Please follow the script of cultivating immortals

Chapter 73

After they figured out why Jiang Li became abnormal, they began to discuss what to do.

The boss said.

"The military advisor is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to tell us about this matter."

"Yeah. In a family that forces her to practice immortality regardless of her wishes, she probably won't open up to anyone."

The third head of the family is the person who knows Jiang Li best and he also sees this.

In such an environment, Jiang Li learned how to conceal his true thoughts and pretend to talk to others.Even if the environment has changed, this has not changed much.

The most intuitive thing is that the third master still doesn't know what Jiang Li's name is, he just calls him Military Advisor.Although in the village they only use titles such as head or military advisor, the three heads all know each other's names.

The third master had many heart-to-heart talks with the military advisor, but they both felt that the military advisor was hiding something.If it weren't for those strange abilities, from divine fire to storage space, the third master might even think that the military advisor is just an ordinary person and not a cultivator at all.

The boss sighed.

"But killing is not a trivial matter. If the military advisor doesn't let it out, she may be useless in this life."

"I'll interrupt first, and then you can call me a psychopath."

The second boss suddenly spoke.

"If the military advisor is dead and remains as reliable as she is now, then can we..."

Let it go.

The second boss didn't say it directly, he wanted these two people to understand the spirit.

The eldest master and the third master looked at each other.

The temptation of this thing is too great.

For a reliable Jiang Li, life in the village shouldn't be too pleasant!

But temptation is meant to be resisted.The boss still resisted.

"No, no, it just seems reliable now. There may still be other problems after the military advisor. No, no. It must be solved, no."

"But, that's a reliable strategist!"

The second master didn't say anything more, this sentence was already attractive enough.

The third boss also woke up and refused the temptation of the second boss.

"We can't control others like this, it's too insidious. Moreover, the military counselor originally longed for freedom, and she is doing well the way she is now."

"When you say the current situation, do you mean it's reliable or..."

"Unreliable! Do whatever you want!"

The third boss interrupted the second boss and said this loudly.The second master realized what was going on and stopped talking about it.

The third master looked at the first master again, and the two of them were still thinking about this possibility.

After shaking their heads at the same time, the eldest master and the third master finally got this idea out of their minds for the time being.

The Third Master appeared and said quickly before that thought came back.

"Anyway, I've been watching her these past few days, and I'll try to find a way to talk to her about it if I get the chance."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

The boss also said so, and the matter was settled.

Jiang Li on the other side was already lying on the bed.She was very sleepy and drunk now, but she had been tossing and turning in bed for a long time.

She felt like she couldn't sleep.

It’s not that I have complete insomnia, but I always wake up because I’m upset before falling asleep, and then I feel that the position I’m lying on is uncomfortable.

She was really sleepy. Her eyes were always closed and she couldn't open them, but she just couldn't fall asleep.

Same thing last night.Although he was already so drunk, Jiang Li woke up before noon and tossed and turned in bed.

She didn't wake up at midnight, she just thought that if she did something, she might be able to fall asleep when she got back.

Only that didn't happen.

Jiang Li could almost guess why he couldn't sleep, it was just the three people he killed.

Staying awake just because of three lives is really not something a bandit would do.The last thing she wanted right now was not to look like a bandit.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li felt a little annoyed, so he pinched his neck with his hands.Press on the aorta and vagus nerve and she'll pass out quickly.This is a little trick she learned in the past.

After fainting, his hands naturally lost strength, and Jiang Li fell asleep.

This sleep was not peaceful, Jiang Li's dream never stopped.There are always those eyes looking at me in my dreams, and I can't escape them no matter what.

When he woke up, Jiang Li found that he was covered in cold sweat again and the quilt was a little wet.

What then hit Jiang Li was hunger and thirst.The throat felt like earth that had been exposed to the sun for three days. Even swallowing twice did not relieve the dryness at all.

There was a kettle and some pastries in the room. Jiang Li immediately took a drink of water before he calmed down and dared to eat those pastries.

After his hunger and thirst were relieved, Jiang Li looked at the gold and silver treasures on his table and then remembered that he had not given these things to the master.

It was already dark outside, and Jiang Li felt like he slept until dusk.It's a little late to give the money to the boss now, the city gate has been closed.But I still have to go and make sure I can buy food immediately tomorrow morning.

Jiang Li took a few more pastries and ate them. He walked out of the room and saw the rising sun.

The cake in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Have you slept with yourself all day?Hangovers are really bad.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Li hurriedly ran to Huwei Hall, thinking about waiting there for someone to come, so that he could go down the mountain to buy something immediately.

After running out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Li felt like he saw something out of the corner of his eye.Turning her head, she saw the Third Master sitting next to the courtyard door.

Jiang Li squatted down and took off the third master's legs.

"What are you doing?"

The voice above told Jiang Li that the Third Master was awake.

So, she put the legs on again.

"I originally planned to take off your legs and hide them. Then when we both walk together, you can fall down."

"...Why did you decide to remove my legs so I can't find out?"

"Because you fell asleep."

"I am a thief, and I am most afraid of danger. Not to mention you tearing my legs apart, even a gust of wind can wake me up."

The Third Master said quite proudly, and felt that Jiang Li was pretending to be uncomfortable, so he adjusted his position.

Jiang Li remembered that he felt tortured when he slept last night, and asked the third master again.

"Then what if you want to have a good sleep?"

"Lock the room. All the ways I can think of to break through the room are blocked. Any door lock may be opened, and any air hole may be blown in. So in theory, an airtight seal is needed. It’s a ventilated, steel-forged box so I can sleep peacefully inside.”

"...The coffin that seals the zombies is not so strong." "So. After being a thief for a few years, I know that I will never be able to sleep well in this life."

The third master said sadly.People in the arena have to give up some things in order to survive in the arena.

Jiang Li also changed the topic.

"By the way, is the boss awake? I have to give him the money. He said yesterday that we have run out of rice today, so we have to buy it quickly."

"...It's a shame you can still remember it. Why do you think I was waiting for you at the door?"

Jiang Li looked at the Third Master. He seemed to have been sitting here and sleeping all night.This location is where Jiang Li can definitely see it when he comes out, so he can only wait for himself.In other words, wait for your own money.

After all, Qian was in Jiang Li's room, and these people wouldn't go in, not even into the yard.

"Have you been waiting all night? The same goes for the boss. I will go directly to him when I wake up. How could I let my brothers go hungry?"

"...One night? I was waiting here two days ago."

The Third Master said with resentment, and Jiang Li didn't react for a moment.

"Two days? I've only...two days?"

"Yes, you slept for two days. I thought several times about going in to see if you were still alive, but I still ran away. But the boss said he could hear your heartbeat, so he told me to wait."

Jiang Li looked away from the Third Master with some embarrassment.She now understood why she was hungry and thirsty after waking up, and had not eaten or drank for two days.

"Then...how did the copycat brothers eat in the past two days?"

“We’ve almost eaten all the wild vegetables on the mountain.”

"...Then let's go down the mountain."

"Wait a minute, go to the kitchen first."

The Third Master suddenly said this, and Jiang Li didn't quite understand it.But no matter how she asked, the Third Master didn't explain until they got to the kitchen.

The third master opened a plate and underneath was a bowl of wild vegetables.

"The brother at the copycat said he wants you to try this no matter what."

"……why?"

"You try it."

After taking a bite, Jiang Li understood the reason.

It's also very simple. They have suffered so much that they want the military advisor who has been sleeping to taste it no matter what.

"Eat clean. The boss's order."

Jiang Li had no choice but to sit down and eat slowly.

She once heard that wild vegetables are delicious, but now when she eats them, she only feels extremely bitter.This kind of pain will make people slow down involuntarily, but when they really slow down, they will realize that this only prolongs their painful feeling.

So Jiang Li closed his eyes again and ate with big mouthfuls, eating it all in a few gulps.

"...Let's go."

Jiang Li said in a hoarse voice. The Third Master smiled and handed Jiang Li a glass of water from the side.

After drinking the water, Jiang Li felt better.

Then, she asked the third master.

"In times of famine, this is what you eat?"

"During the famine, this thing can be sold for a tael of gold. First, the animals on the mountains are caught. People always think that those things can resist hunger, and it is true, but it is very difficult to catch them, especially when you are hungry and have no strength. .At this time, they can only eat various wild vegetables. First, those that are edible directly, then those that are slightly poisonous, and then all the green leaves. After eating the leaves, they eat the bark, and the boiled water can always Swallow it. Then, just chew the bark directly. After all these things are eaten, there are only three choices left. Starve to death, eat loess, or eat humans."

The Third Master incidentally told Jiang Li these things, which he had seen with his own eyes back then.

Jiang Li looked at the bowl of wild vegetables again.Living in a peaceful era, she really couldn't imagine that anyone would treat this thing as a treasure.There were mentions of famine in books, but none of them were as profound as the bowl of wild vegetables Jiang Li ate.

"...If I say there is a world where no one will starve to death, they may not have enough to eat, but everyone will have food to eat. Do you believe it?"

Jiang Li suddenly asked the third master this question. The third master was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"I believe it. You don't even need to eat food for cultivating immortals. How can you starve to death?"

"……Too."

"But this is not the world of immortals, it's the mortal world. You may have the opportunity to see people starving to death in the future. There may be a war this year, and it won't be small."

The Third Master looked outside, and Jiang Li also looked over.

She felt like there was a big problem with the world.

"Let's go. It's getting light. I'll call a few brothers and we can go down the mountain."

The Third Master said this and walked outside, with Jiang Li following behind.

Once out of the kitchen, they dispersed.The third master went to call his brothers, while Jiang Li was waiting for the big guys at the door.

Two brothers on duty outside were grabbing a lizard, and one brother bit it in one bite.They were so happy to see Jiang Li.

"Commander, are you awake? You can eat well today."

The brother who ate the lizard was not so happy.

Soon, everyone gathered together, changed their clothes, and went down the mountain.

Qingming Festival is coming soon, and Sifang City begins to sell a lot of candles and ingots to worship ancestors.The temple was also relatively prosperous. When Jiang Li passed by, he stopped and took a look.

"what happened?"

The Third Master asked Jiang Li, who was still looking at the temple.

"The river bandit told me that two of his three sworn brothers died on our mountain. Now the river bandit is also dead, and only the Yide monk in this temple is left."

"Are you worried that he will seek revenge on you?"

"That's for sure. It doesn't make sense for me to kill all his brothers and he can still ignore them."

Jiang Li didn't say "we", he said "I".

The Third Master noticed this and said to Jiang Li.

"Actually, when those three river bandits died, no one would have thought that it was you who did it. Even if he took revenge, the target of his revenge would be the entire village. The only impact of killing the river bandits may be that the price of crossing the river will increase in the future. After all, The only one left is the ferry.”

After saying this, the third master pushed Jiang Li's back and asked her to move forward.Jiang Li still looked back.

After coming down the mountain, they did not go directly to purchase food, but went directly to the restaurant.The restaurant had just opened its doors at this time, and there was a big business.

The five people, who were almost going crazy with hunger, ordered a full twenty plates of food. They ate every dish so cleanly, and in the end they even used steamed buns to mop up the remaining soup.

After eating and drinking, they took another break to burn incense before finally making sure that no chicken drumsticks would spurt out of their mouths while walking.

When the waiter looked at the plate, he saw it was clean.Not to mention clean, it reflects light and the waiter can clearly count the beards on his face.

He looked outside.

Famine again?
