Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 158

Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

Because part of the boy's memory was still being overwritten, he was unable to understand many things in the previous conversation due to the lack of necessary cognitive conditions.

But now, he felt that he understood something.

Not only did I feel like I understood it, I also found myself strangely familiar with this process, the narrative style that uses a large number of pronouns to make innuendos.

Li Zhuiyuan frowned slightly. He was very curious about what kind of life he would live in the future. Why couldn't he even speak clearly and had to beat around the bush?

"Little guy, do you really understand?"

"Ah."

"Talk about it."

"You only care about your own happiness and have left the road completely blocked, leaving no way for others to follow."

"The words are rough but the reasoning is not rough."

"So my troubles 'in the future' are your fault?"

"How can you blame me? You see, I didn't leave any offspring, so how could I have thought that many years later, a little guy like you would get the same disease as me and go down the same path?"

"indeed."

"How much of what I just demonstrated to you did you understand?"

“I have thoroughly understood the core. Even if the memory of this dream is blurred, I can still follow my feelings and deduce the spells, formations, and feng shui.

I have a feeling it’s not that hard, it seems like I do it all the time.”

“Normal, after all, you have even restored that guy’s twelve decrees.

To be honest, if we hadn't done this, if you and the descendant of the Yin family stood in front of him together in the future, and you said your last name was Yin and the other one was a fake, I'm afraid he would probably slap the real descendant to death and acknowledge you as his biological father."

"So outrageous?"

"For people who have existed for a long time, blood descendants have no meaning to them."

"Too."

"Let's get started."

"it is good."

During the previous teaching demonstration, the figure had already arranged the formation and adjusted the Feng Shui layout. Now Li Zhuiyuan only needed to sit in it and start driving it by himself.

The figure stood behind Li Zhuiyuan, put his hand on the boy's head, and said in a deep voice:
“Whether it’s humans, gods, or ghosts, they all have spiritual thoughts. The difference is that evil spirits are hated by heaven and earth, so their spiritual thoughts are generally imperfect, making them easier to control. But it doesn’t mean that we can only control them.

Gods have myriad transformations. Mountains and rivers have become spirits, ghost kings have joined the ranks, and incense has shaped their shapes. However, when they walk in the world, they are all spiritual bodies, so they can be deceived and played around with in the palm of their hands.

If you want to control them, you must first remove their enchantment. After peeling off that layer of skin, you will find that they are actually just like that."

Li Zhuiyuan felt a sense of recognition.

It seems that I have come into contact with some gods?
The figure continued, “Ordinary people’s spiritual thoughts are weak, so it is difficult to capture them, but you can lend him your spirit, first help him store water, and then guide it with your own mind.

Because of our special pathologies, you and I are not affected by this method.

However, this method should not be abused, as it can easily lead to disaster and is not tolerated by the Way of Heaven. "

“What does it mean to not abuse?”

"If it is used for the right purpose, it is not abused."

"understood."

"Close your eyes and concentrate. I will take you on a tour of the heavens first."

Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes, and the person behind him also closed his eyes.

The next moment, Li Zhuiyuan felt that his spiritual will suddenly became clear, like a person walking in the wilderness, experiencing the changing weather and seasons.

Then, his gaze moved higher and higher, gradually moving away from that person and coming above him. From another perspective, he began to witness his walking and watched the spring, summer, autumn and winter rotating around him.

This is the artistic conception in teaching.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that the reason why this blurry figure dared to teach in this way was because he was sure that he had already mastered the art.

What the figure does is to continuously expand the horizon for itself on this basis.

In the boy's current memory, Li Lan often took him to see a psychologist, and many times under hypnosis, which led to him sometimes reverse hypnotizing the psychologist to make the doctor calm down when he was bored, so as to pass the boring treatment time.

Hypnosis is one-on-one. First, you lure the subject out and then use their memory environment to guide them in order to achieve the desired goal. Nightmares are also based on this principle.

What the shadow taught me was to build a new environment to directly replace it.

Li Zhuiyuan finally understood what the figure meant by "not tolerated by heaven".

The boy "doesn't know" what the evil spirit refers to specifically now, but he feels that even if it is an evil spirit, it would be difficult to accept such "extremely evil" magic.

A week ends.

Li Zhuiyuan slowly opened his eyes. He suddenly felt that what he saw had not changed, but he had a new feeling.

The figure said, "How do you feel, little one?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "You were hiding something just now."

The figure grabbed the boy's head, shook it back and forth, and cursed angrily:
"Brat, if you didn't have the same disease as me, I really couldn't teach you this secret method. Teaching you would only harm you, just like the guy who taught you this."

"So, I have a master?"

"That person is probably not your master, but your enemy."

"Then why didn't he kill me?"

"He wants you to die."

"He's pretty good then."

"That's something he didn't expect. He might have thought you and I were very similar, but he didn't expect you to be this similar."

"He did teach me something after all. He must have been the one who showed me your book."

"He should have only that one copy in his hand. I deliberately scattered the rest after I finished writing them. He probably doesn't have that kind of luck."

"Good fortune?"

"When I calculated your fate just now, I not only calculated that you were going boating, but also calculated that you have great fortune."

“Is this a good thing?”

"Of course. However, if it weren't for your endless good fortune, I would really suspect that you had practiced some evil method to steal other people's luck. That would be too low-level."

"Is it too much?"

"So much so that even if you were busy doing good deeds since your mother's womb, you wouldn't have had enough time to accumulate such a large amount."

"Our ancestors accumulated virtues."

"It's of a different nature. I doubt if anyone has taken the initiative to exchange lives with you."

“Luck is a good thing, right?”

"nonsense."

"Who would be willing to give these to me in exchange?"

"You should ask yourself. You are a good actor and a good deceiver. You may make people happy and willing to give you everything."

"It doesn't seem good to lie about this."

"Indeed, but at least they are sincere to you."

"I really want to clear my brain fog and go see who it is."

"Once this matter is over, you have plenty of time. Let's move on to the next step."

"Open the formation and attract Feng Shui!"

"open!"

Li Zhuiyuan began to activate the formation and at the same time adjusted the Feng Shui pattern.

The figure had already prepared the most difficult part of the side dishes, and all he needed to do now was to stir-fry them in the pan.

Li Zhuiyuan didn’t know whether he would be able to do this in the future.

In fact, he won’t.

He is good at formations and is also proficient in feng shui. He can use formations to control feng shui or use feng shui to guide formations, but he cannot integrate formations and feng shui into one.

Because of his "ignorance", he doesn't know how much advantage he has gained this time.

To a certain extent, it can be said that through the hands-on teaching of the figure, he has elevated the core of his three ways, "the Way of Array", "the Way of Feng Shui" and "the Way of Magic", to a higher level.

The formation is activated, and the twelve Earthly Branches start to operate. Each of them has a pictogram. At first glance, they appear to be the twelve zodiac animals, but they actually contain many mysteries.

Li Zhuiyuan felt a sense of certainty in his heart.

It was as if he had experienced this scene before.

Or maybe he had already known that the figure had a similar habitual style and liked to use the form of an animal to perform magic.

This may also be because he does not like to communicate with others, at least he used to, and his early habits gradually formed a fixed style.

The formation pattern was activated, the Rat opened the formation, the Ox arranged the formation, and the Tiger appeared in front. The three sides took turns one after another, and the next moment, a ball of black mist appeared in front of Li Zhuiyuan.

The figure asked, "How much do you know about the Emperor of Fengdu?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I read in the book that his name should be Yin Changsheng."

"Then just do what you have read in the book. Do you need me to teach you how to blaspheme the emperor and thus provoke his anger?"

"No, I can."

"Remember, you only have one chance. Since you have decided to anger him and make enemies with him, don't hold back and use every possible means.

If you use him as a knife, he will be very angry.

If he is not sharp enough as a knife, the emperor will only be more angry. "

"Understood. One more thing, what does that little devil you mentioned outside look like?"

The figure stretched out his hand and a painting fell down, depicting the image of the dream ghost: holding a lamp with his head lowered, and wearing a wet white robe.

"The little ghost can't make such a big scene. There are people behind it helping it. Those people should be the real you, the ones you want to deal with."

"I see."

"So what are you waiting for? Go to the dream next door."

Li Zhuiyuan said, "You said that the Yin family member next door in the dream should also be on my side."

"Yes."

"I have to go say hello to him first."

"Do you still need to ask for his consent?"

"Just going to say hello. If he's my guy, he'll definitely agree."

"So, you're taking care of his emotions?"

When Li Zhuiyuan heard this, a look of pain appeared on his face.

The figure lowered his head and carefully observed the boy's expression. He smiled and said:
"Hahahahaha, kid, you're better than me. When I was your age, I wasn't even terminally ill, but you've already started healing."

"Maybe it's because I have a good mother."

"It really could be that early onset means early treatment."

"Have you recovered from your illness?"

"I'm missing this part of my memory."

"I don't quite believe it."

"Sometimes, knowing the answer in advance can make it harder to move on. I can only tell you that you are much better than I was in the past. At that time, I didn't care about the so-called...partners at all.

It's a pity that you can't take the memories here with you, otherwise I would really like to ask you to help me say sorry to the guy who taught you the law."

"It's okay. You said that you and I can both act. I think I should lie to him."

"That's right. That boy is stupid. I've teased him before. He's so dumb. It's not surprising that he gets tricked into guarding the door someday."

"I'm going."

"Go ahead. I can't leave this dream. I'm waiting for you to perform. I want to see... the emperor's wrath!"

"The tiger returns to his place, and the rabbit leads the way!"

……

On the bridge, the dream ghost's figure disappeared for a while and then reappeared.

It just went outside again, and the group of people urged it again, and it just perfunctorily responded again.

"Why are you urging me? Why are you urging me? There are three beings here, who dares to urge them? You are really just talking without any reason... huh?"

As the dream ghost was cursing, he suddenly discovered that the dream he controlled had undergone new changes. The two independent dreams actually had some kind of connection at this moment.

This made it very confused, but soon, the original dream of the woman began to reappear.

Meng Gui immediately turned his head to look at the two sides of the bridge. The turtle on one side was still tumbling on the lake, while the evil ghost on the other side actually began to retreat.

Although I have made preparations to avoid death and divert the disaster to someone else, it would be great if the situation could return to normal.

Meng Gui's body immediately began to shake, which was a great joy of seeing hope after despair.

It had a guess in its mind that these three terrifying beings were probably unwilling to crush it to death, so wouldn't that mean they would treat it like a fart and let it go?

……

Yin Meng stood at the door of the coffin shop with a numb expression.

She saw a mother and son walking down the street in front of her holding an umbrella. The little girl was about to point her finger at her, but was blocked by another black umbrella. Under the umbrella, there was a boy standing.

The boy walked towards the coffin shop while looking around.

Yin Meng didn't know him, but when he approached her, she felt an inexplicable sense of dependence in her heart.

It seemed that as long as he was here, everything I had would have a support and I wouldn't be confused anymore.

She didn't even think about who the person in front of her was or why he made her feel this way, because after seeing him, she didn't want to think anymore.

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the coffin shop, folded his umbrella and shook it.

"What's your name?"

"Yin Meng."

"You're on my side."

"Oh."

"Will you listen to me?"

"listen."

"Then I have to do something."

"it is good."

"These things will embarrass you."

"It's ok."

"You agree?"

"agree."

Li Zhuiyuan was a little surprised because everything was going too smoothly.

His first reaction was, will all his future partners be so obedient?

But soon, he interpreted the root cause from the numbness and fatigue deep in the girl's eyes.

She was almost tortured to the point of withering, and at this moment, she was the most helpless.

If I have a relationship with her in the future, and we are one of them, then this mysterious sense of familiarity will make her instinctively regard me as a life-saving straw.

The umbrella that had just been folded was opened again.

"Then I'll go to work."

"it is good."

The boy opened his umbrella again and walked into the rain curtain.

Yin Meng mustered up her courage and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"So what do I need to do?"

"Just obey."

"Okay, I'll be good and obedient." After a pause, the girl shouted again, "Please don't leave me."

After hearing this, Li Zhuiyuan stopped and turned back to look at her again.

He still didn't know what would happen to his future, but the girl's tone made him a little confused.

Li Zhuiyuan was not clear about what his future position in the team would be, nor did he know that Yin Meng, like Zhuangzhuang, had once been anxious about his role and position in the team.

Under the premise of blind men touching an elephant, misunderstandings are always likely to arise.

However, Li Zhuiyuan remembered that the figure said that he was not actually in his seventies or eighties, but was still very young, only a little older than he is now.

So, I am still a child now. Since I am a child, it definitely has nothing to do with the so-called "love".

Moreover, it is impossible that all members of his team are children, so the real age of the girl in front of him should at least be an adult, so there is a difference in age.

Li Zhuiyuan tried to stretch out his hand and point downwards.

The plaque of the coffin shop fell down, and Yin Meng was standing underneath it.

Yin Meng heard the noise, raised her head, and saw the plaque floating above her head.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his finger and the plaque returned to its original position.

A smile appeared on Yin Meng's face: "You are awesome!"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

Just now when she was about to be hit, she did feel a little upset, but not much.

It wasn't like when she was riding in the bumper car with Li Lan, the girl in red Hanfu almost lost control and went crazy when she was about to be hit.

Although they looked like girls of the same age, in her heart, there was no comparison between her and him.

So, how did I get to know that girl in Hanfu?

Really curious.

It can't be because she's good-looking, right?

……

"Ha, ha ha ha ha ha!"

In the playground, although he could not leave this dream, the figure with his hand on the boy's head could still see the scenes in the dream on the other side.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand that at this time, this brat still has the leisure time to deliberately figure out which girl is more important in his heart.

But he could understand.

Because he and this boy are of the same kind.

People like them would be extremely surprised by any special emotions that appeared in their hearts, and then they would be extremely curious. However, there was one thing that the figure could not understand:
"Can such heartless people like us also have someone we like?"

The concept of sympathy was most clearly explained at this moment.

Because this figure, at such a critical moment, actually moved the hand that had been on the boy's head and came to the outside of the bumper car field.

He wants to take a look.

After all, no matter how serious the matter is, it is not as important as the fun in their hearts.

In the amusement park, a girl in red sat on a bench, motionless.

After the protagonist of the dream left, things naturally fell into stagnation.

Of course, even if the protagonist didn't leave, there would be few living people in this amusement park.

The figure put his hands on the railing outside the bumper car area, observing the girl carefully.

"Don't mention it, she is indeed good-looking. You little brat, you know how to save up some good food for yourself at such a young age."

But looking good is definitely not the first factor.

The figure knew too well what kind of person he and the boy were.

He looked at the girl's face and began to calculate.

"Come, let me take a look at your face and destiny first."

As he was counting, the figure paused and said in surprise:

"Hey, so nice, so fierce?"

This girl's fate is extremely precious, but also extremely bumpy.

The figure had experienced an era of turbulence and division. He had only seen such a fate in princesses of a fallen country.

"Ugh."

The figure walked back to its original position and came in front of the boy again. The boy was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. The patterns of the formation were faintly visible around him.

"It's a pity that I'm already dead, otherwise I could really help you.

Tsk,
Forget it, it’s meaningless. If I weren’t dead, you would be the first person to kill me.

You don't like me to meddle in your business, right?

I said before that because I had been here, your future would be filled with more trouble, but actually, you didn't blame me.

Even if you don't have complete memories, deep down in your character, you probably don't want to retrace the path I took.

If there is no variety, you will get bored.”

The figure raised his hand again and placed it on the boy's head.

"Hey, little brat, you're really good at having fun."

……

Li Zhuiyuan was walking down the street holding an umbrella, pinching his left hand to respond to the formation:

"The Rabbit returns to its place, and the Dragon appears!"

The boy disappeared on the spot.

The dream ghost appeared on Ghost Street.

Behind him, there was a group of blurry shadows, who seemed to be wearing robes and did not reveal their true appearance.

These are the images that Li Zhuiyuan created himself.

He had just seen the dream ghost in the painting, and the people behind him were portrayed by Li Zhuiyuan using blurry means.

Coincidentally, these images actually collide with those people in real life.

This was not purely based on luck, but the boy simply felt that this kind of guy who likes to hide his head and show his tail when doing things should be presented in this way.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but sigh: It seems that I will have to come into contact with that group of people who are not presentable in the future.

With every step Meng Gui took, passers-by and shop owners along the way all came out.

They first destroyed everything related to Fengdu culture, and then put up various religious tablets.

Influenced by the nature of Li Lan's work, Li Zhuiyuan has a good understanding of ancient culture. He is not really interested in it, but is simply bored, so he took a look and memorized it.

Although there are only a few well-known major religions in modern times, there are countless "immoral temples" of various kinds among the people, and there are even more than one in each village. If we look at ancient and modern times, there are really many different kinds, like a swarm of carp crossing the river.

Most of them have long been lost in the sea of ​​history.

Some of them simply did not have enough influence and were not recognized by the ancient imperial court. Some of them were truly considered "immoral temples". If they were put in today's world, they would be a real violation of public order and morality and would be simply disgusting to watch.

The boy specially copied these.

Fengdu is the Taoist temple of you, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, and the place where you, Yin Changsheng, became an immortal. Everything here is closely related to you, and the people here have been passing down your story from generation to generation.

Then I will perform a very disrespectful act for you in this dream.

Lead these "unlucky scum" in a large group to attack you.

If it were purely fictional, it wouldn't really be a big deal, but here, every single one of them is "real".

Soon, the team grew larger and larger, and there were more and more "immoral temple" images.

Meng Gui led the team to the door of the coffin shop.

It raised its hand, and the crowd behind it stopped.

Yin Meng stood at the door, watching this incredible scene, blinking continuously.

As a native of Fengdu, the scene before her made her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

But she knew that all this was the boy's doing, and she would not stop it.

Meng Gui stretched out his hand and pointed towards the coffin shop. A group of gray-robed men closest to him entered the coffin shop and carried out the coffin containing Yin Meng's grandfather.

Yin Meng then realized: Oh, my grandpa is dead.

But the current scene was so bizarre that it seriously destroyed the sense of immersion in the dream, so that Yin Meng couldn't squeeze out much sadness despite trying hard.

Meng Gui placed the lamp in his hand on Yin Meng's head.

Then he motioned Yin Meng to come over.

Yin Meng was very obedient. She carried the lamp and walked in front of Meng Gui, becoming the first row of the crowd.

Meng Gui took out a whip from his body, swung the whip, and wrapped the front end around Yin Meng's neck, making her lead the way like a prisoner being pulled.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, because what he wanted to do was to completely anger the emperor, so it was impossible for him to be affectionate and save face at the same time.

Yin Meng herself didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. In her opinion, all of this was a pre-arranged act. Her attention was instead on the whip around her neck.

She felt that it looked familiar and kind.

Meng Gui is controlled by Li Zhuiyuan, so this whip will be vaguely affected by the two people's "future" memories.

To put it bluntly, everything in the dream is a projection from reality.

The huge team started moving forward again.

In other words, the real dream ghost is now unable to control the dream and has been isolated. If it were here and saw its own image doing this, causing such a big fuss in Fengdu and treating the descendants of the Yin family in this way, it would probably be scared to death on the spot.

As they walked, the crowd arrived at the shallows.

Yin Meng continued to hold the lamp above her head while gently stroking the whip on her neck. She liked it very much and she really wanted to have one of her own in the future.

The coffin was lowered and pushed into the water, where it began to float.

Here, Li Zhuiyuan did not make any changes, so the original plot in the dream will continue.

The coffin gradually drifted towards the center of the river. When it reached the deepest part, four ghost figures suddenly appeared, lifted up the coffin, and then quickly, the coffin disappeared.

There was silence.

Meng Gui walked to Yin Meng's side, stretched out his hand and put it on Yin Meng's shoulder.

The boy's voice also appeared in Yin Meng's ears:

"Next, it's the real disrespect."

"Ah."

Yin Meng responded softly without any further reaction. She was very calm about it.

The figure said that the emperor did not care about his own bloodline. He had no joy, no love, and no hate. He just completely... didn't care.

When you exist for a very long time, it is really hard to understand the significance of your descendants to you. You watch them reproduce from generation to generation, just like watching your pet cat, which keeps giving birth to litters generation after generation, and keeps interbreeding in the middle... After many generations, they become so mixed that you find them incomprehensible.

The emperor's feeling towards his descendants is even worse than that towards cats.

Because the emperor has already arrived, or rather, his gaze has actually fallen here.

Otherwise, there would not have been a confrontation with the other two families, allowing this dream to escape the control of the dream ghost.

But despite the commotion that had already taken place, including the treatment of Yin Meng in such a way... the Emperor still had no reaction.

Not only was he not angry, he was too lazy to even look up. In his opinion, this was still not enough to support him to just wave his hand and destroy this place.

Even though his own offspring had been "humiliated", he still felt that taking action against this dream ghost would not only lose his face, but also dirty his hands with the river water.

He might even be dissatisfied as to why his descendants have not died out yet, causing him to be implicated in this inexplicable way.

Yin Meng admitted that she was the descendant of Yin Changsheng, but her feelings towards Yin Changsheng were extremely complicated, because it was impossible to delve into the details.

When ordinary people encounter disasters or hardships, they will never blame their ancestors, but Yin Meng's case is a little special because her ancestor is still alive.

When her father was murdered and drowned by her mother and her lover, when her grandfather had been lying in the coffin for so many years due to a serious illness, when she was alone and helpless and suffered from the cold shoulder... her ancestor was actually watching right beside her.

She doesn't live at the ends of the earth, she lives in Fengdu, in Ghost Street, which is said to be the closest place to the Emperor of Fengdu.

What can really make the emperor raise his eyes is actually a place, and this is also the reason why the emperor was really drawn here.

That is, Yin Meng had witnessed the scene where Li Zhuiyuan used the Yin family's secret technique to open the road to the underworld and send his grandfather's body in.

This memory has always remained in Yin Meng's mind, and was triggered and presented in his dream under the push of the river water.

And this is the emperor's Achilles' heel.

He doesn't care whether the descendants outside die or not, as long as they don't come to bother him.

But after seeing the environment here, Li Zhuiyuan thought of something in his heart.

He was the one who opened the door here before, and now, he is here again.

Meng Gui's hands began to dance, and wisps of black air lingered around his fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, the river surface in front began to extend and overlap.

The "road" that was previously used to send the coffin in was opened again.

The dream ghost raised his arms, and the next moment, firecrackers blasted, and everyone cheered and jumped for joy. All the monsters and demons along the way, all kinds of lewd images that were not worthy of being on the stage...

Line up in an orderly manner and hit the road!

Go ahead, come on, get before the emperor and dance in his face!

As the "culprit" and the "mastermind", Li Zhuiyuan at this moment deeply understood what the "figure" said: after this incident, the hatred became greater.

If I were the emperor, I would probably want to strangle myself to death right away.

Fortunately, the figure said that the emperor could not leave here.

As for the descendants of the great emperor, "Meng Gui" turned her head and looked at Yin Meng who was standing beside her, and took off the lamp on her head and the whip on her neck.

Yin Meng reached out and grabbed the whip, and "Meng Gui" let go.

Yin Meng played with the whip as if she was holding a precious gift.

"Did we succeed?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "There is no reaction at the moment, so it must be successful."

Yin Meng asked: "Why do we do this?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't know, but we should have a reason to do this. Maybe if we don't do this, we will die. Even if we don't die, we will have endless troubles."

Yin Meng: "What about now?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Our troubles are about to get serious."

The sky is clouded over.

The surface of the river gradually boiled.

At some point, dark figures wearing solemn masks began to appear in the center of the river, on the riverbank, and on the woods and hillsides farther away.

They appear silently, but when you notice them, a terrible feeling of oppression immediately sweeps over you.

The dark clouds above began to fall, and the river surface below began to sink.

This is literally...the sky is falling.

A huge black-gold coffin slowly emerged, bringing with it a terrifying sense of simplicity and majesty.

All around, masked ghosts filled the mountains and plains, all knelt on one knee and began to chant.

This dream was out of Li Zhuiyuan's control at this moment, but he could still hear some ghostly voices.

They are not singing, this sound... is cursing.

The emperor was really angry.

When the gates of hell open, anyone who insults the emperor will face the death penalty of evil spirits no matter where you hide!

……

In a small shop in the small town, an old man was calculating with an abacus, but as he was calculating, the abacus suddenly cracked and the beads shattered to the ground.

In a secret room, a witch was asking a person's ancestors to possess her body. In front of her sat a guest who was looking forward to it. Suddenly, the witch had a cramp and began foaming at the mouth, shouting, "You deserve to die, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

A group of people were walking in a mountain forest filled with miasma, searching for an ancient tomb. The compass in the leader's hand was spinning wildly at this moment.

At the door of the old house, an old lady was sewing shoe soles. The needle pierced her finger, and blood flowed out, staining the white soles red.

By the pond, an old man was fishing with a straight hook in the sun. However, as he was fishing, all the koi in the pond floated to the surface and turned upside down.

There was a family that was good at fortune-telling. In order to keep the family alive, they lived in different places with different surnames. Only when the main family opened the sealed letter would they be summoned, and each small family would send someone to do things for the "family".

For many generations, they have used this method to make profits for the master family time and time again, and the master family would then replenish the small families. As a result, they have avoided disasters one after another and continued to accumulate strength in the dark underwater.

They believe that the era belonging to their family is about to come.

But today, at this moment, all the small families, those who are proficient in deducing the hexagrams, can see with their naked eyes without even using any magic tools - a great disaster is coming!
because,

The underworld is nowhere to be found, yet it is everywhere.

……

By the pond where the dream ghost's body was floating, the gray-robed men who were helping it to calculate all exclaimed at this moment.

Originally their calculations were all going smoothly, but suddenly, a terrible warning arose from the bottom of their hearts, and the direction of the calculations in their hands all turned towards themselves.

They hurriedly stopped their actions, but each of them stumbled and suffered a certain degree of backlash from their own calculations.

It's a pity that each of them covered their true faces. If they could be honest with each other, they would probably be able to see the "dark forehead" on each other's face, because it is so obvious that even people with only the most basic knowledge of physiognomy can see it clearly.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"What changes happened in the dream?"

"Why are all the consequences attributed to us?"

In the house near the pond where Birch's body and soul are sealed, Birch, who is trapped with chains, makes a hideous laugh when he turns into a human, and makes a cry when he turns into a bird.

What remains unchanged is that there is always a deep sense of pleasure in its eyes.

……

on the bridge.

The dream ghost opened his eyes wide in fear. Although the dream in which the woman was present had long been out of his control, it at least still looked like a dream.

But now, this dream has turned into a huge and terrifying darkness.

Even the creator of this dream couldn't imagine what kind of horrific tsunami would be triggered if this dream were to be shattered, and how many people would be affected!
At the same time, on the other side of the bridge, the turtles that were originally densely packed on the lake began to gradually retreat.

The "three companies" were originally unwilling to take action, but since one of them couldn't help but take action, that couldn't be better.

However, even in the eyes of the turtle, taking action without any hesitation and making such a fuss... isn't it a bit too much?

……

At this moment, the figure who was the mastermind behind all this was clapping happily.

Li Zhuiyuan, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of him with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes at this moment.

The boy said, "Although I don't know what I originally thought, I feel that this has exceeded the effect of my original plan."

Figure: "Don't feel it, it must be like this, because your original plan does not include my existence.

Your plan was like this before I came, and it is still like this after I came, so my coming here is in vain, isn't it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Can you tell me the difference? I can't wait to know."

Figure: “The difference is that you originally only wanted to chop off a hand, but now you really have the chance to chop the whole person to death.

This even exceeded my expectations of the human pig, because I didn't expect that you could make that person so angry. Promise me that you will not approach Fengdu in the future."

"But I can't remember these things after I wake up from the dream. I will forget them."

"This is indeed a problem."

After a brief silence, both of them smiled again.

Let the future worry about its own affairs; what is important is to enjoy the joy of the present moment.

Figure: "You kid, you really look like me, not only do we have the same disease, but also similar styles of behavior.

I believe that when you read the books I left behind, and search through history books and various records, you will not find any trace of me. "

"why?"

"This is also what the Heavenly Dao hates most about me, because all those guys who had grudges against me were destroyed by the righteous path."

As he spoke, the figure reached out and patted the boy's shoulder:

"Alright, the great emperor's rage has almost accumulated. You quickly control the formation and let him release his rage."

"Ah."

Li Zhuiyuan made hand seals and activated the surrounding formations:

"The dragon returns to its place, and the snake brings good luck!"

The black dream was opened, and endless ghostly resentment poured out.

The dream ghost uttered a cry of surprise, and its real body in the pond immediately opened its eyes, and forcibly pulled all the gray-robed people around it into its dream.

"You guys are responsible for this, you should go to hell together!"

In Fengdu, the originally clear sky suddenly became extremely gloomy.

A sound that ordinary people cannot hear rang out from the depths of Fengdu and rippled across the sky.

"All ghosts listen to the announcement and receive the order of the law."
