Chapter 31: Lock Seal (3)
Xuan Min moved her fingers and suddenly evaporated the monk's robe, then released the steamed Jiang Shining, then strode to the meteor and walked towards the river bank where the passenger boats gathered in front.
Xue Xian wrapped around his wrist, his thin tail fell unconsciously, revealing a little point from the cuff, shaking it. He arched under the sleeve, and finally poked out the half-finger-sized dragon head, and looked at Erqi with his head on his head.
Although this kid was particularly thin before, he seemed more energetic than Shinniao. He probably went out to run frequently. In addition, he had a stubborn temper and always looked strong. He was a tough-headed and naughty child.
But at this moment, every step he took seemed particularly difficult. His steps were light and floating, as if he could not help but lift his feet as soon as he touched the ground. It was uncomfortable to use a little more effort. It looked quite difficult...it seemed like he was enduring great pain.
After walking for only ten steps, his face turned pale as paper, and the wet river water on his forehead was blown dry, and another layer of cold sweat oozed out.
"You said you were in a bad state? What's going on?" Xue Xian saw that his face was extremely bad, and thought that this was not just caused by mourning, so he couldn't help asking.
Erqi's lips were white and bloodless. He seemed to have a serious illness and had not recovered. The pale the face, the more his eyes looked dark and dark, and he didn't look like a living person. His eyelashes shook, he stretched out his tongue to lick his lips that had begun to crack, and shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I don't understand very much, it's just... it's sore and painful in his bones. His feet hit the ground, and he can hurt from his toes to the top of his head. He dare not put too hard."
He replied softly, and before Xue Xian could speak again, he whispered: "If you bear it, you will pass... It's not as uncomfortable as death."
Jiang Shining glanced at him in a hurry and said, "It's not certain."
Lu Erqi suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Jiang Shining. Although he was actually older than he seemed, in Jiang Shining's eyes, he was still a half-aged child, and he spoke without any scruples. He suddenly asked Jiang Shining: "Are you a living person?"
In an instant, even Xue Xian, who was huddling in his cuffs, felt that Lu Erqi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
People with a temper like Jiang Shining would always say to Xue Xian, and they would not be able to see him as a child. He was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Well, I have been dead for three years, but my wish has not yet come true, so I have lived on a piece of paper for the time being."
When Lu Erqi heard this, he couldn't even walk smoothly. He used the wrong force to step on the ground, and screamed in pain, and another layer of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. However, he ignored it and stared at Jiang Shining and said, "Seriously? In this way, even if he dies, he may not disappear without a trace?"
Jiang Shining glanced at Xuan Min, then looked at Lu Erqi, and said in a vague way: "The soul of the living will still stay for a while. If the situation is special, it is not bad to stay for a while. What is the master?"
Xuan Min glanced at them, but did not speak, but she did not deny it. She only raised her hand and pointed to the front, indicating that it had arrived. There were many boatmen and fishermen gathered here, and there were many people, so it was not convenient to talk about these things.
Lu Erqi seemed to have all responded to him, and his face suddenly calmed down a lot.
On the bank of the river in front of them, seven or eight passenger boats and fishing boats were piled up, all tied to the shore. As for the people on the boat, they got off the boat one after another, and a few people worked together to drag something from a larger boat.
"Oh my God... when did these people fall into the water?" Someone twitched a few times, "Why are they soaked?"
"I have caught corpses on this river for so many years, and it is the first time I have encountered such a situation." That was the voice of the corpse-fishing man.
Since Lu Erqi cheated on his boat, the corpse fisherman has abandoned the remaining floating corpses and transported the three on the boat back to the river bank. He brought Lu Shijiu and Old Man Liu to the stone surface, and then he set up Lu Erqi on the riverside to settle down. He drank a few sips of hot wine to warm his cold body, and then he shook the boat to catch the remaining ones.
The fishermen resting by the river all took action after hearing the description of the corpse-fishing man.
Their boats were not convenient to carry dead people, after all, they had to carry fish and passengers, which was somewhat unlucky. So they helped the corpse-fishing man drag the floating corpse like broken cotton and put it on the shore, and arranged it into a row. At first glance, it was quite shocking.
Xuan Min frowned when she saw the row of floating corpses.
"I was scared just now." The corpse-snatcher had just arrived at the shore and was moving the last corpse to the shore. He said while moving it: "There were originally six floating, but I counted them, one next to Xiaozhu. As a result, when I just went to pick up the last two, another one floated up, which happened to float on the side of my boat. The taste was...it was simply!"
Xue Xian secretly scratched Xuan Min with his claws, and whispered in his sleeves: "Bald donkey, look at the corpse. The one I mentioned by the corpse fisherman should have been put on the river. These corpses are inseparable from the hundred men's pushing. Let's talk to you in detail, please pay attention to it for now and see if there is any strangeness on the corpse."
His voice sounded muffled, and others didn't hear it very clearly. Xuan Min listened seven or eight minutes, as if she was passing through the gap in her sleeves to her ears.
Xuan Min frowned slightly, turned her face to the side, and said "um", then quietly flicked the evil tail tip with her fingers hidden under her sleeve, indicating that he should not move around in front of others and be more at peace.
As a result, the evil man bit his finger hard.
Xuan Min said lightly: "Let go."
Jiang Shining and Lu Erqi were stunned at the same time: "Why let go?"
Xuan Min's expression had not changed, and she still looked at the floating corpses who had been caught ashore with expressionless expression. Her eyes swept over her, and from her ankles that were so rotten that she could see her bones, she had a kind of outrageous temperament compared to those on the shore who covered her nose and wrinkled faces.
Maybe this temperament is too intimidating. After Jiang Shining didn't get an answer, he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just pretended that his tinnitus had been heard and turned his head silently.
Xue Xian, who was bounced with his tail tip, held Xuan Min's finger in his mouth and bit him hard for a long time before he finally let go of his anger.
What Xue Xian guessed was pretty good. Although these seven floating corpses were not too weird, there was something hanging around their waists. Taking advantage of the group of fishermen and boatmen's vomiting, breathable and breathable, Xuan Min quietly took off all the things on their waists through their fingers through white linen.
There are seven rows of military iron plates with names.
From this glance, you can tell that these people are the same group as those who are fighting under the tomb.
Seeing that he wrapped these iron cards with linen and put them away, Xue Xian said, "By the way, the iron cards buried in the bottom of the river are still there, but they are not very complete. Let's take a closer look."
As he said this, Xuan Min had already walked to Lu Shijiu's body.
Erqi was kneeling there, raising his hand and groping in vainly, as if he wanted to touch Zijiu, but he didn't dare to be alarmed. He seemed to be afraid that when he moved, Zijiu would be dead.
"Look--" Erqi raised his head, his eyes falling on Xuan Min, but he was inexplicably empty, becoming more and more like a... blind man.
"I can feel him here, I can touch him, but I can't see him." Twenty-seven said, "I can see you, and the people on this shore, although they can't see clearly and can't tell their facial features, they can always see them. But they can't see nineteen."
Xuan Min glanced at the 19th who was lying on the river stone with her eyes closed, then stared at the 27-deep dark eyes for a moment, and said, "What you call 'look' is not 'look' with your eyesight. Your eyes are already covered, but you have never discovered it."
"What do you mean?" Erqi's voice tightened.
Xue Xian secretly exposed his head from under his sleeve, stared at Erqi's eyes and said, "No wonder, I said why did I drown the back water and my eyes were gone."
He thought for a while and said to Erqi: "Lu Shijiu has changed his life with you, and I am afraid that the spirit writing will fall on you together. Most of the changes in your body are related to this, but it has not changed completely yet, so he has to suffer some flesh and blood."
Lu Erqi was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "You mean...you mean, my eyes will become the same as nineteen?"
"No, I'm afraid it's already half changed." Xue Xian said, "The things in your eyes may not be their own outlines, but their energy. Everything you see in your eyes is probably what Lu Shijiu sees on weekdays."
"Then I can't see the 19th, because..." Erqi's nose wings moved, as if he was suddenly unable to breathe, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He frowned, and his circles turned red in the blink of an eye, "Why?"
Xuan Min raised her hand and pressed the life palace on his forehead with her thumb, "You have a red mole growing here, and your brother has also grown one exactly the same. This is a mark of life exchange. If his soul lingers in the world and doesn't leave for a long time, this mole will not appear."
The act of changing lives is actually a forbidden technique. Even if the life is successful, the survivor will most likely become a little weird. It is just because it will inherit the destiny, or it will look more and more similar, or its ability to endure and temperament is becoming more and more vague. The longer the soul of the destiny remains in the world, the deeper the impact on the survivor.
In other words, in order not to have too much impact on Lu Erqi, Lu Shijiu never stayed for a moment. The words he left for Erqi in the tomb were the real parting words.
But this parting will probably be a future forever.
"Don't cry." Jiang Shining couldn't find any veil, so he used his finger to pick up the water droplets that were rolling silently from his eyes, "Maybe..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Erqi had lost consciousness without any blood.
Perhaps it was because of the unbearable pain in the flesh, or perhaps it was because of bad news that he had fainted for a long time.
No matter how cold Xuan Min is and how stupid Xue Xian is, he can't do anything to leave the two half-year-old young men who die and die, and that's not a big thing. So they temporarily lived in the small courtyard where Lu Erqi and Lu Shijiu depend on each other.
This courtyard is really a scattered house, with a kitchen and a gray small hall. There is only a four-immortal table in the hall, and there is a side room on each side, which is only enough to put the bed and wooden cabinets. The two brothers are about one room for each person.
It was said that he was staying there, but in fact, the only one who really "lives" was Lu Erqi who fainted. Xuan Min and the others placed him in one of the rooms, and then went to the funeral shop on the street to book a coffin. Lu Shijiu slept in the coffin and put it in another room for the time being.
Just as Xuan Min sat down in the hall and was planning to think about the stone lock and iron plate, Xue Xian leaned out from his cuffs quietly: "Don't be busy sitting, find a garment store, and the cloth store will be done."
Xuan Min looked down at him and waited for him to explain the reason.
Xue Xian scratched the dragon head with his claws, and said in a stern voice in a majestic tone: "No clothes are worn."
Xuan Min: "…"
He seemed quite speechless, his eyes swept over the little dragon's body, and he whispered back intact, "Which book teaches you to wrap your wrists naked?"
Xue Xian opened his mouth and bit him.
The evil tooth is very sharp, and it is a mark when you bite it.
Xuan Min lifted her sleeves lightly, revealing her thin and slender fingers, slightly bent her two fingers in front of Xue Xian.
I saw at least six tooth marks on those two fingers, all of which were bitten by this evil man.
Xue Xian turned his head and refused to admit it, pretending to be deaf and dumb, "Don't show off your hand, it's not as beautiful as chicken claws, it's very painful. It's not very useful, and it feels uncomfortable to wrap it up. I'll drive my legs and get me some clothes."
As soon as Jiang Shining entered the house, he heard this evil man tantrum. He couldn't bear to see it, so he turned his head and retreated back to the corner of the kitchen that was invisible.
Xuan Min shook her head, got up and went out.
