Chapter 1771
Immortal Traces 9
Liu Tong: "Two evil spirits killed innocent people, so they should naturally go to the underworld to be judged and take a trip to the eighteen levels of hell. What, you want to plead for them and actually want to take them on as errand boys?"
I really wanted to take them, after all, these two ghosts could ride the wind, so their abilities were not weak.
Liu Tong: "In the mortal realm, if someone kills, they will be sentenced to death by the government. If a demon kills, it will naturally be punished by the laws of the underworld. Brother Leng, do you intend to bend the law for personal gain and protect a villain? Then how are you any different from the Yan family father and son?"
The difference is huge; at least he didn't bring disaster to the entire country.
But what Liu Dong said does make sense.
Humans who kill should pay with their lives, and ghosts who kill should also be punished.
Leng Yubing sighed and did not plead for the two evil spirits any further.
The four returned to the tofu shop to rest. The next day, they ate breakfast specially prepared by the old man: soy milk, tofu pudding, and steamed buns filled with tofu dregs.
After the four people left, no more evil spirits appeared in Liujia Village.
The old man understood that those four people must have dealt with the evil spirit and told the others about it.
Others told others about it, and the story spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and the image of the four wise and chivalrous men became known among the people.
Liu Dong and Lian Chengbi had no specific destination, so they followed Leng Yubing.
Leng Yubing's journey is his path to immortality, with countless ghosts and monsters waiting for him along the way to feed him experience for leveling up.
Liu Dong and the other two, along with him, witnessed many ghosts and monsters.
They encountered a harmful fox spirit, killed a snake spirit and a centipede spirit, and even slew a giant turtle in the Sichuan River to save merchants...
During their visit to Mount Tai, they discovered an ancient cave.
They pushed open the cave door and went inside, where they saw "a winding pavilion with railings, a red-lacquered chamber and a scripture pavilion, stone beds and chairs, stone tables and benches, stone cups and bowls, and all sorts of other things, all complete."
The four large characters "Qiongyan Cave Mansion" are carved in the stone chamber.
Leng Yubing felt a connection to this cave and suggested staying there for a while to cultivate.
Lian Chengbi and Liu Tong agreed.
Lian Chengbi sensed that his cultivation level was on the verge of improvement, and he decided to upgrade his cultivation level in this cave.
The four of them then settled down in the cave for the time being.
The cave contains grain, cloth, and other items, which were likely left behind by our ancestors. They are well-preserved and still usable today.
The four of them no longer needed to go out of the mountains to buy supplies.
This cave was indeed an opportunity prepared by the heavens for Leng Yubing; it was originally the cave dwelling of a great Taoist master.
That great being has already ascended to heaven, leaving behind a Taoist book, "Precious Script Heavenly Chapter".
This Taoist book is very profound. Leng Yubing benefited greatly from reading it and improved his strength significantly by practicing according to the book.
Liu Dong and Lian Chengbi had also read "The Precious Heavenly Chapters," but it was not as good as the cultivation techniques they practiced, so they didn't pay any more attention to it after reading it.
The four of them cultivated in the mountains for half a year.
Everyone's abilities have been improved.
Lian Chengbi has already reached the level of an immortal in this world.
However, his name was not recorded in the register of immortals, and no immortals invited him to the immortal realm.
After leaving Mount Tai, the four of them immediately went to the best restaurant in the city.
Living in the mountains for a long time, they only ate grains and foods like Solomon's seal, and their mouths became so bland that even birdsong was no longer a thing.
Of course, we should have a good meal.
Even though Leng Yubing has now cultivated Taoism, he cannot escape the desire for food.
The four people ordered a table full of delicious dishes and were eating when one person went upstairs.
The man was in his early twenties, dressed in a brocade robe, and handsome; he clearly came from an extraordinary background.
The waiter at the restaurant confirmed their guess.
The waiter greeted him very attentively, saying, "Young Master Wen."
After being given the task of gathering information by Liu Dong and Lian Chengbi, Jin Buhuan fell in love with this profession. Before coming to Mount Tai, he had already gathered all the information about the area around Mount Tai.
Jin Buhuan: "His surname is Wen, and he looks so handsome, he must be Wen Ruyu, the son of the Governor of Ancheng."
After Leng Yubing practiced the "Precious Seal Heavenly Chapter", his strength was much higher than when he first reunited with Liu Lianchengbi, and he could already be called a half-immortal.
Leng Yubing is able to sense things or people related to him in advance.
For example, right now.
Leng Yubing: "This person is someone I have a connection with."
Liu Tong: "..."
Liu Dong's expression was indescribable.
Lian Chengbi asked curiously, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Liu Tong: "It's nothing, I just remembered an old friend."
Lian Chengbi: "??"
He had known Liu Tong since they were teenagers. Who among Liu Tong's old friends did he not know?
Leng Yubing stood up and greeted Wen Ruyu, "Brother, would you like to have a drink?"
All four of them, including Leng Yubing and Lian Chengbi, were exceptionally handsome. Leng Yubing, Lian Chengbi, and Liu Dong were all good-looking men. Jin Buhuan, though slightly less so, was still a tall and imposing figure.
Wen Ruyu had a good first impression of them and came over after receiving an invitation from Leng Yubing.
They then discussed literature and their insights. Leng Yubing's knowledge made Wen Ruyu feel inferior, and Wen Ruyu was eager to make friends with a few people.
Leng Yubing: "Brother Wen is destined for the Dao. If he can sever his love and become a monk, he will surely achieve something and be able to enter the ranks of immortals."
Wen Ruyu refused him outright.
He was the son of an official family, born into wealth and privilege, and was born to enjoy life.
Why not enjoy a good life instead of suffering?
What do you mean by becoming an immortal?
Wen Ruyu didn't believe it!
Wen Ruyu got angry and left immediately.
Leng Rubing: "If you encounter danger, call my name three times. I will come to your rescue."
Leng Rubing's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Wen Ruyu's ears, who had already walked away.
Wen Ruyu paused for a moment, thinking to herself that this person had some ability, then left him behind and strode away.
Jin Buhuan poured Leng Yubing a glass of wine and said, "Uncle Leng, is this person really your disciple? Putting aside him, his family wouldn't agree to him becoming a monk, would they?"
Leng Rubing: "Life is unpredictable! He is destined to be connected with Taoism."
The four people stayed in Tai'an City for a few days before leaving.
After they left, the Wen family suffered a great calamity, and Wen Ruyu, a noble young man, was left to wander the streets.
However, at this time he was only focused on saving his family business and still had no intention of becoming a monk.
Leng Rubing didn't have the energy to deal with him.
At this time, Shaanxi was hit by a disaster, and a large number of victims faced the risk of death.
Meanwhile, officials in the imperial court embezzled disaster relief funds and grain, completely disregarding the lives of the people.
The biggest corrupt official among them was Yan Shifan.
The former cold-bloodedness was powerless against the Yan family father and son, but now...
Leng Rubing used her magic to empty the private treasuries of a group of corrupt officials, led by Yan Shifan. These treasuries contained the dirty silver they had embezzled.
Leng Rubing used silver to buy a large amount of food, which she distributed to the disaster victims, ensuring their survival in this natural and man-made calamity.
As a result, Leng Rubing gained a great deal of merit, and his strength increased rapidly and noticeably.
Liu Dong saw that Leng Rubing's cultivation had reached the edge of ascension to immortality. (End of Chapter)
