Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 61 60 Heaven and Earth Spirit Reality, Playing the Dungeon on Behalf

Now that he has become the leader of the escort team, he needs to have a few people under him who can do things. Wei He's honest and strong character is very much to his liking.

Originally, Li Cunxiao had the idea of ​​hunting monsters after returning from the autumn hunt. Coincidentally, the other party was a hunter. With such a life-saving favor today, it should not be difficult for him to get some experience and tricks from Wei He.

After thinking about it this way, Li Cunxiao's expression became softer when he looked at Wei He's siblings. Then, he just revealed a little bit of his intention, and the two siblings said that they would follow their benefactor's instructions.

Seeing that the other party was so smart, Li Cunxiao did not waste any time. He immediately called everyone and went to the escort agency to present the treasure to Zhang Lishi.

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister looked at the dirt on each other's bodies and felt a little embarrassed.

Because of the pursuit of the Chai Gang, they came in a hurry, sweated on the road, and had not washed for a day and a night, so they looked a little sloppy at this time.

"My benefactor, why don't we take a shower first?"

"No, this is the best way, and we have to leave immediately," Li Cunxiao said with a meaningful smile.

"Otherwise, if it's any later, Wei He's injury will fade away."

"Sanlang, you are thoughtful."

Zhang Lishi looked at the ginseng with winding roots that looked like an old man, and smelled a faint fragrance lingering between his nostrils. He couldn't help but smile at Li Cunxiao.

"It's a pity that it's almost a Jiazi old ginseng. That kind of ginseng treasure can be considered a true elixir. If the Dan Ding Taoist priest in the prefecture saw it, he would spend a fortune on it."

"But for you, this ginseng comes at just the right time. When Tiezi defeats the second-level demon tiger, I will use this old ginseng to prepare a new batch of medicine. It will be at least twice as effective as the chalcedony cream and powerful wine you are using now."

Li Cunxiao had already guessed that he would have his share of the medicine. After all, Zhang Lishi was not a stingy person. Upon hearing this, he bowed to Zhang Lishi and Shi Tie:

"Then I would like to thank Master and Senior Brother. But Master, look at the brother and sister just now..."

"Since Wei He can raise horses, let him work with Yi Fu. He can also take care of Tian Ma for you in the future."

"As for Wei Ying, I heard that you don't even have a maid in your house, so you might as well take her in yourself."

Zhang Lishi waved his hand casually. They were just two escaped members of the Chai Gang. He would just take them in. He didn't want to take such trivial matters to heart.

However, he noticed that the Wei siblings seemed to be hesitant to speak, as well as the injury on Wei He's hand, so he asked about it.

Li Cunxiao thought he was waiting for this moment, so he told the whole story of how Shen He forced the Wei siblings without any exaggeration.

There are some things to pay attention to when applying eye drops, and it also depends on the person.

Zhang Lishi is a high-ranking official in the escort agency and has the final say. People like him often hate being deceived or even manipulated by their subordinates.

What Shen He did was shameful enough. Given Li Cunxiao's understanding of his master, there was no need for him to distort or mislead others. He just needed to explain the truth clearly. The eldest son of the Shen family would definitely suffer.

As expected, after these words were spoken, not only Zhang Lishi, but even Shi Tie frowned.

"Junior Brother Shen is from a prominent family, yet he acts so violently. Not only did he rob people, he even forced them to disembowel themselves as proof. He has no regard for dignity at all."

"Dignified?" Zhang Lishi snorted coldly.

"He used to be so humble and polite, but now his true colors are revealed when things get tough. With this kind of character, he'll go insane sooner or later."

If the Shen family's connections were not still useful to the escort agency, he really wanted to expel such a disgusting thing from the sect immediately.

Li Cunxiao felt relieved, knowing that Shen He had lost the amulet of his disciple status with Zhang Lishi.

In the future, I just need to find a suitable opportunity to help this good senior brother look decent.

"Master, I think Wei He has good aptitude. He works with Escort Master Shi, raising horses, and is considered an escort agent. Can we let him learn Tiger Form Fist?"

Zhang Lishi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said casually:
"Since I told him to follow Yifu, that's what I meant. You're already a teacher now, so you don't need to ask me for instructions on everything."

"No," Li Cunxiao's attitude became more respectful.

"Martial arts are the foundation of the Escort Agency. Just because Wei He raises horses for me doesn't mean I can teach him martial arts privately. Doing so would be a disregard for the rules set by our Master."

"Whether martial arts can be passed on, to whom, and how much to pass on, all depends on the master's decision."

Seeing that his disciple was so sensible, Zhang Lishi felt even more satisfied.

To be honest, he treasures a genius who has entered the second realm in just one or two months, but he is also inevitably a little wary of him.

Whether it was Shi Tie or Feng Sheng, it took them five or six years or even ten years to grow up.

As a teacher, you have the time to understand a person's character, temperament, talents and weaknesses, and teach him or her in accordance with his or her aptitude. At the same time, the foundation of trust is also cultivated in the process.

But Li Cunxiao had only been at the escort agency for more than two months.

Zhang Lishi would not doubt his disciples without reason, but this does not mean unconditional trust.

Even the partners who founded the escort agency together in the early years had betrayed him. Now that his family business has grown bigger, it is less likely that he will trust one person completely and wholeheartedly.

Li Cunxiao's cautious and self-disciplined attitude made him feel at ease. After all, the other party's talent was too monstrous.

The more Zhang Lishi values ​​him, the more he tests and challenges him. This isn't groundless suspicion; it's for his own good.

Li Cunxiao could more or less guess what the other party was thinking, so he didn't feel dissatisfied.

If he were in this position, he would do the same.

"Junior brother, you have done a good job. If I were not in a hurry to return to the manor, I would really like to get closer to you."

"So urgent?"

Li Cunxiao pondered in his heart that the other party would probably return at the end of the year, which would be two months later. In two months, who knew what changes would happen in Tiankeng Lake?
Is the demon emerging from its cocoon? Or has a rare treasure appeared, sparking a fight among the city's forces?

Li Cunxiao made a prompt decision, confirmed that only the master and his apprentice were in the room, and said tentatively:
"Master just said that true spiritual herbs are treasures that even the Taoist Dan Ding in the prefecture covet. How is it different from ordinary herbs?"

Zhang Lishi picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp with the spicy spices.

"Medicine is the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Use medicine to control evil, use spirit to suppress evil, and use substance to overcome emptiness."

"Only spiritual herbs that contain true spiritual energy, tempered by the true fire of the Dan Ding Taoist, can be called 'elixir'."

"The pills sold in the pharmacies of Chuqiu County are nothing more than pills made from boiled herbs and then molded into mud. They are nothing compared to the elixirs that can truly subdue demons."

"I'll ask Yue'er to bring you some books later. They might be useful in the future."

Having said that, Zhang Lishi saw Li Cunxiao's expression and suddenly reacted.

"Sanlang, did you discover something?"

"To be honest, Master, I was abducted by the Wind Weasel King and ended up in a valley by accident."

Li Cunxiao knew that the main force of the treasure hunt was the person in front of him, so he decisively told him the information about the water goblins, the mysterious sword, the zombies, the black tree treasure flower, etc. without any concealment.

Zhang Lishi and Shi Tie's expressions kept changing as they listened to this bizarre experience.

The existence of the water goblins and the human demons made the two men frown, but the mysterious sword and the black tree flower made Zhang Lishi happy.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Lishi's face changed from gloomy to bright, he closed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers.

When he opened his eyes again after a moment, he had already made a decision in his mind.

"Sanlang, call your two Master Cuis over."

"Yes."

Li Cunxiao turned around and left respectfully, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

He had thought Zhang Lishi would be ecstatic about this. After all, according to the knowledge he had taught him, the mysterious sword was probably a magic treasure, the black tree was probably a spiritual herb, and as for the water goblins and the zombies...
Li Cunxiao's thoughts suddenly stopped.

Did he overestimate Zhang Lishi's strength?
That day at the foot of Pingqiu Mountain, Zhang Lishi's performance in dominating the three families really left a deep impression on him, so much so that he took it for granted that the heads of the three families were in the third realm, and that Zhang Lishi and Murong Bo, the two heroes of Chuqiu, were in the fourth realm.

Wouldn’t it be easy for a fourth-level warrior to defeat a third-level demon?

But the reality seems not to be the case.

Li Cunxiao left the study and told the Wei siblings the good news first, allowing them to rest with Qin Yu.

Then he quickly walked to the inner courtyard, first found Cui Wei, and then found Cui Yao who was secretly drinking in the duty room.

When the three of them arrived at the study together, the guards there had already been withdrawn. The three of them stepped on the blue bricks, and their footsteps went straight through the wooden wall.

Shi Tie opened the door and said, "Two uncles, please come in."

"Old Zhang, you're acting like this. Are there assassins hiding behind the house?"

Cui Yao still looked carefree, but Cui Wei sensed an unusual aura.

Before he could speak, Zhang Lishi stopped Li Cunxiao who had closed the door.

"Sanlang, tell me again carefully what you just said."

As the story went on, the Cui brothers' expressions gradually became serious. It was fine when they talked about the water goblins, but when they talked about the zombies, Cui Wei's face immediately changed drastically and he blurted out:

"It's a demon!"

Cui Yao's expression changed when he heard this, but he was solemn at first, and then he was happy.

"The demon is so chaotic and bloodthirsty, how could he stay in such a remote mountain? Unless there is some magical herb!"

"Although the spiritual herbs are good, you still need a life to get them!"

Cui Wei's face no longer had the laziness of the past. His face was knotted and his blood was rushing back, making his face red.

The originally wealthy face suddenly looked like a horse-faced monster, and Cui Yao, who was standing next to him, quickly reached out and held him down.

"Boss, calm down! It's all in the past!"

Li Cunxiao watched this scene and his heart sank gradually.

No matter who this demon is, he must be a ruthless character to be able to make two guards from the feudal lords lose their composure like this.

Zhang Lishi specifically called the Cui brothers over, as it was obvious that one person could not do it.

But looking at Cui Wei's performance, is this operation going to end before it even begins?

"Cui Da, Cui Er, we have known each other for many years, and we both know how dangerous human demons are."

"We are friends who have known each other for a lifetime. I won't waste any more time on this. I'll just mention this."

Zhang Lishi unconsciously grasped the armrest with his right hand and leaned forward:
"The demon that fell into the river was probably carrying demon flesh."

Cui Yao's breathing suddenly became heavy, and Cui Wei's expression changed from gloomy to bright, just like Zhang Lishi just now.

When Li Cunxiao heard the three words "Yeluohe", his mind suddenly buzzed, all the information connected together, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

Is the demon in the Tiankeng Lake the captain of Yeluohe who escaped that year?!
Besides magical herbs, the lake bottom also contains resources plundered by the An Lushan rebels. A treasure trove?!
