C23 Zhong kui sword

"That's right, the thing I want to give you is inside. Come on." My mother pulled me into the dark little passage. She went to the back, where there was a cabinet, which was locked, but which seemed to be different from the one we were using now, and was covered with rust. I followed my mother's footsteps, and when she was old, she naturally didn't walk as she used to do, she walked a little humped, tired, and couldn't even see the lock properly when she unlocked it. So I let my mother go, and I unlocked it.

Just as I was about to study how to open the lock, my mother called out to me. "My heart, this key can't be opened. It needs your blood to open it."

When I heard this, I was stunned. Why did it take my blood to open this lock? Could there be some kind of treasure inside? With excitement and curiosity, I bit off the skin on my thumb and dripped a few drops of blood on the lock. As expected, the lock opened on itself! The cabinets fell to the floor.

I was surprised. What exactly was inside?

When Mother saw my doubt, she immediately bent down to pick up a long item wrapped in a cloth from the cabinet. After giving it to me, I opened it to see that it was a long sword!

I asked my mother where the sword had come from, and she told me that this was the "thing" she was going to give me.

This sword was used by Zhong Kui's "Old Ancestor," and now Mother intends to pass it on to me. I used to think that saying that our family was the descendants of the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui was a lie. After all, in this world, our family wasn't the only family with the surname Zhong. However, my mother told me this time that she already knew of my Zhong Kui's secret technique. She knew that she wouldn't be able to hide it from me for too long, so she decided to just give me this Zhong Kui Sword.

I took the sword and examined it closely. It was indeed a good sword!

"Mom, why did you give it to me?"

"Zhong Kui's descendant must have had an unavoidable mission. Besides, your father was killed by you all those years ago …" As she said this, tears welled up in the corners of her mother's eyes, but she was trying not to cry. I was very surprised that the father that my mother rarely mentioned was actually killed by me!

My mother told me that in the past, some Daoists had coveted Zhong Kui's sword and tried to take it away from the Zhong Family. It was my father who had been protecting them. And I knew that one day, my father had been schemed against by a good friend, because Zhong Kui only recognized blood, and not all of the Zhong family members could awaken him, but had set a rule for several days and months, and among all the Zhong family members, only my birth date and eight words met the requirements to use Zhong Kui's sword. Thus, in these hundred years, only I was able to awaken him, but one time, his good friend had swapped him for my father's sword and he found out that Zhong Kui was in a big fight with him.

My mother said this and I felt very ashamed. I was the one who killed my father. It had been so many years, but my mother had never told me about it. Thus, tonight, Mother passed this Zhong Kui Sword over to me because she wanted me to protect this Zhong Kui Sword and not miss out on my ancestral cause.

I picked up my sword and went home with my mother. The moment he entered the door, he heard Fatty snoring loudly. This sound was so loud that it could shake the heavens! I put away my sword and prepared to head back to Fatty's house the next day to continue investigating the matter of the thorn.

I opened my eyes and saw that there was nothing bad about leaving early, so I told Fatty about what happened to my mother and me last night. Fatty nodded and agreed to come back to his house with me to check out the thorns in his body that had turned into a zombie, while at the same time carefully investigating this matter.

After breakfast, we bid farewell to our mother, took the Zhong Kui sword, and gave Mother a few talismans to protect herself. Mother took it and told us to take good care of our bodies, so we got busy.

When they arrived at Fatty's house, the first thing Fatty did was to check if there was anything wrong with the sealed bayonet. In the end, nothing bad happened.

In the evening, Fatty stayed at home to watch over Stabbing Head, while I put my sword in Fatty's hands to watch over it. I went to the night market to buy some supper before taking it back with me.

On the way, I saw a woman who looked very much like Linglong. Thus, I walked up to her. I discovered that she was indeed Ling Long, but she didn't see me. I didn't greet her either. I only silently walked back to Fatty's house.

Not long after I sat down and was about to enjoy the delicacies, the doorbell suddenly rang.

When Fatty went to open the door, he discovered that it was Linglong who had pressed the doorbell.

"Linglong? "You …" Fatty's tone was very surprised. I was also very surprised, didn't Linglong already … Was it destroyed?

At this moment, Linglong seemed to have noticed that we were looking at her strangely, so she explained to us, saying that she's only a soul wandering around here, and that she came to find me for a favor.

"What kind of help?" I asked her.

She asked me to protect her sisters and to find them.

"No," I said flatly.

"The only one I know is Zi Yue. There is one other person I haven't even seen before. Moreover, I still have someone that I can deal with myself, so I really can't help you anymore."

Linglong said that she was holding her last breath because she wanted to see her sister and let the three of them get together again. It's not that I don't want to help them, it's that I really can't. Zi Yue is already dead, and I haven't even seen her before.

There was a hint of sadness on Linglong's face when she saw that I had refused her, but I still let her stay. After all, it wasn't safe for her to go out.

At 9: 30 in the evening, the three of us sat in the living room. Linglong told me a story about the three sisters. They all looked very similar, but there was always someone who bullied them since we were young …

More than half of the day had passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already eleven o'clock. The fat guy looked at the time and told us to each go to a different house, but I couldn't sleep because I had something on my mind.

Although I could use my blood to awaken the Zhong Kui's sword that my mother had given me, I still wouldn't have used it all. Otherwise, I would have ended up like my father.

Just as we were about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door. This person didn't ring the doorbell, so it was obvious that he didn't know Fatty's family.

I went to open the door, but there was no one there!

I suspected that I had misheard, so I looked towards Linglong and Fatty, but they both said that they had also heard the knock on the door, which was strange. Just as we were about to turn around and leave, the door was suddenly kicked open!

It was actually Old Wu who was heading in his direction!

Old Wu's face was filled with an eerie aura, very different from the last time I saw him.

When I asked him why he was kicking the door, he smiled at me and said he was looking for something.

Actually, I suspected Boss Wu a long time ago. Although he usually treats my mother very well, but sometimes, when one person looks at another person with such accuracy, I can tell from his eyes that he is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

I asked him what he was here for, but he didn't say anything. He only muttered the words "Zhong Kui Sword, mine". When I heard that Zhong Kui had just changed owners, trouble came knocking on my door.

What I didn't expect was that the one looking for trouble was Boss Wu.

Old Wu looked at Ling Long, then looked at Fatty, and finally came closer to us and said: "Zhong Kui Sword can't change hands so easily, you're still too young, I'm afraid you couldn't take care of it properly, your mother is confused too, why did she give you her sword!"

Hearing his tone, he still tried to test me. He thought that I didn't know of Zhong Kui's' secrets' and wanted to lie to take away Zhong Kui's sword.

I laughed out loud and told Old Wu, "I respect you so much because you're an elder. I never expected you to be such a person!"

Old Wu had a look of disdain on her face as she stretched out her hand and struck out with her palm. However, this strike did not hit anyone, but landed on the tea table in Fatty's house. The tea table was crushed and was accompanied by a pungent smell.

What was Old Wu's background? Could it be that after all these years …

At this moment, Fatty walked over and whispered into my ear, telling me not to take out Zhong Kui's sword right now, because from the looks of Old Wu's actions, he must have known that Zhong Kui's sword was in my hands and was following closely behind him. Furthermore, I am not familiar with how to use it, so it's even more impossible for Zhong Kui to show up now, otherwise we would be at a disadvantage.

I refrained from provoking him, and only asked him in a whisper why he had done so.

He didn't reply but instead walked over and grabbed my sleeve. I tried to persuade him, "I don't have Zhong Kui Sword. Zhong Kui sword is something I've only seen before. However, it isn't with me right now."

I know what your mom did last night, and I also know that you must be very surprised. I will follow your friend here, and in truth, I thought I had no ill intentions, and only wanted to take the sword, because it was not yours to begin with. It was you who caused your father's death. With that, Old Wu's eyes were filled with anger, which was scary.

I ignored him, but he took advantage of my inattentiveness to grab Linglong, "Stop lying to me, how could I not know your family? If she doesn't bring a sword, she must die! "

I was stunned, I didn't want to implicate Linglong …

Fatty told me not to act rashly. Things happened too suddenly, so I can't act rashly.

But he couldn't just watch Linglong die!

"Have you thought it through? If you don't take it out now, don't blame me for not caring about our relationship for so many years. Also, your mother, you don't need me to say anything, you understand, right?"

Damn it! Zhong Kui's sword cannot be given to him. However, if Ling Long dies, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!
