NABC Chapter 67: Bought a Sadako?
Chapter 67: Bought a Sadako?
It was noon on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
The White Bone Demon ended his hibernation. He had originally planned to sleep until the fifteenth, but was disturbed by his kind who had overstepped his bounds.
The mycelial balls in the drawer have shrunk to the size of ping-pong balls.
We don't have much food left, but thankfully we've already bought some blood wine, so we can store a little more.
"The three granaries will soon be over the holiday."
Gu Bai thought to himself.
As a kind-hearted demon, she would naturally give her employees a holiday.
We eat well and get plenty of nourishment during the Lunar New Year so that we can produce more food.
He's not one of those foolish types who's all about making a quick buck and doesn't understand the importance of a steady, long-term approach.
Ding Dong
The phone rang. Gu Xiaojiao said, "Brother Bai, Lao Guo and I will be at your place in half an hour. Make sure you have a computer that can play CDs."
The White Bone Demon was somewhat puzzled: "CD-ROM? Computer?"
Gu Xiaojiao: "Yes, it's a disc. It's a martial art of remote acupoint striking, personally taught by a master from Wudang Mountain. I spent over 20,000 yuan to buy one."
"it is good."
Gu Bai certainly has a computer, a laptop that can play CDs, but he hasn't used it in a long time.
The Wudang Mountain master is quite savvy; he actually sells DVDs.
I found it, plugged it in, and it worked alright. Except for some card issues, it was still usable.
Twenty-five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
I arrived five minutes early.
Gu Bai opened the door and invited them inside.
Gu Xiaojiao poured a glass of water for the two of them and placed a CD on the screen.
Guo Jin, who was holding a book of poems, put it down at this moment.
Gu Bai sat in the middle, and the three of them looked at the computer screen that was buffering.
Five minutes later.
Gu Xiaojiao: "Brother Bai, you really should get a new computer."
Guo Jin: "Brother Bai, you've made so much money, don't you know how to get a new one?"
"The new ones can't play CDs anymore, as long as they work, it's fine. It's out, it's out."
Finally, an image appeared on the screen.
On the mountaintop.
An ancient Taoist temple, an old Taoist priest with a whisk in hand, standing with his hands behind his back.
"You old man, pay for my father's life!"
A soft shout rang out, and seven voluptuous, scantily clad, alluring women, swords in hand, swayed and groveled toward the old Taoist priest.
White Bone Demon: "??"
Are you sure this is traditional martial arts from Wudang Mountain?
Why does this feel like watching a movie?
Moreover, this speed is that of an ordinary person; it doesn't show any of the strength a martial artist should have.
Gu Bai couldn't help but ask, "You didn't put it in the wrong place, did you? Why are you so slow?"
"Brother Bai, this is an instructional video, so of course we can't go too fast," Guo Jin explained.
That makes sense, I'll take another look.
The White Bone Demon dared not blink, for fear of missing something.
Ding Dong
A knock came at the door.
"I'll go open the door." Gu Xiaojiao quickly got up and went to open the door: "Sister Qingyi, what brings you here?"
Gu Qingyi asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
"We're looking for Brother Bai to learn how to use acupressure from a distance in Wudang Mountain."
"Remote pressure point strike? There's such a martial art? I need to learn it too."
So the four of them gathered in the living room, and Gu Xiaojiao gave up his seat and sat on the floor to watch.
The seven sluts finally arrived at the old Taoist priest's side and slowly thrust their swords at him.
There seemed to be a breeze. The old Taoist priest's robes fluttered, and his white hair moved with the wind. He stomped his foot and slid back, leaving the seven slutty and shameless women frozen in shock.
Gu Bai and Gu Qingyi exclaimed in shock, "Wow, it's really frozen in place? That's impressive!"
Guo Jin scratched his head: "I remember it wasn't decided at this time, it was decided later."
Gu Xiaojiao looked at the three of them: "Could it be that it's lagging? Brother Bai, you really should get a new computer."
The White Bone Demon and Gu Qingyi: "..."
Let's take another look.
The video paused for a minute, then resumed.
The seven slutty and shameless women jogged after them, while the old Taoist priest remained indifferent, displaying an air of superiority.
As the longsword drew near, the old Taoist finally pointed his fingers together like a sword, striking the air: "Freeze!"
The sluts paused, one of them swayed slightly, but not noticeably, and then they all came to a complete stop.
Guo Jin and Gu Xiaojiao exclaimed excitedly, "This is it! This is it!"
Gu Bai: "..."
I have a feeling that I've run into two idiots.
This isn't even as well-made as a web series. How did you guys fall for it?
Gu Qingyi asked, "And then what happened? They froze the seven of them, then just sat there drinking tea?"
Guo Jin said, "It's over. Master, have a moment to savor your words and prepare to influence them."
Gu Xiaojiao chimed in, "That's right."
Gu Qingyi said angrily, "He froze seven women while he drank tea? What's the difference between that and Sun Wukong freezing seven fairies and then running off to steal peaches?"
ice cream:"……"
what do you want?
White Bone Demon: "??"
Something's not right.
Guo Jin scratched his head: "This Taoist priest wanted to resolve the grudges. There's more to it than that. Under the priest's influence, they wept bitterly, let go of their hatred, and walked the righteous path. What a wonderful story of the martial arts world!"
Gu Xiaojiao: "We are learning how to apply pressure points remotely, that's the key point."
The White Bone Demon took a cigarette from Guo Jin's pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it for him: "Help me have one."
"Okay." Guo Jin took a deep breath: "Brother Bai, can you figure it out?"
"You've practiced martial arts since you were a child?"
Guo Jin proudly raised his head: "Yes."
"You spent over 20,000?"
Gu Xiaojiao: "Yes, I queued for a long time and went through a lot of trouble to buy it."
"Let the police fire these two idiots, and then take them to the hospital for a checkup." The White Bone Demon sighed and lay down on the sofa.
I'm exhausted. They're both complete idiots. They actually naively thought it was a pressure point strike from a distance.
Guo Jin looked at him blankly: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Gu Qingyi nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll take them there later."
"You guys should take a good look at the video yourselves. It even mentions acupressure. Look here, the woman tilted slightly and then straightened up."
If it were a true pressure point strike, she would have fallen flat on her face.
Gu Bai scrolled through the progress bar: "You guys won't just watch this video and hand over your money, will you? When you get old... or maybe you don't need to wait, I'll go sell you health supplements tomorrow."
"That shouldn't be the case. We were indeed frozen in place at that moment; we couldn't move for a split second," Gu Xiaojiao said, frowning.
"Where did you buy it?"
Guo Jin raised his head and said, "A martial arts exchange meeting? You need an invitation. Only a martial arts family like mine is qualified to go in."
"Who gave you the invitation?"
"My dad's brother's friend's son's girlfriend..."
"Forget it, even if I'm cured, I'll still drool. Let's just get it over with and cremate me directly." The White Bone Demon gave up on the idea of treatment.
"There's one more, there's one more, this time it's definitely for real."
Gu Xiaojiao pulled out a USB drive from his pocket: "This is definitely genuine. I bought it for 30,000 yuan. Every time I listen to it, I feel instantly more energetic and stronger."
"What is this thing again? You haven't run out of money, have you?" Gu Bai frowned.
With just over a million yuan, and having already bought a house, how much money does he have left if he keeps spending it so recklessly?
This guy, a security informant, got completely swindled.
"Trust me, I use it every time I practice, and I feel a huge improvement." Gu Xiaojiao plugged in the USB drive.
Gu Qingyi asked in confusion, "You've made great progress? Why do I feel like you haven't improved at all, just like before the New Year?"
clank……
The clear, melodious sound of a piano filled the air, and suddenly, a woman with long hair covering her face appeared on the computer screen. Her knuckles were white, and she was crawling on the ground, seemingly trying to crawl out...
Holy crap, she actually climbed out!
Her long, ink-black hair covered the keyboard, her round head exuded an eerie aura, and her pale hands slowly reached out to grab Gu Bai, who was closest to her.
Gu Xiaojiao and Guo Jin: "..."
The White Bone Demon and Gu Qingyi: "..."
What kind of luck do you have, buying a Sadako (a character from a popular Chinese folktale)?
ice cream:"?"
The head that had just emerged froze, and something seemed... a little off.
