I don't have a system but I have a hammer

Chapter 17, Talisman Paper and Sword

Maybe my words are more appetizing to him, anyway, his attitude towards me was much warmer afterwards...

"Let's go, little brother, you just waited for so long, you must have not eaten yet. Although the food in the Taoist temple is clear and watery, there is no problem at all to satisfy your hunger!"

Compared with the peanuts and melon seeds in my pocket, the hot food is obviously more attractive to me, so my steps are much faster...

It had a profound impact, and there was no other reason for that meal. When the group of Taoist priests heard that I was going to the back mountain with their senior brother, they couldn't help but showed admiration, sympathy, surprise and other complicated expressions in their eyes. I pick up food, it's like...

This is my last meal?

"Brother, eat more, if you don't have enough, you still have more!"

"The layman is brave, and the poor Taoist admires him!"

"Brother said, you are the most courageous person he has ever seen!"

"Come and eat food, come, come, you're welcome!"

"... "

I began to realize that something was wrong. I thought it was just helping to move things, take weapons and other physical work, but I didn't expect that things were not as simple as I thought!

So much so that when I recall it now, I feel that the experience that night was an extremely terrifying nightmare!

Half an hour later, I finally finished worshiping the five internal organs temple where I was hungry, and then I entered the guy's room under the leadership of the little Taoist priest...

"When are we leaving?"

I glanced at the stack of peanuts on the tea table, and resisted the idea of ​​grabbing another handful...

"You don't seem to be curious at all, what are we going to do tonight?"

Haha, looking at his puzzled face, I feel relieved for a while. After all, normal people would at least ask what they are doing, right?Unfortunately, I'm not normal...

"I have encountered bad things a few times, so even if I see some dirty things now, I won't be too surprised, not to mention...I'm just helping, isn't it?"

My implication is that I will not do things that risk death, I don't want to put my life on it!

He smiled meaningfully, and then slowly opened the barrier on the side, only to see several swords of different lengths hanging on the wall behind the barrier!

"Choose one to try?"

It's a pity to say that I haven't touched a sword since I was so old, so I immediately stepped forward excitedly, and picked a black iron with a moderate length on it... hell... made of wood?

When I pulled out the blade, I was dumbfounded, it turned out to be a mahogany sword... But after thinking about it carefully, it became clear in my heart, it seems that the things to be solved tonight cannot be handled by normal weapons!

"That's it, thank you in advance!"

He nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment, then directly took out some talisman papers, handed them to me with playful eyes, and what he said next immediately made my heart tighten!

"I see that little brother, you have an extraordinary temperament, but you faintly reveal some bloody aura. Have you encountered some bad things recently, such as... human life?"

coming!

I was prepared for this guy to see through me, but I didn't expect that under such circumstances...

But then I was quick to wit, pretended to look like I couldn't bear to look back on the past, and described what I encountered in that weird school with embellishments...

"That's the way it is. When I go back, that guy's body is gone..."

Maybe this guy's vigilance is not as high as I imagined, or maybe he is more confident in his own strength, or maybe my story moved him...

All in all, he didn't continue to ask questions after listening, and the suspicious look in his eyes gradually cooled down...

"It seems that little brother, you have encountered corpses, but it is indeed rare to see so many corpses at one time. You can survive from it, and you have to say that you are also a person with great luck!"

This... is really nonsense, but I don't want to continue discussing this topic. You must know that this kind of thing can't stand chewing, otherwise it's easy to show your feet, so I hurriedly changed the topic …

"By the way, Taoist priest, what do these talisman papers you gave me mean, are they used to exorcise demons and defend the Tao?"

He smiled slightly, revealing a sense of self-satisfaction as if he was showing off his own work...

"This one is an eye-clearing talisman, which can allow you to gain some night vision ability for a short time. These two are light-weight talisman and great strength talisman. The functions are as the name suggests. The last one is very powerful. It is called the exorcism talisman. It is used in conjunction with the mahogany sword!"

That's right, it's similar to everyone's expressions now. I was also extremely surprised after hearing it. The surprise was not because of the functions of these talismans, but because of why this guy trusted me unconditionally and gave me so much favor. thing?

He's not afraid of... wait?

I made a bold assumption, could it be... this is the task given by the system?

But what do I have to be wooed by the system?

I don't have any money, I don't have any strength, and I don't have any strong backing. The other party's sudden courtship and courtship are too suspicious...

Be sure to say what I have to say...

A sense of mission doesn't count...

Then there is only one life left...

But my life is worthless...

Is it...

scapegoat!

Damn!

This guy wants me to be a scapegoat?

I don't know if it was because I flushed my face when I went to the toilet just now, my toilet suddenly opened!

Yes, yes!

I looked at the inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, as if I had touched the truth of the matter...

"That... Taoist priest, you gave me so many good things, are you not afraid that I will be bad for you? After all, we have only known each other for a few hours, is there something wrong..."

Now this guy is already a bastard in my eyes, but in order to verify my conjecture, I decided to hold back and make a cliché to see what he meant...

"Little brother, I appreciate your cautiousness, but don't worry, the reason why I trust you so much is because I see the potential in you. Do you know what the most important core competence is in our business?"

system?Nonsense, if you don’t have a system, you still dare to do this business. Now you are probably like the group of monks just now, and you have already run into the hall trembling!

"Escape?"

My answer froze the guy's smile slightly, but he hid his embarrassment with a good laugh...

"Haha, little brother is really good at joking. Kung fu is important, but what is more important is courage. Only with courage can we fight well with those monsters. And your previous experience, It just proves that you have extraordinary courage!"
