217: Lingering
Monday's 8,000-word first update

When Cheng Li and the others walked up the last staircase, what they saw were clusters of red mushrooms planted in this vast space, as tall as trees. Countless mushrooms are densely packed together, and at first glance, the space looks like an untouched primeval forest.
Cheng Li, Li Yanzhou, and Song Shirong and the other three were all surprised and amazed. Xue Yanxia and Xiao Qing looked solemn, and blurted out at the same time, "It's Tianxuan Grass!
Cheng Li released his spiritual power and sensed all directions to prevent accidents, and asked casually, "What Tianxuan grass?"
Xue Yanxia's face was quite ugly, and she said, "Cheng Li, do you remember what I said outside the 'cultivation room' before?"
Cheng Li groaned: "You seem to have said...... The Liuli clan cultivated a mushroom whose roots are rooted in a special medicinal solution, but which can also absorb various nutrients and grow. When the nutrients absorbed exceed their own needs, they will pass through the roots and in turn spit out the nutrients. In this way, all the things that you have locked up in the 'cultivation room' can be kept alive and sleeping for thousands of years?"
Xiao Qing was surprised: "Brother Li, it turns out that you have been to the 'cultivation room', why did you go over there?"
Cheng Li said briefly: "I'll talk about this in detail later." Why, what we're seeing now is the kind of mushroom that can absorb all kinds of nutrients and feed them back?"
Xue Yanxia said in a condensed voice: "Yes, it's this mushroom." Their original name is Tianxuancao. In terms of size, it is actually no different from ordinary mushrooms. However, if they absorb a large amount of nutrients in a short period of time, they will grow rapidly and eventually become what we see now. ”
"In a short period of time, you have absorbed a lot of nutrients?"
Li Yanzhou, who was next to him, frowned and asked, "What is it that is considered nourishment?"
Xiao Qing wrenched his fingers and calculated: "A lot of things are counted." For example, the flesh and blood of corpses, and the true qi of cultivators, even ...... Wind, fire, thunder and lightning, heaven and earth vitality, all count. ”
Song Shirong gasped and said, "So...... Could it be that a lot of people have died here in the near future? Or ...... There have been masters who have fought against each other here, but in the blessed land, except for us, there are only those who are the sects, right? Doesn't that mean ......?"
Xue Yanxia and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, and each nodded slowly. said in unison: "Probably that's what you thought." ”
Cheng Li said: "Look around and see if you can find any remaining clues." If the body is found...... Then clean up the corpse and bury it. ”
No one objected to this proposal. At that moment, he was cautious and searched around. Of course, in a dangerous situation, everyone did not dare to disperse too far, and always kept within the sight of others.
It didn't take long for Song Shirong to scream. When Cheng Li, Xiaoqing, Xue Yanxia and the others heard the screams, they immediately rushed over, and then they were shocked at the same time. Because they all saw it clearly. At the feet of Li Yanzhou and Song Shirong, a dry mummy was lying. The surface of the corpse was covered with a thick, viscous liquid that looked both strange and terrifying.
A corpse like this, whether it is Cheng Li or Li Yanzhou, is not the first time to see it. In an instant, the two looked back at each other at the same time and blurted out: "There is a way to turn fate!"
Cheng Li's expression was solemn, and he said: "This vicious evil art, only Yan Baiyue, and that peacock understands. Could it be that they killed this man?"
"No way, they definitely don't have such a big ability. ”
Li Yanzhou denied: "If they really have the ability to kill Zhu Shunshui easily in a face-to-face single fight." Then on the barren mountains outside Yongzhou City that day, there was no need for them to arrange so many conspiracies and tricks, just go to war directly. ”
"Zhu Shunshui, Brother Li, are you saying that this person is Zhu Shunshui?"
Cheng Li was stunned. Because he and Zhu Shunshui are not too familiar with each other. In addition, the corpse that was sucked dry of the essence in the body and died by "turning the fate into a way", of course, is very different from the living in appearance. So at a glance, Cheng Li didn't recognize the fact that this mummy was the Great Heavenly King.
But now that he was reminded by Li Yanzhou, and took a few more looks, Cheng Li immediately recognized it. Sure enough, yes. This is the wish of the great king.
Pitiful, a dignified water overlord, occupies a total of dozens of rudders in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, making money every day, eating and drinking spicy. As soon as the order was given, there were countless good players on the rivers and lakes who rushed to do things for him, and they were simply happy and free to beat the gods. I couldn't let go of the obsession in my heart, and insisted on fighting with Li Yanzhou again to wash away the humiliation of the defeat that year. In the end, he only ended up with a loss of soldiers, the Black Waterway was almost completely destroyed, and he was also sucked out of the essence of his whole body.
But Cheng Li didn't feel too much regret. He just said in a condensed voice: "Zhu Shunshui is also a rare master, and the person who can defeat him will definitely only have the strength on it." So this person, most of the time, is not a word of worship. But in any case, this person has sucked up Zhu Shunshui's essence, and his cultivation will inevitably increase significantly. This is a very dangerous person. ”
Li Yanzhou nodded, but sighed again: "Lao Zhu is known as the Dragon King of the water, and his ability also comes from the water. If he is above the rivers, lakes and seas, he can borrow water to generate power, and the power when he makes a move can at least increase by more than thirty percent. Unfortunately, this is a blessed place suspended in the sky, and there is no water to be found. Otherwise, no matter who the opponent is, Lao Zhu may not be defeated, let alone die so miserably. ”
Cheng Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know that I have no water, but I still have to come up to the cave and blessed the earth." Zhu Shunshui is also controlled by the greed in his heart. People die for money, birds die for food, and that's not worth regretting. ”
Li Yanzhou sighed and said leisurely: "That's right. People die for money, and birds die for food. In fact, who of us who are rolling in the rivers and lakes can really see and let go? The word fame and fortune has always been the most harmful to people. If it weren't for fame and fortune, how would our brothers have fallen to where they are today?"
Speaking of this, Li Yanzhou's voice was low, and there was a little more depression between his eyebrows. Song Shirong and him have been married for many years, so they naturally understand that in their husband's heart at this moment, they regularly think of Liu Wuliu Yinfeng.
Back then, Li Daliuwu treated each other with all sincerity, followed each other in life and death, shared weal and woe, and braved countless winds and waves, and finally developed the Golden Dragon Gang into the largest gang in the world. Seeing that you have achieved fame, it is time to enjoy wealth together. Unexpectedly, in the end, Liu Yinfeng betrayed Li Yanzhou. This makes Li Da, who has always attached importance to brotherhood, not be haunted by it and have a knot in his heart?
