Chapter 227 Black Cloth (please vote)
The night of the blood moon was originally Su Daozhi's death.
But after Zhong Shenxiu became the [Herder], the headless Earl became very well-behaved.
Even though there was some uncontrollable desire to kill, Zhong Shenxiu was still under control at this time.
What really made him frown was his own boiling blood.
'Strange... I should have cultivated to the point where I can control my whole body long ago. What's going on with this blood boiling? It seems that it is not mine, but this body that is affected...'
‘Su Daozhi… Su family? ’
Zhong Shenxiu's eyes lit up: 'The Su family is still a county magistrate after all. Maybe there are some secrets left, such as... a certain time, a certain place, a secret that only the blood of the Su family can sense? ’
Even a magical monk would be very moved by the legacy left by a county magistrate's family to future generations.
He walked out of the dilapidated and nearly half-collapsed house and wandered among the ruins.
Following the guidance of his bloodline, Zhong Shenxiu came to a pond.
The pond that originally held goldfish, flowers and plants had long been drained of water, leaving layers of silt underground, emitting a stench.
When Zhong Shenxiu came here, under the bright red moonlight, bubbles kept popping up at the bottom of the pond, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
‘Maybe… it’s also a trap. ’
Zhong Shenxiu was a little hesitant. He was just about to use the Headless Earl to clear the way, but suddenly his eyes moved and he hid aside.
The next moment, the rich darkness overwhelmed him, and even his breath was reduced to an extremely subtle level.
Not long after, another escaping light fell.
Seeing that the escaping light was dim and extremely slow, Zhong Shenxiu knew that the person coming was just a monk in the Gangsha Realm, and his magic was not very good.
After a moment, the black smoke-like escape method dispersed, revealing a middle-aged man with two buns in his hair, a black robe, and a huge black gourd on his back. No matter how he looked, he looked evil.
Looking at the bubbling pond, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he murmured excitedly:
"It is said that misfortune is where blessings depend, and it turns out that the ancients did not deceive me!"
"I, Dong Xiezi, was sent to Qingzhou, but I escaped the recent great purge in Luozhou. I heard that the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect sent elite disciples to come and kill my brothers from the Black Lotus Sect miserably..."
"It is said that the news was leaked directly from Roufeng County in Qingzhou. The sect was furious and sent experts to investigate... I hope you won't call me there. I finally found this underworld and was about to use it to practice Qian Qian. Where is the corpse-killing evil spirit..."
"It is said that this place is home to a large family, but it was involved in rebellion and the main lineage was wiped out... Tsk, tsk, it turns out that the family has a deep foundation."
Dong Xiezi came to the edge of the pond and patted the big gourd behind him.
The mouth of the gourd opens automatically, and a cyclone is released, blowing up the silt at the bottom of the pond and sucking it into the gourd.
As the old mud was scraped away, many white bones were exposed, and a filthy and stinking wind immediately spread to the surroundings. However, Dong Xiazi did not feel any discomfort at all. Instead, his eyes showed excitement: "Not bad, not bad, this place turns out to be... There are so many dead people buried, and after the treasure is taken away, it will be an excellent place to cultivate evil spirits..."
In the time it took to burn an incense stick, a thick layer of the bottom of the pond was scraped off, revealing a layer of stone slabs that had obviously been renovated and designed.
This layer of stone slabs probably usually has the effect of masking the aura, but it was not until this moment that it revealed its extraordinary qualities.
Dong Xiezi's eyes lit up when he saw it. He released a black flying knife weapon and began to attack the stone restriction.
Boom!
Amidst the muffled sound, the ground continued to tremble and dust flew up.
But the stone slabs remained motionless.
"God rewards hard work. Even if I die from exhaustion here today, I still have to break this restriction."
Dong Xiezi became fierce and activated his magic power one after another.
Zhong Shenxiu hid aside and made sure there was no third person nearby, so he couldn't help but secretly wave his sleeves.
An extremely tiny line of blood-red light fluttered out and secretly adhered to the stone slab.
As if sensing the blood aura in it, the stone slab suddenly became soft, like mud, and was gouged out one after another with black flying knives.
"Haha... As expected, Heaven is rewarding me!"
Dong Xiezi was at a loss, but became even more excited.
Not long after, the stone slab was peeled off, revealing something underneath.
It was a black wooden box with a yellow paper talisman attached to the surface.
"Seal? Could it be to prevent the loss of spiritual power..."
Dong Xiezi didn't recognize the cinnabar strokes on the yellow paper talisman at all. Instead, he muttered a few words to himself, raised his hand, and took the box into his hand.
Raising his hand to lift it, the yellow paper talisman fell lightly.
In an instant, the surrounding darkness seemed to become a little thicker.
Zhong Shenxiu, who was hiding, frowned: 'Why do you feel that this is not a treasure... but an... evil thing? ’
This crimson moon wheel really reminded him of some bad memories.
Moreover, it seems that the seal is not to prevent the leakage of vitality, but more like to prevent something in the box from coming out?
'Fortunately I found a scapegoat...'
Zhong Shenxiu was not in a hurry to snatch it, but quietly observed the changes.
Dong Xiezi opened the wooden box, his expression turned to confusion, and he took out a black rag.
On the rag, some patterns are vaguely painted.
Dong Xiezi actually recognized one of them and made a gesture: "This is... the mark of the Underworld Demon Sect? It turns out that this big family has some relationship with the Underworld Demon Sect, one of the six paths of the Demon Sect?"
His expression gradually became fanatical: "The Six Paths of the Demon Sect are the most authentic source of the demonic path. If you can get some benefits, you will be able to benefit from them for a lifetime. This seems to be a picture... but why is it incomplete?"
Dong Xiezi looked at the black cloth and murmured to himself, not realizing that the black cloth was like a black hole, greedily absorbing the crimson moonlight.
Dong Xiezi, who was holding this object, gradually changed his expression.
On the back of his hand, a layer of fine black hair suddenly appeared.
'Sure enough... something that can be sensed by Su Daozhi, a branch of the family, must not be something too good... This thing seems to have great side effects. Is the Su family actually colluding with the devil? It’s not unjust to be exterminated…’
Zhong Shenxiu thought about it and felt that if he continued to look at it, only evil things would appear, and maybe there would be other troubles.
Thinking of this, he secretly released the Poisonous Dragon Flying Sword, and the Xuanyin Zhanpoku Sword Qi suddenly exploded, trapping Dong Xiezi inside.
Thousands of sword energy suddenly erupted, instantly chopping the man into a pile of meat paste.
Immediately, a layer of real fire burned fiercely, turning the remains of Dong Xiezi into ashes.
"Um?"
In the flames, only the rags and the yellow paper talisman were safe and sound.
Zhong Shenxiu thought for a while, took out another box, transported the mana by air, threw the black cloth in, and affixed the talisman on it.
Snapped!
The permeating feeling in the void suddenly disappeared without a trace.
