C59

I stood next to the pill furnace that was about the same height as me for a long time. Seeing that Sang Ming still hadn't followed me, I turned around to look at him and found that he was still holding onto his longsword and hadn't changed his posture when I left.

"Zi Sang Ming? "I can't move it."

Zishan Ming looked at me and was about to walk towards me. However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground!

I hurried towards him, hoping to catch him before he fell to the ground, but of course, I knew that we were only four or five meters apart. I was just a mortal.

Fortunately, before he fell to the ground, Zishan Ming used all his strength to insert his sword into a rock on the ground. His arm trembled from the immense force, and in the end, he managed to support his body with his sword.

I urgently wanted to check on his injuries, but Zishan Ming isn't a human after all, even if I learned how to treat people, it would still be useless to him. I observed for a while, and only then did I realize that there was nothing out of the ordinary about his appearance.

He patted me lightly on the back to comfort me, and then he forced himself to stand up. I immediately grabbed him and walked with him to the side of the pill furnaces.

Zishan Ming leaned half his body against me, but I still didn't feel any weight on him. Then, he raised his sword and waved it horizontally towards the six pill furnaces, destroying all of them.

I felt my heart ache because looking at that Taoist's clothes, I guessed that he must be someone from the Ming Dynasty. Those pill furnaces are all antique, but when I thought about how these are all things I obtained from harming people, I immediately felt less uncomfortable.

As expected, the six pill furnaces broke apart one by one. Even their lids were torn from the middle. With a loud sound, they were scattered all over the place. The cauldron was filled with something that looked like a crystal ball glowing with a dark blue light. I looked at it curiously and became lost in thought.

"These are the death wishes."

I looked at the six death wishes of the pill furnaces and couldn't count them all. I couldn't help but be shocked – how many people did this Daoist Priest harm to collect so many death wishes?!

Zi Sang Ming placed his long arm on my shoulder and the long sword in his other hand gradually disappeared. Then, he raised one of his hands and swept it towards a damaged pill furnace. Those death wishes seemed to have received an order as they flew out of the furnace one by one and lined up in front of Zi Sang Ming.

He stared fixedly at the death wishes I could not count. He scanned them from beginning to end, and then, with his right hand, he held up something that I could not even describe as a flame. He threw it at them all at once.

Following which, these wishes for death started to burn violently, as though they were straw thrown into a bonfire. A large cluster of blue flames with a diameter of over two meters burned intensely in midair, and from time to time, a few wails would sound out from within the flames.

"This King merely cast a spell to allow them to reincarnate as soon as possible."

Zi Sang Ming saw that I couldn't accept it and explained to me.

However, after knowing the truth, I felt a lot more at ease.

Very quickly, the countless death wishes in the six pill furnaces were all dealt with by Sang Ming. Then he lowered his head and said to me, "I didn't find Zhao Xue's wish to die."

It was only then that I realized that we had come here with a purpose, not to save the world …

"What about that Taoist? Shall we find him and ask him? "

Zi Sang Ming looked at my innocent face and couldn't help but sigh. He then said in a muffled voice, "Ashes."

I was slightly disappointed. Firstly, it was because I didn't find Zhao Xue's wish to die, and secondly, I didn't find Zhao Xue's body.

The second reason was because of that Daoist Priest. He had fought all his life to achieve eternal life, but when he was alive, he was tricked, and his soul was trapped here, unable to escape. But his death didn't change, and he still collected the wishes of others after he died.

Seeing that I stopped talking, Zi Sang Ming lowered his head and asked: "What? Are you feeling sorry for him? Or do you think This King is too cruel? "

I sighed. This kind of person wasn't worth sympathizing with. I sympathized with him. Isn't that the same as a farmer holding a snake in his arms? As for the matter of his demise, perhaps his disappearance was a good thing for the world itself.

I smiled indifferently at Sang Ming and replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing. I just feel disappointed that I haven't settled Zhao Xue's matter."

"Zhao Xue's corpse is not here. Yan Nuo, come back with me."

Without waiting for my reply, Zi Sang Ming suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist. Soon after, I felt the world spinning in front of my eyes as countless familiar colors flashed past my eyes, but I couldn't clearly see what it was.

It wasn't until Zishan Ming stopped and my feet touched the ground that I felt relieved. I was glad I didn't have the "airsickness".

It took me a moment to realize that we were out of the well.

Shen Tuo, who was sitting on top of it, didn't know what was going on and didn't know what to do. He anxiously paced around the entrance of the well, and after seeing us come up, he was also stunned for a while before hurriedly running over and asking me what was going on.

He pulled me far away as if he was trying to separate me from Sang Ming. I wanted to cry, but there were no tears, so I could only pull him away and casually said, "We are mortal bodies, and they are ghosts. No matter how far you run, if he really wants to eavesdrop, do you think you can hide?"

Shen Ta secretly lowered his head and secretly frowned. Then, he waved his hand, laughed and said, "Forget it." Then, he directly opened his mouth to ask me about my following situation. I told him about our experiences and was a little disappointed.

He sat on the ground and took out a cigarette from someone's pocket, but he couldn't find the lighter in his pocket. In the end, he stared at the cigarette in his hand for a long time before unwillingly withdrawing it.

Shen Ta squatted on the ground for a while. I also stood on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Shen Tuo tilted his head and looked at me. His eyebrow slightly raised as he unwillingly asked: "What's going on? Go back? "

I shrugged at him and looked at Zishan, who was standing behind me. "I have no choice. Let's go back."

Shen Tuo did not speak again along the way. When he returned home, he did not say anything and just went straight into the study. When I tried to open the door, I found that he had already locked it and was deep in research.

During this period of time, Zhao Xue never came here again. I don't know if it was because Zi Sang Ming was always by my side.

Zi Sang Ming's injuries worsened due to the injuries he already had and the battle with the Taoist. However, because I was worried that Zhao Xue would come back to take revenge, Zi Sang Ming stayed by my side and didn't move an inch away from me. However, he spent most of his time sitting and healing his injuries.

Today, while I was helping Shen Tuo's grandfather clean the yard, Shen Tuo suddenly came out of his study.

It has already been three days. Other than eating three meals a day, Shen Tuo even sleeps in the study room and never comes out. Today, he actually rushed out in such a hurry.

"Yan Nuo!" "Not good, not good!"

Seeing Shen Tuo's panicked expression, I hastily threw the broom to the side and ran towards him. Zi Sang Ming followed behind me and also walked over without saying a word.

"I used these three days to search through many ancient books and found out that the Daoist priest you talked about used his death wish to live forever, but this method seems to have never been successful. All the records in history either found that this method was too cruel and abandoned halfway, or were forced to give up."

Shen Tuo seemed to be immersed in an investigation and didn't have the time to take care of himself. A layer of dry skin had already formed on his lips due to lack of water.

I hastily poured him a glass of water and listened to him continue.

He didn't bother to drink the water and pushed the cup of water to the side, continuing, "From the moment you came out of the well, I already felt that something was wrong, because since that Taoist was at the same level as Zishan Ming and could even injure Zishan Ming, then it's impossible for him to not be able to keep Zhao Xue's death wish."

After listening to Shen Ta's explanation, my brain seemed to have suddenly figured something out, and my eyes lit up.

It's no wonder that ever since I came back, I felt that something was wrong. I don't know why, but even after some thought, I still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After Shen Tuo's reminder, I finally understood that when Zhao Xue died, she was no different from a normal ghost. Even now, she was no match for Zishan Ming. So how did she escape from the hands of that Taoist back then?

I looked at Shen Ta in confusion. Shen Ta's finger was trembling randomly. He took a deep breath and said, "This is the problem that I want to clarify!"

Zi Sang Ming and I looked at each other before looking at Shen Tuo.

Zhao Xue was always bullied when she was alive, and she was also rather jealous. Therefore, after she died, her resentment was extremely deep, and when the resentment was converted into a wish of death, the degree would deepen by dozens to hundreds to thousands of times. This all depends on the state of mind of the undead when making a wish of death.

I finally understood Shen Tuo's meaning. In other words, when Zhao Xue died, her resentment was originally deeper than ordinary people. In addition, with the help of the mana of a Taoist priest, his wish to die was even stronger than normal wishes for death. No, maybe not. Shen Tuo just said that the increment of this power could be calculated a thousand times.

Obviously, Zhao Xue's wish to die had turned even more serious due to her incomparably deep resentment …

However, I was puzzled as to what this had to do with Zhao Xue's wish to die.
