Chapter 158

Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

Since a part of the boy's memory was still covered, he had been unable to understand many things during the previous conversation because he lacked the necessary cognitive conditions.

But now, he felt like he understood some of it.

Not only did he feel like he understood, but he also discovered that he had a strange sense of familiarity with this process, especially with the way of narrating using a large number of euphemisms and allusions.

Li Zhuiyuan frowned slightly. He was very curious about what kind of life his 'future self' lived that he couldn't even speak clearly and had to beat around the bush.

"Little one, do you really understand?"

"Mhm."

"Tell me."

"You only cared about your own happiness, you walked the road to the end and left no road for those who came after."

"The words are rough, but the meaning is not."

"So, are my 'future' troubles your fault?"

"How can it be my fault? Look, I didn't even leave behind any descendants, so how could I have known that you, a little one, would get the same illness as me and walk the same road after I don't know how many years?"

"Indeed."

"How much of what I just demonstrated and displayed did you grasp?"

"I grasped the core. Even if the memories within this dream are blurry, I can still follow the feeling and deduce the techniques, formations, and Feng Shui."

"I have a feeling this isn't difficult. It seems like I often do this."

"Normal. After all, you even restored that guy's twelve law edicts."

"To tell you the truth, if we hadn't done this, and you and that descendant of the Yin family stood before him in the future, and you said you were surnamed Yin and the other was fake, I fear he might even slap the real descendant to death and recognize you as the real one."

"That absurd?"

"For people who have existed for a long time, bloodline and descendants originally have no meaning to them."

"Also."

"Let's begin."

"Alright."

During the previous teaching and demonstration, the figure had already set up the formation and adjusted the Feng Shui layout. Li Zhuiyuan now only needed to sit in and start to drive it himself.

The figure stood behind Li Zhuiyuan and placed his hand on the boy's head, saying in a deep voice:

"No matter if they are people, gods, or ghosts, they all have spiritual thoughts. The difference is that evil spirits are hated by heaven and earth, so their universal spiritual awareness is deficient and easier to manipulate, but you can't only manipulate them."

"Gods have ten thousand changes. Some are mountains and rivers that have become spirits, some are ghost kings who have entered the ranks, and some are shaped by incense and fire. But when they walk the world, they are all based on a spiritual body, so they can also be deceived and played with in the palm of your hand."

"To drive them, you must first dispel the illusion. After peeling off that layer of skin, you will discover that they are actually all like that."

Li Zhuiyuan felt a sense of agreement in his heart.

He had indeed come into contact with some gods.

The figure continued, "Ordinary people's spiritual thoughts are thin and therefore difficult to grasp, but you can lend them your spirit, help them store water first, and then guide the flow with your own will."

"Because our pathology is special, we are not subjected to the backlash of this method."

"But this method is still forbidden to be abused. It can easily lead to self-immolation and is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao."

"What do you mean by not abusing it?"

"Using it for the righteous path is not called abuse."

"Understood."

"Close your eyes and concentrate your spirit. I will first take you on a tour of the heavens."

Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes, and the figure behind him also closed his eyes.

The next moment, Li Zhuiyuan felt his spiritual will suddenly open up, like a person walking in the wilderness, experiencing the changes in the wind and clouds and the four seasons.

Subsequently, his line of sight became higher and higher, gradually leaving that person and coming to his above, starting to witness his walk and gaze at the spring, summer, autumn, and winter revolving around him from another angle.

This was the mood within the teaching.

Li Zhuiyuan understood that the reason this blurry figure dared to teach him this way was that the other party had undoubtedly already integrated the level of the technique.

The figure's actions were just constantly broadening his horizons based on this foundation.

In the boy's existing memory, Li Lan often took him to see a psychologist. Under many hypnoses, it led to him sometimes, when bored, reverse-hypnotizing the psychologist to make the doctor quiet down and pass the boring treatment time.

Hypnosis is one-on-one, first luring it out, and then borrowing its memory environment to guide it to achieve the desired purpose. Dream ghosts are also based on this principle.

The figure was teaching himself by constructing a new environment and directly replacing it.

Li Zhuiyuan finally understood what the figure's previous sentence about "not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao" meant.

The boy still "didn't know" what evil spirits specifically referred to, but he felt that even evil spirits would find it very difficult to recognize this "extremely evil" technique.

The tour of the heavens ended.

Li Zhuiyuan slowly opened his eyes. He suddenly felt that although the things he saw with his line of sight had not changed, they had a new feeling.

The figure opened his mouth and said, "Little one, how do you feel?"

Li Zhuiyuan said, "You were actually hiding something just now."

The figure grabbed the boy's head, shook it back and forth and left and right, and scolded angrily:

"Smelly brat, if you weren't suffering from the same illness as me, I really couldn't teach you this secret method. Teaching you would only harm you, just like the guy who taught you this."

"So, I have a master?"

"That's probably not your master, it's your enemy."

"Then why didn't he kill me?"

"He wanted you to live a life worse than death."

"He's still quite good then."

"That's because he didn't expect it. He might have just felt that you were very similar to me, but he didn't think you could be so similar to me."

"In the end, he still taught me things. It should also be him who took your book and showed it to me."

"He should only have that one in his hand. As for the rest, I deliberately scattered them after writing them. He probably doesn't have that fortune."

"Fortune?"

"When I calculated your fate just now, I not only calculated that you are sailing in a boat, but I also calculated that you have a deep fortune."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Of course. However, if it weren't for your continuous fortune, I would really suspect that you are practicing some evil method and specially plundering people's fortune, that's too low-level."

"Is it too much for me?"

"So much that you couldn't accumulate it so thickly even if you were busy accumulating virtue and doing good deeds from the moment you were in your mother's womb."

"Ancestors accumulate virtue."

"The nature is different. I instead suspect that someone is actively changing your life."

"Fortune is a good thing, right?"

"Nonsense."

"Who would be willing to give it to me?"

"You have to ask yourself. You're good at acting and deceiving people. Can you guarantee that you won't coax people into being happy and willing to give you anything?"

"Deceiving people doesn't seem too good."

"Indeed, but at least they should be sincere towards you."

"I really want to dispel the brain fog and see who it is."

"Wait until this matter is over, you have plenty of time. Let's proceed to the next step."

"Open the formation, lead the Feng Shui!"

"Open!"

Li Zhuiyuan began to activate the formation and at the same time mobilize the Feng Shui pattern.

The figure had already done the most difficult part of preparing the side dishes. What he needed to do now was just stir-fry them in the pot.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't know this thing, and he wouldn't know it in the future either.

Actually, he wouldn't.

He was skilled in formations, proficient in Feng Shui, and could also control Feng Shui with formations or lead formations with Feng Shui, but he couldn't merge formations and Feng Shui into one.

Because of "ignorance," he still didn't know how much advantage he was getting at this time.

To a certain extent, it could be said that with the figure's hand-in-hand teaching, he upgraded the core of his "way of formations," "way of Feng Shui," and "way of techniques" to a new level.

The formation opened, the twelve Earthly Branches operated, and each branch had an image. At first glance, they were the twelve zodiac animals, but they gave birth to many profound meanings within.

Li Zhuiyuan felt a sense of "as expected" in his heart.

It was as if he had already experienced this scene.

Or perhaps he knew early on that the figure originally had similar habits and styles, like entering the method with beast shapes.

This might also be because it didn't like to communicate with people, at least not at first, and had become accustomed to it early on, gradually forming a fixed style.

The formation pattern operated. The Zi Rat opened the formation, the Chou Ox listed the laws, and the Yin Tiger appeared in front. Under the successive alternation of the three sides, the next moment, a group of black fog appeared in front of Li Zhuiyuan.

The figure opened his mouth and said, "How much do you know about the Great Emperor of Fengdu?"

Li Zhuiyuan said, "According to the book, he should be called Yin Changsheng."

"Then you just do according to what you understand from the book. Do you need me to teach you how to blaspheme this Great Emperor and provoke his anger?"

"No need, I can do it."

"Remember, there is only one opportunity. Since you have decided to become enemies by touching his anger, then there is no need to hold back, use every means possible."

"Using him as a knife, he will be very angry."

"Using him as a knife is still not sharp enough, the Great Emperor will only be more angry."

"Understood. One more thing, what does the little ghost you mentioned look like?"

The figure reached out and a painting fell down, depicting the image of the dream ghost: head lowered holding a lamp, a body in damp white clothes.

"A little ghost can't create such a large formation. There are still people behind it helping it. Those people should be the real objects you want to deal with."

"I know."

"Then what are you still waiting for, go to the dream next door."

Li Zhuiyuan opened his mouth and said, "You said that the person from the Yin family in the dream next door should also be on my side."

"That's right."

"I have to go and greet him first."

"Then do you still need to seek his consent?"

"Just go and greet him. If he is my person, then he will definitely agree."

"So, are you considering his feelings?"

When Li Zhuiyuan heard these words, a pained expression appeared on his face.

The figure lowered his head and carefully observed the boy's expression. He laughed and said:

"Ha ha ha ha ha, you kid are stronger than me. At your age, I hadn't yet fallen ill to the marrow, but you have already started to cure your illness."

"Maybe because I have a good mother."

"That's indeed possible, early diagnosis and early treatment."

"Is your illness cured?"

"I am missing this part of my memory."

"I don't really believe it."

"Sometimes, knowing the answer too early will prevent you from getting through. I can only tell you that you are much better than me. At that time, I fundamentally didn't care about the so-called... partners."

"Unfortunately, you can't bring out the memory here. Otherwise, I really want to entrust you to help me say sorry to the guy who passed on the method to you."

"It doesn't matter. You said that both you and I are good at acting. I think I should go and deceive him."

"Also, that kid is silly. I was just teasing him before. He's so stupid, it's not strange if he's deceived by others and goes to guard the door one day."

"I'm going."

"Go ahead, I can't leave this dream. I'm waiting for your performance. I want to see... the Great Emperor angry!"

"Yin Tiger return to position, Mao Rabbit lead the way!"

...

On the bridge, the figure of the dream ghost reappeared after disappearing for a period of time.

It had just gone out again, and that group of people urged it again. It dealt with it again.

"Urge what? Urge what? There are three Venerables here, which one do I dare to urge? I really stand here and don't speak... Huh?"

The dream ghost was scolding when it suddenly discovered that the dream it controlled had undergone a new change. Two independent dreams were somehow connected at this moment.

This made it feel very puzzled, but soon, the woman's original dream actually began to reverse.

The dream ghost immediately turned its head to look at both sides of the bridge. The snapping turtle on one side of the lake was still tumbling on the surface, while the fierce ghost on the other side had actually begun to retreat.

Although it had already made preparations for a near-death disaster to be resolved without harm, it would be truly wonderful if the situation could be restored to a better state.

The dream ghost immediately shook its body. This was a great joy of seeing hope after despair.

It had a guess in its heart, that is, these three terrifying existences were probably unwilling to crush it to death with their hands. Wasn't that just treating itself like a fart and letting it go?

...

Yin Meng stood expressionlessly at the entrance of the coffin shop.

She saw a pair of mother and child walking over from the street in front with an umbrella. The little girl was just about to reach out and point at herself, but she was covered by another black rain umbrella. Under the rain umbrella stood a boy.

The boy looked around the surrounding environment as he walked towards the coffin shop.

Yin Meng didn't recognize him, but when he approached her, a strange feeling of dependence inexplicably arose in her heart.

As if as long as he was here, everything about herself would have something to rely on and no longer be confused.

She didn't even bother to think about who this person in front of her was and why he could make her feel this way, because after seeing him, she didn't want to use her brain anymore.

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the coffin shop, closed his umbrella, and shook it.

"What's your name?"

"Yin Meng."

"You're on my side."

"Oh."

"Do you want to listen to me?"

"Yes."

"Then I want to do some things."

"Okay."

"These things will make you very embarrassed."

"It doesn't matter."

"Do you agree?"

"I agree."

Li Zhuiyuan was a little surprised because everything was too smooth.

His first reaction was, are my future partners all so obedient?

But soon, he deciphered the root cause from the numbness and tiredness in the depths of the girl's pupils.

She had been tormented to the point of almost withering. At this time, she was the most helpless.

If he had a relationship with her in the future and was on the same side, then this vague and familiar feeling would make her instinctively regard him as a life-saving straw.

Just after putting away the umbrella, it was opened again.

"Then I'll go to work."

"Okay."

The boy held up the umbrella again and walked into the rain.

Yin Meng mustered her courage and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Then what do I need to do?"

"Just listen to me."

"Okay, I will listen carefully." After a pause, the girl shouted again, "Don't abandon me."

When Li Zhuiyuan heard this, he stopped and turned to look at her again.

He still didn't know what would happen to him in the future, but the girl's tone made him somewhat doubtful.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't know what his status would be in the team later, nor did he know that Yin Meng had also once worried about her role and position in the team like Zhuangzhuang.

Under the premise of "blind men touching an elephant," it's always easy to produce some misunderstandings.

However, Li Zhuiyuan remembered that the figure said he wasn't seventy or eighty years old, his age was still very young, just a little older than now.

So, he was still a child now. Since he was a child, he definitely had nothing to do with the so-called "love and affection."

Moreover, it was impossible for everyone in his team to be children, so the real age of the girl in front of him should be at least an adult, which meant a significant age difference.

Li Zhuiyuan tried to reach out and point to the next place.

The sign of the coffin shop fell down accordingly, and Yin Meng was standing right below it.

Yin Meng heard the sound and looked up. The sign was suspended above her head.

Li Zhuiyuan lifted his hand upwards, and the sign returned to its original position.

A smile appeared on Yin Meng's face: "You are amazing!"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

When she was almost smashed just now, his heart did ripple a little, but not much.

It wasn't like when he was riding bumper cars with Li Lan, and the girl in the red Hanfu was about to be hit, and he almost lost control and went berserk.

Although both were girls of the same age, she and that girl couldn't compare in his heart.

Then, how did he meet that girl in the Hanfu?

He was really curious.

It couldn't be just because she was good-looking, could it?

...

"Heh, heh heh ha ha ha!"

In the amusement park, although he couldn't leave this dream, the figure with his hand on the boy's head could still see the scene in the opposite dream.

It was hard for ordinary people to understand why, at this time, this smelly brat still had the leisure to specifically distinguish which girl held more weight in his heart.

But he could understand.

Because he and this boy were the same kind of people.

And this kind of people, for any special emotions that appeared in their hearts, would feel incomparably surprised, followed by huge curiosity.

However, there was one point that the figure couldn't understand:

"Will ruthless people like us also like people?"

The concept of sympathy for fellow sufferers was most clearly explained at this moment.

Because this figure, at such a crucial and important moment, actually moved the hand that was always on the boy's head and turned to the outside of the bumper car arena,

He wanted to take a look.

After all, no matter how serious the matter was, it wasn't as important as the fun in their hearts.

In the amusement park, the girl in the red clothes sat on a bench, motionless.

After the protagonist of the dream left, this place naturally also fell into stagnation.

Of course, even if the protagonist hadn't left, there weren't many living people in this amusement park.

The figure rested his hands on the railing outside the bumper car arena and carefully observed and sized up the girl.

"Don't say, she is indeed good-looking. Smelly brat, you know how to prepare good ingredients for yourself at a young age."

But being good-looking was definitely not the primary factor.

The figure knew too well what he and that boy were like.

He looked at the girl's face and started calculating.

"Come, let's first look at your face and fate."

After calculating for a while, the figure stopped and said in surprise:

"Eh, so good, so fierce?"

This girl's fate was unspeakably noble, and at the same time, it was extremely bumpy.

The figure had experienced the turbulent and fragmented era, and he had only seen such a fate on the body of a princess of a perished country.

"Alas."

The figure walked back to his original position, once again came in front of the boy, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, and the formation pattern around him was half-hidden, half-visible.

"It's a pity I'm already dead, otherwise I could really help you."

"Tsk,"

"Calculating it is meaningless. If I weren't dead, you would probably be the first one to want to kill me."

"You don't like me interfering in unnecessary matters more, do you?"

"I said before that because I came, your future path will have many more troubles, but in fact, you don't blame me either."

"Even if you don't have complete memories, in the depths of your character, you shouldn't want to walk the road I originally walked."

"If there aren't some changes, you will feel very bored."

The figure once again lifted his hand and placed it on the boy's head.

"Hey, smelly brat, you're quite playful."

...

Li Zhuiyuan, holding a rain umbrella and walking on the street, made a hand seal with his left hand, echoing the formation:

"Mao Rabbit return to position, Chen Dragon stand present!"

The boy disappeared from his original spot.

The dream ghost appeared on Ghost Street.

Behind him was a group of blurry virtual shadows, seemingly wearing long robes, not revealing their true appearance.

These were the images that Li Zhuiyuan had constructed himself.

He had just seen the dream ghost from the painting. The people behind it were expressed by Li Zhuiyuan in a blurry way.

What a coincidence was that these images actually did resemble the people in reality.

This wasn't purely based on luck, but the boy simply felt that this kind of sneaky person should be presented in this way.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but sigh: Look, he will have a lot of contact with that group of shady characters in the future.

Every step the dream ghost took, the passers-by and shop owners along the way all came out.

They first destroyed all things related to Fengdu culture, and then pushed out all kinds of faith altars.

Influenced by Li Lan's work nature, Li Zhuiyuan knew a lot about ancient culture, not really interested, purely being bored to death and just conveniently remembering a few things after looking at them.

Although in contemporary times, there are only a few major religions that are familiar to the ear, in the folk, there are countless "licentious temples," even more than one in every village. If you look at them throughout ancient and modern times, they are truly diverse and like fish crossing the river.

Among them, the vast majority have been buried in the sea of history.

Some simply didn't have enough influence and didn't get official certification in ancient times. Some were truly "licentious temples," and if they were to appear now, they would be truly contrary to public order and good morals, simply unbearable to see.

The boy specifically replicated these.

Fengdu is the dojo of your Great Emperor of Fengdu, it is the place where you, Yin Changsheng, "became immortal." Everything here is closely related to you, and the people here have been singing your story for generations.

Then I will just perform a great act of disrespect to you in this dream.

Lead these "unlucky dregs," a vast number of them, to jump in front of you.

If it were purely virtual, it wouldn't really matter, but every single one of them here is "real."

Soon, the team grew larger and larger, and the images of "licentious temples" became more and more numerous.

The dream ghost led the team to the entrance of the coffin shop.

It raised its hand, and the tide of people behind it stopped.

Yin Meng stood at the entrance, looking at this incredible scene, blinking non-stop.

As a person from Fengdu, the scene before her made her feel a sense of discord from the bottom of her heart.

But she knew that all of this was what the boy was doing, and she wouldn't stop him.

The dream ghost pointed a finger towards the inside of the coffin shop, and the closest batch of gray-robed people behind it entered the coffin shop, and then the coffin containing Yin Meng's grandfather was carried out.

Only then did Yin Meng realize: Oh, my grandpa is dead.

But the scene was really too bizarre, seriously destroying the immersive feeling of the dream, making it difficult for Yin Meng to squeeze out much sadness even with hard work.

The dream ghost placed the lamp in its hand on Yin Meng's head.

Then it signaled Yin Meng to come over.

Yin Meng was very obedient. She just walked in front of the dream ghost with the lamp on her head, becoming the first in the entire tide of people.

The dream ghost took out a leather whip from its body. It swung the whip, and the front end wound around Yin Meng's neck, making her like a prisoner being pulled, leading the way in front.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't feel that what he was doing was wrong, because what he wanted to do was thoroughly anger that Great Emperor, and it was impossible to speak softly, whisper gently, or even care about face.

Yin Meng herself didn't feel that what she was doing was wrong. In her opinion, all of this was acting that had been agreed upon beforehand. Her attention was instead on the leather whip around her neck.

She felt a sense of familiarity and closeness.

The dream ghost was controlled by Li Zhuiyuan, so this leather whip would also vaguely be influenced by the two people's "future" memories.

To be clear, everything in the dream came from the projection of reality.

The huge team started to advance again.

If the real dream ghost could not control this dream now and was isolated, if its real body were here and saw its image making this move, pulling out such a large formation on the land of Fengdu, and treating the descendant of the Yin family like this, it would probably be scared to death on the spot.

Walking and walking, the tide of people came to the edge of that shallow beach.

Yin Meng continued to top the lamp on her head while gently stroking the leather whip around her neck. She liked it very much and wanted to have one herself in the future.

The coffin was put down and pushed into the water, where it began to float.

Here, Li Zhuiyuan did not make any changes, so the plot that was already in the original dream would continue to develop.

The coffin gradually drifted towards the center of the river. When it reached the deepest place, four ghostly shadows suddenly appeared, lifted the coffin, and then, very quickly, the coffin disappeared.

The entire field was silent.

The dream ghost walked to Yin Meng's side, reached out, and placed its hand on Yin Meng's shoulder.

The boy's voice also appeared in Yin Meng's ear:

"Next, is the real great disrespect."

"Mhm."

Yin Meng responded softly and didn't react further. She was very calm about this.

The figure had said that the Great Emperor didn't care about his bloodline, had no joy, no love, and no hate, just complete... indifference.

When you can exist for a very long time, the meaning of descendants to you is indeed very difficult to find. You watch them multiply generation after generation, just like watching your pet cat constantly have kittens generation after generation, and along the way, they are constantly mixed with blood and become mixed breeds... after many generations, even the mixed breeds look inexplicable to you.

The Great Emperor's feeling towards his descendants was not even as good as his feeling towards cats.

Because the Great Emperor had already come, or rather, a wisp of his gaze had actually already fallen here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have formed a confrontation with the other two families before, letting this dream leave the dream ghost's grasp.

But he had already set up the formation, including treating Yin Meng like this... and the Great Emperor still had no reaction.

He was not only not angry, but also too lazy to even lift his eyes and look at it more. In his opinion, this was still not enough to support him lightly waving his hand and crashing this place.

Even if his future descendant was "insulted," he still felt that touching this dream ghost would lose his face and make his hands dirty with river water.

He might even be dissatisfied that his future descendant was still not dead, making him inexplicably involved in this kind of thing.

Yin Meng admitted that she was a descendant of Yin Changsheng, but her feelings towards Yin Changsheng were extremely complex, because here, it was originally impossible to delve deeply.

Ordinary people who suffer disasters and difficulties, no matter what, will not blame their ancestors, but Yin Meng is a bit special here, because this ancestor of hers is still not dead.

When her father was killed and his body was sunk by her mother and her adulterer, when her grandfather was seriously ill and lay in a coffin for so many years, when she suffered all the cold eyes alone without relying on anyone... this ancestor of hers was actually just watching from the side.

She didn't live in the corner of the world, she just lived in Fengdu, lived on Ghost Street. This is the place that claims to be closest to the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

What could truly make the Great Emperor worth looking up at was actually just one place. Here, this was also the reason why the Great Emperor was truly drawn over.

That is, Yin Meng had once witnessed the scene where Li Zhuiyuan used the secret technique of the Yin family to open the road to the Underworld and send her grandfather's corpse in.

This segment of memory always remained in Yin Meng's brain, and in the dream, it could be triggered and appear when pushed by the river water.

And this was the Great Emperor's inverse scale.

He completely didn't care whether his future descendants died out, as long as they didn't bother him in front of him.

But coincidentally, after seeing the environment here, Li Zhuiyuan's heart... thought of some things.

He was originally the person who opened the door here, and now, he had come again.

The dream ghost's hands began to dance, and wisps of black gas wound around its fingertips.

Immediately after, the river surface in front began to expand, and dislocations appeared.

The "road" that had previously sent that coffin in was opened again.

The dream ghost lifted its arm, and the next moment, firecrackers from two feet fired in unison, the crowd cheered and rejoiced, all the way with cow-headed and snake-bodied demons, all kinds of indecent temple images...

Forming a neat team, they set off on the road!

Go, go, go to the front of the Great Emperor and jump in his face!

The figure, as both the "chief culprit" and the "behind-the-scenes mastermind behind the behind-the-scenes mastermind," deeply understood what the "figure" meant at this moment: After this matter, a great enmity will be forged.

Putting himself in the Great Emperor's position, he would probably also want to pinch himself to death immediately.

Fortunately, the figure said that the Great Emperor couldn't leave here.

As for the Great Emperor's descendant, the "dream ghost" turned to look at Yin Meng standing beside her, and took down the lamp on her head and the leather whip around her neck.

Yin Meng reached out and grabbed the leather whip, and the "dream ghost" let go.

Yin Meng played with the leather whip as if holding a precious gift.

"Did we succeed?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "There is no reaction yet, so we should have succeeded."

Yin Meng asked, "Why did we do this?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't know, but we should have a reason for doing this. Perhaps, if we don't do this, we will die, or even if we don't die, we will have endless troubles."

Yin Meng: "Then what about now?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Our troubles should be big troubles."

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

The river surface gradually boiled.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the center of the river surface, on the river beach, and on the hillsides of the trees further away, appeared one by one black figures wearing solemn masks.

They appeared silently, but when you noticed them, a terrible oppressive feeling immediately swept out.

The dark clouds above began to fall, and the river surface below began to collapse.

This was the literal meaning of... the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.

A huge black gold coffin slowly floated up, bringing with it a terrible ancient and dignified aura.

Around them, the masked ghostly shadows all over the mountains and plains all knelt down on one knee and began to chant.

This dream, at this moment, had already left Li Zhuiyuan's control, but he could still hear the voices of some of the ghostly shadows.

They were not singing praises, this voice... was cursing.

The Great Emperor was truly angry.

When the ghost gate opens, all those who blaspheme the Great Emperor, no matter where you hide, will face the claim of life by fierce ghosts!

...

In a small shop in a small town, an old man was calculating accounts with an abacus, but as he calculated, the abacus suddenly cracked, and the beads scattered on the ground.

In a secret room, a god woman was inviting ancestors to possess a person. The expected guest was sitting in front, but the god woman suddenly had a cramp, immediately spitting white foam, shouting in her mouth: "You should die, you should die, you should die!"

A team of people was walking in a malaria-infested mountain forest, looking for an ancient tomb. The compass in the hand of the leader was spinning wildly at this moment.

At the entrance of an old house, an old lady was making shoe soles. The needle pierced her finger, and fresh blood flowed out, staining the clean white shoe sole red.

By the pond, an old man was sunbathing and fishing with a straight hook, but as he fished, the koi in the pond all floated to the surface and flipped belly up.

There is a family skilled in deduction and divination, who have spread out and lived in various places under different surnames for the family to continue. Only when the main family opens the seal and sends a letter are they summoned, and each small family sends people to handle affairs for the "family."

For many generations, they have used this method to profit for the main family time and time again, and then the main family would replenish each small family. They have also avoided disaster after disaster because of this, and have been constantly accumulating strength in the dark.

They thought that the era belonging to their family was about to arrive.

But today, at this moment, all the small families, these people skilled in divination, didn't even need magic tools, they could just see with the naked eye - a great disaster had descended!

Because,

The Underworld, nobody knows where, but again, it's everywhere.

...

By the pond where the dream ghost's body was floating, the group of gray-robed people who were helping it calculate all let out exclamations at this moment.

Originally, all their calculations were running smoothly, but suddenly, a terrible warning rose from the bottom of their hearts, and the direction of their operations all turned towards themselves.

They quickly stopped their actions, but their bodies staggered one by one, suffering a certain degree of self-calculation backlash.

It was a pity that they all covered their true appearance one by one. If they could be honest with each other, they would probably all be able to see "darkness on their foreheads" on the other party's face, because this was already obvious to the point where even people with only the most basic foundation in face reading could clearly see it.

"What exactly happened?"

"What changes have appeared in the dream?"

"How have all the causes and effects been calculated to our bodies?"

In the house adjacent to the pond where the god of the Boqi was sealed, the chained and trapped Boqi, when it turned into a person, let out a ferocious laugh, and when it turned into a bird, it cried out.

What didn't change was the profound delight that always flowed from its eyes.

...

On the bridge.

The dream ghost opened its eyes wide in fear. The dream where that woman was located, although it had left its control, at least still looked like a dream.

But now, this dream had actually turned into a huge and terrifying black mass.

Even it, the dream maker, dared not imagine what a terrible tsunami would be triggered if this dream broke open, and how many people would be implicated!

At the same time, on the lake surface on the other side of the bridge, the originally dense snapping turtles began to gradually retreat.

Their "three families" originally disdained to act, but since one could not help but act, that was better.

However, even in the eyes of that lone black turtle, acting was just acting. Making such a formation... wasn't that a bit much?

...

At this time, the figure, who was the behind-the-scenes mastermind behind all of this, was happily clapping his hands.

Li Zhuiyuan, who was originally sitting cross-legged in front of him with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes at this moment.

The boy opened his mouth and said, "Although I don't know what the original me was thinking, I feel that this has already surpassed the effect of my original plan."

Figure: "No need to feel, it's necessarily like this, because your original plan may not have included my existence."

"Your plan was the same before I came, and your plan is still the same after I came, so didn't I come for nothing?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Can you tell me the difference? I'm a little impatient to know."

Figure: "The difference is that you originally only wanted to chop off one hand, but now, you truly have the opportunity to thoroughly chop that entire person to death."

"This even surpasses my expectations for human pigs, because I didn't expect that you could find a way to make that person so angry. Promise me, don't approach the land of Fengdu in the future."

"But I won't remember these things, I will forget them after I wake up from the dream."

"This is indeed a problem."

After a short silence, both of them smiled again.

Future matters should be left to the future to worry about. What's important is to enjoy the happy mood at this moment.

Figure: "You are really very similar to me. We not only have the same illness, but also similar styles of acting."

"I believe that when you read the book I left behind, you will search all over history books and various records, and there will be no trace of me."

"Why?"

"This is also where the Heavenly Dao hates me the most, because those guys who have enmity with me are all destroyed by the righteous path."

Saying that, the figure reached out and lightly patted the teenager's shoulder:

"Okay, the Great Emperor's anger has accumulated almost enough. Hurry up and manipulate the formation to let him release that sky-high anger."

"Mhm."

Li Zhuiyuan made a hand seal with both hands and urged the surrounding formation:

"Chen Dragon return to position, Si Snake open auspicious!"

The black dream was opened, and endless ghost energy and resentment poured out.

The dream ghost let out an exclamation, its body in the middle of the pond immediately opened its eyes, and it forcefully pulled all the surrounding gray-robed people into its dream.

"This matter was done by all of you, we're going down to the Underworld together!"

Fengdu, which was originally clear sky, suddenly became extremely gloomy.

A voice that ordinary people couldn't hear rang out from the depths of Fengdu, and then rippled across the sky.

"All ghosts listen to the decree, lead the law edict."

Little Dragon pays New Year greetings to everyone here, wishing everyone a healthy body and no illness or worries in the new year!
