Stars fall and locust trees grow

Wei Li’s magic weapon is a heavy wooden sword that fits his body shape perfectly.

Li Chi stood on the sword and stared at his back angrily. He tried his best to control the urge to kick him, and muttered in his heart: If it were an ordinary wooden sword, it would not be able to bear his excessive weight and... shamelessness.

On the way down the mountain, Wei Li was still stumbling, making Li Chi dizzy and almost vomiting out half of the radish in his stomach.

After finally reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Chi said he would not go any further and simply collapsed on the ground pretending to be dead.

But Wei Li still looked good-tempered. He pulled him up from the ground with a smile on his face, carried him on his shoulders without saying a word, and continued on his way.

Li Chi rolled his eyes and was speechless.

But he still had no intention of walking.

It was getting dark and the gates of Shuozhou were closed. They could not enter the city tonight and could only spend the night outside the city.

However, Wei Li seemed to be very familiar with the nearby terrain. After carrying him for less than two quarters of an hour, they found a place to stay.

An abandoned charity cemetery.

Although the charity cemetery was abandoned, it was not as dirty and messy as Li Chi had imagined, because the only house in the yard was left with only a few pillars barely supporting the roof beams, and the only things that could be used to lie people were the five empty coffins placed in the middle of the yard.

Similarly, there is no vermilion lacquer or carvings, and it looks extremely friendly.

After a whole day of hard work, Li Chi was tired and hungry.

He leaned against one of the coffins and was just about to lower his head to take a bite of radish when he saw Wei Li take out a roast chicken from his sleeve.

It is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and steaming hot.

Li Chi sniffed hard.

so fragrant...

My saliva started to flow and my stomach started to growl at an inopportune time.

Wei Li saw Li Chi staring at the roast chicken in his hand motionlessly, and his eyes narrowed again.

"I bought this roast chicken at Fu Man Lou when I passed by Huizhou a few days ago. The chicken is a Mingque chicken that has been fed with spiritual rice since childhood. A lot of precious spiritual medicines were stewed in the process of roasting it, and it was kept warm on the way with magic. The cost is really not low. If you want to eat it, I will charge you... one hundred spiritual stones."

After hearing Wei Li's words, Li Chi suddenly felt not so hungry anymore. He punched the coffin and became furious.

"Bah! You are such a wicked person, fat man! I would rather starve to death than eat your lousy roast chicken!"

After saying these harsh words, Li Chi turned around and crawled into the coffin. He reluctantly closed the lid for himself, then lay in the dark and angrily gnawed on a radish.

Click, click, click, click...

Wei Li listened to the sound of Li Chi chewing the radish vigorously. He did not show any expression on his face. He just stared at his coffin for a while, then put the roast chicken away intact, turned over and lay in the coffin next to him, and quickly closed the lid.

Neither of them spoke anymore.

Perhaps it was because he had been lying in the coffin for too long, or perhaps it was because he was hungry, but after eating some radishes for a while, Li Chi tossed and turned in the coffin.

Why can't I feel sleepy at all...

Not only was I not sleepy, but my consciousness was becoming increasingly clear. A bunch of messy things were jumping up and down wildly in my mind like beads that had broken off the string.

There are Juyun Zong, Li Shi, A Xing, and... Wei Li...

Li Chi felt that Wei Li was a bit strange.

He happened to appear when he needed him the most. He first took the initiative to talk about the destruction of the Juyun Sect, and then took a contract with unknown content to bind him. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

However, I have been dead for at least thirty years, and there is nothing on me that is worth others' attention. If Wei Li has bad intentions, what is he trying to do?

and many more……

He wouldn't want to sell himself to some low-class place in exchange for spirit stones!

Li Chi felt a chill in his heart, but then shook his head.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

He has an ordinary appearance and has just been resurrected from the dead. There might be some problems hidden in his body. It is a losing deal no matter how you look at it.

Thinking of this, Li Chi almost slapped his thigh excitedly again.

Yes! He is poor and weak now. He can neither afford to eat nor drink. He cannot beat bad guys. It is not a bad thing to have Wei Li by his side.

As for that indenture... no, it's that blood contract...

After I recover my spiritual energy and return to my original state, I will pin down that fat guy and beat him until he cries for his parents, and then I will snatch it away and tear it apart.

After thinking all this through, Li Chi felt relieved, but suddenly felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have refused the roast chicken just now.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Li Chi finally felt a little sleepy. Just as he was drowsy, he vaguely heard the voices of several men outside the coffin.

"Junior Brother Huaiyi, the city gates have long been closed at this time, and we haven't seen any place to stay along the way. Why don't we just stay here tonight!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The others followed suit, their voices sounding weak. "We've been traveling all day, and everyone is tired."

"Forget it, let's rest here for a night."

This guy called Huai Yi should be the leader of this group of people. When they heard him nod, the disciples all smiled happily, with excitement in their voices.

"Junior Brother Huaiyi, I have cleaned this place up. You can stay here for a while tonight."

Immediately afterwards, Li Chi heard a rustling sound coming from beside his coffin.

Li Chi thought: I wonder where these sect monks are coming from to attend the ceremony... These little brats really know how to choose a place...

After a while, the man who spoke first said, "I just received a message from Master, saying that Junior Master will come out of retreat today and will set off to Shuozhou to meet us tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huai Yi, who was leaning against his coffin, exclaimed: "What?! Little Master is also going to participate in the Changsheng Hall's promotion ceremony?"

In an instant, not only the one called Huai Yi, but other disciples also began to discuss excitedly.

A voice said: "Little Master has activated the ancient clan pattern shortly after entering the mortal realm, and obtained the inheritance from our ancestors several decades ago. Now he is about to break through to the spiritual master realm. It is so fast, it is really enviable..."

Huai Yi replied, "Of course. The young master is not only gifted, but also very hardworking in his practice. Since he returned to the sect, he has been in seclusion for many years and rarely shows up. He has never even left the sect. If it were us, who could do that?"

"..."

Several people were chattering, becoming more and more excited, making Li Chi's head hurt. Then, they accidentally let out a long and loud fart.

"It is said that eating too much radish can help relieve gas. The ancients were right..."

After the fart, the surroundings were quiet for a moment, and then there was the sound of a bunch of swords being unsheathed.

then……

Li Chi saw the coffin lid above his head rise into the air, and was replaced by a dozen shining swords, which shone coldly under the moonlight.

The cold light reflected the face of a handsome young man, who looked harmless.

Li Chi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because, that wasn't his face!
