Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 520 Going Down the Mountain
Sending Wang Sheng away, Shen Chengping spent the rest of the day concentrating on cultivating on Laoshan Mountain. At this time, Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao had only just been reborn, and they might not even be born yet. Naturally, it was not the time to look for them. Look, apart from practicing the "Shangqing Sword Classic" every day, Shen Chengping also learned spells such as talismans, alchemy, weapon refining, and hexagram calculations from several senior brothers. These categories are not considered mainstream among Jade Immortals. A little worse, Shen Chengping studied in the Laoshan School, and he also gained a lot of benefits.

The time was spent in Shen Chengping's concentrated practice, and it has been a full 15 years. During these 15 years, people have come to learn from his master, except for a few who have been taught some swordsmanship and small spells by the master. I went down the mountain without learning, but anyone who has been chopping firewood for more than a month will be in good health and will have fewer diseases in the future.

As for the true disciples, it’s not surprising that I haven’t received another one. It’s been more than [-] years since the master accepted the elder brothers as disciples. Before Shen Chengping, there were only seven true disciples. Later, the apprenticeship will be more cautious and strict, and the requirements for apprentices will be higher.

And Shen Chengping's "Sword Classic of the Supreme Purity" is now quite popular, so he planned to go down the mountain to travel the world of Liaozhai, and at the same time look for Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, so he came to the master's place today.

"Master, this disciple wants to travel down the mountain, please allow me!" Shen Chengping said respectfully.

"Well, you've been a beginner for fourteen years, and it's time to go down the mountain to increase your knowledge!" The old man was not surprised by Shen Chengping's request. We belong to the same lineage of Shangqing, Daoist Zhou of Shangqing Palace and I are also close friends, you have met before, if you have time, you can pay a visit, it will be beneficial."

When Shen Chengping heard this, he also remembered this Daoist Zhou who had met several times before. The other party would drink and chat with the master every few years. Sometimes it was in the Laoshan School, and sometimes the master came to visit. The friendship was really good, so he nodded immediately and said: "Master, don't worry, I will go to Shangqingguan to visit."

"Okay, when I drank with him last time, he also said that he had got an apprentice with extraordinary aptitude, and he would show it off the last two times he drank, so you should go and see him here, is this apprentice like him? As he said it was excellent!"

Shen Chengping smiled wryly in his heart, he never thought he would be assigned such a task, but after practicing for so long, Shen Chengping has long understood that immortals are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, but compared to ordinary people, what they pursue is not the same , The old Taoist has a good friendship with the other party, but it does not hinder the comparison with each other. Two people have similar cultivation bases and Taoism, and it is impossible to really work hard. This can be compared, and only the disciples.

On the second day, Shen Chengping went down the mountain with his master's mission, but he didn't rush to Qingcheng Mountain. A layer of shining white light appeared, and after a while, Shen Chengping looked to the east, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that Bi Yao's location is in the same direction as Qingcheng Mountain, but Xueqi is in the northwest. The soul orb hasn't changed much all this time, which means that the two of them are very safe, if that's the case, let's go to Baguio first."

The soul orb that Shen Chengping took out was a magic weapon that he had prepared long ago in the last life. It had the imprints of Lu Xueqi and Baguio's primordial spirit on it, so that Shen Chengping could sense their state and their location at all times. , Unfortunately, only the approximate distance can be sensed. At this time, Shen Chengping confirmed that Baguio's location was in the same direction as Qingcheng Mountain, so he decided to go in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain first.

Qingcheng Mountain is more than 2000 miles away from Laoshan Mountain. If Shen Chengping uses flying magic, he can reach it in a day at most. But first, Shen Chengping wants to see the situation in the world of Liaozhai, and second, he also needs to sense the location of Baguio along the way. After all, the soul orb can only point out the general direction, but it is difficult to determine the detailed distance, so I decided to walk all the way.

On this day, Shen Chengping was just about to leave a town where he was resting, but he heard a burst of yelling: "Brothers, keep an eye on the goods, we won't enter the town until we enter Liuzhou!"

Shen Chengping saw that it was a caravan, and according to what the other party said, it happened to be on the same road with him, so he couldn't help but take a second look. The world is not peaceful these days, and such long-distance businessmen are very profitable. the presence of strength.The caravan in front of me consisted of dozens of carts.In addition to the coachman and the guards, there were dozens of bodyguards with knives on their shoulders.The entire caravan is at least two or three hundred people. Unless there is a major accident, ordinary bandits and bandits will have to go around when they see such a caravan.

Behind the caravan, a few people followed. They followed the big caravan. It was much safer than going alone. If they were in danger, they could find ways to ask for help. They saw Shen Chengping riding a donkey slowly. As they were walking, they called him to go with them, and Shen Chengping did not refuse, so he went with them.

"Grandpa, what's your surname? Are you going to Liuzhou too?" Shen Chengping got close to his grandpa and grandson who were traveling together, and chatted with them.

"My surname is Liu, old man, and my son works as the shopkeeper of a restaurant in Liuzhou City. I wrote a letter a while ago, asking me to take my grandson there to enjoy the blessings!" Old man Liu is 60 years old, his face is flushed, and he is very talkative. After walking seven or eight miles, although Shen Chengping didn't inquire carefully, he almost knew the situation of Old Man Liu's family. On the other hand, the shopkeeper who carried the burden was a person who didn't like talking very much, and kept his head down all the way. Hurrying, only when he looked at the caravan in front, he would show a bit of envy.

"Grandpa, look, someone is pushing a cart over there!" While chatting, Old Man Liu's grandson, Xiaobao, suddenly pointed to the fork in front of him and said loudly.

Shen Chengping and old man Liu looked up and found a strong man pushing a cart at the fork in the road.And this strong man was actually wearing a pure white filial piety.

The strong man pushed the cart beside several people, Shen Chengping looked at the strong man, and found that the cart was covered with a straw mat, and at the edge of the straw mat, a pair of embroidered shoes happened to be exposed.

"Little brother, what are you pushing on this car!" Old man Liu looked at the strong man and couldn't help asking.

Hearing such an inquiry, the strong man showed a painful expression, and said in a mournful voice: "This is my sister."

Old man Liu looked at the straw mat on the cart, then at the strong man, and couldn't help sighing, "What a pity!"

The strong man didn't speak, just pushed the cart without saying a word.At noon, the caravan stopped by a small stream to light a fire for cooking, and Shen Chengping and the others also took the opportunity to rest.At this time, the strong man pushing the cart fetched some water by the stream, lifted the straw mat covering the single-board cart, and wiped the face of the corpse.

The places where everyone was resting were not too far apart. Shen Chengping raised his eyes to look at the girl's body, and found that the girl was only in her 20s, and her features were somewhat similar to those of a strong man.

"Grandpa, look at this sister, is she smiling?" Xiao Bao who was next to him suddenly said this, causing everyone present to look up.Shen Chengping also looked at the corners of the corpse's mouth, and saw that the corners of the mouth of the female corpse were slightly upturned, which seemed to be a half-smile.

Seeing the expression of the corpse, old man Liu didn't say anything, but picked up Xiaobao and hid a little, unwilling to get close. Although the shopkeeper who was carrying the burden didn't move, his brows were tightly knit together, and his face was a little displeased. It looks good, but Shen Chengping's eyes flashed a light.
