"Master, since you are here, let's go up and take a look? After all, he said he can cure your disease?" The coachman looked up at himself.
Are there a few monks in the temple who are not easy to deal with?
"What are you looking at? How can you cure a disease if you are dead? Cough cough." Another coughing sound came from the carriage.
"go back!"
"Yes, sir!" The driver drove the carriage back.
By this time it was getting dark.
"Master, how about we go to Guobei County and spend one night before leaving?"
"If you don't stay, leave overnight!"
"Yes, sir."
The driver drove the carriage towards the way it came.
Under the night, the clatter of horses' hooves and the creaking of wheels were extremely loud.
Woo, suddenly there was a black air flying through the air.
"Monster!" The driver immediately became nervous.
The curtain on the side of the carriage was opened, and the people inside took a look outside.
Suddenly a ray of light flashed in the air, and then the black air dissipated, as if a bubble had been pricked by a needle, and then something fell down.
Hiss, the driver took a deep breath.
"parking!"
The person in the car shouted softly. The carriage stopped on the official road.
"master?"
Shhh, the people in the car made soft noises as if they were afraid of someone.
Woo, a gust of autumn wind blew by, bringing with it a bit of chill, and blew down a few dead leaves.
The coachman vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark. As long as he made the slightest movement, his head would be dislocated.
In the woods a few miles away, Wang Zhe looked at a corpse on the ground.
Wearing a black robe, with strange blue patterns embroidered on his face.
He was full of evil spirits and dared to fly across the sky nearby. He happened to be watching the sky at night and saw him. He came over from the mountain and killed him with a sword.
"And over there, there must be a carriage on the official road, the carriage that caused Ye Zhiqiu to suffer a big loss."
The carriage was also a bit strange. There was only the breath of the driver on the carriage, and the breath of the people in the carriage was mostly covered.
Wang Zhe didn't investigate further, stood up and left.
After an hour, the carriage started on its way again.
"master?"
"It should be him. Silence and leave!"
"yes!"
The coachman's body tensed up and sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Fortunately, we didn't do anything at Lanruo Temple just now!" The coachman was frightened just thinking about it.
The carriage walked slowly on the official road, without stopping all night, covering hundreds of miles, until dawn.
"Sir, the front is beyond the boundary of Kuaiji Mansion." The carriage driver couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The rumors were indeed true, the first-grade master did not actually leave Kuaiji Mansion.
"Du Changshan, you are asking me to ask for directions. Do you really think that I am ignorant? The friendship that has lasted so many years is broken today!"
Shan County is still nearly two hundred miles away from the mountain peak where Wang Zhe practiced.
In a mountain village, a man on horseback came early in the morning. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was Ye Zhiqiu.
After entering the village, he asked someone for directions. He came to the door of a house and knocked on the door. Inside the door was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair and a slightly hunched back.
"Hello old man, may I ask if this is Fei An's family?"
"Yes, it's just that my son has been away from home and has not returned." The old man said.
"I am Ye Zhiqiu, a friend of Fei An. This is the letter Fei An asked me to bring. Here are fifty taels of silver." Ye Zhiqiu took out the letter and a package containing silver.
He spent all his money along the way and sold all his horses, but he didn't use the money, not at all.
"Oh, thank you. Come in and sit down quickly. Have a drink of water." The old man hurriedly invited Ye Zhiqiu into the house and called his wife out.
"How about my son over there?"
"Brother Fei is very happy in Qin. It's just that he's busy with business these days and won't be able to come back to visit you for a while. Let me tell you not to worry about him." Ye Zhiqiu smiled and told a white lie.
"Then did he say when he would come back?"
"If nothing happens, I will be back before the end of the year!"
After hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said, the two old men were very happy.
Alas, Ye Zhiqiu sighed when he saw this. In fact, Fei An was very ill. He had sought treatment from many doctors in Qin, but had not seen any results. He was afraid that he would not last long.
The old man still knew some words and read to his wife what his son wrote in the letter.
After completing his friend's instructions, Ye Zhiqiu said goodbye and left.
The old man insisted on giving Ye Zhiqiu a piece of silver, but he declined.
After leaving his friend's house, Ye Zhiqiu felt a little heavy.
I thought of my friend who was lying in the hospital bed, and his parents at home were waiting for him to come back. After waiting so long, they heard the news of his son's death, so the two old people must have been heartbroken.
"Hey, I wonder if the expert who saved me yesterday can save Fei An.
It’s a pity that I don’t know if I can meet him again.”
Ye Zhiqiu thought of the expert he met yesterday.
After leaving the village, he hurriedly arrived at the place where he met the expert yesterday.
"My benefactor, I would like to meet you in the autumn of Xia Ye." After dismounting, he shouted in the forest, startling a flock of birds, but other than that there was no response.
"I think that expert is passing by here. Then I will wait here for two more days. If I can meet him again, Brother Fei'an may be saved."
Ye Zhiqiu found a clean place in the forest to sit down, took out the few pieces of paper that Wang Zhe had given him and began to read them carefully.
Outside Guobei County, at the foot of Lanruo Temple Mountain, a middle-aged man carrying a wooden box was a little confused.
"Strange, where are the people?"
"Master, did Senior Lu forget it?" said the young disciple on the side.
"Impossible, as I said in the letter, we will meet at the foot of the mountain today. Let's just wait for him!"
"yes."
They waited all day, but no one arrived.
"Master, has something happened to Senior Lu?" The young disciple was a little worried.
"His cultivation level is so high and he has already reached the second level. What can happen? Wait a minute."
So the master and apprentice waited for another day, but still didn't find the person they were waiting for.
"What, what's going on?"
"Master, how about we take action directly?"
"No, we can't make it happen just by the two of us."
"Master, aren't you carrying the enchanting smoke? Those monks are nothing to worry about!"
"Those monks are easy to deal with, but that old locust tree is not so easy to deal with." The middle-aged man said.
"The skills practiced by Lu Yan will be of great help to us in dealing with that Gu Huai. Let's wait and see. Maybe he encountered something and was delayed."
At night, it's quiet.
Wang Zhe was looking at the sky on the mountain when he saw another black air coming from the northwest.
"Another one?"
He rose into the air and was at the man's side in an instant, then slashed him down with his sword.
Before the man could react, he saw a ray of light, his head was in a different place, and he fell from the air.
This man was dressed the same as the man the day before yesterday, with a black robe and the same strange patterns on his face.
"Looking at the clothes and decorations, this person is from the same organization or gang as the person yesterday. He is full of evil, and he comes one after another. What is he doing?"
A hundred miles away in Kuaiji Mansion, in a manor outside the city.
There was only a little light, and two men in black robes sat opposite each other, with their eyes closed and not speaking. They just sat like this until dawn.
In the early morning, when the sun rose and the room was still a little dark, one of the people suddenly opened his eyes.
"Akui is gone too."
"At night, in the wilderness again, what will he encounter? Could it be that top grader?" The man opposite also opened his eyes.
"When we arrived, the Dharma King specifically told us to be careful about this person. It must be that Agui and the others did not cover their aura when they went out, and they were discovered by that person."
"Then what do we do?"
"Seal your own aura, disguise yourself, and go find that tomb during the day!"
"good!"
The two men used magic to seal their auras, then changed their appearance, changed out of their conspicuous robes, and put on ordinary coarse cloth clothes, then left the city and headed towards Guobei County.
On the mountain road not far from Lanruo Temple,
"Master, are we still waiting?"
"No wait, come with me to Luokeng Mountain to find Lu Yan and find out what's going on."
"Yes, Master."
The master and apprentice immediately left on horseback. On the way, they met two men on horseback.
The two men were wearing coarse clothes and had expressionless faces.
Four people and four horses passed each other without stopping.
About a mile out, the middle-aged man suddenly reined in the reins and looked back.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"Those two people have a problem, and they changed their minds."
"Then, should we follow and take a look?"
"No, it's important to do business."
The other two people also stopped and looked back at the empty road.
"The man just now was Du Changshan, a subordinate of Dingyang Marquis Fu Qing'an."
"Marquis Dingyang of Ganzhou? What are his men doing here? Could it be that they are also here for the tomb?"
"It's hard to say. No matter what, we have to find the tomb as soon as possible."
"There are mountains all around. If we use magic, but we are afraid of disturbing that person, how can we find him?"
"The Taoist priest in purple is a practitioner and is proficient in magic. He will naturally choose a Feng Shui treasure place for himself. Let's start with those Feng Shui treasure places."
"That's fine."
Two days later, the two men stood under a collapsed mountain peak.
One man was holding a piece of jade in his hand.
"This is where it is. Flash floods collapsed the mountain and washed out the treasures inside."
"Look, there is a sword mark there." One person pointed to the faintly visible sword mark on the rock.
"So he's been here?"
"Go in and have a look!"
The two people activated their magic, and after a while they moved the rocks outside, revealing a gap, and saw the corridor inside, and then entered the tomb.
In the tomb, they saw the beheaded two-winged centipede.
Although the centipede had been killed for several days, its carapace was as bright as ever, like steel.
"This centipede has become a spirit, what a pity!"
"Sword mark, he has been here." One person reached out and touched the sword mark.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The two entered the tomb and came to the coffin. They opened the coffin lid first and saw the corpse inside which was cut into two pieces with a sword.
"It's him, Taoist Ziyi!"
"It looks like he became an Inferi and was beheaded by that person."
"Hurry and look around to see if there are any clues to the Eight Desolate Monuments!"
"Look at this coffin lid." One of the people pointed to the inside of the coffin lid.
Where is Qianqiu? It is hard to find it in eight deserts.
"Sure enough, he once looked for this Eight Desolate Monuments!"
The two men directly lifted the body that had been chopped into two pieces from the coffin and searched the inside and outside of the coffin.
Then they searched the tomb both inside and outside, but couldn't find what they were looking for.
One of them looked at the purple garment with a sword mark on the purple-robed Taoist, stepped forward and took off the purple garment, and then inspected it carefully.
An abnormality was found in the sleeve of the right hand. When he tore it open, he saw a picture.
The two men took a closer look at the torch and then looked at each other.
"Treasure map!"
"Fortunately, that person just killed the infernal corpse and didn't search his body carefully."
"Maybe he just came here to conquer the devil and doesn't know the origin of this purple-robed Taoist."
The two men collected the treasure map, then searched all the financial reports in the tomb, and then left cautiously.
The two people left in a hurry after leaving the purple-robed Taoist's tomb.
