Chapter 110

The temple is deep and secluded; inside the courtyard stands an ancient well covered by a blue brick slab, upon which rests a Dharani sutra shroud, with four chains extending from the well's edge to the hands of Luo Han stone statues at the four corners.

An old monk with a white beard sits cross-legged in meditation before the well.

This area is not open to tourists, and recently, the abbot has strictly forbidden the temple's monks from approaching it.

As the sun sets in the west, the old monk's shadow is stretched very, very long, until another figure steps upon it.

The old monk opens his eyes and sighs in relief: "Patron Liu, you have finally come."

Liu Yi tosses the large bag in her hand onto the ground, walks up to a stone-carved Luo Han statue, reaches out to grab a chain, and pulls it backward.

Accompanied by a "clattering" sound, the other three chains move in unison, and the four stones wedged in the center of the wellhead are opened.

Liu Yi walks to the edge of the well, lifts the Dharani sutra shroud, tosses it casually onto the ground, and then raises her foot, kicking the topmost blue brick slab over with a "bang."

The old monk says nothing more, simply picking up the sutra shroud in silence.

Liu Yi is in no hurry to descend into the well; instead, she looks at the old monk and asks: "What are you still doing here?"

The old monk replies: "Since Patron Liu has entrusted this here, this poor monk naturally must help keep watch personally."

"Meddlesome."

"Patron Liu, this is this temple's well."

"During the Qianlong era, my Liu family ancestors used this well to suppress a corpse demon, and later ordered their attendants to build a temple here to guard it; calculating it carefully, old monk, the first abbot of this temple, who was your grand-master, worshipped my Liu family's Long Wang back then."

"So, shouldn't this temple belong to my Liu family?"

The old monk: "Patron Liu's words are entirely correct."

"Hah, I thought you old monk would say to me, 'times change'."

"I dare not," the old monk says candidly, "my worldly cultivation is incomplete, I have no Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face to see the Buddha."

"Go away."

The old monk raises his hand: "I ask Patron Liu to first collect that thing."

Liu Yi waves her palm, and a black shadow darts out from an unknown corner nearby, reaches Liu Yi's feet, crawls up, and finally lands in her palm; with a backhand motion, the thing vanishes.

The old monk lets out a long sigh, rises, and leaves holding the sutra shroud.

He was here to watch the thing, but not the one inside the well, rather the one placed beside it.

If that thing were to lose control and wreak havoc, his entire temple would likely turn pitch black, and they would all go to the Western Heaven to visit the Buddha together.

After the old monk leaves, Liu Yi jumps into the well, and soon, she pulls out Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng, who is stark naked from head to toe.

After landing by the wellhead, Liu Yi lightly rubs her nails, releasing a wisp of exotic fragrance, which she delivers to Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng's nose.

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng opens her eyes.

"Master..."

"From this moment on, change back to your previous form of address."

"Liu Yi."

Liu Yi nods, her fingers tracing over Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng's skin, sensing its fairness and delicacy, and smiles:

"This is what a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing should look like."

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng asks: "Liu Yi, wasn't it said that I should soak for a day and a night?"

No girl can resist the temptation of her skin becoming better.

"Someone asked me to fish you out early."

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng nods immediately: "That is as it should be."

"I brought you a few sets of clothes; choose one to wear first and take the rest. Your original clothes were too tacky; even old village aunties dress more fashionably than you."

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng chooses a set of clothes from the bag, puts them on, stands up straight, and uses both hands to brush back her wet hair, displaying a youthful and carefree elegance; she is very young, after all.

"Liu Yi, thank you."

Her grandfather is a man, and her parents left her life very early; in Liu Yi, Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng found the feeling of a mother.

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

Liu Yi stretches, feeling not much reluctance in her heart, only infinite relief; these past few days, she was truly exhausted.

"Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng, remember, when looking for a partner in the future, find one who can cook."

"Mm."

"If you meet someone unworthy, just cook him a meal yourself."

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng returns to the Liu family, pushes open the courtyard gate, and walks in, seeing Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and A Li sitting under the flower trellis; both the boy and girl have their heads raised, treating the starry sky as a chessboard.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan shifts his gaze, glances at Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng, and then withdraws his gaze to continue playing chess, but still spits out a two-character evaluation:

"Whiter."

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng smiles and asks: "Have you eaten?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "That question is quite frightening."

Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng waves her hand hurriedly: "No, no, Liu Yi went to buy groceries and will be back to cook soon."

"That is for the old lady and A Li; we probably won't make it in time to eat." As he speaks, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's gaze turns toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, who is running over on the distant path.

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, I have arranged everything."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin Ge."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan turns his head to look at A Li: "I am going out, I will bring you a gift when I return."

A Li nods.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looks at the bone ring on the ring finger of his left hand; he likes this ring very much, but unfortunately, his body will continue to grow, and this bone ring will eventually become too small to wear.

But it doesn't matter; he can just scrape another one out of the Si Dao ash.

When the boy walks out of the courtyard gate, he pauses and looks back; the girl under the flower trellis is still watching him.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan reaches out and touches his own Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

He has already prepared himself mentally; for the next period, the human skin on his body will tighten once again.

The boy takes a step forward and walks away.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng, who are following behind, glance at each other, both understanding the meaning in the other's eyes:

Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge is leaving A Li for a while; we must be careful not to make mistakes, especially not to act stupidly.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's arrangements are very appropriate.

He arranged the sparring venue in the open space by the river outside the school infirmary.

Furthermore, he ordered food from Old Sichuan in advance and brought chairs.

When Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and the others arrive, someone is already sitting there, having lit the alcohol block under the grilled fish platter, and all the food boxes are open; one person is eating heartily.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Hey, A You, why did you start eating alone?"

"Who knows when you guys would arrive? Too dawdling."

Under the moonlight, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You raises his head; he has already applied his makeup and painted his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

Immediately, he looks at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, points his finger at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, and asks:

"Hey, if I beat him, won't I be unable to get the secret technique from you? So, should I intentionally throw the fight to him? Hehe."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan also looks at Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You and says calmly: "Repeat what you just said."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You hesitates.

Before and after applying his makeup, his personality changes drastically; currently, it is very close to symptoms of dissociative identity disorder.

Moreover, the more well-behaved Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You is before applying makeup, the more perverse he becomes after.

"They" two will only move toward each other's two extremes.

But even after applying makeup, he has complete memories, so he is also clearly aware of Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and the further understanding of the Long Wang family behind him.

Their power is far inferior to others, and they still need to beg for precious secret techniques; he truly has no qualification to be so arrogant in front of them.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "How about this, you give me the secret technique, and I will listen to you."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin walks up and slaps the back of Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's head: "You've grown some ambition, haven't you? Starting to negotiate terms."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You has been clinging to them every day these past few days; although a bit annoying, the bit of favor he finally accumulated in front of Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuanzi Ge was directly ruined by you in a few seconds.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You turns his head toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin as if triggered; although there is anger in his eyes, it is not too much, even after applying makeup, his attitude toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin is a bit special.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "What are you looking at? Speak properly!"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You looks at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan again and says: "Fine, I will listen to you."

He said it verbally, but the tone and gaze, combined with the Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face paint, have the posture of a street hooligan who is unconvinced despite his words.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Use your full strength to fight Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng."

As he speaks, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looks at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "Do not use lethal moves."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "Mm."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You stands up with a "swoosh" as if a firecracker had been lit; he feels insulted and says indignantly:

"I will listen to you, I will go all out."

Subsequently, he leaves his seat and walks to the open area.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng walks over.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin returns to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's side and asks in a low voice: "Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, A You's state is getting more and more outrageous; is there any way to cure this kind of schizophrenia?"

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin Ge."

"Mm?"

"Why do you think I can cure it?"

"I... in my heart, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, you can do everything, hahaha."

"The influence of his personality comes from Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, so just treating him won't work; one must treat the Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi."

"But why do I feel that the symptoms of his Master and his grandfather are nowhere near as exaggerated?"

"He is born with a keen spirit, making it easier for him to sense the Guan Old Old Old Jiang Shou, and naturally, he is more easily influenced by their infiltration."

"Moreover, he can currently only invite the Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi; later, when he can invite the two generals Zeng and Sun, the personality influence will be even more obvious."

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, is there a way to treat them?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not speak.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin assumed Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge couldn't be bothered with such matters.

In reality, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's words had provided Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan with a certain inspiration, and he was currently thinking.

Ahead, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You began his spirit mediumship.

His vertical pupils opened, and his entire temperament changed abruptly.

But Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's first glance was not toward Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, who was about to spar with him, but toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin only felt a murderous intent rushing toward him, and his back immediately turned cold; ever since he learned to walk in the yin, he had been extremely sensitive to this aspect.

"Damn it, why does he want to mess with me?"

"Because you were the one who stabbed Him last time."

"Yin gods can hold grudges too?"

"You said it yourself, they are Yin gods; their previous incarnations were all ghost kings and ghost generals."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng pointed at himself: "Your opponent right now is me."

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's gaze sank slightly, his body lunged forward, phantoms appeared under his three-step praise, and after reaching Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, he swung his fist and smashed it toward Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

"Slap!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng raised his right hand, blocking this punch in front of him.

When Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had arranged the fight earlier, he had specifically instructed Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You not to bring that trident, and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, who had not yet painted his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, was still very obedient.

Of course, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng also did not take the Yellow River Shovel, and was likewise bare-handed.

At this moment, both sides fell into a stalemate.

Blood-colored light swirled in Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's vertical pupils; He felt angry because an ordinary person had actually caught His punch, and appeared very relaxed while doing so.

He began to exert force continuously, the river beach ground under his feet gradually sinking, and the same was true under Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's feet; at the same time, there was a faint sound of wind at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's right arm and right shoulder.

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi raised his leg, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng also raised his leg.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Both sides kicked each other on the body.

Then, because their hands were still tightly entangled, the result of each kick was that they were both kicked up, and then both fell to the ground Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face down.

Even at this point, their hands still had not let go.

Immediately following, Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stood up and lunged forward at the same time, wanting to reach above the other to occupy the initiative, which finally only turned into a fierce collision between their shoulders.

"Bang!"

After the collision, each of their other hands went to grab the other's opposite shoulder, and then they each turned their heads to clamp the other's hand.

The two people rolled on the ground, rolling all the way into the river.

The first to poke his body out was Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, but as soon as he poked out, he was thrown back into the water by Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng again.

The entanglement between the two under the water stirred up a large amount of spray, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, who was clearly more adept at water, gradually occupied the advantage at this moment.

However, Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's vertical pupils began to swirl.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng suddenly felt a wave of dizziness; although he could still overcome it, the speed of his punches and kicks appeared slightly sluggish as a result.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan secretly noted in his heart that this was the first time he had actually seen a Guan Old Old Old Jiang Shou use a technique.

After taking several punches from Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi in a row, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng let out a low roar, his eyes turned red, the effect of the vertical pupils was dispelled, his punches and kicks recovered, and he once again pulled the momentum back.

Because it was all close-quarters combat, and both chose to compete in strength, it was difficult for the moves to look good; this scene was more like wrestling in the water.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng Ge has won."

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's fighting habit was to exert all the strength of the medium's body as soon as he came up; he would not hold back, nor would he show mercy.

And Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, although he had used various local Qi seas during the exchange, had not yet fully opened them collectively, meaning he had always kept an ace up his sleeve.

Perhaps if this move were used, it would cause Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng to be too severely overdrawn; with a mission imminent, he had to ensure his state was stable, but because of this chip, the outcome had actually already been decided.

Next, what was being verified was Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's endurance.

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi did not choose to leave the water battlefield that was disadvantageous to him at the first opportunity, but under continuous pressure, he had to make a choice; he took a punch from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, his body flew backward out of the water, and he landed back on land.

This sluggish reaction was not because Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi did not know how to fight, but because of His arrogance.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng followed him out and continued to fight him on land.

The ears of the three people watching the battle were filled with the thunderous sounds of punches and kicks colliding.

Gradually, Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's momentum began to slide, and the vertical pupils also gradually became difficult to maintain.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng Ge."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan called out, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stopped, took a few steps back, and began to breathe deeply.

With every deep breath, his clothes would be sucked tightly against his body before rapidly expanding again.

This was deliberately giving Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi a chance to light the path-guiding incense.

Three sticks of path-guiding incense were lit and inserted onto the crane crown; Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's aura recovered, and he attacked again.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stopped breathing deeply and met him again. Constant punches, kicks, shoulder strikes, and collisions; both sides were using the most direct moves to conduct the most primitive competition of strength and endurance.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin clicked his tongue and said: "Tsk tsk, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng has improved so much."

Before, when the three of them faced Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, they were all at a disadvantage; now, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng alone could fight to a draw.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin also understood that what Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi lacked was time; as long as one could endure, if he couldn't beat you to death, then his medium would "undoubtedly die."

The three sticks of incense burned out, Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's body fell into sluggishness again, and the vertical pupils showed a trend of scattering once more.

This time, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng did not need Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's reminder; he stopped on his own, took a few steps back, bent down, and supported his knees with both hands. The clothes on his body were now in tatters; the clothes that were originally like a blower had now turned into cloth strips constantly sticking to him and then blowing up.

But the sixteen wounds on his body that were once coffin nails had not opened because of this; they remained closed.

Coffin nails were similar to the auxiliary small wheels on both sides of the rear wheel when a child learns to ride a bike, letting you clearly know the position and application of the Qi sea; Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng deepened his understanding of this through this battle.

Those wounds would also completely heal in the near future, but the Qi vortex would still gather there, exerting the same effect.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin asked: "Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, should we use needles?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head; he walked to Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, who was already kneeling on the ground, about to end his spirit mediumship state.

The young man smeared red mud on his fingers, pointed it at Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's brow, and then pulled it down along his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, drawing a red line on his facial makeup.

Immediately following, he pinched seals with both hands again, and then drew a circle at the positions of Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's two temples.

Finally, his fingers pointed to the empty side, and then flicked toward Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You.

All around, a faint wind appeared, carrying a chilling coldness; this was baleful Qi.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had just set up a simple, and one could even say one-time, baleful Qi gathering formation on Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You.

In the past, he had used this kind of formation to try to stimulate the ferocity of the dead.

Now, he was using the same method to stimulate the instinct of the Yin god.

The baleful Qi gathering was completed, the red dot on Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's brow turned black, and the black color went all the way down, covering that red line.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan retreated while hooking his fingers:

"Rise!"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You opened his eyes again, and the vertical pupils recovered.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's mouth: it succeeded.

This was a kind of pleasure, no less than when he was reading and studying on the second floor of his great-grandfather's house, and his own conjectures were proven feasible.

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi glared at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, a clear murderous intent revealing itself in his eyes.

As a Yin god, receiving offerings from temples, forming a tacit understanding with the medium, when the medium summons, they descend, borrowing the medium's body to eliminate evil spirits and accumulate merit; they are the masters, coming and going as they please.

But the young man before him was attempting to subvert this ecology!

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi clenched his fists and instantly stood up from his kneeling position.

No one knew if he really wanted to throw this punch at the young man, because Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng did not give the situation a chance to develop in this direction.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng rushed up in time and knocked Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi flying, then Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi stood up again and fought with Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, repeating the story of the previous two rounds.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was observing Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's physical condition; the first time he fought the Guan Old Old Old Jiang Shou on the playground, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was severely injured instantly after the spirit mediumship state ended.

At that time, what Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan suspected was that the injury had been suppressed.

But, was it really like that?

The dull and boring beating continued for another period of time; the difference was that this time Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng also clearly showed a decline, and Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi was able to suppress Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng and start beating him, while Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng could only defend passively.

However, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's decline stopped after dropping to a certain level, like a downward parabola, gradually tending to be flat, rather than falling again and again until breaking the position.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded secretly; this meant that in the future when facing tricky opponents, even if Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng was not in his peak state, he could continue to delay and hinder the other party.

The combination of the Qin Family's Black Black Black Black Black Black Jiao Method and the body-refining technique was indeed mysterious.

In the second half of this third round, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng purely endured it.

When Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi knelt on the ground with a "thump" again and his vertical pupils scattered once more, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng also knelt on the ground, supporting himself with both hands, and while swallowing saliva with difficulty, the sound of breathing on his body also became much weaker.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng Ge, are you still okay?"

"I can!" Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng raised his head.

"Yin Meng." Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan called out, and then walked toward Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi again.

Yin Meng rushed over quickly and stood diagonally in front of Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan reached out, covered Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's forehead with his palm, and said in a deep voice:

"Four ghosts raise the sedan."

The twelve decrees of Emperor Emperor Fengdu: Four ghosts raise the sedan.

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, you want to leave, is that it?

Come,

come back here and continue carrying the sedan!

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You raised his head, a sharp whistle emitting from his throat; the next moment, his vertical pupils returned to normal, and his aura stabilized!

It worked!

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi threw a punch at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan; this time, he did not hesitate at all!

Four rounds, it's been four rounds!

According to the rules of so many years, the guiding incense could only extend the session by one round, but in the hands of this youth, it had already been extended to four.

Moreover, Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi still remembered that this group of youths had a set of talisman needles in their possession that could extend it by another round—that would be five rounds!

He must die, he absolutely must die!

If such techniques were truly to spread, then they, these Yin gods who were originally high and mighty, might end up becoming mere tools for the spirit mediums!

Yin Meng struck out with both elbows, knocking Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's punch off course.

The fist grazed past Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's ear.

The youth's expression was calm as he began to retreat.

By the time Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi threw his second punch, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng had arrived again and intercepted it.

Both sides began their fourth round of confrontation.

It was just that Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's fourth round was as powerful as the first, while Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng could only passively take the hits from all sides; although he could still hold on, if this continued, Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi would easily be able to break free from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's entanglement.

In fact, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, who had returned to the edge to continue observing the battle, had already noticed Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's killing intent constantly sweeping over him.

He was waiting for an opportunity to break free from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's entanglement and kill him.

"Yin Meng, let me see the results of your special training. Remember, don't use lethal moves; just hold him back."

"Understood."

Yin Meng joined the battle again; her kung fu hadn't actually improved much, but her footwork was more agile than before. She must have hidden some kind of sachet in her sleeve, and as she crushed it, black mist rose continuously.

Ordinary black mist naturally couldn't interfere with a Guan Old Old Old Jiang Shou, but Yin Meng's black mist could cause Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi to fall into a kind of miasma.

It was likely an effect similar to the "Homecoming Net"—invisible and imperceptible, yet truly effective.

With Yin Meng's entanglement, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's pressure was greatly reduced, and the two joined forces to re-establish a balance with Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, meanwhile, focused on observing Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi's state.

The first time on the playground, with normal spirit possession and guiding incense, the possession ended after two rounds, and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was severely injured.

Last time, facing Old Woman Yu's attendant—that old woman—it was two basic rounds plus talisman needles, totaling three rounds; the possession ended, and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was nearly paralyzed, reaching a critical threshold, and only recovered by relying on his family's timely life-extending measures.

Now, it was the fourth round.

And in the first three rounds, the blows Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng dealt you were absolutely no less than those from that old woman last time.

Yet you are still full of vigor.

So, the idea that injuries are suppressed is non-existent.

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi,

it is you who have a way to channel your own power down to maintain the operation of this body, but in the past, you only knew how to squeeze the spirit medium's body without being willing to consume your own!

In other words, in the previous instances, as long as Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi hadn't been so stingy and had channeled a little power down to maintain Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's body, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You wouldn't have had to be so miserable every time.

The spirit medium holds the mindset of a martyr, eliminating demons and defending the Dao, but these Yin gods have their own selfish agendas.

The injuries are borne by the spirit medium, the life is lost by the spirit medium, and the lion's share of the merit is taken by the Yin god; this is fundamentally not a partnership.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan muttered, "I really don't like this way of playing."

The fourth round ended.

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi swayed again, his vertical pupils appearing unfocused once more, but this time, he turned his head to look at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

He seemed to be waiting for the next round.

If this youth gave him one more round, he felt he could change the situation.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan ignored him, walked to the dining table, picked up a bottle of soy milk, opened it with an opener, and took a sip.

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know that you are playing with fire?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan raised the soy milk bottle and toasted him from afar: "Fire? You aren't worthy."

"Thump..."

Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, having failed to wait for talisman needles or other methods, left Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's body; Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's facial makeup fell off, and then he collapsed Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face-down on the ground.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin trotted over and helped him up.

"Hey, hey, hey, A-You, are you still alive?"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You opened his eyes very weakly: "Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin..."

"Pah, you wasted my emotional build-up again."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin cursed while pulling up the other's costume, and seeing that the facial makeup mark on his stomach was still intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You raised his hand with difficulty: "Why... no needle inserted..."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin could not answer this question.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You continued: "Since it wasn't used... can you... give it to me..."

Just like leftovers at a banquet, he wanted to pack them up and take them home.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin looked up at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked over with the soy milk.

Upon seeing Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You became excited, even though his current state wasn't suitable for it, he couldn't control himself.

At this moment, this youth holding soy milk was a god in his eyes!

Counting the unused talisman needles, five times, five times, five times! It was more than double their own traditional time!

If the youth could teach these things to him, and he could take them home to pass on, how many fewer people would have to sacrifice themselves when the Guan Old Old Old Jiang Shou killed evil spirits in the future?

As for sitting in the main seat at the New Year's Eve dinner or having a separate page in the genealogy, those were secondary, because whoever could double the sect's inheritance would have their spirit tablet placed alongside the founder's a hundred years later.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan took out a set of talisman needles and placed them on Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's chest; Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You gripped them tightly.

"Before I leave this time, I will write a Gathering Evil Formation for you. You can look at it while you recover during this period; understand as much as you can."

Hearing this, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You puffed out his chest, and blood bubbled from his mouth.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was startled: "Damn, don't actually get excited to death!"

Fortunately, at this moment, it seemed that Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's hometown had begun to exert its power, and a hint of ruddiness reappeared on his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

They were probably wondering why their A-You had become like this again, but they certainly wouldn't dare to ask.

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, send him to the hospital."

"Alright." Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin carried Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You on his back, "Luckily, the crutches haven't been sold yet."

Fan Shulin sat in the duty room, dazed; he felt dizzy all day today.

"Brother Fan, my dear Brother Fan."

Fan Shulin shook his head and muttered to himself: "It's over, I'm even having auditory hallucinations."

The duty room door was opened, and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin poked his head in.

Fan Shulin sneered: Heh, now I'm having visual hallucinations too.

When Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin revealed most of his body and the person he was carrying on his back appeared, Fan Shulin suddenly hiccuped.

He suddenly realized: Oh no, it would have been better if it really were a hallucination!

"Brother Fan, Fan Que, Fan Tuo?"

Fan Shulin pointed at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "I'm going to call the police!"

"Sure, Brother Fan, I'll help you call; my dad happens to be a policeman."

Hearing this, Fan Shulin dejectedly lowered his arm.

"Brother Fan, look, you've already saved him twice; if you abandon him now, it's equivalent to abandoning two lives!"

"I..."

"Let's hurry, finish his treatment; we're going to go drinking together later, call that divorced friend of yours too."

"You..."

"Brother Fan, let's be quick; the divorced man is still waiting for us to comfort him."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin ran all the way back to school and arrived at the shop.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, and Yin Meng were all here; the shop was closed, and the dormitory was locked.

"Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, the treatment is done; A-You's condition is not serious."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded and handed a black-covered notebook to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "This is the detailed explanation of the Gathering Evil Formation; give it to Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You later."

"Okay, I understand."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin put the notebook into his pocket.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, how is your physical state?"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng answered loudly: "No problem once I'm full."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's injuries were indeed not serious; it was mainly exhaustion.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the blackboard the shop used to mark discounted items, wiped away the original text, and then picked up a piece of chalk to write down three clues.

At the very top was Min'an Town, Huangshan.

Below it branched into three lines:

Wu Pangzi — target — target's parents — visiting graves at hometown — Min'an Town.

Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang — father's birthday — Min'an Town.

Fan Shulin — classmate's divorce — classmate's wife — Min'an Town.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan tapped on the blackboard:

"Now, let's assign tasks.

Xiang Xiang Seeing Yin Meng, go to the hospital ward where Wu Pangzi's target's parents are and conduct an inquiry.

Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, go attend tonight's gathering with Physician Fan.

No matter what methods or means you use, I have only one requirement: push your respective leads to Min'an Town as quickly as possible.

Xiang Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng and I will go directly to Brother Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang's hometown.

The three of us will bring three different perspectives of clues and converge in Min'an Town!"

The three of them replied in unison: "Understood!"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan picked up the blackboard eraser and silently wiped away the content on the board.

A willing fish taking the bait?

You didn't expect this, did you? This time, we aren't even using a fishing rod; we're coming straight into the river to scoop you up!
