C89 (1/2)
Hearing the President Liu talk endlessly about this, I thought it was just the stuff of old sesame seeds. Moreover, when he mentioned that so-called expert again, I couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking: Is there really so many masters like me in this world?
However, I actually saw it with my own eyes. Even though I felt that it was a little boring, I still listened attentively, because I really wanted to know the purpose of the so called Great Master for bringing such a set of Pi Xiu to President Liu's house. When President Liu mentioned that the Great Master had gone to visit him in the middle of the night and mentioned a request that was beyond my imagination, my heart almost jumped and I felt that something was amiss.
This is because after these words were spoken, President Liu had even stopped. He panted a few times before raising his head again, revealing a pale and perspiring face in front of me. For a long while, he didn't say a word.
However, I couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but ask, ”Quickly tell me, what request did he make?”
After hearing my words, President Liu still did not immediately reply. Instead, he wiped his sweat and raised his head to look at the white paper that was stained with two ink spots, and a sour smile appeared on his face before he opened his mouth and said softly: ”He wants me to soak this Pi Xiu map in my blood every three days!”
”What?” I also thought it was strange. If such a good piece of paper were to be soaked in fresh blood every day, wouldn't it be completely deformed? Moreover, if I were to look at it now, other than a little yellow, would it not look alright?
President Liu laughed stiffly again: ”Not only that, he also said that I must hang this map in the most conspicuous place in the hall.”
”Is that why you thought of this?” I pointed to the piece of white paper, which meant that he had drawn the Meilan Swordbamboo on the other side.
The President Liu laughed bitterly, and nodded his head, then sighed: ”I know that I have made too much of a contribution, and furthermore, this Pi Xiu map has indeed given me many opportunities.”
I nodded. It seemed that his current position wasn't empty.
But just at this time, President Liu's face became bitter again, almost tearing up. He shook his head and started speaking in a low voice.
At the start, President Liu had followed the expert's instructions and used fresh blood to soak the paper once every three days. Moreover, the strangest thing was, no matter how much blood was used, it would at most take half a night for the paper to completely disappear, as if it was truly absorbed by the Pi Xiu Map.
Although President Liu was shocked, ever since he had obtained the Pi Xiu Diagram, his career had been extremely smooth sailing. Even when he happened to meet an opponent, the opponent would withdraw from the competition due to various strange reasons.
It was also because of this that President Liu had become a buddha who killed buddhas in his career as a official. In just a few short years, he climbed from the position of principal and vice principal.
Seeing this situation, the President Liu, who had always been working hard on the Pi Xiu, paid extra attention to it. For the past few years, he had never stopped.
However, just a few days ago, because of the incident with Lanlan and the others, President Liu had become extremely anxious.
Furthermore, from that day on, President Liu would always have nightmares and his work would no longer be in its proper place. Even the Principal, who always trusted him, had a huge opinion of him.
”Wait a minute, let me interrupt”, when President Liu said this, I suddenly thought of a crucial point, so I interrupted: ”If the words Pi Xiu are true, then what about the Pi Xiu you placed outside?”
After President Liu heard this, his body stiffened, and he then told me that ever since he forgot to immerse his body in the blood for the Pi Xiu, the Pi Xiu in the painting disappeared and was replaced by a completely black statue of a Pi Xiu.
Hearing this, I sucked in a breath of cold air, my shock reaching its peak. At the same time, I understood the fear in President Liu's heart after seeing this scene.
Following that, President Liu also told me that when he discovered that there was suddenly a Pi Xiu statue in his house, not only was he not happy, he had also thought of a way to take it away, throw it over, smash it. But, no matter how President Liu took care of it, the Pi Xiu statue seemed to be standing at his house like a ghost, and there were even a few times when President Liu stayed at a hotel.
After tormenting himself for a while, President Liu finally gave up on struggling. It was only when he met me that he started to think about how to deal with the Pi Xiu.
Furthermore, reality proved that this time, I have truly solved this Pi Xiu's problem.
After saying all that, President Liu became much more relaxed. He heaved a long sigh of relief and a relaxed smile hung on his face.
