Chapter 138

Chapter 134

The bad news is, Wei Zhengdao is not dead.The good news is, Wei Zhengdao is trying to kill himself.

His not being dead disappointed Li Zhuoyuan a little, but his suicidal attitude salvaged his image in the young man's heart and even made it more vivid and lively.At least, Wei Zhengdao hasn't fallen to the point of actively turning himself into a non-human, non-ghost monster in pursuit of longevity.Although, he has in fact become a monster that even other monsters would call a monster.

This "Wu Guan Feng Yin Tu" (Five Senses Seal Diagram) is the rope Wei Zhengdao used to hang himself.He must have hung on this rope for a very long time, exposed to wind and sun, his neck rubbing the mud black onto the rope, but he still couldn't stop breathing.Instead, this rope was turned into an evil object.This evil object later required a Dragon King to personally suppress it before it could be destroyed.

So,How dirty was Wei Zhengdao back then?

However, when Wei Zhengdao broke the seal and came out, the seal diagram definitely hadn't turned into a fierce object yet, otherwise, given Wei Zhengdao's habits, he would have waved his hand and sent it to "be destroyed for the sake of the righteous path."After being left behind, the seal diagram gradually brewed and bred over a long period, turning into an evil object, stirring up wind and rain and bringing disaster to the world. How long this period was is really hard to calculate.Because even Deng Chen, whose main memories were born after being smashed and scattered, knows very little about its past.

The one who smashed the seal diagram, Qin Kan, Li Zhuoyuan saw his name on the altar table. According to its seating order, it can be deduced that he was a person from the Yuan Dynasty period.In short, there is no specific algorithm that can now derive the year Wei Zhengdao decided to commit suicide and failed.But it can probably be determined that it has been many, many years since then.This also means that Wei Zhengdao should have continued to try other suicide methods later.I sincerely wish him success in committing suicide.

The most perfect ending would be for him to enter some mysterious area later and find a skeleton or a grave with Wei Zhengdao's last words beside it.The words on it don't need to be many. According to Wei Zhengdao's character, they should be:"Haha, the old man finally succeeded in committing suicide."

Thinking of this,Li Zhuoyuan picked up the photo and gently patted his forehead.Not good,Seeing these last words would be the most terrible thing, and the worst outcome.After all,Which person who succeeded in committing suicide can still write down that they succeeded?Therefore, the best result should be that his traces are difficult to find again, and there are no leftovers from him. This is the only way it truly means he succeeded.Although this is very unfriendly to later generations who are curious about him, it is the most consistent with his style.He came, he was arrogant, he was indulgent, he was rebellious. Finally, he got tired of playing, felt there was nothing interesting, and played himself into trouble. Then he thought about how to die, and finally, he died.

Li Zhuoyuan now looks back at "Jianghu Qi Shi Lu" (Jianghu Strange Records) and "Zheng Dao Fu Yao Ji" (Righteous Path Subdue Demons Records) and truly feels like he is now spoon-feeding Binbin and the others, kneading, crushing, and grinding things fine before feeding them to their mouths.You can write a popular science book with a carefree and unrestrained feeling. Your ending probably won't fall into that kind of vulgarity.

Li Zhuoyuan's fingertip caressed the sentence on the back of the photo.The black-skinned book that Wei Zhengdao practiced under the peach tree turned into that ghostly appearance. He himself practiced it, yet nothing happened. So Li Zhuoyuan suspected very early on whether Wei Zhengdao had the same mental illness as himself.But looking at this sentence of his, there is anger, helplessness, laughter mixed with tears... in short, there are many emotions intertwined.So,Is your illness cured?Although Li Zhuoyuan's condition is gradually improving now because of A Li, this is like climbing a mountain. Until the last step, it is really difficult to confirm whether this road can completely reach the top.If there are successful methods and paths of others to refer to, then things will be much simpler and clearer.This guy wrote so many books, but didn't think that later generations would have people with the same rare disease as him, and didn't leave some prescriptions or something for later patients?

Li Zhuoyuan put this photo into his backpack.At this time, Deng Chen brought Tan Wenbin, Yin Meng, and Lin Shuyou back.Lin Shuyou walked last, shrinking his head.He had gone to pick people up earlier, but he didn't pick anyone up and got lost there first. He felt embarrassed enough.Actually, Li Zhuoyuan called him to pick people up to instruct him to take the incense burner and light the incense to go out, but A You ran out before he finished listening to the words.In view of this, in the future, whether it's causing trouble or other things, even if A You is needed to help, he cannot be arranged to act alone.A You's order for independent action should even be ranked after Runsheng.

Li Zhuoyuan: "Right, where is Runsheng?"Earlier when the white fog was still there, Li Zhuoyuan couldn't sense Runsheng's breath.But Runsheng is, after all, the strongest individual in the team. Even if Lin Shuyou summoned Bai He Tong Zi (White Crane Child) with Jia, he couldn't beat Runsheng with his Qi gates fully open.According to reason, he should be the least likely to have an accident, but things are not absolute, just like Tan Wenbin's face is somewhat sallow. He should have used a ghost-controlling secret technique and paid the price of his Yang life.And Yin Meng... seems to be completely fine, just her hair is a bit wavy and curly, as if she just went to get a perm.

No one answered Li Zhuoyuan's question. Everyone rushed here after dealing with the sudden situation on their side.Yin Meng's pager was broken and didn't receive the message, but she knew to call the store and got Lu Yi's relay."Mengmeng, A You, you two go search near No. 8 Hospital now. Runsheng should be nearby. He should be injured and temporarily unable to move, but it's not life-threatening."That pig's behavior told Li Zhuoyuan that it was actually worried about its own reinforcements arriving.And the only one who could truly pose a threat to it was Runsheng. Therefore, when that pig came here, it couldn't kill Runsheng.

Yin Meng: "Understood."Lin Shuyou: "Ken~ Understood!"The two immediately left the photo studio.

"Binbin bro, you wrap things up here. For the specific process, you ask him."Li Zhuoyuan pointed to Deng Chen.Deng Chen nodded respectfully to Li Zhuoyuan, then smiled at Tan Wenbin again."Xiao Yuan bro..."When Li Zhuoyuan was walking outside, he was called. He turned back to look at Tan Wenbin: "Hmm?"Tan Wenbin originally wanted to ask Xiao Yuan bro how to wrap things up specifically, or give him a guiding direction, even a keyword would be fine, but seeing Xiao Yuan bro's pale and tired face, he really didn't want Xiao Yuan bro to waste his brain, so he changed his words and said:"Xiao Yuan bro, walk west, there is a small mall there, the door is suitable for hailing a taxi."

"Okay."It was already dark now. Because the thick fog had dispersed, the flow of people on the road had gradually recovered, but the flow of cars was still interrupted because the road was a mess and cars couldn't pass.The drivers who were temporarily blocked here and couldn't turn around were still cursing the road administration for suddenly repairing the road so late.Li Zhuoyuan walked west from the photo studio for a distance, avoiding the section of traffic blocked here, and hailed a taxi at the mall entrance.After reporting the address to the driver, Li Zhuoyuan slumped into the back seat.He was too tired.Not only did he personally take action, but he was also injured. It was both technique and array. Now his whole body was already in an overdraft state.In fact, what consumed the most energy was not these things. In a short period of time, he had to "fight wits and courage" with that pig, and also predict its movements in advance and dig pitfalls. That was the most brain-consuming part.Fortunately, that pig didn't disappoint him. The smartest method he deduced was exactly what that pig did. This can also be said to be a tacit understanding between a smart person and a smart pig.

His nose felt a little itchy, and he was about to have a nosebleed.Li Zhuoyuan took out a piece of paper from his bag, tore it in half, rubbed it into balls, and plugged them into his nostrils in advance. Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep."Haihe University has arrived. Is it this gate?" The driver's voice came.Li Zhuoyuan looked at the school gate outside the car window, nodded, and was about to take out money to pay the bill, but he saw the price on the taxi meter was nearly double the normal situation.The young man was very sensitive to data, and he didn't need to calculate. He had hailed a taxi from this school gate to the photo studio and back twice during the day.The driver must have seen that he fell asleep in the car and adjusted the meter. Of course, even if he hadn't slept, seeing that he was a child, he probably would have done the same.Currently, there are indeed many kind and upright drivers in the taxi industry, but it is still impossible to deny the mixed situation in this industry.Just, I just finished one wave of ending, and you just blacked my fare?

Li Zhuoyuan had already seen the condensed black Qi on the driver's face as he twisted around.The brief nap in the car not only didn't rejuvenate the young man, but made him feel even more tired.The young man didn't question, didn't inquire, and was even too lazy to speak. He took out the money from his bag and handed it directly to the driver.The driver took the money.In the black Qi on the driver's forehead, bloodlines were already vaguely rolling out.Moreover, after taking the money, the driver still dawdled and didn't give change.He probably felt he had encountered a tender face. As long as the young man didn't take the initiative to speak up, he wouldn't give change.He had seen all kinds of people and knew that there were indeed people who were not good at speaking up when they were outside among strangers, even if they were clearly being taken advantage of.

Li Zhuoyuan, carrying his bag, opened the car door.When he got off, Li Zhuoyuan habitually said: "Thank you, master."The driver waved his hand and smiled: "You're welcome."He was very happy, and he was also very proud.Li Zhuoyuan saw that bloodlight had already appeared on the driver's forehead.But the young man said nothing, carried his bag, and walked into the school gate.Just like the sentence his great-grandfather once said:Everyone has their own fate. Some people are truly pitiful and have a hard fate, while some people... just purely deserve to die.

...

In the yard.Aunt Liu was holding chopsticks and a bowl, checking the newly pickled preserved vegetables.The old lady's diet was somewhat light, but she also wanted more flavor. Various small preserved vegetables were a must-have supplement and garnish for the dining table at this home.Uncle Qin was clearing the ground. The only patch of grass left in the yard was also unwanted. According to the old lady's instructions, it was useless, so it was better to plant vegetables everywhere.No way, as Xiao Yuan began to travel the river, the old lady's requirements for living became more and more down-to-earth.When he traveled the river that year, the old lady might not have changed like this.Uncle Qin thought that he was indeed far, far inferior to Xiao Yuan, even if he was already an adult when he traveled the river at that time.Because he was unwilling to admit another possibility, that is, the old lady's mentality had changed because she was old.In Uncle Qin's eyes, the old lady was the matron, the mother, and also the master.

Aunt Liu came over with the bowl, clipped a piece of preserved melon with her chopsticks, and handed it to Uncle Qin's mouth: "You taste it."Uncle Qin opened his mouth and took it down, chewed a couple of times, and evaluated: "It can be eaten, but I feel it's still not flavorful enough.""How heavy is your taste? By the time you feel it's flavorful, can we still eat it?"Uncle Qin nodded: "Right, that's true."

At this time, the floor-to-ceiling window of the first-floor room opened from the inside.Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu turned their heads to look together. A Li stood at the door.Smiles appeared on both their faces.Originally, at Li Sanjiang's home, they had played A Li's parents.Although they weren't, from an emotional point of view, they had watched A Li grow up.However, the two soon noticed that A Li was holding a crumpled banknote in her hand.Judging by the denomination, it should be two yuan.

"A Li?" Aunt Liu took the initiative to walk over, "Is the collection box full?"A Li shook her head.Aunt Liu pursed her lips, glanced upward out of the corner of her eye, and softly asked: "Is there not enough memorial tablets?"Logically, this shouldn't be the case, because she was just responsible for supplementing a batch of goods. Given A Li's past raw material consumption speed, it shouldn't be so fast to run out of goods.A Li shook her head again. Then, A Li walked out of the room and came into the yard.In the past, A Li would only sit on the back of the threshold, stepping on the threshold with her feet and gazing level, sitting all day.After meeting Xiao Yuan and moving here again, A Li would sometimes come out of the room and look at the vegetables and ants on the ground, or raise her head to look at the clouds and stars.Aunt Liu was preparing to help A Li put a stool over.But A Li walked step by step to the yard gate.She reached out and pushed open the yard gate.Aunt Liu was stunned, and Uncle Qin was also stunned.A Li walked out of the yard gate.Before, A Li had been taken out the door. The old lady would hold her hand and go out. A Li was like a sculpture, following along and sitting along.Later, A Li would sit on Runsheng's tricycle and go pick up and drop off Xiao Yuan from school. Xiao Yuan would also hold A Li's hand and take her to Cui Cui's house to play, or walk and look in the fields and by the riverbank.The countryside is vast and sparsely populated. Walking on small paths and field ridges, they didn't meet many people.

In recent times, Aunt Liu and Uncle Qin had also discovered that Xiao Yuan would take A Li to the playground for a walk in the morning.But no matter what, those were all people who were close enough and took A Li out.Right now, this was the first time A Li wanted to go out by herself, and she actually walked out.Uncle Qin put down the hoe in his hand and prepared to follow.The yard was still okay. They were outsiders, and no one came to visit, but if they walked outside... this was a school, and the population was quite dense.A Li was afraid of strangers, not to mention strange crowds.Uncle Qin just walked to the yard gate and stopped.He turned back and looked at the second floor behind him.The old lady was standing there, her gaze containing a warning.Uncle Qin was very surprised. Did the old lady mean that he wasn't allowed to follow?

"None of you follow. She walked out by herself. She knows what's outside."After saying these words, Liu Yumei turned around, closed her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

There were not many people on the small road in the family quarters.A Li walked along the edge of the road, pulling as much distance as possible from everyone who passed by.Many doors in the nearby family quarters were open, and people were sitting inside. When they saw a little girl dressed so beautifully walk past, many greeted her enthusiastically.There were also boys and girls of the same age who took the initiative to walk out, curiously looking at her and even following her.A Li didn't respond or look at them. She just continued to lower her head and walk her own path.Her left hand was slightly clenched, swinging lightly. In the past, every time she went out, Xiao Yuan would hold this hand of hers.Her right hand subconsciously gripped tightly after leaving the door. Then she discovered that the money was crumpled even more in her grip.She immediately loosened her right hand, and with both hands, she unfolded the money and kept smoothing it.

Out of the family quarters and outside the playground, the children who had followed her either stopped behind or were called back by their families.It became much quieter beside the girl, but in front... there were more people.She stopped and raised her head, looking at the crowd in front.Most of these were young university students, but in the girl's eyes, they were terrifying ghosts one by one.She knew they weren't.But there was no way. Those noisy sounds in her ears were just ghost cries and wolf howls. Those smiling faces, in her eyes, were all particularly ferocious.She had stayed in the dream for a long time and experienced it for a long time. The dream environment had already eroded her reality.She stepped back. She wanted to go back.But she lowered her head and looked at the two-yuan bill in her hand. She raised her head again and continued to walk forward.She walked into the crowd and felt herself being swallowed.The university students passing by or simply sitting on the edge of the playground chatting and falling in love were all attracted by this girl.The sky was not completely dark yet. The streetlights inside and outside the playground were very bright, so everyone could clearly see the girl's clothes and appearance.This kind of exquisite sense, this kind of temperament, no exaggeration, when their gaze fell on her, they would even forget to take the next breath.Currently, all kinds of foreign elements are popular. Ancient style clothing is extremely rare. In most people's perception, ancient style is like the kind of long sleeves and skirts worn for folk dances at parties.What the girl displayed on her body was a kind of true grace and nobility.Many students at this moment realized that the descriptions and depictions in the poems and ancient texts they learned in high school actually truly existed in reality.This girl was like she walked out of a painting. The ancestors really didn't deceive me.Male and female students on both sides of the road sighed and their gazes followed.Students walking past had already opened their mouths when they saw the girl. After the girl walked past, they all turned around again and stood in place, continuing to stare blankly.After all, it was a university, and the students' quality was relatively high. Everyone just appreciated and praised her, and no one had any other actions.But the gazes from all around, falling on the girl's body, brought a rolling, hot, burning sensation.Her line of sight even became somewhat blurry because of this, but she still held on strongly and continued to move forward.Finally, she came to the store entrance.She walked up the steps and into the store.The sealed space, the denser crowd, and the closer gazes brought more terrible pressure and torment.Her hearing was already filled with all kinds of ferocious laughter and curses. In her line of sight, there were terrifying evil spirits and monsters everywhere.They crawled out of the shelves, they seeped out of the gaps in the floor tiles, they even hung all over the ceiling.She stood here, clearly not moving, but this world was twisting and rotating crazily.Her eyelids began to tremble.The girl wanted to go crazy, wanted to scream, wanted to let herself be completely out of control, because only in this way could she forget her existence, forget who she was, and forget the terror and torment.But she was still struggling to persist. Just when she was already feeling suffocated, she saw that can of orange-white drink on the shelf.She reached out, took it down, and hugged it to her chest.Found it.Next,To bring it back.

"Wow, such a beautiful little girl." A part-time female student next to Lu Yi sighed.Lu Yi, who was just sitting behind the counter recording accounts, looked up and saw the little girl walking towards him. He rubbed his eyes, because this girl gave him an extremely unreal feeling.Lu Yi was already feeling a little unsettled today. The altar table in the dormitory was still there. Now seeing this girl again, he thought he had walked into Strange Tales.The girl walked towards here while constantly smoothing the money in her hand with her hand, as if hoping to make it flatter, even though the wrinkles didn't affect its use and circulation.Walking to the counter, A Li raised her head and looked at Lu Yi.Lu Yi, in her eyes, was like a spitting, red, long snake, long and segmented.Ferocious sounds transmitted from the counter. The long snake swam to the counter and coiled up, like a pile of stacked red sausages.Lu Yi leaned his body forward, sticking out from the counter, and asked: "You want this one?"A Li put the two yuan on the counter. The snake used its tail to poke the banknote over and said, spitting its letter:"Just right."The girl turned around and walked out of the store.Leaving the sealed environment allowed her to relax slightly.But next, she still had to walk back home from here.

...

Li Zhuoyuan dragged his tired body into the school and walked into the store when he passed by the entrance."Child of God bro, Yin Meng called back. I told her where to take the photos.""Hmm."Li Zhuoyuan responded, walked to the shelf, picked up a can of drink, opened it, and took a sip.He had overexerted himself today and eaten too much sugar. After drinking it, his mouth was full of bitterness, mixed with surging bubbles, making Li Zhuoyuan feel like throwing up.He walked to the counter and put the drink that he really couldn't drink down into the trash can.Lu Yi didn't notice Li Zhuoyuan's unusual behavior and continued to say: "Earlier this evening, a little girl came to buy something. That little girl was wearing ancient clothing. Damn, she was really beautiful, unbelievably beautiful."Li Zhuoyuan's first reaction was A Li.But immediately he felt it was impossible. How could A Li possibly run here to buy something?Whatever she needed, she could write to Aunt Liu directly. She wouldn't even go out the door herself.Li Zhuoyuan waved at Lu Yi and walked out.He walked out of the living area and passed by the playground again, finally walking into the family quarters area.This section of road, not long nor short, he had walked many times since Grandma Liu moved here, and it was more familiar than he could imagine.He pushed open the door and walked into the yard.Li Zhuoyuan saw Uncle Qin watering the vegetables."Hello, Uncle Qin.""Hmm." Uncle Qin nodded to the young man. He wanted to say something, but seeing the young man's tired face, he guessed what the young man had just done and didn't say anything at this time.Li Zhuoyuan pulled open the floor-to-ceiling window and walked in.A Li was sitting on the bed. She must have just finished bathing. Her body was a little warm, and her hair was dripping wet. Aunt Liu was just standing behind her using a towel to help her dry her hair.What made Li Zhuoyuan a little doubtful was that A Li's complexion seemed a little pale, as if she had just experienced a wave of exhaustion.But the problem was, even if the girl drew talismans for him, at most she would just feel a little tired and recover after a short rest.In his memory, he had never seen A Li look like this.

"Xiao Yuan is back."Aunt Liu smiled and took away the towel, walked out of the bedroom, and when she closed the door, she deliberately didn't do it too hard.The door was pulled shut, but not tightly closed.Aunt Liu just stood at the door, a smile on the corner of her mouth, quietly waiting.This sense of anticipation might far exceed the taste of her own pickled preserved melon.

"A Li, how are you?"Lu Yi's words from earlier echoed in Li Zhuoyuan's mind. He thought of a possibility, although he still didn't believe it now, because it was too exaggerated and too absurd.A Li moved her pillow away. There was a can of Jianlibao inside.The girl held the Jianlibao with both hands, knelt and moved from the bed to the edge, and came to the young man.Going into the store was really her!Li Zhuoyuan pursed his lips. When he reached out to take it, the girl seemed to remember something. She first lowered her head, reached out her hand to pull the tab, and pried it open outwards.In the past, when drinking this, the boy would open it for her and then hand it to her.She had accompanied her grandmother to drink tea since she was a child and didn't actually like this sweet drink, but she liked drinking it with him.

"Pop."It must have been still for a while. The drink didn't overflow.The girl's face held a smile, showing two cute dimples. She handed the can of drink to the young man.Li Zhuoyuan reached out and took it, raised his head, and took a big gulp:"Hmm, it's so sweet."

---Because I was organizing my thoughts today, I was delayed in coding. I will send out what I have written now and continue coding. There will be another chapter tomorrow at noon, and I will make up the word count for everyone.Again, I ask for a monthly ticket. There are only 2k tickets left until the monthly ticket task is completed. According to the double monthly ticket calculation, it's actually just a difference of 1k.
