Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 288

Overhead, thick clouds passed by, gradually blocking the sun and casting shadows.

First, the Ksitigarbha Hall became dark, and then Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi, who were standing at the entrance of the hall, were all caught in the dark.

The wind also began to blow at this time, bringing not the precious coolness unique to summer, but waves of gloom.

This is the case with Fengdu scenic area. Even on a sunny day, it can make tourists feel cold all over.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I always thought we were self-aware enough, but the facts prove that our self-awareness is far from enough."

In the past, Li Zhuiyuan consciously defined himself as a knife, and recognized the necessity and inevitability of being this knife when he was still relatively weak.

But the problem is, even if it is used as a knife, the boy really didn't expect that there were not just one or two hands holding the handle of the knife... but even more.

It seems that everyone thinks they are useful and wants to borrow it, without paying attention to the queue and first come first served. They are so confused about the "knife" that they don't know who is wielding it.

Zhao Yi walked up to the young man and comforted him, "Think positively. When you are not strong enough, you will always need to face those who are stronger than you."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "What I'm thinking about is whether it's too late to wake up now."

Zhao Yi: "It shouldn't be considered. After all, although we have arrived at Fengdu, we have not yet entered the real Fengdu."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then there is still time to make adjustments."

Zhao Yi: "No, what I mean is, no matter who is driving this wave, we are not qualified to sit on the stage. Besides, we have finally come here, why not just let nature take its course?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you haven't woken up yet and are still kept in the dark, you should do this."

Zhao Yi: "It's rare to be confused, brother."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Go back to the car, do me a favor, I need to start this wave from the beginning and push it again."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "I'm not opposed to it. I'm just curious, what's the point of doing this?"

"Do you think that, as a knife, we don't actually have our own power?"

"At least for now."

"Having self-awareness is one of the values ​​of our sword."

Li Zhuiyuan did not go into the Ksitigarbha Hall to take a look, but returned directly the same way.

Zhao Yi stopped where he was.

When the boy got back into the car, Zhao Yi opened the door and jumped in. Before he even sat down, he couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Li, what is your real purpose in leaving Jiang?"

“Thinking too much about things before they are done is not only meaningless, but also a form of lazy escape.”

"You are avoiding my question because even you find it difficult to tell the answer? Or are you walking on the river just because you think it's fun and interesting?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'll lend you my brain."

The young man closed his eyes, and a scene emerged in his mind, with all of them sitting in his pickup truck and Chen Lin's car about to leave Nantong.

The next moment, the scene went backwards, and everyone's steps and actions began to play in reverse, until...

"Xiao Yuanhou, your phone number came~"

Aunt Zhang's high-pitched voice marked the beginning of this wave.

In the picture, Li Zhuiyuan picked up the phone and talked with Xue Liangliang.

"Xiao Yuan, there is a problem with a project somewhere. If you have time, I hope you can go and take a look..."

"Brother Liangliang, which project is this?"

"Fengdu."

On a real truck.

Zhao Yi lit a cigarette and took several deep puffs.

He extinguished the cigarette butt with his left hand and clenched it tightly. The gap between life and death in his chest turned rapidly. He placed his right hand on the boy's head and closed his eyes.

With Zhao Yi's participation, Li Zhuiyuan unceremoniously re-examined the memory scene and divided it into several parts.

When in Nantong and when leaving Nantong, you will face four generals and eight generals, three incense sticks, meet Zhai Lao, the ghost monk, and the evil spirits in the service area toilet.

In addition, the boy also retrieved the memory of the invisible eye contact with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at the end of the Undersea Zhenjun Temple.

In the driver's seat, Zhao Yi opened his mouth, a noise came out of his throat, and his closed eyelids kept trembling.

If it was just memory recall, the energy consumption would be extremely low, and both he and the boy could complete it easily. But the problem was that the boy brought along memory picture deduction this time.

Moreover, Zhao Yi discovered that this time Mr. Li focused on using his brain, which was kept for Mr. Li's own use.

After a long time, the deduction was completed.

Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes. Zhao Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with emotion:

"Mr. Li, you just stand up and kick other people's brains, right?"

"Hard."

"I say, you didn't have such a hard time when you were deducing the spell, did you?"

"Ah."

"Anything gained?"

"Have."

"Talk about it."

"It means assigning tasks."

"You decide. I'm alone now. How can I compete with you for the captain position?"

"Don't you disagree?"

"That's something we discussed beforehand. When we really have to do something, we don't have to think about anything else. You should know why I resisted beforehand."

"You are very lucky. If this wave was not driven by the Great Emperor but by the Bodhisattva, then along with the Great Emperor's defeat, the 'curse' that the Great Emperor imposed on you and your entire clan could be resolved."

“To be precise, if we are pushed to target the emperor this time... the outcome of the victory or loss is bound to my entire clan, then I will feel more at ease.

But I found that Mr. Li, your position is not on the side of the Bodhisattva. "

"I reject immortality because none of the 'immortals' I've seen have had a good ending. I like to judge by the results."

"Then the Bodhisattva and the Great Emperor..."

“From an absolutely biased personal standpoint, I have seen how people who followed and believed in the Bodhisattva were abandoned by the Bodhisattva.

But I relied on my real but unnamed inheritance relationship with the emperor and threw a lot of dirty water on him. The emperor just showed his anger...

If this wave was indeed not driven by the Great Emperor, it means that the Great Emperor has not actually punished me yet.

Shouldn't we have a stand?"

In fact, there is another reason, which is not convenient to tell others and is not suitable to be used as an excuse. That is, in Sun Baishen’s memory, Li Zhuiyuan saw Wei Zhengdao’s evaluation of the Bodhisattva, which was very negative.

Zhao Yi: "You are actively increasing the variables of this wave."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Are we going to assign tasks?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes. It's the same thing. I've seen with my own eyes how much benefit people around you can get. Mr. Li, you have always been generous. This is your reputation, just like your choice between the emperor and the bodhisattva."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You should go back to the auspicious acupuncture point where the three incense sticks are. You must have regretted not being able to have a good chat with the tomb owner. Now, I will give you this chance."

Zhao Yi: "Should we wait or act in advance? You should at least arrange the tasks in a little more detail."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's up to you. I trust your ability."

Zhao Yi: "Thank you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You still have to carry people."

Zhao Yi: "Which one?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Runsheng, drop him off in the town where we stayed before."

"clear."

Zhao Yi started the car, drove the truck out of the parking lot, drove down, and came to the door of the previous unit. Li Zhuiyuan got out of the car.

Two security guards came over with an impatient look on their faces and wanted to continue driving the car. Zhao Yi didn't wait for them to come over. He drove the car down, avoided their sight, and stopped at an open space on the side of the road.

Not long after, Runsheng came over and got in the car.

Zhao Yi: “Let’s go.”

Runsheng: “Yeah.”

Zhao Yi: "Aren't you curious about why we have to go back?"

Runsheng: "I'm not curious. Xiaoyuan asked me to go back, so I went back."

Zhao Yi: "Runsheng, please do me a favor."

Runsheng: "Speak."

Zhao Yi: "Please help me take care of the sisters. If conditions permit, don't watch them die."

Runsheng: “Yeah.”

Li Zhuiyuan had just answered the phone. Luo Gong and Xue Liangliang had already taken a taxi in the county town and would be meeting here soon.

He sat alone on a bench outside the unit's conference room, waiting quietly.

Inside, Mr. Zhai and his colleagues were holding a meeting to discuss the situation.

There are a lot of people coming and going in the corridor, but the teenager sitting here will not arouse suspicion. It is very common nowadays to bring children to the workplace.

As adults, Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou can only sit on the roof of the conference room.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, Three Eyes and Runsheng, why do you want to go back?"

Tan Wenbin: "Why do you want to go back?"

Lin Shuyou: “Yeah.”

Tan Wenbin: "If we don't get here, then the things that follow won't happen. This is a necessary process."

Lin Shuyou: "Oh, I think I understand a little bit, Brother Bin, can you explain it in more detail?"

Tan Wenbin: "Ahyou, do you know why I spoke to you in such general terms?"

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, do you want me to think for myself?"

Tan Wenbin: "No, it's because I don't really understand it either."

……

After entering Fengdu, Luo Tingrui and Xue Liangliang got off the bus and took a taxi.

The woman also came down. Xue Liangliang said that her home was very close to the unit they were going to, so they could continue on their way.

Luo Tingrui nodded and said what a coincidence, while insisting on helping the woman get a taxi. After telling the driver the address and paying the fare in advance, he signaled the driver to drive away first.

Xue Liangliang could only stand outside and watch the woman say goodbye through the car window.

Luo Tingrui sighed and did not rush to hail a second car. Instead, he took out a cigarette box and a lighter. He had been following a pregnant woman on the way and had not been able to smoke comfortably.

The more I smoke, the more my brows frown.

He didn't understand. Liangliang was such a smart man. The girl had already said that her home was very close to her workplace. How dare you take the same car with her to take her home?

The woman spoke very little on the road, and Luo Tingrui slept most of the time, so he didn't hear much about the woman's background, and he didn't know whether the home in Fengdu that the woman returned to was her husband's home or her own home.

If it's the woman's family's home, and you're accompanying her back, are you planning on claiming the baby in the woman's belly?

If it were my husband's family...how dare you go there!

"Teacher, can I take a taxi?"

"Liangliang."

"Ok?"

"Liangliang!"

"Teacher, tell me."

"As for your work, I am very satisfied with you. Among my former students, you are the only one who can stand on his own when he is your age."

"I am very grateful for your cultivation, teacher."

"But you have to pay attention to problems in your personal life, nip them in the bud, and keep your guard up."

"teacher……"

"It may not seem to have a big impact now, but if you want to continue to move forward and want to play a greater role and realize your inner ambitions, then it will become a huge hidden danger for you."

"Yes, I understand, teacher. I will keep your teachings in mind."

Seeing Xue Liangliang's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Luo Tingrui couldn't help but soften his heart. The main reason was that he really liked this young man whom he had personally trained. His wife even said that their daughter looked like a foster child and Liangliang was his biological child, and he didn't refute it.

"Liangliang, there are some things that the teacher can understand."

Even Luo Tingrui had to admit that the woman was indeed very beautiful, especially her temperament, which was really rare in modern times.

"teacher……"

"Everyone has the freedom to pursue personal happiness, but you have to make sure first whether the person is divorced."

"she……"

"How long have you known each other? Wasn't it your first meeting on the train? Do you believe everything she says?"

"I……"

"Besides, what do you want to do with the baby in your belly? You are still young, and you are not at the stage of considering becoming a stepfather."

"Teacher, I am determined to follow you..."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this matter. We are teacher and student, not father and son. Some things should be left to your parents to deal with. I won't share the burden."

Xue Liangliang opened his mouth, but finally nodded in agreement.

Patting his beloved disciple on the shoulder, Luo Tingrui encouraged him: "Cheer up, put aside your personal emotions, and face your work. You should know how many people and families are involved in this project. Many people have paid a lot, and we have to be responsible for their efforts."

"I understand, teacher."

Luo Tingrui stopped a taxi, got in, told the driver the address, and said, "Hurry up, master."

Then, Luo Tingrui was about to ask Xue Liangliang about the contact with Xiaoyuan, but the next moment, the taxi shot out with a "buzz" sound like an arrow from a bow.

It’s okay if it’s just a bolt of thunder out of the blue, but racing in the mountains is really thrilling.

Luo Tingrui had no choice but to hold on to the handle above the car window and tense his body.

Soon, the destination was reached.

The driver tapped the steering wheel and asked, "How is it? Is it going fast?"

Luo Tingrui: "Quick."

After the two got off the car, Xue Liangliang paid the fare, and then the driver drove away slowly.

A foreign accent and the desire to drive fast are like stimulants to a taxi driver.

After tidying up his clothes and hair, Luo Tingrui took Xue Liangliang into the unit.

Just like when Mr. Zhai and his companions came before, Luo Tingrui's arrival also attracted many people to greet him, and there were more people and they were more enthusiastic.

"Xiaoyuan."

Luo Tingrui spotted the young man in the crowd at a glance, walked up to him, touched him affectionately, and looked at him.

Then he nodded to Lin Shuyou and Tan Wenbin who were standing behind Li Zhuiyuan.

After a brief greeting, everyone went to the meeting room together.

When he knocked on the door and entered, Mr. Zhai turned sideways and took off his glasses.

Luo Tingrui took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Mr. Zhai.

"Mr. Zhai, you have worked hard."

"I'm old now, so I need to use my bones more while I can still move them." As he said this, Master Zhai introduced the disciples around him and made referrals.

Halfway through the introduction, Master Zhai turned his head and looked at the young man standing behind Luo Tingrui, but he did not rush to ask questions. Instead, he paused and introduced all his disciples.

Luo Tingrui also introduced his students. When he introduced the young boy, Mr. Zhai smiled, and the disciples behind him also looked surprised.

Mr. Zhai bent down and pinched Li Zhuiyuan's face:
"Little guy, you are really good at keeping secrets. Come on, show your surprise to grandpa and tell him you didn't expect that grandpa is also in this line of work?"

Li Zhuiyuan smiled shyly.

Luo Tingrui asked: "Mr. Zhai, do you know him?"

Mr. Zhai nodded and said, "I met him on the road, but I didn't know he was your student. I thought he was really in elementary school."

Luo Tingrui: "Hahaha, don't blame the kid. He told me that he met a respected senior on the road. I told him to keep it a secret because I was afraid that my precious baby would be stolen by others in the future."

Mr. Zhai knew that Luo Tingrui was trying to smooth things over. If he had really reported it, he would not have asked whether he knew the person.

However, the old man was not angry. He had always been optimistic about this kid and was thinking about whether he could introduce him to this industry in the future. Who would have thought that the kid had actually been in this industry for a long time.

When I thought about how I once advised him to study hard, well, I was advising a top scorer in the college entrance examination to study hard.

Mr. Zhai said to Li Zhuiyuan: "Follow your teacher and study hard. Your teacher's ability is recognized by our industry."

Luo Tingrui: "We should learn from each other and learn from many schools. Come, everyone, take a seat and continue the meeting. I have told the host that we will not have lunch alone. I asked them to send a plate over so that we can talk while we eat."

"Well, it's my duty. Come, please take a seat."

Both parties took their seats and several speakers continued to give their reports, while Mr. Zhai leaned against Luo Tingrui and told him the noteworthy points from the previous meeting.

Li Zhuiyuan and Xue Liangliang were sorting out the documents on their desks while listening to the report. Tan Wenbin was taking notes of the meeting. After sitting for a while, Lin Shuyou went to help distribute lunch boxes.

This was the first time that Li Zhuiyuan had been involved in such a large project. Strictly speaking, all of the people present here, including this classified department, were only the tip of the iceberg of this large project. There were so many aspects involved.

The meeting lasted until dusk, with people constantly joining in. More people would come in the evening, and the small conference hall could not accommodate them all, so they had to move to the large conference hall.

Dinner is still a boxed lunch, but there is an extra hour of break, mainly to wait for subsequent participants.

Some meetings are held just for the sake of holding the meeting after the time and place are set in advance, while others are held because specific people are coming.

Li Zhuiyuan was holding a box lunch and Xue Liangliang was holding two, and the two walked to a secluded terrace.

The woman emerged.

Xue Liangliang smiled at Li Zhuiyuan. The woman was behind Xue Liangliang, avoiding his sight, and bowed gently to Li Zhuiyuan.

The three of them sat on the ground and started eating.

The woman picked up the meat from her lunch box and gave it to Xue Liangliang.

Xue Liangliang: "You eat too."

Woman: "I have enough. It would be a waste if I can't eat more."

Xue Liangliang: "Come, I'll feed you. Even though it's in a box lunch, it's made by a local master chef."

Woman: "The food here is really delicious."

The two of them are in love, and the woman is also interested.

Li Zhuiyuan ate his meal silently. The young man knew that there was no way the Queen of the Bai family needed to eat.

However, the boy also realized that the two of them were now cherishing and experiencing this normal life as a couple.

After finishing the meal, Li Zhuiyuan said to the woman:

"It's time for you to go back."

The escort mission ends here.

Although the woman was reluctant, she did not look at Xue Liangliang, but nodded quickly in response:
"Yes."

Xue Liangliang swallowed his saliva and endured it, neither begging for mercy nor trying to keep him.

"Let me take the lunch box away, you guys chat."

The woman put the three people's lunch boxes together, took one last look at Xue Liangliang, bowed to Li Zhuiyuan again, then turned and left. Her figure gradually disappeared in the corridor and turned into nothingness.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Liangliang, it will be dangerous for her to stay here."

Xue Liangliang nodded: "Xiaoyuan, I understand."

Li Zhuiyuan had no control over the situation in Fengdu. It was really inappropriate to leave a pregnant woman here.

The two walked side by side, slowly towards the conference hall.

Xue Liangliang: "Xiaoyuan, you must be careful. If you need any help, just tell me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I will, Brother Liangliang."

Xue Liangliang: "The few days I spent away from home this time are the happiest memories I have had in these years."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Treaties are meant to be torn up."

Xue Liangliang's face immediately turned red.

At the beginning, he would rather die than surrender and fought hard to get a treaty that stipulated that they would only meet once in a certain period of time. He thought that this treaty was to restrict the Lady of the Bai family, but it turned out to restrict himself.

Xue Liangliang: "I didn't think so before, but now I find that people's thoughts are really different at different ages."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you feel that you have changed a lot?"

Xue Liangliang: "So this highlights the value of idealism. It is the only thing that never fades and can illuminate every stage of your life."

There were even more people in the large conference room, and many of them were dirty because they had just returned from frontline surveys.

Although Luo Tingrui and Mr. Zhai have the highest status in the industry, the discussion still gradually became tense. Moreover, most of them were smoking pipes, so the air was filled with smoke. If you didn't know better, you would really think a war had started.

The meeting ended at three in the morning, not only because a lot of consensus had been reached, but also because everyone was sleepy. Many dirty people were already snoring against the wall.

The guesthouse is right next to the unit, with a great view. It faces the ghost town scenic area. If you open the window at night and take a few more glances, you will have material for nightmares at night.

Tan Wenbin was rubbing his wrists vigorously there. He was really recording everything from beginning to end.

Lin Shuyou first drank the water in the thermos in his room, then ran to Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin's room to continue pouring water.

Tan Wenbin: "Ayou, are you so thirsty?"

Lin Shuyou: "Yeah, I'm dying of thirst."

Tan Wenbin: "Weren't you busy pouring tea?"

Lin Shuyou: "I was so busy that I didn't even have time to drink a sip."

Tan Wenbin: "Haha, you are not a silkworm farmer anymore."

After Lin Shuyou drank another large pot of tea, he asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

The last time Xiaoyuan came to Fengdu, he was not in the team.

Tan Wenbin: "I can stay and watch."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Then let's go to the ghost street."

Lin Shuyou happily followed Li Zhuiyuan out of the guesthouse.

At this time, Ghost Street has long been quiet, but Ghost Street at this time has the most atmosphere.

During the day, there is a constant hustle and bustle of life and the sound of hawking is too strong, so ghosts come out to wander at night.

Lin Shuyou looked around curiously as he walked: "Did Yin Meng live here before?"

Li Zhuiyuan walked to a shop and stopped. The sign on the shop had been changed to a clothing store. Originally, this was the coffin shop opened by Yin Meng.

When leaving Fengdu, Yin Meng sold all the coffins left in his home to his neighbors at a discount and gave up the lease of the shop.

At that time, Tan Wenbin suggested that even if the shop was closed, it could be closed here. The rent was not expensive anyway, and this way, when he came back in the future, he would have something to think about. After all, this was not only a shop, but also Yin Meng's home.

But Yin Meng's attitude was very firm. She insisted on canceling the lease. I don't know whether Yin Meng regretted it later, but at that time, she must have been eager to escape from here.

At this moment, Lin Shuyou's face became serious.

He noticed that there was a dark shadow approaching from behind him.

When Ah You just woke up from a serious injury, he was so weak that he couldn't even defeat two evil spirits, but after waking up, his companions' injuries recovered quickly.

Because as long as the spirit beast in Tan Wenbin's body and the boy in Lin Shuyou's body are revived, they can find ways to speed up the healing process.

In addition, Zhao Yi kept taking out the "last one" like a magic trick.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand, signaling Lin Shuyou not to act rashly.

Lin Shuyou suppressed his breath and did not open his vertical pupils.

The dark figure wore a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat, but the room was empty.

It seemed very curious. After approaching, it looked at Lin Shuyou and the young man, and then walked to the door of the shop.

"Squeak..."

A door panel was removed from the inside.

The black shadow took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it into the water tank that was placed in front of almost every store here. The copper coin floated on the water without any sign of sinking.

A faint light seeped out from the shop.

The shadow walked in.

Then, a pretty woman's face popped out, and she was surprised to see two living people standing here at this time.

She held out her hand and waved it, as if testing whether they could see it.

Lin Shuyou stared with his eyes fixed, as if he really couldn't see.

He felt that he had performed very well and did not reveal any flaws.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "I'm thirsty, I want to go in and ask for a glass of water."

The pretty woman hesitated for a moment, nodded, removed a door panel to expand the opening area, and motioned for him to come in.

Li Zhuiyuan walked in.

The pretty woman asked, "Is the person behind you blind?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “No.”

The pretty woman looked puzzled. After they came in, she put the door panel back in place to block out the outside.

Lin Shuyou asked curiously, "Brother Xiaoyuan, why did she say I was blind?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "She is a living person. A living person is waving in front of you. Why are you pretending not to see it?"

Lin Shuyou: “…”

The decoration inside the shop has not changed, even the original counter has been retained.

The inner room, which was originally where Yin Meng placed the coffin, was now filled with several rows of clothes hangers, with a lot of clothes and hats hanging on them.

From the perspective of a clothing store, the inventory is obviously insufficient. It doesn't seem like a store that is rented specifically to sell clothes, but rather like a deliberate cover.

Sitting behind the counter was a thin man with a normal upper body and shrunken legs. He was currently sitting cross-legged on a chair, facing the dark figure in a straw raincoat. They must be having a secret conversation.

Li Zhuiyuan did not deliberately listen to the content of the other party's conversation. After sitting down on the bench next to him, he reached out to take the tea handed to him by the pretty woman and said thank you.

After the business was concluded, the shadow stood up and left, and the pretty woman went to open the door for it.

The man opened his eyes, looking tired, and forced a polite smile, then asked:
"May I ask you two, what brings you here?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I want to come in and take a look when I revisit the old place."

Man: "Are you the original owners of this shop?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It belongs to my friend."

Man: "So that's how it is. We are in the ghost business. When we were choosing a stall at night, we found that there were always ghosts lingering in front of this shop. It happened that this shop was closed, so we went to the street and rented it.

As you can see, business is pretty good.”

The most important thing for opening a shop and doing business is the flow of people. This shop is located in the middle of Ghost Street, which is a very bad location, because no matter what business you do, as long as the business is good, there will be shops at the beginning and end to intercept your traffic.

Of course, Yin Meng’s business was not good in the past... but it had little to do with the location of the shop. Which tourist would buy a coffin to take home while shopping?
When Grandpa Yin Meng opened the coffin shop in his early years, business should have been good, but the old man did not expect that with the development of the county and the rise of tourism, this place would become a tourist street.

However, human flow is not allowed, but ghost flow here is allowed.

This is due to the fact that even when Grandpa Yin Meng was unconscious in the coffin, he would still go out to do business at night. Over the years, he accumulated ghost energy and formed a good reputation.

The man began to introduce himself. His surname was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Chi. His sister was Zhang Xiuxiu, and the brother and sister were from Fuling.

The Zhang family used to make a living by fortune-telling, but several generations in a row had disabilities, some were born with disabilities, or suffered from rare diseases in adulthood.

After hearing this, Li Zhuiyuan could basically confirm that there must be a generation in the Zhang family who broke the rules.

In fact, fortune-telling will not bring about divine punishment, and revealing the secrets of heaven is not a big deal. Li Zhuiyuan is good at this, and it has almost become a habit for him to look at the face of a stranger first when he sees him.

What will really backfire is that your purpose of leaking the secret is to benefit yourself. People are greedy by nature, especially for capable people, this greed is basically difficult to control.

But if you profit from it, the law of nature will make you pay it back double. It may not punish you, but it will make your descendants be born with original sin.

But even though they know this, there is never a shortage of people who violate taboos in this industry. If you eliminate those incompetent scammers, those who really know the tricks are basically "imperfect". Gradually, a stereotype has been formed, and ordinary people think that if you are not blind or disabled, you are incompetent.

Zhang Chi did not perform a formal ceremony to introduce himself, so Li Zhuiyuan simply responded with the names of the two of them without making any further comments.

Li Zhuiyuan originally intended to just sit for a while and revisit the old place, so he decided to leave. He could go back and sleep for a while before dawn because he had a meeting tomorrow morning.

But just as they stood up and prepared to leave, Zhang Chi spoke up to dissuade them, "You two should wait a little longer. It's not appropriate to leave now."

Lin Shuyou: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Chi: "If ordinary people go out for a walk at night now, it's fine, but you two can see those things. If you go out now, you will be easily affected."

Zhang Xiuxiu looked up at the wall clock and said, "Brother, it's time. It's time to come."

Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and said to his sister, "Xiu Xiu, push me over."

The stool under him was a wooden wheelchair. Xiuxiu pushed him out from behind the counter, walked to the door, helped her brother out of the wheelchair, and found a cushion for him to kneel down on.

Immediately afterwards, Xiuxiu set up the altar, put candlesticks and braziers on it, and placed it inside the shop threshold.

After doing all this, Zhang Xiuxiu looked up and stared at the clock.

There was the sound of orderly footsteps on the street outside.

Zhang Chi: “Coming.”

Xiuxiu immediately went to remove the door panel, then stepped back and knelt beside her brother.

The footsteps on the street were getting closer and closer. Even though Li Zhuiyuan didn't go into hiding, he could still hear the faint music and gongs.

In addition, even if you stand inside the store, you can see several candle flames shining in front and behind, which means that there are many ghost shops like Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi turned around and said to Li Zhuiyuan, "If you two want to see it, kneel down. If you don't want to kneel, please go back to the inner room, otherwise, it will cause trouble."

As he spoke, Zhang Chi took out two more cushions from his side and placed them behind him.

He probably thought that the two guests would be willing to kneel down.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the two guests retreated to the inner room.

Zhang Chi was slightly stunned, but without thinking much, he adjusted his posture and lowered his head.

The footsteps were approaching, and soon, people in uniform robes, lined up in two teams, walked down the street.

They all had pale faces, so pale that their facial features became an extremely unharmonious burden on their faces.

Then, a large sedan appeared, and "people" dressed in different styles of clothes were carrying it. A curtain above it swayed slightly, and sitting on it was an unknown noble from the underworld.

Although he retreated to the inner room, he could still see the scene outside through the gaps in his clothes.

Lin Shuyou asked: "Brother Xiaoyuan, is this a regular show at Fengdu Ghost Street every night?"

Ayou thinks that if it is like this every night, it is really worthwhile for tourists to travel to Fengdu.

There are live performances during the day and ghost parades at night. There is almost no break in the program all day long.

Li Zhuiyuan: “No.”

The last time Li Zhuiyuan came, he didn't encounter this situation, and it wasn't a temple fair day recently.

Besides, last time, Yin Meng’s grandfather was the only one running a haunted shop on the entire street.

This time, not only did this appear at night, but the number of ghost shops also increased a lot.

This shows that during this period, the customer flow here is sufficient, otherwise it would not be able to support so many ghost shops.

Round after round of teams passed by, and each round had a main seat, either riding in a sedan chair or a sedan chair, or simply on a large table. Some of the nobles on it were difficult to see clearly, as if they did not want to show up, and those who could be seen clearly were often strange.

Lin Shuyou read it with great interest.

His hometown already has a tradition of parading gods, and there are many similar activities, but they are all performed by people, with the actors acting in unison, setting up stages and niches. But that is just an imitation of human activities, how can it be so authentic?
Of course, this is Fengdu, so such a situation is understandable.

If a night parade of hundreds of demons on this scale happened in my hometown, wouldn’t the officials and generals be extremely busy?
"Click... click... click..."

Although the friction sound was a bit ethereal, it was clearly metallic in texture. Moreover, unlike the orderly footsteps of the team in front, it was now very messy.

After a while, when a new round of troops appeared, there was a group of soldiers leading the way on both sides.

They were all damaged armor with holes all over them. The soldiers inside were the same as those in front, with pale faces and uneven pace when they marched.

The one in the middle of the team was not carried by anyone this time. Instead, he rode on a horse by himself. He had an upright posture and an imposing manner, but he had no head.

Moreover, as the team advances, these soldiers in armor will break away from the team and run to both sides.

The candle flames outside also flickered, which should be because several haunted shops had received goods.

Two ghost soldiers stopped at the door of the clothing store, left the team, and walked in.

Zhang Chi was not surprised by this scene. He signaled his sister to start burning paper.

Xiuxiu lit the paper money and placed it in the brazier.

But the two ghosts were not satisfied and still stood in front of the Zhang brothers and sisters. One of them even leaned his extremely pale face towards Xiuxiu.

Zhang Chi: "Xiu Xiu, provide more."

Xiuxiu responded, took out a bottle, and poured the red liquid in it into the brazier. Immediately there was a "sizzling" sound, and a wisp of gray mist rose.

The two ghosts began to suck fiercely, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on their pale faces.

But they still didn't move away.

The previous blood should be animal blood, it can be chicken blood or cow blood, wrapped in incense ash and left to stand.

If ordinary paper money is compared to white rice, then this one with added ingredients is equivalent to fried rice, which would be more enjoyable.

However, ordinary people don’t need to do these things when performing sacrifices. If they don’t understand the formula and add blood without authorization, it is easy to stimulate the originally gentle ghosts to become ferocious.

The two ghosts in front of him were not provoked to become vicious, they were just too greedy and not satisfied.

Zhang Chi: "Xiu Xiu, pour the wine."

In fact, there was wine on the altar, but it was ordinary wine.

Xiuxiu took out another bottle, pulled out the cork, and poured the wine on the ground in front of her.

From the perspective of the Yin, the alcohol vapor that should have fallen downwards went against the trend and was inhaled by the two ghosts.

The ghost's body began to shake, and a blush appeared on his pale face.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi felt relieved, thinking he had dealt with it.

But who would have thought that after "drinking" the wine, one of the ghosts would put his face even closer to Xiuxiu and sniff at her, as if he was trying to absorb something.

The other ghost ignored Xiuxiu and instead moved towards Zhang Chi and made the same move in front of Zhang Chi.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan, what does this mean?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little ghosts."

The headless general riding on the horse had no interest in getting off the horse to do anything, but he also did not control his ghost soldiers to collect tributes.

Most of the shops on Ghost Street are run by ordinary people, and many people regard the shops as their homes. However, the ghosts only harass the ghost shops and do not offend ordinary people.

This means that the order in Fengdu is still there.

They know what they can do and what they must not do.

But correspondingly, extortion and taking advantage of ghost shops has become an unspoken rule.

First, those who can open ghost shops are not considered ordinary people;

Second, if the ghost shop wants to continue its business, it cannot offend them. Even if it is extremely reluctant, it still has to curry favor with them and show respect to them.

On this point, both the underworld and the world of the living are connected.

It would be cheaper in the world of the living. If it doesn't work out, you can just quit. But those who run shops in the underworld don't seek wealth but good deeds. For example, Zhang Chi hopes that his condition will not worsen, and he also hopes that his sister will not develop the same strange disease as him.

With this need, their tolerance is higher.

But no matter how much tolerance there is, there is a limit.

The ghost in front of Xiuxiu obviously wanted to flirt with her. Although it had no physical body, it could still create fantasy and illusions.

For example, when sleep paralysis occurs in some specific situations, you don’t know what the ghost is doing on you.

Xiuxiu's body gradually fell backwards, she clenched her teeth, clenched her hands, and anger flashed in her eyes.

Zhang Chi bit his lip and reached for his sleeves.

This store has been open for quite some time. In the beginning, there weren't any demons parading in front of the door at night, but later on, when they did, everyone was able to deal with it. It was nothing more than showing some superficial respect and getting rid of them.

If you encounter greedy ones coming in, take out the offerings you have prepared in advance. Basically, after eating the offerings, they will leave quickly and will not do anything excessive again.

But tonight, there was an exception.

They, they are so greedy.

Zhang Chi looked at his sister. He couldn't possibly watch her being humiliated. It didn't matter whether it was a ghost or not. Since he could see ghosts, he couldn't deceive himself by saying that it didn't matter if ghosts were not human beings.

Xiuxiu was also forcing herself to endure it, constantly glancing at her brother out of the corner of her eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan, this is too much, should we take action?"

Lin Shuyou, who has a simple sense of justice, naturally cannot stand this classic plot of "bandits molesting decent women".

Li Zhuiyuan: "Wait for them to make the first move. Otherwise, if you make the move, they will blame you for not making the move, and it will make it difficult for them to continue their business."

Lin Shuyou nodded immediately. He felt that what Brother Xiaoyuan said was right.

Li Zhuiyuan actually wanted to take the initiative to throw a stone in to explore the reasons for the changes in Fengdu. At this time, he naturally had to find the entry point himself.

This Night Parade of a Hundred Demons seemed like a grand event, but up to now, the young man hadn’t sensed the presence of even one person who could be considered a big shot.

For example, the headless general riding a horse outside, judging from his ghostly aura, is much worse than the ghost general he met when he just left home.

This group of guys should not be the local force of the underworld, but more like ghosts from outside who came here in groups to pay homage.

At that time, the Emperor of Fengdu could make the ghosts thousands of miles away run to him and kill their families with just one decree. It can be seen that although the emperor is enthroned in Fengdu, his influence is far-reaching.

The ghost kept pressing down, and Xiuxiu continued to lean back. Just when she was about to collapse, Zhang Chi was ready to take out the ruler from his sleeve and fight the ghost desperately...

The ghost soldier who had been sniffing in front of Zhang Chi but was ignored by Zhang Chi stood up and kicked the ghost soldier in front of Xiuxiu. There was red light in his eyes, as if venting some dissatisfaction.

The ghost was kicked over and Xiuxiu was able to escape from his clutches.

Zhang Chi held the ruler in his hand and did not pull it out. He did not quite understand the situation.

The two ghosts stared at each other without saying anything, but they seemed to be arguing, like a pantomime.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan, what happened to them? Did the other one have a change of heart?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "One is unbalanced and feels that he has not found the person he likes, so he does not want the other to be happy."

Lin Shuyou: “Object?”

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't like Zhang Chi."

Lin Shuyou: "Ghosts actually have this kind of hobby?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Aren't ghosts humans before they were alive? If humans exist, ghosts cannot exist?"

Lin Shuyou scratched his head: "This, I really didn't pay attention to it before."

In the past, whenever Lin Shuyou encountered a ghost, he would shout “Evil ghost, kill it, don’t let it go~” and then possess his spirit to kill the ghost, never giving the ghost a chance to reveal its unique habits.

After the two ghosts were in a stalemate, they suddenly looked towards the inner room together.

Zhang Chi had previously told Li Zhuiyuan and the other man to go to the inner room if they did not intend to kneel.

Because even if those ghosts come in, they won’t go to the inner room.

There is a gray area here. The inner room can be understood as a residential shop where ordinary people live in the surrounding area and should not be violated. However, the right to interpret the gray area is not in the hands of the shop owner himself. The inner room of a ghost shop... can also be considered as part of the ghost shop.

The two ghost soldiers' "gaze" wandered over.

If a normal person were stared at like this by a ghost while walking on the road at night, his hair would stand on end.

Lin Shuyou immediately closed his eyes to prevent his vertical pupils from opening directly due to stimulation.

At this time, the ghost who had been sniffing in front of Zhang Chi walked towards the inner room.

Its body passed through the clothes blocking its way, and its gaze fell on Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou, who had just calmed down his vertical pupil instinct, opened his eyes and saw the ghost standing in front of him staring at him, puzzled:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, what does this mean?"

"It's attracted to you."

Lin Shuyou: “…”

The ghost soldiers naturally had no way of seeing the White Crane Boy hidden in Lin Shuyou's body, but on the one hand, the outstanding official general and the chief medium were naturally attractive to the Yin body, otherwise they would not be able to accept the arrival of the Yin God; secondly, after Lin Shuyou's body was transformed by the boy, the body of the True Lord, even if it was just the external manifestation, was enough for the Yin body to regard it as a breeding ground.

Of course, the most important thing is that, apart from his Mandarin with a slight accent, the book friend himself is indeed handsome.

The ghost opened his mouth and stretched his tongue down to his neck, moving closer to Lin Shuyou step by step.

Now, it was Lin Shuyou's turn to look at Li Zhuiyuan with a look of help.

Xiuxiu and Zhang Chi also turned around and saw the situation in the inner room. Xiuxiu looked anxious, while Zhang Chi lowered his head after seeing clearly what would happen next.

He was struggling, struggling whether to save her or not, but since he had chosen to struggle, he would definitely not save her next time. His struggle at this moment was just to ease his conscience.

Li Zhuiyuan would definitely not be angry with him. They were just casual acquaintances and had just met and chatted for a while. No normal person would offend others and make his store unable to operate in order to protect them from being humiliated.

After all, not everyone is Lin Shuyou.

However, Li Zhuiyuan still felt that Zhang Chi’s choice was stupid. After this ghost soldier found his ideal partner, who could guarantee that another ghost soldier would not go back and continue to harass Xiuxiu?

They are all people from the Xuanmen who can see ghosts. If he really wants to protect his sister, he might as well take action now. At least he can have two more "unskilled" helpers and try his luck.

This is the option that maximizes benefits.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's do it."

Lin Shuyou opened his vertical pupils, stretched out his hand, grabbed the ghost's neck and twisted it. "Click", although it had no substance, it made a sound effect. For Bai He, this kind of ghost was really a perfect toy.

The next moment, Lord Baihe turned his palm downwards and moved his fingertips, causing the ghost with a broken neck to shrink its body upwards and be quickly squeezed and consumed. Before its soul flew away, Lord Zhenjun let it experience the joy of grinding its bones and scattering its ashes.

This is enough to show that the white crane that was previously in Ayou's body was also extremely disgusted.

The former Ghost King was actually coveted by this kind of mixed-haired male ghost. If this news were to get out, he, Bai He, would become the biggest joke in the ghost world.

The other ghost who was still in the house was shocked by this scene. Not only did he not expect that the person who had always been submissive in the ghost shop would dare to fight back, but he also did not expect that the other party would deal with his companion so simply and straightforwardly.

Lord Baihe took a step forward, condensed a phantom of a trident in his hand and threw it forward.

"puff……"

The trident pierced into the ghost's body. It opened its mouth, but before it could scream, dense holes appeared on its body, and with a "bang", it collapsed.

Xiuxiu opened her mouth in astonishment. If she had resisted before, she could only fight with the ghosts, but this man could easily kill the ghosts.

Zhang Chi's eyes widened and he suddenly felt a strong sense of regret in his heart. He even wanted to slap himself twice, wondering why he didn't just pull out the ruler to help them beat the ghosts.

He was now certain that the two guests who came to his house today must be of extraordinary status. If he could establish friendship with them, the benefits to him would be absolutely unimaginable.

Now, is it too late?

No, it’s not too late!
His blood immediately boiled over, and Zhang Chi was ready to pull out the ruler to make amends.

But at this moment, the headless general riding on horseback outside turned towards this side.

A terrible resentment swept into the store, instantly extinguishing the blood that had just risen in Zhang Chi's brain. Zhang Chi shrank back and still could not pull out the ruler.

The ghosts outside began to gather at the door of the store.

Zhang Chi's body was shaking.

When Li Zhuiyuan and White Crane Master came over here, Zhang Chi buried his head very deeply.

He now had very complicated feelings. On the one hand, he felt that the headless ghost outside was very powerful, and there were so many ghost soldiers, as well as the huge scale of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons outside. To resist here was simply to seek death. On the other hand, he was extremely worried, fearing that the other party would really be able to survive. In addition to this, he also hoped that the other party would leave his store as soon as possible and take the trouble caused by "them" out of the store.

Li Zhuiyuan and Baihe Zhenjun did not stop and walked straight out of the store.

Although Runsheng and the others are not here, it is enough to have Master Baihe who is eager to "go on a killing spree" by his side.

Furthermore,
Although this is Fengdu,
but,
This is Fengdu after all!
The last time he came to Fengdu, Li Zhuiyuan had just learned the children's version of the Yin Family's Twelve Methods from Grandpa Yin Meng.

Now, he masters the complete set of Fengdu Twelve Decrees.

There was a high possibility that he would die in Fengdu during this wave, and he had also actively added variables.

But he didn't believe it.

I, who possesses the great emperor's legacy, would die tragically on the streets of Fengdu Ghost Street in such an absurd way.

As soon as he reached the altar at the door of the store, the headless general on horseback drew out his sword and pointed it at Lord Baihe first. After discovering that Lord Baihe was following the young man like a guard, he pointed the sword at the young man.

This was also because True Lord Baihe did not reveal all of his aura and deliberately suppressed it, otherwise, that person would not have dared to ride on the horse so leisurely.

The sword rang slightly, and balls of blue ghost fire extended from under the horse's hooves. The ghost soldiers blocking the way avoided them one after another. The ghost fire spread on the ground and finally connected with the altar at the door of the shop. The candlelight on the altar also exploded and turned blue.

The other party's meaning was very clear. It asked the young man to kowtow to it and then obey its orders.

Li Zhuiyuan realized from this move that it did not dare to kill people at will in Fengdu.

Just like when the people in the Xuanmen do something against the rules outside, they always like to use the name of Heaven's Way to absolve themselves of responsibility before the action begins. This Fengdu... also has its own Heaven's Way.

The headless ghost on horseback is making his own disclaimer.

Although Lord Baihe had clearly killed two ghosts, the other party still could not kill him directly as they were still wary of him.

This shows that the other party also knows that it is against the rules for their ghost soldiers to enter the ghost shop and cause trouble.

In the underworld, there really is a place for reasoning and judgment, and the oppression of these ghosts is quite severe.

Yes, if there were no such rules, how could the people in this city live a normal life?

The headless man raised his sword again, and the blue candle flame flickered continuously, as if urging him to kowtow quickly.

It was waiting for Li Zhuiyuan to refuse. As long as Li Zhuiyuan refused, it would have a reason to take action personally or urge its men to capture and kill them. It believed that with the way Li Zhuiyuan and his men had quickly killed its two ghosts before, how could they possibly kneel?
However, soon its headless body shook on the horse's back, because it saw the boy walked to the mat and straightened his clothes.

Are you planning to kneel down?

Xiuxiu moved aside, letting the front of the altar table to the boy, and consoled him: "It's okay, everything will be fine after you kneel down. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him."

She really meant well.

Zhang Chi raised his head and looked at the boy's back. Seeing that the boy was about to kneel, he felt a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. His expectations were dashed, but it seemed that the expectations were not that great.

Lord Baihe blinked his vertical pupils and wanted to reach out his hand to support and stop the boy's actions, but his hand was retracted again after he stretched it out repeatedly.

Boy: "Dissuade him, tell him you would rather die than humiliate your lord!"

Lin Shuyou: "It set up the game itself, set the table itself, lit the candles itself, can it withstand Brother Xiaoyuan's kneeling?"

Boy: "Of course I know it can't stand it, it's nothing! I want you to show off, seize the opportunity!"

Lin Shuyou: "If I don't go, I'll look stupid."

Boy: "Do you still want to make progress?"

Lin Shuyou: "Boy, I now understand more and more why you failed to make progress in the first place."

Boy: “…”

All these arrangements were made by the headless ghost himself, which was equivalent to a ceremony of accepting worship.

Li Zhuiyuan followed the procedure, lowered his left hand, and lifted the non-existent edge of his robe.

With just this action, the blue candle flame suddenly suffocated.

The headless man on the horse's back was shaking continuously, and an extremely ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

Li Zhuiyuan swings his right arm back.

The warhorse under the headless man whimpered and collapsed to the ground.

The headless man seemed to have realized something. There was definitely something wrong with this guy's fate!

It raised the sword again, trying to extinguish the will-o'-the-wisp fire on the ground and interrupt the kneeling ceremony that it had personally arranged.

But as the young man's eyes focused slightly, the blue flame was completely out of his control and could not be extinguished.

The headless man got off the collapsed horse in panic, sword raised, and rushed over to stop it by force.

Li Zhuiyuan stepped back with his right foot.

"Pfft!"

The headless man knelt on the ground, his body convulsing, and wisps of black smoke spewed out wildly from his headless neck.

It struggled and began to beg, even throwing away its sword, wanting to kowtow along with the others in an attempt to offset the attack.

In the past, when Li Zhuiyuan followed his great-grandfather to attend funerals in his hometown, he would deliberately avoid this kind of direct kneeling. Even when burning incense and paper, he had to deliberately go around and not go straight up.

He knew that his fate was now unusual and that too many things were weighing on his shoulders.

The family of the deceased spent money to invite their great-grandfather to come so that the deceased could rest in peace. It is unreasonable for them to let his soul be scattered and unable to be reborn.

He is the only contemporary successor of the Qin and Liu Dragon Kings. Although he has not been formally recognized and conferred a title by the Great Emperor, the shadow of the Great Emperor has already appeared behind him because he has mastered the inheritance of Fengdu.

This head,
Please enjoy!

Looking at the panicked headless general in front of him, Li Zhuiyuan bent his left leg and moved his body downward.

It just moved down a few inches.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

On the altar and on the street, the blue candle flames collectively exploded, and the headless general's body "boomed" and turned into a ball of ghost fire and collapsed directly!

In an instant, the whole street was silent.

Xiuxiu looked at the boy's back, as if an ordinary person saw a ghost for the first time, with her mouth completely open and her breathing rapid.

Zhang Chi’s eyes almost popped out of his head, tears were streaming out of his eyes, and he wanted to scream out loud.

Along with the death of the headless general, the ghosts controlled by him, who were actually his minions, wailed one by one, their bodies twisted, and finally disappeared into thin air.

To the residents who were sleeping soundly in Ghost Street, this noise was like a sudden gust of wind in the night, disturbing their sleep. Fortunately, the strong wind soon stopped and those who were sleeping soundly did not notice it at all.

The next round of teams will catch up at this time and continue to move forward.

Those who were leading the way below walked straight forward without looking to the side. The noble person who was held up by them on the sedan chair took the initiative to reach out and open the curtain, revealing a young girl's face, and bowed to Li Zhuiyuan.

The same goes for the next round of noble people.

Fortunately, there were only a few rounds left, and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons came to an end, and the streets returned to peace.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at the disappearing figures of the team in front of him and had an idea in his mind. He had previously thought of a way to enter Fengdu, which was probably to take the water route and enter the Yin family's ancestral tomb.

The feasibility of this method remains to be discussed. There is no technical difficulty, but the problem is... it is assumed that only the deceased members of the Yin family enter that place, which may cause big logical problems.

Putting aside other things, whose ancestral tomb has its door always open to welcome visitors from all directions?
Also, who would go to their ancestral grave when they have nothing to do and are bored?

What if after spending a lot of effort to get in, you find that the Yin family’s ancestral tomb is a dead end? What should you do then?
Now, it seems like the ghost gate of Fengdu has been opened, and I can find a way to enter through the main gate, which is much more relaxed.

Lin Shuyou twisted his neck, and his vertical pupils disappeared, returning to normal.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, shall we go back now?"

"Well, go back."

Zhang Chi crawled on the ground with his hands, knelt at the door of the store, kowtowed to Li Zhuiyuan's back, and shouted:

"My sister and I have had a hard life since childhood. We have contracted this strange disease and are plagued by pain. Please show me mercy and save me from this sea of ​​suffering. My sister and I will be grateful and will always remember your kindness!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you hungry?"

Lin Shuyou: "I'm hungry."

Li Zhuiyuan: "There must be nothing to eat in the guesthouse right now. Look around to see if there are any breakfast shops that are open and preparing to open. Buy something if there is any."

Lin Shuyou: "Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan."

Zhang Chi knocked his head loudly, but the figures of the two people in front of him were getting farther and farther away.

Xiuxiu wanted to support her brother with some heartache, but was pushed away by her brother.

Zhang Chi turned around and lay on the doorstep, breathing heavily with a dull look in his eyes.

……

On the way back to the guesthouse, he actually came across a breakfast shop with its lights on. Although the food was not fully prepared, Lin Shuyou still bought some buns and soy milk.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan, you eat."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm not hungry."

While chewing on a bun, Lin Shuyou said, "It's really hard to open the store so early."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Well, breakfast shops have always been one of the most difficult businesses."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I have been thinking about what kind of store to open in the future."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Not opening the temple anymore?"

Lin Shuyou: "I wanted to open a temple before, but now I have become a traitor to the officials and generals. I can't go back to my hometown to open a Zhenjun Temple and compete with my grandfather and master."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then open a coffee shop in the village."

Lin Shuyou's face tightened, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha!"

Just as we reached the door of the guesthouse, Lin Shuyou had finished eating all his buns.

Lin Shuyou stretched his shoulders, ate and drank his fill, then took a nap. After getting up, he continued to serve tea and water in the conference room.

Li Zhuiyuan stopped and looked outside the corridor.

Lin Shuyou: "Hmm? Hmm!"

Ah You also reacted. Two dark shadows just flashed by outside the corridor. They were not ghosts, but humans, and their skills were incredibly good.

Li Zhuiyuan saw some sense of déjà vu in the other party's movements, and he must have experienced this before.

The destination the other party was running to was exactly the building where Li Zhuiyuan and his group lived. Zhai Lao and Luo Tingrui also lived there.

"Buzz!"

A red figure fell from the upper window and intercepted the two black shadows. No need to guess, it was Tan Wenbin in the blood ape state.

"Hey, I've been watching you two for a long time. I've been groping around the periphery and not coming in. I almost fell asleep waiting."

Two black shadows pounced towards Tan Wenbin, but as soon as they came into contact, they were bounced back by the blood on Tan Wenbin's body.

Lin Shuyou said to Li Zhuiyuan, "Brother Xiaoyuan, wait a minute. I'll go help Brother Bin catch those two bastards!"

The next moment, the two black shadows that had just been repelled by Tan Wenbin all stood still, with their left hands spread out, their right hands clenched into fists, and one foot stomping on the ground!

Two fierce auras descended upon the two of them, and then they sang in unison:

"Officials and generals, evil ghosts~ can only be killed but not saved~"
