Chapter 170
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi sighed, and couldn't help reminding: "There is another one inside."

Cui Zitao was taken aback when he heard the words, then seemed to have finally remembered something, jumped up suddenly, and slammed into the inner room of the study like a whirlwind.

Not long after, the young man who had undergone sudden changes and his face was full of tears rushed out.

He rushed to Qi Jingzhi, and said in a hasty tone: "Qi Jishi, I know your cultivation is extraordinary, please help save my old servant's life, Cui is very grateful!"

After all, Cui Zitao didn't care whether Qi Jingzhi agreed or not, he grabbed the boy's arm and ran back.

Qi Jingzhi didn't say anything else, and followed the other party quickly into the inner room of the study.

The inside was as messy as the outside, with bloodstains all over the bed and the floor.

The old servant was sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed and covered in blood, a pool of blood had already accumulated under his body.

Qi Jingzhi could see clearly that although the old man was not dead at this time, he only had one breath left.

There was not a single piece of good flesh on the old man's body, his chest was densely covered with tiny wounds that burst and ooze blood, and there were more than a dozen blood holes of different depths scattered here and there, all of which were as thick as fingers, dripping blood voluntarily.

The fatal wound was on his heart, which was as bloody and bloody as Pearl's back, and the slowly beating heart could be faintly seen.

Seeing that Qi Jingzhi was only watching but didn't move at all, Cui Zitao couldn't help but panic and said: "I also ask Qi Ji to act quickly!"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head silently, and pointed at Cui's old servant.

Cui Zitao was startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw his old servant's eyelids moving slightly, opening them slowly and with difficulty.

After a few breaths, a faint light appeared under Cui's old servant's drooping eyelids, looking like a candle in the wind, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next moment.

Just opening his eyes almost exhausted the old man's strength, his lips moved, but he could only make a vague and weak sound.

Cui Zitao hurriedly leaned over and put his ear to his old servant's lips.

Qi Jingzhi didn't go forward, just watched the other person's mouth shape quietly, knowing that he was briefly describing today's events.

The old man was too weak, and he had to slow down for a few words, and the time seemed to be extremely long.During this period, Cui Zitao's complexion changed again and again, with horror, grief, and even disbelief.

Speaking of it, whether it is the plan of the Cui family head and the old servant to revive the family, or the matter of the tiger girl and the ghost boy, the family is full of scheming, but Cui Zitao, who is the person involved, was kept in the dark.

Later, only a deep bewilderment remained on the face of Cui's young county magistrate.

He turned his head to look at his old servant, couldn't bear his uneasy death, wanted to interrupt him, but was afraid that if he interrupted, the old man would lose his breath and die immediately.

Perhaps it was due to his wish being fulfilled. At this moment, Cui's old servant's complexion improved a bit, his breath became stronger, and he was able to utter clearer sentences gradually, but he saw that his young master could no longer hear a word. , and consciously explained that it was almost done, so he simply stopped talking.

The old man turned his neck with some difficulty, looked at Qi Jingzhi who was on the side, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he even nodded his head slightly.

Qi Jingzhi smiled at him and said, "Cui's revival is imminent, and you will definitely be recorded in the family tree in the future! If brother Cui forgets, I will slap him twice for you!"

Hearing these words was comforting words, since Qi Jingzhi could not have seen Cui's family tree, let alone interfere with how they record today's events.

But the old servant's eyes were shining brightly, like the brightness of a bright moon.

His back straightened suddenly, and he yelled out a sentence with all his strength: "The Cui family of Yecheng has been more than [-] years since the first ancestor Donglai Jun established the family, and they have never been willing...never willing to be weak. Yuren! At that time, if you want to smoke the young master, then... that is a dream!"

Before the words were finished, the old man leaned heavily back against the bed, his chest heaved violently, and his whole body was vented.

"Tribo!"

As soon as Cui Zitao supported the old man, he burst into tears.

"The majestic Tiger Cui is not weaker than others..."

The old man's voice gradually weakened, and finally became inaudible, his eyes closed and his head drooped.

At the same time, his two colorful tiger eyebrows that had just grown out fell off one after another, and they fell off completely in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help sighing, this loyal servant seeks benevolence and gets benevolence, so he deserves to die.

He didn't try to persuade Cui Zitao, who was lying on his body and crying loudly, he silently left the room and walked outside the study.

The tiger girl lay on the ground with her head down, not showing the slightest sign of struggling, nor did she respond to the boy's approach.

This tigress, who wants to turn her husband into a ghost and live and die in one place, is quietly waiting for her end.

After a while, the crying in the study gradually stopped.

After a while, Cui Zitao walked out slowly, his eyes were still bloodshot, but there were no traces of tears on his face, and there was no tiger aura around him.

He had already put on his clothes, although the clothes were stained with a lot of blood, but he was dressed very neatly, completely covering the tiger fish on his body.

Qi Jingzhi noticed that Cui Zitao was even holding a scroll in his hand.

I saw the young county magistrate walking up to the tiger girl, lowering his head and looking into those tiger eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled miserably: "It turns out that the meeting between you and me in the past was not accidental, it was really a bad marriage that was carefully planned. In the future, this matter will be spread Going away, I, Cui Zitao, said to me that I have been sloppy and lighthearted, and I have slept with a tiger in my arms for several years, but it can be called an anecdote in the East China Sea."

After finishing speaking, Cui Zitao squatted down, stretched out his hand to caress the hairy head of the tiger girl, and slowly began to caress it.

In an instant, big teardrops oozed from the corners of Tiger Girl's eyes, quickly slid down her cheeks, hit the ground heavily, rolled in the dust, and immediately turned into pellets of mud.

"Why are you crying madam?"

Cui Zitao, however, smiled slightly: "Although you lied to Cui at the beginning, and even attracted foreign enemies to assassinate Zhu'er, the friendship between you and me these years cannot be faked. If you were not controlled by others and unable to control yourself, our husband and wife may not We can't grow old together."

"What's more, if there is no such marriage, the husband will not be able to open the door to practice. I don't know when the Cui family in Yecheng will have the hope of revival! Even after this experience, the husband has already realized the origin of the practice of Cui's three veins. For this harvest, the Cui family in Yecheng should thank you deeply!"

Hearing this, the tiger girl's tears stopped, her eyes showed doubts, and she looked at her husband in a daze.

Cui Zitao smiled again, immediately withdrew his palm, and slowly unfolded a section of the scroll in his hand: "Madam, look, this painting is missing a three-foot-long chi tiger fish, and it looks a bit empty."

Hearing these words, Tiger Girl became more suspicious, and unavoidably became more vigilant.

"Madam doesn't know that this painting itself is not a rare treasure. It is all thanks to the painter's skill in writing and the Cui family's blood as a guide, so that he can communicate with a secret realm in the Field of Promise."

"Back when the ancestors of the Cui family traveled in the wild, they entered it by accident and made a covenant with a group of chi tiger and fish spirits living in the secret realm. Only then were they able to open up three smooth paths of practice for future generations, which have been passed down from generation to generation. Connected by blood, inseparable."

"Speaking of disobedience and rebellion, the Cui family's children can disrespect their dead ancestors, but they have to pay homage to these living ancestors in the painting!"

Cui Zitao paused, shook his head and sighed: "Originally, this matter was not considered a secret, but because it involves the field of infinity, it is inevitable that the children in the family are too ambitious, or have a barrier of knowledge and vision, which affects the practice of the third and even fourth realms. Generally, the elders in the family will only tell about it in detail when their cultivation level has reached, so it has always been passed on by word of mouth, and even the family tree is vague."

"I'm ashamed to say that the Cui family in Yecheng suffered a terrible disaster a few generations ago. All the clan members who were qualified to travel into the wild were lost, so that it was passed down to my father and my husband. Only the exercises of the first two realms are complete. We can only hope that an unworldly hero will emerge from the clan, and then enter the field of infinity to complete the lost inheritance."

Speaking of this, Cui Zitao raised his head and greeted Qi Jingzhi with a smile: "It makes Qi Jishi laugh, I am afraid that even Zhenmo Yuan would not have thought that the Cui family of Yecheng would fall to this point, and the qualifications of the children in the clan are mediocre. , I even lost my own inheritance!"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head when he heard the words: "Ups and downs are common sense, there is nothing to laugh at. Besides, as long as the Cui family's blood in Yecheng is not cut off for a day, and at the same time, they can still use the "Chi Tiger Fish Picture" in exchange for Hu Sha, the family's The foundation is still solid, and the inheritance cannot be considered lost, and sooner or later there will be a day of recovery."

In fact, compared to the origin of Cui's practice, what the young man cares more about is the "field of infinity" and "obstacles of knowledge and vision".

This is the first time Qi Jingzhi has heard of the so-called "Wildness of Infinity". Hearing Cui Zitao's voice, it seems that knowing too much is not a good thing when the realm is not enough. up.

The first time was on the Cao Jiang painting boat. Deng Fuqing casually mentioned it before explaining the practice of the second realm, thinking that there is not much difference between the realm of strong life and the realm of induction, and Jiao Yulang knew in advance that it would not be a big problem.

The second time was in the garden of the Jiao’s Villa. When Mu Yingxian mentioned the accompanying artifacts, she said that in such cases, she had to wait until the third stage to ascend the altar and attract the artifact spirits to complete the spiritual artifacts. However, he refused to elaborate on what is the Lingtai and how to attract it, the reason is to prevent Qi Jingzhi from being obstructed.

One is to ascend to the altar and attract the weapon spirit, and the other is to travel into the wild and make a covenant with the spirit. The methods and difficulties may be different, but the inner essence seems to be not far away.

Under the confirmation of the two, Qi Jingzhi knew that the field of Wuji should be similar to the Lingtai, and it also involved the follow-up path of practice, so he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and did not ask rashly.

As for why Cui Zitao suddenly knew such details, it is naturally inseparable from the chi tiger fish spirit that came from the secret realm of the infinite wild.

He raised such a living ancestor with a great background on his body. Although the current state is not very advanced, many things can't be accomplished even if he doesn't want to know.

Cui's Patriarch and the old servant took a risky fight in desperation, not only succeeded by luck, but they actually hit the right spot.

"Is the foundation still solid?"

Cui Zitao murmured and repeated, and suddenly smiled wryly: "It may have been like this in the past, but it may not be so after tonight!"

"Although there must be more than five Chihu fish spirits in the secret realm, there are not too many of them, and they are shared by the three Cui clans. Now that the Yecheng Humai caught one without authorization, it is already breaking the rules, and it is even more likely to offend Chi. The Tiger Fish Spirit Clan."

He paused for a moment, then looked down at Tiger Girl again: "Cui is thinking about it, he has to make up for it!"

Qi Jingzhi then glanced at the colorful tiger who was still being restrained by Ban Nu, and then moved his gaze to the scroll in Cui Zitao's hand, suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.

Not long ago, the old servant of the Cui family knew that there was nothing he could do to Qi Jingzhi, so he could only hold Zhu'er and the ghost boy while demonstrating the methods of changing evil spirits and fishing, so as to arrest Qi Jingzhi, the town demon courtyard. Fan Yan showed Cui's magnanimity in exchange for him standing by and watching.

Now Cui Zitao is talking about the origin of Cui's cultivation in front of the young man, and even admits that his family's inheritance is lacking. Even though these are not too big secrets, they will be harmful if they are heard too much.

"Hey, the Cui family's style of weighing decisions and showing sincerity is really in the same line. He has paved the way for so much, I'm afraid he still intends to focus on his wife."

"Before Mr. Cui died, he said that the tiger girl could no longer be Cui's wife and could be dealt with by me. The words are still in my ears now, but I'm afraid she can't do anything."

Sure enough, Cui Zitao put his palm on the tiger girl's forehead again, and asked in a very gentle tone: "Madam, are you willing to change your foundation, become a water attribute, and become a woman in the secret realm for the sake of Cui and your husband?" A chihu fish spirit?"

Hearing this, Tiger Girl's eyes widened suddenly, and her hair stood on end. The sudden burst of struggle was so powerful that half of Ban Nu's fat body was lifted up.

Bannu let out a roar, and immediately exerted all his strength, pounced and smashed, and pressed the terrified female tiger back to the ground. From the back of the opponent's neck to the back of the shoulder, there were several extremely long and deep bloodstains.

Cui Zitao withdrew his hands to avoid his wife's bite, but his expression became more gentle: "It's better than being eaten by this ferocious beast of Qi Jishi, but the undead are still under the control of the old master, like ghosts who can never live forever." Liberation is stronger, right? Or... being swallowed by this tiger skin on your body, both body and spirit?"

Hearing this, Tiger Girl's struggles immediately weakened by most, and a complex expression of doubt and fear appeared on her face.

"Others may not be able to see it, but now, as the host and food of the Chihu Yuling, I can still empathize with you. If you continue to wear this tiger skin, one day you will become one with it, not only The flesh and blood all over the body become blood food, even the soul and spirituality cannot be preserved."

"What's more, not everyone can enjoy the opportunity to enter the secret realm as the Chihu Yuling! If you don't have a strong tiger spirit in your body, and you happen to be the enemy and wealth of the tiger spirit in the water genus, even if you want to do favoritism as a husband Nothing can be done."

"As long as you survive the level of the blue sea flooding and the swarm of fish devouring the spirit, Madam will be reborn, and from now on, you can enjoy the worship of the Cui clan!"

Speaking of this, Cui Zitao's expression suddenly became solemn, as if he was pious: "If you want to, as a husband, no matter what, I will ask for the consent of Qian Qi, so that you will not be devoured by strange beasts!"

"If you are willing, I will immediately swear to the Chihu Yuling on my body as a husband!"

"After Cui Zitao dies in the future, his spirituality will never enter the cycle of reincarnation. He will definitely turn into a tiger fish spirit and enter the secret realm to stay with you forever!"
