Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 191 Can’t go back
No, to be precise, there is something on Li Jingqi that they, the Wuxiantang, must take back at all costs.

On that day when he and Zhao Qingming were killing beggars, the people from Wuxiantang had already paid their respects to Zhou, Yang, Sun, Li and other families in the local teahouse and handed over the door.

Several of their families have already accepted it, which means that the local bosses have accepted their gifts and will not cause them trouble in the future, which naturally includes their own master.

It’s just that Xiao Ran and other younger generations don’t know about this.

But no matter whether he knew it or not, Xiao Ran didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, especially beating up that Hu San, it was purely that guy deserved it.

What do you mean by fate? I don’t want to see the child suffer. This is pure bullshit.

The child just has jaundice and malnutrition. It's not cancer. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about yourself. The hospital can cure it with some medicine.

But the child's condition never improved because the fox was secretly doing bad things and the child's condition never got better.

Hu San probably doesn't know about this matter, and the fox won't tell Hu San. As for the reason, it's all because of the golden and silver boy.

"Gold and silver are stars in the sky, falling to the earth to repay gratitude."

This is an old saying in the Northeast.

They regard children who died of jaundice and children with albinism as golden and silver boys, stars that fell from the sky and came to the human world to repay their gratitude. After repaying their gratitude, they will return to the sky and turn into stars again.

If a spirit medium encounters this child, he will guard the child, and after the child dies, he will take the child away as a spirit boy. This is the so-called golden and silver boy. Once you have the golden and silver boy, not only will it greatly enhance your own Taoism, but it will also be of great help to Hu San when he grows up and opens his own temple.

It's just that such a child is often hard to come by. Hu Yu'er had accidentally received the soul of an albino child as her spiritual child a few years ago. Now she has met a golden boy, so naturally she doesn't want to let him go easily no matter what.

They even do bad things secretly to make the child's condition worse.

The purpose is to collect the soul of this child as the golden boy.

But this matter was noticed by the City God. Seeing that you beasts have entered Shanhaiguan and dared to cause chaos in the mainland, the City God will inevitably punish you.

There was nothing wrong so far, the mistake was that the City God treated him as a favor, but he didn't expect to meet a ruthless person like Xiao Ran, who even dared to chop you, the City God, if they had a disagreement.

Of course, it was what the City God deserved. In this day and age he couldn't figure out the facts, and with only a few incense sticks, he dared to act like a big boss.

"Master!!"

Xiao Ran walked to the door of the charity cemetery and shouted inside as usual, then casually placed the food on the overturned stone tablet.

I just waited for a while, but there was no movement inside.

His brows suddenly tightened, he turned his head to look at the closed door, and walked to the door: "Master!!"

The room was completely quiet, without even a sound of movement.

"Isn't it here?"

With doubts, Xiao Ran pushed open the door and saw a bed board used for sewing corpses in the room, with various knives hanging on all four sides.

There is a small bed covered with a mosquito net on the side.

Inside the thick mosquito net, you can vaguely see the shadow of a person lying down.

"Blood!"

Xiao Ran could vaguely smell a strong smell of blood, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He was about to go forward and open the mosquito net.

"Zhenye!"

A familiar voice startled Xiao Ran. He turned around and saw his master sitting up from a coffin behind him. He squinted his eyes and said, "Here, give me a hand."

"what……"

Xiao Ran glanced at the mosquito net and turned his head away. He walked quickly to the coffin and reached out to help the ancestor up.

When Xiao Ran touched his master's arms with his hands, he felt that they were cold and hard, like frozen hairtail fish. His heart sank. "Master, are you okay?"

As he said that, he wanted to pull up his sleeves to take a look.

But the old man broke free with a slight movement: "I just fell asleep, why did you come so early today?"

As he spoke, the old man jumped out of the coffin, as agile as a young man, which made Xiao Ran's eyes widen: "Master, you..."

"You didn't expect that, right? I'm in good health. Don't worry about me anymore."

"Uh……"

Xiao Ran was not in a position to comment on this, but as he looked at his master, he discovered that his master's complexion had become much rosier over the past day, and his entire mental state was also very different from before.

"Master, why are you sleeping in a coffin? Who is on the bed?"

"A homeless man, he was dying when he was brought here last night. I put him on the bed and I made do with the coffin."

"Oh!!"

Xiao Ran nodded. He supported his master and walked to the stone tablet. "You came so early today. Is everything fine at home?"

"It's okay, everything is fine. Oh, by the way, Master, a fox came last night with a piece of paper in its mouth. It seemed to be some kind of magic. I don't understand it either. Master, please take a look."

Xiao Ran said as he took out the prepared note.

What is recorded above is the practice method of [Shinsojin Wind].

Although this reason was lame, Xiao Ran had thought about it and felt that it was tenable.

After all, he knew that the Five Immortals Hall had come to Luo City. What the fox sent was sent by the Five Immortals Hall. As for why the Five Immortals Hall sent this to his master, Xiao Ran didn't think so far ahead. He would take things one step at a time and at least help his master save his life first.

When Master has calmed down and goes to the Five Immortals Hall to express his gratitude, that will be another matter.

"fox?"

Sure enough, when he heard the word "fox", the old man immediately thought of Wuxian Hall. He picked up the paper and looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that the master didn't say anything, Xiao Ran approached and asked, "Master, is this thing useful?"

"Hmm... it's useful. Keep it for yourself. It might be of great use to you."

Seeing the master pushing the paper to himself, Xiao Ran hurriedly asked, "What about you?"

Then he pushed the paper back to his master: "Master, whether it can be done or not, you should try it first. It is better than having no hope at all."

Seeing the anxious look on Xiao Ran's face, the old man's heart tightened. After a moment, he nodded and put the note away. "Don't come over these few days. I plan to try seclusion. As for food and drink, don't worry. I have everything prepared here."

"okay."

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.

"By the way, did you buy the glutinous rice I asked you to buy last time?"

"I bought it. It's at home. Do you need me to bring it over?"

In fact, Xiao Ran had forgotten about glutinous rice, but it was still time to buy it now.

"Then you don't need that. Here is the bag for you. Carry some sticky rice with you from now on, so that you won't be contaminated by the corpse qi here."

As the old man spoke, he handed a cloth bag from his waist to Xiao Ran, then waved his hand, indicating that he should go back early and not come over easily unless there was something important.

"Then I'll go back. I'll come every three days from now on."

"Ah."

After getting a nod from his master, Xiao Ran stood up and left.

As soon as Xiao Ran left, the old man closed the door, walked to the front of the stone tablet, looked at the bowl of cooked food on it, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, hesitated for a few seconds, stretched out a finger and inserted it into the bowl.

The half-cooked glutinous rice immediately made a sizzling sound.

In the blink of an eye, the bowl of glutinous rice turned black.

"Ugh!!!"

Seeing this, the old man sighed, poured out the rice, put away the dishes and chopsticks, walked into the house, took out the note that Xiao Ran had just left, read it carefully, and was silent for a long time.

"These bearded guys sent this thing over here. Are they trying to warn me of something?"

"Or did they figure it out?"

Thinking of this, a cold light appeared in the old man's eyes, a pair of sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, and the corpse gas on his body seemed to come out of his body uncontrollably, and the temperature of the whole room began to drop for a moment.

Fortunately, it was noon at this moment, when the Yang energy was at its strongest. The dark corpse qi dissipated and immediately disappeared in the sunlight. After a moment, the old man's eyes gradually became clear again.

Walk to the window and pull open the thick mosquito net.

I saw a dead body lying behind the mosquito net, the whole body was curled up and looked like it was dehydrated, with skin and flesh tightly attached to the bones.

There was a fresh tooth mark on the neck of the corpse, which looked like two large holes and was very conspicuous.

The old man ignored the body and just put the paper under his pillow.

"Zhenye, this magic is indeed useful, but it comes too late...

Master, I...

There’s no going back.”

　There will be another update in the evening, probably before 12 o'clock.
