Li Chen looked back and found that the man who came was actually the strange old man who had saved him in the woods outside Ning'an Cemetery.
Then the strange old man asked, "What are you doing? Stop it quickly."
Because of his ferocious appearance and abnormal appearance, Cao Jingjing and Wang Qianqian were frightened when they saw him, and hurriedly hid behind Li Chen.
Cao Jingjing whispered: "Is this person a human or a ghost? Why does he look like this?"
Li Chen quickly stopped her, and then said to the strange old man: "Uncle, we found a zombie drought demon here, so we want to dig it out and burn it, otherwise it will harm the surrounding people."
The strange old man took two steps forward and asked with a fierce look: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you let it out?"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, but my friend's child was infected by the corpse spirit of the Drought Demon and should be imprisoned inside now."
The strange old man said again: "How do you know that the child must be inside?"
After he asked this question, Li Chen didn't know how to answer. He hesitated and said: "Actually, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that the child must be with the zombie."
The strange old man Hehe Yile said: "It seems that my senior brother is right, you still have some qualifications for cultivating Taoism."
Li Chen was a little confused by what he said, and asked: "Uncle, are you..."
The strange old man said: "I wonder if you have heard of the name Zhao Laowai?"
"Zhao Laowai? Why is this name so familiar?" Li Chen thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, thinking: "Is he the Zhao Laowai that Lao Zhangtou said?"
The strange old man said: "You guessed it right, I am Zhao Laowai."
After hearing that the strange old man admitted that he was Zhao Laowai, Li Chen thought of Lao Zhangtou who had died for them before, and tears suddenly flowed down his face.
He cried and said to Zhao Laowai: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhang...he is dead."
Zhao Laowai sighed and said: "I have known about this for a long time. My senior brother has entrusted me with a dream. Like the last time outside Ning'an Cemetery, he asked me to save you."
Hearing what he said, Li Chen felt even more uncomfortable and said, "If it weren't for us being playful, Uncle Zhang wouldn't have died. It was us who harmed Uncle Zhang."
Zhao Laowai said: "It's not all your fault. This is also the fate of his old Zhangtou."
After a moment, he seemed to have remembered something and said, "I'm here today just to stop you from digging this grave."
Li Chen asked: "Uncle Zhao, why can't this grave be dug?"
Zhao Laowai said: "The zombies in this grave have become a habit. You can't dig them up casually, otherwise it will cause trouble."
Li Chen said with some embarrassment: "What should we do with that child? We can't let him stay in there all the time, right?"
Mr. Zhao gave Wang Qianqian a sideways look and said, "That child is hopeless, huh! I have never seen such parents throw their children into such a place."
Wang Qianqian burst into tears, knelt on the ground and cried: "Baby, mommy is sorry for you, mommy shouldn't have left you here, mommy shouldn't have left you here! Wuwuwu..."
Li Chen asked: "In that case, you don't care about the child?"
Zhao Laowai thought for a while and said: "We can't ignore it, because this child was infected with corpse qi before he was alive. If the corpse qi is not removed from his body, his soul will also be tainted by corpse qi, and it will be bad then."
Reincarnated."
Wang Qianqian said at this time: "As long as I can save my child, I am happy to spend any amount of money."
Zhao Laowai looked at her disdainfully and said, "Don't talk about money in front of me, okay? Sometimes, money may not work for everyone."
Li Chen knew that a Taoist master like him could not use money to communicate with him, so he turned around and said to Cao Jingjing: "Sister Cao, please take her back first, and leave this place to me. If there are any results, I will
We will notify you as soon as possible.”
Cao Jingjing nodded to him understandingly, then pulled up Wang Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, let's go first. Just leave this place to Li Chen."
Wang Qianqian's emotions were a little out of control. She said loudly: "No, I haven't seen my child yet. I want to see my child!"
Cao Jingjing persuaded, "You can't help here, right? It's better to go back first. I believe Li Chen will definitely help you." After talking for a long time, Wang Qianqian was persuaded to leave.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Li Chen said to Zhao Laowai: "Uncle Zhao, let me invite you to dinner. Let's find a place to sit down and chat. You tell me what you want to eat."
Zhao Laowai said: "What kind of food should I eat? I never eat."
Hearing what he said, Li Chen felt a little strange and thought: "He doesn't want to eat? Who doesn't want to eat? Could it be that... he is not a human being?"
Zhao Laowai seemed to know what Li Chen was thinking, and said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, I mean I don't make a living by eating."
Li Chen asked: "Then what do you eat?"
Zhao Laowai chuckled and said loudly: "Drink, old man, I only drink and don't eat."
Li Chen smiled with relief and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a drink today. I'll take care of it." Li Chen can now be considered a "household worth ten thousand yuan". He has money, so he also has a strong backbone. If
He wouldn't have dared to say this before.
Zhao Laowai looked at Li Chen and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my damn senior brother, Lao Zhangtou, would really do a good thing by giving me your precious apprentice. It seems that I won't have to worry about having no wine in the future.
Already."
Li Chen felt ashamed and said: "How could I be lucky enough to become Uncle Zhang's apprentice?"
Zhao Laowai asked with some disbelief: "Lao Zhangtou has not taken you as his disciple? Then where did you learn the Dantian Breathing Technique?"
Li Chen said: "Uncle Zhang left me a copy of his practice experience before he died, so I learned it."
Zhao Laowai nodded understandingly and said: "That can only be regarded as a half-apprentice. Forget it, let's not study this anymore. Let's go and have a drink."
Li Chen originally wanted to take him to a better hotel, but Zhao Laowai knew better. He said: "Forget it, I'd better not go to a good hotel. I'm putting others off with my appearance."
It's not good to scare people. Now I'm not saying that it's not your fault that you don't look good, but it's not right to scare people."
Seeing that he was very persistent, Li Chen stopped forcing him. Finally, Zhao Laowai took him to a small restaurant in a relatively remote area, close to the countryside.
Zhao Laowai said with satisfaction: "Just stay here. I usually only come here to have a good meal during the holidays. I usually can't bear to come here."
At this time, the boss came over and asked: "Lao Wai is here, why are you so free today?"
Zhao Laowai boasted: "Isn't it? There is a junior who respects me and insists on inviting me to dinner."
The boss smiled and said: "Haha, what do you want to eat?"
Zhao Laowai said: "It's still the same two things I asked for before. The main thing is to give me two bottles of your precious Yuquan Daqu."
After saying that, he asked a little worriedly: "You won't tell me that the wine is gone, right? We are old acquaintances, why don't you come here with me."
The boss said: "Other people definitely don't have it, but you must have it when you come." After that, he brought a pot of tea, and then went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes.
Zhao Laowai said: "This kid was obsessed with a 'hedgehog' two years ago. I cured him. At first, he said he had enough good wine for me to drink, but later he actually cheated on me and took care of me. Need money."
Li Chen said with a smile: "He also has to live."
Zhao Laowai also smiled and said: "Yes, so I give him money whenever I come back. It must be difficult after all."
Li Chen asked: "By the way, Uncle Zhao, where do you work?"
Zhao Laowai said with some dissatisfaction: "Can you please stop calling me old man? I am not yet sixty this year. Calling me old like this makes me old."
In fact, to be honest, Li Chen really couldn't tell how old Zhao Laowai was, because he was so ugly, and his facial features were all displaced, so it was impossible to tell his true age. He just knew that Lao Zhangtou was about When he was about 70 years old, the two of them were brothers, and after all, they were not much different, so they also called him uncle.
Li Chen asked a little embarrassedly: "Then what should I call you?"
Zhao Laowai thought for a while and said: "If you call me eldest brother, that doesn't seem to be the case. After all, you are half of Lao Zhangtou's apprentice, and we can't make you inferior. So, you can call me Uncle, the difference is not too big and I can accept it."
After listening to what he said, Li Chen thought to himself: "No wonder that old Zhangtou said that his junior brother is not serious. It turns out that his words are a bit 'cloudy and foggy' and 'unreasonable'."
Zhao Laowai glanced at Li Chen and said, "I'm just saying that my damn senior brother won't say good things about me to others. He must have said bad things about me to you, right?" Li Chen thought to himself, no wonder Lao Zhangtou said this about him. Junior brother is very capable, he can know whatever is on his mind.
Zhao Laowai added: "I am not always good at everything, but sometimes I can occasionally know the other person's thoughts. In the old words, this is called mind reading, and in modern words, it means matching the brain waves. In the future, you will have Taoist skills. After you achieve what you have accomplished, you can be like me."
Li Chen asked: "Actually, this is not good. If you know other people's thoughts, doesn't that mean you have no secrets in front of you?"
Zhao Laowai said: "Actually, it's not that magical. He can only temporarily connect with your brain waves, and it is continuous and disconnected. If you want to completely know what people are thinking, even if Zhang Tianshi comes, it will not be possible. arrive."
Just as he said this, the boss brought the wine and food to him and said to him: "You are an old boy who can exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, so you compared yourself to Zhang Tianshi. Isn't that a bit too impressive?"
