Chapter 8: The Star-Swallowing Compass

Swallow the astrolabe?

It seems to be the name of a compass.

I hurriedly took out the compass I had just picked up and handed it out, "Are you talking about this?" ”

When Elder Yang heard this, he looked at me.

Others also looked sideways.

Shocked and at the same time, there was a lot of discussion: "Oops! The compass looked exactly like the Star Swallowing Scroll drawn on Zhong Tianshi's Codex, how could that thing be in his hands? ”

Elder Yang also cast a puzzled look at me.

I hurriedly explained: "This is what I picked up, just now the temple statue exploded when the compass exploded, I saw that this thing is simple workmanship, different other gold and silver luxury things in the temple not to mention, there is a faint purple gas on the plate, it seems not to be a mortal thing, I feel that it is a pity to blow up, so I brought it out." ”

"You can pull it down!"

The werewolf heavenly master said disdainfully: "I think you have seen good things, and you want to take the sheep for yourself." ”

I...

I do want to take this compass that appeared out of thin air back and study it, but it's not as ugly as you say, is it?

Since now you say that this is called the Star Swallowing Disk, and it is related to the White Volcano Sealing Demon, then you can take it back.

I handed the compass out.

The werewolf celestial master's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.

Elder Yang glanced at him lightly, and he retracted his hand.

"You...."

Elder Yang looked thoughtfully at me and the compass in my hand, "What's your name?" ”

Now the stakes are so high that I have to explain clearly, so I have to answer whatever others ask, so I have to be neither humble nor arrogant: "My name is Xiao Shouyi....."

"Huh!?"

Who knew that before the words were finished, there was an uproar, and the heavenly masters pointed at me one by one: "He is Xiao Shouyi?" The scourge that was born twenty-four years ago. ”

When I heard this, I was puzzled: Why is my fame so big, even the people in Fengchi Heavenly Master's Mansion know about it?

Those people are still going on.

One of them replied, "Isn't he?" ”

"Twenty-four years ago, in the courtyard of the Xiao family, the Yuan Dynasty was prosperous, and Yingfu guarded his heart. One auspicious and one fierce, the evil star is him. The Xiao family, who he was born with, died of madness, and he didn't even find his bones. ”

"No wonder,"

Elder Yang's eyes, who were listening to the discussions of the Heavenly Masters, also changed: "No wonder you were able to break the seal of the Wahuang Temple and bring out the Star Swallowing Disk, it turns out that you have such an identity." ”

"It's not,"

I didn't carry this pot, and hurriedly argued: "I didn't do it." Not long after we entered, the Wahuang Temple was on fire, and before that I saw a man break the seal with a vajra. ”

"Still quibble!"

The werewolf Heavenly Master conjured up a big thing with two pointed points in the middle out of nowhere, and threw it in front of me with a "dang long": "This vajra was found from you just now, and you dare to say that it wasn't you who broke the seal?" ”

When I took a look, it was really the vajra that I had just picked up on the ground of the Wahuang Temple.

I thought it was the star brother, but no one wanted it.

Now it's a hundred mouths and I can't tell.

The elder surnamed Yang was even more firm in his judgment: "Well, that's right. ”

"There is a metaphor on the fragment of the Heavenly Master's Mansion that at the beginning of Gengzi, a fierce star descended on the land of the White Volcano to seal the demons, broke the seal, and the demons rose up and left."

"So far, the world is in turmoil, and the demons are out."

"If you don't handle it properly, the evil star should be the head of the demons. The Heavenly Master's Mansion should hook the murderous star through the pipa bone with a hanging corpse and lock it in the Feilai Mountain Qianxun Tower. ”

me.

Is this an iron heart to put the hat on my head?

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the Eight Qian Heavenly Masters around him rushed up and wanted to arrest me.

"Slow!"

Elder Yang stopped them: "But the scriptures also say that those who swallow the astrolabe are the ones who seal the demons. Xiao Shouyi, you can bring out the astrophic scroll to prove that the demon you released should be taken back by you, right? ”

It makes sense.

But I didn't let it out!

Elder Yang had a look of surprise on his face: "I'll give you two choices, either you will be imprisoned in the Qianxun Tower for the rest of your life." Either use the astrophic scroll as a guide to capture all the demons who escaped from the White Volcano. ”

"You pick one."

it!

With such a brutal condition, of course I chose two.

Who the wants to be locked up in the tower for the rest of their lives?

Although the second choice is good, there is still a chance to turn the tables.

After I find out which Wang Ba Lamb released the demon, I have to beat him fat and send him to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to wear the pipa bone well.

Damn it.

"Good,"

Seeing that I agreed, Elder Yang was very satisfied and touched his white beard: "You are free for the time being, but don't think about not doing things or running away." The people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion will be watching you at any time. ”

"Don't worry."

I glanced at Elder Yang weakly: "I still want to find out who did today's incident!" ”

"Elder Yang,"

The Werewolf Heavenly Master originally sharpened his knife against me, with a happy expression of not killing me, but when he heard the ruling of Elder Yang, who had absolute right to speak, he had nothing to say, so he could only ask, "What now?" ”

Elder Yang immediately decided: "Go back to Minghe Mountain and report this matter to the Great Heavenly Master." ”

Before leaving, he solemnly patted me on the shoulder and warned in a serious tone: "Boy, you can't be lazy!" Go ahead and do what you have to do. ”

With that, he shoved something into my mouth.

It was soft, and it smelled a bit like plum candy.

And melt in your mouth.

As soon as I ate it, my body immediately didn't hurt and I could still move, and I hurriedly crawled over to see Jiang Huo who fell not far away, but I saw that Jiang Huo was motionless, he wouldn't die, right?

"Ahhhh

Just when I blamed myself for not taking good care of Jiang Huo, he suddenly let out a series of screams: "I don't want to live anymore!" The dead people on my body took advantage of the chaos in the White Volcano just now, and all ran away. ”

When I heard it, I wondered, "Isn't it a good thing for the dead to leave you?" Why do you still call death alive? ”

Jiang Huo sat up with a carp, but his face was as dead as ashes: "They are leaving, but before leaving, they said that they will come back." It's going to come back to me, what am I going to do? ”

"As soon as they come back, I'll beat my mom every day and live a life of the walking dead."

"Do you think I'd better be dead?"

That's right.

As soon as I heard it, I remembered that Jiang Huo was a heartless person, he was the best container for the dead, and he walked in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves.

After the things under the white volcano run out, most of them will go to him.

After all, there is a person's skin on the top, not only can they walk under the sun, not to mention where they want to go, but when they encounter danger, this skin will suffer first.

Why not?

But Jiang Huo himself is miserable.

If he becomes a walking cave of ten thousand ghosts, his last bit of wisdom will also be assimilated, and he will no longer be able to be himself, and he will be a walking corpse in the future.

Not even The Walking Dead, just a tool.

He didn't do anything wrong, so why should he end up like this?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly found the pen and cinnabar I brought, drew a charm on Jiang Huo's forehead, ears and the Baihui point on the top of his head, and told him not to wash it for twelve days.

Twelve days later, Jiang lived past his fortieth birthday, and there were no taboos.

After everything was done, Jiang Huo asked me: "Little brother, I heard what those people in the Heavenly Master's Mansion said just now, how are you going to catch the escaped demons?" ”

"Isn't this a swallowing astrolabe?"

I glanced at the ordinary compass in my hand and said, "And my master!" He must have a way, go back and ask him for help, and the two of us will seal the demon together. ”

Just then, the phone rang.

Pick up a caller ID: Old man.

Speak of the devil!

I picked it up and was just about to speak, when I heard that the other end of the phone was very quiet, and the old man seemed to try his best to suppress his voice: "Shouyi, listen to me, don't go home in the past two days, and go to your uncle He Yuansheng if you have anything." ”

After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for me to ask what was going on.

It's already turned off after calling again.

The old man has always had an idea of what he said and did, and he must have a reason not to let me go back if he didn't let me go back, so I still listened to him and went to Qingcheng Mountain to ask my uncle, what should I do about sealing the demon?

After all, there are too many things running out of the White Volcano, and I definitely can't do it alone.

If you can use the power of Qingcheng Mountain, it will be much easier to seal the demon.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind and parted ways with Jiang Huo, he went home to serve the old lady, and I went to Qingcheng Mountain to ask for help.

Who knew that as soon as I went up the mountain to the gate of Changqing Temple, I didn't get close, and the boy who guarded the mountain saw me from afar, and his expression immediately changed greatly, and his face was twisted like a famous painting shouting, and he lost his broom and ran.

While running, he shouted, "Oh no! Xiao Shouyi is here! ”

also ruthlessly closed the mountain gate by the way.

it!

Am I that scary?

After all, the old man's seniority here was quite high before, and the senior brothers used to smile when they met, but is it swollen today?

At this moment, the mountain gate "creaked" open again.

More than a dozen Taoist priests in Tsing Yi rushed out with cold light swords in their hands.

They lined up in front of me, glaring at me one by one, their hands still tightly clutched on the hilt of their swords, as if they were ready to attack.

One of the leaders shouted: "Xiao Shouyi, do you dare to come up to Qingcheng Mountain!?" ”

As soon as I saw that the person who came was the master's senior brother Gui Wusi, and the Taoist number was Wusi, I hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, I came to find ......"

"Don't look for it!"

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted him, and his tone was stern and resolute: "There is no one you are looking for here, and there is no one you are looking for on Qingcheng Mountain, and you will have nothing to do with Qingcheng Mountain in the future." ”

Gui Wusi is the chief disciple of Shizu, and he is likely to be the head of the sect in the future.

His words worked.

said that they would expel me from the division, but no one dared to stay.

But only those who have made a big mistake in this sect will be expelled from the sect, why didn't I do anything? In this way, the insult he received was tantamount to being stripped of his clothes and pants and running away from the street.

I was anxious to call Uncle Shi.

Gui Wusi frowned coldly, and interrupted me sharply: "I'm not your uncle, your master Xiao Baoyuan has been vulgar in order to adopt you, and you have nothing to do with Qingcheng Mountain in fact." Your master gave up the position of the head of Qingcheng Mountain for you, just to raise you as an adult. But you didn't fight for it, and caused a catastrophe in the White Volcano, unleashing thousands of demons that were suppressed. I knew that when you were born, you should have been strangled by the Nine Heavens Secret Order. ”

When I heard this, I was a little confused.

Since I was a child, I knew that the old man was not a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain, but I didn't know that the old man gave up his good future of becoming a master of the sect for me.

And to listen to the tone of Gui Wusi, if the master hadn't adopted me back to the world, I, the calamity, would have been strangled by the Daomen by some means.
