Transcendent Dawn

"Brother Stone, is it done?"

Seeing the figure disappear, Xu Changqing asked excitedly.

"Well...it's done."

Li Shitou slowly withdrew from the square, holding a broken piece of black cloth in his hand, only the size of a palm: "Look... this is what it left behind, it should be a 'strange thing'!"

"This square is dangerous...not to mention the palace inside."

He stared vigilantly in the direction of the palace, and saw the murals of evil spirits like giant mountains.

They are green-faced and fangs, or red-haired and ferocious... like scenes of hell, after staring at them for a long time, you can even feel the eyes of those ghosts moving with them, as if they are watching outsiders.

"Grandpa, take a look!"

Xu Changqing didn't pay attention, and grabbed the palm-sized piece of cloth in his hand, and there were some tadpole patterns embroidered with gold thread on it. He took a few glances and suddenly shivered: "It's so cold..."

"It is indeed a 'strange thing'. Be careful. If a living person holds it for more than an hour, their blood will gradually freeze to death. If it is held by a soul for more than a day, there is a high probability that their soul will fly away..."

Sulu reminded: "Its abilities should be related to 'laughter', 'motivating emotions', and 'killing souls'...but you don't need it, you just need to enshrine it in the ancestral hall, don't get involved with it." If people touch it, it can guarantee safety, and use its breath to frighten away monsters and rebuild defenses."

"Very good!"

Xu Changqing clenched his fists: "Shitou, you are so powerful that you can even deal with ghosts. Come back with me! The village needs you very much..."

"Do not……"

Li Shitou shook his head: "That's not a real ghost, it can only be regarded as the legacy of the other party... And, since I was promoted to [Ghost Escort], I feel that I should stay here and try to go to the human world as little as possible. Otherwise, Maybe in order to survive, I'll have to suck people's souls and become a ghost! It's easy for me!"

"Boy, tell him that his choice is correct. There are many secrets hidden in the underworld, such as this place! But don't rush to explore before your cultivation level is insufficient..."

Su Lu reminded Xu Changqing in his heart: "From this piece of 'strange things', I figured out another method, which should be the follow-up of [Ghost Escort], named [Impermanence]! It's just that I still need to calculate one or two... …you asked him to be patient and keep in touch.”

"oh oh!"

Xu Changqing quickly repeated: "Brother Shitou, even the old man said so, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, I really don't plan to explore this place in the near future."

Li Shitou nodded.

cluck cluck!

Suddenly, Xu Changqing heard the sound of a rooster crowing.

His expression changed, and he said quickly: "I'm leaving, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Li Shitou solemnly clasped his fists, watching a red thread emerge from behind Xu Changqing, pulling him up slowly, and disappearing into the darkness.

After a long time, he walked back step by step, his face became extremely quiet, like a thousand years of black rock, only a low voice echoed in the corridor:

"[Impermanence]?"

...

The world, Xiaozhai Village, thatched cottages.

The morning light is faint, and the rooster sings and the world is white.

Xu Changqing opened his eyes and saw the big rooster crowing: "One night passed like this? It's really like a dream."

He raised his hand and saw the black piece of cloth he was holding tightly.

Holding it in your hand at this moment is like holding a piece of ice with your bare hands in winter! The bone-piercing chill continued to spread on his palm, almost causing him to lose all feeling in his entire arm.

"It hurts people more..."

Xu Changqing didn't dare to delay, and used the simple method taught by his grandfather to directly wrap another layer of cloth on the outside. After no direct contact, he felt much better.

He went out and went straight to the village chief's house.

The village chief's house is not bad in Xiaozhai Village. In addition to the three adobe houses, there is a yard surrounded by fences.

"Old village head! Old village head!"

Xu Changqing kept knocking on the door with a hurried voice.

"It's Xiao Qingzi..."

An old woman opened the door with a sad face: "What else?"

"I want to see the village chief!"

Xu Changqing walked into the courtyard and saw that the old village head was having a meal. On the wooden table were several corn buns and a plate of pickles.

In this village, being able to eat a dry breakfast is already the treatment of the upper class.

"It's Xiao Qingzi, come... to eat! Only when you are full will you have the strength to go on your way."

The old village head greeted with a bleak smile.

"No! I won't go!"

Xu Changqing took a deep breath: "Village Chief, I have something to say!"

"What's up?"

"It's not convenient here!"

The old village chief glanced at Xu Changqing in surprise, but seeing that he was not much different from ordinary people, he pondered for a while: "Come with me!"

He took Xu Changqing to his room: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"look!"

Xu Changqing opened the cloth bag, revealing the black cloth inside.

"Hiss... this is..."

The old village head touched it with his finger, he took a deep breath, immediately closed the window vigilantly, and then closed the door, staring at the black cloth in disbelief: "A magic weapon?"

"This is... something that has been handed down from my family. I don't know if it is true. I went to dig it out yesterday, village chief, take a look..."

Xu Changqing said seriously.

"Let me see……"

The old village chief grabbed the black cloth with his hands and shivered again: "It's so cold! It's so cold!"

While he was trembling, a smile appeared on his face: "Okay... okay, the village is saved, Xiao Qingzi, are you going to give it to the village?"

"nature!"

Xu Changqing said sternly: "The village has raised me for many years, and I always know the favor!"

"Good boy!"

The old village head nodded again and again: "This thing is going to save lives."

"This is my family heirloom. I will hand it over to the village. No one will come to snatch it." Xu Changqing asked worriedly.

"Dare he?"

The old village head glared angrily: "The magic weapon before was given by the city when the village was built. Now that the adults want to take it back, we have nothing to say, but this one, if Zhou Quan dares to move it, we dare to work hard... ...There is a kind of him who washed us with blood, let's see if the city can let him go!"

To be honest, if you want to massacre a village, a small patrol inspection can't cover the sky with one hand, and it's almost the same with the seventh-rank school captain of the town demon division.

But at that level, there is no need to make so many murders for a mere magic weapon.

"I can rest assured that."

Xu Changqing patted his chest.

"Even so, this matter must be kept secret." The old village head showed a firm expression: "I can only tell a few backbones, and it can be kept secret for a while..."

"It's all up to the village head to arrange."

Xu Changqing walked out of the door while being escorted by the old village chief. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he couldn't help letting out a long breath.

"The burden in my heart has been put down?" Sulu's voice sounded in his heart.

"Let it go!"

"Then next, we must work hard to practice."

"I will, I want to avenge the village... That Zhou Quan is a hidden danger after all, and cannot be kept! And that Immortal Corpse Dissection... One day, I will seek justice for everyone!"

Xu Changqing clenched his fists.
