I Can't Be Sword God

Chapter 304

304 Wang longqi and his father (final chapter)

“Daoist priest Yu, please.”

Wang longqi looked at the old Taoist with tears in his eyes. we’re already at this stage, let’s not play the moral game, shall we? ”

“Hehe.” Yu Qi ‘an smiled. I’m sorry, it’s a professional habit.

Du Lanke, who was standing beside them, kept this scene in mind.

He thought to himself,’it seems that if I want to establish myself under deyun, I must increase my efforts and master the traditional art of moral support.’

Li Chu asked Wang longqi to sit down and asked, ” “What happened?”

“AI ...”

Wang longqi let out a long sigh.

“To get to the root of this matter, it’s still my fault. If I didn’t quarrel with my family and went to shenluo city, my father wouldn’t be unhappy. When he was unhappy, he ran to the southern Heaven region to collect medicine. Who knew that this trip would cause trouble.”

Then, he slowly began to narrate.

As mentioned before, the Wang clan’s main business was collecting sea cargo from the East Sea and transporting them inland. They did many businesses, and their main business was still medicine shops.

In addition to the East Sea, sometimes he would also go to the southern Heaven region to collect herbs. After all, the types of herbs growing along the coast and inland were completely different.

Wang longqi’s father had been travelling since he was young. Now that he was old, he didn’t go to work personally, but he couldn’t stay idle. From time to time, he would go out with the waiter.

A while ago, when Wang longqi was not at home, he went to the southern Heaven region to collect herbs.

The southern Heaven region could be roughly divided into two parts, the vast southern land on the East and the rugged mountains on the West. The southern border was just over Yin dang mountain in the Jiang-Nan region.

The medicine collection team consisted of three old shopkeepers who were familiar with each other. Each of them had one or two workers with them, and they also invited an experienced priest cen from the Hangzhou Prefecture to escort them.

This kind of contact might happen dozens of times a year. Everyone was very familiar with each other, so they treated it as a relaxing tour.

Because of the bountiful harvest for the past few days, everyone was in a good mood. They walked West for two more days and arrived at a slightly unfamiliar village.

In the village, they saw a strange scene.

In a graveyard outside the village, there was a new grave. In broad daylight, there were seven or eight wild dogs surrounding it, digging at the grave!

Although the crowd was just passing by, they did not stand by and watch. They went forward to coax the wild dogs away. The skinny wild dogs looked ferocious. If priest cen had not killed one of them with his flying sword, they would not have left!

Just as everyone was wondering, priest cen’s expression suddenly changed.

It turned out that he had seen a large patch of yellow-sun grass growing around the new grave.

The old shopkeepers recognized this herb as well. It often grew in places rich in spiritual Qi and was an extremely worthless companion herb. They did not know why priest cen was so shocked when he saw it.

Priest cen frowned and said, ”

people take medicine, and medicine eats people. Yang grass grows in Yin houses, and wild dogs dig new graves.”

Wang longqi’s father didn’t understand. He asked, ” you’re full of nonsense. Do you want to be the top scorer? ”

Priest cen was not in the mood to joke. He told everyone that there was a legend in the southern border that “medicine eats people.”

Since ancient times, it had always been the human who took the medicine. However, at some point in time, when some precious medicines grew their own spirituality, they would also want to eat people.

The people who had been eaten by these ” medicines ” would turn into something similar to ” medicine dregs ” after death. They would have a strange fragrance and were extremely attractive to wild dogs in the mountains. And where their bodies were buried, yellow sun grass would grow.

When these two characteristics appeared, it was very likely that the “drug eating man” case had happened.

They quickly went to find the village chief and gathered a group of old and young people to ask about the tomb.

After asking, he found out that the tomb owner was called hei Zhu, and was a strong man. When he died a few days ago, the villagers were also very surprised. Because he was found in a bathtub when he died. His body was soaked in water and was almost red, as if he had been boiled to death!

He even suspected that his new wife was the murderer.

That’s right, half a month ago, a poor man like him had married a beautiful little lady from somewhere. At that time, he was very mysterious. He took advantage of the darkness of the night to rent a small sedan chair and carried the bride back home. He did not take off the veil from the beginning to the end.

The reason why he knew that the bride was beautiful was that among the people he had asked to help carry the sedan chair, there was a second aunt who happened to catch a glimpse of the bride’s face when the wind blew. She only felt that her skin was as white as Jade and was instantly shocked by it. That was why the news spread in the village.

Everyone was still envious of hei Zhu’s luck with women. Who knew that he would die so miserably in just a few days, and the mysterious bride had disappeared.

When priest cen heard this, he immediately understood that the so-called wife of the black pillar must be the legendary “medicine beauty”! That was the human body formed by the spiritual herbs in the mountain.

After a few words, they confirmed that he was evil. A young man with a bun suddenly knelt down and shouted, ” Taoist priest, save me!

It turned out that this young man was the second aunt, and the bride who had gone missing was hidden in his house.

After the woman killed hei Zhu, she went to the second aunt’s house. She said that hei Zhu didn’t treat her well and often hit her when he was drunk, so she took advantage of the time when she was bathing the drunk hei Zhu to add firewood and cook him to death.

She had no other choice but to say that as long as the second aunt took her in, she was willing to treat him as her husband.

The second aunt was also a poor and single man, so she agreed with a clench of her teeth. After two good days, he found out that the woman was the incarnation of an evil spirit, and he didn’t dare to cover up for her anymore.

Hearing that, priest cen lifted up his second aunt’s sleeve and found a red mark on her wrist.

No one knew.

Priest cen explained. In the past, herb harvesters would tie a red rope around spirit herbs that were not yet mature. When the spirit herbs were ripe, they would come back to pick them.

Later on, whenever the medicine beauty wanted to harm someone, she would also plant a red line on that person’s body. This red line would gradually grow. When it completely wrapped around the wrist, it meant that the person had “matured” and could be plucked.

This line could be said to be a mark, but it could also be considered a curse.

The red line on the second aunt’s wrist was just a little bit away from closing, and it was clear that she did not have long to live.

Immediately.

Even without the villagers ‘pleading, priest cen had the heart to vanquish evil and defend the Dao. He held his sword and followed second aunt, while the villagers followed behind with sticks and pickaxes.

However, this group of aggressive people pounced on empty air.

The second aunt’s house was empty, and the woman was nowhere to be seen. The second aunt felt as if she had lost her parents. She would not be so sad even if she lost her real wife.

...

That night, priest cen stood guard outside the second aunt’s house with his sword in hand, waiting to see if the evil spirit would come to take his life.

It was a peaceful night.

However, when she knocked on the door again, she realized that the second aunt was gone.

The villagers went out to search for him and finally found his body on the barren mountain. He had died a miserable death, and his body was almost crushed by a heavy hammer. If not for his clothes, it would be hard to recognize him.

Taoist priest cen was also helpless. He could only tell the villagers that the evil was powerful and ask for help.

The group of herb collectors then returned home.

But who knew, before they returned to the Hangzhou Prefecture, they found Huahua.

A red line appeared on the wrists of the three shopkeepers, several waiters, and even priest cen!

The righteous priest cen was furious.

“This evil spirit is so vicious. We were just helping out when we saw injustice, and we haven’t even saved that person, but it’s already holding a grudge against us. Don’t panic, I’ll go back to the temple and ask my senior brother about how to subdue this evil.”

This impassioned speech greatly calmed the hearts of the shopkeepers.

...

The next day, priest cen died.

He died a tragic death in his own Taoist temple. His body was black and almost burnt to ashes.

And his senior brother was obviously helpless.

This time, the others panicked. They reported to Chaotian que and spent a lot of money to invite experts everywhere. However, in just a few days, not many people could be invited. When some xiuzhe heard of this matter, they would say that they could not do anything. Some were paid to do their work, staying by their employers ‘side.

However, the other two shopkeepers and their assistants still died tragically one after another.

They couldn’t defend it at all!

The growth of the red string on Wang longqi’s father’s hand was slow, but it had grown by nearly half in seven or eight days. If this continued, he would not be able to live for another seven days.

These two days, the residence was in a gloomy state. When Wang longqi heard that Li Chu was back, he grabbed onto a life-saving straw and quickly came to ask for help.

......

After listening to him, the backyard of the Taoist temple was silent for a moment.

Li Chu looked at Yu Qi ‘an and asked, ” “Master, do you know the root of this?”

“About this, Yingluo.”

The old Taoist stroked his beard.

“I know, but to solve it, it’s not difficult, but it’s not easy either. Little Wang, I’m asking you Yingluo.”

He looked up at Wang longqi and asked seriously, ” “Do you have a good relationship with your father?”

Wang longqi was speechless for a while, ” “No matter if the relationship is good or not, one must have a father, Yingluo.”

Yu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment and looked up again.”Do you think I’m okay?”

“I beg you, be a human! Daoist priest Yu!”

Wang longqi couldn’t help but roar,”if you really have a plan to save my father, I don’t mind acknowledging a thief as my father.” If you don’t have an idea, then don’t try to kill time with me, okay?”

“Hi,” he said. Yu Qi ‘an waved his hand. I’m just trying to ease the tense atmosphere. How can I not have an idea? ” You’re underestimating me. ”

“Foster father.” “Then please save my father,” Wang longqi said without hesitation.

“Hahaha.” “If you want to dispel the body-killing barrier, you still need to go to the southern border,” Yu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
