Chapter 24: The City
Li Jianbei also seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and hid behind Xiang Zizhuo and whispered: "I can't take a bath, but I want to wash later, you wash first." ”
Xiang Zizhuo withdrew his gaze from Yunjing, frowned and said puzzledly: "Why do you want to wash later, you have to get up and train tomorrow morning, your skills have been getting worse and worse recently, if you want to be selected, you must no longer be lazy, you must go to bed early at night and get up tomorrow!" ”
Li Jianbei looked anxious, wanted to resist but didn't know what to do, so he almost spun in place.
Yun Jing looked at his anxious appearance and couldn't help but say, "Since he doesn't want to wash you, don't force him, this blocking the door will hinder others." “
When Xiang Zizhuo heard this, he turned his head and saw that Li Jianbei nodded like garlic, and suddenly became even more angry, glared at Li Jianbei, and finally snorted coldly and threw down the sentence "whatever you want", and then shook his hand and left.
Li Jianbei looked at Xiang Zizhuo's angry back, opened his mouth to explain something, but finally lowered his head in despair, and then he suddenly remembered Yunjing who was still standing aside, and suddenly straightened up again.
This time there was no Xiang Zizhuo between the two, the two faced each other, Li Jianbei had nothing to hide, he lowered his head nervously, wanting to avoid Yunjing's sight and find a way to leave, but Yunjing had just walked in from outside, Li Jianbei wanted to go out, he had to pass by Yunjing, he was extremely afraid of Yunjing, and he was panicked after a few more glances, and in desperation, Li Jianbei had to freeze in place, stiffly lowering his head and not daring to look at Yunjing, just like a hanging dead corpse standing upright on the opposite side.
Yunjing stared at Li Jianbei's body, and found that in just one afternoon, the thickness of Li Jianbei's aura around his body was much thinner, just now Yunjing saw Li Jianbei at a glance, and found that Li Jianbei's state was worse than that of the basketball court in the afternoon, at first I thought it was purely the effect of the white lights in the bathroom, but at this moment, if you take a closer look, you will find that Li Jianbei's own body is gradually showing problems.
If Yunjing is not wrong, the car accident that occurred when Li Jianbei returned to his hometown a week before the holiday was not just a minor injury, he was probably dead, but for some special reasons, he was "resurrected" back to school again.
One to four hours after death, the muscles of the body begin to stiffen, and after four to six hours, the zombie spreads, and the congealed blood begins to darken the skin, which is known as the legendary corpse spots.
Li Jianbei has been dead for more than ten days now, but his body is still in a state of zombie, Yunjing guesses that it is the aura on his body that covers his whole body, preventing the process of corpse transformation of his body, so that he can hold on for many days before his body changes color and decays.
After experiencing the stepmother incident, Yunjing found that people in this world have various means to cultivate aura, originally when he first saw Li Jianbei, Yunjing thought that he was also using similar methods to his stepmother to get aura, so that he could continue to be a living person, but now that he looks at it, it is obvious that Li Jianbei's aura is limited.
Forcibly letting the already stiff corpse continue to exercise, especially the strenuous sports such as basketball, is harmful to the preservation of the corpse, Li Jianbei has no channel to replenish the aura, with a little less, and even plays basketball with Xiang Zizhuo every day, this kind of self-suicide behavior is simply incredible in Yunjing's opinion.
But at least so far, Yun Jing has not seen him do anything hurtful, although it is very surprising to see a dead corpse moving like a living person, but Yun Jing is not a nosy person, looking at Li Jianbei who was frightened like a quail, Yun Jing turned sideways, and just wanted to make way for Li Jianbei, suddenly, a figure went and returned.
Seeing Li Jianbei with his head down and scared half to death, Xiang Zizhuo's face showed a look of "sure enough", then snorted coldly, walked quickly in front of Li Jianbei, pulled Li Jianbei over, and walked outside with him in a protective attitude.
When passing by Yunjing, Xiang Zizhuo also glanced at Yunjing deliberately, and his eyes contained warnings, as if warning Yunjing not to secretly bully Li Jianbei.
Yun Jing naturally didn't bother with Xiang Zizhuo, and seeing the two of them leaving, Yun Jing also turned around and walked towards the bathroom with the dream demon in his arms.
After bathing himself, he had to wipe the eggshell for the dream demon, the dream demon seemed to fall in love with playing with water, lying under the water and spinning constantly, it looked like a spinning white spinning top, Yunjing saw that it was fun to play, so he simply took a basin and filled a basin with water, and put the dream demon in it and rolled it around.
After taking a shower, he had to do his own laundry, so Yunjing found a slightly higher place for the basin containing the dream demon to keep it from spilling on it.
After finishing this qiē, Yunjing returned to the bedroom to lie down and rest.
In the middle of the night, the dream demon lying next to Yunjing's pillow suddenly shook, Yunjing immediately woke up from the dream, and hurriedly checked the situation of the dream demon, when he found that the dream demon was fine, Yunjing immediately released his spiritual power to scan the surroundings.
There was someone outside the door, no breathing, no heartbeat, but the footsteps were anxiously moving back and forth, and it was obvious that only Li Jianbei could have this characteristic.
Li Jianbei actually planned to take the initiative to find him?
Although he was still hovering outside the door and didn't dare to knock on the door, Li Jianbei's ability to stand outside the door of Yunjing's dormitory was enough to surprise Yunjing.
Although they have only met twice, Li Jianbei is obviously a very keen person, and when they met for the first time, they instinctively noticed the strength of Yunjing, how afraid Li Jianbei was of him yesterday, Yunjing was in his eyes, and he didn't expect that Li Jianbei would take the initiative to come to the door today.
Li Jianbei was not ready to knock on the door to see Yunjing, and Yunjing didn't plan to go out, lying on the bed and waiting for him with the dream demon.
After a while, Li Jianbei seemed to have finally made up his mind and stopped circling outside Yunjing's door, he stopped, slowly raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the door of Yunjing's dormitory.
Yunjing got up from the bed and raised his hand to open the door.
As the door was slowly opened, the light of the corridor was projected in, and even the appearance of Li Jianbei outside the door was also reflected in the eyes of Yunjing.
Rao is Yunjing was also shocked by Li Jianbei's appearance, compared to the evening, Li Jianbei's appearance was even more terrifying, the muscles all over his body were not just stiff and white, but there was even a slight puffiness, like a dead body soaked in water.
Li Jianbei carefully captured the surprise in Yunjing's eyes, and then he realized that his current appearance was a little unsightly, he hurriedly took a step back, covered most of his face with his hands, and kept apologetic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared you at night, I didn't mean to quarrel with you, I'm really sorry......"
Yunjing looked at Li Jianbei's appearance, and almost knelt down for him with guilt, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I haven't fallen asleep, I've seen all kinds of people, you can't scare me like this, you came to me, what's the matter?" ”
Li Jianbei lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, only after a night, his fear of Yunjing was not overcome, being stared at by Yunjing, Li Jianbei only felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to immediately expose his true nature and turn back into a dead corpse, and never be watched by Yunjing like this and suffer from the coercion of the strong.
But now that the matter has come to this, he has no way out, Li Jianbei clenched his hands and stumbled: "You actually ...... Know my situation...... Right......"
"Well, you can see it at a glance." Yunjing did not deny it.
Li Jianbei's face turned pale, his lips trembled several times, and he begged: "I know that there are many hidden sects in this world, and there are many capable people, who live in the crowd like ordinary people on weekdays, but once they find evil, they can't be allowed to make trouble...... I know that my appearance is no longer a normal person, I have a place where I should go, but I use means to let myself live in the crowd again, this is not right, I am very afraid every day, I am afraid that my classmates will find out my abnormality, and I am also afraid of attracting superiors...... But I really don't want to leave like this now, the reason why I came back is because I have an obsession in my heart, even if I die, I can't let go of it, I won't stay long, please, can you let me go for the time being, in a few days, I will die with peace of mind, and I will never do anything harmful! ”
Li Jianbei said, took out a tattered iron box from his pocket, opened the iron box in front of Yunjing, there was a stack of yellow paper lying inside, Li Jianbei stiffly stretched out his hand, slowly spread out the stacked paper, and several yellow rune papers appeared in front of Yunjing's eyes.
"As long as you can spare me for a few days, all these runes will be given to you as my reward, okay?" Li Jianbei said cautiously.
Yunjing was surprised to find that these rune papers were no different from ordinary yellow paper when folded, but once they were spread out to reveal the cinnabar blood characters on them, there was immediately a full aura released, and it was obvious that these rune papers were rare treasures!
Li Jianbei observed the look on Yunjing's face, and when he saw Yunjing, he recognized the difference in the rune paper at a glance, and he was even more sure that Yunjing was a hermit master.
When he was a child, he heard his parents talk about those cultivators, and he didn't take it seriously at all, just because his ancestors were superstitious and nonsense, until he died, he knew that the world was full of strange things, and he, a dead person, could be resurrected back to school, and the classmates who seemed to be ordinary before, when they were alive before, they didn't have the slightest feeling for him, and even a look from Yunjing after death made him frightened.
"You were able to come back from the resurrection, and it has something to do with these runes?" Yunjing asked.
Li Jianbei nodded: "I was born in Xiangxi, Hunan, from the beginning of the ancestors, is the local famous corpse chaser, before the establishment of the country, the ancestors have relied on the corpse for a living, after the establishment of the country, the country cracked down on feudal superstition, the corpse of the profession gradually became less lively, my grandfather passed on my father to drive the corpse, my father was not very happy, only learned a trick and a half, my grandfather helpless, exhausted the victory to draw these blood talismans to my father, said that the ancestors drove the corpse for a lifetime, although let the dead corpse return to the hometown and return to the roots, in essence, it is a good thing, but every day he travels south and north, shuttles through the mountains and wilderness, and deals with dead corpses and evil spirits, fearing that this yin qi will harm future generations.
Every corpse chaser must know how to draw talismans, if there is a critical moment in the process of chasing corpses, bite the middle finger blood to draw a talisman to protect his life, my father did not meditate on cultivation, my grandfather was afraid that he would have a life worry, so he left a full twenty blood talismans to him, after I was born, my father followed the ancestral teachings, and also taught me some means of chasing corpses, but my father himself did not believe in these, never drove the corpse in his life, to me, I thought it was feudal superstition, when I was a child, I just coped with things, never thought of it, Some things turned out to be true......"
Li Jianbei seemed to remember a lot of past events, and his eyes gradually drifted as he spoke, but he quickly came back to his senses and looked at Yunjing apologetically: "I'm sorry, I followed my relatives to Baofeng City to study in high school, my mother didn't worry about me, so I asked my father to hand over these blood charms to me, let me carry them with me, when I returned to school from home last week, it rained heavily in the mountains for several days, and when the car passed by, I encountered a mudslide, and those mud and stones just hit my body, and when I woke up, It just so happened that a rescue team came to the rescue and saw that I woke up and took me away.
At that time, I also thought that I was lucky to be alive again, but in the next few days, I soon realized that something was wrong with my body, and finally realized that I had died a long time ago, and it was these blood charms who knew that I had a wish and helped me return......"
Li Jianbei said, lifted his clothes, and saw that the position of his chest under his clothes was strangely concave a large piece, and the bones were covered under the skin in fragments, obviously when the accident happened, Li Jianbei's chest cavity was smashed, and at the position of his heart, a yellow blood talisman was pasted, sealing the broken opening of the heart, not only did no pus and blood flow out, but also centered on the heart, the blood talisman provided aura to cover Li Jianbei's whole body, so that his body did not rot for so many days.
"One blood talisman can only last one day, ten of the twenty blood talismans have been used up by me, and I will use it for three more days, so I can only give you seven chapters." Li Jianbei said in a low voice.
Yunjing didn't take the blood talisman, looked at Li Jianbei and said, "You came back for Xiang Zizhuo?" ”
Being seen through his mind, even if he has become a dead corpse, the expression on Li Jianbei's face also strangely revealed a trace of shyness, he nodded invisibly, and lowered his head for a long time embarrassed to speak.
Yun Jing looked at Li Jianbei's swollen face, frowned, and said, "When I saw you before I went to bed, you weren't so miserable, why did you become like this now?" It won't be because of Xiang Zizhuo, right? ”
Li Jianbei said a little stumblingly: "Zizhuo doesn't know about me, he sees that my face is not good and dirty, so he ...... In fact, he is all about me, on the surface his temper is not very good, but in fact he is a very soft-hearted person, I used to think that he was not easy to get along with at the beginning, I was afraid that he would bully me, but then I learned that it was not like this, he just didn't like to express it. ”
"So you let him force you to touch the water?" Yunjing said helplessly, "Then what should you do now, with this appearance, everyone can see that you have a problem, right?" ”
Li Jianbei's head was lowered: "Tomorrow is a sunny day, go to the sun to bask in the sun, and the water will evaporate and it will be better......"
Yun Jing frowned, even if Yun Jing didn't know much about the corpse chaser and the corpse, he knew that it was best for the corpse not to see the sun, not to mention that being exposed to the sun in order to dry it might make Li Jianbei's appearance look better in the short term, but as a party, Li Jianbei's pain can be imagined, and it must be an extremely torturous process.
Yunjing was ruthless in killing people in the face of wicked people, but in the face of people like Li Jianbei, he was a little helpless, he sighed, directly pulled out some of the spiritual power in his body and condensed it in his hand, and then stretched out his hand to brush Li Jianbei's face, neck and hands and other parts that could not be covered by clothes.
Li Jianbei was startled, and just wanted to avoid it, but where was Yunjing's speed that he, a zombie, could dodge, and the aura poured into Li Jianbei's body, suppressing his swollen appearance on the spot, and in just a few seconds, Li Jianbei regained his appearance as a day.
There was no pus under the skin, Li Jianbei only felt light, even if his body was still very stiff, but it was a lot more comfortable.
Li Jianbei didn't expect Yunjing to help him, raised his head and looked at Yunjing with shock and gratitude, just about to say something, Yunjing took the lead and waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go back to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning." ”
Li Jianbei saw Yun Jing's plan to close the door, and hurriedly handed over the iron box containing the blood talisman, but Yun Jing didn't look at it, and directly closed the door and blocked him out.
Li Jianbei slowly withdrew his hand, and the iron box was held in his arms for a long time, and after a while, Li Jianbei whispered gratefully: "Thank you, Yunjing." ”
Confirming that Yunjing didn't plan to make a move on him, Li Jianbei relaxed and returned to the bedroom to lie down and close his eyes to recuperate.
Li Jianbei, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice that Xiang Zizhuo, who was sleeping opposite him, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, with a faint hint of doubt in his eyes.
The next day, Yunjing officially started his student career, and I have to say that the original body was not good at studying before, and his head was blank in the face of those knowledge points, which caused great trouble to Yunjing.
What biochemistry, physics and mathematics, all of them are brand new knowledge that Yunjing has not been exposed to before, the world system of Tianhong Continent is completely different from the real world, Yunjing grew up in Tianhong Continent, and is used to the structure and knowledge of that world, and suddenly came into contact with these in the real world, and suddenly felt unfamiliar and caught him off guard.
The worst of them all is nothing but English.
After all, Yunjing is a spiritual master who came out of the oriental fantasy novel, the author of the book that created Zào Yunjing is Chinese, the whole world will of course be Chinese, English this strange pronunciation language, Yunjing has never been contacted, if the original body has some relevant knowledge memory, but the original body was originally a scumbag, no learning-related memories left to Yunjing.
Yunjing had no choice but to start from scratch, even if he couldn't understand a word of what the English teacher said during class, he tried to use his mental power to memorize all the teacher's words, and planned to go back and digest them slowly.
The study on Yunjing's side is in full swing, and the training of Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei has also entered the most critical moment.
Two days later, the school will confirm the number of substitutes, and then the basketball game will start, Li Jianbei's situation in the past two days has not only not improved in the slightest, but has worsened more and more, so anxious that Xiang Zizhuo has a cold face all day long, as if the whole world owes him 50 million, and all kinds of friction have followed.
For this basketball game, not only Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei want to participate, but also many people want to fight for the substitute places, even if they know that Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei have a high probability of being selected, but isn't Li Jianbei in bad form recently, as long as Li Jianbei loses, naturally there will be more places, and others may be on top.
Representing the school to participate in the city's basketball competition is not only the dream of many basketball enthusiasts, but also a way out for some people with poor academic performance or poor families.
Boyang's basketball team has always been good, once you join as long as you win the ranking, there will be a scholarship to each student, and if you can follow the basketball team to win the ranking during the school, it will also have a lot of benefits for the future student career, if someone wants to transfer to the school in the future, or engage in basketball-related careers, this competition will also be filled in by them in the resume.
Prompted by such an idea, some people gradually became dissatisfied with Xiang Zizhuo who has been taking Li Jianbei to occupy the basketball court, many people think that a talented player like Xiang Zizhuo wants to practice and forget it, and others can only dodge one side, but Li Jianbei's sluggish posture and pace, not to mention grabbing the ball and shooting, even running like a puppet is stiff and deadly, this kind of hopeless person at first glance, why should he occupy the basketball court and not give others the opportunity to train?
In the face of these doubts, Li Jianbei was ashamed, but Xiang Zizhuo was half angry, and turned his face on the spot for Li Jianbei and the other party.
The next night, Yun Jingwan returned to the dormitory with the dream demon after self-study, and happened to hear Xiang Zizhuo angry at Li Jianbei again: "What the hell is going on with you, are you serious, don't you want to play basketball, don't want to participate in games with me, and don't want to continue to work hard for our dreams?"
Otherwise, with your strength, it is impossible to regress to this stage, I know better than anyone what your skills are, you are playing me like this now, right, you think it is funny to see me so anxious and half-dead every day? If you have an injury, you should have gone for treatment as soon as possible, you have been dragging it out, and you are becoming less and less active in training every day...... Li Jianbei, I really don't know what you're thinking! ”
Li Jianbei was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "That's not the case, Zizhuo, you listen to my explanation, I think that the injuries on my body can't be healed anyway, and I can't continue to play like this...... But I still hope you can continue to play, I can't, I'm watching you from the audience, watching you make it to the provincial level, to the national game, to the NBA, and I'm going to keep watching you-"
"Boom", before Li Jianbei finished speaking, Xiang Zizhuo shook his hand violently, the tables and chairs in the dormitory were overturned on the spot, cups, books, paper and pens were spilled all over the ground, glass shards splashed out, cutting Xiang Zizhuo's calf, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
Xiang Zizhuo's face was unprecedentedly gloomy, he glanced at Li Jianbei coldly, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Li Jianbei looked at Xiang Zizhuo's back, and said in a low voice for a long time: "I really want to fight with you, but ......"
Yunjing saw the contradiction between the two in his eyes, and finally turned around and left silently, and no one else could interfere in the matter between the two of them, including Yunjing.
Just walked away a few steps, suddenly a dull voice came from Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei's dormitory, Li Jianbei was the only one left in the dormitory at the moment, listening to the sound, it was not like an ordinary thing falling, but like the dull sound of a person falling to the ground.
Yun Jing, who was about to return to his bedroom, sighed helplessly, but turned around and returned to the door of Xiang Zizhuo and Li Jianbei's dormitory.
The hand had just touched Li Jianbei's arm, but he found that the piece of flesh under the clothes collapsed as soon as he pressed it, Yun Jing frowned slightly and opened it to take a look, and found that at some point, Li Jianbei's body had begun to rot, and the surface of the skin was already glowing with abnormal maroon.
Yunjing quickly lifted Li Jianbei's clothes and saw that there was still a blood talisman attached to his heart, but there was not much blood talisman aura left, it was obvious that this was not a new one posted today, but a blood talisman that had been used yesterday.
Yun Jing hurriedly got up and found the iron box next to Li Jianbei's bed, and took out a blood talisman casually, tore off the old one on Li Jianbei's body, and replaced it with a new one.
The abundant aura traveled Li Jianbei's whole body again, Li Jianbei slowly opened his eyes, and was startled when he saw that his clothes were lifted, and thought that his secret had been discovered, and then after seeing Yunjing, Li Jianbei breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked again and again: "Trouble you, Yunjing." ”
"Why do you want to stick the old blood talisman, you still have a lot left in the box, replace it with a new one, your body doesn't decay so quickly." Cloudview Road.
Li Jianbei lowered his head: "I promised, I want to leave seven ...... for you"
Yunjing said: "I think, I didn't say I wanted it, right?" ”
When Li Jianbei heard this, he somehow smiled at Yunjing boldly: "Although my grandfather is just a corpse chaser, he is really talented, this blood talisman is very useful, it can fix the corpse and ward off evil spirits, if it is put in the hands of a capable person, it can even play a more unexpected role, and the effect on the corpse is particularly good."
You are not an ordinary person, and you will definitely have to deal with those things in the future, and you will always be able to use this in the future. ”
Yunjing was speechless, defeated by this man's stubbornness.
Li Jianbei saw what Yunjing was thinking, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to leave soon, there's no need to waste it anymore, I used to be ignorant when I was a child, and I thought my grandfather was a liar, and I said a lot of bad things to my grandfather, but now I know how stupid I was at that time." Grandfather's relics are a waste of it, only in the hands of someone like you, can it play a real role, I know that you are a very kind person, I leave them to you, I am relieved. ”
"Why are you leaving right away?" Yunjing frowned and said, "Don't you like Xiang Zizhuo and want to come back with him?" ”
When Li Jianbei heard this, he shook his head sadly: "I am already a dead person, where can I still be with him, it is not good for a living person to live with a dead person for a long time, it is already extremely selfish for me to run back and be with him every day...... And...... Zizhuo is suitable for better girls...... He won't like my ......"
Li Jianbei turned his head uncomfortably, adjusted his emotions and said: "I was unwilling to die at first, I wanted to come back and play basketball with Zizhuo, at least to fulfill the promise agreed to participate in the city basketball game with him, but after I came back, I found that I couldn't play at all, and now I just want to watch Zizhuo Tong Guò be selected as a substitute, don't let me affect his performance...... The number of substitutes will be set tomorrow, and when it is confirmed that Zizhuo can participate in the competition, I will leave this world with peace of mind. ”
After Li Jianbei finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the bedroom, and Yun Jing looked at him for a long time, so he had to say, "If you need help, come to me." ”
Li Jianbei nodded: "If you can, I hope you can do me one last favor tomorrow night...... I'm sorry Yunjing, I really don't know how to thank you, I regret that I didn't find out that you were such a good person before, if we had met earlier, we might have been able to be friends. ”
Yun Jing looked at the look of regret on Li Jianbei's face, didn't explain much, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, Yunjing saw a person coming up from the staircase more than ten meters away, it was none other than Xiang Zizhuo, who had left angrily before, and he was still carrying two packed lunches in his hand, obviously, one was prepared for Li Jianbei.
Even in such an angry situation, he still remembered that the other party didn't eat and ran to buy food for Li Jianbei......
Xiang Zizhuo also noticed Yunjing, when he saw Yunjing coming out of the bedroom, Xiang Zizhuo's face turned dark, his face was inexplicably gloomy, and he walked coldly in the direction of Yunjing, and when he passed by Yunjing, Xiang Zizhuo deliberately glared at Yunjing again.
Yunjing completely ignored Xiang Zizhuo's warning and went back to the dormitory to study with the dream demon in his arms.
Although the original English is not so bad that I don't even know the English alphabet, as a visitor from another world, I feel very difficult to understand something like English, even if I check my memory.
English is the key target of the next cloudscape!
The English alphabet song of "......" sounded in Yunjing's bedroom, and while holding the dream demon and letting him study with him, Yunjing threw himself into the sea of learning......
