Passing through Yunzhou smoothly, everyone was relieved. Although Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu were seriously injured, they were more worried about Taoist Lin. Taoist Lin had been seriously injured and vomited blood when fighting the old man with a hunchback, and they all saw it.
After leaving the boundary of Yunzhou, the two men immediately instructed Batulu to stop the carriage by the roadside, get on the carriage and ask about Daoist Lin's situation.
Daochang Lin's face was very ugly, with black air lingering on his face, and he had been coughing violently.
"Master, how are you?" Li Zhongyong was worried.
"Feng Hongshou's Tongbei Fist is truly well-deserved," Taoist Lin tilted his head and looked at Chen Liqiu, "You were hit by his punch earlier, so don't be careless. You should use your power and qi in time to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
"Master, I'm fine, are you okay?" Chen Liqiu asked nervously.
"It's okay, I can still hold on," Director Lin forced out a smile, "To avoid a long night and many dreams, let's get on the road early."
After hearing what Chief Lin said, everyone felt relieved, left the carriage, and relieved themselves.
After staying away from the carriage, Li Zhongyong said to Changsheng, "Lao Wu, please be more considerate and take good care of Master. If you find something wrong, tell us immediately."
Changsheng nodded in agreement and sighed.
After a short rest, everyone set off on the road again. Although they got rid of the Beggar Gang, everyone did not dare to relax. Now Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu were both injured. If they encounter opponents again, only the ones who have the strength to fight will be left. Baturu and Mayumi.
Even though Li Zhongyong didn't give instructions, Chang Sheng had been paying close attention to Daoist Lin's condition. Daoist Lin in the car had been coughing violently, and occasionally there would be sounds of coughing and vomiting.
Changsheng was worried, and every time he returned to the car to visit and ask, he heard correctly. Daoist Lin had been coughing up blood, and the handkerchief was already soaked. Even the baggage he grabbed to wipe the blood was soaked in black blood.
"Master, what can we do?" Chang Sheng was worried.
"Don't panic," Taoist Master Lin waved his hand, "What I vomited out was just congestion. Once the congestion is gone, breathing will become easier. I want to move my energy and qi, so please go out and don't disturb me."
Hearing what Chief Lin said, Chang Sheng could only exit the carriage and sit on the shaft, worrying secretly.
"Lao Wu, don't look sad," Batulu said, "Master said it's okay, it's okay. Our journey has been smooth, and we will definitely reach Yongzhou in two days."
"Yes." Changsheng nodded. Although his worry continued, he could only try to adjust his mood. No one would like a person who cries all day long, and no one would like a person who talks depressingly all day long.
The next few counties that everyone will pass through are all within Li Keyong's sphere of influence. That token provides everyone with great convenience. As long as they encounter a larger post station, everyone will change their horses. By evening At that time, Changsheng's clutched heart relaxed slightly, because Daoist Lin, who had been coughing violently before, finally stopped coughing.
The beggar gang must have been encircled and suppressed by the army. It is unknown whether this was the case. In short, in the cities that everyone passed by afterwards, not a single beggar was seen inside or outside the city gates.
In the evening, everyone entered the mountainous area, and the next hundred miles were filled with high mountains and ridges.
Not long after entering the mountain, a big tree fell in the middle of the road. Li Zhongyong frowned when he saw the big tree blocking the road, "There must be an ambush ahead."
Batululele stopped his horse, picked up the iron rod and strode forward, "You guys wait here, I'll go explore the way."
Everyone knew what Batulu was capable of, so they didn't follow him.
Batulu walked straight towards the big tree blocking the road. Just as he was looking around, a group of men and horses holding swords rushed out of the forest beside the road. They must have numbered forty or fifty people. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, these people did not look like beggars. The Gangbangzhong are not like Jianghu sects, but rather like bandits and bandits.
"I drive this road..."
Before the leader of the thieves could finish what he said, Batulu rushed forward angrily and smashed the iron rod on his head, directly smashing the man into a blur of flesh and blood that was not human in shape. "Get away from you, you idiot." , delaying our time for no reason."
Batulu was angry that the bandits blocked the road and delayed their journey. He yelled and beat them up, and all the bandits who were running slowly were beaten to death. The remaining bandits, who had never seen such a powerful person, dispersed and fled into the woods.
Batulu moved the big tree across the middle of the road, cursed and returned to the carriage, reined in his horse, and continued on his way.
At the second watch, the wind suddenly picked up, and a moment later, thunderclouds gathered and the stars disappeared.
Seeing that there was going to be thunder and rain, Changsheng couldn't sit still and hurriedly said to Chen Liqiu, "Third senior brother, you come and take the car, I will ride the horse."
Chen Liqiu didn't know why, so he thought Changsheng was worried about his injury, so he shook his head and said, "My injury is not serious, and it won't be a problem if I get wet with some rain."
"I have to learn to ride a horse, come and ride with me." Changsheng urged urgently.
Before Chen Liqiu could answer, Taoist priest Lin in the car said, "Youngest, it's dark and dark, please stay in the car."
"Master." Changsheng was in a dilemma. The reason why he wanted to leave the carriage was because he was worried that he would attract thunder from the sky and affect everyone again.
"This is just an ordinary thunderstorm, there is no need to worry." Lin Daozhang said.
Hearing Taoist Lin's words, Chang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought about it, no, there was an overtone in Taoist Lin's words. The implication was that he knew that those thunders that were not caused by ordinary thunderstorms were related to him.
Changsheng had many doubts in his heart, but it was inconvenient to ask directly, so he could only nod in response.
After a while, thunder sounded and raindrops fell.
The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and everyone braved the flashes of lightning and thunderbolts to move forward in the rain.
What Taoist Lin said was true, this was just an ordinary thunderstorm, and the thunder did not fall from around everyone.
Just when he was relieved to be immortal, a bolt of lightning lit up the night sky and also illuminated the road ahead.
"Elder brother..."
Before Chang Sheng could finish shouting, he suddenly stopped, stood up, and looked behind the carriage.
"What are you yelling for?" Batulu wiped the rain from his face.
"Did you see anyone just now?" Chang Sheng asked eagerly.
"Where did these people come from in the barren mountains?" Batulu shook his head.
"There were two people standing in the middle of the road just now. You didn't see them and just ran over them." Changsheng said.
Batulu said in a low voice, "Are you dazzled? If someone really hits someone, how can the carriage not bump?"
"I really saw it just now." Changsheng climbed on the carriage and looked back. At this moment, another lightning flashed in the sky. With the light of the lightning, he saw the two people standing in the middle of the road. The man was facing south before, but this time he was facing north, looking at the carriage that was gradually leaving.
Because it was raining, his vision was a little blurry. He couldn't see the appearance of the two people, but he could clearly see the colors of their clothes. One of the two people was wearing a black robe, and the other was wearing a white robe. The black and white were sharp and extremely dazzling.
In just a moment, Changsheng understood what he had seen. He was frightened in his heart and instinctively wanted to shout. However, he suddenly remembered something and could only restrain himself and grit his teeth. In this way, he did not scream in surprise.
"Youngest, what do the two people you saw look like?" Lin Daochang's voice came from the car.
"They seem to be two children." Changsheng lied. He lied because he thought of folklore. Legend has it that Black and White Wuchang knows who's time is coming and will come to take away the soul. At present, Lin Daochang is poisoned. Life is at stake. If you tell the truth, it will be very unlucky.
"Where did the kid come from in the mountains? A rabbit jumped over just now." Batulu said.
It was the first time in Chang Sheng's life that he encountered such a strange thing. He was so nervous and panicked that his heart was beating so fast that he could hardly speak.
The heavy rain kept falling, and everyone left the mountainous area at the fourth watch. At this time, the rain weakened a little, and everyone braved the rain and finally entered the boundary of Yongzhou at noon.
Entering the boundary of Yongzhou does not mean that you have arrived at your destination. Before departure, Taoist priest Lin once said that the destination is Tongguan County in Yongzhou, and Tongguan County is located in the hinterland of Yongzhou, and it will still take one day to get to Tongguan.
After changing trains again to relieve themselves, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu took the opportunity to ask Changsheng about Daoist Lin's situation.
"Master has not eaten water or rice for two days," Changsheng shook his head and said, seeing the worried look on their faces, he hurriedly added, "Master vomited blood and no longer coughed, but his face is a little pale."
Listen to what Changsheng said. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Liqiu looked at Li Zhongyong and said, "Second brother, you have been following the master longer than me. Do you know who the master is looking for?"
"I don't know," Li Zhongyong shook his head and said, "In my impression, the master has never been to Tongguan, but the boss knows the way, and he must have been to Tongguan with the master before."
When Li Zhongyong said this, he whispered to Changsheng and asked him to call over Batulu who was drinking his horse.
When Batulu came over, Li Zhongyong asked, "Boss, have you been to Tongguan with Master before?"
"We've been there, what happened?" Batulu asked.
"Master, do you know anyone there?" Li Zhongyong asked.
"Master is from the south. He is an acquaintance from Yongzhou." Batulu shook his head, "Master and I went to look for the tomb of a fellow officer."
"Have you found it?" "Whose tomb is it?" Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu asked at the same time.
"I found it," Batulu said. "I don't know whose tomb it is, but I remember Master said that the tomb cannot be moved."
"Why can't you move?" Chen Liqiu asked.
"I can't remember," Batulu raised his hand and scratched his head. "It's been too long, I can't remember."
"Think about it carefully," Chen Liqiu said.
Batulu frowned and clicked his tongue, trying to remember, "Master seems to have said that touching his tomb will shorten his life."
Chen Liqiu sighed helplessly, "You won't lose your life if you touch someone's grave. If you say it, you haven't said it yet."
"That man seemed to have lived a hundred and twenty years. Master said he was a good man reincarnated by a god." Batulu said.
"One hundred and twenty years old means Shuangjia, which is the maximum lifespan for a mortal." Chen Liqiu looked solemn. "This person is probably a member of the Taoist sect. By the end of his life, Shuangjia has most likely achieved Taoism and ascended."
"I know whose tomb it is." Li Zhongyong said seriously.
Chen Liqiu was also knowledgeable. After a moment of pondering, he guessed who Li Zhongyong was talking about, "Mr. Sun Zhenren, King of Medicine?"
Li Zhongyong nodded slowly, "Yongzhou Tongguan is the ancestral home of Sun Zhenren."
Batulu was not interested in what they said, "It's okay, I'll go back and feed the horses."
Li Zhongyong nodded and raised his hand. Only after Batulu left did he show worry and confusion, while Chen Liqiu also had a worried look on his face.
"Senior brother, what are you worried about?" Changsheng asked in a low voice.
Neither of them answered immediately. After a long silence, Chen Liqiu finally spoke, "Mr. Sun Zhenren, King of Medicine, is a senior of the Taoist sect. When he was alive, he hung a pot to help the world and benefited the people. His mausoleum must not be touched."
Changsheng didn't know why, so he said, "When things are urgent, follow the authority, and we don't..."
Before Chang Sheng could finish speaking, Chen Liqiu interrupted him, "This matter has nothing to do with benevolence, righteousness and morality, but that Sun Zhenren is a man who came to the world in accordance with the destiny of heaven. If you touch his mausoleum rashly, you will be punished by heaven."
Seeing that Changsheng didn't quite understand, Li Zhongyong explained from the side, "The so-called punishment from heaven means that the rest of your life will be ruined in an instant, and your life will be precarious."
Hearing the two people's words, Chang Sheng was horrified and said, "Since touching that tomb will shorten your life span, what else is Master going to do with it?"
Li Zhongyong said in a deep voice, "I suspect that Master came to Yongzhou not to extend his life and protect himself, but to fulfill his greatest wish in life..."
