Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 88 Longhu Mountain

In Longhu Mountain, heavy rain washed the rocks, Lian Gou's face was pale and he was coughing heart-wrenchingly.

Lian Gouyu was in a very bad state. To be honest, he still hadn't recovered. He was staying in the guest room when Cheng County Magistrate and his men brought him here with their hands tied and their heads covered.

Originally, Lian Gou Xie was unable to use Ru Hua because he was caught in the rain, not to mention that he was drenched by the rain along the way. It was estimated that he would be dead before Wei Xi and Qin Feng could find him.

Lian Gou Xie tried his best to stay away from the accumulated water in the cave. There was actually a fire pit in this cave, but as a prisoner, Lian Gou Xie was not allowed to warm himself by the fire.

County Magistrate Cheng and his three soldiers were sitting by the fire, and four Hu people were sitting opposite them.

These Hu people were not the ones that County Magistrate Cheng wanted to bring into Longhu Mountain. They had a big quarrel with County Magistrate Cheng. Lian Gouqie had his head covered at the time, but he could hear it clearly.

This group of Hu people wanted to transport the gold out before the heavy rain blocked the road, but only one of the people they sent out came back, and he was injured. Before he fainted, he said that he met the Sucheng officials and soldiers who were rushing here, and he was the only one who escaped back.

Now the landslide caused by the heavy rain has blocked the roads in and out of Tangkou Town. The Hu people who suspect that it is Cheng County Magistrate who has informed on them can only force Cheng County Magistrate to take them with him even if they do not trust him.

The soldiers under County Magistrate Cheng were no match for the big and strong Hu people, and the Hu people also needed County Magistrate Cheng, who was familiar with the situation in this area. The two groups cooperated again with suspicion.

County Magistrate Cheng led this group of people through the secret passage in the county government office and entered Longhu Mountain. After several twists and turns, they arrived at a cave and went in to avoid the heavy rain.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lian Gou Xie was still thinking of taking advantage of the conflict between County Magistrate Cheng and the Hu people to escape, but he didn't expect that he would be soaked like this.

It's another day of missing Baoxiang City.

County Magistrate Cheng was very anxious. He sat by the fire, flipping through an old book and muttering something. The Hu people were only concerned with guarding their gold and didn't pay any attention to what County Magistrate Cheng was doing.

I don’t know how County Magistrate Cheng chose this place. There are many hanging swallows in this cave, hanging upside down on the top of the cave. There is also a lot of bird droppings in the cave, which is choking and disgusting.

In the previous second, Lian Gouyu was feeling disgusted, and in the next second, when he saw Lingyin sneaking in, his eyes were filled with tears.

Great, County Magistrate Cheng has chosen a good place!

Lingyin is the bird that Wei Xi commands. Lian Gouqie didn't expect that he could let Lingyin deliver a message to him, but since Wei Xi dared to let Lingyin in, he had a way to make Lingyin work.

Lingyin landed on Lian Goujie's shoulder, dripping a lot of water onto it. Lian Goujie didn't dare cry out despite the pain, fearing that it would attract the attention of County Magistrate Cheng. Lingyin stood on Lian Goujie's shoulder, preening its feathers. The bird was usually very lazy, and it wasn't very diligent at this moment. Fortunately, Wei Xi, who was controlling it, knew the priorities. Lian Goujie, who was enduring the rain eroding his body, felt Lingyin on his shoulder stop moving.

Afterwards, Lingyin used her barbed tongue to lick a piece of Taoist robe off Lian Gou's shoulder, and flew out with the small piece of cloth in her mouth.

Wei Xi, who was near the cave, had no idea how eagerly Lian Gouqie was looking forward to her and Qin Feng's arrival. She only knew that there might be more people around County Magistrate Cheng than she thought.

Wei Xi saw this from the footprints on the ground. The part that was not washed away by the heavy rain showed at least five people. Wei Xi was very worried. How could so many people rescue Lian Gouwei?

Qin Feng was interrogating the old official over there. The old official came to his senses after coming out of the secret passage and getting caught in the rain. Thinking about what he had done, he could no longer regret it. He had just boarded a pirate ship and there was no reason for him to get off.

"Master, that secret passage was originally used to transport gold," the old official said cooperatively. After all, he was trying to gain the support of these two masters, and since they were relatively young, they should be easy to talk to. "I walked through it twice when County Magistrate Cheng forced me to do the accounting."

Qin Feng and Wei Xi both knew that this old guy was not honest, but the missing Hu people, the captured Lian Gouqie, and the incessant heavy rain in Tangkou Town were all more important than the old official who had to deal with this plan to clean up his own mess.

"Master, there is no need to be anxious. First, Master Lian Gou is a cultivator. Although he was captured by County Magistrate Cheng due to his negligence, it is not easy for County Magistrate Cheng to hurt him. Second, County Magistrate Cheng has many rules to follow when it comes to river sacrifices. It will probably take some time for him to take action." After hearing what the old official said, Wei Xi felt that he had taken Qin Feng's medicine in vain, and his ribs began to hurt again.

But the medicine Qin Feng gave was good medicine. What the old official said was based on the fact that Lian Gouqie could hold on and that County Magistrate Cheng was not crazy.

If Lian Gouqie was really caught by County Magistrate Cheng, one can imagine his condition.

Thinking of the crazy look he saw on Huan River, County Magistrate Cheng, Wei Xi doubted County Magistrate Cheng's mental state.

Now Wei Xi could only pray, like Qin Feng, that Lian Gouqie could hold on.

Lingyin found Weixi through the rainstorm. The water vapor made it fall down, and it fell into Weixi's palm and spat out the gray cloth in its beak.

After seeing this thing, Qin Feng and Wei Xi both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Lian Gou Xie was indeed in the hands of County Magistrate Cheng in the cave.

After confirming that the person was here, the next thing was to rescue him. However, Lingyin could only bring back a piece of cloth and could not bring back the true situation in the cave.

"Wei Xi, you support me outside. I will go in and fight them, and you support us..." Qin Feng's mind was no different from Ling Yin's at this time. She grabbed Gao Han and was about to rush in to fight to the death with Cheng County Magistrate's men.

Wei Xi, who had never seen Qin Feng in a group fight, grabbed Qin Feng. Seeing that the other party was still going towards the cave, she pretended to be in pain.

Since you have been injured, you must make the best use of it.

When Wei Xi cried out in pain, Qin Feng immediately lost all strength and turned to help Wei Xi. He asked nervously, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Is the medicine not working?"

"Saving people is the most important thing," Wei Xi didn't answer Qin Feng's question. After all, she was pretending. "We have other ways."

Everyone around Qin Feng is fine, but once they see someone they care about in danger, they get anxious and can't think of a solution.

Fortunately, Wei Xi didn't intend to let her figure it out. She pointed at the old official with her wide sleeves.

Qin Feng suddenly realized, isn’t this a ready-made excuse?

After pacifying Qin Feng, Wei Xi, who didn't care about the gentle breeze and rain, immediately implemented his plan and turned to the old official who pretended to be concerned and said: "If you want to curry favor with us, do us a favor."

The old official laughed and said, "Master, just give me your orders. How can someone like me dare to say no?"

"Go in, see how many people are inside, and then see the situation of our fellow disciples. You don't need us to teach you anything else."

Time was running out, so Wei Xi got straight to the point with the old official. She guessed that County Magistrate Cheng had some friendship with the old official, and that the old official would always bring out something useful.

At the very least, this person can tell them how many people are inside. Even if Qin Feng is allowed in to kill people, there has to be a number, right?
"Master, what you said makes me feel at a loss. What can I say when I go in?" The old official was a man who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. At this moment, he was still worried about being scared by Wei Xi.

Before Wei Xi could speak, Qin Feng sneered and put his sword on the old official's neck. "My sword is only faster than the guillotines in the vegetable market. Do you want me to demonstrate it to you?"
