397, The Lower One Overcomes the Higher One (2/2)
Instrument of torture?
Su Wu's eyes focused on the chain made of killing stones and decorated with talismans.
There was a piece of cloth pressed under the chain, and there were many words written on it.
It seems to be a special introduction on how to use this pair of chains.
After condensing the ‘Tianpeng-Wei Linyin’,
This is the second time Su Wu has been reminded of this seal.
He was reminded for the first time,
It was when I saw a magic weapon in the "Zhuhulang Temple" photographed by Jiang Yingying - the Bagua Mirror.
After all, in reality, he has not yet visited the 'Zhuhulang Temple' in person, so he has no way of knowing what the 'Bagua Mirror' is capable of, but the second 'torture instrument' he sees now is very close at hand.
However, these things are all collected by the Inoue family.
It has nothing to do with Su Wu for the time being.
He looked at the chains for a while and then looked away.
As he thought, the 'Inoue family' was indeed not an ordinary small local noble.
This family actually collects the 'Key to the Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine'. Perhaps if you master that 'baby stone', you can master the entire 'Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine'!
Killing stone veins are distributed throughout Dongliu Island.
There are nine main meridians.
The nine main veins are controlled by grand dukes and nobles.
Some branches and sub-bloodlines are handled by the subordinate nobles and ministers.
Even if it is a second-class noble,
He must also be an aristocratic nobleman with an immortal status.
It is really rare for the 'Inoue family' to secretly possess a secret key that may be a branch of the killing stone vein.
This may hide some unknown secrets.
as well as,
In the long iron box of the killing stone, there is also a set of 'Secret Ritual of the Dragon of One Hundred Thoughts Entering the Ink Diagram'.
There are already more and more things about the Inoue family that surprise Su Wu.
"As expected, they are all here..."
Haruko checked several things in the box.
He held the knife made of killing stone in his hand.
She glanced sideways at the sword at Su Wu's waist.
Confused eyes.
She remembered clearly how Abu had chopped off the 'Girl in the Stone' with this knife.
A high-quality sword made of ordinary iron stone.
It actually has such power?
Or……
Haruko pursed her lips, closed the box, stood up and said to Su Wu, "Abu, can you hold this box for me? The contents inside are very important to the Inoue family.
If you can help me take care of it,
I will definitely reward you heavily! "
"Happy to oblige."
Su Wu nodded, picked up the copper box with one arm, and carried it on his shoulder.
His physical strength is already 'inhuman',
Carrying such a heavy box on his shoulders was a piece of cake for him.
Haruko looked silent,
Holding the knife he took out from the box, he walked up to his father, who had turned into a stone figurine, and looked at his father's face carefully.
In fact, Toshio Inoue cares deeply about Haruko.
In this current era,
Girls from aristocratic families are raised in boudoir since childhood and are strictly prohibited from contact with men. When they grow up, they will become tools for aristocratic marriages and be married off by their parents to other families. They will be picked and picked by the noble sons and even old men. , scrawling through this life.
But Haruko's life is completely different from that of other aristocratic women.
She had a complete childhood like catching hares with her friends in the countryside, filling mouse holes with water and setting fire to catch mice, and playing hide and seek with her friends in the manor.
Even though I have grown into a young girl now,
Her father never restricted her freedom.
I respect her ideal of ‘becoming a gentleman’ even more.
Yes,
Although Haruko has never met her biological mother,
But she has received double the love from her father.
Haruko looked at her father's face that had turned into stone for a long time.
She knelt down on her knees seriously,
His forehead was on the floor.
He said solemnly: "Father, I will live a good life!
I will definitely revitalize the Inoue family and avenge you! "
The girl's voice was filled with tears.
She stood up in a hurry,
His eyes lingered between the stone figurines transformed by his father and the fat servant girl.
at a certain moment,
Qingzi suddenly drew the knife,
Uh-huh!
The sharp killing stone blade cut through the servant woman's arm that was holding her father tightly, and separated the father and the servant woman!
When Su Wu saw this scene, his eyes were a little surprised.
He originally thought that out of respect for her father, Haruko might allow Toshio Inoue and his beloved servant girl to be buried together in the end. Unexpectedly, in the end, Haruko still stubbornly kept the stone figurines of her father and the servant girl. The figurines are divided,
The two cannot be buried in the same cave.
From all this, we can see that this Haruko has a rather tough temperament.
While being tough, he is also quite paranoid.
With tears on her cheeks, Haruko walked up to her father's stone figurine and tried hard to pick it up.
But her father who was turned into a stone figurine was too heavy. No matter how hard she tried, he remained firmly in place and motionless.
Su Wu sighed. He stretched out his hand to hold Qingzi's father's arm and used it as a fulcrum to easily lift the stone figurine.
"Miss Haruko, I'm just here to help you."
Qingzi, who was desperate for a moment, saw Su Wu lift the stone figurines with just one hand, and immediately thanked Su Wu: "Thank you so much, Abu, just help me move the stone figurines to the central hall and place them there.
As the head of the Inoue family, my father
You can't die in a place like this without any honor. "
"good."
Su Wu carried a big box on his shoulders.
One hand also lifted a stone figurine.
Following Haruko, Omu and his family gathered in the central hall.
In the current Inoue family courtyard,
There are dead bodies everywhere,
On the way to the central hall, Haruko gathered some servants and samurai. There were no more than fifteen people in the group. Finally, they broke open the door of the central hall and gathered in the central hall.
I still don’t know where the ‘Bridge Princess’ is wandering,
However, the courtyard is still filled with a faint and strange charm belonging to this fierce beast, so it can be determined that it has not gone far away, and is most likely still wandering in the courtyard, and maybe it will come to the central hall at some time.
The warriors and servants gathered in the central hall were very anxious.
Anxious for his own life,
But he didn't dare to escape alone.
"Miss Haruko!
Where do we go now?
Please decide! "
While everyone was anxious, a rather sturdy samurai emerged from the crowd. He bowed to Haruko, who was rummaging for something in the central hall. Then he immediately stood up and asked Haruko, "Now that the master of the house has unfortunately passed away, as a His eldest daughter, Miss Haruko, you are now the actual head of the Inoue family.
What are you going to do?
Please give the orders! "
Haruko rummaged through places in the nave where her father might have hidden treasures.
Put all the collected treasures in the box carried on Su Wu's shoulder.
The servants and warriors couldn't stop looking at the box.
Even the warrior who spoke out,
Most of the time, his eyes stayed on the box on Su Wu's shoulder.
The girl looked a little confused when she was questioned by the strong warrior.
In fact, she just wanted to save a few more people, just to save a few more people. She had not thought about how to arrange these people.
Giving orders for what?
The strong samurai saw the girl's expression, and a smile appeared on his fleshy face: "If Miss Haruko has not made any plans in her heart, why not let me, Saburo Hirano! Temporarily take over the power of the elder of the family,
Take the lady out of danger!
After everything is safe,
Let’s plan again! "
Su Wu remained silent.
He bears the face of his original owner, Abu, and looks rather immature in the eyes of the strong warrior.
Although he is tall and eye-catching.
But for a strong samurai, he was just tall.
Even the sword worn on his waist was subconsciously ignored by the strong warrior.
"yes!
Miss Haruko, Brother Hirano’s bravery is undoubtedly the best among us Seven Samurai.
Worship him as the elder of the family,
He will definitely be able to take Miss Haruko out of danger! "
"Please accept Hirano Saburo as the elder of the family!"
"Miss Haruko, what are you still hesitating about?!"
A group of warriors behind ‘Saburo Hirano’ shouted,
Some people even took out their bright swords and waved them in the hall.
Hirano Saburo observed Haruko's expression,
He secretly stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. He saw Haruko frequently looking at the tall young man next to him, as if he couldn't resist his offensive and began to seek other people's opinions. Hirano Saburo took another step forward and asked Haruko directly: "Haruko Miss, you need to burn incense, take a bath, tidy up your crown, and perform the rites of death for your elders!
Things are tense now,
Hashihime will arrive at any time,
All those rituals can be dispensed with!
As long as you treat me like a child, I will become the head of the Inoue family, and I will be Miss Haruko! "
"Abu...
is that so? "Qingzi looked at Su Wu for help.
Su Wu frowned and stared at the samurai Hirano Saburo who took advantage of others' danger and attempted to overpower him: "The elder is just the master's retainer. Even though he can be regarded as his equal and relied on by the master,
How can there be the so-called "earth seat" ceremony?
You are obviously taking advantage of the situation to force Miss Haruko and want to reverse their status!
Using evil intentions on a girl who just lost her father,
What a disgrace to the samurai! "
Uh-huh!
Hirano Saburo suddenly pulled out his sword and stared at Su Wu angrily: "Baga!
We have seen with our own eyes that Mr. Inoue bowed down to a samurai who came from the prosperous Tang Dynasty and worshiped him as the elder of the family!
How could I lie about this? !
The ritual of paying homage to an elder may not be like this in other families.
But that’s how it is in our Inoue family!
How dare you insult my honor as a samurai—Saburo Hirano—"
Saburo Hirano held the sword and struck Su Wu's neck with one strike!
Qingzi next to her looked pale, and immediately drew out her knife to help Su Wu.
However,
Her knife was only half drawn,
The ghostly hand under Su Wu's armpit suddenly stretched out, suddenly grabbed the bun on the top of Saburo Hirano's head, and lifted him up!
Then, Su Wu took out the ‘Big Red Lotus Fetal Treasure’ with his free right hand, and slashed Hirano Saburo’s neck with a knife——
Plop!
The headless corpse fell on its back, black blood spurting out of its neck!
The dark hand covered with colorful silk threads grasped a glaring human head.
Su Wu’s ghost hand held the human head,
The great red lotus womb in the right hand has been returned to its sheath.
He looked at everyone present with cold eyes: "Does anyone still want to make a noise now?"
Plop! Plop! Plop!
All the noisy warriors fell to their knees.
The servants behind them were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Su Wu threw Hirano Saburo's head to the ground and retracted his ghost hand under his armpit. He looked sideways at Haruko: "Miss Haruko, I suggest you give them a sum of money and allow them to leave the Inoue family and make their own living.
From then on,
Their life and death have nothing to do with us. "
Qingzi stared at Su Wu blankly, without any reaction for a while.
Su Wu lowered his head and looked into Qingzi's eyes: "Miss Qingzi?"
"Okay!"
Qingzi responded immediately.
She lowered her head: "Just follow what Abu said!"
