Chapter 177: The Invitation of the Eight Gates
I don't know how long this pain lasted, and the numbness and tingling went back and forth in my heart. At this time, what I longed for was to see Xie Hong inadvertently press the button to add water, but what I was most afraid of was that she pressed the button to add fire. At this moment, she is the only person I care about, because her every move can make the difference between life and death.
"Okay, it's been seven days, it's time to turn off the fire!" He Wanqing looked at the time and said.
I watched them lift the lid of the cauldron that was fastened to me, and sighed in relief.
"Wait."
He Wan cleared her throat and startled me again, only to see her pick up her mobile phone and look at it, and said, "I'll go get something and you can open it later." ”
From her face, I realized that something bad had happened, and after a while, He Wanqing took the tools used for tattooing, and came back and said: "Young master, I have to tattoo you with a mark today, and the eight doors have sent an invitation to invite you to go, without a mark, you can't represent the Qiankun faction." ”
I nodded, and Xie Hong on the side lifted the lid, my body was still steaming at the moment, but the body with green muscles and leaky muscles had returned to normal, and there was nothing unusual.
He Wanqing took the tattoo pen and started her work on my right shoulder, and compared to the previous seven days of torment, the pain caused by this thing was nothing short of drizzle.
After a long time, He Wanqing straightened her waist and said, "The young master has been stabbed, you can take a look." ”
I looked down and saw a red killing word the size of a fingernail appearing on my shoulder.
He Wanqing said that this is a special invisibility potion tattoo, and the tattoo is usually not visible, and it will only appear when he is sweating profusely. However, only those who are above the Dharma Protector are eligible to have this tattoo tattooed in order to hide their identity.
I asked, "Why is mine a killer?" Are they the word Qiankun? ”
He Wanqing said that this matter also started from the eight gates, she said that in the past, there were Xuanmen, Qimen, Shengmen, Gumen, Wumen, Orchid Gate, Theft Gate, Killing Gate, and Eight Major Sects.
Among them, Xuanmen is a Taoist cultivator, Qimen is a gentleman who is proficient in the art of retreat, and Shengmen is a doctor who saves the dead and helps the wounded.
All three of them believe that they are orthodox in the Book of Changes, and they have always had a high reputation and status, so they are collectively referred to as Shangsanmen.
The other is the Gu Gate, the Witch Gate, and the Killing Gate. The Gu Gate is Gu Magic, and the Witch Gate is Witchcraft. As for killing the door, it is a killer, collecting money for others to eliminate disasters is synonymous with them, as long as someone pays a high enough price, there is no life that cannot be taken!
However, because their scale, influence and world reputation are not very high, they are called the middle three gates.
Next is the lowest-status thief door and orchid gate, among which the thief door tributaries are huge, all kinds of non-capital transactions are classified in this category, and it is also the sect with the lowest means.
Orchid Gate is the woman who was used for power and sex trading in ancient times, they have undergone special training and have unique skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just appearances, and the ability to steal information and kill people in the invisible is definitely not worse than killing the door.
In addition, there is a foreign Buddhism, her history is a little short, so it is not ranked among the eight gates, and the ancient eight gates are the products of a long time ago.
As for why the killing door changed its name to Qiankun, it is even simpler, just to hide his identity and hide people's eyes.
"What did they invite me for?" I asked, puzzled.
He Wanqing told me that the eight doors are no longer the original eight gates, but the structure is complex, many of them have intrigues, and no one is convinced by anyone in their hearts.
Now they are ostensibly saying that they are holding a new session of the Bamen Martial Arts Conference for friendship and friendship, but in fact, they know that I am not good at learning outside all the year round, so they take the opportunity to press me to the ground and rub and rub to see my jokes!
After speaking, He Wanqing said brightly: "Young master, you don't know, right? We have always been the number one master in killing, and He Feng, who was only 16 years old at the time of the most decay, also beat them all over the ground looking for teeth! ”
I knew that He Feng was my father, and I couldn't help but feel a light on my face, and I stood up happily, frightening them to flee in all directions. I realized I wasn't dressed yet, but they were clearly doing more than anything else, and I thought it wasn't the other day!
I wiped it with a towel, put on my clothes and said, "Oh, when are you going?" I don't have a lot of time to play with them right now. ”
"Don't worry, there is still a month, the young master can practice diligently in this month, and he will definitely be able to return victorious." He Wanqing said happily.
I asked, "Our enemies are too?" ”
He Wanqing shook his head: "The mastermind is not here, they are all their juniors, right, but young master, you must not do anything there, otherwise our door will be killed." ”
I understand what she means, she is saying don't look at the six relatives we killed, but we still have to behave like a family reunion in public. Otherwise, it will provoke the anger of the public, and they will attack it en masse, which is why Liu Shirong wants to do it in such a wasteland in Lingnan.
"Can I not go, then?" This is what I really want to ask, because I still have a case that has not been solved, and I can't afford to delay the search for Xiaoyue's soul now!
He Wanqing shook her head: "No! It's more embarrassing not to go there than to lose, how can we gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future? ”
"Okay, I know, you're tired for a few days, let's rest, I'll go back and wash this dry discomfort."
With that, I went into the bedroom, picked up my mobile phone and called Zhang Jun, who told me that the police had pulled it out, but still found nothing, and he was further investigating.
After rinsing the glutinous rice soup on my body, I turned out the mental method that Xiaoyue left for me and rolled it out. This time I took it seriously, because I didn't want to suffer from this steamer anymore.
After reading it, I began to sit cross-legged and meditate and pranayama, only to feel that a cold thing in the dantian was about to move, and then a cool feeling spread throughout the body, which made me refreshed and my head cleared up a lot.
When I opened my eyes, it had been four hours, and it felt the same as it had been for a few minutes.
At this time, Xiaoyue sent a message to me, she said that the mind is divided into four steps, the first step is to breathe and calm the mind, the second part is to meditate through the sky, the third part can be out of the body, and the fourth part can be as big or small as you like.
After speaking, Xiao Yue continued: "You only need to concentrate on cultivation now, and you must not let emotions control your mind, otherwise it will not be so comfortable next time." ”
"Wait a minute..... Is this still comfortable? ”
Xiao Yue didn't answer, so I cautiously asked, "What's uncomfortable then?" ”
"Don't worry, anyway, the next time you are emotionally uncontrollable, remember to use a knife and bleed."
After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she warned: "I'll tell you the truth, it's not what you think you are in a violent state, but a precursor before you completely ossify!" ”
