Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 186

Li Zhuiyuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, tore it in half, took out half of it, folded it up, and used it to stop the nosebleed.

His actual consumption tonight was not large, it could even be said to be very low.

It was not difficult to control the ceramic dolls underground, because Xu Yijin did not have a deep understanding of them, and there were just more ceramic dolls, but they were completely not on the same level as the generals and Gu children that she had controlled in the past.

As for controlling this formation, it may seem incredible to outsiders, but to Li Zhuiyuan it is just a routine operation.

After the battle started, Xu Yijin's attention was completely focused on the battle situation and she didn't notice the changes happening underground at all. In other words, she didn't think that there would be any changes in the formation that had been set up.

These are the only two things Li Zhuiyuan did throughout the whole process.

If I have to pick out one more point, it is nothing more than spending some energy on observing and controlling the battle situation, but these are nothing.

The practical consumption is not high, but the total consumption is very large because most of the consumption is wasted on preheating.

It's like a tractor. After it starts, it just stays there and roars, but it doesn't actually go very far.

This is the drawback of numerical overflow.

All the cards in your hand, including your own, are played out at the first opportunity. As long as you win, there will inevitably be extravagance and waste.

But facing an opponent like Xu Yijin, whose ultimate goal is to kill her, it is impossible to hold back.

Sometimes, if you try to be small, you will suffer big losses.

The four bodies trapped by Tan Wenbin all collapsed after Xu Yijin's death.

"call……"

Tan Wenbin stood up, crossed his arms, and blocked the way for two children who were singing nursery rhymes enthusiastically.

The two children were very obedient. After Tan Wenbin took his hand back, they covered their mouths, looked at each other, and stopped making any sound.

They also knew how much trouble they had caused their godfather by overeating in the past, including this time, although they just came out to play for a while, their godfather fell into a coma again not long after.

Tan Wenbin is also aware of this, so he has to take advantage of the little time he still has to practice ghost control and try to help Brother Xiaoyuan do more work and finish it up.

The first thing to do is...

"Snapped!"

An opened can of Jianlibao was handed to Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan took it and walked forward while drinking.

Runsheng knelt there on one knee, leaning on the Yellow River shovel.

Runsheng was not satisfied with his performance. Fully open valve was his best skill, but it did not achieve the effect he wanted.

In his imagination, he should have the opportunity to kill Xu Yijin with one move, but unfortunately, Xu Yijin did not cooperate with him.

Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng on the shoulder and said, "Brother Runsheng, you have done a great job."

When the fight started, Li Zhuiyuan did feel regretful, thinking that it would be better if Runsheng could know some magic, but this regret was limited to that time.

The fact is, the reason why Runsheng was able to develop his body to this level step by step was not because of his "devotion", but because of his strict and deformed exclusivity, which destined him to take this path. It was extremely difficult for him to get out of it.

Without Runsheng's reckless charge in the frontal battle, forcing Xu Yijin to not dare to face it directly and only dodge, there would be no subsequent compression of the battlefield and ultimate killing of him.

That night, Xu Yijin easily killed the four people on the second floor, proving that she had many means to fight against the enemies. However, these means were completely useless in the face of Runsheng's momentum of using force to defeat clever tactics.

Fighting is not a competition. The latter is a stop-gap exercise, and everyone has the opportunity to display all the tricks they have learned in turn. The former... is aimed directly at your life.

Xiaoyuan comforted himself and Runsheng smiled.

Although he still felt very guilty and was still dissatisfied with himself, he knew that he could not let Xiaoyuan continue to comfort him. Every word of comfort Xiaoyuan said was said while suppressing the pain in his heart.

Tan Wenbin walked up to Runsheng and asked him, "Can you still walk?"

Runsheng shook his head.

He could have rushed a few more times, but now that he had stopped, his body had become cold and he was almost paralyzed and losing consciousness.

"Then let go of the shovel and lie down for a while."

Tan Wenbin took the Yellow River shovel from Runsheng's hand. Runsheng, who lost his support, fell backwards to the ground, just in time to see the stars in the night sky.

For the first time, he felt that the starry sky in Lijiang was indeed different from that in Nantong. The stars here were closer and brighter.

Tan Wenbin took away the Yellow River shovels from all his companions, and then instructed his two godsons to operate the shovels and start digging the hole.

Fortunately, Brother Fat Jin's B&B is in the countryside, with few houses nearby and almost no people around at night. Otherwise, people would have seen several shovels floating in the air digging the ground, which would have been a spooky sight.

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to the White Crane Boy.

Yes, He is still the White Crane Boy.

The work was done, but the boy hadn't left yet.

He was in great pain. No one would feel good if so many needles were inserted into their body.

But the boy was stubborn and refused to leave.

Especially after seeing the boy clean up his nosebleed and start walking towards here, and patting Runsheng's shoulder to comfort him, the boy made up his mind:

No matter how painful it is, you have to hold on until you receive the award and shake hands with your leader!

He is the last among all the statues in the Guanjiangshou Temple, and is the first one that every new medium tries to summon when he starts... The factor of strength is not the main one here.

But at that time, when summoned by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the boy immediately clasped his hands together and returned to the Bodhisattva's seat.

The two generals who were added and subtracted were the ones who came later. As the ghost kings in the human world, they were extremely ferocious. Even when facing the Bodhisattva's decree, they were still unscrupulous and laughed wildly.

Although the final ending is the same, he was "inspired" by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

But in the yamen, he was ranked above everyone else.

He takes care of the small jobs, while the big and lucrative jobs are left to the second general.

Later, as the system of officials and generals grew stronger and more statues of the gods were erected, even though those evil spirits did not have the strength to increase or decrease the two generals, they still deliberately behaved in an unruly manner when receiving the Bodhisattva's edict, and then after entering the yamen, they all lined up in front of themselves.

There are some truths that the boy did not understand before, but now, he just wants to make progress.

Li Zhuiyuan respected the mediums, but he always looked down on these evil spirits. In the eyes of discerning people, the actions of these evil spirits in the past were really hard to be looked down upon.

The boy before also had an arrogant attitude and all kinds of calculations in his mind, but no matter what, the boy's performance in the last two times was indeed impeccable.

My grandfather once said that if a mule works hard, it should be fed good feed and brushed immediately.

My grandfather also said that if you meet a mule that is smart enough to understand human language, you should talk to it more and tell it that when it gets old, you can let it sleep on the bed in the house and have pancakes to eat every day.

Li Zhuiyuan handed the Jianlibao in his hand to the boy and fed him.

The boy started drinking.

Then some liquid overflowed from the talisman needle on the chest, as if a shower head had been turned on.

The boy immediately stretched out his hand and covered his chest, and the liquid stopped flowing out. He was using the remaining divine power he brought with him this time to nourish the medium's body.

Even the old mediums who are highly respected and venerable can hardly enjoy such treatment. The ghost spirits will respect them, but they prefer to possess the bodies of middle-aged people.

“Before in Nantong, I actually established a dojo. When I return this time, I will complete the formality of the Nantong corpse recovery.

By then, everyone will have a portrait, and they can hang you in it."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Li Zhuiyuan heard the sound coming from the other party's chest, which was the sound of the boy's heart beating.

Having no emotions does not mean that you don't understand the ways of the world. Sometimes, it is because it is too easy to see what the other person is thinking at a glance that it becomes difficult to develop an emotional bond with them.

Li Zhuiyuan has always understood what the White Crane Boy wants.

Otherwise, every time he controlled and warned the boy, he would not have hit the boy's target accurately.

The vertical pupil disappears.

The boy left with great satisfaction, and when he left, he felt as if he was floating in the air.

It’s not just because the divine power brought by this descent has been almost exhausted.

Lin Shuyou is back.

"Pfft!"

Ah You knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands.

Over there, Tan Wenbin, who had dug the pit, had already carried Runsheng back to the B&B.

At this moment, Tan Wenbin took the opportunity to run out and came to Lin Shuyou.

"Ah Friend?"

"Brother Bin..."

"Come, I'll carry you to sleep."

Tan Wenbin first pulled out the needle from Ayou's body, and then carried him on his back.

Lin Shuyou felt Brother Bin’s cold and prickly back.

Fortunately, it wasn't long and he was quickly arranged to a bed, otherwise his chest would have been frostbitten.

"Go to sleep and have a good rest."

"Okay, Brother Bin."

Tan Wenbin went out and continued to carry people on his back.

Lin Shuyou lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

What should I do? How should I tell this to my master and grandfather when I go home for the next New Year?
It sounds like Brother Xiaoyuan wants to dig the boy out, and the boy agrees very much.

The strangest thing is... Lin Shuyou feels that he himself agrees with it.

……

Yin Meng's condition is better, but not much better.

Her skin color changed again.

At the beginning, Aunt Liu used medicinal baths to beautify her face, making her very white.

Now, this whiteness actually makes it easier for her to change color.

Li Zhuiyuan never led Yin Meng's research on poison techniques, and was happy to watch her express herself freely.

But this method of poisoning both the enemy and yourself every time is really a headache.

I have to help her find a better way to administer the poison.

But Yin Meng has only mastered the basic techniques of walking in the dark. It is quite difficult and impractical to ask her to learn some techniques. When a real fight breaks out, it is often not as good as for her to just rush forward holding a jar of poison.

Just at this time, Tan Wenbin came back to carry people.

Li Zhuiyuan "saw" the two children on Tan Wenbin's shoulders, who were still covering their mouths and looking around with their big round eyes.

When the two children noticed Li Zhuiyuan's gaze, they immediately closed their eyes.

Obviously, he was very afraid of this older brother.

Li Zhuiyuan felt that he had found a way.

Tan Wenbin has these two grown-up resentful babies, which can complement Yin Meng.

However, the specific operations here still require me to re-plan and design, and even improve some techniques in a targeted manner.

Otherwise, if they join forces in a hurry, I'm afraid that Tan Wenbin's two godsons will be the first to be poisoned by Yin Meng.

Yin Meng was holding two poison jars in his hands. One of them contained a highly volatile toxin that could be used to clean up the toxin residues at the scene, and the other contained a relatively low-level corrosive toxin that could be used to destroy the body.

Tan Wenbin first carried Yin Meng back to the B&B, then took out a can of poison and began to clean up the remaining toxins around. This is farmland, and people will come to cultivate it and grow food to eat in the future. If it is not handled properly, big problems will arise in the future, and then he and others will have to bear the consequences.

Tan Wenbin had already dug the pit and put the four bodies in. However, he was not in a hurry to use another can of toxin to destroy the bodies, after all, Xu Yijin's body had not been put in yet.

And now, Brother Xiaoyuan was squatting beside Xu Yijin's body.

It's obvious that Brother Xiaoyuan wants to touch it.

Li Zhuiyuan's hand lingered on Xu Yijin's body.

He is very rich and owns all the inheritance in the ancestral homes of the Qin and Liu families.

But he was very poor, and those things nominally belonged to him, but he could not use them now.

The things we have on hand that we can use now can only be found by picking them up or by feeling for them.

The girl didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did, just like when Xu Yijin killed the four people on the second floor last night, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Those who kill will always be killed.

She wanted to use her team as a shield, that is, as a scapegoat, to die for her.

She did nothing wrong, she just picked the wrong target.

Li Zhuiyuan took out a soft sword made of ceramic from Xu Yijin, but unfortunately this sword was only suitable for Xu Yijin himself, and it was inconvenient for others to use it to cut fruit.

During the previous battle, Xu Yijin did not draw out the sword. She knew that it was unrealistic to use this sword to fight against Run Sheng who was in full swing.

A small bag containing some pills. I can’t tell the ingredients for now, so I’ll put it away for now.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous things that are not of high value.

Li Zhuiyuan was poor, but he had broad vision and did not accept everything.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't feel that disappointed about this. Normal people walking around the world rarely carry all the treasures on their bodies. In a life-and-death fight, victory or defeat often takes a split second, so there is no time for you to take out all the treasures one by one.

She is not Zhao Yi.

Thinking of Zhao Yi, Li Zhuiyuan pursed his lips subconsciously. The "young master" image he showed in front of Xu Yijin was imitated from Zhao Yi.

Art really comes from life and is indeed useful.

Li Zhuiyuan's eyes fell on the broken painting of a lady next to him. This was indeed a good thing, something that absorbed and nourished the soul. Its greatest value was the black shadow stored inside.

If I could get it intact, I could find a way to control it or even refine it again.

But now, it has been destroyed by the White Crane Boy. At that time, the boy had no other choice but to be busy killing people.

However, there is one thing Li Zhuiyuan is very sure of.

No matter what kind of martial arts you practice, it is impossible to grow ceramics from your body unlimitedly. There must be some special magic tool to stimulate it.

But I searched her body and found nothing.

Then it should be... inside the body.

Li Zhuiyuan placed his fingers on Xu Yijin's brow, tapping continuously and feeling it carefully.

Soon, he caught a glimpse of a special response.

Li Zhuiyuan took out the copper coin sword with his other hand and slapped it on Xu Yijin's body.

The copper coin sword is the natural nemesis of all evil spirits. When it was slapped, the copper rust on it trembled, and a piece of red ceramic flew out of Xu Yijin's mouth.

Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The moment he got it in his hand, it was like a living thing and it actually actively drilled into the flesh of his palm.

The young man slapped his palm with the copper coin sword to pick it out. In just a moment, the palm of his right hand was covered in blood.

Li Zhuiyuan shook off his bleeding hand nonchalantly. Tan Wenbin had just returned from neutralizing the surrounding toxins when he saw this scene. He immediately took out gauze to bandage Xiaoyuan's wound.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, this is..."

"If it is integrated into the body, it can transform one's own flesh and blood into a material similar to ceramics."

"So evil?"

"Is there something weird about your ghost-controlling technique?"

"hey-hey."

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly realized something. He used to think that asking Tan Wenbin to practice the art of controlling ghosts was a bit too radical. Although Tan Wenbin himself was willing, every time this technique was used it would greatly shorten his lifespan.

But in fact, for most people who travel by river, this is the most normal state.

Sacrifice your own vitality, flesh and blood, and lifespan to obtain the most extreme power in the most extreme way to deal with each wave, and then gain counter-compensation from the merits after the end of each wave.

Not everyone can be like Zhao Yi, who can have everything he needs allocated to him by his family before lighting the lamp and heading for the river.

People like Xu Yijin and Xiong Shan, or they are the most common, fight desperately in every wave, and use all kinds of weird overdraft methods on themselves without hesitation as long as the effect is good.

From Xu Yijin's perspective, Li Zhuiyuan could truly understand Xu Yijin's contempt for the "young master" team.

It’s a pity that this is the world of martial arts. Not only outstanding martial artists will die, but many people from the Dragon King’s family will also die.

There are many, if not most, Dragon Kings worshipped on the altars at home whose hands are stained with the blood of their enemies’ children when they cross the river.

It was a great fortune for Uncle Qin to come back alive after his failed attempt to cross the river, and there were too few people in his family at that time, so they could not afford the loss of anyone.

In the past, people who came from humble backgrounds like Xiong Shan could still withdraw, but those from the Dragon King's family would rather die than light a lamp and admit defeat.

Li Zhuiyuan suppressed the piece of red porcelain with the copper coin sword. He had to study this thing carefully to see if he could make some ceramic puppets to play with.

Since he was young and couldn't practice martial arts, this kind of puppet object could indeed make up for his biggest shortcoming, but it still depended on the specific effect. Moreover, in a real fight, moves that were not strong enough would not be necessary at all, and they were completely inferior to Runsheng's powerful shovel.

Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand, and a ceramic doll emerged from the ground.

Tan Wenbin widened his eyes, thinking that it was Xu Yijin's backup plan, but when he saw Brother Xiaoyuan take it directly into his hand, he realized that he was the one who was stressed out.

When Li Zhuiyuan was controlling the group of ceramic dolls underground, he noticed it because there was something inside it.

Xu Yijin would never leave a precious token like the broken jade in the room during a fight, but it would be inconvenient to carry it with her. Once the corpse qi in it erupted due to the battle, it would only pose a great threat to herself.

So, she chose to put it underground first.

Li Zhuiyuan tapped the ceramic doll's head twice with his fingers, and the doll opened its mouth, revealing the black jade fragments inside.

The inside of the ceramic was already dark black, which meant that Xu Yijin's suppression of it had reached its limit, which was why she was eager to use her team as a shield.

She really doesn't have much time left, and her "young master" team is right in front of her.

Perhaps, in Xu Yijin's view, this is God's "favor" to her.

Li Zhuiyuan said to the empty field:

"Corpse qi, evil spirits, should be killed."

This is the last disclaimer.

After saying this, Li Zhuiyuan felt a little weak mentally.

They are all people who claim to uphold the righteous path, but under the guidance of the river, they come to this Shura field where they can fight each other.

Even if you beat Fat Jin to death, he would never have expected that the three groups of guests he brought would kill each other without his knowledge until only one group was left.

These two groups of people did not die at the hands of evil spirits.

In this wave, can they be considered to be truly...destroyed by the righteous path?
"Brother Binbin, let's deal with it."

"okay."

Tan Wenbin picked up Xu Yijin's body and put it into the fifth pit.

The pit was dug very roughly, there was no coffin, not even a straw mat, but the body was placed neatly by Tan Wenbin.

Maybe in Tan Wenbin’s mind, the one who digs the hole to bury people today will become the one being buried tomorrow?
But this kind of thought is not suitable to be spoken out loud because it is unlucky.

After the bodies were placed in the pit, Tan Wenbin poured corrosive toxins on them. Soon, the bodies completely melted away, leaving only a human-shaped trace in the pit.

Next to Xu Yijin, there was a trace of a melted suitcase.

Tan Wenbin is a meticulous person. When he carried his companion back to the room, he went to Xu Yijin's room to clean up.

"Don't mention it, the corpse-dissolving water Meng Meng prepared is really effective."

As Tan Wenbin spoke, he filled the five pits with soil. It was not convenient to erect a monument, so he could only make it slightly higher than the surrounding area, as the last trace in this world.

After doing all this, Tan Wenbin felt that his body was beginning to become seriously weak.

Li Zhuiyuan accompanied him back to the B&B and removed the formation in the front room.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, it's really good to fight next to the B&B. The winner and the loser can both fall asleep."

Tan Wenbin used the last bit of his energy on this witty remark, then went back to his room, lay down, and fell into a coma.

Li Zhuiyuan returned to his room, wrote a check-out notice, which also included a thank-you letter, and placed it on the counter in the front room.

With the urgent farewell of the four people the night before, it was also normal for another person to check out temporarily.

Even if Fat Brother Jin had any doubts, he would suppress them himself. He had to open the business and could not take the initiative to meddle in other people's affairs.

When Xu Yijin knew that she was going to die, she shouted "Give up".

However, at that time, I no longer had the capital to provide her with the conditions to admit defeat.

For example, right now, all four of his companions are unconscious.

Should I keep Xu Yijin and sit face to face with him, staring at each other?

Precisely because Li Zhuiyuan knew formations so well, he knew very well that there was no restriction in this world that was absolutely safe.

Sitting in the room, Li Zhuiyuan took out the ceramic doll and placed it on the table.

In his own way, he added a seal to it.

The young man couldn't help but sigh: "What a messed up underlying seal logic."

Even if you haven't thought about the subsequent layers of sealing, you shouldn't do it so roughly at the beginning.

After passing through the hands of two groups of people, the original seal on this broken jade remains and cannot be removed.

Even with my own ability, I can only seal it for one more day. There is no way to keep it sealed like the one in my hand.

Everything is taken care of.

Li Zhuiyuan lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, I was awakened by the bright sunshine of Lijiang shining through the window.

After taking a shower, Li Zhuiyuan changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the room with a very healthy and positive attitude.

Running a B&B is very tiring, especially for a small family-run business like this. Hiring people is a luxury, and only when the couple and the elderly in the family participate in the labor can profits be guaranteed.

Early in the morning, Fat Jin's parents started cleaning the house, mainly cleaning Xu Yijin's room opposite.

Fat Jin came over and said with a smile, "Check out now, everyone is in a hurry."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It must be something urgent."

Fat Jin nodded: "Yeah, it should be."

As he spoke, Fat Brother Jin wanted to look for Tan Wenbin. He really liked chatting with Tan Wenbin, but this morning, Tan Wenbin did not come out with the young man.

When checking in, Li Zhuiyuan had already agreed with Brother Fat Jin that there was no need to clean the room. Now, with the doors and windows closed and the curtains drawn, the house was quite quiet.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't plan to move. It was inconvenient for him to go anywhere while dragging four unconscious adults by himself. Moreover, when the second piece of broken jade could not be suppressed, he would be discovered even if he hid in a ravine.

It would be better to just lie here. At least there is food and drink, and I can wait for the clues that Fat Brother Jin will bring to me later.

He brought together three groups of people, and in the end only his group was left. So this clue should be his.

Li Zhuiyuan borrowed a small stove from Fat Brother Jin, and each of them brought some medicinal herbs in their hiking bags.

Because the original pharmacist in the team was extremely unreliable, even if you found specific medicinal materials, no one could prepare them.

So everyone only brought tonic medicine in their supplies.

Li Zhuiyuan sat at the door of his room, holding a small fan and decocting medicine.

After decocting the medicine, Li Zhuiyuan took the bowl, went to their room and fed them.

Although they were all unconscious, they still had basic swallowing instincts, so Li Zhuiyuan didn't have to insert gastric tubes in them.

This tonic can be taken as a meal.

After feeding, Li Zhuiyuan helped them wipe their bodies one by one, changed their clothes, turned them over, and rubbed them to promote blood circulation.

Now I have the opportunity to put into practice the health books I read before.

After finishing all this, it was almost dark.

It is indeed not easy for one person to take care of four people.

At night, in the house, Li Zhuiyuan first spent ten minutes adding a new layer of seal to the broken jade in his wooden box, and it took him a full four hours to reseal the broken jade in the ceramic doll.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the exquisite porcelain doll with disdain in his eyes.

This thing is becoming more and more like a bomb that could explode at any time.

But he still had to delay its detonation as much as possible and watch it explode in his arms.

Then hand it over in full view of everyone.

After sealing it, Li Zhuiyuan finally had time to take out the piece of red porcelain and study it.

This thing should be a fragment of something. Unfortunately, the "Evil Book" was left in the corner of the study by me. Otherwise, I could really try to ask what the "Evil Book" is.

But it was indeed very active, extremely sensitive to flesh and blood, and had been away from Xu Yijin's body for a day. When Li Zhuiyuan removed the copper coin that was suppressing it, it actually began to tremble slightly, like a hungry wolf cub.

The most suitable way to study it is to arrange the spell pattern on your arm in advance, and then let it enter your palm to contact and debug it. Once an uncontrollable accident occurs, forcibly drive it away.

But the problem is that I am the only healthy person in my team. If I hurt myself, all members will be laid off.

We can only wait until one or two of our companions wake up before we can carry out adventurous research.

After checking the time, Li Zhuiyuan went to bed.

Tomorrow I only need to decoct and feed medicine, no massage or acupressure is needed. The time saved will allow me to set up a large formation with this homestay as the center.

When surrounded by a pack of wolves, you can't always keep a safe distance from them, and you can't directly expose the weakness of your team. If you want to perform well, you have to spend more time and effort to set the stage.

Li Zhuiyuan is asleep here.

But in the front room, Fat Jin Ge, his girlfriend, and Fat Jin Ge's parents were all full of energy late into the night!

They themselves didn't know why. Normally, after a busy day, they could fall asleep immediately at night, but tonight they couldn't fall asleep at all. They just felt like they had endless energy.

This was because Li Zhuiyuan was decocting medicine in the yard during the day, and they inhaled the smell.

This kind of tonic medicine will naturally have no problem for the seriously injured Run Sheng and others, as they are no longer ordinary people. But for ordinary people, even if they just smell the scent for a long time, the effect of the medicine will be very obvious.

However, there is no harm in doing so, just consider it as a way to nourish your body.

That night, Li Zhuiyuan also sensed an explosion of corpse energy.

The boy sat up from the bed and took out a compass to conduct a survey.

It should be that the third piece of broken jade could not be suppressed and was revealed.

It is very far away from me and moving very fast, so it should be in a fierce competition.

Li Zhuiyuan put down the compass, lay down again and went to sleep.

The next day, after getting up, Li Zhuiyuan went to set up the formation first. He had to ensure both effectiveness and secrecy, but this was very easy for the young man.

Fat Brother Jin's whole family has rosy complexions today. Although they went to bed late last night and got up early this morning, the quality of this short sleep was surprisingly high.

They felt that this was a happy occasion and they were in high spirits because today Fat Brother Jin received an order from a tour group from a government agency.

In the morning, Fat Brother Jin drove out, and at noon, he brought a large group of people and almost filled all the guest rooms.

When Li Zhuiyuan was decocting medicine in the afternoon, he looked around carefully and confirmed that they were all ordinary people.

It seems that Fat Brother Jin is only "responsible" for recruiting three groups of people and no more.

This also means that my decision to continue living here without moving was the right one. The place that was originally the most dangerous place has now become the safest place.

In the evening, Li Zhuiyuan first spent a quarter of an hour to seal his broken jade, and then spent more than six hours to complete the sealing of the ceramic doll.

After finishing, the boy slumped in the chair, sweating all over.

He knew that no matter how high his attainments in formation were, he would not be able to seal it a few more times.

This thing, which is the simplest arithmetic problem, needs to be sealed once a day, and if the sealing time exceeds a day, then there is absolutely no way out.

I looked up and checked the time. It was already very late.

But upstairs, opposite, and in the rooms of the entire homestay, the sounds still continued.

When traveling with government agencies, you can bring your family members along, which is considered an internal benefit of the unit.

They also absorbed the smell of the medicine that Li Zhuiyuan had boiled at the door of the room in the afternoon, so the new and old partners worked extra hard tonight.

Even though some couples have long been estranged in spirit, tonight they burst into the fiery sweetness of their first love.

The next day, everyone was praising the magic of Lijiang, saying it was indeed a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and a good place for nourishing people.

In order to ensure the quality of his sleep at night, Li Zhuiyuan chose to decoct the medicine today when they went out to visit tourist attractions.

Tonight, he spent eight hours sealing the broken jade in the ceramic doll.

He was tired and he didn't want it anymore.

What is even more tiring are the other rooms which performed extremely well last night and are looking forward to tonight even more.

"I overdid it yesterday and I'm too tired today."

"I walked too much during the day visiting tourist spots, and I don't have the energy anymore."

"Go to sleep, sleep soundly."

The property of thermal expansion and contraction applies not only to physical objects, but also to emotions.

The next day when the group went out to visit scenic spots, the tour guide Fat Jin Ge clearly noticed that the atmosphere in the tour group was depressing.

The old couple who were in love yesterday and still loving each other even though they are old, have become disgusted with each other today.

After Li Zhuiyuan fed his companions the medicine, he continued to set up the formation.

The formation was finally set up.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the rooftop and took a short rest while admiring the beautiful scenery around him.

Ahead, there must have been a sun shower, and there is a clear dividing line between cloudy and sunny days.

In another direction, there was a small hole in the thick clouds, through which beams of light shone, forming a circle in the rice field similar to a stage spotlight.

They are all beautiful scenery.

Unfortunately, Li Zhuiyuan had to time his time to appreciate it, because he had to go back to his room later to tinker with today's seal.

The exploding corpse qi still exists, constantly changing its position.

Even though Li Zhuiyuan didn't look closely at all, he was aware of how many bloody and tragic killings had taken place around it in the past few days.

Moreover, two of the three pieces of jade were in his possession.

Therefore, the piece that was lost outside actually became a kind of unique one, which greatly increased the intensity of the competition.

Having multiple goals and having only one goal are completely different concepts.

No one knew when the banquet would start, so no one dared to delay or sit and watch, and could only be forced to take action.

The boy finished eating the flower cake given by Fat Brother Jin and was about to go downstairs when a bird appeared in the distant sky and flew freely.

Li Zhuiyuan recognized that bird.

Back then in Guizhou, it followed me all the way.

That man has a young girl under his command who has a strong affinity for animals and can give them orders.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't expect that he would come too.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to catch up with this wave.

After all, the original wave of the old woman in Guizhou was eaten up by himself, which forced Zhao Yi to rush to take on another wave.

However, it is not surprising that he really came, because Zhao Yi just suffered repeated defeats in front of him, but in the eyes of others, he, Zhao Yi, is still a difficult character to deal with.

The bird was very far away, so it was naturally impossible for it to notice Li Zhuiyuan standing there.

But Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand, intending to call it actively to attract its attention.

Zhao Yi should have those high-quality pills on him. He tried them last time and they had a very good effect on his companions' injuries. In short, they were much better than decocting tonic medicine every day.

Besides, he already had two pieces of broken jade, and he had no intention of pursuing a third piece to complete the three-in-one.

In fact, given the current state of our team, we don't have the ability to pursue the third piece.

The most important thing is that it is okay to fight and compete in the early stage, but the highlight will come after the later stage. Maybe by then, the joint efforts of all three parties will be needed.

If you are too obsessed with eating alone, you will end up eating to death.

The bird in the sky first sensed the change in the Feng Shui pattern of the distant area, and after flying towards this side, its gaze gradually locked onto the young man on the roof of a mud house below.

Li Zhuiyuan stopped trying to figure out the Feng Shui pattern and simply waved to the bird.

The bird seemed to be hesitating, wondering whether to go back to report the news first, and then it kept circling in the air, refusing to come down.

This kind of entanglement seems to be carved from the same mold as Zhao Yi.

Li Zhuiyuan was too lazy to wait, so he stretched out his hand again and fixed his eyes on the bird.

The bird immediately sensed the murderous intent, and then fell rapidly, flying in front of Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan spread out his palm, and it fell into his palm obediently.

The senses of animals are inherently more sensitive than those of ordinary people, especially those that have gained intelligence. To a certain extent, they can be called spiritual creatures.

However, the bird in front of us can only understand a little bit of human nature, but in essence, it is still quite stupid.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and fiddled with the bird's beak a few times.

"Go back and ask Zhao Yi for me. Ask him... if he wants the broken jade."
