Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 91 Amendment to the Calligraphy and Painting Preservation Ordinance
A lot can happen in three quarters of an hour.

For example, the rain showed no sign of stopping. Water accumulated under the feet of Wei Xi and Qin Feng outside the cave, and Lian Gouqie in the cave was getting weaker and weaker.

Lian Gouqie held on to his strength. Lingyin was coming, and Wei Xi and Qin Feng must be coming over. He could be saved if he held on.

Lian Gou's brain was becoming increasingly dizzy. Logically, although he would become weaker and weaker after being caught in the rain, he would not be so weak that he could not get up. He could only lean against the stone wall and hold his eyelids open to prevent himself from falling asleep.

Unless, an idea popped up in Lian Gou's increasingly dull brain, that he was not just getting wet in the rain.

Thinking of this, Lian Gouqie was overwhelmed by panic. What trick had happened to him?

In order to survive, Lian Gouqie forced himself to calm down.

Then he found that he couldn't calm down at all! How the hell did Wei Xi manage to find a way to get three people out of that damn place in the secret realm while being hung upside down?

Lian Gou Xie didn't even have the strength to cry. He missed the days when Wei Xi was by his side so much.

Now I can only be thankful that there is no water in the cave, otherwise I would have to soak in the water and wait for my death.

Wait a minute, Lian Gouqie rewound his thoughts. There was no water in the cave. That meant that his current weakness was not due to continuous contact with water?
As a painting, Lian Gou Xie has had many troubles since childhood: he is thirsty but will feel weak if he touches water, he wants to keep warm but cannot be burned by fire, and he has to hang sachets on his body to keep away insects.

The dry environment of Baoxiang City is an excellent condition for preserving a painting.

Even Yizhangyuan is not bad, it is cold and dry, and the precipitation mostly comes in the form of snow. Just be careful not to burn yourself when warming yourself.

So what was it that broke through all the defenses and made his already difficult life even more difficult?
Even Gou Xie was about to lose his mind, and the conditions of the other people in the cave gradually became abnormal.

Those Hu people were just sitting on the side guarding the gold. After all, the king's tent valued this batch of gold.

Perhaps it was because the rain outside was too heavy, or perhaps it was because several of their brothers had died, their expressions became more and more ferocious, veins bulged on their foreheads, and their bearded faces seemed to be distorted.

One of the Hu people suddenly stood up, knife in hand, and strided over to County Magistrate Cheng. He shouted in a gruff voice, "County Magistrate! When can we get out of this cave full of bird shit?"

Cheng Er, who was scolded by his master, was no longer the Cheng County Magistrate who was used to calling the shots in Tangkou Town. His face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. "You are just guests. If you shout at me, look at yourself! Tangkou Town is not a place where any bastard can bark!"

If Wei Xi was in the cave, she would have cheered, because she loves to add fuel to the fire.

Even without Wei Xi adding fuel to the fire, most people would not be able to tolerate these words. It was obvious that this Hu man was not the kind of person who would just swallow his pride.

The Hu people started to curse and pulled out their scimitars. The swords they used were heavier and the sound of them breaking through the air was very clear.

County Magistrate Cheng still had the basic skills he'd learned from dodging debts in his early years, and he actually managed to dodge them. The three soldiers following him finally reacted, stood in front of County Magistrate Cheng, drew their swords, and confronted the Hu people.

Lian Gou Qiang kept his eyes open and observed, hiding in a corner to reduce his presence.

County Magistrate Cheng opened his subordinate's head and said, "How dare you provoke me!"

Unexpectedly, one Hu man drew his sword to fight him, and then three more Hu men behind him also drew their swords to fight him.

Lian Gouqie: Why did they start an internal conflict?
The first Hu man who took action immediately gave up his position when he saw his boss coming to support him. The leading Hu man was the one who looked at the gold with County Magistrate Cheng when he visited the county government office.

Less than three days had passed before the two people who had been complimenting each other started to draw their swords. It is true that everyone comes for profit, and everyone goes for profit.

The old official had already shrunk and retreated to the side. The leading Hu people said coldly, "County Magistrate, we are sincere in doing business and don't want to conflict with you. But our brothers are dead, killed by the government soldiers. Tangkou Town is under your control. We just want to take the gold away alive. Don't make things difficult for us!"

Cheng County Magistrate was filled with nameless rage and he yelled, "What do you mean by that? How can I ruin my own reputation? Are you trying to blackmail me? Or are you trying to steal the gold and put the blame on me?"

"I'm putting it this way. As soon as the rain stops, you'll leave! Don't come to Tangkou Town anymore! I won't serve you any more, Master Gui or Master Jian! Is there a buyer for your golden gold?"

Cheng County Magistrate's words angered the tall and strong Hu people. Even though there were only four of them left, the Hu people who had been exposed to wind and rain on horseback and had fought everywhere were strong. It was not a question of whether they could win against a few men who had not fought for many years.

Instead, we should consider how many people should be left alive.

It was at this moment that Lian Gouqie, whose breathing slowed down due to weakness, suddenly realized.

At the same time, Wei Xi and Qin Feng, who had been waiting for the old official outside for a long time, rushed into the cave.

As soon as Wei Xifu came in, he glanced around the cave and found that Lian Gouqie was tied up and thrown aside, two groups of people were confronting each other beside the campfire, and the old official who was not instigated by her but was coerced and bribed by her was hiding aside.

The two groups of people who were confronting each other were also frightened when they saw the cultivator Qin Feng coming in. When they saw Wei Xi standing beside them, they were a little confused for a while.

Lian Gouyu was not to be outdone and shouted, "Wei Xi and Qin Feng! Cover your noses! There's something wrong with the air!"

Wei Xi and Qin Feng rushed in ready to take action, but they were surprised one after another. They subconsciously listened to Lian Gou's words. Fortunately, the night fog in Tangkou Town was very unpleasant, and the two night wandering gods had triangular bandanas to cover their mouths and noses.

Qin Fengcheng, the county magistrate, recognized her. He had originally wanted to tie her up and use her to fill the gold pit in the Huan River, but the girl looked like a tough guy and was not as easy to bully as the boy.

It was the person next to Qin Feng that Cheng County Magistrate recognized after squinting his eyes: Isn’t this the little girl they brought in and said was drugged and made mute by human traffickers?

Seeing Wei Xi standing calmly beside Qin Feng, holding a dagger in her hand, not at all the timid and stiff look she had when they first met, County Magistrate Cheng realized belatedly: This girl had been fooling him from the beginning!
The leading Hu people also looked at Wei Xi and Qin Feng, then turned to look at Lian Gouyue, who was leaning against the stone wall and breathing heavily. Now he remembered, weren't these the three monks he met at the post station? Why were they also in Tangkou Town?
The barbarian was horrified and rushed towards County Magistrate Cheng, brandishing his knife. "Shameless villain! Despicable bastard! You're conspiring with the monks to harm us!"

County Magistrate Cheng: Do you want to see the weakling I have tied up on the side?

However, the Hu people were so blood-thirsty that they didn't think at all, and the two sides fought in the same place.

Wei Xi immediately signaled Qin Feng to cover her. Qin Feng understood and held Gao Han in his hand, ready to take action at any time.

With Qin Feng behind him, Wei Xi naturally felt relieved. The most important thing was to quickly rescue Lian Gou's fragile painting.

Wei Xi moved very quickly, scurrying to the vicinity of Lian Gou Ye like a rabbit.

But someone was faster than her. The old official grabbed Lian Goujie and held a sharp stone in his hand against Lian Goujie's fragile throat, who was unable to resist.

"No, he must stay, otherwise Tangkou Town will be finished!" The old official's arms and legs were now more useful, and he did not look like a man of his age at all.

　Wei Xi: Who understands? My ribs haven't been reattached yet.
　　Qin Feng: His reputation as a tough guy spreads across the world

　　Lian Gouqie: Help! Two ladies, help!
