Chapter 42: Talking about Louses

Chapter 42: Talking about lice

The shopkeeper said in an angry tone: "How else can I tell you to have more eyes! Don't you think that dog looks familiar?"

The guard lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "It seems to be very similar to the dog of Prince Wuyang from before."

Prince Wuyang Hou also visited Yiyun Tower before, and he wisely let the prince enter with his dog.

"It's not very similar, it's the same one!" said the shopkeeper: "Even Prince Wuyang wants to give dogs to befriend people. Do you want to let him bring dogs in?"

The guard was sweating profusely after hearing this.

Seeing that Li Hao was dressed in ordinary clothes, he just regarded him as an ordinary customer.

Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that the other person has an extraordinary temperament!

That's right, if you weren't an expert, how could you let Prince Wuyang give him a dog to make friends with?

Thanks to the shopkeeper, he came to his rescue, otherwise he wouldn’t even know when he offended the master!

----

Li Hao took Xiao Huang and wandered around in Yiyun Tower.

This Yiyun Building is indeed extraordinary. It has all kinds of products, but the most popular ones are antiques that are contaminated with strange powers.

Li Hao learned from other people's conversations that such antiques contaminated with strange powers are collectively called weird objects.

Compared with Yiyun Tower, my own Baibaozhai is really nothing.

However, he had no intention of buying, he was just browsing casually.

Suddenly, he felt the dog leash tighten in his hand.

He looked at Xiao Huang and saw Xiao Huang sitting on the ground, staring at an antique on the shelf.

Li Hao followed Xiao Huang's line of sight and saw a palm-sized bronze fragment on the shelf. In the sea of ​​​​qi, the "Zhaotian Liji" monument also became restless, as if he was craving for this piece of bronze. fragments.

The clerk at the counter had excellent eyesight and immediately took out the bronze fragment and placed it on the counter.

He did not hand it directly to Li Hao. This was the rule of antique novels, and treasures should not be handed over.

Li Hao picked up the bronze fragments from the counter and looked at them carefully.

This fragment was ordinary and had no lines. Although it had a hint of strange power, from Li Hao's point of view, it was just average.

However, the Zhaotian Standing Monument reacted greatly to this fragment. The moment Li Hao touched the fragment, the speed at which the strange power of the Zhaotian Standing Monument overflowed increased by a full ten percent.

Li Hao looked at the price and wrote 50 taels.

It is indeed a big store. If you put it at Baibaozhai at this price, it will definitely not be sold.

Li Hao took out the money and handed it to the waiter.

In a large store like Yiyunlou, small items like this are clearly marked with prices, and there is no bargaining.

After the clerk collected the money, he wrote a small ticket to Li Hao.

Li Hao picked up the bronze fragments and continued walking with Xiao Huang.

Soon, Li Hao came to a counter. The shelves behind the counter were filled with books.

Most of them are common books such as classics and history, some are story novels, and there are even a few erotic albums.

Li Hao, however, fell in love with a book called "Man Liao Tan Gui Lu".

It's not because of anything else, but because the book contains the word "cunning".

The sharp-eyed clerk immediately took the book from the shelf and handed it to Li Hao, boasting at the same time:
"Your Majesty, you have a good eye! This "Monster's Notes on Strange Things" is the notes of a great scholar from the previous dynasty. It was not widely published at that time. Your Majesty, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it!"

Li Hao nodded, readily paid ten taels of silver, took the book and left.

----

into the night.

Li Hao's Baibaozhai is in the front and backyard of the store. You can sleep in the back room at night.

He closed the door of Baibaozhai, went back to the room, lit a candle, and studied the bronze fragments.

This bronze fragment looks ordinary and has nothing special about it, but it can make the Zhaotian Liji Monument extremely restless, increasing the speed at which its strange power overflows by [-]%!
He looked at it for a long time without seeing what was going on, so he injected spiritual energy into it.However, the bronze fragment still did not respond. With the massive spiritual energy injected into it, it was like a mud cow entering the sea without causing any waves.

Li Hao gritted his teeth and simply summoned the power of thunder.

Just kill the weird ones, it’s only 50 taels anyway...

However, as the power of thunder was injected into it, the bronze fragments finally reacted, and the rust on the surface cracked like bark, and fell to the ground with a crackle.

Under the mottled rust, the exquisite texture inside is revealed.

As all the lines of the fragments appeared, a strong and strange power was also released from the bronze fragments.

Li Hao couldn't help but frown. The strange power on the bronze fragments actually gave him a "heavy" feeling.

Strange power and thickness are clearly two words that are completely different from each other.

and……

In his sea of ​​Qi, the Zhaotian Liji Monument became even more restless, and the speed at which the strange power overflowed was [-]% higher than usual!

Li Hao mobilized the power of thunder, and silver lightning flashed in his hands. The dark and strange power released by the bronze fragments was also purified under the silver lightning and turned into pure spiritual energy, which was absorbed by Li Hao .

However, half an hour has passed, and the strange power on the bronze fragments has still not been wiped out.

Is it possible...

Are these bronze fragments the same type of objects as the Zhaotian Liji Monument?

Zhaotian Liji Monument also continuously releases strange power, and his own power of thunder cannot be completely purified.

never mind!

Li Hao thought for a while, threw the bronze fragments aside, and began to read "The Record of Men Liao Tan Gui Lu".

This is a notebook of strange things written by the great scholar Mu Anlan of the former dynasty. It was not widely published at the beginning, and it is even more difficult to circulate it now.

Mu Anlan's words were simple and engaging. Li Hao was fascinated and read the entire notebook in an hour.

This notebook talks about foxes and weirdness, and records many things related to weirdness.

For example, there was a beggar who stayed in a deserted temple and had sex with a fox-tailed woman in his dream. When he woke up the next day, he ate the marrow and knew the taste, which was unforgettable.From then on, he did not think about food and tea, and came to this deserted temple to sleep every day, and eventually died of starvation in the temple.

Another example is that someone invited a Buddha statue at home and worshiped it every day. However, a family member contracted a strange disease that was difficult to cure with medicine and stone. After inviting a Taoist priest, they discovered that there was a strange mouse hidden in the Buddha statue, just like the "Sanxiao Empress" that Li Hao met. "Same.

However, what interests Li Hao the most is a story about the coexistence of man and evil.

There was a scholar who was concentrating on reading in the mountains.

It stands to reason that a person's shadow cannot leave the person, otherwise it will disappear as soon as it is exposed to the sun.

But there wasn't much sunlight in the mountains, so the shadow left the scholar and played in the mountains all day, turning into something strange.

Suddenly one day, Shadow sensed that the scholar had finished his article and was about to go out to take the exam, so he quickly returned to the scholar.

With the help of the mysterious shadow, the scholar passed the Jinshi examination and became successful in the officialdom.

Man and evil coexist...

How do we make people coexist with each other?

Li Hao couldn't help thinking.

There is a Zhaotian Liji Monument in his body, which overflows with strange power all the time.

If he wasn't carrying the power of thunder, he would have to use spiritual energy to kill it.

Li Hao saw that the ordinary people in the strange city did not have spiritual energy, but they also exuded strange power.

How did these people do it?

Li Hao put his hand on his chin with doubt in his eyes.

The candlelight flickered, lengthening Li Hao's shadow on the wall.

And beside Li Hao's shadow, at some point, a human-shaped shadow appeared.

He held a sharp knife and stabbed Li Hao!
