Chapter 7 Evil Cultivation
At the gate of Feishi County, three carriages from different directions gathered together, and the city gate had quietly opened at this time. The guard was the county magistrate. Although he was curious about the people among the three carriages, he did not dare to take care of the transfer orders covered with the county magistrate's private seal, so he directly put the three carriages out of the city.
After leaving the city gate and walking ten miles forward, there was a pavilion here, which was built by Zhang Zhizhong, the county magistrate of this county, when he took office. Here, three carriages stopped and three people walked out of them. After a closer look, they were not Zhang Zhizhong, Zhao County Weiwei and Captain Qian? The follower coachman followed behind the three, and six people gathered together. Zhang Zhizhong glanced at everyone and said with a deep feeling: "The things are ready."
Captain Qian nodded and took a large gift box from his subordinate behind him. When he opened it, he found that it was the 300-year-old ginseng in Tongrentang. Everyone circulated it and saw that its root was like a human figure, its limbs were all made of, and it looked like a little old man. He couldn't help but nod and praised it. Finally, Zhang Zhizhong got the ginseng and gave the ginseng and the gift box to the entourage beside him.
Everyone saw Zhang Zhizhong handing over the ginseng to the servant beside him, and was about to go back to the carriage, but Captain Qian suddenly felt that the servant looked familiar. Captain Qian had been in charge of the case for many years and was best at finding clues in subtle areas. Seeing that the servant was a little familiar, he immediately recalled and glanced at Zhang Zhizhong next to him, and suddenly realized it and shouted: "No! County Magistrate Zhang, is this Mr. Ling?"
Captain Qian's exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention. When Zhao County Wei looked carefully, wasn't it Zhang Zhiping, the son of Zhang Zhizhong? Zhao County Wei frowned and said unhappily: "Mr. Zhang, what's going on?"
Zhang Zhi cursed in the center, why didn’t you see you so frankly when handling cases? But he quickly smiled and said, “This is the dog son Zhang Zhiping. The dog son always admires the immortals. He heard that Taoist Li is a god, so he wants to visit them together. I will take him by his side as a servant, so everyone doesn’t have to care. Zhiping, I have said that you, Uncle Qian, are you sure you can’t escape. Now you have been discovered! Don’t come out to pay homage to you, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Qian?”
Zhang Zhiping immediately came out, bowed to the two of them and said, "My nephew Zhang Zhiping, I have met Uncle Zhao and Uncle Qian."
Captain Qian watched coldly and said, "My dear nephew has such a profound cultivation level. I'm afraid he has a first-class realm now."
Zhang Zhiping remained silent, and Zhang Zhizhong hurriedly said, "The dog son is a rude, which makes the two laugh."
At this time, Zhao County Wei suddenly spoke: "I'm afraid my nephew doesn't just want to go and have a look, but also want to become a disciple!"
Seeing that they could not hide it from the two of them, Zhang Zhizhong immediately said, "If the dog has this immortal fate, it would be the best to be able to worship Master Li as his teacher."
The two of them were dissatisfied when they heard this. County Magistrate Zhao took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is inconsistent with what we discussed before. Moreover, if it rashly proposes to become a disciple at this time, if it makes Dao Zheng angry, it is not something we can bear!"
The cultivators deal with difficult tasks for the court all year round, and the officials of the court have heard of it. They all know that the rulers of this world are high-ranking cultivators. If they make the cultivators angry, let alone a small county magistrate, even those royal relatives cannot get it. What's more, the cultivators have great power over themselves and start killing in anger. No one can stop them.
Zhang Zhizhong naturally understood this truth, so he immediately said: "Of course, it won't make the two brothers embarrassed. I just wait for Zhiping to come and present a gift. If Master Li likes Quaner and says that Quaner is good, please ask two people to help him. If Master Li doesn't like Quaner, he doesn't have to speak, just pretend that there is no such thing. Whether this matter is done or not, he should owe you a favor."
It turned out that Zhang Zhizhong was fighting for this idea. Zhao County Wei and Captain Qian were upset in his heart and did not let the juniors in the family follow him. However, after this, they could only give Zhang Zhizhong a discount. The two pondered for a moment, thinking that it would be good to be a favor and sell Zhang Zhizhong to one of them, so they nodded reluctantly and said, "It's already here, so let's do it. But the ugly words are ahead. If the nephew makes Dao Zheng angry, we will have to separate the relationship!" Zhao County Wei was still a little worried and finally warned Zhang Zhiping.
Zhang Zhizhong hurriedly said, "Natural, natural." Zhang Zhiping, who was standing beside him, also saluted again: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Qian, if your nephew is lucky enough to accept Master Li as his teacher, he will definitely not forget the kindness of both of you."
Seeing this, the two nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to their respective carriages. Master Li was near Yingzui Mountain, so everyone walked all the way and soon arrived at the foot of Yingzui Mountain. Everyone got out of the car and saw Captain Qian take out a talisman from his body and said, "Master Li said that as long as he lit this talisman, he could sense where we were. This is really a magic trick." After sighing for a while, he took out the fire note and ignited the talisman. In the blink of an eye, the talisman was burned completely.
There are 300 bandits in Feiying Village, Yingzui Mountain. Because they have been passed down for a hundred years, the bandits have settled their homes here and married and had children with the stolen women. So there are thousands of people in Feiying Village. But at this time, the huge Feiying Village was extremely quiet. The gate was dilapidated and the house collapsed. There were layers of dry dark red blood on it. From time to time, a gloomy laughter came from the village, and a little ghost fire appeared in the sky. A mountain wind blew, and it seemed that I could smell something. A large number of ghost fires suddenly appeared, covering the village with a layer of dark green.
The hall of Feiying Village was extremely spacious. It could accommodate all the old and young people in the village to gather here, but it was actually filled. After a closer look, the hall was filled with a mountain of corpses. At the top of the mountain, there was a skeleton seat, with a man in black robe sitting here, and countless ghost fires gathered here, and then it was swallowed by this person in one mouthful, making a "hehehehe" ghost laugh. Suddenly, his nose moved slightly, and another ghost laughter came out, and he said to himself: "There is actually the smell of a stranger. Hehehe, baby, your food is here!" As the sound disappeared, the man in black robe sitting on the skeleton seat suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, Li Zhenchang, who had been paying attention to Feiying Village, suddenly felt the man in black robe leaving, and was immediately delighted. Then he felt that the talisman he sent yesterday sent out a signal, which was at the foot of Yingzui Mountain. Li Zhenchang immediately understood the reason why the man in black robe left. He couldn't help but feel tight and hurriedly ran down the mountain, hoping to catch up with the man in black robe.
But Li Zhenchang didn't know that among the evil practices of the man in black robe, there was a spell called Five Ghosts Transportation, which could use the power of the five Ghosts to fly briefly in the air, and the speed was extremely fast, and he could not catch up with him in a short time. Before he was halfway up the mountain, the man in black robe had already flew to the foot of the mountain.
Li Zhenchang had arrived at Yingzui Mountain yesterday. After seeing Captain Qian during the day, he began to go up the mountain to investigate the situation. Through the spiritual eye technique, he found that there was only one stranger in the mountain village, and his cultivation level was only in the early stage of Qi Refining. With his peak in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he could easily kill him. However, the Yin Qi in the village was rich. From a distance, the corpse energy in the hall was filled with great heat, which made him a little scared. Li Zhenchang thought that this must be someone practicing some evil magic. If he forcibly breaks into it, even if he can defeat the opponent, he may end up being hurt by the opponent using any evil magic.
He is now 63 years old. It would be bad if he delayed his practice due to injury. So he used the breath-catching technique to hide near the mountain village, waiting for the people in the village to leave the mountain village. He had already seen that the people in the village should have obtained a random cultivator, otherwise he would not have refined the evil method so blatantly. Sure enough, the people in the village did not find Li Zhenchang who was close to him, but the three people in Feishi County wanted to visit Li Zhenchang late at night, but by chance, they led the man in the black robe out.
The people at the foot of the mountain were waiting quietly with a solemn expression. The other two followers were the confidants of Zhao County Wei and Captain Qian. Although they didn't know what their parents came here to do, they just had to do their duty. So they were in the most relaxed mood and just waited down. The other four knew that they were visiting the legendary cultivator this time. Captain Qian had already met one side before, but the other three were very excited. If they had not been able to cultivate their energy for many years, they could still maintain their superficial peace.
The six people were waiting in different thoughts, but at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, making everyone tremble, even Zhang Zhiping, who had been invincible for cold and heat, was no exception. Then a ghost laugh came from all directions: "Hehehehe, are you waiting for me here?"
Before the rest could react, Captain Qian's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and shouted in horror: "No! It's the ghost on the mountain that has gone down the mountain!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and hurriedly looked around. Only then did they realize that at some point, the surroundings were surrounded by ghost fires. The waves of ghost laughter made people feel upset. After listening carefully, they couldn't tell where they came from.
The two followers had the worst character and could not stand this environment soon. They cried with a collapsed expression: "Ghost! Ghost!!!" They ran to the road in panic, but before they could run far, several black shadows passed through the two of them, and they fell to the ground. After a while, a creepy chewing sound came from behind.
Everyone quickly turned around and saw a man in black robe standing in front of everyone. Everyone could not see his face under his hat, but only a pair of dark green eyes staring at everyone's heart. There were a few black shadows next to the man in black robe as if they were constantly tearing something. There were bursts of screams in their ears, the sound was weak and unheard, but it seemed to penetrate deep into their souls to make everyone feel empathy.
Zhang Zhi was born as a Chinese and the weakest. He couldn't stand the pressure and collapsed to the ground, alarming Zhang Zhiping who was trembling next to him.
Zhang Zhiping was shocked when he saw his father who loved him, who had fallen to the ground in a mess, and anger appeared in his heart, which immediately dispelled the fear of the man in black robe. He hurriedly went over and helped Zhang Zhizhong up, transmitting his internal strength to help Zhang Zhizhong stabilize his mind, and asked, "Father, are you okay?"
After Zhang Zhizhong was supported by Zhang Zhiping's internal strength, he gradually took a breath, lay in Zhang Zhiping's ear, and whispered: "Run quickly, don't worry about me!"
Zhang Zhiping was moved when he heard this. At this moment, his mood gradually calmed down and said to his father: "No, I can't run away! Our only way to live now is Priest Li Zhen and Taoist Li."
