Star Trace Gate

Chapter 774 Li Yan's speculation, the witch's plot

Xinzhou, a bamboo house located deep in the mountains.

At night, Ren Ye carried two pots of good wine and three pounds of beef and walked into Li Yan's room: "Hey, are all the seniors here?!"

Inside the room, six powerful followers of the God of Wealth, dressed in gorgeous clothes inlaid with gold and silver, were chatting with Li Yan. When they saw Ren Ye enter, they all nodded politely to him.

The name of the Park Master has been on the hot search list many times in the Fraud Chamber of Commerce. After all, many people there followed Li Yan to participate in the Battle of Frontier Storm, and were fooled into losing everything at the final luxury house auction. In addition, Ren Qingning is also a rising star in the Chamber of Commerce, so everyone has heard of her "explosive" brother.

One of them, who looked like a very young fifth-rank master with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, only glanced at Ren Ye and said very sensibly, "Master, you guys talk, we'll go back and rest now."

"Yeah." Li Yan nodded slightly.

Ren Ye saw the six powerful bodyguards stand up, so he said sweetly: "After this matter is settled, I will sincerely invite all the elders to go to Qingliang Mansion to sit together!"

He smiled brightly, as if he had met his financial sponsor.

When everyone heard this, their anus tightened and they laughed awkwardly, "Of course I'll do it if I have money."

"Farewell, farewell!"

"...!"

The six people left this overly enthusiastic place without hesitation and closed the door.

"Good brother, drink something?"

Ren Ye immediately put the wine and meat on the table and greeted Li Yan very attentively.

The oil paper is spread out, the aroma of the braised beef is overflowing, and the luster is attractive; the fine wine makes everyone who smells it intoxicated.

Li Yan sat on a large chair, and after a brief pause, he picked up the wine, uncorked it, and said, "I don't eat beef."

"?!"

Ren was also slightly stunned.

"I especially don't eat beef cooked in the industrial park." Li Yan hit the nail on the head: "To be honest, I'm really afraid of getting pregnant...!"

"Damn, what are you talking about?! Your wife wasn't here, so he didn't do this himself." Ren Ye emphasized excitedly.

"Gudong, Gudong!"

Li Yan drank two sips of the wine and insisted, "I won't eat what you made."

"...!"

Ren was speechless. He reached out and picked up two slices of beef, put them in his mouth and chewed them, saying, "I've already said that there are problems with your family and Tang Feng's family. You both have dirty thoughts..."

Li Yan changed the subject while drinking, "I just heard Xu Bangzi explain the whole story. Your situation seems to be very bad."

Ren Ye paused for a moment and corrected himself, "No, it's not that my situation is bad. It's that our situation is very bad... This is very important, because once you come, you can't leave."

"I'm involved again?!" Li Yan was stunned.

"No!" Ren Ye responded with a big tongue and nodded.

Li Yan already had a strong immunity to such a shameless person, so he did not refute, but said helplessly: "Then tell me, what are you going to do next to get out of your current situation? I just entered the fifth rank, I really don't want to embrace death with you."

"I'll tell you about that later."

Ren Ye waved his hand carelessly and said solemnly: "Good brother, I came to you in such a hurry because of another matter."

"explain."

"If you have just talked with Xu Bangzi, you must know that our old Liu lost his head because he took a shit without permission..." Ren Ye said seriously, "This matter has been hanging in my mind, but I don't know the reason, which makes me nervous. You have a lot of experience in cultivating the physical body. The classics you have seen and the rumors you have heard are definitely far more than ours. So, I want you to take a look at it, otherwise you will just rely on guessing and have no confidence."

Li Yan was speechless for a long while, then complained: "I have told you so many times that Old Liu is born with intellectual disabilities. You should and have the responsibility to take good care of him... How can you let him urinate and defecate anywhere next to the emperor's tomb?!"

"Stop talking. It's my fault." Ren didn't dare to argue.

"have a look."

Li Yan put down the wine jug and spoke softly.

"boom!"

Ren Ye was naturally unreserved in front of his elder brother. He immediately summoned the Phoenix Fire Furnace, causing it to transform into the size of a pill furnace and fall to the ground to stand upright.

"brush!"

Li Yan's soul flew away with a thought. His physical body sat motionless on the chair, but his soul had flown into the furnace.

Ren didn't have those two tricks, so he could only enter the furnace in his physical body and lead Li Yan to fall out of the furnace.

From the outside, this furnace looks like a regular alchemy furnace, but once you enter, you'll feel like you're in a vast green mountain, and the space inside is extremely vast.

The two of them flew down, and soon they saw a body with its head and body separated floating on the silent waters of the Styx.

That was none other than Old Liu. He had been "dead" for more than a month, but under the influence of the water of the Styx and the Nine-bend Green Cloud Bamboo, his body had not decayed and was emitting a faint fluorescence.

"Don't move, I'll investigate."

Li Yan opened his mouth to remind him, then activated his spiritual perception and flew to the side of Lao Liu's body in the form of a soul.

"brush!"

A gentle divine perception instantly enveloped the corpse and Lao Liu's head.

Ren also stood above and stared, not daring to disturb.

After about two incense sticks had passed, Li Yan opened his eyes with a frown and said solemnly, "Go back."

Ren Ye saw how grim his face looked, and his heart skipped a beat: "Is there any hope for my brother Liu? Don't really...really not going to survive."

"Go out and talk."

"it is good."

"...!"

After a while, the two flew away from the Phoenix Fire Furnace and returned to the bamboo house.

Li Yan regained his composure and picked up the wine jug again.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Ren Ye asked anxiously.

Li Yan raised his head and took a sip of strong liquor, then asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Was the head cut off in the emperor's tomb?"

"Yes." Ren nodded heavily.

"This is the only good news among countless bad signs." Li Yan looked worried, suspicious and uncertain.

"What do you mean?!"

"I have practiced both physical and spiritual cultivation, and I have lived in Qingliang Mansion for more than seven years in the form of a soul. I think my perception of the soul is better than many people. But at this moment, Old Liu... is in a state of soul scattering, without the slightest fluctuation of his mind and residual soul." Li Yan's eyes were solemn: "According to common sense, he must have died. It is difficult for gods and immortals to save him, and it is difficult for heaven to save him."

"......!" Ren Ye heard Li Yan speak so confidently, and a feeling of despair suddenly surged in his heart.

"only……."

"But what?! Tell me now!"

"However, his body is rather strange. This person has been dead for more than a month. Even with the nourishment of treasures such as the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo and the Styx Treasure Bottle, the most he can do is to keep his body in an incorruptible state, making it forever remain in the state before his death. But what is abnormal is that although Lao Liu's head and body are separated, the blood circulation in his body has not stopped. It is like a body without three souls and seven spirits, but it can still survive in the world. I infer that even without the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo and the Styx Treasure Bottle, his body will not rot and wither..."

Li Yan expressed his opinion.

Ren Ye heard this and immediately added: "The Taoist master Chu next to me once said that Lao Liu might have been refined into a corpse puppet under the Taoist rhyme of the Great Emperor."

Li Yan nodded when he heard this: "Your Taoist friend has good eyesight. It is possible that Old Liu has become a corpse puppet..."

"Isn't this fucking over? This is more painful than death!" Ren Ye said anxiously.

"However, there is another possibility." Li Yan pondered for a while and suddenly said, "Before coming here, I specifically searched for the books about the Jiuli legend in the Chamber of Commerce. By chance, I actually saw some things."

"What legend?"

"In the early years of the emperor, before he attained enlightenment, he fought with the ancient emperor in the Zhuolu wilderness. The emperor was defeated, his head and body were separated, and his blood turned into brine, which was dissolved in the salt pond. Because his body was dissolved, the place was named Jie." Li Yan's erudition is not comparable to that of a bunch of illiterate and reckless people in the park.

He paused for a moment, then pointed his finger at the table, his eyes shining as he said, "This means that the Jiuli Emperor was also beheaded by the Ancient Emperor! Can you understand the mysterious cause and effect of this?!"

Ren was also confused: "It seems that there is such a legend on Blue Star as well."

"Don't worry about Blue Star. Just say that this is what is recorded in the classics about Jiuli Continent." Li Yan emphasized.

"I understand what you mean." Ren nodded slightly, and immediately said excitedly: "The emperor had his head and body separated before, and the state of Lao Liu's head moving today is exactly the same as the emperor's experience back then, so... this may not be a disaster, but an opportunity!"

Li Yan drank his wine and just stared at him without saying anything.

"And the most important point." Ren Ye suddenly became clear-headed and continued to infer: "The ancient emperor had beheaded the emperor. Although I certainly did not inherit the ancient emperor who was born in Jiuli Continent, I can also be regarded as the descendant and successor of the ancient emperor, the human emperor. Now, I happened to come to Jiuli Continent and enter the emperor's tomb. The grievances of endless years have changed their positions and positions at this moment. But fortunately, I did not take a shit, nor did I accidentally enter the emperor's tomb, so Lao Liu, who is as close to me as a brother... was inexplicably stabbed. Is this possible?"

"Cause and effect, of course there is." Li Yan analyzed: "Old Liu might have blocked the knife for you. You are a disaster star."

"Don't spit blood! This is just an inference!" Ren Ye emphasized, and then thought: "However, the Dao rhyme of the Jiuli Emperor that remains in the world is indeed directed at me. Because the blood guide I got is an emperor character, which is different from others, and it must secretly protect the life character. This arrangement is very much like a kind of good-natured ridicule, using you, the descendant of the ancient emperor, to protect my life character... So, according to your inference, the guillotine that Lao Liu suffered may really contain some kind of causal meaning."

"Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, perhaps we can only know it after entering the Emperor's Tomb again. If our guess is correct, the Emperor has cut off his head, and Lao Liu has also cut off his head. This may involve some secret method left by the Emperor..." Li Yan drank: "So, the Emperor's Tomb is a hurdle that you cannot avoid."

"Well, I have to go in for Lao Liu too."

Ren nodded slightly and couldn't help but sighed: "Fortunately you are here, otherwise I would never have heard such secrets in Jiuli Continent. The folk legends here only say that in the battle between the emperor and the emperor, although the emperor was defeated, his Tao heart was not broken, but broke through the shackles and made further progress. But they didn't say that there was any shame of beheading..."

"Of course. The Jiuli Continent respects the Great Emperor, and all the people under the throne are descendants. They take the Great Emperor as their role model and are proud of him, so how could there be any shame of beheading?!" Li Yan echoed, "And in my opinion, this is not a shame. Back then, the Emperor and the King had not yet attained enlightenment, so a victory or defeat does not mean anything. For example, perhaps the Ancient King also suffered from some hidden illness in that battle, but no one knows about it."

"Yes."

Although Ren Ye was the descendant of the ancient emperor, he also respected the emperor in his heart. After all, the old man had given him a treasure of Jiekong Stone through the hand of the Heavenly Dao.

Although this task is difficult, I will never forget this kindness.
