In the study room, boys and girls are drawing.

Li Zhuiyuan started writing faster because he only had to copy the image of the Taoist priest.

Ali needs to perform a certain degree of artistic processing based on the boy's description.

After the young man finished painting, he put down his pen, stood by the painting table, and stared at the Taoist carefully.

Although the Taoist's hair was messy and covered his face, the Taoist robes on his body and the multi-layered cloth shoes on his feet looked very clean, and this cleanliness was not only reflected in the absence of dirt.

The Taoist in the painting is moving forward, with his left foot stepping forward, revealing the sole of the shoe. The sole is very white and the neat stitches can be seen.

The yellow robe, the collar and cuffs are also very smooth, without any rough edges.

Even the bell held in his right hand and the red and yellow knots at the hem are so fresh and delicate.

These are brand new clothes, shoes and magical instruments...

Therefore, we can boldly guess that the body of this corpse exorcist should have been buried somewhere, and all the burial supplies were new.

Even though Granny Yu appeared thickly smeared with makeup, she could still feel like a "blind lady". Facts have proved that the only thing missing from her clay sculpture was a pair of eyes that have not yet recovered.

When the big fish takes the bait, the fish's body will rot and fester, which is also a manifestation of its real state.

The five Yin gods, except for the pig, are all seriously injured. Only the pig can't see any wounds; firstly, it shows that among their five states, the pig is the best; secondly, it also shows that the pig is in these five states.

The dominant position among the Yin beasts, and the side profile implies that the other four figures were forcibly pulled out by this pig.

Therefore, the images presented by those things in Ali's dream are in contrast with their actual state.

So, here comes the problem.

Since this corpse exorcist can appear in Ali's dream, it means that he has a "fatal friendship" with the former Dragon King.

But he was buried with dignity.

There are only two things that could cause this to happen.

One possibility is that although the Dragon King suppressed him at first, he still felt sympathy for him or had some past issues, so he arranged for him to be properly buried.

Another possibility is that although the Dragon King suppressed him, someone took his body back and disposed of it properly, including finding a tomb for burial.

The former is unlikely, because an opponent who has this kind of friendship with the Dragon King, even if he dies at the hands of the Dragon King, he probably won't do the nasty thing of coming to bully an orphan girl.

Unless he came out this time for another purpose.

Just like the big fish last time, the man did not come out of the fog to provoke, but wanted to use the power of the Dragon King to find an opportunity to die together with Yu Xuzi.

Moreover, the corpse exorcist came out on his own initiative when the river was not pushing him and other beings in the white mist did not dare to show their faces.

Based on these considerations, it is really difficult to preset the position label of the corpse exorcist at the moment.

Another possibility is easy to understand, that is, this person still has a legacy faction, and if you want to deal with him, you have to fight against his current descendants.

Li Zhuiyuan would rather choose this possibility. The positions of both parties are clear, and the nature of the incident is also clear. Everyone has a very simple purpose and is trying their best to kill the other party.

But reality is not like the popular TV series nowadays. When good guys and bad guys appear on the stage, their appearance can be clearly seen.

When my grandfather sometimes watches TV with Runsheng, the most common question he asks is: "Is this a good person or a bad person?"

Granny Yu is not a human being at all, nor is Big Fish or the recent pig.

But this corpse exorcist...is really a human being.

Wei Zhengdao emphatically mentioned in "Jiang Hu Zhi Wei Lu" that evil cultivators become dead after death and are the most difficult to deal with.

Not only can he understand your methods, but he also knows some of your own methods in life, and he can even play tricks on you.

Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes, wiped away all the complex logic that had just formed in his mind, and looked for the main contradiction first.

When he opened his eyes again, the boy's vision was much clearer.

Regardless of whether you are good or bad, whether there is something unspeakable or a hidden meaning, since you appeared in Ali's dream, since I plan to use you as an experimental subject and actively create a causal line to get closer to you...

Then my ultimate goal is to kill you completely, that's right.

As for whether you will feel relieved and finally freed in the end, or whether you will become angry and unwilling to give up, this is a matter for later. It is another seasoning "added" when everyone eats barbecue around the oven after an incident is completed.

Li Zhuiyuan did not see the "corpse" behind the corpse exorcist, so he did not draw it. However, Li Zhuiyuan noted the details of the yellow paper money that the other party threw out.

Moreover, I enlarged and traced the two corners of the scroll separately, and drew a pair of front and back sides respectively.

Due to different customs and habits in different places, the design of paper money is also very different.

Although the "Heaven and Earth Bank" money has become popular, it is not yet mainstream and has only been around for a short time.

The paper money here in Nantong is mainly square yellow paper. When going to eat at a white banquet, close relatives will usually buy a piece of vertically tied yellow paper and take it as a gift.

Many families in the village also put this yellow paper in the toilet basket and use it as a toilet paper.

Because it has a better texture than newspaper, is thicker and not easy to break, and has no holes in the middle.

From the design point of view, paper money in many other places really looks like "copper coins", and each has its own customs and traditions in terms of color, specifications, etc.

In some places that are more sophisticated, there will be printing on the paper money.

Fortunately, the paper money thrown away by the Taoist exorcists had words printed on it.

The reason why Li Zhuiyuan chose two jiao to draw paper money is because there are two kinds of paper money, which are exactly the same in style and design, but with different fonts.

On the front and back of the paper money in the left corner are written: Yin people go on the road, Yang people stay out of the way.

The front and back of the paper money in the right corner are written respectively: Reward for the family, thank you for the little ghost.

These two kinds of paper money should be staggered and stacked together. When scattering paper money, both should be scattered together.

The piece of paper money on the left has a very simple meaning, it is a kind of notification.

The tradition of corpse chasers is to go on the road at night, because it is easy to disturb people during the day and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, people who are generally engaged in this industry are generally considered unlucky by the world. They themselves are too lazy to join the mainstream and prefer to stay low-key.

This is very similar to the fact that there are not many outsiders visiting Taiye's house on weekdays.

Even now, as employees of public funeral homes, when they go out to introduce their work to strangers, they often encounter sexual looks.

But the words on the paper money on the right don't sound right.

Jiejia rewards, this points out the lintel.

Thank you little devil, this points out the dignity and inferiority.

It shows that the Jie family has a very important position on the "Yin Yang Road". It is no longer a matter of asking the little devils not to cause trouble on the road, but I will reward you with some money and get out of my way if you are wise.

Daring to print such words proves that the Jie family's status is real, and it is by no means a good feeling about oneself.

Because those who work in this industry are most taboo about this, they generally keep their attitude low, and only say seven points to others if they can do ten points, for fear that the wind will flash their tongues.

If you don't have this real background, if you dare to throw away this paper money, just wait for those dirty people to come to your door and kill your whole family.

This is also the reason why the word "walking across the river" is exclusive to the Dragon King family.

In the literary and art circle, people in the circle can entertain themselves and flatter each other, without any shame.

Throughout the ages, no one in Xuanmen has played like this, but then they all sank to the bottom of the river.

"Jiejia?"

If you have a lintel, things will be much easier to handle, and you won't have to look for a needle in a haystack.

Li Zhuiyuan's fingertips gently touched his temples. There were really two records in his mind that were consistent with the Jie family.

This article originated from the travel notes of an ancestor of the Yin family included in the Yin family tree. When he was traveling, he stayed at an inn on the outskirts of Dayong City at night.

In the evening, a corpse driver brought guests to stay.

Normal inns would naturally not dare to stay with corpse chasers, but some inns have such special backgrounds, and... some inns may be so bad that they can no longer operate, and bankruptcy is more terrifying than corpses.

The innkeeper held up a lamp at night and told other guests staying overnight not to go out before dawn, implying that corpse chasers were coming to stay.

The ancestor of the Yin family was not among them. Not only did he go out, he also went to find the corpse driver. The two drank and chatted, and became "mutual confidants."

Li Zhuiyuan feels that the "mutual confidants" here are very important.

Because since Yin Changsheng, the family's strength and status have plummeted in a straight line for two thousand years.

However, Yin Changsheng was so famous, and he was vaguely the deity of Fengdu Emperor, so when the Yin family traveled in the past generations, they could always get together to drink and have dinner with each other regardless of their ancestors.

No matter how old the other party is, no matter whether you are qualified to talk to the Yin family at the moment, you will still give Yin Changsheng some face.

Therefore, the travel notes of the ancestors of the Yin family are really interesting, because they can always get into the high-end games.

For example, the corpse chaser who was regarded as a confidant by the ancestor of the Yin family, his surname was Jie.

But it is a pity that the ancients wrote things briefly. The ancestor of the Yin family just told this experience as a small episode and did not describe it in detail.

Therefore, the only thing Li Zhuiyuan can know from this record is that he is a person who will read records in later generations:

He went to Dayong to reconcile with the corpse exorcists, had a drink and bragged all night long.

Dayong is now Zhangjiajie.

Another record in my mind comes from Wei Zhengdao's "Jianghu Zhiguailu", in which he recorded a dead body transformed by an evil cultivator. This dead body's last name was Xie, Jie, Bu, Wang, and

They are called the four major corpse-expelling families of Laotianmen.
