Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 173 Heading to Gezao Mountain

"It's done."

In the inn, Li Kunshan smiled when he received the news from No. 5.

[Gluttonous Stomach], [Blood God Son], and the method of taking it, Li Kunshan only needs to make more money, buy tonics, and create Blood God Son to continuously improve his cultivation speed.

It has to be said that no matter what world it is, making money always comes first.

Number Five searched the entire mansion but couldn't find Cruise's secret stash. Li Kunshan, unwilling to give up, had a new idea: to take over all of Cruise's assets!

Cruise lived a luxurious life in the British Concession. Besides the offerings from his vampires, he undoubtedly had considerable assets. In fact, Cruise's so-called plan to build a vampire world also relied on financial support.

Cruise himself has no time to manage these assets, so it must be his subordinates who are doing it. In order to ensure their loyalty, Cruise must have converted these people, at least the main ones, into vampires.

Cruise is dead. If you want to take over Cruise's assets, you just need to control these vampires.

Doing business is different from practicing. These people are likely to be shrewd businessmen, elites from all walks of life, or even some local officials, warlords, and police officers, rather than practitioners in the spiritual world.

This time, the vampires are being cleared out, so they shouldn't be affected too much.

Following Li Kunshan's instructions, No. 5 investigated everywhere, centered on the British Concession, and finally found some of them.

With the [Blood Prince] entry and powerful strength, he easily brought these people under his command.

Among these people, only a few are running two stores for Cruise. It is far from Cruise's complete assets, but it is a good start.

After all, if you pull out a radish, you will bring out the mud. Through these people, everything can be dug out bit by bit.

"Great."

It won’t be long before Li Kunshan won’t have to worry about money anymore. As the Blood God Son is produced in large quantities, his cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds!
Dong Dong~!

Just when I was happy, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother, it's time for us to set off."

"it is good."

Li Kunshan stood up, packed up his things and went out.

He and Nianying left the inn and set off for Gezhao Mountain early in the morning.

Master Ge had previously promised that as long as Li Kunshan achieved sufficient merit in the fight against vampires, he would be rewarded with the Ge Zaoshan Thunder Method.

Finding Cruise, passing on information undercover, rescuing the hostage at the critical moment, and finally killing Cruise, no matter which one, is a great achievement.

Master Ge also kept his promise. Just two days after Li Kunshan returned to Hehuan Town, he received a message asking him to go to Gezhao Mountain to learn thunder magic!
Thunder magic is no different from other methods. It is certainly not enough to just fly there with your soul, you need to go there in your real body.

Upon hearing that Li Kunshan was going to Gezhao Mountain, Zhe Gu brought Nian Ying and asked him to take Nian Ying with him.

Nianying was born with the destiny of a boy. After Zhe Gu cast a spell, the Five Evils returned to their positions and became the five golden armored guardians. However, in order to flexibly use these five guardians, some special methods are needed.

In comparison, Gezhao Mountain has deeper research in this area than Maoshan. Zhegu has already made an agreement with a mage from Gezhao Mountain to let her teach Nianying on her behalf.

How could Li Kunshan dare to refuse since Zhe Gu had spoken? Besides, there was one more person traveling with him and they could talk and relieve their boredom on the way.

"If you're not allowed to use the Shuchuchi Talisman, why bother?"

Looking at Nianying next to him, Li Kunshan curled his lips.

Before leaving, Zhe Gu specifically reminded Nian Ying that she was observing the precepts recently, so she could not use the shrinking talisman within a year.

What kind of precepts can be related to the Earth-Shrinking Talisman?

Li Kunshan thought that Zhe Gu must be talking nonsense to him, but since Zhe Gu said so, he couldn't disobey her.

There was no other choice but to ride bicycles to get on the road.

Fortunately, Gezhao Mountain is also located in Jiangxi, adjacent to Fujian, and the distance is not very far.

"Brother, if we go through this forest, we should be there."

Nianying said this and pedaled the bicycle hard.

"it is good."

Li Kunshan responded, smiled and shook her head. She was really a simple little girl.

At noon, the two arrived at a town called Dalin Township.

Before going to Gezao Mountain, Zhe Gu asked the two of them to stop by and visit one of her sisters.

We obviously took a long detour and walked an extra seven or eight hundred miles, and this is called taking the same route?
In fact, Li Kunshan had already guessed that Zhe Gu's actions were just to let him spend more time with Nian Ying.

Nianying is beautiful and cute, has a simple and kind heart, and is also a fellow student. She is indeed a good choice for Li Kunshan.

But what can he do? He already has Ren Tingting, so he has to take responsibility if he sleeps with her.

Unless, Nianying becomes his mistress.

However, even if Nian Ying and Ren Tingting agreed, it is estimated that Zhe Gu would not agree to let her beloved disciple suffer this injustice.

"Brother, that's the one."

Li Kunshan was daydreaming when Nian Ying suddenly said something and pointed to a house in front.

"it is good."

Li Kunshan nodded and scratched his chin a little embarrassedly.

What are you thinking about?

Nianying had never said she liked him, but he was already thinking about her becoming his mistress. In my past life, I saw a meme online where a man would think a woman was interested in him unless she explicitly said "get out." It seemed pretty accurate.

"This is……"

After taking a few quick steps, they arrived at the gate. They looked up and frowned instantly.

There was a white cloth hanging on the door frame.

The door was not closed. The two looked at each other and walked in.

The yard is not big. After walking through it, you will go straight to the main hall, where you will see a mourning hall.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Someone had indeed died. Could it be Zhegu's sister? Nianying was a little nervous and shouted into the house.

"Who?"

Someone answered, and then a middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor came out from the inner room. She was startled when she saw the two of them.

"Who are you and who are you looking for?"

"You must be Mother Hu, right? I am Zhe Gu's apprentice. My name is Nian Ying, and my master asked me to come and see you."

"So he's Zhe Gu's apprentice."

Mother Hu nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"As you can see, I can't entertain you here."

"Mother Hu, who is dead?"

"It's my daughter, Xiuxiu, wuwu, my poor daughter."

At this point, Mother Hu couldn't help but hugged Nian Yingjiu and burst into tears.

It was not until a while later that the situation calmed down a little, and Li Kunshan and Nian Ying found a place to sit down.

When Mother Hu was young, she was a famous beauty in the surrounding villages. Unfortunately, she was short-lived and her husband died early, leaving her with only a daughter to depend on.

I raised my daughter with great difficulty, but I didn't expect that she would be crushed to death just yesterday.

"Smashed to death?"

Nianying's eyes widened, her face full of surprise.

"How could he be crushed to death for no reason?"

"It's all because of that bastard Changshouzai!"

Mother Hu gritted her teeth and told the story again with a look of resentment on her face.

There was a wealthy businessman named Ge in the town. His son, Ge Changshou, had always been in love with Hu Xiuxiu but could not get her. Last night, he even went to the roof to peek at Hu Xiuxiu while she was taking a bath.

Unexpectedly, the roof collapsed and something fell from above, hitting Hu Xiuxiu.

"My poor daughter was killed by him!"

"There is such a thing!"

Nian Ying's face was full of indignation, and she asked hurriedly.

"Mother Hu, have you reported it to the police?"

"I reported it, but what's the use?"

Mother Hu sobbed again, her face full of helplessness.

Early this morning, she ran to the security team to report the incident, but the Ge family bribed the security team leader with money and said that the Hu family's house had been in disrepair for a long time and Hu Xiuxiu was killed by her own house, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Just imagine, what can Mother Hu, a widow, do?

"I'm furious!"

The more Nianying listened, the angrier she became. She wished she could catch the Hu father and son and the security captain and beat them up.

Li Kunshan stood up, walked around the mourning hall, and finally looked at Hu Xiuxiu's tablet. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother! How can you still laugh at this time!"

Nian Ying happened to see it and couldn't help but look angry.

"I'm laughing because Hu Xiuxiu wasn't destined to die."

"Isn't it time to die?" Nian Ying and Mother Hu were both stunned. They looked at each other and then quickly looked at Li Kunshan.

"What's the meaning!"

"Take me to see your daughter's beautiful body."

"inside."

Mother Hu nodded vigorously and quickly led the two of them into the inner room.

I saw a young woman lying on the bed. Although her face was pale, there was a hint of liveliness between her brows, as if she was asleep.

"really."

Seeing Hu Xiuxiu's body, Li Kunshan nodded again, confirming his guess.

Yes, it’s the plot of the movie Shameless.

In the plot, Hu Xiuxiu was not actually dead, but Ge Changshou sucked away a trace of her essence, so her soul temporarily left her body.

This was also confirmed by observing Hu Xiuxiu's body through qigong.

This is easy. Just call back Hu Xiuxiu's soul and take back the essence that Ge Changshou sucked away, and Hu Xiuxiu will naturally be able to come back to life.

"It's actually like this!"

"Great! Great! My daughter is alive!"

After listening to what Li Kunshan said, Nianying and Hu's mother were both very excited. Hu's mother even cried with joy while hugging Hu Xiuxiu.

Then he turned to Li Kunshan again and knelt down.

"Master! Please save my daughter."

"Don't worry, Mother Hu. Senior Brother will definitely save Xiuxiu."

Nianying helped Mother Hu up, her face full of pride again.

"My senior brother is a promoted Maoshan mage. Summoning spirits is a piece of cake for him."

"Oh yes."

Mother Hu didn't know what promotion meant, but it sounded very impressive, so she nodded.

But she was still uneasy in her heart. After all, this concerned her daughter's life, so she spoke quickly.

"Then Master, please do your duty quickly."

"It's still daytime. Although Hu Xiuxiu isn't a ghost, her soul is very fragile and afraid of sunlight. She wouldn't dare come out during the day."

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot about that."

"Wait till night, I will perform a ritual to bring back Hu Xiuxiu's soul."

"Okay, then let's wait until night."

Mother Hu nodded again and paced back and forth anxiously.

"but."

At this time, Li Kunshan spoke again and said with a smile.

"We can take advantage of the daytime to recover that vital energy."

"Yes! Find the essence first."

"Well, Nianying, you take care of Mother Hu, and I'll go to the Ge family."

After Li Kunshan finished speaking, he walked out.

Nian Ying nodded and watched Li Kunshan leave.

The town is not big. The Ge family is a wealthy family in the town. They have a small Western-style building standing among a group of dilapidated houses and it is easy to find.

Ge Changshou was born with a short life, and twenty-three was a hurdle.

According to the plot of the movie, Ge Changshou is exactly 23 years old this year, and he saved his life because he absorbed the essence of Hu Xiuxiu.

In this case, it is basically impossible to ask him to voluntarily return this essence.

In this case, Li Kunshan could only force him.

But Ge Changshou is a human being after all, not a ghost, so Li Kunshan doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

After thinking about it, he turned invisible with the blinding bead.

"where."

After entering the Ge family, he began to search each room.

According to Li Kunshan's plan, he would knock the man unconscious and take him away after finding him.

The Ge family's house was very big and there were many rooms. Li Kunshan searched for half an hour.

"No?"

But after searching the entire Ge family, there was no trace of Ge Changshou.

Is it such a coincidence that Ge Changshou is not at home?

He shouldn't be in the mood to go out and play today, as he just committed a murder last night. Even if he is as arrogant as he is, he shouldn't be in the mood to go out and play today.

"who are you!"

Just as Li Kunshan was thinking, there was a sudden shout.

A thin man, who looked like a servant of the Ge family from his attire, stepped forward to stop Li Kunshan.

"What are you doing sneaking around like that? Who are you looking for?"

"No, can you see me?"

Li Kunshan looked at the man in front of him with some surprise.

This man looks unremarkable, but he can actually see through the blinding bead.

"What do you mean?"

The man was startled, and seemed to react suddenly, and quickly pulled over a maid next to him.

"Hey! Can you see this person?!"

"What the hell, there's no one there. Don't delay my work."

The maid snorted coldly, shook the man off, and continued with her work.

"You're a ghost! You dare to come out in broad daylight? You're really arrogant! Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

The man turned to Li Kunshan again, sneered, and then took out a soul-calming talisman from his arms.

"Ok?"

Li Kunshan was stunned again. Could it be that this person was also a cultivator?

But he mistook Li Kunshan for a ghost, which showed his poor eyesight.

While he was thinking, the other party rushed up and put the talisman on Li Kunshan's forehead.

"Haha~ You can't run away now."

The man succeeded easily and laughed twice with a smug look on his face.

"What rubbish."

Li Kunshan casually tore off the talisman and couldn't help but curl his lips. The soul-calming talisman drawn by Nian Ying was better than this.

Tear it into pieces and throw it aside.

"You, you, you...what a powerful ghost!"

"Li, look carefully, I am a human."

Li Kunshan removed the blinding bead and then reached out to grab the man's shoulder.

"Ouch~!"

Just as the man was about to run away, Li Kunshan pinched him hard and he collapsed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan carried the man out.

The servants of the Ge family saw it on the road, but didn't care.

As the wealthy businessmen in the town, the Ge family has many people coming and going every day. How could they possibly know them all?

Li Kunshan came out from inside, and he was with the young master's followers, how could he be a thief.

Just like that, Li Kunshan left the Ge family in a swagger.

"Tell me, where is your young master Ge Changshou hiding?"

After taking the man to a secluded place, Li Kunshan asked directly.

"Where did you come from, you monster? How dare you touch me? Do you know who I am?"

There was no answer. The man said with an arrogant look on his face and a cold snort.

"I am a disciple of Ge Zao Mountain. If you dare to touch me, I will be tired of living!"

"Ge Zaoshan?"

Li Kunshan was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at the man again.
