Chapter 1209 Five Coffins (22)
In a deserted village.
The mule and carriage stopped in front of a relatively spacious house. Su Wu stretched out his hand to push the two wooden doors that were swaying in the wind. The wooden doors fell down with a roar, throwing up a cloud of snow dust.
Everyone stepped on the two broken door panels and filed into the wide courtyard.
“You guys stay here for a moment.
No need to clean the yard. "Su Wu spoke to everyone for a few words, then took out a few paper figures. He wrote the names of 'Sun Ji', 'Sun Jiu', and 'Li She' on the backs of the paper figures, and looked at the three words The paper man ignited spontaneously without fire, and he did not stop. As his mind turned, a green mist began to billow around him——
Hei Nuo, Bai Ju, and Grand Master Dacheng emerged from the mist and bowed to him.
The three great masters have appeared from time to time in the past few days, and the great master Dacheng has appeared every morning and dusk to discuss boxing theory and boxing techniques with Su Wu, teach Ding Yin boxing techniques, and help him to strengthen his physical body. Therefore, today The three of them were not surprised when Su Wu summoned them. After bowing, they stood aside——
After the three appeared, there seemed to be ripples in the void.
Three tangible figures appeared in the invisible ripples.
'Sun Ji', 'Sun Jiu' uncle and nephew who were very good at carpentry in Taoyuan Village, and the hunter 'Li She' stood behind Su Wu. They looked around and finally focused on Su Wu.
The three of them wanted to ask Su Wu something, but when they saw the movements of Su Wu's hands, they temporarily suppressed their questions and stood around with the three princes who were born in ghost dreams and the people who had followed Su Wu. Silent.
At this time, everyone was silent and stared at Su Wu's movements.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn.
Su Wu ignored the changes in the expressions of the people around him. He pinched his fingers and grabbed a purple-black talisman with one hand. He raised his sword finger with the other hand and wrote four square and similar words on the purple-black talisman. Chinese characters, but they are not written in Chinese characters——
The righteousness talisman was written on the purple and black talisman paper. The purple and black talisman paper could not bear it. It was torn in an instant, and then burned!
"Open the door to Hades!"
The message conveyed in the righteousness talisman penetrated the underworld and reached the underworld.
A pair of pale green eyes had just grown out of the cracks in the virtual space, and they were suddenly pressed by four writings that exuded awe-inspiring aura, and they retreated again in an instant!
Immediately afterwards, the ground covered with fresh snow turned dark, and the blue sky turned into a hazy yellow.
On the dark earth, ravines appeared.
The ‘underworld’ has opened its door to Su Wu at this time!
"Please come up and talk to the Lord of the Underworld!" Su Wu looked at the gloomy ravines, his mind wandered as he thought, and he opened his mouth to make a burst of illusory and ethereal sounds.
Such sounds were transmitted into the ravines and the underworld, and rippled layer by layer in the underworld!
As a result, a series of soul-calling flags and soul-drawing sticks suddenly stood up from the ravine of the underworld, and were planted from the towering mountain peaks in the distance until they were close to Su Wu.
A handsome middle-aged man wearing a black cloak and a green cross-collared robe walked along the long road connected by soul-drawing sticks and soul-drawing flags - he walked to Su Wu in the next moment!
Hei Nuo, Bai Ju, and Dacheng looked at the middle-aged man who had crossed an unknown distance to the underworld and walked up to Su Wu in one step. Their eyes were horrified, and a heavy look of fear appeared on their faces.
Sun Ji, Uncle Sun Jiu, and Li She looked at each other. The three of them each took out the various tools they carried with them, and silently took a few steps back. They stood a few steps away from Su Wu and the Lord of the Underworld, who were standing side by side, and placed themselves on the two sides. after.
'Lord of the Underworld' - Xinsheng Yuanshen looked around. His eyes first stopped at Qingmiao, Xiuxiu, and Li Hu, and then looked at Sun Ji, Sun Ji, and Li She who came out of Taoyuan Village. The man looked a little surprised: "People from the Gushi Ruins?"
When the three people heard the words of Xinsheng Yuanshen, they all looked puzzled. They didn't understand what they meant by "Gu Shi Ru"?
Xin Sheng Yuanshen shook his head and did not explain anything to the three of them. He turned to look at Su Wu with a smile on his face: "I see that little friend has Zhong Sui's cause and effect...
Have you met him? "
"I have met him." Su Wu replied, "But this King Su is very different from what I thought. When I met him, he actually planned to practice Taoism. In order to get him back to the right path, I also spent a lot of time talking.”
"He plans to practice Taoism?" Heart Saint Yuanshen did not expect that things would develop like this. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "This time is a little different from the last time.
Differences are a good thing. "
"This time, last time?" Su Wu grasped the key to Xinsheng's words.
Xinsheng looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Little friend, don't you know the meaning of my words?"
"I don't know if what I think about this time and the last time are the same as what the senior said about this time and the last time." Su Wu shook his head.
The last time he thought about was the 'history' before his own simulation.
At this time in history, King Su had already figured out the clues of the righteousness talisman, and he would fully understand the righteousness talisman once he got the terma paper in his hand.
But now, although Zhong Sui has Su Wu's guidance, it will probably take some time to create the prototype of the righteousness talisman.
Is what Xinsheng said this time and the last time consistent with what he thought?
"It's what you think." Xin Sheng waved his hand and said, "My little friend, call me, call these three people who returned to the ruins, and call the dead souls in the ghost dream that my old friend held. Summoned over——
What is the purpose of setting up such a big battle? "
Su Wu glanced at Xinsheng Yuanshen. He always felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something and changed the topic without leaving any trace. However, he could not grasp this fleeting loophole, so he temporarily suppressed his thoughts and turned around. He looked at Sun Ji and Sun Jiu, his uncle and nephew, and bowed to them, and they also returned the salute to him.
He straightened up and said with an apologetic expression: "This time I didn't summon you all with the tokens you left for me. It's really because I think it would be more formal to summon you with paper figures.
And I am calling you here this time for the matter of the ‘coffin’. "
Sun Ji heard what Su Wu said and waved his hand on the spot: "I promised you earlier that I would build a coffin for you. This is something we have agreed on a long time ago. Just say hello to me and I will make it." Work has started, there is no need to go to such trouble——"
Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Wu shaking his head.
Su Wu looked even more apologetic and said: "This time I asked you to build more than one coffin for me - I want to ask you to build five coffins for me within three days."
Sun Ji's eyes narrowed after hearing Su Wu's words. Before he could speak, the younger Sun Jiu next to him had already jumped up and exclaimed: "Five coffins?! How can this be done!"
You don’t know how valuable the coffin our family has prepared for you is!
That kind of material is the dark wood floating down from the upper reaches of the Taoyuan River - to build such a coffin, our Sun family's vitality will be damaged, let alone five coffins? !
Even if we can build five coffins, our entire Sun family will be completely depressed!
The competition in the village is so fierce that once the clan declines, it is not far away from being wiped out!
No, no, we can never agree to this request! "
Sun Jiu was jumping up and down next to him, refusing very simply.
His uncle did not stop Sun Jiu from speaking, but let Sun Jiu finish his words, sighed, and shook his head at Su Wu: "If I don't want to help you, I really can't.
If I help you, I will be ashamed of the entire Sun family.
The entire Sun family will be destroyed because of what I did today! "
When he said this, he paused for a moment and then said: "No matter how big the event is, even if the sky is about to collapse, the earth is about to sink, or the end of the world is coming - I can't help you with this."
"If ordinary materials are used to make a coffin..." Before Su Wu finished speaking, Xin Sheng shook his head and interrupted.
Xin Sheng said: "They said they would make a coffin for you out of the gloomy wood floating from the upper reaches of the Yuan River. Naturally, it is because this wood can best bear the death disaster you face next time. Ordinary coffins will definitely not work - if you are If you don’t want to live, you just want to let your body rot in the soil, then you can use whatever coffin you want.”
After explaining a few words to Su Wu, Xin Sheng turned to Sun Ji and Sun Jiu's uncle and nephew, and said, "I wonder if the current Gushi Ruins are the same as what I saw at that time?
After all, Gushi Ruins is changing all the time, there are always people coming and going.
At the current Gushi Ruins, is it still the ‘sacrificial wine’ who is responsible for the sacrifices of the patriarchs of the heavens and the earth? "
Sun Jiu's eyes were blank when he heard this, and he looked at his clan uncle Sun Ji.
Sun Ji bowed to the Heart Sage, and then said: "What you said is too old for the young people of Taoyuan Village today. I have never heard of the name 'Gu Shi Xu', but What you are talking about, I have heard from people of the older generation - the sacrificial wine secretly drank the 'scented oil' sacrificed to the head of the Heaven and Earth clan, and was pushed off the altar by everyone, fell into the Yuan River, and transformed into Countless carp.
The head of the Heaven and Earth clan eats carp, and every year in our village, he selects a family member to eat as a sacrifice.
Until later, a man who called himself "Diaosou" stayed by the Yuan River. The Heaven and Earth Clan no longer ate carp in the river, and he no longer ate the Clan at will. It was only when the Clan was in decline that the Heaven and Earth Clan finally He shows up to eat people and wipe out his clan name, and even Diaosou can't stop him.
——Diaosou only cares about fishing and never pays attention to anything in the village.
Later, among the surnames, four more surnames, "Han, Zhou, Zhao and Ma" suddenly emerged and took charge of the entire Taoyuan Village. There was a Han family member named "Han Ping" who became increasingly powerful and began to order Diaosou to become his vassal and pay tribute. …
However, this kind of homage and tribute only lasted for a while. Now Mr. Han also fell into the Yuan River and was fed to the Yuan River carps.
Until now, we still don’t know the means by which Diaosou offered sacrifices to the patriarch of heaven and earth. "
"I don't know this 'Diaosou'." After hearing what Sun Ji said, Xin Sheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Nowadays, Yuanhe carp is eaten by people, and the surnames and sects in your village also Only the one with the most decadent power can be eaten by the Heaven and Earth Sect Leader.
However, the head of the Heaven and Earth Sect did not turn around to devour the Gushi Ruins and reduce the size of the Gushi Ruins due to lack of sacrifices.
——I guess that this old man might be using himself as a bait to feed the ‘Heaven and Earth Clan Chief’. "
When the three people in Taoyuan Village heard Xin Sheng's speculation, they all looked horrified and fell silent.
Xinshengze continued: "You are currently unwilling to build five coffins for my little friend, not because you do not have the materials to build coffins, but once the materials are used, the accumulation of the clan will be lost. If it survives, its power will decline, and then it will be swallowed up by the Heaven and Earth Sect, and it will become extinct from then on, it will become a foreseeable thing, shouldn't it be like this? "
"Exactly." Sun Ji nodded.
"Su Wu, is there any way you can protect them when they lack the foundation and accumulation?
Until they build up their foundation again, there is no longer any danger of the clan being wiped out? "Xin Sheng looked at Su Wu.
Su Wu turned his attention to Li She.
Li She shook his head: "The Li family has been hunters for generations. Although they can handle weapons and are better than other sects, with the power of the Li family, they cannot protect the entire Sun family..."
Su Wu also shook his head: "I didn't ask Mr. Li to protect Mr. Sun.
Brother Li, do you still remember the things buried under the peach blossom tree? "
"That thing..." Li She was distracted for a moment, and then continued, "If we can use the power of that thing, not only will the Sun family not be destroyed, but we can rely on it to bring back more "Gloomy Wood" from the upper reaches of the Taoyuan River. ’, maybe the clan power will flourish as a result...
However, our Li family spent all our efforts to send you a breath of that thing. From now on, it is no longer possible to rely on its power. It is not easy to borrow its power..."
"What is it?" Xin Sheng asked curiously.
Su Wu turned to look at him, and drew a few handwritings with the righteousness talisman on his palm, showing them to Xin Sheng for a moment.
In the next moment, he directly moved his wisdom sword to kill all thoughts related to the righteousness talisman.
At the moment, the nameless mystery is still under seal by Taoyuan Village. Normally, thinking about it will not cause any trouble, but you are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the unexpected. At this critical moment, the last thing to happen is another unexpected incident!
"I see..." Xin Sheng looked at the rapidly fading righteousness charm in Su Wu's palm and nodded thoughtfully.
He frowned and said in a low voice: "It's actually this terrifying thing...let me think about it..."
He paced in the small courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Everyone was waiting for him.
After a long time, he suddenly stopped and waved to Li She: "Let me borrow the sword!"
Hearing this, Li She took off the hatchet he was carrying on his back and handed it into Xin Sheng's hands - Xin Sheng grabbed the hatchet and raised it towards the index finger of his right hand!
Uh-huh!
He cut off his index finger directly!
There was no blood at the place where the finger was cut off, but the finger fell off from the Heart Saint Yuanshen. The Heart Saint Yuanshen became slightly transparent, and a new finger grew out of the broken part of the finger.
Such changes in Xinsheng's body are almost undetectable.
Only a few people with subtle perceptions present noticed that the figure of the Saint of Heart faded slightly.
Seeing that Xin Sheng was like this, Su Wu said directly: "Senior, why are you—"
"You are determined to fight to the death. As a senior, I should naturally help you. Now I will use this fragment of Yuanshen to help you!" The fingers that were chopped off from the Heart Saint Yuanshen melted as soon as they hit the ground. As a stream of fresh air, it coiled around Xin Sheng's body, trying to merge with him, but he always refused to come out. He gathered the bundle of fresh energy in the palm of his hand, and while talking to Su Wu, he moved the stream of clear energy. The anger turned into a ball of paper.
He then handed the paper ball to Sun Ji and said, "Take this fragment of my soul back to the Gushi Ruins and attach it to the unknown place where it is sealed. Within three days, However, three strands of the nameless guile's breath could be picked up from the place where they were imprisoned. These three strands of breath should be used as the basis of the Sun family. The sects were afraid of the death disaster law of the nameless guile and would never dare to waste it on the Sun family's foundation. When he was empty, he insulted the Sun family.
how do you feel? "
