Chapter 85 This Life

Twenty years ago, Zhao Yanshu had already cultivated his physical body with the help of his ghost body. He was able to walk in the human world without fear of the sun and restrain his ghost energy, making him no different from ordinary people.

As long as he doesn't meet a highly capable Taoist practitioner, he can disguise himself as a human and live a normal life in the world.

However, living in the human world requires status and wealth.

 Zhao Yanshu fell in love with an ancient tomb. It was the tomb of a wealthy man more than three hundred years ago. There were many valuable funerary objects in it.

As long as he takes out the funerary objects and secretly sells them on the black market, he can make a lot of money and then find a way to buy himself an identity.

With this thought in mind, he went to rob the tomb.

I originally thought that he was a ghost, coming and going without a trace, and that he was a ghost king with great strength, so there would be no problems on this trip.

But who knew that there was actually a very powerful formation in the rich man's graveyard.

The entire cemetery was built according to the Yin Yang Bagua theory, and a good Feng Shui location was chosen. In addition to the tomb owner and a bunch of funerary objects, there were also talismans posted everywhere.

The talismans follow certain rules and form a talisman array.

Three hundred years ago, Xuanmen had not yet declined. It was divided into different sects such as Quanzhen, Zhengyi, Maoshan, and Qingyun. Hundreds of flowers bloomed, and the talismans they drew were naturally extremely powerful.

This talisman array is designed to guard against tomb robbers, whether they are humans or ghosts.

If the intruder is a human, the talisman formation will capture the vitality of the human being and automatically transform into a missing formation, which will trap the intruder in the formation. If he cannot break out of the formation, he will be trapped inside for the rest of his life.

If a ghost comes, the talisman array will capture the ghost energy and transform it into a soul-binding array, trapping the ghost inside, consuming the ghost energy and strength day after day until the soul is gone.

Before entering the tomb, Zhao Yanshu released the lily of the valley from the beads.

Because they were going to a cemetery with excellent Feng Shui and strong yin energy, which was very helpful for the lily of the valley to nourish the soul and improve cultivation.

So, it was two ghosts who entered the tomb.

Ling Lan took the first step and accidentally fell into the formation. She was trapped inside and could not get out. Zhao Yanshu was a step slower and did not reach the range of the formation, so he escaped.

The power of the soul-binding array cannot be underestimated.

Suzuran only stayed inside for a short while, and then she felt that the power of the entire ghost body was slowly draining away. Although the speed was not fast, it was uncomfortable.

It is like a living person watching his own blood flowing all over the ground.

Zhao Yanshu wanted to save Ling Lan, but he could only break the formation from the outside. He used all he had learned over the past three hundred years and spent three full days before he managed to tear a hole in the formation.

The lily of the valley came out, but it became extremely weak and could only be contained in the beads and could not come out.

Zhao Yanshu temporarily abandoned this cemetery.

He went to the black market, found some capable tomb robbers, promised huge profits, and went back with a group of people to start robbing the tomb for the second time.

Fortunately, he is not particularly unlucky.

Among the group of tomb robbers, some of them had ancestors from Xuanmen and left behind an amulet. Using the cover of this amulet, they emptied the grave goods and divided them among them.

After selling the funerary objects, Zhao Yanshu had money and asked someone to help him get an identity:

A person from the Dragon Kingdom who has returned from overseas.

He declared that his ancestors had moved their family abroad due to war. Now that he has grown up, he hopes to return to the Dragon Kingdom and recognize his ancestors.

Twenty years ago, the country's household registration system was not very complete, and there was no comprehensive Internet coverage. It was easier to make fraud, so he did not reveal his secret.

After obtaining his identity, Zhao Yanshu used the remaining money to develop his own power in the country.

When he was a human being, he abandoned his body and was willing to be a ghost in order to stay with Suzulan forever. However, after being a ghost for a long time and seeing the affluent life in the new era, he missed the days of being a human being again.

He did all this so that he could live in this world as a human being.

It’s a pity that God did not fulfill people’s wishes.

Suzuran was too seriously injured in the rich man’s graveyard.

The soul body that was torn apart by the formation healed very slowly. Even with the help of Zhao Yanshu, the ghost king, she still showed vague signs of collapse.

Zhao Yanshu has been trying to think of ways to stabilize Linglan's soul over the years, but to no avail.

Finally, he found out about a forbidden technique: seizing the body.

Actually, seizing a body and reviving a body as people think are two different concepts.

The basis of reviving a corpse is the "corpse", which must be that the owner of the body has died, leaving a body behind, and then the external soul takes over the body and comes to life again.

It must require that the original owner of the body has just died, the body still has a breath of life, and the new soul is incomparably compatible with the body in order to be successful.

For example, Pei Anzhu came from another world and borrowed a corpse to resurrect his soul into the original owner.

But seizing the house is different.

The basis of seizing a body is "seize", which means to fight, that is, another soul must forcibly invade the body while the soul of the original owner of the body is still alive.

The invading soul is in that body, suppressing and wearing away the original soul, until all the original soul overflows and becomes the nourishment of the new soul.

It is not necessary to consider whether the soul and the body are in harmony with each other.

As long as the original soul becomes weaker and weaker, the new invading soul will naturally slowly merge with the body until it is completely integrated.

After Zhao Yanshu found the forbidden technique of seizing the body, he began to select the body of seizing the body.

At an accidental business gathering, he saw Qin Xiaoyu, the daughter of the Qin family. Her face was exactly the same as in her previous life, and her name was exactly the same, which moved his thoughts.

In Zhao Yanshu's heart, Qin Xiaoyu was the culprit who hindered him and Linglan from being together in his previous life.

If Qin Xiaoyu hadn't insisted on marrying him, he wouldn't have calculated so much for Linglan, until he finally lost her life in vain.

So, Qin Xiaoyu owes him.

In this case, the debts that were not repaid in the previous life should be repaid in this life.

 Zhao Yanshu asked someone to inquire about Qin Xiaoyu's information, and when he learned that she was from a wealthy family and had a noble status, he felt that such a life experience would be a good exchange for Ling Lan.

Linglan has never felt the love of her family, nor has she lived a good life. If she takes over Qin Xiaoyu's body, she can replace him and become the daughter of the Qin family.

The opportunity came soon. The Qin family wanted to choose a marriage partner for Qin Xiaoyu.

Therefore, Zhao Yanshu relied on the classical literature such as the Four Books and Five Classics that he had read before, as well as the knowledge and insights gained in the past three hundred years, to apply for a job at the university and suddenly became a university lecturer.

He returned from overseas with a rich fortune, a university job, a scholarly family, and no father or mother.

This is undoubtedly a very suitable marriage partner for the Qin family, which can not only expand assets and connections, but also save the daughter from having to deal with her parents-in-law.

So, Zhao Yanshu and Qin Xiaoyu went on a blind date.

 Even if a person is reincarnated, what he likes deep in his soul will not change, so Zhao Yanshu knows what kind of man Qin Xiaoyu likes.

Step by step, he weaved a huge net and caught Qin Xiaoyu in it.

Qin Xiaoyu really had a good impression of him, and the Qin family also recognized him as their future son-in-law. He just showed his gentleness and meticulousness to Qin Xiaoyu, and completely captured the hearts of the family.

But things did not go so smoothly. After Zhao Yanshu and Qin Xiaoyu got together, he began to prepare for Linglan to seize her body. After studying her horoscope, he discovered that she was actually expected to die young.

At the age of twenty-three, there will be a death disaster.

The catastrophe of certain death is hard to overcome.

But how is this possible? Qin Xiaoyu's body was the container he prepared for Linglan. He spent so much effort to get close to her, how could he let her die?

What's more, Qin Xiaoyu still has to repay the debt for killing Linglan in his previous life!

So, Zhao Yanshu used the forbidden technique again to change Qin Xiaoyu’s fate against the will of heaven—

As I have said a long time ago, there is a price to pay for changing one's destiny against nature.

 Zhao Yanshu played the game of White Wolf with empty gloves. At most, he had some cultivation, but the method of extending his life really consumes Qin Xiaoyu's own blessings and merits.

In other words, Qin Xiaoyu’s blessings and merits could have enabled her to have a good pregnancy in her next life, which would be smooth and safe.

This is the opportunity she has accumulated for doing good in her two lives, and it is also the compensation from heaven for her two premature deaths.

But with Zhao Yanshu doing this, she could live for a few more years in this life, but her blessings and merits have long been exhausted. She may be reincarnated in the next life, and she may have a bad fate and bad luck.

Not only that, even if she lived a few more years in her life, she would not get any benefits.

Because her body is about to be taken over by Lily of the Valley and become a container to nourish Lily of the Valley so that her soul will not collapse.

By the time Qin Xiaoyu's original lifespan was about to run out and she could no longer hold on, Zhao Yanshu had probably found the next suitable container for Linglan to take over.

Zhao Yanshu had already planned it—

Prolonged Qin Xiaoyu's life, married Qin Xiaoyu, and suppressed her with PUA after the marriage, tortured her spirit and soul, and made her fragile.

 With his pretense of being a good man before marriage, Qin Xiaoyu’s parents would not suspect anything.

When he is ready, let Linglan enter Qin Xiaoyu's body to seize the body.

By that time, Qin Xiaoyu's spirit and soul were so fragile that Linglan could suppress her with almost no effort.

It’s just that people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations.

In order to achieve his goal, Zhao Yanshu resorted to any means and calculated ninety-nine steps. He was just short of the last step, but he was defeated by a woman's intuition.

He believed that Qin Xiaoyu was already the prey in the palm of his hand and could not escape, so he did not deliberately restrain his ill will towards her.

He always stared at Qin Xiaoyu in the middle of the night, imagining how great it would be if Linglan woke up from this body and stayed with him in the human world.

Qin Xiaoyu sensed something was wrong, and on the day of her wedding, she entered Pei Anzhu's live broadcast room and attracted a truly capable Taoist practitioner.

Pei Anzhu saw through Zhao Yanshu's ghost, saw through his disguise, exposed his scheming, and exposed all the evil he had done one by one in front of others.

A feud that has been calculated for three hundred years will finally come to an end today.

***

The story of Zhao Yanshu is over.

The twists and turns and the ups and downs of the plot shocked everyone in the live broadcast room and made them split apart:

—? ? ? What kind of beast is Zhao Yanshu? Specifically not doing human affairs?

—That’s not to say, at least he is sincere to Suzuran.

-I bother! Look at Miss Suzuran's expression, does she want to be so sincere? In her previous life, Linglan was willing to quit in order not to hurt Qin Xiaoyu. Do you think she is willing to occupy someone else's body?

—It’s so out of line! How dare he say that Qin Xiaoyu owes him?

—What a dog man, if it weren’t for him, how could these two beautiful young ladies have died so miserably?

Fortunately, I was moved by the love between him and Qin Xiaoyu in the past and present life. I am so obsessed with him that he is in love. Except for Linglan, everyone else’s life is not my life?

…

The audience in the live broadcast room used their own strengths and almost scolded Zhao Yanshu.

Pei Anzhu knew that it was time for him to take a stand, so he leaned on the sofa and smiled sarcastically at Zhao Yanshu:

“Tsk, tsk, Qin Xiaoyu is still miserable.”

“In my previous life, you hindered my marriage, ruined my reputation, and lost my life. In this life, you have exhausted all my merits, overdrawn my blessings, and become a vessel for your beloved.”

"How can she be sorry for you? You didn't just catch someone picking up the wool, right?"

As soon as he said these words, he was clearly going to stand up for Qin Xiaoyu.

After all, in this triangular **** story, she is the only pure victim. It is really unjust, even more unjust than Dou E who was snowing in June.

As for Linglan, she is also innocent. She was dragged down by Zhao Yanshu, a selfish man.

But after her death, she escaped from the underworld and enjoyed a happy life for three hundred years. Moreover, she was able to obtain part of Zhao Yanshu's cultivation level without practicing.

From this point of view, she can be regarded as a vested interest to a certain extent.

After all, it’s not certain how Zhao Yanshu’s cultivation level came about. Given his **** character, Pei Anzhu simply doesn’t believe that he cultivated his skills step by step.

What kind of good thing can the exercises given by evil ways be? Doesn’t it have to be filled with human lives?

So, in this matter, Pei Anzhu felt most distressed about Qin Xiaoyu. If she hadn't happened to appear, Qin Xiaoyu might have been ruined for the rest of his life.

Linglan also learned the truth about everything from Zhao Yanshu's story.

For a while, she couldn’t accept it:

“So, you were the one who instigated those horse bandits to kidnap Sister Xiaoyu on their wedding day?”

“Why are you such a person?”

"I thought you had already figured it out when you agreed to marry Sister Xiaoyu, but I didn't expect that you were just acting on the occasion?"

“You keep saying you are doing it for me, where are you going to put me?”

Ling Lan is kind, otherwise she wouldn't have chased the bandit to save Qin Xiaoyu. She is not willing to continue her life at the expense of other people's lives.

Hearing about taking possession of a body or a container is extremely terrifying.

It turns out that all the beautiful love in her opinion is based on Qin Xiaoyu's pain.

The veil of disguise was torn apart and it became bloody.

Finally, Suzulan spoke:

“Zhao Yanshu, I don’t want to seize my body, let alone stay in the human world. Maybe the collapse of my soul is God’s punishment for me.”

"I am willing to return to the underworld. No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them with all my strength. Whether I am punished or reincarnated as an animal, it will be regarded as my atonement to Sister Xiaoyu."

Qin Xiaoyu slowly raised his head at this time, looked at Zhao Yanshu and Ling Lan, and asked quietly:

“Then what should I do? Is atonement enough?”

"No matter how much punishment you suffer, can you get back the merits and blessings I have lost? Can you offset the blood debt of being killed early in my previous life?"

“There is still this life…”

"Now there are all the wedding guests outside. They are either business celebrities or famous ladies. All of them are well-known. Now that there is no wedding, where do you want my Qin family's face to go? How can you let my parents do this? Raise your head in front of many people?”

“Zhao Yanshu, you are so selfish and hateful!”
