I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 145 The Roar of Corpses by the River
At the dock, the sound of water lapping against the shore.

Ling Yangzi put his hands behind his back and secretly made hand gestures.

Hearing Jin Wanshan's request for his help, he smiled faintly and said, "It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. This layman seems to have some misunderstanding with your gang. Gang Leader Jin, why not listen to his request? If there is indeed a hidden secret, it won't be too late to make a decision."

Jin Wanshan caught a glimpse of Ling Yangzi's movements behind him. He calmly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "My Jinmen Gang has always been kind and righteous, and has always been lenient towards others. Since Mr. Ling is pleading for you, then I can listen to your reasoning."

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the bandits, Taoist priests and officials who were high above him and looking down at him.

The three of them were in different camps, but all of them were condescending, which made it seem like it was his fault.

Xu Qing's eyes were dim, and he reached behind his back and took out a gray mourning staff.

The mourning stick is also called the mourning stick or the filial son stick.

What is a mourning stick? It is the stick with white paper wrapped around it that filial sons use during funerals.

This object was originally made of hibiscus tree branches. According to legend, in ancient times, a great witch stood on a hibiscus tree and shot at the sun, and then stepped on the hibiscus tree and broke it.

When nine of the ten suns that inhabited the Fusang tree were shot down, the dead Fusang tree became a mourning tree.

Grieving for one's son's death and mourning one's own death, this is the origin of the mourning stick in front of us.

In addition, this mourning staff has another function, which is to awaken the children's memories of their biological mother and adoptive mother.

If it hits a person, it can shock the mind, making the person feel like seeing their parents and reminding them of their childhood.

Xu Qing held a mourning stick in his hand and looked at the trio looking down at him with compassion.

At this time, Jin Wanshan and others did not know what they were going to face.

"Look at this person, he is really interesting. Just now he was a general on the stage, and now he has become an old lady with a cane." Long Engui was very happy. He liked to think about interesting things, and what happened tonight was even more interesting than the new play in the theater.

Jin Wanshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qing: "I'm giving you a chance, you must seize it well."

Xu Qing remained silent. With the help of the Qi-gazing technique, the fluctuations of magic power emanating from Ling Yangzi were clearly visible.

Seeing this situation, Xu Qing's eyes became more "kind".

Foolishness entangles the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will keep it away from it.

As for the stolen goods, sometimes the words of the dead are far more credible than those of the living.

At this time, a crescent moon hung on the bow of the boat, and the sound of waves hitting the boat at the harbour was particularly clear.

Under the boat, Xu Qing suddenly lowered his head and a burst of energy appeared behind him. Two flags, one blue and one red, broke free from their restraints in an instant and shot towards Ling Yangzi on the ship.

In Xu Qing's eyes, Jin Wanshan and Long Engui were just two side dishes, and only the Taoist priest in white looked like the real thing.

On the ship, Ling Yangzi, who was chanting spells, turned pale. There were two living people standing next to him. Couldn't you see them? Why did they just target him and hit him?
"How brave!" Jin Wanshan drew out his broadsword and tried to block the incoming flag, but he never expected that the green flag suddenly turned into Xu Qing's appearance when it flew close to him.

With the help of the flag's ability to change shape, Xu Qing crossed a distance of seven or eight feet in an instant and appeared in front of the three people.

Jin Wanshan was startled by the sudden close contact, and Ling Yangzi beside him paused in his spell, and his spell was almost interrupted.

The violent energy was injected into the broadsword, and Jin Wanshan forcefully slashed across with the sword, trying to stop the opponent.

Facing the oncoming sword energy, Xu Qing not only did not avoid the edge, but instead charged towards the blade with a fearless attitude.

Jin Wanshan smiled grimly, but when he cut into Xu Qing's body, he only heard a subtle sound similar to deflecting an arrow.

Xu Qing's figure disappeared in front of him. Jin Wanshan looked closely and found that what separated him was just a green flag.

"Who do I look like, kid?"

A sudden sound came from the cabin behind him, and Jin Wanshan was alarmed. He wrapped his knife and turned around, but found that the young man had already dodged to the side.

The young man had a gray stick in his hand, which was falling towards him on the head.

My life is over!

Jin Wanshan subconsciously closed his eyes, but the imagined situation of overturning the soy sauce shop did not happen. He only felt a heavy blow on the head. Although this stick broke his body's protective qi, it did not cause him fatal damage.

He just felt a pain in his forehead, followed by a sore nose, and his mind involuntarily emerged the image of his mother taking care of him when she was young.

But before this heartwarming scene could linger, Jin Wanshan's mind flashed with the scene of his mother chasing him with a rattan stick and beating him.

In the ship, Jin Wanshan's expression changed for a while. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, but found that his body was as heavy as a thousand pounds. He reached out to touch his chest, only to feel wet and hot.

Looking down, he saw the scarlet blood was extremely glaring, and a broad-backed golden knife was stuck in his chest!
In the building ship, Xu Qing ignored the sound of the corpse falling behind him. He looked at Ling Yangzi, who was covered in golden light, and frowned slightly.

Just a moment ago, he used the mourning stick to hit the Taoist priest, but was completely blocked by the light shield on the other party.

Moreover, this golden light shield vaguely gave him a feeling of disgust.

Just like Xuanyu hates the mud on the streets after rain.

Dirty stuff, this is absolutely dirty stuff!
Seeing that Xu Qing's mourning stick couldn't break his magic, Ling Yangzi sneered and said, "The golden body protection amulet of my Tianshi Mansion is extremely strong and masculine. Your evil magic stick will not work on me."

As he spoke, Ling Yangzi glanced outside the boat, his smile growing wider: "My guardian paper puppet has been summoned. Even if you want to leave now, you can't escape!"

Xu Qing followed Ling Yangzi's gaze and saw many more paper people on the dock and deck. Those paper people had faces as white as gold paper and only their bodies were pale, blocking all the escape routes of the ship.

When Xu Qing looked over, all the paper figures were looking up at him.

Although the lips were clearly red with cinnabar dots and the eyes were ink dots, Xu Qing had a weird feeling that they could really see him.

"Your golden protective light is not afraid of evil spirits, but what if I don't use the mourning staff?"

Xu Qing put away the filial piety stick and instead drew out the dark cloud mace behind him.

The mace is an armor-piercing weapon, born to attack strongholds. The Records of the Territory of the Southwestern Yi states: The mace is nothing but a diamond blade covered with copper, shaped like a copper sword and five feet and two inches long.
This kind of weapon can only be wielded by a person with great strength, and what Xu Qing lacks the least is strength!

In order to prevent himself from running out of strength, Xu Qing swallowed a few more powerful pills. At this moment, his strength was more than a thousand pounds.
At first, when Ling Yangzi saw Xu Qing coming at him with a mace, he didn't take it seriously. Not to mention whether Xu Qing could break his body-protecting golden light, he also had a summoned paper puppet to protect him. How could he not be defeated by a half-baked guy from the countryside?
The heritage of the Tianshi Mansion cannot be compared with those who only know a few tricks.

Xu Qing drew the Black Cloud Mace and fought with the paper figures that were blocking his way. The paper figures were light and moved up and down in the ship. Xu Qing originally thought that it would be easy to break the paper with the weapon, but what he didn't expect was that the paper figures in front of him were stronger than iron and stone, and had extraordinary toughness.

This feeling.
After struggling with dozens of paper puppets for a while, Xu Qing felt vaguely familiar. The paper puppets with faces as white as gold paper actually had the aura of Yin gold burial money.

Thinking of the goods robbed by the Tianjin Gang, he suddenly understood.

After withdrawing, Xu Qing had roughly figured out the level of the paper man.

No matter how many injuries these paper creatures suffer, even if there is a big hole in their chest, they can still move freely.

If we respond with conventional methods, we will definitely not be able to restrain the enemy.

Tsk, Xu Qing looked at the 'paper man army' that surrounded him again, and his desire to win was aroused. You just have more people, right?

Xu Qing flipped his sleeves, and a flag appeared in his hand.

"Just when he was injured, the leader turned to good deeds.

The Heavenly Master has ordered that the evildoer be caught quickly.

Traveling through the nine lands, killing ghosts and capturing the wounded."

After reciting the spell to command the arrogant soldiers, three balls of black mist carrying thick trailing evil spirits emerged from the arrogant flag in Xu Qing's hand.

The black fog shuttled over the paper man's head, and then the black fog and gloomy wind began to tear and change. When the evil spirit condensed, three arrogant generals about ten feet tall, with their heads and horns almost touching the top of the boat, appeared.

Ling Yangzi was horrified and asked, "How could you know the Yichang Curse from my Tianshi Mansion? This technique has long been practiced by no one in the Tianshi Mansion. How did you learn it?"

Xu Qing ignored Ling Yangzi and the generals who were grabbing paper figures everywhere. He held the black cloud mace in his hand and had already come in front of Ling Yangzi.

The Kaishan mace technique was opened and closed vigorously, and Xu Qing used the entire set of mace techniques on Ling Yangzi without saying a word.

The protective golden light vibrated and hummed, Ling Yangzi held a jade talisman in his hand, and the spiritual light and magic power on the talisman were continuously injected into the golden light shield.

Hit, stab, chop, lift, cover, roll, press
With the help of the huge force, the two men fell from the three-story ship, broke through the bulkhead of the ship, and finally fell into the water.

Ling Yangzi cast a spell to lighten his body and waited for an opportunity to move ashore. Xu Qing chased him closely. This was the first time he had met such a nimble turtle.

Ling Yangzi's face turned pale, and he was determined not to hold back anymore. He began to urge all the paper puppets near the building ship to surround Xu Qing.

"What other tricks do you have?" Seeing Xu Qing hesitating and not answering, Ling Yangzi sneered and resumed his arrogant attitude.

"I didn't expect that in a small place like Linhe, there would be a cultivator like you. However, if you dare to offend the Tianshi Mansion, your journey will be over!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing reached out and pinched a paper man. He didn't care how the paper man bit and scratched him. As a silver-armored corpse, he would at most be left with some white marks by these paper men.

"Can you hear me?" Controlling the paper figure in his hand, Xu Qing suddenly asked this question without any context.

Ling Yangzi realized something was wrong and frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Qing smiled. He suddenly threw the paper figurine in his hand to the ground, then stepped on it and asked in an inexplicable tone, "Have you ever heard of the Corpse Roaring Technique?"

"Lion's Roar?" Ling Yangzi scoffed. "It sounds like a crude martial art practiced by ordinary people. I'm afraid it can't even enter the library of my Tianshi Mansion."

Xu Qing mobilized the Yin energy around him, and his entire aura changed subtly.

"My Corpse Roaring Technique is a little different."

Ling Yangzi frowned slightly and was about to speak, but he saw the young man not far away breaking through the paper puppet's defense again and coming to him.

The protective golden light was so close that Xu Qing's chest rose and fell, and his neck became visibly thicker.

When the evil aura accumulated to a certain level, Xu Qing, who looked like an ordinary person, suddenly opened his bloody mouth. At this time, his face was as ferocious as an evil demon, and spider-web-like black veins began to appear on his face.

"howl--!"

The terrifying sound waves were like a flood and a beast, the river wind blew back behind him, and the dark clouds above his head dissipated.

Along the river from north to south and from west to east, no matter where the crowds are or in the corners, you can hear this thunderous roar.

In the patrol office, Zhao Zhonghe, who had just returned from night patrol, heard this strange noise before he could even catch his breath.

"It sounds like it's coming from the port. Let's go check it out!"

In the coffin shop on Jingxia Street, Hu Baosong, who was dozing off, suddenly twitched and then convulsed.

"This Linhe River is becoming increasingly restless."

In the coroner's shop, Xuan Yu rushed out of the shop, jumped onto the roof, pricked up his ears, and stared at the direction where the corpse's roar came from without blinking.

This voice sounds familiar.
In the chicken coop, Jin Luan looked out in surprise and confusion, then ran back to the nest.

Damn it, this Xu guy is getting more and more aggressive!

Linhe Port.

Xu Qing looked at Ling Yangzi, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and kneeling on the ground crying with his head in his hands, and decisively stepped on the other's neck and broke it.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Xu Qing didn't dare to stay for a moment. Although the Corpse Roar Technique was very effective and could defeat the enemy, it also had an obvious disadvantage, which was that it made too much noise and could easily cause trouble.

After Ling Yangzi's death, the surrounding paper puppets became like puppets with their strings cut, standing still, maintaining their original movements, frozen in place.

Xu Qing summoned all the flags and kept shuttling between paper puppets, docks, and ships.

Flying by the flag is equivalent to giving him the ability to teleport and fly for a short period of time. Although the distance is not far enough, it is completely sufficient in this dock.

In a few moments, Xu Qing, who had collected all the corpse paper puppets, looked at Long Engui who was hiding in the corner.

He reached out and pulled the other person out. When Long Engui saw that it was Xu Qing, he panicked and begged for mercy.

"My godfather is Feng Dehai, and my godfather is Cao Cheng. If you kill me, they will definitely cause trouble for you. If you let me go, I will give you women and money in the future. I have these."

Xu Qing carried Long Engui and withdrew his gaze from inside.

Inside the ship, Mrs. Jin and several female servants hid there, trembling.

Xu Qing didn't care. He had been wearing the human skin mask he got when he saved Bai Luo before he came here, and he never took it off.

The human skin mask can be dissolved into the cheeks when used, and has the magical effect of changing the face of anyone, regardless of gender, age or status, in a moment.

At this moment, he still had the face of a corpse that had been saved.

Xu Qing retracted his gaze, without even looking at Long Engui who was begging for mercy. He exerted a little force, and the evil-doer Yanei fell down with his head weakly.
Xu Qing threw Long Engui's body into the box garden and jumped off the boat. He had some knowledge of water control, so sinking to the bottom of the water and using the river water to eliminate his traces was the best option.

Xu Qing made his way around along the river.

As for the goods looted by the Jinmen Gang, most of the core figures in Jinmen have been cleared out by him, and the remaining gang leader has become a "blank slate emperor".

As soon as the sun rises, not to mention others, Mr. Feng from the Jinmen Yahang and Flower and Bird Street will target the Jinmen Gang.

And those goods will naturally return to his hands through Mr. Feng Erye in the due time.
