The copper gourd looks very old, with cracks on the surface, and some places are already rusted, and the mouth of the gourd is uncovered. I once looked inside and saw it as dark as if it was a thousand years old. If you stare at it for a while, you will be dizzy.

"How did you get it?" Zeng Fu held the gourd in both hands, feeling that it was quite heavy.

“It’s a long story…”

"Wait a moment and stop your blood first." Xin Youxun said.

Chen Guanhuo's abdomen was soaked in blood. When he heard this sentence, he felt as if he was forgiven. He hurriedly took out the pill and took it internally and externally, but he did not dare to look up.

The other four monks had stopped bleeding by themselves, hid far away at the other end of the yard, looking at the surrendered Chen Guanhuo and the Qilin with silver horns flashing in horror.

Chen Guanhuo stood up and stood respectfully, like a slave who had just been admonished.

"Let those pregnant women go first, and you say you have recognized the wrong person or made the wrong spell. Don't mention us two." Xin Youxun did not forget the real purpose of this trip.

Chen Guanhuo kept saying a word, covering his abdomen and dragging his body to release the person himself. The monk surnamed Liao and others kept winking, trying to figure out what was going on, but Chen Guanhuo ignored it.

Xin Youxun and Zeng Fu retreated to the corner of the manor, and the broom turned into a donkey again. The eyes were always there for several monks, and the four hooves gently trampled on them. It was a little excited and a little unsatisfied when it participated in a real battle for the first time.

More than a dozen women of different belly sizes came out of a half-inclined house, looked around in a hurry, and immediately ran towards the gate in panic, all frightened.

Chen Guanhuo was the last to come out and said to the two girls in the distance: "I distributed silver and asked them to go to the nearby market town for help."

"One is missing. You said there are fourteen pregnant women, and now there are only thirteen." Xin Youxun was not confused by the panic scene.

Chen Guan's head lowered and remained silent. The monk named Liao could no longer bear it and shouted: "Brother Chen, we admired your courage and knowledge before we were willing to follow you. Who thought you were a coward? What are the origins of these two women that made you look like this after you lose? They all rely on the support of the Qilin, but they actually have no ability..."

Chen Guanhuo first bowed to the two women, and then walked towards the four companions. "Everything I have done has a reason. Please believe my judgment. If there is a big chaos today, everyone is walking on thin ice. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into a land that will never be restored. You and I have no way to go, so you need to be more careful..."

The four monks nodded repeatedly, thinking that these words were correct, but it was too timid to admit defeat so easily.

Chen Guanhuo walked to the four people. He didn't stop and suddenly cast a spell on his hands, "You must not disclose your whereabouts."

The words were not finished yet. The abdomen of the four monks were pierced through holes as thick as their thumbs. No blood flowed, but a trace of heat came out. The four of them were shocked inexplicably, and they couldn't believe that they were just hit. Zeng Fu in the distance let out a scream, but Xin Youxun observed quietly.

"Sorry, rather than ups and downs in the troubled times, it's better to die in my hands. Having said that, we are not too familiar with each other." Chen Guanhuo quickly took off the pockets of the four people, turned around and walked towards the two women, stopped when they were twenty steps apart, and placed their pockets on the ground.

Behind him, four monks fell one after another.

"Miss Zeng is unwilling to reveal her whereabouts. I can't guarantee that they can keep their mouths tight, so I have to kill them. Now I ask Miss Zeng to kill me to prevent future troubles."

Zeng Fu was also frightened and raised his veil. The horror on his face was no less than the four monks who had just fallen. She lived in Pangshan since she was a child. After leaving the Taoist throne, she also served the princess. She had never seen a cruel and ruthless person like Chen Guanhuo. She couldn't even imagine it.

"You, you...I didn't say I didn't believe you, why are you killing?"

"We make several vows every day, and turn our heads and forget them. Only when we die can we keep it confidential." Chen Guanhuo even summoned his magic sword and held it in his hand, saying that we would never resist. "And... a pregnant woman died of trauma and was worthy of our five sins."

Zeng Fu shook her head. She didn't want to kill anyone, so she had to look at Xin Youxun.

Xin Youxun sat on the donkey and said calmly: "You don't have to die, go to the South China Sea, the farther the better."

"Yes, I'll clean up the body and leave immediately." Chen Guanhuo stared at his toes, not daring to show that he recognized Queen Xun.

Zeng Wuwu's hands and feet were weak and barely climbed onto the donkey's back. She had seen a much bigger killing scene, but she was not as panicked as Chen Guanhuo's sudden move. She couldn't tell what it felt. She was both sympathetic and disgusted with Chen Guanhuo.

Xin Youxun pulled the donkey to the gate, stopped after a few steps, and turned around and said, "The gourd is still here."

Zeng Fu put the copper gourd on the back of the broom, picked it up and said, "Yes, this is your thing, we don't want it... By the way, you haven't told us how we got it."

Chen Guanhuo stood there without moving, "We all joined the Holy Talisman Army before, but when we arrived at the front line, we felt that this war was meaningless. It was more like working for the Taoist priests. However, the Taoists did not make any promises, and they didn't even look at it. So... we became deserters and returned to the vicinity of the imperial capital more than ten days ago, intending to concentrate on practicing."

The closer you are to the Taoist Tower, the more powerful the spells provided by the ancestors, the more helpful it will be to practice. The five people encountered a strange thing shortly after they came back.

"This gourd fell from the sky. To be more precise, it suddenly appeared in the air more than ten feet long and then hit the ground. It was burning, extinguishing after an hour, and cooling after another hour."

"Such by chance, it fell next to you guys?" Zeng Fu found it unbelievable.

"Actually, it fell into a forest seven or eight miles away. The four of them were practicing. I was just waiting to see it, so I flew over to check the situation. I thought this was a bit strange. Maybe this gourd was a treasure, not far from the imperial capital. The Taoist sect probably had noticed it and would send someone to take it away soon. But I was wrong. Until the gourd cooled down, no Taoist priest appeared. I was guarding there and saw the words on the gourd."

Zeng Fu glanced at the copper gourd and said, "Where did the words come from?"

"At that time, the text kept flashing, and disappeared after cooling down. I went a little late and didn't see the beginning. It seemed like a martial art. The content was strange and I couldn't practice at all. The last few passages mentioned something else, claiming that a large number of Taoist priests returned to the world and reincarnation was a baby. The most obvious feature was the birth of the Taoist roots."

"Nothing nonsense, in this way, Zuo Liuying was also a former Taoist priest who had reincarnated? He lived for more than four hundred years and had no memory of his previous life." Zeng Fu shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first. I just took the gourd away. But soon after, Taoist priests were flying regularly around the imperial capital. They were not looking for copper gourds, but pregnant women from all over the country, and they were illuminated with bright mirrors, so I thought it might be true. So we waited for the Taoist priests to return to the imperial capital and found... some pregnant women, wanting to see if they can have a viviparous root after giving birth."

"Shameless!" Zeng Fu said indignantly, not so regretful about the deaths of the four monks, "Do you want to seize the root of the birth of the fetus?"

Chen Guanhuo's face turned slightly red, "The magic of the Taoist Tower has long begun to be unstable. We are worried that it will stop sooner or later... We are used to the current speed of practice. Once it slows down or stops... In short, I am obsessed with the instigation of their several people..."

"It's not certain who instigates who." Zeng Fu began to feel that Chen Guanhuo was not that honest.

Chen Guanhuo lowered his head and said nothing.

"Zeng Fu. Return the gourd to him. The origin of this thing is unknown, so we cannot stay by our side." Xin Youxun was wary of anything that could automatically reveal words.

I once wanted to throw the gourd over, but it was too heavy. I just wanted to throw it on the ground. I felt it was too rude. "Come here and take the gourd away. Oh. How could you become the person you are now? Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin also have no vision. You have to reflect on it and don't be bad people anymore. At worst, you can find a place to live in seclusion. It is a good thing to make a quick progress in your practice, and it is no big deal to slow down or stop. Taoist priests still have various disasters, you..."

Chen Guanhuo walked to Zeng Fu, kept saying yes, reached out to pick up the copper gourd, and after getting it, he breathed a sigh of relief. This action was very light and completely unintentional. He didn't even notice it himself.

Xin Youxun noticed that not only that, she also took action.

She learned from the first talisman sacrifice, and did not sacrifice a bunch of talismans, only used one, and waited until Chen Guanhuo approached before taking action.

The two sides are less than five steps apart.

Chen Guanhuo also learned his lesson and kept holding the magic sword in his hand until he took the copper gourd before he relaxed his guard slightly. Even so, he still reacted, swung his sword to block it, and jumped backwards at the same time.

Just a little distance, he can stand invincible, attacking, retreating, and defending.

But he couldn't imagine how powerful this talisman was.

Xin Youxun didn't expect that she only knew that this was the life-saving talisman provided by Longbin, with only five pieces, and should have been used at the most critical moment.

With a bang, the talisman exploded, like the sky collapsed and the earth broke.

The two donkeys raised their front hooves and showed their true colors at the same time. They stood up to help their owner resist the explosion. There was a copper bell hanging around the broom's neck and a talisman armor piece on the other kirin's chest. Even so, they were shaken away for dozens of steps and hit the broken wall before stopping.

Zeng Fu felt that his bones were broken all over his body. He lay in the bricks and tiles for a while before he could barely get up. He checked the broom first. It was fine, but he was a little blindfolded and lay on the ground and blinked constantly.

Zeng Fu ran forward and saw a pool of blood on the ground. Chen Guanhuo and magic weapons were gone, leaving only the copper gourd spinning on the ground.

Xin Youxun, opposite, also came out of the ruins. Her unicorn was not as powerful as a broom. She was injured and her veil was gone. Her hair was scattered and her face was covered with blood.

"Diet?" Xin Youxun didn't care about his injuries.

Zeng Fu nodded in confusion, stood blankly for a while before reacting, and asked angrily: "What's going on? Didn't you agree to let him go?"

Xin Youxun walked slowly, "This person is not trustworthy. He begged for death from you and deliberately did not say that he knew me. He actually had murderous intentions in his heart, just to avoid the excuse of killing the queen."

"Just this?"

"Also, he drew his sword in his hand, and you expressed forgiveness, and he refused to take it back for a long time. Every time he raised his eyes, he would look at the gourd. He obviously wanted to go back, but he didn't speak. He was playing hard to get. If there were guards behind us, he would keep pretending to admit his guilt. If it was confirmed that there were only two of us, he would definitely kill people, just like killing those four."

I thought for a while, "Oh, I have no roots when I am a Taoist, and I have no scheming when I am a mortal. I won't sell me when you are short of money, right?"

Xin Youxun smiled, "Don't worry, I have something more valuable."

Zeng Fu frowned, unable to figure out whether this was a joke or a praise.

"Chen Guanhuo said that a pregnant woman died, but he did not mention whether the baby was born. I guess he must have hidden something."

"If he lies on this matter, I will completely believe your judgment of him."

Zeng Fu was about to run to the room where the pregnant woman was imprisoned, but Xin Youxun pointed to the ground and asked her to see.

The copper gourd was still rotating, with a glimmer of light on it, as if lines of text appeared.
