Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 201

Is it a human or a cat?

After hearing this conversation, Zhao Yi could be sure that she was the cat!
It is impossible to evaluate her acting skills, because if she had any acting skills, she would not act like this.

This self-righteous brain and this habit of overdoing things are almost exactly the same as Yu Miaomiao in the past.

Previously, the methods used by the "teacher", combined with his questions to the woman in the black skirt, made Zhao Yi boldly guess that the "teacher" should have a very close relationship with the Yu family, and there is a high probability that he is a member of the Yu family.

Zhao Yi didn't believe that the "teacher" couldn't see it.

He should have seen it, but he chose not to expose it, and instead deceived himself and acquiesced in it.

This is a second-best option.

Then the “secondly” here must be a common point.

The common point between a person and a cat is... they are both members of the Yu family?

Zhao Yi felt that this should be the answer.

The "teacher" hid here for a very long time using a special method and paid the price of his life and freedom.

There must be a purpose behind making such a huge sacrifice.

This kind of ambition requires a carrier of interests, and that should be the Yu family.

Tsk.

No wonder the “teacher” deliberately didn’t open this layer of the wall to let Mr. Li out.

The intention was to lock up Mr. Li there in this way, making him unable to do anything and naturally unable to come forward to participate in the profit sharing.

This is clearly a struggle for family interests between the Dragon King family and the Dragon King family.

When he thought of this, a gloating smile appeared on Zhao Yi's face.

You always suffer in front of the young man and he takes advantage of you every time. Now, finally there is someone who can teach you a lesson, hehe.

However, the schadenfreude was short-lived.

Zhao Yi's eyes soon darkened again.

Although he couldn't bear to see Mr. Li always gain the upper hand, he also didn't want to see Mr. Li suffer a loss.

After all the calculations, Zhao Yi still lost face in the end.

However, the current situation is still not very clear. If he wants to fight for those interests, he has to wait until the interests really appear. After all, he doesn't even know what he is fighting for now.

Don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer. Anyway, we have enough manpower and the chips to put on the table.

Zhao Yi began to turn his attention back to the four people around him.

During this period of time, he has been living with Li Zhuiyuan's group day and night. Under this model, some secrets simply cannot be kept.

Even if he didn't deliberately peek, he could still get a rough idea of ​​the strength of their team. Of course, Li Zhuiyuan didn't care about it.

Run Sheng, who was standing in front of him holding a Yellow River shovel, was, under normal circumstances, not much different from his subordinate Xu Ming.

Under abnormal circumstances, Runsheng can kill Xu Ming instantly.

In addition, Runsheng's sustained combat capability is much stronger than Xu Ming's.

There's no way around it. He's practicing the orthodox Qin family body-refining technique, and he's opening the valves in his physical body. It can be said to be the best example of integrating a person's special physique with body-refining techniques.

Having such a person, who is at the front and can carry the load, fight and last, is simply a blessing for every team commander.

Tan Wenbin practiced the art of taming ghosts, which was a forbidden method that would shorten one's lifespan.

However, people who practice this kind of magic are least worried about shortening their lifespan; this is the most basic default cost.

Especially for those walking on the river, as long as they can step over each wave, they can use merit to make up for their own consumption. In this context, life span has become a quantifiable and replenishable consumable.

Those who practice this method fear the most the backlash from the sneaky attacks, so every time they try to control them, most of their attention has to be spent on how to suppress and guard against them.

But Tan Wenbin didn't care about this at all. He trusted it completely and let it go. This meant that others could only exert 50% of the power using this forbidden method, but Tan Wenbin could do 150%. He could even think about things with the help of the ghost baby's brain!

Zhao Yi had personally witnessed Yin Meng's poison, which even the person in the coffin could not replicate. During the battle, he could use surprise troops or use this method to divide or compress the field.

It's just that this method of poisoning is a bit too primitive. Zhao Yi thinks it can be combined with Tan Wenbin's ghost-controlling technique to allow ghosts or spirits to enrich the use of toxins.

Well, Shannu is dead, but I still have some books on Gu Shu left by Shannu, and some Gu jars are buried in the medicinal fields managed by Lao Tian. I can send them to her for further study, as Gu Shu is naturally more compatible with poison.

As for the place now, my best friend Lin Shuyou...

Lin Shuyou's physical condition has not yet fully recovered from the teaching game, but he has a very good relationship with the official general Shou Yin Shen. During the teaching game, he saw Bai He Tongzi many times using his precious divine power to restore and care for Ayou's body.

Ordinary ghosts would not bother to pay attention to the weak medium and would not even bother to be controlled by the medium.

But Lin Shuyou is a special case. Zhao Yi even suspects that if Lin Shuyou has a high fever one day, he can use his spirit to ask the White Crane Boy to heal him.

All in all, Zhao Yi was very satisfied with the team configuration.

In the past, I just stood outside and watched, but this time I came in and "drove" myself, and then I realized how well that guy named Li eats.

Everyone has his or her own role layout, and what is even more valuable is that there is a clear development plan.

The guy named Li really puts a lot of effort into his subordinates.

This is the real Dragon King Walking Along the River team.

Brick by brick, they built it with their own hands and laid a solid foundation.

In comparison, his team had become severely lame after Old Man Tian returned home to handle logistics and Shannu died.

This is not just a matter of adding manpower. First of all, very important things like tacit understanding and trust cannot be established overnight.

Secondly, since he has the ready-made high-quality goods, can’t he just light a lamp and go on the river to earn merit? Why does he have to rely on others to take the lion’s share while he only takes the smaller share?
There is only one person who can become the Dragon King in each generation. Who knows whether you can succeed or not? You might as well just focus on what is in front of you, eat your fill first, and then light the lamp a second time and admit defeat.

Therefore, many gangsters or people from ordinary families often lose too many people in one wave, and have to choose to admit defeat, because they have no way to rebuild and supplement the team, and have no ability to deal with the next wave which is more difficult.

And apart from those special cases with overwhelming personal charm, only those with higher family backgrounds will have subordinates with higher potential and greater power around them. They are not after your family background, but they think that your probability of becoming the Dragon King is higher than others, and they are willing to fight with you for the position of Dragon King.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Zhao Yi began to take deep breaths, repeatedly warning himself in his heart to stay true to his heart. He began to worry that after having fun this time, he would lose interest in his team when he returned.

Li Zhuiyuan on the next floor couldn't hear the conversation. He couldn't even read Yu Zangsheng's lips because his lips didn't move, only his fingers were shaking.

But from the changes in the woman in the black dress, Li Zhuiyuan could guess what had happened.

Yu Miaomiao is not dead, Yu Miaomiao has come back to life, and the one left behind must be the cat. There is no need to ask or toss a coin.

The cat has always been the main body in that body, and it is the real cat Yu Miaomiao.

When your luck and destiny are sucked away, the cat that occupies the main body will definitely take the initiative to send Yu Miaomiao herself out of its body as a sacrifice.

Moreover, according to the rules, the people sucked by the woman in the black skirt are also members of the Yu family.

After all, he had visited the ten inhabited floors of the tower, and they were all human, with no monsters or other species mixed in.

Li Zhuiyuan believed that Yu Zangsheng must be aware of this, but he actually reached out and touched the head of the woman in the black skirt, and the woman in the black skirt also snuggled up to him with admiration.

Aren’t you, Yu Zangsheng, the one who hates the most the rebels in your family?
I have called it a beast time and again, but what is it doing now?
Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder how big the motivation of interests is that would make you sacrifice your own conscience and accept it temporarily even if you have to hold your nose.

We can rule out a wrong answer first: Yu Zangsheng definitely did not dream of becoming an immortal.

If he wanted to pursue this dream, he would not have stayed there as a teacher.

With his strength in his lifetime, he was able to walk here and be qualified to enter the tower.

In fact, this tower is not just about plundering, it has its own competitive ecology.

If Yu Miaomiao had not chosen one of the three strongest ones, but had chosen a weaker one and killed him, she would have been able to obtain the other's accumulation, and then enter the tower and replace his position.

The tower bells can control the bells, which means that the ringing of the bells is affected by the rules within the tower.

Therefore, from the very beginning, this is not a game of gaining recognition and finding partners, but a game of which floor and which person's ecological niche you can occupy under the judgment of the tower's rules. The tower believes that you are qualified to replace it, make this place stronger, and welcome ascension with a more perfect attitude.

Yu Miaomiao's sacrifice and self-introduction were not meant to impress the woman in the black dress, but actually to impress Gaota, who gave her this opportunity.

The tower's judgment on Zhao Yi is that he can replace the positions of two of them on the tenth floor.

Of course, if you fail to defeat the enemy and are killed, you will also be absorbed, which is another way of integrating into the tower. Anyway, the tower will not lose.

If Yu Zangsheng came here with the intention of ascending to become an immortal, he would definitely choose to enter the tower, obtain a position, and wait for the opportunity to ascend to come.

The fact that he didn't do so means that he was planning something bigger.

In other words, he saw a deeper side, and what he wanted to obtain was also hidden deeper.

Thinking of this, Li Zhuiyuan's gaze fell on the tower again.

A deeper interest?

Negative second floor.

Yu Zangsheng suppressed the strong nausea and rejection in his heart, gently pushed the woman in the black skirt away, and let her behave herself.

Even if you want to play a human, you have to know that your real human age is about the same as the boy downstairs. Only cats can reach the estrus period at such a young age.

If he had a choice, if he could leave here and return home, he would definitely correct the family's customs at all costs, even if it meant his death.

But he had no choice, he couldn't leave here, he was already dead, he had long been bound to this place and merged into it.

The sky at home changed color, and he was powerless to do anything. The only thing he could do now was to bring this great merit back home in the name of her, a member of the Yu family.

In this way, we pray to heaven for an opportunity and a turning point, so that the Yu family can be protected and turn around, or at least not be completely mixed up, at least a side branch can be separated.

Yu Miaomiao was pushed away. She could feel the alienation from the consciousness inside A Yuan's body... no, it was disgusting.

Although I have changed my body, the thing in my original body that always held me back and made me hesitate when doing things is completely gone.

She became more pure and had a clearer understanding of her identity.

This is truly the arrogance of a "member" of the Yu family.

Yu Miaomiao recalled that one night, her grandmother held her hand and sat by the pond to chat. The moonlight was hazy, and her grandmother's round eyes exuded a luster more dazzling than the moonlight, and her long beard made her look even more lively and energetic.

Grandma said that in the past, the Yu family was the most noble. It was obvious that the Yu family relied on spirit beasts to establish their family, but it was the Yu family that looked down on us the most.

Grandma also said that the Yu family does not only belong to the Yu family “people”, they also have the surname Yu, and they also have a share of the Yu family.

Grandma also said that now everything is fine and everything has been corrected.

Grandma finally smiled and said that it was good that the girl stayed in your body. These "people" can help us become smarter. When it comes to brains, we really can't compare with those people.

Yu Zangsheng said, "Next, you will listen to my instructions and do what I say. I will allow you to bring a great merit back to the Yu family."

Yu Miaomiao said softly, "I understand. I will follow your instructions in everything. I will do whatever you ask me to do, because I can feel the intimacy of family members in you."

The corner of Zhao Yi's mouth twitched. He was now somewhat envious of Mr. Li who could not hear any sound downstairs.

Otherwise, you could hear the guy who used to be able to laugh like a barbell, imitating Lin Daiyu.

Yu Zangsheng suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded. He spoke again, more to comfort himself than to Yu Miaomiao:

"I do this all for the Yu family."

"Of course, I can see your dedication. Your love and care for your family are my role models."

Yu Zangsheng clenched his fists.

He held back and didn't hit Yu Miaomiao.

He took a few steps forward, raised his head and looked at the clock on the top of the tower.

Yu Miaomiao took the initiative to get closer again. She felt that the more the other person hated her, the more enthusiastic and well-behaved she should be.

Deep down, she actually hated him.

Disgusted that he had taken over Yuan's body.

She hated the fact that although his surname was Yu, he deliberately tortured and harassed herself and A Yuan for so long in the examination room behind the stone gate.

How dare you say that it was for the Yu family?

Grandma’s evaluation of the “people” in your Yu family was indeed correct.

Yu Zangsheng didn’t want to think about Yu Miaomiao’s inner thoughts anymore, because he felt uncomfortable whenever he thought of this person.

And now, it's time to focus on business.

On the top floor of the tower, the faceless man appeared again.

Their eyes met.

Yu Zangsheng: Are you going to come down, or should I go up?

The faceless man did not move.

Yu Zangsheng: Then let me go up.

He had been preparing for this day for a long time and had also developed other methods.

But he didn't expect that the Yu family would become what it is today. Although this was not what he had imagined, it was equivalent to actively presenting him with a new and better method, and it greatly increased his success rate.

Yu Zangsheng pointed to the tower door in front and said, "Miaomiao, go and push open that door."

Yu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment.

Previously in the tower, she had suffered a great psychological trauma from the restrictions and oppression inside.

Now, he actually asked him to push the tower gate?
Yu Zangsheng: "Go quickly and push it open."

"Yes."

Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath, and then felt a surge of discomfort in her body. She forgot that her current body was dead. It was a bit like a zombie, and a bit like death. In short, under the special environment here, she had formed a strange dead thing that did not need to breathe.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked up to the upper floor, where his body parts were still scattered.

She also saw her own head.

She likes her round, chubby face very much. Her grandmother says it represents a blessing.

Even if I could leave here alive, I would have to live in this dead body forever?

Then what’s the point of living like this?
You will no longer be able to enjoy the various sensory enjoyments of food and drink.

What's more, after leaving here, my dead body will decay. Even if my family uses various methods, it will be difficult to maintain the current state.

What awaits her is endless torture for the rest of her life.

Yu Miaomiao looked at the hole on the two floors above.

Since you were already on Yuan's body, and you clearly had the ability to open the wall and come down, why did you wait until I was killed before coming down?
If you had come down earlier, I wouldn't have to die. Now you are still pretending to be a good person here, so hypocritical!
There was a flash of resentment in Yu Miaomiao's eyes.

She recalled the scene of herself being killed before, the pain and despair, even if she was "resurrected", it still made her shudder.

I didn't have to suffer the pain in the beginning, let alone the pain in the end. All of this is your fault!
Yu Zangsheng's voice came again: "Hurry up, don't dawdle."

As he said this, Yu Zangsheng lowered his head and looked down. The young man was standing right under his feet.

He was certain that the boy was from the Dragon King's family.

Because when the boy spoke to himself, he said "walk along the river".

Secondly, the young man’s evaluation of Zhao Wuyang reflects a certain pattern. Only the direct descendants of the Dragon King’s family can have such profound understanding and experience.

Of course, there are many outstanding people in the world, and true heroes can also emerge from the grassroots, but looking at the boy from the Zhao family in Jiujiang, who is so obedient to the young man, this young man is definitely not from the grassroots.

Zhao Wuyang was able to play with the common people back then, but his descendants after he became the Dragon King would not have the same state of mind as Zhao Wuyang.

Yu Zangsheng was very angry. He could absorb A Yuan's memories, but in A Yuan's memories, there was no knowledge that the boy was from the Dragon King's family. He found out about this himself by asking about it.

At the top of the tower, the faceless man stood there, continuing to look down.

Yu Miaomiao placed her hands on the tower door. The moment they touched, a terrible pressure descended on her and she immediately let out a wail.

"what!!!"

She let go of her hand and took two steps back. The tower door remained motionless.

"I, I, I can't push it away. It hurts so much. It's so painful."

This is simply torture!

Yu Zangsheng: "Push with all your strength, you can push it!"

There was a stern warning in Yu Zangsheng's words.

Yu Miaomiao's body trembled, and she had to stretch out her hands again and put them on the tower door.

The intense feeling of pain came over her again, and she wailed again. This time, she persisted a little longer, and the crack in the door was pushed open a little more.

"what!!!"

Yu Miaomiao let go of her hands again, stepped back, and fell to the ground.

The corners of Yu Zangsheng's mouth twitched.

The word "waste" almost came out of my mouth.

He can't even accept this little bit of pain. Was this beast actually brought up in a pampered environment?

You know, he has been lurking here for many years for this. Compared with the physical pain, the spiritual loneliness is more despairing.

Tan Wenbin looked at Zhao Yi with some confusion: "Can this door be opened like this?"

Binbin’s attainment in formations was not very high, but he knew that the formation of this tower was definitely very advanced.

Otherwise, Brother Xiaoyuan would definitely break it instead of following its rules.

Zhao Yi replied: "Because the door should have been opened to let the people on the third underground floor go back. Now the door was only opened a crack and then closed, which is a violation of the rules.

The woman in the black dress is now the real eldest daughter of the Yu family.

She originally lived in the tower, so it was natural for her to return to the tower.

So she can make the rules work by pushing the door herself.

Theoretically, she could push the door open.

It's a pity that she is too delicate, after all, she is a noble lady."

Zhao Yi knew that A Yuan had very good hearing.

Therefore, he had deliberately emphasized the words "the eldest lady of the Yu family", "spoiled" and "precious".

He was putting eye drops into Yu Zangsheng's eyes.

They are both smart people, but he is actually smart in a different way than the boy.

Li Zhuiyuan is good at deduction, integrating all factors and conditions to choose the optimal solution.

Zhao Yi is on the verge of life and death every day. He is good at seeing through people's hearts, or in other words, manipulating people's hearts.

The fact that he survived several times in front of Li Zhuiyuan is the best proof.

Yu Zangsheng: "Get up and keep pushing. No matter how much suffering you endure now, it is worth it compared to the opportunities I will give you and your family!" Yu Miaomiao had no choice but to stand up again.

Give me a chance?
Well said.

Why don't you push it yourself?

But although Yu Miaomiao was dissatisfied, she was actually a little afraid of Yu Zangsheng.

Grandma said that the current Yu family "people" are nothing, but the Yu family members in the past were very scary.

Yu Miaomiao put her hand on the tower door again and exerted force.

What followed was pain and wailing.

Her original body was not that of an ordinary person, but rather half human, half demon.

And some uncomfortable feelings can be transferred to another part of the body. For example, every time she is injured in battle, she lets the real "little girl" in her body bear the pain.

Anyway, she is of no use in my body, so I might as well help share the burden with her.

Over time, after changing her body and disappearing with the girl from the Yu family, Yu Miaomiao has found it difficult to adapt to the pain that is directly inflicted on herself. Her pain threshold is actually very low.

"what!!!"

This time, she persisted a little longer, and the gap in the door was pushed to the size of a baby's fist.

Then, she staggered backwards and fell to the ground.

In a rage, she almost went crazy, drew the sword from her waist and started swinging it.

When Yu Zangsheng saw this, he was immediately shocked.

She pushed the door, which was in accordance with the rules, but if she dared to attack the tower, especially the tower door, she would immediately face a counterattack from the tower!
idiot!

Yu Zangsheng appeared in front of Yu Miaomiao and slapped her.

"Snapped!"

Yu Miaomiao was stunned.

A Yuan’s slap was so powerful that it broke Yu Miaomiao’s left cheek and the pus inside began to drip down.

But Yu Miaomiao herself was not knocked away and still stood there.

Because this body is very strong.

But now, it's just physical strength.

Yu Miaomiao wanted to learn the move that the woman in the black dress used repeatedly to kill her before, but she just danced with the sword but did not release the terrible blow.

She took advantage of a loophole in the rules, and with the help of Yu Zangsheng, she gained control of the other person's body, but was unable to use his moves.

Fortunately, it was not used. If it had been used, the situation would have collapsed completely.

Behind him, Zhao Yi put his hands on Lin Shuyou's shoulders, buried his face in Lin Shuyou's chest, and kept moving.

Lin Shuyou was a little confused, he just knew that this hateful guy was laughing happily for no apparent reason.

“Hehehe…Hehehe!”

Zhao Yi was about to burst out laughing, and his heart began to ache from laughing so much, but he still couldn't help laughing.

This silly girl, after occupying someone else's body, couldn't even use her muscle memory!
This is nothing, fools have good fortune.

Even though I have lowered my standards for Yu Miaomiao time and time again, I am still amazed by her time and time again.

"It hurts, it really hurts!" Yu Miaomiao felt very aggrieved.

Yu Zangsheng's gaze turned cold.

"Okay, I don't need you anymore."

"Really? Thank you, thank you." Yu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she no longer had to endure the pain she had suffered before.

Yu Zangsheng pinched his hands, and the gray and white colors in his eyes flowed again.

Yu Miaomiao was a little confused at first and didn't know what he was doing, but soon she understood.

"no, do not want!"

A mark was stamped from Yu Zangsheng's hand into Yu Miaomiao's body.

The Yu family's beast taming technique.

Controlling monsters is the basis, and it also has miraculous effects on the spirits of monsters.

More importantly, the effects are completely different when used by different people.

Just like Sun Yan's animals under Zhao Yi and Prince Mu at the gate, who were all directly controlled by Yu Miaomiao and A Yuan and had no power to resist, Yu Miaomiao was also unable to resist the control from Yu Zangsheng.

Her thoughts were solidified in a narrow range, her consciousness began to be guided, and then her body began to involuntarily turn into a puppet.

Yu Zangsheng: "Even if it's not for the family, even if it's just for you, you have to endure this little bit of hardship!"

Yu Miaomiao pressed her hands heavily against the door.

Although her body was not under her control, the terrible pain still came upon her.

Moreover, because her body was controlled, she could not retreat, and she didn't even know when it would end. She could only exert force, force, and force again in a very desperate way.

Deep in Yu Miaomiao's eyes, a deep resentment had already emerged!

Her hatred had reached its peak.

What opportunity, what for the family, what for my own good, it's all lies.

How could you have been hiding here for so many years just to help the family? And how could you give this opportunity to an unrelated outsider like me?

Family is just your excuse, and I am just a tool you chose to satisfy your personal desires!

The tower door on the second floor below ground was slowly and continuously being pushed open.

The third and first floors below ground were also opened simultaneously.

Li Zhuiyuan originally thought that this was just normal synchronization, but the faceless man who was originally at the top of the tower disappeared, and he appeared at the door of the negative third floor instead.

Yu Zangsheng noticed this scene and narrowed his eyes.

Which Dragon King's clan did this young man come from to deserve such special care!

When Yu Zangsheng arrived here, the one on the top of the tower was there.

He didn't know who that person was. He only knew that although that person came earlier than him, he was not much older than him.

Moreover, the top of this tower originally did not require a bell ringer.

Because the formation has long been mature and the rules have long been perfected, everything can operate naturally, and the bell will ring by itself when the time comes.

That person has not been here since the creation of this place.

But since that person was able to come to the top floor and forcibly gave himself the identity of a bell ringer, it means that his ancestors must have a close relationship with this place, and may even be the ones who built and laid out this place.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Yi, who was smiling just now, felt sour again and even a little angry.

Okay, that’s what I said, relatives are just relatives. If you count the dead, who else has more relatives and friends than you!
Li Zhuiyuan could not explain this, let alone explain it.

Extracting your own waves from Ari's dream is your own secret, and you will not tell anyone except the people in your own team.

But the young man was also really curious as to why this person wanted to appear here to see him at this time.

Yu Miaomiao was in great pain. The tower door was constantly being pushed open, but it would take a long time to push it open enough for an adult to enter.

Because... Yuan is quite tall.

As for Yu Miaomiao's resentful eyes and inner curses, Yu Zangsheng didn't care, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Li Zhuiyuan walked towards the tower door on his level.

The wall beneath Yu Zangsheng's feet began to tremble slightly. He now felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have brought the boy up. He didn't expect that something "accident" would happen when he was alone down there.

It seems meaningless to pick it up now.

The most important thing is that doing so would be too obvious.

He was not afraid of the power behind the young man. After all, he was from a legitimate Dragon King family. He respected other members of the Dragon King family, but he was not afraid of them.

He was just embarrassed to do anything too obvious to suppress her. It was fine if it was just a normal dispute over the interests of the family, but it was really beneath his dignity to really lower himself to bully a young junior.

In front of Li Zhuiyuan, he relied on himself as an elder, especially when he found that Li Zhuiyuan had Zhao Wuyang's copper coin sword in his hand, he gave Zhao Wuyang a very high evaluation.

He and Zhao Wuyang were competitors in the same period, and they were also rivals who respected each other. He believed that Zhao Wuyang rose step by step in their era without showing off, and finally became the Dragon King.

You know, in that generation, not only did many dragons appear in the grass, but each Dragon King family also had extremely outstanding successors. In other eras, these people could compete for the position of Dragon King, but in the end, the winner was still Zhao Wuyang.

This is a good kid, a good kid with a bright future, he likes it.

Faceless Man: "Is the book good?"

Li Zhuiyuan replied: "I don't understand it yet, but it feels good to touch."

Faceless Man: "Not bad, you understood something so quickly."

Li Zhuiyuan: "What's wrong?"

Faceless Man: "Nothing, I just want to talk to you."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Oh.”

Faceless Man: "I originally wanted to ascend in front of you, but now I am almost there. When something unexpected happened, it happened."

Li Zhuiyuan: “This is normal.”

Faceless Man: "Good things take time?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Things that are impossible to achieve will naturally have all kinds of impossible changes. It is a dream and we will wake up eventually."

Faceless Man: “It’s the same thing he said back then.”

"you lose."

"Of course. He was placed on the altar in the girl's dream, which obviously means he won. But I told him at the time that the real winner is not in the moment. I will prove it to him later."

"The sentence I just said actually applies here."

"You will see it, child. I promise that I will let you witness the real ascension with your own eyes. Then, I will kill you at the moment of becoming an immortal.

I will go to the real heaven and become an immortal high above.

And you will go to the hell of reincarnation, go down there and tell him about my success. "

"He has no spirit."

The faceless man was silent.

Li Zhuiyuan smiled.

You desperately pursue the dream of becoming an immortal, but others, for the sake of this world, don't even want the only trace.

This is not a kind of irony.

Because, you haven't succeeded yet, but others have already fulfilled their promise and mission and succeeded.

The faceless man seemed unable to walk out of the tower, so he stood inside the tower gate.

Upstairs, Yu Miaomiao was pushing the door in great pain, causing the face of the faceless man at Li Zhuiyuan's place to become larger and larger.

No matter how big this is, it doesn't make any sense.

The faceless man spoke again: "He was just a little early, and I was just a little late. I will use your eyes and your life to commemorate the oath I made back then."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It seems that you don't completely believe this."

Faceless Man: "I don't believe this. Why am I here? Do you know how long I have been here? I am confined in this tower and cannot leave."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You just can't afford to lose."

"Hehehe...hehehehe..."

The faceless man laughed for a long time.

"Actually, you can try to beg for mercy. If you do, I'll feel bad about killing you."

"If I beg for mercy, you will only want to kill me more because I have tarnished his name."

"So do you want to live?"

"I do, but whether I live or die has nothing to do with you."

"You shouldn't have gone into the river so early. The blessings of the two families would never allow you to be swept into the river so early. Why?"

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and casually flipped through the wordless book in his hand.

It’s all because of my love of reading. It’s all because of reading.

"I also like reading. There is a legend passed down from generation to generation in my family. There is also a book buried under the ancestral tomb. No descendants are allowed to see it."

"Rules shouldn't be set like this. Such rules will only make future generations listen to the opposite."

“Well, there is a terrible ban under my family’s ancestral tomb. When I went in, I saw many corpses of ancestors, and it was obvious that everyone was disobedient.

Anyone who enters there will die. That ancestor did not lie. He must have done it on purpose because that legend is not only in my family, it is also a rumor in the world.

Therefore, I suspect that he deliberately established this rule to lure in and kill ambitious descendants in the future."

"You're not dead?"

"I'm dead. I burned everything to win, and I'm dying, but I still lost to him.

When I entered the ancestral tomb, I was actually already a dead person, and that is why I was able to walk out alive with the book."

Li Zhuiyuan spread out the wordless book in his hand and showed it to the faceless man.

What I mean is, I have shown you my book, so you can also tell me about your book.

“The restriction imposed by our ancestors has a time limit. It will be lifted when the time comes, and this book will appear in the world. I just got it in advance.

There really isn't much recorded in the book.

I just recorded the location here, and added: On the day when the restriction is broken, the whole clan will go here to welcome the great opportunity for our clan."

"What's the date?"

"It's today."

"So you arrived so early?"

"Well, not only did I arrive early, I also brought my entire family here early. Unfortunately, they were not eligible to enter the tower and could only be placed in the two kneeling pits.

There are all nobles in here, so it's not a humiliation to them, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan knew that when the Faceless Man said "already dead", he meant that he had turned himself into a state of neither human nor ghost. As for bringing his entire family here... he meant that he had killed his entire family and brought their bodies here.

"It's my fault. I entered the forbidden zone ahead of time and got the book. I was already dead at that time and didn't have much time left in the world. I could only rush here.

But I was afraid that because of me, the whole family would lose this great opportunity, so I had to take them with me. This was for their own good, after all, they were family.

Do you think I did the right thing?"

"I don't care about that."

"Oh?"

"You can't control the formation here, right?"

Compared with human tragedy, Li Zhuiyuan is more concerned about technical issues.

Faceless Man: "No, but the rules here, because I have the blood of my ancestors, they can give me some preferential treatment for the sake of my ancestors."

"Oh." Li Zhuiyuan nodded and commented, "This is a flaw, it's not perfect. Your ancestors should have made some changes. How can a formation be based on appearances?"

"After you die, go down and have a good conversation with him."

"Hey, didn't your ancestors ascend to heaven?"

“The restriction in the ancestral tomb uses his body as the center of the formation, so I can’t take it away.

The day the ban is lifted will be the day his body disintegrates.

Because of this, he lost the chance to ascend, probably because of what you just said. I, a descendant, can be treated favorably by the rules here just because of my thin bloodline. If he were here, the rules would be directly broken when they saw his complete face."

Li Zhuiyuan pointed upstairs and said, "The door is already open wide enough, aren't you going to do something?"

"Well, I just came to tell you that you'll have to wait a little longer. Once I'm done, I'll start right away."

"Okay, I know."

The faceless man disappeared.

But his figure did not appear on the top floor again, but appeared on the eleventh floor.

On the eleventh floor, there were originally three beds for three people, but now, there are only two left.

In fact, there are differences among these three people.

The woman in the black dress is the sharpest, the scholar is the most mysterious... and the old Taoist priest is the most powerful.

That is to say, the big clock is on the twelfth floor, so he can only live on the eleventh floor. Logically, he should sit on the first floor alone.

The faceless man was now standing in front of the old Taoist priest.

Of course, as he had told the boy before, there were limits to how much the rules could do for him.

But there was one exception.

He stretched out his hand and slowly tore off his facial skin from bottom to top.

The tower began to tremble.

The dark shadows within the jade began to move around excitedly, and the teachers and students in the school began to worship it.

After the face skin without facial features is torn off, a new face skin is revealed, and this new face skin has facial features.

He only opened it halfway and stopped, just below his nose. Because of the vibration of the tower, it was becoming increasingly uncontrollable and he could not continue tearing it.

But this is enough.

He has no face because he tore off the face of his ancestor and pasted it on his own.

He said that he was treated preferentially because of the formation here, which was done for the sake of his ancestors' face. This was absolutely true.

The half-faced man spoke to the Taoist priest in front of him:

"The road to becoming an immortal has been full of ups and downs, but today my destiny is almost complete, and the great cause of ascension is just ahead. I need to overcome the last calamity.

Therefore,
Please ask the Taoist priest to come down the mountain!"
