Chapter 20: The Rooster Crows in the Middle of the Night
Early in the morning, Lin Xiao was awakened by a rapid phone ringing.
"Filial son, Yanran's father is dying! Hurry up and take a look. On the other end of the line was Jabby's anxious voice.
"What? Wouldn't it be nice to have dinner together last night? Lin Xiao didn't react for a while.
Why can't you say no? Haunted?
"Really, it's like you've fallen into an evil spirit! Hurry up, can I joke about this? With that, Jabby hung up.
Obsessed? These two words made Lin Xiao sober up at once, this matter is not simple.
Lin Xiao hurriedly knocked on the door of Chen's room and explained the situation. Lin Xiao's injury is not yet healed, in case it is really greasy, Lichen can help.
In the past few days, the dust has long been idle, and when he heard that there was a head, his bald head immediately lit up.
Violent monk!
rushed to the Yangon Courtyard of the Shi family.
The whole courtyard was enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness and oppression. The armed forces in the courtyard are patrolling everywhere as if they are facing a great enemy.
Shi Tianmian was lying on the bed like ashes, angry like a gossamer, looking like he wanted to see the king of Hades. Shi Yanran's eyes were red and swollen with tears, sobbing in Jabby's arms, which made people feel distressed.
"What's going on? Is it not good when you are separated? Lin Xiao asked.
"Who knows! Came back last night and had a drink with me, yelling in the middle of the night and that's it. The doctor came several times, but he couldn't see why. Jabby said helplessly.
Lichen has some medical skills, and his hand lightly catches Shi Tian's pulse.
Lin Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Lichen, do you see the problem?" ”
"It's strange, the body is obviously full of blood and qi, but the heart pulse fluctuates weakly. It doesn't look like he's sick. Lichen got up and replied with a frown.
"Is there still a cure? You say, will there be some kind of way? Lin Xiao's suspicions are justified, a healthy living person looks like this inexplicably.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Besides, Shi Tian has a lot of enemies, especially that Meng Hu who wants his life all the time.
"I can't see it yet. However, your speculation cannot be ruled out. You let them all out, and we'll check it out. Lichen said with his hands folded.
Lin Xiao turned around and motioned for Jabby to take Shi Yanran and the others away: "Jebby, you take Yanran to the rest meeting, and I will take a look at the situation with Lichen." ”
After everyone left, Lin Xiao and Lichen removed the clothes from Shi Tian's body.
"Old man Shi is good!" Lin Xiao came heartlessly.
The dust is scorched by this sentence, who is at the moment of life and death? The color of disdain poured down without hesitation.
The two of them carefully examined Shi Tian's body, not even letting go of his hair, but they didn't get anything.
There are no hidden weapons, let alone wounds.
Lichen's brows were deeply locked, and he walked back and forth in the room, shaking Lin Xiao's eyes dizzy.
"I said, master, are you well-informed, do you have eyebrows? If you shake like this, people will be gone. ”
Lichen didn't answer, but went outside the door and called Jabby in.
"Did anything strange happen to you after drinking with the quarry master last night?" Lichen asked.
Jabby thought for a moment and replied, "No." Drinking is just me and my father-in-law, and there is no one else, and the two of them will talk about the customs of Tongcheng. ”
"Think about it, or are there any strange sounds?" Lichen is very stubborn.
"It's really nothing, if there is any sound, it is to hear a few rooster crows in the middle of the night. Could it be that chickens can kill people? Jabby wondered.
Lichen's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right, chickens can really kill people." Jabby, without further ado, you quickly arrange for someone to search near the courtyard, dig three feet into the ground, and make sure to find the chicken. ”
Jabby was dumbfounded and said, "Master, you're not kidding, are you?" There are not a few chickens in the courtyard, which one do you want me to catch? ”
"Big black. Go quickly, it's set nearby. Remember, catch it alive, otherwise your father-in-law will not be able to save it. "The dust is determined.
All the people in the courtyard were mobilized, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped, and the dust was all over the sky.
"Dust, the rooster crows in the middle of the night, have you noticed?" Lin Xiao stood beside Chen and asked.
"If I'm not bad as expected, the stone farmer must have been hit by the trick of lowering the head."
"Tricks?"
Seeing Lin Xiao asking, Lichen told him what he knew.
In fact, when Chen came in to finish Shi Tian's pulse, he already felt that it should be a ghost in Southeast Asia.
There are three types of head-lowering techniques in Southeast Asia: head-lowering, Gu poison and Wushu.
Both the head lowering and the Gu poison need to be cast with the help of hidden weapons such as poisonous insects or metal, but when he checked Shi Tian's body just now, there were no insect bites or metal stab wounds.
Moreover, during the inspection, Lichen also smelled it deliberately, and did not find any special smell of poisonous insects. In this way, it can be ruled out that it is head lowering and Gu poison.
All that's left is the art of the succumbing.
The rooster crow that Jebby heard confirmed Dust's suspicions.
When the head descender performs the technique, he needs to perform special rituals, through chanting mantras, kowtowing, seeking the help of the gods, and also need to use some strange props, such as some living creatures, through which they will convey the thoughts of the head descender.
The black rooster is the most commonly used living creature in the art of succulents.
"So amazing?" There is such an earth-shattering magic in the world!
"However, these barbarians are so vicious, and they are on the same level as that Gu Poison God Sect, and their crimes cannot be punished." Lin Xiao said angrily.
"You're wrong. Head-lowering masters don't have to be bad guys. In the past, in Southeast Asia, the people were poor and backward, and they had no money for medical treatment when they were sick. Therefore, the head descending division has always had the saying of white clothes and black clothes. The black is evil, and the white is good. Lichen explained.
"Oh, such a thing?" Lin Xiao was surprised.
"There is no good or evil in the magic of this world, good and evil are in the hearts of people. Today we are meeting the black-clothed head descender. The dust sighed.
The Buddha wants to cross the good and evil, but when will the good and evil have an end?
"Master Dust, Master Dust, the black rooster has been found." Jabby barged in, carrying a black rooster that had been almost stripped naked.
Looking at this hairless rooster, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered a joke.
One day, a student asked the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, "Teacher, how do you define man?" ”
Plato said, "Man is an animal that walks upright on two feet without feathers." ”
So his pupil plucked a chicken out of it and jokingly said, "Look, this is the man Plato said." ”
Now that I think about it, sometimes, people are not as good as chickens.
Lichen took the rooster and said, "Amitabha." All sentient beings are suffering, and now I will use your heart to save people's lives with blood to atone for your unintentional evil. May you be reborn in bliss and reincarnated for good. ”
After reciting, the Buddha finger taps the back of the chicken.
A red bead of blood slowly poured out of the rooster's back and floated on Chen's right palm.
The black rooster let out a terrible scream, and his whole body went limp, and he died.
Lichen threw the rooster aside, walked to Shi Tian's bed, and slapped the heart source blood into Shi Tian's forehead with one palm.
"The great sun is clear, life and death are fate. Buddha Lotus, this world! ”
As the dust was over, a white lotus appeared out of thin air.
Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving.
The white lotus appeared for only a moment, and the lotus petals fell like snow.
The majestic vitality sank into Shi Tian's body in the flying of the lotus petals.
Shi Tian's fingers moved slightly, and a stream of black gas overflowed from between his eyebrows.
Lichen's face was slightly red, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It should be fine." ”
There was a faint sound of wings vibrating, and a sudden change occurred.
The black rooster's eyes suddenly opened, his mouth opened, and a black shadow flew in, directly into Shi Tian's ears.
Shi Tian got up in pain, his newly relieved face was once again as pale as paper, and his flesh and blood collapsed visibly.
"It's not good, it's a corpse worm that swallows the sky, and it swallows human flesh and blood." Lichen was shocked, "What a vicious head lowerer, there is a back hand, this is using us to grab the rooster to drop the head." ”
"Is it a Gu worm? Hey! Lin Xiao didn't laugh angrily, he was born twice and matured, and he had experience in dealing with this.
You're unlucky today, and you've met your grandfather and me.
Lin Xiao did not hesitate, rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture.
"Heaven and earth have spirits, and the five elements are transformed. The power of the five elements of fire, condensation! ”
The power of heaven and earth stirred, Lin Xiao's fingertips, and the power of the five elements of fire condensed, gradually converging into the appearance of a dragon.
"Go!" The fire dragon roared and flew into Shi Tian's body.
"I'll give you another dish!"
"Tianyi bloodline, Xuanyuan will. Transform into a golden dragon, now! ”
The golden dragon tattoo on his arm frantically absorbed Lin Xiao's strength, and the feeling of weakness came over again. Lin Xiao sat on the ground with a slump in the buttocks.
The golden dragon was resurrected, and with another roar, it disappeared between Shi Tian's eyebrows.
The two dragons fused, and three claws faintly appeared.
In Shi Tian's body, a scene of an eagle catching a chicken was staged.
The Sky Devouring Corpse Worm no longer had the calmness of swallowing flesh and blood just now, and it hugged its head and ran away.
How could the Five Elements Fire Dragon let go of this delicacy and swallowed the Heavenly Corpse Worm in one bite.
The Sky Devouring Corpse Worm had no power to resist.
Everything is retribution.
To swallow people, you must have the consciousness of being swallowed.
As the Heaven Devouring Corpse Worm was digested, a steady stream of power miraculously returned to Lin Xiao's body.
A feeling that has never been felt before, powerful!
And this benefit?
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the person who was under the Gu was very cute, it was better to put more Gu, then the dragon had three claws in the future.
Shi Tian woke up faintly, and his body was still very weak because of the Sky Devouring Corpse Worm.
"Brother Lin, master, you saved my life again." Shi Tian is a person who understands.
"Brother Shi, who is trying to harm you? Is it still Meng Hu? Lin Xiao asked.
Shi Tian nodded: "Who else can there be?" Meng Hu has a sworn brother named Mi Tianfeng, who is a well-known head descender in Myanmar. ”
"It seems that I will really know this Meng Hu. I wouldn't mind beating his tiger head into a pig's head. Lin Xiao will not let Shi Tian have anything to do, not to mention Jabby's future father-in-law, he is also the guarantee of Runhui Jewelry's foothold in the jewelry industry.
More importantly, Lin Xiao is a man who walks in the world, and a vicious person like Meng Hu is the biggest insult to Lin Xiao to live.
"Dust, how about a vote?"
"Amitabha, poor monks won't rob!"
"What a robbery! Punch people. ”
"Amitabha, isn't it so violent?"
"To go or not?"
"Amitabha, since the benefactor has made up his mind, the poor monk reluctantly beats him."
Deep in the mountains and dense forests, a low and dilapidated thatched hut is crumbling.
Inside, the oil lamps swayed in the wind.
A man in black, sitting cross-legged on a filthy rattan bed.
"Poof!" Blood spurted out of the black-clothed man's mouth, instantly extinguishing the flames.
The shadowy sound echoed in the hut for a long time.
"Kill me and devour the corpse worm, this revenge will be washed away with blood!"
