Chapter 519: Invincible Pill Battle
After Mr. Song was resurrected, he always felt that the atmosphere at home was weird.
He remembered that the family atmosphere was quite harmonious before his death. How come less than half an hour after his death, he felt that there was a hidden hostility between the children?
Especially the youngest daughter, who knelt on the ground and covered her face and cried. Was she crying because she was dead? She was quite filial.
Unfortunately, no matter what, he couldn't let her marry the boy named Zhou. After all, they were siblings.
Mr. Song put his family problems aside for the time being. The most important thing at the moment was to resolve the issue of the scroll first.
His appearance was very unsightly, with blood all over his face and clothes. This was caused by his body dysfunction and vomiting blood after his soul was taken away.
"Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest!"
"Mr. Song is too polite. I wonder what the situation is with the scroll?"
Mr. Song sighed, sat on a chair and recounted past events.
"Twenty years ago, my business failed and I wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by a tree branch in mid-air and luckily survived. There was a stone platform directly below me. I jumped onto the platform and found a cave deep inside."
"Something was calling me from the depths of the cave. I was not afraid of death at the time, so I followed the sound and found that it was a scroll that was speaking. The scroll said it could help me do business and become a wealthy man, so I took it out of the cave."
"With the help of the scroll, I was able to run a business very well. Several successful investments made me a leading businessman in the county. I also got married and had children, and my family is happy and harmonious."
When Mr. Song said this, Lu Yang and the other two silently turned their heads and glanced at the Song siblings and the housekeeper.
"Will you continue?"
"In the past few months, the scroll has threatened to give me my life every night. I was so scared that I tried to drown it with water or burn it with fire, but nothing worked. Even if I threw it out to the suburbs, it would still come back home the next day!"
At this point, Mr. Song's eyes were filled with panic. These days, he had been disturbed by the scroll and was in a trance. In the past two weeks, he was often frightened awake.
Lu Yang touched his chin, this was quite new.
"Come on, take us to see the scroll."
Mr. Song led the three people in twists and turns and finally touched a mechanism in a small house. The underground passage opened and it was pitch black below.
There were many gold, silver and jewelry in the dark room, which were very precious to mortals. But to Lu Yang, even the tassel on the hilt was more valuable than these.
Among them, there was a box that was the most conspicuous. It was made of iron and wrapped in layers of talismans. Mr. Song tore open the talismans, opened the iron box, and revealed the scroll inside.
“It just dragged my soul away.”
Thinking of the scene just now, Mr. Song was still frightened. If Lu Yang hadn't taken out the resurrection pill, he would have been in great danger.
"It is true."
The closer you get to the painting, the more gloomy the atmosphere becomes.
Lu Yang opened the scroll, which contained an ink-and-wash landscape painting of a washerwoman washing clothes by the river.
Suddenly, the scroll twisted, and the washerwoman seemed to come alive, slowly turning her head to look at the people outside the painting.
"Another monk?"
Water stains seeped out of the scroll, which floated up and formed the image of a woman washing clothes in the air.
"You are the one who pulled his soul back?"
The washerwoman stared at Lu Yang with an unfriendly expression, and her pretty face seemed a little distorted.
"Monk, please don't meddle in other people's business."
Huannu felt a strong sense of threat from Lu Yang and the other two. These three were different from previous cultivators, so it would be best if she could persuade them to leave without taking any action.
The washerwoman pointed at Mr. Song and said coldly, "Twenty years ago, he promised me that if I helped him become a wealthy man, he would give me his soul. Twenty years have passed, his family is happy, his business is successful, and he is rich. It's time for him to fulfill his promise!"
"Is that true?"
Lu Yang turned his head and looked at Mr. Song. He was not surprised. Mr. Song must have concealed something in his previous statement. Otherwise, why would he help you with your business? You always have to ask for something.
The water ghost we met in Hanshui City helped people defraud insurance in order to buy salt. It was the same principle.
Mr. Song nodded in shame.
"Did you see it?" The washerwoman sneered and looked at Mr. Song with disdain.
"I made the promise willingly and without any falsehood. Now I am asking for the promise to be fulfilled. What's wrong with that?"
Lu Yang shook his head slowly and looked at the washerwoman with a sympathetic look: "Have you read the criminal law of Daxia?"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Daxia Criminal Law?"
Lu Yang raised a smile, used the invincible pill, and said, "Daxia Criminal Law stipulates that the victim's promise to others can infringe on his specific legal interests, such as the disposal of property, causing minor injuries, serious injuries, etc., but the promise to cause death is invalid."
"Of course, not all promises that result in death are invalid. In a few cases, such as life-and-death duels, promises made without coercion are valid, and your behavior is not one of those rare cases."
"If you were more studious and had studied the history of Daxia law, you would know that there were many magical weapons in history that used the promise of fulfilling wishes as bait to lure others into exchanging their lives in order to achieve the purpose of refining their souls."
"The then Minister of Justice discovered this situation and added this article to the Daxia Law to prevent you magic weapons from doing this kind of thing."
Lu Yang sighed and looked at the washerwoman with eyes that showed she was blind to law: "It seems that the popularization of the law is still not enough."
Ever since he learned that his master was often thrown into jail, Lu Yang studied law whenever he had time, trying not to follow in his master's footsteps.
It now seems that studying the law is still useful.
Most people learn a lot of laws, but when they apply them they don’t know which one to choose, and they usually get caught in a dilemma.
But Lu Yang is different. He has the Invincible Pill. Using the Invincible Pill during a fight can help him select the most appropriate laws from his mind in the shortest time.
It should be noted that the Invincible Pill cannot choose the laws that Lu Yang has not learned. After all, the victory conditions given by the Invincible Pill are based on Lu Yang’s cognition.
The Immortal Fairy looked at it in the spiritual space and marveled. As the founder of the Invincible Pill, she didn't expect that the Invincible Pill could be used in this way.
Tao Yaoye secretly sent a message to Lan Ting: "Junior Sister Lan, do you know this?"
Lan Ting shook his head blankly: "No, my sect doesn't teach this."
Both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes, and felt that there was an invisible gap between them and Senior Brother Lu.
"You have taken away Mr. Song's soul, which has violated the criminal law and constitutes attempted murder. Come with us."
The washerwoman sneered, not frightened by Lu Yang: "Don't think you are the only one who has read the criminal law. To tell you the truth, I am a magic weapon and I am not subject to the criminal law at all!"
Lu Yang raised his eyes to glance at the washerwoman and said, "Really? That's even better. Since it's an ownerless magic weapon, it doesn't matter if I break it."
Lan Ting looked strange. Why did this conversation sound so familiar? "How arrogant! You really think I'm afraid of you three little monks!"
The second update will be at 11 o'clock
