand, so we don't dare to do it again. National teacher, if you don't think so, we'll help you cut off this guy's hand, and you can take it back with you. One of the leading leaders of the Khitan soldiers proposed.
"Bastard, do you want to scare your national division to death? How can I cut off this man's hands together, and what do I want his hands for? Wuwei Dao scolded angrily.
"That'...... Why don't we chop off his hand first, and how about we slowly help the national teacher find a way to take down the book in his hand? Otherwise, it's getting late now, and it's not easy for us to do it, what do you think, national teacher? ”
Wuwei Taoist thought for a while and compromised: "Okay, just do what you said, first cut off this book for me along with his hand, and then slowly cut off the rest for him after we go back." ”
"Okay, the little ones will cut off this person's hand for the national teacher."
After a while, one of the thieves' fourth hand, which was holding the ancient book tightly, was cut off, and the hand was still holding the book in his hand tightly.
"National teacher, look, this hand has been cut off, you say it's magical, this book can't even be taken off from it, and I don't know how hard this prisoner used to catch this book so firmly." The head of the sect cut off that hand and shook it ostentatiously in front of the Wuwei Daoist.
The Wuwei Taoist glanced at the bloody hand, and almost vomited all the overnight meal. "Pick me up, don't sway in front of me, disgusting and panicking."
"Yes. National teacher, how did you say that this corpse was disposed of for him, this was originally a mass grave, should you bury him on the spot? ”
Wuwei Taoist looked at the thief Lao Si's blind appearance and was disgusted, and said viciously to the sect leader: "This prisoner is a heinous crime, and he didn't return my things to me until he died, how can I cheap him and let him go directly to the ground?" On my orders, the body of this man was cremated for me, and the ashes left over from the burn were thrown into the river to feed the fish. ”
The head of the sect looked at the corpse of the thief Lao Si who had a broken hand and shook his head, who told you to offend someone who should not be offended, naturally there will be no good end for you. I'm also acting on orders, if you want to blame, blame the Wuwei Taoist, don't come to pester me.
Wuwei Daoist directly cremated the body of the thief Lao Si because of the destruction of the corpse, so as not to let You Ruohua find out that he had killed his fourth brother, and also because the fourth Lao died a rare death, so it was better to cremate him.
In order to prevent You Ruohua from recognizing this severed hand after going back, Wuwei Dao ordered the Khitan soldiers to put this hand and the ancient book into a wooden box and bring it back. Seeing that it was getting late, and the Wuwei Taoist was like an arrow, he was going to go back and read it at night, and study the secrets in this book. Now that he is caught by the tiger's mouth in the right hand of the thief, there is no way to open this book and find out.
As soon as he returned to Xingtianguan, You Ruohua was guarding at the door, and when he saw the sedan chair of Wuwei Taoist coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw that only the master came out of the sedan chair, he asked puzzledly: "Master, why did your old man come back so late?" The apprentice has been waiting here for you to come back with the fourth brother. Hey? What about the fourth brother? Didn't he come back with you, master? ”
Wuwei Daoist pretended to be sad and replied: "Disciple, the master has not been able to keep your fourth brother, because of the things he did wrong before, he knows that he has no face to come to see you again, so after giving me his private belongings, he went to a far away place alone. He said he wanted to go to a new place and be a new person. I tried to persuade him to come back with me and practice with you, but he said he would come back to you after he had done something. I saw that he was genuinely repentant, and it didn't seem like a joke, so I agreed to his request and let him go. ”
You Ruohua was very sad when he heard the master say that his fourth brother had run away, and when he saw the wooden box in the hand of Wuwei Daoist, he knew that this must be the stolen goods he had hidden before, and he was even more convinced of what Wuwei Daoist said.
He wiped his tears and said sadly: "I didn't expect that in just half a day, my good buddies who have lived together for more than ten years have left me, and I originally wanted my fourth brother to accompany me to practice, but I didn't expect that even he would do something to hide his belongings, so that now he has no face to see me, I will naturally forgive him, why should he say goodbye?" ”
Wuwei Taoist comforted: "Don't be sad, disciples, although we who have entered the Tao and practiced did not say that we must cut off the seven emotions and six desires, it is best not to ignore these mortal worlds. What the teacher will teach you in the future is the best Taoism, so naturally there should be no one else to interfere with you. These are your fates and the fates of your brothers, so they will all leave you, don't think about it, practice by my side well, help do things for the teacher, and naturally you will be able to achieve positive results. ”
Listening to the bewitchment of the Wuwei Taoist, You Ruohua also woke up from his sadness, and said urgently: "Master, you quickly teach me how to practice, and the apprentice will become like the master in the future." ”
"There is no rush in the cultivation of this kind of thing, the coming days are long, there are still important things to do for the teacher today, you can go back to the room to rest first, and wait until tomorrow for the teacher to teach you how to start with the most basic practice, how about it?"
"Okay, the apprentice will go back to the room to rest first, if the master has a place where he needs an apprentice, he can call me at any time, and the apprentice will definitely come to the master immediately."
"Good apprentice, go back and rest, it's enough to be a teacher."
persuaded You Ruohua away, and Wuwei Taoist brought a group of Khitan soldiers to the Taoist hall where he specialized in meditation. Opened the wooden box, and looked at the bloody hand that seemed to grasp the ancient book more tightly than just now, and the indescribable anger of the Taoist knew that he should have dismantled this person's body and then thrown it into the fire to burn, and it shouldn't be so cheap for him.
The Khitan soldiers tried together several more times, and although they did not completely pull the book out of the hands of the thief Lao Si, only a corner was left that had not been taken down.
Seeing that he was about to get this miraculous ancient book that was said by the thief Lao Si, Wuwei Taoist excitedly urged: "Give me my hands and feet faster, oops, it's too slow, let me come in person!" ”
"Shhhh
"Oops, oops!"
Because Wuwei Daoist was too excited and didn't control the strength in his hand, he accidentally tore off half of the last page from the ancient book and left it in the fingers of the thief Xiaosi.
