Chapter 854 Separation
For the next two days, we were in the primeval forest, searching for the corpses according to the map Liang Qing gave me.
But what surprised me was that we didn't find the corpses for two consecutive days. We
didn't even feel anything unusual around us.
"Strange, according to the map Liang Qing gave me, this corpse is only separated from Xu Village by a mountain. Now we have crossed a mountain, but why can't we feel the breath of the corpses?"
I took the map my senior sister gave me, opened it and compared it, and then took another look at the vast primeval forest in front of me, with suspicion in my eyes.
Whether it is the map Liang Qing gave me or the map my senior sister gave me, the corpse pile is marked, and the location error of the two maps is definitely not more than one kilometer, but we have been wandering here for two consecutive days, let alone a corpse pile, we haven't even seen a ghost.
"What's going on? Is the map marked wrong?" I thought to myself that this is impossible. Even if the map Liang Qing gave me was marked wrong, the map my senior sister gave me would definitely not be marked wrong, and the locations marked on the two maps are almost the same, which means that the corpse pile is definitely here.
"What went wrong? I followed Xucun'er as a reference, so I shouldn't have gone in the wrong direction. Could it be that this ground has legs and can run on its own?"
Just as I was puzzled, Wang Qian suddenly came behind me.
"Brother Qianyu, where are we going? We have been wandering in the old forest for several days. Tell me the truth, what are you looking for?" Wang Qian stood behind me, looked at the map in my hand with a suspicious look, and asked in a deep voice.
I hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm looking for a very mysterious place. There are things I need for my practice. I need to practice there, and I may stay there for a long time. But it's very strange there, and many unexpected things may happen. So can I ask you to do something for me?"
Wang Qian was stunned when he heard this: "A very mysterious place, there are things you need for your practice, what are they?"
"Yin and death."
After hearing what I said, Wang Qian was shocked, then shook his head and said, "It's really troublesome for you cultivators to practice, especially for you who follow the Yin lineage and actually need to swallow Yin and death to improve your strength. It's really weird, unlike us martial artists who only need to strengthen our bodies."
After saying that, he took a deep breath, then looked at me and said, "Brother, tell me what help you need. As long as it doesn't violate the ethics of the martial arts world, I will definitely help you."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not an evil person, and I won't let you do evil things. What I ask of you is that you can send Xu Nian out of this old forest and go to Zhangjiajie to find my fiancée Feng Chujiu and hand Xu Nian over to her."
"Oh..." Wang Qian looked at me with some embarrassment, then turned his head to look at Xu Nian, his eyes full of confusion.
After spending the past two days together, Wang Qian and Xu Nian have become very familiar with each other, and he also knows his life experience. While Wang Qian feels sorry for the fate of the people in Xu Village, he also feels very sorry for Xu Nian's experience.
He himself really wants to help Xu Nian, but I guess Wang Qian is a little afraid that I will run away.
So, after hearing what I said, Wang Qian became a little entangled.
I saw this scene, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am the most trustworthy person in the Yin sect. Since I have promised, I will never go back on my word. Besides, Feng Chujiu is my fiancée. I even told you where she is. Would I lie to you?"
"That's true!" Wang Qian scratched his head and said, "Then leave this matter to me, but how can I find you afterwards?"
"Don't look for me. After I find that mysterious place, I will come to find you after I have been in seclusion for a while."
"Brother, you are not lying to me, are you? I heard that it takes a long time for you practitioners to go into seclusion. If you stay in seclusion in this deep mountain forest for several months or even years, where can I find you then? The elder in my family is waiting for the Purple Dragon Pearl to break through. If he can't break through, his life force will be exhausted and his life may be in danger at any time. I am waiting for the Purple Dragon Pearl to save my life. If I can't get the Purple Dragon Pearl, my grandfather will beat me to death when he goes back!"
"Is there an elder in the Wang family who is going to break through? Is he going to break through to the grandmaster of physical arts?"
I thought to myself, if this is true, then the strength of the Wang family is really terrifying. Two grandmasters of physical arts in one family, with such strength, there must be no other family in the whole world.
"How long can your elder hold on?" I asked Wang Qian.
Wang Qian pondered for a moment and then said, "He can probably hold on for about half a year, but this matter should not be delayed any longer. For those of us who practice martial arts, if our Qi and blood are too dry, then the risk of a breakthrough is extremely high, and the chance of a breakthrough will be greatly reduced. So I must send the Purple Dragon Pearl back to my home as soon as possible, so that my elder can break through when his Qi and blood are not too dry."
"The time is so tight?" I was a little surprised, thinking that it was no wonder that Wang Qian didn't trust me and kept following me. It turned out that the elder in his family didn't have much time left.
I took a deep breath and then whispered, "Don't worry, I will contact my sister as soon as possible and ask her to send the Purple Dragon Pearl to Zhangjiajie. You just wait for my news in Zhangjiajie."
"Really?" Wang Qian's eyes lit up, and then his face was overjoyed, and he said, "If that's the case, that would be great. You, Zhang Tianyu, would then be my true brother for life. Then, no matter if the time comes, I, Wang Qian, won't even blink an eye."
I smiled when I heard that, "That's serious. The Purple Dragon Pearl originally belonged to your Wang family. I just wanted my sister to return her intact to Zhao. It's not that necessary."
I thought to myself that Wang Qian's expression didn't seem fake. If that day really came, I believe he could really do it.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll take Xu Nian to Zhangjiajie, and the matter of the Purple Dragon Pearl will be left to brother Qian Yu."
I nodded, then spread out the map that my senior sister gave me, pointed to our current location and said to Wang Qian, "This is where we are now. If you want to go to Zhangjiajie, this is the shortest route."
As I spoke, I drew a line on the map with my hand. Wang Qian nodded after reading it and memorized it carefully.
"Brother, I'll go to Zhangjiajie first. Goodbye. Take care."
"Take care." After I said that, I turned to look at Xu Nian, and saw that he was lowering his head, looking at his toes with a lost look. He seemed to sense my gaze and asked me in a low voice: "Aren't you going with me?"
I smiled when I heard it, then reached out and touched her head, and said: "The place I'm going to is very dangerous, you are not suitable to follow me. Don't worry, my fiancée is a very good person. You stay there first, and I will go back soon to take you to Xu Village where I live."
"Oh." Xu Nian responded in a low voice.
"Go ahead." I nodded to Wang Qian, who did not hesitate to pick up Xu Nian and whispered, "Hold my neck and hold me tight."
He bent down slightly, bent his legs slightly, and then there was a bang. He really rushed out like a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus Rex at an extremely fast speed.
