Chapter 61 Dao Book
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense. How could it be such a coincidence? So you originally planned to find Zhao Kui and...rob him?"
"That's not what I do."
"So what you want is the golden entanglement? You don't want it because it's in my possession?"
Zeng Jianqiu stared at him with his eyebrows furrowed. After a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, it's Guang Chanzi's Taoist book! Little brother, I scared you enough?"
He laughed a few times and shook his head, "But forget it. I don't want to force you, and I can't do it now. If I ask you for Guang Chanzi, you will definitely ask me to teach you the flying sword technique. I said you have bad intentions as a joke, but you have too many thoughts in your mind, I can't see through them, so I dare not teach you, at least not now."
Li Wuxiang was about to speak, but Zeng Jianqiu waved his hand and said, "But you are kind to me, so before I leave, I will tell you a few more things."
"In fact, you are not an evil spirit now, you can be considered a ghost fairy, but not as good as that. You are now wearing a skin, you feel that you can come and go freely, not afraid of pain, as if you have more advantages than ordinary practitioners, this is the advantage of unorthodox methods. Looking at the shortcomings, it is indeed tempting. But there are two things, ghost fairies can't go up, if you are in the realm of Qi Refining now, you can only be the peak of Qi Refining for the rest of your life, I guess you won't be willing to accept it."
"Another point, your skin is actually very fragile. If someone knew your weakness, they would just scrape off your skin and let Jin Chanzi dry it in the hot sun for a few hours, and you would be finished. This is called unstable soul, you know, this is the most taboo thing when practicing. You told me that the Zhao Kui you killed in the stove seemed to be flesh and blood, regardless of whether it was real flesh and blood, then I guess Ran Shan has some way to refine you into that kind, you can think of a way yourself."
"Then there is Guang Chanzi. Not everyone knows about this thing. I also heard about it from You Jiuyuan. Others know about it like me... There are also a few swordsmen. We are all looking for this thing. If you were an ordinary person, it would be fine if you met them. At most, they would pester you and want to exchange with you. But you are in this state now. Not all swordsmen are as easy to talk to as me. Be careful that others will see through you and treat you as an evil spirit and get rid of you."
"Also, this thing should have been around for a long time. Since no one practices it, it means there's something weird about it. You'd better stop practicing it and find a proper way to do it. Let's go!"
……
Usually, when it gets dark, Jinshui Town becomes very quiet. But today it is very lively - the direction of Chen's yard is brightly lit. That's because the town owner slaughtered chickens and sheep to hold a banquet to celebrate the survival of the whole town and to reward the two immortal masters who killed the evil spirits.
But until dark, the two were still not found, so people thought that they must be like the legendary masters, who had done their work and left long ago, without coveting people's gratitude and rewards.
So Xue Baoping became the guest of honor at the banquet. Chen Xin and Liu Jiao came to ask her first, but she refused. After a while, Chen Xiu came to ask her again, but she didn't want to go. The Chen family sent two soldiers to guard her door and keep away those who came to see her, thank her, and ask her to cure their illnesses or prolong their lives.
After a while, when there were no more noises outside, Xue Baoping could slowly relax and clean up the mess in the yard. Both stoves were blown open, the small pot was smashed, but the big pot was fine. But the tables, chairs, benches, etc. were all broken into broken wooden boards. She put these things back in a corner of the yard, washed the rag and wiped the bloodstains left by Zeng Jianqiu on the floor of the main house, and then slowly walked to the door of the woodshed.
She pushed open the door and saw a straw bunk next to the firewood pile.
The house was short and narrow, and the white plaster that had once been painted on the rammed earth walls had long since fallen off. Even with the windows and door open, only the outlines of the things in the house could be vaguely seen.
She walked to the straw bed, closed her eyes and lay on it for a while, thinking to herself, this kind of house is not suitable for him, and Jinshui is not suitable for him either. I don’t know where else can be suitable for him. In fact, I knew he would leave on the first day. Then she carefully rolled up all the straw and carried it back to the main house, thinking that if the weather tomorrow is as good as today, she will spread a piece of cloth in the yard to dry it in the sun, and maybe it can be preserved for several years.
After looking around the house again, she realized that apart from this piece of straw, there was nothing else belonging to Li Wuxiang. She remembered what he said about Zhao Qi before - "There are not many personal items in his house, which shows that he does not plan to stay in Jinshui for a long time."
She sighed, picked up a stewed chicken leg from the various meals sent by the Chen family, peeled two eggs and put them in a bowl, then sat at the door of the kitchen with the bowl in her hand. She felt that in the future she could not go hungry or full as she did before, but should eat well, memorize the fifty-three words he taught her, and wait for him to remember who he was.
Then she thought that she should not open a shop, because the food she cooked was not as delicious as his. Maybe she could use the two bricks to be a peddler, buy some things from Qingjiang City, and then transport them back to Jinshui, as long as she hid the things in the bricks.
She lowered her head and took a bite of the chicken leg. Suddenly, she felt a heat in her eyes and nose. She quickly raised her head, turned her face away, and looked into the darkness outside the door.
Li Wuxiang walked out of the darkness.
He looked at her bowl and said, "Ah, you ate first? Okay, you finish eating first, and then help me carry the people. I can't do it."
Xue Baoping held the bowl in a daze, not daring to blink, but he blinked once anyway - he was still there.
He walked over to me, sat down next to me on the threshold, and looked at a ray of light in the darkness in the distance: "It's really lively over there, didn't they invite you to go?"
She exhaled slowly, relaxed her shoulders, and said after a long while, "I didn't go even though I was invited. Who should we carry?"
"Zeng Jianqiu. Hey, what's with that expression on your face? Haha, no, he wanted to leave, but he was just trying to be brave. He just said 'I'm leaving' to me and then he fell to the ground. I want to get him back, but my skin is not good enough. I can only drag him slowly to Chen Sanyao's house. You help me carry him back later."
"Okay." Xue Baoping handed him an egg, "Here you go. I'll kill a chicken for you later. His family sent a nest of chickens..."
Li Wuxiang took a bite of the egg and sipped it slowly: "I won't eat it raw. Look, I'm still breathing, don't I? Zeng Jianqiu is right, I have to act more like a human being, otherwise I'll get into trouble later."
