Chapter 117
The flames on the big fish rose up, as if a thick pillar of fire had been erected.
The fish's mouth kept showing bulges, but it remained tightly closed.
Yu Xuzi's struggle was exhausting, but Big Fish's resentment was endless.
It knows its end is predestined, but it can choose how it ends.
Those who are willing take the bait,
That's the final word on it.
As a fish, it certainly knows what it means to be caught on a fishhook and fished out of the water.
Just in its eyes,
Rather than being fused and enslaved by this guy, it would be better to invite the Dragon King to come over and give yourself a happy suicide.
After all, he is the orthodox descendant of the Liu family and the future Dragon King. Who do you think you are, a stinking Taoist priest who kills his brothers and destroys his disciples?
Yu Xuzi and his senior brothers were all admirers of the Dragon King of the Liu family. In fact, looking at it from another perspective, how could this big fish be the same?
It may have regretted that when it faced that terrifying woman, it tried so hard to escape for its life, suffering several bullets of pain in vain and making it unable to control itself.
After dormant and forbearing for three hundred years, at this moment, Big Fish had only one thought in his mind:
Let’s catch all the fish together!
Li Zhuiyuan was standing there, holding a newly opened can of Jianlibao in his hand.
The firelight shone on the young man's face, and he finally understood why the little fish released each had their own little thoughts. It turned out to be genetic.
This wave went easily, but also with luck.
The formations that the three seniors, Xue, Zeng, and Zheng, originally arranged for future generations, not only guarded against their masters, but also against themselves.
After all, this time is also thanks to the efforts of Binbin and Mengmeng.
Not only did he get the job done, but he also brought future generations with him.
If there is any problem or delay in any link, it will turn into a bloody battle in the end.
Runsheng, Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng were also looking at Li Zhuiyuan. The young man was still lamenting the dedication and efforts of his partners. As a result, when his partners looked at him, their eyes were full of magic.
From their perspective, the three of them have been acting together in a daze since they entered the sealed Zhengmen Village.
As a result, as the acting continued, Yu Xuzi came to the door himself, lying there motionless, begging to be beaten.
After all the fish scales were removed, even the soul was burned to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, it turned into a corpse demon and inexplicably attacked the formation he had just set up. As a result, he was punched to the ground by his own skeleton outside the formation.
Thinking that he had taken enough advantage, it was time to get serious and risk his life. However, after the young man said a few words, the big fish immediately turned back and swallowed the Taoist priest.
Looking at Li Zhuiyuan drinking there, a sentence from a high school Chinese textbook came to Tan Wenbin's mind: In the midst of talking and laughing, the boats and oars were turned into ashes.
At this moment, in a team, the leader and partners put filters on each other, which is considered a win-win situation.
The fire was finally extinguished.
What was left in front of him was a small mountain of ashes.
Li Zhuiyuan took out the seven-star hook from his backpack, stretched the hook, and began to dig through the ashes.
This is his enjoyment part.
Ah Li was still waiting for her at home, and she had to collect more handmade raw materials for her.
The harvest came soon, and a fish bone as clear as jade was pulled out.
You can take this back and make a "hosta" for Ali.
Li Zhuiyuan continued to search, wondering if he could get something more. It would be best to find the materials for his new bone ring next year.
But soon, the tip of the hook touched a hard mass, and there was a force that was pulling and fighting with itself.
Li Zhuiyuan decisively let go of his hand, and I'll give it to you if you want it.
Also sent out were Runsheng and Yinmeng.
Yin Meng waved the leather whip in her hand and struck that area. The ashes spread out, revealing Yu Xuzi inside.
At this time, the Taoist priest looked very miserable. Most of his body had been burned, leaving only the upper part of his chest and one arm.
Li Zhuiyuan thinks this is a very good image and shape, suitable for display in the showroom of the Academy of Fine Arts.
The Taoist priest's hand was still holding the tip of the seven-star hook, but there was no angry and sinister look on his face, but a look of confusion.
Runsheng stepped forward with a Yellow River shovel in hand and cut off his remaining arm with one shovel.
Just as he was about to attack his head, the Taoist Master said: "In addition to the stone tablet at the bottom of the river, I also left some notes in one place."
Runsheng stopped.
Logically speaking, this is not the time to stop and give the enemy a chance to speak again. In the gangster and Hong Kong movies he watched, the villain always paused at this time, which made him very angry every time.
But the problem is that the Taoist priest is exploding gold coins.
This feels like the Xiaobawang learning machine that Binbin borrowed from his classmates when he lived at Uncle Li's house.
The little man inside jumps up and down and "ding-ding-ding-ding".
Li Zhuiyuan walked towards the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest looked at the oncoming young man and said: "There is a study room on the second floor of the house where my senior brother died. There are some of my insights on formations in it. It is not well written. Please be gentle while reading. ”
Li Zhuiyuan nodded.
The Taoist Master asked: "Tell me, if I hadn't used that greed and joined forces with my senior brother to suppress the fish demon, would we have been able to meet the Dragon Prince of the Liu Family?
< br>
Do we both have a chance to worship the Dragon King?
Even if I don't get to see her, if I continue to cultivate my way and lead my group of disciples, I can still leave more stories in the world, right?
Alas,
I seem to regret it now. ”
Li Zhuiyuan: "You don't regret it, you just failed."
The Taoist priest stared at Li Zhuiyuan, the anger on his face reappearing.
He was about to die, and he originally thought that after sending his notes, he would get some last-minute care from the other party. Who knew, but the other party just changed his approach and continued to stab him in the heart.
"I also want to ask you something. Can you tell me why you want to fuse this monster?"
"Isn't this obvious? Do you still need to ask me?"
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "I just think it's not easy to be a human being."
Taoist priest: "Please do me one more favor."
Li Zhuiyuan silently took out a purple canvas from his pocket. Canvas is a consumable, but Ali has an unlimited supply from the ancestral hall.
After Li Zhuiyuan became a disciple of Qin Liu, he also thought about whether it would be disrespectful to use the tablets of his ancestors as utensils, but then he thought about it, maybe this could be regarded as the help given by his ancestors, and he did not dare to refuse it.
Taoist Master: "Take care of the descendants of my three disciples for me. I hope they can live a good life..."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Disgusting."
The young man spread the canvas and covered the Taoist priest's head.
"Zizzizizizi..."
Just like pouring a large bowl of water into a boiling oil pan, violent white gas rises from under the canvas.
"Ah.!!"
This is an extremely cruel torture against evil spirits.
The Taoist Priest is no longer a human being.
Even now, although he has lost his ability to fight back, his vitality is still strong.
Runsheng originally felt that Xiaoyuan was at a loss for using such a precious canvas to kill the Taoist priest. He could just chop it with a shovel, but strength was worthless anyway.
But as it burned, wisps of white smoke actually rose from several corners of the ashes.
Runsheng walked over and opened it with a shovel, and found small fish that were being cooked. They had been hiding here before, and judging from the traces of ashes inside, they were preparing to crawl out and hide in order to make a comeback.
Now, because of the canvas, it was all cleaned up in one pot.
"Ahhh!"
The black canvas gradually becomes thinner as it is consumed, allowing the wood flower scrolls inside to be revealed.
While the Taoist priest was screaming and wailing, he saw the inscription on one of the wooden flower scrolls: Liu Qingcheng.
He thought he was hallucinating, but after seeing the name, the picture of the place where his senior brother died immediately appeared in his mind.
In the scroll, a woman in green robe is facing the fish demon in the river.
Liu Qingcheng, this is her name.
Senior brother, I saw her...
Immediately, it fell completely into darkness.
After the reaction was over, Li Zhuiyuan took off the black canvas, and the Taoist priest had turned dark.
Runsheng poked the Taoist priest gently with a shovel, causing a piece of Yuxuzi to rise up.
"Brother Runsheng, help me go to the bottom of the river and touch the stone tablets; Brother Binbin, go and rub the contents on the stone tablets. Mengmeng, accompany me to the second floor."
The corner of Yinmeng's mouth curled up. This seemed to be the first time that Xiaoyuan called herself a double word.
Entering the courtyard again and looking at the corpses of Taoist Huangpao and his disciples, Li Zhuiyuan paused for a while, then entered the house and went upstairs.
There is a room on the second floor that does show signs of being used. The desk is near the window. Sitting behind the desk, you can see the yard by gently turning your head.
Come to think of it, Yu Xuzi has been sitting here for so many days and nights, writing while looking at the senior brother who was killed by him below.
Yinmeng also noticed this, she frowned and said: "I really don't understand what this kind of person thinks."
Li Zhuiyuan said while flipping through the book on the desk: "Understanding them is a waste of time."
"Brother Xiaoyuan, Jiayi is very nice. Can I continue to ask her to play with me after I return to Jinling?"
"Whoever you make friends with does not need my permission."
"I'm worried..."
"Don't worry."
"Okay."
"However, you can focus on whether there will be any changes in Zheng Jiayi after this incident, such as in personality and behavioral habits. Pay attention to it and let me know after a while."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Okay, find something to pack these booklets before you take them away."
"Okay, I'll put it in my bag."
Yinmeng packed up her hiking bag. The task was completed, and the next step was to return. Then the supplies inside could be thrown out to make room for more valuable books.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, do you want to put those books on the bookshelf in too?"
"No, those books are of no value."
"Then...can I sell it for money?"
"Barely considered an antique."
"Then I'll take them all with me. When I return to Jinling, I'll find a place to sell them and buy a pickup truck."
Runsheng's salvage and Tan Wenbin's rubbings were very efficient.
When the two returned from the river, they took some door panels from the village and made a wooden bed. They tied the six unconscious college students to it and Runsheng dragged them back with ropes.
The ground is bumpy and bumpy, but it's good to be able to rescue them, so don't think about any comfort.
They wanted to find a cart, but after so many years, the wheels had long since rotted away.
Li Zhuiyuan personally arranged a new formation. When the formation was activated, the barrier in front was distorted, and everyone walked through and came outside.
On the stone altar table, the offerings placed when I came in were already scattered all over the floor.
After all, the altar table had been separated before, and the corpse inside had also been removed.
"Brother Binbin, put away the offerings again; Mengmeng, wipe that stone tablet again."
The altar table was rearranged and the stone tablet was polished to give it a shiny texture.
People have many sides.
This sentence was literally implemented by Yu Xuzi.
His bones did not recognize him, nor did his disciples.
Therefore, this altar table and stone tablet are not placed for him, nor are they commemorating him. It is just that he was shameless and deliberately took the same name as others.
Li Zhuiyuan looked around, and Yu Xuzi said that the Dragon King of the Liu family had visited this place before.
This is also the reason why he arranged the sealing formation so strongly.
But that Dragon King,
Have you really been here?
"Are you out?"
Zheng Jiayi emerged from behind the big rock next to her, holding a bag of biscuits in her hand.
Yinmeng asked: "Where is Zeng Yinyin?"
Zheng Jiayi pointed back: "She's at the back." Zeng Yinyin was still tied up tightly.
Yin Meng: "I'll untie her legs and feet and let her walk by herself."
When passing by Li Zhuiyuan, Yinmeng heard the boy's command to "relax a little", and Yinmeng nodded.
Everyone came to the river, and the fog on the river was still thick.
This is the result of the influence of the formation. Ordinary people will get lost if they enter without authorization.
Because there were still six unconscious college students, everyone except Li Zhuiyuan went to look for some branches and grass balls nearby to add some buoyancy to the board.
At this moment, Zeng Yinyin suddenly broke free from the rope on her body and rushed into the river desperately.
Li Zhuiyuan just sat there, watching Zeng Yinyin run past him and jump into the river.
At first, while wading in the river, she looked back from time to time to see if anyone was chasing her.
Gradually, the fog blocked her view behind her. When she looked forward again, she found that she could not see the other side either.
Read the original text in Liu#9@书/吧!
She began to move forward relying on her previous sense of direction, but she didn't know how long she had walked. She was still surrounded by water. The water was not deep, only reaching her chest, but the river bank seemed to be out of reach.
She started shouting: "Fool, fool, fool!"
No one responded, no one showed up.
Probably,
Only a fool would continue to talk to her.
"Ah, she ran away!"
Zeng Yinyin's escape aroused only Zheng Jiayi's exclamation.
But after she finished her exclamation, she realized that everyone was doing what they were doing and no one responded.
After the simple raft was ready, Li Zhuiyuan took out his compass and prepared to lead the team himself.
But as soon as he entered the water, he saw a fool's figure appearing in the mist.
The fool waved his hands happily, jumping in the water and splashing.
Li Zhuiyuan put away the compass and said: "Let's go, the fool will lead the way."
Cross the river and go back.
As he walked, Li Zhuiyuan realized that this was not the way he came.
But looking at the fool who was picking wild flowers by the roadside and putting them on his head while running, Li Zhuiyuan didn't say anything and continued to follow him.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, with rocks everywhere and slopes everywhere. The six college students who were being hauled on the board now have bruises on their noses and faces.
Other minor injuries were ignored, but from time to time someone hit their nose on a board or hit a classmate on the back of their head, causing nosebleeds, and Tan Wenbin had to stop their bleeding.
Binbin rubbed the paper ball and said angrily: "Be good, be obedient, and go explore in the park next time. Don't go out and run around."
After stopping the bleeding, Tan Wenbin couldn't help but sigh: "The physical fitness of college students today is really not good."
In order to highlight his "kindness", Yu Xuzi unlocked the control for them early, and the little fish also left their bodies. But now, the six of them are still in a coma.
This made Binbin, who was used to sending Runsheng and Lin Shuyou to the infirmary, feel very uncomfortable.
Ahead, three hills appeared side by side.
Zheng Jiayi pointed excitedly and said: "My ancestral grave is right there, on the hillside on the far left!"
Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Whose family do the other two belong to?"
Zheng Jiayi thought for a while and replied: "The one in the middle belongs to the Xue family, and the one on the right belongs to the Zeng family."
Li Zhuiyuan nodded. It seemed that with the complete demise of Big Fish and Yu Xuzi, Min'an Town's formation also stopped operating and returned to normal.
The fool wearing a flower crown pointed in front of Li Zhuiyuan.
Li Zhuiyuan understood what he meant, but the young man still waved to him.
The fool obediently bent down and put his face in front of the young man.
Li Zhuiyuan looked into his eyes and asked curiously: "Who are you?"
The fool straightened up, danced and said: "I am the corpse collector, the corpse collector, the corpse collector!"
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "You are not."
The fool was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and shouted: "I am the village guard, the village guard, the village guard!"
Li Zhuiyuan did not continue to ask, but ordered:
"Mengmeng, you and Zheng Jiayi go to her ancestral grave;
Brother Binbin and Brother Runsheng, go to the ancestral graves of the Zeng family.
Bring incense and paper and say goodbye. ”
The four of them each took their things and walked towards the two hills respectively.
Li Zhuiyuan was about to walk towards the middle one, which was the Xue family's ancestral tomb.
The fool jumped up and followed.
Li Zhuiyuan stopped, looked back at him, and pointed at the six unconscious college students on the board.
"You stay here and watch them."
The fool looked aggrieved.
Then he quickly ran to the board, tiptoed to the middle of the six people, and stuck his butt out:
"Pfft~~~~!"
Li Zhuiyuan, who was standing in the distance, looked at the six college students and their hair was blown up.
Useless.
The six people actually opened their eyes one after another, sat up slowly one by one, and began to look at the surrounding environment with clear and confused eyes.
Li Zhuiyuan turned around and walked towards the hillside, and the fool followed him.
Because Dad Xue had just visited the grave not long ago, all the weeds here had been cleared.
The ancestral graves are arranged from top to bottom, with the higher the seniority being, the higher the position is, much like the arrangement of an offering table.
Generally speaking, when future generations worship, they only need to be at the bottom.
Li Zhuiyuan walked through other tombs and walked up until he came to the top tombstone.
The tombstone is old and obviously has a history, but the words on the tombstone should be re-painted by future generations every few decades.
The disciples of the third surname came here with their master, and later they went here anonymously to suppress the monsters.
Therefore, their ancestral tombs are all created by them.
Brother Liangliang’s ancestor is called...Xue Erwu.
Reminiscent of Yu Xuzi's words that he specially selected the three most stupid disciples with mediocre qualifications and brought them here.
Indeed, this name does not sound very smart.
Li Zhuiyuan lit the incense, stuck it on the ground, and lit the yellow paper. When the fool clapped his hands excitedly and was eager to try it, he simply handed it to him and asked him to burn it on the grave.
Immediately, Li Zhuiyuan took two steps back and stood beside Xue Erwu's tombstone.
He was given a formal ceremony as a member of the Liu family.
He was walking across the river now, and the cause and effect around him was complicated. If he worshiped directly, the dead people lying inside might not matter, but the living people left behind in the world might not be able to bear it.
The ceremony is over.
"Crack!"
The tombstone had a crack in the middle.
Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised: Are he so aggressive now?
But soon, Li Zhuiyuan discovered that it was not just the tombstone that had a problem. The earth behind the tombstone had collapsed, creating a pit.
When I walked to the pit, there was a completely faded coffin inside. The lid of the coffin was cracked in the middle and slid to both sides.
Inside the coffin lay the body of an old man.
Except for some dehydration, the body's voice and appearance are basically well preserved.
This is not surprising. One of the most basic requirements for finding caves in Feng Shui is that the body should be buried here so that it cannot be affected by moisture or washout, so that it can be best preserved.
They are members of Xuanmen and are good at formations. This is an auspicious point. It would be strange if they couldn't even preserve a corpse.
The old man folded his hands on his lower abdomen and placed a thin book on his chest.
Apart from this, there are no burial objects in the coffin, which makes it look very refreshing and simple.
Li Zhuiyuan jumped down into the pit, came to the coffin, reached out and took out the book.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about. This is what the ancestors of the Xue family showed up and took the initiative to show to themselves.
Li Zhuiyuan was also curious about what was in the book that made Xue Erwu open his coffin to show it to him.
The book is very thin. Although it has a cover, the actual content is only a few sheets of paper.
It's not a secret book, not a technique, not a formation diagram, it's more like a memory article.
He was buried with only this, which shows that the experience recorded in the article was the highlight and most precious of his life.
After reading it, Li Zhuiyuan had a smile on his face. He found it very interesting.
Yu Xuzi said that the Dragon King of the Liu family had come. Yes, the Dragon King of the Liu family had indeed come.
When she arrived, Yu Xuzi's three disciples were kneeling outside the formation, facing the altar table and stone tablet, mourning their master and crying bitterly.
The Dragon King is not a god, she cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
When Li Zhuiyuan first saw this formation, he felt that the only flaw of this formation was that it "only suppresses but does not grind". If he hadn't discovered after entering that Yu Xuzi was extremely accomplished in the formation, he would not have realized this formation. There is something wrong with the original intention of the law.
The same goes for the Liu Family Dragon King, who failed to see the problem. After all, the three apprentices were so stupid, so it was reasonable for the master to arrange such a crappy formation.
Moreover, this Liu Family Dragon King does not seem to be good at formations.
In short, she came and was so moved by Yu Xuzi's "fearless dedication and sacrifice" that she actually wanted to accept the three of them as registered disciples.
This is what their three masters dream of!
But the three of them refused this great opportunity on the grounds that they already had a master who had just sacrificed his life to defend the right path.
I have to say that these three apprentices are really upright and honest in character.
It can also be seen from this that Yu Xuzi's idea of choosing actors is very problematic. If you choose a few smart and lively people, they may stick with you for two or three years, and then they will feel that the love is enough, tired, and annoying. Yes, just slipped away.
But you chose the three most stupid and honest people. They really obeyed the master's orders and were obedient. Not only did they do it for their whole lives, but they also took measures to let future generations continue to protect the greatest master.
Although the disciples were rejected, the Dragon King of the Liu family was not angry and instead accepted them as his disciples, which was actually equivalent to slaves.
During the heyday of the Dragon King family, there were many people who volunteered to be their disciples or brought their family sects to serve as disciples for the sake of secrets, skills, favors, etc.
Here, it is a kind of flexibility that circumvents etiquette.
Under this kind of sect, I can ask you to do things and teach you things, but you are outside and cannot claim to be a member of the Liu family, nor can you reveal that you have learned anything from the Liu family.
The Dragon King of the Liu Family taught the three of them the "Liu Family's Qi-Wang Technique" and even gave them multiple sets of the Liu Family's secret formation techniques.
It can be seen from this that the Dragon King of the Liu family is indeed not good at formations, otherwise the disciples would not just hand out "textbooks".
It can only be said that if the orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange, and if it grows in Huaibei, it becomes orange.
These three disciples were stupid to Yu Xuzi, but relying on the Liu family's mental methods and secret scriptures, even if they were just three of them studying behind closed doors, they had achieved great results.
No wonder Yu Xuzi has been sealed inside for so many years and has never been able to defeat his disciples. Their levels are no longer the same.
Moreover, forty years after the master's death, the three disciples suddenly heard the news. They may have noticed that the master had changed and gradually figured out the master's true intentions.
But they did not choose to cooperate, but continued to arrange to suppress the master permanently.
First, because the "Master" in their hearts has long been the image on the stone tablet;
Secondly, perhaps a degenerated master would make them more happy to see him, so that they can identify themselves more as members of the Liu family in their hearts.
Look, when you die, you have to carry this experience or this identity with you in the coffin. This inner tendency is simply too obvious.
Li Zhuiyuan shook the book in his hand, smiled at the old man's body lying in the coffin and said:
"Okay, okay, I understand, you are a member of the Liu family just like me."
"Buzz!"
Green smoke rose from the three ancestral tombs on the three hills.
This time it was not Qingxia, because the glow was too fast and had no time to express itself.
The green smoke curled up, even though there was no wind blowing it, it made twists and turns as it rose into the air.
Moreover, the twists and turns were all pointing in the direction where Li Zhuiyuan was standing now.
Somehow,
There seemed to be three faint old voices coming from my ears:
"Xue (Zeng, Zheng), a disciple of the Liu family,
Meet the Dragon King! ”
