"Have you heard the story about Zhuge Liang lighting a lamp at the five-foot-long distance to extend his life?" I asked Zhang Xuanyi.
"I've heard of it." Zhang Xuanyi said. "It is said that Zhuge Liang was seriously ill. Because his great work was not completed, he lit a lamp to prolong his life. Later, Weiyan entered the tent and extinguished the seven-star lamp, so Zhuge Liang died."
"But you said that Zhang Long's life was extended, so why does it have anything to do with extending his life?" Zhang Xuanyi asked me.
"Who did you borrow your life from?" I asked from my soul.
In this world, there is talk of longevity, but what it talks about is how to live a more nourishing life.
How much life a person has is determined by destiny just like luck.
You think you are lighting a lamp to extend your life because your life should not be cut off. How is that possible?
Zhuge Kongming in Wuzhangyuan lit a lamp to extend his life. He used the souls of seven people to make the wick. If the lamp does not go out for seven days, his life can be extended by one century, which is twelve years of life.
If you still don’t understand, let’s take myself as an example. I was beaten to death by my father with a hammer. In theory, I was already dead. Master used magic to gather my soul and tied my life to him. I What is consumed is his longevity.
Zhang Long used this method to extend his life, but he was used as someone else's wick.
"Little Master Jiu, is there any way to save Zhang Long?" Zhang Xuanyi asked me nervously.
It was obvious that he cared about Zhang Long's life.
"There is a way, but it's a little tricky." I said. "The life-extending lamp is also called the Seven-Star Lamp, but its real name is the Seven-Destroying Life-Destroying Lamp."
"You can't see it, so you don't know. When we came just now, Zhang Long had three red ghosts sitting on his body. This proves that he has been working as a wick for three days."
"Now, the fourth red-clothed ghost appears on Zhang Long's body. When all seven ghosts sit on Zhang Long's body, it is impossible for Daluo Jinxian to come down to earth and save his life."
"There are two ways. One is to imitate Wei Yan and extinguish Zhang Long's lamp. Those who continue to live will definitely suffer backlash."
"The second is to find the person who borrowed Zhang Long's life and eliminate this method of borrowing life."
"The two methods have different costs. I'll let you decide which one to choose, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Long is his nephew. I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. I can only make the decision with Zhang Xuanyi.
Regarding the backlash that the two methods will bear, Henry Zhang understands in his heart and does not need me to explain too much.
"The first one, I choose the first one." Henry Zhang opened his mouth, with some hatred in his words.
If it were me, I would choose the first option. Although the backlash would be greater, the other party would not feel comfortable either.
Besides, Zhang Long doesn't have much time. Now he has four ghosts sitting on him. When seven ghosts surround him, it will be Zhang Long's death.
Therefore, after all the calculations, Zhang Long only had more than two days, and there was no time to find the person behind the scenes.
"Little Master Jiu, the first method won't embarrass me, right?" Zhang Xuanyi asked me.
"No, after all, your nephew will bear the consequences of this matter, and it will have no impact on me." I spoke truthfully. "It's just that you have to think carefully about how to end this matter."
I can stay out of this matter at any time, but once I do it, there is no room for maneuver.
If the other party can use this method to extend his life, not to mention how powerful the gentleman around him is, if he can invite a gentleman who can light a seven-star lantern, it means that this person himself is not easy to mess with.
With Zhang Xuanyi’s ability, it would be difficult to suppress him.
"You don't need to worry about this, Xiao Jiuye. I have been involved in the world for so many years. Even though I am blind and lame now, I still have ways to protect myself."
"Zhang Long grew up under my hand. I raised him as my own son. No matter who wants to harm him, I will have to pay the price."
Since Henry Zhang said so, I no longer have any worries.
Just to pull out the wick of Zhang Long, I have to work hard.
“Where is the place with the heaviest yin in the entire county?” I asked Zhang Xuanyi.
Henry Zhang was puzzled. "What is Little Master Jiu doing here?"
"Zhang Long is currently burdened with four evil ghosts. If he wants to stay out of the situation, he must find something powerful to replace him, and he must not be discovered by these evil ghosts." I said. "If you replace it with a human, you still have to save a life and find a powerful ghost to replace it. Not only will the other party's soul not be scattered, but it will also devour these evil ghosts to strengthen itself."
It's just that if you want to find such a powerful thing, you have to go to a place with strong Yin energy.
"I know where the yin is strong." The village chief interrupted at this time. "The abandoned department store over there in the development zone, let alone our county, there is no place more evil than this in the entire city."
When Henry Zhang heard what the village chief said, he nodded in agreement. "If you want to say that there is a place with strong yin energy and evil energy, it has to be this place."
"Originally, this department store was the center of our county. Later, a fire broke out and many people were burned to death. After that, the place began to become unstable and became more and more evil."
"I went there once a few years ago and was asked to leave without even entering. The city also sent Mr. Yin Yang to come and see it. When he came out of the building, he went crazy."
"Since then, this place has become famous. People around it have stayed away. The original center has now developed into a wasteland."
"This place is very evil. Xiao Jiuye, you are still injured. Why don't you move to another place." Zhang Xuanyi said worriedly.
According to what Zhang Xuanyi said, there must be a ghost inside this department store.
In other places, the help might be too weak and would not be of much use.
"I'm measured."
"While I'm away, you'd better not stay in the ward for a long time. Although these ghosts are sitting on Zhang Long's body, the yin energy on their bodies still has an impact on you."
When I came out of the ward, I happened to meet Su Wan coming back from cleaning his eyes.
"Brother, where are you going?" Su Wan stopped me.
"Go out for a while."
"I'll go too." Su Wan caught up.
"No, that place is dangerous." I said, pretending to be angry.
But Jiangsu and Anhui didn't like me at all. "It's precisely because of the danger that I'm going along."
Well, this damn girl doesn't act according to common sense at all.
"You can go, but you have to listen to me." I said. "You will do whatever I ask you to do. If I don't let you do anything, you can't be a scumbag."
"Okay, I promise you." Su Wan said readily.
After coming out of the hospital, Su Wan drove me to a department store that almost everyone in the county knew.
Henry Zhang was still too cautious in his description of this department store.
When Su Wan drove over, there were almost no people in the area of almost two kilometers. Except for the ruins of the walls, there were overgrown weeds.
Sitting in the car and looking at the department store from a distance, I knew how serious the problem was here.
