Chapter 58: Slaying the Dragon in a Dream
As soon as Huang Yunqiu finished speaking, the clouds in the sky opened and the fog dispersed, and the lightning that had been held for a long time never slashed down, the gray wolf first froze for a while, and then raised his head to look at Huang Yunqiu, his mouth was still blistering with blood, and he opened his mouth to speak, but what came out was a whine, after a few attempts, it stood up and limped away, walked for a while, suddenly turned its head to look at Huang Yunqiu, and then disappeared into the forest.
The night before, it looked back at Huang Yunqiu, we understood it as revenge, and now Huang Yunqiu didn't care about the previous suspicions and named it a person, so that it escaped the thunder and thunder of the sky, and now looked back at Huang Yunqiu, it should be a repayment, right?
But I can't quite understand Huang Yunqiu's generosity, the wolf is a cold-blooded animal, can it really remember Huang Yunqiu?
However, it has been sealed, and Liu Cheng did not express his opinion, but only said, "I just hope that it can really read your good and stop acting for the tiger." ”
Then continue to return to the Qingshan Temple, back to the view, but the scene in front of us stunned us, outside the Qingshan View Gate, full of scattered bones, these bones are not human, but belong to the wolf.
After seeing it, Liu Cheng knocked on Huang Yunqiu's head and said, "The reason why you were bullied so badly by them is because sometimes you are too kind, that Gao Licheng broke your bones and locked your soul, but you let him go in the end." These bones are undoubtedly brought by the wolf, this is a demonstration to you, but you have made it a human, if it really has the ability to cultivate a human form in the future, you are not afraid that it will not miss the old feelings to retaliate against you? ”
We waited sideways for Huang Yunqiu's answer.
Huang Yunqiu is indeed too kind, from the fact that they were able to risk their lives to save their grandfather, they can see that being too kind is easy to be taken advantage of, I seem to be able to understand why she is a mountain god who is so miserable, and a little more scheming will not be like this.
Huang Yunqiu looked at Liu Cheng with an embarrassed face, and said for a while, "When I was the god of the mountain, I only blessed the people in the commune, allowing them to drive away the wild beasts in the mountains without interfering in management, and those wolves that were killed by people are very likely to have their families, so it will hate me, and now it owes me a favor, we don't owe each other anything." ”
Liu Cheng smiled, didn't say much, let us sit in the room and meditate, he was busy and went to make a fire to boil water and cook, during this period Huang Yunqiu went to help him, but because the fire was too strong, Huang Yunqiu didn't dare to approach, so she had to give up, she went to sort out the bones outside the Taoist temple by herself, and buried those bones next to the Taoist temple.
After dinner that day, they sat together and chatted for a while, and then went back to their houses to rest.
I went to bed early because I was too sleepy, and Liu Cheng sat at the table in the room, picked up a pen and started to write, and when I tossed and turned a few times and saw that he didn't sleep, I asked curiously, "Master, what are you writing?" ”
Liu Cheng didn't turn around, he held up a piece of paper in front of him, and the word 'chop' was written on it.
After that, I wanted to ask more, but Liu Cheng didn't speak anymore, I felt bored, so I turned over and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept this time, I suddenly heard a sound outside the window, opened my eyes to look, but saw a few people standing outside the window, holding a white horse in my hand and waving to me, those people are undoubtedly yin, I also recognize the white horse, I rode the white horse when I went to the land temple to try the case before, but Liu Cheng was not in the house at this time.
So I turned over and got out of bed and opened the door and went out, and these yin cha outside the door bowed to me and said, "Sun Shogunate, Lord Chenghuang asked me to ask you to go down and judge the case." ”
Lord Chenghuang is the land of Pingxiang before, and he has been promoted.
What do I think of myself, Lord Chenghuang can't handle it himself, and he still wants to ask me to judge the case? And Liu Cheng is here, Lord Chenghuang already knows Liu Cheng's identity, why don't you come and ask him to judge the case?
I think it's because Liu Cheng's status is too high, and Lord Chenghuang doesn't dare to trouble Liu Cheng, so he asked me to help, he also helped us a lot before, and I am still the shogunate of the City God Temple, and it is natural for him to come to me.
So I turned over and got on the white horse, and walked forward with these few bad people, and the surrounding environment changed greatly as I walked, and I asked, "What kind of case is it?" I need to help. ”
These few yin cha smiled and said, "You have to do this thing, there is a big man caught below, and others can't hurt that person even if they cut it with a knife or axe, saying that the person's life is too hard, and a person with the same hard life is needed to do it." ”
Where did I dare to kill, but I wondered who the man they had caught was, so I didn't say much and walked all the way.
Crossing the ghost gate, walking through the Huangquan Road, all the way to a strange place, there is about a few hundred square meters here, just above is a high platform, there is a black table case on the high platform, there is a plaque behind the table, there are four words written on it, there is also a person with a long beard, wearing a red robe, holding a long sword.
There is also a high platform in front of this table, on this high platform is kneeling a man with a cloak of hair, and next to him there is a yin cha standing with a big knife, obviously trying to cut off the head of the kneeling person, in addition, there are tables on the left and right sides, and there are many people sitting, but no one knows each other, and they don't see the city god.
When I went, I saw that the clouds were bleak, the demon wind was howling, and the field was so cold that I couldn't do it, so I got off the horse and asked the yin next to me, "Where is the city god?" ”
This Yin Cha said, "Lord Chenghuang is not here, but Master Zhong Kui is here. Yesterday night, a person broke into the Yin Division, took the Yin Division's life and death book, and wanted to be buried in the dragon's lair treasure to win the mandate of heaven and compete with the Dongyue Emperor, and was caught by us, and today he was beheaded to show the public, but all the eighteen weapons were used, and he was stunned to hurt the person for half a point, and then found a sign on the person, which said 'I'm only afraid of Sun Qing', so I invited you here. ”
I sound like this is too mysterious, I'm just an ordinary person, Huang Yunqiu can knock me over with one hand, who would be afraid of me? Besides, if he was really afraid of me, how could he leave a 'only afraid of Sun Qing' sign on his body.
I looked left and right, trying to find the trace of the City God, but I never found him, at this moment, the man behind the top table opened his mouth and said in a rough voice, "You are Sun Qing?" ”
I hummed, "I am." ”
I looked at this person, I always felt that I had seen it somewhere, and after thinking for a while, I remembered that Zhao Shide's house enshrined a portrait of the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui, and the person in front of him was exactly the same as the portrait, dressed in red, holding a magic sword, and wearing sideburns and beard.
Coupled with what Yin Cha said just now, I have already concluded that this person is the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui.
I nodded in agreement, and he took out a sign next to him and showed it to me, and it really said 'only afraid of Sun Qing', and then said, "This person is not afraid of others, only you, you go and behead him, I will be rewarded." ”
Without waiting for me to reply, the next Yin Cha pushed me up to the torture platform, and the man gave me the knife in his hand.
This knife looks like it weighs dozens of pounds, but when it comes to my hand, I feel light, like holding a chicken feather, and the rest of the people are amazed.
I held the knife and looked at it, I was stunned, the blade of this knife was written with the words 'Three Corpses Cold and Guangli', and the shape of the knife was exactly the same as what I saw in Zhang Duangong's house.
Holding the knife and looking down at the kneeling man, I only felt that his figure was a little familiar, so I squatted down, lifted his loose hair, looked at it, and almost scared me to sit back.
The person on the torture table was none other than Liu Cheng.
But in a trance, the figure of the kneeling person changed suddenly, and then looked, where was the kneeling person, it was a long-bearded five-clawed black dragon.
I was frightened by what I saw, and I hurriedly pinched myself, but I didn't wake myself up, indicating that this was not a dream, looking at the dragon on the torture table, and then looking at the guillotine knife in my hand, I quickly threw away the knife in my hand.
Now the guillotine knife I am holding in my hand is the one in Wang Duangong's house, and the heavenly master Zhong Kui sitting on it is the one on the statue of Zhao Shide's house, both of which are true, so the old dragon's severed head predicted by the knife man must also be true, the old dragon can only be Liu Cheng, otherwise who else can it be.
Besides, when I came down, it happened that Liu Cheng was not in the room, and they said that this person came to take the book of life and death yesterday, and Liu Cheng happened to be not in the Taoist temple the night before.
Seeing that I had dropped the guillotine, the man sitting on it frowned and said, "Pick it up!" ”
I stared at the long-bearded black dragon in front of me, but suddenly remembered the word 'chop' that Liu Cheng wrote on the paper before, could it be that Liu Cheng had long expected that they would come to me to kill the old dragon?
In addition, the brand of 'only afraid of Sun Qing' on his body, was it deliberately arranged by Liu Cheng?
After hesitating for a while, I bent down and picked up the guillotine on the ground and slashed at the old dragon in front of me.
