Lao Bai's screams were short and rapid, and in the blink of an eye, it was silent again.
I knew something must have happened, so I stumbled out with the Tianguan Blade. Seeing that I was exhausted and dizzy, Cang Yao was worried about my condition, so he didn't return to the wind chime, but followed me silently.
The tables and chairs downstairs were all over the place, making a mess.
However, the situation was somewhat beyond my expectations, and there was nothing unclean going on.
Lao Bai was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, his face covered with blood, and he had long lost his human form, especially his right eye, which was swollen to the size of a walnut, with only a small crack left.
Brother Yaozi was riding on him, pinching his neck desperately. The gauze on his shoulders had long been soaked with blood. He was only wearing a vest on his upper body, and his muscles were exaggeratedly bulging. He was originally a top-notch strongman in the world. It seemed that he had used all his strength. Lao Bai couldn't resist at all. He pulled Brother Yaozi's arms with both hands weakly, and he couldn't hold on any longer.
Old man Qi was so scared that he shrank in the corner and trembled. Zhang Xinya and Wushuang were pulling Brother Yaozi, but it was useless. After all, this was Brother Yaozi, not a life-and-death enemy. They couldn't kill him. The effect of pulling and tugging was really minimal.
"Die, go die soon..."
Brother Yaozi's eyes were bloodshot, and a crazy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You burdens, you all deserve to die. If you hadn't dragged me down, I would have been free and easy..."
Zhang Xinya was so anxious that she turned around and saw me coming down. In a hurry, she immediately called "Er Gouzi", directly pointing at the name I dare not face in my life, and shouted for me to help pull Brother Yaozi away...
Lao Bai's only left eye that could be opened had turned white. Seeing that his life was coming to an end, what was there to pull at this time?
I rushed up and hit Brother Yaozi's neck with my elbow on the front and outside. This is the location of the carotid sinus. If the force is not properly controlled, it will beat people to death. Brother Yaozi was crazy and didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all, and was directly flipped out.
I knew the danger of this position, so I naturally held back some of my strength when I attacked. I just wanted to knock him down first and knock him unconscious. Unexpectedly, Brother Yaozi's body was different from that of an ordinary person. He was extremely strong. After taking a solid blow, he just shook his head. Then his scarlet eyes stared at me. Before I could dodge, a heavy punch landed on my face. With a crisp "pop", my eyes went black, and I lay on my back with a "gulp". I didn't need to look in the mirror to know that my face was disfigured, and warm blood was running all over my face. Brother Yaozi screamed and rushed towards me. However, Wushuang was faster. He dodged in front of me and pushed Brother Yaozi away with his shoulder. The two of them fought in a ball. I was hit so hard by Brother Yaozi's punch that I was stunned. After Wushuang tried to stop me, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was because Brother Yaozi taught me all my fighting skills. I knew how terrible his skills were. It took courage to face him.
Listening to the roars of the two, I gradually realized that something was wrong.
Until Wushuang shouted "I will kill you", I didn't dare to play dead, and sat up from the ground.
Brother Yaozi had already lost his mind. Fighting with Wushuang, a humanoid monster, the end can be imagined. At this time, he was already lying on the ground covered in blood. Wushuang rode on him and broke the chair leg with a "click". It seemed that he was about to nail Brother Yaozi to the ground. I rushed over and knocked him aside.
Zhang Xinya hurried over to check on the motionless Brother Yaozi. She actually had some special feelings for her brother. When she saw the bloody face of Brother Yaozi, she raised her head and cursed: "Are you fucking crazy? Are you really going to kill him?"
Wushuang's eyes were red and he was panting heavily. His slightly long bangs drooped down to cover his face. I couldn't see his expression clearly. I only saw him twisting his clothes with his hands and whispering: "I will kill anyone who touches Brother Jingzhe."
Zhang Xinya was angry, but I stopped him with my eyes. I gently patted Wushuang's back of the hand to let him relax a little, and whispered: "Wushuang, don't do this in the future. They are like me, people who can give their lives. It's not easy to mix in our industry. People like us are lucky. People can't live like a dictator."
Wushuang's body stiffened and nodded silently.
I sighed inwardly, knowing that he didn't listen. His childhood experience has shaped his difficult-to-change personality traits. He looks shy, but he is actually very stubborn. He has decided who is good to him, even if it means he is against the whole world. This is not good. He will easily become an executioner who ignores the lives of others. He will live a cold life and have no human taste in the end. I don't expect a few words to change him. It takes time to melt the ice. It takes warm water to soak it slowly.
An internal conflict was eliminated.
I went up to check Brother Yaozi's body. There was no big problem. It was just that his head was hit by Wushuang's continuous heavy blows. Even an iron man couldn't bear it. He fainted and woke up soon.
After hesitating for a while, I asked Zhang Xinya to help him up and slowly unwrapped the gauze on his shoulder.
Like me, his wound was swollen and on the verge of infection.
However, the creepy thing is that his wound is densely covered with green hairs!!
I only have a few sparse hairs, but his are as dense as hairs, and I found that these green hairs have the signs of spreading...
His condition is much more serious than mine. It seems that his madness is also caused by evil magic.
Zhang Xinya was frightened by these green hairs that only grow on evil corpses. She looked at me in a daze. I smiled bitterly, undressed, and let her see my wound.
"What happened?"
Without much explanation, I asked first: "Tell me in detail, I want to find out what this evil magic is all about?"
"I don't know much either, there's nothing unusual."
Zhang Xinya murmured: "After you and Brother Yaozi were injured, you have been resting upstairs. A few of us were guarding downstairs, helping Old Man Qi treat his daughter and son-in-law. As a result, at night, Brother Yaozi suddenly ran downstairs and said that he was dry in the mouth and seemed to have a fever. He wanted to eat ice cream, so Lao Bai went to the nearby store to buy it for him.
You know Lao Bai, he is a playboy. When he came back, he held the ice cream and insisted that Brother Yaozi say thank you before giving it to him.
Then Brother Yaozi looked at him and asked, we are brothers, if you meet any treasure now, will Lao Bai still do something to him?
Lao Bai said, brothers, don't be polite when it's time to do it...
Then..."
"Then he punched me in the face!"
Lao Bai suddenly appeared like a ghost, and his swollen head like a pig's head came in front of Zhang Xinya, pinching his big teeth with his fingers and shaking them back and forth: "Look, look, the teeth are all loose, brother's debt is sister's debt, your brother beat me like this, don't you want to express your gratitude?"
Zhang Xinya raised her eyebrows and spit in his face, Lao Bai didn't care, wiped his face with his hand, took a deep breath, and kept saying "Smells good, it smells good", an intoxicated expression appeared on the pig's head, just like Tian Peng Marshal.
I couldn't stand him, so I let him rest aside, frowning and saying, "Brother Yaozi, did you show any unusual behavior? Did you say anything strange?"
"Strange words..."
Zhang Xinya fell into deep thought, and suddenly her eyes lit up, saying, "Yes, he really said that. After he knocked Lao Bai down with one fist, he stared straight at the door, with a glimmer of greed in his eyes, saying that it was so easy to be free, and he would be free now, just wait a little, and it would come soon, as if something was waiting for him. I thought there was something unclean, but Wan Nianger told me that there were no ghosts here!"
"She, that woman..."
I was horrified: "Brother Yaozi also saw that woman!!"
Through this series of events, I have a better understanding of this evil magic.
This evil magic is a double destruction of the body and the mind. Physically, it constantly takes away people's blood and makes people weak. Mentally, the caster will continue to entangle with it, making people step by step towards madness, and finally step into the abyss of destruction.
In this process, the key lies in the control of the practitioner's mind.
I have seen that woman and I know that she has a fatal attraction. Now it seems that with the continuous destruction of the body, this fatal attraction will be infinitely enhanced, and the woman's bewitching methods will become more and more abundant.
I don't know why. Now the symptoms are very mild. I can only occasionally see that woman flashing in front of my eyes like a fleeting light. I can't see her face clearly. However, referring to Brother Yaozi's performance, it is completely guessed that with the deepening of the symptoms, I may see the woman's face in the end, and she can talk to us!
There is no need for too much evidence. I know how the woman bewitched Brother Yaozi with my eyes closed.
She may have seen the pain deep in Brother Yaozi's heart and told Brother Yaozi that the way to get rid of it is to kill us, because we are Brother Yaozi's shackles. As long as we are free, we can reach the other side...
The whole process of this mysterious evil magic to harm people should be like this. It is very vicious and the heart is worthy of death! !
I looked at Brother Yaozi with some entanglement. If nothing unexpected happened, Brother Yaozi should have seen the real murderer. Unfortunately, he lost his mind and could no longer tell us the truth.
As I expected, Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya knew nothing about this evil magic that even Cang Yao couldn't explain.
"Please ask the master to come out of seclusion!"
Finally, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth to make this decision. There was really no other way. Not only was I in danger, but all the insiders, whether it was Brother Yaozi or Yindi and his wife, were all down. The matter was confusing and I couldn't find the root of it. My intuition told me that this seemingly simple incident was completely beyond my ability.
Unable to wait until dawn, Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya drove away after tying Brother Yaozi tightly with wire, and went back to the mountain to invite my master. Wushuang and I stayed to continue to guard Old Man Qi and his daughter and son-in-law.
Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya came back very quickly, and came back at noon the next day. Unfortunately, my master was not with them.
"Mr. Zhang is in a dead retreat again..."
Lao Bai gritted his teeth and said such a situation.
All of a sudden, I immediately gave up the idea of asking my master to come out of retreat.
People like him are in a dead retreat, not eating or drinking, unless they have some enlightenment and wake up by themselves, otherwise if they are disturbed by outsiders, the consequences will be very serious.
I never want to see him lying half dead in bed like last time again in my life.
It is particularly regrettable for a beautiful woman to become gray-haired and chicken-skinned.
It is the same for heroes. It is even more heartbreaking when a powerful man who swallows mountains and rivers becomes weak and vulnerable.
After a long silence, I found a number.
This number was given to me by Qingzhu when we were at sea. She said that she might go to do some important things. This is her contact information.
During this period, out of the boredom of a lonely bachelor, I occasionally made a phone call to harass her. I really wanted to see the free and easy woman's rage, but without exception, all failed because it was always turned off...
I don't think Qingzhu would be so bored. I have no choice but to take it out now. I just want to try my best. I sent a text message with only one sentence-I am going to die, come quickly, I have a few relics to give to you to thank you for your bamboo leaf green.
The message showed that it was sent successfully. I sighed. As for whether Qingzhu would come, I had no idea, because she had said long ago that I was not my master, and my face was pitiful, and the Tianmeng would not buy it.
In fact, she did not come. Three or four days passed like this. I never saw the little girl again, and I didn't encounter any strange things. Anyway, I had no hope, and I didn't have any resentment. Helping is a favor, and not helping is fate.
The wound on my shoulder was not completely infected, but it was not healed either. It was still swollen, and the green hair grew a little more.
The speed at which this evil magic spreads on me is indeed not as intense as that on Brother Yaozi. Now, the green hair has spread to Brother Yaozi's chest. A living man's upper body is covered with green hair, which looks very creepy. He has completely lost his mind. Every time he opens his eyes, he will howl like a beast. I asked Jingzhe to go out and get some Chinese medicine. According to the records of Qingwei Dao medical skills, I prepared several powerful tranquilizers. Whenever Brother Yaozi struggled violently and the wire was about to break his skin, I pinched his nose and poured the medicine down his throat, and he immediately fell asleep.
The treatment of Yindi and her husband has never been neglected. Old Man Qi has become more and more silent and his body has become more and more hunched. It can be seen that the old man feels guilty. He has guessed that his family has caused something very scary, and even the Taoists in the mountains have fallen into a dilemma of life and death. He feels that he has harmed us. He is a very kind person who would rather sacrifice himself than drag others down. So, I found that he quietly extended the treatment time every day, which would make his daughter and son-in-law wake up as soon as possible, but it would also hurt the foundation, and his future life span would not be very long. After each treatment, he would hide in the bathroom for a long time and did not come out. I lay on the door and eavesdropped, and I could hear his hoarse and suppressed crying.
This calmed me down. It was not too embarrassing to die to save a kind person. At least, it was not bad if there was no other choice. The only fear was that I would sacrifice myself to save a heartless person. I couldn't help but think that if I died for the righteous cause of the people, my master might carry me into the main hall of the Zhenwu Temple, and enjoy the incense and offerings with the martyrs in the Zhenwu Banner, and I would not disgrace his teachings to me.
I did not stop the old man Qi from speeding up the treatment. Yindi and her husband were my only hope now. I hope they can tell me some useful information after they wake up. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If I pull the enemy out of the darkness, I will have a place to go even if I fight to the death. I will not be a coward whether I live or die.
On this day, in the afternoon, I was basking in the sun on the recliner at the door of the store as usual. The warm sunlight fell on my body, which would suppress the evil magic and make me feel more comfortable. My eyes were slightly closed, and the sunlight made my eyelids transparent. I could see a bright red world, which was very comfortable.
Suddenly, the whole world became gloomy. With a "thump", a heavy object hit my lower abdomen.
When beauty is destroyed, people will become angry, and I am no exception. The moment I opened my eyes, a breeze blew outside, lifting a piece of snow-white skirt and hitting my face. I pulled the skirt away angrily, and then I saw a slender figure with long black hair hanging down and a light yellow veil covering her face. From my angle, I can see a snow-white chin and a slightly raised corner of the lips, as if smiling.
Qingzhu?
I rubbed my eyes hard and confirmed it again. Yes, it was Qingzhu. She actually came, still so free and easy, and threw a gourd of bamboo leaf green on my lower abdomen.
"Dying?"
Qingzhu's voice was mixed with a hint of laughter, and she said lightly: "A good man has become a scoundrel. How could the Holy Martial Heavenly Official have a descendant like you? You pretended to be dead with a weak woman. You thought of it."
After a pause, Qingcong pointed at the wine gourd on my lower abdomen: "Another gourd, I want to see how you return it. It's better to leave your Heavenly Official Blade to me."
I rolled over and pulled my collar without saying a word, revealing the wound.
Qingzhu raised her two willow eyebrows, and the eyes that were still as bright as stars in the upper one flashed with lightning and thunder in the next second. I felt the murderous intent in her body as if it was materialized.
"They are coming..."
Qingzhu didn't explain too much, looking into the distance, and only said these four words.
