Chapter 252

Chapter 246Li Zhuiyuan shook the array flag, and the overlapping scenery in front gradually came into view.

Lin Shuyou’s eyes kept bulging, representing the child’s current emotions.

In the past, the child always needed to fight before being summoned down, and there was a strict time limit. So theoretically speaking, this was the child’s first time to fully accompany and complete a wave.

Although the scene before him was just the beginning of this wave, the child still sighed at this smooth and fluent feeling.

Yesterday, the young man just asked Tan Wenbin and the others to scout, and then went to the hospital himself. This meant that the young man was confident that he could easily break the protective array even without prior exploration and ascending the mountain gate for the first time.

Status is earned through one’s own strength. The young man hasn’t even practiced martial arts yet, but he can make everyone follow him willingly. What he relies on is his almost overwhelming ability in everything except close combat.

In other words, if it weren’t for this flaw in the young man, what would be the necessity for these people to exist?

Even this team wouldn’t have any meaning in forming.

It was precisely because the young man was too outstanding that he could distribute a large amount of Jianghu merit to these people.

It wasn’t that the young man deliberately did this; he really didn’t need it too much.

Lin Shuyou was now a little annoyed that the child would have emotional reactions from time to time. Last night when he was taking a bath and looking in the mirror in the guesthouse, he felt that his eyes were a bit protruding.

If he were to say something useful or valuable, that would be acceptable, but at this critical moment, the child was constantly sending out from the bottom of his heart:

"Possessed child, follow him well!"

"Possessed child, this is your opportunity, and my opportunity too!"

Lin Shuyou originally specially took the Jinling exam to escape the nagging of his family elders. Who knew that after going around in circles, he now seemed to have installed a nagging person to carry with him.

*Crack.*

Runsheng rushed in first, followed closely by Lin Shuyou, then Yinmeng, and finally Tan Wenbin pushing the cart with the twin ghosts.

Everyone had already rehearsed how to proceed after entering the gate.

Someone had named you and said they wanted to exterminate your entire family, and probably had already sent people to Nantong. This time you came to their door, could it be that you still wanted to greet them leisurely?

Definitely kill from head to tail, from outside to inside, trampling all the way, killing to the most core area of the people, and then solving all the remaining core people. By then, you can stop slightly, drink some water. The whole process requires no communication, absolutely no fighting.

The young man’s team always acted so decisively, never dragging their feet.

However, the plan was too full, and reality was surprisingly thin.

Runsheng had just entered, the air gate was still in turmoil, and his shovel was already raised, but he was stunned.

Lin Shuyou, who was behind him, thought Runsheng had encountered some powerful enemy blocking him. He naturally went around Runsheng’s back to join the battle, and then, he was also stunned.

When Yinmeng came in, the poison jar in her hand was already raised. She subconsciously looked for the densest area of people to throw it at, while also paying attention to whether there was a suitable fresh corpse on the ground in front of her.

Before entering, she specifically instructed Runsheng not to smash people too badly at the beginning.

But when Yinmeng saw the scene all over the place, she subconsciously bit her lip.

The good news was that she didn’t need to worry about not having suitable corpses for sacrifice. The bad news was... it seemed she didn’t need to sacrifice either.

Here, there were corpses everywhere, all of them having died tragically.

Although the Taoist temple had an array protecting it, the difference in climate from the outside world made the corpses better preserved, but one could still see that they had died two or three days ago.

Runsheng held his shovel horizontally in front of him, changing from an attacking posture to a defensive state. He was worried that there were more powerful existences inside.

Lin Shuyou’s eyes bulged, with some dissatisfaction and anger. Ayou and the child’s beliefs intertwined at this time:

Who did this? Robbing my job.

Yinmeng didn’t think that much, but instead observed the surrounding corpses, released the gu insects, and let them also help distinguish which corpses were more special and had higher utilization value.

Tan Wenbin sat on his "automatic wheelchair" and came in. Seeing this situation, he immediately instructed the two children not to push.

Then he immediately shrunk his body, crossed his hands into his sleeves, and entered a half-hibernation state.

He had a guess in his heart, although it was a bit bold, and a bit exaggerated, and he didn’t know how it was done, but he just felt that it should be possible.

And, he felt, Brother Xiao Yuan probably also had an estimate in his heart.

Li Zhuiyuan came in.

The young man didn’t expect the scene in front of him, but it wasn’t a surprise either.

"Let’s go in and look around."

Runsheng walked in front to lead the way.

Lin Shuyou pushed Tan Wenbin’s wheelchair.

Throughout the Taoist temple, corpses could be seen everywhere, as if a sudden killing had occurred, and the enemy hadn’t attacked from outside, but rather it seemed like an internal struggle had taken place.

Li Zhuiyuan saw the corpse of the sweeping old Taoist. He was kneeling there, his eyes wide, holding a large broom completely soaked red with fresh blood in his hand.

The gu insects crawled around on his body, then excitedly waved their tentacles towards Yinmeng, indicating that this corpse was considered small top quality.

Because this sweeping old Taoist, although dead, had his foundation preserved completely.

Yinmeng looked towards Runsheng. Runsheng nodded at her, meaning that when they left, he could help her chop it and take it away.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and gently touched the sweeping old Taoist’s eyebrow.

Lin Shuyou also stood over at this time: "Brother Xiao Yuan..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let It speak."

Ayou’s vertical pupils opened, and the child opened his mouth: "The other Taoist priests in this area were all killed by this broom. The wounds match up. And this old Taoist then died under a calamity."

Li Zhuiyuan: "More specific."

Child: "Calamity... just a calamity. It can be going mad while cultivating, or qi backlash, or untimely death due to entrusting something, or even cultivating the wrong path, leading to a deadly calamity falling upon the body."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You didn’t make things clear."

The child pursed his lips. It just wanted to show off its knowledge and add some sense of existence, but it didn’t expect the young man to be dissatisfied.

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is the power of feng shui turning into a killing calamity."

"Feng shui?" The child’s vertical pupils slightly bent, "How is this possible? Who can inject the power of feng shui, turn it into a calamity, and descend it on others?"

"As long as the method is proper, nothing is impossible. I also did similar things in the dream ghost dream initially, just that I was in a passive state at that time."

"I don’t have that memory segment. It should have been erased by me."

Li Zhuiyuan’s finger joints continuously knocked on the sweeping old Taoist’s forehead. *Knock knock*, a wisp of sandalwood mark weakly floated out.

"There are many ways to borrow power from the outside. Your official general head, the eight generals, and the holy child and holy girl are just one kind. Taoism also has the method of inviting ancestor masters to help.

This one, don’t look at him holding a broom and dressed very ordinarily, but in this Taoist temple’s system, he is also an ancestor master level figure.

And I observe this Taoist temple. The array layout and internal furnishings are all preserved completely, only the feng shui pattern here is simply full of holes.

Therefore, I speculate that it should be linked with the method of inviting ancestor masters by injecting feng shui power, forming a killing calamity aimed at the ancestor master."

Child: "Then it can only kill him alone..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "When I have the ability to kill you, is it difficult to threaten you to kill others first?"

The child was silent.

It just said itself that the nearby Taoist priests were killed by this sweeping old Taoist. This matches up.

Li Zhuiyuan’s fingertip continued to scrape on the sweeping old Taoist’s forehead. A bleeding mouth slowly appeared. All the vitality of this body just flowed out from here.

The young man suddenly felt a pain in his fingertip. He retracted his hand and looked down, discovering a small wound on his fingertip.

The child’s vertical pupils condensed. After carefully observing, it said: "Sword intent."

Yinmeng took out a band-aid. Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and refused. He rubbed his fingertip, and faint blood mist condensed, and the wound scabbed.

The child then continued: "Everything here was done by a powerful existence who is good at using swords and proficient in feng shui."

At this time, Tan Wenbin opened his mouth: "Brother Xiao Yuan, will doing this be dangerous?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Since they dared to do it, they definitely have a plan in mind."

Tan Wenbin: "That’s not bad. Finally, we waited for an opportunity."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes, a very good opportunity. If we go in and find that the number of ancestor masters is still extremely neat, then this opportunity will be more deliberate."

Every success has its cause and effect. Li Zhuiyuan had previously guessed that the difficulty of this wave might be reduced, but the way it was reduced didn’t necessarily mean the wave height became smaller, perhaps it just meant that when the wave hit, one layer was cut off in advance.

If it was really like this, the operation of the person who caused the problem was really smooth.

The rings were linked, reasonable, yet made it impossible for you to find a flaw to copy.

The child looked at the young man, then at Tan Wenbin, and asked:

"So, who?"

After asking, the child felt a dense palpitation in its heart. This emotion came from the possessed child.

"What are you afraid of?"

Lin Shuyou didn’t speak, just felt fear one after another.

Almost, the same scene would have appeared in his own family temple.

Compared to the scene before him, it seemed more humane for Uncle Qin to go to the door and exterminate the temple.

Because the most difficult thing to accept was this kind of choice of survival under life and death threats. Ayou believed that there would be people in the temple who would stick to their principles and prefer to die than submit, but there would definitely be elders from the past who would make the same choice as this sweeping old Taoist.

By then, when he returned home, what he would see would be the misery after mutual killing in the temple. This was a countless times more painful trampling than simply being killed.

The child’s vertical pupils dissipated and returned to the body. Then, in the bottom of his heart, he kept asking:

"Tell me, who did it, who?"

"That one living at home, the old lady."

After getting the answer, the child finally calmed down.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let’s continue walking."

Runsheng responded and continued to lead the way. Next, almost every area reset to the previous scene, equivalent to appearing one different 'sweeping old Taoist' after another.

All of them were killed by those around them, and then they themselves were killed.

This meant that all the elders in this Taoist temple, not a single one chose to stick to their principles. All of them, under the threat of death, opened up a slaughter of their own disciples.

Of course, this is not strange. The atmosphere of this Taoist temple was not like that. They could steal children and, after being destroyed, still stubbornly threaten to take revenge and exterminate the entire family. How could they truly cultivate the grand righteousness of Taoism?

Although they wore Taoist robes and chanted Wuliang Tianzun, they were just a group of thoroughly selfish people.

The deeper they went, the more obvious a certain movement became, but this movement did not possess a threat.

The deepest and largest building appeared in front of the crowd.

At the doorway, an old Taoist priest was sitting there painfully. In front of him was a middle-aged Taoist priest with several flowers inserted in his head, just opening his arms and happily running back and forth.

"Fly, fly, fly up, hahaha..."

The old Taoist priest who was sitting was Wen Chenzi. Because his body was suffering from a curse, he was placed in a secret room to recuperate, and therefore avoided the killing in the Taoist temple that day.

Seeing the people who came, Wen Chenzi’s lips trembled for a while, and finally his gaze fell on Tan Wenbin’s body.

That night in Nantong, it was this person who came out to stop him from taking the child away, and even cast a curse on him.

At that time, in his panic, he still stabbed and injured the other party. Now that he thought about it, this was probably intentional on the other party’s part.

"Fly, fly, fly!!!"

Ling Fengzi ran down the stairs and came towards Li Zhuiyuan and the others, running around them like a madman.

Li Zhuiyuan: "There’s no smell of excrement on his body. After going mad, he still knows to be clean and hygienic."

Ling Fengzi’s running posture stiffened for a moment.

Tan Wenbin: "Exactly. There are so many cases of faking madness in history. Even if someone is a prince, they at least live in a pigsty. You are too perfunctory."

"Fly... fly..."

Ling Fengzi’s shouting voice became weaker and weaker.

Yinmeng pointed at Ling Fengzi: "Then why didn’t he run away, but stayed here instead?"

Tan Wenbin: "Both of them were scared to death by the scene that day. They were also reluctant to leave their family business foundation here. They knew we would come to the door to do the final process, so they planned to deliberately pretend to be mad and play dumb, so that we would feel sighed and meaningless, and let this place go lightly."

Ling Fengzi continued to stagger, no longer making any sound.

He indeed thought so, but he didn’t expect that his performance was actually completely meaningless.

*Thud!*

Ling Fengzi simply knelt down. There was no longer any sign of madness on his face. He turned sincere and said:

"It is I who was blind, it is I who was arrogant and ridiculous. Now the Taoist temple up and down has become like this. I should redeem my sins with death, but please raise your noble hand and leave a spark of inheritance for my Seven Star View!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Are you willing to die?"

Ling Fengzi nodded forcefully: "I originally committed a deadly sin, and even caused the Taoist temple to suffer this calamity. I should go and die to apologize for my sins, only seeking to leave the inheritance of incense and fire."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Good, I promise you."

Ling Fengzi’s heart was filled with joy.

Who knew that next, the young man stretched out his hand and pointed at Wen Chenzi who was sitting behind him: "You will be the incense and fire inheritance I leave for this Taoist temple. Come, you kill this view master, and I will spare your life."

Ling Fengzi was struck by lightning.

Wen Chenzi trembled as he stood up and walked down the stairs. He also picked up a sword left from above and drew it out.

"Really... really?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Really. This is what your view master requested, and I agreed."

"Then I... the curse on my body..."

Tan Wenbin: "I’ll help you solve it."

Wen Chenzi held the sword and walked behind Ling Fengzi. He raised the sword and said: "View master senior brother, please rest assured, I will certainly continue the inheritance of my Seven Star View. At least... the incense and fire sacrifice will not be extinguished."

After saying that, the long sword stabbed down.

Just at this moment, a hand pinched the sword edge and twisted the long sword, stabbing it into Wen Chenzi’s body.

Wen Chenzi looked down in shock. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"You..."

Ling Fengzi: "It is you, this waste, who did that kind of thing, which caused my Seven Star View to fall to this state today. You, should die!"

He continued to exert force with his palm, and the sword edge stabbed deeper. Wen Chenzi’s body trembled and he died.

Ling Fengzi retracted his hand, and Wen Chenzi’s corpse fell to the ground.

"Before I die, I have a request..."

Ling Fengzi wiped the fresh blood on his Taoist robe with one hand while standing up.

After he stood up, the array covering the entire Taoist temple began to distort and operate. Groups of green flames rushed out from the various buildings inside the Taoist temple.

Ling Fengzi already knew that he couldn’t survive, and this Taoist temple couldn’t be preserved either.

He simply broke the pot and threw it away, destroying this place himself and ending the history of Seven Star View.

Ling Fengzi: "I want to know, who exactly are you?"

Li Zhuiyuan didn’t answer him, but his gaze fell on the stiff part of Ling Fengzi’s sleeve. It seemed to be hiding something inside.

It was something he carried with him even when he was pretending to be mad and playing dumb. It was definitely extremely important, at least for him at the moment, it had significant meaning.

Ling Fengzi saw that he didn’t get an answer. He took a deep breath, opened his palm, continued to manipulate the operation of the array, and said:

"As long as you can tell me, I will thoroughly burn down this place and save you... trouble."

Tan Wenbin looked towards Li Zhuiyuan. Li Zhuiyuan nodded, mainly to save trouble.

Seeing Brother Xiao Yuan agree, Tan Wenbin, who was sitting on the wheelchair, inevitably opened his sharp throat in his current physical state:

"Listen carefully, now standing in front of you is the only successor of the contemporary Qin and Liu families."

As for the name, he just didn’t report it.

"Qin and Liu families..."

Ling Fengzi began to think about the forces in the Jianghu. He thought from a very high starting point, but always couldn’t find a match. He could only continue to think higher, higher and higher. Finally, he thought of the two families in the Jianghu legend who once married and became one family.

"Dragon... Dragon King family?"

Tan Wenbin: "Hmm."

Ling Fengzi: "Hahahaha!"

At this moment, Ling Fengzi completely became Ling madman.

He thought of the sudden drastic change in the Taoist temple that day, he thought of Wen Chenzi actually being able to live and saying he had severely injured the other party, and he thought of the dialogue he had with that young man when he was trying to break the curse.

He himself had actually boasted that he wanted to exterminate the entire family of the Dragon King family.

At this time, all unwillingness and indignation, all shock and panic, all thoroughly vanished.

He offended the Dragon King family and suffered the extermination of his inheritance. This was reasonable!

At this moment, his laughter came from the bottom of his heart.

Tan Wenbin: "Can you die?"

Ling Fengzi: "Yes."

Saying that, Ling Fengzi began to tidy up his messy hair and wrinkled Taoist robe. He seemed still not satisfied, and pointed to a small pond beside him and said:

"Can I clean my face with water? Because I want to..."

Tan Wenbin: "Runsheng."

Ling Fengzi: "No need to trouble you, I can go myself..."

*Bang!*

Runsheng’s shovel smashed on Ling Fengzi’s completely unprepared head.

Ling Fengzi’s head exploded like a watermelon.

Runsheng opened the air gate on his body, and all the red and white sticky stuff that should have splashed in all directions was blown towards the opposite side, so as not to dirty his companions.

The headless corpse stood well in place for a while before falling backward.

Runsheng: "There are really a lot of things."

Some people, even if they are opponents, can get the last respect.

But it was very obvious that Ling Fengzi did not belong to this class.

But often the former walk the most freely and easily, while the latter, like Ling Fengzi, have especially many unnecessary things.

Tan Wenbin: "Ayou, flip his sleeve cuff and see what’s inside. Runsheng, go in and see what’s inside there."

With Tan Wenbin here, Li Zhuiyuan can say much less.

Lin Shuyou flipped up Ling Fengzi’s sleeve cuff and took out an invitation from inside, handing it to Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin didn’t take it, but signaled with his eyes.

Ayou immediately handed it to Brother Xiao Yuan.

Li Zhuiyuan took it and opened it. There was a very simple map drawn on it. This terrain should also be within the large area of Qingcheng Mountain.

"Taoist Seal Demon Assembly, the date is five days later."

Lin Shuyou: "Can this kind of person also go to seal demons?"

Tan Wenbin: "Didn’t they say seal them as demons?"

Yinmeng: "Then there should be quite a few Taoist temples invited, not just this one."

Li Zhuiyuan: "This should be the next stage’s clue. Five days is enough time for me to solve the matter at the hospital. By then, there should still be a new clue from a different perspective."

Tan Wenbin: "Time is still very ample. I feel we can even take two days to go to Chengdu..."

Lin Shuyou: "Look at pandas?"

Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes at Ayou and corrected him: "It’s to get clues."

Although it was said that the fire was spreading now, the fire had not yet reached its most prosperous time. The danger was not great, just a bit more smoke.

Runsheng ran out of the burning large hall, carrying a corpse.

He placed the corpse in front of Yinmeng and said: "Inside, except for the idols, there are many broken coffins and a ground full of corpses. Mengmeng, see if this can be used."

Tan Wenbin wanted to laugh a little.

Others all sent flowers and perfumes, or at least folded some stars and paper cranes. Runsheng directly sent you a corpse.

But Yinmeng really showed surprise on her face, and the gift was still sent correctly.

However, when Yinmeng checked with the gu insects, she said with some regret: "Old enough, but unfortunately it was squeezed dry and completely destroyed."

If it was in a well-preserved state, it would indeed be a very good sacrifice.

Runsheng nodded: "Then shall we take away all those seven people’s corpses that killed others?"

Yinmeng: "No need for so many, and it’s not easy to preserve. Just cut off a piece of the sweeping old Taoist from the outermost area and take it away."

Runsheng seemed to think of something again and said to Li Zhuiyuan: "Xiao Yuan, there are seven large incense burners inside, enshrining seven tablets without names."

Lin Shuyou: "Branches. This means that there are seven branches in this temple, some places also call them脉."

Tan Wenbin: "You are still familiar with this, after all, you are the master of one branch."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, that one of mine is already废, it no longer exists."

Tan Wenbin: "Oh, sorry, I forgot. You are now a truly unique genealogy book."

Lin Shuyou scratched his head: "Hehe."

Runsheng: "All the elder’s names have to be written below yours."

Lin Shuyou: "..."

Seven branches, the masters of the seven branches who killed people. This also means that at least seven people were sent to Nantong, and all seven branches were involved. Otherwise, the old lady would not have been able to completely wipe out this Taoist temple. When he and the others arrived, they would have at least faced resistance from one branch.

Is this a coincidence?

Li Zhuiyuan didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

Now it can almost be confirmed that this was deliberately promoted by the heavenly way.

Towards this, Li Zhuiyuan remained unmoved, and even less grateful. What it gives now, it will demand back in double next time. Heaven never loses.

The fire gradually grew bigger. This place will be burned into ashes, then revealed from the array, but the environment in the mountain will soon bury these traces again.

After leaving the Taoist temple, they walked down the mountain path. It was still a long distance to the road where the parking spot was located.

Lin Shuyou carried Tan Wenbin on his back again, and the wheelchair was folded and carried in his hand.

Tan Wenbin sighed: "It’s good to be young."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, you can get better after this is over, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Shuyou only felt a chill on his back, and the new version of the seal ban symbols were almost unable to hold.

The two children were puffing their cheeks and blowing hard at Lin Shuyou’s neck.

No way, who told him to mention which pot was not boiling.

Tan Wenbin comforted the two children and indicated that they shouldn’t play. Then he opened his mouth:

"Ah, I’ve experienced a period of old age life this time. I can even imagine what it will be like when I get old and become like this, with my old companion pushing me out in a wheelchair to get some fresh air."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, you have a lot of merit in Jianghu. You will live long and definitely walk after your old companion."

Ayou’s eyes bulged, and he immediately added:

"Push her wheelchair after walking after your old companion."

Tan Wenbin: "I said, when we go back this time, Yunyun will bring her classmate back. When you get along with that classmate, think before you speak."

Lin Shuyou: "Don’t worry, Brother Bin, even for sister-in-law’s sake, I will."

Tan Wenbin: "Yunyun said that classmate is also from Fujian."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiao Yuan, does that mean that by then, there will be quite a few nearby Taoist temples going to participate in this ‘Seal Demon Assembly’?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It’s not necessarily Taoist temples going."

Lin Shuyou: "Aren’t they all Taoist temples here? Could there be other forces?"

Tan Wenbin understood Brother Xiao Yuan’s meaning and said: "For example, forces like ours."

Lin Shuyou: "Forces like us?"

Tan Wenbin: "Did you forget that last time in Lijiang, we also competed for invitations? That time it was broken jade."

Lin Shuyou: "But aren’t all the invitations in the hands of the nearby Taoist temples this time?"

Tan Wenbin: "That’s just snatched from the hands of the Taoist temples. This is an entry qualification."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Some sects develop and degenerate more. Jianghu is just good at promoting lamp lighters to come over and conduct regular cleanups."

Those who can be cleaned up are cleaned up. Those who cannot be cleaned up are the lamp lighters who are cleaned up.

Li Zhuiyuan discovered very early that lamp lighters walking in Jianghu were also raised by the heavenly way, allowing them to compete and consume each other.

Lin Shuyou: "The difficulty doesn’t seem to be great. That Taoist temple is just ordinary in strength."

Anyway, Lin Shuyou felt that even if Seven Star View wasn’t processed in advance, with the strength of their team, it wouldn’t be difficult to exterminate this Taoist temple.

Tan Wenbin: "What if you get injured? What if it affects your state? Also, didn’t you see Runsheng carrying that corpse from the innermost area? Runsheng said there are many inside. If they weren’t killed in the process of being squeezed dry, do you think Ling Fengzi, as the view master, had some means or secret techniques to gain some power and help from those ancestor seals?"

Lin Shuyou: "Right, oh."

Speaking of this, Tan Wenbin couldn’t help but sigh: "Brother Xiao Yuan, that one, does he have the strength of the Dragon King?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "No."

Tan Wenbin was a little surprised. So certain?

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because that one doesn’t walk in Jianghu."

Without walking in Jianghu, you cannot experience the washing and impact of Jianghu water. You will always be incomparable to a true Dragon King.

Tan Wenbin: "Then, the reason that one doesn’t walk in Jianghu is because..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "They got married, so they didn’t walk."

A Li being able to follow him in Jianghu was a special case. One was that the Qin and Liu families were already in decline, and the other was that Li Zhuiyuan’s lamp was burning itself, completely without defense.

In the past, it would have been impossible for a direct descendant of the Qin or Liu Dragon King family to appear and bid farewell to others and follow them in Jianghu. It would simply be a shame to their ancestors.

Of course, although it is said that each family will control the number of people who walk in Jianghu in each generation, first selecting internally, and then choosing the most excellent one to walk in Jianghu, this is a perfect state.

In fact, the difference in strength between truly excellent descendants is often very difficult to judge. Sometimes, to ensure a higher success rate for this generation, they will also send out two or three more descendants to walk in Jianghu. Besides, it is still impossible to avoid those who are not convinced and light their own lamp to walk in Jianghu.

It’s just that if they really want to become a couple, and still light the lamp together and fight and compete on the river surface, it’s inevitably a bit too extreme and exciting.

Therefore, although the old lady is the most honorable direct descendant and eldest daughter of the Liu family, she did not light the lamp and walk in Jianghu.

Tan Wenbin: "Grandpa Qin really has good means. He used love to eliminate a powerful competitor for himself in advance."

Before, he hadn’t seen the old lady make a move. After all, for general matters, he would just send either Uncle Qin or Aunt Liu, for example, to exterminate an official general’s head temple.

But today, he indirectly saw the old lady’s handwriting. With such an existence, if she had lit the lamp and walked in Jianghu when she was young, she would definitely have been a strong competitor for the Dragon King.

Lin Shuyou whispered a reminder: "Brother Bin, you must never say this back..."

Tan Wenbin was amused and laughed: "I’ll say it when I go back, I’ll say it to the old lady’s face."

"Ah?"

"Don’t worry, hearing this, the old lady will not only not be angry, but will be very happy instead."

"How can that be..."

"In the eyes of truly loving people, every bit of effort they make is sweet."

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly stopped.

Runsheng, who was walking in front, immediately stopped as well.

Lin Shuyou relaxed his shoulders. Tan Wenbin naturally slid down from his back and sat on the ground, collectively entering a defensive state.

The team’s tacit understanding was such that sometimes there was no need to notify. Everyone knew what to do at what time.

Li Zhuiyuan squatted down, reached out and patted the grass in front of him, then pinched up a root of black ink line with his fingertip.

"Brother Runsheng, dig a little."

"Okay."

Runsheng picked up his shovel and dug a few times. Some array materials that had been deliberately buried appeared below.

Although the array had been destroyed, Li Zhuiyuan could roughly speculate that it was a probing array from these waste materials.

Using a small array to probe a large array.

Li Zhuiyuan looked up and around. In the southwest direction, he discovered a trace of a sect array. It was obvious that there was a hidden Taoist temple in the deeper part.

Qingcheng Mountain is a place with spiritual energy and is also a blessed land of Taoism. From ancient times to the present, countless views have been built and inheritances have been established here.

Here, as long as your array attainments are high enough, you can almost probe into a hidden secret Taoist temple as long as you walk around more. It’s just that most of them will not have as many people as Seven Star View. Some may only have two or three people, or even a single transmission per generation.

Otherwise, why would there be so many stories about old Taoist priests descending the mountain to seek disciples?

Li Zhuiyuan: "Someone is staring at the target and has taken steps in advance here. They should be making a move soon."

Tan Wenbin: "Then are there really other teams joining in this time to walk in Jianghu?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It should be. Internal contradictions and slaughter should rarely occur here, because there is no conflict of interest."

Everyone chose to be hidden from the world, just not planning to ask for believers’ incense offerings.

Li Zhuiyuan: "However, it seems he encountered some trouble. It should be that all other teams will encounter this trouble. That’s because what happened at Seven Star View was too shocking to the hidden Taoist temples in the Qingcheng Mountain boundary, causing them to modify or move their sect arrays in the near future, or at least repair and adjust them.

This just increases the difficulty for other teams to attack their target Taoist temples."

Not every team has an array master. For the vast majority of teams, just the array, this road block, is enough to make them very headache, and they have to pay a huge price.

At least, sneak attacks become almost impossible. They can only engage in frontal confrontation.

Tan Wenbin: "Hey, the difficulty is reduced on our side, and the difficulty is increased for other teams. Adding the two together, we’ve made a big profit this time."

Their team’s strength was already a bit over the standard. At the Seal Demon Assembly five days later, all the members of their team were in their peak state, while other teams were all in a sorry state.

Tsk tsk... this feeling is quite enjoyable.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Ayou."

"Here!"

"Work harder. Stay in the mountain for the next few days, pay attention to observing and recording movements. It’s best to get a clear picture of the situation of several teams. Remember, do not participate."

"Understood!"

Although he couldn’t see the giant pandas for the time being, Lin Shuyou liked this feeling of being able to execute a task by himself.

If Tan Wenbin’s body was normal, he would actually be the most suitable person. Because Zhuangzhuang can not only observe and record... but even actively integrate.

But Tan Wenbin’s condition, although it doesn’t affect his combat power, is not suitable for acting alone. Lin Shuyou has vertical pupils and can observe better. Furthermore, he also has the child in his body to remind him.

Runsheng took the wheelchair and carried Tan Wenbin on his back.

Tan Wenbin looked with some disdain at the quarter of the sweeping old Taoist on the shoulder of the "next door":

"Find a bag to wrap him up. We can’t just carry him back to the guesthouse like this, can we?"

Runsheng: "The fertilizer bags are in the car. I’ll wrap them up when we get in the car."

Tan Wenbin: "It’s hot now, and the meat spoils easily. Think about how to store it. Where can we get a small fridge for emergencies?"

Runsheng: "Put it in your room."

Tan Wenbin: "Very good."

After arriving at the pickup location, Runsheng wrapped the piece of old Taoist with a fertilizer bag and pasted a seal ban symbol on top.

It was almost dusk when they returned to the guesthouse. The driving distance itself wasn’t far, mainly the mountain road took quite a while to walk.

Just as they entered the guesthouse, they saw Wu Xin sitting on the long bench next to the front desk.

Wu Xin looked down at the mud on their boots and asked: "Did you go into the mountain?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm, went to gather medicine."

After all, he was here as an intern. He reported yesterday, and today he went traveling in the mountain. It was obviously inappropriate.

Wu Xin was very moved and repeatedly said "hard". Then he looked at Tan Wenbin, who was being carried by Runsheng, and asked: "What happened to him?"

Tan Wenbin: "Fell and broke his leg while gathering medicine."

Wu Xin: "I’ll send you to the hospital!"

Tan Wenbin: "No need, we have a secret recipe."

Wu Xin took a deep breath and nodded. He now truly believed that the people sent by the higher-ups this time seemed to have something.

He didn’t believe anyone would dare to joke about their own injuries.

Then, Wu Xin pointed at the fertilizer bag on Runsheng’s shoulder: "Are those herbs inside?"

Runsheng: "Hmm."

Wu Xin: "Need so many..."

Runsheng: "Not durable, used up all at once."

Wu Xin: "Alright, that’s right, I know herbs need to be pounded and boiled. How about this, if you need it again, I’ll mobilize the people in our unit and go up the mountain to help you gather them. Is that alright?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "No need. Did you bring the things?"

"Brought." Wu Xin handed a bag to Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Come pick me up tomorrow noon to go to the hospital."

"Okay." Wu Xin pointed outside, "Shall we have dinner together? My attitude wasn’t good enough yesterday, and I didn’t entertain you thoroughly."

Li Zhuiyuan: "No need, I need to look at the materials."

Wu Xin: "Alright, when they get better, I’ll invite you again... to Chengdu, a good reward!"

After leaving the guesthouse and sitting on his three-wheeled motorcycle, Wu Xin looked around a bit doubtfully.

He felt that something seemed a little strange, but he couldn’t figure out where the strange point was.

Forget it, he should go back to the unit first.

After returning to the room, Li Zhuiyuan first took a bath, then sat on the bed and took out the file.

He didn’t look at it right away, but first closed his eyes and reproduced the scene inside Seven Star View in his mind.

The old lady had two regrets about him. One was that she couldn’t give him the good things from home, leaving him to almost start Jianghu empty-handed; the other was that she couldn’t teach him in person.

Indeed, the new version of "Liu family Wang Qi Jue" was still taught to the old lady by himself, but Li Zhuiyuan was not so naive as to think that his IQ could compare to someone’s entire life of accumulation. Moreover, the old lady herself was a living fossil who had witnessed the peak of the Dragon King family courtyard.

"So, is the old lady using this opportunity to let me see what the true way of feng shui is?"

...

The mountain was a bit cool at night.

Lin Shuyou lay on a tree branch. With a *crack*, he opened a can of Jianlibao and drank it alone under the moon.

He didn’t need to look around, after all, the movement of breaking the array when truly making a move would be enough for him to perceive.

Being here alone was not boring either. Anyway, he had "people" to accompany him.

Lin Shuyou’s eyes alternated between vertical pupils and normal eyes, constantly switching, chatting with the child about childhood.

*Buzz!*

Just at this moment, a violent array fluctuation was transmitted.

Lin Shuyou immediately took out his pen and notebook, slid down from the tree, and quickly approached that direction.

After arriving at the specific location, Lin Shuyou immediately hid. His vertical pupils opened, and everything under the night curtain was nowhere to hide.

Including the bird that was hovering abnormally in the air, it was also captured by him, and that bird didn’t even discover him below.

There were five people, breaking the array.

Moreover, their efficiency was very high. At this moment, the array had already shown a gap. Four people quickly rushed in, and only one person slowly fell behind.

At this time, that person seemed to sense something. His body stopped, he turned around, and began to look around behind him.

Lin Shuyou saw his face, and emotional fluctuations appeared in his vertical pupils.

Ayou had a very good temper and was very warm and sunny towards everyone, but there was only one person that Ayou felt extremely bad about.

And that person was standing there at this moment.

"Three Eyes..."
