Stars fall and locust trees grow

Li Chi put his face close to the sword closest to him in disbelief.

When he was finally sure that the stranger was himself, his mind turned rapidly through many twists and turns.

First, rule out possession of another’s body.

Given his low state of mind and noble character back then, it was impossible for him to possess another person's body, and he would never do so in this lifetime.

Moreover, he died so suddenly, how could he have the time to seize another body, and whose body could he seize? !

Secondly, exclude sacrifice.

In the seventeen years that he was alive, he could count the number of people he knew on one hand. Moreover, he was not a popular figure who could save the world and save all living beings. How could anyone be willing to give their body to him? !

Then, the only thing left is to use a dead body to revive.

But if he was using a corpse to revive, who was the one who borrowed the corpse for him, and whose corpse was it? !

My head itches...

Before Li Chi could recover from his confusion, the dozen or so shining swords moved closer to his neck.

"Who are you?!"

"What are you doing sneaking around in this coffin?!"

"Why don't you tell the truth!!!"

What a bunch of unreasonable brats! Not only did they overturn his coffin lid to disturb his sweet dreams, but now they dare to boss him around and yell at him!

Do they understand what first come first served means? !

Li Chi was so angry that he farted loudly again.

The fart startled the dozen swords so much that they staggered a few times, and then were taken back by their respective owners.

After all, they needed one hand to cover their noses and one hand to fan themselves, so they didn't have a third hand to hold a sword.

The scene was truly spectacular.

Seeing this, Li Chi stood up slowly, patted the non-existent dust on the corner of her clothes, then straightened her body and pinched her waist, revealing the look of a complete shrew.

"Bah! I was the first one to stay here. I finally fell asleep, but was woken up by you guys. Now you dare to point swords at me... What? You think having more people is a big deal?"

"you……"

"You? What do you mean by you? Which sect are you from? Is this how your master taught you? If they knew that you were being unreasonable and bullying others outside, I'm afraid you would lose face."

"I……"

"Me?! What do you mean by me? Doesn't what I said make sense? Do you think I am weak and can be bullied just because I am alone and helpless and at a low level? I tell you! No way!!!"

"..."

Seeing that the group of teenagers all had a look of astonishment and speechlessness, Li Chi suddenly felt much better.

In the end, one of the older people took the initiative to apologize to Li Chi.

"My fellow Daoist, I am truly sorry. I am Zeng Muhan, a disciple of Mingyuejian. We just flew all the way here from Mingyuejian this morning, and we were attacked in a dangerous place on the way, so all of you fellow disciples are a little nervous. It was not intentional to disturb you, so I hope you can forgive me."

Li Chi recognized that this voice belonged to the first person who spoke and asked everyone to stay the night when they first entered the charity cemetery.

"Senior Brother Mu Han!"

The one who is still trying to quibble is Huai Yi...

Gu Huaiyi seemed to want to say something else, but was stopped by Zeng Muhan. He threw away his sleeves and walked to the corner to sit on the ground in a huff, then rolled his eyes at Li Chi.

Zeng Muhan saw this and gave Li Chi an apologetic smile.

Li Chi shrugged, lay back in his coffin, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

During this period, Wei Li, who was sleeping in the coffin next door, had not made any sound.

Perhaps because he was tired from tossing and turning in the second half of the night, Li Chi slept very soundly that night. When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

The group of Mingyuejian disciples had left long ago, but Wei Li next to them still didn't make any movement. Li Chi suspected that he had suffocated to death in the coffin because of his large body size.

He pushed open the lid of Wei Li's coffin with force, and saw the fat man lying motionless inside. Li Chi was so scared that he quickly put his fingers in front of his nostrils.

No breathing!!!

"Fuck him! He's not really suffocating to death!"

Li Chi immediately rolled up his sleeves and slapped Wei Li twice in the face with the strength of pulling a carrot!

"I won't wake you up!!!"

No one knew what Wei Li's face was made of, it was as hard as stone. Li Chi only felt his palm was in great pain, but there was not even a red mark left on Wei Li's face.

Li Chi was in so much pain that he wanted to slap Wei Li twice more, but he saw that Wei Li suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Chi immediately rubbed his palms in embarrassment, "Hehe... why are you sleeping like a dead pig? I can't wake you up even if I shout."

Wei Li: Are you sure you called me just now?

The two of them packed up briefly and set off for Shuozhou City.

Because of the Changsheng Palace's upgrading ceremony, Shuozhou City was crowded with people coming and going. Li Chi was dazzled by the colorful sect uniforms. He had not felt such a lively atmosphere for a long time.

The Hall of Eternal Life had booked all the inns in the city half a month ago, and also left disciples from the sect to provide reception in each inn. Anyone who came to attend the ceremony could check in for free with an invitation letter.

And independent cultivators like Li Chi and Wei Li, who have no sect or affiliation, can only pay out of their own pockets. However, even if they can afford the spirit stones, they may not be able to find an empty inn to stay in, after all, there are too many people coming to attend the ceremony.

The two went to four or five inns but couldn't find a place to stay.

Li Chi was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and he reached out and grabbed Wei Li who was walking in front of him.

"Hey Fatty, we're not here to participate in the promotion ceremony. Is it necessary to wander around here?"

Wei Li said: "Since you are here, why not go?"

"But I don't want to go!" He still wanted to rush to Jiangzhou to find Xiao Axing!

"But I want to go."

Li Chi muttered: "You don't have an invitation..."

"Without an invitation letter, you just can't stay in the hotel for free. This time, some low-level sects came uninvited. Could it be that the Hall of Immortality will refuse them entry? They will just be seated at the end of the table or on the periphery."

Li Chi was speechless.

After following Wei Li for a while, Li Chi suddenly smelled a faint sweet scent, like that coming from locust flowers.

He quickly raised his head and looked around, and found that there was a huge stone arch bridge made of bluestone not far away. There were some tigers, flying dragons, patterns, and figures carved on the bridge. It looked lifelike and very magnificent.

Under the stone arch bridge was a very spacious river. Occasionally, a few small boats carrying tourists passed by leisurely on the river. Most of those tourists seemed to be disciples of the sect who came to participate in the ceremony.

By the river, there stood a tall and sturdy old locust tree.

The tree was about ten feet tall, with a very thick waist, and looked lush and leafy, covered with bunches of purple-red flowers. The fragrance just now came from it.

Jiangzhou has always had distinct four seasons, and scenes like this bridge and flowing water can usually only be seen in paintings. Li Chi was immediately attracted by the locust tree, and he changed direction and ran under the bridge.
