After participating in the metaphysical variety show, I exploded

Vincenzo stared suspiciously at the man in the wheelchair in front of him.

When he received Yan Yu's call, he suspected that the other party had made a mistake.He and Yan Yu had only met twice, the first time they passed each other in the hospital, and the second time they were filming a program at a villa in the deep mountains.No matter which time, he and Yan Yu didn't say a few words, they were just acquaintances who nodded, and they didn't even add each other on WeChat.He couldn't think of any reason for Yan Yu to meet him alone.

The waiter at Huashang Hotel restaurant served Vincenzo a glass of lemonade, bowed and then bowed respectfully.

"What do you want from me?" Vincenzo asked straight to the point, "Does Xiao Le know that you are meeting me alone? I don't want to cause any misunderstanding."

The small theater in Vincenzo's brain has already begun to stage the plot of the bloody TV series: the heroine saw the hero having dinner with her best friend in the restaurant, so she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, "Listen to my explanation", "I If you don’t listen, I won’t listen”, and the male protagonist just asked his best friend what kind of birthday gift the female protagonist would like.This kind of misunderstanding plot can't be played for three or five episodes?

Yan Yu laughed shortly. "He's lucky to have a friend like you. I'm sure he's connected with you."

"He likes good food," said Vincenzo.Heh, he already gave the answer without Yan Yu opening his mouth, as expected of him.

Yan Yu looked at him inexplicably, and handed his mobile phone to him. "Look at this first."

What Yan Yu showed Vincenzo was the chat records of Antarctic fauna.Vincenzo didn't understand what he meant at first, but after pulling the chat history from the beginning to the end, his expression changed suddenly.

"Xiao Le was attacked by Jun Xiuyan...?" He raised his eyebrows, stared at Yan Yu questioningly, and asked him if the source of the news was reliable.

"I also doubted the authenticity. But there is no need for this person to joke with me." Yan Yu said.

"Why does Jun Xiuyan..." Vincenzo said to himself.

"You know what, right?" Yan Yu asked, "The three of you often seem to get together to discuss something mysteriously."

Vincenzo wanted to ask "how did you know?", and then remembered that the entire hotel was owned by Yan Yu's family, and it was normal for the manager to report to him.

"The ignorance is the 'divine master' that Le Qinian traced, attached to Grandpa Jun Xiuyan." Vincenzo said.

"Mr. Jun Mao's death is related to this?"

Vincenzo nodded: "I originally thought that the possessed spirit had been expelled, but according to the current situation, the possessed spirit may have been transferred to Jun Xiuyan."

He leaned back in the chair, folded his hands, and frowned, lost in thought.

"Can you save Xiao Le?" Yan Yu eagerly pressed down on the table, and the water glass on the table shook.

Vincenzo raised his mobile phone: "Your friend who uses Ultraman's portrait is a little vague, although he generally understands that Le Qinian is trapped in the world in the painting - we have encountered this situation before - but specifically How she was trapped, and what happened to Jun Xiuyan, she didn't say very clearly."

"She's not a psychic, so I'm afraid she can't understand the mystery." Yan Yu said.

Vincenzo frowned even tighter: "It is difficult to take action if there is insufficient information. That Wuming is said to be very capable, and I may not be his opponent. It will definitely not work for me to go to the door to ask someone directly." Vincenzo admitted frankly I was powerless, "There is no hope of finding help. The ignorance possesses Jun Xiuyan, and he must want to use Jun Xiuyan's identity. He is now the head of the Jun family. Which Taoist person would not want to trouble the Jun family? Besides, I don't know many psychics in Huaguo, and I can't find help if I want to. The only way left is..."

Yan Yu followed his words and continued, "Sneak in secretly?"

"If your Ultraman friend can explain the location of the underground secret room and how to enter it, I can try to sneak into Jun Xiuyan's house and see if I can find the painting."

Yan Yu rested his cheeks in thought.In terms of mystical psychics, he is a layman, and Vincenzo is an expert. Of course, he should follow the advice of experts.Vincenzo's proposal was very risky, and if he was not careful, he might be exposed, and he would be charged with breaking and entering private houses, but they couldn't think of a better way for a while.

"Then please."

Vincenzo looked at his watch: "I need to go back and get some tools. Can you lend me the car?"

"Yes." Yan Yu paused, then added, "I'll go with you too."

Vincenzo wanted to refuse flatly, but Yan Yu interrupted him before he could say anything.

"I stay far away and will never hinder you."

Vincenzo hesitated to speak, but finally closed his mouth and nodded in agreement.Even if he refused Yan Yu's follow-up, Yan Yu would definitely try to follow him.Then it's better to let him go together and be an atmosphere group in the back.

Yan Yu's car was parked in the underground garage.When Vincenzo pushed Yan Yu's wheelchair out of the restaurant, two small figures suddenly rushed towards him.

"Brother Xiaowen, brother Xiaowen!" Jin Piaopiao and Jin Miaomiao rushed towards him bouncing around.

Seeing that he was walking with Yan Yu, the twins immediately restrained themselves a lot and shook hands with him politely. "Hello, Uncle Yan!"

"What are you doing here?" asked Vincenzo.

"We came to find Brother Xiao Le. We have to go back to our hometown, so we came to say goodbye to Brother Xiao Le. But no one answered his calls." Jin Piaopiao blinked, "Do you know where he is?"

Yan Yu couldn't tell the truth to the two little girls, so he could only say gently, "He's working."

"Oh." Jin Piaopiao showed a disappointed look, "Then what are you doing together?"

"...work." Yan Yu was silent for a while before replying, "I will convey your words to Xiao Le. You go back quickly."

He patted the twins on the head, and drove the wheelchair towards the VIP elevator.Vincenzo followed behind him step by step.

The twins looked at each other as they watched their figures disappear behind the elevator door.

Jin Miaomiao took out the small metal ball and put it next to her ear, her small mouth pouted.

"He lied." She whispered to her sister, "Gu Wang said that they are going to find Brother Xiaojun."

"It just so happens that we are going to say goodbye to Brother Xiaojun, so we might as well go with them." Jin Piaopiao said.

"Their attitude obviously doesn't want us to follow. Huh, once the game is over, they will look down on us kids."

"We don't have to go with them. Can't we go alone? No one stipulates that we can't go to Brother Xiaojun alone!"

"Oh!" Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Sister, you are so smart!"

Jin Piaopiao raised his head triumphantly: "Let's go! They will definitely be shocked when they see us appear!"

Yan Yu asked Steward Li to drive the car and took him and Vincenzo to a place two roads away from Jun Xiuyan's house.

Vincenzo jumped out of the car.He changed into a hoodie, covered his face with a hood and a mask, and tucked his Bible under his arm.If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that he is a foreigner.

Make it look like a secret agent on a secret mission.But he likes it.

"Lend me your coat." He said to Yan Yu.

"...what are you going to do?"

"Do you still want to save Le Qi Nian?"

Yan Yu was speechless, feeling as if he was being manipulated by a despicable villain.He took off his expensive custom-made blazer and handed it to Vincenzo.The latter touched the thickness of the suit and nodded with satisfaction.

"If I don't come out in an hour, don't wait." He said deeply, "Try to find someone else."

Yan Yu looked at him speechlessly. "Who should I call?"

"Uh, the police?" After finishing speaking, Vincenzo put his hands in his pockets, pretending to be an ordinary young man walking towards Jun's house.

Thanks to modern advanced technology, he had already seen the satellite map of Jun's house in advance.Jun's house is a Chinese-style building surrounded by walls, full of rich family style.Vincenzo walked around the fence and found a place that was not under surveillance.

After his grandfather passed away, Jun Xiuyan dismissed the family nanny, and only let the part-time workers come over twice a week to clean up.This is extremely lucky for Vincenzo.If Jun Xiuyan's family still has a nanny and servant, his behavior is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

There is a barbed wire fence on the wall. Although there is no electricity, if he jumps over rashly, it is likely to turn him from a man into a eunuch.He threw Yan Yu's coat on the wall and covered it with the barbed wire, so that he could avoid being scratched and stabbed when flipping through it.Of course, the coat will definitely be riddled with holes.But he took such a risk to save Yan Yu's boyfriend, so Yan Yu should have spent a little.

He threw the Bible over the wall first, then took two steps back, sprinted, and climbed up the wall.With the protection of the coat, he was not hurt by the iron spike.He jumped over the wall and landed lightly.

After looking around and confirming that there was no one around, he picked up the Bible, brushed off the dust on the cover, put the book in his arms, and walked along the fence to a separate building in the corner of the courtyard.

According to Yan Yu's friend who tipped the news, that building is the study, the entrance to the secret room of Jun's family.The way to open the entrance is to turn an antique on the antique shelf.

Vincenzo didn't meet anyone along the way, and it went so smoothly that he even suspected that he had been caught in some trick to invite the king into his urn.Can the secret room be so easy to enter?Will there be any traps in it?

While sneaking, he quickly drew out the tarot cards in his pocket.Undecided, quantum mechanics; science theater, theology joins in.

He skillfully cut and shuffled the cards, and then drew one of them.

"The power of righteousness?" He wondered.The card of strength is a girl caressing a beast, which often implies courage, courage, love and will.Is this what makes him go forward?

He draws a second card, this time the upright King of Wands.It represents a sincere, loyal and generous man.

Vincenzo had never seen such an odd card.He drew a third card and his eyebrows twitched.This time he drew the correct lover.The lover card not only symbolizes love, but also means that love will undergo many tests and trials.Is this card referring to the relationship between Yan Yu and Le Qinian?

Bewildered, he stuffed the tarot cards back into his pocket, and as soon as he looked up, he bumped into something elastic.

"Vincenzo, what are you doing sneaking around in my house?"

The heartbeat of the blond exorcist almost stopped at this moment.He started cursing all the saints in the sky, cursing them for not praying properly on his behalf before God, causing him to meet the person he least wanted to meet.

Standing in front of him was the current owner of the house—Jun Xiuyan.

Although his heart was turbulent, Vincenzo's face was calm and he showed a friendly smile instead.

"I'm here to find you." He was relaxed, as if he just met someone he knew while walking on the street, instead of sneaking into someone's house over the wall and being caught by the owner. "I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, so I came in by myself."

"I locked the door, how did you get in?"

"I'm an exorcist registered and certified by the Pope, just a door away." Vincenzo easily skipped the topic.

"For the sake of your being an international friend, let me forgive you once. If you come here uninvited next time, I will turn you over to the police station." Jun Xiuyan said angrily.

Jun Xiuyan in front of him looked the same as usual, with an expression as if everyone in the world owed him money.Is he really possessed?

If it is true, then the acting skills of this possessed spirit are too good.

"What's the matter with you?" Jun Xiuyan asked.

"I heard that you have a collection of paintings by the missionary Francis in your home. I would like to visit them." Vincenzo said, "After all, it is the masterpiece of my family ancestors. I, a descendant, should be qualified to see it? Of course, I won't It’s useless to read. I can also lend you the letters and notes left by Francis.”

As he said that, he patted Jun Xiuyan on the shoulder, "We are family friends after all, we should move around more."

"How many years have you been in Huaguo? The tone now is exactly the same as that of common middle-aged male relatives in our country."

"We in Italy also attach great importance to kinship."

"Then you come with me. The painting is placed in a special room. It's not convenient for me to bring outsiders in, but I can show it to you."

After speaking, Jun Xiuyan made a "follow up" gesture and walked towards the main house.

Vincenzo held down the Bible in his arms, and flipped through the bookmarked page with his fingertips.

"I'm a little hungry. Do you have food at home?" He asked in a casual tone, "Can I order a takeaway?"

"It's up to you. Let the takeaway be placed at the door. I'm still wearing mourning. It's not convenient for outsiders to come in at home."

Vincenzo took out his phone and pretended to search for nearby takeaways. "Then I'll order a pineapple pizza. What would you like to eat?"

"I don't have to."

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind hit the back of Jun Xiuyan's head with the force of thunder.

He rolled forward and nimbly dodged the strong wind, as if he had been prepared for the attack.He turned over and jumped up, staring at Vincenzo with sharp eyes.

"Are you crazy?!" he growled hoarsely.

"The possessed spirit really doesn't have the memory of the host. Thank you for being able to pretend until now." Vincenzo held the Bible in one hand and the brass cross in the other.

Jun Xiuyan didn't say a word, but met Vincenzo's eyes in silence.

After several minutes like this, he suddenly broke into a mocking smile.

"I see, did the pineapple pizza let me out?" He chuckled twice, "Jun Xiuyan didn't write this in his diary—or rather, the thing he wrote was called Zhou Ji, and it was a very vague one. Kind of. It is incomparable with his ancestors. Today's young people are indeed inferior to each other."

Vincenzo narrowed his eyes, his pupils dilated suddenly.What Yan Yu said was actually true.He thought that ignorance had been completely dissipated with Jun Mao's death, but he didn't expect that it actually attached to Jun Xiuyan.It really corresponds to the old saying in Huaguo: the disaster will last for a thousand years.

It was his ancestors who sealed the soul of ignorance back then.He wouldn't mind doing it again.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Zhaoyu squatted in the shadow of the rock, looking at Le Qinian gloomily.

"Try to climb up." Le Qinian looked up to find a foothold on the pit wall.

"You want to escape?" Zheng Zhaoyu sneered.

"Don't you want to?" Le Qinian asked back.

"Master let me come here, there must be some arrangements, why should I disobey Master?"

He looked at Le Qinian contemptuously, as if disobeying his master's order meant he didn't know what was good or bad.But Le Qinian could hear the guilt in his tone.

He has been trapped in the world in the painting for so many days, and ignorance has ignored him, no matter how stupid a person is, he can sense that something is wrong.He still keeps saying that he is loyal to ignorance, but he is afraid that he will be completely abandoned by ignorance. He has no way to escape the world in the painting except to pin his hope on ignorance.

Originally, he only needed to repeatedly brainwash himself and believe in ignorance, but the arrival of Le Qinian disrupted everything.Le Qinian is not like him, sitting at the bottom of the pit waiting to die, Le Qinian wants to escape.

When a person who has almost fallen into despair and gave up struggling, it is difficult not to feel disgusted and hostile when he sees a person who is full of hope and motivation and is doing everything possible to find a way out.

"Wuming has arrangements for you?" Le Qi snorted young, "Wuming just wants to make you into a Gu, and then take your body."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zheng Zhaoyu said hoarsely, "Master wouldn't treat me that way! He has high hopes on me and wants to train me to be his successor! No... no..."

"If you become the champion of "Who is Shaman King" according to the ignorant arrangement, that's okay. At least your body can survive. But now you are nothing. Not a champion, you have not defeated other opponents, even in the audience The popularity in my mind is not number one either. You have no use value for ignorance. He kept him here just because he was afraid that you would leak the news."

"You think I will believe your words?" Zheng Zhaoyu sneered.

"Believe it or not. Anyway, I'm leaving." Le Qinian turned around and continued to observe the pit wall.

"Where can you go? This is the world created by Master, you can't leave!"

"Since we can create this world in the painting, there must be a way to destroy it. Have you forgotten Lujiang No. [-] Middle School?"

Zheng Zhaoyu bit his lip.The Lujiang No. [-] Middle School incident ended in his disastrous defeat. After spending so much effort and effort, he was still defeated by Le Qinian.He didn't want to recall that humiliating memory at all.

Le Qinian tried to grab a protruding rock on the wall of the pit.The walls of the pit were not as difficult to climb as he had imagined, and there were prominent footholds everywhere.He is nimble, so climbing up should be no problem.

Just as he was about to continue climbing upwards, Zheng Zhaoyu behind him suddenly let out a terrified scream.

"Dead man! Skeleton!" Zheng Zhaoyu jumped out from behind the rock where he was hiding, tripped over a stone, and fell heavily into the rocks, stirring up a cloud of dust.He kicked his feet desperately, as if trying to shake off something wrapped around his feet.That thing made him unable to get up, he could only crawl towards Le Qinian with his hands and feet.

After the dust cleared, Le Qinian finally saw clearly what was entangled around Zheng Zhaoyu's ankle.

It was a rotting human hand.

It came out of the ground like a weird plant.Pieces of white maggots wriggled under the festered skin, and the flesh and blood in some places had disappeared, exposing the white bones.There are still tooth marks on the arm, which are not marks left by the bite of wild animals, but human tooth marks.

Zheng Zhaoyu finally kicked the hand away and staggered up.But the ground around his feet cracked suddenly, and another hand broke through the ground.

Then came the second, and the third...

Those damaged and rotting arms grabbed the rocks on the ground, leaving trails of blood that were almost black mucus, and then pulled his body out of the ground little by little.

Their bodies are also in dilapidated condition, like zombies.The rotten smell permeates, making people churn in their stomachs.

Le Qinian had seen a similar scene before. 700 years ago, he found Wuming's stronghold, and found a deep pit where Wuming used to refine human gu.Inside lay dozens of dilapidated corpses, eating and killing each other because of excessive hunger.

These zombies are very similar to those corpses.

Zheng Zhaoyu no longer cared about the cultivation and high hopes of his master.He grabbed Le Qinian by the back collar and tore him away. He grabbed onto the protruding rock on the pit wall and climbed up.

Perhaps because of his strong desire to survive, Le Qinian was dumbfounded at his climbing speed.A few seconds later, he climbed to the top of the pit, looked back at Le Qinian who was still at the bottom of the pit, and smiled triumphantly and mockingly.

"You just stay there!" After Zheng Zhaoyu finished speaking, he rolled onto the ground and lay down on his back, looking at the strangely colored sky, gasping for breath, and a deep laughter came out of his throat.

He didn't know what happened to the group of menacing zombies, but he escaped.Le Qinian is still below.At last, once in his life, he surpassed Le Qi Nian.Just let that guy fend off the zombies for him below.It's not impossible to lose both.

Zheng Zhaoyu calmed down and propped up his body.He has escaped from that deep pit, where should he go next?Le Qinian said that there must be a way to eliminate the world in the painting. Does that mean that there is an exit hidden somewhere in this world, just like those paintings in Lujiang No. [-] Middle School?

He looked into the distance, looking for a place similar to an exit.

Then, his eyes widened in fear.

When he stayed at the bottom of the pit, he imagined the scenery outside countless times.He had fantasized about an empty and desolate rocky land outside, and guessed that it might be a barren desert, of course, it could also be a field covered with green grass, or even a forest with lush trees...

His first fantasy was right, but only half right.

It was indeed a barren rocky place outside, but it was not empty.

As far as the eye can see, there are dilapidated corpses everywhere.

Layer upon layer, as if someone deliberately piled them here.

As if hearing someone crawling out of the pit, the corpse closest to Zheng Zhaoyu moved slightly.

Zheng Zhaoyu panicked and backed away again and again, but the ground under his feet suddenly cracked, and a hand stretched out from the ground, grabbing his ankle tightly.

The corpses got up one by one, and staggered towards him.

"Don't, don't come here!" Zheng Zhaoyu screamed.

The zombies stared at him with empty and pale eyes, and slowly approached him.

Even their vocal cords were obviously rotten, but the wind echoed with faint cries.

"I'm so hungry, brother, I'm so hungry..."

"Don't worry Xiaohuan, brother will protect you..."

"Help, let me take a bite, just one..."

The zombie jumped at Zheng Zhaoyu, bit his shoulder, and tore off a piece of flesh.

The smell of blood drifted with the wind, and more zombies were awakened by the sweet smell and stood up one after another.

They flocked towards the place where the food smelled, drowning the only living person in an instant.They bit, gnawed, sucked, scrambling to taste his flesh and blood.

Jun's house.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."

The reading of the Lord's Prayer came to an abrupt halt.Accompanied by a loud noise, Vincenzo was knocked into the air by a huge force, and fell in a parabola among the sparsely tended flowers, rolled several times, and did not stop until he hit the wall with a "bang". .

Stars flashed in his eyes, and there was no pain anywhere in his body, and all the bones seemed to be broken.He couldn't make any sound except groans.

"The exorcists registered in the Pope's state are nothing more than that."

Jun Xiuyan stepped on the broken flowers, walked up to Vincenzo, raised one foot and stepped heavily on Vincenzo's chest.

The blond exorcist coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.He was sure his ribs were broken.Jun Xiuyan kept exerting force, squeezing the air out of his lungs, and he couldn't breathe.

"The young people nowadays are indeed not as good as one generation after another."

Jun Xiuyan laughed.He was already a handsome young man, and he looked even more handsome with such a smile.If you are in college, there will definitely be many girls who are fascinated by this smile.But at this moment Vincenzo only felt creepy.

This Jun Xiuyan is scarier than any ghost in "Who is the Shaman King".

Is this the power of ignorance?

No wonder Le Qinian and him died together to barely destroy his body, and it took Jun Niyun and Francis to join forces to suppress his soul.

Vincenzo's lips moved a few times, and he spit out a few silent words.

"Ah? What are you talking about, I can't hear you!" Jun Xiuyan asked loudly as if deliberately humiliating Vincenzo.

"Get out... get out..." Vincenzo said in a breathless voice, "get out of him... get out..."

"I'm not, what can you do to me?" Jun Xiuyan grinned almost to the ear.

He raised his foot and stomped heavily on Vincenzo's chest.Vincenzo was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to resist.

"Francis, you bastard monk, have you seen it?" Jun Xiuyan stomped his foot again, his tone almost crazy, "This is your descendant! So weak, so vulnerable, worse than an ant!" Why not! You actually thought you could fight alone with me!"

Vincenzo heard the sound of broken bones moving inside him.The broken rib seemed to be inserted into the lung, causing heart-piercing pain.

What time is it now?Is it an hour?Yan Yu, hurry up and call the police!Wuming will definitely hide his body after his death, but his blood is splattered everywhere, the police should have a way to find it out, right?What is that called?Luminol reaction?

Consciousness began to gradually drift, and the pain seemed to ease.This does not mean that his injuries are healing, but that he is going to meet God soon.

Suddenly, the continuous ****-like stampede stopped.

jingle--

Crisp sound that sounds like metal hitting rock.

Vincenzo turned his head with the last bit of strength and looked in the direction of the voice.

Something shiny rolled into his field of vision.It took him a while to realize that it was a small metal ball with hollow patterns on the surface, which was extremely delicate and beautiful.

...that is...flying and misty...a small ball pretending to be a Gu king...

Jun Xiuyan narrowed his eyes, made a "cut", and stepped on the ball.

He wanted to squash the ball flat, but the moment he stepped on the ball, there was a loud noise inside the ball.

Like something exploded.

Jun Xiuyan was ejected with great force.He adjusted his posture in the air in time, landed on one body, and slid backwards for a long time before stabilizing his body.

The thing that exploded was the small metal ball.Dust and smoke from the explosion enveloped Vincenzo's body.Jun Xiuyan couldn't see the situation over there for a while, but could only hear a rustling sound, like many feet moving on the ground.

Sooner or later, two small figures rushed from the direction of the main entrance.

"Brother Xiaowen, we are here to save you!"

The smoke and dust dissipated, and what appeared in front of him was a black scorpion.The carapace on its body is glowing with wonderful brilliant colors, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "colorful black". The tail hangs high, and the poisonous needle at the tip of the tail reflects the dazzling light.

Black scorpion - that is the Gu king refined by the twins according to the ancient method passed down from generation to generation by the Miao village Gu masters.

Different from ordinary scorpions, that black scorpion was bigger than a Wuling Hongguang.

The twins jumped onto the back of the black scorpion like two healthy little rabbits.Jin Piaopiao stepped on the head of the black scorpion, while Jin Miaomiao lowered her body.

"Brother Xiaojun, although I don't know what's going on with you, you are not allowed to bully Brother Xiaowen!" Jin Piaopiao said proudly.

Vincenzo, who was lying at the foot of the wall, spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned at the same time.

It turns out that Tarot cards never lie.

——The first card, Strength, The Maiden and the Beast.
