Chapter 144: Counting is Counting
The mysterious man knew that everything would come to naught, and the dragon slaying seal and Pangu heart that he had worked so hard to obtain were worthless in his hands.
"I don't cultivate good results in my life, I only love to kill people and set fires. Suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was torn off here. The tide on the Qiantang River came to me, and today I know that I am me. This is the summary of Lu Zhishen's legendary life by Shi Nai'an, the author of "Water Margin", and when I think about it at this moment, it is used in the life of the mysterious Shantai, but it is also so appropriate.
Shantai handed over the Dragon Slayer Seal and Pangu Xin to Ji Weiqi, and told us to be careful of Shui Xiaoliu's secret sneak attack. Subsequently, Ji Weiqi and I embarked on a trip south.
Taihu Lake is a place that I am very familiar with, not only because I studied in Huzhou at university, but more importantly, there is an unforgettable story that happened there.
"Do you want to see her?" Ji Weiqi looked at the snowy old forest outside the window, and thought of an old man again, thinking of the autumn rain without warning, hitting her body, cold in her heart.
"No!"
"So resolute?"
"Sister Qi, do you think I'm in the mood to see her now?"
Ji Weiqi shook her head and said, "It's just to see someone." ”
Seeing that I didn't speak, Ji Weiqi changed the topic and said, "Do you know where we're going next?" ”
"Taihu Lake?" I looked at her in amazement, wondering why she was knowingly asking.
Ji Weiqi shook her head again and said, "What Shantai said is true, Xuanwu is in Taihu Lake, but we can't rush forward. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Shui Xiaoliu has a very important thing in his hands."
"What else does he have besides mastering Xuanwu and King Sam?"
"Pangu Heart."
"Huh? Didn't Pangu Heart just give it to us from Shantai? "I couldn't figure it out.
Ji Weiqi sighed softly and said, "Maybe even Shantai himself doesn't know why this Pangu heart in his hand is fake. ”
"Fake?!" My eyes widened and I was surprised, "Sister Qi, what the hell is going on?" How could Pangu's heart be fake, that's what we're doing all the way! ”
"Pangu Heart is the core of Evergrande Shouzhuang's method of eternal life, and the Dragon Slaying Seal is just a 'medicine introduction' that promotes the fusion of the Four Spirits and Sam Wang, and it is this 'Pangu Heart' that really plays a key role, since Pangu Heart is so important, do you think it will hand over such an important thing to someone who is not really trusted?"
I suddenly realized, and my jaw almost dropped, "Mom, I understand as soon as you say this, this Pangu Heart has a healing effect, if this Pangu Heart is true, the ulcers on his face will be cured a long time ago." ”
Ji Weiqi nodded and said, "The authorities are confused, hateful people, there must be pity." ”
"So what do we do now?"
"I've already arranged for Lao Ning to send someone who is capable to come over and help."
"Do you have a plan?" I wondered.
"Shantai has already calculated that Shui Xiaoliu will sneak attack us, think about it from another perspective, Shui Xiaoliu must have expected that Shantai would fall to our side, and the duel between us and Shui Xiaoliu is actually no secret."
I nodded and said, "The dispute between Yuling and 'Shadow' should be over. ”
"So, in that case, it's better to do it." Ji Weiqi's eyes looked at the rearview mirror outside the car window, and smiled coldly, "Let's wait for a while to walk the mountain road and meet Lao Ning's people, and then act with the camera." ”
"Good!" I nodded solemnly.
Lao Ning didn't come in person this time, after all, the wheelchair is inaccessible. And the guy he called this time was his most trusted confidant, named Ke Qiao, who was very capable at a glance.
After a few pleasantries, we ditched the car on the mountain road and got on a shuttle bus, the kind of bus that runs between the city and the mountains.
The car drove on the mountain road for half an hour, and finally saw the station in front of me, and as soon as it stopped, several men filled up.
"Don't move, get your ID card out!" A man with a blue cheek shouted.
With a "snap", a reverse pump flipped the passenger who was just about to stop him to the ground, spat again, put the gun in his hand, and cursed viciously while walking forward.
He was followed by several men with shiny scalps, and the evil dragon with a thorn in his neck threw out half of his tail, scolding all the way, and asking the passengers in the carriage to take out their ID cards.
"This ......" I thought it was a robbery, but Ji Weiqi gave me a look and signaled me not to move.
Ke Qiao on the side was very clever, sat up from his seat suddenly, stared straight at the gradual few people, reached into his arms, and muttered: "Why do you check the ticket again?" ”
I swept out the window with my peripheral vision, and saw that the train was running through the reckless mountains, and the whistle sounded, and I didn't know where it had gone.
The men walked up to us, looked us up and down, and shouted, "Take out your ID card!" ”
"What for?" Kejo glared at the man.
There was a sudden silence in the carriage, and the child who was crying just now held back two sounds, stopped crying, and everyone looked at Ke Qiao in unison.
The one with the gun lifted the bolt with a bang, aimed it at Ke Qiao's head, and said, "Fool, the disability certificate is fine!" ”
I was worried in my heart, Ke Qiao has the ability to reach the sky, and he has to bear the gun to the head door, and secretly his heart is anxious.
A man in the back with a photo in his hand, only glanced at me, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Biao, it's him!" ”
As he spoke, he handed the photo to the man with the gun. The guy named Biao glanced at the photo, was stunned at first, screamed, and suddenly raised the butt of the gun and smashed it on Ke Qiao's head.
"You're looking for you!" After speaking, he raised his gun and came at me, my body shook, and I was about to pounce subconsciously.
At this time, Ji Weiqi suddenly raised her hand, grabbed the man's wrist in the air, and raised a foot to put it in the man's heart.
There was a loud "bulging", the person's body slammed into the opposite window, the passenger in the seat screamed and hugged his head and dodged away, the man grinned and looked at Ji Weiqi, wanted to get up but had no strength.
The rest of the people took a few steps back, their anger overflowing, they glanced at each other, pulled out the bright circlip knife from their waists, and threw themselves at Ji Weiqi with a loud scream.
Ke Qiao was quick-eyed, picked up a suitcase and smashed it on a person's body.
Ji Weiqi overturned a man with one palm.
I picked up the shotgun on the ground and fired an empty shot into the sky, a red bullet casing came out of the chamber, a large hole was punched in the roof of the carriage, and a cold wind blew in.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, stunned on the spot, and stared straight at me.
"Put the down guys!"
I pointed them in the head and asked in a loud voice, "Who sent you?" ”
The man looked at the muzzle of the black hole, then softened, knocked around, then pointed to the man who fell on the table, and said timidly, "Ask him." ”
Ke Qiao walked to the table, lifted the man's collar with his big hand, and asked in a loud voice, "Who sent you?" ”
The man looked at Ke Qiao with frightened eyes, his Adam's apple moved lightly, he covered his chest with one hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, don't fight, it's all ......"
"me, or I'll let you go to Hades right now!"
The muscles on the man's face kept trembling, and he didn't dare to look directly at Ke Qiao's murderous eyes, so he cried and said, "Big brother, spare me, I have the old and the young, I really can't say it, if I say it, I will die!" ”
"Tell me, I'll take care of everything, who the hell is it!" Ke Qiao put the man down and asked in a deep voice.
The man's expression was extremely reluctant, but seeing that Ke Qiao's face was full of anger, he wiped his face with his hand and said, "Big brother, is it okay to say half of it?" ”
Ji Weiqi nodded, knowing that they were being coerced.
"A few days ago, a man with a full face told us to get on the train today, capture you alive, and throw away 10,000 yuan before leaving, and return ......"
Before the man could finish speaking, a large group of villagers rushed in with a policeman, who ordered Keqiao to shoot us and make us crouch on the ground.
Several of us squatted on the ground with our heads in our hands, and then took us to the police station, questioned us, found out that we were not robbers, and let us go.
After coming out, I asked Ji Weiqi, "Sister Qi, could it be Shui Xiaoliu?" ”
"Who else but him!" Ji Weiqi said coldly, "Today we will do our best, but those robbers are going to be unlucky." ”
"Why?"
"Looking at the faces of those people, they must have been hit by a yin trick, and they were injured by his strange secret power, and within half a month, their five organs will be broken!" Ji Weiqi replied slowly.
A few of us took a bus and found a small hotel in a town near Taihu Lake to stay and rest for the night.
In my impression, I haven't slept with Ji Weiqi for a long time, and today, I finally no longer have a restless mood, and I finally no longer have insomnia.
"Why don't you lose sleep?" Ji Weiqi was also very confused, originally, when I slept with her, I always couldn't sleep all night.
"I didn't know, all of a sudden, I seemed to be able to fall asleep."
"Then why are you awake again?"
"Isn't that bottomless?"
"He can't do anything with us for the time being, let's sleep in peace!"
"Why?"
"Anyone who has delusions about the four spirits, no matter what, can't get together the four big things, the white tiger is still nowhere to be found, but he still wants to catch you so persistently, why?"
"I guess he's stunned!"
"No, Shantai wants the four spirits, but the purpose is diametrically opposed to Shui Xiaoliu, the mysterious man wants to live forever, and Shui Xiaoliu wants to kill, however, he can't take it himself, because he has greed in his heart!"
"What does that mean?"
Ji Weiqi frowned, looked at the mottled ceiling, and said slowly: "He has no delusions about the four spirits, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to live forever, Shantai told me that what Shui Xiaoliu really wants is actually a 'golden mask'." ”
"The Golden Mask? What the hell is that thing? It's not for the sake of the treasure. "Even if it's a mask made of pure gold, it's just a cultural relic at best, so why bother with Shui Xiaoliu.
"The 'golden mask' was originally called 'Tseringpa', which means 'auspicious face' is a Tibetan sacred object, and when Songtsen Gampo married Wencheng, it was used as a dowry and presented to the Tang king. But King Tang didn't care about the inconspicuous mask. Until the Dongying sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn the culture of the Central Plains, before leaving, the Tang King threw the 'golden mask' as scrap iron to the Dongying people, but the Dongying people regarded it as a treasure, and added the local evil arts, and became a murderous invisible evil thing. ”
"Then what does this have to do with Shui Xiaoliu's motives?"
"The Japanese only understand one of them, but they haven't got the law, Shui Xiaoliu has been obscene for decades, if it is with the evil spirit of the golden mask, it is difficult to become a demon!"
I was secretly frightened, I didn't expect that Shui Xiaoliu spent thirteen tricks, not simply to take the four spirits, but the ultimate goal was obvious, that is-immortality. It's just that the mysterious man is immortal for the sake of immortality, and Shui Xiaoliu wants to live forever in destruction.
The world makes people, like a grasshopper tied to a rope, trying to jump out of the circle, but the rope buckle is dragged and the thigh is broken, only to find that it can't jump out of the bottle.
I saw that Ji Weiqi was asleep, and I also felt sleepy, and I looked at the wall clock on the wall, so that at midnight, I was about to close my eyes, but I heard a woman's cry for help from the street, I rubbed my eyes, got up and looked out the window.
The streets were empty, but the faint cries came to my ears from time to time.
I heard the cry was extremely miserable, I must have met a hooligan, robbed the road, I didn't want to make extraneous branches, but at this moment, my brain was inexplicably congested, and Lei Feng possessed my body.
