Chapter 81 The Third Item: Coin Catcher
After listening to Xiao Wu and Ji Xiangming's description, it turned out that the reason these two people were able to deliver the parcel safely and survive to the end was that they were too lazy to bother with the system.
While others were fighting among themselves the entire time, these two Buddhist players managed to stay calm all the way to the end.
"During the delivery process, has there ever been any problem with the items in the Ghost Box?"
Ye Minglang asked.
"Not really." Xiao Wu said without hesitation.
"The things in the box were very well behaved, and nothing unexpected happened during the whole process."
Because they successfully delivered this order, they were promoted directly.
Apart from the system itself constantly stirring up discord, the object itself has no difficulty and no sequelae.
Now that everything matched, Ye Minglang became even more certain that what Chen Li dreamed of was a real event.
"Your dream described that the contents of the Ghost Box were replaced, which is why they were able to complete the journey so smoothly. The difficulty and reward of this mission were totally mismatched."
On the surface, Ren Wu and Ji Xiangming presented the spleen, the deity of the internal organs, but in reality it was not the spleen at all.
Someone is hiding something from the world.
"Laboratory..."
Ye Minglang recalled that when he went to the laboratory in person before, he almost met the then director of the laboratory.
Tai Xiao?
Ye Minglang always felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but like Shen Li, he couldn't remember many things.
Looking back now, Chen Li's health is gradually recovering.
My stiff hands and feet can now move.
He felt extremely confused about his past, present and future.
"If I was really born from the spleen of a god, then what am I now?"
A life form that is related to God?
Or is it the god himself, but he has not yet reached the stage of awakening?
"Just let it be, Shen Li."
Ye Minglang kissed his forehead and comforted him: "No matter what you are, you belong to me."
They've already missed it once.
This time, no matter what, Ye Minglang will not let the tragedy of the past happen again.
Chen Li and Ye Minglang snuggled together, basking in the moonlight and roasting by the bonfire all night. Chen Li's shadow finally recovered a little, but it was still very faint.
Much lighter than a normal person's shadow.
"Is your mission this time difficult?"
Shen Li asked Ye Minglang.
The giant snake coiled at the foot of the mountain raised its head and looked down at Chen Li, as if protesting with its eyes.
Ye Minglang rang the bell and the big snake was taken back.
“It’s not difficult.”
After all, this two-headed snake is now the ruler of this snowy area, and he has completely subdued the snake.
This team of people can basically run wild in this dungeon.
A few days ago, he even used the big snake as a mount and carried them through the snowfield.
"My mission here is almost complete, how about you?"
Having said this, Chen Li belatedly stood up and hurriedly said goodbye to Ye Minglang.
"It's a bit tricky over there. I'm leaving first."
Shen Li crossed the ice and returned to the cellar.
The cellar had been completely cleaned out at this moment, and the sound of Bian Ling crying could be faintly heard outside.
Seeing Chen Li coming out of the cellar safely and reappearing in front of them as if he had appeared in a miracle, Bian Ling ran to Chen Li without even having time to wipe away her tears.
"Are you...alive or dead?"
Could it be that he has become a zombie?
The man with glasses died, and Jiang Lexin from this world replaced him and joined the delivery queue.
Jiang Lexin was also surprised. After confirming again and again, she found that Chen Li was really safe and sound.
"How is that possible? We saw your throat being cut with our own eyes!"
Catman A looked Shen Li up and down.
Chen Li made a long story short: "That is my shadow stand-in."
He never mentioned that he had been to Ye Minglang, and just glossed over the time he had been missing.
"Let's not talk about this for now. We have new clues about the copper coins."
Bian Ling couldn't wait to share the latest clues with Shen Li.
"Later, we carefully observed these copper coins again. Fortunately, Jiang Le was very careful and found a faint cross pattern on the copper coins."
Catman A pushed Bian Ling away and said, "Why don't you start from when Pangu created the world? Just tell me the conclusion!"
"Four of the five copper coins we have are not circulated as currency. These faint cross patterns are traces of being strung together with thread."
Catman A placed the four copper coins with the conclusion on the table.
"These four old copper coins look like they were specially used to ward off evil spirits."
During the time when Shen Li disappeared, they did not fall into despair.
"It is the custom of Cangzhou people to use old copper coins to ward off evil spirits."
Jiang Lexin added.
The continents of this world are divided into four plates.
Jizhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, and Tongtaizhou.
All four places have huge bronze cauldron furnaces.
"When I was driving corpses with my senior brother, I went to Cangzhou once. Almost everyone in that place would hang a string of old copper coins to ward off evil spirits."
It is said that the older the copper coin, the better the effect of warding off evil spirits.
The effect would be better if Taoist Master Guangyi from Cangzhou could consecrate it personally.
"These four coins have a strong smell of incense, and they have obviously been worshipped. Although the string that strung the coins together has been lost, now that we know they are coins to ward off evil spirits, let's go directly to Cangzhou."
In fact, they are now at the border between Cangzhou and Jizhou.
Every night, the copper cauldrons in two places began to burn the zombies at the same time. Two streams of black smoke shot straight into the sky, making it easy to identify the direction.
"I have met Taoist Master Guangyi once before. Let's go directly to his Taoist temple to find him."
Jiang Lexin suggested.
Without further ado, everyone set off immediately.
Before setting off, they went to meet up with the fisherman.
"You're looking for someone on this mountain? This mountain is huge!"
Jiang Lexin began to doubt her life.
"That's true, but he's a fisherman!"
To find this guy, just follow the stream all the way up.
"He is wherever there is water!"
It only took them half a day to climb the mountain when they ran into the fisherman who was coming down the mountain.
Cat Man A thought he was seeing things and was overjoyed.
"It's not easy. You actually came down the mountain! Not fishing anymore?"
The fisherman carried the bamboo fishing rod on his shoulder and said, "I have caught a big fish in this place."
Bian Ling: "Big fish? How big is it?"
The fisherman's fishing rod shook.
Chen Li looked behind the fisherman along his fishing rod.
There is a person tied to the fishing line at the end of the fishing rod!
The man had disheveled hair, wore a bright red wedding gown, and had water grass hanging around his neck.
The hands tied with the rope had turned white because they had been soaked in water for a long time.
Catman A didn't dare to step forward, but just cautiously signaled to Bian Ling: "This is definitely not a normal skin color."
Bian Ling nodded in agreement, "This is definitely not a normal human being."
Jiang Lexin took a look from a distance and concluded: "This is definitely not a normal big fish!"
Two seconds later, Jiang Lexin roared, "Wearing a bright red wedding dress! My senior sister! This is my senior sister!"
Jiang Lexin's words caused a huge uproar.
"Why is your sister in the water? And was she caught by a fisherman?"
What kind of miraculous prediction is this?
What kind of a god teammate is this fisherman who could predict all this in advance and fish up Jiang Lexin’s lost zombie sister with ease?
After Jiang Lexin was excited, she suddenly reacted.
"My senior sister is a zombie. You don't have any method to control zombies. How did you survive under my senior sister's hands?"
The fisherman scratched the mosquito bite on his leg.
"After she bit the hook and was tied up, she followed me obediently. She seemed to be different from other zombies. She seemed to be able to understand human language."
It's a rare day that it's not raining and the sun is shining brightly. The fisherman took off his woven straw hat and fanned himself.
Let's stop and rest for a while.
In order to verify the fisherman's statement, Jiang Lexin untied the fishing line from the zombie's hand.
Sure enough, the zombie who had temporarily gained freedom had no intention of running away. Even though someone was standing in front of her, she did not hurt anyone.
Could it be that she could really understand human speech? Or even have her own will?
Jiang Lexin's expression was moved, and she cried out in tears: "Senior Sister? Do you still recognize me? I am your junior fellow apprentice."
He lifted the long hair covering the zombie's eyes, and the familiar face was revealed.
She had no pupils and her eyes were completely white.
Because the previous embalming measures were done well, there was no foul smell of rotting corpse on the body.
It's just because the skin looks pale after soaking in water for too long.
The zombie seemed to have heard Jiang Lexin's voice, but it just turned its neck in that direction without much reaction.
Jiang Lexin thought that her senior sister would respond to her, but looking at her current state, she was at best a zombie that would not run around and was not dangerous.
"You want to send your senior sister back home? Where is your senior sister's hometown?"
Bian Ling asked him.
"My sister and I are both orphans. Neither of us knows where our real hometown is. I think our master's sect should be our hometown."
Jiang Lexin felt sadder and sadder as she thought about it. "Can I discuss something with you guys? Can you bring my senior sister with you on this trip?"
"It won't delay your work." Jiang Lexin emphasized.
"My senior sister and I's master is in Tongtaizhou, and we happen to pass through Cangzhou on our way home."
Bian Ling and Catman A are both easy to talk to. Chen Li usually doesn't easily get involved in decision-making and is often absent-minded. The fisherman only treated her as a fish from beginning to end, a big fish he caught himself, and everyone agreed.
They walked very fast along the way.
The zombie staggered, but was able to keep up.
It started to rain again at night, and there was no inn nearby for corpse drivers, so they were forced to sleep in a dilapidated temple.
Whenever the fishermen have some free time, they pick up their fishing rods and go out for night fishing.
Cat Man A distributed the baked sesame cakes to everyone.
When I walked in front of Bian Ling, Bian Ling was distracted.
Catman A followed her line of sight and looked outside.
I saw Chen Li and the zombie standing side by side under the eaves outside the ruined temple.
Shen Li was whispering something, but they couldn't hear the specific words.
The zombie tilted his face slightly, as if moved, and a tear fell from his eyes.
Chen Li reached out and wiped it for her...
