Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 468 Bad Luck is Contagious

Lian Gouyan knew from a young age that he was different from others.

Aside from his handsome face (not really), outstanding temperament (questionable), and excellent aesthetic sense (hard to say), this incongruity mainly stems from the fact that he is a painting.

At least the children in Baoxiang City don't have to go back to the scrolls to draw pictures from time to time.

But the grandfather who adopted Lian Goulong told him: Keep your mouth shut and watch your tongue.

Of course, when the hooks got bigger, they also discovered the dangers of the scrolls, but we'll leave that aside for now.

But this is not a reason for Wei Xi to make a mess of the scroll, Lian Gouyan thought painfully.

"I knew it! Wei Xi is so shameless!"

Having exchanged the [Fish Intestine Mirror], Lian Gou, disregarding his weakened state, opened the scroll to find a scene of utter devastation.

In particular, when Bu Hua saw him, she ran away as fast as she could, a stark contrast to her usual arrogant attitude.

Lian Gouyan was utterly shocked and blurted out, "Good heavens, what's going on?"

The reason Wei Xi was forcibly pulled out of the scroll was because Lian Gouhan sensed that the scroll was about to go out of control. Judging from the situation, it doesn't seem like the great demon Wei was wronged.

It's as if Wei Xi caused a huge scene inside the scroll!
Lian Gou scratched his head. Anyway, he and Bu Hua didn't get along, so he didn't care!
Having confirmed that the painting had only suffered psychological trauma, Lian Gou turned his attention to rescuing the two unfortunate souls in the sea.

The fight in the tunnel had drained him of his energy; his mind was still a mess, and he had to sort things out one by one.

Lian Gouhan excelled at ambushes, making him incomparable to a natural warrior like Qin Feng. After losing several hand-to-hand combat matches, he became a deformed, immobile figure.

Desperate measures, Lian Gouyi chose to contact Wei Xi using the [fish intestine endoscope].

I don't know what went wrong with Wei Xi, but his spiritual power level is actually lower than mine, so the [Fish Intestine Mirror] technique worked.

Looking at the messy guest room, Lian Gouhan quickly found the Xuan paper left on the table.

The clues above are still the ones I compiled myself, and there is no other handwriting.

“There was no contact with the Zhenhai Sect,” Lian Gouyan murmured, “It seems Wei Xi didn’t have time to do it…”

This boosted Lian Gou's spirits a bit—he might not have the ability to go into business, but he certainly had the guts to recruit people!

Knowing his own limitations, Lian Gouyi immediately wrote a letter, attached a talisman, opened the window, and prepared to send it to Zhenhai Sect.

"What the hell?! [Tethering Silk]!"

Staring in shock at the green moon outside the window, Lian Gou's attention was immediately drawn to several red lines hanging from the sky.

The next moment, the window slammed shut.

Then it opened again, revealing Lian Gouyan's surprised and uncertain face.

"Is this the Green Moon Tide? How did I get caught up in it?"

"Where did all these 'threads' come from? Is Wei Xi about to come out?"

Having little understanding of the concept of "thread pulling," Lian Gou was in a state of confusion, and the green moon in the sky made it even harder for him to breathe.

According to Lian Gou Mang's understanding, when the Green Moon Tide appears, people in the sea will be in danger.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Gouyan turned and ran outside: he was going to find that old man and use all sorts of tricks to force him to reveal his escape plan.

Lian Gou Mang said he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve!

The lobby was empty; no one would go out looking for drinks in this awful weather.

Behind the counter was the shopkeeper, who was doing semi-permanent accounting and was still fiddling with the abacus beads.

Lian Gou's body moved faster than his brain; he rushed to the door before realizing something was wrong.

It was the sound. Intuition told Lian Gou that it was too quiet around him, and if he stepped out of this door, he might die a horrible death.

Goosebumps are caused by the "linked hooks" stroke, and a heart pounding like a drum is also caused by the "linked hooks" stroke.

Years of experience operating in the gray area allowed Lian Gou to regain his composure and retreat silently.

The rhythmic sound of the abacus beads was captivating, but Lian Goulong paid it no heed, instinctively moving away from the dark counter.

"This is."

Lian Goulong suddenly realized that the sound that had been pounding his eardrums was not his heartbeat.

Instead, it was the slow, clanging sound of abacus beads.

Lian Gou swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then approached the counter as quickly as possible. He reached out and placed his hand on the shopkeeper's shoulder.

The shopkeeper did not react; like slippery snow, his skin, unable to bear the weight, slipped off his body.

The sound of flesh rubbing against flesh and the sound of the door opening rang out at the same time, and thick blood splattered on Lian Gou's eyebrows and eyes.

Wei Xi never imagined that having hands and feet would be such a wonderful thing.

Wei and Qin enjoyed their human form in Deadwater City, running around in a city full of corpses.

Although this behavior is somewhat too relaxed, the original inhabitants of Deadwater City have no objections.

It must be said that although Yu Xianzhou has done all sorts of bad things, it has a unique eye, and the abilities it extracts from other demonic beasts are all outstanding.

Wei Xi accepted the replacement capacity that had once belonged to the drought-stricken areas.

"According to you, this Eastern Yi demon leader is truly remarkable," Qin Feng exclaimed, staring at the leaping flames in the coral box. "Who would have thought that the source of the drought-resistant power guarding the oasis in the Western Regions would be a ball of fire!"

"I don't know," Wei Xi said honestly. "I don't know anything about demonic beasts."

Qin Feng touched his face as he said, "If it weren't for the infighting among the monsters, would we still be struggling to survive under their claws?"

Wei Xi paused, then for some reason thought of Zuo Fei's confident vows, and then of the abyss outside. He immediately deflated and shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Qin Feng laughed heartily, "If that's really the case, then I've got something to do! I, Qin Feng of Zhongzhou, will be the one to slay demonic beasts and establish my own sect!"

Wei and Qin rested for an hour or so before trying to find a way to leave.

However, Wei Xi suddenly had an idea and tentatively cast a spell to find objects.

The first attempt failed, and Wei Xi pondered for a moment before changing the target of his object-finding technique.

This time, they got the hang of it and, following the clues, Wei and Qin found a charcoal stall.

"These are the Tenth Princess's guards?" Qin Feng thought for a moment. "And that Qiao Sen?"

Unable to find the token, Wei Xi set aside his search for Qiao Sen's body.

After all, I've already taken the spirit stones, so I should still take the opportunity to complete my employer's mission.

Learning from the lessons of the merfolk, Wei Xi created a puppet on the spot to examine the corpse.

Unfortunately, he gained nothing. Blinded by greed, Wei Xi even set his sights on some unspeakable holes.

Who knows where that kid put the token before he died?

Before Wei Xi could go completely mad, Qin Feng stopped her in time, pointing out that the Tenth Princess's words should not be entirely trusted.

So, Wei Xi and Qin Feng then tried different methods to recite the incantations for finding various tokens.

The tokens of the Black-Clad Guards of the now-extinct Song Kingdom, the tokens of the disciples of the previous generations of Linshui Pavilion, and the tokens of the elders of Dingxin Sect are well-preserved, but the patterns are blurred and the information is unrecognizable. Basically, all the forces, large and small, have sent people to these tokens over the past few thousand years.

Wei Xi now suspects that the corpses that die in this body of water will eventually converge on Deadwater City.

As for the token that the employer wanted, Wei and Qin never found it.

Having collected thousands of tokens, Wei Xi's expression grew increasingly grim.

Until Wei Xi turned to searching for the tokens of monsters like Yu Han.

With only one response, Wei and Qin followed the search technique to the furnace-shaped building in the very center of the city. They passed through numerous barriers, bypassed walls where seaweed and coral grew intertwined, and crawled into the bottom floor of the furnace-shaped building, where they found a cellar in a dark room filled with manuscripts.

Wei Xi took the lead, and the lights in the cellar slowly came back on.

Just like a thousand years ago.

The cellar was quite spacious, with ancient characters carved on the four walls, and a still-functioning array in the very center.

Without needing to look further, Wei Xi determined that the core of the array was a token belonging to a demon beast.

But she couldn't understand the characters near the formation.

Just to be on the safe side, Wei Xi asked Qin Feng to come down and use the [Fish Intestine Mirror] to contact Lian Gouhan.

After waiting for a long time, the call finally connected.

Before Wei Xi could speak, they heard Lian Gouyi's extremely suppressed cry for help.

"Give my brother a hand! Give my brother a hand!"

I was busy working on data for the first few days of this week, and I was basically going to bed at 1 a.m.
