Chapter 53: Foreign Bodies
"That's what we're aiming for?"
"Yes, come closer."
Following Chu Ce's instructions, the murderer stood in front of the door of the black house with him on his back.
At this time, it was late at night, and there was silence all around, and the people in the camp were very in awe of the black house, so they did not set up guards around it.
And at such a close distance, Chu Ce finally felt a little strange, this house looks like it is made of wood, but if you look closely, you will find that it is very strange, the black of the whole body does not seem to be a dye such as paint, but a texture that is naturally carved into the wood.
Chu Ce stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and the wooden touch came, rough and a little prickly.
"Hmm......" Chu Ce groaned slightly, and didn't care about it anymore, but studied the gate.
It was a wooden door with a heavy iron lock hanging on it, and Chu Ce pulled it gently, very firmly.
"Will you pick the lock?"
He turned his head and asked at the murderer.
"No," said the murderer honestly, "I'm only going to kill people, not these petty thefts." ”
"Okay." Chu Ce shrugged his shoulders and began to walk around the black house, trying to see if he could find another way in.
But he soon discovered that the black house not only had no windows, not even a ventilation opening, but also had a very strange shape, not like a wooden plank, but like it grew out of the dirt!
"What should I do?"
The murderous ghost urn asked angrily.
Chu Ce didn't reply, at present, there was only one entrance to the gate, but with the heavy iron lock hanging, it was difficult to enter at all, if it was forcibly split with an ink scale gun, it would inevitably make a sound to wake up the other villagers.
How?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Chu Ce's head, digging tunnels to enter, going to Zheng Li Xue Yuanliang's house to find the key, etc., but they were all vetoed by him one by one.
Suddenly, Chu Ce slapped his head: "I'm stupid, I'm just here to find clues, and I don't have to enter this house!" ”
Thinking of this, Chu Ce instantly had an idea, he lifted the ink scale gun in his hand, came to the back of the house, and began to carefully drill holes with the tip of the gun.
Before, he was bound by habitual thinking, and his mind was full of how to get into this house, but in fact, he only needed to drill a hole to see what was going on inside.
The ink scale spear was extremely sharp, and the wood fell like tofu under the tip of the spear, and Chu Ce gently forced, and the tip of the spear easily entered.
Seeing this, both of them were overjoyed, and Chu Ce also worked harder, and when the tip of the gun was about five centimeters, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
Chu Ce was stunned for a moment, and he exerted force in his hands, but he was shocked to find that the ink scale gun couldn't go any deeper!
He took out the gun and looked towards the entrance of the cave, only to see that under the wooden plank, there was a layer of unknown material, like iron but not iron, like wood but not wood, its surface was uneven, but faintly glowing with metallic luster, like some kind of shellfish carapace painted with paint.
"What is this? The ink scale spear is so sharp that it can pierce through steel, but it can't pierce this thing? ”
Chu Ce was shocked.
At this time, the murderer also came over, he looked at it, stretched out his nose again, sniffed it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "This is!" ”
"How ......"
Chu Ce just wanted to ask a question, but a torch suddenly lit in the distance!
"Not good!"
He was quick-eyed, grabbed the murderer and crouched down, and then poked his head out, but saw more and more torches rising, and he was looking in the direction of the black house!
Chu Ce secretly screamed in his heart, knowing that it was probably the sound of the ink scale gun hitting the unknown material just now, which alarmed the people in the camp.
Soon, with the sound of footsteps and shouts, the firelight got closer and closer, and there was an open space around the black house, and there was no way to escape! Chu Ce and the others are hiding behind, and sooner or later they will be discovered!
But fortunately, Chu Ce had made a backup plan before he came, and he glanced at the murderer, who understood, raised his head and let out a scream, and his huge body suddenly jumped out from behind, viciously rushing towards the people holding torches!
Suddenly, a group of people flipped on their backs, and the murderer was extremely fast, and after knocking down a few villagers, he didn't listen at all, and fled towards the mountains and forests in the distance.
With a burst of shouting and scolding, most of the torches chased after the murderer, Chu Ce took the opportunity to roll, quickly away from the black house, and then he spared a large circle, and carefully covered his footprints as he walked, fortunately, the attention of the others was attracted by the murderer, so that he returned to his room safely.
Then, pretending to be like the others, he pushed through the door with doubts and joined the search for the murderer.
About a quarter of an hour later, the people in the camp returned in vain.
With the physical fitness of a murderer, it is more than enough to get rid of these martial artists who have not even reached the Cloud Gathering Realm.
After that, Chu Ce returned to his room, but instead of sleeping, he sat down cross-legged and silently cultivated the Dao Fa.
After another hour, when calm returned to the camp, a slight "squeak" suddenly rose in Chu Ce's ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a huge figure flexibly climbing through the window to enter.
It's the murderer!
Chu Ce let out a long breath, ended his cultivation, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"They didn't catch up with me." Murderous ghost road.
Expected.
Chu Ce nodded slightly: "So now let's talk about what happened just now, what do you seem to have discovered?" ”
"Hmm." The killer's expression became serious, "I feel the breath of a 'foreign object'!" ”
"Foreign objects?"
Chu Ce's eyes were puzzled.
"That's it...... Not something that comes naturally. ”
The murderer gestured with his hand as if he didn't know how to explain it, and it took a long time before he said: "It's like a sword forged by man, a tree grows naturally, and a stone is precipitated and polished, they can all be traced back to the source, and foreign objects...... They can't explain it, it's as if it's not something of this world! ”
The words of the murderer made Chu Ce even more confused, what is something that cannot be explained, what is not something from this world?
Seeing this, the murderer was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, pointed to the ink scale gun in Chu Ce's hand and said: "This gun has a trace of foreign body breath, but it is very faint, it should be that the forger fused some of it in order to enhance its power." ”
Chu Ce was surprised, and the murderer continued: "I understand, foreign bodies are like this, they can't be treated with common sense at all, some foreign bodies can make people become martial arts masters from mortals overnight, and some foreign bodies can make weapons instantly exert the power of killing gods and destroying Buddhas, they violate the laws of nature!" ”
Listening to the words of the murderer, Chu Ce had some understanding in his heart.
In the natural world, the emphasis is on gradual progress, whether it is martial arts, growth, or others, take Chu Ce himself as an example, the growth of his martial arts cultivation should be a continuous and smooth curve, there may be peaks and valleys, but the focus is continuous.
foreign objects, mutations can occur!
Suddenly, he thought of the Buddha image in his mind.
Could it be ......
At this time, the murderer's whisper interrupted Chu Ce's thoughts: "Anyway, as long as you get involved with a foreign object, there will be no good thing!" They may bring you short-term benefits, but they will definitely wipe you clean in the end, and you will regret it! If I were you, I'd throw that broken gun away! ”
Chu Ce was noncommittal, but smiled: "It sounds like you're familiar with foreign objects. ”
As soon as the words fell, the murderer immediately fell silent.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
"How do you think I got to be the hell I am now?"
