Chapter Twenty-Four: The Night Banquet

Previous Chapter

The carriage ran through the mountains for a day until dusk and sunset, and the journey was peaceful.

"Mr. Lin, there are still about three days to go from Yingchuan County." The driver slowed down.

He remembered that there was an open space in front of him for a rest.

"Well, hard work. We'll set off on our own when we arrive in Yeongcheon-gun, and you don't have to follow us all the time. "It is impossible for Lin Ye to let Xiang Liang's people follow him all the time, otherwise his whereabouts will be in the hands of others.

His final destination was Xianyang.

The coachman hesitated: "But the head of the house said that I would drive for you, and I would send you wherever you go." ”

"It's enough to go to Yingchuan County, and we won't go back to Pengcheng for a while. You have to go back, so I don't want to let you follow me all the time. Lin Ye explained.

The coachman didn't think so much, nodded and said, "Okay, if Mr. Lin has a place to stay in the future, he can send a letter back to the head of the family and keep in touch." ”

Lin Ye glanced at the surrounding mountains and forests and reminded, "Find a safe place to rest tonight, don't sleep to death, there may be an attack." ”

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and this vigilance is still there. There was an open space in front of me, where I used to rest. ”

Half an hour later, the sky was already much darker, and the sun had sunset, and there was no trace of it.

The clearing was there, but there were a lot of more people.

The group seemed to be waiting for the group, and the leader was wearing a grimace mask on his face.

Unlike the previous man's mask, not a person.

"Phew!" The coachman quickly pulled the reins, but fortunately he had slowed down in advance, and the carriage quickly stopped.

"Lin Ye, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." The grimace-clad man spoke slowly, his voice calm and powerful, like that of a young man.

There were twenty-five of them, twelve maids, twelve guards with swords, and the leader.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of them, on which a sheep was roasted, and the smell wafted through the mountains.

"You guys are really ghostly, who are you?" Lin Ye got out of the car and said helplessly.

"You can call me a ghost slave, all those with a grimace mask are ghost slaves, no name." The ghost slave arched his hand.

Lin Ye asked curiously, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

"At first, we also stumbled upon your superior force and wanted to develop you into a ghost slave. But later, after our investigation, we found that you easily solved the Nine Palaces, and you also came up with an extremely difficult arithmetic problem, which we have not solved yet. ”

While the ghost slave spoke, the maid next to him spread a blanket on the ground and brought some melons and fruits on it.

"Only then did we find out that it was not easy to get Bai Yujing behind you. We thought that the Bai Yujing you mentioned was just casually talking, and it was impossible for the mountain gate to exist and not exist in any ancient books. ”

"However, your martial arts and knowledge cannot be explained."

"Any knowledge needs to be accumulated through the efforts and accumulation of countless generations, and there must be a mountain gate behind you."

"Then, Bai Yujing is bound to exist, but the world doesn't know about it, including us."

"Where the world doesn't know, we can't figure out where else is there besides fairyland."

"You, Lin Ye, are most likely from the Immortal Sect."

The ghost slave slowly said the speculation given by the forces behind him.

"Well, and then what?" Lin Ye walked over and sat on the blanket and listened.

The ghost slave was a little excited: "You admit it?" ”

"Admit what?"

"You're from the Immortal Gate!" The ghost slave's hands were trembling.

Lin Ye picked a grape and put it in his mouth: "I didn't say it. Even if I'm from the Immortal Gate, so what? What do you want to do? ”

"Immortality!" The ghost slave spat out these two words heavily.

He stood up excitedly and spread his hands: "All fame, fortune and money in this world are vain, and decades have passed in a hurry, and they are not going to turn into a handful of loess." Only immortality is what we should pursue! ”

"You are from the Immortal Sect, you must know the method of immortality!"

It turns out that in addition to Qin Shi Huang, there are still people in the world who are pursuing immortality.

Lin Ye squinted at the person in front of him who had fallen into madness, and poured a basin of cold water.

"No one in the world can live forever."

For Lin Ye's denial, the ghost slave didn't care at all, and seemed to have decided that Lin Ye was from the Immortal Sect: "We didn't think that you would be able to tell the path of immortality from the beginning, you can continue to watch it next, look at our sincerity!" ”

"I don't need you to do anything superfluous, don't bother me, I'll be thankful." Lin Ye pushed away the maid who was leaning over.

These maids all showed a touch of snow white, and they walked up to Lin Ye's side, as if they wanted to warm Lin Ye's hands.

But in front of the public, Lin Ye was embarrassed to do such a thing, and quickly pushed people away.

"We went to find the place where you first appeared, just outside Pei County. But we searched all the 100,000 mountains there, and we didn't see any trace of the mountain gates, except for the extermination of many bandits. ”

"It's like, out of nowhere."

"This is not an immortal gate, what is it?"

"The first time you saved Lu Gong and them, you used a few bamboo leaves to kill people."

"No matter how powerful a master in the world is, it is impossible to kill people with bamboo leaves, and mortals will never be able to do it."

The more the ghost slave spoke, the more excited he became, and a flame seemed to ignite in his eyes: "You must be from the mountain gate!" Bai Yujing! ”

"And this." The ghost slave solemnly took out a cloth ball, and after uncovering the layers, it revealed a chocolate package wrapped inside.

"This kind of material definitely does not exist in the world. It's so smooth and the light shines. This icing alone is already a treasure. And such a treasure is actually used by you to wrap the candy. ”

"We can't think of anyone else who has such a skill other than Xianmen."

"What did you do to Lu Pheasant!" Lin Ye looked at this chocolate package and said sharply.

Lu Su, who had been listening in the carriage, also opened the curtain and paid attention to the movement here.

The ghost slave hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, this sugar coating was stolen by us, and we didn't touch Miss Lu at all." ”

Hearing that Lu Pheasant was fine, Lin Ye's face softened a little.

He didn't care much about Lu Pheasant, but he didn't want others to have accidents because of him.

It would be ridiculous to lose a single human life just because of a chocolate package.

Lin Ye had already understood that the group of people in front of him was a group of crazy people.

A group of madmen in their crazy pursuit of immortality.

It seems that this group of madmen has spent a lot of effort to investigate Lin Ye and have investigated everything since he came to this world.

The group of people behind the ghost slaves must have a lot of resources in their hands.

Whether it is money or power, it must be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Only a person with high power and wealth can have the heart to pursue immortality.
