Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 172

“Duo…duoduo…duoduoduo…dadadadada!”

Tan Wenbin held the handle and turned it quickly to start the tractor.

After everyone got on, Tan Wenbin drove the tractor along the mountain road.

Behind us is the Miao village which fell into deep sleep after the celebration.

Li Zhuiyuan sat in the back of the car, looking up at the starry sky.

When they were almost reaching the lake, Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes, interrupting his own tranquility.

"be prepared."

Everyone began to check their equipment.

Xue Liangliang, who was sitting in the driver's seat with Tan Wenbin, took over the handle of the tractor and drove the last leg.

Arrived at the lake.

Li Zhuiyuan held a compass, confirmed the direction, and chose a place to enter the water and the direction to swim.

Runsheng squatted down and picked up the boy on his back, then jumped into the lake.

Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng followed closely behind.

After taking two puffs of the cigarette he had just lit, Tan Wenbin handed it to Xue Liangliang, and then jumped down as well.

Xue Liangliang stood there, finished smoking half a cigarette, started the tractor again and turned the car around.

In the car were some clothes and utensils they had left behind, as well as food and medicine. His job was to drive the tractor to a safe location far away and wait for them to return from shore.

Xue Liangliang knew that he didn't have the ability to help on the front line, so there was no need to cause trouble. He just did his best to handle the logistics.

After settling and covering the tractor, Xue Liangliang sat in the back of the truck, raised his head, and continued to admire the starry sky instead of Xiaoyuan.

Guizhou has extremely rich cultural and scenic resources. Once the issues here are resolved and the construction teams return to work, their mission will be accomplished.

Next, there will be a long period of free time and you don’t have to stay at the construction site.

Xue Liangliang took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket. He thought he could make a travel guide for Xiaoyuan and the others and take them on a good trip.

However, as I was working on this strategy, I suddenly felt bored.

It’s not that the mountains in Guizhou are not beautiful enough, but that the rivers in Nantong are more charming.

He felt that Xiaoyuan would prefer to hear him say:
Let’s go back to Nantong.

……

The lake water is very cold at night.

After entering the water, everyone swam towards the northwest of the lake.

The closer you get to that direction, the lower the water temperature.

When you dive deeper, you can even see a layer of white frost when the waterproof flashlight shines onto the bottom of the lake.

In the middle of the white frost, there was a dark hole, surrounded by large patches of black water plants.

Runsheng was the first one to approach the cave entrance, and these black water plants actively wrapped around him, trying to tie him up and drown him.

However, Runsheng was too strong. He preferred being underwater rather than on shore. After receiving instruction from Uncle Qin, he felt like a fish in water.

The aquatic plants were constantly broken, and the Yellow River shovel was like a sickle in Runsheng's hand. While harvesting madly, it also cleared the way for subsequent partners to follow up.

After waiting for a while and seeing that they had caught up, Runsheng swam into the cave.

The water flow in the cave is very turbulent. If ordinary people enter here, they will probably be washed away and lose their way.

Li Zhuiyuan put his left arm around Runsheng's neck and held a compass in his right hand.

The boy only needed to draw with his fingertips on the back of Runsheng's neck, and Runsheng would immediately understand and adjust the direction.

As I swam, a dark shadow appeared in front of me.

Li Zhuiyuan shone the flashlight over there and found rows of corpses. Due to the special environment, the corpses were well preserved and did not become like the one in the Giant Observatory.

The bodies included both male and female, but judging by their body sizes, more than half were children.

There are many children who, even after death, still hold the hands of their "father" or "mother".

The old woman mainly collects children. The adults here were probably pulled down in order to save their own children.

When the flashlight is shone downwards again, one can see that the dark shadows below have piled up into a small hill, but they are basically broken.

The corpses that can float to the top are relatively intact.

There were not many fresh corpses, and judging from their clothes, they were all old.

These were all the offerings that the old witch collected when she gave birth last time.

The destructive power of the evil disaster became concrete at this moment.

Li Zhuiyuan put away the compass, closed his eyes, and slowly lowered his right hand.

[The Twelve Laws of Fengdu—All ghosts are silent.]

It cannot be seen in reality, but from the perspective of walking in the shadows, one can see wisps of black lines constantly emerging from the boy's palms and rippling forward.

Li Zhuiyuan was trying to comfort "them".

Such a corpse that has been dead for a long time and imprisoned in a gloomy place can easily turn into a dead body after coming into contact with the breath of a living person.

Rather than facing such trouble underwater, it is better to appease "them" artificially first.

Before meeting the real owner, everyone can save as much energy as possible.

With the boy's comfort, the corpses were very quiet and everyone swam through "them".

Then, the space completely filled with water ended, and after floating up, an empty valley appeared and everyone went ashore.

After a quick rest, we continued on our way.

This is not an underground palace, it exudes a natural and primitive feeling.

As you walk, you can see the crystals in the cave, especially when you shine a flashlight on it, it reflects dazzling colors.

Tan Wenbin: "What a great place! It's really suitable for tourism development."

Lin Shuyou: "But Brother Bin, there is something dirty here."

Tan Wenbin: "We just need to clean up the dirt."

Lin Shuyou: "But don't tourists think it's unlucky to come here? After all, so many people have died here."

Tan Wenbin: "Aren't those mausoleum scenic spots also overcrowded with tourists during holidays?"

Lin Shuyou: “That makes sense.”

The road under my feet became wider and wider, and a relatively flat area appeared in front.

There are twelve grooves on the platform, eleven of which contain sarcophagi.

The shape of the sarcophagus was exactly the same as the one that the noblewoman who was killed on the construction site during the day was lying in.

At that time, Li Zhuiyuan suspected that the noble lady was dug out by the old witch from an ancient tomb nearby. Now it seems that he guessed wrong, and the noble lady was actually the "burial object" of the old witch.

Saint is actually a professional title under a belief system.

Historically, some saints could become the common faith of a large area around them, while some saints might only be revered in their own small villages.

The old changeling's predecessor must have been a saint of high status, otherwise, the people buried with her would not be so lavishly adorned with jewels.

However, nine of the remaining eleven coffins had been opened and were empty.

The two coffins that had not been opened were also tied with chains.

Those nine empty coffins should have been cleaned up by the Dragon King of the Zhao family when he came here.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that the chains that bound the coffin had been corroded and had lost their original function.

The young man pointed at them, and his companions understood and began to move closer to the two coffins.

The Dragon King came here in a casual manner, and after finishing the task and suppressing the enemy, he left in a leisurely manner.

That is the style of the Dragon King.

They are still far from the Dragon King level, and small teams have their own way of operating.

If you are too threatening, I will avoid you and just complete the main task. If your danger is controllable, I would rather spend more time to remove these two mines in advance.

This will avoid any unexpected setbacks when you are done.

However, at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from deep inside, followed by a second and third scream...

Tan Wenbin: "Fuck, is she going to give birth?"

Yin Meng: "Doesn't the Dragon King's stele say that a blood sacrifice will be performed when she gives birth?"

Lin Shuyou: "Yeah, hasn't the killing started yet?"

Runsheng: "Premature birth."

Along with screams, the chains on the two coffins fell off and the coffin lids were lifted.

Inside, two female corpses stood upright. Their skin was not as white as cream, but at least it looked quite fair. They must have been nobles when they were alive. But soon, their skin turned ashen blue, black air lingered around their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, and a sticky and smelly liquid oozed from their bodies.

“Bang!” “Bang.”

The two corpses fell and jumped out of the coffin, but they did not launch an attack. Instead, they stood on tiptoe and slid towards the entrance, as if they were guarding the law.

The screams continued.

Li Zhuiyuan had two choices.

One option is to continue to move forward steadily, building roads through mountains and bridges over rivers, and moving forward steadily step by step.

Another option is to block obstacles on the road in the most cost-effective way and rush into the core area, which is the "delivery room", as quickly as possible.

This can be a trap, but it can also be an opportunity.

However, if you think about it the other way around, the choice will be easier to make.

Historically, the last time the old woman gave birth, the Dragon King had to personally take action to deal with it, and the Dragon King of the Zhao family killed the Gu boy with his own hands.

From this, it can be inferred that the threat posed by the Gu child is much greater than that posed by the mother old woman.

Even if this is a trap, it is nothing more than a strategy of dividing the troops, and the risk is bearable.

Li Zhuiyuan made up his mind and said:

"Lin Shuyou."

"exist!"

"Stop them."

"understand!"

Lin Shuyou first reached out and patted the talisman needles in his mountaineering bag. This was to give himself a psychological hint, and also to give a clear signal to the boy who was about to be born.

The daytime was just a warm-up, the real work begins now.

Lin Shuyou spread out his left hand, clenched his right fist, pushed the ground with one leg, opened his vertical pupils, and the White Crane Boy descended!

The boy who descended said nothing, changed his body shape in three steps, approached a dead head, grabbed its clothes and pulled it back.

At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and an invisible vortex appeared in the palm of his hand, which forcibly pulled the other end to fall, forcing it to follow his pace.

Even the old mediums of Guan Jiangshou's lineage seldom saw Lord Yinshen use magic, which gradually led to the established perception that Guan Jiangshou could only fight evil spirits in close combat.

In fact, people do know how to use magic, but using magic will consume their own strength, so they are reluctant to do so.

Now, the boy is willing to give up.

He must have his own thoughts in his mind, but He had to face reality.

What he could not accept more than being ordered around and making rules by this young man was that after he had compromised so much and endured so many grievances, in the end, because he could not perform well, the young man forced his medium to replace a ghost spirit.

On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the scene in which Lin Shuyou stayed up all night and touched the statues of the two generals Zeng and Sun had deeply stimulated the boy.

As soon as the boy came up, he used his power to pull the two ends apart and opened up a way to escape.

Li Zhuiyuan climbed onto Runsheng's back again, waved his hand, and the others rushed in.

Those two beasts are about the same level as the noble lady during the day. Their strength is not outrageous, but they are difficult to kill. At this moment, it is not worth spending too much time on them.

After rushing out of the platform, there is a sticky pool of water.

There was no water in the pool, but stinking blood.

When everyone arrived here, a huge black hard shell emerged from inside. It should be a bug.

But the insect was already dead. There was a huge dent on its shell, which must have been broken by force and killed directly.

However, although the dead insects could not be resurrected, they became a new breeding carrier.

Small insects crawled out from its body one after another, and some even flapped their wings and began to fly.

"Yin Meng."

"understand!"

Yin Meng pulled out the exorcism whip. The whip was interrupted during the battle during the day, but it was still usable after being tied again. Besides, her whip was now more and more like a carrier of poison.

She is not like Runsheng, who has that kind of powerful brute force. If she had that kind of brute force, she would not use a whip. A shovel would be more suitable.

The exorcism whip vibrated and the poisonous mist dispersed.

Gu worms are poisonous in nature, but it is obvious that they are more afraid of Yin Meng's poison because Yin Meng is also afraid of his own poison.

After the road was cleared, Runsheng carried Li Zhuiyuan on his back and jumped onto the insect shell, then jumped to the other side of the pond.

A cave appeared in front of them. A strange pattern was carved on the cave. It should be the totem of the village where the old witch once lived.

Tan Wenbin jumped twice and followed, and Yin Meng was the last one to come over.

"Crashing... crashing..."

At this moment, dense swarms of insects appeared above the cave entrance, pouring down like a black waterfall.

The insects in the pool approached again after the poisonous fog dissipated.

Yin Meng knew what Xiao Yuan's purpose was. This time she had finally met a professional match, so she had to seize the opportunity to show her skills.

She unzipped her backpack, which was filled with various small bottles.

Some of the bottles were labeled, others were unmarked.

Tan Wenbin felt a toothache when he saw this. Before setting off, he had seen Yin Meng preparing the poison with his own eyes.

Those unmarked bottles didn’t mean that Yin Meng could identify them by their color and shape so there was no need to put labels on them, but that after Yin Meng had mixed half of them... she forgot what kind of poison they were.

In fact, everyone in the team knew that Yin Meng’s use of poison was somewhat unreliable.

But no one tried to persuade her to change it, even Li Zhuiyuan chose to accept it.

Because Yin Meng, who has been modified in a rigorous manner, is just an average poison master, while Yin Meng, who follows his original habits and acts a bit randomly, will have a large fluctuation in level and a very high upper limit.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, the 49th position!"

This is a term used in the arrangement of formations, which is also the "multiplication formula" created by the young man for them.

Runsheng nodded vigorously, and Tan Wenbin began to recite.

Then, Yin Meng began.

She threw the bottle out first, then whipped it in the air with a whip, causing the bottle to break. The toxin hidden in the whip produced an unknown reaction with the toxin in the bottle, causing it to explode directly.

First, a ball of green exploded, and all the poisonous insects nearby were frightened and avoided it.

Runsheng carried Li Zhuiyuan on his back, with Tan Wenbin following behind him. They all started running at the same time, walking in a curve.

Every time you turn a corner, it means that poison bottles will be broken in an area in front of you and poisonous fog will spread.

While dispelling the poisonous insects and clearing the way, we also tried our best to avoid hurting teammates.

Runsheng ran very seriously, and Tan Wenbin recited the formula loudly while running.

The poisonous insects were very scared, and the teammates were even more scared, because if Yin Meng slipped, they might get poisoned.

Finally, the big guy finally broke through the insect's obstruction and ran into the cave.

Yin Meng, on the other hand, stayed behind to clear the way for everyone.

Looking at the backs of his companions leaving, Yin Meng smiled.

The whip used itself as the center of the circle and continuously slapped, and the poisonous mist it dispersed created a temporary safety zone for itself.

She couldn't get out, and the poisonous insects outside didn't dare to rush in for the time being.

She did not feel abandoned. Instead, she enjoyed the feeling of giving and devoting herself to the team.

In fact, she had imagined this scene several times in her dreams:

She stood there and said:

"You go first, I'll cover you!"

Then the camera first gives her a close-up front view, and then pulls away to show her tragic back.

Unfortunately, there has never been such an opportunity in the past, let alone an environment to create such an opportunity, so she cannot get this sense of achievement.

Last time, Brother Xiaoyuan said that it was because of him that the King of Fengdu was involved and he made a great contribution.

But the problem is, she doesn’t remember anything, and neither does Brother Xiaoyuan or anyone else. Such a great feat, they can’t even recall it!

This time it’s good, I finally have a chance to show my abilities.

Yin Meng patted her bulging backpack. She had brought enough bottles of poison this time, so she was not panicked.

However, looking at the densely packed poisonous insects outside the poisonous fog, an idea suddenly came to her mind:
Do you want to catch a poisonous insect and study it?
She knew that her master, Aunt Liu, was best at witchcraft.

However, that kind of Gu technique was derived from the Feng Shui method of raising Gu, and what was raised was Feng Shui pictographic Gu, which is different from the Miaojiang Gu.

It’s not like Aunt Liu hadn’t taught Yin Meng how to raise poisonous insects, but Yin Meng only learned how to walk in the dark when she was in Zhangjiajie. Now she has a hard time walking in the dark, and her understanding of Feng Shui is very superficial...

So, Aunt Liu taught her several times and found her some larvae to raise, but she killed them every time.

The insects used in Feng Shui Gu magic are too delicate. Yin Meng thinks that the Miaojiang Gu insects have high resistance, so maybe he can find insects suitable for breeding?
Yin Meng looked around and saw that there were already quite a few poisonous insects on the ground that had been poisoned to death by her.

The poisonous insects are raised, so the insects that suit you are poisoned by yourself, right?
As long as the insect can withstand several rounds of my poison without being killed, isn't it a natural match for me?

However, she didn't know how long she would have to hold out here. She might have to clear the way for them again when Xiaoyuan and the others came back, so she had to plan how to use the poison in her bag.

Forget it. After this matter is resolved, I can just come down again to reunite with these poisonous insects. Well, let Runsheng bring me down secretly.

The three people who left the insect pond area continued to move forward along the cave.

Tan Wenbin's back, which had already been wet due to diving, got wet again.

"Oh, I should ask Meng Meng to prepare some antidote or something. Isn't that how it's played in TV dramas? If you take the antidote in advance, you won't be afraid of these poisons."

Runsheng: "Do you try the antidote and see if it works?"

"Well, just pretend I farted."

At first, the cave was relatively normal, but the further you went, the more murals appeared in the cave. They were very crude and primitive murals, all painted with blood, with all kinds of monsters and curses painted on them. There was a very thick gully extending from the middle of the top of the head, which must have been forcibly broken by someone with a sharp weapon.

However, the biggest feature of evil things is that as long as it is given time, it can revive, and even if it cannot recover to its full level, it can still cause trouble for you.

The sounds of laughter, cursing, and the roars of wild beasts continued to reach everyone's ears.

The things on the mural gradually changed from static to dynamic, as if they came alive.

They are the resentment sealed here, and are used as reverse door gods.

In the past, when faced with such a situation, Li Zhuiyuan would choose to stop, set up a formation first, and then use the formation to expand and suppress it bit by bit to isolate it from its influence.

But now, we can't do that.

Tan Wenbin patted his shoulders and scolded, "What are you two laughing at?"

It was lively outside, and the two resentful babies also started to join in the fun, just like a child who sees a group of other children playing and wants to join in the fun.

After he finished scolding, Tan Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the look that Brother Xiaoyuan was looking at him from Runsheng's back.

Tan Wenbin immediately patted his shoulders again: "Children, come on, jump up and call those little friends and animals to play with you!"

After the two resentful babies followed Tan Wenbin, although Tan Wenbin used ghost-controlling magic on them, overall, the supplements far outweighed the losses. The resentful spirits were much more solid than when their mother entrusted them to him.

The murals here have been destroyed, and those that remain here have long been severely damaged. That means there are a large number of them, but in terms of quality alone, they are far inferior to those of Tan Wenbin's two adopted sons.

Under the instigation of Tan Wenbin, the two resentful babies began to "call friends and gather companions."

High quality is like the eldest child in a group of children, naturally having the right to speak.

Gradually, the noise in Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng's ears became quieter, and their vision returned to normal.

Tan Wenbin kept backing away, waving his fingers as he backed away: "Come, come here, uncle will tell you a story, the story of Prince Snow White and the seven little red riding hoods."

"Walk."

"Ah."

Runsheng started running. Without any obstruction or interference, he soon ran a long distance. There were no more murals on the surrounding rock walls.

Runsheng: "Everyone is different now."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Everyone is growing.”

Li Zhuiyuan has always been very clear about the rational data on paper. Even their development plans were formulated by Li Zhuiyuan.

But until things really happened and they were able to stand on their own, Li Zhuiyuan began to feel a sense of strangeness in his heart.

Perhaps, this is what it means to walk along the river.

As wave after wave hits us, everyone is getting stronger with each wave, and everything happens silently.

Runsheng: "Xiaoyuan, since he was here, why didn't you clean it up?"

This is the question that Runsheng has been wanting to ask.

Since the Dragon King of the Zhao family had been here before, why didn't he clean up all the corners and crevices, making it more difficult for future generations?

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's not his fault. From his perspective at the time, he cleaned it up."

Of the twelve burial coffins, he cleaned nine and sealed the remaining three.

He killed the largest poisonous insect in the insect pond.

He directly dug a gully out of the resentful curse on the mural.

Most people only do a thorough cleaning before the New Year, but his cleaning will last for at least a hundred years, so it cannot be said that he did not do a good enough job.

But even the Dragon King can only control his generation.

On the inscription, he himself wrote: "Time is long, but human power is limited."

Sometimes, it’s not that that generation doesn’t want to finish things thoroughly, but believing in the wisdom of future generations is actually a kind of helplessness.

The shrill screams became more and more rapid, and it seemed that she was about to give birth.

This means that the time I wait for others is really short.

But just as Runsheng was about to step out of the cave, a huge tail swept over.

Runsheng quickly stepped back, and with a loud "boom", his tail swept past and rocks rolled down.

That thing looked like a snake, but it had four legs.

It is very common in rural areas and is called "four-legged snake" or "snake aunt". In fact, it is not a snake but a lizard.

However, the size of the thing in front of me is a little too exaggerated.

Fortunately, it has no head.

Its head was placed in another corner. It was very large and had turned into white bones.

But on its smooth neck, a black tumor grew, which was wriggling, looking like both a nose and an eye.

The scream is just ahead, it should be the last barrier blocking the entry into the "delivery room".

Runsheng knew that it was his turn.

"Xiaoyuan."

"Ah."

Runsheng accelerated and jumped out of the cave, avoiding another tail whip from that thing.

In the air, Runsheng raised his hand, and Li Zhuiyuan reached out and grabbed it. While he was free from Runsheng's back, Runsheng turned around and threw the boy out.

Li Zhuiyuan has never practiced martial arts, but his long-term and persistent practice of basic skills has made his physical fitness no longer as simple as his appearance suggests.

The one who felt this the most deeply was Runsheng. Every once in a while when the boy climbed on his back, he could sense the changes in the boy's strength and balance.

If Xiaoyuan was still the Xiaoyuan he was when they first met, he wouldn't dare to throw him like this, as he would be thrown to death.

When Li Zhuiyuan was in mid-air, he had already chosen the landing posture. The moment he landed, he applied side force to himself, and then the whole person rolled out continuously.

When she stood up, the headless "snake aunt" wanted to rush over to stop her, but Runsheng hit her leg with a shovel and forcibly stopped her.

The two of them exchanged a simple glance, Li Zhuiyuan nodded to Runsheng, and Runsheng nodded in response.

If the valve was fully open, Runsheng would have a chance of killing this headless creature directly, but there was no need for that for the time being.

They were so close, whether to open or not was just a matter of the boy’s greeting.

Just like Tan Wenbin’s ghost-controlling technique, when Li Zhuiyuan was around, the right to use Runsheng and Tan Wenbin’s secret techniques naturally fell into the hands of the young man.

There were three water curtains in front of him. After passing through the water curtains, Li Zhuiyuan saw the real Zhaojun Temple.

Compared to the one on the mountain outside, this one can only be said to be more rough.

It can be seen that this was a temporary carving made with local materials.

In some places, there are still obvious cutting marks.

There is a stone plaque on it with the words "Zhao's enfeoffment" written on it.

There are two stone tablets below, one big and one small. A boy is embedded on the small tablet, but he has long turned into dry bones. He was forcibly driven into the stone tablet.

There is a depression in the large stone tablet, and a human figure can be vaguely seen, but the middle is empty.

Zhao Wuyang probably wanted to turn the old witch and her poison boy into stone specimens.

But unfortunately, he killed the Gu boy and suppressed him to death, but he failed to kill the old witch.

In the end, they had no choice but to build a temple and set up a formation here, hoping to kill the old woman with the power of time and the formation.

However, the formation was "extinguished" first, and the old woman was able to survive and even escape.

From the remaining traces, Li Zhuiyuan could deduce some details of the formation.

He has seen too many strange formations and broadened his horizons.

Yuxuzi's understanding of the formation allowed him to deepen his understanding of the formation details; Wei Zhengdao's support in his dream enhanced his aesthetic appreciation of the formation.

The Fengmo formation of the Zhao family's Dragon King is a bit rough.

It is highly likely that the Zhao family's Dragon King is not good at the art of formation.

This is not a strange thing. Human life is limited, and it is difficult for someone to learn all the ways in a short period of time.

The path that the Zhao family's Dragon King took should be one of breaking everything with force. The traces he left behind since entering here all prove this point.

But even a leader like the Dragon King needs the support of his family in the end.

However, it would be difficult for Jiujiang Zhao to provide him with such assistance, but this also indirectly illustrates the difficulty and hardship of his rise.

If this world was always monopolized by the Dragon King family, it would be quite boring.

Continue walking further inside, and you will see crystal inverted cones all above you, and some loose fragments on the ground.

It can be easily crushed when you step on it.

The texture of this powder is exactly the same as when the dummies were broken into pieces.

I think the raw material for that magical mirror technique cannot be separated from this.

In order to maintain its continued output, the environment here cannot change, so the old woman wants to stop the construction of the hydropower station.

"what!!!"

This was the most miserable and sharpest scream so far.

After this sound, only short gasps were left.

Li Zhuiyuan walked forward quickly and saw an altar in front of him. There were many broken iron chains on the altar and a disheveled woman was lying there.

“Hehehe…hehehe…”

The woman laughed, raised her head, sat up, and looked down at Li Zhuiyuan from the altar.

Her left eye exudes a fierce luster, while her right eye is like gentle lake water.

When their eyes met, Li Zhuiyuan first closed his eyes and then opened them, interrupting the mental charm he was casting on himself.

A look of satisfaction appeared on the woman's face again.

She reached out and gently stroked her belly, which was flat.

Li Zhuiyuan was puzzled: Is the baby born?
However, the woman's next move made the boy realize that he was wrong.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The woman began to pat her belly hard. Her normal, flat abdomen bulged rapidly and gradually became transparent. Inside, there was a child who shouldn't be in the mother's body at all.

From the angle from which Li Zhuiyuan was standing, he could only see the child's back.

But judging from his back, he might be about five years old.

"Son, you're right. Just as you said, as long as I keep making birth-like screams, he will rush over impatiently. You see, everything is just as you expected.

This is really my good child. He is so smart and calculating even before he was born."

After the woman finished talking to her belly, she looked up at Li Zhuiyuan and asked:
"You said that, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan clenched his right fist slightly, and the fire of karma had already ignited in the palm of his hand. He turned his left hand down, and the copper coin sword fell into his hand.

Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter. Compared with the benefits, this risk is worth taking.

There was a rumbling sound coming from behind, it was Runsheng and the "snake aunt" fighting.

Just give him a call and Runsheng will be fully excited.

This also means that Li Zhuiyuan’s current situation is actually not that bad.

But this woman... This is your lair, why do you think she is taking advantage of someone by letting them go straight into your lair?
The woman stood up, opened her mouth, and a sharp scream came out of her mouth, and the crystals around her began to tremble.

She walked down the stairs, and her limbs began to turn irregularly, making a creaking sound, like broken parts beginning to reintegrate.

Her aura became stronger and stronger, and the resentment condensing around her became more and more intense.

The strength of an evil spirit can be seen from its aura.

The old woman was once a holy woman from the Miao area. This kind of evil spirit transformed from a Xuanmen person is the most difficult type to deal with.

But at this moment, a "boom boom boom" sound came from the old woman's belly.

"what!!!"

She let out a scream, and the resentment that had previously gathered began to shake. Not only was the gathering process interrupted, it even gradually dispersed.

The old woman sat on the steps, holding her stomach with a painful expression.

"Child, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, until mother kills him and his men, mother will be free and give birth to you properly."

However, the soft and gentle words did not bring about the same response from the belly.

The "dong dong dong" sound became louder than before.

"what!!!"

The old woman screamed again.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan was a little confused about whether his choice was right or wrong.

I knew clearly that it was wrong the moment before, but now it seems to be a little right.

The old woman really gave birth prematurely as Runsheng said.

"Child, listen to mother and wait a little longer. Mother has to prepare a blood sacrifice for your birth. Only in this way can you be strong from birth, just like your brother!
Your brother was very powerful since birth. If it wasn’t for protecting mother, your brother would not have been killed by the Dragon King. He sacrificed himself to save mother’s life!

Please wait a little longer, don’t be impatient, don’t be impatient…”

In response to her, there was a piercing "hiss!"

Her belly was cut open from the inside.

"Kid, what are you doing, what are you doing, stop it, stop it, stop it!"

“Chachacha…”

The extent of the belly tear is still getting worse.

"Child, please stop, please stop quickly and wait for your mother to prepare blood...blood..."

The old woman's limbs began to shrivele, and her originally messy hair gradually turned white and gray, as if she had aged many years in an instant.

If no blood sacrifice is prepared, then the mother’s body will be used as blood food.

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly realized that the "Mother and Child Heart-Linking Gu" recorded in Wei Zhengdao's book had gone wrong on the old woman.

The old woman didn’t want to give birth to a second herself, she really wanted to give birth to a child of her own!

Strong selfish motives and ambitions will lead people in the Xuanmen astray. No matter how high-sounding their words are, they are all for themselves. And the old woman caused such a big turmoil... just to give birth to a child that she thinks is perfect?

What kind of terrible paranoia is this, and to what extent has the word "maternal love" been distorted and polluted?

At the same time, this also explains why Zhao Wuyang had to deal with both Gu Tong and the old woman who changed his mind. Logically, the old woman who changed his mind should have died when Gu Tong was born, and she would be reborn in the body of Gu Tong.

Her first child sacrificed himself to save her when the crisis came, which deepened her obsession with giving birth to another perfect child.

But this time, something unexpected seemed to have happened.

The second child seemed unwilling to listen to his mother.

Li Zhuiyuan frowned slightly. What kind of freak is this old woman pregnant with?

The old woman was very panicked. Her body was getting older and older, and life was constantly flowing into her abdomen. If this continued, she would die, die!
Several times, she raised her hands and wanted to reach into her abdomen to try to strangle her child, but in the end, she withdrew her hands because she couldn't bear to do so.

She felt that her second child was more perfect than the first and would definitely make her satisfied. She was reluctant to destroy the fruit of her hard work.

"Crack!"

The belly is completely broken.

A child stood up from inside.

When he was in the belly, he was only five years old. Now that he is "born", from the back, he has a body shape close to eight years old.

The price of growing up is the crazy plundering of the mother's body.

The old woman was lying on the ground, extremely weak, but she was not dead yet. The little bit of vitality she had left was enough to keep her alive.

She had once struggled to survive the Dragon King's attack and suppression, and this time, she could survive as well.

With a smile on her face, she looked at the child standing in front of her and raised her hand with difficulty, wanting to touch his face.

But the child reached out and slapped away the intimate touch from his "mother".

He raised his foot and stepped on his mother's neck.

"Crack!" A breaking sound was heard.

Then he bent down and stretched out his hand. There was a continuous pulling and rubbing sound, and finally with a "snap", he pulled the old woman's head away from her body.

Then, just throw it away like a piece of trash.

The old witch's head rolled a long way on the altar like a ball. When it stopped, her expression was one of disbelief.

No one could have imagined that this folk legend character, who was used countless times by parents to scare their children into being obedient, would actually die in this way...

What the Dragon King could not accomplish back then was accomplished by this newborn child.

"whee……"

The child laughed.

He turned around and faced Li Zhuiyuan below.

This was the first time that Li Zhuiyuan saw the child from the front and saw the child’s true appearance.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan felt like he was looking in the mirror when he was eight years old a few years ago.

Even if you ignore the age difference, he looks almost like me.

At this time, the boy put his right hand into his mouth and sucked it, with a shy smile on his face, and shouted to Li Zhuiyuan in a childish voice:

"Brother, look, I'll help you kill her."

Just out of the mother's womb, sticky liquid kept dripping from the boy's head. He took a few steps forward, stepping on the old woman's corpse, making a "baji, baji" sound.

As if seeing that Li Zhuiyuan didn't react, the boy's face showed three parts of confusion, three parts of grievance, three parts of fear and the most important one part of expectation.

Li Zhuiyuan could see a pie chart on the boy's face.

Because he was used to performing with such precision.

The boy asked again:
"Brother, don't you like me?"

Li Zhuiyuan took a deep breath, and at this moment, a strong feeling of rejection rose from deep in his heart.

Because of A'li and his own efforts, the illness that had been suppressed and had not reappeared for a long time now showed signs of recurring.

Li Zhuiyuan said in a deep voice:

"You make me feel sick."
