Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously wanted to use Soul Devouring to observe the Yin Qi. He suddenly remembered that Lin Ci was quite afraid of Chen Xuedao. He usually spoke respectfully and did not dare to show any slightness.
So he imitated Lin Ci and bowed in response:
"It's the foster father!"
Judging from his rich dungeon experience, since the spirit realm gave "Lin Ci" the vest, there must be a reason, and the spirit realm would not do meaningless things.
The higher the difficulty of the copy, the more cautious and careful it needs to be.
We have just entered the dungeon, and the core gameplay, crises, and enemies are still unknown. It is best to keep Lin Ci's vest, follow the steps, and observe patiently.
After responding to Chen Xue Dao, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes were filled with darkness, and he immediately looked at the coffin. In the exclusive field of vision of the Night Travel God, the spiritual urn divine flowers covering the coffin body were restrained, the yellow paper talisman showed a faint golden light, and the purple talisman exuded
A wisp of evil spirit.
Obvious purple is strong and yellow is weak.
It’s strange that the yellow paper is used to suppress corpses and seal spirits, and the purple talisman is used to nourish evil spirits and nourish yin. Why do they appear on the coffin at the same time?
Moreover, the yellow talisman's spirit is obviously weaker than the purple talisman. Within six days, it will be completely ineffective, and the sealing formation on the coffin lid will be unbalanced. Zhang Yuanqing turned his eyes and stared at the coffin.
His eyes gradually penetrated the seal of the spiritual coffin, and he saw a cloud of Yin Qi that was so thick that it made people feel palpitated, quietly dormant in the coffin.
——Yeyoushen's vision can only see the essence of the breath and cannot see through, so he cannot see what is in the coffin.
But just staring at the cloud of yin energy made Zhang Yuanqing's heart beat faster and his adrenaline surge, as if he was in a life-or-death crisis.
There is something evil in the coffin!
Terrible beast!!
He closed his eyes suddenly and took a few steps back.
A hand was placed on the shoulder, and immediately, a thick and warm breath flowed into the body, bringing a strong sense of security and calming the throbbing that caused the heart to beat wildly.
Chen Xuedao said in a deep voice: "What did you see that scared you like this?"
Zhuo Peiran also stared over.
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath with a solemn expression:
"There is something evil sealed in the coffin, something very terrible."
Immediately, he told what he saw and the abnormalities of the yellow and purple talismans.
Thinking of the aura in the coffin, he felt a shudder. The evil thing that could bring him such a feeling was unimaginably high.
Chen Xuedao and Zhuo Peiran's expressions sank at the same time.
"A vicious object." Chen Xuedao muttered: "I remember the first day I took the escort, you said you couldn't see through the contents of the coffin."
Huh? Is the original owner so naive? He couldn't feel such a terrifying aura in the coffin? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment. The memories he had obtained were very few, and they flashed by like a revolving lantern, lacking details.
This is more like the incomplete information given by the spiritual realm, but in the form of memory.
Chen Xuedao stared at him and asked:
"Why do you think there was such a big change?"
Zhang Yuanqing was caught off guard by the question. If he couldn't explain the difference, his adoptive father, an old man in the world, might notice the clues.
Fortunately, he had quick wits, and as the year turned, he pretended to be solemn and said:
"It is most likely related to the deaths of Zhang Hu and Zhao Ma. They contributed to the power of the evil beast."
This reason is reasonable.
Chen Xuedao nodded slightly. He thought for a moment and looked at the shopkeeper and waiter, "You guys go out first and close the door."
The shopkeeper, as if he had received an amnesty, repeatedly said yes, led the waiter and ran out of the room, closing the two lattice doors.
When the rest of the crowd left, Chen Xuedao narrowed his eyes and said, "The person sealing the coffin wants to warm the evil thing in the coffin, but he doesn't want it to come out."
Zhuo Peiran frowned, "Since the evil creature is kept, the person who sealed the coffin will definitely release it, but the time has not come yet."
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but take a second look at his nominal eldest brother. He was a serious bewitching demon, bloodthirsty and warlike, but also very wise and good at strategies.
Kou Beiyue felt a little embarrassed as the bewitching demon.
Chen Xuedao looked at the two names and said:
"When I first took the escort, I felt that this trip would not be easy. Now it seems that my prediction has come true.
"This coffin is sealed layer by layer, and the lid cannot be opened. The evil thing inside is different from the community. I only brought you four children out this time. Wei'er and Youcai are both fire masters. They have irritable personalities and are not suitable for discussion."
Having said this, he paused and said seriously:
"Ci'er, go to the market during the day and buy materials to draw a corpse-suppressing talisman to overpower the purple talisman.
"Peiran, take people to the city to look for Zhang Hu and Zhao Ma. After all, we can't be sure whether they were really killed. We'll have to wait another day.
"There is an old friend of mine in Xiucheng, sixty miles away. He once practiced swordsmanship at Shenjian Villa for several years. Later, he traveled around the world and took root in Xiucheng. I want to ask him about the situation of Shenjian Villa. Maybe I can get this information.
Information about the coffin.”
Every escort in the escort agency has been trained with hard work. Chen Xuedao held a trace of luck in his heart and wanted to wait a little longer.
Zhuo Peiran said puzzledly:
"Father, why don't you reveal the purple talisman?"
"No!" Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "The purple talisman can gather evil spirits to nourish the corpse. The evil things in the coffin will be warmed and nourished, and they will stay inside peacefully. If the purple talisman is uncovered, trouble may occur."
Chen Xuedao nodded and said happily: "What Ci'er said makes sense."
After finishing the explanation, Chen Xuedao opened the door, looked at the escorts in the courtyard, and said loudly:
"Rest in the inn today and go out tomorrow. I allow you to go out in batches, but ten people must stay in the inn, and everyone must come back before dark."
Everyone agreed.
Zhuo Peiran immediately named several bodyguards and took them out of the inn to look for Zhang Hu and Zhao Ma.
Chen Xuedao looked at Zhang Yuanqing, "You and I will guard the coffin tonight."
"yes!"
Zhang Yuanqing bowed and said.
After leading Blood Rose and Princess Yinyao out of the backyard, Zhang Yuanqing was in a good mood, because he had one day to visit this ancient city.
"I have the materials to draw the corpse talisman myself, but if I can spend money to buy them, I'd better not waste my own things. But..." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought, where in ancient times could spiritual materials be sold?
Lin Ci must know, but he doesn't.
Just as I was worrying, I suddenly heard the voice of my fourth brother from behind:
"Seventh brother, wait!"
Turning around to look, fourth brother Zhao Youcai and third sister Chen Wei were chasing after them.
Zhao Youcai is about 1.9 meters tall and as burly as a bear. Among all the adopted sons, he is the only one who can match the size of his eldest brother Zhuo Peiran.
And unlike his elder brother who is fierce, Zhao Youcai has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is reckless and irritable, but not violent, and looks more amiable and approachable than Zhuo Peiran.
Among all the brothers, Lin Ci and Zhao Youcai have the best relationship, because the original owner thinks that it is easiest to get along with the fourth brother and there is nothing to worry about.
"What tasks did dad arrange for you?" Chen Wei asked carelessly.
With her fourth brother present, she did not have any intimate interaction with her lover.
Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved: "My adoptive father asked me to buy the materials for drawing the corpse talisman. I am worried about where to find them."
Zhao Youcai is worthy of being a fire master and subconsciously said:
"Of course I go to the drug store and the store."
Zhang Yuanqing raised the corner of his mouth: "Let's go!"
The three of them bought cinnabar at a drug store, and after asking passers-by, they found the largest tile shop in the city.
The so-called tile houses are ancient folk entertainment centers. The tile houses in the city are very large, with wooden structure sheds standing next to each other. You need a "ticket" to enter the sheds.
There are more than thirty lotus sheds, peony sheds, yaksha sheds and elephant sheds.
The entertainment items performed in each shed are different, including puppet shows, shadow plays, acrobatics, and storytelling.
There are also sales of medicine, fortune-telling, gambling, food, antiques, old items, etc.
A bustling and lively scene.
Of course, there is also the familiar Goulan listening music.
After buying the materials, Zhang Yuanqing and Chen Wei, led by their fourth brother Zhao Youcai, entered the Goulan, ordered fine wine and food, and watched the dancers dancing gracefully on the stage.
The silk is fluttering, the trains are flying, charming but not demonic, gorgeous but not vulgar.
There was also the sound of silk and bamboo wind music, and the whole room was intoxicated with spectators, who were so happy that they could not miss Shu.
At the same time, Goulan also offers a flesh-and-blood business, which entertains the guests. They can also take a beautiful woman into the room to rest, but the soundproofing is not very good.
The journey of an escort is long and boring. It is common for them to stop in cities on the way, enter brothels, and hang out on bars for entertainment.
Chen Wei has long been accustomed to it.
But at this moment, listening to the intense sexual intercourse between the fourth brother and the girl, her beautiful eyes gradually blurred, she looked at her lover affectionately, and whispered:
"Seventh brother, let's go inside and rest."
Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart: Didn't you eat enough last night? This morning I saw that the humidity of the sheets was amazing.
What he was most worried about happened.
Although the friendship between Chen Wei and Lin Ci is deep-rooted, Yuanshi Tianzun and Chen Wei have not reached this point yet.
Now that he has replaced Lin Ci, this woman is the biggest trouble.
Alas, I wish I were a scumbag like Demon Lord. I can talk about any woman later. Sure enough, there is no lower limit for people to be invincible. I cannot betray Sister Guan Ya. Zhang Yuanqing said sternly:
"Third sister, we are here to do business. That coffin is weird and weird. It makes me very worried and I have no intention of enjoying myself."
He refused first and then said it. When he returned to the inn, he would stay vigil with Chen Xuedao for one more night. He could delay it for as long as he could.
If I can't delay it, I can only feel sorry for Sister Guan Ya.
"snort!"
Chen Wei glared at him displeasedly and ignored him.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the dancing singer on the stage, his thoughts flying, thinking about the dungeon mission.
From the current point of view, the crisis during the side mission should be the bad thing caused by the coffin.
That is, the evil thing in the coffin.
The main mission needs to arrive at the villa to be triggered.
His last dungeon in the spiritual realm was a multiplayer dungeon. According to the conventions of the spiritual realm, this dungeon should be a battle between factions.
Is the evil profession waiting at the villa, or is it robbed of escorts on the way?
If it's the latter, then there's one more danger in side missions.
I don’t know if the enemy I matched is level 5 or 6.
…
Before sunset, the three of them returned to the "Youke Lai" Inn, and the escorts returned one after another.
Zhang Yuanqing returned to the room in a muffled voice, laid out the materials and tools, made ten corpse-suppressing talismans and ten spirit-sealing talismans, and took the talismans to the backyard.
"Cheer up, everyone, haven't you eaten at noon?" As soon as Chen Wei, who had been rejected from asking for sex, returned to the inn, she let off steam in the backyard by practicing with the escort.
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing coming over, she snorted, suddenly whipped him over, and said:
"Seventh brother, come and practice with me."
Having a girlfriend who is a fire master seems not a good thing. She is too energetic and prone to domestic violence. Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart.
"Weier, stop making trouble, let Ci'er come in." Chen Xuedao's deep voice came from the east wing.
Chen Wei was still in awe of her father. She glared at her lover and stepped out of the way.
Zhang Yuanqing crossed the threshold, entered the east wing, took out a corpse-suppressing talisman and a spirit-suppressing talisman, and slapped them on the head of the coffin.
Then he looked at his adoptive father, who was sitting at the table and drinking tea silently.
"Father, my two talismans can only last for twelve hours. When the magic power dissipates, they need to be replaced." Zhang Yuanqinghui reported.
Chen Xuedao sat at the table with his back straight and said "hmm".
After nightfall, the extraordinary bodyguards practicing in the backyard gradually dispersed, leaving only the father and son in the huge courtyard.
Chen Xuedao is a mountain god. He has a dull temperament and doesn't like to talk. He treats his children very harshly. The bodyguards are extremely strict and everyone respects and fears him, including the original owner Lin Ci.
Therefore, it is difficult for Zhang Yuanqing to take the initiative to talk to him. If he had not considered the original character, he would have already invited his adoptive father to sing and dance rap.
The night was dark, and there was a buzz of insects outside the courtyard.
Zhang Yuanqing sat by the door, watching the yard while examining the coffin.
In view of the sacrifices of two passers-by, Zhang Hu and Zhao Ma, tonight's vigil is likely to be the first crisis he has faced since entering the dungeon.
The evil thing in the coffin is extremely terrifying.
Chen Xuedao's cultivation level is very high, with a minimum of level 5, maybe even level 6. He should be the ceiling in this copy. With him, even if the contents of the coffin come out, he should be able to deal with it. Zhang Yuanqing is thinking about the level of his adoptive father.
.
Ancient practitioners retained the names "earth monster" and "mountain god", with occasional changes, such as the God of the Sun and the Golden Crow.
But they had no concept of level, so Zhang Yuanqing could only vaguely evaluate Chen Xuedao's level.
"I have refined the entire inn into my territory." Chen Xuedao at the table suddenly said.
"With my adoptive father watching over me, I don't think there will be anything unusual tonight." Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile.
This is true, the core skill of the Mountain God is the field.
Fighting in the field can defeat evil professions of the same level, but "refining" requires time, which is considered the price of skills.
Chen Xuedao looked sideways and said in a deep voice:
"It can be seen that Wei'er likes you very much, but not Peiran."
Could it be that Chen Wei and I, no, Lin Ci and Chen Wei's affair was discovered by him? Is your next sentence going to be: I want to clean up the house tonight. Zhang Yuanqing felt panicked.
"Of all my adopted sons, you and Pei Ran are the most talented, the smartest, and will have the greatest achievements in the future." Chen Xuedao's voice was still low, "But, Ci'er, you know why I chose Pei Ran to take over my position.
."
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.
Chen Xuedao said slowly:
"Because your character is too weak, and Pei Ran is murderous. I don't like it very much, but the bodyguard bureau needs a bodyguard leader like him. I'm old, and sooner or later the bodyguard bureau will be handed over to Peiran."
Is this a warning to me to stay away from Chen Wei? Zhang Yuanqing speculated in his heart.
Chen Xuedao looked at him, his majestic eyes softened, and said:
"I have saved a lot of silver over the years, which was used as Wei'er's dowry. When this escort trip is over, you can take Wei'er and the silver with you. As long as I am in charge, Peiran will not embarrass you."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment.
On the one hand, he was shocked that his adoptive father knew about his adultery with his third sister, but on the other hand, he saw kindness and care in the eyes of this "NPC".
A father's care for his daughter, an adopted father's care for his adopted son.
Although they are characters in the spiritual realm, they are also flesh and blood.
This made Zhang Yuanqing silently give up the idea of "I'm sorry for Sister Guan Ya". Chen Xuedao has flesh and blood, and so does Chen Wei. He is not Lin Ci after all, and he cannot use the convenience provided by the spiritual realm to taint the girl's body.
Maybe Chen Wei wouldn't notice anything unusual, but Zhang Yuanqing had some obstacles in his mind.
"Father."
Zhang Yuanqing was about to speak when he suddenly heard the heartbreaking sound of fingernails scraping the coffin lid from inside the coffin.
PS: Low-grade fever, drowsiness, various physical discomforts, my brain has indeed been affected, and it has become slow and inflexible. I try hard to conceive the plot, but it is difficult to concentrate, and I feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
