Chapter 174
174 Ennea monkey and secret.1
The broken hand with dark red skin lay quietly on the bed, and dark blue blood vessels bulged on the skin.
Xu Qi ‘an felt as if he had just seen an old corpse from a mountain village in the living room. He was scared and went back to his bedroom to sleep. When he opened the door, he found Chu renmei standing by the bed, staring at him with her white eyes.
The fear in his heart exploded with a boom, and every nerve in his body urged him:Hurry up and run, hurry up and run …
At this moment, Xu Qi. an saw the index finger of the broken hand move slightly. His index finger tapped on the bed.
The next moment, the air seemed to become sticky. Xu Qi ‘an felt like an old cow that had fallen into a quagmire. He had a strong body, but he could not move a step.
The five fingers on the broken hand moved. Then, it used its fingers as its feet and climbed down from the bed. It crawled along the ground toward Xu Qi ‘an.
This scene was too horrifying, as if she was witnessing a scene from a horror movie. Xu Qi ‘an could not move her body. She rolled her eyes and watched in despair as it crawled to her feet and climbed up her trousers …
It wanted to take me as a parasite, just like how it took on Heng Hui monk … Why? ‘Why are you targeting me? I’m just an ordinary Gong …’ As Xu Qi ‘an’s frightened thoughts flashed through her mind, the broken hand climbed up to his chest and then pried open Xu Qi’ an’s mouth with his thumb and index finger.
…. Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t resist. His eyes widened, and his expression was one of fear.
Immediately after, his mouth was forced open, and the broken hand violently invaded. The fingers and palm pushed inch by inch into the depths of his throat.
The corner of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth split open, and blood dripped from it. How could a human’s mouth fit a hand? Not to mention the throat, but the broken hand seemed to have the same intention.
Soon, the broken hand entered Xu Qi ‘an’s throat. Xu Qi’ an’s windpipe bulged and opened up bit by bit, leaving clear finger marks.
The process was very fast, because the broken hand did not consider Xu Qi ‘an’s endurance at all. Like an alien, it passed through the mouth and throat roughly and simply.
The moment the broken hand entered his body, Xu Qi ‘an wailed in pain. His consciousness seemed to have exploded into countless pieces. After a long time, he saw a temple. There was no Dharma statue of Buddha in the temple, but a young monk sitting cross-legged on a futon.
Why did I come here … I’m dead? And then he entered the Western Paradise … ‘That’s impossible. I’m a guy who doesn’t worship Buddha. Buddha will only clamp my head with the door and kick me out of the Pure Land of bliss …’
Xu Qi ‘an tried his best to see his face, but the monk’s face seemed to be shrouded in fog, and he could not see it clearly.
Why did I come here … I’m dead? And then he entered the Western Paradise … ‘That’s impossible. I’m a guy who doesn’t worship Buddha. Buddha will only clamp my head with the door and kick me out of the Pure Land of bliss …’ Xu Qi ‘an thought to himself in self-mockery when he heard the gentle voice of the young monk.
“I would like to borrow your body to recuperate my broken arm. I hope you can be flexible.”
…. He’s the demonic creature with the broken hand? Xu Qi ‘an was bewildered and asked tentatively, “”I’m not going to be accommodating?”
The young monk sat cross-legged quietly and ignored him.
…. Who are you? ” Xu Qi ‘an asked in a deep voice. why are you sealed in sang Bo? ”
“This little monk’s Dharma name is Shen Shu.” The young monk paused and said hesitantly, ”
“Why am I in sang Bo …? I can’t remember … Why was I sealed there … Where do I come from?”
“I’m Shen Shu, but why am I in sang Bo? Where do I come from?”
He was calm at first, but gradually, as he asked himself more and more questions, his emotions began to get out of control. His peaceful and serene temperament disappeared, and the entire space trembled. An indescribable and terrifying aura overflowed from the monk’s body.
It was like the aura of hell, which made Xu Qi ‘an’s hair stand on end and his heart beat violently.
This familiar aura … At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an was sure that the young monk was indeed the one with the broken hand.
“This little monk was too obsessed …” The young monk regained his calm and retracted his frightening aura. He said in a gentle tone, ”
“My primordial spirit is incomplete, so I can’t remember the past. I only know my Dharma name, but I can’t remember where I came from or what happened in the past.”
An incomplete primordial spirit? Was it because he only had one broken arm? ‘Well, his body is incomplete, so his primordial spirit is also incomplete. This is very reasonable …’ Monk, you’re a little pitiful …
At this point, the young monk’s tone was filled with helplessness and pain, as if he was trying to know what had happened in the past but was helpless.
An incomplete primordial spirit? Was it because he only had one broken arm? ‘Well, his body is incomplete, so his primordial spirit is also incomplete. This is very reasonable …’ Monk, you’re a little pitiful … Xu Qi ‘an probed, ”
“Master, I might have some information, but I’m not sure if it’ll be of any use to you.”
The young monk’s breath suddenly trembled slightly. In the mist, the pair of eyes seemed to be staring at Xu Qi ‘an.
The formation that sealed you was completed by the imperial family of Dafeng, the Directorate of Celestials, and the Western Buddhist League. Since you are a Buddhist, I’m afraid you are from the Western Region. Xu Qi ‘an said.
As he spoke, he started to make associations.The owner of the broken hand was a monk, and the three forces that sealed him were the royal family of Da Feng, the Buddhist sect of the Western Region, and the Directorate of Celestials … According to the feedback from the Azure Dragon Temple, the Buddhist sect obviously paid more attention to the sealed artifact under the Sang Bo … Wait a minute!
Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered a few details from the Sang Bo case.On the third day after Yongzhen mountain river Temple was destroyed, Wei Yuan told him that Emperor Yuan jing had opened the city’s seal.
On the second day after the Yongzhen mountain river temple was blown up, the old man, the supervisor, pretended to be sick and stood by the side the whole time.
The abbot of the Azure Dragon Temple, coiling tree, confirmed that the broken hand had come into being and immediately headed west.
From these details, it could be inferred that Buddhism was the main leader of the seal at sang Bo. The young monks who were sealed were most likely from the Western Buddhist sects.
No wonder, no wonder Emperor Yuan jing wanted to open the city restriction. No wonder the warden pretended to be sick … It was obvious that the less trouble they had, the better. It was not their own trouble anyway.
Xu Qi ‘an understood the thoughts of Jian Zheng and Emperor Yuan jing, and then he remembered another detail.Wei Yuan had repeatedly emphasized that he should ignore the sealed artifact and only be responsible for investigating the traitors in the Imperial court.
Wei Yuan most likely knew about the severed arm’s identity, or at least knew that it originated from Buddhism.
It was no wonder the higher-ups in the capital were not interested in the sealed artifacts and focused on finding the snitch … Every one of them was worth old silver coins.
Fortunately, I’m smart and quick-witted. Through the details of the case of the small banner officer and Centurion Zhou’s Qi-blocking observation, I traced back to the Azure Dragon Temple and solved the mystery layer by layer.
At this moment, the young monk sighed, “”I have a favor to ask of you, benefactor.”
“Master, I’m only a Qi refining realm warrior.” Xu Qi ‘an wanted to reject him tactfully. Wei Yuan had said that sealed artifacts were at least second-grade or even first-grade.
A little worm like him really didn’t have the confidence to participate in a battle of this level. Moreover, Xu Qi ‘an didn’t forget the original intention of the Golden Lotus Daoist when he established the heaven and earth Association:Kill the second-grade Dao leader of the earth sect.
‘It’s easier than making me the Emperor. If I get involved in the grudges of Buddhism because of you, I might as well usurp the throne myself …’ Xu Qian said.
The young monk ignored him and continued, ” help this poor monk search for the past and retrieve my memories …
“In this process, I will provide you with some help.”
Provide a certain amount of help? Xu Qi ‘an thought of the four golden gongs wrapped in gauze, and his heart moved. If he had a sealed artifact with him, it was equivalent to having an additional trump card.
In this world where imperial power and divine power were Supreme, he could have a better life. At least, he didn’t have to worry about his family being raided and exterminated. Whoever dared to touch a hair of his family would have his brain beaten out.
Furthermore, after Zhou chixiong was captured, he would definitely be promoted and have a raise in salary, and his own power would also increase.
However, there were two things he needed to make clear before he agreed to the monk’s request.
“Master, do you need to devour qi and blood frequently?” Xu Qi ‘an tried to use a peaceful tone.
“As long as it’s in your body, there’s no need for external blood Qi replenishment. Of course, if you want to use my power, you’ll need to nourish it with your blood essence after that. It’s best if you’re a cultivator.”
In other words, you just have to stay in my body and nothing will happen. But if I want you to work, I have to feed you … Xu Qi ‘an nodded. This equivalent exchange was in line with his philosophy.
“Why did you choose me?” Xu Qi ‘an said.
“Someone brought me to you.” “Because we are the same kind of people,” the young monk said.
Xu Qi ‘an quickly asked,”what do you mean by” the same kind of people?”master, please give me some guidance.”
“My instinct told me so, but I can’t remember more,” the young monk said.
I can’t remember … “Who brought you here, senior?” Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched.
A Fox with a screen-like fox tail … Nine-Tailed celestial Fox? Well, according to the confession of the gray fox in the Imperial Academy, the people who participated in the Sang Bo case were the remnants of the thousand demon Kingdom … And the fallen Empress of the thousand Fey Kingdom was the Nine-Tailed Fox …
The young monk conjured an image. In the image, a figure wearing black clothes and a hood solemnly opened a silk bag and put the broken hand in it.
Judging from the figure, a full chest and a round butt, it was obviously a woman.
There was a white animal embroidered on the silk bag. It was shaped like a fox, agile and beautiful, with a white tail spread out behind it like a screen.
A Fox with a screen-like fox tail … Nine-Tailed celestial Fox? Well, according to the confession of the gray fox in the Imperial Academy, the people who participated in the Sang Bo case were the remnants of the thousand demon Kingdom … And the fallen Empress of the thousand Fey Kingdom was the Nine-Tailed Fox … Hiss, the people of the thousand demon Kingdom brought the broken hand to me.
Why?
‘They noticed me …’ Xu Qi ‘an was deeply worried.
…..
Xu Qi ‘an opened his eyes and found himself lying on the cold ground. The faint moonlight provided a glimmer of light in the quiet room.
He came to the table, lit the oil lamp, and walked to the bronze mirror with the lamp. His masculine face was reflected in the mirror, and there was dried blood at the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away gently and found no wound.
The wound caused by the unreasonable Ennea monkey of monk Shenshu had disappeared.
The clock showed that the time was fifteen minutes past Yin, which was 9:15 in the evening.
Xu Qi ‘an sat by the bronze mirror, thinking about what he should do next.
The immediate problem was, how should he deal with the broken hand? should he report this to Lord Wei?
“It’s true that Wei Yuan appreciates me, but I’m not his son. There’s a limit to how much he appreciates me. And this matter involved sang Bo’s sealed artifact …
“If he can help me take out my broken hand, then it won’t be a problem. If he can’t, will he protect me, or will he seal me in sang Bo with him?
“The supervisor can definitely take out my broken hand for me, right? ‘He’s a first-grade Warlock, but the problem is, I’m not familiar with him …’ Xu Qi ‘an, Oh Xu Qi’ an, you’ve fallen again. You’re addicted to her warm eyes and can’t escape. Have you forgotten that Yan Caiwei is waiting for you to finish her strategy?
and I’m just a Gong in the Qi refining stage. It’s impossible for me to survive for 500 years without eating or drinking.
“The supervisor can definitely take out my broken hand for me, right? ‘He’s a first-grade Warlock, but the problem is, I’m not familiar with him …’ Xu Qi ‘an, Oh Xu Qi’ an, you’ve fallen again. You’re addicted to her warm eyes and can’t escape. Have you forgotten that Yan Caiwei is waiting for you to finish her strategy? If he had become the son-in-law of the Directorate of Celestials earlier, the director would have been one of his own.
“The old man, Jian Zheng, knows about my Strange Luck. I can’t trust him completely, because he must be planning something in the dark …”
In addition, there was another distant problem:
The thousand Fey Kingdom had gone through so much trouble to release the sealed artifact. It was impossible for them to do this for him.
There must be a purpose for secretly bringing the broken hand to him. It was obvious even if he used his toes to think. And was this goal good or bad for him?
Monk Shen Shu said that I can nourish his arm and primordial spirit … Is this the reason why the thousand demon Kingdom brought it to me?
Then, would they come back to take back the broken hand one day? At that time, no one can say for sure whether I’ll end up Dead or Alive.
At this moment, he heard monk Shen Shu’s gentle voice in his mind, ”
“Keep it a secret!”
…. Xu Qi ‘an’s face froze.
