Chapter 59: The Past (13)
Everyone kept watch at the door of Li's house all night, and at dawn the original housekeeper and maidservant carefully turned back to check, and as time passed, more and more people gathered at the door. Xuan Zhen took advantage of the situation and stood up: "Folks, the zombies refined by the master of the Li family himself last night killed his family, and the family and maidservants who escaped last night can testify for us."
In addition, in order to prevent any accidents, the corpses of their families have to be cremated, and as for the rest, you can solve it yourself, but everyone has a scale in their hearts, and what should be done. ”
The masses did not question it in private, but told them what bad things their family had done, and it was lucky to die, and a family member led by him shouted loudly: "Folks, the cancer in Qingshui Town has finally been eradicated, and the foreign debts you owe this year will disappear from this moment on, and the Li family was originally in charge of the account room, and after the Li family is cremated, I will sort out their family's assets and divide the accounts according to the capitation of each family at that time, so as to achieve the greatest fairness." ”
The people at the bottom of the stairs applauded and expressed their support. Only the other servants and maidservants showed disdain, and then a gleam of joy appeared on their faces.
"You're pretty smart, this guy. Zhang San glanced at him and did not stop him, but stared at him with interest.
"By the way, be careful these days, you don't know where the zombies are now if they escape. ”
In a dark alley extremely far away, a stiff voice stared at the Li family surrounded by people, the eyes that were full of whites suddenly appeared pupils, and a trace of black blood and tears slid down, and he was covered with net-like burns, he tightly held the twisting yin gossip mirror in his hand, and covered the wound on his chest with the other hand. After a few seconds, the pupils vanished, leaving only cloudy whites of the eyes, and then disappearing into the darkness.
"Was it just a delusion? Li Si glanced at an inconspicuous alley in the distance suspiciously, muttering to himself.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and they all returned to Xuanjia Temple without finding any trace of zombies.
.....
"It seems that the Li family did not do what I told them and failed. The old man in sackcloth opened his eyes in a cave and said to the figure behind him.
"Ahem, it's just entertainment, so you don't need to worry too much about it. We'll have to take advantage of the old guys in the organization to do the conversion ritual before they react, and they should be suspicious if they haven't been back for so long. ”
"There's only one last time left, and it won't help if you go back now, according to the agreement, after helping you convert this time, you should resurrect me next time. ”
"cough cough cough, don't worry, I won't forget, there is still an ancestor's corpse in Yunnan, according to the time calculation, it should be about the same, and I will accompany you to replace his place after this time."
It's a pity that you didn't get the dragon in the coffin, if you have it, you can easily suck the soul out of the corpse. ”
"I don't know what's in the coffin, and you told you that you only know the name, not what it looks like. ”
"Shhhh Hiss..."
"He's hungry again, and I'm going to have to help him find food. ”
The masked man snorted coldly and closed his eyes again, and a coughing sound was faintly heard in the darkness.
.....
"Master, can't that compass locate the escaped zombie?"
"All things are mutually reinforcing, even magic weapons are no exception, the compass can indeed locate many charms and spirits that exude aura, but being able to emit means that they can converge, so this is why many refined and powerful animals cannot be perceived by people, and some magic weapons can converge their own uncontrollable aura, and the Yin Twisting Bagua Mirror is one of them.
Now we can only locate it when the zombies attack the villagers of Qingshui Town again, because it can be calculated by the weak cause and effect between the victim and the zombie. ”
"But weren't all of their homes killed by zombies?
"Theoretically, yes, but once a person dies, the cause and effect of the yang world will dissipate rapidly, and the principle of calculating the whereabouts is to connect the cause and effect of the zombie with the cause and effect of the victim by relying on the victim's offspring and the victim's cause and effect. The Li family is dead, and there are still heirs left. ”
"But don't people disappear once they die, and why do zombies still have cause and effect?"
Xuan Zhen next to him aimed at the back of Li Si's head: "Where did you get so much, zombies are also considered a brand new life, of course, there is cause and effect, your master's cultivation is not at home, and it is normal that you can't calculate it." ”
"You fart, forcibly estimating people who are not related to yourself will greatly deplete my life, there are not a few years to live, and I still want to use this body to avenge my master. ”
"Master, you...."The two of them looked back at Xuan Yi with some undoubtedness.
"Ahem, your master is joking with me. No, don't you think he's okay, he's just trying to be lazy. Isn't it, junior brother?"
"Hey, look at what your uncle said, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths. The years are unforgiving, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I think the two of us were insulting each other back then...."
The two ignorant teenagers couldn't help but smile as they looked at the stern master and fantasized about what Xuan Yi looked like when he was young.
Zhang San, who was walking behind, asked Shan Chanyu in a low voice: "Is Xuan Yi really dying?"
"This month, every day you can see him using the Zhiming Armor to deduce something, to tell you the truth, I told you at the beginning that once a month is a safe threshold, including the previous week is also a safe threshold, once this number is exceeded, you have to take your life to fill in.
It's not that everything is free, and you have to pay a price for peeking on the way of heaven, so there are very few real fortune tellers, and even fewer are proficient, and each time you divide the divination, you will pay a minute of life, and many will die immediately. In the Heavenly Dao, I want to know what is marked with a clear price, and in order to prevent too much life from passing, there are all kinds of auxiliary props, whether it is tortoise shell or copper coins, they are trying their best to reduce the loss of their own life.
In other words, it is that people enter the future and constantly beat the picture to accelerate the division of their own cells, and you also know how long people can live under normal circumstances depends on how many times their cells can divide. ”
"And how many days does he have to live?"
Shan Chanyu narrowed his eyes: "No matter how you can live, you can live for ten days and eight days, and the day after the extreme cloud day will consume the only remaining life." ”
When everyone returned to Xuanjia Temple, when Xuan Zhen sent two apprentices to practice, Xuan Zhen looked at Xuan Zhen with a solemn face: "How many days can you live?"
"Seven days or so, how can you survive the extremely cloudy day, so you have to solve the problem that day. ”
"Hey, originally I was preparing to pass on this Heavenly Master position to you after this matter is over, how can this be. ”
"What does it matter if you live or not? There are successors in the Heavenly Master's lineage, so I don't care no matter what. In exchange for decades of life, they exchanged their life span for a very cloudy day, and they did not lose the location of the conversion ceremony.
Just on the highest peak of the back mountain, there are two eagles on it, the middle of the peak has long been hollowed out, and the entrance to and from is behind the waterfall at the foot of the mountain. ”
Li Qi, who was hiding behind and eavesdropping, had wet eyes, and then ran back to the backyard to practice basic skills with Li Si as if nothing had happened.
Li Si, who is usually lazy, couldn't help but tie his horse more steadily when he saw the serious Li Qi, and his fist came out faster.
In the next few days, the laughter and laughter of the past were gone, and a heavy atmosphere circulated between the two teenagers, and finally Li Si couldn't help it:
"Senior brother, what the hell is going on? You have been very wrong these days. ”
"What can happen to me? Li Qi suddenly said a little low: "Senior brother, tomorrow morning, when the master and uncle go down the mountain to purchase supplies, accompany me to drink two glasses, the last time I slipped out and smelled the smell of monkey wine, I still can't forget it." ”
Li Si was stunned: "No problem, as long as you open your mouth, even if you are beaten by the master, I will admit it." Looking at Li Si with an innocent face, Li Qi became more and more sure of his thoughts.
In the middle of the night, Xuan Xuanzhen and Hui Shen gathered together to carefully take stock of the utensils on their bodies, and Zhang San and others watched. Li Qi looked at Li Si who was covered in moonlight in the dark, helped him gently cover the quilt, and knelt down in front of the hall alone.
"My plan is like this, today just happened to be the time to go down the mountain to buy supplies, leave the two little ones in the Xuanjia Temple, and we will enter the destination in advance while buying supplies, and catch them off guard. ”
"If they arrived early, didn't we just bump into them?"
"No, they will enter at ten o'clock in the morning with sacrifices, as long as they destroy it during their conversion ceremony, the dust will settle, even if the masked man is strong, he will not be able to return to heaven. ”
In the blink of an eye, it came to Yinshi, Li Si, and Li Qi got up one after another and began to practice, and the sudden Xuan Yi startled Li Si.
"I'm going to take a look at you at the school before breakfast today. Since it was all started by Li Si before, let's start with Li Qi today. ”
Li Qi stopped: "Yes, master." ”
"Then use the tortoise shell to solve the fifty-second game of Dunjia. ”
Li Qi picked up the copper coins in his pocket and put them into the tortoise shell, and when the tortoise shell fell to the ground and spit out three copper coins, Li Qi said the answer lightly.
Xuan Yi first frowned, and then he was happy: "It's passed, then let's change Li Si." Xuan Yi threw him a cyan rune paper: "Use the cinnabar next to it to draw the green dragon mantra." ”
Li Si first closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them suddenly, picked up the pen next to him and drew the Blue Dragon Mantra in one go.
"Yes, there has been a lot of improvement. But you still have to be impatient, stop being impatient, and practice diligently. Xuan Yi smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, master. ”
When Zhang San and the others left Xuanjia Temple, Li Si stole monkey wine from under Xuanyi's bed, and the two began to drink it. Li Qi kept toasting, Li Si kept drinking, and just when Li Si practiced and waved his hand to say that he couldn't do it, Li Qi took out a rope out of nowhere and tied Li Si up without saying a word.
"Li Qi, what are you doing here?"
"Senior brother, when we come back, I will make amends to you, and I have left beforehand. Li Qi brought his equipment and steel sword from the foldback room and swept past Li Si.
"Hey, what are you doing? ”
"Go and help the master. ”
Li Qi closed the door of Xuanjia Temple, and Li Si shouted from behind:
"Take me with you!"
"Senior brother, you have to stay here. ”
