Chapter 31: The Pact
Long before the birth of the giant python, Tu Yashi was full of longing for a mysterious future, and the fortune calculations of the human world could no longer meet their needs, and they pursued the ability to predict the future with high accuracy. After completing the exploration of snow-capped mountains, deserts, and deep mountains, generation after generation of Tuya people began to devote themselves to shipbuilding and going to sea, seeking immortal power from the vast deep sea.
The ocean is always full of dangers and treasures. During an adventurous voyage to the sea, the elders of the Tu Ya clan encountered a terrible storm, which was the largest storm ever, the wind swept up dark clouds, the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and people lost all their abilities on land in the vast sea, and could only be swallowed by the waves.
In the midst of the huge waves, an elder actually saw many red and black characters appear behind the purple lightning, and he didn't have time to see them clearly. The elder believed that there must be some mysterious power that could help them predict the future.
This elder survived the sea and returned to his clan to tell his people what he had seen, not hoping that future generations would be able to crack the secret. The elder died soon after, and Elder Utu was the elder's successor.
Hong Yi recounted the origin of Elder Utu, and there was a bit of regret in his words. Elder Utu followed the instructions of his ancestors and devoted his life to discovering the secrets of Minni, but in the end, he could not ask for the law.
"Mini Clan?" asked Hefei.
Elder Utu said: "When the ancestors and elders went to sea to see the land of strange characters, it is said that there was an ancient country, and the name of the ancient country was 'Mini'. Because of this, the country is deep in the sea, and the writing is difficult and ancient and difficult to understand, and I have studied it for thousands of years, but I only know a few scratches. I was really ashamed, and in addition to concentrating on research, I had cleared up many other ancient characters. β
He sighed: "If there really is such an ancient country in the world, I am afraid it has long been erased from the map." β
Elder Utu had a strange look on his face, "Exactly, exactly. Later, I led a fleet of ships to the Rupan Sea several times, and I never encountered the mysterious characters of my ancestors, only a few empty islands, full of volcanic ash and icy rocks, presumably where volcanic eruptions caused the disappearance of such a powerful clan. β
Shen Ling said: "Most of the people killed by 096 have their own secrets. Perhaps some kind of civilization is where he belongs. β
Lou Che said: "Elder Utu came just in time. Now we can't figure out the true identity of Zero Ninety-Six, but he sent several notes. If Elder Utu could recognize the contents of the note, the immediate difficulty would be solved. β
Elder Utu begged for a note and looked at it, but he was puzzled: "Elder Haihan." is also a matter of urgency, and the notes sent by 096 before have been destroyed without exception, but at this moment, there is not a single one. β
Among the gods, only Lou Che had glimpsed the note at the funeral, and the giant spirit asked someone to bring him a pen and paper, Lou Che tried his best to recall the situation of that day, and said, "I really can't remember." The note was narrow and wrinkled, and the handwriting was more like a symbol, and only the handwriting was lighter and barely recognizable. β
As he spoke, he drew a few more strokes on the paper, crookedly, unable to ask for the law, and put down the pen in despair.
Hong Yiyi: "This immortal heard that the trick of using symbols to harm people can be the same as the Western head-lowering technique, so that the master will be covered with bad luck and die inexplicably." I wonder if the note you're talking about is also one of those spells?"
Ju Ling shook his head and said, "Not like that." With the style of '096', every time after sending a note, he will kill people with his own hands. If the note was really some kind of vicious spell, why did he bother with it?"
He Yan remembered that the Xuangu Ghost Mother had also received a yellow note, so he said, "Maybe this note has some special meaning." Elder Utu has always been obsessed with this business, so I don't know what to say?"
Utu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen those notes with my own eyes, so I don't dare to speak easily. It's just that when I was studying ancient civilizations, I once saw a kind of law called 'sin pact'. In many small countries of East Vietnam, it was also popular that if a prisoner committed a crime, he must draw a prison himself, and then make a wooden plank, and destroy it by fire before the execution of the death penalty to show the heavens and announce the crime, which is called the 'crime deed'. β
Shen Ling smiled and said: "Isn't it that 096 regards himself as a judge, and he has to issue a crime contract before killing, does he want to kill innocents indiscriminately or not?"
Judging from the previous encounters, in the eyes of Zero Ninety-Six, the so-called "crime contract" is more like a pass to kill, just like the executioner received a beheading order. This person is very principled, and if a person is named in the name of a criminal contract, he will inevitably die.
He sighed: "If Elder Utu can crack the strange runes on the sin contract, maybe the identity of Zero Nine-Six will be revealed." β
Now we have to wait for the next pact to appear in order to unravel the truth behind the fog. Is it really just a coincidence that a few deeds of sin were destroyed by accident one after another? Or is there really some power to control life and death on this small note, which is difficult for the living to perceive?
Juluo said: "Zero Ninety-Six has only left scars on the body of the immortal on Chifeng Boxian so far, and has never really exerted his own mana, where he is taught, and which realm he came from, I'm afraid it's still a mystery." β
Utu said: "It is unlikely that this person is from Shangqing or Underworld. According to what you said, 096 is good at resourcefulness, profound mana, and familiar with the gods, and will be able to change his appearance, such a character is carefully cultivated, and it will take at least three hundred years, how can there be no record?"
Shen smiled without saying a word, and said with a huge spirit: "So far, 096 has done it with some characters with heads and faces, but I can't figure out where these immortals offended him and caused such a murderous disaster." β
Hong Yi suddenly said in a deep voice: "Please be sure to investigate this matter, don't let the truth sink into the sea because of your face." β
The giant spirit was stunned for a moment, and Fu nodded again. What Hong Yi is most afraid of is that Chi Fengbo and others really found out something dirty, and the giant spirit is afraid of the reputation of Shangqing and conceals it, which makes 096 even more rampant.
He Mo and Shen Yan glanced at each other, but their hearts were like mirrors. As early as not long after the Landian Lake murder occurred, He Yan found out that Chi Fengbo had assassinated Jieyu and framed Tu Ya Xiwu in the name of the bottom of the spiritual confession cave, but he never said it because of his face at that time.
If this time it is really to go through the secrets of such gods as Yuanjun and Yu Yujun, the gods have their own thoughts, and I don't know how much obstruction they will receive?
......
The maidservant wiped the drops of water from his hair, and sent them all out.
There were no candles in the temple, and bathing in darkness was a habit that he had not abandoned for many years. In the most fragile moments when he was naked, the dark wrap seemed to bring him some peace of mind.
Phi Fu walked out of the water hall and suddenly noticed the presence of a person in the darkness. In the dim moonlight, I saw the man sitting quietly opposite a painting he had drawn a few days earlier.
He was stunned, and he was about to make a move, but the man said lightly, "Goddess Mi Ning is beautiful, right?"
His pupils dilated, and he shot out a cold light for a while, and said coldly: "It's you." β
The man's voice was unusually calm, "I came for you on purpose. β
Phi Fu's face was gloomy, and his fingertips lit up a hideous karmic fire, "The entire Six Realms are looking for you, and you dare to come here." β
Patches of dark flames emitted a pale light, reflecting the shadows of the two on the wall. Standing and sitting, the one who sat seemed to have expected it, smiled lightly, "If I can come, I can go." I'm here to talk to you about a business. β
Seeing the other party looking at the painting on the wall, he immediately waved his hand to collect the scroll, and said, "What are you going to do?"
The man said, "I'll give you a gift, a gift that can be counted as sincere." However, there are some costs to be paid for this gift, and you can choose to accept or decline it yourself. β
Phi Fu's narrow eyes narrowed, and his words didn't show too much emotion, "Why do you think I'm interested in this bargaining chip, or are you so sure I'll accept your 'gift'?"
The man stood up, his form melting into the night.
"Of course, what ifβthat chip is what you have?"
