Chapter 277: Soul Summoning Talisman

The big and small Ni'er were worshipping the necklace pendant with a pious look on their faces, and they didn't realize that I had quietly sneaked up behind them. With a loud shout, the two brothers were frightened and jumped up.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

I could roughly see that the big Ni'er was just a decoration. With a urine bag hanging on him, where could he go? The little Ni'er seemed to have some tricks, so I went up and attacked the little Ni'er directly.

It happened so fast that Xiao Nian'er just turned around and the Tianguan Blade was already swinging down on his head. I gathered all my strength and could faintly hear the "whoosh" sound of the Tianguan Blade falling. If the stick hit him hard, he would have died on the spot, but the master's reaction speed was fast and he tilted his head in time. The stick finally landed on his shoulder with a loud "bang". Xiao Nian'er screamed and fell to the ground immediately. Half of his body could not move and he could only wail on the ground.

"Oh my god!"

Da Nian'er screamed and didn't care about his brothers. While I was dealing with Xiao Nian'er, he crouched and escaped from the side.

"Murder! Murder! This kid is crazy..."

This grandson screamed while running.

I sneered and looked back and chased him immediately, thinking, why are you blaming me at this time? As long as you are a person, who would worship that thing? If it is some evil Buddha statues or other objects, it is understandable that you worship them as a good thing without knowing it, but is the appearance of the pendant the same as the Buddha statue? In the eyes of people who don't know it, it is just a pendant with a strange shape. Who would think of it as metaphysics? Since you worship it, you must know what the pattern means. When I approached just now, I also took a look and saw it more clearly. The jagged edge of the pendant was full of some strange and mysterious symbols like cloud patterns. It was definitely an evil thing. There was a big problem with these two brothers!

In the blink of an eye, Da Nier had climbed up the ladder. Seeing that I was getting closer and closer to him, he actually pulled out the urine bag hanging on his waist and threw it at me fiercely.

I turned sideways to avoid this sudden attack. The urine bag exploded not far away, and a bubble of yellow urine flew everywhere, making my trouser legs all over. I was even more annoyed and chased after him relentlessly.

This guy usually looks half dead with a urine bag hanging on his head, and he is also very slow in doing his work. But now he is very agile. In a short moment, he has already escaped to the deck. When I went out, I saw him running wildly on the deck, screaming as he ran: "This kid is crazy, possessed by evil spirits, and wants to kill people..."

It was early in the morning, and both the crew and my master were on the deck, and they were immediately attracted by the screams of Da Nian'er.

Wushuang reacted the fastest and rushed towards this side.

When Da Nian'er saw Wushuang, he was as happy as if he had seen a savior. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but a heavy punch landed on his face unexpectedly, and two big yellow front teeth flew into the air. Da Nian'er fell on his back and kept twitching.

I flew over and raised the Tianguan Blade to strike. The old one-eyed man who had just arrived immediately protected Da Nian'er. Seeing that the stick was going to kill the old one-eyed man first, I had no choice but to stop.

"What the hell is going on?"

The old one-eyed man was also frightened by my fierce blow. He gasped and calmed down. He immediately said: "Brother Wei, I don't know what my brother did to offend you and make you so angry. I will apologize for him first, and you will take the weapon first. How about it? He is a rough man who doesn't know etiquette. It's not worth it to bleed and kill people!"

He is so old and has such an attitude. I was a little at a loss for a while. I hesitated for a while and then said patiently: "Uncle, don't be fooled by him. There is something wrong with these two brothers. They are probably not human beings. I saw it with my own eyes!!"

At this time, Da Nier finally recovered from Wushuang's punch. His mouth was full of blood and his words were stammering. He struggled to get up half of his body and cursed: "You are not a human being, and your whole family is not a human being..."

The old one-eyed man was right beside him. He probably felt safer now, so he kept yelling and yelling at Wushuang, feeling very aggrieved: "He is the one possessed by the evil spirit, he is the one!! Why did you hit me!!"

Wushuang blushed when he heard what he said, scratched his head shyly, smiled at Da Nian'er with an embarrassed look, and then said: "It doesn't matter whether you are a human or not. If Brother Jingzhe hits you, I will hit you too. If he continues to hit you, I will still hit you..."

Da Nian'er was out of breath and almost went over.

The old one-eyed man couldn't tell right from wrong because of what I said, and he just subconsciously kept a little distance from Da Nian'er.

At this time, my master and the others arrived one after another, and several of them kept staring at Da Nian'er, which made Da Nian'er scared, and kept mumbling to explain that he was not a monster.

"Jingzhe, what's going on?"

My master looked back at me and asked, "He... looks fine."

"That's right, the witch tribe is so changeable that it's hard to tell with the naked eye."

I sighed and said, "The only way to tell them apart is to... observe their beliefs and behaviors."

My master's eyebrows stood up when he heard the word "witch tribe". Obviously, he also knew about this kind of thing.

The witch tribe is not human. Although the word "tribe" is in their name, they are actually a kind of mountain spirits. They were born in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the southwest. They are some animals or plants that were nurtured in the miasma of the swamp and became spirits. They are born to know witchcraft! !

Once this kind of thing has Taoism and turns into a human form, even Zhang Xinya's yin-yang eyes can't see through it. It is said that they worship the moon and stars and worship them every night. This is the only way to determine the witch clan. Of course, there is another saying that every time the sky dog ​​eats the moon, the witch clan will grow a layer of black and brown fluff on their bodies. This is the only time they will show up, but this saying has not been confirmed.

My master asked me how I knew it. I looked at Da Nian'er and thought that with so many people around, he shouldn't be able to make any trouble, so I asked my master and the others to follow me. Brother Yaozi picked up Da Nian'er and returned to the fish cabin.

Xiao Nian'er was still lying in the fish cabin, humming constantly. It should be because I hit him too hard with the stick, which hurt his bones and muscles. He couldn't stand up for a while. When he saw me coming in, he was so scared that he curled up into a ball.

I ignored him, picked up the pendant from the ground and handed it to my master, saying softly: "Master, look at this thing!"

My master took it with some doubts, but after looking at the pendant for a while, he drew the ancient sword from his waist without saying a word and chopped it at Da Nier's head.

"Wait!!"

The old one-eyed man had been a little bit withdrawn, but now he was like having a seizure, with his arms spread out in front of Da Ni'er, and he closed his eyes and said loudly and quickly: "Mr. Zhang, it's a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding, the thing in your hand is the token of the Queen of the Sea, it has nothing to do with the witch clan!"

My master stopped the moment the sword touched his forehead, frowned and said: "You know it too?!"

The old one-eyed man was scared by my master's look, and was afraid that my master would cut his head with a sword, so he hurriedly said: "Of course I know, we all worship the Queen of the Sea, but we are all real people. If we have such powerful abilities, why would we fall to this point? Everyone here has a token of the Queen of the Sea!"

Sure enough, when he heard what he said, all the crew members crowded in the fish hold took out the same pendant from their collars.

Seeing this, my master slowly put down the sword in his hand.

The old one-eyed man breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and said with a wry smile: "The Queen of the Sea is the god of our Hai Gang. To be honest, we don't believe in the Three Pure Ones or the Tathagata Buddha, but the Queen of the Sea. We have worshipped this thing since we were young. We are really not from the witch clan!

However, I tell you, the Queen of the Sea is very effective. When I was young, I was a bastard and a gambler. Whenever I got the regular money, I couldn't help but go to play a few games. Whenever I played money, I would worship the Queen of the Sea first. I would definitely kill everyone on the same day. At that time, I also won a fortune. I spent money lavishly and didn't leave much money. Later, I guess I didn't do anything good, and the Queen of the Sea couldn't bear it, so she stopped blessing me, and gradually it came to this point!"

Another person also said: "Yes, the Queen of the Sea is really effective. One year we encountered a tsunami at sea. It was originally certain that we would die. A group of people hid in the cabin and worshipped the Queen of the Sea and waited for death. As a result, we didn't die after a long time. When we went out, hey, the tsunami was over!"

"..."

I looked strange, thinking, is there really someone in this world who worships this thing? The witch clan is rarely seen in a hundred years. If one or two of them are witch clans, it is believable. If the whole boat is full of witch clans, then it is really a chaos of heaven and earth, which is impossible to happen.

It seems that I really blamed the big and small Nian'er wrongly?

My master asked: "When did you start to believe in the Goddess of the Sea?"

"It's been a long time..."

The old one-eyed man said: "My son is like this, so am I, my father, and my grandfather are all like this. It is said that since our Hai Gang was established, we have started to believe in the Goddess of the Sea..."

My master has long said that the origin of the Hai Gang was originally a group of fishermen who knew nothing. Because they found a relic on the sea and gained skills, they made a fortune.

In other words, this symbol comes from that relic?

Is that relic related to the witch clan?

That's too shocking. Those who know about it know how terrible the Wu Clan is. I only learned about this thing from the book Yanshi Mechanical Technique. It is said that if one appears, it will mess up the yin and yang and cause all living things to suffer. It is the most ferocious mountain monster. People say that Hanba is terrible. Once it appears, the land will be barren for thousands of miles. In fact, this Wu Clan is much more powerful than Hanba! !

I thought a lot, and when I regained my composure, I felt pity for the old one-eyed man and said, "If I say that you are in such a state now, it is actually all because of the token of the Sea Goddess, do you believe it?

For example, you, a person's lifetime money is fixed, and the amount is fixed. You were helped by the token and had good luck. You squandered your lifetime money in the first few years, and naturally fell into poverty in the second half of your life. And the money you spent in the second half of your life is no longer the money you were destined to spend. There is a price for spending money that should not be spent. Your eye is the price. In the future, you will be short of weight. As long as you need to spend money every day, you will lose money every day!"

After saying that, I looked at the one who said that the Sea Goddess saved his life, and said as if commenting on it, "Brother, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God. It's terrible if you overdraw your wealth, and your limbs will suffer disasters, but if you overdraw your life, you have to pay with your life! When the tsunami occurred, it was actually the end of your life, but you survived. This life is no longer yours. Look at what you have become now. You have squinted your eyes and can only see about ten meters around you, right? It took me a long time to come back to my senses after talking to you, and your ears are not working well either, right? And these arms and legs, look at how thin they are, I guess all the muscles in the body are almost atrophied, right? Brother, keep working hard, you will be the next Hawking! That's not enough, if I'm not mistaken, not long after you survived, someone in your family died, right? Well...either your parents or your children, it must be these two. I can tell from your hooked nose that you are a mean and ungrateful person, and the death of your wife may be a good thing for you, so it shouldn't be your wife who died, it must be your closest person..."

The man's face turned pale, obviously I was right.

The old one-eyed man stammered, "Brother Wei, it's not that mysterious, right..."

"It's not that mysterious? Think about it carefully. After worshipping the Sea Goddess, how many of you Hai Gang members can finally have a good end? Look at all the people on your boat. They are from the same village. How many people are there in a small fishing village? You can easily pull out a dozen disabled people..."

I sneered, and seeing the old one-eyed man's face getting paler and paler, I pulled the pendant off his neck: "Some symbols in this world are not just symbols. They are connected to the way of heaven and have unpredictable power of ghosts and gods. Otherwise, how can the Taoist talisman paper be so effective and powerful? The token of the Sea Goddess you are talking about is actually a soul-calling talisman. This thing can communicate the power of witchcraft. It is only powerful when used by the witch clan. If ordinary people use it, it is a sacrifice! Do you understand? Sacrifice!! While it satisfies your wishes, it is also sacrificing yourself. This is the way of heaven. The way of heaven is fair. Everything has a price!"

The crew members around me turned pale after hearing what I said, and they obviously had too many associations.

After hearing what I said, the old man Li, who had been smoking a pipe, seemed to be stimulated by something. His pipe fell to the ground with a "click" and he said in a lost voice: "Sacrifice? You just said - sacrifice!!"

My face suddenly changed, and I tightly grasped the summoning talisman in my hand: "Yes, sacrifice, yes, sacrifice means this!! They believe in this thing. Whenever they are at a loss, they will worship the Queen of the Sea. And this is District 17, which is notorious. The members of the Hai Gang who came here are actually afraid in their hearts. They will subconsciously pray to the gods and Buddhas, but the result... The power of witchcraft is sensed by the mermaids.

It turns out that the so-called sacrifice is actually a person!!!

This is the key to open the door to District 17!!"
