Chapter 58

Uncle Jingming aimed the strip of cloth at the gap of the mandible, carefully passed it through, and tied a knot at the end.Then he took another skull with his left hand, and another piece of cloth with his right hand, and threaded the bone in the same way.One by one, repeated many times, a bunch of white bones are strung together like a bunch of peppers, and can be carried with one hand.

Su Ji started to help, while telling him the previous nightmare.

After listening to Su Ji's description, Uncle Jingming quickly fell into deep thought, and the movements of his hands gradually slowed down.

"Four... ghost-like people? Are they people or ghosts?" Uncle Jingming's expression was a little dazed, but he seemed to know something.

"It should be a human." Su Ji handed a skull to him, and added: "However, they are incomplete people, and most of them have crippled bodies."

"What does it look like?"

Su Ji tried hard to recall that dream, and tried to describe the appearance of the four men in words:
"The first face looks weird. There is only one eye socket above the bridge of the nose, and it is empty. It should be blind."

Uncle Jingming suddenly widened his eyes and urged:
"What about the second one?"

"The second one is yellow and thin, with only one leg, and he can't even stand firmly. It seems that he can only walk around."

Uncle Jingming didn't speak, his expression became more and more unnatural.

Su Ji went on to describe: "The third one has thin cheeks, pale skin, and only one arm."

Uncle Jingming stopped stringing the bones and said:

"Okay, I probably know."

"I haven't said the fourth one yet. The fourth one is the most special among several people!"

"I know what you want to say..." Uncle Jingming looked directly into Su Ji's eyes and said, "You want to say that the fourth one doesn't show any defects, and seems to be a very complete person. Right?"

"That's right." Su Ji asked quickly, "Do you recognize these four people?"

"It's more than acquaintance." Uncle Jingming smiled wryly, pointed to the roof above, and said, "They are on the upper floor, and they are all monks from the Xuanqing four realms. You will see it when you fetch water later... no No, no, it's better not to see the four of them..."

Su Ji already felt the danger of these four people from his fearful tone.He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"There are more than four, there is another woman in my dream."

"Women?" Uncle Jingming thought for a moment, then said with a blank face: "There are only four of them up there, and there are no women. Unless... they are newcomers, and they were directly sent to the second floor by the Linglong Blood Formation."

Su Ji closed her eyes slightly, thinking what would happen to a woman sent to this place?
Unknowingly, the fierce words of the woman in the dream revived vividly in his mind:

"Kill them!"

"Kill everyone!"

What kind of hatred is that?
At this moment, what Su Ji cared more about was not the woman, but the four men she wanted to kill.

Uncle Jingming murmured in a low voice: "When you enter the tower prison, you must know those four men. Since you mentioned it today, I will tell you by the way. These four men were originally the high priests of the Jiejiao, and they came from four different schools. The Xirong tribes are: the one-eyed medical immortal of Quanrong, the two-headed general of Yiqurong, the three-legged flower thief of Bairong, and the four-armed gambling ghost of Guirong..."

One eye, two heads, three legs, four arms...

Su Ji originally thought that the appearances of the current Jujiao priests were unimaginable enough, but compared with these four, they were insignificant. I really don't know where the Jujiao got so many freaks?

"I've only heard of a few priests of Jujiao, but the four you mentioned are unheard of."

Uncle Jingming shook his head disdainfully, and said contemptuously: "The current four priests only have the cultivation level of the second level of Xuanqing, but the original four high priests are of the fourth level of Xuanqing! Their cultivation level has been doubled. And before There are not four high priests of Jiejiao, but five. The fifth priest is from Shenrong, you must have heard of it..."

"Who?"

"Jiang Xuan."

Upon hearing this name, Su Ji couldn't help but clenched his fist slightly, and asked, "Jiang Xuan was also a priest of Jiejiao before?"

Uncle Jingming nodded, and said: "Jiang Xuan was originally called the Lord of the Five Poisonous Snakes, and he was the lowest seniority among the five priests. When he was the eldest son of the State of Shen, King Zhou Li was in power. Back then, King Zhou of Shang wanted to be a cruel and stupid king. Jiang Xuan and the other four priests swore to overthrow the Zhou family, slaughter the Chanjiao, and restore the Jujiao. Little did they know that the one who sent these four people to the tower prison was precisely It's Jiang Xuan."

"Why did he turn against the four brothers? For power? Or profit?"

Uncle Jingming shook his head and sighed: "Neither of them, I have to say it, just for a word of love."

Su Ji frowned and said, "A person like him can also recognize this word?"

"The love in Jiang Xuan's eyes has already turned into hatred." Uncle Jingming's voice was low, with a trace of regret in his tone: "Jiang Xuan was a hero who stopped teaching in the past. It is a pity that the Zhou family was supported by educating and teaching, and it was difficult to overthrow it for a while. After the death of King Zhou Li, the successor King Xuan of Zhou was quite popular, but he was a womanizer. He heard that Jiang Xuan’s wife was a A stunning beauty, he wanted to take it for himself, but he couldn't get what he wanted because of the unity of the five armies in the Western Regions. Until one day, he got a strange man named Xibo Jifu. This man was so intelligent that someone It is said that he is comparable to the old grandfather Jiang Shang."

Su Ji said disapprovingly, "How can anyone compare to Mr. Jiang?"

"I also think it's exaggerated, but no one can say how much Jifu will do in the future. Because the grand master Jifu is not a late bloomer like Jiang Taigong, but a young man. Rong, won a complete victory. This battle shocked the entire five clans of Xirong, making Quanrong, Yiqurong, Bairong, Guirong, and others all intend to submit to the Zhou family, but Jiang Xuan of Shenrong insisted on fighting against the Zhou family. Confrontation. On the surface, the four Rongs are united with Shen Rong, but in fact, each of them has already secretly communicated with the Zhou family. Jiang Xuan's four brothers were ordered by the lords of the countries to attack Jiang Xuan together, and dedicated him and his wife to King Xuan of Zhou. King Xuan didn't kill Jiang Xuan, but gouged out his eyes, cut off his right arm and left leg, and sent him back to Shen."

"Then Jiang Xuan has become a disabled person, how can he make a comeback?"

"Jiang Xuan is also a blessing in disguise. Among the ten unique formations created by the ten heavenly monarchs in the past, only the blood transformation formation has no one to inherit. It is said that to practice this formation requires self-destructive physical body, and no one has dared to try the formation. Previously, it was claimed that whoever can cultivate the blood-transforming array can be the chief priest of the Jiejiao."

"What is an officiant?"

"The fox master Mo Shu of the Xuanhu Sect is the chief priest of the Jiejiao. The position of the chief priest is above all the elders, and he is often the successor of the leader of the Jiejiao. As for how Jiang Xuan practiced the blood transformation formation, I don't know. , I only know that after he became the priest of Jiejiao, he did not take revenge on the four brothers who betrayed him."

Su Ji sneered, and said: "Jiang Xuan is a smart person, in order to win the trust of the congregation, of course he would not do this."

"That's right. In the second year after he became the leader of the interceptor, he began to give blood for blood. He dug out the one-eyed eye of the one-eyed fairy doctor and made him blind; he cut off one leg and one of the three-legged flower thief. Lifeblood, turned him into a leg. Cut off the three arms of the four-armed gambler, making him a one-armed..."

"So, the seemingly complete person in my dream is the two-headed general?"

Uncle Jingming nodded, and said: "The two-headed god general was born with a vision, and he was originally a brotherhood. Jiang Xuan cut off one of his heads, which is equivalent to killing his own brother. Sometimes, killing is actually a kind of brotherhood." A kind of forgiveness. Jiang Xuan obviously did not forgive his four sworn brothers, but threw them into this Linglong Tower Prison, making them torment every day and suffer alive.”

Uncle Jingming was talking in full swing when he suddenly heard someone say:
"You know a lot..."

Su Ji turned his head slightly, only to see that it was Bai Xiu who was sitting beside him who was talking.He looked at Uncle Jingming and said:

"If you didn't know too much, you would spread rumors that Jiang Xuan's wife had an affair with the three-legged flower thief and gave birth to Jiang Ying. I'm afraid I wouldn't have been sent here."

Uncle Jingming's face suddenly twisted.

Su Ji fell into deep thought. If it was true what Bai Xiu said, then how similar Jiang Ying's experience would be to his own.No wonder Jiang Xuan would kill his son cruelly, because he suspected that Jiang Ying was not his own flesh and blood.

"Why are you two dawdling there!" A thirsty monk urged loudly.

"Why did it take so long?" Another monk shouted sharply, "I'm going to die of thirst!"

Uncle Jingming quickly stood up, held up high the two large clusters of white skulls, and said with a smile:
"Okay! It's all done! Let's go up now."

With that said, he handed one of the bones to Su Ji.
