Chapter 520: End of the volume, the enemy appears
"Master Priest, I am the door god here. I belong to the Hundred Thousand Miles of Peach Forest in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea. I obey the orders of the ancestor Shen Tu. Please give me some face, sir. Three Come again in the future, the little god will be grateful." A human face slowly appeared on the mottled and ancient pear wood door, speaking sincerely.
"Is there any friendship between us?" Qin Yao said lightly.
The door god's face changed slightly: "It's the little god who accepts your favor."
"What is the use of my favor?" Qin Yao asked seriously.
Door God: "..."
"You have nothing to say?" Qin Yao asked.
The door god was silent for a moment and said: "Priest, how about a bet?"
"No bet!"
Qin Yao flatly refused and slowly raised the Seven Star Yanyue Sword: " Door God, you know what I say, I will count three times. If you don’t open the door after three times, I will open the door for you.”
"Priest, I think..." the door god said.
Qin Yao: "Three."
Goalkeeper: "We can talk about it again..."
Qin Yao: "Two."
Seeing that his heart was as strong as iron, the door god stopped talking and silently activated the power in his body. The mottled pear wood door suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light.
"One."
Finally, Qin Yao finished counting the last number. With a turn of his wrist, the Seven-Star Moon Sword struck hard at the door with a ball of golden light.
"Boom."
The blade struck the center of the door and broke in without any obstruction.
The door god cried out in pain, and the dazzling red light dissipated in an instant.
Qin Yao drew out the Yanyue Sword and put one foot in the middle of the door. The dull door shattered with a sound, sawdust flying, and the hearts of everyone in the room trembled with shock.
"Amitabha."
With the sound of the Buddha's chant, three monks whose bodies were emitting a faint golden glow, as if the Buddha had come to the world, came out together and stood in front of Qin Yao.
"Boom."
Qin Yao put the bottom of the Yanyue Sword on the ground and said coldly: "You are eminent monks in the world, why do you help Zhou to do harm and disturb Yin and Yang?"
"Principal Zhao and Practitioner Wu have a predestined relationship with our Buddha. They have been blessed by the Buddha, and their fortunes have turned around. They have turned bad things into good fortune and have not fallen into reincarnation. I also ask the benefactor to give me some mercy from Buddhism and let them go this time. The karma and debt caused by this , I will shoulder the responsibility," the old monk among the three monks said seriously.
"Destined?"
Qin Yao sneered and said: "There will be no fate sooner or later, but it happened when I came to enforce the law. I think this is not fate, but fate. Money?"
The old monk frowned: "The donor's words are too extreme. What status, what status, do you have such things as gold and silver? "
Qin Yao waved his hand: "I am not a religious man, so there is no need to say such nonsense. The lessons learned from the past are right in front of you. Are you sure you want to protect each other to the death for a little money and make the same mistake again? ”
The old monk glanced at the broken door, then turned his gaze to the long sword in Qin Yao's hand, and said softly: "Martial Saint Saber, Qinglong Yanyue!"
"Master, can you handle the power of this sword?" Qin Yao turned his wrist and inserted the Seven-Star Yanyue Sword into the floor in front of him, and asked coldly.
The old monk shook his head: "I can't catch it."
"You know you can't catch it, why don't you get out of the way quickly?" Qin Yao shouted.
"We are monks in the southern paradise, blessed by the true Buddha. Donor, for the sake of two mere souls to be enemies with us, it is not worth the loss." The old monk advised.
Qin Yao laughed dumbly: "What are you talking about? It's you who want to be my enemy now, I didn't provoke you! I don't care whether you are in the southern paradise or the northern paradise. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude. "
"Wisdom, Zhixin, you two quickly escort Zhao and Wu to the Southern Paradise. This matter is not something we can solve. I will stop the priest for you," the old monk said flatly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two monks following him turned around and rushed into a room. Each pulled out a figure, wrapped up the other and fled through the window.
"Unbridled!"
Qin Yao shouted angrily and ran with the knife in his hand. The long knife in his hand seemed as light as grass. In the blink of an eye, it was swung round and slashed at the old monk in front.
There was golden light in the old monk's eyes, and he moved quickly sideways, trying his best to avoid the blade.
Even though he has martial arts skills and decades of practice in Kong Ming Quan, which can break gold and jade, he still dare not challenge the Martial Saint Divine Sword.
Qin Yao held the Seven-Star Yanyue Sword in one hand and swung the knife like a river, constantly slashing at the old monk's body, until he was so close to a dignified Buddhist monk that he jumped up and down like an ape, dancing on the edge of the blade.
“Hundred ghosts!”
Qin Yao shouted, silently pouring a trace of mana into the ring on his hand, led by Xiao Wenjun, Athena, Xiaoxia, Red and White Shuangsha and other warriors. Hundreds of evil spirits rushed out, roaring and flying towards the old monk.
The old monk's fists shone with a faint yellow light, and he instantly fought fiercely with the ghosts.
Qin Yao took advantage of the situation and jumped out of the window. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, a cloak-like figure like a god of death paused silently in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"I am - the Lord of Darkness."
Qin Yao vaguely felt that this name sounded familiar, but at this moment he was anxious When I went to hunt down Zhao and Wu, I didn't even have time to think carefully: "No matter who you are, get out of the way and don't block my way."
"In the past three hundred years, I have traveled to every city in China, but I have never found the person of my choice, until I met you now." The Dark Lord said leisurely.
"What are you talking about?"
With such a delay, Zhao and Wu had already run away under the leadership of the monks. Qin Yao's heart was filled with anger and he suddenly raised his sword. Cut forward.
“Ding.”
The Lord of Darkness stretched out two fingers and easily clamped the magic sword carrying the power of thunder. His body stood still, motionless.
"What?" Qin Yao silently widened his eyes.
"Boom."
The Lord of Darkness shook his sleeves, and a burst of magic flew out of the air, hitting him at a speed that Qin Yao couldn't see clearly, and knocked him away. Standing up, the Seven-Star Yanyue Sword came out uncontrollably.
Qin Yao felt that his internal organs had been torn apart, and his muscular figure fell to the ground with a thud, creating a terrifying deep pit in the ground.
“Bang.”
The Lord of Darkness held the Seven-Star Crescent Moon Knife between his fingers and threw it away in the pit. The blade was deeply embedded in the ground. He asked in a deep voice: "Now, can you listen to me carefully?"
"Ahem. ""Pfft"
Qin Yao coughed twice and spit it out. With a mouthful of golden blood, he looked up at the Lord of Darkness: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I have a pawn shop. Since the last acting boss was burned to death by me for doing something wrong, I Finally, no new agent boss has been found so far. ”
The Lord of Darkness said lightly: "If you are willing to join the pawn shop and become the new boss of the pawn shop, I would like to make an exception for you and allow you to take over all matters of the pawn shop without paying any price. This has been the case for thousands of years. Unprecedented grace, compared to those agent bosses who pawned love and hatred, you are lucky enough."
"Pawn shop, the master of darkness..." Qin Yao suddenly thought of a story, and his expression changed.
As I said earlier, most of his exposure to film and television dramas in his previous life were Hong Kong dramas, Taiwanese dramas, and Australian dramas, which would only enter his field of vision unless they were breakout works.
There is such a drama, which ranked first in Taiwan’s ratings in a certain year and is called the originator of urban strange stories. Once it was broadcast, it quickly became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Its name is— - "Pawn Shop No. 8".
Even after twenty years, derivative works are still emerging one after another, just like "Infinite Horror", which started the pawn literary genre.
The Lord of Darkness is the "master" of Pawn Shop No. 8.
In other words, he is the big BOSS behind the scenes.
According to the timeline, he should have chosen Han Nuo as his chosen one at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Under his successive coercion, Han Nuo had no choice but to pawn his love in order to save his family. The acting boss of pawnshop No. 8 became a hired worker for the Lord of Darkness.
It’s just...
Although the time is right, why did this chosen person change from Han Nuo to myself? !
This is not a blessing, but a pure disaster!
Originally, this disaster should have fallen on Han Nuo, but now it fell on him.
What a shame, did you save Han Nuo?
“Didn’t I just say it clearly enough?” The Lord of Darkness asked.
Qin Yao's heart was pounding, and he felt nervous for the first time in many years.
He remembered that in the original work, the person chosen by the dark master could not force the other party to surrender by direct and violent means.
Take Han Nuo as an example. If it were not for the safety of his family, he would not betray himself to the Lord of Darkness.
"Your Excellency, you have found the wrong person." Qin Yao took a deep breath and said seriously.
The Lord of Darkness: "Whether you are wrong or not, only I can define it."
Qin Yao shook his head and said: "I mean, if you insist on choosing me, There will be great trouble. Maoshan, Fengdu Punishment Division, and even Heishan will all become your enemies!”
"But what if I succeed?" The Lord of Darkness smiled and said: "Maoshan, the Evil Punishment Department, and Heishan, won't they be my help? This is the real profit!"
Qin Yao : "..."
Damn, this logic is actually self-consistent.
"I'm warning you, don't mess around, otherwise when I start to have no bottom line, it will be too late for you to regret it."
"Don't worry, I won't attack your relatives and friends directly. , I have gained some experience by choosing so many agents." The Lord of Darkness said with a smile.
Qin Yao's heart sank and he said, "What do you want to do?"
"Let me calculate who can pose a threat to you in this world and who have had enmity with you. "The Lord of Darkness stretched out a slender palm that was emitting black smoke, and pinched his fingers to calculate: "Shi Jian... the undead in the sarcophagus... the blood demon..."
Qin Yao frowned and silently clasped his hands. Seven Stars Yan Yue Knife: "The three you mentioned are all human spirits. They will not make swords for you."
The Lord of Darkness smiled softly: "Making swords? No, I just want to be sincere. Invite them to join Pawn Shop No. 8 and give them all the resources they want. If you don’t want what I want to give you, can I give it to someone else?”
Qin Yao: “…”
"If one person is willing to join the pawn shop, then there will be two giants in the pawn shop.
If two people join the pawn shop, then there will be three giants.
If they all join the pawn shop, the four giants will The giants join forces, can you handle it?" the Dark Lord asked again.
Qin Yao: "..."
Judging from his character of cutting off the grass and rooting out the roots, the enemy who has survived to this day must be impossible to deal with or kill. There is no soft-heartedness at all. , let go of the possibility of the other party.
Shi Jian, the sarcophagus monster, and the five-thousand-year-old blood demon who came from the country, plus this dark master with unpredictable power... This is going to cost him his life!
The Lord of Darkness raised his bony palm, and a black card automatically flew out of the cuff, floating in front of Qin Yao: "If you change your mind, activate this card, and a red flower sedan will take you there. Go to the pawn shop. If so, I can help you deal with those three old enemies."
Qin Yao reached out to catch the card, and saw a blood-red sedan painted on the invitation-like black card. The opposite is true.
"Hey."
He tore off the card casually, tossed the two pieces of waste paper up lightly, and watched the pieces of paper fall slowly: "Sorry, I'm used to being a human being. , it is impossible to bend down and be a dog again.”
The Lord of Darkness was silent for a moment and said: "Although my appearance is a bit sudden for you, I really don't understand why you are so wary of me. I said I would let you in without paying any price. I will never break my promise. What are you afraid of?"
Qin Yao: "There are some things. You can't do it, you can't walk on some roads, and you're about to make a mistake. There's no problem with pawnshops, but if what's being pawned in the pawnshop is the original parts of human emotions and human bodies, what's the difference between this and human traffickers?"
"Listening to what you mean, do you still think you are a good person?" The Dark Lord laughed.
Qin Yao: "I didn't say I was a good person, but if I wasn't a good person, I couldn't be a beast, right?"
"I'm very curious, where does your prejudice against me come from? "The Lord of Darkness said: "How come all voluntary pawns that are fair and just, with clearly marked prices and information, become so ugly when it comes to your mouth?"
Qin Yao: "That sounds grand, then let me ask you a question. Where are the acting bosses of the No. 8 pawnshop in the past?"
The Lord of Darkness: "..."
" Don't tell me that they left the pawn shop after their term ended." Qin Yao asked forcefully.
“The human heart is weak and a snake swallows an elephant.”
The Lord of Darkness thought for a while and did not respond directly. Instead, he said: “They will not remember that I was the most helpless person when they were in the most difficult time. When I helped, I helped them
They will only remember that they paid for all this by themselves, and they should be grateful to themselves.
So when their wings hardened, they either wanted to get back the things they pawned from me, or they wanted to get out of the pawn shop.
A group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves are not grateful at all. "
Qin Yao was silent for a moment and asked: "So, didn't they get everything they got in exchange for their own things? "
"That's right, but giving them the opportunity to become pawnshop owners is my gift. "The Lord of Darkness said.
Qin Yao: "I probably understand your logic. Even if you squeeze out the last drop of oil and water from the other person's body, you must make the other person grateful that you gave him a job opportunity."
"This job represents Immortality is something that many people dream of. The ancient emperors who were in charge of China also dreamed of it. Not available."
"What's the point of this kind of immortality?" Qin Yao said the deafening cry in his heart: "Kneeling immortal, as immortal as a loyal dog, this god... doesn't care. "
