Chapter 286

Overhead, thick layers of clouds drifted by, gradually blocking the sun and casting shadows.

First, the Ksitigarbha Hall grew dark, followed immediately by Li Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi, who were standing at the hall entrance; all were enveloped.

The wind also began to howl at this moment, carrying with it not the precious coolness unique to summer, but gusts of eerie chill.

That is how the Fengdou scenic area is; even when the sun is bright, it can make tourists feel a chill through to their bones.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "I always thought we were self-aware enough, but the facts prove that our self-awareness is still far from enough."

In the past, Li Li Zhuiyuan very consciously defined himself as a blade, and he also acknowledged the necessity and inevitability of needing to be that blade while he was still relatively weak.

But the problem is, being a blade is fine, but the youth truly did not expect that the hands gripping the hilt would not only be one or two... but even more.

Everyone seems to think he is useful and wants to borrow him, without even bothering with the order of arrival, leaving the "blade" confused, not knowing who exactly is wielding him.

Zhao Yi walked to the youth's side and comforted him: "Think on the bright side; while you are not yet strong enough, you will always need to face those existences stronger than you."

Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "What I am thinking about is whether this realization now counts as late."

Zhao Yi: "It shouldn't count, after all, although we have arrived at the Fengdou region, we have not yet entered the true Fengdou."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Then adjustments are still in time."

Zhao Yi: "No, what I mean is, regardless of who pushed this wave, we still do not belong to the people qualified to sit at the table, and besides, since we've gone to the trouble of coming, why not just let nature take its course?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "If we hadn't realized it and were still being kept in the dark, we certainly should do that."

Zhao Yi: "It is rare to be muddled, Brother."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Go back to the car, do me a favor; I need to start this wave from the beginning and re-deduce it."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment and asked: "I am not expressing opposition, I am just curious, what is the significance of doing this?"

"Do you feel that, as a blade, we actually haven't grasped our own power?"

"At least for now, yes."

"Having self-awareness is, in itself, one of the values of us being a blade."

Li Li Zhuiyuan did not go into the Ksitigarbha Hall to take a look, but instead returned the way he came.

Zhao Yi stood still on the spot.

When the youth sat back in the car, Zhao Yi also opened the car door and jumped in. Before he was even seated, he couldn't help but ask:

"Li, what is your true purpose for walking the river?"

"Before things are done, pondering too much on this and that is not only meaningless, but it is also a form of laziness and avoidance."

"You are avoiding my question. Is it because even you find this answer difficult to speak of? Or are you saying that you walk the river just because you find it interesting and fun?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Borrowing your brain for a use."

The youth closed his eyes, and in his mind, the image of all of them sitting in their small pickup truck and Chen Lin's sedan, about to leave the Nantong region, appeared.

The next moment, the image retreated, and everyone's steps and actions began to play in reverse, all the way until...

"Little Yuan Hou, your phone call has come~"

Auntie Zhang Shen's high-pitched voice opened the prelude to this wave.

In the image, Li Li Zhuiyuan went to answer the phone and had a conversation with Xue Liangliang.

"Little Yuan, that, there's a problem with the engineering in a certain place. If you have time, I hope you can go and take a look..."

"Brother Liangliang, where is the engineering?"

"Fengdou."

In reality, on the truck.

Zhao Yi lit a cigarette and took several fierce drags.

His left hand pinched the cigarette butt and clenched it, the Life-Death Gate seam on his chest rotated rapidly, and his right hand was placed on the youth's head as he closed his eyes.

With Zhao Yi's participation, Li Li Zhuiyuan unceremoniously divided the deduction of the memory images into several parts.

While in Nantong, facing the Four Marshals and Eight Generals when leaving Nantong, the Three Incense Sticks, meeting Zhai Lao, the Ghost Monk, and the dirty evil in the service area restroom.

Besides this, the youth also separately extracted the memory of the invisible eye contact with the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at the very end of the Undersea Guarding Zhenjun Temple.

In the driver's seat, Zhao Yi opened his mouth, making noise in his throat, and his closed eyelids trembled constantly.

If it were just memory backtracking, the consumption would be extremely low, and both he and the youth could easily complete it, but the problem is, the youth brought memory image deduction along this time.

Moreover, Zhao Yi discovered that Li was focusing on using his, Zhao Yi's, brain this time, while Li was keeping his own in reserve.

After a long time, the deduction was completed.

Li Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes, and Zhao Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sighing:

"Li, you just stand up and pedal hard on other people's brains, right?"

"Hard work."

"I'm saying, you didn't have such a hard time when deducing techniques, right?"

"Hmm."

"Did you gain anything?"

"Yes."

"Tell me."

"To say it is to assign tasks."

"You assign them. I've become a lone commander again now, can I still fight you for the captain position?"

"You didn't agree, did you?"

"That was a prior discussion. When it's time to actually do things, there's no need to think about other things. You should be clear about the reason for my prior resistance."

"You are very glad that if this wave was not pushed by the Great Emperor but by the Bodhisattva, then with the Great Emperor's loss, the 'curse' the Great Emperor imposed on you and your entire clan could be resolved."

"To be precise, it should be that if we were pushed to target the Great Emperor this time... the result of winning or losing is tied to my entire clan, then I could feel more at ease in my heart.

But I discovered, Li, your stance is not standing on the Bodhisattva's side."

"I reject longevity because not one of the 'longevity seekers' I have seen has had a good end. I like to judge by results."

"Then the Bodhisattva and the Great Emperor..."

"Out of an absolutely biased personal stance, I have seen how people who follow and believe in the Bodhisattva are abandoned by the Bodhisattva.

But I, relying on the real-but-nameless inheritance relationship with the Great Emperor, have not spilled little causal dirty water on the Great Emperor, and the Great Emperor only expressed anger...

If this wave was indeed not pushed by the Great Emperor, that means the Great Emperor actually still hasn't punished me.

Having a stance, shouldn't that be?"

Actually, there is another reason, which is inconvenient to say to outsiders and not suitable to be used as a reason, and that is that in Sun Baishen's memory, Li Li Zhuiyuan saw Wei Zhengdao's evaluation of the Bodhisattva, which was very negative.

Zhao Yi: "You are actively increasing the variables of this wave."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you assigning tasks or not?"

Zhao Yi: "Assigning. Actually, it's the same principle. I have seen with my own eyes how many benefits people who follow you can get. Li, you have always been very generous. This is your reputation, just like your choice between the Great Emperor and the Bodhisattva."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "You should return to the auspicious burial site where the Three Incense Sticks are located now. You once lamented that you couldn't have a good chat with that tomb owner, right? Now, I'll make up for that opportunity for you."

Zhao Yi: "Is it waiting or operating in advance? You should at least make the task assignment more detailed."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "As you wish, I trust your ability."

Zhao Yi: "I thank you."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "You still have to carry someone."

Zhao Yi: "Which one?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Lu Runsheng, drop him off at the town where we stayed before us."

"Understood."

Zhao Yi started the car, drove the truck out of the parking lot, drove down, and arrived at the entrance of the previous unit, where Li Li Zhuiyuan got out of the car.

The two security guards walked over with impatient expressions, wanting to continue driving the car away. Zhao Yi didn't wait for them to come over, drove the car down, and after avoiding their line of sight, stopped at an open space on the side of the road.

Not long after, Lu Runsheng walked over and got into the car.

Zhao Yi: "Setting off."

Lu Runsheng: "Hmm."

Zhao Yi: "Aren't you curious why we are going back the way we came?"

Lu Runsheng: "Not curious, Little Yuan told me to go back, so I go back."

Zhao Yi: "Lu Runsheng, I'm asking you for a favor."

Lu Runsheng: "Speak."

Zhao Yi: "Help me look after that pair of sisters, if conditions allow, don't watch them die."

Lu Runsheng: "Hmm."

Li Li Zhuiyuan had just answered the phone; Luo Gong and Xue Liangliang and the others had already transferred to a taxi in the county town and would arrive here to meet up soon.

He sat alone on the bench outside the unit's conference room, waiting quietly.

Inside, Zhai Lao and the others were holding a meeting to connect the situation.

There were many people coming and going in the hallway, but the youth sitting here would not arouse suspicion; bringing a child to the unit is very common these days.

Tan Tan Wenbin and Lin Lin Shu You, as adults, can currently only sit on the roof of the conference room.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Brother Brother Binbin, Three Eyes and Lu Runsheng, why are they going back?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "You are referring to why they have to go back the way they came?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "Hmm."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "If we don't walk to here, then the things behind won't be able to happen. This is a necessary process."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Oh, I seem to understand a little. Brother Brother Binbin, can you explain it in more detail?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Ayou, do you know why I explained it so vaguely to you?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "Brother Brother Binbin wants me to use my own brain to think?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "No, it's because I don't really understand either."

After entering the Fengdou region, Luo Tingrui and Xue Liangliang got off the bus and transferred to a taxi.

The woman also got off. Xue Liangliang said that the location of her home was very close to the unit they were going to, so it was just right to continue on the same way.

Luo Tingrui nodded while saying what a coincidence, while insisting on helping the woman hail a taxi. After agreeing on the address with the driver and paying the fare in advance, he signaled for the driver to drive away first.

Xue Liangliang could only stand outside, separated by the car window, watching the woman leave.

Luo Tingrui sighed, not in a hurry to hail the second car, but instead took out his cigarette case and lighter. Following a pregnant woman all the way, he hadn't been able to smoke comfortably.

As he smoked this cigarette, his brow furrowed more and more severely.

He didn't understand; Liangliang was usually such a smart person. The woman herself said her home was very close to the unit, and you actually dared to ride in the same car to send her home?

On the way, the woman spoke very little, and Luo Tingrui was sleeping most of the time, so he didn't hear much about the woman's background, and thus didn't know if the home in Fengdou the woman was returning to was her husband's family or her maiden family.

If it was her maiden family, you accompanying her back, are you planning to claim the one in the woman's belly?

If it was her husband's family... you really dare to go, you!

"Teacher, should I hail a car?"

"Liangliang."

"Hmm?"

"Liangliang!"

"Teacher, please speak."

"In terms of work, I am very satisfied with you. Among my former students, at your age, the only one who could handle things alone is you."

"I am very grateful for your cultivation, Teacher."

"But regarding personal life problems, you must pay attention. You must nip things in the bud, and even more, sound the alarm."

"Teacher..."

"It looks like the impact isn't big now, but if you want to continue moving up and want to exert greater value to realize your inner ambitions, then it will become your huge hidden danger."

"Yes, I understand, Teacher, I will keep your teachings in mind."

Seeing Xue Liangliang's attitude of admitting his mistakes was so good, Luo Tingrui's heart couldn't help but soften a bit. Mainly, he truly liked this young man he had cultivated with his own hands. His wife even said that their own daughter seemed like she was fostered, and Liangliang was his biological son, and he didn't refute it.

"Liangliang, some things, Teacher can understand."

Even Luo Tingrui had to admit that that woman was indeed very beautiful, especially the temperament she possessed, which is truly rare in the contemporary era.

"Teacher..."

"Everyone has the freedom to pursue personal happiness, but you must first determine whether the person has divorced."

"She..."

"How long have you known each other? Wasn't it the first time you met on the train? You believe whatever she says?"

"I..."

"Besides, how do you want to handle the child in her belly? You are still young, and you haven't reached the point of considering being a stepfather."

"Teacher, I am determined to..."

"Alright, let's stop here with this matter, don't mention it again. We are a teacher-student relationship, after all, not father and son. Some things, it's better to leave to your parents to worry about; I won't share the burden."

Xue Liangliang opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded and agreed.

Patting his beloved student on the shoulder, Luo Tingrui encouraged: "Cheer up, exclude personal emotions, facing work, you should be clear about how many people and how many families this project involves. Many people have already paid a lot, a lot, and we must be responsible for their payment."

"I understand, Teacher."

Luo Tingrui hailed a taxi, and after sitting in, he reported the address to the driver, and by the way, urged: "Driver, faster."

Immediately, Luo Tingrui was preparing to ask Xue Liangliang about the contact situation with Little Yuan, but who knew that the next moment, the taxi shot out like an arrow from a bow with a "buzz" sound.

Thunder on flat ground is fine, but speeding in this mountainous area is truly stimulating.

Luo Tingrui could only grab the handle above the car window and tense his body.

Soon, the destination was reached.

The driver patted the steering wheel and asked: "How about it, fast or not?"

Luo Tingrui: "Fast."

After the two got out of the car, Xue Liangliang paid the fare, and then the driver drove away slowly.

An out-of-town accent, requesting speed, that is equivalent to a stimulant for a taxi driver.

Tidying up his clothes and hair, Luo Tingrui brought Xue Liangliang into the unit.

Just like when Zhai Lao and the others came before, Luo Tingrui's arrival also drew many people to welcome them, and there were more people, and they were more enthusiastic.

"Little Yuan."

Luo Tingrui saw the youth in the crowd at a glance, stepped forward, touched him affectionately, and looked at him.

Afterwards, he nodded to Lin Lin Shu You and Tan Tan Wenbin, who were standing behind Li Li Zhuiyuan.

After simple pleasantries, the group went to the conference room together.

When knocking on the door to enter, Zhai Lao turned to the side and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Luo Tingrui took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Zhai Lao.

"Zhai Lao, you have worked hard."

"I'm an old bone, while I can still move, I must use it more." Saying this, Zhai Lao introduced the disciples beside him for recommendation.

When the introduction was halfway through, Zhai Lao turned his head and looked at the youth standing behind Luo Tingrui, but he didn't rush to ask, but after a pause, introduced all his disciples.

Luo Tingrui also introduced the students he brought. When introducing the youth, Zhai Lao smiled, and the crowd of disciples behind him also revealed surprise one after another.

Zhai Lao bent down and pinched Li Li Zhuiyuan's face:

"Little guy, you can really keep a secret. Come, show Grandpa a surprise, say you didn't expect Grandpa to be in this line of work too?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan revealed a shy smile.

Luo Tingrui asked: "Zhai Lao, you know each other?"

Zhai Lao nodded: "Met on the road, but didn't know he was your student. I thought he was really in elementary school."

Luo Tingrui: "Hahaha, don't blame this child, he reported to me on the road that he met a respected senior, it was I who told him to keep it secret, I was afraid my future treasure would be pried away by others."

Zhai Lao knew that Luo Tingrui was deliberately smoothing things over; if he had really reported it, how would he ask if they knew each other.

However, the old man was not angry; he had always thought highly of this child and thought about whether he could introduce him into this line of work in the future. Who would have thought that the person was actually already in this line of work.

Thinking that he had once advised him to study hard, hmm, advising a college entrance exam top scorer to study hard.

Zhai Lao said to Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Follow your teacher and learn well, work hard, your teacher's ability is recognized in our industry."

Luo Tingrui: "Learning from each other, learning from a hundred schools. Come, everyone sit, continue the meeting, I told the reception party, let's not go to eat lunch separately, tell them to divide the plates and send them over, we will talk while eating."

"Hmm, as it should be, come, please sit."

Both sides took their seats, several main speakers continued to report, while Zhai Lao and Luo Tingrui leaned together, telling him about the points worth noting in the previous meeting.

Li Li Zhuiyuan and Xue Liangliang were organizing and looking at the document materials on the desk while listening to the report, Tan Tan Wenbin was taking meeting notes, and after Lin Lin Shu You sat for a while, he went to help distribute the boxed lunches.

This was Li Li Zhuiyuan's first time coming into contact with such a large project. Strictly speaking, these people sitting here, including this classification department, only belong to the tip of the iceberg of this large project. The aspects it involves are really too many, too many.

The meeting was held in one breath until dusk, during which people kept coming to join, and more people would come at night. The small conference hall couldn't sit everyone, so they had to move to the large conference hall.

Dinner was still boxed lunches, but there was an extra hour of rest time, mainly to wait for the subsequent attendees.

Some meetings are held for the sake of holding the meeting after the time and place are set in advance, while some are because specific people have come, and the meeting can only be held.

Li Li Zhuiyuan held a boxed lunch in his hand, while Xue Liangliang held two, and the two walked to a quiet terrace.

The woman appeared.

Xue Liangliang smiled at Li Li Zhuiyuan, and the woman behind Xue Liangliang avoided his line of sight and bowed gently to Li Li Zhuiyuan.

The three sat on the ground and began to eat.

The woman picked up the meat from her own boxed lunch and gave it to Xue Liangliang.

Xue Liangliang: "You eat too."

The woman: "I have enough, eating it won't be a waste."

Xue Liangliang: "Come, I'll feed you, don't look at it being in a boxed lunch, but the one who cooked the dishes is a local master."

The woman: "The dishes here are indeed delicious."

The two were in love.

Li Li Zhuiyuan ate his own meal silently. The youth knew, how could Lady Bai need to eat?

However, the youth also saw that the two were now cherishing the experience of this normal married life.

After finishing the meal, Li Li Zhuiyuan said to the woman:

"You should go back."

The escort mission should end here.

Although the woman was reluctant in her heart, she did not look at Xue Liangliang, but responded with a quick nod:

"Yes."

Xue Liangliang swallowed his saliva, endured it, and did not plead or try to keep her.

"I'll take the lunch boxes away, you two talk."

The woman collected the three lunch boxes together, looked at Xue Liangliang one last time, bowed to Li Li Zhuiyuan again, and then turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the corridor, turning into nothingness.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Liangliang, if she stays here, there will be danger."

Xue Liangliang nodded: "Little Yuan, I understand."

Next, the situation here in Fengdou, Li Li Zhuiyuan cannot control; leaving a pregnant woman here is really not appropriate.

The two walked side by side, slowly toward the conference hall.

Xue Liangliang: "Little Yuan, you must pay attention to safety, if there is anything you need help with, just tell me."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "I will, Brother Liangliang."

Xue Liangliang: "These few days of going out are the happiest memories of my years."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Treaties are indeed meant to be torn up."

Xue Liangliang's face turned red immediately.

At the beginning, he would rather die than yield, and fought hard to get a treaty that only allowed them to meet after a long time. He originally thought this treaty was to restrain Lady Bai, but it turned out that the one being restrained was actually himself.

Xue Liangliang: "I didn't feel it before, but now I find that the thoughts of people at every age stage are really different."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you feel you have changed a lot?"

Xue Liangliang: "That's why the preciousness of idealism is highlighted; it is the only thing that doesn't fade and can illuminate every stage of your life."

In the large conference hall, there were more people, many of whom were dirty, having just returned from frontline surveying.

Although Luo Tingrui and Zhai Lao had the highest industry status here, when discussing, the smell of gunpowder still gradually rose, plus they were basically all chain smokers, and it was smoky; those who didn't know would really think a war had started.

By three o'clock in the morning, the meeting ended, not only because a lot of consensus had been argued out, but also because everyone was sleepy, and many dirty people were already snoring against the wall.

The guesthouse is right next to the unit, with excellent scenery and views, facing the Ghost City scenic area directly. If you push open the window at night and look a few more times, you won't lack material for nightmares at night.

Tan Tan Wenbin was rubbing his left and right wrists there forcefully; he really recorded from beginning to end.

Lin Lin Shu You finished drinking the water in the thermos in his room first, then ran to Li Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Tan Wenbin's room to continue pouring water.

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Ayou, are you that thirsty?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "Hmm, thirsty to death."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Weren't you busy pouring tea all the time?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "So busy that I didn't even have time to drink a sip myself."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Haha, you can also be considered a 'wearer of silk who is not a silkworm raiser'."

After Lin Lin Shu You poured another large jar of tea, he asked: "Do you want to go out and walk around?"

When Little Yuan came to Fengdou last time, he was not yet in the team.

Tan Tan Wenbin: "I can stay and watch."

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Then let's go to Ghost Street and stroll around."

Lin Lin Shu You happily followed Li Li Zhuiyuan and left the guesthouse.

At this hour, Ghost Street had long been quiet, but Ghost Street at this hour has the most atmosphere.

During the day, there is a constant bustle of hawking, and the breath of the living is too thick; at night, ghosts will come out to wander.

Lin Lin Shu You walked while curiously looking around: "Did Yin Meng live here before?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to a shop and stopped; the signboard on the shop had been changed to a clothing store, but originally this was the coffin shop opened by Yin Meng.

When leaving Fengdou, Yin Meng sold the coffins left in the house to the neighbors at a discount, and the shop was also sublet.

At that time, Tan Tan Wenbin suggested that even if the shop was not opened, it could be closed and left here; anyway, the rent was not expensive, so that when they came back in the future, they could leave a thought, after all, this was not only a shop, but also Yin Meng's home.

But Yin Meng's attitude was very firm, she just wanted to sublet it. I don't know if Yin Meng regretted it later, but at that time, she should have been urgently wanting to escape from here.

At this time, Lin Lin Shu You's expression became solemn.

He perceived that behind him, a black shadow was approaching here.

When Ayou first woke up from serious injury, he could be so weak that he couldn't even beat two evil ghosts, but after waking up, the recovery speed of the partners' injuries would be very fast.

Because the spirit beast in Tan Tan Wenbin's body and the child in Lin Lin Shu You's body, as long as they recover, they can think of ways to accelerate the healing process themselves.

Plus, there is Zhao Yi, who, like performing magic, constantly takes out "the last one".

Li Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand, signaling Lin Lin Shu You not to act rashly.

Lin Lin Shu You suppressed his aura, and his vertical pupils did not open.

That black shadow wore a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, but inside it was empty.

It seemed very curious. After approaching, it looked at Lin Lin Shu You and the youth, and then walked to the shop entrance.

"Creak..."

A door panel was removed from the inside.

The black shadow took out copper coins from its pocket and threw them into the water vat that would be placed at the entrance of almost every shop here. The copper coins floated on the water without any sign of sinking.

Inside the shop, a faint light seeped out.

The black shadow walked in.

Afterwards, a delicate woman's face poked out, and seeing that there were two big living people standing here at this hour, she looked very surprised.

She stretched out her hand and waved, as if testing whether they could see.

Lin Lin Shu You stared, eyes unblinking, as if he really couldn't see.

He felt that he performed very well, without revealing a single flaw.

Li Li Zhuiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Thirsty, want to go in and ask for a cup of water."

The delicate woman hesitated for a moment, nodded, removed another door panel to expand the opening area, and signaled them to please enter.

Li Li Zhuiyuan walked in.

The delicate woman asked: "Is the one behind you a blind person?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "No."

The delicate woman revealed a puzzled expression. After they entered, she installed the door panel back, isolating the outside.

Lin Lin Shu You curiously asked: "Little Yuan, why did she say I am a blind person?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "She is a living person, a big living person waving in front of you, why are you pretending not to see?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "..."

The decoration inside the shop had not changed, and even the original counter had been preserved.

In the inner room, the place that was once used by Yin Meng to put coffins was now set with several rows of clothes racks, with many clothes and hats hanging on them.

Purely from the perspective of a clothing store, the goods were clearly insufficient; it didn't look like it was specifically rented to sell clothes, but rather like it was specifically used as a cover.

Behind the counter sat a thin man, his upper body normal, his two legs atrophied. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a chair, face-to-face with the black shadow wearing a coir raincoat, and should be talking about walking the underworld.

Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't deliberately listen to the content of their communication. After sitting down on the bench nearby, he reached out to take the tea handed over by the delicate woman and said thank you.

The business over there was finished, the black shadow got up and left, and the delicate woman went to help it open the door.

The man opened his eyes, revealed fatigue, squeezed out a polite smile, and asked:

"May I ask the two, what brings you here?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Revisiting old haunts, just want to come in and take a look."

Man: "Are the two the original owners of this shop?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "It's my friend's."

Man: "So that's how it is. We are in the business of walking the underworld. When choosing a stall at night, we found that there would always be lonely ghosts stopping and staying at the entrance of this shop. It just so happened that this shop was closed, so we went to the street office and rented it."

As you can see, the business is not bad."

Opening a shop to do business, the most important thing is the flow of people. This shop position is located in the middle of Ghost Street, which is a quite poor position, because no matter what business you do, as long as the business is good, both ends are suitable for inserting a shop to intercept your flow.

Of course, Yin Meng's business was bleak before... it didn't have much to do with the shop position; which tourist would buy a coffin and take it back while shopping?

In the early years when Yin Meng's grandfather opened the coffin shop, the business should have been okay, but the old man didn't expect that with the development of the county town and the rise of tourism, this place would become a tourist street.

However, the flow of people is not good, but the flow of ghosts here is.

This is thanks to Yin Meng's grandfather, even when he was in a coma in a coffin, he would still walk the underworld at night to do business. Over the years, he had accumulated ghost energy and formed a reputation.

The man began to introduce himself. His surname is Zhang, called Zhang Chi, and his younger sister is called Zhang Xiuxiu. The brother and sister are from Fuling.

The old Zhang family used to make a living by fortune-telling and divination, but for several consecutive generations, they were born with defects, either born disabled or getting rare diseases after adulthood.

Hearing this, Li Li Zhuiyuan can basically determine that it should be that a generation of the old Zhang family broke the rules.

The fortune-telling industry actually won't suffer heavenly punishment, and it doesn't matter if you reveal heavenly secrets. Li Li Zhuiyuan himself is good at this, and now seeing a stranger, looking at his face first is almost a habit of his.

What really invites backlash is that your purpose for revealing heavenly secrets is to seek profit for yourself. People have a greedy nature, especially for those with ability, this greed is basically very difficult to control.

But if you profit from this, then the Heavenly Dao will make you vomit it back double. Perhaps it won't be retribution on you, but it can make your descendants born with original sin.

But even knowing this, this industry never lacks people who break taboos. If you exclude those scammers without ability, those who are serious and really understand a bit of the way basically all "have defects," and gradually a stereotype formed: ordinary people feel that if you are not blind or disabled, you have no ability.

Zhang Chi did not formally salute and report his family name, so Li Li Zhuiyuan simply responded with the names of the two of them, without diverging.

The original intention was just to sit and revisit old haunts. Li Li Zhuiyuan planned to leave; he could go back and sleep for a while before dawn, and he had to have a meeting tomorrow morning.

But just as he got up and prepared to say goodbye, Zhang Chi opened his mouth to dissuade: "The two should wait a bit longer, going out at this hour is not very appropriate."

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

Zhang Chi: "If it were ordinary people walking the night road at this hour, it would be nothing, but the two are able to see those things. Going out at this hour is easy to be affected."

Zhang Xiuxiu looked up at the wall clock and said: "Brother, it's time, it's coming."

Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and said to his sister: "Xiuxiu, push me over."

The stool under him was a wooden wheelchair. Xiuxiu pushed him out from behind the counter, came to the entrance, then helped her brother down from the wheelchair, found a cushion, and he knelt down.

Immediately after, Xiuxiu began to arrange the offering table, set up candlesticks and fire basins, and placed them inside the shop threshold.

After doing these, Zhang Xiuxiu looked up and watched the clock.

Outside on the street, the sound of neat footsteps came.

Zhang Chi: "It's coming."

Xiuxiu immediately went to remove the door panel, then retreated and knelt beside her brother.

The sound of footsteps on the street got closer and closer. Even if Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't walk the underworld, he could hear the faint music and gongs.

Besides, even standing in the shop, one could see several candle flames reflected from the front and back, meaning that there were quite a few people like Zhang Chi who opened ghost shops.

Zhang Chi turned his head and said to Li Li Zhuiyuan: "If the two want to watch, then kneel down; if you don't want to kneel, then please return to the inner room, otherwise, it will cause trouble."

Saying this, Zhang Chi took out two more cushions from his side and placed them behind him.

He probably felt that these two guests should be willing to kneel down.

Who knew, after he finished speaking, the two guests retreated to the inner room.

Zhang Chi was slightly stunned, but didn't think much, straightened his posture again, and lowered his head.

The footsteps approached. Soon, people wearing uniform robes lined up in two teams and walked past the street.

They each had a deep white face, so white that the facial features on the face became a very disharmonious burden.

Immediately after, a large palanquin appeared, carried by "people" wearing different styles of clothes, with curtains swaying lightly above, sitting on it was an underworld noble from who knows where.

Although they retreated to the inner room, they could still see the scene outside through the gaps in the clothes.

Lin Lin Shu You asked: "Little Yuan, is this a fixed program for Fengdou Ghost Street every night?"

Ayou felt that if it were really like this every night, then it would be truly worth it for tourists to travel to Fengdou.

There are live performances during the day and ghost parades at night; it's simply a program without gaps all day long.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "No."

When Li Li Zhuiyuan came last time, he didn't encounter this situation, and recently it wasn't a temple fair day.

Furthermore, last time on the whole street, only Yin Meng's grandfather opened a ghost shop here.

This time, not only did this appear at night, but the number of ghost shops also suddenly increased a lot.

This shows that during this period, the flow of customers here is very sufficient, otherwise it wouldn't be able to support so many ghost shops.

Round after round of teams passed by. Each round of teams had a main seat, either riding a palanquin or sitting in a sedan or simply a large table. Some of the nobles on it couldn't see clearly and didn't want to show their faces, and those who could see clearly were often strange and varied.

Lin Lin Shu You watched with great relish.

In his hometown, there was a tradition of wandering gods, and there were many similar activities, but they were all played by people, echoing back and forth, setting up stages and shrines, but that was just an imitation of human activities. Where could there be such authentic ones?

Of course, this is Fengdou; it is understandable that such a situation appears.

If such a scale of hundred-ghost night parade appeared in his hometown, wouldn't the official generals be exhausted?

"Click... click... click..."

This friction sound, although it had a bit of ethereal quality, was clearly metallic, and unlike the neat footsteps of the previous teams, it was now very messy.

Not long after, when a new round of teams appeared, those clearing the way on both sides were a group of armored soldiers.

They were all damaged armor, pitted and bumpy, and the soldiers inside were the same as the front ones, with pale faces, and their steps were inconsistent when marching.

The one in the middle of the team didn't use people to carry him this time, but rode a horse himself, with a tall and straight posture, heroic and spirited, but without a head.

Moreover, accompanied by the advance of the team, these soldiers wearing armor would break away from the team and run to both sides.

Several candle flames outside also flickered because of this; it should be that quite a few ghost shops had things enter.

Two ghost soldiers stopped at the entrance of the clothing store, broke away from the team, and walked in.

Zhang Chi was not surprised by this scene. He signaled his sister to start burning paper.

Xiuxiu lit the paper money and placed it in the fire basin.

But the two ghost soldiers were not satisfied and still stood in front of the Zhang brother and sister. One of them even leaned its extremely pale face toward Xiuxiu.

Zhang Chi: "Xiuxiu, add offerings."

Xiuxiu responded, took out a bottle, and poured the red liquid inside into the fire basin. Immediately, there was a "sizzle" sound, and a wisp of gray mist rose.

The two ghost soldiers began to inhale fiercely, and a bit of comfort appeared on their pale faces.

But they still didn't move their steps to leave.

The previous blood should be animal blood, it could be chicken blood or cow blood, which had been wrapped in incense ash and left to stand.

If ordinary paper money is compared to white rice, then this kind with added ingredients is equivalent to fried rice, which will be a little better to enjoy.

It's just that when ordinary people make sacrifices, they don't need to engage in these tricks. If you don't know the formula and add blood without authorization, it's easy to stimulate the originally gentle ghost objects into fierce evil.

The two ghost soldiers before his eyes were not stimulated into fierce nature; they were just too greedy and didn't feel satisfied.

Zhang Chi: "Xiuxiu, pour wine."

Actually, there was wine on the offering table, but that was ordinary wine.

Xiuxiu took out another bottle, pulled out the stopper, and poured the wine on the ground in front of her.

From the perspective of walking the underworld, the wine energy that should have fallen downward went against the trend and was inhaled by the two ghost soldiers.

The ghost soldiers' figures began to sway, and a flush appeared on their pale faces.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi felt relieved, thinking that he had dealt with it.

But who knew, after one of the ghost soldiers "drank" the wine, it further leaned its face toward Xiuxiu, sniffing on it, as if intending to absorb something.

The other ghost soldier didn't pay attention to Xiuxiu, but instead leaned toward Zhang Chi, and in front of Zhang Chi, made the same action.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Little Yuan, what does this mean?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "The King of Hell is easy to pass, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with."

The headless general riding on the horse had no interest in dismounting to do anything, but he also didn't control his subordinate ghost soldiers to collect filial piety.

The vast majority of the ghost street are shops opened by ordinary people, and many people take the shop as their home, but the ghost soldiers only harassed the ghost shops and didn't go to offend ordinary people.

This means that the order of Fengdou is actually still there.

They know what things can be done and what things must never be touched.

But correspondingly, extortion and taking advantage of ghost shops is a kind of hidden rule.

One is because those who can open ghost shops are not in the category of ordinary people;

Second is that if a ghost shop wants to continue operating, it cannot offend them. Even if they are ten thousand times unwilling in their hearts, they still have to flatter when they should, and pay filial piety when they should.

On this point, whether it is the underworld or the human world, they are connected.

The human world can actually be cheaper; if it really doesn't work, at worst, you just don't do it. But those who open underworld shops are not seeking gold and silver wealth but underworld merit. Just like Zhang Chi, he hopes that his condition will not continue to deteriorate, and also hopes that his sister will not get strange diseases like him.

With this demand, their tolerance is higher.

But no matter how tolerant, there is a limit.

The ghost soldier in front of Xiuxiu clearly wanted to molest her. Although it had no physical body, it could also create illusions through lewd thoughts.

Just like when ghost-pressing-bed occurs under certain specific circumstances, you also don't know what the ghost pressing on you is actually doing.

Xiuxiu's figure gradually leaned backward. She gritted her teeth tightly, her hands clenched, and anger flared in her eyes.

Zhang Chi bit his lip, his hand reaching toward his sleeve.

This shop had been open for a while. The situation of hundred-ghost night parade in front of the door didn't exist at the beginning, and later when it did, everyone could deal with it. It was nothing more than doing a superficial form to show respect and sending them away.

When greedy ones came in, they would take out the filial piety prepared in advance. Basically, after eating the filial piety, they would also exit quickly and wouldn't do anything excessive.

But tonight, they encountered a special case.

They, they were actually greedy to such a degree.

Zhang Chi looked at his sister. He couldn't watch her be humiliated. Ghost or not doesn't matter. Since he can see ghosts, he couldn't use the excuse that ghosts are not people and it doesn't matter to deceive himself.

Xiuxiu was also forcing herself to endure, her peripheral vision constantly looking at her brother, waiting for her brother to make a decision.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Little Yuan, this is too much, should we take action?"

Lin Lin Shu You, who possesses a simple sense of justice, naturally couldn't stand this classic bridge of "bandit soldiers molesting a good family woman".

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Wait for them to take action first, otherwise if you take action, they will blame you for why you took action, making them unable to do business."

Lin Lin Shu You nodded immediately; he felt that Little Yuan was very right.

Li Li Zhuiyuan actually also wanted to actively throw a stone in to explore the reason for this change in Fengdou. At this time, naturally, he had to find an entry point himself.

This hundred-ghost night parade looks like a big formation, but looking at it now, the youth didn't perceive even one existence that could be called a big shot.

Just like the headless general riding on the horse outside, judging from its ghost energy, it is far from the ghost general he encountered when he just left home.

This group of guys should not be the local forces of the underworld, but more like ghosts from outside, forming a group to come and worship.

At the beginning, a decree from the Fengdou Great Emperor made the ghost brake thousands of miles away run and exterminate the clan for him, which shows that although the Great Emperor is seated in Fengdou, his influence is extremely far-reaching.

The ghost soldiers kept pressing down, and Xiuxiu's body continued to lean backward. Just as she was about to be unable to support herself, and Zhang Chi was also preparing to take out the ruler in his sleeve to fight the ghosts...

The ghost soldier who had been sniffing around Zhang Chi but was ignored by Zhang Chi stood up straight, kicked the ghost soldier in front of Xiuxiu, and red light flashed in its eyes, as if venting some dissatisfaction.

The ghost soldier was kicked over, and Xiuxiu was able to escape the devil's claws.

Zhang Chi clenched the ruler, didn't pull it out, and didn't understand the situation at this time.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Little Yuan, what's wrong with them? Is the other one having a change of heart?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "One is unbalanced, feeling that it didn't find its favorite object, so it doesn't want the other to get happiness."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Object?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Didn't take a fancy to Zhang Chi."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Ghosts actually have this kind of hobby?"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Ghosts were people before they died, people have it, can't ghosts have it?"

Lin Lin Shu You scratched his head: "This, I really didn't pay attention to it before."

Before, when Lin Lin Shu You encountered ghosts, it was always a shout of "Evil ghost, only kill, not save~", then he would start the ritual and suppress the ghost. Where would he give the ghost a chance to reveal its unique hobbies?

The two ghost soldiers stood in a stalemate, and suddenly, they collectively looked at the inner room.

Zhang Chi previously let Li Li Zhuiyuan and the two go to the inner room if they didn't intend to kneel.

Because those ghosts, even if they come in, won't go to the inner room.

There is a gray area here. The inner room can be understood as the dwellings of ordinary people around, which cannot be violated, but the right to interpret the gray area is not in the hands of the shopkeeper himself. The inner room of a ghost shop... can also be considered part of the ghost shop.

The "line of sight" of the two ghost soldiers wandered over.

Ordinary people walking the night road being stared at by ghosts like this would inevitably have their hair stand on end.

Lin Lin Shu You closed his eyes immediately, not letting his vertical pupils open directly due to stimulation.

At this time, the ghost soldier who had been sniffing around Zhang Chi before walked toward the inner room.

Its body passed through the clothes blocking in front of it, and its gaze fell on Lin Lin Shu You.

Lin Lin Shu You, who had just calmed down his vertical pupil instinct, opened his eyes, saw the ghost soldier standing in front of him staring at him, and asked in confusion:

"Little Yuan, what does this mean?"

"It has taken a fancy to you."

Lin Lin Shu You: "..."

The ghost soldier naturally couldn't see the Bai He Master Tongzi hidden in Lin Lin Shu You's body, but firstly, an excellent official general ritual child naturally has an attraction to the yin body, otherwise he wouldn't be able to accept the descent of the yin god; secondly, after Lin Lin Shu You's body was transformed by the child, this true monarch body, even if it was just that little external manifestation, was enough for the yin body to regard it as a warm bed.

Of course, the most important thing is that, aside from the Mandarin with a bit of accent, Lin Shu You himself is indeed handsome and dashing.

The ghost soldier opened its mouth, its tongue hung down, extending to the neck, step by step, leaning toward Lin Lin Shu You.

This time, it was Lin Lin Shu You's turn to look at Li Li Zhuiyuan with a pleading gaze.

Xiuxiu and Zhang Chi also turned their heads to see the situation in the inner room. Xiuxiu revealed anxiety, while Zhang Chi, after seeing what would happen next, lowered his head.

He was struggling, struggling whether to save or not. However, since he chose to struggle, he definitely wouldn't save. The struggle at this time was just to make his conscience feel a little better.

Li Li Zhuiyuan definitely wouldn't be angry with him, it was just a chance encounter, people he had just met and chatted with for a while. For ordinary people, it is impossible to offend the outside and make their own shop unable to open just to keep them from being humiliated.

After all, not everyone is Lin Lin Shu You.

However, Li Li Zhuiyuan still felt that Zhang Chi's choice was very stupid. After this ghost soldier found its favorite object, who can guarantee that the other ghost soldier won't retreat and continue to pester Xiuxiu?

They are all people in the mysterious sect who can see ghosts. If they really want to protect their sister, it's better to take the opportunity to take action now, at least they can have two "unknown depth" helpers to gamble on luck.

This is the choice that maximizes benefits.

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Take action."

Lin Lin Shu You's vertical pupils opened, he reached out, grabbed the ghost soldier's neck, and broke it, "Click", there was no physical body, but there was a sound effect. For this kind of ghost object, for the Bai He, it was really a plaything that couldn't be more convenient.

The next moment, Bai He True Monarch's palm faced downward, fingertips rotated, the ghost soldier's body that had its neck broken contracted upward, quickly squeezed and worn away. Before its soul flew away and scattered, True Monarch Adult invited it to experience the joy of being crushed to bones and ashes.

This is enough to show that the Bai He that was in Ayou's body before was also disgusted to the extreme.

A dignified former ghost king was actually coveted by this kind of mongrel male ghost. If this really spread out, his Bai He would have to become the biggest joke in the ghost world.

The other ghost soldier still in the room was stunned by this scene. Not only did it not expect that the people in the ghost shop who had always been submissive would dare to fight back, but what it didn't expect was that the other party dealt with its companion simply and cleanly to this extent.

Bai He True Monarch took a step forward, and a phantom of a trident condensed in his palm and threw it forward.

"Puff..."

The trident sank into the ghost soldier's body. It opened its mouth, and before the scream could be issued, dense holes appeared on the ghost body, and with a "bang", it collapsed directly.

Xiuxiu opened her mouth in astonishment. If she had resisted before, she could only fight for her life with the ghost soldier, but this person could easily abuse and kill the ghost soldier.

Zhang Chi's eyes widened forcefully, and a strong regret suddenly surged in his heart. He even wanted to slap himself twice. Why didn't he just pull out the ruler to help them beat the ghost soldier just now?

He can now be certain that the identities of these two guests who came to sit today are definitely not ordinary. If he can climb into a friendship with them, the benefits to him will be absolutely unimaginable.

Now, is it late?

No, it's not late!

Hot blood surged immediately, and Zhang Chi prepared to pull out the ruler to make amends.

But at this time, the headless general riding on the horse turned toward this side.

A terrible resentment rolled into the shop, instantly extinguishing the hot blood that had just risen in Zhang Chi's brain. Zhang Chi shrank back, and the ruler still couldn't be pulled out.

The ghost soldiers outside began to gather at the shop entrance.

Zhang Chi's body was trembling.

When Li Li Zhuiyuan and Bai He True Monarch walked here, Zhang Chi buried his head very deeply.

He now has a very complex heart. On the one hand, he feels that the headless ghost outside is very powerful, and there are so many ghost soldiers, as well as the large scale of the hundred-ghost night parade outside. Resisting here is simply looking for death; on the other hand, he is also extremely anxious about gains and losses, fearing that the other party really has the ability to survive; besides this, he also hopes that the other party can leave his own shop quickly and take the trouble "they" caused outside the shop.

Li Li Zhuiyuan and Bai He True Monarch indeed didn't stop and walked straight toward the outside of the shop.

Although Lu Runsheng and the others are not here, having a Bai He True Monarch by his side who is already eager to "start a massacre" is enough.

Furthermore,

Although this is Fengdou,

But,

This is Fengdou after all!

When Li Li Zhuiyuan came to Fengdou last time, he had only learned the toddler version of the Yin family's twelve methods from Yin Meng's grandfather.

Now, he masters the full set of Fengdou's twelve decrees.

This wave of his own has a high probability of dying in Fengdou, and he even actively increased the variables himself.

But he doesn't believe,

That he, who possesses the Great Emperor's inheritance, would die miserably on the streets of Fengdou Ghost Street in such an extremely absurd way.

Just as he walked to the offering table at the shop entrance, the headless general on the horse drew his sword, first pointing at Bai He True Monarch. After discovering that Bai He True Monarch was following behind the youth like a guard, he pointed the sword at the youth.

This is also because Bai He True Monarch didn't reveal all his aura and deliberately suppressed it, otherwise, that person wouldn't still dare to ride on the horse so leisurely.

The sword body hummed slightly, and clusters of blue ghost fire extended from under the horse's hooves. The ghost soldiers blocking the way avoided one after another. This ghost fire spread on the ground eventually connected with the offering table at the shop entrance, and even the candle flames on the offering table exploded for a while, turning blue.

The other party's meaning is very clear; it requires the youth to kowtow and kneel to it himself, and then listen to its disposal.

Li Li Zhuiyuan saw from this move that it didn't dare to kill people in Fengdou at will.

Just like people in the mysterious sect like to use the name of Heavenly Dao to shirk responsibility for themselves before doing things that don't follow the rules outside, this Fengdou... also has its own Heavenly Dao.

The headless ghost on the horse is making a disclaimer that belongs to it.

Bai He True Monarch has already killed two ghost soldiers, but the other party still cannot directly kill him, and there is still fear.

This shows that the other party also knows that its ghost soldiers entering the ghost shop to cause trouble does not follow the rules.

The underworld really has a place to reason and judge, and the suppression of these ghosts is quite large.

It is also true, if there were no such rules to suppress them, how could the living people in this city live a normal life.

The headless person's sword body was raised again, and the blue candle flames flickered constantly, as if urging them to kowtow quickly.

It was waiting for Li Li Zhuiyuan to refuse. As long as Li Li Zhuiyuan refused, it would have a reason to take action personally or urge its subordinates to capture and kill them. It believed that with the style of Li Li Zhuiyuan and the two killing its two ghost soldiers quickly before, how could they kneel?

However, soon, its headless body shook on the horse's back, because it saw that the youth walked to the cushion and tidied up his clothes.

Is this, intending to kneel?

Xiuxiu moved away, gave the front of the offering table to the youth, and comforted him: "It's okay, it'll be fine after kneeling, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses."

She was truly out of good intentions.

Zhang Chi raised his head, looking at the youth's back. Seeing that the youth intended to kneel, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but also a little glad. The expectation fell through, but it seemed the expectation wasn't that big either.

Bai He True Monarch's vertical pupils blinked, wanting to reach out to support and stop the youth's action, but after reaching out continuously, he retracted it.

Master Tongzi: "Dissuade him, say you would rather fight to the death than let the Lord be humiliated!"

Lin Lin Shu You: "He set up the game himself, set the table himself, lit the candles himself. If Little Yuan kneels, can he bear it?"

Master Tongzi: "Of course I know he can't bear it, what kind of thing is he! I want you to perform, seize the opportunity!"

Lin Lin Shu You: "Not going, it will make me look very stupid."

Master Tongzi: "Do you still want to advance or not!"

Lin Lin Shu You: "Master Tongzi, I understand more and more now why you couldn't advance successfully before."

Master Tongzi: "..."

All these arrangements were set up by the headless ghost itself, equivalent to a ritual of accepting worship.

Li Li Zhuiyuan followed the process, his left hand downward, virtually brushing the non-existent robe edge.

Just this action, the blue candle flames suffocated fiercely.

The headless person on the horse's back shook continuously, and an extremely ominous premonition appeared in its heart.

Li Li Zhuiyuan's right arm swung backward.

The warhorse under the headless person let out a whimper and collapsed directly to the ground.

The headless person seemed to have realized something; this guy's fate is definitely problematic!

It raised the sword body again, wanting to extinguish the ghost fire on the ground and interrupt this kneeling ritual set up by itself personally.

But accompanied by the youth's gaze narrowing slightly, the blue flames were completely out of its control and could not be extinguished.

The headless person got off the collapsed horse's back in a panic, holding the sword, wanting to rush over and force a stop.

Li Li Zhuiyuan's right foot took a step back.

"Plop!"

"Thump!"

It struggled to beg for mercy, even throwing away the long sword, wanting to kowtow together, hoping to offset it with this move.

In the past, in his hometown, when Li Li Zhuiyuan followed his great-grandfather to attend funerals, he would deliberately avoid this kind of direct kneeling, and even when burning incense and paper, he had to deliberately turn around and couldn't go straight up.

He knew that his fate was not ordinary now, and too many things were pressing on his shoulders.

The family members of the deceased paid money to invite his great-grandfather to come over to beg for the deceased to rest in peace better. He had no reason to let people come to a soul flying away and scattering and not being able to transcend.

The only descendant of the Qin and Liu Dragon King lineage, plus although he had not been officially recognized and conferred by the Great Emperor, because he mastered the Fengdou inheritance, a phantom of the Great Emperor had long appeared behind him.

This head,

Please enjoy it!

Looking at the flustered headless general in front, Li Li Zhuiyuan's left leg bent, and his figure moved downward.

Just moved down a few inches.

"Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!"

On the offering table, on the street, the blue candle flames exploded collectively, and the headless general's body "bang" sounded, turned into a ball of ghost fire, and collapsed directly!

In an instant, the whole street was silent.

Xiuxiu looked at the youth's back, as if an ordinary person saw a ghost for the first time, her mouth was completely open, and her breathing was rapid.

Zhang Chi's eyeballs were about to pop out, tears were flowing out of his eye sockets in a hurry, and he really wanted to scream.

Accompanied by the collapse and death of the headless general, those ghost soldiers driven by it, actually chang ghosts, let out wails one by one, their figures twisted, and finally dissipated into nothingness.

This movement, for the residents sleeping soundly in Ghost Street, was like a strong wind blowing up at night, disturbing people's sleep, but fortunately, the strong wind stopped quickly, and those who slept deeply didn't notice it at all.

The team in the later round followed at this time and continued to move forward.

The one clearing the way below didn't look sideways and walked straight forward. The noble person carried on the palanquin by them took the initiative to reach out and push aside the curtains, revealing a girl's face, and bowed to Li Li Zhuiyuan.

The noble person in the next round was also like this.

Fortunately, there were not many rounds left. The hundred-ghost night parade ended here, and the street returned to rest.

Li Li Zhuiyuan looked at the disappearing figure of the team in front, and a thought appeared in his heart. Before, he thought about the method of entering Fengdou, which was probably taking the waterway and entering the Yin family's ancestral grave.

The feasibility of this method is open to question, there are no technical difficulties, the problem is... that place defaults to entering are Yin family deceased, logically there may be big trouble.

Not to mention anything else, whose ancestral grave is a gate that is always open to welcome guests from all directions?

And, who would have nothing to do, idle and bored, and go to their own ancestral grave to stroll around?

In case you spent a lot of effort to get in and found that the Yin family ancestral grave is a dead end, what should you do?

Now, it seems that the ghost gate of Fengdou is open, and he can find a way to enter from the front door, which is much more calm.

Lin Lin Shu You twisted his neck, his vertical pupils dissipated, and he returned to normal.

"Little Yuan, shall we go back now?"

"Hmm, go back."

Zhang Chi crawled on the ground with both hands, knelt at the shop entrance, kowtowed to Li Li Zhuiyuan's back continuously and forcefully, and shouted:

"My sister and I have had a bitter life since childhood, suffering from this strange disease, and being tortured by illness. I ask the senior to show mercy and save me from the sea of suffering. My sister and I will be eternally grateful and will always remember your kindness!"

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you hungry?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "Hungry."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "There must be nothing to eat at the guesthouse at this hour. Keep an eye on whether there is a breakfast shop that has opened and is preparing to operate. Buy whatever there is."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Okay, Little Yuan."

Zhang Chi kowtowed his head "bang bang bang", but the figures of the two in front were getting further and further away.

Xiuxiu wanted to help her brother with heartache, but was pushed away by her brother.

Zhang Chi turned around, lay on the threshold, panting heavily, while his gaze was listless.

On the way back to the guesthouse, they really encountered a breakfast shop that had already lit up. Although the meal was not fully prepared, Lin Lin Shu You still bought steamed buns and soy milk.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Little Yuan, you eat."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm not hungry."

Lin Lin Shu You said while gnawing on a steamed bun: "Really hard work, actually opening the shop so early."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm, breakfast shops have always been one of the hardest trades."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Little Yuan, I have been pondering, what kind of shop to open in the future."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Not opening a temple anymore?"

Lin Lin Shu You: "I wanted to open a temple before, now I have become a traitor to the official generals, I can't go back to my hometown to open a True Monarch Temple and fight against my grandfather and master."

Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Then open a coffee shop in the village."

Lin Lin Shu You's face stiffened, and then he couldn't help but laugh himself: "Hahaha!"

Just as he walked to the entrance of the guesthouse, Lin Lin Shu You's steamed bun was also finished.

Lin Lin Shu You expanded his shoulders, ate and drank enough, went to take a nap, and after getting up, continued to go to the conference room to pour tea and water.

Li Li Zhuiyuan stopped his steps and looked outside the corridor.

Lin Lin Shu You: "Hmm? Hmm!"

Ayou also reacted. Outside the corridor, two black shadows had just flashed by. They were not ghosts, but people, and their skills were outrageously good.

Li Li Zhuiyuan saw a bit of familiarity from the other party's skills. He should have experienced it before.

The destination the other party was rushing to was exactly the building where Li Li Zhuiyuan and the others lived. Zhai Lao and Luo Tingrui and the others also lived there.

"Buzz!"

A red figure fell from the window above and intercepted the two black shadows. No need to guess, it was Tan Tan Wenbin in the blood ape state.

"Hey, I've been watching you two for a long time, always groping around the periphery and not coming in, making me wait until I was almost asleep."

The two black shadows pounced on Tan Tan Wenbin. As soon as the two sides made contact, they were bounced away by the blood energy on Tan Tan Wenbin's body.

Lin Lin Shu You said to Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Little Yuan, you wait, I'll go help Brother Brother Binbin catch those two scumbags!"

The next moment, the two black shadows that had just been bounced back by Tan Tan Wenbin all stood still, left hands spread out, right hands clenched into fists, and stomped their feet with one foot!

Two sharp auras descended on the two of them, and then, the two chanted in unison:

"Official General, evil ghost~ only kill, not save~"
