Chapter 533: Foolproof
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhuge Chen stood up tremblingly, came to Chitose's side, and asked softly: "What the hell is going on, it should be the killer who sneaked into the house with some dirty things in the dark and windy night last night, right?"
Zuo Yichun raised his eyebrows and said, "Zi Bu said the truth of strange power and confusion, why don't you understand it when you are so old?" Besides, even if you are not an immortal monk, but after following Chitose for so long, will you still be afraid of the lonely soul and wild ghost that is like a virtual form?"
For the timid white clothes in his eyes, the reason why he doesn't have a good impression is actually a coincidence. Zuo Yichun, who was still a penniless down-and-out scholar, met a young lady by chance and fell in love. It's a pity that Miss Qianjin was born in a family, and there are not only many rules, but also she has to pay attention to a right person first. He is a poor boy who has no merit and fame and fortune, and is still 108,000 miles away from obtaining three yuan, and wants to get what he wants, which is the real wishful thinking. Although Zuo Yichun was very clear about this matter in his heart, in the final analysis, he was unwilling to give up. It seems that as long as he lowers his head, he will not be Zuo Yichun anymore. The sage book in my hand is tasteless to read, and it is a pity to abandon it.
knew that he set up a stall in the downtown to write for people to make money, and took this pitiful savings to go away, and after taking back the Xiucai fame, the daughter of the young lady had already married a wife. And Miss Qianjin's husband is a famous family in Zuo Yichun's hometown, and his appearance is three points similar to Zhuge Chen.
Zuo Yichun knew that he was hostile to a white-clothed junior just because of this, so he was really cautious. But every time he didn't wait for himself to change his mind, as long as he saw Zhuge Chen's face that was always smiling, he was a little annoyed.
Here Zhuge Chen closed his mouth stupidly, retreated behind Chitose, and heard Qingyue comforting him: "Don't put it on you, Zuo Yichun's predecessor is like this, the knife mouth tofu heart." In the entire Dream Country, it is famous. ”
Zhuge Chen replied with a wry smile: "If this is really the case, it would be good." ”
Now he is indeed not an immortal monk, but this does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, it is still exquisite, thinking about things is like playing chess, and if you take one step, you will often have already thought about the next five moves. Otherwise, if you get along with these immortal monks who are like gods all day long, if a catastrophe really comes one day, if you don't think too much, the first person to die will only be yourself.
But for Zuo Yichun, the white clothes actually don't matter. These behaviors are no different from white eyes in the market, but he doesn't pay much attention to them. After all, it's better to die than to live, and if you can't let go of yourself because of such a trivial matter, then it's a real little belly. Besides, Zuo Yichun is, after all, a scholar who can make friends with his respected Chitose peers, what can he do? Just listen to the teachings honestly. What's more, what Zuo Yichun said was not for his good, but the words were ugly.
After thinking about this, Zhuge Chen smiled again. Zuo Yichun glanced at it, spit out a breath of turbidity, inadvertently clenched his fists, and whispered in his heart: It still takes some thought to suppress the urge to beat this kid to death!
Thanks to this, the meaning was not seen by Zhuge Chen, otherwise the sun would set today, and Zhuge Chen would have slipped out of the mansion and run to the bottom of the mountain, regardless of the torrential rain. It doesn't matter if he is haunted by demons and monsters in the mountains, it is better than staying in the mansion and being scared and unable to sleep at night.
And Chitose just chuckled and didn't say much. However, he still walked to the well, looked at the dry bones in the well, and frowned, because he smelled a trace of the past, and the whole person straightened his back like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he was really old and strong.
I don't know how many years have passed, and Chitose, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and "listened to the government", has not been as vigilant as today, standing by the well and rewinding in time, and everything has returned to the year, in the mountain rain that was almost dead.
......
It was the fifth year that Chitose had worn the scarlet robe he was wearing today, and a strange thing happened in a small village on the edge of the water town, a month of dead people one after another, and all of them were young and strong men, coinciding with the autumn harvest season, if the murderer hidden behind the scenes was not caught, I am afraid that the harvest of the entire village would be greatly reduced. When such a thing happened, Chitose would of course take it to heart, and not only immediately mobilized a few secret agents in the imperial court, but even himself. It's just that he didn't tell anyone about it. Instead, he rode his horse overnight and hurried to the village.
After arriving there, Chitose first went to great lengths to get a fake identity, then bought a house with a small yard, and lived in the village for a while. He thought that he would be able to bring the murderer to justice quickly, but the other party was extremely cautious, and only a few spies came here to make the other party stop shooting. As a last resort, Chitose could only issue an order to let those court spies return to the court first, while he stayed here. If there is still no trace of the murderer after a month, he will also return to the court and continue to face Chitose who seems to be under one person but is actually above tens of thousands of people.
However, on the night when the spy returned to the court, the night was dark and windy, and the clouds were dark and there was no moonlight. Chitose heard a gentle knock on the door, and went to the nave, where he sat down in a chair and waited for the unknown man. There is no need to guess, the only one who can find the door at this time will be the murderer. I just don't know if he's fearless or stupid.
Chitose clenched his fists and let out a sigh to allow himself to relax so that the punch that followed could go unimpeded.
The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, but no one was visible, probably because the murderer was hiding behind the door and wanted to test it.
"It's all here, why don't you come out to see you?" Chitose said slowly.
There was silence all around, and no one answered, so Chitose continued: "With this little ability, you dare to learn from someone to come out and commit murder?"
"I just want to come and see what kind of person that Chitose sama from Dream Country is. As for the verbal agitation, Chitose is still exempt. The murderer's hoarse voice came, sounding as if it came from the underworld, which made people shudder: "Actually, you shouldn't have come here, it's not good to be honest in front of your own Chitose in front of your own court? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Chitose could speak, he saw an icicle that had come behind the chair where Chitose was sitting. All I could hear was the sound of the wind whizzing through the nave, and the scarlet robe was pierced.
The killer chuckled and walked out from behind the wooden door, his features twisted together, and the smell of decay exuded from his body above and below. He can no longer be called a "human", if he is placed in the eyes of an ascetic, he is a demon who escaped from purgatory and came to the world to make trouble. And the murderer who harmed the village belongs to this category.
The goblin grinned, revealing its scarlet fangs, and as customary, it walked into the nave, intending to come to the chair and suck Chitose's blood dry. It was in this way that the young men who disappeared in those villages died, and became their nourishment. At this moment, it can't wait, as long as it can turn Chitose into its own food, the yang energy obtained is enough for him to survive in the world for more than two hundred years. And after such a long time, will it still be afraid of the lack of yang energy?
Of course not!
At that time, it would be the strongest person in the Dream Country, even if it was resurrected and the five top immortal cultivators joined forces, I am afraid it would not be its one enemy. What's more, that Qingshan Dao man, it is rumored that he made a lot of deals with its ghosts, so he will be reborn so quickly and ascend to the sky, and he will naturally not stand on the opposite side of himself when the time comes.
Just as the goblin was immersed in a beautiful vision of the future, the scarlet robe on the chair disappeared at some point, and by the time the goblin looked at it, Chitose was already standing in front of it, his hands clenched into fists, his finger joints crackling, and with a single punch, it shattered its hard-earned face.
The goblin was furious at the moment, but he was even more surprised at how Chitose could survive the siege of Fang Cai's icicles. You must know that it is no better than those young people in the rivers and lakes, and in addition to being ruthless, it has long abandoned "human nature". Then there is only one possibility left, and Chitose has never looked at it from beginning to end. From Chitose ordering the court spies to leave, to sitting on the chair in the middle hall, everything was a means to lure the snake out of the hole, and he was fooled.
The ghost, whose face was destroyed, but was not injured, simply tore off the remaining half of its face, it roared, and then said: "It seems that Chitose, who is far-sighted, really has a mind to eat me. ”
Chitose smiled slightly, but did not speak. And the fist is already roaring. With the little hardships he had suffered before, where did the ghost dare to make a move by Chitose, and came to the middle hall cleanly, standing in the small courtyard and raising his arm, slowly hooking his little finger. That seems to be a provocation to Chitose, and you just let the horse come.
Chitose naturally can't be so rash, he has always had only one criterion for doing things, and that is foolproof!
At some point, a strong wind blew up the hem of Chitose's scarlet robe, revealing the five gold stripes.
When the ghost saw it, it was like a great enemy, and he scolded like crazy: "You bastard, how can you have a gold pattern in your hand?!"
Chitose, who didn't know that the golden stripe was extremely lethal to ghosts, said, "Do you need to tell you about this? But if I hadn't seen you so afraid, I'm afraid I wouldn't have used the power of the golden stripe." ”
The ghost knew that he had said the wrong thing in his panic, but the golden lines in his eyes were getting closer and closer, and it also knew that it had only one way to die today, so it simply smashed its entire body and released the billions of unjust souls hidden in it.
"Chitose, I'm dead, don't think about it......" As its words fell, the light on the golden veins rose sharply. Under its illumination, the ghosts melted away like spring snow.
And the vicious curse left by the ghost was indeed fulfilled in Chitose's body next. On his back, there was a black brand, and if you looked closely, it was an indescribable creature that opened its bloody mouth and threw itself towards the heart. Since then, Chitose has been suffering from pain every rainy summer season, and only by fitting the gold veins to her body can she relieve the pain and not lie on the bed and toss and turn. This is also why Chitose will leave the imperial court for a while and go to the dry areas of the north to recuperate.
And at this moment, beside this dry well, he felt a faint pain in his back again, how could this not make him frightened? Just for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone please stay away from the dry well, this house is probably not as simple as we think!"
The barefoot monk also said: "I have the same feeling as Chitose, this disgusting aura, I am all too familiar! ”
In this mansion, the sun that was originally shining brightly seems to be shrouded in layers of haze at this moment, for some reason. The first to retreat was Zhuge Chen, and Qingyue followed closely to protect Bai Yi step by step, for fear that he would be attacked by ghosts. After all, among several people, he is the only one who is unarmed, and even when he meets a stronger man, he is likely to be helpless.
It's just that Zhuge Chen hasn't figured out a little bit, why it is the old man who is in the dry well and is reduced to bones. Not to mention that last night, the two of them were still drinking and talking like a New Year's friend, and only said those insightful words spoken by each other, which are really not tolerated by the world?
"Chitose Senpai...... Are you ......"
Before Zhuge Chen finished saying this, he heard Zuo Yichun speak: "Boy, there are still few things you have walked and things you have seen, don't jump to conclusions." In the face of the ghosts who are the best at demagoguery, the most defensible thing should be their own state of mind. If you only rely on your own one-sided understanding to determine a dead reason, you are really going to die, but you can't blame others. ”
When Zhuge Chen heard this, he quickly silenced him.
"Without the gold vein, you people are not in my bag?" At this moment, a cold voice came from the sky above the mansion.
Although it was noisy with a loud noise, Zhuge Chen could still hear that the sound was eight or nine points similar to the old man's. It seems that it is really as Chitose said, this old house in the mountains hides a lot of secrets. Just walking through the Feather Terrace, this new world is not only not a pure land, but there are ghosts waiting for the rabbit.
Jiang Wang scolded the old man, clapped his hands, and immediately stood up from the side of the pond, looked up at the sky, and said with a hearty smile: "Lao Tzu has joined the army over the years, and has killed more barbarians from the north and south, but few ghosts have been killed. Over the years, he has been pampered in the imperial court, and he has lived impatiently like a rich man, which is really not happy! Why don't you get down and let Lao Tzu have a good time?"
"As you wish!" the black mist condensed, gradually converging in the courtyard to take on the appearance of an old man. It's just that he looked at Zhuge Chen, smiled weirdly and said, "It's a lot...... Young man, for the sake of the face of drinking with me last night, you will go down the mountain and escape first?"
Zhuge Chen, whose eyes were erratic, scolded secretly, and finally hardened, and said, "Get out of your mother!"
I didn't see the old man getting angry, but laughed: "It's worthy of you." ”
And in the time of one person, one ghost, and one word, the four Chitose have already attacked head-on. Although there is no gold pattern in everyone's hands now, the barefoot monk who was born as an ascetic and has reached the pinnacle on this road naturally has other methods. The four of them glanced at each other, spoke in their hearts, and immediately confirmed that the barefoot monk was the main attacker.
But in the face of the siege of the four, the old man was able to prevent a drop of water, and he still had the strength to laugh and said: "Why don't the old man use only one hand to play with you?"
It flicked the pitch-black smoke in front of it, took a step, introduced it, and in a blink of an eye, it came to Zuo Yichun's side, and punched out, forcing the gray-eyed scholar to retreat ten steps away. Then he repeated his old tricks and fought with the remaining three, and even had a lot of upper hand. Then it returned to its original position and commented on the four people: "Is this a scholar? The military general who called himself Lao Tzu was lazy with his fists and feet, and the shelves were loose, and I thought it was the old lady stretching her muscles after dinner. Behind the monk's head, there was no golden light, but it was pitch black, just like me. As for the scarlet robed Chitose, hahaha, is it true that a mere eunuch deserves this title?
Ghosts are good at grinding people's minds, and what Zuo Yichun said is true. All he said was the sore spot of the four people. However, the four of them did not panic, because as early as Fang Cai, the old man had already stepped into the real siege.
A golden rune rose into the sky, shaped into a flying dragon, and swept across the sky, which was the golden vein. Several people used to be the owners of the gold pattern, even if the gold pattern is not on the body now, but the joint force is still able to rely on the remaining breath to make the gold pattern reappear. Even if it is far inferior to the golden pattern, it is still not difficult to kill the old man here.
Seeing the golden rune, the old man's right eyebrow throbbed, and now he knew what a stupid act he was to be so big. Under the golden vein, its body gradually disintegrated, but it did not give up, and even roared on its back, devouring all the maids in the house who were also ghosts, and exchanged for the endless troubles in exchange for a short period of strength. The next moment, it broke through the cage made of golden runes with an unstoppable attitude, and rushed towards Zhuge Chen.
Qingyue desperately moved forward, but was indeed pushed away by the old man and smashed heavily on the ground.
At this moment, the four Chitose were also exhausted, and they didn't have time to come and save Bai Yi. The old man laughed wildly, as if his original target was Zhuge Chen: "Come with me, go to a place where there is really no pain!"
In this bewilderment, Zhuge Chen's eyes gradually became confused. And when the old man was about to grab him, he saw a cold sword qi swept by, and behind the white clothes, there were still white clothes standing with their hands covered, and only a long sword pierced the nine heavens, which also made the old man disappear.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhuge Chen, who seemed to have finally regained his memory, hooked the corners of his mouth, revealed his trademark smile and said: "It's really foolproof!"
