Wang Buxie bid farewell to Zhang Lide and prepared to embark on the journey to the southwest alone. He knew that the key to solving the problem must be hidden there.
However, just as he was about to set off, Zhang Yiyu suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Brother Wang, I want to go with you too." "Zhang Yizhou said firmly."
Wang Buxie was a little surprised: "What are you going to do?" It's very dangerous there. "
It's my responsibility too, regarding my grandfather's matter. And I can also help. "There was a hint of unwavering determination in Zhang Yizhou's tone."
Wang Buxie looked at Zhang Yiyu's determined eyes and knew that she was not acting on impulse, but genuinely wanted to help.
Well, then you have to listen to me. Wang Buxie finally agreed.
The two of them embarked on a journey to the southwest together.
After arriving in the southwest, Wang Buxie and Zhang Yiyu began to inquire around, trying to find people related to Old Master Zhang. After some effort, they finally found an old man named Lao Han Li.
Li Laohan was a good friend of Zhang Laoye when he was young. The two of them used to drive trucks together and went through many ups and downs together.
Wang Buxie explained his intentions to Old Man Li, who appeared very shocked upon hearing them.
Poor Zhang, how could he have encountered such a calamity! "Old Li sighed."
"Uncle Li, do you know who cast a curse on Master Zhang?" "Wang Buxie asked eagerly."
After a moment of contemplation, Old Li spoke slowly, "This matter may be related to a certain person." "
Who? "Wang Buxie asked again."
The former leader of the Lingxi Sect had a grudge with Senior Zhang in the past. "
Wang Buxie was surprised to find that this matter was actually related to the Lingxi Sect.
Mr. Li, can you elaborate on that? Wang Buxie was eager to learn more information.
Old Li nodded and began to recount the long-forgotten past.
It turned out that Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li accidentally disrupted a secret ritual of the Lingxi Sect during a delivery many years ago. Since then, the former head of the Lingxi Sect has been holding a grudge and wanting to retaliate against Master Zhang.
Zhang didn't know about this all along, he just thought that person was a bit strange and didn't take it to heart. "Old Li said."
Wang Buxie understood that this time, it is very likely that Zhang Lao's illness is a retaliation from the Lingxi Sect.
"Mr. Li, do you know where that person is now?" "Wang Buxie asked."
Old Li shook his head and said, "Since the leader of Lingxi Sect changed, he disappeared and no one has seen him again." "
Wang Buxie frowned, knowing that in order to completely solve the problem, he must find that person.
He decided to conduct a thorough investigation, believing that as long as he found that person, he would be able to save Mr. Zhang.
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou bid farewell to Li Laohan and continue to search for clues in the deep mountains of the southwest. They believe that the truth is hidden in this mysterious land.
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou trekked through the mountainous area in the southwest for several days and finally found a remote village, which is said to be the birthplace of the Lingxi Sect.
They entered the village cautiously and found that the villagers were very alert to their arrival.
"Brother Wang, why do I feel like the people here don't seem to welcome us very much?" Zhang Yizhou whispered.
Wang Buxie nodded and said, "The people here may be related to the Lingxi Sect. We need to be careful." "
They began to inquire around the village, but the villagers seemed to be avoiding their questions.
Just as they were about to leave, a little girl suddenly grabbed Zhang Yiyu's hand.
Sister, are you looking for followers of the Spirit Creek Sect? "The little girl asked innocently."
Zhang Yiyu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
The little girl pointed to a mountain behind the village and said, "There is a cave there, and people in the village say that a very powerful person lives there." "
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou glanced at each other and decided to go check out the cave.
They followed the little girl's guidance and arrived at the entrance of the cave. The cave was pitch black, giving off a very eerie vibe.
Wang Buxie took a deep breath and walked in first. Zhang Yizhou followed closely.
The cave twisted and turned, and they walked for a long time before finally discovering a stone chamber deep inside the cave.
In the center of the stone room, an old man with white hair is sitting cross-legged. In front of him, there is a strange wooden box.
Who are you? Why are you here? The old man slowly opened his eyes, his voice revealing a hint of majesty.
Wang Buxie took a step forward and said, "We are here to find the former leader of the Lingxi Sect." "
The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "What do you want him for?" "
"He has cast a spell on someone who is very important to us, and we want to rescue him." "Zhang Yizhou said urgently.
The old man fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I am the person you are looking for." "
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou were both shocked to find their target so easily.
Why did you poison Master Zhang? "Wang Buxie asked."
The old man sighed, "It was indeed my fault back then." I am willing to lift the curse, but you must agree to one condition from me. "
What conditions? Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou asked in unison.
"Help me find the new leader of the Lingxi Sect. He has betrayed the sect, and I need you to help me locate him." "
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou glanced at each other, knowing that this would be an even more difficult journey.
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou faced the former leader of the Lingxi Sect in the stone chamber, and a hint of fatigue could be seen in the old man's eyes.
Why do you want us to help you find a new leader? "Wang Buxie asked vigilantly."
The old man sighed, "The new leader has obtained a forbidden power, and he wants to use this power to control more people. I must stop him." "
Zhang Yizhou was a little puzzled: "Then why don't you go find him yourself?" "
The old man shook his head and said, "I am old, and the new leader is wary of me. It would be more convenient for you young people to take action." "
Wang Buxie pondered for a moment and then said, "I can agree to your request, but you must first lift the curse on Master Zhang." "
The old man nodded and said, "Of course, I will now remove the curse for Mr. Zhang." "
He took out a small pottery jar from the wooden box, muttered something under his breath, and then handed the pottery jar to Wang Buyi.
Mix the medicine powder in the water here and let Master Zhang drink it. The curse will naturally be lifted. "
Wang Buxie took the pottery jar, examined it carefully, and then carefully put it away.
How can we find a new religious leader? "Zhang Yiyu asked."
The old man took out a map from his pocket, on which some strange symbols were marked.
This is the secret stronghold of the Lingxi Sect, where the new sect leader is likely hiding. Follow the markings on the map to find it, but be careful, the new cult leader is very cunning. "
Wang Buxie and Zhang Yizhou took the map and studied it carefully.
We will find him. Wang Buxie said firmly.
The old man nodded and then began the ritual to remove the curse on Master Zhang.
After the ceremony, Wang Buxie and Zhang Yiyu quickly returned to Jiangcheng with the antidote powder.
