Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 254

The man surnamed Li arrived faster than expected, which made Zhao Yi feel a little regretful. He had deliberately left the story about Mr. Li to the end, thinking of arranging it well, but now there is no chance.

He stood up and took a quick look, but didn't see Xu Ming and Sun Yan.

Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his first reaction was that could it be that the two of them were played to death by the man named Li?

He had given orders to the team before, that when he was not there, everyone had to obey Li's instructions; even when he was there, as long as he did not raise any objections, everyone would still default to obey Li's command.

Logically speaking, people with the surname Li shouldn't be so vulgar.

His gaze shifted to the Liang sisters. Seeing that they looked normal, Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it should be nothing serious.

Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to speak: "Xu Ming was injured, he can recover."

Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. As long as you think it's useful, it's fine. We are so close, there's no need to mention this specifically. It's so formal."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I arranged for Sun Yan to stay up there and control the animals to set up surveillance in the nearby area to provide support."

Zhao Yi: "As it should be."

Sun Yan's position is a standard team assistant. There is not much value in her staying to participate in the front-line battles. Moreover, now that the two teams have merged, there is an excess of manpower.

Most importantly, based on past experience, it is very important to leave a healthy person outside to provide support.

Chen Jing looked at the people behind Li Zhuiyuan one by one. There was still violence flashing in the depths of the young man's eyes, but at the same time there was also a hint of gentle sympathy.

Li Zhuiyuan was very satisfied with this situation. He originally thought that Chen Jing would be tied up and controlled, but Zhao Yi did a really good job.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Runsheng."

"Hey."

Runsheng untied Shen Huaiyang's head which was tied around his waist. Although the skull had been pried open and the inside had been corroded, fortunately the face was not damaged and could still be described as "lifelike".

Chen Jing reached out and took the head, holding it and placing it in front of himself.

Everything happened too fast and too urgently. A few days ago, he chose to leave alone only because of a conflict of ideas with his master. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, his former master who was also his biological father became his greatest enemy in this life.

What I didn't expect was that this revenge could be taken so quickly.

Instead, it made it impossible for him, the person involved, to adjust himself and follow up emotionally in time.

He wanted to sigh, but found that he was not qualified. He wanted to reminisce, but these false memories made him feel sick.

Zhao Yi: "No matter what, your grandparents are sincere to you, and that's enough. Even if your past life was mixed with some water, you can at least guarantee that every step on the road ahead will be solid."

Chen Jing nodded: "Thank you, Brother Yi."

Zhao Yi smiled and touched the boy's head with his hand. It seemed that their relationship was improving rapidly.

Lin Shuyou, who was pushing Tan Wenbin's wheelchair, felt a little sorry for his brother Bin and muttered quietly:

"Oh no! The three-eyed guy took advantage of our situation and broke in!"

Ordinary companionship is often no match for the sudden presence after hysteria.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Zhao Yi, he could see that Zhao Yi had something special to say about this child. Logically speaking, Zhao Yi had already finished his work, there was no need for him to be "affectionate" at this time, but since he was still maintaining it, it meant that he still had a goal that he had not accomplished.

Could it be that Zhao Yi wanted to bring this young man into his team for traveling across the river?

Is it the demon blood that the boy has already revealed that makes Zhao Yi interested and think there is a future for him?

Chen Jing held his head, walked to the water's edge, squatted down, scooped out a bucket of water with his head, and then prepared to put his head over to drink.

This is using your own father's head as a drinking vessel.

Perhaps, this is the most direct and decisive way of revenge and separation that the boy can think of.

Runsheng reached out and grabbed the head to stop Chen Jing's actions.

Chen Jing looked at Runsheng in confusion.

Runsheng: "You can't drink it, it's poisonous."

Tan Wenbin explained: "There are remnants of curse in it. Drinking it is not good for your health."

Zhao Yi: "You take it with you first. When we get back, I'll help you with anti-corrosion and polishing, so that it can become a real work of art. You can put it in the living room, at the bedside, or even in the toilet as a wastebasket."

Chen Jing: "Why do we need a dirty wastebasket in the toilet?"

Zhao Yi: "You'll understand when you use the toilet."

Li Zhuiyuan is now certain that Zhao Yi just wants to trick this young man into joining his team.

Chen Jing followed Run Sheng's previous example and tied the head around his waist.

Li Zhuiyuan checked the restrictions inside the water curtain. The restrictions were not difficult to break because they were broken in themselves. This meant that if there was no special person to lead them, they would still be threatened by the internal restrictions from time to time after entering.

Zhao Yi: "I checked it before. In the past, this place, or even this area, should have been a complete ban. Now it's broken, which makes it even more difficult to deal with."

"I can take you in." Chen Jing looked around, "But there is a very scary existence inside, and he is about to wake up from his slumber. Master... Shen Huaiyang has been guided by him."

Lin Shuyou: "How terrible is it?"

Chen Jing: "Dragon King."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Chen Jing, including Zhao Yi.

He was just busy with psychological counseling and hadn't had time to ask about the real business.

Zhao Yi: "Dragon King? You mean, the manipulator behind all this is a Dragon King?"

Chen Jing: "That's what Shen Huaiyang told me. He said that the one he has been worshipping is the Dragon King."

Zhao Yi and Li Zhuiyuan looked at each other, and it was obvious that they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Li Zhuiyuan has come into contact with many Dragon King relics, including those of the Qin family, the Liu family, and the Zhao family.

At least so far, no Dragon King has ever disappointed him, and they have all shown a broad mind and courage.

If what Chen Jing said was true, then this would be the first Dragon King that Li Zhuiyuan had ever met who had changed his character.

Zhao Yi: "Shen Huaiyang himself is a fool, and he has been played around by others. If he says he is the Dragon King, does that mean he is really the Dragon King?"

Everyone nodded. Even if they didn't consider it from the perspective of the Dragon King's feelings, no one wanted the next opponent they were going to face to have such a terrifying origin.

Li Zhuiyuan: "What on earth is causing this trouble? We'll know after we go in and take a look. Chen Jing... lead the way."

"it is good."

Chen Jing walked into the water.

As soon as he went down, Li Zhuiyuan realized that the restrictions inside were actively avoiding him.

Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow closely and don't spread out too far."

The environment inside was like a cave, with water curtains one after another. I walked through it all the way and my whole body was soaked countless times.

Chen Jing stopped and said, "We have to swim to the front."

After saying this, he took the initiative to jump forward and began to swim.

The others followed suit. The area below was not actually bottomless, but it was just a strange mass of darkness.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed downwards, and Runsheng beside him understood what was happening. He inserted the Yellow River shovel downwards and stirred it.

The darkness dissipated, revealing the scene at the bottom.

It was like an underwater cage, with about thirty skeletons trapped inside, some with their feet locked and some with their hands handcuffed.

Li Zhuiyuan had seen larger corpse pits in the past, but this time was different. Even after being soaked in water for such a long time, the clothes on most of the skeletons were still intact, proving that they were not ordinary clothes. In addition, most of the bones still retained their crystal clear texture, which meant that the deceased were definitely not ordinary people when they were alive.

Zhao Yi made a gesture of wiping his neck to Li Zhuiyuan, meaning that this group of people should "commit suicide."

Li Zhuiyuan agreed with this view, because there were no signs of struggle or fighting below, and there were two skeletons wearing Buddhist robes and eight skeletons wearing Taoist robes, maintaining a meditation posture, which seemed to be a voluntary death.

Not everyone can face death calmly, so it is reasonable to suspect that this group of people might have broken the ban and came in to exorcise demons, but ended up with problems with their own memories. They were afraid that they would lose control and cause harm to the world after leaving here, so they chose to commit suicide here.

A similar scene had happened under the general's tomb in Zhangjiajie. When the Qin family Dragon King came to seal the general, the ancestors of the four families of Laotianmen took the initiative to come forward to help.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Lin Shuyou and pointed downwards again.

Perhaps because he was used to the mutual understanding when there was a red line involved, it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, and Lin Shuyou actually failed to understand the meaning of Xiaoyuange's gesture at the first time.

Fortunately, his eyes bulged and the boy's voice came:
"This is for you to try and see if you can get something up!"

This was indeed what Li Zhuiyuan meant. There was no other way. He had to go to the river empty-handed and had to pick up all his family assets on the river by himself.

Zhao Yi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this scene.

A man carrying two Dragon King gates on his shoulders actually had to take the initiative to touch the corpse. I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told others about it.

But this also reminded Zhao Yi that Mr. Li had come to this point. Next time, he must not make any jokes about the Zhao family's treasure house and must not find any excuses for him.

It would be fine if he really stole one or two items, but seeing how poor he was, Zhao Yi was really worried that if he was given any chance, Li would empty out the treasury completely.

Lin Shuyou went down. He had already seen many weapons and magic tools at the bottom. They all looked very valuable. If they could be fished up, everyone could share them. If not, they could be re-smelted.

You should also touch the clothes on the bones, maybe there are some good things hidden inside.

However, just as his body dropped to a certain level, Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils suddenly opened.

Below, all the bones began to tremble.

The situation changed too quickly, so the boy took over the body directly and True Lord Baihe quickly moved upstream.

The trembling bones all calmed down and did not cause the next stage of changes.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed forward, indicating not to try to get it and to continue swimming forward.

Li Zhuiyuan felt no guilt in taking these things. He took them anyway in order to better slay demons and monsters. But since the other party didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.

If they were still in a state of suspended animation or had some residual consciousness, it would probably be possible to get their things through communication, but they didn't.

They all died in a very clean cluster, and because of the special environmental conditions here, a special kind of miasma formed among their corpses.

If the stimulation exceeds a certain level, they might all fall into death. They were all members of the Xuanmen sect in their lifetime. If they became dead, it would be a real trouble.

"Crash..."

Get out of the water and onto the shore.

The ground under your feet is like marble, and in front of you are holes as densely packed as a beehive. The feng shui and weather conditions here are completely messed up, and even the qi will be torn and dispersed.

If Chen Jing hadn't led the way, it would have taken a lot of effort for Li Zhuiyuan to find the way on his own after arriving here.

After Yin Meng came ashore, he waved the exorcism whip, entangled Tan Wenbin who was floating on the water, and pulled him up.

Tan Wenbin quite likes the underwater environment because he just needs to lie down there and his two godsons will come out and push him to swim.

Lin Shuyou was the last one to go ashore. He looked behind him helplessly, then took out a sealing talisman and put it on Brother Bin, then carried Brother Bin on his back.

Zhao Yi walked up to the Liang sisters and spread out his hands: "Give me some liquid medicine."

Liang Yan: "What medicine?"

Zhao Yi: "I'll give it to you."

Liang Li: "Can I take it back after giving it away?"

Zhao Yi: "Just make up for it."

Liang Yan: "Are you sure you can make up for it?"

Liang Li: "You said it yourself, Old Man Tian was pounding the medicine pestle at home until sparks were about to fly."

Old man Tian, ​​who had just returned from paralysis, was very sad and depressed, thinking that he could no longer help the young master. Soon he found that he was overthinking. After Zhao Yi started walking on the river at a crazy high frequency, Old man Tian was many times more tired than when he accompanied the young master to walk on the river!
Zhao Yi: "I gave you two bottles. It's the common property of the couple, so I can get half. So, give me one bottle."

Liang Yan took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took it, walked to Chen Jing, handed it to him, and gestured for him to drink it.

"Brother Yi, I'm not tired..."

"No, you're tired."

After awakening his bloodline for the first time and running at such a high speed for such a long time, Chen Jing is now in a state of exhaustion.

Chen Jing had no choice but to drink the medicine in the jade bottle. He immediately felt a warm current appearing in his lower abdomen, which then flowed throughout his body, greatly reducing his fatigue.

Lin Shuyou smacked his lips.

Tan Wenbin on his back said with some amusement: "What are you dissatisfied with?"

Lin Shuyou: "The team's assets have been lost."

Tan Wenbin: “Haha.”

The Zhao family's medicine is recognized by everyone here. After all, they have all been beneficiaries, and have benefited more than once.

Tan Wenbin whispered something in Lin Shuyou's ear.

Lin Shuyou's eyes lit up, he walked forward and said to the Liang sisters, "He can only take half a bottle of the common property of the couple. He took one bottle to prove that both of you are his wives, so he has agreed to marry into the family."

Liang Yan: “That makes sense.”

Liang Li: "Boss, when this wave is over, I will ask the elders in my family to go to Jiujiang Zhao to propose marriage to you."

Zhao Yi: "I say, if the guide faints from exhaustion, what's the point of our journey! Also, Lili, stop saying such unlucky things. You have to know that we are walking on the river, and the cause and effect are serious. You see, your sister knows her limits very well."

Liang Yan: "To sow discord."

Liang Li: "When we are stupid."

Li Zhuiyuan was quite envious of Zhao Yi's drug supply, or to be more precise, his complete logistical supply.

If he had started walking along the river normally, Grandma Liu would definitely have prepared these things for him in advance, which was equivalent to dividing the family in advance and then lighting the lamp.

For example, for this medicinal garden, Grandma Liu would probably ask Uncle Qin to open it up a few years in advance, and then ask Aunt Liu to transplant rare materials and treasures into the two old houses. After the garden is mature, she would sign a ten-year contract for herself.

Zhao Yi wanted to hit back at Lin Shuyou. This kid was so rebellious that he dared to put on a sly look in public. But when he turned around and saw Xiao Yuan's gaze, he immediately said:
"The Yu family, the Yu family, there must be a lot of good things. By then, there will be nothing missing."

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Chen Jing and said, "Keep leading the way. We are ready to rest."

"Okay, please follow me."

As they continued to move forward, Zhao Yi took the initiative to walk to Li Zhuiyuan's side and whispered, "There is a potential risk point. I need to communicate with you in advance."

"Are you afraid of your memory being modified?"

"Yes, I am worried that someone's memory might be modified without him/her knowing it. This is an extreme possibility.

For example, if I modify a memory in your friend Lin Shu's mind and turn you into his enemy, he will raise his double maces and hit you on the head. "

Lin Shuyou: “Hello…”

In an instant, Lin Shuyou's eyes bulged and he felt a chill on his back. Tongzi and Tan Wenbin reminded him at the same time that even if he knew that the three eyes were threatening him, he could not disturb them.

Li Zhuiyuan: "This won't happen to my people."

Zhao Yi asked in confusion: "Have you created something new?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Zhao Yi: "What could have such an effect?"

At this time, Liang Yan and Liang Li, who were walking in front, turned back at the same time: "Their team seems to be able to..."

Zhao Yi: "Shut up!"

Is this the thing that I am asking about? I am asking whether this kind of defense mechanism can also be used to protect the three of them.

Li Zhuiyuan: “No.”

The red string can only be tied to someone whom one absolutely trusts and who will unconditionally obey one's will, so let alone the Liang sisters, even Zhao Yi cannot be tied to them.

If he succeeded, it would mean that Zhao Yi was completely convinced of himself, and his spirit was gone. He could go back and light the lamp again to admit defeat.

Zhao Yi: "What should we do then?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Nothing will happen to my people. If an extreme situation really happens, I will be the first one to have my memory modified and be fooled and manipulated. You can pay more attention to whether I will have any sudden changes."

Once the situation changes, Li Zhuiyuan can release the red line, connect with all his partners, and then actively pull the means against them over and apply them to himself.

Therefore, if there is a problem in the team, the first one to go wrong is Li Zhuiyuan.

However, there was one thing Li Zhuiyuan did not tell Zhao Yi, that is, he himself was not sure whether his memory could be modified.

After all, there is another entity living inside of you.

The inner thoughts and spiritual worlds of the two of them are independent, but what this body experiences can be perceived by the original body, otherwise he would not point fingers and criticize his own behavior every time he throws away garbage.

This is equivalent to... I have an extra backup set of memories. If this happens between the inner demon and the main body, there is almost no doubt that they will fight for dominance.

But the main body has been studying the "Code of Conduct for Walking on the River" recently, and has no time to launch a fuss before it has figured out how to take the lead without suffering further suppression from the Heavenly Dao.

Zhao Yi: "Damn, does this mean that tragedy can only happen here?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Keep an eye on each other."

Zhao Yi: "You must show mercy to my men and try to rescue them."

Li Zhuiyuan: “I will.”

After walking for a while, the road ahead began to shrink and narrow, from its original semi-open shape.

Chen Jing: "It's just ahead, almost there."

Yin Meng: "Although it was a short swim, it was still pretty close."

Compared with the previous trips to the secret realm, this time the journey is indeed shorter.

Suddenly, Chen Jing stopped and looked at the slanted rock wall: "What is this?"

Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi in the back also looked over, but didn't see anything. Then they immediately stepped forward to be level with Chen Jing. When they looked at the rock wall again, they saw a mural on it.

"There was no white stuff here last time I was here."

Zhao Yi: "That's because the last time you came here, you were just an ordinary little Taoist boy who had just started. It should have always been here, but you couldn't sense it in the past."

Although his eyes were a little sore, what Zhao Yi saw was a clear mural, not something white and hazy. This meant that even Chen Jing at present could not see it clearly.

The others followed and looked towards the rock wall together.

Runsheng took a quick look and found it was pitch black, so he looked away without struggling at all. He took out some compressed biscuits from his backpack and began to replenish his strength in time.

Yin Meng: "Why is it so foggy? Is there fog here?"

Lin Shuyou opened his pupils and asked in confusion, "Landscape painting?"

Yin Meng lowered her head silently and spread out her hands, and Runsheng put a piece of compressed biscuit into her palm.

Runsheng: You shouldn’t talk so much.

Yin Meng: You are right.

After asking this unnecessary question, I was sent directly to the table with the children.

What Tan Wenbin saw was also a landscape painting, but the composition was not large and the outline of the mountains was not included, so it was impossible to tell whether the painting was of Mount Qingcheng.

Lin Shuyou: "It's moving. The weather has changed from cloudy to sunny, and it's starting to rain again."

Tan Wenbin: "My situation changes from morning to night."

Liang Yan: "The cycle from morning to night is quite artistic."

Liang Li: "It's unpredictable."

The two sisters looked at each other, each stretched out a hand, held it, closed their eyes, and then opened them at the same time.

Then, the two sisters said in unison:
“There’s someone in the painting!”

Runsheng swallowed the compressed biscuit in his mouth, and when he took the second piece, he whispered to Yin Meng beside him:

"It's foggy."

Yin Meng glared at him, pinched Runsheng's waist with her hands, and then twisted it.

"Hiss...you dead man!"

As soon as I applied force with my fingertips, I felt a pricking pain.

This is the sequelae of Runsheng's last recovery. As long as his skin is under external pressure, it will release evil spirits.

That is to say, even if Runsheng stands still and lets others hit him, the opponent will gradually absorb the evil spirit into his body and his vitality will be destroyed.

Liang Yan: "Where are the dead people?"

Liang Li: "We only saw the living, where are the dead?"

The two girls turned their eyes to Yin Meng. In their opinion, Yin Meng should have seen a higher level than them.

Yin Meng unscrewed the kettle and started drinking water.

The two children on Tan Wenbin's shoulders were trying hard to stare, but they could only see the change of time.

However, with the Liang sisters' demonstration, Tan Wenbin suggested that the two children hold hands.

After holding the little hand, when Tan Wenbin looked at the mural again, not only did the time change, the weather changed, but he also saw a figure walking on a mountain path, and under the figure's feet... there seemed to be a four-legged creature with a tail shaking.

Lin Shuyou turned his head to look at Brother Bin, and found that Brother Bin was absorbed in watching. He said in his heart:

"Dead eyes, look quickly!"

He didn't believe that as the True Lord Baihe, his vertical pupils could not be better than those of Brother Bin's two godsons.

Boy: "This is a divine mind map."

Lin Shuyou: "You can't read it?"

Boy: "You can see it, but there's no need to see it. Even if you see it, you can't get in."

Lin Shuyou: "Go in?"

“Well, this is more than just a mural.”

“Everyone is watching…”

"I may be able to go in, but I am one with you now, so I cannot take you in. Save your strength and go protect the Dharma."

"Dharma protector?"

At this time, Lin Shuyou saw Brother Xiaoyuan looking at him.

Without waiting for Xiaoyuan's signal, Ayou immediately ran over and stood next to Xiaoyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan once again set his eyes on the mural in front of him.

Zhao Yi, who was standing beside him, had been standing there with his eyes open, motionless.

This divine mind map cannot be seen in its true form unless one’s spiritual level has reached a certain level.

Li Zhuiyuan's consciousness was immersed in it, and soon he felt the cold wind and continuous rain in the mountains. Looking around, he already appeared in the painting.

In front was Zhao Yi who had come in earlier.

Zhao Yi: "Why are you so slow to come in? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

In fact, Li Zhuiyuan was the first to come in, and then he went out and arranged for Lin Shuyou to come and protect the law.

"Now that you've come in, what are you waiting for me here for?"

"I definitely have to wait for you. This mind map is a bit scary. If something unexpected happens here, your brain will also be damaged in reality."

"Oh, I am afraid."

"I was afraid that you might get into an accident by yourself, so I stayed to take care of you." Zhao Yi was still explaining when he turned around and saw two black spots, one large and one small, walking towards him on the mountain path below. "Is one a person and the other a dog?"

It was impossible to see what the dot was from such a distance, so Li Zhuiyuan asked directly:

"Have you seen whose bloodline Chen Jing's demon clan belongs to?"

Zhao Yi: "It's either a wolf or a dog. In any case, it has a very good nose."

The wind in the mountains blew very fast, and the people in the mountains also walked very fast.

As the distance shortened, the two black dots, one big and one small, gradually turned into a man in a black robe and a wolfhound following him.

Zhao Yi: "Guess who he is?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's just take a gamble and see if his last name is Yu."

A man and a dog came up to them.

The black-robed man's face was covered by a hat, so his true appearance could not be seen, but his exposed hands and half of his forearms were covered with horrific scars.

Every scar seemed to be alive, emitting a terrifying pressure that made one's scalp tingle, and seemed to be telling a heart-wrenching story invisibly.

One leaf can tell the coming of autumn. There must be many more scars like this on the other party's body.

This was definitely a burden that ordinary people could hardly imagine, but he took it on alone.

The man in black robe gives people the feeling of a mountain. He is not tall, but very majestic.

Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi subconsciously retreated to the sides, giving each other the way to continue up the mountain.

Previously, the two were still discussing each other's identities, but now, one of the other's identities has been confirmed.

Only by witnessing it with one's own eyes, even if only indirectly through the remnants of the original divine consciousness, can one realize that the legend and imprint of an era is not an exaggerated rhetoric.

It's true that when he stands in front of you, you know who he is, and he doesn't even need to introduce himself, because his existence is enough to support an entire family.

In the past, Li Zhuiyuan had asked Tan Wenbin to help him issue the Dragon King Order to the Bai family, but that Dragon King Order referred to the Dragon King's clan, not the Dragon King himself.

The young man finally understood what the true "Dragon King's Order" meant and why, throughout history, the Dragon Kings of all generations could easily call on the local Taoists to gather around them and work with them to suppress evil spirits and eliminate disasters.

This sense of oppression, this texture, this response, he only needs to stand in front and wave his hand, and the responders will gather immediately.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, his expression somewhat excited. He knew that the man in black robe was not his ancestor, but today, he really felt a touch of Zhao Wuyang's former charm through this method.

You know, this is the result of the other party trying desperately to suppress his aura. If the Dragon King lets go of all restraints and lets himself out completely, how terrifying would that be?
A yellow local dog followed the man in black robe. There was a small red rope hanging around the dog's neck, and a silver dollar was tied to the bottom of the red rope.

This local dog looks ordinary, and in terms of appearance, it is completely inferior to Xiao Hei in Li Zhuiyuan's family. But how could a dog that can follow this person be an ordinary dog? It is just as low-key as its owner and does not reveal its true form.

At this moment, the man in black robe who had been walking between the two of them suddenly stopped.

Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi immediately raised their eyelids. Could it be that... he had noticed them?

No matter how mysterious the divine mind map is, it is ultimately just a painting that was once completed. But now, the person in the painting and the person who appreciates it have produced some kind of wonderful resonance.

The man in black robe turned around and pushed his hat back, revealing his weather-beaten face.

He was not too old, but the wrinkles on his face were as if carved by a knife, and the spots were more like a terrible curse, making him look much older than his actual age, almost at the end of his life.

His eyes were very cloudy, but that did not prevent his consciousness from shining through, clearly aimed at the two people in front of him.

The local dog wagged its tail, turned around, and looked around curiously and blankly.

The black-robed man asked, "Your life span is coming to an end. Should you continue to live?"

Every word was like a hammer, hitting Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi's brains, shaking their consciousness.

Zhao Yi opened his lips with trembling hands and replied, "Well...it seems...it shouldn't be...right?"

His ancestor Zhao Wuyang was confirmed to have died at a normal age.

Jiujiang Zhao never had another Dragon King afterwards. No matter how good the management methods were, they could not compare to having a Dragon King in charge. Therefore, later generations, even the elders of the family, have sighed more than once, wishing that their ancestors could live longer.

For that kind of existence, there are simply too many ways to continue existing in the world.

Zhao Yi is using the choices made by his ancestors to answer the person in front of him.

The man in black robe looked at Zhao Yi with a smile on his face. He agreed with this answer.

Zhao Yi felt relieved. If he hadn't tried hard to maintain it, he would have almost left the mind map and returned to reality when he was answering the question just now.

Under this kind of pressure, there is little room for lying and covering up, especially in front of this person.

Li Zhuiyuan said:

"If I continue to live, I won't be beautiful."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robe opened his lips and then smiled broadly: "Hahaha..."

Obviously, he was very satisfied with this answer.

The man in black robe turned around and continued to walk forward, faster and faster, almost running, and the local dog was trying hard to follow him.

"Yes, I, Yu Tiannan, have lived a magnificent life, and I should die with honor and dignity!"

On the top of the mountain, a thick dark cloud appeared. In the dark cloud, a huge, distorted and hideous face appeared. It was roaring angrily and panicked at the black-robed man who was climbing up the mountain and approaching him below!
"The way of heaven is clear, the world is vast, and I, Yu Tiannan, will sacrifice my broken body and my dying life to suppress you for three hundred years!"

……

"Buzz!"

Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi trembled at the same time, and their consciousness returned to reality.

The divine mind diagram on the rock wall tells the story of how the Dragon King of the Yu family, when he was about to die, chose to use the last rays of his life to suppress another evil spirit.

Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi bowed down to the rock wall together.

After the ceremony, Zhao Yi asked curiously, "Beautiful, how did you come up with this word?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “What’s in my mind.”

Zhao Yi: "Are you thinking so far ahead now?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “I’m used to it.”

Wei Zhengdao kept trying to commit suicide, and those who had contact with Wei Zhengdao all hoped that Wei Zhengdao would succeed in committing suicide.

This is also recognized by Li Zhuiyuan.

If you can cure your disease and live a good life, you will be satisfied. There is no need to pursue immortality and turn yourself into something neither human nor ghost. It is too ugly.

The other people around didn’t know what the two “bosses” were talking about, but no one asked.

Zhao Yi said to Chen Jing: "Keep leading the way."

Chen Jing pointed ahead and said, "It's the black pool in front."

When they reached the edge of the black pool, the water was almost completely thawed, with only a few ice fragments floating on the surface.

A monument appeared above the water, with the words "Yutiannan Town" written on it.

Li Zhuiyuan discovered that there was black fog rising from the black pool. Looking up in that direction, he could see a thick and flowing fog gathering on the top of the rock wall above. It seemed like a source, transforming into small streams and spreading in all directions.

It seems that the accident happened at the construction site because they dug up such a stream, allowing the black air here to escape.

Zhao Yi: "There is no trace of the seal left. Could it be that the Dragon King's seal failed?"

After all, it was the last blow before death, not the peak power, so it is understandable that it failed.

Li Zhuiyuan: "He said to suppress and kill it. Three hundred years is just an approximate number. I think when he made the move, he should have the confidence that he could kill this evil spirit within three hundred years.

Besides, do you remember the silver dollar hanging around the neck of that dog? It’s not even three hundred years old.”

Zhao Yi: "So, you think something went wrong during the sealing process?"

At this time, the water level in the black pool dropped rapidly, as if an invisible force was draining it.

At the bottom of the pool, there is a platform, on which lies a wolfdog of extremely huge size. Just by looking at the corpse, it is hard to imagine how terrifying it must have been when it was alive.

Zhao Yi: "Is this the little dog?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Well, look at the eight chains below."

All eight chains were now broken, but one of them was broken, and the other seven were decayed by time.

When there are eight chains, the formation is complete. Once one is lost, the power of the formation will be greatly reduced, and it is only a matter of time before the remaining chains are corroded.

Zhao Yi: "Someone once broke a chain at the deepest part of this pool of water."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because of this chain, he was also trapped."

Zhao Yi licked his cracked lips. He had guessed something. He pointed his finger downward and asked, "Xiaoyuan... Brother, do you feel that something is missing down there?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "His monsters are buried here, and this is the cemetery he chose for himself. How could his body disappear?"

Zhao Yi: "Is there a possibility..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes, I personally witnessed and treated three patients whose memories were swapped in the hospital."

Zhao Yi: "So, after Yu Tiannan defeated and suppressed the evil spirit, he died soon after. Then, his dog betrayed him and bowed to the evil spirit sealed by Yu Tiannan, or they reached some kind of deal.

The evil spirit used its special ability to transplant the dog's memory into Yu Tiannan's body. He broke a chain and left here, and finally..."

Li Zhuiyuan:
"The dog returned to the Yu family as Yu Tiannan."
