Just then, Lao Dao called out to Zhang Yongnian.
My heart skipped a beat. Could the container Zhang Yongning was talking about be He Feilong?
If that's really the case, it's really messing with your mindset.
Putting aside the fact that He Feilong is a ticking time bomb, even if he can't harm me, I still feel uneasy leaving Fatty's remnant soul there.
"Even if I have a grudge against Leng Gou, I wouldn't do such a thing!"
Zhang Yongnian gave a brief response, then turned around and pulled us away.
On the way back, I kept thinking about what exactly the container Zhang Yongnian was talking about was.
I originally thought Zhang Yongnian would continue to lead us deeper into the tunnel, but to my surprise, he led us back the way we came.
"Senior! Weren't we supposed to be looking for a container?"
I have some doubts.
Does Zhang Yongnian have other plans?
If that's the case, then we need to talk about it.
"Didn't you already bring the container?"
I thought you knew?
Zhang Yongnian let out a strange, lewd laugh.
It seems to be referring to something.
In that instant, I think I understood. The container Zhang Yongnian was referring to was the old lady!
"Senior, the container you're talking about isn't the old lady, is it?"
My mouth twitched; if that were the case, it would be even more of a mess.
"Otherwise what? I thought you knew!"
Zhang Yongnian snorted coldly.
"You keep that woman by your side just to serve as a vessel, don't you?"
Zhang Yongnian asked a question in return.
I quickly shook my head.
Are you kidding me? Although I knew before that the old lady was just a container for survival.
But I never thought about it that way.
Using a living person as a container is such a crazy idea that I can't think of it or do it.
"You really don't know?"
Seeing me shake my head in confusion, Zhang Yongnian quickly moved closer to me.
I gave Zhang Yongnian a bitter smile and told him that I really didn't know anything about these things.
After hearing what I said, Zhang Yongnian's expression was very complicated: "Strange, really strange!"
"Even though none of these things were arranged by you, they still happened by such a coincidence!"
It's as if an invisible hand is pushing things from behind!
Zhang Yongnian raised a question.
He also felt there was something wrong with the matter.
Not only Zhang Yongnian, but I also have this feeling.
It's as if with every step taken, a pusher behind pushes the other side forward.
"Does the senior think so too? I've thought so for a long time!"
I gave a wry smile. When I first entered the fox village, I felt like I was being controlled.
This feeling is even stronger now.
Whether it's an old man, an older woman, or anything else, it's always the same.
Every person or situation I encounter is able to perfectly solve my current problem.
For example, this time, I needed a container, and the old lady just happened to serve as one.
As for Lao Dao, he was even more crucial. Without Lao Dao's help, I probably wouldn't have been able to awaken my Heavenly Eye.
You get what you're missing; coincidences are possible, but not this extreme!
Zhang Yongnian did not reply. We then returned to the room, and by then the master craftsman had already subdued the old lady.
"Alright, let's begin the soul manipulation ritual!"
Zhang Yongnian spoke expressionlessly, then waved his hand and closed the door. I was also pulled to the very center by a suction force.
The older woman looked at me pitifully, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word.
I was a little nervous.
"This is something you must go through. If you don't take this step, how will you learn powerful secret techniques?"
Zhang Yongnian must have sensed my vulnerability, so he patted me on the shoulder and began to comfort me.
I shook my head. I didn't have a soul to begin with, and I never had human emotions.
"Let's begin, senior. I'm ready!"
I stepped forward and stood in front of the older woman, while turning back to signal to Zhang Yongnian that we could begin.
Old Dao still stood guard beside me like a bodyguard.
Zhang Yongnian and the master craftsman simultaneously set up a formation, chanting incantations.
At this moment, the woman's consciousness began to gradually fade.
I could feel something being sucked out of my body by a powerful suction force.
That was a thought, a thought that belonged to the middle-aged woman!
"Don't think about anything, it's almost over!"
Just as I was about to resist, Zhang Yongnian and the old master spoke at the same time.
I suppressed my inner turmoil and followed their advice to close my eyes.
Since we can't resist, we might as well enjoy it.
I don't know how much time passed, but then the old master came over with a cool sensation in my body.
"Alright, silly boy, open your eyes!"
The old master patted my neck, and I turned around and opened my eyes to look at him.
The layout was completely different from before. I looked around and the old lady was nowhere to be seen.
"Seniors, where did the young lady go?"
Looking at the traces on the ground that had long been cleared away, I felt a little disappointed.
No matter what, the older woman was one of my companions. It still hurts me a little to see her disappear completely right in front of me.
I don't know when it started, but I've developed these kinds of emotions that ordinary people have.
"Of course, he should go to where he belongs!"
