Chapter 148 Jiang Family
Two days later, Li Xuan and Chen Asi arrived. They each rode a horse and stopped outside the scorched woods in silence.

Chen Asi jumped off the horse and stretched his hips. He had just learned to ride a horse, and no matter how he changed his posture, he always felt like his hips were about to be thrown apart by the horse's back.

He said, "Strange, was this forest burned by a wildfire? It's so black."

Although I haven't been back for two years, the terrain around Fukang County hasn't changed much. Just cross this forest and walk another ten miles to reach Dafangbo Village in Fukang County.

Li Xuan rode his horse forward a few meters, pulled out a talisman and waved it in the air; the head of the talisman quickly turned black.

Having followed them for over four months, Chen Asi had gained some experience and knew it wasn't a good thing, so he asked, "Master, is there something unclean here...?"

Li Xuan searched his memory for movie clips, combining the scene before him with the one where the Maoshan sect leader fought the zombie general.

Smoke was still rising slightly from the woods; the fire must have started in the last couple of days.

He said, "Is there a general's tomb here?"

Chen Asi looked somewhat bewildered: "There are quite a few tombs, but I've never heard of a general's tomb."

Li Xuan understood that the general's tomb must be new. Due to the "magnetic field" setting, the general's body was buried in an extremely yin "feng shui position," which is why it quickly became a flying zombie.

He looked at Chen Asi and said, "There's danger in this forest, stay close."

Without saying a word, Chen Asi mounted his horse and gripped the reins tightly with both hands.

Soon the two arrived at the general's tomb. To be honest, it was rather simple, lacking the legendary burial chamber, carved dragons and phoenixes, or tomb guardian beasts. There was only a standing tombstone and a large, dug pit containing a faded coffin; nothing else...

The fire spread from deep within the forest, and the path of the fire was visible.

The two saw many tombs along the way. Although the tombs were filled with a gloomy atmosphere, they were far from becoming zombies. However, in order to avoid leaving any hidden dangers for the surrounding people, they decided to leave them.

Li Xuan, holding a Miao sword, stood atop the tomb. With a single thrust, he pierced through the soil, into the coffin, and into the corpse. He activated the Eastern Peak Thunder Technique, and arcs of electricity followed the blade, burning the corpse's internal organs. The yin energy dissipated, and the body turned into an ordinary corpse, which would completely decompose into bones in a few days.

He made a new discovery.

As he used the Miao sword more frequently, the blade became increasingly bright and sharp. He tried chopping down a tree; two strokes were enough to cut through a tree as thick as a bowl, without the blade showing the slightest damage.

If we keep using it, this tree can be easily destroyed with a single cut...

We walked another ten miles after leaving the woods.

The road gradually became paved with stones, and a stone archway came into view, with the five large characters "Da Fangbo Village" inscribed on it...

After more than four months, we finally arrived at our destination.

Li Xuan inwardly cursed, "Why didn't they just drop the mission directly to its destination from the start? Why did they have to drop it so far? Although we've experienced a lot along the way, this is just too far..."

He plans to try to put a motorcycle, some gasoline, and repair tools into the purple-red gourd after returning to the real world.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Chen Asi felt a little apprehensive even though he was back.

He was afraid that if he didn't do well, he would embarrass his mother.

Just then, seeing people bustling about at the entrance of the mansion ahead, he exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on? Why is the red cloth at Master Jiang's door being changed to white? Is it a happy occasion or a funeral?" Li Xuan led his horse over and saw the mansion ahead, with the words "Jiang Mansion" hanging on it. So this was Master Jiang's mansion. It was very grand in appearance, at least a three-courtyard, three-exit structure.

However, the house's paint color was rather dark, giving people a sense of oppression.

He recognized the people busy in front of the mansion as characters from the drama: the Ninth Steward standing there pointing out the situation, Lei and Feng changing the cloth. Feng was the widest of the four disciples, but he also had the best relationship with Mao Qing.

The Ninth Steward was enjoying the thrill of commanding his servants when he glanced over and saw Li Xuan and Chen Asi coming from outside the village.

He raised his finger, glancing past Li Xuan in his shirt, and pointed at Chen Asi, chuckling, "Hey, isn't this Asi, the old guy's apprentice at the coffin shop? I haven't seen you for two years, and you're back wearing new clothes. What, were you making a living by robbing or swindling outside?"

In the movie, the Ninth Butler harbors ulterior motives and secretly colludes with the bandit leader Tang Long to try and steal Master Jiang's gold.

In order to successfully marry Tang Long's sister, Tang Shanshan, into the Jiang family as an informant to find the whereabouts of the gold, they went so far as to release venomous snakes, which bit and killed the brides that the young master Jiang married several times. However, when they married Tang Shanshan, the venomous snake bit the wrong person and killed the young master of the Jiang family instead...

After being separated from his master, Feng Lei Yu Dian sneaked into the Jiang family as a long-term worker in order to find a place to stay.

The white cloth hanging at the mansion at this time was probably for the young master of the Jiang family.

In the movie, Butler Jiu is a man who changes his tune with the wind and bullies the weak while fearing the strong. Although he gets his just deserts, he is bitten to death by a poisonous snake when he finds Master Jiang's gold.

But he had killed several people, so this way of dying was too easy.

Li Xuan silently looked at the old face of the Ninth Steward, pondering whether the underworld existed in this world. If the underworld did not exist, then he would try the Fengdu Treasure Guiding Seal to see if he could drag the Ninth Steward's soul into Fengdu Hell!

Butler Jiu never expected that this young man, whom he was meeting for the first time, had even made arrangements for his funeral.

Two years ago, Chen Asi might have been afraid of Butler Jiu, but now that he has been with Li Xuan for a few months, he has broadened his horizons and his courage has naturally increased!
He snorted coldly: "Ninth Steward, I, Chen Asi, have walked an upright and righteous path. Don't spout nonsense!"

The Ninth Butler scoffed, saying, "How terrifying! You've become so bold after just two years out there! You dare to challenge me? Believe me, I can make you disappear from Fukang County with just a word..."

Li Xuan gave Chen Asi the dignity of being reborn as a human being.

Chen Asi had to protect this dignity. He placed his right hand on the broadsword at his waist and said in a deep voice, "Ninth Steward, do you think you can control everything in Dafangbo Village? Let me tell you, no matter how arrogant you are, a person only has one life. If anything happens to my family, I will cut your neck!"

Words filled with murderous intent are as if a knife were truly held to one's throat.

Butler Jiu took a few steps back, looked at Lei Hefeng standing at the door, and scolded, "What are you looking at? Are you just going to watch me being bullied by a lowly commoner? Did the master pay you to come and watch a show?"

Lei and Feng exchanged a glance.

They didn't move.

The Ninth Butler, seething with resentment, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, remember it!"

He finished speaking and tried to close the door, but the door got stuck.

It turned out that Li Xuan had reached out and pressed down on the door. He handed the horse to Chen Asi and said, "Inform Master Jiang that Li Che, a wandering swordsman, has come to visit."
