in the name of evil

Chapter 144 Seeing the stitches!

Jiang Li walked out of the room, took a deep breath, smiled wryly and said to himself:

"I didn't expect to be not only an orphan, but also a tool man."

After taking two steps, he sat weakly on a rock by the side of the road.

Li Jing, who had been waiting outside, stepped forward, seeing Jiang Li's apparently abnormal state, and said:

"It seems that what she told you hit you hard?"

"It's more than a big one." Jiang Li shrugged: "It belongs to breaking the Dao heart."

"What? You already knew?" He looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing shook her head: "She doesn't tell me anything, and I can't ask too much."

"Oh." Jiang Li responded indifferently.

It took a long time for Jiang Li to recover, and then he glanced at Li Jing: "Are you going to stand here forever?"

Li Jing frowned, she always felt some changes in Jiang Li's body.

He didn't seem to have that much respect for himself.

"I brought you here, so I am naturally responsible for taking you away."

"Thank you so much." Jiang Li nodded.

Another moment of silence.

Jiang Li said with some dismay, "I'm going to leave, I'm not very welcome here."

"Are you planning to leave? Didn't you promise Bai Wan to accompany her during the New Year?" Li Jing originally hoped that Jiang Li would leave as soon as possible after talking with Li Yan, but when Jiang Li was really about to leave, for some reason, she always felt a little heavy.

"Well, it's not impossible."

Jiang Li suddenly thought of something and laughed out loud:

"It's also fun to jump around under the noses of people who hate me but have nothing to do with me."

Jiang Li figured it out, no matter what, these were just Li Yan's one-sided words, and whether they were true or not still needed to be verified.

If it's true, put it on.

If it's fake, it's even better.

Before that, one should not be swayed by emotions.

And Li Yan didn't say the reason, why she let Xiaocao parasitize her body is still unknown.

Even in the worst case scenario, where father and son fight each other and mother and son fight each other, if Jiang Li is given time, he can actually adjust to it.

Although they are his biological parents, for Jiang Li, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen have surpassed them in status for more than 20 years.

As long as Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are still there, then he is not an orphan.

The so-called biological parents, if they not only abandoned me but cheated me, then I'm sorry, I'm really unfamiliar.

"You seem to have become more real, not as flattering as before." Li Jing said suddenly, interrupting Jiang Li's thoughts.

"It's not more real." Jiang Li stood up, implying: "It's just that he has no more worries."

Afterwards, the two went down the mountain. Although Li Jing didn't know what the content of the conversation was, she still comforted Jiang Li politely when they parted.

Jiang Li stood alone on the hillside for a while, planning to go back and ask Xiaocao if he knew there was something else in his body.

He is now like a headless fly, for him, what Li Yan said has no reference information that can be used to distinguish the true from the false.

What he was most worried about was that Li Yan's words contained falsehoods, and falsehoods contained truths. The authenticity of such words was the most difficult to judge.

But when Jiang Li was about to find a place where no one was around and enter the Sea of ​​Consciousness to meet Xiaocao, he met a person who was waiting for him on the only way down the mountain.

It was Aunt Zou.

"Have you met Li Yan?"

Aunt Zou hunched over, looking as if she would be blown down by a slight wind, but her eyes were piercing, exuding an aura that she should not have at her age.

"Aunt Zou, I did see Senior Li Yan just now, what's the matter?"

For Aunt Zou, Jiang Li still has a good impression.

If it is only because of his strength, Jiang Li will indeed flatter him, but not from the heart. He will only respect someone whose character Jiang Li truly admires.

"Did she tell you something secret?"

Aunt Zou spoke with a touch of excitement in her tone, which made Jiang Li feel a little surprised.

Could it be that Aunt Zou knows something?
Therefore, Jiang Li said ambiguously: "If Aunt Zou's secret refers to something little known, it should indeed be considered a secret."

"Is it related to your relationship with the art of witchcraft?" Aunt Zou also understood, and continued to ask without piercing the window paper.

Jiang Li nodded: "That's right."

"I knew it, it was exactly as I guessed." Aunt Zou showed a clear smile, and then greeted Jiang Li and said, "Come with me."

Jiang Li didn't say much, and tacitly followed Aunt Zou's footsteps.

He always felt that Aunt Zou would bring him something different.

But when Jiang Li discovered that Aunt Zou was leading him to the Ten Thousand Gu Cave, his expression changed slightly.

"Then what, Aunt Zou, don't you have some new ideas for me to verify for you?"

"No." Aunt Zou replied firmly.

"That's good." Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

But Aunt Zou continued, "It's not a new idea. It's a conjecture that appeared more than 20 years ago. I need you to verify it for me."

Jiang Li's face turned slightly black in an instant, although it was not impossible, but he was not in the mood for the time being.

Thinking about it, Jiang Li wanted to find a reason to run away.

But just when he was hesitating how to speak, Aunt Zou said solemnly:

"Help me see if the witch is still there."

Immediately, Jiang Li's pupils shrank, and he understood what Aunt Zou had conjectured more than 20 years ago.

It turned out that Aunt Zou had long suspected that the witchcraft was no longer on the mountain.

"Aunt Zou, what is witchcraft?" Jiang Li continued to pretend to be stupid for the sake of cliche.

"Don't pretend, a human-level monk who cultivates the Tao, can be immune to the full-strength attack of the earth-level witch king and Gu king, it can't be explained by talent. Although I am old, I am not old and confused."

Aunt Zou sneered, Jiang Li's little thought of being clever in front of her was like a blank sheet of paper in front of her.

Jiang Li, who was exposed, didn't feel ashamed at all, but smiled and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Senior Li Yan really said that witches are on me."

Aunt Zou stopped walking when she heard the words, and her face was like this: "I knew that the luck of the Wugu sect has been maintained at a very low level in recent years. It has been too long since there has been a talent. I had this situation more than 20 years ago. conjecture, but there is no way to verify it.”

"However." She looked at Jiang Li: "What Li Yan said doesn't count, that girl is always narrow-minded, and she speaks half-truths and half-false words, which must be verified.

This is also the reason why I brought you here. If you do have witchcraft in your body, you should be able to enter that space without any effort. In that space, some traces will naturally be left as evidence. "

Aunt Zou pointed to the depths of Wangu Grotto, which Jiang Li had never set foot in before:
"Going straight in here, there is a passage leading to the Holy Land of the Wugu Sect on the top of the mountain, which is why there are so many caves on the mountain, and only this place can become the Ten Thousand Gu Cave.

Go straight up along the passage, and you will reach the holy place that is only opened once every ten years to worship the ancestors. There is a stone door in the holy place. Behind the stone door is what I call a small space. If you can enter, you will naturally know the truth. up. "

"Holy place? I can go in this kind of place casually? And you won't take me in?" Jiang Li looked at Aunt Zou who stopped walking, feeling suspicious.

"It doesn't matter, there is no one guarding it. Although it is called a holy place, in the eyes of the people who don't know the existence of witchcraft, it is actually a place for worshiping ancestors, similar to ancestral halls.

As for why I didn't take you there, it's because anyone who doesn't open the Holy Land in a special way that only the door master can do will be rejected.

So I am not saying that you have to go up, this is just an experiment, if the witchcraft is not on you, then you will also be rejected.

If you feel that the Holy Land is rejecting your entry, it means that you don't have witchcraft in your body, and you just need to retreat. "

Aunt Zou explained to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li scratched his head when he heard the words: "There is another question, why is there a passage here to reach the Holy Land? Since the entrance is not unique, then this Holy Land is too unholy, isn't it a bit of a drop in price?"

"This is the second point I want to remind you. Although it is said to be a passage, it is actually extremely narrow. The purpose of opening it at the beginning was to draw out the spirit of witchcraft in the holy land and create a suitable habitat for Gu insects." place, so if you go up from there, it may be difficult, because it is not a passage opened for people."

After speaking, Aunt Zou urged Jiang Li to go and have a look.

Jiang Li was also curious, so he followed Aunt Zou's guidance and walked deep.

Soon, the cave began to become invisible as Jiang Li gradually deepened.

Jiang Li took out a piece of talisman paper and lit it as a lighting tool.

Jiang Li, who has made a lot of progress in talisman, the light he can produce is no longer limited to the incandescent light in the Qinling Underground Palace. If he wants to, he can create colorful atmosphere lights in nightclubs.

Gradually, the Gu worms crouching on the surrounding rock walls became denser and denser.

Although Jiang Li didn't know them, he could tell from their strange appearances that they were not easy to deal with.

Not to mention highly toxic, but it can definitely spread some infectious diseases more or less.

But fortunately, they all seem to be hibernating, motionless, and almost integrated with the rock wall.

Occasionally, some active Gu worms also respect Jiang Li and stay away, unwilling to approach.

Although Jiang Li has already been entered into the body by countless Gu insects, human beings are still born with a fear of insects, and they don't come to disturb him, which is exactly Jiang Li's wish.

He kept walking like this until the cave bottomed out.

But the strange thing is that at the end of the cave, Jiang Li still didn't find the passage mentioned by Aunt Zou.

"Since it is to attract witchcraft, it should resonate with witchcraft or Gu, right?"

Jiang Li wrote on the talisman paper the Miao characters of the grass man, and then ignited the talisman paper.

Sure enough, he found that the light emitted by the talisman paper was darker in some directions, and darker in other directions.

So Jiang Li walked along the brighter place, and slowly walked back to the middle part near the end of the cave.

Finally, the light will be dark any further forward or backward, only the light from the talisman paper is the brightest at the place where he is standing now.

"Fortunately, I happened to learn a skill secretly." Jiang Li felt a little lucky.

If I didn't think of this trick, I don't know when to find the passage.

But what about the channel?
Jiang Li searched around, but found nothing.

Until he suddenly thought of a possibility, endured his nausea and pushed away all the densest Gu worms on the nearby rock wall with his bare hands, and a palm-sized hole appeared in front of him.

The moment Jiang Li saw the hole, he was stunned.

Aunt Zou's words 'It may be difficult to pass' echoed in his ears.

"Is this a bit difficult?"

He asked suspiciously while shaking his hands that were stained with Gu worms.

"Can normal people pass this place?"

In fact, Jiang Li really blamed Aunt Zou this time, this passage was not so narrow originally, but hesitantly, this is a place to attract Qi, which attracted many Gu insects to come here.

Over the years, the secretions of the Gu worms adhered to the edge of the hole, making the hole smaller and smaller.

If Jiang Li had come two years later, the hole would have been even smaller, maybe even the cat wouldn't be able to get through here.

But fortunately, Jiang Li is not a normal person. When he was in the Qinling Underground Palace, he solved a lot of troubles with his single-handed talisman.

Now it is not impossible to think of a way to get in from here.

"Secret Meaning: Seek every stitch!"

He roared in self-gratification, and then stuck a talisman on his body, and then his body began to shrink strangely, until it became smaller than the hole, and then stopped changing.

Then he began to crawl along the narrow passage.

Fortunately, the passage is not straight up and down, and the opening is a bit rough. There are many places for Jiang Li, who has shrunk in size, to cling to.

Although it was difficult, he still smoothly maintained a balanced speed.

"What is this slimy thing? It's disgusting."

Jiang Li suddenly remembered the scene where he watched firefighters drill into the sewers in heavy rain during his internship before, and it was exactly the same as now.

At that time, the leader didn't let him do it, but he didn't expect that after so many years, Jiang Li still couldn't escape this fate.

He didn't know that those slimy things were the secretions of Gu insects, so he couldn't understand why the passage got wider and wider.

But this is a good thing for him, at least he has more space and won't be so depressed.

He didn't know how long he had been climbing, but Jiang Li finally felt that he was about to climb to the exit.

A bright light hit Jiang Li's face, which surprised him.

"Is it possible that this holy place is still in the open air? Why is there light?"

It wasn't until Jiang Li climbed out of the passage that he realized that the light source was not sunlight, but the ever-burning lamp in the holy place.

Climbing out of the 'ventilation duct', Jiang Li also returned to his original size, and began to observe the appearance of the Holy Land.

This is a huge space, in the middle is a high platform that looks like an altar, and there is a stone gate on the high platform, but the strange thing is that it just stands there, with nothing in front or behind.

There are many candles on the altar. Jiang Li has heard that some animal fat can be used as fuel to support the long-term burning of the flame, and it is often used as the material of the eternal lamp.

"If the stone gate is replaced with a coffin, it won't look like a holy place, but rather like a tomb."

After saying this, Jiang Li suddenly became bewildered.

I got in very smoothly, without any obstacles.

In other words, the witchcraft is indeed on him?
