Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

"Have you ever heard of the ghost story in the house of the wealthy businessman in Sanyang City?"

In a restaurant, several people who were eating together were talking.

They spoke without concealing their voices, so that everyone who was eating around could hear it. Since ancient times, such supernatural things have easily caught people's attention. So when he talked about this topic, he instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.

Everyone became interested and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

Another of their accomplices glanced at the people around him, smiled smugly, and responded, "How could I not know about this? My uncle works for his family! You don't know, that old man has been scared a lot recently!"

The people at the other table couldn't help but stretch their bodies over and said, "Hey, you mean Mr. Li Feng, right?"

When the old man heard this, he said, "Oh, you know this too?"

"Hey, I've heard a little bit, but not as much detail as you know. Can you tell us more about it?"

The old man was pleased to see that he was tactful and did not steal the limelight, so he wiped his mouth and started talking.

 …

After Li Zhi came out of the restaurant, he was still thinking about what the old man had just said about Sanyang City.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to Sanyang City to take a look.

According to what the old man said, Master Li Feng of Sanyang City offered a huge reward to extraordinary people from all over the country to help him solve the problem. Now, many talented people have gathered in Sanyang City, and even disciples from Shushan have gone there.

Among the three major immortal sects, Li Zhi has not seen anyone from Shushan. Immortal Master Liu once said that Longhu Mountain is famous, Xiaoyao Mountain seeks freedom, and only Shushan is dedicated to slaying demons and eliminating evil, which can be regarded as a model of righteousness.

So he also planned to go there and make some friends this time.

You know, for a sinister person like Master Liu, this evaluation of Shushan is already extremely high.

As for whether there would be danger on this trip, Li Zhi was not too worried. After all, there were so many talented people gathered in Sanyang City at this moment, including people from Shushan, so there shouldn't be too much danger.

It's impossible to be so unlucky that I would encounter another ghost that is as big as a demon.

Li Zhi thought so in his heart.

There was no conversation along the way, and Li Zhi finally arrived at Sanyang City.

After entering Sanyang City, Li Zhi immediately felt that Sanyang City was different from other towns.

This Sanyang City was not as lively as the towns Li Zhi had encountered before. It was deserted, and the shops on both sides of the street had their doors and windows tightly closed, as if they were unwilling to communicate with people. Occasionally, a few passers-by passed by, but they were all in a hurry.

Seeing this, Li Zhi could only stop a passerby. The passerby looked unhappy and alert after being stopped by Li Zhi, but when he saw that Li Zhi was wearing a Taoist robe and had a sword on his waist, his expression eased. He said, "Are you looking for Master Li's mansion?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right. I heard that the house of Mr. Li Feng in Sanyang City seems to be haunted..."

"Silence!"

The passerby seemed to be frightened by something and covered Li Zhi's mouth with his hands in horror.

After looking around, he whispered, "Remember not to say that in Sanyang City, or else that will come after you!"

Li Zhi also began to feel doubtful, as if things were a little beyond his expectations.

Judging from the current situation, I’m afraid that this haunted incident is not only in Li Feng’s mansion, it seems that it has affected the entire city.

He thought so in his heart, so he whispered to the passerby, "Could it be that this is not only happening in Master Li Feng's family, but also in other families in the city?"

The passerby opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seemed to be hesitant. Finally, he sighed and said, "You can go directly to Mr. Li's house to ask. Those people are at his house, and the heroes of Shushan are also there."

The passerby didn't say anything more after he finished speaking. He pointed the way to Li Zhi and left in a hurry.

Li Zhi began to think about backing out at this moment. He originally thought it was just a small problem, but now seeing how it looked, he was afraid it might be a big event.

He just wanted to gain some experience and get acquainted with the people of Shushan, but he didn't intend to fight the boss.

"Hey, this Taoist brother!"

Just when Li Zhi was about to slip away, someone called him from behind.

Li Zhi subconsciously turned his head and saw a man walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Li Zhi frowned and asked in confusion: "Why? Are you looking for me?"

The man didn't seem to notice Li Zhi's indifference and defensiveness. Instead, he said to Li Zhi in a very familiar way: "Brother, are you going to Li Feng's house? Coincidentally, I am going too. Let's go together!"

"No, I'm not planning to go now!" Li Zhi said coldly and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the man took a step forward and blocked Li Zhi's way.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with anger and vigilance, and his right hand had quietly covered the hilt of the sword at his waist. He suppressed his anger and said, "What? Are you planning to force me to come over?"

The man seemed not to notice Li Zhi's anger at the moment. He still said with a smile: "No, no, brother, don't misunderstand me. I just don't know the way, and I want you to help take me there."

Li Zhi stared at the man for a while, as if trying to judge his purpose and whether his words were true.

Finally, Li Zhi showed him the way.

"Go straight along this road, and then take the road to the south at the fork. You will arrive at the end."

"Okay, thank you brother!" Upon hearing that, the man immediately clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Li Zhi. Li Zhi glanced at his hands wrapped in bandages, ignored him, and left.

After Li Zhi sent the man away, he didn't want to stay here. The longer he stayed in the city, the more Li Zhi felt something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, when Li Zhi arrived at the city gate, he found that the gate had been closed at some point.

Li Zhi wanted to ask the guards at the gate about the situation, but the other party had a bad attitude and directly drove him out of the vicinity of the city gate.

Li Zhi walked on the street with a gloomy face. He didn't know why the city gates were suddenly closed in broad daylight, but he knew it was not a good thing, especially when something strange was happening in the city.

After thinking it over again and again, Li Zhi decided to go to Li Feng's house. He needed to find out what exactly happened.

So Li Zhi didn't stay any longer and went straight to Li Feng's mansion.

Li Feng is indeed a famous wealthy man in Sanyang City. His mansion is located in the south of Sanyang City. The gate of the mansion is more than three meters high. The vermilion door is open, and two huge stone lions stand at the door. However, these stone lions, which were originally majestic and awe-inspiring, now seem a little listless in Li Zhi's eyes.

Li Zhi knew that this stone lion had always been used to suppress evil spirits. Usually, ghosts could not approach a house guarded by a stone lion. At this moment, the state of the stone lion was obviously affected by something.

"It seems like this matter is definitely not a small matter."

Li Zhi sighed inwardly. He really didn't expect the situation to be so serious. If he had known this, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.

But he had no way to escape at the moment. The closing of the city gate had cut off his retreat. He was also vaguely aware of the reason why the city gate was suddenly closed. In this situation, he didn't think he could just find a random place to hide in the city and be done with it.

Moreover, compared to hiding alone, Li Zhi felt that it was safer to be with Shushan, the light of righteousness.

In addition, Li Zhi now knows nothing about the whole incident. He needs to find out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible in order to make the right decision. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, he may fall into a passive position or even endanger his life.

Having made up his mind, Li Zhi did not hesitate any longer and stepped directly into the open door.
