Chapter 17: The Necro Girl
After coming out of the "Hengfa Lingshi Cloth Shop", Mu Zilei came to a bookstore called "Golden Book House". The layout of the store is quite interesting, on the large and small bookshelves hanging from the ceiling, there are all kinds of books, there are ordinary paper, bamboo slips, parchment, and even stone books written on huge stone slabs; there are spirit books that require spiritual power to reach a certain level to open (Mu Zilei sees that the book with the highest requirements can only be read with the spiritual power of the spirit king), and even a thin soul book scroll that claims to be read only through what soul power; in addition, there are some books full of strange symbols, even if Mu Zilei can't understand them, he can't help but reach out and touch themγ
He quickly immersed himself in the world of books, and if it weren't for the continuous humming of the shopkeeper who pulled Mu Zilei out of the book "How the Lower Lower Rank Spirit Fighters of the Spirit Warriors Counterattacked the High Rank Spirit Fighters" written by Dr. Jing Wang, he doubted that he would soon be able to find a way to deal with Shi Chisha and them from this book. Helpless, Mu Zilei finally bought all the textbooks he needed in the shopkeeper's fragmented thoughts about his "There is a golden house in the book, just look at it and don't buy a golden house", and left.
Mu Zilei checked the list, and now he was short of equipment, he walked forward and saw a large number of people gathered in front of the list posted by the government, and the discussion sound like a bee buzzing sounded one after another. Driven by strong curiosity, Mu Zilei planned to go over to find out, he lowered his head and squeezed into the crowd, feeling that he had been squeezed for a quarter of an hour, and when he thought he was almost crowded, and when he raised his head, he was stunned, because he found that he was even farther away from that list, and the crowd in front of him not only did not decrease, but also increased several layers of people...... It's no wonder that Mu Zilei was originally a twelve-year-old child, not tall, and it was even more difficult to squeeze in with a bulky wooden leg band and a full cloth backpack.
Just when Mu Zilei was stunned, more curious people came behind him, and even a few of them pushed Mu Zilei quite rudely, and one of them said, "Little hairy boy, don't get in the way here, go to the side to play in the mud and sand." Mu Zilei was furious, his thick eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle into his eyebrows, he suddenly pretended to be frightened, and shouted in the crowd:
"The corpse is here!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers ran away like a frightened hen and dropped a bunch of chicken feathers, and they all ran away like a whirlwind. Although Mu Zilei also knew that the corpse spirit was terrifying, just saying it casually made people flee in the wilderness, and this result also made him unexpected. He took the opportunity to walk forward quickly, and found that there was a portrait on the list, which depicted a girl with short hair that looked rebellious--- and under the good-looking willow eyebrows, there were a pair of big eyes that were rejecting people thousands of miles away, the high and narrow bridge of the nose, and the delicate air with indifference. Biting his lip, which was almost bloodless, his immature face was a little pale.
Mu Zilei inexplicably felt a sense of pity for the little girl in the painting, although she looked cold and ruthless in the portrait, but under this cold appearance, there seemed to be a deep sadness that was not easy to detect.
He looked down at the portrait and saw that it was written in large letters with the words "Wanted Criminals with a Heavy Reward", and under the heading:
"Now a heavy reward is offered for a wanted criminal, this important criminal is named Mo Ziling, girl, thirteen years old, spirit master realm, once brutally slaughtered the entire Pingyao Village villagers, including ordinary children and the elderly, confirmed to be a corpse, one of the top ten wanted felons in the Governor's Office......"
Mu Zilei thought to himself, no wonder everyone hurriedly walked away as soon as they talked about the corpse just now, it turned out that it happened to be a wanted notice about the corpse. Slaughtered the people of the whole village? Mu Zilei couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought of that terrible scene.
Mu Zilei continued to look down.
"For those who can capture the woman alive or provide effective clues for the pursuit, the government will give a heavy reward of 800 carats at a time. β
When Mu Zilei read the final reward of 800 carat coins, his heart bounced like a rubber band, 800 carats! This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for Mu Zilei, a poor egg! You know, Mu Zilei bought so many things today, and he has only spent less than 30 Baker coins so far. 800 golden carats are equivalent to a full 8,000 silver Baker and 80,000 copper-colored Bella!
When Mu Zilei thought of 800 golden carats, his saliva was about to flow. If only I could meet this girl......
Thinking about it, Mu Zilei also knows that this is unrealistic, in the vast sea of people, you have to meet a wanted criminal hiding everywhere, not to mention that there is no chance, but even if there is, it is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack, and besides, if you really meet, according to the statement on the wanted notice, this little girl is a talented and powerful spiritual master, it is estimated that with a little finger, Mu Zilei with a piece of spiritual power can be killed, and it is too late to escape from the sight of this kind of murderous and unblinking demon.
Mu Zilei didn't think about it anymore, straightened up his backpack and turned to leave, and after walking a few steps, he met the old enemy Shi Chisha, who walked over with a few followers like the moon.
"Ouch, isn't this a calamity wooden crutch with a pair of large wooden shoes? I didn't expect to meet here, it seems that I found someone to practice boxing again today." β
"Isn't it easy to practice boxing? can't you just finish beating your own fat meat?" Mu Zilei said without showing weakness.
On Shi Chisha's pale and fat face, the smile that was still wearing ill will disappear and be replaced by a cold chill.
"I don't know what tricks you used to get the Bacon Academy to admit you, but don't be too happy, I guess someone will push you into the dung pit on the first day," he told Mu Zilei, "Do you want to practice now?" The attendants next to him burst into laughter in a very cooperative manner.
"Those buckets," Mu Zilei shook his head and said with a smile, "I dare say that no one is better suited to stuff them into than you." β
The laughter stopped, the corners of Shi Chisha's mouth twitched, and his fists clenched with a gurgling sound, and several followers behind him took a step forward very familiarly, faintly surrounding Mu Zilei, all with a cat-and-mouse playful expression.
"Do you want to bully more and less? This is Shashi Town, not Stone Village, and there are government patrols everywhere nearby, if you are not afraid of making a big fuss?"
Mu Zilei ignored the actions of the others, and only looked directly at Shi Chisha. The immature face seems to be calm and abnormal, but in fact, the heart is already ready to slip away.
"You reminded me and dragged him into the alley. Shi Chisha shouted.
"Catch your lord!" Mu Zilei shouted back, Shi Chisha and they turned their heads when they heard the words, but found that they had been fooled, Mu Zilei, who was still standing in front of them just now, had already dragged the cumbersome wooden leg hoop into the small alley next to him.
"What a fool, and he obediently ran into the alley by himself. Shi Chisha sneered, and took the lead in catching up.
However, he soon realized that they were led by the nose, and Mu Zilei picked some narrow lanes to walk through, and finally the chase ended with the fat Shi Chisha stuck in an alleyway, allowing Mu Zilei to run away.
Mu Zilei stopped and gasped, he thought to himself, it seems that wearing such a wooden leg hoop, it is not only difficult to run, but also a lot slower.
At this moment, his stomach began to growl, he took out the bag of steamed buns from the cloth backpack, walked to a corner, and was about to take a big bite, when a disgusting smell of water came and made his appetite disappear immediately, he followed the smell and looked in the middle of a small alley in front of him, and found an unkempt and disheveled beggar girl turning over a bucket of water. The barrel was undoubtedly too tall for the girl, so much so that the girl had to put half of her body into the barrel with her feet in the air. The girl was rummaging through the water for food to eat, and not far from the girl, there was an equally sloppy kitten with white fur and black spots eating what the girl had probably found out. The pungent smell made the occasional pedestrians passing by the alley avoid the girl as if fleeing the plague.
Mu Zilei is also from a poor family, he experienced famine when he was a child, and he knows what it feels like to be hungry, he is suddenly full of pity and sympathy for this miserable and poor girl, in the dark, he unconsciously dragged his clicking legs towards the girl, the girl suddenly raised her head from the bucket, her feet fell to the ground, and looked at Mu Zilei fixedly. Mu Zilei obviously didn't expect her to be like this suddenly, and she was at a loss for a while.
"Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, give me food. The girl said coldly to Mu Zilei.
"It's all for you, this is a steamed bun made by my mother's novice, it's delicious. Mu Zilei was stunned at first, and then he smiled and handed over all the steamed buns in his hand.
The girl took the steamed bun handed by Mu Zilei with her dirty hand, and then ran away quickly into the alley with his surprised gaze, and the kitten also left after her. Mu Zilei looked at the hand he was still stretching forward, and thought to himself, she should at least thank my mother before leaving. At this time, a team of government catchers patrolled the streets outside the alley.
