Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 286

The startup failed and Lin Shuyou failed to transform into Lord White Crane.

What’s even more terrible is that the hospitable couple who owned the house saw two young men standing at the door and thought something was wrong, so they took the initiative to go out and ask.

But those two are real evil ghosts.

It can possess living people and control them to move forward, with thick ghost fog rolling behind it. Among all ghosts, it is one of the most ferocious ones.

There is no need to do things secretly at night when there is chaos. People can kill you right in front of you.

This kind of thing usually does not exist for too long. If it is too ostentatious, it will easily be attacked. However, there will always be innocent people who will become the price of their previous sins.

Lin Shuyou was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else and jumped directly from the second-floor terrace.

The bad news is that the boy is still in a deep sleep, and the worse news is that Lin Shuyou has just woken up and his injuries have not yet healed.

I was panting while washing clothes before, and now that I fell from a high place, my body, especially the ribs on my chest, seemed to be suffering from internal friction.

The pain was bearable, but the chest tightness and shortness of breath that followed made Lin Shuyou stagger and he almost couldn't stand.

After all, waking up from a serious injury and recovering from a serious illness are not the same thing. The latter is just a little weak, while the former is likely to still be disabled.

But seeing that the hostess was already opening the door to ask the other party if he wanted to come in to avoid the rain, Lin Shuyou immediately ran over and took out the evil-breaking talisman needle from his pocket.

Qian Ying and Wu Lan glanced at the host couple, and the couple's eyes immediately became dull.

Before any further action could be taken, Lin Shuyou rushed out and threw out two talisman needles, which stuck to the young man and woman.

There was a series of "crackling" sounds, Qian Ying and Wu Lan kept retreating, and two screams that did not belong to them were heard.

Unfortunately, the rolling fog behind him offset a lot of the damage caused by the talisman paper, and the talisman paper was burned out.

The two men were in a state of embarrassment, but their ferocity was also aroused. They looked at Lin Shuyou with red eyes, and resentment burst out.

In the past, this resentful force would never have been able to attack Lin Shuyou, but now it could hit him directly, and Ah You flew backwards.

Qian Ying and Wu Lan each raised their hands, their hair loose, their feet motionless, their toes sliding on the ground, and pounced over.

Lin Shuyou instinctively wanted to slap the ground and fly up, but this time, not only did he fail to get up, but he felt so much pain that the corners of his mouth twitched and he almost rolled his eyes.

The experience and awareness are there, but the physical condition is totally incompatible, which is a serious hindrance.

At this moment, Lin Shuyou experienced Xiaoyuan's greatest distress.

There was no way out. Seeing the evil spirit rushing towards him, Ayou could only use his hands, feet and hips to move backwards while sitting, but Qian Ying and Wu Lan were already approaching.

Even the dignified Lord Baihe felt as aggrieved as a tiger in dire straits at this moment.

In his most powerful state, it would be absolutely easy to deal with these two evil ghosts. Even without using the power of the True Lord, Ah You could still make them run around in circles just by relying on his skills and tools and talismans.

But at this moment, they can really take their own lives.

Wu Lan leaned forward and pressed down like a compass. Lin Shuyou spun his butt like a spinning top and barely avoided it.

"Pfft..."

Wu Lan inserted ten fingers into the ground. If he inserted them into his body, there would be ten more holes.

But there were two people on the other side after all. As soon as Lin Shuyou dodged one of them, Qian Ying slid over and sat on Lin Shuyou's abdomen.

Qian Ying's legs were "bent", with the center of gravity on her body, but her lower body was pressed tightly against Lin Shuyou, completely clamping him.

To outsiders who don’t know the truth, it may seem a bit erotic, but in fact, once a person is possessed by a ghost, he or she becomes another kind of existence.

Lin Shuyou only felt as if a large piece of ice was pressing heavily on his abdomen, and wisps of rotten smell forced their way into his nose.

In fact, the person had just had an accident not long ago, so if he were to rot, he wouldn't rot that quickly. But it is this kind of fresh rot that has the strongest smell, with the remaining breath of the living person and the ghostly aura intertwined, which is equivalent to drinking Houttuynia cordata dipped in soy milk.

Qian Ying first raised her arms forward, and then stabbed towards Lin Shuyou's chest just like Wu Lan did before.

Lin Shuyou raised his hand to block, and although he successfully held the opponent's wrist, he was weak and did not have the strength to hold out for too long. At this moment, Wu Lan also came over and pounced on him.

Ayou was desperate.

It's not that I despair about dying, but that I would die at the hands of such a low-level thing.

Originally, he lived here with Runsheng and Brother Bin.

There was no choice but Zhao Yi accompanied Runsheng to visit Yin Meng’s grave.

Brother Bin borrowed the host's tricycle and went to the nearby county town to make additional purchases.

Well, even if Brother Bin was here it would be of no use. The four spirit beasts in his body haven't awakened yet. With Brother Bin's skills, he can't help much except adding another corpse to be buried with him.

However, Runsheng, even though his chest was thickly bandaged and his injuries were no less serious than his own, when he just woke up and asked about Yin Meng's whereabouts, there was really a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Lin Shuyou saw that Three Eyes was planning to make a joke at first, but after seeing his look, he immediately started talking seriously.

As for his own body, after being adjusted by the boy again and again, his injury resistance is still far inferior to Runsheng's. It can only be said that the boy is too inferior.

Wu Lan's claws were already in front of him. Lin Shuyou could even smell the evil spirit coming out of his mouth. Although he was still trying to maintain a stalemate with Qian Ying's arms, he had already closed his eyes.

When he was dying, he did not regret jumping out to save people when he was in a very bad condition. Not to mention that the couple who owned the house were very welcoming to him, even if he met an ordinary stranger who encountered such a thing, the book friend would go to rescue him without hesitation.

"ah!!."

A scream was heard, and Wu Lan stood up, waving his arms wildly.

Lin Shuyou immediately opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw the figure of a young man standing at the door... Brother Xiaoyuan.

It was not until this moment that Lin Shuyou suddenly realized: Yes, Brother Xiaoyuan is near me!

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be ignored, but I didn't think of it before.

Ayou felt that he had injured his brain. The truth was, it was indeed easy to ignore such an emergency. A military advisor wearing a feather fan and a long scarf and sitting in a wheelchair could also pick up a knife and chop people.

There was a talisman behind Wu Lan. The talisman paper was red, like a branding iron. It burned Wu Lan and made the fog around him roll and boil.

This effect is many times stronger than when Lin Shuyou used the talisman just now.

The reason was that Lin Shuyou stuck his stickers on Wu Lan and Qian Ying, while the boy stuck his stickers on the evil ghost that possessed them.

Wu Lan was completely enraged. He left Lin Shuyou behind and rushed towards the young man, roaring.

Li Zhuiyuan did not dodge, but continued walking towards this side just as he did when he pushed open the gate and came in before.

When Wu Lan rushed to the boy, Li Zhuiyuan raised his right hand and pointed forward.

With a plop, Wu Lan knelt down in front of Li Zhuiyuan.

The young man waved his right hand casually, and Wu Lan seemed to be dragged by an invisible big hand and thrown out like garbage.

This is not a telekinetic ability, but the one controlling Wu Lan's body is the evil ghost behind him. Li Zhuiyuan caught the ghost.

Qian Ying, who was sitting on Lin Shuyou, stopped moving. Rather than the boy throwing her companion out nonchalantly, she was more afraid of the aura that just emanated from the boy.

The ghosts living near Fengdu are more worldly-wise than those outside. The aura just now was enough to make the ghosts around Fengdu tremble.

She immediately stood up from Lin Shuyou, and instead of running towards the boy, she ran towards the courtyard wall in the opposite direction.

But for some reason, this body didn't listen to him. It turned around on the spot and ran straight towards the young man.

The boy took out his small compass, held it in his hand, and placed it in front of him.

After Qian Ying ran closer, she slid to her knees and seemed to take the initiative to put her forehead against the compass.

The compass spins.

"what!!!"

There were shrill screams, as if someone was being tortured.

This compass is inlaid with a strange copper coin, which is usually used for calculations. But in fact, as long as the young man is willing to open its restrictions, most of the evil spirits in the world dare not get close to it, because this copper coin is even more evil.

After a while, a wisp of black mist rose from behind Qian Ying, and the evil ghost flew away.

Qian Ying leaned forward, face down, and fell to the ground. Her body, which had looked normal before, now had large areas of corpse spots.

There's no need to check this, the person has been dead for a long time.

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to Wu Lan. He was still kneeling on the ground after being thrown out by the young man. It was not that he wanted to kneel, but he had no choice.

The boy started to walk in the negative.

Behind Wu Lan was a middle-aged man with a festering and hideous face.

"I ask, you answer."

"I'll tell you everything, please forgive me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of fire overflowed from the young man's fingertips and rushed onto the evil ghost, which immediately let out the most terrifying howl.

After a while, the flames dissipated, and the young man spoke again:
"I ask, you answer."

"Please...please ask."

After finishing the questioning, Li Zhuiyuan gathered the karmic fire in his palm again, grabbed the evil ghost's soul, and let it completely disintegrate in the most painful state.

Clapping his hands, the young man stood up and looked at the ghost fog that still existed around him. He was not in a hurry to disperse it.

This ghost fog can block the perception of ordinary people outside, and it is still useful for now.

Qian Ying and Wu Lan died here, and it is hard to explain. It is very troublesome to deal with the police or Mr. Zhai.

Li Zhuiyuan planned to have someone send the two bodies back to the temple on the top of the mountain. There was an old monk in the temple who was the culprit behind all this.

Lin Shuyou struggled to get up, came over, and said with shame on his face: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I..."

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"No, just a little scratch, nothing serious."

"Have you asked Zhao Yi for the pill?"

"He gave it to me after I woke up, saying it was very precious and he only had one left."

Lin Shuyou originally thought that Brother Xiaoyuan would teach him a lesson about not trying to be a hero when he was not in good shape. He remembered Brother Bin mentioned that when Runsheng first entered college, he was criticized by Brother Xiaoyuan for making such a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Brother Xiaoyuan didn't seem to have any intention of criticizing him at all.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the house owner and his wife who were standing there in a daze, stood on tiptoe, raised his arms, tapped their foreheads one by one with his fingertips, and then pasted the Qingxin Talisman on them, told them to have a good sleep, and said to Lin Shuyou:

"When the boy wakes up, ask him to extract the remaining ghost energy from these two people and comb their bodies at the same time."

The boy used to be an official or a general, so he must be good at this. However, the temple charges a fee for this ceremony, and it is very expensive. In many cases, the ghost gods are unwilling to take on this kind of work.

"Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan, I'll remember that."

"Room fee?"

"Brother Bin told me to leave it behind before I leave."

"Ah."

Lin Shuyou first dragged the owner of the house back to the house and put him on the bed, and then placed the two bodies of Qian Ying and Wu Lan back into the house.

Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand and dispelled the ghost fog around him.

He felt that the ghost was not coming for them.

After the battle of Three Incense Sticks that night, the underworld should not send anyone to target him and others again. If they send someone, at least send a ghost commander or something. This kind of evil ghost who has turned into a lackey is really too shameful.

Therefore, it is most likely targeted at Mr. Zhai and others.

Not long after, Zhao Yi and Runsheng came running back. It must be that Zhao Yi sensed the ghostly aura appearing in the town.

Runsheng frowned, with a look of deep remorse on his face.

He felt that it was his departure that put Xiaoyuan in danger.

Zhao Yi patted Runsheng's arm and said, "This is none of your business. Who knew that Ah You would be so useless now?"

Lin Shuyou glared at Zhao Yi, then nodded and said, "That's right."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't delay, send these two bodies back to the temple on the mountain, and then get rid of the evil monk in the temple."

Zhao Yi: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Runsheng stood there without moving.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Runsheng, you can come with me. I'm fine. Even without Ayou, I can protect myself."

Runsheng didn't want to leave, but he had to listen to Xiaoyuan, so he accompanied Zhao Yi, carrying the corpse, and secretly went up the mountain.

Lin Shuyou was a little worried and said, "Brother Xiaoyuan, will they have any..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "If Zhao Yi can take risks even in a temple like that, then he should not leave Jiang anytime soon."

When they returned to the large yard where the trucks were parked, Li Zhuiyuan first secretly boarded their bus, then got off and got into the back of his own truck.

After the examination, it was initially estimated that it would take another night for the Liang sisters to wake up normally.

Li Zhuiyuan placed his hands on the sisters' foreheads and kept tapping them, trying to force them to wake up early.

The two sisters woke up slowly, one immediately retched and the other held her head.

After briefly explaining the situation, Li Zhuiyuan asked them to leave with the supplies and find Yin Meng's burial place.

The biggest problem of the two sisters was that they had overdrawn their lifespans too much, but they still retained more skills than Lin Shuyou did now, so they quickly avoided the eyes and ears of the yard and left.

After getting off the car, Li Zhuiyuan met the researcher with the receding hairline, chatted with him for a while, and then went upstairs to his room.

By dusk, seeing that Qian Ying and Wu Lan had not returned yet, Master Zhai and the others could no longer sit still. Except for Master Zhai himself who stayed here, all the disciples and the police in charge of security in the yard went out to start looking for them.

Later, the owner mobilized nearby villagers to come and help.

The first cars to be searched were those in the yard and nearby, especially Li Zhuiyuan's truck. People did not suspect that they were kidnapping Tibetans, but rather assumed that some young couple had found a spacious place to be intimate and then fell asleep and forgot about the time.

Mr. Zhai was sitting under the eaves holding a cup of water. It was raining heavily outside. He kept turning the lid of the cup, revealing his inner anxiety.

Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to come over and said, "Grandpa Zhai, let me help you change the hot water."

"No, that's not necessary." Zhai Lao reached out and held Li Zhuiyuan's hand, "Sit here with Grandpa for a while."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded and sat down with him.

The old man just wanted to sit there and wait for the result, and had no intention of finding something to talk about while playing chess.

Time passed slowly, the sky was completely dark, and the rain outside was getting heavier. From here, one could only vaguely see the flashlights that occasionally swept across the top of the mountain.

At this time, a disciple came running in hurriedly, his body covered in mud and water, and he fell at the gate.

Mr. Zhai stood up and said with trembling lips:

"Zheng Hua, have you found it?"

The disciple came over, rolling and crawling, his glasses were covered with water droplets, some from rain and some from tears, and he answered in a sobbing voice;
"Teacher, we found their bodies!"

Zhai Lao felt as if he had been electrocuted and sat back down suddenly.

Zheng Hua began to talk about how the temple on the top of the mountain was very small, and was maintained by only an old monk all year round. Everyone first went to the top of the mountain to look for the monk in the temple, but the temple door was wide open and there was no one inside.

The big guys could only spread out and search around, including on the back of the mountain.

After searching for a long time, I met someone from the police station. I went up the mountain to connect with the police there. I learned that someone from the duty room of a small hydropower station at the foot of the mountain came to report a case and saw an old monk chasing two young people, a man and a woman, with a knife.

Young men and women shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The old monk kept screaming: "I will kill you, I will kill you!"

The person in the duty room immediately called several other employees on duty and went to look for the person together. Then, in front of everyone's eyes, all three of them slipped and fell into the ravine.

Everyone ran over immediately and looked down, and saw three people lying at the edge of the ravine, motionless.

Someone tied a rope and lowered them down to check. After confirming that all three were dead, they hurriedly called the police.

After listening to the description, Li Zhuiyuan knew that the scene of pursuit seen by the people at the hydropower station should have been deliberately reproduced by Zhao Yi using puppetry.

The reason why this matter took so long was that it was raining heavily and there were almost no people outside. Zhao Yi spent a long time looking for suitable witnesses.

Mr. Zhai took a deep breath and said sadly:
"I should have kept an eye on them. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let them run around. I should have known there was danger. I thought we would be fine as long as we didn't enter Fengdu... I was careless. It's my fault. I killed them."

Seeing that the old man was showing signs of losing his mind, Li Zhuiyuan took the opportunity to ask:
“Grandpa Zhai, this is not your fault. Who could have thought that something like this would happen?”

Mr. Zhai: "It was bound to happen. From the first exploration team, only three people came back alive, and they were all crazy."

After saying this, Mr. Zhai closed his eyes.

Li Zhuiyuan and the disciple helped him back to the room to rest.

Next, the case entered a normal rhythm. Although there were still many unreasonable aspects, such as the old monk's motive for murder and the corpse spots on the body, there were too many witnesses and the testimonies were credible, so the case was not difficult to handle.

When Li Zhuiyuan was lying on the bed reading, Zhao Yi came in through the window and said, "There are two more police cars outside, and there are police officers downstairs taking statements."

"Ah."

"Runsheng and his friends have returned to live in that house. They really trust me and let me be responsible for your security."

"At least now, I feel relieved."

The key to solving this wave in Fengdu lies in Li Zhuiyuan. Not to mention that with the current relationship between the two sides, there is really no need to guard against sneak attacks and assassinations. Even if Zhao Yi suddenly goes crazy and wants to kill someone, he will not do it during this period. If not for himself, he has to think about the whole family.

“That old monk was an idiot. When I checked his things and notes, I found that he had really cultivated compassion to a certain level.

The old guy had a little bit of Taoism skills, but not much. After catching the evil spirits, he couldn't bear to disperse or suppress them. He actually wanted to keep them in front of him and convert them with his Buddhist teachings.

As a result, he caught more and more evil spirits, and then one day they turned against him and turned him into a ghost monk.

But on weekdays they only stole some livestock to replenish their blood and food, and they didn't kill many people. But today, when they met the two young lovers entering the temple to burn incense, they seemed to be provoked.

Not only kill people, but also come to town.

I think this is not directed at us, but at these researchers.”

"Ah."

"There are ghosts preventing us from going to Fengdu, and there are also ghosts preventing those people from going to Fengdu."

"Yes." "What the enemy is targeting is what we are going to protect next."

"Ah."

“Can you give me more response?”

"We agree with each other, what else do we need to respond to?"

"Praise me for being smart and wise."

Li Zhuiyuan did not praise, but took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

When the call was not picked up, Li Zhuiyuan made a pager call.

Late at night, after we had turned off the lights and gone to bed, our cell phone rang.

Li Zhuiyuan answered the phone, and Xue Liangliang's voice came from the other end:

"Xiaoyuan, I just parked the car by the river today. Don't worry, I have tested these cars for you. I have driven them many times and there are no problems!"

"Brother Liangliang, thank you."

"It's okay, ouch..." From the other end of the phone, Xue Liangliang cried out in pain, followed by a few blows from himself, and then a sound of wind.

Through the sound, Li Zhuiyuan can imagine Xue Liangliang's current actions.

Standing by the river, he pounded his waist and made circles with his upper body in an attempt to relieve the numbness and pain.

After the person put the microphone back to his face, Li Zhuiyuan said:

"Brother Liangliang, thank you for your hard work. You drove for such a long time today."

The person on the other end of the phone was speechless for a moment, and his face probably turned red.

Once upon a time, Xue Liangliang came to Nantong whenever he had time, and jumped into the river as soon as he arrived in Nantong. He was even featured on Nantong TV for saving people while jumping into the river.

It has been so long since I last came back. I finally have a legitimate reason to come back that can convince myself, and I can't wait. Mainly, I miss my unborn child, and of course, I miss the child's mother too.

"Ahem... ahem... Xiaoyuan, do you have anything else to say?"

"Have."

"Then you say it and I listen."

"Let her answer the phone."

"She, you mean her?"

"Yeah." Li Zhuiyuan paused. Xue Liangliang's face was indeed big enough to make the young man add, "Sister-in-law."

That is, she could only shout when the lady of the Bai family was not around. If she was present, even if Li Zhuiyuan wanted to shout, she would not dare to listen.

"Then wait, I'll go call her."

The mobile phone was not waterproof, so it was placed on the shore.

Then, Li Zhuiyuan heard a "plop" sound.

Although Xue Liangliang has witnessed bizarre things, he has also interacted with bizarre people, creating bizarre results.

But after all, he was not a member of the Xuanmen sect. He could not call out the ladies of the Bai family from the bottom of the river by throwing a piece of yellow paper like Tan Wenbin and the others did. He could only use the most primitive method to knock on the door.

It was very fast. It didn't take long before the mobile phone was picked up again. It seemed that he was not doing anything else.

"Xiaoyuan, she's up here. I'll give her the mobile phone."

"Do not……"

Before Li Zhuiyuan could finish his words, a harsh noise came from the other end of the line.

The Queen of the Bai family is not a human being. If you put the phone next to her, the signal will be problematic.

Before, Baijia Town sent someone to call Lu Yi, but that person was also attached to a person.

"Xiao Yuan, she said you can't hear it this way, right?"

"Well, Brother Liangliang, you relay my words."

"Okay, you say, hey hey hey, don't..."

"Let her get up."

"Get up. Xiaoyuan asked you to get up. Okay, she's up now."

"Tell her to accompany you to Fengdu and ensure your safety on the journey."

Without Li Zhuiyuan's order, Baijia Town is not allowed to leave Nantong without permission.

"Xiao Yuan, she's pregnant, so it might not be convenient for her. Can you ask someone else to go with me?"

"No."

The other ladies of the Bai family might be capable enough, but Li Zhuiyuan did not trust them. She was the only one who would never want the child in her belly to be fatherless before being born.

"Xiaoyuan, she agreed."

"Well, the new exploration team is stuck on the road. It will probably take two or three days to get to Fengdu. Brother Liangliang, you can stay in Nantong for a while and help me fill up the gas in the car."

“I’m almost out of gas myself.”

"Good night."

Li Zhuiyuan hung up the phone.

Zhao Yi, who was lying on the bed next to him, was looking at this side, supporting his head with his right hand and biting an apple with his left hand.

"Brother Liangliang, is that Xue Liangliang?"

"Ah."

"That guy might be acting. I remember that he made those two Corpse Gu Sect members stunned."

"Isn't it going to coax you too?"

"Oh, he can't fool me. I knew from the beginning that he was just an ordinary person, but he did work. It made me think that he might be a trap in your empty city plan."

"Oh."

"You asked him to buy you a car? You bought several cars? You even arranged bodyguards for him. Isn't the relationship between you two so deliberate and deep?"

"Brother Liangliang is not afraid of the influence of those small causes and effects."

Zhao Yi stopped chewing the apple, sat up, and said in astonishment:

"Is this guy that kind of person?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you introduce me to him earlier?"

"What's there to introduce? He's just an ordinary person."

"Do you know what it means to be able to make a sincere acquaintance with such a person when he is young?"

Li Zhuiyuan didn't reply, but picked up the cup of water on the bedside table and took a sip of water.

"We travel along the river to accumulate merit, but this kind of person is born to be protected by this!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi calmed down and said unhappily:
"Mr. Li, how come you always meet good people and good things?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't you have enough opportunities?"

Zhao Yi: "Alas, if I hadn't met you, I would really think that I was the chosen one."

"Ah."

"Hey, this 'hmm' sounds very comfortable to me."

Not everything went smoothly for Zhao Yi. In fact, he encountered many setbacks and crises. Some of these crises were triggered either passively or actively by Li Zhuiyuan. However, he was able to turn danger into safety in the end.

Li Zhuiyuan was a very cautious person, and the guy who he once regarded as a threat was able to successfully break away from that identity and now slept in the same bedroom with him.

"Forget it, don't think about it. Deliberately making friends with people like that will only bring you misfortune because they are scheming."

"what ever."

"Go to sleep. The rain may not stop tomorrow. I plan to go for a run in the mountains and find a deserted place to check the changes in my body."

"How do you feel about yourself?"

"It feels great. Those three sticks of incense really are equivalent to three opportunities. I benefited a lot from them. I must thank you for helping me survive."

"You're welcome. You're taking the bullet for everyone."

"I deliberately took advantage of the situation. My purpose was not so pure."

"There's something I want to tell you."

"Why did you wait until now to tell me?"

“Because it’s just a feeling.”

"You say it and I listen."

"I have some doubts about Mr. Zhai's identity."

"Ah?" Zhao Yi looked puzzled. "What happened to him? Actually, I checked him the first time I saw him. He was a normal living person. There was nothing wrong with him, right?"

"I didn't find out anything wrong, but it felt like I just wanted to put a question mark on his identity."

"Describe the feeling."

"In order to meet up with my teacher later, I deliberately avoided too much contact with him in the past two days. However, during these brief contacts, he gave me a different feeling. For example, when he spoke, he would often give seemingly correct answers, but in fact, he had another layer of interpretation.

A similar scene had happened many times in the past during my interactions with my great-grandfather.

My grandfather is blessed with good fortune, so even if I tell him directly about some crises, under the influence of his good fortune, he will be in a passive state, become confused, and deliberately avoid them.

My conversation with him would appear to be going on normally, but in reality it was not about the same thing at all.”

Zhao Yi showed an envious look on his face and said with emotion:
“Damn, I envy you for having so many references.

Why are all those old men in my family so unlucky? They always claim to be doing things for my own good, but they almost kill me.

Well, can you tell me more about it, such as which conversations?"

"When I was playing chess with him today, I asked him where he was from, and he said he was from Nanyang. I remember reading a report about him and remembering that he was from Xi'an.

Fearing that the report was wrong, I went to the bus where they stored the documents and looked for him, and found that his hometown was indeed Xi'an.

For this reason, I also specially talked to his disciples and learned that Mr. Zhai was an abandoned orphan, which ruled out the possibility of ancestral origin. "

Zhao Yi murmured: "Nanyang..."

Zhao Yi will also do a good job of the preliminary preparations, especially when he knows who he is going to meet this time.

He immediately thought of a related piece of information and said:
"The Yin family is from Xinye County, Nanyang Prefecture. Yin Lihua was born there."

The Yin family of Nanyang produced more than one queen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and could be considered true royal relatives.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Well, he also said that when he was a child he had an older sister who was very protective of him."

Zhao Yi: "But he is an orphan... Could he be a sister he met when he was wandering as a child?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The main thing is, when he mentioned this sister, none of the disciples around him who were watching us play chess had any strange reactions.

I also asked one of them and he said his teacher had never told him that he had a sister before. "

When Li Zhuiyuan was chatting with Mr. Zhai, he was not actually so perceptive. It was not until he discovered that an evil ghost was heading towards them that the young man "replayed" all the memories of his contact with Mr. Zhai in his mind and discovered the strangeness.

Zhao Yi: "No way, this is impossible, this is too absurd..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is just a guess about his identity. You should try to pay more attention to him in the future."

Zhao Yi: "Now that you've said that, it's hard for me not to pay attention."

The next day, it was still raining.

Devastated by the loss of his two young disciples, Mr. Zhai developed a severe fever and his consciousness became a little blurred.

His physical condition was so poor that we didn't dare let him sit on a tricycle and take him to the county hospital via a bumpy road. After all, the main road was still blocked and he couldn't move forward or backward. In the end, they could only call a doctor from the county hospital to come for a consultation.

However, when his disciples persuaded him not to go to Fengdu again, saying that his health was more important, and that he should stay here first or go back after the road was reopened, and find a hospital with good conditions to see a doctor and recuperate, Mr. Zhai reacted strongly. Although his words were vague, his attitude was firm. He must go to Fengdu!
Zhao Yi went out during the day to find a secluded place to examine himself.

Runsheng did not go out today. He was sitting in the yard of that family. From that angle, he could just see the second floor where Li Zhuiyuan lived.

Finally, it was Li Zhuiyuan who came over in the afternoon holding an umbrella and said he wanted to see Mengmeng's resting place.

Lin Shuyou also wanted to go and express his condolences.

But the boy had just woken up, and at that time he was busy combing the body of the owner of the house and could not get away.

A tent was set up in a blind spot under the cliff. That was where the Liang sisters lived.

When Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng came over, they heard the sound of talking and laughing inside.

After checking his physical changes, Zhao Yi came back, but he did not go back to the house directly. Instead, he came here to chat with the two sisters.

"So you're so ugly when you're old. When you're old, you can only light candles and can't turn on the lights. Otherwise, you can't see too clearly. Lighting candles can give you a little blurriness, so you can deceive yourself."

"So this place sags so much when you get old. You haven't even breastfed a child yet. Ouch, tsk tsk."

One extremely humiliating voice after another came from the tent, causing the two sisters to constantly retort.

Liang Yan: "You still need to light candles when you are old. I am afraid that wax will drip onto you and you won't even feel it."

Liang Li: "It's better for me to have sagging chest when I'm old than for you to have holes and sunken chest now."

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Zhao Yi was actually trying to please them, and he always knew what they wanted.

Although they had already made verbal promises and marriage certificates, in reality they were too vague. This kind of imaginary offense in the future could actually bring a sense of security to the two girls.

After all, this pair of sisters are not traditional and gentle people. The enemies who fall into their hands often end up in a very miserable way. Moreover, when they feel itchy, they will deliberately go out to fish for law enforcement and find someone to abuse.

Zhao Yi walked out of the tent, looked at Li Zhuiyuan, shrugged, and sighed.

He doesn't love them.

This sounds irresponsible, but he doesn't even love himself. He often uses his body and soul as a testing ground and is extremely cruel to himself.

He himself felt that he would never fall in love with anyone else in his life, at least, not the kind of love between men and women that ordinary people saw.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Yin Meng's grave. There was a temporary awning on top of it, and lilac flowers were planted underneath.

Zhao Yi smiled and explained, "They are both bored here, and they have nothing to do anyway."

Then, Zhao Yi looked at Runsheng again: "What kind of flowers does Yin Meng like?"

Runsheng: “Money to spend.”

Zhao Yi: "Then I'll go find some small landlord's tomb nearby, get some copper coins and silver from it, and put them on display for her?"

Runsheng: “Okay.”

After a pause, Runsheng said, "I found it. I'll go dig it up."

Zhao Yi shook his head: "No need, I will find a place, and the two of them can do it. The tomb should be small enough for them to go in and out. We also have to ensure that the tomb is not seriously damaged. When Yin Meng wakes up in the future, these funerary objects must be sent back intact, and then call the local cultural relics protection bureau to notify them.

Right, Mr. Li, I know this is your style."

Runsheng: "It's not Xiaoyuan's, it's Zhuangzhuang's."

When it comes to being a human being, Tan Wenbin has a complete and mature set of self-logic, and is particularly good at communicating with non-human things.

After bidding farewell to the two sisters, Zhao Yi and Li Zhuiyuan went back together.

All of Master Zhai's disciples are now in a state of worry and sadness. The younger brothers and sisters have met with accidents, and the teacher has fallen ill again. The entire team is really in a panic.

late at night.

Li Zhuiyuan sat up from the bed, and Zhao Yi followed him out of bed, leaving the room first.

When Li Zhuiyuan came out and walked to Master Zhai's room, the door was open. A disciple who was accompanying him in the room fell into a peaceful sleep after being hit by a knife.

There would be no problem if Zhao Yi took action. If it was Lin Shuyou who did it, Li Zhuiyuan would have to go out of his way to check that person's breath.

While closing the door, Li Zhuiyuan casually set up an isolation formation.

The two walked to the bedside and looked at Mr. Zhai who was still hooked to an IV.

Once people get older, common minor illnesses can easily lead to big problems. At this moment, the old man's face was pale and there was not much blood on his face.

Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi examined Mr. Zhai together. The young man was proficient in health preservation and pharmacology, while Zhao Yi was good at traditional and unconventional medical skills.

I would feel uneasy if I didn't check it carefully. What if I and others were protecting him from the little devils outside, but the old man himself got into an accident due to illness.

Zhao Yi: “This is a serious problem.”

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Zhao Yi: "I have to intervene."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then come on."

Zhao Yi took out his silver needle and prepared to give the acupuncture first.

As soon as the first silver needle was inserted, Mr. Zhai suddenly opened his eyes.

He was not looking at Zhao Yi and the young man beside the bed, but staring at the ceiling with his eyes, his hands tightly clenched the quilt, his upper body half lifted up, his whole body tense, veins exposed.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

There was a strange sound in his throat, and then he said:

"I'm going to flood Fengdu, I'm going to...flood the ghost town!"
