Yaxi's wife cooked a series of Xinjiang specialties such as hand-caught mutton, hand-caught rice, and roasted lamb loin, and set up a large table. All in all, the food was very sumptuous.
After dinner, Yaxi arranged a room for Zhang Fan to rest. Zhang Fan took out his mobile phone and directly dialed the number of Lao Qi, the man who gave him the golden nanmu coffin. Logically speaking, as the Yin soldier and ghost in the Yang world,
Poor Lao Qitou should know something about the plants growing in the underworld.
Zhang Fan had called Lao Qitou before. He didn't know what the old guy was busy with. It was usually difficult to get through. However, Zhang Fan was not disappointed this time. The call was quickly connected, and Lao Qi came from the phone.
The old man said in a strong voice, "Hey, Xiaofan..."
"Old man, how are you doing lately?"
Zhang Fan asked.
"Good."
Lao Qitou smiled and said, "How are you doing there?
Why did you remember to call me?
Miss me?"
"Well, I miss you."
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "At the same time, there is something I want to ask you."
"What would it be like for them not to be assimilated into the earthly environment?"
Zhang Fan first confirmed his guess with Lao Qitou.
"The appearance looks no different from the flower of hell that has been assimilated by the Yang world environment, except that there is a lot of soul energy and Yin energy overflowing from it. However, it cannot be exposed to the sun. If exposed to the sun, it will not last for more than a minute.
It withered and then turned into ashes all over the sky."
Lao Qitou explained to Zhang Fan, "What?
Xiaofan, have you encountered this kind of flower?"
Zhang Fan frowned, and then said truthfully: "The flowers I encountered also have a lot of soul energy and yin energy overflowing on them, but when these flowers are exposed to the sun, they don't wilt or fade like you said.
For ashes.”
"oh?"
A voice of surprise came from Lao Qitou's mouth, "Is there such a thing?"
After Lao Qitou pondered for a while, he asked: "Xiaofan, where are you now?"
"I'm in a place called Amu Village in Xinjiang."
Zhang Fan replied.
"What a coincidence, I am also in the Xinjiang region."
Lao Qitou said with some surprise, "Send me the location and I'll take a look."
Zhang Fan immediately sent the location to Lao Qitou, and soon, Lao Qitou's somewhat excited voice came from the receiver again, "The distance between us is not far, only about 150 kilometers. I will go over immediately and see
See what’s going on.”
"Wouldn't I delay your business?"
Zhang Fan asked.
"No delay, I just caught three ghosts here and call it a day."
Lao Qi said, "Just wait for me."
"good."
Zhang Fan responded.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan walked out of the room, found Yaxi, and told Yaxi that he had a friend who would come to help. Yaxi expressed his welcome and even asked enthusiastically if Zhang Fan's friend had eaten.
Don't need to prepare some food?
Zhang Fan asked Yaxi to prepare some food. Lao Qitou said that he had just finished catching ghosts and had probably not eaten.
About two hours later, the door of Yaxi's house was pushed open. Zhang Fan stood up and looked out through the window. The person who came was none other than Lao Qitou.
However, at this time, Lao Qitou had messy hair, somewhat ragged clothes, and a large amount of blood on his chest, looking very embarrassed.
Zhang Fan stood up and walked out quickly, "Old man, are you a bit miserable?"
Lao Qitou chuckled and said: "To catch ghosts! You have to look like you are catching ghosts."
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Zhang Fan smiled and asked.
"No, is there food at this house?"
"Yes, it's ready for you."
"Well, very good."
Lao Qitou responded with a smile and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
After entering the door, Lao Qitou stared straight at the mutton and rice on the table, swallowing his saliva. If he hadn't been out of politeness and wanted to say hello to Yaxi and the others, he would have rushed up to eat.
Finally, the pleasantries were over, and Yaxi, who was also very eye-catching, returned to their room with his wife.
Lao Qitou immediately wolfed down the food, and it tasted delicious.
"How come it's like being reincarnated as a hungry ghost?"
Zhang Fan asked.
"In order to catch those three evil ghosts, I haven't eaten much for three days. I'm really hungry. Xiaofan, please let me eat for a while and take it slow. Let's talk later."
Zhang Fan looked at Lao Qitou and gave a bitter smile, and did not disturb Lao Qitou's meal any more. After Lao Qitou probably ate a pound of meat and a pound of rice, his speed slowed down, but he was still eating.
"Where are those flowers you told me about?"
Lao Qitou asked while eating.
"It's in another courtyard. After dinner, I'll take you there."
Zhang Fan replied.
"OK."
Lao Qi nodded in response.
"Have you not completed the task assigned to you by Hei Wuchang?"
Zhang Fan asked casually.
Lao Qitou gave a bitter smile and said helplessly: "It was completed a month ago. He said that he could not fulfill the promise he made to me because the ghosts I caught did not accumulate enough merit to lift my daughter from the eighteenth floor.
Rescue them from hell and send them to reincarnation and reincarnation.
However, he has already helped relieve the pain of my daughter's soul, and then assigned me a new ghost-catching task, saying that after completing it, he would continue to relieve my daughter's pain until the merits are complete, and then let my daughter be reincarnated."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan frowned tightly and said aggrievedly: "As an official in the underworld, he doesn't know what merits go with what rewards?
Since I don’t have enough merit, why did I promise you in the first place?”
Lao Qitou smiled bitterly again, "Why don't I understand what you are saying?
But the initiative is in other people's hands, and I want to save my daughter, but there is nothing I can do."
Zhang Fan did not continue on this topic and said: "I see that your strength has improved quite a lot during this period, and your Taoism has reached the fourth level of the second realm."
"I don't know why, but a year ago, I suddenly had an epiphany one day, and then my cultivation speed increased."
Lao Qitou said.
"That's a good thing."
Zhang Fan was happy for Lao Qitou, and then took the pulse of Lao Qitou's body and soul at the same time, "I will check your body."
Three minutes later, Zhang Fan withdrew his hand thoughtfully. Seeing the change in Zhang Fan's expression, Lao Qi asked: "Xiao Fan, what's wrong?
Is there something wrong with my body?"
"There is nothing wrong with your body. You are quite healthy. It's just that you have been a little overworked recently. However, there is something wrong with your soul."
Zhang Fan replied, "It can't be said that there is something wrong with your soul. It's just that your soul is different from ordinary people's souls."
