Chapter 191: Tomb Search, Hulu Mountain "Golden light?"Chen Xian was stunned. The panel had been glowing light blue before, but this time when [Qingshan Jue] was admitted, it actually showed golden light? After flashing for three breaths, the golden light disappeared. What surprised Chen Xian even more was that the panel changed, and a column appeared behind the martial arts, [Heart Method: Qingshan Jue (Not yet started)] "Mental method? Isn't the Vajra Dragon Ape Skill that I practice a mental method? Isn't the Turtle Breathing Technique a mental method? Why does a separate mental method column appear?" He stared at the panel and muttered to himself. He pondered for a moment, and spent 3 experience points to upgrade the [Qingshan Jue] mental method. The panel displayed directly: [Not enough talent, unable to practice] Chen Xian looked at the glaring eight red words and fell silent instantly! …… Let’s talk about Liu Bingfeng and others. After leaving Liuquan Town in a panic, he hurried back to the county town.
Liu Bingfeng and Liao Huaiyuan asked their subordinates to go back, and they went to the City Lord's Mansion in person. "Did you catch the man?" Cheng Guheng didn't expect the two to come back so soon. Seeing Liu Bingfeng in such a miserable state, he frowned. Liu Bingfeng bowed and told Cheng Guheng about how he was going to capture Chen Xian. He even told Cheng Guheng what Chen Xian had asked him to do. After Cheng Guheng heard this, his face was full of solemnity: "You said he is above the Jade Sea realm? He is a teenager, right?" Liu Bingfeng nodded: "Eighteen or nineteen years old." "Fizz!" Cheng Guheng took a deep breath: "His name is Chen Xian, right?" Liu Bingfeng nodded. Cheng Guheng continued, "Don't go and arrest him yet. Go to the Demon Suppression Department to investigate what evil things Liu Shifu has done during his years as mayor. Find out everything for this city lord." "As for Chen Xian, this city lord will send someone to the county city to inquire." Hearing this, Liu Bingfeng nodded and said, "I also feel that something is not right. With such talent and strength, he must have made great contributions in the Demon Suppression Pass. He cannot be an ordinary person after retiring from the army." Cheng Guheng shook his head: "This city lord has received the news that the Demon Suppression Pass was a great victory, the demon tribe has stopped fighting, and His Majesty has begun to return to the court." "It has only been four or five days since Chen Xian came back. If we calculate the time, it coincides with the victory at the Demon Suppression Pass. He should have returned from the front of the pass ahead of time." "First find out who he is." Liu Bingfeng nodded: "It can only be done this way, but if I were to investigate Liu Shifu, wouldn't the city lord be worried?" Hearing this, Liao Huaiyuan, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Cheng Guheng. Cheng Guheng's eyes shone as he stared at Liu Bingfeng, "What do you mean?" Liu Bingfeng smiled and said, "Nothing special. I just want to ask if the city lord has any special instructions?" How could Cheng Guheng not know what Liu Bingfeng was thinking? He waved his hand and said, "This city lord has nothing special to say. Investigate it thoroughly."
Liu Bingfeng smiled and nodded, then stood up and glanced at Liao Huaiyuan. Liao Huaiyuan just sat there with a calm expression. "I'm leaving!" Liu Bingfeng turned and left. Liao Huaiyuan also stood up and bowed to Cheng Guheng: "I will also take my leave." Cheng Guheng called him: "Huaiyuan, don't leave yet." "What instructions does the City Lord have?" Liao Huaiyuan asked expressionlessly. "Did you see Chen Xian's move clearly?" Cheng Guheng asked. "I saw it clearly, but it's hard to judge his cultivation strength. He should be very strong." Liao Huaiyuan said. Cheng Guheng nodded and immediately said, "I asked you to secretly investigate the leader of the Red Wolf Gang. How is your investigation going?" Liao Huaiyuan's eyes flickered as he said, "My subordinates don't have much experience in tracking people down, but I understand that the Red Wolf Gang has been doing something recently. The leader of the Red Wolf Gang is very mysterious and rarely shows up." "Moreover, the feud between the Red Wolf Gang and the Feng Family is getting more and more serious. Ever since the young master of the Feng Family was beaten by the son of the leader of the Red Wolf Gang some time ago, the Feng Family has threatened to destroy the Red Wolf Gang." Cheng Guheng frowned. He knew everything Liao Huaiyuan said, but he wanted to hear something he didn't know. He asked, "What on earth is the Red Wolf Gang doing in all this mystery?" "I don't know." Liao Huaiyuan shook his head. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Cheng Guheng waved to Liao Huaiyuan, and the latter retreated. Not long after, Cheng Ying came over. "Dad, has Chen Xian been caught?" she asked. Cheng Guheng shook his head, turned around and told someone to ask Zhang Tong to come over. Cheng Ying was surprised: "Liu Bingfeng and Liao Huaiyuan from the Demon Suppression Division attacked together, but they didn't catch anyone?" Cheng Guheng nodded: "The identity of this Chen Xian has yet to be confirmed. He is young and talented, and his strength is also very high. He defeated Liu Bingfeng with one move. It is impossible that he has no reputation at all before the Demon Suppression Pass." "Maybe the news has been passed back to the county city. Dad plans to let Zhang Tong go to the county city again." Cheng Ying's eyes flickered coldly as she said, "Even if he has status, he killed an official of the imperial court and took the lives of hundreds of people. This is a heinous crime!" Cheng Guheng frowned and said, "First find out his identity. If he is confirmed to be an ordinary retired soldier, Dad will have his own way to deal with him." Then he changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Your birthday is in three days. Mr. Zhang has come all the way here, so you have to prepare well." "Okay, Daddy." Cheng Ying nodded. Soon, Zhang Tong arrived. "Sir, are you looking for me?" "Go to the county city as soon as possible and hand my document to the Lord of Shiling City in person." Cheng Guheng handed a written document to Zhang Tong. Zhang Tong took it and was about to leave. He said, "If the Red Wolf Gang intercepts you, you don't have to get involved with them." "I understand." Zhang Tong nodded repeatedly, then bowed and walked away.
Cheng Guheng was sitting at the desk. When he saw Zhang Tong walking away, he opened the drawer, took out a black wooden box and placed it on the table. Then he slowly opened the wooden box. Inside the box was an ancient yellowed leather scroll. He took it out carefully and unfolded the ancient leather scroll. The scroll was not big and was torn. There were mountains and rivers drawn on it. It was obviously a map. There were only two ancient characters on it: Fengyun. Cheng Guheng looked at the map carefully. The leather scroll showed the general topography of Fengyun County. It was rather rough and only showed one-third of the area. Although the other two-thirds of the area were not on the leather scroll, he had been in Fengyun County for so many years that he could still picture it in his mind. But his description was useless. Only by finding the other components of the leather scroll could they truly find the ancient immortal's tomb. Cheng Guheng frowned and stared at the torn map in his hand. He didn't even know how big this leather map was, but the fact that Fengyun County appeared on the map meant that the Immortal Tomb was most likely within the territory of Fengyun County. But over the years, he has made secret investigations and has not found any ancient relics, let alone the tomb of an immortal. After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Guheng put away the scroll, placed it in the black wooden box, then stood up and called the old butler. "Master, are you looking for me?" The old steward of the City Lord's Mansion looked to be in his sixties, but his eyes were not cloudy at all, and were even deep and bright. "How's your secret investigation into the evidence of the Liao family's collusion with the Red Wolf Gang?" he asked with a frown. The old butler said, "Master, the Liao family has always been in collusion with the Red Wolf Gang, but neither of them left any evidence. Unless we catch them in the act, we have to find an opportunity to do that." Cheng Guheng asked, "What kind of activities are the Red Wolf Gang organizing? Do you have any idea?" The old butler lowered his voice and said, "The wolf king behind the Red Wolf Gang is injured. We don't know exactly how injured he is, but we need a lot of blood from living people, and young girls' blood is best. The Red Wolf Gang is secretly arresting people, and more than 30 people have disappeared inexplicably in the past two days." Upon hearing this, Cheng Guheng angrily asked, "Didn't anyone go to the Demon Suppression Bureau to report the case?" The old butler whispered, "Of course there is. I guess Liu Bingfeng accepted the benefits from the Red Wolf Gang and delayed the matter." A hint of coldness flashed across Cheng Guheng's eyes. Liu Bingfeng, that bastard, is not clean himself, yet he dares to cheat him? "How's the search for the ruins going?" he asked. The old butler shook his head: "We found quite a few old tombs, but they were not what the master wanted to find." When Cheng Guheng heard this, disappointment flashed in his eyes. The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, we have been in Fengyun County for almost ten years, and we have found everything we should find. Could it be that the rumor about the Immortal Tomb does not exist?" Cheng Guheng had doubted this before, but he was still very firm now: "It definitely exists. This map was left by the martial immortal Lu Fengtian more than 3,000 years ago. The map he drew was from the Warring States Period, and the map of Fengtian Realm at that time was different from the current one. I got the word "Fengyun" on this fragment. There is only one Fengyun County in the entire Fengtian Realm. Even if the immortal tomb is not within Fengyun County, it is not far from Fengyun County." The old butler nodded: "Then expand the scope?" Cheng Guheng took a deep breath and said, "Do you know why the young lady went to Shiling County this time?" The old housekeeper asked, "Weren't you invited by Master Zhang?" Cheng Guheng sneered, "I don't know where Mr. Zhang got the information that I have the fragments of the map, so he asked Miss to go over to find out the truth." The old housekeeper nodded: "The young lady is smart and will definitely be able to handle it." Cheng Guheng shook his head: "If it had been agreed, Master Zhang would not have come in person to attend the young lady's birthday." The old housekeeper's eyes flickered slightly and asked: "What is the master's plan?"
Cheng Guheng pondered and said nothing. …… During the practice so far, the panel has never shown the phrase "Insufficient qualifications, unable to practice". He consumed another 5 experience points, and the panel still showed the eye-catching red words "Eight Characters". "I can't cultivate my talent, so how did the ancestors of the Chen family cultivate it?" He frowned. Besides, the first level of the mantra is a health-preserving mantra, so how could he not be qualified to cultivate it? After trying several times without figuring it out, Chen Xian did not continue. Instead, he told Chen Rong to memorize the contents of the [Qingshan Jue] formula well. Don't say that the little girl was quite serious. Chen Xian asked Chen Quan to take a closer look, especially the first layer of tone. Chen Quan said that he had seen it a long time ago, and it was useless to remember it because he couldn't practice it. Chen Xian frowned and said nothing more. After lunch, Chen Quan took his brother and sister to see Hulu Mountain. Chen Xian still had a vague memory of Hulu Mountain, so it was fine, so he just went with Chen Quan. As a result, when they arrived outside Hulu Mountain, Chen Xian found that Liu Shijie and his men were looking around at the foot of the mountain. "Chen Xian, what are you doing here?" When Liu Shijie saw Chen Xian, he became extremely jealous as if they were enemies meeting each other, but he couldn't beat Chen Xian, so he could only stare at Chen Xian angrily. "From today on, Hulu Mountain belongs to my Chen family. Take your people and get out." Chen Xian was too lazy to waste time talking to Liu Shijie. Liu Shijie and Liu Shifu are brothers, but Liu Shijie is not necessarily much cleaner than Liu Shifu. "What did you say? Hulu Mountain belongs to the Chen family? You're talking nonsense. This is my Liu family's mountain. You killed my eldest brother and you want to occupy my Liu family's mountain?" Liu Shijie was furious. He brought people to choose a burial site. He was going to bury his eldest brother, sister-in-law, son, Liu Qi and other members of the Liu family here. He didn't expect Chen Xian to come to grab the mountain. "You are talking nonsense. Hulu Mountain has always belonged to my Chen family. It was your Liu family's ancestor Liu Quan who occupied my Chen family's mountain." Chen Quan was furious. He didn't care about other mountains, but he had to take Hulu Mountain back. Those were his father's last words before he died. "My Liu family is the mayor. Is it too much to say that the mountain belongs to my Liu family?" Liu Shijie said angrily. Chen Xian said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense. From today on, Hulu Mountain belongs to my Chen family. If you dare to bury Liu Shifu and others here, don't blame me for digging up their graves and taking out their bodies." "you you……!" Liu Shijie's eyes turned bloodshot with anger: "Chen Xian, you are going too far. Just wait for me. If you kill my eldest brother's family, my son, and take away my Liu family's mountain, you will not die well..." Having said that, Liu Shijie left angrily with his men. After everyone left, Chen Xian began to look around Qinghulu Mountain. I have been here to play when I was a child. At that time, Qinghulu Mountain was very tall. There was fog around the waist of the mountain, and part of it could still be seen. A rough calculation showed that it was about two thousand feet high, making it the highest mountain within a radius of five hundred miles. He scanned the area with his spiritual eyes but did not find anything special on Qinghulu Mountain. However, Qinghulu Mountain is famous for its green gourd vines, on which small green gourds grow.
At this time, Chen Quan was seen kneeling on the ground and worshiping Qinghulu Mountain, muttering something like "May the mountain god bless you." Chen Xian turned around and listened, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Even if there is a mountain god, he is a mountain demon. Back to town. Chen Xian went to prepare a carriage for going to the county town tomorrow. Liu Shifu is dead, but the matter is not over yet. Liu Shifu's hidden account book recorded in detail who he had given gifts to, who he had helped to do evil things for, and all kinds of expenses. After all, without those people from the county town, Liu Shifu would not dare to act arrogantly in the town. That afternoon, Chen Xian discovered that Liu Shijie had hired people to carry more than ten coffins to the foot of another mountain to bury the bodies of Liu Shifu and others at the foot of that mountain. Chen Xian did not stop him. After Liu Shijie buried all the Liu family members, he went to find Liu Shigang. Liu Shigang closed the door and refused to see anyone, which made Liu Shijie so angry that he wanted to hit someone. In fact, the two families are very close. Liu Shijie's father and Liu Shigang's father are cousins. Thirty years ago, Liu Shigang's son followed Liu Shijie to the county town to develop. As a result, Liu Shigang's son was beaten to death because of Liu Shijie, and conflicts arose between the two families. From then on, Liu Shigang was displeased with everything Liu Shifu and his brother did, but he only had a little prestige in the town and could not fight against the two brothers, so he had to swallow his anger. Brother Liu Shifu also knew that they had let Liu Shigang down, so they didn't cause trouble for Liu Shigang and even helped him, but Liu Shigang didn't appreciate it. "The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. God will not spare a single evildoer!" In the main room, Liu Shigang said coldly. In the evening, he personally went to find Chen Xian with the book of Liu Shifu's crimes. There are thousands of fingerprints of townspeople on the indictment, which shows that Liu Shigang still has a good prestige in Zhenshan, and many townspeople cooperated with him personally. Of course, the townspeople also knew about Liu Shifu’s crimes, hated them deeply, and would definitely help Liu Shigang. "Mr. Chen, everyone in the town has put their fingerprints on the document, except for those who work outside the town," said Liu Shigang. Chen Xian nodded and said, "What about the messenger?" Liu Shigang said, "I have personally asked, and the town's messengers have never seen the money you sent back. They said it looked like what was sent from the county town, so they sent it back to your house." Chen Xian said nothing. If the people in the town did not do anything, then the courier from the county town must have embezzled the money. It is said that if a courier embezzles other people's money or alters other people's letters, it is a serious crime punishable by death of three generations of his clan, especially if he embezzles and alters the letters of soldiers at the border. "Okay, go ahead and just go home and wait for news." Chen Xian waved to Liu Shigang. Liu Shigang glanced at the carriage road outside and said, "Mr. Chen, are you planning to leave Liuquan Town?" "Yes, we will go to the county town tomorrow."
Chen Xian nodded and suddenly said, "From today on, Liuquan Town will return to its name of three hundred years ago, Qingshan Town. From now on, you are not allowed to change it." "Qingshan Town?" Liu Shigang was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered something, and nodded repeatedly: "Just do as Master Chen said, and change it to Qingshan Town." The next day. May 29th. As soon as it was daybreak, Chen Xian asked his sister and father to pack their things. Actually, there was not much to pack, and they got on a carriage to Fengyun County. It was her first time riding in a carriage, and the little girl was quite excited. She moved around in the carriage, sometimes lifting the curtain to look outside, and sometimes lifting the door curtain and smilingly said to Chen Xian: "Brother, do you think Sister Yujiao will be surprised to see us riding in a carriage to find her?" "meeting!" Chen Xian smiled helplessly, patted Fenglei Wuju's butt, and told it to go faster. "Chen Xian, are you guys leaving?" Chen Xian didn't want to see the townspeople, but he found that they got up so early. Soon he saw Liu Shigang again and immediately understood. Liu Shigang must have informed every household that Chen Xian was going to the county town. The townspeople also got up early, and when they saw Chen Xian driving the carriage, they all came out to see him off. "Nephew Chen Xian!" Behind him, Wang Cheng and his wife chased after him, throwing rice dumplings and eggs into Chen Xian's hands. Chen Xian stopped the carriage and glanced at the couple: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, you can go back." "Nephew, are you coming back?" "Come back, uncle. I just want to take my dad out to see a doctor." Chen Xian said with a smile. "Yes, yes, yes, we should take a look." Wang Cheng nodded repeatedly and said awkwardly: "My nephew, my son, my son Wang Ming is too ignorant and offended you. I will apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't forget it." Chen Xian's smile disappeared from his face, and he nodded, "Uncle Wang, I don't worry about it." At this time, Aunt Wang kept looking inside the carriage, probably at her sister, but she also knew that after Wang Ming and the Chen family had made a fuss, they could no longer talk about marriage. She sighed in her heart, thinking that such a good daughter-in-law was ruined by her. "My dear nephew, once your father's illness is cured, bring your father and your sister back home as soon as possible. It's more comfortable for them to live in our town. They will definitely not be used to living outside." Aunt Wang said with an awkward smile. "Okay, Aunt Wang, you can go back with uncle." Chen Xian smiled and drove away in the carriage. Liu Shigang brought his men to the town entrance to see them off, and accompanied them for several miles. Ma San from the Red Wolf Gang was also in the crowd. He watched Chen Xian's carriage leave with a cold light in his eyes. …… (End of this chapter)
