Immortality, Starting from the Side Sect

It is said that Quanzhou Quanshan is a famous resort in the Liang Kingdom. It is the main peak of the Quanling Mountains in the northwest of the Liang Kingdom. It is more than a thousand feet high, dangerous and steep, with high mountains and beautiful waters, and a variety of scenery. It is known as the "Nine Peaks and Eighteen Streams". The Jiuquan Temple of the Longhu Mountain Villa is located on it, enjoying the beauty and happiness of the scenic spot alone.

The Quanling Mountains are long and wide, starting from the northwest and extending to the southeast, dividing Quanzhou into east and west prefectures. The Liuyun River flows through the mountains. One mountain and one river divides Quanzhou into "ten" characters, Xishan The prefecture has many mountains, which is also due to the Quanling Mountains. However, most of the highlights of Quanshan are occupied by Jiuquan Temple. Those that can be allocated to Xishan Prefecture are not considered good places.

By the way, Changping County where Chen Ci is located is probably on the far left and lower side of Quanzhou. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but the monks are poor in the mountains.

More than sixty miles southeast of Dongshan County, there is the official road.

Chen Ci rode an old yellow-haired horse and walked leisurely on the official road. However, he changed into a Taoist robe and dressed up in a common brocade dress. In addition to being quite tall and having extraordinary appearance, he could not blend in with the crowd. It's too conspicuous.

"This Dongshan Mansion is much richer than the Xishan Mansion. Along the way, not only are most of the people along the way neatly dressed and healthy, but there are also many more ordinary martial arts people and martial arts practitioners than the Xishan Mansion."

Chen Ci stuffed a small booklet of words to pass the time into the saddlebags on his horse's back, feeling a little envious.

Unlike Xishan Prefecture, which has many mountains and few fields, most of Dongshan Prefecture is fertile farmland along the river, and the remaining half of the Quanling Mountains are mostly beautiful places like Quanshan. Not to mention, practicing Taoism is a life-and-death experience. , especially for Qi refining monks, off-the-job practice cannot be separated from money, rice, and food. If the place where you live is rich, it will always be more comfortable to practice.

Just like in Changping County, Mr. Chen is almost like his neighbors. As a result, relying on the land alone, he only earns 10,000 taels of silver a year, which can only be converted into a little over ten spirit beads. Just this, and he still gets more than half of it. He gave it to Chilong Temple. When he thought that all his hard-earned money was used by a cheap fellow named Yan to pick up the dragon girl, Chen Ci felt that the knife he used that day was still too blunt.

"The county town of Xishan Prefecture is just that. It is quite prosperous. It is estimated that other villages and counties, and the disciples of Jiuquan Temple are not willing to stay permanently, and because of the evil in Quanshan Mountain, manpower is needed to clear up wasteland and garrison it. This is how Jiao Zhenren can set up Fuhutan is the result of compromise among many parties.”

Chen Ci touched the envelope in his arms, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was taking a nap on horseback, but his mind fell on his golden finger.

Five Ghost Possession Methods: Introduction/9/100 (Ghost power enters the body, the body doubles, the current duration is three breaths, every ten breaths, one can enter)

Three seconds is actually quite manly.

well.

Chen Ci had some doubts as to whether the duration of the Five Ghosts' Magical Technique was increased by half a breath for each additional opening of the Golden Scale Magical Technique. Of course, it probably had something to do with the heat of the Five Ghosts' Possession Technique.

It's a pity that the crazy destructive and flammable and explosive emotional state when possessed by the five ghosts became more and more intense. In three breaths, two and a half breaths were filled with "what are you looking at", which was worse than the desire to devour when practicing the golden scale magic in the river. It is much more intense. Not to mention calming down and practicing Qi, even if a dog passes by, Mr. Chen will slap you twice.

"I never expected that the path of the Sa family would eventually end up in the soul-fixing talisman."

Chen Ci clamped the old horse under his crotch and speeded up slightly. If the soul-fixing talisman finally failed to control the evil state of the five ghosts when they were possessed, his fate would probably be worse than that of the previous Heshan disciples who practiced the five-ghost possession method. Not much stronger.

Soul-fixing Talisman: Mastery/13/100 (Talk paper and elixir will definitely become one of them. Praying calmly, ten can become five, and every hundred talismans can lead to one)

"There are only 17,400 soul-fixing talismans. With my supreme talent, my supreme qualifications, and my supreme talent, if Deep Blue can't add even a little bit, the painting will be finished."

Ridiculing Shenlan, understanding Shenlan, and longing for Shenlan, Chen Ci grinned and became more eager to return to Xishan Mansion.

According to the letter, the descendant of Geng Laodao lived in the Li family in Tonghuafang, Dongshan Prefecture. His name was Li Yuanqing. He was fourteen years old and had a thumb-sized birthmark on his left shoulder. His mother's surname was Xu Minghe and his father's surname was Li Xuedao. , the Li family is considered to have some wealth in the local area, and it shouldn't be difficult to find it after a little inquiry.

Um.

Anyway, there were a lot of things to complain about, and Chen Ci didn't know where to start, so he simply swallowed some of his thoughts. Now that he had named him, he just needed to find the real owner, and the rest had nothing to do with Mr. Chen.

After walking for about half an hour, Chen Ci arrived at the gate of the county city. The word "Anhua" was written on the top of the city gate. There were people flowing in the two rows on the left and right. A group of soldiers maintained law and order and stood beside the city gate. There is a huge notice board with some warnings on it, to the general effect of warning people in the world of martial arts and lay magicians to abide by the law. There are more than ten painted portraits below. Although they are ink portraits, they are already somewhat three-dimensional. Feelings, both physical and spiritual, are eighty similar to ordinary people.

"Huh?"

Chen Ci glanced at it twice, then suddenly stopped, jumped off the horse, and stood in front of it to look at it for a few times.

There seems to be an acquaintance here.

What's the name of a horse?

"Ma Huai, formerly known as Ma Liang, Ma Shen, and Ma Feng, is an evil cultivator in Miao territory. He is good at cultivating imps and nightmare magic. He likes to harvest the yin and yang. His true energy cultivation is about forty orifices. He doesn't care whether the person he captures lives or lives. Reward ten thousand taels of silver."

Take less?

Brother Ma, Brother Ma, you died so miserably!

Chen Ci was inexplicably heartbroken.

No wonder I came from a remote village in Changping County, and there was a monk with good cultivation passing by inexplicably. He probably fled to Xishan Prefecture from Dongshan Prefecture, or was planning to flee back to Miao territory to make a fortune. , ended up hitting the hand of Mr. Chen, the Light of Heshan, and contributed precious first blood.

But no matter how you look at it, Brother Ma’s head doesn’t look like it’s worth thousands of taels.

Too sloppy.

Although the monks also have a simple method of changing their faces, it will not be very effective in front of discerning people. If you really go on such a notice board, at least some of the larger cities and markets in Dongshan Prefecture will no longer be able to go. These side sect monks who hang out in the world have a deterrent effect.

But human heads are not easy to preserve, and as Mr. Chen is, it is not easy to receive rewards. The Heshan Sect is considered a great side sect, so if you do such a thing, wouldn't you be secluded from the side sect?

Chen Ci came to his senses and quickly scanned all the portraits.

The good news is that Mr. Chen is not on top. However, Mr. Chen has always been good at doing good and doing everything he can to eliminate evil, so he shouldn't be on top.

The bad news is that there are more than one of the Heshan disciples above. Although they don’t know each other, Master Chen’s reputation has been ruined in this way.

"It seems that you have to keep a low profile."

Chen Ci suppressed her anxiety and stuffed the Wuyin Evil Qi bag into his trouser pocket, trying not to expose any trace of it.

After paying a small fee, Chen Ci took the old horse and walked into the city honestly. There were many buildings in the city of Dongshan County, extending in all directions, and it was very prosperous. He randomly found a tea stall and lost a silver bean. After a while, he was gone. A boy led him to Tonghuafang and found the Li family's residence.

This Li Mansion cannot be called a wealthy family, but it is still pretty good. The house with three entrances and three exits looks quite elegant and quiet, at least it is not a shabby settlement.

I don't think it's any trouble.

Chen Ci didn't think much and went straight forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, an old concierge came to open the door. He saw Chen Ci, looked him up and down, and then respectfully asked, "Master, what can I do for you?"

"Is this the home of Brother Li Xuedao?"

Chen Ci asked politely: "I am from Xishan Prefecture. I had a friendship with Brother Li on a study tour back then. I passed by Dongshan Prefecture today and came here to pay a visit. I hope the old man can inform me."

When the old servant heard this, there was a trace of surprise on his face, and he said in amazement: "This is indeed the Li Mansion, but the second master is doing business abroad and has not been back for more than ten years."

Chen Ci: "."

His identity was not made up, it was according to what the letter said, but what happened?

But the so-called Brother Li is not important. As long as you find the right person, you can just pack him up and take him away. However, it would be better if there are no other complications.

"Master, please wait a moment. The master is now in charge of the house. I need to inform you."

Perhaps seeing that Chen Ci had a dignified appearance, was dressed in noble clothes, and did not look like a villain, the old servant said hello, and then went back to report. After about a cup of tea, the old servant hurriedly came out again and said respectfully: "The uncle said it." , I am a guest from afar, so I would like to invite this gentleman into the house. I also want to inquire about the second master."

"Fine."

Chen Ci wanted to take someone back to Xishan Mansion, so naturally he had to make peace with his parents, otherwise it would be a bit unkind to just take the person away.

After handing the horse over to the old servant, a boy took it to the backyard to take care of it. Chen Ci followed the old servant and walked to the lobby. The layout of the Li Mansion was quite quiet, and the servants were quite polite. I guess the style of the house was not much different. go.

Although he, Mr. Chen, was only temporarily helping A Hu train his disciples, it would be disgusting if he really kept a stupid and bad person around.

Entering the living room, a middle-aged man in his early forties came up to him. He had bright eyes, nimble hands and feet, and some martial arts skills. When this man saw Chen Ci, he looked Chen Ci up and down carefully. He was a little confused. He hesitantly raised his hands and asked, "I don't know. But in front of the Xian family?"

"Um?"

Chen Ci slightly concealed his cultivation. It might be useless if he met a high cultivator, but it would be a bit weird for a mortal to see it.

Perhaps seeing Chen Ci's doubts, Mr. Li understood something in his heart, and his expression became more respectful, and he carefully replied: "So that this master of the Immortal family knows that my younger brother, Xue Dao, has not returned home for more than ten years. I The Li family said to the outside world that he was doing business, but the family knew that he went to seek immortality and Taoism. He had left a letter saying that he had won immortality. Even if he did not come back in the future, some of his colleagues would come to visit my Li family. My dear, over the years, the Immortal Chief is the only visitor who has visited my brother by name."

Chen Ci was speechless. He couldn't understand the relationship between Geng Laodao and the Li family.

No matter, now that the Li family has a statement, Chen Ci didn't bother to bother anymore, showed his true energy, and said directly: "Since Brother Li left a letter, I won't cover it up. Let's call out his son Li Yuanqing. I was entrusted by Brother Li to take him back to the mountain gate to practice."

"Immortal, I have a few smart juniors in my Li family. I wonder if Immortal can take a look at them. They are all from the same family. Xuedao shouldn't care about them."

The expression on Mr. Li's face was one of expectation and some hesitation, and he whispered: "Well, that kid Yuanqing also got the chance to be immortal a few days ago and was accepted as a registered disciple by the Han family in Sifang Mountain. Now he is no longer at home. .”

After a pause, Mr. Li was a little pleased and explained: "So that the Xian family will know that the Taoist priest who took Yuan Qing away said that their ancestors of the Han family once sought Taoism in Quan Mountain, and Hanjiazhuang in Sifang Mountain is also a local village. I also asked my friends in the government office to inquire about the wealthy family, and found out that it was indeed true, and that the man was not a liar, so I agreed."

Chen Ci couldn't help but be stunned. What is this? Lin Huhu's cheap disciple was cut off?

Could this person named Li Yuanqing be a fairy seedling?

But sooner or later, just a few days before he came, this kid had a magical destiny and was accepted by some Han family as a registered disciple. Chen Ci couldn't tell if there was something fishy about it.

"This Immortal Chief, can you please summon the children of the clan and show them to the Immortal Chief?"

Master Li's attitude was very respectful. Chen Ci glanced at him. His eyes were straight and not slanted, and his expression was joyful and unhurried. It didn't look like he had done anything bad, but more like the joy of his children meeting the fate of immortals one after another. .

But the problem is that Geng Laodao didn't say to accept a child of the Li family, but named a person by name. Chen Ci was also a little unsure about the relationship. He didn't know whether the Li family and Geng Laodao were related by blood. He Naturally, it is impossible to take someone with you as a messenger.

This is a bit troublesome.

He didn't know the details of the so-called Han family in Sifang Mountain. It was hard to say whether it was higher or lower than Jiuquan Temple and Fuhu Altar. However, Lin Laohu was a high-grade Taoist priest who had a good chance of condensing elixirs. He also promised Geng Laodao a Taoist future, so why? It seems that Hunhe Mountain has a better future.

Otherwise, write a letter and ask Ahu?

As a young disciple of Heshan, he couldn't forcibly abduct a disciple who was related to Longhu Mountain in the territory of Dongshan Mansion.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ci lightly rubbed her fingertips and asked in a solemn voice: "Mr. Li, Brother Li's wife, Mrs. Xu, is in the house. Can you please come out for a while?"

"this"

He rashly wanted to see the female family members of the inner palace. If others said such things, Mr. Li would have called them out. However, he did not dare to refuse the Xian family's speech, but his hesitation made people a little suspicious.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Chen Ci looked slightly cold and asked.

"No, that immortal elder, my sister-in-law had a serious illness a few days ago, and she has just recovered a little. She can't see the wind or get out of bed."

Mr. Li gave a wry smile and simply said: "This disease is very strange. It was only after Taoist Master Han applied the elixir that it temporarily improved. I am also afraid that the sick woman will break into the Xian family, so I dare not say anything to respond."
