Containment Volume 1, Punishment of the Gods
1. Punishment of the gods
When Wu Yuetian left the Lu family with his wife, he didn't enter the city again, he didn't want to enter the complicated situation, but he was concerned about the situation in the city, so he still sent someone into the city to inquire about the news.
Whether Li Gui can become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Wu Yuetian does not have the ability of this unpredictable prophet, but his skill ☯ is far above Lu Jiukong, but it is certain. With Lu Jiukong's character, he will never be tolerated. Coupled with a white Shaohu, there will be an open and secret battle between the three of them.
But he said, in the Lu Mansion.
Everyone was helpless, anxious, but they couldn't think of any way.
There are so many people, and they can't deal with a single prisoner.
Let's not talk about it, and when it spreads, there is no light on my face. If the others come, they will be done by dividing them by two, and they will definitely be dwarfs. In a fit of anger, Lu Jiukong took advantage of people's inattention to cut off Diao San's tongue ☯, and also used it to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
This morning, the discussion was fruitless.
When everyone was at a loss, suddenly a family member came to report and said, "Master Qiqi ☯, there are a group of Taoist aunts outside who want to see you." ”
Lu Jiukong was in a hurry, and when he heard this, he said impatiently: "Give them two money, and send them away." ”
"This ......" the subordinate hesitated and did not leave.
"What are you doing here, don't go quickly. Lu Jiukong scolded distraughtly.
"Yes. The subordinate answered, and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Kun again.
"Did those people say which Taoist temple they belonged to? ”
The servant replied, "They said they came from the Nine Heavens Xuannu Temple. ”
When Lu Kun heard this, he said angrily: "You minions ☯, why didn't you say it earlier." Arrange your room quickly. Nine skies, greet guests with me. ”
The servant also suffered a loss, and was scolded in vain. He was about to tell Lu Kun that the other party was from the Nine Heavens Xuannu Temple, but when he saw Lu Jiukong's ☯ face, he didn't dare to say anything further.
Li Gui and the others were welcomed in by everyone, but when they came to the hall, Li Gui found that everyone's faces were wrong.
Originally, Lu Jiukong, Bai Shaohu, and Li Gui were competitors. It's normal to not have a good face for each other, but the other party's eyes don't look like hostility to opponents, but hatred towards people.
This is strange, although Li Gui and the two of them are competitors, it is not an exaggeration to be hostile to each other, but it is not to the point of hatred. Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu are also competitors, but the hatred in their eyes is the same person. Could it be that the two of them had formed an alliance before they came, and that is why they hated him together now?
Li Gui thought so, so he decided to find a time to show ☯ his heart. Although he participated in the competition of the martial arts alliance leader, he had no intention of gaining or losing, so the other party did not need to target him like this.
In response to such a situation for him, at the beginning of the list of candidates, there was indeed one.
But now it's different, people think that the current candidates were assassinated ☯ by the evil martial arts, all of which were caused by Li Gui and Lixin. Under the fingers of people in the rivers and lakes, his reputation has been greatly damaged.
Li Gui's reputation is not as good as before, and it is unlikely that he will become the leader of the martial arts alliance, so why would the two of them still target him so much. Thinking of this, the Dao aunts who followed Li Gui were unhappy.
Seeing that the faces of the two were not good-looking, I felt that everyone who came was angry. That Lu Kun was busy making peace, and he expressed the distress of everyone in the past few days.
Originally, Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu's unprecedented alliance was to wipe out these killers ☯. It is also good to be in front of the heroes of the world, distinguished in front of people, and win respect. At that time, those who were also competing for the leaders of the martial arts alliance were a little shorter in front of them.
But now that Li Gui is here, seeing that they are busy but have found nothing, he doesn't want to do anything, just laugh at it. And the later it gets, the more people laugh at it, and the laughter becomes more and more mean. Thinking of this, where did they get their good faces.
After listening to Lu Kun's story, Li Gui's face was also a little heavy.
He had grown up in Taoist temples since he was a child, and he had no interest in secular battles. The reason why he wants to become the leader of the martial arts alliance is just to create a peaceful river and lake for the world with his own strength. It's just that he didn't think that once the rivers and lakes were truly peaceful, they would still be rivers and lakes, and they would just be a pool of stagnant water.
Of course, Li Gui didn't think about this, because he had this heart, and the whole Xuannu would support him.
In the face of the recent killing of the candidate, Li Gui seems to be particularly concerned. The rumors of the rivers and lakes also reached his ears, and he was also very self-blaming, and even had the idea of quitting the competition. It's just that he can't, he can't let down the people who support him behind him, they have already done so much for him.
If there is a choice between catching ☯ the murderer and being elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance, I believe that Li Gui will not hesitate to choose the former. It's just that he is burdened by his identity as a competitor in the martial arts alliance, and he has no time to track down the mastermind ☯ behind the scenes.
Although Li Gui is very knowledgeable, he is not very good at doing ☯ things in the rivers and lakes.
Now he learned that one of the murderers who assassinated many candidates for the leadership of the martial arts alliance had been caught ☯, although he was not the mastermind ☯, and he didn't necessarily know much about the inside ☯ story, but he could always find some clues, and the matter was a little eyebrow-raising.
But this is also where he made a difficulty, Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu tried all kinds of methods, needless to say, they were all extremely cruel ☯ methods, but they couldn't get the slightest clue from Diao San's mouth ☯, what good way could he do.
For those methods of coercing confessions, Li Gui, who has always been kind-hearted, really can't use them. If he saw Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu tortured ☯ to extract confessions, he would even stop them.
At this point, we have to wait for someone else. There are so many people and so many ideas, maybe there's really something to do.
But Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu can't wait, they still torture ☯ Diao San every day, but they retain his ability to act, so that he still has hope for life. Whenever he saw Lu Jiukong or Bai Shaohu going to the dungeon, Li Gui wanted to stop it. But every time, he was stopped by his fellow ☯ senior ☯ sister.
Although these people are the same generation as Li Gui, they are more than ten or twenty years older than him, and they have seen and experienced more than Li Gui. They knew that Li Gui couldn't stop those people, and if they insisted on doing so, they would be surrounded by other people's words ☯.
It is impossible for Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu to give up coercing confessions, and it is impossible for Diao San to confess. And Li Gui really didn't want to see such a cruel ☯ thing happen, so he had to come up with a way. Not only for martial arts, but also for Diao San.
Finally, he came up with a solution, a solution that was not a way, not even a way, but a helplessness.
It's like a terminally ill patient, whose pain is constantly tormenting. The doctor who treated him had only two options: either he could watch the patient suffer until he died. Either the patient is prescribed a strong drug, and the patient will be comfortable for a while, but once the time passes, the patient will die instantly.
The doctor is to heal the sick and save people, and he can't let him watch his patients suffer. The doctor treats the sick for the living, and if he is asked to choose the second method and end the patient's life early, he will not be able to do it......
What makes Li Gui entangled now is whether to use the second method.
Since then, the care of ☯ Diao San ☯ is no longer so strict, although he still has bracelets on his hands and shackles on his feet, he has risen several levels in food, drink and housing.
Diao San knew that he didn't have any good results, so he ate what he should eat, drank what he should drink, and used the best clothes and quilts. He didn't have to worry about someone else drugging his food ☯, because his own tongue ☯ had been cut off at the impulse of others.
Although the guards ☯ were ostensibly loose, the surveillance ☯ of him was never reduced. In order to prevent the recovery of his strength ☯ from suddenly becoming difficult, everyone also took action to seal the rest of his strength ☯ ☯.
Although Diao San also wants to open it now, he still has to think about it.
It's not uncommon for people to be entertained with delicious food and drink like this, but they can't last for two or three days, and Lu Jiukong will come angrily to punch ☯ ☯ ☯ and kick him. Before his tongue ☯ was cut, he enjoyed food and clothing for several days.
But this time is different, it has been more than ten days now, and the good food, drink and hospitality are just ignoring him. The previous injuries have almost recovered, what will happen next, Diao San can't think of a reason.
He could only stay in this place to survive.
Although every day is full of big fish ☯ and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas, but somehow, today's food tastes very good, and the wine is also very strong.
Just as Diao San was finished and was about to rest, he suddenly felt a breath in the dantian ☯.
It made him feel very wrong.
Originally, people who practice martial arts practice a breath inside, and practice muscles and bones outside, and that breath is the qi of dantian ☯.
But Diao San didn't, as early as when he was captured, he had already sealed the true power in his body ☯. Later, after Lu Kun and Bai Tieying took action, he can no longer use his true power by himself.
But this time it was different, not only was the true power surging in the body ☯, pushing the true power to unravel ☯ the sealed acupoints ☯ around ☯ the body ☯, but even the meridians that had not broken through during the previous practice ☯ were also opened.
A situation like this is a dream of people in the martial arts, but for Diao San, this thing must never happen.
It's not that he doesn't want to make a breakthrough in martial arts, but he already feels that his current true power is uncontrollable ☯ at all, and there is a tendency to intensify, which is obviously carefully planned by the other party. If this continues, he will show his martial arts without reservation, and the characteristics of his skills ☯ will also be unreservedly revealed.
Now even if he breaks his muscles and veins, it will not help, the other party can not only infer his martial arts from his muscles and veins and the current situation of his body ☯, but he may not die immediately after breaking his muscles and veins.
Thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways and went out to kill. Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. If you are lucky ☯ enough to escape, you will find a place where no one will kill yourself, so as not to be seen as dead.
Thinking of this, he exerted ☯ all his limbs, and the chains on his hands and legs were immediately shattered, and he rushed out without looking at the road ahead.
After breaking through three walls, Diao San finally came outside the house.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, so Diao San, who came out of the dim prison, did not have anything uncomfortable.
In the past, the door of the Lu family was knocked on a few times, and many people would come forward to ask what was going on. And now, there is such a big movement that three walls have been broken, but not many people have come. To be precise, there were already four people waiting for Diao San to break through the wall.
These four people are: Bai Tieying, Lu Kun, Lu Jiukong, and Bai Shaohu.
Among them, there is no Li Gui who has just arrived, maybe he has some disdain for his behavior, he can't bear to be surrounded by everyone.
The grandfathers and grandsons of the Lu family held swords in their hands, while the uncles and nephews of the Bai family were still empty-handed, looking a little bloated in winter cotton clothes, and the air around them was extremely cold.
Diao San here, his ☯ body is hotter than fire, and the cold air of the Bai family's uncle and nephew has not yet reached Diao San's body ☯, and it has instantly turned from cold to water vapor.
"Divine Formula"
The first to exclaim was Lu Kun. He was the oldest of the four and had the most knowledge. As soon as he saw the changes in Diao San's body ☯, he knew the martial arts he had practiced.
In the martial arts, the most difficult martial arts to practice are the "Life and Death Against the Sky", "Death and Life Robbery", "Anti-Heaven Classic", "Absolute Yin Gong", and "Spending the Sun Like a Year" in the Forbidden Chapter of Martial Arts. Any of these martial arts is one of them, and even if Tianzong is only able to practice it, there will be great sequelae.
And the martial arts, which are ranked after the forbidden chapter of martial arts, if you want to practice and achieve something, you need the guidance of famous teachers and talent.
But there are also some martial arts that are extremely difficult to practice, and what is required is not talent, but hard practice. For example, the "Golden Bell Jar" of the Shaolin Temple and the "Kaishan Boxing" of the Shengong family. And the "Divine Punishment Technique" that Diao San practiced is also a divine skill that requires strong willpower to cultivate ☯.
Survival is a very difficult thing. As the so-called "natural selection, survival of the fittest", if you want to survive in the world, in addition to reproduction, you must ensure that you live first.
But some creatures are inherently weak, and if they want to survive, they must have a survival skill. For example, ants are extremely capable of reproduction, chameleons are good at camouflage, and lions and tigers are extremely brave.
But one of the best ways to survive is to use poison, with poison, other creatures will not dare to invade you, but you can ☯ easily destroy the enemy and take the food.
Lao ☯ Tzu's Taoist ☯ scriptures have clouds: "The Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the people are also great." There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. ”
Man is the spirit of all things, can imitate all things in the world, and can also make good use of all kinds of strange poisons.
There are many ways to use poison, some people are good at poisoning, and some people are good at using poisonous hidden weapons. But these methods also have one thing in common, which is to kill ☯ people with poison. But you must know that all things are mutually reinforcing, and if you have a poison, I will have a solution. If you only blindly poison ☯ others, you will often be unsatisfactory and even harm yourself.
As a result, some people combined poison and martial arts, and all kinds of poisonous palms came out. What's more, like Tang Sect, Miao Men and other drug-using families, there is also an evil skill that practices the whole body from the inside to the outside to be extremely poisonous.
And all kinds of poisonous palms were also integrated and transformed into a miracle skill by a martial arts stranger - "Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms".
On the day of success, the strange man challenged all kinds of masters who became famous for their poisonous palms. As a result, none of them were defeated, and since then, most of the poisonous palms in the world have disappeared.
Although this "Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms" can be said to be the best in the world, what does it have to do with Lu Kun's ☯ "Punishment of the Gods". Diao San is now like a tiger out of the cage, can everyone resist it? Li Gui, who was not at the scene, used what method to make him feel guilty?
