Chapter 13: Nine Lions
Zhou Tao, who fell into a coma, dreamed of the dark abyss again, an endless and oppressive abyss, but this time it was different from before, the abyss was not the dead silence, but from under the abyss, there was a leisurely sound of iron chains, as if there was some huge monster tied under this abyss.
The scorching sun hung high in the air, and the dazzling sunlight shone directly into Zhou Tao's eyes, and Zhou Tao, who woke up slowly, wanted to raise his arm to cover his eyes, which was too dazzling, making his eyes white, but a sore feeling came, so that Zhou Tao did not raise his arm, and with the recovery of his consciousness, there was a sore feeling everywhere on his body.
Although Zhou Tao woke up, but he couldn't move, he worked hard for a long time and finally turned his neck, seeing Lao An who was lying in a coma and wearing a bloody clothes, Zhou Tao looked at it and wanted to laugh, "This old man, he really pretended to be a ghost to scare me, now you see a real ghost", this laugh twitched Zhou Tao's body, and suddenly the soreness came again, and he gasped for cold air in pain.
"Since you can't move, then lie quietly, it seems that the side effects of that black gas are really big", Zhou Tao lay on the ground, he recalled what happened last night, he faintly opened the purse, and then there was an infinite killing intent enveloping him, "What is in that purse, what is imprinted on my hand, and what is the black fog on my body in the end", many incomprehensible questions kept thinking in his mind, but he didn't have a clue, He could only attribute all these changes to what had fallen out of the purse.
After lying down for about half an hour, Zhou Tao felt that his body had regained some sensation, and he endured the severe pain and raised his right hand.
On Zhou Tao's right hand, five rune-like words formed a flower pattern imprinted on the palm of his palm, "What the hell is this?" At that time, it seemed that it was this brand that inspired those black gases, but what did these words mean? Yesterday, Zhou Tao, who only knew simplified and traditional Chinese characters, said that he didn't know, and he was ready to check it on the Internet in the future.
"The evil qi that surrounded me last night should be what my grandfather said, but I didn't expect what my grandfather said to be true, but where did these evil qi come from? Could it have been in my body before, but for so many years, why didn't I perceive it at all, until this thing appeared, the evil qi appeared, could it be that this mark is the key to unlock the evil qi in my body? Zhou Tao looked at the imprint on his palm and fell into deep thought, "If this is the key to unlocking the evil qi in my body, then the funeral shop owner who gave me my purse has a big problem, and he probably knows a lot", Zhou Tao decided to go to the funeral street again today and ask the boss clearly.
Time passed quietly, and after about an hour, Zhou Tao felt that the soreness in his body gradually weakened, and all parts of his body could move, he sat up with difficulty, looked around, and finally found what he was looking for in the west corner, the square thing that fell out of the purse, Zhou Tao stood up with severe pain, walked to the corner and checked the thing.
This thing is heavy in the hand, the whole body is yellow, like made of brass, and it is also embellished with this dense silver dot, which looks like a sky full of stars, this thing is about the size of a drink bottle cap, and the whole carving is the appearance of a monster sitting on the table, the appearance of this monster is very peculiar, this monster is like a lion, there are nine heads, each head has a different expression, there is a roar, quiet, false sleep, etc., the carving is very exquisite, and the bottom of the platform is exactly the same handwriting pattern as his hand.
"This little thing should be a seal, not to mention that it looks quite exquisite, this lion carving is vivid, looking at the pulp, it looks like an antique, it should be worth a lot of money", Zhou Tao took the nine lion seals and looked left and right, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything greasy, and he didn't have the feeling of fever like yesterday, and finally, Zhou Tao gritted his teeth and re-branded the words under the seal on the mark on his right hand.
"How do you use this thing? Is it disposable? Zhou Tao really couldn't understand how to use this thing, so he could only put it in the inner pocket of his clothes first.
After putting away the seal of the nine lions, Zhou Tao walked to Lao An's side and kicked it with his foot, "Hey, wake up, wake up", this old man didn't react, Zhou Tao kicked two more feet, he didn't show any mercy for these few kicks, thinking that this old man put the female ghost projection almost scared himself Zhou Tao was angry, thinking of this, he kicked a few more times, kicked Lao An Youyou, covered the place where he was kicked and shrunk into a shrimp, Zhou Tao was still angry, his feet did not stop, and he continued to kick a few feet.
"Eh, don't kick, don't kick", Lao An kept screaming.
Zhou Tao didn't stop until he was tired, then he remembered that he was still sore, he gasped and sat on the ground, looked at Lao An and said, "Hey, let me ask you, why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare me."
Lao An didn't answer Zhou Tao's question, he still held his body and screamed in pain, Zhou Tao moved over and kicked Lao An twice, "Ask you, you are deaf"
"Don't, don't kick, I said, I said it's not okay? Eh, don't kick" Lao An kept wailing, and when he said this, Zhou Tao stopped.
Zhou Tao, who was panting and pouting, stared at Lao An viciously, "Then you say, why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare me?" ”。
Lao An did seem to be kicked by me, and said with pain, "I don't mean to scare you, but anyone who comes to this room, I will scare you."
"Why? What's in it for you to be scary? Zhou Tao was puzzled.
"Uh......" Lao An hesitated.
Zhou Tao suddenly became angry, stretched out his leg and kicked Lao An again, "Let you say, you just say, what are you doing."
It is estimated that seeing that the matter of pretending to be a ghost and scary has been revealed, and there is no need to hide it, Lao An sighed, "Hey, it's a long story at this time, I used to be the chairman of a pharmaceutical company, but later because of Lao Chen's secret trouble, my company finally collapsed."
"Old Chen?" Zhou Tao interrupted Lao An's words.
"Oh, it's the owner of this villa, no, the former owner," Lao An added.
"So you got angry because of this, and in order to take revenge on Lao Chen, you killed Lao Chen's whole family?" Zhou Tao stared at Lao An with blazing eyes.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense, people are all killed by Lao Chen, what does it have to do with me, I just pretend to be a ghost and scary, and I just want the name of this murderous house to be confirmed", Lao An heard me say that he was killed, he was frightened, and hurriedly defended.
