Chapter 13: Life and Death (3)
We walked slowly along the stairs cautiously, and Wang Modao glanced down from time to time at a small hollowed-out box in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info box is about half the size of a palm, and it is emerald green throughout, with a slightly raised pattern in the hollow, which looks like a coiled dragon. "What is this?" I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked.
"This is called the Dragon Treasure Absorbing Box, which was originally just an ordinary jade box, and then the Taoist master will almost transform the snake into a Jiao, but in the end it is only one step away from grinding the dead spiritual object into powder, and then according to the special pattern all into this box, and then absorb the baptism of the sun and moon essence, the original white jade box can be used after changing color, of course, this is not the best." Wang Modao looked at the jade box, and the hollowed-out dragon-shaped pattern suddenly glowed with green light all over his body, and a scene slowly appeared in mid-air.
In a large hall, there was a woman with closed eyes on a throne made of skeletons, and under the throne there were three black shadows locked to three pillars, all three of them hung their heads, and faintly black blood was dripping from their chests. Behind the black shadow was a turbid misty area, and suddenly a pair of red and green eyes opened, and the image in the air turned into nothing with a pop, and the jade box in Wang Modao's hand also cracked a big gap.
"It's troublesome, I can actually sense it, it seems that the following is not only a high Dao Xing but also a little bit of years of accumulation, well, you take this," said Wang Modao took out a cyan spirit rune, on which some words were written in the shape of lightning, "This is called the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, you just need to hold it, when the time comes, if there is that kind of thing approaching you, you only need to stretch this talisman, and there will be heavenly thunder to deal with it, you don't have to be afraid, the thunder talisman will protect you from attack, but this talisman is only effective for spirits, If the expansion charm doesn't work, quickly find a place to hide, and I shouldn't have time to take care of you after I go down. ā
I took the spirit rune and felt a trace of warmth in my hand, and then Wang Modao drew a few runes on the spot and pasted them on the two of us, and then we looked at each other, "Let's go!" Wang Modao said softly, and I nodded and walked down together.
At the end of the stairs was a long and narrow corridor that looked like a hospital, and the overhead lights flickered, flickering in the shadows of the two of us, and at a glance, the rooms on both sides were slightly shabby, and the dust flew when we stepped on them. We walked in step by step, the doors on both sides were locked, and I reached out and pushed a few random times, but it seemed that they were all locked and could not be pushed open for a while.
A door in front of us suddenly opened, and the light inside shone on the wall, and a dark shadow flickered twice and disappeared, and we walked to the door unhurriedly. This is a very ordinary ward, several beds are placed horizontally, one even overturned in the corner, the ground is a mess, there are cracked sheets, pillows, and some hospital gowns, nurses' gowns, spots on it can be seen everywhere, the original red blood has long been dried into black blood clots, needles, stethoscopes and small carts are discarded at will, the air is mixed with indescribable smells, the only incomprehensible thing is that the walls on both sides are clean and immaculate, not to mention cobwebs, not even a little stain, It contrasts sharply with the dusty and blood-stained glass windows that face our eyes.
As we watched all this, a faint cry came from far and near, and the sound grew louder, and finally there was a loud cry behind us, but when we turned around, we found that the place where the door should have been was actually a wall! And the black blood clots on this wall can be seen at random, the lime has fallen off in some places, revealing the bricks inside, and the broken cobwebs can be seen everywhere above the wall, and there are some yellowed old newspapers pasted on the wall, which are also stained with blood, and the cry seems to come from behind those bricks!
Wang Modao signaled me not to move, he carefully touched it, he stood in front of the bricks and listened, and then knocked a few times with his hand, the inside seemed to be hollow, and then he tried to push it with his hand, and after feeling a few loose bricks, he began to exert force, and soon those bricks were pushed down, and then the wall also began to collapse because of the unstable force, and for a while the dust was flying, and we quickly covered our mouths and noses.
The crying stopped abruptly, and at the moment when the two of us were stunned, a claw covered with black hair quickly grabbed Wang Modao and grabbed Wang Modao into it, and then a strange laugh hovered in the air. I hurried over, and just as I was about to reach the pile of ruined brick walls, a strong resistance forced me to a stop, as if I had hit a transparent wall, and I groped with my hands to find an exit, only to find myself all the way to the window.
The laughter seemed to be coming from the window, and I stopped moving on and looked up at the window. In my memory, it was early summer, and the strange thing was that there were catkins floating outside the window, and then I looked closely and realized that it was snowflakes. The snow must have been falling for a while, and there was a layer of snow on the windowsill, so I looked at it for a while, turned around and groped the other side, and suddenly I heard someone behind me tapping on the glass, and I turned my head under the guidance of curiosity, only to see a pair of hands that were frozen blue and flapping weakly.
At this moment, a face jumped into my eyes, it should have been a woman's small face, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the bridge of the nose is slightly straight, the cherry mouth plus two shallow dimples, not to say flawless, can also be called a beautiful word, but what I saw at the moment made my heart tremble, just because the face was completely upside down, the chin was up, and the hair was down!
I quickly turned my head and walked back the way I came, the sound of slapping behind me getting louder and louder. After walking for a while, there was suddenly no movement behind me, I stopped and listened intently, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, I had the courage to turn my head slowly, and the window behind me was empty, and there were no snowflakes flying in the sky. I tried to turn around and take a few steps to the window, and everything was so calm that it seemed like I was the only one left in the world.
"Is that you?" A voice behind me thought faintly, I was startled, and turned around a little stiffly, only to see a long-haired woman hanging her head, stretching out her bleeding left hand and whispering.
"Who are you?" I instinctively took a step back and asked. "Why, you can't hear me?" The woman asked, slightly annoyed, and then looked up. It wasn't a human face anymore, the flesh on the left side was drooping, causing the entire left eye to tilt downward, and the large whites of the eyes were squeezed so that only a little black pupil could be seen. The flesh on the right side seemed to have been cut piece by piece with a knife, and the liquid mixed with black blood and pus lay in the flesh that was rolled outward, and the right eyeball hung down on the cheek, and the swaying nerve seemed to be broken in the next second. A red lip that was supposed to be small and round had also been stitched together with dense threads, but now after breaking free, it was all split into sections and hung on the face.
I involuntarily took a few steps back, the woman moved quickly when she saw this, but she didn't walk like a normal person, her upper body leaned forward slightly, her two arms swayed weakly, and there were two rusty long iron nails nailed to each of her collarbones, and the wisps of blood were like crying tears, and her lower body was completely reversed, and her straight buttocks drove the two slender noodle legs to walk backwards and forward.
"Don't come here, what do you want to do?" I noticed that my voice was shaking. "Hehe, men, they are all lower body creatures, when I was bright and moving, all kinds of sweet words, and later, after getting me, I was actually like that! I'm going to settle accounts with you today! She roared as she walked, as if she wanted to vent all the anger in her heart.
I stepped back to the window, at this time the woman was still unhurried backwards and walked towards me, "Why, when I was named the school flower, you were sticky, and then after chasing you and opening a room with you, you immediately changed the hexagram, directly play I don't know or even disappear, your heart is ruthless enough, today I want to dig out your heart to see, whether it's red or black!" She shouted resentfully, and soon came to me.
School flowers? My heart was thinking quickly, I didn't chase any school flowers at school, and I still sometimes laugh at myself for only knowing how to go over the wall and play online games with my roommates, and I haven't even held a girl's hand, let alone chasing a school flower. "Beauty, you're mistaken, we shouldn't know each other." I tried to whisper.
"Aha, what a mistake, I don't know, you are really ruthless, Xue Guizhong!" The woman roared with her mouth open, and the violent movements caused her originally cracked lips to crack again, splashing drops of black blood from time to time. Xue Guizhong? I think I've heard the name. I struggled to remember, and suddenly remembered that the name of the man had been mentioned in the top-secret documents I had seen earlier.
The woman stood in front of me, stretched her neck and looked me up and down carefully, and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect me to be so stupid, like a beast like you, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that you and my best friend Zhang Ziya are also very close?" The more she spoke, the more emotional she became, and then she stretched out her hands and grabbed me by the neck.
I wanted to resist but strangely found myself very sleepy, not to mention lifting my hand and even moving my fingers. The woman's pinching force became stronger and stronger, and soon my breathing became extremely difficult, and the woman watched quietly, the corners of her mouth grinning as if she were smiling. Am I just dying for others in such a fool's place? I thought a little unwillingly, and my eyes swept around.
Just as I was about to pass out, the woman suddenly let go of me and turned around, and I collapsed weakly to the ground. At this moment, a man came from near and far with applause, and I tried to raise my head, only to see a man I had seen at my alma mater slowly approaching. The man walked up to the woman and smiled and said, "How is it, isn't it very pleasant to feel revenge?" ā
The woman didn't speak, but suddenly raised her hand to grab the man, the man was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and asked, "You are crazy, don't kill the person who betrayed you, what do you do to me, who tells you the truth?" The woman snorted coldly and asked coldly, "Hmph! You're embarrassed to tell me the truth, I'm afraid it's the truth that you've covered up! Xue Guiren! ā
A trace of surprise flashed on Xue Guiren's face, and then he replied flatly: "Yes, I originally thought that you Lin Yin was just beautiful in appearance, but I didn't expect to be so smart in Bingxue, and your best friend Zhang Ziya's so-called cleverness should also be the result of you letting her." But I'm curious about how you have the ability to distinguish between the real and the fake, you know, I use the so-called 'face borrowing charm', which is called a ghostly ghost, and I don't believe you have any eyes or anything like that. ā
"Because she's seen me before!" A voice came from behind me, and I turned around with difficulty, and a man who looked exactly like Xue Guiren slowly walked out of my shadow. "Third Xue Guizhong?! It's impossible, aren't you and Zhang Ziya already taken away before, is it the eldest brother Xue Guixian? Xue Guiren shouted in surprise.
"Hmph, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, second brother, when my grandfather passed on the Taoist art to us, he warned us not to be controlled by evil intentions, the so-called art has no good and evil people to divide good and evil! I thought you would reflect after that trouble, but I didn't expect you to fall deeper and deeper, and finally use it on the third child, and afterwards I decided to sacrifice it with the third child, and no longer let you harm the world! After Xue Guixian finished speaking, he suddenly pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and quickly threw out a small disc with his right hand.
Xue Guiren took the disc casually in shock, and then quickly threw away the disc when he thought of something, and then I found that there was something vague attached to the disc on his body and was thrown aside. "Is this really the 'Soul Eater'? You'd do something like that! He screamed loudly, and I felt that his whole body seemed to be blurry a bit, and it felt like a high-definition film had been converted into a standard definition film.
"Are you feeling better?" A soft female voice sounded in my ears, and then I realized that the original terrifying woman was now completely changed, she was tall, fair-skinned, and her delicate facial features combined to form a peugeot beautiful face. "Uh, yes, much better." I couldn't accept this change for a while, and when she saw my expression, she couldn't help but smile, and one word flashed through my mind: Allure smiled.
She looked back at the two black shadows scuffling together, and then said faintly: "After so many years, I finally got a heart, but the road ahead is still a dark sky." At the end she looked at me again.
At this time, the two black shadows of the fierce battle gradually slowed down, and finally stood separately on both sides, "Lin Yin, Xue Guixian, you are so scheming!" Unfortunately, you can't stop my master! The vague man gasped as a hole was torn open in his chest, black blood mixed with pus slowly flowing. The man on the other side grabbed a heart like a stone in his right hand and looked at him indifferently and said: "Hehe, yes, you have a master, and we can only fight with you, and we will have to rely on them to break through the road in the future," he looked at me and nodded, and then continued: "It's a pity, you are still controlled by evil hearts, take a good look at the thousand-year-old heart you are pursuing, this is almost the same as a stone!" Xue Guiren looked away disapplausively.
"Actually, when you and your friends saw my third brother that day, I wanted to go directly to you, but unfortunately I was unintentionally stopped by the second brother, and after your friend used a very powerful talisman to leave, I thought I would lose the opportunity, but I didn't think that your body actually had the quality of absorbing spirits, so I sneaked into your shadow when you were talking to the two guardian spirits, after all, I can't be regarded as a person in this world, this time I may be able to leave without concern with Ayin."
"Haha, it's ridiculous, you really think that he and his friend who is a little capable can deal with my master, you are too self-conscious, my master has a strength that you can't imagine!" Xue Guiren suddenly screamed, his chest slowly glowing, and as the light points spread, he also gradually dissipated.
"Okay, while there is still some time, let's talk to you, our ancestor of the Xue family once saved a dying Taoist priest, the Taoist priest gave us a book before leaving and said that it was the supreme supernatural power in it, but there was not a word in it, until my great-grandfather's generation inadvertently fell into the blood of the black dog, and then there were words, after several generations of efforts, by the time our triplets were born, we could basically read most of the words, and then one year, a wandering Taoist chief showed our village feng shui, and found the book, After that, he taught us a lot, but he told us that it was better not to practice, saying that those spells were too biased and too evil. Xue Guixian then hugged Lin Yin next to him and talked about the past of that year.
The three brothers were all admitted to college, and later in order to reduce the pressure on the family, the eldest brother Xue Guixian did not go to school, and went directly to the nearby factory to run sales. In a club activity, Xue Guiren inadvertently put a spell on Zhang Ziya, and afterwards Xue Guizhong helped Zhang Ziya unwind the spell for him, but the two came together instead.
Xue Guiren, who witnessed all this, was playful, and was about to cast a spell on Lin Yin, one of the school flowers, but was inadvertently broken by Xue Guixian. Xue Guixian burned the book in a fit of rage, and Lin Yin gradually developed a good impression of the boy under contact with Xue Guixian.
Xue Guiren saw that the two girls he started were "snatched" by the eldest brother and the third brother, and finally secretly gave the third child a bloodthirsty curse, in order to break the curse, Xue Guixian and Zhang Ziya Lin Yin agreed to use the Four Elephants Burning Sky Array to bear the blood oath together, and then slowly resolve them one by one, who would have thought that Xue Guiren would set fire to Lin Yin when he dissolved the blood oath for Lin Yin, and stripped him of his unconscious soul, and then the third child used his body sacrifice to seriously injure Xue Guiren. But somehow, Lin Yin turned into a ghost and killed a few negative men in the alley, which became a legend.
"Okay, we'll take care of our affairs ourselves, you hurry up and help your friend, although he is profound, he can't stand the other party's many people, oh, this is a few pages left behind after I burned the book back then, I don't know if your friend has a way to unlock the secret of these pages of wordless heavenly books." Xue Guixian handed me a few pieces of white paper and wiped them with his hand, and the original appearance of the ward dissipated, and I was standing on the edge of a cliff, and there was a hole in front of me, faintly shining with a little light.
I patted my chest with some fear, and then saw Xue Guixian and Lin Yin snuggling up and slowly dissipating in the air, and Lin Yin waved at me with a light smile. I tried to adjust my breath and strode towards the hole, and after a few steps, suddenly there was a huge thrust behind me, and I rolled down the inclined road with my center of gravity, and then crashed into a hard object and passed out.
