Chapter 173 Ghost Infant Fruit
Li Sian walked aside and sat down.
I haven’t had time to check what’s in the porridge.
But I heard a surprised shout from the side:
"Mr. Li? I didn't expect you to come to Zhengming Road to listen to the scriptures."
The person who spoke was none other than Aunt Xu who rented the house to Li Sian.
At this time, she was enthusiastically leading several newcomers who had just embraced the Zhengming Way to help.
Seeing Li Sian beside him, he was naturally quite happy and said:
"The Taoist Master is a good man with great merit and wisdom. Only by listening more to his advice can we get rid of this situation. The misery in the world.”
“Brother, you are lucky at first glance. At this age, you have the opportunity to receive enlightenment from the Taoist priest.”
Li Sian had no choice but to say hello to the other party out of courtesy.
Looking at the other party, he continued to explain the purpose of Zhengmingdao to several people.
What about right mindfulness and right heart.
It doesn’t matter what the rules and regulations are. As long as you can look up to heaven without being ashamed, look down without being ashamed of others, and be honest with your heart, you can achieve righteousness.
“Think about it, everyone, the world is so chaotic now. Good things happen every day, and evil things happen every day.”
"Instead of feeling guilty the day you close your eyes, it is better to live a happy life. When you do good things, you feel happy and live a meaningful life."
"Even if you have millions of gold There are countless fertile fields and vast buildings, all of which are external to the body. If you don’t bring them with you in life, you won’t take them with you in death. Why bother to torture yourself for these things all your life?”
Listening to Aunt Xu’s advice, everyone took it seriously, including some. Asked:
"By the way, what should we call that Taoist priest..."
Among the Zhengming Tao, there are only a dozen real members, and only those wearing Taoist robes Five or six.
As for the mysterious preacher whose true face has never been seen, people who understand the Tao often call him a Taoist master.
At this time, Li Sian had already roughly judged the ingredients of the bowl of porridge.
It is indeed just ordinary rice porridge. The talisman ashes inside should have been prayed for, which can eliminate relatively minor curses or pollution to a certain extent, and can also dispel some low-level evil objects.
After drinking all the porridge in the bowl, Li Sian kept staring at the bamboo curtain to see how long the people inside could hold out.
But until there were fewer and fewer people in the square, even the wise people were ready to pack up and leave.
There was still no movement inside.
Li Sian frowned and stepped forward again to enter the bamboo curtain.
Unexpectedly, the Zhengmingdao people would no longer stop him this time. When Li Sian entered, he saw that the bamboo curtain was empty, with only an ordinary futon and a small table.
“When did you leave?”
Li Sian was certain that since the end of the lecture, he had been paying attention to the movement in the bamboo curtain with at least two consciousnesses.
On the way back, Li Sian kept thinking about what just happened.
If a living person leaves from inside, it is impossible for him not to see it.
Even some evil objects or ghosts cannot hide from your eyes.
"The so-called Zhengming Way, I wonder if it has some connection with the Yinsi."
If Zhengmingdao has no connection with the Yinsi, how can it develop with such great fanfare in Dongjiang Mansion, which they have complete control of? believer.
Isn’t this the same as pulling the beard off a tiger’s head?
Just when he arrived at the door of his house.
Li Sian suddenly felt as if someone was watching him secretly?
…………
Chu Wu Jiu spent most of the day and finally targeted this newly moved family.
He quietly inquired about it in secret. According to the neighbors, the newly moved man's surname was Li, but he didn't know his specific name.
I don’t know anything about what I do for a living, what friends I have in the city, what my purpose is in coming to Dongjiang Mansion.
So after Li Sian walked into the house as if nothing happened, Chu Wu Jiu finally turned into a ghost body, sneaked into the courtyard quietly as a black shadow, and observed Li Sian's movements through the window.
Li Sian's appearance is very different from what he imagined.
Originally, Chu Wu Jiu thought that such a mysterious person would at least appear to be very dignified or have a very special appearance.
Who knew that Li Sian looked like a farmer who had been farming in the village all his life.
Short figure, rough skin, but his eyes are extremely bright, a bit scary.
At first glance, he looks a bit like his father who has passed away many years ago.
Chu Wu Jiu still remembered that his father could not pay the food levy for that year just because of natural disasters.
He was beaten despite being sick and died that night.
Before he died, he could not even get up from the bed or even moan.
I lay on the kang like a living dead and suffered for a long time before I finally breathed my last.
Until the last moment before his death, his father’s eyes were still bright and scary...
Shaking away the random thoughts in his mind, Chu Wu Jiu continued to watch Li Sian’s actions.
Li Sian took out a piece of fruit from the box at home, put it on the table, and then picked up a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.
Then put them all into a box.
Hidden into a secret corner under the bed again.
Immediately, Li Sian hurriedly left the room as if there was something urgent. When I left, I was very alert, checking again and again to see if anyone was peeking outside.
Chu Wujiu sneered.
He paid a huge price to transform into the evil ghost body he is today, which is intangible and without substance.
As long as you don't show your body intentionally, how can the naked eye detect your existence?
Chu Wu Jiu originally wanted to catch up with Li Sian to see where he was going.
But after thinking about it, Chu Wu Jiu decided to take out the box that Li Sian had hidden first.
Look at what he was writing in a hurry.
Then he would catch up with Li Sian with the box to avoid missing any important information.
Just as he said, Chu Wujiu completely ignored the locked door and easily passed through the wall and entered the house.
Take out the box and open it casually.
The fruit does look weird, like a baby, white and tender, but not scary.
On the contrary, it gives people a fresh and tender feeling. After sniffing it through the nose, there is an unexpected sweet and refreshing feeling.
Since turning into a ghost body, his requirements for food have been completely different.
His favorite food in the past was tasteless in his mouth.
Only some extremely special foods and human flesh and blood can attract his appetite.
Putting the fruit aside, Chu Wu Jiu picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
I found a secret written in extremely messy fonts on the piece of paper:
"Shu Yi Ji" Juan Yun: In the east, there is a stone with many trees on it, red trunks and green leaves.
There are always babies on the branches, six or seven inches long. They laugh when they see them, move their limbs, and hold the branches with their heads. If the messenger plucks a branch, the child will die.
This fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when it encounters fire, and enters when it encounters soil. Just like a child under three dynasties, with all four limbs and five senses.
If you hear it, you can live to 360 years old; if you eat one, you can transcend the mortal body and live forty-seven thousand years.
The characters at the back become more messy and difficult to read, as weird as ghostly symbols.
But for some reason, Chu Wu Jiu could easily read the contents on these papers.
It seemed that it was not himself who read these words, but these words took the initiative for Chu Wu Jiu to understand.
The deeper he read, the more he could sense the emotions of the person who wrote the letter.
Panic, doubt, disbelief, anxiety, panic, worries about gains and losses, panic...
Putting down the letter, the fruit that was originally fresh and tender in his eyes has completely changed. look.
As I read, the appearance of the fruit became more and more deformed. The head was bulging, but the body shrank into a ball, and the hands and feet were tightly wrapped around the body, looking extremely painful.
Until the end, Chu Wu Jiu couldn't tell that it was a fruit. He could only vaguely see a frightened face on the surface of the fruit.
“If you eat me, you will be reborn and gain endless lifespan. You will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and you will coexist with the sun and the moon...”
Chu Wujiu was startled and subconsciously wanted to kill him. Throw the fruit out.
But for some reason, his hands no longer obeyed his orders at this time, and he forced the fruit into his mouth.
The fruit seemed to see that it was going to be eaten, and the human face on the surface became more and more frightened and desperate.
But the laughter lingering in Chu Wu Jiu’s ears kept coming and going, never letting up.
When the fruit enters the mouth, there is a pungent smell of blood. The juice of the fruit is like red blood in the mouth. The core in the fruit is also crisp and easy to chew, like a bone...
After eating the whole fruit, Chu Wu Jiu suddenly realized something.
"No, I saw it wrong... That's not him, he's not him!"
The Li Sian he had seen before was just an appearance, just something that could be seen with the naked eye.
And the eyes can deceive oneself...
It wasn't until he ate the fruit that Chu Wujiu's mind realized what a terrifying existence he had just seen.
Chu Wu Jiu understood that he had to return to his residence quickly and inform the prefect.
That person is definitely not a 'human', he is too scary, you must not go against him, you must keep away from him.
No, the magistrate should run away quickly, escape from Dongjiang Mansion, and run as far away as possible.
Chu Wu Jiu rushed out of the house and headed towards the government office.
While on the road, Chu Wu Jiu could still see someone screaming on the road.
Although I don’t know why I am still seen by others even though I am maintaining a ghost body.
But the most urgent task now is to report back to the prefect quickly.
For some reason, he felt that his body was stronger and healthier than ever before.
The speed is much faster than before, and he is tireless, and the power in his body seems to be inexhaustible.
It didn't seem to take much time, and it seemed like several years had passed. He finally arrived at the side door of the government office, preparing to enter Zhao Wenze's residence to report the matter to him.
But when the two guards guarding the side door saw Chu Wujiu, their expressions changed drastically with horror, and they hurriedly shouted:
“What monster, get away quickly!”
The two men were holding sticks and wanted to hit Chu Wu Jiu.
But Chu Wujiu touched it at any time, and the two sticks broke immediately, and the two people flew out upside down, vomiting a lot of blood from his mouth.
Even his chest was sunken, and it looked like he would not be able to survive.
