Chapter Thirteen: Burning and Killing a Boy to Get a Short Blade. The Mountain Man Helps Me Revive My Soul
In front of the stone chamber, Zhong Sheng was in no hurry to enter.
Before he entered the door, there were many illusions in front of him, and the two ghosts were quite capable.
"Monkey, stay away, I'm going to use my ultimate move."
The ape understood instantly, smiled evilly at him, and jumped out of the way.
Zhong Sheng picked up the canes cut off from the ground, folded them up and piled them up around the stone chamber.
As this was not enough, I picked up many dry leaves and dead branches and buried them all the way to the top of the stone chamber.
"Zi!"
The flint and fire sickle collided, causing sparks to fly and fall on the dead leaves, igniting a fire half as tall as a man in the blink of an eye.
"Burn it, burn it!"
Zhong Sheng took a few steps back and watched the flames swarming around the stone chamber, and the fire became more intense.
"The two things I love most in my life are murder and arson."
Zhong Sheng looked at the fierce mountain fire that swept through the stone chamber. The dead vines and trees growing around it became fuel for the combustion, and the fire became more intense.
The fire burned from dusk to midnight, and the mountain night in this area was as bright as day.
Many wild beasts around were startled and looked at the fire in astonishment.
If the time and space of fire sweeps across the entire Zhongnan Mountain, they must escape as soon as possible, otherwise they will surely die.
Fortunately, Zhong Sheng is not really a reckless man. He opened a fire break in advance so that the fire would only gather in the stone chamber and not spread outside.
Crackling!
The outer layer of the stone chamber was burned red by the fierce fire, and the skin began to bulge, showing signs of falling off.
"Monkey, it's not good. Things inside look tricky."
The fire burned so fiercely, but there was still no movement in the stone room.
The monkey's squeaking sound came to my ears, which was very different from usual, and a bit...frightening.
Looking back, I saw the monkey lying on the ground on all fours, with a white boy sitting on its back, its bare feet pressing down on its head.
A small boy seems to have a huge weight, and the monkey is stuck in the mud and cannot move.
When will you escape?
Zhong Sheng held the ancient sword tightly, and a breath of cold air blew from the back of his neck, splitting into two streams, flowing towards his chest and down his back, bringing biting coldness.
Two small hands were placed on the shoulders, as cold as ice, but light and weightless.
Zhong Sheng used his sword as a mirror and saw something floating on the back of his head, which turned out to be a black boy.
Okay, both little guys escaped.
Surprisingly, he stared at the stone chamber throughout the whole process and had no idea how the other party escaped from the fire.
"Did it come out of the ground?"
Zhong Sheng didn't have time to think about it, the black boy pouted and moved closer to the back of his head, the coldness getting stronger.
Is it okay to suck his brains out?
Under the mixture of shock and anger, Zhong Sheng's blood boiled to counteract the severe cold, and the ancient sword stabbed back with a clang.
Bai Tongzi was frightened, raised his little hands pressing on his shoulders, and swung them away lightly in the sword wind.
Zhong Sheng's whole body relaxed and he swung his sword in the direction of the monkey. The black boy brushed his sword and disappeared without a trace before the sword came.
The monkey was freed, but Zhong Sheng grabbed his tail and flicked it, throwing it into a big tree ten feet away, so that it could hide far away.
"I am a judge."
"I am Yang Pun."
"Born from heaven and earth, growing in the mountains, there is neither good nor evil."
Two boys, one black and one white, landed on the ground laughing and walked quickly around Zhong Sheng.
Zhong Sheng thought to himself, if he couldn't deal with these two guys, how could he fly to Chang'an to rescue his second uncle?
The ancient sword buzzed, and with one sword and two moves, it stabbed the black and white boys at the same time.
The black boy exhaled and blew out a breath. The air around him dropped sharply, and the sword was covered with a layer of frost.
The biting coldness passed into the palm of his hand. Zhong Sheng shuddered and almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword.
On the other side, Bai Tongzi jumped forward and hugged the sword.
Zhong Sheng finally understood what the monkey felt just now. Even though the boy was small, he was as heavy as a mountain, dragging the ancient sword and falling continuously.
"Zhizhizhi."
The monkey held up a branch and carefully carried a ball of fire over to help.
Zhong Sheng nodded knowingly, punched his stomach, and the wine poured out.
The flames on the branches, stimulated by the wine, suddenly increased tenfold.
The black boy and the white boy were unable to dodge, and were both caught in the flames.
"Ah!"
Under the fierce fire, the cold air was swept away, and Bai Tongzi's arms were so burned that he loosened his arms and slipped from the sword body.
The black boy jumped around, shaking off the sparks from his body.
No matter what monsters or ghosts you have, there is no one that cannot be solved with a fire. If there are, then ten more.
The ape was so happy that he completely forgot how badly he was burned, and looked like he was gloating about his misfortune.
Under the fierce fire, the white boy and the black boy held hands and sank into the earth.
Sure enough, it is the ability to escape from the earth. They just got out of the stone room and escaped from the fire. This is how they used it.
"Don't even think about it."
Zhong Sheng's arm instantly expanded and he threw out the ancient sword, which fell to the ground like a meteor and hit the black boy.
With a scream, the black boy turned over and fell to the ground. Smoke rose and turned into a black knife as big as a palm.
Without Black Boy's escape, White Boy sank halfway down, stuck on the ground, and danced quite comically.
Zhong Sheng picked up the ancient sword stuck on the ground and walked to Bai Tongzi.
Bai Tongzi burst into tears and kowtowed to him to beg for mercy, but it didn't work.
Whoosh.
With a wave of the ancient sword, the white boy disappeared and was replaced by a white sword, also the size of a palm.
"Black and white swords, Yin judgment? Yang judgment?"
Zhong Sheng picked up two objects. These were left behind by the black and white boys after they died. Could they be their true bodies?
At the same time, the Taoist sitting on the tree in the distance opened his eyebrows and said, "It's done."
He looked at the night sky and sighed leisurely, "You two brothers occupied the stone room and disrupted my practice several times."
"I, a native of Zhongnan Mountain, will definitely repay you for sleeping, so I will use the hands of this killing star to send you on your way."
"After years of practice, you should also taste what it feels like to lose everything in one day."
In front of the stone chamber, the Taoist, Zhong Sheng and the monkey finally gathered together again.
"Burn it clean, boy from the Zhong family, you did a good job."
The Taoist saw two more knives and reminded him, "Yin and Yang are two natural spiritual objects. If you are destined to get them, they will have wonderful uses in the future."
As for the magical effect, he didn't say anything more, and Zhong Sheng didn't ask any more questions.
"Master, we have obtained the stone chamber. Let's take action immediately to save my second uncle."
Zhong Sheng put away his two swords and couldn't wait to urge the Taoist.
The Taoist thought, if you ruin my practice of corpse-discipline, I will deprive you of fifty years of life, and we will be even.
As for rescuing Zhong Kui, it depends on his prophetic words of command, but he must apply the spell carefully.
Although this Zhongnanshan native is a man of Taoism, his mind is not very broad.
Zhong Sheng has no foundation in spiritual practice, so he must pay a huge price for forcing his soul to leave the body.
"The stone chamber is where the spiritual cave is located, which can nourish the physical body. When your soul leaves the body, your physical body is like a living dead, so it must be here."
"The ancient sword is fierce and can resist external evil."
"When your spirit is outside and your body is inside, rats and ants will bite your limbs, and snakes and insects will burrow into your orifices."
Having said this, the Taoist glanced at the ape and said, "This is a different species. It can protect you and drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants."
The ape puffed up his chest and signaled to Zhong Sheng, leaving it to him.
Zhong Sheng nodded, "Master, I can rest assured that you will always do things. By the way, I haven't asked you your old name yet?"
"Uh, people from Zhongnan Mountain."
