Chapter 34 My Master Said He Wanted to Replace You
Jiang Yuan's tone of voice suddenly returned to normal, and he even shouted for help. Xu Qiang thought to himself that something was wrong, the great-grandfather who was attached to him had left!
Jiang Yuan's mediocre kung fu is not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Almost at the same time, he rushed in with the combat team, but unfortunately the road was narrow and could only accommodate one person. It was dark inside and there were many turns, so he couldn't run fast at all.
Jiang Yuan ran out desperately, but it was obviously too late. A gloomy and sticky black shadow, carrying a disgusting bloody aura, went straight to Jiang Yuan's back.
At this critical moment, a phantom of a bell appeared on Jiang Yuan's body, with Taoist maxims hanging on it. The moment the evil spirit touched Jiang Yuan, a layer of green light burst out from the surface of the bell.
Then, the bell grew larger and turned into a bell-shaped shadow, protecting him firmly inside.
"Dang!" The evil spirit hit the phantom, but not only did it fail to hurt Jiang Yuan, it was instead fiercely bounced away by the Taoist true power.
"Ah!" The evil spirit let out a scream, and black smoke rose from the places where the green light touched.
Jiang Yuan knew that it was the protective bell given to him by his master. The instinct for survival made his usually chaotic mind become much clearer. He could see all kinds of auras around him, and he knew how far away the things behind him were without looking back. He could even see that the captain was not far away.
Jiang Yuan didn't have time to think about his changes. He burst out with unprecedented speed and ran out desperately.
Unfortunately, he ran too fast and almost hit the wall when turning. Just when he paused, the breath came again, and this time the target was the back of his head!
Jiang Yuan's scalp was numb, and tears flowed uncontrollably, "Ancestors, Tathagata Buddha, Wuliang Tianzun, Master!"
Just when Jiang Yuan was in despair, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" three dull loud noises were heard in succession. A long black object, as if wrapped in a weight of ten thousand pounds, penetrated through three layers of hard reinforced concrete floor slabs like a hot knife through butter, pierced into the evil spirit's newly condensed body, and penetrated deeply into the ground behind Jiang Yuan. The violent force blasted a spider web-like crack on the ground.
The evil Buddha who was chasing Jiang Yuan only had time to let out a short scream before he stopped moving in an instant.
Jiang Yuan staggered and almost fell backwards into the hole he had just dug behind him. He looked back in shock. He was already dazed, and now he was so shocked that he was completely stunned.
It turned out to be an ancient and heavy black scabbard!
Black flames were still burning on it, and the remaining evil energy twisted a few times in the flames before completely turning into green smoke and dissipating its soul.
Jiang Yuan raised his head stupidly and looked up along the place where the scabbard fell. Several layers of the floor were smashed through. Above the night sky, a crescent moon hung high and cold. Under the moonlight stood a slender and tall figure. From this angle, the legs... were so long!
Si Cang used the momentum of a few others to jump down from above, landing steadily without a sound.
He held a long sword in his hand, also ablaze with black flames. Unlike the narrow-backed Tang sword that Duan Anluo had conjured from his black energy, this sword was slightly thicker and longer. It was a deep black, and some ancient dragon-shaped patterns seemed to be coiled around the blade.
Si Cang pulled out the scabbard stuck in the cement board, shook off the dust on it, and sheathed the knife. Jiang Yuan was shocked by his handsome action, "Grandmaster!"
After surviving the disaster, Jiang Yuan finally found his backbone. He ran over excitedly and wanted to hug Si Cang's arm like he hugged Duan Anluo. However, Si Cang held his head down with one hand. Jiang Yuan stretched out both arms to reach, but failed.
Looking at the knife in Si Cang's hand, Jiang Yuan burst into tears: He was not even as tall as the knife!
Si Cang's eyes fell on Jiang Yuan's face, and his tone was full of obvious disgust, "Why are you crying?"
Jiang Yuan wiped his tears fiercely, "Grandma, I almost died."
Si Cang twitched his lips, "What kind of name is this?"
Xu Qiang, who had already arrived, was relieved to see that Jiang Yuan was fine. Looking at the young man with a strong aura in front of him, he was curious. Is this the great-grandfather that Jiang Yuan mentioned? His temperament is different from what he imagined.
Jiang Yuan racked his brains, trying to come up with a more appropriate name: "Uh, great-grandfather? Grandfather? Great-great-grandfather? Grandmother-in-law?"
I feel like none of them are as tasty as Zushi Nai. What should I do?
"Stop." Si Cang interrupted him helplessly. If he continued to shout, he would have died several times. He looked around and frowned slightly, "Where is he?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned. Who?
Si Cang was speechless. Such a little idiot could become the leader of Xuanmen. Xuanmen really had no one left.
Xu Qiang secretly observed from the side and was certain that their temperaments and ways of speaking were completely different. The one before him was like the knife in his hand, domineering and sharp. The one just now was also strong, but seemed more lazy and casual. When did Jiang Yuan, the little goose, meet such a person?
Jiang Yuan finally reacted, "My master is gone."
Thinking of Duan Anluo's sudden departure, the child couldn't help but sound a little aggrieved. He was scared to death. He almost died. How could he live without his master? His master couldn't even wash a bowl!
Si Cang's tone rose slightly, "Gone?"
Jiang Yuan nodded and added, "Yeah, I left as soon as I said I would."
Si Cang's brows knitted together, and even the air seemed to stagnate. Duan Anluo had called him over, saying his life was in danger and asking him to come and save it, and had even specifically instructed him to bring a weapon. And yet, he showed up, and Duan Anluo left on his own?
An inexplicable anger rose in his heart. He didn't want to come in the first place. Duan Anluo always subtly influenced his thoughts and affected his judgment, making him, a person who was extremely self-disciplined and used to being in control of everything, feel extremely uncomfortable. He even felt a little out of control and irritated.
Especially after taking Duan Anluo to see Master Zhou, he subconsciously wanted to avoid Duan Anluo.
He himself couldn't explain why he had to confirm that Duan Anluo was the original one, as if deep in his heart he stubbornly believed that the soul that could conclude that special contract with him must be Duan Anluo, and only Duan Anluo, and he could not accept anyone else.
This inexplicable obsession made him irritated. Duan Anluo was so devoted that he didn't even reply to his message.
However, after struggling for a long time, he found that he couldn't calm down at all. He was worried that the careless person would really kill himself, so he couldn't help but come over to take a look.
What's the result?
Duan Anluo is not here!
Suppressing his surging emotions, Si Cang asked coldly, "What about the thing he can't solve?"
He looked around the messy basement. "Isn't there some Buddha who kills countless people, is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is filled with resentment. Even he can't defeat him?"
Jiang Yuan pointed to the place at Si Cang's feet where the scabbard had inserted the evil spirit into the cement board. There was a deep hole with a shallow mark on it left by the evil spirit after being burned.
Jiang Yuan: "That's it."
Si Cang glanced down in the direction of Jiang Yuan's finger, then looked up at Jiang Yuan, and then glanced at the frightened expressions of the people who rushed in. After a moment's silence, he opened his thin lips slightly and uttered two words coldly: "That's it?"
That's it? That's it? Jiang Yuan was anxious, gesticulating excitedly: "No way! This evil spirit is really powerful! It only became weaker after my master took it out of the stone sculpture! Such a huge stone monster! It's really full of evil energy and invulnerable to swords and spears! My master summoned lightning and blew it to pieces. The ground is all stone!"
Si Cang listened carefully, didn't quite understand, but also expressed respect, "Oh."
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Forget it, since I can't explain it clearly, I won't explain it. He really doesn't understand the world of tall people.
Xu Qiang and the members of the combat team cautiously gathered around. They were both awed and wary of the terrifying strength Si Cang displayed, but as part of their duty, they still bit the bullet and asked, "Senior, shall we go in and investigate the scene?"
They need to confirm whether the evil spirits have been completely eliminated and whether there are any other hidden dangers or remnants.
Si Cang nodded slightly, as a tacit agreement, without revealing his identity.
Xu Qiang and his team cautiously entered the messy basement. It could no longer be considered a basement, but rather a sinkhole, through which they could see the moon above.
After Si Cang left, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer and called Duan Anluo, "Where are you?"
Duan Anluo asked in surprise: "You really went? I thought you didn't care about me anymore."
After saying this, he realized that he was wrong and quickly explained: "I was originally attached to Yuan'er's body, but who knew I would come back so suddenly? Wait, I'll find you."
The main reason was that he hadn't expected the possession to last so short. He wasn't worried about Jiang Yuan's safety. Knowing the child was useless, he'd been giving him a layer of protection whenever he had time. So far, he'd lost count of how many layers of protection he'd left on Yuan'er. It was definitely a close call, a good opportunity for Jiang Yuan to hone his skills.
The only thing he felt embarrassed about was asking Si Cangbai to make the trip. He thought Si Cang would not go.
Hearing Duan Anluo's apology, Si Cang's anger inexplicably subsided a little, "Don't come, it's done."
Duan Anluo had already climbed up from the sofa. "It's not over yet. Without support from behind, this temple won't last this long. Without financial support, they can't buy such a large piece of land. I was thinking of demolishing the temple, but I didn't have time. Wait for me, I'll take a taxi, it's quick."
Calculating the distance, it would take two hours by taxi, which is actually not fast at all.
It would take Si Cang more than an hour to drive there. Duan Anluo shook his head secretly. Taizu and Taizong were above him, he was really a scoundrel. Why did he choose Si Cang to cause trouble? The strange thing was that even if he changed someone else, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Duan Anluo opened the drawer, looked through it, and suddenly asked with a lack of confidence: "Well, how much does it cost to take a taxi from my house to your place?"
Si Cang: “…”
There was no money left in Duan Anluo's phone, but there was still a little bit of cash in the drawer, just a little bit.
After a brief silence, Si Cang's low voice was filled with indifference: "I'm going back."
"Wait a minute!" Duan Anluo knew that the other party was about to hang up the phone in the next second, so he subconsciously called for a pause. After that, he didn't know what to say, but he also felt it would be a bit awkward if he didn't say something.
"Um, thank you."
"Is that all?" Si Cang meant that if there was nothing else, he would hang up.
Duan Anluo smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Does the pendant I gave you work?"
Si Cang paused, "Yeah."
"That's good," Duan Anluo's voice was cheerful, "I'll make a few more."
After hanging up, Si Cang's face darkened as he placed the knife in a black box and locked it. His hand rested on the box, lost in thought. He'd been furious, calling Duan Anluo to question him, but how could Duan Anluo's words have soothed his anger? Was he crazy?
At this time, Jiang Yuan ran over. He thought for a long time but couldn't think of how to address Si Cang, and he didn't dare to say anything. "Um, are you going back? Can you take me with you? The captain and the others still have a lot of things to do, and there's no one to take me back."
Si Cang said coldly: "I won't go to your house."
If it were someone else, they would have noticed that Si Cang was in a bad mood and would have avoided him. However, Jiang Yuan was not afraid of him. He looked at Si Cang as if he were a peer of Duan Anluo's generation, like his family. He asked worriedly, "Grandmother, did you have a fight with the Grandmaster?"
Si Cang saw him craning his neck to talk to him, feeling quite tired, so he patiently replied, "We didn't quarrel."
Jiang Yuan: "I heard Master said in his heart that he wants to replace you with someone more obedient. Did you make Master angry? Go back and coax him, he's easy to coax."
Si Cang: “…Ha!”
He picked up Jiang Yuan and stuffed him into the car. He wanted to see Duan Anluo change with his own eyes. If he couldn't change it and couldn't break the contract tonight, he would kill him!
