Chapter 19: Covering up
"Pour the blood from the vial on the tip of the pen!" Zhongli Fei said hurriedly.
Chu Fan hurriedly took the bottle and pulled the cork, and a few drops of crystal clear red liquid immediately fell on the bristles.
In an instant, the whole brush shone brightly, and it didn't look like a mortal thing.
Zhong Lifei lifted the pen on the surface of the oil lamp and danced.
Transformed into a monster, Emile immediately sensed the danger and struggled desperately in the lamp.
The oil lamp shook in Zhong Lifei's hand, but he was unmoved, and calmly wrote lines of text.
When Zhong Lifei finished writing the last word, Emile stopped struggling and howled like a beast, "Bastard, what did you do to me? ”
Zhong Lifei said coldly: "This is a forbidden spell written in the blood of the gods, which is enough to make you trapped in the lamp and never get out again!" ”
"Damn! You liar! ”
Emile struggled again, but each struggle was accompanied by a tremendous sense of oppression that firmly constrained his movements.
Zhong Lifei turned his head to Chu Fan and said with a hippie smile: "Apprentice, pick up some dry firewood, we will roast this guy to death slowly!" ”
Chu Fan stood still and said in surprise: "Didn't Master say that there are no immortals in the world before, where does this divine blood come from?" ”
"What I'm saying is that there are no immortals now, it doesn't mean that there were none before."
Zhong Lifei continued: "Don't underestimate these few drops of divine blood left over from ancient times, I spent a lot of money to get them. ”
Chu Fan was even more puzzled, how could a person who practiced martial arts have the ability to write powerful spells, only immortal cultivators have this ability.
He couldn't help but ask again, "Master, when did you learn to draw talismans and recite mantras?" ”
"Ah, this ......"
Zhong Li Fei blinked and said, "This is something that the master learned from a Jianghu warlock when he was young, in fact, it doesn't have much effect, it all relies on divine blood to exert its power, and the charm is just a superficial form." ”
This explanation obviously couldn't convince Chu Fan, all the disciples of the Xuanwu Sect knew that Zhong Lifei was a nonsense.
I wanted to ask again, Zhong Lifei had a dark face, and said, "Hurry up and find dry firewood to raise the fire, you will be fully responsible for this thing running away!" ”
"Spare me, I don't want to die!" Amir exclaimed.
Zhong Li Fei said coldly: "Hmph, spare you, so that you can continue to harm people?" ”
"I have a kind temperament and have never harmed anyone in my life. Buddhists are very compassionate, you can't treat me like this! ”
"Dare to lie! Besides, I'm not a monk either! ”
"What are you lying to, otherwise how would I hide in the lamp aggrievedly!"
"Oh, yes!"
Zhong Lifei touched his chin and said in surprise: "You corrupt and depraved race has always respected the strong, and you naturally like to kill and fight, what is your conspiracy to do the opposite and hide in this broken lamp?" ”
"I have no conspiracy, purely for self-preservation."
"Oh, really?"
"I hate the smell of blood, and I am a freak and an alien in the eyes of my kind. Since I was born into this world, I have been hiding like a lonely ghost......"
"Enough!"
Emile was about to tell the story, Zhong Lifei suddenly interrupted and said impatiently, "I'm not interested in listening to the story, I just want to know why you're hiding in the lamp!" ”
"Once upon a time when I was wandering in Kangju, I heard a storyteller tell the story of the lamp god, and I came up with this way to hide my identity and avoid being hunted down by my fellow people. ”
"Haha, I guessed it!"
Zhong Lifei laughed and said, "You are an impostor god, you have no ability to fulfill people's wishes at all. ”
"That's right," said Amir, "every time the lampbearer makes a wish, I will use various excuses to get by, and I will be safe for hundreds of years until I meet you two. ”
"Hehe, I'm the ancestor of a liar, and when you touch me, you've been moldy for eight lifetimes!"
Zhong Lifei smiled evilly and said, "In this way, you are a useless thing, and it is superfluous to keep it, and you will be burned to death by fire!" ”
"Don't!"
Amir cried out in horror, "I, I'm proficient in medicine...... Any incurable disease can be cured. ”
"Today, you are Hua Tuo, and you will not escape death in your next life!" Zhong Lifei continued to intimidate.
Chu Fan, who had been in a daze, suddenly interjected and said, "Master, don't kill him yet, it may be of some use to us." ”
Zhong Lifei didn't give up: "Hmph, I was cheated out of a lot of money by the doctor before, and I have to be angry with him today!" ”
"Master, Uncle Wang is seriously ill, why don't you let this impostor be cured, it can be regarded as atonement."
"yes, why didn't I think of that?"
Zhongli Fei changed his mind and said to Amir: "Leave you a dog alive for the time being, and take you back to the village to treat people, but you have to behave well for me, otherwise you will die an ugly death!" ”
Emile nodded yes and again, vowing that he would never lie.
The master and apprentice were about to go home, when Zhong Lifei suddenly had an idea.
He smiled and said to Chu Fan: "Apprentice, go and call a few villagers outside the village to come in for a walk." ”
"The robbers are all dead, what are you calling them to come up for?"
"Hehe, wouldn't it be a pity not to let them see such a big scene with their own eyes?" Zhong Lifei laughed evilly again.
Chu Fan immediately understood, and said disdainfully: "Do you want to take the credit?" ”
"Anyway, the murderer doesn't have the courage to come forward to testify, why don't we pick up a ready-made bargain."
Chu Fan almost vomited blood when he heard this, and a lot of dirty words kept pouring out in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
He couldn't disobey the master's order, so he had to go out of the village to find the villagers.
After Chu Fan brought the villagers into the village, his eyelids jumped and his legs trembled.
He saw Zhong Lifei write a line of shiny big characters on the door of the Juyi Hall: For the Heavenly Walker, Xuanwu Gate Zhong Lifei is also!
Bah, Master, you are too shameless, too unreliable!
Chu Fan couldn't understand that Zhong Lifei, who had always been scheming, would actually make a very low-level mistake at this moment for the sake of showing off for a while!
Revealing one's identity so blatantly is tantamount to irritating the murderer.
In case he can't stand this stimulus and secretly retaliates against us, how will he deal with it?
Suddenly, Chu Fan fell into deep thought.
And those unsuspecting villagers, after seeing this bloody scene, exclaimed: "Master Zhongli, have all the robbers in Heifeng Village been killed by you?" ”
Zhong Lifei pretended to sigh and said: "Alas, it took so long to deal with a few thieves, it seems that I haven't practiced for a long time, and I have regressed a lot." ”
Later, he said a lot of boasting without blushing and heartbeat, but Chu Fan didn't hear a word clearly.
He only knew that after returning to the village, the villagers regarded them as big heroes, and even the little flower girl who was prejudiced against him before surrounded him, offering courtesy from time to time.
Not surprisingly, in the evening the master cheated on the village chief for a sumptuous dinner.
Full of wine and food, Zhong Lifei came to the old man's house with a full burp.
After explaining the intention, it immediately brought a lot of shock to the grandfather and grandson.
In addition to being surprised, Old Man Wang and Xiaohua pinned their hopes on the master and apprentice, and the expression of ardent hope was unbearable even for Chu Fan.
Zhong Lifei smiled slightly, took off the burden on his body, and handed the oil lamp to Old Man Wang.
Chu Fan knew that the master was going to do business, so he hurriedly covered the door to prevent someone from peeping and saw through the heavenly opportunity.
"Please, it's your turn to show off your skills."
Zhong Lifei's tone became a little polite, and at the same time motioned for Xiaohua to bring a pot of water.
"No problem." As soon as Amir answered, he frightened the old man Wang's family.
"There are ghosts!"
Suddenly hearing a human voice coming from the lamp, Old Man Wang was taken aback on the spot, if it wasn't for Zhong Lifei catching the falling oil lamp in time, he would almost fall to the ground and smash it.
"Don't worry, this is the miracle doctor I came to heal."
Zhong Lifei was kind and pleasant, and took out the brush with the rune written on it.
After the tip of the pen was wet in the basin, he drew a strange seal around the nozzle.
After a while, a trace of black gas floated out of the mouth of the lamp, and it did not escape in all directions, but condensed and formed.
In the end, the image that appeared was neither the tall blue giant nor the true face of Amir, but a half-foot-tall dwarf with crane hair and a childish face.
Amir didn't brag, he just stretched out his index finger and pressed it on the door of Wang Lao's head a few times, and then said the cause: "Syncope disease." ”
"Not bad."
Seeing that Emir's diagnosis was accurate, Zhong Lifei had a satisfied smile on his face.
Then Emir prescribed a prescription, but the old man Wang was not relieved after reading the medicinal materials listed on the list.
On the contrary, there is still a little worry on the face.
Zhong Lifei, of course, knew what Old Man Wang was worried about, and he grinned and pressed his hand on the table.
When the big hand took it away, a stack of glittering star coins was piled up on the table.
Chu Fan silently counted twenty-five.
"Did Master take the wrong medicine? The money is given to them, what will we do with food and drink in the future? ”
He was stunned, just incredible.
Zhong Lifei didn't care at all, he just didn't know if his expression was fake.
Immediately, Zhong Lifei smiled and said, "Old man, this money is enough to cure the disease, right?" ”
After a period of silence, Old Man Wang and Xiaohua understood Zhong Lifei's kindness and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Master Zhongli's great kindness, our family will remember it in our hearts, and we will repay it another day!"
"Ahh This one...... There's no need to repay the favor. ”
Zhong Lifei hurriedly waved his hand, and then gave them an even bigger surprise.
"Old man, I will show you another way to make a fortune, and you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
Immediately, he looked at Xiaohua and said with a smile: "Don't go out to do odd jobs in the future, stay at home and serve grandpa with peace of mind." ”
Xiaohua turned red, knowing that Zhong Lifei was warning himself to stop doing those robbery deeds.
Zhong Lifei squinted at Emir and said, "In the future, you don't run around, stay in the lamp honestly and help people see a doctor." Of course, the consultation fee has to go to Uncle Wang, and if you have any needs, let Uncle Wang spend money to meet them. ”
Only then did everyone understand that Zhong Lifei meant to let Old Man Wang pretend to be a miracle doctor to make money, but in fact, it was Aimir who was hidden in the oil lamp to treat people.
In this way, the life of Old Man Wang's family is guaranteed, and Emir does not have to disguise himself as a lamp god to deceive the world.
It seems to be the best of both worlds, but after listening to Zhong Lifei's words, Emir actually smiled evilly.
Seeing this situation, Chu Fan secretly said that he was broken, knowing that Emir was unwilling to give in easily.
