Chapter Seventy-Three: The Seven Meanings of Jizo
The body of the one-eyebrow fairy was originally a small puppet, and at the moment he tilted his head to the side, as if he had broken his neck, and from time to time made a clicking sound, and said gloomily: "I ...... I ate it. β
Huzi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, there was already a villain in his heart who screamed thousands of times, but when he came to his mouth, he could only say one sentence: "Sure enough...... Murderer!"
"Hahahahaha......" The fairy with one eyebrow heard this, and looked up and laughed.
Huzi watched her long hair flutter in the air, slowly returning to her usual appearance, and a pounding heart slowly calmed down.
I only heard the fairy with one eyebrow say: "Silly boy, the lifespan of human beings is limited, and it is impossible to live forever. My master, he died five hundred years ago. Before he died, he let me out of his body, so that I can live until now. As he spoke, tears flowed from the big eyes of the fairy.
Everything came too suddenly, and Huzi didn't have time to react, so he could only look at the fairy with a fixed eyebrow, not knowing what to do.
"He could have lived longer. But for my sake, he took his last breath. β
Huzi had never seen such a fairy with one eyebrow, and was a little stunned, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Fairy Mother-in-law." I shouldn't have brought up your sadness. β
The flames around them burned brighter and brighter, reflecting the crispness of the phalanx, with only the shadows of the tiger and the fairy with one eyebrow.
The one-eyebrow fairy continued, her voice wandering back and forth in the empty pagoda: "Some things could have been changed. But the weak can only watch everything, watch everything slip through their fingers, but nothing can be done. β
At this time, Huzi really felt that there was indeed a magic weapon that had lived in the small body of the Yimei Fairy for hundreds of years.
"So...... Huzi ......"
Hearing this, Huzi raised his head and looked at the fairy with an eyebrow.
The fairy with one eyebrow also raised his head and looked at himself steadily, his voice changed from sadness to sadness, and he said with full vitality: "If you don't want to lose everything, you have to become stronger! Are you ready!"
Huzi nodded, confident and full of fighting spirit, and said, "Yes! Ready!"
As soon as Huzi's words fell, I saw a fairy with an eyebrow spinning in the air, and her long black hair was thrown up in the air, like a long braid. As the speed of the one-eyebrow fairy became faster and faster, Huzi could no longer see the discerning shadow clearly, and only felt a huge burst of energy condensed in front of him.
Huzi immediately made a decision, transported his true qi all over his body, and found the familiar feeling when he faced the black wind old demon. Gradually, the strange black pattern appeared on his arm againβthis time it didn't disappear, but became more and more obvious as he absorbed the energy of the Eyebrow Fairy's attack.
The fairy with one eyebrow gradually stopped, landed on the ground, and saw the tiger on the opposite side turning the palm of his hand, which was actually carrying righteousness, into a fist. Huzi stood firmly on the ground and turned his feet in the direction of the One Eyebrow Fairyβthe energy he had just absorbed rumbled the stone bricks in the phalanx until the One Eyebrow Fairy came close. The one-eyebrow fairy blocked in front of him with her long hair, and the smoke and dust were filled for a while, but the one-eyebrow fairy was unharmed, clean and refreshing.
A fairy nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well done! It seems that you have mastered Zaiyi." β
Huzi was sweating profusely, but he couldn't hide his satisfied smile, and laughed: "Hey, my Huzi is not covered!"
As he spoke, there was a rumbling roar behind him. Huzi's eyes widened for a while, and a bad premonition hit his heart.
[At the same time, Zhao Mansion]
The two magic weapons, both of which are listed on the magic weapon rankings, hit each other at the moment, and the sonorous sound is endless, and the huge energy fluctuations cause the surrounding buildings to make a low sound.
I saw Qi Xiaoxuan standing in the center of the Zhao Mansion, still wearing the robe of the National Demon Master, not stained with any dust, as if he had been born out of the dust. He held the big master in his backhand, and he didn't hurry, blocking the attack from the opposite side with every move.
Opposite him was Zhao Xintong.
Today, Zhao Xintong has replaced a filial piety suit, and she is wearing a capable martial arts uniform. The wind was beautiful, the sun shone down from the distant sky, and the sun shone on her body, turning golden and shining. If Huzi is here, I'm afraid he will already be demented.
I don't know if Zhao Xintong has come out of the grief of losing her father, but at the moment she is really wholeheartedly engaged in the competition with Qi Xiaoxuan. But no matter how hard she tried her best, Qi Xiaoxuan seemed to be able to guess her mind, and she could always accurately predict and resist her attacks.
The Baixuan pear spear flickered in the sun, but Qi Xiaoxuan's face on the opposite side was unwavering.
The tip of the spear and the purple gold wolf clashed again, only to hear Zhao Xintong shout "Get up!" The two magic weapons parted in response, making a sharp and piercing metal scraping sound.
Zhao Xintong turned around, the spear turned out a spear flower on the tip of his finger, and with a loud shout, he sent a shot to Qi Xiaoxuan's chest. But Qi Xiaoxuan didn't seem to have time to react, so he grabbed the eldest master like this, and looked at himself fixedly, his eyes were completely blank, and he didn't expect his move.
The Baixuan Pear Flower Spear stabbed straight into Qi Xiaoxuan's chest, and crimson viscous blood flowed out of the wound. Zhao Xintong stood in shock in shock, neither pulling out a gun, nor not pulling out a gun, and her mind was blank for a while.
She looked at Qi Xiaoxuan in a daze, and said, "Little ...... Xiao Xuan ......"
Before she could grieve up, Qi Xiaoxuan's body gradually melted.
Zhao Xintong secretly said that it was not good, and she was about to retreat the Baixuan pear flower spear, but she felt a huge resistance under her hand - the body of the spear was stuck by Qi Xiaoxuan's fake body.
Zhao Xintong was about to turn around, but there was an extra finger at the center of her eyebrows. It was Qi Xiaoxuan's fingers, coldly, on his forehead.
If this finger is not a finger, but the great master of his Qimen Sect, I am afraid that he will die in Huangquan by now. Zhao Xintong knew in her heart that she had lost, her eyes were wide open, looking at the fingertips of her eyebrows, but she still remembered in her mind how Qi Xiaoxuan was shot by a spear.
was about to fight back unwillingly, but he heard Qi Xiaoxuan smile and say, "It's time to stop." β
Zhao Xintong's cheeks suddenly swelled red. Qi Xiaoxuan put his hand on the Baixuan pear flower gun, helped Zhao Xintong pull it out, and said, "Last time, the time for half a cup of tea was over. This time, it took the time of a cup of tea. β
"Uhh
I only heard Qi Xiaoxuan continue: "The time of each competition is getting longer and longer, go down as ......" and handed the spear back to Zhao Xintong. Zhao Xintong realized that she had mistaken the old pine tree in the courtyard for Qi Xiaoxuan just now.
Zhao Xintong took the spear.
If this continues, I will probably lose next time. β
Zhao Xintong looked at Qi Xiaoxuan's fluttering clothes and graceful appearance, turned her head unconvinced, and said, "Don't comfort me." A gap is a gap. I'll try to catch up with you. β
Qi Xiaoxuan looked at Zhao Xintong with a smile.
The afternoon sun shone on the two men. Zhao Xintong remembered the bits and pieces of the martial arts competition with her father when she was young. It was also in this courtyard, under such pine trees and sunlight, that my father said to himself: "Xiaotong, you are the one who wants to become the strongest demon master!" Zhao Xintong nodded fiercely at that time.
Zhao Xintong took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at Qi Xiaoxuan, and said, "Hmph, let's come again!"
Qi Xiaoxuan didn't know when he had already brought two bowls of tea in his hands, handed a bowl to Zhao Xintong, took a sip of it himself, and said, "Rest for a while." β
Zhao Xintong put away the Baixuan pear spear, took the tea handed by Qi Xiaoxuan, and asked, "Why are you ......?"
"What?" Qi Xiaoxuan looked at Zhao Xintong a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xintong walked to the edge of the old pine tree, stroked the bark of the old pine tree, and after a while, asked, "Why are you so powerful? β
Qi Xiaoxuan chuckled lightly and did not answer. When Zhao Xintong looked back again, he saw that his gaze had become very deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhao Xintong didn't bother him. After pondering for a long time, he looked at Zhao Xintong with a smile and said, "What else can it be? β
Zhao Xintong also realized that her question was a little abrupt, smiled, and said, "That's what I said." "I don't know what to do, I just sipped the tea.
But I heard Qi Xiaoxuan continue: "However, cultivation is a very difficult thing. β
Zhao Xintong nodded.
It's been a long time since he came out, Qi Xiaoxuan thought to himself. He thinks about the Qimen Sect, thinks about his father - and always leaves himself a tall and broad back. And my sister and grandmother, who are always so powerful. Up and down the Qimen Sect, there is not a single weak person.
He looked at Zhao Xintong and said, "So, you're like this, and you're also very happy, aren't you?"
He thought about what he had said to Zhao Xintong. If you hadn't experienced the ups and downs in the meantime, how could you understand Sect Master Zhao's painstaking efforts? And Xiaotong ...... No matter what, it's better if you don't understand.
Zhao Xintong turned her head and swore solemnly: "No, I'm the one who wants to become the strongest demon master." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Xiaoxuan seriously, and grabbed his Baixuan Pear Flower Spear out of the void, and said, "If I can't complete it, my Baixuan Pear Flower Spear won't agree!"
"Knock-" With a bang, Zhao Xintong put the Baixuan pear flower gun on the ground, put the tea bowl aside with one hand, and looked at Qi Xiaoxuan with his waist crossed, and his aura suddenly increased.
Qi Xiaoxuan looked at her hair, the long windless automatic, high-spirited appearance was also a little similar to herself, and her heart was a little warmer.
I only heard Zhao Xintong say again: "Come on, let's do it again." β
Qi Xiaoxuan put away the two tea bowls, invited the eldest master, and said, "Okay, I'm offended!"

γBabao Town Wallγ
A gust of wind blew through the black robes.
Two men in black stand on the walls of Babao Town.
The black-clothed people on the right were each slightly shorter, scratched their heads, looked at the scene below, and said, "Tsk, Babao Town can be regarded as a heavy loss, a mess. After a pause, he said, "It should be done by a monster above the demon level." β
The man in black on the left didn't answer.
The one on the right spoke again, "Now are we going to find Qi Xiaoxuan?"
The one on the left shook his head, raised two fingers, and pointed ahead, which meant to point to the country. After a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "No." We wait. β
As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and the man in black on the right walked closer along the city wall and whispered to him. The man in black on the left seemed to be the leader, whispering something in his ear, and then saw him nod solemnly, and one flew under the city wall and entered Babao Town.
The man in black on the city wall curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction as he watched the black cloak fade away.
The words are divided into two branches.
The black cloak that descended the city walls wandered around the town, and I didn't know where it was going. After walking around the town almost a lot, I walked back to a tavern I had passed earlier, and did it.
He ordered two side dishes, sat down and ate tea, and just quietly didn't know what he was waiting for.
Sunrise and sunset.
It's sunrise and sunset again.
Three days passed, and the man in black sat in the tavern for three whole days.
However, he had already taken off his pitch-black cloak and hat at this moment, and he could see an explosive white hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a bit heroic, and ordinary ordinary people did not dare to get close. However, Babao Town is a place where demon masters gather after all, and demon masters are not ordinary people. Among all the people who came and went, there were also many people who were dressed out of the ordinary, so no one looked at him twice.
At this moment, the white-haired man in black was playing with the teacup in front of him in every possible way, muttering to himself: "It's been three days, how long will you stay in this tavern?" β
But then he remembered that when he was leaving, the boss pointed to his nose and said, "Just two things: collect intelligence, don't run around." "Speaking very seriously, I must abide by it.
Thinking about it, anger came from it. I saw him put the teacup on the table, and said in his heart: "What do you mean that you are not allowed to run around! Uncle Ben is not a three-year-old child!" Thinking of this, his face was a little more gloomy.
I was bored, so I could only put the teacup in my hand and squeeze it tightly. After a while, the tea in the teacup bubbled slightly, as if it were boiling.
Just then, someone walked in outside the door. The white-haired man sat in the corner, quickly diverted his attention, and listened.
At this moment, if Huzi, Qi Xiaoxuan, Zhao Xintong and his party were present, they would definitely be able to recognize that these were the demon masters they encountered in the underground fighting altar at the beginning.
I saw a group of five or six of them, sitting down at a table. After ordering the dishes from the guys, they chatted.
A demon master who looked like a Taoist priest spoke first. He had two big bags under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't slept in years. I only heard him say: "I didn't expect it." Babao Town suffered such a heavy loss in this battle. β
When the man in black heard this, he clenched the teacup in his hand.
The big guy next to him answered: "Stinky old Taoist, it seems that you were the fastest runner at that time." β
The old Taoist priest's face was blue and white for a while, and finally red, which made the two eye bags more obvious. I just heard him say, "What do you say, be careful that I kill you!"
A handsome young man dressed as a swordsman on the side spoke and said, "The streets are full of Sven people, don't sit down and shout and kill." β
Neither of them was silent.
The swordsman said, "I heard that the candle man witnessed this, can you say anything?"
The old man who was called the candle man on the side was on crutches, his face was wrinkled, and he was almost old. He looked down at the teacup on the table and recalled, "I'm going to be killed...... Definitely going to be killed......"
The crowd stared at him in amazement.
"That guy is a demon venerable......"
Everyone gasped and said in surprise: "Demon Venerable?!"
Candle Weng said affirmatively: "Yes...... That guy has turned into a human, and he looks exactly like a human - no, it should be a higher being than a human. β
When the Taoist priest heard this, he looked incredulous, and said, "Hey, this is impossible! Demon Venerable is a monster that only exists in legends!"
The big man on one side also stared at the candle man, and everyone fell into deep thought for a while.
The candle man looked at the crowd and said, "If you don't believe me, what can I say." β
The swordsman was young and vigorous, and said: "The book says that in the pinnacle battle five hundred years ago, the monsters above the Demon Venerable level were either killed in battle or sealed! β
Everyone looked at the swordsman and felt that he was right, so they turned their heads to look at the candle man.
The big man on the side also said: "A cowardly and incompetent person will always make up his opponent to be strong." You can't live without adding truth and truth, it's human nature. β
The candle man's wrinkled face had been lowered deeply, and everyone could only see the slowly burning candlestick above his head. After listening to him for a long time, he quietly retorted: "No...... That's not true. β
Someone else gently chimed in: "Candlestickers don't lie." β
The young swordsman said, "Ah, Mr. Candle Weng is naturally highly respected. But is it possible that the gentleman is mistaken?"
It was a sharp-faced Taoist who echoed him, only to hear him suddenly interject: "I also witnessed what happened, and I saw Sect Master Zhao being killed with my own eyes. β
The crowd fell silent again.
The young swordsman held back the nervousness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, that doesn't prove anything! Zhao Menzong's strength has already declined. Maybe the strength of Sect Master Zhao is just waste wood. β
The crowd did not answer, and looked at him angrily.
I only heard Candle Weng say: "Stinky little ghost! Sect Master Zhao is the hero who saved Babao Town! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you!"
The swordsman sat down and raised his hand in surrender, and said weakly, "Hehe...... Hey...... Mr. Candle, violence is a sign of inner fear! Don't use the topic to play with it!"
The big man on the side couldn't help it first, and roared: "Then I'll come!"
......
The white-haired man in black who didn't say a word turned his eyes to look at the people at the table and smiled secretly.
......
It was late at night.
The people at the table had been drinking all afternoon, staggering around the table. The big man stood on the table and sang his favorite love song, and everyone listened, but they didn't stop him, and some people cheered.
The Taoist priest put the big man on his shoulder and said, "Don't drink with this guy next time." β
Candle Weng said nonchalantly: "Haha, you kid said the same thing last time." This big guy...... Do you want to make any other tunes? β
In the blink of an eye, the big guy changed to a more ugly tune.
The sharp-faced Taoist snorted twice and said, "Big guy, it's useless." I drank a little and got drunk like this. β
The swordsman on the side put his hands behind his back, away from the drunken big man, and said, "Walking with you vulgar people really lowers the noble status of this young man. β
Everyone was noisily preparing to go home, but they heard a click in front of them.
Over the years, the demon master career has made everyone have a good intuition about danger. As the eldest, the candle man is naturally even more so. I saw that he suddenly stopped, and most of the wine woke up.
When everyone saw Candle Weng's reaction, they also woke up in an instant, and they saw a person standing in front of him, hiding his body in a black cloak.
The black cloak took off his hat, revealing his explosive white hair, looked at everyone, stretched out a hand, and said, "Do you have time to enjoy your face and drink tea?"
......
γJiuhua Mountain, Flesh Towerγ
Huzi heard a rumbling sound behind him, turned his head, and cried out in horror: "What's wrong, what's wrong!"
The one-eyebrow fairy looked up at the tall Ruyi Orb, saw that the liquid actually flowed down the groove, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that the time is ripe." β
"When?
"The second test is about to begin. β
Huzi was a little surprised and expectant, stared at the fairy with wide eyes, and asked, "The second test?"
The one-eyebrow fairy walked a few steps around Huzi, his long hair dragging on the ground, and said, "Hehe~That'sββ"
But he didn't continue, just pointed at Huzi with his finger and said, "It's so hot~" The voice was sweet and greasy, and Huzi felt chilled when he heard it.
I was about to continue asking, but I felt a temperature in my stomach. The feeling grew stronger and stronger, and in an instant it felt like my stomach was on fire.
Huzi didn't care about the fairy with an eyebrow, and bent down to cover his stomach, exclaiming, "Hmm! it's so hot!" he said and lifted his shirt to see what was on his stomach.
At a glance, I could see the red and shiny mark on my belly. Huzi screamed at the eyebrow fairy, "What is this!!!!......! What the hell did you do to me!"
I saw a faint mark in the red light on Huzi's abdomen, hovering into a look that Huzi couldn't understand. He only felt that this mark was somewhat similar to the ghost drawing on the outer wall of the pagoda.
I only heard the fairy with one eyebrow say: "Silly boy, this is the summoning of the test of the Seven Meanings of Jizo." β
Huzi was stunned and let out an "ah".
The Eyebrow Fairy continued, "When this tattoo appears on your body, it means that you should take the next test. β
As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the Ruyi Orb and said, "Come with me." β
Huzi rubbed his stomach in fright, put his shirt neatly on his body, and was stunned for a long time.
The flesh tower was pitch black, and only the Wishful Orb and the surrounding flames emitted a faint light. Huzi closed his eyes, remembered the figure of his mother in his childhood memories, nodded, shook his head again, put down those memories for a while, and followed the eyebrow fairy forward.
