Longevity starts with eating monsters

Chapter 111: A load of birthday money, a hundred thousand yuan for life
The Yangtze River flows eastward, stretching as far as the eye can see. It is a grand canal that runs across the north and south, supporting millions of canal workers, and countless ships travel back and forth every day.

And Lu Chen was on one of the ships at this moment.

Although it just happened yesterday, the news has already spread.

Haoran Sect was traveling around the world at that time, but he was beaten insane when he just started out, and became stupid and dazed after being taken back to Haoran Sect. This was a rare event.

After all, Haoran Sect is the leader of the righteous sect in the martial arts world. Its presence in the world is a sign of respect for the sect. Even if its cultivation is not high, its status is enough to make all the sects respect it. Not to mention that such a disciple must have masters around him to protect him, so he should be able to travel freely in the martial arts world.

But it turned out like this.

What followed, naturally, was the fame of the "Fatal Scholar", and everyone was secretly wondering what kind of great opportunity he had obtained.

Some people said that he fell off a cliff and received spiritual power from heaven.

Some people said that it was the manifestation of a spirit from his family heirloom ring, and that there was a celestial being inside protecting him.

News from all sides is getting louder and louder.

Some people even went to the vicinity of Haoran Gate to search around, trying to find this crazy and rebellious person who claimed that he would "come to Haoran Gate in person in three days."

As for Haoran Sect, they also entered a state of martial law out of caution.

However, no one expected that Lu Chen had already left Black Wind Mountain at this time.

After he let Chen Huaiyuan go, he didn't care much about Haoran Sect's reaction. That would happen three days later, and he didn't plan to waste his time in these three days.

His destination was simple, Pingyang City.

The minor official who killed the fatal scholar's family has now become the Pingyang Jiedushi of the imperial court, and can be regarded as an important official of the imperial court.

"call"

Pushing open the window, Lu Chen took a deep breath and felt refreshed: "What a great place, there really are no demons."

Lu Chen had discovered this as early as when he was checking the experience of the Fatal Scholar.

In this world, there are no demons in the Yama Cauldron!

"There are no demons, and no one will lose their lives in vain. Compared to the Red Dust Cauldron where all living things are like grass, this world is much better and really makes people yearn for it."

If the world I had traveled to was not the Red Dust Cauldron full of demons, but this place, maybe I could have lived a stable life as I wished? Thinking about it, I still have some expectations. After I become invincible, living in seclusion here might be one of the options.

"Anyway, let's go meet the Pingyang Jiedushi first."

Since he has inherited the fate of the Fatal Scholar, Lu Chen is willing to complete his cause and effect, which will also help him integrate the fate and complete himself.

Outside Pingyang City, in an abandoned villa.

This place is backed by the Dalong Mountains and was once a charity cemetery, but was later abandoned. The gate buildings are already covered with spider webs, indicating that few people have been here.

However, at this moment, in this abandoned villa, a large number of martial arts masters who were well-known in the entire Southern Xinjiang martial arts world gathered. Not only did almost everyone have their own name, but they also started from the third realm, or even the fourth realm of first-class masters.

"The owner of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School, the great hero Li Feiying? I have heard of you for a long time."

"The abbot of Shatuo Temple, Master Tietoutuo? You're welcome."

"The Marquis of the Divine Traveler, Dai Taibao? It's like thunder in my ears, like thunder in my ears."

A group of martial artists greeted each other. They were all famous figures in the Southern Xinjiang martial arts world. Even if they had never met each other, they had heard of each other's reputations, so they were polite in their words.

After all, a sedan chair is carried by everyone.

However, at this moment, as a burly man with thick hair and beard like a lion walked out, the surrounding noises suddenly quieted down.

"Crazy Lion, Xiao Yuanao?"

"He's here too?"

The expressions of everyone present became serious, and those who had originally just wanted to join in the fun also realized that something was wrong. After all, the Crazy Lion Xiao Yuanao was not an ordinary person.

This is a master!
Only warriors who have all five spirits and awakened their own destiny can be worthy of the title of "Grandmaster". Such a person is not only in the southern border, but also in the whole world. Not to mention that the mad lion Xiao Yuanao is still the best among them, ranking 21st on the earth list.

Now that he is here, this "gathering of heroes" is probably not just a joke.

"Where is the Grand Marshal?" Xiao Yuanao called out as he entered the main hall. His voice was like thunder and full of energy, as if a lion was really roaring.

But soon, a loud laugh was heard in the hall.

"Brother Xiao is still as heroic as ever."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in his fifties, dressed in cloth and with a plain appearance, walked out from the backyard. At first glance, he looked like an old farmer who had just finished farming.

"Liangshan Army Marshal, Xiaoyi King Song Gongming!?"

"It turned out to be a gathering of heroes held by King Xiaoyi. Could it be that Liangshan is really going to rise up in rebellion?"

"Good thing!"

Looking at the excited crowd below, Song Gongming's eyes flashed with pride, but he hid it and said in a deep voice:
"Song is here to gather all the heroes here for a big event!"

"It's about the dog emperor's birthday gift!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the martial arts world present reacted instantly.

Speaking of the birthday gift, it suddenly emerged a few years ago. It is said that it was proposed by Yang Jinghao, the current Pingyang Jiedushi, and then implemented.

but--

"This birthday gift should be a good thing, right?"

In the crowd, the abbot of Shatuo Temple, Tietoutuo, was somewhat puzzled: "The imperial court took the initiative to provide loans to the people under its jurisdiction. The people only needed to sign a deed to get the money. And the annual birthday gift is nothing more than sending the deed to the imperial court to let the court know how much has been loaned out."

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

"If you don't know the inside story, then there's nothing wrong with it." Song Gongming shook his head: "But the abbot knows that the deed is not just a loan document."

"That was tailor-made for that dog emperor by the imperial master."

"It's 'life-saving money'!"

After the words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Selling your life for money?
"The current imperial master." The mad lion Xiao Yuanao frowned, "I remember that he was a Taoist priest who suddenly appeared three years ago and was treated as a distinguished guest by the dog emperor."

"What do you mean by selling your life for money?"

"Literally." Song Gongming said in a deep voice: "The court used the money that was lent out to buy the lives of those who borrowed it! I have been secretly investigating in Liangshan for several months and finally confirmed that all those who borrowed money, without exception, died suddenly due to various accidents within half a year!"

"And this is all because their lives were bought by the imperial court!"

"That loan document was actually a deed made by the imperial master of the dynasty using evil techniques. The lives bought with it were all offered to that dog emperor!"

"Think about it, everyone."

"The dog emperor is now 87 years old, and he can still eat the best food and have sex with ten women every night. The prince is almost dying of exhaustion from him!"

"Is this reasonable?"

"If it weren't for this evil skill that can take away people's lifespan, how could the Dog Emperor live to this day?"

After Song Gongming's explanation, everyone present became furious.

It’s not because of those borrowed money and died tragically, but because many of them also borrowed money from the court and signed the loan document!

"The court has committed such an evil act, which is outrageous to both humans and gods!"

"The court must be stopped!"

"This is a huge offense against the world!"

Seeing the crowd's indignation, Song Gongming nodded imperceptibly, and then stated his goal:
"As far as I know, Yang Jinghao, the governor of Pingyang, is about to transport a new batch of birthday gifts to the capital. And this road is the only way for it to pass."

"I have gathered all the heroes here to fight for justice, just to get rid of the harm to the people."

"Let's all work together to rob this load of birthday money!"
