Everyone was silent, obviously not a good sign. I forced a smile: "It seems that I have matured a lot, how much gray hair have I?" ”

None of the others spoke, and Zuihou still said with a compass: "It's okay, it's only about thirty percent white." Amitabha. ”

They hadn't seen me for a few hours, and my hair had turned 30% white, no wonder I was so shocked, and only someone as carefree as Compass could say the word "okay".

Lu Qingwen asked, "You can't have fallen for some curse spell, right?" ”

I thought of Dong Xu, who was half human and half zombie, who once sucked more than ninety percent of my spiritual energy, and used my body to filter the dead qi, I am afraid that he was affected by this.

Xiaoxue said in my heart: "No, it's because you are about to end your life, and you are continuously overtired, and your exhaustion has led to gray hair." You only have less than four years left, and judging from the remnants of innate vitality, it is equivalent to a ...... People over sixty years old. ”

"What?" I was taken aback, I didn't expect that I had reached such a serious level, no wonder it was difficult to recover after my physical strength and energy were exhausted today, I always felt powerless, especially weak, I was already equivalent to a person over sixty years old!

People asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "If there is no miracle, I will only live for less than four years, and now I am equivalent to an old man over sixty years old, so ...... Well, at least I don't look that old on the outside, which is a good thing. ”

Lin Mei held my hand tightly, I felt her hand trembling slightly, Compass recited "Amitabha", and no one else spoke.

Xiaoxue said in my heart: "Childe, you can't be too optimistic, although your body is still strong and young now, it is like a tree without roots, water without a source, and it will age rapidly in the future." Every overuse of physical and mental strength will exacerbate your aging, and even if you maintain it well, it will gradually fail, so there are some things you need to prepare for in advance. ”

I didn't understand for a while what she meant by preparing early, Xiaoxue sighed: "There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, if you want to leave a little blood and bones, you have to do it early, and then later, if you want to give birth to a boy and half a girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to give birth." ”

I was stunned again, in fact, I had thought about this issue, but I didn't expect it to be so urgent, so I have been trying my best to avoid it and not want to touch it. I grew up in the countryside, received a traditional education, and the concept of getting married and having children is still quite heavy, of course, I hope that the incense can be passed on. However, the hope of finding the eight jade talismans is very slim, and it is very likely that I will die in three or four years, how can I bear to leave orphans and widows to suffer in the world?

I never want to hurt innocent people, let alone hurt people who love me and the people I love, knowing that there is death and no life, but I use Lin Mei to have children, how can I do this? But if I don't live, it is possible that when I die, there will be nothing left, and Lin Mei will have no hope of living again......

It's a tough choice.

Lu Qingwen saw that I was stunned, thinking that I was afraid of death, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find eight jade talismans within four years and send you to your youth!" ”

I didn't want to say more to her, so I smiled dryly: "Everyone who has the strength can do it, gather the corpses together and burn them, and then get out of here." ”

Lu Qingwen glanced at the corpse in the distance: "Have you found the jade talisman?" ”

"Not on him. What do you see what this is? I said, pulling out the magnetic card and handing it over.

Lu Qingwen took it and took a closer look, and other people also came over to take a look, but except for knowing that it was a magnetic card, there was no other opinion. Lu Qingwen said suspiciously: "This should be a door card, in some high-tech important departments, or high-security departments need this kind of door card to enter, and the door can be opened with a stroke in the card reader." It could also be some kind of safe key card, which is required to open. ”

I frowned: "You mean the bank's safe deposit box?" ”

"No, I haven't heard of any bank where the safe deposit box uses such a magnetic card to unlock the lock, and it is only used in some very high-end places...... There's no electricity here, so I definitely won't use this thing, so I'll contact a professional to identify it when I get back to town. ”

Now it can only be like this, I didn't expect to go through hardships, die nine times, not find what I wanted, not even reliable clues, coupled with the shadow of aging, made me extremely depressed.

After taking the pill given by Gao Feng and resting for a while, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei were able to walk on their own. Compass and Huang Yilan had already dressed, Kompa was unharmed, Huang Yilan lost all his hair and hair, and even his eyebrows were gone, but his skin was a little red and swollen.

I was surprised and asked Kompasu: "weishenme your clothes are all corroded by blood, are you completely fine?" ”

Compass also looked puzzled, touched his bald head, and said with a smile: "Of course the Buddha is blessing me." ”

This answer is omnipotent, it can explain any incurable disease, I can only be speechless, turned my head and asked Huang Yilan: "Are you okay?" ”

Huang Yilan looked at his hands and feet: "It's okay, it's like being scalded by hot water, it's a little hot." ”

Xiaoxue said in my heart: "The magic power of Buddhism can also be unharmed, and all poisons will not invade, and the compass was in a very good state at the time, maybe blood and water could not touch his body; Huang Yilan should have some kind of resistance and is not afraid of blood and water corrosion. Fortunately, it was the two of them who were sprayed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

I wiped a cold sweat, how could I be at ease if one of us died here? You can't take them to too dangerous places in the future.

"Alas, I didn't want to be a monk, but I didn't expect to become a monk." Huang Yilan was a little resentful, and touched her bald head from time to time.

Compass smiled: "This shows that you have a relationship with my Buddha, and you will become a poor monk." ”

"Go, go, you dare to accept me, I will break all the precepts, and your Buddha will be so angry that he will jump off the shrine!"

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

After disposing of the bodies, we got together to discuss what to do. Based on the clues, everyone agreed that this place had been abandoned by the Xuanming Sect, and only the Dongxu and Xuanming Venerable were inconvenient to take away and stay here. In order to deal with me, Cangwu reactivated this place, and the four copper zombies and more than twenty iron zombies may be the guards who stayed here originally, or they may be the thugs called by Cangwu.

So where is the new foothold of the Xuanming Sect? Who is their leader? weishenme abandoned the nest that had been in business for hundreds of years and started anew? Too many questions to explain.

I thought of the old witch Muyun in Huangjia Village, but her witchcraft was obviously different from the exercises of the Xuanming Sect, she only protected the village and didn't care about the outside affairs, and it was unlikely that she would be the leader of the Xuanming Sect. The villages around here may have something to do with the Xuanming Sect, but it will definitely not be the main force of the Xuanming Sect, and the Xuanming Sect should have moved to a far place, otherwise we would have made such a big disturbance, and they would have already rushed to support.

Even if it's an abandoned place, it's not worth wasting our time searching. We started walking back, walking to the top and looking down, I was sure that in the valley was a semi-natural and artificially constructed Yin Gathering Array, but now the Yin Qi was not as heavy as it had been when it came in. This shows that the blood pool and the nearby Yin Qi have not been replenished in time after being purified, which in turn indicates that the Yin Qi of the leylines has weakened or even dried up, perhaps this is the biggest reason why the Xuan Ming Sect has given up here.

As the saying goes, the emperor takes turns, and when he comes to my house next year, the dragon veins will be transferred, and a few hundred years is enough time for the mountains and rivers to change, and the leylines and spiritual energy to be transferred, so it is not surprising that the leylines and yin qi here are exhausted.

walked out of the cave calmly all the way, the sky was not yet dawn, everything was silent, even the sound of night insects was very little, and Lu Qiang's figure was not seen. But soon Xiaoxue found him hiding in a big tree and sleeping, safe and sound, and we were relieved.

Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei had lost too much blood, their bodies were weak, and they urgently needed to replenish their nutrition, and the dry food we brought was not nutritious, and the nearby villages were not willing to accept outsiders, so we could only choose to go back to the city first. The clues of the Xuanming Sect, I can only pin on that magnetic card of unknown origin.

On the way back, we were careful that we would encounter a strong enemy, but we did not encounter any danger. When we got to the place where the boulder had collapsed, there were already people working on the road, and there happened to be a truck transporting workers and machinery back to the city, so we gave the driver some money and took a ride back to Jishou.

Before the car entered the city, Lu Qiang resolutely got out of the car and left, I knew that he was afraid of being seen with us, but was it safe for him to leave? I'm worried about that, but we can't protect him all the time, and in fact we don't know where the enemy is, and we can't even guarantee our own safety, so how can we guarantee his safety? I had to let him go.

We stayed in a relatively remote inn, Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng left with the magnetic card, without saying where to go, nor how long they were going to go. Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei have big fish and meat, food supplements and medicine supplements go hand in hand, and they sleep for a long time when they are full. Huang Yilan's skin redness and swelling disappeared after two days, but it was still unknown whether he could grow hair and eyebrows again, so he was depressed and stared at the TV all day looking for hair growth ads.

My mental and physical strength has basically recovered, but I do not feel as good as before, my hair is much grayer, Xu Bei's temples are already half white, like a fifty-six-year-old person, but fortunately, there are no wrinkles on my face, and my muscles are still hard, it seems that it is not as terrible as Xiaoxue said.

Lin Mei put the relic necklace on me, and followed me almost every inch, as if she was afraid that I would disappear suddenly, but she was afraid of the jokes of her companions, so she still slept separately from me at night.

On the second night of returning to the city, after Lin Mei left, I was about to meditate and practice, Xiaoxue suddenly said: "Childe, this time I am fortunate that you learned the Xuanyin True Yang Claw, otherwise we would not be able to come back, but the Xuanyin True Yang Claw consumes spiritual energy, and it has no obvious effect on dealing with spirits, you should refine a magic weapon that has a powerful effect on dealing with yin and evil things." ”

"How?"

"Have you forgotten the Nedan of the Firescale Piercing Dragon? In the past, you didn't have enough strength to refin, but now you can refine, but you've been very busy and don't have time to refine, now if you don't have anything else, you can give it a try. ”

Only then did I think of the scale armor and Neidan of the Fire Scale Pangolin Dragon, which I had forgotten after being in Xiaoxue's Qiankun bag for too long. Recently, I feel a little weak in my head, coupled with forgetfulness, is it really old?
