Chapter 039: Ancient House Transfiguration (11)
In front of the old house.
Tao Wang raised his hand, and the humming sword began to gather power.
With this blow, the plaque will undoubtedly shatter.
Once the plaque was broken, the evil creature's spirit died, and its spiritual energy had nowhere to return, so it dissipated between heaven and earth.
If you don't accept my toast, I'll have to drink the wine for punishment. I asked you to bless me, but you still scold me, haha...
He narrowed his eyes slightly and dropped his arms.
The iron sword suddenly stabbed down.
Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out. Some people covered their ears, widened their eyes, and some couldn't help but scream.
The man in red clenched his hands, his lips turned slightly pale, but he still stood straight with no change in expression.
The iron sword was as swift as the wind, and when it was about to pierce in, it suddenly stopped, and in the blink of an eye, it changed direction and flew rapidly out of the door.
Tao Wang at the door was shocked, but fortunately he dodged in time and was not stabbed. He fell backwards to the ground and looked back in astonishment.
But he saw his sword fall steadily into the hands of a man.
The man sat in a wheelchair, holding the hilt of the sword tightly, looking at it across his eyes.
Tao Wang looked at the newcomer in disbelief: "Tao Xing, it's you!"
Tao Xing raised his eyes and said, "Second brother, long time no see."
After saying that, he turned his hand, and the iron sword broke into several pieces and was thrown to the ground like scrap iron.
Tao Wang was startled and stopped what he was about to say.
The people around also looked over in shock.
Even though the stunned people were still in a daze, they could clearly feel his powerful aura. Seeing that his expression was different from usual, this look made people inexplicably frightened and they involuntarily stepped back to make way for him.
Tao Xing smiled slightly, waved his hands, turned the wheelchair and moved forward.
Just now, the illusion in the Tao family yard made him guess that something was wrong here, so he rushed over here quickly. On the way, the wheel was about to emit sparks. 080 was puzzled: "Host, if you are in a hurry, come down and run. You can walk, why do you have to push the wheelchair?"
"You're kidding. It's downhill so the wheelchair can turn faster." Besides, his legs really hurt, but the original owner's body was in poor condition and there was nothing he could do.
"Oh, that's right." This wheelchair is expensive. If it really moves fast, it will be like a small car. It is indeed faster than a person. Anyway, the streets in this small town are narrow and bumpy, and it is not easy to drive. A wheelchair is really more convenient.
At this time, the wheelchair was turned forward, and Old Qu squeezed out from the crowd. He had already gotten used to it, and when he saw the Third Young Master, he wanted to give him a push: "Master, you are here."
Tao Xing nodded: "Push me into the door."
The crowd stepped back and his eyes fell on the man in red.
The other party was also looking over, his eyes stubborn and fierce.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward, blocking their view.
Tao Wang strode over, pushed Lao Qu away, clamped the wheelchair, and turned him to face everyone: "That sword was used by the old man. He recognized you, so he flew towards you. And it has been too long, so it is extremely fragile. It will break if it falls." He said this for everyone to hear. In fact, he didn't know how the sword was taken away and destroyed.
It shouldn't happen logically, but he just witnessed it with his own eyes. While he was convincing everyone, he was also convincing himself that the sword was indeed the old man's, and the old man loved this youngest son the most. It is said that swords are the most spiritual, so maybe he really recognizes his master.
Otherwise, how could this sickly guy easily break the sword-controlling technique he displayed?
He continued, "But today, I want to let everyone in the Tao family see the true face of you as the head of the family. You have been the weakest in the family since you were a child. You can't even stand up. How can you be able to break the seal?"
The sword is destroyed, and the person in the house can't do anything to him for a while, so it is better to deal with the person outside first. Otherwise, if he lets him in, who knows what kind of power he can get from the illusion.
He held Tao Xing's shoulders and said loudly: "There is no seal at all. You have never opened it. They all know it. Are you still unwilling to admit it?"
Tao Xing said "oh" and nodded: "I didn't say there was a seal."
Everyone was shocked.
Tao Wang was also surprised: "You admit it?"
"I admit it." Tao Xing said, "The plaque came out as soon as I took it out."
"But..." The nephews still couldn't believe it, "We couldn't move at first, but once you got the plaque, we can move."
"Maybe your legs were numb from fear." Tao Xing said frankly.
The three nephews' faces changed in shock, and their faith collapsed in an instant.
Everyone now had to believe Tao Wang's words. Even the head of the family admitted it himself. There was no seal and it was not him who lifted it. He was just lucky to find the plaque.
He doesn't have as much ability as rumored.
His position as the head of the family...is just a coincidence.
There were whispers in the crowd, some were as heartbroken as the three nephews, while others were still confused and at a loss.
"But..." Tao Xing spoke again.
The messy crowd stopped talking.
Tao Xing said: "Although I didn't remove the seal, but..." His tone suddenly became sharp, "It doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to remove it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed the shoulder of the person behind him. Before Tao Wang could react, he felt a pain in his shoulder and the person flew up into the air. With a scream of "Ah", he landed heavily on the ground and fell in front of the wheelchair.
The body that fell to the ground created a cloud of white dust, and the onlookers couldn't help but step back, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.
Tao Wang screamed in pain and stood up, but before he could get up, he felt a pain in his back. Tao Xing stepped on him, and his face was immediately pressed against the stone slab, making him unable to move.
Tao Xing stepped on him with one foot and leaned over from the wheelchair: "Have you seen my ability?"
Tao Wang bared his teeth and panted: "You...what are you doing..."
"If you can't see it clearly, then open your eyes wider and look again." Tao Xing raised his foot and kicked the man a few meters away. Then, he turned around and pressed the mottled wooden door.
The wooden door swayed gently and the door knocker made a sound, like a breeze passing through the hall. Everyone saw a flash of white light, followed by a "ding dong" sound, and an eight-diagram mirror fell from above, breaking into several pieces in an instant, and the luster disappeared.
The Great Elder said quickly: "He has cracked the 'illumination' technique."
The art of illumination made all the strange techniques in the room visible. Just now, the Great Elder was forced by Tao Wang to stick his head in to take a look, and was scolded for not being capable enough. Everyone could see clearly that the Great Elder did not know how to use this strange technique, but Tao Wang did.
Although they were the two with the highest intelligence and had been sent out to learn the Taoist methods, it was obvious that the Great Elder was not as good as Tao Wang, and might be far behind.
The Tao family members have always admired the great elder's abilities. When they saw Tao Wang today, they knew that there is always someone better.
And now, Tao Xing has easily cracked the mystery of "there is always someone better".
His ability is even better than Tao Wang!
Tao Wang couldn't get up for a while. He lay on the ground looking at the broken lens, his face full of disbelief.
Impossible, impossible, how could this sickly person...
"Haven't you seen it clearly yet?" Tao Xing straightened his collar, then stood up from the wheelchair, turned the watch on his wrist, and looked down at him.
The people on the ground were shocked again. Can he stand up?
Tao Xing's eyes swept across his face, then turned back and raised her hand in front of the ancient house.
There was a rumbling sound, like thunder or an earthquake. Sand and rocks flew everywhere, bricks and stones rustled, wood chips flew up, and dust and smoke billowed, but they did not fall down, but flew up.
The bricks, tiles and wood blocks that had just fallen were all returning, bouncing up from the ground and returning to their original positions, the roof and the wooden door.
Those traces of destruction were restored one by one.
Tao Wang's body stiffened and his mouth opened wide.
Others were also extremely shocked.
Those fallen bricks and tiles just hit the follower's head, which was actually an attack by the evil creature inside.
This Tao Xing can even break the power of evil creatures.
Although Tao Wang knew that the evil creature had a fatal weakness, it was, after all, an unnatural creature with abilities that humans could not reach, and humans had no way of dealing with these abilities.
But Tao Xing cracked it?
Too shocked, Tao Wang murmured: "I... I see it clearly."
Tao Xing looked at him and said coldly, "Did you really see it clearly?"
The man on the ground hadn't realized what this meant yet, when suddenly, he saw a shovel flying towards him automatically, as if it was tied by an invisible rope.
Before he could react, the shovel suddenly cut into his leg.
"Ah..." Screams echoed all around, and Tao Wang struggled to crawl.
The shovel did not stop. It flew out from his legs, circled, changed place, and cut again.
There was another shrill scream, and Tao Wang turned back with sweat on his forehead: "Control... the transformation of the sword control technique, you, you can also do this..."
The sword-controlling technique can control swords, so its transformed and improved version can of course also control other weapons. This method is difficult to learn. Tao Wang always thought that he was the only one who knew how to do it, and it was a skill he was proud of. He didn't expect that this person not only knew how to do it, but also knew how to improve it.
"I'm glad to know." Tao Xing moved his fingers, and the shovel flew up again and cut down heavily.
There were constant screams, and the shovel avoided the vital points every time, not wanting to take the person's life, but the crawling person was already a bloody mess.
No one around dared to help him. They all stared at Tao Xing with wide eyes.
What's the point of saying that getting the plaque was just luck, and that there was no seal at all... Does the head of the family still need to prove it by removing the seal?
Tao Wang, who was much more powerful than the great elder, was totally vulnerable in front of the patriarch and didn't even have the strength to fight back.
The three nephews whose faith had collapsed now became strong again, their faces full of excitement: "I told you, the head of the family is a hidden talent!"
Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and they all answered in unison: "Yes, that's right."
"Master!"
"Master, we were wrong. We shouldn't have doubted you..."
Amidst the flurry of apologies and greetings, Tao Xing turned around, walked over to the threshold, picked up the scarred plaque, put his arm around the man in red, and gave him the plaque.
Xianyue's body swayed a little, and there was a fishy and sweet taste in her mouth again. She leaned on his shoulder for a while, and after standing firmly, she separated from him and took the plaque.
In his hand, the marks on the plaque gradually blurred and disappeared, and soon, they were back to normal.
Afterwards, Xianyue looked at Tao Wang who was lying on the ground outside, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
He clenched the plaque, and the faint light slowly floated.
After a moment, his hands loosened and blood could not be stopped from flowing out from the corners of his mouth.
But he curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, feeling happier than before.
He wiped the blood, raised his sleeves and closed the door.
Everyone outside the door looked up curiously. Actually... they had seen the master's abilities, but it had also been proven that there was no seal. So was the insane illusion really caused by the person inside?
Is he... the god who protects everyone? If so, why does he harm people?
Just now, Tao Wang was blocking the door, and everyone's attention was drawn there. Tao Wang's words disturbed everyone's thoughts, and everyone was confused. In addition, the light inside the door was dim, and the person inside looked even more mysterious, so they didn't dare to run over to see.
But now, seeing the head of the family walk in, their fear was not so strong. Besides, Tao Wang’s slander against the head of the family might not be correct, right?
So someone plucked up the courage to look through the crack in the door.
A strange thing that has never been seen before, what does he look like?
In the flickering light and shadow, Xianyue turned his head and quietly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
The person who poked his head in opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Seeing his reaction, the others also gathered around him.
Then they opened their eyes wide.
The bright red dress, with flowing golden threads, is luxurious and graceful. And that face, like the bright moon in the clouds, the peony in the mist, is so bright and beautiful, shrouded in a thin gauze, but its elegance can be vaguely seen.
If this isn’t God, then what is!
Who is he not!
It must be God!
What illusion is harming people? They just saw it. The god took action only when he wanted to demolish the god's house. As for the two people who died before and the three nephews of the Tao family who saw ghosts, isn't it... aren't they coveting the plaque?
Those who covet God's things will certainly be punished.
The god is still kind-hearted and he spared the head of the family.
Look again, Tao Xiaowen who went in later had no covetous intentions, isn’t he doing fine now?
Everyone could no longer think of anything else, and their first reaction was to kowtow.
One person took the lead, and the others followed suit: "Please bless the gods."
They were so shocked and touched that they knelt down in a crowd.
Tao Wang, who was covered in blood, glanced at the people who were kneeling and laughed inwardly, saying, "A bunch of blind people, they just worshipped without asking any questions and regarded evil things as gods."
His legs could not move and he was sweating coldly from the pain. He didn't dare to provoke Tao Xing anymore. His sword was destroyed and he couldn't get the plaque. It was impossible for him to deal with the evil creature.
However, evil is evil.
He looked at the crowd, his eyes rolled, and he said to a person who was very close to him: "If you are so sincere, why don't you go in and worship? How can he feel it if you are outside?"
Anyone who enters this house will be affected by hallucinations. Even if you don't go crazy, you will be scared half to death. Well, since you guys are a bunch of idiots and want to treat him as a god, I might as well send you in to die. When you all come out crazy, I will let everyone see what that thing is.
If there is a large-scale madness incident, the relevant departments may take action.
Seeing the strange thing, the people who were already excited and confused blindly followed the instigation. Those who heard the words thought, yes, we should go in and let the gods see our sincerity.
He squeezed into the crowd without caring about anything, pushed open the door, jumped in, and knelt on the floor in the hall.
As one person walked in, a group of people followed. In a blink of an eye, the hall was filled with people kneeling: "Please bless us, God..."
Before Xianyue had the time to go upstairs, he was shocked to see this group of people breaking in.
The door is already closed, but these people still want to go in.
Don't know what's good for you!
Once you enter this house, don't even think about leaving normally.
He raised his finger.
But as the glimmer of light floated, it suddenly paused for no reason.
He paused unconsciously, as if something in his mind was affecting his actions.
He was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes and thought.
Clusters of snow-white flowers appeared before his eyes. An old flower seller on the overpass pulled him aside. On the crowded mountain road, a group of people surrounded him, talking in a buzzing voice. At the seaside under the setting sun, he took a photo of a family of three, and the child gave him a bouquet of small white flowers.
Xiaohua shook gently, Xianyue came back to his senses, opened his eyes, and looked at the people around him. Tao Xing was right in front of him, but he didn't say anything at this time.
Xianyue fell into deep thought again.
When it comes to praying to gods and Buddhas for money, it seems that the word "greed" is not necessary.
There is no need to use the word "hateful" either.
He would not pay attention to these pleas, but... it seemed unnecessary to let them die.
He pursed his lips, put away the faint light from his fingertips, flicked his sleeves, and his figure disappeared.
Tao Xing smiled slightly, walked to the stairs, and reminded everyone: "He's gone."
Everyone looked up in surprise, and sure enough, the god was gone. They asked in surprise, "Why did he leave?"
"Don't you like us disturbing you?" someone shouted.
Everyone suddenly came to their senses: "Yes, we really disturbed him, how did we get in?"
"Let's get out of here."
They hurried out.
Tao Wang outside looked at them in surprise as they ran out. He had been helped up by his followers. At this moment, he did not care about the pain in his body. He stopped a person to check and saw that the person was completely normal. He stopped another person, who was also normal and nothing happened to him.
He couldn't believe it. What was going on? Why were these people all fine?
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out. Perhaps he was thinking too much. He began to have a splitting headache and covered his head and closed his eyes.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the henchman beside him. His facial features were distorted to an incredible degree, and he shouted in panic: "Ghost, ghost, you are a ghost..."
"Boss, it's us." The people next to him pulled him, "We'll take you to the hospital."
"I'm not going to the hospital. You are ghosts. You want to eat me. I want to exorcise ghosts. Where's my sword? Where's my sword?" He crawled on the ground, picked up a shovel, and hit the person in front of him.
He beat several people and they all ran around in panic, all of them were injured. Life was more important than money, so no one wanted to care about him anymore and they all ran away, covering their heads.
Tao Wang fell to the ground again, his eyes wide open, and he kept muttering, "There's a ghost, a ghost... I have to find something."
He crawled forward, madly, and his figure gradually disappeared from sight. Only the murmurs still echoed: "Candle, I want to find a candle, where is the stove, I want to go find a candle..."
The people of the Tao family did not dare to disturb the gods inside. They knelt outside for a while and then left one after another.
Silence returned outside the door, and the dark house inside the door also fell into silence again.
At the stairs, a red shadow flashed by, and the disappeared Xianyue reappeared.
He landed on the ground and staggered, but Tao Xing caught him in time.
Xianyue leaned in his arms, unable to hold on any longer, and fell down.
