【041】The Staff of Death
Knowing that going is a game of life and death, Zhong Kui has no choice. Without hesitation, he stepped into the cold winter black hole, and the man had just entered the dark hole—there was a loud bang, which startled him slightly, and he looked at it, and there was a torch stuck obliquely on the black cave wall. The evil thing is that when he stepped in, the torch suddenly spontaneously combusted as if it had a sense of induction! With the light of the torches, everything in the cave comes into view.
According to Johnson's description, it should be filled with a disgusting rancid smell. But what I saw in front of me at this moment was a joyful scene. The clean aisle, no sharp knife array, no blood, no bones—
What's going on? Zhong Kui felt like he was walking on a chess battlefield. Every step must be cautious, step by step, before each step, we must look at the overall situation, maybe the killing machine is hidden in this step.
There is no wind, but I feel a sense of movement on my face. What is hateful is that the Yin and Yang Eye was destroyed by Xiao Ming's mother, otherwise he could have seen the tricks used by the ghost Kui.
All this he saw in front of him was an illusion, and Zhong Kui must be nervous. Staring intently ahead, shadows overlapping and intertwining—waiting for an opportunity to pounce on him—these were hungry wolf-like spirits. And behind these evil spirits, there is an even more ferocious devil. That's the prince who cast the spell, and this situation and this scene all show that something big must have happened in the cemetery-
Zhong Kui secretly set up a protective barrier and moved his steps lightly—the more he walked in, a cool, heart-warming breath rushed in. This was the incense, and he hurriedly held his breath, and walked straight to the center of the tomb. Along the way, the same type of torches were inserted diagonally, and the torches were like guiding lights, leading Zhong Kui all the way to the front.
Suddenly, Zhong Kui stopped, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
In the center of the burial chamber - the hall of joy - the hall of joy is quiet, cold and secluded - as if waiting for someone! Are you waiting for me? Zhong Kui asked himself and smiled bitterly. Quickly scanned everything around him. There is no human breath here, and it looks like a tomb of the living dead.
And in the tomb of the living dead, he is the only one alive. The rest were dead, a feeling he had encountered decades ago. However, what he saw with his eyes puzzled him a little.
The sarcophagus - the red curtain, this is a completely new room. Zhong Kui shook his head and looked around in confusion. For a moment, he wondered if it was all an illusion, or if he was in the wrong place.
Just as he was in a state of flux, another voice warned him: "Don't be fooled by the illusions you see, it's all an illusion"
What told him all this came from the bottom of his heart and was willing to surrender to his demons.
Zhong Kui responded to the demons with his heart: "What should I do? ”
"Take the Death Scepter from the bridegroom's side and hang your belongings on him—take care of the rest."
The Staff of Death? Zhong Kui was very unfamiliar with this name, and he had never heard black and white impermanence mentioned it. Continuing to move forward, Zhucui clanked, and a man with strong eyebrows, dressed in a bright red new suit, walked towards a slender woman with her head covered.
There was an evil aura between the man's eyebrows, and his eyes were deep and resentful. Holding the bride's hand, Bai Sensen was bloodless - similar to the corpse! Anyway, if ordinary people see it, they may be scared to death!
Zhong Kui remained silent, and he had already smelled an inhuman breath from the man. He—a ghost—to be exact; It should be borrowed from the soul to return the body.
"Uncle Zhong, Xin'er and I are waiting for you so hard." When the man saw Zhong Kui, he was not surprised. On the contrary, as if he knew that he was coming, he took the initiative to greet him.
It sounds like Johnson, but it doesn't look at people - where is the staff of death that the demon said? Zhong Kui's face was gloomy, and his gaze looked directly at the man.
The man didn't dodge his sword-like gaze, but even met it—a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the tail of his eyes drooped. Finger flick - after a crisp snap of the fingers, the center of the empty tomb suddenly saw a figure longing. There were people with all faces, and by the way, Zhou Neng - and the other ghosts who died in the tombs.
Zhong Kui braked in silence and remained silent, he was struggling to find the staff of death that the demon said.
The man helped the bride to the side and sat down, opened a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, and laughed: "Thanks to Master Zhong Kui for coming to congratulate Bucai on his new marriage, he will marry thirteen, and die and live - you and I will definitely achieve the hegemony of dominating the world in the future——"
Just as the man spoke, Zhong Kui noticed that he was wearing a huge ring on the ring finger of the man's left hand. In his memory, Jiang Sen didn't seem to mention that the prince had any rings, and the shape of the ring resembled a curved snake with his head sticking out of it.
Zhong Kui pretended to clench his fists and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say-" He took a step closer, secretly wondering if this man next to him was the Xin'er that Jiang Sen told about?
"Hahahaha." After a burst of unbridled laughter, the man picked up an antique wine cup and waved his hand to a ghost leader standing beside him to pour the wine. "After drinking this wine, we will be brothers from now on."
Zhong Kui sniffed a foul smell up close, and knew that there must not be anything good in the wine cup. But he can't turn back until he has fully gained the trust of men.
Picking up the wine cup, he lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the things in the wine cup. Under the light of the torch beam, the liquid in the wine cup was black and bright, and the stench was clearly the smell of corpse water squeezed out of the corpse! As long as he drank this thing, it didn't take a cup of tea, and his internal organs would be corroded.
Zhong Kui endured the stench, but did not show any flaws and said, "Can I take the liberty of asking?" ”
The man's face was white, without a trace of emotion. Lan Youyu's eyes glanced at Zhong Kui deeply and said, "Please speak." ”
"Since I'm here to drink the wedding wine, dare to ask the name of the groom and the bride?"
"Uncle Zhong, I'm Johnson—she's Xin'er."
Sure enough, at first hearing the man's words, Zhong Kui's heart sank to the bottom. It seems that Johnson is dead, and Xin'er is also a walking corpse. The man should be the resurrected prince, who originally wanted to save Jiang Sen, but because he took care of Zhiqing and was self-defeating, he delayed the best time.
"Oh—congratulations to Johnson, Xin'er tied the knot." Zhong Kui pretended to be very serious, picked up the wine cup and handed it to the man with both hands and continued: "This cup of wine, I will borrow flowers to offer the Buddha to the groom, and the newlyweds are happy!" ”
"How can this wine be specially prepared for Master Zhong Kui, don't be humble. In another hour, I will be a new human being. ”
An hour! Zhong Kui was secretly surprised. The eyes are fast, and he grabbed the man's hand and grabbed it - the cold feeling of the cold sensen quickly spread throughout the body! He shivered excitedly, and the ring on the man's hand had arrived—
The man was furious, hissing and screaming—viciously revealing his true face—reaching out his withered claws to grab Zhong Kui.
The evil spirits who are hiding on the sidelines. also pounced, and saw that a bloody melee was about to be staged.
