Chapter 1087 Talented but Not Destined

"Talent but no destiny..."

Ji Li rolled up his left sleeve slightly, pulled a red rope from his wrist, gathered all the scattered hair behind his head, and tied his long hair.

In the sound of thunder and rain, he showed this cold and thin face, the red of his left eye and the depth of his right eye were no longer hidden at this moment.

Whether it was madness or rationality, both emotions belonged to Ji Li, and at this moment they all turned into persistence and fearlessness.

"I believe in fate, but I believe in myself more. Even if I have to die, it will not be today."

There was a loud thunder rumble, and the sky was shaking.

Huang Banxian stared at Ji Li's profile in a daze, with mixed feelings for a while. Just as he was about to speak, he was shocked by a loud noise.

"Bang!"

The impact of the thunder continued, and one of the three coffins hanging vertically fell to the ground.

In the room filled with a damp smell, the two stared at the black coffin leaning against the corner of the wall, and watched the coffin lid slide down bit by bit.

This time, it was a few points smaller than the thunder.

The coffin lid fell to the ground, and an unexpected and extremely strange scene appeared in front of him.

This was a short coffin, like one for children, but it was not an empty coffin. Instead, there was a human-shaped creature with its hands folded on its chest and eyes closed like a dead person, lying in the center.

As the coffin fell, it also stood upright towards the two of them like a living person.

With the dim light seeping through the crack in the door, Ji Li recognized what it was - a paper man.

A half-grown paper man wearing a bright blue paper dress and black paper shoes.

Ji Li had never seen such a lifelike paper man. The pale oil paint on the child's face was just right, and he was undoubtedly a dead person in the dark.

If it weren't for the overly bright clothes, he would probably really think it was a dead person.

Ji Li secretly complained: "This coffin is not for sale."

"It's not for sale, it's Zhang Huairen's own use!"

Huang Banxian's eyes were wide open, and his finger was still trembling when he pointed at the paper man. His tone was horrified, as if he had discovered something incredible.

"This Zhang Huairen is really extraordinary. He is an ordinary person, but he actually thought of using this method to ward off evil spirits!"

"To ward off evil spirits?" Ji Li frowned and asked back.

Huang Banxian nodded heavily, rolled up his sleeves and began to walk around the coffin, while explaining:

"This is the ancient method - seven children to break the evil spirit.

Zhang Huairen used seven coffins to replace the Big Dipper, and the corpses of children under one year old as the center of the formation, using Yin Qi to counteract the evil spirit.

These coffins are not for sale, but to fight against the piercing evil spirit."

Huang Banxian gently touched the paper man in the coffin, and it was just as he expected.

The skin of these paper men is very elastic, not like paper at all, but very close to the skin of living people.

"How did you do it?"

Huang Banxian only knew one thing but not the other. He had heard of this ancient method, but he didn't understand why paper people could be used to replace dead bodies, and he didn't know how Zhang Huairen made paper people look like living people.

After a moment of silence, Ji Li leaned on his cane and moved forward, looking at the stairs at the same time, and said faintly:

"But with our arrival, the Seven Sons Breaking Evil Situation has been broken."

Huang Banxian was speechless, and his mouth opened and closed several times before returning to silence.

Zhang Huairen had the ability to live here, but with their visit, the Seven Sons Breaking Evil Situation that had been gathered with great difficulty was destroyed.

But at this time, he raised his head and looked at the roof, as if he was looking at the ceiling, but actually he was looking at the sky, and murmured:

"But it was not us who broke the formation, but this rain."

The thunderstorm was God's will, not coming with Ji and Huang, and it was not controlled by the root ghost.

Huang Banxian couldn't help but think of the auspicious rope and the Five Emperors' Coins hanging at the door.

No need to look, the rainstorm may destroy the five ropes and five coins.

Zhang Huairen and Ji Li, they have to fight not only the root ghosts, but also destiny.

"Fortune teller..."

Huang Banxian was a little confused. What is the theme of this mission?

Five elements talismans kill people, religious culture is the background, thousands of people are ghosts... This is the theme, Mei Sheng, Wei Guang and others are experiencing all this.

But why did the enemy have another destiny when it came to Ji Li?

Ji Li had already walked up the stairs, but Huang Banxian stayed where he was. He seemed to understand.

"Why is destiny creating resistance in Ji Li's battle of wits with the root ghosts?

That's because Ji Li was supposed to die in this mission..."

Huang Banxian was terrified.

He understood why Gu Xingjian said that, because once Ji Li really reached the critical moment of life and death, the power of the evil spirits would be spread on a large scale, and everyone would die at that time!

Huang Banxian's breathing became more and more rapid, even drowning out the sound of rain in this small space.

Ji Li turned a deaf ear to him. He walked slowly and firmly up the steep stairs and said lightly:

"Ji said it was not a kidnapping, you can go now."

...

Zhang Huairen is in this house, this is Ji Li's judgment.

When he first saw the lock, he was actually in a trance. The direction of a lock alone cannot be an ironclad evidence.

But until he entered the room and saw the seven-piece evil-breaking situation, he became more convinced of this idea.

The heart-piercing evil is the Feng Shui pattern of this house.

If Zhang Huairen was not in the room, he would not have needed to set up the five-rope, five-coin, and seven-piece evil-breaking situation.

It is precisely because of this heavy means that it can be confirmed that Zhang Huairen has a reason to stay in the heart-piercing evil.

And what exactly is this reason?

Ji Li believed that Zhang Huairen had calculated that he would come.

Numerologists are best at inferring fortunes. It is not surprising that Zhang Huairen can spy on this, so he has taken so many measures to ensure his own safety.

While Ji Li was fighting against ghosts, he was also fighting against God's will, and the same was true for Zhang Huairen. They were placed in the same camp and on the same front.

But judging from the current situation, both of them are beginning to show signs of failure.

Because the arrival of Ji Li caused a heavy rain, five ropes and five coins were wiped away, and the thunder shook the seven coffins.

In fact, with Ji Li's wisdom, he had already seen the change in fate, otherwise he would not have asked about his fate before taking action.

This mission has become much clearer by now.

The murderer needs to collect all five internal organs.

Tian Xiaolian's lungs, Cheng Xiaoming's spleen, Yuan Kuan's liver... now only the last two are left - kidneys and heart.

The human side is engaged in a battle of wits with Mei Sheng and Wei Guang, and its target is the "kidney" of someone in the fourth branch.

This side of the ghost is forcing Ji Li to look for Zhang Huairen. Why it arranged this is still unknown, but the ultimate goal is already obvious...

It wants Ji Li's heart!

From the beginning of this mission, Ji Li experienced many Five Elements Talismans, all of which were more or less related to "heart".

The five internal organs and five elements were only missing the kidney water and heart fire, but until now, he still didn't know what the murderer was going to do with all the five internal organs.

This thunderstorm may be God's will, giving Ji Li some hints from the side.

God's will seems to be on the side of the ghost...

Ji Li was not convinced, and Zhang Huairen was not convinced either.

A Tianhai store clerk and a numerologist used their own skills on this rainy night to try to compete with ghosts and heaven to change their own destiny.

Perhaps this is the true interpretation of "talented but not destined".
