Chapter 494
Don't eat me.
In the cave was the most powerful evil spirit in the entire Qin family ancestral residence today.
But it was so uncomposed because of the approach of himself and others, like a post-traumatic stress disorder.
The word "eat" was very critical.
Someone among themselves reminded it of a similar "environment" back then, stimulating the fear deep in its heart.
Li Zhuiyuan had the answer in his heart.
But he still had to do an elimination method.
Chen Xiyuan received the instruction from Little Brother in her heart. She very obediently let go of both hands and retreated backward.
"Don't come over, don't eat me!"
The terrified tone in the cave didn't decrease.
Answer verified.
Runsheng, Tan Wenbin, Lin Shu You, including A-Li, all heard the young man's voice from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone retreated collectively, leaving the young man alone in front.
Li Zhuiyuan broke the red line and took the initiative to walk forward.
The young man who entered the cave raised his hand and turned it gently.
The giant python understood, its snake body wriggled, landing in front of the tiny individual, like a mountain squeezing, and soon, the cave entrance closed.
Li Zhuiyuan came to the depths of the cave alone. The layout here wasn't luxurious, but it could be called exquisite.
There were living rooms and rooms, all chiseled out from the python body, and even the furniture used snake bones.
And the light source was the huge snake eye curled up inside the giant python. When looking up, it was like a blood moon rising specifically for himself.
An old man wearing white Chinese clothes curled up under the table, holding the table leg with one hand, his body trembling violently.
He only had half a body, as if he had been vertically cut away by half.
The flesh threads on the cross-section instinctively spread outward constantly, as if growing bean sprouts.
But once released and probed out, they withered and retracted again and again. The function of the body's self-repair was still there, but this body was always unable to recover even half.
I don't know how long this state lasted specifically, but being able to sit in the first batch of chairs of the evil spirits in the Qin family ancestral residence under the premise of such extravagant waste was enough to explain the power of this old man.
Without exaggeration, as long as it wanted, it could easily kill himself, including all his partners outside the cave.
However, Li Zhuiyuan knew that when he showed talent at the ancestral residence gate and officially stepped into the ancestral residence, there was no direct life danger here for him.
Letting everyone form a defensive formation earlier wasn't because he was afraid it would suddenly turn against him, but because a simple turn of an ordinary person could accidentally crush a mosquito on the bed.
Now, there was no need.
In relationship interaction, when you find that the other party is fearing you, you will get natural relaxation.
It's just that Li Zhuiyuan wanted more. He planned to strike while the iron was hot and push forward the purpose of his coming here.
Wei Zhengdao cut down a forest for himself in advance. Fortunately, he could still pick up a few rotten fruits from the ground from time to time.
The old man seemed to gather courage, trembling and raising his head, looking in front of him.
Li Zhuiyuan perceived that after the old man's single-eye gaze fell on himself, the old man's aura was recovering at an astonishing speed.
It was afraid not of himself, but of Wei Zhengdao.
Li Zhuiyuan decided to put on the tiger skin for it again.
The emotions in the young man's eyes dissipated, cold indifference rose, actively echoing the feeling when having an episode.
"Ah ah ah.!!"
The old man was so scared that he retracted his head and trembled even more violently.
Wei Zhengdao lived for a long time, and his life was divided into several stages.
Stealing books at the Qin family ancestral residence should be the early stage of Wei Zhengdao, because at that time Wei Zhengdao was still doing the original accumulation of knowledge.
And this old man in front of him, that is, the Bai Hu, the Wei Zhengdao it encountered had at least finished walking the river and become a Long Wang.
So, the ancient evil spirits in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and this old man, although both had contact with Wei Zhengdao, were not in contact during the same period. The ancient evil also said that the Bai Hu was a latecomer in this Qin family ancestral residence.
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the table and sat down on a chair.
And this action of the young man further intensified the old man's fear; it actually lay on the ground and started shaking.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Sorry."
The young man stood up and left the seat.
The suggestive nature of the dining table and chairs for dining was too high.
The young man had already achieved the effect he wanted and didn't want to deepen the oppression further.
The condition was suppressed, his gaze returned to softness, and Li Zhuiyuan said:
"Get up, let's chat."
For a long time, the old man raised his head again, looking at the young man. It slowly supported the ground with one hand and stood up, but this time, the body stood up, but the aura didn't climb.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Sit."
The old man sat down.
Above, the snake eye gaze was empty, as if in a daze; it only provided lighting and didn't dare to look closely subconsciously.
Li Zhuiyuan: "You ask me, or I ask you?"
Old man: "You... don't recognize me anymore?"
This was a probe.
Afraid to the bone, but pride was also engraved in the bone.
Li Zhuiyuan determined that he was definitely not any Wei Zhengdao reincarnation or designated successor.
Even in front of Qing An, the young man insisted that he was him, and I am me.
However, analyze specific situations specifically, first grasp the current main contradiction.
Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand, rubbed his forehead gently, and said slowly:
"Some things, I don't remember very clearly either.
The him of the past, perhaps sleeping somewhere, perhaps sealed somewhere, perhaps some are sleeping and some are sealed, and even more perhaps, have died cleanly."
Li Zhuiyuan didn't answer anything, but the old man's pupils dilated because of this.
This kind of question didn't need a clear reply; it would fill in the answer suitable for itself.
After a moment of silence, the old man asked again:
"Then you... are now?"
"Li Zhuiyuan, successor of the Qin and Liu Long Wang gates, your family head."
"Family head... family head? Family head. Family head!"
The old man's expression transitioned from doubt to unease, and after transitioning to stability, it immediately rose to surprise and excitement.
The meaning interpreted was probably:
Since you say you are my family head, then you can't eat me anymore!
The experience of being brought to the dining table once tortured it until now. The young man now mastered the key that could help it unlock the shackles of fear.
Li Zhuiyuan took out the key to the Qin family ancestral residence, placed it on the table, nodded, and said:
"As long as you are obedient."
"I... am obedient..." Joy overflowed on the old man's face, and it nodded hard, "Family head, I am obedient!"
Contacting here was enough. It should stop while it's good.
The essence of a fox pretending to be a tiger lies in always remembering that you are still a fox now, don't really deceive yourself and enter the play completely.
Most importantly, this one is not the kind of harmless cat or dog that can be teased at will.
You have to reserve room for yourself in case people come to their senses later.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Do something for me."
The old man left the seat, preparing to kneel down.
"Stand."
The old man bent one knee halfway: "Family head, you order!"
Li Zhuiyuan: "I want to take a batch of poor relatives in the family to go out and visit, and when necessary, I will let everyone open their stomachs and eat a big household."
Fear appeared on the old man's face again.
It understood the young man's meaning, and it also understood the consequences of doing so.
This kind of thing can only be done once. Once the evil spirits in the ancestral residence are allowed to riot in the secular world, this pure land of the Qin family will no longer be allowed to exist by heaven.
But its essential fear originated from Wei Zhengdao. Staying in the Qin family ancestral residence for so many years, besides being influenced by the Qin family stories, was also full of fear of the outside world.
As if, the outside was all Wei Zhengdao.
In this world, no one, let alone evil spirits, could empathize with its experience back then.
For Dragon Kings through the ages, defeating and killing evil spirits was not difficult, but wanting to eradicate and prevent a comeback was very troublesome. The more powerful and weird the evil spirit, the harder it was to completely annihilate.
Evil spirits also knew their characteristics. Even if they were defeated and suppressed, they could use time to exchange for a chance to make a comeback in the future. After all, the Long Wang who defeated them had a lifespan.
The Bai Hu, who was once arrogant, thought the same way.
Even if it was defeated by that terrible man, it still dared to stare at this man with tiger eyes carrying hatred, to show off its pride.
Until, it was brought to the dining table by that man.
That man sat by the dining table and raised his chopsticks.
The Bai Hu immediately discovered that everything about itself was being decomposed, like a piece of ingredient, being processed, cleaned, marinated, cooked, plated, and served...
The man ate elegantly, and it was like a ball of yarn being gradually peeled off, watching its existence gradually being reduced.
It finally realized that in front of this man, evil spirits... simply had no future, and the ash that fell into the belly couldn't be rekindled.
The horror and panic to the extreme stimulated the ancient divine beast bloodline inherited from the past to further recover.
"Bang!"
The chopsticks in the man's hand broke.
It was free, it was out of trouble, like a meatball slipping when being picked out of the plate, rolling out of the plate surface, rolling off the table.
Even so, it still didn't have the courage to counterattack. At that time, the only thought in its brain was: Run!
It broke through layers of restrictions, bumped open one formation after another, and exerted the power of its residual body to the extreme. It succeeded, it escaped.
At the moment of escaping, it looked back.
It saw the man who was still sitting by the dining table at an unknown distance behind it, holding a black cloth in both hands, wiping the corners of his mouth lightly.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't look at the old man, but lowered his head, checking his fingers.
The young man knew the old man would agree. It hid here to avoid the terror outside, and now, the terror had grown legs and walked into the residence to its front.
"Family head, may I ask, which kind of big household do you intend to eat?"
"A Long Wang gate that has produced three Dragon Kings in history."
"Is it necessary to build the greatest momentum?"
"Enough is enough." Li Zhuiyuan reached out and pointed to the top of his head, "It is watching me closely. Unless it is a last resort, I will not let everyone out."
The old man raised his head and looked up.
The giant python above was so scared that it closed its eyes, and the cave seemed to have turned off the lights, pitch black.
And then, the giant python reacted and immediately opened its eyes, but because of its instinctive fear of the old man, it was trembling, the snake eyes flickering, and the cave was constantly flickering.
The old man frowned. It knew who the young man was referring to, but you little earthworm, what kind of presence are you looking for here?
Single arm clenched into a fist.
"Boom!"
The giant python's body shook violently, and a large amount of blood overflowed, like lava during a volcanic eruption.
Old man: "Please rest assured, family head, I will arrange it for you at the fastest speed. First let them self-seal, and then you will personally stick the seal, family head."
Sealing evil spirits is very troublesome, but if they can not resist or even actively self-seal, the difficulty is very low.
But the young man still shook his head and said: "This seal, I won't add it. In case it's really needed by then, I have to solve it myself, and I don't know if I have this time and opportunity.
I want you to accompany me."
Old man: "Family head, I am not suitable, please choose those two."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you afraid that you will hesitate at the critical moment, thinking that if I have an accident and die, it will give you a greater relief instead?"
Old man: "Yes."
Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't know what will happen after I die. I only know that someone should be very happy, like a thorn buried in the bottom of the heart, being completely pulled out."
Old man: "..."
Li Zhuiyuan: "You should think like this: whether I die or not, you have already been eaten by half.
If you see death and don't save, and I really die, your other half body won't recover. In case I survive a desperate situation, the remaining half of you won't be able to keep it in the future either.
Therefore, only by firmly choosing to help me is it never a loss."
Old man: "Family head, I understand, I will accompany you, please rest assured!"
Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the key he placed on the table: "Return it to me after using it."
Only those who master the Qin family flood dragon observation method can open the formation restrictions in the ancestral residence through this key, but with it in hand, the suppression suffered in various parts of the ancestral residence will also be reduced a lot.
The old man took the key in his hand, then turned around and swung a punch with his single arm.
"Boom!"
This mountain opened a hole.
It was equivalent to opening a big mouth on the giant python, and large pieces of bloody snake scales drifted down.
The old man walked out.
Li Zhuiyuan watched the old man's back being submerged by clouds and mist.
In the old man's view, being brought to the dining table by Wei Zhengdao was the palpitation of its life.
But from another angle, being able to escape from Wei Zhengdao's dining table, isn't it an affirmation of its strength in the past?
That guy Wei Zhengdao, Li Zhuiyuan understands very well; he is an absolute perfectionist.
He wouldn't eat only half of the meal and deliberately leave leftovers; he would only eat everything on the dining table cleanly.
Li Zhuiyuan suspects that facing the Bai Hu that suddenly escaped from the dining table, Wei Zhengdao must have been very uncomfortable in his heart.
But he wouldn't show it. Most likely, to maintain his image, he would do a little cover-up and modification.
For example, picking up the wine glass beside him and taking a shallow sip, or taking out a cloth and wiping the corners of his mouth lightly.
The giant python endured the severe pain and reopened the cave entrance that had been closed earlier, allowing Li Zhuiyuan to return the same way, without needing to go out from the hole opened by the old man and go around half the mountain.
The old man's way of treating the giant python is the most normal ecology among the evil spirits in the Qin family ancestral residence. No need to pity and feel aggrieved for it.
Even if their stance is consistent with the Qin family now, evil spirits are ultimately evil spirits. Which of them wasn't making waves and devouring countless people outside back then?
Qin family members don't rely on love and kindness to influence them.
Li Zhuiyuan gathered with his companions and nodded to everyone:
"The matter is very smooth, wait to pack the specialties."
In the distance, the first strong aura fluctuation appeared, meaning the first evil spirit completed self-sealing.
Soon, it was the second one.
The Bai Hu's execution efficiency was very high.
Li Zhuiyuan held A-Li's hand and walked back to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion like a stroll.
Just arriving at the door, a voice came from inside:
"Family head, your book was left here."
Li Zhuiyuan touched his pocket and said: "It was my carelessness, I didn't even notice it yet."
The young man walked up the steps and pushed open the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
The man in green clothes stood there empty-handed. The candle in his hand was gone.
