"You... Have changed a lot."
Li Shitou was silent for a long time and finally spoke.
From Xu Changqing, he felt a terrible threat, which could not help but remind him of the scene when he met the autopsy immortal.
Even if he is now the fourth level of Shinto - [Luo Feng]! However, there is still a long distance from the fifth level [Prince Yama].
For many mortals, becoming a God is impossible. It is very difficult to cross the natural graben from the fourth to the fifth order.
"Sure enough... At the beginning, I lost grandpa... I lost a lot..."
Li Shitou felt both regret and envy.
It is impossible to say that the little friends who grew up together in the village and even looked at their faces when they were young are far more than themselves.
However, he is now a Yin God, has also grown a lot, and can well control his emotions.
"How about... In the village?"
Xu Changqing looked at her childhood partner and didn't know what to say for a moment. She asked casually.
"Everyone is fine... So am I."
Li Shitou thought for a while and said frankly, "I've excavated the remains of my predecessor [Luo Feng] in the underground mansion. Now it's level 4..."
"That's good..."
Xu Changqing knew in his heart that as long as ordinary practitioners have a Dharma and work hard enough, they still have a certain hope to reach the fourth level.
But the leap from the fourth level to the fifth level was like a ghost gate, which baffled many friars.
Even if there is a method, the success rate is pitifully low.
For example, the owner of the relic where Li Shitou gained benefits was once a [Luo Feng], but failed to attack [crown prince Yan Luo], and failed to die.
"I have five steps of [Prince Yama]..."
Xu Changqing was silent again and finally spoke.
"[Prince Yanluo]?"
Li Shitou's eyes lit up.
If [Luo Feng] is just a local snake with a stronger underground, then [crown prince Yan Luo] is a real giant!
Even, it is possible to become the "son of Yin" and take charge of the underworld of the world, which can be seen from the professional name.
The so-called "Prince" was originally the reserve of the "son of heaven"! Have the legal system of inheritance!
"What do you want? Strange things? I have accumulated a lot of..."
Li Shitou asked.
"No..." Xu Changqing shook his head: "I just need you to make an oath to witness the underworld."
As a Yin God, the binding force of this oath is very strong.
"What oath let me recognize you as the Lord?" Li Shitou's voice was a little stiff.
"No! I want you to protect the village forever!"
Xu Changqing said coldly, "this requirement... Is not high?"
"It's really not high, but even if I don't have an oath, I will... Well!" Li Shitou pondered for a moment, raised his right hand and held up three fingers: "I'm Li Shitou, please witness from the underworld..."
"People... Sure enough, they all change. Yin God has no flesh body, especially..."
Xu Changqing looked at this scene and whispered in his heart.
He was keenly aware that Li Shitou's mind had changed, but it was abnormal to remain unchanged.
After Li Shi finished his oath, he gave the information of Prince Yan Luo he got from his grandfather.
Looking at the scene where Li Shitou disappeared on the ground, he couldn't help sighing: "things are right and people are wrong..."
"Ha ha..."
Sulu smiled without speaking.
"It's true... I'm hypocritical." Xu Changqing lost his smile: "even I have changed. Why talk about others? It's useless to stay here. Let's go..."
……
Lingzhou, outside the state city.
After the rain, the air is fresh.
There are "official roads" between the city of Lingzhou and the major cities, and there are regular patrols of demon companies.
Although still plagued by demons and ghosts, it is much safer than the country path.
There is also a tea shed around the official road.
The shopkeeper here comes from Zhoucheng. He drives an ox cart to open the door every day to provide tea, snacks, wine and meat for passing visitors. Before dark, he has to move all the rich guys into the ox cart and rush back to the city to live.
The owner of the tea shed, surnamed "Wang" and nicknamed Lao wangtou, took his son as a waiter and was able to make a living by welcoming him in and out every day.
At this time, a young scholar with a bamboo basket on his back came outside the shop with an oil paper umbrella.
"My guest."
Xiao Wang, the son of old man Wang, immediately greeted him with a smile: "do you want to have a rest? Our thirst quenching tea is very famous..."
Half way through, he secretly wondered.
The young scholar's appearance can only be regarded as ordinary. He has washed and washed in a green shirt, and has been starched a little white, but his temperament is not vulgar. He can't see it with his eyesight.
"Just a bowl of tea and some snacks."
The scholar smiled, put down his basket and sat in a corner.
Old man Wang is an expert. He sent a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea without money: "after the rain and cold, my guest, drink a bowl to warm up... Are you here for the exam?"
"Exactly..."
The scholar nodded, but didn't say much.
Old man Wang knows that he must have come from a small family. Otherwise, he can't walk without a guard.
However, it's either a bit of luck or a bit of skill to come out of the state city safely, and I don't dare to neglect it.
"Sell cattle and sheep!"
A moment later, a cry came.
But it was a middle-aged shepherdess who drove a cow and three sheep to the tea shop and hawked.
"This sheep is good... How to sell it?"
Wang Xiaoer asked.
Meat is also made on the tea stand, which needs mutton.
"Not expensive, not expensive..." the woman smiled and quoted a very low price, which moved Wang Xiaoer and glanced at her father.
Old man Wang hesitated.
Naturally, the price is extremely low, but it can't be stolen goods or plague sheep?
He glanced carefully and felt that he didn't look like a sick sheep. He couldn't help but be moved.
At this time, the scholar also finished his tea, looked at the middle-aged woman, sneered and said to Wang Xiaoer, "I have nothing, so I'll give you a talisman to ensure peace."
Then, regardless of Wang Xiaoer's surprise, he took a piece of yellow paper directly, picked up the brush and began to draw symbols.
As he walked along, a strange symbol suddenly appeared.
It is like a word "advice", and the strokes on it seem to be constantly distorted and changing.
As soon as the Fu was finished, the shepherdess screamed and emitted wisps of black smoke.
The cattle and sheep are in a commotion, and there is a buzzing sound in their mouths, which seems to be a vague "help"!
"What kind of demon is this?"
Old man Wang's voice trembled with fear.
"Not a demon..."
The young scholar shook his head, took out a black knife from the shepherdess who turned into a pool of pus, scratched a few knives on the cattle and sheep, and peeled off the sheepskin.
Soon, several people emerged from inside, living people!
Seeing this scene, old man Wang and his son were cold and speechless.
