Chapter 84 Cursed Magical Power
I found a cave in the deep mountains and old forests, and meditated for a day to regain my spiritual power.
Next, we headed south, leaving the Yanyun Mountains in about two days and arriving at Daming Mansion in the north of the Song Dynasty.
Then Lin Shan showed his elder token at the local Nightingale branch, and the local helmsman immediately arranged a carriage and driver for him. For more than ten days, Lin Shan lay in the carriage and drove back leisurely.
All the way to the west, entering from the important pass Dongmenguan, passing through the central Luosong Mountains that ran through the Song Dynasty, we came to the Gyeonggi region.
When they were approaching Bianliang, the capital, Lin Shan told the driver to go back, and he climbed into the city at night. After all, this is the territory of Princess Guo and the others. These princes and nobles are all the local gangsters in the capital. If she swaggers in, she will definitely alert them.
Passing by rows of houses, Lin Shan reached Bowang Houfu. After entering, he turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a house.
Late at night, two candlelights were still blooming in the room, and a ninety-year-old man with white eyebrows and drooping shoulders sat cross-legged on the banquet. He was Nightingale's Supreme Elder.
At this time, the candlelight trembled slightly, and the Supreme Elder's innate spiritual sense noticed that something seemed to be wrong around him. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that a young man in white was sitting aside, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Master Lin? You are back!"
The Supreme Elder first rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not hallucinating, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly got up and walked to Lin Shan and poured him tea:
"When did Master Lin come back? Where is Master Huang?"
Lin Shan was quite relaxed at first, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he felt depressed:
“I just came back and was slightly delayed on the way.
As for Master Huang Xian, his deadline was brought forward and he passed away. ”
The Supreme Elder nodded slowly and did not ask how Master Huang Xian died. When people live to this age, they are eager for the last chance, so they are naturally mentally prepared, so it is not surprising that they will die early.
He just asked in a low voice: "Has what he wanted to do accomplished?"
Apparently the Supreme Elder has a good personal relationship with Huang Xianshi, and he also vaguely knows the purpose of Huang Xianshi's trip, and is also concerned about his old friend's wishes.
When Lin Shan heard this, he couldn't help but look strange.
Master Huang Xian asked him to redeem the life of the number one from twenty years ago. The problem was that she had now transformed into the proprietress of a brothel, and she was also a giant in the magic way.
You can even redeem yourself!
But in the end, judging from the results, Lin Shan delivered both the letter and Master Huang Xian's spiritual stone to the rightful owner, barely completing the explanation. What's more, I didn't gain anything at all.
Lin Shan replied feebly: "It's done."
Seeing Lin Shan's unwillingness to say more, the Supreme Elder could only nod his head: "Just try your best."
Then he began to rub his hands uneasily and hesitated to speak to Lin Shan.
How could Lin Shan not know what the old man was thinking? He took out a jade box from the storage bag and pushed it in front of the Supreme Elder.
The Supreme Elder carefully opened the jade box and saw the wooden spirit red fruit inside. He sniffed the pure spiritual energy intoxicatedly and greedily, and thanked Lin Shan endlessly.
Lin Shan waved his hand, "It's just a transaction, no need to be polite, I don't know about the token"
The Supreme Elder smiled cheerfully and directly pulled Lin Shan up: "Follow me!"
……
In a side hall, sixty or seventy boxes were placed on the ground, with Nightingale Tokens neatly placed inside.
"There are more than 20 strongholds in the various states of the Song Dynasty. All the Nightingale's tokens are here, so I won't disturb you."
The First Elder was very considerate before leaving, and did not forget to close the palace door, leaving Lin Shan alone to indulge in the treasure hunt.
This time, there were nearly 10,000 Nightingale tokens in sixty or seventy large boxes. Lin Shan touched them for nearly an hour and a half, and even touched them again after the last touch, for fear of missing one.
After confirming again, this time a full 61 points of ancient charm were obtained.
It can be said to be the biggest harvest ever!
At the same time, it was also announced that Nightingale, the killer organization that had monopolized the killer industry in the world and had been spread throughout the Song Dynasty for eight hundred years, had been completely wiped out by him!
"I'm afraid that there is only a strange organization like Nightingale in the mortal world, which can be passed down from ancient times for such a long time, and has a great reputation in all folk martial arts circles."
"Recognize orders but not people."
This tradition, talked about by countless mortals, has made the Nightingale Token a unique legend in the martial arts world. It has gathered the beliefs of many warriors and common people in the world and has been widely circulated in stories and storytelling.
Lin Shan sighed slightly. The 77 points of ancient charm in his hand should be barely enough for him to strengthen in the future, including replacing various advanced skills, spells and equipment.
However, the further you get to the later realms, the consumption of ancient charm increases exponentially, so naturally the more you have in reserve, the better. After all, after Nightingale finished harvesting, he would have no other stable channels, so he should focus his main attention on the Immortal Cultivating Sect.
In fact, what he was vaguely worried about was the "Foundation Building Pill". This kind of thing was simply priceless and could only be found occasionally at auctions. If I want to strengthen one, it will definitely not be a simple enhancement of the elixir during the Qi training period, but it will involve assisting the effects of "Qi and Shenhe" and "Dao marks". I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.
After leaving the main hall, he greeted the Supreme Elder who had been waiting outside. The two of them talked about the investigation commissioned by Lin Shan and the news about the giant black lotus Buddha statue that a certain prince and nobleman brought back to the capital from southern Xinjiang.
The Supreme Elder frowned and said that in the past six months, he had only found out that the person came to Beijing that day and sent the Buddha statue directly to the palace. The palace was heavily guarded and his men were unable to investigate deeply.
Lin Shan could only sigh secretly and keep it in his heart for the time being.
There are foundation-building monks from the Immortal Cultivation Sect stationed in the palace. Even the royal family of the Song Dynasty has been searching for spiritual stones for so many years and has trained several foundation-building masters of their own. Currently, I still can't break through.
What's more, he also killed Princess Dayan, whom the monks in the foundation-building period of the royal family spent huge sums of money to buy at the Yichuan auction. If both princesses knew about this, they would probably tell the royal family about it.
The only good thing is that Princess Dayan seemed to have said before her death that the royal family member who bought her was visiting the Cultivation Family, so he might not have time to pay attention to her for the time being.
Lin Shan shook his head and put this matter aside for now. The Supreme Elder proposed to Lin Shan to be the Nightingale's guest at the right time, and the treatment would be generous, but Lin Shan declined. The mortal world is too barren, and he will not be able to go any further if he stays here for the rest of his life.
The two chatted for a long time again. Seeing that it was almost dawn, Lin Shan finally left.
After all, the people he had to deal with next, Princess Guo, Jinyi Middle-aged and others, were all immortal cultivators from the royal family of the Song Dynasty. They were quite powerful in the mortal world, and he didn't want to involve Nightingale.
……
After dawn, Lin Shan hid his face, found an inn and stayed at random.
Although the Supreme Elder's commission for this trip has been completed and Gu Yun has been harvested, it stands to reason that he can return to Yichuan. But we couldn't just forget about being ambushed on the way here.
Although two of the four people died, the main culprits, Princess Guo and middle-aged Jinyi, were still alive.
Lin Shan was originally not very generous and would not avenge his hatred. How could he bear this feeling in his heart?
Fortunately, when I was leaving that fight with the red-faced Tutuo, I picked up Jinyi's scrapped talisman sword in middle age, just in time to try out the cursed magical power I had mastered - the Book of Seven Arrows with Nail Head.
You're middle-aged in brocade, right? I'll give you a sacrificial flag first today!
Lin Shan arranged a bunch of props in the guest room. The straw man was placed in the front and center, and two lamps were lit on both sides. He placed the two broken swords of the middle-aged man in brocade in front of the straw man, and finally took out a homemade bow and arrow.
After closing the curtains, the light in the room dimmed instantly, leaving only two candles dancing strangely, and an inexplicable cold breath invaded the room.
The little straw man seemed to suddenly grow taller at this time, occupying most of the room under the dim candlelight, and a huge shadow appeared behind Lin Shan at some point.
Lin Shan, who had arranged the curse ceremony, had no idea anything was wrong. He just saw that the atmosphere was in place and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey hey hey!"
With a sinister smile on his lips, Lin Shan drew his bow and arrow, and slowly aimed at the straw man.
At this time, the magical seeds deep in his soul activated an indescribable charm. Lin Shan instantly felt that the bow and arrow in his hand seemed to be aimed not at the straw man in front of him, but at the little man who was colluding behind him. Small space passage
His consciousness instantly extended infinitely, crossing an unknown distance. Through the straw man, we came to the opposite side, which seemed to be a dark and airtight space, with a dark silhouette like a figure sitting cross-legged there.
The candlelight in front of the straw man also slowly penetrated into the space strangely. Lin Shan used the candlelight to see clearly that the figure was dressed in brocade clothes and had a square face. It was the middle-aged man in brocade clothes who ambushed him with Princess Guo that day.
At this time, the middle-aged man in Jinyi suddenly felt a little cold around him. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that at some point, two more beams of light appeared for no reason in his dark and closed secret room. Looking at the floor below him, he saw two shadows of himself faintly overlapping on the left and right.
"What's going on? What the hell?"
The middle-aged Jinyi suddenly felt something was wrong. Where could the light source come from in his dark secret room? How come there is my own shadow on the floor?
But at the next moment, Lin Shan outside the space loosened his bowstring directly towards the straw man.
"Crack!"
An arrow hit the straw man.
"Uh-huh!"
On the other side of the passage, the middle-aged man in Jinyi screamed heart-breakingly, his voice filled with emotions such as fear, doubt, hesitation, and confusion.
Lin Shan took advantage of the fact that the passage was not over and continued to observe the middle-aged man in Jinyi across the other side. It was found that this person was covering his chest with his hands, his face was twisted in extreme pain, his legs were kneeling on the ground at some point, and wisps of strange purple-gray mist were steaming all over his body.
Gray lines appeared one after another on his face, and there seemed to be indescribable terrifying creatures squirming in his skin. His whole body was green and green, and his blood vessels were sometimes thick and sometimes narrow, as if countless ants were crawling under his skin.
The middle-aged Jin Yi also started to act like a madman, sometimes dancing wildly and sometimes crying.
"Chi chi chi!"
Inexplicable screams broke the silence. His skin was like a deflated balloon, which was punctured. Black beetles came out one after another, crawling in and out of his body.
Lin Shan outside the passage also felt a little cold. This seemed completely different from the first time he experimented with the soul of the old man in green robe!
Could it be that the souls of the dead are too fragile and the disaster is simply gone? Living people need to be tortured slowly?
"Ho ho! Ho."
"What? Ah! No."
But the next scene gradually blurred, and the passage on the other side of the straw man slowly closed. However, before closing, it seemed that the figure on the opposite side was twitching irregularly, as if some more terrifying creature was coming out of nowhere.
The sound of heavy breathing, messy footsteps, and the tearing of flesh and blood, including the final roar, made Lin Shan's scalp numb.
"There seems to be something wrong with this magical power"
At this time, all the props on the field were restored to their original state. Everything just seemed to be an illusion, but Lin Shan knew that these had really happened.
The curtains were opened, and the light from outside spilled into the guest room. The straw man inside the room fell to the ground with arrows stuck in his body. The two lamps on both sides were still burning, but the flames seemed to have dimmed a lot.
Lin Shan was thoughtful. The fire was still burning, which meant that the middle-aged Jinyi was still alive. If the fire went out, it meant that the middle-aged Jinyi was directly cursed to death. Maybe it was because he had just reached the late stage of Qi training and his cultivation level was not much higher than that of middle-aged Jin Yi.
Didn't die once? Then come more often! Don't you like playing with me? Let's just have fun!
Because the Seven Arrows of Nails book has magical power restrictions, it can only be used three times a day. Lin Shan waited patiently for it to cool down after using up the number of times.
After these few days, he stayed in the guest room every day, cursing Jinyi's middle-aged man once when he had nothing to do. Every time, the lights would dim a lot until it seemed like he was about to be destroyed.
……
At the same time, located to the southwest of the capital of the Song Dynasty, is the majestic Prince Qi's Mansion with carved railings and jade walls.
A group of royal family members were wailing and sobbing continuously. It turned out that the Crown Prince of Qi was suffering from a serious illness for some unknown reason and his health was deteriorating.
The old King Qi even invited the imperial doctor from the palace, but he was helpless!
