Nailhead Seven Arrows
The next morning, in the Ryu family's hall, Picea Salifolia sat at the head of the table. Below him were the other members of the Ryu family.
Picea Salifolia first glanced at the people below. He picked up the teacup next to his right hand, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "Everyone did a good job yesterday. You showed the power of the Tang dynasty and the momentum of the Ryu family. You didn't lose face for the human race. Well, that's not bad."
"That's what we should do," said Ryu Xunhe, the Grand Elder of the Ryu family, who was seated below Picea Salifolia. "It's a pity that three of them ran away, otherwise …"
"Shut up!" Picea Salifolia suddenly shouted and smashed the teacup on the ground, interrupting Liu Xunhe's words. Picea Salifolia furrowed his brows as he looked at Liu Xunhe and the others. He pointed to the top of his head and said solemnly, "Is that person's decision something you can judge?"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. They subconsciously looked towards the door, as if they were afraid that someone would rush in.
Liu Xunhe, who had just spoken, turned pale. He knelt down in front of Picea Salifolia and said in a trembling voice, "Ancestor, I didn't expect that, that, that …"
"Alright." Picea Salifolia took a new cup of tea from the maid beside him and glanced at Liu Xunhe indifferently. He slowly said, "That person is unlikely to touch our Ryu family over such a small matter. But everyone, don't be too presumptuous. Don't forget … haha."
After speaking, Picea Salifolia gently blew on the tea in his hand and took a sip. He then looked at Liu Zhang, who hadn't said a word all this time, and said in a kind voice, "In the end, it's all because you raised a good daughter."
After hearing Picea Salifolia's words, everyone looked at Liu Zhang with envy and jealousy. One had to know that Liu Yunshan was the sky, the earth, and the authority in the Liu family! He had never been so kind to anyone before. He even called Liu Zhang "Zhang 'er", which showed how much Picea Salifolia relied on Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang didn't care about the gazes from all around him. Instead, he hurriedly stood up and looked at Picea Salifolia with a hint of unease. "Ancestor, Xu 'er's fate has been full of misfortune since she was young. If … if … according to the rumors, that person is …"
"Sit down." Waving his hand, Picea Salifolia gestured for Liu Zhang to sit down. Then, he gently persuaded, "What are you worried about? To put it bluntly, even if that person wanted to use force, our Liu Family could only respectfully send him out and even have to put on a smiling face. If that person was really as powerful as the legends said, why would they need to go through so much trouble? Furthermore, what do you think of his attitude towards Xu 'er? "
After hearing Picea Salifolia's explanation, Liu Zhang nodded in relief and slowly sat down. He only said one word, "Okay!"
"Then that's it!" Picea Salifolia smiled happily. Then, he looked at everyone present and said, "These words came from my mouth. I don't want this to spread and the whole world to know about it. Do you hear me? From now on, pretend that you don't know about this matter and let nature take its course. "
"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.
Picea Salifolia smiled and drank his tea. That smile could be described as a triumphant one. How could Picea Salifolia not be happy when he was about to become relatives with the Tang dynasty? Even the other members of the Ryu family were overjoyed when they heard about this. This was really a case of 'when a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'. If Willow Catkin became the concubine of the Prince Of Tang, they would also receive a lot of benefits.
After pondering for a while, Picea Salifolia slowly said, "Everyone, with the help of the imperial court, our battle yesterday could be said to be brilliant. However, there was one person who, although his cultivation wasn't very high, could be said to be brave and good at fighting. He wholeheartedly fought for the Ryu family. Did anyone notice? "
"This?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. After thinking for a while, they all shook their heads.
"Eh? That's your fault. How could you not notice such a talent? " Picea Salifolia said seriously, "It's the servant who protected Xu 'er and cut off one of the Wu people's prince's arms. Tang, Tang … Shi. Everyone, what reward should we give him? "
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized. Although the ancestor said to let nature take its course, he was actually secretly adding fuel to the fire.
"This … Ancestor," Liu Zhang stood up again and hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard from Xu 'er that, that servant seems to be called Tang Jin."
"Ah?"
Picea Salifolia was depressed. He purposely hesitated and called out Tang Jin's alias, afraid that he would accidentally call out Tang Jin's identity. He didn't expect that Tang Jin had already told them Willow Catkin's real name.
After thinking for a while, Picea Salifolia said, "Oh, right, right, I remembered wrong. He's called Tang Jin. Then, how should we reward this Tang Jin? "
The hall fell into silence. No one spoke. What a joke. Reward this master Prince Of Tang? Even if you gave the entire Ryu family to him, he might not even want it. No, that might not be the case. Didn't the Ryu family still have Willow Catkin …
"Ahem." At this moment, Liu Zhang, Willow Catkin's father and possibly Wang Ye's father-in-law in the Tang dynasty, stood up and cupped his hands to Picea Salifolia. Then, he glanced at everyone and said, "In my opinion, our Ryu family's chief steward, Liu Quan, is getting old. There are many things that he can't do. Let him enjoy a few years of peace. The vacant position will be given to Tang Jin. "
"Good, good idea!"
After hearing Liu Zhang's suggestion, everyone present agreed. However, they were cursing in their hearts. How shameless! Liu Quan is at the Dongxu stage and is only 800 years old. Old? Unable to do what he wants? Bah!
However, everyone only thought about it in their hearts. They might have dared to talk back in the past, but who was Liu Zhang now? He was the future father-in-law of the King Of Heaven! Who would dare to provoke him? He must be tired of living!
Even Picea Salifolia clapped his hands and chuckled, "Okay, then we will do as Zhang 'er suggested. This afternoon, we will officially appoint Tang Jin as our Ryu family's chief steward. Zhang 'er, go and inform Liu Quan to pack up and give up his Wangqing courtyard. "
Liu Xunhe, who had just been taught a lesson, quickly stood up and suggested to Picea Salifolia, "Ancestor, I remember that the Tingxue Pavilion next to Xu 'er's courtyard is still empty. Why don't we …"
"Okay!" Picea Salifolia clapped his hands, "Let's do that!"
Tang Jin did not know that the Ryu family was currently holding a meeting to matchmake him and Willow Catkin.
At this moment, Tang Jin was standing in front of an altar made of Soul Guiding Stone. The altar was engraved with dense and mysterious patterns. There was a small flame in the center of the altar. It was formed by the Soul Core!
The Soul Guiding Stone and the Soul Core were both extremely precious materials. Even with Jixianwei's ability, it took him a lot of effort to find them. Fortunately, these two things could be used multiple times, so Tang Jin did not have to spend the effort to find the materials every time.
Tang Jin held a straw doll made of Soul-Searching Grass in his left hand. His right thumb tapped on the blood red cinnabar that he had prepared earlier and wrote "Wu Zhi" on the front of the straw doll. Then, he picked up the left hand of Wu Zhi that Tang Jin had picked up yesterday and placed it on the altar.
To use the Nailhead Seven Arrows, one had to have the opponent's flesh or blood. At the very least, it had to be a hair sacrifice. Of course, the higher the quality of the sacrifice, the better the effect of the technique. Like Tang Jin, who had the opponent's entire left hand, there was basically no possibility of failure in the technique.
After everything was ready, Tang Jin threw the straw doll with Wu Zhi's name on it onto the altar. Then, he formed a seal with his hands and started to walk around the altar. His body kept circling around the altar while he chanted.
The straw doll landed on top of the altar. Surprisingly, it did not fall down. Instead, it kept floating and spinning above the altar.
As Tang Jin made a series of hand seals, a red light emerged from Tang Jin's forehead and shone on the altar. The altar seemed to have been activated. The mysterious patterns on it started to spin and actually melted Wu Zhi's left hand, turning it into blood red lines that drilled into the straw doll.
"Nailhead Seven Arrows!"
Seven scarlet rays of light suddenly shot out from Tang Jin's forehead and drilled into the scarlet straw doll on the altar.
The seven scarlet rays of light entered the straw doll. In an instant, the straw doll seemed to have turned into an extremely small person. It had flesh and blood, and its eyes were tightly shut. Taking a closer look, who else could it be if it was not a miniature version of Wu Zhi?!
After the miniature person was formed, Tang Jin's expression became solemn. He put his palms together and bowed to the miniature person!
At the same time, a purplish red halo appeared behind Tang Jin. A five-clawed golden dragon rushed out from Tang Jin's body and circled around Tang Jin. A lightning pattern flashed on Tang Jin's forehead and the blood in his body started to boil.
Thousands of miles away, the unconscious Wu Zhi suddenly sat up, scaring Gumbo and Wu Zhi who were guarding him. "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, what happened to you?"
Pu!
Wu Zhi's eyes were lifeless. His pale face turned ashen and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
"This, this … What happened to the Ninth Prince?! How could this be?! "Gumbo hurriedly sent his spiritual energy into Tang Jin's body, but he did not find anything.
Joubo was also confused. Seeing that Gumbo's spiritual energy did not work, he sent his own divine sense into Tang Jin's body. With this, Joubo's expression changed greatly!
"Not good! His Highness's soul has been damaged and is about to scatter! "Joubo anxiously shouted to Gumbo.
Gumbo was also dumbfounded. "Wasn't he fine just now? Why did it suddenly become like this? Did His Highness fall under some kind of evil spell? "
"Evil spell? Evil spell? " Joubo muttered to himself. His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Gumbo. They exclaimed in unison, "Heaven Deceiving Nail! Nailhead Seven Arrows! "
