Chapter 218

~35 min read 6,942 words

After leaving the tomb chamber, everyone detoured to the other side of the canyon and went up the mountain from the slope.

After walking for quite a long time, when they were almost at the top of the mountain, they saw a scorched area burned by lightning fire.

That crack entrance was right in the center of this scorched area.

Tan Wenbin: "Was he struck by lightning as soon as he drilled out?"

Lin Shu You: "Then wouldn't he have already been reduced to ashes?"

Tan Wenbin: "You say this like a villain in a martial arts movie, thinking the protagonist is definitely dead and letting out a 'Jie jie jie' laugh."

Li Zhuiyuan squatted down and began to check the scorched traces on the ground.

It was indeed struck by lightning here, just like the old locust tree at the tomb entrance, only it was struck harder here.

The youth took out his small compass, and the needle inside was normal. He frowned slightly, realizing that his compass was of too high quality, but sometimes being affected was also one of the functions of the compass.

"Take out your compasses and let me see."

Everyone took out their own compasses from their backpacks one after another.

Tan Wenbin looked at his own and then at others', and said: "Our compass needles are all like they have Parkinson's."

"There should be some kind of mineral deposit here, which is easy to attract lightning strikes, plus deliberate guidance..." Li Zhuiyuan put the ash from his fingertips to his nose and smelled it. The youth was an expert in formations and could smell the scent of formation materials turning into scorched ash after being overwhelmed. "This is a deliberately created lightning strike."

Yin Meng: "Attracting lightning to strike oneself?"

Li Zhuiyuan clapped his hands and said: "It should be to temporarily isolate one's own karma and shield the eyes of the Heavenly Dao through this method."

From layout to harvest and finally to whitewashing, everything was done impeccably. This is true professionalism.

Runsheng rarely asked: "Xiaoyuan, does the meaning of the sentence he left behind mean that he will come to find you in the future?"

A monster that drilled out of a heavy mountain and was struck by lightning without dying—this physique made even Runsheng feel a vast pressure. He knew that facing such an opponent, even if he opened all his Qi gates, he couldn't stop him at all.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I have worn his face and borrowed his identity; the entanglement of karma between us has long since occurred. He probably also knows that even if I don't go to find him, the river water will push me toward him. He should make the same choice as me: since it cannot be avoided, then take the initiative to attack."

With the precedent of Wei Zhengdao in front and Zhao Yi's normal difficulty walking the river as a reference, the youth also understood the river water's attitude toward him:

If you can't be used to death, then use you to death.

"However, although he has succeeded now, his state must be very bad, and that secret realm deep in Mount Yulongxue has been ruined. If he wants to establish a true divine kingdom on earth, he must also seek a new suitable Daoist temple.

We are walking the river, and those who walk the river are equivalent to the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. Before making full preparations and obtaining sufficient confidence, if he comes to find us, it is exposing himself under the Heavenly Dao."

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and scanned the pleasant scenery at the bottom of the valley below:

"In short, before he finds us, we also have enough time to grow, so don't be afraid."

"Yeah." Runsheng responded. He believed in Xiaoyuan; if Xiaoyuan said he could do it, then he would definitely be able to do it.

Lin Shu You also unconditionally believed in Brother Xiaoyuan, but he still glanced at that crack again and thought:

Wow, if I could have the strength to fight with this kind of guy in the future, then when I go home, it wouldn't just be a single page in the genealogy, I could open a separate genealogy.

What Lin Shu You didn't know was that the dream scene he was thinking about had already been realized by the Bai He Tongzi back home.

Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand:

"Let's go home."

Having been out for a long time this wave, Li Zhuiyuan also missed home.

However, there were some changes during the transfer on the way home.

First, Lin Shu You received a page from the temple back home and called back using a public phone outside the airport. His master, Chen Shoumen, asked about his recent physical condition.

Li Zhuiyuan had just called Auntie Zhang's grocery store in the village, asking Auntie Zhang to help inform his great-grandfather of the time he would return home. The youth had good hearing, so even if it was unintentional, he still heard the content in Lin Shu You's receiver.

Lin Shu You thought his master was simply caring about him. While being very moved, he patted his chest and told his master that his body was very good and he could eat anything.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shu You scratched his head embarrassedly and said to Li Zhuiyuan: "My master still treats me like a child."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Call back and ask what happened in the temple."

Lin Shu You realized immediately upon hearing this and called back immediately. After the other side answered, he asked directly:

"Master, did something happen in the temple?"

In fact, the people holding the receivers on both sides were also receivers themselves.

Chen Shoumen held the receiver and looked at his master, Lin Fu'an, standing beside him. Lin Fu'an nodded at him, signaling him to speak directly.

Just like that, Chen Shoumen told Lin Shu You about the strangeness of the Bai He Tongzi in the temple in recent days.

Originally, he thought that after the Tongzi manifested his holiness that night and set up a separate column, everything should have returned to normal, but in fact, some things changed and really couldn't go back.

For example, although old-qualified spirit mediums like Chen Shoumen could now invite the Tongzi down, young ones and those spirit mediums with shallow cultivation still couldn't invite him down.

The Bai He Tongzi changed his image of being a good old man running errands everywhere in the past; he simply didn't care about those trivial matters anymore.

Whoever wants to go can go; anyway, the Tongzi didn't look down on this kind of mosquito-leg meat.

This undoubtedly brought a great impact to the work of the Guan Jiang Shou. After all, those truly powerful evil spirits and demons were not common. Most of the time, inviting gods was just to solve some small things encountered by ordinary people, but these small things were the basic foundation of the believers.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You should go back."

Lin Shu You said to the other end of the phone: "Master, I'm going home to take a look."

The other end of the phone should have heard Li Zhuiyuan's words, so he didn't decline, just kept saying: "Good, good, good, sorry to trouble you, sorry to trouble you."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Shu You said somewhat hesitantly: "Brother Xiaoyuan, the Tongzi was indeed quite hard-working before."

Lin Shu You's filter for the Yin God Lord since he was small had long been broken by Li Zhuiyuan, and because of this, he was now almost on "equal footing" with the Tongzi.

From a buddy's perspective, A-You also felt a little bit of injustice for the Tongzi. Without him, the grassroots work of the Guan Jiang Shou couldn't be carried out, which was the best proof.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I didn't ask you to go back to persuade the Tongzi to work again."

"Ah, then..."

"You go back to set up an altar and perform a ritual, first divide yourself into a small branch from the temple, and then transfer the Tongzi into your branch."

Hearing this, Lin Shu You's eyes immediately opened wide.

Dividing himself into a small branch meant that he still nominally belonged to the temple's leadership, but in fact, he was already independent.

Generally speaking, this is a necessary step before branching out.

Since then, although he still called his master "Master," when all the temples held meetings in the future, he could also sit on a separate chair like other temple masters.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I want to continue walking the river with you, I don't want to go back to open a temple."

"Branching out doesn't mean opening a temple, it's just a formality. After you establish a small branch, move the Tongzi into your branch. After returning to Nantong, put the Tongzi into my Nantong Daoist temple; this is what I promised him."

Lin Shu You breathed a long sigh of relief; he really thought Brother Xiaoyuan didn't want him anymore.

Now, he finally understood that this move was equivalent to turning the Tongzi's original side job into his main job, and his main job into a side job.

Although the big framework didn't change and the Guan Jiang Shou were still the Guan Jiang Shou, the underlying logic of operation changed. The Tongzi had a legitimate reason not to manage those trivial matters anymore. Under the circumstances, the other Yin Gods either had to collectively become diligent, or they had to push out a new unlucky guy to replace the Tongzi's diligent role in the past.

In this way, the current predicament of the Guan Jiang Shou was solved. As long as they weren't given an excuse to shirk their duties, naturally someone had to come out to do things.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, this method is really good!"

"Then you change your flight and go directly back to your hometown. Handle it early and come back early."

"Understood!"

Lin Shu You ran to the counter in high spirits.

As for which unfortunate Yin God Lord would replace the Tongzi's previous ecological niche, Lin Shu You didn't care.

This reflected the advantage of the Tongzi's early layout. Before, Lin Shu You could only invite the Tongzi to descend, but later the Tongzi deliberately used methods to only allow Lin Shu You to invite himself.

This directly led to Lin Shu You not being familiar with the other Yin God Lords at all.

Beside him, Tan Wenbin extinguished his cigarette butt and asked: "Brother Xiaoyuan, how about I go back with A-You?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yeah."

"Alright, I'll go change..." Just as he was speaking, Tan Wenbin's pager also rang. His expression changed, and he immediately picked up the public phone and dialed.

The person answering the phone on the other side was Zheng Fang, telling him that something had happened to Tan Yunlong.

But to get this opportunity of divine power entering the body, one must have a corresponding and tailor-made method. Isn't the fist set this kid is practicing created by that surnamed Li himself?

After finishing a set, Lin Shu You only felt refreshed. He put his hands on his hips and began to practice qi facing the open and beautiful scenery in front of him:

"Whoo... whoo whoo whoo... hahahaha."

This movement disturbed Tan Wenbin, who was walking on the ridge in front.

To be precise, it disturbed the two children.

After Tan Wenbin woke up, the two children were obviously much stronger, sitting on his shoulders and twisting their butts, with too much energy to vent.

There was no other way. Tan Wenbin could only borrow an exorcism whip from Yin Meng, tie it to the two god-sons, and take them out for a walk to consume energy, just treating it as walking the kids.

Yin Meng had several spare exorcism whips in her bag. This one hadn't been poisoned, and the exorcism whip itself had a suppressive effect on evil things. Using it as a leash was also because she was afraid that the two little ones would play too far and disturb others.

After all, if you walk a dog without a leash, it only easily scares people who are afraid of animals, but if you walk a ghost without a leash, who knows who is having bad luck, and if they are rushed by these two little fat guys, they might just roll their eyes and die.

The two children were originally having a great time, looking here and sniffing there, discussing where abandoned white bones were buried, and where there were small graves of the landlord's family.

While Tan Wenbin was smoking, the two children actually called up a child resentment ghost who was buried with the landlord to play together.

Further away, there was another family. There should be someone in the family who had a miscarriage or an abortion, and there was also a faint little resentment baby who put his hand in his mouth, looking like he wanted to play together but didn't dare to come close.

By the time Tan Wenbin reacted, he was numb.

If he had been in a daze for a while longer, his two sons would have been able to call out all the resentment in the village to hold a class meeting.

There was no other way. He also knew that his two sons' soul thoughts were becoming more and more solid now. They were born from curses and resentment, and their grade was higher than ordinary ghosts. After following him, they ate until they were full, so their grade rose with the tide.

It was only because he was watching them now. If they were really let out to become "wild children," one carelessness would cause a disaster in an area. Ordinary monks and Daoists with some cultivation, let alone collecting them, would be almost collected by them.

"Come back, come back, stop messing around!"

Tan Wenbin put on the posture of a strict father and hugged his two god-sons back.

Ordinary resentment and them contacting too much easily caused changes. Don't let them become ghosts to harm people because of this, which should have dissipated with time. This wasn't asking for karma for himself. This ghost-controller himself was prone to problems in this regard, so naturally, he had to be more careful.

Tan Wenbin observed that the resentment on the one in the distance was very light and had no strong desire for revenge. It should be that its fate was not good, and it had a miscarriage before it was born.

The one in the landlord's temple had been ground in the years and would not harm people, but its body was imprisoned by burial objects, and it was difficult for it to escape and dissipate without destroying the pattern below.

"Hahaha!"

Lin Shu You's qi-practicing sound came.

The two god-sons immediately turned their heads and glared. There was a clear Yin Shen aura in this sound.

Those like Guan Jiang Shou who defected to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and turned to slaying demons and monsters were like ghost traitors in the eyes of ghosts.

Although it wasn't the Tongzi coming in person, the two god-sons dared to show disgust and exclusion toward the sound with Yin Shen aura, which was enough to show that these two guys had grown up and were bold.

Tan Wenbin touched their heads to soothe them: "A-You is one of us. If you have something, find that surnamed Zhao."

The two god-sons clenched their fists and nodded hard: That's right, the worst one is that three-eyed one!

Looking at these two children, a sense of relief appeared on Tan Wenbin's face. It seemed that it was very close to sending them to reincarnation.

His "prenatal education" also had to speed up. He couldn't just teach nursery rhymes; he should bring elementary school textbooks and enlighten them in advance.

In this way, after reincarnation, the two children should be able to learn better from childhood.

Tan Wenbin had hated the learning pressure Tan Yunlong and Zheng Fang put on him since he was a child, but it didn't affect him chicken-parenting himself now.

Returning to the homestay, he took incense and a small table, set up simple offerings, and held a sacrifice for the child who hadn't been born. The child nodded to Tan Wenbin and beckoned to the two little fat guys on his shoulders. The figure became lighter and lighter until it was relieved and disappeared.

As for the poor child who was buried, Tan Wenbin was too lazy to dig the grave with a Yellow Jiang Shui shovel in the dark, so he went to the village store, used a public phone to call the town, reported his identity, and notified relevant units to come for cultural relic protection.

He had many certificates and work proofs in his bag, all opened by Xue Liangliang. He just said he discovered it while doing geological exploration, and the reason was very sufficient.

After all, not every place could be like Luoyang or Xi'an, which didn't treat beans as food, especially in the stage where tourism was rising. All places were eager to be able to dig up their own cultural value... many times, they had to rely on digging.

After making this call, Tan Wenbin remembered that his mother's birthday was coming soon.

He called his father's office. The reason he called his father was because his father always forgot these important days because he was busy with work.

No one answered the office phone, so Tan Wenbin paged his father.

"Bring a pack of cigarettes, that pack."

"Give."

The one watching the store was an old woman. After giving the cigarettes to Tan Wenbin, it happened that someone came to deliver goods. The old woman said to that person: "That soda bottle wasn't returned, I'll make up for it."

The person delivering goods: "Heard about it? Yulong Snow Mountain had a big avalanche a few days ago."

Old woman: "What, did anyone have an accident?"

"No, it's not the tourist section, it's deep, no one should have an accident."

The old woman touched her chest: "That's good, that's good."

"Many tourists heard about this and still wanted to go up to take pictures and see the scenery, hehe."

The old woman shook her head: "Maybe it's Lord Wood getting angry."

Tan Wenbin interrupted at this time: "Lord Wood has a very good temper."

Not long after, the phone rang. Tan Wenbin answered the phone, and Tan Yunlong's voice came from the other end:

"Are you still in Yunnan?"

"Hmm, the mountains are good, the water is good, the people are good, I can't bear to leave."

"Take care of your body, and pay attention to safety."

"Hmm, I know, Dad, Mom's birthday is coming soon."

"Hmm, I remember."

"Ghost believes it."

Tan Wenbin said, picking up the candy on the store counter, peeling two pieces, and handing them to the two god-sons on his shoulders.

"Dad, remember to prepare a gift."

"What gift is suitable?"

"Go to the gold shop and buy a lighter necklace or bracelet."

"I... I only have cigarette money here."

"It's okay, I'll transfer a sum of money to you."

"Okay..."

"Slap!"

The phone on the other end was hung up hard.

Tan Wenbin looked at the receiver in his hand: Who is the son and who is the father?

Li Zhuiyuan planned to instruct Xiong Shan to send meat here at intervals after returning. It couldn't be raw, it had to be cooked, and he couldn't send too much at once, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to enter his grandfather's stomach at all. He would take it to feed his grandsons and granddaughters, or send it to his uncles and the others.

It happened that he received his son's page, so he found a small store to return a call.

He was in a police uniform. When he walked over, he saw the store owner's son eating inside with an unnatural expression.

Ordinary people would have pressure when seeing the police. At first, Tan Yunlong didn't take it seriously, but as the phone call went on, the store owner's son began to sit on pins and needles.

The intuition of an old criminal investigator played a role at this moment. Seeing the store owner's son put down his bowl and chopsticks and prepare to leave, he immediately hung up the phone, stopped him, and prepared to question him.

Who would have thought that the kid saw this and ran directly. This was almost clearly guilty and had committed a crime. He hadn't run a few steps before being pressed down by Tan Yunlong.

Before other police officers arrived here, Tan Yunlong just bluffed casually, and the kid spat out his theft behavior and the location of the stolen goods.

Colleagues came over and arrested the criminal suspect. Everyone was already used to this and began to discuss which restaurant to eat at for this celebration.

Tan Yunlong silently lit a cigarette. He was already used to it himself, just that when he exhaled the smoke ring, he looked at the phone on the counter again.

……

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Brother Pangjin helped move a small grill. Zhao Yi grilled the beef himself, the grease overflowed and made a sound, and the fragrance flew.

"Come, eat, this is tender."

Li Zhuiyuan picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

The two, to be precise, the two-person team had been together day and night for these few days. The medical team Zhao Yi brought was indeed very easy to use, greatly accelerating the recovery speed of his own team.

But there is no banquet in the world that doesn't end, and it was time to part ways.

"I have a new idea now." Zhao Yi put down the tongs and instead reached out to uncover the gauze on his chest. "You give me some advice."

These days, Zhao Yi would tear off the gauze every morning and bask his heart in the sun.

After basking a lot, he basked out an idea. This idea was quite radical.

"I plan to open the Life and Death Gate seam on my forehead to my heart. This way, I can continuously use the effect of the Life and Death Gate seam, and also avoid being weak and powerless."

Li Zhuiyuan waved his chopsticks and said: "We are eating."

While eating, the person sitting opposite suddenly exposed their heart for you to see. Anyone would lose their appetite.

Zhao Yi covered the gauze back and asked: "What do you think?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Theoretically feasible. Your Life and Death Gate seam on your forehead only has death qi, which makes you have side effects every time you open it. The heart is the beginning of human life qi. If you move the Life and Death Gate seam here, you can hope to achieve life and death balance. The disadvantage is that you only have one chance to try and fail."

Zhao Yi: "Didn't we just finish a wave? At this time, merit is added to the body, just suitable for making a death attempt."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded. Taking advantage of the time when his luck was best to do this, it was indeed the wisest among the unwise.

Zhao Yi: "As long as I succeed, I won't be the me I am now."

"Hmm." Li Zhuiyuan finished the beef on his plate and pointed his chopsticks at the meat waiting to be grilled next to him, "Time to add meat."

Actually, Zhao Yi had many means, but many of his means could only be understood and applied when the Life and Death Gate seam was opened. At the same time as the gate seam was opened, the weak body couldn't supply the exertion of these means.

Therefore, Zhao Yi had always been walking the river with illness; but if this problem could be solved, his personal comprehensive strength would get a huge leap, no longer lame, able to be civil and martial.

Zhao Yi: "I was also inspired by the destruction of the high tower. Ascension and destruction, the subversion and change in an instant, is truly the ultimate of life and death."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You had this idea long ago, but your heart couldn't bear it before. Now with the stones filled in by that Lord Wood, you feel you have a chance to try."

Zhao Yi: "Er..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "How guilty and uneasy are you, having to drag in a big scene to treat an illness."

Zhao Yi curled his lips: "After going back, I will also start training Xu Ming and Sun Yan."

"Hmm." Li Zhuiyuan continued to eat beef.

Zhao Yi smiled and said again: "By the way, the location you asked me to help you find, my family found it and notified me."

Li Zhuiyuan put down his chopsticks and picked up a paper towel to wipe his mouth.

Zhao Yi: "Hey, at least pretend, I said earlier that I have a chance to go up a floor, and you didn't seem to attach importance to it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It doesn't matter which floor you go up to, the floor above is always me."

Zhao Yi: "The twelfth year of Yongyuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a landslide occurred on the Qingtang riverbank, forming a dangerous shoal that blocked the shipping channel. This place is located downstream of the old city of Zigui County.

There is a saying, 'Qingtang Xie shoal is not a shoal, Kongling is the ghost gate.' However, although this Qingtang cannot compare to Kongling, it is also an extremely dangerous place.

March Forest does not refer to a forest, but a canyon adjacent to Qingtang. It is withered all year round, only during the Qingming Festival is it lush and full of vitality.

This is the specific location, you take it."

Zhao Yi handed over a piece of paper.

"Thank you." Li Zhuiyuan took the paper.

Zhao Yi: "Are you going back to Nantong next, or going here?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Go here to take a look first, and then go back to Nantong."

Zhao Yi: "I advise you, since this wave has already been walked, there is no need to create extra trouble."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I am different from you."

Without thoroughly exploring this matter, Li Zhuiyuan couldn't be at ease. Some things, even if he wanted to avoid them, the river water wouldn't go according to his wishes, so it was better to be proactive.

"If you go there and find that the corpse is gone... then it's really a bit scary." Zhao Yi stood up, continued to clip the beef into the grill, and hummed,

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, children and grandchildren are gone, I enjoy the blessings~"

Li Zhuiyuan: "There is nothing scary. The longer a person lives, the lower the value of their descendants."

Zhao Yi: "Like that Mengmeng under your hand?"

The Great Emperor of Fengdu is in Fengdou, but he can watch the Yin family wither. Yin Meng's grandfather and father didn't have a good end.

Zhao Yi drank a sip of soda and continued:

"Seriously, I think in the eyes of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, you are more valued than his bloodline successor.

Listen to me, in the face of Taoist inheritance, there is no misunderstanding that cannot be resolved. You go to Fengdou one day to apologize and admit your mistake, and the small grudge will be eliminated."

Li Zhuiyuan: "This requires a middleman responsible for passing the message."

Zhao Yi: "Brother Pangjin, is there any beef left? Cut some more for me, it's not enough to eat!"

The next morning, Tan Wenbin went to settle the room fees and other expenses for these days with Brother Pangjin.

Xu Ming came over wanting to settle his own, but was actively covered by Tan Wenbin.

"How embarrassing."

Tan Wenbin: "It's okay, reimbursement for the extra-team also conforms to the process."

After settling, Brother Pangjin smiled and said: "I will send a car to send you to the station."

Tan Wenbin was surprised: "Didn't you say last night that you would drive Zhao Yi and them to Lugu Lake yourself?"

Zhao Yi was ultimately worried that he would fail. This failure meant death, so he chose a place with beautiful scenery nearby. If he failed, it would be convenient to bury him on the spot.

Brother Pangjin: "I just recruited a new employee recently. I asked him to borrow a car, and it will be here in a while. He will send you."

Tan Wenbin: "That's fine."

Because of the increasing rain recently, Brother Pangjin was worried about the situation on the mountain road, so he drove Zhao Yi and them to Lugu Lake early.

Looking at the departing car shadow, Lin Shu You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, he saw Brother Bin's two god-sons sneaking into Zhao Yi's room to play tricks, but A-You didn't stop them.

It's a pity that the two god-sons were trapped by Zhao Yi's formation. If Brother Bin hadn't arrived in time, Zhao Yi would have used peach branches to hit their butts.

Ultimately, this Young Master Zhao only looks a bit low-grade in front of his own Brother Xiaoyuan. Outside, he is also an extraordinary figure. 【221】 It is this figure who has no capacity at all. How can he hold a secret and look like he wants to eat it for a lifetime? Even kindergarten children are not this childish.

Yin Meng: "From next month on, besides your meal money, we will also be responsible for your gambling losses."

Sitting in the car, looking at the passing scenery on both sides, Zhao Yi said to Xu Ming and Sun Yan sitting in front:

"If I have an accident, you bury me. Remember to bury me deeper, don't let them dig me out again when they develop tourism and build hotels later."

Hearing this, Xu Ming and Sun Yan didn't know whether to respond or not.

Zhao Yi said again:

"If I succeed, I will treat you better in the future. Regardless of whether I can become a Dragon King in the end, I can't let you follow me for nothing."

……

While waiting for Brother Pangjin's new employee to drive over to pick them up, Tan Wenbin led everyone to check the homestay from top to bottom, making sure not to leave anything that shouldn't be left, especially Yin Meng's poison jars.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the counter, where a small God of Wealth was worshipped.

The youth originally intended to press the seal mud, but after hesitating for a moment, he changed it to blood mist condensing in his right palm, and finally turned into a blood bead at his fingertip, performing spell painting on the God of Wealth statue.

The final stroke fell, and the fingertip pressed on the God of Wealth's face. The color of the God of Wealth statue suddenly became brighter.

Having lived in someone else's house for so long and received such care, it was no longer something that could be repaid with just money, not to mention Brother Pangjin also took them in and out of the snow mountain.

Consecrating the God of Wealth statue was just to set up a protection for his house.

As for "wealth luck," Li Zhuiyuan felt that Brother Pangjin didn't need external force. Relying on his current mentality and courage to start a business, he would definitely be able to make money in the future.

"Beep beep!"

The car arrived.

Li Zhuiyuan walked out the door, and the others also packed their mountaineering bags and came out.

The driver got out of the car, a fair-faced young man.

Seeing him, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Seeing no one around, the young man leaned against the car body and intended to kneel down to salute.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Since you have decided to be a human, don't kneel down at every turn."

The young man was surprised. Isn't it only humans who kneel?

Everyone got in the car. When passing through the ancient city, Tan Wenbin pointed to the direction of the Wood King's Mansion and teased: "Look, Wood King's Mansion."

A smile appeared on the young man's face. He was called Lord Wood, but it was not the same thing as the Wood King in history.

After arriving at the destination, everyone got off the car.

The young man also turned off the engine and got off, bowing and standing by the car door, respectfully seeing everyone off.

Li Zhuiyuan stood in front of him and said:

"Since you have decided to enter the world to cultivate as a human, I will give you a piece of advice. Humans don't only have a beautiful side, and life is the same. When you encounter the opposite side, remember to restrain yourself and deal with it in a human way of thinking. Avoid impulsive actions that lead to falling short of success."

Hearing this, the young man bowed deeply.

Lin Shu You poked Tan Wenbin's arm lightly and whispered: "I didn't expect Brother Xiaoyuan to be so professional when saying these things."

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan reads many scriptures. If you go back and copy all those scriptures, you can also be professional."

"Really?"

"No, you really intend to copy."

"I can let the Tongzi come down to accompany me to copy."

"Heh, by the way, how is your Tongzi?"

Lin Shu You's eyes froze, and the vertical pupil opened. This time, the vertical pupil was not only deeper but also had a faint blood light in the middle, which was very spirited.

Because of this action, Lord Wood was so scared that his body trembled, almost collapsing to his knees.

Tan Wenbin immediately covered Lin Shu You's eyes: "There is a tourist store in front, I'll go buy you a pair of sunglasses."

……

After several days of non-stop travel, they finally arrived at that Qingtang and also found the canyon called March Forest.

It was not long before Qingming, and the valley was full of vitality, but because the transportation here was inconvenient, no tourists would come here.

Time is the sand most suitable for burial, not to mention that the black-robed person killed his whole family years ago and moved the remains of his whole family to the bottom of the tower, which was equivalent to actively destroying his own traces.

Li Zhuiyuan held a compass and walked in it, quickly capturing the orientation.

When approaching that position, Li Zhuiyuan could sense the restriction formation that should have existed nearby, but now they had all dissipated.

There was a concave hole on one side of the canyon, and the entrance was covered by an old locust tree.

The old locust tree seemed to have been struck by lightning not long ago, and most of it was scorched.

Runsheng and Lin Shu You cleaned it up for a long time before they dug out the entrance.

Dug out together were many animal and human skeletons. Clearly, they were all nutrients for this old locust tree, which had been detained to serve as its nourishment.

If it hadn't been struck by lightning, when finding this place, they would have had to take action to solve this trouble.

The passage in the hole was not downward, but level. The ancestral grave of the black-robed person's family should have been built inside this canyon mountain.

The scale was not large, looking like a small noble tomb.

Who would have expected that the ancestor who had laid out the "ascension game" in the secret realm would have built his tomb so small and simple.

Li Zhuiyuan had read the "Spring and Autumn of the Qi Family" and was good at formations. From the corridor to the small section before the main tomb chamber, he saw countless fine mechanisms and high-level formation remnants.

Although the tomb was small, the depth of the murderous intent inside made even Li Zhuiyuan feel shocked.

Fortunately, everything here followed what that ancestor wrote in the book: when the time comes, the restriction will be lifted on its own.

Otherwise, even if Li Zhuiyuan wanted to come in, it would be extremely difficult, even if you broke the mechanisms and formations on the surface, God knows how many invisible mysteries were hidden below.

The black-robed person relied on his ancestor's bloodline and could obtain rule preferential treatment in the secret realm high tower.

In fact, his formation attainment, or at least the formation level when he first entered here, was far inferior to Li Zhuiyuan's current level.

Li Zhuiyuan could almost be certain now that the "because I am a dead person, I was able to enter the ancestral grave" said by the black-robed person was a complete joke.

When the restrictions here were intact, not only could dead people not enter, even if the Bai He Tongzi came in person, I'm afraid his divine position would be dissolved here.

On the ground and on the walls, one could see many corpses, which had long since turned into withered bones. They should have been the ancestors of the black-robed person.

The ancestor left a message: Do not enter the ancestral grave until the time comes.

But who among the descendants could resist this temptation? After all, no one knew whether they could live until that time.

Then, they all died here, died in the restrictions set by their own ancestor, except for the black-robed person.

Tan Wenbin: "That, Brother Xiaoyuan, I have a suspicion."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You say." 【

You know, I used it to continuously test the secrets of heaven and caused several self-immolations. Is it "not seriously injured," or does it still have a way to absorb power to repair itself even through the sealing talisman paper?

I clearly did such careful prevention, but it could still bring me "surprises."

It was because I was determined from the beginning never to make any deals with it that it couldn't find a loophole.

Sure enough, in any relatively smart game, whoever thinks they are smart first loses.

On the page of the "Evil Book," a line of graceful small characters emerged:

"Congratulations on successfully riding the waves again. Your slave is under the bed at home, praying for you day and night."

Immediately, the pages turned. In the following paper, there were dense Buddhist and Daoist scriptures written in red font, as well as types of scriptures that even Li Zhuiyuan couldn't recognize for the time being, but they should all be for praying for blessings.

Moreover, deliberately using red font was to create the feeling of a blood letter, which was more sincere.

But, when it recovered as before in front of him, it already had a way to be destroyed in Li Zhuiyuan's eyes.

It knew this clearly, but it couldn't care anymore.

Because it was afraid.

Li Zhuiyuan looked down at the wordless book in his hand. Just one encounter scared that person like this. Could it be that this is your true usage?

Li Zhuiyuan placed the "Evil Book" on the wordless book. As soon as the two came into contact, the "Evil Book" began to tremble violently, and ripples also rippled on the clean white pages of the wordless book.

This scene was like pouring ink into a basin of clear water.

But it didn't look like the ink would muddy the clear water; it looked more like the clear water would purify the ink.

When the "Evil Book" began to dissolve, words constantly emerged on it:

"Please, don't do this, I am willing to give everything for you!"

"I will obey you in everything, and I can solve all your doubts!"

When the "Evil Book" dissolved halfway:

"You are my master, I am your most devout servant!"

"Being able to follow you is the will of the Heavenly Dao, it is the destiny of fate!"

Suddenly, a large amount of black Qi overflowed from the "Evil Book," wanting to rush out.

Li Zhuiyuan spread his right palm, took the copper coin sword, and drew it directly at it.

"Clack!"

Zhao Wuyang's copper coin sword was extremely Yang and extremely rigid, specializing in restraining evil objects.

In the dark, it seemed to hear a shrill scream.

A large, ferocious line of text emerged on the "Evil Book":

"You are a devil, you are a monster in human skin!"

No one knew how much effort the "Evil Book" had put into invading the youth's emotions without being noticed and silently, but the fact was that all its efforts finally became silent.

"Plop..."

Like a stone falling into a lake.

The "Evil Book" disappeared completely.

"Swish..."

The wordless book began to turn pages quickly and finally stopped on one page.

On this page, first, black, thick vertical lines emerged, like bars in a prison cell.

Immediately after, an old man with disheveled hair and red eyes emerged in the painting, grabbing the bars with both hands, hissing and roaring at Li Zhuiyuan outside the book.

Although the picture was frozen, one could imagine the dynamic.

Li Zhuiyuan closed the wordless book and held it in front of him.

Now, the youth felt somewhat pitiful for that scholar, because the other party had been diligently studying this book both before and after death, longing to uncover the secrets within.

"It's not a book at all, it's... a prison."
