A seal of immortality

Chapter 319
The Tiger-killing Mountain Range was originally called the Tiger Mountain Range, and there are often tigers infesting and killing many passers-by. It is a famously dangerous place. Later, a general who led the army passed by here. The soldiers surrounded and suppressed the evil tigers, and killed dozens of evil tigers. Since then, there have been no more evil tigers hurting people, and the Tiger Mountain Range has also been changed to the Tiger Killing Mountain Range.

The mountain where the general was stationed was renamed Killing Tiger Mountain, and the village backed by Killing Tiger Mountain was also renamed Killing Tiger Village.

According to the business travellers who pass by Shahu Village every year, if you leave the village, you only need to go east and cross 36 mountains to enter Yuanzhou.

Therefore, after leaving Tiger Killing Village, Wang Changsheng and the other five rode their horses eastward without stopping.

Five hours later, the five people reined in their horses and stopped. There was a three-way intersection more than ten meters in front of them. Each passage was very long, and they didn't know where they led. There were towering cliffs on both sides of the passage.

"According to the villagers, if you encounter a three-way intersection, you should take the middle passage," Wang Changsheng said, pointing to the middle passage.

"Then let's go quickly! While it's still early, let's go a little longer," the man in blue nodded, and immediately slammed the whip on the horse's buttocks. The horse, suffering from pain, immediately rushed to the middle passage go.

Seeing this situation, Wang Changsheng and the others also flicked their whips one after another, letting the steeds under them run towards the passage in the middle.

Not long after, Wang Changsheng's five men reined in their horses and stopped. A few tens of meters in front of them, there was a huge boulder three to four meters high, blocking their way.

The boulder didn't completely block the passage, but still left a small space, which is no problem for a person to pass by.

"I'll go and see if the road behind can be walked. If we can, let's get off our horses and walk over!" The man in blue left a word and rode his horse towards the boulder.

After arriving in front of the boulder, the man in blue got off his horse and walked through the small space left by the boulder.

Not long after, the man in blue came back, shook his head, and said, "The road ahead is blocked by a few boulders. It seems that we have to change the road."

"Diversion? We are not familiar with the terrain here, which passage should we go? If we go wrong, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi frowned and said hesitantly.

"There is nothing we can do if we go wrong. The road ahead is blocked. We may be able to climb over, but the horses have to be discarded, but the road ahead is still long. If we abandon the horses, our speed will only be [-]%. It will be slower," said the man in blue helplessly.

"Since that's the case, let's get out first!" Wang Changsheng suggested.

The four of Chen Qiusheng nodded and did not object.

When the five returned to Sanchakou, they looked at the passages on the left and right, but they couldn't make a choice immediately. They didn't know where the two passages led. They didn't have a specific topographic map. Once they went the wrong way, A lot of time will be wasted, and even life-threatening is not impossible.

"Which passage do you think we should take?" the man in blue asked in a deep voice, resting his chin with one hand.

"We don't know the way either, why don't we go back to the village and ask the villagers!" The man in Tsing Yi suggested after a little thought.

"No, it's already past noon now. If we go back to ask for directions, we will definitely spend the night in the village. If the villagers know which way to go, it's fine. If they don't, then we will waste our day." Chen Qiusheng thought about it carefully, shook his head, and rejected the proposal.

"Xiang Qiusheng is right, why don't we choose a passage at random! The worst thing is to hurry up and reduce the rest time," the young man in Confucian shirt nodded and suggested.

"Brother Changsheng, what do you think?" the man in blue thought for a while and asked Wang Changsheng.

"Well, let's do this! My horse runs faster. I'll take a look at the passage on the left. If the passage on the left is easy, we will take the passage on the left. If it is not easy, we will take the passage on the right. You guys How do you feel?" Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, then said.

"Well, let me see it this way! Brother Changsheng, go to the passage on the left, and I'll go to the one on the right. It will save time," the man in blue thought for a while and suggested.

Regarding this, Chen Qiusheng and the others had no opinion.

Anyway, if you don't know which way is right, then choose the passage that is easy to walk.

Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Next, Wang Changsheng and the man in blue whipped their horses and ran towards the left and right passages respectively, while Chen Qiusheng and the others stayed where they were.

A quarter of an hour later, the man in blue returned to Sanchakou.

"Brother Wencai, how about the passage you are taking?" The man in blue asked impatiently when he saw the man in blue.

"It's okay, the road is flat and easy to walk on. I wonder how Brother Changsheng is?" The man in blue nodded and replied truthfully.

"Brother Changsheng hasn't come back yet, we won't know until he comes back, if Brother Changsheng finds it difficult to walk that way, let's take the passage on the right!" The man in Tsing Yi said slowly.

Not long after, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Wang Changsheng appeared in the line of sight of the four of them.

"Brother Changsheng, how is it?" The man in Tsing Yi asked impatiently when he saw Wang Changsheng.

"The road is very flat, let's take this road!" Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

"Brother Wencai walked on a smooth road," the man in Tsing Yi said hesitantly, frowning.

"Look at what this is." Wang Changsheng took out a piece of coarse cloth, opened it, and saw that it was a lump of yellow stuff exuding a stench.

"This is..." The four men in Tsing Yi looked at me and I at you, but none of them recognized what Wang Changsheng was holding.

"Horse manure, there are a lot of horse manure in the passage on the left, and there are some traces of wheels running over it. If I guessed correctly, there should be businessmen and tourists walking through the passage on the left. Let's take the passage on the left. ,” Wang Changsheng said confidently.

Of course, Wang Changsheng was not talking nonsense. He ran far away just now, took a picture of the flying talisman, and flew high in the sky. After careful inspection, he found that he could walk north along the passage on the left, and he could walk out of the Tiger-killing Mountain Range.

As for the passage on the right, although it is possible to get out of the Tiger-killing Mountain Range, the journey is relatively long. If you take the passage on the right, it may take an extra day or two to get out of the Tiger-killing Mountain Range.

"In this case, let's take the passage on the left!" The man in blue nodded in agreement.

Chen Qiusheng and the other three had no objection to this, so the five whipped their horses and ran towards the passage on the left.

The four of Chen Qiusheng found out that what Wang Changsheng said was true. There were indeed a lot of horse feces in the passage on the left, and there were also some traces of wheels running over them.

At this moment, the worry in Chen Qiusheng's four people's hearts completely disappeared, and they rode forward with confidence.

Three hours later, when the sky began to darken, Wang Changsheng and the other five appeared in an abandoned earthen temple, and set up a pile of firewood to drive away the cold air.

"Clean up, I'll go hunt some prey and come back," Wang Changsheng said before leaving the earth temple.

After leaving the earth temple, Wang Changsheng took a picture of the flying talisman for himself. With a flash of blue light, a pair of blue wings suddenly grew out from behind. The dense forest flew away.

After reaching a height of seventy to eighty feet above the dense forest, Wang Changsheng let go of his consciousness and swept down.

Not long after, Wang Changsheng withdrew his consciousness and raised his eyebrows. He didn't even sense the breath of a living creature. He shook his head, and the blue wings on his back lightly flapped, and flew in another direction.

While Wang Changsheng was flying, his consciousness kept sweeping downwards, but he didn't find the breath of a living creature. It stands to reason that this place is deep in the mountains and old forests. Not to mention tigers, black bears and other large beasts, wild boars and rabbits must be there!

But he walked around for half an hour, and he didn't even see a hare, which was too unbelievable.

After a little thought, Wang Changsheng released the two bloodthirsty spirit bats and gave them an order to help them find two prey.

Two bloodthirsty spirit bats made strange chirping noises, flapped their wings, and flew towards a certain dense forest in the distance.

Wang Changsheng didn't follow either, and just waited in place.

A quarter of an hour later, two bloodthirsty spirit bats flew back, chattering non-stop, as if they had found something.

"Take me," Wang Changsheng ordered to the two bloodthirsty spirit bats.

The two bloodthirsty spirit bats seemed to have understood Wang Changsheng's order, and after chirping a few times, they flapped their wings and flew in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Wang Changsheng flapped the green wings on his back lightly, and chased after him.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared above a large lake. Looking down, he could see several fat black wild boars drinking water by the lake.

Wang Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, raised his right hand, and a golden light flashed out, heading straight for a small black wild boar below.

With a scream, the golden light pierced through the head of the little wild boar, and the little wild boar immediately fell to the ground.

This change frightened the wild boars who were drinking water. They moved their limbs and quickly ran into the dense forest not far away.

Wang Changsheng's expression changed, and a bloodthirsty spirit bat flapped its wings and flew towards the fallen wild boar. After grabbing the little wild boar's body, the bloodthirsty spirit bat flew back to Wang Changsheng's side.

The blue wings on Wang Changsheng's back flicked lightly, and he flew in the direction he came. Two bloodthirsty spirit bats hurriedly followed.

After a while, Wang Changsheng appeared seventy or eighty feet above the earth temple.

When his consciousness swept down, he frowned.

After Wang Changsheng thought about it, he slowly landed on the ground, followed by two bloodthirsty spirit bats, and threw the little wild boar's body to the ground.

"Come back," Wang Changsheng patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and the two bloodthirsty spirit bats immediately turned into two black smoke and flew back into the spirit beast bag.

Wang Changsheng dragged the little wild boar's body into the earthen temple.

At this time, the four of Chen Qiusheng surrounded the firewood, talking with several men dressed as scholars, talking and laughing, and seemed to get along very well.

In addition to Chen Qiusheng, there were four more scholars in the earth temple, but they were not mortals, but cultivators of immortality.

The two middle-aged men are at the late stage of foundation establishment, and the two young men are at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

"Hey, brother Changsheng is back, and he even shot a wild boar," Chen Qiusheng said with a little surprise.

"Well, these people are..."

"Several of us Haoran Academy students passed by here and walked in when they saw the fire here. The prince won't blame him!" A white-faced, beardless middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"How could it be! It's fate to meet each other, so there's nothing to blame, but this is the first time I've heard the name of Haoran Academy," the young man in Confucian shirt asked curiously.

"Haoran Academy is just a small academy in our hometown. It's normal that Mr. Han has never heard of it, but we believe that Mr. Wang must have heard of it, right! Mr. Wang," said a short and fat man with a round face with a half-smile .

"Of course I've heard it, it's really just a small academy," Wang Changsheng nodded and said calmly.

"Oh, haven't you asked what sect the prince is from?" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the round-faced man, and he asked curiously.

"Don't dare to take it, it's just a small sect," Wang Changsheng shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

Hearing this, the round-faced man frowned.

"Zhao Gan, Zhao Kun, you two go and dispose of the dead boar," the middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then ordered the two young men beside him.

The two young men responded, got up immediately and walked towards Wang Changsheng, took the wild boar's body from Wang Changsheng's hand, and they carried the wild boar's body and walked out.

"How embarrassing! Let's help too," the man in blue and the man in green followed and walked out after seeing this.

"Brother Changsheng, sit down and rest for a while," Chen Qiusheng called Wang Changsheng to sit down beside the firewood pile.

The round-faced man glanced at Wang Changsheng, nodded at the middle-aged man, and then started talking with Chen Qiusheng.

Wang Changsheng nodded, walked over and sat down. As soon as he sat down, a voice transmission from a middle-aged man sounded in his ear:
"I'm Zhao Ming at Haoran Academy, I don't know what sect Wang Daoyou is from."

"I have no sect or sect, I'm just a casual cultivator," Wang Changsheng replied via voice transmission.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked via voice transmission: "Since Fellow Daoist Wang doesn't want to reveal his sect, I don't want to force you, but there is something I hope you can do." Answer truthfully," at the end, a serious look appeared on his face.

"Oh? What's the matter, please tell Fellow Daoist Zhao clearly," Wang Changsheng raised his brows when he heard the words, and said through voice transmission calmly.

"Several disciples of our Haoran Academy have disappeared here, three men and two women. I wonder if Wang Daoyou has seen them," the middle-aged man asked through sound transmission with a solemn face.

Wang Changsheng thought about it carefully, shook his head, and the voice transmission replied: "No, I just came here today, and I stayed in a small village outside the mountains yesterday. I think Daoist Zhao asked Qiusheng and them just now, so I should know that I am not lying. .”
