Chapter 415: Chapter 74 (End of this Volume)_8Although Wei Zhengdao’s friend initially had bad intentions, he ended up doing good deeds. No matter how much people criticized him in their hearts, he indeed protected the peace of the locality for an entire year. One year after another is estimated, who knows when he will completely expire. In this world, pure and flawless existence is rare. Many of the "protective beasts" in myths and legends from various places, when explored in depth, are not necessarily good things initially; they focus on actions rather than intentions. Today, Li Zhiyuan is conducting a minor ritual. The prefix "minor" actually means that it has nothing to do with the later ordination; essentially, it’s similar to villagers’ and commoners’ offering sacrifices to the Dragon King by throwing pig heads into water. Whether you like it or not, I will put a "high hat" on you first. This way, even if you want to misbehave in the future, you would have some scruples. Burning papers, chanting spells, reciting scriptures, Li Zhiyuan sincerely completed this set of ritual processes. This set of processes has no substantial effect, purely formalistic, far less effective than directly lying down in the peach grove to perform an Underworld walkthrough. But this is performed to show an attitude to the Corpse. After the ritual, Li Zhiyuan at the front, holding a bowl of yellow wine in his left hand and incense in his right, swirling the bottom of the incense in the wine bowl three times. Behind him, Run Sheng, Tan Wenbin, and Yin Meng were also holding the same items and making the same movements. "Offering wine." The three stepped forward together, extending the bowl beyond the embankment, pouring the wine into the mud below. Then, it was Li Zhiyuan’s turn alone; beneath the embankment, three wet traces could be clearly seen, but when Li Zhiyuan poured his wine down, the liquid was instantly absorbed by the ground, leaving it dry, not even a hint of wine stain remained. This was truly dry. Li Zhiyuan could even imagine the ferocious laughter from the being underground; it indeed wanted to see him practicing the methods from Wei Zhengdao’s Black Book, ending up as miserably as itself. Unfortunately, it was bound to be disappointed; he had already learned the Black Book and even used it several times, but not a trace of Corpse parasitism was left behind. Suddenly, Li Zhiyuan thought of a possibility. It might be that while he and others were criticizing it, it was also criticizing them underground. Because from its "perspective," because of its existence, no Corpses appear nearby, so even if he learned the Black Book, there were no Corpses to manipulate, unable to "get sick." But it still stubbornly waited, wanting to see his miserable end, but the more it waited, as long as he didn’t leave his hometown, he wouldn’t meet any Corpses. This is a deadlock, miserable for both parties. However, this angle could be leveraged. Departing from the earlier ritualistic scriptures, he could say something else. Li Zhiyuan slightly spread his toes outward, stood firm, and looked forward. "Snap!" He snapped his fingers at himself and walked into the Underworld! In his vision, half reality, half hazy. He used to think that each Underworld walkthrough required him to sleep first, but later he gradually figured out a state of half-dream, half-awake; in actuality, it’s possible to manage both. Otherwise, those Taoists and monks resolving dirty things, needing to sleep to see dirty things, yes they could see them while asleep, but how would they resolve them? Looking back at the route he came from, Li Zhiyuan admired his method, just like deciphering "Qi’s Spring and Autumn," relying on brute force from his smart brain. The boy didn’t see "it," but under the original pond location in the peach grove, a thin layer of black could be seen. "Before I met you, I often encountered Corpses. After meeting you, I stopped encountering them. Now, I’m leaving home to study. I’ll surely encounter many Corpses outside and will use the methods you taught in the Black Book. But I don’t believe I will turn into something as inhuman and ghostly as you. I have better talent, I’m smarter, and I’m even luckier than you. I don’t believe it, Let’s see in a few years. Oh, By the way, If there’s nothing wrong at home, I won’t come back." After speaking, the originally black layer of soil slowly turned blood-red but quickly disappeared. Li Zhiyuan snapped his fingers again, ending the Underworld walkthrough, and his vision returned to normal. Standing behind him, Tan Wenbin also mimicked the action of snapping his fingers. Of course, he was just simply imitating Brother Xiao Yuan’s gesture. If he now wants to start an Underworld walkthrough to enhance the success rate, he still needs to burn incense and chant scriptures. After Li Zhiyuan finished speaking, the implied meaning was, if you don’t want me to continue coming back here to live safely, then continue to ensure that my old home remains safe and peaceful. This way, I can indulge freely outside, and when I return home as miserably as you hoped, you’ll get your wish. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, speaking in detail, there’s only Grandmaster, grandparents, and that group of relatives left in his own family. If it’s further explored, looking at the family registry, actually, there’s only Grandmaster. But Grandmaster has Luck, and it seems he doesn’t need the care from the one below. Even if he and others left, Grandmaster only needs to hire another worker to continue living a comfortable life with wine and meat. Let’s say, stepping ten thousand steps back, if there’s a real trouble, Mr. Shan can come over and stand in for Grandmaster. After all, Mr. Shan’s life is still in Grandmaster’s hands. After leaving Big Beard’s house, the group didn’t go straight home but first went to Aunt Zhang’s shop to call Xue Liangliang. Soon, the call was returned.
