Chapter 279 "Gift"
The road in Kyoto is wide and long, with few trees on the side, so we can only find slopes for cover.
There were three people hiding behind the slope, two men and one woman.
The two men were wearing coarse cloth clothes and turbans, like ordinary townspeople in the city; the woman was dressed in gauze, with a large patch of snow-white chest exposed, attracting attention.
She is pretty, with an oval face, and she is not very young. She should be a courtesan. If she is placed in the hook bar, she will be able to attract big rewards from the young master.
But at this moment, the woman looked drowsy, her head kept pointing, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep on the ground.
"Did you not sleep last night? You spent the whole night with some wild man? You are so sleepy."
The older man scolded the woman, and the woman muttered. He opened his mouth and said vaguely:
"A rich scholar came to see me last night. He took some strong medicine and tortured me all night. Now my bones are almost falling apart."
That man was so angry:
"The most important person in our list today is King Wei! With your sleepy behavior, I won't take you with me when I run away."
Hearing this, the woman seemed to finally wake up. At one point, his head shook like a rattle:
"That won't work. If I stay here, I'm afraid I will be chopped into pieces."
"Then cheer up and take out the The energy you have for making love with men is gone.”
The woman patted her cheek and cheered up.
The middle-aged man took out a wooden fish from his arms, and the younger man took out a rattle.
Finally, there was this woman. She dug around her chest, took out a human skin mask as thin as silkworm wings, and touched her face.
Her face immediately changed and turned into a soldier wearing armor.
"Then I'll go there first." Even the voice changed into a refreshing male voice, and the woman trotted towards the street.
"Brother, can you do it? We are dealing with King Wei this time." The young man was a little nervous.
"There's nothing we can't do." The middle-aged man spat: "It's not like we haven't killed adults before. Even if we can't kill him, we can still make him feel uncomfortable for a while, but we can't get the full reward."
He said this I wasn't that confident at that time.
The main thing is that their abilities are not that powerful.
These three are famous surrender masters in Kyoto. The reason why they are famous is not because they are good at fighting, but because they are good at running.
After all, there are many masters in Kyoto, and there are many ways to relieve the head-lowering effects. Often the head-lowering masters work hard to use the head-lowering technique that can kill people, and in the end, the target is left with a cold or a cold. , he will be traced in reverse, and if he is caught, his life will be at risk.
The three of them finally understood what was going on, so they simply learned and practiced escape techniques diligently, never showing up in person if they could. Because of this caution, they still survived after many years of operation.
Nine out of ten people in this business are dead. The three of them who are alive will naturally become the most famous.
But today is a little different.
Ordinary head-dropping alchemy requires the use of human life and the corresponding horoscope, but the fate of the feudal king is also enshrined in the ancestral hall in Kyoto. If any head-dropping magician who does not have long eyes dares to curse the feudal lord by relying on the horoscope below, he will definitely Eating dragon veins will backfire, and you will die before your birth.
So,
At least one of them must "see" Li Ji.
This important task falls on the Huajie woman.
She is good at the art of change, and has mastered the power of mirror, flower, water and moon. As long as she can see Li Ji, the two people here will ring the wooden fish and shake the bell.
The unsuspecting country man ate the head-dropping technique carefully prepared by the two of them. Within three days, he would vomit blood and eventually his whole body would fester and turn into a puddle of thick water.
Even if King Wei has a life-saving treasure, he will definitely be uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing that everything was ready, the middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow his saliva?
Yesterday during the day, he went to the Miaoli Pavilion where the murder mission was transferred. He first touched the reception maid, and then saw such a sensational list, which frightened him to death.
In all these years in Kyoto, he has killed wealthy businessmen and officials, but this is the first time I have seen him kill a feudal king!
But this single master has great supernatural powers. Not only can he point out which path King Wei takes, but he also promises to give a large sum of money even if he fails. The greed in his heart is like an itchy feather, and he really has no choice. Hold it back and take the order.
Do your best and then go back to collect the reward.
Press your mind, wait for the signal, and be ready at all times.
……
It will take a total of three days on the way to Kyoto, just having nothing to do and chatting.
After talking and laughing in the car for a while, Zuo Chen suddenly felt something. He lifted the curtain on the car, stuck his head out and took a look at the slope outside, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on his face: < br>
“King Wei, it seems that Kyoto does welcome you and me.”
"How do you say this?" Li Ji also followed Zuo Chen's gaze and looked outside.
He didn't see anything, he just felt that the weather was a little cloudy, as if it was going to rain.
Suddenly I saw a soldier in armor coming from the end of the road not far away, alone.
“This person?”
“A thief.”
"Understood."
Li Ji waved to the soldiers to get ready.
I saw the "soldier" coming from a distance, kneeling on one knee:
"His Royal Highness, the Imperial Guards of Kyoto, are here to greet His Highness."
Soldier Half-kneeling on the ground, he lowered his head to hide the cold sweat under his mask.
This promiscuous woman is quite confident in her ability to hide her appearance and does not think that she will reveal her secret.
Seeing that there are so many soldiers surrounding him, it is unrealistic to say that he is not panicking.
And for some reason, she was still feeling dizzy, half asleep and half awake, making it difficult to concentrate.
Yesterday, the strange guest seemed to have a crush on her. He had been teasing her behind her back for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he felt a numbness on his back.
I could only brace myself, raised my eyes slightly, and waited for Li Ji to come out of the sedan. But she didn't notice that all the soldiers now looked at her with strange expressions.
It's like looking at a fool.
"What is this thief planning to do?" Li Ji asked Zuo Chen.
"She has the magic of reflecting flowers in the mirror. I think she wants to use herself as a medium to perform magic on the people she sees." Zuo Chen said: "There are still two evil spirits behind the soil slope. It should be He's her accomplice."
"As soon as I entered Kyoto, some idiots wanted to put a curse on me. It's really funny." Li Ji sneered, "I don't think anyone can figure out the reason. Just send your men to kill them.”
"Why bother? Just let it reap its consequences."
Zuo Chen chuckled and reached out to grab it.
This is the method of "borrowing auspicious words".
For those who have been "borrowed auspicious words", all spells will be returned.
Xiazizi is harming others?
If this harms others, it will eventually harm yourself.
"Just show your face in front of this person."
Zuo Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Zuo Chen’s words, Li Ji also had doubts in his heart. He didn’t know what Zuo Chen planned to do.
But in line with the idea that the Taoist priest would definitely not harm him, Li Ji directly poked his head. He got out of the carriage and glanced at the "soldiers" outside.
When the Fengchen woman saw Li Ji's face, she felt ecstatic in her heart, and she used her Dantian as her heart to activate her Taoism.
Invisible fluctuations centered on her, surging outward like waves.
The two people behind the slope in the distance felt something in their hearts, and immediately started knocking on the wooden fish and ringing the bells.
Wisps of evil light emanate from the two objects, and just being close to them can make people feel cold all over.
The evil yet somewhat holy voice sounded from around the two of them, like incense in a Buddhist temple, or like a ghostly realm.
Knock the wooden fish three times and ring the bell three times, and the evil light will flourish.
The head-lowering technique has been established, they only need to stop and evacuate.
But just when the two men wanted to move, they found that their bodies were out of control. They were still ringing the bell and knocking the wooden fish, unable to stop at all.
“This?”
Backlash? !
We used the head-lowering technique, but actually turned the spearhead and turned back?
My eyes widened and I felt panic.
Even if they reacted, the two of them had no chance to revive. They could only watch as their bodies were being burned by Haruyuki, melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the bell was rang to knock the wooden fish for the fourth time, their skin had completely melted, revealing the flesh and blood hidden under the skin.
On the fifth time, their flesh, blood and internal organs also turned into a puddle of mud and fell to the ground.
On the sixth time, even the bones turned into thick water and hit the ground.
In the end, only the wooden fish and the bell were left, falling helplessly on the ground among the pus and blood, lying quietly.
The woman who cast the spell on Li Ji suddenly felt an unspeakable stench coming from in front of her, rushing straight to her head. She didn't even remember to speak, so she rolled her eyes and fainted with a pop. Fell to the ground.
The human skin mask on her face also fell off with the wind, and her figure dispersed like mist, turning into the appearance of a prostitute again.
He breathed his last and died.
Li Ji clicked his tongue in surprise.
From his point of view, he just showed his face, but he died suddenly on the opposite side.
Taoist Master’s ability is truly miraculous.
I called the soldier pulling the carriage and asked him to see if the alchemists had left any evil objects. The soldier immediately changed his horse and ran, and it didn’t take long to reach the back of the slope. There were blood stains on the ground.
The death was miserable.
"You will not live if you do your own evil." The soldier spat on the dirty blood.
Dismounted and drew his sword, pointed it at the wooden fish and the bell on the ground and struck it twice. The two evil objects were destroyed on the spot.
After returning to the team, he reported to Li Ji, who nodded with satisfaction.
It would be better for such evil people who use alchemy to harm others to die.
"This corpse..."
Li Ji looked at the only remaining woman.
The other party was lying on the ground, his face was peaceful, as if he was sleeping.
Suddenly,
The woman who had lost her breath moved her fingers.
She stood up with only her legs and ankles without any support!
The sudden situation frightened the surrounding soldiers, who picked up weapons and surrounded the woman. However, she did not panic at all. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Chen:
"Taoist priest, someone asked me to deliver something to you. A gift."
As if controlled by an invisible force, the woman slowly turned around, turned her back to Zuo Chen, and took off her coat.
Her back was exposed to the air. At this moment, the people around her discovered that the back that should have been smooth and flawless had been carved with a knife:
"Welcome to the True King" Welcome.”
