Chapter 112: The Wizard's Ban
Wen Yu suddenly stopped when she said this, and then stared at me intently with a pair of eyes.
I was a little overwhelmed by her and asked, "What are you going to do?" "
Wen Yu looked away and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I like to stare at people when I think about problems. Wen Yu said that she was embarrassed, but I didn't see any embarrassment on her face.
Then, she sighed meaningfully: "Xu You." "
I cleared my throat: "What's wrong?" "
Wen Yu smiled and said, "I heard that your master's soul is in the coffin shop?" "
I nodded, "That's right." "
Wen Yu said, "I can help rescue your master." Would you like to? "
I was so happy that I couldn't help but say, "That's good." Of course I do, why don't I want to? "
Wen Yu said again: "However, you have to help me get rid of that murderer first." "
I couldn't help but ask, "The murderer?" "
Wen Yu said, "It's the murderer who killed me." "
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I had the ability to kill that murderer, I would have rescued the master myself." Do I need to beg you? "
Wen Yu shook his head: "I didn't let you do this independently, I just wanted you to help me." Help me in my time of need. Can you say yes? "
I nodded, "Yes." However, this time you won't let me make a blood contract again, will you? "
Wen Yu said, "Of course not. Then, she looked at Wushuang and the thin man: "Do you want to come with you too?" "
Wushuang nodded, and the thin man muttered, "Xu You, are we looking for news of the wizard first?" As long as you find a wizard, what can't be solved? In case he rashly rescued Zhang Yuan from the coffin shop and annoyed the underworld, it was not a joke. "
Wen Yu looked disdainful: "Can you find a genius?" For thousands of years, almost all Taoists have been looking for him, and has anyone found him again? "
The thin man flashed the peachwood sword in his hand: "My uncle just heard the news of the wizard." "
Wen Yu smiled slightly, as if he was very unconvinced by the thin man's words, and said softly: "Then invite your uncle out and see if he has found a wizard." If not, you just need to help me kill the murderer, and I can not only help you rescue Zhang Yuan, but also take you to see Zhang Xin and teach you the secret technique. "
The thin man nodded, accepting the offer, and then, with his peachwood sword, made a cut on his finger. Blood dripped on the sword, and then, the fat man's master appeared.
Paper Zha Wu introduced him to us and said, "This junior brother's surname is Hao. You call him Uncle Hao. If you feel that you are outside, you can call him Old Man Hao. Don't you like to call me Old Man Wu too? "
Although Paper Zha Wu said it very casually, we still called out very politely: "Uncle Hao." "
Old man Hao looked very happy, and his face was full of joy: "I finally saw my relatives again." "
He looked tired, but he looked much better than when we first met him.
The fat man walked over and called out respectfully, "Master." "
Old man Hao nodded, and happily patted the fat on the fat man's body: "How are these years?" "
The fat man said with a crying voice: "It's okay, it's okay." I have a senior brother to take care of me. Master, where have you been all these years? Let me find it all out. What about your body? Why is there only a soul left? "
Old man Hao sighed: "Apprentice, it's good to be able to have this soul left as a teacher." Many of the people who went with me were gone, and their bodies and souls were gone. "
The fat man asked anxiously, "What's going on?" Where have you been? Is there any danger encountered? "
Old man Hao nodded and said, "I just took you as an apprentice not long ago. A fellow Taoist came to me and said that he had a little news of a genius. You know, we are burdened with this curse, and every Taoist priest is controlled by the underworld in a daze. Of course, everyone is not reconciled. So I tried every possible way to inquire about the wizards, even if I died, I wanted to die. "
Although I heard that the fat man's master had gotten a little bit of news about the wizard, I didn't expect that his disappearance was directly related to the wizard.
Old man Hao said: "At that time, that Taoist friend said, I don't know who came out of the news, when the wizard fought with the underworld, he had long expected a way out, in case of defeat, he must leave incense, so as to make a comeback in the future." Therefore, before he entered the underworld, he once chose a deserted deep mountain, and in this deep mountain, the wizard laid a ban. Whoever escapes into it can concentrate on the cultivation of Taoism without being constrained by the underworld.
This news is really tempting, but no one can guarantee the truth of this statement. Daoist friends said that they organized a group of people, about 100 or so Taoist priests. I'm going to go there together. When I heard the news, I immediately said I was going. "
When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help but interject and said, "Master, why don't you take me with you when you want to go to that good place?" "
Old man Hao sighed: "According to word of mouth, it is true that that place is a good place, but what if there is any danger?" I had just taken you as an apprentice at that time, and you were too young to learn any Taoism at all. Besides, the brain is not very good. I'll bring you over. If something happens, aren't you sent to death? You are different from me, I am already old, and if I don't think about it, I will be scattered, and you are still young and have a lot of days to live, I originally wanted to explore the way, if that place is really heaven on earth, I will come back to pick you up. "
The fat man asked, "So, Master, are you here to pick me up when you come back this time?" "
Old man Hao shook his head: "I'm here to run for my life." The 100 or so people who went with me are dead. "
We asked, "Dead?" What will die for? "
Old man Hao's eyes were blank and he fell into deep thought: "At the beginning, we were in a good hurry. Except for a few Yang Shou who ran out and were taken away by the people of the underworld, there was no loss of manpower.
"We were able to find the legendary location without any problems. It was found that it was just an ordinary barren mountain. As far as the eye can see, it is all rubble and weeds. It didn't look like there was some kind of ban at all. "
The fat man asked with concern, "Have you been deceived?" Then how did everyone die? "
Old man Hao said: "At the beginning, we also thought that we had been deceived. But this matter is related to his own life and death, and naturally no one is reconciled. So everyone searched carefully here. Such a search really found some traces that proved that someone here had lived here, and that it should have something to do with the wizards.
"There was a lot of excitement. They all thought that the rumor was probably true. And, there's growing evidence that there's a good chance the Wizards are here. After all, in the first battle of the underworld, the wizard disappeared, not died in battle. It is believed that he was most likely seriously injured and then hid here. So, we started a new round of searching. At that point, we had been there for two days. On the third day, something happened. "
When Old Man Hao said this, there was a panicked look on his face. He relented, and said, "On the third day, we found that ten of our companions were missing. At first we thought they were lost, so we waited where we were for a few hours. However, these ten people never returned, so we had to go to them. After this search, we found that a hundred paces away from us, there were ten corpses lying horizontally. They were covered in blood and wounds. And, judging by the shape of the wound, it should be a sword wound. "
Old man Hao shuddered: "We all heard the same rumor and organized it temporarily, and we didn't have deep friendships with each other. As soon as these ten people died, everyone's first thought was. There are moles in the crowd. Slashing their own companions. No one knows what these people are doing here, but the most likely thing is that these people have found all the good things here and kept them for themselves, so they killed their fellow disciples.
"Since then, we've been wary of each other. Even when eating and sleeping, you have to tense your nerves, for fear that if you are not careful, you will become someone else's ghost.
"Daoist friends who came with me, the two of us have known each other since childhood, so naturally we trust each other, and we are both good, so we are always together, so we can take care of each other. Finally survived the evening of the third day, which was so calm that we didn't hear anything. At first I thought it was safe this time, but after dawn there were only half of us left.
At this moment, everyone panicked and ran out of the city to find someone. As a result, when I searched like this, I found that there were dozens of corpses lying in the same place yesterday. The wounds on their bodies were the same as yesterday, still sword wounds.
At this point, there are no more doubts. Groups of people are trying to kill us. We sat down, testified to each other, defended each other's innocence, and argued from morning until dark, never to any avail. Seeing the sun set, we decided that half of us were on duty at night and half were sleeping. That fellow Taoist and I were in the crowd on duty that night.
"We gathered around the bonfire, looked at the sleeping Taoist priests next to us, and talked to each other about the bitterness of these years.
"It's finally dawn. We stretched out exhausted. I thought to myself, this time I was finally safe. However, the Taoist priests lying on the ground remained motionless and remained asleep. We went over to check and realized that they had all been killed.
"Those of us on night duty were stunned. Because we watched them last night. There was nothing unusual around, how did they die? We speculated for a while, and we all thought that the mole must be among the living, and this man was nominally on duty last night, and then killed everyone who slept while we were not looking. "
