Ranshan School

Chapter 25 Ranshan Sect

When Zhao Qi returned to the Chen family's wing room, his shoes and hem were soaked by mud and water. It wasn't because he got wet on the road - he had excellent light body skills, and there was a hazy moonlight tonight, so he could see the mud and puddles on the road clearly. When he returned to the outside of the Chen family's mountain wall, there was only a slightly thick layer of mud on the soles of his shoes.

The problem was this layer of mud. When he went out, he left a window for himself in his room. Originally, when he got to the bottom of the mountain wall, he could jump into the room through the window with a leap and a little leverage on the wall. But when he was leveraging, the mud on the soles of his shoes slipped, and he didn't fall to the ground, but stepped into a puddle, splashing his lower body with mud.

He took off his shoes and Taoist robes angrily and threw them on the ground. He sighed and kicked them all under the bed to avoid being discovered by the Chen family.

These days, he has been showing himself as a detached master, so that the Chen family can't figure out the depth of his Taoism and avoid looking down on him. So far, he feels that he has performed well - for example, this time, Chen Xin asked him for help in the evening, so he can tell him tomorrow morning that the young man named Li Jiye is indeed the young master of the Li family in Lijiawan. This is what he casually deduced. This is the method of the gods.

But if they find muddy shoes and Taoist robes, they will think, oh, Master Zhao will also step into the mud? It's not much different from us ordinary people!

Once they have this idea, they will inevitably look down on him and no longer be as respectful as before. These mountain and wild villagers are the most ignorant of advance and retreat, and are stubborn and difficult to deal with - this is all taught by his master. He has understood that what his master said is indeed reasonable.

Thinking of his master, Zhao Qi paced anxiously in the room for a few more times.

He came to Jinshui this time to find his master Zhao Kui. Fourteen years ago, the master suddenly said that he had found the method of longevity and was going down the mountain to find a treasure place to cultivate the method. He lit a longevity lamp and asked the disciples to add 100 kilograms of lamp oil to it every year. He said that if he succeeded, the lamp would shine with rays of light, and if he died, the soul lamp would go out. Then he left Ranshan with the treasure of the sect, "Golden Chanzi". He was only sixteen years old at that time.

The brothers thought that the master would come back in a few years at most - except for occasionally hearing that someone in the Eight Divisions of the Mysterious Sect ascended to heaven, who in the remaining sects had ever heard of someone becoming an immortal?

But no one expected that this wait would last fourteen years. Without the treasure of the sect, the disciples of the Ranshan Sect had to rely on their own talents and elixirs to build their foundation, but where in the world could there be so many talents? Even if there were, they would have gone to the Eight Divisions of the Mysterious Sect long ago. Therefore, the Ranshan Sect has been declining for the past fourteen years. By last year, he was the only one left on Ranshan Mountain guarding a few houses that were about to collapse and his master's longevity lamp.

Then, a few days ago, the lamp went out.

Zhao Qi knew that his master must be dead. Maybe something went wrong when practicing some whimsical technique, or maybe he was killed by his enemies. These are common things on the road of cultivation, but the key is that the golden entanglement that the master brought down the mountain is not only a treasure that can help ordinary people build a foundation, but also has a "magic letter" under it. Whoever gets this treasure with a magic letter will have the qualifications to establish a sect in the land outside the Eight Divisions of Xuanjiao. This is something that many Taoist masters would risk their lives to get!

He thought that if his master really died in a secret cave and he could find him, he might be able to get the golden entanglement and bury his master properly. Then he lived in seclusion and practiced for decades. If he was lucky enough to form a pill, he would take the golden tangle to a remote and desolate place to establish a sect, which would be worth his life in this world.

He searched all the way and found the traces left by his master, and then came to Jinshui.

Jinshui is a remote place, but it is not far from the territory of the Eight Divisions of Xuanjiao. Zhao Qi felt that his master would never choose to practice immortality here. But the clues ended here, and the money and food he brought were exhausted. It happened that the town owner Chen Xinxin had only taken over this place for a few years and needed to offer sacrifices to a fairy sorcerer, so he pinched his nose and stayed.

These days, he did not sit around waiting for good luck to come, but was planning something - if he did this, he should be able to confirm the clues of his master.

But the price he needed to do was not small. First, he had to offer three things - dragon, phoenix, and tiger. When he passed by Qingjiang City, he bought a roll of snake skin, the scales were the size of fingernails, which he used as a raincoat, which was useful. There are many chickens in Jinshui Town. He has selected a large rooster with colorful feathers and fed it in the backyard of the Chen family with the elixir residue brought down from the mountain. In a few days, the spirituality will be sufficient.

Now the only thing missing is the tiger. The dragon is not a real dragon, and the phoenix is ​​not a real phoenix. This tiger must be a fresh adult male tiger bone, otherwise the work cannot be done, but it is easy to provoke evil spirits. Another thing is a noble person. This Jinshui Town is not noble, but he has seen the horoscope of the daughter of the town owner Chen Xin, named Chen Xiu, and it is barely usable.

Town owner Chen Xin looks like a daughter slave, but since a person can be the town owner, he must know the general situation. At that time, just say that this matter is to drive away the evil spirits in the town, and then give him a pill to convince him that he can have a son, and he should agree readily.

A few days ago was a suitable day, but the butcher in the town fled overnight, so the matter was delayed. But after tonight, Zhao Qi felt that this delay was not a bad thing.

Because he found the real noble man - the young master named Li Jiye from Lijiawan.

When it comes to the Ranshan School, people always think that the best method is paper puppetry, but in fact, the disciples of Ranshan are better at observing qi. Just now, when the child was talking in a daze and stumbling, he had already observed his qi on the roof - extremely noble! That's how he determined Li Jiye's identity. If he wasn't the son of the real town master, he wouldn't have such aura.

Before, he was still wondering if this boy could survive the flood. Was there something strange about it? After seeing it tonight, all the doubts were gone - people with such noble qi in their lives, as long as they were not manipulated by outsiders like himself, even if they experienced natural disasters and man-made disasters, they would only suffer more torture and would never die.

Before this, he was still thinking about what to do next if this thing didn't work out. But now with Li Jiye, he doesn't even need to think about the next step.

There is just one thing - these days he sneaks into the Chen family's kitchen every night and sprinkles some elixir residue into the prepared rice and flour, in order to cultivate Chen Xiu's spirituality. And this has to be more cautious with Li Jiye. People in Jinshui said that the Li family of Lijiawan has been the town master for nearly a hundred years, and has a deep foundation. This Li Jiye is not like Chen Xiu who has never seen the world. I am afraid that he has seen real elixirs.

Moreover, people with such nobleness are mostly lonely and evil. Now that his family has all died, I am afraid that there will be some enemies and creditors around him. To cultivate his spirituality, I am afraid that the investment will be greater and the time will be longer.

Zhao Qi paced a few more steps and slowly sat down by the bed. He decided to go to see the boy openly tomorrow. If he is as stupid as a pig, then things will be easy. If he was really smart, he might as well ask him to become his master, and give him some elixirs legitimately, and wait until the end...

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi let out a sigh of relief. In the end, everything will be taken back... If he really gets the golden entanglement and makes the elixir, as long as he doesn't go crazy like his master, what else can't he get?
