Chapter 166: Unlucky Feng Shui Master Chen Xu

Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun who made the promise and immediately relaxed. Since Xie Lingyun said so, there would be no problem.

Zhang Chen then unfolded the Shangqing Notebook in his hand and said shyly, "Sister, this notebook is very strange. When I finished reading the runes on the notebook that day, 360 of them disappeared out of thin air."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen handed the book to Xie Lingyun, his eyes full of innocence: "I really was just taking a look, I didn't do anything, but the runes on the book disappeared out of thin air."

Xie Lingyun was stunned when he heard Zhang Chen's words. He quickly picked up the book, then quickly flipped through the entire book. His eyelids began to twitch constantly.

She checked personally and found that Zhang Chen had indeed not done anything wrong, but that was precisely why the situation became even more difficult.

"Did you learn something from the book?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen and expressed his speculation: "And because you absorbed the mysterious power of the book, the content of the book disappeared?"

Zhang Chen recalled that after he had created a complete talisman formation, the 360 ​​talismans turned into golden light and were absorbed by him. His heart skipped a beat: "Could it be true?"

Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen's expression and knew that he had guessed the truth. Looking at the blank talisman in his hand, Xie Lingyun scratched his head and said, "No one usually pays attention to this talisman. I will send it back quietly after I go back. No one may read it in the future. Even if someone reads it in the future, they can say that the ink has faded over time, so the rune disappeared. As long as they don't catch us, no one can blame us."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sister." Zhang Chen said a little embarrassedly.

"It's not a big deal, just a minor nuisance, not worth mentioning." Xie Lingyun said.

Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, Zhang Chen quickly poured a cup of tea for Xie Lingyun: "I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to my sister."

Xie Lingyun was not polite. He took the tea from Zhang Chen and asked, "There are seven days left before the discussion at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to go?"

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking: "This matter started because of me, so of course I have to go."

"Now that something like this has happened in Huangli Temple, I'm afraid you won't be allowed to go down the mountain easily. You can come down the mountain with me later and say you are visiting my house and will come back in a few days." Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen and put forward his opinion.

Zhang Chen hesitated slightly when he heard this. He didn't want to go to the Inspection Office, and even less did he want to face that old man Xie Xuan.

But Zhang Chen knew that those old guys were all shrewd people, and he was still not ready to face Xie Xuan directly.

He wanted to go into the mountains to look for flaws in the Feng Shui formation, thinking about how to break it and then take out the treasures from the Emperor's daughter's tomb.

"I can go down the mountain with my sister, but I still have some things to do. How about we say goodbye at the foot of the mountain?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xie Lingyun did not refute when he heard this, which was considered as agreeing with Zhang Chen's words.

So Zhang Chen talked with Xie Lingyun. After lunch, Zhang Chen carried the jar that sealed Xie Lingyun's inner demon and went down the mountain with Xie Lingyun.

As for the little kid? Zhang Chen always felt that it was not safe for the little guy to stay in the mountain, but when he thought about it, there were great monks in the mountain now, and Gu Mingyue, one of the twelve ancestors, was in charge of Huangli Temple, so there shouldn't be any danger, so he followed Xie Lingyun down the mountain.

Zhang Chen went down the mountain with Xie Lingyun for fun. Elders such as Liu Feng were secretly happy. Although he was not going to take up a post in the Inspection Office, the fact that Zhang Chen was invited by Xie Lingyun to go down the mountain as a guest was also a great progress in their relationship.

Now that you have come down the mountain to visit, is it still a long way before you can enter the Procuratorial Office?

All the way down the mountain, Zhang Chen held the jar and said goodbye to Xie Lingyun.

"Are you really not going back with me? It would be better to go there in advance to get familiar with the way, so that you won't be unable to find me when you want to find me in the future." Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen who was standing at the fork in the road and asked.

"I have another important matter. It is of great importance and must be done." Zhang Chen said.

Seeing this, Xie Lingyun could only nod helplessly: "In that case, you should go to the city as soon as possible after finishing your business. I will wait for you at the HSBC Fresh Restaurant in the city."

After Xie Lingyun finished speaking, he led hundreds of soldiers away.

Watching Xie Lingyun's departing figure, Zhang Chen secretly said to himself: "Xie Lingyun is already a great cultivator at the realm of possession, and can be regarded as someone who truly masters the mysterious existence. However, she is still accompanied by hundreds of armored guards when she travels. It can be seen that even if one's cultivation reaches her level, she cannot challenge the secular kingship."

"These soldiers are not simple." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon came from the jar.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen asked curiously. He could not see any blessing or interference from any mysterious power in his Dharma eyes.

"These soldiers are wearing iron armor, and it seems that they are also involved in the circulation of qi and blood. Although the training is not very real, they can already resist the possession of the body. As for the cultivators in the realm of driving objects, they are just things that can mobilize hundreds of kilograms of strength. Facing this group of warriors wearing special iron armor, maybe they can deal with ten or eight of them at a time, but if more than twenty of them attack together, even the cultivators in the realm of possession will have to retreat." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this. He watched Xie Lingyun go away, and then his eyes retracted and fell on the jar in his hand.

The jar is too big and not very convenient to hold.

"Old man, can I find you a new room?" Zhang Chen patted the jar.

"What are you going to do?" When the Great Freedom Demon heard Zhang Chen's words, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Zhang Chen directly took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from his bosom and opened the seal of the jar: "You tell me, do you want me to send you in, or do you want to go in by yourself?"

"How can I get into such a small bottle?" The Great Freedom Demon was immediately unhappy and began to resist, his words full of resistance.

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen stretched out his tone: "I think based on our current relationship, you won't ask me to do it myself, right?" Facing Zhang Chen's dominance, how can one not bow down under the eaves? The Great Freedom Demon was helpless and could only turn into a puff of black smoke and drill into the bottle, and then Zhang Chen covered the rune with one hand.

The next moment Zhang Chen turned into a bat and disappeared among the mountains.

The weather in the north is becoming increasingly drier, the moisture between heaven and earth is becoming increasingly scarce, and people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

Zhang Chen came to his own secret base and checked the prepared gunpowder. He found that no one had been here before. The number of bumblebees was even greater, probably tens of thousands.

“Could it be that all the bumblebees within a hundred miles have come here?” Zhang Chen controlled a giant snake from underground to crawl out and fed it directly to the falcon and the bumblebee. Then he walked into the mountain, trying to find the flaws in the Feng Shui formation.

Although Zhang Chen had acquired supernatural powers, he was not omniscient and omnipotent. He had no perception of the Feng Shui in front of him. In his eyes, the mountains in front of him were just ordinary mountains. There was nothing worthy of attention at all. If he had not dug the real dragon tomb himself and knew the location of the emperor's daughter's tomb, he would not have dared to believe that such a fortune could be buried in this place.

Zhang Chen opened his Dharma Eyes and scanned the world in all directions. He saw no mysterious aura circulating, and his heart felt a little relieved.

Ever since Xie Lingyun appeared in front of him, he has always been suspicious, thinking that Xie Xuan had done something to him, otherwise how could Xie Lingyun appear in the Taoist temple by such a coincidence?

Zhang Chen didn't know that he really misunderstood Xie Lingyun. The reason why Xie Lingyun went to Huangli Temple was all because of the Huangli Temple disciples who were preaching at the foot of the mountain. At that time, Xie Lingyun was desperate and had to go to Huangli Temple to look for opportunities.

"Even if I open my Dharma eyes, I can't see any trace of the Feng Shui formation here. I can't even see the Feng Shui formation, let alone find the tomb of the imperial daughter?" Zhang Chen felt a little troubled.

"As for the place where the twelfth-order mysterious existence is placed, it may be connected to the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter. But in my memory, there are various means arranged by a god of unknown level in the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter. Even the walls between the major tombs have been turned into gold, plus the feng shui formation, and various magical killing powers. If I want to enter the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter, the best way is to find the entrance."

But the entrance is not so easy to find.

Just when Zhang Chen was at a loss, suddenly a scream came from afar, which made Zhang Chen's heart move. Then it turned into a wisp of mist and shuttled between the branches. Thanks to the blockage of the big trees among the mountains, it was not eye-catching.

When getting closer to the source of the sound, Zhang Chen transformed from mist into a stream of water, rolling under the dead branches, and soon approached the source of the scream. What he saw was actually an old acquaintance of Zhang Chen.

The old village chief and the Feng Shui master named Chen Xu.

But now the Feng Shui master named Chen Xu is having a hard time. No matter how glorious he was when he was invited by the old village chief, he is in such a miserable state now.

In front of a dirt pit, Feng Shui master Chen Xu sat in the pit with a bruised face and a swollen nose. His eyes were filled with horror and his words were a little slurred: "Village chief, please give me another chance, and I will definitely dig out water for you."

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the old village chief stood in front of the big pit and smiled coldly: "Chen Xu, it's not that I didn't give you a chance. I have given you many chances. We followed you to dig big pits. I'm afraid we have dug dozens of them in the past few months. How can you say that I didn't give you a chance? It's you who didn't seize the opportunity, so you can't blame me."

"Over the past month, I have served you a lot of delicious food and drinks, right? I have also filled your stomach with a lot of meat, wine and food, right?" The old village chief simply squatted in front of the pit and looked at Chen Xu in the pit:
"In this drought year, you asked for a bath and we took one. We ate coarse food, bought you venison to go with your wine, and even found women to serve you. We treated you well, didn't we? How did you repay us? We followed you to dig dozens of wells in the mountains, but we didn't get a drop of water. How can I give you another chance?"

"Village chief, it's not that I, Chen Xu, am incompetent. The points where I pressed the acupoints are all water vein nodes. But who knew that the dragon was so powerful that it sucked away all the groundwater before we even dug it up." Chen Xu felt wronged at this moment: "Don't even mention asking me to press the acupoints. Even if you ask someone else to come, he can't do anything about the groundwater drying up! We have dragon-slaying skills, but there are no real dragons in this world."

At this time, Chen Xu was really wronged. Was it because his acupoint pressing technique was not good?

There is no water underground, so even if he has a million abilities, he can do nothing about it.

"According to our previous agreement, if you can't dig out water, you can either pay money to compensate us for the loss of food and drink for several months, or we will bury you alive on the spot to vent our anger. Do you have any money on you?" The old village chief said with a smile.

"Where do I have the money? Please believe me again. Although I have no money, I know that there is a Feng Shui formation in this mountain. There must be a big tomb inside the Feng Shui formation. If you listen to me and dig up that tomb, you will never have to worry about food and drink for several lifetimes." Feng Shui master Chen Xu in the pit seemed to have sensed the crisis, and quickly climbed up and stood in the pit begging.

He originally wanted to keep this Feng Shui tomb for himself. After he left the village, he would find a way to dig it up. Then he would never have to worry about food and drink for several lifetimes, and wealth and glory would be right before his eyes. However, this group of people had no moral principles and would not let him leave until he found water.

Now the whole land is suffering from drought and famine, where can he find water?
The most important thing is that these people are cruel and ruthless. After he couldn't find water, they actually wanted to keep him here. How could he not panic?

"Big tomb? You can keep it for yourself. It's just right for me to bury you here, along with that big tomb of yours." The old village chief didn't believe the other party's words at all. In the past few months, the other party had vowed time and again that he could find a water source and asked everyone to dig holes in the mountains. Now everyone has become a waste. Who would still believe him?

"Bury him!" The old village chief stood up and stepped back, saying to the ruffian beside him, "You're cheating me of food and drink, do you really think I'm a good person?"

"Wait! Why can't you trust me just one last time? I'm going to die anyway, and I can't return all your money and food and drink. Why can't you gamble again? One last time? Once it succeeds, you will get back all your losses. Even if you fail, you won't lose anything." The Feng Shui master in the pit shouted frantically. Seeing the soil being thrown down by the shovel, Chen Xu suddenly became anxious.

"The last time! Just the last time! If it fails, I am willing to be buried alive by you without any complaints in my heart." Feng Shui master Chen Xu made a crazy promise.

The old village chief was persuaded by his words. It was only the last time, so what was the harm in giving it a try?
After all, he still felt sorry for the money he had wasted and wanted to find an opportunity to make up for his losses.

"Pull him up." The village chief hesitated for a moment, looking at Chen Xu who was begging in the pit. Seeing that what the other party said did not sound like a lie, he was finally persuaded.

A group of ruffians stopped their actions and pulled Chen Xu out of the pit with a rope. After Chen Xu climbed out of the pit, he lay on the ground gasping for breath, feeling lucky that he had survived again.

The village chief looked at Chen Xu and urged him, "Hurry and find a place."

Chen Xu got up after hearing this, and without delaying, he led everyone through the mountains and finally came to a low-lying area:

"It's right here, start digging!"

The old village chief smiled grimly upon hearing this:
"Let's make a deal this time. This is our last chance. If it works, all our past scores will be written off. If it doesn't work, I'll just treat it as digging a grave for you. I hope you can die with your eyes closed."
