You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 279 “Gift”

The roads in Kyoto are wide and long, with few trees on the sides, so one can only find earthen slopes for shelter.

There were three people hiding behind the slope, two men and one woman.

The two men were wearing coarse clothes and turbans, like ordinary townspeople in the city; the woman was wearing gauze, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin on her chest, which attracted attention.

She is pretty, has an oval face, and is not very old. She must be an Oiran. If she were in a brothel, she would be someone who would attract young men to pay her a large sum of money.

But at this moment, the woman looked drowsy, her head kept nodding, and it looked like she was about to fall to the ground and fall asleep.

"Didn't you sleep last night? And you spent the whole night with that weird guy? You're so sleepy now."

The older man scolded the woman, and the woman mumbled and mumbled:
"A wealthy scholar came to see me last night. He gave me some strong medicine and tortured me all night. Now my bones are almost falling apart."

The man was very angry:

"Our mission today is to harm King Wei! If you are so sleepy, I won't take you with me if you run away."

After hearing this, the woman finally seemed to wake up a little, shaking her head like a rattle:
"That won't do. If I stay here, I'm afraid I'll be chopped into pieces."

"Then cheer up and use the energy you have to seduce men instead of just lying there."

The woman patted her cheeks and tried to cheer herself up.

The middle-aged man took out a wooden fish from his arms, and the younger one took out a rattle.

The last one was the woman. She rummaged around her chest and pulled out a human skin mask as thin as a silkworm's wing, then put it on her face.

Her face changed immediately and she turned into a soldier in armor.

"Then I'll go over first." Even the voice turned into a refreshing male voice, and the woman trotted towards the street.

"Brother, is it possible? This time we are dealing with King Wei." The young man was a little nervous.

"Why can't we do it?" The middle-aged man spat, "It's not like we haven't done it to adults before. Even if we can't kill him, we can at least make him feel uncomfortable for a while. We just can't get the whole reward."

He didn't seem so confident when he said this.

The main thing is that their abilities aren’t actually that great.

These three are famous sorcerers in Kyoto. The reason for their fame is not because of how good they are at fighting, but because they are good at running.

After all, there are many masters in Kyoto, and there are many ways to remove black magic. Often, the black magic master will work hard to use a black magic that can kill people, but in the end the target will only be left with a cold. The black magic master will also be traced back, and if he is caught, his life will be in danger.

The three of them understood the situation, so they simply studied and practiced escape techniques diligently, and would never show up in person if possible. It was because of this cautiousness that they managed to survive after many years of operation.

Nine out of ten people who worked in this profession died, so the three of them who were still alive naturally became the most famous.

But today is a little different.

Ordinary black magic requires a person's life and the corresponding eight characters, but the prince's fate is also enshrined in the ancestral temple in Kyoto. If any black magician is so blind that he dares to curse the prince based on the eight characters, he will surely be attacked by the dragon veins and die before he can achieve his goal.

Therefore,
At least one of them had to "see" Li Ji.

This important task fell on the shoulders of the red-light district ladies.

She is good at the art of transformation and has mastered the ability of mirror flowers and water moons. As long as she can see Li Ji, the two people here will strike the wooden fish and shake the bells.

The defenseless country man who fell into the black magic carefully prepared by the two of them would vomit blood within three days, and finally his whole body would fester and turn into a pool of thick water.

Even if King Wei has a life-saving treasure, he will definitely feel uncomfortable for a while.

Seeing that everything was ready, the middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow his saliva?

Yesterday, he went to Miaoli Pavilion to receive a murder mission. He touched the reception maid first, and then saw such a sensational list, which frightened him to death.

During all these years in Kyoto, he had killed wealthy businessmen and officials, but this was the first time he had seen someone kill a feudal lord!
But the owner of this order was very powerful. Not only could he point out which path King Wei would take, but he also promised to give him a large sum of money even if he failed. The greed in his heart was like an itch in the feathers, and he really couldn't help but accepted the order.

Do your best and then go back to collect your reward.

Keep your mind focused, wait for the signal, and be ready at all times.

……

The journey to Kyoto takes three days in total, and we had nothing to do and chatted about everything.

After chatting and laughing in the car for a while, Zuo Chen suddenly felt something. He lifted the curtain on the car, stuck his head out and looked in the direction of the earth slope outside, with a playful smile on his face:
"King Wei, it seems that Kyoto really welcomes you and me."

"What do you mean?" Li Ji also followed Zuo Chen's gaze and looked outside.

He didn't see anything, but he felt that the weather was a little cloudy and it seemed like it was going to rain.

Suddenly, I saw a soldier in armor walking alone at the end of the road not far away.

"This person?"

"Thieves."

"understood."

Li Ji waved his hand and asked the soldiers to get ready.

I saw the "soldier" in the distance coming over and kneeling on one knee:

"Your Majesty, I am from the Imperial Guards of Kyoto, and I have come to greet you."

The soldier half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and hid the cold sweat under the mask.

This prostitute was quite confident in her ability to hide her appearance and did not think she would be exposed.

It's unrealistic to say that I'm not nervous with so many soldiers surrounding me.

And for some reason, her head was still dizzy, half asleep and half awake, and it was difficult to concentrate.

It seemed that the strange guest from yesterday was fond of carrying her on his back. He tossed her around on his back for a long time. When she came to her senses, she felt her back was numb and tingling.

She could only force herself to be alert, slightly raised her eyes, and waited for Li Ji to come out of the sedan. However, she did not notice that all the soldiers looked at her with strange expressions.

It's like looking at a fool.

"What does this thief intend to do?" Li Ji asked Zuo Chen.

"She has the magic of reflecting flowers in the mirror. I think she wants to use herself as a medium to cast a spell on anyone who sees her." Zuo Chen said: "There are still two evil spirits behind the earth slope. They should be her accomplices."

"As soon as I entered Kyoto, a stupid thief wanted to cast a curse on me. It's really interesting." Li Ji sneered, "I guess I can't get any information out of him even if I catch him alive. I will just send my men to kill them."

"Why bother? Just let them reap what they sow."

Zuo Chen chuckled and stretched out his hand to grab something.

It is the method of "borrowing auspicious words".

To those whose "auspicious words are borrowed", all their magic prescriptions will be returned.

Is Xiafangzi harming people?
This will hurt others and eventually hurt yourself.

"King Wei just needs to show up in front of this person."

Zuo Chen smiled.

After hearing what Zuo Chen said, Li Ji was also confused. He didn't know what Zuo Chen was going to do.
But thinking that the Taoist priest would definitely not harm him, Li Ji leaned out of the carriage and glanced at the "soldiers" outside.

When the prostitute saw Li Ji's face, she was overjoyed and began to activate her Taoism with her Dantian as her center.

Invisible waves centered on her and surged outward like a wave.

The two people behind the earthen slope in the distance were moved and immediately took action, beating the wooden fish and ringing the bell.

Wisps of evil light emanated from the two objects, and just getting close to them could make people feel cold all over.

An evil yet holy voice sounded beside the two of them, like it came from a Buddhist temple, or even from a ghost town.

Strike the wooden fish three times, shake the bell three times, and the evil light will become stronger.

The black magic has been established, they just need to stop and evacuate.

But when the two men were about to move, they found that their bodies were out of control and they were still ringing the bell and beating the wooden fish and could not stop at all.

"this?"

Backlash of head-dropping? !
The black magic we used to suppress our enemies actually turned around and came back?

His eyes widened and he felt panic.

Even if they reacted, they no longer had a chance of recovery. They could only watch their bodies melt away at a speed visible to the naked eye, like scorching spring snow.

When the bell and wooden fish were struck for the fourth time, their skin had completely melted, revealing the flesh and blood hidden beneath the skin.

The fifth time, their flesh, blood and internal organs turned into a pool of mud and fell to the ground.

The sixth time, even the bones turned into thick water and smashed to the ground.

In the end, only the wooden fish and the bell were left, helplessly falling on the ground in the pus and blood, lying quietly.

The woman who was casting magic on Li Ji suddenly felt an indescribable foul smell coming from the front, rushing straight into her head. She didn't even remember to speak, she rolled her eyes, fainted, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The human skin mask on her face also fell off with the wind, and her figure dissipated like mist, turning into the appearance of a prostitute again.

He actually stopped breathing and died.

Li Ji was amazed.

From his point of view, he just showed his face, and the opponent died suddenly.

The Taoist priest's ability is truly miraculous.

He called the soldier pulling the carriage and asked him to go and see if the sorcerers had left behind any evil objects. The soldier immediately changed horses and rushed over. It didn't take long before they reached the back of the slope and saw a bloodstain on the ground.

It was a miserable death.

"You'll suffer the consequences if you do evil." The soldier spat at the dirty blood.

He dismounted, drew his sword, aimed at the wooden fish and bell on the ground and slashed with the sword twice, destroying the two evil objects on the spot.

After returning to the convoy, he reported to Li Ji, who nodded with satisfaction.

It is better for such evil people who use magic to harm others to die.

"This corpse..."

Li Ji looked at the only woman left.

The other person was lying on the ground with a peaceful look on his face, as if he was asleep.

suddenly,

The woman, who had already died, moved her fingers.

She actually stood up without any support relying only on her legs and ankles!
The sudden situation frightened the surrounding soldiers. They picked up their weapons and surrounded the woman, but she was not panicked at all. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Chen:

"Master, someone asked me to give you a gift."

The woman seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. She slowly turned around, turned her back to Zuo Chen, and took off her coat.

Her back was exposed to the air, and only then did the people around her realize that her back, which was supposed to be flawless, had been carved with a line of words with a knife:

"Welcome to the True Lord."
