Chapter 387: News of the Ruins
Remains of Zhou Generals
Tao Zi and her friend came to a small town near the ruins, where Yan Wenxuan was already waiting for her.
As soon as he saw her coming, he immediately came over and took her to a separate courtyard, complaining, "What bad luck! There are 25 places, and only one was given to me."
Li Xiu glanced at Yan Wenxuan. Was he really not showing off?
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Master Yan doesn't like to go into the ruins for training?"
"The owner of this ruin is a mortal general of the Xuanyue Imperial Family. Whether he can leave behind an opportunity is uncertain, so what's the point of entering here?" Yan Wenxuan said with melancholy, "That damn Imperial Family doesn't treat cultivators well. There might be deadly traps hidden inside."
She jokingly asked, "Then why did you agree to come in? Maybe you drank too much and lost your mind for a while."
He looked at her with even more melancholy. Tao Zi was shocked and said, "Am I right?"
He Yinggui was not far away. Upon hearing this, he walked over and sneered, "The headmaster drank a few sips of fine wine and heard there were ruins to visit, so he just agreed without asking about the contents of the ruins."
He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I never dreamed that there would be such a thing as mortal relics."
He Yinggui said sarcastically, "That only means that the headmaster's brain is in urgent need of medical treatment."
Yan Wenxuan's lips suddenly curled up into a smile. "Deacon He, these ruins are so dangerous, I'm a little worried. Why don't you fulfill my dream before we go in?"
He took a step back and looked at him warily.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to spar with you."
He Yinggui was furious and blurted out, "Don't you beat me often enough?"
"puff!"
When this laughter came out, several people looked over. Li Xiu froze, hiding the smile on the corner of his mouth, coughed, and said seriously: "Sorry, I just remembered something very funny."
He Yinggui looked at him sinisterly. Tao Zi stepped forward and asked, "Deacon He, what can I do for you?"
He retracted his gaze and replied unhappily: "How dare I have any problems."
Yan Wenxuan chuckled and said, "This dog must know how to read people's expressions."
"You bastard, do you really think I don't dare to risk my life with you?"
Just as the two of them were about to fight, a man with a broken arm came over and said, "Deacon, someone is looking for you over there."
He Yinggui gave him a sinister look, made a gesture to the man with the broken arm, and the two men walked away.
Tao Zi looked at Yan Wenxuan and said with a smile, "You're not afraid that he will really do it."
Yan Wenxuan lazily took a sip of his wine and said, "He can't beat me, and I don't need him under my command. If it weren't for the fact that Aunt He from the main peak of Minglan Sect has a connection with him, and if he wasn't your man, I would have killed him long ago."
She couldn't deny it and said, "Why do I feel that you kept him because he is easy to tease?"
He laughed out loud and didn't deny it.
Not long after, the man with the broken arm came over again and said respectfully, "Senior Tao, Chief Master Yan, the deacon invites you over."
Yan Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you don't want us to get lost?"
The man with the broken arm lowered his head and said nothing.
Tao Zi looked at him carefully and said, "I seem to have seen you that day in Cun Xuyuan."
He said respectfully, "Yes, Senior Tao has a good memory."
She frowned and said, "No, I felt you looked familiar when I saw you that day. Have we met before?"
"I once intended to rob Senior Tao, but fortunately, Senior not only spared my life but also gave me some advice."
Yan Wenxuan was amused and said, "He Yinggui really has all kinds of extraordinary people under his command."
Tao Zi still couldn't quite remember, but Li Xiu did. She lowered her voice and reminded him, "That little beggar who brought a bunch of people to rob people and was dressed better than me."
She finally had an impression of him. She glanced at his broken arm and casually asked, "How is your brother?"
The man with the broken arm smiled and said slowly, "I killed him."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Then you can be considered to have vented your anger."
"Yes, and thank you for the reminder, senior."
The group walked towards the house where He Yinggui was.
When he pushed the door open, a cultivator wearing the clothes of the Minglan Sect was standing in front of He Yinggui.
Tao Zi paused, and Yan Wenxuan said with a smile, "Deacon He, who is this?"
He introduced himself succinctly: "He is a servant of a disciple of He Qianyi, the master of Minglan Sect."
She: “…This relationship is really good.”
He Yinggui looked at the servant and said, "Please repeat what you just said."
"Yes." The servant turned around and looked at Tao Zi and his group, saying respectfully, "We've received news about the ruins from the main peak of Minglan Sect. They say there are many wandering ghosts in the ruins."
Li Xiu reacted quickly and asked immediately, "Were you a mortal in your previous life?"
"yes."
Yan Wenxuan frowned and said, "How could it be possible? How could a mortal soul remain immortal for three thousand years?"
Tao Zi's expression changed, and he said, "I heard that there is a mysterious force surrounding the ruins. Is it because of that force?"
Yan Wenxuan asked in confusion, "What power?"
He Yinggui took the opportunity to mock: "This guy becomes a waste once he touches alcohol."
Just as the two men were about to fight again, the man with the broken arm seized the opportunity to speak up, "It is said that that power was left behind by the Taoist priest back then."
Yan Wenxuan's attention was successfully diverted: "Just relying on those Taoist priests?"
He Yinggui scoffed and explained, "Taoists today are nothing like they were back then. From what I know, the imperial preceptors of the Xuanyue Imperial Family were all born into Taoist families. They were considered to be masters of heavenly secrets and were very powerful, not much weaker than immortal cultivators. The only drawback was that they had no chance of becoming immortals in this lifetime, and were forever trapped in this world."
Tao Zi's eyebrows moved, and she asked tentatively, "If there are remains of Zhou generals, are there also remains of the royal family, such as the remains of the national teacher, the remains of the emperor's daughter, the remains of the emperor's concubine, the remains of the prince, and so on?"
Yan Wenxuan still looked indifferent and said, "Come on, for a mortal with that kind of power, it's quite good that a relic has survived until now."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "That's right."
Li Xiu's attention was relatively normal. He asked, "Are there any special features about those wandering ghosts?"
The Minglan Sect servant shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but the masters have sent their spiritual consciousness in many times, so they should have discovered more than just this."
He Yinggui handed him a bag of spirit stones and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Take these as wine money."
"Deacon He, you're too polite."
Although he was being polite, he took the bag without any hesitation.
After the servants left, Tao Zi said, "Master Yan, it seems we need to prepare more ghost-suppressing items."
Yan Wenxuan nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed, I'll go find some ghost cultivators I know, and maybe it would be better if we could act together. But that way, these ruins will become more interesting."
