"Sir...sir, please spare my life! Please...please, please let me go! I...I can give you money and exercises. I will give you everything I know! We are two wandering cultivators. , there is really nothing else!”
Seeing Qi Zixian's still unmoved look, Han Mei felt anxious and annoyed, and finally couldn't help but say, "If you don't mind it, I'm willing to be your Taoist companion. If that doesn't work, I can still be your slave." Maid, bring you tea and water. I just ask you to spare my life!"
Qi Zixian, who had been staring at Han Mei, rolled his eyes and said in a suspicious tone, "How do I know if you want to compromise with me first, try to deceive my trust, and then hurt me secretly! I still feel that The dead are more reliable than the living!"
After saying that, Qi Zixian frowned and tried to break Han Mei's neck with his hands.
Han Mei suddenly turned pale with fright, and she was about to collapse to the ground as soon as her legs went weak. However, because her neck was strangled, she could only hang in the air, and the entire weight of her body was borne by Qi Zixian's hands.
"Sir... everything I said is true, true. I would never dare to lie to you!"
"Oh, really? Forget it, you are just a female prostitute who doesn't understand anything. So, you tell me everything that happened here in detail, if there is no trace of concealment or deception , I will let you live." Qi Zixian slowly let go of his hand and let Han Mei sit on the ground.
Han Mei, who was so frightened that she shed tears, quickly knelt down and said with a grateful look, "I will definitely explain everything clearly, and I won't tell any lies!"
At this time, Li Lei, who had been silent on the side, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But Qi Zixian suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "You are a smart person, and she is a fool. Although I like to be friends with smart people, I still prefer Believe what a fool says."
When Li Lei heard this, he immediately closed his eyes and remained silent.
Qi Zixian's meaning was already obvious. Now the lives of the two of them depended on his thoughts. The only thing about the two that interested him seemed to be the inheritance of the Ghost Lord.
However, the cautious Qi Zixian did not ask them directly, but wanted to get it from the seemingly mindless Han Mei through intimidation.
He saw that Li Lei wanted to remind Han Mei loudly, so he immediately came over to beat Li Lei.
Li Lei seemed to have chosen to give up the struggle and was extremely disappointed with himself as a stupid Taoist monk.
Of course, Qi Zixian had no real intention to kill these two people.
Although the current situation is turbulent, the government has no control over this remote place. Even if these two warriors die here, there is a high probability that no one will find out. However, Qi Zixian is not a murderer. He I just want to find out what the inheritance of the Ghost Lord mentioned by the two people has to do with Lan Yu and why Qi Qi has been missing for so long just now.
"Sir...sir!"
Han Mei, still looking frightened, said to Qi Zixian tremblingly, "The two of us have been looking for opportunities in the mountains near Zhenshiguan in central Yuzhou. Just some time ago, the two of us discovered something. It’s a hidden cave. Inside the cave, we discovered a shocking secret!”
This Yuzhou is the only place where Jianghu warriors can move freely without being severely controlled by the government. The vast land of Yuzhou naturally hides the wealth and opportunities left by countless warriors.
Zhenshi Pass, located in the center of Yuzhou, is a gathering place for warriors. It is said that hundreds of thousands of mountains around Zhenshi Pass are connected to form a dragon, and the gate of heaven opens when the wind blows.
The chasm-like terrain on that day, with its strong luck, has become a retreat place for countless martial arts masters.
Moreover, the mountains and forests around Zhenshi Pass are full of aura, with many natural and earthly treasures growing, and all kinds of rare and exotic animals inhabiting.
This also makes many warriors flock to it, eager to get a chance to reach the sky in one step.
From time to time, news would spread, saying that some warrior had picked up high-quality medicinal herbs in some mountain near Zhenshi Pass, and sold them for astronomical prices.
Which warrior found the cave of a high-level warrior somewhere, received the supreme inheritance, practiced peerless skills, and became a genius in one day.
Which warrior did something...
In short, you can hear several versions of this kind of thing every day in Zhenshi Pass. Even Qi Zixian in Chang'an City can hear similar news coming from time to time.
"Well, what happens next?" Qi Zixian looked at Han Mei and said slowly and with a heavy tone, "Did you discover the inheritance of the Ghost Lord in there?"
Han Mei nodded tremblingly, her face still filled with tears, as if she hadn't gotten over the threat and intimidation from Qi Zixian just now.
"Yes, that is the place where a powerful warrior named Guizun rests. We found a book he left inside, which recorded his life experience in detail.
At his peak, his cultivation level was close to the late seventh level, and he was among the first batch of warriors to break through the martial arts before Meng Huang preached.
And it is said that the skills he created have unpredictable effects. It was precisely by virtue of his own strength that he repeatedly made great achievements in the human-monster wars, killing countless demon clan leaders, and he was able to retreat without a trace. Thousands of horses cannot harm him in the slightest.
Unfortunately, he was later targeted by a demon king who secretly injured him seriously. Since then, he has withdrawn from the battlefield and has been thinking of ways to heal his injuries.
Later, when the human-monster war ended, his injuries could not recover, so he simply found a cave near Zhenshi Pass to wait for his death.
In the last period of his life, he left behind a legacy that contained his lifelong skills and cultivation insights.
However, this inheritance is extremely mysterious. It is not in a fixed secret realm of the cave, but is hidden by him in a formation.
This formation was entrusted to an old friend of his who had perfected the formation to build it. It was able to wander around the land of Kyushu and actively attract people to enter according to certain rules. It was unparalleled in its mystery.
According to him, he wants to give everyone in Kyushu a chance. Anyone who can pass the test in the formation can obtain his inheritance..."
"So...you are here to look for the inheritance of this Ghost Lord based on the records in that book..." Qi Zixian narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Mei, with a hint of suspicion in his words. "Take out the books you got from that cave and show them to me."
When Han Mei heard this, she immediately said, "The book also contained tricks. After we took it out and flipped through it, it immediately dissipated. But everything I said is true, and I don't dare to have even the slightest bit of falsehood!"
Qi Zixian pondered for a long time, still hesitating in his heart, wondering whether he should believe what Han Mei said.
"Hmm... my head hurts so much!" He Yiqi, who was lying on the ground beside him, slowly got up and rubbed his head while saying, "Where is this place? Why is it so dark!"
Lan Yu also woke up leisurely at this time and looked around with some confusion.
Seeing that Lan Yu and He Yiqi had both woken up, Qi Zixian no longer hesitated and said to Li Lei and Han Mei, "I am thinking that you two have not done anything harmful today, and I will treat you two as one. But. I will leave a secret restriction on you two to prevent you two from seeking revenge in the future. But don't worry, as long as you don't encounter difficulties with me in the future, I won't push it."
After saying that, Qi Zixian slapped them both and pushed them forward.
The internal energy restrictions on the two men were then released, and their bodies were like lightning, flying quickly into the night and disappearing without a trace.
At this time, Qi Zixian turned to look at Lan Yu and He Yiqi, both of whom looked at him doubtfully.
"Who were those two people just now?" Lan Yu asked curiously.
Qi Zixian didn't say anything, but put his palm against the two people's dantian, sensing them carefully.
After a while, Qi Zixian let out a long sigh and said solemnly to He Yiqi, "Congratulations, you have become a third-level warrior!"
He Yiqi jumped up with joy when he heard this and said, "Okay, okay! I finally became a warrior! It's great!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. I have seen those warriors who are able to break mountains and rocks, fly over walls and climb over walls. But you are still almost the same as ordinary people. I think you still have a long way to go compared to those real warriors. !Am I right?"
Lan Yu looked at Qi Zixian, who nodded and said, "This child only has the power of Qi and blood in his body to reach the level of a third-grade warrior. Whether it is in the cultivation of skills or the tempering of his character, he still has A long way to go.”
He Yiqi heard the words and said with confidence, "Don't worry, I will definitely become the most powerful warrior in the world in the future. When the time comes, I will bring the boss lady back and let her see how majestic I am!"
"Haha, I'm waiting to see that day!" Lan Yu smiled and touched He Yiqi's head.
"Okay, you first tell me everything you have encountered before. I feel that something is wrong in the past few years." Qi Zixian frowned and said.
He Yiqi and Lan Yu told Qi Zixian everything about what happened after they set foot on this path, and Qi Zixian also told them all the information he got from Li Lei and Han Mei. .
…………
"So, have we stepped into the inheritance of the Ghost Lord?" Lan Yu touched her chin and said, "We are also lucky, and the abandoned child finally had an idea and cracked the mystery. Otherwise, we Maybe I really won’t be able to get out.”
"The wisdom of our ancestors is really beyond our reach in some areas. For example, this formation, even if it is just a few feet away from me, I don't have any feeling at all. It's really amazing and unparalleled!" Qi Zixian sighed with emotion! He said that he really admired the methods left by this senior named Guizun.
"By the way, you cracked the formation, did you get anything from it?" Qi Zixian asked curiously. He just noticed that all the meridians on He Yiqi and Lan Yu's bodies had been dredged, and their physical bodies had also been strengthened. Quite a few, and I don’t know anything about other inheritances.
"Hey, this kid fell asleep so quickly?" Qi Zixian, who had been immersed in thought, realized at this time that He Yiqi had fallen asleep in Lan Yu's arms.
Lan Yu shook her head helplessly and said softly, "Okay, let's send him back to Ping'an Restaurant first. This child has been missing for so long. I think the people in their restaurant are also very worried."
"I guess the town is in a state of chaos again! But you two are a blessing in disguise this time. It's not easy to survive such a situation!"
In the night, Lan Yu walked ahead with He Yiqi on his back, and Qi Zixian followed behind.
"I said, why don't you just accept this kid as your apprentice! This kid is so talented, he will be able to provide for you when he grows up!"
"Haha, you guys are really planning on what you want! Are you saying good things to your apprentice so quickly? Are you not afraid that I will make him my own apprentice?"
"I don't believe it. I have seen this child thoroughly. He is a person who values love and justice. Think about it, you are destined to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. You have no heirs, so where can you use your skills? ? It’s better to pass it on to him, and he will support us together until we die together, how convenient it is!”
"Haha, you old fox, why do you think that if I accept an apprentice to teach my skills, it's like I'm making a huge profit!"
"Okay, okay, I know you have a low reputation, so it's settled! Let him become a disciple tomorrow!"
"Wait, I haven't agreed yet!"
