Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The moment Li Guanqi stood up, all the surrounding noise disappeared.

Dressed in a white robe, a jade tree in the wind, with an extraordinary temperament, surrounded by floating spiritual light.

The mere pressure emanating from him made it hard for them to breathe.

The onlookers couldn't help but leave, realizing Li Guanqi's identity as an immortal.

Not daring to act rashly, they all departed.

Li Guanqi looked at the woman, and with a wave of his hand, he dragged the man's body into the courtyard and said softly.

“The money doesn’t need to be returned.”

The woman kowtowed, crying.

Li Guanqi turned to look at the two of them and smiled.

“What’s wrong?”

“Don’t you want to drink with me?”

The man under the black robe had a resolute face, with distinct features, and a pair of tiger eyes that looked at Li Guanqi with disbelief.

“You… really want to invite us to drink?”

Li Guanqi nodded with a smile, and said very seriously.

“Seriously.”

After hesitating for a moment, the man in black robe turned to look at the young man beside him, with a questioning look in his eyes.

The young man's expression softened, but he still shook his head warily.

“Forget it, thank you for your kindness, Daoist friend.”

“We… are just passers-by, and we’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

Li Guanqi smiled.

“That’s precisely why, as chance acquaintances, what’s wrong with having a drink?”

Li Guanqi thought for a while, and then said.

“If you two feel uncomfortable in a restaurant, we can find a mountain peak outside the city and prepare some wine and dishes.”

Hearing this, even the young man carrying the coffin hesitated.

“You… don’t嫌弃us?”

It had really been a long time since they had a drink.

“Hahahahahaha, I sincerely want to invite you two to drink!”

Seeing the two hesitate, Li Guanqi waved his hand, casually picked a direction, and pointed to the distant mountain peak with a smile.

“Let’s go there, I’ll go buy some appetizers, you can go wait for me first.”

After speaking, Li Guanqi turned his back to the two of them, waved his hand and smiled.

“Wait for me!”

Li Guanqi flashed into a large restaurant, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out dozens of immortal crystals.

“Give me three portions of your restaurant’s signature dishes, and pack up the rest of the restaurant’s aged wine for me.”

The man in black robe rose into the air and turned his head to whisper.

“Ah Xu, are we really going?”

Hao Xu glanced at the man beside him and said softly.

“Let’s go, that guy is only at the first level of True Immortal, what can he do?”

“The key is… I feel like that guy doesn’t have any hostility towards us, and there’s not a hint of disgust in his eyes.”

Hao Xu sighed, his eyes a little dazed, and he smiled self-deprecatingly.

“With our identities and professions, we have the stench of dead people on us all year round.”

“Those ordinary mortals can’t detect it, but he definitely can.”

“In the end, if he hadn’t paid, you wouldn’t have been able to do this ‘business’.”

Gong Jun took off the hat of his black robe, and smiled with a simple and honest face.

“I also think this guy is a good person.”

“My bad… I forgot to mention the money first…”

Hao Xu laughed and hugged his neck.

“It’s okay, this isn’t the first time for you.”

The two found a flat slope on the mountain peak, sat on the slope and looked at the brightly lit Yunling City.

Holding their knees with both hands, the two sat side by side, looking at the bottom with complicated expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.

After half an incense stick of time, Li Guanqi's figure was still not seen.

Gong Jun scratched his head and muttered a little guiltily.

“He wouldn’t be playing us, would he?”

Even Hao Xu had no confidence in his heart, leaning against the coffin and looking up at the night sky.

“If he’s tricking us, then so be it, it’s not bad to lie here and look at the stars.”

However, just when the two of them thought Li Guanqi wouldn't come.

A stream of light rose from the city!

Gong Jun excitedly pointed to the stream of light and said.

“Hahaha, it’s him! He really came!”

Hao Xu got up, his eyes bright.

The inexplicable trust between men made him feel a long-lost warmth.

Li Guanqi flew over, came to the top of the mountain and laughed loudly as he looked at the two of them.

“Luckily, the dishes were a bit slow, I was worried you’d all left.”

After speaking, the light flickered at his fingertips, and instantly a round table fell in front of the two of them.

The table was densely packed with many dishes and wine, stacked up to three layers!

There were more than a dozen jars of wine.

“Hahaha, there’s enough wine, you can take it away if you can’t finish it!”

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The three sat down on the top of the mountain, and Hao Xu took the lead in picking up a jar of wine.

“I am Hao Xu, a puppeteer.”

“I am Gong Jun, a corpse stitcher!”

Li Guanqi laughed loudly, picked up the wine jar and said.

“Great Xia Sword Sect, Li Congxin!”

The three looked at each other and smiled, the wine jars collided, and they raised their heads and drank a whole jar of wine.

No one used their immortal essence, and after a jar of strong wine, everyone's face remained unchanged.

Li Guanqi smiled: “Eat the dishes, let’s chat while eating.”

While drinking, Gong Jun couldn't help but ask curiously.

“Brother Li, did you see something at the time?”

Li Guanqi smiled.

“If I’m not mistaken, Da Jun’s craftsmanship should have some rules in it, right?”

The honest Da Jun did not deny it, and nodded.

“Yes, the ancestors left word that the corpse of a mortal under the mountain must be charged a string of money.”

“Otherwise… the karma is not right.”

Li Guanqi nodded with a solemn expression when he heard this.

Li Guanqi also knew that many people who made a living by their skills basically had some strange rules.

These rules are rules and cannot be broken.

Li Guanqi turned to look at Hao Xu and asked curiously.

“I’ve seen many puppeteers, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone carrying a large coffin.”

“Besides… there’s nothing in your coffin, right?”

Hao Xu's pupils shrank, he didn't expect that the other party could see through his puppet coffin!!

Hao Xu ate two bites of the dish and took a deep look at Li Guanqi's eyes.

He sighed and smiled bitterly.

“Brother Li’s methods are really unfathomable.”

“What you said is indeed correct, there is indeed no one in the coffin…”

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

“People?”

“The puppet you refined is a human puppet?”

Hao Xu sat up straight, and Gong Jun also put down his chopsticks.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little oppressive.

“Yes, a human puppet…”

“I am the only heir of our lineage.”

“But… when it comes to refining human puppets, I can’t get over this hurdle in my heart.”

As he spoke, Hao Xu stroked the black coffin beside him and murmured softly.

“So I’ve always kept the coffin empty.”

Gong Jun was afraid that Li Guanqi would think too much, so he helped Hao Xu to say good things.

“Ah Xu is a good person, he hasn’t done anything that hurts the heavens and harms morality.”

“Right, Ah Xu.”

Bang!

Gong Jun's strength was extremely great, and this slap on Hao Xu's back couldn't help but make a bang.

Hao Xu supported the table with both hands and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

“Or… you can refine me in the future, and your lineage will not be cut off.”

Gong Jun smiled casually.

But Hao Xu's face changed.

He looked at Gong Jun with a serious face and said in a deep voice.

“Fuck your mother’s nonsense!”

“You are not allowed to say that again in the future!!”

Gong Jun nodded with a smile.

Li Guanqi watched the two of them quietly.
