One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

Lü Liang was awakened by the chirping of insects.

I opened my eyes and saw a full moon hanging in the sky.

The silvery moonlight shone on the wilderness, and the sounds of cicadas and frogs filled the air.

A shallow stream flowed gently past the rocks.

"Zhou...cough cough...Master Zhou..."

This place is clearly far from the outskirts of Beijing.

Using both hands and feet, Lü Liang laboriously turned over and sat up.

My whole body aches...

Several hours of frantic running, plus the second time he lost a hand and a leg.

He simply didn't know how his small frame had managed to survive!

It all started with that trip to Longhu Mountain...

A campfire was burning in front of them, the dry wood crackling as it burned.

Since meeting the man in front of him, his fate has completely gone astray.

Zhou Yan sat by the fire, holding two sharpened branches, each with a skewer of two unfortunate wild rabbits, slowly roasting them over the fire.

"You're awake."

Zhou Yan didn't even look up, flipping the roasted meat while simultaneously sprinkling salt evenly onto the roasted rabbit with his other hand...

Lü Liang was dumbfounded.

Where...where did the salt come from?

What baffled him even more was that there was a small packet of chili powder and cumin at Zhou Yan's feet!

Wow... this is way too professional!

Didn't he receive his own distress call and rush to the unfinished building to rescue people?

It's one thing to change into a luxury car.

Why are you carrying barbecue seasoning in your pocket?!

So, are you a security guard or a cook?

The fat sizzled and oozed from the meat, dripping onto the hot coals and creating a small puff of white smoke.

The perfectly seasoned ingredients were fully released by the hot oil, and in an instant, the rich aroma of meat filled the wilderness...

'Gulp—'

Lü Liang's stomach growled involuntarily, and he subconsciously swallowed.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Yan looked up and smiled.

"You're in luck."

He flipped the rabbit over to make sure every inch of the skin was baked to a golden brown and crispy perfection.

Involuntarily, the image of a pink-haired girl who was craving his cooking involuntarily came to mind... and a smile naturally crept onto my lips:

"My skills have been personally certified by a 'descendant of a prestigious family'."

Ordinary people can't afford to eat it.

Zhou Yan casually handed over one of the roasted rabbits.

"Eat."

Without looking up, he casually asked, "By the way, did you sleep well?"

Lu Lianggang tore off a piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with juice in your mouth...

Aside from being a little too hot to eat, the taste is absolutely impeccable!

But his chewing motion froze completely the moment he heard those words!

Did you sleep well?

This is fantastic!

I haven't slept this well in the past two weeks!

Day after day, every time I close my eyes, I'm plunged into that agonizing dream...

But just now, I wasn't dreaming!

In an instant, cold sweat soaked through Lü Liang's clothes on his back!

A gust of night wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Zhou Yan definitely didn't ask that casually.

He... really knows everything!

"Master Zhou!!!"

With his mouth greasy, Lü Liang dropped the roasted rabbit and was about to kneel on the gravel beach.

Zhou Yan remained seated and did not move.

A gentle breeze steadied Lü Liang's body.

"There's no need to kneel every time..."

Zhou Yan's gaze shifted downwards, taking a look at the other person's blood-stained, empty sleeves and trouser legs.

"The methods were a bit cruel, but I told you before, one day you'll come back to thank me."

He could roughly guess what kind of mental torment Lü Liang had been suffering recently.

That's... a curse from my blood-related... great-grandmother!

Of course, it is also a gift.

Who knows...

And he hadn't actually done anything shocking or outrageous.

However, by simply using the "words become law" power of the Tongtian Talisman, he patted Xiao Liangzi's forehead and said:

[Three days without dreams.]

That's it.

The phrase "words become law" sounds impressive, but after some time of exploration, Zhou Yan has gradually figured out its underlying logic.

The more stringent the additional conditions, the smaller the scope of the impact, and naturally the smaller the cost.

"Don't dream for three days"—this trivial matter has a cost so small that it's almost negligible.

Now that things have come to this, Zhou Yan has to admit that the Heavenly Scroll is indeed a valuable item...

As long as you don't get greedy and don't pursue unrealistic things...

Limiting the rules to a controllable range and utilizing them well is a divine skill!

"Master Zhou..."

Lu Liang clutched his head in anguish with his only remaining hand, his voice filled with suppressed sobs.

"You're so capable, please save me! I...I'm going crazy!"

He gripped his hair tightly, his body trembling violently.

"Every night, I dream that I have become a woman... locked up... somewhere... and being tortured."

That dream felt so real! I...

He suddenly raised his head, his features contorted.

One side of his face was grinning bitterly, while the other side looked like he was crying.

Two lines of thick, black tears slid down the corners of her eyes and dripped onto her stained clothes.

"I can't tell... I can't tell at all!!!"

Zhou Yan looked at him, who was on the verge of collapse, and sighed.

"Okay, calm down..."

He took a bite of the rabbit meat in his hand and continued:

"I do know something about your situation."

I can tell you definitively that you are sick, and very sick.

Lu Liang obediently raised his sleeve and hastily wiped away the black tears and snot on his face.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to make himself look as insane as possible.

"Master Zhou, you can cure me...you can definitely cure me, right?"

He stared intently at Zhou Yan, as if grasping at the last straw.

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"I can't."

The light in Lü Liang's eyes dimmed instantly.

"But I know who can cure it," Zhou Yan said, changing the subject.

Meeting Lü Liang's hopeful gaze, he extended his index finger and pointed it at Lü Liang's nose.

"You yourself."

"Little Liangzi, the only one who can heal you is yourself!"

Lü Liang was stunned. "Me?"

Zhou Yan looked at the other person's severed hands and feet, and his tone became serious.

"I need to know first, to what extent your power has been awakened?"

Lü Liang moved back a little...

"Don't deny it."

Zhou Yan sneered, "In the unfinished building, I saw your severed limbs hidden under the rocks."

First, I have to admit, you're a fucking tough guy... so I'm willing to help you, but on the condition that you're completely and utterly honest with me.

Lü Liang swallowed hard, not daring to hide anything:

"I...I didn't mean to hide it from you, I was sleepwalking!"

Zhou Yan was slightly taken aback.

A look of pain returned to Lü Liang's face once again:

"That night...the woman in my dream seemed to possess my body...when I woke up, my hands and feet had grown back!"

He ripped open his sleeve, and the scene before him made Zhou Yan's scalp tingle!

At the severed elbow, red light flickered...and fleshy buds writhed!

Flesh, bones, and meridians regenerate and collapse at a visible rate... in an endless cycle!

It looked as if hundreds of maggots were crawling all over the wound...

Lu Liang's face was deathly pale, and he said weakly:

"I... seem to have inherited that power... but I haven't been able to fully master it yet..."

Zhou Yan nodded and threw the leftover bones into the fire.

Sure enough, it wasn't ready yet.

"I see..."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something."

Lü Liang looked up.

"Your Lü family has never had any of that bullshit 'Soul Clarity Technique'."

Zhou Yan patted the seasoning residue off his hands and said, word by word:

"Your 'Blue Hand,' which you used to read other people's memories by doing evil deeds, is actually one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques..."

Of course, this is only an incomplete version.

Its original name was—Dual-Handed.
