Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 142
The owner of the ship entered the cabin, presented fine wine and fresh fruit, and then withdrew.

Fei Qingquan overlooked the river, and continued: "Sometimes, I feel that Lucheng is my home. In the past 30 years, I have worked with several county magistrates and county lieutenants, and watched Lucheng from being ravaged by evil spirits. Little by little, the barren town has become what it is today.
But today, I really want to go back to my hometown and see the pear blossoms in full bloom."

On the river, a gorgeous fast boat surpassed the painting boat, and there was a burst of laughter from young men and women on it.

It was the boat that the children of the Lan family were on. They seemed to be playing some interesting game. They tied the legs of several slaves with ropes, threw them into the river, and were dragged forward slowly by the boat.

"Zhang Yuqing." Fei Qingquan said.

"Look at those people, they are used to being superior, and they no longer regard ordinary people as human beings. Don't learn from them in the future."

Zhang Yuqing glanced at Fei Qingquan in surprise, this old man was very strange today.

When the boat crossed the Xuan River, the sun had already set behind the mountain.

Cai Xing, the county magistrate, brought a group of officials to greet him, and later there was a reception banquet for the officials of Weiye County.

Fei Qingquan wanted to return to guard the bronze coffin, so he left with Xia Mingxuan who came to greet him.

Zhang Yuqing and the children of the Lan family were dragged to the banquet by a group of officials, and they frequently chatted and drank together, which was a great joy.

After the banquet was over, the moon hung high and the night was dark.

Lan Xuan came to Zhang Yuqing with a sparkle in her eyes: "Zhang Butou, some cousins ​​and I want to play by the Xuan River. I wonder if Zhang Butou can introduce us to the beautiful scenery of Lucheng?"

Zhang Yuqing looked behind Lan Xuan, and sure enough, he saw several children of the Lan family waiting.It's just that they looked arrogant, as if they didn't like this proposal very much.

Although I don't know why Lan Xuan invited her to go out at night, Zhang Yuqing doesn't care.At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the so-called descendants of the family.

Immediately Zhang Yuqing smiled and said: "Miss Lan invites you, how dare Zhang Yuqing refuse?"

So Zhang Yuqing got into Lan Xuan's carriage, and several carriages began to gallop through the streets, leading dozens of slaves towards the outskirts of the city.

After nightfall, the gates of the city had already been closed, but with Zhang Yuqing around, all this was not a problem.

On the banks of Xuanhe River, the sound of surging water can be heard endlessly.

The path is deep and the willows are drooping, and there is already no passerby.

Zhang Yuqing and a group of Lan family children got out of the carriage and walked leisurely along the path, with the slaves obediently following behind.

This gang of Lan family teenagers seems to be headed by Lan Xuan. Lan Xuan doesn't speak, and they are all silent.

Walked forward for a while, away from the city.Looking back at Lucheng from here, you can see its deep and tall silhouette in the night.

Lan Xuan finally said, "This Lucheng is far more prosperous and fun than Yecheng. It's a pity that it was not awarded to the Lan family. Otherwise, I would like to live here forever."

Zhang Yuqing said with a smile: "Now Ye County has become Dong Chongjun's fiefdom, and it is only a river away from Lucheng. If Miss Lan is free in the future, she will come more often. I will definitely entertain you."

Lan Xuan covered her mouth and smiled: "Catcher Zhang really knows how to joke. After tomorrow night, I'm afraid there will be no one in Lucheng. Then why should I come to the barren land?"

Zhang Yuqing frowned, and asked, "What does Miss Lan mean?"

"It seems that Fei Qingquan didn't report the news to Zhang Butou." Lan Xuan said with a smile.

"But it doesn't matter much. Since Zhang Tutou has a blood lineage, he is naturally different from those untouchables. To be honest, the little girl has always admired Zhang Tutou."

Zhang Yuqing's brows are still furrowed, things seem to have begun to exceed his imagination
I only heard Lan Xuan continue to say: "Now that our Lan family's fiefdom is expanding again, we are short of talents. The little girl is also assigned to manage a city. I really hope that Chief Zhang can come to help me."

Just as he was speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from the night sky.

A white robe floats slowly from the crown of the willow tree, from far to near.

Night patrol government office, in the main hall.

Fei Qingquan staggered and came to the bronze coffin.

The icy luster emanating from the bronze coffin is full of strange and unknown mysteries.

After Fei Qingquan stood still, he quietly stared at the bronze coffin, holding a piece of black ointment in his hand.

In the Hebo Temple, Lord Dong Chong confessed many things, one of which was this balm.

Ignite the balm of death, and the things in the coffin can continue to sleep, and wait until the arrival of tomorrow night.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know."

Fei Qingquan murmured to the bronze coffin, but his old expression was a bit ferocious: "They want to destroy Lucheng, don't make it easy for them!"

After finishing speaking, Fei Qingquan turned and left, his body seemed to be bent a lot.

That piece of balm was never ignited from the beginning to the end.

Xuanhe River.

Zhang Yuqing was still on guard all over, he could feel that this evil spirit that came suddenly was not so easy to deal with.

He didn't make a move easily, but stood back slightly, staring secretly at the Lan family's children.

He really wanted to know how this group of people with blood inheritance dealt with evil spirits.

However, Lan Xuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zuo Jie, you are finally here. Tomorrow night we are arranged to act together, you have to cooperate more."

Zhang Yuqing was startled, and secretly looked at Lan Xuan.

The relationship between these Lan family children and that evil creature seemed to be different from what I had imagined.

At this time, the white robe had already flown close, like a big white butterfly, circling around those slaves.

Its face was thickly powdered and terribly white.But the lips were dyed bright red, the eyeliner was drawn extremely high, the skin under the cap was bald, and there seemed to be no hair.

From the appearance, it is difficult to tell the male and female of this evil creature called Zuo Jie.

Zuo Jie laughed sharply while flying around the slave.

The slaves were trained not to run away even though they were trembling with fear.

Lan Xuan crossed her hands: "Do you like it? Then they will be yours, but tomorrow night, I will choose the same number of slaves from your share."

Zuo Jie's scarlet eyes never left those slaves, and he didn't know if he heard Lan Xuan's words clearly, and said, "Yes, yes!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Jie jumped towards the group of slaves.

In an instant, there were bursts of screams by the river.

The thick blood, wandering around along the night wind.

A group of children from the Lan family watched all this with great interest, as if they were watching a program of slaughtering livestock.

Zhang Yuqing's heart was getting colder and colder. In the past, he had only met Lu Junsheng and Fei Qingquan who had blood inheritance. It seemed that they were no different from ordinary people except for their formidable strength.

But the children of these aristocratic families in front of them are no different from Xie Chong.

He once thought that the royal family and the evil spirits were natural enemies.

But now it seems that they have long been in collusion.

The bloody massacre finally came to an end, the blood continued to spread along the ground, and flowed to Zhang Yuqing's feet, soaking his shoes.

Zuo Jie's white robe was already drenched with blood.

It danced in the air excitedly, and kept calling out: "It's delicious! It's delicious! I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Jie flew towards the darkness in the distance, and his bright red robe was hidden in the night.

Lan Xuan came to Zhang Yuqing and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang, in the area under my jurisdiction, the guard guarding the slaves happens to be short of a leader.

Anyway, after tomorrow night, you have nowhere to go, why don't you help me?
To be honest, I am the strength of the third level of Mu Jing, and I will soon break through to the third level of the middle level. You are a person of the first level of Mu Jing, and I treat you well. "

Zhang Yuqing lowered his eyes, thinking quickly in his mind.

No wonder Fei Qingquan looked so out of his mind today, Zhang Yuqing realized at this moment that it was completely a kind of despondency after despair, what a serious situation he was facing to make Fei Qingquan despair like that.

It's no wonder that Lu Junsheng said that to himself in the manor. It seems that Lu Cheng is really in trouble.

"Think about it!"

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuqing got up from bed.

After going out, the people on the street are still bustling with people, and life looks calm and peaceful.

Who knows, the disaster is slowly approaching.

Zhang Yuqing learned a lot from Lan Xuan last night.

Tonight, there will be a fierce battle in Lucheng.

King Xue paid a lot of money to invite Wuguidao, Shi Shendao and Dong Chongjun to cooperate with Changmo Jun to deal with a terrifying enemy.

And the so-called big price is the population.

Only population is the real hard currency in this world.

After the battle, the population of Lucheng will be returned to the corpse god.

Naturally, the evil spirits of Shi Shen Dao will not manage the people like the government. What they do can only be...
Zhang Yuqing shook his head secretly. With his current strength, he would definitely not be spared in the hands of Shi Shendao.

It seems that agreeing to Lan Xuan's solicitation seems like a wise choice.

"Captain of the guard. Keeper of the slaves."

With a lot of thoughts, Zhang Yuqing still came to the county government office.

After entering the county government office, a government servant came to report, and Xia Mingxuan was already waiting.

Zhang Yuqing was slightly surprised that Xia Mingxuan rarely came to the county government regardless of personnel matters.

He came to the living room, and saw Xia Mingxuan with a haggard face.

"Master Star Supervisor went last night." Xia Mingxuan sat on the chair and said in a daze. "He took his own life, and I was right in front of him at the time, watching it with my own eyes, but I couldn't stop it."

Zhang Yuqing was stunned, the most authoritative mainstay in Lucheng committed suicide just like that.
He didn't expect such a result at all.

"Why did he do this?" Zhang Yuqing stepped forward and asked.

Xia Mingxuan leaned on the chair wearily, and shook his head: "Your Excellency didn't say much, he told me his last words. The superiors sent additional troops to block the access roads of Lucheng and Weixian County, and let us find a way to escape westward today."

Zhang Yuqing was silent.

He recalled the words of Fei Qingquan on the boat when he returned from Ye County yesterday.At that time, I didn't hear the implication. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that at that time, Fei Qingquan already had the will to die.

Xia Mingxuan stood up from the chair and straightened his uniform: "I will not escape! From the day I joined the night patrol, I made an oath to protect the people of Lucheng and eradicate evil spirits!"

After a pause, Xia Mingxuan said to Zhang Yuqing again: "Time is running out. Your Excellency's funeral will be held in two hours. If you have time, come and see it."

After speaking, Xia Mingxuan left the county office.

In the living room, Zhang Yuqing was the only one left.

He sat quietly for a while, until a yamen servant came to report:

"Zhang Butou, there is a scholar outside the county government asking to see him. He calls himself Lu Junsheng, and says he is Zhang Butou's friend of yours."

"Let him in."

The yamen servant was ordered to resign, and after a while, he came with Lu Junsheng.

Lu Junsheng still had an elegant demeanor, but his handsome face was also full of sadness.

"Brother Zhang, Junsheng has something to ask!" As soon as they met, Lu Junsheng went straight to the point.

Zhang Yuqing leaned on the chair, stared at Lu Junsheng for a while, and said, "Brother Lu, you don't know, I've already joined the Lan family."

Lu Junsheng was taken aback, and looked at Zhang Yuqing in disbelief.

Zhang Yuqing's words blocked all the words behind him.

What surprised him even more was that he always thought that Zhang Yuqing was someone with the same ambitions as himself.

But looking at it now, Lu Junsheng only felt that he was wrong.

He couldn't help looking at Zhang Yuqing resentfully, and asked in a cold voice: "Zhang Yuqing, you actually joined the Lan family! You know that the Lan family doesn't have the ancestral temple artifact, but why is it still ranked as the emperor?

Their Lan family came from the northern country, and they moved to Xue country after the ancestral temple was destroyed.Relying on sorcery to imprison powerful evil spirits and draw power from them to avoid the decline of inheritance power, but this sorcery requires a steady stream of living people to nourish evil spirits!It can be said that the Lan family is far more evil than ordinary families! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yuqing remained unmoved: "So what? I just want to live. After joining the Lan family, I can live better!"

Lu Junsheng's chest heaved violently due to anger, and he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang, you don't know yet, I, Lu Junsheng, are going to fight the Lan family tonight! Since you want to be the lackey of the Lan family, you might as well inform the Lan family at this time." People from my family came to kill me! It happens to be able to let Brother Zhang claim the credit!"

Zhang Yuqing sneered twice and said: "Brother Lu, you really dare to say anything, just remember our friends, I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now, you can go."

When Lu Junsheng heard this, his eyes softened a little.

He felt that Zhang Yuqing was not that bad.

After a pause, Lu Junsheng said slowly: "Brother Zhang just wants to survive. I hope I told Brother Zhang that it is on Xuanhe Waterway! If Brother Zhang is still hesitant, then we might as well make a deal. Zhang Brother, do me a favor, and Junsheng will thank you very much."

"Thank you very much." Zhang Yuqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your piece of moon-shaped jade?"

Lu Junsheng shook his head: "Junsheng can guarantee the integrity of the secret cultivation techniques of the Yan family in Chu State, and there is nothing missing."

"Yan family?" Zhang Yuqing pondered for a while, "You got it from Yan Gudao?"

Lu Junsheng nodded: "That's right, and I want Brother Zhang to help, for Brother Zhang, it's easy as pie."

A complete set of cultivation secret techniques of the Gong clan is undoubtedly the best document to understand these people with the power of inheritance.

He still doesn't know anything about the fighting methods of the children of the public family. If he obtains this set of secret techniques, it will undoubtedly give Zhang Yuqing a clearer understanding of the world, and perhaps he will be able to find the method of attracting spiritual energy.
