Chapter 37: Yun Divine Sculpture, Soul Boy as Guide
Li Che hummed a tune and was in a very happy mood. He went to the Braised Pork Shop in the west of the city and specially cut two kilograms of pig head meat. He planned to spend the evening with Lao Xu and Lao Chen. Have a good drink.
I have just obtained the third Dao Fruit, and my capital for settling down in this world has been increased, so my mood is naturally very beautiful.
Snow falls on the long street.
Because Xixi's birthday falls in the cold winter, so every time Xixi's birthday is approaching, there will be heavy snow.
The cold was biting, but now that Li Che had hardened his bones and had strong energy and blood, he was not afraid of the cold.
Suddenly, Li Che's scalp felt slightly numb, and in his chest, the Dao Fruit [Pure Heart] that he had just obtained was beating loudly.
Li Che paused and frowned.
It was a... feeling of being spied on.
The face under the bamboo hat suddenly raised, and when he looked up, he saw an old man holding a child with a Nezha braid in the wind and snow in the distance, staring at him blankly.
Li Che suddenly felt a little confused. There were people coming and going on the street. Why was this old man staring at him alone? Could it be that he was staring at the pig head meat in his hand?
Li Che also looked back and saw the old man holding the braided child, and shifted his gaze.
Li Che, who felt weird, suddenly became wary.
However, Li Che just kept his guard up, and instead of passing by, the old man didn't make any move until he was far away.
Li Che finally relaxed and felt that he was too cautious and almost recorded the old man in his notebook.
…
…
"Master? What's wrong?" Lu Chi noticed something was wrong with his master and couldn't help but ask.
The old man closed his eyes, dispersed the [Ning Xing Technique], shook his head, and felt very regretful and sad.
"What a pity... What a pity..."
"Flawless, pure as water, like white paper..."
"There is such pure white newborn divinity between heaven and earth..."
"Such divinity is extremely malleable. Unfortunately... the one who possesses such divinity is actually a young man, and he is just a martial artist. After all, he is too old."
"A soul boy in his twenties? That's weird."
"The cultivation of divinity by soul boys and soul infants is different from the cultivation of divinity by ordinary warriors. They are born with divinity, so they can set foot on [nurturing their nature] from the beginning and cultivate their own divinity. When they reach adulthood, they can generally achieve 'nurturing their nature'." With a level like a lamp, it is possible to reach the divine base before the age of thirty, and it is possible to condense the divine form before the age of sixty..."
The old man shook his head. He saw the pure white divinity in Li Che using his fortune-telling technique. He was really...heart-beating.
Unfortunately, divinity is not found in a young child, but in a rough man.
"I'm a little older, and my martial arts cultivation is only now fully developed. It's far from a blood exchange. Before the age of thirty... it's a bit difficult to create a divine base."
"Such divinity wasted."
…
…
Back at Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop, Li Che was still thinking about the old man in his mind.
It was very strange, and it vaguely gave him a strong sense of crisis. Dao Guo's warning was definitely not unreasonable.
Fortunately... He, Li Che, has always valued harmony with others throughout his life, and nothing messy happened.
"Flying Thunder City is becoming more and more chaotic. Various forces and powerful men of all kinds...are emerging one after another."
Li Che shook his head.
Back in the yard, Xixi is cultivating her divinity under the guidance of Xu You.
"Xi Xi is a spiritual child, full of divinity. Learning to nurture her early and laying a good foundation will be good for her future. For divinity monks, age is crucial."
Xu You was wearing white clothes and carrying a sword at his waist. When he saw Li Che returning, he said with a smile.
"By the way, Ah Che, the shop has set up a guard team, which is composed of wood carving masters. You also have to participate in the patrol. I have arranged a shift for each wood carving master and separated you from Lao Chen's class, so that We can ensure Xixi’s safety.”
If Lao Chen and Li Che both leave at the same time, then Xixi's safety will not be guaranteed. Xu You made the arrangement with this in mind.
At night.
Xu You and Li Che walked side by side on the snow-covered lanes, patrolling the Xu Ji compound, protecting and ensuring the safety of the families of the many wood carving masters living in the compound.
Li Che was carrying a long spear on his back. The martial arts he practiced on the surface was the "Xu Ji Eighth Bone-Breaking Spear". Now he had properly demonstrated his advanced cultivation. With his perfect tendon opening and Dacheng's marksmanship, he In Xu Ji, he was given the title of "genius".
After two years of martial arts training, from skin resurfacing to tendon opening, it is naturally very good.
"Two days ago, the Yang family compound in the inner city where the Yang family's woodcarving shop was located in the outer city was breached by the murderers of the Lingying Cult..."
Xu You put his palm on the hilt of his sword, looked at the dark sky, and said in a deep voice.
Li Che's heart trembled, he really didn't know this news.
"The Lingying Cult thugs are...so rampant?" Li Che said solemnly.
"There are many powerful people in the Lingying Sect. After being expelled from the inner city, they stationed themselves in the outer city. Now they are eyeing the soul boys of various families in the outer city... Several woodcarving masters have died in the Yang Family Courtyard. A spiritual boy was robbed and taken away. "
Xu You clenched his fingers tightly, and his veins jumped.
"Because... there is news that a Shenzong monk is going down the mountain to Feilei City."
"The Lingying Sect must take action before the Shenzong monks set foot in Feilei City, otherwise...the truly good seedlings will definitely be taken away by the Shenzong monks."
"So, these days, the Lingying Sect...has gone completely crazy."
"Xu Ji from the inner city...won't you send strong men to the outer city to take charge?" Li Che frowned and couldn't help but ask.
When Xu You heard this, he fell silent.
"Inner City Xu Ji..."
"It's not a big problem, we can stop it on our own..." Xu You forced a smile.
But Li Che saw a bit of sadness, anger and helplessness on his face. …
…
Feilei inner city, Jinhuang Pavilion.
The breeze passed through the hall and the curtains undulated.
A figure bowed its body and walked respectfully along the corridor. After a while, it arrived at a suspended pavilion in Jinhuang Pavilion.
In the center of the pavilion, a hot stove is boiling water.
Si Mubai was sitting on a chair, and beside him was a beautiful woman with light makeup and a very beautiful appearance. She was making tea elegantly and showing off her tea art.
"Sir, Zhao Chuanxiong is here."
A deep voice came from outside the door.
Later, Zhao Chuanxiong stepped into the pavilion wearing casual clothes and carrying a knife at his waist.
"Master, I don't know what you call me for?" Zhao Chuanxiong said with a flattering smile on his face, slightly humble.
Although he is an official of the imperial court, he is just a headhunter from the outer city. Naturally, he does not have much confidence in dealing with his boss's direct son.
"I heard... that you fought against the Bull Demon and survived?"
Si Mubai drank the tea brewed by the beautiful tea artist, without even looking at Zhao Chuanxiong below, and said calmly.
Zhao Chuanxiong was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that Si Mubai came to him to talk about such a topic.
His expression soon changed slightly.
Because, he originally found the Bull Demon as the deputy incense master of the Lingying Sect, and joined forces with the Bagua Stick Warrior to fight the Bull Demon...
Si Mubai...knows his identity?
Zhao Chuanxiong was shocked and his face trembled.
"Don't worry, your identity is no longer a secret. It's not just you... I know the identities of many people in your Lingying Cult."
Simu Bai finished drinking the tea and played with the jade tea cup, half smiling.
"I have cooperated with your Dharma Master. I have shown my sincerity, and your Dharma Master will naturally show sincerity. The Dharma Master promised to carve the second-level [Yun Divine Sculpture] for me, but I need a soul boy to act as a guide..."
When Zhao Chuanxiong heard this, his face showed embarrassment: "Master, does the company want me to find another soul boy from the outer city and send it to him?"
"But Mr. Si, in the past two years in the outer city... all the spiritual infants and soul children have been basically empty. The remaining children have extremely poor divinity and are ordinary... useless."
"A few days ago, even the soul boy in the Yang family compound was taken away..."
"So if you want to find another soul boy, it will take a while, or even wait for a new batch of babies to be born."
Zhao Chuanxiong let out a breath.
Si Mubai: "In Xu Ji's wood carving shop...isn't there a top-grade soul boy?"
When Zhao Chuanxiong heard this, he immediately thought of Li Che and how a believer had died in the wood carving shop because of the high-grade soul boy who made the Master lower the statue of a spirit infant with three heads and six arms and an angry look.
"You mean... the daughter of Xu Ji's wood carver Li Che?"
Zhao Chuanxiong said tentatively.
Si Mubai played with the tea cup, his expression indifferent and cold: "Are there any other top-grade soul boys?"
Zhao Chuanxiong's face twitched: "To be honest with you, Sir... I suspect that the murderer Niu Mo may be related to Xu Ji."
"I……"
Si Mubai waved his hand: "Needless to say, I know what you are afraid of..."
"You have been living in seclusion this year and never travel alone. Is this all to avoid the bull demon?"
"You used Sun Changbiao's widow as bait to lure the Bull Demon to kill you, which was considered a fight with the Bull Demon. Later, when Bagua Gun died, you were frightened..."
Zhao Chuanxiong was not embarrassed at all. Why was he embarrassed in order to survive?
Look at that gossip stick, does he still have the ability to be embarrassed now?
When your life is gone, there is nothing.
"Based on his several attacks, this bull demon is suspected of targeting the Lingying Sect. In addition, he also has some relationship with Xu Ji."
"This bull demon is probably from Xu Ji."
Si Mubai leaned on the yellow pear wood Taishi chair and tapped his slender fingers on the table.
"I'm also very curious...Who is this bull demon in Xu Ji?"
"With the ability to freely enter and exit the inner and outer cities, and with perfect bone-tempering cultivation...who could it be? It can't be Xu Hexi, nor Xu Beihu, and the third child of the Xu family is even less likely..."
"No matter who it is, just him."
Si Mubai looked at Zhao Chuanxiong with eyes that seemed to be crying or smiling.
"You do it for me, and I will get rid of the bull demon for you."
"Since the Bull Demon wants to kill you so much... just let him kill you."
Zhao Chuanxiong's face suddenly darkened, and he felt... quite excited!
If he could really get rid of the Bull Demon, he would indeed be able to live without having to worry.
The Bull Demon must die, otherwise he would really have trouble sleeping and eating. The death of the Bagua Stick is vivid in his mind, like a nightmare!
Zhao Chuanxiong’s eyes flashed...
But I still feel a little scared...
After all, what Si Mubai said was to get rid of the bull demon...
It’s so damn hard to use him for fishing!
No, it’s cattle fishing!
He has been living in obscurity for so long, and he is afraid when the time comes...
The cow was not caught, so the bait...was eaten first!
