Chapter 457: The Wanshi King has fled
The Right Dan Slave was indeed very happy to confess.
In the next half day, he told the story of his mother and Uncle Wang next door, the story of his father and Widow Liu in the village, the story of his eldest brother and eldest cousin, the recipe of the Creation Pill, the story of him and his master's 308th concubine, the story of him and Zuo Dannu's wife... In short, he recounted all these shameful things.
"Wait..." Wang Longqi raised his hand, "Is there something strange mixed in?"
"Yes." Lao Du nodded earnestly, "How could you have an affair with the woman that Master chose? I can accept everything else, but I cannot accept this. It is simply against human ethics and worse than beasts."
After saying that, he gave Li Chu a flattering look. The general meaning of his eyes was, Master, you see how upright I am, this kind of thing will never happen to me.
Li Chu ignored him.
He also believed that this kind of thing would not happen to Lao Du.
Seeing that his flattery was fruitless, Lao Du turned his eyes back angrily and said to You Dannu: "You should explain the key points of this in detail."
"That's right, let's talk about the main point..." Wang Longqi also said, "For example, your father had an affair with Widow Liu. You said your mother kept a close watch on him. How did he do it?"
"Yes." Lao Du nodded to indicate that he also wanted to hear the key points.
"My mother always keeps a close eye on my father. She locks the front and back doors at night, and keeps two keys, one tied to her waistband and the other in her mouth..."
"But my father still often went out after she fell asleep. I didn't know it at first. It was only later that I found a purse dropped into the dog hole where I often played. My father's purse happened to be lost. Then I knew that he went out through the dog hole every day. One night, I was curious, so I secretly followed my father after he went out, and found that he went to the home of Widow Liu in the village. I squatted under the wall and took a peek, and saw the two of them in the house..."
"Okay, now comes the paid content."
Seeing that Li Chu seemed a little unhappy, Lao Du quickly raised his hand to stop You Dannu from continuing.
Li Chu said: "The Creation Pill has caused endless harm, but the antidote previously developed by Xuanhu Weng cannot be mass-produced. I think it would be better to send him to Yaowang Town to develop a better way to curb the Creation Pill."
Once the big boss speaks, the rest of the people who cling to him naturally have no objection. They have nothing else to say except support, agreement, and yes.
Li Chu took Youdan Nu and flew all the way to Yaowang Town on his sword. Even though Youdan Nu had a strong cultivation base, he was half dead when he landed.
Li Chu's sword-riding speed is now so fast that even cultivators can hardly bear it.
Changchun Sou was treating a patient in the medicine room. When he heard that Li Chu had arrived, he immediately came out to greet him in person.
It was not only because of the friendship that Li Chu had saved him before, but also because the battle between Li Chu and him on Broken Monument Mountain had already spread.
Countless demons from Huangjin State took advantage of Guo Longque's absence to invade Duanbei Mountain. This was a disaster enough to destroy all the members of Duanbei Mountain, but they were broken in an instant by a young Taoist priest from Jiangnan using the Ten Thousand Swords Technique.
This incident is really too horrifying.
With such a big fuss, other sects and forces in the north would come to investigate. After someone with ulterior motives deliberately promoted it, Li Chu's name spread quickly.
Originally, Guo Longque had issued a death order, forbidding anyone in Broken Stele Mountain to spread the story. Even if they did, they had to say it was done by Wang Qi, and not mention Li Chu's name.
This is actually done to protect Li Chu.
It’s a pity that the people who know the truth are not only the heroes of Broken Monument Mountain. Those people who are interested... are definitely not Li Chu’s friends.
In this way, the news of Li Chu's close friendship with Duanbei Mountain would naturally spread throughout the world. It is conceivable that his future dealings with the court would inevitably be questioned.
"Little Taoist Priest Li..." Changchun Old Man came out to greet him, "I heard that you have done something great again in Broken Stele Mountain. Your cultivation at such a young age is simply shocking. You are really amazing."
"Just a heroic act." Li Chu said lightly, and then picked up the dazed Youdan slave.
"This person is a disciple of Bai Shigong, and he specifically assists the Golden Bodhisattva in refining the Creation Pill. I wonder if he can refine an antidote that can be mass-produced with the recipe for the Creation Pill he mentioned."
"Hmm..." After listening to Li Chu's explanation of the whole story, Changchun Sou pondered for a while, nodded and said, "If you know the complete recipe, it should be possible, then you can leave it with me."
"Okay." Li Chu nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, Changchun Sou suddenly called Li Chu again: "Little Taoist Priest Li..."
"Um?"
"Actually, there is one more thing..." Changchun Sou hesitated and said, "There is one thing I am not sure about, but I think I need to tell you..."
"But you can tell me."
"It's about the Wanshi King..." Changchun Sou said, "The other day I accidentally heard that someone bought a large number of medicinal herbs in the Northland market. Although they deliberately bought a large number of unrelated medicinal herbs, I still noticed that the medicinal herbs they bought seemed to be similar to the legendary immortality recipe. I suspected that it might be the work of the remnants of Utsunomiya, so I asked around and heard that the group went to the Western Regions. Is it possible that the Wanshi King and his subordinates changed their targets after their nest in the Northland was destroyed?"
"It's possible..."
Li Chu remembered that he had heard from his master that King Wanshi once went to Deyun Temple in Jiangnan to intercept Guo Longque, but was severely frightened by his master.
As the saying goes, the older you are, the earlier you run away.
It is impossible for a person who has lived for thousands of years to be courageous. It is reasonable for him to stay away from Heluo and transfer his power to the Western Regions in fear.
There are nearly a hundred countries of all sizes in the Western Regions. Unlike the unified and powerful dynasty power in Heluo, it has always been a place where demons and evil spirits are extremely rampant.
In fact, their guess was correct.
After weighing the pros and cons, King Wanshi chose revenge over longevity. He had already left the North with his family and fled to the Western Regions.
And his last act of revenge before leaving was to publicize the story of Li Chu saving Duanbeishan from danger, thus laying a landmine for the Heluo Dynasty.
However, he could not have imagined that since some rare medicinal materials would disappear once he left the North, his action of purchasing them in large quantities would attract the attention of the ambitious Changchun Old Man.
"The elixir of immortality is indeed a great evil that brings disaster to the human world. But as long as it exists in the world, there will be risks." Changchun Sou advised, "If Taoist Xiao Li has time in the future, you might as well go to the Western Regions to see if you can track down Utsunomiya and King Wanshi. If you find them, you must completely eradicate them."
Li Chu said: "In order to survive in this world forever, these people have killed countless innocent people over the past thousands of years. If there is any clue, I will not let it go."
After a long talk in Yaowang Town and finalizing the matter, Li Chu returned to Jixiang Mansion, and everyone went back to the inn together.
In the inn, Liu Fufeng had been waiting there for a long time.
