Chapter 45 Immortal Master

Chapter 45 Immortal Master
Usually, it only took him one day and a half to get to Qingjiang City. He would take four cakes and a pot of water and set out in the late night. He would eat and drink on the way and only take a short break two or three times. When it was completely dark the next day, he could see the gate of Qingjiang City from afar.

But tonight he felt that Qingjiang City was too far away. When he first walked, he had just experienced life and death, and he still had a breath in his chest, so he didn't feel very weak. But after stumbling for about two quarters of an hour, he felt a sharp pain in his chest with his heartbeat. It hurt when his heartbeat hurt, and it hurt when he walked bumpily. The land was full of weeds, gravel, and ditches, and he couldn't even walk slowly and lightly.

He could not bear the pain any more, and when he finally saw the road behind Bishan, he lay down on the side of the road, trembling all over - this road was at least slightly flatter, and there were fewer wild beasts.

He lay on his side like this for a while and felt that he was breathing out more than breathing in, his heartbeat was intermittent, and his eyes were buzzing.

Just then, he saw something coming on the road in the distance under the moonlight.

It was a tall human figure, walking like a human, but with its arms raised straight up, and between its hands there was a small object that gleamed in the moonlight.

Having just seen a ghost before, Chen San's head buzzed again - this was also a ghost!

He had heard of this kind of thing... A woman in Qingjiang City drowned. Before she died, she held her child high in the water and lifted it out of the water. Therefore, after the body was pulled out of the water, her arms could not fit, so they had to make an extended coffin for burial. Who knew that the woman's corpse would come back to life a few days later, and she was jumping back and forth with her arms raised like this, wanting to go home to see her child. Fortunately, her arms could not fit and were blocked by the door frame, so the family could wait until dawn.

The thing he saw now was almost identical to the female ghost in the rumors! And there was something shining between his hands... Was he refining a ghost pill?!

Chen Sanyao was so frightened that he shuddered and wanted to get up and run, but as soon as he exerted force with his arms, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, so much so that he lost feeling in his arms.

At this time, the big ghost came over, and his footsteps made the gravel and dirt on the ground rustle. Chen Sanyao suddenly closed his eyes and waited for death in despair.

The footsteps stopped beside him. After a few breaths, Chen Sanyao felt himself being kicked twice, and heard a strong male voice: "Hey, hey, why are you sleeping on the road?"

Chen Sanyao quickly opened his eyes and saw a tall and strong bearded man staring down at him.

"You... are you a human or a ghost?"

The man chuckled, "You're lying on the road in the middle of the night pretending to fall down, and you're asking me if I'm a human or a ghost? Eh? What's wrong with your face? Did you fall and turn it into a mess?"

Chen Sanyao felt dizzy and dazed: "I clearly saw you refining the ghost pill..."

The man was startled, then laughed loudly, and then he put his hands together and pointed a sword, shaking it slightly -

A flash of light swirled around his body and disappeared into his narrow sleeves. "What do you mean by my flying sword?"

Chen San's head buzzed with a sound. This is an immortal master! He immediately wanted to shout for help, but his chest suddenly thumped, and he felt a blockage in his throat and fainted immediately.

When he woke up again, it was still dark, but he was no longer on the road. He seemed to be placed under a small mound, lying on a patch of grass. His head was fuzzy, and he felt that the pain in his chest seemed to be less, and he had a little more strength. He turned his head subconsciously and saw the strong man sitting cross-legged on a large bluestone beside him with his arms raised high, holding a little cold light between his hands and bathing in the moonlight.

At this moment, he could clearly see the sturdy man's appearance in the moonlight - he had a sword on his waist, his hair was tied into a messy bun, he had a beard, broad eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and looked extremely heroic.

He remembered again—this was an immortal master!

"...Master, save me! Master, save me!"

The sturdy man glanced at him, retracted his arms, exhaled slowly, and the flying light immediately returned to his sleeves.

Then she supported her knee with one hand and leaned down to look at him: "What do you mean?"

"I, I am from Jinshui Town. A demon went to our town to attract ghosts... and I found out and he wanted to kill me to silence me!" The strong man raised his hand to smooth his beard: "Silence me? What are you going to use to silence me?"

"Use... a sword!"

The sturdy man nodded: "The wound on your chest is indeed a sword wound. What about the one on your face?"

"It was bitten by the evil ghosts lured by the demon!"

"Hey, the ghost that ate your face is indeed an evil ghost. But that demon can attract evil ghosts, but you escaped?"

"I...I...actually, it was the demon's disciple who let me off. The demon asked him to kill me, but he said he missed the target on purpose."

The sturdy man smiled and said, "Then this little demon's swordsmanship is really good."

Chen Sanyao hesitated for a while, frowned and said, "Alas, he is not a little demon Taoist, that demon Taoist just accepted him as a disciple... But he is lucky. Humph, if I were lucky, I would also..."

He felt that he had enough strength now, and he raised his upper body while talking. He saw that his chest had been wrapped up, and his face seemed to have been covered with some cool ointment. He felt relieved and talked more frequently.

But just as he said, "After Li Jiye was fished out by the young lady from the Xue family," the strong man jumped off the bluestone and said, "Since there is a demon, just run away!"

After saying this, he threw the package in his hand onto his back, grasped the knife handle and walked away.

Chen Sanyao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shouted: "Master, Master, since you saved me, please accept me as your disciple and let me work like a cow or a horse to repay you!"

The sturdy man laughed: "Is that me repaying you, or you repaying me?"

He walked very fast, and after a while, only his broad back could be seen. Chen San grabbed the bluestone beside him and pulled himself up, lamenting in his heart why he didn't have the good luck like Li Jiye, but he had only sighed halfway when he heard a gust of wind behind him.

He was so scared that he turned around and saw the strong man coming back. He frowned and asked him, "What's the name of the demon you are talking about?"

"...Zhao Qi?"

The sturdy man's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Is it a thin face with thin eyebrows and eyes, and looks about thirty years old?"

"Yes Yes!"

"Is he an evil spirit drawn by a talisman?"

"Yes, yes...Master, how did you know?!"

"Hey, then you can't say that you have bad luck, but you are blessed with good fortune!" The strong man sneered, "Which direction are you going in Jinshui Town?"

Chen Sanyao pointed quickly, and the strong man flew away, shouting: "Don't go back, run for your life!"
