Looking at the broken stone bridge, Russell and Simu looked at each other. This evil spirit is quite serious!
It seems that the thing sealed in the Five Coffin Lotus Land is not simple.
The old man who was talking nearby just now suddenly changed his expression when he saw the broken bridge. He knelt down on the ground in a panic, muttering to himself.
He was not the only one there. Everyone around him bowed down in a huge crowd, which made Russell feel a little amused and helpless.
But you're right, this is a bridge that collapsed, which would be a very big deal even in the future.
However, it was not the people who were worried, but the people who built the bridge.
If it is done seriously, it is fine, but if it is done by cutting corners, then it is interesting.
Russell casually broke off a small branch from a nearby tree, wiped it with his hand, and stuffed it into his teeth to pick it up.
I have been eating a lot recently, and mostly fish. I ate too much and it got stuck in my teeth.
The effect is quite obvious. At least he has grown at least a palm length taller now, which is a qualitative leap.
It’s not that he was watching the show, but because the people in front of him were all kneeling, and the bridge leading to the city had collapsed again, and he couldn’t just run in front of this group of people.
Although he may not necessarily be beaten, Russell will definitely see what justice caused by the people's anger is.
"Oh, it looks like I'll have to put off buying clothes for another day."
Simu stood aside and shook his head. This was obviously a bad thing. If he didn't take action, it might cause big trouble.
People who practice Taoism and travel around the world should not meddle in other people's affairs, but they must do what they can.
He suddenly thought of a serious question, "By the way, which village are these coffins from?"
This man is unfamiliar with the place and has no old acquaintances. How should he find the coffin that has been dug out
Just when Simu was having a headache, he caught a glimpse of an old man kneeling beside him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The old man who was praying suddenly felt a chill all over his body and shivered with fear.
Could it be that the evil ghost has set its sights on me
No!
…
Xiaohe Village.
The village is as its name suggests, it is located next to a small river, so it is called Xiaohe Village.
Although the name is a bit rustic, it is very down to earth and people speak the truth.
Russell looked around curiously. It was no different from other villages, except that there was a small river beside the village.
It’s better to say it’s a stream than a river!
"Want to go into the village?"
Russell looked at Xiaohe Village, thought carefully, and then shook his head decisively, "Forget it, let's solve it quickly, my little guy still needs to eat dinner."
The little brat that Simu was talking about was the girl that Russell had rescued before. She was angry with Simu and didn't say a word.
Still don't know his last name? Most likely Wei.
Russell also kept his distance from her, mainly because that girl had bad intentions and always took advantage of Si Mu's absence to touch him.
If I touched other parts of his body, he could still tolerate it, but I chose to pinch his face and touch his head.
Haha, this is a man’s dignity. Especially being touched on the head by a girl is a great humiliation.
Russell turned his head and looked at the old man behind him who kept wiping his forehead with his sleeve. "Uncle, do you know where that piece of land is?"
The old man pointed to a piece of land in the distance ahead. There were traces of excavation on it, and there were cement and red bricks around it.
"You better be careful, that piece of land is very evil!"
Speaking of the land, the old man looked solemn. He had originally not planned to bring these two outsiders here.
It’s just a pity that they both gave too much.
It was a full ten cents, which was quite a considerable income. For the sake of the money, the old man also looked upon the two people as being much kinder.
Although he hates rich people, he doesn't hate the rich people who give him money.
The old man said earnestly, "It's strange to say, the village chief was unlucky first, he walked along the stalks of the field for his whole life, and then he slipped and fell to his death."
Falling to death while walking is an extremely unfortunate death, and it is despicable to watch.
"Then came the eldest son. Recently, there were no eels giving birth to big, fat babies, so he went fishing for eels. He has been fishing for more than ten years, but the first grass snake he caught died before he could even get it to the provincial capital."
The venom of the grass snake is not as venomous as that of the king cobra or the seven-step snake. As long as they are rescued in time, they can usually survive.
But if it is this era, then we really can only accept our fate.
Generally, when rural people are bitten by snakes, they have remedies passed down from their ancestors, but it also depends on luck. It seems that the eldest son's luck is not very good either.
"The most bizarre thing is the third son!" The old man was obviously a little timid, "A child who grew up by the Yangtze River was actually drowned. His body just floated there and wouldn't move away, scaring away a lot of people!"
This is a rare thing.
Russell was a little surprised. It is said that water and fire are merciless, and the surging Yangtze River is even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be washed away for thousands of miles.
If you accidentally die, it would be hard to imagine finding a corpse.
That’s why there are mysterious corpse-recoverers in the Yellow River.
The corpse was suspended on the surface of the river, motionless and not floating. Who wouldn't be panicked when seeing this
At this time, the old man wanted to persuade him again, but Russell and Simu simply thanked them and left, leaving the old man standing there stamping his feet and shaking his head.
It's really hard to persuade that damn ghost with nice words.
Simu and Russell had no idea about the old man's kind concern. Even if they knew, they would just laugh it off.
Do you think if a ghost sees these two, would it call them grandpa, or grandpa, or grandpa
“It’s a bit difficult!”
Before he got close, Simu felt the overwhelming evil spirit. He looked around and was directly frightened.
This place is actually a famous place with bad feng shui. How could there still be a village in such a place with bad feng shui
People live uncomfortably, livestock are not safe, and rice cannot grow well. This...
Russell squatted down, raised two fingers and inserted them straight down, groping for something in the soil very flexibly.
It’s not that he was imitating the young man’s Fa Qiu Finger, it’s just that there were too many evil spirits, and this formation seemed to be buried underground. It would be easy to go wrong if you only looked at it with your eyes.
Simu also squatted down and looked at his two fingers thoughtfully. Suddenly, his eyebrows raised, "In fact, I have seen a person before, whose middle finger and index finger are very long."
Russell turned his head and took a look. The middle finger and index finger were longer. Could it be a young man
Recently, Simu had a smirk on his face, "Such long fingers, I don't know how women can bear it, hehe."
Russell: ←_←I seem to understand a little bit. Oh no, I am not clean anymore.
Rolling his eyes at Simu, Russell continued to reach out and grope around. After a while, he took it out and nodded, "It's okay. I don't feel any evil spirit leaking out. It should be fine."
Hearing that there was no problem, Simu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what was sealed, if the things inside came out, it would be a big trouble.
Maybe they won't be able to return to the ship tonight, or even in the next few days.
It didn't matter before, but it doesn't matter now. He wants to be a man who dotes on his daughter.
According to little Russell, this is called slacking off at work and clocking out on time, but what does slacking off mean
Simu just breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression became serious again. He frowned and said, "If the things inside didn't escape, then what happened to the broken bridge and the coffins?"
"That thing didn't run away, but it wanted to run!"
Russell curled his lips at the people behind him. When he turned around, he saw a row of things slowly floating in the stream behind him.
When I looked closely, I saw that there were coffins one after another. After counting carefully, they were the same as before, except that there seemed to be one more floating corpse.
They strangely moved upstream against the current of the stream, heading towards the two of them.
“It’s really troublesome!”
Simu took a deep breath and his face became much more solemn. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Although it was the first time, just looking at the scene, he felt that the matter was not simple.
He was about to ask Russell what to do, but when he turned around, he found that the person was gone.
Ah? Where's my junior nephew
He turned around suddenly and found Russell squatting behind him, drawing an array pattern on the ground behind him.
Well, my junior nephew did the right thing.
Then, Russell drew the second formation on the ground.
Hmm... Junior Brother is very cautious, which is worthy of praise.
Then, Russell drew the third formation pattern on the ground.
Simu couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and sighed slightly. He knew this would happen. Ever since the last time they almost capsized in Poyang Lake, his junior apprentice nephew has become more cautious.
After carving the third level of array pattern, Russell touched his chin, and then placed a dozen paper figures next to him, which made Simu feel emotional.
People don't have to be so timid.
"Little nephew, your strength is basically enough to conquer the world, why do you still have to be so cautious?"
Simu was not lying. Although both of them were geomancers, he felt that he could only withstand a slap from Russell at most.
There are not many geomancers in this world. The higher the level of cultivation, the smaller the circle. Few people would take action against an outstanding junior like Russell.
Young people are fierce, passionate, and involved in the underworld, while older people are all about human relationships and scheming.
(Of course, except for everyone in a certain person called Under One Person.)
Those geomancers who want to beat Russell can't do it, and those who can beat him don't want to fight him. If they get angry, they will directly summon the ancestor to possess them.
My Turtle, when he thought of Russell, the ancestor, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He is no longer the cub that the ancestor loves.
Hearing Simu's question, Russell snorted with disdain. Is this what he calls cowardice
This is called being cautious. As a senior said, you have to send puppets when you go out. The puppets have to be paper people and magical tools. It would be best if you can also calculate with your fingers.
If you don't have a 98% success rate, don't go out. If you round it up, you can easily die.
"Alas!" Russell sighed, looking regretful, "I still don't know what's in there. If it's a human, it would be much easier to deal with."
"If I knew his birth date, I would hide secretly, find a hundred paper figures to poke holes in his back, and curse him to death behind his back."
"If one person can handle it, I don't believe he can handle it if a hundred paper figures curse him all at once!"
Russell was very proud of himself. He suddenly felt that he had a chance to learn some black magic from Southeast Asia. He had a lot of paper figures, so he had to take advantage of it.
In a head-on fight, problems will certainly arise if you are distracted from controlling the machine, but if you stab paper people or cast a spell from behind, there will definitely be no problem.
Tsk, I am such an ordinary little genius!
He stared at the paper figure on the ground in silence, feeling secretly sad for the thing sealed underground.
Why did he have to meet my junior nephew...
I hope there is still a pinch of ash.
The coffins in the distance had floated over with the water. Four coffins and one corpse strangely formed a lotus flower on the water, which was constantly spinning.
The stream spun faster and faster, and the ripples on the surface of the stream became more and more violent, as if corresponding to something. Simu could feel the soil under his feet shaking.
Russell raised the corner of his mouth and slowly clenched his right hand. He really didn't know if this seal could withstand a slap from him
“It’s out!”
Russell said this lightly, and the next moment, the ground shook violently, and bursts of crisp cracking sounds were heard, just like the crisp sound of glass falling to the ground.
Click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click”
Black gas was visibly seeping out from the ground in front of him. With a bang, the soil exploded instantly and the ground was split into two.
“Hahahahahaha!”
A black shadow jumped out from the ground. It had a burly build and an extremely ugly face. It was hard to tell whether it was a mountain goblin or a ghost, but it was very creepy anyway.
It shook its head, greedily breathing in the air outside, and screamed to the sky in a hoarse voice, "I! I'm out!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Like a madman, he was suspended in the air and dancing, using his hands and feet to wave his hands and feet in a random manner.
It seems that he has been locked in the dark seal for too many years and something has gone wrong with his brain.
The thing seemed to smell something and licked its lips fiercely with its tongue. It lowered its head and looked at Simu and Russell below, its eyes instantly turned red.
"It's actually a human. It smells so good. It smells so good!"
This thing was shaking with excitement all over. It hadn't eaten a human in many years. It was originally a carefree monster that would eat humans when it had nothing to do.
As a result, it met a crazy monk that day, who fought with it desperately and sealed it in this place.
Unfortunately, the crazy monk died early and did not live to see it come out.
Its eyes instantly turned red and it looked at Russell greedily. When eating people, one should start with the small ones, with the tender skin and meat, which are so delicious.
Simu shrugged silently and covered his face with his hands, unable to bear to look.
There was a whistling sound, and it rushed very fast, bringing with it a strong gust of wind, followed by a snapping sound. The monster: …
"well!"
Russell shook his head helplessly, looking at the monster under his feet, staring with wide eyes and suspecting the existence of a demon, he couldn't help but sigh.
My lord, times have changed.
He bent down gently, and with a kind look on his face, he stroked the monster's head with his hand, "I will save you right now!"
“No… Don’t!”
White light danced in Russell's palm, and with a gentle touch, the monster instantly turned into burnt charcoal in the eyes of horror.
It didn't turn into ashes like other monsters, it seems it still has some strength.
Russell nodded and observed a second of silence for the monster. “Among your clan, I would like to call you the strongest.”
But in the blink of an eye, his attention was attracted by the strange thing in the coke, which was not an inner elixir.
Instead, it looked like a tattered piece of cloth, shining with gold and seemingly with some words written on it.
When he saw this, Russell laughed immediately. He had performed chivalrous deeds so many times and slayed demons and monsters countless times. Now he finally became the protagonist and killed monsters and got treasures.
I really don’t know, is it a treasure map or the legendary martial arts secret book.
Just as Russell was rubbing his hands excitedly and was about to spit and wash his hands to save his luck, Simu was quick to pick up the strip of cloth.
Ignoring Russell's resentful look, the four of them read word by word, "Tathagata Palm..."
Simu was also shocked. This was the legendary supreme Buddhist spell, and he had heard a lot of talk from the old monk Ikkyu.
This fell into their hands so easily
But that's true. Anything that can be hidden so closely by this monster and survive Russell's attack must be no ordinary thing.
He looked at it with surprise, but soon his face became stiff. Apart from a name and a dozen words, the rest had all been destroyed.
Damn it, even if he wrote the secret book with his feet, it would not be more reliable than this. With just a dozen words, you’re afraid that even God’s illegitimate son wouldn’t be able to practice it!
"Pah, such fun!"
Simu snorted and threw the cloth in his hand to Russell, "I thought I was lucky, but I didn't expect you to be a waste."
This is a top-level Buddhist secret book that even Buddhists may not have. Although he may not practice it, he can exchange it for some treasures from them.
They are very rich, have many followers, and have lots of good things.
You can even tease Ikkyu next door. Who knows, Ikkyu will smash the wooden fish on the spot, allowing Simu to sleep comfortably.
What a pity, it was all for nothing.
Russell took the cloth from Simu's hand and saw the words on it. His eyes suddenly lit up. After a closer look, he found that he had made the same mistakes as Simu.
But it doesn’t matter, he is a man with cheats.
"Do you want to spend 100 energy points to repair the secret book in front of you?"
"Repairing the first form of Tathagata Palm requires 100 energy points."
"Repairing the second form of the Tathagata Palm requires 1,000 energy points."
"Repairing the third form of Tathagata Palm requires 10,000 energy points."
"The ultimate secret to repairing the Tathagata Palm - the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm requires 100,000 energy points."
Looking at the huge amount of energy points, Russell silently shed sad tears, but he also thought clearly that spending 100 energy points on repairs was still quite profitable.
With this thing, wouldn’t the Buddhists regard him as the Holy Son of Buddhism and kneel down and call him daddy
Russell's mouth curled up as he remembered the last time he pretended to be Fahai, with the Mighty Heavenly Dragon in his left hand and the Tathagata Palm in his right hand. Who would dare to question his identity
"Deducing the first move of Tathagata Palm."
"It's being deduced."
Russell pondered for a moment, then gave the order, "Use the first move of Tathagata Palm as a blueprint to integrate the Taoist secrets and deduce a new martial art."
"It requires 500 energy points. Do you want to deduce it?"
"yes!"
In an instant, a series of information flooded into Russell's mind. Russell's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked up into the distance.
He slowly raised his hand and pointed his index finger towards the distance. Behind him, the wind and clouds suddenly changed and a huge shadow slowly condensed. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a finger.
"boom!"
A huge finger fell, and the mountain in the distance suddenly disappeared in half. The huge roar scared the Xiaohe Village in the distance into chaos.
This also scared Simu who was standing nearby. He sat down on the ground immediately, looking at the mountain in the distance which was half gone, with his mouth wide open.
He turned his head tremblingly and looked at Russell stammeringly. Simu now wanted to take back his previous words. He could no longer withstand a slap from Russell, and maybe even a finger.
"What kind of Taoism is this?"
Russell pondered for a moment, looked at the cloth in his hand and spoke slowly.
"The top Taoist spiritual martial arts, the first move of the Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Hand, imprisoning the heaven and earth with one finger."
"Alas!" Russell shook his head bitterly, "I am still too stupid. Looking at this Tathagata Palm and thinking about the Taoist scriptures, I only deduced the first move. I am really ashamed."
He had a look of grief and indignation on his face, and a look of disappointment on his face, "If I were smarter, I would be able to deduce the five forms. Alas, I am so stupid!"
Four eyes:…
Kill me!
ps: 5400 words today. I have an exam tomorrow and a teacher qualification exam at the weekend. I feel a bit overwhelmed. I’ll see if I can update more next week.
Forgive me, Amen.
