Day and night tour

Chapter 81: Living Towards Death (First Order)

By the time the palm-sized human skin slowly floated to the side of the ten fingers, it had grown into a complete human skin.

Human skin has two sides. The surface side is covered with witchcraft talismans, while the internal organs side is covered with Taoist talismans - the magic talismans.

The magic talisman emitted golden light, and the young man on the roof also emitted golden light.

Two balls of golden light responded, and the young man's figure suddenly disappeared. With the help of magic, the next moment, the man was wrapped in human skin, close to the ten fingers.

Wearing human skin, he was not afraid of the contamination of his ten fingers. He pulled out the black knife on the ground, and the white knife also sensed it and automatically attracted to the black knife.

Two knives in one.

After the young man put away the knife, he raised his ten fingers and grabbed the witch family talisman wrapped around the front of his human skin. It flashed red light, and fire ignited wherever his ten fingers and body came into contact with the witch spell.

The fire continued to burn, causing his ten fingers to scream in pain, but the man had no intention of stopping. He placed his ten fingers on his palms and clenched them into fists.

When he let go again, his ten fingers were like a handful of scorched earth.

"You should be good as fertilizer for Grandpa."

The man raised his left hand high, and the human skin flew out and turned back to the size of a palm.

At this time, the sleeves of his green robe fell down, revealing his slender arms.

The human skin landed on his forearm, and then merged with the skin of his forearm, as if they were one.

The man walked slowly to the ancestral tree, dug two handfuls of soil with his left hand, buried his ten fingers that had been burned to ashes in the scorched earth, closed the soil again, bowed to the ancestral tree, and walked towards Zhou Xuan's house.

……

"Boss, the middle finger has been dealt with." The young man bowed slightly to Zhou Lingyi.

"Thanks for your help, Fifth Brother." Zhou Lingyi has completely sacrificed the remains of her ten fingers. What she holds in her hands is the skin of her ten fingers that is as white as wax paper.

The spirit of the ten fingers' flesh and bones has completely disappeared.

Zhou Lingyi covered Zhou Xuan with a quilt and walked out of the house. Lu Mingkun followed closely behind him and turned around to gently lock the door when he went out.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you've been working hard lately." Zhou Lingyi said, "I've never told you about my brother, but actually..."

"Master, there aren't many things I care about. Just tell me what to do."

Lu Mingkun does dirty work the same way as he does honest work: he talks less, asks less, and does more.

"From now on, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the third brother. He is an actor."

The content of the words was simple, but it explained Li Shuangyi's methods and abilities.

"clear."

Lu Mingkun walked towards his third senior brother's house, getting farther and farther away.

Zhou Lingyi trusted Lv Mingkun very much, just because he was the most trusted confidant of the Zhou family.

Lv Mingkun recognized Zushu as his ancestor and signed a blood contract with the Zhou family. He was the "secret door" cultivated by the old boss.

The Zhou family’s business is big, so they need a “front door” and a “back door”.

The main and secret doors are the two sides of the Zhou family, both responsible for resolving business disputes.

The fourth brother Yu Jia is the main family. He moves between various powers and uses his connections and personal relationships to solve the Zhou family's business troubles.

But sometimes, relying solely on personal connections won't do much.

When you open your door to do business, you will always run into blind thugs, bandits who make money through illegal means, and desperate criminals hired by your peers... When you encounter these types of people, you can only see who has the darker hands and the harder heart.

It is not convenient for the brothers who are in the open to take action when it comes to bloody murders as it will damage the reputation of the team, so they have to use the secret doors that are used to do the dirty work.

The person who runs the secret door cannot be too famous and cannot meet too many guests. Even if he is caught with blood on his hands, no one will recognize him and the reputation of his team will not be damaged.

Lu Mingkun's work pleasingly pleased Zhou Xuan, who thought that his fifth senior brother, who was good at handling things, was being wasted in the Jingyi Room.

But because Lu Mingkun is in charge of the Zhou family's secret door and the Jingyi Department, a position that does not see guests, it is the most suitable for him.

Moreover, the Jingyi Department deals with corpses every day, which is beneficial for the fifth brother to go to the underworld to accumulate incense...

In the middle of the night, Zhou Xuan woke up. It was not because he was not sleepy, but because the incense burned too fast and his body was burning hot.

He stood up to get a glass of water, drank it with his head tilted back, and still felt unsatisfied, so he drank a few more glasses before his body cooled down a little.

"How many inches has the incense burned? It's so hot."

Zhou Xuan lay back on the bed and entered the Shenqi Secret Realm.

Only a short piece of incense is left.

It has burned eight inches!
"Sister is here again." Zhou Xuan felt warm in his heart.

He knew that the incense was not burned for no reason. It must be that his sister had fed him the blood of the White Walker again.

At this time, on the boat in the secret realm, Zhou Xuan was only an arm's length away from the paper man boatman.

The boatman held onto the pole, knelt on one knee, and murmured, "Eight inches... promotion ceremony... omen!"

The omen of the promotion ceremony will appear at eight inches?

Zhou Xuan pondered the boatman's vague words, and just as an idea flashed through his mind, suddenly the wooden sword on the table flew into his hand.

He subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife with the blade facing downwards. A force similar to the summoning of will controlled his hand to carve words on the wooden deck.

At the beginning, Zhou Xuan's consciousness was still trying to resist. His strength and willpower were not coordinated, and the wooden sword did not form any recognizable words on the deck.

But gradually, Zhou Xuan realized that the will was not rigid, and it seemed to respect Zhou Xuan's own strength.

He gave up his resistance and closed his eyes, letting his spirit hold the knife and feeling the power of the gods in the secret realm. The two horses, running in opposite directions, became partners with tacit cooperation.

The carving knife moved fluently across the deck.

When the power of will completely dissipated and the carving knife stopped, Zhou Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the words on the wooden board.

When he saw this, he was stunned - living towards death!

The omen of the two-stick promotion ceremony turned out to be "living towards death"? !

"This means... before lighting the second incense stick, I have to die again?"

"Perhaps I misunderstood the omen of the promotion ceremony!"

Zhou Xuan came out of the secret realm and closed his eyes to ponder the true meaning of "living towards death". After thinking about it, he could not come up with a reasonable direction, and sleepiness came over him.

He had a dream,

In the dream, he was driving happily on the highway, when suddenly a large truck hit him.

This is the scene of Zhou Xuan's death in his previous life.
The dream has not ended.

When the truck smashed his car to pieces, Zhou Xuan's dream returned to the starting point. He continued driving on the highway, and was hit by the truck again...

Infinite cycle, like a recurring hell.

I don't know how many times I have repeated this dream.

Finally, when the repeated dream segment was played out again, the dream actually changed.

Zhou Xuan was driving on the highway, but this time, he did not wait for the truck to hit him. Instead, he turned the steering wheel and crashed into the central guardrail.

His car unexpectedly broke through the guardrail in the middle of the road, but inexplicably drove into a stream filled with birdsong and flowers.

dreamland,

It seemed to be explaining to Zhou Xuan,

What does it mean to live towards death!
