Chapter 174: Old Mansion Killing Machine 3
readx;? Personally, what my grandfather left behind has brought me more and more surprises. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
First, there was the "art of burying things", and now there is the "eye-eating Buddha", each of which is an untold secret in the thaumaturgical world. Even if you have one of them, you can stand in the thaumaturgical world.
Because of this, I am truly proud to be a descendant of the Xia clan.
"Sure enough, it's the 'Eye-Eating Buddha', I, Xue Donglai, ...... No regrets...... Xue Dong saw the painting on the inner wall of the altar clearly, turned the altar again, looked at the eye engraved at the bottom of the altar, and finally looked up to the sky in despair, and let out a helpless sigh.
When he killed the ghost bodhisattva in the "Mirror Room" that day, he probably didn't expect to be retributed soon, and it would be so tragic and cruel.
"Boy, are you pretending to be incompetent in the 'Mirror Room'? I underestimated you, I was too careless...... I was deceived by you, hehe, hehe...... I really deserve to die, Master said, never despise the people of the Xia family, otherwise you will definitely pay the price, sure enough, sure enough...... Xue Donglai did not die immediately, because even if he broke off an arm, he could still support it for a long time, and he would not die on the spot.
The key now is whether he has the courage to die.
"Tell me, how can I help you?" I said.
As the owner of the Xia family's old mansion, it is my obligation to give him a ride at the end.
Xue Donglai shook his head and looked up blankly.
"Really, I'll call an ambulance for you?" I asked.
"It's useless, it's useless. He muttered, not even looking at me.
It has been said in the classics that the most bizarre thing about the thaumaturgy of "Eye-eating Buddha" is that once the saw-blade-like gnashing unfolds, it will not stop halfway, and it will definitely eat a person's flesh and skin completely before it stops. At the end of the day, a large living person will have only bones, tendons, and internal organs, but still remain in a strange state of "living".
This kind of "living" is the word "Buddha" in the three words "Eye-eating Buddha", which means "Buddhism is compassionate and does not take life".
Although it is the word "Buddha", it reveals the most terrifying cruelty of this thaumaturgy.
At present, even if I send Xue Donglai to the hospital immediately and take the most advanced surgical bandaging and sterilization injections, I will not be able to save him at all. Because, soon, the rest of his body will have a new phenomenon of flesh and skin, until within three days and three nights, all the flesh and skin will be lost.
It turned out that the sentence engraved by the grandfather at the bottom of the altar had already explained the existence of the "Eye-eating Buddha".
Xue Donglai was too arrogant, or his thaumaturgical level was not high enough, so he didn't understand his grandfather's warning. In that case, he really deserves to die.
"There's only one thing I regret right now, and that's that I didn't kill you in the 'Mirror Room'. Now, it's too late, and my dream will never come true...... When I was dying, I suddenly understood what a person should pursue in his life, and if he didn't step into thaumaturgy, at least I could live peacefully and ordinarily until I was old, and be a good son, a good student, and a good husband...... Now, I'm ...... everything No, nothing, not even life, this is really a very failed life......" Xue Donglai looked at the night sky, his voice as empty as sleepwalking.
His words suddenly touched my heart, and my disgust for him gradually subsided, and in my place, there was endless pity and, of course, self-pity for me personally.
The world of thaumaturgists is varied, because the most ambitious goal of those who step into this profession is always to become the "king of thaumaturgy", that is, the supreme thaumaturgical of the four seas.
Reaching such a state can not only affect the rise and fall of a person, a city, or a country, but also affect the ups and downs of the whole world and the whole universe.
With that superpower, he is equivalent to the king of the universe and the king of heaven and earth, and there is a striking resemblance to what the Buddha said when he was born, "Heaven and earth, I am the only one."
At that time, the king of thaumaturgy was the almighty Buddha and the true ruler of the world.
A mortal could not resist such a temptation, and that temptation far exceeded all the temptations of the red earthly world combined.
It's good to have a dream, but this road to chasing dreams is crowded with competitors, and in the end, it is only one in a million that can stand out. There are too many people who come with dreams but cannot be among the super-first-class masters in their lifetime. This considerable group of people has become depressed and unhappy for life.
For these people, thaumaturgy is the culprit that destroyed their lives.
Xue Donglai's wheezing voice became weaker and weaker, I couldn't help it, took out the phone, and prepared to dial 110 to call the police.
I had just pressed the first number when suddenly a huge suction force hit me, and the phone flew out of my hand and fell into the hands of the person who had just walked in through the door.
It was also an acquaintance, the man in the navy blue suit who appeared in the old library of Shanda.
He tossed it and the phone was back in my hand, but it was turned off.
"Don't call the police, this is a battle between thaumaturgists, try not to involve official people, if there is any problem, we can solve it in private. Isn't it?" he said.
Now I know very well that he is Zhao Tianzi, the head of the "Zhao Wang Society".
Seeing him striding in, Xue Donglai's ** voice completely stopped.
"Okay, how can I solve it Mr. Zhao?" I asked.
"Now, he must die, and I will bury him. Second, that's the end of tonight's business, don't talk nonsense. Zhao Tianzi said lightly.
Like Xue Donglai, his expression is also like looking at the world, and even more so than Xue Donglai. Perhaps, the temperament of their master and apprentice is so arrogant that it is completely different from the others.
"Good. I nodded in agreement.
Qushuiting Street is a quiet place, and if you make a loud noise again, it will inevitably alarm the old neighbors, and the police will also come and cause big trouble.
"Can you still go?" Zhao Tianzi leaned over to Xue Donglai and asked.
"Master...... Kill me...... Kill me......" Xue Donglai's voice was as subtle as a mosquito humming.
"I know I should help you relieve your pain, but I can't bear to let your Xue brothers die in Jinan in the battle of the 'Mirror Room'. It's not easy for Master to train you, maybe you shouldn't come here this time!" Zhao Tianzi sighed.
"I don't blame Master...... It's because I'm not good at learning and I'm reckless...... looked down on the Xia family...... Master, kill me, I'm dying of pain......" Xue Donglai rolled with difficulty, stretched out his left arm and "right arm", and hugged Zhao Tianzi's ankle.
Zhao Tianzi slowly turned his head and stared at my face.
I don't have any self-reproach apologies, because the rivers and lakes are like this, either I kill you or you kill me. If Grandpa hadn't left the "Eye-Eating Buddha" in the jar, I would have been killed tonight, and no one would blame themselves for it, which would only make this matter an unsolved case for the police to scratch their heads.
"Both of my disciples died because of you, and this matter can't just be over. Zhao Tianzi said.
I smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhao, you must know that I have no choice but to do so." Before you came, the Orderers had the upper hand, and I had no power to fight back. He killed himself, and no one could save him. ”
Zhao Tianzi nodded: "This is the rivers and lakes, I believe that everyone will meet again in the future." ”
In the face of him, my heart was full of anger and helplessness. He killed Ming Qianying, and I was powerless to avenge Ming Qianying, so I could only watch him come and go, go and come again.
He looked up at the rooftops on all sides, and my gaze followed his.
The big cats and the flocks of cats had long been frightened away by his compelling momentum, and the roofs were empty on all sides, except for the artemisia grass that gently swayed with the night wind.
"You have a good grandfather, and you are also a good material for cultivating thaumaturgy, but creation makes people, and the thaumaturgy possessed by the Xia clan has actually been broken here. This is probably fate, the general trend of the world, people are not as good as the sky, and the sky is not as good as the fortune chart. If you want to find another famous teacher, come to me. In the past, there were seven heroes of the Warring States in the world, although my Zhao State ranked fifth, its strength was much higher than that of the other six countries, but it was a pity that there were no heroes at the time, so he made the erector famous, blindly adventurous, and the national fortune fell from then on, and became the minister of the crotch of the Qin State. That history is very similar to the dilemma you are facing now. Tianshi, when you can't get along, look for me. Don't worry, in Jinan in the future, I will arrange to cover you with eyebrows. Zhao Tianzi said.
I don't need to be brow-raising, because a master like him has no intention of caring for a person who has no use value.
"I'm very good, the descendants of the Xia family don't need to be taken care of by others, they can get very good, thank you. "I politely declined Zhao Tianzi.
Maybe many people will feel honored to be a disciple of Zhao Tianzi, but I have no such intentions.
Zhao Tianzi's gaze moved downward, looked into the north house, and threw himself at the location of the ice coffin.
Ming Qianying was killed by him, but there was no guilt on his face at the moment.
"Tianshi, what do you mean by bringing that Rikou Illusionist here?" he asked.
I shook my head, escorting Ming Chizakura back to Japan was a personal agreement between me and her, and there was no need to reveal it to outsiders.
"You, you, you, too young, too gullible. You must know that Chinese and Japanese thaumaturgists will always be incompatible, they can only become enemies, and they will never become friends. This situation is determined by the fate of the great powers, and the pattern has been set long before the formation of the cosmic famine. That sea is an insurmountable chasm, just like the Chu River and Han Realm in the past, the two sides can only be enemies for life. You can't change the nature of Chinese thaumaturgists, and illusionists are only willing to serve the Japanese royal family, which is their nature. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. No matter how much you do for the Illusionist Sect, what you end up with is just a deadly wolf kiss. Zhao Tianzi sighed.
I didn't refute him, after all, it was me who promised Ming Qianying, not him.
"Can't I change your mind after I say so much?" Zhao Tianzi asked again.
I shook my head: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kind words and persuasion, but everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it." Whether I'm an ordinary person or a thaumaturgist, in this age of the twenty-first century, all kinds of old rules are always changing. If a person or an industry remains unchanged, it will only be washed away by the tide of history. The descendants of the Xia family have their own ancestral teachings and their own paths to take in the future. Please, take Xue Dong with you, we'll have a date later. ”
The other party said a lot, and I quickly expressed my attitude towards each of his views.
As a descendant of the Xia family, I don't need others to tell me what to do. If I didn't want to help Ming Qianying, then I wouldn't have promised her in the old picture of Shanda.
In the past, Guan Erye rode alone for thousands of miles, escorting the two sisters-in-law to find Uncle Liu Huang, and went through many difficulties and dangers all the way, just for a dignified and upright word "righteousness". As far as I'm concerned, Ji Bu Yinuo weighs more than a thousand gold. Since I have already promised in front of Ming Qianying, I will definitely do it, send her body back to Japan, and not change my original intention for Zhao Tianzi's advice.
"Tianshi, don't be too stubborn?" Zhao Tianzi's face sank.
He stared at the ice coffin from a distance for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly walked towards the north room.
I was very alert and immediately opened my arms and made a blocking motion.
"Mr. Zhao, please stop. I whispered.
"Oh, you're afraid I'll go in and disadvantage the Japanese illusionist? Don't worry, I'm just going to take another look. She's a dead person, are dead people still afraid to look at it?" Zhao Tianzi laughed gloomily.
I shook my head: "Yes, just because she is already a dead person, it is disrespectful to a dead person to disturb her frequently." In a thousand things, the dead are greater, right?"
Zhao Tianzi also shook his head: "Tianshi, you are wrong. You're still too young to understand how insidious illusionists can be. That kind of thaumaturgist school can conjure up a variety of different scenery and environments, and is good at creating something out of nothing and hiding from the world. You say she's dead, but she's not really dead, maybe she's just conjuring up the illusion of death and keeping you in the dark. Now, I'll go in and open the ice coffin to check it out, and confirm that she's really dead, and I'll eliminate the hidden danger for you. Isn't that better for everyone?"
I shook my head resolutely: "Mr. Zhao, please respect yourself." She died at your hands, and you know best whether she is dead or not. ”
Zhao Tianzi sneered: "Hehe, hehe, the person I killed, what does it matter if I identify it again?"
I didn't give an inch, but Zhao Tianzi walked forward slowly, and before his body made contact with my arm, the potential dark energy exuded from his body was already surging, wrapping around my arm and pushing me to the side.
I knew that I couldn't resist Zhao Tianzi's entry into the house, but I still refused to give up, retreated diagonally, and entered the north house first.
The lights in the house were on, and it was naturally Xue Donglai's light.
He sneaked in when I went to Sha's house next door, and probably searched up and down, and finally found nothing, so he went to check the jar, and finally suffered from the "eye eating Buddha".
The light shot out from the door frame, shining on the oncoming Zhao Tianzi, and also on Xue Donglai, who was lying behind Zhao Tianzi.
Xue Donglai was covered in blood, wriggling and struggling in the dirt, like a thin snake that had been cut off by seven inches.
This is in the old town of Jinan in the 21st century, not the set of a martial arts movie. It's just that all the dangers and evils are hidden in the dark night, and they are not seen by the common people. Maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, no one will care about these things, and those dead and disappeared characters will be like garbage bags thrown out in various communities, gone away with garbage trucks, and will never exist.
Before that, I was like ordinary people, I didn't care about what happened after the middle of the night, thinking that it had nothing to do with me, and I, as a civilian, just lived according to my own trajectory, and had nothing to do with the upper class of society and the characters of the rivers and lakes. In fact, in this prosperous era, anything that happens in the city may implicate oneself, and in the end, no one can be left alone, whether it is good or evil.
"Get out of the way, Tianshi, why bother with the mantis arm as a car?" Zhao Tianzi shouted in a deep voice.
I knew I was invincible, but I still opened my arms and stood in front of the ice coffin.
"She's just a dead person. Zhao Tianzi sneered, "Hehe, a dead man, is it worth your care?"
I shook my head firmly: "Of course, I promised her that if I send her back to Japan, I will fulfill my promise and never let others insult her." It is precisely because she is dead and has no power to resist that I should do it all the more. Mr. Zhao, if you cherish your reputation, don't do such a boring thing. ”
Good words definitely can't persuade people like Zhao Tianzi, judging from his face, I know that he is a person who "never gives up until he reaches his goal". Since he is suspicious of the ice coffin, he will definitely take a look at it and see through all the doubts.
"Tianshi, you remember, in front of me, no matter what you say, I won't blame you, because I cherish you as a talent. However, when you go to other places and meet other seniors, you'd better get acquainted with each other and don't do such stupid things. Do you know? With the difference in our skills at the moment, as long as I act in anger, you will die, and the inheritance of the Xia clan will be terminated from here, and your sins will be atoned for. Hehehehe, flash to the side, don't let me really get angry!" Zhao Tianzi said with a sneer.
His face was like a black stone, and his eyes became cold, like a wild boar that suddenly broke into the homes of the people in the city on a cold night.
The boar's fangs have been revealed, but I have no knife in my hand to kill the pig.
With a thud, my heel kicked the corner of the ice coffin, making an alarming noise.
"Tom, tom, tom," a heavy, strange voice came from far away to the west. Judging from the movement, the sound seemed to come from the direction of the Guandi Temple on Furong Street.
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Zhao Tianzi approached step by step.
I had no room to retreat, so I could only nail it firmly to the ground, and use my body to carry Zhao Tianzi and prevent him from further insulting Ming Qianying.
"If it's not for your thaumaturgical potential—" Zhao Tianzi stretched out his right hand, his thumb, index finger, and middle finger flexed like hooks and buckled towards my throat.
At this moment, I saw that the empty door under his right rib was wide open, and as long as he had a knife in his hand, he could shrink his neck and hide his head, lower his body to avoid the opponent's talons, turn to the right, and then use the blade to wipe the vital place under his ribs.
After understanding the knife spectrum of the "Shenzhou Nine Swords", I have a very clear understanding of the physical confrontation between people, at least I can see the enemy's flaws in an instant, and then find a countermeasure to crack it. It's a pity that at this time, I always don't have the right knife in my hand.
With a bang, Zhao Tianzi's eagle claws had already buckled my Adam's apple, and then slowly tightened.
Without a sword, I would not have been able to defeat the enemy and solve this catastrophe tonight.
I couldn't breathe under the claws of my talons, and Venus danced in front of me.
"Can't you think clearly? Can't you see the situation clearly? You must regret it now...... Begging for mercy, worship me as a teacher, it is a bright road......" Zhao Tianzi's voice flickered near and far, as if from heaven. His face became more and more hideous, like a blue-faced wolf that chooses people to devour.
It is impossible for the descendants of the Xia clan to become the disciples of others, especially someone like Zhao Tianzi.
I didn't even want to answer a word, I just regretted that it was too late to obtain the "Shenzhou Nine Swords" knife spectrum, and I didn't have the ability to pull the knife out of the sheath and kill the enemy at such a life-and-death moment.
"Tom, tom", the loud and heavy sound continued to ring, shaking my ear drums for a while.
The talons that were clasped on my Adam's apple suddenly loosened, and I leaned over and coughed while holding on to the ice coffin, coughing more than thirty times before I felt that my breathing was smooth again.
Of course, Zhao Tianzi is not so kind, and he will not easily let go of the opportunity to insult young people, so as to establish his high status.
