Zhang Kanwen's words made me feel upset.
Zhang Wenfei and I were close friends.
In my eyes, Zhang Kanwen had always been a big brother. Ever since we met, he had always been by my side, saving me many times and helping me a lot.
After Zhang Wenfei's accident, Zhang Kanwen took care of me as if I was Zhang Wenfei.
But as time passed, especially after Little Wang Li's accident, Zhang Kanwen's energy was almost completely tied up here.
As for me, my cultivation kept increasing under various opportunities. In the end, I caught up to Zhang Kanwen and even far surpassed him.
My cultivation had changed, but my relationship with Zhang Kanwen hadn't.
In his eyes, I was still the little brother that needed to be taken care of.
But he could no longer use his own cultivation to help me, and could only try his best to do something for me through other methods.
I looked at Zhang Kanwen and didn't know what to say. I just nodded and put away the Mystic Yin Ruler.
Fatty had found out the eight words, 'Encountering Yang brings danger, seeking Yin brings protection'. I knew that it couldn't be such a coincidence that Zhang Kanwen had found the Mystic Yin Ruler.
But Zhang Kanwen's thoughts gave me great encouragement, and I was no longer so worried about the Zhuolu trip.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. In the last two days of preparation, Fatty continued to cultivate the Lustful Hand Seal and removed the Heavenly Dao seal in his body. Finally, before we left, he removed 60% of the seal on his cultivation. It was enough to surpass his cultivation when he was in the Glorious Knowledge Realm. This made him extremely excited.
As for me, I used these two days to refine the Mystic Yin Ruler that Zhang Kanwen had given me.
On the morning of the third day, I brought Fatty to Bao An International Airport with Wang Kun and Zhang Kanwen. We boarded the plane to Hebei.
Before boarding the plane, Zhang Kanwen hugged Fatty and me. He didn't say anything, but this simple farewell made me, who was used to seeing farewells, feel sad.
Fatty patted Zhang Kanwen's back and struggled out of his arms. He laughed and said, "Alright, Old Zhang, don't make it look like we're going to die. After Third Baby and I take care of Lu Zhenyang, we'll come back and have a good drink!"
With Fatty's interruption, Zhang Kanwen's expression relaxed a little. He forced a smile and nodded. "Alright, I'll wait for you guys in the store … Go early and come back early!"
After hugging the fatty, Zhang Kanwen's gaze fell on me again. He didn't say anything and just extended his hand to pat my shoulder.
Although Wang Kun didn't know why Fatty and I were here, looking at Zhang Kanwen's expression, he knew that our trip wouldn't be easy.
He had always regarded me as a deity, especially after saving Little Zhang Kanwen so many times. He worshipped me blindly. Now, looking at Zhang Kanwen's appearance, he couldn't help but worry. He looked at the fatty and me, his eyes turning red.
I patted his shoulder and smiled. "What are you doing?
We'll be back soon. We haven't gotten rid of that thing on Wang Li yet.
When Fatty and I come back from Hebei, we'll completely solve Little Wang Li's problem. "
After getting my promise, Wang Kun's expression became much better and he repeatedly said "okay."
At that moment, the radio announced that we were about to board the plane. We said goodbye again and entered the security checkpoint.
Although it was a long way from Shenzhen to Hebei, it only took a few hours on the plane.
After arriving at the Hebei Zhengding International Airport, Fatty and I decided to take a taxi to Tower Village. However, after looking for a few taxi drivers, they all said that they didn't know the place. Fatty and I could only settle for the next best option. We took a taxi to Zhulu County. Only after we arrived at Zhulu County did we find a taxi that could take us to Tower Village.
We had been to Shandong's Jianzhu Mound before, but compared to that place, Zhulu's Chiyou culture was much richer.
On the way to Tower Village, the driver kept introducing Chiyou to me and the fatty. According to them, Chiyou didn't look like the Demon King or the God of War that we knew him to be. Instead, he looked more like a wise leader of a tribe. They even called him, along with Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, the ancestors of China.
Their words were full of admiration.
With my understanding of ancient myths and legends, it wasn't a problem for me to say that. That's why I sat in the back seat and listened. Sometimes, I would say a few words to the driver.
China's culture had a long history. However, with the passage of time, some ancient myths and legends had disappeared in the long river of history and were unknown to the people of today.
An ordinary driver here could tell us all about Chiyou's deeds. From this, it could be seen that the local government had done a good job in protecting and spreading the local culture.
After chatting for a while, the driver suddenly changed the topic and said to us, "You two look like cultured people. Why did you come to Tower Village?
Are you here to pay respects to Chiyou?
If that's the case, you didn't come at the right time.
I suggest you come here every year during the Qingming Festival. During that time, many people come here, including foreigners. It's very lively here. "
I smiled and shook my head. "No, we just came here to have fun. If we can pay our respects to Chiyou, it'll be even better."
After hearing that we weren't here for Chiyou, the driver's enthusiasm faded a little. He nodded and said, "Just to have fun?
That's good. It's the right time to come here.
During this season, the scenery here is very good. A few days ago, many Daoist priests came to Mount Longhu in Jiangxi. They gathered at the Three Pure Temple. They said that they were going to hold a ritual. It's very lively. You didn't make a mistake coming here to have fun. "
Many Daoist priests came to Mount Longhu?
From the relationship between Mount Longhu and Lu Zhenyang, it wasn't strange that the cow-noses of Mount Longhu had come here. However, why did they make such a big fuss and hold a ritual? Even an ordinary person like the driver had heard about it. I guessed they were plotting something.
After pondering for a while, I thought of Chiyou's tomb.
Could it be that those cow-noses also got the news and wanted to go to Chiyou's tomb?
If that was the case, this trip to Zhulu would have more variables. Mount Longhu had always been a tall tree that attracted the wind. If they made a move, countless eyes in the metaphysics world would be watching them. Who knew if they would attract more people?
The situation was getting more complicated. I couldn't help but frown.
After pondering for a long time, I didn't have enough information. I couldn't figure out the situation, so I had to put this matter aside for now.
I lifted my head and looked out the window. It was already late.
Lu Zhenyang had told me that the time was today. In theory, as long as it wasn't past midnight, it would be today. However, it wasn't good to delay it too much. I urged the driver. "How long until we reach Pagoda Village?"
The driver didn't turn his head and said, "Young man, why are you in such a hurry? It should be around half an hour.
Anyway, if you're in a hurry, I'll drive faster. "
Although the other party was Lu Zhenyang, it wasn't good to break a promise. I agreed with him.
Seeing that I agreed, the driver stepped on the gas and the car sped up. He pushed me and the fatty to the back of the seat.
The driver had good driving skills. Even though the car was driving at full speed, it was still very stable. Around ten minutes later, we arrived at our destination.
After we got out of the car, the driver asked for a long time about our return time. He said that he would pick us up at that time.
Although we had a good chat, I didn't know the return time so I tactfully declined.
After watching the driver leave, the fatty lifted his head to look at the village in front of us. He asked me, "Third Baby, where are we going now?"
I looked at the fatty. This was a problem. Lu Zhenyang's message only told us to meet at Pagoda Village today. He didn't tell us where we were going.
Previously, when we were in Zhulu County, I had used a sound transmitting talisman to ask Lu Zhenyang about the situation. However, he didn't reply even after a long time.
The function of a sound transmitting talisman wasn't much different from a text message on a cell phone. After I sent the message, Lu Zhenyang would receive it immediately. However, Lu Zhenyang hadn't replied even after so much time had passed.
Combined with what the driver had said about Mount Longhu, I couldn't help but think that Lu Zhenyang had encountered some trouble.
It wasn't a bad thing for me if Lu Zhenyang was in trouble. However, since the situation was unclear, I had to wait and see.
