These words made Ding Ge so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Xu Luo with eyes full of resentment and indignation, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.
Xu Luoke didn't have time to play the staring game with him. Seeing that he didn't make any move for a moment, his eyes gradually became dangerous.
A flash of scarlet quickly spread in his pupils, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly solidified.
Seeing that the two of them were about to have another fierce fight, Li Zuo, a skilled craftsman, couldn't tell that Ding Ge was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. Don't even think about it, he definitely couldn't beat him!
He could only smile helplessly.
"Master Ding, why don't you let me have a chat with Captain Xu? The old man would like to see what other methods he can use against a dying person?"
Ding Ge stared at Xu Luo hatefully, and immediately turned around and walked out of the yard as if he was bearing the humiliation and not being as knowledgeable as a young man who didn't have martial ethics.
Xu Luo sneered silently from behind and returned his gaze to Li Zuojiang, who looked calm.
"Old man, I respect your contribution to the Royal Military Division and even to Dayan as a whole, but that doesn't mean you can collude with the monsters unscrupulously, even if the monster is involved with your daughter.
Believe me, for a cultivator, if you want a way to make life worse than death, it doesn't take much.
Moreover, I have countless ways to prevent this monster that you value so much from reincarnation!
Do you believe it?"
Xu Luo's tone was not passionate and high-pitched, just like a grandfather and grandson chatting about everyday things.
But when Li Zuojiang heard this, his whole body began to feel chilly from the bottom of his heart.
He has lived for such a long time, but he has never seen anyone who can talk like this. They are either confident or lying. But no matter how Xu Luo looks at it, it seems to be the first type.
He stared at Xu Luo with an extremely spiteful expression, but after a while, he saw that Xu Luo didn't even bother to move his eyebrows, and he sighed helplessly.
"Tell the old man first, is Nini completely dead?"
A strange monster actually has a name?
Xu Luo just shook his head, and then looked at Li Zuojiang without saying a word. It was obvious that the old man would not hear another word from him until he solved the doubts in his mind.
Li Zuojiang was finally convinced by Xu Luo's caution. While breathing heavily, he told Xu Luo a story.
The first half of the story is somewhat specious to what Old Man Pang told Xu Luo, but it's basically the same.
At that time, Li Zuojiang did not regard his only daughter named Nini as a treasure, but cherished her life.
That guy, that is, he couldn't pick the moon in the sky. Of course, he didn't dare to pick the scarlet full moon, otherwise Nini would use the stars as marbles to play with.
But God did not follow people's wishes, and Nini died in the strange tide by accident.
For the next several years, Li Zuojiang never relaxed.
If it weren't for his skill of sticking runes and mounting them, no one had learned it yet, and he probably wouldn't have been able to survive the most painful days of those few years.
But at his most desperate moment, a turning point appeared.
As a paper framer, Li Zuojiang was naturally particularly interested in all kinds of paper. By chance, he got an extremely weird white scrap of paper.
Burning, flooding, cutting...
No matter what method he used, he couldn't destroy the remaining paper, and he couldn't even wipe away the dirty ink stains that were vaguely visible on it.
Li Zuojiang became interested at this moment. The first thing he thought of was, if the scraps of paper could be recovered and made into armor for use by his colleagues in the Imperial Military Department, how many lives would be saved?
But in the next few years, this soft remnant of paper was like a piece of copper peas that no oil or salt could enter, no matter what he did, there was no response at all.
Until one time, Li Zuojiang accidentally discovered that no matter what he drew on the scrap paper, the pattern seemed to have a special spirituality and lifelike quality, as if it could come alive from the scrap paper in the next moment.
Li Zuojiang immediately thought of the misfortune of Nini, and he painstakingly painted his daughter's voice and smile on the scrap of paper.
In order to deceive others, he used his own unique mounting technique to stick the remaining paper on an umbrella, and then something strange happened.
Every time he opens his umbrella and puts it next to him, Li Zuojiang will feel his mind clarifying and his thoughts spring up. This is why Hundreds of Papers appear.
After such a strange thing happened, Li Zuojiang felt that this treasure was God's compensation for him. He hid this umbrella beside him and wanted to be inseparable.
Whenever he has free time, he will tell Umbrella all his worries, joys, sorrows and joys.
As time passes year by year, Nini's portrait becomes more and more lifelike and vivid.
Li Zuojiang didn't know how many times, with his tearful eyes, he mistakenly thought that his Nini had come back to life!
But if you take a closer look, you will find that all this is his illusion.
Until one late night with heavy rain, Li Zuojiang, who had not had a dream for a long time, suddenly had a sweet dream.
In the dream, his most beloved Nini finally came to life, wrapping around his knees just like she did when he was a child. Her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, making Li Zuojiang drunk.
After another trance, he immediately woke up.
Li Zuojiang immediately opened the umbrella placed on the bedside, but the image on the umbrella was still smiling and graceful, but it failed to wipe away his sweat and tears like in his dream...
Hearing this, Xu Luo's heart moved and he interrupted him hastily.
"Do you still remember the approximate date of the dream?"
Li Zuojiang was inexplicably angry when he was interrupted, but then he thought of his current situation again, and his anger suddenly disappeared.
"About a few months ago! I can't remember exactly."
No wonder!
At that time, the strange monster on Shiquan Street had just appeared on a rainy night, but it did not attract anyone's attention.
Xu Luo could roughly guess what happened next.
The resurrection of his beloved daughter in Li Zuojiang's mind is nothing more than a strange thing catalyzed by his obsession and catalyzed by the mysterious scraps of paper.
If things continue like this, it's really possible for this weird thing to restore Nini's consciousness.
It's just a weirdo who wants to get that far. No one knows how much energy and blood obsession it takes, or it's possible if there is enough sinister aura.
But no matter which one, if there is no incredible chance, the time must be calculated in units of ten years.
No matter how hard Li Zuojiang tried, he could not see his long-dead daughter!
But where did the original scrap of paper come from?
This is what Xu Luo is most concerned about, because he suspects that if nothing else happens, the white piece of paper may be the missing part of the E-shaped lantern!
This was the main reason why he was so concerned about this weird thing.
After saying so many words, Li Zuojiang has exhausted his only remaining hope.
The cheeks that had just had a hint of rosiness suddenly turned pale, and the look in his eyes quickly dimmed. But even so, his eyes were still staring at the umbrella.
In other words, since Xu Luo took out the umbrella, his eyes have never left her. Maybe he also knows that as long as he looks away, it will really be the last time in his life!
He couldn't bear it!
No matter whether this umbrella is weird or anything else, in Li Zuojiang's heart, it is Nini who has been with him day and night for decades, and can even be said to be his lifelong support!
As for the truth, does it really matter?
Xu Luo looked at his eyes that gradually turned deathly gray, but still stopped asking questions.
There are some things where you still have many opportunities to find out the truth.
But in the eyes of this old man, how the residual paper appeared and how Nini came to life are all unimportant. Before he closed his eyes, he believed that his daughter was still alive in this umbrella. That was more important than anything else!
Huh, huh...
Li Zuojiang suddenly breathed loudly, like an old hen crowing suddenly. He couldn't catch his breath for a long time. His eyes opened wide and he looked at the umbrella with a look of deep longing and pleading.
Xu Luo suddenly understood what he meant.
He stuffed the umbrella into Li Zuojiang's increasingly stiff arm, then looked at his eyes with the last smile in the world, and quietly closed his eyes...
Not long after, Ding Ge came back again and stood quietly next to Xu Luo.
"In all the years you have been in the Exorcism Department, have you ever encountered any monsters that you can't even deal with?"
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, shook his head subconsciously, stopped again, and then shook his head firmly again.
"It has become a weird thing. How can I still have a relationship with it? Then I wouldn't even be alive now!"
As Xu Luo spoke, he took the umbrella out of Li Zuojiang's arms, threw it into the cart behind him, turned around and got on the shaft.
Ding Ge kept watching the Qingniu cart slowly leave, but he did not move. As expected, he would still stay at Li Mansion to guard Xiao Chengzi.
Before Xu Luo could rush back to the yard where the two sides had just confronted, Yan Gao had already landed on the shaft of the car from the air with a face full of joy.
"Let's go, there's no need to go there, everyone has dispersed, we'll go back to the Exorcism Department directly."
Xu Luo also showed joy on his face.
"What happened today? Which big shot came forward? Yu Sizheng?"
Yan Gao nodded, his whole body relaxed completely, and only then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Other than his old man, who else could there be?
Even I didn't expect that when I sent a letter back to Si Li asking for help, it was Si Zheng who replied to me personally. This is how the exorcism department came out.
However, according to my guess, Lao Yan, we should just be doing it here, and the final confrontation will definitely depend on the negotiations above.
But just now, the people from the Royal Military Division have already taken the lead and left in despair!"
Having said this, Yan Gao, who was already straightforward, narrowed his little eyes slightly, feeling quite proud and happy.
Xu Luo couldn't help but sneer.
"The people in the Royal Military Division have really gone too far in recent years. I guess Sizheng and the others can't stand it anymore."
Yan Gao's head was pounding after hearing this.
"Just now, an oral order has been sent from Si Zheng. All the exorcism officers should return to the meeting hall to gather. I think there should be more to this matter, but it should be a good thing for us!"
