Chapter 348

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the two large sacks of books outside the door:

"Help me move them into the room."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "Which room do you choose?"

This wooden house has two floors, each with a living room and two bedrooms.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "We will sleep downstairs, and you will sleep upstairs."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan nodded, picked up the sacks, and walked into a room on the first floor.

The living room was simple yet elegant.

In the stove built of stones, the charcoal fire was burning.

There was a small winding path paved with pebbles, entering from the north wall and exiting through the south gate, possessing the style of a meandering stream.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng fetched water and set the kettle on the stove to boil.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked over, pulled out a small stool, and sat down.

Seeing this, the partners knew it was time for a meeting.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, stood up, picked up the boiling kettle from the stove, poured four cups of water first, then looked up at Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan and poured another cup.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You sat upright, adjusting his breathing; every time there was a meeting, A You was very active and engaged.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng widened his eyes, staring at the murmuring water in front of him, while thoroughly shutting down his brain.

No one spoke; in the living room, there was only the crisp sound of charcoal crackling in the stove from time to time.

They had waited for quite a while, but the meeting had not yet begun.

Previously, Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan had only asked Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan to carry the sacks in, but she had been inside for so long and still hadn't come out.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin stood up and walked to the room door.

He saw Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan arranging the books from the sacks onto the desk, having already categorized them.

It had to be said that in terms of being utilized, she really had great awareness.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Miss Chen, we are all waiting for you."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "Is it time to eat?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Didn't you and Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan already eat on the third floor earlier?"

When meals were delivered to the third floor earlier, the second floor had a share too; everyone had essentially eaten at the same time.

It was just that the three brothers' appetites were astonishing, and the prepared food was clearly insufficient; when Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng asked "Is there more?", it gave Master Shi a huge fright, and he hurriedly urged people to add more dishes.

It was mainly because Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng had previously commented on the texture of lion meat, but no matter how unpalatable something is, when you are not full, it is still food.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "It's not time to eat, what are you waiting for me for?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "A meeting."

This term was very fresh to Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan.

She nodded, walked out, followed Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin to the living room, sat on an empty stool, and reached out to pick up the cup of hot water in front of her.

With everyone present, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan first gave a simple summary of the current experiences of this wave, then synchronized the information and speculations he had obtained with his partners, and finally, organized and laid out the next goals and directions.

This was Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's long-standing habit; he did not like things to be murky, and he would never hide anything from his partners. The newly revised "Code of Conduct for River Walking" after each wave was also required reading for the partners, and even Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng had to be able to recite it.

A team with true combat effectiveness is never muddled; instead, everyone is clear about the current situation and clear about what is to be done.

Without avoiding Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan, the youth reviewed what had happened between Yu Tiannan, the old dog beside him, and that evil entity in the karst cave under the Dujiangyan.

After Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan finished speaking, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin picked out the key points and difficulties and repeated them once more.

The meeting ended.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin took Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng out of the wooden house; the three of them were now going to stroll around the village to explore the environment here.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng went to the fields.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin went to the ancestral hall.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You went to the fruit orchard and played with the group of little squirrels.

By the stove, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan picked up the kettle and refilled his cup with hot water.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan placed her empty cup in front of him.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan helped her pour some as well.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "A very special feeling; if I follow you on a river walk, it seems like I don't even need to bring my brain; I could completely leave it at home."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked at Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan's forehead.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan tapped her temple with her knuckles: "I brought it."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "You should talk about the meeting content, not the meeting atmosphere."

The youth sat down.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "That old dog also mastered that evil entity's memory modification ability?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "To be precise, it's modification, grafting, replication, cutting, and implantation."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "If that's the case, doesn't that mean it can be immortal?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Yu Tiannan is dead, and that old dog is also dead; they, in fact, are already dead."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "You don't regard the continuation of memory as the continuation of life?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Mental shock technique, you know it, right?"

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "Of course I do; it's a very common and simple type of technique, and many sects and families have similar methods."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "This kind of mental shock technique, if used on an ordinary person with a weak will, has a certain probability of shattering that person's spirit, turning them into a mental patient.

In essence, this incredible memory evil technique is no different from this ordinary mental shock technique, except the former has one extra step, making the mental patient believe they have become someone else."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "This analogy is very apt, but it can go from one body to another, as if it can be endless."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "It cannot be endless; memory has vitality, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kill that evil entity back then.

Therefore, I am more inclined to view that evil entity's ability as an infectious disease, an infectious disease targeting the level of mental consciousness."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "Very mysterious stuff; once explained by you, why does it suddenly feel so down-to-earth?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Only the unknown can bring mystery; when I first encountered a dead-walker in the small river in my hometown, I also felt she was incomparably mysterious and terrifying."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "What kind of dead-walker was it, daring to swim in front of the Long Wang family's ancestral home to act recklessly?"

The youth discovered that Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan seemed to have a talent for always shifting the focus to inexplicable places.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stood up with his cup and walked toward his room.

Sitting behind the desk, he checked the covers and tables of contents of these books on the table.

Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei was indeed a very honest person.

He said he would go get the books, so he went to get the books, and furthermore, he not only did not hide anything but, based on his understanding and cognition, deliberately brought over the most valuable books.

Even if he were more simple-minded and had seen less of the world, he would still know the value of these books.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan stood at the room door, stood on tiptoe, and looked through the pile of books at the youth sitting behind.

"What do you plan to do next?"

"Read books."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"You only have these two or three days of free time; how much can you read?"

"It's enough."

"Then have you thought about how to refuse that grandfather?"

"No need to refuse.

Next, others will be pushed by the river water due to various coincidences, discover this place, enter this place, and then, like us, be entertained by the grandfather.

As long as we don't give a clear reply, we will inevitably be 'beaten to the punch'."

"Then why were we the first batch to come in?"

"Because the Heavens favor me greatly."

"This is a bowl of poisonous arsenic."

Indeed, if it were really a good thing, how could it be my turn first?

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan felt that the Heavenly Dao was probably very eager to let him think he had picked up a huge bargain and drink this bowl of arsenic directly.

The youth: "If you feel bored, you can stroll around the village and ask Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin to help you take some photos."

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "I'm not that bored either; alright, you read your books, I'm going upstairs to heal my wounds, striving to recover a bit more."

After the woman went upstairs, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan also completed the categorization and organization of the many books on the table.

In fact, not a single one needed to be moved; Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan's previous categorization was already very reasonable.

Others would deliberately act clumsy to hide their own strength, and one would have to observe and analyze meticulously to see through their true colors.

Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan was the opposite; she displayed her strength completely from the beginning, and you have to rely on this to constantly correct the misunderstandings her image brings you.

He picked the first book, took it down, and opened it.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's gaze immediately narrowed slightly.

The book title on the cover didn't show details, but the text inside was clearly a handwritten version, not even a transcript, because the handwriting was not neat, looking more like a student's study notes.

Below the main text of many paragraphs, he would use a cinnabar pen in different colors to write down his own insights directly.

This meant that what Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei gave him was not a textbook, but the "Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan Secret Scroll" he compiled based on the textbook, and it even came with the answers.

Was it to curry favor with Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan?

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan immediately denied this speculation.

Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei did indeed have a good impression of Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan, but that was just originating from emotion, stopping at propriety, and hidden in the heart.

He would not do such a presumptuous and rude thing; besides, the one asking for the books was himself, not Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan.

So, was he simply a good person?

Because that memory was sealed, Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei at this moment appeared exceptionally pure and simple.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan decided to remove the "True Scripture of Nourishing Life" from the book list he originally intended to transcribe for Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei, replacing them with dry goods of equal value to offset this karmic debt of favor.

He would provide whatever protection he could to the Yu family members in this village, helping the Yu family preserve their bloodline as much as possible amidst the coming turbulent waves; this would be a way to show respect to the successive Long Wang of the Yu family and fulfill what Grandma Liu had told him about "giving a helping hand."

As for this "Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei," Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan truly could not lift him, nor was there any way to lift him.

The Qin and Liu families no longer had spirits and could not withstand this surging backlash, but the spirit of the Long Wang Chen family still remained; she could indeed give a helping hand.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan took out his wordless book and flipped to the first page.

During these days, the youth had not preventively squeezed the "Evil Book," which had truly allowed the "Evil Book" to live a comfortable life.

The woman in the cage on the first page had even become bloated.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan placed his right hand on the "Evil Book" and flipped the pages rapidly with his left hand; the youth's gaze was solemn, and the pages made a "rustling" sound like wind blowing through leaves.

After finishing one book, he immediately picked up the next to continue flipping.

Although Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had always been fast at reading, it was impossible to be this fast; furthermore, his mental capacity would not be able to take it, but these books all contained the notes and insights prepared by Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei.

The youth could be considered to have enjoyed the same treatment that Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had received from him.

The image of the woman on the "Evil Book" underwent the following changes: bloated, plump, well-proportioned, bony, skin and bones, a pink skull, and finally turning to ash.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had finally finished flipping through all the books on the desk once.

The text was all recorded in his mind, and he would follow Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Dibei's notes for his understanding for now; when he had time later, he would ruminate on them again to conduct comparative verification.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan leaned his back against the chair and picked up the cold water in front of him, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Outside, the sky had already turned dark.

The youth had just taken a sip of water when he heard a melodious flute sound by his ear.

This flute sound seemed to have a special magic, capable of soothing inner restlessness, relieving fatigue, and immersing one in the music.

The one playing the flute was naturally Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan on the second floor.

However, she was not intentionally playing the tune for Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan; she was just tired from healing her wounds and was relaxing herself.

After others had done everything they could for their healing, they could only rely on rest, but she could accelerate her own recovery through her domain.
