Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 176
Seeing that Zhang Yuqing didn't get angry, the Wu family's father and daughter became even more frightened, but they didn't dare to refuse. They could only sit at the table but didn't dare to move their chopsticks.

At the dinner table, Wang Tianba kept toasting Zhang Yuqing, completely ignoring Wu Tong.

The four children, Qian Luo, Li Siyan, Chen Yin and Ding Ze, kept whispering to Wu You.

The four children have clear grievances and grievances. Wu You took Li Siyan and Chen Yin out at night to help Ding Ze heal his injury and find medicine.So not only did the four children not blame her, but they also hoped to restore their friendship with her.

Especially Li Siyan and Chen Yin, not only serving food for Wu You, but also constantly saying good things about Wu You to Zhang Yuqing.

The night was getting darker, and the whole table was almost eaten.

Suddenly there was the sound of a carriage outside the house, but it was Cen Lei who had left first, driving a carriage carrying several large boxes.

Cen Lei entered the living room to inform Zhang Yuqing in a low voice, and then left.

Zhang Yuqing suddenly smiled and said to Wu You: "Wu You, you and my apprentices are good friends, after all, you still have to call me uncle."

Wu You raised her head and called out to Zhang Yuqing, "Uncle."

Zhang Yuqing nodded, then reached out and grabbed Wu You's arm: "Good boy, go with uncle, uncle will take you out to play."

With that said, Zhang Yuqing was about to pull Wu You outside.

Wang Tianba's face was strange for a while, but the four children still didn't understand what happened.

Only Wu Tong knelt down in front of Zhang Yuqing and begged: "Master Zhang Xiang, do me a favor, this rebellious species is still young, please let her go!"

Zhang Yuqing said coldly: "I'm going to let you go for once, don't make me go back on my word."

"This..." Wu Tong's face was ashen, but his heart began to be tangled.

If you can make Zhang Yuqing happy and save the lives of your whole family, then sacrifice your daughter.
But in this way, wouldn't he be inferior to a beast?How could he make up his mind.

Although Wu Youren is young, she is very sensible. She calmly said to Wu Tong: "Father, I'm fine. It doesn't matter. I'll be fine."

"Sorrow." Wu Tong looked at his daughter, tears kept falling.

He couldn't help but wanted to go forward and beg for mercy, but Wang Tianba jumped up at this moment and kicked him over, pointing at him fiercely and cursing.

Zhang Yuqing was already impatient, grabbed Wu You and walked outside.

Just came to the door, but met a woman, it was Yu Niang.

Yuniang has obviously dressed up carefully today, she is still wearing a white gauze dress, but it is completely different from the original one.

Her hair was neatly coiled, and she was decorated with a pearl necklace around her neck. The white light of the chaotic pearls made her skin whiter and greasy.After bathing, the body exudes a seductive aroma.

Yuniang didn't expect that Zhang Yuqing was about to go out, so she immediately saluted with a flattering smile: "Little girl has met Zhang Xiangzhu, and I'm here to make amends today, please—"

"No time." Zhang Yuqing said casually, pulled Wu You and walked towards the carriage.

Yuniang was taken aback for a moment, as if Zhang Yuqing had important matters to attend to.

This made Yuniang couldn't help feeling a little regretful, she came here on purpose to win Zhang Yuqing's favor tonight, unexpectedly the timing didn't seem right.

Today when Zhang Yuqing returned to Pengcheng, Yuniang was taken aback when the news came out. She was worried that if she took Zhang Yuqing's burden, she would be punished at the door, so she hurriedly found her master and explained everything to her.

After some analysis by the master and himself, he believed that Zhang Yuqing was able to survive from the claws of the tree demon. It was very likely that Zhang Yuqing was a child of a noble family who concealed his identity like Gong Liangyi, and it was worth spending a lot of effort to make friends.

Gong Liangyi's dislike of Yuniang is revealed on the surface, and it is inevitable that the gain outweighs the gain and even the opposite to please Gong Liangyi.

On the contrary, Zhang Yuqing did not have the indifference of looking down on mortals. Besides, in the son's ancestral hall that night, Yuniang felt that he seemed to be very moved by her appearance.

So once the master and apprentice combined, they not only returned Zhang Yuqing's treasures of heaven and earth, but also sent a set of them to the house.

And Yuniang personally came to the door to make amends tonight, hoping that after one night, the relationship with Zhang Yuqing could be improved a step further.

It's just that Zhang Yuqing not only went out on business, but also had a cold attitude
The sound of horseshoes sounded slowly, and Zhang Yuqing had already driven the carriage carrying the large wooden box slowly, and Wu You was sitting beside him.

The four-horse carriage headed out of the city along the deserted and empty streets at night.

After leaving the city, there are still many shops and gathering places around. As they drive towards the cold suburbs, the dots of lights gradually fade away behind them.

The moonlight was bright, illuminating the vast land with a faint light.

"Which way are you going?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Wu You was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Zhang Yuqing was asking herself where the accident happened last night.

Her petite body couldn't help trembling slightly, and her face became frightened: "Uncle, let's not go! There are ghosts there!"

Zhang Yuqing snorted coldly: "That evil spirit dares to provoke me, I think it wants to die again! If you are obedient, I can still forgive you."

Wu You was still afraid, but she still didn't dare to disobey Zhang Yuqing, she stretched out her finger and pointed in one direction: "Over there"

Zhang Yuqing pulled the reins, and drove the carriage towards the direction Wu You pointed.

From what he heard last night, Zhang Yuqing noticed a clue.

It is very rare that evil spirits do not harm people, and it is even rarer to selectively harm people.

I'm afraid that evil creature either has other plans for Wu You, or there are other secrets in the relationship.

In the wilderness, a tree with a crooked neck and a mud house finally appeared in sight.

Zhang Yuqing drove to the Crooked Neck Tree, tied up the horses, and led Wu You into the earthen house.

"Call it here." Zhang Yuqing ordered.

Wu You hesitated for a while, and finally cut off a strand of her own hair, and lit it with a torch.

The hair shrank and burned when touched by the flames, giving off a burnt smell.

Looking at Wu You in front of him, Zhang Yuqing wondered, "Using hair to summon evil spirits, what's the reason for this?"

As that strand of black hair was burned away, Zhang Yuqing left Wu You in the earthen house, came to the crooked neck tree by himself, looked into the distance of the wilderness, and searched in the darkness.

The night wind made the weeds jump wildly, time passed, and finally there was a glimmer of coldness in the dark night.

A green figure suddenly appeared in the darkness, she slowly walked towards the earthen house, with a faint voice: "Wu You, you came to see me again"

Zhang Yuqing looked at the figure quietly, with more doubts in his eyes.

A strand of hair actually summoned Xie Chong.

If he used flesh and blood to live people, he might be able to figure it out, but what about the hair?

And this evil spirit appeared out of nowhere, Zhang Yuqing wanted to search for its trace, but there was nowhere to be found.

But all evil spirits have their origins.

During the day, they hide in dark corners or in catacombs.

The appearance of this figure was completely invisible. She didn't come out of the ground or somewhere, but just popped up all of a sudden.

This reminded Zhang Yuqing of the teleportation array he had seen in Yangcheng.

The figure came closer to Zhang Yuqing. Her skinny and pale face was still stained with blood. Under her hair, which was scattered like haggard, a pair of eyes radiated bloodthirsty light, and her voice was full of resentment: "You are not Wu You! Where is Wu You? ?”

Zhang Yuqing gave the woman a cold look, then turned around and walked into the earthen house.

The woman stared at Zhang Yuqing's back with incomparable resentment, her mouth was slightly opened, revealing fine and sharp teeth, and a rancid smell also came out.

Following the woman, she raised her hand covered with blood-red nails and headed towards the house.

Wu You, who was inside the house, saw the woman enter, so frightened, he cowered in the corner and cried, "Don't come here! Don't come here!"

The woman looked at Wu You and said, "Wu You, don't be afraid. I'll save you, I won't let others hurt you"

As soon as the voice fell, the woman's eyes became fierce, and she suddenly let out a sharp cry, and rushed towards Zhang Yuqing on the other side of the room.

Zhang Yuqing looked at all this with great interest, and a flame burst out in his hand: "Interesting, it seems that I came here at the right time."

Then, Zhang Yuqing slapped the flame in his hand on the face of the woman who rushed forward.

The flames exploded on the woman's face, and sparks flew everywhere.

"what--!"

The woman let out a shrill scream and kept backing away. A lot of the flesh on her face was burned away by the flames, exposing the scorched bones. Some flames that hadn't been extinguished were still burning the flesh on her face, buzzing.

Zhang Yuqing took a step forward and said with a sneer, "You are so weak, yet you dare to act presumptuously in front of me."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuqing raised his flaming hand, and slammed it on the woman's head again.

The woman's head was bent to her shoulders, and the flames of femoral necrosis quickly burned a big hole in her head.

Her screams became more and more severe, and she waved her hands in an attempt to fight back.

But her strength is too weak, and she is only at the same level as the female ghosts Zhang Yuqing met in the Heshen Temple, and she is the lowest-end weak among the evil spirits.

So even if the woman fought back wildly, she couldn't hurt Zhang Yuqing at all. Instead, she was beaten weaker and weaker by Zhang Yuqing, and her body began to appear translucent.

This is also the result of Zhang Yuqing being merciful and deliberately controlling his own flames, otherwise how could such an evil spirit survive a trick under his hands.

"Oh!"

Zhang Yuqing knocked the woman to the ground again, the flames burned her arms, and the woman became weaker and more transparent, lying on the ground for a while, unable to move.

Seeing that the woman was unable to fight back for the time being, Zhang Yuqing smiled and said, "Can we have a proper talk now?"

The woman raised her head and roared at Zhang Yuqing with her face that was almost burned into a skeleton, extremely ferocious.

Zhang Yuqing shook his head helplessly: "If you hit again, you will be beaten to death. Maybe I should try another method."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuqing came to Wu You who was huddled in the corner in two steps, reached out to lift Wu You up, and then drew out a short knife and clamped it around Wu You's neck.

The ferocity on the woman's face faded instantly, and she shouted in horror: "Don't hurt Wu You!"

"You care so much about her? Xie Chong's desire for flesh and blood is irresistible. Do you think I should kill her? Or release her blood so that you can't control yourself and eat her?"

The woman's voice finally started to be frightened, and she kept shrinking back on the ground: "Don't hurt Wu You. I can't hurt her either. What do you want to do?"

Wu You was not afraid of being put on the neck with a knife, but he looked at the woman full of doubts.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuqing smiled: "It's been like this earlier, why do we have to get to this step of fighting and killing?"

With that said, Zhang Yuqing let go of Wu You, and he came to the woman and knelt down and said, "It's like this. I have a grudge against a person, but it's not convenient to kill him directly. It's best for you to do it, big sister. You You will definitely help me with this, right? For Wu You's sake."

The woman pinned her body with her only remaining hand, and stared at Zhang Yuqing resentfully: "There are night guards in the city. I am in this state. I can't help you."

"This is not a problem. I have already mastered the patrol route of the night patrol, and I have prepared some supplements for you. Wait a moment, and I will fetch them for you."

After speaking, Zhang Yuqing left the earthen house and walked towards the carriage carrying the large wooden box.

In the earthen house, only the woman and Wu You were left for a while.

Wu You's big eyes were full of fear, but she still approached the woman boldly: "Why did you try to save me? You could have escaped by yourself just now! Who are you and why are you so nice to me?"

The woman's eyes dodged a little: "Wu You, we are good friends."

"I don't believe it!" Wu You said loudly, "Who would treat me so well for no reason? Besides, you're a ghost! You didn't want to eat me last night, did you? You just wanted to protect me? Did we know each other before? "

The woman lowered her head: "Don't ask any more, don't ask any more!"

Wu You continued to step forward: "What's your name?"

The woman kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

Wu You stomped her feet anxiously: "You really said it!"

The woman remained silent.

But Zhang Yuqing returned at this time, holding four people tied up like crabs in his hands.

These four people were the remaining human traffickers from last night, today Zhang Yuqing ordered Cen Lei to lift them out of the prison, and put them into a large wooden box on the carriage, for use at this time.

Wu You trembled all over, thinking of a strange possibility: "Could it be that you are... my mother?"

The woman raised her head and looked at Wu You, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak in the end.

She turned her head to look at the four human traffickers who were constantly struggling in panic on the ground. Longing and bloodthirsty began to emerge in her eyes. She swallowed and said to Wu You: "Wu You, you go out."

Wu You, who was completely dazed, shuddered suddenly when he heard these words, as if he had thought of something terrible.

She raised her face and looked at Zhang Yuqing imploringly, but Zhang Yuqing pointed her finger outside the room.

Wu You could only walk out of the earthen house in a daze, and she came to the carriage with her eyes dull.

"Why is this? Is she really my mother? I don't believe it!"
