Copper Coins

With a flick of a finger, Xuan Min evaporated the monk's robes in a flash, released the steamed Jiang Shining, and followed Nianqi with strides, heading for the river bank ahead where the passenger boats gathered.

Xue Xian was wrapped around his wrist, his slender tail drooped unconsciously, and a little bit of the tip protruded from the cuff, dangling.He arched under the sleeves, and finally poked out a dragon head half the size of a finger, tilting his head to look at Twenty Seven.

Although this kid was exceptionally thin and small before, he was more energetic than Shijiu, probably because he often went out for running, and his temper was a bit stubborn, so he always seemed to have strong muscles and bones. He was a hard-headed brat.

But right now, every step he takes seems extremely difficult.His steps were light and floating, as if he couldn't help lifting his feet as soon as he touched the ground, and it was uncomfortable to use a little more force.It looked quite strenuous... as if enduring great pain.

After only a dozen or so steps, his face was as white as paper, and a layer of cold sweat broke out just after the wet river water on his forehead was blown dry.

"You just said that your health is not right? What's going on?" Xue Xian saw that his complexion was extremely bad, guessing that it was not just caused by mourning, so he couldn't help asking.

Twenty-seven's lips were already bloodless white, as if he hadn't recovered from a serious illness and had a high fever that didn't go away.The paler his face, the more his eyes looked dark, so black that there was no light, he didn't look like a living person.His eyelashes trembled, he stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I don't really understand, it's just... It's just that the bones are sore and painful, and when the feet hit the ground, it hurts from toes to Head, don't dare to use too much force."

He replied in a low voice, and without waiting for Xue Xian to speak again, he said softly again: "Just pass it... It's not worse than dying."

Jiang Shining glanced at him hastily, and said, "Not sure."

Lu Nianqi suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Jiang Shining. Although he was actually older than he looked, in Jiang Shining's eyes, he was still a half-grown child, and he spoke recklessly without any scruples.He suddenly asked Jiang Shining: "Aren't you alive?"

In that instant, even Xue Xian, who was tucked into his cuffs, felt that Lu Nianqi's eyes lit up a little, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

With Jiang Shining's temper, he would talk back to Xue Xian from time to time, and he didn't know the same things as children.He froze for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, I have been dead for three years, but my wish is not fulfilled, and I am temporarily living on a piece of paper."

When Lu Nianqi heard the words, the road was not smooth.The sole of his foot stepped on the ground with the wrong strength, and he cried out in pain, and another layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.However, he didn't care about it at all, just stared at Jiang Shining and said, "Really? In this way, even if you die, you won't necessarily disappear without a trace?"

Jiang Shining glanced at Xuan Min, then looked at Lu Nianqi, and said vaguely, "The living soul will stay for a while, if it's a special case, it's okay to stay for a while, master?"

Xuan Min glanced at them and didn't speak, but he didn't deny it either, he just raised his finger and pointed ahead, indicating that they had arrived.There are many boatmen and fishermen gathered here, and there are too many people to talk about, so it is inconvenient to talk about these ghosts and ghosts.

Lu Nianqi seemed to have accepted him as his acquiescence, and his expression softened a lot.

On the river bank in front of them, seven or eight passenger boats and fishing boats made up a pile, all tied to the bank.As for the people on the boat, they got off the boat one after another, and several people worked together to drag something from a larger boat.

"Oh my god... when did these people fall into the water?" Someone clicked their tongues a few times, "Why are they soaked?"

"I've been fishing for corpses on this river for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a battle." That was the voice of the corpse collector.

Since Lu Nianqi cheated the corpse on his boat, the corpse hunter abandoned the remaining floating corpses for the time being, and transported the three on the boat back to the river bank.He carried Lu Shijiu and old man Liu up to the stone surface, set up Lu Nianqi and settled down by the river, poured him a few sips of hot wine to warm his cold body, and then went to the boat to catch the rest of them. .

The fishermen and boatmen who were resting by the river also gave their hands one after another after hearing the description of the corpse hunter.

It is not convenient for their boats to carry dead people. After all, they have to carry fish and passengers, which is somewhat unlucky.So they helped the corpse hunters drag the floating corpses soaked like cotton wool ashore, and arranged them in a row. At first glance, they were quite shocking.

Xuan Min frowned when he saw the row of floating corpses.

"That just surprised me." The corpse hunter just arrived at the shore, and was carrying the last corpse to the shore. As a result, when I went to fish for the last two, for some reason, another one floated up, which happened to be floating on the side of my boat, and that feeling... was amazing!"

Xue Xian secretly scratched Xuan Min with his paw, and muffled in his sleeve, he said in a low voice, "Bald donkey, look at those corpses. The one that the corpse hunter mentioned should be put on the river by me. These corpses are the same as those corpses." The Baishi Tui Liu Bureau can't get rid of the responsibility, I will tell you in detail later, you should pay attention to it for the time being, and see if there is anything strange about the corpse."

His voice sounded muffled, and others couldn't hear it clearly, but Xuan Min could hear it a little bit, as if it came to his ears along the gap in his sleeve.

Xuan Min frowned slightly, turned his face to the side, said "hmm", and flicked the tip of the evil's tail calmly with his fingers hidden under his sleeve, signaling him not to mess around in front of people. Move, be quiet.

As a result, the evil barrier bit his finger fiercely.

Xuan Min said indifferently: "Let go."

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi were stunned at the same time: "What let up?"

Xuan Min's complexion did not change, and he still looked at the floating corpses that had been brought ashore with no expression. His eyes swept over one by one, from the ankles that were so rotten that the bones could be seen, to the messy hair, and the group of people on the shore who covered their noses and wrinkled their faces. Compared with the retching person, there is a kind of aura that is floating in the dust.

Probably because this temperament was too bluffing, after Jiang Shining didn't get an answer, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, just pretending that his tinnitus was gone, he silently turned his head away.

Xue Xian, who had the tip of his tail flicked off, took Xuan Min's finger in his mouth and bit it fiercely for a long time before letting go of his anger.

Xue Xian's guess was right. Although there were not many strange things on the seven floating corpses, they all had something hanging from their waists.Taking advantage of the group of fishermen and boatmen vomiting and breathing heavily, Xuan Min used the white linen cloth between his fingers, and calmly took off all the things around their waists.

There are seven in a row, all of which are military iron plates with names.

It is obvious from this look that these people are the same group as the ones at the bottom of the tomb.

Xue Xian saw that he had wrapped the iron plates in sackcloth and put them away, and said: "By the way, the iron plates buried in the bottom of the river are still there, but they are not complete. Let's take a closer look later."

Having said that, Xuan Min had already walked to Lu Shijiu's body.

Twenty-seven was sitting there on his knees, raising his hands and groping vainly, as if he wanted to touch Nineteen, but he didn't dare to disturb him.As if he was afraid that if he moved, Nineteen would really die.

"Look—" Nian Qi raised his head, his eyes fell on Xuan Min, but somehow he was a bit empty, more and more like... a blind person.

"I can feel him here, I can touch him, but I can't see him." Twenty-seven said, "I can see you, and the people on this shore. I can see it. But I can’t see Nineteen alone.”

Xuan Min glanced at Nineteen who was lying on the river stone with his eyes closed, stared at Nianqi's dark eyes for a moment, and said, "What you call 'seeing' is not 'seeing' with your eyesight, your eyes are already It’s just that I didn’t realize it.”

"What do you mean by that?" Nianqi's voice tightened.

Xue Xian peeked out his head from under the sleeves, staring at Nian Qi's eyes, and said, "No wonder, my eyes became dull after being submerged in the backwater."

He thought for a while, and said to Nianqi: "Lu Shijiu changed his life with you, and I'm afraid it will fall on you together with the shackles. Most of the changes in your body are also related to this, but it hasn't changed yet. Complete, so I have to suffer some flesh and blood."

Lu Nianqi was stunned for a moment, then said blankly, "You mean...you mean, my eyes will become the same as Nineteen's?"

"No, I'm afraid it has changed most of it." Xue Xian said, "The things in your eyes may no longer be their outlines, but their aura. Everything you see in your eyes is about Lu Jiujiu's usual day. see."

"Then I can't see Nineteen because..." Nianqi's nose moved, as if he was suddenly out of breath, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.He frowned, his eye circles turned red in the blink of an eye, "Because of what?"

Xuan Min raised his hand and pressed the palace of life on his forehead with his thumb, "You have a red mole here, and your brother has an identical mole, this is a sign of the completion of the life change. If he lives the soul If you linger in the world and don't leave for a long time, this mole will not appear."

The act of life-changing is actually a forbidden technique, even if the life-changing is successful, the surviving person will probably become a little weird.It's just because of how much he will inherit from the person who sacrificed his life, or the appearance is getting more and more similar, or the ability and temperament are getting more and more blurred.The longer the living soul of the person who sacrificed his life stays in the world, the deeper the impact on the survivors will be.

In other words, in order not to have too much influence on Lu Nianqi, Lu Nineteen did not stay for even a moment. The unsalty words he left to Nianqi in the tomb were the real parting words.

It's just that this parting is about to see each other indefinitely.

"Don't cry." Jiang Shining couldn't find any veils, so he caught the water drops silently falling from his eyes with his fingers, "Maybe..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Nianqi had lost consciousness with a pale face.

Maybe it was the unbearable pain in the flesh, or maybe it was the bad news, he fainted for a long time.

No matter how indifferent Xuan Min was, and no matter how stupid Xue Xian was, if he couldn't do the thing of leaving behind two half-grown young men who were stunned and dying, then it would be nothing.So they temporarily lived in the small courtyard where Lu Nianqi and Lu Shijiu depended on each other.

This courtyard is really a snail's house, with only a kitchen and a small dusty hall. There is only room for a four-immortal table in the hall, and there is a side room on each side, which is only enough to put the bed and Wooden cabinets, about one room for each of the two brothers.

He said he was staying, but in fact, the only one who really "lived" was Lu Nianqi who passed out.Xuan Min and the others placed him in one of the rooms, and ordered a coffin from the funeral shop on the street.Lu Shijiu slept in the coffin and temporarily put it in another room.

Just when Xuan Min sat down in the hall and was about to ponder over the stone lock and the iron plate, Xue Xian poked his head out from his cuff quietly: "Don't sit too busy, find a tailor shop, a cloth shop is also fine."

Xuan Min looked down at him, waiting for him to explain why.

Xue Xian scratched the dragon's head with his paws, and said in the most majestic tone possible, "No clothes."

Xuan Min: "..."

He seemed to be quite speechless, his eyes glanced roughly at the little dragon, and he replied exactly what Xue Xian had said to him before: "Which book teaches you to go naked to others?" Wrapped around your wrist?"

Xue Xian opened his mouth and bit him.

The fangs of this scoundrel are so sharp that a bite makes a mark.

Xuan Min lifted up his sleeves indifferently, revealing his thin and slender fingers, slightly bent his middle and middle fingers, and presented them in front of Xue Xian.

On those two fingers, there are at least six tooth marks in the front, back and back, all of which were bitten by this evil barrier.

Xue Xian turned his head, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said, "Don't show off your hand, it's not much more beautiful than a chicken's paw, and it's also very disgusting. It's not useful, and it's not comfortable at all. Please move Legs, get me some clothes."

As soon as Jiang Shining entered the room, he could not bear to hear this villain's mischief, so he turned his head and retreated to the corner of the dark kitchen.

Xuan Min shook his head, got up and went out the door.

This trip was only to get some clothes for Xue Xian to wear, but in the end there were some unexpected gains.
