Immortality is above

Chapter 24 24: There is a great calamity between heaven and earth.
  Early the next morning, everyone was ready to go. In order to strengthen his momentum, Li Kuan selected more than ten strong men to accompany him, each holding a stick.

Chen Qiao hoped that she could successfully rescue her husband, but she was also worried that something would happen to her brother, and she was extremely nervous.

She didn't want Chen Liubai to get involved. He was a scholar and followed him in the fight. What if something went wrong?

But the matter has come to this, so we have to let Li Kuan take more care of him.

Li Kuan comforted him: "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, we are here mainly to negotiate with the other party, and we will not use swords and guns easily."

After packing up, the team set off for Aolai Island.

Jiangzhou belongs to the Jiangnan region and has many lakes and lakes, one of which is called "Aolai Lake".

There are rumors in ancient times that there is a big turtle practicing in the lake, swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enlightening the Tao, and achieving positive results.

Hence the name.

However, time has changed, and now, the island in the lake has been occupied by a group of strongmen.

The leader, named "Zhang Qiang", calls himself "The Lord of Aolai Lake" and specializes in doing business without capital.

His martial arts skills are outstanding, especially his water skills. It is said that he can immerse himself in water for half a quarter of an hour, which is extremely impressive.

Although this group of people is vicious and domineering, they are somewhat different from the thieves who rob homes and homes. They walk between black and white and will not provoke the government to punish them.

Moreover, the geographical location of Aolai Lake is at the junction of three counties, which is a typical case of neglect.

As the procession set off, Chen Liubai was treated well and sat on the shaft of the only carriage. There were more than 2,500 taels of silver in the carriage, packed in three wooden boxes.

Li Kuan's plan was to use this money to redeem people.

There is no way to raise more money for a while.

Besides, the rules on the road are essentially "bargaining", it depends on who has the better chips.

He believed that since he had invited many famous experts and Taoist Wang to take charge this time, Aolaihu Zhuoqiang would definitely give some face, lower the amount of ransom, and accept it as soon as possible.

So this trip should be stable.

Wang Daozhang was riding on a horse. In fact, he wanted to sit in the carriage so that he could be closer to Chen Liubai.

The matter this time was not to slay demons, but to focus on negotiation, so Adi was not brought along and was asked to stay in the Taoist temple to guard the door.

At the banquet last night, Taoist Wang only offered Chen Liubai a glass of wine, which he deeply regretted. And today on the road, I couldn't find a chance to answer him, which made me very depressed.

"Taoist Priest, when things are over here, can you go to my escort office to set up a magic circle and ask for some amulets to exorcise evil?"

Gao Xisheng, the chief escort of Huwei Escort Bureau, came up on horseback and walked with Taoist Wang. The trap was almost authentic.

Wang Daochang said: "It's easy to say...but didn't we just draw ten talismans last year? Didn't they all run out so quickly?"

Gao Xisheng sighed: "Don't talk about it. These days, it is getting more and more chaotic every year. My three escort routes are getting more and more difficult to follow because of constant troubles."

Taoist priest Wang asked: "Have you encountered an evil spirit?"

Gao Xisheng smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what kind of monsters it is. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Taoist priest's treasure talisman showed its power and scared them away. Only then did they escape... Taoist priest, what do you think is going on in this world? In the past, These are all rumors, but I’ve never encountered him at such a close distance.”

Taoist Wang raised his head and looked up at the sky, making a profound gesture: "The poor Taoist calculated with his fingers that there must be a great calamity between heaven and earth. That's why there are so many evil spirits and monsters appearing. This is an ominous sign."

Gao Xisheng was startled: "Is it so serious?" At this time, Song Bin and Lin Shen also came over. Song Bin said: "It is indeed very serious. More than ten members of the Su Yuan's family in Xinnan Alley, old and young, died suddenly in one night. It’s weird, it’s said to be the work of evil spirits.”

Lin Shen lowered his voice: "What does it mean if a family dies? You must have heard what happened next door. The tiger and wolf monster steals the throne and palm prints, enslaves the people in the city, puts them in prison, and picks their food wantonly. That's horrifying. .”

Gao Xisheng asked: "Don't you say it's a rumor? It's not that, it's just corrupt officials and tyrannical officials. The first few in the Song squad seem to be crazy, and they talk like crazy."

Lin Shen sneered: "Any rumors must be groundless and have some basis."

Song Bin coughed dryly: "The Fucheng Yamen has decided on this matter. Let's not spread it randomly to avoid causing official trouble. Speaking of which, Taoist Priest, how should we deal with evil spirits?"

Taoist Master Wang said: "Actually, there is no need to be too alarmed. You are all warriors, and your bodies are full of strong energy and blood. You will not dare to get close to other ghosts."

At this point, his tone changed: "But, you all have families and relatives. To ensure that your family is safe, it is best to invite a family protector, a family protector god, etc. to your family to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But gods cannot be messed up. Please, once you make a mistake, you may cause disaster, so you must ask a senior mage to handle it."

Gao Xisheng and others said in unison: "Please give me some advice, Taoist Master."

Wang Daozhang smiled slightly: "Now is not the time to talk about this matter. After we rescue Mr. Li, we will find a place and discuss it carefully."

"good."

Everyone agreed.

Lin Shen suddenly asked: "Let's go, will Zhang Qiang make concessions? If he refuses to give up face, will there be a fight?"

"He dares!"

Song Bin, the owner of Bengshan Boxing Gym with the most violent temper, snorted coldly.

Gao Xisheng said hurriedly: "Peace is the most important thing in everything. If you can talk, talk, if you can't, you still have to talk. It's just a matter of price. Until it's settled. Taoist priest, don't you think so?"

Those who run an escort agency pay special attention to this. Unless they are forced to do so, they will never fall out with someone.

Originally, Taoist Wang's trip was just for "talking", but after learning about Chen Liubai's relationship with the Li family, his stance and attitude suddenly changed, and he deliberately said: "We are leaving in a big way, we must not lose face no matter what, we must bring people together today." Bring it back."

Gao Xisheng and others were startled when they heard this: This high-profile statement was not like Taoist Wang's daily style. Could it be that the Li family had promised him extra benefits?

In fact, everyone can be called Lao Jianghu. Although they have friendship with Li Kuan, they are far from fighting for their lives.

It's one thing to agree to come forward to help; it's another thing to actually start a fight if they don't agree with each other once they get to the island.

At the very least, you have to pay more!

There was no more talking after that, and we hurried on our way. In the evening, we finally arrived at the shore of Aolai Lake.

But I saw a big lake with rippling waves and beautiful scenery.

Aolai Island is not an island, but a collective name for several islands.

This time when they came to negotiate for the redemption, the two parties had contacted each other in advance. There was a boat waiting at the lakeside ferry to pick up all the people, horses, and carriages, and then drive to Aolai Island.

Chen Liubai left the carriage, sat on the bow deck, took out the iron sword, and then took out a piece of linen cloth, and began to wipe the sword body, as if to wipe off the rust.

Taoist Wang over there quickly noticed it, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably excited.

　After twelve o'clock, the first round of water testing in this book began, and the brutal PK began. Whether the author eats it dry or eats it thin, how long this book can be written depends on the faces of all the book friends!
