Chapter 10: The Story of the Bell

Huang Jun carefully thought about Zhong's story over and over again, and when he thought like this, he couldn't help but sketch this story in his mind:

Although Kuo's Taoist skills are indeed first-class, Zhong can be sure that none of the Taoist priests in the entire Qin State know this person, and of course, they don't know the origin of this person's teacher. Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to seek the Immortal Pill by sea, while the branch headed by Kuo took the land route. This was also expected by the bells, as their lines naturally could not be bracketed together. And when the clock and the Taoist priests around him had a deep worry: this worry often bothered them, that is, firstly, they did not know when the mission would be completed, and secondly, even if the mission was completed, what would be their fate? With Qin Shi Huang's actions at that time, no one could believe that he could survive, and Huang Jun didn't think that Qin Shi Huang really planned to let Zhong and this group of Taoist priests go, because Qin Shi Huang originally hated this kind of warlock, if he hadn't used them to find the elixir, I was afraid that Zhong and the others would have been executed as soon as they were caught, of course, the facts did not evolve like that in the end.

After taking over Zhong and the others, the first thing he did was to use a mysterious technique to place a ban in their bodies, this prohibition was not described in detail in Zhong's self-description, and Huang Jun didn't know why, in fact, unlike science and technology, the older the Taoist thing, the more powerful it is, just like the role of the guardian, which has been passed down to this day, and the essence has almost been cut off. The ban made Zhong and others dare not run away from the team at will, Zhong had seen a Taoist priest trying to escape the control of Kuo, and he did succeed in escaping, in the eyes of the clock, the Taoist priest's Taoism may not be able to deal with anyone in the team except Kuo, but the truth is cruel, for his escape, Kuo did not show any abnormality, but three days later, just when people's hearts were fluctuating, the man ran back by himself, and knelt in front of Zhong, asking for his forgiveness, of course, It was absolutely impossible for him to do this, so the Taoist priest turned into a dried corpse as if his flesh and blood had been evaporated by the extremely high temperature in front of everyone, and no one knew what had happened in the meantime. Since then, no one has dared to escape from under Kuo's nose.

Kuo took Zhong and the others to the south, and Zhong couldn't figure out Kuo's destination, just followed Zhong aimlessly, no one knew how long they would go, and what situation they would encounter, maybe the next moment, one of them would be like the Taoist priest who fled, turned into a pile of dried corpses, and then at that time, Zhong didn't have time to think about these at all, they hurried day and night, if it weren't for Taoism, I'm afraid that most of them would not be able to reach their destination, for three years, Kuo took Zhong and others to the west for three years, three years later, one day, they stopped, and then, came to a forest with high mountains and dense forests, Zhong remembered that when Kuo hesitated outside the forest, as if he was making a major decision, since he saw Kuo, Zhong has always thought that Kuo is a ruthless, decisive person, this, he will never be wrong, as a Taoist, maybe his Taoist skills are not very high, but his ability to see people must not be wrong, Then when Zhong saw the face of such a cold-blooded deciding person for the first time, he would show such an expression, in Zhong's description, this feeling was fear, **naked fear, as if there was some demon king hidden in the forest, but at the same time, it seemed that there was another force urging him to go in, and finally, after waiting for a day, Kuo decided to go in. Naturally, Zhong and the others also followed cautiously behind, in the look of the entourage, Zhong and the others more or less understood the danger of the forest, so every step was extremely careful, but the strange thing is that in the forest, they did not encounter any danger, on the first day, they camped without danger, and the second day still nothing happened, this situation lasted until half a month later. In this half month, the danger that Zhong expected did not come, but because of the forest, they could drink water from time to time, and there was also wild meat, and their lives were much better than before, and everyone else gradually relaxed. But Zhong's mood did not become relaxed because of this, because under his careful observation, he found that as they went deeper and deeper into the forest, Kuo's demeanor became more and more solemn, of course, Kuo didn't say anything to them, sometimes Kuo would look at them, but I don't know why, from Kuo's eyes, Zhong could feel a very strange expression, Zhong even thought that when Kuo looked at them, it was definitely not a feeling of looking at a living person, but looking at a pile of dead corpses, or dead corpses that were about to become, this feeling was so peculiar, but that's what it really feels like when the clock is real.

Zhong's account here seems a little messy, as if something terrible has happened, but from the vague text description, Huang Jun still knows what happened at that time: one night half a month later, including Zhong and others came to a cave, that day was August 15, the cave entrance was deep and bottomless, from time to time there were blood-red smoke coming out of it, from the hole, Zhong and others could clearly feel a thick to substantial yin evil power hidden in the cave, but it seemed to be in a dormant state, as if stimulated by something, It can burst out in an instant. Zhong remembered that Kuo's expression was very contradictory, and there was ecstasy in fear, and Kuo said at that time: "My Majesty has eternal hope!" After saying this, Zhong saw a strange red light in Kuo's eyes, looking up to the moon and letting out a strange howl, Zhong had never heard of that kind of howl, but he instinctively felt a trace of danger from it, sure enough, at this moment, the dark and secluded hole was getting bigger little by little in front of their eyes, at first, Zhong thought it was his own illusion, but then he found that it was not an illusion at all, he was horrified to find that the hole was actually alive, and in an instant, the hole spewed out a large amount of sulfur gas, swallowing them, Zhong couldn't see anything, only heard Kuo shouting: "Enjoy, enjoy, immortal evil king, I exchange my boundless essence for a drop of your blood, a drop of blood......

Before Zhong had time to say anything, he heard screams all around, the screams were so desperate and terrifying, that before the bad luck came, Zhong felt chills all over his body, and then, Zhong could feel a strong attack, he still wanted to resist, but any struggle was in vain, that power was only seen in Zhong Ping's life, and even in Kuo's body, Zhong had never experienced this desperate power, Zhong had given up resisting at that time, and then, he felt the blood-red thing rush into his brain, before losing consciousness, He heard Kuo shout angrily: "No, you promised me, you promised me, you can't treat me like this......" and then, Zhong lost his last consciousness.

The account is broken here, and Huang Jun no longer knows what will happen in the future, and in front of him, there is only this strange statue and boiling blood pool in front of him, however, I don't know why, Huang Jun felt a throbbing in his heart, difficult to restrain himself, as if the Zhong in the story is a very familiar person, familiar is no longer familiar, and this blood pool, as well as this statue are inextricably linked with him, but Huang Jun is sure that from his birth to the present, it is impossible to see this Qin Dynasty Taoist priest named Zhong, He had never been to Xuancheng before, let alone come into contact with these blood pools and statues, let alone contact them.

"Huang Jun, Huang Jun, are you okay?" When Huang Jun was in a daze, Shu Yao's voice suddenly came from his head, Huang Jun was overjoyed, and he had news of Shu Yao.

"What just happened? You okay? Huang Jun asked, now there is only Shu Yao left alive except for himself, if even Shu Yao has an accident, Huang Jun can't imagine what kind of blow he will suffer.
