Chapter 368: Yinshan Village

The thunder fell, hitting the ground with a loud rumble, and after a shaking of the ground that made people unsteady on their feet, a dazzling beam of light enveloped everything.

All the spirits and grievances were dispersed in this heavenly thunder that destroyed the earth.

The Red and White Furies were reduced to shadows in the purple light, the skeletons of the foreigners were burnt to ashes in the blazing thunder, and the pagoda of Yinshan Village shook and fell to the ground, struck by lightning and burst into flames.

He opened his hands, as if relieved by the heavenly punishment that burned and melted his soul, and turned to look behind him at Bai Liu, who was not punished by the thunderbolt.

"...... I am fortunate to have a descendant like you in a hundred years." The Taoist smiled and said softly, "Listen to my words, the road ahead is long, do not be stubborn and obstinate, chasing after the mirror and the moon, it is better to cherish the person in front of you."

"The moon under the water is the moon in front of you."

After he had finished speaking, the Taoist man gave a slight pause and stroked Bai Liu's head, smiling with a sigh: "You are not very old, but your memory is not so good, you always forget things again and again.

"But some things are in the past for you, and it's good to forget them. ......"

As he spoke, the figure turned little by little into clouds of smoke and stars and disappeared.

By the time the thunder had subsided and the rain had stopped, the only people left on the ground in Yinshan Village were a dumbfounded Yang Zhi and Kong Xuyang, an unconscious Mu Sicheng, and a silent Bai Liu, who was lost in thought.

Kong Xuyang's dumbfounded eyes swept first to his empty palms, then slowly to the empty village of Yinshan, and finally to the unconscious Mu Sicheng on the ground, where joy appeared on his face, almost to the point of a frenzy.

"The boss monster at the bottom of the level is dead, the whole village has been cleared and Bai Liu's teammate has passed out ......"

Kong Xuyang opened his hands and laughed wildly in the air as the ashes tumbled through the air: "Such a situation, God help me!"

After all these changes and ups and downs, Yang Zhi couldn't help but fall to his knees, laughing twice in a trance-like manner, as if to convince himself, and saying to himself with certainty: "...... can win, I'm sure I can win!

"Is that so?" Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Kong Xuyang with a smile, "Should I congratulate you guys in advance then?"

When Bai Liu opened his mouth, Kong Xuyang thought Bai Liu was attacking him with a whip and he subconsciously took two steps back in fear, but when he did, Bai Liu remained in his place, unmoving.

Kong Xuyang's retreating steps were halted as he suddenly realised something and looked down at Bai Liu's exposed limbs.

Bai Liu is zombifying bit by bit, so is completely immobile.

Kong Xuyang froze for a moment, then he could barely contain the nervous maniacal grin on his face as he clapped his hands and shouted, " Bai Liu ah Bai Liu, I thought you were so smart, you actually got screwed by an NPC zombie Taoist!"

"That zombie used the excuse of borrowing yin wealth to ferry all the yin energy to you, you were already short of yang energy and were about to turn into a yin thing, and now you've eaten so much yin energy-"

Kong Xuyang's eyes glowed as he put his hands behind his back and strutted over to Bai Liu, who was zombified and unable to move, and tsked with hypocritical regret: "-- Bai Liu, I think you and your monkey teammates are going to become monsters and stay in this copy forever! ."

"It does sound like that." Bai Liu looked at Kong Xuyang levelly and smiled in response.

After confirming that Bai Liu was immobilised, Kong Xuyang drew a bayonet from his side waist and leaned in sorrowfully towards Bai Liu.

Kong Xuyang imitated the false, calm smile on Bai Liu's face, and with undisguised resentment in his eyes, he aimed the bayonet at Bai Liu's heart with a vengeance.

"Let me teach you that losers and winners can't talk to each other at such a level-headed angle!"

Halfway through the bayonet thrust, Kong Xuyang's movements stopped abruptly, his bayonet stalled less than five centimetres in front of Bai Liu's heart, his hand trembling, but unable to thrust.

Bai Liu looked down at Kong Xuyang who was bowing, his body bent forward slightly and his smile deepened, "So you like to talk to me from a lowly angle with me looking down on you, hometown?"

"How could this ...... be?" Kong Xuyang was shocked and angry, and he looked incredulously at the wisps of black yin coming up from the tip of the bayonet blade.

The black Yin Qi sprawled into his palms one by one, zombifying his palms and making them as immobile as Bai Liu's.

Next to him, Yang Zhi slowly opens his hands, which are also covered in a black aura.

Sharp black nails began to grow on his hands and feet, and Yang Zhi touched his face in fear as he felt his hair growing thicker and shorter, growing unchecked.

It was like a dead man.

Yang Zhi let out a terrified scream as he tried to escape, but his body became clumsy and stiff as he was gradually zombifying, and struggled a few times, only to let his face fall into the muddy ground where the rain had just fallen, wriggling his hips but unable to get up.

"Only when both parties agree can one party pass Yin Qi to the other!" Kong Xuyang was frozen in place on the verge of collapse, "Why can you pass Yin Qi to me, I never agreed to it at all, it's not in accordance with the rules of Maoshan Daoism!"

"Is that so?" Bai Liu raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, cocking his head and moving his muscles, his smile growing more and more serene, "I just knew there were so many rules to Maoshan Daoism."

A rigid Kong Xuyang looked at Bai Liu, who was moving freely, and was furious: "Why can you move?!"

"Maybe it's because ......" Bai Liu stepped forward and gently withdrew the bayonet from Kong Xuyang's hand, he nonchalantly moved up to Kong Xuyang's eyes, looked at him levelly and whispered with a soft smile. "You and your good teammate, Yang Zhi, sucked all the Yin out of me?"

After hearing this, Kong Xuyang gave a start, and then looked down sharply. The wisps of black Yin Qi from Bai Liu's body were really moving from his own body to Kong Xuyang's and Yang Zhi's bodies. The bodies of Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi were like two black holes of Yin energy, continuously absorbing the Yin energy from Bai Liu's body.

As the yin energy passes, Bai Liu's originally pale face becomes more and more flushed, while Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi's sprouting fangs and the area around their eyes turn black.

"Many Old Xie Villagers took the initiative to help me suck up the Yin Qi." Bai Liu was all smiles and sincerely thanked him, "The Old Man's Yin energy was so strong that it was all given to me at once, if it wasn't for the kind help of the two old folks, I really wouldn't have lasted long before I turned into a zombie."

Kong Xuyang looked at Bai Liu with shock and fear, unable to understand: "Why would we actively suck the yin energy out of you?"

Bai Liu asked, as if surprised, "Don't you know, folks?"

Kong Xuyang is so angry at Bai Liu's posturing that the blood vessels in his eyes explode, his eyes are bloodshot, and his nose is puffing and panting.

Bai Liu then slowly asked, "Old villager, do you remember where all the Yin Qi of the corpses in the whole Yinshan village gathered?"

"The catacombs." Kong Xuyang replied through clenched teeth.

Bai Liu, with a little Buming smile on his face, said, "So who is the Yin energy gathering in the tomb?"

"That ashen Daoist zombie on ......" Kong Xuyang said to a beat, his face changed abruptly, "is borrowing yin wealth?!"

The smile on Bai Liu's face deepened, "Right."

"The whole Yin Mountain Village is a large tomb, and all the Yin energy fed in this tomb converges on that Daoist alone; wherever you borrow Yin energy to make money, you end up borrowing it from that Daoist."

"And that Taoist gave you all the Yin Qi ......" Kong Xuyang's face went instantly grey, "As long as the device we set up to borrow Yin Qi is still in place, and as long as you will give it, the Yin Qi will be borrowed from you to us ......"

Bai Liu smiled: "And as I am always generous, since the old folks like Yin energy, I will lend you all the Yin energy in my body."

Kong Xuyang's eyes were red, the skin on his body was getting more and more bruised, and his nails were getting longer and longer: "You deliberately lured me to rob your quest and borrow yin wealth, you already knew that there was something wrong with your character's main quest?!"

"There is no free lunch in the world, nor is there a perfect character set-up, since my character has the advantage of location and people, the main quest for this character must have some sort of flaw for the sake of fairness in the game." Bai Liu smiled as he regrettably spread his hands, "That's why I never dared to do it, but it was you, homeboy, who dared to be the first to do it for me and have someone to cover for me before I dared to try it myself."

Kong Xuyang's eyes were bloodshot as he roared hoarsely, " Bai Liu, you beast!!!"

[System Alert: Player Kong Xuyang's spirit level is decreasing rapidly ......31......17......9... ...Warning, warning, player Kong Xuyang is about to become a monster with a zero spirit level ......]

[System Alert: Player Silent Lamb's spirit value is decreasing dramatically ......27......19......6...... Warning, warning, player Yang Zhi is about to become a monster with zero spirit ......]

[Yang Zhi panel berserk, personal skill enhancement in progress ......]

Yang Zhi trembled as the memories of Bai Liu were digested in his belly within milliseconds, but as his spirit level dropped, Yang Zhi was instantly immersed in the illusion created by Bai Liu's memories.

He felt his feet cold and a strange burning sensation, as if they were in a bucket with some kind of icy water mixture, and someone was laughing loudly beside him: the

"Bad boys, Bai six ......"

The scene shifts to him sitting on the edge of a flower bed next to his high school playground, a Spades-like apparition crouched on one knee in front of him, the sound of volleyballs crashing and the noise of the crowd in the distance, but it is all very far away.

The Spades-like apparition is hugging his knees and tilting his head, staring at Bai Liu as if he is the only one left in the world.

Spades opens his mouth and asks seriously and softly, "Can I have one of those ice creams you're holding?"

Yang Zhi heard [Bai Liu] reject the other side clearly and coldly: "No."

Spades paused: "Can I switch with you then?"

[Bai Liu] As if raising a little interest, he leaned forward and lowered his eyes, "In exchange for what?"

Spades said, "In exchange for my newly born soul."

The scene shifts again.

Yang Zhi sits dizzily in the ward.

On the bed is Fang Dian, who is eating from a thermos, and on the two benches next to the bed are two grown men sitting as if in silence.

One of the men Yang Zhi recognises is Bai Liu, the other Yang Zhi looks a bit familiar, handsome, with his head bowed and not saying a word, a thick black circle around his eyes, and a strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from his body.

Fang Dian finished her meal in the thermos and wiped her mouth with toilet paper, reaching out to hold the man's shoulders without any shame: "Mr. Lu, come and help me, I need to go to the toilet."

Yang Zhi then realised that this was the man Bai Liu remembered as his childhood friend, Lu Yizhan.

Lu Yizhan helped Fang Dian to walk to the toilet with the bottle in his hand. Fang Dian limped towards the toilet and sighed: "Fuck, Mr. Lu, I'm not going to be a straight man, am I? Eat and shit ......"

"No, you're fine, your gastrointestinal function is fine, I've asked the doctor." Lu Yizhan replied softly.

"Ah, I asked the doctor about that too, and it won't affect our sex life." Fang Dian gave Lu Yizhan a thumbs up, smiling with white teeth, "I asked the doctor about that right after I woke up from the anaesthetic!"

Lu Yizhan, all red in the face, forced himself to calmly put his arm around Fang Dian and went into the toilet: "...... Next time you can ask something else you're worried about."

Fang Dian's justified voice came out of the toilet, "That's what I was worried about, I haven't slept with you more than a few times ...... Well."

It sounds like Lu Yizhan has covered Fang Dian's mouth.

The corners of Bai Liu's mouth seemed to tickle for a moment as he sat in the room, and then quickly dropped.

The sound of the toilet flushing came from the toilet and Fang Dian came out with Lu Yizhan on her back, holding him in her arms and looking pale.

She hurt her abdomen and every time she went to the toilet she pulled on the wound and it was painful.

But when Bai Liu came to see her, she never once showed it.

"No more blood in the stool." Fang Dian leaned back against the back of the hospital bed and exhaled with relief, patting her bandaged belly, "I'll be out in a few days."

Lu Yizhan was frightened by her movements and stood up to stop her: "You should stop tapping the wound!"

Fang Dian waved her hand indifferently, "It's not a big wound, not really."

Bai Liu suddenly spoke up, "It's certain to affect fertility, isn't it?"

Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan both pause in their movements.

Bai Liu dropped her eyes, averted her gaze and spoke, "It's my-"

Fang Dian sat up propped up on the pillows, stretched her body out from the side of the bed and hugged Bai Liu, who was avoiding her eyes, as hard as she could: "It's not your fault!"

"It was the fault of the person who hit me, the fault of my rash actions, the fault of the weather, the fault of the wind, the fault of all the chance in the world that led me to where I am now." Fang Dian's face was pale, but her voice was firm, "but it's not your fault."

"I was the one who had to save you, you didn't do anything wrong, don't apologise to me."

Bai Liu opened his mouth gently, "...... count me as owing you a favour."

"Come on, when have we ever counted favours since high school?" Fang Dian rolled her eyes and she laughed out loud, propping herself up and laying back down again.

As if she suddenly thought of something, she looked at Bai Liu for a moment and then suddenly reached out and touched Bai Liu's head with a slightly wistful expression on her face, "Eh, if you really want to say that you really owe me, you don't owe me a favour, you owe me something else."

Bai Liu swept her off her feet, "Owe you what?"

"I'm owed a son." Fang Dian reached out and patted Bai Liu's face, tugging at the flesh on his cheeks, and said with a smile, "Bai Liu, give me a son, I like kids like you."
