Chapter 66: The Uninvited Guest
Just as Chu Yifan left from Li San's house, thousands of miles west of Qingyang Town, there was a wooden bird puppet that was spreading its wings and galloping, and on top of this puppet stood three people, two men and one woman, among them, this woman was wearing a black long skirt, her appearance was quite beautiful, a silver bell hung from her waist, exuding a cold atmosphere, and the two men were tall and one short, wearing black robes, their appearance was extremely similar, and they looked like a pair of brothers.
At this moment, when the wooden puppet was flying, I saw the woman take a few steps forward, and immediately flew out of a compass, the woman grabbed it, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and soon, I saw that the pointer on the compass swung a few times and pointed in the direction of Qingyang Town. The woman's phoenix eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth showed a faint smile, she looked in the direction pointed by the pointer, and the words came out of her mouth: "Two junior brothers, there is a big tomb ahead, I will definitely be able to gain something from this trip!"
Hearing this, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on the faces of the two, and then the short man spoke: "I have long heard that Senior Sister Zhou Ru's ability to find tombs and explore the cave is extraordinary, and today my two brothers followed Senior Sister out on a mission, it is really an honor, and I will definitely be able to return with a full load!"
The woman chuckled: "That's nature!"
These three people are the disciples of the Inner Sect of the Soul Restoration Sect in the Southern Regions Miao Territory, the woman's name is Zhou Ru, among all the disciples of the Inner Sect of the Soul Restoration Sect, although this Zhou Ru's cultivation is not high, but the magic method he cultivates is quite strange, especially good at the art of finding tombs and exploring caves, and the other two men are twin brothers, and they are also disciples of the Inner Sect, the tall one is called Sun Yun, and the short one is called Sun Yu. This time, the task of the three of them was to find tombs, collect a large number of ancient corpses, and bring them back to the sect in exchange for cultivation resources.
In the eyes of mortals, the land of a thousand miles is still far away, but in the eyes of many monks, such a distance is not worth mentioning at all, and after a while, the three of them came to the dead and silent place in the west of Qingyang Town. They stood on top of the bird puppet and looked down, the three of them were full of dead wood and branches as far as they could see, bursts of dead air poured out from the cracked ground, Zhou Ru's eyes flashed, there were words in his mouth, and his left index finger lightly touched the compass, only to see that the pointer on the compass immediately split into two, trembling slightly. Looking at the gently trembling pointers, a trace of surprise flashed on Zhou Ru's face, she pondered for a while, and slowly spoke: "What a strong death breath, who is buried underground?"
Sun Yun and Sun Yu looked as usual, their eyes were full of greed, Sun Yu glanced at Zhou Ru and said: "No matter who is buried, since we have found out, then even if he is unlucky, Senior Sister Zhou Ru, let's go down!"
Zhou Ru did not make a decision immediately, but looked up at the sky, then looked down at the compass in his hand, and then slowly spoke: "Don't worry, two junior brothers, although there is a big tomb here, it is also quite weird, you see there is a small town there, we might as well go to the town to investigate first, and then enter the tomb after learning some information!"
Hearing this, the two brothers, Sun Yun and Sun Yu, glanced at each other, then nodded slightly, and said in unison: "We listen to Senior Sister!"
In the lobby of the ancestral house of the Zeng family, the old mayor was lying on a chair smoking grass cigarettes, Zeng Gui panted and strode straight here, and soon, he stood in front of the old mayor and said: "Dad, it's not good, it's not good..."
The old mayor exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly spoke, "What made you so flustered?"
Zeng Gui swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "Today, there are three strange people in Qingyang Town, and they are looking around for news about that place, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they've already discovered that place!"
The old mayor's eyes froze, and he said in a cold voice: "What's the panic, even if they find out, as long as they dare to take a step, the result will be the same!
Zeng Gui groaned slightly, and he left after the old mayor gave a few more instructions, and at the moment when Zeng Gui left the lobby, he saw the old mayor's eyes flashing red, and his expression was extremely dazed at this moment, and a voice echoed in his head: "You have done a good job, the deity still needs more vitality, if you do this well, I will ensure that your Zeng family's bloodline is worry-free for thousands of years!"
It didn't take long for the old mayor to return to normal, he walked a few steps slowly, came to the outside of the lobby, raised his eyes to look into the distance, sighed lightly, and muttered in his heart: "One wrong step, one wrong step, if I can choose again, even if it is death, I will definitely not choose to become its slave, but unfortunately there is never an if!"
There is a small restaurant on the East Street of Qingyang Town, the name is Guiyun Pavilion, although there are only a few wooden tables in this Guiyun Pavilion, but its shopkeeper is good at brewing all kinds of fine wine, whenever the sun is close to dusk, there are always people here who are full of people, and the people in the town like to drink wine here, chat about the sky, and listen to music.
As usual, the gate of Guiyun Pavilion was open, and the old drinkers in the town came here one after another, and at this moment, Zhou Ru and the three of them walked into Guiyun Pavilion in a step. For the people of Qingyang Town, they are unfamiliar faces, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then took a few steps forward, bowed down and said: "The three guest officers are foreigners, what do you want to eat?"
Although the shopkeeper is respectful, he is secretly scolding again and again in his heart, Qingyang Town is a place where few outsiders come here, and they are wary of unfamiliar faces. Sun Yun glanced at the shopkeeper and said in a cold voice: "Serve me all the good wine and food in your shop!"
The shopkeeper arranged Zhou Ru and the three of them to sit down at a wooden table by the window, gently wiped them on the wooden table with a rag, and said, "The three guest officers will wait a while, and the good wine and food will come soon!"
After a while, the shopkeeper brought the wine and meat to the wooden table, Sun Yun and Sun Yu held the wine in one hand and the meat in the other, and ate it like a wolf, Zhou Ru looked as usual, looking at the two of them as if they had not eaten for hundreds of years, she secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, and after a little silence, she picked up a wine jug and drank it gently. After half a stick of incense, the two brothers Sun Yun and Sun Yu were already full of wine and food, and at this moment, they saw the eyes of the three of them condense at the same time, looking at a table of wine guests not far away, only to hear someone from the table of wine guests: "Have you heard, there is a feng shui treasure in the mountains west of our Qingyang Town, and legend has it that there is an immortal buried there!"
"I also heard that the immortal is still an old friend of our ancestors, and after his death, his ancestors were buried there, but unfortunately no one knows the specific location of the immortal's tomb, there must be a lot of good things in it!"
"Be quiet, I think you're impatient, and you dare to hit the idea of the immortal tomb!"
Hearing this, Sun Yun showed a smile on his face, looked at Zhou Ru, and said in a low voice: "Senior Sister Zhou Ru, do you hear, there is an immortal buried in the place we found, if we can find the remains of an immortal and bring it back to the sect, the cultivation resources in exchange for it should not be underestimated, and maybe we will become the personal disciple of a certain elder!"
Between the words, Sun Yu had already gotten up and walked towards the table of drinkers, and soon, Sun Yu's voice spread: "What did you just say, where is the tomb of the immortals?"
Several drinkers looked at each other and shook their heads repeatedly, and one of the tall and thin middle-aged men said, "We are all drunk and chatting, don't take it seriously!"
Sun Yu snorted coldly, and slapped his palm on the wooden table when he unfolded his cultivation, and in an instant, he saw that the wine table had become broken wood, and everyone's bodies trembled, and they looked at Sun Yu with horror in their eyes, they had lived in Qingyang Town for a long time, where had they seen a person who could smash the wine table into broken wood with one palm, and at this moment his mind was buzzing, and his heart was even more frightened.
Sun Yu's eyes were cold, swept everyone, and then said: "Give you one last chance, tell the truth!"
Looking at the fierce and vicious person in front of them, several drinkers told everything they knew, in fact, everything they said at this moment was made up nonsense, and it was all a rhetoric specially arranged by Zeng Gui before. After everyone finished speaking, Sun Yu nodded with satisfaction, returned to the previous wine table, his eyes were bright, and said: "You all heard it, it is a tomb of immortals, this time we are going to be developed!"
Just when the two brothers Sun Yun and Sun Yu were ecstatic about this, Zhou Ruxiu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, she groaned slightly, and finally made a decision, and said when she got up: "Let's go!"
Seeing the three of them leave the Guiyun Pavilion, the drinkers chuckled at the same time, and then someone said: "People who are dying dare to be so arrogant!"
Not long after the three of them left the Guiyun Pavilion, a young man in a cyan robe stared at him and immediately followed, this person was Chu Yifan. He had come here long before Zhou Ru and the three of them, and he expected that these three people would appear in the Guiyun Pavilion, so he waited for the rabbit. After a short time, Zhou Ru and the three of them flashed, and turned into Changhong and went straight to the west of Qingyang Town.
At this moment, Chu Yifan stood on a small road, raised his eyes to look in the direction where Zhou Ru and the three of them went, and muttered softly: "These three people really came to that dead place, what is hidden in that place, Uncle Gui obviously died in front of my eyes, but why did he appear in the ancestral house of the Zeng family unharmed, he seems to have something hidden from me, so I will go and find out for myself!"
With a decision, Chu Yifan started his cultivation and chased after Zhou Ru and the others. The night slowly descended on the earth, the autumn wind blew across the earth, lifting the yellow leaves, and the sound of insects came from the fields, making the dark night not so quiet. In the middle of the air on the mountain west of Qingyang Town, Zhou Ru and the three of them took a step from the wooden bird puppet, and in the blink of an eye, they came to that dead and silent place.
The three of them stood on a fallen tree trunk, Zhou Ru's eyes swept around, and she slapped her fur in vigilance, and the compass flew out, and the moment she grabbed the compass, her expression immediately changed greatly, and she saw that the pointer on the compass was constantly rotating. Seeing this, Sun Yun immediately asked, "Senior Sister Zhou Ru, what's going on?"
Before Zhou Ru could speak, a burst of ruddy sound spread quickly, and the entire earth was soon enveloped in a rich dead air, and when the sound entered their ears, the three of them suddenly felt their scalps tingle and creepy.
