Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 252

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

Zhen Yue was lying in a ditch, his chest heaving violently.

The Zhen family is good at studying formation techniques, but they are essentially formation masters, so their relative physical weakness is inevitable.

The fat man had lost all his skin, but he was still able to run so far in one breath. By the time Zhen Yue ran here, he was already exhausted.

Fortunately, the scary Taoist priest did not catch up with them again.

After gasping for a while, Zhen Yue swallowed hard, got up, and knelt down in the direction he wanted to escape.

Hold the incense in both hands, kowtow three times, and finally put your forehead to the ground while inserting the incense into the gap next to it.

"Thank you for your help, dear!"

Yes, in Zhen Yue's opinion, the person who rescued him earlier was his elder, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the other party used the Giant Eye Soul Binding Formation.

"I'm not your elder."

Zhen Yue looked up, following the sudden voice, and then he saw the young man standing on the ditch.

At first glance, it was a little blurry, but at second glance, with the help of starlight, he could sense a sense of familiarity.

His brain worked quickly to recall who the boy was.

Back then in Lijiang, a group of people gathered to besiege the B&B. He, Zhen Lang, and Zhen Xin also participated. At that time, they were full of praise for the B&B's defensive formation.

"It's you... you?"

"Well, it's me."

"Why do you want to save me?"

Suddenly, Zhen Yue's expression froze, because he figured out one thing. Since the other party was also a person who traveled around the world with a lamp, and appeared there at this moment, didn't it mean that there was something fishy about what happened to his team and Fatty's team tonight?

In any case, neither team should have encountered such a terrifying existence and been almost wiped out as soon as they entered this wave.

As if he had guessed what Zhen Yue was thinking, Li Zhuiyuan said frankly:
"Yes, I arranged it."

"you……"

Zhen Yue straightened his neck, wanting to get angry, but found that he had no anger at all.

In this matter, he couldn't blame the other party's behavior. If conditions permitted, he would do the same thing.

The most important thing is that he had done it before. At that time, the three of them participated in breaking the formation against Lijiang B&B. If the time had not been up and the formation was indeed solid and difficult to break, they would have rushed in, overwhelmed the boy's team and snatched the broken jade in his hand.

Regardless of the tradition of lighting lanterns and traveling around the world, or the fact that he was the first to do it, Zhen Yue had no reason to be angry at the boy's behavior tonight. What's more, the boy had just saved him, so it was considered repaying kindness with kindness.

Zhen Yue: "Thank you..."

Li Zhuiyuan: “You’re welcome.”

Zhen Yue: "I will light the lamp for the second time when I return and admit defeat. From then on, I will not care about worldly affairs and will stay at home to study formations and teach the next generation."

Li Zhuiyuan took out a pen and paper from his bag. The zipper of the small pocket was not closed properly, so he zipped it back.

This small pocket contains various condiments. When Zhao Yi separated from him earlier, he specially took a bag of salt from here.

Li Zhuiyuan sat down, put the notebook on his knees, and wrote quickly. As he wrote, he asked:
"The formation runs seven changes, do you understand?"

Zhen Yue was stunned for a moment. The seven changes of the Zhen family's formation were the seven basic principles of the Zhen family's formation skills, and were the Zhen family's secret. Was the other party trying to get his Zhen family's unique skills?
Is it extortion, blackmail, or demanding a favor?

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhen Yue cleared his throat and continued to explain, "Performing seven transformations, divided into heaven transformation, earth transformation, and magic transformation..."

Li Zhuiyuan paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, then continued writing.

He was not trying to extort the Zhen family's unique skills, he was simply asking whether Zhen Yue understood this aspect. If he did, he could skip this paragraph and continue writing the following, thus saving time.

After all, after Zhen Shaoan's engraving board was sorted out, it was still a bit redundant. He would have to write at least an entire notebook to finish it all, and his hands would be sore.

"Do you understand the twelve strategies for harmonizing the formations?"

"The formation key harmonizes the twelve strategies, and is to study the formation and..."

Li Zhuiyuan kept asking questions, Zhen Yue kept answering, and then Li Zhuiyuan kept skipping steps.

Zhen Yue didn't know what Li Zhuiyuan was doing. He thought the boy was recording his answers.

In fact, if he deliberately pretended to be stupid and resisted, Li Zhuiyuan might have stopped writing.

The young man doesn't owe him anything, so naturally he won't be spoiled. Opportunity is all about fate.

Gradually, as time went on, Zhen Yue began to seem powerless and unable to answer the boy's questions.

He continued to explain sincerely:

"I do not know about this."

"There is no record of this in the family books."

"Can these two be related?"

"How can it still be like this?"

Zhen Shaoan had been a teacher for such a long time at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and what he had researched and studied had already surpassed the Zhen family's own tradition.

Moreover, we must take into account the fact that family sects do not generally continue to develop and grow over time. Most of them begin to decline after reaching a certain peak.

Zhen Yue stammered a few times, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "What are you doing?"

I couldn't even answer the question, but the other person was still writing.

After finishing writing, Li Zhuiyuan threw the notebook down, put the pen cap back on, and rubbed his wrist.

Zhen Yue took the notebook and opened it. There were lines and words on it. Although the words were sloppy, they looked very beautiful. The lines had a clear rhythm and carried their own artistic conception.

No, including these words, in fact, when viewed as a whole, they are also part of the pattern. The artistic conception and the mystery of the formation are also hidden in it. This is the real "subtle meaning".

Zhen Yue's eyes widened as he looked at it. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for him to imagine that this masterpiece was written in one go by this young man while sitting on the ditch.

Many rare scrolls and secret manuals use this method, making simple copying meaningless. Li Zhuiyuan has seen it many times and naturally learned it. Of course, this also puts higher demands on the viewers.

Zhen Yue closed the book. He didn't read it all at first, but when he read to the end, he finally realized that this was actually the sequel to the Zhen family's route. He asked in disbelief:

"Why are you doing this?"

"Your ancestor was a man named Zhen Shaoan, who died in a place because of the development of the family. I got his things and then passed them on to your Zhen family, which can be regarded as ending this karma with him."

"Do you have any history with my ancestor?"

"Have a grudge."

Zhen Yue's mouth twitched.

"Okay, tell me which Taoist temple you were supposed to go to."

"I...I will handle it myself, don't worry."

"I am worried because I doubt your current ability."

Zhen Yue told the location of the Taoist temple and reminded him, "The Taoist temple has just changed its formation recently, you have to pay attention... Forget it, I said too much, it will definitely not be a difficult task for you."

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and patted the dust off his pants: "Okay, I'm leaving, you can leave too."

Zhen Yue: "May I ask your name?"

Afraid that Li Zhuiyuan might misunderstand, Zhen Yue hurriedly said, "In the arena of competition, the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. I have absolutely no intention of revenge on the shore. If you pass this book to me and continue the future of our Zhen family, our Zhen family will build a shrine for you and honor you as a benefactor."

"No need."

"Please don't refuse. This is a gift from my Zhen family."

"I don't appreciate this kind of thought."

“Oh, then… then…”

Li Zhuiyuan waved his hand and walked away.

Zhen Yue put the notebook in his arms, bowed seriously in the direction where the young man left, then looked up at the night sky and sighed silently.

He knew very well that even if he obtained the scroll left by his ancestor, it would be a terrifying thing for him to master it in a short period of time.

What's the point of competing with such a person on the river?

Turning around, I headed towards home, with scattered shadows under the starlight.

When we lit the lamp and left home, we traveled together as a group, with endless longings. But now, I have to embark on the journey home alone.

This is not an isolated case, but the fate of the vast majority of lamplighters in every generation.

Li Zhuiyuan had not walked far when he saw Zhao Yi standing there waiting for him. He was panting and sweating on his forehead. He was not faking it. He really ran here at full speed with all his might.

Zhao Yi said dissatisfiedly: "I told you to wait until I deal with the fat guy first and then come with you to find him. The fat guy can run away, but he can't."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's okay, save some time."

Zhao Yi: "What if he suddenly attacks you and wants to fight you? You don't practice martial arts."

Li Zhuiyuan: "A formation master versus a magician, what accidents can happen to me?"

Zhao Yi: "Don't let me hear the news that you died in an accident like this one day. I will jump out of bed with joy."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then you'd better not believe those rumors and explore the secrets behind the unexpected appearance. Maybe you will find a great opportunity."

Zhao Yi: "I won't go to a place where you will die."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You didn't kill the fat guy."

Zhao Yi: "No, that fat guy is interesting. Is the Zhen family going to admit defeat by lighting the lamp for the second time?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Zhao Yi: "But I think that fat guy will come back again."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Indeed.”

Zhao Yi: "Without these people, the martial arts world would be less lively and interesting. Even though we know there are some risks, letting them live will give us more expectations. That's why I didn't kill him."

Li Zhuiyuan: “So much nonsense.”

Zhao Yi: "You have to respect the changes in my psychological activities."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I already knew you wouldn't kill him, especially in front of me. If you kill that fat guy, it's like reminding me that I should kill you."

Zhao Yi: "The surname is Li!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay, let's level those two Taoist temples before daybreak, and let me see your team's current strength."

Zhao Yi: "The Liang sisters' strength will not disappoint you. After all, I have put myself into this."

Li Zhuiyuan: "This isn't the first time you've been a widower."

Zhao Yi bent down and motioned for the boy to come up.

Li Zhuiyuan climbed onto Zhao Yi's back and frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

"It smells like sweat."

"You don't even dislike Runsheng, but you dislike me instead."

"I'm used to the smell of Runsheng."

“I use scented powder.”

“So after you sweat, it smells worse.”

Zhao Yi took a step forward, using his body skills to move quickly.

"I've asked Sun Yan to notify them to attack a Taoist temple first, but without the two of us, they may not be able to break the formation."

When he really arrived at the place, Zhao Yi was slapped in the face by what he had said.

Because the formation of the Taoist temple had been broken, the sound of fighting could be heard from inside.

The door of the Taoist temple collapsed in half, with several deep dents. Upon closer inspection, one could see the outline of shovel marks.

Zhao Yi: "What do you feed your Runsheng?"

Obviously, this formation was broken by Runsheng with the Yellow River Shovel.

Last time in Lijiang, Runsheng could only possess this power briefly after fully opening his valve. Zhao Yi certainly didn't believe that Runsheng would fully open his valve and then lie down.

Li Zhuiyuan: “I have indeed been eating a little better recently.”

The main reason was that the man under the peach forest was in a good mood some time ago, and he used the evil spirit in his body to let Runsheng soak it.

Zhao Yi: "This shouldn't be the case. I've walked three waves, and you've only walked once. Why is your one wave equivalent to my three waves?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “The difficulty level is different, and the question types are also different.”

Last time, he even came into contact with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but Zhao Yi was wandering around in circles in some mountain.

Even this wave was a rest period given by Heaven to reduce the difficulty for himself, but he met Zhao Yi in this wave.

Zhao Yi: "Can heaven be partial?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I can give you this kind of love."

Zhao Yi raised his hand and waved towards the sky: "I'm just kidding, please don't take it seriously."

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the Taoist temple, and Zhao Yi followed closely behind him.

There were corpses everywhere on the ground, but there was hardly a complete one to be found. This was very consistent with Runsheng's painting style, and the Liang sisters must have been deliberately fighting for this, and their attacks were particularly heavy.

In fact, these Taoist temples still claim to be righteous on the surface. For temples like Shizhuo Zhao, it is not uncommon to transfer evil energy in the name of raising orphans and widows. It is a common practice.

But this kind of thing cannot be exposed to the light, much less put on the scale. Once it is weighed, you will be eliminated and it will be your own fault.

People at the level of Fengdu Emperor are responsible for big cause and effect, while this kind of Taoist temple is about small cause and effect. People on the river lead the waves in the river. If you can withstand it, you can naturally continue to exist and wait for the next disaster. If you can't withstand it, then "those who do evil will surely die."

This Taoist temple obviously cannot afford it.

The fight was coming to an end. The first person to see it was Sun Yan. She stood there, and a group of snakes, insects, rats and ants followed her command and found those who wanted to hide one by one.

Apart from this, she didn't need to do anything else because the villains here were not enough for the three people before her to kill.

Runsheng and the Liang sisters were all covered in blood, as if they had just taken a plasma bath.

At this moment, the three men had already reached the last building. Some were making a final desperate resistance, some were crying and begging for mercy, and some were righteously saying that "the law of heaven is visible" and so on.

Runsheng was too lazy to listen to their nonsense, and just kept smashing the Taoist priests in front of him with a shovel.

The Liang sisters, one holding a soft sword and the other holding a dagger, took turns to provide cover, and their killing efficiency was no less than Runsheng's.

Li Zhuiyuan also agreed with what Zhao Yi said, that strength was the weakest point of the two sisters, because the cooperation between the two sisters had its own formation rules, and they not only cooperated in martial arts, but could also form formations and techniques in an instant.

If you cannot kill this kind of opponent right from the start, or suppress them forcefully throughout the whole process, once they become anxious, they will be able to devour you in endless ways.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You deserve to be called a son-in-law."

Zhao Yi lit up a cigarette, took a deep breath and blew out smoke rings, saying: "Mr. Li, you are really getting more and more shameless."

Li Zhuiyuan touched his face and replied, "Thank you."

Zhao Yi: "I'm afraid that old lady in your family has already picked out a lot of names for your future children, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you have any suggestions? I can help you convey them."

Zhao Yi: “…”

Zhao Yi originally wanted to tease him again, saying that if you have fewer children in the future, there might not be enough to inherit those surnames.

Forget about it. That old lady is really too scary. If she knew that I was making insinuations about this matter, she would probably be so angry that she would find an excuse to come to Jiujiang in person.

"boom."

The last old man with white hair and a youthful face should be the temple master, and he died the most heroically.

Runsheng's shovel hit his head, and the Liang sisters stabbed him in the chest. Everyone was competing for the last head, and the master of the temple was directly furious.

At this moment, there was a clear gap in the team's strength levels.

The tough bones that the three members of the Zhen family and the fat man's gang wanted to avoid were not enough to chew for Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi.

Moreover, neither side actually tried their best. Not only did not all the personnel show up, but the leaders of both sides also did not leave.

Runsheng shook his head, shook off the blood, and revealed his face.

He laughed happily because he enjoyed the kill.

After the deadly evil spirit was completely aroused, Runsheng did control it, but it was a kind of control that could not be shown on a normal day, and would be completely exposed when he really took action.

He was not opposed to this change. After all, when facing a life-and-death battle, one must have this kind of energy.

Liang Yan was squeezing her hair while the other was squeezing her clothes.

Zhao Yi dropped his cigarette butt and ran over to help, helping his elder sister here and his younger sister there, trying to make sure everyone gets the best treatment.

Li Zhuiyuan set up a simple formation, creating a fireball that would wander around. When he left, he also set up an isolation formation at the door.

It won’t be long before this Taoist temple will be burned down and turned into fertilizer in the mountains.

The next Taoist temple is not big and has a small population, which generally means that the average Taoist level per person is higher.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Zhao Yi and said, "You go ahead."

Zhao Yi: "Do I need an assessment too?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Zhao Yi whispered, "Give me some face, I can definitely break this formation, then you can break it."

"it is good."

Li Zhuiyuan stepped forward, a blood mist appeared on the palm of his right hand, and a battle flag appeared. The young man held the battle flag and waved it gently, and a small gate appeared from the shade of green trees.

Zhao Yi stretched his muscles to warm up, then kicked the door open and rushed in.

He moved very quickly, as if he was doing it on purpose. When Li Zhuiyuan entered, he saw the bodies of the two young Taoists lying on the steps.

The last Taoist priest had a face like dry bark and was obviously old. His condition was very abnormal. It was obvious that he was using some inhuman secret method to prolong his life.

Zhao Yi engaged him in a fight, and the two fought fiercely.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Zhao Yi did this on purpose.

The two small characters before were not worth mentioning, so let’s deal with them quickly. This old guy has some strength, so let’s fight him for a while so that we can see more.

When it comes to the cooperation between the two teams, no matter how strong the Liang sisters are, they are secondary. What Li Zhuiyuan values ​​is Zhao Yi's ability.

The same goes for Lin Shuyou. Even though he hated Zhao Yi to bits, his first reaction after meeting them was to pave the way for future cooperation.

After successfully transferring himself to the gap between life and death with the merit of walking on the river, Zhao Yi's strength can be said to have increased tremendously. The difference between a genius and an ordinary person is that ordinary people have limited energy and can only study one thing in their lifetime, while a genius can study several things at the same time.

Zhao Yi did not use any weapons, he fought purely with his bare hands against the old Taoist priest who was holding a long sword. His palms were covered with a layer of water, and every time they came into contact with the opponent's weapon, he was able to relieve, transfer, and control the force.

As the fight went on, the old Taoist priest began to lose his strength, and dense age spots appeared on his body. When the age spots gathered to a certain extent, they turned into corpse spots.

Shadows of young children kept appearing on the old Taoist priest's body. These were the supplements that he had not yet fully digested.

The old Taoist knew that he couldn't continue fighting like this as his body couldn't withstand long periods of torture. However, no matter whether he used steps, talismans or magic, the young man in front of him could easily resolve them, forcing him to engage in this most primitive fight.

Zhao Yi is sure to win, and he will win with ease.

Runsheng felt a little emotional as he watched the weak and frail Young Master Zhao fight so vigorously now.

This made him think about how strong his Xiaoyuan would be after he grew up and practiced martial arts. He was afraid that by then, he would no longer need him to protect him.

Liang Yan took the initiative to approach Li Zhuiyuan and asked, "You haven't practiced martial arts yet?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Liang Li followed and asked, "Since you're already on the river, why don't you practice martial arts?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It will damage your health."

Liang Yan: "If that's the case, then why are you in such a hurry to light the lamp and walk across the river?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “God knows.”

Liang Li: "Aren't you in a hurry? You still care that practicing martial arts in advance will limit your future development. If I were you, I would do whatever it takes to win the position of Dragon King."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because in my opinion, Dragon King is just a starting point for the next stage, not the future."

The two sisters were silent.

The same words said by different people will have different effects on the audience. From Zhao Yi's attitude towards the boy, they knew very well that the boy was extraordinary, but they did not expect that he would have such a spirit.

Liang Yan covered her mouth and smiled, "I heard that you are already engaged?"

Li Zhuiyuan did not answer this question. He was not engaged, but he did not want to answer no.

Liang Li: "Have you ever considered taking a concubine?"

In the distance, Zhao Yi, who was fighting, couldn't help but curse:
"You two really don't know how to write the word death!"

The old Taoist priest who was fighting with him turned pale when he heard this. This young man who had already put him under great pressure could actually chat at this moment!

Liang Yan: "You don't want to marry into the family, so one of us sisters will have to be left. It would be better for the remaining one to become someone else's concubine."

Zhao Yi: "Hahaha, I'm afraid your elders wouldn't dare to agree!"

Liang Li: "My family elders are very open-minded. Didn't they stop us from having sex with you?"

Zhao Yi: "You misunderstood. When I said I dare not, I really meant it."

Liang Yan: "Just concentrate on your fight, it won't end after taking so long."

Liang Li: "Still empty."

Zhao Yi laughed in anger, and turned to Li Zhuiyuan and shouted, "Let me do you a good job. Lend me the copper coin sword!"

Li Zhuiyuan spread out his right hand, the copper coin slipped into his palm, and he pointed his left index finger at the copper coin and threw it forward.

Copper coins flew out rapidly and joined together in the air to form a sword covered with thick copper rust.

Zhao Yi rolled over and caught the sword.

In an instant, the sound of sword rang out.

Zhao Yi had borrowed this sword from Li Zhuiyuan to play with it before, but there was no such noise, because Zhao Yi was really weak at that time.

Now, he can fight normally. As a descendant of the Zhao family, he naturally responds to Zhao Wuyang's sword.

The copper coin sword swept across, and with a crisp sound, the long sword in the old Taoist's hand broke.

Zhao Yi lifted the old Taoist's robe and long beard again, and they were all shredded, revealing a rotten body full of holes.

Finally, Zhao Yi rose into the air and stabbed downwards.

The old Taoist priest resisted desperately, but the moment he went astray, everything around him was filled with evil spirit, and the copper coin sword was his nemesis.

In a flash, all obstacles were broken, and the copper coin sword pierced into the old Taoist's forehead.

Zhao Yi slapped the coin, causing it to vibrate and the old Taoist priest's body to tremble. His soul and the unabsorbed resentment in his body all dissipated completely.

After doing all this, Zhao Yi took out the copper coin sword, wiped the blood off it, and said regretfully:

"This sword must belong to the Zhao family."

As he spoke, Zhao Yi deliberately stole glances at the young man, hoping that he could understand that a gentleman should help others achieve their goals.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Since you have taken my sword, I can only go to your Jiujiang Zhao family treasury..."

"Buzz!"

Zhao Yi clapped his palms, and the copper coin sword broke into copper coins and fell back into Li Zhuiyuan's hands.

He knew that this young man's attainment in formations was unimaginably high, and the formations in his own treasury probably couldn't stop this guy.

Li Zhuiyuan put away the copper coin and said to Zhao Yi, "You'd better keep it to yourself."

Zhao Yi: "No, it's just that this old guy can't stand a fight."

Li Zhuiyuan set about setting up a formation to eliminate all traces here.

When everyone finished all their activities for the night, it was already dawn.

Sun Yan continued to stay in the mountains and monitor Shen Huaiyang.

Zhao Yifei followed Li Zhuiyuan to the guesthouse, and Li Zhuiyuan agreed.

After waking up, Lin Shuyou took a shower on the bed in the guesthouse.

The aftereffects of the acupuncture that night have almost recovered. In another day, I will be able to restore my body to its peak condition.

While wiping his body, Lin Shuyou said to himself: "Boy, you are already inside me, why do you still need to insert the needle?"

Boy: "The Evil Breaking Talisman has a natural stimulating effect on divine power. The person who designed this talisman is no ordinary person."

Lin Shuyou: “Oh?”

Boy: "When I inserted the needle for the first time, I felt that this talisman was not aimed at evil spirits, or rather, evil spirits were only affected by it. I even suspect that the real purpose of this talisman is to admonish and drive the gods."

Lin Shuyou: “Oh.”

Boy: "Even if it is the Dragon King family, they would not actively oppose beings like us, and they should not leave behind this kind of talisman paper. Where did that person learn this talisman paper from?"

Lin Shuyou: "It's no use telling you, you definitely haven't heard of him."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Shuyou put on his shorts and went to open the door.

The moment his hand touched the door handle, his eyes bulged.

There was someone outside the door, but the boy could not sense that person's breath.

Lin Shuyou did not open the door.

But the door handle was turned from the outside, and he, a grown man sleeping in a guesthouse, was too lazy to lock the door.

Zhao Yi pushed the door open and walked in, holding fried dough sticks and steamed buns in his left hand and kimchi and soy milk in his right hand.

"It's you!"

"Yes, it's me. Did you miss me?"

Zhao Yi threw breakfast onto the coffee table and pounced directly on Lin Shuyou, and they both fell onto the bed.

Lin Shuyou was resisting, but Zhao Yi was no longer as weak as before. Unless Ah You could become a spirit spirit, he really couldn't beat Zhao Yi at this moment in terms of physical strength.

Ayou's eyes were gradually condensing into vertical pupils.

"Come on, you are possessed. It's a good opportunity for me to tell everyone that you liked..."

The spirit possession failed.

Ayou was unwillingly pressed down on the bed by Zhao Yi.

"You can, do you feel good about beating up my people?"

"Cool!"

"Will you dare to do it again next time?"

"Beat him to death next time!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yi got off Lin Shuyou, sat down on the bed, and sighed:
"It seems that Binbin's health is really bad, and he may not live long."

Lin Shuyou: “…”

Zhao Yi: "No wonder you can become so tough, alas."

Lin Shuyou: "Three-eyed boy, you are such a beast!"

Zhao Yi: "You said, your brother Bin is so good to you. If it weren't for his mediation and recommendation, you wouldn't be where you are today. But you..."

"Ah, let's die together!"

Lin Shuyou roared angrily, rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Yi's neck, and threw him off the bed to the floor. The two of them started fighting again.

Outside the door, Liang Yan and Liang Li listened to the noise inside and looked at each other.

Liang Yan: "Just marry me."

Liang Li: "You are my elder sister, so I will give you the chance."

Li Zhuiyuan asked Runsheng to take the trouble to go back to the hospital and update Tan Wenbin on what happened last night.

After he returned to his room, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

I didn’t feel tired last night, I could even say I felt very relaxed, but I still need to make up for the energy I need, after all, there is a tough battle ahead.

The doorknob was turned and the door was locked.

After a while, Li Zhuiyuan, who was lying on the bed, turned his head and looked towards the window.

A figure appeared outside the window, which was also locked, but he removed it.

Sometimes you have to admire Zhao Yi's energy today. Maybe it's because he was a "rickety patient" for too long. Now Zhao Yi is as lively as a monkey.

Zhao Yi: "You lock the door and windows when you sleep. Do you feel so insecure?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "You are bullying Ah You again."

Zhao Yi: "I didn't bully him. I have a good relationship with him. We were just having fun."

When they were in Lijiang, it was basically Lin Shuyou who was responsible for taking care of Zhao Yi. In Zhao Yi's opinion, Ayou was the only honest person in the entire team of teenagers.

Following Ayou, he felt at ease. At least when they encountered danger, Ayou would instinctively pull him to run together.

"Um, did you give the things to that person from the Zhen family?"

"Ah."

"You said you lost it in the basement."

"I didn't bring it with me. I wrote it now."

Zhao Yi took out an exquisite fountain pen from his pocket and said, "Will you trouble me again?"

"Tired, sleep."

"Why are you tired? I felt it when you were setting up and breaking the formation tonight. Your mental strength is so strong that I even suspect you have secretly eaten the immortal elixir Buddha's marrow!"

"After the matter is over, we will distribute according to work."

"Okay." Zhao Yi went to take a shower.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You want to sleep here?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes, it saves us from having to book another room, what a waste."

"Brother Binbin's room is empty."

"I've been there. There was a person in the freezer in his room. I quickly closed the door, fearing that the cold air would leak out and the meat inside would rot!"

……

Tan Wenbin has had a very relaxing time these days.

Every day in the hospital, the most important thing is to chat with Chen Jing.

We talked about all the utilitarian and purposeful things on the first night, and from then on we just treated each other as friends.

This child has a special temperament that is very comfortable and can heal people, just like Brother Xiaoyuan when he used to perform.

Chen Jing also liked Tan Wenbin very much and was happy to hang around him after taking care of his grandparents, even though he had caught a cold from the cold.

Grandpa's condition suddenly worsened today.

Tan Wenbin was sure that it was not Shen Huaiyang who did it. Shen Huaiyang had been under Sun Yan's surveillance. He was injured and had not left the Taoist temple for the past two days.

All I can say is that this is the condition of the old man. He is in a state of distress for a long time, and then suddenly accelerates without noticing.

The doctor has already shaken his head. At this point, there is nothing the hospital can do.

Chen Jing accepted the reality and sat beside his grandfather's bed, waiting for him to close his eyes for the last time.

Grandma didn't cry or make a fuss. She leaned sideways and accompanied her husband on his last journey.

Tan Wenbin put a few more sealing talismans on his wheelchair to seal out the coldness on his body, and then Yin Meng pushed him to the door of the ward and accompanied him quietly.

Although we have only been together for a short time, I can feel that this family of old and young are all very good people.

Yesterday, when the grandfather was still able to speak, he specially met his grandson's new friend and encouraged Tan Wenbin to bravely fight the disease. After all, he is still young and has a long life to go.

The kimchi made by grandma was also very delicious. She gave a lot of it to Tan Wenbin. Yesterday, she even borrowed the stove from the staff quarters and cooked loaches. She asked Chen Jing to send a bowl of it to Tan Wenbin, saying that it would help Tan Wenbin to replenish his body.

Judging from his experience, Tan Wenbin is already a veteran, but he was still moved by the simplicity and purity of the two old men.

In fact, from a side view, Chen Jing, who has half-demon blood, should have a violent temperament. He should not have the quiet and calm personality he has now.

So, it was after living with two elderly people since childhood that my heart was warmed.

Tan Wenbin suspected that this was probably one of the reasons why Shen Huaiyang later found an excuse to take Chen Jing away from the two old people and bring him into the temple.

In his eyes, Chen Jing was almost ruined by the two old people.

But Shen Huaiyang also hoped to instill the bond between father and son, master and apprentice deeply in Chen Jing's heart, so he could not force the two old people, at least not in front of the child.

My grandfather has passed the last stage of life, and the deathly aura on his body is becoming more and more intense. He has a kind face, and he looks at his grandson, then at his wife, waiting to close his eyes for the last time.

Although his life was not perfect and there were many regrets, he was content and felt sweet in his heart when he left.

But at this moment, as he was about to die, some special images began to appear in his mind.

These images seemed strange and unfamiliar to him, yet they also gave him a sense of certainty that they had really happened.

He saw himself lying on the bed. No matter how he struggled, he could not wake up and could not open his eyes. In his ears, he could hear the screams and curses coming from his daughter in the bed in the next room, as if she was being humiliated.

He saw his daughter's belly getting bigger and asked her who she was, but she had no idea. He was so angry that he went to the police station to report the case. But when he opened the door, he saw a Taoist priest standing at the door.

He saw his daughter giving birth while he and his wife were tied up beside her. They watched the Taoist giving his daughter a blood transfusion. His daughter gave birth in despair and then died.

But the problem is that in his original memory, things were not like this.

Their daughter and the Taoist priest were in love with each other. They did not agree at first, but they could not resist their daughter's persuasion. In addition, the Taoist priest practiced medicine and saved lives in the village and had a good reputation. They thought that although the future life would not be easy if they married the Taoist priest, he was still a good man, so they both agreed.

When the daughter's belly was bulging, the Taoist often sent them money and food, and promised them that after his master passed away, he would take his daughter and the baby in the belly to live in the Taoist temple, and lead a quiet and secluded life.

On the night his daughter died during childbirth, the Taoist cried bitterly and was extremely sad. It was the two elders who persuaded the Taoist, saying that this was fate, this was fate, that the dead could not be resurrected, and that they could only take good care of the child.

Such a person, but I and my wife have always been so good to him and treated him as a real son. He always comes at night when the children are asleep, and I and my wife wait for him, fearing that he would be hungry and cook for him!

Even when he proposed to bring the child back to the temple, the old couple felt relieved. The child had always missed his father and now he could finally be with him.

This beast, this beast, this beast!
On the hospital bed, my grandfather's body began to twitch and he struggled like mad.

His illness has made him unable to speak, but his eyes are filled with anger!
"What's wrong with you, old man?"

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you, Grandpa..." Chen Jing turned his head and looked at Tan Wenbin, "Brother Binbin, do you know what's wrong with my grandpa?"

Tan Wenbin remained silent. He knew it, but he felt that the truth was too cruel for this child.

No one can accept that all the good things about themselves come from the falsehood created by the modified memories of the people around them.

"Do you want to know?"

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the ward.

In the past few days, Li Zhuiyuan did not come here to contact Chen Jing, because he really did not like this young man, especially when he smiled.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Tan Wenbin and said, "You don't have to worry about it. You can give him the right to choose."

Tan Wenbin nodded: "Yeah."

Everyone has the right to choose to see the truth about themselves. Of course, doing so has another benefit, which is that it will not cause oneself and others to bear the so-called moral burden.

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to his grandmother, took out a talisman for clearing the mind, and stuck it on her forehead. The old lady immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Then, Li Zhuiyuan walked up to Chen Jing, put his right index finger on Chen Jing's forehead, and covered his grandfather's forehead with his other hand:
"Close your eyes now, and I'll show you what your grandpa is seeing now."

Chen Jing closed his eyes.

After a long time, Chen Jing opened his eyes and two lines of tears flowed out.

Li Zhuiyuan tapped the old man's forehead repeatedly with his knuckles to calm his mind. The old man had reached the end of his life and no medicine could help.

Finally, the old man stopped struggling and looked at Chen Jing who was crying beside him.

Many memories in his mind are false, but the time he spends with his grandson is real. No matter what, he is still his grandson. He was naughty and had a bad temper when he was a child, but as he grew up, he became more and more sensible and considerate.

The old man closed his eyes. His death was not peaceful, but at least he ended his final struggle and torment.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Your grandpa is gone."

Chen Jing took a deep breath, staggered forward, pulled up the white sheet and covered his grandfather's face.

The young man wiped away his tears with all his strength and said word by word:

"I'm going to... kill him!"
