Chapter 8: The Rain of the Dragon King (7)
[Punishment and lightning (3)]
When she heard the envoy's announcement, Cedar did feel a strong sense of unease.
(It's good that Mr. He is here...... He couldn't help but think so. But he immediately made up his mind that he must support the situation with the emperor.
His vacillation was seen by the envoys. The envoy smiled helplessly and sarcastically, and responded flatly: "That's right, the existence of the Black Temple has become a terrible danger, in this demon king capital, there are so many people who have pinned their ugly wishes on the nine murderers, raising the darkness that envelops the whole city, and who can I punish? I can't do anything about the sins of this group." β
"That's what you're talking about? You're Bai Ze, as a god envoy, you can just do nothing?" Shantong said coldly, "We want to struggle, and we will be embarrassed if you do this." β
The envoy just smiled and didn't speak, seeing this situation, Cedar couldn't help but speak: "Shang Bai Ze, about that rune paper, I hope you can tell me about the research situation." β
"No clue. The envoy responded unusually plainly and crisply.
"Ahh β
It's Jean. Behind the briskly cat-eyed young man are Akiyin Kamibai Ze, Carlos Lu, and He Yanfang.
"Senior Jean, Mr. He......" While feeling ashamed, he also became steady, and Cedar secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I've found some of the rune paper," Jean looked at the envoy with a smile and patted Carlos on the shoulder, "Lord Yufeng, it's still necessary to work together, the patterns and words on the rune paper are all mysterious, and the stupid deer has already deciphered it." β
"Occult?" the envoy's eyes widened in surprise.
"You're going to have to pay me some wages, Shang Bai Ze," Carlos raised his head handsomely, and after jokingly speaking, his expression became rare serious, "This is really an extremely complicated Gu." β
"Gu?"
"That's right, the real murderer was so calculated from the beginning, because it was fundamentally impossible to summon the nine murderers of Yan Ying, so the accumulated malice and desire will breed countless evil things that come from evil thoughts, of course, the increase of evil power has indeed allowed everyone to use the evil demons, so the murder happened. The Black Shrine object does not need to reveal its true form, and it doesn't matter who can achieve the goal, so everyone acquiesces to this kind of thing. β
After listening to this, the envoy laughed out loud: "Lu Jun, your explanation is as rough as yourself, I have to ask first, you can't summon Yan Ying's nine murderers at the root, do you have any basis for this?"
"The nine murderers died in Chang'an, and what Shantong's predecessors sealed was only a mound of clothes, and they couldn't summon resentful spirits across the white world. β
"As far as I know, the ghost boy died again in the white world, and if nothing else, he may be able to summon it. β
"The soul that has died twice and become incomplete is precisely because it is so complicated that it is impossible to summon him. He Yanfang quietly gave the prospective brother-in-law a dismissal.
The envoy glanced at him, and continued to smile and question: "Let's not mention this first, the demon kings are all elites, what can that kind of nourished imp do? It can only scare people, right?"
Carlos shook his fingers, a fierce look appeared on his faint smiling face, and his gaze was extremely calm and sharp: "Are they really unable to do anything? Due to the restrictions of the law, it is impossible for them to really kill them, but their mental influence is enough to make the strong people mess with themselvesβit's right that they fell into the water by themselves?"
The envoy looked at the cedar again, but said nothing.
After a brief moment of silence, Jean spoke steadily: "The uneasiness that spreads everywhere only needs a little flame to start a fire." This matter can no longer be characterized as a black shrine, after all, the gods of the black shrine are just not in the ceremony, and not all of them are evildoers. I think this is a vicious witchcraft plot, and countless sΓ©ance rituals have finally shrouded the entire city in the darkness where evil things lurk, and everyone has been used by the real murderer. Even Yama Tong's predecessor's memory exploration technique, 'Twilight of the Eyes', could only get a large list of cursed targets, and he couldn't touch the truth at all. β
"Even so, if countless sΓ©ances could have caused this situation, why use such a roundabout method? It is not difficult for this kind of thing to be detected, and it is difficult to achieve the desired goal, right?" the envoy seemed unwilling to admit the establishment of this event.
"Then it depends on what the purpose of the real murderer is, and we can't speculate, but there is no doubt that this is Gu poison. Carlos said meaningfully, and then took out the rune paper and shook it gently.
"I have a question, senior, what is Gu poison?"
"There are several ways to say the so-called Gu, but when it comes to Gu magic, it refers to the last poisonous insect left after gathering many poisonous insects together and letting them devour each other and kill each other," Shan Tong's indifferent tone faintly revealed anger, "In the same way, the demons who were enslaved in the sΓ©ance ceremony will also devour each other in the demon king's capital, and finally leave the most powerful one, that is, what the real murderer wants." It's annoying that these guys are running rampant around me, and I can't stop them all. β
"If that's the case, the real murderer is trying to raise a powerful envoy spirit, and what is the goal of 'it' trying to achieve by going to great lengths to do something that may fail?"
"Gu is raised to kill people, and the real murderer probably wants to kill the target without soiling his hands like everyone else, but his target is more tricky. β
"Of course, there is also the possibility that it was to disrupt the indiscriminate killing carried out through the courtyard, and there is also the possibility of both, of course, the latter is more in line with the insidious idea of the Empress of the Sky and the Black Water Queen's 'layout on the premise of failure'. β
The envoy chuckled, "It's not vague like this, right?"
Carlos smiled at him: "So I'm betting on the one who kills the target." β
"What is your basis?"
"That's what I'm capable of," Carlos shook the rune paper in his hand, his eyes sharpened, "The pattern on the rune paper is the text and seal of the Xuan World, so in essence, it is useless for those who cast the spell to write down other spell killing targets, because the name of the same person has already been written on the rune paper." β
"How vicious is this!, and after sacrificing so many lives, who does the murderer want to kill in the end?" asked Cedar indignantly.
Jean sarcastically hooked the corners of his mouth: "The real murderer can't harm on the surface, and he can't fight in the dark." β
After a moment of silence, He Yanfang responded indifferently: "It's me." β
"Ah......" Cedar couldn't help but exclaim, "then you have been unwell all this time because of this curse?"
"That's one of the reasons," He Yanfang didn't care too much, "It doesn't matter to me, I can't be invincible to this method, and the real murderer just wants to weaken my strength." I think the real purpose of all this is to destroy the Demon King Capital and the Meridian Academy, after all, the tricky thing in the end is the 'backlash'. β
"Backlash?"
"Harming others will end up harming oneself, the curse is such a spell," seeing Cedar's expression, Shantong sighed softly, "Gu is raised, if you don't feed it, it will eat the breeder, and if it succeeds, it will also make the owner pay the price." β
Hearing this, Cedar's eyes widened in horror: "That-"
"Yes, everyone who unknowingly assists the real culprit in cursing the rock fang will die. After Shantong finished speaking coldly, he looked at He Yanfang again, "This spell is very difficult to crack, it can neither be forcibly terminated nor allowed to develop, what should we do?"
"Now that the sΓ©ance ritual has been banned, it is up to us to destroy the out-of-control demons one by one, and that's the only way to do it. He Yanfang looked at the envoy and said slowly.
"Judging from the breath of the whole city, we can't do it one by one, it's impossible to do it. When we are exhausted by the aftermath of some people's mistakes, the Demon King may take action. The envoy no longer put on an attitude of staying out of the matter, but he still refused to let go, "You should have the courage to bear your own mistakes, and with our strength, it is wisest to wait until the last moment to eliminate that 'Gu'." β
"Kamibai Ze, although the people who cast the curse on this matter are wrong, they are all unknowingly assisting in the curse killing scam, we can't do this!"
"Qutang is noisy and twelve beaches, and people say that the road is difficult in ancient times. Long hatred is not as good as water, waiting for the waves on the flat ground. (Note 1) "The edict chanted slowly, his eyes indifferent, "What an ugly man-made disaster this is, 'If you want to curse others, you must dig two holes' This principle should always be understood, and if you can make up your mind to harm others, you should have a disaster to prolong your own consciousness, otherwise you should also be worthy of a curse?"
"Brother, I can't agree with it until now!" Mingyin, who had been just listening, couldn't help but speak, "The real murderer can be unkind, but we can't! Since we already know that creating **** is the enemy's purpose, we can't let **** develop!"
The envoy put on a helpless wry smile: "No matter what we do, the result can't be avoided ****, right?"
"That's right, because this is such a deliberate Gu poison," Jean smiled coldly, "Yaoyao manipulates the chess pieces that can multiply on their own, and sits in the center of the **** to enjoy the results, what a clever spider, the Empress of the Sky and the Black Water Hime." β
"So there's no need to spend it, just wait until the end. The envoy smiled again, and raised his hand in the same way, "This is a desperate backwater, and the breeze can't blow the slightest ripple." It's better to throw more broken copper and iron, and splash your leftovers. Maybe the copper ones will turn green into jade, and the iron cans will rust out a few peach blossoms. β
Listening to his exaggerated chanting in the storm, Cedar suddenly felt a chill penetrate into his bone marrow.
No, it shouldn't be like this......
"Let the greasy weave a layer of Luo Qi, and the mold will steam out some clouds for him. Let the stagnant water ferment into a ditch of green wine, full of pearl-like white foam, and the small bead laughs and turns into a big pearl, and is bitten by the flower mosquito that steals the wine. Then a ditch of desperate stagnant water can be boasted a little vividly. (Note 2) "The voice of the envoy in the dull thunder was so clear that it was like a curse.
"The_mill_of_God_grind_slowly, but_they_grind_exceeding_small. (God's mill is slow, but one day it will be your turn/Skynet is restored, negligent but not leaky)" Rebecca's calm voice then sounded, whether it was because of her words or because of the blazing electric light, and a cold light flashed in the smiling eyes of the envoy.
"I'm an outsider, so I'd like to say a few arrogant words," Rebecca finished taking her notes and looked up at the envoy with a smile, "It's not the act of a wise man to let it go when she knows it's a conspiracy. And if you do that, you only have one chance, and if things get out of hand, it's irreparable. In my opinion, because we know the dangers of the road, we will not be hurt again. If you have done something wrong, correct it, Your Excellency. β
"Words are always easier than deeds, Miss Bass. β
"Mr. He, we Heavenly Punishers should have an authoritative statement, and I think everyone wants to hear your opinion. Rebecca snorted, then turned her head.
Cedar silently stared at the envoy and He Yanfang, and now the two men were facing each other as in his dream.
"I know I don't have the power to decide anything, but I still have to say, correct all this," He Yanfang sighed lightly, "This incident has been a collective disaster since it happened, and it is impossible to care which part of the people should bear it, those who make mistakes should realize their mistakes, and those who do not participate should also fight for the collective and themselves, to realize the root cause of this opportunity for the enemy." β
After listening quietly, the envoy nodded slightly: "Since you have said so, then do so." β
I was relieved...... This surprised Cedar a little.
"I don't want to be seen as unkind," the envoy said, looking around, "and it's time to put things in order, through the shadows hidden under the orderly framework of the courtyard." β
"That's right, I'm slacking, because I'm different from Yu Xuan, and I don't like you. He just plainly revealed his thoughts, "I didn't like it from the beginning." Why did this intricate conspiracy take place? Just look at the logo of the Passage House, right?"
β...... "Cedar replied in confusion.
"That's right, a Chinese knot that is intertwined, with sharp spears on the top and left, in the final analysis, it is just a murderous intention, but holding a blade of grass to cover it up. 'Fear' is placed in the center of the knot, so what is 'sorrow'? Breaking it apart is nothing more than 'mental art'. The envoy hooked the corners of his mouth, and the rising shadow was filled with a cold sneer.
"That's a bit too much, on Bai Ze. He Yanfang didn't want to argue, but pointed out lightly, "Next, what measures are you going to take?"
"Everyone here has agreed to do everything in their power to sweep away the demons, right?" the envoy scanned the audience again, "Then let's do it, show your determination to expose your own scars, I think it can be done." β
"Lockdown the city! Just clear the poison in this impregnable city, we!" His awe-inspiring posture was enough to suppress all discontent, and even the roaring thunder seemed weak.
He looked out, the rain that swept through the streets was still raging, and the wave-like lines swept through everything in the dim city.
"Because it's your own scar, it's not a chance, isn't it?" he muttered to himself, and suddenly raised his hand again, "Endless rain of dragon kings, if you can, wash away all these sins!"
ββ
Notice:
Bloody from the Xiao Wall, a blockade and a death match called the Purge, the silent wall oozes blood and tears in the wind and rain, and the dark secrets of the Thousand Autumn Seal are about to be exposed with the rift.
"The envoy's words make you feel uneasy, right?"
"But the truth is dark, this city originally existed to seal dark secrets. β
"The reason why I will be conniving is because I have a weak heart. β
"The structure itself is an impregnable cage in which we are merely sacrifices. β
"This layer of walls has to be broken. β
The scourge is like fate that has been entangled for thousands of years, what is the imprisoned wall, and where does the evil thoughts that grow slowly grow in the masonry come from?
"The Saint Soldier is a murder weapon, and he has to use it as a last resort. - "Liutao"
