Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 786

"Tell me your conditions and see if I can satisfy you." Li Teng answered the hanged man.

"You go to the back mountain. There is a Taoist temple at the top of the mountain. You go and destroy all the talismans and seals painted on the walls of the Taoist temple, and I will tell you everything I know." The Hanged Ghost stated his conditions.

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Li Teng sneered.

The condition of hanging the ghost is obviously to let him release the evil ghost.

With his current strength and the resources at his disposal, he didn't think he could compete head-on with Li Gui.

"Then let's change the conditions. You go to the Taoist temple at the head of the village, kill the old Taoist priest, and give me his head. Then I will answer whatever you ask." The Hanged Man was silent for a while and then spoke again. Finished.

"Impossible." Li Teng refused.

The old man in Taoist robes is an important NPC. Killing him like this will probably result in the plot mission being unable to be completed.

And Li Teng didn't think he had the strength to kill the old man in Taoist robes.

In this plot, apart from that, he is only a little bit more powerful than ordinary people, and he is much worse than the Taoist cultivators who have mastered various techniques.

His current strongest point, water arrows and the like, are only effective against ghosts.

Yesterday's fight with several young women only frightened them and did not cause any substantial harm to them...it didn't count that they made their bellies bigger, it was just an accident.

"Or, I will tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me that after I tell you everything, you will go to the back mountain and destroy all the talismans and seals painted on the wall of the Taoist temple at the top of the mountain." Hanged Ghost The conditions have been changed.

"Impossible." Li Teng shook his head.

"Okay, I'll give in one more step! I'll tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me that after I tell you everything I know, you will go to the Taoist temple at the head of the village and kill the old Taoist priest! "The Hanged Ghost changed the conditions again.

"Impossible." Li Teng refused again.

"You didn't make random promises about things you couldn't do. It seems that you are a person who keeps your word and promises." The Hanged Man seemed to be satisfied with Li Teng's answer.

"Of course!"

"Okay, then I will tell you my true conditions, and I will answer all your questions...all the questions I know the answers to, but if you are not embarrassed, please help me fulfill a last wish." The Hanged Ghost sighed. He took a breath and seemed to give in.

"I will consider it if it's not difficult." Li Teng agreed this time.

"go ahead."

"Okay, first question, are you and the female ghost in the back mountain together? What is your relationship? What happened to you?" Li Teng asked the questions he had thought about before.

"She and I were childhood sweethearts and we truly loved each other. However, just when we were talking about marriage, the evil forces from Lijia Village rushed into our village and forcibly snatched her away from me." The tone of the hanged ghost. It's full of desolation.

"Why did you hang yourself in the ancestral hall of Lijia Village?" Li Teng asked a second question.

"After she was killed, I sneaked over and tried to take away our child, but they found me. In a panic, I took my child and fled into the ancestral hall.

“When they were about to rush in and catch my daughter and me, they were blocked by a mysterious force.

“It was an ancestor of the Li family who appeared to stop them.

"This ancestor seems to know everything. He sympathizes with my experience and despises what his descendants have done. He uses his magic power to prevent those people from rushing in to harm me and my daughter.

“But he is hundreds of years old and his magic power is limited, so he cannot last long.

"When he left, he told me a way. He said that as long as I hanged on the tree in the ancestral hall, those people would seal the ancestral hall and prevent anyone from entering. Only in this way, they would not hurt me. daughter.

"My daughter was sealed in a coffin by him, in the wing over there. After being sealed, she will not grow up or die. As long as the seal of the coffin is opened, she will wake up. .

"My last wish is that after my soul is gone, I hope you can save my daughter, take her out of this village and protect her safety. Or, send her to her mother in the back mountains." said the Hanged Ghost. fulfilled his last wish.

"Why would those people seal up the ancestral hall and prevent people from entering if you hang yourself on the tree in the ancestral hall?" Li Teng asked another question.

"I don't know either. The ancestor of the Li family told me all this." The hanged man answered Li Teng.

"Your childhood sweetheart has now become a vicious ghost and wants to kill everyone in Lijia Village. How can I make her give up killing? In other words, does she have any weaknesses that I can take advantage of?" Li Teng continued to ask questions.

"She...she endured too much inhuman torture..." The Hanged Man's tone became very sad.

"Yes, what those bastards in Lijia Village did was indeed unfair, but all those people are dead. Now these people in Lijia Village are innocent, and all the revenge she wanted to avenge has been avenged. I hope she can let go These hatreds." Li Teng persuaded.

"I don't know what I can do to make her give up killing, but I know she is a filial daughter. She loves her parents very much and listens to her parents the most. She never talks back to them. She just listens to what they say. . If there is something in the world that she cares about most, her weakness, is it her parents, right?" The Hanged Man thought for a while and then answered Li Teng.

"The problem is...her parents are gone..." Li Teng frowned.

"Others...I really can't say anything." The hanged man also looked very embarrassed.

"Can you persuade her?" Li Teng thought of an idea.

"After I hanged on this tree, I became one with this tree. I can't leave here to see her in the back mountain unless she comes here to find me." The hanged man answered Li Teng.

"Okay, last question... what happens outside the village after night? Why do those Taoist priests and village cadres burn a lot of coal and pile it on the bridge at the entrance of the village? What are they afraid of?" Li Teng couldn't ask anything else. What, then asked this last crucial question.

"I haven't left the ancestral hall for many years. I really don't know much about this. I just occasionally heard a few words from people passing by the ancestral hall, saying that there will be terrible things appearing outside the village entrance at night, but everyone sees The horrors encountered are all different. If you want to know the answer, you have to leave the village at night.

"If you leave the village at night, you may not come back alive." The Hanged Man answered Li Teng.

Chapter 787

"Okay, is there anything else you want to tell me?" Li Teng couldn't think of anything else to ask.

"It's nothing. I hope you can keep your promise and rescue my daughter from here. In addition, if you forcefully enter the ancestral hall, I will attack you uncontrollably until one of you is dead. So, I am ready to blow myself up." Yes." The hanged man answered Li Teng.

"You can go with peace of mind. I will try my best to take good care of your daughter as long as there is no embarrassment." Li Teng replied to the hanged man.

"My daughter's name is Lily. If she cries, if you call her name, tell her that you are her mother's good friend, and will buy her her favorite lollipop, she may stop crying. In addition, after I self-destruct, those Taoist priests may notice it and rush over quickly, so if you want to save my daughter, move quickly." The Hanged Man added a few more words.

"I see."

"Thank you." After the Hanged Man said it, he actually blew himself up on the spot, and his soul was gone.

Li Teng carefully flew into the ancestral hall.

The previous sense of danger in the temple had disappeared.

It seems that the dangerous feeling before came from the hanged man.

"Sign in!"

Of course Li Teng would not forget this very important matter.

"Ding! Today's sign-in was successful and I received ten top-quality talisman blind boxes."

"After opening the blind box, I realized what the top-quality talisman paper inside was."

What I got tonight was not a technique or a skill, but ten blind talisman boxes.

The situation is quite urgent now and I don’t have time to study these blind boxes for the time being. Let’s wait until everything is finished.

Li Tengfei went to the wing that the hanged man mentioned, poked a hole in the window paper and got in to observe.

Sure enough, there was a coffin inside.

There is a golden talisman attached to the coffin.

Li Teng used the nose of the drone to push the golden talisman off the coffin.

The golden talisman burned on its own.

Then the coffin lid opened automatically.

A little girl of three or four years old sat up from inside and looked around with confusion and fear.

"Lily, I'm your mother's friend. He asked me to buy you a lollipop." Li Teng hid behind Lily and talked to her.

"Okay! I want to eat a lollipop!" Lily seemed less scared after hearing what Li Teng said.

"Yeah, uncle, can you conjure up a carousel and take you to eat lollipops?" Li Teng said again.

"Okay! Where is the carousel?" Lily continued to look around.

Li Teng got into the coffin and silently chanted "get bigger, get bigger". As expected, the drone got a lot bigger and appeared next to Lily.

There was a lot of noise outside, and it was obvious that someone was coming.

Li Teng quickly controlled the drone and jumped up, activated his skills and became invincible, knocked open the window, and quickly flew high into the sky with Lily.

"what is that?"

"What flew away?"

"Stop them!"

A group of Taoist priests and village officials rushed into the yard.

The drone quickly disappeared into the darkness with Lily.

Li Teng didn't feel the breath of ghosts or other dangerous breaths on Lily.

So, after he circled the village and confirmed that he was free from all tracking, he controlled the drone to fly back to his courtyard and put Lily down.

His real body also found a lollipop that Zhang Mengdi made for Nana, guarded it in the yard, and handed it to Lily.

Lily hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the lollipop from Li Teng's hand, and ate it happily.

"Uncle, where is my mother?" Lily asked Li Teng while eating a lollipop.

"She..." Li Teng hesitated and didn't know how to answer this question.

"She was taken away by a group of uncles. She was in pain and she was crying..." Lily seemed to recall something.

"Mom is sick. She will come to see Lily when she recovers." Li Teng gave a reason.

"What about...Uncle Bai?" Lily thought for a while and then asked.

"Uncle in white clothes?" Li Teng thought of the hanged man.

It seems that Lily doesn't know that the Hanged Man is her biological father.

"Yeah." Lily nodded.

"Uncle Bai has something to do and left the village." Li Teng answered Lily.

"Oh...Uncle, I want to go home." Lily mentioned it to Li Teng.

"Okay, after Lily finishes eating this lollipop, uncle will take you home, okay?" Li Teng thought for a while and answered Lily.

"Okay." Lily found a small stool in the yard and sat down, eating the lollipop attentively.

Li Teng's drone also took advantage of this time to patrol the village.

After the Taoist priests and village officials confirmed that the hanged ghost in the ancestral hall was gone and no longer a threat, they discussed it for a while and then slowly dispersed.

The village fell into silence again.

Only occasionally would a patrolman carrying a lantern appear.

…

After Lily finished eating the lollipop, Li Teng asked her to ride on the drone again and fly along the village road, asking her to find her way home.

Finally, Lily asked Li Teng to stop in front of a dilapidated courtyard. She walked in with confusion. When she saw the broken walls inside, she looked a little depressed, as if she wanted to cry.

"Your house fell down, and your mother said that you should live at your uncle's house first. Your uncle will give you lollipops every day, okay?" Li Teng had no choice but to comfort Lily.

"Okay." Lily took another look at the dilapidated courtyard and returned to the drone.

After returning home again, Li Teng arranged Lily in another bedroom.

The first reason why he took Lily into his home was to fulfill his promise to the Hanged Man.

In addition, Li Teng feels that Lily is likely to be a key role in this plot mission, and maybe she will be useful when facing the evil ghost in the end.

No matter how inhuman Li Gui is, he will still recognize his daughter, right?

Moreover, according to the hanged ghost, this daughter was born between the hanged ghost and Li Gui, and Li Gui should have great feelings for her.

After putting Lily to sleep, Li Teng found the treasure he had signed in for tonight in his field of vision.

Ten top quality talisman blind boxes.

He took one out with his mind and held it in his hand.

A small dark golden box with runes engraved on it, giving it a simple feel.

"The best talisman?"

"How about you try your luck by opening one?"

Li Teng touched the box and found a switch. After pressing it, the blind box was opened.

A golden talisman appeared inside.

The front is full of runes, and the energy fluctuations on it are very turbulent.

Instructions for use are thoughtfully written on the back.

"Life preservation talisman: Encapsulate a living life in a box and attach this talisman to seal the living life in the box, causing the living life to temporarily stop all life activities. When the talisman is removed, the living life will return to its original state."
