Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 143 Drawings

The city of Moro was colder at night than during the day. The wind was howling and the chill was terrifying.

The disappearance of Wang Heiniu and his four companions did attract the attention of some people, including several like-minded friends who usually played well together. Since Wang Heiniu and his companions started to follow them last night, these people knew that they had set their sights on their prey again, but they had no idea about the prey's situation.

Normally, Wang Heiniu and the others were very quick in their movements, but they hadn't been seen the entire day today, which was a bit strange.

Of course, they were so concerned only because they were curious about how much benefit Wang Heiniu and others had made from this trip. They wanted to find out and have a good meal at the same time, but unexpectedly, the five people seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

This situation is probably not very good. They might have encountered a tough guy, so they are strolling around the streets now to get some information.

However, because it was too cold at night, although it was not yet curfew, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The cold wind blew in their faces, and they shrank their necks. They gave up the idea of ​​finding out the news and went back to their homes. After all, they were not brothers, and the other party did not inform them when he got the benefits.

……

In front of the house, after Si He finished washing up, she sat on a chair in the yard. While combing her long hair, she looked at the entrance of the cellar thoughtfully, and could not hear any movement.

However, there were some disturbing noises coming from the yard next door from time to time. It was the woman living there who was losing her temper. Occasionally she would yell at the servants who were serving her. She had a very bad temper.

But this time, there was no sound of Huang Dashan coaxing people, obviously he was not there.

Listening to the woman's cursing, Si He was a little surprised at her confidence. After all, no matter what her previous status was, she should have restrained herself a little in her current situation. However, she had been quite noisy since the afternoon until now.

At this time, Ning Ji came out of the cellar. After he came out, he did not close the cellar entrance, but just left it ajar, leaving a vent, for fear that the people below would suffocate to death.

Si He stood up and walked forward a few steps, but still didn't hear any movement below.

She didn't ask anything, and this was not the place to talk, after all, there were people living in the house next door.

"It's windy at night, come inside." He said to her with a smile.

"Yeah." She responded and had to go into the house first.

Ning Ji went to clean up.

Si He sat in the room, looking at the drawings on the table, a little absent-minded.

These drawings were brought back by Ning Ji the night before at Qinghe Pass. In addition to obtaining the customs clearance documents, he also got these things from a black-clad guard.

Drawing of the tomb.

This map marked all the tombs where they stored their essence bodies, most of which were located in the border areas of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The drawings were very detailed, with the approximate locations of the tombs simply circled with small red circles, and there were no written descriptions. Only those who knew the inside story could understand it.

Jiang Yuan has been doing this for the past two years, so this blueprint is naturally for him to see. After all, there are too many places to store essence bodies, dozens of locations, and recording them will make it easier to check them later.

The drawing only records the location of the tomb, but does not include the structural distribution map inside the tomb.

However, this blueprint is quite new, and she estimates that there are actually far more than this. Jiang Yuan is like a farmer who sows seeds through broadcasting, and these spiritual bodies are the seeds. The more seeds there are, the greater the harvest will be in the future.

Ning Ji brought this thing back, and she knew his intention. It was for her... for future use.

She thought of the tomb in the Tianshan Mountains. Jiang Yuan was able to extract so many spiritual essences from the corpse, which showed that the corpse had been kept for quite some time.

She was a little curious, was that the evil corpse raised by him?

So how long did he live?

In this world, besides him, is there any other half-corpse who can maintain his energy like him?

At this time, Ning Ji came into the room and saw her staring at the drawings in a daze.

He walked towards her and gently ruffled her hair. "What are you thinking about? So absent-minded?"

Si He looked up and met his gentle and doting gaze. She couldn't help but smile, but she still said what was on her mind, "I'm wondering if there are still half-corpses like Jiang Yuan in this world. How long can those black-clad guards live?"

Ning Ji sat down and held her on his lap. When he looked at the blueprint on the table, his eyes darkened slightly. "Maybe there is, maybe not, but those black guards won't live long."

She found a comfortable position and leaned against him.

Ning Ji quickly averted his gaze, the gloom in his eyes also faded. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, saying, "Those black-clad guards took drugs with spiritual essence, which turned them into those monstrous appearances. Although their attack power is very strong, their bodies can't withstand it. In as little as three to five years, or as long as ten to eight years, the corpse poison will erupt, and they will completely turn into a ferocious corpse."

Hearing him say this, Si He could imagine that those black-clothed guards would eventually become Jiang Yuan's seeds, cultivating the spiritual essence body.

Jiang Yuan is a talented person who makes full use of his people. Those black-clad guards were powerful subordinates when they were alive, and they were used to nourish his spirit after they died, without any waste.

She looked up at Ning Ji and said, "Back in the Tianshan Tomb, I saw Jiang Yuan taking spiritual essence without restraint. It didn't seem to have any effect on him."

He held her hand thoughtfully and said, "Those spiritual essences are too heavy with corpse energy. If you continue to consume them, the corpse energy in your body will accumulate. I guess at a certain point, you'll fall into dormancy. It's not just when you're lacking spiritual essence that you'll fall into dormancy."

Upon hearing this, Si He pursed her lips and thought of the contents on the parchment scroll.

The two chatted for a while until they heard the night watchman's call outside. Ning Ji stopped talking and said, "Okay, go to bed early. It's getting late."

He reached out and tucked her scattered hair behind her ear.

"Okay." She put her arms around his neck, and he carried her to the bedroom.

……

The next day, perhaps because of the cold weather, people didn't want to get up, so Si He slept in.

When she got up, the sun was already high in the sky. Ning Ji had already bought some food and brought it back from outside. He also brought some food and water to the people in the cellar to prevent them from starving to death.

At this time, Ning Ji put iron chains on those people, and the chains were wrapped with rags, so even if they moved, they would not make any loud noise.

Si He had never been down to the cellar and didn't know what was going on down there, but she didn't ask because she knew Ning Ji didn't want her to go down there and take a look.

She sat at the table, drinking the sweet milk tea that Ning Ji made for her, her eyes shining slightly. It tasted pretty good. Not too much milk was added, the tea flavor was a little stronger, and the sweetness was just right. He added a little osmanthus honey to it, which was not greasy and had a faint fragrance.

"How does it taste?" He made it according to her preferences, but this was the first time he made it, so he was afraid it wouldn't suit her taste.
