I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 117

"Master, since we are here, let's go up and have a look? After all, he said he can cure your illness?" The coachman looked up at him.

How many monks in the temple are not easy to deal with?
"What are you looking at, what disease is there to treat when you are dead? Cough cough." There was another cough in the carriage.

"go back!"

"Yes, sir!" The groom drove the carriage back.

By this time the sky had darkened.

"Master, why don't we go to Guobei County for one night before leaving?"

"Don't stop, go all night!"

"Yes, sir."

The coachman drove the carriage back the way it had come.

Under the night, the clatter of horseshoes and the creaking of wheels were particularly loud.

Woo, a black air suddenly flew across the air.

"Monster!" The driver who was driving the car immediately became nervous.

The curtain on the side of the carriage was lifted, and the people inside glanced outside.

Suddenly a ray of light flashed in the air, and then the black air dissipated, as if a bubble had been pricked by a needle, and then something fell down.

Hiss, the driver took a deep breath.

"parking!"

The people in the car yelled softly.The carriage stopped on the official road.

"master?"

Shhh, the people in the car made soft noises as if they were afraid of someone.

Woo, a gust of autumn wind blows, with a bit of coldness, blowing off a few dead leaves.

The coachman vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, as long as he moved slightly, his body would be decapitated.

In the woods several miles away, Wang Zhe looked at a corpse on the ground.

Wearing a black robe with strange blue patterns embroidered on his face.

He was full of evil spirits, and dared to cross the sky nearby. He happened to be watching the sky at night. He came over from the mountain and cut him off with a sword.

"And over there, there must be a carriage on the official road, the carriage that caused Ye Zhiqiu a big loss."

The carriage was also a bit weird, there was only the driver's aura on the carriage, and the aura of the people in the carriage was mostly covered.

Wang Zhe didn't delve into it, got up and left.

An hour later, the carriage resumed its journey.

"master?"

"It should be him, silence, let's go!"

"Yes!"

The driver's body was tense, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It's a good thing I didn't do anything at Lanruo Temple just now!" The driver imagined that he was afraid for a while.

The carriage walked slowly on the official road, without stopping all night, and walked for hundreds of miles until dawn.

"My lord, we're beyond the boundary of Kuaiji Mansion." The coachman couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

The rumors were indeed true, the first-rank expert had not left the Kuaiji Mansion.

"Du Changshan, you are asking me to throw stones and ask for directions. Do you really think I am ignorant? The friendship of so many years is broken today!"

Shan County is nearly [-] miles away from the mountain where Wang Zhe practiced.

In a mountain village, a man riding a horse came early in the morning, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was Ye Zhiqiu
After entering the village, he asked someone for directions. He came to a house and knocked on the door. Inside the door was an old man in his 60s with gray hair and a slightly hunched back.

"Hi old man, is this Fei An's house?"

"Yes, it's just that my son is far away and has not returned." The old man said.

"I'm Ye Zhiqiu, and I'm Fei An's friend. This is the letter that Fei An asked me to bring. Here is 50 taels of silver." Ye Zhiqiu took out the letter and a package containing the silver.

He spent all his money on the journey and sold all the horses, but he didn't touch the money, not at all.

"Oh, thank you, come in and sit down and drink some water." The old man hastily invited Ye Zhiqiu into the room and called his wife out.

"How is my son over there?"

"Brother Fei is very good in Qin, but he is busy with business these days, so he can't come back to visit you for a while, let me tell you, don't worry about it." Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said white lies.

"Then did he say when he'd be back?"

"If there are no accidents, I will come back years ago!"

After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, the two old people were very happy.

Hey, Ye Zhiqiu sighed when he saw this. In fact, Fei An was very sick. He had sought treatment from many doctors in Qin, but they didn't see any effect. I'm afraid it won't last long.

The old man could read some words and read to his wife what his son wrote in the letter.

Having fulfilled his friend's entrustment, Ye Zhiqiu bid farewell and left.

The old man insisted on giving Ye Zhiqiu a piece of silver, but he declined.

After leaving his friend's house, Ye Zhiqiu felt a little heavy.

Thinking of my good friend who was lying in the hospital bed, his parents were waiting for him to come back, but after waiting so hard, they waited for the news of his son's death, so those two old people must be distraught.

"Hey, I don't know if the expert who saved me yesterday has a way to treat Fei An.

It's a pity that I don't know if I can meet him again. "

Ye Zhiqiu thought of the expert he met yesterday.

After leaving the village, he hurried to the place where he met the expert yesterday.

"Engong, in the autumn of the leaves, please see me." After dismounting, he shouted in the forest, startling a group of birds, but there was no response other than that.

"That expert must have passed by here. Then I will wait here for another two days. If I can meet him again, Brother Fei An may be saved."

Then Ye Zhiqiu found a clean place in the woods and sat down, took out the few pieces of paper that Wang Zhe gave him that recorded "Nanzhai Sword Manual" and began to read them carefully.

Outside Guobei County, at the foot of Lanruo Temple Mountain, a middle-aged man carrying a wooden box was a little puzzled.

"Strange, where is the person?"

"Master, did Senior Lu forget it?" asked the young disciple beside him.

"Impossible. I said it well in the letter. We will meet at the foot of this mountain today. Let's wait for him!"

"Yes."

They waited for a day, but they didn't wait for the arrival.

"Master, something happened to Senior Lu, right?" The young disciple was a little worried.

"His cultivation base is so high, he has already reached the second rank, what can happen? Wait."

So the master and apprentice waited for another day, but they still didn't find the person they were waiting for.

"Well, what's going on here?"

"Master, why don't we do it directly?"

"No, we can't do it with just the two of us."

"Master, aren't you carrying ecstasy smoke, those monks are nothing to worry about!"

"Those monks are easy to deal with, but that old locust tree is not so easy to deal with." The middle-aged man said.

"The exercises that Lu Yan practiced are of great help to us in dealing with that ancient locust tree. Wait and see, he may have been delayed by something."

At night, it was quiet.

Wang Zhe was looking at the sky on the mountain, and saw another black air coming from the northwest direction.

"again?"

He soared into the sky, arrived at the man's side in an instant, and then swung his sword to slash him down.

Before the man had time to react, he saw a ray of light, and his head fell from mid-air in a different place.

This man was dressed the same as the man the day before yesterday, with a black robe and the same weird pattern on his face.

"Look at the attire and decorations. This person is from the same organization or gang as the person from yesterday. He is full of evil spirits and comes here one after another. What is he doing?"

In Kuaiji Mansion, a hundred miles away, in a manor outside the city.

With a light on, two men in black robes sat opposite each other, both of them closed their eyes and did not speak.Sitting like this until dawn.

In the early morning, when the sun rose, the room was still a bit dark, and one of them suddenly opened his eyes.

"Akui is gone too."

"At night, it's the wilderness again, what will he encounter, could it be that one of the best?" The man opposite also opened his eyes.

"When we arrived, the King of Dharma specifically told us to be careful about this person. It must be that Akui and the others didn't cover up their aura when they went out, and they were discovered by that person."

"Then what do we do?"

"Seal your breath, disguise yourself, and go find that tomb during the day!"

"it is good!"

The two used spells to seal their aura, then changed their appearance, changed the conspicuous robes on the outside, and put on ordinary coarse clothes on the boat, then left the city and headed towards Guobei County.

On the mountain road not far from Lanruo Temple,
"Master, are we still waiting?"

"Don't wait, follow me to Luokeng Mountain to find Lu Yan and see what's going on."

"Yes, Master."

The master and apprentice rode away immediately, and on the way, they met two men on horseback.

The two men were dressed in coarse cloth, expressionless.

Four people and four horses passed by without stopping.

After walking about a mile, the middle-aged man suddenly reined in and looked back.

"Why master?"

"Those two people have problems, and they make it easy."

"Then, shall we follow along?"

"No, it's important to do business."

The other two also stopped, looking back at the empty road.

"The man just now was Du Changshan, a subordinate of Fu Qing'an, Marquis of Dingyang."

"Marquis Dingyang of Ganzhou? What are his men doing here? Could it be that they came here for the tomb?"

"It's hard to say, no matter what, we have to find the tomb as soon as possible."

"There are mountains all around here. If you use spells and you are afraid of alarming that person, how can you find them?"

"The Taoist man in purple is a practitioner and is proficient in spells. He will naturally choose a geomantic treasure for himself. Let's start with those geomantic treasures."

"Alright."

Two days later, the two men were standing at the foot of a collapsed mountain peak.

One still held a piece of jade in his hand.

"It should be here. The mountain torrent collapsed the mountain and washed out the treasures inside."

"Look, there is a sword mark there." A person pointed to the faintly visible sword mark on the rock.

"So he's been here?"

"Go in and see!"

The two of them activated their spells, and it took a while to remove the rocks outside, revealing a gap, saw the inner passage, and then entered the tomb.

In the tomb, they saw the beheaded two-winged centipede.

Although the centipede had been beheaded for several days, its carapace was as bright as ever, like steel.

"This centipede has already become a spirit, what a pity!"

"Sword mark, he has been here before." One person reached out and touched the sword mark.

"Go, go in and have a look."

The two entered the tomb, came to the inner and outer coffins, opened the coffin lid first, and saw the corpse inside which had been cut into two pieces by a sword.

"It's him, Taoist in purple!"

"Looking at this, he became a ghost corpse and was beheaded by that one."

"Hurry up and look around to see if there are any clues to the Eight Desolation Monument!"

"Look at the coffin lid." One of them pointed to the inside of the coffin lid.

Where is the future, it is hard to find in the eight wildernesses.

"He really did look for the Eight Desolation Monument!"

The two directly lifted the body that had been chopped into two parts out of the coffin, and searched the inside and outside of the coffin.

Then they searched the inside and outside of the tomb again, but they couldn't find what they were looking for.

One of them looked at the purple robe with a sword mark on the purple robed Taoist, stepped forward to take off the purple robe, and then checked it carefully.

An abnormality was found in the sleeve of the right hand, and when it was torn open, it turned out to be a picture.

The two took a closer look at the torch, and then looked at each other.

"Treasure Map!"

"Fortunately, that one just killed the Yin Corpse and didn't search his body carefully."

"Maybe he just came here to conquer the demons, and he doesn't know the origin of this purple-clothed Taoist."

The two collected the treasure map, searched all the financial reports in the tomb, and then left cautiously.

The two left in a hurry after leaving the tomb of the Taoist in purple.
