Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 191

"Ah."

Yu Miaomiao let out a light laugh, followed by a series of sharp and shrill teeth grinding sounds.

Before lighting the lantern and walking along the river, her mother had taught her to be careful of people with smart brains.

She always listened to her mother and would kill anyone she thought was smarter than her if she got the chance.

In her opinion, as long as she killed all the smart people, she would become smarter and smarter.

After all, it is difficult to improve yourself, but easy to eliminate your opponents.

The boy of the same age as herself in the homestay made her want to kill him, but he refused to move out of the formation, leaving her no chance at all.

The one in front of me has a very good brain.

Yu Miaomiao: "People like you who like to scheme are really disgusting. Why can't you just fight openly?"

Zhao Yi: “…”

Zhao Yi didn't know how to respond for a moment.

No, weren't you the one who used conspiracy and trickery to control the sables, including the bird earlier?
You can't think that you are still clean and upright just because your plan failed and you were plotted against, right?
"Where did you send your broken jade back to?"

Yu Miaomiao turned her head and looked towards the village in the distance. The house of the homestay could only be seen as a small and blurry black dot.

Zhao Yi: “Yeah.”

Yu Miaomiao's eyes turned cold: "Then you can go..."

Zhao Yi immediately shouted: "I have been framed and slandered. I suspect there is a mastermind behind this, using some secret technique to make the corpse qi follow me all the time, causing me to be hunted down by righteous people.

Actually, I am innocent. You see, I don’t have that evil object in my hand. It is a replica!”

It was really not easy for him to make jade carvings while fleeing and to hear the chatter of the mountain girls, who were explicitly or implicitly asking him to abandon his companions.

Yu Miaomiao: "You have been carrying corpse qi for such a long time, and so many people have seen it. Now that you have used secret techniques to hide your aura, do you naively think you can escape punishment? You must know that the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment. Why was this girl confused at one moment and clear at the next?

"Yuan, kill him!"

A Yuan nodded heavily and raised his fist towards Zhao Yi.

With this punch, Zhao Yi, who was already as soft as a boneless person, would probably become literally like floating cotton wool.

Zhao Yi closed his eyes and shouted in his heart:

Mr. Li, you should at least save me, just because I was cowardly and didn't dare to kill you twice!

"boom!"

The wind was so strong that Zhao Yi was blown away. But while he was in the air, he checked his body and found that his arms and legs were just blown away.

A leather whip was tied around Zhao Yi's body, holding him down steadily.

Yin Meng put him at her feet and briefly checked his physical condition, which was extremely bad.

What's even more incredible is that he is still alive.

Through its almost half-open chest, you can even see a broken and blackened heart, still beating hard, and each beat seems to be the last fight.

Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

At the same time as I felt great joy, I also felt a strong sense of regret.

Mr. Li sent someone to rescue me!
Damn it, now I can be 100% sure that the Li guys were either pretending or all of them were seriously injured and unconscious!
Otherwise, there would be no sympathy between him and the man surnamed Li.

In front, Runsheng crossed his arms and blocked A Yuan's punch.

The opponent just wanted to kill an extremely weak person and didn't use his full strength at all, but even this simple and casual punch made Runsheng feel intense pressure.

A smile appeared on Yuan's face, and he was also curious about the guy who took his punch.

He raised his fist again, and this time, he meant it.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from his side, and a sharp trident pierced his neck.

A Yuan changed the punch that was supposed to be thrown at Runsheng to a slap to his side.

"boom!"

After deflecting the trident, A Yuan took the opportunity to kick Run Sheng.

All of this was accomplished in a flash.

Runsheng pressed down with the Yellow River shovel and blocked the opponent's kick.

The trident that had been flung away seemed to reappear in a non-physical form and launched a second attack.

A Yuan pushed the ground with one leg and slid backward quickly, creating some distance between them.

The fight could have continued, it would have been quite interesting, but the young lady did not inform herself and allowed herself to get hurt.

In the area where the two sides had briefly fought before, the fields were sunken and the center of gravity of both sides was very stable. Every fight was also a competition of center of gravity, and the one that was most seriously injured was the earth.

The White Crane Boy's pupils flickered, and he uttered a word:

"Demon!"

Then, the White Crane Boy looked at Yu Miaomiao who was standing not far away.

This girl also has a big problem!
The boy spread out his left hand, and the trident that had been bounced away flew back into his hand again, while his right hand continued to hold a trident condensed by magic.

He spread his legs and lowered his weight to show his seriousness.

Runsheng waved the Yellow River shovel in his hand and held it horizontally in front of him. The bowl of noodles he had just finished before coming out gave him a lot of confidence.

Yes, only after a real fight can you feel each other's strength.

The tall and thin man in front of him seemed to have some extremely terrifying power hidden in his body.

Yu Miaomiao's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her pupils glowed amber in the dark night, like cat's eyes staring at a spot diagonally in front of her.

The darkness in that area twisted and the figure of Tan Wenbin appeared.

He just used the abilities of his two godsons to act sneakily.

Now that he had been seen through, there was no need to hide any longer. After coming out, Tan Wenbin even said hello to Zhao Yi:

"Brother Zhao, fortunately, we are not a step too late."

Zhao Yi also responded to Tan Wenbin with a warm smile.

In fact, Zhao Yi knew very well that this was not a TV drama, so there would not be so many critical moments or situations where people would have to spare lives.

These guys must have arrived a long time ago, but they just hid and didn't come out before.

They probably wanted to use the Yu family to kill his two men, so that when he sat down at the next table, he would be completely alone and it would be easier to manipulate them to cooperate.

However, the girl did not kill her own men first, but wanted to kill him first, which forced them to show up immediately.

Yu Miaomiao asked: "Where is he?"

Tan Wenbin pointed in the direction of the B&B and said with a smile, "Girl, my brother Xiaoyuan asked me to tell you something. The time is almost up."

When Yu Miaomiao heard this, she seemed to remember something and her eyes widened.

Tan Wenbin's eyes also widened: What, you really don't know?

He really couldn't understand. Even if you think you are very strong, you should at least hold the qualifications you deserve in your hands instead of wasting time wandering around here.

Have you really forgotten this?

Tan Wenbin finally understood why his brother Xiaoyuan said several times at home that he could not figure out the logic of her behavior.

Because they really seem to have no logic.

Tan Wenbin continued, "Brother Xiaoyuan said that he has two pieces of broken jade in his hand. If the girl wants them, she must hurry to break the formation. He will wait there.

Of course, before the girl goes to break the formation, she has to deal with us first. We will try our best to buy a little more time for Brother Xiaoyuan."

After saying that, Tan Wenbin began to make hand seals, preparing to use the ghost-control technique. The voices of two children rang out in the darkness, singing the nursery rhymes that Tan Wenbin had taught them.

But this nursery rhyme seems eerie in the current environment.

Fifteen valves on Runsheng's body opened, adding a whistling sound to the night breeze.

The White Crane Boy flipped his hands, and the original trident turned into two talisman needles, with the tips of the needles pressed against his costume, ready to be inserted at any time.

The opponent is very strong, but you don't have to fight hard right from the start. It's okay to fight slowly and then reveal his cards one by one depending on the situation.

But the problem is that they have just recovered from their injuries and are not in their best condition yet; moreover, with the first round about to end and they are about to take their seats, it would be unwise to waste their condition by fighting to the death. God knows what kind of difficulties and obstacles they will face after taking their seats.

But Tan Wenbin had plenty of experience in fighting in school, so he knew that if he wanted to prevent a fight from succeeding, he had to show a desperate attitude from the very beginning!

Yuan slowly straightened up, with a series of crackling sounds coming from his joints. Soon, he, who was already very tall, became even taller.

He was very expectant and excited, and his eyes were always on Runsheng.

Because only this person truly used his own strength, while the others were just using strange and clever tricks.

Yu Miaomiao turned her head and glanced at Yuan: "Squat down!"

A Yuan paused for a moment, thinking that the lady was not going to fight anymore.

He felt very sorry. It was such a pity. It should have been an opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest.

Yu Miaomiao climbed onto A Yuan's back, pinched the flesh on his neck with her fingers and twisted it hard. A Yuan grimaced in pain and then ran in one direction.

That direction is exactly where the first piece of broken jade is now.

The distance is not close, but as long as you run fast enough, it is not far.

Tan Wenbin took out a cigarette box, lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

To be honest, even if we put aside that girl, the tall and thin man alone has given me far more pressure than Xu Yijin did that night.

Xu Yijin has considerable strength and many methods of her own, but many of her methods have no room to be used due to the strong advance of Runsheng and Ayou.

But this guy is different. Tan Wenbin doubts whether he has the ability to go head-to-head with Runsheng who is fully prepared.

Fortunately, although the girl had some problems with her brain, she could at least figure out simple time calculation problems.

Since time did not allow it, she would certainly not choose a difficult formation. After all, with her strength and the strength of the person under her, she would have a greater chance of success if she forcefully charged into the battle for the first piece of broken jade.

"Take the injured away and let's go back."

Tan Wenbin carried Zhao Yi on his back personally.

"Hiss..." Zhao Yi took a breath of cold air, "Change someone to carry me, change someone..."

At that moment just now, Zhao Yi almost suffered a cardiac arrest from the cold.

Tan Wenbin: "Master Zhao's body is so delicate?"

Zhao Yi glanced at Binbin unhappily and asked, "Are you not going to date someone in the future?"

"I have someone."

"You are a dishonest boy, you are a marriage fraud."

"After two more days of rest, my body will no longer be cold."

This is the residual sequelae of the last use of the ghost-controlling technique, plus the set of preparatory movements just performed.

Zhao Yi: "After this is over, give me your address and I'll send you some more of my Rehmannia Pills. I'll ask Lao Tian to make you the best quality ones, the kind that only the older generation in my family are qualified to eat."

"Come, Master Zhao, let me carry you on my back again."

"No, go away!"

When everyone returned to the B&B, Li Zhuiyuan was in the room, trying to continue sealing the second piece of broken jade.

He failed.

After this thing completely erupts, it is very difficult to seal it back again. Moreover, the already messy remaining seal is filled with the aura of witchcraft and the seam of life and death.

Li Zhuiyuan would rather control the formation to fight with the people who came to his door than to immerse himself in studying this thing anymore. The smell of manure and fertilizer at his great-grandfather's house was fresher than this.

Tan Wenbin's voice came from outside the room:
"Brother Xiaoyuan, we are back. Shall I bring Master Zhao to you for your inspection?"

"No, put them all on the terrace."

Tan Wenbin immediately understood what Xiaoyuan meant and ordered the others to carry Zhao Yi and his two men onto the terrace.

Xu Ming was fine. Although he couldn't move, he was conscious at least.

You just need to take care of it and take medicine. Even if your strength can only be restored to 20% or 30%, at least it will be of some use when you go in.

As for Sun Yan, she fell into a deep coma after being bitten by her own pet.

Even if she could wake up in time, Zhao Yi didn't plan to take her to the table.

If the girl from the Yu family finally snatched the first piece of broken jade and joined the table, then bringing Sun Yan in would be equivalent to bringing a helper to them in disguise.

Looking at his own men and then at the men of the guy named Li, Zhao Yi sensed the gap.

However, this gap is not reflected in the level of "finding subordinates". The subordinates he found were not bad in foundation, but Li was more willing to train them and was more willing to share the merits with them to help them grow gradually.

Merit is a mysterious thing, but if the lamp lighter is truly willing to help them, his subordinates will naturally get a larger share after each wave.

Yin Meng helped Zhao Yi and others clean their wounds and change their clothes. Lin Shuyou, who had rich experience in facial surgery, was asked to put on makeup for them.

Last time, everyone had to act weak on purpose in order to hand over the broken jade. This time, everyone had to act strong and healthy.

“Hiss.” Tan Wenbin smacked his lips and said to Lin Shuyou, “Ahyou, put on heavier makeup. There’s no need to deliberately show off your makeup skills. I don’t want you to look like you’re not wearing any makeup!”

"okay!"

Lin Shuyou was very obedient and immediately put on heavy makeup as Bin Ge instructed.

Soon, the shape was completed.

Zhao Yi, who was as lithe as a boneless person, sat on the chair, Xu Ming, who was unable to move, was tied to the railing, and the unconscious Sun Yan was arranged to put her arms around Zhao Yi's neck, leaning against the chair where Zhao Yi was sitting, with her head lowered, as if she was being intimate and coquettish.

Even the bird that was strangled to death by Brother Xiaoyuan had its body reused and stood on Sun Yan's shoulder like a specimen, but it took a lot of glue.

Zhao Yi and Xu Ming, who were supposed to be in a sluggish and seriously injured state with little breathing, became handsome with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes under Lin Shuyou's makeup!
Tan Wenbin nodded with satisfaction and patted Ah You on the shoulder: "It can be seen that you watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes a lot during the winter and summer vacations."

Lin Shuyou: "I prefer Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

"Alright, each of you choose your own position and don't overlap. I'll go down and inform Brother Xiaoyuan."

Tan Wenbin went downstairs.

Zhao Yi looked at Sun Yan, who was very close to him, with some helplessness, and said, "My men and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Lin Shuyou said to Zhao Yi: "I heard that your family has offered a betrothal gift to Grandma Liu..."

Zhao Yi, who was originally barely breathing, was so frightened that he immediately glared: "Stop talking nonsense and destroying the relationship between me and Brother Zhuiyuan!"

Lin Shuyou smiled at him maliciously.

But who is Zhao Yi? He just narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately retorted:

"Look at how happy you are. Have you ever done anything inappropriate in your relationship? Have you ever thought about someone you shouldn't have thought about?"

When Lin Shuyou heard this, his tailbone felt cold and he stood up straight.

Zhao Yi continued: "Oh, the real owner is here too, and he doesn't even know about it.

Let me guess, who could it be?

There are only two people you are really afraid of here. Their surnames are definitely not Li, but..."

Lin Shuyou: "I warn you, don't talk nonsense and destroy the relationship between me and Brother Bin!"

Zhao Yi: "Then help me change her posture. Tie Sun Yan and the dead bird that is still shedding feathers to Xu Ming and let them perform in The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"Brother Bin has already inspected this design..."

"Tan Wenbin, I want to tell you a huge secret!"

Lin Shuyou immediately changed his position.

Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin walked up together, holding two pieces of broken jade in a wooden box.

The corpse qi in one of the pieces could no longer be suppressed and began to float upwards, which was enough to attract attention from all directions.

In fact, the changes in Feng Shui and meteorology around here indicate that someone has begun to approach here.

But the number ratio was not as large as imagined, probably because many people had seen the formation here that night, and after discovering that the location of the corpse gas was here again, after weighing the pros and cons, many people would rather fight for the other piece of broken jade.

But even so, the base number is there after all, and there are still quite a few people coming, but no one has taken the initiative to break the formation.

Li Zhuiyuan looked down at the two pieces of broken jade in the wooden box and found that cracks were gradually appearing on them, showing a trend of calcification.

This means that the countdown has begun.

Li Zhuiyuan even wanted to study how to speed up the process, but then he thought that if his intervention went wrong and caused problems with the two invitation letters, it would be a waste of time.

It doesn’t matter. It’s the last bit of time. Just wait.

Tan Wenbin glanced at Xu Ming and Sun Yan, who were tied together at the railing and proudly facing the wind, and asked:
"Why did you change the position?"

Lin Shuyou: “Because…”

Zhao Yi: "Look, Xu Ming is missing an arm. With that bird, isn't it the perfect match for the Condor Heroes?"

Hearing this, Tan Wenbin nodded: "Indeed."

Then, Tan Wenbin asked again: "I seemed to hear you calling me downstairs just now."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "My family has a secret method passed down from generation to generation that is suitable for controlling and restraining spiritual objects on the body. I can teach you so that you can better control them and reduce the invasion of ghost energy on the body."

Tan Wenbin shrugged: "Forget it, there is no need. I don't need to control them. They are very well behaved."

"But, your body..."

"It won't be long before the two children can be reincarnated."

"You are so willing to do so." Zhao Yi could see that the two resentful babies were fat and moist after eating so much. He didn't know how much merit and opportunities they had gained.

"That's what I promised their mother."

Tan Wenbin was too lazy to waste any more words on this matter. He walked over and adjusted the posture and position of Runsheng and Yin Meng.

"Runsheng, you stand in the middle and when you need it, open a few valves to fan the air and blow up everyone's hair and clothes. Remember not to open too many valves or the wind will be too strong and make everyone look messy.

Mengmeng, please put some more empty cans there, and also bring all the seasoning jars from Fat Jin's kitchen.

The higher the stack, the better. Put some real, less toxic poison powder in the top few cans. Sprinkle some as you see fit to create a gray atmosphere. Don't sprinkle too much. Sprinkle toward the sky, not toward people."

As for Lin Shuyou, he didn't need any instructions and directly put on a full set of makeup like an official, even wearing the fang brace, which made him look really powerful.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, Brother Fatty Jin and his family have already rested."

According to old rules, the front room where Fat Jin's family lived was isolated so that they could not hear any noise outside.

"Yeah." Li Zhuiyuan paused, a trace of pain appearing on his face.

However, before Li Zhuiyuan could speak, Tan Wenbin said first: "Once things get out of control, I will go to dismantle the formation in the front room and send them out. Oh no, I will escape with their family members."

The pain on Li Zhuiyuan's face disappeared.

The corpse gas bursting out of the broken jade was like a pillar. More and more people gathered outside the B&B. Some people were eager to give it a try, and soon someone would try to break the formation, which would then trigger a leading effect.

Li Zhuiyuan handed a piece of broken jade to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi said in a rough and hoarse voice: "Thank you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's my duty. I should thank you."

Zhao Yi: "After taking the seat, I will listen to your arrangements. As long as I survive this wave, I can help you get greater benefits."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone the fact that the two of them want to sever their sibling relationship.

This wave was very grand, and many people died just in the fight for the broken jade.

South of the colorful clouds, Li Zhuiyuan suspected that the place they were about to take their seats was most likely one of the nine secret realms.

The bigger the waves, the greater the rewards.

The black-robed zombie that appeared in A'li's dream appeared in Li Zhuiyuan's mind. It must have been waiting for a long time.

The cracking of the two pieces of jade accelerated, and powdery substances continued to fall off.

almost.

At this time, the man from the Yu family should be fighting fiercely for the first piece of broken jade.

But here, everything is still calm.

You can bluff as long as you can, and retain your composure so that you can be more calm when you take your seat.

Someone was about to break the formation, and the others were ready to follow.

Li Zhuiyuan spread out his palms, and the formation flag with a ceramic luster slowly rotated in his palms, causing layers of oppressive luster to appear around the formation.

Tan Wenbin took a step back and whistled.

The two children began to cry obediently, his hair fluttered, his hands were slightly opened out, and his toes were raised.

Combined with the sound effects and the eerie ghostly aura, as well as the powdered white face and overly bright red lips, it really feels like the King of Ghosts has descended.

Runsheng, who was standing in the center, opened the valve. Not only did his aura swell, but gusts of wind also blew up the entire terrace.

Yin Meng scattered the least toxic poison powder, and Run Sheng deliberately blew all of the poison powder upwards, as if releasing "purple dry ice".

Sun Yan and Xu Ming stood leaning against the railing. Sun Yan was unconscious and knew nothing.

Xu Ming turned his head with difficulty, looked at the woman beside him, then looked at the dead bird next to him, and the empty sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Zhao Yi bit his tongue, squeezed out a little more potential, and shouted:
"I've been running with you guys for so long, I'm tired and bored, come on, let's have a real fight!
My ancestor Zhao Wuyang, I, Zhao Yi, swear here that I will fight to the death here tonight, and never stop until I die! "

This oath was indeed correct. He no longer had the strength or conditions to run.

Moreover, if the most critical situation occurs, Mr. Li can run away, but he will definitely not take me with him when he runs away.

Bluffing does have an effect, but it cannot last long.

After all, the people present were not fools, and everyone could see the dark column of corpse energy.

You may be cautious, but in the end you still have to do what you have to do.

"Click... click... click..."

The cracking sound of broken jade could already be clearly heard, and at this rate, only a short while would remain.

Even if my formation is not very powerful, I can definitely hold out until the broken jade undergoes a complete transformation by fully concentrating my defense.

The qualification for the first round is now completely secured.

But, if we can avoid conflicts, we should do so. Every bit of savings is a plus.

Li Zhuiyuan stepped forward and looked around.

This scene of being surrounded was very similar to the approaching white fog that he had encountered in Ari's dream in the past.

Admittedly, not all of the things surrounding here are not presentable, but this does not affect the young man's ability to move his status quo from there to here.

There is a difference between bluffing and boasting.

Li Zhuiyuan's voice was transmitted through the effect of the formation, and he spoke loudly to the surroundings:
"You can lose the broken jade, but the ten people who took the lead in breaking the formation will be buried with you!"

For a while, the scene became quiet.

However, they did not retreat, nor could they retreat.

But it takes some time to convey messages to each other and agree to take action at the same time.

This amount of time is enough.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

The two pieces of jade broke completely and turned into a pool of powder, with a ray of yellow luster overflowing from it.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and grabbed it, and so did Zhao Yi who was sitting on the chair.

After the yellow light came into their hands, a mark appeared on the palms of both of them at the same time. This should be a real invitation to the banquet.

At the same time, the column of corpse gas above his head dissipated, the dark clouds above retreated, and the bright moonlight shone down.

All around, there were voices of regret, cursing, and helplessness.

Everyone knows that the corpse gas in the broken jade is a cover, and Jiang Shui deliberately allows everyone to fight and compete here, but once this cover is taken away, the original rules will return.

First, there is nothing left to fight for; second, if you continue to kill without reason, you will have to bear the consequences; third, those who failed to get the broken jade must consider the next wave that is approaching.

You know, Zhao Yi almost lost his life in the next wave because the wave he was supposed to catch was eaten up by Li Zhuiyuan alone.

Some people turned around after cursing, some people congratulated and then retreated, and most people chose to leave quickly in silence.

An unexpected start, a bloody and cruel process, and an absurd and unrestrained ending.

Looking at this scene, Li Zhuiyuan felt a brief sense of sadness in his heart.

After lighting the lamp and before giving up, your destiny is no longer in your control. You have to go wherever the river pushes you.

This is the truth: Once you enter the world, you have no choice.

Unfortunately, this complex and high-end emotion that finally appeared came and went quickly, and I didn't have time to savor it.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the mark on his palm, walked up to Zhao Yi, and said:
"Not easy."

Zhao Yi's face twitched. He felt that the boy was showing off to him, but it didn't look like that. The boy was expressing his emotion sincerely.

However, this made him feel even more depressed and unbalanced!
Zhao Yi's face began to turn red, and wisps of white smoke rose above his head. He looked very hot.

Li Zhuiyuan was afraid that he would be so angry that he would die in his current state, which would waste a precious spot. He could only say again:
"Well, it's not easy for you."

Zhao Yi tilted his head, not knowing whether he had tried his best to get here or whether he was hit hard again by this perfunctory comfort.

Anyway, he passed out.

Lin Shuyou wiped the paint off his face, looked left and right, and asked, "Are you okay? What should we do next?"

Runsheng:

"Have a meal."
