After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 144 The Panshan School in Shu!

"Do you want to take a nap?" Qinzhou asked.

"I was afraid you would run away while I was asleep."

Although he was a little sleepy after eating, Chen Yang didn't have the habit of taking a nap. "This time, it's your turn to help me carry the backpack."

Without saying anything, Chen Yang threw the backpack to Qin Zhou.

It's fair for each person to carry a certain distance.

Qin Zhou's face trembled, but he didn't say much. He looked up at Centipede Ridge and said, "This mountain is extremely steep, and there are many poisonous insects on it. Can you climb it? Do you want me to let you run for half an hour first?"

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Chen Yang almost laughed out loud when he heard this. If he were to run first, he might be able to reach the Snake King Temple in half an hour.

"Why, do you feel guilty?"

Qin Zhou stroked the beard on his chin and said, "If you feel guilty and insist on letting me run first, that's not impossible."

It turns out that this old guy is waiting here.

Judging from the previous leg strength competition, Qinzhou felt that although Chen Yang's physical fitness was much stronger, his body skills were far behind him.

He waited for nearly an hour before Chen Yang arrived here, so he thought that Chen Yang could not outrun him at all.

He is sure to win this competition.

Of course, he didn't know that Chen Yang had been delayed in the Old Ghost Forest for almost two hours, otherwise he would definitely not have said that.

He did not take the Old Ghost Forest along the way. He took a shortcut. Although it was not much faster, it at least saved him five minutes.

Chen Yang stretched lazily, "Okay, I'll let you run first, but it's not impossible. You carry the backpack!"

Qinzhou won't be polite to him.

He put his two backpacks on his back, walked quickly to the foot of the cliff, grabbed a protruding rock, and quickly jumped up.

In his sixties or seventies, he carried hundreds of pounds of weight and climbed rocks with his bare hands.

This old man is indeed quite capable.

"Little guy, are you dumbfounded?"

Qinzhou climbed up fifty or sixty meters, looked down, and saw Chen Yang standing there. He was immediately happy.

Such a steep and high cliff cannot be climbed by people with good physical fitness. Without some real skills, it is impossible.

But Chen Yang ignored him.

Qinzhou felt disappointed and continued to climb up quickly using his hands and feet.

He was moving so fast that in a short while his figure was obscured by the bushes on the cliff.

"Hehe, crawl slowly, or you'll fall to your death."

Chen Yang smiled playfully, rubbed his full stomach, and walked towards Feng'er Cave.

If you go through the wind cave, you can reach the other side of the mountain. I must be crazy to follow you to climb the mountain.

Wind cave.

The entrance to the cave is relatively hidden. Not to mention that few people come here, even if people pass by here frequently, it would be difficult to find the entrance if they are not careful.

It was in this cave that Chen Yang met He Shiwu for the first time.

There was no guarantee that the guy would come back, so Chen Yang was still very careful after entering Feng'er Cave.

It was dark in the cave.

The flashlight was turned on and it was as bright as day.

The cave was very humid and windy, with the mountain wind blowing in opposite directions, making a whistling sound.

The sound of the wind was like the whimpering of wild cats, which was a bit creepy.

Chen Yang doesn't like this kind of narrow and enclosed space very much, it makes him feel insecure.

Holding a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other, Chen Yang looked around vigilantly, fearing that he would run into any sudden danger.

Centipedes would occasionally crawl on the cave walls. This place really deserves to be called Centipede Ridge, as centipedes are rampant here.

Chen Yang didn't provoke them and just walked straight forward.

After a while, we passed by the place where He Shiwu hung the body.

Chen Yang looked up, his eyebrows twisted into knots.

I saw that the corpses of those animals were covered with a layer of black stuff. Those things were constantly squirming, and I could even hear sparse chewing sounds.

Centipede.

The bodies of these corpses were covered with centipedes.

They are gnawing on the corpses.

Chen Yang couldn't help but feel his teeth ache. He took out his umbrella, opened it, and walked through carefully, fearing that the centipedes would fall and land on him.

"Boom!"

However, just as Chen Yang was leaving quickly, a monkey corpse fell from the top of the cave and landed directly in front of him.

The stench of a rotting corpse instantly hit me in the face.

Chen Yang was startled.

The next second, many centipedes exploded from the monkey's body, as if they sensed the presence of living people around them, and quickly moved towards Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's face twitched slightly.

He didn't want to mess with these things.

At that moment, he took two quick steps, leaped over, greased his feet, and ran out quickly.

The group of centipedes seemed to have received some kind of instructions and chased after him madly, but their speed was no match for Chen Yang's. In just a moment, they could no longer see him.

After a while, Chen Yang finally passed through the cave and came to the back of Centipede Ridge.

I felt scared for a while.

Looking back into the cave, Chen Yang frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.

The last time I came here, I didn’t see so many centipedes.

Why are there so many this time?
Moreover, why do these centipedes seem to recognize humans? I didn’t provoke them, but they seemed to be provoking me?
Looking at the dark hole, the centipede did not chase out.

Chen Yang always felt that there was something strange in this cave.

I'll explore it more carefully after I come back from Mixiangou.

He doesn't have the time to study it now. The old man from Qinzhou must have climbed to the top of Centipede Ridge by now.

If I were slower, I would be left behind by him.

In the race between the tortoise and the hare, why did the tortoise win? Because it was focused. Why did the hare lose? Because it was indecisive. Chen Yang obviously would not make the same mistake.

He immediately leaped into the forest, leaped onto a branch in a few steps, and quickly ran towards the Snake King Temple.

"Fuck, this kid..."

Qinzhou's speed was even faster than Chen Yang had imagined. At this time, he had already climbed over Centipede Ridge and was running wildly down.

The terrain on the back of Centipede Ridge is much gentler and not as steep as the front mountain. The mountain is covered with shrubs, and there are many places to leverage. Qinzhou uses the White Ape Skills and his speed is much faster than climbing a mountain.

The previous second he was still feeling complacent, thinking that Chen Yang was probably still staring at the cliff and worrying, but he didn't know that the next second, he looked up and looked into the distance.

All I saw was a figure leaping in the treetops of the woods at the foot of the mountain, like a nimble swallow, jumping from one tree to that tree, and from that tree to the top of a farther tree, before quickly flying away.

He was puzzled at first, but after taking a closer look, he started cursing.

Isn’t that Chen Yang?
When did this kid run to the front?

Also, when did he learn the light-body kung fu?
"What a brat."

Qin Zhou's face turned red, and he threw his backpack down the mountain. He jumped up the slope and rolled down the mountain.

It would have taken him more than ten minutes to go down the mountain, but he managed to roll down the mountain in just over a minute.

He picked up the backpack, jumped into the forest, and chased all the way.

After a few leaps, the figure disappeared.

……

-

Snake King Temple.

Qinzhou arrived at the Snake King Temple panting. Chen Yang was sitting on a wooden stake in front of the temple, leisurely drinking iced sour plum juice.

"Why did it take so long? I've been waiting for you for half an hour."

Chen Yang had a playful smile on his face. Just as the old man had been so arrogant in Centipede Ridge before, Chen Yang was just as arrogant now.

"call!"

Qin Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and threw his backpack on the ground.

He sat down next to it, sweating profusely.

"I underestimated you. If I'm not mistaken, your light body technique is the Feiyan Kungfu of Emei, right?"

The folk methods of practicing Qinggong are actually similar, such as tying sandbags to the legs to enhance jumping ability and reaction ability, but the body movements are different.

Many of them are imitations of animal movements. For example, his Eight Steps of the White Ape imitates the movements of apes, and the Flying Swallow Skill imitates the Flying Swallow. Qinzhou is an old hand, so his origin can naturally be seen at a glance.

"Oh, you saw it?" Chen Yang pretended to be surprised.

"Humph."

Qin Zhou snorted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew Qinggong?" "You didn't ask me earlier."

Chen Yang shrugged, as a matter of course.

Qinzhou was extremely depressed.

He thought he had a sure win because with his physical skills, Chen Yang couldn't possibly outrun him. However, he didn't expect that he would be fooled by this kid Chen Yang.

If he knew that Chen Yang was good at Qinggong, he would not have fought this battle at all.

This boy is quite cunning.

"Where did you learn the Feiyan Kung Fu?" Qinzhou asked.

"Are you in charge?"

"Oh, I know this even without you telling me. Your grandfather taught you, right? No, your grandfather is a fake. How could he know the Flying Swallow Kung Fu..."

"That's not right. Your great grandfather was forced to swear a solemn oath that he would not pass on the martial arts of Blind Pang's lineage to future generations..."

Qinzhou just kept talking to himself, frowning and relaxing his brows.

What are these?
"What did you say? My great-grandfather? What oath?" Chen Yang looked at the old man in front of him with a look of astonishment.

His words successfully piqued Chen Yang's interest.

"Ah."

Qin Zhou came back to his senses and looked at Chen Yang jokingly, "Your grandfather probably never told you about it, right? Do you know how your great-grandfather died?"

Chen Yang shook his head.

Before this, Chen Yang had no idea about his great-grandfather. He would only go to his great-grandfather's grave to pay his respects during the holidays when his grandfather brought the family home to visit the grave.

All he knew about his great-grandfather was his name, Chen Tongsheng.

He even found out recently that his great-grandfather was a butcher.

After all, they are several generations apart. When he was born, his great-grandfather had been dead for twenty or thirty years. If he hadn't returned to the village this time, he might never have the chance to learn about his great-grandfather's past in his life.

"Give me the things from Blind Pang's tomb and I will tell you about it." Qinzhou coaxed him patiently.

"You can tell if you want to."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Am I so easily fooled?

"Hey."

Knowing that Chen Yang would react like this, Qin Zhou laughed, took out his pipe, lit up the tobacco, and took a few puffs. "It was an old story from fifty or sixty years ago. Speaking of it, it's still the fault of Blind Pang..."

"Blind Pang? Why do you want to blame Blind Pang?"

"It's his fault that he died too early."

Qin Zhou tapped the pipe in his hand against his feet and exhaled a long puff of turbid smoke. "If he hadn't died, your great grandfather wouldn't have been in such a passive situation. He died in his fifties. Sigh..."

He sighed, seeming a little regretful.

Chen Yang frowned, "How did my great grandfather die?"

"Didn't your grandfather tell you?"

“Yes.”

Chen Yang nodded, "It was said that she was sending my great-grandmother back to her parents' home to visit relatives. She encountered someone falling into the water at the Sipanshan Reservoir, and she drowned while trying to save the person..."

"what."

Qin Zhou smiled and glanced at Chen Yang, "Do you believe it?"

Chen Yang paused.

Don't know how to answer.

What's there to believe or not? Whatever grandpa said was the truth, and he had never doubted it before.

But listening to Qinzhou's story, it seems that there is another hidden story?

"If your grandfather won't tell you, then I won't tell you, lest he accuse me of being nosy again."

Qinzhou took a puff of his pipe and lost interest in continuing.

"Stop talking halfway. You will be without a companion in the future." Chen Yang said suddenly.

"Ah."

Qin Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm already old, why do I need a partner? Isn't a young sister more beautiful?"

Chen Yang's face trembled. "Then I will be begging at the market, my life span will be halved, and I will have no money to earn..."

"Stop, stop..."

Qin Zhou quickly stopped him, "You are so good at singing a lot of lyrics, why don't you just do crosstalk?"

"Are you going to tell it or not?" Chen Yang looked at him impatiently.

Qin Zhou waved his hand and said, "You should go back and ask your grandfather. I can only tell you that your great-grandfather did die in the Sipanshan Reservoir, but he didn't save someone from drowning..."

Seeing his firm attitude, Chen Yang didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that there is indeed something behind my great-grandfather's death.

But why did grandpa hide it?
Chen Yang took a deep breath and didn't think too much about it. He would just ask the old man in detail when he returned.

"I should be considered the winner of this competition, right?" Chen Yang changed the subject.

"You kid is playing tricks on me."

Qinzhou was a little indignant, but he had to admit that he had indeed lost.

"You made the rules. There's nothing shady about it."

Chen Yang spread his hands, looking very generous. "Looking at your age, it's not easy. How about this? You help me catch the Polygonum multiflorum. After that, I will give you the things in Old Man Pang's tomb."

Qinzhou was stunned when he heard this.

But soon, he came to his senses and obviously didn't believe it. "How do I know if you're going to just pick up something to fool me?"

Chen Yang looked at him. "When people get along with each other, the most important thing is honesty. As long as you don't fool me, I will definitely not fool you. Besides, you should know what the things in old man Pang's tomb are, right?"

If he knew nothing, how could he go to so much trouble to rob tombs?

Qin Zhou took two puffs of his pipe and finally seemed to have made some kind of decision, "Okay, deal."

Chen Yang's mouth corners curved slightly.

Although they had an agreement in advance, Chen Yang could see that the old guy was not willing to do it, and was afraid that he would be cunning and unwilling to work hard. Now, he had thrown out such a bait, so was he still afraid that the old guy would not do his best?

As for the things in Blind Pang’s tomb, they are of no use to Chen Yang.

He had cut the safe with a cutting machine and the key was broken. What was the use of it?

Even if Qinzhou got the key, without a safe, what could he do to open it?
It’s a pity that Qinzhou didn’t know Chen Yang’s plan.

Otherwise, one would definitely sigh and say that this grandson is really sinister.

After hesitating for a while, Qinzhou said slowly, "You have to think about it carefully. This Polygonum multiflorum is something that even Blind Pang and your great grandfather could not deal with together. If we really deal with it, the consequences will be..."

"Consequences? What consequences can there be?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Qin Zhou's face.

He had heard Huang Geshu guess that there might be someone behind He Shiwu, and his grandfather also said that his great-grandfather and his team had the opportunity to get rid of He Shiwu, but an accident happened along the way.

He was very curious about what kind of accident it was. Was it because of the existence behind He Shiwu?

Qin Zhou said, "Let me tell you this. According to the information I have obtained, this Polygonum multiflorum was deliberately cultivated by someone. Moreover, the person who cultivated it has a strong backing. I am afraid we cannot afford to provoke him..."

At this point, Qin Zhou looked directly at Chen Yang, "Do you still dare to deal with it?"

A pair of slanted eyes were clearly staring at Chen Yang, but to Chen Yang it felt like they were staring somewhere else.

really.

His guess was confirmed here in Qinzhou.

"You have to tell me first, who is the person and what force cultivated this Polygonum multiflorum?" Chen Yang said.

He was now full of curiosity about He Shiwu's information.

Qinzhou said calmly, "In the Panshan world of our Shu land, there is a saying that 'one tree blooms five flowers, and five flowers and eight leaves support it'. This tree refers to Emei. Most of the Panshan schools in Shu land come from Emei..."

"The five schools are Qingniu in Fengdu, Tiefo in Tongjiang, Huangling in Kaixian, Dianyi in Fuling, and Qingcheng in Guanxian. These schools all have the Panshan technique passed down."

"As for the Eight Leaves, they refer to the Eight Veins of Panshan. The old man you met at Tiger Leaping Cliff last time was from the Wu family of Pingdingshan, one of the Eight Veins."

……

It was not until this time, from Qinzhou's mouth, that Chen Yang had a certain understanding of the Panshan business.

Panshan people are different from mountain hunters. These Panshan people roam among the mountains and forests, specifically looking for treasures and hunting spiritual creatures in exchange for huge monetary gains.

In other words, they are interested in the high-end goods in the mountains, and they don't even look at ordinary things.

These people all have some abilities.

"So, who was the person who cultivated He Shiwu?" Chen Yang asked.

Qin Zhou shook his head. "I don't know who it is exactly, but based on my investigations over the years, I can be sure that this person should be from one of the Eight Veins. Among them, the Jianmen Li family is a big suspect. Of course, it's just a suspicion. The Jianmen Li family is quite proficient in the art of raising spirits. It's not that there are no people raising spirits in the other families, but the Li family has a history of raising evil things..."

"There are so many people in the Jianmen Li family? Is there no one to suspect?" Chen Yang asked.

Qin Zhou smiled bitterly, "It's been so many years. This Polygonum multiflorum first committed a crime in the 1950s. That person must have cultivated it with blood for at least ten years before it had the chance to develop the ability to hide!"

"According to the time calculation, it must have been at least in the forties. We won't say much. Even if the man was only twenty years old at the time, if he could live to this day, he would be a hundred years old. How many people do you think can live to be a hundred years old?"
