Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 183: Eat Both

"What's going on today? You two are treating me to a meal together?"

There was a restaurant in the south of Hehuan Town. A large number of soldiers were guarding the door, and there were only three people sitting at a table in the middle.

Li Kunshan looked at Long Daguang and Gu Xuanwu and couldn't help but smile.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"Nothing, it's just that I missed you. You didn't come to my son's full moon party, so I just wanted to make it up to you."

"Yes, yes, you helped me catch ghosts last time, and I haven't thanked you properly yet. Let's deepen our relationship."

"Haha, you two have nothing to do. I'm quite busy, so I won't play with you guys anymore."

Li Kunshan gave a fake smile and stood up to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

The two men were anxious and quickly grabbed Li Kunshan from the left and right.

"It's business!"

"Please catch the ghost!"

"Why didn't you just say it earlier? I wouldn't take it as a big deal."

Li Kunshan raised his eyebrows and sat down again.

"Tell me, which of you two encountered a ghost again?"

"not us."

"Who is that?"

"It's our commander."

"Captain?"

Li Kunshan was stunned again and looked at the two of them with interest.

"You two, a marshal and a commander, why are you running errands for a corps commander?"

"You don't understand. Whether it's Marshal or Commander, it's just a title."

"But he's a military commander, that's just a position, he actually has an army under him!"

"That makes sense."

Li Kunshan nodded, picked up his chopsticks to eat, and asked casually.

"What the hell happened to your commander?"

"As for the ghost he encountered..."

The two looked at each other and hesitated.

“That’s quite impressive.”

"How is it so powerful? Tell me about it."

"It's not that great actually, it's just that his identity is a bit special."

"What's the special method? Tell me."

"This ghost was the Queen Mother when she was alive."

"too……"

Li Kunshan just picked up a piece of bamboo shoot with his chopsticks when he stopped, then came to his senses and looked at the two of them with a frown.

"Isn't your commander's surname Sun?"

"I thought it was right to choose Kunshan, he's really good at predicting things!"

"Hehe, the one who robbed Dongling a while ago?"

"Awesome! Everything is correct!"

"I'm awesome, you big-headed ghost!"

Li Kunshan slammed his chopsticks on the table and glared at the two of them unhappily.

No matter what era, digging graves is always despised, so tomb robbing is not even considered the lowest class of people, it can only be regarded as a side job.

What's more, the General Sun robbed the Eastern Tomb. What is the Eastern Tomb? It is the place where the emperor and empress of the Qing Dynasty were buried!

"You should seek help from someone else."

Li Kunshan is not a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, so there is no need for him to be loyal to those buried in the Eastern Tombs. The key issue now is that this matter has been reported in the newspapers, causing a sensation across the country and being cursed by people from all walks of life.

Commander Sun's reputation has been ruined. Who would help him at this time, and it involves the Dongling incident? Isn't that jumping into a cesspool?

No wonder Long Daguang didn't go to find Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe, but came to him instead. Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe would never get involved in this mess.

The Blood Demon is about to be born, and there are so many evil spirits doing evil that Li Kunshan is already too busy to care about the life and death of a Dongling thief.

"As long as you can do it, Commander Sun will agree to any price!"

"You know, Commander Sun is super rich now! Last time you extorted ten thousand dollars from me, this time you extorted hundreds of thousands of dollars from him, and he didn't even blink!"

The two men grabbed Li Kunshan again and immediately used their trump card.

"This……"

Hearing the word "money", Li Kunshan couldn't help but stop again.

Although the cesspool is disgusting, it is not impossible to jump into it if you have the money.

After a brief pause, he sat down again.

"That ghost empress dowager you're talking about, isn't it Cixi?"

"Wow! Amazing! And you said you couldn't tell fortunes."

"Is this even worth calculating?"

Li Kunshan snorted coldly, his face showing disdain.

The entire Eastern Tombs actually house the burials of many emperors and empresses, but due to time constraints, Commander Sun hurriedly excavated only two, namely Qianlong and Cixi.

I have to say, he is worthy of being the army commander, he only eats the fattest meat.

The two of them just said that this ghost was a queen mother in her lifetime, so it must be this old Buddha.

"Could it be..."

Speaking of this, Li Kunshan couldn't help but think that this was very similar to a unit plot in Mr. Vampire II.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan asked Long Daguang and others in detail, and after confirming some circumstances, he was basically certain.

"Okay, I'll go help this General Sun!"

After a brief pause, Li Kunshan nodded.

"Great."

Seeing that Li Kunshan finally agreed, Long Daguang and Gu Xuanwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After the conversation and meal, Li Kunshan got up and left, and the two of them walked him to the door, one on each side.

"Hurry up, Commander Sun can't hold on for much longer!"

Li Kunshan had already walked more than ten meters away, and Gu Xuanwu couldn't help but shout at his back again.

After robbing the tomb, the Ghost Queen came to visit him. To save his life, Commander Sun can only live in the military camp. The military camp has strong yang energy, and even the ghosts from the Eastern Tomb dare not enter.

But Commander Sun couldn't live in the barracks forever. Besides, many people wanted him dead and were trying every means to get him out of the barracks.

It can be said that Commander Sun’s life is hanging by a thread and he is urgently waiting for someone to save him.

Li Kunshan smiled. People like him should suffer more.

In addition, if Commander Sun was not forced into a desperate situation, how could Li Kunshan take the opportunity to blackmail him?

After returning home, Li Kunshan was not in a hurry.

Prepare to clear out the evil spirits around Hehuan Town first, and then head north.

After all, before you worry about other people's problems, you should clear the snow in front of your own door.

"Master Li~Master Li~!"

In the evening, just as Li Kunshan was about to go out, a man walked into the yard with a delicate but somewhat disgusting cry.

"...Manager Wu."

Coming out of the house and seeing the person coming, Li Kunshan was startled, then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh my! It's so nice to have you at home. It's worth all the effort I put into running thousands of miles over several days and nights. Look, your butt is all red."

Manager Wu looked pitiful, as if he was about to show off his buttocks.

"Ahem, let's go inside and talk."

Li Kunshan quickly interrupted Manager Wu and invited him into the house.

After we sat down, Xiaoli served tea.

Manager Wu glanced at Xiaoli, snorted with a cold face, then turned to Li Kunshan with a smile.

"Master Li, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you didn't even think to send a message. The young prince and I miss you so much." "Forget about reminiscing about the past, let's get down to business."

"Hate."

Manager Wu waved his hand to avoid a scolding look, then spoke.

"Actually, I'm here to invite you on the orders of the prince."

"Please tell me what you want me to do."

"This is a long story, and it all starts with that nagging General Sun a while ago..."

really.

Li Kunshan drank tea and listened to Manager Wu's chatter with a smile on his lips. He guessed correctly that Manager Wu, or Prince Chun, also came because of General Sun's theft of the Eastern Tomb.

But as a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Chun did not want to save Commander Sun. On the contrary, he wanted to help the Ghost Empress Dowager!

"I heard that Commander Sun is now looking for people to eliminate the old Buddha. How can this be possible! Although the old Buddha has long passed away, he is still our old Buddha after all."

Manager Wu looked very loyal, bowed to the sky, and continued speaking.

"So the prince asked me to invite you to fight with General Sun's men. Make sure to keep the old Buddha safe!"

"Your Highness, why don't you just hire assassins to kill all the monks and Taoist priests that Commander Sun hired? Wouldn't that be much simpler? Why bother with me to fight with me?"

"Alas, you know, the prince is not what he used to be. His power among the living is probably not as great as that of General Sun. The assassin we're looking for might have been wiped out by General Sun's army before he even arrived. But someone with great magical powers like you is different. General Sun can't do anything to you. And..."

Manager Wu hesitated slightly and continued.

"We actually understand that the old Buddha has passed away and should no longer remain in the world of the living. That's why we would like to ask you to pray for the old Buddha so that she can be reincarnated peacefully."

Speaking of the latter part, Manager Wu became emotional and wiped away his tears.

Li Kunshan, however, curled his lips. With so many ghosts lingering in the world of the living, it would be troublesome for him to help them all to be reincarnated. It would be much easier than just blowing them all to ashes with a bolt of lightning.

"Come with me quickly! That bastard is so quick to act! I'm afraid Mr. Buddha can't hold on."

After saying this, Manager Wu was about to pull Li Kunshan away.

"Don't do it!"

Li Kunshan quickly hid back, thought for a while and said.

"Well, you go first, I'll clean up."

"What are you still packing? It's urgent!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely be at the prince's house within two days."

"Two days!"

Minister Wu widened his eyes and looked at Li Kunshan with suspicion.

Even if he rode a fast horse, he probably wouldn't be able to leave Fujian in two days.

"You are not fooling me."

"Don't worry, I have magic skills and can travel quickly. Besides, since Your Majesty has shown me such a high regard, how could I not appreciate it?"

"I always feel like you're up to something bad. Forget it, I'll trust you for now. But hurry up."

Although his intuition told him something was wrong, on the other hand, Manager Wu fully trusted Li Kunshan.

In the end, he didn't care about it anymore. He gave one more instruction and immediately got up and left. He had to go back and report.

But then again, Li Kunshan arrived more than ten days earlier than him, so why was he in such a hurry?
"Now it's interesting."

Watching Manager Wu leave, Li Kunshan suddenly smiled.

If you ask him to do something for both ends, then he can have the best of both worlds, right?
However, if you are not careful, you will end up losing both ends, so you still need to think carefully about how to do it.

At night, Li Kunshan left Hehuan Town.

He did not go to the capital immediately, but instead split into three directions with Blood God Son No. 1 and No. 2 and ran towards the surrounding mountains and forests.

Boom~Boom~!

A moment later, thunder rumbled continuously within a hundred miles of Hehuan Town.

"Wow! What's wrong with that kid? He's working so hard."

Looking at the lightning flashing in the sky around the town, Zhuge Kongping curled his lips, then smiled.

"That's good, it saves me a lot of energy. Now I should be able to rest for a few days."

More than ten hours later, the sky in the east began to turn pale.

[Kill the evil ghost and obtain the entry Ghost Eye (Blue)! ]

"almost."

Li Kunshan glanced at the entry and then looked at the almost empty forest, then dusted himself off.

After a busy night, most of the evil spirits around Hehuan Town were cleared out. With Zhuge Kongping in charge, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term, so he can head north with peace of mind.

"Fusion."

Of course, there was another reason why he was so anxious to clean up these evil spirits, which was that he couldn't bear to part with these entries.

During this period, evil spirits were everywhere, and it was busy, but many entries were also released. Although they were all low-quality blue and white, they were large in number.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Get new entries: Hysterical (Blue), Concentrated (Blue), Like a Dead Tree (Blue), Erratic (Blue)! ]

There are a total of eighteen white entries, which combine to form four blue entries.

Combining four into one, the loss of two is still within an acceptable range.

"continue!"

Li Kunshan didn't think much about it and continued to merge the blue entries.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Get new entries: Yin-Yang Eyes (Purple), Invulnerability (Purple), and Dragon's Five Sons (Purple)! ]

"not bad."

Thirteen blue entries, combined to form three purple entries, with one loss.

Li Kunshan nodded, quite satisfied.

"again."

The first two entries were easy to understand, but when he saw the third purple entry, Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile.

I remember that before, we had combined a purple entry of [Nine Sons of the Dragon], and now we have created a fifth son.

The fifth son of the dragon (purple): The dragon is the most lustful, engaging in all kinds of intercourse. It mates with a lion and gives birth to Suanni, the fifth son. It resembles a lion, enjoys smoke and sitting, and can inhale smoke and exhale vapor.

Sure enough, the introduction was similar, except that, in addition to the dragon's bloodline, the ability changed from 'avoiding fire' to 'swallowing and exhaling fog'.

Li Kunshan just took a look and didn't think any more about it.

He is no longer the same person he was back then. It's just a purple entry and it doesn't arouse much interest in him.

Including these three, there are only eight purple entries in total, some of which have good compatibility, such as [Invulnerable to All Harms] and [Invulnerable to Swords and Guns].

Both are defensive. [Invulnerable] focuses mainly on spell defense, while [Invulnerable to Swords and Guns] is purely physical defense.

However, there are only two of them, so it is impossible to fuse them into an orange entry.

Li Kunshan was not in a hurry and decided to stop there.

"I'll have to trouble you from now on, fellow Daoist."

"It's your job."

At the edge of the town, Li Kunshan bowed and said goodbye to No. 2.

Li Kunshan went north, while No. 2 returned to Hehuan Town.

Although the surrounding area had been cleared and Zhuge Kongping was still in the town, Li Kunshan still left behind a Blood God Son for safety reasons.

In addition, Li Kunshan temporarily withdrew the entry No. 2.

This time when we go north, there are a lot of evil ghost zombies, and there will definitely be many entries that can be used for fusion.

It is less than 4,000 miles from Hehuan Town to the capital. Li Kunshan used a talisman to shorten the distance and arrived in one day.

He set out early in the morning and arrived at the outskirts of the capital just as it was getting dark.

"here we go again."

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Li Kunshan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Over the years, his cultivation and status have been constantly improving, but this is only his second time coming to this precious land of the capital.

"there."

Li Kunshan sighed slightly, looked at the direction, and ran straight to the west.

He did not go into the city directly. Before meeting Prince Chun, he planned to meet General Sun first.
