Outside the shrine, the heavy snow had stopped, and the ground seemed to be inlaid with a layer of silver.
In the shrine, Cao Yi and the dead Xu Keming sat opposite each other.
If people from the outside world saw this scene, their eyes would fall out of shock.
Cao Yi looked at Xu Keming and nodded with satisfaction.
A few minutes ago, Xu Keming was resurrected by him using the Yang-Returning Forbidden Curse and the lightning strike wood he specially found during his time at Hangu Pass for future use.
Although the process was not as smooth as last time, it was still successful in the end.
"Uncle Master, am I not dead?"
Xu Keming, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but speak.
He remembered that when he was rescuing someone, he was kicked, suffered leg cramps, and drowned. Thinking back on that coldness, that despair, that feeling before he died, it made his spine shiver.
Cao Yi briefly explained the method of saving people.
Xu Keming was stunned. There was actually a spell to resurrect the dead in this world.
Even though it was just resurrecting someone who had died not long ago, it was terrifying enough.
There are countless rich people, high-ranking officials, and crazy people who have spread the news.
No matter how much money or power you have, it is nothing compared to a few more years of life.
The guy from Ao Island is 98 years old. In order to survive, he spends hundreds of millions a year on brain-boosting injections.
"Remember, don't touch the fire in the future"
Cao Yi reminded.
Although people resurrected by wooden methods are much stronger than those resurrected by earth methods, they still cannot change their limitations.
"remember"
Xu Keming nodded like garlic.
Nothing in this world is perfect, let alone something like this.
"After you died, well, after your accident, something happened..."
Cao Yi briefly explained what happened recently.
I heard what Cheng Wan and Jiang Haoran said this morning when they went to the jewelry store to pick up the new batch of precious medicinal materials.
Xu Keming's expression changed a few times and he said: "From now on, my nephew can only hide and cannot see anyone."
As a modern Taoist priest of high moral character and a jade expert, he has many friends, disciples and grandchildren.
Letting him hide for the rest of his life and not being able to see anyone would be even worse than killing him.
"You have two choices. One, there is a small island six miles to the northwest. Pindao will set up a tracking array, and you can enjoy your old age there. Two, you can go directly to the government, and the people from the government will refute the rumors for you. After all, few people have actually seen your body."
Cao Yi gave two choices with a calm expression.
Xu Keming was in a dilemma. What was the difference between the first choice and going to jail? In the past, he could still do it. In recent years, he has been involved too much in the world of mortals. Of course, if he could practice with Cao Yi, he would have no problem, but not Nope.
The second option is to leave yourself in the hands of the government. You don’t know if anything bad will happen to you.
"Are you afraid of being sliced?"
Seeing that Xu Keming remained silent for a long time, Cao Yi had a smile on his face.
"Well"
Xu Keming was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "That's not a big deal, I'm just a little worried."
"Don't worry, the government will take you into custody."
Cao Yi's tone was affirmative.
In a situation like Xu Keming's, many people would go crazy. Coupled with Xu Keming's identity as a Taoist priest, it is easy for people to think of that.
"Send it up?"
Xu Keming thought for a while and nodded. There is a high possibility that the government will do this to him.
"By the way, how did you die?"
Cao Yi was a little curious.
None of the people who fell into the water died, but the person who saved them died, which is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it. Xu Keming doesn't look like the kind of person who cares about everything.
"That day, when my nephew saved the fourth person..."
Xu Keming told the story of saving the last person.
"It turned out to be him. No wonder he stood up for you later..."
Cao Yi told Zhang Shan about standing up for Xu Keming and then changing his words.
Xu Keming said nothing.
"Actually, apart from any other reasons, there are also benefits to the government doing this. It is not a good thing for the public to know about this ugly side of human nature, especially for young people."
Cao Yi said calmly.
Xu Keming nodded: "Not bad"
"No wonder Zhang Shan's black spirit is still there in the video."
Cao Yi returned to the topic just now.
"Black energy?"
Xu Keming looked at Cao Yi doubtfully.
"Black energy is..."
Cao Yi briefly introduced the art of looking at qi.
Xu Keming looked at Cao Yi with admiration again.
"Without further delay, you go find the government now."
Cao Yi turned around and looked at the sky outside and said.
Xu Keming said oh, stood up, and cupped his hands. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will keep the secret."
Cao Yi said nothing.
Xu Keming cupped his hand again and left.
After a while, Cao Yi's voice came from the shrine: "Sooner or later."
At night, ruthless darkness envelopes the world, and cold waves lap at the shore.
The world is filled with coldness and loneliness.
Suddenly, a few fireworks appeared in the distance.
Cao Yi, who was floating on leaves about twenty meters above the shore, shook his head. It was too quiet during the New Year this year.
After waiting for two hours, the number of people setting off fireworks can be counted on one hand.
Suddenly, the purple, gold and red gourd on his waist moved.
Huh!
Could it be that Xiaotian's second transformation was successful?
Cao Yi opened the lid and thought.
A small white snake, only the size of a palm, flew out with the clear air.
Immediately afterwards, the little white snake quickly grew in size.
In the blink of an eye, a giant white python about ten meters long appeared and fell into the lake.
"Dog python!"
Cao Yi blurted out.
There was a splash, the water splashed, and Xiaotian turned into a giant python, playing very happily in the water.
Not afraid of the cold lake water in winter.
"Xiao Tian"
Cao Yi tried to shout.
There was a splash of water, and Xiaotian's huge head poked over, his bloody mouth half-open, as if he was laughing!
“The smile is really ugly”
Cao Yi couldn't help but say.
Like an angry child, Xiao Tian plunged into the water and swam toward the distance. He jumped out of the water from time to time, tearing apart the silent and cold night.
Cao Yi raised his eyebrows and walked to the boat on the sand beside him. With a thought, the boat flew into the water like a water dragon, creating a beautiful wave.
Cao Yi jumped up and landed lightly on the boat.
The power of the vegetation circulated, and the boat without any power cut through the thorns and waves, chasing towards the place where Xiaotian left.
...Where Xu Keming's accident happened, there was a small boat floating on it, with two people squatting on it, one was Zhang Shan and the other Wang Shouhai, burning paper money.
"Taoist Priest, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor, so don't come to me."
Wang Shouhai kept mumbling while burning paper money.
Zhang Shan's face turned ugly when he heard this.
If the Taoist priest comes back, what will happen to him, the murderer?
Suddenly, the water waves not far away rolled violently, and it seemed that something big jumped out of the water.
"what?"
Wang Shouhai's expression changed drastically and he almost sat down.
"Go quickly"
Zhang Shan quickly clicked the switch in shock.
There was a sound of engine, and the ship flew out like flying.
About ten meters away, Xiaotian emerged from the water as if he had discovered something interesting. He opened his mouth wide, smiled, and chased after him.
