Chapter 40: Qiqimen

The driver was lost in wild thoughts amid this contradictory and fearful mood. Boom! Suddenly, a ball of fire burst out from the forest in front for no reason. What's going on? Did that brother have an accident? Before he could think further, the fire suddenly went out again.

Huh? Weird! Involuntarily, he looked around. Except for the croaking of frogs in the fields, there was nothing else.

While he was in a daze, suddenly, there were two "pops", which stimulated his sensitive nerves and made him turn his head immediately. Unexpectedly, his movement was too big and he hit his head on the car. Before he could cry out in pain, he saw: It was Luo Li knocking on the window. Immediately, he relaxed.

Opening the car door, he complained: "Oh brother, you almost scared the piss out of me."

Luo Li smiled: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, right? Sorry. Didn't scare you too much, right?"

The driver rubbed his head: "Fortunately, I wasn't scared to death. What happened in front? There seemed to be firelight, but it suddenly went out."

"Driver, there's no firelight. I didn't see it. You must have seen wrong." Luo Li handed him a stack of hundred-yuan bills.

The driver took the money and said: "Yes, I'm blind. I didn't see anything. Anyway, based on my sixth sense as a man, I'm sure you're not a bad person."

"Well, your feeling is very accurate."

The driver turned around and drove towards the city. Luo Li told him to go to Mangshan Island People's Hospital.

Luo Li tightly held a carved Chinese character "seven" made of black iron. He was too familiar with the patterns on it. They were the unique patterns in "Ge's Legacy Record", two intertwined selaginella leaves. Selaginella is also called the resurrection plant. As the name suggests, it is a curly plant and belongs to ferns. The appearance of ferns can be traced back to five hundred million years ago. The words "resurrection" mean it has special effects.

The strange voice of the old wizard still seemed to be in his ears: "Kid, you have some skills. What did you do to my apprentice that made him lose his soul? Your actions are very much like those of the people from the Qiqimen in Great Qin. I tell you, I have a connection with your leader. I have done things for him. We are enemies, not friends. I know I can't beat you but I still follow you. Just to tell you that you must save my apprentice immediately. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain when you go back."

"You... kid, do you think I'm lying to you? Look, what's this? This plaque was given to me by your leader ten years ago. He told me that when I come to Great Qin, I can use this thing to ask him to do one thing for me. Time is running out. Do you know that Xiao Lin is also useful? Before the time is right, I didn't tell him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to this point. You mustn't harm him and you must protect him!"

"Damn kid, are you trying to rebel? How dare you not listen to me. This token is definitely not fake!" The old man's tone was strange and had a foreign accent.

"You!"

"Woo! Puff..."

"You... you will be punished! Definitely..."

Before he died, his body turned black and he reached for his chest. Luo Li saw several ferocious ghost eyes emerging from his body. Resolutely, he detonated the talisman that he had planted in advance.

With a "boom", the Daoist magical energy filled the air and real fire burst out, enveloping the yin spirits and the old man's body and burning them all to death.

Luo Li put the plaque into his cloth bag. After thinking for a while, he took it out again. He found a rope and tied it up, hanging it close to his body.

"We're here."

Luo Li got out of the car and thanked him. The driver said: "Brother, although taking you is quite profitable. But it's best if I don't meet you again. You really have never been to a 'good place'." Then he took out the talisman in his chest pocket and asked: "Do I still need to keep this?"
