Chapter 136: The Tough Assassin and the Power of Truth
At this time, the woman had her hands tied behind her back and could only kneel.
Qin Hao sat in front of him, looking down at the persistent assassin, and asked coldly: "Who asked you to kill me?"
Although Qin Hao had roughly guessed that it was Chu Yi or someone from the Demon Sect who wanted to kill him, he still had to ask in person for the sake of caution.
The woman named Mo Liusheng glanced at Qin Hao with disdain and said sarcastically, "I would rather die than betray my employer. Forget about it!"
Qin Hao tapped the table with his fingers and asked slowly, "Chu family?"
The woman turned her face away to show her determination.
Seeing this, Qin Hao picked up the dagger on the ground first, then walked towards the woman again, playing with the dagger up and down, and asked: "How is it?"
Facing Qin Hao's threat, the woman showed no fear at all. Instead, she looked calm and said, "Today, I have nothing to lose but death! I only regret that I was unable to get rid of you, this lewd creature!"
After hearing this, Qin Hao had no intention of exploring the content, but he could feel the other party's determination.
Well, it is not necessary to know who wants to buy my life. Since the other party is so tough, I will just give him a quick death.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao grasped the dagger and was about to kill him.
However, just as Qin Hao was about to take action, the dagger in his hand disappeared, and then he just slapped the woman in the face.
Qin Hao was silent.
Mo Liusheng glared at Qin Hao and said with gritted teeth: "You scumbag! I will kill you or chop you up, it's all up to you. Why do you have to insult others like this!"
Qin Hao had no intention of explaining, nor did he care about the dagger. Instead, he simply summoned out the two-meter-long Chenhuan Sword and held it high.
Seeing this exaggerated long sword up close, Mo Liusheng's eyes widened, and fear suddenly arose in his heart. He murmured: "No... No, this... This is too big, it will hurt to death..."
Then the woman's attitude suddenly changed. She touched her head to the ground and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I admit that my voice was a bit loud just now. I was wrong. I'll tell you everything. Please don't kill me with this sword."
"..."
Qin Hao's hand stopped in mid-air and he fell silent.
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the house.
Qin Hao put away his sword and said, "You have killed countless people, are you afraid of this?"
Mo Liusheng was angry in his heart, but on the surface he still said ingratiatingly: "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of pain... Boss, this thing is so big, I definitely can't bear it..."
Qin Hao pondered, and said casually: "I still like your unruly look."
Hearing this, the woman leaned back and knelt down again, pretending to be flattering and said, "Since you like it, why don't you untie me? I can show my unruly behavior again and make you happy."
Qin Hao had a blank expression on his face. "Don't you think you're very humorous?"
Facing Qin Hao's wise expression, the woman showed an awkward but polite smile, and said with a wry smile: "What are you talking about, big boss? It's too polite..."
Neither of them was talking.
Qin Hao was in deep thought, while Mo Liusheng was looking at the big sword and swallowing his saliva.
After a long while, Qin Hao finally spoke, "Who is it?"
In order to avoid the pain of being hacked alive, Mo Liusheng did not hesitate any longer. When he heard Qin Hao's question, he immediately said, "Chu family!"
After hearing this, Qin Hao thought to himself that this was just as he expected.
Then he confirmed: "Chu Yi?"
"Yes!"
Mo Liusheng gave an affirmative answer.
Hearing this, Qin Hao was even more confused. "He's already dead, why are you still chasing him here? What do you want?"
Hearing this, Mo Liusheng raised his head and chest, and said proudly: "I have my professional ethics! It is only natural to take money to do things!"
After hearing this, Qin Hao no longer had any thoughts of exploring the matter and went straight to find Yao Ji.
As an ancient person and the daughter of Emperor Yan, Yao Ji has sufficient experience and ability, so finding a method to control people should not be a problem for her.
This woman is quite capable and is more useful alive than dead.
When Yao Ji heard what Qin Hao asked, she knew what Qin Hao was going to do.
After pondering for a while, he still taught Qin Hao a technique to control others, called the "Underworld Wheel Soul-Binding Mother and Child Seal".
After this technique leaves a mark on someone, everything the other person is thinking will be known to the user. If the person resists, the user can directly seize control of the body, or even detonate the mark and kill the person.
This technique can be described as both overbearing and insidious.
Because of this, when Yao Ji taught Qin Hao this technique, she also specifically reminded him that this technique is harmful to the harmony of nature and should be used less.
Qin Hao naturally nodded in agreement, and then left the chaotic space.
After regaining consciousness, Qin Hao looked at the woman in front of him and without saying a word, he placed his hand on the top of her head.
Then, without waiting for its reaction, he immediately planted the "Underworld Wheel Soul-Binding Mother and Child Seal" into its body.
The moment the mark was planted, the other party's life and death was completely in Qin Hao's hands, and all his secrets were revealed to him without reservation.
In addition to all his past experiences, interpersonal relationships, and other secrets, Qin Hao also learned of his other special ability besides invisibility - truth.
Mantras have existed since ancient times, even earlier than the invention of writing by humans.
Rather than saying that humans created the mantra, it would be more accurate to say that humans evolved their own writing by referring to the "wen" (literature) in the world as a manifestation of Tao.
Words are a manifestation of the power of worldly laws.
When humans created words and realized the power of truth, they were imitating and learning from the power of this law.
The first person to materialize this power into written form was Cangjie, the ancestor of literature.
Inspired by heaven and earth, he made words concrete for the first time.
Words are in harmony with the great principles of heaven and earth; therefore, in the Xuanhuang Continent, words are powerful and they are the truth.
Among them, the most well-known and powerful is the nine-character mantra, namely - Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!
Each of these nine mantras has immense power, and can even be said to be the ultimate application of some kind of law-based power.
In the history of Xuanhuang Continent, the only person who collected all nine mantras was Li Shimin, the most famous Emperor Taizong of the Qiantang Dynasty.
He mastered the nine mantras and never lost a battle in his life. At the age of thirty, he reached the level of the Great Emperor, dominated the entire continent, and made people from all states submit to him.
If you want to master the truth, in addition to a specific opportunity, you also need to have a deep understanding of literature and the Tao, so that you have the possibility of mastering the truth.
After Li Shimin, his descendants were far less talented than him and gradually lost their grasp of the truth.
Therefore, after the fall of the Qiantang Dynasty, the Nine-Character Mantra was never collected again.
What Mo Liusheng mastered was the word "Xing" in the Nine-Character Mantra. His ability was to ignore all restrictions, barriers, and other such barriers and to travel freely.
Its strange ability of stealth, coupled with its ability to speak truth at any time, allows it to go anywhere as if it were in an empty space, and kill people without leaving any trace.
In this way, Qin Hao finally understood why there was no noise when he passed through the restrictions in the room.
