I have a two world clock

Chapter 17
Zhang Shihong's face was extremely ugly at this time.

When Li Mu was fighting the corpse demon, he had already seen the dilapidated door, and knew that the corpse demon was transformed by the woman he had saved halfway.

Zhang Shihong couldn't accept that a beautiful girl suddenly turned into a ghost with green face and fangs, and it took him a long time to recover.

Ever since he rescued the girl, he had fantasized about the ways of possessing the girl countless times and the great satisfaction after successfully possessing her, and he had already regarded the girl as his possession.

But now I find that the girl is not a girl, but a corpse in human skin. It is even hard to know whether the corpse is male or female, male or female. My love and enthusiasm suddenly become A big joke.

"Fortunately, not many people know about it. If people find out that the woman I brought home is a corpse, if it spreads, my reputation will be ruined for the rest of my life!"

Standing in the hall, he told his father Zhang Yuanzheng all the whole story of how he rescued the woman and took her home to hide, and he didn't dare to hide his little thoughts at all.

After Zhang Yuanzheng listened for a long time, he pointed at Zhang Shihong, with a look of hatred on his face: "You!"

The veteran was heartbroken: "The woman who was rescued on the way, do you dare to believe her nonsense? Today the world is in turmoil, and there are many monsters infesting. If you are not careful, you will end up with tragic death! How stupid is it to love women and take life lightly?" !"

He was very dissatisfied with Zhang Shihong's behavior: "Even if the woman you rescued is not a corpse, you can't take it home casually. In case she is an official's concubine, if you rescue her, you can take her back without authorization." Didn’t you hate others at home? If your new recruit returns this woman to others, not only will she gain a good reputation, but she will also be able to make good friends with the officer, and she will be more favorably cared for in her official career in the future.

The left and right are just a girl, when has our Zhang family lacked a woman?My son, you have won the Juren, you should keep yourselves clean, be careful with every move, and don't do anything stupid that will affect your reputation! "

Zhang Shihong bowed his head and said: "I would like to follow my father's teaching, this time it is the child who made a mistake!"

Zhang Yuanzheng said: "Today is the right time for Mr. Li. He is a man of pride, eager for justice, and just now he acted righteously and killed the corpse demon. If it were someone else, even if he had the ability to subdue demons, he would not be able to do so." Will easily meddle in other people's affairs. This kind of kindness cannot be repaid by mere gold and silver.

"Furthermore, this kind of alien has powerful means. How do you know that he won't beg him again in the future? You must get closer and closer to him in the future, and move around more. You must not have the slightest intention of treating him poorly."

Zhang Shihong said awe-inspiringly: "Thank you father for your guidance, the child will definitely get closer to brother Li and never dare to treat him slowly!"

Today's world is in turmoil, there are many chaos in various places, and the rebel army has sprung up. Many gentry and rich men were killed by the rebel army and their properties were robbed. This made the rich and rich peasants all over the place feel vigilant. Keep your home safe.

After witnessing Li Mu's astonishing skills, everyone was shocked. Such astonishing martial arts, even Lu Zhanlin, the leader of the Tanlang Gang, might not be as good.

With such a master, everyone wants to make friends with him, and absolutely does not want to offend him.

Zhang Shihong happened to take this opportunity to walk around with Li Mu more, and he would naturally get to know him after a while. Even if he had nothing to bother Li Mu, just being a friend, it wouldn't hurt.

Zhang Shihong didn't need his father to mention these people's sophistication, and he knew it very well in his heart, so when Li Mu and An Yangzi came to the hall together, Zhang Shihong thanked Li Mu and An Yangzi repeatedly.

"From the point of view of the poor, Yuanwai's house is wide in front and narrow in the back, shaped like a coffin, which is really not good in terms of Feng Shui. If possible, it is better to reduce the cross yard and correct the terrain, so as to store the wind and absorb the air, and erase the shadows. evil."

After drinking a cup of tea, An Yangzi said solemnly to Zhang Yuanzheng: "This corpse hides in human skin instead of killing people directly. There must be a reason for it. Your son's Yuanyang alone may not be enough to tempt the corpse. There must be other reasons for it.”

Zhang Yuanzheng said in amazement: "Prince Immortal, I am just an ordinary family. Apart from the property in my family, how can there be anything that demons care about?"

An Yangzi said: "This corpse monster has at least 300 years of Taoism. Its body is as hard as iron and stone, and its magic power is extremely powerful. It can't even be suppressed by the old magic suppression talisman. Amazing benefits, how could he personally plot against your son?"

Zhang Yuanzheng was thinking hard, and said: "But there is really nothing in my house that is worthy of the demon's heart."

But Zhang Shihong thought of something and said: "Father, didn't our ancestors get a few chess pieces, are they still at home now?"

Zhang Yuanzheng suddenly said: "Yes! There is such a thing! But it's all rumors from the ancestors, the thing about this chess piece is not credible..."

Zhang Shihong interrupted: "Now that there are masters like Taoist Master and Brother Li present, they will know at a glance whether this chess piece has a history or not."

Zhang Yuanzheng said: "My son's words are very true!"

An Yangzi was a little puzzled: "Mr. Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Yuanzheng said: "It's a long story, it happened more than a hundred years ago..."

More than 100 years ago, Zhang Kaishan, the ancestor of Zhang Yuanzheng, was a woodcutter in Baoming County. One day he went to the nearby Qipanshan Mountain to cut firewood. When it was raining, he found a cave to shelter from the rain. There are two old people playing chess in the cave.

Zhang Kaishan was illiterate at the time, and he didn't understand what kind of chess these two old men were playing, and he couldn't understand the number of moves they played, but it was raining heavily outside, and he couldn't get out, so he leaned closer to the chessboard to watch the game.

But after watching it for a long time, I didn't understand what it meant. On the contrary, I saw that the chess pieces played by the two old men were very beautiful. They seemed to be made of beautiful jade. The black ones were like ink dyed, and the white ones were like suet jade. Great value.

Zhang Kaishan became greedy.

While the two old men were concentrating on playing chess, they quietly stole a few chess pieces, put them in their sleeves, and slowly ran out of the cave.

After he got out of the cave, he found that the rain outside the cave had long since passed, and the ground was not even damp at all, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

But when he went up the mountain to shelter from the rain, it was obviously in the afternoon.

Zhang Kaishan was taken aback and hurried down the mountain. When he arrived at the village, he found that it had been more than three years. Everyone in the village thought he had disappeared, even his wife had remarried, and his only old mother had died of illness.

Zhang Kaishan knew that something strange had happened to him, so he didn't dare to publicize it, so he secretly left the mountain village and came to Qinghe County. After a lot of hard work, he took root in Qinghe County.

Ever since he watched two old men play chess in the cave, he has clear ears and eyes, and his brain is much more sensitive than usual. He has consulted many scholars, and he is self-taught. He was admitted as a scholar in Qinghe County and became a scholar.

It was only after reading and understanding that he realized that what he had encountered in the cave on Qipan Mountain was an unrivaled fairy fate. Unfortunately, he was illiterate and did not know good fortune at that time, so he missed a great opportunity.

This incident became the only thing he hated in his life, and when he was dying, he still couldn't let it go.

After his death, the few pieces of chess that he stole from the Immortal Playing Ping became family heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, the story of Zhang Kaishan meeting an immortal playing chess was also handed down.

At the beginning of this kind of thing, not many people believed it, and after it was passed down for several generations, even less people believed it.

But after all, this is a story that adds to the conversation of their ancestors. Everyone in the Zhang family does not reject this kind of story that adds luster to their ancestors. Sometimes when chatting with outsiders about the topic of "the ancestors were once rich", they also mentioned it to the outside world. over this kind of thing.

But the speaker didn't take it seriously, and the listener just laughed it off, and no one would take it seriously.

It wasn't until today that Zhang Shihong witnessed the appearance of the corpse demon and was beheaded by Li Mu that he suddenly thought of the story handed down by his ancestors.

"You mean, this corpse may be planning a few chess pieces left by your ancestor?"

After hearing Zhang Yuanzheng's words, Anyangzi took a long breath: "It's been a few days in the mountains, but thousands of years have passed in the world! Is there really such a great supernatural power to change time at will?"

His face became extremely serious: "Mr. Zhang, are those chess pieces still there? Can you allow me to take a look?"

Zhang Yuanzheng said: "You two wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

He looked at Zhang Shihong: "Shihong, go get those three chess pieces!"

When Zhang Shihong heard the "three chess pieces", he was slightly taken aback, but immediately reacted: "Yes, I'll go right away!"

Li Mu and An Yangzi waited for a while, and saw Zhang Shihong brought a brocade box and put it on the table.

After opening the brocade box, there was a yellow cloth package inside. After opening the package, I saw three Go pieces wrapped inside.

These three chess pieces are two black and one white. At first glance, there is nothing special about them, but when you look closely, you will find that these three chess pieces are like three small whirlpools, and a breath is slowly rotating on the chess pieces. , the surrounding void seems to be collapsing towards it.

"This chess piece..."

An Yangzi's eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth were almost drooling, but in the end his expression gradually faded, and he nodded slightly: "It's kind of interesting!"

He tried his best to control his emotions, cruelly turned his eyes away from the chess pieces, and looked at Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "This chess piece is not bad, it looks extraordinary at first glance, maybe the corpse demon pretends to be a little girl and deliberately seduces Brother Zhang because of these chess pieces."

He gently closed the brocade box, and looked at Zhang Yuanzheng: "Uncle Zhang, this chess piece is of extraordinary quality, and it may really have a great history, so it must be kept well."

An Yangzi was in a hurry: "This chess piece is definitely not something that ordinary people can hold. What is certain now is that the Zhang family has several chess pieces. If you want to keep safe, it is best to give this chess piece away. Poor Dao can also relieve the worries of other members and keep this chess piece for the time being..."

Zhang Yuanzheng and Zhang Shihong looked at each other. At this moment, they both knew that the family-inherited chess pieces were really extraordinary, otherwise Anyangzi would not be so excited.

On the contrary, Li Mu's evaluation of the chess pieces was unabashed, which surprised both father and son. This is the first time they have seen such a generation who is not greedy in the face of heavy treasures.

Zhang Yuanzheng reached out and took out a black chess piece, and handed it to Anyangzi respectfully: "Thank you Daoist Master for your help today to keep my house safe. I can't repay you for being old. If the Daoist leader likes this chess piece, please keep it."

An Yangzi's face flushed with excitement, and he tightly held the black chess piece in his hands: "Okay! Pindao will accept it this time!"

With the other hand, he took out a stack of yellow talismans from his bosom: "I don't want your things for nothing. I have a few peace talismans and demon-eliminating talismans here, and I gave them to the old man."

Zhang Yuanzheng hurriedly expressed his thanks and took these yellow talismans away.

He had seen the power of these yellow talismans with his own eyes, and knew that these talismans were not deceitful things in ordinary temples, but really had the effect of suppressing demons and eliminating demons, so he didn't dare to underestimate them.

After taking over the yellow talisman, Zhang Yuanzheng pushed the remaining two chess pieces, one black and one white, in front of Li Mu: "Mr. Li, there is no way to repay your life-saving grace. Since this chess piece belongs to the world of cultivation, the remaining pieces Two, just for the young master to play with."

Li Mu shook his head and said: "I have gained a lot from killing monsters today, these chess pieces are useless to me, old man Zhang should keep them for himself, and pass them on to future generations, they can be regarded as treasures."

Seeing this, An Yangzi's envious eyes turned red, and he persuaded Li Mu, "Mr. Li, this is Yuanwai Zhang's kind intention. I don't think you should refuse."

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "This chess piece may be the fairy fate of the old Zhang family. If I accept it, won't it break his fate? I can't accept this chess piece."

An Yangzi was silent when he heard the words.

A moment later, when he looked up at Li Mu, his eyes were already filled with admiration: "Mr. Li, it's really a gentleman's heart to be unmoved in the face of such a fairy, and I admire him so much!"

Li Mu laughed: "I haven't even figured out my own stuff, why should I be greedy? It's better for this chess piece to stay in the Zhang family."

He really didn't have any idea about these chess pieces of the Zhang family.

Even if these chess pieces are really artifacts of the gods, they are also belongings of the Zhang family. Although it is true that he killed the corpse demon, it can be regarded as saving many people in the Zhang family, but it cannot be used as a claim for the property of the Zhang family. reason.

When he fell in love with Jiang Mingyue, he never wavered in the face of Jiang Mingyue's mother's threats and temptations. Now, facing the chess pieces that might be artifacts of immortals, he still couldn't make him feel greedy.

Moreover, this chess piece is obviously a hot potato. Whoever takes it will become the target of fire, and has a great ability to attract monsters.

One's own abilities are limited, so it's better not to get involved.

Besides, I have already taken the zombie's two teeth and eight nails, and the harvest is not low, so there is no need to ask for anything else.

But the more he refused, the more Zhang Yuanzheng and his son felt that Li Mu was a worthy person, and they insisted on giving Li Mu a thank-you gift: "Immortal fate is not immortal, only God knows! I wait for ordinary people to only ask for three meals and food and clothing. As for whether it is a fairy fate or not, you can't force it. Please accept these two chess pieces, otherwise they will be a disaster if they stay in our house."

But no matter what Zhang Yuanzheng and his son said, Li Mu refused to accept it, but he accepted the 100 taels of gold and 500 taels of silver without hesitation.

This is what he deserves, so naturally he won't be embarrassed.

After leaving the Zhang residence with Anyangzi, Anyangzi sighed to Li Mu: "Yuanzheng and his son are playing smart. They obviously have a lot of chess pieces at home, but they only took out three pieces. The poor way took one, which is considered to be a block for them." One piece of disaster, the rest of the disaster, I am afraid they will have to figure out their own solutions."

Li Mu glanced at An Yangzi, and said with a smile, "What? Don't you worry about the remaining ones?"

An Yangzi didn't know what medicine was applied on An Yangzi's body. The swollen nose and face and the wound on his shoulder from being scratched by the corpse monster had all healed up now. In addition, he changed into a new suit of clothes and combed it again, and his face became radiant. , much better than the embarrassed look when I first saw Li Mu.

Hearing Li Mu's question, An Yangzi shook his head and said, "Immortal fate is rare but not sought. The Zhang family is willing to give this chess piece, and the poor will accept it. If they don't give it, how dare the poor ask for it? Everything must follow nature. If Pindao is deliberately plotting something belonging to the Zhang family, how is that different from a demon?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I never thought that the Taoist priest would say such words."

An Yangzi chuckled, and said, "The poor don't steal or rob, they're just greedy for petty gains. Don't think too badly of me, Mr. Li."

He took out a small green leather gourd from his bosom and handed it to Li Mu: "Thank you Mr. Li for your help today, otherwise I will lose my life. , At least I can decorate things, I can’t repay the favor of saving my life, and it’s not a respect for mere magical artifacts.”

Li Muxi said: "Is there really a magic weapon for storage?"

He is currently lacking this kind of magic weapon for storage in the legend, so he unceremoniously holds the gourd in his hand and observes it carefully.

I saw that the green leather gourd was about the size of a thumb, it was a small sub-waist gourd, the whole gourd was verdant and verdant, as if carved from jasper, it was heavy in the hand, and even felt like jade.

"Hey, this thing looks good!"

Li Mu weighed the little gourd in his hands, and asked An Yangzi, "How do you use this?"

An Yangzi said: "As long as you concentrate, you can see the storage space inside the gourd..."

focus?

Li Mu is very familiar with this operation!
The bronze clock in his mind requires him to concentrate every time, so that it can slowly take shape in his mind, and then he can travel between the two worlds.

When he looked at the small gourd in his hand, a melodious bell rang in his mind.

The green little gourd suddenly lit up, and a small illusory space appeared in Li Mu's induction.

This space has a radius of one zhang, and there is nothing else in it except a stack of yellow talismans.

"Hey, this is interesting!"

Li Mu turned his thoughts excitedly, and as he turned his thoughts, the steel gun in his hand, the double mace on his back, the dagger and darts at his waist, etc., all disappeared from his body and appeared in the space around ten meters away. As soon as he moved, it appeared in his hand again.

Receive!
put!
Receive!
put!
The weapon in Li Mu's hands changed back and forth, disappearing for a while, appearing for a while, having a great time playing, he said with great interest, "Oh, I'll go, if someone does tricks in the future, no one can see the flaw!"

"Not bad!"

After playing for a while, Li Mu was overjoyed, and said to An Yangzi: "Lao An, your gourd is not bad, so I will be disrespectful!"

An Yangzi opened his mouth wide, with a dull expression on his face: "This... this will work? I haven't said the secret spell yet!"

Under normal circumstances, after the storage magic weapon is successfully refined, a secret spell to open the storage magic weapon must be determined, and the storage magic weapon can only be opened after visualizing these secret spells with spiritual thoughts.

Otherwise, a magic storage device without a secret spell is like a house without a door. Anyone can take away the contents at will. Only then can the contents be taken out without a secret spell.

Otherwise, even if the magic storage device is broken, it is impossible to get the contents.

But now, before An Yangzi could tell Li Mu the secret spell of the storage gourd, Li Mu instantly opened the storage space. How could An Yangzi not be surprised?

He was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, stared at Li Mu for a long time, and then sighed: "Mr. Li is really a heavenly man!"

Then he told Li Mu the secret spell of the storage gourd, and then he bid farewell to Li Mu: "There is green energy in the cavity of this corpse demon, and the poor Taoist will use it to refine the elixir. If it can be done, Mr. Li must have a share."

Li Mu said with a smile: "It's just a pot of pills, why take it so seriously? If you are so serious about it, even if there is a panacea, it will be difficult to refine it. It's better to relax your mind and do it easily."

An Yangzi was taken aback for a moment, his heart suddenly became brighter, and he immediately let out a long laugh: "That's right, I'm a poor man!"

He laughed and walked away, gradually walking away.

It was getting late at this time, Li Mu tied the storage gourd to his waist, threw all the things into the gourd, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, towards his own courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw two strong men guarding both sides of the gate. After seeing Li Mu, a man said, "Young master, do you want to come here to find someone? Do you need a report from the villain?"

Li Mu was taken aback: "Who are you?"

He thought he had gone to the wrong house, so he took a few steps back and looked around, and found that this was undoubtedly his own house, and he became more and more puzzled: "Damn it, what's going on?"
