Seven Evil Slips Chapter 28:
Luo Ren didn't sleep.
I couldn't sleep, I kept lying down thinking about things, after I "quit doing it", the biggest change was to turn from offense to defense, but as the old saying goes, the best defense is to attack.
Sounds like a paradox, just like the yin and yang Pisces, if you can't go to extremes, you will come back to life, and you can return to life when you are desperate.
He gently closed his eyes.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, someone came out, footsteps dragging, hesitant, without turning on the light, all the way to his side, with a strong smell of alcohol, squatting on the edge of the sofa, breathing suddenly and slowly, as if Staring at him.
I wanted to pretend to be asleep, but after waiting and waiting, the man didn't move or leave.
Luo Ren lost his patience, suddenly turned over and sat up, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Fatty Cao, are you looking for death?"
Although he didn't open his eyes the whole time, there were only a few people living in the room. Based on the sound of footsteps and breathing rate, he had long guessed it was him.
In the darkness, Cao Yanhua squatted on the edge of the sofa with his head up, his mouth half-opened, and his small eyes focused on the light.
Luo Ren pressed the switch of the standing light beside the sofa, and the faint yellow light illuminated most of the sofa, and also illuminated Cao Yanhua's bewildered face.
Afraid of disturbing others, Luo Ren lowered his voice and asked him: "What the **** are you doing?"
He answered slowly: "Brother Luo, I have something to do with you."
Is this Pin Ting's upper body? Luo Ren made him scream with goosebumps: "What's the matter?"
Cao Yanhua raised a finger to his lips: "Hush!"
"Don't be noisy, I forgot when I got here, didn't you see that I was thinking."
Luo Ren came to his senses, he has not sobered up yet?
Originally, I thought that compared with 13,000 and Yan Hongsha, Cao Yanhua was the most reassuring one to be drunk, but now I know that Chunlan and Qiuju are good at winning games, and those who get drunk and go crazy have their own merits.
Luo Ren lay down angrily.
Said: "Then you think about it slowly."
After a pause, he added: "Don't look at me."
Cao Yanhua squatted on the spot, slowly moved his feet and turned around, facing him with the back of his head and his generous back, and said, "Brother Luo, we are not ugly, why are we afraid of people looking at us?"
Is this a compliment? The boaster wanted to cry, Luo Ren covered his eyes with his hands, he couldn't laugh or cry, he was almost laughing, and reached out to turn off the light.
Not long after he closed his eyes, the hot breath with the smell of alcohol sprayed on his face again, and a pair of fleshy arms hugged his arms.
Damn it, he kicked his nose on his face, Luo Ren's fists slowly clenched, and he was about to give him a good beating——
"Brother Luo, I saw who the seventh evil stick is on."
Luo Ren froze for a second or two and asked him, "Who?"
Cao Yanhua grinned, two rows of white teeth in the darkness: "Guess!"
Luo Ren gritted his teeth, paused and smiled: "Fatty Cao, you asked for it."
The next second, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Cao Yanhua by the collar and dragged him to the bathroom. Hey, I killed someone, does anyone care, someone is going to kill someone!"
He was howling, and was dragged by Luo Ren all the way into the bathroom, his head was pressed on the sink, his face was pressed against the cold marble, he saw the curved sink, the faucet was turned to the maximum, and the rushing water column was directed at the bottom of the sink, The jumping water droplets jumped onto his face in twos and threes, chilling.
The energetic Cao Jiefang excitedly took small steps at the door of the bathroom, as if he saw a great excitement, the headlights in the living room were turned on, and after a while, Kiyo appeared at the door in clothes.
Third Wan and Yan Hongsha were dead drunk, and she was probably the only one who could be woken up.
"What happened to Cao Fatty?"
Luo Ren said: "It's okay, you go back and rest, I'll sober him up."
How to sober up? Push your head into the water? Kiyo was a little worried, so he came over and turned off the faucet, took a towel to soak in water, wrung out the fold again, and said, "Don't use the Philippine sobering method against your own people, Cao Pangpang woke up, I should be mad at you. "
Little girl, like a nagging little daughter-in-law, but also like a good wife and mother who protects the calf, Luo Ren let go, and it was very useful: "I scare him."
Half of Cao Yanhua's face was still pressed against the sink, but he didn't move his body. Mudai pulled him up: "Come on, Fatty Cao, wipe your face."
Cao Yanhua stared at her.
Kiyo said: "Are you drunk and stupid? Get up and wipe your face."
Cao Yanhua's pupils shrank slowly, as if remembering something, the next second, he screamed and pushed Kiyo away fiercely, roaring: "It's you!"
There was water on the ground and it was slippery. Kiyo was caught off guard and fell to the ground. His back hit the edge of the toilet. The pain was so painful that he almost shed tears. Flying towards her, Cao Yanhua splashed water from the water platform on her: "It's you!"
Kiyo hugged his head to hide, and heard Luo Ren roar: "You are crazy!"
He pulled Cao Yanhua over, pushed him to sit in the bathtub, took off the shower head, tied Cao Yanhua's hands around the spout, pulled off the shower curtain, and tied his ankles tightly.
While hugging Mudai, she gasped in pain and could only hug instead of hugging. Seeing that a farce of sobering up turned into an accident, Cao Jiefang, who stretched his neck to watch the excitement, thumped in shock, while Cao Yanhua lay down on the bed In the bathtub, hands and feet were bound, desperately trying to sit up, like a struggling bug.
Luo Ren was angry: "You sober me up here, and you are not allowed to come out until dawn."
He helped Mudai to the door, reached out and knocked out the light in the bathroom, and when he closed the door, Cao Yanhua roared: "It's her, I saw the fierce slip on her body, and the seventh fierce slip is on her body!"
Luo Ren's hand froze, and then he closed the door.
Across the door, Cao Yanhua's cry immediately became much quieter, Muyo stood still, Luo Ren lowered his head and asked her: "Does it hurt?"
***
The pajamas were lifted up, her waist and back were bruised, her skin was white, and her wounds were bruised and bruised, especially obvious. Luo Ren was so distressed that he asked her to lie down on the sofa and sprayed it with medicine mist. She rubs.
Muyo was sullen and said, "Did you hear Cao Pangpang's words?"
Luo Ren laughed: "He was drunk and talking nonsense. The seventh evil slip may be on anyone, but it will not be on us - didn't the silk script say that we can avoid the damage of the evil slip's possession, It will not be controlled by the mind."
Kiyo whispered: "I think so too. But Luo Xiaodao, I also dreamed."
Luo Ren remained silent. After a while, he helped her cover the pajamas that had been lifted up: "I dreamed about you too?"
Kiyo shook his head: "I dreamed of you."
After waking up from the dream, she couldn't fall asleep all the time. It was the same as Luo Ren's initial thought, thinking: Impossible, it makes sense to anyone, but it won't happen to us.
Sitting there in a daze, he suddenly heard Cao Yanhua crying and howling outside, so he put on his clothes and came out to watch.
Luo Ren smiled: "This is interesting, Cao Yanhua dreamed of you, and you dreamed of me?"
He pondered for a moment.
It is time for the reminder of the Phoenix Luan button to appear. According to Hongsha's previous words - after getting the bronze entity of the Phoenix Luan button, the strength will increase, and maybe the seventh fierce letter will be found soon.
But such a reminder is too absurd and outrageous. Unlike a reminder, it seems to disturb people's hearts.
Suddenly, Kiyo thought of something: "Cao Pangpang and I both had dreams tonight. Maybe Hongsha and Yiwansan will also have directional dreams, and you, Luo Xiaodao. You might as well go to bed quickly , maybe you will dream about something too.”
Luo Ren smiled wryly: "Do you know what it means to plant flowers with heart and not bloom? Go to sleep just to fall asleep, I will definitely not be able to fall asleep."
At the end, he said: "Wait a little longer, anyway, when it is dawn, ten thousand three and Hongsha will wake up."
***
I waited until the sky was bright and the curtains were opened. It was a nice day.
It becomes a habit to count the days, including today, there are still eight days.
Single-digit days, live a day and lose weight.
Luo Ren called and asked breakfast to be delivered to the guest room. Five Western-style breakfasts were spread out on the tea table. The same color of bacon sandwiches, golden fried eggs, fried mushrooms, served with milk.
Kiyo lay on the sofa, opened a slice of bread for a sandwich, took the seasoning plate, poured countless salt, peppercorns, and squeezed mustard, without changing his face the whole time.
Said: "This one belongs to Cao Pangpang."
The deep love between master and apprentice is also touching.
Cao Yanhua was the first to recover, and he yelled in the bathroom, aggrieved and angry.
"What the heck! You just drank some wine, why did you tie him up? Is this how you treat your friends?"
Luo Ren drank the milk by himself and took the time to bite down on the sandwich.
Kiyo asked him: "Do you want to untie him?"
"I didn't lock him up, can't I unlock it when I'm drunk, can't I unlock it when I'm sober?"
Sure enough, within two minutes, Cao Yanhua came out moving his limbs, he even used his mouth, and finally got out of trouble.
After sleeping in the bathtub all night, the bones all over my body ached. As soon as the hangover disappeared, my temples twitched.
Greeting to Luo Ren: "Yo, there is something to eat, it's so high-end, and it's Western food."
Luo Ren glanced at him coldly: "Are you sober?"
Cao Yanhua laughed dryly: "Wake up, wake up, I didn't do anything, brother Luo, I'm not drunk."
While speaking, he looked around with a guilty conscience: Fortunately, the furniture and everything are in order, and the room is not in a mess, so it can be seen that he didn't smash anyone last night.
Smiling for a while, he reaches for a dinner plate.
Luo Ren flipped his hand, and the handle of the fork slammed into his hand: "Let's recall the memories again."
Remember memories? Cao Yanhua was puzzled, stretched out his hands and scratched his head, and looked at Kiyo as if asking for help. Kiyo's face was as heavy as water, and he inserted the fork into the mushroom fiercely.
Slow down, Cao Yanhua remembered.
He turned blue and white, and quickly trotted to Muyo and squatted down, clasping the armrests of the sofa with both hands, laughing in a low voice.
"Little master, I remembered, I was drunk...it was just a dream, I thought about it every day, and dreamed at night... If I was sober, I wouldn't be like that, how could the fierce Jane be on you Well, we are the Phoenix Squad. People are unconscious when they are drunk, little master, are you not injured?"
Wen Kiyo smiled softly: "I'm not hurt, why am I lying down? I just like lying down so much?"
Cao Yanhua's face turned green, and he stammered: "Then...then what should I do?"
Kido pursed his lips and motioned for the sandwich on the dinner plate.
At this moment, in the bedroom on one side, suddenly there was an angry voice from Ten Thousand: "Who is this, here, there is a bed of celery! Fatty Cao, is it you?"
I dragged him to bed last night, obviously the celery was still a bundle, but now it turned into a bed, I don't know what he did to the celery.
He rushed out like the wind, with a celery leaf on his head.
Luo Ren started a conversation with him.
—Wake up?
—Wake up.
—Did you dream last night?
——Did it, I had dreams all night, one after another, people said that there were too many dreams, and the quality of sleep was not good.
——Have you ever dreamed... who is the seventh evil sword on?
13,000 didn't speak anymore, he frowned, tried his best to recall, after a while, he seemed to suddenly remembered something, and his eyes swished on Cao Yanhua.
Cao Yanhua was exhaling heavily, his mouth was covered with mustard-colored salt and pepper foam, and his tongue was so big that he said, "Me?"
…
Yan Hongsha came out last, yawning, with hair like a bird's nest, when she pushed the door, she was startled.
The four of them sat three times and one lay down, all staring at her in unison.
Yan Hongsha was anxious: "It depends on what I do, I got up late, and you didn't call me."
10,000 asked directly: "Er Huo, did you dream about me last night?"
Yan Hongsha reacted greatly: "Who are you, you, why do I dream of you? It's so good, who is not good for me to dream about? What do you mean, you, you, you..."
She was tongue-tied, and the more she spoke, the more she stammered, and the last sentence was: "You... how do you know?"
***
Before Yan Hongsha got up, Ten Thousand and the others had already made a preliminary guess. According to the mutual generation and restraint of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, gold restrains wood, Mudai dreamed of Luo Ren, wood restrained soil, Cao Yanhua dreamed of Mudai, earth restrained water, Thirteen dreams of Cao Yanhua.
Although Luo Ren was the only one who didn't sleep, but after deduction, Huo overcomes gold, he should dream of Yanhongsha, and water overcomes fire, Yanhongsha dreamed, probably 13000.
Yan Hongsha's reaction verified this deduction.
Cao Yanhua was very angry, and the sandwich in his stomach pushed his anger to the top: "This seventh evil slip has not been shown so far, but it is bad in secret, Brother Luo, this sows dissension Yes, if it weren't for our determination, we would have doubted each other a long time ago."
Luo Ren smiled, Cao Yanhua's words sounded reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong: Such provocations are too easy to reveal, if it is to arouse distrust, it is better to point the finger at all five people one person.
Cao Yanhua gritted his teeth in hatred: "It can be seen that the seventh evil slip is around us. It can't be Ping Ting and Uncle Zhang, they are too far away. They must be people nearby, so they can affect us. Hurry up Think about it, who have we contacted these days? Cao Jiefang is one!"
Cao Jiefang was pecking at the fallen salt and bread crumbs by the sofa with his **** pouted, when he heard his name, he was so startled that his hairs stood on end.
Who else? There is also Ding Laojiu who lives outside Fengziling Village, who is barely a magic stick-I talked to him on the phone yesterday, maybe the evil power has acted on them through radio waves.
After much deliberation, Cao Jiefang is still the most suspected.
"The word 'Tibetan'," Cao Yanhua analyzed, "It must have been hidden inadvertently, the most unexpected - Liberation is just a chicken, and has made meritorious deeds, we are easily deceived by these superficial phenomena. Brother Luo, I would rather be wrong Kill, don't let it go, I suggest that the five of us give Cao Jiefang a blood transfusion to see if we can force the seventh root out."
Cao Jiefang continued to peck. Anyway, it couldn't understand what these people said.
Yan Hongsha thinks it is unreliable: "Don't toss about liberation, besides, it's not okay to transfuse human blood into chickens?"
Luo Ren said: "It's still a little bit wrong."
***
He called the magic stick.
The magic stick was also taken aback by the new situation: "Didn't you say that you have the power of the Phoenix Luan buckle on your body, so you can't be harmed by the fierce Jane?"
Luo Ren said: "The whole thing, now, suddenly, is full of strange paradoxes. I need everyone to help me sort it out."
The first paradox is that people with the power of the phoenix luan will not be hurt by the possession of the fierce Jane vs. the fierce Jane is attached to one of them.
——Since it is said that it will not harm the body, if it appears on any of them, it will be inconsistent with slaps in the face.
The second paradox: The emergence of this situation is the seventh root of the fierce Jane's instigation of dissension vs. they will not be controlled and affected by the fierce Jane's mind.
——Since the fierce Jane can't affect their minds, how can it affect them to have strange and directional dreams to sow discord?
The third paradox: the emergence of this situation has nothing to do with the evil letter, but the reminder of the Phoenix Luankou vs. the silk script says that people with the power of the Phoenix Luankou will not be harmed by the evil letter .
Going round and round and contradicting each other are inextricable links.
Luo Ren felt that the reason why their derivation came to a paradoxical dead end must be because there was an error in the premise that they believed.
What went wrong?
The magic stick couldn't figure it out either, so he said "wait a minute, I'm going to meditate in the valley" and hung up the phone.
Looking up at everyone, they are all helpless.
After a long time, Kiyo came up with a sentence: "Actually, I also think that it would be very reasonable if the seventh evil slip is on one of us. Didn't Cao Fatty say that the most brilliant hiding is inadvertent, Unexpected. Before, we suspected everyone around us, even Cao Jiefang, but we didn't think of ourselves."
Yan Hongsha bit her lip and nodded: "I think so too. My grandfather often told me that when looking for things, it is dark under the lamp. When I was young, I heard a story about a magic mirror. Princess, there is a magic mirror to find people, anyone can be found in the sky and on the ground.”
Luo Ren had also heard this story, and the follow-up was that a young man came to challenge him. He had rescued eagles, big fish, and foxes before.
For the first time, he rode on the back of an eagle and flew high into the sky, but the princess took a mirror to the sky and found him.
The second time, he hid in the belly of the fish and dived into the deep sea, but the princess's mirror looked into the sea and found him again.
The third time, the fox thought of a way. It made a hole leading to the bed in the princess bedroom, where the young man hid, and this time, it succeeded.
Yes, reasonable is the most reasonable, but... still a paradox.
***
The day passed so quickly, Luo Ren even had the idea of returning, when the sun was setting, the phone call from the magic stick suddenly came.
I was so excited that I spoke incoherently, and said: "Xiao Luobo, when I entered the samadhi, I thought that if the final inference contradicts itself, there must be a mistake in the basis of the major premise. So I tried, one by one. Overturn the known information, and then, suddenly!"
His voice was trembling with excitement: "I made a conjecture, a conjecture by a magic stick, the more I think about it, the more I think I'm right! Wait, I'll drink first!"
In the receiver, the sound of his footsteps running away.
Luo Ren's Adam's apple rolled, looked at everyone, turned the volume of the phone to the maximum, and said: "Close the windows, close the door, and put the Do Not Disturb sign."
Everyone moved in unison, and when they were done, they sat around the coffee table, the headlights were turned off, leaving only a hazy yellow standing lamp, and the call button was on, and Kiyo suddenly panicked, afraid that at such a critical time, there would be foggy town Suddenly something happened, so that the magic stick did not come back.
Fortunately, it's just unfounded worry, the magic stick will come back soon.
The voice was solemn and said: "Listen up, don't rush to refute or fry the pot, just listen to me."
"My hypothesis is that the dream you had was not the interference and provocation of the fierce Jane at all, but the reminder of the Phoenix Luan's buckle. Moreover, this reminder is basically correct. The seventh fierce Jane is indeed on you. And, everyone has it."
Cao Yanhua couldn't sit still, he wanted to speak with a stalk in his neck, when Luo Ren's awl-like eyes from the opposite side pierced him, his heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed the words back.
"I read all the contents of the silk book that I wrote before, and there are two sentences, I will repeat them, listen carefully."
"The first sentence is that a person with the power of the phoenix clasp on his body cannot be harmed by the possession of the fierce Jane."
"The second sentence is: The power of the seven stars, attached to the body, changes the heart, devours the good and promotes the evil, strengthens the body, makes it sensitive to action, and even returns to life."
In Luo Ren's mind, a tiny spark flickered, and he felt that he had thought of something—but the spark was not strong enough, and there was still a lack of firewood to support the combustion.
God stick continued: "It suddenly occurred to me that being harmed by the fierce Jane and being possessed by the fierce Jane are two different things."
By the way, this is the firewood!
Luo Ren's mind was clear for an instant, and he leaned back on the sofa, laughing loudly.
The magic stick said: "Hey, little radish, did you think of it?"
Luo Ren kept laughing, and after a while he said, "Go ahead."
The magic stick cleared his throat: "The power of the seven stars, apart from changing people's hearts, devouring the good and promoting the evil, is actually good. To use a popular analogy, it has many function, but if it closes this one, then it is attached to the human body, and there is no harm at all.”
10,000 curses: "I'll wipe it."
He also reacted.
Do you understand everything? Yan Hongsha was a little anxious, and Kiyo was very calm: "It's okay, let them die their brain cells, let's listen."
"That is to say, they can attach to you, as long as the damage function is completely turned off-your blood will respond to the evil Jane, but what if it doesn't do evil?"
"It's like, in medicine, everyone has cancer genes, but whether they will turn into cancer cells depends on how they are controlled."
If fierce Jane turns off the damage function, will she not do evil at all? If he didn't do evil, the fierce slip would instead become the Ganoderma lucidum, the power of the phoenix luan buckle, and completely lose the object to be restrained and acted upon.
Kiyo suddenly realized: "I understand!"
She looked at Luo Ren in a daze: "I remember, when Luo Ren was injured by the cheetah, whether it was the big brother or Aoki, they all said that Luo Xiaodao would not survive. Later, Luo Ren came over, I thought it was..."
I thought it was a miracle, the power of love, the prosperity of medicine, and the persistence of will.
In essence, is there a cause for every effect?
Luo Ren looked at her and smiled: "Also, do you remember that the cheetah once buried you in the ground."
"I dug you out of the soil and found your heart was still hot. At that time, I thanked God in my heart. I felt that I arrived in time, and I also felt that maybe you had practiced martial arts for many years and could hold your breath. , gaining time."
Yan Hongsha's heart was agitated, and she looked at Yisan like a conditioned reflex: "Tenwansan, you were also..."
13,000 nodded: "It's possible."
The Caojia Village was designed by Yafeng and Qingshan, and he was buried in the soil for more than two days when he encountered a landslide.
Actually, he recovered very quickly. Afterwards, I analyzed it. I thought it was luck. His nose was not blocked by sand. Regardless of whether it was a landslide or rain, he survived until the red sand to save him.
Thinking back now, I suddenly felt like I was shivering.
Is it because of the seventh evil root?
It hides quietly and silently, shuts off "fierce" and "sha", and quietly disperses on the five people, even benefiting them unintentionally, and it is precisely because of this "benefit" , making hiding more secure.
The voice of the magic stick is a little nervous: "little radish, we have been saying that the fierce Jane may have an IQ. In the long-term confrontation with the power of the Phoenix Luan, they are also constantly evolving. If you use war to For example, this round is a new tactic developed by them summarizing previous failures."
Missing a few fierce slips in the early stage meant the emergence of the power of the Phoenix Luan, and also meant a small-scale defeat in the defense of the fierce slips. Therefore, secretly, the drama of layout, counterattack, and finale gradually took shape.
The fourth root, Ji Jian consciously started to target Luo Ren and the others, recognized everyone's face, and knew who the enemy was.
The fifth root, the first round of charge represented by Yafeng, was not perfect, but it had a clear direction. When it was finally defeated, Yafeng said, "You will be like us in the end."
This sentence does not simply refer to the situation that the seven evils were briefly achieved, but now it seems that it has a profound meaning, because at that time, the seventh evil was already in place.
The sixth root, launched by the cheetahs, was almost an attack of storms and land grabbing. They suffered heavy losses and almost wiped out their entire army.
But in fact, from the overall perspective of the battlefield, it is good for these six to win, and it doesn't matter if they lose.
Because, there is still the final ultimate move, as long as the seventh root cannot be found, all "trapped" to the first six will be automatically released.
The seventh root is the leader behind the scenes. It has always been sitting peacefully like a mountain.
To some extent, those defeats were a necessary sacrifice for it to confuse and hoodwink its opponents.
The chess game is still firmly in its hands, it is the most important thing, and those defeats that are dismissed with a smile are like scratching the ear.
It wants them to not find it.
It was on all five of them.
