Chapter 144

Chapter 140

The old granny's shout was like a death knell.

The team of ten people on the slope above also slowed down because of this.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that this time he had encountered a super difficult question.

Fortunately, this was not a mandatory question for him, at least not at the current stage.

Moreover, he had already chosen to skip this question earlier. Now, he would simply continue skipping.

The young man's mind worked rapidly. He was now sure that the old couple appeared to be running a small roadside service station for passing drivers, but secretly they were operating an underworld "Road Inn."

That courtyard had nothing special about it because the young man was a very cautious person.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he carefully inspected it and did not find any traces of arrays.

Not only that, he refused the old couple's offer of food and lodging, including the firewood they provided for roasting. He also paid close attention to the color and smoke of the burning wood. Even when the five returning workers bought cigarettes at the store and smoked, the young man observed their expressions.

Everything was very normal. Those superfluous actions were the key to the abnormality.

Two white flags, the old man burning paper, the old granny waving a mirror.

The corpse-driving team only chose to come here to 'rest their feet,' and those seven people from the Wang family all met a grim end, while the old couple remained completely unaffected.

White flags... The image of white flags appeared in Li Zhuiyuan's mind. He quickly stripped away their unnecessary details and analyzed their specific role. These were actually a very non-standard type of guiding flag.

His own great-grandfather's home also had them. During a funeral for a deceased person, relatives leading the procession held flags, and these were similar, but taller, larger, and more elaborate.

All these thoughts were completed in an instant.

Since the old couple could rely on this to safely avoid danger, why shouldn't he follow suit?

The simplest way to answer the question... was to directly copy the correct answer.

"Runsheng, set up the offering table!"

"Okay!"

Runsheng knelt on the ground, steadying himself, and reached into his backpack with both hands.

Everyone's backpack was packed by themselves so that in a critical moment, they could quickly get what they needed.

Runsheng first took out a small table board. This table board was very similar to the small tables found in some high-end hospital rooms today that could be set up on the bed for eating.

The difference was, it was more advanced.

His great-grandfather's offering table emphasized spectacle and primarily aimed to provide emotional value to the main family.

Li Zhuiyuan's setup was completely simplified.

First, the small table had no fixed legs. One only needed to pull down the flap at the bottom of the table, and the metal frame below would stand up like a suspension bridge. With a slight press, it could self-adjust its length and remain stable.

Therefore, even on the slope, it could stand level.

The surface of the small table had nine recessed grooves of different sizes: four above, four below, and one separately at the bottom corner, all covered with lids.

Runsheng quickly pulled open all nine lids.

Below the four recessed grooves at the top, four very short candles were fixed, two white and two red.

Inside the four recessed grooves below were: cured meat, salted fish pieces, ham, and dried shredded pork.

No meat, no sacrifice. These four were all meat, and not easily spoiled.

Inside the separate recessed groove at the bottom corner was rice wine, poured and sealed beforehand.

A small offering table, complete with color, aroma, and taste, was directly set up.

The domestic food industry was not yet fully developed, but Li Zhuiyuan had already followed the Western trend and taken the first step of creating pre-made dishes for offerings.

While Runsheng was doing these things, Li Zhuiyuan took out two small array flags from his backpack. He first inserted the array flags into the ground in front, then put his hands together and tied knots in the flags of the two array flags.

Immediately after, from the designated place under the small table, he took out five yellow papers. With a flick, the yellow papers ignited themselves without fire. He then waved them towards the candles, and one red and one white candle also ignited.

White represented Yin, red represented Yang. Red and white both bright, Yin and Yang intersecting.

Li Zhuiyuan clapped his hands, extinguishing the five half-burned yellow papers. He kept one for himself, handed one to Runsheng, and then threw one downwards, letting it drift below.

Tan Wenbin was quick and caught it.

Finally, the young man took out a bronze mirror from his backpack, holding it in his hand, while still pinching two extra yellow papers in his other hand.

After doing these things, Li Zhuiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. This time, a simple 'Yin Yang Road Inn' was built by himself.

Although the terrain was very uneven, a large slope, a normal corpse driver would definitely not like it. Under normal circumstances, they would certainly not choose to rest here, but it didn't matter. At least the sheep's head was hung up.

At this time, firelight also flashed from next door.

Li Zhuiyuan turned his head to look and discovered that the woman in front had also inserted two pieces of white cloth. These cloths still had some yellow stains, seeming to be temporarily used children's diapers.

The sacrifice placed on the ground in front was nothing more than peanuts, melon seeds, biscuits, and peach crisps, all food the woman carried.

However, she dripped a drop of fresh blood from her fingertip onto a biscuit, acting as a piece of meat.

At this time, she also took out five sheets of paper money, burned them all up, then extinguished them. She held one sheet in her hand and stuck one sheet on the swaddling clothes.

Finally, she took out a pink plastic heart-shaped box, opened it, and there was a mirror inside.

This style was now considered old-fashioned by city girls.

She used her fingernail to pry off the mirror surface and clamped it between her fingertips.

After doing these things, the woman also turned her head to look towards Li Zhuiyuan's side. Her hand was still extra clamping three incomplete paper moneys.

The two people's gazes met.

Her gaze slightly congealed, seeming surprised that the young man's actions were actually faster than hers.

Good, this time, on this sloping ground, two 'Yin Yang Road Inns' suddenly opened.

The corpse-driving team above also finally stopped their steps.

"Ding ling ling... ding ling ling... ding ling ling..."

The yellow-robed Taoist in front began to turn, and the yellow-robed Taoist in the back had to take slightly larger steps. As for the several in the middle, they only needed to step in place.

After adjusting their direction, they began to descend.

Although it was a slope, they walked as if on flat ground.

They came down.

Li Zhuiyuan made a downward pressing gesture with his left hand. Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, who were each holding yellow paper, lowered their heads.

Perhaps they were still silently reciting in their hearts: Cannot see me, cannot see me.

Life is a cycle.

When he first returned to his hometown and constantly encountered dead bodies, Li Zhuiyuan often did this. He later taught his companions this method as well.

When you encounter something dirty that you think you have no grasp of how to solve, then pretend you cannot see it.

Now, Li Zhuiyuan found a trace of his initial familiar feeling again.

However, Li Zhuiyuan did not purely lower his head like Runsheng and Tan Wenbin.

Although the young man did not directly raise his head to watch the corpse-driving team, he let his gaze fall on the bronze mirror.

He wanted to conduct a close observation through the bronze mirror.

The distance here to Peach Blossom Village was actually not too far. A corpse-driving team inexplicably appeared and was also heading towards the direction he was going.

It was probably not the main target of his fourth wave, but it would necessarily have a connection with it.

Getting some clues beforehand would be even better.

Especially that one, whether it was the earlier three people or the current ten people, yet never landed on their feet, that one person... was the key point.

If it was said that the earlier two Taoists clamping a bamboo pole driving one corpse was respecting tradition, then now nine people lifting one corpse was no longer considered driving a corpse, this was called carrying a sedan chair.

If this guy was an evil spirit, then it was likely an existence that reached the traditional meaning, an existence that Xuanmen people were all unwilling to easily provoke.

If this guy was human... then it was even more terrifying than being a ghost.

"Ka cha... ka cha... ka cha..."

Dense and neat footsteps approached.

They came down, came to their side.

Along with it came a biting cold intent. Above the cold intent, there was a kind of pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

Runsheng held the yellow paper in his left hand and the handle of the Yellow River Shovel in his right. Although Xiao Yuan had already arranged the situation, if the situation slightly collapsed, he would not hesitate to directly open all air gates.

His intuition was dull, and like Yin Meng, he still could not walk in the Yin world. However, his sense of life and death crisis still existed. He was very clear that what they encountered this time was too powerful. They must go all out from the beginning, otherwise he might simply have no second chance to strike.

Tan Wenbin was also the same. He originally learned to walk in the Yin world, plus he had two resentful infants with him. The children's induction and emotions could be transmitted to him, further aggravating his sense of panic.

The two brats, in fear, even when facing the White Crane Child, although the two children were also afraid, they did not have such a big reaction.

Tan Wenbin's heart was beating very fast now, yet he was also trying to comfort himself, comforting himself was also comforting those two brats. If a mistake really happened, at the critical moment, the children must not cower. They had to go up with their godfather no matter what.

There must not be a situation where the ghost controlling technique failed. That way, even death would be too aggrieved.

One, two, three...

Li Zhuiyuan was looking at the surface of the bronze mirror. He was waiting for the one who did not land on his feet.

Earlier in the courtyard watching the corpse-driving team of only three people, the image of the one in the middle was simply unclear. This time, it should be possible.

Finally, that face appeared!

Li Zhuiyuan saw him in the bronze mirror, a face the same as his own.

In the mirror, it was as if it was himself, being carried while not touching the ground.

So fierce?

This was Li Zhuiyuan's first reaction.

He only wanted to glance at it through the bronze mirror, but it, in this way, wanted to take him 'away.'

There was another more terrifying possibility, which was that 'it' was unintentional. If you actively went to see it and got involved with it, then you would naturally follow it away.

The 'self' in the mirror was not himself, but his future self. This was the folk story of hooking away people's souls.

Li Zhuiyuan immediately bit his tongue tip, forcibly forcing himself to close his eyes.

He silently recited the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra in his heart, and his consciousness entered an ethereal state.

All parts of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth began to ooze fresh blood, a frightening appearance.

Even the last time he fought with that pig, the young man only suffered some injuries, far from being as embarrassed as he was just now from 'one glance.'

Runsheng noticed Xiao Yuan's abnormality. He did not raise his head, but he saw fresh blood falling on the ground in his line of sight.

In an instant, Runsheng was about to stand up and fully open his air gates to fight the opponent.

But he discovered that the hand with which Xiao Yuan was grasping the yellow paper was always pressing on his Yellow River Shovel.

Runsheng gritted his teeth and endured.

The corpse-driving team marched over, first circling around Li Zhuiyuan, Runsheng, and Tan Wenbin below, then going to the right side and circling around the woman.

Perhaps seeing that all the 'inns' had no 'guests' to pick up, they slowly walked up, back to the small road.

After adjusting their direction, they continued forward.

Everyone on the slope below lowered their heads and did not know where they specifically walked to, but they could judge by the sound of the bells moving from near to far.

When the sound of the bells completely disappeared and could not be heard, it was as if the originally drawn-dry air flowed back again.

Everyone in their hearts breathed a long sigh of relief, and sweat surged out.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Safe."

"Xiao Yuan?" Runsheng immediately checked the young man's situation.

"I'm fine, not a big problem." Li Zhuiyuan felt his face sticky, and his head was a little dizzy.

Fortunately, he had rested long enough on the train, and he had also paid attention to conserving energy on the road earlier. The current situation was a bit bad, but not too bad.

If he was exhausted, on the verge of overdraft, when this came, he was afraid he could really be drawn to learn 'Two Springs Reflecting Moon.'

Tan Wenbin climbed up with his hands and feet, took the water bottle and towel from Runsheng's hand, and began to help Xiao Yuan wipe the blood stains from his face.

Runsheng then picked up the Yellow River Shovel, stood up, faced the woman, and remained vigilant.

The woman packed up the white cloths and offerings, and ate the blood-stained biscuit into her mouth.

After everything was packed, the woman held the child, carried the luggage, stood up, and looked over.

She tilted her body a little, seeming to have originally wanted to say something, but her line of sight avoided Runsheng's obstruction and saw the young man wiping blood from his face behind her. Her eyes widened:

"You actually looked at it!"

Li Zhuiyuan heard it, but did not hurry to react, continuing to let Binbin wipe for him.

The woman held the child in her left hand, and from inside the swaddling clothes, she pulled out a short and sturdy black small axe. She said to Runsheng:

"He was hooked away, now I have to kill him!"

Runsheng raised the Yellow River Shovel, and his clothes on his body bulged, preparing to fight.

He simply did not consider the woman's words at all.

"Pa chi..."

Tan Wenbin opened a can of drink, but because he had shaken it earlier, the drink overflowed from the can. He first moved away and waited for a while, then handed it to Xiao Yuan.

Li Zhuiyuan took the drink, drank several large mouthfuls, and only then stood up again.

The woman saw the young man's action, and her doubts increased, but she still put away the axe and re-inserted it into the swaddling clothes.

"You actually weren't hooked away."

Li Zhuiyuan said: "You are not from the Wang family."

If she was from the Wang family, why didn't she order those Wang family people to run together just now? She clearly had the ability to save them, but she did not do so.

The woman shook her head: "You'd better not know my identity."

Li Zhuiyuan vaguely felt that these words were a little familiar.

The woman continued: "When you go out, you must not get involved in unnecessary trouble. This place is not peaceful recently. You all should go."

Tan Wenbin licked his lips. He felt that this woman had stolen his earlier lines.

Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Are you going to Meiling Town, Peach Blossom Village?"

The woman began to walk up the slope, her head not turning back, and said: "That's not a good place. It's not fun, you'll lose your life."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then why are you still going?"

The woman: "I have to go, you are not the same."

"What if I also have to go?"

"Heh, good words are hard to persuade a damned ghost. You all can do as you please."

Tan Wenbin whispered: "This woman's tone is very arrogant."

Li Zhuiyuan did not comment. After Runsheng packed up the offering table, the three people also climbed up the slope and came to the small road.

The woman had already turned back at this time, back into the courtyard.

She kicked open the door with one foot and walked in.

In a short while, the old couple were all driven out of the house into the courtyard by her, one lift and one kick.

Especially the old granny, there was a clear shoe print on her face.

Originally, everything was fine, just because this old granny shouted an extra sentence 'there are still five people not on the road', which led to a new round of anomaly almost happening.

It was also no wonder the woman was angry. Five people, excluding the young man's group of three, the old granny even counted her son inside the swaddling clothes as one person.

As a mother, she could not stand anyone harming her child.

The old couple cried to heaven and earth, seeming not to understand why, and continuously begged for mercy and shouted in pain.

Li Zhuiyuan said to Tan Wenbin and Runsheng: "Go inside the house and check carefully once."

Tan Wenbin took the lead step. Runsheng hesitated a little. He dared not leave Xiao Yuan alone in the courtyard facing this woman.

When the woman took out the small axe earlier, that fierce aura, could even make his air gates ache. This was definitely an expert.

"She won't harm us for now. Runsheng, go inside and flip through boxes and cabinets and check carefully."

"Okay." Runsheng still chose to listen to Xiao Yuan's words. However, when passing by the woman, he still glared at her with his gaze once.

The woman gave the old couple another kick, kicking them to the ground. Immediately, she looked provocatively towards Li Zhuiyuan with her gaze, and actively walked several steps towards Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan stood there, not moving.

Finally, the woman stopped her footsteps herself and asked: "This is not like you. Earlier on the car when I was feeding the child milk, you were all suspiciously staring at me carefully. Why are you so relieved about me now?"

"Mutual."

The woman was not from the Wang family. This point could be confirmed at present.

She pinched the child, making the child cry. She was actually reminding them in a very covert way.

Why was it covert?

Because she was too lazy to speak directly, she wanted to see the Wang family people die. As for whether their three people died or not, she was also not too obsessed. If they could understand the hint, then run. If they couldn't understand, then follow along and carry the corpse.

Perhaps, why she pinched the child to make the child cry once was also returning the favor of letting Runsheng help her set up the tent and give her a sleeping bag.

This mentality made Li Zhuiyuan feel a very strong sense of familiarity.

And the reason why he let Runsheng set up the tent and give her a sleeping bag earlier was not purely out of kindness. He was really unable to observe any flaws in the woman, yet he was always uneasy about the woman. He simply took and gave, changing the way of exerting force.

Showing kindness was also probing.

However, he didn't owe her either, because even if she didn't pinch the child, he planned to run anyway.

As for later, he set up the offering table, burned five yellow papers, and kept two sheets. The woman also burned five paper moneys and kept three sheets.

What was kept was all prepared for the other.

It was just that there was no need to be affectionate here. The intention of wanting to lend a hand was not strong. It was purely out of fear that if they didn't give the other, the other would desperately come to mess things up, destroy their arrangements, and drag them to die together.

Didn't you see that both sides first hurried to arrange their own things, then pinched extra paper money, and then went to see the other's reaction?

If they were really that ancient chivalrous, one of the two people would have shouted: Don't panic, I have a way!

Everyone was quite indifferent people, but indifferent people were instead good to get along. Before there were absolute interest contradictions, they would be very restrained and would not produce unnecessary conflicts.

The woman turned back and looked at the old couple on the ground: "Call your people and kill these two old things."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Why don't you do it yourself?"

The woman: "It's not convenient for me."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Coincidentally, me too."

Immediately, Li Zhuiyuan pointed to his forehead: "I suspect that these two elders have a problem here."

They were not acting. From the moment they entered here, Li Zhuiyuan had never given up observing them, and he did not see the slightest problem. This meant that at that time, they were probably not acting.

And when the corpse-driving team came, the two elders showed an abnormal excitement and high efficiency.

This situation was like after being stimulated by something, their personality and thinking changed. That was Lin Shiyou's future big illness, personality split. Runsheng and Tan Wenbin walked out. They really flipped through boxes and cabinets and found things. Runsheng held two sets of old yellow Taoist robes in his hand. On the robes were still trigram mirrors, peach wood swords and other tools.

Tan Wenbin held a photo frame in his hand. It was found from under the bed. There were four people in the photo. The two elders sitting in the middle were not so old at that time. The twin sons on both sides were also not fully grown in height, but it could be distinguished that this pair of twins were the front and rear two young yellow-robed Taoists in the corpse-driving team.

The woman also saw these things. When she looked at these two elders again, her eyes revealed thinking.

Immediately, she stepped on the old man's chest with one foot and questioned: "Say, what is your relationship with them!"

The old man hemmed and hawed, only caring about showing pain on his face, and did not answer.

The woman continued to ask: "Your sons, and that thing, what is their relationship!"

Hearing "sons", the old man's expression stagnated, and he immediately shouted: "Our two sons have both gone out to work and earn big money, get rich, and then come back to pick us up into the city to enjoy blessings!"

The woman took a deep breath. It could be seen that she was angry now.

Li Zhuiyuan actively walked over and said: "Let me ask."

The woman retracted her foot and stood to the side, vacating the position for the young man.

"Binbin, find a chopstick and a bowl."

Please... You... Collect 6...9... Book... Bar...!

"Okay."

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the front of the old granny and took out a Clear Heart Talisman, sticking it towards her forehead.

The old granny's originally panicked and fearful emotions suddenly quieted down.

The young man slowly swayed the bone ring on his fingertip back and forth in front of the old granny's line of sight.

The old granny's eyelids slightly lowered.

Li Zhuiyuan made a gesture.

Tan Wenbin picked up the chopsticks and began to knock the bowl: "Ding... ding... ding..."

The spirit in the old granny's eyes recovered again, as if she had changed into a different person.

Li Zhuiyuan put his face closer and whispered to her. The old granny also began to reply in the same volume.

While talking, Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand and continuously snapped his fingers several times towards the woman's direction.

Don't think about eavesdropping.

The woman's chest heaved up and down in anger.

After asking, Li Zhuiyuan pressed down the talisman paper on the old granny's forehead with his thumb. The old granny's body trembled and she fell asleep.

Immediately, the young man took out another Clear Heart Talisman, also sticking and pressing it on the old man's forehead. The old man also fell asleep.

"Runsheng, carry them back to bed."

"Okay."

Runsheng carried the two elders into the house.

Li Zhuiyuan immediately looked at the woman, not speaking.

Want to listen?

Exchange information.

The woman opened her mouth and said: "Old Heaven Gate's four corpse-driving families, do you know?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I know."

"Behind Peach Blossom Village in Meiling Town, there is a lake, ancient name: Drink Horse Lake.

Locally, it has always been rumored that there is a water burial at the bottom of the lake, burying an ancient general.

Later, a Yuan army came to this place, excavated the water burial, and robbed the tomb for wealth, awakening that general and triggering disaster, almost harming the four sides.

For the sake of the common people and their hometown, the four great families of Old Heaven Gate jointly took action, and with the help of a great figure, together suppressed that honorable general back.

Do you know about these?"

Li Zhuiyuan said somewhat impatiently: "I know."

"In this battle, that great figure suffered heavy injuries and disappeared from the Jianghu ever since.

The four great families of Old Heaven Gate also suffered heavy losses, among which the Cow Knife Jie family was the most severe. Legend has it that the head of the Jie family in that generation even personally suppressed the corpse with his body, only then helping that great figure complete the seal and resolve a great disaster.

After the remnants of the Cow Knife Jie family, they migrated their clan residence to this Peach Blossom Village, guarding it for generations.

One was that the family's losses in that battle were too heavy, and the other was that moving out of the world was not conducive to development.

Cow Knife Jie gradually declined from then on. Although they still had the name of the four families of Old Heaven Gate, they gradually became nominal.

Do you perhaps know about these?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I know. Any fresh points?"

"During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it should have been the golden period for the development of corpse drivers. Cow Knife Jie also wanted to take advantage of this to revive the family, but unfortunately, several attempts all failed.

In the late Qing dynasty, the heavens were turbulent, and the suppressed general in Drink Horse Pool rose again. The other three families of Old Heaven Gate again sent people to gather here and re-suppress that heresy back.

However, the records of this time are sparse, and the four families are all very taboo about this.

We only know that the ferocity of this battle was not inferior to the one in the Yuan Dynasty at all. Cow Knife Jie was almost exterminated and completely declined, leaving only a name.

Few of the people sent by the other three families returned alive, and all the survivors did not mention a word."

Li Zhuiyuan sighed: "Alas, the previous stories you can know, I can also know. Can you not talk about some contemporary things, don't waste our time."

"Ten years ago, it is said that a person from the Cow Knife Jie family mistakenly entered the evil path and was bewitched by that suppressed general, becoming a walking corpse under him."

Li Zhuiyuan's expression became serious, as if to say, finally, she was talking about something he didn't know.

The woman: "Then, it's just like this."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Just like what?"

The woman: "It's just like what you saw. The one you saw earlier should be a corpse driver who died here that year. I don't know which of the four great families they were from.

They died, but they 'lived' again.

In the past ten years, many such things have happened near Peach Blossom Village.

I just didn't expect that this time it actually involved so far. This is still not Meiling Town, and there is still a long way to go from Peach Blossom Village. They can actually move here."

"Corpse drivers, people drive corpses, corpses drive people?" Li Zhuiyuan's eyes showed thought after asking, "That person from the Jie family, is he using this method to rebuild his family?"

The woman was slightly stunned when she heard the words.

Li Zhuiyuan pursued the question: "What, did someone also tell you what I just said?"

The woman did not answer, only lowered her head and lightly patted the child inside the swaddling clothes.

Li Zhuiyuan: "The child's dad, your husband?"

The woman raised her head again, her eyes showing anger.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Looks like it really is. Where is your man?"

The woman: "You are not qualified to know his name, nor are you qualified to know him."

"Hmm, perhaps."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded. Although he had only been walking the Jianghu for a short time, he was in a high position, and there were not many people in this Jianghu that he was not qualified to know.

However, he had again extracted a piece of information, which was that the woman's husband was not dead, she was not a widow.

A guess vaguely rose in Li Zhuiyuan's heart.

The woman: "Hey, your turn."

Li Zhuiyuan opened his mouth and said: "She said that her two sons went out following immortals to seek immortality and ask the way. After their cultivation succeeds, they will come back and bring their old couple together to enjoy blessings in the heavenly palace."

"Are you messing with me?"

"I can swear, just these."

"Then you talked to that old granny for so long just now?"

"I chatted with her about some other things. I asked her if her two sons were anxious about not being married yet? She said they weren't anxious, saying how could mortal women match her sons. When they ascend to immortality later, her two sons can go marry fairies."

"Hehehe..." The woman let out a teeth-gnashing laugh, "Who exactly are you?"

"We are the exploration team of Jinling Audit University. Our team leader's family runs a black-hearted restaurant, with a lot of pocket money. After learning that supernatural events happened here, he sponsored us to come explore."

The woman held the child and turned to leave.

Li Zhuiyuan stood in the courtyard, just watching her back disappear in the distance. She was still going towards Meiling Town.

Tan Wenbin opened his mouth: "Xiao Yuan, what is her identity exactly?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I suspect she is the same as you."

Tan Wenbin's eyes rolled: "Worshiping the Dragon King?"

"Not necessarily worshiping the Dragon King, but they should be currently walking the Jianghu. It's just that they may not use the term 'walking the Jianghu'."

Walking the Jianghu is a term exclusive to the Dragon King family. The woman's skills and abilities were indeed not bad, but her demeanor was really not like that of the Dragon King family.

Aunt Liu earlier was also dressed as a rural woman in great-grandfather's home, but that was for disguise and blending in. After coming to the university, she dressed up and was exactly the image of a university female teacher.

The kind of demeanor developed from growing up by the old lady's side since childhood cannot be erased, and the old lady was already considered the most low-key in the Dragon King family.

Tan Wenbin: "Is that child her biological child?"

"I looked at the child's face, and the mother-child appearance is very clear, and disguising breastfeeding period, this capital is not too big?"

"Indeed, but bringing a child to walk the Jianghu, will his family's 'Dragon King' agree?"

"The child's dad, possibly just that 'Dragon King'."

"Then I understand even less, how dangerous this is..."

"Bringing a child to walk the Jianghu, merit falls on the child's body."

"Damn, compared to my parents' hope for me to become a dragon earlier, they can really be considered doting."

"She is not from the Wang family, but she should have been always staring at the Wang family people. Our arrival allowed the Wang family to take action, and she also followed up, hitching a ride.

Binbin, doesn't it feel very similar?"

Tan Wenbin: "Right, like our earlier separate actions."

Runsheng was puzzled: "Do they also use the same method as us?"

In Runsheng's opinion, his family's Xiao Yuan had the smartest brain.

If other families also used the methods they used, did that not mean that other families also had people as smart as Xiao Yuan?

Li Zhuiyuan: "Soaked in Jiang water for a long time, more or less you can touch a bit of the wave's temper. This is not strange."

Tan Wenbin: "Xiao Yuan, I feel that woman is responsible for staring at the Wang family. As for the Xie family and the Bu family, there should also be their people staring at their movements. Her husband, that 'Dragon King'... either he is staring at one of those two families, or he simply went directly to Peach Blossom Village to find the Cow Knife Jie."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Hmm."

Tan Wenbin shrugged: "They are clearly walking according to the flow of Jiang water, a really rough and primitive method."

Runsheng heard the words, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, Runsheng immediately asked again: "If we encounter others in her team or encounter her husband, will there be danger to us?"

Among people who walk the Jianghu, there is also competition.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you still remember what Zhao Yi did earlier? Shout slogans, raise the tune. Even if they want to make a move on us, they have to weigh the price.

However, now is not the time to worry about this matter, because, we seem to be too far ahead."

This time he took the initiative to seek the wave.

Unexpectedly, after seeking the examination hall, the previous field's examination was not yet over, and there were actually still examinees answering questions inside.

Now he was equivalent to standing at the classroom window, watching them write papers at close range.

No,

Not only that.

Strictly speaking, the team of corpse drivers they just experienced was targeting the Wang family people, but that wave should have belonged to that woman, and as a result, he also experienced it together.

So, he was not standing at the window watching, but had already sat in the examination hall.

He sat next to the woman, becoming deskmates. Although he had no papers in his hand, he also took out a draft paper, watching her questions, and whatever questions she did, he also did together.

Reactions, actions, arrangement methods, still all exactly the same.

"Heh..."

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly laughed once. He felt it was very interesting:

"We are now in other people's walking the Jianghu event."

...

Li Zhuiyuan did not hurry to continue setting out to Peach Blossom Village, but let everyone take advantage of the fact that it was not yet dawn to rest. He also took a small nap to recover some energy.

After the sky brightened, Li Zhuiyuan had Runsheng combine the gasoline in the two vans, and then drove by Tan Wenbin, carrying the three people to continue forward.

The road section that had been landslides yesterday had already been cleared. The construction personnel, after learning that they were going to Peach Blossom Village, told them that Peach Blossom Village had a serious geological disaster risk years ago, and the villagers inside had been relocated by the government early on. It was now a deserted village.

Tan Wenbin returned a pack of cigarettes to the people, then started the car, and continued forward.

They passed Meiling Town, used the town phone to contact Yin Meng and Lin Shiyou's side to replenish some supplies, and then continued to set out.

When they went to Peach Blossom Village again, the dirt road was obviously not repaired for a long time, and because Peach Blossom Village was already deserted, they did not see any vehicles or pedestrians.

But as they drove, a tractor parked on the roadside appeared.

In the haystack next to the tractor, a full-bearded man was lying. Both of his legs were twisted, obviously deliberately broken. Seeing someone coming, he quickly let out wails, trying to seek help.

Tan Wenbin turned his head to look at Li Zhuiyuan: "Xiao Yuan?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "She did it."

Xiao Yuan didn't say stop the car, so Tan Wenbin just continued to drive forward.

The reason for not stopping was very simple. Peach Blossom Village was already deserted, and no one was walking on this road. The woman walked to Meiling Town last night, found a tractor, and let the other person carry her to Peach Blossom Village.

She hadn't reached her destination yet, and she didn't need to break the driver's legs in advance. It was probably that the driver saw a woman holding a child, and it was in the wilderness, and had crooked thoughts.

Sure enough, they hadn't driven long before the woman's figure appeared in front.

The woman was sideways, looking at this familiar van.

Li Zhuiyuan actively reached out and opened the car door, saying: "Get on the car."

The woman hesitated a bit, but finally held the child and got into the car.

The car continued to drive. The woman suddenly opened her mouth and said: "He didn't follow the rules."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Have time to get a driver's license."

It was clearly just noon, but the sky had already gradually become gloomy, and a turbid rain began to fall.

The car was not easy to drive, shaking nonstop.

The woman began to feed the child milk. This time, Li Zhuiyuan turned his head away.

The rain became heavier and heavier. The lake water in front overflowed outwards, flooding the road, and the road was broken.

Li Zhuiyuan took out a black umbrella from his backpack and handed it to the woman. The woman opened the umbrella and got off the car.

"Luo Sheng umbrella? You are corpse fishers."

Li Zhuiyuan subsequently got off. Tan Wenbin held up an umbrella and covered Xiao Yuan.

Facing the woman's question, Li Zhuiyuan answered very calmly: "Very strange?"

"I didn't expect to meet colleagues. In which dock do you have a seat?"

Li Zhuiyuan cupped his hands: "Nantong Hao River dock - Corpse Fisher Li."

"Oh."

The woman responded and waded forward, holding the umbrella and the child.

Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Just 'oh'?"

"To be able to see him is already your honor. He is the future Flood Dragon."

"I look forward to it very much."

The water was getting deeper and deeper.

Li Zhuiyuan could only climb onto Runsheng's back.

According to reason, they should have arrived, but they did not see any traces of the village in front. The young man suspected that Peach Blossom Village had already been flooded by the lake water.

The water level was getting higher and higher. Everyone began to swim.

That swaddling clothes surprisingly floated like a small boat.

The child was very obedient, still not crying or making noise. This was truly seeing the world from a young age.

Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng's shoulder and pointed to the front. Runsheng understood, came to the woman's front, helped her block the water waves, and made it more stable behind.

The woman noticed and asked: "Are you traveling?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm sightseeing."

The woman suddenly asked seriously: "Hey, Corpse Fisher Li, you haven't lit the lamp yet, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan also answered seriously: "Hmm, I myself haven't lit the lamp."

The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Since last night, she seemed to be worrying about something, but under such a serious question, the other party would definitely not lie.

Her husband said that lying in this matter would damage the heart energy.

The woman: "Corpse Fisher Li, I'll give you an opportunity. See if you can grasp it yourself."

"What opportunity?"

"When you see my husband, I can help you introduce him. See if you have a chance to worship the Flood Dragon and rise."

"Thank you very much for the lift."

"I said it's not certain. My husband has his own ideas, but I can feel that although you are young, you are not the same, very not the same."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Runsheng stopped.

The woman also stopped.

Runsheng raised his hand and pointed to the front.

On the water surface in front, a person was floating, wearing a raincoat, face down, not moving.

Runsheng: "Dead body."

The woman: "That's my husband!"
