If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 98 The last mountain-moving Taoist: Partridge Whistle
With the salt, the attitude of the villagers became enthusiastic, and they took out the old wax meat, sausages, rice wine, etc. at home to entertain Chen Yulou and his party.

However, when it got dark, the eviction order was ruthlessly issued.

"Grandma, what do these people mean? Are you trying to burn bridges by crossing the river? I have such a bad temper..."

Luo Laowai cursed and wanted to take out his gun.

Rong Bao Exiao quickly explained: "This is a rule that has been passed down in the village for many years. The gate of the village must be closed as soon as it gets dark and no outsiders will be admitted."

Before Luo Laowai could speak, Ding Xiu waved his hand and then asked Rong Bao Exiao: "Little brother, is there any place to stay nearby?"

Rong Bao Exiao shook his head: "We are the only village near here, and the nearest one is more than 30 miles away, and..."

He didn't say the rest, so you knew without guessing that he wouldn't take in outsiders either.

"Are there any abandoned houses or something?"

"This..." Rong Bao Exiao hesitated.

Luo Laowai said angrily: "What are you doing hesitantly? Are you there or not?"

Rong Bao Yixiao glanced at Luo Laowai in fear and stammered: "There is... there is a pavilion, but... but it is a place where people are put to death..."

Zanguan, simply put, is a hotel for the dead, also known as Yizhuang.

Chen Yulou smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a place to stay. How far is Zaiguan from here?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Bao Exiao couldn't help but look pale, and waved his hands hastily: "You can't go, that place is very evil, and there is a man-eating rat spirit Er Gu inside..."

Honggu patted Rongbao Eixiao in a friendly manner and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, there are so many of us. Why don't you take us there and give you a few bags of salt later."

For Rong Bao Exiao, the temptation of a few bags of salt was obviously great. He finally defeated his fear and finally led a group of people to leave the village and walk towards a valley to the west.

On the way, Chen Yulou deliberately took out the token and shook it: "Little brother, have you seen this treasure?"

Unexpectedly, Rong Bao Exiao looked disapproving: "What kind of treasure is this? Many people in our village have it."

"Oh? Is it the same as this?"

"Absolutely... People in the village go to Pingshan to collect herbs, and sometimes they can pick up things like this. I heard that there is the tomb of a general from the Yuan Dynasty in the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Luo Laowai couldn't help but his eyes shone with excitement: "That's great, Mr. Chen, let's go to Pingshan to take a look at dawn."

"But we can't go..." Rong Bao Exiao waved his hands hurriedly: "I heard from my mother that there is a Xiangxi Corpse King in the mountains, and he often comes out to eat people."

"Really?" Chen Yulou pondered for a while and then asked: "Little brother, what other legends are there in this mountain?"

Rong Bao Exiao replied: "I heard from the old man that many people used to make elixirs for the emperor in Pingshan, which attracted a lot of poisonous insects and monsters, which were very powerful...

He also said that the Corpse King of Western Hunan was the great general of the Yuan Dynasty. When he died, he was buried in Pingshan, and his body would come out to the Huohuo people..."

These words made Chen Yulou believe that there was a big tomb in Pingshan.

Although he doesn't have the ability to touch Jin Xiaowei's gold points, he is good at "looking, smelling, asking, and feeling". He can guess a lot through some legends and even some place names.

For example, place names such as "Lingcun, Tomb Village, Tufenggou, Yumagang" and so on mostly contain mysteries, and there may be ancient tombs hidden underground.

After traveling for several miles, Rong Bao Exiao stood on the hillside and pointed downwards, trembling: "We're here!"

Looking down from a high place, one can get a panoramic view of the whole building. The scale seems quite small, with three entrances to the courtyard. However, it is completely dilapidated, and some houses have collapsed due to disrepair.

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds and surrounded by jagged rocks. Coupled with the pale moonlight in the sky, it looks even more eerie.

"Go, go down!"

Luo Laowai, who never believed in evil, waved his hand and took the lead to walk down the hillside.

Ding Xiu stood there, frowning slightly as he looked at the environment in the valley.

Honggu walked a few steps and found that Ding Xiu hadn't followed. She subconsciously turned around and looked, then turned around and walked back. She asked Ding Xiu softly, "What's wrong?"

Ding Xiu sighed: "This place is indeed a bit evil, so you must be more careful."

Rong Bao Yixiao also said that this place was very evil, but Honggu didn't take it to heart and just regarded it as some illusory legends circulating in the local area.

Now seeing Ding Xiu's solemn face, he didn't dare to be careless and couldn't help but ask: "Did you discover something?"

Ding Xiu nodded, then shook his head: "I can't really tell. Anyway, I feel like something is not right about this place. The yin energy is very strong, and there seems to be a demonic aura."

Speaking of which, Ding Xiu can now be considered a serious Taoist practitioner.

However, what he majors in is "True", which can be called true Qi. Using it to turn essence into essence, refining essence into Qi, and walking on the golden elixir road can also be called cultivating immortality.

I don't know much about the art.

For example, opening Dharma eyes, drawing talismans, incantations, etc. all belong to the category of Taoism.

The reason why Ding Xiu can sense Yin Qi and even demon Qi is entirely based on his extraordinary senses and a keen intuition.

Honggu's face was startled: "What should we do?"

Before Ding Xiu could speak, the sky suddenly darkened strangely, and a gust of mountain wind blew in drops of rain.

Ding Xiu raised his hand: "Quick, get down first and talk later."

As soon as the two of them rushed outside the main hall of Zanguan, it started to rain heavily.

Chen Yulou and others entered the main hall first. Huama took up the lantern and shined it, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Apparently, this temple used to be a mountain temple.

In the middle of the hall, there is a mountain god who is about ten feet tall. He holds a black mace in his hand and his eyes are wide with anger. Under the dim light, he looks ferocious.

Thick dust accumulated on the shrine in front of the statue. A huge black cat was hunched over, and a pair of green eyes looked at everyone with a cold light like a will-o'-the-wisp.

What is even more horrifying is that there are four rows of dark coffins placed on both sides of the hall. There are probably hundreds of them. Some are half-open and half-covered, while others are tightly closed, exuding a sense of gloom and mystery.

Huama came back to her senses and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "I was passing through the barren mountains and missed the place where I stayed, so I stayed here for one night. I didn't intend to cause any disturbance. I hope you will bear with me."

It's okay that he didn't talk about it, but this talk made everyone feel scared.

Especially Rong Bao Exiao, who was so shocked that he squatted down with his head in his hands, not daring to look at it at all.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly, there was a squeaking sound of mice.

The group of people looked around and saw the most incredible scene in their lives.

On the shrine, two fat mice scurried up at some point, with a strange red light in their mung bean eyes, glaring fiercely at the black cat.

Everyone knows that cats are the natural enemies of mice. When mice see cats, they will run away even if they are not frightened.

Unexpectedly, the two mice actually climbed up to the shrine and approached the black cat. This was an old man who had hanged himself - he thought he was too long-lived?

But what was even more unexpected was that the black cat showed a frightened expression, huddled up and shivered, as if the two mice were cats and it was a mouse.

"Squeak~"

The mouse on the left side of the shrine rushed up first and bit the black cat's neck viciously.

Another mouse rushed over immediately, stood on the other side and hissed.

"Meow~"

The black cat screamed in pain, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of skin and flesh was torn off by the two mice.

However, he refused to escape.

I don’t know if he was paralyzed with fear or something else.

"Sigh~"

This scene fell in the eyes of Chen Yulou and others, but they couldn't help but gasped in shock.

Hong Gu also saw this scene when she came in. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said angrily: "Is the little mouse so arrogant that he is not even afraid of people?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and saw two flying knives.

"Pfft~"

The two mice were unable to avoid it and were shot with flying knives on the spot, causing them to fall off the shrine and make a harsh "squeaking" sound while struggling.

"Grandma, if you don't believe me, I can't beat you to death."

Luo Laowai cursed and took out his pistol, and "bang bang" he raised his hand and fired two shots.

The bullet splashed sparks on the ground, but unfortunately missed.However, the two gunshots also emboldened everyone.

"There is indeed something evil about this place, please be careful."

Chen Yulou finally put away his contempt and gave a serious order.

At this time, Honggu couldn't help but sigh to Ding Xiu: "What you said is indeed right."

"Oh?" Chen Yulou glanced over: "What did Brother Ding say?"

Ding Xiu replied: "I told Miss Hong before that I felt that this place was very dark and seemed to have evil spirits. Now it seems that this place is indeed very evil. It is best for everyone not to separate tonight and go to the backyard to find a more spacious room. House rest.”

"Well, let's go."

Soon after, the group temporarily settled down in the side hall in the backyard.

Seeing the horrified expression on Rong Bao Exiao's face, Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, what did you mean by the second aunt Mouse you mentioned before?"

He didn't take it seriously before, but when he saw the mouse catching the cat with his own eyes just now, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

At the mention of the second aunt Mouse, Rong Bao Exiao couldn't help but shudder and stammered the reason.

At that time, the people who guarded this collection house took in a homeless woman, who called herself Wu Shi. She was thin, short, and extremely ugly, with a face like a mouse.

People in the village said that the woman was transformed by a rat spirit.

However, the person who guards the collection hall is an old bachelor who is almost 50 years old. He doesn't care whether Wu Shi is ugly or beautiful, as long as he is alive.

After all, it can warm the bed, right?

As for why everyone calls Wushi the second aunt the mouse, Rong Bao Exiao can't explain clearly.

"Not long after Second Aunt Mouse came, the man who was guarding the Changuan died. People in the village said that Second Aunt Mouse had eaten him... Anyway, few people in the village dared to come to the Changuan."

Luo Laowai looked dissatisfied, patted the gun on his waist and said loudly: "Grandma, what are you afraid of? No matter if she is a human, a ghost or a rat spirit, as long as she dares to come, I will kill her with one shot!"

Ding Xiu couldn't help but smile: "Luo Shuai, it's better to be careful. Guns are not omnipotent."

"I don't believe it... Huh? Where's my gun?" Luo Laowai touched his waist, but it was empty. The gun on his waist disappeared out of thin air.

No, it was there just now.

"Shuai Luo, I have the gun here." Ding Xiu raised his hand and threw the pistol back to Luo Laowai.

"This..." Luo Laowai suddenly sat up straight, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

He was about three steps away from Ding Xiu, and Ding Xiu had been sitting on the ground. How did the gun get into his hand?
"It's a little trick, don't be surprised by Luo Shuai."

In fact, this is not a charlatan's trick, but Ding Xiu's use of his true energy to capture objects in the void. Although the movement is not as good as Qiao Feng's Dragon Capturing Technique, it is much more subtle and silent.

Chen Yulou also looked shocked: "Brother, what are you doing? I didn't see you moving."

"Just think of it as teleportation. I just want to remind Luo Shuai that if you really encounter a monster, you may not even have a chance to shoot.

Even if there is a chance to shoot, I am afraid it may not be able to hurt those monsters.So, don’t take it lightly. "

If it were anyone else, Luo Laowai wouldn't be convinced.But the skill that Ding Xiu showed made him unable to see through and guess, so he could only nod his head: "Yes, yes, brother, it makes sense."

After chatting for a while, Chen Yulou and others yawned one by one. After all, they were indeed a little tired after traveling for two or three days in a row.

Seeing this, Ding Xiu said, "How about you take turns sleeping."

"Okay..." Chen Yulou responded, and then ordered Huamaguai and Kunlun: "You two keep an eye on it first, I will replace you later."

The room fell silent.Soon, there was a snoring sound.

Huamaguai and Kunlun were still holding on at first, but at midnight, they couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep against the wall.

Ding Xiu sat cross-legged in the middle of the side hall, facing the door, slightly closing his eyes and breathing.

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the half-open old wooden door made a creaking sound.

Hong Gu, undressed, was lying on the ground near Ding Xiu. She might have been awakened by the noise, so she couldn't help but sit up and rub her sleepy eyes.

"Miss Hong, don't move!" Ding Xiu said softly.

"What's wrong?" Hong Gu couldn't help but look surprised.

Ding Xiu smiled as if chatting about everyday things: "Something has come in."

"Something?" Hong Gu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale.

She vaguely guessed what Ding Xiu was talking about, but she couldn't see them.

She couldn't see it, but Ding Xiu could vaguely see a vague shadow floating in with the cold wind.

Ding Xiu couldn't tell what this thing was. After all, he had never experienced it before. Maybe it was something that people often said was unclean.

Seeing the wisp of shadow floating over, Ding Xiu jumped up, balled up his hands, and pushed out into the air with a Tai Chi push.

"boom!"

There was a slight roar in the hall, like the sound of water waves crashing.

The surge of air caused the phantom to instantly shatter and turn into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that his own strength would not be a problem against ordinary evil things.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a "rustling" sound suddenly sounded in the room.

Hong Gu turned around and exclaimed: "Rat, so many rats..."

"What mouse?" Luo Laowai sat up suddenly.

Chen Yulou and others also woke up one after another, stared at it, and couldn't help but be shocked.

A large group of rats appeared in the house at some point, probably hundreds or thousands of them.

It would be fine if they were ordinary rats, but the problem was that a dozen of them were particularly eye-catching and were much larger than ordinary rats, probably weighing more than ten kilograms.

Moreover, these mice exude a foul odor that makes people dizzy, chest tight, and almost difficult to breathe.

Rong Bao Exiao was so frightened that he burst into tears. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Second Aunt Rat, please forgive me, Second Aunt Rat, please spare your life..."

"Quick, everyone get out quickly."

Ding Xiu shouted loudly.

Chen Yulou came to his senses and shouted: "Yes, rush out!"

"Bang bang bang..." Luo Laowai raised his hand and fired a few shots, then rushed out the door like a whirlwind.

Hong Gu grabbed Rong Bao, who was still kowtowing, and Ye Xiao followed her and rushed to the door.

"Susususu..."

The rats in the house surged out like a tidal wave.

The rain stopped at some point, and the pale moonlight once again shone in the dilapidated and desolate courtyard.

As soon as Luo Laowai rushed into the courtyard, he saw a thin figure with a strange red light in his eyes.

"Who? You're pretending to be a ghost, I'll kill you with one shot!"

"Bang bang..."

Two gunshots rang out in the courtyard.

Although I couldn't say how accurate Luo Laowai's marksmanship was, the two sides were only seven or eight steps apart, so he was absolutely sure of hitting him at such a close distance.

As a result, the other party suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The next moment, someone appeared next to him. Although he was in human form, he had a mouse face, grinning and grabbed his throat.

At first glance, she looked like the second aunt Rong Bao Exiao called the rat.

At this moment of life and death, a palm shadow emitting a faint golden light struck. The second aunt Mouse seemed to be afraid and quickly stepped aside.

Luo Laowai narrowly escaped death and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

He finally understood what Ding Xiu said to him: Guns are not omnipotent.

"The evildoer will die!"

Now that the real master has appeared, Ding Xiu naturally doesn't bother to deal with those rat grandsons and rushes straight towards the second aunt Mouse.

Ding Xiu doesn't know how to use the "Heaven and Earth are infinite, the universe borrows the law", nor can he throw a Taoist talisman and then shout "Urgent like a law" or other techniques.

His fighting style is more inclined to martial arts, using strength to defeat magic and force to defeat evil.

Just like Sun Wukong, how many fairies were killed with a golden hoop?
The rat spirit thought it would be an easy task to deal with a few ordinary people. At first, it didn't even plan to show up in person, but summoned a ghost.

It was the thing that was blown up by Ding Xiu's palm before.

Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected, and he encountered a tough problem, so he had to take action himself.

Unexpectedly, only after taking action did he realize that it was more than just a hard fight?Simply its nemesis.

Its illusions and sorcery have almost no effect in front of Ding Xiu, so he can only fall into a passive situation of being beaten.

In fact, what this rat spirit didn't know was that Ding Xiu had already regarded it as a training target.

After all, this was Ding Xiu's first real fight with a monster, so he took this opportunity to gain more fighting experience.

"Squeak..."

Not long after, the rat spirit suddenly let out a sharp cry.

At first, Ding Xiu didn't know what he meant, he just thought it was the other party's angry scream.It took a while before I realized that this rat spirit was actually calling for help.

Under the moonlight, an old lady who looked like a dwarf, wearing an old-fashioned double-breasted black dress, came riding on a snow-white donkey.

The old lady's appearance was no better than that of the rat spirit. She was withered and lean, as if she were a mummy.

The whole person looked lifeless, but his only pair of eyes were extremely bright, as if a pair of small light bulbs were installed in the eye sockets of a dead person.

"Bai...Old Mrs. Bai, Old Mrs. Bai has appeared..."

Rong Bao Exiao was so frightened that his face turned pale again and he screamed in horror.

No one can tell what kind of deity this old lady is, but there are often mountain people worshiping her in the Laoxiong Ridge area.

Rong Bao Yixiao once saw the so-called statue of the old lady Bai, and it scared him. Therefore, he recognized at a glance that the old lady riding a white donkey in front of him was the legendary old lady Bai.

At first, Ding Xiu saw the same image of an old woman.

However, when he looked carefully, he realized that this was just an illusion cast by the other party. The so-called old lady was just a raccoon that became a spirit, and the white donkey it was riding was just a rabbit.

I don’t know what kind of relationship this rat spirit has with the raccoon spirit.

In short, upon seeing the arrival of the raccoon spirit, the mouse spirit could not help but perk up and let out a series of strange sounds.

Li Zijing responded a few times, then rushed towards Chen Yulou and others.

"Be careful of its illusion!"

Ding Xiu shouted loudly and then moved, preparing to rush over to deal with the raccoon spirit.

Unexpectedly, the rat spirit suddenly transformed into its true form. It turned out to be a giant rat weighing more than a hundred pounds. It had a bare tail and almost all the rat hair on its body. It also exuded a stench that made people feel sick and stuffy.

"Squeak~"

The rat spirit let out a piercing scream, jumped up suddenly, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Ding Xiu.

On the other side, the raccoon spirit that transformed into an old lady also launched an attack. What it was best at was illusion, making people fall into illusions without even realizing it.

A white light appeared in front of Chen Yulou's eyes, and a figure walked slowly with his back to him.

Although it was just a silhouette from behind, Chen Yulou was extremely familiar with it and couldn't help but chase after him excitedly: "Mom, wait for me, mom..."

That was his mother who had been dead for many years.

When he finally caught up with his "mother", the "mother" finally turned around, but it was a bloody face, and she opened her bloody mouth and bit his neck...

At this critical moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the sky:

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, mixed with manifolds. The lower part is the river and the mountains, and the upper part is the sun and stars. People call it Haoran, and it is full of power to fill the sky..."

This is "Song of Righteousness" composed by the famous Xiang Wen Tianxiang!
Every word and every sentence was filled with the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth, which instantly broke through the illusion of the raccoon spirit, causing Chen Yulou and his party to wake up one after another.

Where is the old lady and the big white donkey in front of me?There was only an ugly old raccoon dog and a big white rabbit.

Then, two men and one woman were seen striding towards them. One of them was a middle-aged man, wearing a blue robe. Although he was dusty, he was majestic and had bright eyes.

Behind him followed a young man and woman, about twenty years old, each carrying a bamboo basket.

The young man's hair was slightly curly and he was carrying a bow and arrow. The woman had a beautiful appearance and a light body, holding a flower umbrella in her hand.

Before Chen Yulou and others could recover, the three of them had surrounded the old raccoon man and attacked him one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old raccoon boy didn't care about the rat spirit anymore. He jumped up and tried to escape from the encirclement, and then ran away.

It moved quite quickly, but the middle-aged man was even faster. He saw the old raccoon leaping into the air and was about to pass over the curly-haired man's head.

The middle-aged man shouted loudly, and somersaulted up, like a goshawk attacking a rabbit, as fast as a shooting star chasing the moon. He flipped his body and kicked the old man backwards, smashing the old raccoon's bones until he fell to the ground with a "bang".

Chen Yulou is also a knowledgeable person, and he couldn't help but look shocked after seeing this move.

He had already guessed that the move performed by the middle-aged man was exactly one of Banshan Taoist's special skills: Kuixing Kick!
The four factions of Xiling, Touching Gold, Moving Mountain, and Faqiu are mainly engaged in tomb robbing. It is inevitable that they will encounter zombies. All four factions have ways to restrain zombies.

Among them, the most talked-about one is the "Kui Xing Kick Fight" of the Banshan Sect.

It is said that this move is specially used to remove the large vertebrae of zombies. It cleverly utilizes the technique of pushing four or two thousand pounds. Once the zombie is kicked, the back vertebrae will be kicked apart, making it difficult for it to stand and lose its mobility.

On the other side, when the rat spirit saw the raccoon spirit being kicked to death, he turned around and ran away in shock.

"Evil, where to escape!"

Ding Xiu shouted loudly, dodged, and kicked the rat spirit high into the air.

Seeing that the rat spirit was also dealt with, Chen Yulou couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, then walked quickly to the middle-aged man, cupped his fists and said:

"There is a tall building on Changsheng Mountain. Heroes from all over the world come here, dragons and phoenixes make old friends as they wish, and the sea is rolling in all directions. I am at Chen Yulou in Xialingling. Didn't you ask me for my brother's name?"

Although he had already guessed the other party's identity, he still wanted to confirm it in person.

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and returned the salute: "It turns out to be the leader of Xiling."

Then, he replied with a comment: "To reach the stars, you need to ask the hand of the leader. To move the mountains, do not move the Mount Changsheng. What you burn is the dragon and phoenix Ruyi fragrance, and what you drink is the sea water from all over the world."

Move the mountain, partridge whistle! "

Chen Yulou smiled knowingly: "He is indeed the leader who can move mountains, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use the Kuixing kicking trick that kills Li Zi."

The visitors were none other than Partridge Shao, his junior brother Lao Yangren, and his junior sister Hua Ling.

Lao Yangren and Hua Ling share the same clan as Partridge Whistle, and are both descendants of the Zagrama tribe.

They are also the last of the Banshan Taoists, because the Banshan sect has been passed down to this day, but only the three brothers and sisters are still struggling to persevere.

Even though he knew there was little hope, he still worked tirelessly, wading through mountains and rivers in search of the legendary Muchen Bead.

Outsiders only think that Master Banshan went to the tomb to find elixirs and elixirs. Only a handful of his colleagues knew the truth. They were actually looking for beads.

Soon after, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but walk over to the corpse of the rat spirit and look at it, with a look of surprise on his face.

Just as he was about to ask, Chen Yulou stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Partridge Whistle, let me introduce to you. This is Brother Ding Xiu. He is a rare internal master with extraordinary skills."

The partridge whistle immediately handed over his hand: "It turns out to be Brother Ding, whom I have admired for a long time!"

"Long admiration" is the most commonly used polite expression in the world. Partridge Whistle has never heard of Ding Xiu's name at all.

However, Ding Xiu is very familiar with the name of Partridge Whistle. When he finally saw him today, he couldn't help but smile and hand over his hand: "I've admired Brother Yang's name for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you today. As expected, it's better to be famous than to meet..."

Partridge Whistle returned the salute, and then introduced his junior brothers and sisters.

"This is my junior brother Lao Yangren, and this is my junior junior sister Hua Ling."

"Nice to meet you……"

Both parties were inevitably polite and the atmosphere was harmonious.
