Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 294

The conversation in the room came to an abrupt halt, and an invisible force surged out from inside.

Li Zhuiyuan instinctively wanted to resist this force, but as soon as he came into contact with it, he gave up and let himself be tossed in the turbulent waves like a small boat.

The scenes in front of my eyes overlapped, and another layer of picture appeared in my sight.

On one hand, reality remains the same and nothing has changed; on the other hand, the scene is played in reverse quickly and the light and shadows rotate.

He first walked backwards, went downstairs, retreated to the door, then stepped back over the white dog, and finally, together with Zhao Yi, returned to the railway track outside the guesthouse entrance.

Then, the original playback perspective quickly moved forward again. The two entered the guesthouse, greeted the security guard at the door, made eye contact with people coming in and out, met some acquaintances at the door of the building and nodded to them. Finally, they returned to the door of the room and returned to normal.

Nothing seems to have changed, only the wrinkles have been smoothed out.

Li Zhuiyuan did not rush to push the door open, but continued to stand at the door, thinking about their way of eliminating cause and effect.

Beings of their level are extremely sensitive every time they appear in reality, but at the same time, their methods of dealing with the laws of nature are also worthy of Li Zhuiyuan's understanding and learning.

After he had sorted out his thoughts, Li Zhuiyuan pushed the door open.

Inside the room, Mr. Zhai was sitting behind a desk, wearing glasses, and looking at a document carefully.

Turning his head, Mr. Zhai smiled, took off his glasses, and said, "Xiaoyuan is here."

Obviously, Mr. Zhai didn't remember what had just happened here.

Li Zhuiyuan was not surprised by this "normality" and did not even try to test it.

I just came to Mr. Zhai's room to sit and chat normally, playing the role of a junior and student, and then said goodbye and left at the appropriate time.

After returning to his room, Li Zhuiyuan pasted a talisman on the door handle. Ordinary people could not come in, and those who could come in would not force their way in after sensing the presence of the talisman.

The boy walked to the mirror on the wall of the room, closed his eyes, and stood still.

The right palm was spread out, and the red thread spread out, circled above, tied a knot, and then fell down and wrapped around the boy's left hand.

Slowly opening his eyes, there seemed to be red lines flowing dynamically in the boy's eyes.

Through the mirror, Li Zhuiyuan saw a cloud of mist appearing behind him.

The more skills you learn and the more inheritance you comprehend, the more cause and effect entangled there will naturally be.

His eyes wandered around, peeling away the clouds and mist, and finally, under the rolling dark sky, the figure that Li Zhuiyuan wanted to find appeared.

The crown was solemn and his figure was dignified, but even so, his eyes were still closed, with a vague look. Nothing had changed and there was no difference from the past.

The red line was retracted, and the boy closed his eyes again. He staggered slightly and sat back on the bed.

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and supported his forehead with his hand.

This kind of self-penetration is very taboo, and Li Zhuiyuan would not do it on normal days, but this time, he had to see it clearly in advance.

After adjusting for a moment, Li Zhuiyuan stood up, peeled off the talisman paper and opened the door.

Zhao Yi stood at the door and said, "Yin Meng's grandfather came and took down the stick. He also sucked away the curse on Yin Meng. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "How is the situation?"

Zhao Yi: "They are in good condition and are all in a coma. I also fed them medicine. Alas, only two pills are left."

Li Zhuiyuan: "A new name?"

Zhao Yi: "I'm not lying to you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'll go and see it later."

"Now?"

Zhao Yi's eyes showed vigilance, as if to say, "Don't even think of leaving me alone to reap the benefits."

"I'm going to see Brother Liangliang to talk about some professional matters. Are you coming?"

"It's definitely not a professional matter, but I won't go." Zhao Yi stretched out a finger and poked his ear, "Walls have ears, I won't act as a go-between."

Li Zhuiyuan came to the third floor and walked downstairs after noticing that there was no movement in Xue Liangliang's room.

After questioning, Xue Liangliang was found in a small conference room.

The formal meeting will not be held until tomorrow, but it is just a confirmation process. Many participants need to communicate and inquire privately.

Mr. Luo and a group of elderly people were sitting at one end of the conference room, giving a presentation. Xue Liangliang was at the other end, surrounded by middle-aged men in executive jackets.

Seeing Li Zhuiyuan at the door, Xue Liangliang immediately apologized to the people around him, stood up and walked over.

Xue Liangliang wanted to take Li Zhuiyuan to a quiet corner in front, but Li Zhuiyuan didn't want to delay him, so he just stood there and said:

"Brother Liangliang, I need you to do me a favor."

Xue Liangliang took out his wallet from his pocket with his right hand and took the pen from his chest with his left hand.

The meaning is very clear, do you want money or approval?

Xue Liangliang is a very principled person, but he has no principles when it comes to the boy, because he knows that Xiaoyuan is also a very principled person.

"Do you still remember the regret you had back then?"

"Ok?"

Xue Liangliang couldn't remember what the regret was for a moment, so he immediately changed his mindset and looked for it in the category of no regrets instead of past regrets. He soon understood what Xiaoyuan was talking about and nodded:
"Ah."

"Brother Liangliang, learn from your lesson this time and hold on a little longer."

"it is good."

"Brother Liangliang, you are busy."

"Be safe."

Looking at the young man's back as he left, Xue Liangliang frowned slightly at first, then relaxed. He didn't know what Xiaoyuan asked him to do, but he felt that he would know it soon.

Li Zhuiyuan came to Yin Meng and Run Sheng's room and checked their bodies. They were in very bad conditions, but it would not affect their waking up tonight.

Lin Shuyou suggested, "Brother Xiaoyuan, do you want to place them in Ghost Street now?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "No, take them with you when you go."

After the boy left, Lin Shuyou asked Tan Wenbin curiously, "Um, didn't Brother Xiaoyuan say earlier that he would take everyone to the ghost street tonight regardless of their state?"

Tan Wenbin: "Are you sure that the ghost street we are going to now is the same ghost street as the one at night?"

Lin Shuyou: "Oh, that's how it is."

When Li Zhuiyuan returned to his room again, he found Zhao Yi lying on another bed with professional books and engineering drawings in front of him that he didn't know where he got from, and he was drawing circles with a pen.

"Mr. Li, do you think it's too late for me to cram for the exam now?"

"Which one?"

"A last-minute trick."

“It’s never too late to pick up a book.”

"Don't mention it, it's really interesting. I'm not lying to you. After the trip is over, I will really go to college."

"Aren't we going to reorganize the Zhao family?"

"You guys, college students, don't you guys stay in school all the time?"

Li Zhuiyuan went to take a shower, and when he came out, he lay down on the bed.

Zhao Yi asked: "It's still early, what should we do next? What preparations do we need to make?"

"sleep."

"I saw it. I mean, what do you do after you wake up from a nap?"

"Sleep until that point."

"pretty."

Zhao Yi closed the letter.

"Just continue reading."

"Why, Mr. Li, do you also think I have potential in this area?"

"The sound of flipping through books and blueprints helps me sleep."

"Ah."

Li Zhuiyuan fell asleep.

On the one hand, he really needed to conserve enough energy to cope with the inevitable overdraft situation;
On the other hand, the more we "let go" before a big event, the more we will cherish it.

All in all, the quality of my sleep was surprisingly good.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

Zhao Yi rested his head on his left hand and held a cigarette in his right hand. Worried that the smell of smoke would affect the boy's sleep, he just inhaled the cigarette in his hand without exhaling.

Seeing that the boy woke up, he was no longer polite. He patted his chest, and the smoke that had been suppressed for a long time "gushed out" from his heart like an old steam locomotive.

"If you don't wake up, I'm going to call you. It's eleven o'clock."

"Notify everyone that you can leave now."

Everyone has different ways of relieving stress. Tan Wenbin sat on the balcony, drinking tea and looking at the scenery. He drank too much and went to the toilet several times in one afternoon.

Lin Shuyou cleaned Yongzi's truck from top to bottom, inside and out, by himself.

When everyone gathered in front of the truck, they saw that the truck looked like it had just been washed.

Yin Meng and Run Sheng hadn't woken up yet, but their eyelids were twitching slightly, and they were very close to waking up naturally, so no one woke them up in advance.

Zhao Yi was still driving, and Li Zhuiyuan was sitting in the passenger seat.

The car had just driven down the mountain and was heading towards Ghost Street when fog started to rise ahead.

Zhao Yi stopped the car, took out a stack of talismans from his pocket, and shouted to Lin Shuyou who was sitting in the back:

"Ayou, go down and put a talisman on each tire."

"it is good."

After Lin Shuyou had put the stickers on, Zhao Yi started the car again and drove into the fog.

At first, there were still some pedestrians and lighted shops and houses around, but gradually, the breath of life seemed to be completely wiped out. When the truck really drove to the ghost street, it was empty and quiet, with no one living there.

This is a ghost street, but this is not a ghost street. Except for the ghost shops that are still open tonight, the normal businesses inside are empty.

I’m afraid even the owners of these ghost shops are unaware of this “subtle” change.

The door of the clothing store was still open.

Logically, he was injured today and should have taken a rest, but he insisted on opening the shop with bandages on.

Zhang Chi's bad luck never fails.

Yin Meng opened her eyes and woke up.

Maybe I smelled the atmosphere of home.

The truck didn't come in, so Yin Meng was now lying on a stretcher. As soon as she sat up, she heard a "puff" behind her.

This noise frightened Yin Meng so much that she shuddered. Then she saw Lin Shuyou handing over a can of Jianlibao and asked with concern:

"Are you awake?"

Yin Meng took the drink, and Ayou added some dried meat and preserved fruits to help Yin Meng, who had just woken up, recover her strength quickly.

"here it is……"

"Your home."

Yin Meng looked at the shop in front of her, which was lit. "Where's Brother Xiaoyuan..."

"I'm planning to open a shop with Brother Bin." Lin Shuyou smiled, "We'll also open a coffin shop here in the future."

Conditions for transfer: Help cure this strange disease.

Doctor: Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi had long been accustomed to this. He leaned against the door and smoked a cigarette, not bothering to ask why a person named Li needed me to work hard for him just because he was doing a favor for his subordinates?
Zhang Xiuxiu was overjoyed when she heard this condition.

Her brother was also in ecstasy, but he suppressed it forcefully, and said with a trembling body:
"That's... that's... that's the condition?"

Li Zhuiyuan said nothing.

Tan Wenbin didn't say anything either.

Zhao Yi blew out a smoke ring and said, "Then don't transfer it. Wait until the shop is vacant tomorrow and you can save some transfer fees."

Threatening words sound most meaningful when spoken by a real young master.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Chi was so scared that he fell off his wheelchair and almost cried out:
"I turn, I turn!"

The transfer contract was signed, and Tan Wenbin signed on behalf of Yin Meng with his fingerprints. The shop belonged to the street office, and after the matter was settled, they would go to the street office to complete the formalities and sign a new lease contract.

Zhao Yi flicked the cigarette butt away, walked in and stood in front of Zhang Xiuxiu.

He reached out his hand and gently lifted Zhang Xiuxiu's chin with his fingertips.

Zhang Xiuxiu swallowed hard and did not dare to resist. Zhang Chi next to her did not know what Zhao Yi meant.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Your strange disease can no longer be suppressed. It will break out within half a year. However, I only agree to treat one person. How about this, you two brothers decide among yourselves who will treat this disease."

Zhang Chi's expression changed.

Zhang Xiuxiu looked at her brother without hesitation.

Zhao Yi picked up the tea from the cabinet, poured it out and washed his fingertips, then walked out of the shop and came to the young man.

Li Zhuiyuan: “Is it fun?”

Zhao Yi: “Very interesting.”

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then let you go first."

Zhao Yi: "How can this be possible? Our Ayou must go first."

The simple arrangement has been completed, with an empty altar with only two candles on it and not even a cushion underneath.

There were two stretchers at the back, with Yin Meng sitting on them, while Runsheng was still sleeping, snoring much louder than before.

In front of the stretcher, there were two open backpacks filled with water and drinks. To outsiders, it looked like a camping trip.

Zhang Xiuxiu brought out some hot rice porridge and buns. After putting them down, she walked to Zhao Yi and said in a low but firm voice:

"We have decided. Please help my brother get treatment."

"Oh."

Zhang Xiuxiu stroked her hair and turned away.

Zhao Yi: "Close the door, hide in the inner room, and don't come out tonight."

"Yes, thank you."

Zhang Xiuxiu returned to the shop and put the door panels back in place. Soon, the lights in the shop went out.

Zhao Yi picked up a bun, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and took a bite. It was a braised pork bun, and it tasted really good.

The two sisters sitting nearby witnessed the whole scene.

Liang Yan: "Alas, we are now disfigured."

Liang Li: "And he's old."

Zhao Yi glanced at them and said, "Just keep being stupid, really."

He didn't like others to have any intentions towards him, unless that person could suppress him like the man named Li.

Zhang Xiuxiu is indeed smarter than her brother.

There are no stars or moon in the sky tonight. It doesn't seem like it's covered, but more like it's been stripped away.

Time passed slowly, and then the clocks in several shops on the street rang the clock of midnight one after another.

The waves in the waters near the dock below surged in response, and the movement continued to extend outward.

The Buddhist chanting sounded quietly and solemnly, but it failed to clear away the darkness here. Instead, it made the place even more depressing.

Li Zhuiyuan stood behind the altar, surrounded by the power of Feng Shui, creating an aura similar to that of the King of Fengdu.

Then, the young man held a piece of talisman paper and slapped it downwards.

As the talisman paper spontaneously combusted, the flames of the two candles on the altar turned black.

"quiet."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, orange lights were hung from both sides of the street, and then continued to rise into the sky, like eyes overlooking the ground below, suppressing the Sanskrit sound.

Deep under the water, at the two pillars, on the empty seats, figures in official robes appeared, each with a dignified aura. They were following the procedures to approve the foreign ghosts who were allowed to go ashore to worship Fengdu.

However, their inward-facing side appears to be a Yin official, but the outward-facing side shows traces of a cassock.

Groups of lonely ghosts shackled in chains were walking forward from the bottom of the water.

They have just started, and there is still a long distance before they officially land.

But this does not affect the first row.

"Crashing... crashing..."

Three figures emerged from the water first, with green and red faces, eyes as fast as lightning, and ferocious fangs. They were the two generals Zengshen!
Both of them are always at the forefront and act as pioneers.

Logically speaking, there should be a boy leading the way ahead.

Well, Tongzi is here this time too, but he arrived a little early.

With the addition and loss of two generals, the group became three. The first thing they did after reaching the shore was to tie the chains in their hands around themselves.

Then, the three of them raised their weapons together, and three incense sticks lit above their heads, attracting bursts of purple smoke of merit behind them.

After three steps, the three figures kept flashing from their original places and appeared in the next place. The distance was rapidly shortening.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Lin Shuyou."

Lin Shuyou walked to the altar, holding two maces in his hands, his profile angular and his back straight.

He was now past the point of being nervous and feeling uneasy. Right now, he and the boy had the same mentality and only had the urge to fight a big battle.

A red line spread across Li Zhuiyuan's palm, forming a connection with Lin Shuyou in front of him.

The increase and decrease will be bound with chains in order to continuously replenish the consumption of the divine body after it comes to the world.

This time, as soon as Lin Shuyou drew the red line, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him was so clear, as if this originally cold ghost street was actively showing goodwill to him.

Li Zhuiyuan did not set up a formation here in advance, because the entire ghost town is a formation.

As long as the emperor acquiesces, he can continue to bully others here.

However, Zhao Yi, who had been standing behind Li Zhuiyuan ready to lend his brain at any time, noticed that the boy's fingertips under the altar trembled slightly from time to time, and the orange lantern above his head blinked from time to time.

It’s already this late, Mr. Li, what are you playing at?
Zhao Yi looked up and began to deduce in his mind.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Forget it, save my brain."

Zhao Yi put on a polite smile, stopped deducing in his mind, and started cursing at Mr. Li.

Lin Shuyou had been waiting for Brother Xiaoyuan's voice to ring out from the bottom of his heart, ready to listen to Brother Xiaoyuan's battle arrangements.

He waited.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Put aside everything and fight, even if you want to die."

Boy: “This…”

Lin Shuyou: "Boy, what Brother Xiaoyuan means is that we have no way out. We can only give it a try. Even if we die, we must stop them!"

Without waiting for the boy to question again, Lin Shuyou took over his body completely with an absolutely strong attitude.

The vertical pupils opened, stripes appeared, and the True Lord's aura burst out.

Lord Baihe raised his arms, and the two golden maces reflected a sharp luster under the light of the lanterns.

The next moment, Lord Baihe rushed towards the two generals Zengshen.

Now, although they are in different camps, seeing their former colleagues actively challenging them, the two generals Zengshen were shocked and their blood boiled. They made up their minds to have a good fight tonight!
However, just as they were about to take the initiative to meet him, they discovered that the mark between Baihe Zhenjun's eyebrows was spinning and a milky white flame was burning on his body during the sprint.

Generals Zengsun and Sun Yi paused in their tracks, with astonishment in their eyes.

They thought it would be a fierce battle and knew that no one would hold back, but they never expected that the boy would take the initiative to burn his own soul from the very beginning!

Over the past many years, these evil spirits have continuously descended upon the mediums to exorcise demons and monsters, isn't it just to gain that little bit of precious merit to make their own souls tougher?

How could He be willing to do that?
At the moment when Lin Shuyou's soul was burning, Zhao Yi immediately stopped cursing at Li Zhuiyuan in his heart and turned to open his mouth and speak directly:

"Mr. Li, have you ever thought about what would happen if you made a wrong bet?"

"You can leave."

Zhao Yi's eyes turned red, and he cursed: "You are a lunatic, how dare you, are you not afraid at all?"

Before coming, he thought it was going to be a tragic drama, but who could have imagined that as soon as the curtain opened, the man named Li would make everyone die first.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You should have guessed it a long time ago."

Zhao Yi: "Guess what?"

"You can admit defeat, that's why you're afraid of losing. I can't afford to lose, so I'm not afraid anymore."

"Snapped!"

Zhao Yi slapped himself hard in the face.

A red slap mark appeared on his face, and his smile turned into a flattering one:

"Mr. Li, I just lost control of my emotions a little bit."

Li Zhuiyuan ignored him.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I just want to vent my emotions."

The boy said nothing.

"Ancestor, let me be the next one."

"it is good."

The burning of his soul brought a significant boost to Lord Baihe's strength. Coupled with the extra blessing of Ghost Street, when he smashed into the middle of the two generals Zengshen with a "bang", the two generals did not dare to take it head-on and had to retreat to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

General Zeng: "Bai He, are you crazy?"

General Sun: "Bai He, what do you want?"

True Lord Baihe looked down at the two generals Zengshen with his pupils erect, and an arrogant look appeared on his face.

At this moment, He completely overwhelmed His two former high-ranking colleagues in terms of momentum, like a proud white crane soaring in the sky and overlooking the people below.

A melodious chant rang out from the throat of Master Baihe:

"Tonight, the evil ghosts~ can only be killed but not saved!"
