Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Because of the presence of the three senior brothers and sisters, Partridge Whistle and Hua Ling, the charity cemetery seemed particularly lively these two days.

Uncle Jiu was also cheerful all day long, especially when he learned that Hua Ling was also proficient in pharmacology, he was shocked.

Who would hate a cute, sweet girl with a good personality who can use herbal medicine to cure diseases and save lives?

Wencai seemed to have completely forgotten the girl from Shangli Village. Now he followed Hua Ling all day long, calling her "Sister Hua Ling, Sister Hua Ling".

Not to mention the old foreigner, Lu Li couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a few chestnuts.

Uncle Jiu also gave Hua Ling some medical books these two days.

Medicine and science are inseparable, and Yi Zhuang has collected quite a few books of this type. Every time Lu Li goes out, he will intentionally collect some.

Hua Ling gratefully accepted it at the suggestion of Partridge Whistle, and the name of Uncle Jiu was changed from Master Lin to Master Jiu.

Uncle Jiu did not refuse and accepted it happily.

Although they had only spent a short time together, Partridge Whistle and the other two could see that the people in the charity cemetery were easy to get along with.

This way I felt relieved and slowly integrated into the community.

Three days later, Lu Li collected a lot of information about Xiangxi, and was completely relieved to see that Partridge Whistle was also completely relieved.

So I proposed to set off.

Partridge Whistle has not been idle during these three days. He asked Hua Ling to prepare several bottles of pills to protect against poisonous insects and poisons.

"Brother, be careful and come to us as soon as possible." Hua Ling wiped her tears and looked at Partridge Whistle. The old foreigner stood beside Hua Ling and let her lean on his shoulder.

"Yes, you wait for me." Partridge Whistle was not used to the three of them being separated. After so many years of getting along with each other, Partridge Whistle had already regarded the two of them as his own brothers and sisters.

"Ah Li, if you have anything to say, remember to use Taoism to communicate. Don't forget that you are from Maoshan, and the entire Maoshan stands behind you."

"Don't worry, Master. You know my strength. We will leave then. Take care of yourself, Master. Wencai must take good care of you." Lu Li turned around and walked out of the town with Partridge Whistle.

Because Partridge Whistle didn't know Taoism, he traveled much slower than Lu Li himself. Fortunately, Lu Li was not in a hurry either, and the two of them walked towards the northwest.

It is quite time-consuming to pass through difficult or war-torn areas and take detours.

Fortunately, Lu Li and Queqiao Shao are people who travel around frequently.

When taking a detour through Xifu to Xiangxi, Lu Li was familiar with the place because he had been there last time.

Xifu is world-famous for its largest number of mountains and forests. The Shiwān Mountains are still a place that the spiritual world dares not go deep into, and the water system is also relatively developed.

The two did not stay long, but found an inn to stay for one night.

While eating, Partridge Whistle told Lu Li some stories about the tomb-robbing world.

In his previous life, Lu Li was particularly fascinated by these mythological stories.

I also fantasized about going on adventures with Hu Bayi or Wu Xiaodi and becoming a legendary figure in the end.

Otherwise, after traveling through time, he would not have grabbed the opportunity to learn Taoism from Uncle Jiu so quickly.

Now they are going to rob tombs with their grandfather's ancestor, Partridge Whistle. Fate is really amazing.

Now that my cultivation has reached a high level, I have a rough idea of ​​the magical items in the tombs of kings and princes.

Most of them should be the magic tools of ancient qigong practitioners, or items they refined with special powers, which they presented to some people in power in the name of immortality.

A small number of them are rare treasures from heaven and earth, such as minerals brought by meteorites.

In Lu Li's opinion, there are only two ways to achieve unlimited immortality: practicing or taking elixirs.

Of course it has to be a real elixir, not a poison pill.

Others who use external forces to gain immortality all have side effects, either turning into monsters or being bound by rules.

The world is very fair in some respects: if you gain something, you must lose something.

The two rested for a night in the capital of Xifu Province before continuing on their journey.

Over the mountains and across the valleys.

It took them a month to arrive in Xiangxi.

It wasn't a problem because Lu Li had a special physique and was a cultivator, but Partridge Whistle felt sore all over.

Although he gritted his teeth and followed, Lu Li was afraid of any accidents so he took a good rest for three days to recuperate.

The two of them spent some more time arriving at the Tusi County town in western Hunan, where they could see a glimpse of the original Tusi dynasty.

There are still many ethnic minorities in the area. Although Lu Li has been to Xiangxi twice, both times he went to the provincial capital.

I have never been here.

Here Lu Li met the person sent by Xiangling to pick him up, and it turned out to be Hua Maguai, Chen Yulou's right-hand man.

This shows how much Chen Yulou values ​​Lu Li.

"Master Lu, I finally got you here."

Hua Maguai, with a smile on his face, bowed to Lu Li and then greeted Queqiao Shao.

"Why are you here? Just send someone to lead the way. You have so many things to do over there."

Lu Li really felt that it was unnecessary. There were tens of thousands of people in Xiangling to manage, and Chen Yulou was too busy to handle it.

It all depends on the few people under his command, and Hua Maguai is his most trusted one.

Hua Maguai led the way and turned back to say, "The general manager was afraid that his subordinates would not be careful and would delay your important matters, so he sent me here. If you have anything to do, just tell me. We have people and supplies ready for you."

I have to say that Chen Yulou does a great job. Even Lu Li smiled after hearing what happened.

Maybe I don't need it, but it feels good to have someone waiting for my orders at this moment.

This may be power. No wonder so many people are reluctant to give it up.

"Thank your boss for me. Please come back after you drop me off at my destination. There are some things that will happen next that you cannot interfere with."

After Lu Li finished speaking, he glanced at Hua Maguai. Hua Maguai's face changed and he thought of the Xiangxi Corpse King's awe-inspiring aura and his powerlessness when facing the six-winged centipede.

"Then I will wait for the Taoist's instructions in this county."

Lu Li likes this kind of sensible person. If he takes Partridge Whistle with him alone, he can still focus on protecting him.

But it would be a problem if we were to bring Xiang Ling's men with us. Hua Ma would really die here.

How can I meet Chen Yulou in the future?

There are not only mechanisms and weird things in that tomb, maybe there are also Japanese people there.

The road is mountainous and rugged, with many twists and turns. There were no cement roads here in that era.

There were cliffs on both sides. Fortunately, Xiangling and his men were all skilled in martial arts, and Lu Li used his magic power to protect his clothes.

Avoiding being splashed by mud made the dusty Partridge Whistle envious.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Li saw few people along the way.

Hua Maguai suggested that they rest for a night first. They only had to walk twenty miles along the mountain road to reach their destination. Seeing that they were indeed tired, Lu Li agreed.

Several people lit a fire and roasted the dry food they brought with them.

The night sky is dotted with stars, full of a psychedelic feeling, and occasionally the calls of unknown animals can be heard around.

Even though they were asleep, they remained alert as it was common for animals to appear in the wilderness.

The night passed peacefully, and the group set out early the next day, finally arriving at Ling Village when the sun came out.

This is where the ancient Tusi city is located. The village is divided into two "Luocheng" inside and outside, and the crisscrossing streets fill the entire village.

The numerous pavilions and terraces tell the story of the former prosperity and glory of this place.

Lu Li originally thought that the legend told by Partridge Whistle was exaggerated, but when he arrived in Tusi City, he found that the legend was not comprehensive enough.

This city seemed to be able to accommodate several thousand households, and the palace area alone took up a small half of the area.

It also shows the power and luxury of the chieftain.

There are also ancestral halls and ancestral temples here, where tablets of ancestors from past generations are enshrined.

"Master, I sent people to inquire ahead of time. They said that White Nose knew that he had caused public outrage, so he did not bury his tomb on the Purple Gold Mountain where the Tusi tombs are located, but built it at the bottom of the river. Because the water is too deep and the time is short, we have no way to investigate."

After hesitating for a while, Hua Maguai continued, "But our people found some Fuso people appearing over the Patong Lake, so it is very likely that they are from the Mengdong River. Of course, this is all based on my guess."

"You have accomplished this in such a short time. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and tell Mr. Chen that I appreciate your kindness."

Hua Maguai grinned happily. She had been busy doing all this just waiting for Lu Li to say this.

When he went out, he always told his father not to come back until he had taken good care of Lu Li.

Now I can finally rest assured. As long as Lu Li is satisfied, being a little tired doesn't matter.
