Chapter 176 Encountering the Immortal

"Senior Sister, she has been in the mansion for so long, and you..."

Chen Sanshi asked tentatively.

Rong Yanqiu said unhappily, "I can't beat her, but fortunately, apart from making a sour face, she didn't hurt anyone. Otherwise, I would have to mobilize the army and ask the Martial Saint to encircle and suppress her."

"Thank you, Senior Sister. I'll go back and check on you, Chihiro!"

Chen Sanshi handed Xixi to Sun Li, then rode his horse and rushed into the city.

When we arrived outside Chen's house, everything seemed no different from usual.

"Oh, the master is back!"

Si Qin Mohua came out to greet him.

Chen Sanshi gave him a look.

Siqin understood and whispered, "In the bedroom."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi dismounted and entered the yard. Before he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw two streams of energy inside.

One of them had a strong spiritual energy in his body, which was not much weaker than that of the old emperor. He was truly... an uninvited guest.

"Squeak."

He pushed open the door.

I saw.

In the room filled with the fragrance of flowers, Gu Xinlan was doing needlework, while on the bed, another woman in black was sitting cross-legged.

This woman has dark eyebrows like emerald feathers, skin like fat jade, a delicate face like peach blossoms, golden silk ornaments on her hair, black gauze fluttering in the wind like thick ink, and pearl and jade hairpins shining brightly. She looks like a fairy from heaven, yet with a dignified figure. Her celestial appearance is hard to describe, and her majesty is hard to paint.

Looking more closely, her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Gu Xinlan, but her overall temperament gives off a kind of aloof temperament. Noticing someone coming in, she slowly opened her eyes, and her dark and deep pupils contained a condescending pressure.

"Hey, Shi Ge'er is back?"

Gu Xinlan put down the work in her hands and stood up to greet them.

After a brief greeting, Chen Sanshi got straight to the point: "Sister Lan, who is this girl?"

"Sir Chen, you are so forgetful."

The woman's black robe was embroidered with gold edges. Her lips parted slightly, and her voice seemed to fall from the sky, like the sound of a fairy palace: "Master Chen just showed off his power in the three states, causing me to lose soldiers and territory, and you have forgotten it?"

I?
Chen Sanshi re-examined this person.

The woman didn't look at him and said calmly, "My surname is Shen, and my name is Guiyi."

"It turns out to be the Emperor of Qing."

Chen Sanshi nodded and asked, "I just don't know why you came to the home of a senior official?"

"The person in your arms is named Shen Yuzhi, and is..."

The empress paused, "My elder sister from the same father and mother."

"伱......"

Chen Sanshi looked at the empress, then at Lan Jie'er in his arms, digesting the information, and finally came to a somewhat unbelievable conclusion: "The emperor of Qing Kingdom is my sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law?"

The empress frowned slightly, obviously not understanding: "What do you mean?"

"Brother Shi, I didn't mean to hide this from you."

Gu Xinlan explained: "I was still young at that time. If it got out, it would bring disaster to our family."

"I know."

Chen Sanshi certainly understood the reason.

"A country hunter, a scholar who couldn't even pass the imperial examination."

The empress's tone was filled with contempt and anger: "You actually spent seven taels of silver to buy Princess Daqing as a child bride, and she serves you like a slave."

"Return!"

Gu Xinlan was unhappy.

She accused: "My brother Shi is now an earl. You know how powerful he is in the wars over the years. What else is there to pick on?!
"If my father hadn't taken pity on me and scraped together some money to buy me, I would probably be dead in some brothel now.

"As for the servants you mentioned...

"The Chen family wasn't a big family at the time, so why wouldn't the women help share the burden?
"Look, everything is fine now, isn't it?"

Hearing this, the empress's eyebrows twitched slightly and she glanced at her sister, as if reminding her of something.

"Girl, I promised not to go to the city gate to pick someone up. Haven't I given your Majesty the Emperor enough face?"

Gu Xinlan said, "Why don't you call me brother-in-law?"

"Sister, you..."

The empress felt helpless.

She was the ruler of a country, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of this woman. In the end, she could only sigh: "He is just an ordinary person after all."

"Gui Di, you are becoming more and more arrogant."

Gu Xinlan said unhappily: "If you do this again, I will be really angry."

"Forget it, the matter is done, and I have nothing to say."

The Queen of Daqing stood up and left the bedroom.

"Sister Lan."

Chen Sanshi then asked, "At this point, there is nothing to hide, right?"

"Well, Shi Ge'er, you take a seat first."

Gu Xinlan helped her husband sit down and made another cup of tea: "Brother Shi, you should know the word 'proton', right?"

Chen Sanshi nodded.

"Back then, my father was a hostage sent from Qing. Qing and Sheng exchanged hostages to establish friendly trade and jointly resist the barbarians."

Gu Xinlan softly narrated: "Qing Kingdom is different from Sheng Kingdom. The princes who are willing to go out as hostages will be regarded as meritorious. At that time, my father had basically decided on the crown prince, and planned to stay in Dasheng for a few years before returning to take over the regent.

"result……

“At that time, the Emperor’s grandfather suddenly died of illness, and my third uncle took over.

"Afterwards, my third uncle framed my father and dragged him into the dispute among the princes of Sheng State. He charged him with treason and wanted to put our whole family to death.

“Due to that major case, many ministers of Sheng State died, and countless people were exiled.

"At that time, I could only rescue one person, so I let my sister go. My luck wasn't bad either, as I used a fake identity as a minister named Gu to save my life. I was only exiled, not beheaded.

"Then, Brother Shi...

"You should know it now."

There have always been party struggles, and a major purge every eight or ten years is normal.

Chen Sanshi really didn't know about these things.

He jokingly said: "So, I really got a bargain?"

"Brother Shi, are you still making fun of me?"

Gu Xinlan said coquettishly: "I understand that there is nothing good about the royal family. Being an ordinary person is not bad, and my family is living a good life now."

"The royal family..."

Chen Sanshi recalled everything that happened on Ziwei Mountain.

This is true.

Once they become members of the royal family, even fathers and sons, and brothers will become enemies.

The old emperor is not a good person.

But one thing is true, he is lonely and has no friends.

this point.

You can tell from the fact that he always talks about the past with himself.

"and then?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Where did your sister go later?"

He asked this question.

In fact, it was out of curiosity about the spiritual energy in the empress's body.

As far as he knows.

The empress disappeared for many years.

It was not until the coup two years ago that the success was achieved.

"then……"

Gu Xinlan recalled carefully: "She fled with the elders of the clan, and couldn't even return to the territory of Qing Kingdom. She could only hide everywhere and wait for an opportunity to act. I am not sure where she went."

The ends of the earth.

Chen Sanshi was thinking.

I'm afraid his sister-in-law is also a cultivator.

Otherwise, how could he become the king of a country at such a young age?

"what?"

"What about crossing the river??"

After they had almost finished talking about everything, Chen Sanshi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten about his son completely.

"Oh, I don't remember either."

Gu Xinlan looked back at the cradle, but it was nowhere to be seen. "I was only thinking about you coming back today, and Gui Di was also chatting about something, so I forgot about it."

"..."

Chen Sanshi used his [Tracing and Hiding Technique] and [Observing Qi Technique] to full effect, and started looking for his son at home. He walked all the way to the backyard, and only then did he find his son, who had been left on a rattan chair at some point, sleeping quietly.

On the side.

It was a empress in a black robe. She stretched out her scarlet nail polish and gently placed it on his body. She was a little disappointed and murmured, "Another mortal man."

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Chen Sanshi called Siqin to carry him across the river, and asked tentatively, "Why are you calling everyone an ordinary person?"

This guy doesn't seem to be trying to hide his intention of cultivating immortality.

"You don't count."

The empress said expressionlessly: "Disciples of the Sun Xiang Sect can take the path of entering Taoism through martial arts."

"younger sister."

Chen Sanshi sat down in front of her and asked, "You came all the way here, do you have anything else to do besides meeting your sister?"

If it's just recognition.

There was absolutely no need to wait until he came back.

It is still very risky for His Majesty the Emperor to sneak into enemy territory.

After all, she is not the only cultivator in the world.

The empress was obviously resistant to the title of "sister", but she did not deny it. As long as she still recognized her sister, the man in front of her was indeed her brother-in-law in name.

"You do understand."

She looked down at her sister's husband and said, "I want to take her away. Out of respect for my sister, I waited until you came back to inform you.

"What did you say?"

Chen Sanshi looked directly into the other person's eyes: "Even if you want to return to Qing Kingdom, your sister may not agree, right?"

"She has no say."

The empress said coldly: "Chen Sanshi, you don't know yet, Liangzhou will soon be devastated."

"Speak clearly."

After much thought, Chen Sanshi could only think of one thing that could have such a serious consequence of "death to all."

Luotian Mountains!

Still remember.

When he first came to Liangzhou and went into the mountains to hunt for the first time, he saw the dark mysterious energy rising into the sky, coupled with various infected and mutated poisonous beasts. The people in Xunxian Tower called it evil spirit.

Everything has been brewing for a long time.

Moreover, the fourth senior brother also said that the master was also handling this matter.

Is it just that serious...

Life is charcoal.

"Not too stupid."

The empress said leisurely, "I cannot predict what will happen next, but what is certain is that it will not be safe for her to stay here with you."

"What is inside the mountains?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "Liangzhou has sufficient troops, and there are several Martial Saints alone. Is it really impossible to handle it?"

"If you have the guts, go and see for yourself."

The empress did not say it explicitly. After saying this, she stopped talking about it.

"Look, of course I want to see it."

Chen Sanshi would also go into the mountains to hunt animals and cut down ghost vein trees.

While he was thinking about this matter in his mind, he did not forget to ask Siqin and others to prepare meals.

After being away from home for more than half a year, I finally came back, so of course I want to get together with my family.

However, the empress did not interact with anyone. She stayed in Lan Jie'er's room, not eating or drinking, and no one knew what she was doing.

The next day.

Chen Sanshi was thinking about the things in Luotian Mountains, but he had to go to the military camp first. After he came back, there were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with and there was no delay.

The expansion of the camp has been completed for the most part, and the number of people is almost enough. They are all soldiers squeezed out from the garrisons in various places. They can be used after training, but they have not yet been formally divided into organizations. We need to wait until the military generals are also transferred here.

Currently, he has more than 4,000 men under his command, including the Xuanjia Army, but it is not nominally the Hongze Camp, but still a reserve camp.

Including Yan Changqing, Lu Shuhua, Xie Sishu, Bai Tingzhi and others.

Already transferred.

No longer under his command.

With so many talented people, three of whom are Martial Saints, it is naturally impossible for them to serve as his subordinates. To put it bluntly, the previous battles were just trials.

At last.

Chen Sanshi still has to rely on his own men.

Xia Cong, Xiao Zheng and You Jike are three people with open meridians.

These three people have good execution and ability, and are loyal to the court.

He finally had a capable person under his command, and that person was naturally Wang Zhi.

Then came Zhu Tong, Zhao Kang, Wang Li and others to transform their energy.

Chen Sanshi was very pleased.

These people used the best medicinal materials, and finally achieved some success, but it was still not enough...

After the Hongze Camp was formally established, it was predicted that there would be five sections, front, back, left, right and center, with 3,000 people in each section, for a total of 15,000 people.

At least there must be five open meridians.

After dealing with the tedious military affairs, Chen Sanshi went to the pharmacy and began to boil medicine.

On the way back, he would also take time to practice.

Now, there is only one last hurdle left before medical skills can achieve a breakthrough and perfection.

"boom!"

His palms began to continuously strike the black iron cauldron engulfed in the raging flames. With the accumulation of multiple forces, his skill in refining medicine could no longer be described as perfect, but had reached the pinnacle.

It takes many doctors several years just to learn how to make powerful medicine to a qualified level.

But in Chen Sanshi's eyes, these things were inexplicably simple.

You will learn it right away, and you will improve with every practice.

At this moment.

It was as if he could see the toxicity in the medicine through the stove, and he was always able to use his strength with incredible precision and use the extreme heat to refine it.

"Buzz!"

After the palm technique was performed, a furnace of tonic medicine specially designed for warriors with Hua Jin was prepared.

The panel appeared again in front of him.

[Skills: Medical Skills. General (Great)]

【Progress: 0】

[Effect: ..., Medical Saint of the Mortal World]

[The Mortal Medical Saint: The medicine refined by him eliminates all remaining poisons]

All the remaining poison is gone!

What is this concept?
This means that as long as the medicine is made by Chen Sanshi, it tastes like drinking water. It means that even if some people are not very talented, they can reach heights that would otherwise be impossible by taking the medicine.

He looked at his hands, and even he found himself a little unbelievable. He simply took a spoon and tasted the medicine himself.

It is not to be said that it is completely non-toxic. There is still a very small amount of residue in it, so little that it is barely noticeable. If we have to quantify it, 99% of the toxicity has been removed through strength and flames!

Nowadays, as long as the body can withstand the effects of the medicine and metabolize it, you can continue to drink the tonic without worrying about the residual poison and taking it in intervals, which would waste a lot of time.

"Go and call everyone here."

"..."

soon.

The brothers from Poyang who were at the level of Lianzang and above gathered in the pharmacy.

"Sir, how come this medicine has no residual poison?"

Zhao Kang tasted it repeatedly.

If the positive effects of the medicine were not real, he would have thought he was drinking water!
The rest of the people reacted in the same way.

"Don't make any noise."

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "Just like before, I will personally make medicine for you as long as I have time. If there is not enough, I will buy it. Your only task is to practice well. When the end of next year comes, the expedition to the grassland will be a tough battle. Without Hua Jin, let alone making meritorious deeds, I am afraid it will be very difficult for you to survive. Practice is for you to practice on your own."

"grown ups……"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

"grown ups!"

"Brothers, how can you be so worthy!"

"Yes!"

They are not as good as the Xuanjia Army, and even less good than Xiao Zheng and others.

I thought that after the war was over, we would return to Liangzhou and become a secondary force.

Unexpectedly...

The adults still haven't given up on them!

Moreover, his ability in refining medicine is so superb that it is no exaggeration to say that it is the means of an immortal.

"you!"

Zhao Kang warned: "Don't make it known outside, or you'll cause trouble for the adults, understand?"

"clear."

"..."

in fact.

Chen Sanshi just tried his best to keep it a secret.

It doesn't matter if it gets out.

Because he believed that there must be some medical saints in the imperial hospital in the capital. There might not be many, but there must be one or two.

But human power is limited.

One or two medical saints won’t make any difference.

Take Chen Sanshi for example.

The most he could provide was about ten portions, and if he wanted more, he would be too busy.

Not to mention, he himself still needs to practice, so it is impossible for him to be a full-time alchemist.

"grown ups."

The generals were very grateful.

"The Lord is like this, and this old boy surnamed Xu still doesn't know what's good for him!"

"that is!"

"What's wrong with following adults?"

"Will he be indispensable in the future?"

"I heard he's still fighting. It would be best if he died there!"

"..."

Because the acting is so realistic.

The brothers now hate this man deeply and think he is a traitor who sells out his master for personal gain.

Talk about it.

After Chen Sanshi returned to Liangzhou, he received news about Xu Wencai.

Two months ago.

Xu Wencai finished the bandit suppression campaign.

Now the court has sent him a martial saint, who has led tens of thousands of troops to attack the Wei State, the instigator behind the scenes. It is said that he has won victory after victory, and once led his army deep into the enemy's territory alone, using strategies such as the "empty city plan" and "burning the seven mountains". These strategies have now been widely circulated and have become a topic of conversation after dinner.

sometimes.

Chen Sanshi looked at these familiar words and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Will it be...

There is no Zhuge in this world, so Xu Wencai is the real Sleeping Dragon in this world.

The world is full of surprises.

Not only that.

The storytellers even brought up the relationship between the two of them and made a twisted version of it, making it appear as if they were mortal enemies, and the story was made in a very exaggerated way.

"..."

By the time Chen Sanshi finished his work and walked out of the military camp, it was already the hour of Xu. He thought about it and simply turned around and went to Hongxiu Tower, and walked up to the top floor from the back door with ease.

As it turned out, there was already a young man in the room who had bid for the room and went upstairs. He seemed to be the son of the prefect of Liangzhou.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Chen Sanshi questioned Zhao Zhao, who made a face at him, obviously on purpose.

"Master Chen?" The prefect was surprised.

"You go."

Chen Sanshi said that he would be here today.

"This, this is inappropriate!"

The prefect's son said reluctantly, "I spent thousands of taels of silver to have tea and write poems, and finally I could come up and talk to Miss Ningxiang. It's too overbearing for Master Chen to drive me away."

"Here's the silver. Go quickly."

Chen Sanshi took out the silver note and repeated.

"I……"

How could the prefect dare to provoke him?

When it comes to the name of Chen Sanshi, everyone in the world knows him.

He was not only Sun Xiangzong's last disciple, but now he was also an earl. Not to mention himself, even the prefect could not afford to offend him, so in the end he had to leave with great pain.

"What a bully!"

Chen Sanshi shook his head.

This kid doesn't know yet that I have saved him.

Otherwise, even if I could stay, it would just be a phantom for Hua Yin, and I would be stupid for several days after returning...

"General~"

Ningxiang deliberately exposed half of her shoulders: "I didn't expect the general would be jealous of me~"

"I'm jealous, and you're going to suffer."

Chen Sanshi had long been accustomed to the other party's way of speaking.

"Is it true?"

Ningxiang said with some anticipation: "I also want to experience the bitterness of a diamond body~"

"I'm talking about the pain of the flesh."

Chen Sanshi mobilized his strength as a warning.

"嘁~"

Ningxiang rolled her eyes: "Come to think of it, this time in Ziwei Mountain, someone from our Xunxian Tower should have looked for you, right?"

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi thought to himself, it’s more than just looking for.

The twelfth prince wanted to trick him, and eunuch Lao wanted to kill him.

"General, be careful."

Ningxiang reminded: "The other people in Xunxian Tower will not be as sincere to you as I am. They are very bad. It's my fault that I didn't warn you in advance."

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "From what you said, it seems that the people in Xunxian Tower are not of one mind?"

"Even brothers are not of one mind, let alone of the same sect."

Ningxiang said as a matter of course: "The so-called Immortal Seeking Tower, the main purpose is to seek immortals, and immortal opportunities are rare. If you don't fight for them, can they be distributed to everyone in line?
“For example, this time, they found the relics of Emperor Sheng Taizu on Ziwei Mountain, which contained the jade tablet of the immortal world. However, it was robbed by a man named Zhang Laizi, and they suffered a great loss.

“I would say it’s what he deserves.

"Otherwise, the things will only be sold to the owner of the building, and we won't get any share."

"Miss Ningxiang."

Chen Sanshi didn't continue chatting: "How is the thing I asked you to find last time?"

"There is."

Ningxiang's tone seemed to be asking for credit: "And this time the quantity is large, and the quality is better. For the general, I have spent a lot of effort. The general should remember my kindness."

Zhao Zhao carried a piece of black iron that was the size of a human head and placed it on the table with a "dong".

"Thank you, young lady. I owe you a favor!"

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and was about to say goodbye.

"Hey, General, wait a minute."

Ningxiang suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "General, you said last time that you would redeem me."

"Are you serious?"

Chen Sanshi said: "I don't like using the public bus for personal purposes."

"What does it mean to use a public vehicle for private purposes?"

Ningxiang pleaded, "General, if you think it's too expensive, I have saved some money over the years, so I can pay for my redemption myself."

"..."

Chen Sanshi could see that the other party was a little strange.

If you're serious...

I'm afraid he wants to escape from Xunxian Tower by himself?
That would be even more impossible to pay attention to.

He put down the black iron he had just obtained and said, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you with this. I'll return it to you."

"If the general doesn't want me, then forget it~"

Ningxiang said sadly, "General Dongxi should keep them. A piece of iron stone cannot be worth such a big favor as redeeming me. I know this in my heart."

"really?"

"Ah."

"Okay, if you need to collect herbs again, you can come to me."

Chen Sanshi picked up the iron stone again, stood up and left.

Ningxiang held her cheek with her jade hands, watched him leave quietly, and sighed softly.

"Master, I've already told you that this guy won't help us."

Zhao Zhao changed his usual lively attitude and said worriedly, "What should I do next? The host will send someone to look for us soon, otherwise we should leave first."

"Where can you go, my good disciple?"

Ningxiang was surrounded by the aroma and said helplessly, "In this world, only His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Xiangzong can protect you and me. If we really go to the Emperor, we will only die a more miserable death. Only Sun Xiangzong will be left."

"Master..."

Zhao Zhao said: "Otherwise, return the things, maybe the owner of the post..."

"Shut up!"

Ningxiang said angrily: "The things were originally left to me by my ancestors. My father's death was also caused by him. Now I am just taking back my things. Even if I die, I will not give them back."

Zhao Zhao bit her lip and stopped talking.

"Zhao Zhao."

Ningxiang's tone turned gentle again, and she reached out and gently stroked her apprentice's cheek: "Go ahead, the things are with me, no one will make things difficult for you."

"I do not go."

Zhao Zhao said firmly: "Wherever the master is, I will be there."

"Then let's try again."

Ningxiang looked in the direction of Chen's house: "I just don't know where Sun Xiangzong is now. Maybe he is looking for the same thing as the host and the others. If that doesn't work, you can try to contact his senior brother Fang Qingyun first."

……

Chen Mansion.

Chen Sanshi took advantage of the night and jumped lightly on the eaves of the city's roofs holding Tietuo. When he was about to reach his own mansion, he saw a woman in black sitting on the roof, casting a cold look at him under the moonlight.

"Hey, sister, you're still awake so late."

Chen Sanshi said this as he was about to jump into the yard.

"Borthel?"

The empress lowered her eyes slightly, her tone revealing phoenix majesty: "You have my elder sister at home, plus a senior sister, isn't that enough? You go to a brothel as soon as you come back?"

"Sister, don't you have a male lover?"

Chen Sanshi was too lazy to explain.

The empress closed her eyes and said nothing more.

After all the trouble.

It wasn't long before daylight came down.

The empress saw Chen Sanshi, who had not even had an hour's rest, riding his horse and carrying a bow and arrow, and went out again.

"Luotian Mountains?"

……

"Ghost Vein Wood!"

Chen Sanshi rode on Qianxun, planning the purpose of this trip in his mind.

The ghost vein tree must be cut down.

Then there are the exotic beasts. Try to hunt as many as possible.

Strive to break through to the Xuanxiang realm within this month.

Finally, just go as deep as possible and see what’s inside while ensuring your own safety. Even if you can’t handle it, you will have an idea of ​​what’s inside.

"Go."

When they were almost at the top of the mountain, Chen Sanshi patted the horse's back, motioning Qianxun to find a safe place to wait, and then he stepped into the forest with his bow in hand.

Climbed one mountain after another.

Soon, he arrived at the Kujū Mountains filled with miasma.

This time Chen Sanshi was more prepared. The pills for avoiding miasma were worth hundreds of taels and would basically not be affected at all. Then, relying on his memory, he easily found the ghost vein wood.

In his hand, the iron bow opened like a full moon, and then a ghost vein arrow that had been filled with power burst out.

"Roar!"

Inside the tree hole, the black bear, still sleeping soundly, roared in pain.

"You didn't die, you're so resistant to beatings?"

Chen Sanshi immediately fired another arrow.

"clang!"

This time, there was a sound of metal clashing.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow rushed out from the tree hole at an incredibly fast speed and arrived in front of him almost instantly.

This is a black bear.

A black bear wearing a cassock and holding a Zen staff in its hand, it looks like a fat warrior. The Zen staff held in its bear paw whistles in the wind and smashes down with a tremendous force.

"Boom!"

The Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear collided with it.

The black bear had just been hit by an arrow, so it was no match for the opponent. It staggered back under the attack. Once its weakness was exposed, it had no power to fight back. Bleeding holes soon appeared on its vital parts. It fell to the ground with a bang, wailing, and then lost its breath. Only its strong bear heart was still beating.

"Keng!"

Chen Sanshi drew out the Zhenyue Sword again and started chopping down the tree. He quickly knocked down the ghost wood and cut it into several sections. It took a long time just to move it and find a suitable place to put it.

Then he turned back and continued to go deeper.

In the past, this exotic black bear would have been enough.

But now, it’s not good enough.

Even if he had spiritual herbs and precious medicines, he would like to use exotic beasts to speed up his progress. Putting aside other things, the conquest of the grassland in the near future would require even greater strength to cope with.

Ten mountains!
He went deeper again.

Basically, every hundred steps or so, you would encounter poisonous beasts of varying strengths. Later on, you would actively avoid them to avoid wasting time.

Walk a few hundred steps further.

There were sounds of running and chasing ahead.

In his eyes, there were several black clouds and a light blue cloud.

There were four or five giant wolves covered with scales and with red eyes, chasing a strange beast. The beast was the size of a horse, but had eyes like a sheep, had four horns on its head, and a tail like a cow's tail, and the sound it made was like a howling dog.

Didi!

Chen Sanshi had seen it in "Travels in Mountains and Rivers". It was a rare and exotic beast. Eating its meat could help to nourish the internal energy.

Didi was facing the siege of several vicious wolves and was fighting back while fleeing, but these wolves knew how to cooperate. Two of them had already taken a detour to the front and completely blocked its way.

"Buzz!"

An arrow with great force shot directly and accurately into the wolf's bloody mouth, followed by the second and third...

Less than two breaths.

All the wolves fell to the ground and died.

"Wang Wang!"

Didi was saved and shouted happily twice. Then he saw the bow and arrow in the upright ape's hand was aimed at him without him knowing.

"call out--"

An arrow pierced his head and he died instantly.

Chen Sanshi hid the body in a nearby tree hole, blocked it with a huge rock, and continued walking inside.

Eleven mountains!

The Twelve Mountains are even deep in the core area.

"Roar--"

A powerful energy came with a deafening roar.

"call out--"

Chen Sanshi shot an arrow which was broken directly after being shot. He did not waste any more energy and went straight forward with his gun. After the two collided, he was actually having a hard time parrying and staggered back several steps, his body of King Kong shaking continuously.

Look closely.

This is a beast that looks like a big insect, but its body is covered with colorful bird feathers. It is more than ten feet long, but its tail is even longer than its body. This beast is called Zouwu, and it is of great help to warriors in the Xuanxiang realm.

Moreover, its strength is not much different from that of ordinary warriors in the Xuanxiang realm.

This is also the reason why ordinary warriors dare not go deep into the mountains. Not only are there ferocious poisonous beasts everywhere, but they may also encounter strange beasts that are comparable to top warriors at any time.

Chen Sanshi dared to come because he had the magical fire to back him up.

It’s just better not to use it unless it’s necessary.

After all, if a fire burns everything, there will be nothing left.

"Buzz, boom, boom!"

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the situation, the ground beneath his feet began to shake slightly.

"Roar!"

Zouwu seemed to sense some kind of fear, and after roaring, he turned and ran away.

Chen Sanshi looked towards the east and saw a dark shadow looming among the mountains and forests. It was clearly on the top of the mountain just a moment ago, but appeared on the mountainside after a while, and not long after that appeared several miles away.

wrong……

It's not that it moves fast, but that it is huge!

Giant snake!

This should be the giant snake that Sun Buqi and the others mentioned at the beginning.

Standing here, it is difficult to tell how huge it is.

But the shaking of the ground was not caused by the giant snake.

In addition, many powerful strange beasts also began to run among the mountains and forests.

"boom--"

At the same time, right in front of them, a black gas rose into the sky, pitch black with a hint of scarlet, reaching the sky, as if it was a pillar connecting heaven and earth. Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, Chen Sanshi's hair stood on end and he felt uncomfortable all over.

He had no fear in his heart; these reactions were all instinctive.

There……

It’s the Twelve Mountains!
There were several mountains between his current position and where he was, so he couldn't see clearly what was inside.

"Is this the source of the infection of the poisonous beast?"

The evil spirit that surged into the sky lasted only a few breaths before it quickly dissipated, and the forest gradually returned to calm, and then...

Chen Sanshi saw it.

Several figures were flying in the sky and then fell into the Twelve Mountains.

long distance.

But his eyesight was amazing.

These black spots are people!

One by one!

Some of them stepped on swords, some simply walked in the air, and some rode flying beasts...

This……

Immortal? !
There are so many immortals in the deep mountains?
From this angle, it looks like another world after passing another mountain.

Chen Sanshi was a little confused.

This place is not close to Liangzhou, after all, there are many mountains between them. It took him many days to get here, traveling day and night. But it is not far either.

If an immortal existed here, how could no one have discovered him?

And, what are they doing here?
It's obviously related to evil spirit.

Are there any members of the Wushen Cult here?

Does it have anything to do with the sect’s disciples who have been killed all along?
All the clues have become a tangled mess at this moment, making it difficult to sort out the relationships among them. I just wonder what will happen if this continues.

Life is charcoal.

The thoughts began to echo in Chen Sanshi’s mind.

He is also a living being!
If there really were some earth-shaking changes, not only him, but no one in Liangzhou would be able to escape.

Can……

obviously.

What was happening before his eyes was not something he could participate in at all.

Chen Sanshi didn't dare to get any closer rashly.

If I were noticed by those "immortals", I would have no chance to leave.

He carried Didi's body and returned the same way. When he arrived at the entrance of Luotian Mountains, it was ten days later. Fortunately, he asked Qianxun to call for help in advance, so he moved the things back without much effort.

The image of the core of the mountain range.

It was like a slide show that kept replaying in his mind.

"how?"

In the mansion.

The empress looked at him with a worried look on his face and asked in a teasing tone, "Did you see everything?"

"What are those?" Chen Sanshi asked, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Most of the people you saw were not from this world. To you, they are indeed immortals."

The empress said calmly: "They gathered here with a big plan. I have never dealt with them. I only know that once they succeed, not only Liangzhou, but the whole world will be changed drastically."

"Including Qing Kingdom?"

After getting the tacit agreement, Chen Sanshi continued, "Then why don't you take action?"

"Why should I take action?"

"Didn't you say that Qing Kingdom would also be affected?"

"I don't care."

"..."

Chen Sanshi knew there was no need to continue the conversation.

"After what we've seen today, are you willing to let my sister go with me first?"

The Empress added: "Following me, at least her life can be protected. If the incident has a chance to be resolved and she really can't let you go, I will personally escort her back, although the possibility of resolution is almost zero."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi had no reason to refuse: "Please take care of Lan Jie'er for a while."

Gu Xinlan soon learned the news.

She was unwilling to leave: "What's the matter, Shi Ge'er, why do you want me to leave?"

"Your sister has to go back to handle government affairs, and she can't bear to leave you, so isn't she just going to take you over?"

Chen Sanshi made up an excuse: "You sisters shouldn't have gotten together for so many years. It's time for you to have a good reunion. I'm just worried that you, Lan Jie'er, will go back to live the life of an aristocrat and won't want to come back."

"Bullshit."

Gu Xinlan pouted and pinched his arm hard.

She is not stupid.

You can tell something's wrong.

The more this happened, the less she would act recklessly, because she knew that staying would only be a hindrance.

After patient persuasion, he agreed.

"What about crossing the river?"

Gu Xinlan asked, "The child hasn't been weaned yet."

"He's staying too."

The empress's face was expressionless: "I will only take my sister with me."

Chen Sanshi could see it.

I'm afraid his sister-in-law doesn't care about anything except her feelings for her sister.

"It's alright, Sister Lan, just let Du He stay and we'll find him a wet nurse later."

"..."

Soon, everything was arranged.

"Since you have been quite nice to me in the past two years, I will give you something."

The empress waved her sleeves.

There was a large treasure bag in Chen Sanshi's hand.

Through the brocade bag, he could see the extremely rich green and mysterious energy inside.

Reiki.
