Li Fugui said, "This is the Hundred-forged blade I bought from the Arsenal of Arms in Qingyang city." It was not like he was an idiot. How could the deaths of his wife and son not affect him? He did not resent the witch at all. The blade was proof, proof that he was still a hot-blooded man.
However, he was still just a regular farmer at the end of the day. On one side was alcohol, and on the other was a blade. However, he never made up his mind to pick up the blade. Instead, he sank into drunkenness day by day. In the end, he discovered that he did not even have the strength to hold the blade anymore. However, he had always kept the blade. He did not exchange it for a good meal of alcohol.
Li Fugui thought about the past and sobbed. "I'm afraid to sell this blade, nor can I sell it. If I sell it, I'll have nothing left."
Li Qingshan's mind was in turmoil, but his expression did not change. He silently sheathed the blade. "If you trust me, then this blade is mine. I'll definitely give you an explanation."
Li Fugui turned around and waved his hand. Li Qingshan made his way out of the door. He sped along the way, tempted to go up to the witch and cut her down. He returned to the thatched hut and practised his fist techniques for a while before calming down.
"What kind of ability is it to control ghosts? How does it compare to my Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers?"
"The powerful ones can make a myriad of ghosts bow down to them, becoming the Ghost Emperor of an entire region and making friends with gods and demons. The weak ones can only bully regular people. Not only is there no benefit to practising it, but it'll even bring harm instead. Yin qi will invade their bodies, throwing their minds into chaos and making them eccentric. "
"That witch obviously belongs to the latter." Li Qingshan stopped worrying. He had been expecting this as well. Otherwise, the witch would not have taken so long to get her revenge after suffering a kick from him for nothing.
"But you can't underestimate her. You can't see ghosts, but there are many methods that can't be guarded against."
Li Qingshan thought of something. "Brother ox, I've heard that if you wipe an ox's tears on your eyes, you can see ghosts. Is that true?"
"Don't even think about it. This old ox has never cried before."
"Men don't cry easily, but they don't cry until they're heartbroken. Brother ox, don't you have times when you're heartbroken?"
Oxen turned his head away and ignored him.
Li Qingshan knew that brother ox truly had a stubborn temper, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Over the past few days, the two of them had communicated quite a lot. He could vaguely sense the black ox's thoughts. He did not want Li Qingshan to rely on him. He wanted to walk his own path, and he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.
At dusk, Oxen suddenly handed a small bottle to Li Qingshan. He did not explain anything and made his way out. He made his way up the Crouching Ox hill and gazed at the myriad mountains under the setting sun.
Li Qingshan opened the small bottle and took a look. There was a transparent, light-blue liquid inside. His heart skipped a beat, and he smiled resplendently. He thanked the black ox before dipping some wormwood into the liquid and carefully dripping it into his eyes.
In the beginning, he did not feel anything, but afterwards, he felt his eyes become hotter and hotter, so hot that they swelled. If it were not for the arduous cultivation he had undergone in the past few days, he almost could not help but cry out in pain.
In the smoky, tiled house, a group of foreigners who had come to seek divination watched a talisman fly through the air in shock before suddenly bursting into flames. Moreover, it was blue flames.
They could not see a pale-faced child holding up the talisman with great difficulty. They only lowered their heads and handed all the money to the witch in fear and trepidation before backing away.
The witch stowed the money away carefully. Suddenly, her face twisted. "What's going on? Why isn't Li Er dead yet? Are you not doing your job diligently? Do you want me to deal with you? "
Fear appeared on the child's blank, wooden face. He shook his head furiously.
The witch suddenly shook the bell in her hand. The child ran around the room in pain, kicking up chilly winds and dispersing the smoke.
After quite a while, the witch stopped ringing the bell Just Now. "Good, listen to granny. Granny won't mistreat you." She handed an embroidery needle that was as thin as a hair to the child. "Take it. Stab his eyes blind."
The child grasped the embroidery needle with difficulty and flew towards Crouching Ox hill with the night wind.
Under the night sky, Li Qingshan continued to meditate in the courtyard with his eyes closed.
The child walked over and raised the embroidery needle in his hand, slowly stabbing it towards Li Qingshan's eyes. In the eyes of regular people, there was only a needle flying through the air by itself, let alone the fact that the embroidery needle was extremely thin. Even during the day, it was difficult to see, let alone at night.
Li Qingshan sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes. He ignored the embroidery needle that was only inches away from him and stared at the child's pitch-black eyes like a sharp sword. "What do you want to do?" His eyes shone brightly like two balls of fire were burning in them.
In the evening, just as Li Qingshan was in unbearable pain, the indistinct aura in his body suddenly began to move, swimming through his eyes. The pain immediately lessened by quite a lot.
When the scorching pain vanished, a cool sensation flowed through his eyes, making him feel extremely comfortable. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He opened his eyes and just happened to see the little ghost from last night standing in front of him with the embroidery needle.
He was surprised inside and felt some lingering fear. Originally, he thought the witch only had a few tricks up her sleeve, so she definitely would not face him head-on. It was not like the little ghost's yin qi could harm him, so he had underestimated her. However, if it were not for the fact that he could suddenly see ghosts, it was likely that he would have been ambushed and had his eyes destroyed. As a result, he would have been better off killing her earlier.
The child was even more surprised. Under Li Qingshan's furious glare, he trembled all over, and the embroidery needle in his hand fell to the ground. He drifted far away.
Li Qingshan studied the little ghost closely and discovered that he was only around six or seven years old. He was extremely handsome, and if it were not for the fact that his face was ghastly pale, he really did seem like a match made in heaven. He wore silk robes, which must have been his attire when he was still alive. He did not seem like a little ghost that had been driven away, but the young master of a large clan.
When the child saw that Li Qingshan could actually see him, he did not dare to move forward. However, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task and would be punished by the witch, so he did not dare to leave.
Li Qingshan no longer had any fear in his heart. Things that could not be seen were the scariest. Now that he could see it clearly, he discovered that the little ghost was even more afraid than he was. He opened his mouth and asked, "What is your name? Where are you from?"
But no matter how he asked, the child did not answer. Li Qingshan's heart moved, "You can't speak?"
The child hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Li Qingshan thought that the child was only being used by the witch, and that it had unfortunately died at such a young age. Perhaps it was also killed by the witch, so he felt a little pity for the child and his attitude became gentler.
"You were so close to me yesterday, why are you hiding now? Come closer, I have something to ask you. "
The child saw that his expression had become less frightening, and like a timid little beast, he walked a few steps closer.
Li Qingshan said, "Since you don't want to speak, then just nod or shake your head to answer. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The child nodded.
