I can push my cultivation progress to the end

Under the slow narration of the ghost Qiu Fangzheng, Li Hai gradually learned the truth.

It turned out that the other party had already been dead for several decades.

Back then, Qiu Fangzheng was just a small peddler in Niujiao Town when he encountered a tragic event in his life.

His father, after years of overwork, unfortunately passed away.

Although saddened, Qiu Fangzheng, as the eldest son, naturally had to take on the responsibility of handling his father's funeral arrangements.

Therefore, he inevitably had to deal with the Zhou family.

Because in Niujiao Town, the Zhou family monopolized all the weddings and funerals in the town.

Marriages could not be held without the Zhou family's consent, nor could funerals be held.

If anyone dared to secretly marry and was discovered by the Zhou family, they would be arrested and charged with adultery, then stuffed into a pig cage and thrown into the river to be drowned alive.

Funerals were the same.

If anyone dared to secretly dig a grave and bury a corpse and was discovered by the Zhou family, they would claim that it had ruined the feng shui of the Wubao and dig up the buried corpse, abandoning it in the wilderness for wild animals to devour.

And whether it was a funeral or a wedding, there was only one way to get the Zhou family's consent—pay money.

But coincidentally, the Zhou family member who came to Qiu Fangzheng's house that day took a fancy to his younger sister at first sight.

So this Zhou family member named Zhou Yugen hinted to Qiu Fangzheng that if he let his younger sister accompany him on a trip for two days, his father's funeral expenses could be waived.

Qiu Fangzheng naturally refused this disgusting request, and Zhou Yugen just smiled and left on his own.

Then that night, bandits broke into Qiu Fangzheng's house.

Not only was Qiu Fangzheng himself beaten, but the money he had worked so hard to borrow was also robbed, and even his younger sister was kidnapped.

Before leaving, the bandits also left a message: "If only you had known this earlier."

This sentence made Qiu Fangzheng immediately realize that the instigator of his current plight must be Zhou Yugen.

Without considering so much, he went to the Zhou family that night like a madman to settle the score.

As a result, after arriving at the Zhou family's mansion, Zhou Yugen did not admit to this matter at all, and even said that Qiu Fangzheng was slandering him, and had the guards in the mansion beat him out with clubs.

After being beaten again, Qiu Fangzheng returned home dejectedly, and saw a letter in his dilapidated home, which said that if he wanted to find his younger sister, he should come to Yupan Mountain.

"Yupan Mountain?"

Li Hai asked, "Is that the mountain we are on now?"

Qiu Fangzheng nodded slowly: "Yes… it is…"

"Then what happened next?" Li Hai continued, "Were you killed by them in this mountain?"

Qiu Fangzheng nodded again, and then continued to tell the story.

After reading this letter that year, in great anxiety, he left home without顾及 and went all the way towards Yupan Mountain.

In this way, after rushing all night, Qiu Fangzheng finally arrived at the foot of Yupan Mountain near dawn.

But it was dark and empty there, and there was no one there, except for a few bird calls.

With no other choice, Qiu Fangzheng could only choose to enter the mountain.

But as soon as he entered the mountain, he was ambushed.

In the chaos, Qiu Fangzheng didn't know how many people there were at all, and he couldn't see who the people who came were.

After that, Qiu Fangzheng was beaten half to death after his tendons were cut off, and was thrown by a stream in the deep mountains.

In the end, Qiu Fangzheng was cruelly eaten by a pack of wild wolves in the mountains on the bank of this stream, and died with hatred.

"I… don't hate… the wolves."

Qiu Fangzheng's lower jaw slowly opened and closed, "I only hate… Zhou Yugen."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly got up and knelt in front of Li Hai, begging:

"Sir, I know… you are omnipotent, I beg you… help me avenge my revenge."

As if afraid that Li Hai would refuse, Qiu Fangzheng immediately threw out his bargaining chip after he finished speaking:

"I… have been wandering… in Yupan Mountain for decades… I discovered… an ancient sect relic… deep in this mountain…"

Li Hai interrupted: "Are you trying to say that if I help you avenge your revenge, you will tell me the location of this relic, right?"

Qiu Fangzheng nodded: "Yes… there are… gold and silver… precious pills… divine weapons… cultivation methods… in the relic…"

"Very tempting, but ~"

Li Hai asked, "If I find the relic on my own, what will you do?"

"You… can't… find it."

Qiu Fangzheng shook his head, "That relic… was… an earthquake… that sank deep into the ground… the mountain closed… no road… no cave… can lead to the relic… only… a winding path… only… I know."

"Are you saying that ~"

Li Hai said, "This relic was crushed at the bottom of the entire Yupan Mountain because of an earthquake, and there is only one road that can lead to it, and only you know this road."

"Not crushed…"

Qiu Fangzheng corrected, "It was an earthquake… that made this mountain crack its mouth… swallowed the sect… fell into the ground… and became a relic."

"Strange, how do you know so clearly?"

Li Hai asked strangely, "Could it be that this sect was eaten by Yupan Mountain in front of your eyes, and then fell into the ground?"

To this question, Qiu Fangzheng replied: "I… once entered the relic… there are people from this sect… leaving inscriptions… it is written on it… they died in… the Da Xuan years."

"The Da Xuan years?"

Li Hai looked dumbfounded, "What is this? Is it a reign title?"

"I… didn't know… before."

Qiu Fangzheng said intermittently, "Later… over the decades… asking others… constantly… gradually knowing… Da Xuan… was the dynasty before… Da Jing… the Jing Dynasty… lasted for a thousand years… so the Da Xuan… this sect's relic… is over a thousand years old."

"The Da Jing Dynasty has been around for a thousand years?!"

Li Hai was even more dumbfounded when he heard this.

What is the concept of a feudal dynasty that has lasted for at least a thousand years?

In his hometown's five thousand years of history, there has never been such a dynasty.

So for a time, Li Hai didn't know which dynasty he could compare it to, and could only sigh "Awesome."

"Okay."

Li Hai leisurely came back to his senses and said, "I'll help you."

Qiu Fangzheng kowtowed to the ground again.

"Then how do you want me to help you?"

Li Hai asked again, "Is it just to kill Zhou Yugen, or to kill the entire Zhou family?"

"Kill Zhou Yugen."

Qiu Fangzheng said gloomily, "The other… Zhou family members… are up to… your will."

"Okay."

Li Hai nodded, "I understand."

"Also…"

Qiu Fangzheng raised his skeletal face and begged, "Sir… please help me find out… the whereabouts of my younger sister…"

"Alas ~"

Li Hai shook his head and sighed, "But, it's been decades, this… …"

He didn't continue with the next sentence, it was too cruel.

"But I…"

Qiu Fangzheng still said, "I just want to know… my sister's whereabouts."

"Okay."

Li Hai nodded, "I will help you investigate."

"Thank you, sir!"

Qiu Fangzheng kowtowed heavily, with a series of loud bangs, "Thank you… thank you, sir!"
