I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Many stone chamber openings can be seen outside the cave. An open flat area is the yard. In the yard, there are several tall and straight camphor trees and a few squirrels. Under the camphor trees are several stone benches, on which sit three men with beautiful beards.

Two of them were holding chess pieces and were thinking deeply, not making any moves for a long time, as if they were stumped by the game. The other one was much more relaxed, just sitting aside sipping tea, glancing at the chessboard from time to time, and not saying anything.

The three of them were originally immersed in their own world, but suddenly they heard a sound of breaking air, and they all looked up at the same time.

I saw a thin old man flying out of the clouds in the sky, with a vague shadow beside him.

That is Xu Guizhi's soul and the Eight Poison Dragons.

Xu Guizhi was far away in the sky and had not been able to see clearly, but when he landed, he saw that the three bearded men looked exactly the same, with exact facial features and body figures. He couldn't help but exclaimed with a look of surprise.

Du Balong didn't care about everyone's expressions and walked towards them quickly with Xu Guizhi.

The three handsome men with beards smiled and said, "Here we are."

The bearded man who was drinking tea put down his teacup and stood up. The other two put the chess pieces in the chess box and stood up to greet him.

As soon as Du Balong landed, he started chattering about what he had seen and heard on the road. He said that the current world of immortal cultivation is not as good as before. He also talked about the matter of the demon Guqi and Danyangzi who had not been seen for a long time. The other three were already familiar with his personality, so they let him talk on without saying a word.

Xu Guizhi was tired of listening along the way, so he interrupted and asked him to introduce it.

Du Balong was talking so much that he frothed at the corners of his mouth. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. After listening to Xu Guizhi's words, he pointed at the person standing outside and said, "This is my eldest brother, Du Yifei, who loves tea."

Then he pointed to the one in the middle and said, "This is my second brother, Du Yifu, who loves playing chess."

Finally, he pointed to the one on the far right and said, "This is my third brother, Du Yixuan, a chess fanatic! My original name was Du Yilong, and I loved making poisons. As time went by, everyone called me the Eighth Poison Dragon or the Poison Tyrant. No one knows my last name anymore. The four of us are quadruplets from the same mother."

After listening to what Du Balong said, Xu Guizhi floated over to greet them one by one. The three looked Xu Guizhi up and down and saw that his soul was dim and his figure was blurry, exactly the same as what the owner of Du Balong's flying sword had described. They knew that he had met with a misfortune and his soul was incomplete at this moment. They sighed slightly and nodded as if they had met him.

After everything was done, Xu Guizhi flew back to Du Balong and said with wide eyes, "Since you are quadruplets from the same mother, why do you look so old?"

Before Du Balong could say anything, chess fanatic Du Yixuan said, "It all started with the barbarians in southern Xinjiang. When we fought with them, Fourth Brother was unfortunately poisoned. He had no choice but to transfer his soul out of his body. But the clay statue he had prepared was broken by that thief woman. In desperation, he had to transfer his soul into the body of an old beggar."

"So where has the old beggar's soul gone?"

"The old beggar was so old that he was only breathing his last breath. His feet were frozen in the freezing cold, so we brought him back to be taken care of. When he learned that his fourth brother was in urgent need of soul transfer and it was too late to make a clay statue of him, he volunteered to sacrifice himself. So what we did was not against morality." Du Yifei, a tea enthusiast, understood what Xu Guizhi was thinking when he heard him ask this and explained it to him in detail.

"This old beggar is really a kind-hearted person." Xu Guizhi muttered.

"This soul-transferring technique originated from southern Xinjiang. Fourth brother learned it by accident and only tested it on some animals. It transferred one soul to another object, but never transferred one person's soul to another person. That time we had to do it because the situation was urgent." Du Yifu, who loved playing chess, knew that he still had doubts and continued to add.

The chess fanatic said, "I see that you are only a soul now. Do you know where your body is?"

Xu Guizhi shook his head. "I don't know exactly where it is, but I always feel that I should go to the Soul Prison Abyss. Maybe there is an answer there. This time I came with Senior Du Balong to move my remaining soul into the clay fetus, so that I can find my body in the future."

Du Balong had already told his three brothers about Xu Guizhi's experience and his amnesia through flying sword, so they were not surprised that Xu Guizhi was a stranger to them. They were just very curious about how Xu Guizhi had become like this, so they pulled him to sit at the stone table by the stream and asked him in detail.

Xu Guizhi told Du Balong everything he could remember, and now he told the other three the same thing. Because there were too many missing parts, everyone was confused after listening, so they had to take Xu Guizhi to the stone chamber.

This cave was found by four brothers after traveling thousands of miles. The cave was also dug out by the four of them together. All the daily necessities were made of huge trees on the mountain or mud and water by the stream. Traces of handwork can be seen everywhere. Although the workmanship is not sophisticated, it is very interesting.

Xu Guizhi followed the four people to a stone chamber. He saw frost covering the stone door at the entrance. The breath of Du Balong and others was also stained with white mist. Xu Guizhi knew that this was a sealed ice cellar.

The stone door was inlaid with a wooden handle, and the handle was covered with a cotton sleeve. Du Balong rubbed his hands, pressed on the handle, and turned it three times. The stone door vibrated with a rumbling sound and opened after a while.

It is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The mountains are not hot at all, and there is still a cold mist coming out from inside.

Several people pushed away the mist and walked in. There were luminous pearls and other luminous objects in the stone chamber, and the room was very bright.

Xu Guizhi's spirit could not feel the cold, so he floated over when he saw a coffin. In the coffin lay another man with a beautiful beard, whose body was black and blue, and whose hair was all white, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned deeply.

Seeing this, Du Balong came over and said, "This is a good thing. I used to care a lot about the appearance of the body, but after this incident, I don't care so much about the appearance anymore. On the contrary, I feel more free and at ease in this body now. If you want to be like me, I can also make a clay statue of an old beggar for you. How about that?"

Xu Guizhi waved his hand and said, "Just make one based on my original appearance."

Du Balong laughed, "Young man, I understand, I understand. I know who you are thinking about." After saying that, he smiled and blinked at Xu Guizhi.

When Xu Guizhi saw Du Balong's smile, he knew that he was referring to Gu Lan. He didn't feel unhappy, but he didn't know what happened to her later...

Seeing that Xu Guizhi was lost in thought and didn't say anything, Du Balong smiled as he opened a wooden box, took out an oil thread from the box, and took out some sculpting tools from the side, then left with Xu Guizhi.

To make a clay sculpture, they had to go to the cold pond to sift the mud, so Du Balong took the tools and took Xu Guizhi to the cold pond. As soon as they left, the Moon Shadow Turtle arrived.
