For ten years I practiced Gu poison in Southeast Asia; all living beings revered me as a deity.

After Master Sena died, Luo Feng followed his instructions and dug a pit behind the Black Sheep Cave, burying his body and the belongings left behind by Ati's biological father.

Sena must have made arrangements in advance, having already prepared shovels and quicklime, so his work was not difficult.

After burying the body, he also found the valuables that Sena had left him, a pottery jar full of silver ingots and coins. Some of these ingots were stamped with Chinese characters, such as "Tian Bao Di Bao," while others were stamped with Vietnamese characters, and were Vietnamese silver bars, as well as tiger tongue silver that had been minted in Thailand and Laos.

Historically, China and its southwestern neighbors had frequent exchanges of goods and currency based on their historical ties. Merchant groups had long since expanded their influence across the borders, and naturally, some gold and silver ingots circulated locally and were even regarded as local currency.

In northern Thailand, the Chinese currency, known as the "Palace Ingot," served as the benchmark for exchange rates. Later, in the mid-20s, the "Yuan Shikai Dollar" also became popular in this region and was used as circulating currency.

"This is quite a fortune..."

Luo Feng didn't take all the money with him. This jar of silver ingots and coins was very heavy and easy to lose if he carried it around. He only took a few coins, hid them on his body, and buried the jar somewhere.

Finally, they found some dried meat and other food in the cave and quickly continued on their way.

The Princess Temple in Wan Khao Village must be some distance from this village. Luo Feng deduced that the village's location should be within the present-day Mae Hong Son Province in northern Thailand.

In modern times, it would only take a few hours by car to reach the destination within a day. However, in this era, northern Thailand was not yet fully developed, and many places were still wild areas with only winding mountain roads, where travel depended entirely on foot.

Originally, Wankao Village and Ati Village were only about 200 to 300 kilometers apart, but due to inconvenient transportation, they had to travel through the mountains and forests to get there and back. If they encountered rivers blocking the way or landslides and mudslides, they had to take a long detour, which greatly increased the time wasted on the journey.

Hiking on the mountain road was not easy. This is a tropical climate, and before the rainy season, the temperature is hot and humid. On the second day, a torrential rain began.

It was as if the scene had changed in an instant, as if I had entered a strange world, where it was hot and humid.

The rain poured down relentlessly, a torrent of water cascading down like a waterfall, as if the sea were flowing through the forest.

Thunder roared, and a silver snake snaked across the sky. Luo Feng was soaked to the bone by the torrential rain, making the road extremely muddy. He trudged along the muddy path, his feet sinking deep into the mud, making his way step by step toward the mountain road.

Luo Feng could clearly sense the foreign atmosphere. There were all kinds of animals in the forest: bats, pangolins, lizards, and will-o'-the-wisps that drifted at night.

In the dead of night, the green glow of firelight flickered and peeked out from the dead trees, mounds of earth, and thickets after the rain.

It rained for three days straight. On the fourth day, the weather turned unusually hot.

The mountain road that Luo Feng was traveling on became increasingly dangerous and steep.

Under such harsh conditions, every step you take will leave you drenched in sweat.

To protect himself from the scorching sun and rain, he bought a large bamboo hat from a farmer along the way and carried a rattan basket for his luggage on his back.

It's so hot.

His mouth was dry; he opened it, but couldn't even be bothered to utter a word.

The heat seemed to have turned the earth into a steamer, and even the shady forests could not escape the heat.

The heat flowed through the dense forest, evaporating a vibrant green scent that lingered among the old trees, their branches sprawling and sap steaming, giving rise to dark, lush forests and mountains all along the way, a verdant landscape everywhere you looked.

After another four days of travel, Luo Feng finally arrived at Wankao Village. It was more like a large market town than a village. Wankao Village was close to a large river wharf and was a very busy place.

It was hot and pungent, with all sorts of smells from the docks and markets wafting around – spicy, fishy, ​​sour, and rotten.

It was late afternoon, near dusk, and the sun had not yet completely set. Along the dock, the long pier was crowded with boats of all sizes. Fishermen and cargo boatmen were all shirtless, with only sarongs tied around their waists.

These people all looked alike, their faces covered in sweat, their teeth gleaming, their thin backs hunched over, as they struggled to carry fish or heavy cargo.

Starting from the dock, stilt houses stand one after another, stretching along the riverbank. The streets are lined with stalls and vendors selling fish, vegetables and fruits, as well as various groceries and daily necessities.

These small business vendors vied with each other, shouting at the top of their lungs. A cacophony of calls rose and fell, creating a chaotic cacophony. The market was teeming with people, men, women, and children, a surging, thronging the street.

Just seeing this crowd made me want to wipe away sweat. Halfway through the afternoon, the scorching sun was still intense, making people feel drowsy. Even the local stray dogs couldn't stand the crowd, and they all lay in the shade, curled up in a ball, sticking out their scarlet tongues and panting listlessly.

Luo Feng inquired with the locals and finally found out the location of the Princess Temple. He walked through the dense crowd, took a detour, and finally arrived at the temple.

Strangely enough, this temple was not a Thai-style Buddhist temple, but rather a Chinese temple with upturned eaves, magnificent brackets, and glittering gold walls.

In front of the Princess Temple, there is a large incense burner filled with incense sticks, and the inside of the burner is covered with layers of ash accumulated over many years.

In the dim light of dawn, Luo Feng took a deep breath, knowing that he had finally arrived at the Princess Temple.

"Sena told me that I must get to the Princess Temple within half a month and find the master Putaoon. I arrived eight days ahead of schedule."

These eight days of travel were extremely arduous. Luo Feng could only marvel at Ati's excellent physical condition, or perhaps the benefits brought by his basic talent of "internal healing." He endured three days of rain and four days of sunshine without getting sick or catching a cold, and he just toughed it out.

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his right palm; it was a message from the Reincarnation Gu mark.

[Can this region be 'marked' so that when subsequent loop segments are restarted, this point in time can be included in the intervention loop...?]

"A save point?"

Luo Feng suddenly realized.

That's fine. Every time he died before, when he intervened in the cycle of reincarnation, he would return to the initial point in time.

He never wanted to go through another eight-day journey like that.

Let's mark this save point.

He gave the command to the Reincarnation Gu mark.

Soon, the mark conveyed the message "marking complete".

Once this 'mark' is complete, the 'Ati's Reincarnation Fragment' will return to the corresponding point in time each time the cycle restarts.

"it is good."

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked forward to the main gate of the Princess Temple.

In front of the temple gate are a pair of lion and tiger gateposts. Following a row of stone steps, you can see a large gate. This gate is somewhat like the gate of a Taoist temple, with two black lacquered wooden doors that fit together perfectly.

Luo Feng climbed the steps and arrived at the door, knocking on the door knocker.
