Chapter 145

Chapter 141

Runsheng has a special ability to sense something about dead bodies.

Li Zhuoyuan trusts Runsheng's judgment.

However, the young man didn't sense much panic in the woman's words, "That is my husband."

"Stay away from her!"

Runsheng grabbed Tan Wenbin's arm, and his internal energy surged. While they had been swimming normally before, it was now like throwing a fish into water; they instantly sped up, creating distance from the woman.

With the woman's location as the center, dry grass began to appear one by one. This was just the part above the water. Below the water, straw figures with talismans on their backs were lurking.

And the person in the raincoat finally lifted their head, revealing a face full of vivid scars, looking at the three people in front of them with an examining gaze.

Anyone in this situation, seeing their wife and child surrounded by three strange men, would have thoughts.

Li Zhuoyuan decisively chose to avoid, which was equivalent to expressing his attitude in a timely manner and preventing a conflict.

Because he had no reason to friction with the other side.

Theoretically speaking, everyone was in the same examination hall. Although the papers were different, the subject matter was consistent. After they solved the first wave, he would go and wrap things up.

Any unnecessary consumption for their team might lead to a decrease in the completion degree of their wave, thus increasing the difficulty when his team went up.

The smartest approach was not only not to drag their feet, but also to provide some assistance, allowing them to complete that wave perfectly and weaken the problem of his own wave, or even... solve it together with guidance.

The other side's actions meant that the straw figures all floated to the surface of the water, then slowly scattered. The talismans floated on the lake surface one by one.

Li Zhuoyuan glanced at them; they were Chenzhou talismans.

The person in the raincoat didn't move. The woman, pushing the swaddled baby, actively swam towards them.

Li Zhuoyuan said, "He is injured, and very seriously."

Inside a nest, only two kinds of people could sleep soundly.

When the woman talked about her husband, she was extremely proud, indicating that he was also extremely conceited in character.

Li Zhuoyuan looked around the surroundings, then pointed to the nearest shore beach. The three of them went ashore first.

After hearing his wife's narration, the raincoat wearer chose to approach this shore beach.

After going ashore, his true appearance was revealed.

A strong, dense, dead energy, even Li Zhuoyuan could smell it.

The other side's body had many wounds, which were festering with pus. And these wounds were all old wounds that had relapsed, especially on his face, those several thick, rough scars seemed to have things wriggling inside.

"South Tong fishing corpse Li?"

The other side's voice was hoarse and tired.

Li Zhuoyuan walked forward two steps and nodded to him, "Exactly me."

"My wife is kind-hearted, easily deceived."

"Respected madam is wise, not easy to fool."

The raincoat wearer stared at Li Zhuoyuan, then suddenly raised his voice, asking loudly as if throwing something to the ground, "Fishing corpse Li, have you ever lit the lamp!"

The feeling when the woman asked this question and the feeling when the man asked this question were indeed different.

That kind of questioning felt like a ship's body approaching, bringing up waves, impacting you.

It seemed like an invisible wind was coming towards the young man's face; but this wind, after touching the young man, quickly spun and dissipated again, perhaps even this wind itself felt guilty.

In Jianghu, the tacit understanding behind the convention necessarily led to the formation of its rules in this way.

Roughly speaking, this was called heart qi; deeply speaking, it was the Jiang water staring at your courage.

Therefore, even if you had already been scared to cry out to your father and mother by the Jiang water, as long as you still didn't want to give up the act of secondary lamp lighting, you had to wipe away your tears and loudly shout out that slogan.

But unfortunately, a gap appeared in the Jiang water at Li Zhuoyuan's location.

It was the Jiang water that didn't guard the rules first, and wrapped itself in the Jiang water before he lit the lamp or swore.

The innate program was unjust, leading to its binding force on Li Zhuoyuan being lost here.

The young man could question Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi couldn't avoid it.

But the young man himself could casually pick up an identity and put it on himself.

This was originally a small and insignificant "flaw", but when Li Zhuoyuan began to contend further with the "question setter", just like now, this "flaw" could play a huge role.

Lighting the lamp meant everyone was an opponent. If you could avoid this identity, then the level of apprehension would be greatly reduced.

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Haven't made a move to light the lamp yet."

When the raincoat wearer heard these words, his gaze indeed eased.

He clasped his hands and said to Li Zhuoyuan, "Changsha grass mang Xiong Shan."

Li Zhuoyuan was slightly taken aback. The welcoming ritual he saw today was simpler than his own "South Tong fishing corpse Li."

Xiong Shan revealed a proud smile and asked, "But you've never heard of it?"

Claiming to be a grass mang, without a family background, being able to walk to this step by his own ability was his pride, just like Zhu Yuanzhang not erasing his history of being a beggar after becoming emperor.

Li Zhuoyuan deliberately catered to his preference and replied, "Indeed, I've never heard of it."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiong Shan let out a hearty laugh. His wife looked at her husband from the side, also revealing a smile.

"Not heard is right. I have no door, no sect. It's just that when I was young, I was abducted by an evil person with an incomplete mental technique as his sacrificial child. After being tortured for several years, I found an opportunity to kill him and seize his family fortune. Only then did I enter this line.

Later, I thought about lighting the lamp and traveling Jianghu until now. I know several good brothers and have also met my wife and had a child."

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Admirable!"

Xiong Shan looked at Li Zhuoyuan and said, "I'm a rough man. Although I've gained a lot of experience in Jianghu, I've never heard of South Tong fishing corpse Li. But my wife said you are a capable one, and you are so young. I fear that in the future, another dragon will rise on the Jiang surface."

"Accepting your auspicious words."

The woman began to give Li Zhuoyuan eye signals.

She thought her husband had already set the stage. If the young man bowed and worshipped now, his future prospects would be immeasurable. At least with every wave that passed in Jianghu, he could get huge benefits.

Li Zhuoyuan saw it but pretended not to see it.

Xiong Shan then gently patted his wife's hand and said, "People are young and promising. They will definitely wander on their own in the future. Why would they follow me?"

Li Zhuoyuan asked, "Are you injured?"

Xiong Shan's cordial expression immediately subsided, and he nodded, "Just received a small injury."

"The corpse poison inside your body can't be suppressed?"

"You can see that?"

"Do you have a way to treat it yourself?"

"It's just a matter of spending more time. No harm."

"I have a quick method. Want to try?"

Xiong Shan asked, "What is your purpose?"

Li Zhuoyuan said, "We are all people who eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. What's strange about helping each other?"

"Is it really that pure?"

"My elders at home have been whispering in my ear about how our generation should make defending the righteous path our duty."

"Good. Since you've opened your mouth, I can't show cowardice either. If you have a method, help me try it out, but let me explain beforehand, my situation may be very complex."

"I'll do my best."

After Xiong Shan took off his raincoat, he sat cross-legged on the spot.

Not only his face, but also his chest was covered in thick scars, with essential blood flowing inside.

Runsheng took a deep breath, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva repeatedly.

Xiong Shan looked at Runsheng doubtfully, "Are you hungry?"

Then, Xiong Shan looked at his wife, "Lihua, get him some food."

"No need, I have some."

Runsheng took out compressed biscuits from his bag, softened them with rainwater, and ate them while staring at Xiong Shan's body.

Li Zhuoyuan walked to Xiong Shan's front and carefully observed.

If the other side was poisoned, then he had no way. That was Yinmeng's profession, although Yinmeng didn't seem to understand detoxification either, but she could try one method after another.

The corpse poison in Xiong Shan's body was self-inflicted. After reaching a certain degree, it would be suppressed, and combined with his injury, it would easily erupt and backlash its master.

This guy was fine, but the proportion of the dead energy in his body was very large.

No wonder Brother Runsheng would drool at him. From a dietary perspective, Xiong Shan was both flavorful and fresh and tender, like a piece of high-grade aged steak.

The cure was also very easy. Just temporarily arrange a small array in his body to suppress the corpse qi. As for these external injuries, they were a small matter for Xiong Shan.

Li Zhuoyuan took out small array flags from his bag.

Xiong Shan saw the shape and asked, "You know arrays?"

"Um, just a little."

"This mud on all sides, I fear it's not convenient to arrange an array."

"It doesn't matter. I'll arrange the array in your body. It will be a bit painful, you just endure it a bit."

"No harm, just do it."

Li Zhuoyuan stabbed the small array flags into the other side's body one by one. Every time he stabbed one in, he had to turn it with his fingers, and when he let go, he added a flick of his fingertip.

This feeling was like acupuncture, but the needles were bigger.

The woman, holding the child, watched vigilantly from the side.

After arranging the array flags, Li Zhuoyuan reminded, "I want to open the array, you cooperate with the array power to suppress the corpse poison inside your body together."

"Good!"

"Brother Binbin, hold the umbrella."

Li Zhuoyuan opened the array.

Xiong Shan's eyes widened, and his body trembled. Soon, the originally convex scars began to recede, and pus accelerated outwards.

Tan Wenbin immediately blocked the Luosheng umbrella in front of Brother Xiao Yuan, avoiding his clothes being stained with the body filth.

The ground around Xiong Shan was a foul-smelling black, but his body felt much refreshed, and the wound areas also began to ooze red fresh blood, proving that it was indeed getting better and recovering.

"Hu..." Xiong Shan let out a breath, daring not to believe, "You call this knowing just a little about arrays?"

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse."

"May consider entering my group. I will fully protect your safety."

Li Zhuoyuan shook his head.

Xiong Shan was not angry either, and mocked himself, "Look, I'm ignorant. South Tong Li family must also be one of those hidden world big clans in Jianghu."

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Not to that extent, but life is still quite good."

Great grandfather had wine and meat every day. Life in the village could indeed be called nourishing.

Xiong Shan said, "Too humble."

Those who were good at arrays in Jianghu were like children who wrote piano, skiing, and equestrian in their interest and hobby column this year. The children were not necessarily truly excellent, but their family conditions were probably not bad.

Xiong Shan stood up, let the rainwater wash away the blood and dirt on his body, and then put on the raincoat again.

"Little brother, I owe you a favor. Without your hand, I would have been delayed for a long time because of this, and the situation might have gotten worse."

"You just solve the matter here, and that will count as returning my favor."

"At such a young age, you actually have this kind of character."

"Did you go in before?"

"Um, I went in before. Peach Flower Village is at the bottom of the lake. After the village, there is an underwater pool, which should be the original center of Yin Ma Lake. From there, you can enter the deep place of water burial.

Inside... there are many people.

I successfully mixed in and was almost about to see that general, but at the last step, my identity was detected. There were too many dead bodies inside, the corpse qi was too heavy, and I was injured, leading to the corpse poison inside my body not being suppressed, and I almost died inside.

Fortunately, I also got a rough understanding of the situation inside. I'm just waiting for my people to arrive, as well as people from the other three families, and then go down again once to reseal that general."

"The other three families. Do you mean Xie, Wang, and Bu?"

"Otherwise, what?"

"The Wang family people are already folded."

"Lihua told me, but that doesn't count. Although this general is already rotten and unbearable, he is far from restoring his bravery from back then, but he is also not someone that you can just send small cats and dogs from a family to cope with.

These three families must send out their true core clan people.

I need them to cover for me and create opportunities for me."

Li Zhuoyuan said, "I feel you might be thinking too simply."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I have heard the story of the Old Heaven Gate four families, but I am doubtful about the truth of the story."

"Even if there is some exaggeration, it won't be too absurd."

"It might be very absurd. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it should have been the golden age of corpse drivers. Several large-scale immigration waves created a large demand for transporting corpses, but even in this environment, Niu Dao Jie still couldn't revive. What could be the reason for that?"

"Are you suspecting that the three families have always been suppressing Niu Dao Jie? But even among the Old Heaven Gate four families, it's normal for there to be struggles and squeezing between factions, isn't it?"

"Perhaps, it's more serious than this."

"Is it possible that they really dare to take such a big risk? Aren't they afraid that Heaven Way has eyes?"

"Heaven Way only pays attention to the result. It doesn't seem to care about others."

"We still need to think more positively about people. I believe that in this kind of matter, those three families won't do foolish things."

Li Zhuoyuan nodded, "So, you plan to let those three families help you distract the 'people' in the water burial by sending them to their deaths?"

"What do you mean by sending them to their deaths? That's too unpleasant. This is called sacrifice for the righteous path, hehe."

Xiong Shan's laughter revealed ferocity.

He wanted to pretend a little, but since the young man actively pointed it out, he simply didn't pretend.

Mainly, a person who rose from grass roots to his current position could be upright, but absolutely not really silly or stupid, otherwise it would be too unfair to those who had already drowned under the Jiang water.

"Have you seen that Niu Dao Jie?"

"I have explored both above and below the water, but I haven't seen it. However, I did discover some man-made traces. It's someone deliberately trying to break the seal and release that general, at least, let that general's power overflow to the outside."

Li Zhuoyuan was silent. He heard that Xiong Shan's purpose was to reseal the general, then his own future arrangements should be to solve that Niu Dao Jie.

"Gu du gu du... gu du gu du..."

In the lake water ahead, strange strings of bubbles bubbled up. At first, there was only one place, and soon after, several more places appeared.

"They're coming out again, a bit closer. Lihua."

"Okay."

The woman responded, once again taking out the child's diaper, setting up the cloth sail as a table, and burning paper.

Li Zhuoyuan didn't move this time, reaching out to take the half-burned paper money from the woman's hand. Runsheng and Tan Wenbin also each took one.

Soon, a team emerged from the water dozens of meters away to the side.

Everyone lowered their heads, including Xiong Shan.

As soon as that team came out, another team appeared on the other side, followed by the third, fourth...

A total of eight teams.

Each team specifically came to the "Yin Yang Road inn" on everyone's side, circled around, and then left with the sound of a bell.

Li Zhuoyuan didn't attempt to peek at "it" this time, but even with his head lowered, his peripheral vision could see their feet on the ground.

They were all two people walking one in front of the other,夾ing a bamboo pole between them, with one person in the middle whose feet didn't touch the ground.

After they left, everyone raised their heads.

Xiong Shan said, "When they come back, there are more people than just these. They will always pick up some people on the road."

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Is this the general's patrol team?"

"Very good analogy, very vivid.

Every corpse driver team has one person whose feet don't touch the ground. He represents the general's eyes. Any peeking at him will lead to bad consequences.

Lihua said, have you seen them before?"

"Driven by curiosity."

"How do you do it? Can you teach me?"

"I am willing to teach, but it's not easy to learn."

"It doesn't matter. You asked me so much about the matter below. I believe you want to go down and see, right?" "Yes, that's right."

"I can take you down and properly satisfy your curiosity."

"Thank you."

"Then do you know how I went down?"

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Is it possible that when the corpse driver team that came out before came back..."

"That's right, I mixed in by lifting the bamboo pole."

...

Next, it was time to wait.

Xiong Shan nurtured his body injuries while teasing his son on his knee.

Runsheng set up two tents to avoid the rain, one on each side.

Please... you... collect 6... 9... book... bar...!

Li Zhuoyuan quietly ate his biscuits. The young man's heart was very clear. He was helping Xiong Shan suppress the corpse poison, and the atmosphere between the two sides was also very friendly, but there was still a line between them.

Xiong Shan could sacrifice those three families as "sacrifices", then he could also sacrifice himself when needed.

However, there was nothing to be dissatisfied with. Instead, this mode of getting along where each party was clear about the other's boundaries made both sides very comfortable.

Neither of them was a fool, and they both had a sense of propriety, so there was no need to worry about the other party's behavior inexplicably deviating.

The rain stopped, but the originally dim sky completely darkened.

Xiong Shan, holding his son, actively walked over and asked Li Zhuoyuan, "Do you like children?"

Li Zhuoyuan shook his head.

"I like my son very much."

"I can tell."

"Precisely because I suffered too much when I was young, I want to give him the best things."

"Um."

Li Zhuoyuan had no intention of arguing with the other party about the so-called "child-rearing," although their way of hoping their child would become a dragon would probably be considered too extreme even by extreme factions.

"This is the mentality of being a parent."

Li Zhuoyuan took out a pack of biscuits and handed it to him, "Want to taste this?"

"No need, I'm not used to eating this."

"Oh." Li Zhuoyuan didn't force him. He just wanted to interrupt the other party's potential continuation of the conversation.

"Little brother, how much do you know about Jianghu?"

"Not much."

"Although you are still young, when you really want to light the lamp and travel Jianghu, you'll have to wait until you are an adult at least, but it's still good to know a little about some things in advance.

Look at this lake in front of you. It looks like this now, but when you light the lamp and look at it again, it will be a different appearance.

At that time, even if you don't want to walk, the Jiang water will push you forward. It's fundamentally not up to you."

"I've heard my elders at home say that you can relight the lamp once, either retire or find a dock to insert yourself."

"That's admitting defeat."

"Aren't you admitting defeat?"

Xiong Shan lowered his head, looking at his son in his arms, "Actually, I'm already tired, but I want to strive a little more for him."

"Understood."

"I know this mentality of mine is not right. People who have red eyes at the gambling table often end up losing everything."

"But I just can't imagine that I'm the one who wins in the end, can I?"

"Hehe." Xiong Shan let out two dry laughs. "Jianghu is too big. I have also seen people who came from the wilderness who make me admire them.

Not to mention those who came from family sects. Some of their means and techniques, I don't even understand.

And above them, there are truly top-level families.

In Jianghu, they are called the Dragon King families.

This kind of family has produced too many final winners in history. Their foundation is even more terrifyingly deep.

Their family descendants, when they light the lamp and come out, don't call it traveling Jianghu, nor traveling, nor wandering. They call it - walking Jiang.

Listen, how grand this tone is, and yet they really have the foundation."

Li Zhuoyuan listened quietly. He was thinking why Xiong Shan wanted to tell him this.

Thinking about it, he concluded that the other party really didn't seem to have any malicious intentions towards him. It seemed purely out of emotion?

Xiong Shan said, "You say, can I contend with these people who walk Jiang and win?"

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Things are man-made. Even the Dragon King families didn't originally come out of the wilderness, did they?"

"Little brother, of course you can have this kind of heart, but I can't." Xiong Shan stretched out a finger and gently pinched his son's face. "If I hadn't seen you today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this feeling either."

"Um?"

"At such a young age, using arrays to such a divine level, do you know, this is very scary."

"It's not to that extent."

"It's very much to that extent, because I don't believe you just know arrays and others don't."

"It's okay."

"It's just lucky you didn't light the lamp. I know I don't have to compete with you in the end, but I know that in some corners of Jianghu, there are definitely young people as excellent as you, and they have lit the lamp.

Just thinking that I still have to fight desperately with such a person to get that last seat.

I will be afraid."

Li Zhuoyuan said, "If you continue to say this, aren't you afraid of affecting your heart qi?"

"It doesn't matter. Seeing you, and then looking at my son, I feel hopeful. Hehe, I don't mean to take advantage of you, but when I was healing just now and looking at him on my knee, I was really thinking in my mind, should I retreat?

Properly raise him, and later this Jianghu, let him strive.

Wait until this wave passes,

I just..."

Li Zhuoyuan raised his hand, "It's best not to say these kinds of words, it's not auspicious."

"Hahahahaha!"

Xiong Shan let out a laugh.

At this moment, in multiple directions in the distance, columns of black shadows appeared.

Corpse driver teams, coming back.

"Lihua!" Xiong Shan called his wife.

"Let me do it this time, Brother Runsheng."

Runsheng immediately moved out the small table. Li Zhuoyuan quickly finished arranging.

Xiong Shan watched the young man's actions seriously.

The previous "affectionate gaze, heartfelt emotion," had passed and was over. No one really took it seriously.

What truly maintained and ensured the cooperative relationship between the two sides was strength.

This time, Li Zhuoyuan directly lit the candles with industrial fire. One red and one white candle burned with a candle flame that flickered with black light and shadows.

Since he didn't believe that he only knew arrays and nothing else, he would just help him verify it a bit.

Xiong Shan nodded, licked his lips, and said, "A sense of upright purity."

The burned yellow paper began to be distributed, one piece each.

After several consecutive times, everyone was a little used to it.

Xiong Shan said, "Last night I just mixed into their teams at this time. The steps must follow their rhythm and not be chaotic.

Most importantly, don't look at the one in the middle."

"Um."

"Your height is not enough. You just need to hold one of their clothes and walk, and that will be fine."

"Thank you, you are really thoughtful."

Those teams gathered here from all directions. When they were not that close, there was no need to lower your head immediately. You could look a little.

Of course, the one in the middle whose feet didn't touch the ground was forever unclear.

When they came back, the number of people in each team obviously increased.

And it should be that they "picked up" people midway, or the number and location of the inns they patronized were different. Anyway, when they came back, the teams were not as compact as when they went out during the day. There were uneven distances between each team.

The first team, four people.

No wonder they came back so fast and were in the front. They just picked up one person.

It was a woman. Her eyes were closed, her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty and torn. This image was very similar to the fool he once encountered in Min An Town.

When this team approached, everyone lowered their heads. After it entered the water, everyone raised their heads again and looked towards the second team.

The second team had five people. One old man with white hair and a thin, sunken-eyed middle-aged man. They also had their eyes closed.

Li Zhuoyuan discovered a pattern. Among the people who were picked up, it seemed, they were all people who were originally going to die.

So, his experience last night was a special case?

Because he, the woman, and the seven Wang family people all belonged to external intruders?

It was also possible that the identity of the Wang family people would cause special sensitivity?

Two corpse driver teams had already walked into the lake and disappeared.

But when the third corpse driver team appeared in the distance and could be seen from afar, the situation suddenly became different.

The third team was four people.

Logically, if they picked up fewer people, they should be closer to the front. Was it because their route was the longest?

Li Zhuoyuan glanced at Xiong Shan next to him and found that the other side also had doubt in his eyes.

Xiong Shan was experienced, so it shouldn't be a route problem, but a real deviation.

When the third team got closer, Li Zhuoyuan discovered that the only person who had been picked up was a woman.

She wore a light blue silk dress, cloth slippers on her feet, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders, as if she had just been called out of bed.

Most importantly, she had a mole under her lip.

This woman was the one who received them in the antique market that day. She was the one who provided them with the initial information about the Niu Dao Jie family.

But she should be in the city now, so how did she get here?

This shouldn't be her actively coming over, because if she had actively come over, she wouldn't be dressed like this.

Li Zhuoyuan remembered what she once said, that her husband suddenly disappeared in the first month five years ago. Was it possible that her husband also disappeared in this way at first? Was she now just retracing her husband's old path?

So, did this third corpse driver team actually go into the city?

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng also looked at each other. They also recognized that woman.

When the third team passed here and began to circle, everyone lowered their heads.

The woman's body had a smell of incense that lingered for a long time after circling.

After this team entered the water, Li Zhuoyuan opened his mouth and said, "She is a Wang family person."

Xiong Shan heard this and frowned.

The fourth team came, and everyone raised their eyes to look.

Also four people, meaning they still only brought back one.

This was a pampered old lady, dressed in luxurious clothes, covered in jewelry and jade accessories.

Xiong Shan said, "This is the old lady of the Bu family. A grand birthday banquet just passed recently. I even went to share a drink."

The fifth team still had four people, and they brought back a young man, wearing a white vest, with very obvious concave marks on his arms, and even more developed muscles on his calves.

This point was very similar to the seven Wang family people they had seen before. Corpse drivers needed to practice holding the bamboo pole with their arms and also practice the leg method of kicking corpses. These two areas would have extremely obvious lines because they were deliberately exercised.

One person from the Wang family, one person from the Bu family, then it was not unexpected. This young man had obvious characteristics of a corpse driver, so he must be named Xie?

So, did these three corpse driver teams actually go to the other three families of the Old Heaven Gate and bring back one person each?

The sixth team was a bit far apart, currently only a distant black shadow could be seen.

Xiong Shan said, "Guess why the general wants to catch these people from the three families?"

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Revenge."

Besides revenge, there was no other reason. It couldn't be that they were bringing people to the bottom of the water to entertain them, could it?

Xiong Shan said, "I suddenly realized that I seem to have to seriously re-examine the internal contradictions of the Old Heaven Gate four families you mentioned. I suspect this is not revenge from the general."

Li Zhuoyuan said, "It's possible it's revenge from that Niu Dao Jie. He can already borrow the general's power."

Li Zhuoyuan paused for a moment and then added, "If that Niu Dao Jie is not solved, this general's seal will not be truly stable."

This time, it was just a little bit of guidance, but not too much force was used.

Xiong Shan nodded, "Yes."

The sixth team was approaching and could be seen.

This time there were no longer four people, but five, meaning they picked up two.

One on the left and one on the right, one tall and strong, one thin, all with their eyes closed.

Next to them, Xiong Shan's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Li Zhuoyuan specifically looked at him. It seemed Xiong Shan not only knew these two people, but was also very familiar with them.

If Xiong Shan could still endure, the woman was already shocked. She murmured, "Second brother, third brother!"

Second brother, third brother? Were these two people from Xiong Shan's team?

When this sixth team came over, Xiong Shan reminded with an extremely suppressed voice, "Lower your head."

This reminder was for the woman.

The woman lowered her head.

The sixth team walked into the lake and was submerged by the water surface.

The woman began to sob, reaching out to grab Xiong Shan's clothes.

It could be seen that the atmosphere of this team was still very good, and everyone had a high sense of mutual recognition.

Xiong Shan clenched his fists tightly. The scars on his face became convex again.

"How could it be like this, how could it be like this..."

Li Zhuoyuan asked, "What did you arrange for them to do?"

Xiong Shan gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Do you believe me when I say I only arranged for them to stare at the Yan family, Xie family, and Bu family?"

Li Zhuoyuan originally didn't quite believe it. Just like the woman, if they were just staring at those two families and then following them when those two families sent people, how could they inexplicably be pulled into this corpse driver team?

But soon, Li Zhuoyuan had to believe it.

Because he saw a more incredible scene. The seventh team came.

This team had eight people in total, which was considered large-scale tonight.

The one in the front, Li Zhuoyuan was very familiar with. It was the young Taoist he saw last night, also the twin son of that old couple.

But the one following behind him, carrying the bamboo pole, was actually Brother Hu.

Brother Hu's other side, as well as behind him, were his two thug brothers.

Didn't he arrange for these three people to pan for gold in the city? How did they appear here?

The next moment, Runsheng and Tan Wenbin also let out rapid breaths.

Because compared to Brother Hu and the three people being in the team, a more bizarre scene appeared.

Behind Brother Hu and the three people, two more people were following and carrying the pole, who were Yinmeng and Lin Shuyou respectively!

When they passed Mei Ling Town in the morning, Tan Wenbin still contacted them by phone and communicated with them. Everything was normal at that time.

Because the road ahead was still unclear, he didn't ask them to bring Brother Hu and the three people here.

But now, these five people had all appeared here.

Li Zhuoyuan said, "Lower your heads!"

The seventh team approached.

Runsheng and Tan Wenbin lowered their heads with difficulty, even though they were all clenching their fists tightly.

While Li Zhuoyuan lowered his head, he looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and began to find an angle.

According to the previous convention, this team would circle around the "Yin Yang Road inn" where he was located and then return to the bottom of the lake.

He needed to calculate their movement speed to avoid the person in the middle whose feet didn't touch the ground from being seen.

After Brother Hu's figure appeared in the bronze mirror, Li Zhuoyuan closed his eyes and counted in his heart.
