Republic of China

Chapter 24: Broken threads and knots of hearts
If possible, Zhao Sanyuan would like to give up his choice and leave.

Just let go of the copper heart and stop holding the last steel nail in your right hand.

but.

Some things can be escaped, and some things cannot be escaped.

Even less willing to escape.

Even if you don’t have the bodhicitta to save people in distress, you can never just watch a five-year-old girl die like this.

What's more, once he takes action, Shura Xing makes Zhao Sanyuan fight to the end.

He couldn't free his hands to wipe the blood flowing into his eyes, and his left thumb still pressed hard on the copper heart, just like holding on to Li Doumiao's lifeblood.

Li Dongzhi gritted his teeth anxiously.

The meaning of the words is not difficult to understand. It should be that Zhao Sanyuan used some method to stop the disaster for his daughter.

It can be said that it is a blessing to be able to reach this point without being a relative or a friend.

But now is not the time to be pretentious about gratitude. The desire to help made him stamp his feet anxiously.

"Old Li, I can't spare any time now. Quickly take out two sticks of incense and roll up the two portraits of the door gods and burn them. The sooner the better."

The nail head wishful thinking technique is definitely not pleasant.

Not only did the blood marks on Zhao Sanyuan's forehead become more and more ferocious, but the pain in the other four orifices of his body was not at all different, almost no different from real steel nails piercing the body.

"Burn! I'll burn it right away!" Li Dongzhi grabbed the brazier and struck the match.

Because I was so impatient, I didn't even feel the flames rising from the New Year paintings until my palms were burned.

"Apply the dust! The thicker the better, first apply it on the bridge of my eyebrows, and then pat my midsection three times in a row!"

Li Dongzhi carried out the procedure strictly, inserting his hands into it and rubbing it vigorously despite the burning ashes. Soon, many bubbles were burned, which caused excruciating pain.

But he didn't care much, and smeared ashes on Zhao Sanyuan's forehead indiscriminately. At this moment, Zhao Sanyuan's face was getting worse and worse, and the blood was mixed and flowing to his neck.

Holding back the pain, Zhao Sanyuan shouted loudly.

"The brazier is being raised! Remember to raise it directly above my head, and never go sideways!"

Without saying a word, Li Dongzhi used all his strength to raise the brazier, but due to excessive force, it was thrown away.

Oops!

This was the most direct thought in Lao Li's heart, and his heart jumped into his throat!

Although he didn't know what the consequences of failure would be, he knew very well that it would be very serious and might even kill Zhao Sanyuan.

Seeing the brazier draw an arc in the air, Lao Li closed his eyes in despair.

But luckily among misfortunes.

Although the brazier was slanted, there were no ashes from the New Year paintings, and heavy ashes fell from Zhao Sanyuan's head.

When it reached his forehead, his whole body made a crackling sound, like firecrackers in an iron barrel.

In an instant, most of the pain on Zhao Sanyuan's body disappeared.

He moved his right foot across the sky and stepped on the ground, holding a sword in his hand between his eyebrows. The wound on his forehead and the ashes between his eyebrows made his face not look ferocious, but rather like a battle-hardened general.

"Horizontal whip shines with the star of the Martial God General!"

"The golden mace helps you achieve success in painting!"

"I invite the two door gods to help my disciples slay evil spirits!"

"open!"

"open!!"

"open!!!"

Several bursts of drinking.

Zhao Sanyuan suddenly pulled the two fingers of his right hand back, causing the two nails to crack and bleed instantly.

Because of too much force, his back hit Li Dongzhi's arms.

But Zhao Sanyuan couldn't care less about the excruciating pain.

After pulling out the last steel nail from the air, the sword finger of his right hand slashed hard on the red line connecting the copper heart and the straw man.

At the same time, there is a cave in the distance.

The strange Taoist priest's hands felt severe pain as he performed the sutures, as if they were being roasted by fire.

There was even more chaos on the altar.

As if someone was stirring up the altar with swords, guns, swords and halberds, lamps, incense, candles, tributes, etc. were scattered everywhere, making a crackling sound.

He could no longer control the red line connecting the straw man and the paper man, and took a few steps back with pain in his palms.When he realized something, it was already too late to move forward, and the red thread was completely broken before his eyes.

Li's old house.

"Hurry up and give the copper heart to Lao Kang, then find a red cloth bag and put it in Dou Miao's arms. This thing will be with her for the rest of her life. You must not throw it away. Go quickly!"

After stuffing the copper heart, Zhao Sanyuan fell to the ground and gasped.

If nothing else, the nail-headed wishful thinking technique has been broken and the crisis has been temporarily resolved.

As for who is the real culprit behind the scenes, I am not in the mood to think about it now.

I just want to find a kang and have a good sleep.

Li Dongzhi solemnly took the copper heart, with thousands of words on his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. He patted Zhao Sanyuan on the shoulder and ran towards the side room.

Everything is silent.

"call--"

After lighting a cigarette, Zhao Sanyuan felt a lot less tired.

Opening the forum for the first time.

The first time to fight against the evil ways.

And without the old immortal to hold the altar, it is indeed very dangerous.

They defeated each other four times in total.

Any time you are slower than half a beat, you may be completely manipulated by the Nail Head Ruyi Technique.

It's not fucking easy.

“I’ll have to ask Lao Li to add more money later.”

Inside the room.

Kang Muang placed Li Doumiao on the head of the kang, wrapped the copper heart himself and put it in her arms.

In terms of hardship, he was actually no less tormented than Zhao Sanyuan. Strictly speaking, it was even more torturous.

Asking for help is almost the same as fighting for one's life, and it requires a lot of effort.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much after I straightened out Doumiao's arms and ankles. Just wipe the baby with hot water for a while. She will be weak for three to five days at most, and then she will still be a lively little girl."

Lao Li and his wife burst into tears again.

I want to express my sincere gratitude, but I am afraid that the voice will be too loud and disturb the poor child.

He could only hold Kang Muang's hand and thank him silently, trembling.

"Boss, let's take a break tonight. You and your sister-in-law are both scared. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Kang Muang didn't finish his words.

After thinking about it, I still can't figure out what kind of god the old Li family has offended, who is so cruel that he used sorcery to harm a five-year-old daughter?

It's really too heartbreaking.

However, both Lao Li and his wife were greatly frightened tonight, and their minds must not be clear. It would be better to wait until the old man is buried tomorrow to have a down-to-earth chat.

"I won't say much more. You and Brother Zhao will be my brothers from now on. Wife, please close the window first. Why do I feel so cold? Hey - Brother Kang, what are you doing?"

Kang Muang walked out of the wing quickly and closed the door tightly from outside to inside.

The expression on his face that had just relaxed became serious again.

Where did Lao Li feel the chilly breeze?
It's evil spirit!

Strong evil spirit!
Ordinary people can also feel the evil spirit.

It just feels a little cold, so I don't take it seriously.

But please note that if a sudden chill hits your home without windows or doors, or if your face is scraped by a gust of evil wind in a leeward place, you can choose to ignore it.

If you are unsure, just look for green onions and garlic and take a few bites. If you don’t like such strong-smelling things, you can also put the broom upside down against the wall at the entrance. If there is nothing, just sing the national anthem. very big.

Folk strangers are most sensitive to evil spirits.

After all, this thing could kill you if you don't do it right.

Although the evil spirit originally in Li's house seemed to be substantial, it was not strong.

This moment was completely different.

The evil spirit was not only stronger by three points, but at least several times stronger.

This shows that the catastrophe tonight is far from over!
