Chapter 80 Bone Powder for Life
The advantage of bows and arrows lies in their quietness and strong penetrating power, but this is only effective against unprotected targets.

Li Xuan learns at a shooting club in the real world. The instructor uses both traditional longbows and compound bows. The difference is that longbows have a simpler construction, and as long as you have a steady hand and enough strength, they produce the best continuous shooting results! Compound bows have pulleys for shooting, and their parts are more complex. The advantage is that they can reduce a lot of the effort required to draw the string. However, if used for continuous shooting, each shot will cause the bow to vibrate, the parts to rub together, and the accuracy will decrease...

When he drew the compound bow at that moment, the string was drawn lightly, the pulleys rolled back and forth, and the arrow trembled, causing many deviations.

My initial purpose in learning compound bows was that my physical strength and stamina were average, and I needed a compound bow to save energy. However, now, my practice of refining essence into qi is becoming increasingly proficient.

The body is the furnace, the essence is the medicine, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the fire.

Strength, speed, and physical fitness are all increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Li Xuan used to be drenched in sweat after jogging three kilometers, but now he has to run at least ten kilometers to experience that feeling again.

Ah Jiu was a ruthless person. After being shot in the leg with an arrow, he managed to suppress the pain after the first scream and then forcefully snapped the arrow shaft in his right hand!
Seeing Li Xuan raise the composite bow again, he hurriedly raised his blood-covered hand and said, "No, no, no, we have no enmity between us, why do we have to fight to the death right away?"

Whoosh!
The arrow grazed past his abdomen!
Li Xuan: “…”

He didn't miss. It was because Ah Jiu, an old man in his sixties, was able to do a somersault in the blink of an eye after being shot in the thigh!

He truly lives up to his reputation as a man who stepped out of an "old zombie movie".

At this moment, Ajiu knew that the young man in front of him was an uncommunicative madman who only wanted to take his life!
Only by killing this young man at all costs can he have a chance to return to his house alive today.

Ah Jiu lifted his clothes, took out two small jars, and threw them on the ground. Thick smoke billowed out of them, instantly engulfing his figure.

Li Xuan instinctively shot another arrow into the smoke.

Clang.

It seems I didn't win...

He retreated from the smoke to avoid being ambushed. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement from Ah Jiu, he realized that Ah Jiu had run away.

Downstairs in the room, Ah Jiu returned, leaning against the wall. Her hands and feet, stained with blood, left bloody handprints on the wall, while only one bloody footprint remained on the floor…

He walked shakily to the altar, opened the drawer in the incense table, and found it full of about a dozen packets of powder in transparent plastic bags.

These are all bone ash powders made from the bones of the little devils who died in the Ghost Cave of the Central Building.

The powder contains a large amount of yin energy and resentment, and it is the life-saving powder that Ah Jiu relies on to survive and prolong her life.

If we use it sparingly, it can last for another twenty days or so, but we can't worry about that now. If we don't kill that young man named "Li Gan," then today will be his doom.

Needless to say, the body of Ah Dong in Sister Mei's room was definitely destroyed by this kid.

Ah Jiu racked her brains, even comparing Li Xuan's face with the faces of her former enemies, but she still couldn't figure out where "Li Gan" was from...

do not care!
Normally, these powders are rolled into cigarettes, burned, and inhaled into the lungs to relieve the pain of lung cancer.

But there's no time now. Li Gan probably knows where he lives because during the day, Ajiu saw Li Gan pass by the door saying he wanted to get to know the neighbors so he could visit and chat.

Talk to your mother!
Damn it!
Ah Jiu roughly tore open the transparent bags, poured them all into a large stainless steel cup, added warm water, stirred it a couple of times with his hand, and then started guzzling it directly into his mouth...

Nearly half a liter of water was gulped down into my stomach.

His eyes were red-rimmed, his pupils were gloomy. He looked around, took a piece of cloth and a stainless steel chopstick, folded the cloth several times, bit the inside of it, and then aimed the chopstick at the wound from the arrow. He slowly inserted it, touched the broken arrow shaft, and suddenly exerted a fierce force!

The chopstick, pointing towards the arrow, pierced through the leg, completely penetrating it before falling out...

He was soaked in sweat, groaning in pain, his hands trembling. There was nothing he could do.

The arrow remained inside the leg, causing significant pain and damage as the muscles were strained during movement.

Ah Jiu desperately wanted to rest, but he knew that time was his greatest need. Trembling, he took out a few purple talismans and patted them onto his wounds. He gestured a few times, chanted an incantation, and the bleeding stopped...

He pulled out the entire altar, inserted incense sticks into the burner, looked at the strangely shaped statue on the altar, and chanted incantations.

The incense burner trembled continuously, and one pale child after another crawled out. These were ghost children that Ah Jiu had carefully selected from the Central Building, but they were far from being mature and were not as powerful as the twin flower ghosts in room 2442 upstairs.

The ghost children all ran outside, rushing upwards according to Ah Jiu's instructions.

Ah Jiu, supporting herself against the wall, walked out of the room, her eyes filled with malice, and said coldly, "If you won't let me live, then nobody should live..."

He thought for a moment, took out his phone, and dialed a number: "Ayou...save me."

Ah-you, who was sound asleep in bed, looked completely bewildered as he held up an old-fashioned keypad phone and said, "Ah-jiu? What are you up to in the middle of the night?"

In a hoarse, pained voice, Ajiu said, "Ayou, look at the good young man you recommended! That young man named 'Li Gan' turns out to be a heretic, he..."

Ayou was startled, sat up in bed, and said, "Isn't this building the most eerie one?"

Ah Jiu choked for a moment, then said, "I'm serious! It turns out that Sister Mei's husband has been dead for several days. Someone secretly instructed him to turn him into a zombie! This person is Li Gan. He doesn't know what he wants to do with the zombie. He just went to Sister Mei's house and made a huge commotion. It was full of eerie energy, and there was blood flowing out from under the door..."

He looked back at the direction the ghost children had gone and headed towards the opposite staircase, struggling to climb upwards.

Ah You understood, but he couldn't reconcile Li Xuan's cheerful office worker image with that of a murderer using evil magic, but human life was at stake.

He said, "I'll go check on Sister Mei right now."

Ah Jiu hurriedly said, "There's movement over there with Sister Mei. I went to check, and that kid shot me with an arrow while hiding in the shadows. I'm hiding at home now, but he's coming... Ah You, please help me!"

After saying this, he turned off his phone.

Ah-you frowned. In the middle of the night, his mind was still foggy and he hadn't fully woken up when he received such explosive news!
He saw the call end and dialed again, but the other party's phone was already switched off.

Is it really as Ajiu said?
They've been neighbors for decades. Sister Mei has always been kind to Ah Jiu. Although Ah Jiu has a wicked streak, he would never actually harm Sister Mei...

Ah-you picked up the peach wood sword, hesitated for a moment, then took down the family heirloom compass from the wall and hurriedly went out to Ah-jiu's room.

……

zizi...

zizi...

The lights in the hallway kept flashing.

Holding the seal, Li Xuan subdued several ghost children who had suddenly appeared one by one. These children were filled with resentment, but they had not killed anyone yet, so he did not use excessive force and put them all into the gourd.

After a slight delay, we arrived at Ajiu's room, only to find it deserted with messy bloody footprints on the floor.

He glanced at it and had a bad feeling. Ah Jiu went upstairs, probably wanting to release the twin sisters in a desperate attempt...
