In the past half month, Yu Luo had been out hunting and collecting herbs every day. Xiao Xingyue and Xiao XingChen's injuries were almost fully recovered. Occasionally, Yu Luo would teach Xiao XingChen some small spells, as well as the usage of spiritual talismans, as well as how to feel the circulation of spiritual energy in his body. After he understood the circulation of spiritual energy, he would use his own secret technique to start forming his core, as well as how to distinguish between a living corpse and a walking corpse. That's right, in order to prevent Xiao XingChen from mistakenly killing civilians and Daoist Priest Song in the future, Liyuluo had trained Xiao XingChen to blindfold his eyes. Liyuluo had told him that the difference between living corpses and walking corpses was in temperature. When one's eyes couldn't see, they could see things through hearing, taste, touch, smell, and the sixth sense. The so-called sixth sense was premonition, which was also the human's mind. When one's sight, taste, hearing, and smell were disturbed, they could understand things through touch. Of course, the most important thing was to use the mind. The Heart's Eye could improve its ability through training. When the Heart's Eye reached a certain level, it could read things that people usually could not see, which was the so-called " mind reading."
The difference between living corpses and walking corpses was that living corpses had thoughts and souls while walking corpses only had resentment. The reason why walking corpses were called walking corpses was that someone had refined the resentment of corpses into a kind of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was like invisible strings that wrapped around the corpses. The corpses were controlled by these "strings" so as to make them move. Like puppets on the street, they were manipulated by others. After death, people would not feel anything. Therefore, walking corpses were not afraid of pain. The only way was to make it lose its ability to move, such as cutting off its limbs. This was the simplest and crudest method. The other way was to find the person who controlled the corpse's movements, destroy its spiritual control, cut off the thread of resentment, and then make them return to their corpse state. This was a one-time solution, but it was usually difficult to find the person who cast the spell immediately. Usually, the person who cast the spell would hide in the dark and it was difficult to find. There was also a moderate method, which was to use a talisman to disperse the resentment. If it was really a corpse, The talisman would burn the corpse into ashes. If the talisman only burned and the corpse did not turn into ashes, it meant that it was a living corpse. The talisman dispelled the resentment and corpse qi, which meant that it was a living person, thus achieving the purpose of saving people.
Xiao XingChen nodded his head, seemingly understanding something,"Are there any bad people in this world who use resentment to control them? From what I know, people should be buried in peace after they die. Using a person's corpse to do bad things is a blasphemy to the dead. If I meet such a person, I will do my best to kill him. Moreover, turning a living person into a living corpse is simply unacceptable!”
Li Yuluo didn't say anything and thought to himself,'You'll meet him in the future.'
"In case you encounter such a situation in the future, I'll teach you how to draw this kind of talisman from today on. Don't lend this kind of talisman to outsiders. Some treasures can't be snatched even if you want to. That's spiritual wealth.”After Li Yuluo finished speaking, he began to draw the talisman. He dripped his blood into the cinnabar that contained the peach wood juice and circulated his spiritual energy to draw the word "Yin". With a flash of golden light, Li Yuluo retrieved the talisman and handed it to Xiao XingChen. Xiao XingChen touched the talisman in his hand and felt a powerful demon-breaking power. The demon-breaking power contained a purifying power that could purify all evil!
Xiao XingChen stared at Li Yuluo with starry eyes."Brother Luo, you're amazing!" Then, he looked at the charm as if he was looking at a treasure.
Li Yuluo shook his head and said," This kind of talisman can only resist ordinary walking corpses. Fierce corpses can only resist for a period of time. As for high-level Fierce Corpses, this kind of talisman can only scratch their itch. Remember, people have to learn to be flexible. When you encounter powerful people, if you can't beat them, you have to temporarily avoid them. If you can't beat them, run. It's not about bravery. The truth is to survive."”After saying that, he looked at Xiao XingChen drawing talismans. Xiao XingChen continued to draw talismans obediently. After half a month, he finally drew this talisman. Although his spiritual energy wasn't as strong as Li Yuluo's, it was already very good to be able to heal ordinary walking corpses.
Li Yuluo also taught Xiao XingChen how to make some medicines, such as medicines to prevent corpse poison, spirit replenishing pills, and medicines to treat external injuries. She taught him one type every day and there were regular exams. Fortunately, Xiao XingChen's learning ability was not bad. He needed to understand more about the ways of the world. If he stayed on the mountain, he would definitely be a little white flower in the future! After entering the mortal world, one just had to keep one's heart. There was no such thing as entering the mortal world and bringing back the mortal world. After experiencing the mortal world, one would grow better, right?
However, the good times did not last long. On this day, when they were hunting on Feather Fall Mountain, they suddenly saw someone setting off fireworks in the distance. Looking at the pattern of the fireworks, it was the unique signal of the Wen clan of Mount Qi. Gather people!
Li Yuluo cursed in his heart and hurriedly rushed back to the cave to inform Xiao Xingyue and Xiao XingChen to pack up and leave this place!
"Young Master! There are traces of activity nearby. Look!”Each of them pointed at a tree. The tree had traces of sword qi.
"It should be nearby. Use the spirit dog to sniff around." He had to find them, dead or alive!”
That person took out Xiao XingChen and Xiao Xingyue's items and gave them to the spirit dog to sniff. After the spirit dog sniffed, it ran towards Li Yuluo and the others 'cave. Immediately, the cave was filled with disciples of the Wen clan. They pulled their bows and readied themselves. Li Yuluo secretly cried out,' Oh no! I'll definitely become a porcupine if I go out now. It's impossible to go out. What should I do?'
Li Yuluo had scattered lethal poison all over the place, and anyone who touched it would die. Immortal cultivators were no exception. Of course, there were some who were not afraid of death and requested Wen Mao to capture Xiao Xingyue and Xiao Xingchen. They led the spirit dog into the cave and immediately, that person let out a miserable cry. The wails and whimpers of the spirit dog could be heard from the cave, but it was silent. The people outside wanted to check on the situation inside, but they also let out miserable cries when they entered the cave.
Some of the timid Wen Clan disciples shouted,""This cave eats people! It's so terrifying!" Immediately, the group of people cowered, not daring to take the initiative to volunteer.
For a time, the Wen family disciples began to weaken and did not dare to act rashly.
"A bunch of trash!" Wen Xu shouted. There was clearly someone causing trouble. If someone messed up, kill without mercy!”The disciples of the Wen Clan immediately fell silent out of fear.
"Young Master is wise!" One of the disciples flattered. But what should we do now?"
"Set fire! Surround this mountain and force them out!”
Instantly, the cave was filled with the smell of smoke. Li Yuluo took out a cloth strip and had the siblings cover their noses and mouths. She circulated her spiritual energy to form a protective barrier. The protective barrier could only last for two hours. If it lasted longer, everyone would die from the poison smoke. Xiao XingChen had already started coughing, and Xiao Xingyue could not take it anymore. In a moment of desperation, Li Yuluo saw the smoke drifting towards the depths of the cave. A faint breeze came from the cave, which meant that there was another exit to the cave! However, even if they escaped from the cave, they would soon realize that the person in the cave was gone. For now, they had to find the exit first and then seal the entrance in front of them. Only by prolonging their search time would Li Yuluo and the others have more chances of survival.
Li Yuluo signaled for Xiao Xingyue and Xiao Xingchen to walk deeper into the cave to find a way out. If they found a way out, they would light the fireworks that Li Yuluo had given them. Li Yuluo, on the other hand, guarded against the Wen family from Mount Qi from entering the cave. He also softened the rocks at the entrance of the cave. Li Yuluo walked to the entrance of the cave and sprinkled some medicine that softened the rocks. As he looked into the cave, he paid attention to the Wen family from Mount Qi. About an hour later, the cave flashed. Li Yuluo made a prompt decision and took out his spiritual sword to slash at the rocks. The cave began to shake, and the rocks kept rolling down. Li Yuluo quickly ran into the depths of the cave and met up with Xiao Xingchen and Xiao Xingyue. This move was too risky, and there were a few times when Li Yuluo was almost hit by the falling rocks, causing him to suffer some light injuries. Fortunately, he was safe.
Wen Xu and the others lit up the poisonous smoke outside the cave and waited quietly for Li Yuluo and the others to rush out of the cave. They immediately got the archers to prepare. Unexpectedly, after an hour, the cave began to collapse. Dense rocks covered the entrance of the cave and sealed it tightly. The Wen family's disciples were puzzled by this suicidal method. Wen Xu frowned as if he had figured out the crux of the matter. He immediately organized his men to split up and a portion of them dug the cave open. The others followed him to find another exit of the cave.
Li Yuluo followed Xiao Xingyue and the others to a place. Xiao Xingyue said,""The rock wall here is very thin. There's a slight wind blowing from somewhere.”Xiao Xingyue pointed to the stone wall in the east. Li Yuluo touched the wall. There was indeed a breeze, but the stone wall was made of tungsten ore. It was difficult for them to open it now.
Li Yuluo tried many times, but only a shallow sword mark was left on the wall. Xiao Xingyue said helplessly,""Are we going to be trapped here until we die?”
"It's all my fault for causing you to fall to such a state!”Li Yuluo smashed the wall regretfully. His fists bled, and the blood slowly seeped into the soil.
After a cup of tea's time, Li Yuluo was tired. He carefully thought about his current situation. If he had gone out at that time, he would have been shot into a porcupine, and the chances of survival were almost zero. The enemy was outnumbered, but now that they had returned to the cave and sealed the entrance, it could at most buy them some time. At least, they could live a little longer. Moreover, there was air in the cave, so they would not suffocate. Right now, they could only rest well and conserve their strength. He thought to himself,"It's good that someone will come and save us!"
"Sis, did you notice that the number of bugs in the cave has increased?" Xiao XingChen asked in the darkness.”
Xiao Xingyue looked around and replied,"Indeed."”
Li Yuluo opened his eyes and took a closer look. The number of bugs around them had increased. Some places were pitch black, and the three of them had goosebumps all over the ground. The three of them had no choice but to form a circle and observe the bugs. At first, the bugs slowly gathered together, but they all surged towards the crack. In a short while, the crack at the entrance of the cave began to widen, revealing a faint light!
Li Yuluo immediately understood. These bugs were digging holes. Li Yuluo thought about why these bugs were like this. It was probably because of his blood! It turned out that his blood had such a use! Li Yuluo immediately figured out what was going on. He immediately used his dagger to cut a bloody wound on his hand. The blood still seeped into the soil, but this time, the amount of blood was much higher. The three of them could feel the squirming under their feet. It seemed to be a big thing! Li Yuluo thought to himself, Please help us open the stone wall!
With a rumble, something emerged from the ground. The three of them identified it as a large earthworm. The earthworm crawled through the crevice that the swarm of insects had just crawled through. The cave began to shake again, and the rocks began to collapse. Water flowed out from the crevice, and there were even fish in the water. It seemed that the large earthworm had dug a hole that led to the lake outside. Li Yuluo told Xiao Xingyue and Xiao Xingyue,"When we can pass through the crack, remember to hold your breath. We're going to rush out along the current!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of water flowed out of the crack. It was connected!
Li Yuluo led the way, doing his best to advance forward. Xiao Xingyue and Xiao XingChen followed closely behind until they were out of the water. Fresh air rushed into their lungs as they floated downstream along the river. The speed of the water was very fast, sending them far away. Li Yuluo and the others grabbed each other tightly and went downstream to the shore. The three of them laughed loudly as if they had been reborn from a disaster.
After the three of them reorganized themselves, Li Yuluo analyzed,""We followed the current downstream, and the smell on our bodies had long been washed away. Their spirit dogs won't be able to find us for a while, and they're probably looking for us in the wilderness now.”
Li Yuluo suggested," I'll go to the nearby towns to take a look first. It's hard to guarantee that they're hunting us. The Wen family of Qishan didn't meet me, so they shouldn't know of my existence. I'll go buy some items. Wait for me here!"”
Li Yuluo arrived at a nearby town. When he heard that it was a coincidence, he took a detour and returned to Yueyang. When he passed by the Chang family, he took two sets of clothes from the servants. He also found out that the Wen family of Qishan did not want Xiao Xingyue and Xiao Xingchen here, so they were relatively safe for the time being. However, it was not appropriate to stay here for long. He had to think of a plan to leave this place.
Li Yuluo dressed himself up as a young master of a noble family who was traveling outside. Xiao Xingyue and her brother dressed up as attendants and went to the inn to stay.
Staying in an inn was originally a very risky thing to do, but it was the place where they gathered the most information. Li Yuluo found out that the Wen family of Qishan had searched for Xiao Xingyue and Xiao Xingyue in the barren mountain to no avail. Most people thought that the two of them were dead, but Wen Xu insisted on finding more people to search the mountain. Such a waste of manpower and material resources was known by the head of the Wen family of Qishan, Wen Ruohan. He sent a letter to scold Wen Xu for wasting time to catch these two fish that had escaped the net and asked him to return to the headquarters of the Wen family of Qishan as soon as possible. Thus, they went back in a grandiose manner.
Only then did Li Yuluo let out a long sigh of relief. He could rest assured and boldly stay in the inn to strengthen Xiao Xingyue's body. At first, Xiao XingChen could still stay in the inn, but after two days, he actually ran out to play. Every time he went out, he would bring a plate of desserts. When he returned, he would bring back some desserts.
Xiao XingChen brought along some sweets or snacks that he didn't know where they came from. After asking around, he found out that Xiao XingChen had started to play with the street children nearby. It was always easy to build friendships between boys. Xiao XingChen distributed his snacks to these street children, and the street children would return the favor. They would often run errands for the young masters of the town to deliver letters, and occasionally mix some delicious snacks for Xiao XingChen. As a result, Xiao XingChen made many friends.
The street urchins discovered that no matter how delicious the desserts they gave Xiao XingChen were, they couldn't compare to the desserts that Xiao XingChen gave them. The street urchins discussed for an entire night and unanimously agreed that only the Chang family's desserts in Yueyang could compare to Xiao XingChen's. Only then would they be worthy of making friends with Xiao XingChen. The street urchins continued to talk about this and that, and some of them silently took this matter to heart.
The next day, Chang Ci 'an always found a street kid following him, always pestering him for snacks. He was very annoyed and wanted to teach him a lesson and play with him. He sat in the inn and saw a street kid staring at his plate of snacks from afar. He called him forward and told him to send a letter. The street kid happily agreed to send him a letter. He knocked on the door of the messenger and handed the letter over. The person who opened the door was a burly man. The burly man glanced at it briefly and was instantly furious. He caught the street urchin and beat him up. He then asked who the person who asked him to deliver the letter was. The street urchin pointed at Chang Ci 'an. The burly man rushed to the inn and beat Chang Ci' an up. Chang Ci 'an did not expect this to happen. He was beaten up instead of fooling around. This was the street urchin who had come to ask for desserts. Chang Ci' an was furious and beat the street urchin up again. The street urchin did not give up and chased after Chang Ci 'an's ox cart to ask for desserts. Chang Ci 'an whipped the child's head, causing him to fall to the ground. The ox cart's wheels ran over his hands, and he screamed and fainted. Chang Ci 'an was still not satisfied. He wanted to repeatedly crush the homeless child's hand, but he was stopped by someone.
The person who came was Xiao XingChen. Today, Xiao XingChen was about to leave with some snacks. Suddenly, a street urchin rushed into the inn like a madman and grabbed Xiao XingChen's hand,"Please save Ah Yang!" It turned out that this street urchin had seen Ah Yang asking Chang Ci 'an for snacks and was beaten up badly, so he had asked Xiao XingChen for help. He didn't expect Xiao XingChen to come over and see such a tragic scene, so he immediately stopped Chang Ci' an. Chang Ci 'an saw that Xiao XingChen was wearing ordinary clothes and said,"This little hooligan has bad intentions. He doesn't know what's good for him. He asked me for snacks. Bah, lowly thing. He toyed with him and caused me to be like this. Even if he was beaten to death, he deserved to die. You have to consider the consequences. Hmph, let's go and find a doctor to take a look at me. Just you wait!”Due to the people on the street pointing at him, he took out a penny and threw it into the stinking ditch."Take the money and treat him. Go and pick it up, you cheap bastard!”
Xiao XingChen's eyes turned red. He clenched his fists and pounced towards Ah Yang. After checking on his injuries, he immediately carried him up. Ah Yang mumbled in a daze, Xiao XingChen cried silently as he ran towards the inn. Before he reached the inn, he shouted in a hoarse voice,"Brother Luo, please save him!”
Li Yuluo looked at the person in Xiao XingChen's arms. It was a street kid who looked very skinny. His pale and childish face was leaning against Xiao XingChen's chest. One of his hands was badly mutilated and his body was covered in bruises. He was on the verge of death and his words were unclear. Li Yuluo immediately bandaged one of his hands and applied medicine to check his injuries. She asked Xiao XingChen,"Who is he?"
"He's called Ah Yang, Xue Yang. He became like this because of me." Brother Luo, please cure him!”
Li Yuluo's bandaged hand paused." Xue Yang? Are you sure?" She was shocked and kept silent for a while." I don't want to save this person. If I save him, you will definitely regret it in the future!”After saying that, he stopped.
Xiao XingChen didn't expect Li Yuluo to have such a reaction. He immediately knelt down,"Brother Luo, please take it as me begging you. I don't know why you're saying this, but if I don't save him today, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!”After saying that, he kowtowed to Li Yuluo with tears flowing down his face.
Li Yuluo had no choice but to treat his hand properly. Li Yuluo realized that Xue Yang's finger bones were all shattered and broken. For a seven-year-old child, it would leave an eternal mark on him. No wonder Xue Yang wanted to destroy the entire Chang family in the novel. The pain of ten fingers connected to one's heart was so painful that anyone with a normal mind would be mentally distorted.
It seemed that in order to treat his hand, he needed to insert steel needles into his fingers instead of crushing the bones in his hand. Furthermore, the steel needles had to be made of special materials that would change with Xue Yang's age so as not to affect the flexibility of his fingers. Fortunately, Xue Yang was lucky that Li Yuluo happened to have this material. In addition, there was also the Regeneration Flower that could revive the flesh and bones of the dead. Li Yuluo dared to guarantee that Xue Yang's hand would be intact!
However, it was also an unbearable pain to have a needle inserted into one's finger. Li Yuluo could only give Xue Yang general anesthesia and let Xiao XingChen hug him. He held Xue Yang's hand tightly to ensure that the needle would not leak out. The surgery went on for six hours before it finally ended. Xiao XingChen carefully placed Xue Yang on the bed and tucked him in, accompanying him.
