Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 150 Forced
In the tunnel, Yue Yunfeng walked alone carrying the coffin.

His wife and daughter were in the coffin.

The Wu family thought that Yue Yunfeng was reluctant to part with his wife, so even though his wife turned into a zombie, he was unwilling to cremate the body according to industry rules.

Actually not.

Yue Yunfeng's wife was bitten by a zombie while driving the corpses, and the zombie poison had already invaded her blood, so she could not be saved at all.

But at that time, his wife was already pregnant.

If his wife was just poisoned by zombies, Yue Yunfeng would not be reluctant to burn her body according to the rules.

But she already had a baby in her belly.

Ye Yunfeng's wife dug the premature baby out of her belly.

At this time, the child was also infected with the corpse poison, but it did not invade the blood.

Before her death, Yue Yunfeng's wife told him that she must save the child.

The child was indeed alive, but he had become a half-human, half-zombie being.

Normal zombies have no souls and no emotions, but Yue Yunfeng's child is obviously different. She is a little bloodthirsty, but very smart, and not a dead thing without a soul.

In fact, when Yue Yunfeng's wife turned into a zombie, his heart was already dead.

Yue Yunfeng was an orphan since childhood. He was picked up by his master and followed his master and his senior sisters to drive corpses for a living.

The master is dead, the senior sister who married him also died, and Yue Yunfeng also died for love because he felt that living alone was too painful.

Senior sister is his whole world.

However, the birth of his daughter gave Yue Yunfeng the desire to live again.

Now he lives as a half-human, half-ghost just to search for a legendary elixir.

It is said that if a cultivator with extremely high cultivation level is buried in an extremely cold place, a lotus will grow on his corpse.

This flower grows in an extremely yin place, but it is extremely yang!
This thing can restrain the evil spirit and can turn zombies into humans.

Yue Yunfeng didn't believe that zombies could turn into humans, but he felt that if he found this kind of lotus, his daughter might be able to turn into a human.

That's why Yue Yunfeng entered the secret realm.

Yue Yunfeng didn’t care about the storage jade or the magic weapon inside, he just wanted to find the lotus.

Although he had been searching for many years and still hadn't found the lotus, Yue Yunfeng never gave up.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

More than a dozen people surrounded Yue Yunfeng. The one with the highest cultivation level among them was at the seventh level, and there were also several at the eighth and ninth levels.

Yue Yunfeng glanced at a few people and asked, "What's the matter?"

A dozen people surrounded Yue Yunfeng and said, "It's nothing, we just want to hear you talk about the secret realm. By the way, there seems to be some treasure in your coffin, it would be fine if you could give it to us."

Yue Yunfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. If they were just asking about the things in the secret realm, Yue Yunfeng would tell them without hesitation, but they touched Yue Yunfeng's sore spot.

In the coffin are his own daughter and his own senior sister.

The coffin is your whole world.

There was a sudden chill in the tunnel.

"Why is it so cold?"

"It just suddenly became cold."

"Hey, this guy is quite obedient and opened the coffin."

"Ah, ah, no."

"Brother, spare my life, no, no, no!"

After a burst of wailing, the dozen people in the tunnel had disappeared. The ground was littered with broken arms and limbs. There was a bite mark on the bodies of the dozen people, and their bodies had become dry, as if all the blood had been sucked out.

Yue Yunfeng carried the coffin on his back with some difficulty. He muttered to himself, "It's a bit heavy."

A few more people appeared in the tunnel.

"What, you want my coffin too?" The murderous aura on Yue Yunfeng suddenly surged, and in the tunnel, he was like a demon god.

Several people waved their hands hurriedly, some of them took out some money, and others took out some magical instruments.

"Fellow Daoist, we just want to know what's going on in the secret realm and try our luck."

These people, like the ones before them, want to know the information in the secret realm.

However, seeing the death of the dozen or so people in front of them, these people simply did not have the courage to fight Yue Yunfeng.

Yue Yunfeng waved his hand, put the gold and silver magic weapons into his storage jade, and then slowly talked about the levels in the secret realm.

In the darkness, countless ears were listening attentively.

Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that he had obtained the qualification of a student. According to Fan Shiyi, he could enter the academy in the capital after he had the academic qualifications.

But Zhou Ping didn't know that even if he didn't have the qualifications of a student, a piece of "Spring River Moon Night" was enough to allow him to study in the capital academy and become a disciple of Fan Zhongfu.

Fan Shiyi naturally knew that Zhou Ping's poems were given to Fan Zhongfu. She was very happy because people in the capital were boring, but Zhou Ping was very interesting.

It is so much more fun to have such interesting people around.

Just as Fan Shiyi was about to answer that it was no problem, a group of people came up to Zhou Ping.

Zhao Tiancheng said in an imperative tone: "Zhou Ping, enter the secret realm again."

After Zhao Tiancheng came out of the secret realm, they discussed and understood the key to decrypting the last level of the secret realm.

No matter what answer you give, it will be a death.

Of course, this riddle has a solution.

The male corpse has only ten toes. As long as you guess the riddle ten times, the male corpse will have no toes. When the last person guesses the riddle, he will definitely succeed and will definitely get the storage jade.

So Zhao Tiancheng thought of letting his men enter the secret realm, and then answer the riddle ten times, and then go in himself after the toes on the male corpse's feet turned into zero.

When the man's toes become zero, Zhao Tiancheng will be able to give the correct answer.

In this way, the storage jade belongs to Zhao Tiancheng.

That's why Zhao Tiancheng asked Wu Da Ge and Zhou Ping to continue into the secret realm. These two people are experienced and can pass through the secret realm at the fastest speed.

"Zhou Ping won't go in." Meng Jiusheng said lightly.

When Zhao Tiancheng heard what Meng Jiusheng said, he was about to get angry, but Song Tijie beside him pulled him aside and whispered in his ear.

Song Tixia knew Meng Jiusheng's identity.

"It's Meng Ru. I'm here to pay my respects. I want Zhou Ping to enter the secret realm for me." Zhao Tiancheng didn't know why Meng Jiusheng helped Zhou Ping, but Meng Jiusheng's identity required him to keep a low profile.

Meng Jiusheng said proudly: "Little guy, in order to save you, I have let Zhou Ping risk his life, and almost caused a civil uprising. Now that you have come out alive, why let him enter the secret realm?"

County Magistrate Lu hurried to Zhao Tiancheng and told him about the trouble caused by the scholars in Qinghe County.

Meng Jiusheng had already given face to the county governor, and almost ruined his reputation. Zhao Tiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew Meng Jiusheng was retreating to advance. Meng Jiusheng told Zhao Tiancheng that because of Zhao Tiancheng, Zhou Ping had entered the secret realm, and almost caused public outrage, which was telling himself: I have already given you face.

However, Zhao Tiancheng was not grateful to Meng Jiusheng, because Meng Jiusheng also had his own motives.

"Excuse me, Meng Ru, what is your relationship with this young escort?" Zhao Tiancheng is a cultivator. He does not understand Confucianism, nor does he know how powerful Spring River Moonlight Night is. He just wants Zhou Ping to enter the secret realm, lead the team to the last level quickly, and then keep guessing riddles.

Meng Jiusheng said: I want to take him as my apprentice, what's wrong? "

Zhao Tiancheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "We are not related, and you just want to take him as your apprentice. There is no relationship between the two of you, so don't worry about his affairs."

Zhao Tiancheng didn't give Meng Jiusheng this face at all.

Although Meng Jiusheng is the dean of Qianzhou Academy, Zhao Tiancheng's father is the governor of Qianzhou County.

Zhao Tiancheng knew who was more important, a school principal or a provincial governor.

Meng Jiusheng's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Zhao Tiancheng would dare to slap him in the face in public.

"Oh, this young master is quite amazing. He doesn't even give the academy face."

"Hey, the academy is nothing, it's just a bunch of scholars, and they don't have much fighting power."

"So what if I'm a third-rank rank? Maybe I can't even beat an eighth-rank rank like you and me."

"You are right. The fighting power of Confucianism is still too weak."

The cultivators who were watching the fun were whispering to each other. They didn't expect that Zhao Tiancheng would not give Meng Jiusheng any face at all.

Zhao Tiancheng is so arrogant!
But think about it, although Meng Jiusheng is a third-rank official, he is a Confucian after all, and Confucianists don't have much combat power.

Secondly, Zhou Ping was not very famous and had nothing to do with Meng Jiusheng. Meng Jiusheng just wanted to take in a disciple.

What’s the point of having an apprentice? If you lose one, you can find another one.

Zhou Ping looked at the angry Meng Jiusheng and felt a little sorry for this third-rank Confucian scholar.

Meng Jiusheng was not pedantic. He was not trying to please the governor of Zhao County, but just to give him face. After all, the qualification of a student was not a big deal.

But I didn't expect that this incident would arouse public indignation.

If Zhou Ping's poems had not been so well written, Meng Jiu would have lost his fame in his lifetime.

Now Meng Jiusheng wants to take Zhou Ping as his younger brother, but he didn't expect that he hasn't become the eldest brother yet, and others don't give him the face at all.

Meng Jiusheng can't even deal with Zhao Tiancheng, so Zhou Ping naturally won't choose him as his powerful partner. After all, Zhou Ping's potential enemy is Taoism!
"Come here, take Zhou Ping into the secret realm." Zhao Tiancheng waved his hand, and several soldiers were about to take Zhou Ping away, while Song Tixia stood in front of Meng Jiusheng.

Song Tixia stopped Meng Jiusheng to prevent him from doing anything extreme.

"Wait a moment." Fan Shiyi put away his paper fan, and Xiaoqing beside him also turned into a human form, and then stood in front of several soldiers.

With Xiaoqing's seventh-grade cultivation, she can still deal with a few soldiers.

Zhao Tiancheng then noticed the handsome Fan Shiyi. His eyes lit up and he licked his lips: "Where did this beautiful boy come from? Bring him to my account tonight!"

Fan Shiyi's eyes immediately turned cold. What she hated most was others treating her as a woman!
Fan Shiyi didn't expect that Zhao Tiancheng would be so bold as to tease him in public.

Several soldiers came to arrest Zhou Ping according to Zhao Tiancheng's order, and two others came to arrest Fan Shiyi.

However, several of them were quickly knocked to the ground by Xiaoqing.

Zhao Tiancheng was not angry but happy: "Hey, this girl is not bad, are you his maid? I want you two to serve me together tonight!"

"Old Song, catch them both." Zhao Tiancheng asked Song Tixia to catch Fan Shiyi and Xiaoqing.

Fan Shiyi said coldly: "Forcing people to go to the secret realm to die in public and speaking rudely to them is really lawless and they don't take the laws of the Wei Dynasty seriously at all."

Zhao Tiancheng snorted coldly: "In Qianzhou County, I am the law!"

Fan Shiyi did not get angry but laughed: "Well said, well said."

Seeing that Song Tixia was preparing to deal with Xiaoqing, although Xiaoqing was a seventh-rank official, she was no match for a fourth-rank official.

The jade pendant on Fan Shiyi's waist flashed.

Song Tixia is a fourth-rank official and has experienced countless life-and-death crises.

Just now, Fan Shiyi gave Song Tijie a creepy feeling, as if he might die at the hands of Fan Shiyi in the next second.

Song Tixia knew that Fan Shiyi was a scholar, but he didn't understand how a scholar could have such a strong sense of crisis.

Song Tixia looked at Fan Shiyi cautiously, his thief eyes gleaming: "I don't know your name."

Fan Shiyi looked at Song Tixia with disgust: "He has a nice face, but it's a pity that he has a pair of thief eyes."

Song Tixia was immediately angry. What he was most proud of was his face, which gave people a feeling of being honest and simple.

But Song Tijie's character is really not good, and he is very dark inside.

Song Tixia never expected that someone could reveal his character in just one sentence.

"Mr. Zhao, Chief Song, this is Mr. Fan Shiyi, the son of the great scholar Fan Zhongfu." County Magistrate Lu hurried over to smooth things over.

Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect that the person in front of him was Fan Shiyi.

Meng Jiusheng might not have such a high status, but Fan Zhongfu's status was no lower than that of his father.

Fan Zhongfu was the first Confucianist and the spiritual leader of all scholars of the time.

Song Tixia also knew where the sense of crisis he had just felt came from.

Young men from noble families like Fan Shiyi all have magical weapons on them, which can kill fourth-grade warriors like him.

Zhao Tiancheng has a similar magical weapon on him, which allows him to launch fatal attacks on cultivators below the third rank in times of crisis.

Zhao Tiancheng said, "Oh, it's Brother Fan. I thought it was someone else. Come on, Brother Fan, I have some good wine and good food. Let's sit together."

Zhao Tiancheng tried to pull Fan Shiyi, but Fan Shiyi dodged him.

Fan Shiyi is a Confucian scholar of the fourth rank. Although his fighting ability is not good, he is still good at hiding.

Zhao Tiancheng was a little embarrassed, and Fan Shiyi said, "Let's go, Zhou Ping."

Zhou Ping obediently followed Fan Shiyi out of the secret realm, and no one dared to stop him.

When Xiaoqing walked past Zhao Tiancheng, she stretched her nose and then looked like she was vomiting: "How disgusting."

Although there was anger in Zhao Tiancheng's eyes, he didn't dare to release it.

After Fan Shiyi left, Zhao Tiancheng came to a cave, which was also dug out for him to rest.

Zhao Tiancheng grabbed a handsome manservant beside him, grabbed his head and pressed it against his waist.

The male servant squatted down obediently. Although Song Tixia, who was standing beside him, frowned, he seemed to be accustomed to it.

Zhao Tiancheng twisted his neck with a relieved expression: "Let Wu Da Ge and Wu Da Fu lead the team into the secret realm, and then find ten people who are willing to die to guess the riddle."

Song Tixia nodded.

"By the way, find out some information about Zhou Ping and why Fan Shiyi thinks so highly of him."
