Chapter 38: Suspicion
Chapter XXXVIII
In the face of the sudden change, I was caught off guard, only to see the demon fire slammed into my chest, and I suddenly felt that my internal organs were turning over, and I was nauseous and wanted to vomit. After a while, I felt my throat sweet, my lips wet, and my vision blurred, and I reached out to wipe my lips and looked down to find that my seven orifices were bleeding non-stop. My eyes went dark, and I fainted and lost consciousness.
……
When I opened my eyes again, I found that the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade on my chest was gone. I touched my face, there was no blood, I guess it had been dealt with by Xiao Xia. I looked left and right, and found that the black-purple sarcophagus just now was sitting there motionless, looking very calm, and the hordes of zombies around me had disappeared at some point. But I can still feel that I haven't been in a coma for a long time.
He heard the conversation between Zhang Hefang and Lao Qi, and vaguely heard Zhang Hefang say in a puzzled voice: "In this way, do you think Ah Bao is an undercover agent?" ”
The old man didn't speak, but the old python who was originally in a coma who was dragged by the old man in the water opened his mouth and said: "Boss, you have to believe us, this can't be wrong, didn't you see what he looked like after entering the secret passage at that time, he was almost like a madman, and I have to say that Brother Liao is really righteous enough to save the two of us...... Alas. ”
I sat up, moved my neck, and found that Bu Jin and Xiao Xia were also by Zhang Hefang's side, so I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Unexpectedly, I was just a very ordinary sentence, but they looked at me one by one as if they had heard the atomic bomb explosion, and they were even more frightened than seeing the giant priest. Especially Bu Jin, she shrank aside, her hands desperately protecting the Spirit Extraction Demon Jade on her chest, as if she was afraid that I would snatch it again, but this time, when she looked at me, it was no longer as plain as water but a little more fearful.
"Hey!" I was a little unhappy, and said that I saved you just now, so you shouldn't treat me like this, so I stepped forward and asked, "Why are you so afraid of me?" ”
As I walked, I took a picture in the dark river, and found that I hadn't turned into any terrible monster, and my body hadn't changed much from before, except that it was stronger.
Fortunately, among these people, there are calm people like Zhang Hefang. He looked at me, also nervous, and then asked tentatively, "Mr. Fan?" ”
"What?" I'm a little tired of their reactions.
Zhang Hefang looked at me like this, his shoulders drooped, he let out a deep breath, turned back and said to everyone: "He is still Fan Peixi for the time being, there is no change, and he is not a Wuzong at all." ”
"What are you talking about, didn't I just wear the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade, and it wasn't to save everyone!" I said.
Zhang Hefang said: "Yes, Mr. Fan, you believe what I told you about the Six Imperial Attendants this time, as the Heavenly Imperial Attendant among the Six Imperial Attendants, your resurrection in the Wu Sect appeared as a vessel. ”
I nodded, remembering that when I was in the old man's cave in Shennongjia before, Bu Jin used to look at me angrily, and she once told me that I was a dish. also said that I betrayed something, I think she probably thought that I betrayed Nanwu at that time, and instead deceived her (that is, Azina) with Fan Jiyun and them, and after collecting all the magic weapons, she did not help Wuzong resurrect, but killed Wuzong. Where did she know at that time, even I was kept in the dark.
Zhang Hefang continued: "As you saw just now, the power of the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade in your hands is much stronger than that of Bu Jin, and this is also because of your identity, only you can completely convert the power of the evil spirit in the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade into your own use. ”
I remembered the magical feeling of being so full of strength that it was so delightful that I really wanted to do it again.
However, I then asked, "But what happened to the red flame that came out of the sarcophagus later, and the red beads in the flame, I wonder if it was the 'red eyes' we saw outside the stone door, maybe we were wrong." ”
Zhang Hefang said: "We are not sure about the situation you are talking about, but one thing is certain. That's the red demon fire, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the spirit of the giant priest, and within that spirit should be the so-called Neidan formed in the old corpse. ”
Listening to this explanation, I couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the giant gave me his soul, or should it be given to the Spirit Extraction Demon Jade, and he voluntarily dedicated his soul to help the Wu Sect resurrect?" ”
Zhang Hefang nodded and said, "I think so too." To tell the truth, although the giant priest has become a zombie, but with the inner pill and powerful spells he has formed, he can still dominate the side in this priest's burial pit, and he is probably a real high priest of the ancient Shu country before his death. ”
"Since that high priest's mana is so powerful, could he be one of the six royal attendants?" I asked.
Speaking of this, Zhang Hefang also frowned, and said: "Yes, I have been struggling with this question just now, the mana of this high priest is by no means worse than any of the six imperial attendants, but if he is really the six imperial attendants, then there is no need for him to dedicate his soul at all, he just needs to hand over the magic weapon he is taking care of to us." ”
The old python said at this time: "Eh, by the way, isn't there such a rumor among our Southern Witches, in the burial pit of the priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom, 'the magic weapon is hidden in the hands of sinners, and it must be taken by the waiter', could it be that the giant just told you something?" ”
"With me?" I was surprised that the old python would say such a thing, so I said: "Bu Jin told him that he couldn't understand the ancient Miao language, how could I understand what the giant said." ”
"No, you obviously spoke to the giant priest just now, and the priest seems to understand you." The old python said.
I thought back for a moment and remembered that I had indeed spoken to the giant, but, at that time, even I didn't know what my body was making such a sound, as if it wasn't what I said. And, as I thought about it, I didn't remember what the giant had told me, he just pointed to the grotto in front of us, and nothing else told me.
I told Zhang Hefang what had happened, and they didn't want to discuss it too much, because the grotto was right in front of us, and we would know everything if we took a break and went there to see it at once.
At this time, I remembered their previous conversation and said, "By the way, what did you just say about Bao Ye?" ”
As soon as Zhang Hefang heard me mention Bao Ye, his eyebrows couldn't help wrinkling, he shook his head, and said to me, "Ask them." ”
I turned my head to look at the old python and the old man, they looked at me with dry eyes, and after pondering for a while, they said to me: "We suspect that Bao Ye should be an undercover agent of the organization, and he lurked with us all the way." ”
"Why do you say that?" I remembered Bao Ye's big personality, no matter how I looked at him, he didn't look like an undercover agent.
The old python still seemed to have palpitations until now, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Why do you say that? Just because he killed Brother Liao is enough to explain everything. As soon as we walked into the corridor, I noticed that something was wrong with him, his eyes were always wandering, looking around, and from time to time he looked back at me, and laughed as mad as he could. ”
I saw that he was incoherent and messy, so I took out a cigarette from my bosom and lit it for him, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you sort out your thoughts, otherwise I will be confused." ”
The old python took the cigarette, took a deep puff, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about our experience over there." ”
