Chapter 37: People who have died long ago

"Did he succeed?" Wan Li was still a little nervous after all.

Master Long pointed in the direction of the sand table and said, "Bring me the bamboo tube first."

Wan Li knew not to rush when talking to these somewhat enigmatic people, but to follow their rhythm, so he had no choice but to walk over and pick up the small bamboo tube.

This small bamboo tube is green in color and is engraved with strange patterns. Its size just exceeds the size of the small wooden tower in the center of the sand table. After getting Ruan Zhan's signal just now, they covered the wooden tower with the bamboo tube, and Ruan Zhan responded to the situation and temporarily cut off the tower energy.

"Do you want to put the sand table away?" Master Wanli Jianlong carefully placed the bamboo tube in the wooden box he carried with him and asked hurriedly.

Master Long shook his head, "This sand table corresponds to the new town, just like the heart of the new town. The new town dies, the sand table dies, the new town lives, and the sand table lives. Now that the big thing has happened, it is gone It worked." He said and smiled happily, "Sure enough, there is no end to the problem. By chance, there is a way to solve it."

Wan Li couldn't help but look at the sand table again after hearing this.

He had been staring at it just now, and he was already aware of the changes in the landscape above. It was only because he was overly concerned about the safety of Ruan Zhan and Xiaoxia that he wanted to confirm Ruan Zhan's victory from Master Long's mouth. This is a psychological of others’ affirmative behavior. At this moment, hearing what Master Long said, I finally felt relieved.

On the sand table, the messy streets have become clean and tidy, the water in the dish has turned turbid and clear again, and the small wooden tower is standing there safely. It is obvious that everything is back to normal.

Now he admires Master Long to the point of admiration. Master Long is different from Ruan Zhan. If Ruan Zhan is a killing general on the battlefield, Master Long is like a rear strategist who plans strategies and arranges troops. He has no killing skills or physical strength, but he can set up such a clever Feng Shui formation, and he can also create the heart of the new town like a sand table, which makes him feel very amazing!

From the moment he met Master Long, he had never seen the old man smile. He thought that this master could not smile. But from the moment they began to cooperate with Ruan Zhan's actions, Master Long always smiled. His smile contained understanding, appreciation, and approval. In short, it was all positive information.

Shortly after the blue electric sparks flashed in the air, first the small wooden tower stopped shaking, and Master Long said that the resentment surrounding the tower had dissipated; after a while, the water in the water dish began to shake, and an appearance appeared on the wooden tower. After feeling the **** atmosphere, Master Long said that Ruan Zhan was fighting hard. At that time, his expression was serious, as if he had been feeling something carefully. It was not until the time came for the bamboo tube to cover the wooden tower that he breathed a sigh of relief. After that, the bamboo tube began to shake, and Master Long ordered him to take off the bamboo tube and release it. Tower energy.

"Smart boy, these three steps are good!" Master Long muttered to himself.

"That means he won!" Wan Li was also very happy, "Why didn't you tell me directly? I'm not sure."

Master Long smiled again and shrank into the tree nest.

It was close to noon at this time, and the sun was relatively strong. Master Long seemed to be extremely afraid of the sun, and hid in the shade of a tree, with the black umbrella always covering his head. Wan Li really wanted to ask him what kind of disease he had, why he was so afraid of the sun, and wanted to tell him that using a black umbrella was actually not very effective in shading the sun, but he always felt that Master Long was weird, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Master Long stood deep in the shade of the tree, his face even paler. He opened the wooden box he carried with him, put the small bamboo tube in, then slowly took out a pair of black gloves and a transparent water bottle, and then handed the wooden box that he had never left his body to Wan Li.

Wan Li was stunned and caught it mechanically.

"This is for your friend." Master Long said.

"Azhan?"

"Some fun things, I hope he will find it interesting!" Master Long looked forward with empty eyes, and handed the water bottle to Wan Li, "Pour this bottle of talisman water on the sand table."

"Pour on the sand table?" Wan Li repeated, feeling a little confused. Master Long is not going to destroy this sandbox, is he? Although the resentful spirits in the new town have been reintroduced and the sand table is no longer useful, wouldn't it be a pity to destroy such a magical thing?

"Do you really want to do this?"

"I said, this is the heart of the new town. I originally made it so that I could guard the Feng Shui formation in the new town in my stone house. Now I believe that your friends will take care of the town. "It's something." Master Long paused, obviously feeling a little reluctant, "However, since its mission has been completed, it should be destroyed, otherwise it will cause greater harm if it is used by people with ulterior motives."

"But - okay!" Wan Li didn't try to persuade him anymore, turned around and sprinkled the talisman water on the sand table.

The Talisman Water is colorless and odorless, but like strong acid, it corrodes and melts the sand table quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sand table, including the water dish and the wooden tower, turned into a pile of ordinary sand, merging with the ground.

Master Long sighed and put on the gloves seriously.

For a moment, Wan Li suddenly had a bad premonition. I always feel that the joy of victory has not yet been tasted, and Master Long seems to be making a will.

"What should we do next?" He has completely regarded Master Long as his own.

"Next step?" A wry smile appeared on Master Long's lips, "I'm afraid I can't help with the next step, you have to rely on yourselves."

"Then where are you going?"

"I want to wait for someone and then go back."

Wan Li wants to ask Master Long where he is going back to? But before he could ask, Master Long said, "It's not over yet! So you asked me if your friend won, but I didn't answer you. Because he just won one round. If he can't hold on, , it is possible to lose all the chips in the next round, and even his life and everyone’s life!”

"You mean - Sima Nan?"

"It turns out his name is Sima Nan." Master Long murmured and repeated, "I will not be wronged if he is killed in such hands."

"Mie? You mean-" Wan Li was a little surprised, but seeing Master Long's determined look, he immediately said decisively, "Then let's leave quickly before Sima Nan finds this place!"

"You can't hide what's coming. He's been looking for me for a long time, much earlier than you." A smile appeared on Master Long's lips, and he looked a little proud, "But I hid it well, and he didn't You are smart and have never been able to find me."

"Wouldn't it be that I lured him to find you? No, I can't let you be implicated because of our affairs. I must protect you and leave!" Wan Li said and stepped forward to pull Master Long, but he did not pull him. When he reached Master Long's arm, he saw his own hand passing through Master Long's body. He was so horrified that his next sentence choked in his throat.

"You——You——"

"Yes, I am a ghost." Master Long nodded, "The cold entity you touch, the heat and breath you feel, and the shadow you see are all illusions I passed on to you. Now I have no strength I have controlled these illusory things. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't scare you. However, you are a bold boy, I'm afraid you are more surprised than scared!"

Wan Li was stunned for a long time, too surprised to speak.

No wonder he couldn't feel any weight when he pulled Master Long on the cart. No wonder his face was so pale and he was so afraid of the sun! It turned out that it was not a skin disease, but because he had died a long time ago. Thinking about it, it must be very difficult for him to show up in broad daylight as a spirit body. In addition, he had to cooperate with Ruan Zhan to seal the tower, so he couldn't persist and revealed his true body in front of him!

"When did you-"

"You should know that what my nephew did is too unethical. But he is the only descendant of my Yuan family. When my eldest brother passed away, he left it to me. I really can't leave him alone." Long. The master spoke calmly, as if he was telling a story rather than talking about his own affairs, "I couldn't see it at the time, and I didn't understand that 'killing people to pay for life, and paying debts for money' is the way of the world. If you owe someone else, sooner or later It will be repaid, but the guarantee cannot be guaranteed."

"Is this why you are doing this?"

"That's right. Although I want to resolve the resentment, from the bottom of my heart I still want to help my nephew out of trouble. This is my selfishness and my debt. I can only repay it with my life. Didn't I tell you? ? I am not born with good abilities, and no matter how I practice, I cannot reach the highest level, so when I tried my best to calm these one hundred and seventy-three innocent souls and set up that Feng Shui formation, my life was exhausted."

"Master Dragon——"

"There's nothing to complain about." Master Long interrupted Wan Li, "I owe him money for saving my nephew, so I have to pay it back with my life, which couldn't be more fair. It's just that I only have one life, and I can't repay that. One hundred and seventy-three people! Therefore, I can't live in peace even after I die. I can only stay in that stone house and defend the formation with my remaining spiritual energy. Ten years have passed, and there is only a little difference! I am telling you this now, not for other reasons. Yes, I just want you to know that no matter what you see, you have to understand that this is the price I should pay and it is what I am willing to do. No matter what the result is, it means relief to me."

"What did you predict?" Although the time we spent together was short, Wan Li had a good impression of Master Long. Now his tone sounded like the next situation would be very unfavorable to him, which Wan Li couldn't accept. "Is Sima Nan looking for you?"

"He's been here a long time ago. It's a pity that he hasn't been able to break into the formation I set up." When talking about his formation, Master Long couldn't help but feel proud under any circumstances. "He's been wandering around outside for a long time, probably. It is already known that the traps he set in the new town were filled by others. Now he has to deal with the children inside, and I am afraid he will have to do it himself!"

"Array?" Wan Li looked around and found nothing unusual except for a mess of footprints on the ground and strange things stuck around. But then I thought about it, since he was once trapped in the formation in the mountain forest late at night, if Master Long hadn't let him in, he might still be running around inside, so it's not surprising that Master Long made Sima Nan unable to find Bei.

In the past, he didn't believe in things like formations. He always felt that this statement was too mysterious and unbelievable. Although he had heard of this kind of thing in college, it was said that the ruins of the Tianmen Array set up by Mu Guiying were still there, and many people still couldn't figure out the mystery using modern scientific and technological means, but he still didn't really believe it and just felt that Incredibly, the scene he witnessed now has left him in doubt.

There are too many wonderful things in this world, and too much great and magical knowledge, which cannot be fully understood by the knowledge currently possessed by humans!

"Boy, he is not like you. He can break this formation. It is just a matter of time. In fact, according to my guess, he is almost there!" Master Long smiled. For a moment, Wan Li felt that he was somewhat kind, and couldn't bear that the old man had to suffer a blow even after his death because of his selfish mistakes ten years ago.

"I'm not afraid of him." Wan Li gritted his teeth, "Even if he is more powerful than the King of Heaven, I'm not afraid. This is called 'I can beat him to death, but not scare him to death'. I will fight with him today, and I will never do it. Let him hurt you. After all, it was me who led him to you. If I didn’t look for you, he wouldn’t have come!”

Master Long shook his head and said, "This is my ending. I already know it, or there may be a plan somewhere."

Wan Li was still arguing, but Master Long waved his hand and his expression turned serious.

He listened carefully and then waved decisively to Wan Li.

Wanli was unprepared, feeling numb all over his body, and fell to the ground with a thud, landing in the grass on the edge of the clearing. He wanted to speak, but could not. He just hugged the wooden box tightly with both hands, curled up into a ball, and lay on his side on the ground.

Because he was lying on the ground, he saw things that he couldn't see while standing. He originally thought that the strange things stuck on the ground had no rules, but now he found that they were arranged orderly in circles. Moreover, those small flags, small signs, and small stones were not what he saw when he was standing, but small human figures with clear facial features and different expressions. They held swords in their hands and looked like guards. appearance.

It turns out that these small wood carvings and small stone carvings are guarding the formation! It turns out that Master Long is really an amazing carving master! The little figures he made can look different from different angles!

Master Long is dead, how will Sima Nan deal with him? Do you want his old man to be reduced to ashes? He was just selfish for a moment, not to mention that he had been condemned by his conscience over the years and prayed for the evil spirits to eliminate disasters. Is it necessary to kill them all like this? Is this the way of heaven? How can there be such a ruthless way of heaven? !

"Give my things to your friend. If he doesn't want it, destroy it. It must not fall into the hands of evil people." Master Long said, "Good things may be used for bad purposes if they fall into the hands of good people." , let alone fall into the wrong hands? Also, there is a pamphlet for you, read it immediately after I leave. Be sure to remember it!"

Wan Li agreed, but still couldn't make a sound. He struggled desperately but could not move.

Crack - something seemed to be broken.

Then, Wan Li, who was lying on the ground, saw a pair of feet wearing designer leather shoes walking slowly into the grass. A voice sounded contemptuously but angrily, "Old guy, how dare you ruin my business! If you hide If you don't let me find you in your own mouse hole, I won't bother killing you. But I can't spare you today, because no one can offend me without dying."

It was Sima Nan’s voice.

"The boy in the town not only offended you, but also reportedly defeated you many times. Isn't he still alive?"

"He's about to die." Sima Nan smiled instead of being angry, even more threatening, "Go and clear the way for him first!"

"If you want to do it, do it quickly! Because I happen to be at my weakest." Master Long showed no sign of weakness, "But I won't open the way for that kid, the person I'm waiting for over there is you!"

"Oh?"

"I advise you, after dealing with me, quickly enter the town. If you don't take advantage of others' danger, you will still lose this time!"

Before he finished speaking, Master Long suddenly struck preemptively and rushed towards Sima Nan!

Wanli couldn't move or speak. He only heard a soft pop, like popping a balloon with a needle. Then, Master Long's figure disappeared, and only his clothes fell to the ground.
