Chapter 174: Another Successor
Now that I think about it, it was really one of the darkest nights of my life.
Judging from Ma Tianshun's words, he should be familiar with my creditors, at least they seem to have set up some conspiracy.
It turns out that when I went up the mountain today, Ma Tianshun, who was hiding in the woods, found these yellow skins who had been following me, Ma Tianshun already knew the origin of these guys, so he discussed with them to harm me together, Ma Tianshun knew that these yellow skins would be fascinated, so he wanted them to confuse me and make me collapse when I was uneasy, and then they were arresting me.
But to say that Ma Tianshun has exhausted all his skills, but he is still a bad move, where did he think that these yellow skins would be so ruthless, and my heart can bear it so much, that those yellow skins' magic actually had the opposite effect, not only did I not lose my strength because of grief and indignation at the time, but let me run, because those yellow skins gave me hallucinations indirectly had a hypnotic effect, so I lost my mind at that time and ran so fast that they couldn't catch up with me.
And those yellow skins originally hoped that their magic would make me break down and commit suicide, but just in time for my life, the appearance of Qian Zha paper made me regain hope.
It can be said that the situation that night was caused by this series of mistakes, if it weren't for Ma Tianshun's viciousness and paranoia, wanting to completely humiliate me and make me collapse, his subordinates would have caught me and Qian Zha Paper, speaking of which, those yellow skins used magic on me before, although I lost my heart, but now I think about it, under this mistake, it actually saved my life.
And it was precisely because of his arrogance that he had come to such an end, but the more this happened, the more irritated he felt in his heart, and as I said before, people like him would not find a reason in themselves after being frustrated, and it should be said that in the afternoon he had made up his mind with the ghosts of the yellow skins, saying that if he caught me and asked me to hand over what they wanted, he would hand me over to them.
But speaking of Ma Tianshun, this person is insidious and vicious, and now he has a broken arm, he is really angry when he sees them, where will he keep his promise to them? So he shouted at the yellow-skinned men, "Die! Let's all die!! ”
Speaking of this, I saw Ma Tianshun yelling at the 'evil arhat', the evil arhat looked back at him, Ma Tianshun muttered a bunch of words to him that we didn't understand, and the monster turned to look at the yellow-skinned ghost next to me.
Those yellow-skinned ghosts were very angry when they saw that Ma Tianshun was so dishonest, but it was too late, just when they scolded Ma Tianshun, the monster had already rushed over, the speed of the monster was extremely fast, and before those yellow-skinned ghosts wanted to fight back, they were caught and swept to the ground.
As I said before, the humanization techniques of the five animals are not the same, but the methods of cultivation are almost the same, after they cultivate these animals, although the soul can leave, but it will not rot, many folk tales call their ** 'true body', which is about as long as the real body is not damaged, then they will not die and can continue to cultivate, before my grandfather Yao Siyi burned the true body of these yellow-skinned people, so they can only become something like a lonely soul and a wild ghost.
Those yellow-skinned people didn't have much ability in the first place, and after being swept down by the monster, they couldn't stand up again, and they saw that if they took another beat, they would be destroyed.
It was the worst outcome I could have predicted.
We were all seriously injured, Hu Baihe and those fox fairies couldn't get up, including Ma Tianshun, the only thing that could move in the whole forest was the monster with an abscess on his belly.
I wanted to move, but my body just didn't obey the call, so I had to look at Ma Tianshun hard, speaking of his situation was much worse than mine, a face was swollen like a bun, sitting on the ground with a bent body, and missing an arm, I saw him say to me fiercely: "This time you are not dead?" You're not dead this time?! ”
Seeing that the tide was turning, and knowing that it would be futile to say anything more, I sighed and said to him, "What if I die?" You're pathetic. ”
"What did you say?!" Ma Tianshun shouted loudly.
I gasped and looked at him, and then said to him, "I said you are so pitiful, this is what you just told me, I will pay you back first!" ”
"Shut up!!" That Ma Tianshun suddenly coughed, and then he roared at me: "What kind of capital do you have to say that others are pitiful? ”
"What if I'm dead?!" I looked at Ma Tianshun, and the monster was still tilting his head next to him at this time, I thought to myself that it had come to this point anyway, it was better to be happy, so I shouted at Ma Tianshun: "Even if I die, I am better than you, because I have friends who accompany me, and I live for ideals in my life, what about you?" What do you have?! ”
Ma Tianshun was scolded by me like this, and he couldn't speak for a while, only to see that he began to cough again, and I gritted my teeth and said to him: "You have nothing!" You're a wretched creature who doesn't even have your own home! Just to live to harm others, and in the end you hurt yourself, yes, you took revenge, but what did you get? Look at your face, look at your hands! You will have regrets in this life, and you will not be happy! ”
"Shut up!! Shut up!! Ma Tianshun seemed to be told that he was in the sore spot, and I saw him yelling at me: "What do you know? What do you know? It's just a little fool in the dark, and he dares to talk about me? Do you know what I'm looking for?! Do you know how I felt growing up? Do you know what kind of eyes I grew up in?! Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?! Okay, okay!! Now that it's come to this point, then I don't want it, I don't want anything! I'm going to kill you right now!! ”
With that, he yelled at the monster, which grinned at it, and then turned to look at me, and in its black hole I seemed to see death approaching.
But at that time I was not afraid, on the contrary, I only felt guilt in my heart, I turned my head to look at Hu Baihe and Qian Zha Paper, they looked at me at this time, Hu Baihe did not speak, it was the same as me, it was also full of guilt, and Qian Zha Paper smiled at me, and then said: "It's okay, I can take you directly to my house next year." ”
I know what he means by this, to say that he seems to take life and death very lightly, it seems to be related to his upbringing, his family lives in Fengdu, I heard him say that there is a ghost gate closed there every year, and he and his father have also been to the Yin Ji a few times before, so he is not afraid of death.
But the more he did this, the more guilty I felt in my heart, I'm sorry, good brother, I was the one who caused you, I sighed, and looked at the monster closer and closer, until I saw it tilt its head and stretch out its hands to me, I closed my eyes, it was over, it was all over.
But was it really what I thought at the time? Of course not, if that were the case, the story would be a hell of a story.
In fact, that night, just when I had given up all hope, when I had closed my eyes, when the monster was reaching out and grabbing at me, things took a turn for the better.
Jingle bells, jingle bells.
Just as the monster's claws were about to touch my neck and strangle me to death, suddenly there was a sound of brass bells in the woods, and the sound of brass bells was so crisp that it stood out in the night sky.
And the bell seemed to have magical power, and as soon as it appeared, the monster's body shook violently, and I was stunned, thinking what was going on? Where did this bell come from?
Just when I felt stunned in my heart, I saw that in the woods behind Ma Tianshun, another person suddenly walked out, and this person is very familiar to me, under the light of the emergency light, this person is about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a mink coat, short hair, and bright eyes, who else will be in Nie Bao? !
Nie Baozhong?! I couldn't believe my eyes, and I wondered how he was here. And he looked very calm, as if he was not afraid of the monster at all, but I saw that he was holding a knife about a foot and a half in his left hand, and a ring of bells was tied to his other hand, and he shook his right hand as he walked, and the bells jingled like this.
I was really shocked at the time, I had seen all the two things that this old boy was holding in his hand, because these two things, one was a handbell used by the Manchu god dancer, and the other was a 'golden knife' used by the shaman to worship the heavens.
Needless to say, this handbell is because I also have it, but the golden knife I did see for the second time, I remember the first time I saw this thing, or in the Forbidden City display case in Shenyang, the shape and size are all the same, but the knife in Nie Baozhong's hand is much sharper than the last time I saw it, the blade is golden and bright without a trace of patina, according to legend, the shaman's golden knife can kill ghosts and demons, how can there be this thing in this Nie Bao?
Just when I was stunned, I saw that Nie Baozhong had already walked out of the woods, and after Ma Tianshun glanced back at him, he was also a little surprised, only to see him say to Nie Baozhong: "You ............"
Before he finished his words, he saw Nie Baozhong sneer at Ma Tianshun, and then said to him: "You didn't expect it!" ”
While speaking, I saw him kick Ma Tianshun's chest, and Ma Tianshun fell to the ground with a 'wow' sound, I was full of question marks at the time, and I didn't react at all, and after seeing Nie Baozhong knock down Ma Tianshun, I subconsciously shouted: "Brother Nie............"
"I'll talk about it later!" I saw Nie Baozhong frowning and looking at the monster, he kicked down the Ma Tianshun and picked up the bamboo tube on the ground, and then an arrow rushed over, the monster saw this Nie Baozhong coming, and subconsciously wanted to attack, but as soon as its body jumped, I saw Nie Baozhong suddenly stretched out his right hand and shook the bell at the monster, the bell rang, and I saw that the monster's body suddenly trembled, so that it fell to the ground and danced with its hands.
And Nie Baozhong slowly approached with a golden knife, walked in front of the monster, raised the golden knife with his left hand and slapped it the monster's shoulder, the monster suddenly knelt on all fours on the ground, only to see Nie Baozhong cut the palm of his right hand with a golden knife, and the blood flowed down the palm to the red rope at the wrist, and then I saw that Nie Baozhong slightly hooked the index finger and ring finger of his right hand to make a trick, and then used the remaining three fingers to point at the monster's forehead and cheekbones on both sides.
It is also strange to say that after the monster was clasped by Nie Baozhong's right hand, it seemed to be frozen and motionless, only to see Nie Baozhong shouting: "Abkai Fuling!! ”
As soon as he said this, my heart was shocked again! Because I've heard it and know what it means!
If I'm not mistaken, this sentence is supposed to be a transliteration of the Manchu text, i.e., 'apqaifuliga', apqai means heaven, and fuliga translates as 'blessed person', or 'life', which adds up to 'mandate of heaven'.
And the reason why I know this sentence is because the old lame man told me in the past that this sentence was the name of Nurhachi's year back then, and later the shaman jumped into the gods, and often used this sentence as a spell to suppress those disobedient evil spirits.
How could Nie Baozhong know the secret art of this shaman? No, looking at his demeanor and the posture of his shot, it seems that he understands this, oh my God, what the hell is going on?
Just when I was surprised, I saw that after Nie Baozhong shouted this, the monster trembled, and then began to soften, and finally turned into a puff of black smoke and drilled into the bamboo tube again, because the wooden plug of the bamboo tube did not know where it fell, so Nie Baozhong flipped it over and plunged it into the soil.
After doing this series of actions, I saw Nie Baozhong let out a sigh, then clapped his hands, and quickly stepped forward to help me up, he said to me while helping me sit up: "Xiaoyuan, are you okay?" ”
I looked at Nie Baozhong, and I couldn't speak for a while, I thought to myself, what the hell is going on? And at this moment, Qian Zha Paper on the side shouted loudly: "Hey! Brother Nie, it turns out that you are so powerful, why haven't I seen you show your hand before? ”
After Nie Baozhong heard Qian Zhazhi say this, he looked at me again, and then a helpless smile appeared on his face, only to see him sigh at me: "Xiaoyuan, I'm really sorry, I couldn't tell you because of some things before, in fact, we are a family, and I am also the descendant of the royal shaman." ”
