Chapter 17: The Man Behind the Scenes
Jiang Lishen was mysterious, which made Su Xi's heart itch, but he couldn't ask no matter how he asked, so angry that he drank alone with a tiger face.
"I didn't expect to meet Jiang Daoyou here, but it was our luck, this glass of wine, toast you, thank you for saving your life. Lin Shu poured himself a glass of wine and dragged his glass with both hands.
"It's the same without me, don't put a high hat on me, and don't call me by my name, you're really unpleasant. Jiang Li didn't raise his head, and struggled with the bones in front of him.
"I didn't bring you a hat?" Lin Shu wondered.
“......”
After being full of wine and food, of course, only after Jiang Li was full, Lin Shu said: "After this trip, we will leave." ”
"So early?"
"Originally, we took over the task of the sect, but we came here just by the way, so it is inconvenient to delay, and I informed the sect of what happened here, and someone will come to deal with the aftermath. ”
"Then I wish Brother Lin a smooth and smooth journey. ”
After the two sides exchanged respects, they left in two directions, but Jiang Li and the two of them walked for a while and got off the aircraft, changed lanes again, and went back in the carriage.
Su Xi pulled the dress on her body and said, "Why do you want to change into women's clothes?"
"It's pretty. Jiang Li said it as a matter of course.
"......" Su Xi said with a slightly red face: "Then what's the matter with you?"
Jiang Li looked at the coarse linen clothes he had worn before, touched the beard on his chin, and said with great satisfaction: "Don't you know, I'm originally a big boss of a cottage?
"What do you mean by cool or not?" asked Su Xi.
"Isn't it just pretty?"
"I'm cool, you're not cool. Su Xi said as a matter of course.
Jiang Li didn't argue with her, and drove the carriageway: "Sit tight." ”
Until the afternoon, the two returned to Pei County.
Today's Pei County has experienced a turmoil, but it has made the people's hearts settle down, because there is no need to worry about it every day, and there are obviously more people who come out to do business.
Re-entered the city as civilians, completely unnoticed, and the two of them mingled in the crowd, just like ordinary people.
"I knew that I would come like this in the first place, which saved me a lot of trouble. Su Xi said with emotion.
"It's different, before this time is different, there is no threat, and there is no vigilance. Jiang Li picked up a hosta on the stall in front of him. He compared to Su Xi's head and said, "It's not bad, although there is no aura, the style is pretty good." ”
Jiang Li paid the money, handed the hosta to Su Xi and continued: "Mortals are rare for seventy years, just one hundred years, but they are proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and manufacturing skills, you say, is it magical?"
Jiang Li didn't notice Su Xi's slightly flustered face, and said to himself.
In his previous life, he didn't know what immortal cultivation was, but how much wisdom had been passed down from ancient times to the present. Without cultivation, people can also travel thousands of miles a day through wisdom, see the world without leaving home, go out of the earth, and explore the universe.
Therefore, he never felt that spiritual power was so omnipotent, and no matter how magical things were, they could be judged by reasonable calculations. Therefore, he often said that Yue Zichu was stupid, not that he was really stupid, but that his inherent thinking limited his imagination, and he felt that there was no spiritual power, no spiritual root, and no exercises, and there was no salvation.
"I don't know where you get so much emotion. Su Xi chuckled, then put the hosta on his head and asked, "Is it good-looking?"
"Good-looking, fair lady, gentleman. It's a beauty. Jiang Li shook his head and said, "However, you can only watch from a distance, and you can't play with it." ”
"What do you mean?" Su Xi raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, life is precious. Jiang Li said with a smile.
"Die. Su Xi gritted his teeth and stepped on it.
The two of them laughed and laughed, walked from the street to the corner, and then disappeared into the shadows in a flash.
It's getting late, and the streets are still full of people, and there is no loneliness before. The two crossed the downtown area and went straight to the abandoned county lord's mansion.
Because of Wang Jixian before, the entire county lord's mansion has become a ruin, and there is no figure to be seen around.
"What are we going to do?" Su Xi was very skeptical.
"Try your luck. Jiang Li said mysteriously, and then pulled Su Xi to jump onto the tree next to him.
Waiting was boring, Jiang Li lay on the tree with his hands behind his head, looking at the sky through the layers of branches and leaves. There were no clouds, and a few stars fell in the sky.
He had heard before that the universe was vast, and that there was more life than the earth. And the earth is only a tiny planet in the solar system, and the solar system is a tiny galaxy in the entire galaxy, and the milky way is as small as a grain of sand in the entire universe, so what about the universe? What is above the universe? Where is Jiang Li's current world in this vast universe? Is the star he sees now still the star he saw before? For the first time, Jiang Li was curious about the world, and at the same time, for the first time, he wanted to explore this world.
However, he was stunned when he looked at it, and quickly sat up.
Su Xi on the side was stunned by him, and said, "What's the matter?
"Do you know what that is?" Jiang Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the Heavenly Dao.
"What?" Su Xi was stunned, looked up curiously, and said, "That's ...... Ziwei: What's the matter? You still have research on astrology?"
Jiang Li pursed his lips and shook his head, but his heart was very uneasy.
Isn't it true that no matter where you are, you see the same stars? The Big Dipper, Ursa Minor. As for the others, he didn't recognize, but he wouldn't be mistaken for the obvious spoon shape.
Just when Jiang Li was still immersed in his thoughts, Su Xi carefully pushed him and said, "Look." ”
Following the direction pointed by Su Xi, a black shadow appeared in the field of vision.
The two of them carefully hid themselves, and saw that the black shadow thief looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, they came to the place where the courtyard was broken before, and then jumped into the dry well in the courtyard.
"Go, keep up. Jiang Li pulled Su Xi to the well and looked down.
"What's going on, who is this?" asked Su Xi.
"The man behind it. Jiang Li said solemnly.
"And the mastermind behind it? Isn't that Wang Jixian?"
"That thing can't do without here. And ......" said Jianjian: "Let's go down first." ”
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he jumped down first.
"You wait," Su Xi jumped down after speaking.
It was different from what he imagined, the underground space was very large, the artificially dug underground cave, the walls were lit with oil lamps, Jiang Li was about to take a good look at the surrounding environment, ahhhh
"I said, miss, you are also a monk, don't you know how to buffer with aura?" Jiang Li lay on the ground and complained to Su Xi who was sitting on him speechlessly.
"What so much nonsense, hurry up. Su Xi hurriedly stood up, tilted his head, and embarrassment flashed on his face.
After the two of them sorted themselves out, Jiang Li looked around.
A strong smell of blood filled the entire space, and the cave in front of them led to nowhere, and where they were, there were a few white bones lying scattered, looking like they were some years old.
The two looked at each other and walked down the cave. The cave was empty, but it was a little twisting and turning, and under the reward, I found that I was going underground.
"Boom. It's really useless, it's in vain that I put so much effort into it. A voice came down the hollow cavern. The two of them slowed down cautiously.
"It's a pity that such good material was let go, and it's really nosy. The voice continued, "They are all gone and sent to death, you say, little darlings, how about giving them a ride?"
As soon as the words fell, an attack suddenly came from around the corner, Jiang Li hurriedly dodged and retreated, sending out the attack that had been prepared for a long time in his hand.
After his vision cleared, Jiang Li saw what it was.
Mummy.
"Damn. Jiang Li scolded and rubbed it down. Then the two saw a man standing not far away.
The man tilted his head and stood there, surrounded by all sorts of corpses.
"That's the monk of the Linglong Pavilion. Su Xi said.
Jiang Li followed her words and looked at the corpses standing at the back that were different from the others, their complexion was black, and the corpses were not as shriveled as those in front. As for the others, they are basically the people of this Pei County, the guards of the county lord's mansion.
"I'll just say, how did those corpses disappear in a blink of an eye, it turns out that you still have a hobby of collecting corpses. Jiang Li said as he looked around.
"Do you still dare to send it to the door? The cultivation is good, it is a good material, it is better to become my refining corpse, I can also be merciful and leave you conscious." The man smiled sadly.
"So, Wang Jixian is voluntary?" Jiang said.
"He, I thought it was useful, but he's still a waste, and I've put so much effort into it. "That's human.
"This seems to be that Fu Bo, the steward of the county lord's mansion. Moreover, these are the corpses of the Corpse Refining Sect, and they are the people of the Demon Gate. Su Xi whispered: "It seems that the Demon Gate has infiltrated the secular world. ”
She had heard them speak in the lobby before.
"I used to wonder how a down-and-out scholar got to the point where he made himself a ghost. Jiang Li nodded and said: "No matter how weird the bloodthirsty vine is, he is just a plant, how do they fuse?" I will say how can the person named Yue'er be said to be a demon, after all, although the world is ignorant, but the people who grew up here since childhood are called demons and no one doubts it, I'm afraid you did it, your demon cultivation methods are really chic." ”
"You said he, it's also his luck, he ran to my realm, didn't get killed by the bloodthirsty vine, or let him retain a trace of sanity, it's amazing, I just did a small favor." I thought it could be my help, but this useless thing wasted so many good things on me. Fauber gritted his teeth.
"You did those monks. Jiang Li looked at the last few refining corpses.
"Look, what good material. Fauber said proudly.
"But you didn't expect it to attract so much attention, you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold back, so you pushed Wang Jixian out. Jiang Lidao.
"How did you find out?" asked Fauber.
"You're in too much of a hurry. Originally, it was just two people from the Taiyi Sect, although they couldn't get killed, but with the strength of the bloodthirsty vine, it was no problem to trap them, just grind them to death slowly. But you didn't expect that we were here too, and if you were afraid, you would do it first. Jiang Li said: "It's too smooth, everything is too smooth, as soon as we came, he hurriedly exposed, he only dared to do some sneaky things before, so upright and bright, when I was stupid?"
"I think you were the one who attacked us that day, and let him out. The bloodthirsty vine is not so easy to control, he can't control it, and then lure us over. It's not like something that steals people. ”
"You steal children and use them to raise bloodthirsty vines, because adults, you can't bear it, after all, the materials are again, you can also make a corpse, look, you won't let go of this kind of dried corpse. ”
"What, you think you two can handle me?" said Fauber, squinting.
"Almost, now that you don't have a bloodthirsty vine, how can you trap us?" Jiang Li said.
In fact, he is not very willing to meddle in things, and with his character, he can hide and resolutely not move forward. But that day, Su Xi fell in front of him, splashing the blood in front of him, even if she was standing here intact now, it still made him palpitate.
Jiang Li has never been afraid of things, and this thing not only offends him, but it is not a good thing, and it is not bad to eliminate harm for the people.
"Truly, then you can try. ”
After Fauber finished speaking, the dried corpses gathered around rushed over.
"You have all the things that Lao Tzu hates, it's disgusting. Jiang Xuan moved with the gun, and each shot went straight to the head of the dry corpse.
One shot at a time.
With Su Xi behind him, Jiang Li didn't have to worry about it at all, the two cooperated tacitly, with one shot and one sword, the two quickly cleaned up the dried corpses around them.
"You think you're proud to be able to solve these scraps? Let you see my masterpiece. Fu Bo said compassionately.
The iron corpse that had been standing behind before, obviously more powerful than before, rushed out. Originally, these were all cultivated monks, but after being refined, their cultivation became more sophisticated, and their skin was the same as that of iron, so they were not afraid of pain.
Although the number is not large, it still makes the two of them a little stretched. But it's not powerless, although the iron corpse is strong, but the cultivation is there, although it is troublesome to solve, it will be solved quickly.
But when the two turned around and were about to kill Fubo, they found that they had long since disappeared.
"This strength is not as powerful as Wang Jixian, but running away is first-class. Jiang Li laughed.
"Chasing, do you still have time to talk about the wind and cold?" Su Xi didn't have a good breath.
"You can't run far, you don't even have a guy to eat, what's the use of a toothless tiger. ”
Su Xi was very ironclad and couldn't make steel, so he chased down the cave first. Jiang Li shook his head and followed closely.
However, when the two chased all the way from the other side, as the space became larger and larger, what appeared in front of them was no longer the underground cave before.
"This is?" Jiang Li was shocked to appear in the large area of buildings in his sight.
"The dungeon. Su Xi's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Jiang Li.
"Mausoleum!"
The two said in unison.
