Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 150
Li Qian finally found out that all of them obeyed an old man called "Guru".

The guru has an extraordinary status in the village, wears a yellow robe all day long, and everyone respects him like a god.

Li Qian also asked her husband what the identity of the master was, but the husband told her without hesitation that the master was a master of Yijiao.

After hearing this answer, Li Qian was completely terrified.

Ever since she was a child, Li Qian had heard the elders in her natal family mention that there used to be an organization called the Wing Sect. They had mysterious and evil powers, and there were many believers in Wushe County.

Later, Yijiao rebelled and was suppressed by the government.At that time, many people died, blood flowed into rivers, and bones became mountains.

Whenever the elders in the family talked about this matter, they did not hesitate to use various tragic examples to illustrate the cruelty at the beginning.

This has always been Li Qian's childhood nightmare.

And at this time, there is a Yijiao member in the village, which is a felony!
If the government finds out, Li Qian knows in her heart that not only will her family be harmed, but also the child in her womb will be harmed.

This kind of worry that has been suppressed in her heart made Li Qian's sleep worse and worse. During the day, she was listless and always felt sleepy, but at night she was in good spirits.

"Tom, tom, tom, tom!"

A burst of footsteps sounded on the stone road running through the village.

Li Qian began to feel scared, and she couldn't help but tighten the quilt covering her body.

She knew that it was the master of Yijiao who started the activity.

"Jingle Bells"

The crisp copper bells echoed in the village and penetrated into everyone's ears.

Then, the old voice could be clearly heard shouting melodiously: "Fu Sheng Zuo Ming, Yi teaches the law!"

The village was dark, but rustling noises could be heard from every house.

Li Qian was even more frightened, she knew that the villagers started to get up at that time.

When the moon is full, following the call of Master Yijiao, they will leave the house like a night tour, and follow the master towards the back mountain.

Beside Li Qian, a figure suddenly sat up on the bed, it was her husband.

The husband didn't wear any clothes or shoes, his feet were on the ground, and he was about to head out of the house.

Li Qian usually dare not take care of her husband's affairs, but tonight she was really scared, especially when the baby in her belly was about to be born.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand to hold her husband: "I won't go tonight, okay?"

The husband was silent, and he turned his head slowly.

"Ah!" Li Qian couldn't help but let out a sharp scream, and she retracted her hands as if they were being burned. She kept curling up towards the corner of the wall, trying to stay away from her husband.

The moonlight cast from the window sills shone on her husband's face, which was a terrifying and unfamiliar face.

Her husband's eyes, like nocturnal animals, emitted a green light.His face was as pale as paper, and a few fangs in his mouth protruded from his lips, and saliva dripped continuously along the white fangs.

Li Qian couldn't stop trembling all over. She huddled in the corner of the wall and bit the corner of the quilt tightly, not daring to let herself continue to make a sound.

The sound of the copper bell gradually faded away in the village, and the low footsteps of the villagers followed one after another.

The husband turned his head, opened the door stiffly, and followed the bell.

The soft sunlight began to spread all over the earth, and as the sun rose, everything around became alive.

After a night of trekking, Zhang Yuqing and his party finally crossed this lush grassland.

Standing on the edge and looking back, there is nowhere in the grassland where there is a hidden danger like last night.

At this time, the grassland is a blue color, like a clear lake fluctuating with the wind, the color between the sky and the earth is distinct, but it seems to be connected as one.

Traveling overnight is not a problem for Zhang Yuqing.

But the four children were exhausted, which made Zhang Yuqing have to stop for a while.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuqing had nothing to worry about at this time, so he didn't feel agitated.

Zhang Yuqing raised his head and looked into the distance.

On one side is a lush coppice, on the other side is the end of a section of mountains.

Several strands of cooking smoke rose from behind the dwarf forest, and if there was cooking smoke, it meant that there were people.

"Don't rest, it's time to go!"

Although the four children were tired, no one complained. They carried their burdens and followed Zhang Yuqing.

A group of people walked through the undergrowth, and an official road appeared in front of them.

After walking along the official road for a whole noon, at dusk, I finally came to a prosperous town.

The town seemed to be holding some kind of celebration, with lights and festoons everywhere, and the sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time.

Five people entered the town, as if they were catching up with a temple fair, and there were many vendors setting up stalls everywhere.

Even though it was approaching dusk, people were coming and going, and it was very lively.

The little boy Ding Ze stared at his surroundings intently: "There are so many people!"

Chen Yin and Li Siyan also looked around: "Look! There are colorful lanterns for sale over there! And there! There are sugar figures there!"

Qian Luo confessed to the three children in a low voice: "Don't be like a bumpkin, just take a look and don't talk, you can't embarrass the master!"

The three children immediately shut their mouths, but their big dark eyes were still full of curiosity about everything around them, as if the fatigue of the whole day had disappeared.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the streets behind.

Everyone looked back one after another, and saw a team returning to the town. Some people danced dragons and lions in the team, and some beat gongs and drums. It was very lively.

Zhang Yuqing led the children to find an inn, and then walked in: "Shopkeeper, open two rooms! Prepare another table of meals."

The shopkeeper behind the counter put down the account book he was recording, looked up at Zhang Yuqing, and said suspiciously:
"Outsider?"

Zhang Yuqing laughed and said, "The shopkeeper has good eyesight!"

The shopkeeper touched the two mustaches under his nose, and said with a smile:

"Our place in Erquan Town usually doesn't have many outsiders, so there are more visitors from outside during this period. So you can basically tell by looking at your face, guest officer.

Come, come, sit here first.The guy in the room is cleaning up, I'll go and order the kitchen to prepare meals for you first! "

There are many square tables in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, many of which are full of guests who eat and drink.

The shopkeeper brought Zhang Yuqing to an empty table and invited five people to sit down.

After sitting down, Zhang Yuqing couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, is there some kind of happy event going on in this town?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "It seems that the guest officer must be from outside Wushe County! This is an important custom in our Wushe County. Every year on this day, we hold a festival."

"Sunday Festival?" It was the first time Zhang Yuqing heard about this celebration.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Every year after today, the days in Wushe County get shorter, the nights get longer, and the weather gets colder every day.

That's why the common people held day sacrifices one after another, praying that the daylight hours would be longer, so that those evil spirits would lie dormant one after another, and would no longer harm the world. "

After finishing speaking, another new guest arrived outside the inn, and the shopkeeper rushed to greet him.

Zhang Yuqing pulled the teapot on the table and began drinking tea to quench his thirst.But they found that although the four children were silent, they were still staring at the sugar man's booth on the street opposite the inn.

He couldn't help smiling: "Do you want a sugar man?"

Ding Ze, Li Siyan and Chen Yin nodded immediately: "Yes!"

Qian Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Yuqing glanced at the sugar figurine booth, and saw that there were so many sugar figurines on it, he asked, "Which one do you want?"

The four children immediately shouted: "I want that little butterfly!" "I want that horse!"

"I want butterflies too!" "I want that gourd!"

Zhang Yuqing took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table: "If you want to buy it yourself, you can go alone."

The little boy Ding Ze quickly grabbed Sui Yin and jumped off the bench: "Thank you master! By the way, master, which one do you want?"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head: "Master doesn't want it, just go and buy yours."

Ding Ze nodded, and immediately ran out of the inn, holding Sui Yin tightly.

The other three girls couldn't help looking at Ding Ze's back expectantly.

Zhang Yuqing poured a full cup of tea and drank it, and couldn't help smiling. It was a bit troublesome to bring a bunch of children, but at least he didn't look so lonely.

Seeing that Ding Ze just ran to the door, something unexpected happened suddenly.

A booted foot suddenly kicked towards Ding Ze. Before Ding Ze could even react, his small body was already kicked out and hit the door frame.

Then came a man's voice: "Where did you come from, you almost hit me, grandpa!"

When Ding Ze got up from the ground, there was already a cut on his forehead, and blood was slowly flowing out from it.

I saw a man and a woman stepping across the threshold. The man's face was full of flesh and he looked very fierce.The woman is full of makeup, charming and enchanting.

Both of them were wearing purple robes, even the patterns on them were roughly the same, they seemed to be some kind of uniforms.They carried burdens on their backs and held long swords in their hands, talking and laughing all the way in.

I only heard the man say: "Junior Sister, after this martial arts conference is over, I don't think we should rush to learn martial arts. Brother will take you around to have fun."

The woman giggled and said, "Senior brother, you are not afraid of master's blame, are you?"

The two talked while walking, as for Ding Ze whose forehead was kicked to the side, they had completely ignored him.

The man and woman were walking, when suddenly their eyes went dark, and a man quietly blocked in front of the two of them, and the man couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pushed towards Zhang Yuqing:
"Go away, don't block—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuqing had already grabbed his outstretched right hand and folded it violently.

"what!!!"

The man let out a miserable scream, and his hand had been broken in the opposite direction.

Without stopping, Zhang Yuqing grabbed the man's head and pushed him against the door frame. "Boom!"

The door frame was broken by the man's head, blood splashed on the white wall.

Zhang Yuqing let go of his hand, and the man fell limply to the ground with a wound on his head.

Zhang Yuqing turned his head and looked at Ding Ze who was covering his forehead: "How is it?"

Ding Ze said with some fear: "Master, I'm fine, I don't hurt."

At this moment, the man covered his head and said sharply:
"Your Excellency is kind! Do you know who I am?"

In the fight just now, the man already knew that he was far from being Zhang Yuqing's opponent. At this time, he could only get out of the division to save face.

Zhang Yuqing pretended not to hear it, and took Ding Ze with him to leave.

If he wants revenge, he can let his horse come. As for the verbal dispute, Zhang Yuqing has no patience.

I only heard the man stand up from the ground and continue to say gloomyly:

"Your Excellency is so courageous! I am a member of the Purple Light Sword Sect. If you have the guts, leave your name! Our Purple Light Sword Sect will definitely come to visit you in the future!"

Zhang Yuqing turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Threatening me?"

The man's eyes were extremely fierce: "If you are an enemy of our Purple Light Sword Sect, you will have to pay the price in blood!"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head helplessly: "The most annoying ones are you guys, who are obviously pitifully weak, but don't know how to advance or retreat, and just like to talk nonsense!"

These men and women are just warriors in the body refining state, and to Zhang Yuqing, they are no different from ordinary people.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuqing took a step forward and stretched out his hand to grab the man's neck, and then exerted force with his hand, only to hear "click!", and the man's neck was broken.

As soon as Zhang Yuqing let go, the man's body lay limply on the ground.

The woman froze in place for a while, then suddenly her figure flickered, and she frantically fled towards the distance.

The guests in the inn saw that the conflict was over, so they continued to eat and drink.It seemed that the murder that happened just now did not have much impact on their lives.

Zhang Yuqing brought Ding Ze to the counter: "Shopkeeper, can you call a doctor?"

"Okay! Guest officer, wait a moment." The shopkeeper replied, while ordering to the waiter: "Go and get some incense ash first, help this young man stop the bleeding, and then go and invite Zhang Langzhong over!"

After giving the order, the shopkeeper looked at Zhang Yuqing with a smile again: "The ashes cost money, the clerks in my shop also needed money to run errands, and I also needed money to repair the door frame and ask someone to paint the walls. The customers were frightened and affected my shop. The business here also needs money, you see, guest officer.”

Zhang Yuqing took out a silver ingot and put it on the counter.

Jin Biao prepared a lot of silver taels for him on the passenger ship, so Zhang Yuqing is not short of money at present.

When the shopkeeper saw the silver ingot, he hurriedly put it back under the counter, and his smile became brighter: "Guest officer, you will be here later, the doctor will be here soon. I will invite two people to take this corpse away, otherwise it will affect your appetite, guest officer." .”

Not only the diners are not afraid of fighting to the death, but even the shopkeeper looks the same, which makes Zhang Yuqing very curious.

He asked: "Shopkeeper, aren't you afraid of murder?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, you are an outsider, so you don't know anything. Our Wushe County is close to the border, where the three countries meet.

As long as someone commits a crime, he will flee to another country as soon as he runs away.Therefore, the folk customs in our place are violent, and there are gatherings of outlaw lunatics.As long as it is not a local accident, the death of one or two outsiders is nothing. "

Zhang Yuqing asked again: "The government will always send people to investigate routinely?"

Zhang Yuqing had worked in the Yamen and knew the official procedures.

"Government? The guest officer is joking," the shopkeeper replied, "Our small local government in Erquan Town can't control it. It is the sub-helm of the Star Demon Sea who makes the decisions here."

"Star Demon Sea?"

"If you want to talk about this Wushe County, it is jointly managed by three major forces. The government is one, the Azure Dragon Society is the second, and the Star Demon Sea is the third. The land in the southwest of us is the sphere of influence of the Star Demon Sea. "

Zhang Yuqing understood that the Star Demon Sea was a powerful gang that could stand on its own in Wushe County.

Zhang Yuqing had heard of this situation in Lucheng.In this mortal world, the government is only managed in name, and in many special places such as Wushe County, where the three countries meet, some big gangs can divide their spheres of influence.
