Chapter 63: Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled
The evil Bodhisattva was furious. He put on the head and chased after him, causing the earth to shake.

It was extremely fast, and one of its steps was equivalent to twenty steps of Chen Shi and his companions. Even if Chen Shi and his companions used the Jia Ma Fu and ran in a straight line, they would definitely not be able to outrun it.

However, this is Qianyang Mountain, where the terrain is varied, with steep cliffs, deep ravines, and dense jungles everywhere. Although the evil Bodhisattva runs fast, he is left behind again and again by Chen Shi and others who take advantage of the geographical advantage.

But it was indeed powerful, and it found the traces of Chen Shi and others again and again, and chased them again.

Seeing that the effectiveness of their armor and horse talismans was about to run out, Chen Shi, carrying Jin Hongying, went into a cave. Hei Guo and Li Tianqing rushed in, only to see Chen Shi turning left and right in the cave in front of them, very skillfully. It should not be his first time to go through this cave.

The cave was like a maze, which made Li Tianqing and Jin Hongying feel scared. If they rushed in rashly without a guide like Chen Shi, they might die without being able to find their way out.

"Chen Shi must have been a naughty kid in the past. He even went into such a dangerous cave. If he was my brother, he would have beaten his butt to pieces!" Jin Hongying thought to herself.

There is some glowing moss on the stone walls of the cave, which is very strange. Once you adapt to the dim light in the cave, you can barely see your surroundings.

The cave is a bit dark and damp, but the air is not stuffy. This cave should have multiple entrances connecting to the outside world, so the air is suitable.

The evil Bodhisattva couldn't find any trace of them, and could not help but make a sharp bird cry in anger, but no one could understand what it was saying.

Chen Shi put down the golden red tassel, tightened the bookcase on his back, and whispered, "Follow me."

They continued walking in the cave, following Chen Shi as they went deeper and deeper.

Jin Hongying and Li Tianqing calculated the distance and felt that they should be walking into the mountain. If they go further, they might pass through the mountain.

Suddenly, a steep cliff appeared inside the mountain ahead. Jin Hongying almost fell down accidentally. Fortunately, Chen Shi grabbed her arm in time.

She stepped on several rocks and they fell into the cliff inside the mountain. It was a moment later that the sound of them landing was heard from below.

On this cliff in the mountain, someone actually carved out a mountain path along the cliff wall. Although the mountain path is only two feet wide, it is still very significant and amazing.

The three men and the dog were almost clinging to the cliff wall, moving forward step by step, sideways. When they were halfway there, Li Tianqing suddenly saw a huge skeleton on the cliff opposite. It was phosphorescent, and the bones were thick and long, extending from the darkness under the cliff and climbing on the cliff.

But they couldn't get close to it because it was too far away and they couldn't see clearly whether it was real bones or stalactites.

"There are too many strange things in Qianyang Mountain." The two said in their hearts.

If Chen Shi hadn't led the way, they would never have seen such a spectacle in their entire lives.

Going around the cliff road to the other side, there was another cave at the end of the road. They followed Chen Shi all the way there. They didn't know how far they had walked when suddenly there was a bright light in front of them. They walked into the light and it took them a while to adapt to the light outside.

This is actually a quiet valley with gurgling streams gathering into a pool.

Chen Shi put down the book box, which contained about ten pounds of spiritual and physical supplies he had prepared.

In addition to the spirit and flesh, there is also a small pot, a small knife for taking out the dog blood, and a cooking spoon.

The three men and the dog were already starving. Chen Shi first cut off a piece of meat and threw it to Hei Guo, then found a few stones to set up a simple stove, preparing to make a fire and cook here to fill their stomachs.

The trees around have all been vitrified, except for some rotten and dead trees that cannot be vitrified and are not affected by the Demon Realm.

Li Tianqing chose an old tree that had died not long ago, split it in half with the Liuyin Jade Wheel, and used it as a chopping board.

Chen Shi was cutting meat, Li Tianqing was chopping wood with the Six Yin Jade Wheel, and the two of them were cooking together. On the contrary, Jin Hongying was sitting aside, doing nothing.

The woman caught a glimpse of the water pool not far away, looked at herself, raised her arm and sniffed her armpits with a look of disgust.

She walked towards the pond and said from a distance, "I'm going to take a bath. You two little devils are not allowed to peek! If you peek, I'll dig out your eyes!"

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing responded, and then they heard a rustling sound coming from the pond. It should be Jin Hongying taking off her clothes.

The two of them took a quick look for some unknown reason, and saw a white figure with graceful curves by the pond. Her back was facing away from them, and her two long legs were as straight as chopsticks.

The woman raised her arms and was tying her hair. She seemed to realize something and turned her head suddenly. She saw Chen Shi and Li Tianqing, one cutting meat and the other chopping wood. No one was looking at her.

When she turned around, the two boys peeked over again, but unfortunately Jin Hongying had already fallen into the water.

"You've seen something you shouldn't have seen. Be careful of getting stye in your eyes!" Jin Hongying laughed in the water.

"Nothing to see." Chen Shi said with disdain as he concentrated on cutting the meat.

Li Tianqing brought the chopped firewood and said with disdain, "There's nothing to see. I've seen it before. When I was eight years old, I secretly watched my cousin taking a bath!"

Chen Shi said, "That's right. Last time I passed by Widow Wang's door, I saw her bathing in the yard, all white. She asked me to go in, but I didn't!"

Li Tianqing found a fire talisman from his bookcase and started to make a fire, saying, "Sister Hongying doesn't allow us to read it, so who cares? I can read it freely when I take a bath."

The two boys talked about women taking baths and then about women's bodies, sharing what they knew with each other. When they encountered something they didn't understand, they became serious and discussed it seriously.

While the discussion was heated, two hands reached out, one on each side, grabbed their ears and pulled them up.

Jin Hongying had finished washing and put on her clothes at some point. She came up behind them, grabbed their ears, and said angrily, "You two little brats have learned your lesson. You've become so bold before your hair has even grown fully grown!"

The two cried out in pain, and Jin Hongying finally let go. Her hair was wet, so she tilted her head to straighten it.

After Chen Shi and Li Tianqing talked about women, their relationship became much deeper.

——As expected, boys have more common language with boys.

After the meal was ready, Li Tianqing used the Six Yin Jade Wheel to carve three pairs of chopsticks, and the three of them sat down to eat together.

Jin Hongying sighed, frowning, and said, "Damn the Zhao family! Zhao Yanlong caused such a big mess, and Zhao Tianbao, as the governor of Xinxiang, didn't even send anyone to settle it. The whole family should be executed!"

Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved, and he asked, "Did the Zhao family provoke the evil Bodhisattva?"

Jin Hongying nodded gently: "Who else could it be if not them? When the evil Bodhisattva was born, I rushed over immediately and saw three masters of the Zhao family being killed by the evil Bodhisattva. The Zhao family was entrenched in Xinxiang, and their target was originally the True King's Tomb."

Li Tianqing said: "I also guessed that the Zhao family entered the kiln factory to search for the whereabouts of the True King's Tomb, and as a result released the evil Bodhisattva. If it was other treasures, the Zhao family would not have sent so many people."

Jin Hongying glanced at him and sneered, "Your Li family is not much better. The Li family is far away in Quanzhou, why did you send Li Kefa to Shuiniu County to be the county magistrate? Isn't it for the tomb of the real king? You and your grandson are not here just to investigate Li Kefa's death, right?"

Li Tianqing admitted, "My grandfather and I are also investigating the whereabouts of the True King's Tomb, so we can report back."

Jin Hongying said: "Your Li family is much more mature and sinister than the Zhao family. The Zhao family is just a scapegoat deliberately raised by your Li family."

Li Tianqing was puzzled and looked at her in doubt.

"The Li family is far more powerful than the Zhao family, so why didn't they occupy Xinxiang before the Zhao family rose to power? Did they lack the strength? No. The Li family was just afraid that if they monopolized Xinxiang, they would attract suspicion from other ancient families like themselves. Moreover, the Li family had no idea where the True King's Tomb was, how dangerous it was, and what the dangers were. They were afraid that if they opened the True King's Tomb, there would be heavy casualties and their vitality would be greatly damaged."

Jin Hongying picked up a piece of meat and said, "So they need a stepping stone, a pathfinder, and the Zhao family is such a stepping stone and pathfinder. The rise of the Zhao family in Xinxiang is definitely due to the connivance of your Li family, which made the Zhao family swell and have evil intentions to move into the tomb of the real king. The Zhao family suffered heavy casualties, but the Li family was not even hurt. Isn't it wonderful?"

Chen Shi asked, "Sister Hongying, are the aristocratic families so powerful?"

“It’s really that amazing.”

Jin Hongying said earnestly, "There is a reason why the aristocratic families have survived to this day. You must never underestimate any aristocratic family. Even the Xinxiang Zhao family, who was used by the Li family, seems to be used by others, but aren't they using this opportunity to gain a foothold in Xinxiang? The original Zhao family was just a small family, but now it is entrenched in Xinxiang, with growing power, a prosperous family, and many masters. They have not suffered any loss."

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "The Zhao family released the evil Bodhisattva and killed so many people. Will the court arrest the Zhao family and bring them to justice?"

Jin Hongying smiled and said, "The imperial court? You mean the Ming cabinet? How do you know that there is no support from the Zhao family in the cabinet? The Li family used the Zhao family to test the waters, so the Zhao family might as well turn to other larger families to protect themselves. Don't think too much, brother. Maybe this time the Zhao family can make some efforts and become a loyal and heroic family!"

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What about the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

Jin Hongying stuffed a few pieces of meat into his mouth and said with a smile: "The king's law, the king's law, of course it's the king's law, it only governs you, the common people! What, you still want to govern me? Eat quickly, and then get on with your journey!"

After the three of them finished their meal and packed up, they set off again, following a rarely traveled path to the outside of the valley.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived outside Jinghu Villa.

Outside the villa, Xiao Wangsun's carriage was parked there, and Li Jindou was lying beside it, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Li Tianqing hurried over, checked his breath, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

Li Jindou woke up and saw that his grandson was still alive. He was surprised and happy. Then he became angry and shouted, "You evil creature, you still have the nerve to see your grandfather!"

Li Tianqing was completely confused and didn't know why he was angry. He quickly said, "Grandpa, I..."

"Grandpa me? Okay, you be the grandpa and I'm your grandson!" Li Jindou said angrily.

Jin Hongying walked towards the manor, but Chen Shi quickly stopped her and shook his head, saying, "Outsiders are not allowed to enter, and there can be no more than two people in the manor at a time. Otherwise, it will be dangerous."

He explained the rules of Jinghu Villa and said, "You are not from the villa, and you don't know how many people are in the villa, so don't barge in rashly."

Jin Hongying didn't dare to go in. She had guessed last time that strangers were not allowed to enter, otherwise they would be counterattacked by the villa. She just didn't know the exact rules. She sneered, "Xiao Wangsun, get out of here!"

The coffin of Xiao Wangsun was opened layer by layer, and after a while, Xiao Wangsun walked out of the coffin.

A coffin in the southwest corner was also opened, and the person who walked out was Grandma Sha.

Chen Shi was startled for a moment, then realized: "Grandma Sha was also one of the people who built the villa! Strange, it's getting stranger and stranger! Grandpa, Grandma Sha, and Xiao Wangsun, they seem like people who will never be connected, but they are connected by some strange relationship... Grandpa must have joined some strange gang!"

The two walked out of Jinghu Villa, neither of them looking very good.

Granny Sha said, "Let's talk farther away so as not to disturb the old guys sleeping here. No one can stand waking them up."

Everyone looked at the other coffins in the villa in awe.

Who are sleeping in these coffins?
Are they alive or dead? Why can't they wake up from their long sleep?
Everyone came to the Mirror Lake, where the air was so freezing cold that Hei Guo couldn't help but sneeze and shiver.

Chen Shi looked at the four of them: old, weak, sick, and disabled. They were all present. He couldn't help but sigh.

Granny Sha is old, Jin Hongying is weak, Prince Xiao is sick, and Li Jindou's calves are fused to porcelain, making him a disabled person.

How can such a group of experts defeat the evil Bodhisattva?
