Chapter 217: The Dead Man Speaks, Picture of the Eight Symbols
Zhou Shi weighed the mass of flesh and blood in his hand, smiled slightly, and jumped off the shoulder of the Buddha statue.
Then, he turned around and swung his hand to open the monument, smashing the three-person-high eyeless Buddha statue into pieces.
The earth and rocks fell, and Jiang Ling'er, who was sucked in by the Buddha statue, fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Budu pressed his hand on his empty chest, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing out. His eyes were full of astonishment, and he couldn't understand where he lost.
What he didn't know was that he had already fallen into Zhou Shi's plan when he used his earth escape technique to sneak into Zhou Shi's room and steal the picture of the lady in red.
The picture of the lady in red came out of nowhere, and it seemed to be related to the ghost bride. Zhou Shi had already been very wary of this treasure, and when he left Fengde Building, he put the golden hook on the lady in red.
On the picture of a lady. In this way, as long as someone takes it away, the hook will fall on that person and their most precious thing can be stolen.
Budu used blood ginseng to change his body once, and the cassock and Zen staff on his body had been lost long ago. The only treasure that followed him was the blood ginseng hidden in his body, so he naturally became the target of gold fishing.
As long as Zhou Shi moves his fingers, this treasure that maintains Budu's life will become the thing in his palm.
"If we don't cross, the outcome will be determined."
Needless to say, it can be seen from the state of never crossing that he will not live long.
"I still have a few questions to ask you. If you don't want to answer, you can only take them to the kid in the underworld and talk to them." Zhou Shi said coldly.
"Woo, cough -" Budu struggled to squeeze out his voice, "Boy, do you don't need me to speak when you are asking questions?"
Zhou Shi raised his eyebrows. Indeed, it was not difficult for him to make the dead speak.
But God knows what is wrong with this demon and whether there will be any problems with his soul. Zhou Shi is only afraid that "calling souls through corpses" will summon some evil spirits, so he hopes to find out the truth of the matter while he is alive.<
/p>
But since Budu is unwilling to speak, he can only take the risk and give it a try.
Zhou Shi took out the fire seal, unscrewed it, and watched Budu slowly collapse to the ground under the illumination of the yin fire, turning into a pile of bones soaked in blood.
Seeing that he was dead, Zhou Shi did not rush forward, but turned around and came to Jiang Ling'er first.
Eyes, ears... Zhou Shi couldn't help but frown, thinking cruelly in his heart, and then broke his neck cleanly.
Three down and five down divide two, four down and five down to one.
If you come here as a casual guest, you will quickly get angry if you have any complaints.
Jiang Ling'er's ghost appeared on his corpse.
After some interrogation, Zhou Shi learned the demons’ plan, their respective titles and methods.
The Blood Poison Master, Old Man Hengjiang, Aunt Mei, the Ten-faced Actor, Ruan Hunxiong, Master Budu...
He compared these monsters one by one, but did not find the monster he encountered in Xu Niangniang's cave.
Are they not in the same group?
After Jiang Ling'er's ghost dissipated, he took a deep breath and turned back to face the most difficult guy to deal with.
When Budu's ghost was successfully summoned and suspended in front of Zhou Shi, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This old guy's methods are too sinister, otherwise I wouldn't have been hiding in the dark until Jiang Ling'er was swallowed by the Buddha statue before I dared to show up. If I rashly stopped him, I might be the one who was sucked into the Buddha statue.<
/p>
"If you don't cross, make your plan practical."
Budu's ghost spoke dully, and what he said was basically the same as Jiang Ling'er's, which was to pry off a link of the dragon-locking formation, let the world's dragon energy leak out, and restore the power of the outer sect.
What is slightly different is the attitude towards his accomplices.
"After the incident is completed, what do you plan to do with the other companions? You probably didn't expect that more than half of them would be killed or injured, right?"
"The people who survived... I plan to turn them all into ghosts and keep them in the nine-bone lantern... as a weapon..."
"Use your 'gods and Buddhas to close their eyes'? What kind of method is this?"
"This is...a taboo among the outer sect...taking the statues worshiped by the world as the incarnation of the 'Way of Heaven' and erasing their eyes as a symbol of temporarily invalidating the 'Way of Heaven'..."
Zhou Shi's eardrums hurt when Bu Du slowly introduced the method of "closing eyes of gods and Buddhas", because this method requires the caster to torture himself with extremely cruel methods to achieve, and the backlash caused by disobeying the way of heaven is also
Very scary.
"In mild cases, the seven orifices will bleed, and the beard and hair will turn white, turning into a decrepit corpse... In severe cases, eight arms will be born, the head will have two faces, the man will be pregnant, and the woman will be pregnant..."
In other words, the caster has a high probability of turning into a monster and dying in extreme pain.
That's why he has to spend so much time cultivating blood ginseng... By transplanting blood ginseng into the body, he can gain immortality by being cut into pieces, but the cost is that the host will become the blood ginseng's nutrients, and his life will also be short-lived. p>
Is this really someone who is desperate to revitalize the outer sect... Zhou Shi became suspicious.
"That picture of the lady in red - it's called 'Dignified Elephant', right? Where did you find it?"
This is the question that Zhou Shi is most concerned about. After all, the false fan in the Iron Abacus is probably one of the Eight Symbols. He is very curious about the connection between An Rudao and the Eight Symbols.
"I cut this off from a witchcraft man many years ago... Only after an expert pointed it out did I know what it was..."
"How much do you know about the Eight Symbols Picture?"
"The Eight Elephants Pictures are the legacy of Yuan Yongsheng in his later years... It is said that the last emperor of the previous dynasty was cruel and liked to collect works of famous artists... He promised Yuan Yongsheng a thousand taels of gold and countless beauties, and asked Yuan Yongsheng to leave eight masterpieces for him.
...But when the masterpiece was completed, the tyrant went against his promise and killed Yuan Yongsheng in order to make these eight masterpieces unprecedented...and Yuan Yongsheng was originally a member of the outer sect, leaving a trap in the painting and letting his own resentment attach to it.
Turned into eight paintings with evil powers..."
A generation of painting masters was also deceived by the golden beauty, and ultimately harmed himself.
Zhou Shi also wanted to ask Lu Yan what method he used to seriously injure Budu, but in the end he suppressed his curiosity. After all, Lu Yan had great supernatural powers, and his clones were watching nearby. Such behavior might offend him.<
/p>
Having finished asking all the questions, Zhou Shi took out Hu Gongzun and Huo Zhezi from the iron abacus, spit out a mouthful of Yin wine, and instantly surrounded Budu's ghost with a burning and ferocious face.
In order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, he had to use the simplest and crudest method to deal with this ghost.
The Yin Fire converged into a ball, rolling wildly like waves, but it did not shrink.
Is Budu's soul so tenacious? Zhou Shi became alert and took two steps back.
A half-yin and half-yang voice sounded from all directions.
The sound echoed in the ruined temple and gradually became clearer——
"There are yin and yang in the world, which are separated and combined; there are six evil spirits in the world, which tend to move toward and separate from each other..."
What!
Zhou Shi was so frightened that he took out the fire fold and tried to withdraw the Yin Fire.
But the Yin Fire refused to obey, burning in the air, and countless ferocious faces rolled on the surface, slowly converging into one face——
Budu’s face.
"...Boy, you're still a little underheated."
Under the light of the fire, Zhou Shi caught a glimpse of Budu's corpse.
The blood covering the surface of the bones seeped into the ground, and the white bones were exposed.
There is a small depression on the skull. If you look closely, it turns out to be a relief the size of a finger!
"Do you think I will leave no backup plan?"
Budu's laughing face appeared on the surface of Yinhuo.
