Wu Xie tried to find a way to be happy despite the misery, but then he felt someone step on the instep of his foot which was covered with hiking boots.
It was Pan Zi who stepped on him.
Wu Xie remained calm, but saw Pan Zi staring at the golden boy and beautiful girl opposite him. Pan Zi held the shotgun upside down, using the empty shotgun as a war hammer.
Seeing this, he also looked at the person again.
Although Wu Xie was not as experienced as Pan Zi, he was very smart. After a careful look, he also found something wrong.
How come the two people opposite are so clean as if they are taking a walk in the park? You know, even a cool and aloof person like Men Youping was covered in dust when he was drilling into the tomb.
How did these two people manage to keep their clothes clean? They couldn't have entered through the main door of the tomb, could they?
Wu Xie also widened his eyes nervously, and his thighs were so tense that they were a little painful.
The fat man also noticed something was wrong and said tremblingly: "Brother, you just set such a big fire, why didn't you see the flamethrower in your hand? It's not good to throw this thing around. It will be bad if the cops find it."
"It doesn't matter. No one in this world recognizes me anyway."
The fat man was shaking more and more. His left hand subconsciously touched the gold-touching talisman hanging around his neck, which was said to be able to ward off evil spirits. "Brother, you are joking. How could there be someone who is unknown in the world?"
"When a person has been dead for a long time, no one will recognize him, right?" Hu Xiuwu looked at his fat face that looked somewhat like Wang Kaixuan, and always wanted to tease him. He spoke in a deliberately vague manner to cause misunderstanding.
Fatty Wang is also called Wang Yueban. From his body shape and name, we can also guess whose personality Da Jin Ya referred to when writing the book.
Pan Zi said coldly: "Friend, let's make a distinction between a human and a ghost."
After so many life-and-death experiences, Pan Zi had already become a desperado. Even with this being said, he was not afraid anymore.
If it's a meat dumpling, then shine a light on the black donkey hoof on his lower back; if it's a living person pretending to be a ghost, then don't blame the butt of the gun in Master Pan's hand for being hard.
"You are Pan Zi, indeed a tough guy." Hu Xiuwu admired Pan Zi's character when he was reading the book.
Pan Zi frowned: "You know me. Then you should also know that I work for the Third Master of the Wu Family."
Anyone who knows him must be a living person, and the name of the Wu family of the Old Nine Gates can also scare the villains.
"Yeah, Wu Sanxing and Jie Lianhuan, of course I know that." Hu Xiuwu responded to Pan Zi nonchalantly, but his eyes were looking at the dark hole behind Wu Xie.
"Zhang Qiling, come out, I see you."
Wu Xie turned around suddenly and really saw Men Youping holding the black gold ancient sword.
Like the very few corpse-bugs that survived the raging fire, Men You Ping seemed to have seen some kind of natural enemy.
Men Youping, who can make the thousand-year-old female puppet kneel down, is so afraid of the person in front of him. This person is probably on the same level as the thousand-year-old zongzi in the front room!
The famous scene where the Iron Triangle first met,
After sighing in his heart, Hu Xiuwu asked Zhang Qiling a question: "Zhang Qiling, do you have my Ghost Seal?"
Chapter 388 Ghost Seal
Before Zhang Qiling could say anything, Fatty Wang was already unhappy and shouted, "Hey, brother, that's not right. Legend has it that King Lu Shang borrowed that thing from the Lord of the Underworld. How could it be that you are the Ghost King of Fengdu?"
Fatty Wang's tone was much more carefree than before, and he spoke more boldly. Before coming here, Fatty Wang had read history books and carefully studied the life of King Lu Shang. He was certain that King Lu Shang was his colleague and also a tomb robber.
Hu Xiuwu implied that the Ghost Seal was his, which meant that he was the Lord of the Underworld, the Ghost King of Fengdu.
If Hu Xiuwu said that he was the ghost of a soldier or craftsman who was killed by King Lu Shang, Wang Kaixuan would really believe it. But when he said that he was the Lord of the Underworld, Fatty Wang was not afraid anymore.
You go to steal something from a family and meet a colleague in the yard. Then that man says he is the emperor. Who would believe him?
No emperor would steal things; he would only steal people.
So, how could the Ghost King of Fengdu be the young pretty boy in front of him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible...?
thump,
The fat man knelt down on the ground and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wrong. I didn't recognize the emperor. I deserve to die."
The fat man's expression changed so quickly and he knelt so decisively, but Pan Zi and Wu Xie did not laugh at him.
After all, anyone who has an iron tiger rider with a ghost mask standing on each side and two cold steel knives at his neck will kneel down as quickly as Fatty Wang.
Along with these iron cavalrymen that looked like they were made of basalt, there also appeared a black fog that not even strong light could penetrate. The black fog seemed to have distorted the space. Although they were clearly just in a narrow tomb passage, Wu Xie and Pan Zi felt as if they were falling into an endless hell. They could not touch the sky above or the ground below, and they could not even determine their direction.
In the distance, there were shadowy figures in the fog. The iron cavalry had murderous faces and cold pupils like wolf fire. Their heavy swords formed a forest and their black armor was like reefs.
Only Hu Xiuwu, who was standing leisurely opposite them, was the only direction and the only light in this endless underworld.
Wu Xie's spiritual perception is very strong. He always feels that there are thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him coldly and mercilessly in the black fog. There is no malice in their eyes, as if they are looking at a bug, a stone, or a ruthless object that will be chopped in half without hesitation if its owner gives the order.
This indifferent attitude made him even more frightened. His back was soaked with cold sweat and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Wu Xie is not yet the scheming and calculating evil emperor in the later part of the book.
Wu Xie, a newcomer and still very immature, faced this kind of situation for the first time. No matter how smart he was, he was still a little overwhelmed. He could only look helplessly at Pan Zi next to him, wanting to know his attitude.
But when he turned his head, Wu Xie was shocked to find that the other man had already thrown the shotgun in his hand to the other side, and was squatting next to the fat man with his head held high.
Wu Xie:... Damn, you didn’t even call me.
Although he was complaining in his heart, his body honestly slid to Pan Zi's side and squatted down obediently, following his example.
Chen Duo, who was standing obediently and quietly beside Hu Xiuwu, took in the whole funny scene but did not laugh at them. She never cared about other people and naturally would not mock others.
Chen Duoxiu said softly: "You usually don't show off like this."
It was a plain narration, not a question. She understood Hu Xiuwu as well as she understood herself.
Hu Xiuwu smiled with satisfaction, like a child who had pulled off a successful prank, "I can't help it. When I see Fatty Wang's face that looks so much like Brother Kaixuan, I can't help but want to tease him."
Zhang Qiling's body trembled, and he dropped the black gold ancient sword in his hand with a "clang". He took a few quick steps, prostrated himself on the ground, and immediately formed the Ziwu Seal, shouting:
"Zhang raises his spirit and worships the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu."
Then Zhang Qiling untied the knife bag on his back and took out a dark green jade ghost seal from the secret bag. He held the seal in both hands and presented it to Hu Xiuwu, saying respectfully:
"Zhang raises his spirit and presents the Ghost Seal to Your Majesty."
Hu Xiuwu hooked his two fingers on his right hand, and the Ghost Seal held by Zhang Qiling flew into Hu Xiuwu's hands like a young swallow returning to its nest.
Wu Xie knew that he shouldn't do that, but he still couldn't hide his curiosity. He quietly looked up and took a look, wanting to see what the Fengdu Ghost Seal looked like.
The Ghost Seal hung in Hu Xiuwu's palm like a green star. The Ghost Seal was not very big, only two inches square, which was about the same size as a mobile phone's fast charging charger.
The button on the Ghost Seal is carved with a Qilin stepping on ghosts, with ghosts wailing under the hooves of the Qilin, which has been raising its head towards the sky. On the four sides of the seal are carved dragons and fish that are bending their bodies and exerting force, as if they had just passed through the Dragon Gate.
In such a small space, the dignity of the Qilin, the viciousness of the ghosts, and the striving of the dragons and fish are vividly displayed.
Hu Xiuwu pinched the Ghost Seal floating in his palm, stroked the inscription "The Origin of Ghosts and Gods" on the bottom of the Ghost Seal, and activated the power of the Ghost Seal with the magical power Beiyin Summoning.
The air around them vibrated, and faintly, several burly Yin soldiers with bull heads and steel forks in their hands were about to emerge.
Hu Xiuwu only made a brief attempt, so without waiting for the Bull-Headed Ghost to fully appear in the world, he withdrew his power, dispersed the Ghost Seal into Yin Qi and put it into the magical power·Northern Yin Summoning.
The Ghost Seal presented by Zhang Qiling can summon the Luofeng jailer Niutou Abang to arrest evil ghosts and guard criminal ghosts. When more than a thousand people gather, the evil spirits gather and condense into the Nirvana Hell to suppress the enemy.
Together with the Buyanqi that he had recently recruited, Hu Xiuwu already had the power to contend with the army of the Yang world.
The world has been plagued by the snake god for a long time and has not yet recovered. The upper limit of extraordinary people has been locked, and there are no more gods who can move mountains and cross seas.
Even Zhang Zhiwei, who stood at the top of the extraordinary people, was unable to fight against a fully-staffed and fully-armed modern army.
But now, Hu Xiuwu, who leads the six heavenly ghost soldiers, has no rivals in the world. Even the Heavenly Master, he can bully the minority with the majority. Relying on the immortal nature of the ghost soldiers and using the tactic of outlasting the old man, he can wear down the Heavenly Master to death.
"However, if I want to unleash the full power of the Ghost Seal, I still need to gather a pair." Hu Xiuwu thought to himself.
The Ghost Seal in Hu Xiuwu's hand can also be called the Ghost Seal Ox.
At the end of the original novel, Zhang Qiling had two ghost seals in his hands.
In the world of Thieves' Pen, the Ghost Seal has another ability, which is to open the bronze door and send people in.
In the plot, Zhang Qiling and the Old Nine Gates had an agreement that for a period of ten years, both sides would take turns entering the bronze gate to guard the ultimate, so both sides should have a ghost seal to open the bronze gate.
However, the Old Nine Gates later betrayed the Zhang family and did not send anyone to replace Zhang Qiling for decades. Later, Zhang Qiling lost his memory, and the Ghost Seal disappeared. He left the Bronze Gate for a while. Later, when he regained his memory, he returned to the Bronze Gate to perform his duties.
Therefore, the other Ghost Seal should be in the Old Nine Gates, but no one knows who holds it specifically, although Zhang Qiling said in the original text that it was Old Lady Huo from the Huo family who gave him the Ghost Seal.
But the world of Tomb Raider focuses on human hearts, and even the author himself cannot tell whether the truth is really like this.
If you want to find another Ghost Seal, you still have to rely on Zhang Qiling.
Chapter 389 Leaving
Turning his gaze back to Zhang Qiling who was still kneeling on the ground, Hu Xiuwu said gently: "Get up, we are already acquaintances."
Zhang Qiling did not stand up, but knelt on the ground, bowed and said in a loud voice: "Since three thousand years ago, our ancestors have been fortunate enough to see the face of the God, receive the grace of the God, and be entrusted with an important task. I am flattered, terrified, and work diligently, fearing that I will fail the grace of the God."
"Since receiving the decree, the Zhang family has followed the spirit of Yugong, strictly enforcing family rules at home and defending against treacherous thieves outside. They have selected spirits from among the descendants of the Zhang family to guard the gate, sighing in their sleep and waking up, and being vigilant at night, not daring to slack off."
Zhang Qiling banged his head on the ground, his voice hoarse and vicissitudes: "Today is the 21st generation of Qiling, and I have finally completed my mission and brought back the Lord of Yin."
Wu Xie's head was buzzing with shock from Zhang Qiling's voice, and the first thought in his mind was, "Oh my god, the mouth of Menyouping's bottle is broken, and he can actually say so many words at once, and even show off his knowledge."
Then he realized what was happening, did a quick calculation, and secretly smacked his lips:
'Their clan actually knew the Emperor of Fengdu three thousand years ago, and Zhang Qiling is only the twenty-first generation, which means that every generation of theirs has lived for at least one hundred and fifty years!'
Hu Xiuwu was filled with emotion: "Your Zhang family has indeed worked hard and made great contributions. I came here today. Do you have anything to ask for?"
Zhang Qiling's face was full of confusion. He had never thought about this question before.
Qiling is both a position and a name. Every generation of Zhang Qiling will guard the gate until death, and there has never been any talk of resigning.
Perhaps when the ancestor of the Zhang family took on the responsibility of guarding the bronze gate, it was only for the sake of immortality, but by his generation, guarding the bronze gate had become an obsession passed down from generation to generation in the Zhang family.
When each generation of the Zhang family reaches a certain age, the idea of protecting the bronze door will arise in their minds as if it were gifted by God.
The Zhang family prospered because of the clan, and the family line lasted for a thousand years, and survived several dynasties. However, the clan suddenly perished, and the Wang family shattered their faith in one day. There was internal strife in the clan, and the children of the family scattered in exile. Only Zhang Qiling was left to uphold his responsibilities.
The thousand-year mission ended one day, and Zhang Qiling was confused. He didn't know what he should do next. Should he go back to the snowy area to live out his remaining life with the ancient Buddhas and green lamps?
Hu Xiuwu saw this because he and Chen Duo had both experienced this period before.
They are like a cold lake, the surface of the lake reflects everything like a mirror, everything can only float on the water, not a single thing can sink to the bottom of the lake.
The reason why Hu Xiuwu was able to get through this period was the inspiration from the Huangting Jing and the earnest teaching of Wu Dechang.
Chen Duo's heart was changed because Liao Zhong paved the way for her, and then Hu Xiuwu, a fellow human, swam into her heart and created ripples.
