Chapter 15 The Ancient Village
The dagger that Qi Tianchuan gave me seemed to have extremely exquisite workmanship. At first glance, it was an old object. Two cicadas were carved out of something. The dagger itself was not made of what material, like silver, but it was dimmer than ordinary silver, giving people a thick feeling.
The two cicadas were carved like life, and when they suddenly looked, they thought it was real.
Qi Tianchuan raised his chin slightly and said to me proudly: "Looking at your appearance who has never seen the world, I almost stayed!"
"Isn't this the knife I used to pry walnuts last time? Alas! Little white-faced, why did you give him this? He doesn't eat walnuts." Wang Zheng's words instantly reduced my favorability for this dagger.
I have to say that Wang Zheng does have a special ability, that is, the topic terminator!
No matter how happy you are talking about any topic, once he speaks, we are no longer interested in continuing!
Qi Tianchuan was already furious, jumping and beating Wang Zheng, and said while beating: "You dead beast! You actually used my razor to pry walnuts! Which sewer was not closed properly and released you!"
I had been accustomed to the two of them fighting there, so I stayed quietly by the side to study the dagger in my hand. I pulled it hard for a few times, but it didn't pull it at all.
I'll go! This thing wasn't broken by Wang Zhe!
I looked up and down at the dagger, looking for any mechanisms to open.
While studying, Qi Tianchuan slapped me on the head!
"Damn! What are you doing? You two fight, why do you beat me? Is it really good to accidentally hurt the masses!" I shouted indignantly.
"Close your mouth!" Qi Tianchuan was angry and took the dagger in my hand.
The dagger became bright and transparent when it came to his hands.
Grass! Why does it change color!
"You earth bun! This dagger is made of a spirit stone from ancient times. It will change according to the depth of the internal force used. The deeper the internal force, the more transparent it will become. The lower the internal force, the darker it will be. So, if it falls into the hands of an ordinary person, it will be just an ordinary walnut-picking knife!" After saying that, Qi Tianchuan glared at Wang Zheng fiercely.
"Who are you talking about ordinary people? I'm a divine beast!"
"brute!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"The divine beast is a beast!"
Just as he was clamoring, Yinglong ran out of my ring, and he suddenly rushed to Qi Tianchuan and called twice.
It seemed that he heard Qi Tianchuan's words and came out to hold on to Wang Zheng.
Finally, Yinglong was persuaded to go back and then comforted the two great gods so that he could continue to go to Li Qiu's house.
Qi Tianchuan asked me to install a knife and said that when necessary, if I felt light and dizzy, I would use this dagger to draw a cross on the palm of my hand.
This is not a cross against a vampire or something. It is to avoid the person who operated behind the scenes being too strong and his head was lowered on me. Only in this way can the fate in my body be completely activated and can directly stimulate the master behind the scenes.
Along the way, there was no one there. Every household closed its doors and windows, and the fallen leaves were floating by the ground behind us, making a sound that made our scalp numb.
This place is like a village sweeping by the Japanese, with no life and full of killing.
I don’t know how long we walked, but we finally found Li Qiu’s home. His home still maintained the oldest sign, with the two big words “Li’s House” hanging on the door.
The black plaque has two big blood-red characters printed on it, which makes people feel gloomy before entering the door. A gap was revealed from the confinement gate. Through the gap, I saw the black hole inside, which gave me an illusion, as if someone was staring at me inside.
"It's this?"
After Wang Zheng asked Qi Tianchuan, he was recognized and walked forward and smashed the door three times.
Knock it first, then knock it twice in a row.
This is a rule. You can't knock on the door no matter where you are. It is a taboo in our industry. You will only keep smashing the door when you mourn the dead.
"Is anyone?" Wang Zheng's loud voice came out, which made me feel a headache.
Sometimes I really suspect that he has become a horn!
"Oh! Master Qi, you are here! Our Li Qiu..."
The person who came out to greet us was not Li Qiu, but an old man who seemed to be Li Qiu's father. Due to long-term work, he had a serious hunchback. Seeing him hunching his body and trying hard to talk to us, I felt a little sad.
"You are confused! I have told you a long time ago that you will not let you believe the fake Taoist priest. If you want to blame this time, you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself!" Qi Tianchuan pointed at the old man's nose and cursed.
This surprised me very much. After all, when we dealt with other cases last time, his attitude towards those people was basically very gentle, especially when dealing with older people, let alone scolding him, he didn't even speak loudly.
But this time...
The old man kept lowering his head and letting him scold him, and I was even more puzzled.
Could it be that Qi Tianchuan has any connection with the people in this village?!
"Brother Zheng, what's going on?" I asked, pulling Wang Zheng's sleeve.
"Ye! You don't know that before the young man met you, he dealt with a matter in this village. He happened to calculate that Li Qiu's family might have a disaster for a while, so he kindly reminded them, "Who knew they ignored him at all, and said that Qi Tianchuan was a charlatan, and he couldn't believe what he said!" Wang Zhe sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said, "This family is also doing it himself! If he doesn't believe Qi Tianchuan's words, he believes the words of a broken Taoist priest. He is cheated of marriage by a dead person! Even if Qi Tianchuan saved Li Qiu today, he will probably have nightmares in the future!"
I suddenly realized and instantly understood Qi Tianchuan's mood. Indeed, I was already very unhappy when I was misunderstood. Now something happened to me. If it were me, I wouldn't come!
As the saying goes, you won’t die if you don’t do it!
"I can help your son overcome this difficulty, but I have to take away your son's ten years of life!" Qi Tianchuan said with his eyes looking ahead.
There was no expression on his face, and what he said made Li Qiu's father stunned.
"What?! Ten years of life!"
Li Qiu's father stared at Qi Tianchuan with wide eyes, as if he didn't believe that this was said from Qi Tianchuan's mouth.
I wanted to come forward to persuade me, but Wang Zhe grabbed me and gave me a look.
