Chapter 12 First meeting with Tieshan(2/2)
"By the way, foster father, the Taoist priest who introduced me to immortality, Guan, has gone somewhere?"
Lu Changan asked.
Taoist priest Guan was a down-and-out casual cultivator. He was seriously injured a few years ago and fled to the territory of the Nujiang Gang, where he was taken in by Lu Changan.
It was also this person who led Lu Changan into the immortal way.
"After Taoist Master Guan sent you to the Immortal Sect for examination, you stayed in Hengshui Mansion for two months and then left without saying goodbye..."
Qi Jingyun recalled.
"Two months?"
Lu Changan couldn't help but suspect that Taoist Guan might have learned that he failed the sect's examination and lost interest in investing.
The next day, Lu Changan did not stay with the Nujiang Gang.
At the request of his adoptive father, he left behind a copy of the "Open Source Sutra" and drifted away.
This "Open Source Sutra" has no attributes. If a mortal can practice it, it will prove that he has the qualifications to cultivate immortality.
…
"In this life, without family members, there is nothing to worry about in the world."
Lu Changan felt relaxed mentally and physically, stepped on a small boat, and went down the river.
For more than a month, he wandered around the rivers and rivers.
In the dead of night, when everyone is quiet, I meditate on the boat, practice the "Eternal Green Gong of Ancient Trees", and absorb the mysterious spirit of time.
Lu Changan discovered that although it is difficult to improve one's magic power in the secular world, it does not affect the Evergreen Kung Fu's ability to absorb the energy of time.
He took Qi-nourishing pills and combined them with spiritual stones to make up for the gap in his magical power.
Until the time agreed with Li Ergou approaches.
Lu Changan returned to Hengshui Fucheng.
…
In the palace of the prince.
Li Ergou had just arrived half a day ago, and his face looked sad, obviously he had been separated from his relatives not long ago.
In addition to the two of them, there was also an immortal cultivator visiting the house.
"Brother Lu, let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Tieshan, an outer disciple of Jinyun Valley."
Lin Yi welcomed in a young man with a strong build and a slightly dark complexion.
"Zhang Tieshan?"
Lu Changan looked at this young man who was at the third level of Qi Refining and dressed in simple clothes.
I seem to have seen it somewhere, and the name sounds familiar.
"Haha! Zhang Tieshan participated in the sect assessment with us three years ago and ranked first in the third level of the 'Huanxin Platform'. Brother Lu, do you remember?"
Lin Yi laughed heartily.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang. I'm glad to meet you."
Lu Changan thought for a moment and got an impression.
Three years ago, he had just recovered his memory and had never paid attention to who was number one in the Huanxin Platform.
But in the assessment, this person did exist, but his presence was not strong.
This person can win the first place in the "Huanxin Platform", he is definitely not an ordinary person!
"Friend Lu Dao, I have also heard about your deeds."
Zhang Tieshan had a smile on his face and had no airs.
What is the story about yourself in the sect?
Lu Changan didn't need to think about it. It was probably an interesting story about an "older" middle-grade spiritual root who was eliminated in the assessment and had to marry into a cultivating immortal family.
Lu Changan was curious as to why Zhang Tieshan came to the Prince's Mansion.
Zhang Tieshan is not a fairy from Hengshui Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I am looking for you this time for a sect mission..."
After chatting for a while, Zhang Tieshan explained his intention.
"Brother Lu, the danger of that haunted house is not high, but the evil spirit is a bit cunning. Although Fellow Daoist Zhang can defeat it, it is difficult for one person to take it down, so we need our help."
Lin Yi obviously knew the situation and helped to supplement it.
"The evil ghost in the haunted house?" Li Ergou shuddered.
It turned out that Zhang Tieshan accepted a sect mission to exterminate ghosts in a haunted house in Hengshui City.
The owner of that haunted house is a descendant of the immortal cultivator from Jinyun Valley.
After Lu Changan learned about the situation, he felt that the danger was indeed not high.
But I don't want to go.
For one thing, Zhang Tieshan did not explicitly propose a reward. Maybe he was an outer disciple and was already short of money.
Secondly, the ghost does not seem to be strong, but who can be sure that there is no other inside story or trap?
Risks and returns are not proportional.
Although he was willing to get acquainted with Zhang Tieshan, he did not want to take unnecessary risks.
"It's unfortunate that the deadline for us to return to our family is coming up, so we can't delay outside. I disappoint Brother Zhang."
Lu Changan declined politely.
"Yes! We don't have enough time, and my wife is rushing me so hard that I can't go to that haunted house."
Li Ergou responded quickly.
Zhang Tieshan's face moved slightly and he was stunned.
Chapter completed!
