Chapter 518: Invincible Elixir Magic Fight
After Song Yuanwai was revived, he felt that the atmosphere at home was quite strange.
He remembered that before he died, the family atmosphere was quite harmonious. How come in less than half an hour after his death, there seemed to be a faint hostility among the children?
Especially his youngest daughter, who was kneeling on the ground crying bitterly. Was she crying because he died? How filial.
Unfortunately, no matter what, he couldn't let her marry that boy surnamed Zhou, after all, they were siblings.
Song Yuanwai temporarily put aside the family issues. The most important thing right now was to deal with the matter of the painting.
His appearance was quite unsightly, with blood on his face and clothes. This was due to his bodily functions going haywire and vomiting blood after his soul was pulled away.
"Thank you, Daoist, for saving my life!"
"You're welcome, Song Yuanwai. What exactly is the situation with the painting?"
Song Yuanwai sighed deeply and sat down on a chair to recount the past.
"Twenty years ago, I failed in business and wanted to jump off a cliff to commit suicide. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by a tree branch in mid-air and miraculously survived. Below me, a stone platform extended out. I jumped onto the platform and discovered a cave deep inside."
"Something in the depths of the cave was calling me. At that time, I was not afraid of death and followed the sound. I found a painting that was talking. The painting said it could help me in business and make me a wealthy man, so I took it out of the cave."
"With the help of the painting, I indeed became adept at business. Several successful investments made me the top merchant in the county. I also got married and had children, and my family was harmonious."
At this point, Lu Yang and the other two silently turned to look at the Song siblings and the butler.
"Please continue."
"In the past few months, the painting has been asking for my life every night. Out of fear, I tried drowning it and burning it, but nothing worked. Even if I threw it into the countryside, it would return home the next day!"
As he spoke, Song Yuanwai's eyes were filled with terror. These days, he had been tormented by the painting, his mind restless and his spirit in disarray. In the past two weeks, he had often been startled awake.
Lu Yang rubbed his chin. This was indeed something new.
"Let's go and take a look at the painting."
Song Yuanwai led the three of them through twists and turns, and then triggered a mechanism in a small room. A dark underground passage opened up.
The secret room was filled with gold, silver, and jewels, which were very precious to ordinary people. To Lu Yang, even the tassels on his sword hilt were worth more than these.
Among them, a particularly conspicuous iron box was wrapped in layers of talismans. Song Yuanwai tore off the talismans and opened the iron box, revealing the painting inside.
"Criminal law of Great Xia?"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yang's mouth. Using the Invincible Elixir, he said, "The criminal law of Great Xia stipulates that if a victim promises someone else to infringe upon their specific legal interests, such as disposing of property, causing minor or serious injuries, etc., the promise is invalid if it results in death."
"Of course, not all promises resulting in death are invalid. Promises made without coercion in situations like life-and-death duels are valid. Your behavior does not fall into those few exceptions."
"If you had studied a bit more and learned the legal history of Great Xia, you would know that many demonic artifacts in history used the lure of fulfilling wishes to entice others to exchange their lives, thus refining their souls."
"The Minister of Justice at the time discovered this situation and added this provision to the laws of Great Xia to prevent artifacts like you from doing such things."
Lu Yang sighed, looking at the woman with the eyes of someone looking at a legal illiterate, "It seems that legal education is still not widespread enough."
Ever since he found out that his master was often imprisoned, Lu Yang had been studying the law whenever he had time, striving not to follow in his master's footsteps.
Now it seemed that studying the law was indeed useful.
Most people, even if they studied a lot of laws, would not know which one to choose when using them, often falling into a dilemma.
But Lu Yang was different. He had the Invincible Elixir, which could help him quickly select the most suitable legal provision from his memory during a magic fight.
It should be noted that the Invincible Elixir could not choose provisions that Lu Yang had not learned. After all, the victory conditions given by the Invincible Elixir were based on Lu Yang's knowledge.
The Immortal Fairy in the mental space clicked her tongue in wonder. As the creator of the Invincible Elixir, she hadn't expected it to be used in this way.
Tao Yaoye secretly transmitted her voice to Lan Ting, "Junior Sister Lan, did you know about this provision?"
Lan Ting shook her head blankly, "No, our sect doesn't teach this."
Both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes, feeling as if there was an invisible chasm between them and Senior Brother Lu.
"You have already violated the criminal law by taking Song Yuanwai's soul, constituting attempted murder. Come with us."
The woman sneered, not intimidated by Lu Yang, "Don't think you're the only one who has read the criminal law. To tell you the truth, I am an artifact and not subject to the criminal law!"
Lu Yang glanced at the woman and said, "Oh, is that so? Even better. Since you're an ownerless artifact, I can break you without any problem."
Lan Ting's expression turned strange. Why did this conversation sound more and more familiar?
"Arrogant! Do you really think I'm afraid of you three little cultivators?"
The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
