Between life and death [unlimited]

"...What should I do?" Si Yufeng asked.

This time he was in trouble too.Si Yufeng originally wanted to wait for the other novice players to escape, and everyone continued to complete the task together, but in the current situation, only Jiang Xun escaped alone, and the system immediately issued a reminder.

Jiang Xun's poker face remained unchanged. He glanced at Si Yufeng who was in trouble beside him, and made a decision for him, "Let's go."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lai strode towards behind him, and Si Yufeng immediately followed him as soon as he recalled the terrifying pace of this man's footsteps.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see this person's back in a while!

Master Zhang's house is actually easy to find.In the barren courtyard, apart from the room that ran out just now, there was only the one at the back, which looked equally dark on the outside.

There is no doubt that this room must be the room of Master Zhang mentioned in the system.

The two walked to the front of the house.Si Yufeng glanced at the dark window, then looked at Jiang Xun who was standing beside him, and asked cautiously, "Then...can we get in now?"

If the room where the apprentices lived was still a bit popular, then the room where the master lived could not feel the breath of a living person.This room is also surrounded by walls made of loess, but the windows and doors are tightly sealed, and there is no light in the room. Standing a few meters away, you can feel the gloomy atmosphere inside.

Jiang Xun would definitely not risk his life in this kind of room where it was obvious at a glance that there were a lot of mysteries hidden in it.So he didn't answer Si Yufeng's question directly, but bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it towards the closed wooden door with only a little effort.

"Squeak..."

It turned out that the door of this room was ajar, and the small stones that flew past knocked lightly, and opened the wooden door that had been dusty for an unknown period of time.

After the door was opened, the lights in the room also turned on strangely, but the orange light did not make people feel at ease in this dark night, and the room revealed unknown fears everywhere.

"Good apprentice, come in quickly, the master has something to tell you..." The master's broken gong-like voice came from the room again.

Si Yufeng and Jiang Xun were speechless and looked at each other deeply.

In order to complete the tasks assigned by the system, no matter what kind of dragon's pond and tiger's lair is ahead, they can only bite the bullet and go in.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Lai saw a hunched figure sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room. The two walked up to see Master Zhang's face clearly.

I saw the dimpled face of an old man, who was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals at this time, Master Zhang's eyes stared at the two and narrowed into a slit with a smile, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, full of malicious.

Master Zhang said to them with a half-smile, "Good disciples... come here quickly, let Master take a good look at you."

Just as Jiang Lai was about to approach, Si Yufeng who was beside him suddenly stopped him.Jiang Lai gave him a puzzled look, but Si Yufeng didn't explain the reason for him as usual.

The smile on Si Yufeng's face disappeared, and he said to Master Zhang in a cold voice, "We'll just stand here."

The master stared at the blocked Jiang Lai and smiled, and was not annoyed after hearing Si Yufeng's words: "It's far away, the master can't see you clearly."

No matter how innocent Jiang Xun is, he now understands that Master Zhang has bad intentions.

Si Yufeng continued to confront Master Zhang with a cold tone: "What task is Master going to give us? He always urged us just now. Now that we have entered the room, why don't you say anything?"

Master Zhang's complexion became a little ugly under the light. He looked at Si Yufeng who had been reaching out to stop others, and said viciously: "It's not that you boy didn't let my obedient apprentice come over. Apprentice, I will naturally tell you what the task is!"

When Jiang Lai heard this, he immediately understood in his heart: this piece of master clearly regarded him as "food"!

Si Yufeng was not frightened by Master Zhang's malicious tone, he continued: "Master, if you don't tell me, I will take him away. Let's see who you can find to complete the task later!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang's face became more and more gloomy, and he stopped talking, as if he was making some tangled decision in his heart.

Although Master Zhang's face was very gloomy, he tried to struggle to get up several times, but he seemed to be bound by something all the time, Si Yufeng could see it.

Therefore, he is not afraid of this octogenarian who just looks a little scary.

After thinking for a while, Master Zhang knew that he couldn't fool that male apprentice, so he snorted, "Hmph, you are quite brave, you dare to be so stubborn with me. That's all, let me tell you about the task. .”

The familiar electronic synthesis sound of the system suddenly appeared next to their ears as a reminder.

[Congratulations to player Jiang Shui for starting the mission: Ghost Kiss]

[Task requirements: Master Zhang asked his apprentices to transport a male corpse overnight to the Qian family in the next village, and then protect the Dharma for Miss Qian's dark marriage ceremony. The task will not be considered complete until the system prompts that the ceremony is over. 】

After the two of them heard the content and requirements of the mission, their faces were not very good-looking.

Master Zhang stared at them and said with a sinister smile: "My good apprentice, hurry up and transport the corpse, if it's too late, the corpse will easily change..."

"... Jie Jie Jie..."

【Ding!The system will distribute the props in the mission, please pay attention to check! 】

The system interrupted another reminder, and after the broadcast ended, an extra package suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Xun out of thin air.Jiang Xun bent down to open the package, and saw some yellow talisman paper and a blood-red cinnabar pen inside.

The moment they touched the talisman paper, a reminder about the item appeared in the minds of the two of them at the same time.

[Mission props: 8 primary amulets, 1 ghost-avoiding cinnabar pen (Note: cannot be taken out of the mission)]

[Elementary talisman: It can protect you from the infestation of ghosts, but it is only valid once and burns when used up. 】

[Ghost-avoiding cinnabar pen: You can use this magical pen to draw all kinds of spells, and the drawn spells are valid for one time. 】

Si Yufeng took the cinnabar pen on his own initiative.

Jiang Xun looked at him strangely. The expression on Si Yufeng's face was a little unnatural. He pretended to cough dryly: "Hey, Jiang Xun, what do you think I am doing. Leave this pen to me for safekeeping. Those spells will wait for a while everyone." It’s all out, so I’ll trouble you to distribute it to everyone.”

In fact, even if this pen was given to Jiang Xun, he wouldn't know how to use it. He just saw Si Yufeng pick up the pen on his own initiative, which was a little strange.

A Western Christian priest is holding an Eastern Taoist spell pen. This mix-and-match style is really a bit incongruous.

Jiang Shuang didn't intend to ask why.After the two put away the props, the master rolled his eyes and probably guessed what the two put away just now.

He smiled maliciously: "Do you think you got the amulet? Hehehe... There is an old saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and vice versa..."

"What you think is safe is not necessarily safe. Jie Jie Jie..."

Hearing this, Si Yufeng suddenly felt that the cinnabar pen on his body was an ominous thing.

Jiang Xun was not disturbed by these words, he just gave the old master a sideways glance and walked out from the gate.Si Yufeng had no choice but to hastily follow Jiang Lai's footsteps again.

The old master's blunt knife scratching the glass voice seemed to follow them like a shadow.

"Good apprentices, the corpse is placed outside the gate..."

"If you can't complete the task, you should come back early to accompany the master. Jie Jie Jie..."

Not far from the door, the two saw a lot of people standing loosely outside the previous house.

As soon as the two of them approached the group of novice players, the high school girl from before spotted Jiang Lai a few meters away.

"Ah! Brother, it's great that you're still alive! I'm here!" the high school girl shouted excitedly, and then she flew into Jiang Shi's arms like a little pet.

Jiang Xun was bumped into by this little girl and took a step back: "..."

what happened?Is this girl too familiar, or does he look too much like her brother?

The high school girl blushed, and said shyly, "I'm sorry, I've taken you as my brother again." Fu raised his head from his arms again, stars flashed in his eyes, and asked expectantly, "How about, I'll call you brother from now on."

Si Yufeng could see clearly from the side, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to pull this little girl out of Jiang Xun's arms.

He seemed to think jealously in his heart: Although Jiang Lai's personality is as cold as an iceberg, his appearance is indeed very handsome, plus he looks thin when dressed and undressed, so it's no wonder that the little girl immediately likes him when she sees him on him.

This feeling of suffocation in my heart is really uncomfortable, so Si Yufeng suddenly opened his mouth in the direction of Jiang Xun, and gave a heavy fake cough: "Cough!"

At this time, Jiang Xun was suppressing the discomfort in his heart, pinched the little girl's collar with two fingers, and lifted the high school girl hanging on his body out.

After that, he didn't care about the little girl's face at all, so he said coldly to the high school girl, "Respect yourself."

This high school girl just now saw that the handsome guy she admired was still alive, and she lost her composure with excitement, but she didn't consider that these joy and excitement were actually just wishful thinking on her own side.

When she heard Jiang Lai's answer, shyness and embarrassment mingled in her heart for a moment.In fact, she didn't want to do anything at all, she just cared a little bit about this unreasonable handsome guy!So, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, tears appeared in her eyes in an instant, and they kept spinning.

Originally, Si Yufeng was in a good mood when he saw Jiang Xun's actions, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xun would make the little girl cry later!He quickly rescued his teammates, and quickly changed the subject: "Everyone should have heard the system's task notification just now, right?"

The rest of the novice players didn't come over, so they didn't know what happened between Jiang Shang and the female high school student, so they all nodded after hearing Si Yufeng's question.

Si Yufeng looked up at the starry sky, calculated in his mind, and said: "We should hurry up to complete the task. It is winter, Sirius is dew, and it is estimated that the time will be midnight soon."

Unlucky Uncle is the number one fan of Father Si, and he said in amazement, "Father is really amazing. He has a good command of both Chinese and Western cultures, and he can watch the sky at night!"

Others also expressed their praise.

Si Yufeng touched his head in embarrassment and smiled. In order to relieve the atmosphere, he jokingly said: "Teach the barbarians to learn skills to control the barbarians."

Jiang Lai, who was standing beside him, suddenly understood why Si Yufeng wanted to take that cinnabar pen just now.

Perhaps besides watching the sky at night, this person should also be able to draw symbols...
