At this time, Lin Yuan asked Lin Mo, "Brother, how much do you know about Mr. Chunfeng?"

"Not much, but I know that he is a powerful person, and he seems to want to become an immortal. He built several ghost towns, and it seems that he wants to do this."

Lin Mo was talking about the miniature model of the Three Realms found at Qianlong Palace.

If you think about it carefully, the Hall of Yama is included in the model of the Three Realms.

Could it be related to this place?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded.

"You are right, he really wants to become an immortal, and he has already reached the point of being insane."

Many people in ancient times wanted to live forever, hold great power, and possess supreme authority.

Of course, this kind of thing is not only what ancient people think about, but modern people also like it.

There are many people who have ideas, but only a few can actually keep moving towards their goals. Chance, ability, will, state of mind, and luck are all essential.

"To be fair, Mr. Chunfeng is definitely the best person of all time."

Lin Yuan gave such an evaluation.

"But his desires have also expanded over time. In order to become the kind of person he wanted to be, he has destroyed several cities over the past few hundred years. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died at his hands."

This number made Lin Mo's scalp tingle.

He suddenly thought of the ghost towns created by Mr. Chunfeng.

This thing doesn't seem to be built in a nightmare world, but more like an ancient city projected from the real world. Could the ghosts inside be real people? "I only found out about this later. That day he summoned me and told me something important. I was going to find him on time, but I ran into trouble on the way. Not only was I delayed for a while, but I was also harassed and possessed by an evil spirit. Fortunately, I was able to save my life."

"That day, the ghost town was particularly quiet..."

Lin Yuan walked in the dark alley. He had already gotten used to the environment here.

Most of the houses here are not accessible.

Because almost all the doors were locked with talismans pasted on them. It wasn't because there were no people inside, there were people in every house, but they were all ghosts, each more ferocious than the other.

Lin Yuan didn't know why the residents of the ghost town were so resentful.

Mr. Chunfeng didn't say it, but he did remind people not to open any house that was locked and had talismans pasted on it without permission.

During his time here, Lin Yuan was very obedient.

The alley he was walking along was very long.

You will pass by about twenty houses on both sides of the road.

Some are so large that they take up several rooms.

Some are small, with only one shabby room.

But without exception, the houses on both sides of the alley were pasted with talismans and locked.

The alley was very narrow, eerie, and difficult to walk through, with several steps to climb. When Lin Yuan first arrived, he would not have dared to walk this way.

But now he is familiar with it, he has walked through this alley countless times, so he hums a tune, puts his hands behind his back, and strolls leisurely in the garden. As he walks, he greets the "residents" who are locked in the houses on both sides.

Of course, it was all unilateral greetings from him, and he didn't know what the other person's original name was, so he gave the other person a name and a nickname.

The fatter one is called Fat Brother; the thinner one is called Stick Brother; the bald one is called Monk; and the one holding a pot is called Pot Auntie.

Lin Yuan greeted everyone as he walked.

But just halfway through, he was stunned.

Why is the door of the Tanghulu house in front open?

It was a shabby wooden house. When passing by on weekdays, one could see through the tattered window paper that there was a person making candied haws inside, so Lin Yuan named the ghost in this house Tanghulu.

Tanghulu should be a middle-aged man, but we don’t know what he looks like because he has his back to the door, concentrating on making syrup.

The prepared candied haws were placed on the chopping board next to them, and they looked quite sweet.

Lin Yuan likes to eat candy.

Kids love it.

So every time he passed by, he would look carefully at the window for a while. Not only would he look, he would also chat with the candied haws inside.

Of course, the other party never gave any response.

Chunfeng first said that most of the residents in the ghost town were evil spirits that were difficult to educate. They were extremely vicious and cruel and it was impossible to communicate with them.

But Lin Yuan still likes to talk to them.

Especially with Tanghulu, what he talks the most is him talking and the other person listening.

The content of the chat was also a mess, jumping around according to Lin Yuan's thoughts, and there was no structure, but the other party would not say that he didn't understand or didn't want to listen.

As a listener, Tanghulu has definitely reached the pinnacle.

Maybe it doesn't understand at all.

No matter how much Lin Yuan said, it was like talking to a cow.

Lin Yuan himself knew it well, but in this eerie and silent ghost town, he had to do something to kill time. If no one was talking, he could talk to the ghosts.

You can't suffocate yourself to death.

Tanghulu’s haunted house is usually locked and covered with talismans.

But today, the door lock was gone, the door was wide open, and a gust of evil energy spread out from inside. If you smelled it carefully, there was a faint smell of caramel.

Smells good.

Although it smelled good, Lin Yuan was a little panicked at this time.

The main reason was that Mr. Chunfeng had told him a lot about the evil spirits here before, many stories, very scary. And the talismans and door locks were the things that sealed off the evil spirits.

Now that these two things are gone, does that mean that the evil spirit has come out?

Lin Yuan stopped and prepared to go back and take a detour.

Safety first.

So he stared at the haunted house of Tanghulu and backed away.

The door was wide open, and I didn't know whether Tanghulu was still in the room or had already come out.

As he was thinking, Lin Yuan felt someone bumping into him from behind.

He stopped.

My whole body stiffened.

At this moment, all he smelled in his nose was the smell of caramel, which was stronger than before.

What's behind me? Lin Yuan's mind was a little confused, but fortunately, he had been training with Mr. Chunfeng for a while, so he had some experience and was much braver.

He knew that some ghosts had taboos.

The most taboo thing when walking along the road is to look back.

Especially when you are sure there is something behind you.

Because if the thing behind you wanted to attack you, it would have done it long ago, it wouldn't stand there to scare you.

Since the other party is standing still, it means that you are safe for the time being, or you have not violated the other party's taboos.

The smartest thing to do is not to move.

If you don't move, you won't break the taboo. If you look back, nine out of ten things will be bad.

Many people die at this point.

At this moment, Lin Yuan kept Mr. Chunfeng's teachings in mind, so he suppressed his curiosity and fear and did not look back.

He just stood there in the same position.

The wind in the alley seemed to have stopped, making it unusually quiet here.

In this situation, any slight noise can be heard, and it is louder than usual.

Da! Lin Yuan heard a sound.

It sounded like some sticky liquid dripping onto the ground.

And this voice was right behind him.

"No, you can't turn back."

Lin Yuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to look back. He was in a stalemate, feeling very uneasy. He knew there was a ghost behind him, but he couldn't look back. He didn't know what the ghost was doing.

It's absolute torture.

At the same time, Lin Yuan was secretly and slowly moving his hands, and he slowly pulled out a talisman from his sleeve.

Following Mr. Chunfeng over the years, he naturally learned a lot of skills.

The talisman in his hand is a ghost-killing talisman.

There is an extremely strong resentment inside. Once a talisman is thrown out, it is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a vicious ghost, which can usually knock the opponent to the ground.

At worst, it can delay for a while and give you a chance to escape.

Holding the ghost-killing talisman in his hand, Lin Yuan felt much more at ease.

He has solved many difficult problems with Mr. Chunfeng over the years and is naturally much stronger than ordinary people. At this moment, he is silently reciting scriptures in his heart, calming his mind, and preparing to roll forward for a surprise attack.

But at this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Lin Yuan shuddered.

This hand is too cold.

Like a piece of ice on your shoulder.

The situation was not good. The ghost behind him was planning to take action. Lin Yuan's heart was pounding as he prepared to take action.

But the next moment, a candied haws with a caramel smell was handed to him from behind.

This completely stunned Lin Yuan.

Tanghulu! The ghost behind him is Tanghulu, but why would the other party hand him a ready-made Tanghulu?

Shouldn't it attack directly? Or is giving the candied haws the way this evil ghost attacks?

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Yuan heard a voice in his ear.

"Eat...whatever...you like...eat it!"

His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying very hard to say these words.

No ill intention.

Not even resentment.

Lin Yuan could feel it.

At this time, he made an extremely bold move and turned his head to look.

He saw the front of the candied haws.

It was a pale face.

Very scary.

Lin Yuan didn't even throw out the ghost-killing talisman in his hand.

He and Tanghulu stared at each other for a long time, and after realizing that the other party did not have any ill intentions, he finally realized why he came out . "Go back quickly, otherwise Mr. Chunfeng will definitely kill you if he finds out."

Lin Yuan said hurriedly.

Since the other party has no ill intentions, Lin Yuan will still treat Tanghulu as a "friend".

"Eat, eat."

Tanghulu kept repeating this word.

Lin Yuan took a look at the candied haws in the other person's hand. They were made very well, with a strong caramel flavor. They looked very clean, just like what he saw in a regular roadside shop.

Even better.

This time Lin Yuan reached out to take it, and Tanghulu was still staring at it, as if he wanted to watch Lin Yuan eat it.

"Let me try it."

Lin Yuan has been following Mr. Chunfeng for many years, and has never eaten any delicious food, so he is greedy.

Since the candied haws didn't have any malicious intent, he took a tentative bite.

Very delicious.

The outer shell of the rock candy is crispy and very sweet; the hawthorn inside is soft and sour.

The mixture of sour and sweet blended into a unique taste that lifted Lin Yuan's spirits.

But the next moment, he felt something was wrong.

The body is out of control.

At that moment, Lin Yuan realized that he was possessed by an evil spirit.

But the evil spirit didn't seem to have any ill will towards him. It stretched its body for a while and then continued to move forward.

Lin Yuan wanted to ask.

The mouth is out of control.

He could only watch.

He was a little panicked at first, and Lin Yuan reflected on himself, wondering why he couldn't control his mouth. The candied haws was given by an evil spirit, so there was obviously something wrong with it. How could he just eat it?

But I have already eaten it, and there is no point in talking about it or reflecting on it now.

There was nothing he could do at the moment and he could only watch and see what the evil spirit that possessed him was going to do.

I also thought that since we were delayed on the road for such a long time, Mr. Chunfeng must be waiting anxiously.

The agreed time has passed, and I will definitely be scolded when the time comes.

At this time, Lin Yuan felt fortunate again.

He thought about it carefully and felt that being possessed by an evil spirit was not such a bad thing. This would give him a good excuse to be late, and Mr. Chunfeng would not be able to blame him.

See, it's not that I'm unpunctual, it's that I'm possessed.

On the way, Lin Yuan had already thought of what to say when the time comes.

But he soon discovered that the evil spirit that controlled his body seemed to be going to Mr. Chunfeng's yard.

This made him very confused.

Is this evil spirit crazy? This behavior is completely suicidal.

While I was surprised, I had already walked into Mr. Chunfeng's yard.

As soon as I entered, a figure came over quickly.

It’s Mr. Chunfeng.

But he looked different from before. He looked much older, with gray hair, wrinkles all over his face, and a look of anxiety that he had never had before.

"Why are you here now?"

At this moment, Mr. Chunfeng had a stern and anxious look on his face and started to scold.

Lin Yuan couldn't say anything, and the evil spirit that controlled his body didn't say a word either.

Very well behaved.

"Come in quickly."

Mr. Chunfeng seemed to be really anxious. He grabbed Lin Yuan and dragged him into the house.

There is a pool in the house.

It is the kind of wooden barrel pool that the ancients used for bathing.

It was full of blood at this moment.

Still bubbling.

After Mr. Chunfeng came in, he threw Lin Yuan into a big wooden barrel.

Although Lin Yuan couldn't control his body, he was also confused.

What was going on? But at this moment, Mr. Chunfeng was like a completely different stranger, and it was different from what he usually met.

The next moment, the other party also jumped into the barrel.

"It's almost too late. This change is extremely dangerous." Mr. Chunfeng murmured to himself at this time.

At this moment, he and Lin Yuan were both soaking in blood in a wooden barrel. The blood was thick and bubbling constantly.

Then something strange happened. Blood began to invade the skin and flesh of the two people and spread into their bodies.

Mr. Chunfeng's expression gradually relaxed.

"It's not bad, it's not bad. Although it's a little late, everything went well. It won't be long before I can replace my soul shell and be reborn again. This is my fifth time to be reborn after taking my soul."

There was a hint of complacency in his voice, an air of arrogance.

It seemed as if what he was doing now was so amazing, as if no one could do these things.

There is no one before him and no one after him.

The greatest person of all time.

"Lin Yuan, you have great talent, but you are just unlucky. If you had met me a few years later, I would have found another vessel by then, and maybe I could really take you as my disciple. But now... it's not bad either. By then, you can more or less retain a trace of consciousness, and you can witness me achieve immortality in the next period of time, but slowly, your consciousness will gradually dissipate, and finally cease to exist."

"I tell you this so that you can understand everything, understand what I do, and understand the meaning of your existence, so you should feel honored."

"If you have anything else to say, tell me. If you have a last wish, I will help you fulfill it."

Mr. Chunfeng talked for a long time and only asked these questions at the end.

Lin Yuan wanted to say something.

But he couldn't tell.

If he could speak, he would definitely curse.

Now he could see the situation clearly. Mr. Chunfeng had no good intentions when he approached him from the beginning.

Treat him as a 'container'.

To occupy his body.

Lin Yuan knew the idiom "a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest", and what Mr. Chunfeng was going to do now was exactly this kind of immoral thing.

But then I thought, I have been possessed by the evil spirit of Tanghulu, what does this mean? Anyway, to me, it's the same, Tanghulu wants this body, Mr. Chunfeng also wants it, and Mr. Chunfeng is the one who came late.

If he could speak, Lin Yuan would definitely tell the other person that you are late.

He wanted to laugh when he thought of this.

But his body was out of control and he couldn't laugh even if he wanted to.

Mr. Chunfeng's body has begun to melt at this moment.

Like hot wax in hot water, the facial features began to deform.

Lin Yuan didn’t know the specific process of the soul-stealing, but looking at the situation, he felt that it was not good.

The melted Mr. Chunfeng mixed with the blood and began to spread up Lin Yuan's body. Lin Mo could see it, but he could do nothing.

Blood began to flow into his body through his mouth and nose.

The scene was extremely strange.

After it lasted for about a few minutes, a shrill scream suddenly came out of Lin Yuan's mouth.

He began to struggle.

But it seemed as if he was being suppressed by something and he couldn't struggle even if he wanted to.

The scream was not Lin Yuan's voice.

It was Mr. Chunfeng's voice.

The scream was followed by a strange laugh.

But this time the voice was different. It was not Mr. Chunfeng, nor was it Lin Yuan, but another voice.

Anyway, Lin Yuan could hear the sound, and he knew that it was Tanghulu who was laughing this time.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly realized something.

This Tanghulu is definitely not a simple evil ghost as it appears on the surface, and the other party is definitely not an ordinary resident of the ghost town.

If it was just an ordinary evil spirit, could it have plotted against Mr. Chunfeng?

In Lin Yuan's eyes, Mr. Chunfeng was extremely powerful, omnipotent and unfathomable.

But such a powerful existence was actually plotted against by an ordinary evil spirit. It is impossible even with a toe.

Since Mr. Chunfeng is not weak, it only means that Tanghulu is not simple.

Of course, Lin Yuan couldn’t think of anything more at that time.

In this situation, Mr. Chunfeng, who was melted in the blood, seemed to be fighting against Tanghulu, and Lin Yuan became a spectator.

This confrontation lasted for a long time.

In the end, half of the blood in the barrel was mixed with syrup, like blood-colored sugar water, glowing brightly.

Finally, Mr. Chunfeng’s voice disappeared, and Tanghulu’s voice also disappeared.

Lin Yuan found that he was slowly regaining control of his body.

This process lasted overnight.

"What happened next?" Lin Mo was completely attracted by this story.

He didn't expect that while he was learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and reciting ancient poems in school, his brother had already experienced such a wonderful thing.

"Later, I had no idea. Mr. Chunfeng and Tanghulu never appeared again. I suspected that they had fought to their deaths, but there was no more evidence. Or maybe, they are still in my body."

Lin Yuan said he had roughly finished talking.

This is the situation. Later, he spent time investigating a lot of Mr. Chunfeng's past and learned that he had done many evil things that angered God and man. If you pick any one of them, compared with a murderer of Zhou Li's level, he can only be regarded as a naive kid in kindergarten and is not worth mentioning.
