Chapter 18: Reckoning
At noon, Gu Changqing made a simple lunch at Hu San's house, which was still chili sauce with white rice.
He ate two large bowls in one go.
"It's still spicy to feel fragrant. ”
The fasting rice eaten in Taiyiguan in the morning, although the taste is excellent, but it is salty and light, which is related to Xu Hanshan's many years of wandering, his taste is different from the locals, and he can't eat spicy.
Gu Changqing looked at Hu San after eating, but saw that he only moved a few bites of a bowl of rice.
"If you go on like this, you will starve to death, people are iron and rice is steel. ”
"You've eaten so well, is this really the last meal?"
Gu Changqing laughed and said, "If he is ruthless, won't I be the last one?"
Hu San showed a complicated expression and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Gu Changqing said: "Just think of it as gambling, buy big and buy small, it depends on luck." ”
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Changqing took out a pen, inkstone, cinnabar and yellow paper from his satchel.
From Taiyiguan, he deliberately brought these things with him.
He lay on the ground, picked up the pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to sketch on the yellow paper.
With the help of God, he drew two spiritual runes in one go.
Looking up at the window, it was getting dark, and all I could see was pitch black in the distance.
He couldn't have imagined that these two spirit runes had taken him so long.
Not only that, but these two spirit runes also consumed a full fifty points of his mana.
Gu Changqing looked at the mana balance in his mind and frowned suddenly.
Since he finished copying the Heavenly Dao Qing Shen Rune, his mana balance was ninety-two points, and then he used the Nine Rank Spell Soul Chasing Technique again, which consumed thirty-two points of mana, plus the two spirit runes in his hand now, now his mana balance is only ten points.
Ten points of mana were only enough for him to play a nine-grade spell on the Qingfu Magic.
After drawing the talisman, he took off the satchel, took the wooden Dao urn in his hand, and then stuffed the pen, inkstone, cinnabar, and the remaining yellow paper into the bag, and stuffed a talisman into it.
Then, while taking off the black robe on his body, he shouted loudly: "Okay, you Hu San, I came to persuade you with good intentions, you don't know how to lift, if you want to go down the river, go down the river and follow your wife to become a sacrifice of the fox demon." ”
At the same time, the people who were watching not far from Hu San's house couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard the voice, and sighed in their hearts: "Hu San, Hu San, don't be obsessed, otherwise you will harm the whole village." ”
The voice in Hu San's house suddenly increased, as if two people were arguing.
"You Taoist priest who has no heart, do you know what the love of husband and wife is?"
"I don't understand, but I know that no matter what I do, I have to think twice, and I can't harm the whole village because of one person. ”
", I don't want to see you again!"
The person who was watching pricked up his ears and listened, thinking that this Taoist priest was really boring, if Hu San could listen to the persuasion, would he still need me to stare here?
Now it's okay, not only to quarrel, but also to move!
Listening to the excitement of staring, it is not a big deal.
Not long after, a young man wearing a Taoist robe and a satchel on his shoulder snatched out of Hu San's house and ran all the way out of the village.
Seeing this, he shook his head and smiled in his heart: "Why bother!"
As the night deepened, the lights in Hujiagou went out one after another, and the village was silent.
The stalker clenched his arms in the night wind.
It's so fucking tired, I don't want to do this kind of thing in my life after staring at tonight.
Looking up at Hu Sanjia, he could directly see the mourning hall from the open door.
The light of the mourning hall is still there, and a rickety figure in mourning clothes sits there in the center, like a statue.
Staring shook his head and sighed: "Hu San, you just boil it, if you want to die young, go on like this!"
He tried his best to restrain his sleepiness, which was as heavy as a mountain, but a gust of wind blew, and his upper and lower eyelids closed uncontrollably.
Just as he was sleeping, a figure appeared in front of Hu San's house.
He walked in like a ghost, and the door slammed shut.
Slowly walking to the front of the mourning hall, he suddenly stopped and turned around to leave.
"Why don't you sit down and talk?
The people in the mourning hall turned around with a sly smile.
"Is that you?"
"Isn't that what you're looking for?"
Under the lights, that face was Gu Changqing.
However, at this time, Gu Changqing was wearing Hu San's clothes.
Gu Changqing looked at the man who was shrouded in black fog and called out his name indifferently.
"Hu Shuntang. ”
The black mist receded instantly, revealing Hu Shuntang's figure.
Hu Shuntang walked into the mourning hall, and with a slight lift of his hand, the door closed automatically.
He looked at Gu Changqing for a long time before he said, "It's really unimaginable that an ant like you dares to argue with me?"
Gu Changqing smiled and said, "It's true that I'm an ant, but it's much better than some people with beast hearts." ”
"Looks like you really want to be my enemy!"
"I'm actually very curious, you know that I took in the water ghost, but you are indifferent, are you really not afraid of the matter being revealed?"
Hu Shuntang's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Joke, what am I afraid of being exposed?"
"Don't pretend," Gu Changqing stood up, pointed at the other party, and then at himself, "You and I are both cultivators, and everyone knows the nine-rank spell of soul chasing." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I used soul chasing on the water ghost, and I saw the scene before she died, and before she died, a man with a giant sword was angrily scolding her. ”
When Hu Shuntang heard this, he nodded and said, "So you thought that person was me, and then you walked around the village to spread rumors and force me to show up." ”
Gu Changqing stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and said, "No, when you appeared here, what I said to the villagers was no longer a rumor, it was the truth. The truth is that you and the fox demon killed the water ghost. ”
"Ridiculous!" Hu Shuntang's face turned pale, "I am a disciple of Emei, how could I be in the company of a fox demon, and how could I kill a person who I have never met?"
"You'll have to ask yourself. ”
Hu Shuntang looked at Gu Changqing in silence for a moment, and then said, "What is your purpose?"
"Complete the obsession of the water ghost. ”
"What's her obsession?"
"Revenge. ”
"How to get revenge?"
"Kill you, and the fox demon. ”
"It's up to you?" Hu Shuntang's eyes were cold.
"You are a Jiupin Daoist," Gu Changqing said with a sarcastic smile, "and I'm just a layman who has just received a false pot, so naturally I can't kill you." ”
"Then you dare to make a big deal about it?"
Gu Changqing smiled again: "Sometimes you don't have to do it yourself to kill people, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has a royal law, and Taoist priests who break the law have their own Taoist priests to handle it." ”
When Hu Shuntang heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"If it's really as you said, it was me who killed that person with the fox demon, and now that you know the truth, do I want to kill you?"
Hu Shuntang nodded his head with his hand, and said: "As long as I kill you, no one will ever know the truth." ”
Gu Changqing showed a smile that was really like this, stretched out his right hand, slowly spread it out, and in his palm, a spirit talisman lay peacefully.
When Hu Shuntang saw this, his face changed greatly.
Gu Changqing said with a little playfulness: "You are an authentic nine-rank Taoist priest, you won't not know this spirit rune, right?"
"From the time you entered the door to the present, don't you wonder why I am wearing Hu San's clothes, and why is Hu San missing?"
Speaking of this, Hu Shuntang gradually calmed down and looked at Gu Changqing coldly.
"Hu Shuntang, I spent a lot of money to buy this 'Mi Talisman', you also know that the Mi Syn Talisman is the Son and Mother Talisman, and this one in my hand is the Son Talisman, as for the Mother Talisman, I believe you have already guessed who it is in its hands. ”
In fact, the Mi note was drawn by Gu Changqing for an afternoon, and the reason why he said that he bought it with money was just because he didn't want to expose his secret.
The Miyin Talisman is a nine-rank spirit rune, and he, a person who has just received a false urn, is impossible to draw a nine-rank spirit rune according to common sense, so he can only say so.
Hu Shuntang suddenly closed his eyes, and at this moment, Gu Changqing felt that Hu Shuntang had a strong killing intent.
"So, Hu San is holding the mother talisman in the Dao Gong Division at the moment?"
