The crooked way can also lead to heaven

Day and night reversed, and dawn soon descended on this dark land.

The two people in the funeral home heard three cock crows clearly.

Ye Ran simply couldn't sleep, while the little beggar was a little scared and forced himself to stay awake all night.

Not long after, heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Ye Ran tilted his head to look at the entrance, only to see a figure covered in mud and shaking uncontrollably approaching.

It seems that Song Wu is not having an easy time.

But now he is a completely different person from before.

Although there is a lot of mud on his face, he can still see a strong vitality in his eyes, and the death on his body has disappeared completely.

"Master Ye, Master Ye, can we proceed to the next step now?" Song Wu trembled and supported the wall, sitting on the ground.

Ye Ran stared at him for a while, then threw a small bottle from his bag and said, "If you eat it, you will get seriously ill during this period, but you will recover completely after you get through it."

The bottle contains a Gu worm, of course, but it has no side effects. It is a medicinal Gu specially used to dredge the meridians.

When the Gu worm devours the remaining dead air in his body, he can be considered to have regained his life.

Song Wu did not hesitate, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Ye Ran stood up and patted Song Wu on the shoulder, chuckling, "You planted this cause yourself, and you have to bear the consequences yourself."

Song Wu was confused when he heard it, and before he could ask in detail, Ye Ran had already called the little beggar to leave.

Back to the street, the two of them found a breakfast shop to fill their stomachs. After all, it was good not to catch a cold after being caught in the rain in this weather. At this time, a mouthful of hot porridge was undoubtedly the best.

While drinking the porridge, the little beggar rubbed his eyes listlessly and asked, "Master, what did you mean by that sentence before you left?"

Ye Ran took a bite of the bun, chewed it for a few times, and then said, "Someone in his family will die, but I don't know who it is."

Hearing this, the little beggar suddenly became energetic, and his curiosity was completely aroused, so he couldn't wait to ask, "How do you know?"

"Everyone has his own destiny, which is destined by God. Song Wu was supposed to die, but he escaped because I used my magic power to change the variables."

"In our line of work, there has been a saying of cause and effect since ancient times. As long as it involves destiny, , will definitely be contaminated a little bit. "

"I'm afraid you don't understand, so I'll tell you in a simple way."

"Originally, Song Wu should have died, but I unexpectedly saved his life. The cause has been planted here."

"And his misfortune will not be offset by what I did, but will be transferred to the people closest to him. This is the result."

When Ye Ran finished speaking, the little beggar's eyes lit up, and he looked like he had suddenly realized something, and exclaimed: "So someone in the uncle's family will die instead of him!"

Ye Ran nodded with satisfaction: "You are right."

Recalling the time when he made a deal with Lin Tianfeng, there was actually this layer of cause and effect.

This thing is very mysterious, and it may explode and backfire on him one day.

But Ye Ran is a dying man, of course, he is not afraid of these.

If he finds the legendary golden tree to make himself immortal, then the cause and effect will not matter.

On the contrary, if he doesn't find it, he won't live for a few years, and he will not care about his miserable life.

Neither of them spoke after that. Halfway through the meal, they felt dizzy and dazed. It was a bad feeling after staying up all night.

When they returned to the shop, the little beggar couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the table.

As soon as Ye Ran closed the door, the phone rang at an inopportune time.

It turned out that Luo Xiaoxiao's father had woken up. In order to express his gratitude, he specially hosted a banquet at home to entertain him. In addition, there was something important to discuss.

Ye Ran pulled up his collar and smelled it. He was full of mud. Then he took a shower, changed his clothes and drove there.

When he arrived at Luo's house, he found that Lin Tianfeng was also there. He looked full of energy and spirit and didn't look like an old man in his sixties or seventies.

"Master Ye is here. We haven't seen each other for a while. We have to drink a few more cups today."

As soon as he saw Ye Ran, Lin Tianfeng also put down his posture and said with a smile in the tone of an old friend.

Ye Ran was not in a good mental state, so he skipped the politeness and responded casually: "Let's start the meal. Let's talk after dinner. I can go back to sleep."

Lin Tianfeng also noticed that something was wrong with him, so he extended his hand to invite him: "Okay, Master Ye, please take a seat."

As soon as he sat down, he saw Luo Xiaoxiao wearing a formal suit and smiling.

Ye Ran frowned, showing an impatient look: "Quiet down, are you annoying?"

Luo Xiaoxiao's head was full of question marks: "I didn't say anything!"

"You said it now." Ye Ran said directly, without giving her a bit of face at all.

Luo Xiaoxiao was very angry, but she had no choice but to sit opposite her alone.

Lin Tianfeng and Luo Tianhe looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes revealed a lot of information.

"Haha, Master Ye is young and energetic, so it's normal for him to speak quickly."

"I have never formally introduced myself to you. I am Luo Tianhe. Thanks to Master Ye's help some time ago, otherwise I am afraid that my life and death would be in danger."

"I came here to thank Master Ye. If there is anything you need in the future, as long as it is within my ability, I, Luo Tianhe, will do my best to help."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Ran raised his hand to interrupt Luo Tianhe who wanted to continue his speech, and looked up at him directly.

"I don't want to hear some gorgeous words. Just tell me what important things you need to discuss with me."

After these people get to a certain point, they like to make big promises to others, and their words are half true and half false.

I haven't even started eating yet. It will probably take more than half an hour to make a speech. Why bother?

Ye Ran took out a cigarette and lit it, hoping to refresh himself. Seeing this, others didn't know what to say.

Luo Tianhe was obviously a little embarrassed. Because he had not had much contact with the young man in front of him, he didn't know much about his temper. In the end, he could only cast his eyes on Lin Tianfeng on the side.

Lin Tianfeng coughed twice, and his expression became serious.

"Master Ye, do you know about the extermination of the Zhou family?"

"Of course I know, why are you asking this?"

"Okay, then do you know who is behind the Zhou family?"

"I don't know about that. Do you know?"

Ye Ran's eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and he was also very interested in this topic.

It was previously known that the Zhou family was not only against the Luo family, but also affected some large and small companies in the surrounding areas.

Just when everyone thought it was the work of Old Man Scorpio, the contradiction did not point to him in the end.

From the beginning, Ye Ran noticed something was wrong, and always felt that there were some secrets that had not been dug out.

Old Man Scorpio was just an external force master, perhaps a relatively strong existence in the eyes of others, but undoubtedly weak to Ye Ran.

After the matter was over, I thought about it carefully and found that there were too many unclear problems.

Luo Tianhe propped up his hands against his chin, and his expression was very serious: "The person who harmed me was a guy called Old Man Scorpio, and there was a man next to him."

"Based on my experience, Old Man Scorpio seemed to be very afraid of the people next to him, but I didn't see the face of the mysterious man clearly."

"From this, it can be inferred that Old Man Scorpio is just a pawn, and the one who disturbed Tianhai City... may be someone else."

It must be said that Luo Tianhe's guess is also somewhat reasonable, even Ye Ran thought so in his heart.

Everyone fell silent, and after a long time, Ye Ran said, "Since we can't see the face clearly, we can start from other aspects, such as clothing, movements or voices."

"Others are not clear, but the mysterious man is wearing a white robe and holding a white paper fan. He looks like an ancient man." Lin Tianfeng frowned and said.

Ye Ran's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately thought of the person he saw in the suburbs that day. It is estimated that he is the same person as Lin Tianfeng.

"I'll remind you, if you don't want to die, don't go any further."

Ye Ran had already guessed the identity of that person, but he couldn't confirm it accurately.

Hearing Ye Ran say this, Luo Tianhe and Lin Tianfeng were both shocked.

If someone else said this, they might sneer, after all, both of them are famous crocodiles in Tianhai, not scared.

But the person who said this was Ye Ran. Everyone knows his strength, and the gold content of his words is extremely high.

But Lin Tianfeng still wants to know why Ye Ran said such a thing?

"Master Ye, do you know something?"

"Of course he knows."

Before Ye Ran could speak, a voice sounded behind him. He turned around and found it was Zhao Kuo.

Luo Tianhe and Lin Tianfeng just nodded at him. Even if they greeted him, their attitude towards Ye Ran was completely different from before. It was like a world of difference.

Zhao Kuo respectfully greeted them: "Master Lin, Master Luo, let me explain it to you."

Ye Ran snorted and turned around to eat.

Zhao Kuo didn't care. After pushing his glasses, he explained: "Neither of you is a Taoist, so you don't know what it means."

"There are many kinds of professions in the Yin and Yang world, and one of the most famous ones is the evil cultivator."

"People in the world call them evil cultivators. As the name suggests, this kind of people practice not the right way, but mainly the side door and unorthodox way."

As he said, Zhao Kuo glanced at Ye Ran. Everyone noticed it, but they also knew it well.

"There is a ranking list for evil cultivators. There are six people at the top who are well-known and famous, and naturally have the strongest strength."

"The top scholar, the little scholar, the corpse poison king, the evil guest."

"According to our reliable information, the one who disturbed Tianhai City was the little scholar!"

Although he described it vividly, Lin Tianfeng and others did not know how powerful it was, so there was not much fluctuation in their hearts.

Ye Ran also knew all about this ranking list, but did not know how it was spread.

However, one thing cannot be denied, the people at the top of the evil cultivator ranking list are all strong.

"So, the purpose of calling me here is to let me deal with the little scholar?"

Ye Ran put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, turned his head and glanced at everyone.

Luo Tianhe and Lin Tianfeng did not speak, but Zhao Kuo, who walked to the opposite side, nodded willingly.

"If it was just an evil cultivator ranked low, you wouldn't need his help, but this little scholar is very powerful. I have already reported to the higher-ups and requested to send the next batch of experts to assist."

"Why should I help? What does this have to do with me?"

Ye Ran asked directly. He didn't want to get involved in such a thankless task.

Zhao Kuo knew that Ye Ran would answer like this, so he took out a few documents and handed them over.

"This is the conversation between the old man Scorpio and the young scholar. We checked all his text messages in the past month, and you are mentioned in them."

"So we are very sure that the young scholar is coming for you. As for the reason, we have not yet known, but you must not be able to stay out of it."

Zhao Kuo's tone was obviously a bit gloating, and he didn't have to pay any reward this time, which was cool to think about.

Ye Ran quickly browsed the file, and threw it on the table casually, stood up and sneered: "Psycho, you want to drag me into the game, you are probably thinking too much."

After saying that, he left the room without looking back, and didn't want to pay attention to them at all.

He knew very well what kind of people were on the evil cultivation rankings. They were either mentally ill or mentally abnormal.

Fighting with such a group of people, the final result can only be harming oneself and others.

And the existence of this ranking is ridiculous.

Ye Ran fell headfirst on the bed when he returned home. There was no room for these things in his mind. When he woke up, it was already dark.

"Master, dinner is ready."

The little beggar came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a steaming dish in his hand.

Ye Ran had no appetite, and then took out the copper coins he had obtained earlier and fell into thought.

Because he had been delayed by things during this period, he could not go to the ghost market to shop.

It happened that there was nothing to do now, so he could go there later.

The ghost heart could not be preserved for too long.

"Come with me to a place later, and practice your eyesight by the way."

Ye Ran lit a cigarette, sat behind the counter and waited for the little beggar to finish dinner, and then the two closed the door of the shop and left.

The ghost market is a street, consisting of a total of three streets, and there are special formations in it. If you don't have the corresponding token, even if you pass through the middle, it is just an ordinary street and you can't see anything.

Of course, this kind of place is mixed with good and bad people, and murder and robbery are common.

Even if you find a treasure, whether you can take it away safely depends on your own ability.

Fighting is prohibited in the ghost market, but it is another story outside the ghost market.

Ye Ran drove around the city and finally stopped near the village in the city.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw many people walking in the same direction.

After a while, the two came to an alley. Looking up, they saw a long queue, and everyone was quietly waiting to receive the token.

"Follow me closely after you go in, don't run around, understand?" Ye Ran turned around and said seriously.

The little beggar nodded repeatedly, but there was no fear in his eyes, but endless curiosity.
