Chapter 242: Where's the promise to beat up the kid? [Additional update]
He has been talented since childhood and has high ambitions throughout his life.
Others carry swords, but I have a pen as sharp as a knife.
In the morning, I am a farmer, and in the evening, I ascend to the emperor's palace.
There is no such thing as a special breed of generals and ministers. A man should be strong!
…
It is said that Manager Liu and his family, accompanied by Du Lanke, waited anxiously in the courtyard until it was getting dark.
Shopkeeper Liu was always worried.
In his opinion, Master Du's young master seemed less reliable than Master Du - at least he looked mature.
That Taoist priest Xiao Li, he only burned incense and looked for his master when the time came, and then said he would be back before dark after going out to learn skills...
It is a perfect interpretation of what it means to "not pray for help at ordinary times, but seek help at the last minute".
What profound magical power can you learn in one afternoon?
As the sun gradually set, his wife, who had not slept for a long time, could no longer bear it. Shopkeeper Liu felt that he could not wait any longer.
He stood up suddenly and shook his head, saying, "No, let's report it to the police. Let Chao Tianque handle this matter. At least I can feel at ease."
Du Lan Ke did not try to persuade him. He just raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Manager Liu, you may not know that if there is anything difficult to solve in Chaotianque, you have to ask my master to help. If my master is not capable, then it is likely that you will not be able to help Chaotianque either."
"Really?" Shopkeeper Liu asked suspiciously.
Of course I made that up.
Dulanke was also very anxious.
He also felt that Li Chu's going out to practice his magical power was a fantasy. The more powerful the magical power, the more painstaking research it requires. Things like the soul leaving the body don't sound like a skill that can be mastered in a short time...
but.
Since his master had asked him to look after Manager Liu's family here, he naturally had to make arrangements for them.
If the master returns and finds that the business he has obtained is gone, won't Junyan be furious? With such concerns, he cleared his throat.
It's time to show true professionalism.
Four Lessons for Being a Taoist Priest...
"Manager Liu, you may not know this, but my master's name is well-known in Hangzhou. All the cultivators in the martial arts world know that 'If Heaven had not given birth to Taoist Priest Xiao Li, the sword path would have been dark forever.'"
"This..." Shopkeeper Liu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "This is not symmetrical at all."
Taoist Master Du added: "There is another saying, 'If a person does not know Taoist Master Li, it is useless to call him a hero.'"
Shopkeeper Liu said, "This doesn't rhyme either."
"Hey!" Taoist Priest Du was anxious and waved his hands, saying, "You are not a scholar, why do you care so much? Anyway, my master is very powerful. No evil spirit can survive a single sword strike from him!"
"Is it true?" Shopkeeper Liu was still in doubt.
I also wrote this...
Although a few words could not dispel the doubts in his heart, as Dulanke spoke nonsense, night fell quietly.
Li Chu also returned to Liu's house.
After half a day's running around, he went to Yimengzhai to learn magic, followed Wang Longqi to exorcise demons, returned to Deyun Temple, and then came back again. It was quite a rush.
When Du Lanke saw him coming in, he thought to himself, "You are finally back." He hurried over to him and asked, "Master, is your soul leaving your body going well? I heard that the soul leaving the body is extremely difficult and the most difficult to get started!"
He was afraid that things would not go smoothly and Li Chu would lose face, so he made a special effort to put it in front of him. In this way, whether Li Chu succeeded or not, it would be helpful.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Manager Liu’s brows furrowed even more.
Then Li Chu nodded calmly, "It went smoothly."
"real?!"
When Manager Liu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is my wife saved?"
"Um……"
Li Chu looked at Madam Liu sitting on the chair. From his mind's observation, both the pregnant woman and the fetus in her belly were very weak. Although this state was not considered healthy, it was more suitable for the soul to possess the body because the rejection would be weakened.
"I will do my best, Manager Liu, please rest assured."
He never likes to make too many promises, but judging from his calm expression, he seems to be quite confident.
Shopkeeper Liu felt relieved.
He leaned back, wiped the sweat off his face while sitting on the chair, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Taoist Xiao Li."
Li Chu didn't hesitate to say anything, and said directly: "Please go to sleep peacefully, Madam. I will then enter the fetus' body with my soul outside the screen to help him deal with those soul poisonous insects."
…
It's cold tonight.
Even the Flower Street was no longer bustling; the ground was cracked by the cold.
Rich people live in warm rooms, and poor beggars will find a small nest to spend the winter. If they don't have one, they can only wait for the end of freezing to death.
No one would walk outside in this kind of weather.
But there is one.
He was wearing a tattered coat, and his messy hair and beard covered his face, making him look like an old man.
In his right hand he leaned on a broken wooden cane, and in his left hand he held a lantern that flickered dimly. Somehow, the light from the lantern became colder the more he looked at it.
The old man came to the entrance of Liu's alley with a lantern in his hand and said slowly, "The weather is dry—"
call out--
It was as if a few points of fluorescence were drifting out from his lantern.
In the house.
After Mrs. Liu lay down, she found it difficult to fall asleep. Li Chu had to ask Liu's family to light some calming incense before she could fall asleep peacefully.
His soul also left his body.
At this time, the fetus was almost formed and had a complete soul. He directly attached the fire of the soul to the fetus' body.
It's chaos.
Before he could feel it carefully, a few fluorescent lights floated in.
Coming so quickly.
These fluorescent lights instantly transformed into several hideous poisonous insects with evil looks, attacking the soul of the fetus.
Then……
Suddenly they stopped.
Because in that familiar place, it was no longer just a little bit of baby spirit fire.
But he is an adult who looks very difficult to deal with.
etc.
What happened to the promise to beat up the kid? Although these poisonous insects are not very smart, they have at least broken out from the crowd of soul insects, and their intelligence is much stronger than that of ordinary insects.
Strength lies in...
They know to flee when they encounter a strong enemy! From the perspective of "Xuan", those few points of spiritual fire had just neatly entered Madam Liu's body in less than a breath, and suddenly they fled out as if they saw a flood or a beast!
No matter what the formation is.
The father died and the mother remarried, everyone took care of themselves! The next second, Li Chu's soul also came out.
There was no need to draw the sword, it was just like an adult stepping on a bug to death, one kick at a time, clean and neat.
Originally, their mission was to fight a desperate battle with that little soul and pass on all their hostility, murderousness, and evil spirit... to it.
But now, Li Chu kicked him one by one like stepping on a stink bug.
Only the weak, pitiful and helpless are left.
Killing a few poisonous insects in a blink of an eye is not the end.
Li Chu's eyes had long been locked on the strange spiritual fire outside the alley.
Whoosh——
The soul of "Xu" was invisible and traceless, and flew away in an instant.
All of this was seen by the old man outside.
In his opinion, it was normal to send the soul insect into the baby's mother's womb, but he didn't know what happened. The soul insects suddenly came out again, and then a big soul came out. How dare you...
The old man was suddenly startled.
A premature baby? Even if you are Nezha, you are too big, right?
During this moment of hesitation, he lost his last chance to escape.
Li Chu is here...
The old man paused in the wind, then raised his hand suddenly and threw the lantern in his hand!
roar--
The little firefly in the lantern swelled up in the wind, and instantly turned into a huge mouth of the abyss, ugly and ferocious, opening its mouth wide to swallow Li Chu! This is the real soul Gu used for fighting!
But Li Chu just moved his fingers.
Whoosh——
A flaming meteor shot out from the house and instantly penetrated the huge mouth!
Bang! The soul poison was broken, and the old man's eyes flashed with brilliance. Then he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his clothes fell off lightly.
Li Chu could see it clearly as soon as he approached.
This old man is nothing more than a scarecrow infused with soul fire.
It was obvious that the soul puppet master had reached perfection in the art of the soul, and any object could be used as a puppet.
Li Chu tried to use the mind-eye technique to cover the entire city, but could not find any trace.
In the night, the stars are bright.
It seems that the enemy is a bit difficult.
…
"Such a powerful soul..."
On a lake covered with solid ice outside Shenluo City.
There was a sinister figure sitting cross-legged on the cold lake surface, with a gloomy voice.
The figure looked down at the ice, and there were clear and distinct ripple-like images on the surface.
"Through the mirror, I can't even feel how powerful he is..."
"But……"
"I'm just going to take back what's mine..."
"No matter who stops me..."
"I can only say sorry..."
