HPDBC Chapter 151 The Remaining 5 Lost Forbidden Items
Chapter 151 The Remaining 5 Lost Forbidden Items
South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.
Jiang Chaosheng sat at the counter, his mind wandering as he reviewed the Chimelong Shopping Mall incident.
He stretched out his hand, and a small black snake emerged from his palm as it wriggled.
The little shadowy figure on Jiang Chaosheng's wrist sensed something and climbed up from his wrist, looking around in confusion.
The little black snake was attracted by the shadowy figure and curiously flicked its tongue to lick him.
The shadowy figure, terrified, raised its hands in surrender and jumped onto the table, frantically running around the edge of the table.
The little black snake looked at the shadowy figure with a puzzled expression, and followed at a leisurely pace.
Jiang Chaosheng murmured:
"Lucifer, the Human Emperor, revenge..."
Lucifer did not reveal the name of the Human Emperor.
His words were ambiguous, but they revealed a lot of information.
Jiang Chaosheng rearranged the meaning of the words and obtained several pieces of information.
First, in the past, gods and Buddhas enslaved humankind.
Whether it's the angels of the Western Paradise or the Buddhas of the Pure Land, they all regard humans as slaves.
The human emperor, who looked very much like himself, ended the era of human enslavement.
Second, this world has suffered some kind of catastrophe, which is the fundamental reason for the disappearance of extraordinary life and the birth of forbidden things.
Jiang Chaosheng thought about the second piece of information more deeply.
Will that catastrophe return?
I think so.
That forbidden sculpture in the basement, isn't it always murmuring about 'variables'?
A sense of crisis welled up in Jiang Chaosheng's heart.
If a catastrophe were to truly befall me, I would absolutely not be able to remain unscathed.
It wasn't because he wanted to be the savior Zhongshu talked about.
It's simply because... I'm the owner of Antique Shop Zero.
If the other party has the intention of capturing the leader first, I will definitely be the first one to be dealt with.
God knows whether the rules of the Zero Antique Shop and the forbidden sculptures in the basement can prevent that catastrophe.
Jiang Chaosheng felt... that it was definitely unstoppable!
Otherwise, that forbidden sculpture wouldn't be trapped on the golden throne!
Jiang Chaosheng took out his notebook, picked up a pen, and prepared to write down some plans.
He has a habit of writing problems down on paper, and once he has sorted out the problems, the answer is not far away.
Jiang Chaosheng muttered to himself:
"Catastrophe... I need to get stronger."
Just then, a hoarse voice rang out:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Jiang Chaosheng raised his head and looked at Xie Ya, who was lying on the tea table in a rather seductive posture.
While cracking sunflower seeds, Xie Ya said nonchalantly:
"If you really run into any trouble, I'll help you out."
Don't let my appearance fool you, if I find my place again, I'll be a force to be reckoned with.
Jiang Chaosheng chose to ignore Xie Ya, picked up his pen, and pondered in front of his open notebook.
After a long while, he began to write:
There are three ways to become stronger.
Power, combat strength, information.
Jiang Chaosheng wrote the two characters "power":
"My subordinates grow like weeds after rain, and I don't need to worry about them."
The Cleaner is getting stronger, the Divine Peptide Biotechnology Company is about to start operating, and the Witch will...
A strange look appeared in Jiang Chaosheng's eyes:
"Jin Meiting's witch skills have exceeded my expectations."
Jiang Chaosheng then wrote the three words "combat power":
"All I can do is practice spiritual arts more diligently."
With the foundation of the Spirit Gathering Technique, learning spells becomes twice as effective.
Also, collect more forbidden items and place them in Antique Shop Zero.
Even without the "Sixth Rule," forbidden objects possess immense power.
Having one more forbidden item is equivalent to having one more means.
Jiang Chaosheng wrote:
"Contain forbidden items, reclaim forbidden items."
Jiang Chaosheng paused to write:
"Reclaiming forbidden items..."
The previous owner of the Zero Antique Shop, Li Qinglian, lost a total of twelve forbidden items.
He retrieved seven items himself and then took in five more, finally lifting the curse.
In total, there are still five forbidden items that are missing.
Jiang Chaosheng muttered to himself:
"It's time to retrieve those five forbidden items."
If twelve forbidden items are lost, one will be cursed.
If any forbidden items resurface during the recycling period, the members of the Taboo Society should be able to handle it.
If all else fails, I can just run back myself.
Just then, a delicate fragrance wafted over.
Jiang Chaosheng immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.
You don't even need to look to know it's Daji.
It's strange, he used to be indifferent to beautiful women.
Physiologically, yes.
However, he believes that having sex with the opposite sex to satisfy one's desires is completely bestial behavior.
Ironically, Jiang Chaosheng showed little emotion, so cold-hearted that he was completely unmoved by love.
But Daji always gave him a feeling of excitement.
Jiang Chaosheng felt that the allure of the thousand-year-old fox spirit might be terrifying enough.
Daji served a cup of tea:
"My lord, please have some tea."
Jiang Chaosheng pondered for a while:
"I'll take you out these next couple of days."
Daji nodded:
"Is the enemy very strong? If it's dangerous, I can go alone."
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head:
"Not strong, probably not even an enemy. Just treat it as a stroll."
Daji's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light.
Will my husband take me sightseeing?
Daji's face lit up with happiness as she smiled dreamily.
"I'll listen to my husband."
Jiang Chaosheng continued staring at the notebook and wrote the word "information".
This is the most difficult part at present.
Jiang Chaosheng was unaware of the secrets of that mythical era.
However, as they contained forbidden objects, they gradually began to understand that era.
"The secrets of that era are hidden within these forbidden objects."
Like a series of riddles, the riddles themselves are the clues.
Jiang Chaosheng paused, then muttered to himself:
"The only person who truly understands forbidden items is the owner of Antique Shop Zero."
The people who manage these things must have had experience containing forbidden objects, and they must have gained some understanding of the mythological era through these forbidden objects.
It's even possible that the first headmaster was a person from the mythological era.
If we could communicate with them, we would definitely learn a lot about the mythological era.
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head:
"It's a pity that Li Qinglian, the only surviving manager among all the previous managers, has lost her memory."
Jiang Chaosheng suddenly narrowed his eyes:
"Those who know about forbidden things are not necessarily only the owners."
A term popped into Jiang Chaosheng's mind.
Taiping Dao!
This organization even has the means to perfectly control forbidden objects!
Jiang Chaosheng raised his head, gazing at the bronze chandelier in the dome, and murmured:
"The flintlock pistol appeared in Lotus City, the sea train stopped in Lotus City, and the blasphemous bell was also revived in Lotus City..."
The first place where I noticed Xie Qilin and the other five members of the Taiping Dao was in Lotus City.
Jiang Chaosheng organized the thoughts in his mind.
He doesn't believe in coincidences.
"There have been far too many unusual events in Liancheng. Could it be... related to the Taiping Dao?"
Jiang Chaosheng pursed his lips and took out the manager's notes:
"Perhaps, Liancheng is an important stronghold of the Taiping Dao."
There is a lost, forbidden object near Lotus City.
"Next stop, Liancheng."
