Chapter 191
Li Zhuiyuan took a piece of paper from his pocket, tore it in half, took half a sheet, rolled it up, and plugged his nosebleed.
His practical consumption tonight wasn't large, and could even be said to be very low.
Controlling those ceramic dolls underground wasn't difficult, because Xu Yijin's mastery of them wasn't deep, and the ceramic dolls just had a larger quantity, but compared to the generals and Gu children he had controlled in the past, they weren't on the same level at all.
As for controlling this formation, it could be called incredible in the eyes of outsiders, but here in Li Zhuiyuan's case, it could only be called a routine operation.
After the battle started, Xu Yijin's attention was entirely on the battle situation, and she didn't notice the changes happening underground at all, or rather, she didn't think there would be any changes in the formation that had already been arranged.
Li Zhuiyuan did these two things throughout the process.
If one had to pick out a little more, it was nothing more than spending some energy on observing and controlling the battle situation, but these didn't count for much.
The practical consumption wasn't high, but the total consumption was very large, because most of the consumption was wasted on preheating.
Like a tractor, after starting, it kept roaring there, but it didn't actually drive much distance.
This was the drawback of value overflow.
Putting all the cards he could use, including himself, on the table and playing them out at the first moment, as long as he won, there would inevitably be extravagance and waste.
But facing an opponent like Xu Yijin, and with killing her as the ultimate goal, he couldn't hold back.
Sometimes, calculating small accounts would lead to big losses.
The four corpses trapped by Tan Wenbin all collapsed after Xu Yijin died.
"Phew..."
Tan Wenbin stood up, crossed his arms, and blocked the two dolls who were singing nursery rhymes with great enthusiasm.
The two children were very obedient; after Tan Wenbin withdrew his hands, they covered their mouths, looked at each other, and stopped making sounds.
They also knew how much trouble they had caused their godfather because they were full, including this time; although they only came out to play for a little while, their godfather would be unconscious again before long.
Tan Wenbin also knew this, so he had to take advantage of the time he still had a little ghost-control technique to try to help Brother Xiaoyuan do more things and make a conclusion.
The first thing to do was...
"Clap!"
An opened can of Jianlibao was delivered to Li Zhuiyuan.
Li Zhuiyuan took it and walked forward while drinking.
Runsheng knelt there on one knee, leaning on the Yellow River shovel.
Runsheng wasn't satisfied with his performance; opening all Qi gates was his trump card, but it didn't achieve the effect he wanted.
In his imagination, he should have had the opportunity to kill Xu Yijin as soon as he made a move, but unfortunately, Xu Yijin didn't cooperate with him.
Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng on the shoulder: "Brother Runsheng, you have already done very well."
When the fight started, Li Zhuiyuan had indeed regretted that it would be good if Runsheng knew some techniques, but this regret was limited to that time.
The fact was that Runsheng could develop his physical body to this level step by step, not because of "exclusivity," but because his strict and deformed exclusivity destined him to only walk this path; being able to walk out was already extremely difficult.
Without Runsheng's rampage on the front battlefield, forcing Xu Yijin not to dare to face it and only dodge, there wouldn't be the subsequent battlefield compression and the final result of killing her.
Xu Yijin killed those four people on the second floor happily that night, proving that she had many means to deal with enemies, but these means had no place to be used in the face of Runsheng's charge of breaking cleverness with force.
Fighting wasn't sparring; the latter stopped at a point, and everyone could have the opportunity to display the various means they knew one by one, while the former... was aimed directly at your life.
Xiaoyuan comforted him, and Runsheng smiled.
Although he was still blaming himself in his heart and was still dissatisfied with himself, he knew that he couldn't let Xiaoyuan continue to comfort him; every word of comfort was said by Xiaoyuan while suppressing his inner pain.
Tan Wenbin walked to Runsheng's side and asked Runsheng: "Can you still walk?"
Runsheng shook his head.
Originally he could have rushed two more times, but now that he had stopped, his body had cooled down, and he was close to physical paralysis and loss of consciousness.
"Then let go of the shovel and lie down for a while."
Tan Wenbin took away the Yellow River shovel in Runsheng's hand, and Runsheng, who lost support, fell backward, just in time to see the stars in the night sky.
He felt for the first time that the starry sky in Lijiang was indeed different from Nantong; the stars here were closer and brighter.
Tan Wenbin took away all his companions' Yellow River shovels, and then ordered his two godchildren to control the shovels and start digging holes.
Fortunately, Fatty Jin's homestay was in the countryside, and the nearby residential houses were sparse; there was basically no one at night, otherwise, people would see several shovels floating in the air digging the ground, which was simply seeing a ghost.
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the Bai He Master Master Tongzi.
Yes, he was still the Bai He Master Master Tongzi.
The work was done, but the boy hadn't left yet.
He was very painful; no one would feel good after being stabbed with so many needles on his body.
But the boy held on and just wouldn't leave.
Especially after seeing the boy clean up his nosebleed and start walking here, and patting Runsheng on the shoulder to comfort him on the way, the boy made up his mind:
No matter how painful, he had to hold on until he received the award and shook hands with the leader!
Among the statues of gods in the Guan Jiang Shou temple, he was at the end, and he was the first object every new Jil Tong tried to summon when starting... the influencing factors of strength here were actually not the main ones.
It was because when he was summoned by the decree of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the boy immediately put his hands together and returned to the Bodhisattva's seat.
The two generals Zeng and Sun, on the contrary, came later; they were human ghost kings, with fierce flames, and even when facing the Bodhisattva's decree, they were still unscrupulous and laughed wildly.
Although the ending was the same, they were "inspired" by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
But in the yamen, the ranking was above him.
He managed the small chores, while the two generals managed the big jobs and fat errands.
Even later, as the Guan Jiang Shou system grew larger and larger, and more and more statues were erected, even those fierce ghosts and evil spirits who didn't have the strength of the two generals Zeng and Sun still deliberately acted unruly when receiving the Bodhisattva's decree, and then after entering the yamen, they all ranked ahead of him.
Some truths, the boy didn't understand before, but now, the boy just wanted to progress.
Li Zhuiyuan respected Jil Tong, but he had always looked down on these Yin Gods; the past actions of these Yin Gods were also really hard for people with discerning eyes to look up to.
The previous boy also had a posture of looking at the sky with his nostrils, with various calculations, but no matter what, in the last two times, the boy's performance was indeed impeccable.
Grandpa said that if a mule worked hard, you had to feed it a mouthful of good feed immediately and brush its hair for it.
Grandpa also said that if you encountered that kind of mule that was smart enough to understand human language, you had to talk to it more, and tell it that when it got old, it could sleep on the bed in the room and have pancakes to eat every day.
Li Zhuiyuan delivered the Jianlibao in his hand to the boy and fed it to him.
The boy opened his mouth and drank.
Then some liquid overflowed from the talisman needle on his chest, like a shower head being turned on.
The boy immediately reached out and covered his chest; the liquid stopped flowing out, and he was using the remaining divine power he brought down this time to nourish the Jil Tong's body.
Even an old Jil Tong with high virtue and prestige would find it difficult to enjoy this kind of treatment; Yin Gods would respect them, but Yin Gods preferred to possess the bodies of the prime of life.
"Before in Nantong, I actually established a dojo; after going back this time, I will make up for the form, Nantong Corpse-Fishing Li."
"By then, everyone will have a portrait, and I can also hang you in it."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Li Zhuiyuan heard the sound coming from the chest cavity of the other party; this was the sound of the boy's heartbeat.
There was no emotion; it wasn't that he didn't understand human feelings, sometimes it was precisely because it was too easy to see through the other party's thoughts at a glance that it was difficult to form emotional bonds with the other party.
What the Bai He Master Master Tongzi wanted, Li Zhuiyuan had always understood.
Otherwise, his previous manipulations and warnings to the boy wouldn't have all hit the boy's vital points accurately.
The vertical pupils disappeared.
The boy left with satisfaction; when he left, the whole god was floating.
It wasn't just because the divine power brought by this descent was almost exhausted.
Lin Shu returned.
"Plop!"
Ah You knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with both hands.
Over there, Tan Wenbin, who had dug the hole, had already carried Runsheng back to the homestay.
At this moment, Tan Wenbin ran out again and came to Lin Shu.
"Ah You?"
"Brother Bin..."
"Come, I'll carry you to sleep."
Tan Wenbin first pulled out the needles on Ah You's body, and then carried him on his back.
Lin Shu perceived Brother Bin's cold and hard back.
Fortunately, it didn't take long, and he was quickly arranged on the bed, otherwise his chest would have been frostbitten.
"Go to sleep, have a good rest."
"Okay, Brother Bin."
Tan Wenbin went out to continue carrying people.
Lin Shu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
What to do, next time when going home for the New Year, how to tell Master, Grandpa, and the others about this?
It sounded like Brother Xiaoyuan seemed to have the intention of digging the boy out, and the boy agreed very much.
The strangest thing was... Lin Shu felt that he himself also agreed very much.
Yin Meng's state was better, but not much better.
Her skin color had changed again.
At the beginning, Auntie Liu used a medicinal bath to help her beautify, making her very white.
Now, this whiteness made it easier for her to change color.
Li Zhuiyuan never led Yin Meng's research on poison techniques, and was happy to see her play freely.
But this way of poisoning both the enemy and herself every time was really a bit headache-inducing.
He had to find a better way for her to apply poison.
But Yin Meng had only initially mastered walking the Yin path; wanting her to learn to master some techniques was relatively difficult, and the practicality was low; when fighting, it was often not as good as her directly holding a poison jar and rushing forward.
Just at this time, Tan Wenbin came back to carry people again.
Li Zhuiyuan "saw" the two children on Tan Wenbin's shoulders who were still covering their mouths and looking around with round eyes.
After the two children noticed Li Zhuiyuan's gaze, they immediately closed their eyes.
Obviously, they were extremely afraid of this big brother.
Li Zhuiyuan felt that he had found a method.
Tan Wenbin had these two growing resentful infants, which could complement Yin Meng.
It was just that the specific operation here still had to be planned and designed by himself, and even some techniques had to be improved in a targeted manner.
Otherwise, if they joined forces in a hurry, he was afraid that Tan Wenbin's two godchildren would be poisoned to death by Yin Meng's poison first.
Yin Meng held two poison jars in her hand, one of which was a highly volatile toxin that could be used to clean up the residual toxins at the scene, and the other was a relatively low-level corrosive toxin used to destroy the corpses.
Tan Wenbin first carried Yin Meng back to the homestay, then took out a jar of poison and began to clean up the residual toxins around; this was farmland, and people would come to farm here, and in the future, they would grow food to eat; if not handled well, big problems would occur in the future, and then the karma would still be borne by them.
Tan Wenbin had already dug the holes, and the four corpses had been put in separately, but he wasn't in a hurry to use the other jar of toxin to destroy the corpses, after all, Xu Yijin's corpse hadn't been collected yet.
And now, Brother Xiaoyuan was squatting beside Xu Yijin's corpse.
It was very obvious that Brother Xiaoyuan wanted to touch it.
Li Zhuiyuan's hand patrolled Xu Yijin's body.
He was very rich, sitting on all the inheritances in the ancestral houses of the Qin and Liu families.
But he was also very poor; those things belonged to him in name, but he couldn't take them now.
The things he could use now, besides picking them up, had to be obtained by touching.
The boy didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, just as Xu Yijin killed those four people on the second floor last night, she didn't think there was anything wrong either.
Those who kill will be killed.
She wanted to use his team as a shield, which was to be a scapegoat, to die for her.
She didn't do anything wrong, she just picked the wrong soft persimmon.
Li Zhuiyuan touched a soft sword made of ceramic from Xu Yijin, but unfortunately, this sword was only suitable for Xu Yijin herself; others would find it inconvenient even to cut fruit.
During the previous battle, Xu Yijin didn't draw the sword either; she knew that it was unrealistic to use this sword to fight head-on with Runsheng, who had all Qi gates open.
A small bag containing some pills, the ingredients couldn't be distinguished for the time being, so he collected them first.
Besides that, there were some zero and broken things, and the value wasn't high.
Li Zhuiyuan was poor, but his vision was high, so he didn't collect everything.
Regarding this, Li Zhuiyuan didn't feel much disappointment; normal people walking the Jianghu rarely hung treasures all over their bodies; during life-and-death struggles, victory or defeat was often in an instant, and there was no room for you to take them out one by one.
She wasn't Zhao Yi.
Thinking of Zhao Yi, Li Zhuiyuan subconsciously pursed his lips; the "young master" image he displayed in front of Xu Yijin was modeled after Zhao Yi.
Art really came from life, and it was indeed easy to use.
Li Zhuiyuan's gaze fell on the broken painting of the lady beside him; this was indeed a good thing, an object that absorbed and nourished the soul body; the greatest value was the black shadow raised inside.
If he could get it completely, he could find a way to control or even re-refine it.
But it was now destroyed by the Bai He Master Master Tongzi; the boy at that time didn't have other methods, he had to be busy killing.
However, Li Zhuiyuan was very sure of one point.
No matter what cultivation technique you practiced, it was impossible to grow ceramics from your own body without limit; there should be some special magic weapon to stimulate it.
But he searched her body and found nothing.
Then it should be... in the body.
Li Zhuiyuan placed his finger on Xu Yijin's glabella, tapped continuously, and felt carefully.
Soon, he captured a trace of special response.
Li Zhuiyuan took out a copper coin sword with his other hand and patted it on Xu Yijin's corpse.
The copper coin sword was the natural nemesis of all evil spirits; under one pat, the copper rust on it trembled, and a red ceramic flew out of Xu Yijin's mouth.
Li Zhuiyuan reached out and grasped it; the moment he got it, this thing was like a living thing, actually taking the initiative to drill into the flesh and blood of his palm.
The boy patted his palm with the copper coin sword and picked it out; in just an instant, his right palm was dripping with blood.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't mind and shook his bleeding hand; Tan Wenbin had resolved the toxins around and just came back, saw this scene, and immediately took out gauze to help Brother Xiaoyuan bandage it.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, this is..."
"Melting into the body, it can catalyze one's own flesh and blood vitality into a substance similar to ceramic."
"So evil?"
"Is it more evil than your ghost-control technique?"
"Hehe."
Li Zhuiyuan suddenly realized one thing; in the past, he felt that letting Tan Wenbin practice ghost-control technique was a bit too radical; although Tan Wenbin was willing, this kind of technique would greatly damage his lifespan every time it was used.
But in fact, for most people walking the river, this was the most normal state.
Sacrificing one's own vitality, flesh and blood, and lifespan, obtaining the most extreme power in the most extreme way, dealing with every wave, and then getting compensation from the merit after every wave ended.
It wasn't that everyone could be like Zhao Yi, who could be pre-allocated everything needed by family forces before lighting the lamp to walk the river.
Like Xu Yijin and Xiong Shan, or rather, they were the most common; every wave was fighting for their lives, and various evil and overdraft methods, as long as the effect was good, would be used on themselves without any scruples.
Standing from Xu Yijin's perspective, Li Zhuiyuan could really understand Xu Yijin's contempt for the "young master" team.
It was just a pity that this was the Jianghu; not only would excellent Jianghu grass-roots die, but many people from the Long Wang family also died.
The Long Wang worshipped on the family altar, and there were not a few, or even the majority, who had the blood of the opposite family's descendants on their hands when walking the river.
Uncle Qin walking the river and failing and being able to come back alive was a great fortune, and at that time, there were really too few people in the family, and they really couldn't afford to die.
In the past, those with grass-roots backgrounds like Xiong Shan could still withdraw; but those from the Long Wang family would rather die than admit defeat by lighting the lamp.
Li Zhuiyuan used the copper coin sword to suppress this piece of red porcelain; he had to study this thing well to see if he could also make some ceramic puppets to play with.
He was young and couldn't practice martial arts; such puppet objects could indeed make up for his biggest shortcoming now, but it still depended on the specific effect.
And during real fighting, moves without enough strength didn't need to be on the field at all, completely incomparable to Runsheng's shovel.
Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand, and a ceramic doll drilled out from the ground.
Tan Wenbin's eyes widened, thinking it was Xu Yijin's backup plan, but seeing Brother Xiaoyuan summon it directly into his hand, he realized it was his own stress response.
When controlling this group of ceramic dolls underground before, Li Zhuiyuan had noticed it, because there was something inside.
Precious tokens like jade fragments couldn't be placed in the room when Xu Yijin was fighting, but carrying them with her wasn't convenient; once the corpse Qi inside was affected by the battle and erupted, it would only cause a huge hidden danger to herself.
Therefore, she chose to place it underground first.
Li Zhuiyuan tapped the ceramic doll's head twice with his finger; the ceramic doll opened its mouth, revealing the pitch-black jade fragment inside.
The inside of the ceramic was already pitch black, meaning Xu Yijin's suppression of it had reached its limit, which was also the reason why she was anxious to use his team as a shield.
Her time was really running out, and his "young master" team was close at hand.
Perhaps, in Xu Yijin's view, this was the "favor" of the Heavenly Dao to her.
Li Zhuiyuan said to the empty field:
"Corpse Qi, evil spirits, should be punished."
It counted as making up the final disclaimer.
After saying this, Li Zhuiyuan felt a little tired mentally.
They were all people who would shout about defending the righteous path, but they all came to this slaughterhouse where they could kill each other under the guidance of the river water.
Fatty Jin would never have expected that the three groups of guests he brought would end up killing each other until only one group remained without his knowledge.
The two groups of people who died were not killed by evil spirits.
In this wave, could they be considered... truly destroyed for the righteous path?
"Brother Binbin, deal with it."
"Alright."
Tan Wenbin moved Xu Yijin's corpse and put it into the fifth hole.
The hole was dug very roughly, and there was no coffin, not even a straw mat, but the corpse was placed upright by Tan Wenbin.
Perhaps in Tan Wenbin's heart, would the person who dug the hole and buried people today become the one buried tomorrow?
It was just that this kind of thought wasn't suitable to be spoken out, because it was unlucky.
After the corpse was put in, Tan Wenbin poured corrosive toxin on them, and soon, the corpse completely dissolved, leaving only a human-shaped trace in the pit.
Beside Xu Yijin, there was an extra trace of a melted suitcase.
Tan Wenbin was a meticulous person; when he carried his companions back to the room earlier, he incidentally did a cleanup in Xu Yijin's room.
"Don't say, the corpse-dissolving water Mengmeng prepared really works well."
Tan Wenbin said while filling the five pits with soil; it wasn't convenient to set up a monument, so he could only make it slightly convex than the surroundings, all as the last trace in this world.
After doing this, Tan Wenbin felt his body start to become seriously weak.
Li Zhuiyuan accompanied him back to the homestay and incidentally lifted the formation in the front room.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, fighting in the homestay is really good; the loser and the winner can both fall asleep."
Tan Wenbin used his last bit of energy on this witty remark, then returned to the room and lay down, falling into a coma directly.
Li Zhuiyuan returned to the room, wrote a checkout notice, and also included a thank-you letter, which he placed on the counter in the front room.
With the emergency farewell of the four people the night before, it was normal for another person to check out temporarily.
Even if Fatty Jin had suspicions, he would strangle them himself; he had to open for business and couldn't take the initiative to cause trouble.
When Xu Yijin knew she was going to die, she shouted "I admit defeat."
It was just that at that time, he didn't have the capital to provide her with the conditions to admit defeat.
Just like right now, all four of his companions were unconscious.
Should he keep Xu Yijin, sit face to face with her, and stare at each other?
Precisely because Li Zhuiyuan knew formations too well, he knew very well that there was no restriction in this world that was absolutely safe.
Sitting in the room, Li Zhuiyuan took out the ceramic doll and placed it on the table.
In his own way, he added a layer of seal to it.
The boy couldn't help but sigh: "What a messy underlying seal logic."
Even if you didn't think about the subsequent layers of seals, you shouldn't have done it so roughly at the beginning.
This jade fragment had passed through the hands of two groups of people, and the original seal residue was still there and couldn't be removed.
Even with his ability, he could only seal it for one day at a time, and couldn't continue to seal it like the one in his hand.
Everything was handled.
Li Zhuiyuan lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Early the next morning, he was awakened by the bright sunshine of Lijiang through the window.
After taking a bath, Li Zhuiyuan changed his clothes and walked out of the room in a very healthy and positive posture.
Running a homestay was tiring, especially this kind of family-style small workshop business; hiring people was a luxury, and only when the husband and wife and the elderly in the family participated in the labor could they ensure income.
Early in the morning, Fatty Jin's parents were cleaning, mainly cleaning Xu Yijin's room opposite.
Fatty Jin walked over and said with a smile: "Checking out now, all in a hurry."
Li Zhuiyuan: "There should be an emergency."
Fatty Jin nodded: "Hmm, there should be."
Saying that, Fatty Jin wanted to find Tan Wenbin; he liked chatting with Tan Wenbin, but this morning, Tan Wenbin didn't come out with this boy.
When checking in, Li Zhuiyuan had already agreed with Fatty Jin that room cleaning wasn't needed; at this moment, the doors and windows were closed, and the curtains were drawn, which was indeed quite quiet.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't intend to move; he couldn't drag four unconscious adults anywhere, and when the second jade fragment couldn't be suppressed, even if he hid in the mountains, he would still be found.
It was better to just lie here; anyway, there was food and drink, and he could wait quietly for the clues Fatty Jin would bring him later.
He brought three groups of people, and in the end, only his group remained, so this clue should be his.
Li Zhuiyuan borrowed a small stove from Fatty Jin; everyone in their team brought some medicinal herbs in their mountaineering bags.
Because the pharmacist originally positioned in the team was extremely unreliable, even if you looked for targeted medicinal herbs, no one could prepare them.
So everyone's supplies only brought tonics.
Li Zhuiyuan sat at the door of his room, holding a small fan, decocting medicine.
After the medicine was decocted, Li Zhuiyuan carried the bowl to their room and fed it to them.
Although they were all unconscious, the basic swallowing instinct was still there, which saved Li Zhuiyuan from inserting a stomach tube for them.
This tonic was eaten as a meal.
After feeding, Li Zhuiyuan wiped their bodies one by one, changed them into clean clothes, incidentally turned them over, and rubbed them to promote blood circulation.
The health-preserving scriptures he read before had a chance to be practiced now.
After doing this, it was almost dark.
Taking care of four people alone was indeed not easy.
At night, in the room, Li Zhuiyuan spent ten minutes adding a new seal to the jade fragment in his wooden box, while for the jade fragment in the ceramic doll, he spent a full four hours to re-seal it.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at this exquisite porcelain doll, his eyes revealing disgust.
This thing was becoming more and more like a bomb that could explode at any time.
But he still had to watch it explode in his arms while delaying its detonation time as much as possible.
Then, under the eyes of everyone, hand it over.
After sealing, Li Zhuiyuan finally had time to take out the red porcelain fragment and study it.
This thing should be a fragment of some object, but unfortunately, that "Evil Book" was left by him in the corner of the study, otherwise, he could really try to ask the "Evil Book" what on earth this thing was.
But it was indeed very active, had a very strong sensitivity to flesh and blood, and had been separated from Xu Yijin's body for a day; when Li Zhuiyuan moved the copper coin suppressing it, it actually trembled slightly, looking like a wolf cub that was starving.
The most suitable way to study it was actually to arrange curse patterns on his arm in advance, and then let it enter his palm to contact and debug; once an uncontrollable accident occurred, he would forcibly drive it away.
But the problem was that his team only had one healthy person now; if he hurt himself, everyone would be down.
He could only wait for one or two of his companions to wake up before conducting risky research.
Looking at the time, Li Zhuiyuan went to bed.
Tomorrow he only needed to decoct medicine and feed medicine, no need for massage and manipulation, so the time saved could allow him to arrange a large formation centered on this homestay.
When the wolves were surrounding, he couldn't have no safe distance from them, and he couldn't directly expose the weakness of his team; if he wanted to act well, he had to spend more effort to set up the stage.
Li Zhuiyuan fell asleep here.
But in the front room, Fatty Jin and his partner, as well as Fatty Jin's parents, were full of energy late at night!
They didn't know why themselves; usually, after being busy during the day, they could fall asleep as soon as they lay down at night, but tonight they couldn't sleep no matter what, just feeling that they had endless energy.
This was because Li Zhuiyuan decocted medicine in the courtyard during the day, and they inhaled this smell.
This kind of great tonic medicine was naturally no problem for the seriously injured Runsheng and the others; they were no longer ordinary people, but for ordinary people, even if they just smelled the smell for a long time, the medicinal effect was very obvious.
However, there was no harm, just treat it as nourishing the body.
That night, Li Zhuiyuan also perceived an eruption of corpse Qi.
The boy sat up from the bed and took out the compass for detection.
It should be that the third jade fragment couldn't be suppressed and revealed itself.
It was very far from him and was moving at high speed; it should be in the midst of fierce competition.
Li Zhuiyuan put down the compass, lay down again, and went to sleep.
The next day, after Li Zhuiyuan got up, he first went to arrange the formation; he had to ensure the effect and ensure secrecy, but this was easy for the boy.
Fatty Jin's whole family was glowing today; although they slept late last night and got up early this morning, the quality of this short sleep was extremely high.
They thought this was because people were happy when they were happy, because today Fatty Jin received a tour group from a government agency.
In the morning, Fatty Jin drove out, and at noon, he brought back a large group of people, almost filling all the guest rooms.
When Li Zhuiyuan decocted medicine in the afternoon, he paid attention and confirmed that they were all ordinary people.
It seemed that Fatty Jin was only "responsible" for pulling three groups of people and wouldn't pull any more.
This also meant that his choice not to move and continue living here was correct; the place that was originally the most dangerous had now become the safest place.
At night, Li Zhuiyuan first spent a quarter of an hour sealing his jade fragment, and then spent more than six hours to complete the sealing of the ceramic doll.
After finishing, the boy sat paralyzed on the chair, sweating all over.
He knew that no matter how high his formation attainment was, he couldn't seal it a few more times.
This simple arithmetic problem meant that this thing had to be sealed once a day, and if the time required for sealing exceeded one day, there would be no way at all.
He looked up at the time; it was already very late.
But upstairs, opposite, in the rooms of the entire homestay, sounds were still rising and falling.
Government agency travel could bring family members, which was considered an internal welfare of the unit.
The smell of Li Zhuiyuan decocting medicine at the door of his room in the afternoon was also absorbed by them, so tonight, the new and old partners were extra hardworking.
Even if some couples had long been estranged, they erupted with the fiery sweetness of first love tonight.
The next day, everyone was praising the magic of Lijiang; it was worthy of being a place where the mountains and water were good and nourished people.
To ensure his sleep quality at night, Li Zhuiyuan specifically chose to decoct medicine when they went out to visit scenic spots today.
Tonight, he spent eight hours to complete the sealing of the jade fragment in the ceramic doll.
He was tired; he didn't want it anymore.
Even more tired were the other rooms that performed wonderfully last night and were full of greater expectations for tonight.
"Yesterday was too much, today is too tired."
"Walked too much during the day to visit scenic spots, no strength left."
"Sleep, sleep soundly."
The characteristic of thermal expansion and contraction was not only for physical objects but also suitable for emotions.
When going out to visit scenic spots collectively the next day, Fatty Jin, the tour guide, clearly noticed the oppressive atmosphere of the tour group today.
Yesterday they were still like glue and lacquer, even if the old couple was old, they were still sweet, but today they became tired of each other.
After Li Zhuiyuan fed his companions medicine, he continued to arrange the formation.
The formation was finally arranged.
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the rooftop of the building and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around, which was considered a short break.
In front, there should have been a sun shower, and there was a clear boundary line between cloudy and sunny.
In another direction, between the thick clouds, a small hole was opened, and a beam of light fell down, forming a circle similar to a stage spotlight in the rice field.
They were all beautiful scenery.
It was a pity that Li Zhuiyuan had to count the time to enjoy it, because he had to return to the room later to tinker with today's seal.
That burst of corpse Qi still existed, constantly changing positions.
Even if Li Zhuiyuan didn't look at it nearby at all, he knew how many bloody and tragic killings had occurred around it in these few days.
And, because two of the three jade fragments were with him.
Therefore, the one drifting outside actually became a kind of uniqueness, which greatly increased the intensity of the competition.
Having multiple targets and only one target were completely different concepts.
No one knew when the banquet would start, so they didn't dare to delay or wait, and were forced to make a move.
The boy finished eating the flower cake given by Fatty Jin, and just as he was about to go downstairs, a bird appeared in the distant sky, soaring to its heart's content.
Li Zhuiyuan recognized that bird.
Back in Guizhou, it had followed him all the way.
Under that person, there was a young girl who had a very strong affinity for animals and could give orders to animals.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't expect that he also came.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to catch up with this wave.
After all, the original wave of the old woman in Guizhou was eaten by him, which forced Zhao Yi to rush to pick up another wave.
However, he really came, and it wasn't strange, because Zhao Yi only suffered consecutive losses in front of him, but in the eyes of others, Zhao Yi was still a character who was not easy to deal with.
That bird was very far away, so it was naturally impossible to discover Li Zhuiyuan standing here.
But Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand, intending to take the initiative to call it to attract its attention.
Zhao Yi should still have that kind of high-grade medicinal pill; it was tested last time, and it had a very good effect on the injuries of his companions; in short, it was much better than him decocting tonics every day.
Furthermore, he had two jade fragments now, and he didn't have the heart to pursue the third one to complete the three-in-one.
In fact, with the current state of his team, he didn't have the ability to pursue the third one.
Most importantly, the competition and snatching in the early stage were correct, but the banquet in the later stage was the highlight; perhaps by then, it would require the joint efforts of the three parties.
Being too persistent in eating alone would lead to being stuffed to death.
The bird in the sky first perceived the change in the Feng Shui pattern in the distant area, and after flying toward this side, its gaze gradually locked onto the boy on the rooftop of an earthen house below.
Li Zhuiyuan stopped the traction of the Feng Shui pattern and turned to simply wave at that bird.
That bird seemed to be hesitating, thinking about whether to go back to report first, and kept circling back and forth in the air, just refusing to come down.
This tangled energy was simply the same as Zhao Yi.
Li Zhuiyuan was too lazy to wait, reached out again, faced the bird, and his eyes condensed.
That bird immediately felt the murderous intent and then fell at extreme speed, flying in front of Li Zhuiyuan.
Li Zhuiyuan spread his palm, and it landed obediently in Li Zhuiyuan's palm.
The animal's senses were originally more sensitive than ordinary people, especially this kind of opened-wisdom one, to a certain extent, could be called a spiritual object.
However, this bird in front of him could only understand a little bit of human nature, and essentially, it was still quite stupid.
Li Zhuiyuan reached out and flicked the bird's beak a few times.
"Go back and help me ask Zhao Yi, just ask him... whether he wants the jade fragment or not."
