Chapter 37: The Divine Eagle, the Spiritual Child as the Guide
Li Che hummed a little tune, feeling extremely happy. He went to the braised meat shop in the west of the city and specially cut two pounds of pork head meat. He planned to drink a jar of wine with Lao Xu and Lao Chen in the evening.
I just obtained my third Dao Fruit, which gave me more capital to make a living in this world, so I was naturally in a very good mood.
Snow is falling on the long street.
Because Xixi's birthday is in the cold winter, every time Xixi's birthday is approaching, it is accompanied by heavy snow.
The chill was biting, but Li Che had now mastered bone-hardening and his blood and energy were strong, so he was not afraid of the cold.
Suddenly, Li Che's scalp felt slightly numb, and in his chest, the Dao Fruit [Pure Heart] that he had just obtained began to beat violently.
Li Che paused and frowned.
It was a feeling of being watched.
The face under the bamboo hat suddenly raised up, and when he looked up, he saw an old man leading a child with Nezha braids in the long snowy street in the distance, staring at him in a daze.
Li Che suddenly felt a little confused. There were people coming and going on the street, why was this old man staring at him alone? Could it be that he was staring at the pig head in his hand?
Li Che also looked back and saw the old man leading the child with Nezha braids and shifting his gaze.
Li Che felt something was strange and immediately became alert.
However, Li Che was only alert and passed by the old man without making any move until he was far away.
Li Che finally relaxed, thinking that he was too cautious and almost recorded the old man in his notebook.
…
…
"Master? What's wrong?" Lu Chi noticed that something was wrong with his master and couldn't help but ask.
The old man closed his eyes, dispelled the [Viewing Nature Technique], shook his head, and felt extremely regretful and sad.
“What a pity… What a pity…”
"Flawless, pure as water, like white paper..."
"There is such a pure white newborn divinity between heaven and earth..."
"This kind of divinity is extremely malleable, but it's a pity... the one who holds such divinity is actually a young man, and he is just a martial artist, after all, he is too old."
"A spirit boy in his twenties? That's weird."
"The cultivation of divinity by spirit children and spirit infants is different from that of ordinary warriors. They are born with divinity, so they can start to cultivate their divinity from the very beginning. After reaching adulthood, they can generally reach the level of 'cultivating their nature like a lamp'. Only then can they impact the foundation of divinity before the age of thirty, and hope to condense into a god before the age of sixty..."
The old man shook his head. He used the art of seeing the nature to see the pure white divinity in Li Che, and he was really... moved.
Unfortunately, the divinity is not in a young child, but in a rough man.
"I'm a bit old, and my martial arts skills have only just begun to develop. It's still a long way from a blood transfusion. Before I turn thirty... it's a bit difficult to build a divine foundation."
"Such divinity is wasted."
…
…
After returning to Xu's Woodcarving Shop, Li Che was still thinking about the old man.
It was very strange, and vaguely gave him a strong sense of crisis. Daoguo's warning must be reasonable.
Fortunately... Li Che always valued harmony with others throughout his life, and nothing messy happened.
"Fei Lei City is becoming increasingly chaotic. Various forces and powerful people of all kinds...are emerging one after another."
Li Che shook his head.
Back in the yard, Xixi was cultivating her divinity under Xu You's guidance.
"Xixi is a spiritual child, full of divinity. It will be good for her future if she learns to cultivate and lay a good foundation early. For a divine cultivator, age is crucial."
Xu You was wearing white clothes and had a sword on his waist. When he saw Li Che returning, he smiled and said.
"By the way, Che, the shop has formed a guard team, which is composed of woodcarving masters. You have to join the patrol. I have arranged shifts for each woodcarving master and separated your shift from Lao Chen's. This way, Xixi's safety can be ensured."
If Lao Chen and Li Che left at the same time, Xixi's safety would not be guaranteed. Xu You made the arrangement with this in mind.
Nightfall.
Xu You and Li Che walked side by side on the snow-covered alleys, patrolling the Xuji compound, protecting and ensuring the safety of the families of the many woodcarving masters living in the compound.
Li Che was carrying a long spear on his back. The martial arts he openly practiced was the "Xu's Eighth Bone Crushing Spear". Now that he had properly demonstrated his cultivation, his perfect tendon opening and his great spear skills earned him the title of "genius" in Xu's group.
After two years of martial arts training, from skin grinding to tendon relaxation, he is naturally very good.
"Two days ago, the Yang Family Courtyard set up by the Inner City Yang Family in the Outer City Woodcarving Shop was attacked by the Spirit Infant Cult's thugs..."
Xu You placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, looked at the dark sky, and said in a deep voice.
Li Che's heart trembled. He really didn't know this news.
"The evildoers of the Spirit Infant Cult...are so rampant?" Li Che said in a deep voice.
"There are many strong people in the Spirit Infant Sect. After being expelled from the inner city, they settled in the outer city. Now they are targeting the spirit children of each family in the outer city... Several woodcarving masters died in the Yang family compound, and a spirit child in the compound was robbed and taken away."
Xu You clenched his fingers tightly, and veins on his fingers throbbed.
"Because... there is news that a cultivator from the Divine Sect has gone down the mountain to Feilei City."
"The Spirit Infant Sect must act before the Divine Sect monks set foot in Feilei City, otherwise... the real good seedlings will definitely be taken away by the Divine Sect monks."
"So, these days, the Spirit Infant Cult... has gone completely crazy."
"Mr. Xu from the inner city...won't you send strong men to the outer city to take charge?" Li Che frowned and couldn't help asking.
After hearing this, Xu You fell silent.
"Inner City Xu Ji..."
"It's not a big problem, we can block it on our own..." Xu You forced a smile.
But Li Che saw some sadness, anger and helplessness on his face.
…
…
Feilei Inner City, Jinhuang Pavilion.
A breeze blew through the hall, rippling the curtains.
A figure bent his body and walked respectfully along the corridor. After a moment, he arrived at a suspended pavilion in the Jinhuang Pavilion.
In the center of the pavilion, a hot stove was boiling water.
Si Mubai was sitting on a chair, and next to him was a beautiful woman with light makeup and a beautiful appearance. She was brewing tea elegantly and demonstrating her tea art.
"Sir, Zhao Chuanxiong is here."
A deep voice came from the other side of the door.
Afterwards, Zhao Chuanxiong, dressed in casual clothes and with a knife on his waist, stepped into the pavilion.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Mr. Si, I wonder why you called me?" Zhao Chuanxiong said in a slightly humbly manner with a flattering smile on his face.
Although he was an official of the imperial court, he was only the chief constable of the outer city. Naturally, he did not have much confidence when facing the son of his boss's family.
"I heard... you fought against the Bull Demon and survived?"
Si Mubai drank the tea brewed by the beautiful tea artist, without even looking at Zhao Chuanxiong below, and said lightly.
Zhao Chuanxiong was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that Si Mubai would come to him to talk about such a topic.
His expression quickly changed slightly.
Because, he had originally found the Bull Demon as the deputy incense master of the Spirit Infant Sect, and had teamed up with the Eight Diagrams Stick Warrior to fight the Bull Demon...
Si Mubai... knew his identity? Zhao Chuanxiong was shocked and his face trembled.
"Don't worry, your identity is no longer a secret. Not only you... I know the identities of many people in your Lingying Sect."
Si Mubai finished his tea and played with the jade teacup, smiling.
"I have cooperated with your Master. I have shown my sincerity, so your Master will naturally show my sincerity as well. The Master has agreed to carve a second-level [Divine Condor] for me. However, I need a spirit boy as a guide..."
Zhao Chuanxiong was embarrassed when he heard this: "Master Si, do you want me to find another spirit boy from the outer city and send him here?"
"But Mr. Si, in the past two years, the outer city has basically run out of spirit infants and spirit children. The remaining children have very poor divinity and are ordinary... useless."
"Some time ago, even the spiritual boy from the Yang family compound was taken away..."
"So if we want to find another spiritual child, it will take some time, or even wait until a new batch of babies are born before we can be sure."
Zhao Chuanxiong let out a breath.
Si Mubai: "Isn't there a top-grade spirit boy in Xu's Woodcarving Shop?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuanxiong immediately thought of Li Che and the believer who had died in the wood carving shop because of that high-quality spiritual boy who had caused the master of magic to send down the statue of a three-headed, six-armed, angry-eyed spiritual infant.
"You mean... the daughter of Li Che, the woodcarver from Xuji?"
Zhao Chuanxiong said tentatively.
Si Mubai played with the teacup, his face indifferent and cold: "Are there any other high-quality spiritual children?"
Zhao Chuanxiong's face twitched: "To be honest, Master Si... I suspect that the vicious Niu Mo may have something to do with Xu Ji."
"I……"
Si Mubai waved his hand: "No need to say, I know what you are afraid of..."
"You have been staying at home for the past year and never traveled alone. Is this all to avoid the Bull Demon?"
"You used Sun Changbiao's widow as bait to lure the Bull Demon to kill you, so you fought with the Bull Demon before. Later, Bagua Stick died, and you were scared..."
Zhao Chuanxiong was not embarrassed. Why should he be embarrassed for the sake of survival? Look at the Bagua stick. Is there any reason to be embarrassed now? If he loses his life, he will lose everything.
"Based on the several times this Bull Demon attacked, he seems to be targeting the Spirit Infant Sect. In addition, he also has some relationship with Xu Ji."
"This Bull Demon is probably from Xu Ji."
Si Mubai leaned against the yellow pear wood armchair and tapped the table with his slender fingers.
"I'm also curious... Who is this Bull Demon in Xu Ji?"
"Who could he be who can freely enter and exit the inner and outer cities and has perfected his bone tempering skills? It can't be Xu Heli, nor Xu Beihu. As for the third son of the Xu family, it's even more impossible..."
"It doesn't matter who it is, except him."
Si Mubai looked at Zhao Chuanxiong with a look in his eyes that seemed to be both crying and laughing.
"Just do your job well, and I'll get rid of the Bull Demon for you."
"Since the Bull Demon wants to kill you so much...just let him kill you."
Zhao Chuanxiong's face suddenly darkened, and in his heart... he was quite excited! If he could really get rid of the Bull Demon, he would be able to live without having to worry so much.
Niu Mo must die, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat. The death of Bagua Gun was vivid in his mind, like a nightmare! Zhao Chuanxiong's eyes flickered...
But I still feel a little scared...
After all, what Si Mubai meant by getting rid of the Bull Demon...
Damn, you're using him to fish!
No, it's fishing for bulls! He has been hiding for so long, and he is afraid that when the time comes...
He didn’t catch the cow, but his bait... was eaten first!
