Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 374 Please take good care of her for me
When they opened their eyes, Lin Jiang and Li Xinguang were already standing in the capital city.

Lin Jiang had told Zhao Liulang that this treasure trove of the ghost market had now been taken over by Zhao Liulang and had become a royal domain.

When Lin Jiang suddenly appeared beside the coffin, he immediately noticed several guards standing in the conference hall.

The sudden appearance of the two startled the guards, who instinctively raised their swords and spears.

But the moment they saw Lin Jiang's face, they immediately put away their weapons and fell silent.

These were all the most loyal imperial guards under Zhao Liulang's command, so they naturally knew some of the secrets of the coffin.

Lin Jiang chose this method to bring back Li Ziguang, rather than using the Guijia method, ultimately because he still harbored deep-seated wariness towards Li Ziguang.

Although he could control the landing point of the outer pills and add the option of "the capital city" to the homecoming, he could never erase its original core function of "returning home".

Moreover, once the pills are out of his hands, they are no longer under his control.

This means that although Li Ziguang could return to the capital after swallowing this pill, he might also return to his hometown.

Even if the probability is low, Lin Jiang still has to be wary of Li Ziguang taking advantage of the opportunity to escape.

"Please inform Your Majesty that I am about to embark on my journey back to the capital with Li Guang."

"Yes, sir!" Several imperial guards responded loudly, and Lin Jiang, along with Li Ziguang, ascended to the top of the mansion.

The house remained the same, only the servants had been replaced.

When the servants saw Lin Jiang, they showed no surprise, but served him with great humility.

After a short while, a carriage quickly arrived, surrounded by numerous soldiers, ready for battle.

Li Ziguang recognized them at a glance as officers from the Ministry of Justice, who had come to escort her to the Ministry.

But at this moment, she showed no signs of tension; instead, a relaxed expression appeared on her face.

The carriage door slowly opened, and an old man stepped down from the carriage. Lin Jiang looked him over carefully and realized that he had never seen the old man's face before.

Don't know him.

The old man had a peaceful expression and a gentle demeanor. Upon seeing Lin Jiang, he immediately bowed in greeting.

"I've met the young master."

"I have never seen you before. May I ask who you are?"

"I am Chen, the new head of the Dali Temple." The old man introduced himself with a smile.

Upon hearing this official title, Lin Jiang blinked slightly:
"Where is Gao Qing?"

"After His Majesty regained his senses, he spoke with Minister Gao. After he came out, Minister Gao was demoted to the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

That's a pretty harsh demotion.

The position of a doctor is not even considered second-in-command.

It is estimated that Zhao Liulang learned of the uproar in the capital at the time, so he found a pretext to demote Gao Xuan.

“Young Master, General Li will be temporarily handled by our Dali Temple.” Chen Qing then added, “I have long heard that you are one of the most outstanding talents in the capital. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary. Would you be interested in having a casual meal at our place? That way, we can get to know each other.”

When Chen Qing took over the Dali Temple, he naturally knew a lot about Lin Jiang. Now, most people in the capital can vaguely sense that Lin Jiang's identity is extraordinary. Although the specific reasons are unknown, it is always good to have in-depth conversations.

Lin Jiang waved his hand and laughed:
"I have some matters to attend to, so I will not keep you company any longer, Mr. Chen. If you have time another day, we can enjoy some fine wine and tea together."

Although he was politely refused, Chen Qing did not change his expression like some of the old men in the city. Instead, he nodded happily, cupped his hands to say goodbye to Lin Jiang, and then left with Li Guang.

Just as they were about to board the carriage, Li Guang suddenly turned to look at Lin Jiang and said, "Please treat her well."

"Since we are companions, we entrust our lives to each other." Lin Jiang did not answer directly, but Li Guang still smiled upon hearing this.

These words carry far greater weight than any sweet talk; they are not vows made under the guise of romance, but a pledge forged from the dust of the earth. This is for the best.

Seemingly at peace with the passing of time, he boarded the train and left without looking back. No more worries remained.

……

Lin Jiang climbed up the well and looked back towards the town, where he noticed that some outsiders had already entered the area.

The townspeople were telling these outsiders about the events of the past year, and many of the outsiders looked surprised.

There are many strange and unusual things happening in this place, but it is rare for an entire town to be involved in such a strange tale.

Although residents are still unable to leave the town normally, life is gradually returning to normal.

After confirming that everything was alright, Lin Jiang looked at the couple's small courtyard again.

He did not go there.

Meeting again will inevitably create unnecessary entanglements.

His companions were waiting for him in the distance; he couldn't keep them waiting.

He left the town directly, following his memories, and headed towards the old battlefield.

He used the Cloud-Stepping Technique on the road, with clouds flowing beneath his feet and his figure moving as swiftly as the wind.

More than half a year has passed since Lin Jiang learned this method. He has not traveled all the roads normally, but as his cultivation deepens, even though his practice is not yet complete, his skills are still improving day by day.

At this moment, the Cloud-Stepping Technique, originally intended for climbing, was being used on the plains at an astonishing speed.

Like a bird riding the wind.

Even so, it would still be quite difficult to reach Buli Town within a day.

As night fell, Lin Jiang arrived at the edge of the old battlefield. He estimated the journey and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would arrive in Buli the following night.

He sought a secluded spot to rest, intending to cultivate himself to endure the cold night, when he suddenly sensed a faint, strange noise emanating from the depths of the palace he was looking into.

After carefully sensing the surroundings, Lin Jiang discovered that the message was sent by the woman from the Great Yin Dynasty on the island. Lin Jiang was slightly surprised.

She didn't contact him often, after all, she was in a situation where she couldn't offer Lin Jiang anything in return. She clearly had pride and didn't want to keep taking, so the number of times she contacted him was naturally infrequent.

Lin Jiang was somewhat surprised when the other party suddenly contacted him.

However, Lin Jiang did not ponder for long. He quickly closed his eyes and moved to the side of the tree.

Upon reaching the tree, he noticed a subtle, unusual expression on the face of the woman from the Great Yin Dynasty, as if she had discovered something peculiar.

"Is there anything you need from me?" Lin Jiang asked.

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's words, Ao Xinchen quickly snapped out of her daze:

"I've met the eldest son."

"No need to be so polite. Is there anything I can help you with? Did you run into trouble while building your house? Or have you run out of food?"

"No, not at all." Ao Xinchen said, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face.

Since arriving on the island, she has become overly reliant on this mysterious gathering.

Initially, she was wary of the rally, thinking it might have ulterior motives, but now it seems that without their help, she would probably not be able to survive here.

If I ever manage to leave in the future, I must repay this kindness properly.

However, she quickly calmed herself down and said:

“I have discovered a palace on this island, located halfway up the mountain. There are obvious signs of human excavation. I plan to gather some supplies and head there in a while, but I am worried that there may be dangers there. I hope that the eldest son can accompany me.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang immediately became interested.

palace!

The palaces built on these remote islands are likely related to the former "celestial beings," now known as the "little golden men."

Moreover, thinking back to the attitude that soul had shown him before, Lin Jiang vaguely felt that the little golden man had probably already laid many hidden dangers for him.

If there were any clues in this regard, he would gladly investigate.

When do you plan to depart?

"I estimate we'll set off in three to five days," Ao Xinchen replied after a moment's thought.

"Just come looking for me then, and I will keep an eye on you."

With Lin Jiang's promise, Ao Xinchen felt much more at ease.

She had personally experienced the life force of the eldest son; its method was as warm as the March sun, capable of washing away fatigue and promoting the growth of all things.

If this young master were to spare even a glance for her, then even if she were to encounter danger later, as long as she did not suffer an instant fatal injury, she could survive.

He thanked her profusely again and promised to repay her kindness after leaving, before finally ending all contact.

Lin Jiang was also quite interested in what the palace contained, but he did not urge Ao Xinchen to ask.

Just then, Lin Jiang keenly sensed that another person had entered the coffin.

Upon closer inspection, his expression subtly changed.

What arrived was...

Jiang dips into the moon.

"How's the house construction going?"

Jiang Jinyue stepped into the room, listened quietly to the conversation between Lin and Jiang for a moment, and then asked this question.

Upon hearing Jiang Jinyue speak, Ao Xinchen immediately perked up:
"Thanks to you, it's almost finished! Now we have a roof to shelter us from the rain, and the surrounding walls are still under construction. I expect it will be completed in a few days. However, some things have come up recently, which has caused some delays."

“Your carpentry tools… well, you don’t have enough, do you? The finished wall is bound to be a bit rough and rough,” Jiang Jinyue kindly reminded her, but her voice carried a hint of weariness. “I don’t know much about your cultivation methods, but if it’s not the kind that strengthens your muscles and bones, you still have to be careful not to get pricked by the rough edges.”

The voice sounded as if all the energy and spirit had been drained away.

"Don't worry, I've practiced kung fu, so I'm pretty tough."

Ao Xinchen said she didn't have any major problems, but after saying that, she paused noticeably.
"Miss Wu Chizi, what happened to you?"

Jiang Jinyue's voice was too obvious at this moment. If she didn't have unresolved pent-up emotions, she would never have sounded so weak and listless.

Lin Jiang even had a vague feeling that the reason Jiang Jinyue came here to speak was perhaps because she was really troubled and couldn't find anyone to confide in.

Lin Jiang himself was far away from the town, and his mind wasn't very sharp, so Yu Wenyun was clearly not someone he could confide in.

Small ginseng...

Although Xiaoshan Shen was left in town by Lin Jiang, Jiang Jinyue probably wouldn't talk to him again anytime soon because he had just exposed many of Jiang Jinyue's embarrassing moments.

Under such circumstances, her stepping into the inner palace was probably a form of relief.

Hearing those words, Ao Xinchen couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly.

After hearing Ao Xinchen's question, Jiang Jinyue clearly fell silent for a moment.

"I..." After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Jinyue finally spoke:
“I have a friend who has recently run into some trouble.”

It was supposed to be a serious conversation, but when Lin Jiang heard the sentence, "I have a friend," he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jiang Jinyue was unaware that Lin Jiang was listening nearby. She simply modified her story with Li Xinguang slightly and then told Ao Xinchen the whole thing.

Ao Xinchen remained silent for a while after hearing these words.

"Actually... I also have a friend, and maybe her situation can be of some help to you."
