Chapter 177 We Are Craftsmen!
"I didn't expect that there would still be omissions after the initial cleaning."
Muttering to himself, the shadow fell silent, and the slowly moving shadow body fluctuated regularly, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, a cold chuckle sounded.
"Hehe, forget it, those old ghosts must have noticed it, they didn't move, and there's no need for me to spend this effort. It's just the Book of the Netherworld, not the Ghost Scripture. Judging from the breath coming from that little kid, it should be in the human territory. It won't be too late to send someone to the ghost territory in the future."
The dark giant eye finally glanced at the sky, slowly closed, and disappeared. The shadow stopped trembling and slowly fell silent. The trembling bones on the ground were no longer oppressed by the invisible pressure, and they all quieted down and scattered motionlessly in the same place. The earth returned to darkness and silence, as if nothing had happened.
————————————————————————————————
Zi Yuan, who had no idea that she had been targeted, continued to work with Li Chuyi in front of the last stone gate.
If she knew that she was being thought of by the supreme being of the underworld, I wonder if Zi Yuan would regret her previous recklessness. Anyway, Li Chuyi would definitely go crazy if he knew about it. He would probably run directly to Dayan, risking being discovered and caught by the Dayan Dynasty, and desperately trying to find the Taoist priest to save his life.
The little fat man who knew nothing about it was happily studying the last stone door.
He couldn't help but be happy. After experiencing the madness of the previous stone door, although the formation of the last stone door was still repeated, there was no killing formation. Like the two stone doors on the other side, there was only one open formation.
After checking again and again to confirm that he had not missed anything, Li Chuyi carefully pressed his hand on the eye of the formation, and his magic power was lightly spit out. The light flashed, the friction sounded, and the stone door slowly opened a gap.
"Open!"
Exhaling deeply, the little fat man with a happy face waved to Zi Yuan, pushed the stone door open and walked in.
The moment he stepped into the stone room, the surrounding eternal lights lit up together, and the soft light filled the room, which was extremely bright.
Looking at the scene in the stone room, Li Chuyi took a breath of cold air, drew his sword and took a few steps back. Zi Yuan, who was following behind, also had a solemn face, with her pretty face and cold hands raised, ready to attack at any time.
The furnishings in the stone room were very simple. In the empty room, there was only a futon placed in it, and nothing else.
What made Li Chuyi and Zi Yuan's faces change drastically was the futon, or more precisely, the person sitting cross-legged on the futon.
The man was a man, handsome and quite young. He wore a simple white robe, but he exuded a sense of transcendence everywhere, which made people unable to ignore him.
The man sat cross-legged, with his eyes closed, his face showed no sadness or joy, as if he was in meditation. Even though Li Chuyi made a loud noise when he pushed open the stone door, the man did not react.
Looking at the skin that he could describe as delicate, Li Chuyi frowned after being surprised, and the yin-yang eyes were shining brightly, looking back and forth at the man's body from top to bottom.
After a long time, he exhaled gently, and Li Chuyi's expression eased.
"It's okay, he's dead."
Ziyuan was stunned, frowned and observed for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Are you sure?"
Li Chuyi nodded.
"But there is no dead air, and the life is strong..." Ziyuan was still worried. She was very sensitive to life, and she felt the strong life on the man, and there was no smell of a dead body at all.
"It's true that the life is strong, but there is no vitality, no mana fluctuations, and the dantian is deliberately dim. I don't know how long he has been dead."
Li Chuyi had seen through it with his Taoist eyes. Seeing that Ziyuan was still hesitant, he pointed to his eyes: "The life covered the death intention. It's normal that you can't see it, but my eyes won't lie to me. He is indeed a dead man."
Looking at the unpredictable eyes, Ziyuan felt a sense of being seen through. Knowing that Li Chuyi's eyes were extraordinary, she nodded and stopped being suspicious.
Slowly walking in front of the man, Li Chuyi slowly squatted down and looked at his remains carefully.
The man's body was clean, not to mention the storage bag, even the pendant was not there, which disappointed Li Chuyi who was looking for treasure. But when he saw the man's hands on his legs, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the empty hands, a jade slip was hidden.
He was itching to take the object immediately, but first put his hands together and bowed respectfully.
"Senior, I accidentally entered your cave today, and came to you by chance. I am sorry for offending you. Please don't be offended. In this life, thousands of treasures are external things. You can't bring them with you when you are born, and you can't take them with you when you die. I took them in a proper way and it was reasonable. Don't worry, I will cherish these treasures of yours, and I will make them regain their prestige in the future, and I will not disgrace them."
After speaking, in the surprised eyes of Zi Yuan, Li Chuyi reached out and took out two white candles and placed them in front of the man, and took out the incense burner, glutinous rice and other things, and even a few apples and oranges, and put them one by one, just like an altar without a table.
When he finally took out a peach wood sword, held a few yellow talismans and stood up, except that he was not wearing a Taoist robe, Li Chuyi looked like a Taoist priest who performed rituals to exorcise evil spirits.
Seeing Zi Yuan's strange look, Li Chuyi grinned.
"Don't look at me like that, this is my old profession. I used to make money by following Taoist priests. This uncle has been dead for a long time. I have to pray for his soul to be reborn. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy if I take his things."
Zi Yuan's eyes became even weirder. She looked at the things on the ground, and then looked at the peach wood sword in his hand, which was just a piece of ordinary peach wood. She was speechless.
"Fatty, your peach wood sword has been broken for a long time. I remember that I used it to explore the way when I was buried in the place where the king died."
"Oh, this is what I made later." The peach wood sword shook lightly and made a sword flower. Li Chuyi looked proud. "How is it? Good craftsmanship, right? This is a thing for making a living. Who knows when it can be used? If it is broken, it must be replaced in time. Look, isn't it used now?"
Zi Yuan was speechless.
This little fat man is a cultivator in the late stage of Jindan, not far from the refining spirit stage. He actually thought that he could make money by performing rituals for mortals, and now he is performing rituals in front of her, a female ghost who is many times more powerful than that evil ghost. Zi Yuan didn't know what expression to make.
"Hurry up." Zi Yuan rolled her eyes at him fiercely and retreated to one side of the room.
Li Chuyi, who didn't feel anything wrong at all, responded sweetly, cleared his throat, and straightened his face.
"The Supreme Command, transcend your lonely soul. All ghosts and spirits, four lives are blessed. Those with heads will be transcended, and those without heads will live. Kill with spears and knives, jump into the water and hang on the rope. Die in the open or in the dark, die unjustly..."
Mumbling to himself, the peach wood sword in his hand danced gently with the scriptures, and from time to time he grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and sprinkled it around the man.
Looking at the weird little fat man, Ziyuan couldn't help rolling her eyes again. Just when she wanted to turn her head away and not look at him, she suddenly felt the ghost body move slightly, touched by an invisible force.
Ziyuan was startled and turned to look at Li Chuyi who was performing the ritual, full of surprise.
"It actually worked, even my ghost body can be touched a little bit!"
Although it was only touched lightly, not even as good as a mosquito bite, with Ziyuan's current ghost cultivation, Li Chuyi's current cultivation can touch her ghost body, which is enough to make him proud.
With the defense, Ziyuan's soul condensed, and the purple mist around her gently fluctuated, and the invisible force was blocked outside, and it was difficult to move her at all.
Li Chuyi, who was completely unaware, performed the ritual with a focused face. Waving the peach wood sword in his hand, he couldn't help but think of the days when he followed the Taoist priest to wander the world.
Although he had been "bullied" by the Taoist priest, he earned more than he spent, and he had to try his best to hide some silver as private money all the time, but now thinking about those days, he felt so safe, as if as long as the Taoist priest was there, there was nothing to be afraid of even if the sky fell.
He sighed secretly in his heart, swept away his troubled thoughts, and kept reciting the scriptures for salvation. He retracted the peach wood sword in his hand and pointed it at the man's eyebrows.
"The command is waiting for everyone, hurry up and be reborn. The command is waiting for everyone, hurry up and be reborn!"
After the last sentence of the scripture was read, a layer of phantom suddenly appeared on the man's face, which was neither sad nor happy. A sad face could be vaguely seen in the distorted appearance. Unwillingness, regret, resentment, evil thoughts, all kinds of negative emotions intertwined together, making the whole stone room seem to be cold, and gusts of cold wind swept through the closed room.
"Fuck you Taoist priest, you really have resentment?! The Taoist priest is right, you can't trust the face of the dead, as long as you are dead, how can you not have resentment!"
Li Chuyi was shocked. He didn't expect that he really saved the wronged soul. But he was not afraid at all. Not to mention that this resentment was so light that it couldn't hurt him at all, even if the resentment was so strong that it turned into a fierce ghost, he was not afraid. With Ziyuan, the ancestor of fierce ghosts, no matter how deep the resentment of big ghosts and small ghosts was, as long as they didn't cultivate into ghost bodies and step into the ghost path, they were all food in front of her.
Turning his head to look at Ziyuan with strange eyes, Li Chuyi smiled.
"Zi Yuan, I won't give it to you. This senior has done us a favor. We took his treasure and his wronged soul will be liberated."
"Do you think everyone is like you and eats everything!" Zi Yuan said unhappily.
She was very interested in this very pure resentment, but she could distinguish right from wrong and knew how to choose. She had taken a lot of things from others before. Even if Li Chuyi didn't say anything, she would not do such a thing of repaying kindness with resentment.
With a smile, Li Chuyi said no more. Turning his head to look at the resentful air in front of him, he pinched the yellow talisman with a hand gesture and gently wiped it on the peach wood sword. A strange wave suddenly surged from the yellow talisman, which made Zi Yuan feel as if she had let go of her obsession and ascended to heaven.
Reaching out and sticking the yellow talisman to the resentment, Li Chuyi's face became serious.
"Go back, no need to cling to anything. The world has been changing for hundreds of years. Pure heart and pure thoughts, transcend the sky. Save!"
The talisman was firmly attached, and the resentment surged. The ghost face inside was distorted and horrible, but gradually calmed down. Until the end, the ghost face was peaceful, as if it had let go of all its obsessions, and there was only freedom and peace.
The ghost face's eyes were no longer crazy, and it smiled gently at Li Chuyi, and then dispersed with a "pop" sound, and disappeared to an unknown place.
Wipe the sweat from his forehead, Li Chuyi smiled proudly at Ziyuan.
"See, we are craftsmen!"
