Chapter 148

~29 min read 5,788 words

After all, their ancestors were truly wealthy.

When Yin family members go out, they only need to say one sentence: "Ancestor Yin Changsheng."

Next, they will likely get an enthusiastic response: "Please take a seat."

This is also the reason why Li Zhuiyuan can finish reading the travelogues mixed in the Yin family genealogy with relish, even though they seem low-end and boring, because Yin family ancestors can always crash high-end banquets and give you a surprise in the plain description.

However, Li Zhuiyuan discovered something unusual, which was that Yin Meng had her eyes closed, was biting her lip, and her body was trembling constantly, as if she were in great pain.

Before long, Yin Meng opened her eyes, exhaled, and was full of fatigue, as if her spirit had been hollowed out.

What happened to her?

And at this time, they still had to continue moving forward. The phantoms of maids and eunuchs were guiding them in front, as if they were guiding people to their seats.

Li Zhuiyuan and his two companions carried the grass poles to the first row below the main platform, and the maids and eunuchs immediately made a gesture to please sit down.

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng were a bit stunned. They also knew clearly that they were "fakes." If they really put down these grass poles and sat down, wouldn't their true colors be revealed directly?

Seeing that these people were slow to sit down, the nearby maids and eunuchs also gathered around, and the ones further away also slowly turned their heads to look here.

The situation suddenly became tense, and the General's armor on the main platform seemed to turn lightly, about to sweep toward here.

The corpse-driving team that followed Li Zhuiyuan in arrived in the second row behind. The person carrying the pole in front squatted down while turning his body to one side.

"Thump..."

A crisp muffled sound, as if something had slipped down.

Immediately after, the pole-carrier stood up, his pace became much lighter, he turned around, turned in place, changed the front team to the back team, and began to leave.

Li Zhuiyuan had good hearing and couldn't look, so he listened. He simulated a set of actions in his mind.

The one in the corpse-driving team whose feet didn't touch the ground was placed behind the table. He should be kneeling behind him right now.

So, that's what it means.

But what they were carrying was a scarecrow.

However, under the current circumstances, there was no other better way.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Squat down."

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng squatted down immediately. The young man hugged the scarecrow from the grass pole and then sat down behind the table while hugging the scarecrow.

"You follow the other corpse-drivers out, be careful, and don't reveal any flaws."

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng nodded immediately, lifted the grass pole, turned, and left, following the corpse-driving team that had finished unloading people.

"Little brother."

Xiong Shan's voice came, and Li Zhuiyuan turned his head to look.

Just at the table behind him on his left, there was a scarecrow, and a swaddling cloth was placed on the scarecrow. The child was sleeping soundly inside.

"Please."

After leaving this sentence, Xiong Shan and Lihua, learning from the appearance of Runsheng and Tan Wenbin earlier, turned around and followed the leaving team.

When you use a disguise to try to muddle through, unfortunately, the spotlight hits your head, so next, you can only continue to play your role according to the process that should exist here.

Next, if there are no accidents, they and Runsheng will have to pick up other "people," and they are likely to be the kind of existence that "cannot be looked at directly," and the danger coefficient is too high.

Relatively speaking, putting the child here is safer.

Xiong Shan's intention to retreat is obvious, so as long as there is a choice, he will not tear his face and start a conflict here.

Li Zhuiyuan saw Yin Meng sitting in the VIP seat here and Lin Shu You accompanying her below, so the most urgent conflict was gone.

At least for now, it hasn't reached the point where he is forced to flip the table at all costs.

Even if it must be solved in the future, he can continue to feel out the situation, at least to figure out the origin of these guys who "cannot be looked at directly."

With these guys here, before even taking action, he had already lost more than half. If you can't even look at them, how can you fight?

Unable to see Lin Shu You, he could only continue to look at Yin Meng on the main platform.

Very fortunately, Yin Meng was sitting opposite him, which means that from Yin Meng's angle, she only needed to look forward to see him.

But unfortunately, because he was hugging a scarecrow with a Chenzhou talisman stuck to it, Yin Meng had no feeling for him at all.

Highly likely, in her eyes, he was just one of the "plain and unremarkable" ones.

No, not only that, she was also deliberately not raising her head to look in his direction; she also knew that he was "not to be looked at directly."

Lin Shu You had vertical pupils; he could still expect to try to communicate a little, but Yin Meng hadn't even learned how to walk in the underworld until now...

Walking in the underworld?

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly recalled Yin Meng's abnormal behavior earlier. She wouldn't have been walking in the underworld just now, would she?

Walking so painfully and tormentingly, and the time was so short that she was exhausted as if her spirit had been hollowed out.

Ancestors were truly wealthy, but as Yin family members, Yin Meng had been unable to see ghosts for a long time, which was truly shameful to the ancestors.

Now, she finally learned.

When did she learn?

When traveling abroad, having nothing to do in the train sleeper compartment, or when watching Brother Hu and the three of them, she was really too bored, couldn't calculate accounts or check goods, and didn't have Zheng Jiayi to accompany her shopping, so she could only bite the bullet and practice walking in the underworld again, and then, finally, she had a breakthrough?

The corpse-driving team at the bottom of Peach Blossom Village lake is divided into two parts. Every time they come out, one part wanders nearby, like a bus, picking up people who are about to die, or dead people.

Another part will run to further places like the city area, randomly picking a lucky person from the Xie, Wang, and Bu families to come over as lamp oil fuel. This is a revenge act.

There should have been a slip-up in the middle. Maybe it was the artificial canal he created, which is Brother Hu and the three of them, starting to be injected with waves, and the situation began to push forward, or it was some kind of simple coincidence... but in the end, it caused Yin Meng to expose her family background in front of the corpse-driving team.

Then, their group was forcibly invited here as distinguished guests.

Judging from Lin Shu You's performance, this time, the book friend was implicated by Yin Meng.

He wasn't sure he could beat this corpse-driving team, especially since the team was carrying a terrifying guy whose feet didn't touch the ground. It was really impossible to handle, and he was afraid that Yin Meng would be taken away and something would happen. He could only harden his heart and enter the team himself.

Lin Shu You had no choice, because the corpse-driving team was fleeting, and there was no time for him to find a telephone to call for instructions. Moreover, from the standpoint of a new member, leaving Yin Meng to be taken away while he stayed behind was also incomparably awkward.

Currently, he could only guess this much.

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head; the table was empty.

This General is also stingy; he treats people to a banquet but doesn't put out some fruit or cold dishes.

He didn't dare to eat, but at least he could touch and look, passing the time.

Probably, "Jade Plate Delicacies" can only be seen in the state of walking in the underworld after the banquet officially begins.

At this time, the child woke up and began to babble.

He and he were hugging the same style of scarecrow, so they could see each other's "true body."

The child's voice gradually attracted the nearest maid.

From this maid's angle, it should be that this "distinguished guest" was expressing some dissatisfaction and wanted some needs.

To tell the truth, if this child were to cry loudly now, or wave his hands and kick his legs, and roll himself off the scarecrow, then the outcome...

Li Zhuiyuan looked at him and put his index finger to his lips, making a "shh" gesture.

The child saw it, the child smiled, and no longer made a sound. He actually closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Even Li Zhuiyuan, who didn't like small children, felt that this child was truly obedient.

He is worthy of being a child carrying merit; he wouldn't inexplicably make himself die.

Another corpse-driving team came in.

Li Zhuiyuan carefully turned his head. There was a guy behind him who couldn't be looked at, so he had to avoid him, and he had to keep his line of sight low.

He saw Runsheng, who was walking in front, still carrying the grass pole, carrying someone behind him.

Eyes closed, count silently, open eyes again, skip the one in the middle, and he saw Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin turned his head and also saw Li Zhuiyuan. He cleared his throat, wanting to shout, but was afraid that the sound would be too loud and cause a stir. Finally, he could only make a mouth shape:

"So many people... so many, so many..."

Li Zhuiyuan understood.

Runsheng was preparing to unload people under the guidance of the maids and eunuchs.

After all, the two of them were carrying corpses for the first time, and although they squatted down together, when they tilted the pole, they couldn't control the amplitude, causing the one they were carrying to fall off.

"Clatter... clatter..."

Li Zhuiyuan could only distinguish the action by sound, but immediately after, there was a continuous friction sound; the one who fell should have returned to behind the table by himself.

It's okay, the service quality is not up to standard, but there seems to be no problem with customer complaints here.

It seems that Runsheng and Tan Wenbin also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Li Zhuiyuan also saw Xiong Shan and Lihua. The couple was also carrying people. After all, they were a couple, and they cooperated tacitly, like old corpse-drivers, settling the "guest" down steadily.

Before the couple left, they both looked at the son who was placed there.

Round after round, the corpse-driving teams kept bringing "monsters" that "could not be looked at directly" into here.

Accompanied by the increase of these guys, Li Zhuiyuan couldn't even turn his head to look anymore and could only maintain a lowered head state.

There was no way; if he turned his head, it would all be a blind spot of vision.

He only needed to sit here, which was fine. The Runsheng and Tan Wenbin who were transporting people behind him were having a harder and harder time. The guidance of the maids and eunuchs couldn't be looked at at all. Even if he only lowered his head to look at his feet walking, there was someone sitting under him who couldn't be looked at directly.

The two of them simply gave up, and after entering the banquet hall, they simply squatted down and flipped the grass pole, unloading the "master."

Then that "master" would crawl to the position he should go according to the guidance of the maids and eunuchs.

Seeing that they could do this without any influence, Xiong Shan and his wife followed suit.

Next, every time a batch of corpse-drivers sent guests over, Li Zhuiyuan would hear two "ding-dongs" at the door. Others were unloading guests, while their two teams were unloading cement.

I don't know how many trips they made, but finally, they finished transporting.

In the banquet hall, it was full.

The big doors closed, and the banquet was about to begin.

In a crack on the side of the road outside, all the corpse-driving teams were standing neatly inside, carrying poles.

They had completed the mission and were waiting here.

Here, they were basically all dead people. Some were dressed a bit brightly, wearing Daoist robes, while some clothes were tattered, and their bodies were also decayed to a certain extent.

However, the corpse-drivers here were similar to sedan chair carriers. Under normal circumstances, they could pick up people from outside to replenish.

At the entrance of the crack, stood a phantom of a eunuch, with his back to this side, motionless, who should be the supervisor.

Tan Wenbin: "Damn, I'm exhausted. I didn't expect there to be so many masters."

Runsheng nodded.

They had just gone to the place where guests were transported. Although they didn't dare to look at how many people there were, as long as the pole was put down, "people" would immediately crawl up.

Xiong Shan: "After the banquet inside ends, remember, send the others back first, and our two sides' people will be picked up last. After everyone else is gone, we can return to the lake surface through the waterfall behind the banquet hall and leave here."

Tan Wenbin: "But what if other corpse-driving teams go to pick up our people? They are all dead people, real dead-minded."

Xiong Shan: "They are sitting in the innermost part, so they should be picked up from the outside first. We should cooperate well and act according to circumstances; it's not difficult."

Nonsense, you only need to pick up one, we need to pick up three; of course, you can stand and talk without back pain.

Tan Wenbin asked: "By the way, Brother Xiong, are you really not going to care about the affairs here?"

Xiong Shan: "Those three families killed my brothers. The General here has a grudge against those three families. I wish the General could break free and help me destroy those three families."

Tan Wenbin: "If the General breaks free, the impact will be more than just those three families; I fear there will be suffering for all living things."

Lihua: "As long as we can get revenge, what does the suffering of all living things have to do with..."

Xiong Shan: "Lihua!"

Lihua closed her mouth.

Tan Wenbin looked into the distance and saw that the eunuch phantom was far away. Moreover, when they were talking, the eunuch didn't react, so he took out a cigarette box from his pocket and lit a cigarette.

Seeing Xiong Shan looking at him, he also threw one to Xiong Shan.

Smoking a cigarette is nothing excessive; this place is actually a parking lot, and everyone is "parking."

Seeing them smoking, Runsheng also took out incense and just lit it.

The eunuch in the very front turned around and walked toward the back here.

This place can smoke cigarettes, but cannot smoke incense. Runsheng was about to pinch out the incense, but was stopped by Tan Wenbin:

"Don't, give the eunuch one too."

Runsheng inserted the burning incense into the ground.

That eunuch walked over, did nothing, just squatted in front of the incense on the ground, and inhaled forcefully with enjoyment.

Tan Wenbin even teased: "Does the eunuch want a Little Su?"

The eunuch ignored him and continued to bury his head in inhaling the incense.

Tan Wenbin looked at Xiong Shan and asked: "Is this a real ghost? Can it eat incense?"

Xiong Shan replied: "It should be buried here as a companion, becoming the General's minion."

Immediately after, Xiong Shan asked again: "How is it? Is this place evil?"

Tan Wenbin shrugged: "Brother Xiong, if you want to chat, go find my boss. Don't think about getting information out of me, hehe."

Xiong Shan smiled: "I'm just curious about you, especially about your boss."

Tan Wenbin exhaled a smoke ring and said: "Brother Xiong, there is a sentence I shouldn't advise, but if I say it wrong, don't blame me."

"You say."

"Sealing the General and revenge are actually two things; there is no need to force them together. Even if Brother Xiong wants to wash his hands of the business, finish this one before quitting. In any case, get the money first. After this matter is over, you can take revenge later. With Brother Xiong's ability, targeting those three families doesn't necessarily require borrowing the General's power; it's not worth the loss."

"I am very curious, what is your purpose in advising me like this?"

"I am the same as my boss, kind-hearted; I can't stand evil spirits running rampant, and I can't stand the tragedy of corpses everywhere and the world."

"Really?"

"That is of course." Tan Wenbin pulled out another cigarette and threw it to Xiong Shan, "It's all in the cigarette." Actually, Tan Wenbin wanted to make a final effort.

Xiong Shan can admit defeat, but their Brother Xiaoyuan will not admit defeat, so the matter here will eventually have to be solved by them.

If Xiong Shan could change his mind, or say he could be a little more positive, it would also be a great help to their side.

Of course, he knew that he couldn't persuade anyone with just one mouth; the key is that merit moves people's hearts.

The eunuch finished inhaling the incense. He looked intoxicated.

Then, he pointed to Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, and then pointed to the front.

Tan Wenbin: "Is this trying to arrange for us to be the lead team in front?"

The eunuch repeated this action.

But Tan Wenbin had no interest in being the lead team; they wished they could hide at the very back of the corpse-driving team, the less conspicuous the better.

However, this gave him inspiration.

"Runsheng, give me some more incense; I'll have a good chat with the eunuch."

Read every word without error!

After reaching out his right hand to take the incense handed by Runsheng, Tan Wenbin patted the back of his head three times with his left hand, patting until his brain was a bit dizzy. After patting the fourth time, he finally succeeded in walking in the underworld.

The eunuch, who was originally in a semi-transparent state and taciturn, looked even more majestic in the state of walking in the underworld, and his expression was more delicate, arrogant in his reserve.

"Greetings to the eunuch. There is a matter I would like to trouble the eunuch to arrange. After the banquet disperses later, we plan to pick up three people. Those three people must be our responsibility to pick up. Please accommodate us."

The eunuch stood there with a look of disdain.

Tan Wenbin took out the incense: one, two, three, four!

The eunuch nodded.

Tan Wenbin ended the underworld walk and smiled very happily. Damn, it's really opening up ideas, and there are miracles everywhere.

He must tell Brother Xiaoyuan about this move of his and let him include it in the "Zhuiyuan Secret Scroll."

At this time, Tan Wenbin discovered the eunuch looking at Xiong Shan.

Binbin also turned his head to look at Xiong Shan and found that although Xiong Shan was still looking at himself, there was gray and white flowing in his eyes.

This guy is also walking in the underworld. I'm fucked; he just eavesdropped on his conversation with the eunuch.

Xiong Shan stretched out his hand and said to his wife: "Lihua, get me some incense."

Lihua pulled a handful of incense from the bundle and handed it to her husband.

But who knew, the eunuch stepped back a few steps and ignored Xiong Shan at all, just continuing to stare at Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin squatted down immediately and lit the four sticks of incense on the ground in order.

This time, the eunuch simply lay on the ground and began to inhale in big gulps, happy like a wriggling maggot.

Xiong Shan looked at the large handful of incense in his hand, then looked at the simple four sticks on the ground, and asked: "What kind of incense is in your hand?"

When the eunuch squatted down to inhale the incense earlier, Xiong Shan was suspicious. After his own failed attempt at bribery, he was sure that the incense in the other party's hand was not simple.

Liu Laotai's family doesn't have many people, and life is quite simple, but the cups the old lady smashed when she was angry were treasures in the eyes of collectors, and the "ration incense" Liu Yi made for Runsheng could truly make ghosts push millstones.

This is the foundation; there is no deliberate showing off, but what flows out inadvertently from the fingernail gaps is enough to make people outside fanatically greedy.

Xiong Shan continued: "Can you lend me two sticks of incense? I owe you a favor."

Tan Wenbin suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

Owe a favor, owe a favor, your family's favors are wholesale, right? Since we met, we've owed three already.

"Easy to say, easy to say. I'll help you communicate with the eunuch; leave it to me."

"Many thanks."

At this time, white lanterns flew up like fireflies, illuminating this area brightly.

Gusts of cold wind blew from the banquet hall, mixed with ghost wails and wolf howls that made one's scalp tingle.

Tan Wenbin, who had gone to the underworld again to help Xiong Shan communicate, saw countless big red lanterns hanging high, and there were intense cheers and applause from the banquet hall, a scene of noise and bustle.

The banquet had begun.

When the armor on the head seat gradually stood up, the temperature in the banquet hall began to drop rapidly, a feeling of falling into an ice cellar in the literal sense.

Li Zhuiyuan deliberately glanced at the child at the table next door and found that the child was still sleeping soundly.

It seems that after this, he needs to borrow the swaddling clothes and study the material carefully.

Li Zhuiyuan activated the underworld walk.

Then, he discovered that after he walked in the underworld, he could still see the child.

This shows that this child... is also walking in the underworld.

The child's spiritual perception is actually sensitive to this degree.

But Li Zhuiyuan didn't think this counted as any "child prodigy"; on the contrary, he felt sad for this child.

He should have followed his parents to walk the rivers and lakes after birth, being infected by those evil spirits, which stimulated his spiritual perception.

This also means that even if he is still young and cannot speak, his future path has been determined.

He doesn't even have the power to be an ordinary person, because an ordinary person in a state of being able to see ghosts at any time cannot live normally at all.

Li Zhuiyuan moved his gaze to the main platform.

That Qin family Dragon King is naturally not there; that is really just a sculpture.

And Yin Meng is not on the platform either.

However, Li Zhuiyuan saw the General.

He was as thin as a dried corpse. Although that set of armor was propped up by him, it couldn't be driven at all. He was more like a white macaque hiding in an ill-fitting armor to seek comfort and security.

His whole body radiated an aura of decay and decline. He was already... running out of time.

Compared to the one under the peach tree at home who was shouting to suppress and kill himself and wait for death, he could be called spirited!

Triple Heaven suppression start, finally borrowed the opportunity to want to turn over, but encountered the joint suppression of the Dragon King and the four families of the Old Heaven Gate. During the late Qing Dynasty, taking advantage of the chaos of the Heavenly Machine, he wanted to make one last fight, but was pressed back by the descendants of the four families of the Old Heaven Gate.

The General is already exhausted.

But this is what makes Li Zhuiyuan puzzled. The General has already reached this point, so who are these existences that cannot be looked at directly, and who gave them this power?

Things seem to be completely different from what he originally expected.

No wonder Xiong Shan said that when he came down last time, he had a chance to reseal the General.

Yes, such a General, as long as the timing is grasped well, like his current distance from him, he could also try to seal him.

But the problem is, the General is not the key here.

Moreover, that corpse-driving Daoist priest from the Niu Daojie family that he saw in A Li's dream didn't appear either.

The General raised his wine glass with difficulty toward the direction where Yin Meng was sitting.

Finally, Yin Meng succeeded in walking in the underworld again.

She appeared at the wine table with a pale face, her chest heaving, looking like she had been forced onto the stage.

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and saw that there were indeed exquisite wine and dishes on his table, so he picked up a cup of wine that didn't exist in reality and played with it in his hand.

The General looked at Yin Meng with gentleness, waiting to toast with her.

Yin Meng used a posture even more difficult than the General's, and after great effort, raised the wine glass in front of her and completed the virtual clinking.

The General was satisfied and drank a cup of wine.

In the crowd sitting below, a collective shout came:

"Respect to the Great Emperor of Fengdu!"

The wine glass in Yin Meng's hand disappeared before it reached her mouth; she couldn't maintain it for even a moment longer.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for Yin Meng inheriting Liu Yi's inheritance in the use of poison, this Yin family would truly have fallen too disgracefully.

No matter how the Yin family ancestors were in the past, they could at least crash a banquet on the table. Now, even sitting at the table has become so difficult.

The General was not angry; on the contrary, he seemed to smile, and his eyes also revealed reminiscence.

The maid beside him poured wine, and the General raised his wine glass again, toasting to the other side, that is, the sculpture.

There was no trace of hatred in the General's eyes, only appreciation and recognition.

Yin Meng being able to sit in that position purely depends on Yin Changsheng's face. In fact, on this main platform, the only one who can sit on equal footing with the General is this Qin family Dragon King.

Because, this is the man who once defeated him.

Below, a collective shout louder than before came:

"Respect to the Qin Family Dragon King!" 【148-22

"I will be afraid."

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you continue to speak, are you not afraid of affecting your own spirit?"

"It doesn't matter. Seeing you, and then looking at my son, I feel there is hope. Hehe, I don't mean to take advantage of you, but when I was healing just now and looking at him on my knee, I was really thinking in my mind whether I should step down."

"Cultivate him well, and in the future, let him compete in these rivers and lakes."

"After this wave is finished,"

"I will..."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand: "It is best not to say such things; it is inauspicious."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiong Shan let out a laugh.

At this time, in multiple directions in the distance, rows of black shadows appeared.

The corpse-driving team had returned.

"Lihua!" Xiong Shan called his wife.

"I will do it this time, Brother Runsheng."

Runsheng immediately moved out the small table, and Li Zhuiyuan quickly completed the setup.

Xiong Shan watched the young man's movements seriously.

The previous "affectionate and sincere reflections" had passed, so let them pass; no one should take them too seriously.

What truly maintains and ensures the cooperative relationship between the two sides is strength.

Li Zhuiyuan ignited the candles directly with karmic fire this time; the two candles, one red and one white, burned with candle flames that flickered with black light.

Since he didn't believe he knew nothing other than formations, he would help him verify it.

Xiong Shan nodded, licked his lips, and said: "A taste of pure righteous path."

The burned yellow paper began to be distributed, one for each person.

After several times in a row, everyone had become somewhat accustomed to it.

Xiong Shan: "I snuck into their team at this time last night. You must follow their rhythm closely; you cannot be chaotic."

"Most importantly, you cannot look at the one in the middle."

"Mm."

"You are not tall enough; you only need to hold onto one person's clothes and walk, and that will be enough."

"Thank you, you are truly meticulous."

Those teams gathered here from all directions; when they were not so close, there was no need to rush to lower one's head, and one could take a look.

Of course, the one in the middle whose feet did not touch the ground could never be seen clearly.

When they returned, the number of people in each team had obviously increased.

And it should be that they "picked up" people halfway, or the number and location of the inns they visited were different. In short, the teams when returning were not as compact as when they went out during the day; there was a distance of varying lengths between each team.

The first team, four people.

No wonder they returned so quickly and were ranked first; they only picked up one person.

It was a woman; she had her eyes closed, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were dirty and torn. This image was very much like the fool he had encountered in Min'an Town.

When this team approached, everyone lowered their heads; after they entered the water, everyone raised their heads again and looked at the second team.

The second team had five people, an old man with white hair and a middle-aged man with a thin figure and sunken eye sockets; they also had their eyes closed.

Li Zhuiyuan discovered a pattern: among the people picked up, it seemed they were originally meant to be dead.

So, what he experienced last night was a special case?

Because he, the woman, and those seven Wang family members were all external intruders?

It is also possible that the identity of the Wang family members would cause special sensitivity?

The two corpse-driving teams had already walked into the lake and disappeared.

But when the third corpse-driving team appeared in the distance and could be viewed from afar, the situation suddenly became different.

The third team, four people.

It stands to reason that since they picked up fewer people, they should be ranked earlier. Could it be because their route was the longest?

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Xiong Shan beside him and found that the other party also had a look of doubt.

Xiong Shan had experience, so it shouldn't be a route problem, but a real deviation.

When the third team got closer, Li Zhuiyuan discovered that the only one picked up was a woman.

She was wearing light blue silk pajamas, cloth slippers, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders, as if she had just been called up from bed.

Most importantly, there was a mole under her lip.

This woman was the one who received them at the antique market that day; it was she who provided him with the preliminary information about the Niu Daojie family.

But she should be in the city now; how could she be here?

This shouldn't be her coming here voluntarily, because if she came voluntarily, she wouldn't be in this attire.

Li Zhuiyuan remembered she once said that her husband suddenly disappeared during the first lunar month five years ago. Could it be that her husband disappeared in this way back then? Is she just retracing the old path her husband once took?

So, this third corpse-driving team actually went to the city?

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng also looked at each other; they also knew that woman.

When the third team passed here and was about to start circling, everyone lowered their heads one after another.

The woman had a lingering scent of incense that did not dissipate after circling around.

After this team entered the water, Li Zhuiyuan said: "She is a Wang family member."

Hearing this, Xiong Shan frowned.

The fourth team arrived, and everyone looked up.

Also four people, meaning they still only brought back one.

This was an old woman who lived in luxury, dressed in magnificent attire, and covered in jewelry and jade accessories.

Xiong Shan: "This is the old lady of the Bu family. She just finished her big birthday a while ago, and I even went to crash the banquet."

The fifth team, still four people, brought back a young man wearing a white vest, with extremely obvious indentations on his arms, and even more muscular calves.

This point was very similar to the seven Wang family members seen before. Corpse-drivers need to practice clamping bamboo poles with their arms and also need to practice kicking techniques; these two places will have extremely obvious lines because of deliberate training.

One Wang family member, one Bu family member, then if there were no accidents, this young man had obvious corpse-driving characteristics; I fear he must be surnamed Xie?

So, these three corpse-driving teams actually went to the other three families of the Old Heaven Gate and picked up one from each?

The sixth team was a bit far away, and currently, only the black shadows in the distance could be seen.

Xiong Shan: "Guess, why does the General want to catch these three families?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Revenge."

Besides revenge, he couldn't think of a second reason. It couldn't be that they were picked up to the bottom of the water to be treated to a meal?
