"It sounds so shrill and sad, and the baby voice is so heavy, right?" Just when I was doubting, everyone came to their senses, and five people said in unison: "Kawachiko."
At this time, a deep and empty voice came from a very far away place, which was not only mysterious but also strange: "Wonderful, the disciples of the Jida Sect are truly well-deserved. They defeated Mu Mei, Naruya and Jing Mole Cricket so easily. .”
As soon as I heard this voice, I knew that the person coming was evil, so I replied: "Monster, who are you? Why don't you dare to show your face?"
"I am Yugu Hibiki. I have been ordered by Lord Onamaru. I am here to deliver a message, not to fight with you. We, Lord Onamaru, want to play a game of breakthrough with you. I wonder if you dare?"
I couldn't make up my mind about this matter, so I exchanged glances with several fellow apprentices and asked for their opinions. All of them except Li Huhu nodded to me. Just when I was about to ask Li Huhu, he said: "You don't need to ask my opinion." , I definitely have no problem. The four of you have acquiesced, what else can I say? We cannot let the Japanese ghosts look down on our Chinese Feng Shui Onmyoji."
Since everyone had no objections, I replied: "Okay, I have asked for the opinions of my brothers and sisters, and we accept the challenge of Etenmaru. Tell me, how to play this level-breaking game?"
"It's very simple. Isn't there a chapter in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in which Guan Yu travels thousands of miles and rides alone? Passing five levels and killing six generals is the most exciting part of the classic "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". However, let's change things a little bit today. The five of you go through a level each, and the ones guarding the level are five of our thirteen monsters, how about that?"
"Very well, come on then!"
"Wait a minute, sign the contract first." As soon as Yougu Xiang finished speaking, yellow paper, cinnabar, and a writing brush appeared in front of us. On the yellow paper was written - five people to go through five levels, one person against one monster, no one else is allowed to intervene. , life and death matter! Signing a contract takes effect immediately by fingerprinting. The ghosts of the underworld bear witness!
I really didn’t expect that these monsters would also make a life contract. This is a contract presided over by a ghost in the Tao family! How could Japanese monsters do this? Just when I was puzzled, Yugu Xiang's voice came out again: "I know, what are you wondering about? Are you thinking about the monsters who contracted with us in Japan? Let me tell you, that is the Yamato nation and others. The monsters of the Yamato nation all love to learn, and we can even master your Chinese Taoism! Do you dare to sign?"
Indeed, this is not a joke, but for the sake of the Tao family's face, I still signed the contract. Others also signed their names and fingerprints on the blood contract.
"Okay, if you sign a life contract, you can't go back on it. The first level is Chuan Chizi. Which one of you will fight?"
"Let's discuss it." I deliberately made a delaying tactic, because I know very well how powerful Chuan Chizi is. She will not show up to fight you, but will enchant human thoughts and immerse people in her illusion. , thus completely confusing mankind. Then, it traps people in a fantasy world and is unable to extricate themselves, achieving the purpose of killing people. If you want to defeat her, you must fight illusion against illusion.
So, I turned to Geng Biaobiao and said, "Huang Sheng, go to the hall and take out the painting hanging on your back. Remember not to look at the content of the painting, otherwise you will be led into an illusion by the painting."
Geng Biaobiao listened to my words and went to the house to get something. Xu Chengcheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked me: "Yang Sheng, I didn't hear when you had a fantasy painting? What's going on?"
"Have you heard of the two hundred and forty households in Yancheng, Shuzhou?"
Xu Chengcheng did not answer, but Li Huhu answered instead, saying: "I have heard of the two hundred and forty households in Yancheng, Shuzhou, but this painting is very evil. But if you look at this painting and you are fascinated by it, you will Go inside.”
"Li Huhu is right. This painting is so rare. It was a treasure I got from a treasure-hunting Taoist by chance. Since Sichuan Chizi is a monster who is good at illusions, then the 240 households in Yancheng, Shuzhou can just cure her. ! Hey, where's Geng Biaobiao? Where's that damn fat guy? It's just a painting, why is it so slow?"
While talking, he didn't notice that Geng Biaobiao had already entered the range of the barrier. He was the first to appear without consulting us. This fat man was so rash.
When Yougu Xiang saw Geng Biaobiao entering the barrier, he announced the start: "The first level, Geng Biaobiao versus Sichuan Chizi."
In the barrier, a Japanese female ghost wearing a pure white kimono was kneeling in front of Geng Biaobiao, and started a duel of thoughts with Geng Biaobiao.
We looked at Geng Biaobiao from a distance, feeling anxious in our hearts. Unfortunately, our Taoist family's mind-reading skills cannot fully feel the other person's feelings. Otherwise, I could share it for him.
I saw Geng Biaobiao just saying a few words to Chuan Chizi, and then he stopped motionless. I knew clearly that he had entered Chuan Chizi's illusion. However, soon Geng Biaobiao hugged and kissed the air, and kept talking about Lingling, Lingling. After a while, he hugged the air again. It looked like he had been upgraded to the child's father in his dream, and he was completely I was immersed in the illusion created by Chuan Chizi.
Li Huhu became anxious and spat: "Fuck, you fat man who doesn't live up to expectations." Just as he was about to step forward, I stopped him.
"Xuansheng, please sit down. Don't forget that we are the ones who signed the life contract. Since Huang Sheng has already passed the first level, we cannot interfere. Now we can only choose to believe him."
Li Huhu could only punch his thigh angrily and said to me, "Then I'll be the second one."
I nodded and acquiesced.
Looking at Geng Biaobiao's exaggerated expression, our hearts tightened. Suddenly, his face became extremely distorted, as if he was suffocated. I suddenly remembered that all the people in the 240 households in Yancheng, Shuzhou were burned to death in the end. This means that Geng Biaobiao is no longer in the environment of Sichuan Chizi, but has entered the ancient painting. Inside the illusion of painting. What's happening here?
No matter how hard I think about it, I still don’t know what is going on!
After a while, Chuan Chizi suddenly started to spontaneously combust. Her painful expression was as if she had experienced a fire herself. It's really strange. Kawachiko is a great demon who is famous for his illusions. How could he kill himself by playing tricks on himself?
In a short while, Chuan Chizi was burned to the point where there was no residue left, and Geng Biaobiao's abdomen was also on fire. I saw it in my eyes, and I didn’t understand even more. Could it be that Geng Biaobiao also spontaneously combusts? It doesn’t make sense!
"Ah, fire, fire, it's on fire! Li Huhu, how dare you set me on fire!"
These words made the other three people very confused, but I knew it well, nodded and laughed.
Because Sichuan Chizi was burned into nothingness by fire, Geng Biaobiao won the first round, and he walked out of the barrier with his arms open. Upon closer inspection, I saw a large red patch on my stomach, which looked like third-degree burns.
Li Huhu stepped forward and slapped him and said, "Why are you scolding me? When did I set you on fire?"
"Oh, Third Brother, hehe, actually, there is a story behind the painting of 240 households in Yancheng, Shuzhou. In the end, all 240 households were burned to death, and you were the arsonist in the illusion. Sorry, I got too involved, so I scolded you!"
I quickly stepped forward and asked him: "Huang Sheng, how did you defeat Chuan Chizi? We all thought you were destined to lose!"
"Oh, that's it. Didn't you ask me to get that ancient painting? You specifically said you wouldn't let me see it, but I couldn't help but look at it. So, my soul was attracted to it. Only However, my thoughts were more persistent, and I saw the hero and heroine in the painting, Zhang Yi and Lang Lingling. I told them about the Japanese monsters challenging the Chinese authority. These two ghosts were really loyal and told them to leave it alone. It was the two of them who solved it. After saying that, I walked out and wrapped the scroll around my waist as they said. Then, I didn’t know anything anymore, and I couldn’t control my body. I just felt that I My conscious soul was locked inside the painting. I could only watch my own body entering the barrier, and then I saw Zhang Yi and Lang Lingling fighting with the Japanese woman. Unfortunately, neither side could do anything about the other. In the end, It was this pair of misfortunes who hugged the Japanese woman and spontaneously combusted together. Who knew, I saw a man who looked very much like the third senior brother holding a fire folder in his hand and lit a fire in front of my door. It almost burned me to death. , Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape from the Lang family's village and save my life. Li Huhu was so damn cruel, he burned all forty members of the Lang family to death in one fire. "
After Geng Biaobiao finished speaking, he kept pointing at Li Huhu’s nose and said, “Hey, you are so damn cruel!”
After saying that, he hurried back to the Tianshi Pavilion to apply the medicine. Xu Chengcheng and Su Fengfeng looked at each other and then at Li Huhu, laughing.
Su Fengfeng teased: "Third brother, no wonder you are Tai Sui Yin. It turns out that you were a murderous arsonist in your previous life! I really don't underestimate you. No wonder the master accepted you as his apprentice and asked you to learn the fire attribute. It all happens for a reason.”
Xu Chengcheng followed and shouted: "Tsang Tian is right, you kid is just for killing evil, otherwise you would have such a destiny! The evil Taoist Li Bu has been targeting you for a long time, just because you are special. But, you kid! Still lucky, haha!"
While everyone was making fun of Li Huhu, Yougu Xiang's voice came again.
"Don't be arrogant, Yakuza sect. It just happened that you won. Now, it won't be that easy. In the second level, the guardian monster is a tall girl. Which one of you will appear?"
Li Huhu rolled his eyes at us, walked up and shouted: "In the second level, I will appear. Hum, you monster, look at how powerful grandpa is."
