Chapter 1040: Changing Bones
Seeing his daughter suddenly stop crying and look a little strange, Aliang looked at Bai Ze in horror and said, "Who are you? What did you do to my daughter? Why did she become like this?"

Bai Ze said expressionlessly, "We should be the ones asking you this question, right? You can transform two paper figures into living people and let them live among the crowd, pretending to be your family... We are not as good as you in this aspect."

At this moment, Aliang's expression still didn't seem like he was pretending. His first reaction was that Bai Ze and Lao Xu must be members of some evil organization, and they didn't know what terrible things they wanted to do with their family. So he thought about asking his wife to take their daughter out first. As a result, when he turned around, he saw that his wife's expression was exactly the same as his daughter's...

"You...what did you do to them and their mother?" Aliang said with a look of despair.

Lao Xu was obviously more patient than Bai Ze. He sighed and said, "Aliang... take a good look at them. Can't you remember how these two paper figures became your family members? We are not in a hurry. You can recall them slowly."

"What paper people? What nonsense are you talking about? My wife and children are living people! How could they be paper people?" Aliang said with some disbelief.

After hearing this, Lao Xu continued, "In fact, we saw some clues when we were at the police station before, otherwise we wouldn't have asked Ah Bang to bring us to your house... Maybe ordinary practitioners can't see the problem between the two of them, but Lao Bai and I can see at a glance that your wife and child both don't have a Yuanshen Palace. No Yuanshen Palace means no soul, and how can an ordinary person be without a soul? The only possibility is that they are not human at all, not even a living being with flesh and blood."

After hearing what Lao Xu said, Aliang finally calmed down. He looked at his wife and daughter in confusion. Gradually, the confusion was replaced by a sense of realization. Then his gaze slowly changed. When he looked at Lao Xu again, his eyes were completely different from before, as if he had become a different person in just one minute...

"It's you..." Aliang asked in a deep voice.

Old Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "It's me... I haven't seen you for many years. Is everything going well, Lord God?"

Bai Ze, who was standing by, looked at Lao Xu curiously and said, "Is this... Lord Bai Jian?"

Old Xu nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Bai Jian is now practicing the human world. I'm really sorry... If it weren't for absolutely necessary, we wouldn't easily disturb your practice this time."

After all, Bai Jian owed someone a favor, so he nodded and said, "Well... everything is a matter of chance. Your appearance means that it is time for me to end my practice this time. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Then Lao Xu and Bai Ze took Bai Jian back to the hotel where they were staying. They saw Song Jiang who was unconscious and Little White Tiger sleeping beside him. They could tell at a glance that the injuries on both were caused by his mentor's magic whip, and couldn't help wondering, "Who has the magic whip now?"

"Yang Jian..." Bai Ze answered truthfully. After all, he was asking for help. If he concealed something from the beginning, it would inevitably bring many hidden dangers to the subsequent matters.

Bai Jian nodded and said, "No wonder... I have heard a little about what happened a thousand years ago, but I didn't expect that my master's magic whip was in Erlang Shen's hands. Well, since I owe you a favor, it is reasonable for me to help them heal their injuries. But there is one thing I must make clear in advance. Although the injuries of Lord White Tiger and this mortal were caused by the same magic weapon, the severity of the injuries is different, so the difficulty of treatment is naturally different."

When Lao Xu heard this, he asked nervously, "Is it that my Lord's injury is more difficult to treat?"

Unexpectedly, Bai Jian shook his head and said, "On the contrary, it is this mortal's injury that is more difficult to treat... Based on the results of my current investigation, he should have been dead a long time ago. His body was once forcibly reversed by divine power. On the surface, he seems to have an immortal body, but everything should follow the way of heaven. Going against the will of heaven is against the way of heaven, and the most direct result is the loss of his soul. After the death of ordinary people, their souls leave their bodies and go to the underworld to continue reincarnation, but when he dies, he is dead. It is a true extinction. There is no soul, no soul, nothing."

Old Xu quickly asked, "I wonder if the Lord God has any good plan?"

Bai Jian thought for a moment and said, "The only way now is to forcibly imprison his soul in this secondary body, and then find a way to change the bones of this body. But you have to think clearly about the cost of doing so. After all, this is just a mortal body. No one can predict the result of forcibly changing the bones... He may become an immortal, or a demon, but more likely he will become a devil."

Bai Ze and Lao Xu were undecided about what to do, so they asked Lord Bai Jian to treat Lord Bai Hu first, and then Lord Bai Hu would discuss with him how to treat Song Jiang. Lord Bai Jian did not raise any objections, but he had to find an undisturbed environment to treat the wound of the White Tiger. Otherwise, if he stopped halfway, not only would the White Tiger be injured, Lord Bai Jian would also be in great danger.

But where in the world is there a quiet place that will never be disturbed? Only Bai Ze and Lao Xu can set up a barrier, and they can protect it from the outside, so that it can be truly undisturbed. So they did it, Bai Ze and Lao Xu set up two barriers in the hotel room and the floor where the room is located... The reason for setting up two barriers is that the first one is to prevent mortals from accidentally breaking in; and the second one is to prevent some nearby demons and evil spirits from getting close. In short, it must be foolproof.

The healing process for Meng Zhe lasted a whole night. During this time, some hotel guests did come in and out, but they all got lost in the first barrier. They either couldn't find their rooms or the door to get out. The next morning, they all came to the front desk to complain about what happened last night...

After a night of treatment by Lord Bai Jian, Meng Zhe finally regained his human form. The first thing he said after waking up was to ask about Song Jiang's situation. Lord Bai Jian did not hide anything and explained Song Jiang's situation truthfully, and asked Meng Zhe if he could make this choice for him.
