Jiang Fan accepted Wu Xin as his disciple and had no intention of leaving Wen County immediately.
Even though Wenxian County is just a small town with an unimpressive appearance, there are a lot of things there. Not to mention the huge mountain of Taotie, Jiang Fan is still more interested in Yue Qiluo's "The Magic of Immortality".
After all, it is difficult to find a spell that can make a soul powerful enough to withstand lightning spells, even by one person.
And Jiang Fan is not familiar with this world.
In Master Wuxin's world, there are many monsters and monsters, including ancient ferocious beasts. This shows that the water is very deep.
Jiang Fan's current strength is indeed not weak, but to say he is invincible is to be blindly arrogant.
At least the sleeping glutton, Jiang Fan, is not sure of winning. Who knows if there will be a stronger one.
If you are arrogant and arrogant, when you really encounter a problem, the mission will fail, the reward will be wasted, and it will be too late to regret.
Since I plan to live in Wen County temporarily, it is not a problem to always live in Gu Xuanwu's house.
Although Gu Xuanwu was very happy, the debt of gratitude had to be repaid.
Things that can be solved with money are no big deal to Jiang Fan now.
Using a high-quality luminous pearl, Jiang Fan pawned 30,000 yuan from a pawnshop in the county town.
Then he bought a courtyard house in the north of the city as a temporary residence.
The courtyard has eight rooms, one main room, two wing rooms, three wing rooms, a study room and a kitchen.
There are many trees and flowers planted in the yard, and the whole yard looks very quiet.
That day, Wu Xin and Yue Ya took the money and bought pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt and other daily necessities.
When Jiang Fan had nothing to do, he would practice meditation in the yard or wander around the streets to find out where the demons were causing trouble or what strange things happened.
The body of Nuqingji is different from that of human beings, so it cannot practice internal strength, and the Taoist methods of Tianshi Mansion are not suitable for it. On weekdays, it can only practice Tai Chi and Iron Claw Kung Fu, or sleep, and is extremely lazy.
During these days, Wu Xin devoted himself to practicing the "Golden Light Curse". After transforming his own magic power, he was able to transform into golden light, and his strength grew rapidly, comparable to that of an Earth Master.
After Wu Xin fully controls the "Golden Light Curse", his strength will be no less than that of the Heavenly Master.
This is the advantage of living a long time. Even if you are a little stupid, as long as you live long enough, your skills will naturally increase over time. Even if you cannot defeat your opponent, you can still outlast him. Time is Wu Xin's best weapon.
Yue Ya is just an ordinary person with average talent. Jiang Fan did not accept her as his apprentice because he had no intention of liking Yue Ya and because Yue Ya had nowhere to go, he stayed on and was responsible for some daily chores, such as cooking and sweeping the floor.
Yue Ya is not dissatisfied with this. She is diligent, resolute, independent, and can endure hardships.
I really feel that Jiang Fan has taken me in. At least my life now is much better than when I was at home before!
For people in this era, being able to have enough to eat every day is happiness.
As for higher pursuits, we have to wait until we are full.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Wenxian County was quite peaceful as there were no evil spirits harming anyone.
During this period, Gu Xuanwu visited Jiang Fan several times, giving gifts every time in an attempt to get closer to him.
In Gu Xuanwu's view, even the commander-in-chief might not be able to hire a living god like Lao Tianshi. Being able to take charge of Wen County is equivalent to a sea-fixing needle, giving him a sense of security.
The people in Wen County also heard some rumors about the "Old Heavenly Master", and there was an endless stream of people coming to visit, but Jiang Fan was not interested in trivial matters and basically closed the door to thank the guests.
At the same time, Zhang Xianzong was worried that this old heavenly master would ruin his good deeds.
Zhang Xianzong was very ambitious. He was already dissatisfied with the self-righteous Gu Xuanwu and wanted to replace him. Over the years, he had been secretly cultivating his own power.
It was originally planned to take action in the next few days, but as soon as Jiang Fan arrived, he showed extraordinary methods, which made Zhang Xianzong fearful and did not dare to act rashly.
Zhang Xianzong was not sure whether the other party would stand up for Gu Xuanwu. He was not as powerful as Gu Xuanwu. Only by surprise could he win.
Now that Lao Tianshi has become famous, once he sides with Gu Xuanwu, it will be a devastating blow to Zhang Xianzong.
He can't afford to lose, so he is very cautious and is afraid of showing his flaws.
But what Zhang Xianzong didn't know was that Jiang Fan had already told Gu Xuanwu about his alienation.
Gu Xuanwu was a man of loyalty and treated his brothers sincerely. Although he did not completely believe Jiang Fan's words, he did become suspicious of Zhang Xianzong.
It’s not that Gu Xuanwu didn’t understand the principle of being on guard against others.
To be able to rise from a farm boy with a butcher's knife to his current status, Gu Xuanwu certainly did not lack the skills and luck of a three-legged cat. He also had wit and courage.
After several days of observation, Gu Xuanwu found no unusual behavior by Zhang Xianzong and temporarily gave up his suspicion.
But whenever he saw Zhang Xianzong's stern face, Gu Xuanwu couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
I didn't think so before, but after being reminded by Jiang Fan, when Gu Xuanwu looked at Zhang Xianzong now, he always felt that this guy was very thoughtful and didn't take anything seriously. When he smiled, he was only smiling, as if everyone owed him money.
【Brother, please don’t let me down!】
Having made a decision in his heart, Gu Xuanwu planned to find an opportunity to test Zhang Xianzong.
If Zhang Xianzong is not the best among the second and fifth sons, and if he is really a white-eyed wolf who is not well-bred, then don't blame him for not being brotherly.
Soon a rough plan emerged in Gu Xuanwu's mind.
It just so happened that he had attacked Wenxian County before, hoping to make some noise, and was planning to arrange for Zhang Xianzong to marry his concubine.
By the way, you can take the opportunity to build relationships with the landlords and gentry in Wen County, and explore the background and attitudes of these people. You can achieve multiple things with one stone.
After making the decision, Gu Xuanwu began to make arrangements.
the next day.
Gu Xuanwu sent someone to send invitations to Jiang Fan, Wu Xin and others.
Looking at the invitation in his hand, he asked unintentionally: "Master, Zhang Xianzong is marrying his concubine, shall we go?"
"I won't go as a teacher. You can give me a congratulatory gift on my behalf."
After several days of visits, Jiang Fan has confirmed where Yue Qiluo's hometown is and plans to obtain the "Evil Magic of Immortality".
As for Zhang Xianzong, are you familiar with him?
Jiang Fan took Nu Qingji to a barren mountain more than fifty miles away from Wen County.
This is not only Yue Qiluo's old lair, but also the place where Taotie sleeps. Looking at the huge mountain peaks, who would have thought that there is an ancient ferocious beast under this soil!
It has to be said that Taotie is a foodie. Even if he is asleep, he will be sucked into his stomach if a stranger comes near.
Jiang Fan didn't want to face off against Taotie. The outcome was unpredictable and meaningless.
Jiang Fan had contacted Yue Qiluo before and released the guiding firefly. After a while, the guiding firefly found a dusty cave based on Yue Qiluo's aura.
This place is very remote, and there are many yellowing strips of cloth on the surrounding dead trees.
I don’t know how long these strips of cloth have been hung. They are full of traces of time, but they are not corrupted.
Special runes were painted on the cloth strips, which gave off an evil aura. There were many bones of birds and animals under the surrounding dead trees, some of which had long since decayed, while others were relatively fresh.
"Quack~"
Several carrion crows were frightened by Jiang Fan and Angry Chicken passing by, and landed on the dead tree to look around.
At this moment, the strips of cloth dancing in the wind suddenly reversed direction and entangled the approaching crows like poisonous snakes. In just a moment, the crows were sucked dry of their essence and fell down into mummies.
