Chapter Twenty-Three: Send Them Home
After throwing Zhang Zhengyi aside, the two sheep demons turned around and greeted the surrounding monsters.
"Hey, you're in the medicine furnace again?"
The sheep demon smiled maliciously.
The youkai who was doing the experiment gave him a blank look, "What about that?" It's not like the two of you, who have already been promoted to pharmacists, and can directly conduct live experiments. β
The goatee smiled proudly, "That's also appreciated by the seniors, you guys, in terms of human sophistication, you still have to learn more from human beings." β
"Cut!" The recorded youkai shook his hand impatiently.
"Let's go, don't upset everyone here."
After that, it seemed to remember again, and said to the two monsters, "By the way, there are a few medicine furnaces here that have been discarded, so let's deal with them medically." β
Goatee hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you eat it?" β
"Yes! It's just that there is no job on the market. The monster waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to stop bothering him.
The goatee grinned, winked at his swarthy companion, smiled, and headed for the shelf where the knives were kept.
At a cursory glance, I didn't see where the long knife was?
"Huh? And what about the cleaver? Without that, these medicine stoves are a bit of a hassle to deal with. The goatee muttered.
The recorded youkai didn't look up, feeling that the goatee was a little annoying.
"Here I am." A low voice rang out from behind the goatee, audible only to it and the swarthy goat.
"Thank you." The goatee and the swarthy goat demon turned around with a smile, and were about to reach for the knife.
A chill swept through in an instant.
The throats of the two demons and the trachea and vocal cords were cut open together, and blood gushed like a spring.
The goat demon looked at the child below him in shock, he was now holding a half-height broad knife, which was the same disemboweling knife they usually used to dissect human children.
He wanted to say something, but his vocal cords were cut off, and he couldn't say anything, and he fell straight down as if all his strength had been drained.
Zhang Zhengyi's eyes were indifferent, and he supported the two sheep demons with both hands and slowly put them on the ground.
There was no sound at all during the whole process.
He picked up the half-height cleaver again, and looked at the other sheep demons in this room, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
A few minutes later.
Zhang Zhengyi went around to the back of the last sheep demon, and swung the rifting knife with all his might.
Burst!
One head slammed into the ground, staring wide-eyed along with the other four heads on the ground.
"Help, help me," cried a feeble child, one of the few who was still awake.
Zhang Zhengyi walked up to him, looked at his festering skin, and his blackened cheeks, and after being silent for a long time, he showed a smile and said, "Don't worry, you sleep first, and when you wake up, I'll send you home, okay?" β
Perhaps it was the face of his peers in front of him, combined with his older brother-like temperament, that brought the child an inexplicable sense of security, and he nodded and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhang Zhengyi looked at him and clenched the clutch knife in his hand.
"Are you going to kill him? He couldn't live anymore. A crisp voice rang out.
Zhang Zhengyi let go of the knife and turned to look at the speaker.
It was a little girl, with a dark complexion, but her eyes were bright and vibrant, completely different from the frailty of the children around her.
"Sometimes, death can be a relief." Zhang Zhengyi sighed.
The children around here are all exuding the aura of decay, if it weren't for some kind of life-sustaining thing by these sheep demons, it is estimated that they would not be able to hold it for a long time.
However, it is limited to being alive.
Death may be another kind of happiness for them.
"Can you take me with you, then?" The little girl looked at Zhang Zhengyi expectantly and jumped off the stone platform.
"I can still live, and I can live for a long time, those people's medicine is useless to me, and these changes in my body are all controlled by myself."
As she spoke, the blackness of her face quickly dissipated, revealing a slightly darkened little face, although it was a little dirty, but it could still be seen that she was full of energy.
Zhang Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered several genius physiques that Bai Mo had told him, among which there was a physique suitable for martial artists and sword cultivators-the microscopic body.
Able to control the changes of the body independently, and have a deep control over the inside, such a person, whether it is martial arts or sword cultivation, is an excellent genius.
"Someone from the east is coming!" The girl snapped up.
Zhang Zhengyi was stunned, "How do you know?" β
As soon as the words fell, a sheep demon walked in, looking at the corpses all over the ground and was stunned.
"There's an enemy attackβ"
As soon as he started shouting, he was plunged into his chest with a throwing knife.
Unfortunately, it was too late to strike, and the pace on the tunnel behind him quickly accelerated, apparently hearing the sound of a reminder.
Zhang Zhengyi's face changed, and he pulled the little girl and ran in the other direction.
"Don't, run somewhere else, there are youkai over there, too!" The little girl reminded Zhang Zhengyi to look at her and explained, "I can hear the voices of the people around me." β
Zhang Zhengyi's eyes widened, "Are you still clear-hearted?" β
The heart is clear, you can hear the voice of the people, but the mood is thorough, all thoughts are clear, so all the laws are smooth.
Is this still a good seedling for cultivating immortals?
Zhang Zhengyi immediately listened to her and ran in the other direction.
Looking at her as she ran, I couldn't believe it.
I went out on my own and actually picked up a combination of the microbody and the heart purifier?
If Bai Mo knew, he was afraid that he would be crazy enough to call him master.
"Left!"
"Right!"
"There's one up ahead!"
Although they avoided being blocked many times according to the girl's instructions, the more youkai surrounded them, the less room the two of them had to move.
Finally, the two were blocked in a dead hole.
Listening to the increasingly dense footsteps around him, Zhang Zhengyi looked anxious.
The girl was also terrified.
Quietly pulled Zhang Zhengyi's sleeve.
dragged down, but accidentally pulled out an object.
Zhang Zhengyi looked at the object and was stunned.
Chenghuang's golden cane.
In this cane, it seems to contain the power of the city god - breaking the boundary, which can connect the underworld and the present world.
Zhang Zhengyi's face was happy, listening to the footsteps around him who were about to arrive, and grabbed the little girl and the golden cane.
"Breaking boundaries!"
The two disappeared in an instant.
In the next second, a sheep demon with a stick in his hand rushed out, "Caught youβhuh?" What about people? β
Yin Si, the city god cave sky.
Zhang Zhengyi smashed his butt on the ground, and the little girl also smashed straight on Zhang Zhengyi, and the two of them fell into a rut.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Zhengyi hurriedly turned over and checked whether the girl was injured.
The girl shook her head, "I'm fine. β
Zhang Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, an unpredictable voice came from the sky, "Who trespassed into the Chenghuang Cave Heaven?" β
Zhang Zhengyi rolled his eyes, "Me! Zhang Zhengyi, Night Tour Shensi! β
In the next second, in the surprised eyes of the little girl, a tall figure fell from the sky, and happily ran over to greet Zhang Zhengyi.
"Is he an immortal?" The girl asked in surprise.
Zhang Zhengyi exhaled and got up, "Sort of." β
"What's your name?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I have been a beggar since I was a child, I have no name, and everyone calls me Ah Li." β
Zhang Zhengyi nodded and said to the body of the city god beside him, "Take care of her." β
Then he walked forward.
Under Ah Li's surprised gaze, Zhang Zhengyi's body gradually grew larger, and finally returned to its original shape and stepped into a pitch-black passage.
"Where are you going?" Ah Li asked.
Zhang Zhengyi stood in the passage, "Go and help those children go home." β
Then, without looking back, he stepped into the passage to the present world.
