There were samurai patrolling both inside and outside the Inoue family's manor.
In the manor, in front of the open space in the middle hall, many warriors lined up and gathered here.
The number of samurai gathered in the open space in front of the central hall now far exceeds the number of samurai in the Inoue family in the past few days.
In the name of "worshiping the head of the family",
Inoue Haruko and her family elder "Inoue Canteru" gathered all the manor owners who were scattered throughout the country, occupied a large number of fields in the country, and swore allegiance to the Inoue family.
A large-scale purge was carried out against these manor owners.
After the great cleansing,
Many manor owners were removed from their names,
There were also samurai who took advantage of the situation and were appointed by the Inoue family as the new owners of the manor.
The old forces who showed their "rebellious hearts" were wiped out. The Inoue family took the shortest time to control the situation in the Boqi Kingdom and incorporated the samurai who were loyal to the old forces into the Inoue family.
During this great purge,
The shadow of the family elder "Takeru Inoue" is always looming.
invisibly,
He has used cruel methods and overwhelming power to recapture the rebellious manor one after another. In one operation after another,
Gradually gain the loyalty and respect of all warriors.
at this time,
In the central hall where all the retainers and warriors were paying attention,
The memorial altar of the former head of the family, Toshio Inoue, has not yet been removed.
Before the altar,
A ceremony is going on.
The only reputable old man left in the Inoue family cautiously advanced the various rituals.
Miss Haruko burned incense and prayed in front of her father’s altar.
burning sacrifices,
Display a richly decorated sword in front of the altar.
The old man walked forward tremblingly, holding a piece of silk, and recited the long sacrificial inscription on the silk in a desolate and melodious tone.
The sacrificial text coincides with the melody, but it is also catchy when recited, and there is a sense of Zen contained in it.
The meaning of the memorial text is to inform "Toshio Inoue" under Jiuquan that now the Inoue family has a new head, and the new head will uphold his ambition and carry forward the Inoue family.
In order to better fulfill the expectations of our parents,
Now, the new head of the family, "Haruko Inoue", will officially establish a patriarch for the family.
Today is an auspicious day for "paying respects to the elders", and I hope "Toshio Inoue" will agree to this matter.
After the old man recited the sacrificial inscription,
Just put the silk into the brazier,
Let the raging fire burn the silk to ashes.
After the ash has completely cooled,
He found a brocade bag, put all the ashes in it, and enshrined it in front of the spiritual altar.
Until this time, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "The ancestors agreed with Miss Haruko to appoint Zhu Zhaojun as the patriarch of our family!
Miss Haruko, please offer the "Heirloom Sword" to "Tsukuzhao-kun"!"
The old man's voice fell,
Silently, Haruko, dressed in plain clothes, bowed and saluted her father's altar.
Then he took off the ornate sword enshrined in front of the altar,
She stood up and moved her steps slightly,
The little feet under the skirt only take a short distance with each step.
Xiao Xiao walked closer to Su Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, facing the warrior outside the central hall.
Miss Haruko's eyelashes fluttered, and a warm smile appeared on her sweet and delicate face. She held the sword that could be regarded as a "ceremony" in one hand, carefully lifted the hem of her skirt with the other hand, and knelt down in front of Su Wu.
Perform the "Tuxia seat" ceremony!
The warriors outside the hall howled,
The exciting sounds echoed inside and outside the manor!
"My dear! My dear!"
"Old Zhuzhao!"
"Miss Haruko!"
Amidst the cheers of the warriors outside the hall, Haruko raised the sword above her head and asked Su Wu to take it.
She almost pressed her face against the floor, tears quietly leaking out of the corners of her eyes.
Su Wu never expected that Qingzi would arrange such a ceremony.
He never thought about showing off his power in front of a girl who had lost her parents and family. All he did was to bring the Boqi Kingdom under control as soon as possible, and then began to dig the "Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine"!
But now before the invisible,
His own behavior seems to have exerted pressure on Haruko, a girl who lost her family.
He frowned deeply,
He reached out and grabbed the tachi, and held Miss Haruko's arm with the other hand, and then stood up from the futon.
Supported by the power bursting from his hands,
Haruko also stood up involuntarily.
The cheers outside the door became louder.
Haruko, with her head hanging down and tears leaking from the corners of her eyes, leaned her head on Su Wu's chest. Her shallow, thin voice passed through the cheers of the crowd and reached Su Wu's ears: "Thank you,
Abu."
…
In a quiet room.
The sunlight shines in through the window, and little bits of light fall on Su Wu's shoulders.
Su Wu sat cross-legged on the futon, with a short eucalyptus strip in front of her.
Behind the eucalyptus is Haruko, who is sitting upright and kneeling.
Haruko lowered her eyebrows, took out three things from the big box behind her, and placed them on the table.
That is, "The Dragon of Baixiang Ink Ritual - Seal", "Infant Stone - The Secret Key to the Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine", and "The Chain Suspected to be Presented by the Master of Authenticating the Truth".
On the left and right sides of the eucalyptus,
There are also two tachi swords placed there.
They are all ornately decorated "ceremony knives".
One knife is held by the family elder Su Wu, and the other knife is owned by the family leader Qingzi.
Qingzi put a piece of silk cloth on the chain decorated with many talismans and said to Su Wu: "This silk cloth has the usage of this chain written on it. It was given to me by Master Jianzhen who came east from the Tang Dynasty.
Uncle Xiong's stuff.
Uncle Xiong has gone away,
Now I return it to its original owner."
After finishing speaking, she reminded Su Wu in a low voice: "The silk cloth says that this chain will cause harm to those who have the power of ghosts and gods. Abu, you must be careful when touching this thing."
"good."
Su Wu nodded.
He reached for the folded piece of silk on the chain,
open it,
That’s when I saw the content on it.
"Killing is to protect life; killing karma is not killing people."
"Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?
Now I know the true meaning of Ksitigarbha,
May I use my body to conquer hell forever."
"Today, I got a pair of "Tie Binding Rope" and gave it to little friend Fei Xiong.
Children are walking on Dongliu Island,
You can use this chain to bind Li Gui to protect yourself.
The chain is forged with "Killing Stone",
The seventy-seven and forty-nine handprints of the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" meditated by the poor monk are used as command mantras, and they are engraved on the talisman. People who usually control the magic must remember not to come into contact with this thing, otherwise they will be bound by it.
.
My little friend has a "strength armor" to protect him.
As long as we can suppress the force of the evil forces, using this chain is not a problem."
…
Most of what is written on the silk are some of the "Master Jianzhen's" insights into spiritual practice.
I don’t know how long ago,
This monk, who traveled east to Japan and was named the "Great Monk", embraced the "Killing Stone" during his disciplinary practice and used himself to resist the endless evil thoughts emitted by the Killing Stone.
Finally, I had an epiphany,
I saw the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva",
The light broke through the dust prison,
From then on, he began to further implement and realize his great ambition - "Eternal Suppression of Hell"!
This "trap" is the product of his practice.
According to its description,
The sharp awls on the two sections of the chain can penetrate Li Jui and fix Li Jui's true form.
Then he wrapped Li Gui with chains,
It can temporarily suppress the evil spirits.
Su Wu saw some of the handwritings written by Master Jianzhen on the silk cloth, and couldn't help but be speechless. In "Axiong's" view, this Master Jianzhen was just a "mortal body" and had never carved any ink patterns on himself.
Or use the power of "Irregular Armor".
But such a mortal,
But he held a stone that was definitely not of low quality, and might even be the "Killing Mother Stone", and used himself to resist the evil thoughts and murderous intentions and terrifying aura emanating from this stone, and finally had an epiphany in such a harsh environment.
——It can be seen that even though Jianzhen is an ordinary person, his character and spirit are definitely not what ordinary people can have.
I just don’t know,
Is this master still alive today?
He does not have a "new life", and the probability of surviving to this day is very small.
Judging from the current situation of Dongliu Island,
His grand vision of "eternally suppressing hell",
It probably hasn't been implemented yet.
Su Wu folded the silk cloth and put it in his arms.
He then reached out for the "trap" on the eucalyptus - before his fingers touched the chain, the chain stood up like a snake, and the sharp cone at the top pierced Su Wu's palm.
!
At this moment,
Binding Guisuo sensed the fierce aura contained in Su Wu himself!
"Abu!"
Seeing this, Haruko quickly called out a reminder.
Fortunately, Su Wu reacted on his own without any need for her to remind him.
He followed the certain touch that the "Tianpeng-weilin seal" brought to him. Before the chain pierced him, the five fingers of his palm moved together to form a handprint - once the handprint was completed, the power of Canopy's killing power would automatically disappear.
Su Wu appeared all over,
The sharp cone at the top of the chain that stabbed Su Wu,
At this moment, he suddenly "hangs his head",
The chain coiled around Su Wu's palm like a snake.
around the five fingers,
It turned into shallow lines and gathered on the five fingers of Su Wu's left hand.
As Su Wu retracted his palm,
The winding lines on the palm gradually became dull and disappeared without a trace!
"Canopy-Palm Torture Seal" has absorbed this instrument of torture!
The ability of the chains to bind Li Gui has not disappeared because of this.
As long as Su Wu needs it, it can appear in Su Wu's hands at any time!
"The chain disappeared..." Qingzi didn't know the inside story and looked at Su Wu nervously.
Until Su Wu shook his head with a smile and said to her: "I put the chain away and it didn't really disappear. Miss Haruko doesn't have to worry."
Hearing his words, Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief.
She pointed to the second thing on the strip - "The Secret of the Dragon of Baixiang's Ink Ink - Seal", and said to Su Wu: "This is a more powerful ink ink diagram than the ink ink diagram of the Sword Forging Institute,...?
?m
Abu, take it if you need it,
There is also a bottle of blood of ghosts and gods inside,
In conjunction with the veins on the body of the "Dashang Infant Stone", the dragon of Baixiang is engraved on it, which can maximize the fit between itself and the ink drawing.
Unleash the power of ink drawings!"
After speaking,
She just sat there silently, looking at the sealing ritual, waiting for Su Wu to take it away.
"The Dragon of Hundred Thoughts?"
Su Wu picked up the long iron box of the killing stone.
Opening the cover revealed one of the animal skin scrolls.
At the end of this scroll,
There is a small iron bottle as big as a baby's fist.
There is a cloth strip on the bottle,
It says: The blood of ghosts and gods - taken from the "Seventh Hole of the Nine Heart Stone" in the Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine.
Nine Heart Stone?
A killing stone made up of nine heart stones?
Su Wu thought again in his mind,
Unscrew the iron kettle,
A faint rhyme floated out from it.
This ray of charisma indeed comes from Li Jui,
But the charm is all in a "sleeping" state,
It can induce the power of Li Wei,
But it’s harmless to people!
The more people come into contact with many strange and strange charms, the more they will feel "dying", become weak, and even fall into fainting. This kind of strange charm is simply a kind of poison!
but,
The strange rhyme floating out of the little iron pot at this moment,
Because of its characteristic of "sleeping", it loses its lethality to living creatures.
