Chapter 66: Back

Who is he? Isn’t he the mysterious head of the department, Jiang Yi?

I was curious about this person from the beginning. After all, my master also worked under him, and he was also the legendary immortal. I had only heard of him, but never seen him, so how could I not be curious?

When his familiar voice appeared in my ears, I should have looked up and felt some excitement at solving the mystery. But in fact, I didn’t react at all. I was immersed in the sadness of losing a brother, and I had difficulty reacting to anything.

But don’t sleep, or don’t sleep! I can be fearless at this moment, because dying in this way would be a way to end everything! I’m afraid of falling asleep while alive. If that’s the case, what about my heart’s Kunlun? I would be very sorry! If that’s the case, maybe many people can use time to get out of their grief, but because I am a “living dead,” I will be in grief for a long time!

So, I tried to open my eyes wide, and at that moment, I felt a shadow cover my body. It turned out that Jiang Yi had squatted down, and a face appeared in front of my eyes, a face that was ordinary but full of majesty!

A square face, with black hair neatly combed back, a face where everything is ordinary except for the two strange white eyebrows that are so conspicuous. Of course, he is very tall, and you can tell even when he is crouching.

Is this Jiang Yi? Or is he the character I have seen in martial arts novels 鈥� the White Eyebrow Eagle King?

I laughed at the absurdity of my thoughts, but Jiang Yi didn’t say anything. He just stuffed a pill into my mouth without saying a word, then flipped open a box and took out a handful of golden needles…

“The formula for nourishing the soul has almost been lost. I don’t have it! I originally had some pills for nourishing the soul, but now there is only one left. You swallow it first, and it will slowly nourish your soul, so that your spiritual power will not be depleted with sleep… These years, I have been studying the medical pulse, and now I use the method of acupuncture to stimulate your spirit, but at the same time, it also locks in your spiritual power so that it does not dissipate…” Jiang Yi was jabbing needles into my body while talking endlessly.

The pill he put in my mouth immediately split open when it touched my saliva, and a stream of clear liquid flowed into my throat, my stomach… and then spread out, transforming into a cool energy that soothed my mind and tired body!

Jiang Yi’s actions were truly extraordinary, but when he said that the recipe for nourishing the spirit had been lost, it suddenly reminded me of something. At the ghost market, didn’t Yuan Yi’s grandfather give a recipe?

This made me feel a strange feeling, as if fate was intertwined in this way!

As Jiang Yi’s golden needles fell one by one, my spirit slowly began to improve. I raised my hand and handed the watch to Jiang Yi, saying, “This is evidence, and it is also a hero, my brother’s life!”

Jiang Yi took the watch, his face expressionless, but a look of admiration and sadness flashed in his eyes. I don’t blame him. At their level of cultivation, they see life and death too clearly. It’s really rare to have such emotions.

For example, my master also only felt a little pity and commented that the soul would be sublimated.

Perhaps the realm is different, and the vision is different!

He didn’t rush to look at the contents of the watch, and didn’t even ask any questions. He just waved his hand, and someone came over and took the child away from me. I looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Save him.”

Jiang Yi said, “Do my best.” In the meantime, his golden needles continued to pierce my body without stopping.

At this time, a sudden brake was heard again, followed by the sound of footsteps running towards me. The first thing I saw was Huigen, followed by Qiangzi, Yuanyi, and the others. They had come, a group of brothers who had shared life and death together.

They surrounded me, silent and motionless. Xiaobei suddenly looked up at the sky, as if sighing, and then asked in a calm voice, “Where’s Huige? Did he leave?”

The voice finally could not maintain its calmness. In the end, it was already a sigh. I clenched my fist and said after a long pause, “Hmm…”

Xiao Bei’s posture did not change, looking at the sky without even blinking his eyes. Then I heard his breathing become rapid, and I knew he was crying.

Then, Qiangzi suddenly squatted on the ground, holding his head, and started to sob. Yuanyi, Gao Ning, Huigen, and everyone else started to cry. Then I heard someone walking over with a limp. It was Zhao Hong, who had come despite his serious injuries.

He saw several men gathered together, choking and crying. He asked loudly, “What are you crying about?”

“Lao Hui… Lao Hui has gone…” Yuan Yi’s brother answered Zhao Hong.

“What?!” Zhao Hong almost fell, was helped up, and then muttered, “Why? What’s wrong? Didn’t we go through life and death together? Why did he leave?”

At the end, Zhao Hong also cried, and his voice became shaky.

The summer night was still hot and stuffy, but at this moment, a cool breeze blew silently through the seven men who were crying. But could it blow away the sadness?

“Go, go find Lao Hui. A hero deserves a proper burial. Don’t let Lao Hui’s efforts go to waste. The situation is more serious than I thought!” Suddenly, a voice interrupted the sad atmosphere. It was Jiang Yi.

When my brothers surrounded me just now, Jiang Yi stepped aside and silently looked at the important watch. After reading it, he said something to us!

“Let’s go!” Xiaobei was the first to dry his tears, put his hand in his pocket, and I saw his hand shaking. At this time, I thought he needed to fight and vent.

Everyone’s attitude was the same. After wiping away the tears, they quietly stood behind Xiaobei. Xiaobei looked at me and said, “Chengyi, you’re not going, are you?”

“I’m going,” I replied simply!

Xiao Bei nodded, and Yuan Yi, without saying a word, came over and picked me up, saying, “Then let’s go. I’ll carry you on my back to save some time.”

I didn’t argue about anything, and let Yuan Yi carry me. At this time, Jiang Yi was explaining to a staff member next to him how to eliminate the impact. After a minute, dozens of heavily armed “police” appeared. Of course, these people were not “police,” they were just disguised as such! They should be members of the secret service.

“Let’s go!” Jiang Yi said calmly, and then walked in front of everyone. When he passed by me, he said, “I feel uneasy. An old friend read my fortune and the result made me rush here. I can also help you in time. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease?”

“Old Hui can’t be saved.” I couldn’t tell what kind of mood I was in. Was I just blowing up at Jiang?

“His soul has been saved!” Jiang walked ahead without looking back.

Huh, does he share the same view as my master? Or, is it that the wise man has no meaning, and that losing certain emotions makes life boring? I didn’t mean to slander my master. This is indeed my own ‘heart’, and the person who said that I wouldn’t let go in the deserted village is the real me.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet night. Quiet, not at all noisy. Jiang Yi walked ahead, and first entered the room I had just escaped from. The room was quiet and terrifying! It was not at all like the place where such a fierce battle had taken place just ten minutes ago.

The seven men were still tied up on the second floor, and they were now making a sound like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, as if they had been extremely frightened. Jiang Yi frowned and whispered to the person next to him, “Go deal with it!” Then he walked into the basement behind the clock.

Xiaobei followed closely behind, and Yuanyi’s brother entered with me on his back. I felt better at this point, and I said to Yuanyi’s brother, “Put me down, I want to fight!”

Yuan Yi wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything, and just let me down. But as soon as I was let down, I couldn’t help but wonder, is this… the basement I just escaped from?
