You are ruthless, really helpless

Chapter 13

The housekeeper couldn't believe his ears for a moment: "You, what did you say?"

Jiang Li also realized that what he said was a bit outrageous, but he said it all, so he could only try his best to make things right: "...my first husband is from the Shen family, named Shen Jiyun."

Butler: "I know that."

Jiang Li raised his hand and pointed, "His name is also Shen Jiyun."

Butler: "So?"

Jiang Li looked calm: "So he is my dead husband who came back to life."

housekeeper:"……"

Logically, there seems to be no problem.

But is something not quite right?

Before the butler had time to think about it, he heard a dull sound coming from the coffin.His face changed, he didn't care about so much, and started to chase people away: "Hurry up and leave!"

Seeing this, Jiang Li quickly took the opportunity to escape.

When he walked out of the main courtyard, he saw a group of people rushing over in a hurry.

Some are disciples of the Shen family, and some are Taoist monks.

They surrounded the main courtyard, the Taoist priests set up an altar, and the monks muttered words. The two factions are in the same scene, which makes people feel absurd.

Jiang Li wanted to laugh, but felt that it was not suitable for his current status, so he pursed the corners of his lips and suppressed his smile.He wanted to divert his attention, turned his head sideways, and met a pair of dark and quiet eyes.

Shen Jiyun: "Dead husband?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li: "...uh."

With Jiang Li's temperament, lying was a casual thing, but now seeing Shen Jiyun's beautiful appearance, unexpectedly felt embarrassed.

His eyes drifted for a moment: "It's an expedient measure."

Shen Jiyun frowned slightly, somewhat incomprehensible.

There is no need for detours and expediency in this matter at all, just come directly to the manager of the Shen family and explain the ins and outs.

If the Shen family doesn't believe it, it's okay to do things on their own.

After all, in this world, no one can stop his footsteps.

Jiang Li pinched his earlobe and changed the subject: "Did you find anything?"

Shen Jiyun pondered for a moment: "We'll talk about it in the evening."

……

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

During the day, there was no one in the Shen family, and at night, it was even more dead silent.

The wind blows.

The paper lanterns under the eaves swayed, and the shadows falling were distorted and eerie.

Jiang Li walked in along the corner and found that there were still people in the main hall.

The man was dressed in sackcloth, kneeling in front of the coffin, trembling, and muttering nonchalantly: "There is a wronged person and a debtor, old man, I am not from the Shen family, so please don't look for me..."

Jiang Li listened.

It is estimated that something like this happened, the Shen family did not dare to come to watch the night, so they let the servant come over.

It's not easy to act when someone is there.

Jiang Li thought for a second, picked up the stone on the ground, flicked it with his fingers, the stone hit the coffin, and made a "boom".

It sounds like the person in the coffin cheated on the corpse.

The boy shivered, and was so frightened that his head broke out in cold sweat, he burned paper in the brazier tremblingly.While burning, he muttered: "Grandpa, you can go at ease, the maids in the mansion with gold, silver and treasures are all ready for you, and I will burn another eighteen-room wife and concubine for you..."

But not only did these words have no effect, the knocking sound inside the coffin became more and more violent, as if the people inside were about to break out of the coffin.

The boy finally couldn't bear it anymore, kicked over the brazier, and ran out rolling and crawling.

Jiang Li came out from the darkness, facing Shen Jiyun's disapproving gaze, he put away his smile and expressed his innocence: "I only threw a stone."

Behind.

The impact in the coffin became more and more intense, and eventually even the coffin lid was overturned, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Jiang Li's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "I really didn't do it this time!"

As soon as the words fell, I felt a gust of wind blowing past my eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, Shen Jiyun was already standing in front of the coffin.

Jiang Li followed.

I saw an old man wearing a shroud laying in the coffin. He was obviously a dead man, but now his muscles were moving and beating, as if he was about to come back to life.

After about half a cup of tea, the figure of "Hohoo" came out of the old man's throat, and he sat up straight with his hands level.

He turned his head stiffly, looking for something, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Jiyun.

The old man's eyes were shattered, his mouth was opened like a wild beast, and he rushed over swiftly.

Jiang Li turned his face to the side, a little reluctant to watch the next scene.

Sure enough, a moment later, a shrill scream came from beside him.

Then there was a "bang", and the old man hit the wall like a kite with a broken string.

click-

The old man tilted his head and his neck limply fell to one side.

However, he was physically disabled and strong, still struggling to get up, turned around and ran away.

under night.

A ray of cold light flashed across the old man's chest.

The old man gritted his teeth and vomited out a piece of scarlet flesh.

The piece of meat fell to the ground and was still wriggling, while the old man completely lost his vitality, emitting a strong rancid smell from his body, as if he had been dead for a long time.

Jiang Li looked down.

This piece of meat looks familiar, it comes from the same source as the ganoderma lucidum in the old mansion.

Presumably, the old man continued his life by taking the elixir made from Ganoderma lucidum. After the old Taoist died, the elixir could not be supplied, so he died naturally.

People died, but the meat Ganoderma lucidum did not die.

Driven by the Ganoderma lucidum, the old man "resurrected from the dead" every night, and went out to look for the Shen family as food to support the Ganoderma lucidum in his body.

A coldness flashed in Shen Jiyun's eyes, and as he waved his hand down, the Ganoderma lucidum let out a "squeak" and completely turned into nothingness.

Just as the old man calmed down here, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.

A group of people rushed to hold torches, the leader was the butler, followed by the boy who burned the paper.

Seeing the mess in the main courtyard, the butler first showed an angry expression, and then he was shocked when he saw the old man's body lying on the ground.

There was an uproar behind him.

"How is this going?"

"Why did the old man escape?"

"First, the old man passed away, and then the eldest son died again. People from the clan died suddenly one after another. So many people died, did they provoke something that shouldn't be provoked..."

The butler had accumulated a lot of prestige in the Shen family, so he scolded: "Shut up!"

The others stopped communicating, but their eyes met and they were still conveying news.

The butler came to the old man's body, raised his head, met two figures, and was astonished: "Why are you still here?"

Jiang Li had already thought up his speech, and was about to speak, but Shen Jiyun was a step faster than him, saying: "You choose a day to bury him, and there will be no incidents of sudden death in the future."

The expression on the housekeeper's face changed: "You..."

Shen Jiyun knew that he might not believe it, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper looked at this side, then at the other side, and gradually understood everything: "I see..." His eyes lit up, "You are his dead husband who came back from the dead, and our old man has also come back to life After a time or two, then... you will naturally be able to solve the hidden danger of the old man."

Shen Jiyun: "..."

The butler immediately believed the words.

After all, he is a person who has been resurrected from the dead, so it is normal to learn some methods of the underworld.

Besides, because of the matter of the old lady, the Shen family is in a state of panic, and people's hearts are fluctuating. It's good that the matter can be resolved. Who cares how it is resolved?

The housekeeper ordered someone to move the old man's body back into the coffin, and hurriedly invited the current head of the Shen family.

The person in charge was an overly shrewd man with a moustache, probably because he believed the housekeeper's words, and was extremely respectful to Shen Jiyun.

He took out a box of gold, silver and treasures as a reward, and then made indirect remarks: "What should I do if this happens again in the future?"

Gold and silver streamers flicker, charming eyes.

Shen Jiyun didn't even look at it, and said indifferently: "Scatter the family wealth, do good deeds frequently, and keep the family stable."

Jiang Li rubbed his cheeks with his fingertips, and silently curled his lips.

These are good words, but... others may not be able to listen to them.

All disasters come from the word "greedy".

Greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for money.

If you are not greedy, you will be safe and sound, but if you continue to indulge in it, no one will be able to save the name of this family.

Hearing this, the face of the person in charge changed again and again. He didn't know if he had listened to the words, but he still politely sent the two of them to the door of Shen's house.

Before leaving, Jiang Li glanced at the box full of gold and silver treasures.

The person in charge was very kind and offered the box with both hands.

Jiang Li didn't take much, he only took one pearl inside.

Pearls are round and clear, they come from the deep sea and are very valuable.

He twisted his fingers and raised them to his eyes.

A beam of light passed through the pearl and landed in the pupils of the eyes, exuding a colorful luster.

At this time, a flat voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "In the future, don't lie and deceive people again."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then put down the pearl in his hand, not knowing why.

Shen Jiyun was strict and rigid: "Treacherous and cunning deeds are not done by a gentleman."

Jiang Li clenched his fingers tightly, Pearl stiffened and felt a little pain.He turned his face sideways, the wind blew the end of his eyes itchy, and he couldn't stop the glistening tears, his tone was weak and flat: "I know...you look down on me..."

Shen Jiyun couldn't help thinking whether what he said was too blunt, and after a moment of silence, he explained: "...that's not the case."

Jiang Li didn't listen, and said to himself: "But I'm not from a famous family and upright, and secondly, I have low cultivation and aptitude, if not..." He choked up a bit, "How could I have survived until now?"

The teardrops hanging from his eyelashes seemed to be falling but not falling. Shen Jiyun seemed to be confused, and subconsciously walked forward, wanting to help wipe them away.

Jiang Li suddenly took a few steps back, widening the distance between the two of them, holding his head high, trying to protect himself with such a sharp posture.

He said: "Since you look down on me so much, it's time to part ways."

After saying this, he turned around and ran away in a panic.

Shen Jiyun didn't have time to think deeply, so he stretched out his hand to stop him.

Jiang Li didn't want others to see his cowardly and tearful appearance, so he kept hiding.

Shen Jiyun was afraid of accidentally injuring someone, so he directly pressed his thin shoulder, locking him firmly in the crook of his arm.

Jiang Li was wrapped in the cold breath, his legs softened, and he leaned directly into Shen Jiyun's arms. Even so, he still stubbornly said, "I'm a villain, I'm not a gentleman..."

Shen Jiyun felt a burst of moisture from his shoulders. He had never been so close to a person before, and his movements froze: "I didn't look down on you."

Jiang Li pursed his lips and remained silent.

Shen Jiyun: "I know you have experienced a lot of difficulties, but such bluffing and deceiving is not the right way after all." He paused, "In the future... there will be me."

All the promises were simply skipped, and only one sentence remained: "With me here, you don't have to do this."

Jiang Li was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "...OK."

Shen Jiyun let go of his hand and didn't say any more: "Let's go."

Jiang Li lowered his eyelids, and there was a red mark on the palm of his hand, which was very clear on his white palm.He stared at it for a moment, then raised his hand casually.

The pearl landed on the water surface, making several floats and ripples in circles.Finally, it sank in the middle of the lake and disappeared without a trace.

There were still tears on his face, but there was a frivolous and sly smile on the corner of his lips.

……

Dawn broke.

The formation engraved on the bottom of the flying boat flickered, and it lifted the huge object into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, and heading straight to the sky.

After solving the Shen family's incident, Jiang Li and Shen Jiyun boarded the flying boat to Liucheng.

The realm of comprehension is vast, divided into five continents, eight sects, three floors, and nineteen cities.

Liucheng is one of the nineteen main cities, located in the north.

It is thousands of miles away from here, and it will take a lot of time to travel by airship.

Jiang Li stood on the deck of the flying boat, leaning on the railing, looking at the scenery.

The clouds below are rolling and relaxing, and there are thousands of rays of light falling down, colorful and beautiful.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I'm tired of watching it all the way.

Jiang Li looked away.

As soon as he turned around, Shen Jiyun came to his side at some point, and stood still: "We are going to Liucheng."

Jiang Li: "When..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the flying boat tremble heavily, and with a "thump", it fell down suddenly.

Jiang Li staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Shen Jiyun made a move to help stabilize his figure, and he just stood still.

Jiang Li climbed along the pole and directly hugged Shen Jiyun's arm.

Shen Jiyun looked over, and saw that the young man lowered his jaw, revealing a smooth nape, that spot was so white that it shone brighter than snow.

As soon as his gaze stopped, he quickly moved away.

After a while, the flying boat stopped in mid-air, but it was still some distance from the ground.

Jiang Li looked down: "How do we get down?"

Someone next to him heard his question and laughed loudly: "Of course I jumped off." As he spoke, he took the lead, jumped off the flying boat, and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

Jiang Li pursed his lips, his voice trembling: "I... I'm afraid of heights."

If the disciples of the Taiwangzong were acting and talking like this, Shen Jiyun would have overturned him with a sword and thrown him down, but facing the young man's appearance, he felt helpless in his heart, and said, "Close your eyes."

Jiang Li blinked, then closed his eyes meekly and trustingly.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and his other senses were more acute.

He felt the wind blowing past his ears, clouds passing through his fingertips, and a misty cold fragrance lingering.

But in an instant, another indifferent voice came from the side: "It's done."

Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes.

There is emerald green in front of you, the branches and leaves are tall and straight, and the sound of birds and insects is hidden.

Jiang Li: "Have you arrived in Liucheng yet?"

Shen Jiyun avoided meeting his eyes.

Originally, he was supposed to bring people to Liucheng, but for some reason, the boy's hair swayed in the wind, and when it brushed his cheeks, it brought an itchy feeling.

He was confused for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he had already deviated from his destination.

There is no need to repeat the cause and effect.

Shen Jiyun only said coldly: "Walk for a while, and we will be there."

Fortunately, Jiang Li didn't think too much, nodded and walked straight into the forest.

Pushing aside the shadows of the forest, the path winds.

A city can be vaguely seen standing between the mountains and abysses. The city wall is continuous and majestic. It is one of the nineteen main cities in the cultivation world.

Watch the mountain run dead horse.

Liu Cheng seemed to be close in front of his eyes, but in reality he was still some distance away.

Walking halfway, suddenly there was a panicked figure running over in front of him, as if some ghost was chasing him behind him.

The man let out a mess, his hair was fluffy and disheveled, his eyes were wide open, bloodshot all over his insides, he was already at the end of his strength, and he was running forward with only a breath in his chest.

When he saw Jiang Li, he said with difficulty, "Fellow Daoist...don't go to Liucheng, don't go..."

As soon as he said this, the energy in his mouth disappeared, and he fell limply on the ground, still muttering weakly, "They... are all crazy..."

Jiang Li asked: "Who?"

The man's lips opened and closed, trying to say something, but just as he uttered a syllable, a foul-smelling black liquid gushed out of his mouth, and then his body twitched, completely silent.
