Chapter 606: Homotopic Mapping
Carpenter Li has been extremely unlucky during this period.

The incident started a month ago. Obviously, nothing should have happened in a place like Wangyou Township. In this paradise that everyone had finally arrived at, everyone could live their lives in peace. How could anything go wrong?

But the facts prove that if a person is unlucky enough, problems may really arise.

In the beginning, it was just some minor incidents like bleeding when brushing teeth or tripping when going out. At that time, Carpenter Li did not realize that there was anything wrong, but soon, the bad luck became more and more serious - on the seventh day, Carpenter Li's bad luck had developed to the point where he would trip when going out and fall into coma.

You have to know that Carpenter Li now has the body of a wooden man. It is too unbelievable that a wooden man can be knocked unconscious.

Such a strange sight also made the people in Wangyou Township feel outrageous, so everyone began to come up with ideas.

"Did you offend something dirty?"

This was everyone's first reaction. After all, Carpenter Li's bad luck was really inexplicable. It was as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. God knew what had happened - so after thinking it over, everyone decided to use some forbidden items for the first time in a long time.

That is Old Man Ruan’s ashes.

Facts have proved that Master Ruan's ashes are quite effective. After the wooden man Carpenter Li was covered with ashes, the bad luck seemed to have been stopped - but what happened next made everyone realize that this was probably only a temporary stop.

It’s just because, after half a month, that is, on the seventh day when the bad luck was stopped, new bad luck came again.

This time the bad luck was even more terrible, because the accident happened at the stove in Carpenter Li's home. Carpenter Li's wife was not feeling well at the time, so she asked Carpenter Li to prepare some hot meals for the two children - this kind of thing was nothing to Carpenter Li, after all, he did this kind of thing many times in his daily life.

But this time, the stove, which had never had any problems before, suddenly caught fire.

The blazing flames almost burned down Carpenter Li's house. Being a wooden man, Carpenter Li was naturally not spared. Although Carpenter Li ran out with his wife and children as fast as he could, half of his wooden body was still burned to charcoal.

"Not really... can't be used?"

Although Carpenter Li was comforting himself in this way, the half of his body that had been burned to charcoal had already begun to fall apart.

This tragedy has also made others more worried.

"It seems that what we did last time was not enough."

Liu Bolun sighed.

"Even Master Ruan's ashes can't do it? What happened to this old man Li is really..."

"Master Ruan's ashes are not truly omnipotent."

Hearing what Liu Bolun said, the two boys guarding the mountain shook their heads.

The two of them were originally responsible for guarding the gate of Ziyang Mountain, and now they are mainly responsible for guarding the warehouse of Wangyou Township, and Ruan Shantao's ashes are also within their guard range - so they know better that those ashes are really not omnipotent. Although Wangyou Township did achieve great material abundance with the power of these ashes, this does not mean that these ashes can really do everything.

Just like now, what happened to Carpenter Li is something that even his ashes can’t help with.

"Or else..."

It was at this time that the swordsman Cui Yuan pointed to the sky.

With just this one action, everyone present understood what he meant.

Obviously, this is the only thing everyone can do now. After all, what they are facing now is already at a level that they cannot handle - so instead of them figuring it out by themselves, it would be better to quickly find someone who can handle the matter.

And the person who could handle this matter was naturally Du Chengfeng who had ascended to heaven.

No one had actually thought much about whether Du Chengfeng could really handle this matter. After all, in the eyes of everyone in Wangyou Township, Du Chengfeng was almost synonymous with omnipotence. The man who had led them all the way here and even built this Wangyou Township with his own hands, there was almost nothing he couldn't do.

So the current situation is probably the same, right?

"If it's him... he can definitely do it."

Even the wooden man Carpenter Li was so sure. They all believed that if Du Chengfeng came back, everything would be fine.

So, the problem lies here.

How can they get Du Chengfeng back?

Although they had said all the nice things when they said goodbye, that everyone had their own lives and at most they could just come and visit more often when they were free - but now if Du Chengfeng didn't show up himself, they really didn't know how to contact Du Chengfeng himself.

"Anyway... he said he went to heaven, right?"

After thinking for a long time, a villager from Wangyou Township finally put forward his own idea.

"If the ground can see the sky, then the sky can definitely see the ground, right? We can light torches in Forget-Sorrow Village and use the flames to form words. He should be able to see it, right?"

"This... seems to really work?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

In fact, this method does not sound very reliable, but no matter how unreliable it is, it is still a method after all. What's more, Wangyou Township has no shortage of supplies at the moment, and a few torches can still be lit - so on the second night, the people of Wangyou Township put torches all over Wangyou Township, forming a huge "Return" character, hoping that Du Chengfeng in the sky would not see them.

But it turned out that this way of communication was indeed inefficient, at least Du Chengfeng did not show up that night.

"That... is understandable, right? What if he's busy with his own business?"

This is how the people of Forget-Your-Sorrow Land comfort themselves.

It was useless to light torches during the day, as the light could not illuminate very far - so the only time the people in Wangyou Township could light torches was at night. But the subtle thing was that this was also the problem. What if Du Chengfeng needed to sleep at night?

All I can say is that this communication method is inherently unreliable, and it is understandable that it is not producing any results at the moment.

But just when the people in Wangyou Township thought that this method of communication was really meaningless, an accident happened.

That night, when everyone was feeling dejected, a middle-aged scholar with white hair and beard really fell from the sky.

Then,

"He said, he said he was the God of Literature."

Liu Bolun, who barely escaped from the melee, said this to Du Chengfeng who rushed back.

"He first asked us if we knew you, we said we did, and then he suddenly attacked..."

Liu Bolun didn't want to recall the following scene.

After all, he was the only one left alive in Wangyou Township. Liu Bolun jumped into the wine jar out of fear and pretended to drown in the wine, which was how he escaped the massacre. Otherwise, he would have been like the people in Wangyou Township, with no remains left. As for Carpenter Li, he had disappeared, and it was obvious that he had been taken away by the God of Literature.

“You guys, what are you doing…”

After listening to Liu Bolun's narration, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but slap his head.

To be honest, strictly speaking, this matter was really his fault. He did not give these people in Wangyou Township an exact contact method, which led to them starting to make random moves when they needed to contact him. The idea of ​​using fire to attract people seemed good, but the problem was that he was not in this world at that time.

At that time, the person who truly saw the fire was Wenquxingjun.

Wenquxingjun was attracted by the fire and killed everyone present.

"it's okay no problem……"

Although he tried to comfort Liu Bolun with words, Du Chengfeng already felt murderous intent rising in his heart.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, disaster will not affect one's family. They are just a group of mortals, but the God of Literature would actually resort to such cruel means. With such a style and such means, the God of Literature can no longer even be called a human being.

But Du Chengfeng's reason was reminding him that now was not the best time to attack. The reason why Wenquxingjun attacked here was simply because he thought this was his secret - in other words, the biggest purpose of Wenquxingjun's destruction of this place was to force him out who was hiding in the dark.

Being willing to force him out actively means that Wenquxingjun already feels that he can definitely defeat him.

Taking the initiative to attack at this time is undoubtedly the most foolish thing to do.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but take a deep breath and began to calm himself.

"Yes, if it was in the past, the death of so many people would definitely be a big deal. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected, and once they are gone, they are gone. But now..."

Thinking of the things he had researched before, Du Chengfeng felt a little more relaxed.

After all, in this ghost world, there has never been anyone who cannot be resurrected after death. Instead, everyone can definitely be resurrected after death. It just depends on whether the person is willing to be resurrected or not.

Death is no longer the end, it is only the beginning.

So dead or alive, it doesn’t really matter.

"No, that's the problem."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but relax a little and prepared to continue resurrecting Carpenter Li.

Fortunately, although Wenquxingjun razed Wangyou Township to the ground, he did not burn everything in the end - or rather, some things had already been burned, such as Ruan Shantao's ashes, which had already been burned once and naturally could not be burned a second time.

"As long as we use Master Ruan's ashes, everything will be fine!"

Du Chengfeng thought so for a while.

But as he continued with the actual operation, the whole process got stuck from the very beginning.

No matter how many times he called out, the new wooden man in front of him did not give him any response, as if the soul of Carpenter Li had disappeared out of thin air - this made no sense at all, you have to know that Ruan Shantao's ashes, coupled with his firm belief, were too powerful. Li Mujian Ganshenzhi had been resurrected once because of this kind of thing, so naturally he should be able to do it a second time now.

But now...

There was no sound, still no sound. The wooden man, Carpenter Li, was silent at all.

"It doesn't make sense..."

Du Chengfeng was puzzled and he really didn't know what went wrong.

You can't say that Carpenter Li is not dead yet, right?
"It seems... it's really possible."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng's face became a little gloomy.

That is indeed possible. After all, Wenquxingjun is not actually bloodthirsty. Moreover, in the current situation, a living Carpenter Li is far more useful than a dead one. Let alone anything else, if he goes to find Wenquxingjun and the other party just pushes Carpenter Li out, what can he do?
There was nothing he could do. If the other party took this good brother as a hostage, he would probably not be able to do it.

"It's really... insidious."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but curse out loud. It was obvious that what Wenquxingjun had done had touched his bottom line.

"We must kill this old dog, as soon as possible..."

Du Chengfeng began to think about it. He didn't want to see anything happen to the old brother at this time.

It seemed that Carpenter Li in another world had just recovered, but Carpenter Li in this world got into trouble. What's going on?

"Really... Never mind, let me help you settle down first."

Seeing Liu Bolun's distraught look, Du Chengfeng thought about it and finally decided to find a place to accommodate this old friend.

As for Carpenter Li...he can't be impatient about this, or rather, it would be useless even if he was impatient.

Since the person has fallen into the hands of Wenquxingjun, and the other party has not killed him immediately, it means that the other party thinks that Carpenter Li at least has some necessary value - and this also means that as long as he can make enough trouble and not be caught, then as a killer against him, Carpenter Li will still be safe.

"That's all I can think of."

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng tried to calm himself down.

However, what Du Chengfeng didn't know was that right now, high in the sky, in the huge and magnificent hall of the Wanxing Alliance, dozens of Wenquxingjun were curiously looking at the half-burnt wooden man in front of them.

"You seem to have some of our feelings..."

The Wenquxing Gods looked at the wooden man in front of them with disbelief written all over their faces.

"Why do you feel like us? Could it be that you have been with that extraterritorial demon for too long, so you have been infected with the aura of the demon soldier?"

"What demon soldiers? What are you talking about?"

Carpenter Li's wooden face was full of confusion.

"What extraterritorial demon? I don't know what you are talking about! Who are you? Why did you bring me to this place?!"
