The tall old man, whose real name is Gao Jianfeng, was already a rare billionaire in China more than thirty years ago.
But what really made him famous across the country was not his wealth or his story of starting from scratch, but his announcement thirty years ago to give up all his property and go to Zhongnan Mountain to become a hermit.
Although qigong was very popular at that time, a billionaire who gave up his property to become a hermit in the mountains still shocked the country, attracting many TV stations, reporters and media to go to Zhongnan Mountain to arrest him. Because of his incident, the hermits on the mountain also
It also became a little popular.
At the same time, because of this incident, he gained a high reputation among some hermits in Zhongnan Mountain. After all, this was someone who could give up tens of millions of property for the sake of spiritual practice.
Therefore, after the incident of madness, many hermits were willing to follow him into the Tomb of the Living Dead, and even elected him as the head of the newly built hermit village.
I never expected that this person turned out to be Yue Buqun, who had endured all these years just for the sake of the underground spiritual veins of Zhongnan Mountain, and treated them as tools. He had been digging for him for thirty years to reach the underground spiritual veins.
"Gao Jianfeng! Are you still speaking in human language?"
One of the villagers couldn't hold back his resentment, so he pointed at him and yelled: "You have lied to us for thirty years! We still treat you as a guide on the path of spiritual practice and choose you to be the village chief! Are you still a human being?"
"Humph, now that it's over, I won't pretend anymore, I'm going to show off my cards!"
The tall old man's eyes were gloomy and he said with a sneer: "There is a strange movement in the underground spiritual veins, which means that my plan is about to succeed. Needless to say, the group of people digging for spiritual veins below must have been shocked to death.
Of course, I will go down and collect the bodies for them later, and you are here to witness me becoming an immortal in one step! Hahaha!"
"It seems that you are not only an idiot, but also a retard."
Xia Tian shook his head and said sarcastically.
"Boy, I don't know which force sent you here, but it's best not to interfere with my business today."
After the tall old man showed his cards, his entire aura changed. Compared to the crazy and crazy person just now, he became more gloomy. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"With your little strength, you don't seem qualified to say this."
Shi Chun felt a little funny.
The tall old man sneered and said proudly: "In order to live forever, I have worked hard for more than thirty years and given up tens of millions of assets. Do you really think I am the only one?"
"What do you mean?"
Many villagers asked in surprise and uncertainty.
"Humph, today I will let you open your eyes again!"
The tall old man suddenly tore off his clothes, revealing the black fluorescent tights underneath. The whole person loomed in the darkness, but his voice was still loud, "See it, see it clearly, see it clearly!"
"Is this the invisibility technique?"
"It's impossible. Even if there is invisibility, his cultivation is not enough."
"But if it wasn't for invisibility, how did he do it just now?"
"..." Seeing this situation, some people couldn't help but scream.
Although the villagers are all hermits and claim to be practitioners, in fact they have little cultivation and have not even touched the threshold of the Qi refining stage.
But their theoretical knowledge about spiritual practice is quite rich.
"Brother-in-law, this guy is so awesome."
Shi Chun couldn't help but admire, and said to Xia Tian: "You don't even know the invisibility technique, but he can actually do it."
Xia Tian curled his lips dissatisfied: "He doesn't know any invisibility skills at all, and he wasn't invisible just now."
"So what's going on?"
Ning Ruirui was also a little confused.
"I'm just wearing something that distorts my vision."
Xia Tian lazily explained: "It only works in places with insufficient light. If you take it outside, it can only be used for fun."
"fart!"
When the tall old man heard Xia Tian's words, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Back then, I didn't give up all my assets, but I invested all my money in a foreign project to research invisibility cloaks. Not long ago, the research and development was finally successful.
Haha, science has helped me achieve things that cultivation has not allowed me to achieve.”
Shi Chun asked with some confusion: "Then you can continue to study immortality through scientific research. Why bother digging for spiritual veins in the ground?"
When the tall old man heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He actually thought it made sense.
"Because he doesn't have that much money."
Xia Tian complained at the right moment, "Actually, tens of millions of dollars in assets shouldn't be enough to research and develop an invisibility cloak.
What these people are wearing must be pirated goods and not of much use."
"shut up!"
The tall old man was so angry that he shouted: "I don't have time to waste time with you here, and I am still talking nonsense to you. I just want to remind you of our thirty-year friendship and wait for me to become an immortal later.
The underground spiritual veins may collapse. If you don’t want to die, run away now, as far as you can.”
"You are wishful thinking!"
"We will never let you harm the underground spiritual veins!"
"If you still want to become an immortal, go and see the King of Hell!"
"..." The villagers rushed towards the tall old man with great excitement.
The tall old man turned around and glanced at the cracks in the ground, estimated the time, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the hidden guard!"
The sound of drinking didn't stop, but little fluorescent lights flashed from time to time in the darkness.
People with sharp eyes quickly saw the true faces of those fluorescent lights. They were the same people wearing black fluorescent tights like the tall old man.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The villagers who rushed towards the crack in the ground were suddenly knocked away and fell heavily to the ground.
The tall old man appeared, with a proud smile on his face: "Do you really think I am working alone?
Thirty years ago, in addition to the invisibility cloak, I also made other preparations."
"When did these people show up?"
The woman in coarse cloth asked in astonishment, "Why didn't we notice it?"
Xia Tian yawned lazily and said: "It's not when they appeared, but how long you have lived here, how long they have lived."
"Doctor Xia, I don't quite understand what you mean."
The woman in coarse cloth looked confused.
Xia Tian curled his lips, feeling that this woman was also a fool, and said casually: "They are the same kind of people as you. Is it clear enough to put it this way?"
Most of the villagers still didn't understand what it meant.
"Uncle Xia means that these people are also from the Hermitage Village."
But the little Taoist nun understood instantly, "Mom, they may be the people who escaped from our village before."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Nian Xin, I didn't expect you to be so smart."
The tall old man laughed ferociously and admitted readily, "Yes, the so-called dead, missing, and escaped hermits more than 20 years ago have actually been bribed by me and have become my subordinates."
The villagers in the Hermitage Village were a little bit broken now. The tall old man had actually plotted against them to such an extent. It was really unacceptable for a while.
At this time, a long roar suddenly came from the ground.
"Okay, everything is ready below."
The tall old man showed ecstasy on his face and said to everyone: "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Thirty years of hard work are finally bearing fruit.
When I become an immortal, I will come up and talk to you about old times!"
After saying that, the body disappeared into the darkness, and not even a little fluorescent light could be caught.
"Everyone, come together, don't let this old thief succeed!"
Some of the villagers shouted loudly, and then they all rushed forward again. Unfortunately, before they could get close to the seam, they were kicked back by the hidden guards again.
"Lend it to your daughter."
Suddenly the tall old man's voice sounded in the air.
"Ah, Nianxin is gone."
Then, the woman in coarse cloth was shocked to find that the little Taoist nun Nianxin was no longer around, and she immediately screamed.
Shi Chun and Ning Ruirui were more concerned about the little Taoist nun Nian Xin, and immediately started looking for traces of Nian Xin.
"There, it looked like she was about to jump."
Shi Chun raised his hand and pointed to the seam in the ground, and sure enough he saw the little Taoist nun thinking about herself at home, her collar bulging high, obviously someone had caught her.
"Nianxin!"
The woman in coarse cloth rushed over, but was stopped by the hidden guards.
Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun looked at each other, rushed over without hesitation, slapped away the hidden guards with one palm, and jumped into the crack in the ground.
Under the cracks in the ground, there are several rather spacious corridors, presumably leading to underground spiritual veins.
"over there!"
Shi Chun discovered the figure of the little Taoist nun Nian Xin in the darkness and immediately chased after her, followed closely by Ning Ruirui.
After entering the corridor, Shi Chun and Ning Ruirui kept sliding down, just like the slides in an amusement park. However, the design of these corridors is quite user-friendly. In order to avoid excessive acceleration, each slide
There are deceleration devices at some distance and a small platform for resting.
However, Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun are immortal cultivators, so this speed poses no threat to them at all.
I don’t know how long I skated, but I finally reached the end of the corridor. It was an extremely empty corridor. It seemed that this was originally an underground river. Later, after artificial transformation, there was a rather spacious river bank.
"There is a bright light ahead, Sister Ruirui, let's go there."
Shi Chun had the best eyesight and quickly found the direction, "And there is the smell of Nian Xin here."
Ning Ruirui nodded, suddenly pulled Shi Chun, and walked forward: "Be careful, there might be an ambush nearby."
"Sister Ruirui, don't worry, there will be no threat to us if there is an ambush."
Shi Chun chuckled and felt happy, "Besides, my brother-in-law is the one who takes care of everything."
"You said Xia Tian, he didn't come down."
Ning Ruirui replied casually.
Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look, and there was no one behind him: "Isn't that right? Is my brother-in-law so slow? Or does he think there is no problem with us two, so he doesn't follow us?"
Ning Ruirui replied casually: "Don't worry about it, he will show up when he should."
"Humph, he won't show up."
In mid-air, a voice suddenly sounded from far and near, "Because he will die soon, and so will you!"
