Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 256 Asking for help
The carriage traveled slowly for twelve days.

Lin Jiang's convoy was too long to take shortcuts along the mountain roads, so it had to travel along the main road.

Unfortunately, Lin Jiang originally expected to reach his destination in ten days and nights, but now it will take about fifteen.

Fortunately, the journey was safer than originally planned.

Between the capital and Qingniwa, there are few uninhabited areas, and bandits are almost nowhere to be found; even if there were thieves, they would not easily attack upon seeing this large group.

With a large number of people, bandits dare to rob when there are only four or five people, they only dare to intercept when there are more than ten people, but they dare not attack directly. When there are more than a hundred people, the bandits disappear without a trace.

No one is foolish enough to fight such a large army head-on; it would only lead to their death.

Having encountered no bandits, Xiao Shancan turned his attention to Jiang Jinyue.

While in the capital, she never had time to practice martial arts. Now that Jiang Jinyue is with her, the transformed Little Mountain Ginseng can learn her skills.

Jiang Jinyue has adjusted her mood and is now wholeheartedly teaching Xiaoshan Shen her skills.

The atmosphere was exceptionally peaceful.

As dusk approached, Lin Jiang waved his hand, and the convoy immediately stopped.

The cooks unloaded their cooking utensils, lit a campfire, and began cooking.

The convoy mainly transported food, as food was crucial for the long journey and the migration of over a hundred people.

Many Lanko people disembarked from the carriage with practiced ease, and most went straight to the cook to do their part.

Lin Jiang caught a glimpse of Yana in the crowd, who was acting as a translator, explaining tonight's menu to the locals.

This young girl has matured a lot since then and is much more efficient in handling matters.

Displacement caused her pain, but it also helped her grow up quickly.

After arranging dinner for the night, Yana turned her attention to Lin Jiang.

She immediately straightened her face and bowed respectfully in Lin Jiang's direction.

"How are you?"

"The ruler is very good, Daxing is very good. The people of Daxing gave us a lot of food, told us that we could live in a very big house, and even gave us new clothes. It's very good."

Yana's Daxing language was noticeably less fluent than Old Apa's; she spoke haltingly and struggled to find the right words.

However, seeing that she and Lan Keren were very satisfied, Lin Jiang nodded as well.

This gold was well spent.

"dominate……"

Yana suddenly became flustered, and Lin Jiang could tell at a glance that the girl had something on her mind.

"My Lord, do all the people of Daxing possess those incredibly powerful abilities?"

"No, only a portion of people know how to do it."

"Can...can I learn it?"

"You want to learn?"

Yana nodded vigorously:

"I want to learn. We need capable people, and I want to become a capable person so that I can help the Overlord and help Blue Science. I want to learn."

"What area do you want to study?"

"direction?"

"All things and all methods can flourish, but human strength is limited and cannot encompass everything. Which direction do you wish to specialize in?"

Lin Jiang's question caused Yana to hesitate noticeably.

She stood there pondering for a long time before whispering:

“Back then in Lanko, I saw my family… I wanted to learn the skill that would allow me to see them again.”

The King of Qi's methods!

Lin Jiang couldn't help but think of the complete Great Enlightenment Record in his hands.

He truly has no time to practice this method right now, so he might as well teach it to this girl and let her try it out.

"Okay, come find me later and I'll teach you."

……

When the new moon hangs high in the night sky, the little ginseng lies on the blue stone to absorb the moonlight.

This is her time for cultivation. After the moonlight fades, she will return to the carriage to rest.

Being small has one advantage. For example, Lin Jiang, amidst the weariness of travel, could only find a clean place to rest in the wild, but Xiao Shanshen could lie on the small plank of the carriage. As long as she was given a small handkerchief, she could sleep quite comfortably.

Yana also learned the basic chapters of the Great Record of Enlightenment from Lin Jiang. Although she studied very hard, Lin Jiang could clearly feel that the girl lacked a foundation.

It was quite difficult to learn.

After the evening's lessons ended, Yana left with her notebook. She had specially prepared charcoal pencils to jot down all the questions she had.

As the night deepened, Lin Jiang was about to rest.

But at that moment, they suddenly heard a call coming from the inner hall.

Concentrating my senses, I discovered it was made of sheet metal.

It means closing your eyes and immersing your thoughts in it.

Upon entering the inner palace, he saw a large group of little golden figures gathered together not far away, waving their arms and cheering, seemingly doing nothing.

Subconsciously looking towards the middle of those little golden figures, I saw Liu Fangyue hanging by her neck with a rope, and Luo Li pushing her from behind like a swing.

Lin Jiang: "..." Perhaps we should add some entertainment facilities.

Thinking of Liu Fangyue's quirks, even if she brought her cell phone from her past life, she would probably hang it by her neck with a rope to look at it.

He sighed helplessly and walked into the depths as if ignoring everything.

A moment later, we arrived at the ancient tree under which the coffin was hanging.

The tree remained as it always had, standing quietly in the courtyard, while the dark stars in the sky remained unchanged, as if it had been silent for a long time.

"Tinker, what brings you here?"

"Young Master, you've arrived!"

The tin canopy responded from inside the coffin, and Lin Jiang noticed that the young man looked even more tired than before.

It has been quite a while since we last met.

Lin Jiang was always inexplicably caught up in trivial matters in Beijing, and he really didn't need Tiepizi's help for nothing, so over time they naturally lost contact.

Just as Lin Jiang was about to speak, he suddenly felt the rustling of several coffins beside him.

The figures of Gong Xuan and Jiang Jinyue emerged from the coffin.

Strangely, Lin Jiang noticed that even the empty coffin trembled slightly.

Looking into the coffin, I found it empty.

There are clearly no new faces.

Although doubts remained, it was not convenient to delve into them at this moment. Lin Jiang turned his gaze back and saw that Tiepizi was already exchanging pleasantries with Gongxuan:

"Brother, you drunkard, you left the capital without a word. I haven't even hosted the banquet I owe you yet."

"Hey, there's plenty of time! We can make it up next time we go to the capital."

"Ha! It's a deal."

Seeing how familiar the two were, Lin Jiang couldn't help but feel a little curious:

"Have you met before?"

“Yes, Brother Jiu Mengzi came to the capital a while ago, and we had a couple of drinks together,” Tiepizi replied quickly, then realized his slip of the tongue: “Young Master, is this taboo?”

"If it is not explicitly stated, then there are no taboos."

Lin Jiang didn't care about meeting in private. After all, there were only a few people in the coffin, and three of them were close friends. Why bother making a fuss?
It's just unknown when Tiepizi and Gongxuan got together.

The two had indeed agreed to meet in the capital, but it was unclear when they met. Thinking back, he realized that he had been away from the capital for a long time, and it was likely that Gongxuan had taken advantage of this time to find a way to contact him.

Seeing that the eldest son did not reprimand him, Tiepizi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you both from the capital?" Jiang Jinyue, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Indeed." Tin Man's spirits lifted immediately upon hearing the newcomer's question. "Could it be that you, young lady, are also one?"

“…No, not at all.” She murmured softly, remaining silent for a moment before saying, “In a few days, I may need to ask you to inquire about some matters in the capital.”

"No problem! Just don't do anything against public order."

"Of course."

After speaking with Jiang Jinyue, Tiepizi's voice suddenly turned serious:

"I have a favor to ask of you, Brother Jiu Mengzi."

"Ask me?"

"Exactly. Didn't you say the other day that you were going to Qingniwa again?"

"That's right, but is there something that needs to be taken care of there?"

"That's exactly right." Tin Man sighed deeply and explained the reason:

His close friend Bu Suanzi, who had saved his life in the past, suddenly sent an urgent message last night through the secret treasure of the Casting Bureau. However, the treasure's power was limited, and he could only hastily send back the four words "Emergency Rescue, Beizhen" before disappearing without a trace.

Ironhide was extremely anxious, but the day before yesterday, the Grand General rejected the Imperial Advisor's request to come to the capital. The Imperial Advisor wanted to visit him in person, but the city was in a state of panic, and he could not leave the city at this moment.

They had no choice but to ask Gongxuan to take a look, using the coffin as a pretext.

"If Brother Jiu Mengzi is willing to help, Zhu Nian Si will have a treasure to offer."

"It's no trouble at all. I'll go check it out first, and we'll see if anything changes."

"Thank you, Brother Jiu Mengzi."

After saying that, Tin Man hung up the phone with a worried expression.

Lin Jiang clearly sensed that the young man was distracted, but no matter how fast they sped, they would not arrive near Qingniwa until the day after tomorrow.

I hope everything will be alright.

Silence fell on the other end of the tin can. Jiang Jinyue also remained silent. Seeing that no one was saying anything, Lin Jiang simply cut off the communication.

Once everything was quiet, Lin Jiang turned his gaze to the empty coffin.

A strange feeling still lingered in his mind, as if someone was quietly caressing the surface of the coffin.

Very weird.

After examining the palace closely for a while, finding nothing amiss, Lin Jiang had no choice but to give up and turn away to look inside.

Just as Lin Jiang left, a slight tremor suddenly came from the bottom of the coffin.

Like the wind sweeping across the beach, stirring up a few ripples.
