Chapter 8: The Incomplete Hope Technique
"Oh? What's weird? ”
Li Daoxuan asked as he opened the letter in his hand.
"I heard the old yellow head who bought vegetables in the back kitchen say that in one day yesterday, more than a dozen people died in our town, and all of them died...... It's weird. ”
When the maid said this, she shrank her head, and her eyes were full of fear.
"Oh?"
Li Daoxuan stopped what he was doing and looked at her, "Tell me." ”
"Hmm."
The maid gritted her teeth and nodded slightly, "It seems to say that every person who dies begins to decay in a short time, and just after an hour of death, it is the same as a person who has been dead for a few days, and ...... And every dead person is found, there is a bowl of rice next to them. ”
"A bowl of rice?"
When Li Daoxuan heard this, he was already sure in his heart that most of this was the five turbidity and evil again, the five turbid and chaotic times, the dusty world was polluted, and any cow, ghost, snake and god would come out.
"Well, at first they said that they were killed, but when there were so many people who died, everyone said that it was ...... It's ......"
"It's all ghosts, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The maid nodded hurriedly, and she was about to cry in fright.
"We haven't seen such a dead person in our house yet, have we?"
"No, not yet."
"Okay, you go down first, if there is such a dead person in our house, remember to tell me in time."
Once such a dead person appears in the mansion, it means that the evil cult may already be in the Li mansion.
After the maid left, Li Daoxuan looked at the letter.
The handwriting is familiar, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by Li Peishan.
"Son, when you read this letter, my father was already on his way to the Flesh Shop Blood Workshop, and I also brought your mother with me, so you don't have to worry.
As for why I didn't take you with me, it wasn't because of anything else, but my father couldn't rest assured of you.
The ghost market is full of grain eaters, they are not as easy to talk as mortals, and in that ghost market, we don't have any inheritance, everything has to start over.
So Dad went to explore the road first, and then came back to pick him up when Dad was settled.
You don't have to look for it.
The house will be handed over to you, the five turbidity is coming, in fact, there is nothing at home, and the servant maid may not be able to send it next month, you can see if you can think of a way.
If you can't help it, you can be dismissed.
Live well and wait for Daddy to come back and pick you up! ”
Li Daoxuan, who read the letter, raised his eyebrows, so Li Peishan left in such a hurry to hurry up?
Afraid of being discovered by yourself, you want to keep up?
As for the reason for not bringing himself, Li Daoxuan naturally wouldn't believe the nonsense in his letter.
It's not that he doesn't know his methods, and the reason why he runs so fast is probably because he is afraid that after he follows, he will rob him of his inheritance.
But it's good that he leaves, so that he doesn't have an enemy behind him, a friend or a friend, and while dealing with the evil, he has to worry about him putting a black gun.
After all, a ruthless man who can push his own son out as bait, just so that he can embark on the path of a grain eater.
Lee Do-hyun has reason to doubt everything about him.
"I don't know if he took away those ancient books left by his ancestors."
Li Daoxuan thought about it all the way to the study, first lit a candle to burn the letter paper, and then groped around the bookshelf for a while, found the dark grid in it and gently pressed it.
After a slight sound, a shelf opened, and all that was in it was ...... Two blank sheets of paper.
Well?
Li Daoxuan took it out and saw that one of the blank pieces of paper turned out to be a letter left by Li Peishan's house.
"Son, you shouldn't be a rat, you've found it here.
Don't worry, Dad is not scolding you, you can find this place, it means that you should indeed take the path of a grain eater.
It's just a little test for you.
What is recorded on another piece of paper in the dark compartment is a secular art, the art of looking at qi.
What I got from Liu Kai can be regarded as compensation for our family, you should take a good look at it and strive to learn it within half a year.
That's all Daddy can do to help you. ”
After reading this letter, Li Daoxuan just wanted to scold his mother.
"This Li Peishan really doesn't do anything at all, I'm his own child, and I don't know how to treat me better?"
"Obviously the loot I got from Liu Kai is still hidden so deeply, if I can't find it here, wouldn't it mean that I won't be ready to leave it to me?"
"! Scald! ”
After venting, Li Daoxuan also calmed down...... He seems to be afraid that I will improve my strength, but he also has a kind of tangled psychology that wants me to become stronger.
Li Daoxuan couldn't figure out what this cheap dad thought, and he looked at another blank piece of paper.
[You found a mutilated secular art from a piece of hand-made paper, you were very happy, and when you studied it carefully, you found that what was recorded on it was actually the practice method of an ancient secular art "Knowing Qi", and your survival point was +10 (white). 】
[Although the content on this handmade paper is not complete, you have still mastered some of the methods of practicing secular arts through the incomplete content. 】
[You have learned the mutilated secular art: Qi Recognition (Crippled)]
[Recognition of Qi (Remnant): The worldly miasma is charming, you half-close your eyes into the quiet, seem to look instead of looking, and you can investigate the worldly miasma by focusing on the heart. But remember, the consciousness is a rebellion against the rules of the world, and it should not be used much. 】
A series of words popped up on the panel, and before Li Daoxuan could finish reading it, there was an additional method of using a vulgar technique in his mind.
"This ......"
"This panel even has a one-click learning function?"
Just judging from the description on the panel, there are side effects from using this secular technique.
Li Daoxuan looked at the extra memories in his mind, and just wanted to find someone to try, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
He closed the compartment and burned the paper, and the figure appeared in the doorway.
The person who came was the steward of the Li Mansion, with the same surname as Li.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, a trace of whiteness flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes, and in the fog, he saw a blood-red smoke hovering above the head of this Li Steward.
According to the description of "Qi Recognition", this means that Steward Li has recently had a bloody disaster?
Steward Li bent down slightly and said:
"Childe, the mayor is here."
"The mayor is here?"
Li Daoxuan put away his distracting thoughts and remembered what Li Peishan said, this town mayor's family is also inherited by grain eaters.
Since he is here now, it is probably for the sake of these turbid and chaotic times.
"Let's go."
Li Daoxuan walked towards the main hall of the reception, but as soon as he reached the door, he felt the strong smell of dead people in the air.
He couldn't help but slow down...... The mayor of the town, Huang Shiyuan, is indeed also promoted to a grain eater.
If the strength of the other party can be judged by the intensity of this dead man's breath, then his strength is probably much higher than Li Peishan.
As for Lee Do-hyun's own words...... He couldn't figure it out either, because the smell of dead people on his body was very weak, but his strength should be stronger than Li Peishan.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a splendid robe sitting on the throne.
[Five turbidities have descended, and a grain eater has come to your home, he seems to be contaminated with an evil breath, and your survival point is +5 (white). 】
