The apocalypse’s heavenly master poorly versed in the world’s affairs (11.1)

_____________

The man who had sold the crystal nucleus half was a frequent visitor to flea markets. Sun Wenlong soon found the man and asked him where he had found the nucleus.

This matter could not be delayed. When Qin Yi and his party were ready, they immediately left the base and went there. Before departure, Jiang Sile had also lost his temper and had a few words to say regarding Mu Fei’s presence. Only after seeing Qin Yi’s seething expression did he settle down.

The place where the nucleus was found was in a very remote mountain. The man was born in a small mountain village in the mountains. While protecting himself, he returned to his birthplace with a glimmer of hope to check if his relatives had survived. As a result, he had barely arrived at the village gate, when he was chased out by the village’s zombies. In desperation, his foot slipped sending him tumbling into the valley. It was at the edge of the mountain stream at the bottom of the valley that he found the half nucleus.

Lu Heng was now standing by the mountain stream where the man said he had found half a crystal nucleus. He squatted down, picked up a pinch of earth, and sniffed it carefully. The surrounding lands were unexpectedly clean, having no trace of demonic energy.

“I’ve explored it psychically. There’s nothing unusual around here.” Qin Yi said, “It’s too clean to have any mutated beasts. It’s not normal to be this pristine.”

When things start going wrong, demons are involved. 1 It’s too remote, uninhabited, and it’s still normal to have no zombies, but it’s not normal to have no mutated beasts.

Suddenly Lu Heng saw some small fish swimming out of the crevice of the stone in the water. The small fish were beating around a fist-sized stone happily. In this demon-infested world, water sources were basically polluted, and it was impossible for normal organisms to survive in them.

This water was not polluted. Lu Heng picked up the stone again and unexpectedly found that there was a faint trace of spiritual energy on it.

“Let’s go up the river and see it.” Lu Heng said, “However, the situation ahead is not clear; so it’s better to have Jiang Sile waiting here.”

“What if the devil comes out of Little Le?” Even if Mu Fei was watching, if anything happened, Qin Yi didn’t feel that he (MF) was willing enough to fight with Jiang Sile.

Lu Heng drew a note from the storage bag and said, “Devil suppression talisman, try to put it on Jiang Sile, and don’t be discovered by him.”

Devil suppression talisman was one of the most powerful talismans that heavenly masters could draw. Plus the devil was in a weakened state. If it were to come out and run amok, they could trap him for a while with this talisman. It was no problem waiting for Lu Heng to return.

As for how to put the talisman on him without being discovered by Jiang Sile, that was up to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded, took the note and folded it into small pieces, and walked towards Jiang Sile, who was waiting in the distance.

Lu Heng followed with interest, trying to see how he would put the talisman unnoticed.

“Ah Mu, I’m going to take a look upstream with Yunlan. You and Little Le are in the lookout. Is the walkie-talkie connected?”

Mu Fei nodded and answered, but Jiang Sile was not happy.

“Yige, I want to go with you, look at the view or something. It’s enough to have Mu Fei alone.”

“I don’t have time to take care of you.” Qin Yi spoke without mercy.

“You!” When Jiang Sile’s eyebrows stood upright, it always indicated his anger.

“All right.” Qin Yi patted him on the shoulder and said soothingly, “Being brothers for more than twenty years, what deep hatred do you have?”

Lu Heng saw Qin Yi clap on Jiang Sile’s shoulder for a moment, his finger moved slightly, and that small piece of folded paper was stuck into Jiang Sile’s sweater.

The dexterity of his hands was as expected from a veteran army man, Lu Heng thought.

It is said that there are more disassemblies and assemblies in the army than using guns. It is not surprising that Qin Yi, as the leader of the army, has such dexterity.

Putting their worries behind them, Lu Heng and Qin Yi went all the way up the mountain stream to the depths of the valley. The source of this mountain stream was actually a karst cave.

Once in the cave, there was a refreshing aura emanating, not because of the low temperature in the cave, but another more comfortable aura. It looks like… spiritual energy?

It was very dark inside the cave. Qin Yi lit a small fire in his palm to illuminate it. While conserving his powers, the fire was only enough to see the distance of one meter in front of him.

Qin Yi said, “Grab my clothes. It’s too dark in front. Don’t trip over.”

Feeling that the man behind him was obediently pulling at the hem of his clothes, Qin Yi began to fumble forward. The terrain in the cave was too complicated. They had barely walked a bit, before Qin Yi felt that the person behind him stumble and fall towards him.

Qin Yi responded very quickly and immediately turned back to catch him, not wanting the person behind him to hit the stones under the water at his feet. Although this man was caught, he was unable to control the momentum. Qin Yi himself slipped and they fell together.

It took Qin Yi a long time to recover from the sharp pain of landing on the tail bone. This time, he felt a very comfortable breath lingering on his nose. This person’s scent and spiritual power were both similar. So comfortable, just makes one want to keep smelling like this.

A moment later, Qin Yi found that the man on his body had not stood up even after a long time had passed. “Where did you hit? Was it where you were injured?”

The man did not speak, but wrapped his arms around Qin Yi’s neck.

Qin Yi’s whole person became stiff and nervous at once. “You, what’s wrong with you? Are you hurt badly?”

Qin Yi felt a shallow breath coming to his ear.

“Brother Qin, I’m a little cold.”

Qin Yi’s mind was blank, but his hands were subconsciously grasping the waist of the body. He did not know whether he wanted to push him away or embrace him.

In trance, Qin Yi seemed to feel cold lips moving on his face, and then slowly stick to his lips.

As soon as Lu Heng entered the cave, he had found something amiss. But before he could stop breathing and concentrate, he fell into it. He saw the familiar man with the moon behind him, a faint smile on his clear and moonlike face, and held out his hand towards him: “Want to go hand in hand with this poor monk?”

This scene was very beautiful, but Lu Heng was not the person of this plane after all, nor was Shi Kong. In an instant, Lu Heng came back to his senses. It was an illusion.

This illusion should be able to delineate the things in people’s hearts that they desire most.
