How did I, a fake bodyguard, become a terrestrial immortal?

"Isn't there any other way?"

Fang Xuan swallowed a pill, and his breathing stabilized slightly: "Perhaps."

"But the lineage of stargazers has been severed. How exactly the seal on the Heavenly Demon Well works is probably only known to Gu Shouyi."

Zhao Mingtang frowned: "But he has been missing for ten years."

"So we can't touch those nine chains now."

Fang Xuan looked at Lu Yang: "Those extraterrestrial demons told you Lu Chenzhou's whereabouts because they wanted to use you to break the seal."

"What they say may be true, but they are definitely hiding something more important."

Lu Yang nodded.

He really wanted to find the father of this body.

But releasing a group of ancient monsters who have lived for who knows how many years in order to save one person is somewhat immoral.

We need to find out the situation of the Heavenly Demon Well first.

"Then let's go to the Valley of a Thousand Flowers first."

Lu Yang looked at Bai Miyao: "Yao'er's internal problems have not been resolved yet, and Fang Xuan also needs to heal."

"As for my father..."

"He's been able to hold on for 21 years, so a few more days shouldn't make a difference."

Zhou Shun opened his mouth.

This may sound a bit unfilial, but there really isn't a better option right now.

Fang Xuan nodded and said, "Continue south from here, cross the ferry pass, and after a few more months we will enter the territory of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers."

"Once we reach the valley, I can consult historical records and perhaps find more information about the Heavenly Demon Well."

The group tentatively decided on their next route.

It was completely dark by then.

Beside the campfire.

Zhou Shun treated Fang Xuan's wounds, while Bai Yixin and Zhao Mingtang sat opposite Lu Yang, their eyes never leaving him.

Lu Yang felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze.

"Ask whatever you want."

Zhao Mingtang thought for a moment: "Airplanes really aren't chickens?"

"no."

"Where's the box that transmits sound across vast distances?"

"Call the cell phone."

"A weapon capable of destroying a city?"

"This is a bit complicated to explain."

Lu Yang thought Zhao Mingtang would ask about his identity, but she was more interested in the things the woman in black robes mentioned.

Bai Miyao also came over.

"Uncle Lu, did you used to live in the sky?"

"no."

"Then why did you come here from another world?"

Lu Yang remained silent for a moment.

"Maybe God saw that I had too much of an easy life in my past life, so He deliberately added a little difficulty for me."

Bai Miyao nodded as if she understood but not quite.

Bai Yixin asked, "Were you also a bodyguard in your original world?"

"I've delivered food before."

What is food delivery?

"You have to deliver meals to others within a specified time; otherwise, you'll be fined."

A look of realization dawned on Zhao Mingtang's eyes.

"So you really did do darts before, and it was a very difficult timed darts competition."

Lu Yang did not refute.

This understanding doesn't seem to have any problems.

Bai Yixin's eyebrows curved slightly as she asked softly, "Was the reclusive family that Young Master Lu mentioned earlier also a lie?"

The smile on Lu Yang's face faded slightly.

I guess so.

Bai Yixin looked at him but did not ask any further questions.

"So you've agreed to escort us to Coldfall City?"

"It's true."

"Where's Yao'er?"

"That's true too."

Bai Yixin nodded gently: "That's enough."

She carried Bai Miyao back to the carriage, without asking Lu Yang where he came from or pursuing how many lies he had told.

Zhao Mingtang remained seated in the same spot.

"Why don't you ask?" Lu Yang asked.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'm in someone else's body?"

Zhao Mingtang raised his hand, revealing the lock mark on his wrist.

"You've already taken up a part of my body, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lu Yang was speechless.

After saying that, Zhao Mingtang realized that her words were a bit inappropriate. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she got up and walked towards the carriage.

Get some rest.

Lu Yang watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.

After the transmigrator's identity was exposed, it didn't seem as serious as he had imagined.

……

The next morning.

Fang Xuan's injuries had not yet healed, and he could only lie in the carriage.

Zhou Shun is too old to continue traveling together.

Lu Yang left him some silver and told him to go to Hanlin City as soon as possible to tell Shen Guanqi about the sinking boat dock.

The group then resumed their southward journey along the official road.

As noon approached, the city walls of the ferry pass could be seen ahead.

Fang Xuan suddenly stopped the carriage.

"Don't get any closer."

Lu Yang lifted the carriage curtain: "What's wrong?"

"The number of Zhenwu Division officers near the city gate is several times greater than usual."

A guard from the Prince An's residence had already gone ahead to investigate.

Not long after, he rode back, carrying with him a notice that had just been taken down from outside the city.

"Princess, I'm afraid we can't enter the city directly."

Zhao Mingtang took the notice.

The paper depicted a man with a square face and a flat nose, with Lu Yang's name written next to it.

Lu Yang leaned over and took a look.

"Who is this?"

"you."

"Bullshit, I'm not that ugly!"

The guard pointed to the bottom of the notice.

"A reward of five hundred taels of silver will be given to anyone who provides clues, and a reward of five thousand taels of silver will be given to anyone who captures Lu Yang alive."

Lu Yang looked at the portrait again.

"If you look closely, it does have some of the charm."

Zhao Mingtang ignored his nonsense and continued reading.

The notice included more than just Lu Yang's name.

Fang Xuan was also among those being pursued.

[Lu Yang, a native of the Northern Territory, is suspected of being possessed by an evil spirit from beyond the realm, possessing ancient evil magic, and colluding with remnants of the Green Lotus Cult.]

Fang Xuan possessed Princess Zhao Mingtang of Yong'an, intending to use the token from the Prince of An's residence to sneak into the ferry pass.

Zhao Mingtang's expression grew colder and colder; the contents of the notice were a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Even their plan to use the Yong'an Token to enter the ferry pass had been anticipated by the other side.

"Was this message sent by the woman in black robes?" Bai Yixin asked.

Fang Xuan shook his head.

"She left Shimen only one night ago and didn't have time to get to the ferry crossing to arrange all this."

"Besides, an ordinary town guard wouldn't immediately close the city gates just because of a woman of unknown origin."
