Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 9: The Thief's Trail
"Something happened to Miss Liang."

Li Hu sighed softly, then explained slowly.

It turned out that a few days ago, when the second young lady of the Liang family went out, she was kidnapped by Wan Tianhe, a flower thief who had recently fled to Heishan County.

Li Hu's words stunned everyone.

They never thought that such a thing would happen to the second young lady of the Liang family.

You know, although Wantian He is very powerful, he is only at the third level of refinement.

Naturally, the Liang family has masters of this level.

However, even if the Liang family has a master at the third level of refinement, it is impossible to let such a master serve as a bodyguard for the second lady of the Liang family.

It's not surprising that I was caught off guard and was found by Wantian He.

After hearing this, Li Gui's face was filled with anger and he felt a burning pain on his face.

You know, since the news of his marriage to the second lady of the Liang family came out half a year ago.

In order to use the Liang family's name to expand the reputation of their Black Mountain Gang and Black Mountain Martial Arts School.

During this half year, they have been promoting the marriage between Li Gui and the second daughter of the Liang family in the county.

Almost everyone in Heishan County knew that Li Gui, the young leader of the Heishan Gang, was going to marry the second daughter of the Liang family.

But unexpectedly, the second young lady of the Liang family was targeted by Wan Tianhe.

How can Li Gui face people in the future?

At this moment, Li Gui could imagine what others would say when someone asked him about his identity when he went to the brothel to have fun again in the future.

At this time, Li Gui's father Li Ying suddenly asked.

"How is Miss Liang?"

"That Wan Tianhe only raped Miss Liang, but didn't harm her life."

Li Hu took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Brother, what should we do about Gui'er's marriage?"

Li Ying continued to ask.

"What else can we do? We have already discussed it with the Liang family."

"continue."

Hearing this, Li Gui looked up at his uncle, his eyes full of disbelief.

Li Hu, who had been quite doting on Li Gui before, now lost his previous doting attitude and his expression became stern.

"This……"

Li Ying, who used to be strict with Li Gui, now hesitated.

"Brother, isn't the eldest daughter of the Liang family still unmarried? Do you think it's possible..."

"Second dick."

Before Li Ying could finish his words, Li Hu interrupted him.

"It's already good enough for Gui'er to marry the second daughter of the Liang family."

"The eldest daughter of the Liang family is not something our family can even dream of."

"Besides, I heard that he has already been married."

"I heard she was going to marry into the county."

When Li Ying heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately fell silent.

Li Hu shook his head and sighed again.

"Okay, now that something like this has happened to the Liang family, I guess they'll come to propose marriage soon."

"Gui'er, you should stay in the martial arts hall for the time being and don't go out anywhere."

"Azhong."

"exist."

A scarred man next to him who looked familiar to Ji Chang walked up to Li Hu and lowered his head.

"That Wan Tianhe guy has appeared in our Heishan County. You will be the one protecting Gui'er during this period."

"Yes."

A Zhong nodded and walked to stand beside Li Gui.

Now, everyone understood what Li Hu meant.

This is more surveillance than protection.

After all, if Li Gui stayed in the martial arts hall well, he wouldn't need anyone to protect him closely.

On the other side, Ji Chang watched the conversation between the people in the picture, but he was a little confused. When he was spying before, Ji Chang had heard Li Ying talk about the martial arts masters of Zheng State.

According to Li Ying, in the State of Zheng, the three martial artists were first-rate masters who were famous throughout the area.

The four martial artists are masters of martial arts, and even in Zheng State, they are not enough to count.

Although there are masters of the third level of refinement among the several powerful families in Heishan County.

But the two brothers Li Hu and Li Ying are also masters of the third level of refinement.

Moreover, the Black Mountain Gang under their command is quite powerful. In the eyes of low-level hunters and farmers like Ji Chang, Heishan County basically belongs to the Black Mountain Gang.

Compared with the powerful families, even if the Li brothers have less foundation, they should be considered to be of the same level of power.

Logically speaking, there should be no need to be so humble.

Could it be that there is something in it that Ji Chang doesn't understand?

However, considering that there are monsters in this world, it is not so strange even if there are immortal cultivators.

Leave it alone.

Shaking his head, Ji Chang collected his thoughts.

Compared to these, improving strength is the most important thing at the moment.

Although he had successfully broken through to the first level, the herbs needed to make the medicinal bath had been almost used up, and it was time to go into the city to buy more medicine.

Of course, in addition to buying medicine, Ji Chang has another option, which is to go into the mountains to collect herbs.

Logically speaking, he is a hunter, so he can collect herbs while hunting in the mountains.

However, Ji Chang's knowledge of medicine was limited. He could make the medicine according to the recipe of Wuyuan Bone Strengthening Soup, but it was difficult for him to identify the medicinal materials and go into the mountains to collect them.

Secondly, there is a huge difference between collecting herbs and buying them. When you buy herbs, you can choose the herbs you need, but when you collect herbs, you may not be able to find the herbs you need.

Therefore, compared to going into the mountains to collect herbs yourself, it is much more convenient to buy herbs directly from a pharmacy.

……

The next morning, Ji Chang went into the mountains again with some dry food.

Ji Chang also wanted to go directly into the city to buy medicine.

But he had no money left, so every time before buying medicine he had to go into the mountains, hunt enough prey, and sell them for money before he could buy medicine.

Half a day passed in a flash.

Somewhere outside Montenegro.

Ji Chang drew his bow and aimed his arrow at a ferocious wild boar with a strong body and dark fur.

The next moment, Ji Chang let go of his hand and the arrow shot towards the wild boar like lightning.

With a "whoosh", the arrow accurately pierced the wild boar's head.

The wild boar fell down, its body twitched violently a few times, and then it stopped moving.

Ji Chang nodded with satisfaction, walked forward, took out a short knife, and started skinning and cutting the meat.

Since his martial arts skills have improved, Ji Chang's efficiency in hunting in the mountains has also increased a lot.

In the past, wild boars could only be hunted with helpers, but now one person can easily deal with them.

However, in order to avoid attracting attention, he deliberately controlled the amount of prey he sold each time he entered the city.

Ji Chang either ate the extra meat himself or made it into jerky and other foods that could be stored for a long time.

After all, as his martial arts skills improved, his appetite inevitably grew.

Coincidentally, the meat obtained from hunting can meet Ji Chang's daily consumption.

This is also the reason why he still makes a living by hunting after practicing martial arts.

Otherwise, he could find a wealthy family in the city and work as a security guard with his kung fu skills.

If he could settle down in the county town, Ji Chang wouldn't have to go through so much trouble buying medicinal herbs.

I have to travel back and forth between the county town and the village every time, and over the years, I can save a lot of city entry fees.

However, Ji Chang also had concerns.

He practiced Eagle Claw Kung Fu, which is the signature martial art of Li Ying, the owner of Black Mountain Martial Arts School.

Ji Chang did not become a disciple at the Black Mountain Martial Arts School, and if the Eagle Claw Kung Fu he secretly learned was exposed in the city, something bad might happen.

Therefore, it would be better to continue staying in the village for a while, until his martial arts skills break through the second level, or even reach the third level.

Make plans again.

Shaking his head, Ji Chang carried the simply processed wild boar meat, left Heishan and walked towards the village.
