From this perspective, the forces behind the demon race have employed very clever tactics, killing two birds with one stone by simultaneously striking at both the eunuch faction and the Qi faction.
So who is behind this? Is it the Wang faction, the dying Liang faction, or a certain prince...?
Xu Qi'an couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Wei Yuan already knew what was going on.
It was broad daylight, and Xu Qi'an made it back to the Xu residence without incident, finally able to get some sleep.
Just as I stepped through the gate, I bumped into Li Ru, who looked travel-worn. This aunt was now enjoying immense prestige.
Li Ru manages several shops of Changqing Trading Company, and now she is adorned with gold and silver, and the quality of her clothing and appearance has improved considerably.
Li Ru, who was already voluptuous and beautiful, now looks several years younger. In her previous life, several young men would have shouted, "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore."
"Ning Yan, I've had a few outfits made for you. Try them on to see if they fit. I have to go now, I have a lot to do..."
Exhausted, Xu Qi'an habitually opened his mouth and said, "Ha, the sun has risen in the west."
The two have been rivals for a long time, and now they are evenly matched in terms of status and wealth, with neither able to suppress the other.
The aunt, who had already taken several steps, suddenly turned around, swaying her hips, and spat out a single word from her rosy lips, "Get lost!"
Xu Qi'an left without hesitation.
However, the moment he opened the door, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine; the atmosphere in the room was indescribably strange.
He turned his head stiffly and found someone in his bed.
No, that's not a person, that's a bright red severed hand!
The severed hand, with its deep red skin, lay quietly, completely unlike its previous ferocious appearance, with bluish veins rising from its surface.
Xu Qi'an watched as the severed hand gently tapped the bed frame, as if to say, "Why aren't you here yet?"
He subconsciously reached into his robes and pinched the small jade pendant.
There was no time to think; he could even feel the air thickening, as the demonic hand was affecting his mind and speed of movement.
It wants to parasitize itself like a parasitic killer, no wonder it said in the female ghost's memory, "We will meet soon."
"bass……"
With a soft sound, Xu Qi'an crushed the jade pendant without hesitation. No matter what, he couldn't deal with this demonic hand.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. The demonic hand seemed to be shocked, standing still on the bed, and then turned to flee.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the roof of Xu Qi'an's room cracked open, and a huge golden bell phantom descended from the sky, radiating Buddhist scriptures and light. It smashed Xu Qi'an's bed and trapped the demonic hand firmly inside.
To be precise, it was a Buddha's hand.
At that moment, the severed hand suddenly let out a roar, and a sound of air friction was heard.
"You fiend, neither Buddhist nor Taoist, it's you again!"
Chapter 316 Xu Qi'an: Don't put it in your mouth!
Xu Qi'an's room was completely destroyed, and a huge golden bell more than ten feet tall firmly covered the red severed hand.
The severed hand sometimes clenched into a fist, sometimes clenched into a palm, constantly crashing against the illusory image of the golden bell, trying to break free from the seal.
With a series of loud, violent collisions, the entire Xu residence trembled, alarming everyone inside.
Xu Qi'an shouted to the servants and maids who were running around in panic, "Everyone go back! I'm subduing a demon, don't come out and get in the way!"
Before long, the severed hand lay exhausted in the golden bell, no longer able to resist.
"You fiend, neither Buddhist nor Taoist, you'd better let me out! You have no idea who you've messed with!"
A weak, menacing glint of a severed hand emanated from the air. Li Chang'an stood before the golden bell, observing the severed hand with great interest.
"Should I call you King of Asura, Buddha, or Divine Being?"
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, the severed hand suddenly stopped moving, and the voice it uttered was somewhat stuttering, "You! Who exactly are you!"
"Ask yourself that question first. You are a demon, a Buddha, and a wisp of soul from a Daoist avatar. You should think carefully about what you really are."
This severed hand came from Shenshu, who was a combination of the demon Asura King and a part of the Buddha's soul. The Buddha himself was one of the three incarnations of the Dao Venerable.
Shen Shu cut off his hand and cursed Li Chang'an as neither a Buddhist nor a Taoist, calling him a monster. In fact, Shen Shu himself was the real monster who combined Buddhism, Taoism, and demonism.
"Do you remember it?"
Under Li Chang'an's guidance, the severed hand suddenly went mad again. Shen Shu himself was often mentally confused, let alone this severed hand that had been suppressed for hundreds of years.
"Ah! I am Buddha! I am demon! My monastic name is... Shenshu..."
Still shaken, Xu Qi'an couldn't understand what Li Chang'an was saying at all; in short, the origin of this severed hand was very complicated.
"Master, is this the sealed artifact beneath Sangbo?"
Li Chang'an said, "Let him say it himself."
The man with the severed hand hesitated, “Why was this humble monk in Sangbo… I don’t remember. I only know that my name is Shenshu, and I can’t remember anything else.”
"Then why did you come to find me?" Xu Qi'an said angrily. If Li Chang'an hadn't come, he didn't know what this severed hand would have done to him.
The man with the severed hand stammered, "This is an order. Someone ordered me to use your body to recover..."
“Your master was the most suitable, but he broke through to the third rank of the Daoist sect, and I couldn’t control him… so I came to you.”
At this moment, Li Chang'an suddenly said, "Ning Yan, although this severed hand is not good-looking, it can help you improve your cultivation and greatly benefit your training. Would you be willing to let it parasitize your body?"
Since it was Li Chang'an who said it, it must be reliable, after all, it's a second-grade severed hand. Second-grade, that's a transcendent being!
This is like a personal grandpa!
Xu Qi'an thought of Saint-level mage Derinkwater and Dou Zun Yao Chen, but his own cheat ability was a bit too ugly.
Although the sealed artifact beneath Sangbo might be hostile to the imperial court, Li Chang'an, who had been involved with two princesses, did not kill it directly, and Xu Qi'an would not be so pedantic as to subdue it for the sake of the imperial court.
Faced with the choice between loyalty to Emperor Yuanjing and Li Chang'an, Xu Qi'an unhesitatingly chose Li Chang'an, knowing that Emperor Yuanjing would not come to his rescue in times of crisis.
"Master, it's good that it helps with cultivation, but I don't know how it will parasitize me. Why can't it crawl into the ring or my gong?"
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, the severed hand was surprised that Li Chang'an had agreed to let it parasitize Xu Qi'an, and its tone became somewhat agitated.
"You are a martial artist who cultivates the physical body. Letting me enter your body would be the most effective way..."
He was interrupted by Li Chang'an before he could finish speaking, "Shen Shu, you'd better tell the truth."
The severed hand chuckled, "By drilling into the body, my recovery speed... will be much faster, and of course, it will be of the greatest help to your disciple."
"Moreover... I don't currently have the ability to abandon my hand and enter the magical artifact."
Xu Qi'an hesitated. He wasn't sure how effective this cheat would be. It felt strange to let it crawl into his body directly.
However, when Xu Qi'an thought about the powerful abilities of a high-ranking martial artist, he became somewhat tempted. Strength is the only true measure of success!
"Master, if this thing is going to harm me, can you help me get it out?"
Li Chang'an shook his head. "I can't kick him out, but I have a way to completely eliminate him while you are safe and sound."
The severed hand inside the golden bell trembled and immediately assured, "Rest assured, both of you, this humble monk has no intention of harming anyone!"
"If you parasitize my body, will I turn into a monster like an assassin?"
Xu Qi'an was still wary of the assassin's ferocious appearance, and it wouldn't be good if it affected his appearance too much.
The man with the severed hand said, "It's alright. That assassin was just a corpse, which is why he became a puppet. Your appearance will not change at all."
Xu Qi'an nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, come in."
Li Chang'an put away the golden bell, his severed hand got up from the ground, and then crawled little by little to Xu Qi'an's feet, all the way up to his body.
Xu Qi'an was shocked and asked in horror, "Won't you shrink and fly into my body?"
The man with the severed hand said apologetically, "If my divine body were intact, I might be able to use such divine power, but for now, it can only be inserted through your mouth."
"You! You want to crawl into my mouth!" Xu Qi'an's face turned ashen; he simply couldn't imagine such a disgustingly large hand trying to crawl into his mouth. "Such a big hand, don't come in through my mouth, it'll hurt so much!"
Shen Shu's severed hand stopped on Li Chang'an's waist, and he turned his palm back to look at Li Chang'an with some difficulty, "Benefactor Li, your disciple seems to have some concerns."
Looking at the bloody hand, Li Chang'an felt nauseous and couldn't help but ask, "Ning Yan, if he can't get it in his mouth, let him go somewhere else."
As soon as he finished speaking, the severed hand seemed to have made up his mind, "Since Benefactor Li has spared my life and is willing to let me live in your body."
The little suffering that the young monk endures is nothing to worry about.
The sound of a severed hand still echoed in the air. At the same time, it changed direction and moved sideways around Xu Qi'an's waist, seemingly moving behind him.
Xu Qi'an's anus tightened, and he immediately understood what the severed hand meant by suffering. He immediately covered his anus with both hands and shouted in terror, "You can't come in from behind!"
If you suffer even a little bit, I'll suffer terribly!
Xu Qi'an's face twitched several times as he hesitated. He was going to suffer both ways, so he wondered which way he could suffer less.
They say entering from behind might provide some pleasure, want to try it...?
Xu Qi'an shook his head firmly. Although both were forced penetration, the nature of the front and the back was completely different, and it concerned a man's chastity!
"Shen Shu... right? You'd better come in through your mouth."
"Amitabha, benefactor, you are so kind. This humble monk has arrived." The severed hand was sincerely grateful to Xu Qi'an for allowing him to live on it.
Despite having agreed, Xu Qi'an involuntarily clenched his teeth, physiologically resisting the bloody severed hand entering his mouth.
