The copper gourd looks very old, the surface is full of cracks, some places have rusted, the mouth of the gourd has no cover, once looked inside, only to see a pitch black, as if a thousand years of deep pool, staring a little longer will make people dizzy.

"How did you get it?" Zeng Fu held the gourd in both hands, feeling that it was quite heavy.

"It's a long story......"

"Wait a minute, stop your bleeding first. Xin Youxun said.

Chen Guanhuo's abdomen was already soaked red with blood, and when he heard this, he hurriedly took out the pill and applied it internally and externally, but he didn't dare to look up.

The other four monks had already stopped the bleeding on their own, and hid far away at the other end of the courtyard, looking in horror at the soft Chen Guanhuo and the silver horn flashing unicorn.

Chen Guanhuo stood up and stood respectfully, like a slave who had just been disciplined.

"Let those pregnant women go first, and say that you have the wrong person or the wrong spell, and don't mention the two of us. Xin Youxun has not forgotten the true purpose of this trip.

Chen Guanhuo kept talking about it, covering his abdomen and dragging his stump to release him in person, and the monk surnamed Liao and others kept making eyes to figure out what was going on, but Chen Guanhuo ignored it.

Xin Youxun and Zeng Fu retreated to the corner of the manor, the broom turned into a donkey again, his eyes kept on the monks, and his four hooves gently trampled on the spot, it was the first time to participate in a real battle, a little excited, and a little unpleasant.

A dozen women of various sizes came out of a half-tilted house, glanced around hurriedly, and immediately ran to the gate in a panic, all frightened.

Chen Guanhuo was the last to come out and said to the two women in the distance: "I distributed silver taels and told them to go to the nearby market town for help. ”

"There is one left, you said there were fourteen pregnant women, and now there are only thirteen. Xin Youxun was not confused by the panic scene.

Chen Guanhuo's head hung lower, and he was silent, and the monk surnamed Liao on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "Brother Chen." At the beginning, a few of us admired your courage and insight, so we were willing to follow you, who thought that you were a coward, what did these two women come from, so that you became like this after a defeat? They all rely on the support of the unicorn, in fact, they have no ability......"

Chen Guanhuo bowed to the two women first, and then walked towards the four companions, "Everything I have done has a reason, please trust my judgment, if there is chaos today." Everyone is walking on thin ice, one wrong step will fall into a place of no return, you and I have no way to do it, we need to be more careful......"

The four monks nodded their heads repeatedly, thinking that these words were true, but it was too timid to admit defeat so easily.

Chen Guanhuo walked in front of the four of them, his mouth did not stop, and he suddenly cast a spell in his hand. "Whereabouts must not be revealed. ”

Before he could finish a few words, the abdomen of the four monks was pierced by a hole the size of a thumb, and there was no blood flowing, but a trace of heat came out. The faces of the four of them were full of horror and inexplicable. I couldn't believe that I had been tricked like this, Zeng Fu in the distance let out an exclamation, but Xin Youxun observed quietly.

"I'm sorry, but instead of going up and down in troubled times. It's better to die at my hands, and then again, we're not too familiar with each other. Chen Guanhuo quickly took off the pockets on the four of them. Turning to the two women, they stopped when they were twenty paces apart and put their pockets on the ground.

Behind him, four monks fell one after the other.

"Miss Zeng doesn't want to reveal her whereabouts, I don't dare to guarantee that a few of them will be able to keep their mouths shut, so I have to kill, now please Miss Zeng kill me to prevent future troubles. ”

Zeng Fu was also frightened, lifted her veil, the horror on her face was no less than that of the four monks who had just fallen, she had lived in Pangshan since she was a child, and she served the princess after leaving the Taoist system, and she had never seen a ruthless person like Chen Guanhuo, and she couldn't even imagine it.

"You, you...... I didn't say I didn't believe you, so why kill people?"

"We make a few vows every day, turn our heads and forget them, and we can only keep them secret when we die. Chen Guanhuo even summoned his magic sword and held it in his hand, saying that he would never resist, "and...... A pregnant woman unfortunately died in childbirth, and we deserve five sins. ”

Zeng shook her head, she didn't want to kill, so she had to look at Xin Youxun.

Xin Youxun has been sitting on the donkey, and said flatly: "You don't have to die, go to the South China Sea, the farther the better." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll clean up the body and leave immediately. Chen Guanhuo stared at his toes, not daring to show that he recognized Queen Smoke.

Zeng flicked her hands and feet, barely climbed on the back of a donkey, she had seen a much larger killing scene, but it was not as great as Chen Guanhuo's sudden move that made her panic, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, and she was both sympathetic and disgusted with Chen Guanhuo.

Xin Youxun pulled the donkey to the gate, stopped after a few steps, turned around and said, "The gourd is still with us." ”

Zeng Fu put the copper gourd on the back of the broom, picked it up and said, "Yes, yes, this is your thing, we don't want it...... By the way, you haven't told us how you got it. ”

Chen Guanhuo stood still and didn't move, "The five of us have all joined the Holy Rune Army before, but when we got to the front line, we all felt that this war was meaningless, and it was more like giving life to the Daoists, but the Daoists didn't have any promises, and they didn't even look at it, so they ...... We became deserters and returned to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital more than ten days ago, intending to concentrate on our cultivation. ”

The closer they were to the Daotong Tower, the richer the spells provided by the patriarch, the greater the help to the cultivation, and the five of them encountered a strange thing shortly after they returned.

"This gourd fell from the sky, more precisely it suddenly appeared in the air more than ten feet in the air, and then smashed to the ground, when it was burning, extinguished after an hour, and cooled after another hour. ”

"It's such a coincidence that it fell next to a few of you?" Zeng Fu found incredulous.

"Actually, it fell in a forest seven or eight miles away, and the four of them were practicing, and I happened to be on the sentry, and I happened to see it, so I flew over to check the situation. I think this is a bit strange, maybe this gourd is a treasure, it is not far from the imperial capital, and the Dao Tong has probably noticed it, and will send someone to take it away soon. But I guessed wrong, until the gourd cooled, and no Taoist priest appeared. I stayed there and saw the words on the gourd. ”

Zeng Fu glanced at the copper gourd, "Where did the word come from?"

"At that time, there were words that kept flashing, and after cooling, they disappeared, and I went a little late, and I didn't see the beginning, it seemed to be a practice, and the content was strange, and I couldn't practice it at all. The last few paragraphs say something else. It is claimed that a large number of Taoist souls have returned to the world and are reincarnated as babies, and the most obvious feature is that they are viviparously born with Dao roots. ”

"Nonsense, according to this, Zuo Liuying is also the reincarnation of the previous generation of Taoist priests? He has lived for more than 400 years, and he has no memory of his previous life. Zeng Fu shook his head again and again.

"Yes, yes, I didn't believe it at first, I just took the gourd away. But soon after, there were Taoist priests flying regularly around the imperial capital, and they were not looking for copper gourds, but pregnant women from all over the country. It's also illuminated by a mirror, so I think it's probably true. So we waited for the Taoist priest to return to the imperial capital and found ...... Some pregnant women want to see if they can have viviparous tracts after they give birth. ”

"Shameless!" Zeng Fu said indignantly, less regretful for the death of the four monks, "You want to take the viviparous Dao root, right?"

Chen Guanhuo's face was slightly red, "The spell of the Daotong Tower has long been unstable, and we are worried that it will stop sooner or later...... We have become accustomed to the current pace of practice, and once we slow down or stop...... In short, I'm obsessed. Listen to the instigation of a few of them......"

"Who instigates who is not certain. Zeng Fu began to feel that Chen Guanhuo was not so honest.

Chen Guanhuo bowed his head and was silent.

"Zeng Fu, return the gourd to him, the origin of this thing is unknown, we can't stay with us. Xin Youxun is wary of anything that automatically manifests words.

Zeng Fu wanted to throw the gourd over. But it was too heavy, and it was too rude to want to throw it on the ground, "Come here." Take the gourd away. Alas, how did you become the kind of person you are now? Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin also have no vision, you have to reflect on it. Don't be a bad guy anymore, it's a big deal to find a place to live in seclusion, it's a good thing that your cultivation is progressing quickly, it's not a big deal to slow down or stop, Taoist priests still have all kinds of calamities, you ......"

Chen Guanhuo walked in front of Zeng Fu, kept saying yes, reached out to catch the copper gourd, and after getting it, he breathed a sigh of relief. The action was slight, completely unintentional, and he didn't even notice it.

Xin Youxun noticed it, and not only that, but she also made a move.

She learned the lesson of the first sacrifice talisman, did not sacrifice a bunch of talismans, only used one, and waited until Chen Guanhuo came close before making a move.

The two sides were less than five steps apart.

Chen Guanhuo also learned his lesson, and kept holding the magic sword in his hand until he took the copper gourd before he relaxed his vigilance slightly, even so, he still reacted, swinging his sword to block, and at the same time jumping backwards.

With just a little distance, he can be invincible, attacking and retreating.

But he couldn't imagine how powerful this talisman was.

Xin Youxun didn't expect it, she only knew that this was the life talisman provided by Long Bin, and there were only five of them, which should have been used at the most critical moment.

With a bang, the talisman exploded, and the sky collapsed.

The two donkeys raised their front hooves and showed their original form at the same time, standing up to help their master resist the explosion, the broom had a copper bell around its neck, and the other unicorn had a talisman armor piece on its chest.

Zeng Fu felt that the bones in his whole body were broken, and he lay in the bricks for a while before he could barely get up, first check the situation of the broom, it was fine, but it was a little stunned, lying on the ground and blinking his eyes.

Zeng Fu ran forward and saw a pool of blood on the ground, Chen Guanhuo and the magic weapon were gone, leaving only the copper gourd spinning on the ground.

Xin Youxun on the opposite side also came out of the ruins, her unicorn was not as strong as a broom, her body was injured, her veil was gone, her hair was scattered, and there were blood stains on her face.

"Is it dead?" Xin Youxun didn't care about his injuries.

Zeng Fu nodded blankly, stood dumbfounded for a while before reacting, and asked angrily, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that you would let him go?"

Xin Youxun walked slowly, "This person can't be trusted, he begged you for death, deliberately didn't say that he knew me, he actually had a murderous intention in his heart, just to avoid killing the queen." ”

"That's it?"

"Also, he drew his sword in his hand, and you expressed forgiveness, but he refused to take it back, and every time he raised his eyes, he would look at the gourd, and he obviously wanted to go back, but he never spoke. If there were guards behind us, he would have been pretending to confess, and if it was confirmed that it was only the two of us, he would definitely kill people, just like he had killed those four. ”

Zeng Fu thought for a while, "Alas, when I am a Taoist priest, I have no Taoist roots, and when I am a mortal - I have no scheming, you won't sell me when you are short of money, right?"

Xin Youxun smiled, "Don't worry, I have something more valuable." ”

Zeng Fu frowned, unable to figure out whether this was ridicule or praise.

"Chen Guanhuo said that a pregnant woman died, but he didn't mention whether the baby was born, and I guess he must be hiding something. ”

"If he lies about it, I have full trust in your judgment of him. ”

Zeng Fu was about to run to the room where the pregnant woman was being held, but Xin Youxun pointed to the ground for her to see.

The copper gourd was still spinning, and there was a faint glow on it, and lines of text seemed to appear.
