A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1058: Take the left foot first. Is this disrespectful to me? (Please subscribe!)

"Go on!"

Hua Shier thought this story was quite interesting. The foreigners actually learned to use their skills to defeat the foreigners. Oh, that's the opposite. They learned from me to defeat me. How fucking weird!
At this point, the life and death of these foreigners depended on Hua Shier's decision. Thomson also knew this situation and did not dare to hide it, so he continued:
"Those churches were built at special geographical locations called 'Sanshawei' all over China."

"According to the metaphysical atlas, if these positions are connected, they can reverse yin and yang, reverse the Tiangang, break the power of the Nine Dings and the Nine Provinces, and disperse the luck of Shenzhou. These luck can flow to the West through the Vatican method, allowing all Western countries to benefit."

Thomson spoke in English, but this is roughly what it means when translated.

Hua Twelve raised his eyebrows: "Nine Cauldrons and Nine Provinces, do you know what that means?"

Thomson had only a vague understanding of this: "I only heard from a cardinal that it was an ancient Chinese saint named Dayu who used a mysterious method to cast nine bronze tripods thousands of years ago, gathering the world's fortune on the land of China called Kyushu, and forming a magic array called 'the sea embraces all rivers' on the land of Kyushu."

He was afraid that Hua Twelve might not understand him when he said this, so he explained: "It's probably similar to our Western magic circle. Of course, this is my own understanding."

"As long as this 'sea embraces all rivers' exists, the land of Kyushu will continuously absorb the world's luck, and Chinese civilization will not be cut off. Even if it is invaded by foreign races, the final outcome will definitely be that the foreign races will be assimilated by Chinese civilization and become one with it."

Hua Twelve nodded when he heard this, thinking back that Chinese civilization was indeed like this. The Five Barbarians' Invasion, the Mongols and the Qing Dynasty, all the foreign races that occupied the Central Plains, those that stayed in the end all merged with Chinese civilization and became part of the Chinese nation.

Hua Twelve sneered and said, "I didn't expect that you foreign devils have such scheming methods. You can actually use the wisdom of our ancestors to deal with us."

Thomson saw that he looked unhappy and was afraid that he might get angry, so he quickly explained:
"That's not the case. According to the records in the metaphysical atlas, the magic circle that embraces all rivers was destroyed by the owner of the atlas in the 15th century, which was the early Ming Dynasty of your Chinese Dynasty. So it can only be regarded as an incomplete magic circle. This is how our royal astrologers and the Vatican have the opportunity to destroy this magic circle."

He was afraid that Hua Twelve would not believe him, so he recalled the name of the author of the metaphysics atlas and said thoughtfully:

"The owner of that atlas seems to be called Bo Wenliu. In the atlas, he said that his method of destroying the Hai Na Bai Chuan magic array is called Zhan Long."

"Bowenliu? Dragon Slayer?"

Hua Twelve suddenly reacted: "Liu Bowen, cut the dragon vein!"

He went over the whole thing in his mind and finally it all fit together.

Whether in folk legends, Taoist metaphysical texts, or some literary works, the incident of Liu Bowen cutting the dragon vein has been mentioned. Hua Shier claims to be a Taoist, so naturally he has heard of it.

It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang first established the Ming Dynasty, although the Mongol Yuan court had already perished, there were still many remnant forces active in various places. For example, Emperor Shun of Yuan established the Yuan Shangdu Road Executive Office in Yunnan, the Northern Yuan continued to resist the Ming army in Mobei, the Red Turban Army revolted in various places, and foreign enemies such as Fuso and Annan were eyeing the country covetously.

In short, the country is unstable.

Liu Bowen was worried that these forces would use dragon veins to enhance their luck and strength and endanger the security and stability of the Ming Dynasty, so he toured the world's famous mountains and rivers. Wherever there were mountains with dragon veins and places where dragon energy gathered, he ordered local officials to mobilize the people, dig in the mountains, bury the gold and cut off the energy in order to completely cut off the dragon veins.

There is a line in the "Song of the Baked Cake":
"Ninety-nine dragon veins were cut off, leaving only one in Anhui."

This sentence means that Liu Bowen cut off ninety-nine dragon veins in the Central Plains, leaving only one dragon vein in Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown intact.

In "Ditiansui" written by Li Ziqi, a Feng Shui master in the Ming Dynasty, the locations and names of 108 dragon veins in China are listed. It also said that Liu Bowen cut off these dragon veins during his tour around the world.

Anyway, no matter which record is correct, it now seems that Liu Bowen did do such a thing.

Grass is a plant!
Hua Twelve felt like cursing. No wonder China stood at the top of the world for the first four thousand years out of the five thousand years, and only started to decline after the Qing Dynasty. It turned out that there was such a factor.

Liu Bowen was also a master of Xuanmen, but he actually destroyed the foundation of Jiuzhou just for the stability of the Zhu family for hundreds of years.

Whether the rise of the Northeast Dragon and the rise of the Qing Dynasty have anything to do with the cutting off of the dragon veins in the Central Plains is not the point, but the fortune of China was weakened, and King Yu's long-standing dominance over the nine provinces was destroyed. This can be confirmed from the mouth of this foreign devil, and this is the fault of Liu Bowen, the master of Xuanmen.

The conversation between Hua Shier and Thompson was entirely in English. Van Helsing and the old priest were stunned. They had never expected that the Vatican would play such an ignominious role in this.

Then the purpose of their trip to China was undoubtedly embellished and not glorious, and they had become accomplices in the conspiracy.

Bao Longxing and the others did not understand English. Seeing Hua Twelve and the foreigner talking and answering each other, their faces became worse and worse. The former asked:
"Second brother, you guys have been talking for a long time, and you look so ugly. Is it because this foreigner is still not convinced? Then continue to torture him. I haven't seen enough of this wooden donkey yet!"

Thompson could understand simple Chinese, and he quickly pleaded with Hua Twelve: "No, you promised me, don't do this."

Hua Shier ignored this guy and simply explained the matter to everyone. All his people were filled with indignation.

Bao Longxing cursed: "That Liu Bowen is too much. And these foreign devils are mean and shameless. What's the difference between their behavior and that of the leopard-headed prostitute who refused to pay!"

Lei Bao immediately retorted with a wave of his hand: "Don't wrongly accuse me. Logically, how can I be considered a ladle if I don't give you money?"

Not only did these words make their own people burn on the outside and tender on the inside, but even the foreigners who could understand Chinese temporarily forgot the fear they had just felt when they were dominated by the wooden donkey. They stared at the Leopard Head with wide eyes as if they saw a god.

I have seen shameless people, but this is the first time I have seen someone so shameless and speak so confidently.

Leopard Head: You’ll see it today!
Hua Twelve went over and kicked Leopard Head in anger: "I was originally very angry about this matter, but now that you've said it, should I be angry or laugh?"

Leopard Head was in iron cloth, with knife marks and gun piercings all over his body, making him invulnerable to swords and guns. However, he screamed in pain after being kicked by Hua Shier. Others thought he was pretending, but he was the only one who knew that he was really in pain, so he quickly apologized with a smile and begged for mercy, promising to pay him when they went out to have fun next time.

Hua Twelve turned around and continued to ask Thompson:
"Tell me what's going on with the pentagram on the church? And the demon that was summoned, and the recent incidents with the vampires and werewolves!"

Thomson quickly replied: "The cardinals of the Vatican said that the Three Evils is the place closest to hell. I think the pentagram formation and the summoned demons should be related to the destruction of the Nine Provinces and the Nine Cauldrons and the rebellion against the Heavenly Gang, but I am not sure about the details!"

"As for the vampire in the church, he should be a member of the Dark Knights who is responsible for guarding the Pentagram Formation."

As soon as he said this, Van Helsing beside him asked loudly: "What is the Dark Knights? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The old priest also looked surprised.

Thompson glanced at the two of them:
"You don't think the Church is so bright and great, do you? Behind the light there is also darkness. You, the Knights Templar, represent light, and the Dark Knights represent darkness. The members of the Dark Knights are all creatures of the dark world conquered by the Church, such as werewolves, vampires, and black witches. These people do some shameful things for the Church, just like the pentagram formation in Jiuquan Town!"

Van Helsing wanted to ask something, but Hua Twelve waved his hand and punched Leopard Head: "Shut up! Don't speak unless the adults tell you to!"

Hua Twelve looked at Thompson and said, "According to what you mean, all the churches built on the Three Evils positions in the Far East have formations and are guarded by members of the Dark Knights?"

Thomson nodded and said, "According to the information I have, it is indeed true!" According to Thomson, he is a nobleman and has close ties with the Holy See. He is also a senior executive of the East India Company in the Far East. He has cooperated with the Holy See on many occasions, so naturally he knows more.

In order to save his life, he also told Hua Twelve his own guess. According to Thomson's guess, the pentagram arrays of the three evil positions in various parts of the Far East will be opened in unison or one by one at a specific time to complete a magic array with unknown function. At that time, it will bring about great changes to the Far East, and the West will also absorb the Far East's national fortune and get better and better.

Hua Twelve's eyes were filled with cold stars. It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now that he knew and it allowed the foreigners to succeed, he should just twist his head off and kick it like a ball, because there was no use keeping it.

He was planning to turn around and take action against the Western world and the Vatican. Hua Twelve made a decision in his heart, so he put the matter aside and asked:
"What about the werewolves and vampires near Wumeng?"

Speaking of this, Thomson hesitated a little, but under the sharp gaze of Hua Twelve and the intimidation of the wooden donkey beside him, he told the truth with some sweat on his forehead.

In fact, the old priest was sent to Jiuquan Town because there were problems with the members of the Dark Knights there.

The old priest heard what Thompson said and quickly denied it: "No, no, no, I don't know anything about the Dark Knights!"

Thomson glanced at him and said, "You are a Chinese priest, just a tool at the lowest level among the priests. How can a tool know such secret things?"

"Forehead"

The old priest had nothing to say, but shook his head vigorously. If he believed what Thomson said, then what was the point of his half-life faith? The sunk cost was too high, so now he just hoped that what the other party said was a lie.

Thompson continued, in the team led by the old priest, there was an inconspicuous priest who was the core figure of that group. He was hiding under the old priest, responsible for investigating and solving the problems of the church and the pentagram array as much as possible.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

When he arrived, he found out that the problem occurred because the vampire priest of the Dark Knights had violated the rules and drank a large amount of human blood, thus falling into a vampire sleep.

The priest secretly resurrected the vampire, but he didn't expect that the other party might be sleepy. After waking up, he started killing and sucking blood crazily, which exposed his target and caused the pentagram formation to be activated by mistake, summoning the devil from hell.

After Hua Shier had settled everything, the hidden priest followed the old priest back to Guangzhou and reported everything to the East India Company and the Holy See, and told them how powerful Hua Shier was.

Through intelligence from the Thirteen Hongs, the East India Company confirmed that Hua Twelve was the fake imperial envoy from Wumeng.

Therefore, the East India Company colluded with the Vatican and sent members of the Dark Knights to Wumeng to resolve the hidden danger of Hua Twelve.

That’s right, the Western zombies and giant wolves that hurt people in Wumeng were vampires and werewolves sent by the Vatican.

The Holy See knew that Hua Twelve was a powerful man who could kill the demons from hell, so this time they sent the Marquis among vampires and the best among werewolves.

After the two dark creatures arrived in Wumeng, they found that Hua Twelve had disappeared. They stayed at the home of Hu Youfu, who had business dealings with the Thirteenth Hong, and came out at night, hiding during the day and foraging at night.

He planned to wait in Wumeng for Hua Twelve to come back.

Hua Shier had been gone for nearly two months. After consultation with the East India Company and the Holy See, they sent out another team, one to see the situation here, and the other to go to Jiuquan Town and rebuild the destroyed magic circle.

Just after Hua Shier returned to Wumeng, the Marquis vampire and the werewolf were about to take action that night. However, the werewolf's beast sense made him feel that they would die if they met their target.

The two dark creatures immediately became scared. It happened that yesterday, Thompson and his team arrived near Wumeng and used special means to summon vampires and werewolves to join them.

After the two sides met, they discussed and came up with a new plan, which was to find a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Vampires and werewolves committed crimes in the villages near Wumeng to lure Hua Twelve out. Thompson and his men took the opportunity to attack the county government office and kidnap Hua Twelve's woman.

It would be better if Hua Twelve could be eliminated by then. If not, there are still hostages for negotiation, which can at least prevent the other party from interfering with their actions.

The attack on Liujia Village and Zhangjiazhai last night was a test to prove that Hua Shier and the troops in Wumeng City would be divided to deal with the situation.

If Hua Twelve had not discovered them in time, the vampire marquis and the werewolf would have attacked the other two villages and towns in the second half of the night. When Hua Twelve sent troops to deal with them during the day, these hot-blooded foreign devils would have taken the opportunity to attack the county government.
Hua Twelve curled his lips after hearing this. He didn't expect that the foreigners would play the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. However, this was underestimating him. If he left Wumeng, how could he not leave some tricks behind? As long as he had one of his clones, let alone the Vampire Marquis and a Werewolf Warrior, even if he let Dracula and the Wolf King come and try, he would see if he could beat them to death.

He sat back in the hall, stretched out his hand, and the gavel that he had thrown out as a hidden weapon returned to his hand, and slammed the table:
"You foreigners have committed many evil deeds, plotting against the foundation of China, colluding with vampires and werewolves to kill innocent people, and even plotting to murder me. It would not be excessive to torture you to death, but I am a man of my words. I will spare you this time, so let them go now."

The last two sentences are directed to Leopard Head and other people on his side.

Although most of the foreigners didn't understand what he said, they understood the last two words "release them" and were overjoyed.

Bao Longxing and his people didn't understand: "Second brother, we can't let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

Leopard Head also said: "Yes, sir, if you say one word, I will chop them all down!"

Hua Twelve glared and said, "I keep my word, let him go!"

Seeing him glaring, the people below dared not persuade him anymore and released all the foreigners. Van Helsing, Carl and the old priest all looked ashamed:
"Lord Hua, we are not aware of those things. We are willing to stay and help you eliminate those two dark creatures!"

Hua Twelve glanced at them calmly and said, "Stand aside for now. I will release Thompson and the others first!"

Thomson smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. From now on, you are my best friend. We will definitely send you the gold we promised you. We will leave first!"

They wanted to leave this place immediately and walked outside quickly.

But the next moment, there was another sound of a gavel from behind, followed by Hua Twelve's voice:

"Thomson, you dare to take the left foot first. This is disrespectful to me. Leopard Head, except for the three just now, kill all these foreign devils!"

Leopard Head was overjoyed. He drew his long sword and rushed forward to kill.

With one blow of the knife, a head flew into Thomson's arms. He held the newly-cut head in his hands, his legs trembling, and shouted loudly:

"Sir, our gold has not been delivered yet."

Hua Twelve smiled coldly: "Do I look like someone who is short of that little bit of gold? Besides, if I kill you, your family won't know you're dead. Then I can write to you to blackmail you and ask your family to use the gold to redeem you. The gold will still be mine!"

Thompson's eyes widened. He didn't expect there would be such an operation. Just as he was about to say something, Leopard Head chopped him on the forehead with a knife, splitting him in half from the head.

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
