Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 160 Ao Tianlong and Zheng Zibu, masters gather
"set off!"

Three days later in the morning, Zhuge Kongping and Li Kunshan officially set off for the ghost-hunting convention.

This time the location was set in an unnamed mountain in Shu, four thousand miles away from Hehuan Town. In order to facilitate the journey, Zhuge Kongping specially rode the Thunderbolt Chariot he invented.

The so-called Thunderbolt car is similar to an ordinary bicycle, but it cannot carry people on the back seat. Instead, it has a device called the "Thunderbolt Yin-Yang Spirit Transmitter", which is actually a hand-cranked generator.

Although Zhuge Kongping came from the Zhuge family, a lineage of astrologers, he had been fascinated by magic since childhood and often invented small things. He had asked a foreign missionary to make him a generator, but later he researched it himself and unexpectedly made this miniature version, which he mounted on a bicycle.

In this way, electricity can be generated and stored when pedaling a bicycle. When enough electricity is stored, it is released to drive the wheels forward. It can be regarded as a hybrid semi-electric vehicle.

I have to say that this is very good in this era. Even the time traveler Li Kunshan can't help but admire him.

"I don't know who chose this place so far away."

However, they had only been walking for less than half a day when Zhuge Kongping began to look depressed.

Even if he pedaled for a while and then rested for a while, it was still a bit too much for him because of his obese body.

Moreover, this is on a flat road. Once we get on the small trails or even pass through the mountains, it will definitely be more difficult.

"Mr. Zhuge, let's use this."

Li Kunshan followed beside him, looking relaxed even though he was walking, and took out a talisman for shrinking the earth.

"No need! My Thunderbolt car is great and fast, definitely not slower than yours!"

Zhuge Kongping looked unconvinced and couldn't help but turn on the accelerator, but after running a few meters, the power ran out.

In order not to embarrass himself in front of Li Kunshan, he held his breath until his face and neck turned red, and he stuck his butt out and pedaled hard.

"Never mind, let me help you."

Seeing that Zhuge Kongping took a long time to pedal a short distance, Li Kunshan shook his head, caught up with him in one step, and released an arc of electricity at the generator.

Buzz~!

In just a blink of an eye, the battery was fully charged and the car rushed out.

"Wow! That feels so good! That's right!"

Riding on the bike, Zhuge Kongping's face was full of excitement. He gripped the handlebars tightly to control the direction and shouted loudly.

Next, with the help of Li Kunshan, the semi-electric car became a fully electric car, and the travel speed was much faster.

"I never thought that at such a young age, you have already mastered thunder magic to this level."

At night, the two stopped to rest. Zhuge Kongping glanced at Li Kunshan next to him. Although he was still competing with him in his heart, he had to praise him.

Anyone who has mastered the power of thunder magic knows that it is powerful. Therefore, anyone who has mastered the power of thunder magic can often cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack with a single wave of their hands. This is nothing surprising.

The truly amazing ones are like Li Kunshan, who can even charge generators, which shows that his control over lightning has reached an extremely sophisticated level.

"It's just practice that makes perfect."

Li Kunshan smiled and said lightly.

"嘁~!"

Zhuge Kongping rolled his eyes. He was out of breath just after he said he was fat. He was even more pretentious than him.

After a night's rest, the two continued on their journey at dawn the next day.

However, after walking for just half a day, we found ourselves on a rugged mountain road that stretched as far as the eye could see. Regardless of whether the bicycle had electricity or not, it could not be ridden unless the two wheels of the bicycle became two legs.

Li Kunshan stood aside and watched what Zhuge Kongping would do.

With his physique, it is difficult for him to walk on the mountain road by himself, so it is impossible for him to carry a bicycle. If he were to just leave it here, he probably wouldn't be willing to do so.

"...Can this still happen?"

Just as I was wondering, I saw Zhuge Kongping quickly dismantled the bicycle, used the bicycle beam as a load, tied it up and carried it on his shoulders.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the detachable bicycle. It's really cool that a little sparrow can peck at a cow's butt.

Zhuge Kongping strode forward with a smug look on his face. But less than an hour later, he was sweating and panting. Although carrying the load was more convenient than carrying it on his back, the weight hadn't decreased at all.

"I'll do it."

How long will we get to the destination if we walk like this? Li Kunshan said, and took the bicycle parts from Zhuge Kongping's shoulders. Zhuge Kongping really couldn't carry it anymore, and he didn't try to force himself anymore.

"Thanks... this is it!"

He originally thought that Li Kunshan was going to help him carry it, but the next moment, Li Kunshan stretched out his hand and actually sucked the bicycle into his body.

Zhuge Kongping widened his eyes, walked around Li Kunshan a few times with curiosity on his face, and was puzzled.

"What method did you use? Or some kind of magical instrument? Is it a magical instrument that can store things? Oh, no wonder you don't even need to carry a gift when you go out!"

"Stop asking so many questions and hurry on."

Li Kunshan did not explain and directly stuck a shrinking talisman on Zhuge Kongping's leg.

Li Kunshan didn't say anything, and Zhuge Kongping snorted in his heart, thinking that he would definitely be able to figure out the trick along the way.

"Wait for me!"

He was slightly distracted and realized that Li Kunshan was already more than a hundred meters away. Zhuge Kongping shouted and hurried to catch up.

He instantly appeared a hundred meters away. Looking back and then at the shrinking talisman on his leg, Zhuge Kongping couldn't help but smile. This thing was really useful.

Next, the two of them used the Shrinking Earth Talisman to speed up their journey, and their journey immediately became much faster.

"This forest doesn't seem very clean."

That night, when they passed through a forest, Zhuge Kongping originally wanted to rest before continuing, but he looked around, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and his expression instantly became serious.

"It's more than just dirty."

Li Kunshan observed through "looking at the qi" that the whole forest was filled with a ghostly aura.

It seems that this is either the lair of a group of wandering ghosts, or there is a vicious ghost.

Hehehehe~!

While he was thinking, a hoarse and cold laugh, like fingernails scratching glass, suddenly came from the depths of the woods.

Then, the laughter came closer and closer, and more and more, and suddenly it was everywhere.

"Who are you? You're playing tricks here!"

Zhuge Kongping shouted and took out a bamboo tube.

Phew~!

The fuse was lit, and with a hissing sound, a ball of gunpowder shot straight into the sky, followed by an explosion with a bang.

"Ah~!"

As the fireworks instantly illuminated the entire forest, a fierce ghost appeared on a tree not far away, screamed, and subconsciously used his arms to block his sight.

"found it!"

Zhuge Kongping showed excitement and was about to step forward to subdue him.

Boom~!

But just as he took a step, with a loud bang, a dazzling flash of lightning fell from the sky and hit the evil spirit.

The evil ghost didn't even know what was happening before it turned to ashes on the spot.

[Kill the evil spirit and obtain the Sneaky (Blue) entry! ]

“…This, this!”

Zhuge Kongping had not yet put down his raised foot when he came to his senses and looked at Li Kunshan angrily.

"I was the one who found it, so I should be the one to take it away. How come you destroyed it?"

"It's just a little devil. Why should Mr. Zhuge do it himself? It's more important to hurry on."

Li Kunshan smiled and said this, then continued walking forward.

"That's right, but no! These are two different things!"

Zhuge Kongping was slightly pleased with himself, but then he reacted immediately, yelled, and hurried to catch up with Li Kunshan.

The world is in chaos, the world is not peaceful, and evil spirits are breeding everywhere.

This trip was a long one, and we passed through many wild mountains and wilderness, so it was normal to encounter ghosts.

If these wandering ghosts did not take the initiative to provoke, Li Kunshan and Zhuge Kongping would not bother to bother, but if one of them was blind, they would not mind delaying them for a few minutes.

"Wow, that bead you just used is really useful. Lend it to me later so I can study it."

Compared to evil spirits, evil people are actually more troublesome. No matter they are bandits or soldiers, they are still human beings after all. It is not easy for Li Kunshan and Zhuge Kongping to kill them directly.

So just use the blinding bead to become invisible and go through.

Zhuge Kongping was surprised to find that Li Kunshan had such a magical tool. He was also very curious about Li Kunshan himself. Although this guy was young, he had a lot of good things.

"Finally we're here."

Although we didn't get along very well, we chatted and joked along the way, so I didn't feel lonely.

At the end of November, the two came to a barren mountain, which was the venue for the ghost hunting conference.

Thanks to the use of the Shukuchi Talisman, we arrived a few days earlier than originally planned.

After being happy for a while, Zhuge Kongping took out a Bagua mirror and looked in front of him.

Buzz~!

There was a faint buzzing sound, but the mountains in front seemed to have not changed.

"so."

Li Kunshan could see the qi clearly. Just now, when Zhuge Kongping used the Bagua mirror, it was like the sun coming out from the clouds, and the surging fog in the mountain dissipated in an instant.

These are not ordinary fogs, but actually a trick to deceive the eyes.

Although it is similar to a membership system, since it is known as an industry event, how can there be no threshold? This deception is the threshold, and only those who can break it are eligible to participate in the ghost hunting conference.

"Let's go."

Zhuge Kongping greeted Li Kunshan and walked into the mountains with his head held high.

Li Kunshan nodded slightly and followed immediately.

As the illusion was broken, signposts appeared in the mountains. Following the signs, we arrived at an open space in the mountains about an hour later.

This is the venue of this ghost hunting convention!

"Wow, so many people have arrived."

The field was irregular but spacious, about the size of seven or eight football fields. Looking around, people were scattered everywhere.

It has to be said that the scale of this ghost-hunting convention exceeded Li Kunshan's expectations.

There are only a few disciples in the entire Zhengyi sect, but the number of Taoist priests, monks, and other so-called ghost hunters and exorcists gathered here is far greater than that. Moreover, there are still a few days before the conference starts, and many more people will arrive later.

"Wow, Master Tianlong is here too. Come on, let me introduce him to you."

Zhuge Kongping looked around excitedly and suddenly saw someone in the crowd. He said something to Li Kunshan and took him over.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing fur and dressed in a somewhat foreign style, and next to him was a young man in a Taoist robe.

"Master Tianlong."

As he walked over, Zhuge Kongping shouted and waved.

After seeing this, the other party also took the initiative to come forward.

"Let me introduce you."

When he arrived, Zhuge Kongping introduced him very solemnly.

"This is Master Ao Tianlong, the senior brother of the Fantasy Sect."

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhuge Kongping from the Zhuge family."

On the other side, Master Tianlong also introduced the young man next to him.

"Meet Master Tianlong."

"Meet Mr. Zhuge."

Li Kunshan and the young man opposite greeted each other and then looked at each other.

Li Kunshan smiled and bowed again.

"I've met my junior uncle."

"Uncle Master?"

Ao Tianlong and Zhuge Kongping were both stunned and looked at each other.

"Which sect is this person you brought from?"

"I'm from Maoshan Shangqing, what about you?"

"that's true."

The two blinked their eyes, what a coincidence.

"It's quite a coincidence."

Li Kunshan rubbed his chin with his index finger and looked at Zheng Zibu with interest.

"I didn't expect that you would come down the mountain."

"Master said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, so he asked me to go down the mountain to gain some experience."

"Yes, Master is right."

Li Kunshan nodded seriously, looked at the people in front of him, and smiled again.

Unexpectedly, even Ao Tianlong and Zheng Zibu came. Although this so-called ghost-hunting conference was held by the public, in fact, in Li Kunshan's mind, except for Zhengyi and Quanzhen, the rest belonged to the public.

But I have to say that the gold content is indeed not low.

Not to mention Junior Uncle Zheng Zibu and the already familiar Zhuge Kongping, Ao Tianlong, who looks quite like Uncle Jiu, is a master of Taoism and is probably not inferior to Uncle Jiu.

At this time, Li Kunshan also understood. No wonder Zhuge Kongping only got thirteenth place in the last session. There are indeed many masters here.

Actually, the Fantasy Sect is a branch of Maoshan, so Ao Tianlong, Li Kunshan and Zheng Zibu are also considered to be from the same sect.

"I'll go over there."

After chatting for a while, everyone separated temporarily.

There were still a few days before the conference started. After those who arrived early greeted each other, they found a place to sit down. Some sat quietly to rest, while others placed some things in front of them.

The so-called ghost-hunting conference is both a competition and an exchange.

Communication does not necessarily have to be about Taoism, there are other things that are more direct.

To put it bluntly, this is also a market within the circle where everyone can share what they have.

Li Kunshan was interested and looked at each stall.

"nice one."

"good."

“This thing is actually being sold.”

After a round of tour, Li Kunshan found a lot of good things.

In addition to various nourishing medicines, there are also precious refining materials and even martial arts spells!

If placed outside, they are extremely precious and rare.

But unfortunately, I am short of money.

Li Kunshan was not actually poor, but he spent all his earnings on tonics, leaving only a little for his daily life, so he could not afford these things at all.

I don’t have money, but I’m really envious of it.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but wonder if it was possible to barter, such as exchanging drawn talismans?
It’s not impossible, but there are actually not many people here who need Zhengyi Talismans. After all, anyone who can come here basically has some means.

"Have it!"

After pondering for a moment, Li Kunshan suddenly had an idea.

He found a secluded place and summoned out Blood God No. 1.

Dress up and disguise Number One, and later just put on a mask.

Then, according to Li Kunshan's instructions, No. 1 found an open space to sit down and put up a sign.

'Refine magical instruments, recast and upgrade magical instruments, and refurbish magical instruments at affordable prices, no deception!'

"Item Refiner?"

Seeing this sign, people quickly gathered around.

"Can this be used to refine weapons?"

Immediately afterwards, someone took out something and asked.

"It works."

Li Kunshan stood by and watched, his face showing joy, there was something going on!
