"嘁~"

"What are you bragging about? It's just a sorcery that can extend one's life. What's so great about it?"

"I just don't want to do such a thing that is against the will of heaven. If I really delve into this unconventional technique, what will happen to the monks in the Vajra Zen Temple?"

After Na Kongzhen left, Zhao Degang smacked his lips and complained towards the door.

Wang Zhennan looked up at the dying Chen Qiaoer, and immediately asked Zhao Degang, "Master Zhao, what should we do next?"

Zhao Degang shrugged and said, "What else can we do? Of course we clean up the scene and leave."

Hearing this, Wang Zhennan was stunned for a moment: "Leave? Don't we need to silence her? This girl just saw the faces of the three of us. If we keep her, what if she exposes us?"

Zhao Degang waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Don't worry about this. This child's life has been borrowed by someone. She will die in less than half an hour. No one can save her..."

Wang Zhennan was still a little hesitant: "But what if her poor father comes back in half an hour?"

Zhao Degang smiled and said, "Come back if you want. Haven't you already investigated him? He's just a poor guy with no background. Can't you deal with him in Hangzhou?"

At this point, Zhao Degang paused for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and continued, "Besides, we in Taoism believe in cause and effect. The two of us have helped that great man Li to participate in this matter, which has already caused a lot of cause and effect. If we help that monk to silence him, the karma we will suffer will be very heavy..."

"Okay, then let's do as you wish, Taoist Zhao."

Wang Zhennan nodded in response, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and immediately dialed a number.

He asked the person on the other end of the phone to go to a place and block someone.

No matter what method is used, that person must not be able to return home within two hours.

Although Wang Zhennan did not mention the name of the person who was blocked on the phone.

But Chen Li knew very well in his heart that the person was talking about him.

Because that night, on his way home from get off work, he met a group of young people riding ghost-light trams.

The young men blocked the road that he had to take to get home, saying they wanted to use the road to compete in driving skills, and it would take more than an hour before they let him go.

He didn't dare to cause trouble at the time, so he just waited there for almost two hours.

Until those will-o'-the-wisp youths left on their own initiative.

Only then did he drag his tired body back home.

At that time, he thought that those will-o'-the-wisp youths just happened to be gathering there.

but……

After hearing Wang Zhennan’s call at this moment.

He just understood.

It turned out that those young men with ghost fire who had blocked his way for nearly two hours were also sent by Wang Zhennan.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

"Haha~"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing this, Chen Li suddenly laughed out loud.

But his laughter sounded even uglier than crying, as if Li Gui was roaring, and even his voice was hoarse.

"I was so stupid that I didn't even think of the worst at that time..."

"If I had been able to ignore those people's obstruction and insisted on going home, maybe... maybe I could have seen Qiao'er for the last time..."

Chen Li clenched his fists and stared at Wang Zhennan and Zhao Degang who were still in the room. He wished he could rush up and eat them alive.

And at the same time.

Wang Zhennan, who was packing up to leave, suddenly felt something.

He looked around the room in a panic, then swallowed his saliva and asked Zhao Degang in a low voice: "Master Zhao, do you really not feel that someone is watching us?"

"No……"

Zhao Degang put away the yellow talisman that was posted in the room and said with a smile: "City Lord Wang, if you are really scared, come back to the Taoist temple with me this time. I will prescribe a prescription for you to replenish your Yang energy. Then you will not be targeted by those dirty things."

Hearing what Zhao Degang said, Wang Zhennan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

After packing up their things, the two left immediately.

Chen Li looked back at Chen Qiaoer who was about to die, gritted his teeth, and prepared to go out and take a look.

But at this moment.

A sneaky figure suddenly climbed into the house from the window behind him. Chen Li's face changed.

Looking back, a familiar face suddenly came into view.

It’s the guy who claims to be the [Maoshan Taoist Priest]!

When Chen Li set his eyes on the other person.

The other party also looked towards him subconsciously.

At the moment our eyes met.

Chen Li suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

Hongjun!

This guy actually has the aura of Hongjun!

Could it be that this old guy is the incarnation of Hongjun?

Thinking back to what Hongjun had said before, Chen Li couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He remembered that Hongjun once said that his life was a chessboard controlled by him.

Everyone he met in his life, everything he did, including those he killed along the way, were all under the other party's control.

It is very likely that his life was designed by Hongjun from the very beginning.

Maybe it's from the moment he turned into a zombie!
Maybe it was the moment of birth.

Thinking hard.

This Hongjun is really terrifying.

The old Taoist priest seemed to sense Chen Li's presence!

But it seemed that I didn’t feel anything specific.

He just kept his gaze on Chen Li for a while, and soon looked at Chen Qiaoer again.

Then, he stretched out two fingers and lightly touched Chen Qiaoer's forehead.

Following a flash of white light.

Chen Qiaoer, who was still gasping for breath, suddenly became motionless.

Chen Qiaoer is dead.

He died at the hands of this old Taoist priest who had a close relationship with Hongjun.

"Do not--"

Chen Li held his head and screamed.

That hysterical shout seemed to be able to pass through time and space and fall directly into the past.

And when the old Taoist priest pulled his finger back.

Chen Li also discovered that the other party had taken something from Chen Qiaoer.

After doing all this.

The old Taoist priest did not stay here for long. He turned around and climbed out of the window again.

Chen Li was just about to go over to check on his daughter.

The result is the next second.

The scene around him changed again.

This time, he came to a more remote cemetery.

Here, he saw two familiar faces again.

One is Li Tianci.

One is Maoshan’s purple-robed celestial master, Shi Xuan.

The two were currently directing a group of people to dig a simple tomb.

Chen Li felt that this place looked familiar. As he moved closer, his eyes were instantly attracted by the words on the tombstone.

[Tomb of my beloved wife Dou Dongmei]!
This turned out to be his wife's tomb.
