Chapter 144
The mysterious man knew that everything would be in vain, and the Dragon Slaying Seal and Pangu's Heart, which he had worked so hard to obtain, were worthless in his hands.
"I have never cultivated good deeds in my life, I only love killing people and setting fires. Suddenly I opened the golden rope and tore the jade lock here. The tide came from the Qiantang River, and today I know who I am." This is Shi Naian, the author of "Water Margin", to Lu Zhishen
The summary of the legendary life, now that I think about it, is so appropriate when applied to the life of the mysterious man Shantai.
Shantai handed the Dragon Slaying Seal and Pangu Heart to Si Weiqi, and told us to be careful of Shui Xiaoliu's secret attack. Then, Si Weiqi and I embarked on the journey south.
Taihu Lake is a place that I am very familiar with. Not only did I study in Huzhou, but more importantly, an unforgettable story happened there.
"Do you want to go see her?" Si Weiqi looked out the window at the snow-white old forest, and thought of an old friend again. She thought of the autumn rain without warning, which hit her body and made her feel cold in her heart.
"No!"
"So determined?"
"Sister Qi, do you think I am in the mood to see her now?"
Si Weiqi shook her head and said, "I'm just meeting someone."
Seeing that I was silent, Si Weiqi changed the topic and said, "Do you know where we are going next?"
"Taihu Lake?" I looked at her in surprise, not understanding why she asked knowingly.
Si Weiqi shook her head again and said: "What Shantai said is true, Xuanwu is in Taihu Lake, but we can't go there rashly."
"how do I say this?"
"Shui Xiaoliu has something very important in his hands."
"In addition to mastering Xuanwu and Ginseng King, what else does he have?"
"Pangu Heart."
"Ah? Didn't Panguxin just be handed over to us by Shantai?" I was puzzled.
Si Weiqi sighed softly and said, "Maybe even Shantai himself doesn't know why the Pangu heart in his hand is fake."
"Fake?!" I opened my eyes wide and said in surprise, "Sister Qi, what on earth is going on? How could Pangu's heart be fake? It's what we've been working on all this way!"
"Pangu's heart is the core of the eternal life method of Hengda Shouzhuang. The dragon-slaying seal is just the 'medicine' that promotes the integration of the Four Spirits and the King of Ginseng. It is this 'Pangu's heart' that really plays a key role. Since Pangu's heart is like this
Important, do you think it would put such an important thing in the hands of someone you don’t really trust?”
It suddenly dawned on me that my jaw almost dropped, "Oh my God, when you said that, I understood. This Pangu Heart has magical healing effects. If this Pangu Heart was true, the ulcers on his face would have been cured long ago."
Si Weiqi nodded and said: "The authorities are deluded and hateful people must have pity."
"So what do we do now?"
"I have arranged for Lao Ning to send a capable person to help."
"Do you have a plan?" I asked curiously.
"Shantai has already calculated that Shui Xiaoliu will sneak attack on us. If we think about it from our perspective, Shui Xiaoliu must also have expected that Shantai will fall to our side. In fact, the duel between us and Shui Xiaoliu is not going to happen.
Secret."
I nodded and said, "The dispute between Yu Ling and Shadow should be over."
"So, in that case, it's better to use the trick." Si Weiqi looked at the rearview mirror outside the car window and smiled coldly, "We will walk on the mountain road later and meet up with Lao Ning's people, and then we will act accordingly."
"Okay!" I nodded solemnly.
Lao Ning did not come in person this time, after all, he was unable to move in a wheelchair. The man he called this time was his most trusted confidant, named Ke Qiao, who looked very capable at first glance.
After we exchanged a few pleasantries, we abandoned the car on the mountain road and boarded a shuttle bus, which is the kind of bus that is specially developed between the city and the mountainous area.
The car drove on the mountain road for half an hour, and finally saw the road ahead.
At the station, as soon as the car stopped, several men came up.
"Don't move, get your ID cards out!" a man with livid cheeks shouted.
With a "pop" sound, a backlash knocked the passenger who was about to stop him to the ground. He spat again, put the gun in his hand on his shoulder, and walked forward, cursing at the same time.
Behind him followed several men with shiny scalps, the evil dragon tattooed on their necks swinging out half of their tails, beating and cursing all the way, and asking the passengers in the carriage to show their ID cards.
"This..." I thought it was a robbery, but Si Weiqi gave me a look and told me not to move.
Ke Qiao on the side was very smart. He sat up from his seat suddenly, stared at the people approaching, put his hand into his arms, and muttered: "Why check the tickets again?"
I glanced out the window with my peripheral vision and saw the train running through the vast mountains. The whistle blew and I didn't know where it was going.
Those people walked up to us, looked us up and down, and shouted: "Take out your ID cards!"
"What are you doing?" Ke Qiao glared at the man.
There was a sudden silence in the carriage. The child who was crying just now suppressed his cry twice and stopped crying. Everyone looked at Ke Qiao.
The man with the gun raised the gun with a bang and opened the bolt, pointed it at Ke Qiao's head, and said: "Idiot, a disability certificate will do!"
I felt uneasy in my heart. Even if Ke Qiao had extraordinary abilities, he could still endure a gun being put to his head. I was secretly worried.
A man in the back was holding a photo in his hand. He only glanced at me and shouted excitedly: "Brother Biao, that's him!"
With that said, he handed the photo to the man holding the gun. The man named Brother Biao looked at the photo, was stunned for a moment, yelled, suddenly raised the butt of the gun and hit Ke Qiao on the head.
"I'm looking for you!" After saying that, he raised his gun and came towards me. My body was shaken and I subconsciously wanted to pounce on him.
At this time, Si Weiqi suddenly raised her hand, clasped the man's wrist in the air, raised her foot and thrust it into the man's heart.
There was a loud "expanding" sound, and the man's body hit the opposite car window heavily. The passenger in the seat yelled and moved away, holding his head. The man looked at Si Weiqi with a grin, and wanted to get up but had no strength.
The remaining people took a few steps back, with expressions of shock and anger. They looked at each other, pulled out the bright switchblade knives from their waists, and rushed towards Si Weiqi with a loud shout.
Ke Qiao had quick eyesight and quick hands. He picked up a suitcase and threw it on someone.
Si Weiqi knocked over a man with one palm.
I picked up the shotgun on the ground and fired a blank shot into the sky. A red shell fell out of the gun chamber, and a big hole was made in the ceiling of the carriage, and the cold wind blew in.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and froze on the spot, staring straight at me.
"Put the fuck down!"
I aimed at their heads and asked loudly: "Who sent you?"
The man looked at the black muzzle of the gun, then softened, knocked around, then pointed at the man lying on the dining table, and said timidly: "Ask him."
Ke Qiao walked to the dining table, lifted the man's collar with his big hands, and asked loudly: "Who sent you here?"
The man looked at Ke Qiao with horrified eyes, his Adam's apple twitching slightly, he covered his chest with one hand, and said tremblingly: "Brother, stop fighting, it's all..."
"Hurry up and tell me, or I'll let you go see the King of Hell now!"
The muscles on the man's face kept trembling, and he didn't dare to look directly into Ke Qiao's murderous eyes. He burst into tears and said, "Brother, please spare me. I have an old man above me and a young man below me. I really can't say anything."
If you do, you will die!"
"Tell me, what is it that I am responsible for, and who is it?" Ke Qiao put down the man and asked in a deep voice.
The man looked extremely reluctant, but seeing Ke Qiao's face filled with evil spirits, he wiped his face with his hands and said, "Brother, can you tell me half of it?"
Si Weiqi nodded, knowing that they were being coerced.
"A few days ago, a man with a face full of holes
People, tell us to get on the train today, capture you alive, throw away 10,000 yuan before leaving, and..."
Before the man could finish speaking, a large group of villagers and a policeman rushed in. The policeman ordered Ke Qiao to fire his gun and made us squat on the ground.
A few of us squatted on the ground holding our heads, and then they took us to the police station. After questioning, they found out that we were not robbers, and then let us go.
After coming out, I asked Si Weiqi, "Sister Qi, could it be Shui Xiaoliu?"
"Who else could be there besides him!" Si Weiqi said coldly, "Today we are going to use the trick, but those robbers will be in trouble."
"Why?"
"Looking at the looks on those people's faces, they must have been tricked by some evil trick. They were injured by his Qi Sect's secret power. Within half a month, their internal organs will be ruptured!" Si Weiqi replied slowly.
A few of us took the bus and found a small hotel to stay in a town near Taihu Lake to rest for the night.
In my mind, it has been a long time since I slept with Si Weiqi in my arms. Today, I finally no longer have any uneasiness or insomnia.
"Why don't you have insomnia?" Si Weiqi was also confused. Originally, when I slept with her, I always couldn't sleep all night long.
"I don't know, but suddenly, I seem to be able to fall asleep."
"Then why did you wake up again?"
"Isn't this because I feel unsure?"
"He can't do anything to us just yet, so sleep peacefully!"
"Why?"
"Anyone who has delusions about the Four Spirits will never be able to get the four big pieces together. The White Tiger is still missing, but he is still so persistent in trying to catch you. Why?"
"I guess he's crazy!"
"No, Shantai wants the Four Spirits, but his purpose is completely opposite to Shui Xiaoliu. The mysterious man wants to live forever, while Shui Xiaoliu wants to kill. However, he can't get it himself because he has greed in his heart!"
"What does it mean?"
Si Weiqi frowned, looked at the mottled ceiling, and said slowly: "He has no delusions about the Four Spirits, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to live forever. Shantai told me that what Shui Xiaoliu really wants is gold.
mask'."
"Golden mask? What is that thing? It can't be for treasure." Even a mask made of pure gold is just a cultural relic at best, so why should Shui Xiaoliu bother with it?
"The 'golden mask' was originally called 'Tseringba', which means 'auspicious mask'. It is a Tibetan sacred object. When Songtsen Gampo married Wencheng, he presented it as a betrothal gift to the king of Tang Dynasty. But the king of Tang Dynasty did not care about it.
It was an inconspicuous mask. Until the Japanese envoys went to the Tang Dynasty to study the culture of the Central Plains. Before leaving, the Tang Dynasty king gave the 'golden mask' as scrap metal to the Japanese people. However, the Japanese people regarded it as a treasure and joined the mainland.
The evil magic has turned into the invisible evil thing that kills people today. When this thing comes out, the gods and ghosts will weep."
"Then what does this have to do with Shui Xiaoliu's motives?"
"The Japanese have only understood one of them, but they haven't found the method. Shui Xiaoliu has been involved in it for decades. If he cooperates with the evil spirit of the golden mask, it will be difficult to become a demon!"
I was secretly frightened. I didn’t expect that Shui Xiaoliu spent thirteen moves and didn’t just want to capture the four spirits. However, the ultimate goal was obvious, that is-immortality. However, the mysterious man wanted to live forever for the sake of immortality. Shui
Xiao Liu wants to live forever in destruction.
The world is confusing people, like a grasshopper tied to a rope. He wanted to jump out of the circle, but the rope buckle was pulled, and he broke his thigh, only to find that he could not jump out of the bottle.
I saw that Si Weiqi was fast asleep, and I felt sleepy. I looked at the clock on the wall. At midnight, just as I was about to close my eyes, I heard a woman's cry for help coming from the street. I rubbed my eyes.
, stood up and looked out the window.
The streets looked empty, but subtle cries always reached my ears.
