Wei Fushen led Zhong Liying and walked through the mountains. Zhong Liying's Qi Sea was blocked and his true energy could not be mobilized. He was almost no different from ordinary people. There were many places that he couldn't get through. Wei Fushen didn't care. He just dragged him forward with a rope, stumbling along.
The fall resulted in a bruised nose and swollen face.
Zhong Liying had no choice but to be stubborn. She would never ask for mercy, but she had suffered a lot.
After walking for a day, a small village appeared ahead, with more than ten bamboo houses scattered on a high slope.
Wei Fushen stopped outside the village for a long time, observed repeatedly, and circled the village twice before leading Zhong Liying into the village.
Zhong Liying's heart was lifted, and she prayed secretly, hoping that Sun Wu would be in the village and take down the damn Wei Fushen in one fell swoop. But his hope was obviously in vain. The village was deserted, and there seemed to be no one around.
Wei Fushen went from room to room and opened the door to check. Although the houses were simple, there were signs that someone was living in them. However, they were now empty and he didn't know where he had gone.
It wasn't until the last room that I saw a young woman of sixteen or seventeen years old, cooking.
This woman is also a monk. Although she is young, she is already a senior Qi practitioner. The flying sword hovers in front of her and she looks at Wei Fuchen and Zhong Liying warily.
Wei Fuchen smiled, tied Zhong Liying to the door beam, walked into the house, and said: "Little lady, don't panic, Mr. Wei passed by your village just to ask for a drink of water."
The woman retreated to the wooden table, poured a bowl of water for Wei Fushen, and gave water to Zhong Liying who was tied with a rope. Zhong Liying was very fond of her and reminded her in a low voice while drinking water: "Escape quickly."
The woman turned around and asked Wei Fuchen: "What mistake did he make? Why is he tied up?"
Wei Fuchen drank the water and said: "Little lady, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Just answer my two questions and I will leave. Everyone will be in peace. First, where are the other people in the village?"
The woman said: "The elders are hunting around and will be back soon."
Zhong Liying's eyes lit up. If other people in the village had this woman's level of cultivation, then there would be great hope for her to be rescued.
Wei Fuchen nodded: "Secondly, has anyone passed by here these days and asked you about the way into the wilderness? This person may call himself Wu Sheng, or Shen Wu, and his cultivation is above that of refining gods. It is possible
Wearing a bamboo hat... By the way, he is also good at refining elixirs. After asking, he may be rewarded with elixirs."
Zhong Liying was dumbfounded and blurted out: "Are you looking for Wu Sheng too?"
Wei Fushen smiled and said: "You confessed without interrogation? So the academy is still searching for Wu Sheng? You see, Master Wei and your academy are on the same path."
Zhong Liying asked: "Wu Sheng is really not dead? What do you want to do with him?"
Wei Fu said solemnly: "This man is cunning and insidious, how could he die so easily? I had a fierce fight with him a few months ago..."
Zhong Liying said: "A vicious fight? Just you? Thief Wu is distracted and highly skilled, and you are far behind him. If we really fight, you will die a few times!"
Wei Fuchen said leisurely: "I was distracted or not. I didn't notice Mr. Wei, but it's not wrong for him to be injured by me and run away."
Zhong Liying figured out the reason in a blink of an eye: "Injured by you? That was because he was injured by the sword sect of my academy!"
The woman suddenly asked: "Are you together?"
They both shook their heads: "No!"
Zhong Liying said: "Wu Sheng is a wanted criminal in our academy. The academy is pursuing him out of justice to prevent him from harming others again!"
Wei Fushen said: "He stole... took advantage of my unpreparedness and robbed me of a batch of property. I have to find him to get it back."
The woman frowned: "So he is a villain?"
Wei Fushen was overjoyed: "Have you seen it? When? Where are you now?"
Seeing that the woman was still hesitating, Wei Fuchen doubled down and slapped a piece of gold on the table: "Tell me, this gold is yours."
The woman didn't look at the love, but looked at Zhong Liying: "Are you a student of the academy?"
Zhong Liying said: "I am Zhong Liying, a monk from Yangzhou Academy."
The woman said to Wei Fushen: "The academy upholds justice for the monks in the world, eradicates evil, and corrects injustice. How can we treat him like this? Let him go, and I will tell you."
Wei Fuchen didn't waste any time, and directly took away Zhong Liying's rope, unsealed the sea of qi, and said, "You can talk now."
Zhong Liying's feet went weak and he collapsed on the ground. This was a symptom of the Qi Sea being blocked for a long time. Just rest for a while.
Seeing Wei Fushen let him go, the woman said: "A month ago, someone did pass by here and asked us about the way to Skull Mountain. His surname was Shen. We don't know if he was a pill master, but he exchanged some black ginseng pills for some."
Food and clothing.”
Wei Fuchen asked: "Skull Mountain? Which way to go to Skull Mountain?"
The woman said: "Five miles to the southwest is the Longdu River, and three hundred miles down the river is the Skull Mountain. It is already deep into the wilderness and is the territory of the Demonic Skeleton Sect. I advise you not to take risks."
Wei Fuchen nodded: "Thank you!" When he stood up, he gave a virtual pointer, sealed Zhong Liying's Qi Sea, and tied him up again with the same rope.
Zhong Liying yelled: "Wei thief, you will not die well!"
The woman was furious: "Why did you go back on your word?"
Wei Fuchen smiled and said: "I promised you to let him go, but I didn't promise you not to tie him up again. He didn't take the opportunity to escape just now, who is to blame now?"
The woman's face turned red with anger, and she took the initiative to attack Wei Fuchen with her flying sword. She was not old, but she was already a senior in Qi refining, and her swordsmanship was exquisite. She seemed to have been taught by a famous master, and she had some real skills.
Zhong Liying was cheering her on, hoping that she could create a miracle, but after all, miracles are not so easy to create, otherwise how could they be called miracles?
Not long after the fight, the wooden house collapsed. Wei Fushen tied two people with a rope and got out of the collapsed wooden house.
Zhong Liying sighed and said to the woman behind him: "My dear wife, I've caused trouble for you."
The woman shook her head: "You are a member of the Academy and a good person. It is my duty to save you. Although I live in a remote wilderness, I know the difference between good and evil. It is my duty to help the Academy uphold the right path."
Zhong Liying was moved and proud at the same time, and tears filled her eyes.
Wei Fuchen led the two of them, and just as they left the village entrance, they stopped again. They saw seven or eight people coming from outside the village. When they saw them from a distance, they shouted: "Xiaohuan!"
The woman behind him also shouted: "Daddy!"
Zhong Liying was overjoyed, hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally the savior had arrived. Judging from the magic weapons of this group of people, there were at least two alchemists, and most of the others were senior Qi alchemists. In this small village,
, it’s really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!
He looked back at the woman behind him and thought that her name was Xiaohuan. This kindness and kindness will be repaid in the future!
When Wei Fushen saw them, he made a quick decision and ignored Zhong Liying and Xiaohuan. As soon as he pulled up the rope, he immediately turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he was gone without a trace.
He didn't run away without a trace, but walked around to the top of the mountain and reached out to Wei Shumang who was watching on the mountain: "Fenmai Pill!"
Uncle Wei smiled and threw the elixir over: "This is the second one."
Wei Fu said solemnly: "Give it to me together, and I will leave without causing any trouble!"
Wei Shumang shook his head: "It's not that I won't give it to you. The third one hasn't been made yet and it will take some time to deliver it."
Wei Fuchen was helpless and stared at Wei Shumang: "You'd better stop playing tricks!"
Wei Shumang sighed: "I can't wait to send you, the god of plague, away quickly. Is there any need to play any tricks? Besides, my Zhufeng Mountain is right there and I can't escape. What are you worried about?"
