Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 84: South Hair and North Horse
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the cold moon was shining brightly in the night sky. On the Tiankui Mountains, a man in a green shirt was standing on a mountain path, looking curiously towards the source of the sound.

All I could see were the outlines of two teenagers, with something that looked like a human figure jumping between them.

They were moving flexibly through the path, heading towards Ye Beixuan.

"There seems to be a figure over there?"

One of the young men suddenly looked towards Ye Beixuan and said in surprise.

"It looks like a person. I thought it was just wormwood! How could someone be on this mountain road at this late hour? Is he a lost idiot? Someone with poor direction?"

"Hahahahahaha, then he's just as directionally challenged as you!"

"How about we scare him together and tease him, it would be more interesting than teasing this thing."

"Let's go, together, together."

Two figures emerged, and the human figure in the middle was also slowly jumping over. Even when they were not far away, they deliberately hid in the tall wormwood. Then one of the young men began to make seals with his fingers.

"Uh" a sinister sigh came, and a human figure jumped over in an instant.

He was dressed in rotten clothes and exuded a rotten smell.

His face was pale, his eyes were hollow, his lips were black and cracked, his fangs were sharp and exposed, gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and his nails were long and sharp.

Ye Beixuan turned his head and saw clearly. He was immediately shocked. Is this a zombie? Those two children were just controlling zombies for fun?

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. It seemed that these two naughty children just wanted to scare him!

He pretended not to see the zombies, but quietly activated [Natural]

The zombie was frightened and immediately jumped back a long distance. No matter how the two teenagers in the weeds cast spells, the zombie just shook its head and refused to move forward.

"what happened?"

"He doesn't seem to have seen the zombies yet."

"Why aren't the zombies moving?"

The two teenagers were quite puzzled when they saw that the zombies did not move. Just as they were about to show up, they suddenly heard a voice next to their ears, which scared them so much that they jumped up.

"What are you doing hiding here?"

"When did you discover us?"

"Tell me, why are you trying to scare us?"

"Oh! The bad guy is the first to complain." Ye Beixuan teased.

When the two heard this, their momentum instantly weakened and they even lost their confidence.

Ye Beixuan wondered if these two young men were from some immortal palace and could actually control corpses?
The two children seemed a little angry and said, "Well, what are you doing alone in the mountains so late at night? And you just scared my zombie."

Huh? That's a bit unreasonable. Zombies are always the ones who scare people, never people who scare zombies.
"The road is wide open, each of you should walk on your side. I am walking my way, how do I get in your way?" Ye Beixuan said with a bit of amusement. Although they looked young, their tempers were like those of children, and they had not experienced the harshness of society.

"This is the territory of Goddess Peak. We are invited here to participate in the conquest." Before he could finish his words, another child next to him hurriedly grabbed him and stopped him from speaking.

Goddess Peak? The name sounds like a place full of beauties. Why not go to Tianji Pavilion? It's not bad to be a guest here.

Ye Beixuan didn't want to get entangled with the two naughty children.

So he shouted to the sky: "It's the father's fault for not educating his children. Is this how your elders taught you manners?" "How dare you insult our Mao and Ma families?"

Ye Beixuan felt that since the two children were bringing a zombie in and out of this place, there must be an adult following them, so he wanted to test whether there was anyone else behind the children.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, two figures floated over. Ye Beixuan's pupils shrank. The two people approached silently, which he knew he couldn't do.

As soon as the two appeared, they flashed in front of the child, as if they had beaten the younger one and now the older one was coming.

"Nanjurong Mountain, Mao Family, Mao Fangping greets you. The child was indeed naughty just now. It is my Mao family's fault for not being able to discipline him properly."

"Beichu Maxian, Ma family, Ma Rufeng is here to show his courtesy, please forgive me."

It turns out that they are the two major immortal cultivation families known as the Mao in the South and the Ma in the North. No wonder they have the art of controlling corpses, which is the special technique of the Mao family.

Ye Beixuan was startled. He thought there was only one person, but he didn't expect two of them to come at once. They were naturals and used to big scenes. They didn't learn any other skills, but they learned to remain calm even when the sky was falling.

Although the people from the Nanmao and Beima families were humble and polite, they had actually been secretly wary in their hearts. This person's every move blended into the surroundings, but there was no fluctuation of his aura. He looked like an ordinary person but not like an ordinary person. It seemed that he had already returned to his original nature.

Especially the royal zombie just now. He has long become a spirit, and even ordinary magic weapons and talismans are ineffective against him. He can be calm and fearless against ordinary foundation-building masters, but today, they were frightened by the aura he exuded and dared not approach him. It was really scary.

"I just wanted to see if the child was accompanied by any elders, to see if he had sneaked out secretly. I was afraid something might happen."

While speaking, Ye Beixuan was also secretly on guard. It was not a good time to start a conflict at the moment because the other party was obviously much stronger than him.

"Thank you, sir. The child has just learned the art of controlling corpses and is always curious. These two children are close friends and rivals, and for a moment they wanted to compete with each other, which is why they acted so mischievously."

The two spoke in extremely polite tones, but their actions revealed a sense of caution.

"It's okay. Children are naughty and can be disciplined."

"We have been invited to visit Goddess Peak. I wonder if you are also here as a guest?" Mao Fangping then asked cautiously, "What is your name?"

Being a guest? Yes, I am a guest, but I don’t know if I am allowed to be a guest here.

As they spoke, Ye Beixuan saw that the other party had become respectful again, and it was not appropriate for him to pretend to be hunting with a dead mouse in his arms.

But how could he reveal his real name when he was out in public? So he bowed slightly and said, "My surname is Ye, my given name is Shiluo, and I'm an ordinary storyteller. When I was crossing the sea, a dragon caused trouble, and I ended up here."

Mao Fangping and Ma Rufeng both breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it didn't make things difficult for them, it would be fine.
A storyteller? They naturally wouldn't believe Ye Beixuan's honest words, and they were particularly concerned about the word "dragon" in his words. A few days ago, they suddenly heard thunder and lightning on the sea. Could it be that he was fighting a dragon?
"Since you are here by chance, we would like to take our leave without disturbing you."

Mao Fangping even changed his name, and people already believed that he was the one who went to the sea to kill the dragon.

After saying that, several people prepared to turn around and leave.

"My zombie won't go away"

"Did you cast a spell on purpose to prevent him from leaving?"

Mao Fangping's face changed. There must be a reason why the zombies didn't leave. It was definitely not the work of the person in front of him. Although children speak without restraint, thirteen or fourteen years old is no longer a child's talk. The person in front of him seemed to be amiable, but in fact, there was a hint of murderous aura in him.

"Mao Xiaofei, stop talking nonsense." Mao Fangping shouted sternly.

Ye Beixuan glanced at Ma Rufeng indifferently, and his pupils shrank at the indifferent look. He was immediately confused and prepared to start making seals to perform the Nine-Character Mantra, fearing that he would lose the initiative. Meanwhile, Mao Fangping, who was standing next to him, had already taken out the Money Sword with his left hand behind his back.

The two were masters from the South and North, close friends as well as rivals. However, at this moment, they did not compete with each other at first, but were ready to join forces at the same time. They even felt that they had no confidence in joining forces.
