22. Dark Demon God
Wong Tai Sin fooled us! He gave us a false impression, it seems that the force behind it is the Huang family, no, it was Sheng Shiyao who first exposed Huang Tai Sin's delusion to use soul magic to annex the Huang family, and then Huang Daxian kept saying that the Huang family was short, so we mistakenly thought that it was the Huang clan that was related to Huang Xingyuan's secret art.
When Sheng Shiyao received my gaze, he didn't explain, but fixed his eyes on Chen Bing's face, and said slowly: "Isn't it just that you released rumors to make the outside misunderstand the existence of such a Huang family?" Things went straight down suddenly, I was already a little confused, I saw that Chen Bing's face changed, and when he looked at Zhou Jing's face, Zhou Jing was stunned for a while, shook his head and said: "Ah Bing, since they have come to the door, they can't hide, you better tell the truth." ”
Chen Bing replied lightly, as if he was brewing, and it took two or three minutes before he spoke: "You must have met Huang Yonghui, a traitor, who failed to steal the magic mystic, escaped from the ancient town and did something wrong. It is precisely because of him that we have created a Huang family outside to divert everyone's attention, he knows that if the surname of the clan is exposed, he will be cursed by the dark demon god, but I don't know what method you used to make him say the ancient town, he has the demon god totem printed on his body, and betraying the demon god will be cursed to death. ”
"Is the magic mystery you are talking about that Huang Xingyuan? Why did you choose such a name? I asked the question in my mind.
At this time, Chen Bing did not answer me immediately, but looked at Zhou Jingdao on the side: "This is what I want to ask my grandfather, I am young, and I have been this name since I was sensible, and the origin is not clear." ”
Zhou Jing nodded when he heard this and said, "Indeed, in your generation, some things will no longer be mentioned." In fact, it is not completely groundless to say that the fiction of a Huang family is about four or five hundred years ago, the first person who was baptized by the demon god and learned the magic mystery was surnamed Huang, and he became the chief of our clan to lead the clan. The three characters of Huang Xingyuan are titled with his surname Huang, and Xingyuan is the meaning of revitalizing Puyuan. He selected highly qualified people among his clan to teach this magic mystic, but each person had different understandings of Huigen, and fewer and fewer people learned Huang Xingyuan in later generations, and then the manuscript recorded was also incomplete. But even if it is an incomplete manuscript, as long as it can be truly mastered and comprehended, it is not a small cultivation.
The traitor Huang Yonghui just mentioned is a descendant of the Huang family, he has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he has shown great talent when learning the secret art of our clan, and we have high hopes for him. But no matter what kind of technique, you must start from the foundation and gradually practice, and your own moral cultivation is also very important. From the perspective of our clan, the magic mysticism, that is, Huang Xingyuan, is a kind of protection, the art of prolonging the life of the people, rather than wanton behavior. Huang Yonghui's mental technique was gradually discovered in the later stage, and he rushed forward, trying to ascend to the sky in one step, trying to steal the remnants of Huang Xingyuan, but he was later discovered and escaped from our ancient town. I won't say much about what happened after that. ”
I listened to it with embarrassment, but I didn't think that there were so many inside things behind the surface. But after hearing Sheng Shiyao beside him, he sneered again and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are false, is that feng shui secret art really only used for longevity?" Have you ever had a little ambition to be alone in the world? The soul art that Huang Yonghui knows can deter one side, and there must be something else that will happen to your clan that will make you willing to live in seclusion here and never set foot in the outside world again. Am I right? ”
Zhou Jing looked at Sheng Shiyao in a daze, his expression changed a lot, and finally said with a dejected face: "Okay, I'll tell you." Indeed, as you said, even if we have not fully learned this unique secret art in the later stage, it is enough to gain a foothold in society. **Ten years ago, a group of capable people were sent out of the ancient town, wanting to rely on them to find blessings for our people, but it was the war years, and there was no return. Ben Ruo died in the war, he didn't say anything, but he never thought that their corpses were found in the wilderness one by one, and they all died without wounds all over their bodies, with terrifying faces and bulging eyes. At the same time, our ancient town ushered in a Jedi storm, which almost annihilated the entire ancient town, and many people died, so we began to understand that this was the dark demon god punishing our greed and bringing disaster. ”
"Ten years ago? At that time, Mr. Zhou should have been in his twenties, right? Sheng Shiyao asked.
Zhou Jing's face was ashamed, "You don't have to doubt it, yes, I am the only one in that group of capable people who survived, because I went out for March and returned to the town due to a sudden illness in my body, so I picked up a life." ”
I have discovered that Zhou Jing has spoken falsely and realistically, and he has been repeatedly caught by Sheng Shiyao, and he has dug out deeper internal information. He said it nicely, but in fact, this group of people was actually the same as that Wong Tai Sin in the early days, they had different thoughts, and wanted to use their own secret arts to collect money outside, but they didn't think that it would end well, and they all died. Presumably, why Zhou Jing returned to the ancient town before March must not be the reason he said, but he was indeed the only survivor, so that in the later 80 years, he became the patriarch of the ancient town.
My heart moved slightly, although the time was not right, I still asked more: "I don't know if the two old gentlemen have ever heard of Cheng Qingping?" As I asked, my eyes were fixed on the faces of the two for a moment, not letting go of any expression, and both of them shook their heads at the same time, without the slightest pretense of calm or hesitation. It seems that I am suspicious, my grandmother is only in her seventies this year, ** Ten years ago, my grandmother was not born yet, Chen Bing should be younger than my grandmother, and it is unlikely that there will be an intersection.
I don't know where Huang Xingyuan in my grandmother's mouth came from, whether he was referring to the person or the secret art he was referring to, as well as the bat embroidered on her brocade handkerchief, which was still a mystery. Thinking of this bat embroidery, I couldn't help but think of the tattoo on Wong Tai Sin's arm, and after a deep groan, I asked: "I wonder if the tattoo on Wong Yonghui's arm is only him, or if all of your people have it?" ”
This time, it was Chen Bing who took over the words: "Not everyone has it, but people who learn secret arts will tattoo it to warn those who learn secrets." And it is according to the generation, and the position of the tattoo is different for different identities. Huang Yonghui is a new generation, his tattoos are relatively shallow, and on his arms, our generation is tattooed on his arms. With that, he rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, he saw the same black-winged bat tattoo on his arm, but in a darker color.
I couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing, and he said helplessly: "I naturally have it, it is tattooed on the back, and the ancestors of the early years were tattooed on the chest." "I'm embarrassed to let people take off their clothes to show the tattoos on their backs, but I always feel that their tattoos have a deeper meaning, and they are not as simple as he said.
Ben was about to ask about the castle again, but suddenly he heard a strange movement outside the house, and it seemed that the footsteps of many people were coming inside. The four of them couldn't help but look at the door, and the first person to appear in front of the door was Zhou Tong, who rushed in with a panicked face, "Brother Yao, something happened." I was about to ask what happened, when I heard Zhou Ming, who arrived later, shouting: "Ah Gong, it's not good, a poisonous snake suddenly appeared in the town, and many townspeople were bitten by snakes." ”
My heart sank, and my intuition was that the safflower snake came so quickly?! Zhou Tong also walked to our side at this time, and said urgently: "Ah Yue was bitten by a snake. At this time, even Sheng Shiyao couldn't sit still, so he stood up and walked out, asking what was going on as he walked, but when he walked to the door, he was blocked by people outside the door, and all the residents of the town came to find Zhou Jing, and they shouted Ah Gong in their mouths, and the scene was very chaotic.
Zhou Tong was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he pushed hard to block the people who came in, and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!" But how could those people listen to him, I saw Sheng Shiyao frowning, his eyes were impatient, and he looked around as if he wanted to find another way to go out, but this room had no windows, only this doorway to walk.
Zhou Jing got up and shouted: "All quit and gather at the ancestral hall." Chen Bing helped to pass the word: "Ah Gong said, everyone withdrew and gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall." ”
Finally, the congested people loosened and retreated, and Zhou Tong opened the way in front, and Sheng Shiyao and I quickly got through the crowd and walked out of the gate. While rushing to the hotel, I heard that Zhou Tong said that the sixth son asked Zhou Ming to bring a message, let us hurry back, Liu Yue was bitten by a poisonous snake, and his life was on the line!
Liuzi is not a person who can exaggerate, he must be very serious when he lets Zhou Ming talk like this. The group of red flower snakes in the castle knew at a glance that they were more fierce and poisonous than those snakes with fine patterns, Sheng Shiyao was bitten by the thin snake and his skin was black, and he also lost his special blood and understanding of acupuncture points, so he could immediately control the situation. But Liu Yue stayed in the hotel, how could she bite her? Did all those snakes get into the hotel?
When we got back to the hotel, there was a commotion in front of the door, apparently the red snake haunt. Rushed to the second floor room, saw Liuzi anxiously pacing back and forth, and immediately greeted us when he saw us, "Brother Yao, Liu Yue, she ......"
Sheng Shiyao waved his hand to stop, "I know, how is she doing?" Have you ever been given serum and antibiotics? ”
"I did, but it didn't work, she was very bad."
When we walked in the door, we saw the "very bad" situation in Liuzi's mouth, Liu Yue was lying there with her eyes closed, her face was pale, and her bare arms were black and purple, and a rope was tightly wrapped around her elbow, which should be Liuzi's first aid measure for fear of the spread of her toxicity.
Sheng Shiyao stepped forward without saying a word, and first probed Liu Yue's snort, frowning more and more, obviously the situation was not optimistic. Zhou Tong hurriedly called Liu Yue's name on the side, but she was unconscious.
"Xiaoxiao stays to help, and you two go to the door and keep guard." Sheng Shiyao ordered.
Zhou Tong looked up in confusion, "Brother Yao, I ......"
"Get out!" Sheng Shiyao's face sank, "If you want her to live, don't delay time, let me go out immediately." ”
Liuzi dragged Zhou Tong out and closed the door.
