Chapter 117

"Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, let's eat and rest."

"Alright."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng sat down on a long, rectangular stone. Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng opened his hiking backpack, took out food and drink, set them down in front of them, and then beckoned to the fool in front of them, calling out:

"Come eat!"

The fool turned his head, laughing happily as he imitated Xiao Xiao Yingying, running left and right, finally settling down to "nest" opposite Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and sitting there.

Along the way, the fool had been very happy and excited, singing and dancing non-stop, not feeling tired in the slightest.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng lit a "cigar," then took out some compressed biscuits and ate them together.

The fool watched Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng eat with such relish and was so curious that he actually stared until he started drooling.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng handed the cigar in his hand to him and asked, "Want a puff?"

The fool took it and, imitating Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, bit down on the unlit end. After chewing twice, his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face turned bitter, and he stopped smiling.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

The fool spat and dry-heaved at the same time.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng handed him a bottle of water. The fool took it, drank a mouthful, tilted his head back, and began to rinse his mouth, but then forgot to spit it out and swallowed it instead.

This made his expression even more painful.

However, he had his own way of dealing with it; he took some candy from his pocket, peeled two pieces, and put them in his mouth, and a sweet smile appeared once again.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng suddenly felt sentimental and asked, "Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, if I hadn't been picked up by my grandfather back then, would I also have become a village guardian like him?"

In truth, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had long suspected the truth of Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's origins, but firstly, Old Man Shan intended to take that secret to his grave, and secondly, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan felt that seeking the truth of this secret was as meaningless as studying chess just to beat A Li.

"Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, you wouldn't become a village guardian." Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan took a sip of water. "You would become the boss of your village."

"Ah..." Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed at these words.

Seeing this, the fool also imitated Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, scratching his own bird's nest of hair.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes and began to doze off. It was already afternoon; he estimated that after walking a bit further, they would soon reach Zhengmen Village. After all, it was a village under the jurisdiction of Minan Town, so even if the ruins were far, it wouldn't be too exaggerated.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng focused on eating. He knew that this rest was a supply time Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan had specifically set aside for him, so he had to fill his stomach quickly.

Seeing Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng eating so much and so fast, as if it were a competition, the fool also kept stuffing food into his mouth.

Finally, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng was full, and the fool's belly was round as a ball, sitting on the ground, propped up.

But when he saw Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and the other man pack up and stand up, he immediately scrambled up to continue leading the way, though this time he was no longer jumping around.

As they continued forward, mountain mist appeared ahead, and the fool led the two of them into it.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng noticed that the fool seemed to be walking in circles in the mist, not in a straight line, but seeing that Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan said nothing, he didn't ask.

As they walked, the sound of gurgling water came from ahead. Although visibility was very low at the moment, they could still see a river stretching across in front of them.

The fool stepped into the river; it wasn't deep, only reaching the fool's chest.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng crouched down, carried Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan on his back, then held both of their bags over his head and followed the fool across the river.

But as they waded, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng noticed the fool ahead bury his head in the river, his body leaning forward, floating there motionless like a corpse.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stopped, and Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's voice came from beside his ear:

"Don't worry about him, keep moving forward."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng continued forward.

The river wasn't very wide, and they soon reached the shore. The mist here became less dense. Standing on the bank and looking into the river, the fool's floating figure appeared and disappeared in the mist.

In another direction was a river valley, where it seemed one could hear the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking.

That must be Zhengmen Village.

However, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had no intention of going to explore or check it out early; instead, he turned his head and said to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng:

"Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, take out the sleeping bag."

"Alright."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng took out a sleeping bag and spread it on the ground. Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan crawled inside and closed his eyes.

But just as Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng needed to maintain a sense of fullness, he also had to seize the time to make himself as energetic as possible.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng sat down beside Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, the Yellow River Shovel on his knees, with candy, incense, and compressed biscuits laid out in front of him. While constantly looking around, he also fed himself some food.

The fool just kept floating in the river like that, not moving at all.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng saw vague lights flickering and swaying above the river valley; these weren't electric lights, but looked like campfires.

"Splash... splash..."

Movement came from the river.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng grabbed the Yellow River Shovel, stood up, and whispered, "Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes from his sleep, turned over in the sleeping bag, and looked at the river surface. Not only was he in no hurry to get up, but he closed his eyes again instead.

The mist did not dissipate with the arrival of night, but rather draped another thick layer of gauze over the night curtain.

The sound of splashing water grew closer, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng shone his flashlight.

Suddenly, he saw the fool, who had been floating there motionless for a long time, disappear into the mist.

Then, the fool appeared again; he was still floating, but this time there were two people and a bag behind him.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng recognized one of them: it was Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan blinked and came out of the sleeping bag: "Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, go and receive them."

"Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, be careful on the shore."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng entered the river, the flashlight's lanyard in his mouth. After reaching the middle of the river, he saw the fool, who had been pulling the two people along in front, slowly sink down.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng instinctively wanted to pull him, but the words Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan had said earlier echoed in his mind: "Don't worry about him."

Pursing his lips, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng pulled Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, the woman, and the hiking bag to his side and brought them back to this side of the shore.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan first walked to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's side and crouched down. Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was still unconscious, his veins bulging all over his body, and there were many burn marks. His Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, which could once be called handsome and uninhibited, now looked somewhat ferocious.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan flipped Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's eyelids and checked other details.

"Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, he..."

"The evil aura has entered his body too deeply; we must draw out the poison. Give me the gray jar from the bag."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng immediately took out the jar, twisted off the lid, and handed it to the boy.

The jar contained incense ash, which could be bought at temples. Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had also mixed in quite a bit of A Li's discarded handicraft materials—specifically, the ancestral tablet from the Qin Liu family, which was top-grade Thunder-Struck Wood.

Grabbing a handful of incense ash and rubbing it on his hands, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan began to massage Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Soon, black-purple colors quickly emerged; everywhere the incense ash was applied on his body, it was like this.

Back when Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was possessed by the Little Huang Ying, this was the method Old Man Liu used to draw out the poison and remove the possession.

As he continued to add ash and massage, the black-purple color gradually overflowed from the skin, appearing as dense, bloody beads, and many places were still bubbling.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stood up, let out a breath, and said to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, "Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, focus your squeezing and massage on the places that are bubbling."

"You got it."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng took Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's place. He had strong hands and wider palms, and soon, small jets of blood were spurting from Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin's body.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked over to Zeng Zeng Yinyin's side. The woman's head had been bandaged, and she seemed to still be unconscious.

"You're awake, stop pretending."

Zeng Zeng Yinyin didn't move a muscle.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't bother with her anymore. The woman's hands and feet were bound using the method corpse-salvagers used to tie up "dead-sinkers." There was no point in her pretending to be unconscious, because she couldn't break free from this kind of knot at all.

Over there, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, who was still squeezing out blood, asked, "Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, who is she?"

"Don't know, either surnamed Zheng or surnamed Zeng. Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin did better this time than I expected."

"Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin seems to be waking up."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked over; the thick black-purple color on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body had disappeared, and his breathing had become steady and strong.

However, fresh blood began to flow from the back of Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's neck, gradually staining the ground beneath him red.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng turned Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body over. There was a wound there that was both old and new. Just as he was preparing to bandage it, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan spoke up:

"No rush, Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, Yin Meng and... they are here."

He had done the treatment, but the more detailed cleaning still required Yin Meng.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stood up: "I'll go receive them."

"No need, they are walking themselves." Thick mist could block vision, but it couldn't block hearing.

The fool's figure appeared again, Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face down, motionless in the water.

Just as Yin Meng and Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi were preparing to help him, they heard a voice from the shore:

"Don't worry about him, you guys come over."

Yin Meng immediately took Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi's hand and waded to the shore.

As soon as they stepped onto the shore, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan saw the fool, who had been floating there, slowly straighten his body.

He tilted his head and looked at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan on the shore from the water.

The two pairs of eyes were separated by the mist, yet both could keenly perceive each other.

The fool raised his hands and waved. At this moment, he seemed very quiet.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan also raised his hand and waved back in response.

The fool had led the way, and now he was going back.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't ask him to stay, nor did he hope for him to accompany the three of them into Zhengmen Village, because he had already done enough.

Everyone has their own specialty; what came next was up to their side.

Once the matters here were resolved, when they went back, they could stay in Minan Town for another two days; at that time, he could have a good chat with the fool again.

He might not be a fool anymore, though, of course, he might also be even more of a fool.

It is just that it is no longer fashionable to build ancestral halls and temples nowadays; in fact, the original objects of worship in many small, unique local temples across the country were people with spiritual connections, just like the Fool.

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge." Yin Meng pulled Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi over to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, waiting to receive criticism.

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan... Ge?" A smile appeared on Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face; she thought this young man looked so good, and she really wanted to hug him and touch his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan asked Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi: "What is your surname?"

"My surname is Zheng, my name is Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi. Ah, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, your surname wouldn't be Li, and your name Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, would it?"

"I am." That woman brought by Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, who is still pretending to be unconscious, should be surnamed Zeng.

"Aha, I've heard our Fatty mention you, provincial top scholar, a prodigy."

After a simple exchange, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan confirmed that Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi was the kind of innocent, lively person who loved life; she was like a little sun, able to sincerely provide all kinds of emotional value to those around her.

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, I'll have her..."

Before Yin Meng could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan. Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan gave her a smile; although it was a bit forced and brief, it was already his best effort.

"Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng, you did very well this time."

Yin Meng thought that water had gotten into her ears when she just crossed the river, causing auditory hallucinations.

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge?"

"Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin has been poisoned by evil spirits. I just cleaned him up roughly; you go and do the finishing touches, try to help him recover quickly."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan waved at Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi, signaling her to follow him.

The young man himself had come with Xue Ma's blood, but he hadn't held much hope for his two partners.

Firstly, they had to Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face their own special situations; secondly, they might not have been able to obtain this information at all.

But they brought him a surprise.

The Big Fish's goal was to leave the three families without descendants, cutting off the three families' blood bowls. Here, he was equivalent to having gathered the necessary conditions again, and he could use the existing seal system to supplement the seal on that Dead-Revenant in Zhengmen Village.

Although Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan wanted to completely suppress and kill it, he would not refuse a lower-limit guarantee delivered to his hands.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan took the tools out of his bag and said: "I'll take a little of your blood to use."

Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi didn't understand, but she still stretched out her hand: "Here, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan... Ge."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded and began to draw blood.

Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi was very obedient.

However, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder if Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi's obedience had been influenced by something.

For example, in the past, when his own great-grandfather encountered danger, he would be influenced by good fortune and inexplicably act foolishly.

When Old Old Old Jiang Shui pushed the Dead-Revenant toward him, were those flower-like splashes purely natural blooms or deliberate embellishments?

Three lines, leading straight here.

Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang's line, needless to say, if Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang Ge speaks up or something happens, he would never ignore it. But Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin went to the infirmary again and again behind Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng or Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's back, and every time Physician Fan performed surgery; Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's silver-tongued persuasion must have played a part, but was there also a push from Old Old Old Jiang Shui?

Dazed, wanting to refuse, yet muddle-headedly accepting; when thinking about it afterward, he himself felt it was very absurd.

As for Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi, because Wu Pangzi's image was too vivid, he had predicted very early on that she would be the main trigger point for this line.

Then, did her current sense of propriety and enthusiastic, obedient nature also have an amplification from Old Old Old Jiang Shui?

Fate is an invisible hand. Many people have had this question in their hearts: if they had delayed a few seconds or yawned a few more times while crossing the road today, would their life trajectory have caused a chain reaction?

Perhaps every sudden sneeze of yours can also involve Heaven's Will.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan secretly noted it down. After this incident ended, he would have to let Yin Meng and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin conduct a period of contact investigation on Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi and Fan Shulin to see if some of their characteristics would change.

This was very important to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, helping him further grasp the intentions of the question-setter.

He even suspected that every time he actively picked a Dead-Revenant out from A Li, every time a question was drawn, dark undercurrents surged beneath Old Old Old Jiang Shui, quickly revising everything before it surfaced.

The village was right ahead. After taking Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi's blood, there was no need to make it into ink paste for preservation.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the side of Zeng Yin'in, squatted down, used another syringe, inserted it into her arm, and drew fresh blood.

The original text is watching!

She was actually still pretending to be unconscious, stupidly persistent.

Often, such people easily pit their own side; they will explain things away for themselves while doing stupid things, feeling self-satisfied.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin woke up. Yin Meng grabbed a large handful of earthworms, sucking blood from the wound on the back of his neck, and then the detached earthworms all rotted and turned into blood mud.

"Ah..." Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin groaned halfway, his gaze began to wander, and when he saw Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge walking toward here, he felt relieved and continued to groan the remaining half.

Everyone rested on the spot while sharing their perspective experiences.

Finally, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan made a summary.

After listening, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin laughed: "Hahaha, that fish still wanted to trick me, borrowing a knife to kill someone. I'm not stupid; I insisted on bringing that woman over."

Yin Meng felt very fortunate in her heart; if she hadn't brought Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi, she would have made a mistake instead.

However, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan also admitted that even if she hadn't been brought over, it would have been normal. Immediately after, the young man added: "Next time you encounter a similar situation, remember to clean up the battlefield, because key clues are very likely hidden within it."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng said: "If we had come a few days late, we wouldn't have made it in time."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "This is the advantage of rushing into the exam room first; the previous batch of examinees' draft paper hadn't even been cleaned up yet."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was more concerned about his new attempt this time. He said full of expectation: "Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, can I continue to use that method in the future?"

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin Ge, have you forgotten when you just fainted?"

"Uh, isn't that because Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge and Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng are here."

"Even if you are cleaned up in time, your body will have sequelae. When you get older..."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin said in surprise: "I can actually live until I'm old? I can actually have a later life?"

"It's better not to use it. Moreover, it's not every time that there happens to be a suitable evil spirit around you for you to use."

Wandering ghosts are ultimately not like the Lord Lord Yin Shen of Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You; whether in terms of grade gap or side effects, the gap is too large.

"That, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge, can I catch one in advance and carry it with me?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's expression was desolate. He now somewhat understood Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's obsession and madness. When you have possessed that kind of power and experienced that kind of feeling, you really cannot lose it or let it go.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan said: "We'll see. Let's see if I can improve the method for you; you can't act so recklessly again."

"Ah?" Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin became excited, "My Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge is worthy of being my Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge!"

The "Restraining Spirits and Sending Generals" in the "Twelve Dharma Decrees of Emperor Emperor Fengdu" can be modified again;

The "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra" and the spirit-invoking process of the Official Generals can also be copied and repaired;

Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's talisman paper outline can also have a few more unpopular talisman papers selected, and changes can be made on this basis.

With three top-tier secret manuals as references, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan felt that he could tailor an "Evil-Controlling"... no, an Evil-Controlling Art for Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Of course, side effects are unavoidable. Since ancient times, those who control gods and ghosts have rarely had a good end.

Even for the Official Generals, it is the same. Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's grandfather being able to live until his grandson reached adulthood was already considered a long life in their line of work. Those Yin Gods would not really care about the spirit medium's body.

But compared to the negative effects on the body and fate, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was more worried about another thing:

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin Ge, you have to be mentally prepared; controlling ghosts will change your personality."

The one under the peach tree in the old home learned Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's black-skinned book and turned himself into a Dead-Revenant; not only did his personality change, but his species also changed.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin asked: "Uh... in what direction will my personality change?"

"It will be more arrogant and extreme."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin demonstrated: "Is it like this, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge? Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Jie-Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Jie-Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Jie-Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Jie-Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Jie-Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Jie?"

"That's the flavor."

"It's fine, it actually fits my position quite well."

The old lady had already taught him; as the one shouting before the Dragon King's boat, one has to pretend to the death.

In fact, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had an even bolder idea in his heart.

Is there any way to get the White Crane Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi down, prevent Him from going back, and make Him work for him when needed?

Those wandering ghosts are ultimately not presentable.

After resting, except for Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin who was still a bit weak, everyone else had adjusted to their best state.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Yin Meng and then looked at Zeng Yin'in.

Yin Meng understood, took out a leather whip, and lashed it at Zeng Yin'in.

"Snap!"

"Ah!"

Zeng Yin'in let out a scream; she couldn't keep pretending anymore.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stepped forward and carried her on his shoulder. The team of six walked toward the river valley.

Between the hillsides on both sides, a piece of darkness appeared; the flashlight could only illuminate a wooden building ahead.

The light that could be seen when far away earlier could not be seen after walking closer.

A stone table and a stone tablet stood side by side in the central area.

On the stone table were a stone bowl and a stone plate connected to it, and on the stone tablet were vigorous and powerful carved characters.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the stone tablet. The carvings were old and eroded by time, making them somewhat blurry, but Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had read books that were harder to understand, so recognizing this was not difficult.

"I, the Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi, use my physical body to set up a tablet and seal this place. My three disciples, Zeng, Zheng, and Xue, reside here, and their descendants will offer blood food in the year of Jiazi to continue the Great Array.

If the evil spirits are not destroyed, we will not retreat; for generations, protect my Righteous Dao."

Sealing with the physical body means using oneself as the core of the array, fighting the evil thing to the death.

Who exactly this Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi was, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not know; he had not read any records about him.

Throughout history, few people have been able to make it into history books, and this Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi not only sealed himself here but also ordered his three disciples to spread their branches and leaves here to maintain the suppression for generations. It is very likely that he had not yet achieved fame before hiding here.

Of course, it is also possible that he had achieved fame, but because his disciples and descendants were all bound here, there were no "powerful clans" or disciples to help him promote and shout, so naturally, his reputation was not prominent.

But why would the evil spirit suppressed by Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi appear in A Li's dream?

Could it be that the secular surname under Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi's Daoist name is Qin or Liu?

Yet, for an outstanding figure of the Qin or Liu family to join another sect is simply even more shocking and bewildering than when Grandpa Qin and Grandma Liu married back in the day.

"Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, set the offering table."

"You got it!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng began to clear the thick dust off the stone table; with a forceful blow and a wipe, he discovered a circular protrusion in the very center of the stone table.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin asked in confusion, "Why is this bowl turned upside down?"

As he spoke, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin wanted to reach out and touch it.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't touch it."

"Huh?"

"That is the skull of Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi."

"Head?" Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin took two steps back, and the complexions of the others around him changed accordingly; this meant that Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi himself was inside this stone table.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Light the candles, set the offerings, and burn the paper."

Yin Meng went to light the candles, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng set out the offerings, and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin went to burn the paper.

After everything was prepared, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stood before the stone table and arranged the blood bowls, made from the fresh blood of the descendants of the Xue, Zheng, and Zeng families, around the skull.

Immediately after, he opened the table and performed the ritual.

The stone table began to vibrate slightly, and the fresh blood in the bowls gradually boiled, then dripped down along the rims of the bowls, finally merging into the skull; the skull immediately radiated a special crystalline luster.

Following that, a wind blew in from outside, growing stronger and stronger, carrying with it the darkness ahead as it began to retreat, revealing a complete bungalow; the house was wide, the courtyard was large, and it did not look like a traditional residential dwelling.

Further back, a fleeting ray of rosy light appeared, dispelling a large expanse of haze and confusion, and the demonic atmosphere was silenced.

However, what made Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan feel slightly surprised was that the effect of this formation seemed somewhat weak; "suppression and killing," as the name implies, requires both suppression and grinding destruction.

This formation still had strength to spare in terms of suppression, but in terms of grinding destruction, it clearly showed a lack of capability.

It is possible that Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Yu Yu Yu Xuzi's own attainments in formations were not particularly high, or it is possible that this formation lacked later maintenance, causing many of its functions to be weakened or simply castrated.

After all, among the Xue, Zheng, and Zeng families at present, only the Zeng family still retains a little bit of means, while the other two families are already no different from ordinary households.

This is a case where the level of the descendants has plummeted to the point where they don't even have the ability to perform daily maintenance.

This is actually a bit like the Yin family.

As a descendant of Yin Yin Changsheng, Yin Meng still hasn't learned to walk the path of Yin to this day, and the Twelve Decrees of Emperor Emperor Fengdu have degenerated into the Twelve Sects of the Yin family; by now, she can't even learn the sects.

Fortunately, Yin Meng has had other talents developed; that method of directly poisoning dirty things to death is a path Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had never even imagined.

With the seal reinforced, this formation can continue to hold for another sixty years.

If, after going in later, he finds that he really cannot kill that big fish, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan will have to retreat, go to Min'an Town or the county seat to purchase materials, and then spend a great deal of time and energy to repair and perfect this formation.

Yes, he still has to go in.

After all, since he is already here.

Zeng Zeng Yinyin and Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi were left outside; Zeng Zeng Yinyin was bundled up another layer by Yin Meng on top of the original foundation, wrapped so tightly that it was absolutely impossible for any accidents to occur.

He left some clean water and food for Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Jiayi and instructed her that if they were not seen coming out from inside after two days, she should not worry about Zeng Zeng Yinyin, return the way she came, and if she got lost after crossing that river, she should keep shouting "Fool."

The reason why Zeng Zeng Yinyin is still being kept is that she is the only remaining bloodline of the Zeng family, and he will need the blood of the three families as a primer when he repairs the formation in the future.

The four of them passed through the stone tablet and stone table, walking inward.

Arriving in front of the house at the very front, they saw a door plaque hanging above it: Yizhuang.

No wonder its shape was so strange when looking at it from the outside earlier.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin asked in confusion: "Hey, why build an Yizhuang at the entrance of the village?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "We might have entered from the end of the village."

The Yizhuang was clearly a bit far from the next residential house, and the road at the entrance of the Yizhuang, which is where the four of them are currently located, is also a small path branching upward from the village's main road.

Everything here was stained with a layer of decaying aura, but the decay did not continue indefinitely; instead, it fell into a state of stillness when it reached a certain degree.

This might be the effect of the formation, or it might be the influence of the dead.

On the Yizhuang courtyard, six decaying coffins were placed.

"Brother Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, open the coffins and take a look."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stepped forward with a Yellow River shovel and quickly pried open the first coffin; there was no one inside, but there was a backpack, a trekking pole, and a bottle of water.

"Open them all."

Yin Meng and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin also joined in opening the coffins; there were six coffins in total, and there were no corpses inside, only backpacks, some tools, folded clothes, and some unopened food and water.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "It seems that the expedition team composed of those six college students really entered here."

Yin Meng: "Then where are their corpses?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin asked in confusion: "It doesn't necessarily mean they are dead; the scene in these coffins is so much like the beds in a college dormitory. I like to put these things on my bed for convenience when I sleep at night."

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

From within the village ahead, the sound of a bell came.

All four of them looked in the direction of the sound; because the Yizhuang was located at a high point at the end of the village, they could see a row of young men and Wo Sect in modern clothing walking in a line on the main street.

Each person held a lantern in their right hand, and their left hands were all resting on the shoulders of the person in front, their steps in unison.

Suddenly, they stopped.

The next moment,

The six of them turned their heads in unison, gazing toward the Yizhuang side, their hands holding the lanterns shaking back and forth incessantly.

They,

were issuing an invitation.

My schedule has been blown up recently, which has led to my physical state not being very good today; it just so happens that the plot below needs to be reorganized, so that's all for today. I will strive to write more tomorrow, hugging everyone tight!
