Chapter 81: Dead
End In the final analysis, Zhang Sheng and Ni Shisan have been entangled for two lives, from a young man who killed time fishing by the stream to a eloquent private detective now.
No matter how hard Ma Li collects information and tries to stir up their relationship, he still won't be able to know what happened at the age of eighteen.
That sword is the Tianming Sword of the Tu family.
It is also the only magical weapon that can cut off the plastic body of the evil god and possesses Ling Ran's righteousness.
Zhang Sheng realized that the Crime Department might have also been attacked by Ma Li and suffered heavy losses. Otherwise, how could Brother Tu lose the family heirloom left by his father during his lifetime.
They had not been in contact with Ren Annan for a while, and they said they wanted to capture the evil spirit that escaped from the magnetic storm, but there was no clue. They always felt that there must be an unknown organization behind it controlling all the strange things the office encountered. , including today.
"I thought you were going to kill me."
Ni Shisan looked pale, the two hair buns on his head were stained with blood, his hair was messy, and the dark red Tang suit he was wearing was also stained with a lot of mud.
Zhang Sheng didn't turn around, he took the girl's hand and ran towards the dark place. He couldn't tell the direction now, but he just figured out the situation for the time being. Ma Li did show up to kill Ni Shisan. .
"I can't kill you." Zhang Sheng responded hastily. He could feel Ni Shisan's hands were cold, and his steps stumbled as if it was difficult to maintain balance. He didn't see any obvious trauma, so he could only pick up the girl.
"You will kill me if you run so slowly. Lie on my back and I will take you away."
Ni Shisan was stunned for a moment, and then he was lifted up by a pair of hands, and his chin rested on a warm back. , shaking up and down, he had no choice but to stretch out his hands and hug him tightly.
The man's back was not broad, and was very thin compared to his own. The back of his neck was covered with light fluff, and he could see his beautiful jawline if he looked sideways.
Ni Shisan tightened his arms and kissed again.
"...Why don't you believe your apprentice this time? Is it really because you saw the Tianming Sword?"
When you don't believe someone, you will always find more reasons and rehearse everything you see in the direction of your worries.
Zhang Sheng finally realized this truth this time, not only because of the Tu family's magic weapon. If he questioned Ni Shisan, even if Tu Minglang himself was here, he would still think that all the troubles were caused by Ni Shisan.
Even the threatening letter that Ma Li fabricated before now has many doubts.
There was also the hostage shooting that caused him to be expelled from school. All the evidence pointed to Ni Shisan. This was too many coincidences.
If there are too many coincidences, there will be fraud.
I thought I could get rid of Ma Li and take a break to explore the center of the ghost land. He still had a bride who had not been found yet. If he lost the female ghost possessing Liu Zige, Lao Zhu would definitely not be able to live in peace.
But the environment suddenly changed, and the narrow passage suddenly turned into a cliff. They were sent back to the place where the giant python attacked, with a dead end behind them.
Zhang Sheng didn't plan to use the talisman again. He had already tried his ability to draw talismans, but it was very poor and there were too many things he wasn't sure about. Now he didn't know what dangers he would encounter while carrying Ni Shisan on his back.
He stepped on the edge of the cliff with his left foot and looked at the strange trees with branches spread out below, as well as the invisible darkness.
His throat slid up and down, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm going to jump down. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. If you don't want to, just come down."
This time he faced a dead end, so it was rare for him to say hello to Ni Shisan first.
Seeing that the lost target was back, the giant python regained its vitality. This time it targeted the thin-skinned and tender girl on the man's back and pounced on it, waving its fangs.
Ni Shisan made a few quick strokes on Zhang Sheng's back, and then said with a smile: "This is the first time that you have openly favored me. Do you not care about your disciple anymore?"
Zhang Sheng jumped up and dodged the giant python. He almost fell on the rocks next to him due to the attack. He frowned and cursed: "Do you have a damn conscience? Why is Ayao so paranoid? Isn't it all because of you?!"
No one in the Taoist temple knew. , Master Xun's favorite thing is the magic weapon that can be transformed into a human form. As the seasons pass, no matter the difficulties or the beautiful scenery, the person who accompanies Xun Baishan is always the same person.
"Lu Yao loves you, I've heard it."
Zhang Sheng kept dodging. The terrain restricted his movements, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted. But it was time-consuming to really fight the giant python here.
He raised his hand to push the girl's cold face and glanced: "Then did you hear that I really responded to him? I am the master who introduced him and taught him skills. Nothing else can ever happen to him."
Ni Shi With a smile in his mouth, San looked back at Ma Li, who was chasing Ma Li with great murderous intent, and said with hooked lips: "What about me, Zhang Sheng."
When he said this, Zhang Sheng had already used his keen eyesight to find a stone on which to stand. He rolled up his sleeves and supported the girl on his back: "From the first moment you opened your eyes in my room, I knew I was going to be pestered to death by you bastard. Since I can't get rid of you, I It can only be regarded as being bitten by a dog. Maybe one day the dog will suddenly become obedient...I jumped."
He didn't even count silently and jumped down without thinking.
When Ma Li chased him to the edge of the cliff, waved his hand to push away the layers of black fog, and saw clearly that there was no one in the rapid river below, his grief and anger reached its highest point.
The giant python became docile due to his arrival, and it seemed that it had met its owner.
...
The biting ice water submerged most of his body. Zhang Sheng flopped in the water for a few times and gradually lost strength. He used his last bit of consciousness to set up a shield, wrapping the two of them in a blue light ball.
Ni Shisan saw that the man was about to fall asleep, and remembered that Zhang Sheng was of a watery nature and couldn't stand the extremely cold environment, so his desire to punish him suddenly stopped.
"Don't sleep, we are about to reach the center of the ghost realm."
Although he could not restore his true body for the time being, he could still accurately capture the source of the evil spirit in the ghost realm. When he fell off the cliff just now, he had a premonition that Ma Li couldn't bear to kill Zhang Sheng. Therefore, there was a high possibility that it was not a dead end in the depths, so he did not stop Zhang Sheng.
He quickly drew a talisman, built a crude canoe, and headed down the current.
Zhang Sheng lay on his back and felt dizzy. He held his head and complained: "If you didn't tell me there was a river below, my brain would have been smashed into tofu the moment I entered the water..."
Ni Shisan shrugged and said, "Even Shi Yan , Aren’t you jumping too? You want to die with me so much.”
“Fuck you, I won’t die. I guess you have a back-up from the way you are not impatient. If there is really no way out, you will die when I am about to die.” You will cry."
The girl's face stiffened, and her expression of dissatisfaction was in contrast to her childish voice: "I haven't cried before, you remember it wrong."
Zhang Sheng: "You cried in the ghost cave, I remember it clearly. ”
He lowered his eyelids at the girl and snorted: "I carried you all the way, and I was still underneath to cushion you when you fell. My face still hurts... You must compensate me, and you need cash..."
Ni Shisan: ….
Zhang Sheng: "You still can't change back to your true self? I originally thought you were deliberately playing pranks and disrupting my mountain climbing just to piss me off. Who knew you really have no magic power anymore."
Ni Shisan looked at the girl's palm, and her five fingers He tightened his grip and said a few times: "The only person in this world who can restrain me, except you, is the Evil God."
"Didn't you say you can't feel the breath of the Evil God? You took over this matter and forced me to do it, no. Are you really going to die here if you just mess around with your confidence?"
Ni Shisan raised his head slightly, rubbed his left eye, and a few wisps of mist flowed in his dark red eyes: "The evil spirits in the Corridor Bridge area are the same as the giant pythons today. They all have a hint of the evil spirit, but you can't notice it unless you step into their territory. It's very hidden and a little cheap."
Zhang Sheng lay on the wooden board for a while, waiting for the sequelae of the panic to get better, then he got up and sat down. Next to the girl: "I can guess that the two cases are related, but I don't understand what you mean by concealment and cheapness."
"I'm not an evil god yet, I'm a candidate."
Ni Shisan's eyes were deep, even if he was hiding It is also easy to identify in a girl's body.
Zhang Sheng raised his eyes and asked: "You seem to have always been reluctant to tell me about your life experience, including the evil god. If you don't tell me, I can only guess, causing more misunderstandings."
"I can't remember things that are too long ago. , It’s hard to describe it clearly to you. I am a sundial created by the ancient evil god. I have the same source of power as the evil god, and I should be the master of the underworld as a matter of course. "
Thirteen...
At that moment, there was a hint of red in the eyes . A touch of sadness.
"Since you are the only sundial in the world, why would the evil god set up a candidate? Doesn't it have to be you?"
Zhang Sheng heard a sigh, squeezed out from his nose.
"Because I have lived for too long, and I have done everything I had to do. In the name of the evil god, driven by the evil god, I have never lived for myself."
Ni Shisan paused, and then said softly: "He created me God has never understood me, and I don’t know what the length of time recorded by the sundial means. Without sorrow and joy, time has no meaning.”
“I have lived so meaninglessly for tens of thousands of years. , it’s not even considered alive.”
After hearing this, Zhang Sheng could conclude that Ni Shisan had little interest in becoming the evil god, and this may be the reason why he was chosen as the only successor.
He had always thought that Ni Shisan was contradictory, appeared at odd times, and seemed full of cunning. However, after getting along with it day by day, he felt that all the evil things had their own logic.
"I admit that I have killed many people, as well as spirits and ghosts. Everything I want to eliminate will cease to exist. You have seen my true body and know that I cannot use empathy or so-called empathy like you. Good intentions are recognized by others."
How could Zhang Sheng not know that once he saw Ni Shisan's true face with his own eyes, fear would replace all emotions and occupy his brain.
"Then my master, were you the one who harmed me?"
Ni Shisan smiled and said: "The ghost exorcists who have fought for a lifetime, the only ones who can compete with me are you and him."
He even missed the time when he first came to the world. Feeling the feeling of fireworks, the more he saw the persistence of human beings, the desperate efforts to save the same kind of people, the more surprised he was.
"You are very similar to your master, but different."
Ni Shisan narrowed his eyes slightly, letting his red eyes that could penetrate the source of evil spirits rest.
"He was afraid of the evil god who was more powerful than him. He had already given up and chose to go to the shelter. But you seem to..."
Zhang Sheng leaned his back on the deck and stared at the village and bonfire not far away, interrupting Ni Shisan. The words: "He controls you, controls my apprentice, takes away my treasure, and subverts the laws of the world. I will not accept it."
It's still the same sentence, nothing can be broken or established.
As long as you can put life and death aside, stick to your true heart in desperate situations, judge evil, transfer souls, and disinfect. Then you can have God in your heart.
