Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 11 Profound Objects and Evil Animals (Second Update)
Su Ji walked over and turned the person on the ground over. There were five bloody holes in his chest. It turned out to be a barefoot Taoist priest.His eyes were closed tightly, and his lips were so pale that there was no trace of blood.

Su Ji shook him twice and shouted:

"Demon way! It's too fake! Don't pretend to be dead!"

A violent cough hit the barefoot Taoist's chest, and his trembling eyelids slowly opened.

Su Ji was overjoyed and asked quickly:
"Tell me, who is my father?"

The barefoot Taoist waved his hand feebly, motioning him to come closer.Su Ji immediately put her ear to his mouth and listened to him say:

"It turns out that everything in this temple...is in the design of this evil beast..."

Su Ji frowned and said, "Who is my father? What you said is none of my business!"

"That beast is the murderer who killed your father!"

Before the word "hand" was finished, the barefoot Taoist coughed violently again, and two blood holes the size of soybeans could be seen on the hand covering his mouth, like the tooth marks left by a poisonous snake. Viscous yellow pus was continuously coming out of the hole.

Su Ji was not hard-hearted, although he held a grudge against the barefoot Taoist priest, but seeing him dying, the resentment in his heart dissipated a bit, replaced by a trace of pity.

"You drank my son's wine and haven't said who my father is, so you can't just die like this!"

"Death, I can't ask for it." The barefoot Taoist said with a self-deprecating smile: "Pierce the throat of the poor man with the mahogany sword on the ground, and the poor man will tell you!"

"You are dead, who will tell me?"

"Before the Taigong master became immortal, he passed on the Three Thousand Ways to three disciples. Pindao and the senior brother practiced the way of explaining the immortality, and the second senior brother Shenhou practiced the way of cutting off the sect. Now the method of cultivation is hidden in this Qingling Temple Middle. You can know anything you want to know after learning it. Kill Pindao, and it will be yours!"

Seeing that he wanted to commit suicide, Su Ji quickly said, "You don't need to give it to me! I will find it and it will be mine!"

The barefoot Taoist hesitated for a moment, took out a bronze bell from his pocket, and said:

"This Hongjunling is a treasure that Second Senior Brother and Pindao both want! Now Pindao is using it in exchange for his own death."

Su Ji suddenly realized that the "mysterious object" that these two old fellows were fighting for was this bronze bell.If you accept this kind of thing, you will inevitably cause a series of murders, and your life will definitely not be easy in the future.

"You'd better keep it and treat yourself. I have as many copper shells as I want."

"This is the most precious treasure of Xuanmen. It can gain insight into the secrets of heaven and seek good fortune and avoid evil! I just used it to prophesy that evil beast will survive the catastrophe ten years later, but it's a pity that I can't personally avenge the old man. However, you can use it to avenge..."

Before the word "resentment" was finished, the voice of the green fox came from the sky:

"It's really ungrateful..." Qinghu sighed: "You stinky Taoist priest have been asking for immortality all your life, and now I give you immortality, but you don't cherish it, and want to kill me instead!"

After Qinghu said, the barefoot Taoist's muscles gradually bulged, and his protruding veins kept beating.This situation was very similar to that of the old beggar, although he did not cry out or groan, Su Ji could already see that he was suppressing great pain at the moment.

"Quick! Follow me..." The barefoot Taoist squeezed out a mantra from between his teeth: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of all qi. Go through thousands of kalpas, prove the truth. Seal evil and bind evil, save thousands of people. The soul of the disciple , the five viscera are mysterious. The sword is born from the heart and reflects on my body!"

Su Ji followed the barefoot Taoist priest and recited the incantation, and the peach wood sword suddenly became golden, turning into a white light and gathering between the two fingers.He raised his hand slowly, hesitantly pointing his sword, he didn't want the barefoot Taoist to commit suicide, but also couldn't bear to see him suffer this torture.

"Do it!" the barefoot Taoist pleaded.

Su Ji gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, pointed the sharp edge of sword energy at his throat, and stabbed down!
Blood spattered out, and the bright red blood spots covered Su Ji's face in an instant.

"Hey! Wake up!"

A familiar voice came to my ears:

Su Ji woke up suddenly, got up from the wine table, his face was covered with cold sweat.

The poured wine glasses on the mahogany table glistened in the dim light of the oil lamp.Su Ji looked around and found no one around, so he called out:

"Old beggar!"

The trembling voice of the little Taoist came from behind: "Isn't the old beggar... already... dead?"

A past event suddenly flashed in Su Ji's mind!
Not long after Huan'er's death, the old beggar was too sad, overeating and eating himself to death, becoming a stuffed ghost.It was a few days ago that Su Ji buried the body with his own hands, but he didn't expect to wake up and forget everything about it.

He suddenly turned around and found that there was nothing behind him except a tortoise bed made of tortoise shells.

"Where are you?" Su Ji asked, looking around.

The trembling voice of the little Taoist came again: "I... don't know... where I am..."

Su Ji's gaze returned to the turtle bed, from which the little Taoist's voice came.Pulling aside the tortoise shell, he found a bronze bell inside.Wipe off the copper rust on the top, and saw ten lines of seal script engraved on the bell:

Lying high in the nine heavens, the futon is Daozhen,
Outside the heavens and the earth, I shall be the head teacher,
Pan Gu Sheng Tai Chi, two ceremonies and four images follow,
One pass to three friends, two teachings to explain and divide,

The leader of Xuanmen Capital, turned into Hongjun in one breath.

Isn't this the song that woke people up in the dream?
Su Ji looked at it carefully again, and although the surface of the bell was covered with dirt, the ten lines of characters shimmered faintly, showing the aura of a fairy treasure.He picked up the bell and shook it a few times. There was no copper tongue in the bell, but it could still make a crisp sound.

"Ring bell bell!"

"It hurts!"

The voice of the little Taoist came from the bronze bell: "Don't shake it! I have a headache! I feel dizzy!"

Su Ji looked at the bell in bewilderment, and murmured: "Could it be that the so-called becoming a fairy is becoming such a virtue?"

"I don't know what's wrong, I just dreamed about the total eclipse of the red moon, and it was like this when I woke up."

Su Ji couldn't help thinking of his dream just now, and vaguely recalled some vague images: a circling giant python, a strange fox shadow, a festering old beggar, a dying barefoot Taoist priest, a bronze bell, a total eclipse of the red moon...

He finally suddenly realized that the total eclipse of the red moon was the opportunity for the little Taoist priest to become Hongjunling. The old beggar was lurking in the ruined temple just to wait for this day, and the barefoot Taoist priest appeared today to avenge Hongjunling.

"So you are Hong Junling?"

The little Taoist said in astonishment, "How do you know my name?"

"Hongjun, is that your name?"

"I only mentioned my surname Li, but never my name. How would you know?"

Su Ji didn't answer, and was silent for a long time.Perhaps in the eyes of the old beggar and the barefoot Taoist priest, this little Taoist priest was never a person, but just a tool that could be used.He felt more and more sympathy for the little Taoist priest, looking at "Li Hongjun" who had turned into a bell at this time, he couldn't help sighing:

"I only have a brother like you now. If you have any wish, I will try my best to help you."

Li Hongjun said sadly: "The scriptures say that the body is like a dream, and it is a false view. All dharmas are like dreams. What you see in the dream has no reality, and all dharmas have no reality..."

Su Ji rang the bell violently, and Li Hongjun had a headache.

"Ring bell bell!"

"It hurts!"

"speak English!"

Li Hongjun said helplessly: "In short, dreams and reality are both illusions, and there is no difference in essence. As the saying goes, when you think by day, you dream by night..."

"Ring, ring, ring, ring!" Su Ji shook even harder.

"Pain Pain Pain Pain!"

"Say the point!"

Li Hongjun had a splitting headache, so he had to shout out five words:

"Help me turn back into a human!"

The sound of the bell stopped abruptly.Su Ji said with a smirk:

"Oh, why didn't you say earlier..."

Li Hongjun secretly groaned, knowing that he deliberately bullied him, but still dare not speak out.

In fact, what Li Hongjun cares most about is not the pain from ringing the bell, but that whenever he has a headache, he will see some blurred images.

Just now when Su Ji rang the bell three times, Li Hongjun saw three pictures.The longer the shake, the longer the picture lasts.

The first picture is Wang Laoqian kneeling in front of a fox;
The second picture is the details of Wang Laoqian cheating in the casino: he uses his index finger to unseal a tip bag.A faint purple air was emitted from the kit, causing the number of dice to change.

The third scene is in the cemetery, Wang Laoqian excitedly digs up a coffin with a shovel, and suddenly turns pale with shock, only to see Su Ji lying in it with a sharp knife in his mouth!

Li Hongjun was hesitating whether to tell Su Ji what he had just seen, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Su Ji quickly tied Hongjun Ling around his waist, and quickly walked out of the room. He was stunned when he saw the red moon hanging high outside!

Could the dream come true?

Could the person outside the door be that barefoot Taoist again?
When the copper ring on the door rang for the fourth time, Su Ji slowly pushed the door open...
