Altar of Infinity

The weather only cleared up briefly yesterday when Niu Kuyin was buried, and it returned to oppressive gloom today.

Li Han's boyfriend knelt on the ground and wept loudly, his voice breaking into wailing: "Why? Why! Isn't Niu Kuyin already buried in the burial pit! Why is he still coming out to kill people!"

Everyone's relaxation yesterday was swept away, no one answered Li Han's question, and no one was in the mood to express comfort.

Xie Ji carefully recalled everything that happened yesterday.

If the strange thing happened yesterday, he was the only one who was made difficult and unable to light the sacrificial incense. Why did Niu Kuyin come to Li Han at night?

Which rule did Li Han violate?

After the birdsong on the tree branch disappeared, the villagers arrived on time and wanted to take away Li Han's body forcibly, on the grounds that the dirt should not contaminate Lao Niu's former home.

Li Han's boyfriend sat on his knees for too long, staggered a step when he got up, looked at the villagers with the same unbelievable expression as Li Han, and shouted loudly: "Foulness? She is a human! A living person!!"

Wang Liang pulled Li Han's boyfriend, trying to calm him down.

The fear and worry that had been suppressed for a few days, and the aggrievedness of carefully lowering your head and pretending to be your grandson were temporarily suppressed yesterday, and they counterattacked more violently this morning.

Li Han's boyfriend threw Wang Liang away, and said to the villagers who stole his girlfriend: "She is a human! The one you buried in the soil yesterday is the filth! It's a monster!"

His cheeks and eyes were flushed with anger, beads of sweat hung on his forehead, his muscles bulged under his clothes, and his whole body was extremely manic.

Li Han is dead.

Li Han is dead!

It's all because of Niu Kuyin!

Because of this damned altar!

He bumped into the crowd recklessly, and ran to the east room where Niu Kuyin's spiritual tablet was placed.

Wang Dan: "What are you doing! Are you crazy?!"

He ignored Wang Dan, and raised the spiritual tablet high above his head and was about to smash it down.

The moment he exerted his strength, a powerful big hand suddenly grabbed his wrist, preventing him from even shaking it.

He looked at the person coming.

He was the man who had messed with Niu Kuyin from the first day of the novice level, and then managed to survive after making a lot of tricks.

Xie Ji's voice was calm: "Don't be impulsive."

Li Han's boyfriend roared angrily: "It's not your girlfriend who died! It's not you who died!"

Xie Ji: "Falling the spirit seat can't solve the problem, what are you going to do after you fall?"

Li Han's boyfriend: "I dropped it first, and then went to dig out Niu Kuyin and fight him to the death!"

An impulsive person is always courageous.

Li Han's boyfriend is sincere, so it won't cause people to laugh at him, but he must not really let him fall from the spiritual position.

Jiang Jichu took half a step secretly. Niu Kuyin is evolving every day, and human blood is a nourishment for him. Li Han died last night. At that time, none of them could stand it.

Xie Ji: "You can't beat Niu Kuyin, and Li Han wants you to do this?"

Li Han's boyfriend: "If it were you! Are you willing to die! Don't you want someone to avenge you! Do you want your boyfriend to be a wimp to the murderer after you die!"

Jiang Ji trembled when he heard the words, his calf, which had already accumulated strength, stopped stiffly in place, and the complexion he had cultivated with great difficulty instantly turned white again, like a mountain spirit with a beautiful painted skin but no popularity.

He clenched the long knife tightly, his eyes wandered around, and finally stopped on Xie Ji's calm and persuasive face.

With Xie Ji's hand strength, he can completely grab the spiritual position, but he is only in a stalemate with Li Han's boyfriend: "I am not reconciled. If my lover is strong and willing to avenge me, I will be very happy."

"But if she doesn't have that strength, I hope she forgets her hatred and lives in this world peacefully and safely. I won't blame her, and I will be very happy."

The pupils finally solidified, and the watch that was broken into two pieces was still in Jiang Jichu's trouser pocket, icy stuck to his thigh through a layer of fabric.

He even had the hallucination of hearing the pointer move, and every second was deeply stirred in his flesh, painful and awake.

Xie Ji's words were soft and hard, and Li Han's boyfriend knelt down slowly with trembling legs, relaxed his grip on the hand holding the spirit seat, and compromised to reality with sobs.

Seeing that Li Han's boyfriend was persuaded, Xie Ji planned to put the spiritual tablet back on the table.

But when he just took over the spiritual tablet from Li Han's boyfriend, the spiritual tablet broke in two out of thin air and hit his feet directly.

Before he could retreat, Jiang Jichu flew up and kicked the still falling spiritual tablet.

Jiang Jichu's feet were heavy, and the spirit seat was kicked and slammed into the wall with the wind. It was cut into eight pieces, and one of them was inserted into the wall.

Xie Ji: "..."

Li Han's boyfriend: "..."

other people:"……"

Xie looked at the pile of broken wood by the wall.

The spiritual seat was broken in his hands, but Jiang Jichu kicked it to pieces.

Jiang Jichu was also a little embarrassed after kicking, he slowly withdrew his foot: "Subconsciously."

Xie Ji laughed: "It's you and me again tonight."

Jiang Jichu: "There is no difference."

Anyway, it was impossible for Jiang Jichu to let Xie Ji face Niu Kuyin alone. If Niu Kuyin killed him, then who would he seek revenge after going out?

Li Han's boyfriend asked blankly: "Then, what about the spiritual seat?"

After all, Wang Dan was not the person involved, so he was still terrified and said rationally: "I have to get another spiritual seat, Zhenling Zhenling, if there is no spiritual seat, why should I suppress it?"

Xie Ji proposed: "Go buy a bottle of 502?"

Wang Dan's eyes widened: "Are you kidding?!"

Xie Ji smiled: "Just kidding, I'll go find Uncle Niu and make another one later."

Wang Dan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xie Ji suspiciously again.

This person just now...was he joking?

Regardless of whether Xie Ji was joking or not, after breakfast, he and Jiang Jichu went to find Uncle Niu.

If there were only the two of them in the Niu family, he would even choose to ignore the spiritual seat, but there are other people living there. If Zhenling does not have a spiritual seat, he might be massacred by Niu Kuyin, and innocent people would be implicated.

After inquiring, the two learned that Uncle Niu, as a highly respected senior in the village, would be called to handle village affairs in the morning, and usually had to wait until sunset to find someone at Uncle Niu's house.

They have not been idle for most of the day, continuing to search for Niu Er's body.

Not at Niu's house, not at the cemetery, where did Niu Kuyin hide Niu Er?

Where can it be hidden?

The sky in Niujia Village is getting darker and darker. When it comes from all directions, it looks like a vast cage. There are many dragonflies flying low on the river, and small fish come together to spit bubbles.

It's going to rain again tonight.

Xie Ji doesn't like rain, and he doesn't like too closed spaces.

He withdrew his gaze, and said to Jiang Jichu who was walking beside him: "As an important element of the level, Niu Er's body will definitely be in a place we know but ignore."

Jiang Jichu: "Yes."

Xie Ji: "Niujia Village is too big, so it's not an option to just bury your head in the search. You still have to find clues."

Jiang Jichu: "Yes."

Xie Ji: "What's for dinner tonight?"

Jiang Jichu: "Hmm... um? Either way."

Xie Ji was amused by Jiang Jichu's return to his senses: "What were you thinking just now, so engrossed."

Jiang Jichu: "Niu Kuyin doesn't know how far he has evolved. You are asking for trouble for helping Li Han's boyfriend this morning."

It turned out that he was thinking about this, Xie Ji said helplessly: "Then you can't just watch him die."

"Now it's just a novice level, and you still have a chance to survive. When you get to the next level, your behavior is to be buried with him." Jiang Jichu stopped, looking straight at him with overly beautiful eyes, "Xie Ji, this is the altar world. It's not your beautiful world full of flowers."

Xie Ji followed and stopped.

Jiang Jichu's expression was calm, and what he said was more or less indifferent.

He thought again that if he hadn't accidentally smashed the other party's watch, Jiang Jichu would never have taken the initiative to have any communication with him. He would just be an ordinary master wandering around the edge of the checkpoint, watching everyone's life and death with cold eyes.

Enter the level alone, and then leave alone.

He didn't know what Jiang Jichu had experienced, but these must be the accumulated experience of countless life and death moments.

"I understand what you mean, and I won't waste my good intentions on unworthy things." Xie Ji, "But on the premise that I can protect myself, if I meet someone who can help, I'm still willing to help."

"You know that I have a younger brother. His life and death are unknown now. If he also enters the altar, I hope someone will treat him like this."

Jiang Jichu's long eyelashes fluttered, but fell silent.

Xie Ji remembered that Jiang Jichu had an older brother.

Maybe Jiang Jichu was thinking about him.

·

When they found Uncle Niu, he was sitting on the grand master's chair in the main hall of his home, counting money happily.

The face that was originally smiling like a morning glory thanked the ground when it saw the two of them, and collected the banknotes on the table with both hands.

Uncle Niu was full of disapproval: "What are you doing here!"

"Old Niu's spirit seat is broken, so I would like to ask you to help me find a new one." Xie Ji has been scrambling in the world for many years, and he still treats Uncle Niu in a friendly manner, even when he talks about you, but he doesn't see you at all. Respectful means.

Uncle Niu was surprised: "It's broken?! Why is it broken?!"

Xie Ji took out the black plastic bag that he carried with him—it was left over from the previous grocery shopping: "Maybe Mr. Niu is not satisfied with the material of this spiritual tablet, can you take a look and change it to another one?"

God damn not satisfied with the material!

This is a spirit position!If it's broken, why don't you find a box made of golden nanmu and put it on your body in a plastic bag?

Uncle Niu resisted the urge to scold people: "The spiritual tablets in Niujia Village are all made of high-quality blemish wood. This kind of wood is hard to find now!"

Xie sent a clear nod.

Isn't it just asking for money... He really doesn't have much cash left now, and he has a bank card with him, but there is no ATM in Niujia Village.

He felt that Jiang Jichu was moving, and immediately stretched out his hand secretly, signaling with his eyes: don't use violence.

Uncle Niu tried his best to straighten his body, trying to urge these two troublemakers to leave, but Xie Ji took a few steps closer, looking very curiously at the table that he hadn't cleaned up in time.

On it is the gift money for Niu Kuyin's funeral and a corner of the receipts for various expenses for the funeral.

No wonder Uncle Niu came to look for them every day. It turned out that in the logic of the level, all the gift money fell into Uncle Niu's hands.

Xie Ji gave Jiang Jichu another look, and pulled the receipt by himself.

Uncle Niu naturally refused, and was about to stop him immediately, but Jiang Jichu forcibly pressed his shoulders and twisted the direction before he touched Xie Ji, and was stuffed into a purple sand teacup in his hand.

Jiang Jichu said forcefully, "Drink water, please."

Uncle Niu: "..." This is an empty glass!
