The world is like a prison, my body is holy

Chapter 84: Lu Bu Riding Dian Wei

The stars are shining and the crescent moon is high in the sky.

Wang Wen and Chen Sandao ran back and forth in the dark forest.

I don’t know if it was the bumper harvest last night that used up all the brothers’ luck.

What the two brothers found tonight were some unorganized little Karami. They worked hard for most of the night but earned only a few merit points.

Wang Wen couldn't hold it in any longer: "Sandao, are you able to do this? If not, just go back to the camp and have a good sleep!"

Chen Sandao couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing this, and said angrily, "Who are you saying is incompetent? Just wait!"

After he finished speaking, he made a hand gesture and disappeared instantly.

Wang Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh, you know how to pinch the magic formula?"

He randomly found a big rock to sit on, and slowly released his spiritual sense to perceive the surrounding environment... Wherever his spiritual sense passed, all things were transmitted into his brain in great detail. He had a feeling that everything was under his control, which made him very intoxicated.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a cold air approaching rapidly.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Sandao rushing out from the forest like a gust of wind, and said excitedly: "Brother, big stuff, I found a big stuff!"

"Sure, Sandao."

Wang Wen twisted his gun and stood up: "Lead the way, let's make a quick decision, and then go back to the camp and sleep after we finish this task."

Chen Sandao turned and left.

Wang Wen leaped onto a large tree and followed him: "What big stuff?"

Chen Sandao: "I didn't dare to get close, but I felt a strong yin energy..."

Wang Wen: "Fuck, you haven't even taken a picture of it, so you're so sure it's a big shot?"

Chen Sandao: "If it weren't for the big guy, I would take my head off and let you play Cuju!"

Wang Wen: "That's what you said!"

Chen Sandao: "A real man, a word of spit is a nail!"

Wang Wen: "Hehe, I haven't kicked a ghost ball yet..."

Chen Sandao: ...

The man and the ghost quickly crossed mountains and rivers, and soon they came to a group of rugged rocks.

Chen Sandao pointed somewhere among the rocks...

Wang Wen looked in the direction of his movements and saw a cave more than one meter high.

"Ghosts also like to dig holes?"

Wang Wen scratched his head and released his spiritual sense, and immediately noticed that the cave was continuously emitting a strong and cold air.

This cold and gloomy aura, in Wang Wen's perception, was somewhat different from the yin aura of Chen Sandao and the others...

The yin energy from Chen Sandao and the others was as light and thin as fog.

The yin energy that gushed out of this cave was a bit thick and a bit turbid... like mud.

"It should be a big one."

Wang Wen nodded, confirming Chen Sandao's judgment.

Chen Sandao said with a grin, "That's what I told you...Brother, can I go in and lure that thing out of there?"

Wang Wen looked him up and down with some suspicion.

Chen Sandao drew the Ghost Messenger Knife from his waist and slapped his chest with the blade: "You look down on me again, don't you?"

Wang Wen thought about it and felt that his steel spear was indeed useless in the cave, so he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, and be careful!"

Chen Sandao gave him a "don't worry" gesture, then held his knife and floated into the pitch-black cave with his head held high.

Wang Wen took a few steps back, staring at the cave entrance intently, and tightened the gun in his hand.

Not long after, a rumbling noise was heard coming from the cave, like the footsteps of countless people.

Wang Wen was cheered up and moved forward instead of retreating.

The next second, a cry of "Oh my god!" was heard. Chen Sandao's disheveled figure flew out of the cave like a cannonball, and without looking back, he flew towards the dense forest below the rocky slope. He did not forget to call out to Wang Wen: "Brother, the wind is strong!"

Wang Wen's eyes followed him: "What the hell is this?"

Before he could finish his words, a pair of scarlet eyes as big as copper bells lit up in the dark cave.

Just as he was about to react, he saw a huge creature as tall as him rushing out of the cave and flying straight towards him.

Despite the fierce wind blowing towards him, Wang Wen remained calm. He planted his feet firmly in his horse stance, swung his gun with both hands, took a deep breath, and then launched a home run with all his strength: "Ah, hit..."

"clang."

Then a dull, trembling sound of impact was heard. Wang Wen felt his arms go numb and he almost couldn't hold the gun firmly. He couldn't keep his horse stance steady and retreated four or five steps in a row. Each step left a clear footprint four or five inches deep on the big rock.

The huge creature that rushed towards him was also swung away by his home run and hit its head heavily on the rocks in the cave.

"I'm sorry..."

Wang Wen finally saw what was coming and couldn't help cursing, "Where did this buffalo come from?"

It turned out that the creature that rushed out of the cave was a black bull with black hair all over its body, tendon meat all over its body, and a pair of sharp horns on its head!

He was just amazed and didn't even think that anyone could explain it to him.

Unexpectedly, the black bull got up from the ground, shook its big head and shouted angrily: "You are the wild bull, your whole family is wild bulls, open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am a genuine Wudi black bull!"

"Oh, that's pretty cool!"

Wang Wen narrowed his eyes, casually fired a gun, and strode towards the black bull, cursing as he walked: "Chen Sandao, you useless bastard, what are you running around for? There's only one domesticated cow! Come back and find it. We'll have a feast for the whole cow tomorrow!"

After saying that, he swallowed hard.

To be honest, he hasn't had a bite of fresh beef in a while...

Seeing him sharpening his knife, the black bull's face changed drastically, and he spread his front legs and pretended to run away: "A gentleman uses words, not fists. I won't argue with you!"

Seeing this, Wang Wen quickly threw away his gun and said, "What are you doing? Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you so scared so quickly? Come on, come on, I don't need any weapons. I can fight you with my bare hands, right?"

Black Bull glanced at the steel gun that had been thrown far away, and a ferocious look quickly appeared on his face. "There's a road to heaven, but you don't go. There's no door to the underworld, but you break in. Today, I will send you to the west..."

As it spoke, it lowered its head, revealing a pair of scimitar-like horns, and rushed towards Wang Wen at full speed. Its hooves, as big as bowls, left two cracks on the stones as big as watermelons, and its attack was extremely powerful.

"You are so smooth-talking, do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Wang Wen stared at him, firmly planted his feet in horse stance again, took a deep breath, and at the moment when the black bull was about to hit him with its head, he stretched out his hands like lightning and grabbed its horns!

"Bah!"

He roared angrily, his hands lashing out in response to the bull's momentum. His handsome face flushed crimson in an instant, and he twisted his hips and ducked. The next second, he grabbed the horns of the massive bull, weighing at least two to three thousand pounds, and lifted it high above his head. He then threw it down with a fierce, shoulder-high throw, smashing several watermelon-sized rocks into pieces!
"Moo!"

Black Bull was so beaten by this shoulder throw that he even uttered a word, his face full of doubt: "Mother Ox, who is the cow, me or you?"

Wang Wen naturally didn't care what was going on in its head. He firmly pressed the bucket-sized bull's head to the ground with his left hand, freeing his right hand, clenched his fist and smashed it on the head...

"Boom bang bang..."

Fists as big as sandbags hit the bull's head like raindrops, making the black bull scream "moo moo" miserably and struggle frantically with its four hooves kicking the ground.

The immense force made Wang Wen's whole body toss up and down. He simply pressed the bull's head and turned over to straddle the bull's back. He grabbed one of its horns with one hand and raised the other hand high, punching it hard between the horns... When he was a child, he had seen butchers killing bulls. No matter how big or strong the bull was, a hammer would make the bull fall to the ground and roll its eyes on the spot!
And this punch of his really made Black Bull's eyes go black, and a huge panic rose in his heart. He immediately bent his two front hooves, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Master, spare my life, Master, spare my life, I surrender, I really surrender, Master, spare my life, it's not easy for me to open my mind..."

"Spare your life?"

Wang Wen's fist stopped on Hei Niu's forehead. After hesitating for several breaths, he asked in a muffled voice, "Have you ever eaten a human?"

If this thing was anything else, even if it was a tiger or a lion, he would smash it down without hesitation and kill it.

But it just happened to be a cow...

Every child who grew up in the countryside has seen the figures of Lao Niu and Da Huang in their childhood. They are both playmates and family members.

The black ox shook its head frantically: "Master, I am an ox. I eat grass, not people. Besides, my master raised me with only grass and chaff. I can't repay my master enough. How could I eat them?"

Wang Wen: "Where is your master from? Give me the address and I'll send someone to verify it. If I find out you dare to lie to me, I'll skin you alive and make hotpot... slurp!"

Hei Niu was startled by the sound of him swallowing his saliva. Without wasting a second, he opened his mouth and reported a series of addresses: "My master is from Baojia Village, Tianzhu Mountain, Anqing Prefecture, Huainan. The master's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Laoqi. If you send someone to inquire, I guarantee you can find him..."

Wang Wen thought for a moment and asked, "That place isn't close to here? Why are you here?"

Black Bull replied honestly, "Last year, I ate something delicious in the mountains, and suddenly I became intelligent and could speak."

"Later, we encountered a flash flood, and the young master and I were trapped on the mountain. I saw that the young master was about to be swept away by the flood. I couldn't hold back my tears, so I called out to him and pulled him out of the water. Maybe the young master went home and told his parents about what I had said. Not long after, my parents took me to the county cattle market and sold me."

"Later, I was brought here with a group of cattle and horses. Not only did we have to carry heavy loads up and down the mountain day and night, but we weren't even given bran to eat. When we died of exhaustion, we'd just skin and eat our meat..."

"I couldn't stand it any longer, so I took advantage of the rain and quietly bit through the ox rope and sneaked out. But they were all around me, and I didn't dare to move around, fearing they would catch me and kill me for meat. So I hid here quietly, and then I met you, Master."

Wang Wen was silent for a long time before he turned over and jumped from the black bull's back to its front.

With a casual move of his hand, the fine steel silver spear that he had thrown far away flew back into his hand.

Hei Niu was so frightened by his actions that he fell to the ground: "Master, I am being unfairly accused. Everything I said is true..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Wang Wen impatiently interrupted its plea for mercy and struck the armor on his body with his steel spear: "Do you recognize this dress?"

Hei Niu nodded quickly: "I recognize you, I recognize you, you are the master of the government!"

Wang Wen nodded. "That's good. I'll definitely send someone to verify what you said, and I guarantee I'll find out. If you're lying, you'd better admit it now. I guarantee you'll be fine. If you deny it, and I find out you're lying, your fate will be a hundred times worse than being slaughtered and eaten..."

Without a second thought, Hei Niu raised his big head and swore, "Master, you can send people to investigate. If I, Old Black, tell you anything that I lie to you, I will be struck by five thunders and my body will be torn to pieces!"

Wang Wen slowly raised his hand, scaring it so much that it closed its eyes and dared not move.

But the beating he imagined didn't come. Wang Wen simply patted its forehead and said, "Alright, you'll follow me from now on. I'm just short of a horse's strength, so you can carry me all over the country... As long as you don't have any second thoughts, I'll give you as much rice bran as you want!"

When Hei Niu heard this, his dark eyes immediately lit up. He raised his head, bared his teeth, and looked at Wang Wen flatteringly: "Master, if I do a good job, can you give me a few more eggs?"

Wang Wen said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. As long as you work hard, I'll give you meat, not to mention eggs!"

Black Ox immediately knocked his head heavily to the ground and said: "Master, please be merciful. I, Black Ox, am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse!"

Wang Wen turned his head, pointed at him, and said to Chen Sandao, who was hesitant in the air, "Listen, even a cow can talk better than you, you damn dog!"

Chen Sandao laughed embarrassedly.

Wang Wen: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go inside the cave and check if you've missed anything valuable?"

He had already sent out his spiritual sense to sense, and the turbid and yin energy in the cave was still there.

Chen Sandao nodded quickly and floated into the cave again like a gust of wind...

Wang Wenzhe measured Hei Niu carefully, thinking about making a vest for this guy when he got back... This guy was really strong. He was able to lift him up and throw him over his shoulder just now, but he was just using clever strength. In a head-on arm wrestling match, he was no match for this guy!
If we make this guy a thick suit of armor and a sturdy enough lance... wouldn't it be Lu Bu riding Dian Wei?

Black Ox felt uncomfortable being stared at, thinking his new owner was planning to cut off a piece of his flesh for a delicious meal. He immediately approached Wang Wen with a wide grin and a low brow, saying, "Master, this cave is very small. I've lived here for more than two months and haven't seen anything good, but I know where the valuables are..."

Wang Wen responded with interest: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Black Ox whispered slyly, "Master, wasn't I carrying goods for those villains here before? The goods are hidden in a cave two hills away. There are dozens of warehouses full of them. They must be worth a lot of money!"

Wang Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Is that place crowded?"

Hei Niu said quickly, "There will definitely be a lot of people walking up there, but can't this farmhand just now fly? If he can fly, he can get around a lot of people..."

Wang Wen: "Okay, let's go check it out later..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a strong, turbid and yin energy surging out of the cave.

He turned his head and saw Chen Sandao struggling to hold a piece of ostrich egg-sized, faintly fluorescent white jade floating out of the cave. "Brother, I found this in the underground cave!"

"Fuck, good stuff!"

After taking a look, he quickly stepped forward and couldn't wait to take the white jade from Chen Sandao's hand.

As soon as he picked up the jade, he felt its heavy weight. Although it was the size of an ostrich egg, it must have weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms.

Chen Sandao: "Brother, do you recognize this thing?"

Wang Wen fondly caressed the round jade stone and nodded, saying, "This thing is called Dragon Bone, also known as Void Stone. It is the essence of the earth veins formed when the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers died and the dragon energy condensed into dead energy. It is the most crucial treasure for stabilizing the City God's domain!"

This thing, only the size of a ping-pong ball is needed to stabilize the legal space of the county city god, allowing the ghosts living in it to build houses like living people.

A piece as big as the one he has in his hand can probably serve as the cornerstone and pillar of the provincial city god's domain!
"There are so many treasures now!"

Thinking of this, Wang Wen couldn't help but sigh with joy: "In a few years, there won't be a chance for people like us to get such a great treasure."

This may be just like when the world was first created and there were treasures everywhere!

The spiritual energy of the Great Zhou has just been revived, and there are not many practitioners. These natural treasures that have been accumulated over the years have just regained their vitality, giving these casual practitioners the opportunity to pick up the bargains!

If in a few years, how could there be no practitioners coming to a blessed place like Huangshan with its beautiful scenery to establish their own sects?
By then, wouldn't all the treasures here have been completely looted by those people after digging deep into the ground?

Pick up leaks?

Even if I pick it up, it belongs to someone else!

Chen Sandao didn't quite understand what he was saying, but seeing how he couldn't let go of it, he still cooperated and said, "That is indeed a good treasure!"

Wang Wen pulled off the sweat towel from his neck, wrapped the dragon bone around it, and carefully tied it around his waist: "Let's go and take a look at the next place!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Niu quickly approached Wang Wen, lowered his head and knelt down, saying, "I will lead the way for you, Master..."

Chen Sandao: ???
After finally squeezing out Xu Ergou, here comes Hei Erniu?
