Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 236 Jar Girl

In the following days, Li Zhi had a rare period of free time. All the ups and downs he had experienced before seemed to be temporarily forgotten, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Zhi is a person who cannot sit still. Now he has nothing to do except practicing, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Then, he remembered the unfinished wood carving. He had only finished half of carving the lightning-struck wood that he had asked for from Monk Puhui. So, he started over with the unfinished process.

Wei Si, who happened to come to greet him, saw this and Li Zhi mentioned it to Wei Si, asking him to help keep an eye out for these special woods.

Unexpectedly, Wei Si did not disappoint Li Zhi. He was very efficient and in less than two days, he got Li Zhi a lot of good wood.

Li Zhi was delighted to have so much good quality wood at once. He immediately calmed down and devoted himself to the wood carving work.

On this day, the sun shone through the cracks in the window and sprinkled on the floor inside the house, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Li Zhi was immersed in the world of sculpture when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Li Zhi put down the carving knife in his hand, stood up and went to open the door. He couldn't help wondering who would come to visit at this time? Usually, only Cheng Fengzi and Hong Fan would come occasionally.

But Hong Fan and Cheng Fengzi have been out for the past two days, and should not have returned yet.

As soon as the door opened, Deng Tianqi was standing at the door with a big smile on his face, holding a jar in his arms. His hearty laughter was the first to reach Li Zhi's ears: "Brother Li Zhi, I'm here to bother you. Do you mind if I didn't say hello in advance?"

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly went over to greet him warmly, with a smile on his face, and said, "Captain Deng, what are you talking about? Please come in! I have been wondering when you will come these days."

Deng Tianqi walked into Li Zhi's house. When he saw the half-carved object in Li Zhi's house, he asked curiously, "Can you also carve?"

Li Zhi just laughed and said, "I'm just carving for fun."

As he spoke, Li Zhi packed up his things. Then he asked Deng Tianqi, "Captain Deng, did you come to see me today because of this jar?"

Deng Tianqi nodded slightly, then bent down and carefully placed the jar in his arms on the ground. After the jar was firmly placed on the ground, he reached out and slowly lifted the oilcloth covering the jar.

As soon as the oilcloth was lifted, an extremely cold and eerie breath instantly hit me in the face, like a cold current that suddenly poured into the house, making the temperature of the entire room seem to drop a few degrees.

Because Li Zhi had practiced the art of controlling ghosts, he was particularly sensitive to this kind of Yin Qi. He suddenly felt a chill all over his body, shivered involuntarily, frowned tightly, and his eyes were full of confusion and vigilance. He immediately asked, "What is this?"

Deng Tianqi saw Li Zhi asking questions and had no intention of hiding anything. He replied calmly, "This is Miss Jar, but she seems to be sealed by something and is still asleep. That's why I came to you specially. I wanted you to use your spiritual finger to see if you can wake her up."

"Girl in the jar..."

Li Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He stared straight at the jar on the ground and was dazed for a moment.

The so-called jar girl is actually an extremely cruel and evil man-made product. Some crazy evil cultivators took a living little girl, cut off her hands and feet, stuffed her into a jar, and then used secret methods and some drugs to refine it into one.

This kind of jar girl can be used as a magic weapon, and because of its sensitivity to aura, it is often used for treasure hunting. It is for this reason that this jar girl has become an extremely sought-after existence.

Li Zhi once heard that someone offered a thousand taels of gold to buy a jar girl. Because of this, the extremely cruel "magic weapon" of the jar girl has always existed.

Li Zhi frowned tightly, and couldn't help showing disgust on his face. Although he was not a good man, he had killed many people and seen a lot of blood and cruelty. But when he saw this kind of crazy man-made product, he still felt a strong discomfort from the bottom of his heart.

When Deng Tianqi saw Li Zhi's expression, he roughly guessed what Li Zhi was thinking.

So, he explained, "Brother Li Zhi, please don't misunderstand me. I would never make such a thing. I stole it from an evil cultivator and left it there without using it. It's just that I really need this jar girl for something this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you."

Li Zhi understood that although he didn't know whether what Deng Tianqi said was true or false, since the other party had already said so, it was equivalent to giving him a way out.

If I were to be shameless and not take this opportunity, I'm afraid Deng Tianqi would no longer treat me as his brother, and he might even become a grudge against me because of this.

Li Zhi sighed in his heart. He knew that it would be meaningless to offend Deng Tianqi for this jar girl. So he said, "Then I'll try!"

A smile appeared on Deng Tianqi's face, and the barely perceptible fierceness in his eyes disappeared immediately.

Since he had decided not to make enemies with Deng Tianqi, Li Zhi no longer hesitated. He slowly squatted down and focused his eyes on the jar again. He saw that the mouth of the jar was pitch black, like a bottomless black hole. The situation inside was not clear at all, and there was a gloomy and strange atmosphere.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, and the Qi in his body began to circulate slowly. With his guidance, the Qi in his body gradually gathered together like a trickle, flowing slowly along the meridians, and finally gathered in his hands.

At this time, a faint light appeared around Li Zhi's palms, and the light flickered with the flow of Qi.

The Qi in his body continuously gathered in his hands, and the light became stronger and stronger. Then, Li Zhi suddenly pointed out with his finger, and at the same time shouted in a low voice: "Pardon!"

Although the voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable power and echoed in the silent room.

I saw a bright beam of light falling accurately on the mouth of the altar. The light instantly sank into the altar, as if lighting up a dark abyss.

The next moment, the Yin energy that had been quietly permeating around the jar began to roll and surge violently as if it had been strongly stimulated by something.

The yin energy was like a thick black fog, swirling and constantly twisting and changing shape, emitting an even more eerie and cold breath, making the whole house seem to have turned into an ice cellar in an instant.

Not long after, in the center of the vortex of negative energy, a skinny figure slowly emerged from the jar.

Li Zhi was squatting not far from the jar at the moment. He could clearly see that it was a naked little girl. Her long hair was hanging down, her skin was white but not rosy, and her eyes were empty and lifeless as she stared straight at Li Zhi.

Deng Tianqi saw this and his expression tensed up. He quickly reached out and picked up the oilcloth he had just uncovered and covered the girl with the jar. Then he quickly picked up the jar, his eyes flickered as he said, "Brother Li Zhi, I'm sorry to bother you this time. I have something to do and I'll leave first. I'll come back to thank you after I finish my business."

After Deng Tianqi said this, he left in a hurry.

Li Zhi looked at Deng Tianqi's back with a complicated expression, but in the end he just sighed.
