I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

"Dad? What did you say?"

"Ahem, it's nothing! Qing'er, who is this...?"

"Oh! Greetings, Uncle Ximen. My name is Zhou Qingyun. I suppose I am your son's fellow disciple!" Zhou Qingyun cupped his hands in greeting.

Simon's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow...fellow disciple?!"

At the same time, he looked at Ximen Qing with his eyes.

You're still wary of your dad? Didn't you say you were self-taught?

Ximen Qing helplessly shrugged; there was no way to explain it.

He asked directly, "Where are Miss Nie and the others?"

"Oh, they can't stay idle. They took the steward and Awang and led the remaining bandits to repair the main road outside."

Simon Da shrugged.

"Oh? Them? You really don't trust me at all!"

Ximen Qing covered his face.

"You rascal, you're really letting your concern cloud your judgment. With so many old brothers watching over you, what's there to worry about? But you, you've really scared me to death these past three days. I almost led a group into the mountains to look for you. How about it, judging from your face, you've gained quite a bit?"

Ximen Da looked at Ximen Qing and asked, while nodding to Zhou Qingyun.

"Pretty much. Anyway, the road is open now. We rescued some people over there, and I told them to wait where they are. We'll pick them up later and hand them over to the authorities after we get out of the mountains."

Ximen Qing was referring to the people who remained around the mountain god temple in the mountains, including both bandits and innocent civilians.

"This is simple." Simonda's face visibly relaxed.

If we really have to take a detour, that would be a real problem.

"Hey! Young master! You're back!?"

Just then, Chunmei's voice came from afar.

The personal maid waved lively, and behind her stood Cui Ji and Nie Xiaoqian, dressed in men's clothing.

The bond between these two lovers is growing stronger, as they hold hands.

Following them were dozens of bandits who were being escorted to help with road construction; each of them had a dark complexion and looked dejected.

It goes without saying that Zhou Qingyun and Nie Xiaoqian got to know each other.

There wasn't any chaotic or dramatic situation.

Ximen Qing wasn't the real old devil of the Hehuan Sect; he didn't have that much charm.

Overall, things seem to be going well.

The convoy left Black Wind Village directly, taking with it the village's warehouses when they left.

That's quite interesting.

Their convoy consisted of only about thirty large carts that left their home. Lanruo Temple robbed... oops! Lanruo Temple replenished its supply, and Black Wind Village replenished its supply once more.

Now the fleet has grown to nearly a hundred large trucks. Can you believe that their wealth has doubled?

If he went back to Guobei County, people who didn't know better would think his family had gone on a robbery!

With new friends, Zhou Qingyun quickly abandoned Ximen Qing and started chatting with Nie Xiaoqian and the others.

Her silvery laughter could be heard even through several large trucks.

Ximen Qing, on the other hand, was riding his horse, resting with his eyes closed.

In reality, he was engrossed in his system panel.

[Player Card: Ximen Qing]

[Strength: Fifth Level of the Acquired Realm]

[Astrological Fate: None]

[Skills: Iron Body (Passive), Yin-Yang Supplementation (Passive), Gentleman on the Beam (Passive), Spirit Consultation (Active)]

[Card Warehouse: Jade Kirin Lu Junyi (SSR Fragment x2), Cloud Dragon Gongsun Sheng (SR), Black Whirlwind Li Kui (R), Drummer Shi Qian (R), Divine Strategist Zhu Wu (SR Fragment x1)]

"The strategist Zhu Wu?"

Ximen Qing's gaze fell upon this fragment.

Oh, I remember now, it was the last one left over when I drew Li Kui last time.

However, Zhu Wu was not famous among the heroes of Water Margin. Ximen Qing only remembered that he seemed to be the one who ran an inn at the foot of the mountain, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

Skipping over the unchanged item warehouse, we arrived at the Soul Points section.

[Soul Points: 45]

He did not receive any Soul Points during the Mural Painting Incident.

Although he gained strength and reached the fifth level of the Day After Tomorrow realm, catching up with the previous Daoist Gu Yunzi, the flower slave did not die, and he was forced to abstain from sex.

It's fair to say they lost out big time.

"Feeling a bit unlucky, how about a ten-pull to cheer myself up?"

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

In the previous all-in bet, with Black Whirlwind as a safety net, I unlocked the life-saving skill [Iron Bull Body].

Now that we have so many chances, how can we not try!

"open!"

As soon as Ximen Qing had a thought, the ten orbs of light exploded in the air.

Lined up in a row!

Lin Niangzi's handkerchief

[Shi Xiu's Firewood Cleaver]

A pot of love's threads

Pan Jinlian's bracelet (a gift from Ximen Qing)

[Zhang Heng's Dagger]

……

[The Breath-Holding Pills of the Ruan Brothers]

"What the hell is all this stuff?"

Ximen Qing, sitting on his horse, opened his eyes wide and began to curse.

"Qing'er? What's wrong?"

This attracted the attention of Simon, who was standing in front.

"It's alright!"

Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

Within sight, ten different item cards were visible amidst the light.

There's no limit to how bad things can get!

And you're going to take everything from Sister Jinlian! When did I give her the bracelet? I didn't even know!

System, this high-ranking official is accusing you of defamation!

"Recycle it all! Recycle it all!"

Ximen Qing waved his hand weakly.

[Lin Chong's wife's handkerchief: Expected Soul Points to be recovered]

Should we proceed?

【whether】

Watching the 0.1 and 0.2 Soul Points fluctuate on the screen feels like watching a heartless, quantifiable machine.

[The Ruan Brothers' Breath-Holding Pill: Expected to recover 5 Soul Points]

Should we proceed?

"Um... wait a minute!"

Upon hearing the notification tone, Ximen Qing abruptly changed his tone from "yes" to a higher pitch to avoid a potential danger.

Click on this item and take a closer look.

The three Nguyen brothers' breath-holding pills: can greatly increase underwater movement speed and extend underwater activity time to half an hour.

Usage: Hold in your mouth (the item disappears when the breath-holding pill is completely consumed)

Looking at the only useful item he got from this ten-pull, Ximen Qing pondered for a long time before deciding to store it in his inventory.

Although he felt he probably wouldn't go into the water, he was just afraid of the worst-case scenario.

"What a humiliating failure!"

After storing the breath-holding pills in the warehouse, Ximen Qing looked up at the sky above Black Wind Mountain and let out a gambler's wail, emanating a strong sense of oppression.

Forget it, I'll stop smoking for now.

All of this did not affect the convoy's progress.

After successfully meeting up with the people in front of the Mountain Granny Temple, they traveled day and night without stopping.

Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, they emerged from Black Wind Mountain and saw a small town on the distant plains.

"Is that Songshan County?"

Simon gazed into the distance.

"Exactly!" Zhou Qingyun had been here before and nodded affirmatively upon hearing this: "Changting Village outside the city is the Shi family's residence. Their family has lived here for generations, making a living by hunting demons!"

"A family of demon hunters?"

Nie Xiaoqian asked curiously.

"Exactly! Although they don't cultivate the path of sword immortality, they possess bloodline techniques that allow them to capture demons! Sister Shi is especially outstanding among them, but unfortunately, she was taken advantage of by that mountain demon!"

Zhou Qingyun angrily slapped the hilt of her sword!

A genius destined for fame dies in the mountains he frequented since childhood; perhaps this is a kind of mockery.
