"The old lady has fully recovered."

"Oh."

"The old lady also finds her own actions after becoming younger to be quite fun and interesting."

"In that case, it seems there is no intention to continue fighting?"

"I was the one who persuaded her; I don't want you two to fight anymore. Fighting back and forth is only my loss."

"She is, but I am not."

"If you really want to be pedantic, you have helped me more."

"Have I?"

"Yes, without you, I wouldn't have obtained Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's black leather book."

"I only hoped you would train yourself into madness and end up in a state like mine; I certainly didn't have good intentions for you."

"Judge by actions, not by intentions."

"You are still young and relatively weak, which is why I can accept a few soft words from you. Once you truly grow up and Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face me again, won't it just be a matter of a single 'Long Wang Decree'?"

"You are joking, but you are also right."

"That is quite frank, but I am a person who is dying and also seeking death. Even if you truly grow up, what can you do to me?"

"I can let you live for ten thousand years."

"..."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan blinked and continued: "Of course, I can also help you find release sooner."

"Enough, I know the matter now, you may go back."

"There is one more thing."

"I knew you wouldn't chat with me so much if you didn't have a reason."

"I wouldn't dare disturb your peace when I have nothing to do."

"Speak."

"In a while, I need to set up a formation outside. The area of the dam is not enough, so I need to occupy a bit of the land on the edge of the peach forest."

"Continue."

"The formation is somewhat uncontrollable. I might involve some of the feng shui and atmospheric power of the peach forest here for suppression. It will disturb you, so please don't mind and bear with it for a moment; I will finish as quickly as possible."

"Kid."

"I am here."

"In your eyes, I may have helped you a few times, but not once was it because I genuinely wanted to help you."

"I know, you only helped because you were willing."

"Then what makes you think I will be willing this time?"

"Because what I am going to set up is the 'Five Senses Sealing Diagram.' Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao once used this formation to seal and end himself, although he failed in the end."

"You can get straight to the point next time."

"I still wanted to lay some groundwork and accumulate some favor, otherwise, if there's no fun next time, it would be hard to open my mouth to you."

"The word 'favor' coming from your mouth really feels strange."

"Then I will go get busy."

"Go ahead, I am watching."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan turned and walked out of the peach forest.

As long as you can see clearly the essence of its personality and then stroke it the right way, you will find that: Qing An is actually easy to get along with.

Of course, only Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan is qualified to have such a thought.

Because he has reaped the dividends left behind by Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao.

A person who harmed it deeply is still the person it cherishes the most.

As long as you can produce some traces or news about that person, you can make it happy and willing to help.

This is the charisma of Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao.

While Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was feeling emotional in his heart, a young master surnamed Zhao in Jiujiang was playing a cat's cradle game by himself, and he was also feeling emotional:

"How on earth did that Li fellow manage to make all those subordinates of his willingly bind themselves to him?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the peach forest, and the formation had already been set up.

There were three circles of altars on the dam, with a heaven-and-earth table placed at the head of the altar; no offerings were left, only incense and candles.

Below the dam, there were five sub-formations, which were five small circles, each with a small offering table inside.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan would stand in front of the heaven-and-earth table on the dam in a moment. He was the formation guide; for the specific period ahead, he would be the "Heaven" here, and the five people below would all have to make offerings to him.

It could have been less complicated. Even if Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's existence were removed, as long as the formation was set up, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin himself could seal the Five Senses Diagram into his own body during the formation's operation.

But in that case, the status between Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and those four spirit beasts would be equal.

Sometimes, absolute equality is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps at the beginning, the four of them would be obedient, but as time went on, there is no guarantee what might happen.

Therefore, it was necessary to introduce Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan as an external force to forcibly establish a hierarchy for the "Five Senses Diagram."

Everyone was waiting. When Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stepped onto the dam, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was still spinning in his wheelchair.

The two children knew they were about to leave, so they gave their godfather's wheelchair one last push.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin wore a kind smile while suppressing his urge to vomit from motion sickness.

Behind the second-floor window, Xiong Shan and Lihua watched the situation below through a gap.

Human curiosity is uncontrollable, even though Xiong Shan had just suffered a loss last time.

However, he also understood that the old lady was the old lady, and peeking here at Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's place was not a big problem. If they really needed to be isolated, he could have given word in advance, allowing his couple and Xiao Xiao Yingying to leave the bearded man's house first... oh, right, and his own son.

Lihua: "Is this about to start?"

Xiong Shan: "No rush, we must first send those two children to be reincarnated and empty their bodies before we can install the new ones."

A major reason why the dam area was not enough was that the large area near the gate was decorated with two rows of paper lotus lamps.

Both sides were also draped with Buddhist curtains, Daoist quilts, and a series of decorations used for funerals. These were ready-made and could be moved directly from Great-Grandfather's house.

They... were indeed not very useful; they were just set out to look a bit better.

A sufficient sense of ritual can dilute the sorrow of parting.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked up to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, and the wheelchair stopped spinning.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin looked left and right; every glance was one less. Even if he could see photos later, the feeling would ultimately be different.

"Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan..."

"It's about to start."

"Mm."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked behind Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and reached out his right hand to push the wheelchair. As soon as he made contact, he felt a chill, and immediately his palm was filled with blood mist, driving the cold away.

After pushing to one end of the lotus path, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan let go and began to form hand seals.

Generally speaking, sending ghosts to reincarnation is not a difficult operation. Even an ordinary funeral master in the folk can send the deceased to transcendence according to established procedures.

It's just that these two children are a bit special; they are cursed infants and originally had no qualification for reincarnation. Now they are being pushed up by relying on a large amount of accumulated merit, which makes it more complicated.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's hands did not stop, chanting the Rebirth Mantra. In front of him, paper lotuses bloomed one by one, igniting with eerie flames.

The road in the middle was originally concrete, but at this moment, it rippled with water waves.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan reached out, first pointing at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's brow, then withdrew and pointed in front of himself.

The two children on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's shoulders were pulled out. Although they had extremely strong reluctance, because it was Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan personally performing the ritual, they dared not resist.

The two children landed on the ground, somewhat dazed and at a loss.

Although born from a mother's womb, they had never been human. Having become accustomed to the life of a ghost, they felt fearful when facing reincarnation and becoming human.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin straightened his back from the wheelchair and cupped his hands, saying:

"Brothers, give me some Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face and lend the children a hand."

They were all his own people, so they would certainly give this Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, and after the two children followed Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, they had also fought side by side with everyone.

Yin Meng began the "Walking Yin," taking steps. This is a technique recorded in the Yin family genealogy and is also one of the few techniques Yin Meng knows.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the Twelve Decrees of Emperor Emperor Fengdu became the Twelve Dharma Gates of the Yin family. No matter how high-end a technique is, if the descendants lack the talent to inherit and learn it, it is useless.

However, the simple rebirth ritual added a special charm because of Yin Meng's special identity.

From the perspective of the two children, the stream ahead gradually turned into a small river.

Although their side currently has a tense relationship with the Great Emperor of Emperor Emperor Fengdu, everyone acknowledges the Great Emperor's magnanimity. No one would think that the Great Emperor would be petty with two child ghosts and deliberately make things difficult for them during reincarnation.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng does not know techniques, but he knows how to chant scriptures, mainly learned from Old Man Shan and later from Old Man Li.

It doesn't matter what the content is. His own grandfather would constantly find a few old, tattered books to recite and look at to prevent forgetting, while Old Man Li just remembered the tone.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng felt that Old Man Li's set was easier to learn and sounded better.

He began to hum in the Nantong dialect, and at the same time, his Qi gates opened, using human power to create wind, blowing the Buddhist curtains, scripture banners, and Daoist quilts into the air.

In front of the two children, standing pillars appeared on both sides of the river as guides.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You stepped out the "Three-Step Praise," and his vertical pupils opened.

From the eyes of Bai He Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Zhenjun, rays of white light were released, projecting into the front.

Like scales shimmering on the water surface, it dispelled the fog and illuminated the smooth path ahead.

The merit of the two children had already overflowed, more than enough. What everyone was doing now was just icing on the cake, seeing them off and letting them have a smooth journey.

Deng Chen stood by and witnessed this process, with three furry little light orbs protruding from his neck; everyone was watching.

The two children in front of them might be what they become in the future.

They can accept exchanging freedom for merit, and even if enslaved, at least they don't have to live in fear anymore, but what if the other party is willing to return your freedom in the future?

That is practically a good deed with no cost; the fact is, the other party will indeed do so.

It can be said that the treatment the two children received today has set a precedent for the future of these four spirit beasts.

As long as one works hard and diligently, in the future, everything that should be there will be there.

This is considered a stylistic feature of Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's team; Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan is willing to generously share the river-walking merit with his partners, and once the partners are well-off, they naturally share it generously with the spirits around them.

The reason Bai He Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi is willing to jump ship completely to come here is simple... the pay here is truly too generous.

Behind the second-floor windowsill, Xiong Shan took out a Chenzhou Talisman, first silently reciting a mantra to consecrate it, then carefully inserting the paper talisman through the crack in the window.

The paper talisman drifted down and arrived before the two children; a white light bloomed on the children's foreheads, as if they had been made up.

This is like a group gift; everyone does what they can, contributing a little bit here and there.

Seeing that it was about time, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan prepared to urge the two children toward rebirth.

From Xiao Xiao Yingying's room came the sound of Benben crying; he must have known that this was a final farewell, so Benben cried with such heart-wrenching intensity.

Below, the two children instinctively wanted to cry along and interact with this living little brother.

But as Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's gaze swept over, the two children immediately lowered their heads.

In fact, setting aside the obstruction of the window and curtains, one could see Benben in Xiao Xiao Yingying's arms; he was not crying at the two ghost brothers on the terrace, but rather, while crying, he stretched his hands forward, pointing very clearly toward the peach forest ahead.

This child is precocious.

Although not as extreme as Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was in his childhood, if one were to get serious, he could hold his own against Zhao Yi in his childhood.

Zhao Yi saw through the coldness of human relationships too early due to the crack in the Life-Death Gate, while Benben was born with yin-yang eyes and has long experienced life and death departures.

In Benben's view, since everyone else gave something, he had to give something too.

He didn't feel that what his father gave counted as his own; ever since moving here, he and his parents have become increasingly distant.

Inside the peach forest, two peach blossoms drifted over.

Xiao Xiao Yingying began to coax the child: "Alright, it's here, it's here."

Benben looked at Xiao Xiao Yingying, and his crying gradually ceased.

The two peach blossoms landed before the two children, forming a small peach blossom boat.

Apart from Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, the only one who can fleece Qing An is Benben; after all, Benben's formal name, "Xiong Yu," was given by Qing An.

That person under the peach forest is in a state of waiting for death, much like a lonely old man holding a vast amount of wealth.

Whoever can successfully please him and make him feel satisfied and comfortable can extract some gold coins from him.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan put away the yellow paper he had just pulled out; with this peach blossom boat, he wouldn't need to fold one himself.

"Board the boat..."

As soon as the words fell, two sets of clothes suddenly appeared on the two children.

One red, one green; they were very well-fitted and extremely delicate.

Xiao Xiao Yingying's eyes widened; she is now a professional paper-effigy maker, but she couldn't make this kind of paper effigy—this was no longer a matter of mere technique.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin turned his head to look north, where Li Sanjiang's house was.

On the terrace of Li Sanjiang's house, Liu Yi stood before a small fire basin, placing the two paper garments into the basin to burn.

The old lady was embarrassed about becoming young again and didn't want to come out to see people, but she didn't delay in reminding Liu Yi to burn the two paper garments.

One must show respect for the sake of the master; Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Zhuangzhuang used to keep her company and rack his brains to make her happy, so she certainly had to fulfill this courtesy.

After the Qin and Liu families declined, the old lady took the initiative to split off many forces that previously belonged to the two families, setting them free. It is true that her doorstep has become deserted, but for anyone who can still be around her, the old lady is always very kind and never stingy with those things.

Furthermore, besides Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Zhuangzhuang's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, she also had to support Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Since he is a river-walker from the Long Wang Gate, the elders in the family must show their faces when they should.

Liu Yi said to Qin Shu, who was standing beside her: "With such a grand display, I wonder which wealthy and good family they will be reborn into."

Qin Shu: "A good family is enough; it doesn't necessarily have to be wealthy."

Both of them were born into the household and were slaves to the Qin and Liu families from birth, but having been raised by the old lady, they never felt that their background was inferior.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pressed his index and middle fingers together, pointed forward, and said sincerely:

"Past life calamities vanish, future life receives compassion; now departing for rebirth, to witness a new self."

A gentle pushing force came from behind the two children, and they boarded the peach blossom boat.

The peach blossom boat began to move; the boat was very steady, flags fluttered on both banks, and the river surface ahead became increasingly vast, shimmering like daylight under the sparkling waves.

The two children turned around in unison, knelt toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin in the direction behind them, and began to kowtow.

The love they couldn't receive from their parents at birth was fulfilled at this moment.

Perhaps, the mother who had the two children refined into curse-corpses back then didn't expect that she could harvest such a perfect ending when she handed the children to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin laughed: "Go quickly, go quickly, hurry up and go; if I don't go now, my arthritis won't be any better when I'm old."

On the river surface, wind and waves began to rise.

Some of the flags on both banks were blown down or broken, and the calm river surface became turbulent.

The nature of the cursed infants caused them to be rejected, forbidding them from entering reincarnation.

However, a faint golden light radiated from the two children, and the golden light subsequently enveloped the boat as well.

Despite the wind and waves growing stronger, the boat did not capsize and continued to move forward steadily.

The contributions everyone pooled were just the icing on the cake; what truly ensured their successful rebirth was merit.

At this moment, the value of merit was concretized.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng looked at the inexplicably broken objects in front of him and scratched his head with a headache; these things were rented out by Master Li, and to avoid delaying business, he had to repair them overnight.

If he delayed Master Li's business, he would be too embarrassed to eat Master Li's food with an open stomach.

Yin Meng was the first to lose sight; her soul-traveling state was already difficult to maintain, and after the two children sailed away on the boat, her vision was just a blur of fog.

Next was Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

It was mainly because he is now "all alone" and has no way to "gnaw on the young."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You also closed his eyes; the rebirth was successful, so there was no need to keep watching.

In his heart, the excited voice of the Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi came:

"Four, four, he wants to seal four spirit beasts inside; do you know what this means!"

"Why have you suddenly become so excited?"

"Suddenly? I'm just speaking about things at each stage; those two cursed infants certainly had some tricks, but if we really compare them, whether in quality or potential, they are far inferior to those four spirit beasts.

Once he finishes fusing the four spirit beasts, he can borrow their abilities.

We are already no match for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, and next, we will likely be no match for him either."

"Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, what on earth gave you the illusion that we could compete with Brother Bin's status?"

"Ji Tong, are you really that lacking in confidence?"

"It's not that... do you know, even if Brother Bin is completely wheelchair-bound, we still can't compete with Brother Bin's status in Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's heart."

"Why not try..."

"Brother Bin's university entrance was only possible because Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan helped him with tutoring, and in university, he also lived in the same dormitory as Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan."

The Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi fell silent.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "So, do you understand now?"

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "Sigh, I understand; in terms of relationships, we really can't compete with the close attendants."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "..."

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "In terms of raw strength, we're suppressed by Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng; in terms of relationships, we're suppressed by Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin; in terms of background, we can't even compare to that little girl. Sigh, progress is so hard."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Think about it from another angle, we have no room to regress either. Look at that Chen Jing who followed the three-eyed guy; I think the premise is that Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan doesn't want to take in any more newcomers."

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "That's true, at least unlike the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva back then, who kept recruiting new yin gods."

Just then, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's gaze froze.

In the peach forest, a light "heh" also came.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't say anything; he waved his right hand, the paper lotus bloomed brilliantly, and after a burst of fire, it all turned into ashes.

"Alright, they have been reborn; now, we can proceed to the next step."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's eyes bulged.

The Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi said in his heart: "Eh..."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "What's wrong?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's peripheral vision swept over.

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "Ha!"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "What?"

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "Clearing the throat."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin tried to stand up from the wheelchair; he did stand up, but his legs were still shaking, and after walking a few steps forward, he was about to lose his balance.

Having been under physical pressure for so long, even if the two children were gone now, recovering wouldn't happen overnight.

Even a healthy person would suffer from muscle atrophy after sitting in a wheelchair for so long.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You hurried forward to support Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Brother Bin, in this state, can you still drive to Jin Ling tomorrow to see Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "You just drive."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "I'm going to Jin Ling too?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Yes, go and meet the person arranged for you."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "I can drive you there, Brother Bin, but let's forget about the person."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "It's on the way; Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun has already agreed with the classmate."

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "Go to the blind date, go to the blind date, go to the blind date."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You helped Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin down, stood his own pair of maces on the ground to serve as a crutch for Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, and let him stand in the circle in the middle.

Deng Chen also came down, sent a ring of light into each circle in turn, and finally, he stood in the last circle himself.

The five circles represent the five phases in the "Five Senses Diagram."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the Heaven and Earth table, flicked his right hand, and the copper coin sword was unleashed.

During the previous wave, after he fell unconscious, the copper coin sword had been taken by Zhao Yi to use, but after he woke up, Zhao Yi immediately returned the sword.

It was truly a case of having to return it, because Zhao Yi knew that if he dared to pocket this sword, that Li fellow would dare to set off the very next day to Jiujiang to raid his family's treasury.

If he really took two rare items away, then the Jiujiang Zhao family wouldn't lose out by making such an exchange, but the Li fellow was terrified of poverty; if given the chance, he would definitely scrape the ground bare.

The copper coin sword danced, lighting the candles, then poked at the incense burner; there was no incense, yet incense smoke curled up spontaneously.

The formation was also activated at this moment.

All around, violent shaking appeared; this should have required a large amount of preparation beforehand to maintain stability here, but Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan took a shortcut and adapted to local conditions.

The youth's left hand reached forward, making a grasping motion toward the peach forest, while his right hand wielded the copper coin sword, pulling over the Feng Shui aura from above the peach forest.

This peach forest could form a pressure covering the entire Nantong; borrowing a little bit at this moment to suppress this formation was truly a drizzle.

The formation stabilized instantly.

In the five circles below the dam, different rays of light bloomed.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan said in a deep voice:

"Ten years as the term, loyal and not rebellious, I shall grant you all freedom!"

The words were concise and comprehensive; being a slave was certain, but the indenture contract was only set for ten years.

Actually, in ten years, the river journey would definitely be finished; Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan would either drown in the river water or become the Long Wang.

Cutting it in half and setting it for five years would also work.

But five years didn't sound as good as ten years.

Having a deadline for freedom already made the four spirit beasts below feel excited, and upon hearing that this deadline was only ten years, violent shaking appeared in the four circles of light.

Ten years, to them, didn't count for anything at all; even if Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan set a term of a hundred years—one hundred, two hundred, or even three hundred years—letting them continue to endure the years as a family or sect's mountain-guarding beast after this generation passed was also a form of kindness.

After ten years, those who wanted to continue staying in Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body could stay; those who didn't want to could be set free. By then, with merit added to their bodies, not only would they become more powerful, but the drawbacks of their identity as demon spirits would also be washed away by the merit.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan held the copper coin sword and pointed it at the first circle; next, he had to call them out one by one to help Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin establish the order of precedence within these ten years.

The first one pointed at was the green ox.

"Are you willing to submit?"

The green ox bent its knees and prostrated, pressing its ox head against the ground toward Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, indicating its willingness to submit.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pointed the copper coin sword at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, signaling that it had knelt to the wrong person.

The green ox hurriedly shifted its body to Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and let out three heavy snorts.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pointed the copper coin sword at the red ape.

Before the sword tip even pointed at it, the ape had already knelt down toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin in advance.

Next was the white centipede.

It coiled its body, lowered its head, and made a gesture of submission to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Finally, there was Deng Chen.

Deng Chen opened his arms; his spirit remained in place, while his body retreated from the circle on its own, sat on the ground, lowered its head, and died.

The two-headed python first bowed to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, then bowed to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, indicating submission.

Under this process, they didn't feel humiliated.

Not only did Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan feel the need to set the rules early, but they felt it should be this way even more; without rules, they couldn't form a combined force. If Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin died on the river journey because of this, then all their future visions would end up as nothing.

Furthermore, they had all witnessed how Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin treated those two children; even if it was nominally a master-servant relationship, they believed they would definitely be able to get along very happily with Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

In fact, the reason Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan designed such a development path for Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was also because of this trait of Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Zhuangzhuang.

All four spirit beasts indicated submission.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin let go of the maces and knelt on one knee toward Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, because at this moment, according to the process, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan represented the "Heaven" presiding over this ceremony, and was also the arbitrator of the contract.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan threw the copper coin sword; the sword body spun in the air and inserted itself into the ground in front of Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

The youth joined his hands together and began the condensation of the "Five Senses Diagram."

This was a formation created by Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao, and Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had once received Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's inheritance in a dream; the youth was very familiar with his things and learned them faster.

"Black python as the eyes!"

The two-headed python's spirit body turned ethereal, becoming a pair of eyes.

"White centipede as the ears!"

The white centipede's spirit body disintegrated, turning into a pair of ears.

"Green ox as the nose!"

The green ox raised its head, its whole body transparent, leaving only a nose.

"Red ape as the tongue!"

Red liquid overflowed from the red ape's body, turning into blood, within which a tongue was flapping.

Finally,

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

The seal in his hands was formed with some difficulty at this moment, and the operation of the formation also fell into a bottleneck.

Regarding this, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not panic; the final closing process was inherently the most difficult point.

However, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had originally wanted to skip a step, but now it seemed he should forget it; only by following the most ancient and primitive process could he ensure the success rate.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan said:

"Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin as the pig!"

"Pfft..."

Yin Meng almost laughed out loud and hurriedly pinched Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng beside her to suppress her laughter.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You turned his back, opened his mouth, and breathed deeply, tears almost flowing out.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng laughed generously:

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Zhuangzhuang pig head."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan continued: "Yellow pig as the mouth, the five senses are formed!"

The black python's eyes, the green ox's nose, the white centipede's ears, and the red ape's tongue all flew toward Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

"Ah!!!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin let out a miserable scream, knelt on the ground, and gripped the soil in front of him tightly.

This kind of fusion was equivalent to enduring the pain of replacing eyes, ears, tongue, and nose; this raw, cutting sensation was real.

However, the pain would only last for this moment; after the four spirit beasts all gathered within Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body, with the previous experience of raising the two children, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin could fully adapt.

Under this scene, no one continued to laugh.

Moreover, even though the painful process had not yet ended, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin forcibly supported himself on the ground and stood up again.

This kind of resilience and courage was truly worthy of admiration.

For this point, he had to thank Three-Eyes.

What Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was thinking about in his mind right now was him; thinking about how ruthless that Young Master Zhao was to himself, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin felt that he also had to choose to Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face the pain directly.

Fresh blood constantly overflowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose; Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin stood there, his expression ferocious and twisted, gasping for breath.

This state lasted for an hour.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had almost become a bloody person.

However, his originally weak body began to recover its Yang energy at this moment due to the injection of the four spirits.

Except for his hair, which hadn't had time to turn black and remained completely white, his entire temperament first recovered to his previous normal state, and then further improved, forming an aura that belonged uniquely to him.

The Five Senses Diagram, complete!

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand, returning the Feng Shui aura he had borrowed from the peach forest; after the formation lost its suppression, it shattered directly, and all the formation flags turned into powder.

The sensation of pain on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body disappeared; he subconsciously took a deep breath, then was surprised to find that he could actually taste the various flavor components in the air.

In his field of vision, the surrounding world seemed to have another layer of interpretation, which greatly increased his confidence in learning Zhao Yi's secret arts.

The surrounding sounds became very clear, as if his past self had been a deaf person.

Under the peach forest, Qing An clapped his hands lightly: "Interesting."

One is the sigh that Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao had sealed his own five senses back then to seek a successful suicide;

The second is the sigh that Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was not replicating Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao's Five Senses Diagram from back then, but was reversing it to perform a reorganization.

Qing An raised his head and looked at the night sky.

Different from Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao, who didn't care about anything after his river journey succeeded, this youth carried the responsibility of the Long Wang sect on his shoulders, and showed human touch earlier than Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao.

Although this river journey was all done quietly, the future influence of the two was completely different.

"If you really manage to complete the river journey and become the Long Wang, then the entire Jianghu will be boring for a hundred years."

Behind the second-floor windowsill, Xiong Shan and Lihua finally woke up from their shock.

Everyone's stance and level are different, so the scenery they see is also different.

Lihua: "This, this, isn't this washing the marrow and cutting the bones?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin himself had a bit of talent; if he worked hard, he could also eat from the Xuanmen bowl, but in the Jianghu, talent like his was actually a dime a dozen and not eye-catching.

Xiong Shan's talent was much higher than Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's; without exceptional talent, it would be impossible to successfully rise from the grassroots in the difficult opening situation.

But now, looking at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin below, that state of "sharp ears and bright eyes" was almost visibly ethereal.

In this state, no matter what he wanted to sense or learn, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Letting a genius advance further is easy for people to get used to, because that is the patent of a genius, but elevating someone with ordinary aptitude to a genius is truly frightening, because most people belong to the ordinary sequence.

Xiong Shan: "I don't know if our little Benben will be able to enjoy this kind of treatment in the future."

Lihua: "There should... be, as long as we continue to work hard."

Xiong Shan: "Yes, there will be, there definitely will be!"

The couple once again saw a magnificent prospect for their struggle.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin leaped up and jumped onto the dam.

Then his mind went blank, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng opened a can of Jianlibao and handed it to him.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "This is Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge's treatment."

After finishing it, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin said: "Hungry, so hungry."

Yin Meng: "Grandpa Li will be heartbroken to death."

Looking at this, there is going to be another big rice bucket in the house.

Her master, Liu Yi, clearly makes home-cooked meals for a few people, but now the feeling of cooking every day is about the same as making mass meals in a factory.

Lihua ran down: "Wait, I'll go cook!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin sat down, and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You leaned over and said:

"Brother Bin, look, your body has recovered almost enough, you can drive yourself after you're full, so I don't have to accompany you to Jin Ling, right?"

Young people are generally resistant to things like blind dates at first, until their fragile self-esteem is shattered by age and reality.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "No, we have to go together, it's already agreed, if you don't go..."

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The pager rang; it was likely affected by the formation earlier, causing the signal to be interrupted.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin picked up the pager, took a look, and said:

"Alright, you don't need to accompany me to Jin Ling tomorrow."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You let out a long sigh of relief: "That's great."

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "No!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun has already set off for Nantong. The car your blind date is driving will probably arrive in Nantong by dawn. You and I will go together to pick them up."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "..."

Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi: "That's great."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Why are you putting on such a dead look? She had her own car when she was in college, and her family background is very good. Whether she likes you or not is another matter, yet you're the one suffering first."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You raised his head, for the first time in his life, beginning to fear the dawn.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "You guys tidy up, I'm going back first."

"Okay, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan."

"Understood, Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge."

Before Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan left, he specifically looked at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and instructed: "Eat something good during this time to make up for the deficiency in your body."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Guarantee to complete the mission!"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan returned home. While passing the first floor, he took a stack of yellow paper and picked up two paper boy effigies.

The paper effigies were very light, and picking them up took no effort at all.

Arriving at the second-floor terrace, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't rush to rest in his room, but first placed the paper boy effigies by his side, took out the yellow paper, and threw them outward one by one.

The yellow paper ignited spontaneously in the air, fluttering and drifting, finally landing on the ground in two orderly rows.

The paper burned out, but the ashes formed a small path.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan reached out and grabbed forward.

Emperor Emperor Fengdu Twelve Decrees: Restrain Spirits and Dispatch Generals.

But this grab caught nothing.

It must be because his preparation work was too sloppy and he was too eager to save trouble.

But it was already late at night, and Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was a bit tired. Furthermore, it was inconvenient for others to know about this matter, as it would increase their... increase his psychological burden.

Therefore, letting Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan arrange it himself, the workload was still not small.

At this moment, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan remembered what his true self had told him: use the "Liu Family Qi-Gazing Art" to simulate the Great Emperor's aura, and then use the Emperor Emperor Fengdu Twelve Decrees to enhance the power of the technique.

Although doing so would further provoke the Great Emperor, thinking that even the "dog lazy" had already been sent, the Great Emperor probably wouldn't bother to care about this little bit right now.

His left hand gripped the air, and the surrounding Feng Shui phenomena flowed according to the youth's will. A layer of faint black mist rose from behind the youth, and a crown could be vaguely seen standing on his head.

His right hand stretched forward again, using the previous technique once more. It had to be said that the amplification was indeed very obvious.

Under the sloppiest arrangement possible, the two children were "grabbed" out by Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, and they stepped onto the path paved with ashes.

At this time, there was not a trace of the curse-infant aura on them, only the purest souls remaining.

The merit on their bodies and the blessings everyone gave at the beginning indeed allowed them to successfully go for reincarnation.

But at the extremely far end of that river, where others' gazes could not reach.

Only the person under the peach forest and Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan witnessed it; the Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi should have sensed something.

The two children, at the moment before they were about to successfully reincarnate, actively jumped off the peach blossom boat!

They gave up the opportunity to reincarnate into a wealthy family themselves, using all their merit only to wash away their karmic debts and cursed bodies, turning themselves into the most ordinary infant souls.

The two children held hands and walked to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Fear was carved into their bones; even now, they were still very afraid of Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

The two children let go of each other's hands and knelt down tremblingly before Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

A perfectly good opportunity to reincarnate into a wealthy family was actively tossed away by the two of them.

You must know that Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had specifically suffered for a period of time just to let them have a good reincarnation.

The two children began to kowtow to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Stand up and speak."

The two children felt Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's dissatisfaction and wanted to stand up, but were so scared that they lay directly on the ground.

They were no longer cursed bodies; as ordinary, pure souls, they were naturally suppressed even more strongly in front of Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the two paper boy effigies beside him.

The two children immediately drilled into them.

The paper effigies "came alive" and began to beg.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded after listening.

Actually, when he saw the two children jump off the boat, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had already guessed what they were going to do.

"Then these paper effigies are not suitable for you to stay in. If a soul stays outside for too long, it will be polluted and generate resentment."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked into the room and took out a blank scroll from the painting table.

This was the scroll A Li used to paint the River Map. The materials were precious because ordinary materials could not withstand the karma of the river at all. Most likely, halfway through painting, the scroll would be dirtied or stained by various accidents, or even inexplicably ignite for no reason.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan opened the scroll toward the two paper boy effigies.

"Come in."

The two children's souls immediately flew out of the paper effigies and drilled into the painting.

Inside the scroll, a scene of two children playing and frolicking appeared, but the surroundings were blank, appearing very monotonous.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan spread the painting out and placed it on the painting table.

The two children had just begged Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan for two things:

One thing was not to tell Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin about their existence. This was also the reason why they deliberately waited for the boat to travel so far before jumping off, because they also knew that without their help, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin couldn't see very far.

The other thing was that they were willing to wait quietly in a corner, actively giving up the opportunity to reincarnate into a wealthy family, just to silently wait for Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin to have children, they...

Wanted to be Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's true children.
