Chapter 17 Silence
Xiao Bang and Li Jingan ran over when they saw Xiao Xiaoqi from a distance.
Father! Xiao Xiaoqi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chopin to appear here.
What’s even more surprising is that under the raging thunderstorm, Chopin and Li Jingan were safe and sound!
Xiao Bang rushed over and hugged Xiao Xiaoqi, "That's great, Xiaoqi, you're okay! As long as you're okay."
Li Jingan also showed a happy expression next to him at this time. Originally, Xiao Xiaoqi was lost in his general's mansion, and he felt very guilty. Fortunately, now that he saw that Xiao Xiaoqi was fine, he felt a little better.
"Oh? You're really okay!" Huang Yigua walked leisurely from behind.
When Xiao Bang and Li Jingan saw Huang Yigua approaching, they both showed expressions of gratitude.
Chopin said respectfully, "I would also like to thank Mr. Huang for saving my life."
It seems that Huang Yigua saved Xiao Bang, Li Jingan and all the soldiers.
Huang Yigua shook his hand and said, "I'm just following the trend. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can let me and your son have a few words alone?"
Chopin was puzzled, but he nodded in agreement.
Xiao Xiaoqi and Huang Yigua walked aside. He was also curious about why Huang Yigua suddenly wanted to chat with him.
Huang Yigua said to Xiao Xiaoqi at this time, "Although I don't know how you did it, I feel that this catastrophe is related to you. It is undeniable that you saved Xiaofugui Village and the villagers are fine."
Save? Xiao Xiaoqi didn’t feel much about this, he just did some research.
Huang Yigua added, "I told you that my sect is called Shanmen. I would like to invite you to visit Shanmen. I believe there is something you are interested in there."
Aren't they just a bunch of fortune tellers? Xiao Xiaoqi wondered, what's so fun about it?
"Okay, it's time to say goodbye. I've just made a fortune for myself. It's time to leave here today. Children, we will see you later."
After Huang Yigua finished speaking, he left.
Regarding Huang Yigua, Xiao Xiaoqi still didn't understand one thing. How did he escape this thunder disaster, and how did he save Xiao Bang and others?
He couldn't understand, so Xiao Xiaoqi didn't force it and turned around to go back to find Chopin.
Then he suddenly saw the old man with a goatee kneeling on the ground, as if muttering something.
Xiao Xiaoqi came closer and heard, "The sky thunder is coming, please strike it down, let me become as strong as those villagers!"
Xiao Xiaoqi reminded the old Taoist at this time that the evolution of the villagers was achieved under the combined action of corpse energy, ghost seeds, sky thunder and boiler talismans. It can be said that this is almost impossible to copy. If a lightning strikes down now... it may not be possible.
Damn it, why don't you give it a try?
The old Taoist immediately shut up after hearing Xiao Xiaoqi's analysis, "Bah, you want to do an experiment on me again!"
Then he was a little confused, "Did you just say boiler talisman array? What is it?"
Xiao Xiaoqi explained that this is the half-modified corpse ghost talisman array. This talisman array can integrate a variety of forces to work together, so it is called the boiler talisman array.
The corner of the old Taoist's mouth twitched slightly, this name was chosen too casually.
Xiao Xiaoqi stopped paying attention to Lao Dao and prepared to go home with Cho Bang.
At home, Xiao Xiaoqi's mother Lan Ying was still worried about him, so Xiao Xiaoqi went directly back to Yuyu County and did not plan to go to the General's Mansion.
Li Jingan stayed temporarily to properly resettle the villagers of Xiaofugui Village. The houses in the village were destroyed and they had to be relocated.
As for the old Taoist Goat Beard, he also left in despair. He didn't catch anything this time, and he also lost a business. Even the specially refined red thatch was destroyed in this thunderstorm. The old Taoist
He lost all his money and called Xiao Xiaoqi the disaster star.
On the way home, Chopin still looked worried. Everything that happened today was so strange and unheard of that it began to shake Chopin's inner understanding of the world.
Evening, Xiao
Xiaoqi returned to Xiaozhai. As soon as she saw Xiao Xiaoqi, Lan Ying hugged him tightly and cried bitterly. She kept saying, "Xiaoqi, mother will never abandon you again. You have suffered, my child."
Xiao Xiaoqi was a little helpless. He wanted to say, "Mom, I'm not young anymore."
He hadn't seen him for the past few days, and he didn't think it was a big deal. He even thought it was an interesting experimental trip. However, his parents felt completely opposite. They were very worried. After all, Xiao Xiaoqi was their only child.
I wonder if there is a way to be a substitute. If I have a substitute, it will be easier to go out in the future. Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly had this idea, well, who should I find for the experiment?
Xiao Xiaoqi is thinking about what to do next...
However, the reality is that in the next month, Xiao Xiaoqi could not even leave the main gate of Xiao's house. Lan Ying looked at him closely, fearing that Xiao Xiaoqi would disappear in the next second.
Lan Ying would even run to Xiao Xiaoqi's room in the middle of the night to see that he was still sleeping on the bed, so she went back to sleep with confidence.
He had no choice but to sneak out at night, so Xiao Xiaoqi could only hide in his room during the day and study the ghost seed in his body.
Although his ghost species has become stronger, it has also become stupid, like an unenlightened child.
But Xiao Xiaoqi discovered an interesting ability in the ghost species, plasticity!
Although his ghost seed does not make the host as powerful as the villagers in Xiaofugui Village, it has the ability to change, which means Xiao Xiaoqi can shape it into any shape, and even create a person exactly like him.
In this way, we have a clue about the substitute method, but the ghost species is a virtual body, and Xiao Xiaoqi is a physical body. As long as he touches it, he will know which one is real and which one is fake. Therefore, Xiao Xiaoqi still needs to study it further.
One morning a month later, Xiao Xiaoqi got up early to meditate as usual, but now he took an extra step before meditating, which was to use a white jade pestle to draw an intermediate Catwoman sigil on the ground.
Sitting on the Catwoman sigil and meditating, Xiao Xiaoqi can absorb the wisps of purple energy coming from the rising sun.
Although this purple energy cannot make Xiao Xiaoqi fly to the sky and escape from the earth, it can strengthen his body.
Xiao Xiaoqi is now as strong as an adult, and his body mobility is not inferior to that of ordinary martial arts practitioners. This is the extraordinary effect of purple energy.
However, just achieving this effect cannot achieve the evolution Xiao Xiaoqi imagined.
"Xiao Qi, it's time to get up and eat!" Lan Ying's voice came from outside.
Xiao Xiaoqi stood up quickly, but he couldn't let Lan Ying see him meditating, otherwise she would think he was possessed.
Xiao Xiaoqi came to the back hall to prepare for dinner, when he saw his parents discussing something, as if they were talking about his grandfather.
After listening to Lan Ying's words, Xiao Bang said, "Hey, my father-in-law will celebrate his sixtieth birthday soon!"
Lan Ying nodded, "It's the day after tomorrow, so I'm wondering if I should take Xiaoqi back to pay my father's birthday?"
"Go, why don't you go?" Chopin said directly, "You haven't gone back for a long time. Do you want me to accompany you?"
Lan Ying shook her head and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. There are still many things to deal with in Yuyu County. I am afraid that you, the county magistrate, are very busy. Xiaoqi and I can just go back."
Xiao Bang patted his head, "Yes, I almost forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival. This kind of festival is the most annoying, and it is easy to cause trouble... Why don't you let Jianyu send you there? After all, it is a long way."
Lan Ying refused again, "You two have been busy lately. I'll take Xiaoqi and Xiaohua, and then find a reliable car dealer to take us there. Don't worry, it's just that it's hard for you."
It’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival alone.”
Chopin cooperated and showed an aggrieved expression, "Isn't that right? Then shouldn't you make amends?"
After hearing this, Lan Ying lightly tapped Chopin's nose with her finger, "Okay, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Eating next to
Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard the two of them starting to flirt, and said in his heart, childish.
But according to what Lan Ying said just now, she should be going to Xiao Xiaoqi's grandpa's house tomorrow for a birthday banquet.
Xiao Xiaoqi has little impression of his grandfather because he is far away from him and has not seen him for two or three years.
Xiao Xiaoqi only remembered that his grandfather's name was Lan Tianqun. He used to be an official in the Central Dynasty. Later, when he got old and was in poor health, he retired and returned to his hometown to live in Qun'an County.
Although Qun'an County is also within the territory of Tuozhou, it is far away from Yuyu County, one in the north and the other in the south, and it takes two days to go back and forth.
This time it was Lan Tianqun's 60th birthday, so Lan Yingcai wanted to go back and have a look.
Xiao Xiaoqi thought it didn't matter, just go, it was better than being locked up at home by Lan Ying.
After finishing the meal, Lan Ying was not idle, but took Xiao Xiaoqi out. They were going to Shangling Temple!
Lan Ying went to pray for tomorrow's trip, while Xiao Xiaoqi went to meet the old host, share with him interesting things that happened recently, and discuss them.
The carriage drove through the downtown area and when it came to a hill, Xiao Xiaoqi fell into memories. This was the place where Xiao Xiaoqi saw a dead body for the first time. He had done experiments in the cemetery next to it, and also accidentally in the bamboo forest below.
Refining a Catwoman... It seemed like this was a turning point. Unknowingly, his life began to develop into a new world.
Xiao Xiaoqi doesn't know how he learned the way of talismans. He only knows that he has known about talismans since he was a governor and is also very sensitive to talismans. This is the so-called talent, or maybe there is a kind of mission calling him.
Hold him.
Xiao Xiaoqi's hope is to find a way to make people evolve. Xiaofugui Village is an example. Under the action of lightning, the corpses merge with the human body, making the villagers physically stronger than ordinary people.
However, the method in Xiaofugui Village is almost impossible to replicate. That is not what Xiao Xiaoqi wants. What he wants is a method that everyone can use!
But the future is uncertain and I have no clue.
On an uneven road, the carriage swayed as it passed by, pulling Xiao Xiaoqi back from his thoughts.
Xiao Xiaoqi breathed out, haste makes waste, let everything take its course.
After arriving at Shanngling Temple, Xiao Xiaoqi felt disappointed. The monks in the temple told him that Master Miaozhen, who was in charge, had gone down the mountain to wander around and would not return until some time later.
This was very helpless. Lan Ying could not find a host to pray, so she could only pray to gods and Buddhas in the temple, and then returned home directly.
Around the same time, Lan Ying and Xiao Xiaoqi returned to Xiao's house. Lan Ying went to pack her things and prepare the clothes she would take away tomorrow.
Xiao Xiaoqi continued to play with ghost seeds in the room.
The white horse passed by, and soon night fell. At this time, in Qun'an County, far north of Tuozhou, the night revealed an uneasy atmosphere.
The cold wind blew by, and some paper scraps and dry leaves were floating in the wind. There was no one on the street, and there was silence. Even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be clearly heard...
At this time, there was a drunk man carrying wine and walking drunkenly on the street.
Suddenly, a red figure swung past the alley next to him.
The drunk man felt something and turned around, but didn't see anything. He said bluntly, "Drink too much, haha, drink... drink too much..."
However, the red figure swayed past the entrance of the alley again. This time the drunk man was not calm anymore. He shouted, "Who?"
The drunk man staggered toward the alley, intending to see what was going on.
After a while, the drunk man walked to the entrance of the alley. He looked around the corner of the alley to see who was playing tricks on him.
However, his eyes suddenly widened and he took a deep breath of cold air.
Under the bright moonlight, I saw a bloody corpse lying on the ground at the corner of the alley, which frightened the drunkard so much that he woke up!
