At that moment, I almost couldn't believe my ears!
Children usually learned to speak around one year old, and Wang Li hadn't even been two months old, but he had actually opened his mouth to speak!
That "Get lost" was clear and crisp. It definitely wasn't the mumbling of a child. It was more like an emperor who had been in a high position for a long time and had been fooled by his servant, letting out a disdainful and angry shout.
I definitely didn't see it wrong. The cold and disdainful expression on Wang Li's small face was very clear. This definitely wasn't something a child should show.
Not only was I scared, but Zhang Kanwen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had a bigger reaction. He suddenly jumped up from the edge of the bed and took two steps back. His hand was holding a spell, and his face was full of anxiety.
Seeing his actions, I reacted and quickly took out the Yin Yang Yama Brush. In a panic, I even took out the silver talisman that I had used to save my life. I held it in my hand and stared at Wang Li, ready to activate it at any time.
Fortunately, I didn't use the talisman in the end.
Wang Li's small body stood on the bed, and his cold eyes scanned between Zhang Kanwen and me a few times. Then, he lay back down and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the coldness and disdain in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by weakness and anxiety. He glanced at Zhang Kanwen, who wasn't far from him. His small mouth pouted and he started to cry softly.
Zhang Kanwen turned his head and looked at me. The panic and fear in each other's eyes dissipated a little. Zhang Kanwen quickly returned to the bed and patted Wang Li's body a few times. He comforted him while carefully checking his condition.
After a few minutes, Zhang Kanwen let out a long sigh and his expression relaxed. He reached out to hold Wang Li's small body and said softly, "Li 'er, don't be afraid. It's okay. It's okay …"
It could be seen that although Zhang Kanwen had a big beard and looked rough and fierce, his heart was actually very soft. During this period of time, he had obviously treated little Wang Li as his disciple.
Little Wang Li was very well-behaved. After being comforted by Zhang Kanwen, his crying gradually disappeared. He looked at Zhang Kanwen and after blinking a few times, he seemed to be a little tired and slowly closed his eyes to fall asleep. It seemed that he understood Zhang Kanwen's words.
After Little Wang Li fell asleep, Zhang Kanwen quietly got up. His face turned solemn. He waved at me and we left the room.
Outside the room, Zhang Kanwen had just closed the door when I hastily asked, "Big Brother Zhang, just now, Wang Li … Did the Spirit World's demon appear from the other side of the tunnel?"
Zhang Kanwen nodded. After lighting a cigarette, he said in a low voice, "That's right. Although Wang Li hasn't reached the half-year mark yet, the black spot on his chest is the mark of that demonic creature. Through this mark, that demonic creature can temporarily project itself onto his body … But from the looks of it, that demonic creature shouldn't be able to unleash its power for the time being."
That black spot was the mark?
My heart sank. After pondering for a while, I asked, "Brother Zhang, did you succeed?
Can Wang Li safely pass the half-year mark? "
Hearing my question, Zhang Kanwen's face darkened. He shook his head and said, "I was about to succeed, but after the demonic creature appeared, I checked Wang Li's body again. He has returned to his previous condition. It seems that … the symptoms have worsened!"
Worsened?
Then wouldn't our efforts for the past month be in vain?
My face darkened, but I still forced myself to comfort Zhang Kanwen. "Brother Zhang, don't worry. We didn't succeed this time. We can cast the spell again next time."
Then, my expression suddenly changed as I thought of a bad possibility.
The demonic creature had most likely appeared because of Zhang Kanwen's spell. If the next time Zhang Kanwen cast the spell, the demonic creature would appear again. Wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?
If that's the case, how would Wang Li pass the half-year mark?
Seeing the change in my expression, Zhang Kanwen seemed to have guessed my thoughts. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry. The demonic creature can't use its power for the time being. It must have used up all its energy to appear. The next time we cast the spell, the demonic creature won't appear. It won't be difficult for Wang Li to pass the half-year mark."
I heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was fine as long as he could safely pass the half-year mark.
If he could pass the half-year mark, he would be safe for at least a year. One year later, Zhang Kanwen and I might break through to the Heavenly Master realm. Even if we couldn't find a solution, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to pass the second barrier.
However, I lifted my head and saw that Zhang Kanwen didn't relax at all. His face was still terrifyingly gloomy.
I didn't understand and asked hesitantly, "Brother Zhang, did you find something bad?"
Zhang Kanwen was silent for a moment. He put out the cigarette in his hand, opened his mouth, and said in a very puzzled tone, "Just now, when I expelled the Yin Qi from his body, I found that the Yin Qi … doesn't seem to be Yin Qi …"
Evil Yin Qi was not evil Yin Qi?
I was confused by Zhang Kanwen's words. What did he mean?
Without waiting for me to ask, Zhang Kanwen immediately explained, "Although that aura looked like Yin energy on the surface, it didn't look like it … Instead, it was similar to Dao energy. There was an indescribable feeling."
Similar to Qi of the Way?
How was that possible?
Even if that aura was different from normal Yin energy, Dao energy and Yin energy were two completely opposite powers. Even if the Yin energy wasn't normal, it shouldn't be similar to Dao energy.
I shook my head. "Brother Zhang, you must have seen wrongly. How could Yin energy be similar to Dao energy?"
Zhang Kanwen shook his head and didn't insist on his opinion. He sighed and said, "I must have seen wrongly … Alright, call Wang Kun and the others over. Take care of Wang Li for a while. I've used up too much Dao energy in my body, so I need to rest. Wang Li's situation isn't clear yet. You should also pay attention to the situation here to prevent any accidents."
He seemed to be extremely tired. After saying that, he didn't wait for my response and directly pushed open the opposite door and walked in.
After he rested, I sensed Wang Li's situation. I didn't find anything wrong with him. Then, I called Wang Kun and his wife and asked them to take care of Wang Li. I returned to my room and stabilized the shaman energy in my body while diverting part of my energy to pay attention to Wang Li's situation.
It was not until the next morning that Zhang Kanwen came out of his room. It seemed that his Qi of the Way had been completely restored. However, he did not use his Qi of the Way to strengthen little Wang Li's corporeity today. He just went to take a look and then returned to his room. He waited silently, looking a little strange.
I wanted to ask about the situation, but today was the day that Xiao Jin was transforming, so I didn't have time to ask. I brought Xie Chenghua with me and asked him to drive me and Xiao Jin to the same place where we had transformed.
Xie Chenghua knew how to drive. I guessed that it was troublesome for me to use a car these days, so he especially drove his car over for the New Year. He said that it was more convenient for him to help me.
That way, it was much more convenient. I didn't have to trouble Wang Kun every time.
After I returned, I hurried to check on Zhang Kanwen and Wang Li's situation. Who knew that as soon as I entered the shop, I would hear arrogant laughter. I looked up and saw that the spirit snake had returned. His slender body was sitting on a chair in the middle of the lobby. He was bragging about how he had gone to the old forest in Yunnan, where he had encountered a thousand-year-old Gu insect, and how he had had an earth-shattering battle.
Liu Chuande and the little zombie were sitting in front of him.
Liu Chuande wore a flattering smile on his face as he listened to his bragging. The little zombie was looking into the distance with a dull face. He didn't react to his words at all.
The spirit snake was so engrossed that he didn't notice that I had entered. Only when I used my shaman energy to pick him up and throw him to the side did the spirit snake stop talking. He opened his mouth and scolded, "Which little brat is it …"
Halfway through his scolding, this fellow turned around and saw that it was me. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Aiyo, it's you, Big Brother Zhou. I knew it. The hands that grabbed me just now were so strong, like a god. This little snake didn't even have the thought of resisting. I thought that the god from the heavens had descended …"
This fellow, when he started spouting nonsense, he was really bold and imaginative. I smiled at him, "Really?
I just heard you say something about little brat … "
Before I could finish, the spirit snake shook his head and said righteously, "How could it be?
How could it be?
I just said little brat! "
He smiled and didn't seem embarrassed at all. He pointed at himself and continued, "I was talking about myself. I'm a little brat …"
I waved my hand in annoyance. "Okay, let's talk business. Why are you back so soon?
Have you found all the mushrooms? "
After hearing my question, the spirit snake became arrogant again. He laughed crazily. "Look at me, Snake Immortal … Who do you think I am? I've come here personally. Is there anything I can't solve?
Here, I've found all the things I need! "
After saying that, he shook his tail and threw out a khaki-colored cloth bag out of nowhere. A few black fungus objects leaked out of it.
I resisted the urge to beat him up. I picked up the cloth bag and carefully checked. After confirming that the mushrooms were the same as the one Yan Nantian had used last time, I felt happy.
