Chapter Seventy-Eight. An unforeseen truth

I glared at Ma Daoren, who also clasped his hands together and hung them on his abdomen, still wearing the same Taoist robe I wore when I saw him yesterday. Not only did he come, but he was followed by two younger-looking men, one dressed in a Taoist robe, the other in civilian clothes.

I raised my hand at Ma Daoren, and then said to him, Mr. Ma, this is the wound I have suffered thanks to you. Maybe there is a bit of an inexplicable entanglement between you and Hu Zongren, but this time, since you hurt an irrelevant person like me, I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to solve. My tone is contemptuous, and the ruffian is coming up again, if we help you get things done, it will be okay if the situation improves, then the Eight Pole Seal still has new scars, you say that you are a person of your age, bullying our juniors, what kind of thing are you?

I said indignantly, from now on, the surname Li will also officially work with you. The ability is not as big as yours, and the helper is not as powerful as yours, but I will definitely use all my friends who can be used, and I will play with you to the end this time. When it comes to the last sentence, I'm already a little excited. Hu Zongren stood beside my bed, his hands in his trouser pockets, but he was surprised to say nothing. I said to Ma Daoren, don't forget, what Hu Zongren's father-in-law does, although the style of the people who have no way is not very upright, but if you really fight, you may not be opponents.

Ma Daoren listened quietly to my words of threat, intimidation, and revenge, and still had the same indifferent expression as the day before we saw him. However, the two young people behind him couldn't help it, and the man in civilian clothes with short hair pointed at me and said loudly, don't be ignorant, my uncle is your senior, you can show me some respect when you speak!

Well, Guizhou accent, it turns out that this is your uncle. I said to him, it's not your turn to speak here, your master's affection is deep and keep it with the people of your own sect, although the surname Li is timid and afraid of death, but he is never afraid of things, your uncle played me and Hu Zongren as monkeys, and I will admit that my brain is stupid, but I will get it back if I say anything. Another young man in a Taoist robe couldn't help but speak, he said that Uncle Shi left a small life for the two of you this time, and without the clues that Uncle Shi left for you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even know how to die! I sneered and retorted to him, I don't think I'm clever, but I'm by no means a fool, your uncle deliberately set up a situation from the beginning, so that an employer can find us, so as to lead us into a trap step by step, is this the practice of a righteous gentleman? You Jingming sent such a high-IQ scum, learning the Tao and not defending the Tao, thinking about how to deal with others all day long, I am afraid that it is your ancestor Immortal Xu Tianshi, and Jiuquan will also scold the master for his misfortune!

I know that I am indeed a little angry when I speak, but isn't the purpose of arguing to be angry with the other party, right? My upbringing and natural personality have made me more clever and always able to see the key to things at a glance. When I was a child, my mother said that I always liked to be clever, and the meaning of being clever sounded to me almost the same as cunning. For example, at that time, my mother was afraid that I would have worm teeth, so she wouldn't let me eat candy. So when I go to other children's houses, I always look at the candy in their candy box and ask that child, what is this? The child replied that it was candy. I said that it doesn't taste good at first glance, and it definitely doesn't taste good! So the children said, who said it was not delicious! It's sweet! Don't believe you'll eat it yourself!

So I can always eat good food, and this trick can be applied to other places, such as this game console is not fun at all, you definitely don't have pocket money to buy good food, etc. In other words, I can often accurately poke at the point that others care about and want to prove the most, and hit the nail on the head.

Sure enough, when I mentioned Old Patriarch Xu Xun, the two apprentices began to point at me excitedly and scold, and the one wearing the Taoist robe even made a gesture to rush up and beat me, these two disciples looked about the same age as me, at most a few years older than me. I'm injured, and if I really fight, I'll definitely suffer, but Hu Zongren will definitely not see me beaten, so I'm not afraid of these two soy sauce beaters at all. At this time, Ma Daoren stretched out a hand, made a closed gesture to his two teachers and nephews, and then continued to clasp his hands, walked to the foot of my hospital bed, and then said to me, you two are rude, today I learned that you have solved this matter, and I have mixed feelings in my heart. Although the time was wrong, and the two of them did not have a good impression of the contemptible people, they also made a special trip to visit and express their respect.

Respect? You are the cause of all this, what kind of respect can you have? Although Ma Daoren's tone was still polite, he still felt indifferent. Ma Daoren said, just now my two teachers and nephews were disrespectful, and I ask the two little brothers to forgive me. I snorted, bypassed his seemingly apologetic words, and continued to ask him, don't talk to me, you tell me, what is going on with the Baji Seal on Hu Zongren's back, I knew that Lu Dao Xie Dongmei had to add a new scar to do it or not, why should we help you do this? You're not kidding us, what are you? Let me tell you, in my game rules, there is absolutely no willingness to let people play this!

Ma Daoren hesitated for a few seconds and didn't speak, then turned around and said to the two juniors behind him, you go outside and wait for me first, I have some personal matters to explain to these two. Although the two disciples still glared at me and Hu Zongren angrily, they didn't dare not listen to Uncle Shi's words, so they turned around and walked out, looking very angry. After the two disciples left, Ma Dao looked at Hu Zongren and said to Hu Zongren, can I take a look at the Eight Pole Seal on your back?

Hu Zongren snorted and said Ouch, you still need to watch it, this has your share of credit, you should be the most familiar with it, do you still need to watch it? The tone is sour, and I guess I learned it badly with me. Ma Daoren still said lightly, please show me. Hu Zongren glanced at me, I didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this Ma Daoren's gourd, so he nodded at Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren turned his back to Ma Daoren, and then pulled up his clothes. I noticed that the moment Ma Daoren saw the Eight Pole Seal, the right eyebrow shook slightly. This expression was telling me that he was also surprised by what he saw. So I asked Ma Daoren, now that you have seen it, can you explain what is going on?

Ma Daoren bowed his head and said, In fact, you yourself made a mistake, I just took advantage of you.

Although this was a guessed result, Hu Zongren and I were still very angry. Ma Daoren then said to Hu Zongren, I didn't put the Eight Pole Seal on your back for you at the beginning, I was just a person who happened to know about Lu Dao. These eight seals usually refer to the eight extraordinary trials, but as far as I know, this one in you has nothing to do with the trials.

As soon as Ma Daoren said this, Hu Zongren and I were stunned, I knew that our initial conjecture about the identity of Ma Daoren might be a little biased, but we didn't expect that this Eight Pole Seal was actually wrong from the beginning. Hu Zongren stood up suddenly, clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and asked Ma Daoren in a slightly excited and incredulous voice, what do you mean by this, do you mean that all the things we did desperately before have all gone the wrong way, and all of them have been useless, right? Ma Daoren shook his head and said, it was your conjecture about the Eight Pole Seal at the beginning that you chose the wrong direction, and this Eight Pole Seal is not to test you, but to tell you how much time you have left. Hu Zongren asked loudly, how is it possible, before we went to Haier Road to clean up the stunt ghosts, after that thing failed, why did I immediately have an extra trace on my back? And you made me deal with the ghost of that middle school, and we didn't show any scars after we succeeded? Ma Daoren still said coldly, do you still remember the August 15 appointment that Yao seniors made with you?

When he talked to Ma Daoren on the phone for the first time, he mentioned this Yao senior. Obviously, this Yao seniors know my existence and describe me as a "stinky boy from the Wu family". The phone call I received earlier with a northern Sichuan accent also asked me to tell Hu Zongren that he wanted Hu Zongren to go to Chengdu to find him on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. And since he is calling the old-timers, that age must not be light. So I hurriedly asked Ma Daoren, is the rest of the time you are talking about until August 15? Ma Daoren nodded and said, That's right, the Eight Pole Seal on Hu Zongren's back, no matter how many strange things you encountered during this period, you will unconsciously associate these things with the Eight Pole Seal, in fact, the two are not related, even if you stay at home and don't do anything, this Eight Pole Seal will continue to increase traces as time progresses. If Hu Zongren does not meet Yao seniors at that time, he will carry the Eight Poles Seal for the rest of his life, of course, this life will not be very long.

All this was so unexpected that we could not even have doubted it before. So I was also a little excited, and suddenly stood on the ground from the bed, ripped off the needle in my hand, didn't care about wearing shoes, walked to Ma Daoren's side, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed his clothes and said, What about you? What's going on with your appearance? Why did you appear in this event so coincidentally? Since you said that these ghost things have nothing to do with the Eight Extremes Seal, then why do you want to set a trap for Lu step by step, let us get into it step by step, be led by your nose, and let you borrow our hands to get rid of the female ghost, what is this for?

Since the first time we met, Ma Daoren has always been expressionless and cold. And it wasn't until I asked him so much that he had a slightly sad look on his face. He looked at me and said, I didn't want to take advantage of you, but if I had to do it myself, I really couldn't do it.

After saying that, he lowered his head very decadently, completely different from the previous high-ranking appearance, and sat on my hospital bed.
