Time flew by quickly as he used Stellar Transposition, and in the blink of an eye, ten spring and autumn passed …
Fengzhu Town, a small town in Jiangnan. The scenery was beautiful, the scenery pleasant, the business was developed, and there were streams of people. Even at night, it was bustling and bustling with scenes of singing and dancing.
In the town, there was a hall called "God's Operator". Every day, they would come here to ask about their future and meet up with the diviners. Everyone felt that the fortune-teller was extremely accurate, especially when it came to life and death. Therefore, those rich people became frequent customers here, and the richer they were, the more they cared about their lives.
That night, after the ceremony, an old man dressed as a Daoist was standing in front of the abacus, skilfully fiddling with an abacus. The old man was around fifty years old, with a disease in his right eye. He wore a mask over his eyes, and there was a sarcoma on his left forehead. A pair of small triangular eyes were set under his eyebrows, with a broad lion nose in the middle.
Beside him was a girl around fifteen to sixteen years old dressed up as a small path. This little girl was a perfect beauty: willow leaves, curved eyebrows, round eyes, a small onion, a cherry mouth, they were all matched by a duck's egg face, just like Xi Shi was in this world.
"Aiyo, my daughter, guess how much money dad earned today?" The old man was so happy that his eyes shone.
"Dad, you shouldn't say how much money you've earned, but how much money you've cheated?" The girl casually said as she fiddled with Li Hai-er's forehead.
"Hey!" You little girl, why are you talking to your father? "What do you think Father is going to do with this business?"
"Father, can we change our livelihood? You've been plotting against this damn family for nothing. Tomorrow, this damn family, isn't it more or less the same as killing people to steal their goods? "This money sure is black-hearted." The girl pouted unhappily.
"If you don't do this, what else can you do? Girl, don't tell me you want to go back … Back to the old place? "Don't forget how your mother died." As he spoke to here, the old man couldn't help but shiver. He even stuttered.
"Yeah, I don't want to go back to that scary place. We escaped with so much effort and even lost our mother's life and ran so far away to hide our names for so many years, but dad, we have hands and feet, and we have good health, so we can do some rough work. As long as we work hard, where can't we just eat?" "You have to live every day in fear. Dressed like this and playing tricks, your reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Who knows, maybe one day those people will come to your house and take your life and mine."
"Pfft!" Pui! "Bah!" The old man fiercely spat three times on the ground, "Little girl, are you thinking nonsense? Those people never expected us to hide in such a remote place. We still have a long time to live. With the magic treasure in our hands, we will only have more money in the future."
The old man started to calculate again. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He rolled his eyes for a while and said to himself, "Aiyo, it's time for the grand master of the Zhao Family to go and accept him."
"Humph!" "Dad, you're going to do something bad again! Xian'er hates dad!"
"Actually, father has already thought about it. Even if they come looking for me one day, they definitely wouldn't think that you are my girl. Daddy is so ugly, my daughter is so fascinating, how can father bear to let my precious baby get threatened? Rest assured, even if there is a day like that, Father will first use the Treasure Mirror to store the person's soul. " With that, the old man closed the account book, put away the abacus and walked into the room with a limp. The little girl knew that her father was going to take that mysterious magic treasure again.
"Humph!" We have to do bad things again. " The girl frowned and pouted. "Dad, if I die one day, you're the one who did this wicked thing."
The old man laid under the bed and lifted the third brick, which was in the innermost section of the bed, from the left to the right. A round box was revealed under the brick. He carefully and respectfully took out the round box, but when he heard what the girl said just now, he got up furiously and knocked his head on the side of the bed with a "dong" sound. The old man held his head, grimacing in pain, and replied impatiently: "What are you saying at such a young age? Daddy only killed the bad guys, the corrupt officials who plundered the fat and fat of the people, damn it! "
The old man opened the door and came out of the room. He saw the girl frowning and staring at him with her lips pursed, so he softened his tone and said gently, "Girl, you have been following your father around all these years. Your mother died too early, it must have been hard on you. "Wait for daddy to earn more money. I will buy whatever jewelry you want and whatever beautiful clothes you want to wear. Then, I will dress you up beautifully and walk out on the streets, blinding them all!"
"Hmm, then I really won't be far from death." The girl rolled her eyes at her father.
"Damn girl, why can't I understand what you're saying?" This world is ruled by the law of the jungle. If your father had been strong back then, would your mother have died? Father's leg can be crippled? If he had, he wouldn't have gone to the Nether Demon Palace … Forget it, I've gone too far. I won't say anything more. Father is about to leave. The old man opened the door with the round box in his arms and limped out into the night.
The old man's surname was Li and his name was Han. His daughter's name was Xian'er. Since ten years ago, after the battle at the Horizon Monastery, the Withering Abyss Palace's Palace Master, Bai Xiang, had kept the Yin Yang Mirror of the Heaven and Earth and the Water-Repellent Glass Orb, which he obtained from the Horizon Monastery, under the protection of Shadow Wraith and Li Xiang. One day, when he was out of the palace, he met a pretty village girl. His lust rose, and he forcibly took her back to the palace. Later on, the woman gave birth to a little girl for him, who was Li Xian'er. As time passed, the desire to leave the Withering Abyss Palace became stronger and stronger. He didn't want to live a life of fighting and killing anymore. He wanted to find a place without people and live a peaceful life with his mother and daughter. But after leaving the palace, what skills did he have to support his family? He did not have much talent, so he decided to steal those two magical equipment from the Divine Equipment Pavilion. If he could steal them, he would use them to earn money in the future.
However, stealing artifacts from the Divine Artifact Pavilion wasn't that easy. The Divine Artifact Pavilion had Shadow Wraith guarding it, so it was wishful thinking to try and steal them by himself.
Once, when Li Jianxian was on guard duty, he saw a shadow flash past his window, and he immediately realized that there was someone else who had the same thoughts as him. After judging that person's body, he had roughly guessed that person's identity, so he privately found an opportunity to chat with that person, and the two of them hit it off.
The shadow ghost loved to drink the blood of children and eat their meat, so he kept dragging a child from the village outside the palace. The shadow ghost had not eaten the meat of children for a long time, so it was extremely greedy. That person, who had partnered with Li Jianxian, also brought good wine and good dishes to call the Shadow Wraith. Li Jianxian took this opportunity to slip into the Divine Artifact Pavilion and steal the two treasures. The man saw that Li Jun was getting away with it, so he left in a hurry.
The Shadow Wraith was drunk until it finally regained its senses after an hour had passed. He turned around and saw that the two artifacts on the divine tool rack had both disappeared without a trace. He knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he angrily kicked over the stone table and chased after them like the wind.
Li Jianxue and that person had separated the treasures that he liked in his heart. From then on, they went their separate ways. At this time, the Hundred Poison Meat Devouring Gu was right in front of their eyes, so at least Li Changsheng knew some spells, and was able to get rid of it. However, because he was in a panic, he accidentally slipped and fell down the valley with Xian'er, but the Little Fairy was eaten away by the meat Devouring Gu, and although Li Changsheng managed to escape by luck, he was crippled for life.
He gritted his teeth and swore that even if he had to chase to the ends of the world to get the treasure back, he would cut the person who betrayed the Withering Sword Palace into a thousand pieces. Thus, he sent many people to investigate the location of the treasure, but they were still unable to find anything. However, Yu Xiang was a person who would not give up until he achieved his goal. He was not willing to let his hard-earned treasure be enjoyed by others, so he had never given up on tracking it down.
In the last two years, news of these two treasures had also surfaced, breaking the silence of the past ten years. This time, Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was determined to get his hands on these treasures, so he sent out his most capable general to seize them.
