Longevity: Starting from Kaiyizhuang

Chapter 118 Classics
With the sound of the corpse-driving bell, it must be that a Taoist priest has come here to drive a corpse.

If a private family encounters such a situation, they will of course open their doors to welcome guests.

Taoist priests who are driving corpses usually do not rest in inns, as they are worried that the inn owners will feel unlucky. The only places they can rest are the charity cemeteries located in various places.

Zhang Chu walked to the gate of the charity cemetery and opened it directly.

The sound of the corpse-driving bells was getting closer and closer. He could already see a row of corpses with yellow talismans on their foreheads jumping towards the charity cemetery.

"Hello, Senior Chizuru,"

Zhang Chu saw a few Taoists driving corpses and hurried over to them. "Why are you doing this job?"

"Ha ha,"

Taoist Qianhe smiled and said, "Except for those who have their own Taoist temples, the Taoist priests of Maoshan have no fixed place to live. If they don't drive corpses, they have nothing else to do!"

"Senior, please come in!"

Zhang Chu thought about it for a moment and then understood.

For the Maoshan Taoist priests who come down the mountain, they are accumulating good deeds, that is, accumulating good karma.

In addition to slaying demons and monsters, returning home for those who died in a foreign land can not only earn a certain amount of money, but is also a way to accumulate good karma.

Of course, it is too easy for the Maoshan Taoist priests to get money.

However, that easy method is detrimental to one's virtue, and generally people with great ambitions would not take this approach.

"it is good!"

Taoist Qianhe followed Zhang Chu to the reception room to get it.

As for the group of "clients" he brought with him, they were sent to the morgue in the charity cemetery by his four apprentices.

The four people from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest were quite familiar with Zhang Chu's charity cemetery. They didn't need Zhang Chu to lead the way at all. They could send the "customers" to their "guest rooms".

Sitting in the guest room, they chatted for a while, and when the four people from the east, south, west and north came back, seeing the slightly tired eyes of Taoist Master Qianhe and his disciples, Zhang Chu immediately had the guest room cleaned up, "Senior, why don't you take a rest first?"

"I am not too tired!"

Taoist Qianhe looked at the sky and naturally knew what Zhang Chu was going to do. "It's just right for you to go and see what the mass grave is like!"

"Senior, please!"

After a brief thought, Zhang Chu agreed, "But only the senior can enter."

"I know,"

Taoist Qianhe nodded immediately. With a token that allowed him to freely enter and exit the Demon Sealing Array, he could only take two people with him at most. Then he turned his head and said to all directions, "You guys go and rest first!"

"Yes, Master!"

Dongnanxibei immediately stood up and nodded in agreement.

Without paying any more attention to the four people in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, Zhang Chu took Taoist Qianhe and walked towards the direction of the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array, which was where the mass grave was.

As soon as he stepped into the mass grave, Taoist Qianhe's expression became extremely solemn, "Changsheng, more and more corpse qi and death qi are seeping out!"

"Senior is right!"

While Zhang Chu was manipulating the Corpse King Banner and the fourteen corpses to absorb corpse qi and death qi, he replied to Taoist Qianhe, "The Great Sun Sealing Demon Formation is completed. Although it can eliminate corpse qi and death qi during the day, at night, the power of the formation weakens, and the corpse qi and death qi increase, and the quality is also getting higher and higher."

"you say,"

Taoist Qianhe pondered for a moment, "Maybe the existence below the mass grave knew that a sealing formation had been set up above it."

"During the day, the corpse qi and death qi that seep out will be eliminated, and only seep out in large quantities at night?"

"possible!"

Zhang Chu thought about it and realized that in recent days, the corpse qi and death energy that had been emitted during the day had indeed been completely eliminated. Only at night would the corpse qi be present in waves.

"Then you better be careful!"

After hearing this, Taoist Qianhe was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

Since the monsters below the mass grave can detect the situation above, it is natural that Zhang Chu would be in danger if he frequently went in and out of the demon-sealing formation.

"Thank you for your concern, senior!"

Zhang Chu nodded, and then controlled the Corpse King Banner and the fourteen refined corpses to absorb the corpse qi and death qi.

After an incense stick of time had passed, the corpse qi and death qi that had been sealed in the Demon Sealing Array had completely disappeared, all absorbed by the Corpse King Banner and the refined corpse.

"senior,"

Seeing that there was no more corpse qi or death qi in the Demon Sealing Array, Zhang Chu said to Taoist Qianhe, "Let's go back!"

"Wait a mininute!"

Seeing that Zhang Chu was standing at the edge of the formation and had no intention of going to the mass grave, he waved his hand and said, "Wait for me to go over and take a look!"

After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Chu to respond, Taoist Qianhe walked directly to the edge of the mass grave and sensed it silently.

After a cup of tea, Taoist Qianhe came over from the mass grave. His face was very ugly, "Go back first!"

Zhang Chu took out the token for entering and exiting the Demon Sealing Array and walked out directly with Taoist Qianhe.

"senior,"

On the way back to the charity cemetery, Zhang Chu looked at Taoist Qianhe who looked grim and asked, "What's the problem?"

"I have already vaguely seen what is sealed under the mass grave!"

"The seal below is broken?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chu was also shocked.

He is near the mass grave. If anything happens, he will be the first to be affected.

"It's not broken,"

Taoist Qianhe shook his head, "It's just that the crack is getting bigger and bigger!"

"I'm afraid the seal won't last for a few more years!"

Zhang Chu was silent for a while, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate!"

He is not a tall man to begin with, so if something really happens, there will be someone taller to help him.

After hearing this, Taoist Qianhe was also at a loss as to what to do.

In the Dharma Ending Age, the higher the level of cultivation, the more unlucky one will be. Nowadays, there are not many people with profound magical powers.

Take Maoshan for example. Before Shi Jian died, he was the person with the highest magical power in the entire Maoshan. However, after he died, Lin Fengjiao became the most powerful person.

Unfortunately, Lin Fengjiao had injured her vitality in the battle with Zhang Chu some time ago, so it was good enough that she could maintain her current level of cultivation.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the charity cemetery.

"senior,"

After entering the charity cemetery, Zhang Chu said to Taoist Qianhe, "Go and have a rest first!"

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Taoist Master Qianhe walked straight towards the guest hall.

Although Zhang Chu was confused, he still followed him.

"Longevity,"

After sitting in the guest hall, Taoist Qianhe took the backpack that had just been placed on the ground and said, "This is what my uncle asked me to give to you!"

"That senior?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Chu took it. There were thick books all over the bamboo building. He took out one and took a look. It was about Feng Shui.

"senior,"

Zhang Chu flipped through it and put the book back in. "Thank that senior for me!"

"I've given you this thing, use it well."

After saying that, Taoist Qianhe stood up and said, "I'm going to take a rest now!"

Zhang Chu also stood up immediately and sent Taoist Qianhe to the guest room.

"Changsheng," just as Zhang Chu was about to leave the guest room, Taoist Qianhe's voice rang out, "Wencai Qiusheng has also received the punishment he deserves!"

"It's time to settle the feud between you and Senior Brother Lin!"

"Junior understands!"

After hearing this, Zhang Chu paused and walked out.

As for what punishment Wencai Qiu Sheng received, Zhang Chu didn't care!
The formations and Feng Shui books from Mount Mao have been delivered, and Zhang Chu has to collect them quickly. If they are lost, the loss will be huge.

He really didn't expect that Maoshan actually sent these books to him.

When Shi Jian's soul appeared in the world, he had already passed on his unique skills and the techniques he had collected in his daily life to Zhang Chu.

He thought that this was Maoshan's fulfillment of its promise, but he didn't expect that those skills were actually passed on to him by Shi Jian himself.

Whether it is the Lightning Thunder Fist or the Wooden Stake Technique, Zhang Chu has methods of practicing them in his mind.

However, without sufficient cultivation, how could Zhang Chu practice?

If one wants to practice the Wooden Stake Technique or the Lightning Thunder Fist, he must at least wait until Zhang Chu’s cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment stage before he can practice them.

Otherwise, it would be just a waste of time.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chu did not practice.

When he arrived at the living room, Zhang Chu took out all the books in the backpack. There were more than ten books on formations and five or six books on Feng Shui.

Most of the stories are very mysterious. If Zhang Chu wants to understand them thoroughly, he will have to work hard.

He silently put all the books into the storage space, returned to his room and began to practice.

The Corpse King Banner had just absorbed the corpse qi and death energy, and now was the time to cleanse it.

The moon was bright in the sky. Under the moonlight, Zhang Chu was silently washing the Corpse King Banner in his hand. At the same time, he was also repairing the damage caused by the corpse refining with corpse qi and death energy.

Even though this kind of repair is just a drop in the bucket, Zhang Chu is still repairing it continuously.

Nothing happened that night. When Zhang Chu stood up, it was already bright.

The guards had already delivered today's breakfast. Taoist Qianhe and the others were already up and were stretching their bodies.

"Hello, senior,"

Zhang Chu stepped forward and said, "The food is ready, let's eat first!"

"it is good!"

Taoist Qianhe nodded and said to the four people in the east, south, west and north, "Let's eat first!"

Sitting at the dinner table, Zhang Chu chatted with Taoist Qianhe while eating.

"senior,"

Upon hearing that Taoist Qianhe was leaving with several disciples tonight, Zhang Chu immediately tried to persuade them to stay, "How about you stay here for a few more days?"

"Forget it!"

Taoist Qianhe waved his hand, "The family of the 'client' is waiting for them to go home!"

"How can we delay too long?"

"I came here last night, firstly to send you something, and secondly to purchase some items!"

"Sun Tian,"

Hearing this, Zhang Chu immediately said to the guard Sun Tian beside him, "Find a few people and follow the four people from the southeast, northwest, and buy supplies!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Sun Tian, ​​who was standing aside, immediately agreed.

"senior,"

After finishing the meal, Zhang Chu also stood up and said, "I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you any longer!"

"Go and do your own thing!"

Zhang Chu nodded, turned and walked out, and Sun Tian followed closely behind.

"Send a few smart brothers to follow them and find out what's going on between Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai."

As if he remembered something, Zhang Chu spoke to Sun Tian who was following behind him.

"Yes, handsome!"

Although Sun Tian didn't know what was going on, he immediately obeyed the order, then said a few words to the people who followed him, and they left.

Zhang Chu walked straight to the mass grave nearby, while Sun Tian and the others stood not far away and waited silently.

During the day, when the sun is at its strongest, it is a good time to practice the Shenzhaojing. How could Zhang Chu give up?
He didn't want to give up the time for cultivation at all.

He sat cross-legged in the formation, practicing the Shenzhaojing silently.

After a period of practice, it was already noon. Zhang Chu stood up, took out the token, and walked out of the formation.

"Marshal,"

Seeing Zhang Chu coming out of the formation, Sun Tian stepped forward and said, "Those brothers have already come back with them after shopping."

"They bought a lot of glutinous rice, cinnabar, and yellow paper."

"oh oh!"

Zhang Chu didn't care much about what they purchased. "What did you find out?"

"The scholar Qiu Sheng you asked about was expelled from the Maoshan sect for disrespecting his teachers after he returned!"

"Ok?"

After hearing the result, Zhang Chu felt a sense of relief and nodded, "I understand!"

Zhang Chu inexplicably thought of the bronze mirror that appeared in Hong Kong Island in the future, and a vague idea emerged in his mind.

It is very likely that after Wencai Qiu Sheng was expelled from his master's school, Lin Fengjiao went to Hong Kong Island and transformed herself into a detective in order to make a living.

As for why he could live so long?

Is this not easy?
It is normal for one to live longer when one’s cultivation reaches Lin Fengjiao’s level.

However, what puzzled Zhang Chu was that, since Lin Fengjiao could live to that time, why did there be no news about Taoist Simu, whose cultivation was only slightly inferior to Lin Fengjiao's?
Did something happen again?

Although he was thinking about something in his mind, he had no intention of stopping and walked quickly towards the charity cemetery.

When they arrived at the gate of the charity cemetery, Zhang Chu turned around and asked, "Is the food ready?"

"Ready,"

Sun Tian quickly replied, "It has been delivered!"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Chu nodded and walked into the charity cemetery, "Master Qianhe, you are a distinguished guest, please don't neglect me!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Sun Tian nodded immediately.

As smart as he is, he can naturally see that among so many Taoist priests, only Taoist Priest Qianhe is treated specially by his own commander, so naturally he dare not neglect him.

"I've met senior!"

When they walked into the guest hall of the charity cemetery, a large table of dishes was already set out, but neither Taoist Qianhe nor his disciples had any intention of picking up their chopsticks. "Why aren't you eating?"

"How can I use it when the owner hasn't arrived yet?"

Taoist Qianhe smiled.

"Senior, you don't have to wait for me!"

After hearing this, Zhang Chu sat down and smiled, "Just eat first!"

"please!"

Having said that, he quickly invited Taoist Qianhe and the others to eat.
