Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 190 There are some disasters, and it is better to live than to die.

Time flies, and it’s midsummer in May before we know it.

Yu Fengwu has not been seen or moved for three days. The top of the Xilin Valley is silent, and the birds are not falling.

Xu Yuanchang guessed that Yu Fengwu was in retreat and was advancing. He told Liu Xianfeng to pay attention to the disturbances nearby and not to let outsiders interfere with Taoist Yu's good deeds.

He carried several jars of ghost spring water and a few ghost jade in a bamboo box, and held the black jade box in his arms, and came to the dark place through the Nine Fantasy Cauldron.

He didn't come to visit for several days.

"By chance, I went to the ghost market and brought some jars of ghost spring water to the two seniors to try."

Xu Yuanchang opened the bamboo box and took out four jars of underworld springs and a pile of ghost jade.

The old ghost let out a high-pitched laugh: "Xiaoyou Xu is very interested. I just need the water from the underworld spring and the ghost jade. Old man Zeng is cultivating the divine way, so don't waste it on him."

A huge phantom with a human body and a goat head twisted in black and white, shot out a beam of light from its black pupils, and swept away several items.

Xu Yuanchang didn't know that the two old monsters had a fierce argument over him and almost started a fight.

A black light shot out and swept away the black jade box and its lid.

It's also good to stay away from the bloodshed and killings in the spiritual world for a while.

The human heart is filled with evil spirits and it is impossible to guard against it.

He was a little suspicious of good things that happened for no reason.

"If you don't solve these troubles, can you get into the ghost world?"

Xu Yuanchang did not expect that Madam Cang was a fourth-level ghost cultivator.

With his cautious temperament, he naturally had to rely on two experienced seniors to help him appreciate and resolve his doubts.

The old ghost said angrily: "According to my idea, you can trick Wei Yu's body into eating him and wipe it clean. It's a shitty deal."

"I just want to regain my freedom, and I don't want to cause any more troubles. You can do these things by yourself. I will go to the ghost world and be done with it. I won't care about everything anymore."

He had a feeling that Yu Fengwu wouldn't be able to stay in the countryside for long.

He took off the sealing talisman on the black jade box and opened the lid, revealing the "Dark Wood Phantom Fire" as big as a fluorescent emerald inside, and said: "Two seniors, please help me take a look at this phantom fire. "

"you……"

He still lived his leisurely life unhurriedly, practicing martial arts every day, practicing tricks on mountains, sharpening illusion skills, practicing flying knives, etc. In his spare time, he drew second-level talismans and read books.

He still has a lot of time to learn illusions and understand the ritual of the phantom fire of Youmu. Even if he advances to the third level, he will not act rashly in the ritual of phantom fire without a complete grasp.

"Hey, even if it's a waste, I can't make it easier for you, an old man."

"Wei Yu is not stupid. How did you trick him into eating him?"

The old ghost exclaimed in surprise: "This is a rare good thing in the world. Although it is not of high quality, it is just right for your use. Is there anything weird about it?"

After chatting for a while, Xu Yuanchang said goodbye and went back with the excuse that he could not stay here for a long time.

There was a saying in the past life that the greater your ability, the more troubles you have to take care of.

"That ghost woman wants to plot to kill you. When you advance to the third floor and refine this phantom fire according to the method she taught you, that's when she will come to fight for your body through the phantom seal. She should have noticed that you Without a master's inheritance, ordinary fourth-level monks cannot see through her tricks."

Planting vegetables, carrying water, and cooking every day as usual. He didn't say whether he would be promoted to the fourth floor. He didn't practice swordsmanship as usual.

The gray light gradually dimmed.

Zeng Wanglou couldn't see the old ghost's arrogance when he got an advantage and acted like a good boy, so he retorted out of habit and said: "Many years ago, I visited the ghost market once, and there was something called 'Jiyin Stone Gallbladder' that I brought back to the world of the sun. The best material for refining water-cold magic weapons or array devices."

Xu Yuan agreed with a smile, asked for the black jade box and the phantom fire back, sealed them again and left them on the ground.

Neither party mentioned the mountain god Wei Yu in their speech, as if the matter was completely settled.

Although Yu Fengwu is powerful in combat, she does not understand the art of ghost illusion, and may not be able to tell whether there is some unknown trick inside the phantom fire.

Xu Yuanchang told Liu Xianfeng not to pry or ask too many questions, and just let Yu Fengwu be a quiet pastoral fairy.

Yin and Yang are separated, humans and ghosts are on different paths, and they are not related to each other, so why should they take care of him?

The old ghost came up with an idea with great interest. He wanted to learn more about the ghost world through the fourth-level female ghost.

Xu Yuanchang had never heard of Jiyin Stone Gallbladder. He wrote down this item and said with a smile: "This junior is short of money and cannot afford expensive items."

After a long while, the old ghost's voice came out in a low voice: "He suspects that we have a deal with Wei Yu."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the voice of the old ghost came from the shadow of the sheep head: "The phantom fire is like a flower, and there is a subtle phantom mark left by a fourth-level ghost cultivator at the core of the flower. It seems real and fake, and it is very clever and secretive.

Xu Yuanchang recounted in detail how he spent money to learn illusions in a ghost market shop and received guidance from Lady Cang.

Zeng Wanglou echoed: "The old ghost's plan is very clever. The female ghost relies on her talent in ghost skills to transform into the invisible and insubstantial. Even if she is discovered, she doesn't have to worry about being trapped and caught by the fourth-level monks in the human world. She can easily escape back." The realm of the underworld, but once she enters the Nine Fantasy Palace, she can no longer be controlled by her."

"Zeng Wanglou, don't even think about threatening me."

Zeng Wanglou said: "It's best to come up with a solution that has both ends. I'm optimistic about his future, and I don't want to antagonize him because of Wei Yu. Xu Xiaoyou has all the opportunities, fortune, scheming and skills, and his growth rate will not be slow."

At the end of May, Yu Fengwu came out of seclusion.

"Xiaoyou Xu, I suggest you not to erase the marks left by the ghost woman for the time being. When you advance to the third floor, you can use a trick to lure the ghost woman here, vent your grievances, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers. What do you think? ?”

He has this convenient condition, and what he wants is security and peace of mind.

"Hey, you threatened me first, but you still don't allow me to protect myself?"

People, many times they can’t help themselves.

Long before the retreat, Yu Fengwu gave all the spiritual coins obtained from the sale of two brown foxes to Liu Xianfeng, and also made fun of the little money fan who would roll around in the spiritual coins and sleep every day.

……

The capital of the Daning Dynasty, named "Fengxian City", has a radius of about two hundred miles.

The tiger is sitting on the dragon's side.

Jiang Tangtang, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was walking along the small street. He was bored. He didn't dare to kill anyone on the street easily again. His ancestor sent someone to warn him. If he dared to kill people in the street and ruin the Jiang family's reputation, he would be sent to the Prison Mountain in advance to suffer. .

He had suffered a lot at Huanyun Mountain in Qingping County, and he did not want to disobey his ancestor's orders again and again and waste his rare three years of training.

"Bird, bird, sing a song for me."

An idle man teased the myna bird hanging in a cage under the eaves.

The myna bird rolled its eyes and uttered a string of curse words: "You birdless birdman, get out of here, Master Bird."

The idle man scolded: "Bird eunuch, I will buy you and castrate you later."

"You don't have a bird, you don't have a bird."

"Bird eunuch, bird eunuch."

The vulgar exchanges between one person and one bird made Jiang Tangtang, who was passing by, look gloomy.

Now he couldn't listen to swear words with the word "bird" in them. Thinking of his ancestor's warning, he clenched his fists and left quickly, not being as knowledgeable as an ant.

Passing by the alley, a burst of cheerful nursery rhymes floated out.

"Young green boy, you have three legs, throw away one and jump into the water. You will become a bastard in your carefree life. Guquack, Guquack, jump into the water."

There were several children in the yard who sang it over and over again.

The child's voice is clean and crisp, and can be heard far away.

Jiang Tangtang's complexion had turned livid, and he was listening to the nursery rhymes of "Green Man, Three Legs" coming from various lanes and yards. The tragic incident at the end of last year that severely damaged his body and mind, and the scars were bloody and opened, made him angry. Blood rushed to his head.

Fortunately, he couldn't break out on the spot.

He staggered a little on his feet, and his fists clenched loudly.

The blood on his face was flushed, and his expression was ferocious.

The past could not be mentioned again, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, as it turned out that it was certain members of his family who had cut off his descendants.

He didn't know how far he had walked in a trance, but the nursery rhyme he heard in his ears changed to "Four young masters, three legs, lose one and jump into the water." He was so angry that his vision went dark, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell down on the stone with a "plop" On the old street. "What's the point of living? What's the point? It's such a shame."

Jiang Tangtang looked at the sky and laughed miserably. He felt that life was gloomy and his future was hopeless. He regained his determination and tried his best to reverse the qi and blood. Suddenly, the meridians in his body collapsed. Blood overflowed from the seven orifices and emerged from the pores of the body. The eyes were full of vitality. Collapse.

The streets were filled with screams and panic, and everyone was running away.

The young master of the noble family was dressed in an extraordinary way and looked like he was bleeding all over and had a serious illness. He was worried about getting into trouble.

The Jiang family monks who were following him in the dark had long been used to the Fourth Young Master's various quirks. As long as they weren't killing people in the street, they wouldn't show up to stop him. By the time they realized something was wrong and rushed to help him, it was already too late.

A dark-faced salesman carrying a load of goods walked through the streets and alleys. He ran away with the crowd, and then stopped with the crowd to watch the excitement.

Hearing the words of the Jiang family monks trembling in fear, "Since the meridians have been cut off, all the breath will be dead", the seller squeezed out of the crowd, turned into another alley and disappeared.

……

It was already the evening of the next day when Xu Yuanchang learned the news.

The sun sets in the west, and the sunset illuminates the courtyard.

The three of them sat around the square table for dinner. After Yu Fengwu finished a piece of fresh and crisp cucumber, she told the news that Jiang Tangtang had died of menopause and died on the street. She then told the two of them about the meal and said leisurely:
"Young green boy, you have three legs, throw away one and jump into the water. You will become a bastard in your carefree life. Guquack, Guquack, jump into the water."

Xu Yuanchang took a sip of soup and "poofed" it on the side, and he almost choked.

What a genius, to even think of using nursery rhymes to stimulate Jiang Tangtang's unhealed wounds.

He remembered that Qian Mian was a master of ventriloquism and ventriloquism.

But if Yu Fengwu reads it seriously, the dead Jiangtangtang can become angry and come back to life.

"Ah, he committed suicide again."

Liu Xianfeng was a little surprised and shouted: "Sister Yu, didn't you say that you didn't die after committing suicide three times and that you didn't have the courage to commit suicide again?"

Yu Fengwu snatched a peach in front of Liu Xianfeng and said: "Maybe men care more about that, and they were stimulated by some people with ulterior motives. Jiang Tangtang couldn't think about it for a while, and he died from grief. "

I took small bites of the thin-skinned and juicy peach, eating like a lady.

In comparison, Liu Xianfeng eats with his mouth full and his hands dripping with juice, he is so heroic and informal.

Xu Yuanchang wiped the soup from his mouth with a towel. After the lady finished chewing the peach in her hand, he asked, "Do you want to find out who has the ulterior motive to use this method to stimulate Jiang Tangtang?"

Yu Fengwu wiped her fingers carefully and said: "I found someone teaching street children to sing nursery rhymes, and arrested seven or eight of them. They were all street gangsters who took money to do things. After tracing the source, many more people were arrested. There is no trace yet. The people behind the scenes seem to have a lot of involvement.

"Jiang Tangtang has become a joke among the good-for-nothing disciples of other aristocratic families, and all kinds of rumors are being spread around.

"There is news that a good-for-nothing from the Xue family had a dispute with Jiang Tangtang. He promised that Jiang Tangtang would look good. Within half a month, something like this happened."

Xu Yuanchang was relieved. It was impossible for the Jiang family to dig deeper if other children from aristocratic families were involved.

Lao Shi is reliable and has taken all subsequent transfer targets into consideration.

After dinner, Xu Yuanchang tidied up the kitchen.

There is no need to count on Chef Yu, let alone Xiao Shumei. They can carry water to cook and cook. There is no way to ask them to wash the dishes. Who knows that someone likes to eat greasy fish and meat.

Yu Fengwu, who was resting in the yard, suddenly asked: "Who do you think can succeed the shopkeeper of Heiji Inn?"

Xu Yuanchang, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment and said: "Old Qi, you can take good care of me."

His cultivation level is not enough, otherwise Yu Fengwu would definitely leave his position to him.

The prerequisite for being a demon-catching shopkeeper is that your cultivation level must reach the level of the third level building. Otherwise, no matter how deep your background is, it will be in vain.

Liu Xianfeng, who was making tea, stopped what he was doing: "Sister Yu, are you going back?"

Yu Fengwu nodded: "Okay, let's do good deeds together."

Looking at the glow of embers on the horizon, Yu Fengwu smiled a little lonely and said: "I can't stay too long. I will come back to stay for a while when I have time. Sister Xianfeng, you have to help me take care of Xilin Valley. , don’t let my territory be ruined by snakes, rats and hares.”

"Sister Yu, don't worry. I'll let Xueli go around every day. No rat or snake of any kind will dare to come near. Didn't you say that you won't be manipulated by them anymore?"

"I want to go out for a walk and see the world outside Dingzhou."

Yu Fengwu didn't want to continue this topic, so she stood up and said as she walked: "Let's meet the masters from other continents. We can't rest on our laurels. The road to sword cultivation has always been through thorns and blood."

After leaving the yard, a soft voice floated in.

"Xilin Valley is my vegetable garden where I can completely relax and take care of my mood."

"Sister Yu is powerful and domineering."

……

Capital City, a remote courtyard with two entrances.

Shi Wangchen, who was sitting alone in the main room drinking, heard an unhurried knock on the door from outside.

He stood up alertly and brought up a breeze, making the shadows on the wall swayed by the light.

After taking a look outside, his expression returned to normal, he walked out and opened the courtyard door, inviting Hei Xiayi, who had unexpectedly visited, into the courtyard of the monster-catching property. The old yellow dog was lying against the wall and did not enter.

Shi Wangchen closed the courtyard door and returned to the main room with a smile: "Boss, why do you need me to go there in person?"

Hei Xiayi set up a soundproofing ban, stared at the monster hunter's men with messy hair, and said: "You have become more capable. You have killed a disgusting scourge by yourself without being noticed."

A trace of confusion appeared on Shi Wangchen's face, and then he returned to normal. In front of the boss, since he has been seen through, there is no need to deny: "Jiang Tangtang looks at you with eyes full of hatred and madness, so he must die."

Hei Xiayi sighed in her heart, she guessed this was the reason.

As one of the four demon-hunting shopkeepers in the capital, she had the authority to intervene in all cases, so she took Yuanbao for a walk around the streets.

No matter how Lao Shi changed his body shape and appearance, even if he used medicine to change his breath, he still couldn't escape Yuan Bao's nose.

Yuan Bao was so familiar with Lao Shi that he could smell it even when it was burned to ashes.

After finding Lao Shi from the chaotic smell on the street, even if the Jiang family sent out a hundred demon dogs, it would be impossible to find the real culprit.

There were too many pedestrians coming and going on the street, the smell was a mess, and no useful clues could be found.

Hei Xiayi asked: "You don't know what Jiang Tangtang experienced in Qingping County and the trauma he suffered. Don't be stupid and be used as a gunman. Who else is involved? You should discuss this matter with me in advance."

Shi Wangchen shook his hair so wildly that he denied it one after another: "It's just me, no one else is involved. Who is tired of living and dares to participate in this deadly business?"

He is not stupid. If he had discussed it with the boss in advance, he would be unable to do anything with a dog behind him.

Hei Xiayi asked in a different way: "Aren't you from the capital family or nearby sects?"

Shi Wangchen blinked, "We have no connection with them."

Hei Xiayi was worried that Qianmian would be sold by those black-hearted guys. Without those people's involvement, she felt relieved and no longer pressed the subordinates who stood up for her.

Walking around in the main room thinking, he said: "The Jiang family suspected that other children of the aristocratic family were causing trouble, so they focused on investigating in that direction. They originally wanted to ask Elder Mei to deduce the theory, but the ancestor of the Jiang family objected, saying that it was not worth messing with a dead incompetent bastard. , a waste of resources and energy.

"The morning after tomorrow, you and Yuanbao will meet up in Gaojia Town, a hundred miles southwest of the city, and go on a mission to Wuwu Mountain. You will stay there for two months. By then, the rumors will have subsided. At the end of the year, I will apply for another assignment. We don’t stay in the capital, away from the right and wrong of the capital.”

Shi Wangchen was completely relieved. He found a way to reveal Jiang Tangtang's inhumane secret to the two monks from aristocratic families through other channels. They were both dandy bastards and made the news spread quickly, which had the purpose of muddying the waters.

The boss arranged for him to go to the Wuwu Mountain Territory, staying far away because he was worried that there would be clues about him being figured out.

In fact, he had been careful enough, and had done many things with the help of secular underground forces. Even if he summoned the remnant soul of Jiang Tangtang for questioning, he was still a confused man. Who knows where the conspiracy came from?
Shi Wangchen suggested: "How about bringing Brother Bajiao and Brother Xu together? It will be more convenient to do things with more people, and it will also be lively."

"Mind your own business first, and we'll talk about it later. I might transfer you to a remote place to hide in peace and practice."

Bai Xiayi didn't stay long.

Walking out of the courtyard, the yellow dog followed behind him and disappeared into the night in the alley.

She also hates Jiang Tangtang who becomes crazy and unscrupulous.

Some disasters are better off alive than dead.
