Everyone was silent, which was obviously not a good sign. I forced a smile and said, "It seems that I have matured a lot. How much gray have I lost?"

No one else said anything, but Compass finally said: "It's okay, it's only about 30% white. Amitabha."

They hadn't seen me for just a few hours, and my hair was already 30% gray. No wonder I was so shocked. Only someone as free and easy as Compass could say the word "it's okay."

Lu Qingwen asked: "You are not cursed by some kind of spell, are you?"

I thought of Dongxu. He was half human and half zombie. He once sucked away more than 90% of my spiritual energy and used my body to filter the dead energy. I'm afraid he was affected by this.

Xiaoxue said in my heart: "No, it's because you are approaching the end of your life, and you are constantly overtired and mentally exhausted, which has led to gray hair. You only have less than four years left. Judging from the remaining amount of innate vitality, it is equivalent to a

…People over sixty years old.”

"What?" I was shocked. I didn't expect that I had reached such a serious level. No wonder it was difficult to recover after exhausting my physical strength and energy today. I always felt powerless and extremely weak. I turned out to be equivalent to a person over sixty years old.

!

People asked me one after another: "What's wrong?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "If a miracle doesn't happen, I can only live less than four years. Now I am equivalent to an old man over sixty years old, so... well, at least I don't look that old on the outside, which is a good thing.

"

Lin Mei held my hand tightly, and I felt her hand trembling slightly. Companion said "Amitabha", and no one else spoke.

Xiaoxue said in my heart: "Sir, you can't be too optimistic. Although your body is still strong and young now, it is like a tree without roots or water without a source. It will age rapidly in the future. Every time you use physical strength and mental energy excessively, it will aggravate your health."

As your body ages, even if you take good care of it, it will gradually decline, so you have to prepare for certain things in advance."

I didn't understand what she meant by making preparations early. Xiaoxue sighed: "There are three unfilial piety, the worst is not having children. If you want to leave some bones and blood, you should do it sooner rather than later. If you want to have a baby,

I’m afraid I won’t be able to give birth to a boy and a half girl.”

I was stunned again. In fact, I have thought about this issue, but I didn't expect it to be so urgent, so I have been trying my best to avoid it and don't want to touch it. I grew up in a rural area and received a traditional education. The concept of getting married and having children is still very important.

Yes, of course I hope that the incense can be passed down. But the hope of finding the eight jade charms is very slim. It is very likely that I will die in three or four years. How can I bear to leave orphans and widowed mothers to suffer in the world?

I never want to hurt innocent people, let alone the people who love me and me. I know that there is no life but death, but I use Lin Mei to have a child. How can I do this? But if I don’t give birth, it’s possible that I will

There was nothing left when she was dying, and Lin Mei had no hope of living anymore...

This is a difficult choice.

Seeing me in a daze, Lu Qingwen thought I was afraid of death, so she said excitedly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find all eight jade talismans within four years and send you to a young age!"

I didn't want to say anything more to her, so I smiled dryly and said, "Anyone who has the strength will take action, gather the bodies together, burn them, and then leave here."

Lu Qingwen glanced at Cang Wu's body in the distance: "Have you found the jade talisman?"

"It's not on him. What do you think this is?" I said, taking out the magnetic card and handing it over.

Lu Qingwen took it and took a closer look. Others also came over to take a look, but apart from knowing that it was a magnetic card, they had no other insights. Lu Qingwen said doubtfully: "This should be a key card, used in some important high-tech departments, or with high confidentiality."

The department requires this kind of key card to enter, and the door can be opened by swiping it in the card reader. There may also be a key card for some kind of safe, which is required to open it."

I frowned secretly: "You mean the bank's safe deposit box?"

"No, I haven't heard of any bank's safe deposit box using such a magnetic card to open the lock. It is only used in some very high-end places... There is no electricity here, so this thing will definitely not be used. When I return to the city, I will contact professionals to identify it.

."

That's all I can do now. I didn't expect that after all the hardships and narrow escapes, I couldn't find what I wanted, not even reliable clues. Coupled with the shadow of aging, I was extremely frustrated.

After taking the pills given by Gao Feng and resting for a while, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei were able to walk on their own strength. Yuangui and Huang Yilan had already put on their clothes. Yuangui was unscathed, and Huang Yilan lost all his hair and fine hair.

My eyebrows are gone, but my skin is a little red and swollen.

I was surprised and asked Compass: "Why are your clothes corroded by blood and water, and you are completely fine?"

Yuan Gui also looked puzzled, touched his bald head, and said with a smile: "Of course the Buddha is blessing me."

This answer is universal and can explain any difficult and complicated diseases. I was speechless and turned around to ask Huang Yilan: "Are you okay?"

Huang Yilan looked at her hands and feet: "It's okay, it's like being scalded by hot water, it's a little burning."

Xiaoxue said in my heart: "Buddhist magical powers can also be invulnerable to water and fire, and invulnerable to all poisons. The compass was in good condition at the time, and maybe blood and water could not touch his body; Huang Yilan should have some resistance and is not afraid of blood and water corrosion. Fortunately, it was

It’s the two of them who are sprayed, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!”

I secretly wiped away a cold sweat. If one of us dies here, how can I feel at ease? I can't take them to too dangerous places in the future.

"Oh, I didn't want to be a monk, but I didn't expect to become a monk." Huang Yilan felt resentful and touched her bald head from time to time.

Yuan Gui smiled and said: "This means that you are destined to be my Buddha, so you should just become a poor monk."

"Go, go, go, if you dare to take me in, I will break all the rules and make your Buddha so angry that he jumps off the shrine!"

"Amitabha……"

After disposing of the body, we gathered together to discuss where to go. Based on the clues, everyone agreed that this place had been abandoned by the Xuanming Sect, and only Dongxu and Venerable Xuanming were inconvenient to take away and stay here. Cangwu reactivated this place in order to deal with me.

, the four copper zombies and more than twenty iron zombies may be the guards who stayed here originally, or they may be the thugs commanded by Cangwu.

So where is the new base of the Xuanming Sect? Who is their leader? Why did they abandon their old nest that had been in business for hundreds of years and start a new one? There are too many questions that are difficult to explain.

I thought of the old witch Muyun in Huangjia Village, but her witchcraft was obviously different from the Xuanming Sect's skills. She only protected the village and ignored the outside world. It was unlikely that she was the leader of the Xuanming Sect. The nearby villages may

There is some connection with the Xuanming Sect, but it is definitely not the main force of the Xuanming Sect. The Xuanming Sect must have moved to a far away place, otherwise they would have already rushed to support us if we made such a big noise.

Since it is an abandoned place, it is not worth wasting our time to search. We started to walk back and went to a higher place to look down. I was sure that the valley was a semi-natural and artificially constructed Yin gathering array, but

Now the Yin Qi is not as heavy as when it came in. This shows that the Yin Qi in the blood pool and nearby has not been replenished in time after being purified, and further shows that the Yin Qi in the earth veins has been weakened or even exhausted. Perhaps this is the biggest reason why the Xuanming Sect abandoned this place.

As the saying goes, emperors take turns. When you come to my house next year, the dragon veins will shift. Hundreds of years are enough for the mountains and rivers to change, and the aura of the earth veins to shift. So it is not surprising that the yin energy of the earth veins here has dried up.

We walked out of the cave peacefully. It was still dark, everything was quiet, there were very few sounds of insects at night, and there was no trace of Lu Qiang. However, Xiaoxue soon found him sleeping in a big tree.

It was safe and we breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei lost too much blood and were weak, so they urgently needed nutrition. The dry food we brought was not nutritious, and the nearby villages were not willing to accept outsiders. We had no choice but to return to the city first. Xuanming Sect

For clues, I can only rely on that magnetic card of unknown origin.

We were very careful on the way back for fear of encountering powerful enemies, but we did not encounter any danger. When we reached the place where the boulders collapsed, someone was already building the road, and there happened to be a truck transporting workers and machinery.

The truck was going back to the city, so we gave the driver some money and took a ride back to Jishou.

Before the car entered the city, Lu Qiang got out of the car and left. I know he was afraid of being seen with us, but would it be safe if he left? I was worried about this, but we can't protect him all the time.

, in fact, we don’t know where the enemy is at all, and we can’t even guarantee our own safety, so how can we guarantee his safety? We can only let him go.

We stayed in a relatively remote inn, and Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng left with their magnetic cards, without saying where they were going or how long they would be going. Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei ate plenty of food and meat, and took both food and medicine.

After eating, he slept for a long time. Huang Yilan's skin redness and swelling disappeared after two days, but it was still unknown whether his hair and eyebrows would grow again. Therefore, he was depressed and stared at TV all day looking for hair growth ads.

My mental and physical strength have basically recovered, but I do feel that I am not as good as before. My hair is much whiter, especially my temples, which are half white. I look like a fifty-six-year-old man. Fortunately, there are no wrinkles on my face.

The muscles are still hard, and they don't seem to be as scary as Xiaoxue said.

Lin Mei put the relic necklace on me and followed me almost step by step, as if she was afraid that I would suddenly disappear. However, she was afraid of being laughed at by her companions, so she slept separately from me at night.

On the second night after returning to the city, after Lin Mei left, I was about to meditate and practice. Xiaoxue suddenly said: "Master, it's a good thing that you learned the Xuanyin True Yang Claw this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come back. But Xuanyin True Yang Claw

The Yang Claw consumes a lot of spiritual energy and has no obvious effect against ghosts. You should refine a magic weapon that has a powerful effect against Yin and evil things."

"How to practice?"

"Have you forgotten the inner elixir of the Fire Scale Mountain Dragon? In the past, you were not strong enough to refine it, but now you can. It's just that you have been too busy to refine it. If you have nothing else to do, you can give it a try now.
