A seal of immortality

Chapter 301 Chen Qiusheng

One month later, in Linjiang County, Jiangzhou, beside the Bailong River outside Linjiang City.

It was just dawn, the sky was still gray, and a thin white mist rose all around. Several men stood at the river crossing, waiting for the boat to arrive.

These men all looked relatively young, four of them had bookish faces, and a tall man in blue was holding a folding fan with a landscape painting painted on it.

The four men were all carrying bags, and they seemed to be out of the house. A young man in white with ordinary facial features stood in front of the four of them.

The young man in white stood with his hands empty, and looked calmly at the river covered by the fog, as if he was waiting for something.

"Brother Changsheng, don't look any further. I've asked people about it. The boatman will only appear at Chenshi, and now it's half an hour away from Chenshi. If you look at it, the boatman won't appear," the tall man in blue said with a smile.

Hearing this, the young man in white turned his head and smiled at the young man in blue, and said, "I'm not like the four Wencai brothers who have read poetry and books, but I don't know anything about poetry and prose. It's the scenery on the river that attracts me more. Let's talk about you." Yes, leave me alone," he said, turning his head away, staring at the white mist on the river.

Hearing this, the young man in blue smiled wryly, shook his head, and said nothing more.

"Forget it! Brother Wencai, please spare Brother Changsheng! Brother Changsheng loves martial arts very much, and is not interested in the poems and poems of us literati. How about the four of you and me composing a poem together with this scene in front of us," A short and fat man in Tsing Yi proposed.

"Forget it! I only fell asleep at Yinshi when I was studying my homework yesterday, and I was woken up by Brother Han Ming at Maoshi. I am very sleepy, and I really don't have the mood to recite poems." A young man in yellow shirt with good facial features yawned and shook his head. The proposal of the man in Tsing Yi was rejected.

"Ahem, Brother Qiusheng, don't blame me. Aren't you worried about missing the imperial examination every three years? The four of you and I finally got the qualifications to participate in the capital examination. We should arrive in the capital early. After all, we were imprisoned by bandits for a while , if you don’t hurry up, I’m afraid you’ll miss the test, and by that time, you and I will become the jokes of everyone in Yanzhou,” a fair-faced young man in Confucian shirts explained with a mocking smile.

"Hmph, speaking of it, I blame those bandits. If it weren't for Brother Changsheng, the four of you and I would still be trapped in the dungeon! Not to mention taking part in the imperial examination, it would be hard to see the light of day again," the man in blue snorted softly, a little dissatisfied Said.

"That is, if I come to Japan to be released as an official, I must arrest all the bandits in my jurisdiction and execute them all as a warning to others. I see if there is anyone who dares to be a bandit," the man in Tsing Yi nodded. , said murderously, the words were full of hatred for bandits.

"Just grab them and beat them with a board! There's no need to kill them all. Be careful that they turn into ghosts and demand your life in the middle of the night," the young man in the yellow shirt shook his head and said seriously.

"Haha, dear brother Qiusheng, you are here again, and you are going to talk about the female ghost you met when you were young! The story of ghosts and gods is just a fool of those storytellers, so it can't be true," the man in Tsing Yi laughed, disbelief. Said carelessly, a look of contempt quickly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"That's right! Brother Qiu Sheng, what Wen Xuan said is correct. The theory of ghosts and gods cannot be taken as true. After all, you were young at that time. Maybe it was just a nightmare after being fooled by a storyteller. There is no need to keep thinking about it. You I said before that Brother Changsheng was the immortal who killed the female ghost, but Brother Changsheng also said that he has never been to the Chenjia Village where you lived when you were young," the young man in Confucian shirt nodded and said slowly.

Hearing this, the young man in yellow gave a wry smile and didn't say anything more, but when his eyes moved to the young man in white in front, there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.

The young man in white listened to the conversation of the four, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The young man in white was none other than Wang Changsheng.

After leaving the Guangyang Mountains, Wang Changsheng traveled all the way to Jiangzhou. On the way, he met four men in blue clothes who were hunted down by bandits.

The four men in blue clothes were scholars who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. They happened to meet bandits. Not only were they robbed of all their belongings, but they were also caught in the stockade by the bandits and locked in the dungeon. Only the servants of the four of them were released. Go back and demand a ransom.

While the guard was drunk, the four snatched the key from the guard, opened the cell door and ran away, but were discovered by other bandits, who sent people to hunt them down. While fleeing, they met Wang Changsheng.

Normally, Wang Changsheng would be too lazy to meddle in ordinary people's business, but he found an acquaintance among the four of them——Chen Qiusheng, the kid who served him chicken soup in Chenjia Village back then.

When they left Chenjiacun, Wang Changsheng gave Chen Qiusheng the Guanyin jade pendant given by his father. I don't know how Chen Qiusheng hid it, but the Guanyin jade pendant was not searched by bandits. It happened that Wang Changsheng saw the Guanyin jade pendant hanging on Chen Qiusheng's chest.

If it wasn't for the ancestral storage bag obtained from Chen Qiusheng's grandfather back then, relying on the belongings inside, Wang Changsheng might not have been able to enter the Taiqing Palace. Therefore, Wang Changsheng has always wanted to repay Chen Qiusheng's family.

After Wang Changsheng returned to Ningzhou, he went to Chenjia Village, but was told by the villagers that Chen Qiusheng's family had moved out. As for where they moved, no one knew.

Wang Changsheng thought he would never meet Chen Qiusheng again, but unexpectedly he met Chen Qiusheng in Yanzhou.

Since Chen Qiusheng was kind to him, Wang Changsheng would naturally not stand idly by, but he didn't want to reveal his identity as a cultivator, so he used black gold needles to kill those bandits. They were surprised by the strength of killing more than a dozen bandits, but Wang Changsheng made up a reason at random, and they didn't doubt it.

Afterwards, Wang Changsheng inquired about Chen Qiusheng's background, and found that Chen Qiusheng was indeed the little boy back then.

Knowing that Wang Changsheng was going to the capital, the four were overjoyed and invited Wang Changsheng to go with them. Obviously, they were afraid of encountering bandits again. After all, there was still a long way to go to the capital. If Wang Changsheng went on the road together, their There is one more guarantee for safety.

For this, Wang Changsheng did not refuse. He originally planned to go to Jiangzhou to take a boat to the capital.

Although more than ten years had passed, Wang Changsheng was a cultivator of immortals, and his aging speed was relatively slow. This caused Chen Qiusheng to recognize Wang Changsheng as the immortal who killed ghosts when he saw him.

Although Wang Changsheng tried his best not to do so, Chen Qiusheng still didn't quite believe it. From time to time, he would open his mouth to test Wang Changsheng. After several times of probing and failing to get a satisfactory answer, Chen Qiusheng gave up.

Because of this, Chen Qiusheng was ridiculed by his three companions.
