Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 209: Evil in the Mountain
Yaowang Mountain.

Next to a huge furnace, a wooden box of gold bricks has been refined.

Zhao Tiancheng touched the gold bricks in the wooden box and couldn't help licking them.

"Song Liu, how do we transport this gold back to Qianzhou City for my father?" Zhao Tiancheng asked.

Song Tixia said: "Master, the pangolin beside you is already a third-grade cultivator, and he has a storage jade in his hand, so it would be best if he could deliver the gold."

Song Tixia took a look at the pangolin.

The pangolin turned into a human form. He lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

When the pangolin was young, he was fortunate enough to get a piece of storage jade. This was both a great blessing and the beginning of tragedy.

The news that the pangolin had a storage jade spread like wildfire, and he was captured by Zhao Tiancheng, who cast a rune spell on him.

Zhao Tiancheng can control the life and death of pangolins.

So the pangolin began to follow Zhao Tiancheng.

"No, the pangolin still has to protect me. What should I do if he leaves?" Zhao Tiancheng was naturally unwilling. He thought of the arrow that almost took his life. If it weren't for the pangolin, he would probably die even if he had a magic weapon to protect his body.

Song Tixia thought for a moment and then said, "There is the Yan Family Escort Agency in Qinghe County. It is said that one of them also has a storage jade. We may be able to use the escort agency."

Zhao Tiancheng's eyes lit up: "He who has the storage jade! Why not let him become my subordinate? If he is willing to be my subordinate, I will serve him well. If he is not willing, we can find his weak spot, such as his parents, wife and daughter. Isn't that enough?"

Song Tixia shook his head and said, "I have asked the Yan Family Escort Agency. This person is extremely mysterious and has a very high level of cultivation. He is escorting only because he has some relationship with the escort agency, so he will not be the young master's subordinate. We don't know him well and don't know where his weakness is."

Zhao Tiancheng was a little disappointed, but still said: "Okay! Let the Yan Family Escort Agency transfer the refined gold! This way the pangolin will not leave me."

Song Tixia nodded and said, "I'm sure the Yan Family Escort Agency wouldn't dare to embezzle the gold. If anything goes wrong with the gold, the Escort Agency can also compensate for it."

"Hey, let the escort agency pay compensation. I'm afraid they don't have that much money. We're mainly after this person with the storage jade." Zhao Tiancheng paused, "Let this person come to see me. We'll see how strong he is. If he's too weak, we can control him directly, or poison him, or use other means."

Song Tixia nodded: "Yes."

While the two were talking, a sergeant suddenly came up to them in a panic.

"Sir, it's bad. Something incredible has been dug out from a mine. Hundreds of miners have died. The people we sent in have also died. A sixth-rank soldier has also died in there."

"There's a ghost in the cave."

The soldier was filled with fear as they dug out an ancient stone statue, some Buddhist instruments and some dry bones from the mine.

No one took it seriously at first, but gradually, people began to die in the mine.

The soldiers also sent people in, but they still died inside.

Today, the mine is filled with gray ghostly aura, and the miners dare not go in at all.

"Ghost? Damn it, what kind of creature dares to steal my gold? Let's go and take a look." Zhao Tiancheng was immediately furious, "You bunch of rubbish, even the sixth-grade ones are dead in there!"

This month, I finally refined a box of gold, but unexpectedly I encountered some misfortunes.

Zhao Tiancheng brought Song Tixia and Pangolin to the mine where the accident happened.

At the entrance of the mine, a cloud of fog kept inhaling and exhaling, as if it had life.

The miners simply didn't dare to go in.

"Throw two people in." Zhao Tiancheng said.

Then, several soldiers captured several miners.

"Sir, spare us, don't let us in."

"Sir, I don't want to die. I still have a wife and children."

"Sir, I have just got married and my wife is waiting for me at home."

No matter how the miners begged, Zhao Tiancheng ordered the soldiers to throw them into the mine without blinking an eye.

Several people in the mine entered and started to escape.

But in the fog, something seemed to come alive.

Just as one person rushed out of the mine, he was immediately pulled in by something inside. Then there was a burst of wailing and the sound of wild beasts biting.

After a while, calm returned to the inside.

Zhao Tiancheng glanced at Song Tixia and asked, "Did you see what it was?"

Song Tixia frowned. He took out some runes and threw them into the mine. Immediately, a thunderous sound was heard in the mine, followed by a dull roar.

"It's not a demon, it looks like a ghost or a demon." Song Tixia glanced at the pangolin and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Zhao Tiancheng thought about it for a moment and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Song Tixia and Pangolin entered the mine.

Soon, the sound of fighting was heard.

"Pangolin, hold him off first while I cast a spell to deal with it."

After the sound, a figure jumped out in a panic.

This person was actually Tixia Song.

Song Tixia's eyes were a little dazed at this time, his clothes were all torn, and there were several scratches on his chest that penetrated deep into his internal organs.

Song Tixia was unexpectedly seriously injured. After he escaped, he immediately took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it. Even though there was a look of pain on his face and he was a little hesitant and unwilling to use the pill, his current condition was very bad as his foundation had been damaged.

Not only him, but also the pangolin transformed into its original form and came out from under Zhao Tiancheng's feet. It stared at Song Tijie angrily, with black air all over its body.

Just now, Song Tixia tricked the pangolin into blocking the things inside, which also caused the pangolin to suffer considerable injuries.

If Pangolin had not reached the third level of cultivation, he would have died in there.

When Zhao Tiancheng saw the pangolin's appearance, he couldn't help but take a half step back.

The pangolin crawled out of the cave, but there seemed to be something pulling on its feet under the cave.

The pangolin's eyes were filled with ferocity, and it chopped with its front paws at its hind paws that remained in the hole.

Finally, the pangolin lost a leg and escaped.

At this time, the four-legged pangolin became a three-legged one.

In the hole dug by the pangolin, a dark red eye stared at Zhao Tiancheng.

Zhao Tiancheng felt his eyes go dark, his whole body go cold, and he was so scared that his legs went limp to the ground.

"It's a ghost, a very powerful ghost. We must evacuate immediately. Once it escapes at night, we will be no match for it!" The pangolin looked at Zhao Tiancheng, "Master, I need to eat a tonic pill, otherwise my leg will be useless."

After the pangolin finished speaking, he added: "With one leg missing, my combat power is even lower than that of a fourth-grade warrior."

Zhao Tiancheng was a little hesitant, but when he heard Pangolin say that his cultivation level was going to drop, he immediately said, "Okay!"

The Buling Pill is a magical medicine refined by the Wei Dynasty's Sitianjian. One pill costs tens of thousands of taels and can grow flesh from bones and regenerate severed fingers.

At this time, Song Tixia on the other side also took the pill, and his injuries were getting better: "Master, let's go, it will be dark in a few hours, and the things inside can't come out now."

Zhao Tiancheng was a little unwilling. The gold mine had just begun to be mined, but there were such incredible things in it.

This is like a cooked duck about to fly away, how can Zhao Tiancheng be willing?

However, when Zhao Tiancheng saw the looks on Song Tijie and Pangolin's faces, no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do, because the things inside were truly too powerful.

"Is there really no way to deal with these evil creatures, such as sacrificing some living people?" Zhao Tiancheng suddenly calmed down.

Zhao Tiancheng had heard that these evil creatures could actually be sacrificed, and by sacrificing living people, they could be used for their own purposes.

Song Tixia didn't say anything, and neither did Pangolin.

Zhao Tiancheng felt even more annoyed when he saw that the two of them didn't speak, but he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, since it is an evil creature, Fan Shiyi is here. He is a Confucian, so we can let him in and try."

"Confucianism is just the right way to deal with these evil things!"
