Chapter 33 Return to reality
"There's not much time left, let's go."

Li Yi, wearing a human skin hood, pulled Zhao Qian and ran quickly on the ghost street.

He bought a coffin and two clay horses, and solved all his problems. He originally wanted to spend more, but he didn't have enough time, so he had to give up. Otherwise, he could have spent some of his life to buy some rare and strange things.

After all, Li Yi was prepared to default on his debt.

Relying on his own memory, Li Yi did not take the wrong route. He soon brought Zhao Qian to the familiar alley, and then turned left and right.

Not long after, the two men stopped in front of the gate of a small courtyard.

After looking around and seeing that there were no ghosts lingering nearby, Li Yi dared to speak: "Miss Zhao, I won't go in. Please help me say goodbye to Master. I'm afraid that Master will waste time on the matter of the coffin after seeing me, and you won't be able to leave here safely. Besides, I also want to go home."

"I have parents at home to take care of me. It's a pity that I'm not alone, otherwise I would really like to go to Xingzhou with my master."

"Brother Yi." Tears welled up in Zhao Qian's eyes. Although she and Li Yi had been together for a very short time, only knowing each other for less than an hour, they had experienced a lot together.

Especially just now, he spent sixty years of his life just to become the disciple of his master who had only been his apprentice for less than an hour.

She knew very well that after this farewell in Ghost Street, they would never see each other again in their life.

"It's okay. You must take good care of yourself and your master in the future. If we are destined to meet again in the future." Li Yi patted her shoulder and said seriously.

"Just now I think I saw the Yin soldiers wandering around. You should go in quickly. I'm leaving now."

At this time, Li Yi glanced at him.

It was as if an ancient soldier holding a spear was passing by. His hair stood on end and he was startled. He didn't dare to talk any more. He quickly put on his mask and turned around to run.

"Brother Yi" Zhao Qian called out again.

Li Yi didn't look back, but just waved goodbye, and his figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.

"Crench!"

At this time, Zhao Ge in the house heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door.

Zhao Ge looked around, and when he saw the evil soldiers wandering around, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly pulled Zhao Qian into the yard and closed the door.

Fortunately, the door god on the gate has not faded yet.

The passing of the ghost soldiers did not disturb them, but just floated by and then went on to pursue the breath of other living people.

In the courtyard.

Zhao Ge said in a low voice: "What happened? Where is Meng De? What's the matter with the blood on your shoulder?"

He had good eyesight and saw the blood on Zhao Qian's shoulder at a glance.

That was left when Li Yi patted her shoulder.

"Brother Yi just left. He asked me to say goodbye to my father. He wanted to leave Ghost Street and go home. He didn't come in because he was afraid of wasting our time. Brother Yi is fine. He is safe. This blood was left when Brother Yi signed his name."

Zhao Qian explained, and then took out the coffin Zhi: "Dad, look, this is the coffin Zhi that Brother Yi bought."

Zhao Ge was a little disappointed when he heard that Li Yi left without saying goodbye, but he was relieved when he heard that Li Yi was fine. However, when he saw the coffin in his daughter's hand, his eyes widened: "Such a big coffin? How much of your life was spent?"

"Sixty, sixty." Zhao Qian didn't dare to hide it and stammered.

"sixty?"

Snapped!
Zhao Ge was instantly furious and slapped Zhao Qian in the face: "Asshole, Meng De doesn't understand worldly matters, and you don't understand either? Sixty years of life is costing him his life. Your father finally accepted such a good disciple in his old age, and you are ruining him by doing this. The medicine is expensive, so forget it if you can't afford it. Anyway, your father's life is over."

Zhao Qian's face was red from being hit, but she did not dodge, she just took it, and then cried, "My daughter knows it, but my daughter couldn't stop Brother Yi, he signed without hesitation."

Zhao Ge kicked Zhao Qian over again, pointed at her and cursed: "Can you fool others with your words, or me? If you really want to stop it, can Meng De sign the pledge? It's obvious that you were hesitant and let Meng De buy the coffin."

"Daddy, what choice did you ask me to make then? I can't afford to pay for sixty years of life. If I could, I wouldn't have hesitated at all. Brother Yi is taking action now. Although I feel guilty, I don't know whether I should stop him. If I stop him and miss the time, I can only watch Daddy die." Zhao Qian started crying.

After saying this, Zhao Ge slowly put down his raised hand, and then slapped himself hard in the face again.

"Ugh."

He sighed heavily, and then fell into deep self-blame and pain.

Zhao Qian continued, "Dad, Brother Yi has a life span of 150 years. He will be fine. When Brother Yi starts practicing, the lost life span will naturally be made up. Dad, don't you believe in Brother Yi's practice speed?"

"One hundred and fifty years of life? Is this true? You didn't lie to me." Zhao Ge suddenly raised his head and stared at her.

"Brother Yi has used a longevity plate to measure it. I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be fake." Zhao Qian wiped her tears and stood up and said.

Zhao Ge said, "With dragon tendons and tiger bones, vigorous qi and blood, and extraordinary talent, it is not surprising that you have such a long life, but losing sixty years of your life is equivalent to losing half your life. My father and I owe Meng De a lot. If I had known this, you should have left with Meng De, helped him take care of his parents, served him, and taught him the fighting methods that I had not yet taught him."

"Dad, I'm going to find Brother Yi right now and spend the rest of my life repaying his kindness." After Zhao Qian said this, she immediately wanted to go out to chase him.

Zhao Ge hesitated for a moment, but finally grabbed his daughter before she stepped out of the yard: "Time is running out, the time for the Soul-Separation Incense is almost up, Meng De might have already left the Ghost Street by now, forget it, forget it, Meng De and I are not destined to be together, go back, go back, we'll meet again someday, and you can go with him."

"Okay, Daddy is in charge of everything." Zhao Qian pursed her lips and had to suppress the impulse in her heart.

at this time.

There was a sudden banging sound from the gate of the yard.

The huge noise woke Zhao Ge and Zhao Qian up immediately.

"Hurry, hurry back to the coffin. The door god on the door is ineffective. The ghosts are coming in. We can't stay here any longer. We have to go back." Zhao Ge reacted and rushed into the lobby with his daughter, then quickly opened the coffin lid.

The coffin was empty.

Zhao Ge first put his daughter into the coffin and closed the coffin. Then he lay down in another coffin next to it. With a strong force on his hands, the coffin lid fell down steadily with a bang.

After the two of them lay down, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly blown open by a gust of cold wind. The cold wind rushed into the hall, blowing the white paper money all over the floor.

The soul-leaving incense has burned out.

But the two coffins in the middle of the lobby mysteriously disappeared.

Also disappearing were Zhao Ge and Zhao Qian who were in the coffin.

The cold wind swept around but found nothing. Finally, it blew open the window and left the courtyard, leaving behind the mess on the ground and the piece of wood with the fist mark.

at the same time.

A corner of Ghost Street.

Li Yi squatted on the ground with blood dripping from his fingers.

Blood dripped onto a mud pony on the ground.

"Is this really useful? I actually believed such a bizarre thing."

He was very doubtful at the moment, but Li Yi had no choice but to try his best, otherwise he might really be trapped to death in this strange street.

However, after the blood dyed the mud horse red, something incredible happened.

A gust of black wind blew around the mud horse.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making it almost impossible for Li Yi to open his eyes.

Afterwards, Li Yi actually heard the neighing of a wild horse in the strong wind.

"Is there really such a magical thing?"

When the black wind dissipated, Li Yi opened his eyes wide and saw a tall and mysterious black horse appear in front of him. This horse was not a living creature, its body was still made of clay, but it could move freely.

Such a scene was a little beyond Li Yi's cognition.

But when you think about the appearance of ghosts and supernatural creatures in this world, what is happening before your eyes doesn't seem surprising.

"Take me away from this ghost street and back home." Li Yi jumped up and sat on the horse.

Although he couldn't ride a horse, he could hold on to the horse's neck to avoid falling off.

The horse raised its hooves and neighed, then exhaled, emitting black smoke.

Then the horse galloped with its iron hooves, and it rushed out instantly carrying Li Yi.

"So fast."

Li Yi only felt the whistling of the wind in his ears, and his vision around him became blurred. He felt an indescribable feeling when the horse he was riding galloped, as if he was riding on the clouds.

"Wait, the flesh on this horse is falling off?"

He immediately discovered that as the horse galloped, large pieces of things were peeling off from the horse's body. Li Yi raised his hand and saw that his hands were full of black mud.

This soil is fishy and smelly. I don’t know what is mixed in it.

But the horse did not stop, but just ran madly in one direction.

The surrounding buildings gradually changed.

The quaint and strange streets began to disappear, the big red lanterns above the head gradually went out, the outlines of high-rise buildings gradually appeared in the surrounding darkness, and many scrapped cars began to appear on the nearby road. All these changes happened within a moment.

Li Yi seemed to have crossed over into some strange world and returned to the modern city.

“I really came back alive.”

suddenly.

The horse's running speed slowed down, and Li Yi found himself at a street corner in the abandoned city area, and behind him was the area shrouded in danger.

He glanced back.

That strange street still exists, as if wandering between reality and illusion. Li Yi can even see many scary ghost figures wandering around. It can be seen that everything that happened before was not his fantasy before death, but real.

The horse began to stagger while running at this moment, and its body collapsed so badly that even the white skeleton inside was exposed.

We continued forward for a few hundred meters.

This mud horse seemed to have reached its limit and was unable to send Li Yi back to the old city. After a wail, it completely collapsed and turned into mud and rotten bones on the ground.

Li Yi fell off his horse, but he quickly steadied himself and felt sorry for the completely broken horse.

"It turns out to be a disposable consumable and cannot be reused. Fortunately, I was prepared and bought two mud horses." He touched his pocket.

The remaining clay horse was well preserved and undamaged.

However, he kept it just in case. Li Yi would not use it easily unless it was a special occasion.

"You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. It's not far anyway." Li Yi saw everything familiar around him and gradually felt confident. He did not stay here and immediately turned back along the route he took to the danger zone.

Look around briefly.

It is still late at night and it is estimated that there are still two or three hours before dawn.

It seems that Li Yi was not trapped in the ghost street for long.
