The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 399 Shuiyun Temple is destroyed

After leaving Yuefeng Inn, Lu Qian turned around twice on the street and came to another restaurant.

The restaurant was deserted, with only one table of guests.

There are six people at this table. At first glance, they are tough guys with strong cultivation skills who have been licking blood from the edge of a knife all year round.

Quyang Town is a place that receives mostly Jianghu tourists who venture into Lone Wolf Ridge, and there is no shortage of such people.

Before Lu Qian entered the door, he heard them discussing: "We have been preparing for the whole winter. This time we go into the mountains, we must make a lot of money."

Another person said: "I just went out to inquire around, and for some reason, the price of mountain goods in Lone Wolf Ridge has dropped."

The first person said: "No way? You can't go into the mountains in winter. It's been on hold for a whole winter. According to previous years, the price should be the highest now."

The man said: "I'm also quite puzzled, but Lao Li, who collects mountain goods, told me..."

They were chatting there when they suddenly saw someone coming in. They immediately stopped talking and all looked at the door.

Seeing that there was only one person entering the door, and it was a young man with bright clothes and a fair face, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Qian entered the restaurant, glanced at the store, and went straight upstairs.

As soon as he left, several people in the shop started talking again:

"Such a fair-faced scholar dares to come to Lone Wolf Ridge? He must be thinking about money."

"Hmph, I think this boy is probably a nobleman's son who has never been out of the house. He's here to gain experience."

"Bah, what does it matter if he is a son of a noble family? The ghosts in Lone Wolf Ridge don't recognize his father. Just like this, I bet he won't be able to survive three days in Lone Wolf Ridge."

"What three days? If he can survive one day in Lone Wolf Ridge, I will eat shit from the bottom of his head."

"Ha ha……"

"This is what you said. When the time comes, I will help this boy. He must survive for a day."

"I'll pull it."

……

On the second floor, room No. 6, Tianzi.

Lu Qian walked to the door and pushed it in.

There was only one person sitting in the spacious room.

A middle-aged man with a dusty face.

When he saw Lu Qian come in, he immediately stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "See you, young master."

Lu Qian sat down directly at the main seat and asked, "Did you bring the money?"

This middle-aged man is also Mi Guanghao, who has some connections with Lu Qian at Lone Wolf Ridge.

This winter, Lu Qian made his home in Lone Wolf Ridge. Sitting guarding the treasure mountain, naturally you can't be idle.

However, Lu Qian didn't have the time to sell the "mountain goods" in Teng Lone Wolf Ridge.

At this time, Lu Qian thought of Mi Guanghao.

Mi Guanghao has been in Gulangling for many years and is very familiar with the "mountain goods" here, and he also has ready-made sales channels.

Lu Qian saw that this man was okay, so he found him.

Lu Qian emptied out the valuable goods in the mountains and let Mi Guanghao sell them. After the money was sold, the two of them split the accounts.

By the way, this person can also help Lu Qian get some information.

Mi Guanghao said: "I brought it, a total of 80,000 taels."

Lu Qian frowned and said, "So few?"

Mi Guanghao's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.

Good guy, this is eighty thousand taels. Before, Mi Guanghao would never have been able to earn this amount in his life.

Is this man too young?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this to Lu Qian.

Mi Guanghao pondered for a moment and said: "Master, we have a lot of goods, but we can't release them all at once, otherwise the price will be driven down. We have to keep the flow..."

Lu Qian waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I am in urgent need of money now and have no time to wait. Get rid of all the goods as soon as possible and send me the money."

Mi Guanghao frowned and finally said: "Yes."

Lu Qian stretched out his hand and knocked on the table and said, "Don't be so stupid. If you spread out the goods and sell them, and transport half of them to Jiangnan, wouldn't the price be able to charge that much?"

Mi Guanghao was stunned and said, "But I don't know anyone in Jiangnan?"

Lu Qian looked at him with a bit of hatred, and said: "Business, business, business, don't you know each other after doing it once? Go in person and find two big companies. The first two times, you lowered the price a little, and you're afraid there will be no one." Will you take over?"

Mi Guanghao's eyes lit up and he said, "Young Master is right..."

Lu Qian said: "I brought out some more goods and put them all in warehouse No. 5. I will pick them up later. This time the quantity is larger, so be careful on the road."

Hearing this, Mi Guanghao stretched out his thumb and praised: "It must be you, Master. Going to Lone Wolf Ridge is like going home. I saw several groups of people today, and some of them were gearing up and preparing to go to the mountains for a big fight. Well, hey...if they knew that you were carrying goods from Lone Wolf Ridge one by one, Master, those people would be so jealous that they would vomit blood."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Weren't you just like them before, but now you're laughing at those people?"

Mi Guanghao scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Hey, who asked me to be with you? My current business is a hundred times better than before."

Lu Qian said: "Work hard and I'll make sure you make endless money."

Mi Guanghao was overjoyed and said: "Young Master's kindness to Guang Hao will be rekindled. I am absolutely loyal to Young Master and will never be the same. For Young Master, I, Mi Guanghao, will not hesitate to go up to the sword or to the sea of ​​fire..."

Lu Qian waved his hand and said, "I don't want you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, I just want you to make money."

"Yes."

Lu Qian asked again: "How are you doing inquiring about the whereabouts of those bald donkeys in Shuiyun Temple?"

When Mi Guanghao heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said bitterly: "Since Shuiyun Temple and Tianbao Temple were exterminated, those bald donkeys have just disappeared from the world, and no one knows about them anymore. Whereabouts. I sent people to inquire for a long time, but found nothing."

Lu Qian couldn't help but have a headache after hearing this.

More than three months ago, during the few days when Lu Qian was in Wuqin Grassland, a major event happened in Dali Kingdom that shocked the world.

The imperial court, which had been planning for a long time, suddenly launched a war against the sect.

At that time, the sect had allocated a large part of its strength to the grasslands, and it felt a little empty internally, so it suddenly suffered a big loss.

Shuiyun Temple and Tianbao Temple were directly destroyed by the imperial court!

At that time, Shuiyun Temple, headed by Kong Luo from the Fourth Grade Cave Underworld, brought a large number of elite disciples to the grassland.

Halfway through, they actually split up again. One part went to the Wuqin Grassland, while the other group headed by Kong Ling wandered around the Lone Wolf Ridge. The court seized the opportunity and ambushed them.

The wave of monks who went to the grassland from Shuiyun Temple were killed by Lu Qian.

In this wave at Lone Wolf Ridge, most of them were killed by the imperial court.

The temple gate of Shuiyun Temple was besieged and raided by the imperial court. Almost all of them, including the abbot Kong Wu and another fourth-grade cave underworld Kong Yan, died in the battle.

Only a few monks escaped.

However, something went wrong for some reason at Lone Wolf Ridge, and the most critical figure, Monk Kong, escaped.

His whereabouts are still unknown.

This is a bit troublesome for Lu Qian.

In his empty hand, there is a moon-cutting door.

If this Moon-cut Gate is not retrieved, the Moon Palace will never be safe.

The empty monk had gone somewhere, and Lu Qian couldn't sense the moon-cutting door.

There are only two reasons for this situation.

One is to put the paper spirit away in Kong Kong so that he can't sense it.

Second, Kong was too far away from Lu Qian, beyond the range of his mental induction.

On the Shuiyun Temple side, they still managed to escape.

Tianbao Temple only has one word "miserable", and two of the three "empty" characters were besieged and killed in the temple.

But the other one died in Wuqin Grassland.

The imperial court's declaration of war against the sect this time was obviously carefully planned.

The imperial court divided its troops into two places to carry out key encirclement and suppression campaigns.

The first place is at Lone Wolf Ridge.

At that time, a large number of people from the sect entered Lone Wolf Ridge to search for the so-called "fallen alien star". As a result, they were ambushed by the imperial court and most of them were annihilated.

Secondly, for the mountain gate of the sect, the imperial court let go of the strongest Qingxuan Guan and did not choose the minor characters of the five surnames and six sects. Instead, the main target was the second-ranked "Two Buddhas".

This move caught the sect by surprise, and even the sects of Shuiyun Temple and Tianbao Temple were uprooted.

Since then, the "two Buddhas" who have stood for thousands of years have become history.

After destroying the two temples, this wave of troops went on without stopping and took over Jiucang Mountain.

As a result, one more mountain is missing from the "three mountains".

Lu Qian was shocked when he first heard the news from Mi Guanghao.

The imperial court first engaged in "destroying gods" and then suppressed "sects". This series of methods was like a thunderous strike, which was shocking.

However, Lu Qian also knew that in addition to sending these two groups, the imperial court also sent a third group of troops.

Along the way, they went to the grassland, and they were led by the strongest general He Bingnian.

Looking at the formation, it was obvious that the imperial court regarded this wave of sect masters who had penetrated into the grassland as a key target and prepared to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The sect masters who were in the grassland at that time included nine masters of the cave underworld, including the two masters of Hantan Mountain and Toad Palace Mountain!

It can be imagined that if this wave of power is removed, the blow to the sect will be severe. Although Qingxuan Guan has many fourth-grade cave masters, losing five of them at once is an unbearable pain for Qingxuan Guan.

However, this massive "Battle of the Grasslands" did not start in the end.

What's even more outrageous is that before the war started, eight of the sect's Nine Great Cave Underworld masters died, leaving only Yang Hong, who led the sect's disciples to escape!

However, He Bingnian's army, which was preparing to ambush the sect, was inexplicably destroyed before they could take action.

So far, Lu Qian doesn't know how they died.

The two sides who prepared to fight did not fight, but both were destroyed.

I am afraid that the wily and scheming Emperor is also confused.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that the imperial court lost a lot of power, so it did not continue to eradicate the next sect and expand the results.

Naturally, the sect leader Qingxuan Guan could not ignore the actions of the imperial court.

The two sides fought a few more games, with each other winning and losing, and for a while there was a stalemate.

It is said that now the two sides seem to have reconciled again.

However, no one can provide any solid basis for this kind of news.

What Mi Guanghao heard were just rumors, and he didn't know the details.

Lu Qian originally thought that after he mastered the "Liuyun Sword Technique", he would build a flying sword and then go to Shuiyun Temple for revenge.

Although his paper-cutting technique is powerful against ghosts, it is greatly reduced when used against Buddhist disciples.

In comparison, the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" is naturally more sharp against cultivators.

Lu Qian had to be fully prepared to deal with Shuiyun Temple, one of the largest sects in Dali.

However, what he didn't expect was that before Lu Qian was ready, Shuiyun Temple was destroyed first.

Only the empty monk was left, taking his moon-cutting door with him, and fled to no one knows where.

Lu Qian returned to the Moon Palace and squatted several times, but no one came in.

Today is different from the past. Now it is the empty monk's turn and he has become a bereaved dog. He does not dare to enter the moon palace easily.

But leaving such a tail dangling outside would be even more troublesome for Lu Qian.

Today, the only good news is that Bai Tan's whereabouts are finally known.

It seems that Shuiyun Temple must have carried Baitan out of the Moon Palace, and then was snatched away by the court during the fierce battle.

Xiaofeng, Qinglin and Heiwa are still missing.

Lu Qian estimated that Qing Lin should have taken them to a remote place for retreat.

But where will Qinglin go?

We can only wait and ask Bai Tan, he might know.

Lu Qian said to Mi Guanghao: "Then you continue to send people to investigate and don't let up. If you have any news, let me know immediately."

"Yes."

Mi Guanghao looked at Lu Qian and seemed to want to ask something, but he didn't dare to ask.

Lu Qian said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Yes."

Mi Guanghao said: "If there is nothing else, let's go get the money now? Then I picked up the goods and left as soon as possible so that I can exchange money for the young master as soon as possible."

Lu Qian nodded and said: "It's almost noon, let's eat first. You tell them to bring the money here directly, and I will take it away later."

"Yes."

Mi Guanghao responded, turned and left.

Lu Qian sat in the room, used his mental power to contact Jing Yanxiu in Linglongju, and asked, "Has the second sister come out of seclusion?"

Jing Yanxiu quickly replied: "No. But..."

Lu Qian said: "But what?"

Jing Yanxiu said a little unhappy: "That Yang Meiting came to see my husband again. I even told her that my husband was not here, but she still stayed here and refused to leave."

As soon as Lu Qian heard the three words "Yang Meiting", he immediately felt a headache.

Since they moved to Linglong Residence, Yang Meiting has been running here every two days, and from time to time she has invited Lu Qian to bathe together in Sickle Valley.

It is also said that bathing with lotion is helpful for cultivation.

Lu Qian said: "Tell Linglong to send her away."

Jing Yanxiu agreed and asked, "Ms. sir, will you go home tonight?"

Lu Qian thought for a moment and said, "Go back. I'll go back when it gets dark."

……

Mi Guanghao is still a person suitable for career. After a quick meal, he took people to the warehouse to pick up the goods and left Quyang Town south.

Now that he has money and a backer, he has gathered all his former relatives and friends, and recruited some good players. Now he is considered the number one figure in Quyang Town.

Now Lu Qian can basically walk around freely in Lone Wolf Ridge. The numerous ghosts are just crops in his field. He can harvest them at any time as long as he needs them.

However, this is only at night.

During the day, not even Linglong dared to go out casually.

There was still some time before the evening, and there was nothing going on, so Lu Qian brought out Ruyan and Ruyue, who had not been seen for a long time, to accompany them for a drink.

As soon as the two sisters appeared, the elder's resentment immediately appeared on their faces. For them, of course they still want to live in reality rather than stay in that piece of paper every day.

However, these two people were born in brothels, and of course they knew that what men hate most is women's complaints.

They put away their resentment, and in order to be able to move around more in the future, they used all their abilities to please them even more.

Lu Qian also stayed in the restaurant for an extra hour. When it was time to finish dinner, he took the two girls out and walked to Lone Wolf Ridge.

Behind the three people, there was also an armored general who was fighting against the enemy.

In addition to carrying money, the armored general carries more daily necessities, which cannot be bought in Lone Wolf Ridge.

Not long after, Lu Qian and his party arrived at the foot of the archway entering Lone Wolf Ridge.

At this time, several groups of people had gathered under the archway, obviously explorers preparing to enter Lone Wolf Ridge tonight.

They gathered here but did not take action, either because the people had not arrived yet, or because they were not strong enough and were looking for partners.

As soon as Lu Qian arrived, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

His team is really weird.

A male master, two maids, and a general.

What's even more outrageous is that the general is carrying a big bag on his shoulders.

It was obvious what was inside.

Is this person going on an adventure in the mountains or out for a spring outing?

Isn’t this a place for outing?

Lu Qian ignored these people and walked straight into the mountains.

As soon as Lu Qian left, a burst of whispers started behind him.

The content of their conversation was nothing more than ridicule.

One group of people looked at each other, and for some unknown reason, they followed Lu Qian and followed him in.

Lu Qian ignored these people.

Ruyan held a lantern to lead the way, Ruyue held another lantern and followed Lu Qian, and the armored general followed behind with a knife.

The group walked through the canyon and entered Lone Wolf Ridge.

There were seven people following them, and they were the same group that Lu Qian had met by chance at the restaurant today.

In addition to the six people I had seen in the restaurant, there was also a strange face, a Taoist priest who was dressed a bit sloppily.

Pass through the canyon and enter a forest in Lone Wolf Ridge.

Lu Qian and his party walked to the left without hesitation.

Seeing that they actually took the shortest and most dangerous left line, the seven people following them were stunned.

The seven people stopped in place, all with surprised expressions on their faces.

They looked at each other for a few times, and finally turned their attention to a middle-aged man with a beard in the middle of the crowd, and asked: "Kanye, what... is this?"

"Say he hasn't been to Lone Wolf Ridge, but he looks like he's familiar with the road; he's said he has been... How could he... How could he do this?"

"Kanye, what should we do?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, the bearded man named "Kanye" looked at the place where Lu Qian's back disappeared, looked at it for a while, and then looked back at the sloppy Taoist priest.

The slovenly Taoist priest was short in stature and skinny. He didn't seem to weigh much. He had an unkempt beard, his face was as dark as if he hadn't washed it in a month, and his hair was disheveled.

The sloppy Taoist priest said: "Yin Gui points the way, follow."

Kanye nodded and said, "That's what I mean too. If nothing else, I just want to see how Lao Huo eats shit while standing on his head."

After hearing Kanye's words, everyone immediately looked at one of them, a man in his thirties, laughing.

The man's face turned green and white. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I still don't believe it. Can this pretty boy come and go freely in Lone Wolf Ridge? There is no such person in the world. Just go and have a look."
