Nothing in the world can be completely resolved, unless all the people involved in it are dead and no one cares about it anymore.

For some reason, I feel some compassion for Teacher Shan.

The power of the Nine Limit Nails is too great, and it is also called the "Absolute Nail of the Household" by the thaumaturgical world, and the "Punishment of Cannon Branding" and the "Gu of the Meat Forest of Jiuchi" invented by the former Shang King have been abandoned by the people in the rivers and lakes, and they are no longer mentioned, let alone used.

The Shan clan has been repeatedly defeated by the imperial family in history, and its mind has been completely distorted, from seizing the country to harming the country, so it will hide the super killer weapon of the "Nine Limit Nail".

The eight people obeyed Teacher Shan's words, each opened his chest and placket, and took out a one-foot-long conical iron cylinder from his arms.

"Open the lid and get ready for the nails. Teacher Shan ordered.

The four people on the other side of the ice coffin opened the square lid on the iron cylinder at the same time, and pulled out an eight-inch-long four-sided mahogany cone from it.

The mahogany stake is dark red, the tail end is more than an inch square, and the whole body is carved with zigzag and intricate talismans.

Teacher Shan faced the portrait on the offering table and smiled in a low voice: "Zhang Quanzhong, there is no way to do it, you forced me." I'll give you three more minutes, and if you don't show up again, your woman will die a miserable death. My Shan clan has always done things fairly, if you come out, we will let Jingguan Xiaowu go to the ground for peace, and we will never be violated in any way. Otherwise, I can only promise that you will regret it. ”

I believe that in order to force Zhang Quanzhong out, they will be very disrespectful to the body of Jingguan Xiaowu.

In a sense, Lian Chengbi and I inadvertently became accomplices of the Shan clan, which is really ashamed of Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu.

"I know you're here, Zhang Quanzhong, why bother? You make a turtle with a shrunken head and throw your own woman out to die, what is the reason? If you have the ability, you come out and try my Nine Limit Nails, and see if the Zhang Family God can crack it......" Teacher Shan looked away from the statue and patrolled around the mourning hall.

I knew that Lian Chengbi was waiting outside, but far away water could not quench her thirst, and she could not directly see the emergency situation in the mourning hall. As soon as the Nine Limits nail was shot, Jingguan Xiaowu and Zhang Quanzhong were defeated, and the matter became irreparable.

"Teacher Shan, can you listen to me? Isn't it good for your Shan family and the Zhang family to find another place to solve their grievances? Today, you will temporarily raise your noble hand and bury Jingguan Xiaowu peacefully. You should know that Jingguan Xiaowu made contributions to the Anti-Japanese War in Jinan and should be respected. People are doing it, the sky is watching, if you insist on going your own way, obediently deviate from benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, I am afraid that you will be punished by God. "I'm still making one last effort.

"Unless...... Unless you can take her place. Teacher Shan suddenly changed his words.

I stared into his eyes as if I saw two bottomless black abysses.

"You can replace her, you know what she knows anyway, and you have a lot of interesting things in your head that I need. Now, let's make a decision, do you want to bear the thorn of the Nine Limits Nail on her behalf?" Teacher Shan asked in a cold tone.

"Bury her first. I said.

"What do you mean—agreed?" asked Teacher Shan.

I replied coldly: "Bury her first, don't let the anti-Japanese heroes shed blood and tears." ”

In my opinion, Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu are both anti-Japanese heroes, and they have fought hard with devils with real swords and guns on the battlefields of the two armies. No matter what their purpose is, as long as they resist Japan, they will conform to the general principle of "joint resistance against Japan" in those years.

They had shed blood for the people of Jinan City, and today, when a person is about to die, what reason is there for her to endure humiliation and shed tears without words? In this sense, all nine members of the Shan clan deserve to die.

"Good. Teacher Shan waved.

Someone lifted the lid from the side of the ice coffin, covered it on the ice coffin, and locked it casually.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked.

"We want all the arithmetic achievements of the Zhang family, eliminate the descendants of the Zhang family, and make the Shan family dominate in the field of arithmetic. Teacher Shan said.

I reminded him: "All of Zhang Quanzhong's achievements are in that abacus, and if I give you the abacus, won't it solve the problem?"

Teacher Shan shook his head: "No, a person like him with an IQ higher than the sky acts elusively, leaving traps everywhere. I only tried to parse an abacus bead, and it had already caused me to overuse my brain, and my temples were hot like charcoal stoves. Based on this calculation, even if I rack my brains, I can't fully understand the content of the abacus beads. So, I had to take a shortcut and use Jingguan Xiaowu or you to deal with him. ”

I pointed out: "Let's go out and talk, don't affect the rest of the dead." ”

In fact, as long as you get out of this mourning hall, Lianchengbi is condescending, and the spear firepower can cover the whole field, so that the Shan clan cannot escape.

Teacher Shan nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go out to talk, it's more convenient." ”

He waved his hand, and the two people behind him let me go.

Here, I carelessly ignore a problem, that is, Teacher Shan is a master of arithmetic, and his brain power is close to Zhang Quanzhong, so he has 90% accurate judgment on many things. So, everything I thought was in his calculations.

"Please. He gestured outward.

I turned slowly and walked out side by side with him.

The rest of the people dispersed, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased.

I deliberately took half a step behind, allowing Teacher Shan to raise his hand to open the two iron doors of the mourning hall.

The sun was shining in my face, and I felt dizzy about ascending from hell to heaven in an instant, and I stumbled a few steps unconsciously.

Obviously, as soon as the door opened, Teacher Shan and I were both under the scope of Lianchengbi.

"Let's go sit under the eaves and talk. Teacher Shan pointed again.

There are plastic tables and chairs under the eaves of the porch, and there is a thin layer of floating dust on the table top and chair surface, and it seems that no one has sat on it for a long time. It is no wonder that all the people who come to such a place are in a hurry, and they can't stand for a few minutes in total, and they don't even touch the tables and chairs, so as not to feel psychologically touched by the bad luck of the dead in the funeral parlor.

We each dragged a chair and sat down, facing each other, and didn't speak.

Now, the fifth-floor firing point is on my right-hand side, that is, the left-hand side of Mr. Shan, and I have an excellent line of sight and can shoot at any time.

"Teacher Shan, can I change my mind?" I asked.

Teacher Shan shook his head: "No." ”

I chuckled: "The situation has changed, and of course our relationship must also change, and it is impossible to stick to the rules and stay the same." You know what? There's a spear aimed at you right now, and if you make any unusual moves, the ambusher will immediately shoot you, piercing your temple and your heart. I don't want your life, so I hope we can get along, take a step back, and start negotiations again. ”

Teacher Shan shook his head coldly: "You are wrong, whether you are inside or outside the house, you have no bargaining chips." I'm just a little sorry that Zhang Quanzhong didn't show up, and the 'showers of one hundred and eight singles' arranged by me didn't fully play a role, and they lurked all night in vain. I believe that Miss Lian's marksmanship is very accurate, but if she is being pointed at a gun by more than a dozen people at the same time at the moment, and she is too busy to take care of herself, how can she cover you?"

I immediately looked to the top of the fifth floor, and stood up silently, with my hands over my shoulders in a "surrender" posture. Because of the low wall, I couldn't see anyone else, but I understood that Lian Chengbi had been restrained by Teacher Shan's ambush.

Compared with the calculation ability of the documentary teacher, Lian Chengbi and I are not half a star, and all the plans are within the calculation range of the other party.

Of course, we didn't take Teacher Shan as the enemy at first, and we didn't completely set up an ambush for him, which led to the loss of the whole game.

"Okay, you win. I said.

"It doesn't matter if you win that. Teacher Shan had no joy on his face, and turned his head silently to look around.

"If Zhang Quanzhong doesn't come, that's the only way. I said gloomily.

"I finally got a big hand, and I was hoping to win more, and once and for all, completely eliminate the enemy of the Shan family. It ended hastily, and I don't know if I can get the same opportunity in the future. Teacher Shan's tone was very stunned.

Soon, five young men with their hands in their pockets came with Lian Chengbi.

"I'm sorry Miss Lian, I didn't expect it to be like this. Teacher Shan apologized to Lianchengbi from afar.

Lian Chengbi's face was expressionless, he walked to the table and sat down, facing the mourning hall, without saying a word.

"Miss Lian, Mr. Xia and I have reached an agreement, he is willing to bear the blow of the Nine Limits on behalf of Jingguan Xiao Wu, this kind of 'sacrificing one's life to feed the tiger, cutting meat to feed the eagle' fearlessness and dedication has incomparable universal value, worthy of learning and praise for future generations. Teacher Shan said.

Succeed in the king, defeat the deer, and kill his hands.

He is a victor and says everything right.

Hearing the "Nine Limit Nails", Lian Chengbi only trembled slightly with his eyebrows, and did not react greatly.

Teacher Shan clapped his hands three times, and someone walked over, placed three bottles of beer on the table, and then opened the caps.

"Mr. Xia, I admire your courage, a toast. Teacher Shan held up a bottle of wine.

Speechlessly, I raised the wine bottle and touched the wine bottle in Mr. Shan's hand.

"How can this be? Teacher Shan, your anti-customer-oriented move has turned us from partners to rivals. You should know, how could King Qin suffer such a big loss?" Lian Chengbi finally spoke.

Teacher Shan smiled: "Miss Lian, I have my way to go, and I also have the responsibility of the Shan clan on my shoulders, how can I always work for the King of Qin? Go back and tell King Qin that there are so many thaumaturgical sects in the Central Plains, and he can't insert a leg if he wants to." If you want to gain a foothold here, if you don't have the ability to practice horizontally with the Thirteen Taibao and the iron cloth shirt with the Golden Bell Hood, then you can't think about it. ”

Lian Chengbi was helpless, lowered his head and sighed, and the arrogance on his face was gone.

"The power of the Nine Limit Nails is unpredictable, Mr. Xia, after drinking this bottle of send-off wine, lest you say under Jiuquan that I rely on the old and sell the old, and I am disrespectful to the old. At this moment, I have a message for the two of you, this is the sobering words of walking the rivers and lakes, the absolute truth, that is, 'never trust anyone'. If you trust others and bet on them, you will make a mistake and you will suffer a catastrophe. Well, drink bar, drink bar. Teacher Shan said with great ambition.

He lifted the bottle and took two large sips, then suddenly glanced south, turned his head and asked, "Is everyone safe?"

Standing behind him was the young man who delivered the wine, and the young man immediately bowed down and replied, "Except for the southern team, the other three sides have been safely withdrawn." ”

"Go check it out. Teacher Shan pointed south.

Without the slightest delay, the two young men ran south.

Teacher Shan's brows furrowed tightly, and after only a minute, he waved to the other people: "You guys go together, turn on the hands-free button of your phone, I need to hear your movements at any time." ”

A few people ran south together, and only me, Lian Chengbi, and Teacher Shan were left at the table. Others stood at the entrance of the mourning hall, watching from afar.

"Looks like you're in trouble?" asked Lian Chengbi with interest.

Teacher Shan glanced at her, did not respond, but raised the bottle and drank it in one gulp.

The people sent out never came back, and Teacher Shan had no choice but to send two more teams, each with six people, to rush to the south gate of the funeral home.

"Miss Lian, do you have ambush soldiers?" and when those people were far away, Teacher Shan asked suspiciously.

Lian Chengbi didn't admit it directly, but responded with a smile: "Teacher Shan, the world's major events are not something you can calculate alone. If you really have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, the Shan clan has long been prominent in the rivers and lakes, do you still need to wait until now? I advise you to just stop and evacuate, today's incident will be regarded as a misunderstanding, and everyone will forget about it when they leave here, how about it?"

Teacher Shan sneered twice, took out a palm-sized stainless steel abacus from his left pocket, and gently slapped it on the table.

"Now that I've passed the word, these nine limit nails can't be empty. Miss Lian, I don't care what kind of master you bring, Mr. Xia will always eat the nine nails of my Shan clan today. He said.

When the five fingers of his left hand brushed the piano on the abacus beads, all the beads clanged and instantly formed a human figure with hands and feet.

He looked down at the "person" and sneered again: "Okay, Miss Lian, you are bluffing me, no one from the King of Qin will come at all." ”

Lian Chengbi just sneered and didn't take the teacher's words.

"So, let me calculate if there are any reinforcements on Mr. Xia's side?" Teacher Shan's hand reached into his right pocket, and when he took it out again, he was holding an electronic calculator the size of a business card in his palm.

The five fingers of his right hand tapped quickly on the calculator keyboard, and he stopped for a moment, and then laughed: "Mr. Xia is okay here, it seems that I am too worried." ”

I only know a little about the way of "arithmetic", so I can't explain Mr. Shan's ability to deduce the actual situation with the help of abacus and calculators. However, he has already deduced that Lian Chengbi and I have no follow-up reinforcements, and the two of them are just fighting alone.

"Mr. Shan, the way of thaumaturgy is unfathomable, and I believe that you will also be careless and mistaken sometimes. For the sake of your faction's survival, I hope that even if you don't help us, you don't dwell on it and turn a place like a funeral parlor into a paradise for the slayer. Lian Chengbi said.

This time, Teacher Shan was fearless, shook his head and laughed: "Miss Lian, don't drink in vain, I can already see clearly what cards you have in your hand." Alright, after the drink, our business is about to begin. ”

In my righteous indignation, I agreed to bear the stab of the Nine Limits Nail for Jingguan Xiao Wu, and at that time I still had illusions, hoping to get long-distance support from Lianchengbi's spear and successfully get rid of the entanglement of the Shan clan. Now, the tide has receded, the water has fallen, and the three of us have become open cards, and we can't play anymore.

"Tianshi, we lost this game. Lian Chengbi said gloomily.

"I replaced Jingguan Xiaowu, willingly. I said.

At the bottom of Wulong Pond, I owe Jingguan Xiaowu an account, and now I should pay her back, let her enter the earth safely, and say goodbye to this world.

"Tianshi, I won't let you die in vain. Lian Chengbi said with a cold face, "King Qin will be on the same page with the Shan clan this time, and he will not die." ”

I'm actually very worried about Lian Chengbi, with Teacher Shan's way of doing things, I probably won't allow her to leave the funeral home alive.

"Nail it!" Teacher Shan called back.

Someone sent a quadrangular pyramidal iron box, and the spring buckle on the lid of the box had been lifted.

"Mr. Xia, I only need the secret in your heart, if your life is great, you may be able to survive. Long ago, there was an old saying in thaumaturgical circles - the more you know, the faster you die. I really admire those old-timers, all the truths have been summed up by them, every word, every mantra, hehehehe......" He turned the cone-shaped iron box upside down, and a peachwood quadrangular pyramid fell into the palm of his hand.

He was not in a hurry to make a move, but laid the pyramid flat on the table, the tip of the pyramid facing me.

"There is no gap in the Nine Palaces Diagram, and there is no life in the Bagua Diagram. I have long observed that the layout of this funeral parlor is also built according to the standard orientation of the two rituals, the three realms, the four elephants, the five elements, the eight trigrams, and the nine palaces, which shows that the architectural drawings are from the hands of a master of metaphysics. The place where we sit is the central earth position, that is, the place where life and death lead to heaven. According to the analysis of the theory of fate, the upward is life, jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, and the downward is death, falling into the Nine Hidden Yellow Springs and Eighteen Hells. Biologically, upward is death, the body turns into smoke, and flies into the sky, on the contrary, downward is life, buried in the earth, reincarnated, although the body dies, the soul is immortal. The final battle took place here, perhaps by providence. We are all thaumaturgical people, and we should follow the will of God—" He stroked the curved lines of the peachwood cone with the tip of his index finger, like an executioner scrubbing his own ghost-headed knife.

In my eyes, every fine line represents a path of life.

There are a total of nine nails, with different patterns on the nail body, covering almost all the modes of mortals from life to death. Its name is "limit", which proves that no one can escape the limitations of these models.

The so-called "all avenues lead to Rome, and the avenues leading to heaven are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine", which means that "all avenues are under the control of the nine limits".

Teacher Shan lowered his head at the moment, and I could just see the Baihui acupoint in the middle of his head.

For a master, the top of the head and the spring under the feet are the most vulnerable points, and it should never be easily exposed to others, especially to the enemy.

If I have some kind of sharp weapon in my hand, I can stab into Teacher Shan's Baihui acupoint and take his life in an instant.

His Baihui acupoint was covered with gray and white hair, and under normal circumstances, there were countless human hairs, even a small handful, as many as dozens or even hundreds. Strangely, however, I could see the number of hairs in an instant—forty-five gray, thirty black, and twenty-one half-gray and half-black.

It was as if I was looking at the top of Mr. Shan's head through a microscope, and I could not only see his hair, scalp, leather boots, and bone protrusions, but also see the most vital parts that would kill him with a single stab.

"Teacher Shan?" I called him.

I don't want to kill him, even if he is going to crucify me in the Nine Limits, I still hope that he will repent and return to his lost path.

"What?" he whispered.

"Shall I leave it at that?" I tried to discuss with him.

"Stop? At this time, you talk to me about stopping? You have so many secrets about Zhang Quanzhong hidden in your heart and mind, which are what my Shan clan desperately wants. The thaumaturgical world is vast and profound, and it is extremely difficult to climb even one level higher. Now, I have finally found a shortcut to the top of the field of arithmetic and become one of the bright stars of the thaumaturgical world...... Is it possible?" he asked rhetorically.

"Well, if you don't stop, then die!" the voice came from my mouth, but it wasn't really what I wanted to say, as if someone else was speaking through my mouth.

In an instant, there was a small black hole with a diameter of no more than half an inch on Teacher Shan's Baihui acupoint.

I didn't hear anything, and three seconds after the black hole appeared, blood gushed inside, as if someone had carved a fountain of blood there.

Teacher Shan didn't speak again, his body shook back and forth twice, pounced forward, and lay on the table. In an instant, the blood that bubbled up from the fountain of blood above his head stained the mahogany cone red and filled the table.

This change came suddenly, and Lian Chengbi and I hurriedly retreated, looking at each other.

"There are gunmen, there are gunmen...... "Teacher Shan's men shouted in a hurry.

The peach wood cone sucked up Mr. Shan's blood, and the lines on the cone became vivid and vivid, each one of which was twisting and writhing, like a hundred and ten thin snakes with iron wires that chose people to devour.

"If you were stuck in such a weird wooden cone, it would suck my blood—" The thought of this caused a dense layer of goosebumps all over my body.

"Judging from the ballistic position, there are people at that firing point. Lian Chengbi whispered.

Her spear and bullets were all seized by Teacher Shan's people, and they were placed next to the table at the moment. The shooter chose the same ambush location, but only after Teacher Shan's men searched for it.

There was nothing surprising about the ambush that the man chose, it was exactly the same as the one chosen by Lianchengbi, it was located from an obvious vantage point overlooking the whole field.

It's just that he chose the most appropriate time point, that is, the defensive vacuum point of Teacher Shan.

Teacher Shan died, holding the abacus in his left hand and the calculator in his right hand, but he could no longer expand the calculation. As for the funeral home, his life also stopped in front of the ancestral nine nails of the Shan family.

"Go and control the dead man's body!" someone shouted outside the mourning hall.

This person was very smart, and he thought of the enemy's weakness from Teacher Shan's death, and immediately called on his fellow disciples to control the body of Jingguan Xiaowu, so that the attackers could throw a mouse.

His voice was loud and conspicuous in the crowd, so he died quickly and was likewise shot in the head.

The young men exclaimed again, and then each hugged his head and ran away.
