Chapter Thirty-Five: Praying for the Way and Tired of Victory
The door to the room was gently pushed open through a gap.
"come in."
Hearing the call in the room, Amei hesitated for a moment, then walked in with coffee.
As soon as she entered the room, her eyes noticed the picture reflected in the crystal ball, but she only glanced at it and quickly looked away.
"Freshly brewed coffee."
She put the coffee on the table and was about to turn around and leave.
"Are you ready to leave now? Don't you want to look at it for a while longer?"
The white-haired young man behind her called her, pointed at the crystal ball in front of her, and jokingly said: "Take another look, maybe you won't see her next time."
A-mei frowned, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands as if she was struggling. After being stiff for a moment, she still strode out.
He didn't stop until he reached the door: "I'll make a bet with you."
"bet?"
Mr. Tai raised his eyelids slightly, picked up the coffee and took a sip on the corner of his lips: "Would you like to bet that he won't die?"
"No, I bet he will win!"
Amei turned around and looked into Mr. Tai's eyes, her eyes full of determination: "He will win, not only for this script, but also for you."
As she spoke, Amei glanced at the crystal ball.
In the picture in the crystal ball, Xu Tong was standing on the back of the black rooster, with the magic bell in his left hand and the sword energy in his right hand.
The fire of hell is useless, so use the sword energy transformed from incense to strike down one after another.
With the blessing of the merits of incense, every sword energy struck down, causing a huge wound to be torn open on Matthew's body.
I have to say that this thing is like a snake oil. It has no effect on living people, but it is extremely useful against demons and ghosts.
The only drawback is that there are too few.
If it had been before the Yin Yang Cave, Xu Tong could have killed this guy just by hitting him with incense.
But the Yin and Yang Cave group had basically consumed all the incense and merit, leaving only these. Da Ya and the others had to spit out the remaining incense and merit, plus the little food stored under Xu Tong's hands, to make up for it. from.
Matthew's huge body became a target. He roared unwillingly and kept shooting out countless bone spurs. But unfortunately, the black rooster ran too fast.
It was not only fast, but also weird and changeable. Even though Matthew's eyes were always on the black rooster, his reaction speed could not keep up with the rhythm at all.
As Xu Tong's attack speed began to increase, the numbers on the cartoon pocket watch above Matthew's head also began to increase rapidly.
This invisible injury made Matthew mad with rage.
"You have no chance. The Lord of Darkness is destined to come to the world, and the seven sacrifices have returned. You are destined to fall into the abyss of hell."
Matthew muttered to himself.
It seems to be telling a prophecy that is about to come true.
At this time, I saw him stamp his feet violently, and accompanied by a huge roar, a huge shock wave was set off from under his feet.
"not good!!"
Seeing the shock wave visible to the naked eye, Zhao San's expression changed slightly, and he put his hands on his chest.
"The heart, liver, spleen, lungs and stomach, the five internal organs and spirits return to their proper places!"
Zhao San recited a spell in his mouth, and along with the spell, the huge black claws tore from his back for an instant.
The two of them jumped into the air and were instantly blown away by the shock wave.
Looking at the picture in the crystal ball.
Mr. Tai held his chin with one hand, picked up two fingers and rubbed the dust on it: "Just him? Why? I can kill him right now."
"That's why you don't dare!!"
Mr. Tai's face froze, and his eyes gradually narrowed into slits.
Anyone who is familiar with Mr. Tai knows that this is already a precursor to his anger.
But Amei continued: "The rules are the rules. Even you can't circumvent them. Based on the principle of equivalent exchange, the space will give him corresponding compensation if you put him in great danger. In the end, you are not When you are fighting against him, you are fighting against space."
Having said this, A-mei sneered: "I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen anyone who can defeat space. Do you know why?"
"Why??" Mr. Tai's expression gradually slowed down.
But A-mei played it safe: "I bet you lose. If you lose, I will tell you. If you win, I will serve you for another three hundred years."
"What if I lose?"
"Let her live, and I will continue to serve you for another three hundred years."
The woman A-mei talks about does not refer to herself, but to Thalia who enters the world of this script.
"A good deal! I bet."
Mr. Tai finally put a smile on his face and cast admiring glances at Amei. Although he disliked his subordinates who disobeyed him in this way, he had to say that she was a qualified negotiator.
Even if Mr. Tai knew in his heart that after making such a bet, he wanted to maintain the fairness of the bet and could no longer directly intervene to affect the direction of the script world.
A-mei seemed to be pleading for her sister, putting herself in a position where she was bound to lose, making herself a high-quality offer that she couldn't refuse, and using the bet to tie her hands and feet.
Smart negotiation is exactly that.
What? Wouldn’t it be a big loss for her to do this?
You can't bear to let your children trap the wolf, and you are in a lower position. No matter you win or lose, your position is there. It takes three hundred years to gain the qualifications for a game. These are all basic operations.
But even if he no longer intervenes, he still doesn't believe that this young boy can come out of this script world alive?
So he boldly acknowledged this contract, and whether he lost or won, he would always make a profit.
Even if it's the worst outcome, isn't there still a three-hundred-year guarantee?
"Hey, I knew I was being tricked, but why did I suddenly fall in love with this feeling!"
Mr. Tai drank the coffee at hand and sighed in his heart.
But...will I really lose?
With doubts, Mr. Tai looked at the crystal ball.
"Rumble, rumble..."
Countless broken stones, under the blessing of shock waves, burst out with terrifying power comparable to cannonballs.
In an instant, the surrounding ground was shaken to the ground.
And when the dust clears.
To Matthew's surprise, a huge black turtle shell appeared on the ground.
The turtle shell is covered with peculiar textures, layer by layer forming a towering turtle tower.
The turtle holding the pagoda is a natural treasure.
A strange divine glow can be vaguely seen surrounding the tortoise shell.
As for Xu Tong and Zhao San, they were standing and sitting in the turtle tower. Apart from being a little disgraced, they were basically uninjured.
Seeing this, Matthew became even more angry and focused his eyes on the turtle tower.
Suddenly, countless black hands sprouted from the ground, trying to pull the turtle to the ground first.
However, before these black hands could touch the turtle tower, they were shattered by an auspicious light.
Zhao San formed a seal with his hands, sat cross-legged with one leg, and his body was filled with auspicious light.
Xu Tong took a closer look and saw that a Bodhisattva appeared behind this guy.
Luck also rose to the extreme for a while.
This is Zhao San's life-saving method. Although it is a bit rogue, it has to be said that combined with that weird time bomb, most people can only run away as soon as possible when they encounter him.
Xu Tong couldn't help but secretly speculate, what would he do if he met an opponent like Zhao San?
Hard hitting??
Countless bone spears were seen falling like a torrential rain, but they hit the turtle's back without leaving even a trace. I was afraid that any attempt to attack by force would be in vain.
Matthew's furious fist smashed down, which only caused the turtle shell to tremble slightly. Instead, the backlash from the turtle shell caused Matthew's fist to crack open and at the same time, the value above his head also dropped.
Beating rapidly.
It seemed like the only option was to run.
Xu Tong was thinking about his chances of escaping in this situation, but then he thought about that damn black rooster again.
It seems that with his own speed, even trying to escape is a luxury.
Even in the process of escaping, Zhao San would be chased along the way and shoot at his behind.
"It's really tricky!"
Thinking of this, Xu Tong couldn't help but hold up his chin. It seemed that he would really have no choice but to go to his master's house and hang up his war-free card.
"Didi!"
At this time, accompanied by a harsh explosion, the value of the cartoon cat floating above Matthew's head finally reached 1000. The cartoon cat's body directly expanded in a circle, and then strange black holes exploded on Matthew's body.
Light.
"ah!!!"
A painful roar came from Matthew's mouth, and his tall body gradually shrank.
Xu Tong's eyes lit up when he saw this, he jumped out of the tower, followed by the mountain buckle and smashed it down on Matthew.
I'll kill you while you're sick.
The abyss opened, and Baishankou fit together perfectly in this world. The ruins and buildings all around were seen sinking into the abyss, seemingly becoming part of the abyss.
"Kakaka..."
The ancient door slowly opened, and a dim air of death surged out.
The pupils on Matthew's head tightened, and a strong sense of crisis came over him, filling his heart with fear. He screamed and stretched out countless bone spurs to pierce the surroundings.
At this time, I saw a solitary boat float out from the gate. There was an old man sitting on the solitary boat, wearing a straw hat and holding a bamboo pole in his hand. He looked up and looked at Matthew, who was still struggling, and couldn't help but look at him.
With a smile on his face: "I fished for a long time before I got something like this."
After saying that, he raised the fishing rod in his hand and swept the floor lightly into the door.
For a moment, Matthew felt that his body was being lifted up by an uncontrollable force, and he was immediately thrown towards the door.
"No!"
Seeing the gate getting closer and closer, Matthew moved his palms and smashed his huge fist at the old fishing man.
Unexpectedly, the old man shook the fishing rod with his backhand, and actually withstood Matthew's fist, followed by another pump.
"Snapped!!"
A mark from a bamboo pole appeared on Matthew's face, which instantly caused the eyeballs on Matthew's head to explode and he fainted on the spot.
"Boy, don't deal with this red-haired monster next time. This thing won't fetch a good price down there."
Xu Tong glared: "Why is it you?"
If I had known it was a veteran, I would have thrown this guy in with a mountain buckle.
The old Taoist yawned: "Your master just left. He said he was going to Luofu Mountain to report on his duties. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to suppress that little girl, so he took him away together and asked me to stay here to guard him."
After the old Taoist finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Sanqian
For a moment, Zhao San felt a chill in his heart, and he felt like his whole body was being seen through the turtle tower.
He quickly smiled at the old Taoist, then pointed at Xu Tong: "Friend!"
"Hehe, it's interesting, it's really interesting. I have long heard that since Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he had a close relationship with the Yansheng lineage, and they both died in the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect anyone else to do it. It's rare."
After hearing what the old Taoist said, Zhao San's expression gradually became serious. He had also heard his master talk about this matter.
I pray, aversion to victory is a mortal enemy.
Praying for Taoism uses human internal organs to manifest supernatural powers, but the art of defeating victory uses strange spells to suppress things and harm people's lives. The two families are originally like water in a well but not in the river.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, a major case that caused a sensation in both the government and the public occurred, involving the Weisheng Dou Shu. Someone in the palace invited people from Zhu You's family to use the magical powers of the five internal organs and the Weisheng Dou Shu to capture the person who set up the Weisheng Dou Shu.
The case was so implicated that Emperor Gaozong issued an order to kill the Yisheng lineage in the world.
From then on, the Yan Sheng lineage became the mortal enemy of the Qi Dao lineage. The two families fought overtly and covertly, often to the death.
In the end, until the fall of the Tang Dynasty, both families were completely wiped out, disappearing into the long river of history along with this most glorious empire.
Even if it is spread occasionally, it is just a superficial technique.
Over time, many people have never even heard of the name. This system of my own, combined with my own spells and the blessing of prop cards, has already undergone many changes from the original prayer technique.
But he didn't expect that the old man would see through it at a glance, and he could even tell about the past, which made Zhao San feel wary.
"Who are you, sir, and how do you know these secrets?"
"I'll tell you if you come in."
Zhao Sanyi looked at Xu Tong, then immediately shook his head and said: "Forget it, senior, go on your way."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
"Hey!"
Seeing this, the old Taoist couldn't help but shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity."
Xu Tong didn't know what the old man's plan was, but he was certain that this old ghost would not have any good intentions.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The old Taoist waved his hand, dropped the bamboo pole again, and disappeared through the gate.
After Xu Tong dispersed and paid homage to Shankou, the space in front of him became blurry.
It seems that after Matthew was captured, the power maintaining the space around him began to collapse.
As he watched more and more smoke in front of him gradually become thicker and thicker, the outline of reality emerged in the haze.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Amerta's warning sound came, and Xu Tong instinctively ducked back. His body was wrapped in thick clouds and smoke, and he saw a pale palm sticking out from the darkness in front of him. The palm was covered with strange eyeballs.
, staring closely at Xu Tong's chest.
There was only a slight distance between them, and there were two worlds. Xu Tong felt his body sink and he fell heavily on the wooden board.
When he looked again, he was already back in the cellar, surrounded by thick smoke and dust. Matthew's body had been burned into a torch by the flames, and the surrounding area was also set on fire.
"Cough cough cough... let's go quickly! Get out first!"
Zhao San took Xu Tong's arm, and the two ran out of the cellar one after the other.
The flames were seen getting bigger and bigger, and when the two of them walked out, the flames were already coming out from under the ground.
You can see some tiny bones exposed from time to time in the cracked earth.
"Bah, bad luck!"
Zhao San cursed secretly, then looked at Xu Tong, hesitated for a moment and then said: "That old man just now..."
"Leave him alone, his defeated generals are not worth mentioning."
After listening to Xu Tong's words, Zhao San looked like he believed you, but seeing Xu Tong's attitude, he stopped asking questions.
"I'm going back first. Let's talk again at the church in the evening."
As he spoke, Zhao San waved his hand, turned around and left.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire!!"
At this time, the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and someone had already called the fire alarm. Not long after, a clanking sound was heard, indicating that the nearby fire brigade had arrived.
Although they were in a different era, these people holding simple fire-fighting tools still rushed towards the sea of fire as always...
Zhao San was startled, but without thinking much, he drove the black rooster in a drifting U-turn in front and rushed straight towards Matthew.
, turned around and walked towards Xu Tong and Thalia...
