Although the "hidden weapon network" deployed by Chang Youfeng is menacing, in fact, in Huang Donglai's eyes, it is nothing more than that.
Huang Donglai is the young master of Huangmen after all. How to deal with hidden weapons is a basic skill he has practiced since he was a child. Not to mention that he still has weapons on his body, even with bare hands, he still has ways to deal with this kind of weapons. Condition.
At that moment, Huang Donglai immediately took half a step sideways and kicked Sun Yixie, who was lying on the ground, to a safe place in the corner. Then he drew his sword and spun up. .
Huangmen Qinggong is known for its ability to dodge and move around, and combined with the blocking of weapons... Even if the hidden weapons come quickly and densely, like the strong wind carrying fallen leaves, Huang Donglai can still shuttle through them. , let's have a "no leaf touching the body".
Chang Youfeng, who retreated to the blind spot of the hidden weapon network, thought that Huang Donglai would definitely die from this attack, but unexpectedly the opponent rushed towards him in the blink of an eye.
In panic, Chang Youfeng quickly mobilized his inner strength and waved the eight steel needles between his fingers to face the enemy.
Although his "Scorpion Chi Eight Breaks" is a second-rate martial arts, it is due to the fact that it is paired with an uncommon and unpopular weapon, coupled with the deterrent effect brought by "the weapons are poisonous" , it cannot be said that it is easy to deal with.
But this... is only generally speaking.
Huang Donglai didn't care about this. The threat of "poison" was almost non-existent to him. Moreover, now that he saw Sun Yixie lying on the ground with his life and death unknown, he felt anxious and angry, so he took action. without reservation.
His sword attack was not very clever, but it used all the skills gained from his adventures and training so far.
This sword, not to mention Chang Youfeng, would not be able to stop it even if it were a first-rate master.
The Chang Youfeng in front of him was not a first-rate master to begin with. Like his junior sister Mo Zhiyu, his martial arts skills were only second-rate. He only relied on techniques such as using poison, disguising himself, and setting traps to make people more powerful. Fearful; in addition, the position he is standing in is a blind spot, with no room to dodge at all, and his ending is also expected...
Ping Ping Ping Ping——
Pfft—— —
In that moment, the sharp edge of the village sword broke through several steel needles blocking the way and plunged into Chang Youfeng's heart.
Chang Youfeng died on the spot before he even had time to marvel at the difference in skill between himself and his opponent.
Like countless people who have traveled and disappeared from the world, Chang Youfeng once left his name here. He also had his own story, but...he This life, in other people's stories, becomes just a move, a sword, or a corpse.
And his name will soon be forgotten by people, as if he never existed.
…………
After stabbing Chang Youfeng to death, Huang Donglai did not let down his guard.
Because he was not sure that there was only one person ambushing them, nor was he sure whether there were traps in other places besides the inn lobby.
So, he still tensed up his nerves, fully opened his ears, and held his breath to check if there was any other movement in the darkness.
It was during this process that he discovered something very bad - Sun Yixie on the ground had no heartbeat or breathing.
"No way..." After Huang Donglai realized Brother Sun's condition, he quickly moved over and checked the latter's breath and pulse.
Unfortunately, the result is still the same...
Because the right cheek of the talented Sun Yixie was directly stabbed by Chang Youfeng's "scorpion needle", the fierce poison immediately spread from the wound. It spread to the brain not far away, which caused him to die of poison in a very short period of time.
Even if Huang Donglai had a way to detoxify, he would still be unable to save himself when faced with a corpse.
"Is this... really dead?" At this time, Huang Donglai was also confused. Seeing the "brother of two generations" die so suddenly in front of him, he didn't even know what emotions to use for a moment. Got it, just stayed there, motionless.
Speaking of this "Fudo"...
I think all of you readers should also have an impression that the head of the Xuanqi Sect, "Fudozi", is also Miaoyin. Zi's senior brother, Huang Donglai's senior uncle... He is a person who can figure things out.
Whether it was when Miaoyinzi went to Lanruo Temple to slay demons and save people, or when Huang Donglai came down from the mountain to help Sun Yixie "survive the calamity of death", they all followed his instructions.
Since Fuzi has figured out everything, it’s obvious... there is still a turn for the better now.
"Huh?" Just when Huang Donglai was in a daze, suddenly, he saw a little turbid red light shining in the dark environment.
The light source was not elsewhere, but within Sun Yixie's lapel.
Surprised, Huang Donglai touched it almost instinctively, and found a red object slightly larger than an egg in Sun Yixie's arms...
"This is..." Huang Donglai took this item in his hand and immediately remembered that this was the item that Miao Yinzi gave to Sun Yixie when he was at Lanruo Temple. Save your life” stuff.
As a person who cherishes his life like gold and is like a tortoise in times of danger, Sun Yixie naturally followed Miaoyinzi’s warning of “can’t leave him from now on”—for nearly a year, During that time, whether he was taking a bath, sleeping or going to the latrine, Brother Sun never forgot to take this thing with him.
There is no doubt that this thing will come in handy right now.
So what exactly is this?
The book here says that this is a magic weapon made from the stillborn fetus of the "Ghost Car", called "Shou Po".
The "ghost car" here refers specifically to a kind of demon bird. You want to ask what a bird's stillbirth looks like...Have you ever seen a hairy egg? That's probably what it means.
Huang Donglai originally didn't know what the purpose of this thing was, but when he saw the soul-guarding spirit light up, he guessed something with his "Tao power".
“That’s it!” Huang Donglai reactedNot too slow, after seeing this change, he understood...Brother Sun can still be saved.
After calming down, Huang Donglai put the Shou Po into his arms, and then he didn't care about whether there were any other dangers nearby. He turned around and rushed upstairs and returned. He went to his guest room, took out a few things from the pile of luggage he brought this time, and stuffed them into a wooden box. Then, he took the box and rushed back downstairs, putting Sun Yixie on his shoulder. He picked it up and quickly left the inn.
It was midnight, and there were no people on the street. Huang Donglai ran towards the market as fast as he could.
Arrived near the market, Huang Donglai quickly found a rice shop and went over to bang on the door without saying a word.
In the past, many of those who opened small shops to do business were directly connected to people's houses behind the store, and the shopkeeper lived in the store. This rice shop is no exception.
"Why are you taking pictures in the middle of the night? You are looking for death!" The shop manager of the rice shop was sleeping soundly. He was naturally very angry when he was woken up like this, and he cursed through the door.
"I'm sorry... Lao Nian, buy glutinous rice and save people." Huang Donglai replied with these phrases in a very calm tone.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper who was so angry just a second ago suddenly became silent.
After a while, another sigh came from the door.
"Oh...just wait..." Soon after the shopkeeper said this, he opened the door and unloaded a few door panels (the row of door panels that blocked the door after closing in ancient times) vertical wooden board), letting people in.
After Huang Donglai carried Sun Yixie into the house, the shopkeeper of the rice shop looked left and right on the street again, and then closed the door again.
At this time, the lights were already on in the store. Since there was no place to lie down in the room, Huang Donglai simply put Sun Yixie on the ground.
The shopkeeper of the rice shop was also very calm. He closed the door and turned around. He looked at Huang Donglai through the light, then glanced at the "corpse" on the ground, and then asked: "What do you want?" "What?"
"One ladle of water, put it in a big bowl; half a bucket of glutinous rice, which needs to be fresh; and an incense burner, it doesn't have to be big. If you don't have one, get one that can fit it in." Ironware with half a bucket of rice is fine; besides... I want to lend you this place, um... I can give you cash." Huang Donglai said this while thinking.
"Let's collect the money after the work is done." The shopkeeper curled his lips and replied coldly, then turned around and went to the back room to get something.
Some people who see this may not quite understand which song this song is about. In fact, it is not a secret...
In ancient times, if you wanted to buy an official To do it, you can't go to the Yamenmen, but you have to go to the oil and salt store; if you want to find an old Taoist method of catching monsters, you can't go to the Taoist temple, but have to go to a rice shop.
To put it bluntly, interests are related, and everyone "helps each other"...
Huang Donglai can be regarded as a Taoist priest now, so he also understands the inside story of this industry.
To make a long story short, the shopkeeper of the rice shop quickly brought the things Huang Donglai asked for, put them down and went back to the back room; from the beginning to the end, the shopkeeper didn’t say a word or say anything. No questions asked.
After Huang Donglai thanked the other party, he did not delay at all and immediately began to "set up the formation."
Except for the props he asked the shopkeeper for just now, he packed the rest in wooden boxes and brought them himself.
First of all, he used the counter of the rice shop as the "fa platform", with a bronze mirror hanging on the left, a three-purple bell on the right, and a small incense burner given to him by the shopkeeper of the rice shop in the middle.
After Huang Donglai put all the half a bucket of glutinous rice into the small incense burner, he lit three incense sticks and inserted the incense into the incense burner while reciting the incantation.
Then, he rinsed his mouth and hands with the water in the big bowl. After washing, he poured the cinnabar and smoke ink into the bowl, and mixed it with a large bowl. Zhu Mo comes.
After finishing these things, he started to chant the incantations, step on the steps, dip his hands in red ink, and draw the ground to form formations.
Although he has not been studying Taoism for a long time, he is quite proficient in doing these things. He can hang the talisman heads, invite the talisman gallbladders, and draw the talisman feet all in one go... Within a moment, he was on the ground. He drew a talisman formation that was larger than a person.
After the formation was finished, Huang Donglai placed Sun Yixie's "corpse" in the formation. He himself came to the formation and sat down cross-legged, and reached out and took out the piece of " "Ding" captured Sun Yixie's seven souls and used them as the formation's eyes.
At this point, the preliminary preparations for this ritual are complete.
Before proceeding to the next step, Huang Donglai finally looked up at the three incense sticks on the counter.
The right way is to light incense during the day to pray for blessings and welcome auspiciousness, and to light incense at night to attract ghosts and return the sun.
Within the time limit of these three incense sticks, Huang Donglai was going to do something unnatural and come to the underworld... to chase his soul!
