"What are you still standing there for? You are too polite. You got up in the middle of the night and took my cousin for a walk."
Under Zhong Ningxue's teasing expression, the two of them were simply filled with shame and anger.
"Put the people back and go wherever they need to go!"
"Okay, okay..."
The two showed good self-management skills, tied up each other, sealed each other's cultivation, and then walked into the carriage step by step.
He didn't even forget to close the door.
"It's so comfortable."
Zhou Tong woke up at an early hour, his eyes looking deep.
Although he did not arrive at the Li family last night, he still made a mark so that he could go there in person and purify that piece of pure land whenever he had free time.
The so-called path of cultivation is to be cautious, to grasp both sides and to be strong in both, and to prepare two plans to be safe.
"You are such a lucky guy!"
Before Zhou Tong could even stretch his body, he was slapped hard on the back.
Li Xinrou said carelessly, "You were sleeping too soundly. If it wasn't for Sister Xue's foresight to place a ban on you, you would have been stolen by now!"
"Then I really have to thank my cousin." Zhou Tong raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
“No, no…”
Zhong Ningxue waved her hands. She was too afraid of this expression.
Master smiled, something bad happened.
"Let me tell you, even though you are my cousin, you really have to kowtow to your cousin in this situation!"
Seeing that Zhou Tong was not annoyed, Li Xinrou started joking again.
Hearing this, Zhong Ningxue broke out in a sweat.
…
At noon, the convoy finally arrived at its destination.
Across the distance, Zhou Tong could see a vast manor.
This manor is ancient, heavy and dilapidated, as if it has experienced the invasion of time and has stood here for thousands of years.
Such a scene made him frown.
It has been less than twenty years since Li Xinrou's lineage was degraded to this point, but it feels like two thousand years have passed!
When the convoy approached, Zhou Tong and Zhong Ningxue were startled by the plaque that came into their sight.
"The Mu family...shouldn't it be the Li family?"
Zhong Ningxue asked without thinking.
Hearing this, Li Xinrou gave a bitter smile.
"Back then, we were framed and labeled as criminals. Not only were we expelled from the family, but our surname was also taken away from us."
"The character 'wood' means Li has lost a son, which means he will have no offspring and no descendants, and his family line will end there!"
"That's too much!"
Zhong Ningxue was filled with righteous indignation and secretly clenched her fists.
"A tree planted accidentally grows into a shade, and a thousand trees bloom in front of a dead tree!"
Zhou Tong smiled and said, "I think this tree has not withered yet. It still has vitality. It will surely sprout new buds and become more youthful in the future!"
"Haha... Then I'll borrow your good words, cousin!"
Li Xinrou forced a smile and ordered someone to open the door.
"Welcome home, young lady!"
The Li family's guards showed great enthusiasm, forming a team and making a great show.
"Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to your blessing, we are safe and sound during this trip!"
She comforted everyone and whispered to Zhou Tong and the others, "Cousin, I beg for forgiveness first. If you feel uncomfortable after entering the family, tell me immediately!"
"Sister, you are joking. Could it be that there is a den of dragons and tigers in there?"
Zhong Ningxue said indifferently, but the next moment her expression changed.
Just because after entering the door, everything around you has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The originally bright sky turned gray, and the cold wind blew, turning the fallen leaves into ashes, which fluttered in the air like human bone powder flying all over the sky.
What's even more terrifying is that coffins can be seen in the front yard of the Li family at all times. Zhou Tong used his mental power to investigate and found that they were filled with unburied people. However, their bodies had not decayed and still retained the appearance they had when they were alive.
"Sister... do you really have to live here? And why don't you bury these people?"
Zhong Ningxue immediately showed an uncomfortable expression. Even though she was the saint of the Sky Dragon Clan, she could not stand this kind of shock.
On the contrary, Zhou Tong kept a calm expression, as if this scene was no big deal in his eyes.
"Cousin, you don't know that we settled here under the guidance of an expert. He said that if we can persist, there will be a turning point."
"The reason why we don't bury these people is to wait for them to come back again!"
Zhong Ningxue opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Is this so-called master serious?"
"I have no idea."
Li Xinrou shook her head in pain. "In just a dozen years, countless of my elders, brothers and sisters have passed away. Now my grandfather has also suffered a disaster and is dying. I don't know when the turning point will come!"
She felt a little numb, and her eyes were full of bitterness.
"It's strange that they are immortal. They built their family on the Eye of the Underworld, and it's a living Eye of the Underworld. I think it's a rare miracle that so many of them are still alive!"
Zhou Tong's body paused as he heard the voice of the imperial soldiers.
"What is the Yellow Spring Eye?"
"Do I even need to ask? Of course it's the passage that leads directly to the underworld, which is what you humans often call the underworld!"
"Are you saying that right under our feet is where the dead go?"
Zhou Tong widened his eyes. This time he was really shocked.
"That's not wrong, but this hell is private, and it can accommodate the dead, but it's not formal, and it can't realize the reincarnation cycle!"
"Can hell be privately established?"
"I'm surprised by all the things I've seen so far. The only main hell is in charge of the underworld and reincarnation. The dead who enter it can be reincarnated normally, and all the procedures are complete.
"Most of these hells beneath Huangquan are naturally formed, but they also vary in quality!"
"Some high-ranking ones even gave birth to wild kings, and they hold some power and can dominate the cycle of life and death in a certain area!"
"You have quite a wide range of knowledge!"
After hearing these secrets, Zhou Tong spoke with some admiration.
"Need I tell you? Back then, I followed the emperor into the main hell, swept away all the Yanluo, and forced them to kneel and pay homage to me. How domineering was that!"
At this point, even the sound of the mirror became much sadder.
"Since you know this is a dangerous place, why would Li Xinrou's lineage want to settle down here?"
After Zhou Tong asked this question, the mirror was silent for a moment.
"Maybe... they are waiting for you to come?"
"When things get tough, they will eventually turn around. When the turning point comes, that will be the day when good times finally come!"
"You are the turning point, so please don't let others down."
After saying this, the mirror fell silent!
"This guy!"
Zhou Tong shook his head, having already adapted to the environment here.
"Oh my... I thought someone had come back!"
Suddenly, an extremely harsh voice came from the front.
I saw a fat and greasy woman in a yellow shirt standing in front of the owner's residence, looking down at everyone in the convoy.
Seeing this scene, Li Xinrou's face immediately darkened.
"Who sent you here, you running dogs of the master's family?"
