Half a Brick
Chapter 77 Mask
Then came the killing and silencing. The old man, together with his chess friend, first beat the two poor female ghosts to pieces. While the chess friend was expressing his admiration for the old man's years of hypocrisy, the old man also killed the chess friend.
Of course, the credit for killing the chess friend was attributed to the second and third female ghosts.
The specific details were nothing more than the two of them being ambushed by Rakshasi's disciple while playing chess, the two of them falling into a bitter fight, the chess friend gloriously dying in battle, and himself being extremely grief-stricken, unleashing his primordial power, and finally successfully eliminating both female ghosts.
In short, the old man once again became a hero.
At this point, Rakshasi had lost three disciples, while Qin Tianming's side had only lost someone who knew how to play chess, so it could be said that the situation had become even more unfavorable for Rakshasi.
Rakshasi was a very persistent person. Once she thought of a good plan, she would definitely carry it out to the end. All the mistakes were due to not grasping the details well enough. The guiding ideology of forcing the old man to submit was still correct.
An excellent plan might fail once or twice due to poor control of details, but it would not fail three or four times. With the experience and lessons of the previous two times, Rakshasi believed that the fourth time would definitely be successful.
So, Rakshasi took the fourth oldest down from the fire rack. After instructing the fourth oldest on all the details, she forced the fourth oldest to take care of the old man.
As long as the old man was taken care of, he could be forced to sneak attack Qin Tianming. Then, with internal and external cooperation, she would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.
Rakshasi had already lost three disciples. The fourth oldest shuddered at the name of the old man. How could she dare to go? She cried and begged Rakshasi to let her go.
Rakshasi flew into a rage and roared that if the fourth oldest did not take care of the old man, she would directly eat the fourth oldest.
The fourth oldest was trembling all over and had already collapsed to the ground. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but she really couldn't even walk.
Rakshasi swung her whip and beat the fourth oldest frantically, scolding her for being useless, forcing her to get up and take care of the old man. If she didn't listen, she would directly eat the fourth oldest.
Under the dual torment of spirit and body, the fourth oldest was on her last breath. Rakshasi saw that this disciple was really useless, and in a fit of anger, she really ate the fourth oldest.
Rakshasi was also on edge, her mind clouded by anger. Because she had said too many times that she would eat her when she was threatening the fourth oldest, she acted impulsively and ate the fourth oldest. She regretted it after eating her.
The fourth oldest had cultivated the Jade Maiden Divine Skill, and was full of the aura of the Jade Maiden. Rakshasi eating her was no different from cultivating the Jade Maiden Divine Skill herself. Her strength instantly increased dozens of times, and Qin Tianming was no longer her opponent.
Next was Rakshasi's search for Qin Tianming and the massacre of Stonehold Village.
However, Rakshasi did not win because of this.
When Qin Tianming was in desperate straits, the old man once again stepped forward. Relying on his previous experience of taking care of two Rakshasi disciples, he carried his spear and set off towards Rakshasi's true form.
In the end, the old, ugly, numb, and bald old man enjoyed the most top-notch female ghost, and also successfully absorbed the female ghost's power.
At this moment, the old man finally felt that his life was complete and without any regrets. So, he ended his life with a sword, and fell to the ground in Stonehold Village with a smile.
Rakshasi was finally killed. The old man and Qin Tianming both became heroes. Qin Tianming had a monument erected for the old man in Stonehold Village, and also found someone to save the souls of the dead in Stonehold Village, and then left.
They thought that Rakshasi had been completely eliminated, and that everything related to Rakshasi no longer existed. However, what they didn't know was that under the old man's monument, the fourth oldest's devoured soul and the fetus conceived in Rakshasi's body were preserved. They absorbed resentment and nourished themselves in Stonehold Village, slowly taking shape. Three years later, not only was Rakshasi's child born, but the fourth oldest's soul was also reborn.
The fourth oldest hated Rakshasi, so she vented all her resentment on Rakshasi's child, taking pleasure in bullying Rakshasi's child every day. Rakshasi's child was no match for the fourth oldest, so in order to protect herself, she could only escape far away.
However, the fourth oldest did not give up, and after tracking down the whereabouts of Rakshasi's daughter, she chased after her again.
"Now, my whereabouts have been exposed, and the fourth oldest is coming to take my life. Go and help me get rid of the fourth oldest," Rakshasi Mei said.
"Wait, don't worry. Your story is a bit long, I have to sort it out first." I wasn't in a hurry to give her an answer.
"What do you mean? Do you think there's something illogical about my story?" Rakshasi Mei was clearly dissatisfied with my reaction.
I said, "It's not that it's too illogical, I just don't understand Ding Kan. You're Rakshasi's daughter, and the people of Ding Kan's village all died at the hands of Rakshasi, and they all died a terrible death.
Ding Kan is such a vengeful person. He didn't let go of any of the three hundred people in Qin Tianming's team, and killed them all. But you, as Rakshasi's daughter, he can cooperate with you. Don't you think it's strange? You're the daughter of his enemy. The villagers of Stonehold Village died directly at the hands of Rakshasi."
"I can't answer that question for you. You should go and ask Ding Kan yourself," Rakshasi Mei said.
I frowned and said, "That's not a very good suggestion. If Ding Kan could answer my questions now, would I still be here looking for you?"
"I can only answer the questions I know. I don't know this, so I can't answer it. Maybe Ding Kan is too clear about his grievances. He knows that my mother's affairs have nothing to do with me. I haven't killed anyone in Stonehold Village, so he thinks it's okay to cooperate with me."
"No, no, still no," I muttered to myself.
"What's wrong? I think you just don't want to help me deal with the fourth oldest." Rakshasi Mei was already a little impatient.
I looked at Rakshasi Mei for a while, and suddenly smiled. Then, I picked up the mask that Rakshasi Mei had given me earlier, and flipped it over and over in my hand, playing with it.
Rakshasi Mei urged me several times, but I kept playing with the mask and didn't answer her question. Rakshasi Mei was a little anxious. She snatched the mask from my hand and threw it aside. "Are you done yet? Can't a grown man just say something straightforward?"
I wasn't angry, and picked up the mask again, and even put it on my face to try it out.
Then, I looked at Rakshasi Mei with a smile. "Are you really Rakshasi's daughter? Do you guarantee it?"
