I hear the Central Plains are much better!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can be done, the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is in the way, even the Central Plains can’t reach here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity for Lou the Scholar’s son, if born in chaotic times, he would be a hero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people spoke of rebellious sentiments, not fearing others might overhear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this teahouse was full of regulars, faces seen day after day, no one would be bored enough to inform the authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>South wall of the teahouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A semicircular archway embedded within, covered with black cloth, hidden behind was a spacious courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard sat a richly dressed, one-eyed old man over fifty on a grand chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was dark, with arms naturally hanging, his single eye shut, but his ears constantly twitched, clearly absorbing the commotion from the teahouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two who spread the news of Lou Yi’s capture ignored the servant’s obstruction, directly lifted the black cloth, swiftly crossed the archway, and came before the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was tall and strong, with intimidating snake tattoos on his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other had a frivolous face, disheveled hair, mismatched sandals, clothes pulled up revealing a large white belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lou Yi were here, he would recognize their identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the ruffians Wu Biao and Yang Er, whom he had once subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man opened his single eye, the eye dark yellow with a hint of fierce aggression, causing Wu Biao and Yang Er to avert their gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your plans, old man sees through them, don’t beat around the bush, speak up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man’s eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yan, didn’t you always admire heroes? Lou Yi shouldn’t die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, there are countless heroes in the world, should old man save each one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lou Yi is Lou the Scholar’s son, Lou the Scholar was gracious to you in the past!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humph! I introduced this brat to wood chopping long ago, the debt is settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Cao Tianlin clearly wants to execute him to make an example, getting involved would drown me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Old Yan’s words, Wu Biao and Yang Er exchanged looks, seeing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Yang Er seemed to make up his mind, took a deep breath, and then whispered, \"Old Yan, don’t you want revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, Old Yan’s eye flashed, glaring at the two, making their bodies tremble involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yan, you founded Qing Bang back then, almost unified Xinxiang, if not for Inspector Cao’s interference...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lou Yi, taught martial arts by a master, with extraordinary talent. If he escapes this time, he will surely return for revenge, Inspector Cao won’t escape death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the two nervously watched Old Yan, not daring to miss any expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Yan couldn’t help but touch his blind eye, deliberating silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move quicker, hurry up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, shackled and chained, stepped down from the prisoner cart, trudging forward with difficulty, whipped and cursed by the soldiers behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several days of delays, finally heading toward the Xinxiang Inspection Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archers, famished, randomly picked a tavern by the roadside, each settling down to feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi naturally had no seat but couldn’t leave their sight, standing in the middle, watching the archers eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, what would you like?\" greeted the enthusiastic shopkeeper with a black mole on his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cooked beef, yellow wine, peanuts, bring up the best!\" Man Slaughter Shen Fang nonchalantly dropped his massive Wolf Fang Club, creating a ’bang,’ shouting loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This whole journey, his mouth was tasteless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archers were forbidden from drinking during the mission, but with Shen Fang leading, others indulged without worry, feasting recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi stood silently in the center, coldly observing the officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey naturally had much physical torment, but he endured it unflinchingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were benefits, his mind and will were thoroughly tempered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant from the once peaceful 21st-century young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the Attribute Panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name section showed half red, half green, indicating his dire condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lou Yi wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Attribute Panel and stored energy, recovering to his peak was a matter of minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wooden shackles couldn’t trap ordinary martial artists, let alone him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was how to avoid repeating the mistake, to prevent Gou Wa and his companions from falling into danger again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t afford to be threatened again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Must find a way to eliminate future threats.’ Lou Yi already had a rough plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this thought flashed through his mind, there was a ’bang’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone’s head hit the table with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, this one drank too much!\" laughed a nearby man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t last long either, plunking face down into his bowl, soaking in the wine unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, over ten archers guarding Lou Yi fell asleep like dumped dumplings, oblivious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Man Slaughter still struggled, roaring: \"You bastards, drugged me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried picking up his Wolf Fang Club but his limbs were too weak, only for the shopkeeper to rush forward and kick him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems you haven’t drunk enough yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a faint smile, the shopkeeper with a black mole on his nose poured wine freely over Man Slaughter’s face, embarrassing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, I’ll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men pressed down the struggling Man Slaughter while another forced his mouth open, pouring wine into him nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a martial artist, Man Slaughter couldn’t escape the knockout drug’s punishment, his strained eyelids gradually shut, finally collapsing on the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry and release the hero!\" the shopkeeper commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, several people rushed from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lou Yi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, Lou Yi saw the ruffians Yang Er and Wu Biao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a rush of joy: \"Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lou, all thanks to these two petitioning Old Yan, we’re just following orders,\" explained the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Gou Wa’s mother pleaded with us, we’ll do our best,\" Yang Er sheepishly scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, words can’t convey my gratitude!\" Lou Yi shackled, unable to bow, could only slightly bend to express thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lou, don’t rush.\" Among the group, a middle-aged man in his forties, pulled out a slightly curved special silver needle from somewhere, smiling: \"No matter how tough the locks, meeting my ancestral silver needle can only submit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he inserted the silver needle into the lock’s hole on Lou Yi’s shackles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no visible action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ’crack’, the iron-plated shackles were unlocked, freeing Lou Yi’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.610Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","1dd33d2bd0ffef780fe066238d20ed5cd9aa42a2c1cad8c769cfb510e97ab5c4","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-351","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-49",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
