Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 256 Earth Immortal
"An accident? What happened?" Li Dafu immediately asked nervously.

Butler Li came here in such a hurry, if something happened, it must be quite serious, if it was a trivial matter, Butler Li would not come to report it in person.

"Back to the master, didn't the master order to build a granary a few days ago?" Li Butler said: "But not long after the ground was broken today, something happened. I heard that people were killed at the place where the construction was started. The master still Hurry up and take a look, the specific old slave also doesn’t know very clearly, I’d better listen to the foreman running over to tell me.”

"There is such a thing?" Li Dafu suddenly said in shock: "Quick, my son will come with my father to have a look."

A human life is a very important event no matter what era it is.

The Li family is a family of merchants, so they care more about this.

Outside the city of Guobei County, there is a small mound not far away. Because of the high terrain here, it was selected as one of the locations where the Li family built a granary.

Originally, the ground-breaking construction started today, but not long after the construction, the small hill suddenly cracked open, as if an earthquake had occurred, the frightened workers were terrified, screaming and fleeing, and accompanied by the previous violent sound With the shaking, huge gaps were opened on the ground of the hill, and each gap was four or five feet wide, enough to fit a person.

And because of the appearance of this huge ground seam, several of the workers accidentally fell into the ground seam.

The fissure in the ground is extremely deep, and I don't know where it leads. I only know that if people stand next to it, they can feel a cool cold wind blowing out, whining.

It seems that there seems to be a hole in the sky.

"Was that shock coming from here?" At this moment, Li Dafu, Li Xiuyuan and some guards from the Li family rushed over.

When everyone came here, they were surprised when they saw the huge cracks on the ground.

But what is even more surprising is the peculiarity of this crack.

The depth is bottomless, it doesn't look like it was shaken by an earthquake, but it seems to exist naturally.

"How many people fell?" Li Dafu hurriedly asked the foreman.

The foreman replied: "Four workers fell into the cracks in the ground."

"How could such a thing happen?" Li Xiuyuan said; "Did you touch something that shouldn't be touched?"

This world is full of mysteries. It is not uncommon for ordinary people to fall into taboos and cause inexplicable disasters if they are not careful.

The foreman looked a little evasively and said, "A few workers dug up a big vat while digging the soil. Those workers may have suspected that there was a treasure hidden in it, so they took a hoe and broke a piece of the vat body. Immediately there was a loud bang, and then the ground shook, and then cracks appeared on the ground, and they fell into the cracks."

"Where is the tank?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"It's in the raised place in front." The foreman pointed to a place where the ground was broken.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Father, my son, go and have a look, maybe some evil thing is causing trouble again."

"My son, don't be reckless. Since this place is inauspicious, we might as well choose another piece of land. Let's leave this place alone, and don't care if there are any evil or not." Li Dafu said.

A piece of wasteland is a big deal, it is not a very important thing.

On the contrary, it would be a very bad thing if something evil was really provoked because of this matter.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Father, I don't know if there is something evil here, but since there is such a commotion, if you don't check it out, it may happen again. Now that you have found it, you can't ignore it."

"You can send guards, and the servants will go over and investigate, my son doesn't need to do it himself." Li Dafu said, and motioned to the guards around him after speaking.

The guard nodded and Dang even wanted to go to investigate.

However, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to stop it: "If there is something evil, the guards will go over to investigate, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous. How about this, the child will go with the guards, so that we can have someone to take care of us."

He is not close to ghosts and gods, so naturally he is not afraid of any evil things.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for his father's consent, he waved his hand to signal five or six guards, and then walked towards the small raised mound.

"My son, be careful." Li Dafu hurriedly called out.

"Eldest young master, just leave this matter to the younger one and others, and you can just rest here." A guard said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This time the commotion is a bit big, I'm afraid it's something serious, it's better to go and have a look, otherwise I won't be at ease."

When everyone walked over, they found that there was indeed a large vat in the small raised mound.

The big vat looks very old, with a history of many years, and the style is a bit quaint, not modern goods.

So it can be seen that this big tank has a history of at least several hundred years, and maybe even farther.

The big vat was placed upside down, and there was a gap in the body of the vat, and there were hoes piled up next to it, which were broken by a hoe.

"Break that vat and see what's in it," Li Xiuyuan said.

To be on the safe side, he untied the jade belt around his waist and let the aura cover it. If there is really a demon, then he can also block the demon's morality and magic power, making it lose the ability to do evil. If there is an evil spirit hiding in the tank If it is, then it can also be expelled in time, ensuring that the people in the past will no longer have any life-threatening dangers.

The guard responded, pulled out his waist knife and walked over cautiously.

I slashed several times on the body of the vat, and with a final bang, the large vat immediately shattered into pieces.

However, the scene inside the tank surprised Li Xiuyuan and the guards.

There is actually a person sitting cross-legged in the tank, an old man wearing gorgeous clothes, hair hanging down, and covered in dust. The old man looks gray-haired, but in fact he looks only 40 to [-] years old, not particularly old kind of.

In addition, the man's hands were hanging on his legs, with long nails on them, as if they hadn't been trimmed for many years, they were all rolled up.

"Young master, it's a dead body." The guard said after recovering his composure after being frightened.

Li Xiuyuan glared at him and said: "There is no dead body that has been kept here for so many years without decomposing, and you can see that the person's complexion is still full of blood, and it doesn't look like a dead person at all."

Not a dead person, but neither a demon nor a ghost.

Is it a zombie?
But instead he shook his head, it wouldn't be a zombie, that's not what a zombie looks like.

Just when he was guessing, suddenly.

The old man sitting cross-legged in the tank suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "What year and month is it now? Which dynasty is it?"

Although he opened his eyes, he remained motionless, like a wood carving.

"It's the Song Dynasty now. I don't know which dynasty this old man is from?" Li Xiuyuan walked over, bowed and said.

Judging from the old man's tone and clothes, he is an ancient man, not a man from this recent dynasty.

The old man asked again: "Which dynasty is the Song Dynasty? How long is it from the Han Dynasty?"

"It's been more than 1000 years." Li Xiuyuan said.

"More than 1000 years? That's really a long time." The old man seemed to have memories, and it was obvious from his words that it was not difficult to deduce that this was an ancient man from the Han Dynasty.

As for why this person was dug out while sitting in a large vat, it is not known.

"Why did you dig me out before I was born?" The old man suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "I am a Taoist in the Han Dynasty. The method of the Earth Immortal, as long as the merits and virtues are perfect, you can achieve the underground position, but you dug it out in advance before today, ruining my chance to become an Earth Immortal."

"Break ground to build a granary, and accidentally dug out the Taoist priest. It was really unintentional." Li Xiuyuan saluted and apologized.

The old man didn't seem to be angry, but asked, "What are you doing digging the granary?"

"Hoarding food."

"Why hoard? Do you want to sell at a high price in times of disaster?" the old man asked.

"No, it's for disaster relief and people relief." Li Xiuyuan said.

The old man sighed and said: "Your words are very sincere, not a lie, so it is a good thing for you to build a granary here today, and you will live countless lives in the future, and your merits will be immeasurable. I really don't want to revenge you. It seems that my road to immortality It's come to an end."
