Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Golden Wuxi falls into the ghost town in the forest

 A group of fifty or sixty people.

　　It is an eye-catching presence wherever it is placed, let alone riding across the city.

 Soon, it attracted countless gazes.

Nanjian City is not big at all.

 Plus they are Han Chinese.

It can be considered extremely rare in the western Yunnan Road where hundreds of barbarians live together.

but.

Nanjian City is ultimately ruled by the Zuo Chieftain.

 That third young master is even more famous for being cruel and cruel.

Horse riding like this in the city.

 “Okay, let's go to his house.”

 According to his plan, it was best to rush to Lucheng and reach Fuxian Lake within three days.

In other words, today's Tusi Mansion is, in the final analysis, an empty shell.

The paper tiger relies solely on the residual intimidation accumulated over hundreds of years.

The same was true for the Miao restaurant that Bamo took to Ami Prefecture.

 That is the most common symbol of the Miao family.

Although the Chen family makes a living by fighting against each other.

 Looking in the direction she pointed.

 But since he returned to his native land, his strength has actually been weakened by more than half.

  A few more years.

The Weishan Zuo family seems to be a giant.

 The reason why.

While the horse was rising and falling, a silver bell rang in his ears.

 Do you still care about such small things?

 But the three generations of shopkeepers all have the heart of a Bodhisattva.

These people are afraid that the road is narrow.

  Predictable.

 Chen Yulou seemed to have never seen this.

Now, half a day has passed.

Hong girl pointed to the distance with a hint of surprise.

　　He has already learned enough truths from the former soldier.

Although he still has the responsibility of being in charge of one side, there are checks and balances from the local magistrate outside the chieftain's house, so all aspects have to be restricted.

“Shopkeeper, there is a Jian Miao Restaurant in front of you, do you want to try it?”

 In the words of Huamaguai.

 Just want to find a place to eat and rest as soon as possible.

　　It does not mean being domineering or arrogant.

The real power of the Weishan Zuo family has plummeted.

 A mere descendant of a chieftain, a dandy, how could he have so much time to play tricks with him?

  Hunting is a big place, how can we ban horses from traveling?

The local magistrate was changed to the county magistrate, and he was responsible for many responsibilities such as local security and people's livelihood. Even important matters such as troop deployment did not need to be communicated with the chieftain's government.

 They all shook their heads, looking at them with eyes full of sympathy.

On the contrary, his reputation in Sanxiang and Four Rivers is obvious to all.

only…

That is to say, those native mountain people, who are still afraid of the Zuo family, the Tuzhai, who are flexible and powerful, are already obedient to the Tusi Mansion.

 Chen Yulou saw the green flag fluttering in the wind at a glance, with a cow horn pattern on the flag.

 Sure enough.

 Do you really think you are the emperor?

 The former Qing Dynasty fell for several years.

not to mention.

 The Tusi Mansion will truly exist in name only.

Let alone Zuo Yuanhai, what if this generation of chieftains comes here?

 Those who are cultivating immortals are going against nature.

Especially in the past few years, with wars and natural disasters all over the land, the number of refugees gathered in Chenjiazhuang is not just a few hundred, but also countless living people.

 After the Republic of China.

 Chen Yulou nodded.

 Although it has been a long time.

 He really missed the Miao village flavor.

The cavalry team headed straight outside the restaurant. There was such a big commotion in the city, so naturally it couldn't be hidden from the boss's eyes, so he had already come out to welcome it.

only…

 He has been doing business in Nanjian City for many years.

 I can't figure out the origin of this group of people.

If there were one or two merchants, he would politely decline. There was no need to risk offending the chieftain's government just for that penny and a half.

 In the final analysis, they are just making a living on Zuo's territory and living under others' roofs. Whether they live or die is a matter of just a word from the Third Young Master.

 But.

At a glance, there were fifty or sixty people, all wearing bright clothes and angry horses, with aloof temperaments.

 At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.

He looked at countless people, his eyes were more poisonous than snakes, and all the horses were divine colts.

 It is infinitely better than the Third Young Master's horse.

These days, it's not the average person who can afford to keep a horse.

 What's more, there is one person and one horse, or even one person and two horses.

I'm afraid even the chieftain's government wouldn't have the courage.

The wealth of Po Tian is right in front of the door. Whether to accept it or not, the boss made an instant decision in his mind.

“Hurry up, please come inside. It's really a great honor for all of you distinguished guests to come to our shop.”

 Although he is a Miao person.

 But the boss speaks Chinese very well.

 He invited the group of people into the store with a smile on his face.

 “Boss, our horse…”

Hong girl reminded me.

The boss reacted immediately and said with a smile, "Don't worry, girl, I'll have someone take her to the backyard, feed her with good concentrate, and give her a good scrub."

"good."

Hong girl nodded.

 This is how business should be done.

 They number fifty or sixty, and they are definitely big customers.

 Invite everyone to the second floor respectfully.

Seeing that he was on the road like this, Chen Yulou and others would naturally not be stingy. Not only did they gain a lot from this trip, they had to gallop all the way in the afternoon, and they must eat and drink enough.

 I immediately ordered a large table of dishes.

 No more than that.

 What makes the boss strange is that.

These guests seem to have a taboo on alcohol.

Even if he offered to send some jars of old wine, they refused.

How could he have imagined that the group of people were not jealous of alcohol, but simply drank too much in Maluzhai during this period, and now they were shaking when they smelled the alcohol.

"Okay, everyone, wait a moment, I'm going to serve the food now."

 Going downstairs with a smile.

 The boss hired a smart guy and asked him to watch outside the door.

 In case someone comes from Tuxian County.

 He can also make preparations in advance.

but.

　　Until the dishes were served, there was no movement anywhere in the city, which made him murmur in his heart.

You must know that the soldiers in the Tusi Mansion are like wolves and tigers. As long as there is oil and water to squeeze, they would like to skin people, cramp them, and then tear apart the bones.

This group of people ignored the rules set by the Third Young Master.

 Horses galloping wildly in the city.

With their ears and eyes, they shouldn't have been unable to respond for so long.

 “Old...boss.”

Leaning in front of the counter, the boss glanced at the stairs from time to time, and could still faintly hear the sounds of the guests talking and laughing.

 While he was puzzled.

 Suddenly a panting voice came from outside the counter.

 It was the guy who was sent out.

 “I'm not asking you to stare at…”

The boss looked unkind and scolded him when he opened his mouth. However, seeing the unconcealed horror on the waiter's face, he reacted immediately and swallowed hard, "Here?"

The guy nodded like a pound of garlic.

 The boss's face suddenly turned ugly.

 Taking a deep breath, he was about to go upstairs to remind him.

 But before he had taken a few steps, the man's voice sounded from behind him again.

“Boss, wait a minute, it doesn't seem like you're here for the guests.”

"How to say?"

 The boss stopped for a moment.

 “Just...a man came.”

"one?"

At this time, the boss was also a little confused.

The best thing that those gangs of soldiers are good at is bullying the weak, bullying the weak with more people, and using the name of the chieftain's government to show off their power in the city all day long.

 If it's really for the guests upstairs.

 By their virtue.

That will definitely be dispatched in full force.

"I gonna go see."

After hesitating for a moment, the boss was still worried and turned around and walked towards the door.

Not long after, a familiar figure broke into sight.

 “Lord Kegu…”

 He knows all the soldiers in Tuxian County.

At this moment, you can spot people at a glance.

However, he seemed a little strange today. His face was expressionless, his eyes were empty, and he was holding a scroll tightly with both hands.

 I don't know if it's a painting or something else.

This group of people is greedy to the core, ruthless and ruthless, with no one to blame. If you meet them in the city on weekdays, you will either stay away from them. If you can't avoid them, you have to go up and see them.

Although he is just a low-level soldier.

  But for them, they are also unattainable figures.

Thinking of this, a smile quickly appeared on his face and he bent down to salute.

 After all, you can't hit someone with a smiling face. He knows this well after spending many years in the city.

 But the strange thing is.

There was no response this time.

The boss couldn't help but raise his head, only to find that Kegu had already walked away and headed straight to the second floor.

 “Bad thing…”

Seeing this situation, the boss's heart suddenly pounded.

How dare you delay?

　　quickly pursued him.

But the figure in front was very fast and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye. When he caught up with him at the stairs, he didn't even bother to breathe, thinking of rushing forward to say something nice.

only…

 That shocked him.

Kegu, who was usually domineering and domineering, was now as meek and humble as a lamb.

Standing respectfully in front of the man in green shirt.

Hands raised.

　　Hand over the scroll.

Seeing this scene, the boss was filled with astonishment, which was even more unbelievable than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

 “Boss, I want another piece of fish in sour soup.”

Just when his heart was beating like a drum and his mind was in chaos, a calm voice suddenly came to his ears.

 Look up.

 A figure as tall as a mountain appeared in front of him at some point.

　　Just enough to cover his sight.

"Yes...yes, I'll go right away." Although Kunlun looked calm, the overwhelming aura exuding from his body made him breathless.

The boss doesn't dare to think too much, just go downstairs quickly.

“Sir, this is the map kept by the county government.”

 “Okay, well done.”

 Chen Yulou opened the map casually.

As expected of the Zuo family chieftain who has been in charge of West Yunnan Road for 500 years, his control over this place is truly astonishing.

Even the remote mountains and old forests that are inaccessible are mapped out in detail.

“Go down, don't look back when you're out the door, just count thirty times silently.”

This map is definitely an unexpected surprise.

Chen Yulou nodded with satisfaction and gave instructions casually.

 “Yes, my lord.”

Kegu is still immersed in a daze.

 Just nodded subconsciously.

 Turn around and go downstairs.

 Under the confused eyes of the restaurant owner and other waiters, he walked straight through the lobby and out of the door.

He is still muttering something in his mouth.

 If you get closer.

 You will hear numbers like eleven and twelve.

"Twenty-nine."

"thirty."

　　Boom!

 The last number has just fallen.

There was a thunderous, buzzing sound in Kegu's mind. The next moment, the picture in front of him flashed, and the trance disappeared, becoming extremely clear.

only…

 Looking at the people coming and going on the long street.

The faces that are in awe and fear of themselves.

 His expression became even more confused.

Isn't it your turn to guard the door today? Why did you come here?

　　Grabbing his head, Kegu looked hesitant and had no idea what was going on.

 “Forget it, I can't remember.”

 “It's better to go back to bed first.”

Shaking his head, Kegu didn't think much, identified the direction, and then rushed out of the city gate.

 The second floor of the restaurant.

 Seeing the scene downstairs through the window.

 The Xiling bandits were even more surprised, and looked at Chen Yulou with even more awe.

 The shopkeeper's methods are becoming more and more unpredictable.

They are only regarded as foreign methods such as Miao Village Gu Master and Chenzhou Taoist.

 But at this moment, Partridge Whistle has already vaguely seen some clues.

 This is definitely not a category that Alchemy can reach.

He has also heard of the soul-stirring round light demon technique. The person who is subjected to this technique loses his mind and his mind is confused, and in the end can only end up as a fool.

　These three people are in front and behind.

 Just missing memory.

 There is almost no difference from ordinary people.

 The control over the mind is already minute.

The most frightening thing is that Chen Yulou did not cover up during the whole process. He was observing carefully, but he didn't even know when the technique would start or when it would be resolved.

 He was far from being able to do this before coming.

 Just a trip to Zhelong Mountain.

Looking at him again, he looked more and more like Yue Linyuan, hard to fathom.

 I thought I would practice practice all the time and I didn't dare to delay for even half a day.

In just two months, from crossing the Dragon Gate for the first time, barely breaking the Qi refining barrier, to now successfully cultivating Qi, the progress has been extremely amazing.

　　But I didn't expect it.

 “Brother Dao…”

Chen Yulou didn't notice anything strange about him.

 At this moment, his attention was entirely on the map.

 After careful comparison, I have already planned several routes in my mind.

 Hello.

Not only the Partridge Whistle, but also Hua Ling, Red Girl, Old Foreigner, and Kunlun all gathered around.

“Now we can either take the mountain road, cross the Zixi Mountains, arrive at Lucheng, and then go to Xianren Lake.”

“The second road is to continue the waterway, along the Lishe River, into the Lvzhi River, all the way north, through the Donghe River into Dianchi Lake, and finally reach Xianren Lake.”

 Hand your finger across the map.

 Chen Yulou briefly explained the two routes.

The mountain road is difficult to travel, and most of it passes through vast and endless virgin mountain forests, where no one is allowed to go. However, it does not need to be too detoured, which can save a considerable amount of time.

 As for waterways.

 When they came, they sailed on the river.

 It took almost a full month to get from Xiangxi to Nanjian, which was too long.

 “Let's go to the mountain road.”

Partridge Whistle thought for a moment.

 Give your own answer.

Mountain movers have been roaming the mountains since ancient times. No matter how big the mountains and rivers are, they can traverse them with just two feet.

Now that one person and two horses can conquer the vast world, where can't he reach it?

 Chen Yulou nodded.

 The Partridge Whistle's answer was what he expected.

 “Where are Honggu and Kunlun, what do you think?”

 “Of course I will listen to you, the shopkeeper.”

The red girl smiled.

Kunlun on the side echoed with the sound of an urn.

 “In that case, let's take the mountain road.”

 Putting the roll of maps in his hand back into the waterproof leather bag, he handed it to Kunlun.

 The route is determined.

The group did not waste any time, quickly filled their stomachs, and asked the restaurant owner to help purchase a batch of dry food.

 When walking on a mountain road, the difficulty and danger of the road are secondary.

  The rations for dozens of people are the key.

 Many times, there is not a single family or village within a hundred or ten miles, and even if there is, most of them are natives who cannot understand the language and are extremely hostile and wary of outsiders.

 It is as difficult as going to the sky to get supplies.

so.

Take this opportunity.

 Get ready for half a month in one go.

 The reason for this was simply to prepare for a rainy day, but it shocked the restaurant owner quite a bit.

 This is a small place in Nanjian City.

Have you ever seen such a big family before?

 Spent money like water.

Of course, because he helped with these things, he also made a lot of profits from it, and he smiled so hard that his mouth never closed.

 When a group of people mount their horses and prepare to leave the city.

 The shopkeeper wanted to send him ten miles away.

This one business trip almost earned him several months or even half a year's worth of money.

 Fortunately, I didn't refuse before.

 Otherwise, how could such a man with such great wealth and honor get his turn?

 The only thing that puzzled him was that the Han people usually came here to sell salt, tea, iron, etc. Instead of doing business, these people spent a lot of money.

 Let him wander around the world for many years.

　　　I can't figure it out even if I break my head.

As for the scene he saw when he went upstairs earlier, he is a smart man and knows well that he cannot talk nonsense, so he naturally plans to keep everything in his stomach.

 He is just a low-level citizen doing business.

　No one can afford to offend either side.

 Just pretend you don't know anything. Only if you are confused can you live longer.

Wait until you get out of the city.

Chen Yulou glanced at the base of the city wall. Kegu and the other three were curled up in a ball and sleeping unconsciously.

 “Let's go, we must at least reach Longtan Mountain before sunset.”

 Ignore it.

Chen Yulou waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

 Longtan Mountain is less than a hundred miles away from here.

 On normal days, if there are dragon colts and war horses, it will not be a problem to travel hundreds of kilometers a day.

but.

At this moment, I look across the Red River to the east.

As far as the eye can see, the entire world is filled with vast green mountains and dense forests.

 Hundred or ten miles is probably barely enough.

 But Longtan Mountain is the nearest inhabited place.

 If possible, it would be best to stay there for the night.

 Otherwise, when night falls, demons will run rampant, ghosts will revive, and there will be many dangers.

 In the blink of an eye.

 Several hours passed.

The scorching sun above our heads gradually sets in the west and sets down the mountain.

The sky is filled with fire and clouds, reflecting the mountains and forests in red, like a golden crow fire nest.

“Sir, how far is it from Longtan Mountain?”

The red girl was wearing a red dress and was floating on the horse. Seeing that it was getting dark, she couldn't help but show a trace of worry on her face.

 It's not that I'm worried about night blindness, guys.

 But when traveling at night, it is easy to startle the horse.

　　Especially in such deep mountains, where jackals are watching, tigers and leopards are waiting around, and a beast's roar startles the horses, which is more terrifying than the roar of the camp.

 “It should be soon.”

Chen Yulou has already seen the map.

Longtan Mountain is a stone peak with a secluded pool at the foot of the mountain, hence its name.

 Mark according to the map.

 It should be not far from here.

 But I don't know why I haven't seen him yet.

 “Yuan Hong, Kunlun.”

“The two of you form a team and go ahead to explore the front, but don't go too far, just within three to five miles at most.”

"yes!"

Yuan Hong belongs to the genus of ape and is born in the mountains and forests.

 After fusing the remains of the mandrill, his strength increased greatly.

 As long as you don't encounter a big demon that has condensed demon pills, you can easily deal with it.

As for Kunlun, once you enter the mountains and forests, it is like a dragon returning to the sea.

 With the two of them exploring the road, at least they were in peace.

　　 responded.

The two of them rode horses and quickly headed east.

only.

 Having only gone a mile or two.

Yuan Hong seemed to have noticed something. He reined in his horse and stopped, looking solemnly at the dense forest ahead.

 Seeing its strangeness, Kunlun didn't know what was going on.

But he pulled out the halberd with a flick of his tongue and held it in his hand, with blood all over his body.

 A pair of amber eyes stared attentively for a moment.

 All I could see was the misty forest.

An ancient city stands faintly.

The evil spirit in the city soared into the sky, making Yuan Hong unable to help but feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, with his hair standing on end.

"Kunlun, go back...inform the master that we may have hit a ghost town."
