Chapter 127 The Three Phrases

When the three of us moved to defend, we left Zang Tianji's position open.

Zang Tianji didn't retreat with me, and the experts from the Reincarnation Division arrived at the opportune moment.

This time, Zang Tianji blocked the other party's path. That person immediately attacked, aiming to push Zang Tianji's shoulder aside.

He wanted to push Zang Tianji away and then kill me!

But before his fingers touched Zang Tianji's shoulder, he knelt on the ground.

He had been leaping through the air, but the force with which he knelt was as if someone had forcibly pressed him down. The sound of shattering bones rose sharply as his knees hit the ground, and the bluestone tiles were crushed.

The opponent didn't get up after kneeling. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, instantly staining the ground red. The corpse remained kneeling, standing without falling.

I didn't have time to check on Zang Tianji. Together with Ye Yang, I retreated violently, breaking through the front door of the Zhang Family of Hundred Hands, then shattering a window at the back. After crossing two courtyards, Ye Yang suddenly vomited blood.

I put my hand on Ye Yang's wrist to check his pulse, and was immediately shocked, "What did you just do?"

Ye Yang just smiled and fainted in my arms.

I picked up Ye Yang and kicked open a door, carrying him inside. "Quick, see how he is!"

Feng Ruoxing rushed forward, "The ghost god wants to kill Ye Yang. Look, the mark of the ghost god has already appeared on him."

As Feng Ruoxing spoke, he grabbed Ye Yang's collar and tore open his clothes. A snake shadow like a tattoo appeared on his throat.

Was this the black snake that Ye Yang had cut in two?

Just as my shock rose, the black snake's eyes flashed with hatred, and it twisted its body towards Ye Yang's heart.

A poisonous snake devouring the heart!

It wanted to tear apart Ye Yang's heart to avenge the sword that had severed its body.

The ghost god of Shuangji Town's initial target had been Ye Yang all along.

He recognized Ye Yang!

Just as I felt a chill run through my body, I heard Zang Tianji's voice from afar: "Li Po, I will say three phrases to you each time, only one of which is true. If you bet right, you can save Ye Yang. If you bet wrong, both of you will die without a burial place. Remember!"

Feng Ruoxing subconsciously responded, "Who are you?"

"I am Zang Tianji!" Zang Tianji replied, "This is your game, and also my own tribulation. You can choose to believe me or not now!"

I couldn't help but gasp!

The real method of contending for life wasn't as simple as I had imagined.

To break free from the control of the ghost god:

The first step was to preserve the person's life, at least preventing them from dying on the spot.

The second step was to gamble on life and death.

It was as if the ghost god had hidden your chance of survival under three bowls, and you could only choose one. Lifting the bowl the ghost god had covered would be the moment of witnessing life and death.

This was the true meaning of the dream hint left to me by Zhang Family of Hundred Hands, one of the Eight Great Thieves.

Zhang Bufan in the dream had died in the mourning hall because he had mistakenly believed the words of Zhang Family of Hundred Hands in the final step.

Zang Tianji said: This is our game, and also her tribulation.

This could only prove one thing: without the participation of a *ming shu* (fate master), no one could successfully break their fate.

Zang Tianji should have calculated this outcome from the beginning of the dream, but didn't give us a hint in advance.

She was trying to act as the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao.

She only gave us one-third of the hint, broke the fate with us, and gambled on our lives together with us.

Zang Tianji did this with her own selfish motives. Once we succeeded in breaking our fate, her realm as a fate master would inevitably advance further, because she could experience the Heavenly Dao through this fate-breaking.

But, she had to bet her own life on it!

Zang Tianji had stated from the beginning that she was cooperating with us, each taking what we needed.

We were cooperating, and only cooperating.

To some extent, Zang Tianji had fulfilled her duty in the cooperation.

Zang Tianji should now be spiritually united with one side of the world, connected to Shuangji Town.

I could say anything and she would hear it: "I believe you."

Zang Tianji said: "Ye Yang's first tribulation is in the well."

"Don't trust anyone who guides you to the well."

"Finding the person who was thrown into the well that year can save Ye Yang."

Zang Tianji had finished speaking, exactly three phrases.

The three phrases seemed to revolve around the well, but upon closer examination of the latter two phrases, they didn't seem to have any connection to the well!

Someone is leading me to a place with a well?

Are they leading me to find the well, or is there something strange by the well? Or, is someone waiting for me in the direction of the well?

Finding the person who was thrown into the well that year can save Ye Yang?

The person thrown into the well seemed to have died in the well, but the cause of death that led to being thrown into the well might not be related to the well.

This was the same as how someone who drowned might not have encountered a water ghost, and someone who hanged themselves might not have been bewitched by a hanging ghost.

Moreover, the ghost of the person thrown into the well might not be hiding in the well.

Perhaps someone had already taken them out of the well.

I said in a deep voice, "Feng Ruoxing, take care of Ye Yang. Before I return, don't trust anyone."

As I spoke, I quietly grabbed Feng Ruoxing's hand and stuffed something into her hand, "If anything happens, use the whistle arrow to contact me. Don't make a sound."
