Chapter 47 Help
Chapter 47 Help
Li Wuxiang took a look at it, opened it, and found a folded talisman inside... No, it looked more like a seal. It was half the size of a palm, and the words "Treasure of the Five Mountains" were written on it.
"I see that every household in Jinshui worships the Kitchen God, who is also a god, but a minor one. This one I gave you is a seal used by Taoists of the True Form Dao who worship the Five Mountains True Form Great Emperor. The Five Mountains Great Emperor is a great god, you just need to carry this seal and go to help Zhao Qi to summon the god. At the last moment, the Kitchen God was about to come down, but he found that you were carrying this seal in your arms. When he saw that there was such a great god, he didn't come!"
"You also practice swords and knives, right? Just think about it, if you use your true strength to chop out with your sword, but it hits nothing and you can't stop the force of the sword, how uncomfortable would that be? The same is true for that demon. If you can't summon the spirit, the power of your will will backfire, and in the worst case, you will become a cripple, or at least you will have stagnation of energy and vomiting blood! I'll take advantage of this moment when he can't use his magic power and make a move, hey! I'll catch him red-handed!"
"Then... Mr. Zeng, can't you also cast a spell, offer sacrifices to the gods, or something like that, like the gods in the legend do, and ask him to do the sacrifice? I can help him, and I can help you, too. You can teach me how to perform the sacrifice."
"Alas, I've already said that inviting gods is not a good thing. Besides, Zhao Qi's method of offering sacrifices to gods is unique to Ranshan, and not everyone can do it!"
Li Wuxiang frowned and stared at the seal talisman for a while, "Okay, but...if the Kitchen God really wants to come down and finds out that I'm carrying the seal of the great god, he gets angry, what should I do then?"
"Eh! How could that be?" Zeng Jianqiu slapped his thigh. "The Kitchen God is a minor god, and the Five Mountains Emperor is a major god. They are all gods and have a good relationship. How could they be angry?"
I believe you!
Li Wuxiang remembered what Zhao Qi said, that the gods like the Kitchen God were originally under Donghuang Taiyi, and after the seven great gods defeated Donghuang Taiyi, the gods under his seat were also denounced as heretics by the remaining six sects. If he really took this treasure talisman with him, it would never be as easy as he said.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It is always right to be cautious. Zeng Jianqiu had spoken with great righteousness before, but now he seemed to be unscrupulous. He could not be said to be a bad person, but he might not be a good partner.
But you can ask him something else.
So Li Wuxiang shook his head and said, "Master Zeng..., my family was hit by a flood and I am the only one left. I am not afraid of anything else, but if something happens to me, I will be ashamed of my ancestors——"
Zeng Jianqiu frowned suddenly. Last night, that person said that the spell summoned ghosts, which showed that what Zhao Qi wanted to do was almost accomplished - it was because the incense and wish power in the spell was overflowing that it attracted the ghosts that happened to be lingering nearby.
He really didn't have time to waste. He had thought that Li Jiye was kind-hearted and easy to please, but now it seems that he is smarter and more cautious than he thought. He had to make decisions in a hurry, so he couldn't be blamed.
"If you don't help me, not only will you be ashamed of the people of Jinshui Town, but you will also be ashamed of another person." Zeng Jianqiu sneered and pointed to the courtyard, "Boy, go and see what's placed under the east wall of the courtyard."
Li Wuxiang quickly glanced behind the door, then looked at Zeng Jianqiu, slowly retreated to the door of the neighboring courtyard and turned to look -
At the foot of the east wall, there lay a long object that was almost covered with mud. The water flowing out of it soaked an area of the ground. It was obvious that it had been there for some time.
He knew what was wrapped in it - two double-pronged hunting forks, two bows, two arrow pots with a total of twenty-three arrows, two swords, a pair of cast iron animal clamps... These were the things he wrapped and threw into the river after he wiped out the entire Wang family!
It should be sunk deep into the mud!
At this moment, he understood why Zeng Jianqiu's feet were covered in mud. Li Wuxiang relaxed his shoulders, straightened his waist, pulled at his shirt and smiled: "I don't know what that is."
"Ha..." Zeng Jianqiu laughed in a drawn-out voice, stood up with the bowl in hand and walked to the pot of bean powder that Li Wuxiang had fried, then filled himself with half a bowl and rinsed it with water. "The people in the town said that there used to be a hunter family in your town, but they suddenly ran away at night a few days ago. They said that it was because the butcher family was supposed to pay the town owner with fresh tiger bones."
"I thought about it and felt that it was a coincidence, but I couldn't tell what it was. Then I remembered that there was a beautiful girl next door to the hunter's house... Was it this girl who did it? But how could this girl destroy the bodies of three strong men? Oh, you came a few days later."
"Ordinary people wouldn't think too much about it, but do you know how many bizarre murders of love and passion I've seen? I spent half the night searching in the Jinshui River and near your two homes, and I finally found these things. I didn't expect you to be so decisive in killing people, to be able to kill an entire family for the sake of your beloved. When did you two know each other? Before Lijia Bay was washed away by the flood?"
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, then walked towards him. Zeng Jianqiu remained expressionless, just looking at him. But Li Wuxiang walked past him to the kitchen door, slowly put the door back on, and turned to look at Zeng Jianqiu: "Are you threatening me?"
Zeng Jianqiu nodded, "Okay, close the door and speak frankly. It's not a threat, it's coercion. If you don't help me, countless others will suffer. For this great... forget it, I'm embarrassed to talk about justice. For this matter, extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times! Are you going to help me get rid of the harm, or do you want me to report this to your town master, Zhao Qi?"
Li Wuxiang suddenly smiled: "You are a good person. Telling this will only hurt an innocent girl, you won't do that."
Zeng Jianqiu also smiled: "You are also a good person. If you don't help me, it will harm this innocent girl, and you won't do that. Young man, do you want to compete with me to see who has a harder heart?"
The idea he mentioned to deal with Zhao Qi was the same as what he had originally thought, or even better - wait until the sacrifice is about to be completed. In this way, he might be able to obtain the complete sacrificial rituals needed by the external evil.
There was only one problem - he had to take the lead in this matter and not leave any room for Zeng Jianqiu to interfere with him.
Li Wuxiang sighed: "Master Zeng, Zhao Qi said that he is at the Qi Refining stage, what about you?"
"Have you figured it out? Haha, don't worry about that. I'm also a Qi Refiner." Zeng Jianqiu drank the porridge in one gulp. "Most of the ordinary people you see walking around in the martial arts world are Qi Refiners. Don't frown. You have also learned martial arts. You know that when two ordinary people, one with a blade in hand and the other with a crossbow, compete, their methods are very different."
"Although we are all practicing Qi, each school has different abilities, that is, they use different weapons. For example, the Ranshan School is good at drawing talismans to summon gods, while I am good at using swords to destroy evil! As long as I find an opportunity, don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"
Li Wuxiang nodded and hesitantly approached Zeng Jianqiu: "Okay, I'll do you a favor, then you have to do me a favor."
