The fatty one in front of Li Hai, who came from the Black Wolf Bandits, and the skinny one who had just died tragically, were naturally not good people.

Although these two brothers weren't skilled in martial arts, only at the strength outburst level.

But Li Hai learned after some interrogation.

Relying on the fierce reputation and ruthless nature of the Black Wolf Bandits, the number of innocent commoners who died at the hands of these two actually exceeded ten.

So after squeezing out all the information from the fatty one, Li Hai also blew his head off with a pipe, leaving only a headless fat corpse lying there.

As for the martial arts these two practiced... one was Wild Bull Fist, and the other was Iron Fan Palm. Although they were just farming techniques that could barely reach the Qi circulation Realm only when practiced to the peak, Li Hai didn't dislike them and learned them all.

Because for him now, learning one more move was a form of respect for his own life.

This world was too vast, with many experts and many secrets, so it was better to be cautious. If he could loot, he should loot, he couldn't be picky.

"Let's not talk about other things first..."

Li Hai lowered his head, glanced at the old earth-colored cloth clothes on his body, and muttered, "These clothes need to be changed."

Immediately, he began a careful search of the many side rooms within the courtyard.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Hai, who had washed up and changed into a new set of clothes and shoes, appeared in the center of the courtyard.

Besides the clothes, Li Hai also found a lot of wealth in a certain side room.

It's worth mentioning that besides copper coins with holes and gold and silver, the currency of the Jing Dynasty actually had paper money.

However, compared to the paper money of modern Earth society, the paper money in this world was slightly rougher, and both the denomination and area were slightly larger, more like silver notes.

So Li Hai, who didn't want to carry too much on the road, mostly took Jing Dynasty silver notes from here, rather than copper coins and silver ingots.

"Time to hit the road~ Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."

Standing at the entrance, Li Hai took a final look at the courtyard, then swung his hand and threw the torch far into the yard.

Whoosh~

Instantly, the mountain of oil-soaked firewood piles in the yard was ignited by the torch, and the fire spread rapidly.

Soon, the entire courtyard and the three corpses within it were completely engulfed by the raging fire.

And Li Hai, with his back to the blood-red firelight, slowly walked away, facing the rising sun.

"Wife~"

"Wife ah~~"

Just then, a faint calling sound came from a distance and reached Li Hai's ears.

He immediately paused his steps, listened again with his ear tilted, then his expression changed slightly, and his figure blurred as he rapidly sped towards the direction from which the calling sound came.

After traveling over a hundred zhang, an extremely handsome figure came into Li Hai's view.

It was... a younger Guo Huaijin.

"Wife~"

Guo Huaijin walked blankly, shouting loudly as he walked, "Wife, where are you, where are you?"

At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Hai standing quietly by the roadside, so his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to bow and ask:

"Brother, have you seen where my wife is?"

"Your wife?"

Li Hai asked in return, "What is her name?"

"She's called..."

Guo Huaijin stopped abruptly, then said awkwardly, "I... I don't know."

"You don't know?"

Li Hai said, "You don't even know her name, how can you find her?"

"I... I..." Guo Huaijin was at a loss, not knowing how to answer.

"Right."

As if he thought of something, Li Hai asked again, "What... is your name?"

"This..."

Guo Huaijin instantly froze, then said blankly, "I... I don't know either."

"Hmm~" Li Hai mused, "I think I probably know what you are."

It was... A Su's lingering obsession in the human world.

Immediately, Li Hai turned around and walked away towards the distance, never looking back.

And Guo Huaijin, after being stunned on the spot for a while, stumbled and ran towards the depths of the forest as if he had completely forgotten everything that had just happened, shouting as he ran:

"Wife~"

"Wife, where are you?"

"Will you come back, okay? Will we go home, okay?"

...

After being ravaged by the monstrous fire, the You Forest had now truly become a land of deathly silence.

All the large trees and woods were scorched, carbonized, and turned to ashes, covering the ground in a thick layer. Stepping into it would cause one to sink in, raising a cloud of black smoke and dust.

If one walked on this land of ashes, there would also be crunching sounds underfoot, as if there were departed souls groaning in pain.

At the same time, this You Forest ruin was constantly filled with the pungent smell of burnt smoke, making it hard to breathe.

Yet, in this harsh environment, Li Hai was rapidly traveling without changing his expression.

With his current foot strength at the Steel Tendons Iron Bones Realm, he could basically cross tens of zhang every second, and no matter how thick the burnt wood blocking the way ahead was, it would be shattered and turned into dust and debris upon collision.

The reason Li Hai returned to the You Forest was to answer a question in his heart.

That is, where did the Evil Spirit Earth Drawing Yin Method that A Su cultivated come from?

Was there some kind of secret hidden inside her old house that only existed in the ghost eye vision?

"Finally here."

Under the vast foggy sky, Li Hai looked at the dark rock slope covered in ashes in the distance, and suddenly his figure became ethereal, his face turned pale, and he transformed into his ghost form.

Subsequently, that bare rock slope also underwent a bizarre change in his vision.

An ancient house with black tiles appeared out of thin air there.

"Hope there's some gain."

Muttering this, Li Hai rapidly floated towards that ancient house.

Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the mansion.

But before he could push the door open and enter, a clear, cold female laughter came from within the ancient house:

"Giggle giggle giggle~"

At the same time, the heavy black wooden mansion door in front of Li Hai also creaked open by itself, as if urging him to hurry inside.

"You motherf***er."

In response, Li Hai cursed with a fearless laugh, "You're a ghost, and I'm not? You're trying to scare a ghost!"

Saying that, he floated in all the way like a ghost, with his toes touching the ground and his heels suspended.

That wooden door then slammed shut with a bang.

And at the same moment Li Hai entered this mysterious ghost house, a thin middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a divination flag also arrived outside this You Forest ruin.

He frowned tightly, looking straight into the depths of the You Forest, muttering as he raised his hand to calculate:

"Evil aura soaring to the sky yet without any murky or turbid intent, truly strange and peculiar. Could it be that a sober ghost can grow in this nameless Evil Ground?"

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man in the Taoist robe extended two fingers, pulled out a narrow yellow paper talisman from his sleeve, and began chanting.

Whoosh~

After chanting a couple of phrases, the yellow talisman ignited between his fingers without fire.

Then, this strange Taoist priest, holding the flag in one hand and the talisman in the other, stepped into the pitch-black You Forest ruin.
