After the dust dispersed a little, and after making sure that there was no black energy rising from Wang Youming's body, Chai Jiangcuicai and Tu Tu approached him cautiously.
At this time, Wang Youming was already breathing more out and less in. He was no longer as arrogant as before. But compared to before, his eyes at this moment seemed very calm and no longer crazy.
"Ahem~ When I was young, I traveled with a caravan for a period of time. During that time, I met a seriously injured and dying immortal.
The immortal gave me an elixir before he passed away, saying that this elixir could extend my life for hundreds of years. But the price is that I have a half chance of becoming a human being and a ghost."
After Chai Jiangcui came closer, Wang Youming suddenly spoke, not caring whether the two of them were listening, talking to himself about the past,
"At that time, I was a little high-spirited and felt that birth, old age, illness and death were the normal conditions in this world, and I would not try this expensive elixir under any circumstances.
But I was wrong, very wrong. When I was old and about to die, I suddenly felt so scared. Death was so terrifying. I didn’t want to die, I wanted to live. So I found this pill that I had given me many years ago.
medicine."
As Wang Youming said this, he couldn't help but smile to himself, his blue and black face full of complexity.
"Obviously, you failed. I guess the immortal who gave you the elixir before was most likely not on the right path."
Chai Jiangcui took the words, raised the sword in his hand expressionlessly, and said calmly:
"Do you have any last words?"
Wang Youming shook his head slightly and said, "No, what needs to be explained was already explained clearly when I was lying in the coffin. I just want to say 'sorry' to Lord Tu Tu."
Zheng——
The sword's light was like snow, and Wang Youming's heavenly spirit was pierced by the Shuiyue Sword, making no sound at all.
"Alas, you are also a miserable person who has taken the wrong path. I will forgive you."
The Tutu Master looked at Wang Youming's body on the ground and let out a long sigh.
His current condition is not very good, his beard and hair are messy, and the brocade robe woven by divine power is full of holes. The evergreen crutch he threw before was also split in half by the aftermath of Chai Jiang Cui's thunder method.
Feeling distressed, he picked up the two crutches on the ground and bowed his hands to Chai Jiangcui respectfully.
"Thank you to the fairy for taking care of the demon. If the fairy hadn't happened to be here today, everyone in Wangjia Village would have been in ruins."
"You're welcome, Master Tutu. It is a blessing for the villagers here to have a god like you in Wangjia Village."
Chai Jiangcui still has deep respect for Wang Zhongyuan, a land man. Not only did he save his own life, he also stopped Wang Youming at all costs.
Such a deity is truly worthy of worship from the people.
Just as the two were complimenting each other, Chai Jiangcui noticed with keen awareness that a faint black energy floated out from Wang Youming's body and was secretly absorbed by the card in her arms.
But now that the Land Master was present, Chai Jiangcui couldn't immediately take out the card to check the situation, so he had to secretly keep this discovery in his heart.
Now that the matter has been successfully resolved, Chai Jiangcui does not intend to continue to deal with the subsequent handling of the barnyard. Muramasa will handle this mess on his own.
Back at Wang Dagui's home, Chai Jiangcui briefly explained the situation, then went back to her room alone to meditate and recover. The battle just now consumed a lot of spiritual power in her body.
The next morning it was just dawn, and the light snow that had been falling all day and night had stopped. Chai Jiangcui slipped out of the house quietly without disturbing anyone, and led the horse towards the entrance of the village.
Passing by the Tutu Temple on the way, Chai Jiangcui found that the Tutu Lord had been waiting outside the door early and waved goodbye to her with a kind face.
"I wish the fairy a prosperous path to immortality."
"Take care, Mr. Tu Tu. If Jiang Cui has any experience in the immortal world, I will definitely share it with Mr. Tu Tu."
Chai Jiangcui also smiled back. Although they had known each other for only a day, they felt an inexplicable feeling of sympathy for each other.
Halfway through the journey, when no one was around, Chai Jiangcui secretly took out the card in his arms and looked at it. He found that after the black energy, the card only turned into the white color it was when the card was drawn for the first time, and absorbed the strange energy.
That would be a little different.
Because there is no novice tutorial for this card, she doesn't understand the principle, but it is a good thing to draw cards.
But this time Chai Jiangcui's luck seemed to be bad, as a piece of clothing was drawn from this white card.
The lavender Yushang Skirt can increase the user's recovery speed by half when worn on the body.
The effect looks very powerful, but the problem is that this skirt looks very gorgeous, and the style is still suitable for summer wear.
Wearing this outfit will turn heads more than 200% of the time, and the clothing is cumbersome, making it very inconvenient to get into a fight.
"This thing can only be worn in the boudoir after a fight. It seems a bit useless."
Chai Jiangcui curled her lips and put away her lavender Yushang skirt, then continued on her way with her head buried in the air.
Although my trip to Wangjia Village this time was a little different from what I imagined, it was a small gain to meet the Land Master.
He rode his horse back to Yingya City, but after entering the city, Chai Jiangcui did not go back to Chai's house, but went straight to Lu Mansion in the east of the city.
It's still early in the morning, so instead of going back to Chai's house to practice hard, it's better to go take a look at this second different case, and maybe gain something different.
…
The businessman surnamed Lu who reported to the official was quite wealthy in Yingya City, so it was easy to find the Lu Mansion in the east of the city.
Under the leadership of the concierge, Chai Jiangcui successfully arrived at the reception hall of the Lu Mansion. What surprised Chai Jiangcui was that a familiar figure was sitting in the reception hall at this time.
It's Jiujiu! Why did this pretty boy come to Lu's house? Is Wu Dewei so idle every day?
Chai Jiangcui secretly thought that something was not right, but it was unreasonable to turn around and leave now that he had already arrived.
In desperation, she had no choice but to sit on a chair, not daring to look at Jiu Jiu.
"Huh? Why did Miss Chai come to the Lu Mansion today, and why is she still wearing headcatcher clothes?"
Jiujiu was also very surprised by Chai Jiangcui's arrival. In his impression, Miss Chai was the daughter of the county governor. Shouldn't she be a poet, singer, and embroiderer on weekdays?
Regardless of whether a person traveling alone meets the requirements of the Sheriff's Office, personal safety alone cannot be guaranteed.
"This... ah... I am usually interested in solving crimes, and I also hold a position as a catcher in the government office. I am here today to investigate the case.
On the other hand, Mr. Jiu, as a military guard, are you so free? I remember when my father informed you that you arrived at Chai Mansion after more than half a month. As the sword of the empire, the military guard cannot be so frivolous as a county guard, right?"
In response to Jiujiu's question, Chai Jiangcui hesitated for a moment and finally came up with a lame excuse.
However, just because she was not good at making excuses did not mean that she was not good at talking. In order to prevent Jiu Jiu from continuing to ask questions, Chai Jiangcui directly hit him and labeled Jiu Jiu as someone who despised the laws of the court.
