Chapter 74: Clues to the Tomb of the Living Dead
Old man Ren's prestige is very high, and after listening to the old man's words, although some villagers who have just arrived don't quite understand the situation, they all pull their babies and kneel in the courtyard.
As far as the eye can see, there is a large number of heads pressed by the black.
The eyes that looked at Zuo Yi were full of hope, curiosity and confusion, as well as a trace of apprehension and doubt.
Zuo Yi stood up and swept his faces condescendingly, his face was silent, but he nodded secretly in his heart.
Fifty-six martial arts seedlings have earned it!
These fifty-six young men with good bones and a foundation in martial arts, as long as ten of them can practice Phantom Sword Finger in the next ten years, it will be enough to do a lot for him.
"Okay! I'll give you a way out! I want your loyalty, unreserved loyalty!" Zuo Yi said in a deep voice.
Old man Ren trembled and bowed: "Thank you Gongzi for your mercy! In the future, our Taogu Village will serve Gongzi as the master! Loyal to Gongzi and his descendants from generation to generation!"
"Generations of allegiance to Childe and his descendants!"
The villagers of Taogu Village knelt down and chanted as if they had been rehearsed.
Zuo Yi nodded with satisfaction.
He knew that in order to truly subdue these people, it would take some time to wash away Qu Yang's marks.
But he is confident that it won't be too long......
The morning sun is rising, and the sun is shining all over the sky.
To the west of the village, on a large piece of flat land next to the canyon, more than 50 boys and girls ranging from seven to twelve years old, including Qu Feiyan, were divided into four teams, practicing their fists and feet meticulously.
Four men with missing arms and legs served as teachers, correcting and supervising from time to time.
Look at who is not serious, the first is to serve with a whip, male and female babies are all treated equally, whip to the flesh, it hurts to watch.
On a big rock not far away, Zuo Yi was drinking wine while staring at the morning exercise of the teenagers, nodding secretly in his heart.
It's no wonder that these little guys have a good foundation, and under such strict supervision from the four teachers, it is a dream to paddle.
These teenagers have been practicing martial arts since childhood, their foundation is very solid, they are not very old, and they are extremely malleable.
Among them, there are four particularly outstanding ones, which are called Ren Fengcheng, Meng Xingsoul, Lin Yiqing, and Yu Han.
The qualifications of these four people are so high that they are above Qu Feiyan, which makes Zuo Yi a little jealous.
No matter what kind of fist and foot kung fu these four people have, they can get started quickly, not only are they physically talented, but they can't hide the wisdom and spirituality that are revealed in their bones.
If they can stabilize their minds and then cultivate superior martial arts, the future achievements of these four people will definitely be limitless.
After getting acquainted with each other for a while, Zuo Yi plans to accept these four people as registered disciples and take them with him to personally train them for a while......
Unconsciously, Zuo Yi lived in Taogu Village for more than ten days.
He already knew most of the situation in and around Zhongnan Mountain.
There are several Taoist temples around, how many masters are hidden in the mountains and forests, and which mountain has bandits entrenched, all of which are clear.
But he still couldn't find any trace of the tomb of the living dead, and gradually, he was about to give up.
However, it is also so-called, Zuo Yijue's ability to get fifty-six martial arts training seedlings from Taogu Village can be regarded as a worthwhile trip, and he is worthy of the reward of saving Qu Feiyan.
He planned to stay here for a while longer, and when he had completely subdued these teenagers and the foundation was almost laid, he would take them to sweep the surrounding area, remove all the potential dangers, and then start the next step of martial arts.
Two months later, it was his father's birthday Zuo Lengchan.
At that time, my father will definitely invite the other heads of the four mountains to go to Songshan to do a birthday, and during this period, he will try to propose the merger of the five mountains.
It's not going to work out.
At that time, my father may retreat and propose the five factions to share martial arts, which will not be difficult to think of, and it will definitely not be something that can be done in the short term.
Zuo Yi didn't plan to interfere too much in this regard, and he couldn't interfere.
With his current strength, he can slaughter the other Siyue heads, and then replace them with new ones.
But there are some things that can never be solved by fighting and killing.
Not to mention anything else, once the four masters are slaughtered, the core mastery of each faction will be lost only by word of mouth in the master's house, which is definitely not the result that Zuo Yi wants.
What's more, the new head of the new leader will definitely agree with it?
After a while, he planned to take advantage of Yue Buqun's absence, and go to the cliff cave to see the remnants of the five mountains carved by the ten elders of the Demon Sect.
If the timing is right, let's see if we can get the Dugu Nine Sword from Feng Qingyang......
"Childe! Found it! This is it, Zhongnan Mountain Baicao Zhi ......"
An old voice full of joy came, but it was the old man Ren who walked briskly holding a thick book.
Zuo Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he fell down the boulder and greeted Old Man Ren: "Old Ren, have you found the ancient tomb?"
"Well, it's hard to say, I'm not sure, Childe, you can see for yourself. ”
Old man Ren's face was scornful, and he opened the old book with one hand and handed it to Zuo Yi.
This is a book that identifies the medicinal herbs of Zhongnan Mountain, and records the medicinal materials that an old man picked in Zhongnan Mountain, as well as the properties of the medicinal materials and the location where they grow.
The page that the old man opened recorded that Lao Langzhong had found a seven-leaf yin fern on the side of a suspected ancient tomb, and he had only picked a few mature medicinal herbs at that time, leaving seedlings.
But when he went back three years later, he found that there had been a serious landslide in the place where the seven-leaf yin fern had grown, the surrounding landform had changed significantly, and there was a Taoist temple called Liuyun Temple nearby.
Zuo Yi frowned slightly: "Elder Ren, what does this mean? There doesn't seem to be a Liuyun Temple around here, right?"
Old man Ren smiled and said, "Childe, the old man has heard of Liuyun Temple, which was also a force in this Zhongnan Mountain more than a hundred years ago.
But later, due to the misconduct of the master of Liuyun Temple, he was destroyed by the Huashan faction, and the entire Taoist temple was also burned.
In recent years, on the site of the Liuyun Temple, there has been a bronze bird view, and you should have seen it along the way. ”
"Yes, I naturally know about the Bronze Sparrow. Zuo Yi's eyes lit up.
Old man Ren reminded: "Childe, that Bronze Sparrow View is a bit mysterious, I heard that it is a hermitage of a certain Taoist master, and it is never open to the public. If Childe wants to investigate, he needs to be careful. ”
"I see. ”
Zuo Yi nodded.
Tongque Temple is very close to Peach Valley Village, less than two miles away in a straight line, and you can see it when you raise your eyes.
However, due to the ruggedness of the mountain road, if you walk along the path, you will have to walk for half an hour.
Zuo Yi had already gone to roughly explore the Tongque Temple five days ago.
Mystery is somewhat mysterious, but to say what kind of retreat of the masters of the Dao Sect is a bit nonsense.
There should be a group of Jiangyang thieves who come out day and night, all of whom are outlaws who are not weak.
It's just that they are well versed in the truth that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and they never commit crimes around Zhongnan Mountain, nor do they look down on the rich families in the surrounding villages and towns, and they are not notorious in the vicinity.
When Zuo Yi went to investigate five days ago, those guys were planning to rob the private treasury of a high-ranking official in Xi'an Prefecture.
Zuo Yi looked at the sky, the sun had risen three poles at this moment, and then looked at the bronze bird in the distance, standing alone on a small hill, quiet and mysterious.
Anyway, if you have nothing to do, let's go check it out.
