Chapter 90: Searching for a Dead Body
Because of its remote location, coming from the inn, you need to go through a lot of winding narrow alleys, so Qian Haosi's golden carriage, which is so big that he can practice swords in it, was shelved in the inn and did not come.
When Lu Shi came, he had to lead the way, and the carriage couldn't sit so many people, so everyone could only walk back and forth.
"How far is it?" Ji Wushuang glanced at the few little guys with corpses on their heads in front of him, and asked Lu Shi lightly.
Ji Wushuang opened his mouth, and Ni Xiu's attention was instantly attracted to it. I saw that the five or six people Lu Shi brought with him were obviously young men in the prime of life, and two of them looked exceptionally strong, with tendons and flesh, looking like the family members of the nursing home, not ordinary servants.
The corpse was shriveled and shriveled, it was completely an old man's work, and it looked light, but it made those people suffer for a long time, and after walking not far, they had already turned upside down, changed hands several times, and almost got rid of their hands.
Ji Wushuang probably thought of his mother, and felt that the old woman's body would have to bump and touch after death, which was really desolate, so he was slightly dissatisfied and asked Lu Shi about the rest of the journey.
Lu Shi noticed Ji Wushuang's gaze, slightly embarrassed, and walked quickly to the front and scolded a few people: "Didn't you come out this morning and didn't give you enough to eat? Or are you usually good at eating and drinking, and you are spoiled?
After saying that, he was particularly angry, remembering that these wastes made him lose face in front of outsiders, and hated to go up and kick the unlucky guy at the end.
The unlucky man's knee bent under the force, and he was half a cut shorter than the others.
The corpse swept by the grass fluttered lightly, and instantly rolled low, and half of the old cold arm was on his hand......
"Ahh......h
Ni Xiu watched as a tall man in front of him shook his hand as if he had been struck by lightning, and instantly let out a sharp and high-pitched ...... Screaming.
It's like a woman.
The scream was really piercing, and the other four little guys were also in a nervous mood all the time, and when they heard this terrible scream, they thought that something terrible had happened, and they all took off their hands and avoided them for a while.
The old woman's body was left unattended, and she quickly fell to the ground......
Fortunately, Ji Wushuang's eyes were quick, and he pounced on it with one arrow step, which was able to catch the corpse, saving her from the pain of being beaten after death. Then he turned around and glared at the man fiercely.
Lu Shi was especially angry, although he also knew that he clearly blamed himself just now, if he hadn't been angry and kicked, there would have been no such situation, but if he lost face, he was not happy, he scolded when he opened his mouth, and beat while scolding.
In the end, it is the master. A group of old men are like grandsons, they don't hide, they don't dare to block, they stand still, and they are beaten obediently.
Seeing that several people were frightened, Ji Wushuang no longer had to worry about asking them to carry the corpses, so he simply hugged the mats sideways and asked them to lead the way in front. It's also a little more worry-free.
Ni Xiu's side, finally got rid of Li Xing'er, who was crying "buo" and "chirp" at every turn, and at this moment, he didn't want to listen to Lu Shi yelling at the side.
So, he hurriedly chased after him and interrupted him: "Alas, Master Lu, you haven't said how long we have to go?"
Lu Shi was sullen and talked to Ni Xiu.
It turned out that the Lu family was also a scholarly family, and in the early years, the ancestors had two tanhua, both of which were in the office, and they had a lot of status in the court, and they also saved a lot of family property.
When he returned to his hometown, he invited an immortal to see feng shui and built a south-facing mansion on a wide street in the city.
The place where the body was found was in a dilapidated alley on the northern outskirts of the city, so it had to be wasted some footsteps.
Ni Xiu didn't seem to understand the world, and said innocently: "Why did you go all the way? Our carriages are all parked at the inn, and the inn is not far from here, so you can go back to the inn first and get the carriage and go directly to your mansion?"
At that time, I came here to settle down because I took Li Xing'er to find the "Big Cow Village" in her mouth and explore the roots. In a hurry, I saw this inn, although it was not high-end, but the shopkeeper and his friends were particularly dedicated, and the store was cleaned spotlessly, and there was not a trace of ash in the corners.
Many simple tables and chairs also have a small porcelain vase on it.
Ni Xiu also has them in their room. Staying these days, whenever you go out, the shopkeeper will send the guy to sprinkle and sweep, and will also insert a branch of folded leaves in the bottle, with a camellia, in your spare time, it is quite elegant.
Therefore, the location of the shopkeeper with such a seven-trick exquisite heart will definitely not be bad - although the inn is located in the north of the city, the road leading to the city in front of the inn is wide and narrow, and it can be said that it extends in all directions. It is very convenient to get a carriage from there and rush to Lujiading.
Ni Xiu dared to assert that if it weren't for the shopkeeper's lack of funds, he would have been able to get rich. However, even if the start is not good, as long as it accumulates slowly, she feels that it will be a matter of time before the rich side of the shopkeeper is rich.
At this time, she held back the urge to speak sarcastically in her chest and looked at Lu Shi quietly.
Lu Shi looked constipated: "This ...... It's a little inconvenient. It's better to walk over there. ”
As he spoke, he also showed a very polite smile to Ni Xiu. Although he was respectful on his face, he scolded Ni Xiu from beginning to end in his heart. He had never seen anything so blind, and she thought he wanted to walk, and he didn't know how much effort it took to walk such a long way. But if they don't go over, will they have to sit in the same carriage with the dead?
I had long forgotten that the rotten straw mat was wrapped in his own mother, who gave birth to him and raised him......
The men were gone for about an hour. From morning to noon, I arrived at Lu's house.
When I came back, I learned that the old man of the Lu family had something to do.
The elderly housekeeper apologized to a few people: "The lord said, it is rude that he can't entertain the distinguished guests in person. But it's urgent, and I hope you Haihan. The feast is ready, so please come with me. ”
Ni Xiu and Qian Haosi didn't say anything, they both glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts and dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.
It is said that the deceased is the greatest, and the Lu family is already a big family in this area, so there is no need to look at whose face is acting, and what can not be refused?
"I take the liberty of asking, I don't know how expensive Lingtang is this year?" Ni Xiu didn't have to eat, except for drinking a glass of wine from time to time, he was talking to Lu Shi.
Lu Shi was asked again, and his face was already slightly impatient. He had never seen such a noise! A table of good wine and food couldn't stop her mouth!
But everyone knows that if you offend anyone, you can't offend these immortal cultivators, otherwise you will be unlucky, and even die unexpectedly, I am afraid that you don't know how you died.
I had to put down my chopsticks, took a few deep breaths to control my upward fire, and said with a smile: "My mother is eight in Chinese New Year's Eve this year. ”
"Eight out of thirty! Not yet forty?" Qian Hao was shocked.
Lu Shi was surprised: "Yes, yes...... Immortals, but what's wrong?"
"You...... Don't you see that?"
Lu Shi looked dazed: "What do you see?"
"You said that Ling Tang is eight in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, but the body he is looking for is clearly an old woman! This is already a big mistake, you didn't even see it! I really don't know what your two tricks are for?"
Unexpectedly, Qian Haosi was more direct than her.
Ni Xiu snorted, the wine in his mouth spurted out at once, and in the next second, he met Ji Wushuang's cold eyes......
When she sat down, Qian Haosi was originally going to sit between her and Ji Wushuang, and she kept saying that she wanted to cut off any thoughts of approaching Ji Wushuang. As a result, Ji Wushuang said lightly, "Go away", and asked him to sit aside obediently.
She was sitting on Ji Wushuang's right side at the moment, and Qian Haosi was sitting on Ji Wushuang's left side, when Qian Haosi was talking, she habitually looked at him, and across Ji Wushuang, this sip of wine directly sprayed Ji Wushuang's body.
Ni Xiu smiled, turned his head casually, and saw that Lu Shi had already blushed, he should have never experienced such anger, and was considering whether to have a seizure.
"Lu Gongzi should not be general with him, this is the eldest son of the Heyu Qian family, he is used to talking like this, and there is no malice. ”
Ji Wushuang didn't know where to take out a handkerchief and slowly wipe the wine stains on his body, and Ni Xiu directly picked out Qian Haosi's identity.
At this time, Lu Shi just wanted to say nothing but didn't dare to say anything, holding his breath, his face was blue and purple, which made Ni Xiu's heart feel dark for a while.
"It turned out to be Mr. Qian, but Mr. Qian's immortal cultivators should know that his mother was obviously sucked into a dried corpse by something, where can she still see her appearance before she was born?" Lu Shi reacted quickly, and without offending people, he spoke softly. In and out of his words, he despised Qian Haosi's lack of academic excellence.
Qian Haosi was not angry, and smiled generously: "Lu Gongzi doesn't know anything." Ling Tang did not become a dry corpse this time, but seemed to suddenly grow old and die. ”
"Sudden aging?
"Not bad. Ni Xiu continued, "I've been thinking about the possibility of becoming a dry corpse all the way, but unfortunately, after thinking all the way, judging from the current situation, Ling Tang is definitely not a dry corpse." ”
"First, the spirit of a person who has been sucked into a dried corpse will be somewhat damaged, and the seal hall will be black and red after death. ”
"Second, when God created man, although he did not give people preferential treatment, the human body itself is a natural barrier, and the soul is melted into it, and if there is no external injury, nothing can suck people into dry corpses. And your mother doesn't have a single wound on her body......"
This is a bit profound, Lu Shi heard it in a fog, his eyes widened, and he was a little incomprehensible: "Isn't this caused by being sucked dry of yang energy?"
"Draining the yang energy is another matter. Ni Xiu took another sip of wine, explained further for him, and said, "Let's put it this way." I'll give you an example. You must have read the book, and some curious books mention the art of collecting yang and replenishing yin from spirits. ”
Lu Shi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's really good, picking yang and supplementing yin, isn't it just to directly absorb people's yang energy?"
"First of all, yin and yang are different, and they are mutually repulsive. This is destined to mean that when the spirit absorbs the yang energy, it will not suck out the yang energy of the person at once.
Because Yang Qi is a double-edged sword for them, it can become both a perfect tonic and a mixed soup for life. They can only absorb it slowly, and only after spending some time fusing the absorbed yang energy with themselves can they continue to absorb new yang energy. In this way, it is impossible to completely suck a person dry without a year and a half. I'm afraid that the spirit with a higher cultivation will have to get at least a month ......."
"I see," Lu Shi pondered to himself, "No wonder those spirits in the book have to go home with a rich and noble son......"
As he spoke, he thought of something again, and he was so frightened that he jumped up directly from his seat: "It's difficult...... Could it be ...... My mother...... I've got spirits in my house, and I've been doing it to my mother for a long time."
Ni Xiu pursed his lips dissatisfied, what kind of bad habits the fuck has? Can't you just listen to her?
"You can rest assured of that. If there is really any spirit mixed in your home, it should be contaminated with demonic energy, and the three of us have not felt it. ”
Lu Shi had already scared himself a lot, even if he heard Ni Xiu say that he didn't feel the abnormality, he was still not at ease, and said tremblingly: "Immortal, immortal, can you be sure?"
"......," Qian Haosi said impatiently, "What is uncertain? If the three of us are not sure, I am afraid that there will be no one in the world who can be sure!"
Lu Shi looked at the angry Qian Haosi, and sat back on the seat, a little relieved. It's just that the son of the Qian family is only a teenager, not as old as him, and he doesn't know if it's reliable......
Thinking like this, he secretly looked at Ni Xiu and Ji Wushuang, the person who the son of the Qian family went out with him shouldn't be an idle person, right? After all, cultivation is a very dangerous thing, maybe one day he will give up his life, and he must bring a powerful person to protect him to feel at ease.
But the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt, they all looked fifteen or sixteen years old......
Although he knew that the higher the cultivation level, the slower the immortal would age, but he always felt that such a major matter of eliminating trouble, inviting the immortal was the same as asking the doctor, the older he was, the more reassuring it seemed to him.
Seeing through his thoughts, Ni Xiu held back a smile and said, "I'm forty-two this year." ”
"Huh?"
Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted again, Ni Xiu had already continued.
"What Hao Si said is good, but there is a more intuitive reason, if there are spirits, how can you let the men of your family not suck it, and suck the yang energy of women?
You must know that women themselves belong to yin, and their yang energy is weak compared to men...... It's like a big peach, a rotten persimmon, you don't eat the sweet and tender peach, and pick the rotten persimmon to pick it up?
"Of course ......not," Lu Shi Nene. But what kind of metaphor is this? A man is a big peach in the eyes of the spirit, and a woman is a rotten persimmon in the eyes of the spirit?
...... Whether it's a big peach or a rotten persimmon, he won't touch it again in the future.
