Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 130 Help Me Kill Someone
King Qi laughed heartily, his gaze fixed on Lin Jiang. The latter pondered for a moment, then also laughed.

The two laughed at each other, and the laughter made Jiang Jinyue turn her head to look at them. Even Xiaoshan Shen, who was playing with rice, trembled and shrank into a ball.

The ginseng shrank.

Scared.

When the laughter abruptly ceased, King Qi composed himself and became serious.

Lin Jiang met the gaze calmly:

"I do not know."

"You really don't know?"

Lin Jiang nodded.

How would he know?

He still has no idea where this large coffin-like structure on his body came from, what power it possesses, or what its connection is to this place.

"What a pity," King Qi sighed. "This question is invalid, so the right to ask it is not yours."

Lin Jiang had no objection to this.

"The third question," King Qi asked, "which family, the Jiang or the Tian, ​​is more powerful in the world today?"

"There must be quite a few people with the surnames Jiang and Tian, ​​right? These are both considered common surnames."

Lin Jiang didn't understand, but Jiang Jinyue understood what the Prince of Qi meant. She nudged Lin Jiang again and said:
"The royal family of Qi has gone through the changes of the Jiang and Tian surnames."

Lin Jiang then understood what King Qi meant.

This is a question directed at one's own descendants.

Can……

What was the surname of the King of Qi?
The change of surname in Qi is probably not a peaceful evolution. Lin Jiang doesn't know which surname came first and which came later, nor does he know the King of Qi's position. He feels that the risk of this question is no less than that of the first question.

The pressure fell on Jiang Jinyue again.

Jiang Jinyue closed her eyes and pondered, seemingly considering how to answer this question.

This time, she remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Jiang Jinyue finally let out a long sigh:
"The Tian family line does indeed have some descendants, but this particular branch has been severed."

The King of Qi still had a smile on his face:

"How did it break?"

"The descendants of the Jiang family obtained the medicinal techniques of the four Qi families and the Hundred Gardens. They used the techniques for treating diseases and disasters to secretly harm the Tian family."

The King of Qi's smile faded and gradually disappeared.

silence.

King Qi was no longer throwing a tantrum like before, nor was he laughing loudly at Lin Jiang like he had just done. It was as if he had regained his senses in an instant.

He sat sideways on the stone chair, placed his hands on the braids that had fallen to his chin, and gently lifted them up, so that the two braids went directly to the back of his head.

He rested his chin on his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Jiang was also slightly startled.

Qi Sixing's Medicine and Disease Treatment Techniques!

Of course he'd seen this before!

Was it the sick pageboy who used the methods described here to try to harm Cangsong Hanbai, or did he beat the pageboy to death?

Even the flower recorded in the medicine and disease manual was inside Lin Jiang's stomach.

After a long silence, King Qi finally let out a long sigh:
"Sigh, it's all fate."

There seemed to be no sign of him going crazy.

After this sigh, King Qi turned to look at Lin Jiang:

"You've been to the Hundred Flowers Garden, haven't you?"

"Huh? I've never been there." Lin Jiang shook his head.

“But you must have eaten flowers from the Hundred Flowers Garden,” King Qi said. “I can smell it.”

Lin Jiang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Can you find that guy surnamed Jiang? Help me kill him, and I'll give you the treasure."

The King of Qi reached into his robes and pulled out a small booklet:

"This is the 'Great Book of Enlightenment,' which is what I have learned in my life. If you can master it, you can communicate with the underworld, revive the dead, and use the three treasures of the soul. If you help me kill that guy surnamed Jiang, I will give you this book."

“But I don’t know where that person is.” Lin Jiang was in a dilemma: “You’re asking me to kill someone I don’t know where I am? That’s a lot of trouble.”

“Your breath smells of Jiang’s flowers. Even if you don’t kill that Jiang family member, he’ll probably come after you. Their family has a history of holding grudges.” King Qi said, “Just tell me, do you want to kill him?”

Lin Jiang thought about the pageboy, recalling how he had almost caused a plague to spread among the pine trees, and also about the young lady he had mentioned who was obsessed with him.

"I want to kill."

"That's fine."

With a tearing sound, King Qi tore the "Great Record of the Great Awakening" in two, and presented one half to Lin Jiang, who subconsciously reached out and took it.

"If you can kill that Jiang woman, I'll give you the other half."

Then King Qi looked at Jiang Jinyue and asked, "Do you want to kill that Jiang woman?"

"The Hundred Gardens technique is a method of pointing stars, and its location is unknown. It contains thousands of poisons and diseases that I cannot deal with. If I were to encounter it, I fear I would not survive. I am not as capable as him, so I will not take this job."

Jiang Jinyue was very sincere.

"It just so happens that I don't have any treasures to give you either. I'll just give them to you as a gift."

After saying this, the King of Qi continued to ask:

"You just answered another question I had. Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?"

Jiang Jinyue pondered for a moment:
"I have heard that there is a mysterious treasure at the end of the lost ship that can see past and present lives. I wonder if I may borrow this treasure?"

"Can we ask another question?" King Qi said bluntly, "I do have this treasure, but it can only be used by the dead. Unless you die, I can't give it to you."

Jiang Jinyue's face clearly showed regret:

"I don't know what I want to ask right now. Young Master Zhu, do you have a question?"

Lin Jiang shook his head.

He did not intend to ask the King of Qi about the coffin.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the little ginseng that was playing with rice next to them.

The grains of rice in Xiaoshanshen's palm were shifting and changing shape, being kneaded into a wriggling ball.

After seeing the look in their eyes, Xiaoshan Shen was stunned for a moment.

"Me?" Little Ginseng blinked. "Do you know a painter? She seems to be at the Star Pointing Realm as well. She's a very beautiful woman. When she passes by a river, the river makes way for her; when she walks beside a tree, the tree bends down. I'm looking for her." After asking this, Little Ginseng didn't show any expectant expression.

Although she had been daydreaming, she wasn't stupid; she could roughly tell that the strange human in front of her wasn't from this era.

The likelihood of the painter recognizing his own calligraphy and painting is probably low.

To everyone's surprise, King Qi nodded after hearing this:

“I know her, Ye Wanzhuang. Her Taoist magic is as beautiful as my own.”

"really?!"

Little Ginseng immediately threw the rice ball aside, her eyes widening, and the entire ginseng seemed to perk up with excitement:

"Ah! I found her! Ye Wanzhuang! Ye Wanzhuang, I'll remember that name!"

Then he looked excitedly at King Qi:
Where is she now? Where can I see her?

"She is dead," said the King of Qi. "She was trampled into mincemeat by the war monster Lü Shan and his iron cavalry during the war between the states."

"what?"

The ginseng plant froze, unable to move for most of the day.

King Qi ignored the ginseng and stretched with great satisfaction:

"I feel relieved. I've asked you everything I wanted to ask. Judging by the time, you should be awake by now. If you want to see me again next time, just go find the Lost Boat. Once you're on board, tell the boatman that you want to come to River Valley, and he'll take you directly there."

"Etc., etc!"

Xiaoshan Shen suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to call King Qi, but she immediately found that everything around her seemed like smoke and bubbles.

A ray of sunlight fell on the car window, and Lin Jiang opened his eyes.

He woke up.

The chirping of morning birds could be heard nearby, and the snoring of Chen Dajiang and Gong Xuan could still be heard at the carriage door.

The two of them slept on makeshift beds. Before, Chen Dajiang used dry grass and a special mat, but after acquiring Gongxuan, they used a specially made paper quilt, which was quite comfortable.

Lin Jiang snapped out of his reverie and subconsciously looked at the small ginseng he had placed on the bedside table.

Suddenly, the ginseng, which had seemed dead, sat up abruptly.

She stared intently at the empty carriage, then turned her head and stared blankly at Lin Jiang.

"Lin Jiang".

"I'm here."

"I had a dream."

"Me too."

"I...I feel a little unwell."

The leaves of the ginseng plant withered.

Lin Jiang thought for a moment, then reached out and placed the small ginseng in his palm.

Little Ginseng didn't struggle; she just curled up into a ball, her eyes losing their luster.

"I don't really know what happened. I just wanted to find her and thank her..."

Her voice was very soft.

"Maybe you can still find her."

Lin Jiangdao.

"Really?"

Xiao Shanshen then raised his head, and Lin Jiang could see that the two small eyes drawn on the wall actually looked as if they were filled with tears.

"Think about it, before, King Qi said that Ye Wanzhuang's skills were about the same as his. King Qi was killed, and she was killed too, but isn't King Qi still alive and kicking, telling us stories?"

"It seems so." The little ginseng rubbed its eyes with its roots.

"Although Dianxing is dead, her principles remain. Besides, we now know her name, so finding her will only be easier."

"Ah."

Xiao Shanshen then readjusted his emotions.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the car door. When Lin Jiang opened the door, he found Jiang Jinyue standing in the dim morning light, with frost rolling on the outside of her mandarin jacket.

Jiang Jinyue looked around:
Are you dreaming?

"I was dreaming."

"Let's go somewhere quiet."

"it is good."

Lin Jiang got out of the car with the small ginseng.

The two walked through the thin mist to the place where they had practiced their skills the day before.

After confirming that no one was around, Jiang Jinyue asked:

What do you think of that King Qi?

"At least he's still quite trustworthy." Lin Jiang reached into his pocket and took out the half-book of "Da Fan Lu": "He really gave me this thing."

"It's best to be careful. That person may seem crazy, but he probably has a lot on his mind."

"That's natural."

Putting aside the fact that King Qi knew about the "coffin," his own question and answer were actually quite subtle.

First, he deliberately mentioned the "Eighty-One Sects," which are now almost impossible for anyone to know about, in order to talk about the sects of cultivation. Then, he mentioned that Lin Jiang had the smell of Jiang's flowers. The whole process sounded like he had come specifically to find Lin Jiang and his group.

"In short, be extra careful."

"Same."

After finishing her conversation, Jiang Jinyue returned to her carriage to process the information she had received that day.

Lin Jiang watched Jiang Jinyue's retreating figure.

The other party did not mention the "dead person" at all.

It's obvious they intend to keep this matter to themselves.

Lin Jiang was willing to make a good relationship with the double agent of the Six Doors' Zhenping Division, so he simply let the matter drop.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Jiang returned to the carriage.

He had long since lost his sleepiness, so he took out the half of the "Great Book of Enlightenment".

What exactly is included in King Qi's method?

P.S.: This has been corrected. The stupid writer's assistant had a bug; it didn't publish according to time, but rather according to the order of clicks.
