Chapter 043
The trembling little flame was moving a little slowly, and Shisiniang wanted to blow on it to make it fly faster.
Ye Qi and Xuan Tan were surprised. In their opinion, Cheng Hui was a very reliable person. Anything he could use as a trump card must not be so simple.
This is indeed the case.
The small flame seemed harmless, but the ghosts who could only act on instinct unexpectedly began to hide back.
Ye Qi and Xuan Tan were both experienced people. Seeing this, they immediately realized that the power of the flame must be considerable. The two of them worked together to stop all the ghosts for a short while.
These few seconds were enough time for the small flame to fly into the ghost.
When the first ghost touched the small flame, its entire body exploded, and countless tiny flames flew in all directions, igniting other ghosts.
Cheng Hui was stunned. In the past, the small flames had only targeted individuals. He had worried about having to spit fire over and over again. He hadn't expected this Red Lotus Karma Fire to be so extraordinary, it could even attack a group.
"What a domineering flame!" Ye Qi exclaimed.
As the flames exploded, the remaining ghosts began to scream, and some of them exploded again, igniting more evil things.
The speed of these exploding flames was extremely fast. Ye Qi was originally standing in the front, and was splashed with a spark. His face suddenly changed. He had seen the power of this flame, and he was not sure if he could escape if he was touched.
But to his surprise, the sparks quickly went out when they fell on him, which was the opposite of the reaction of those ghosts and evil spirits.
The effect of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is amazing.
Those ghosts could not escape the red lotus fire at all and were soon burned into a large ball, including Mrs. Xie.
"Amitabha..." Master Xuan Tan put his hands together and silently recited scriptures for salvation.
Shisiniang looked at the huge ball of fire curiously. It was very close, but it did not emit any heat.
"What is this?" She tried to touch it with her hand, but found that the flames would not hurt her. Instead, they were like soft silk, which felt very good to the touch.
Cheng Hui's mouth twitched as he watched her stroking the flame as if she was stroking a furry little animal.
Is this girl any good? She dares to touch this flame without knowing the details? Just because it didn't hurt Ye Qi doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Didn't you see those ghosts still screaming?
Cheng Hui did not answer Shisiniang's question, and Shisiniang was not angry when she didn't get an answer. Many demon hunters have their own trump cards, so just ask them. Those who can say it will say it, and no one who can't say it will embarrass themselves.
The red lotus fire quickly burned all the ghosts, including Mrs. Xie, into ashes, leaving only a bead in its place.
Cheng Hui stepped forward and picked up the bead. It was a little smaller than the one Miss Xie had just given him, and the mist inside the bead was a little turbid, but... it was better than nothing. Don't be too picky about something that is given for free.
At this moment, Cheng Hui suddenly noticed that he seemed to have caught a glimpse of something flashing out of the corner of his eye. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a small dot of light.
A light bulb went off in his head, and he said in an imperceptible voice, "Xiao Tong?"
A light screen suddenly popped up in front of him. The task on the screen was half completed, and the only thing left was to find Li Ying.
Cheng Hui: ? Does this mean we've found the manor's secret? It feels like it was solved in a rather confusing way.
Xiao Tong ran out from outside the screen wearing that little shirt and shorts, pushing the small ladder in his hand and holding the blackboard eraser in his hand. He climbed to the line of words about the main task and silently erased the first half.
"So...how did I complete this mission?" he asked puzzledly.
Xiao Tong looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he asked such a stupid question.
Seeing that he was really confused, he scratched his head, thought about it, and then ran back outside the screen in a hurry, changing his clothes.
This time, he was wearing a black robe and a white mask on his face. He made some indistinct snoring sounds, and then he lifted up his robe to reveal the tight clothes underneath.
"Pooh!" He made a "Pooh" sound and spit out a small spark from his mouth. While waiting for the small spark to fly, he quickly put on his black robe. When the small spark fell on his body, he struggled and fell to the ground.
After the little man in the black robe 'died', he took off the black robe and stood up, cheering excitedly, and finally pointed at the erased task.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched him painstakingly restore the ghost town where he killed all those ghosts.
"So... killing those ghosts will be enough to reveal the secret of the manor?"
Xiao Tong held his chin and thought for a while, then nodded vigorously.
Cheng Hui felt speechless. He thought it was a puzzle game, but it turned out to be a killing game.
Does finding out the secret mean just killing all the enemies?
Xiaotong nodded even harder.
"It seems that I am not needed in this case. Can we just find some chosen one to complete it?" Cheng Hui was suspicious.
When Xiao Tong heard this, he immediately showed a look of disgust and even spat, leaving Cheng Hui confused.
Later, after Xiao Tong's demonstration, he finally understood that the so-called child of destiny did exist. However, the way of heaven could only give birth to the child of destiny. It was hard to say what kind of influence the child of destiny would receive after birth and what he would look like.
It's unlucky for Heaven to go through so much hardship to give birth to a child of destiny, but the child always goes against Heaven's will. Who can tolerate this?
The most terrifying thing is that because they have extremely good luck, they have actually succeeded in defying the will of heaven on several occasions.
The Heavenly Dao of each world is equivalent to the consciousness of this world. If the Heavenly Dao is destroyed, can this world still be good?
Therefore, most of those sons of destiny who succeeded in defying the will of heaven did not have a good ending. Even if one of them was lucky enough to escape from that world, he would basically be marked with a special mark, and when he entered other worlds in the future, he would definitely be made trouble by the local heaven.
Precisely because there have been so many lessons learned, Tiandao is particularly cautious when nurturing the Child of Destiny, and instead cooperates more with serious systems like Xiaotong.
Cheng Hui: ...Anyway, I’m just a cheap and useful tool, right?
Okay... I'll just be a tool, I won't suffer any loss anyway.
By the time Cheng Hui finished explaining and communicating with Xiao Tong, they had already arrived at the exit of the passage.
The exit of the passage was hidden in a well. They climbed up the wall of the well and appeared in the courtyard of the west yard.
Just now in the passage, they killed a few ghosts and monsters. On the way, they also saw a limp human skin. It was the old Taoist priest who was used as a tool by Mrs. Xie.
Ye Qi checked and confirmed that it was a human skin that had been refined. Usually, ghosts could hide their breath well in it, so they did not discover it.
Ye Qi casually burned the human skin. It was better to burn it than to keep it, so that it would not be used by other ghosts. I think the owner of this human skin should be comforted in his netherworld.
After dealing with Miss Xie and Madam Xie, the force that sealed off the manor disappeared. They could have left, but no one took action.
The four of them looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
The manor's problems seemed to be solved, but there was still a man named Meng Lang at large. If he wasn't dealt with, who knew how many more innocent women would die.
"That Meng Lang's strength is very weak." Ye Qi suddenly said, "He is far inferior to the Dacheng Meng Lang recorded in the classics."
When Ye Qi was fighting against Meng Lang, he felt something was not right. Meng Lang was too weak and gave him the feeling that he was only slightly stronger than those ghosts.
"That's even better. No matter what made him so weak, as the saying goes, we should strike while he's sick. Let's find him and get rid of him as soon as possible." Cheng Hui said.
"Where do you think he will hide?" Master Xuan Tan asked with a smile.
Cheng Hui and Shisiniang looked at each other and said in unison: "Well!"
"I also guessed so." Xuan Tan stroked his beard.
There are three wells in the entire manor. The first one they entered was Miss Xie’s lair, the other was where Mrs. Xie was hiding, and the remaining one was naturally the location of Meng Lang, who cooperated with Mrs. Xie.
Several people hurried to the last well. This time, Ye Qi and Xuan Tan did not conserve their strength and directly bombarded it with magic spells.
The manor, which had already lost the protection of the evil god's magic power, was pitifully fragile, and the well was almost collapsed by the explosion.
"Damn it! Are you guys looking for death?!"
Meng Lang finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out of the well, and looked at them angrily.
"I was originally planning to let you go, but you insisted on seeking death. So don't blame me for being ruthless!" Meng Lang said angrily.
Ye Qi and Xuan Tan were unmoved. Cheng Hui and Shisiniang also learned from Ye Qi that this Meng Lang was just a showpiece, a paper tiger that would burst with a single poke.
Seeing that these people looked confident and none of them were afraid of him, Meng Lang suddenly felt embarrassed.
He couldn't win in a fight. He had fought Ye Qi Xuan Tan before and ended up in a draw. Now there were two more people involved. Who knew what tricks they had.
If fighting is not an option, then we can only try to resolve the issue through negotiation.
Meng Lang put away his fierce attitude and said with a gentle face, "Actually... I personally don't really like fighting and killing. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to have a peaceful chat?"
Shisiniang burst out laughing. This dream lover was too realistic, and he gave in too quickly.
Ye Qi and Xuan Tan looked indifferent. There are all kinds of demons, good and bad, honest and cunning. It is normal for Meng Lang to give in.
Seeing that the two bosses had no intention of speaking, Cheng Hui thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
Seeing someone taking up the conversation, Meng Lang quickly said enthusiastically, "Actually, I'm... no, I'm a demon that's easy to satisfy. As long as you leave..."
Seeing that they were unmoved, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Or let me go, and we can live in peace."
Cheng Hui chuckled, "What are you dreaming of? I can't let you go. Only by confessing can you possibly live a little longer. As for how long you can live, it depends on the value of what you confess."
Meng Lang's face changed. This seemed like they were trying to squeeze him dry and then kill him.
That’s right, Cheng Hui thought so. Even though Meng Lang looked quite enthusiastic at the moment, he didn’t forget that Meng Lang’s ability to cultivate to this point was at the cost of the lives of countless young girls. He wanted to leave after confessing his sins?
Three words: Impossible!
