Chapter 144: Superstition 3
readx;? Although I didn't agree with all what Chu Chu said, once I realized that the Sino-Japanese war would never end, my mood immediately became heavy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In every war, it is only the civilian population that suffers the most. These people have neither the command of troops and weapons, nor the right to speak in national politics, so they can only wait for the end of the war, passively get involved, passively migrate, passively oppressed and suffered, linger in the dire straits, mourn and beg, and just want to live to see the end of the war.
"Enough. I stopped Chu Chu from continuing, "War is just a tool for some people to coronate and revel, if I am the strongest thaumaturist, my greatest wish is to end the fighting forever in the hands of our generation, extinguish the flame of war, and let Asia never again be full of guns and wars." In fact, whether we are the strongest thaumaturgists or not, this is what everyone is working towards. ”
Our Xia clan is a victim of the thaumaturgist war, if there is no "Divine Water Mirror", the eldest brother would not have been slaughtered, and now he must be like ordinary people, living happily under the "spring water of every house, every household weeping poplar" on Qushuiting Street.
"If you don't do it, I'll do it. The woman said grimly.
"Do what?" I stared at her coldly.
"Be the strongest thaumaturgist, be the master of this world......" The woman stepped forward, leaving the snake formation that was almost stacked on her shoulder.
In fact, the green snake is ferocious, and if she forcibly breaks out, she will only be buried in the belly of the snake. However, when she left, she was immediately left with an identical apparition behind her.
"Doppelganger technique!" Chu Chu immediately woke up, raised his breath, and blew the whistle to repel the snake twice.
"Doppelganger" is one of the supreme skills in Japanese ninjutsu, and is regarded as one of the "top ten famous ninjutsu" in the ninjutsu masterpiece "Wanchuan Jihai". This skill is divided into five realms, namely shadow, thunder, sand, leaves, and wind. Among them, shadow, thunder, sand, and leaves can only be regarded as low-level skills, and when they cultivate to the "Wind Doppelganger Technique", it is impossible to distinguish between people and clones, people are clones, and clones are people.
I only need to give an example to easily illustrate that in the four famous Chinese novels "Journey to the West", it was described that Sun Wukong has the technique of "transformation into a hair", and he can become another self when he plucks his roots and blows his hair. In some special cases, he can also turn a hairy body into a real body, and the real body can be transformed into a hairy body and disappear with the wind. It can be said that the two books "Journey to the West" and "Wanchuan Jihai" have similarities, both of which are accurate descriptions of their own thaumaturgists. It's just that in China, "Journey to the West" is called "superstition", while in Japan, "Wanchuan Jihai" has become a highly respected classic in the history of ninjutsu.
It can be seen from this that "superstition" or "science" is only between the thoughts of public opinion, the people, and those in power.
This thought alone can send him to hell or to heaven.
Whistled together, the snake array immediately moved in parallel, chasing the real body of the woman who suddenly escaped out of the circle.
I saw the clue in time, and immediately reminded Chu Chu: "It's not a doppelganger technique, don't act rashly-"
Of course, what I said was not entirely correct, because the woman did use the doppelganger technique, but it was not a simple split into two and went to separate things, but a clever way to divide and merge as she pleased. She created a moving "self" and let Chu Chu drive the snake formation to pursue, but her true body remained motionless, still leaning against the door frame, just at the boundary between the inside and outside of the ground spring door.
As soon as the snake array moved, she did not move, and she was safely freed.
If the snake formation does not move, she can escape far away with her clone, so that Chu Chu can't catch up.
In this case, no matter what Chu Chu did, he couldn't trap the other party.
The snake array was in chaos, and the woman flashed, and then retreated outside the ground spring door.
"Sang Qinghong, you are Sang Qinghong!" When the other party flashed, I got inspiration from the proud and contemptuous expression on her face, and the Sang Qinghong in my heart and the woman I saw in front of me immediately became one.
Many times, Sang Qinghong gives me the feeling of being a demigod looking down on the world from the clouds.
Her knowledge and skill were far superior to those of her contemporaries, so she disdained to fight face-to-face with others for the most part, sword-to-knife and gun-to-gun, and always adopted the light technique of wearing flowers and butterflies.
For such a "person", it is no longer lethal to use ordinary thaumaturgical techniques to deal with her.
"You're right...... woman's voice floated from afar, "if you don't get in, this battle will never really begin, and it will never really end." ”
This sentence reminds me of the "stand-in bureau" she once laid out.
"What is her intention in trying to lure me into the game? I have been involved in the battle of thaumaturgists, is this not considered to be an entry game? What kind of game is the game she wants me to enter? What role does Sang Qinghong play in this battle of thaumaturgists? What is its ultimate purpose?" I was troubled by a series of questions, and vaguely felt that Sang Qinghong was hiding a bigger and more terrible secret.
Sang Qinghong left, and the clone chased by the snake array also disappeared, leaving no trace.
The snake formation suddenly messed up, all crashing together, tearing and biting each other angrily, and even Chu Chu's whistle could not be stopped.
When I looked back, Chu Chu's cheeks had turned red as blood, and the whistle was intermittent, which showed that it was the end of the crossbow.
"Chu Chu, stop. I put my arm around her.
She shook her head at the whistle and leaned over me.
The bite of the green snake became more and more frenzied, forming a tumbling "snake ball" in the center of the hall. Hundreds of snakes roared together, and the terrifying "hiss" sound became louder and louder.
I suddenly realized that there was a problem, which was also the situation that Gu alchemists feared the most - "Devouring the Lord".
Normally, Gu alchemists have the ability to control Gu worms, and their relationship with Gu worms is an absolute state of "countering violence with violence and pressing with force". Once the Gu Refiner has a situation of mental decline and weak momentum, then the Gu worms that have been forcibly suppressed will immediately rebel, first "backing up their master", and then "birds and beasts scattering", becoming a "wild Gu" that will bring disaster to the world.
In the history of Miaojiang, there are many examples of Gu insects "devouring the master".
In recent years, the images of "alien beasts, alien shapes, and alien species" in film and television works are almost all born from the legends of various "wild Gu". As long as you use your brain, you can guess that after the wild Gu is freed from the suppression of the Gu refiner, it will definitely sneak into the inaccessible mountains and rivers, frantically draw nutrients from nature, and then grow wildly until it is impossible to hide its whereabouts.
The way of heaven is circulating, and things and people are reasonable.
Gu alchemists use some very cruel means to raise Gu worms to meet the various purposes they want. Gaining and losing go hand in hand, and as much as you gain, you have to lose accordingly.
"Devouring the Lord" is the antonym of "Gu Refining".
"Big brother, lie behind me, no matter what happens...... Don't be reckless. Chu Chu stopped whistling, covered his throat with his left hand, and pressed his chest with his right hand.
Blood was dripping from the corners of both of her mouth, and her whole face was red and white, which was extremely ugly.
"Let's go, go back!" I whispered to her.
"It's too late, the green snake devours the lord, and goodbye to the big brother. Chu Chu replied with a smile, "Big brother, no matter what happens to me, you have to be good and keep going." I know that you will be the best thaumaturgist in the future, the king of thaumaturgy. It's a pity I didn't get to see that day with my own eyes, and it's a pity that I couldn't do more for you......"
Her smile was calm and cold, like a person who knew she was going to die and was giving her last words.
I pressed the elevator button with my backhand, but the elevator door didn't open for a long time.
"Big brother, I love you. Chu Chu stood on tiptoe and kissed me lightly on the lips.
There was an extremely strong bloody aura in that kiss, as well as a slight body temperature and virgin fragrance on Chu Chu's lips.
The result of the Gu worm devouring master was extremely terrifying, I couldn't imagine that the beautiful and gentle Chu Chu would be buried in the belly of the snake, but all this would definitely be born, just like the person who had been killed by the Miao Jiang Gu Refiner before would definitely die a terrifying and tragic death.
The elevator door was still not open, but the rolling of the snake formation had stopped, so the green snakes who had survived the cannibalism lined up horizontally, and the snake's heads were all aimed at Chu Chu.
"Big brother, if something happens, don't try to save me. If you have a chance to escape, you should leave quickly, and if you can't go, turn your back, blindfold and plug your ears. We...... Goodbye forever......" Chu Chu told me in the gentlest voice.
"Isn't there a way? why don't we rush out through the reed door—" I proposed.
As if in response to my words, the woman who had just left burst in through the reed door, which closed and locked automatically with a "click".
"If you watch a good show, naturally you can see it clearly if you get closer. She stared at me with a smile and took a few steps back, standing at the farthest end of the hall.
Chu Chu and I took the elevator down, originally to chase and kill the old man with the umbrella and avenge the bloody gall Gu woman, but who knew that the evil was not exhausted, but we were trapped in a dangerous trap.
Chu Chu took three steps forward, blocking between me and the snake formation.
"Life and death part, fate is impermanent. I can't bear to look at it, I didn't expect you to kill someone with a Gu worm just now, and you were killed by a Gu worm in the blink of an eye. It seems that the side effects of Miao Jiang's witchcraft are really too great, and they are too far away from the true thaumaturgical supreme. I just think it's strange now, you can be regarded as the best among the Miao Jiang Gu Alchemists, how can your level be so poor, not even one ten-thousandth of the Great Gu Refiner Jade Rakshasa back then? It's a pity, it's a pity, there are too many people who sell their fame and reputation in modern times, and they don't have real talent and real learning. If this kind of Gu worm devouring master show was to be seen by the Jade Rakshasa, would she be very sad—sad that there would be no Gu refiner in Miao Jiang since her?" The woman understated and sneered.
In modern history, the Jade Rakshasa is indeed the highest peak of Miaojiang's witchcraft technique, there is no ancient, no one will come after, peerless and independent.
When Western medicine and Western medicine developed rapidly, traditional Gu art and witch medicine were quickly replaced. Western medicine is becoming more and more powerful, while Gu art is losing its momentum. For example, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory injections can defeat most Gu techniques, while blood exchange, skin exchange, and organ exchange make Gu tricks stretched, and when it comes to advanced technologies such as chest X-ray, light transmission, and nuclear magnetic resonance, they have overwhelmingly defeated Gu techniques and can see the human body inside and out clearly.
Because of this, Miao Jiang's witchcraft is declining day by day.
The Jade Rakshasa should be in the "Mirror Room", but if she doesn't show up, no one can find her.
"There is an end to any thaumaturgy, and I believe that the same is true of Japanese ninjutsu. This is the inevitable result of the progress of the times, and I don't dwell on it. However, you should not think that no one can see through your ambitions, in fact, the smart people in the world will never stand out, they will always restrain and cancel each other out, this is the balancing art that God has imposed on the human world. Do you think that trapping us will force the Jade Rakshasa to appear? Do you think that destroying the Jade Rakshasa will lift the power of the curse on the 'Wu no Snow Wind'? Do you think that once the curse is removed, Japan will become the world's largest power...... All I can tell you is that you couldn't be more wrong. In the eyes of Jade Rakshasa, you are just a clown who jumps off the beam, testing her patience over and over again with these tricks that simply cannot work. I just said, you can't succeed, these mind alchemists can see through it at a glance, hurry up and put it away, lest you lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot. Chu Chu said.
I also thought that the woman must have a special purpose when she came back a second time after breaking away from the attack of the snake formation.
Chu Chu said very reasonably, the other party did this, the target was not the two of us, but the jade rakshasa hidden in the "mirror room". Moreover, what the woman planned was to kill the Jade Rakshasa and relieve the curse of Miao Jiang and save Japan's national fortunes.
From this, I gradually guessed the identity of the woman - not the name she used "Sang Qinghong", but her real identity. It is highly likely that she is a princess with the surname of the Japanese Imperial Family, who is wandering due to palace infighting and is not allowed to enter the royal roster.
Japan is a country under the leadership of the imperial family, and every member of the imperial family regards this country as their "home" and has received theoretical education in loving the country and family since childhood. Perhaps, only when the country is regarded as one's own, will one try in every possible way and do all its strength to fight for it, the country is in the people, the family is in the people, only know how to cultivate, regardless of the harvest, and do not count any remuneration.
There have long been precedents for the Japanese imperial family to fall into the private sector, some of them have been in a state of collapse and have been ruined for a lifetime, while others have worked hard to become self-reliant, and finally returned to the imperial family and achieved a brilliant life.
"You guessed it, it looks like I'm going to have to give you some reward. Why don't you do this, when you are unrecognizable in the snake formation, I will take a picture and send it to the major Japanese media, and put a big picture on the news page tomorrow and mark it with a big word title -- this is the final result of the confrontation with the Japanese thaumaturgists. The woman said.
With a ding, the elevator door behind me suddenly opened.
When Chu Chu and I got out of the elevator before, the Blood Gall Gu Po was still lying in a pool of blood. If there was no one to help, she should still be in it at this moment.
"Let's go, let's go!" I didn't look back, dragging Chu Chu and retreating to the elevator.
The snake array moved suddenly, and each green snake was like an arrow off the string, shooting towards Chu Chu.
He stretched out his arms to cover me as much as possible.
She has forgotten her life and death, and she has done her best to protect my life.
In this case, there is nothing we can do. In the face of hundreds of poisonous snakes without any cover, even if we can retreat into the elevator within ten steps, the snake formation will follow closely and pour into the car with us. In that case, the two of us still have no way to live.
The woman on the other side laughed, and seemed to have the attitude of "watching a good show".
"Pap, papa, pap", six crisp sounds in a row, the green snake that rushed to the front suddenly exploded, and the shattered body affected the same kind next to it, giving birth to a large-scale chain explosion, at least forty snakes died in this accidental explosion and fell.
A huge force suddenly surged from behind me, separating me and Chu Chu left and right at once.
Immediately, an old woman covered in blood passed between me and Chu Chu, directly facing the restless snake array.
She is a Blood and Gall Gu Woman, a person who should have died a long time ago.
The Blood Gall Gu Po strode towards the snake formation, and the green snakes spat out snake letters, but they didn't dare to rush up first.
"You, it's time for us to settle the score. The Blood Gall Gu Po pointed to the woman opposite.
The woman didn't expect this, she was slightly stunned, the Blood Gall Gu Po had already stepped through the snake formation and strode closer to the other party.
I have seen the Blood Gall Gu Po several times, and I have carefully observed her back, and even her walking posture on different occasions is very well understood. Now, this old woman who is moving forward is definitely not her, but a person who is different from the Blood Gut Gu Po on the outside and on the inside. However, the only thing that is certain is that now she is no longer bleeding on her body, but the bloody clothes have not had time to be changed, and there is a faint green light all over her body, which looks extremely terrifying.
