Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 157

Li Zhuiyuan doesn’t know who he is, at least, the current Li Zhuiyuan doesn’t know.

But the boy could get a strong sense of familiarity from the blurry figure in front of him, as if he had been with him day and night.

I searched every corner of my memory, but still couldn't find any trace of him.

The boy took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He was now sure of one thing:

I must have lost my memory.

The covering of memory by "brain fog" can provide more operating space for dreams. It is a kind of shackle that traps you before punishing you.

Normally speaking, considering the level of the dream ghost and the current conditions it has, the "brain fog" it creates in the dream is almost unsolvable.

Li Zhuiyuan's advantage is that he will not become depressed and numb under the punishment, but will take the initiative to overcome and adapt.

This kind of opponent requires Meng Gui to put more energy to deal with.

But in reality, if I could see this blurry person in front of me every time in this dream, the impact would be enough to pry open the shackles of brain fog.

Even if it was just a small gap, with the boy's intelligence, he could quickly analyze and calculate, deduce more things, and thus break the entire set of shackles.

When he realized that he had lost his memory, Li Zhuiyuan stood there and began to think.

He began to re-examine the world he lived in, the people and things here.

Your own mother, the old man on the pirate ship, the girl in the bumper car park, and the four scenes in the haunted house that touched your heart, what symbolic meanings do they have?

When self-awareness begins to appear, dreams no longer have a perfect sense of immersion. When self-awareness is strong enough, the dream begins to collapse.

Many times before, every time at this stage, the dream ghost would pull Li Zhuiyuan out of the dream and then "throw" him back in.

This is the path dependence of its success. No matter how powerful a thorn is, if it is thrown in and tortured a few times, its edges will be slowly smoothed out.

This is also the reason why Li Zhuiyuan could clearly feel the "brain fog" gradually forming and his memory gradually being covered up when he entered the amusement park earlier.

The shackles on his body were put on and pried off over and over again, and after doing this many times... the shackles naturally loosened.

The man sitting on the chair lowered his head, looked at the boy, and said:
"You're doing it again."

Li Zhuiyuan reluctantly opened his eyes and asked while continuing to think intensively:
"Can you help me stop it?"

"Tsk."

The vague figure made a smacking sound. Every time he took the initiative to talk to the boy, the boy could extract the meaning from his tone and content and ask different questions. "

The first question: Who are you?

Second question: Where is this?

The third question: Am I dreaming?

……

This time, he directly asked for help.

The figure knew what stage the boy in front of him was in. His dream memories were not the same each time, and every time he saw him was the first time, but he could only rely on his own words to make a superimposed analysis.

This boy accepted the responses he had made so many times in the past.

This thinking is so rational.

However, the boy will soon disappear.

Just like many times before, whenever the boy was about to understand, he would disappear, and then after a while, he would walk in front of him again.

But then, the boy's actions made the figure subconsciously sit up slightly.

"Snapped!"

The boy slapped his forehead hard and shook his head.

Others do this to force themselves to stay awake, but the boy does this to interrupt his own wakefulness.

He interrupted his own thoughts and stopped analyzing the current environment, forcibly maintaining the sense of immersion in staying here.

It's rare to be confused.

"Hehehe..."

The figure laughed and he thought the kid was becoming interesting.

Li Zhuiyuan began to take deep breaths, forcing his thoughts to stop wandering, and to slow his brain down as much as possible so as not to think too much.

The boy turned his head again to look at the blurry figure and asked:

"What should we do next?"

The strong sense of familiarity made Li Zhuiyuan subconsciously treat the other party as his own.

The figure asked back, "Why us?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “I don’t know.”

Figure: "I don't know you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't remember you either."

Figure: "So, what is our relationship?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "We should be related."

Figure: "Child, don't recognize relatives casually."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Aren't you going to do something?"

Figure: "What do you think I need to do?"

"Like, get out of here."

"Oh?"

"You don't seem to like being here."

"Not really."

Li Zhuiyuan asked again: "Then what you don't like is that you can appear here?"

"Tsk."

This was the second time the figure made a clicking sound.

A child whose memory was overwritten is still so smart.

Most people in this world, when looking back at their childhood, will feel that they were silly and cute.

Figure: "How old are you?"

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand: "I can't think about this now."

After thinking for a while, it will disappear, and then when you see this figure again, everything will start all over again.

The figure reached out and touched his face. This question was actually not very sophisticated, because no matter how old this child really was, even if he was an old man in reality, it still could not change the fact that he was extremely smart when he was a child.

Li Zhuiyuan spoke again: "Why don't you wish you could be here?"

Figure: "Why do you think I would tell you?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you didn't want to chat, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk just now."

Figure: "Well... I originally thought I was dead, but my appearance here proves that I am not dead yet."

"You're not dead?"

"Why, you think I should be happy about this."

“No…” Li Zhuiyuan put his hands on his chest, “I feel sad about this.”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, but it seems like if you died, it would be something to be very happy about."

"Indeed, for me."

Li Zhuiyuan: “No, it’s for me.”

The figure fell silent.

Li Zhuiyuan continued: "Why didn't you die?"

"Ok?"

"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you die? Why don't you die peacefully? You deserve to die!"

The figure lowered its head, studying the boy closely.

The boy's loss and regret did not seem fake.

But it is hard to imagine that a little guy who doesn't even have complete memories is feeling sad for being alive at this moment, and feeling sad from the bottom of his heart.

Figure: "Sorry to disappoint you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I should be the one to apologize for wishing you dead for no reason and for cursing you."

The figure shook his head: "No, this is a blessing."

Then, the two people, one big and one small, one clear and one blurry, fell into silence.

This time, it was the figure who took the initiative to break the silence. He asked:
"What's your last name?"

"Li, my name is Li Zhuiyuan. But I'm not sure if the name I use here is correct."

"Oh, your last name is Li."

"Are you worried about something?"

"No." The figure waved his hand, "Because I have no offspring at all, I am sure of that."

"Very strange?"

"If you live long enough, or exist long enough, you will have these strange thoughts."

"Living too long is meaningless. It will dull all the good memories of the past."

"I agree." The figure said with a smile, "Haha, it seems that your real age should be quite old. If not eighty, you should be seventy."

"That's right." Li Zhuiyuan knocked his forehead again, interrupting his instinctive thinking process. "I also feel that when chatting with you, I have a strange feeling. As you said, I must be very old to resonate with you."

"In fact, no matter how old you are, in my eyes, you are just a little guy."

"Why?"

"It's not that there aren't people in this world who have existed longer than me, but even those who are my age or even younger than me by many generations shouldn't be stranded here like you are now."

"Oh, that's a very novel idea. How long have you lived?"

"It's impossible to calculate. Can you give me an accurate date?"

"Sorry, I can't." Li Zhuiyuan spread out his hands and looked at his tender white palms. "As you can see, I am so old, but I have become a child."

"Yeah. But let's put it this way, I've spent most of my life thinking about how to die."

Li Zhuiyuan continued to look at his hands: "But I still want to live."

"you sure?"

"Sure, I just seem to want you to die, but I don't have any thoughts of committing suicide. I probably still want to live."

"Little guy, you actually spent so much time preparing for this sentence?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Give me a hand."

"Why do you think that I, who refused to help you at first, would change my mind and choose to help you after chatting with you for a while?"

"I don't know." Li Zhuiyuan shook his head, "but I think I would do the same."

"Ok?"

"If it's interesting."

“Hehehe…hahahahahahahaha.”

The figure just laughed normally at first, then laughed louder and louder.

He felt a strange sense of comfort when chatting with this boy. Others were just flattering him, but this boy seemed to be constantly patting his heart.

Figure: "Okay, I'll help you."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Thank you.”

The figure stood up, left the chair, pointed outside, and said, "In fact, this place should have collapsed a long time ago, but now it's stable again."

"why?"

"Because too many people came in, originally only one more person would have caused the whole place to collapse, but the problem is that, including me, three people came in this time.

The three parties were all a little wary of each other, which led to a three-kingdoms situation.

Or, it could be said that neither party is too lazy to deal with the matter, and feels that it is too embarrassing to save face, so both parties hope that the other party will handle the matter."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm sorry, I made you lose face."

“It’s okay. There was a time in the past when I really valued my reputation. I was afraid that it would fall to the ground and be stepped on by others one day.

Now, it doesn’t matter.

But, what on earth did you provoke? It's not just that little devil outside, right? "

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you want to help to the end?"

Figure: "It's just a matter of convenience. After I got you out, you got stuck again. Didn't my efforts go in vain?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't think I have any enemies."

Figure: "So someone else is looking for trouble?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “It should be.”

Figure: "So what do you want to do?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "If possible, I still hope not to have any enemies."

Figure: "It seems that you are also a cruel and ruthless old thing. Your descendants dare not even breathe in front of you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I really want to meet them."

"It's meaningless. If a fool is born, it will be annoying to see. It will be an eyesore."

Li Zhuiyuan thought about these words for a while and felt a resonance in his heart.

He can't stand his own kids, he's a moron.

But on second thought, he would feel very repulsed if his child was very smart.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't think I have any children."

"you sure?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because I don't like children."

Figure: "Me too."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his head, looked at the figure walking in front of him, and asked:

"So, is this the reason why you saw me come many times before but never took the initiative to intervene?"

The figure didn't answer.

"Did you hate me at first?"

The figure still didn't answer.

"Or is it your past self that you hate?"

The figure finally spoke this time. He said, "Stop talking. I'm starting to feel sick."

"I'm sorry if I made you feel sick."

"It's okay. That was before. It felt pretty good to chat with you."

"Can I continue chatting with you after we leave here?"

"I guess we can't talk anymore. You can't find me where I am."

"That's a shame."

"Let me take you out first."

"it is good."

The figure stretched out his hand, and Li Zhuiyuan handed over his hand.

Two people, one big and one small, walked holding hands and out of the corridor.

Li Lan, still answering questions there.

She was answering the third question. She was holding a brush and drawing in the air.

Figure: "Who is she?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "My mother."

Figure: "In your opinion, your mother is omnipotent?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "She is just very smart."

Figure: "I'm leaving here. Do you need me to say hello again?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I won't go. It will make me sick. She will feel sick too."

Figure: "It's good, mother and child are connected by heart."

The figure led Li Zhuiyuan all the way through the empty amusement park, and finally, they arrived at the ticket gate.

"That thing has tried to change this place several times, but because I'm here, it can't change."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me. It didn't change those two things, but only changed me. If it really changes them, wouldn't I be very embarrassed?"

"I'm very curious, who are those two people? Do you know them?"

"Don't mention it, I actually know those two people."

Then, the figure suddenly laughed again, "Hahahahahaha!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The funny thing is that one of them is not a human, but a thing with a strong sense of existence in the context of traditional culture?"

Figure: "It would have been great if you were born a thousand years earlier. Then I could take you with me when I go to commit suicide. Even if I fail, I will have someone to chat with and I won't be bored."

"I shouldn't live that long."

"There are many ways to live a long life, but the price is that you will become neither human nor turtle."

"Is that a turtle?"

"That's right. Here's a piece of advice for you. When you get older, make arrangements for your own funeral as soon as possible. Life is only perfect with death."

"Been taught a lesson."

The figure let go of Li Zhuiyuan's hand, walked towards the ticket office, and walked out.

On the bridge in front of the ticket office, Meng Gui's eyes widened, and the candle flame in his hand began to float rapidly.

In fact, it has been waiting for the impending blow, and has simulated the operation of diverting the disaster away in its mind countless times.

But it couldn't afford to offend any of the three parties, but these three parties stayed there tacitly.

The feeling of waiting to be ripped off is more painful than being ripped off yourself.

Now, there is one who has come out.

While Meng Gui was terrified, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not prepared to kneel down, because it knew that it was meaningless to kneel down, kowtow, or beg for mercy because of what it had done.

But it still knelt.

When that person appeared, it knelt down in the dream where it was the main character.

There are some beings whose gaze, even if it is blurry, as long as he really pays attention to you, your so-called "guts" will not be able to support your knees at all.

"How did you get me into this..."

There is one thing that is unclear about the figure.

Previously, he was immersed in the huge decadent feeling that he was not dead yet. But now, he was more than willing to explore how this little thing could pull him into the dream.

Moreover, it wasn't just himself who was being pulled, but also the other two.

This is equivalent to a small rich man in a country village setting up a simple banquet and inviting three royal relatives.

But before the figure could finish asking the question, he found that he was disappearing.

The first things to dissipate were his feet, and in a short while, they had dissipated to his waist.

He waved his hand again and his arm disappeared.

Instead of being panicked, the figure was overjoyed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter frightened the dream ghost kneeling on the bridge.

It is the maker of dreams and is best at creating bizarre dreams, but that doesn't mean that it likes to be rubbed like this.

But when the dream ghost mustered up the courage and looked forward again, it was shocked to find that the terrifying blurry figure had disappeared.

The first thing it wanted to do was to try to modify Li Zhuiyuan's dream.

Cannot be modified.

This dream is still out of my control.

So, how about pulling the boy out of the dream again?

But this time, the boy did not wake up from his dream, and it seemed that he had no reason to do so.

Moreover, that big shot appeared and disappeared again, without doing anything to me.

There was no further attack on the east and west sides of the bridge.

Although I am still like sitting on the crater of a volcano, as long as the magma has not erupted completely, I'd better... do nothing.

This is its "home", but when the three people came in, it, as its owner, could only kneel beside them.

The figure disappeared in front of Li Zhuiyuan, and then appeared in front of Li Zhuiyuan again.

It suddenly became badly damaged, but was recovering quickly, and its missing arms and legs gradually grew back.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Is it dangerous outside?"

The previous figure spoke in a very arrogant tone, as if solving this matter was easy, but seeing him coming back with broken arms and legs, it seemed that this was not the case.

Figure: "I have good news for you. I'm dead!"

An inexplicable joy rose from the bottom of Li Zhuiyuan's heart.

"Congratulations!"

Figure: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Li Zhuiyuan stood there for a while, then sat down.

The figure was so happy that he sang and danced for quite a long time.

Although still blurry, the dance is elegant and has a sense of celebrity style.

Finally, he stopped.

"I am dead."

"Ah."

"I am not the real me now, because the real me is dead, and I have died successfully."

"I know, but now we should get down to business."

"Business is tricky."

"Ok?"

"Because the real me is dead, and the me now is probably just the fragments of me left in this world."

"Odds and ends?"

"I left behind a lot of these things. You know, sometimes when suicide fails, something is always lost. No wonder, I always feel that not only you, but I also seem to have forgotten something. So this is what happened."

"a little complicated."

"simply put……"

"So you can't do what you were able to do to help me before?"

"You summed it up exactly. I walk out of here, and I disappear."

"That……"

"There's nothing we can do about it. But don't be impatient. You can wait until one of the two sides loses patience first and then just wave his hand to break this place open."

“So negative.”

"indeed."

"Is there no other way?"

"I am just a shadow now, what can I do?"

"How can I help?"

"you?"

"Correct."

"Have you ever learned the formation?"

"Array? Is it the kind of pattern and arrangement that is often seen in scriptures and ancient tombs?"

"Think again."

"I can't think about it anymore. If I do, I might have to start all over again. But what I can be sure of is that I had never really come into contact with these things before I was this age."

"What about Feng Shui?"

"I haven't learned anything."

"What about the magic?"

"I haven't learned it." "Do you know other things about Xuanmen?"

“No.”

"That's useless." The figure also sat down, "There's nothing we can do. Let's wait for the two sides to make a move."

"Then you are stuck in the middle, so wouldn't that make you the pillar that stabilizes the sea?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Li Zhuiyuan changed his kneeling position, facing the figure in front of him, and asked:

"I don't know what you just said, so can you teach me?"

Figure: "Learn now?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yeah!”

The figure waved to Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan crawled forward a few steps and came in front of the figure.

"Snapped!"

The figure hit Li Zhuiyuan on the head with a chestnut.

"pain."

The figure laughed and scolded: "Little old thing, learning now, do you think you are me?"

"My brain is still OK."

"That's true."

"So, can't you learn it?"

"Why learn these? Just wait for others to help you break the impasse."

"But I don't know how long I have to wait. And what if the real me doesn't have that long to wait?"

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, but your approach is not feasible."

The figure stood up, seemed to wave his blurry sleeves, and then walked back.

Li Zhuiyuan also stood up and followed him.

"What if?"

"There is no such thing as a contingency. Even if I were in this position, I would not be able to do this. The time is too short. It is meaningless. Don't worry. The two will remain deadlocked for a while, but one of them will definitely be unable to hold back.

After all, being dragged into this place is a very embarrassing and inexplicable thing in itself."

"I want to learn."

"Do you know what I hate most in my life?"

"Teach people?"

"Yes, that's right. Every time I want to teach someone something, I have to mash it up, chew it, and cook it until it's a flavor he can swallow. Then I use a spoon to feed it to him, spoonful by spoonful."

"I can get my own spoon."

"Ah."

"You don't have anything else to do right now anyway."

"I'd rather we sit down and talk than have a lecture."

"I don't even know what I'm like in real life. I won't feel involved when I talk to you."

"Weren't you chatting nicely earlier? Are you just trying to cheer me up and help you?"

"Correct."

"Even the word 'right' is meant to make me happy, right?"

"Correct."

"Haha." The figure walked into the corridor, and his eyes swept across the third table, which was a painting that required you to complete, "You might really have some talent."

"I told you, I'm a fast learner."

"But this subject is different from learning other things. It's completely different. Besides, you don't have any foundation at all now."

“This shows that I have a lot of room for improvement.”

"You're so annoying."

"sorry."

The figure's feet moved on the ground, and soon, a complex and casual pattern was outlined.

"Come on, find the center of the formation for me."

The figure said, and sat back in his chair.

As soon as he sat down, he saw the boy already standing in the lines.

The figure stood up suddenly.

Because the place where the boy was standing was the center of the formation!
Figure: "Tell me the reason."

Li Zhuiyuan: “No reason.”

Figure: "Make one up."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Follow your feelings.”

Figure: "A very good reason. There is a type of person who is naturally close to formations."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you talking about me?"

Figure: "But it is often difficult for such people to reach the level of a true formation master."

Li Zhuiyuan: "The professor also said so. He said that we are too smart and have never experienced the hardship of studying. We tend to think highly of ourselves and ignore the role of the platform."

"Your professor is quite capable. In this world, 99% of people don't need to rely on talent. Hard work is enough.

Only that small group at the top of the tower needs to rely on talent, and those people often work harder than others.

Do you understand? "

Li Zhuiyuan: "I understand. You are bragging."

The figure bent down and traced on the ground with his fingertips. Soon, a more complex formation pattern appeared.

After finishing the painting, the figure clapped his hands.

Li Zhuiyuan: “It’s incomplete.”

The figure continued to clap his hands: "Yes, I'll let you complete it."

Li Zhuiyuan picked up a stone, squatted down and started to complete it.

It was a literal completion. I drew it directly without thinking or hesitation.

The figure stopped clapping.

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and said, "It's fixed. It should be correct, right?"

Figure: "Continue?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Okay.”

The figure began to be drawn in the front, and Li Zhuiyuan completed the work in the back.

At first, the two of them were walking one in front and one behind in the corridor.

But painting takes longer, while filling in is quicker. Gradually, Li Zhuiyuan began to become aligned with the figure.

When the figure was drawing a formation, Li Zhuiyuan didn't wait for him to finish the question, he followed the figure and finished drawing the question together.

The two of them painted from one end of the corridor to the other.

At last,
The two people, one big and one small, straightened up together and clapped their hands.

Figure: "There is a problem."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Is there something wrong with the painting?"

Figure: "It's not a mistake. I mean, there's something wrong with you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "So, the real me has studied formations?"

Figure: "More than that."

Li Zhuiyuan: "The real me, I have a high level of attainment in formations?"

Figure: "More than that."

"That is?"

"The real you, no matter how high your attainments in formations are, even if you have influenced this place, it is impossible for you to see the formations I created and learn them at a glance, and even draw them with me!"

"Did you leave any writings?"

“I’ve written some books.”

"Then I should have seen it, so I wrote it down?"

"You can't bring your memories here. You've learned everything."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Thank you.”

Figure: "I'm sorry."

"What does it mean?"

"It means we can proceed to the next step. Will you go the dark way?"

"will not."

"I'll teach you." As he said that, the figure raised his hand and flicked a finger at Li Zhuiyuan's forehead.

"boom!"

Li Zhuiyuan began to retreat backwards. After he stopped, he felt very light, as if he could float.

"Are you feeling unwell?" A figure walked over.

"No."

"Can we go back?"

"End this situation?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhuiyuan raised his right hand. He didn't know why he raised his right hand. It must be some habit that drove him. Then he snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

When I opened my eyes again, he was back.

The figure still stood before him.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Is this walking in the underworld? Is it similar to the soul leaving the body as recorded in strange stories?"

"Almost." The figure turned around and picked up a pen from the table.

"How did I do?"

"So-so."

As he spoke, the figure waved his hand, and a strange light appeared in front of the two of them, with various light circles evolving alternately.

“How do I do this?”

"Try to tidy up."

Li Zhuiyuan began to follow his feelings, waving his hands in front of him to adjust continuously. Soon, a series of meteorological patterns with special meanings appeared in front of the two.

Figure: "You should have taught people this method before, teaching them to read qi."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Does that mean the real me also has disciples?"

Figure: "This is not something to be happy about."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Indeed.”

The figure held a pen and quickly drew a black leopard in front of him. The leopard roared and pounced towards Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan began to run away.

"Why are you running? Use magic to attack it!"

"I won't!"

"Keep following your feelings." The figure drew another leopard, attacking from the front and back.

Li Zhuiyuan fell to the ground and then slapped the ground with his hands.

"Buzz!"

Strands of black mist rushed out from under the feet of the two black panthers, and then the two black panthers were firmly suppressed.

The figure looked puzzled: "What the hell is this?"

Li Zhuiyuan climbed up, pointed at them, and asked, "I actually know magic?"

Figure: "You know formations, Feng Shui, and walking in the dark, so how can you not know magic? Can't someone who can write poetry know how to read?"

"If I couldn't use it just now, would you have told them to stop?"

"You know I can't. That's why I can bring out your potential."

"This is dangerous."

"You've already done something more dangerous." The figure waved his hand, and the two black panthers disappeared, leaving black whip marks on the ground. "I say, how did you get there?"

"what?"

"I have seen his descendants, but they used the Twelve Dharmas."

"Is it the one I just used? The family name is Li?"

"It's not this surname, and the one you use is better than the descendants of their family."

"Why is this happening?"

"It's not surprising, but it's not appropriate to be too involved with him."

"He has a bad temper?"

"It's more than bad. Let's not talk about that for now. Ha, could it be that you are also destined to be a turtle?"

"I've never kept a turtle, at least not in my memory."

"Those turtles hold grudges very well and are difficult to deal with. I never wanted to get involved with them before. Hiss, no, that shouldn't be the case. Those two places should have nothing to do with you.

It's not you who brought all three companies here, it's not because of you, those two companies have their own traction. "

"Towing?"

"Bloodline, curse."

"Then you were... me?"

"I didn't think it was you at first, but now, I suspect it was you."

"Are you sure you didn't leave any offspring?"

"No."

"Then it's not blood relationship. Is there a third option?"

"No."

"Doesn't that mean I was..."

"Have your parents ever taught you to read less serious books?"

"I'm a little confused now."

"Write down your birth date and I'll calculate it for you."

Li Zhuiyuan immediately wrote down his eight characters. The figure held the pen and moved it on the paper, but he did not lower his head. Instead, he stared at Li Zhuiyuan's face.

"Wow!"

The paper on the table suddenly caught fire, and also burned the figure's right hand. Without hesitation, he turned his left hand into a hand knife, and with a "puff" sound, he cut off the palm of his right hand.

"Ouch." The figure looked at Li Zhuiyuan again, "Haha, ouch."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Oh, what does this mean?"

Figure: "Little old thing, you're walking... You're on the boat."

"Is this some kind of nickname?"

“It’s unlucky to say it directly.

But you are really ruthless and ruthless, and you play really well, hahahaha!"

The figure smiled, raised his head and looked at the sky above the amusement park.

"I still don't understand..."

The figure lowered his head and looked at Li Zhuiyuan, saying word by word:

"There's no need for you to continue pretending to be pitiful here, and there's no need to seek any shelter. This is the ditch you dug yourself, and the three of us are just idiots you brought in."

Li Zhuiyuan's face showed pain. He grabbed his hair tightly and forced himself not to wake up.

"No need to resist anymore." The figure sighed, "You are safe. This time, they will be killed by you."

"When I wake up, I have to start all over again, and then I won't remember you?"

"Ah."

"I still want to talk to you for a while."

"Is it as simple as just wanting to talk for a while?"

"if not?"

"Put yourself in my shoes. I want more. I believe you do the same."

The figure said as he looked at his right arm, which hadn't healed yet and was still broken.

"Damn it, this water is still so fierce."

Li Zhuiyuan: "What do you think I'm missing?"

"I'm not you."

"You just said that you can put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, what do you think is missing?"

The figure stretched out his hand and pointed to the east and west sides: "They are both too reserved. I think they lack liveliness."

Li Zhuiyuan: "That's probably what I think too."

The boy raised his head and looked at the figure's face. Although the other person was still blurry, they could catch each other's gaze.

Figure: "Then, add another fire?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "You teach me."

Figure: "If we continue at a normal pace, sooner or later one of us will get upset and raise his hand to wipe away something, but how can this be satisfying?

One of them must be made extremely angry and frustrated, and must be willing to be the knife at all costs!"

The figure looked down at his lost right hand again:
"How can it be enough to just cut off one hand?

No matter what, you have to chop off its limbs, gouge out its eyes, cut off its tongue, cut off its ears, gouge out its nose, and then find a fresh dung vat to serve as a sacrifice to the people."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Can you do it?”

Figure: "You are definitely not capable enough, but don't worry, I am here for you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You teach, and I will do it."

Figure: "Choose one of the two first, choose which one to anger."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You come and help me choose."

Figure: “Actually, angering either one of them will bring you more trouble in the future, but I suggest that you let that turtle go for now.

Because the other one, at least, was still human, and he was restricted and couldn't leave that place.

Most importantly, I suspect that what drew him here from that other place was blood ties.

This means that his blood descendants are on your side.

He certainly doesn't care about not having any descendants, but having a descendant following you will at least give you something to talk to in the future, and when you choose your own death penalty, you can choose a more painless one."

"Are the consequences so serious?"

"Scared?"

"More fun."

"Tsk."

The figure walked out of the corridor and came to the open space outside.

"I have written some books in my spare time before, but they were all very basic, sorry."

"Why do you keep apologizing to me?"

"Because I am really embarrassed. My original intention in writing those books might not have been so friendly. I was a bit naive at the time."

"What if it were you now?"

"I will write with greater malice."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Thank you.”

“Little old man, look carefully, I don’t know exactly how many of my books you have read, and my memory is not complete now, but I still have some things that are not left in the books.

You must read carefully, study carefully, and understand carefully. It is not enough to just memorize it by rote.

The cause and effect here are complicated, and the two statues are here. I am afraid that after a dream, the tide will wash away your memory of this place, and how much you can really learn, just like you did before, you can only understand the part that you have thoroughly understood. "

Formation patterns began to form under the figure's feet, his left arm waved to form spells, and his mouth moved in and out to create illusions of weather.

This is his understanding of formations, techniques and feng shui.

Li Zhuiyuan had a premonition that if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it deeply after he woke up and regained his memory.

But how can a teacher teach three classes at the same time?
Li Zhuiyuan began to do three things at once.

As far as I can remember, I have never tried this before, because there are not many application scenarios, and I only try to do two things at once.

But somehow, I was able to do three things at once and it went surprisingly smoothly.

The formation, magic and feng shui displayed by the figure seemed to be divided into three parts by the boy himself, and all appeared on the three chessboards in front of him.

The external form is not important, just use black and white chess pieces to record its charm!

First, fully understand the inner core and the outer branches, and then you can slowly work backwards to complete them when you have time.

The figure did not stop, and Li Zhuiyuan quickly made moves on the three chess boards to keep up with the progress.

The boy even had the energy to think about other things:

It seems that I will like playing Go in the future, and my Go skills will be much better than now.

At the same time, the boy still had some doubts:
What kind of difficult and complicated situation will I have to deal with in the future, yet I can do three things at once so smoothly?

Time passes slowly like this, but in dreams, the feeling of the speed of time is distorted.

Suddenly, Li Zhuiyuan groaned and fell to the ground, with blood oozing from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

The figure also stopped teaching.

Li Zhuiyuan looked up in astonishment, looked at him, and asked in confusion: "Are you trying to secretly control me?"

Just now, he sensed a special will trying to control his thoughts, and here, the only ones who could be called independent individuals were himself and him.

The figure remained silent.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to ask: "Why, why do you want to control me?"

The figure sighed, "Ah, you even learned this."

"I have learned it?"

"As I said, only things that you have thoroughly understood can be expressed here."

"so what?"

The figure bent down, looked at Li Zhuiyuan, and asked cautiously:
"Little thing, are you sick?"

Li Zhuiyuan's pupils shrank.

The figure reached out his hand and patted Li Zhuiyuan on the shoulder: "No wonder I was dragged here. I was still thinking about the reason before, haha, I ended up here."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I can't understand."

"Little thing, since you have that disease, then you are not old. Your real age should not be that old. Maybe, you are just a little older than you are now."

"My real age?"

"Because when I was drawing the formation just now, I noticed that you have no habit of using martial arts. You haven't practiced martial arts yet, so you're probably not old enough yet."

"I'm still underage?"

"Damn, what a beast!"

The figure suddenly roared.

This anger made Li Zhuiyuan feel puzzled.

"She's still a child, how can you be such a beast!"

"What are you trying to say?"

"It will definitely make things more difficult for you. It will deliberately compete with you and make things difficult for you. This is not because it has emotions or because it has become bad, but because I have been here."

"Because...you've been here?"

"It will never allow a second me to appear."
