Half a Brick
Chapter 113 Lingdang Comes Knocking
My ice coffin was gone, the things inside the ice coffin were gone, Wu Tianzi's soul in the human world was severed, and the demon dragon formed by the combination of Mitian Ying and Zhulong was locked in the Mitian Realm.
Everything was over.
Without the Mitian Great God wreaking havoc on the world, and without the Great Heavenly Gods saving humanity, ordinary people lived their own lives. This was pretty good.
Even if, as the demon dragon said, the human world has its own disasters, then the human world also has its own way. Mortals will use their own methods to solve the problems they encounter.
Those Great Heavenly Gods and the Mitian Great God should each stay in their own territories and do what they should do, without having to sacrifice their sons or wives for us anymore.
I looked at the iron abacus in my hand, the half-pasted paper offerings, and the room full of evil spirits. I hung up the "Open for Business" sign and resumed my life as a small boss of a funeral shop.
Although I guarded the ice coffin for five years and the mad Taoist guarded it for a lifetime, we and Wu Tianzi were definitely not the same kind of people, nor were we the same kind of people as Wu Qi.
Wu Tianzi talked about saving all the people in the world, and Wu Qi was full of thoughts about establishing meritorious achievements, but the mad Taoist and I were both ordinary people, keen on the ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and basically would not actively care about major events in the world.
Now that everyone has returned to their positions, it's pretty good. A new day, infinitely beautiful, let's start working.
I had just cut the paper and was about to paste the paper offerings when my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
I answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
"Wan Qian, the person in the ice coffin is gone." The other party used very professional voice-changing equipment, and the speaking speed was also controlled very steadily. Not only could you not tell who it was, but you couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman, old or young.
"Do you know what that means?"
"What does it mean?" I asked calmly.
"It means that your funeral shop no longer has the protection of the Great Heavenly Gods, it means that you have to walk your own path in the future, it means that you have to bear everything yourself in the future."
"Oh." I responded politely, but didn't really take it to heart.
I, Wan Qian, have always lived my own life. Am I someone who needs a backer or a background? I am not an ambitious person, but I still have a bit of the arrogance of a young man.
"You should have taken advantage of Wu Tianzi's presence to get some things done in advance, but unfortunately, you didn't do anything."
"Specifically, what are you referring to?"
"You should understand it yourself."
This, I really don't quite understand.
Did I need to rely on Wu Tianzi's power to do anything? Borrow his power to destroy that three-in-one Bai Tingting? Before the ice coffin melted, I didn't even know that it was a soul of the Great Heavenly God Wu Tianzi. He never took the initiative to lend me his power, how would I know how to ask him for help?
Besides, if I had really borrowed Wu Tianzi's power to destroy that half-fox who had become a god, it wouldn't necessarily have been a good thing.
Wu Tianzi was originally a very nosy person, meddling in things he should and shouldn't be involved in.
If I used his power to deal with the half-fox, I would definitely drag him into this karma. What if the half-fox also had backers in the Heavenly God Realm? Then it would be lively. Maybe the grudge between me and Bai Tingting could directly escalate into a war between the Three Realms.
If it caused the suffering of living beings in the Three Realms, then I, Wan Qian, would really become a sinner for all time.
The current situation is pretty good. Human affairs should be resolved in the human world. There is no need to expand the influence.
There is no free lunch in the world, and Wu Tianzi's power cannot be borrowed without paying a price.
I am very content that I was able to know that he was Wu Tianzi after he left, and that I was able to live in peace with him for five years.
Perhaps it was because of this peace that the mad Taoist chose me.
"I'm sorry, I really don't quite understand what you mean, but I still thank you for calling me specifically to tell me this." My tone was still calm.
The other party didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly.
I put the phone back in my pocket and continued to paste my paper offerings.
"Who was that on the phone just now?" Eighth Sister's voice suddenly appeared in my ears.
"I don't know. He didn't say who he was, and I couldn't tell either."
"I think what he said makes a little sense. You should have let the big guy in the ice block destroy the half-fox," Eighth Sister said.
"Why?"
"Because he's here. I can feel his aura."
"Who?"
"That man, the one who forged the Fox Ancestor talisman and caused your soul to leave your body. Wan Qian, you must believe me, it may indeed be the Mitian Great God who trapped your soul in the Mitian Realm, but the one who first caused your soul to leave your body was definitely that Fox Clan talisman.
He can forge Fox Clan talismans, causing people with your cultivation level to have their souls leave their bodies, and he almost fooled me. This person is definitely not simple.
Also, now that the Ninth Generation Fox Ancestor has emerged, he still dares to openly impersonate the Fox Clan's great talisman. If he's not in cahoots with the Ninth Generation Fox Ancestor, then he doesn't even care about the Ninth Generation Fox Ancestor. You must be careful of such a person."
"I know. Where is he?"
"He's already at the door."
I immediately looked up at the door, and the door of the shop was indeed pushed open. However, it wasn't the male elder that Eighth Sister mentioned who came in, but a girl in a wheelchair, with a caretaker wearing a hat behind her.
I rudely bypassed the girl in the wheelchair and rushed out the door to check, but found that the street was empty and there was no one in front of my shop.
Then…
I immediately looked at the two people who had entered my shop. I recognized the one in the wheelchair. It was Lingdang, who had broken into my shop that day, asked me to go save her grandfather, and then used corpse control techniques to attack me, and was beaten into the hospital by me.
Lingdang had three serious fractures and definitely wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time, so she came in a wheelchair now.
The caretaker pushing the wheelchair was a thin woman with obvious birthmarks on her face, so the brim of her hat was pressed very low.
I looked at the caretaker under the hat a few more times, and she immediately glared at me with a cold face.
Okay, she has flaws on her face, and it was indeed impolite of me to look at her like that.
"Miss Lingdang is visiting again, what can I do for you?" I greeted Lingdang with a smile and asked Jasmine to pour tea.
A guest is a guest, and the minimum courtesy must be given.
"Shopkeeper Wan, something happened to my dad. I need your help. Name your price," Lingdang said straightforwardly.
I was stunned. "Are you sure you're here to ask me for help?"
We seem to have a feud, right? When we were in the hospital, didn't you say that you would have your dad come over and beat me to death? How did it so quickly turn into asking me to save your dad?
