Chapter 170: Charcoal in the Snow

I think maybe the blessing in disguise is the current situation, God will never push people directly into the dead. Wang Tiancheng took away our hope and pushed us to the edge of the cliff, but our small team was united.

This is also a bonus for me. After all, before this, although I was a demon slayer, I didn't have the experience of being the captain myself and leading a team.

In this regard, I think I have to admit that I actually underestimated the importance of managing a team before I set off. This also has something to do with the fact that I don't have a deep understanding of Panhu, Hongyue, and Ling Xiao.

But now it makes no sense to say that - because of my negligence, Wang Tiancheng's villain actually took advantage of the loophole and gave him a chance to take advantage of, and now the problems we are encountering, I think are caused by my own mistakes.

And this heavy burden and guilt, although I didn't say it, and no one else even mentioned a word, I think it's just out of everyone's understanding, not that I don't have a problem.

In the future, I thought that maybe I would have more adventures in the area of tomb robbing, and this lesson would be an added bonus for me, and I felt that I would never forget this experience anyway.

Back to reality, when discussing the next plan with everyone, no matter what the plan is, in fact, the biggest problem now lies with me. I was like a cancer patient who had reached the end of my life, with almost no choice.

Not to mention that I am now in a state of paralysis due to the lack of energy contained in the Reimu Crystal, and after 24 hours, when I can no longer stay in this body, the situation will only get worse.

However, it is a pity that I swept my stomach and turned over the funeral scriptures in my mind again and again, but I still couldn't find the corresponding countermeasures. Before that, for me, the funeral scripture was like a life-saving book.

The funeral scripture is the ancestor of our Zhang family, and after being passed down from generation to generation, it is finally refined into the essence of the ground burial technique made of steel. The reason why I have been able to mix and flourish since I first became a ground burial master is also because of the blessing of my ancestors.

Indeed, according to the records in the funeral scriptures, even if the funeral scriptures are magical, they must be gifted to be qualified to inherit them, but this is another thing from hard work. I'm ashamed to say that because of the help of the funeral scriptures, I have taken a lot of detours.

More often than not, I just rely on the burial scriptures when I encounter a crisis, and then I can basically find a solution, because the knowledge of the burial techniques contained in the burial scriptures is so profound that it almost gives me a feeling of being as vast as the sea.

And this time, after relying on the funeral scriptures again but not being able to come up with an answer, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. Or maybe it's a calamity that is part of my destiny.

Yes, how can it be smooth sailing all the time, sooner or later, you will encounter problems that cannot be solved by relying on the funeral scriptures alone. This level is full of hardships and dangers for me, and one of them may die without accident.

I also asked Ling Xiao, who is also a demon slayer, but he also looked bitter, and it was obvious that there was no good solution. Ling Xiao is different from me, his profession is more narrow - demon slaying is what he mainly does.

However, it is not that there is no solution at all, but all solutions require the most basic material - that is, Reimu Crystal. If you don't have the Reimu Crystal, you can't solve the problem of the stand-in.

As for what I should do after the stand-in fails, while everyone is trying to help me come up with ideas, it's not something that the average person can think of as a solution. So I said I'll leave it at that.

Due to the reason of the Buddha of the Dark Green Yin, it is basically impossible to go down the mountain, so you can only take one step at a time and rush to the mountain as much as possible. Fortunately, there is now a Hu Lao Liu in the team, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Baiqun Mountain, so we can avoid danger as much as possible.

However, just as we were about to go back to our respective tents to rest, suddenly the formation used to summon the fox boy began to glow, and when we stared at the formation in a daze, a bright red light lit up, and when we reacted, a fluffy little fat fox appeared in front of us.

It was actually Xiaodouzi who came over. Everyone, including me, looked dazed, as if they didn't know why Little Beanzi suddenly appeared. And Little Bean jumped over with her big fluffy tail and a small bag in her hand.

The young master looked in a good mood, and hummed a little tune with his nose, and he was also startled when he saw me being carried by a tiger and looking half-dead, and immediately asked me what was wrong.

I smiled wryly and said that something unexpected had happened. Xiaodouzi said speechlessly, look at your dead face, where is this unexpected situation, it is clear that you have been forced into a desperate situation.

After that, Panhu put me down, and Xiaodouzi was also startled when he saw the fist-sized hole in my abdomen, and touched my already unconscious abdomen, saying how did I get it, how did I become like this after not seeing it for a day?

I didn't have the strength to speak, so I asked Panhu to explain the situation for me. Xiaodouzi was stunned when she heard this, and after learning that Wang Tiancheng actually betrayed everyone and fled, she patted me on the shoulder with great sympathy.

"I have long thought that that old man is not a good thing, if it weren't for your face, in fact, I wouldn't have looked at him directly, let me tell you, this young master is also a fairy fox, this fiery eye is not a joke."

I smiled helplessly, and said Since your little master is so powerful, why didn't you tell me that Wang Tiancheng was a traitor earlier, Xiaodouzi snorted, looking a little embarrassed, and immediately changed the topic, but I didn't care about it.

Looking at Xiaodouzi, I was a little puzzled, thinking that the agreement with him should be to summon him after reaching the Hidden Mountain Leyline, why did he come to him without permission before he was summoned?

"Tut, undertaker, I originally came to you with the idea of icing on the cake, but it seems that I have become your savior-he, the last time I saw you, I found that the energy stored in your Reimeng Crystal was running out, so I got you a piece."

"Really? You brought the Reimu Crystal?! My eyes lit up, and I subconsciously shouted. But then a feeling of weakness spread throughout my body, and I wilted again. Little Beanzi took off the small package on his back and spread it out.

This package is indeed wrapped in a Reimu Crystal, and it is also a rough stone! I took a look and saw that it was rough. This is a good thing, since it is a rough stone, it means that this Reimu Crystal has just been collected, and the energy contained in it must not have been absorbed.

Pan Hu looked at the shining Lingmeng Crystal with a faint hint of cyan blue light, and also looked at me happily and said, Master, will you be saved in this way? I laughed a little, and said of course, this is what this stand-in lacks right now.

As long as I can replace it with a new Reimu Crystal, I will be able to regain my mobility again, and the wounds on my body will be able to heal. Little Beanzi proudly straightened his chest, saying that it would take a lot of effort to bring this Reimu Crystal over.

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiaodouzi and said, Didn't you say last time that the Reimeng Crystal in the Heavenly Realm is used to pave the floor? Why is it so troublesome to bring it? Little Beanzi waved his hand and sighed, which was not the same thing at all.

According to the Fox King's explanation, although this Reimeng spar is rare in the Heavenly Realm, things in the Heavenly Realm are not allowed to be brought to the mortal world and the underworld without authorization. Because if that's allowed, it will cause a lot of confusion.

After all, unlike the mortal world, there are more good things in the heavenly realm. In the mortal world, if the dragon vein symbolizes the ultimate heaven and earth treasure, then the heavenly realm itself can be regarded as a dragon vein.

In the Heavenly Realm, what can be planted on the ground when you pass by a meadow is a rare spiritual grass in the mortal world. And because of this, the management of all items in the heavenly realm is very strict.

The reason why Xiao Douzi was able to take the rough stone of this fast spirit dream crystal was thanks to the fox king. Under the cover of the fox king, Xiaodouzi took a piece of Reimeng Crystal in the courtyard of his house and ran all the way back to the mortal world.

Therefore, it can't stay too long this time, and it must go back to report as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big deal if it is discovered. I was stunned for a moment, and then asked Xiaodouzi In that case, do you still want to bring my current Reimeng Crystal back?

Xiaodouzi nodded, and said of course, otherwise I wouldn't be miserable if I was discovered? Even my uncle is going to be affected. Of course, my uncle is in a high position in the Heavenly Realm, in fact, the Immortal Emperor will not just take a broken stone to worry about him.

However, as the saying goes, it's better to save more than one thing, and if you can, no one wants to make trouble for yourself, let alone add trouble to your boss. Because this kind of indifferent trivial matter has made the relationship with the Immortal Emperor bad, it is not good for anyone.

Besides, if all the immortals secretly brought the things of the heavenly realm down to the mortal world in this way, wouldn't there be chaos in this heavenly realm? Listening to Xiaodouzi say that the head is the Tao, my gaze on it has also changed a little.

I used to think that Xiaodouzi was a child's heart, but now it seems that in fact, this little guy should understand the truth. Little Beanzi said, "Anyway, it doesn't have any effect on you, right?" After all, all you need is the energy in this stone.

I said so, so it's okay if you want to take it, but won't this Reimu Crystal be discovered without energy? Xiao Douzi said that I don't have to worry about this, it is very normal for the energy of the Heavenly Realm Reimu Crystal to be absorbed.

However, since the environment of the Heavenly Realm itself is different from that of the mortal world, the intensity of the aura of heaven and earth there is not at all imaginable in the mortal world, so a piece of exhausted Reimeng Crystal can completely recover its energy in less than a quarter of an hour, so it will not be discovered.

Hearing him say this, I was also completely relieved - the participation of the Fox King in this matter shows that this is not only the help given to me by Xiaodouzi, but also the Fox King's intentions. I can't thank you enough for that.

Although I know that the fox king definitely wants to express his gratitude in this way because Xiaodouzi has been taken care of by me many times, but my current situation is special, and this kind of behavior in the snow really touches me greatly.
