Chapter 575
A yellow pickup truck is driving on the road.
In the back of the car, a child first poked his head out, and then a dog's head slowly peeked out from beside the child.
The last time Benben ventured into the world was when he was still an infant.
This was his first long trip since he learned to walk.
Although I have been to the city and even to Baijia Town in Jiangdi, in my simple perception, as long as I haven't left Nantong, I haven't left the peach orchard in front of my home.
There was a small coal stove in the carriage, where Runsheng was decocting medicine.
On ordinary days, Xiao Hei will eat other things, but its staple food has always been tonics.
Yin Meng sat opposite, holding a lit "cigar" between her fingers.
After Runsheng returned to normal, Aunt Liu stopped making this fragrance. When Yinmeng came back, she had to restart the production line.
He cherishes his own apprentice, and Yinmeng's cigars are more refined and have a richer flavor than Runsheng's in the past.
Previously, in Grandpa Shan's new house in Xiting Town, Yin Meng was seen smoking a cigar by a passing villager. After that, gossip started circulating in the village, saying that Runsheng Hou had brought back a Sichuan woman who did no housework and only knew how to smoke and play mahjong all day.
The main reason is that Uncle Shan's reputation in the village is much lower than Li Sanjiang's in Siyuan Village. If a poor man suddenly rises to prominence and gets married, it is easy to arouse the envy of the villagers.
When these words reached Old Man Shan's ears, he was so angry that he went to find those who made up the rumors. But as an old bachelor, he was no match for a group of old women. Not only did he fail to win the argument, but he also ended up feeling very frustrated.
When Yin Meng learned about this, she didn't take it to heart at all, treating it as just a joke.
She has left the underworld, but her official position has not been revoked, and even her official robes are still stored in her wardrobe.
Those old women can go ahead and chew on it; if they chew too much, they'll get into too much karma, and they might end up in the tongue-pulling hell after they die.
"Here, have a bite too."
Runsheng shook his head.
Yin Meng took a deep breath and exhaled into Runsheng's face.
It smells nice, refreshing, and has a hint of mint.
Sitting in the car, Lin Shuyou turned around, saw the scene in the back of the car through the small window, and smiled.
Yin Meng blushed at first, then glared at Ayou.
Ah You had no choice but to turn his head back and whisper:
"It seems like Mengmeng's temper is worse than before since she came back."
While looking at the map, Tan Wenbin said, "He has a girlfriend to back him up."
Ayou: "I have one too."
Tan Wenbin: "Have you ever put your arm around the waist of your blind date?"
Li Zhuiyuan and A Li leaned their heads together, with the dragon-patterned compass placed on their laps, and the evil dragon spinning inside.
The boy pressed a button, and the girl pressed one as well.
The complex and mysterious Bagua feng shui array was used by the two of them as a game of Ludo to pass the time on their journey.
Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan, we've arrived in Luoyang."
As you drive into Luoyang, construction sites are everywhere. This historic city is beginning its transformation. Of course, what is changing is its new look, while its rich heritage is being preserved.
The car stopped in front of the soup restaurant.
It was the same shop where I first met Chen Xiyuan in real life.
As the group entered the shop, the shop owner was taken aback at first, but then recognized them.
It's hard not to remember that Chen Xiyuan and Runsheng had a food-eating contest here, and they ate all the food out of the restaurant.
Tan Wenbin ordered a bowl of meat soup for everyone, with meat, meatballs and shredded pancakes added.
Seeing that the order was so subtle, the shop owner's eyes showed a little disappointment, but he immediately took out his cigarette case and shared a cigarette with Tan Wenbin before chatting with him with a smile. No matter what, if out-of-towners come back and still choose his soup shop for soup, it is a kind of recognition.
Yin Meng was holding a mobile phone and chatting with Chen Xiyuan.
Chen Xiyuan: Are you still on your way?
Yin Meng: "Yeah, I just stopped and was about to get something to eat."
Chen Xiyuan: "Remember to eat well. Eating is the most important thing. Don't settle for anything if you can avoid it. Don't starve yourself, or your new clothes won't fit."
Lin Shuyou: "Boss, seven bottles of Haibi, please!"
Chen Xiyuan: "Haibi? Ahhh, you...you're drinking meat soup!!"
After the meal, Li Zhuiyuan took A Li's hand and walked into an alley near the store.
Many of the massage parlors on both sides were closed.
First, it's only been a short time since the Lunar New Year, and many businesses haven't resumed operations yet; second, winter is the off-season, and chicks are afraid of the cold and easily freeze and shrink into their nests, making them difficult to wake up.
Inside the open shop, there were women dressed in trendy clothes and with dyed hair sitting inside smoking, and others sitting on sofas quietly knitting sweaters, creating a homey atmosphere.
Occasionally, someone would recognize the handsome young man and look at him with a puzzled expression. Li Zhuiyuan would nod and smile in response. When he carried Chen Xiyuan back, many of the older women had helped him.
After passing through the alley, the space suddenly opened up.
Many women still sit in front of the small window of Yao's Tailor Shop.
Grandma Yao still enjoys working here, mending clothes for people, just like before.
Pulling off the thread, Grandma Yao looked up and saw a boy and a girl appear behind the crowd in front of her.
She immediately stood up, a genuine and excited smile on her face.
Li Zhuiyuan and A Li went upstairs to Yaoji Hotel. Grandma Yao personally brewed tea and instructed her daughter-in-law to bring a fruit platter.
The young man took a sip of tea, peeled two peanuts for himself and Ah Li, answered questions like "How is the young lady?", then stood up and said:
"Please take care of your health. When you have time, please visit Nantong and have a chat with your grandmother."
"well."
Li Zhuiyuan and A Li left, and Grandma Yao led her daughter-in-law to the stairwell. On the way, she regretted that her son had gone out to book a bed and that her two grandsons were at school, so she hadn't been able to take good care of them.
Grandma Yao paused briefly, watching the young girl's retreating figure as she wiped away her tears.
Daughter-in-law: "Mom, why didn't you invite us to stay for dinner?"
"If someone comes to sit down for a while, it means they consider me family. I should know my place."
Grandma Yao immediately smiled again. Seeing Miss A-Li go out made her feel as if she had seen the young lady of the past again.
We set off again and arrived outside the barrier of Yujia Village.
Even though the barrier was useless to Li Zhuiyuan, the young man still got out of the carriage first and waited, letting Tan Wenbin go to deliver the visiting card.
Although the Yu Family Village is no longer the Dragon King's former residence, it still inherits the legacy of the Dragon King Yu. Etiquette is useless when it comes to currying favor; it only shows its value once the person leaves.
The wait was a bit long.
Tan Wenbin turned back and indicated that we could go in.
When Li Zhuiyuan stepped into the barrier, he saw that Grandpa, along with Lion Lord, Leopard Lord, and other village leaders, were all standing at the village entrance waiting for him.
The old man prepared to lead the way in kneeling in worship; to this village, the young man before him was a true benefactor.
Li Zhuiyuan stepped forward and performed the Qin Liu Gate Ceremony.
The old man, who was kneeling halfway, quickly emerged two novice hands from his clothes to support himself, and then two more legs grew out, forcibly shifting himself to the side, not daring to accept the full curtsy.
After the boy finished bowing, a man stepped forward to represent the entire village in returning the bow to the Yu family.
After the ceremony, the man immediately looked at Lin Shuyou and waved his arm dramatically, to which Lin Shuyou responded with the same force.
The two rushed over, embraced, and patted each other on the back.
Lin Shuyou: "Yu Da!"
Yu Da: "Ouch!"
This is Ayou's good friend.
Back in the Yu family ancestral home, Yu Da and his group were raised like livestock. It was after Ayou talked to them that he told Yu Da the way to leave, which allowed them to successfully escape the ancestral home and be picked up by the Lion King outside and return to the village.
Li Zhuiyuan was welcomed into the village. He first went into the ancestral hall to offer incense to the Dragon King tablets of the Yu family. Then, at his grandfather's invitation, he took A Li and Tan Wenbin to the bamboo house next door and took their seats.
The grandfather at the table removed his outer garments, revealing his female body. Knowing that the young man did not like to be disturbed, she served the dishes and poured the wine by herself throughout the meal.
Since its true form is a spider demon with many limbs, it was able to handle the situation with ease.
Tan Wenbin was responsible for chatting with the old man and listening to him describe the current state of development in the village.
After the last wave, families in Nantong improved their living conditions and were able to provide support to other regions.
Grandpa wasn't blinded by joy; he showed some trepidation. The village was weak in the martial arts world, and accepting too many good things rashly might attract unwanted attention.
"It's alright. The Yu family's ancestral home at the foot of Beiman Mountain is right next door. It's just that the gate is sealed off, not that it's completely deserted. You have someone protecting you."
Furthermore, let me make this clear beforehand: I, Qin Liu, do not need the Yu family as vassals. That would be a grave disrespect to our ancestors, the Dragon King. Any support I offer is only out of consideration for my brother Xiao Yuan's friendship with Yu Dibei; friends share resources and obligations.
"Thank you very much, Lord Tan. The Yu family will never forget this kindness!"
Li Zhuiyuan sat by the window, holding a cup of homemade juice from the village, watching Benben happily playing in the village on his little black bike.
On the next floor, Lion and Leopard each held a cup of insect tea and were gazing into the distance in the same way.
Lion: "That child is extraordinary. You can smell the abundant spiritual energy emanating from him from a great distance."
Leopard: "That black dog is no ordinary dog either."
Lion: "Hmm, such a purebred black dog is hard to find in the world these days. Moreover, it is well-fed and has a lot of vitality. It must have been raised with tonics. Heh, it is also a virgin dog, so its vitality is even more vigorous."
Leopard: "Bloodline is secondary; what's important is that the dog has the aura of life and death about it."
Lion: "I'm old, my nose isn't what it used to be, are you sure?"
Leopard: "Confirmed."
Lion: "The Five Black Dogs are inherently a species that wards off evil spirits and protects the home. An ancient saying goes that a dog that is buried and then born is a species of extraordinary destiny. The origin of this black dog is actually so great?"
Leopard Lord: "If he weren't big enough, why would that person have assigned him to such a prodigy?"
Lion: "You mean, this is a plan..."
Leopard Lord: "What, do you think they shouldn't have stolen my Yu family's inheritance?"
Lion Lord: "I'm not that old and deaf yet. If Qin Liu's next generation also adopts the companion demon beast of my Yu family, it would be a great thing for the future of my Yu family!"
Benben thinks this place is really interesting; all the animals are like people.
Little Black was quite surprised. It could look down on the ignorant animals in the village, but here, it was suddenly blended into the crowd.
Whenever Benben spends too much time with any animal, it immediately carries Benben away at breakneck speed, as if afraid that Benben will lead that animal home. It already has no doghouse in its old home, and it can't lose its place in its new home either.
Benben pulled on the reins, stopping Xiaohei. He found a green hillside, hugged Xiaohei's head, stroked it, and breathed on its nose, gradually calming Xiaohei's anxiety.
Below, two members of the Yu family walked by, one with a bird perched on his shoulder and the other with a fox perched on his neck.
The bird flapped its wings toward the hillside, and the fox turned its head and winked.
The two members of the Yu family stopped and bowed to Benben on the slope, their two demonic beasts also reverting to their beastly forms and moving in sync.
Benben stood up and returned the greeting in a very formal manner.
No one in his family had taught him this, and Benben had never formally learned it; he was imitating his older brother's previous actions.
Little Black also stood up, wagging its tail, feeling more and more like a stupid dog in comparison.
Those two members of the Yu family left; such a pairing is common in this village.
Benben looked at Xiaohei, and Xiaohei looked at Benben; hope shone in the eyes of the child and the dog.
Li Zhuiyuan looked away, finished the juice in his glass, and placed it on the table.
Tan Wenbin: "Once I'm ready on my end, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to the village."
Grandpa: "How could I trouble you..."
Tan Wenbin: "It might not be safe on the road."
Grandpa: "Lord Tan is very thoughtful."
Tan Wenbin stood up and said goodbye to Ah Gong.
We left the bamboo house and headed out of the village.
Benben rode Little Black to catch up; Runsheng and Yinmeng returned from their walk by the river; Lin Shuyou waved goodbye to Yu Da, and the Three Squirrels brought them fruit wine.
Tan Wenbin: "Have you been drinking?"
Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, this is just a drink."
Tan Wenbin: "Heh, I'll tell the other teams."
Lin Shuyou: "..."
After leaving the village, Tan Wenbin drove the car, taking everyone to the foot of Beiman Mountain.
Li Zhuiyuan offered incense at the graves of Xu Fengzhi and the fairy maiden.
This was something Grandma Liu had specifically instructed me to do before I left home.
There were other traces of incense and ash in front of the grave, indicating that Xu Mofan and Zhu Yiwen had also come to offer incense not long ago. Their most respected elders were buried here.
Tan Wenbin put his arm around Benben and told him the story of what had happened in the Yu family.
The smile that Benben had brought from Yujia Village slowly faded from his face, replaced by a deep sense of terror.
Li Zhuiyuan did not want Benben to follow the path of the Yu family.
However, the feelings formed since childhood are the hardest to sever. Moreover, when Li Zhuiyuan was recovering from his injuries recently, he also did some work on the inheritance and made some additions to the basement of his great-grandfather's house, including the Yu family's original techniques and the method of controlling beasts.
If Li Zhuiyuan had simply issued a warning, it might have sparked an even stronger curiosity in a gifted child.
Most importantly, dogs have a much shorter lifespan than humans. As Benben grows up and witnesses Xiao Hei growing old and dying, he knows how to handle the situation and finds it hard to stand idly by.
After hearing the story, back in the carriage, Benben sat in the corner with Xiao Hei in his arms, remaining quiet for a long time during the rest of the journey. It's cruel to make a child think about this so early, but in the past, the Yu family members all chose to be born with a companion monster at a young age.
As they approached the Liu family's ancestral home, the car stopped, and the group set up tents, made a fire, cooked, and rested.
Unlike the Qin family's ancestral home, which is located atop the Qinling Mountains, the Liu family's ancestral home is actually situated deep within a lake.
Xiao Hei was put back in its saddle, and Benben carried its little backpack, which contained their supplies.
The child and dog emerged from their low spirits and resumed playing, happily circling the pot.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't ask Benben what choice he had made. The reason for bringing the child out and making a special stopover in Luoyang was not to get a definite answer, but to let Benben see for himself the cost of his choice.
You can grant Xiao Hei a longer lifespan, but you must take its life yourself before your own lifespan ends.
There was no room for luck; Yu Tiannan's dog was incredibly loyal back then, remaining loyal even in its final moments.
After the meal, the group walked a distance through the dense forest and came to a small river.
Li Zhuiyuan took out the key and gave it a gentle shake.
On both banks of the river, several ancient trees have fallen down, their vines intertwined and arranged to form rafts.
Li Zhuiyuan gestured for everyone to board the raft, and then the raft floated downstream, passing through layers of mazes and barriers without hindrance.
Lin Shuyou: "Does the Liu family have to cut down trees every time they enter or leave their ancestral home?"
Yin Meng: "In that case, this forest won't last many years before it's been cleared out, right?"
Lin Shuyou: "So you probably plant trees on a regular basis, right?"
Yin Meng: "I think so too. Maybe there will be a special family tree planting day."
Tan Wenbin couldn't listen anymore and said, "There's another way to get in and out normally. Brother Xiaoyuan is making things easier for us all."
Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng both looked a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment disappeared after they looked at each other.
It's so nice to have someone to rely on when you're being silly in a team.
As the river flows into the lake, a whirlpool forms in the center. This seemingly terrifying scene gives one an extremely gentle feeling, not one of engulfment, but of acceptance.
Once the raft smoothly entered the whirlpool, the lake returned to calm.
At this moment, the true face of the Liu family's ancestral home was finally revealed to everyone.
Above, there is a lake, seemingly hanging upside down in the sky, where the sun, moon, and stars change in countless ways. In addition, there are streams flowing into the lake, giving it the appearance of a vast ocean that embraces all rivers.
This is the foundation of the Liu family. Compared to the Yu family's ancestral home, which used mechanical arts to create the alternation of the sun and moon at the foot of Beiman Mountain, the Liu family ancestors created a "sky" above their own ancestral home.
Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but calculate how many years it would take Zhao Yi to replicate such a nameplate if he could provide enough building materials and let Zhao Yi be the contractor.
As the raft descends from above, one can overlook the entire Liu family ancestral home complex.
If the Qin family ancestral home is the epitome of antiquity and majesty, then the Liu family ancestral home can be called the epitome of landscape and literary elegance.
Enveloped in ethereal mist, bathed in rosy light, the mountains, waters, and pavilions create a picturesque scene, resembling a classical ink painting. Even from above, one can only appreciate it for a moment, for it... is in motion.
It's as if there are immortals here, standing here, wielding their brushes to paint and displaying their talents.
Benben opened his eyes wide, then unconsciously raised his hands and began to grab downwards.
Li Zhuiyuan tapped Benben on the head, interrupting Benben's comprehension of the principles of feng shui.
For Benben right now, trying to understand this ancestral home of the Liu family is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—it will only lead to his own disorientation and collapse.
This also highlights Benben's talent; through learning formations, he gained enlightenment in feng shui.
Tan Wenbin: "Ah You, if you had to choose between staying at the Liu family's or the Qin family's, which would you choose?"
Lin Shuyou: "The Liu family."
Runsheng: "The Liu family."
Even Runsheng chose the Liu family.
Lin Shuyou: "So, the old lady living in the Qin family's house is also..."
Tan Wenbin: "Not necessarily. Even if you've lived in a beautiful place since you were a child, the feeling is different. It's like how I feel that there's nothing fun to do in Nantong."
Yin Meng: "This doesn't seem to have much to do with whether or not we beat Xiao Zhu?"
The raft drifted downstream at an angle, when suddenly the sea of clouds below surged and rose vertically, like a giant white python, rushing straight toward the raft.
This is an evil spirit in the Liu family's ancestral home, and judging from its power, it must be one of the four major evil spirits in the ancestral home.
Li Zhuiyuan used the ancestral house key to enter through the main gate, which was tantamount to notifying the evil spirits inside the ancestral house in advance that he had arrived.
This was the welcoming ceremony given to him by the evil spirits in the Liu family's ancestral home, which could also be called a show of force!
They had told Aunt Liu themselves that if they didn't have the appearance of a dragon king, they would swallow her without hesitation.
Li Zhuiyuan raised his right hand, and the evil dragon flew out.
Compared to the giant python formed from the sea of clouds, Li Zhuiyuan's dragon spirit was like a drop of ink on a large sheet of white paper.
But as the boy instantly raised his soul frequency to its limit, creating a feng shui resonance with the lake above, and then used whatever was available to grab it and pull it down, the evil dragon's body instantly enlarged.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the evil dragon charged forward and engaged the giant python in fierce combat.
Both sides are using feng shui techniques and taking advantage of the terrain, which is equivalent to playing chess on the same board.
Evil spirits have long lifespans, which is very unfair, but as long as the evil spirit's true form remains unchanged, it is the greatest fairness for the boy.
Even when enlarged, the evil dragon was only one-tenth the size of the giant python. However, during their battle, the evil dragon repeatedly charged into the enemy's formation, and the giant python was never able to strangle it.
One after another, "gazes" rose from within the Liu family's ancestral home. All the suppressed evil spirits were witnessing this confrontation and scrutinizing the Liu family patriarch.
A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a white dress and with a voluptuous figure, sat cross-legged on the upper floor of the pavilion, her hands moving in a gesture. From beneath her skirt, snakes descended into a deep pool.
A voice came from the northwest corner: "Not bad, really not bad, to be able to contend with Bai Gu Yun Hai!"
If someone is the head of the Liu family, and his knowledge of feng shui is inadequate, then what right does he have to hold the position?
Clearly, they were very satisfied with Li Zhuiyuan's performance. Their criteria for judging him were not ordinary geniuses of the Liu family, but the Dragon Kings of the Liu family throughout the ages.
A thought from the southeast corner conveyed: "His age is not faked; it is exactly as his face suggests."
"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh rang out, "Gentlemen, he did not practice martial arts. As the head of the Qin family, he did not practice martial arts when he went to Jiangdu!"
After a brief silence, two more bursts of laughter rang out:
"Hahahahahaha!"
Their voices quickly spread throughout the ancestral home, causing a brief silence before the evil spirits inside burst into laughter.
The head of the Qin family who doesn't practice martial arts after lighting the lamp is simply unheard of, a ridiculous farce.
Compared to Li Zhuiyuan's feng shui skills, this point made the evil spirits of the Liu family even happier and more satisfied. Some of them were already eager to spend a hundred years sending a message to the Qin family to inquire about the reason.
“Mei is right. She has chosen a good head of the Liu family.”
"The true bearing of a Dragon King, truly deserving of the title!"
"That's enough, Aunt Bai. The test of feng shui can be stopped now. He has passed the test."
"Well, there's no need to continue. We've seen and acknowledged his abilities in this regard."
"Bai Gu, why don't you say a word?"
The other three great evil spirits realized that Bai Gu, who was controlling the battle in the sea of clouds, had not spoken or sent out a single thought.
above.
The phantom of the young lord's python robe appeared on Li Zhuiyuan's body, and the evil dragon that was fighting with the giant python immediately burst into flames.
The evil dragon was in great pain. Although it wasn't enough to injure its body, it was being burned. However, compared to this pain, it was even more unwilling to give up!
The karmic fire spread continuously as the evil dragon moved through the area, and even the giant python was ignited by the fire, seemingly defiling its color.
A lotus mark appeared between Li Zhuiyuan's eyebrows.
The ferocious dragon instantly revealed the solemnity of a Buddhist guardian beast, and with continuous collisions, the giant python's body continued to crack.
If it were an ordinary opponent, the victory would have been assured. However, as the sea of clouds below surged up and replenished the area, the giant python, which should have collapsed, reformed.
The evil dragon continued its battle with him.
However, the giant python flicked its tail, as if indicating that the assessment was over and everyone could stop.
Li Zhuiyuan kept Grandma Liu's teachings in mind.
To deal with the evil spirits of the Liu family, you must be as arrogant as possible. The more arrogant and domineering you are, the more they will accept and like you.
During the fierce battle, the evil dragon roared downwards, relaying Li Zhuiyuan's voice:
"When I entered the Qin family, the evil spirits of the Qin family did not dare to cause trouble in front of my door. Yet the evil spirits of your Liu family dare to provoke me outside the gate. You have truly lost your manners and are extremely presumptuous!"
Bai Gu, standing in the deep pool pavilion of the ancestral home, suddenly focused her gaze.
The other three evil spirits were also astonished. They didn't have time to pay attention to the young man's arrogant words. They just couldn't believe that even Bai Gu couldn't be distracted when she was fighting, but this young man could actually transmit his voice through a device.
Li Zhuiyuan raised his left hand, and in his palm lay the key to the Liu family's ancestral home.
He borrowed the power of the lake and sky above his head, while the evil spirit that was fighting him was located inside the ancestral home, borrowing the power of the sea of clouds inside the house.
Now, the boy who holds the key to the ancestral home will strip the other party of their power.
This is not cheating, because even the Qin Liu ancestral home cannot suppress its own evil spirits. It's just that, compared to that other person, Li Zhuiyuan can multitask.
"Buzz!"
The massive tremor caused the sea of clouds to collapse, and the giant python immediately lost its "living water" supply. Under the fierce attack of the evil dragon, which carried karmic fire and a Buddha image, it quickly collapsed.
"Glug glug..."
The deep pool beneath Bai Gu turned red, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, staining her white dress crimson.
She lost.
As an ancient evil spirit of the Liu family, who had been immersed in the art of feng shui for countless years, he was defeated by a young man.
The boy who won this round did not stop there. Instead, he pressed down with his fingertips, controlling the evil dragon to rush down into that area inside the ancestral home!
The evil dragon opened its mouth and spoke the Buddha's words in place of the boy:
"You wicked child, do you know your sins!"
The Buddhist chanting resounded, dispelling evil spirits, and was directed at Bai Gu, while also cursing everyone in the ancestral home.
The evil dragon was extremely excited. With the blessing of this place, it vaguely regained the glory of its previous dragon body. However, at the same time, it was also very afraid, because the closer it got, the more it could sense the terrifying body lurking in the deep pool below.
This is no longer just an illusion of the sea of clouds. If the true form of this white giant python were to revive, it would be instantly devoured by the python, which is only a spirit.
Li Zhuiyuan was certainly aware of this, but he still chose to do it anyway.
To put it bluntly, his visit to the Liu family's ancestral home wasn't about risking his life, but rather more like a performance art piece to provide emotional support to his lonely and impoverished relatives.
That's exactly what they like!
Don't worry about them getting desperate and jumping over the wall to fight you in their true form. If they really would do that, they wouldn't have stayed in the Liu family for so many years.
Bai Gu looked up at the dragon spirit pressing down from above, her face filled with anger and resentment.
The evil dragon could already see the enormous, terrifying python's body writhing within the deep pool.
It had a premonition that in its previous life, before being dismembered by the frail and elderly Zhao Wuyang, it was nowhere near as large as this white python.
Intense fear fueled his excitement, and the evil dragon's eyes turned bloodshot as it gradually went mad.
Its ability to repeatedly revive its former senses signifies that it has undergone a transformation in this struggle against a powerful being. Right now, let alone daring to disobey the will of the one behind it, even if it could, it would not back down.
The dragon desires to transform into a dragon, and would die nine times over without regret!
"You beast, do you know your crime!"
The Buddha's voice, heard from a closer distance, questioned the water, causing ripples to spread across the pool.
Bai Gu's anger and resentment reached their peak, and she stood up.
"boom!"
The evil dragon's fear reached its peak, but it still continued to charge downwards. So what if it dies? It's not like it hasn't died before!
At this critical moment, the critical point was breached.
Bai Gu closed her eyes, her body trembled slightly, and the expression on her face melted away like snow melting in the spring breeze, revealing a sense of reminiscence and infatuation.
She knelt down, raised her hands, and presented a white leather whip:
"The White Serpent knows its crime; please punish it with whipping, Master!"
Not only was his demeanor humble, but even his tone of voice carried a sense of pity and tenderness, revealing a hidden expectation.
For this white python, anyone qualified to whip her is qualified to represent the Liu family and whip the martial world once again. She is being punished on behalf of the martial world!
"Bai Gu, how dare you..."
"Bai Gu, how could you..."
Li Zhuiyuan stopped.
As the feng shui blessing on the evil dragon was removed and its oppressive aura dissipated, its spiritual body rapidly shrank while returning to its original state. The excitement in its eyes gradually transformed into a sense of relief.
Back in that well in Jiujiang, Li Zhuiyuan gave the dragon skin to Zhao Yi, but kept the dragon spirit for himself.
The dragon skin has the greatest monetary value. Zhao Yigang was able to directly enhance his strength by fusing with it, and he continued to develop it further afterward.
If Li Zhuiyuan had the dragon skin, he could have used it on Runsheng, and the effect would have been excellent.
Even if the Jiaoling is continuously nourished, for a long time it can only be used by Li Zhuiyuan as an aid in casting spells and setting up formations. But without a doubt, the value of the Jiaoling is the greatest, because it represents a possibility, a possibility of transforming into a dragon.
The evil dragon returned to the boy's right hand. This time, Li Zhuiyuan felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his palm, which was truly an unexpected gain.
The raft docked.
Ahead are the walls and gates in the Hui-style architectural style.
Ah Li looked around. When she was little, her grandmother had brought her here for a short stay.
Li Zhuiyuan sighed silently to himself.
It was only because the evil spirits in the Qin family ancestral home were straightforward, and there was also that half-demon white tiger that had been terrified by Wei Zhengdao, that he was able to enter the Qin family ancestral home with great ease.
The evil spirits of the Liu family... have relatively high needs.
For example, right now, while he had already made one powerful evil spirit kneel and confess its sins, the other three terrifying evil spirits in the ancestral home were not showing recognition, fear, or submission, but rather three waves of intense jealousy and expectation, meaning:
They want it too!
