"Phew... phew... phew..."

Zhen Yue lay in a ditch, his chest heaving violently.

The Zhen family is good at researching array techniques, but essentially they are still array masters, and the relative weakness in physical fitness is inevitable.

That fatty didn't even have skin, yet he could run so far in one breath. Zhen Yue ran here and was already exhausted.

Fortunately, that terrifying Daoist did not chase after him again.

After panting for a while, Zhen Yue swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, climbed up, and knelt down in the direction he had fled.

Holding incense with both hands, he bowed three times, and finally, while pressing his forehead to the ground, inserted the incense into the crevice beside him.

"Thank you, elder, for your help!"

Yes, in Zhen Yue's view, the one who took action to save him earlier was an elder of his own family, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the other party would use the Giant Eye Binding Spirit Array.

"I am not your elder."

Zhen Yue raised his head to seek the voice that had suddenly appeared, and then he saw the youth standing on the ditch.

At first glance, it was a bit blurry, but at the second glance, borrowing the starlight, he recognized the familiarity.

His brain ran quickly to recall, and he finally remembered who the youth was.

Back in Lijiang, a group of people gathered to besiege that homestay. He, Zhen Lang, and Zhen Xin also participated together. At that time, they even praised the defensive array of this homestay.

"It's you... you?"

"Hmm, it's me."

"You, why did you save me?"

Suddenly, Zhen Yue's expression froze, because he figured out one thing. Since the other party was also a person who lit a lamp and walked the Jianghu, and also appeared there at this moment, doesn't that mean there was something fishy about the encounter between himself and the fatty's two teams tonight?

No matter what, neither team should have encountered such a terrifying existence just as they stepped into this wave, almost being killed to the point of near-annihilation.

Seeming to have guessed what Zhen Yue was thinking, Li Zhuiyuan said frankly:

"Hmm, I arranged it."

"You..."

Zhen Yue's neck stiffened, wanting to get angry, but found that there was no anger in his heart at all.

On this matter, he could not criticize the other party's behavior. If conditions allowed, he would do the same thing.

Most importantly, he had done it before. Back then, the three of them participated in breaking the array against the Lijiang homestay. If it weren't for the time being up and the array being truly consolidated and hard to break, then their group would have rushed in and drowned the youth's team to snatch the broken jade in their hands.

Whether it was the rule tradition of lighting a lamp and walking the Jianghu, or the fact that he had done the first move, Zhen Yue had no reason to be angry at the youth's behavior tonight. What's more, the youth had just saved him, which could be considered returning good for evil.

Zhen Yue: "Thank you..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You're welcome."

Zhen Yue: "I will go back and light the lamp a second time to admit defeat, and from then on, I will not ask about worldly affairs, but will study arrays at home and teach the next generation."

Li Zhuiyuan took out paper and pen from his bag. The zipper of the small pocket was not pulled well, so he pulled it back by the way.

This small pocket contained various seasonings. Earlier, when Zhao Yi separated from him, he specifically took a bag of salt from here.

Li Zhuiyuan sat down, put the notebook on his knees, held the pen and wrote quickly, asking while writing:

"Do you understand the seven changes of array operation?"

Zhen Yue was stunned for a moment. The seven changes of Zhen family array operation are the seven basic principles of Zhen family array techniques and are the Zhen family's secret that is not passed on. Is the other party asking for his Zhen family's unique learning?

Is it extortion, or coercion, or is it asking for a return for a favor?

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhen Yue cleared his throat and continued to expound, "The seven changes of operation are divided into heaven change, earth change, technique change..."

The pen in Li Zhuiyuan's hand paused slightly, then continued to write.

He was not extorting the Zhen family's unique learning, just simply asking if Zhen Yue understood this aspect. If he understood, he could skip this part and continue writing the following, which could save time.

After all, after Zhen Shaoan's carving boards were organized, they were still a bit redundant. Writing them all down would take at least a whole notebook, and his hands would be sore.

"Do you understand the twelve strategies for harmony between array pivots?"

"The twelve strategies for harmony between array pivots are to seek the study of arrays and..."

Li Zhuiyuan kept asking, Zhen Yue kept answering, and then Li Zhuiyuan kept skipping steps.

Zhen Yue did not know what Li Zhuiyuan was doing. He thought the youth was recording his answers.

Actually, if he deliberately played dumb and resisted, then Li Zhuiyuan might stop writing.

The youth did not owe him anything, so naturally, he would not spoil him. Opportunities are about fate.

Gradually, the further he went, the more Zhen Yue felt powerless in the face of the youth's questions and could not answer them.

He explained sincerely and constantly:

"I don't know this."

"There is no record in the family classics."

"Can these two still have a relationship?"

"Can it actually be like this?"

Zhen Shaoan had been a teacher under Yulong Snow Mountain for so long back then, and the things he researched and pondered had long exceeded the Zhen family's own heritage.

Moreover, one must consider a fact here, that is, family sects do not generally develop and grow with time; the vast majority begin to decline after reaching a certain peak.

Zhen Yue's lips moved a few times, and finally he plucked up the courage to ask: "What exactly are you doing?"

He couldn't even answer, but the other party was still writing.

After writing, Li Zhuiyuan threw the notebook down, put the pen cap back on, and rubbed his wrists.

Zhen Yue caught the notebook and opened it. There were patterns and words on it. Although the words were sloppy, they were very good-looking, and the patterns had clear rhythms, carrying their own artistic conception.

No, including these words, in fact, looking at it as a whole, it was also part of the pattern. The artistic conception of expressing the mystery of the array was also hidden in it. This was the true "micro-words and great meaning."

Zhen Yue's eyes grew wider and wider. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to imagine that such a handed-down work was written by this youth sitting on the ditch in one go.

Many precious scrolls and secret books use this method, making simple copying meaningless. Li Zhuiyuan had seen too many, so he naturally learned it. Of course, this also put higher requirements on the viewer.

Zhen Yue closed the notebook. At first, he didn't see it all, but after seeing the back, he finally realized that this was actually the follow-up to the Zhen family route. He asked in disbelief:

"Why are you doing this?"

"Your ancestor had someone named Zhen Shaoan, who was trapped in one place for the development of the family. I got his things and passed them on to you Zhen family members. It can be considered as settling this cause and effect with him."

"Do you have an old relationship with that ancestor of my family?"

"A grudge."

Zhen Yue's mouth twitched.

"Alright, tell me which Daoist temple you were supposed to go to."

"I... I will handle it myself, don't worry."

"I'm not at ease, because I doubt your current ability."

Zhen Yue said the location of the Daoist temple and reminded: "That Daoist temple recently modified its array. You must pay attention... forget it, I said too much. For you, it must not be a difficult matter."

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and patted the dust on his pants: "Alright, I'm leaving, you go too."

Zhen Yue: "I dare to ask your name."

Fearing that Li Zhuiyuan would misunderstand, Zhen Yue hurriedly said: "Jianghu competition, the capable go up and the mediocre go down. I have absolutely no intention of revenge on the shore. You passed this book to me and continued the future of my Zhen family. My Zhen family should set up a living shrine for you and serve you as a benefactor."

"No need."

"Please don't decline. This is the heart of my Zhen family."

"I don't look down on this little heart."

"Oh, then... then..."

Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand and walked away.

Zhen Yue put the notebook into his arms, bowed seriously in the direction the youth left, looked at the night color again, and sighed silently.

He knew very well how terrifying it was to be able to practice and master it in a short time even after getting the ancestor's legacy.

Competing on the river with such a person, ha, what is there to compete for.

Turning around, he walked toward the direction of home. Under the starlight, there was a scattered shadow.

When lighting the lamp and leaving home, the three of them were in a line, full of infinite longing. Now, he could only embark on the journey home alone.

This is not an isolated case, but the fate of the vast majority of lamp-lighters in every generation.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't walk far before he saw Zhao Yi standing there waiting for him. He was panting and sweating on his forehead, not faking it, but really running here with all his might.

Zhao Yi said dissatisfiedly: "I said, wait for me to finish dealing with that fatty before coming with you to find him. That fatty can run, he can't escape."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's fine, save some time."

Zhao Yi: "What if he suddenly gets violent and wants to fight you to the death? You haven't practiced martial arts."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Array master versus array master, what accident can I have."

Zhao Yi: "Don't let me hear the news that you died in such an accident one day. I will be so happy that I will jump off the bed."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then you'd better not believe those rumors and explore the secrets behind the appearance of accidents. Maybe you can have a great opportunity."

Zhao Yi: "I won't go to the place where you have to die."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You didn't kill that fatty."

Zhao Yi: "Didn't kill him. That fatty is interesting. Is the Zhen family one going to light the lamp a second time to admit defeat?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm."

Zhao Yi: "But I think that fatty will come back with his skin."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Indeed."

Zhao Yi: "In the Jianghu, without these people, there will be much less excitement and fun. Even if I know there are some risks, letting them live can have more expectations. This is the reason why I didn't kill him."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Too much nonsense."

Zhao Yi: "You have to respect the changes in my psychological activities."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I knew long ago that you wouldn't kill him, especially in front of me. You killing that fatty is equivalent to reminding me that I should kill you."

Zhao Yi: "You surnamed Li!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Alright, while it's not dawn yet, let's flatten those two Daoist temples first, and by the way, let me see the strength of your team now."

Zhao Yi: "The strength of the Liang sisters will not disappoint you. After all, I have even bet myself in."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's not the first time you've been a widower."

Zhao Yi bent down, signaling the youth to come up.

Li Zhuiyuan climbed onto Zhao Yi's back, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a smell of sweat."

"You don't dislike Runsheng but come to dislike me."

"I'm used to the smell on Brother Runsheng."

"I use scented powder."

"So after sweating, the smell is even worse."

Zhao Yi took a step, displayed his movement technique, and traveled quickly.

"I have already asked Sun Yan to notify them to go and attack a Daoist temple first. However, without the two of us, they might not be able to break the array."

When they really arrived at the place, Zhao Yi was slapped in the face by what he said.

Because the array of that Daoist temple had already been broken, and the sound of fighting was coming from inside.

The gate of the Daoist temple collapsed by half, with several deep concave marks. Looking closely, one could find the outline of shovel marks.

Zhao Yi: "What did you feed your Runsheng?"

It was clear that this array was smashed open by Runsheng with a Yellow River shovel.

Last time in Lijiang, Runsheng could only possess this power briefly after opening all his qi gates. Zhao Yi certainly didn't believe that Runsheng would open all his qi gates at this moment and then go back to lie down.

Li Zhuiyuan: "He has indeed been eating well recently."

Mainly, the one under the peach forest was in a good mood some time ago and let Runsheng soak his body with the baleful aura on his body.

Zhao Yi: "Shouldn't be. I have already walked three waves, and you have only walked once. Why is your one time worth my three times?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The difficulty is different, and the question types are also different."

Last time, he had even come into contact with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, while Zhao Yi didn't know which mountain corner he was circling in.

Even this wave was a rest period for the Heavenly Dao to lower the difficulty for himself, but he encountered Zhao Yi in this wave.

Zhao Yi: "The Heavenly Dao will also be biased?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I can give this kind of thick love to you."

Zhao Yi raised his hand and waved at the sky: "I'm joking, you must not take it seriously."

Li Zhuiyuan stepped into the Daoist temple, and Zhao Yi followed closely behind.

There were corpses everywhere on the ground, but it was almost impossible to find a complete one. This was very consistent with Runsheng's style, and the Liang sisters should have deliberately competed for this, and their hands were extra heavy.

Actually, these Daoist temples would still claim to be righteous people on the surface. Like the Shi Zhuozhao, using the name of raising orphans and widows to transfer the evil karma was not a rare thing, but a general one.

It's just that this kind of thing cannot be seen in the light, and even more cannot be weighed. Once it is weighed, then you are destroyed, which is asking for it.

The level of the Fengdu Great Emperor receives great cause and effect, while this kind of Daoist temple is small cause and effect. People on the river lead waves in the river. If you can bear it, you can naturally continue to exist and wait for the next robbery. If you can't bear it, that is "doing many unrighteous deeds will lead to self-destruction."

This Daoist temple clearly could not afford it.

The fighting had entered the final stage. The first thing they saw was Sun Yan. She stood there, and a group of snakes, insects, rats, and ants listened to her command, finding the people who wanted to hide one by one.

Besides that, she didn't need to do anything else, because the villains here were not enough for the three in front to kill.

Runsheng and the Liang sisters were all covered in blood, as if they had taken a blood bath.

At this moment, the three had already killed to the last building. Some people were making a final desperate resistance, some were crying and begging for mercy there, and some were pointing at "Heavenly Dao can see" and so on righteously.

Runsheng was too lazy to listen to their nonsense, just constantly using his shovel to smash the Daoists in front of him one by one.

The Liang sisters, one holding a soft sword and one holding a dagger, covered for each other, and their killing efficiency was no less than Runsheng's.

Li Zhuiyuan also recognized what Zhao Yi said, that strength was the weakest item of the two sisters, because in the cooperation of the two sisters, there was an array law. The two of them were not only a cooperation in martial arts, but also could instantly form arrays and techniques.

This kind of opponent, if you can't smash them to death at the beginning, or suppress them strongly throughout, once it becomes anxious, they can devour you with infinite means.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You, this son-in-law, are not wrongly taken."

Zhao Yi lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled a smoke ring, saying: "Surnamed Li, your face is really getting thicker and thicker."

Li Zhuiyuan touched his face and replied: "Thank you."

Zhao Yi: "That old lady of yours is afraid that she has already taken a basket of names for your future children, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you have any suggestions? I can help you convey them."

Zhao Yi: "..."

Zhao Yi originally wanted to tease again, if you have fewer children in the future, I'm afraid it won't be enough to inherit those surnames.

Thinking about it, forget it. That old lady was really too terrifying. If she knew that he was insinuating on this matter, she would really be so angry that she would find an excuse to come to Jiujiang in person.

"Bang."

The last white-haired, youthful-looking old man, who should be the temple master, died the most heroically.

Runsheng's shovel hit his head, and the Liang sisters stabbed into his chest. Everyone was competing for this last head, directly blowing up the temple master.

The strength level of the team appeared a clear chasm at this moment.

The hard bones that the Zhen family three and the fatty group wanted to avoid were not enough to chew for Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi.

Moreover, both sides actually didn't use their full strength. The personnel didn't come fully, and the heads of both sides didn't take the field.

Runsheng shook his head, shook off the fresh blood, and revealed his face.

He smiled very happily, because he killed enough.

After the death-reversal baleful aura was completely stimulated, Runsheng controlled it, but it was a kind of control that couldn't be shown on weekdays, and would be completely exposed when truly taking action.

He didn't resist this change. After all, when fighting for life and death, one must have this energy.

Liang Yan was squeezing her hair, and one was squeezing her clothes.

Zhao Yi dropped the cigarette butt and ran up to help. He helped the sister here, and helped the sister there, mainly giving rain and dew to everyone.

Li Zhuiyuan set up a simple array, raised a fireball that would wander around, and when he left, he added an isolation array at the door by the way.

It won't take long for this Daoist temple to be burned clean and turned into a fertilizer in the mountains.

The next Daoist temple is not large, and the population inside is small. Generally, this also means that the Daoist practice per capita will be higher.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Zhao Yi: "You go."

Zhao Yi: "Do I also need an assessment?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm."

Zhao Yi whispered: "Give me some face, I can definitely break this array, so you break it."

"Good."

Li Zhuiyuan stepped forward, a blood mist appeared in his right palm, and an array flag appeared. The youth held the array flag and waved it gently, and a small temple gate appeared from the green trees.

Zhao Yi loosened his muscles and bones to warm up, then kicked the door open and rushed in.

His speed was very fast, as if to deliberately show off. When Li Zhuiyuan went in, he saw the corpses of two young Daoists already lying on the steps.

The last Daoist had a face like withered tree bark, clearly aged, and his state was very abnormal. It was clear that he had used some kind of inhumane secret method to prolong his life.

Zhao Yi fought with him, and the two fought inextricably.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that this was Zhao Yi's deliberate act.

The two small characters earlier were not worth mentioning, so solve them quickly. This old thing has some strength, so fight for a while longer, so that he can see more.

In the cooperation of the teams on both sides, no matter how strong the Liang sisters are, they are secondary. What Li Zhuiyuan values is Zhao Yi's ability.

Lin Shu You is the same. Even if he hates Zhao Yi so much that his teeth itch, his first reaction after meeting them is to think about paving the way for the next cooperation.

After successfully transferring the seam of the life-and-death gate with the merit of river-walking, Zhao Yi's strength can be said to have achieved a huge growth.

The difference between a genius and an ordinary person is that an ordinary person has limited energy and can only study one item in a lifetime, while a genius can walk several items together.

Zhao Yi didn't use weapons, purely fighting the old Daoist holding a long sword with his bare hands. His palms were covered with a layer of water, and every time he came into contact with the opponent's weapon, he could unload force, transfer, and grasp.

As they fought, the old Daoist began to gradually fail to support. Dense age spots appeared on his body. After the age spots gathered to a certain degree, they changed toward corpse spots.

Phantoms of infants constantly appeared on the old Daoist's body. This was the tonic he had not fully digested.

The old Daoist knew that he couldn't continue fighting like this. His body couldn't withstand long-term tossing, but whether he used steps, talisman paper, or techniques, he could be easily resolved by the young man in front of him, forcing him to have to carry out this most primitive entanglement.

Zhao Yi won for sure, winning with ease.

Runsheng felt a little emotional. The young master Zhao, who was weak as a willow in the wind, could now fight with great momentum.

This made him think about how strong his little Yuan would be after practicing martial arts as an adult. I'm afraid that at that time, he would no longer need himself to protect him in front of him.

Liang Yan took the initiative to approach Li Zhuiyuan and asked: "Are you still not practicing martial arts?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm."

Liang Li followed and asked: "You've already walked the river, why don't you practice martial arts?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It will deplete the body."

Liang Yan: "Since this is the case, why are you in such a hurry to light the lamp and walk the river?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Heaven knows."

Liang Li: "Aren't you in a hurry? You still care that practicing martial arts in advance will limit future development. If I were you, I would spare no cost, just to win the position of Long Wang."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because in my opinion, Long Wang is just a starting point for the next stage, not the future."

The two sisters were silent.

Different people saying the same thing has different effects on the audience. From Zhao Yi's attitude toward the youth, they knew very well that the youth was extraordinary, but they didn't expect that he still had such ambition.

Liang Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "I heard that you already have a marriage contract?"

Li Zhuiyuan did not answer this question. He did not have a marriage contract, but he did not want to answer no.

Liang Li: "Have you considered taking a concubine?"

In the distance, Zhao Yi, who was fighting, couldn't help but scold:

"You two really don't know how to write the word death!"

The old Daoist who was fighting with him heard this, and his face turned gray first. This young man who had already given himself great pressure could actually be distracted to chat at this time!

Liang Yan: "You are not willing to be a son-in-law, so we sisters have to have one left, then it's better for the remaining one to be a concubine for someone else."

Zhao Yi: "Hahaha, I'm afraid your elders don't dare to agree!"

Liang Li: "My elders are very open-minded. Didn't they not stop our affairs with you?"

Zhao Yi: "You misunderstood. What I said about not daring means really not daring."

Liang Yan: "You focus on your fighting, it's been so long and you haven't finished."

Liang Li: "Still weak."

Zhao Yi was extremely angry and laughed, turning to shout at Li Zhuiyuan: "Do a beautiful job, borrow the copper coin sword!"

Li Zhuiyuan opened his right hand, the copper coins slid into his palm, and his left index finger pointed at the copper coins and flicked forward.

One copper coin after another flew out rapidly, splicing into a sword covered in thick copper rust in the air.

Zhao Yi turned over and caught the sword.

In an instant, the sword rang.

Zhao Yi had also borrowed this sword from Li Zhuiyuan's hand to play with before, but there was no such movement, because Zhao Yi was really weak at that time.

Now, he can practice martial arts normally, and as a bloodline of the Zhao family, he naturally resonates with this Zhao Wuyang's sword.

The copper coin sword swept across, and only a crisp sound was heard, and the long sword in the old Daoist's hand broke.

Zhao Yi then took advantage of the situation to lift, and the old Daoist's Daoist robe and long beard were all shattered, revealing a decaying body full of pits.

Finally, Zhao Yi rose into the air and stabbed downward.

The old Daoist resisted desperately, but the moment he went astray, everything around him carried an evil aura, and the copper coin sword was his nemesis.

In the blink of an eye, all obstacles were broken, and the copper coin sword stabbed into the old Daoist's brow.

Zhao Yi slapped, the copper coins vibrated, the old Daoist's whole body trembled, and his soul and the resentment not fully absorbed in his body collapsed cleanly.

After doing this, Zhao Yi took out the copper coin sword, wiped the fresh blood on it, and said regretfully:

"This sword must be matched with the Zhao family."

Saying this, Zhao Yi also deliberately peeked at the youth with his eyes, hoping that the youth could understand that a gentleman has the beauty of helping others.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Since you snatched my sword, then I can only go to your Jiujiang Zhao family treasure vault..."

"Hum!"

Zhao Yi slapped his palm, the copper coin sword split into copper coins and fell back into Li Zhuiyuan's hand.

He knew that this youth's array attainments were unimaginably high, and the array of his own treasure vault probably really couldn't stop this guy.

Li Zhuiyuan put away the copper coins and said to Zhao Yi: "You still hid your private parts."

Zhao Yi: "No, it's just that this old thing can't be beaten."

Li Zhuiyuan set about setting up an array to eliminate the traces here.

When everyone finished all the itineraries tonight, the sky was already dawning.

Sun Yan continued to stay in the mountains to monitor Shen Huaiyang.

Zhao Yi insisted on following Li Zhuiyuan to the reception house, and Li Zhuiyuan agreed.

On the bed in the reception house, Lin Shu You woke up and took a shower.

The sequelae of the acupuncture that night had almost recovered. In another day, he would be able to adjust his body back to its peak state.

While wiping his body, Lin Shu You talked to himself: "Tongzi, you are already in my body, why do you still need acupuncture?"

Tongzi: "The Demon-Breaking Talisman has a natural stimulating effect on divine power. The person who designed this talisman is not simple."

Lin Shu You: "Oh?"

Tongzi: "When I was needled for the first time, I felt it. This talisman is not aimed at evil spirits, or rather, evil spirits are just incidentally affected. I even suspect that the true purpose of this talisman is to admonish and drive gods."

Lin Shu You: "Oh."

Tongzi: "Even the Long Wang family wouldn't take the initiative to oppose existences like us, and shouldn't have the inheritance of this kind of talisman paper. Where did that person learn the talisman paper from?"

Lin Shu You: "It's useless to tell you, you definitely haven't heard of him."

"Dong dong dong!"

A knock on the door came.

Lin Shu You put on his underpants and walked to open the door.

The moment his hand touched the doorknob, his eyes bulged.

There was someone outside the door, but Tongzi couldn't perceive that person's aura.

Lin Shu You did not open the door.

But the doorknob turned from the outside. He was a big man sleeping in a reception house, so he was too lazy to lock the door.

Zhao Yi pushed the door and entered, holding fried dough sticks and steamed buns in his left hand, and pickles and soy milk in his right hand.

"It's you!"

"Yes, it's me. Did you miss me?"

Throwing the breakfast on the coffee table, Zhao Yi rushed directly at Lin Shu You, and the two fell onto the bed.

Lin Shu You was resisting, but Zhao Yi was no longer as weak as before. Unless A-You became a true monarch, he really couldn't beat Zhao Yi in physical strength at this moment.

A-You's eyes were gradually condensing into vertical pupils.

"Come on, you become a true monarch, just let me tell everyone that you originally liked..."

The true monarch failed.

A-You was very unwillingly pressed on the bed by Zhao Yi.

"You can, was it fun to beat the person who beat me?"

"Fun!"

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

"Beat to death next time!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yi got off Lin Shu You, sat on the edge of the bed, and let out a sigh:

"It seems that Binbin's physical condition is really bad. He should be running out of time."

Lin Shu You: "..."

Zhao Yi: "No wonder you can become so tough, sigh."

Lin Shu You: "Three-eyed boy, you are really a beast!"

Zhao Yi: "You say, how good your Brother Bin is to you. If it weren't for his mediation and recommendation, would you have today? But you..."

"Ah, let's die together!"

Lin Shu You roared, rushed up, pinched Zhao Yi's neck, knocked him from the bed to the floor, and the two wrestled again.

Outside the door, Liang Yan and Liang Li listened to the movement inside and looked at each other.

Liang Yan: "You marry."

Liang Li: "You are the sister, the opportunity is yours."

Li Zhuiyuan asked Runsheng to work hard to return to the hospital and synchronize what happened last night with Tan Wenbin.

After returning to his room, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, lay on the bed, and prepared to rest.

He wasn't tired last night, and could even be said to be very relaxed, but the energy that needed to be replenished had to be replenished. After all, the hard battle was behind.

The doorknob was turned, and the door was locked.

After a while, Li Zhuiyuan, lying on the bed, turned his head to look at the window.

A figure appeared outside the window, and the window was also locked, but he took the window off.

Sometimes you have to admire Zhao Yi's current energy. It's probably because he was a "rickets patient" for too long, and now Zhao Yi is as lively as a monkey.

Zhao Yi: "You lock the door and the window when you sleep. Are you so lacking in a sense of security?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "You are bullying A-You again."

Zhao Yi: "Not bullying him, I have a good relationship with him, just playing."

Back in Lijiang, Lin Shu You was basically responsible for taking care of Zhao Yi. In Zhao Yi's view, in the youth's entire team, only A-You was an honest man.

Following A-You, he felt at ease. At the very least, when encountering danger, A-You would instinctively pull him to run together.

"That, did you give the thing to that person from the Zhen family?"

"Hmm."

"You said you threw it in the basement."

"It really wasn't brought, it was written on the spot."

Zhao Yi took out an exquisite fountain pen from his pocket: "Then would you please?"

"Tired, sleep."

"Tired of what? I felt it when you set up and broke the array last night. Your kid's mental power is now terrifyingly rich. I even suspect that you secretly ate immortal pills and Buddha marrow!"

"After things are over, distribute according to work."

"Fine." Zhao Yi went to take a shower.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you going to sleep here?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes, save opening another room, what a waste."

"Brother Bin's room is empty."

"I've been there. There is a person refrigerated in his room. I hurriedly closed the door, fearing that the cold air would leak out and the meat inside would rot!"

Tan Wenbin has had a very relaxed few days.

Every day in the hospital, the main thing is to chat with the child Chen Jing.

The utilitarian and purposeful things were finished on the first night, and the next was purely as friends.

This child has a special temperament that makes people feel very comfortable and can heal people, just like Brother Xiaoyuan when he was used to performing.

Chen Jing also likes Tan Wenbin very much and is willing to pester him after taking care of his grandparents, although he has already caught a cold from being frozen.

The grandfather's condition suddenly worsened significantly today.

Tan Wenbin can be sure that it was not done by Shen Huaiyang. Shen Huaiyang has been under Sun Yan's surveillance. He was injured and has not left the Daoist temple for the past two days.

It can only be said that the old man's condition is like this, hanging for a long time, and then, inadvertently accelerating suddenly.

The doctor has already shaken his head. At this time, the hospital has no way.

Chen Jing accepted the reality, sat by his grandfather's hospital bed, and waited for his grandfather to close his eyes for the last time.

The grandmother did not cry or make trouble, leaned on the side, and accompanied her old companion on the last journey.

Tan Wenbin pasted a few more sealing talismans on the wheelchair to seal the cold air on his body, and then was pushed by Yin Meng to the door of the ward, accompanying quietly.

Although the days of getting along were very short, it could be felt that this old and young family were all very good people.

When grandfather could still speak yesterday, he specifically met this new friend of his grandson and encouraged Tan Wenbin to be brave in fighting the disease. After all, he was still young and had a long life to go.

Grandmother's pickles were also delicious, and she gave Tan Wenbin a lot. Yesterday, she specifically borrowed the stove in the family courtyard to cook loach, and told Chen Jing to send a basin to Tan Wenbin, saying let Tan Wenbin replenish.

Judging by experience, Tan Wenbin had long been an old Jianghu, but he was still moved by the simplicity and purity of the two old people.

Actually, from the side, Chen Jing, who possesses half-demon blood, should have a violent temperament. He shouldn't be this kind of quiet and calm personality.

Therefore, it was after living with the two old people since childhood that his heart was moistened.

Tan Wenbin suspected that this should also be one of the reasons why Shen Huaiyang later wanted to find an excuse to take Chen Jing from the two old people back to the temple.

In his eyes, Chen Jing was almost ruined by the two old people.

But Shen Huaiyang also hoped to deepen the bond between father and son, master and apprentice in Chen Jing's heart, so he couldn't use force on the two old people, at least not in front of the child.

Grandfather had already passed the stage of returning to the light, and the death aura on his body was becoming more and more intense. He looked kind, looking at his grandson for a while, and his old companion for a while, waiting for the final closing of his eyes.

Although his life was not perfect and he had many regrets, he was content. When he left, his heart was also sweet.

But just at this time, dying, some special pictures began to appear in his mind.

These pictures made him feel strange and weird, but they also gave him a certainty that they had really happened.

He saw himself lying on the bed, struggling no matter what but unable to wake up, unable to open his eyes. In his ears was the scream and scolding of his daughter on the bed in the next room, as if she was suffering from humiliation.

He saw his daughter's belly getting bigger, forcing his daughter to ask who it was, but his daughter didn't know at all. He was so angry that he wanted to go to the police station to report the case. As a result, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a Daoist standing at the door.

He saw his daughter giving birth, and he and his old companion were tied to the side, watching the Daoist change blood for his daughter who was giving birth. His daughter completed the birth in despair and then died.

But the problem is, in his original memory, things were not like this.

His daughter and that Daoist were in love. They didn't agree at first, but couldn't stand his daughter's persuasion. In addition, the Daoist practiced medicine and saved people in the village, and his reputation was very good. Thinking that although marrying a Daoist would not be easy in the future, it was considered a good person, so the two of them nodded.

When his daughter's belly was bulging, the Daoist often sent money and food, and promised them that after his master passed away, he would take his daughter and the child in her belly to live in the Daoist temple and live a quiet and beautiful life.

On the night his daughter died in childbirth, the Daoist cried bitterly and was incomparably sad. The two old people still persuaded the Daoist, saying this is fate, this is fate, the dead cannot be resurrected, and they can only take good care of the child.

Such a person, he and his old companion had actually always been so good to him, treating him as a real son. He always came when the child was asleep at night, and he and his old companion had always been waiting for him, fearing he would be hungry and cooking for him!

Even, when he proposed to take the child back to the temple, the two old people felt very relieved. The child had always missed his father, and now he could finally be with his father.

This beast, this beast, this beast!

On the hospital bed, grandfather's body began to twitch, struggling like crazy.

The condition had made him unable to speak, but his eyes were filled with anger!

"Old man, what's wrong with you, old man?"

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you, grandfather..." Chen Jing turned his head and looked at Tan Wenbin, "Brother Bin, do you know what's wrong with my grandfather?"

Tan Wenbin was silent. He knew, but he felt that the truth was too cruel for this child.

No one can accept that all their beauty comes from the false construction created after the memories of those around them were modified.

"Do you want to know?"

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the ward.

For the past few days, Li Zhuiyuan had not entered here to have contact with Chen Jing, because he really didn't like this youth, especially when he showed a smile.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Tan Wenbin: "You don't have to struggle, you can give the choice to him."

Tan Wenbin nodded: "Hmm."

Everyone has the right to choose to see the truth about themselves. Of course, doing so has another advantage, which is that it will not let himself and others bear the so-called moral burden.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the grandmother, took out a heart-clearing talisman, and pasted it on her forehead. The old man closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.

Immediately, Li Zhuiyuan walked to Chen Jing, pressed his right index finger on Chen Jing's brow, and covered the grandfather's forehead with the other hand:

"Close your eyes now, I will let you see what your grandfather is seeing now."

Chen Jing closed his eyes.

For a long time, Chen Jing opened his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed out.

Li Zhuiyuan tapped his knuckles on the old man's forehead continuously to make his mind relax and quiet. The old man's life span had reached, and medicine was useless.

In the end, the old man stopped struggling and looked at Chen Jing who was crying beside him.

Many memories in his mind were fake, but only the getting along with this grandson was real. No matter what, he was his grandson. He was naughty and irritable when he was a child, but he became more sensible and considerate as he grew up.

The old man closed his eyes. He didn't leave peacefully, but at least he ended this dying struggle and torment.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Your grandfather is gone."

Chen Jing took a deep breath, walked up staggeringly, pulled up the white sheet, and covered his grandfather's face.

The youth used all his strength, wiped his tears fiercely, and said word by word:

"I want to... kill him!"
