The first time he heard the word "living immortal", Jin Tiaojiang didn't pay too much attention to it. Although he kept the copper plate in his hand, he just didn't want to disobey Xiao Xu's enthusiasm. Although hearing this for the second time was just a coincidence, Jin Tiaojiang felt something was wrong in his heart, as if all this was an arrangement!
When he handed over the copper plate to get the answer from Jia Lihu, the result made him feel a little disappointed. However, after all, the matter was not forced, so Jin Tiaojiang wondered if there were other ways to solve the problem at hand.
But just when Jin Tiaojiang was about to take back the copper plate, Jia Lihu seemed to remember something, and there was a bit of joy in his voice: "I am stupid and don't have any clever ideas, but these guys may be able to help you." !”
"Old Jia, what do you mean..." Huang You's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed to his nose, but he felt something was wrong and hurriedly took his hand back.
Jia Lihu didn't notice Huang You's embarrassment, and hurriedly leaned over and handed the copper plate to several hounds. After all, this copper plate was also a commonly used thing by the "living gods". As long as he followed the smell on the copper plate, what kind of living gods would die? It’s so magical that you can easily trace it even to the ends of the earth!
Several hounds sniffed the copper plate carefully, then turned around and barked at Jia Orion.
"Jia Lihu, what's going on?" Jin Tiaojiang asked.
"This..." Jia Orion is not proficient in dog language, but he has been with them for a long time and has some understanding of them. As soon as the low barking ended, Jia Orion held out two fingers: "One good news, one bad news." , which one of you want to listen first?"
"Then bad news..." Jin Tiaojiang blurted out not wanting to be hit again at the end.
"The bad news is that the heavy rain is now heavy, and it has completely washed away the traces of the living immortal's activities! So if you rely on scent to find people, you will only be able to fetch water from a bamboo basket... in vain!"
"Then... what's the good news?" Jia Lihu's words were similar to his guess. Jin Tiaojiang just nodded and continued to ask.
"The good news is that not only does the smell of living gods remain on the copper plate, but there is also a faint trace of true energy circulating! If we wait until the rainstorm stops, we can search in the direction of the true energy... I can't guarantee the specific details, but it can be done no matter what. Know the general direction of the living god!" Jia Orion said excitedly.
When Jin Tiaojiang arrived outside the post station before, he had confirmed that there were several forked roads leading to different places to the west of the post station. Therefore, although Jia Lihu said that he could only confirm the general direction, as long as he knew where the living immortal led to, There are forks in the road, and it no longer matters whether it is detailed or not.
Now that he had confidence in his heart, Jin Tiaojiang could finally settle down and hope that the sky in front of him would clear up soon. Fortunately, God was kind. They didn't wait long before the clouds dissipated, and the sunshine above their heads suddenly became warmer. If the ground wasn't still muddy, how would it look like a heavy rain had come?
The weather was refreshing after the rain. A few people said goodbye to the two guards at the inn, and continued on their way west to cheer up.
Originally, they planned to borrow a few fast horses to make the journey easier, but each of these horses became weaker than the last, as if they were suffering from cold illness. They could not move one step further, so they could only give up their thoughts. Fortunately, the air after the rain was extremely fragrant, which swept away the gloom in several people's hearts, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the fork in the road.
Because Jia Liehu sent several hounds to explore the road in advance, the few people did not stand for long before they saw the hounds flying back. They whispered to each other for a while before giving instructions to Jia Liehu.
Jia Lihu frowned as he looked into the distance, and then gestured and chatted with the hounds. Seeing that the hounds were just shaking their heads and wagging their tails, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he sighed helplessly.
"Old Jia, what kind of trouble have you encountered?" Jin Tiaojiang asked anxiously when he saw Jia Orion's expression looking troubled.
Jia Lihu shook his head and said: "Most of the forked roads to the west here are far apart, and only two routes are very close. But by chance, this living god happened to go in this direction. I wanted to let them go again." I tried to identify the specific place carefully, but they said that the living god was too far away, and I really couldn’t feel it clearly.”
"Hey! What's so difficult about this? There are just two ways!" Huang You laughed loudly when he heard this, and said loudly: "My good brother is inconvenient, so of course it's more comfortable for me to take care of him! Lao Jia, these hounds like yours are not extraordinary either. Things should be able to ensure your safety. From now on, we will separate into two groups and go to one side to end it!"
"Well! What this brother said does make sense!" Jia Lihu nodded after hearing this, and then pointed to the left hand side: "In that case, I will search from this road. If I find anything, I will also let the hounds Let’s go find you! But...if I really don’t find it, I will go back to the inn and wait for a day. If you two don’t come back by the time, I will have no choice but to go back to Yangdu in advance, I’m really sorry!”
"Old Jia, you are so polite! Yesterday it was obviously Jin who worked hard all the way for Lao Jia. It's me who should be sorry!" Jin Tiaojiang responded quickly.
"Haha... In this case, let's stop being polite to each other. If the two of you need any help in the future, just come back to Yangdu City and see me! I'm going first!"
After Jia Lihu finished speaking, he said goodbye to the two of them one by one and left quickly to the left. Jin Tiaojiang and Huang You nodded with a smile, and hurried towards the other fork in the road...
And not long after the few people disappeared at the intersection, a dark shadow emerged from the hiding place. The person looked left and right, and then quickly chased in the direction where Jin Tijiang and Huang You disappeared...
…
"Hello..." As a cry sounded, the chaotic sound of horse hooves gradually eased down. The leader reached back with one hand, jumped off the horse with agility, and handed the reins to a strong man behind him.
"You guys...forget it, just wait outside. I want to see what's going on in this ruined temple!" After saying this, the man walked into the temple with a swagger.
The person who spoke was none other than Lu Chun, who had left the inn earlier. However, at this time, Lu Chun's injuries all over his body had recovered as before, and he no longer looked as embarrassed as before. I saw him moving his muscles and bones, and there was a crackling sound on his body. Then he took a breath and pushed towards the door in front of him.
"Living Immortal, Living Immortal! I hope you won't lie to me! Otherwise, if you are caught by me in the future, you will definitely become a Death Immortal!" Lu Chun muttered to himself as he stepped in, wishing to see the ruined temple right away. Buddha finger pointing.
This dilapidated temple had not been used for a long time. The last time Lu Chun came here, it caused a lot of dust. He didn't notice anything besides sneezing all over the place. He also lost his temper and almost demolished the dilapidated temple.
Fortunately, the rainstorm was about to stop at this moment, and there was much less dust. With a bang, everything in the house became clearer.
"Eh? Has anyone ever been to this ruined temple?" Lu Chun took a quick look and saw an oil lamp emitting a faint light on the corner of the table facing him. However, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt. It feels like I left this oil lamp here last time.
However, Lu Chun still had business to attend to at this time, and an oil lamp naturally could not arouse his interest. His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the Buddha statue on the stone platform behind the table, and his expression gradually became brighter.
What appeared in front of him was indeed the correct Buddha statue, but unfortunately, this Buddha statue had no hands! In other words, this Buddha statue should have had hands, but something unexpected happened and it was smashed to pieces. Not only that, even the bulging flesh bun on the Buddha's hair was chopped off with external force. Broken, almost like a flat head.
If it were normal, Lu Chun would have yelled at someone for doing something bad, but this time he was surprisingly quiet, silently looking for pieces on the ground to put together. This is not because Lu Chun's temper suddenly improved, but because he was the one who took the lead in destroying the Buddha statue...
Although Lu Chun was smart, he was very clumsy, so when he was making alchemy, he often couldn't grasp the precise heat and strength. Now it was even more difficult for him to piece together the Buddha statue. Although he could put the gravels on the ground together, they were just placed together, and there was no ornamentation at all.
"Is this a job done by humans?" At the end of the fight, Lu Chun finally used up his last bit of patience, hit the table with a bang, and began to curse.
Just when he was hesitating whether to call someone to help, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, which immediately made his mood worse: "Shut up, I! Come in and help!"
But the men outside didn't seem to hear it and continued to make noises. Lu Chun also frowned, turned around and walked out of the room. While he was having fun inside, the sky outside had cleared up, and people under the scorching sun were even more impetuous. Lu Chun quickly walked a few steps to the outside of the ruined temple, ready to vent his depressed emotions.
"Are you deaf or something? Didn't you hear me...?"
As soon as Lu Chung came outside the hospital, he saw a group of strong men gathered around and didn't know what they were doing. But before he finished cursing, he suddenly noticed something unusual. He looked into the crowd and found out the reason. It turned out that a young man about his age had a dispute with the people outside.
However, Lu Chun was worried at the moment, so of course he didn't bother to stop him, so he simply folded his arms and watched the excitement. Although this kid is thin, he is quite able to withstand beatings. Especially in such a passive situation, he has no intention of begging for mercy. Instead, he looks very determined.
The more Lu Chun looked at this man, the hotter his face became, not because he discovered this man's shining soul, but because he suddenly realized that this man seemed to be carrying something, and his eyes gradually became greedy.
The smile on his lips grew thicker, and he thought to himself: Could it be that he had misunderstood the words of the Living God before? That getting rich and getting promoted is not about the direction of the Buddha's finger, but about someone telling you that someone is going to bring a treasure to your door?
