"Huchi... Huchi..."
Wang Qi was bent over, gasping for breath, her eyes full of fear. She looked at her fingers, ten white and delicate spring onions, and brightly dyed nails trembling, like red blood dripping.
These ten fingers have all been broken, why are they still intact
"Huchi... Huchi..."
Her mind was very chaotic, the only thing that was profound was the piercing pain. But at this time, a voice suddenly floated from the front: "You can hold on, you are very tenacious."
Wang Qi raised her head suddenly, and suddenly saw that the man was still a few steps away, with a bit of curiosity on his face. He stepped on the dry and cracked stone brick road and walked a few steps closer.
As the setting sun slanted, the alley was reflected like a dim light, outlining the outline of a slender body, which was illusory for a while.
The woman's body jerked, and her eyes became even more frightened.
She has performed many missions, and with her outstanding appearance and flexible mind, she is almost invincible. But this time, I was directly stunned to doubt life, not knowing whether I was dead or alive.
"..."
Gu Yu also looked at her curiously. This woman should have been trained. In the situation just now, she could still bite her to death without letting go. This shows the deterrent power of the master—just asking for her name.
It is said that what he just cast was the Unbounded Illusion Technique.
This is his most orthodox offensive Taoism, and he has never slackened in his practice. As his consciousness gradually becomes stronger, his understanding and control of illusions are getting higher and higher.
When casting spells before, it looked like a monster or a snake. Although it frightened people, it was a bit too exaggerated.
He prefers to be more realistic now, and has also developed some effects, just like just now, even if you recover, it is hard to believe what is true and what is false.
"Mr. Gu!"
After a long while, Wang Qi said with difficulty: "We are really sincere, you..."
"Well, I'm a little interested now."
Gu Yu waved his hand and said, "Lead the way."
"yes!"
The woman was overjoyed immediately, as long as he could invite him back, it doesn't matter if his finger is broken, anyway, if he can be connected, it is much better than the master's punishment.
Immediately, she led the way, and the two left the alley.
The border cities are very small. Huozhou has one district and two counties under its jurisdiction, with a total population of just over 700,000. Such a scale, coupled with special ethnic customs, naturally there is no nightlife.
The two of them walked through the dark street, past the sparse pedestrians, and finally stopped in front of a relatively remote community courtyard.
"Just here?"
"Yes, you come with me."
Wang Qi took him in and found a two-storey villa, and said, "The master is inside, please come in."
She left the next sentence and stood guard by the door, showing no intention of going with her.
Gu Yu shrugged, pushed the door open and entered the room alone. The space inside was large and luxuriously decorated. Sitting in the living room was a man in his thirties, with high cheekbones, a big and slightly hooked nose, sharp facial lines, and equally deep eye sockets.
He stood up to greet him, even with a dark smile: "Mr. Gu, I finally invited you here!"
well…
Gu Yu was very worried, and it was the fourth time today that he asked, "Who are you?"
"You can call me Zhang Wei. I'm a businessman. I have a lot of money. I just don't like to show my face."
It's okay, okay, Ya didn't say nonsense like who I am doesn't matter, otherwise he would run away in minutes.
"If you know me, you're not an ordinary businessman. I don't like going around in circles, I just talk straight." Gu Yu said.
"Okay, it's really refreshing! I came to you to ask you for a favor."
"do what?"
"Take me to the Flame Mountain."
"oh?"
He was not surprised, and said, "Why?"
"Do you know Jiaohe Ancient City?" Zhang Wei asked back.
"I don't know much, I'm planning to go."
"Heh, Jiaohe City is the capital of the Cheshi Kingdom. It was built in the Han Dynasty, prospered in the Tang Dynasty, and declined in the Yuan Dynasty. There is a relic in the old city. It is near the government office. It is a group of tombs for babies."
"..."
Gu Yu's heart moved. He looked for information before and seemed to have seen this thing, but he was vague and only a few sentences.
"This group of tombs was discovered 30 years ago, when at least 280 infant bones were excavated. There is no way to verify the origin of the group of tombs, let alone written records. The academic circles are also arguing, some say that the plague, some say that to avoid Foreign enemies slaughtered, and my own parents killed their children. A few years ago, there were rumors that the sound of babies crying could be heard at night, of course, scientific evidence was given, and it was the influence of magnetic wind and sand.”
Zhang Wei's expression suddenly became strange, and he said: "I am from Huozhou. I have been very curious about these legends since I was a child. Until not long ago, I met a scholar who made a conjecture that this group of tombs is not It was caused by the plague, but by sacrifice."
"Cheshi Kingdom is located in an important traffic route, with rich cultural exchanges. Taoism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Shamanism were all spread here. These sects mixed and fought, and each was trusted by the royal family of Cheshi Kingdom for a period of time, and thus developed."
"According to the scholar's conjecture, the group of tombs was created by a priest of a certain sect, and the location is in the Flame Mountain."
"So you want to go see it?"
"Exactly. To be honest, when you came to Huozhou, we all knew that this place was unusual and we dared not venture into it. I came here specially to hope that you would agree."
"Ah… "
Gu Yu listened, paused, and suddenly laughed: "Not enough, not enough."
"What?" Zhang Wei was taken aback.
"Your rhetoric is not sufficient, at least not to impress me."
Gu Yu stared at the other party, half teasing and half mocking: "Is there any reason to make up and pretend to be crazy, think again!"
Ho!
When Zhang Wei heard this, his expression darkened instantly, and he said, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"
"I didn't see your sincerity, goodbye..."
Gu Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense, and got up to leave.
Zhang Wei's eyes flickered, his expression was cloudy and uncertain. It was a risk for him to come out to meet him today, but there was no way, the higher-ups urged him too urgently.
Seeing that the other party was about to go out, he gritted his teeth and clapped his hands.
rub!
From the corners around the villa, several figures suddenly appeared, surrounding Gu Yu.
…
At the same time, Songshan.
It is said that there are ten schools of Buddhism, Sanlun School, Faxiang School, Tiantai School, Huayan School, Zen School, Pure Land School, Vinaya School, and Esoteric School. These eight sects belong to Mahayana Buddhism, and there are two other sects of Hinayana Buddhism, namely Jushe sect and Chengshi sect.
These ten sects are actually localized sects after they were introduced into the Xia Kingdom, with Zen and Pure Land sects having the greatest influence. This Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of the Zen sect, with a prominent reputation.
In a place like this, people come and go every day, and the incense is flourishing.
This is even more so today, because there is a blessing event to be held. Beginning at night, just before dusk, there are countless faithful men and women and tourists outside the huge mountain gate, crowding up the mountain densely. And among them, there is another tall woman, who is leisurely and unrestrained.
She looked up at the mountain gate and the majestic building looming in front of her, and couldn't help chuckling.
