A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 65 The Chase (!)

After seeing off Li Delong and his son, Li Weizhou did not return to his room to rest, but instead left the city and went to Zhuangziwu Fort.

But he didn't stay long and soon rode away again, returning to the city in full view of everyone. He even went to Zuixianlou and ate hot pot by himself.

Then we went to Zuixianglou and ordered two male prostitutes to listen to music and watch dances...

After drinking a pot of wine alone, he staggered a bit as he boarded the carriage, and in the pitch black, the carriage drove home...

……

The hour of Chou (丑时) is around 2 a.m.

When the winter nights in the north are extremely cold.

On the official road, a strange figure moved with incredible speed...

This "person" had a head full of wildly flying hair, and her head seemed to be severed, twisting wildly. Most terrifyingly, she also had a pair of eyes that glowed with a red light...

He wore a wide white robe, especially the hem, which covered a large area of ​​the ground.

Patches of blood stained the ground, starkly visible under the moonlight.

Strangely, this robe didn't even flutter in the wind...

Because the grassland horse market is about to open, many caravans are heading this way, and there are still caravans on the road.

However, it was impossible to travel at night, so most people camped on both sides of the official road to avoid the wind and cold and wait for dawn.

The horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods were arranged in a circle around the outside, while the horses, bodyguards, servants, and the owner were inside. This arrangement not only provided shelter from the wind and cold but also ensured a certain level of security in case of trouble.

Even defecating and urinating had to be done near the horses; they were not allowed to go outside.

Of course, guards would still be assigned to stand watch on the cargo wagons, just in case.

As a result, tonight, more than one caravan's guards witnessed a terrifying scene that would haunt their nightmares for the rest of their lives.

A terrifying female ghost, moving with lightning speed, flew away along the official road, heading east...

Screams, cries of pain from falling and crashing to the ground, and angry curses occasionally pierced the night sky...

……

Horses can travel at speeds of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour, while bicycles, if physically fit, can travel at roughly the same speed per hour.

However, horses cannot sustain a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. They need extensive rest after a short sprint, so their speed is usually around 30 kilometers per hour.

Logically speaking, bicycles should also be included.

But this is not a normal world. With the immense strength of the four martial artists, which is thousands of pounds, and with Li Weizhou being constantly nourished by "nectar", he doesn't have to worry about exhaustion at all. So the mountain bike he's riding is even faster than a motorcycle.

The woman was covered by a Halloween ghost made of wire, which was also ordered from Yiwu.

The wide, blood-stained white dress was also secured with thick steel wire, covering the entire bicycle, and the rider had to carry the weight.

The effect was quite good. If Li Weizhou himself saw such a thing floating in the middle of the night in the wilderness, he would also be scared half to death.

But he didn't have time to think about all that right now; he was just focused on pedaling his bicycle, eager to bring warmth to his newly acquainted good brothers!
……

"Xu~~"

The five eunuchs from the Prince of Jin's residence did not run very fast, as the northern region was already cold in winter, let alone at night.

Riding a horse against the wind, the cold air feels even more like knives and needles.

Unless it is an extremely urgent matter, even a martial artist of the sixth level would not choose to travel at night in the dead of winter.

Humans can endure it, but horses cannot.

In cold weather, the joint fluid in horses becomes very thick, which can increase the burden on the joints and cause injury during long runs.

Therefore, the five people could only run for a while and then rest for a while.

The young eunuch reined in his horse, hissed, and asked the head eunuch, "Godfather, do you think that boy was telling the truth or lying?"

The head eunuch did not reply immediately. When he reined in his horse, the horse's head was already turned south, and his narrow eyes were staring straight at the direction of the Dayuan Mountains in the south.

A eunuch beside him chuckled and said, "Whether it's true or not, he's an interesting person with quite a bold spirit."

Another person said, "For someone from such a rough and uncivilized place to have such courage and magnanimity is truly remarkable. If we transfer him to work in Jinzhou, he will probably never lack money in the future."

Another person chimed in with a laugh, "That's very generous."

The head eunuch suddenly said, "If Qian Jintang hadn't entered Dayuan Mountain, he would have certainly died at this man's hands."

Everyone was astonished. The young eunuch asked in bewilderment, "Godfather, him? Qian Jintang has passed the Upper Three Gates. How could this greenhorn, who doesn't even know martial arts, possibly succeed?"

A middle-aged eunuch standing nearby also found it impossible, saying, "Eunuch Liu, you always have a keen eye for people, but I still don't understand why you would think that?"

The head eunuch glanced again toward the Dayuan Mountains. Under the moonlight, the distant Dayuan Mountains resembled a long, endless dragon lying there. After a while, he slowly said, "Apart from Xiao Anzi, you have all been through quite a lot. Didn't you realize anything? Even if you didn't realize it then, you should have figured it out by now."

A middle-aged eunuch, who looked second only to the head eunuch in age, suddenly realized something and said, "Now that you mention it, it's true... Hey, this kid has some nerve, he doesn't take us men seriously at all."

Once the words were spoken, the others realized what was going on. Another middle-aged eunuch sneered, "Indeed, laughing and joking from beginning to end, what a little rascal! We men have really lost face today. We've been blinded by treasures and gold, treated like dogs being walked, and we're even calling a country bumpkin 'brother'!"

Even the youngest eunuch's face turned fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I guarantee he has some good stuff in his hands!!" The head eunuch finally glanced at him and said, "Yes, among these treasures, there might be a rare item that can help you conquer the three passes."

The crowd's expressions changed abruptly, and after a long silence, greed was barely concealed in their eyes. A middle-aged eunuch whispered, "The casualties in the Imperial Execution Division are not low. Li Silang may not live much longer. At that time..."

The head eunuch nodded slightly and said, "That kid is right about one thing: this is Yongzhou, and our Prince's Mansion has more influence here. We'll figure it out later; we'll find a way to make him wish he were dead!"

The others laughed excitedly, and the youngest one even felt the urge to urinate, so he dismounted, walked a short distance away, took off his pants, and squatted down...

But as soon as he squatted down, he felt a noise on the official road behind him. He turned his head and was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin: "My God!"

With a sudden burst of strength, he tripped over his pants, stumbled, and his pants ripped open. He didn't care anymore and ran wildly to find his godfather…

Because a disheveled female ghost, covered in blood, was floating towards him.

The other four had naturally seen it as well, and their eyes widened in fury:

What kind of beast is this?!

That's pretty monstrous; it can even generate the laughter of female ghosts.

Just then, the moon was blocked by a dark cloud, and the blood-red female ghost stared coldly at them, emitting a series of chilling ghostly screams.

Incidentally, they also tossed two "stone lumps" smaller than apples into the air above them...

It's hilarious! A dignified female ghost actually throws stones at people! The head eunuch didn't even need to lift a finger. One of the eunuchs next to him leaped off his horse, let out a "hey," and without any movement, the sword at his side turned into a cold light and slashed heavily at the "stone"!
It seems like this is a way of venting one's inner fears...

The other four people kept one eye on the female ghost, wary of any movement she might make, and the other eye on the two small stones, worried that something was amiss.

In short, all five people's faces were tilted upwards at a 35-degree angle...

"boom!"

"boom!"

With two loud bangs, the two bursts of fire erupted into one, illuminating the horrified expressions on the faces of the five eunuchs.

They all clearly wanted to dodge, but it was too late...

The "female ghost" was getting restless. She rode her bicycle a little closer, but not too close, and pulled out a UMP45 submachine gun. Using three-dollar bullets, she gave a friendly greeting to the five newly recruited brothers who had fallen to the ground and were still twitching slightly:
"Da da da!"

"Da da da da da!"

Once the five men started smoking, Li Weizhou threw his ghostly equipment and bicycle back into the villa, then threw the five men and the dead horse back as well, hiding them by the roadside. He planned to come back as soon as the villa had drained the blood.

The body on Daqian's side has never been touched by a single drop of human blood.

After all, this place possesses extraordinary power, and he was worried that people would notice something amiss.

Although it's unclear whether doing this will actually work, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Five martial artists who had passed the middle three levels, two of whom were even at the sixth level, and the leading eunuch was probably just one step away from passing the upper three levels, lacking only a bit of luck.

Although this stroke of luck may never come again in a lifetime, the blood energy is quite good, and it is estimated that a lot of top-grade medicines have been accumulated.

This allowed Li Weizhou to break through from twenty-four apertures to twenty-seven apertures.

The energy contributed by the five people broke through three major acupoints.

Previously, Qian Jintang's contribution, despite his low health, had helped him break through six acupoints.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that his body has become stronger after breaking through the middle three gates, making it increasingly difficult to open his acupoints.

However, Li Weizhou was already quite satisfied. Nowadays, it takes longer and longer to open one acupoint, and it takes about a month to open three acupoints.

This one-month period means missing out on a month of elixirs made from countless pigs' blood.

The amount produced this month is estimated to be close to ten million liters of pig's blood...

We must once again express our gratitude for the era of large-scale industrialized farming, which allows our country to produce more than 700 million pigs and 7 billion liters of pig blood annually.

In addition, the output of slaughterhouses for cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks exceeds 12 billion liters of livestock blood annually.

A large portion of it is wasted and seriously pollutes the environment... (Those who live within two kilometers of a slaughterhouse should understand this all too well).

Therefore, these millions of liters of blood have also made a great contribution to environmental protection.

Therefore, these five people deserve even more credit...

The question is whether these five eunuchs, now dead and missing, can clear him of suspicion.

After all, so many people have witnessed their friendship; it can't be faked, can it?

Moreover, they all disappeared outside the city, just like Qian Jintang, which seems to be the work of a mysterious force... Anyone with a brain shouldn't doubt him.

Furthermore, I hope that the fourth prince will step up his game and bring the princess back to help out.

Even the Prince of Jin's mansion should be reasonable, shouldn't it?

Li Weizhou thought this so naively...
