Chapter 2: The Book of Life and Death
At night in New York, there is no sleep, there is no silence, there is just a nightlife that is more indulgent than the day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Glamorous women dressed in revealing makeup, white-collar workers in companies who have taken off their suits, and young students who look a little immature, all of them arrive from all over New York on time as if they had set their clocks and converged on the night clubs on the edge of the city.
Holding the paper bag, Li Yan walked out of the supermarket. Glancing at the door of the crowded night market next to the supermarket, he shrugged his shoulders incomprehensibly, quickened his steps, and passed through the door.
After rushing back to the student apartment, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. After a few mouthfuls of food, Li Yan lay down on the bed.
I don't know what's going on, Li Yan feels particularly tired today. When he came out of the store and read a book in the library, he felt that his head was dizzy and uncomfortable, and his eyelids were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.
In less than three minutes, Li Yan let out a slight snoring sound and fell asleep.
It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a moment, and when Li Yan's consciousness was awake, he found himself in a dim world.
"Huh? Where is this? ”
As soon as this thought arose, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the dim space.
In a moment, the light dissipated, and nine pages of books emitting a faint blue light appeared in front of Li Yan.
"W-What is this?"
Strange things appeared one after another, and even if Li Yan's nerves were big, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.
But the blue paper didn't move, just floated quietly in mid-air. After looking around the barren surroundings, Li Yan cheered up and leaned towards them.
Consciousness was close, and Li Yan carefully probed these strange papers.
"Buzz"
As soon as he came into contact, a massive amount of information suddenly rushed into Li Yan's mind. The brain was overloaded, and in an instant, Li Yan fainted gorgeously.
After another period of stupor, Li Yan woke up again in the dim space. However, this time, the eyes in his eyes that looked at the nine dark blue pages were no longer confused and fearful. Instead, there is excitement and excitement.
Book of Life and Death!
These nine mysterious dark blue pages are actually the book of life and death of the legendary master of all things, old age, sickness and death, and the past and present lives of the deceased!
Originally, they were caught in that ancient book, and they have not been discovered for hundreds of years. Until Li Yan inadvertently dripped his own blood on it and reactivated it.
As for who sandwiched them in the ancient books, and why did they fall from the land of China to the United States on the other side of the ocean. These questions are no longer in the record of these information.
The book of life and death has the ability to be unimaginable and transcendent. Even if Li Yan only got nine of them, it gave him amazing abilities.
It's a pity that Li Yan is mortal in the flesh and can't control all the nine books of life and death. In terms of his ability at this stage, he can only use the first one, and the other eight are still in the state of sealing and not yet opened.
Li Yan's current ability is to summon the dead soul from the underworld back to the real world.
However, due to the seals of the other eight books of life and death, the time interval between Li Yan's summoning of the dead souls was as long as one month. Can only be summoned once on a full moon night.
But from that information, Li Yan also got a way to break the seal. First, as the number of summons increases, after reaching a certain number of times, the seal can be automatically unlocked.
Once you've summoned nine souls, you'll be able to unlock the seal of the second Book of Life and Death. After eighteen, the seal of the third one is unlocked. By analogy, in order to unlock all nine books of life and death, Li Yan needs to summon eighty-one revenants.
Another way is to find items containing the aura of heaven and earth, so that the Book of Life and Death can absorb it, so that the seal can also be broken. However, Li Yan was still confused about what contained the aura of heaven and earth, and he didn't know the specific identification method.
After sorting out the messy information in his mind, Li Yan's eyes stared feverishly at the nine books of life and death. The greedy gaze, almost wanting to penetrate the body, drowned them in it.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, Li Yan stopped the excitement in his heart. With a thought, he retreated from the dim space.
Lying on the bed, Li Yan stared at the ceiling with a stunned look, and stared straight for more than ten minutes before he suddenly shouted.
"Ahh Yes! Lao Tzu is going to be developed! ”
The shouting in the dormitory late at night also attracted a scolding from the surrounding dormitory people.
“FUCK! What kind of neurotic is screaming and screaming! I don't let people sleep! ”
"Shut your foul mouth! I still have to sleep! ”
…………
Listening to the shouting and scolding around him, Li Yan didn't get angry, just sat stupidly on the chair, grinning and smirking.
Li Yan can't describe his mood at the moment, since more than ten years ago, his parents left him because of a car accident, he has been busy with study and life.
It seems that there is an invisible force spurring and driving Li Yan, and his daily time is fully arranged, and there is no chance to relax.
Studying, part-time work, part-time job, after being busy with one thing, another thing will appear, and Li Yan has no time to stop and rest.
Even in the past six months in the United States, after officially working and becoming a small leader, Li Yan did not stop to take a breath. Because he had already seen higher social classes, power and wealth, it became his latest pursuit.
Li Yan didn't think there was anything unspeakable about it, and he didn't care about what others said was worldly. What Li Yan pursues is more wealth and greater power, simple and clear.
After running for twenty-three years, Li Yan finally dared to completely let go of the sense of urgency in his heart.
After smirking for a few minutes, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He knew very well that this secret was destined to be brought to the grave, and that no one could share it with.
There are too many temptations in this world, and Li Yan doesn't dare to test the perseverance of others with this shocking mystery. This is a matter of life and death, even his closest friends, and he can only hide it.
But soon, another problem quickly came to Li Yan's mind. Who is the first summoned revenant to be suitable?
There are too many geniuses who are amazing in history, and each of them has talents and abilities that ordinary people can't match. I didn't think there was anything before, but when it came to the end, when he was asked to choose the most suitable person for the status quo, he really stumped Li Yan.
After thinking about it, Li Yan couldn't make up his mind. In the end, he had no choice, so he turned on the computer in the room and clicked into a domestic forum in China.
On the question board, Li Yan asked, "If you could summon back a figure who has passed away in history, who would you choose?" ”
Due to the time difference, it is still daytime in China at this time, and the number of people surfing the Internet is extremely large. After a few minutes, the answers began to pop up.
"You're so whimsical! This kind of thing can be imagined! ”
"That's it! However, if it is really true, I will choose to summon Nuwa out to see if she is really human-headed and snake-like! ”
"Damn, the upstairs is heavy enough!"
"If you want me to choose, I will choose Newton, summon him to come out and make me a physics paper, and let him taste the pain of our senior party!"
"I want to choose Shen Wansan, let him be my subordinate, and earn a lot of money for me! Hahaha! ”
"Agreed! With such a good ability, of course you have to choose someone who can make money for yourself! ”
"Yes, but I think Hu Xueyan is better, and he can make more money than Shen Wansan!"
"Nonsense! Obviously, Shen Wansan is richer, you know a fart! ”
"You're just farting! Hu Xueyan is a wealthy businessman known as a red-top businessman, how can Shen Wansan compare to him! ”
……
……
The ensuing discussion completely deviated from Li Yan's original question and moved towards a discussion about who was the most profitable businessman in Chinese history.
However, from the discussions of these people, Li Yan also understood who was the most suitable person for his summoning at this stage. Now, all he lacks is a full moon night!
Turning off the computer, Li Yan looked at the moon outside the window, which was close to perfection. The corners of his mouth were raised, and the expectation in his eyes became more and more intense.
