Chapter 186
Li Zhuoyuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, tore it in half, folded and rolled half of the sheet, and used it to stop his nosebleed.
His practical consumption tonight was not large, and could even be said to be very low.
Controlling the ceramic dolls underground wasn't difficult, because Xu Yijin's mastery over them wasn't deep. The ceramic dolls were numerous, but compared to the general Gu controlled in the past, they weren't on the same level at all.
As for controlling this formation, outsiders might call it incredible, but to Li Zhuoyuan, it was just routine operation.
After Xu Yijin started the fight, her attention was entirely on the battle situation, and she didn't notice the changes happening underground. Or perhaps, she never considered that the formation she had already set up would undergo any changes.
All Li Zhuoyuan did throughout the process were these two things.
If you had to point out a little more, it was nothing more than using some energy to observe and control the battlefield, but these didn't count for much.
The practical consumption wasn't high, but the total consumption was still very large, because most of the consumption was wasted on preheating.
Like a tractor, after starting, it just kept roaring there, but didn't actually drive much distance.
This was the drawback of numerical overflow.
Putting all usable trump cards, including himself, on the table in the first instance, as long as he won, there would inevitably be waste.
But facing an opponent like Xu Yijin, and with the final goal of killing her, it was impossible to hold back.
Sometimes, calculating small accounts meant suffering a big loss.
The four corpses that Tan Wenbin had trapped all collapsed after Xu Yijin died.
"Hu..."
Tan Wenbin stood up, crossing his arms to block two dolls vigorously singing nursery rhymes.
The two children were very obedient. After Tan Wenbin retracted his hands, they both covered their mouths, looked at each other, and stopped making any sound.
They also understood how much trouble they had caused their foster father before by eating their fill, including this time. Although they just came out to play a bit, their foster father was about to faint again.
Tan Wenbin also understood this point, so he had to seize the time while he still had a little control over the ghost control technique to help Xiao Yuan brother do more and tie up loose ends.
The first thing to do was...
"Pa!"
He opened a can of Jianlibao and handed it to Li Zhuoyuan.
Li Zhuoyuan took it and walked forward while drinking.
Runsheng was kneeling there, propped up by his Yellow River shovel.
Runsheng wasn't satisfied with his performance. The full-open air gate was his ultimate skill, but it didn't achieve the effect he wanted.
In his imagination, he should have had the opportunity to kill Xu Yijin in one shot, but unfortunately, Xu Yijin didn't cooperate with him.
Li Zhuoyuan patted Runsheng's shoulder: "Runsheng brother, you already did very well."
At the beginning, Li Zhuoyuan did regret that it would have been better if Runsheng had some techniques, but this regret was only limited to that time.
The fact was, Runsheng could develop his physical body to this extent step by step not fundamentally because of "specialization", but because his strict and deformed exclusivity destined him to only walk this path. Being able to walk out was already extremely difficult.
Without Runsheng's rampage on the front battlefield, forcing Xu Yijin to not dare to face him directly and only able to dodge, there would have been no subsequent result of seizing the opportunity to compress the battlefield and finally kill her.
That night, Xu Yijin happily killed the four people on the second floor, proving that she had many ways to deal with enemies, but these methods had no place to be used against Runsheng's force-breaking charge.
Killing wasn't sparring. The latter stopped at a point, and everyone had the opportunity to display their various methods one by one. The former... was coming straight for your life.
Xiao Yuan's comfort made Runsheng smile.
Although his heart was still very self-blaming and he was still dissatisfied with himself, he knew that he couldn't let Xiao Yuan continue to comfort him. Every comforting sentence was spoken by Xiao Yuan suppressing his inner pain.
Tan Wenbin walked to Runsheng's side and asked him: "Can you still walk?"
Runsheng shook his head.
He could have originally rushed two more times, but now that he had stopped, his body had already cooled down. He was fast approaching body paralysis and consciousness fainting.
"Then loosen the shovel and lie down for a while first."
Tan Wenbin took the Yellow River shovel from Runsheng's hand. Without the support, Runsheng fell backward to the ground, and he could just see the stars in the night sky.
For the first time, he felt that Lijiang's starry sky was indeed different from Nantong's. The stars here were closer and brighter.
Tan Wenbin took away the Yellow River shovels of all his companions, and then instructed his two adopted sons to control the shovels and start digging pits.
Fortunately, Fat Jin brother's guesthouse was in the countryside, and the nearby residents were sparse, with basically no one at night. Otherwise, seeing several shovels suspend themselves in the air and dig the ground would simply be like seeing a ghost alive.
Li Zhuoyuan walked to White Crane Child.
Yes, it was still White Crane Child.
The work was done, but the child still hadn't left.
It was very painful. Anyone with so many needles inserted into their body wouldn't feel good.
But the child endured the pain and just didn't leave.
Especially after seeing the teenager with a clear nosebleed start walking towards here and stopping midway to pat Runsheng's shoulder in comfort, the child made up its mind:
No matter how painful it was, it had to hold on until it received the award and shook hands with the leader!
Among the various god statues in the Official General Temple, it ranked last and became the first summoned object for every new child medium to try... The influence of strength here wasn't actually the main factor.
But initially, upon receiving the summon from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's decree, the child immediately clasped its hands together and returned to the Bodhisattva's seat.
The Increase and Decrease Two Generals came later. They, as ghost kings in the human world, were fiercely domineering. Even when facing the Bodhisattva's decree, they were still unrestrained and laughed wildly.
Although the final outcome was the same, being "summoned" by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
But in the yamen, their rank was still above its own.
Trivial small jobs, it would manage; big jobs with good benefits, the Two Generals would go.
Even later, as the Official General system became more and more grand, and more and more god statues were erected, even those fierce ghosts and evil spirits who didn't possess the strength of the Increase and Decrease Two Generals still deliberately showed arrogance when receiving the Bodhisattva's decree, and then entered the yamen and ranked above itself.
Some truths, the child didn't understand before, but now, the child only wanted to progress.
Li Zhuoyuan respected the child medium, but always looked down on these yin gods. The past behavior of these yin gods was indeed very hard to make people look up to in the eyes of clear-eyed people.
The previous child also had a nose-to-the-sky attitude and various calculated thoughts, but no matter what, in the last two times, the child's performance was indeed impeccable.
Grandpa said that a hardworking mule must be fed a good meal immediately and then helped to brush its fur.
Grandpa also said that if you encountered a mule smart enough to understand human words, you should spend more time talking to it. After a while, you could let it sleep in the room on the bed and have pancakes to eat every day.
Li Zhuoyuan handed the Jianlibao in his hand to the child, feeding it to drink.
The child opened its mouth to drink.
Then some liquid overflowed from the place where the talisman needle was on its chest, like opening a shower head.
The child immediately reached out and covered its chest. The liquid no longer flowed out. It used the remaining divine power it brought down during this descent to nourish the child medium's body.
Even virtuous old child mediums rarely enjoyed this kind of treatment. Yin gods would respect them, but yin gods preferred to possess adult bodies.
"Before in Nantong, I actually set up a dojo. After I go back this time, I will supplement a format, Nantong Fishing Corpses Li.
At that time, everyone will get a portrait, and you can hang yours among them too."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Li Zhuoyuan heard sounds coming from the chest cavity opposite, which were the child's heartbeats.
No emotion, no understanding of human feelings. Sometimes it was precisely because it was too easy to see through the other person's thoughts that it was very difficult to form an emotional bond with them.
What White Crane Child wanted, Li Zhuoyuan always understood.
Otherwise, his previous grasp and warnings to the child wouldn't have all hit the child's vital points so accurately.
The vertical pupil disappeared.
The child left satisfied. When it left, its whole divine body was floating.
Not only because the divine power brought down during this descent was almost completely consumed.
Lin Shuyou returned.
"Thud!"
A You knelt on the ground, propping himself up with both hands.
On that side, Tan Wenbin, who had already dug the pits, had already carried Runsheng back to the guesthouse.
At this moment, Tan Wenbin quickly ran out again and came to Lin Shuyou.
"A You?"
"Bin brother..."
"Come, I'll carry you to sleep."
Tan Wenbin first pulled out all the needles from A You's body, then carried him up.
Lin Shuyou felt the ice-cold, hard back of Bin brother.
Fortunately, it wasn't long, and he was soon placed on the bed, otherwise his chest would have suffered frostbite.
"You should sleep quickly, get a good rest."
"Okay, Bin brother."
Tan Wenbin went out to continue carrying people.
Lin Shuyou lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
What to do? Next time I go home for New Year, how to tell Master, Grandpa, and them about this?
Listen, Xiao Yuan brother seemed to have the intention of digging up the child, and the child agreed very much.
The strangest thing was... Lin Shuyou felt that he himself also agreed very much.
...
Yin Meng's state was a little better, but not much.
Her skin color had changed again.
Initially, Aunt Liu used a medicinal bath to help her beautify, making her very fair.
Now, this kind of fairness was actually more convenient for her to change color.
Li Zhuoyuan never guided Yin Meng in researching poison art, and he was willing to let her play freely.
But this kind of poison method that harmed both the enemy and herself every time really made people feel headache.
He had to help her find a better way to apply poison.
But Yin Meng had only preliminarily mastered walking yin. It was difficult to let her learn some techniques from masters, and the practicality was low. When a real fight started, it was often not as effective as her directly holding poison and rushing forward.
Just at this time, Tan Wenbin came back to carry people again.
Li Zhuoyuan "saw" the two children on Tan Wenbin's shoulders, who were still covering their mouths and staring everywhere with their two round slippery big eyes.
After the two children noticed Li Zhuoyuan's gaze, they immediately closed their eyes.
They were clearly very afraid of this big brother.
Li Zhuoyuan felt that he had found a method.
Tan Wenbin had these two growing resentful infants, which could complement Yin Meng a little.
However, the specific operation here still required him to re-plan and design, and even target some techniques for improvement.
Otherwise, if they rushed to join hands, he was afraid that Tan Wenbin's two adopted sons would be poisoned to scattered souls by Yin Meng's poison first.
Yin Meng held two poison cans in her hand. One can contained highly volatile toxin, which could be used to clean up toxin residue at the site. The other can contained a relatively low-level corrosive toxin, used to destroy corpses.
Tan Wenbin first carried Yin Meng back to the guesthouse, then took out a can of poison and started cleaning up the toxin residue around. This was farmland, and people would come to cultivate it. Later, they would also grow grain to eat. If the process wasn't done well, there would be big problems later, and then the cause and effect would still be borne by himself and others.
The pits, Tan Wenbin had already dug. The four corpses had also been placed in them respectively, but he wasn't in a hurry to use the other can of toxin to destroy the corpses after all, as Xu Yijin's corpse hadn't been collected yet.
And now, Xiao Yuan brother was just squatting beside Xu Yijin's corpse.
It was very obvious that Xiao Yuan brother wanted to feel it a little.
Li Zhuoyuan's hand wandered over Xu Yijin's body.
He was very rich, sitting on the inheritance of his Qin and Liu families' ancestral homes.
But he was also very poor. Those things nominally belonged to him, but he couldn't go and use them now.
The things he could use now, except for what he could pick up, were only what he could touch.
The teenager didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, just like Xu Yijin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with killing the four people on the second floor last night.
A killer is always killed by others.
She wanted to use her team as a shield, and also as a scapegoat, to die for her.
She didn't do anything wrong, she just picked the wrong soft persimmon.
Li Zhuoyuan felt out a ceramic soft sword from Xu Yijin's body. Unfortunately, this sword was only suitable for Xu Yijin herself. Others would find it inconvenient even for cutting fruit with it.
During the previous fight, Xu Yijin hadn't drawn the sword either. She knew that fighting the full-open air gate Runsheng with this sword was very unrealistic.
A small bag containing some pills. The ingredients couldn't be distinguished temporarily, so he collected them first.
Besides, there were still some odds and ends, none of which were very valuable.
Li Zhuoyuan was poor, but his vision was high, and he didn't collect just anything.
To this, Li Zhuoyuan didn't feel how lost. Normal people walking the rivers and lakes rarely had treasures all over their bodies. In life and death fights, victory or defeat was often instantaneous, and there was no time to take them out one by one.
She wasn't Zhao Yi.
Thinking of Zhao Yi, Li Zhuoyuan subconsciously pursed his lips. The "young master" image he showed in front of Xu Yijin was copied from Zhao Yi.
Art indeed originated from life, and it was indeed useful.
Li Zhuoyuan's gaze fell on the shattered ladies' picture body beside him. This was indeed a good thing. It was something that absorbed and nourished the soul body. Its biggest value was the black shadow inside.
If he could get it completely, he could find a way to control or even re-refine it.
But now, it had already been destroyed by White Crane Child. At that time, the child had no other method and had to be busy killing people.
However, one thing Li Zhuoyuan was very sure of.
No matter what cultivation method you practiced, it was impossible to grow ceramic infinitely from your body. There must be some special artifact that stimulated it.
But he couldn't find anything in her body.
That should be... inside the body.
Li Zhuoyuan pressed his finger on Xu Yijin's brow and tapped continuously, feeling carefully.
Soon, he caught a wisp of special response.
Li Zhuoyuan took out a copper coin sword with his other hand and patted it on Xu Yijin's corpse.
The copper coin sword was the natural nemesis of all evil things. Under one pat, the copper rust on it trembled, and a piece of red ceramic flew out of Xu Yijin's mouth.
Li Zhuoyuan reached out to grab it. The instant it entered his hand, this thing was like a living creature, actually actively drilling towards the flesh of his palm.
The teenager used the copper coin sword to pat his hand and pick it out. In just an instant, his right palm was dripping with fresh blood.
Li Zhuoyuan didn't mind shaking off the blood from his hand. Tan Wenbin had just finished cleaning up the surrounding toxins and came back, just seeing this scene. He immediately took out gauze to help Xiao Yuan brother wrap it.
"Xiao Yuan brother, this is..."
"It can fuse into the body and urge one's blood, flesh, and vitality to transform into a substance similar to ceramic."
"So evil?"
"Is it as evil as your ghost control technique?"
"Hehe."
Li Zhuoyuan suddenly realized something. Before, he felt that letting Tan Wenbin learn the ghost control technique was a bit too radical. Although Tan Wenbin himself was willing, this technique would greatly damage his lifespan every time he used it.
But in fact, for most people walking the rivers and lakes, this was just the most normal state.
Sacrifice one's vitality, blood, flesh, and lifespan, obtain the most extreme power in the most extreme way, cope with every wave, and then obtain counter-supplementation from the merit after the end of every wave.
Not everyone could be like Zhao Yi, who could be equipped with everything needed by the family before lighting the lamp to walk the rivers.
Like Xu Yijin and Xiong Shan, or rather, they were just the most common. Every wave was a desperate struggle. Various evil overdraft methods, as long as they were effective, would be used on their bodies without scruple.
Standing from Xu Yijin's perspective, Li Zhuoyuan could truly understand Xu Yijin's contempt for the "young master" team.
It was just a pity that this was just the rivers and lakes. Not only excellent commoners of the rivers and lakes would die, but also many members of the Dragon King family would die.
It was not uncommon, even in the majority, for people who enshrined the Dragon King on their home altar to stain their hands with the fresh blood of the enemy family's disciples when walking the rivers.
Uncle Qin's failure to walk the rivers and still survive was originally a great stroke of luck, and at that time, there were really too few people in the family, and they couldn't afford to lose anyone.
In the past, people of commoner origin like Xiong Shan could still retreat; but those of the Dragon King family often preferred to die rather than light the lamp and admit defeat.
Li Zhuoyuan used the copper coin sword to suppress this piece of red fragmented porcelain. He had to research this thing properly to see if he could also make some ceramic puppets to play with.
He was young and unable to practice martial arts. These puppet things could indeed make up for his biggest shortcoming now, but he still needed to see the specific effect.
And during real killing, techniques without enough strength had no necessity to be on stage at all. They couldn't be compared to Runsheng's full-force shovel.
Li Zhuoyuan waved his hand, and a ceramic doll drilled out from underground.
Tan Wenbin's eyes glared, thinking it was Xu Yijin's backup, but then he saw Xiao Yuan brother directly summon it to his hand, and he realized he had overreacted.
When controlling this group of ceramic dolls underground before, Li Zhuoyuan had noticed it because there was something inside it.
Such a precious token as broken jade, Xu Yijin couldn't possibly leave it in the room during a fight, but it was inconvenient to carry, and if the corpse gas inside were affected by the fight and erupted, it would only cause great hidden dangers to herself.
So, she chose to put it underground first.
Li Zhuoyuan tapped the ceramic doll's head twice with his finger. The ceramic doll opened its mouth, revealing the black broken jade inside.
The ceramic interior was already deep black, meaning that Xu Yijin's suppression of it was already near its limit. This was also the reason why she urgently wanted to use her team as a shield.
She really didn't have much time left, and his "young master" team was also close at hand.
Perhaps, in Xu Yijin's eyes, this was simply heaven's "favor" to her.
Li Zhuoyuan faced the empty field and said:
"Corpse gas, evil things, should be executed."
This was considered a supplementary statement of exemption from responsibility.
After saying this sentence, Li Zhuoyuan felt some fatigue in his spirit.
All those who shouted to protect the righteous path, under the guidance of the river water, came to this place, an Asura field where they could kill each other.
Fat Jin brother never expected that the three groups of guests he attracted would kill each other until only one group remained, completely unaware of the situation.
These two groups of people who died may not have died at the hands of evil things.
In this wave, they, in the true sense... were destroyed for the righteous path?
"Binbin brother, let's process it."
"Okay."
Tan Wenbin carried Xu Yijin's corpse and put it into the fifth pit.
The pit was dug very roughly, with no coffin, not even a straw mat, but the corpse was arranged neatly by Tan Wenbin.
Perhaps in Tan Wenbin's heart, if he dug pits and buried people today, he might not be buried tomorrow?
It was just that this kind of idea was not suitable to say out, as it was inauspicious.
After placing the corpses, Tan Wenbin poured corrosive toxin on them. Soon, the corpses completely dissolved, leaving only a human-shaped trace in the pits.
On Xu Yijin's side, there was also a melted luggage box trace.
Tan Wenbin was a meticulous person. When he carried his companions back to the room earlier, he conveniently went into Xu Yijin's room and did a clean-up.
"Don't say it, Mengmeng's allocated corpse-dissolving water is really effective."
Tan Wenbin said while filling the five pits with soil. It was inconvenient to set up tombstones, so he only made them slightly more prominent than the surrounding area, treating them as the last trace in this world.
After finishing these, Tan Wenbin felt his body starting to feel seriously empty.
Li Zhuoyuan accompanied him back to the guesthouse, and also conveniently deactivated the formation in the front house.
"Xiao Yuan brother, fighting in the guesthouse is really good. Whether you win or lose, you can just go to sleep with your head down."
Tan Wenbin used his last energy on this witty remark, then went back to the room, lay down, and directly fainted.
Li Zhuoyuan went back to his room, wrote a check-out notice letter, which also included a thank you letter, and placed it on the counter in the front house.
With the emergency departure of the four people the previous night, it was also very normal for another person to temporarily check out.
Even if Fat Jin brother had suspicions, he would also pinch this suspicion dead. He needed to open the door for business and couldn't afford to meddle in extra affairs.
When Xu Yijin knew she was going to die, she shouted "I surrender".
It was just that at that time, he no longer had the capital to provide her with the condition of surrender.
Just like now, his four companions were all faint.
Could he keep Xu Yijin and sit face to face with her, staring at each other?
Precisely because Li Zhuoyuan understood formations too well, he was very clear that there was no completely safe restriction in this world.
Sitting in the room, Li Zhuoyuan took out the ceramic doll and placed it on the table.
He added another layer of seal to it in his own way.
The teenager couldn't help but sigh: "Such a messy and chaotic bottom-layer seal logic."
Even if you didn't consider the subsequent layers of seals, you shouldn't have done it so roughly from the beginning.
This broken jade had passed through the hands of two waves of people, and the remnants of the original seal were still there, unable to be removed.
Even with his ability, he could only add one day's seal at a time. There was no way to continuously seal it down like the piece in his hand.
All the processes were finished.
Li Zhuoyuan lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Early the next morning, he was woken up by the bright sunlight of Lijiang through the window.
After washing up, Li Zhuoyuan changed into a clean set of clothes and, with a very healthy and positive posture, pushed open the room door and walked out.
Running a guesthouse was very tiring, especially this kind of family-style small workshop business. Hiring people was a luxury, and only the couple themselves and the elders at home participating in the labor could ensure income.
In the early morning, Fat Jin brother's parents were just cleaning, mainly cleaning Xu Yijin's room opposite.
Fat Jin brother walked over and said with a smile: "Now, when people check out, they are all in a hurry."
Li Zhuoyuan: "They must have something urgent."
Fat Jin brother nodded: "Um, should be."
Saying that, Fat Jin brother just wanted to go find Tan Wenbin. He quite liked chatting with Tan Wenbin, but this morning, Tan Wenbin didn't come out with this teenager.
When checking in, Li Zhuoyuan's side had just told Fat Jin brother that they didn't need the guest rooms cleaned. At this moment, the doors and windows were closed, and the curtains were drawn, so it was quite quiet.
Li Zhuoyuan didn't plan to move. It was inconvenient for him to drag four unconscious adults anywhere, and moreover, when the second piece of broken jade couldn't be suppressed, he would still be discovered even if he hid in a mountain ditch.
It was better to just stay here and lie low. Anyway, he had food and drink, and he could also quietly wait for the clues that Fat Jin brother would bring out later.
He had brought three groups of people, and in the end, only his group was left, so this clue should be about himself.
Li Zhuoyuan borrowed a small stove from Fat Jin brother. There were some medicinal materials in each of their backpacks.
Because the original pharmacist in the team was extremely unreliable, even if you found targeted medicinal materials, no one could allocate them.
So everyone only brought supplementary medicine.
Li Zhuoyuan just sat at the door of his room, holding a small fan, and boiled medicine.
After boiling the medicine, Li Zhuoyuan carried the bowls and went into their rooms to feed them.
Although they were all faint, their basic swallowing instinct was still there, which saved Li Zhuoyuan from having to insert a gastric tube for them.
This supplementary medicine was just like eating a meal.
After feeding them, Li Zhuoyuan wiped them down one by one, changed their clean clothes, and conveniently turned them over and rubbed them to promote blood circulation.
The health books he had read before came in handy at this moment.
After finishing these, the sky was already dark.
Taking care of four people alone was indeed not easy.
In the evening, in the room, Li Zhuoyuan first spent ten minutes adding a new layer of seal to the broken jade in his wooden box. As for the broken jade in the ceramic doll, he spent a full four hours to re-seal it.
Li Zhuoyuan looked at this exquisite porcelain doll, his eyes filled with disdain.
This thing was more and more like a bomb that could explode at any time.
But he still had to watch it explode in his arms while delaying its explosion time as much as possible.
Then, in the eyes of the crowd, he had to hand it out.
After finishing the seal, Li Zhuoyuan finally had time to take out that piece of red fragmented porcelain and research it a little.
This thing should be a fragment of some item. It was a pity that the was left in the corner of his study, otherwise, he could really try to ask the what this thing was exactly.
But it was truly very active. It had an extremely strong sensitivity to blood and flesh. And after leaving Xu Yijin's body for one day, when Li Zhuoyuan moved the copper coin that was suppressing it, it actually started to tremble slightly by itself, like a starved wolf cub.
The most suitable way to research it was to first arrange curse patterns on his arm, then let it enter his palm, and then contact and adjust it. If an uncontrollable accident happened, he would just force it away.
But the problem was, his team now had only one healthy person, himself. If he messed up, then everyone would lie down.
He could only wait for one or two of his companions to wake up before conducting adventurous research.
He checked the time, and it was already very late.
But upstairs, opposite, and in all the rooms in the guesthouse, the sounds were still continuous.
Machinery units traveling could bring their families, which was considered an internal welfare of the unit.
The smell of the medicine that Li Zhuoyuan boiled at the door of the room in the afternoon was also absorbed by them, so tonight, both the new and old couples were particularly energetic.
Some couples had even already become estranged in body and spirit, but tonight, they also erupted with the sweet fire of first love.
The next day, everyone praised the magic of Lijiang, which was truly a place where good mountains and good water nourished people.
To ensure the quality of his sleep at night, Li Zhuoyuan specially chose the time when they went out to tour the scenic spots today to boil medicine.
Tonight, he spent eight hours sealing the broken jade in the ceramic doll completely.
He was tired, and he didn't want to.
Even more tiring were the other rooms that had performed unusually well last night and were filled with even greater expectations for tonight.
"Yesterday was overdone, today is too tired."
"Walked too much when going out to tour the scenic spots during the day, no strength."
"Sleep, just sleep soundly."
The characteristic of thermal expansion and contraction didn't only apply to solid objects, it also applied to emotions.
When the tourism group went out together to tour the scenic spots on the second day, Fat Jin brother, the guide, clearly felt the atmosphere of the tourism group was suppressed today.
Yesterday, they were still as close as glue, and even the old couple was still a sweet old couple. Today, they all looked at each other unpleasantly.
After feeding his companions the medicine, Li Zhuoyuan continued to arrange the formation.
The formation was finally arranged.
Li Zhuoyuan walked to the rooftop terrace to appreciate the beautiful scenery around, considering it a small rest.
In front, there should have just been sun and rain, with an obvious yin-yang divide line.
In another direction, between the thick clouds, a small hole opened, and a beam of light shone down, forming a circle similar to a stage spotlight in the rice field.
All were beautiful scenery.
It was a pity that Li Zhuoyuan had to rush to appreciate it, because in a while, he still had to go back to his room to fiddle with today's seal.
That erupting corpse gas still existed, constantly changing positions.
Even if Li Zhuoyuan didn't look closely, he was still clear about how many bloody massacres had happened around it in these few days.
And, because two out of the three pieces of broken jade were with him.
Therefore, the piece wandering outside actually became somewhat unique, which greatly increased the intensity of the snatch.
Having multiple targets and only one target were completely different concepts.
No one knew when the feast would begin, so they didn't dare to delay or sit and watch, they could only act.
The teenager finished eating the flower cake that Fat Jin brother gave him and was about to go downstairs when a bird appeared in the distant sky, enjoying its flight.
Li Zhuoyuan recognized that bird.
It had once followed him all the way in Guizhou.
Under that person, there was a young girl who had an extremely strong affinity with animals and could issue orders to animals.
Li Zhuoyuan didn't expect him to come too.
By all accounts, he shouldn't have caught this wave.
After all, the original old witch's wave in Guizhou had been eaten up by him, which forced Zhao Yi to hastily connect to another wave.
However, it wasn't strange that he actually came, because Zhao Yi had only suffered consecutive setbacks in front of him, but in the eyes of others, Zhao Yi was still a character not to be messed with.
The bird was very far away, and naturally couldn't discover Li Zhuoyuan standing there.
But Li Zhuoyuan still reached out his hand, planning to actively call it to attract its attention.
Zhao Yi should still have those top-grade pills on his body. He had tested them last time, and they had a very good effect on his companions' injuries. Overall, they were much better than the supplementary medicine he boiled every day.
Furthermore, he had two pieces of this broken jade, and he didn't mind pursuing the third piece to complete the three-in-one.
In fact, with his team's current state, they didn't have the ability to pursue that third piece anymore.
The most important thing was that the early stage killing and snatching was not wrong, but the main event was after the feast began in the later stage. It was hard to say that at that time, a three-party joint force would be needed instead.
Being too persistent in eating alone would choke you to death.
The bird in the sky first perceived the changes in the feng shui pattern in the distant area. After flying towards here, its gaze gradually locked onto the teenager on the roof of an earthen building below.
Li Zhuoyuan stopped the traction of the feng shui pattern, turned around, and simply waved at the bird.
The bird seemed to be hesitating, thinking it should go back and report first, then circled back and forth in the air, just not willing to come down.
This kind of tangled force was simply carved from the same mold as Zhao Yi.
Li Zhuoyuan was too lazy to wait, reached out his hand again, and focused his eyes on the bird.
The bird suddenly felt a killing intent and immediately fell at extreme speed, flying towards Li Zhuoyuan.
Li Zhuoyuan spread his palm, and it very obediently fell onto Li Zhuoyuan's palm.
Animals' senses were originally more sensitive than ordinary people's, especially this kind of awakened wisdom. To a certain extent, they could all be called spiritual objects.
However, the bird in his eyes was still only slightly humanized. Essentially, it was still quite stupid.
Li Zhuoyuan reached out and fiddled with the bird's beak a few times.
"Go back and ask Zhao Yi for me, just ask him... does he want the broken jade or not."
