Chapter 182

Chapter 177

The tea party ended, and we walked out of the hotel.

Xue Liangliang sat down on the edge of a flower bed, took out a cigarette box, and offered one to Tan Wenbin.

After receiving the cigarette, Tan Wenbin took out a lighter and first lit Xue Liangliang's, while smiling and saying:

"Congratulations, Liang brother."

Xue Liangliang sighed, exhaling a smoke ring.

From the announcement of a large project to its formal commencement, there is often a considerable interval.

Once a closed project with issues is restarted, it will be more time-consuming and arduous compared to starting from scratch. Moreover, the 572 project in history has been closed twice, and each time relatively serious strange accidents occurred.

Therefore, the preparation time needed for it to restart will only be longer.

And the part Luo worker is responsible for, just like during the Gaoyou Lake dragon sucking water event, is to lead a team and provide their professional technical support.

The teams responsible for other parts also need to prepare and organize.

According to Luo worker's estimate, this will take at least another year.

As one of the people responsible for a certain aspect of this project that was booked in advance, Luo worker has only received two pieces of news so far.

One is the notification to restart this project;

The second is to form the project team in advance.

Special projects have extremely high confidentiality requirements, but this confidentiality does not mean that all people participating in this project must be isolated from the world.

Naturally, those who can contact the core top responsible people have their corresponding special standards. However, the large number of personnel responsible for specific subdivided work below do not need to be that strict, and can even be relatively relaxed.

After all, as long as the task responsibilities are subdivided specifically enough, even if the frontline personnel participate in this project, they can only be like being in this mountain and not knowing the true face of Mount Lu.

The selection of personnel for the new project team is required to be found within universities.

First, gathering personnel who are already in their work positions for training and standby is neither realistic nor cost-effective, and the influence is uncontrollable.

Second, considering the cultivation of related talents, it is better to directly start building the talent echelon rather than re-summoning the old folks.

The reason Tan Wenbin congratulated Xue Liangliang is that Luo worker handed over the work of forming the new team to Xue Liangliang.

Just like young soldiers longing for war to establish merit.

Because of the special period, the promotion channels will become more spacious.

Xue Liangliang has always been enduring his qualifications for the past two years. Even if he endures this qualification very smoothly, he still has to go through this process.

Now, his process has been greatly shortened, giving him an opportunity for a leap forward.

Of course, the premise is that your ability is strong and can withstand the test, otherwise you will fall very miserably if your virtue does not match your position.

At this time, Xue Liangliang's heart did not feel the joy and excitement of getting such a precious opportunity, nor did he feel how uneasy and apprehensive.

He only knew that after being responsible for the new work, his frequency of 'going home' would have to be greatly reduced.

Previously, he ran everywhere, following one project after another, which seemed very tiring. However, the work was all staged, so there were many opportunities to return to Nantong.

And once the new work begins, from screening, assessment, training, internships, exercises, etc., all need him to be personally responsible.

If you don't have a sense of responsibility, you can be very leisurely. But if you have a sense of responsibility, it almost means nearly infinite work content in the short term.

Because your time no longer belongs only to yourself, and if you want to seize the opportunity to go back to Nantong, you have to bear inner moral guilt.

"Liang brother, this is a good thing. I believe sister-in-law will also support you."

Tan Wenbin patted Xue Liangliang's shoulder. He knew what he was saying was nonsense, but at this moment, he could only say some nonsense.

Xue Liangliang nodded: "I'm going to set off back to Jinling. The initial size of the team is set at thirty people. If it's only three people, it's just right."

The three people are exactly the three in front: Xiao Yuan, Binbin, and Lin Shuyou.

Xue Liangliang believed that the entire Haihe University had no students more professional than the three in front of him.

Li Zhuoyuan: "If you need any help, just say so."

Xue Liangliang smiled: "Of course, how can I be polite?"

After speaking, Xue Liangliang waved his hand, walked to the roadside, and sat in the taxi waiting for guests.

Li Zhuoyuan understood that Liangliang brother should be going to jump into the river one more time before leaving Nantong.

For a long time to come, Xue Liangliang will not come back here again.

Li Zhuoyuan: "Let's go back too."

Lin Shuyou hailed a new car by the roadside.

On the way back, Li Zhuoyuan again pondered the time in his heart, but this time he was not calculating the time to get home.

In the underground palace, Li Zhuoyuan once obtained a share of rotten bamboo slips from the masked man.

After technological restoration, he found the old professor from the Jingli family courtyard to help him decipher it, obtaining nine large coordinates.

These nine large coordinates are scattered in various places, respectively:

Bai Shan Hei Shui (White Mountains and Black Waters), Cai Yun Nan (Colorful Cloud South), Bei Jiang Cao Yuan (Northern Frontier Grassland), Cang Hai Sha Mo (Vast Sea Desert), Shi Wan Da Shan (100,000 Great Mountains), Qian Dao Hu (Thousand Island Lake), Tian Fu Pen Di (Tianfu Basin), Gao Yuan Bing Chuan (Plateau Glacier), and the last place is in the sea.

Among them, there are three places Li Zhuoyuan already has specific guesses about.

Tian Fu Pen Di, should refer to Feng Du Ghost City.

Bai Shan Hei Shui, should refer to the Gao Ju Li Tomb in Ji'an.

The coordinate in the sea should be the location of that large sea turtle.

When he first obtained these nine large coordinates, Li Zhuoyuan still felt that these were very far from him.

But when Luo worker announced in front of him that the 572 civil air defense project would restart, the teenager suddenly realized that it should come... it is finally coming.

He did not know whether he needed to visit all nine secret realms, but the three currently known all have a very direct connection with him.

So, from a very early beginning, the river water has already prepared the final big question for him. What is this called... Jiuzhou Joint Exam?

After arriving home, Li Zhuoyuan was not in a hurry to go back to Taiye's house first, but after greeting Binbin and Ayou, he walked towards the big beard's house alone.

On the dam at the big beard's house, Xiao Yingying was making paper figures.

Seeing the teenager come, Xiao Yingying first raised her head to look. Seeing that the teenager did not walk towards the dam, she lowered her head again and continued doing her work.

Li Zhuoyuan walked straight towards the peach forest.

Deep in the peach forest, a small fence was tied, and the fence was covered with peach blossoms. Clumsy lay inside playing by himself.

After seeing Li Zhuoyuan, Clumsy let out a "giggle giggle" laugh.

Li Zhuoyuan chose a peach tree next to him and sat down leaning against it.

Just like this, he sat until near dusk.

During this time, there were two special wind swirls in the peach forest. Li Zhuoyuan noticed them but did not step into the Yin.

Stretching, Li Zhuoyuan stood up, walked out of the peach forest, and went home.

A bigger wind blew up in the peach forest, bringing a "huhu" sound.

Xiao Yingying put down the paper figures, walked down the dam, entered the peach forest, and hugged Clumsy.

Clumsy stretched out his hand, trying to grab the big dancing peach blossoms in front. The child was not afraid, no matter what he encountered, he found it interesting.

Xiao Yingying then knew that one was very angry now.

She did not know why it was angry. Was it caused by chatting with that teenager?

What Xiao Yingying didn't know was that the reason for its anger was that the teenager simply regarded this place as a peach forest used to calm his heart.

......

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Little Black barked wildly at Runsheng.

Previously in the university, Little Black always slept in the same room as Runsheng, and was fed by Runsheng every day. The relationship between one person and one dog could be said to be quite good.

But since coming back from Guizhou this time, when Runsheng wanted to feed it again, every time he just approached, Little Black would immediately stand up and conduct extremely unfriendly driving away at Runsheng.

This was almost unimaginable in the past.

It not only meant the breakdown of the relationship between man and dog, but also that Little Black was always lazy. In Li Sanjiang's words, if you use this dog to guard the door, a thief could enter the house and empty the house, and it would only blame the thief for being too noisy and disturbing its sleep.

From a young age, Little Black barked very few times. At first, everyone thought it was a dumb dog that wouldn't bark.

"Okay, you let go, I'll feed it."

Yin Meng heard the noise and walked out, took the soup basin from Runsheng's hand, and delivered the medicinal porridge to Little Black.

Little Black no longer barked, lowered its head, and started eating the supplement.

But while eating, it still kept an eye on Runsheng from time to time, afraid that he would approach.

Yin Meng: "You ate that Gu child. Your body's aura is mixed. It's afraid of you."

Runsheng: "It's not afraid of me."

Yin Meng: "Then what?"

Runsheng: "It thinks I'm being occupied by another person."

"What's the difference?"

"There's a difference. It's thinking about me."

Runsheng walked closer again. Little Black no longer drank the supplement and barked wildly at Runsheng again.

This time, Runsheng did not retreat like he had in the past few days, but accelerated and came to Little Black.

"Woof!"

Little Black pounced on Runsheng, opening its mouth to bite.

Wu Hei Dog was originally a yang energy abundant beast. In addition, this dog at home had been fed with supplements since it was a child. Even if it was lazy every day, its ferocity was something no one could ignore.

Runsheng raised his hand to block in front. Little Black bit Runsheng's wrist and didn't let go after biting, even if its dog body was suspended in the air by Runsheng.

However, Runsheng not only didn't shake it off, but squatted down, ignoring the pain of being bitten by the dog, and put Little Black on his knee.

Little Black's throat was still emitting a low growl. Blood flowed out from the wound on the wrist, dyeing Little Black's white teeth red.

Runsheng raised his other hand and touched Little Black's head.

Yin Meng asked worriedly: "When can you thoroughly digest that thing?"

Runsheng shook his head: "If it's digested, wouldn't I have eaten it for nothing?"

Yin Meng pointed at Runsheng with her finger: "You're deliberately keeping it!"

Runsheng did not answer, which was considered a tacit agreement.

"Runsheng, do you know how dangerous it is to keep this kind of thing in your body?"

"I only know that I will also become more dangerous because of this."

"You guys, how come you're all lunatics one by one."

Yin Meng included Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou in this category.

Tan Wenbin is still gloomy to this day, yet he is still unwilling to let Xiao Yuan brother help him sort things out.

Lin Shuyou, on the other hand, spends the whole day thinking about how to overdraw and squeeze his body's potential to extend the time the White Crane Child descends.

Wave after wave passed, and everyone's body became less and less valued. They all felt that their lives were picked up anyway, and the more they picked up, the less they cherished them.

Runsheng looked at Yin Meng without speaking.

Actually, among all the people, the one who is most like a lunatic should be her.

Yin Meng squatted down beside him. The Gu insect crawled out of her palm, like a toy that came when called, and she played with it like a walnut.

"Do you think I should also give it a name?"

Runsheng: "No need to name it."

"Why?"

"If you don't name it, it won't hurt when it dies."

Yin Meng was startled for a moment, not only not angry, but deeply nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."

The Gu insect in her palm crawled faster for a while.

Time passed slowly.

Little Black bit for a long time, and Runsheng touched it for a long time.

Gradually, the anger in Little Black's eyes subsided. It slowly loosened its mouth, then stretched out its tongue and licked the wound on Runsheng's wrist that it had bitten.

It confirmed that the person in front of it was not possessed.

Runsheng picked up the half basin of supplement that had just been drunk and delivered it to Little Black. Little Black finished drinking the supplement and rarely licked the plate.

In the past, it would not have done this if it was provided with good food and drink every day.

Runsheng pointed his finger at the doghouse.

Little Black turned around, walked in, lay down, and started sleeping.

Barking so many times today and even biting someone, it was a rare and big consumption in its life. It had to rest well and replenish its energy.

Yin Meng: "I'll help you deal with the wound."

"No need, Little Black's body is clean. I'll just wash it with well water."

Runsheng walked to the edge of the well and washed the wound after drawing water.

After the bright red blood was washed clean, the blood groove bitten by the dog could be seen, with a burnt black color inside.

This was caused by the collision of the Five Black Dog's constitution and the aura in his body. In other words, the evil aura in his body is very heavy now.

Runsheng took out a symbol drawn by Xiao Yuan from his pocket and pasted it on the wound. The symbol paper did not turn completely black, but it turned gray.

Touching the wound with his fingertip, Runsheng sighed.

It seemed that he still had to trouble Xiao Yuan.

He didn't care whether he was some kind of monster. Anyway, when he was young, because of his habit of eating incense, he was used to being called "monster" by people of the same age in the village.

What he cared about was that if the aura on his body was too heavy, it would cause misunderstandings, thus affecting Xiao Yuan's next trip down the river.

At this time, Li Zhuoyuan came back from the big beard's house.

"Xiao Yuan."

"Runsheng brother?"

Runsheng raised the wrist that had been bitten. After Li Zhuoyuan glanced at it, he smiled slightly: "Runsheng brother, go to the workshop and wait for me."

"Okay."

Runsheng walked towards the back of the house.

Li Zhuoyuan then prepared to go upstairs and met Yin Meng on the way.

"Xiao Yuan brother, Runsheng he..."

"It's okay, I have a way."

Yin Meng nodded: "That's good, that's good, I was so worried."

"Right, where are Binbin and Ayou?"

"After they came back in the afternoon, they were called by Li Daye to collect tables and chairs."

Li Zhuoyuan suddenly felt that he should have taken them to the peach forest to sit together earlier, otherwise they wouldn't have been harnessed by his Taiye to pull the mill as soon as they got back home.

Actually, Li Zhuoyuan understood the intentions of his companions.

In the early days, their development path was all designed by himself.

But now, they have their own subjective initiative.

Although, sometimes, even Li Zhuoyuan felt that what they were doing was very dangerous, he had no way to open his mouth to stop them.

No one is willing to be a burden to the team. They all want to play a bigger role when going down the river.

Moreover, besides the team's interests, there are also their own development needs.

They are people, not tools in their own eyes. Sometimes what they think is best is not necessarily the most suitable for them.

Coming to the second floor and walking into his room, A Li was painting inside.

This painting had already completed Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng's parts and was now painting Tan Wenbin's part.

Li Zhuoyuan glanced at the half-block tablet left in the room. This amount was not enough.

A Li put down the paintbrush and prepared to go out. She knew the teenager's meaning.

The degree of tacit understanding between the two was already to the point where they didn't need to speak and only needed eyes. Well, A Li wouldn't speak either.

But even if A Li took the tablets as material, it was already something everyone was used to, but Li Zhuoyuan still felt bad letting A Li do it just by looking at her.

This time it was directly needed by himself. The reason should be stated, and he should speak.

People, ah, can pretend to understand and act confused, but cannot pretend to be deliberately confused.

He led A Li's hand, walked downstairs, and came to the east room.

Liu Yumei was in the room, holding a brush and doing clothing design. Beside her was one piece that was A Li's. What she had just painted in her hand was the teenager's male clothes.

Liu Yi had just brought a stack of tablets from the warehouse and was now replenishing the stock for the lack of goods ancestor.

At this moment, two young customers entered the shop.

Liu Yumei said somewhat unexpectedly: "This is?"

Li Zhuoyuan said to Liu Yumei: "Grandma Liu."

Immediately, the teenager's gaze looked at the tablets on the supply table.

Although this stock was a bit rushed, Liu Yumei was already used to it and just waved her hand, indicating self-service.

Li Zhuoyuan walked to the front of the supply table and bowed to the tablets on the supply table: "Junior servant Runsheng's body has some problems and needs to make wooden nails to suppress it. Please assist, seniors!"

When saying these words, Li Zhuoyuan's voice was very low.

When the teenager opened his mouth, Liu Yumei suddenly felt a warning sign in her heart, but immediately shielded her perception.

Liu Yi stood beside him, still thinking about appreciating the two children choosing. Who knew that after hearing this sentence, her throat immediately felt sweet.

This was the first time, cracking melon seeds produced blood!

Liu Yi's reaction made Li Zhuoyuan also feel doubtful.

Liu Yi hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

Seeing the teenager say good, A Li began to flip through the tablets for her ancestor.

She knew that Runsheng's body had sixteen Qi doors, so he needed sixteen large wooden nails.

However, tablets after all have a fixed shape, thick at the base and narrow at the top.

The previously used planing wood shavings were already considered maximizing the utilization efficiency.

But this time, one tablet can only make one large wooden nail, and the other parts are all waste materials. So this time, A Li selected sixteen tablets.

She couldn't carry them all by herself, so Li Zhuoyuan took some beside her.

From the time he accompanied the girl to eat together earlier, Li Zhuoyuan knew that the girl always had obsessive-compulsive disorder, so every time she selected tablets, she would pick the old ones first.

This also counted as treating everyone equally. No ancestor would be specially "abused", and no ancestor could get the girl's favor.

After the two carried the tablets out, Liu Yumei looked at the sparse tablets on the team and revealed a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Liu Yi took out a handkerchief and spit out the blood from her mouth. She said somewhat disbelievingly: "Main mother, why is it like this?"

Liu Yumei: "I don't know the reason either. The karmic taboo on this child's body suddenly became heavier, so heavy that even I feel apprehensive."

Liu Yi: "A Li wasn't like this before."

Outside, Qin Shu, who had just sent the paper figures back, was about to go to the east room to report according to his usual habit.

Just walking to the door, he heard this sentence, so he just planned to withdraw his steps and go to the field to see if there was any work he could do.

But here, he had no way to leave directly. Moving at the speed of an ordinary person's steps was definitely not faster than making no sound.

Liu Yumei: "A Li's journey down the river doesn't have any reference value."

Without the discomfort he had imagined, Qin Shu felt that he was used to it. He picked up the hoe.

Liu Yi: "That..."

Liu Yumei: "I have also seen successful journeys down the river, but they did not encounter situations like Xiao Yuan's so early in the process of going down the river.

Our Xiao Yuan is indeed too special, as if he has obtained more... of the river water..."

Liu Yumei wanted to say "care," but no matter what, she couldn't say the word.

Where is there any care in this?

But if she were to say something bad about the river water now, she would also feel it was inappropriate.

Liu Yumei looked at Liu Yi and asked: "Are you alright?"

"No harm."

"En." Liu Yumei's gaze fell on the ancestor tablets again, and she smiled, "Right, when making the tablets later, try to get more various rare materials."

"Main mother, what do you mean?"

Involving ancestor tablets, Liu Yi might not dare to play freely.

"What I mean is that within a set of tablets, there can be various different materials, not limited to only top-grade thunderwood."

"I know."

"In addition, in terms of style, you can also enrich it."

"Style?"

"Some are big, some are small, some are thick, some are thin. Tablets are not just one specification."

"Different specifications, put them in one set?"

"What's wrong with that? If the generation is high, make it bigger. If the generation is low, make it slender. Divide them into seniority and humility.

This is also convenient for our A Li to get materials."

"Understood."

Liu Yumei slapped her forehead and blamed herself: "Alas, why did I only think of this now?"

"What do you mean..."

"We enshrine the tablets, which is reasonable; A Li, as a member of the family, takes and uses the tablets, which is also reasonable; and the relationship between A Li and him is very special.

Heh, now it seems that these guys not having spirits is not entirely bad. At least here, it's equivalent to breaking the karma."

Liu Yi suddenly understood: "Main mother, I understand."

Xiao Yuan's journey down the river was sudden. So many good things in the ancestor's home were not matched with Xiao Yuan.

Now, the ancestor tablets... are equivalent to the only channel for the Qin Liu family to benefit Xiao Yuan.

Therefore, the main mother would let herself diversify the materials and specifications, so that she could broaden the range of benefits.

Liu Yumei: "Also, you can inlay... calculate, too much is as bad as not enough. You figure it out yourself. Tablets must eventually look like tablets. They can be luxurious, but not too absurd."

"Don't worry, I understand."

"Go prepare."

"Yes."

After Liu Yi went out, Liu Yumei sat back in her chair. She had originally wanted Liu Yi to try to inlay some things on the tablets.

For example, some beads, symbols, which ancestor in the family liked to use knives, swords, read books, look at paintings, all matched them.

But when she was about to voice this idea, the warning sign that had appeared earlier resurfaced.

You can appropriately exploit loopholes in the heavenly way, but you must not treat the heavenly way as a fool.

Once you go too far, it is no different from directly sending yourself to bear the karmic backlash.

Liu Yumei picked up the brush and continued to design clothes for the teenager.

She often regretted one thing, which was why she didn't give the teenager something earlier.

Previously, the children of the Qin Liu family all had some good things on them from a young age. The Dragon King's family had this foundation.

But Xiao Yuan didn't have it.

Her original intention was to take Xiao Yuan to the Qin Liu ancestor's home again after the entry ceremony ended. Anyway, as the only successor of the contemporary generation, as long as the kid liked something in the ancestor's home and could control it, he could pick it freely.

But it happened that the entry meant starting the journey down the river, and she didn't have this opportunity.

Clearly, he had the inheritance of the two families of Dragon King in his body, but when going down the river, he followed a Jianghu weed and directly created a poor road for a rich family.

However, she lowered her head and glanced at the jade ring on her finger.

When she first met him, she wanted to give him this as a meeting gift, but the child firmly refused to accept it.

Or perhaps, this is a heavenly will in fate. Before entering, even if she wanted to give it, this child would not want it.

Painting and painting, Liu Yumei turned her head and glanced at the supply table, saying mockingly:

"You didn't think of it either, did you? I, who have lived a lifetime of luxury, am arranged to raise a poor child in my old age."

......

Sixteen tablets were carried into the small workshop.

Runsheng had already been sitting inside waiting for a long time.

A Li, familiar with the door and the road, picked up an ink brush and outlined the tablets.

Then she took out the tools and started carving the material.

Li Zhuoyuan helped beside her.

Runsheng wanted to help, but this kind of fine work was not something he could do, so he could only help with the table surface and conveniently grind some tools.

Wooden nails were not difficult to make, and since there was no need for fine texture carving, it was not time-consuming.

High-end tablets, even if they were in their original state, could still have a suppressing effect.

"Puchi!" "Puchi!"

Li Zhuoyuan opened two bottles of Jianlibao, one for him and one for A Li, and they drank it.

"A Li, you go rest."

A Li nodded, her gaze falling on the can of Jianlibao in the boy's hand.

She wouldn't collect ordinary drink cans anymore, as her collection grade had gone up.

But she still wanted cans that had been opened and drunk together.

Li Zhuoyuan could only lift his head, finish the remaining drink in one gulp, and then hand the can to A Li.

A Li took the can, her eyes filled with satisfaction, and left the workshop.

"Runsheng brother, take off your clothes."

"Okay."

Runsheng took off his clothes.

Once, Qin Shu used sixteen coffin nails to forcefully open Runsheng's Qi doors, teaching him the body refining technique of "Qin Clan View Jiao Method" in the most mechanical way.

Now, the initial wounds have healed, and the originally similar cupping marks have also become very faint.

But today, Li Zhuoyuan was going to redrill the Qi doors.

Li Zhuoyuan picked up the wooden nail, then picked up the hammer, and started nailing at the Qi door position.

"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!"

Li Zhuoyuan's hands were sticky, all covered in Runsheng's blood.

Fortunately, the blood only spurted out during the nailing process. After the nails were driven in, Runsheng would shrink his muscles and stop the bleeding by himself.

Runsheng did not feel pain and didn't even wrinkle his brow. He just said somewhat apologetically: "Xiao Yuan, I won't eat things randomly next time."

"Actually, you eating that Gu child's corpse was just a catalyst. The 'Qin Clan View Jiao Method' is endless. Even if you are not fighting, it is always tempering your tendons, bones, skin, and flesh while you eat and sleep. When you forge to a certain degree, the things in your bones will inevitably be stimulated."

If Runsheng had always followed Shan Deye as an ordinary corpse salvager in this life, his innate characteristics would not have been stimulated. He could have lived a life that, although strange, could still pass steadily.

But it happened that Runsheng followed him down the river, fought one time after another, was seriously injured one time after another, and his Qi doors were fully opened one time after another, urging out his true form.

Runsheng's expression was slightly dark, and he lowered his gaze.

This was the first time Xiao Yuan had almost clearly told him that he was not human.

Although, this fact, he had known for a long time.

What normal person can't eat rice without eating incense? What normal person has an extremely strong appetite for that dirty meat?

Li Zhuoyuan continued to nail while saying:

"That's good. We two brothers are not human. We are all monsters wearing human skin."

Runsheng raised his head and looked at the teenager.

The teenager's face had a smile.

But in the smile, Runsheng saw the pain in the teenager's body when he said this sentence.

He knew that "monster wearing human skin" was the harshest word for the teenager, but the teenager, in order to comfort himself, took the initiative to say it and make fun of it.

"Xiao Yuan."

Just one call, no more words were said, nor did they need to be said.

The initial scene in the dream, neither of them remembers now.

In the dream, even though he was controlled and became a puppet by the dream ghost, Runsheng still did not obey the "master's" command and launched an attack on Xiao Yuan.

This thing, it's okay to forget it, because some things don't need to be remembered persistently anyway, they are all in the bottom of the heart.

"Okay, Runsheng brother, now you re-operate the 'Qin Clan View Jiao Method' according to my rhythm. I'll tell you to be fast, you be fast. I'll tell you to stop, you stop. I'll tell you to reverse... you reverse."

"Okay."

Although Li Zhuoyuan had not started practicing martial arts, his understanding of the "Qin Clan View Jiao Method" was something even Qin Shu couldn't compare with him.

Under his command, Runsheng began to re-operate the method.

"En... En... En..."

Runsheng let out a painful low growl.

"Pause."

Li Zhuoyuan raised his hand to indicate, then arranged a simple sound insulation array for this small workshop.

"Okay, you can't hear it outside now. Continue."

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!"

Runsheng started to roar in pain.

This was like an animal needing to grind its teeth. Li Zhuoyuan was doing this for Runsheng.

He was forcibly grinding and smashing the constantly growing evil aura in his body.

In reality, this was equivalent to Runsheng grinding his own skin, flesh, and bones alive.

The pain involved far exceeded scraping bone to cure poison.

However, Runsheng endured it all.

"Okay, that's enough."

"Hu... Hu..."

Runsheng gasped for air and raised his head. The luster in his pupils became more profound.

The originally bulky muscles also shrank and became sturdy at this time. Although the height of the whole person was still very tall, compared to before, he had become a bit leaner.

From a temperament perspective, he already had some of Qin Shu's shadow.

The transformation from "animal nature" to "human nature" will not only not become weak, but will become more powerful, because only humans can use power rationally in a sober state.

The change in temperament also means that Runsheng's body refining technique has truly entered the realm.

Although, he walked the path of hitting the door with brute force.

But he truly broke through the gap with sheer force.

The most important thing is that the evil aura on his body has been suppressed. If Little Black bites him again, that kind of evil-breaking wound will not appear.

Li Zhuoyuan took out the symbol paper he had drawn and pasted it on Runsheng's wrist wound. The symbol paper did not change.

"Runsheng brother, it was hard."

Runsheng shook his head, then looked at Li Zhuoyuan and said:

"Xiao Yuan."

"En?"

"Let's be human together, okay?"

......

When Li Sanjiang returned with a cigarette in his mouth, Runsheng was just washing at the well on the dam, preparing to clean up the bloodstains that had washed off his body.

"What happened? So much blood on the ground. Did you kill a pig at home?"

Runsheng scratched his head and said: "Li Daye, I did it."

"You did it? You had a massive hemorrhage?"

Li Zhuoyuan had just removed the array in the small workshop and was about to go out to wash his hands. Hearing the dialogue outside, the teenager said directly:

"Taiye, originally Liu Yi was going to make blood pudding, but I accidentally knocked it over. Runsheng brother is helping me clean up."

Li Sanjiang: "Just knocked it over, what's the big deal? I just don't like to eat blood pudding, it's easy to get inflamed."

Li Zhuoyuan squatted by the well and washed his hands.

There was a manual pump installed on the wellhead. There was no need to tie a rope to the water bucket to draw water. Just press a few times. There would always be a cup of water prepared beside it. When the wellhead was dry during the day and no water came out, just pour a cup into it.

Li Sanjiang looked at Runsheng somewhat strangely and said doubtfully: "Why do I feel Runsheng is a little thinner?"

"No way?"

"No, he's indeed a little thinner." Li Sanjiang walked closer and kicked Runsheng, who was squatting on the ground wiping the ground, with his leg. "Let Shan Pao come over and see, he'll think I didn't give you rice to eat. Remember to eat more rice and put the meat back on."

"Okay, Li Daye." Runsheng smiled and responded. Eating rice was his strength.

Li Sanjiang looked at Li Zhuoyuan: "That, Xiao Yuan, you come with me."

"Okay, Taiye."

Runsheng handed him a handkerchief. After Li Zhuoyuan wiped his hands, he followed Li Sanjiang into the house.

Thinking that entering the house was not enough, Li Sanjiang indicated that Li Zhuoyuan should follow him upstairs.

After entering the room, Taiye took out a lottery ticket from his pocket.

"Xiao Yuan, look what this is."

"Taiye, did you go to the lottery?"

In recent years, the lottery fever can be said to have been prevalent in various places.

Every time there was a town fair, there were lottery booths on both sides of the road, with people in uniform clothes standing behind them selling tickets. The villagers nearby would all be attracted, just as lively as a market.

The scraped waste lottery tickets piled up on the road, layer upon layer.

"Where did you buy a lottery ticket? Taiye, I picked this up."

"Picked up?"

"Right, look."

Li Zhuoyuan took the lottery ticket. It said "Beijing two people five-day luxury tour".

"Hehe, look, how's my luck, Taiye? I heard Zhuangzhuang say that you are busy with your internship now and don't need to go back to school. You don't have anything to do now, so you can just go back to Jingli and take another look.

You don't need to go to your mom, but you also have relatives in Jingli, don't you?"

"Taiye, I don't want to go back to Jingli. I live very well here."

"I'm not telling you to go back to Jingli to live. Isn't this a package tour? It's free, so why not go?"

"But, you can't go, Taiye." Li Zhuoyuan pointed at the small print on the lottery ticket. "It's expired. This was a prize drawn from the previous two periods."

"Expired? Has someone already won?"

"En."

Generally, these big prizes are won by the organizing party themselves, who go on stage to claim the prize. Ordinary people can only draw shampoo, soap, or something similar.

"Hiss, wasn't I happy for nothing? I still kept it in my pocket as a treasure."

"Taiye, if you want to go to Jingli to take a look, I'll take you on a tour."

Going to Jingli to tour is almost a dream for all older generations now. They want to go and see that sun.

"What's the point of spending that money? I heard that food and drink in Jingli are not cheap. I'm not going, not going, not going!"

"Taiye, I've saved quite a bit of money, enough to take you..."

"Where is that little money you saved enough? Are you going to marry a wife? Are you going to have a child? Are you going to buy a house in the city?"

Li Zhuoyuan blinked. How old was he?

Li Sanjiang touched the teenager's head: "It doesn't matter. Taiye is planning everything for you. Business is good now. Let Taiye save some more. It's enough, it's enough."

"Okay, Taiye."

The teenager knew that earning and saving money for himself was now Taiye's greatest joy in life.

"Dinner time!"

Downstairs, Liu Yi's punctual announcement came.

"Go, go call that girl to eat together."

"En."

After Li Zhuoyuan left the room, Li Sanjiang picked up the lottery ticket again and looked at it:

"How did it just expire?"

Li Sanjiang smacked his lips a few times.

He originally didn't like drawing lotteries, and he didn't like playing cards every day.

But his original lack of interest was actually piqued by this expired lottery ticket.

"Or, should I buy one and scratch it tomorrow?"

......

Late night.

West room.

Yin Meng was living here now.

At this moment, she had filled the room with various bottles and jars from the bed to the cabinet and the ground.

Inside were all the poisons she had personally extracted.

She was clear about the effects of one-third of the poisons. As for the other two-thirds, only heaven knew.

The Gu insect was in Yin Meng's hand, exposing two long black whiskers.

She started mixing poisons with her other hand, trying to match several kinds of poisons.

She discovered a rule, that is, the fiercer the poison, the more violently the Gu insect's two black whiskers would shake.

Yin Meng relied on this point to explore poison matching.

She matched another dose of poison and put it into a special container.

The black whiskers shook quickly, very vigorously.

She matched another dose of poison.

The black whiskers shook into afterimages.

Yin Meng nodded and tried to mix these two doses of poison together according to her subjective proportion.

The black whiskers did not move.

Yin Meng's face showed doubt.

Is this when poison attacks poison and becomes non-poisonous?

Yin Meng used her finger to touch the Gu insect's black whiskers and found that they had become hard as a rock.

She opened her hand, and the Gu insect lost its reaction.

Yin Meng twisted her head and looked at the containers she had used to mix and isolate the poisons, and found that a small hole had melted out at the bottom.

The next moment,

She only heard a sound,

"Plop!"

Yin Meng's head hit the bed and she fainted from her own poison.
