Chapter 16 A Carefree Journey Beyond the Heavens, Paper Figures Carrying a Sedan Chair
A gentle breeze from outer space, free and unrestrained.
This martial art does not rely on brute force or internal energy, but rather on the natural energy of heaven and earth.
[Controlling the air with one's body, manipulating the wind with one's mind, moving and still as if a celestial being were in flight.]
[Current Martial Arts Level: Heavenly Freedom Technique (Before Entering the First Level)]
……
Li Qingchen rubbed his eyes.
It seemed a little unbelievable that the lightness skill he had always longed for had been obtained in such a way.
"With this lightness skill as a backup, even if I can't defeat the demons, I can still escape in time."
Under Sikong Yitian's direct instruction, Li Qingchen silently recited the Heavenly Freedom Technique, his steps light and his movements unpredictable.
Whether in motion or stillness, one is at ease; with every leap and bound, one is carefree!
"Excellent technique!"
Soon, he had reached the entry level of the Heavenly Freedom Technique.
Li Qingchen was satisfied but not content, as the saying goes, "What you can't have always seems more alluring." Now that he had mastered lightness skills, he set his sights on self-defense and body-tempering techniques.
"It will happen, everything will happen."
Li Qingchen calmed her joyful mood, bid farewell to Sikong Yitian, and walked out of the tomb.
We arrived at the intersection.
The panel once again presents three options: South, North, and West.
[Treasures that have been taken will not trigger opportunities again.]
In the south, a gibbon presents a treasure; in the west, a loud chant of Buddhist hymns resounds
The only place I didn't go to was naturally the North.
[Swordsman, this time, with your fox fur disguise and superior agility, you confidently embarked on your journey to the north.]
There were more graves in the north than you expected. Your eyes lit up, and you couldn't help but fantasize about the reward you would receive...
"No, I didn't. My eyes were cold, and every step I took was like walking on thin ice."
Li Qingchen shamelessly corrected him.
As you walk, you suddenly smell a strong stench of blood ahead. Brave swordsman, will you find a place to hide and observe the situation? Or will you choose to forge ahead and continue northward?
"Tsk, don't try to provoke me with 'bravery' now. I'm the kind of person who listens to advice."
—On the issue of double standards.
You chose to observe from the shadows, and after waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, nothing happened.
You notice the paint on your fox fur is gradually fading, which means your time is running out.
Once your disguise is gone, you will be hunted by an army of undead. Even if you can escape using your agility, it will still be a troublesome situation.
You waited in vain for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and you felt a pang of regret for your cowardice.
[You've just stood up when you suddenly hear the sound of a suona horn. Cautious swordsman, will you choose to stay where you are and continue observing, or go to investigate?]
"In a mass grave, with the deafening suona horns, it would be strange if there weren't ghosts."
Li Qingchen shook his head, thinking to himself that those who chose "find out the truth" were lucky.
The suona horns wailed like weeping, the gongs and drums beat wildly, and a misty fog rolled in from the mass grave.
[Amidst a vast expanse of white, you see a bright red wedding sedan chair.]
The sedan chair was crimson, embroidered with crooked "double happiness" characters. You noticed a strong smell of blood emanating from inside.
[Below, carrying the sedan chair, were a group of paper figures.]
Their faces were deathly pale, with large patches of blush applied stiffly and eerily; their red lips stretched to their ears, and their eyes were hollow.
[It's obvious this is a ghost marriage procession, and the one sitting in the sedan chair must be a bloodthirsty ghost bride.]
You can't help but wonder, what kind of ghost will it be marrying?
Suppress your curiosity and quietly wait for the wedding procession to leave.
[Swordsman, your caution saved you from disaster. If you had chosen to 'investigate further,' you might have been abducted by the ghost bride inside the sedan chair.]
"Tsk, so it turns out I'm the ghost groom. I can't handle this. I'm outta here."
Li Qingchen patted his chest, thinking to himself that he still had to go to Caijia Village to fight the fox demon tomorrow, so he had to make the most of this life and make a fortune.
Let's just play it safe.
The wedding procession has left, the fog has lifted, and you feel confident again.
[Swordsman, continue walking along the desolate path.]
You are observant and attentive, but your caution has slowed you down considerably. The paint on your fox fur is also fading.
You tell yourself you can't procrastinate any longer. You decide not to look for the "master craftsman" yet, and turn your gaze to rows of graves.
[Hint: The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
You encounter a dying tomb raider by the roadside. He extends his withered hand to you and whispers weakly:
"Let me drink your blood, and I'll share half of the treasures in the tomb with you."
Kind-hearted swordsman, would you be willing to use your own blood to save this precious life?
[Okay, so you, who are always eager to save lives, have actually chosen to stand by and do nothing this time.]
"I already said I had to live a more cautious life."
Li Qingchen shrugged.
Opportunities and dangers coexist.
Blindly attempting to save someone could put yourself in danger.
as predicted--
The tomb raider became enraged after you rejected him.
He intended to ambush you when you got close, but you didn't give him the chance.
[A tomb raider raises his shovel and strikes at you. Do you choose to run away or fight back?]
"Just kidding, even without a sword, I'm not afraid of you." Li Qingchen decisively chose to retaliate.
You chose to fight back, unleashing the "Heavenly Freedom Technique," your movements as elusive as a ghost. The tomb raiders were completely outmaneuvered, unable to even get close to you.
[You silently recite the "Primordial Heavenly Secrets Technique," your true energy flowing continuously. With a single punch, you smash a large hole in the tomb raider's chest.]
[Hint: You have killed a tomb raider!]
"It's a pity I don't know any martial arts techniques, otherwise I might have been able to gain some experience points."
Li Qingchen jotted it down in his notebook: lacking self-defense techniques, lacking boxing skills...
[Swordsman, you've killed the tomb raider, and now everything he owns is yours. Do you want to pick up his shovel and search him?]
[Hint: You have obtained the 'Digging Hole and Burying People Shovel'!]
[A shovel used for digging pits and burying people; it can be used to dig pits and graves, but it can also be used to bury people and sever their souls.]
The more holes you dig, the harder the shovel becomes; the more people you bury, the sharper the shovel becomes.
[It was with this powerful tool that tomb raiders fought off zombies, drove away corpse beetles, traveled far and wide, amassed wealth, and overcame countless difficulties.]
However, as the saying goes, "If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
Unfortunately, this time, the tomb raiders were in the area when they accidentally unearthed a tough spot, losing most of their lives in the process, and ultimately dying at your hands.
"Grave raiding is risky, and opening boxes requires caution," Li Qingchen sighed.
Next, Li Qingchen searched the tomb raiders.
It has to be said that anyone who dares to do this kind of work is quite something.
Li Qingchen found a bunch of fancy items.
Including but not limited to: black donkey hooves, tomb raiding talismans, fire trinkets, sachets, cinnabar talismans, and dragon-seeking rulers...
These are all valuable treasures for tomb raiders.
"Looking at it this way, I realize I'm still missing a storage bag."
Li Qingchen scratched his head, thinking to himself that he really lacked a lot.
Hmm, I'll write this down in my notebook. I have to get one someday.
After searching behind him, Li Qingchen glanced at the tomb raider's corpse.
"The more people buried, the stronger the shovel?"
next moment.
Li Qingchen started digging a hole without stopping, thinking to himself as he dug, "Brother, you're like a pig, every part of you is a treasure."
