Chapter 0979 Playing Hard to Get

The copper gourd looks very old. The surface is full of cracks and has rusted in some places. The mouth of the gourd is uncovered. When Zeng Fu looked inside, he saw nothing but darkness, like a thousand-year-old deep pool. Staring at it for a little longer would make one dizzy. dizzy.

"How did you get it?" Zeng Fu held the gourd in both hands and felt it was quite heavy.

"It's a long story..."

"Wait a moment, stop your bleeding first." Xin Youxun said.

Chen Guanhuo's abdomen was soaked red with blood. Hearing these words, he felt as if he had been forgiven. He hurriedly took out the elixir and applied it internally and externally, but he did not dare to look up.

The other four monks had stopped the bleeding on their own and were hiding far away at the other end of the yard, looking at the subdued Chen Guanhuo and Qilin with its shining silver horn in horror.

Chen Guanhuo stood up and stood respectfully, like a slave who had just been disciplined.

"Let those pregnant women go first, and say that you have identified the wrong person or the wrong spell, and don't mention the two of us." Xin Youxun did not forget the true purpose of this trip.

Chen Guanhuo responded repeatedly, holding his abdomen and dragging his body to release the man himself. The monk surnamed Liao and others kept winking, trying to figure out what was going on, but Chen Guanhuo ignored him.

Xin Youxun and Zeng Fu retreated to the corner of the manor, and the broom turned into a donkey again. His eyes never left the few monks, and his four hooves lightly stepped on the spot. It was the first time that it participated in a real battle. It was a little excited, but a little bit unsatisfactory.

A dozen women with bellies of different sizes came out of a half-tilted house, glanced around hurriedly, and immediately ran towards the door in panic. They were all frightened.

Chen Guanhuo was the last one to come out and said to the two women in the distance: "I distributed silver coins and asked them to go to nearby market towns to seek help."

"One less. You said there were fourteen pregnant women, but now there are only thirteen." Xin Youxun was not confused by the panic.

Chen Guanhuo lowered his head and remained silent. The monk surnamed Liao on the side couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Brother Chen, we admired your courage and insight before we were willing to follow you. Who would miss you?" But you are a coward. What is the background of these two women that makes you become like this after your defeat? They all rely on Qilin for support, but they actually have no ability..."

Chen Guanhuo first bowed to the two women, and then walked towards the four companions, "Everything I did has a reason. Please believe in my judgment, brothers. The world is in chaos now, and everyone is walking on thin ice. If you make a wrong step, you will fall into eternal disaster. Earth, you and I have no family or sect, so we need to be even more careful..."

The four monks nodded repeatedly, feeling that these words were correct, but it was too cowardly to admit defeat so easily.

Chen Guanhuo walked up to the four of them, and without stopping, he suddenly cast a spell on his hand, "The whereabouts must not be revealed."

Before they could finish speaking a few words, holes as thick as a thumb were pierced through the abdomens of the four monks. There was no blood flowing, but there was a trace of hot air coming out. The four people's faces were filled with inexplicable horror. They couldn't believe that they had been attacked like this. Zeng Fu in the distance let out a cry of surprise, but Xin Youxun observed calmly.

"Sorry, it's better to die in my hands than to live in troubled times. After all, we are not too familiar." Chen Guanhuo quickly took off the bags of the four people, turned around and walked towards the two women, stopping when they were twenty steps apart. Get down and put all your pockets on the ground.

Behind him, four monks fell one after another.

"Miss Zeng doesn't want to reveal her whereabouts. I can't guarantee that they can keep it secret, so I have no choice but to kill them. Now please ask Miss Zeng to kill me to avoid future troubles."

Zeng Fu was also frightened and lifted up his veil. The fear on his face was no less than that of the four monks who had just fallen. She had lived in Pangshan since she was a child. After leaving the Taoist tradition, she also served the princess. She had never seen such a ruthless person as Chen Guanhuo. , can’t even imagine it.

"You, you...I didn't say I didn't believe you, why did you kill someone?"

"We make several oaths every day and then forget about them. We can only keep them secret until we die." Chen Guanhuo even summoned his magic sword and held it in his hands, saying that he would never resist. "And...a pregnant woman unfortunately died in childbirth. The five of us deserved it.”

Zeng Fu shook his head. She didn't want to kill anyone, so she had to look at Xin Youxun.

Xin Youxun kept sitting on the donkey and said calmly: "You don't have to die, go to the South China Sea, the farther away the better."

"Yes, I will pack up the body and leave immediately." Chen Guanhuo stared at his toes, not daring to show that he recognized Queen Xun.

Zeng Fu's hands and feet were weak and she managed to climb onto the donkey's back. She had seen much bigger killing scenes, but none of them were as panicked as Chen Guanhuo's sudden move. She couldn't explain how she felt. She felt both sympathy and sympathy for Chen Guanhuo. disgust.

Xin Youxun drove the donkey towards the gate. After a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and said, "The gourd is still here with us."

Zeng Fu put the copper gourd on the back of the broom, picked it up and said, "Yes, yes, this is your thing, we don't want it... By the way, you haven't told us how you got it."

The closer they were to the Daotong Tower, the more intense the spells provided by the ancestors, and the greater their help in practice. Soon after the five people came back, they encountered a strange thing.

"This gourd fell from the sky. To be more precise, it suddenly appeared more than ten feet in the air and then hit the ground. It was burning at the time, extinguished after an hour, and cooled down after another hour."

"It's such a coincidence that it fell next to you guys?" Zeng Fu found it unbelievable.

"Actually, it fell in a forest seven or eight miles away. The four of them were practicing. I happened to be on guard and saw it, so I flew over to check the situation. I thought there was something fishy about this. Maybe the gourd was a treasure. The imperial capital was not far away, and the Taoist priests were probably aware of it and would soon send someone to take it away. But I guessed wrong, and no Taoist priest showed up until the gourd cooled down. I saw the words on the gourd."

Zeng Fu glanced at the copper gourd and asked, "Where did the word come from?"

"There were words that kept flashing and then disappeared after cooling down. I went a little late and didn't see the beginning. It seemed to be a practice with weird content and couldn't be practiced at all. The last few paragraphs of text that appeared were actually It is another thing that claims that a large number of Taoist souls have returned to the world and been reincarnated as babies. The most obvious feature is that they have born Tao roots."

"That's nonsense. So Zuo Liuying is also reincarnated as a Taoist priest from the previous generation? He has lived for more than four hundred years and has no memory of his previous life." Zeng Fu shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first, so I just took the gourd away. But soon there were Taoist priests flying regularly around the imperial capital. They were not looking for copper gourds, but pregnant women from all over the country. They also used mirrors to shine, So I thought it might be true. So we waited for the Taoist priests to return to the imperial capital and found... some pregnant women to see if they would have the root of viviparous Taoism after giving birth."

"Shameless!" Zeng Fu said angrily, feeling less regretful about the deaths of the four monks. "You want to seize the root of the viviparous path, right?"

Chen Guanhuo's face turned red, "The magic of Daotong Pagoda has been unstable for a long time, and we are worried that it will stop sooner or later... We have become accustomed to the current speed of practice. Once it slows down or stops... In short, I am obsessed with listening to the instigation of a few of them. …”

"It doesn't matter who instigated who." Zeng Fu began to feel that Chen Guanhuo was not so honest.

Chen Guanhuo lowered his head and said nothing.

"Zeng Fu, return the gourd to him. The origin of this thing is unknown and we can't keep it around." Xin Youxun was wary of anything that could automatically display words.

Zeng Fu wanted to throw the gourd over, but it was too heavy. He thought it would be too rude to just throw it on the ground. "Come here and take the gourd away. Alas, how did you become like this? Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin also has no vision. You have to reflect on it and stop being a bad person. The worst thing you can do is find a place to live in seclusion. It is a good thing to make rapid progress in practice. It is not a big deal to slow down or stop. Taoist priests still have various tribulations. you……"

Chen Guanhuo walked up to Zeng Fu, kept saying yes, and reached out to pick up the copper gourd. After receiving it, he breathed a sigh of relief. This movement was so slight and completely unintentional that he didn't even notice it.

Xin Youxun noticed, and not only that, she also took action.

She learned the lesson from her first talisman sacrifice, and instead of sacrificing a bunch of talismans, she only used one, and waited until Chen Guanhuo came close before taking action.

The two sides were less than five steps apart.

Chen Guanhuo also learned his lesson and kept holding the magic sword in his hand until he took the copper gourd. Even then, he still reacted, swung his sword to block, and jumped back at the same time.

As long as he keeps a little distance, he will be in an invincible position, and he can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

But he didn't expect how powerful this talisman was.

Xin Youxun also didn't expect it. She only knew that these were the life-saving talismans provided by Long Binhui. There were only five of them, and they should have been reserved for use in the most critical moments.

With a bang, the talisman exploded, and the sky collapsed.

The two donkeys raised their front hooves and revealed their original shapes at the same time, standing up to help their masters withstand the explosion. There were copper bells hanging around the broomstick's neck, and the other unicorn had a piece of talisman armor on its chest. Even so, it was knocked away dozens of steps and hit. He stopped only after climbing the broken wall.

Zeng Fu felt that all the bones in his body were broken. He lay on the bricks for a while before he managed to get up. He first checked the condition of the broom. It was fine, but it was a little dazed from the shock. It lay on the ground and kept blinking.

Zeng Fu ran forward and saw a pool of blood on the ground. Chen Guanhuo and the magic weapon were gone, leaving only the copper gourd spinning on the ground.

Xin Youxun on the opposite side also came out of the ruins. Her unicorn was not as powerful as a broom, she was injured, her veil was gone, her hair was messy, and there was blood on her face.

"Are you dead?" Xin Youxun didn't care about his injuries.

Zeng Fu nodded blankly and stood blankly for a while before he reacted and asked angrily: "What's going on? Didn't you agree to let him go?"

Xin Youxun walked slowly over, "This person is not trustworthy. He begged you for death. He deliberately did not say that he knew me. He actually had murderous intentions in his heart. He just wanted to avoid using the excuse to kill the queen."

"That's all?"

"Also, he has the sword in his hand, and you express forgiveness, but he refuses to take it back. Every time he raises his eyes, he glances at the gourd. He clearly wants to go back, but he never opens his mouth. He is playing hard to get, if we There were still guards hiding behind him, so he kept pretending to confess. If it was confirmed that there were only two of us, he would definitely kill him, just like he killed the four people. "

Zeng Fu thought for a while, "Well, I don't have the Dao roots to be a Taoist priest, and I don't have the willpower to be a mortal. You won't sell me out when you are short of money, right?"

Xin Youxun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have something more valuable."

Zeng Fu frowned, not sure whether this was a joke or a compliment.

"Chen Guanhuo said that a pregnant woman died, but he didn't mention whether the baby was born. I guess he must be hiding something."

"If he's lying about this, I have complete confidence in your judgment of him."

Zeng Fu was about to run to the room where the pregnant woman was imprisoned, but Xin Youxun pointed at the ground and asked her to look.

The copper gourd was still spinning, and it was gleaming with light, and it seemed that lines of text appeared.
