Chapter 145

The man named Xie on the main platform began to wave the command flag in his hand.

Strands of black gas continuously rose from below, gathering in the black vortex, making it even larger and denser.

Li Zhuoyuan noticed that the man named Xie was not casting a spell; he was merely guiding.

The spell cloud above his head had, in essence, no relation to him.

Perhaps because the spell power from the people nearby had all been drawn up to gather above, they had temporarily become “not that ‘cannot be looked at directly'” anymore.

At least, when Li Zhuoyuan actively turned his head, his line of sight about to encompass a person sitting next to him, his heart did not give a strong warning, and his eyelids no longer twitched.

Although still very dangerous, Li Zhuoyuan continued to turn his head to look at this person.

For the first time, he saw this person clearly.

Wearing a black long robe, around forty years old, even though his face was pale as snow, it still could not cover the resolute lines on his face.

Clearly a person who had been dead for a long time, yet still emitting a body of upright spirit.

Very discordant, yet truly existing.

Because this person, several hundred years ago, once came here shouting slogans, full of hot blood, to suppress the General and dispel a catastrophe.

Such a person, even dead, can still make people feel respect.

At this moment, his eyelids drooped, forming seals with his hands.

He,

Was in the process of casting a spell.

Li Zhuoyuan moved his line of sight away and openly looked at the other people.

The people in the field were basically dressed in four colors, representing the four families of the old Tianmen.

They were the essence of the old Tianmen four families of that generation; otherwise, it would not have been possible to select them to fight alongside the Dragon King.

Xiong Shan and the others had once probed the story of that year. Through Li Hua’s mouth, Li Zhuoyuan also roughly knew the context of the situation that year.

He only knew that after that battle, that “big figure,” the Qin family Dragon King, disappeared without a trace in the Jianghu from then on.

Li Zhuoyuan suspected that the Qin family Dragon King was Qin Kan because Qin Kan was also from the Yuan Dynasty.

In the genealogy of other families, that would undoubtedly be Qin Kan.

For example, the Yin family genealogy, when mentioning the glorious deeds of the ancestors, there was fundamentally no need to think and suspect; just flip the genealogy to the first page, and it was absolutely Yin Changsheng.

But the Qin family was different. Too many Dragon Kings were produced. Even though the Yuan Dynasty’s national destiny was short, it could not guarantee that the Qin family did not produce more than one generation of Dragon King during the Yuan Dynasty.

Whether the Qin family Dragon King’s disappearance without a trace after the incident was because he was severely injured in this battle and unable to go out again, or if he was tired of the Jianghu and decided to retire, or if the next generation of the family came out and he could rest, this was unknown.

But when the Dragon King made a move, he still brought the four families of the old Tianmen together, and when sealing the General, he even let Niu Daojie sacrifice his own blood relatives to complete the seal of the General.

It was sufficient to see how difficult to handle the General of that year was.

Sometimes, it’s not that you can’t beat it, but some evil spirits are really hard to kill.

In short, that battle was very tragic. Just counting the number of people seated here, you could see that the mainstay strength of the four great corpse driver families at that time was almost all folded here.

Now, all the people in the field were doing the same thing.

They were all forming seals and casting spells.

Those strands of spell power were condensing upwards in this way.

At first, Li Zhuoyuan suspected whether the man named Xie had turned them into puppets.

But Li Zhuoyuan quickly denied his own guess.

If the man named Xie had such great ability, would he still need to nest here?

He would have long since taken the initiative to find them and take revenge on the three families himself.

So, they were not puppets, at least not under the control of the man named Xie.

Next, Li Zhuoyuan began to observe whether they possessed self-consciousness.

The environment here was very similar to the cat-faced old woman he had initially seen.

The cat-faced old woman also once borrowed the paper figures, tables, chairs, pots, and bowls on the first floor of Taiye’s house to arrange a longevity banquet.

Only, the others had at least led the Dragon King to personally make a move to suppress the General. Comparing him to a newly formed corpse demon in the countryside was truly too insulting to the General.

Here, it was actually just the General’s “miasma.” He was here, borrowing himself, the resentment of the buried and the war dead, to create a special environment belonging to him.

The maidservants and eunuchs seen on the way here, those Yuan soldiers, those knights, all kinds of illusions, were actually all the General’s wandering souls, because they all depended on the General to exist.

But that doesn’t mean all wandering souls are under absolute control.

For example, the little Huang Ying from his hometown, Xiao Yingying, who is now a helper at Taiye’s house, is actually just the wandering soul under the peach tree, but little Huang Ying’s behavior style is completely autonomous.

So, are these people here who are forming seals and casting spells autonomous?

That is, Li Zhuoyuan in the banquet hall did not know that Zhuangzhuang, who was shouting outside as the Dragon King, had already gone through the eunuch’s connections through bribery.

If he knew, he could confirm that the wandering souls here, these “people” here, actually all retained a part of self-consciousness and were not puppets under the General’s control.

Li Zhuoyuan only analyzed from the General’s state that a General about to step into demise would not seemingly self-direct and self-perform a shadow play at this time.

Immediately after, while the man named Xie on the main platform turned to the other side, Li Zhuoyuan pushed away the straw man beside him, actively reaching out and waving at the person next door. Although the other continued to cast spells, the pupils under his eyelids actually really glanced at him once.

He had self-consciousness.

Li Zhuoyuan again pushed away the straw man and looked around.

Everyone around the circle, while continuing to cast spells, all slightly looked at him once.

They all had self-consciousness!

Li Zhuoyuan re-embraced the straw man, shock flowing in his eyes. They knew what they were doing!

These old Tianmen four families of that year, especially the ancestors of those three families who suppressed the General and the war dead, on the premise of being consciously awake…

In the process of casting spells on their contemporary clansmen, or rather, descendants,

They once fought together here. When Niu Daojie made the decision, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the family’s future to complete the seal of the General. They stood together and swore that the family would protect and live and die together.

This was a guarantee to Niu Daojie, not to let the family who made the greatest sacrifice decline completely in the future.

But how much binding force did the ancestors’ oath have on the descendants?

The effect of an oath depends mainly on people.

The facts were indeed so. After that battle, Niu Daojie’s remaining clan moved to Taohua Village and guarded the General’s tomb for generations.

The Ming-Qing period should have been the golden period of corpse drivers’ development, yet they were hard suppressed by the other three families.

According to the man named Xie, the matter of the General turning over in the late Qing and the three families re-gathering in Taohua Village to seal the General should have other hidden reasons.

It was probably not that the three families just rushed to devour the family.

One was that Niu Daojie occupied the General’s tomb, and it was suspected that the Xie family therefore benefited; two was that Niu Daojie really had absolute learning in hand that the other three families coveted, just like this spell art.

Anyway, after that battle in the late Qing, Niu Daojie’s lineage became thin, almost cut off descendants.

And those people from the three families who participated in that battle and returned all kept their mouths shut about the events of that time.

The ancestors of the three families here, after learning what their later generations and descendants had done, made a choice and also took practical action.

Since the ancestors’ oath could not bind the later generations and descendants, then use spell casting.

The Xie family’s debt, they would repay it. This family portal, they would clean it up themselves!

Li Zhuoyuan felt this scene was very absurd, and in the absurdity, also revealed a touch of sorrow.

Accustomed to scheming between the dead and the living, accustomed to calculating and plotting everything using the weaknesses of human nature, suddenly facing this kind of purity, he suddenly felt a strong discomfort.

Facing a large group of people who were too clean, he suddenly felt that his own body was a bit dirty.

Li Zhuoyuan again lifted his head and looked at the black vortex above. A lot had condensed, but very little flowed out.

Because the vast majority of the spell power had been intercepted and was unable to disperse.

Perhaps those that flowed out were just the corpse driver teams, who regularly went to those three families and randomly selected a descendant of the three families to take away.

This degree of loss could indeed make the three families feel fear and discomfort, but it was far from shaking the foundation.

Moreover, it could be seen that the three families were also continuously exploring the rules here and had already launched targeted actions.

From a professional point of view, the reason why the spell power was intercepted was nothing more than one: the General had not completely demised.

Whether the General made a move to stop it was not important, because as long as he still existed, this was still his miasma, and the spell power could not leave this environment, at most just overflowing a silk.

And now, too much, too much had truly accumulated.

When Li Zhuoyuan looked at this black vortex, he could feel a sense of alarm in his heart.

Once such a huge and dense spell power lost its restraint and completely burst out, the unlucky ones would definitely not be just those three families.

Even if they chopped the heads of all the people in those three families three times, it still wouldn’t be enough to afford so much.

It was more likely that the spell power would backlash onto the casters’ bodies. These upright people who had suppressed evil spirits and sacrificed themselves over the years, under the influence of spell resentment, would obliterate all self and turn into terrifying evil spirits one by one, stepping into madness.

They would rush out, massacre, and brew a even more terrible disaster.

Li Zhuoyuan involuntarily looked at the man named Xie on the main platform, who was still vigorously waving the command flag.

He had no opinion on the man named Xie wanting revenge.

But couldn’t your work be less rough?

If he were to do it himself, he would decide when to make a move according to the specific time of the General’s demise, thereby mastering the right temperature.

Even if he was impatient for revenge and didn’t want to wait any longer, he would still research a method to better deliver the spell power out, not completely accumulate it here, like blowing up a balloon that was getting bigger and bigger.

In short, the young man would ensure that the three families almost died, leaving only a few small fish, who would live a miserable life worse than death under the effect of the spell aftermath for his later leisure and boredom to appreciate for fun.

Li Zhuoyuan gazed at the eye sockets of the man named Xie.

These, exactly, were you unable to do it, or, fundamentally, not what you wanted?

He was blind, but Li Zhuoyuan did not believe that he did not know how big a thunder he had buried, and today, it was still continuing.

Could it be that what you want is complete destruction?

What was to be destroyed was not only those three families, but also the peace that the ancestors had protected with sacrifice.

Do you feel that it is stupid, that it is foolish, that it is not worth it, and you just want to use a catastrophe to overturn everything?

Li Zhuoyuan felt that this should be the true idea of the man named Xie, and it could also explain the General’s eyes when he looked at him.

Li Zhuoyuan again surveyed the crowd who were still forming seals. So, the General should also feel very ridiculous and helpless, right?

He once wanted to leave this three-heaven suppression and unleash a disaster belonging to him on the surroundings, but he was suppressed.

And the people who suppressed him that year were at this moment preparing to create a new heavenly disaster no less than him.

When the new heavenly disaster would occur depended on when he demised.

He himself… had actually become the preventer of this catastrophe.

Li Zhuoyuan’s left hand began to lightly tap on the table, and his right hand shook the wine cup that did not exist in reality.

The young man’s mind began to quickly sort out the context of the whole thing.

His fourth wave should be to come and solve this disaster.

Currently, it seemed that although the General was quickly demising, he still existed after all, so it also conformed to the time when the fourth wave should have arrived.

And Xiong Shan, he had actually misunderstood the intention of this wave of his from the beginning.

He thought that Jiangshui had let him come to seal the General, and he almost succeeded, but the problem was that with the General’s current state, bearing an extra seal would probably directly accelerate his demise.

Then, the powder keg here would be ignited and explode directly.

Even, perhaps his last time’s almost success was also a deliberate release by the General.

Because it was very obvious that the General could see the true self through Xiong Shan making a straw man.

Even, recognize his inheritance identity.

Xiong Shan’s good at Chen state symbol disguise was like nothing in the General’s eyes.

The General was going to die, but a part of his power and knowledge was still there.

Standing from the General’s perspective, he might not go to promote it, but it seemed that he didn’t mind either if this thunder exploded once.

Purely as a grand fireworks for his funeral.

He and the Dragon King and upright people who suppressed him once admired and recognized each other. This did not mean that he, a great evil thing, had been influenced to have a heart for the world’s common people.

At this time, the man named Xie stopped waving the command flag. The corner of his mouth held a smile.

Below, everyone also stopped forming seals and casting spells.

Gradually, the spell power vortex that had originally gathered in the air and become larger began to disperse, falling back to each person’s body below.

They began to become “cannot be looked at directly” again, and even more so than before, “cannot be looked at directly.”

Li Zhuoyuan sat up straight. His vision forbidden zone appeared again in large areas.

The man named Xie disappeared.

Li Zhuoyuan also conveniently ended his walk yin.

On the main platform, he saw the man named Xie standing in front of Yin Meng, in the process of telling Yin Meng something.

Yin Meng’s walk yin had ended quickly earlier, so she was unable to see the man named Xie’s earlier behavior.

Of course, Li Zhuoyuan suspected that even if Yin Meng saw it, she probably would not know specifically what happened.

The man named Xie first told about the family’s hardships. Li Zhuoyuan listened well and heard the entire dialogue, from which he learned that his name was Xie Shunan, a very easy to understand name.

Finally, Xie Shunan asked Yin Meng: “You say, should I or should I not take revenge on them?”

Yin Meng did not answer, only looked at him vigilantly.

The man named Xie smiled again, as if he did not plan to want an answer. He just saw that guests had come this time and also wanted to chat a few sentences.

This was the General inviting guests, and he had no right to dispose of them, otherwise he would anger the General, because theoretically speaking, he was also just one of the General’s guests.

But soon, that wouldn’t be the case.

Xie Shunan picked up the set of General armor, laughed and left. His behavior and actions seemed very exaggerated, but combined with what he was doing, it seemed low-key instead.

Li Zhuoyuan sat properly in his original position. Before, he didn’t understand, still puzzled why he couldn’t look directly. Now he understood that looking at them was equivalent to ordinary people staring at a powder keg about to explode. Going up, it was possible to be ignited and burned to ashes.

The banquet ended.

The corpse driver teams outside re-entered and began to carry the guests away.

At this time, he should worry a little about his own departure.

If there was really a team of local corpse drivers coming to pick him up, then after he sat on the bamboo sedan, would he not be sent to their nest?

Imagining himself standing in the middle of a large group of people who could not be looked at directly, this picture was really somewhat insoluble.

At this time, Li Zhuoyuan saw a eunuch walk in front of him and point at him.

Hmm? Not send back the guests first?

Immediately, Li Zhuoyuan heard Tan Wenbin and Runsheng’s footsteps.

They squatted behind him.

Li Zhuoyuan closed his eyes and turned his body, first placing the straw man up, then leading Runsheng by the clothes.

Beside him, he also heard Xiong Shan and Li Hua’s footsteps, as well as the child’s light murmur.

It seemed a bit too smooth, so smooth as if this eunuch had been stuffed with red envelopes.

So, it was indeed like this. All the wandering souls here all retained a relatively large degree of self-consciousness.

“Xiao Yuan bro, our plan arrangement…”

On the way down the mountain, a eunuch or maidservant stood at intervals.

When they reached a corner, Runsheng took out two incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the ground.

The maidservant and eunuch beside them immediately ran over, squatted down, and began to suck.

According to Tan Wenbin’s plan, Li Zhuoyuan took advantage of the opportunity to quickly leave the team and jump down into a pit at the corner. Actually, this was the side of a cliff, and there was exactly a groove here.

As soon as Li Zhuoyuan landed, he heard something falling from above. He immediately turned around and stretched out his hand, catching a swaddling cloth.

This pair of parents was really courageous. They really just threw the child.

However, Li Zhuoyuan was also clear that this was an agreement reached between Xiong Shan and Tan Wenbin, because his side still needed to pick up two people.

Li Zhuoyuan just sat in this groove, holding the child like this.

After a while, another person slid down from above, exactly Lin Shuyou.

“Xiao Yuan bro!”

Lin Shuyou saw Li Zhuoyuan and was overjoyed and wept. He was about to walk up and tell him about the tension and anxiety of this period, but as a result, a swaddling cloth was just thrown over, and Lin Shuyou could only first reach out to catch it.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Hold the child for a bit.”

Lin Shuyou nodded: “Understood.”

“Mengmeng?” “I don’t know. When I was arranged on the bamboo sedan, I just saw that it was Bin bro who was carrying me. Then Bin bro told me to jump down here. He said they still needed to continue to pull guests.”

Li Zhuoyuan slightly frowned. That meant that Yin Meng was to be picked up by the Xiong Shan couple?

But the problem was, why didn’t Yin Meng come down with Lin Shuyou?

Next, it was a long wait.

Li Zhuoyuan took out paper and pen from his bag, writing and thinking about how to solve that thunder while listening to Lin Shuyou’s narration.

The general idea was basically consistent with his own guess.

Yin Meng suddenly learned walk yin.

But not as he thought, truly bored on the train or guarding Hu bro and the three people.

But because of that script, when Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng played arguing with Hu bro and the three people in front of them, setting bait, they were too invested.

Arguing was fake, yes, but the content of the argument was all real.

Mengmeng was hurt.

No one could watch the content of a poem sent by someone else!

On the way, as long as she had free time after changing shifts with Lin Shuyou, she would desperately try to practice walk yin.

Under the stimulation of strong shame, she actually succeeded in practicing.

It was necessary to know that Yin Meng had been evaluated as “born insensitive” by Grandma Liu.

This was sufficient to see how big the stimulus Yin Meng received this time was.

As for Hu bro and the three of them, although they were involved by the causal line created by Li Zhuoyuan, after coming here, they did indeed connect with the water flow.

Baichi Town’s Shacun, they did not find it themselves, but they themselves inquired around and found a place with a similar sound, went there to seek, but these three fools walked the wrong road, not only did not find that place with a similar sound, but also got lost in the mountains.

Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng naturally followed them all the way. Seeing the three of them get lost, they naturally did not intervene, but were glad to see it, so they could continue to waste time.

When the three were tired and planned to lay down on the ground in the mountains to sleep and wait for dawn to find their way out, Lin Shuyou was in charge of monitoring, and Yin Meng rested first.

Yin Meng did not sleep, and began to practice walk yin. Once she practiced, she succeeded.

The first thing she saw after this success was a corpse driver team passing by in the distance.

The other was attracted by the “gaze”…

Then, everything connected.

Li Zhuoyuan suspected that the place where Hu bro and the others were was not far from the old house of those three families, or was located on the road that the corpse drivers must pass to hook people from those three families.

However, those three guys were involved by Yin Meng. They were just sleeping, but were mistakenly thought to be together and were brought into the team.

But these three fellows bullied, extorted, molested, insulted, robbed, and did all sorts of rotten things. Such dregs of humanity, sending them into a ghost nest was just things returning to their proper place.

Li Zhuoyuan knew that facing that kind of existence whose feet did not touch the ground, it was very difficult to resist, even he needed to avoid and hide, but he was curious about one thing:

“Did you go up the altar?”

When he asked this question, Li Zhuoyuan actually already knew the answer.

Lin Shuyou: “Tried, but couldn’t get up.”

Indeed, with such huge spell power, even White Crane Boy did not dare to look directly. If this thing was really poked through, it would probably directly eliminate his god position, and he wouldn’t even get to be a ghost.

But it couldn’t always be like this. Boy only came down when he encountered something easy to solve. If he saw the situation was not good, he simply wouldn’t come.

Everyone was desperately trying, why were you just there picking and choosing?

Li Zhuoyuan flipped open a page of his notebook and paused for a moment: Look, I should design a forced summon for Boy.

“Xiao Yuan bro, this child is really well-behaved, not crying, not making noise, so cute.”

Lin Shuyou teased the child. The child actively reached out, smiling sweetly while trying to grab Lin Shuyou’s finger.

“Then you hurry up and have one.”

“Hehe, my grandpa does want me to get married and have a child early.”

Li Zhuoyuan lifted his head and closed his eyes.

How exactly should that thing be handled?

It couldn’t be drained, and it couldn’t be transferred. Once it leaked out, it would be a disaster.

But even if it burst inside here, those old Tianmen ancestors would also suffer backlash, turn into monsters, rush out, and trigger a even more terrible heavenly disaster.

Li Zhuoyuan opened his eyes again, lowered his head, picked up his pen, and began to write down various choices and influences.

With the speed of his brain, he actually didn’t need to do this, but he needed to weigh it.

After a round of selection, Li Zhuoyuan selected the current optimal solution, but this idea of solving it in the optimal state made him himself want to laugh.

But gradually, the young man’s expression began to become serious.

It seemed that it really could work, because at least, it counted as a method!

At this time, Tan Wenbin, Runsheng, and the Xiong Shan couple all slid down from above.

Still no sign of Yin Meng.

Li Zhuoyuan asked: “Mengmeng?”

Tan Wenbin: “Damn it, Mengmeng is an honored guest. There’s a big eunuch specially responsible for leading her to her residence. The eunuch I bribed isn’t as high-ranking as him.”

“Do you know where she was arranged?”

“Entered the palace.”

Li Hua picked up her son from Lin Shuyou’s hand and kissed him on the forehead.

Xiong Shan opened his mouth: “Since your subordinate is regarded as an honored guest by the General, there shouldn’t be any danger to her life. At most, she’ll be a guest for a few more days and then she’ll be arranged to leave.”

Li Zhuoyuan understood Xiong Shan’s meaning and asked:

“You all want to leave?”

Xiong Shan nodded: “Otherwise?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “The matter here is a bit different from what you originally thought. I saw some things in the banquet hall and can tell you about them.”

Xiong Shan’s face showed struggle.

Li Zhuoyuan: “What, unwilling to listen?”

Xiong Shan: “I’m afraid that after listening, I won’t be able to leave. I have a feeling that you all seem to really want me to stay.”

Li Zhuoyuan frankly said: “I want to solve the matter here, so I need manpower.”

Li Hua: “This has nothing to do with us anymore. After we leave here, he will light the lamp, and then our couple’s remaining life will only be to raise our son and take revenge for the second and third.”

Xiong Shan: “Yes, that’s right, little brother. I advise you to also worry less about idle matters. You need to know that every drink and every peck is the will of heaven. You don’t need to worry about every matter. Some matters, when they should happen, are destined to happen.”

After saying this, Xiong Shan and Li Hua took the child and prepared to climb up.

The maidservants and eunuchs had all returned to the palace. The banquet hall was already empty at this time. They only needed to re-enter and jump down from the waterfall to return to the lake surface.

Li Zhuoyuan looked at their backs and opened his mouth: “One drink, one peck, it’s the will of heaven. Aren’t you curious how the second and third died?”

Xiong Shan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Zhuoyuan: “What do you mean by that?”

Li Hua was even more direct, questioning: “Do you know how the second and third were caught?”

Li Zhuoyuan shook his head: “I don’t know.”

Xiong Shan reached out and pointed at Li Zhuoyuan: “Little brother, you shouldn’t talk about the second and third in front of me.”

Runsheng and Lin Shuyou immediately stood up.

Tan Wenbin pushed away Xiong Shan’s hand and asked: “Three human favors, can’t they exchange for you to speak properly?”

Xiong Shan took a deep breath, retracted his fingers, and clenched his fists.

Li Zhuoyuan was not angry, nor did he feel offended, because he wanted people to stay and fight hard for this matter.

However, what he said next was not deliberately deceiving them, but his own real guess.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Xiong Shan, since you are both in the Jianghu, then I will just ask you one thing. Can you admit defeat and exit the Jianghu just by lighting the lamp for the second time?”

Xiong Shan: “Of course. This is a well-known rule in the Jianghu.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Is the Jianghu originally so easy to talk to? When you encounter a small wave, you just wade through it. When you see a big wave coming, even if it’s just near, even if you’re already in the middle of the wave, but as long as you hurry up and light the lamp for the second time, all danger will disappear into nothing?”

Xiong Shan was silent.

He was of wild origin, and many things were comprehended by himself. About this, he was actually not clear, but what the young man said did have reason. Jiangshui was never tender.

Li Zhuoyuan: “If everyone plays like this, it’s not just messing things up. Although everyone only has one chance to walk the Jianghu, it’s not that everyone can pick and choose, is it?”

Just like that White Crane Boy.

Even he himself could not stand Boy’s cowardly behavior and was preparing to make a move to solve it. Could it be that the heavenly way would still indulge?

Li Hua pulled her husband’s arm, signaling him to speak.

Xiong Shan soothed his wife a bit, looked at Li Zhuoyuan, his tone softening, and asked: “Are you sure about what you’re saying?”

“Not sure. That’s why I’m asking you, how did the second and third die?”

“How would I know?”

“If it’s truly as you say, just let the second and third be responsible for tailing them only, then are they really that easy to capsize?”

“This is also where I don’t understand. I don’t believe that those two families could take down the second and third so easily, and take them both down.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “I also think so.”

From his contact with Li Hua, Li Zhuoyuan could feel the quality of Xiong Shan’s team. Although Li Hua was carrying a child, in terms of disguise, layout, and reaction, she was almost flawless.

Then the second and third old ones would most likely be more outstanding than Li Hua.

Xiong Shan: “Your meaning is that because I wanted to light the lamp and admit defeat, Jiangshui began to punish me? But when the second and third were caught, I was here, trying to seal the General. I almost succeeded!”

“So, now you can listen to me tell you about the things I discovered here?”

“Say it,” Xiong Shan sat down, “I’ll listen.”

Seeing the situation, Li Hua also only hugged the child and followed suit.

Li Zhuoyuan told the truth of the matter that he had sorted out.

The people in the field listened more towards the back, and the shock on their faces became denser.

Tan Wenbin: “The ancestors of the old Tianmen could actually do such a thing.”

Runsheng: “Heroes.”

Xiong Shan’s face suddenly became very ugly. He said disbelievingly: “That is to say, if I had succeeded in sealing the General, it would have instead advanced this disaster?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “When I was sitting there hugging the straw man, the General saw through my disguise, so your almost success at that time was probably also deliberate on the General’s part.”

Xiong Shan’s breathing became rapid, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead: “I, messed up Jiangshui’s meaning?”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Maybe not only that.”

Xiong Shan’s body began to tremble. This grassroots hero, at this moment, was truly afraid.

Only those who have experienced people on the Jiang and lightly lit lamps can understand that kind of fear of being dominated and guided by Jiangshui.

“Not only did I almost mess up the matter, I also thought of withdrawing and leaving immediately…”

How rich the benefits of walking the Jianghu were, Xiong Shan was clearer than anyone, otherwise he would not have hesitated to take risks and bring his son up with him.

But since Jiangshui could give so generously, then when you went against its will, the punishment it gave you would be even more terrible.

Li Zhuoyuan continued to supplement: “If, because of your exit, this disaster finally bursts out, you say, whose head will it finally be recorded on?”

“I… I…”

The scene described by the young man was too terrible. If that heavenly disaster finally fell on oneself, it could no longer be described as terrible.

Li Zhuoyuan slowed down his tone and said: “For safety, let this wave pass first, then light the lamp.”

After Li Zhuoyuan finished speaking, he lowered his head.

According to past habits, after saying that sentence, he, at this moment, should look at that child, because he was clear that the child was the soft spot of this couple.

Reasonably using all conditions to achieve his own purpose was something he felt was normal.

But this time, he didn’t want to do that.

Perhaps, because it had not been long enough since he left A Li.

Or, he deliberately wanted to convey through this detail, when he told A Li about this wave experience later, that his illness had recovered another layer.

But Li Zhuoyuan didn’t look, other people would look.

Runsheng, Lin Shuyou, all immediately looked at that child.

Tan Wenbin originally didn’t look. Seeing these two guys already looking, he also reluctantly looked.

No way, everyone was curious about this matter of bringing a child to walk the Jiang. It was clear that they were doing it to accumulate merit for the child, but if the merit was not accumulated and finally turned into a deduction, then the child…

Li Hua cried while holding the child, but she quickly wiped away her tears, her gaze firm, and nodded to her husband.

Xiong Shan looked at Li Zhuoyuan and said: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I also did it to achieve my purpose. I want you to help me fight hard. If either of you die in the next action, it’s also very normal.”

Xiong Shan immediately said: “It doesn’t matter if we die. We only hope you can help us with the child…”

Li Zhuoyuan: “I don’t like children.”

Tan Wenbin stood up and began to smooth things over, saying: “Right, it’s not necessarily that you must die. Both of you live well. We here may not even be married yet, who has the time to bring an oil bottle for life?”

Li Hua laughed.

Xiong Shan touched his wife’s hair and said: “I have a request.”

Tan Wenbin raised three fingers: “Three human favors, three human favors!”

Xiong Shan’s face showed embarrassment: “No, what I want to say is, if I survive this time, I hope to go to Nantong, find the Nantong salvage corpse Li family, and visit and thank them.”

Li Zhuoyuan: “Okay.”

…

Inside the palace everywhere in ruins, not many intact buildings remained.

Xie Shunan walked among them and came to the front of the former main hall.

Here was once the center of this underground palace, where the General’s coffin was buried.

Now, the palace had completely disappeared, and in its original place, only a giant pit remained.

Inside the giant pit, there was a black coffin.

Even in the General’s palace, which was now in ruins, this coffin was really ordinary to the point of being out of place.

Xie Shunan placed the General’s armor in his hand aside, then grabbed the edge of the giant pit with both hands, lay down, and shouted inside:

“Ancestor grandpa, I’ve come to visit you again.”

“Creak…”

The coffin lid slowly slid open, revealing the true appearance inside the coffin.

The corpse inside the coffin was wearing a clean as new yellow Daoist robe, and beside it were a set of corpse driver’s tools.

Only, the Daoist’s face was completely covered by hair.

“Ancestor grandpa, open your eyes and look at me…”

The hair on the Daoist’s face gradually scattered, revealing, surprisingly, the General’s face, as withered as a monkey.

Here was the location of the General’s body.

That year, that Xie family person, with blood relatives as sacrifice, turned into a life and death seal, and then that Qin family Dragon King held this seal and made a move, thoroughly suppressing him.

From then on, he and that Xie family person were the same body and soul until now.

Xie Shunan laughed and opened his mouth:

“Ancestor grandpa, the General is already tired. Don’t continue to support him so hard. Letting the General demise early is also what you wished for that year.

Moreover,

You yourself can also be free early, can’t you?”
