Chapter 33 Sect (1/2)

Er Gouzi finally passed the exam, and he felt much more relaxed on the way home from the county town.

He was in a good mood and bought a few big meat buns to eat while walking, his mouth full of oil.

When he walked to a densely wooded area, several people quickly caught up with him.

"Stop!"

He turned around and found that there were three people chasing him.

He knew one of them, the fat man in the sword shop.

The other two were a middle-aged man and a young man, neither of whom he knew.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to ask, do you still have this kind of copper coins or silver in your hand?"

The fat man said, taking out a copper coin and a small piece of broken silver.

Since Er Gouzi cultivated to the stage of sensing qi, he can sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

At this moment, he concentrated his mind and carefully sensed it. He could see that the copper coins and broken silver in the fat man's hand contained more spiritual energy.

Could it be that the money he took out of the gourd was seen by this kid?

Because no one had noticed the difference in this kind of money before, he took the convenience and usually put the money in a gourd.

You know, silver and copper coins are very heavy, and it is difficult to carry a lot of money with you.

A string of copper coins weighs about seven or eight kilograms, and it is the most that you can carry at a time.

Every time he sells the powerful pills, he gets a few hundred taels of silver, which is also dozens of kilograms.

A large amount of money is very heavy to carry around, and it is easy to attract robbers and thieves.

But now even if he is recognized, he will not admit it.

"I don't have any money on me now, and what's the difference between this money?"

"Boy, don't play dumb, tell the truth, where did you get all this money? Where did you hide it?"

The young man who came with the fat man obviously had no patience, drew a short sword, and threatened loudly.

At this moment, the three people have stood in a horn, surrounding Er Gouzi in the center.

Seeing that Er Gouzi didn't reply, the young man shook the short sword in his hand and stabbed at his neck.

Er Gouzi had fought with King Zhao several times, and now he had some experience. He drew out the heavy sword on his back and smashed it at the young man's short sword.

"Bang!"

After a slight sound, the young man was left with only the hilt of the sword, and the short sword had shattered all over the ground.

After Er Gouzi's sword, he continued to stab straight, slash, and slash...

"Puff!"

The young man was cut in half by a sword, and blood splattered.

"Pain! Pain! Pain..."

After being cut in half by a sword, he was not dead for a short time, and half of his body lay on the ground and cried out in pain.

Er Gouzi held the bloody sword, and he couldn't bear to see such a miserable situation, so he could only comfort him.

"Bear it, it won't hurt soon."

"Boy, you are so cruel!"

The middle-aged man shouted and drew out his waist knife to slash at Er Gouzi.

Er Gouzi swung a sword back, and this time, the middle-aged man on the opposite side actually avoided the collision of the swords.

The two fought for several moves in a row, and their weapons did not touch each other once.

This middle-aged man was much better than King Zhao. He knew that Er Gouzi had brute force, so he never confronted him head-on.

He just wandered around him, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Er Gouzi was very excited to meet such an opponent.

Now King Zhao was hiding from him, and he had been looking for someone to practice with, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

So he became more and more excited, more and more comfortable, and stronger.

Sometimes he could even use one or two moves from that set of sword techniques.

During the fight between the two, Er Gouzi found an opportunity, suddenly jumped forward a foot, approached the middle-aged man, and slashed with a sword.

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man could only block with a knife in a hurry.

But as soon as the sword touched, the middle-aged man felt a huge force coming, and the waist knife in his hand was shattered, and the bones in his arm were broken into several pieces.

Fortunately, he had rich combat experience and escaped two or three feet away in time, so he managed to save his life.

The middle-aged man stood far away at this moment, his right arm hanging down, probably useless.

"Good boy, you really have some strength, I almost fell into your hands."

"However, no matter how strong the brute force is, it is just a warrior after all. Today, I will let you see the means of a cultivator."

As the middle-aged man said this, two yellow talisman papers appeared on his remaining left hand.

Er Gouzi had seen such talisman papers used by his master to catch ghosts, exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, and pray for children for others before, but he didn't see any tricks at that time.

At this time, the middle-aged man spit out a mouthful of blood at the talisman paper, and then the two talisman papers turned into two rays of light, one blue and one yellow.

The yellow light fell on the middle-aged man and turned into a layer of golden light shield, covering the middle-aged man in it.

The blue light turned into more than a dozen wooden thorns in the air, shooting towards Er Gouzi rapidly.

Seeing this, Er Gouzi leaped up to a height of two feet in the air, and all the wooden spikes shot past his feet.

However, when he fell, the wooden spikes circled in the air and turned back to shoot at him.

At this time, people in the air had no way to avoid it.

In a hurry, he remembered that there was a move in the difficult sword technique that required wind and rain to be impervious.

He often practiced this move in heavy rain, and it was still inevitable that some rain would wet his clothes.

But it was enough to block these few dozen wooden spikes at the moment.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

After a burst of rapid sounds, the wooden spikes were cut off and turned into spiritual energy in the air and dissipated.

After cutting off these wooden thorns, Er Gouzi leaped forward and was already in front of the middle-aged man, raising his sword and slashing.

"Bang!"

A sword slashed the yellow light shield outside the middle-aged man's body, making a loud noise, but the light shield only shook for a moment and did not break.

"Bang bang bang..."

Er Gouzi used all his strength to blast several more swords, but still could not do anything to the light shield.

"Hehe, kid, the methods of immortals are not something you ordinary people can do."

As the middle-aged man said, another yellow talisman paper appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Er Gouzi was afraid that he would use some strange methods again, so he quickly mobilized the true energy in his dantian, went through the Jueyin pericardium meridian, came out of the Laogong acupoint, and poured it into the heavy sword.

After the true energy was poured in, the heavy sword gradually lit up with a dazzling light.

"You! You are also a cultivator!"

The middle-aged man saw this scene, as if he had seen a ghost.

He finally came out to rob a road, and wanted to bully the young man with decades of cultivation, how could he meet a cultivator!

Moreover, his cultivation level was much higher than his own, at least he had to practice Qi at the third level.

"Daoyou, what a misunderstanding!"

At this time, begging for mercy was useless, Er Gouzi could not control himself, and could only slash with a sword.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the yellow light shield, the middle-aged man, and the heavy sword in Er Gouzi's hand all exploded together.

The middle-aged man's broken flesh was spread all over the ground, and Er Gouzi was also stained with a lot of it.

It was a pity that the talisman paper in the middle-aged man's hand was also torn to pieces by the huge force, otherwise Er Gouzi would have wanted to pick it up and study it.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka..."

There was a strange sound behind him, and Er Gouzi looked back and saw that it was the little fat man in the sword shop.

The little fat man was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, with a large area of ​​wet under his pants, and accompanied by a foul smell.

The little fat man wanted to speak, but his lips trembled, and the upper and lower rows of teeth collided with each other, making a ka Ka sound, but he couldn't speak.

It was the first time that Er Gouzi saw such a coward.

He walked over and slapped the little fat man a few times, finally making him stop shaking.

"You're done, you killed someone from Daoxuan Sect, you're in big trouble."

After the little fat man recovered a little, he was still thinking about threatening Er Gouzi.

"It seems you know a lot of things."

Er Gouzi glanced around. The scene here was too tragic, and it was on the side of the official road, so it was not suitable for interrogation.

Immediately, he untied the package on the body and found a copper plate in the broken meat on the ground. He picked it up and stuffed it into the bag.

Then he picked up the little fat man and went into the woods on the side of the road.

After walking for more than ten miles, he found a deserted place and threw the little fat man on the ground.

"Tell me what happened?"

"Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything!"

The little fat man hugged Er Gouzi's legs, tears and snot all over his face.

Er Gouzi had figured out no less than ten ways to force a confession, but now none of them worked, and the little fat man confessed everything.

He felt that this punch hit the air, which was boring.

Half an hour later, Er Gouzi left alone, leaving behind the body of the little fat man.

The little fat man was indeed cowardly enough, and he did not need to be tortured. He confessed everything clearly, and learned a lot of information from him.

But this man was too cowardly, and Er Gouzi was worried about him, so it would be easier to kill him.

According to the little fat man, he was tempted by money and was afraid of Er Gouzi's strength, so he secretly contacted the people of Daoxuan Sect to work together.

The little fat man said that this Daoxuan Sect was a sect of immortals, with many immortals, very mysterious and amazing.

Their sword shop occasionally helped Daoxuan Sect to make some things, and they had some exchanges with each other.

But he even invited the immortals, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate and meet a stronger master.

Er Gouzi was holding an ancient leather book in his hand, which he had just found from the little fat man.

The cover of the book had three big characters "Bai Bing Pu".

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, finally encountering a book with a beginning and an end.

The books in the master's hand had no covers, and even the titles were unknown.

He flipped through them casually. The first half of the book introduced a lot of materials, and recorded many kinds of rare materials that had never been heard of, including his Hundred Refinements of Copper Essence and Hundred Refinements of Silver Essence.

The second half of the book introduced many strange forging methods.

Er Gouzi thought he could learn it when he had time, anyway, many skills are better than nothing.

In addition to this book, he also found a few taels of silver.

He picked up a copper plate with only the word "black" written on it, and he didn't know what it was used for.

Er Gouzi walked back to the official road, and it was already dark.

He thought about it in his heart, and then turned around and walked towards the county town.

Since he had killed the fat man and offended the sword shop, he might as well kill his whole family.

In order to avoid revenge from him in the future, it would be too troublesome to kill him back and forth.

However, he was still a step late when he rushed back to the county town overnight.

When he walked outside the sword and knife shop, he saw flames rising to the sky, and several surrounding shops were all engulfed in flames.

Standing in the crowd and watching for a while, he didn't see anyone in the sword and knife shop.

Listening to the onlookers' comments, it seemed that the whole family accidentally burned to death in the shop.

Since everyone was dead, Er Gouzi could save himself some trouble.

After a fight and such a long journey, he was already tired and hungry, so he bought ten big meat buns at the bun shop, ate them while walking, and continued to walk home at night.

After returning to Shekou Mountain, he fell asleep immediately. It took him three days to recover the energy consumed in his dantian.

He immediately went to Sanchazi Town to find his master.

"Master, have you heard of Daoxuan Sect?"

Li Banxian's expression tightened when he heard this.

"What's wrong? You must not contact them, you will lose your head, or even your entire family will be exterminated."

"Why?"

Er Gouzi used to only focus on farming and had never been involved in this aspect.

"All sects must obtain approval from the government before they can be opened in specific locations, and there are strict requirements for the number of people in the sect."

"Sects that have not been approved and registered by the government are all cults."

"Cults often do not obey the orders of the government, and they also privately teach the cultivation of immortals. The government will catch and kill them one by one."

"Daoxuan Sect is such a cult."

Li Banxian said this and took a big sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Speaking of privately teaching the cultivation method, the thing he regrets most now is that he accepted Er Gouzi as his apprentice.

Er Gouzi didn't know, but he knew it clearly. It was a serious crime to teach immortal cultivation skills privately.

The powerful officials taught it, but a fortune teller like him who had no power would be beheaded if he was caught.

He didn't expect that the tattered skills were real, and that this silly boy had practiced it without knowing it.

"Master, there is another happy event. I have successfully applied for the exam and am ready to take the exam for Wu Xiucai."

Er Gouzi felt that he should share this joy with his master.

"What? So fast?"

Li Banxian was surprised, and the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground. He was not surprised, but terrified.

"I want to try it. What if it works?"

Er Gouzi didn't have much confidence in whether he could pass the exam for Wu Xiucai. He just wanted to give it a try.

Ordinary people had no fame and could be manipulated wherever they went. Those yamen runners could beat them and scold them as they pleased.

But Li Banxian was in turmoil.

I'm afraid that the secret of teaching immortal cultivation techniques can no longer be concealed.

As long as Ergouzi takes the exam, people will definitely find out something.

When he is accused of teaching immortal cultivation techniques, ten heads will not be enough to chop off.

And as Ergouzi's strength becomes stronger and stronger, it will be more difficult to fool him in the future.

If he is exposed one day, his old bones will not be able to withstand the beating.

In total, he has cheated a lot of money from Ergouzi, and it's time to leave.

"Ergou, your master is going to go on a long journey recently."

"Ah? Where is your master going and how long will it take to come back?"

Ergouzi felt it was too sudden.

"Master is going to Kunwu Mountain to pick some immortal herbs. It will take at least three to five years, and at most more than ten years. You should take care of yourself and don't slack off!"

"Kunwu Mountain?"

Er Gouzi had heard about it in stories. There is a Kunwu Mountain in the world. There live immortals on the mountain. They can fly in the clouds, swallow swords and spit fire. They have boundless magic power and are definitely not on the same level as ordinary immortals.

"Master, can you take me to see it?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it. He still has dozens of acres of fields in Shekou Mountain, and a large group of geese that no one takes care of.

"Kunwu Mountain is 108,000 miles away and 100,000 feet high. How can ordinary people go there!"

Li Banxian wanted to get rid of Er Gouzi, so how could he take him with him?

However, before leaving, he felt that he had to get the last sum of money from Er Gouzi.
