I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

Deng Liang thought for a while, then couldn't help nodding his head and said: "That's true! But that Xiong Wanghu is very famous now, and many people from Xishu have gone to seek refuge. My father and I guessed that Shi Chongyun might be you, so we came to have a look Look, you are one of us, if you want to become bigger, we must be on your side."

"But if you leave Bashan, I'm afraid we will also contact Xiong Wanghu."

Shi Hao said in a low voice: "Contact is definitely necessary, but you must never invest your capital. You should know this news in your own mind, don't say it for now. Xiong Wanghu, like Huang Facai, is related to Hong Leichi, and very Seven or eight of them are members of the Demon Sect."

Deng Liang's expression changed immediately, and he said in shock: "Brother Hao, is your news true?"

Shi Hao said: "You also said that we are all on our own, so why should I lie to you? This is a method in the magic sect. Huang Facai has done many evils and is cruel. When he has done all the bad things, Xiong Wanghu will stand up and lead everyone Overthrow him. On the one hand, Huang Facai will take the first step to clean up the obstacles that Xiong Wanghu may encounter in the future, and on the other hand, Xiong Wanghu will use this righteous act to calm people's hearts."

"You have also seen that before this, the two sides of the Han River were in a state of disunity, and the various factions did not belong to each other. Huang Facai took over the territory with strong means, but he was unpopular. After this change, now that Xiong Wanghu has accepted the territory, It won the hearts of the people again. If Bashan and Jiuzhai did not desperately block the Hanyang gang, Hanshui and Bashan are now under the control of Xiong Wanghu."

Deng Liang was terrified when he heard it, it was the first time he knew there was such a practice?

He smiled wryly and said: "If Xiong Wanghu is really a member of the Demon Sect, then we would never dare to put our wealth and life on such a person. Fortunately, you have guarded Bashan, otherwise, Xishu will not be safe. Brother Hao, are you really Don't think about it anymore? Only you, we can trust."

Shi Hao shook his head and said, "To be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about it! But the division of Bashanhanshui has become a fact, and after this battle, I further understand where I am currently short."

"To put it bluntly, I don't have enough strength and prestige now. With the strength of the sixth rank, it's not bad to build a gang in a county-city. If you want to have more development, it's still not enough."

"There is also reputation. The reason why Xiong Wanghu was able to succeed in one fell swoop is that he has persisted for many years and built an excellent reputation. By the way, I also want your help on this point. When you go back, remember to help me promote it."

Deng Liang patted his chest to make a promise: "Brother Hao, don't worry, after I go back, I will let everyone help publicize it, so that more people will know that Brother Hao, you have great supernatural powers, unrivaled power, and superb martial arts..."

Shi Hao said: "Don't, don't, don't! Don't make random publicity about martial arts. For no reason, it would be bad to provoke a strong enemy that I can't beat. It is better to weaken the martial arts. The key is righteous deeds, so that I can't get used to Hanyang. Gang to do evil, assist the Bashan villages to fight against the Hanyang Gang, just leave behind and tell everyone about the 'righteous deed' that hides merit and fame."

Deng Liangdao: "Understood, understood! I will definitely let everyone know how the hero 'Shi Chongyun' has 'hidden achievements and fame'. Just put it on me."

At that moment, Shi Hao brought Deng Liang to meet Gong Muhong, Chuan Taoren, He Guangtao, Yan Zhuxia and others.

Knowing that it was the young leader of the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce who came in person, everyone naturally did not dare to neglect.

And Deng Liang also assured everyone that in addition to further expanding the business relationship between the two parties, he will also support the construction and development of the group training in Bashan in terms of money and food.

"Everyone, just rest assured!" Deng Liang said, "Brother Shi Zhongyun has always been righteous, and what he confessed is the matter of my Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce."

Shi Hao thought to himself, this kid is really good.

-

After Deng Liang left, Gong Muhong and others tried their best to keep Shi Hao again.

For them, without Shi Chongyun, there would be no Bashan Jiuzhai at this moment, so while being grateful in their hearts, they also wanted to invite him to stay and lead Bashan Jiuzhai.

This is also a kind of psychology, the more Shi Chongyun retires, the more they appreciate his great kindness, and at the same time infinitely admire his chivalrous deed of drawing swords to help.

It's a pity that Shi Chongyun refused to stay no matter what.

In desperation, they had no choice but to set up a big banquet, and for a while, everyone came forward and bowed to toast.

They saw Young Master Shi strategizing and working hard to help them defeat the Hanyang Gang and keep Bashan with great difficulty, but after the incident, the situation was calm and he wanted to leave, and they felt that his righteousness was beyond the sky.

Even those who suspected that he had ulterior motives in the past were ashamed at this moment, and stepped forward to toast and apologize.

Right now, Shi Hao stayed here for another night.

After leaving Yuanshi Dongtian, he first rested in the villa in Jinghua Shuiyue Tower for three or four days, then went to Hongqiuhui, and then went to Bashan to join forces with Bashan Jiuzhai against the Hanyang Gang.

This way, more than ten days have passed without knowing it, and tonight, it just entered August, and there is exactly half a month left before the full moon night of this month.

On the first day of August, in Taoism, it is the Festival of Worshiping Wind, and in folk, it is the Festival of Heavenly Medicine.

According to legend, the Yellow Emperor asked Yu Qibo for medical treatment on this day, and wrote the "Huangdi Neijing".

The characters Qi and Huang in "The Art of Qi and Huang" refer to Qibo and Huangdi.

In the early morning of this day, Bashan Mountain was misty and foggy, but at the foot of Nangong Mountain, there were crowds of people.

In Jiuzhai, I don't know how many people heard that Mr. Shi was going to leave.

Many of them arrived here even in the middle of the night, for fear that Mr. Shi left early and they would not be able to see them off in time.

In the face of the warriors and common people all over the mountains and plains, Shi Hao waved his hand and drifted away with Du Yuejiao, Hou Bomin, and Xianggu.

Gong Muhong looked at the back of Shi Chongyun leaving in a cool way, and sighed: "You can leap or fall, you are really a potential dragon!"

The name of "Qianlong" master Chongyun has spread all over the world!

Chapter 168 Demon Chi and Ghost Creature: Taibai Pond!

The closer you get to Changbai Mountain, the more you can feel the blood and brutality of the barbarian army.

Many villages were slaughtered, and many of them did not join the rebel army against the barbarian court at all, but were killed by the barbarian army, and the entire village was slaughtered.

—Some villages were burned, with ashes covering the bodies, and some villages were empty, like ghost villages. The bodies of the people were dragged to the surrounding mass graves and buried indiscriminately.

There are mass graves everywhere, to the extent that there is one for each village.

A long time ago, Changbai Mountain was also called Taiyi Mountain. According to Taoist rumors, there was a real Taiyi who practiced here, so it got its name.

Although the uprising here has been suppressed and Fu Shiyuan escaped here with a small number of remnants, the barbarian army still sent troops to sit in the surrounding towns, and at the same time set up checkpoints everywhere.

However, Shi Hao, Du Yuejiao, Hou Bomin, and Xianggu, whether they were of the sixth rank or the seventh rank, went directly across the mountains and ridges to avoid the checkpoints of the barbarian army, so they didn't have much to worry about.

Although this was the main stronghold for Fu Shiyuan to fight against the barbarians, the rebel army mainly occupied Wugong Peak and the important towns around it at that time, and it was not the main peak of Baishan Mountain.

The four of Shi Hao came to the foot of the main peak of Changbai Mountain, raised their heads, and looked at the towering Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain is the highest peak of the Qinling Mountains. Just standing at the foot of the mountain, you can feel its strange danger and magnificence.

"Is there really a vermillion fruit here?" Du Yuejiao looked suspicious.

Changbai Mountain is quite famous in history. If there is such a thing on the mountain, it has been discovered long ago.

So her suspicions were not without reason.

Shiitake nodded vigorously: "Yes! Yes!"

Shi Hao asked: "What preparations do we need?"

Xianggu tilted his head and thought for a while, then whispered: "Is there any way...to drive away ghosts?"

Shi Hao, Du Yuejiao and Hou Bomin all turned to look at her.

Du Yuejiao felt his hair stand on end: "Are you serious?" Xianggu thought for a while and nodded seriously.

Shi Hao looked up at the top of the mountain: "Why don't we leave?" He thought it would be safer to collect a hundred catties of vermilion fruit.

Du Yuejiao whispered: "Yeah!" She also felt that it would be safer to collect vermilion fruit.

The two turned around to leave, but Xianggu suddenly pounced and hugged Shi Hao's feet: "No!"

Shi Hao dragged her two steps, but stopped helplessly: "Ms. Mushroom, what is there on the mountain?"

Shiitake said in a low voice: "It's nothing...just a little more ghosts!"

What is this called?

Seeing her hugging her lover's thigh, Du Yuejiao was a little angry.

She has never liked shiitake mushrooms very much. She thinks that shiitake mushrooms don't like to be clean and are dirty all day long.

Now she is still holding Brother Shi's thigh.

She couldn't help asking, "Why do you want us to go with you so much?"

Xianggu said aggrievedly: "There are tears of leaving the soul in it...that is the advanced fairy material I want."

Du Yuejiao asked suspiciously: "Is there such a fairy material? Why have I never heard of it?" She couldn't help but look at Hou Bomin.

Hou Bomin said with a chuckle: "The world is so big, there are so many wonders, there are some heretic sects who need fairy materials, it's strange, and it's not incomprehensible for some people to need such things."

Shi Hao said helplessly: "Forget it, let's go and have a look." After all, when he was in Bashan, mushrooms helped him a lot.

If Xianggu hadn't eliminated "Dingding Gorge Pass" Zhao Xuanding first, they might not have won so easily.

Shiitake continued to hug his thigh: "Mmm! Mmm!"

Du Yuejiao bit her lip... are you still hugging?

Now that the decision has been made, the four of them started to go up the mountain.

On the other side of Changbai Mountain, on the mountainside, a group of barbarians pulled out corpses from the carriages pulled up the mountain.

There were hundreds of corpses neatly placed on the ground.

These corpses are all common people outside the mountain. There are no old people among them, but there are many children.

Most of them died by knives and guns, everyone's face was full of panic, and there was a woman holding a child in her arms tightly, with scars on her body.

Even though she was dead, no one else could separate the child from her arms.

There is a long spear, which pierces the mother and child together.

The men in the surrounding villages and towns were either killed as rebels or taken away as young men, so these corpses were mostly women and children.

— A young man, about 20 years old, wearing a brocade robe.

His forehead is narrow, his chin is pointed and long, and his eyebrows are extremely thick. It can be seen at a glance that he is not of Chinese blood.

He has a strong body, his arms are muscular, and he obviously has some kind of powerful external skills.

There is an old man beside him, the old man is full of white hair, the white hair is very long, but it is tied back together like a ponytail.

After putting down the corpse, the barbarians quickly retreated.

The young man in brocade robe waved his hand, and four strong men carried a large cauldron and placed it among the corpses.

Although the tripod is only one person tall, it is very large.The four strong men are obviously warriors practicing external skills, but they also took great pains to carry it here.

They put down the big tripod, and there were eight rivets between the tripod cover and the tripod mouth.

The four strong men carefully removed the rivets, then turned and ran.

Bang, the round cauldron cover flew up under a strong impact.

The cauldron cover was tumbling in the air, and then fell down when it reached a certain height. With a bang, the cauldron cover fell to the ground.

Young people, old people, and those barbarians backed away while looking at the mouth of the tripod.

The young and the old were still calm, but the barbarians who had killed people in the past looked rather uncomfortable and even panicked.

Something crawled out of the cauldron.

A deafening roar sounded from it, and the birds in a radius of ten miles were startled, and the wild beasts ran away.

"What's that sound?" Du Yuejiao asked in shock.

Hou Bomin listened attentively: "It seems to be the roar of a person, or the roar of a wild beast."

The sound seemed to come from the other side of the mountain, making them feel as if the whole mountain was shaking with the roar.

They fell silent for a moment, and the roar quickly died away again.

Shi Hao said: "Maybe it's the echo caused by wild beasts? Or maybe it's the sound of strong wind blowing through the wind cave." He couldn't make too many judgments, he could only barely guess.

After a pause, he said, "Anyway, we'd better be careful."

Changbai Mountain is very high, and in the evening, they just came to Taibai Lake on the mountainside.

"Tomorrow...we will go up the mountain again tomorrow." Xianggu whispered, "It might be better during the day."

Du Yuejiao couldn't help asking: "What does 'better' mean?"

Shiitake nodded vigorously, but it seemed like she was cheering herself up: "It's just better."

Du Yuejiao muttered: "It's as if I didn't say anything."

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Anyway, we will leave after dawn. When we reach the top of the mountain, we must be careful."

Hou Bomin held the dry tobacco in his hand, and said with a smile: "Be careful, you must be careful, the question is what should we be careful about?"

This one was not answered.

Just because I don't know what to be careful about, it makes people feel creepy.

Although the moon rises, it is a crescent crescent.

After they left Bashan, although they traveled day and night, it still took four days.

It was the fifth day of August at this moment, and there were only ten days left before the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The moonlight was not bright enough, making the mirror-like surface of Taibai Lake look much darker.

Tonight's night sky is covered by clouds and fog. Although they are on the mountainside, they can't see many stars.

I found a place to light a bonfire, ate some dry food, and then took turns to watch the night and rest.
