Chapter 205 It’s broken, I’ve become a devil
As he was speaking, the old doctor stomped his feet, which actually dispersed the corpse qi under his feet. Then he did not use any special techniques, but just pinched the master's wrist with his fingers.

A ray of golden light penetrated into the flesh from the fingertips and went inside along the pulse.

The master seemed to realize that something was wrong, and he tried to shake the old man off with a powerful shake of his body, but when he did, he found that he could not exert any strength at all.

"At your age, why do you still like to play tricks on toes?"

The master looked down and noticed that his heel had been lifted up by the opponent's foot at some point.

The corpse's qi was connected to the ground, so it was naturally extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and spears. But now its feet were touching the ground, and it was difficult to stand on its own. It was obvious that it was being strangled by someone.

He was unable to move for a moment and could only watch as the golden light penetrated into his body.

Xiao Ran no longer felt the restrained feeling he had just now, but seeing that the situation had become clear, he simply jumped down from the wall and looked at the two old men in front of him with a complicated expression.

As soon as the golden light entered his stomach, the master's body trembled a few times, and his dark eyes gradually turned back to black and white. He stared at the old man in front of him with wide eyes: "Li Qijing!!"

As soon as these three words came out of his mouth, the master's body suddenly stiffened, and then he fell straight back.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran was standing nearby. Seeing the situation, he acted quickly and hugged his master in his arms.

He touched it with his hand and was surprised to find that his master was still alive.

"Find a coffin for him to lie in, sprinkle some sticky rice on it, and change it every three days. This will help keep him alive for a few more days."

"Oh, okay!!"

Xiao Ran placed his master into the coffin as instructed, then took out all the glutinous rice he had purchased earlier and sprinkled it all into the coffin. A thick layer of glutinous rice was sprinkled on the coffin, and soon more than half of it began to turn black.

This big bag of glutinous rice cost me ten yuan. I am afraid that this big bag will not last more than two days. The cost of this glutinous rice alone is probably not a small amount.

Then Xiao Ran turned around and looked at the old man. He heard clearly what his master said just now. He had a look of gratitude on his face, but his heart was mixed.

He had thought of many ways of meeting Li Qijing, but he never expected it to be in this way.

What he didn't expect was that the old doctor who taught him boxing was actually the wanted Li Jingqi.

But he quickly calmed down his thoughts. After all, Li Jingqi was not someone that anyone could kill at this moment. At least the river of blood in the mural had not started yet.

"Thank you, Senior. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid today I would be..."

"Elm head!"

Li Jingqi shook his head: "I taught you boxing and left you the tiger support, but you didn't use it at all. If you knew how to use boxing, you would be able to keep your life safe even if I didn't attack you today."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this.

Then he asked, "Then my master..."

"He's dead. The corpse qi has penetrated his bones. He wants to turn himself into a corpse. The method I taught you won't last long. Since ancient times, people have been sewing corpses. The corpse qi is heavy. Your master's master, who was also your master's master, was afraid that something would happen to him, so he burned himself to death at the age of fifty. Didn't your master tell you about this?"

Li Qijing not only knew a lot about their family affairs, he even knew everything about his master's master.

Xiao Ran shook his head and muttered to himself, "How would I know about this matter if it hasn't been passed down yet?"

Seeing this, Li shook his head in surprise: "Your master is still hoping for luck, thinking that he can get through this level by force, but he doesn't know that this level is not something that a human can force through. If he wanted to pass this level, he should have prepared 20 years ago, not waited until now."

Xiao Ran looked up and asked in surprise, "You mean, I can pass this level?"

"It's not difficult for those who pass it, but it's difficult for those who don't. In fact, in the end, it's just a trip to the underworld. Your family is a shady family. If you think of more ways, you will pass this level."

Li Qijing pinched his beard and pointed out the path of this level to Xiao Ran, who thought it sounded familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the bald old man has said something similar.

It seems like it’s time to find my life lock.

Just thinking about the weirdness in the underworld, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little scared. This level is easy to say, but the last time I went there, it was because of the protection of Master Guan and the paper figurines of the Zhou family that I was able to pass it safely. And I just passed the first level and came back.

It can be seen that this underworld is not a place where anyone can enter or return as they wish.

But he was still curious and asked, "What will happen if I pass this level?"

Li Jingqi frowned: "It's hard to say..."

"What do you mean?"

"Some people were sealed as underworld officials, some extended their lifespans, some got good luck, and some were unlucky and ended up living a life worse than death after passing this level. Everyone's results are different. Well, to put it bluntly, it all depends on how your relationships are."

"Ah!!"

Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Suddenly he felt like he was in Journey to the West. It seemed that to the end of spiritual practice, one still had to rely on connections?
"Okay, for the rest, once your master wakes up, you can go ask him yourself. I have an invitation here, please help me deliver it."

Li Jingqi took out an invitation from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ran with a smile.

Xiao Ran took it, opened it and took a look. His expression changed instantly. He looked up at Li Weiqi and said, "Grandpa, are you not going to give me a way out?"

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The so-called free is just something that has a price secretly marked on it.

Li Qijing said it was an invitation, but it would be better to call it a declaration of war. If he sent this thing out, he would probably be the first one to suffer.

"It seems that you are not stupid." Li Jingqi stared at Xiao Ran with a smile.

"What if I don't help you?"

"If you don't want to help me, then don't help me. I'm so old, what can I do to you?" Li Jingqi was not annoyed at all. He just continued slowly: "From now on, everyone in the martial arts world will know that I, Li Jingqi, have accepted a good disciple with extremely great talent."

Xiao Ran's eyes almost popped out of his head. Oh my goodness, no wonder he was so enthusiastic in teaching me boxing. It turned out that he was waiting for me here? ?

"Old man, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Take your time to think about it. Anyway, if you don't help me deliver this letter when the time comes, then you should be prepared to flee to the ends of the earth."

Li Jingqi stood up immediately and said, "You still need to take care of your master's affairs. When the old man wakes up later, don't tell him about the post. He can't help you with this matter."

Li Jingqi walked out as he spoke. Before he reached the door, he bent down and glanced back at Xiao Ran: "Kid, you are a good person, but this method... Hehe, it reminds me of some old friends!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without explaining.

Even if Xiao Ran was a fool, he should have understood that Li Jingqi's last words were clearly referring to him.

"Oh no! No wonder they are so mean to me. Do they think I am a devil?"

Xiao Ran immediately understood what was going on. This old man was very cunning. When he was teaching him boxing, he was thinking of getting him to do things for him. This old man must have known about his master's affairs a long time ago.

Why not take action early or late, hiding under the wall, is it not just to see how capable you are?

When he saw that the method he used seemed familiar, he was afraid that all the scruples in his heart had been exhausted, and he was just going to do whatever he wanted to himself.

After all, Senbei's swordsmanship and Senbei's corpse were there, and even his own corpse-controlling skills had the shadow of the Ichiku School.

These were the people who were chasing Li Weiqi back then. It would be strange if Li Weiqi couldn't recognize them.

But it's too late to explain now.

Xiao Ran put away the big knife stuck in the ground with a helpless look on his face: "Who did I offend?"

Then he walked to the master's coffin and looked at the master lying inside and said: "You can hide. In the end, you still end up hurting your own monkeys."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, he saw the old man in the coffin open his eyes and stare at him...
