Chapter 1764
Immortal Traces 2
Liu Tong is two years younger than Lian Chengbi, but in terms of seniority, he is Lian Chengbi's maternal uncle.
In this life, he awakened memories due to his father's death and the coercion of his clan. In one of his past lives, he was Lian Chengbi's uncle.
Although the Lian Chengbi of today is not his good nephew Lian Chengbi, but rather the counterpart of his good nephew.
But given his relationship with his good nephew, he will take good care of Lian Chengbi.
Lian Chengbi Alexander.
My new cousin is younger than me, but he is more talented and better at studying.
He has two lifetimes of reading experience, but he still can't compare to his younger cousin.
Lian Chengbi comforted himself: Although he couldn't compare to his cousin in academics, he was definitely better than his cousin in other aspects. He was skilled in both literature and martial arts, while his cousin was a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken.
My cousin just smiled and didn't say anything.
The two participated in the imperial examinations, the county examination and the prefectural examination, and both passed, ranking among the top.
Lian's parents and Liu's mother were overjoyed, and the Lian family even held a banquet to celebrate.
Liu Tong and Lian Chengbi, who had already passed the preliminary examination, packed their bags and headed to the prefectural city to attend the academician meeting.
The parents were worried about their youngest son, since he had never learned martial arts and it wasn't safe for him on the road.
They wanted their eldest son to escort the two of them to the prefectural city.
Liu Dong and Lian Chengbi both refused.
Lian Chengbi: He knows martial arts! His martial arts skills are even better than his elder brother's!
Liu Tong: "It's only two days' journey from here to the prefectural city. There are no bandits or robbers along the way, so it should be safe. My nephew is always busy with many things pressing on him, so let's not trouble him."
Both parties refused, and as Liu Dong said, there was indeed no danger along the way, so even the father and mother gave up the idea.
Liu Tong and Lian Chengbi each carried a book box on their backs and set off for the provincial capital.
However, less than half a day after setting off, the weather turned bad and it started to rain.
At first, they were quite young, and the two of them could walk while holding an umbrella.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and the two had no choice but to find a place to take shelter.
They saw an abandoned house and quickly hid inside.
The house was dilapidated, but fortunately, we were able to find a room with an intact roof.
The two went into the room, piled up the wood they had brought from the other rooms, and started a fire.
Those pieces of wood were used for old, worn-out furniture.
The owner of the house seemed to have left in a great hurry, as the furniture and many decorations inside were not moved.
Much of the furniture was corroded; it would fall apart with the slightest kick and was used as fuel for fires.
The two dried their clothes by the fire.
Liu Dong took out a few steamed buns from the book box, roasted them over the fire, and handed them to Lian Chengbi.
Lian Chengbi thanked him, accepted the food, and began to eat.
"It tastes good."
"Of course. My mother made it herself."
However, the method of making the filling and how Liu Dong prepared it were told to Liu's mother.
Because of the rain, it quickly got dark.
Although there was a fire, the light inside the house was not good enough for anyone to read.
Lian Chengbi closed his eyes, appearing to be asleep, but in reality, he was cultivating his internal energy.
Liu Tong glanced at him and shook her head.
In this world, even the highest level of martial arts cannot solve some problems.
Take, for example, certain aspects of this house. Even before Liu Dong regained her memories, she knew this world was not simple.
His eyes can see ghosts.
Fortunately, he encountered not an evil spirit, but a kind spirit with whom he could communicate.
After communicating with the ghost, Liu Dong tried reciting scriptures for its salvation, and it actually succeeded in saving it from suffering.
After that, Liu Dong began to study Taoist scriptures, which actually taught him some methods for dealing with ghosts and monsters.
Later, after regaining his memories from several lifetimes, he began to cultivate Xuanmen techniques, and dealing with ghosts became a piece of cake.
The biological father in this life was personally helped to be reborn by Liu Dong.
He initially thought this was the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but after meeting Lian Chengbi, he realized it was the world of The Wizard of Oz.
It's not the fictional version of "The Wizard of Oz," but a fantasy novel with distinctive Chinese characteristics called "The Wizard of Oz."
This novel was written by Li Baichuan, a novelist from the Qing Dynasty. It was written around the same time as "Dream of the Red Chamber," both being novels from the Qianlong era.
Using the pursuit of immortality as a pretext, and the protagonist Leng Yubing's journey to immortality as a thread, this book depicts several realistic stories, "comprehensively and profoundly reflecting the social conditions of the Jiajing era in the Ming Dynasty, criticizing the politics of the time, and expressing the idea of punishing evil and promoting good."
Lian Chengbi is a major supporting character in the novel. He became a disciple of Leng Yubing and followed him in his cultivation.
Later, Leng Yubing became an immortal, rode a phoenix to the imperial palace, was bestowed the title of Universal Benevolence Immortal, and ascended to the Heavenly Court.
His disciples thus went to the Heavenly Court together and were enshrined as immortals.
Liu Tong suspects that when Gu Juju wrote Xiao Shiyi Lang, he might have read "The Wizard of Oz" and thus wrote Lian Chengbi as well.
As Liu Dong was thinking this, the being inside the house couldn't hold back any longer and came out to cause trouble before it was completely dark.
The aroma of Lian Chengbi's flesh and blood was simply too enticing.
Lian Chengbi practices martial arts and appears refined on the surface, but in reality, he has abundant qi and blood, which is a great tonic for demons and ghosts.
Liu Tong pretended not to have noticed anything, first letting Lian Chengbi confront those ghosts, shattering his worldview, before starting to reform him.
Lian Chengbi felt a chill on his face, opened his eyes, and saw two beautiful women in the room.
He couldn't help but shudder.
The two women appeared silently, which shows that they were highly skilled in martial arts. It's just unknown what they were up to.
Seeing that Lian Chengbi had opened his eyes, the woman smiled and greeted him, "Young master, the night is long. Why don't we sisters keep you company and add some fragrance to your life?"
Not much!
Lian Chengbi looked down on such a woman.
Moreover, although these two women are beautiful, they cannot compare to Shen Bijun, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world.
Lian Chengbi was used to seeing such beautiful women, so how could he be seduced by them?
Seeing that Lian Chengbi remained unmoved, the two women decided to resort to violence.
Lian Chengbi was horrified to discover that the two women's fingernails had grown longer, their faces had turned pale, and they exuded a ghostly aura, looking extremely terrifying.
Lian Chengbi quickly sprang up and used his lightness skill to retreat.
But then he saw two women floating in mid-air, closing in on him.
This is definitely not light-footed skill!
Could they be ghosts?
Lian Chengbi struck one of the women with a palm strike, but unexpectedly, his palm passed right through the woman's body.
Lian Chengbi: "??"
Holy crap! It really is a ghost!
Ghosts exist in this world?
How come he didn't notice this before?
Lian Chengbi's attacks were useless against the two female ghosts. He could only rely on his lightness skill to dodge their attacks, struggling to defend himself.
Having watched the show long enough, Liu Qiu spoke up: "Two female ghosts, burdened with sins, have harmed quite a few people, haven't they?"
Only then did the one person and two ghosts notice that there was another person in the room. (End of Chapter)
