Acting for the gods

Chapter 217 Yue Qiluo's Lair
Jiang Fan took Wuxin as his apprentice, and had no intention of leaving Wen County immediately.

Even though Wen County is just a small and unremarkable county town, there are many things that can exist, not to mention the huge gluttonous mountains, and Jiang Fan is still more interested in Yue Qiluo's "Undead Magic".

After all, it is difficult to find a spell that can make the soul strong enough to withstand thunder, even if it is under one person.

Moreover, Jiang Fan was not familiar with this world.

In Wuxin's world, there are many demons and ghosts, even ancient beasts, which shows that the water is very deep.

Jiang Fan's current strength is indeed not weak, but to say that he is invincible is blind arrogance.

At least the sleeping glutton, Jiang Fan, is not sure of winning. Who knows if there will be a stronger existence.

If you are arrogant and supercilious, you will not have time to regret when you really encounter a hard problem, leading to the failure of the mission and the loss of rewards.

Since he plans to live in Wen County temporarily, it's not a problem to always live in Gu Xuanwu's house.

Although Gu Xuanwu was very happy, the debt of favor had to be repaid.

Things that can be solved with money are nothing to Jiang Fan now.

With a high-grade luminous pearl, Jiang Fan pawned [-] oceans in a pawn shop in the county.

Then I bought a courtyard house in the north of the city as a temporary residence.

There are eight rooms in the courtyard, one main room, two wing rooms, three side rooms, a study room and kitchen.

There are many trees and flowers planted in the yard, and the whole yard looks very quiet.

On that day, Wuxin and Yueya took the money and bought daily necessities such as pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

When Jiang Fan had nothing to do, he practiced meditation in the yard, or wandered in the street to find out where there were demons haunting him, or if there were any anecdotes.

Nuqing Chicken's body is different from that of human beings, it cannot cultivate internal strength, and the Taoism of the Tianshi Mansion is not suitable for it. On weekdays, at most, it does Tai Chi, practices Iron Claw Kung Fu, or sleeps, very lazy.

Wuxin has been cultivating the "Golden Light Curse" diligently during these days. After transforming her mana, she can already transform into a golden light, and her strength has grown rapidly, comparable to an earth master.

After Wuxin fully controls the "Golden Light Curse", his strength will be no less than that of a celestial master.

This is the advantage of living a long time. Even if you are a little stupid, as long as you live long enough, your skills will naturally increase.

Yueya is just an ordinary person with mediocre talent. Jiang Fan didn't take her as his apprentice, because Wuxin liked Yueya and Yueya had nowhere to go, so he stayed and took care of some daily chores, such as cooking and sweeping the floor.

Yueya is not dissatisfied with this. She is more diligent, resolute, assertive, and able to endure hardships.

I am very grateful to Jiang Fan for taking me in. At least my life now is much better than when I was at home!

For people in this era, being able to eat enough food every day is happiness.

As for higher pursuits, we have to wait until we are full.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no evil spirit harming anyone in Wen County, so it was quite peaceful.

During this period, Gu Xuanwu visited Jiang Fan several times, and every time he came, he gave gifts, hoping to get closer.

In Gu Xuanwu's view, a living god like the old heavenly master might not be able to invite even a general. Being able to sit in Wen County is equivalent to a sea god needle, and the sense of security is overwhelming.

The people in Wen County also heard some rumors about the "Old Heavenly Master", and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit, but Jiang Fan was not interested in trivial matters, and basically closed the door to thank the guests.

At the same time, Zhang Xianzong was worried that the old celestial master would spoil his good deeds.

Zhang Xianzong's ambition is not small. He has long been dissatisfied with the self-righteous Gu Xuanwu and wants to replace him. He has been secretly cultivating his own power these years.

Originally, he planned to do it in the next few days, but when Jiang Fan came, he showed extraordinary means, which made Zhang Xianzong afraid and dared not act rashly.

Zhang Xianzong was not sure whether the other party would stand up for Gu Xuanwu, his own power was not as great as Gu Xuanwu's, only by surprise could he win.

Now that the old celestial master has become famous, once he sided with Gu Xuanwu, it would be a devastating blow to Zhang Xianzong.

He couldn't afford to lose, so he was very cautious, afraid of showing his feet.

But what Zhang Xianzong didn't know was that Jiang Fan had already told Gu Xuanwu about his ulterior motives.

Gu Xuanwu was a man of loyalty and treated his brothers sincerely. Although he didn't fully believe Jiang Fan's words, he did have suspicions about Zhang Xianzong.

It's not that Gu Xuanwu doesn't understand the principle of guarding against others.

To be able to rise from a farm boy with a butcher's knife to his current status, Gu Xuanwu naturally did not rely on the skill and luck of a three-legged cat, he lacked neither wit nor courage.

After these few days of observation, Gu Xuanwu did not find Zhang Xianzong's abnormal behavior, and temporarily dispelled his suspicions.

But whenever he saw Zhang Xianzong's serious face, Gu Xuanwu still couldn't help muttering.

I didn't think so before, but after Jiang Fan's reminder, when Gu Xuanwu looked at Zhang Xianzong again, he always felt that this guy was very thoughtful and didn't care about anything.

[Brother, don't let me down! 】

Having made a decision in his heart, Gu Xuanwu planned to find an opportunity to test Zhang Xianzong.

If Zhang Xianzong is not the best boy, if he is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, then don't blame him for not showing brotherhood.

Soon a rough plan rose in Gu Xuanwu's mind.

It just so happened that he was in Wenxian County before, and wanted to make some noise, and planned to marry Zhang Xianzong to his concubine.

By the way, you can take the opportunity to get in touch with the landlords and gentry in Wen County, and find out the background and attitude of these people.

After making a decision, Gu Xuanwu began to make up his mind.

the next day.

Gu Xuanwu sent someone to send invitations to Jiang Fan, Wu Xin and others.

Looking at the invitation card in his hand, he asked unintentionally: "Master, Zhang Xianzong is marrying his concubine, shall we go?"

"I won't go if I'm a teacher. You can send a congratulatory gift for the teacher."

After a few days of visits, Jiang Fan has confirmed where Yue Qiluo's lair is, and intends to obtain the "Undead Magic".

As for Zhang Xianzong, are you familiar with him?
Jiang Fan took the Nuqing Chicken to a barren hill more than 50 miles away from Wen County.

This is not only Yue Qiluo's lair, but also the place where Taotie sleeps. Looking at the huge mountain peak, who would have thought that there is an ancient fierce beast under this soil!
It has to be said that Taotie is a foodie, even if he is asleep, once a stranger approaches, he will be sucked into his belly.

Jiang Fan didn't want to fight Taotie, the outcome was uncertain and meaningless.

Jiang Fan had contacted Yue Qiluo before, and released Liuying, the guide. After a while, Liuying, the guide, found a cave that had been dusty for a long time according to Yue Qiluo's breath.

This place is very remote, and there are many yellowed cloth strips on the dead trees around.

I don't know how long these cloth strips have been hung, and they are full of traces of time, but there is no corruption.

There are special runes drawn on the cloth strips, with an evil spirit, and there are many bones of birds and animals under the dead trees around, some of which have long been decayed, and some are still relatively fresh.

"Quack~"

A few carrion crows were startled by the passing Jiang Fan and the Nuqing Chicken, and landed on a dead tree to look around.

At this moment, the cloth strips dancing with the wind suddenly reversed, entangled the approaching crows like poisonous snakes, and within a short while, those crows were drained of energy and turned into mummified corpses.
