Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 201 The Whereabouts of the Relics

On the third day after returning to Hehuan Town, Uncle Jiu brought news.

The Zhengyi Dharma decrees that one should search for the four relics transformed from the centenarian Taoist priest, as well as the magical weapon Seven-Star Crescent Blade!

"Where can I find it?"

"How would I know."

Uncle Jiu spread his hands, looking as if it was a matter of course.

"If we knew where it was, why would we mobilize everyone to look for it?"

"That makes sense! But there must be some clues, right?"

"No."

Before leaving, Uncle Jiu patted Li Kunshan on the shoulder.

"Either you rely on your ability, or if you don't have enough ability, then you can only rely on luck. If you are lucky enough to find a relic, the leader will definitely reward you generously."

"Heavy rewards..."

Li Kunshan, who had originally had no motivation, his eyes lit up when he heard these words.

As the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, Zhang Jingqing not only has a very wealthy family, but is also extremely generous.

The initial ordination was merely an encouragement award during the audition, a precious Nine Dragons magical instrument. Later, Li Kunshan helped beat Zhang Zhiwei, and he passed on the Dragon Tiger Mountain Yang Five Thunders to him.

This time, if we can find the treasure to deal with the blood demon, it will be a great contribution to saving the world. What kind of reward will Zhang Jingqing give?
Although I don’t know what it is yet, it’s exciting just thinking about it!

"Where can I find it?"

It’s good, but even as a time traveler, Li Kunshan has no clues at all now.

This is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"or……"

After frowning for a while, Li Kunshan took out the relic that his predecessor No. 4 had transformed into.

Since they are all relics, can they be replaced?
"never mind."

But then Li Kunshan gave up the idea.

He is the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, how can he be fooled so easily?

Moreover, this is used to deal with the blood demon, which concerns the safety of the human world and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

"Give it a try."

Uncle Jiu said, you either rely on your ability, or if you don’t have the ability you can only rely on luck.

Things like luck are uncertain, but as for ability, Li Kunshan immediately made a divination.

As expected, his skills were not yet fully developed, and he had no idea about the whereabouts of the relic and the Seven-Star Crescent Blade.

He had only reached the third level of Plum Blossom Divination. Even if he started practicing hard now, it would probably be too late.

However, he is not the only one who can tell fortunes in Renjia Town.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan came to Zhuge's house and asked Wang Hui for help.

Wang Hui is a top disciple of the Ma Yi School. No one can match his skill in divination, at least among the people Li Kunshan knows.

"The secrets of heaven are obscure and nowhere to be found."

After using three different methods to divine three times, Wang Hui got the same result every time. She could only shake her head helplessly.

"Thank you."

Even Wang Hui couldn't figure it out, so it seemed that divination was not feasible.

After returning home, Li Kunshan thought about trying other methods.

For example, by searching for literature and materials, and learning as much as possible about the life of the centenarian Taoist priest, one can infer the whereabouts of the four relics.

But alas, it didn't work in the end.

The Hundred-Year-Old Taoist was, after all, just a Taoist priest. There were at most some folk legends about him, but no written records. Furthermore, over a hundred years had passed, and as the saying goes, things had changed, and people had changed. The relic had likely changed hands several times, so where could it be found?

As for the Seven-Star Crescent Blade, Li Kunshan had long ago asked Uncle Jiu, and even asked Uncle Jiu to ask Master Xuanyi, whether he knew about the Cave Beyond the Heavenly Cave, but the answer he got was that they had never heard of it.

It seems that this place may not exist in this world. If so, where is the Seven-Star Crescent Blade?

At this time, Li Kunshan even doubted the existence of this magical weapon. After all, in the TV series, this sword was given by the gods to the mortal world to slay demons and eliminate monsters.

There are gods in this world, but many of them obey Zhengyi. They don't have any magic swords to slay demons and monsters.

In short, after more than ten days of hard work, there is still no progress.

"It seems I don't have this ability."

Having tried all possible methods, nothing worked at all, Li Kunshan sighed helplessly.

As for relying on luck, how to rely on luck? A meteorite suddenly falls in the yard. When you open it, is it a relic?

Flutter~!

Just as Li Kunshan was making fun of himself, a white falcon suddenly landed on the clothesline in the yard.

"This is……"

Li Kunshan blinked his eyes. What a handsome Saker Falcon.

Even white Saker Falcon has brown spots on its back and wings, but this one does not. It is pure white all over, like a cloud or a ball of snow.

As far as Li Kunshan knew, Saker Falcons only lived in high altitude areas, and how could such a pure white alien species end up in his yard for no reason?

"letter."

Looking more closely, I saw a small bamboo tube tied to the Saker Falcon's leg.

Li Kunshan smiled, it was indeed not a coincidence.

Then he walked forward. The Saker Falcon was not afraid of people and allowed Li Kunshan to take the bamboo tube off its leg.

Flutter~!

Then it flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It seems that the other party does not need to reply.

Li Kunshan smiled again, then took out the letter from the bamboo tube, wondering who sent him the letter.

"This is……"

It was a message from Number Four. No wonder such a rare Saker Falcon could be used as a carrier pigeon.

Although there is telepathy between Xue Shen Zi and Li Kunshan, they can only transmit emotions and feelings, and cannot directly "communicate" specific information.

So, when No. 4 was unable to come back, he chose to write a letter.

"Great!"

After reading it, Li Kunshan opened his eyes wide and his face was full of excitement.

The content of the letter is not much, but it involves two clues about the relic or the Seven-Star Crescent Blade!
When the hand seal is cultivated to the sixth level, the "special ability" is awakened. As the son of God of the Divine Religion, No. 4's special ability is to predict dreams.

He has a strong ability to predict the future, but it can only be done through dreams. He cannot subjectively decide when to dream or what to dream about.

In short, you may not know when it will be used, but once it is used, it will be a true foresight.

Regardless of these, the key is these two important pieces of information.

One: Wangcai Town, Qinghuang Town, Guangdong.

The second one: The Northern Blue Wolf Howls at the Moon in the Northeast.

What kind of town is Qinghuang Town? I've never heard of it. And what does Wangcai refer to? Is it a dog?
Li Kunshan from the Northeast knows where the north of the Northeast is, and what does the howling moon of the blue wolf refer to?
Although Number Four's predictive ability is powerful, dreams are always confusing and vague, so the content of the prediction is like a puzzle.

But it makes sense, after all, the secret cannot be revealed easily.

Even Wang Hui, Ma Yi's disciple, was completely unable to figure out the clues about the relic and the Seven-Star Crescent Blade.

That being said, Number Four's precognitive dreams are already quite strong.

"also!"

Although the details are not clear, at least there is a clue.

Li Kunshan pondered for a moment and set off immediately.

This is what is called time waits for no one.

The two clues are not in the same place, so in order to save time, we decided to act separately.

Others are unable to split themselves into two, but Li Kunshan now has fifteen Blood God Sons. He is so skilled!

Number One, Number Two, Number Four, and Number Five each had their own missions. Li Kunshan took Number Three with him, leaving behind the ten Blood God Sons from B1 to B10.

"Guangdong!"

There are two pieces of information, and we only know that they correspond to the relic or the Seven-Star Crescent Blade, but we have no idea whether it is the relic or the Seven-Star Crescent Blade, or whether it is one relic or four.

Li Kunshan thought about it and took No. 3 to investigate the first clue.

At least there is a clear position and goal, and the success rate is relatively higher.

As for B1 and the others, they are heading to the northeast!

Fujian is adjacent to Guangdong. Li Kunshan put on a talisman to shorten the distance, set off from Hehuan Town in the afternoon, and arrived in Guangdong before dark.

But where is Qinghuang Town?

Although Li Kunshan is a time traveler, he is not omniscient.

Fortunately, as long as the town really existed, it would definitely be found. Taking advantage of the night, Li Kunshan sneaked directly into the provincial government office and looked through the provincial geographical archives.

"found it!"

After searching for more than an hour, Li Kunshan finally found the place name "Qingtian Town".

To be precise, this is a former name.

But as long as there is this place, it’s fine!

After determining the location, Li Kunshan rushed there immediately.

The town was small to begin with, and due to the war and the chaos, there were only a few residents left, almost nine out of ten houses were empty. This is why Qingtian Town became its former name.

Qingtian Town is now almost becoming a deserted town.

"Where can I find it?"

Looking at the dilapidated town, Li Kunshan frowned slightly.

There are three words in Wangcai, Qingtian Town, Guangdong. The first two are clear, but the third one is a bit difficult to explain.

What is Wangcai?
It can’t really be a dog. If it was a dog, how could it be related to the relics or the Seven-Star Crescent Blade?

Could it be that a dog named Wangcai swallowed the relic?

This is a bit far-fetched.

"Wangcai~Wangcai~!"

In short, he had to find Wangcai first. As for what to do next, Li Kunshan could only use a stupid method and walk around the town while shouting.

Dogs all recognize their names. If there really is a dog named Wangcai here, it might run out by itself when it hears someone calling it.

But Li Kunshan shouted for a long time, and not only did the dog not run out on its own, there was probably not even a hair of dog left in the town.

It makes sense. People were starving to death, so how could there be enough food to feed dogs? Even if there were dogs, they would have been turned into dog meat and served on the table long ago.

Could it be that I was wrong? Wangcai is not a dog?

But if not a dog, then what is it.

"Wangcai~Wangcai~!"

There was no other good solution for the time being, so Li Kunshan could only continue shouting as he walked.

Maybe someone knows.

"What are you shouting about!"

In the northwest corner of the town, in a dilapidated courtyard, a young man in tattered clothes suddenly pushed open the door and yelled at Li Kunshan.

"So early in the morning! You're crying!"

"Sorry to disturb my rest, I need to look for Wangcai."

"Looking for Wangcai?"

The man rolled his eyes and asked cautiously.

"What are you looking for Wangcai for?"

"That's right, I owe him money!"

Li Kunshan reacted very quickly and made up a reason immediately.

"You owe him money?"

The young man looked Li Kunshan up and down and snorted coldly.

“There is no Wangcai here!”

After saying that, he turned around and went back, slamming the door shut.

Looking at the closed door, Li Kunshan pondered for a moment.

Judging from the man's reaction just now, he seemed to know "Wangcai".

The reason for his sudden departure might be that there was something wrong with Li Kunshan's previous reason.

As the saying goes, money makes the eyes open. Li Kunshan said that he owed money to "Wangcai". How could he refuse the money when someone gave it to him? How did it become a flaw?

"who cares."

Li Kunshan snorted coldly, and simply stopped thinking about it and looked at the yard in front of him.

If we keep an eye on this young man for a while, we might be able to find Wangcai.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan left directly, but actually left a paper man to monitor him.

A day passed in a flash.

It was not until dark that the tightly closed courtyard door opened again and the young man from the daytime came out.

Hiding during the day and coming out at night?

Li Kunshan, who was monitoring outside the town, couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this young man was not an honest person.

But come to think of it, Qingtian Town is almost becoming history. How could he be an honest person if he could survive in this town?

"So that's the kind of business they do."

The paper figure followed the young man for dozens of miles, and finally came to a newly built tomb. The young man began to dig hard.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile. It turned out that he was making money from the dead.

In today's world, the only thing you can do is make money, no matter if it's from the dead or the living.

Tomb robbing is something that everyone does, from peddlers to General Sun.

Li Kunshan was not surprised by this.

"Bah! I don't even have a penny. I'm a stingy person when I'm alive and I'll be a poor person when I die!"

Climbing out of the cemetery, the young man spat out some sand, cursed a few words and left.

However, the young man did not go home to sleep.

"It's all here."

This is a cemetery, so there are naturally quite a few graves. Although most of them are old graves, you can still find a bargain.

"This one won't do. It's too eye-catching. It must have been dug up many times. This one won't do either. It's obviously the tomb of a concubine. Who would fall in love with a concubine? How could there be someone buried with her..."

The young man watched and commented, and Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile again. He really did something right.

"This one looks pretty good."

Finally, the young man chose an old grave that didn't even have a tombstone.

Although there was no tombstone, the young man, with his experience, could tell that the grave was actually quite large. It was only because of its age and the lack of soil added by descendants that the mound looked a bit small.

The owner of this kind of grave must have been rich or noble during his lifetime, and he might have found something great.

Then the young man dug up the grave and crawled in.

"Oh my god! Help!"

A moment later, the young man screamed, crawled out of the grave, and ran away.

Then, a man with a stiff body and a greenish color came out of the grave, jumping and chasing after the young man.

"Zombies."

Li Kunshan blinked his eyes and couldn't help laughing. This young man had really bad luck. Not only did he not find any paper money, but he dug out a zombie instead.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan set out to intercept the zombie.

Bang~!

With a dull thud, the zombie's head was kicked to pieces.

[Kill the green zombie and obtain the entry Light as a Swallow (Blue)! ]

This young man is the clue to finding Wangcai, so he cannot be killed by zombies.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death."

Although there was still some time before dawn, the young man was frightened by the zombies and did not continue working, but went straight home.

I was worried all night, afraid that zombies would come to my door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the rooster crowed at dawn.

"I'm starving."

After a night of tossing and turning, the young man was hungry. He searched the house but found nothing to eat.

Rub your belly and go out.

He had no money, but he didn't want to starve to death.

He walked straight to the wall of a house on the east side of the town, climbed over it as if he was familiar with the place, and went into the kitchen.

"Wangcai! You bastard! You come to my house and steal food again. I will beat you to death today!"

A moment later, I heard shouting and cursing in the yard.

A ferocious middle-aged man chased the young man out of the yard.

At this time, the young man still had half a piece of coarse bread in his mouth. He was running out of breath, but he still wanted the coarse bread.

"Wangcai? Could he be it?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Kunshan's eyes widened, and then his face was filled with excitement.

After searching everywhere, it turns out that person is right in front of you!
