Merchant of the Underworld

Huang Taoist continued: "Later, those ten disciples escaped from the underground palace. Some were beaten to death by the rebellious common people, and some remained anonymous. My master was one of the surviving disciples! He passed down the secret of the Three Emperors Cauldron from generation to generation. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and when my generation became more and more difficult to live in, I was wondering if I should build the Sanhuang Ding and sell it for a fortune?"

"The few disciples who were caught by the rebellious people back then probably couldn't help but tell the secret of the Three Emperors Cauldron. When the people found out, they stayed in Bulao Village and became the ancestors of Bulao Village." I said with a smile. .

"That's right!" Huang Taoist nodded repeatedly: "Now that the Three Emperors Cauldron has been reopened, my Bagua Mirror can restrain Yin spirits. Why don't the three of us work together to make money and live forever together? Isn't this great?"

Leng Rushuang and I looked at each other and both despised him.

At this moment, the Three Emperors Cauldron ignited with red flames again, and the Yin spirit seemed to be running out again. Leng Rushuang looked at me anxiously: "Shopkeeper Zhang Da, please think of a solution."

I looked around and saw that apart from the mummies, the only thing left in the stone room was the magic fountain of youth.

I had an idea and said: "It's better to push the Three Emperors Cauldron into the well. If the Three Emperors Cauldron can't light the fire, naturally no magic elixir can be produced."

Leng Rushuang chuckled: "This is a good idea!"

"No, no, no!" Huang Taoist screamed: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you let it go? Don't you want to live forever?"

I said seriously: "The length of a person's life is not important. What is important is how much value he has exerted. If he lives like these old people in the Bulao Village, what is the difference between him and an animal?"

After saying this, I couldn't help but give myself a thumbs up.

The man in sunglasses and I walked back to the village along the stairs of the underground palace and found some iron rods. Unfortunately, the Three Emperors Cauldron is so heavy that even the two of us cannot move it.

There was no way to go on like this. I thought about it and asked Leng Rushuang to go up and call Uncle Niu.

Uncle Niu turned pale with fright when he saw the tragic situation in the stone room. But he was used to hard work and was very strong. The three of us used iron bars to pry the Three Emperors Cauldron to the wellhead little by little. At this moment, Taoist Huang suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop! The chain bridge is broken. There is only one way to leave Bu Lao Village. Put down the Three Emperors Cauldron and I will tell you the way out. Otherwise, the Three Emperors Cauldron will be destroyed." You can’t leave here either!”

It was only after he said this that I realized: "Could it be that you cut off the chain bridge?"

Huang Taoist actually nodded without changing his expression: "That's right!"

I hesitated for a moment. What if, as he said, we were trapped alive in the Immortal Village?

Leng Rushuang said from the side: "Don't listen to him! I have a golden compass and can also find a way out."

With Leng Rushuang, we no longer hesitated. Without thinking, the four of us pried the Three Emperors Cauldron into the well water. With a pop, water splashed everywhere, soaking my clothes.

Taoist priest Huang was like an eggplant beaten by frost, being carried out by the man in sunglasses. Leng Rushuang said: "It's best that this underground palace never be discovered. Let's just seal the entrance!"

The man in sunglasses didn't wait for her to finish her instructions. He found a big hammer from nowhere and smashed Uncle Chen's room down with a few blows.

It was already broad daylight, and the entire Fu Lao Village fell into an eerie silence.

When I walked to Lao Luotou's house, I couldn't help but think that the legend of Fu Lao Village might have been spread by the old people in the village in order to lure more people to come here so that they could start making elixirs. It was never right, so it didn’t work out.

By chance, ten of us came this time, which was enough to make up the number, so they decided to do it all at once!

When I returned to Lao Luotou's house, I took off my wet clothes. Suddenly I had an idea and found an empty bowl. I twisted the water from my clothes into the bowl and gave it to the calf to drink.

This is probably the last time the Fountain of Youth will work, right?

After Maverick drank it, his health improved a lot and his breath became normal. It seems that the Magic Fountain of Youth is still very powerful!

The only thing that needs to be solved now is Taoist Huang. Although we pushed the Three Emperors Cauldron into the well and blocked the entrance to the underground palace, these are nothing in the eyes of caring people. I am worried that once we leave, Taoist Huang will If we go back and dig out the Three Emperors Cauldron, it might cause some disaster.

Leng Rushuang saw my thoughts and said to me with a smile: "Don't you want to see the Leng family's heirloom? Keep your eyes open, the second one is here."

It was a sterling silver bell with an unusually clear sound. Leng Rushuang explained to me that this bell is called Wuyi Bell, which can make people erase the memories of the recent period.

She quickly used the power of Wuyi Ling to delete Taoist Huang's memory about the Three Emperors Cauldron.

Since the Three Emperors Cauldron had been forgotten, Taoist Huang naturally didn't understand why he appeared in Fu Lao Village, so he led us to find another way out.

It turns out that the Golden Compass can only search for evil objects and cannot lead the way at all. Leng Rushuang had already made such a plan in the underground palace!

We followed Huang Taoist as he left Bulao Village and parted ways in Qiuchi County. Looking at Huang Taoist's retreating figure, I sincerely hope that he who has forgotten the past can devote himself to good deeds and become a good Taoist priest.

Uncle Niu also broke up with us here. I saw that Maverick's complexion had improved a lot, and I felt that Uncle Niu's persistence was justified. It was precisely because of his refusal to give up that he saved Maverick's life.

After everyone left, I asked Leng Rushuang: "Where are you going next?"

Leng Rushuang looked at me puzzled: "What? I want to come to the Leng family in Tianshan to be my son-in-law. I have to think about it."

"What?" I smiled bitterly, and then showed her the black veins on my arm: "I came here to accumulate yin virtue, and you came here to find yin objects. Although our purposes are different, it seems we can act together."

Leng Rushuang nodded: "That's fine!"

When we left Qiuchi County, Leng Rushuang asked me why the Three Emperors Cauldron was not as powerful as I imagined.

I smiled and said to her: "Yinwu Yinwu, no matter how powerful it is, is still an object. How can it compare with human greed? Which princes, generals and ministers in the past dynasties are not greedy? The purpose of conquering the four directions is to occupy other people's land. With power, I just want more, I want immortality... The old people in the Immortal Village have lived longer than normal people, but they are still not satisfied and want to rejuvenate their youth. It is because of greed that people cause all kinds of disasters. Things only play a helpful role, what is really vicious is the human heart.”

Leng Rushuang nodded in understanding: "I see, I've learned a lesson!"

"Haha, do you want to become a disciple?" I said jokingly.

Leng Rushuang gave me a blank look, took out the golden compass and looked at it. The compass pointer pointed to the west motionlessly.
