Chapter 69: The Broken Dragon Stone
Just as Arbitrary's little face turned pale, dazed, and delirious, he heard footsteps approaching him.
"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Arbitrarily felt his hands untied, and then someone was lowered from the post, and then someone kept slapping his face, and he could faintly hear someone shouting in his ear.
"Senior brother, senior brother, wake up ......"
He opened his eyes in a daze, but he was weak enough to open a gap.
In his confusion, he seemed to see the Buddha, a head whose face could not be seen clearly, and a halo of light radiated behind the head.
He narrowed his eyes, there was indeed a glow from the back of that head, not an illusion.
The glare of light from the back of the man's head entered any eye without weakening, so that he could not see the man's face clearly, and could only see a vague majestic figure exuding a glorious image, looking at him condescendingly and with concern.
"Senior brother, senior brother, it's me."
"Little ...... Little junior brother, you ...... How did you become a Buddha? Fast...... Go tell the master, Liu ...... Liu Tang and the others were poured out by my medicine, and they can carry out the corpse refining ceremony. "I tried my best, but I could only make a gossamer sound.
"Senior brother, what kind of ritual is corpse refining? And where is the master? In order not to faint, the man asked and slapped Arbitrari in the face vigorously, and soon his face was swollen.
"Refining corpses...... It is...... Oh, no! You are not a junior brother, who are you? "Arbitrarily suddenly sobered up, and he didn't even know about refining corpses, how could he be his little junior brother?
His master, his senior brother is refining corpses in the basement hall, how could he not know the corpse refining ceremony, this person in front of him must be a fake.
"Senior brother, you don't know me anymore, I am the little junior brother, the little junior brother who admires you the most. I still remember when I was a child, we were punished by our master when we were children, or did you secretly come to help us, senior brother! ”
The man said in a solemn and affectionate tone, and at the same time adjusted the lantern behind his head with his hand, so that the "Buddha light" could shine at a more appropriate angle.
"Ah, you...... What a little junior brother. He continued to whisper in a daze, but in his heart he thought: My name is actually Yiren, and Arbitrary is the pseudonym I just used, if he didn't know my real name, there was a flaw here, and I was really deceived by him, but how did he know about me and my junior brothers when I was a child?
"Senior Brother Any, do you remember? That time, we angered the master and were severely punished by the master, but fortunately, senior brother, you! "The man was making up random things about his junior and younger children.
"Oh, yes, that time you were caught stealing tribute, the master opened your butt and flowers, or the medicinal wine I helped you rub, you are the little junior brother, I recognize it." said this casually, but in his heart, he thought: How can the back of this person's head still glow, it's too evil, could it be him? Can they really become Buddhas and ancestors in Shaolin Temple?
By the way, it's him, only he can do sorcery.
And the man guessed about what happened when they were young: as long as there are junior brothers and sisters, there are always a few bear children when they are young, and there are always a few times when they are inevitably punished by the master, and in a harmonious teacher, there will always be a few senior brothers and sisters who come out to take care of it.
Following this line of thought, the man made it up vaguely, not involving specific things, but only talking about it in a big way, but he didn't expect it to be really right, so that he could "believe" himself.
He grabbed the man's hand weakly and said in a low but strong voice: "Little junior brother, go and tell the master, go and stop the master from starting the corpse refining ceremony." I have now caught a lot of sacrifices, and I told the master to sacrifice these people first, so that the energy of the ritual can be enhanced, and then the corpse refining ritual will be started. Otherwise, the ritual will fail due to lack of energy, and the eighty-one people who are the celebrants will also die because of the failure of the ritual. ”
Knowing that it was not the little junior brother in front of him, but the "good man" Xiahou who had been stopping the dead and constantly saving people, he arbitrarily guessed that after he knew that there would be deaths, he would definitely save people.
So, he arbitrarily decided to trick him into going to his master, asking him to "inform" the master that he had succeeded, or to attract the master's attention and lure the brothers over.
Listening to his words, Xiahou also understood that the Taoist priest and the arbitrary were in a group, and the reason why they attacked the Jianghu clan before and now turned them over was that they wanted to arrest Liu Tang and them as sacrifices.
The reasons why the old Taoist priest pushed him away before also understood, one was that they were not strong enough to take it, and the other reason was that they buried this nail arbitrarily, wanting him to solve the Jianghu people from the inside.
arbitrarily lived up to expectations, and after gaining Liu Tang's trust, he turned them over, just enough to capture them bloodlessly and make sacrifices for the corpse refining ceremony.
After turning Liu Tang and them with arbitrary medicine just now, he originally planned to find the old Taoist priest and inform them to come and carry Liu Tang and them to the sacrifice, but they ran into Xiahou as soon as they went out.
Originally, he also wanted to turn his medicine over, but Xiahou was too cunning, and saw through the sweat medicine in the porridge, but he was subdued by him.
Fortunately, he used a fake name at the beginning, and he didn't know his real name, so he saw his feet.
Now let him go to his master, let him become a sacrifice for the corpse refining ceremony, and his task will be completed.
Xiahou still wanted to ask some questions, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fainted completely.
Xiahou called him hard and beat him, but he couldn't wake up a person who pretended to be dizzy.
Xia Hou was helpless, and a little regretted that he had sprinkled too much sweat medicine on the wound on his wrist just now?
Xia Hou tied his arbitrary backhand to the pillar again, but immediately thought that if he left like this, if Liu Tang and the others woke up, wouldn't his life be in danger?
After checking it, fortunately, the door of this warehouse was open inward, and Xiahou found a rectangular stone, and according to its length and shape, dug a rectangular pit close to the door.
After digging the pit, Xiahou left the door ajar, and placed the stone upright on the edge of the pit, one end flush with the edge of the pit away from the door.
Then he took hold of the door with one hand, and gently pushed the stone with the other, and the stone was crooked, and leaned against the door, and the stone was leaning against the door with one end.
Xia Hou came out of the half-open door and let go of his hand, the door was pushed shut by the gravity of the stone, and the stone also fell into the pit because of its weight, one end just against the door, and the other end against the edge of the pit in the distance.
So the door was shut up with stones, and the stones were sunk in the pit, and no one could move. A simple dragon-breaker mechanism was made.
Xiahou pushed the door hard, but the door did not move.
If only I had given a little more time, and the edges of the small pit with the top of the stone were made of stone, the broken dragon stone would be stronger. Xiahou thought triumphantly.
Xiahou tied a wooden bolt to the outside of the door again, so that the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in, so he should be safe for the time being, as for what he would do in the future after he survived tonight, Xiahou didn't think about it.
Then, Xiahou tied Liu Tang and them to the pillar again, and then put a broken dragon stone in their door, tied a wooden bolt to the outside of the door, and made a secret room.
For their safety, Xiahou took great pains.
