Last second, before the octopedal bugs from the darkest depths attacked like a black tide, I slamd the door shut.
It was spiders, all of them deadly Spider Gu.
As I locked the door, I felt a chilling air behind .
A self-mocking smile ford at the corner of my lips, indeed proving the old saying true, "stick your nose into others' business and you'll invite trouble for yourself."
Yet, I didn't turn around to counterattack imdiately, rely calmly placed a few protective Spirit Talismans on the door, and coupled them with incantations and Hand Seals to fortify them, "Use Townsphere Vajra to cure diseases, subdue monsters, and transform them into auspiciousness, act swiftly as the law commands."
"Is Snake Lord turning green? The lady has invited a man into her house, a single man and woman alone together," uttered a coquettishly from behind.
Another snake mocked, "The lady saved him, yet this man is ready to draw his knife to kill her, a thankless wretch. Even if the lady were to steal a man, she wouldn't blind herself by picking soone like him—"
What do you an I'm stealing a man?
And Snake Lord turning green...
These little snakes start gossiping, and they don't have a door on their mouths.
Supporting my forehead, I turned around, "Master Yang, how... how did you end up like this?"
The Master Yang in front of
was left with only one arm, his head hanging low.
His body was covered with snakes, rendering him unable to move.
In the hand of his remaining arm, he clenched a sharp steel knife.
If it weren't for the snakes that bound him, I believed Master Yang would have successfully stabbed
in the back just now.
The human heart is unpredictable, full of twisting clouds and layers of defense.
Yet, I could fully trust my back to the snakes, they themselves would block the sharp knives directed at , leaving no chance for anyone to harm .
"Su Wan... don't bla
for being ruthless, I was forced," Master Yang slowly raised his head, this was the first ti I saw his face tonight, as he had always been looking down before.
At that mont, my heart felt as if it was hanging upside down,
I took a small step back as I saw a spider-shaped mark covering his entire face.
Dark red corrupt blood dripped continuously from his injured arm.
Master Yang gripped the steel knife tightly, his hand's bones and veins bulging, "My family... and my own life, they are all controlled by those people."
He seed to have fallen into a state of desperate madness, completely entangled by so many snakes, yet without a trace of surprise or fear.
His eyes were blood-red, staring straight at .
"Are you poisoned by Gu?" Observing him, I found his skin seed normal, but beneath it, one could barely distinguish round bugs writhing if careful enough.
Those without the Spiritual Eye could never notice such details.
Master Yang said, "My whole family is poisoned by Gu."
"Do you have any coins? The kind that are tallic," I paused for a second.
Master Yang appeared stunned, "These days everyone uses online paynts, most people don't carry cash, let alone coins."
Ancient demon-subduing practices made good use of Five Emperor coins.
They were coins issued during the five great prosperous eras of ancient tis, theoretically stringed together as five pieces.
In reality, Taoists who road the lands were often poor, and it was quite good to have even one.
In those tis, it was considered the foremost prosperous era from ancient to modern tis.
In reality, the current coin with a chrysanthemum patterned one yuan Steel Coin holds the strongest Demon-Breaking Power.
The power of my hairpin was too pure and overwhelming for an ordinary person to bear.
Thus, I ran to the cashier, "Wait here, I'll get the money."
Chen Decheng and Chen Shufen trusted
greatly, with both the key and the password to the cashier with .
Opening the cash register, there was still a good amount of uncollected cash inside.
I only took one, one yuan coin, and ran back to Master Yang, seeing that he was still bound by snakes, I commanded the swarm, "All of you, back off."
