Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 146

"If we want to solve the cursed power problem here, we must first gain control of it, even if it's just in form.

Therefore, the problem of Jie Shunan must be dealt with first. He has a flag in his hand that can guide the flow of spell power.

In addition, his position here is somewhat special.

He is very similar to Yin Meng, and on the surface they are both guests of the general.

But judging from his interactions with the ancestors of the four families of Laotianmen, and the fact that he could freely enter and leave the banquet hall, and that the maids and eunuchs around him turned a blind eye to his behavior...

I suspect Xie Shunan has some control over this place.”

Li Zhuiyuan remembered the corpse-driving Taoist priest from the Jie family whom he saw in A'li's dream. Normally, only the evil spirits suppressed by the Dragon King himself could find A'li by following the source of cause and effect.

Therefore, the young man speculated that the so-called blood sacrifice to form a seal was only the first step. Above this step, there should be something similar to the seal of life and death that would forcibly merge and bind himself with the general.

Since he is still conscious, this environment can be said to be partially understood to a certain extent.

As a member of the Xie family, it is not surprising that Xie Shunan can have partial control.

Li Zhuiyuan continued:

“Although the general was once powerful, he is now weak; even if Xie Shunan has some tricks, they are not too exaggerated.

Facing them, we actually have a chance.

Most importantly, those who cannot be looked at directly.

Unless we dig out our own eyes like Xie Shunan did, we don’t have the ability to face them for the time being, and we can’t expose them.

Brother Binbin, you guys went to carry the group of people who cannot be looked at directly before, and you said that they are usually placed in one place, right? "

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, in a relatively well-preserved palace. When we mixed in with the corpse-driving team to pick people up, we were at the door of the palace. The corpse-driving team lined up one by one, squatted down at the door of the palace, and lowered the poles. Then they lined up one by one from the palace and got on the poles.

The same thing happened when they were sent back. They were carried back to the temple gate, and then they squatted down and lowered the poles. Then they slid down by themselves and returned to the temple."

Li Zhuiyuan changed his tone to a serious one and said, "Tan Wenbin."

Tan Wenbin immediately looked serious: "Yes."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Xiong Shan."

Xiong Shan pursed his lips. He was also the leader of a team. In the past, he was the one giving orders. This was the first time that he was assigned a task by someone else.

But since they met, the boy has repeatedly shown his mystery. If before it was only about his abilities, then the boy's analysis of his situation in the world just now really made him feel like he had met a "senior".

Moreover, at this point, he had no choice. If things here were not handled properly, the whole family would have to suffer the consequences.

Xiong Shan: “Yes!”

Li Zhuiyuan: "You and Tan Wenbin are in a group, and you are the team leader. Your group has two tasks. The first is to search for Yin Meng. After finding Yin Meng, she will automatically be assigned to your group.

This mission is not a priority, and as the general's distinguished guest, Yin Meng's life should not be in danger.

Your team's second mission must be completed, which is to prevent the unsightly person in the palace from coming out in the next period of time, and create an environment for us to deal with Jie Shunan."

Xiong Shan: "Okay, I understand."

Li Zhuiyuan continued: “I have some advice for you two, try not to fight head-on, and adopt a roundabout strategy.

Xiong Shan, the Chenzhou Talisman that you are good at has an excellent camouflage effect here, so make good use of it.

Secondly, since we have confirmed that the maids and eunuchs here can be bribed, we should establish a good relationship with them. "

Tan Wenbin immediately looked at Runsheng: "Runsheng, give me all the incense."

Runsheng immediately took out two iron boxes from his bag. One box contained fine incense, which was an ordinary chewing stick. The other, more delicate and smaller box contained coarse incense that looked like cigars. When he was out, Runsheng would limit the amount of it he smoked every day.

After leaving only one thick one, Runsheng handed both boxes of incense to Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin weighed the incense sticks and found that most of the fine incense sticks had been used up. Although the coarse incense sticks were coarse enough, there were not many of them. When you bribe people, you are always embarrassed to say to them: "Excuse me, eunuch, would you please share one with this maid and nanny?"

Tan Wenbin: "Runsheng, is there anything else?"

Runsheng shook his head: "These are all that's left."

"OK then."

Tan Wenbin nodded. He also knew that although everyone's backpack was very large, it needed to hold equipment for corpse recovery, food, water and other supplies, so the space for storing their personal belongings was very limited.

Runsheng: "Mengmeng also has a set of thick and thin incense in her bag. She was afraid that I didn't have enough, so she brought it for me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Raise the priority of picking up Mengmeng."

Tan Wenbin smiled and said, "Of course."

"The rest of you, follow me to find Jie Shunan." Li Zhuiyuan looked at Tan Wenbin and Xiong Shan again, "Remember, before we send out the signal of success, no one in the palace who cannot be seen directly can be released."

Tan Wenbin: “Understood!”

Xiong Shan patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry."

They started to act separately. The original straw pole was still usable, and after Xiong Shan made some minor repairs, both sides carried their scarecrows and left.

Li Zhuiyuan didn’t know where Xie Shunan was now, but it didn’t matter. He could go to the most core area here first, which was where the general’s real body was.

If Xie Shunan happened to be there, that would be great; if he was not there, he could also go and communicate with the ancestor of the Xie family.

After all, the reason why I was able to come here was because the ancestor of the Xie family took the initiative to find me.

Although the palace was severely damaged, there were still many restrictions and traps left.

Lihua, who was assigned to Li Zhuiyuan's side, couldn't help but remind him: "My husband has been here before. There are many traps inside. Be careful."

"Ah."

Li Zhuiyuan responded simply, then picked up a stone and smashed it at the broken stone road ahead.

"Snapped."

"Crash..."

The front was collapsing, and the foul-smelling sewage quickly filled up and spread outwards like a fountain.

These sewage should be highly corrosive, but after a long time, the corrosiveness subsides. However, because they are in such an environment full of resentment, they are contaminated with another layer of toxicity.

Li Zhuiyuan grabbed Runsheng's clothes and pulled them down.

Runsheng understood and squatted down while carrying the straw pole. Lin Shuyou and Lihua behind him also squatted down.

This pause lasted for a long time.

Lihua was worried that her husband was already trying to stop those people who couldn't be looked at directly, so she couldn't help but reach out and gently push Lin Shuyou in front of her:
"Why don't you leave?"

Lin Shuyou turned around and made a "hush" gesture to her.

Lihua asked again, "What are you doing?"

Lin Shuyou frowned: Was I so annoying when I used to talk too much?

Li Zhuiyuan finally stood up, walked to the front of the team, pulled Runsheng's clothes, indicated that he would lead the team, and reminded them:

"Those behind, pay attention to where the people in front are standing, and try not to go the wrong way."

Lihua: “I understand.”

Lin Shuyou: “Understood!”

Next, the team officially entered the palace. Although sometimes they had to go around in circles even if they were going in a straight line, they generally maintained a relatively fast forward speed and had a safe journey.

This surprised Lihua. Her husband had said that the palace was very dangerous and he almost didn't come out. But where was the danger? Could it be that the young man had avoided it all?

Li Zhuiyuan had read "Qi Family Spring and Autumn Annals" and knew that the ancestors of the Qi family were the leading experts in tomb burial mechanisms.

This general's tomb used a standard layout, which is also a model.

There are two difficulties. One is that the ordinary tomb mechanism targets tomb robbers from outside, but here it is mainly targeted at the inside;

The other is the subsequent changes that occur after severe damage. The mechanism will also be deformed or even denatured. In this kind of weird environment, something originally non-toxic may become toxic.

After determining the idea of ​​solving the problem, Li Zhuiyuan led the way while solving the problem. It means that the boy's mind was quick. Even if ordinary people had learned these things, they would have to stop for a while to think and test before they dared to continue.

As they walked, they arrived at the deepest and most core area of ​​the palace.

Lihua let out a long sigh. She really felt it was a pity that her husband couldn't come and experience it. What kind of feeling is it that others can walk through the dangerous area you mentioned as if it were flat ground?

However, she felt that her husband should have anticipated this, so she took the initiative to request to visit the Li family in Nantong.

The Li family that retrieves corpses must really be a family that lives in seclusion from the world.

Lihua looked down at the child in her arms: Son, this may be your chance!
This boy is still young, you should grow up quickly, maybe when the boy lights a lamp and travels the world, you can go with him!
Every mother has a filter for her own child. The most superficial manifestation is that she thinks the child is extremely beautiful even though the child looks very ordinary; on a deeper level, she will imagine that her child is born for the sake of necessity and is destined to have a bright future.

Li Zhuiyuan had no time to worry about what the woman behind him was thinking, because when he saw the huge pit in front of him, he also saw Xie Shunan who was setting up an altar beside the pit.

Good, he is here.

At this time, Xie Shunan was performing a ritual. Two already very tall white candles were burning. The flames shot up very high. The fire was very fierce, but the candles did not melt or become shorter. Instead, they were getting taller.

Ordinary people offer sacrifices to their ancestors during festivals. That is a kind of offering, using real sacrifices to exchange for the ancestors' rest in peace and... whatever blessings they can give.

But Li Zhuiyuan could see at a glance that Xie Shunan was not performing traditional sacrifices, he was forcibly borrowing life from his ancestors.

Li Zhuiyuan: "How filial."

This is a semi-sorcery. The reason why it is called “semi” is because it is prevalent everywhere and is practiced voluntarily.

For example, if there is a child in the family who is born with a weak constitution and is always sick, we can find the parents or grandparents to perform this ceremony, borrowing good luck and fate to help the child overcome the difficulties.

If the family is unwilling to let the baby go or the family is well-off, then they will try another method... getting married to bring good luck.

Ask a fortune teller to find an unmarried man and woman with good fate and poor family conditions. If the one in the family is too ill to even go through the ceremony, then let the woman hold a rooster and the man lead a paper man covered with a red scarf to perform the wedding ceremony.

This is what Xie Shunan is doing now. He is forcibly extracting his great-grandfather's fate and giving it to himself. His purpose may not be to add any fortune and longevity to himself, but simply to hope that his great-grandfather will pass away sooner.

Li Zhuiyuan saw from this that it must be the ancestor of the Xie family who was trying hard to maintain the general's existence, because he knew what kind of disaster would happen once the general completely disappeared.

He is really pitiful. He sacrificed his life to suppress the general and endured hundreds of years of torture of being sealed, just to die together with the general as soon as possible and eliminate this great harm to the world.

However, when his mission was about to be completed and he would be freed, he had to help the general maintain his existence because of the actions of his descendants.

Xie Shunan put away the peach wood sword and faced Li Zhuiyuan. Although he couldn't see, he seemed to have developed a new perception.

"Who is coming?"

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the command flag that Jie Shun had placed on his waist and said:
"Give me the flag.

I promise you,

When I have sorted out the problems here, I can help you get revenge."

"Hehehe..." Xie Shunan laughed. He reached out and touched the flag on his waist and asked, "Can you solve it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “I am certain.”

"What a pity! If only I had met you 20 years ago when I followed my grandma's order to go and pay my respects to that old beast of the Wang family."

"Sorry, I wasn't born yet."

“Hahaha… it’s too late. I thought I was pretty good back then, for being able to escape from the Wang family’s birthday party. That night, they found my home along the path I took.

My grandma, who always advised me that it is better to resolve grievances than to create them and that the past should be forgotten, set herself on fire in the old house to stop them in order to protect me.

That night, the fire burned brightly, and our old house was built with good wood.”

Li Zhuiyuan: "So I didn't persuade you to let go of your hatred. I said I can help you get revenge, and I can also design many plans for you to increase your pleasure of revenge.

I was serious. "

Xie Shunan: "What you mean is that those three families deserve my revenge and deserve to die, but the common people in this area are innocent and should not be implicated?
From the sound of your voice, you seem to be very young, right?

I didn’t expect that at such a young age, you could be so compassionate and sympathetic.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Thank you for the compliment.”

"Haha, do you really think I'm praising you?"

"Ah."

"Your accent isn't local, so get out of here. The farther away the better. What's happening here has nothing to do with you. You need to be kind and compassionate, and be charitable. Don't be here!"

"I'm not doing the kind thing, I'm just doing the right thing."

Li Zhuiyuan examined himself and realized that there were not many people he truly cared about now. One hand was barely enough, but two hands were more than enough.

When it comes to ruthlessness, Xie Shunan is really no match for me. At least he still has endless hatred in his heart, and hatred is also a kind of emotion.

However, he gave himself so many titles at once.

From a patient's perspective, these sarcastic words sound the same as "I wish you a speedy recovery."

Xie Shunan pointed to his eyes and asked, "Do you see it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I saw it, but you are blind."

Xie Shunan: "I can no longer see this world."

"Ah."

"Since I can't see anymore, there's no point in this world existing."

"Oh."

"I just want to let my ancestors see how foolish the sacrifice you made to seal the evil spirit was!
Why can't they think more about themselves and our future generations!

I just want to make them regret, I just want to turn their sacrifice and their self-righteous greatness into a huge joke, I want to destroy everything they think is valuable and meaningful!
The Yan family, the Xie family, the Wang family, and the Bu family.

These three,
How is it possible?

I want more people, the more the better, as many as possible to come and save my family and be buried with me!"

"Okay, I know."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his right hand and waved it forward.

Runsheng rushed forward holding the Yellow River shovel.

The valve opened with great force, and every step taken caused tremors to echo near the huge pit.

Xie Shunan swallowed his saliva. He realized at the first moment that he was no match for this man. At least in terms of close combat ability, he had no chance against the man rushing forward.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision, dropped the peach wood sword in his hand, swung his arms, and two pieces of bamboo poles fell out from his sleeves. Then he swung them along the way, and the bamboo poles extended rapidly.

Just like the Yellow River shovel in the hands of corpse retrievers, this pair of bamboo poles is also standard equipment for corpse drivers.

Xie Shunan waved his arms, and two long bamboo poles stood up from the air and then stretched downwards to the huge pit.

When Runsheng was approaching him, Xie Shunan turned his body to the side, used himself as the axis, and swung up a pair of bamboo poles. At the same time, he retracted his hands and the bamboo poles also retracted.

The Taoist who was originally lying in the coffin in the huge pit was picked up by a pair of bamboo poles, left the pit, and landed in front of Runsheng.

Xie Shunan controlled the bamboo pole, and the corpse-driving Taoist priest immediately began to move.

He raised his hand and punched Runsheng.

This is the ancestor of the Xie family, and he was also a general. Even though a tiger is dead, its power remains, let alone two tigers.

When the general was in his prime, he was extremely ferocious and could confront the Dragon King head-on. Even though he can't use magic now, his controlled body still carries terrifying power.

The fist brought extremely strong pressure, causing a whistling wave of air.

Runsheng did not dare to delay. He changed the Yellow River shovel that was originally prepared to attack to block.

"boom!"

With one punch, the corpse-driving Taoist priest stood still. Runsheng slid backward quickly, and his feet rubbed on the ground for dozens of meters. The hiking boots, which originally had very high soles, not only emitted white smoke, but also melted in half.

If this was not a new Yellow River shovel tailor-made for him, it would have broken long ago if it was an old one when it came into contact with the fist.

Runsheng was extremely shocked by the terrifying power of the other person's body. It reminded him of the feeling when his master, Uncle Qin, taught him moves during his special training.

At that time, he felt that he was facing an unshakable mountain.

Moreover, he knew very well that Uncle Qin had not used his full strength on him at that time. However, the corpse-driving Taoist in front of him was controlled by Jie Shunan, and he did not actually use his full strength.

Runsheng twisted his neck and forcibly calmed the turbulent blood in his body. The valves in his body opened and closed quickly, and he launched another charge.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that Xie Shunan threw out a talisman, which immediately burned and turned into ashes after it hit the ground.

He should be mobilizing those people who cannot be looked at directly to come over. Even if only one of them comes and stands next to Jie Shunan, this fight will be really difficult.

Run Sheng's second attack obviously bypassed the Taoist corpse-driving master in front. After running halfway, he began to detour, intending to attack Jie Shunan directly.

But Xie Shunan just flicked his arm lightly, and the Taoist corpse-driver immediately moved, closely following Runsheng's steps, as if they were playing "Eagle Catches Chicken".

At this moment, Xie Shunan suddenly looked puzzled: "What's that sound?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Ayou."

Lin Shuyou spread out his left hand, clenched his right fist, and began to possess himself.

He didn't open his face because he knew that Brother Xiaoyuan didn't like the nasty self after opening his face.

Secondly, in this environment, any disobedience may lead to terrible consequences.

But this also reduces the success rate of spirit possession.

But it doesn’t matter. Try it a few more times. It’s just like using a lighter on the plateau. Try it a few more times and you won’t be able to get a fire.

As a result, once, twice, three times, four times...

Lin Shuyou tried the same action many times and stomped his feet constantly, but he still failed.

While Ah You continued to perform the movements to induce a state of possession, he looked furtively at Brother Xiao Yuan who was standing beside him.

He is very ashamed and embarrassed now.

Before he met Brother Xiaoyuan, he had great admiration for the Yin Gods, believing that they were high above and omnipotent.

Ever since he met Brother Xiaoyuan, the preconceived impression he had of the Yin Gods since childhood has begun to crack little by little.

It may be the strong aura of cursed energy in this world that makes Baihe Tongzi dare not get involved in this muddy water, or it may be that even if the general is weak, his former rank is still there. In short, the boy is unwilling to come down.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't say anything, but raised his left hand and waved it forward.

"You go."

Lihua was about to hand her son to Li Zhuiyuan, but Li Zhuiyuan did not take it.

Lihua was about to hand it to Lin Shuyou again. She remembered that when they slid into the groove before, it was Lin Shuyou who had been holding his son happily, but Lin Shuyou was still pounding his fists and stomping his feet, obviously he was too busy.

There was no other choice, so Lihua had to put her son on the ground and pull out two hatchets from the cradle.

Li Zhuiyuan reminded: "Feint an attack on Jie Shunan."

"understand!"

Lihua rushed forward.

She was faster than Runsheng. When she entered the battlefield, it was like she was throwing an axe, and then she turned in a smoother way and attacked Jie Shunan.

Runsheng took the opportunity to press forward at the same time, not intending to let the corpse-driving Taoist return to defense.

Xie Shunan looked anxious.

Li Zhuiyuan immediately shouted, "He's acting!"

Runsheng immediately changed from offensive to defensive.

Lihua's coordination was a little poor, but she was just feinting, so she stopped rushing forward.

Xie Shunan pulled his arms back violently, and the bamboo pole retracted again. In an instant, Xie Shunan and the corpse-driving Taoist priest were completely stuck together, as if they were one.

The corpse-driving Taoist raised his leg and kicked Runsheng. The force caused a gust of air that was about to rip the eardrum. "Bang!"

Runsheng blocked again with the Yellow River Shovel and slid backwards again.

Then, the corpse-driving Taoist turned sideways and punched Lihua. Lihua didn't even dare to block and just retreated.

But the fist still hit her, and she flew backwards.

After landing, Lihua spat out a mouthful of blood.

She immediately turned her head to look at the young man in the distance. This guy's physique was too terrifying. Should she really continue to fight?

Normally, when encountering such a tough guy, her husband would try to find a breakthrough through magic and talismans, but the young man just stood there, with no intention of making any arrangements.

In fact, Xie Shunan is not without weaknesses. His weakness lies in his movement speed. He seems to be able to move quickly only in a small range and cannot carry out long-range attacks.

But here, if he simply defends and waits for the group of people who cannot be looked at directly to come, he can take advantage of his blindness and win directly.

Li Zhuiyuan's ears trembled slightly, and he heard Li Shunan's breathing.

Controlling a "corpse" of this level is indeed a physical job and must be very tiring.

Xie Shunan looked puzzled again. He leaned close to the corpse-driving Taoist priest and asked curiously, "Who is talking?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Continue."

Runsheng let out a low roar and rushed forward again.

Lihua gritted her teeth and followed closely in a quick circle.

This time, the corpse-driving Taoist didn't take the initiative to punch, but just stood on tiptoe and turned in circles on the spot.

He seemed certain that the opponent would not dare to really attack. Even if he did come forward, he would immediately change his offensive to defensive and would not pose any threat.

If this continues, it is hard to say who will be consumed.

Runsheng had no choice but to take the initiative to launch an attack, and smashed the corpse-driving Taoist priest's head with the Yellow River shovel.

The corpse-driving Taoist didn't dodge, but took the shovel directly with his head.

The Taoist crown was smashed away, but then there was a sound of metal collision and the strong rebound made Runsheng's wrist begin to numb.

The corpse-driving Taoist took advantage of the situation and punched Runsheng.

Because he attacked first, he exposed his weakness. This punch was extremely fast and difficult to block or dodge.

Runsheng only had time to lift the Yellow River shovel and let the edge of the shovel hit the opponent's body, hoping to offset the momentum a little, and then blocked it with his elbow in front of him. In the past, he liked to fight with others with fists, but this time, he didn't dare.

"boom!"

His elbow was hit back and hit him hard. Runsheng was forced to retreat quickly. As he retreated, his blood was beating rapidly and blood was flowing out, staining his originally green clothes dark in an instant.

The arm was already twisted at this time, and Runsheng shook it forcefully to straighten it again.

His arm was broken, but now it looks normal again because he is holding on by opening the valve.

Lihua also followed the usual practice and cooperated with Jie Shunan to launch a sneak attack from the rear when Runsheng launched a frontal attack.

Moreover, this time, after the Taoist corpse-driver knocked Run Sheng back with one punch, he continued to chase Run Sheng.

This is a good opportunity.

But deep down, Lihua suddenly felt a warning sign. No, something was wrong!

Go back!

At this moment, Xie Shunan's body moved like a snake, from behind the Taoist priest and moved in front of him.

The corpse-driving Taoist priest made a long "creak" sound, turned his head, and moved forward and behind him. There were also sounds from the joints of his body, and his hands stretched forward freely.

The corpse-driving Taoist opened his mouth and a wave of air swept in, not only interrupting Lihua's retreat, but also making her move forward a little.

Lihua was shocked and swung the axe wildly. The axe hit the Taoist's hand, but only a series of sparks and faint white marks flew out.

The Taoist corpse driver grabbed the axe with his fingers, pulled it towards his body, then reached forward again and grabbed Lihua's wrist.

If you were caught by this terrifying physique, your fate would be almost certain!

Lihua raised the axe in her left hand, preparing to chop off her entire right arm to escape.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Runsheng rushed over again, swung the Yellow River shovel, and his eyes only looked at Jie Shunan who was "behind" the Taoist again.

This time, Runsheng opened fifteen valves in one breath, and was only one valve away from being fully opened. The power was much stronger than the previous attacks.

Li Zhuiyuan heard the other party's breathing suddenly stagnated, and Xie Shunan panicked.

The Taoist corpse-driver did not launch any further attacks on Lihua. He simply squeezed her hard and then pushed her forward.

Lihua's body was like a kite and flew away.

After landing on the ground, she rolled several times. When she stood up again, her right hand was a bloody mess. This is literal meaning. The fingers and palm were completely paste together. This hand was considered useless!

Fortunately, Runsheng came to rescue her in time, otherwise she would have lost at least her entire right arm.

"Bang!"

The corpse-driving Taoist priest who repelled Lihua in time was able to switch places with Jie Shunan again and meet Runsheng.

This time, the Yellow River shovel hit the corpse-driving Taoist in the chest.

Blood was oozing from the corner of Xie Shunan's mouth.

The corpse-driving Taoist priest had no injuries except for his torn robe, but some of the shock force was transmitted to Jie Shunan, causing him injuries.

But at the same time, the Taoist priest who was driving corpses also kicked Runsheng with his leg.

"boom!"

This time, Runsheng couldn't keep standing and slid backwards. This kick sent him flying and he fell heavily to the ground.

At its location, a large amount of blood stasis begins to be discharged rapidly through the valve.

Runsheng completely ignored his injuries and stood up again.

He really wanted to try opening the valves fully. Although he knew that even with the valves fully opened, he would most likely not be a match for the terrifying Taoist corpse-driver, but at that time he would have more power, and at least could injure Xie Shunan, who was controlling the Taoist corpse-driver, more seriously.

However, Runsheng understood that since Xiaoyuan did not give any orders, Xiaoyuan meant that he did not want him to be fully prepared now and he could not be paralyzed, as Xiaoyuan had other things to arrange for him to do later.

Xie Shunan spat out a mouthful of blood and began to gasp for breath while continuing to ask:

"Who is it, Grandpa, General, who are you talking to?"

Xie Shunan began to look around, wanting to check on everyone present.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Continue."

Runsheng dragged his injured body and charged again.

Lihua first looked at her completely disabled right hand again, then looked at Li Zhuiyuan who was standing in the distance: If we continue to go up like this, we will really die!
However, when her eyes finally fell on her son next to the young man, she took a deep breath, holding the axe in her left hand, and rushed forward again.

At this time, the person who was most anxious was actually Lin Shuyou.

My companions over there were already fighting to the death, but I hadn't yet succeeded in my spiritual state.

No matter what, Lin Shuyou simply held the trident in his hand, intending not to use his power to possess others, and just went ahead and did it!
He knew that the last time his master and grandfather came to Jinling, they were scared away by the Dragon King's family, but he thought it was normal because they were the Dragon King's family.

But he knew clearly that if faced with evil spirits, his master and grandfather would never back down even if they knew they could not defeat them.

Seeing that Runsheng and Lihua were almost exhausted.

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to Lin Shuyou, who waved his trident and said:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I'll go right ahead. Even if the Yin Spirit doesn't come down, our commander-in-chief will never be a coward!"

Lin Shuyou was just waiting for Brother Xiaoyuan's order, and then he heard Brother Xiaoyuan chanting.

He had heard of this scripture before, and it was a bit similar to the scriptures in his own temple... No, he had learned to recite some excerpts given to him by Brother Xiaoyuan. In fact, it was the scriptures in his own temple, which were somewhat similar to Brother Xiaoyuan's.

Only after eating good food will you realize how rough the food you ate before was.

But soon, Lin Shuyou was surprised to find that Xiaoyuan was bleeding from the nose.

What's wrong with Brother Xiaoyuan? Why does he have a nosebleed just by reciting a sutra?

Li Zhuiyuan wiped the blood from his nose with his left hand, then pressed the button on his cuff with the fingertips of his right hand, which was stained with black dog blood ink.

Raise your right hand.

Lin Shuyou immediately bent down and put his face forward.

Li Zhuiyuan recited the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra" and drew on Lin Shuyou's face with his right hand. He also did not waste his left hand with his own blood and left a blood mark.

The face painting is completed. It is not detailed enough, and can even be called rough, but it exudes a primitive atmosphere.

The mark of his left hand directly touched Lin Shuyou's forehead.

Lin Shuyou's eyes opened immediately. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his childhood, when, under the witness of his grandfather, he was led by his master to worship the Lord Yin Shen for the first time.

That day, in the dark, he saw many majestic figures. They were high above and unattainable.

Now, he saw it again, but he seemed to be standing on a high place. The once majestic figures all fell below him and became a little small.

Among them, there is a figure standing at the very end, the clearest and most familiar, he... is the White Crane Boy.

Li Zhuiyuan said:

"I,

Li Zhuiyuan,
As the heirs of the Dragon Kings of Qin and Liu, I swear hereby:

From today on, White Crane Boy will not dare to come down from the spirit realm again and will be passive and negligent.

When I succeed in reaching Jiang one day, I will personally reorganize the factions of officials and generals and rebuild their inheritance.

I will cut off your path to merit, wipe out your position as a Yin God, end your incense inheritance, and remove your name as Baihe!"

As soon as Brother Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Lin Shuyou discovered that the last figure in his "field of vision" began to tremble violently.

Lin Shuyou was even more shocked. He even had the urge to rush home and tell his master and grandfather excitedly:

Grandpa, Master, have you ever seen this kind of spirit-transmigration method that can frighten the Yin God to the point of trembling? I, your grandson, have seen it!
Li Zhuiyuan looked into Lin Shuyou's eyes and cursed:
"White Crane Boy,
You give me,
Get down here!

In an instant, Ayou's eyes turned into vertical pupils!
Every time he came down in the past, the White Crane Boy would show his arrogance and reserve in front of Li Zhuiyuan, but this time, he didn't even dare to look at Li Zhuiyuan.

The effect of something like an oath depends on the person.

Some people have good character and can keep their oaths.

Some people are capable and can fulfill their oath.

Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand forward and said, "Why are you just standing there? Get to work!"

The White Crane Boy, holding a trident, rushed directly towards the corpse-driving Taoist!
This time, when the boy took three steps, white mist appeared and a black snake moved on the trident. A strong blood light flowed between his vertical pupils.

He even descended upon us with more power. Instead of using the medium's body for hand-to-hand combat like the traditional officers and generals, He took the initiative to use magic!
When Li Zhuiyuan saw this scene, he felt that what his great-grandfather said was right: If you don't whip the mule, it will never pull the mill actively.

On the battlefield, Lihua, who was injured again and had several broken ribs, immediately had red eyes when she heard what Li Zhuiyuan had shouted before!

If you don’t know, you might think she was possessed.

Was my ears blurry? I seemed to have heard the names of the two Dragon Kings. No, at least I was sure that this boy was the descendant of the Dragon King family.

Yes, he said: He will succeed in crossing the river one day.

From then on, he lit a lamp and traveled around the world, called Zou Jiang!
People outside the rivers and lakes will never know the background of the Dragon King's family better than those on the river.

Lihua raised her head. All the injuries and fatigue in her body seemed to be gone at this moment. She became very excited and extremely positive.

"Son, look, Mom is going to earn a future for you!"

With the addition of the new force of White Crane Boy, although the Taoist corpse-driving master is still as powerful as ever and is not inferior in combat power, the intensity of the battle is raised again.

This is the intensity that Li Zhuiyuan wants, so that Xie Shunan will no longer pay attention to those "whispers".

Moreover, the young man also noticed that even though Xie Shunan was beginning to feel a little embarrassed and overwhelmed under the siege of three people, he was still pretending.

This shows that the guy has a backup plan. He should have a special method that can separate himself from the corpse-driving Taoist priest for a short period of time, and at the same time allow the corpse-driving Taoist priest to act according to his own intentions for a short period of time.

Maybe it was because of his blindness, so his acting was naturally lacking a layer. He should have realized long ago that there must be something wrong as the person who could not be looked at had not yet arrived here, but he did not bring out this layer of panic in his performance.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the steps and sat down.

By the way, he brought the swaddling clothes next to him.

“Wow…Wow…Wow…Wow…”

The child suddenly started crying.

This child is very well behaved and never cries for no reason. The reason why he is crying now is very simple, because Li Zhuiyuan's hand is secretly pinching him.

He learned this trick from his mother.

In fact, I didn't use much force, but the child was quite cooperative. With a light pinch, he started crying at the top of his lungs.

Children have high spiritual perception and can walk in the underworld even in their cradles. If they really start crying, it can actually be quite disturbing to a person's mind.

"Be good, don't cry, don't cry anymore."

Li Zhuiyuan pulled out a battle flag from his bag. His nose was still bleeding, so he wiped it. With his bloody hands, he used the cloth on the battle flag as a handkerchief and folded small animals for the child.

When the child saw it, he stopped crying immediately.

Li Zhuiyuan pinched the child lightly again. The child was stunned for a moment, and then immediately cried louder and harder.

At this moment, Runsheng and Lihua, who had just finished another round of siege, were forced to retreat. With Baihe Tongzi as the main force, the pressure on them was suddenly reduced a lot.

In fact, the boy had no way to resist the Taoist corpse-driver, after all, he was still using a mortal body, but at this moment, he did not dare to slack off at all.

Not only did he light the guiding incense early, he even took out the evil-breaking talisman needle from the backpack behind him and held it in his hand.

Xie Shunan also took the corpse-driving Taoist priest and retreated a distance.

Suddenly, a sarcastic smile appeared on Xie Shunan's lips. He pierced two fingers into his eyes and began to stir.

The eyes of the corpse-driving Taoist priest also began to emit a bloody light.

Xie Shunan stretched out his hand and pushed the corpse-driving Taoist priest on the back. The corpse-driving Taoist priest was like an arrow from a bow, breaking away from the control of the bamboo pole and rushing forward.

The Taoist's speed was so fast that there were bursts of sonic booms in the air. Only a physique as strong as his could sustain such a speed.

At this time, the three of them were in the stage of exchanging strength, especially this method of attack, which had never been demonstrated before, so everyone was unprepared.

The Taoist corpse-driver was targeting Li Zhuiyuan who was sitting there holding the child.

Runsheng's eyes were about to burst: "Xiaoyuan!"

Lihua's heart was bleeding, because that was her son's future!

No, my son is still in Qiancheng’s arms!
The boy was not passive at all. He was the first to turn around and rush to rescue, but he knew that it would be too late for him to rescue.

An inexplicable and strange pleasure rose up in the boy's heart.

But what followed was contempt and anger from the depths of his own medium's heart!
Blood gushed out of Xie Shunan's sunken eye sockets. He grinned grimly, "Hahaha, just die!"

"Snapped!"

The boy sitting there raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

The Taoist who was driving corpses suddenly stopped in front of the young man.

It even stretched out its hands backwards to dissipate the strong wind and waves it brought, and the hair on the boy's forehead fluttered gently.

Xie Shunan shook his head frantically in disbelief: "No, impossible, impossible, this is impossible, how could this happen, why is it like this!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Aren't you curious about who your great-grandfather was talking to just now? In fact, your great-grandfather was talking to me."

"Impossible, how did you do that? Impossible, you lied to me, you lied to me!"

"Your great-grandfather told me that he felt sorry for you, but at the same time, he was also very disappointed in you."

Xie Shunan's voice softened all of a sudden: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!"

“Your great-grandfather said that their generation died to defend the righteous path and protect the people, and their death was worthy.

He supports you in seeking revenge on those three families. He said that the ancestors of those three families were helping you to take revenge without any favoritism, weren't they?

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and revenge is revenge. Why do you have to create a natural disaster when it has nothing to do with innocent people?"

"Pfft..."

Xie Shunan knelt on the ground, tears of blood flowing from his eyes.

Li Zhuiyuan held the child and stood up.

Even though the general acted indifferent, and even though the ancestor of the Xie family cooperated fully, the ability to control this corpse-driving Taoist priest still reached his limit.

The level of this being is really too high. Under normal circumstances, it is really not something I can try to control now.

Moreover, Xie Shunan could actually hear his conversation with the Taoist corpse driver.

Fortunately, Xie Shunan was fighting, and as long as the intensity was high enough, he would not be able to concentrate on looking for it. Otherwise, he would really be able to ruin his own business.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "Give me the command flag. My previous promise to you will still count."

Xie Shunan nodded and took out the command flag from his waist.

"Okay, I'll give it to you... You wish!!!"

"Crack!"

The command flag was broken by Jie Shunan, and when he rubbed it with his hands, flames appeared and burned the flag completely.

“Hahahahahaha, you are dreaming, the old beast is dreaming too, all of them, worse than pigs and dogs, are dreaming!
I want to see all of you righteous people turn into evil spirits and slaughter common people, hahahahahaha!"

Once the command flag was destroyed, the northwest corner of the palace was where Tan Wenbin had mentioned the hall where people who could not be looked at directly were stored.

Wisps of black mist rose up, and those who could not look directly at it began to make seals and cast spells again, and the black vortex above appeared again.

Xie Shunan shouted hysterically: "I just want to see rivers of blood, I just want to see human tragedy, I don't want to see this world anymore, I just want to destroy it and let more people die with me, haha... What, how could it be?"

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and took out the formation flag that he had folded earlier as a toy to appease his child from the swaddling clothes. He shook it gently and the formation flag spread out, revealing formation patterns densely drawn with blood.

"It's not something advanced, just do it casually."

Li Zhuiyuan raised the formation flag and waved it, and the black vortex in the distance began to dissipate. The cursed power once again turned into wisps of black mist and returned to the group of people who could not be looked at directly. They also finished the seals and sat down again.

Xie Shunan was really quiet this time. He murmured, "Since you can do it, why do you still want this one in my hand..."

"I never wanted the banner in your hand, but I was afraid that you would use it to interfere and ruin my business.

It is not important whether you can get the flag or not; it is important that it is not in your hands. "

Li Zhuiyuan walked forward and threw the swaddling clothes directly to the White Crane Boy.

The White Crane Boy was stunned, but he took the initiative to hold the child in his arms.

He felt really guilty and didn't dare to look at the boy. In a hurry, in order to hide his emotions, he even shook the child in his arms.

Xie Shunan: "So, you have been lying to me, including that promise, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head:

“The promise is real.

But I asked you to hand over the flag at the beginning because I really hoped that you could destroy it with your own hands.

Fortunately, you are very obedient, just like this child,
Very good. "
