Chapter 291 Sister Drum

The light of the sword flickered in the dim light, and then the sharp sound of iron colliding was heard, followed by sparks.

The screams came one after another, terrifying in this dark room.

Many thieves were frightened and fled in all directions, looking for a way out.

After all, we are all ordinary people, and it is our instinct to be afraid of death. It is difficult to see clearly in this dim place, and going there at the risk of our lives would be tantamount to seeking death.

Everyone has only one life, and no one wants to die after eating, drinking, and having fun. As the old saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life.

So when the courage is gone, people naturally become afraid and panic.

The noise continued, but only a few people were still fighting desperately.

Chang Wei's brothers are brothers after all, and they are quite capable. Even when fighting with those three people and Chang Wei, they did not lose for a while.

The underground dark room was filled with the sparks from weapons, and only Li Daoxuan was standing aside quietly watching the monk.

The monk's face was filled with anger at the moment, and that evil and handsome face showed embarrassment.

I thought I had everything under control, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen before the sacrifice. A few traitors were allowed in, and now there is chaos within the Joy Society.

After half a year of careful preparation, success or failure only takes a moment. If you say that there is no energy, then that is naturally possible.

But now that things have come to this, the monk can only think about making up for his mistake.

He sat in front of the wooden fish, holding the wooden stick and watching the fight on the field. After a long time, he asked slowly: "Chang Wei, I treat you well on weekdays and provide you with food, clothing and other necessities. Why do you want to betray me?"

Hearing what the monk said, Chang Wei held up his knife and spread out the two brothers' moves, then looked at the monk and laughed, "I grew up eating at many people's homes and received many favors from them. You monk, you say that I betrayed you, but that's not true."

"Everything you did in Yangzhou was done with the help of me and my brothers, but you are not grateful and always make things difficult for us brothers. Let me ask you, you knew that you were in big trouble in Yangzhou, why did you send me and my second brother? The Taoist priest must have some skills to scare you here. It would be fine if you didn't give us two brothers the treasure to protect ourselves, but you also let us two brothers go to Yangzhou to be scapegoats for you. Can you tell me, what's going on?"

Chang Wei's words were so reasonable that the monk frowned. After all, what he said made sense, and it was difficult for the monk to find any reason. He could only bite the bullet and defend himself: "Of course I know about this, but you and your second brother are people I trust, so I will naturally send you two. And there are rules in the Xuanmen. Ordinary people cannot hurt those who are not vicious. You two brothers are not from the Xuanmen, so the Taoist priest will definitely not cause trouble for you."

"Bah!" Chang Wei cursed, "Are the injuries on my body fake? You, a monk, have bad intentions and slapped me when you came back. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet a noble person, I would have died here in a few days. What you did is really ungrateful."

"You!" The monk was furious, pointing at Chang Weiyu and saying something, then his face suddenly changed color as if he had thought of something, "What did you just say? You said you met a noble person?!"

"Of course, I met a noble person, otherwise how could I leave Yangzhou? I can stand here, of course there is a way. Your little thoughts have already been seen through by the noble person." Chang Wei smiled and rubbed the wound on his body.

Those were the injuries left by the monk, and they have not yet healed.

Hearing this, the monk laughed in anger. He looked around and said coldly, "Well, well, I never thought that I have raised you for so long, but you turned out to be such an ungrateful person. Since this is the case today, let's end it now. Let your benefactor see that I am not someone to be trifled with."

The monk reached into his bosom and pulled out a palm-sized drum with a face printed on it.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying this, the monk tapped the drum lightly, and the people around him felt weak all over, and they could not exert any strength.

When Chang Wei heard the voice, his legs immediately dropped to his knees, and his entire body and bones went limp. He had no strength at all, as if all his energy had been drained away, and he felt exhausted.

He was shocked and wanted to struggle, but he heard the monk continue to say: "Don't struggle anymore, this thing is a Tantric instrument, it came from the Tibetan holy land, it will make you feel powerless and you can't resist at all. You can see this treasure of mine today, you can be considered to have died a worthy death." Tantric instrument? Li Daoxuan, who was standing aside, stared at the drum. There was a clear human face on it, but it had already been made into a drum head.

Looking around carefully again, Li Daoxuan was shocked.

He had heard of this drum and had also seen it in the book left by Taoist Taiping.

This kind of drum is a ritual instrument of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and is called sister drum. Girls aged five to ten are chosen and raised in the Tantric Buddhism, and are fed with vegetarian meals. When they reach the right age, suitable people are chosen and their skins are peeled off to make drums.

The skinning process also requires some skills, the animal must be alive and intact.

It is hard to imagine how cruel it was to make such a magical weapon.

Even the Taoist priests of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, upon hearing about this magical instrument, refuted the evil technique in their book. This shows how despised the Sister Drum was.

But that place is, after all, a high land that is beyond the reach of the Central Plains Xuanmen, and Tantric Buddhism is the holy sect of Tibet, so it is difficult for anyone to refute it.

Li Daoxuan didn't expect that during his trip to Yangzhou, he would actually see such an extremely evil magical weapon. It was really an eye-opener for him.

One beat of this sister drum can destroy a person's strength, two beats can calm a person's spirit, and three beats can capture a person's soul.

However, those who can knock three times are only a minority, and most of them are living Buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism. Knocking twice is already a great achievement, so monks are not living Buddhas.

In this case, this drum was probably used to save his life, and now it has to be taken out without any alternative.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan made up his mind.

He is not in physical body now, so the sister drum is of no use to him. He just listens to the tinkling sound and plays it as a musical instrument.

Seeing the monk coming down, he secretly took out a yellow talisman and stuck it behind Chang Wei, muttering a few spells.

Then he whispered in Chang Wei's ear to tell him not to act rashly.

"I will get rid of your bad habit. Don't disturb the monk. When he comes closer, I will settle the score with him."

Chang Wei didn't say anything after hearing what Li Daoxuan said, but just nodded his head slightly.

I heard footsteps and saw the monk approaching.

"Chang Wei, I am very disappointed in you." The monk stood in front of Chang Wei, lifted his chin with his foot, and looked into his eyes, which were bright in the dark. "You are the one I have chosen. You can become an Arhat even if you go to paradise. But now you have listened to the evil words of others and betrayed me. This makes me feel depressed."

"What a pity! You are such a good fighter, but you will be defeated by this poor monk today."

As the monk spoke, he took out a long sword from the side, walked in front of Chang Wei, put it against his neck, and was about to stab him.

At this time, the voices of two brothers came from not far away.

"Master! Please don't hurt my fourth brother!"

"Master, please spare my fourth brother. We will definitely do our best to assist you in achieving your great cause!"
