Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 210

At the top of the tower, the faceless man glanced at Yu Miaomiao who was standing motionless in front of the big clock.

He had been imprisoned in this tower for so many years that, except for the bottom of the tower, he was very familiar with every detail of the twelve floors. The murals on the first floor were particularly deeply engraved in his mind.

However, it was not until now that he truly understood the true meaning of the ascension picture in the murals.

In the painting, the figures of the man with destiny and the people in the tower overlap, and they ring the bell, which leads to the vision of ascension.

The overlap here can easily be seen as two people facing the clock, standing one in front and one behind. The painting perspective is from behind them, as if to highlight that there are two people, so another human figure is drawn inside the figure of the person in the tower.

But in fact, it refers to the person of destiny in the body of the person in the tower.

Isn’t this Yu Miaomiao at this moment?
This dual soul in one body is rare, but not too rare. To be honest, Tan Wenbin still has three souls in one body.

But souls are different from each other. Those carried on the body or attached to it have obvious primary and secondary roles, and the fate and destiny have a clear primary and secondary relationship.

But here with Yu Miaomiao, everything is relatively equal.

The "Yu Family Girl" was supposed to be the legitimate daughter of this generation of the Yu Family. Her status in the family was similar to that of A'li of the Qin Family today. Her fate and fortune blessed by the Dragon King could not change her essence even if she was suppressed by the cat.

As for the cat, it is not a traditional accessory of the Yu family, nor is it a tool for the cat demon's soul to attach to. It has always held absolute dominance in this body, and the stupidity and arrogance of "Yu Miaomiao" herself are basically contributed by it.

The lady that Yuan recognized is this cat. The real main force behind the journey is also this cat. In addition, after the incident at the Yu family, the Dragon King's family has been changed. Therefore, its current identity is not a cat demon that rebels and devours its master. Strictly speaking, it is the more orthodox cat lady of the Yu family.

The two souls are uniquely equal and their destinies are blessed by the Dragon King. This is why they can add two touches to the big clock with their own efforts.

"hehe."

The faceless man chuckled. He believed that the young man should have understood the meaning of the painting long ago.

It's ridiculous that I am in the middle of a situation but I am still in a daze and confused.

Fortunately, our fortune and destiny have been fulfilled, the road to becoming an immortal has been opened, and it’s time for us to ascend to heaven!

The faceless man raised his head, bathed in the sunset glow, and opened his arms.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the face without any facial features.

He has already guessed what his identity is, but he doesn't care. If the meaning of his existence is to fulfill his obsession of becoming an immortal, then let the facts speak for themselves!
Whoever wins is right; whoever succeeds is the real person.

When I become an immortal,

you,
It's nothing but the burden of the skin I shed in the past!
……

Bottom of the tower.

The purple chains were colliding wildly.

The man in black robe fell into rage.

However, no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail at this moment. The cage he had designed for himself would continue to trap him.

Gradually, he calmed down, his eyes fixed on the chess game in front of him that he had already won:

"Become an immortal... Then become an immortal, become an immortal!"

The obsession is removed, but it can still grow.

Sometimes, belief or disbelief is not that important in the face of reality.

……

Although the tower gate was not closed, the rosy glow instantly enveloped it.

In other words, Li Zhuiyuan stepped down from the threshold and left the tower in time, otherwise he would have been included.

Above, the emerald dome gradually took on a rainbow of colors, looking exceptionally gorgeous and solemn.

Inside the tower, the restless dead on each floor all calmed down, stopped moving around and hitting the tower walls, and fell back to their original seats.

The originally surging horde of zombies first stopped and then knelt down collectively.

They have maintained this posture in the kneeling pit for who knows how many years.

Not only were there many of them on the platform, but all the dark shadows in the emerald barriers as far as the eye could see were also kneeling down and worshipping the tower.

Looking around, this scene is truly shocking, as if one has descended into a fairyland or ascended into paradise.

Lin Shuyou turned around on the spot with his mouth wide open. He grew up in a temple, and there was no shortage of paintings and wall carvings depicting gods and immortals in the temple, but he never expected that one day he would be able to see it with his own eyes.

It turns out that what was depicted in the temple... wasn't fake?

Tan Wenbin took out a camera from his backpack. It was a prize he won when he represented his brother Xiaoyuan in a fortune-telling and feng shui exchange meeting in Jinling.

After removing the anti-fall pad and waterproof cloth, Tan Wenbin raised his camera and started taking pictures.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The shutter keeps clicking, and the film has long been used up but it still keeps clicking.

Yin Meng kept taking deep breaths. While being deeply shocked, he couldn't help but wonder, is the Taoist temple of Emperor Fengdu also as magnificent?
Runsheng licked his lips: "Grandpa, where is the immortal..."

Under such circumstances, the fantasy of immortals deep in people's consciousness seems to be reflected in reality.

Even a person with the strongest will can't help but begin to waver, thinking that there really are immortals in this world and that there is indeed a way to become an immortal.

The colorful rays of light are gradually covering every emerald barrier, and a dreamlike wonder of the world is appearing. The dome above the head is brewing a dancing and endless dark color of colored glaze, as if a huge and graceful figure is gradually descending, as if a fairy is about to descend and lead everyone to ascend to heaven.

The sound of the breeze is like a stream flowing into the sea, first converging, then rippling, and finally circling.

Even if there was only one percent of belief in one's heart, it can be completely magnified at this moment. The strong longing and desire make everyone want to kneel down involuntarily and worship and kowtow together.

Now that I'm here, I might as well pay my respects... What if, by some chance, we can really ascend to heaven together?

Mist began to condense, and under the glow of the sunset glow, it formed layer upon layer like a sea of ​​clouds in a fairyland. Its staggered arrangement looked like a ladder to heaven.

The scene at the beginning was shocking enough, and now more and more new fairy scenes are appearing, which makes people even more excited.

Tan Wenbin put down the camera and faced the fairy ladder in the sea of ​​clouds with Yin Meng, Lin Shuyou and Runsheng.

Zhao Yi sometimes showed longing on his face and sometimes tried to shake his head to stay awake. The gap between life and death on his forehead was moving rapidly. Then he looked at the young man standing beside him unconsciously and found that the young man was still calm, as if he was not affected at all.

Zhao Yi cleared his throat and prepared to express his gratitude again: "Brother Zhuiyuan..."

Zhao Yi knew clearly that if he failed to trick Yu Miaomiao in, then he, Zhao Yi, would be the one to be sent in to be sacrificed.

If the mural matches, it is a miraculous prophecy; if it doesn’t match, it doesn’t matter, it is called a reasonable error.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you believe in becoming an immortal?"

Zhao Yi: "I... don't believe it~"

The last two words sound floating when you pronounce them.

He believed it a little, even if it was just a little bit.

But he could feel that the boy totally didn't believe it.

Zhao Yi was really curious. How did Mr. Li manage to face this situation?
As if he had sensed what Zhao Yi was thinking, Li Zhuiyuan said:

"How beautiful, how detailed, how realistic... If the people who designed this place had believed in immortality, they would not have been able to create such a wonderful scene."

It is magnificent, it is spectacular, it is fascinating, but without any personal feelings in it.

When Li Zhuiyuan first learned to paint from A-Li, he had this problem. His paintings showed all kinds of techniques, but no emotion.

Zhao Yi: "Then we..."

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head, looked at his palm, and said, "Since you don't believe in becoming an immortal, why don't you run away quickly."

The young man placed five Heart-Clearing Talismans in his hands, and a blood mist appeared in his palms.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Li Zhuiyuan threw a Qingxin Talisman on the forehead of each of Tan Wenbin and the others, even Zhao Yi beside him was not spared, and the gap between the gate of life and death was covered.

This is not an illusion, nor is it a psychedelic effect. It is purely the inner desires of a person being seduced out, confusing one's own mind, just like an ordinary person would be stunned and dazed when he suddenly sees a table full of money when he returns home.

The effect of the Heart Cleansing Talisman became apparent, and everyone's eyes became clear and they were breathing heavily.

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you want to be an immortal, stay here. If you want to be a human, follow me!"

Runsheng bent down and carried the boy on his back.

No one would choose to stay, they all ran along.

The crowd walked among the kneeling corpses, and this time, no one thought that these people kneeling here were funny or ridiculous.

Because they themselves had been attracted and addicted to it before, some temptations really cannot be resisted by reason.

In fact, I am not smarter or calmer than them.

If I were in their shoes, I would probably become like them.

Li Zhuiyuan was on Runsheng's back and saw a scholar standing in the distance.

The moment he left the tower, the controlling relationship between him and the scholar was ended.

Looking at the two huge bodies again, they were no longer moving. Obviously, when the rosy glow enveloped the tower, the black-robed man at the bottom of the tower also lost control of the outside world.

The scholar had gone through a great war, his clothes were torn and his body was broken, but he still maintained a sense of coldness and arrogance.

Some habits, really, you can never forget them until you die.

At this moment, the scholar suddenly moved. He took a step and walked towards the tower.

Li Zhuiyuan immediately turned around and looked at the tall tower behind him, and found that the glow on the tower had become darker and darker, and vaguely seemed to be stained with a layer of golden light.

Ascension was enabled, and the originally broken rules were repaired. As the residents of the tower, the scholars were drawn by the tower and naturally had to return to it.

Li Zhuiyuan had long suspected that this scholar himself was not very interested in becoming an immortal. He came here and reached the eleventh floor probably only because he was unable to resurrect his lover and could only rely on the theory of becoming an immortal, which he did not believe in at all, as a form of escape.

The funniest thing is that when the scholar knocked the big guy down with a book, his muscle memory actually shouted "A gentleman does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or demons."

The scholar walked slowly but quickly. In just a few blinks of an eye, he was back in front of the tower gate.

Just as he raised his leg to enter the door, he swung his hand backwards, and the wordless book in his hand flew backwards, heading in the direction where Li Zhuiyuan and others were fleeing.

Li Zhuiyuan: “Cute!”

Yin Meng understood, swung out the exorcism whip, rolled up the wordless book, and handed it to Li Zhuiyuan.

On the other side, the scholar had already entered the tower gate and disappeared.

Zhao Yi looked at the blank book in the boy's hand and couldn't help but shout, "How many relatives do you have in this tower?"

It’s no wonder that Zhao Yi is jealous, because this is really ridiculous.

This person is leaving and forgot to take something. Can the corpse take the initiative to throw the leftover things back to you?

Li Zhuiyuan put the wordless book into his bag and said, "He doesn't want to destroy the book."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi no longer cared about being jealous, and immediately urged Lin Shuyou, who was supporting him and running together, to put in more effort.

As soon as everyone ran out of the platform and came to the white imperial road, they heard a loud noise in the air behind them, followed by a dazzling flash of white light.

Everyone turned back subconsciously, and saw that the "hand stretched out by the goddess" had pierced the dome, and the white and shiny palm reached downwards.

If we only capture the scene at this moment, it is undoubtedly a goddess descending to earth to guide all living beings.

But if you look down a little longer, you will find that the goddess's hand begins to deform, stretching and stretching again, and it turns out to be white magma pouring down like a waterfall!
The emerald dome that was previously illuminated by the rosy glow and the graceful figure of the goddess were just the accumulation and flow of this strange magma.

The bursts of heavenly music were the air currents that expanded and squeezed due to the high temperature, and the fairy ladder in the sea of ​​clouds was the mist that rose after the impurities were melted.

Huge amounts of white magma fell vertically towards the tower.

At the top of the tower, the faceless man with his arms outstretched uttered a terrible wail: "No, no, no!"

It was not because he felt the terrifying and desperate heat, nor because he failed to ascend, but because he finally realized:

It turns out that there was no ascension at all!

The Faceless Man could accept the failure of ascension and could understand falling short at the last minute. When he felt that he had failed, he not only taught Li Zhuiyuan the technique suitable for scraping the fortune of the Big Bell, but also took the initiative to slowly fade away and chose to commit suicide and disappear.

After all, becoming an immortal is not that easy, and failure is normal.

But the scene before him told him clearly that here, from the very beginning, there was no such thing as becoming an immortal!

There is no possibility at all if there is no effort.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

The white magma swallowed up the top of the tower first. The faceless man laughed as he was burned:
"Ancestor, why did you lie to me? Ancestor, why did you lie to me? You lied to all of us!"

After covering the top floor, the lava entered the eleventh floor.

The scholar has returned here, and he is still lying on his side on the bed.

But this time, he seemed to know that the wordless book was no longer in his hand, so he supported his head with one hand, and the other hand was no longer holding the book, but placed on his thigh, looking carefree.

The magma first overflowed from the cracks, and soon broke through a series of holes. Even though the scholar's body was completely swallowed by the magma, he still did not move.

The tenth floor, the ninth floor, the eighth floor...

All the dead in Xuanmen sat in front of their desks in an orderly manner.

When they were alive, they were extremely powerful, and after death their bodies were filled with all kinds of weirdness.

But now, everything is melting in this white magma.

Perhaps everything is destined to return to dust, and this is just a delayed ending.

The majestic and mysterious tower continued to melt and collapse under the impact of magma.

The white magma penetrated every pore and began to flow down the purple chain.

The man in black robe raised his head and after seeing this scene, he started struggling madly again.

What he was waiting for was the fruit to be stolen by himself, the rules to disappear, and the tower to collapse, not the ending before his eyes.

The white magma flowed onto his body, and the remaining corpse gas on his body was quickly evaporated.

"Ahhhh!!!"

He let out a scream of pain.

Due to the rapid disappearance of his corpse qi, the black piece on the chessboard in front of him that he had condensed with his corpse qi also disappeared.

It turned out that I didn't win this game of chess.

After the white magma melted the wall, it began to flow in on a large scale. The man in black robe looked at the coffins of his family members who were killed and moved to the two side chambers. They were also swallowed by the magma and burned into nothingness.

The man in black robe stopped struggling.

He let the magma continue to penetrate his body and let his zombie body be slowly annihilated here.

At this moment, he finally understood why his ancestor had set up such a terrible ban in his tomb and why his ancestor had buried the book with him.

The restriction will become invalid by itself in due time, and then the descendants of the clan will be able to sense it and safely enter the tomb, see the book, and find this location.

"Haha, haha, hahahaha!"

The man in black robe laughed continuously from his throat.

He didn't believe that he could succeed in becoming an immortal, but he really didn't expect that the layout of his ancestors had nothing to do with the so-called becoming an immortal.

From the beginning, this was a complete scam.

It keeps attracting people in and letting them kill each other. All those who dream of becoming immortals are like consumables thrown into the bonfire, waiting for the big bell to be filled up and unable to bear the weight, leading to the final burning!

He finally understood why his ancestors did this.

His family had never produced a Dragon King in history, but there had always been people with outstanding talents, and the tenacity of family heritage was in no way inferior to that of a traditional Dragon King family.

It was him. Even though he was defeated by the man in green at the beginning, he was able to defeat him again and again. Every time he was defeated, he could still survive and make a comeback by luck.

Because his family has been constantly making merits.

Even the Dragon King families need their descendants to keep traveling across the river to maintain their status quo.

His family had made arrangements here by their ancestors in the early years, constantly attracting heretics who desired to become immortals but were not favored by the Heavenly Dao to come here and eliminate themselves, thus gaining merit.

After a long period of steady flow, when it is full today, there will be a big wave coming to eliminate all the troubles they have left behind.

This is also the reason why the ancestors set a forbidden time and let the tribesmen find this place through the book. The ancestors let the tribesmen come here to receive the last great merit.

As a result, he arrived early!
He personally killed the entire clan, and brought the entire clan with him, and they all came too early!
At this moment, the man in black robe felt that he was the biggest joke in the world.

In his mind, the words that the young man who had played chess with him before suddenly appeared:
"You are pitiful."

……

The white magma continued to pour down from top to bottom, and after completely melting the tower, it further spread to the surroundings.

The corpses kneeling on the platform were all swallowed up by the magma. After the magma submerged them, it naturally flowed to the low-lying areas of the platform.

Here, the two largest low-lying areas are the two kneeling pits.

Inside the pit, there were still many corpses that had not had time to crawl out earlier. Now, with the injection of magma, all traces of them were swallowed up.

It turns out that these two kneeling pits were used for pouring.

On the imperial road, seeing this horrific scene, Lin Shuyou swallowed hard.

This beautiful fairy palace turned into a destructive hell in an instant.

If Xiaoyuan hadn't woken them up earlier and told them to run, I would have been vaporized in there by now. Zhao Yi let out a long breath. He guessed that this would be the outcome, otherwise he wouldn't have kept saying that he owed Li a life.

But when this scene really happened before his eyes, he still felt deep despair and fear.

Zhao Yi: "What is the significance of this layout?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Some people have long been serving as the white gloves of heaven here."

Zhao Yi: "Did he succeed?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "His clan was exterminated."

At this moment, Tan Wenbin suddenly shouted in horror: "Look over there!"

Not only the top of the platform, but also the emerald barriers on both sides appeared white.

This means that all the jade in this secret realm will soon turn into terrifying white magma, which will completely engulf this place without leaving any trace!
No one dared to delay any longer. Even though they were all exhausted, they still had to run desperately to survive.

Magma continued to gush out on both sides, and each gush was like a big white, crystal-clear hand reaching out.

In this horrific scene, everyone was like tiny ants running for survival.

By the time everyone ran out of the Imperial Road, not only had most of the Imperial Road behind them melted and collapsed, but magma was also spreading in front of them.

Fortunately, this huge whirlpool of black water can still hold out for a while, but we can't delay any longer, otherwise it will boil even if it is not burned dry.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yin Meng, use the whip to lock everyone on Runsheng!"

Yin Meng did as she was told immediately. She wrapped one end of the exorcism whip around Runsheng's waist, and the rest of the whip around the wrists of other people.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Runsheng, open the valves fully, rush out of the vortex!"

When they came here previously, it took them a lot of time to pass through this black water whirlpool in batches. Now it was obviously too late.

Zhao Yi: "I never thought that the secret weapon I had kept from Runsheng would be used to escape."

Tan Wenbin: "Just tell me if it's worth it."

"Pfft!"

Everyone jumped into the black water, and then Runqi opened all the valves, pulling everyone forward to swim quickly.

Although Runsheng usually doesn't like to use his brain, he has a clear memory and he has never made a mistake in the formation positions that Xiaoyuan arranged for him.

Therefore, even though it was pitch black underwater and there was no visibility at all, since he had walked there once, he would return the same way this time.

After they swam through the stone gate, the open square as wide as Shichahai, where they used to cook and eat, had already been filled with black water. Below it was a Jade Academy, which was now overflowing with white light.

Obviously, the dark shadows of the "teachers and students" inside must have been burned to death, and the magma will soon overflow.

The temperature of the water is rising, bringing a burning sensation.

Earlier, everyone had come out of the puppet classroom, where a white light had appeared, penetrating the black water. It was obvious that magma had overflowed from there first.

A white light also appeared in the direction where Yu Miaomiao and A Yuan came out of the beast taming classroom.

Neither of these two doors can be opened.

Li Zhuiyuan rubbed Runsheng's neck with his palm, signaling Runsheng to swim in another direction.

That is the direction of the third classroom, the formation.

There is no white light there yet.

Runsheng understood and swam quickly over there.

After arriving there, everyone passed through the creeping gate, which blocked off the black water outside.

But everyone has no time to catch their breath, because all the emerald pillars here are changing color, and the magma will soon fill here.

Runsheng fell to his knees with a plop. He had been holding on until now, but now, the side effects of full valve opening could no longer be suppressed.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Lin Shuyou!"

Lin Shuyou: “Understood!”

Ah You immediately possessed a spirit body, and the boy came again and again.

This time, Lin Shuyou felt that when the boy came, he was a little weak.

However, the boy's vertical pupils only glanced at the terrifying temperature brewing in the jade, and he immediately knew that the final critical moment had arrived.

The boy reached out his hand without hesitation, took out the talisman needle from his backpack, and stuck it into himself!

In an instant, as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, the boy's vigor and vitality rose again.

He wanted to come over and hug Li Zhuiyuan first, but the young man pointed at Runsheng on the ground.

The boy immediately carried Runsheng on his back.

Zhao Yi walked forward like a weak willow in the wind. He was very exhausted and his body was very weak.

The boy glanced at Zhao Yi with his pupils raised.

For some reason, he had the urge to punch this sick guy to death.

But he had strong self-control after all, and without saying a word, he held Zhao Yi under his arm.

Seeing that the young man decided to go by himself, the boy said nothing more. He just freed up one hand to hold the trident and smashed the emerald pillar blocking the way in front of him.

The formation classroom was filled with densely packed pillars. The existence of these pillars seriously affected everyone's progress, but fortunately, the boy quickly cleared the way, and Li Zhuiyuan, Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin followed behind at a very fast speed.

A coffin was placed in the center with its lid open. Zhen Shaoan should have been lying here before.

The coffin was very high, and Li Zhuiyuan didn't even look at it and just ran over.

When Tan Wenbin passed by, he jumped up without hesitation and took a look inside. Seeing several crystal-plate books inside, he immediately reached out and took them out and put them into his bag.

As soon as he jumped off the coffin, white magma erupted. Tan Wenbin called his two godsons to help him carry his backpack to lighten his weight, and then he started running as fast as he could.

Fortunately, we finally caught up with the main force.

Li Zhuiyuan looked back at Tan Wenbin and said nothing.

Firstly, now was not the time to talk, and secondly, the boy knew that if he turned around and said that he shouldn’t have taken the risk to get the things in the coffin, Tan Wenbin would definitely respond: Well, this is all I can do for the team.

The White Crane Boy both led the way and carried people on his back. By the time they left the classroom and reached the corridor, the time limit had expired.

The talisman needle was used right from the start this time, and the time limit was limited.

It’s not that He shortened His working hours, but that He has been exhausted here.

Using his last bit of strength, the boy knelt down on one knee and placed Runsheng and Zhao Yi safely on the ground.

Afterwards, He didn't even have time to look at the young man again, and He immediately separated from his body and left.

Needless to say, Tan Wenbin immediately stepped forward to take over and started using the ghost-controlling technique.

The two godsons immediately became active and entered their godfather's body. Tan Wenbin's body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He first carried Runsheng on his back, then held Zhao Yi with his left arm and Lin Shuyou with his right arm, and continued running.

We have reached the corridor area. Probably affected by the eruption of white magma inside, the ground in the corridor began to tilt downward, and the emerald barriers on the left and right sides and above have turned milky white, with magma that could not be contained dripping down from time to time.

When running here, you must not only pay attention to your feet, but also pay attention to the dripping from above.

Zhao Yi witnessed the entire escape process. He subconsciously asked:
"Is this wave particularly dangerous, or is it always like this for you?"

Originally, Zhao Yi didn't need to participate in this wave. It was only when he realized that his heart was about to fail and he was about to die that he took the initiative to get involved.

Therefore, he was really curious now, whether it was because this wave was special, or whether the Lis had always been experiencing this kind of difficulty.

Tan Wenbin: "Last time, everyone was overdrawn and passed out, but luckily I met you."

Zhao Yi: "What do you mean by 'not bad'? I am also in danger, okay!"

Tan Wenbin: "If you have the energy to beep, come down and run by yourself!"

Zhao Yi shut up immediately.

The floor of the corridor became increasingly tilted, and the bottom was constantly rising.

But there was also good news, that is, the white magma in the emerald barrier flowed downwards first and touched the huge stone gate first.

This white magma was truly terrifying, and the stone gate quickly broke into pieces under its erosion.

The place that originally required an "invitation" stamp to enter will no longer require access control, but there is no need to enter here anymore.

After rushing through the stone gate, the effect of Tan Wenbin's ghost-controlling technique reached the critical point, but the white magma in the corridor behind him was accumulating and erupted most rapidly.

As a result, the surrounding area shook like an earthquake, and the snow on the peaks on both sides began to collapse.

In front of us are the stairs we came up.

Li Zhuiyuan: “Jump!”

Tan Wenbin used all his strength and jumped forward with the three people on him. Yin Meng immediately swung out the exorcism whip and tied up everyone including himself to ensure that they would not be separated by the subsequent earthquake and avalanche.

At the moment before everyone fell, the young man waved his right hand downwards, and a smooth ceramic ribbon appeared on the original steps, allowing everyone to take advantage of the falling momentum like a slide.

The terrifying scorching air and ice and snow intertwined with each other, and the whole world seemed to be spinning.

Li Zhuiyuan tried his best to use his energy and blood to continuously stimulate the ceramics to help everyone turn. The boy persisted for a long time. After he roughly realized that everyone had slid to a safe area, Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes.

He was too tired and needed to take a break, or even take a nap.

He didn't know how long he slept, but Li Zhuiyuan heard footsteps and the boy immediately opened his eyes.

His vision was all red, probably because of blood flowing from his eyes.

After blinking hard, the blood color faded, replaced by white.

This is snow, and I am buried in the snow.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

The snow on top is being dug away.

Li Zhuiyuan clenched his right hand slightly, ready to take action at any time.

He saw a pair of furry claws digging away the snow above him, revealing the face of a weasel.

The weasel straightened up, and its face changed, gradually turning into a human face.

When the weasel saw that Li Zhuiyuan had his eyes open, it began to salute him solemnly.

From a distance, Fat Jin's surprised voice came:
"Thanks, Lord Mu, I finally found them!"

……

Fat Brother Jin has rich experience in surviving in the wild, and because he had organized a search for people in the mountains not long ago, this time he was familiar with the process of calling people up to help.

Li Zhuiyuan and others were taken off the vehicle.

Many of the people who came to the rescue this time swore after they returned that they saw Prince Mu this time, and that Prince Mu followed their search and rescue team for several days.

He only appears in the morning, noon and evening, and can be seen from afar, but there is no doubt that it is Prince Mu.

At Li Zhuiyuan's request, Fat Jin Ge did not send the big guy to the hospital, but instead settled him in his own homestay.

……

After this wave ended, the sunshine in Lijiang became brighter.

Li Zhuiyuan sat on a chair in the corridor, basking in the sun.

His vision had returned somewhat, but he still had some headaches.

Yin Meng sat blankly across the yard, watching her poisonous insect flying around in front of her.

Both of her arms were covered with plaster. When she jumped and slid, she had to bear a lot of pressure in order to tie everyone up with a whip. When her left arm was broken, she switched to her right arm and continued.

After landing, she sent her insect out to fly and find someone.

However, it is unknown whether it was the insect that found Prince Mu or Prince Mu himself who searched for him by following the scent.

Anyway, when Yin Meng asked about the poisonous insect, its two tentacles shook rapidly, which meant that it attracted the weasel, absolutely!
Yin Meng, who couldn't use both of his arms temporarily, felt a little bored.

In the morning, she told Li Zhuiyuan that since everyone else was unconscious and she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well start extracting poison. She always felt insecure without the poison jars around her.

Li Zhuiyuan asked her how to do it if she couldn't use her hands?
She said she could use her feet.

Li Zhuiyuan praised her spirit and then rejected her proposal.

In the past, things always went wrong when extracting poison with my feet at home. Now, it is too dangerous to use my feet to extract poison in someone else's home.

Zhao Yi, with a bandage on his forehead and a cane, staggered over. When he saw Yin Meng, he waved to her and greeted her warmly:

"Good morning, Venus de Milo."

Yin Meng snorted at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi walked over to Li Zhuiyuan, made tea for the young man, and sat down.

In the other room, Sun Yan and Xu Ming were responsible for taking care of Runsheng and the others.

Even Zhao Yi felt that he and his men were increasingly becoming the extra-staff medical team of Li's team.

If I had known that they would suffer serious injuries time and time again, why would I have bothered to study their weaknesses in the past?

Li Zhuiyuan took the scented tea and took a sip.

Zhao Yi lifted up his clothes, revealing his chest. Tender skin had grown on the wound, and through the gaps one could see colorful stones inlaid inside.

Fat Brother Jin said that when he found Zhao Yi, he thought Zhao Yi was dead because he had no heartbeat.

Then Prince Mu found some stones and filled them in one by one, and miraculously, Zhao Yi's heartbeat resumed.

Cats have their own ways, mice have their own ways, and weasels can pee while standing.

Sometimes the answer to your puzzle may be in the hands of an unexpected person or even an animal.

Zhao Yi: "Don't mention it, it's a good thing you gave this weasel a title before entering the stone gate, and it's grateful for that.

Without it, even if we escaped from there, we might not be able to get down the mountain in one piece.

At least, I should be dead.”

Li Zhuiyuan: "You also gave it the title of official."

Zhao Yi: "Ah, yes, yes, we are lucky."

Li Zhuiyuan: “It’s not luck.”

Zhao Yi: "It's cause and effect. But you are so cold to everyone, but you took the initiative to be so nice to that weasel that day."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because when I saw it before entering the door, I had a premonition."

Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me more specifically. I can feel that you play more than me."

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and drank tea again.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "By the way, why didn't the black-robed man at the bottom of the tower send more corpse qi outside at the beginning? Why are you so stingy? Start with 30%, then add 10%. If he adds a little more, you may not be able to stop the scholar if you control him. Well, in the end, it's better to do big things with small considerations."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and put down his teacup. "His clone has its drawbacks. It has strong independence. In fact, he sent out 40% in the end, which is already the limit. If there is more... it is hard to say who is the real body. He himself may become a clone."

Zhao Yi: "Oh, so there is still this problem. No wonder. Oh, this wave is really dangerous. I don't know how much merit I can get from it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Now that your heart problem has been solved, what else do you want?"

Zhao Yi: "No, you don't look forward to it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I have learned a lot in this wave. When I return, I will slowly digest it."

Zhao Yi understood that this was probably the reason why the young man was able to share a large amount of merit with his subordinates.

“Alas.” Young Master Zhao sighed, “Thinking about the black-robed man and his family, they are really pitiful. Their ancestors were so powerful that they were able to set up such a grand plan in the secret realm. They should have been eating the food of the Heavenly Dao Emperor, but they ended up destroying their own clan. In the end, they didn’t get anything. It was a waste of such a great merit.”

"Sit down for a while. I'll go wash my face."

"Go ahead. The sun is nice today. It's a good time for me to bask in the sun."

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and walked into the room, turned on the faucet and filled a basin with water. Then he buried his entire face in the basin and gently rubbed the sides of his face with his hands.

When the boy raised his head, half of the thin human face skin had been peeled off.

Qingtan, March forest.

This is the location of his ancestral tomb that the Faceless Man told him.

In fact, what Zhao Yi said just now was not quite accurate.

That family may not have gained nothing.

I have to take some time to find out the current location of this place, and then go to the ancestral grave to take a look.

Logically speaking, there should still be a faceless body lying in that cemetery.

It would be fine if it was still there, but if it was gone, it would mean that the ancestor who had planned the ascension... would be the only real beneficiary.

Since he could deceive and sacrifice others to the Heavenly Dao in exchange for merit, why couldn't he sacrifice his own descendants as well? The man in black robe said that he could enter the ancestral tomb in advance because he was "dead". Was it really just luck?

Looking at the half face in his hand, Li Zhuiyuan had a guess in his mind:
Could he be the one who truly wants to ascend to become an immortal?
