When Gu Qing slammed the door open, Pu Yuan was wearing glasses. He was looking at the laptop screen while copying data. The sound of the wooden door smashing against the metal door startled Pu Yuan, but the mottled blood on Gu Qing's face made him gape in shock.
"You…What happened to you?" Pu Yuan went up to support Gu Qing, who was already unsteady on her feet. He then realized that she was dragging a big dog covered in blood behind her.
" Help me..." Gu Qing panted heavily and wanted to drag Xuan Gang into the office. Pu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He dragged Xuan Gang in, then stuck his head out of the door to take a look before closing the door.
"Are you hurt? How did it end up like this? "I think we need to call an ambulance…" Pu Yuan took out his phone with a pale face.
"There's no time to explain. I urgently need to go online now.”Before Pu Yuan could finish, Gu Qing had already waved his hand to interrupt him. He quickly walked to his desk and closed the stock data interface on the computer.
Pu Yuan frowned and looked at the big dog on the ground. Xuangang's breathing was very weak, but it had stabilized. His abdomen was still twitching from time to time. He crouched down and gently undid the white coat that was wrapped around Xuangang. He was surprised to find that the two bloody holes had stopped bleeding. The red muscles inside the wounds were slowly squirming and gradually contracting toward the center.
On the other side, Gu Qing was using her memory to type in an internet address on the browser, but she couldn't open the page no matter how hard she tried. She anxiously rubbed her eyes with her palm for a while before realizing that she seemed to have memorized the letter N as M.
After fixing it, the page of the Beast Soul Atlas appeared on the screen. Pu Yuan slowly walked behind Gu Qing and quietly watched everything she did.
Gu Qing typed furiously on the keyboard, wrote " chisel " in the text input box, and pressed enter.
Suddenly, Gu Qing exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hand, as if something had pricked her. Then, she slowly moved her hand away, and her lips opened and closed quickly. She repeated something in her heart, then grabbed the phone on the table and began to call Yuwen's phone.
Pu Yuan bent down and put his head in front of the laptop. A portrait of a werewolf with muscles all over its body appeared on the LCD screen. The werewolf had its mouth wide open and was waving a large shield. A pair of huge canine teeth protruded from its upper jaw and pierced through its lower jaw. It was raised high and its length exceeded its relaxed arm. There was a short line of text beside the ink painting.
Chisel teeth, fierce demon, holding a copper shield, animal head, human body, can not enter the five elements, there are teeth half a foot, its sharp edge can cut the underworld!
Gu Qing picked up Yuwen's phone and read the line of text in a heavy tone.
"Not entering the five elements?" Yuwen turned pale with fright." I was just asking Liu Tianming to test the attributes of the chisel tooth…If the chisel tooth doesn't enter the five elements, then he's now…"
Now, Liu Tianming had suffered a crushing defeat.
Not only was the half-foot-long icicle unable to pierce through the chiseltooth, it was even shattered by its iron-like body. The sharp shards of ice immediately cut Liu Tianming's palm.
Liu Tianming endured the pain in his palm and adjusted his falling posture. However, when he landed, he still staggered and fell to the ground. The terrifying chisel-like teeth could actually rotate its head as freely as its arms. Its body did not move, but its head turned 180 degrees. It faced Liu Tianming and revealed a ferocious smile. Then, its long teeth slashed diagonally in the air, and the white fog that filled the cold storage suddenly retreated to both sides.
Fortunately, Liu Tianming was a martial artist, so his waist was quite flexible. He leaned back with all his might and watched as Long Fang brushed past him.
" Slash…" Liu Tianming's chest and abdomen were slashed with two deep and long bloody lines. His stomach was almost cut open. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly turned around and fled, escaping from the cold storage like a frightened bird. Chiseltooth didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up with Liu Tianming. It waved its long teeth and chopped a few more pieces of pork into pieces before walking toward the exit unhurriedly.
Liu Tianming rushed out of the kitchen and panted as he hid in the dark banquet hall. The icicles in his palm gradually melted and slid out with blood. Liu Tianming gritted his teeth and wiped his palm on the tablecloth a few times. He then tore off his torn jacket and wrapped it around his bleeding chest and abdomen twice. When Liu Tianming tightened the knot, the pain from his hands and abdomen made his forehead sweat like rain. However, he did not dare to make a sound, afraid that the chisel teeth would hear him.
However, the phone in his arms rang at an inappropriate time. The ringing sound was extremely ear-piercing in this empty hall. Liu Tianming hurriedly picked up the phone, but his eyes kept staring at the entrance of the hall. Chiseltooth had probably heard the bell and would break in at any time.
"Liu Tianming, how are you now?" It was Yuwen's anxious voice.
"Are you trying to kill me? Don't fucking call me again!”Tianming Liu said in a low voice.
" Run! Chiseltooth is a monster that has yet to enter the Five Elements. Attacks like water and fire are useless…"
"Isn't it a little too late to say it now?”Liu Tianming mumbled and hung up before Yuwen could finish.
Yuwen listened to the busy tone on the phone and was stunned for a while. He didn't know what the current situation was, so he didn't dare to call back. He had to contact Gu Qing again.
"Gu Qing, Xuangang has a special constitution. As long as he is not dead, his injuries will recover very quickly. When he wakes up, you can let him go to save Liu Tianming.”
"That's great!" Hearing that Xuan Gang would not die and Liu Tianming was temporarily fine, Gu Qing felt much better." But, what should we do now?" Even if we all escape, letting this monster Chiseltooth walk out of the building will definitely hurt many innocent people. Although you said that we can't call the police, and the more people there are, the more casualties there will be, shouldn't we let the police lock down the building now?”
" No!" Pu Yuan suddenly interrupted," No, we can't let the police seal the building!"”
"Who's that?" Yuwen asked warily.
"It's Chairman Pu Yuan. I'm in his office now.”
"Why is he here? Forget it, let's not talk about this now. I don't want the police to seal the building either…If the chisel tooth really wants to come out, even if we seal it, we can't!”
The voice on the phone was very loud. Pu Yuan also heard Yuwen's opinion. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"But now…does this chisel tooth really not have any weaknesses?”
" Nothing is absolute. Not entering the five elements doesn't mean that the chiseltooth has no weakness. The problem is how we find its weakness…There are many records about the chiseltooth in ancient books. The most famous record is the overseas southern scripture in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It says," Yi fought with the chiseltooth in the wilderness of Shouhua, and Yi shot him dead. In the east of Kunlun Mountain. Yi holds the bow and arrow, and Chiseltooth holds the shield." The Yi mentioned here was the ancient hero Hou Yi who shot down the nine suns.”
"You mean there are records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?”Gu Qing changed the phone to hands-free mode, freed his hands, and began to quickly search for the Classic of Mountains and Seas on the computer through the Internet.
" Hmm…It was also mentioned in Huainanzi." Yao sent Yi to kill Chisel in the wilderness of Shouhua.”Yao was the emperor at that time. However, none of these records mentioned how Yi had killed Chiseltooth. The only clue was that Hou Yi had used a bow and arrow.”
"The Guanxiong Kingdom is in the east of it, and its people have holes in their chests…The Jiaojing Kingdom is in the east of it, and it's called the Great Jiaojing Kingdom…The Undead People are in the east of it, and its people are black, long, and immortal…What are these things? Other than the sentence about Yi and Chiseltooth fighting in the wilderness of longevity, the rest was simply baffling!”Gu Qing had already found the Overseas Southern Classics on the Internet, but after reading it twice, he still could not make heads or tails of it.
"Hehe…My master also said that in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of Mountains is a proper geographical work, but the Classic of Oceans and the Classic of Desolation are mostly unreasonable and nonsensical.”
"How can you still laugh at a time like this? Why didn't you ask your master to save us?”Gu Qing questioned loudly.
Yuwen immediately shut his mouth.
"That's right…I occasionally read some ancient books, and all kinds of myths and legends are often misinterpreted. It's very easy for the later generations to misunderstand the records of the ancient books based on their own rough understanding. Many people say that the Sea Scripture and the Desolate Scripture are also geographical descriptions, but I'm very skeptical.”The one who interrupted was Pu Yuan, who was standing at the side. Gu Qing looked at him in shock. He did not expect that this chairman of the business world would also have studied an ancient book like the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
"Oh? Chairman Pu also knows ancient books?" Yuwen was no less surprised than Gu Qing.
" Here…I've also read the section about the Chiseled Teeth in the Overseas Southern Classics over and over again. There are some strange explanations before and after this section, such as that the Guanxiong Kingdom is in the east and the Jiaojin Kingdom is in the east. However, the explanations are vague and seem to be geographical directions like the Xiangshan Sutra. However, it is too abrupt to suddenly include a clear description of the war, such as 'Yi and the Chiseled Teeth fought in the Shouhua Wild'.”Pu Yuan said these few words and fell into deep thought.
Gu Qing quickly read the sixth volume of the Overseas Southern Classics again and suddenly asked Yuwen a question,""Yuwen, when did writing first appear?”
"This……currently, the more common saying is that Cangjie created the characters. This saying has been widely spread since the Warring States Period. Why are you asking this?" Yuwen was very surprised.
"What era is Cangjie from?”Gu Qing asked.
"It is said that Cangjie was the historian of the Yellow Emperor, and Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were the ancestors of the Chinese people.”Pu Yuan answered on behalf of Yuwen.
"Then after the Yellow Emperor, it would be Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang, right?”
"That's right. Did you think of something?" Yuwen's voice also became a little excited.
"I'm just guessing. Don't laugh at me if I tell you." Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said.”
"Hurry up and say it!" Yuwen urged.
"Houyi was from Emperor Yao's era, right? It wasn't long after Cangjie created the characters in that era, so the characters weren't popular yet. If people in that era needed to record something, what method do you think they would choose?”
"Painting! Or a painting with a few words!”Pu Yuan said with certainty.
"Yes! Houyi's battle against Chisel Teeth was recorded in a picture, and the sixth volume of the Overseas Southern Classics was probably written in pure text by some historians in the later generations after seeing that picture. Director Pu felt that the writing of the Overseas Southern Classics was very strange because it was not a geographical book at all. The entire volume six of the Overseas Southern Classics was an explanation of the picture of Hou Yi fighting against the chisel!”
Gu Qing's novel words shocked Yuwen and Pu Yuan at the same time. It took them a while to recover.
"Are you saying that those historians are all muddle-headed? They took a comic and thought it was a map?”Yuwen asked.
"That's possible! The paintings of the ancients were not as detailed as today's. Most of them were drawn with simple lines like hieroglyphic characters. The parts recorded in the Mountain Scripture were indeed maps, so the historians took it for granted that the Sea Scripture and the Desolate Scripture were also maps.”Pu Yuan felt that this statement was somewhat believable.
"If you look at it this way, these messy words make sense. Guan Hun was to the east of the painting, and the man had a hole in his chest…In the ancient text, the chest was the chest of the chest. This did not mean that there was a country called Guan Hun, but that on the east side of the painting, there was a man whose chest had been pierced. The Jiaojing Kingdom was to the east of it, and it was known as the Great Jiaojing Kingdom…This did not mean that there was a Jiaojing Kingdom, but it was a description of Hou Yi's posture of drawing the bow and shooting arrows with one leg forward and one leg backward. The Undead were to the east of it, and they were black in color, long in life, and immortal…These should be the single words inserted in the picture to describe the image of Chiseltooth. Wasn't Chiseltooth black all over and unkillable no matter how they were beaten? As for the Yu Republic mentioned at the beginning of the article, Nanshan is in the southeast, and so on. It's probably a description of the time and place of this incident. I remember that in the myths, the sun is often said to be a three-legged crow. Only Yi and Chiseltooth fought in the wilderness of Shouhua, and Yi shot him dead. In the east of Kunlun Mountain. Yi holds the bow and arrow, and Chiseltooth holds the shield." This sentence was copied from the original picture without any distortion. This sentence should be the title of this picture!”Gu Qing said a lot in one breath.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Yuwen's excited voice came through," Therefore, even though the black-furred Chiseltooth was impenetrable, it still had to use its shield to protect its chest. In the end, Hou Yi still used his divine arrow to pierce through its heart and kill Chiseltooth! Gu Qing, the historian who wrote the Classic of Mountains and Seas was a fool, but you are the smartest girl I have ever seen!”After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone and probably went to contact Liu Tianming again.
Gu Qing finally heaved a sigh of relief. She listened to the movements upstairs. Not long ago, she had vaguely heard the sound of objects being smashed and the roar of the chisel echoed in her ears from time to time. Now, it was completely quiet. She did not know where Liu Tianming had led the chisel.
"What exactly happened?" Pu Yuan had been kept in the dark. Now that he saw Gu Qing's expression soften, he had the chance to raise his question.
Gu Qing switched the webpage on the computer to the page of the Beast Spirit Atlas and pointed at the ferocious portrait of the chisel teeth. He said,"You might not believe it, but this monster that suddenly appeared chased me and Liu Tianming all the way and even stabbed the big dog Xuangang. Liu Tianming lured the monster away to save me. I dragged Xuangang to the elevator and wanted to go down to the first floor, but the elevator didn't listen to me. I climbed to the twenty-third floor and was stuck on your floor after opening the door. The street lights on your floor weren't turned on. I saw the light coming from your office door, so I dragged Xuangang over.”
Pu Yuan looked at the LCD screen in disbelief. Was there really a monster in this building? If he hadn't been too engrossed in his work today, he wouldn't have stayed here until now. Fortunately, he didn't meet the monster that Gu Qing mentioned…
Xuan Gang, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. Gu Qing was delighted and quickly ran over to hug Xuan Gang's neck. Xuan Gang licked Gu Qing's arm as if to comfort her. Gu Qing reached out to touch Xuangang's wound. Although the blood had not dried yet, the wound had completely healed! Gu Qing thought in surprise, what is the identity of this Xuan Gang? Like Yuwen, it was a strange guy with a mysterious body…
"Yuwen asked you to save Liu Tianming, but your wound has just healed.”Gu Qing whispered into Xuan Gang's ear, not sure if he understood. Xuan Gang's ears perked up. He immediately broke free from Gu Qing's embrace and ran to the door. He knocked his head on the wooden door gently. Gu Qing walked over and opened the door. Xuan Gang dashed into the darkness outside the door. His agile running movements did not look like he had just recovered from serious injuries. Gu Qing sighed softly and closed the door. There seemed to be nothing else to do except wait. Everything was left to Xuan Gang and Liu Tianming.
"You look very tired now. Why don't you lie down on my sofa?" Pu Yuan walked to Gu Qing's side and said.”Gu Qing nodded, feeling a little dizzy.
In Pu Yuan's office, there was only a small lamp on the office table. The rest of the lighting was not turned on. The furnishings in the room were all dark. Pu Yuan was afraid that Gu Qing could not see where the sofa was, so he reached out to help Gu Qing walk to his sofa.
Gu Qing slowly walked into the depths of the room and gradually saw the sofa placed against the wall. The strange thing was that behind the back of the sofa, there were three faint shadows. Why were the three of them placed side by side? Gu Qing muttered in his heart. When she walked to the sofa and took a closer look, Gu Qing's heart stopped beating!
Those were not clothes racks, they were three dead bodies!
A strong electric current flashed past the window, and Gu Qing immediately saw the three bodies of two men and a woman standing behind the sofa in a strange posture. The man on the left had his face cut by a sharp weapon, and there was a big bloody hole in his stomach. The man on the right had his head chopped off and was lying on his shoulder. Only a little muscle was still attached to his neck. The two eyeballs of the female corpse in the middle had disappeared. There were only two deep black holes left on her purplish-purple face. Looking at the familiar fat body, it was the missing Zhu Ling!
Gu Qing felt the world spinning in front of him. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound. Her body went limp and she slipped onto the sofa…
