Chapter 58: The news brought by Xiao Chengqian

Wu Laogui covered his buttocks and looked at me with contempt. Chengxin and Xiao Chengqian shouted at me, “Even if you conquer my body with a willow whip, your behavior makes me despise you and you will never conquer my heart.”

Xiao Chengqian looked at Wu Laogui and roared, “You know nothing.”

Chengxin was calm, looking at Lao Wu with a sideways glance and saying, “Do I need to conquer your heart?”

Wu Laogui had just been whipped twice on the buttocks by Xiao Chengqian with a willow branch dipped in water with a charm, and he was secretly resentful. He simply floated over to Ruoxue and said loudly, “Miss Ruoxue, you just heard it, right? In their ‘filthy’ minds, what does it mean for Wu Ma to be a horse? Miss Ruoxue, they are shameless for being such a lowlife as cultivators. If I, Wu Yanwu, wanted to see that dirty thing, I wouldn’t have to buy a DVD. I could just go to a video store and watch it. But have I ever done that? In contrast, I am like the snow on the high mountains, and they are like the mud in the pond.

“Oh?” Ru Xue looked at me thoughtfully and suddenly asked me, “Chengyi, is it good to watch?”

I suddenly blushed, and Xiao Chengqian, the young master, who had a bad temper, scolded Wu Laogui: “What do you know about the Wu family’s way of life? We are Taoist priests, not monks. We don’t need to suppress our true nature. If we don’t let our hearts be free, it will be counterproductive.”

Brother Chengxin also chimed in: “The old Li school also emphasizes the release of one’s true nature. In the end, it is a process of entering the world. Since you want to be an ordinary person, well, an ordinary man, avoiding it like a snake and a scorpion is hypocritical. Master once said, if you don’t pick it up, how can you put it down?”

The Wu lineage is indeed from the same origin as my master. No matter how different their paths are, their views on the heart of Taoism are surprisingly consistent. You must first pick up the seven emotions and six desires, and then finally put them down, and your heart will naturally be in harmony.

As for me, looking at me with a smile that was half-smile and half-sorrow, I could only stammer, “That Ru Xue, I am first and foremost… a man, and then… a Taoist priest, right?”

Ru Xue turned her head and whispered, “That’s right. It has nothing to do with whether or not you have a dirty mind. Taoist priests can also marry and have children. Are you afraid of seeing anything without a horse? If you can do it, but you can’t see it, it’s also fake.”

This time, even the honest old Zhang laughed. He probably had a deeper understanding of the cultivator from then on. It was indeed not necessarily related to the immortal style and the pure and white snow. Only Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao were still confused.

Wu Laogui had already floated in front of Brother Chengxin and whispered, “I’ve seen it in the video hall before. Poor me, I’m already a spirit, and I can only watch and be sad. But I really haven’t seen anything without a horse. You worship me, right? When will you get me a DVD to watch?”

Chengxin looked at Wu Laogui again and said, “Aren’t you the snow-capped mountain?”

Wu Lao Gui smiled sheepishly. I didn’t bother to pay any attention to this Wu Lao Gui, but instead looked at Xiao Chengqian. At this time, his men and horses had all come down, and some of them were waiting ten meters away from us, remaining vigilant.

I looked at Xiao Chengqian and said, “Let’s get to the point. You came here for the rumored tomb of the immortal, didn’t you? You came here for that rumor?”

Xiao Chengqian took out a cigar, and in this cold and snowy weather, he didn’t mind the trouble. He carefully cut it, and then slowly warmed it up. Then he tore a piece of firewood and lit it. After taking a puff, he said slowly, “There is no need to hide it from you. It is indeed for the fairy tomb. You can go. You can’t compete with us.”

“What do you mean?” I pushed away the cigar that Xiao Chengqian handed me and lit a cigarette, but my expression was calm.

“Bumpkin.” Xiao Chengqian looked at me with contempt and said, “Let’s sit down and talk. I’ve been traveling for the past few days, and my bones are almost shattered. Riding a horse is hard on my legs.”

“Then you became a horse-less person?” In the meantime, I had already sat down in the snow.

Xiao Chengqian smiled and gave me a punch, sat down next to me, and said, “Don’t bullshit, let’s get down to business. To be more specific, this time we came in large numbers, with elders coming in, entering the old forest and hearing rumors of the opening of the tomb of the great demon’s soul, and then splitting into four teams heading in four different directions. The rest of the people are still heading towards the fairy tomb. You are lucky to have met me, otherwise you would have had to fight.

“If you don’t want to, we’ll have to fight.” I took a puff of smoke and said it very directly.

“More than half a year ago, you beat up Lin Chen at the ghost market, right?” Xiao Chengqian suddenly said.

“Hmm.” I didn’t understand what Xiao Chengqian meant by this.

“I want to say two things. First, Lin Chen is here, and second, since you can beat Lin Chen, you can beat me too. The guys behind me are from our company, and they’re useless. I can turn around and leave without saying a word, but it’s useless for you to get the soul of the great demon.” Xiao Chengqian said very directly.

“Why is it useless?” When I asked this question, I already thought about why Xiao Chengqian said it like this. When I thought about it carefully, it really was useless. The reason was very simple. Even if we got the soul of the great demon, we would rush towards the tomb of the immortal. At that time, we would not be facing Xiao Chengqian, but a group of them, and the elders would be involved.

I frowned, smoked heavily, and didn’t say a word.

Xiao Chengqian sighed and said, “It seems that I don’t need to explain, and you understand that you can’t pass this last hurdle. Chengyi, I’m not going to beat around the bush. At that time, I couldn’t help you. Friendship is friendship, but position is position. And if you really quit, the Immortal Tomb is very important to us!

“It’s also very important to me,” I said in a low voice.

“Can it be important to us? Your master has clearly disappeared. There is news that he has returned to Kunlun. However, our master, that is, my maternal grandfather, is still missing. Although there is a great possibility that he has also returned to Kunlun, so…” Xiao Chengqian said this with a hint of sadness.

I patted Xiao Chengqian on the shoulder and said, “So, that’s why my master took a large group of your elders away, right?”

The elders who left had a deep relationship with Xiao Chengqian. After all, their lineage was different from our old Li “bachelor” lineage, which was really “bachelor” and had a declining population. It was a real disciple, or a family-style inheritance. As a real young master, the people who left were very likely to have a great relationship with Xiao Chengqian in terms of blood.

“I don’t want to talk about this. If it weren’t for this, how could Lin Chen have gained power? Anyway, to put it simply, our ancestors are also said to have died. This immortal tomb is very likely to be the burial place of our ancestors. You say, isn’t it very important for us? Chengyi, you quit?” Xiao Chengqian was still persuading me.

My brows were furrowed. To be honest, this news shocked me. It is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with me. Old Li is our master, so if it is really the tomb of Master Xiao Chengqian, then it can also be said to be the tomb of my great-uncle. Are there more clues in it?

After all, finding Kunlun has always been my obsession. Whether it is my search for my master or my persistence in the path of cultivation, they all constitute the main body of this obsession!

“It’s impossible to give up now. If there’s no way out, then we can talk about giving up. You guys are in the majority, so give me some information. I know that besides your lineage, there are also a group of people who came to the immortal tomb this time. Who are they? Do you have any news?” I asked Xiao Chengqian.

“The other group is evil cultivators. You have participated in the ghost market, so you should know that there are two major forces, the light and the dark. That group of people is the dark organization! To be honest, we got this information because we planted an important pawn in their organization. After analyzing it, we think it may be the grave of our ancestors.” Xiao Chengqian sold me the information very directly.

“I think you’re overthinking it. This is impossible. This immortal tomb existed in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, your ancestors were still active, right? How could they be buried here? Can’t you figure this out?” The more I think about it, the more I think my analysis is correct.

You know, my master’s traces of activity can still be found after the liberation, and I judge that my master was a person from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. How could his master be?

Xiao Chengqian looked at me and smiled mysteriously, saying, “This is the secret. I won’t tell you.”

Secret? I couldn’t figure out what secret could link the two things together, but I wouldn’t think about it too hard and asked directly, “Give me some news about that group of people.” Somehow, I thought of Feng Wei, the one who was defeated by me after I took advantage of a loophole in the ghost market.

If that was the case, I was afraid I would have to say, “Wherever you go in life, you will meet people.”
