Chapter 319: Crossing the Tribulation

~13 min read 2,429 words

The contract matter was settled. Li Banfeng still had to explain some things to Meng Yuchun. This territory would have to rely on Meng Yuchun to guard in the future, and Meng Yuchun's territory would have to rely on Li Banfeng to take people to reclaim land in the future. There were many problems for the two to deal with.

Just like this group of wandering monsters under Mountain-Pulling Master, it was a problem that needed to be solved urgently.

Li Banfeng asked them to sign the contract on the spot, and they would listen to Meng Yuchun's dispatch in the future.

Wandering monsters are easy to talk to; they follow whoever they follow.

The vine monster and the chef monster were a bit reluctant.

They had struggled to reach this cultivation level today, and it was not easy to have the status of a wandering monster, just to no longer be under the control of a local deity. As a result, Li Banfeng asked them to sign the contract today, and the two of them hesitated and refused to press their fingerprints.

Reluctance is easy to talk about; the Lady has already eaten her fill, and adding a little side dish is not impossible to stuff in.

Li Banfeng stared at the two wandering monsters and said with a smile: "Really don't agree?"

The two wandering monsters couldn't see Li Banfeng's face, only the lowered hat brim and the slightly raised lips.

Before they could express their position, Teasing Woman shouted first: "I agree, I am willing!"

"You?" Li Banfeng shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid you don't have a chance."

"I sincerely..." Before Teasing Woman finished speaking, Meng Yuchun twisted Teasing Woman's neck behind her.

The other two wandering monsters didn't hesitate anymore and signed the contract immediately.

……

Yuezhou, Garden Stadium, the boy band concert ended more than three hours ago, and many fans were still unwilling to leave.

He Jiaqing waited until three o'clock in the morning before sneaking into the stadium and drilling into the ground.

Covering the seal on the top of his head, He Jiaqing twitched for a long time. This severe pain was really unbearable.

He didn't put the seal in the cellar, but carried it on his body with the box and left the stadium.

In one place, you can make a move at most twice a month. This is the rule He Jiaqing set for himself.

Come again in a few days, although this is really a good place.

Out of the stadium, He Jiaqing drove to a villa in Yucong District.

The villa hadn't been taken care of for a long time, there was a lot of dust, and the bedding was moldy.

He Jiaqing put the seal in the secret compartment under the bed, took out an oil brush from his pocket, brushed it twice on the door of the secret compartment, and the door of the secret compartment disappeared.

After putting away the seal, He Jiaqing went to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, and first stood on tiptoe.

Bones creaked, and He Jiaqing grew three centimeters taller.

He covered his face with his palm, rubbed the skin a bit loose, rubbed the cheekbones a bit higher, lengthened the nasolabial folds, deepened the forehead wrinkles, darkened the skin tone...

After some rubbing, He Jiaqing turned into the appearance of He Haisheng.

Changing into a gray Zhongshan suit, He Jiaqing carried his suitcase out of the villa, hailed a taxi, and went to Yuezhou East Station.

Two days later, He Jiaqing arrived in Green Water City, took a rickshaw, and went to the He family mansion.

He Haiqin's complexion was good, and his originally fat body had grown several circles thicker.

He was eating mutton in the restaurant, and He Yuxiu laughed on the side: "Brother, is your cultivation growing? You've eaten six sheep!"

He Haiqin ignored He Yuxiu and looked at "He Haisheng": "Third brother, why are you back again?"

"He Haisheng" didn't speak.

He Yuxiu frowned: "What matter can't let your sister know?"

He Haiqin wiped his mouth and said: "Alright, follow me upstairs to talk."

He Yuxiu waved her hand: "You don't need to go upstairs either. I'm leaving, I'm going to play cards, I'm really too lazy to listen to your broken things!"

He Haiqin pulled He Yuxiu and said: "Sister, you can't leave, I have something important to tell you in a while."

"He Haisheng" followed He Haiqin upstairs. Before "He Haisheng" could speak, He Haiqin had already guessed his intention: "Did you find the elixir again?"

"He Haisheng" nodded: "Found twenty pills this time."

"Where did you find them?"

"Still the original place."

He Haiqin took the elixir box and smiled: "Jiaqing is a good child, really a good child.

Third brother, you must take good care of him. Brother is sincerely asking you."

"Brother, what are you saying? Jiaqing is my nephew, I also feel sorry for him."

He Haiqin counted out ten pills and handed them to "He Haisheng": "Brother, you take them!"

"Brother, I can't take these."

"Take them if I tell you to! The Golden Spring Casino has been doing well recently, I can't take care of it, it's yours."

"Brother, what are you doing..."

"Don't ask, it's rare to come back once, hurry up and do your business, and go take care of Jiaqing in the outer state when you're done."

"He Haisheng" left.

He Haiqin sat beside He Yuxiu, continuing to gnaw on mutton, eating and saying: "Sister, let me tell you about our family business."

He Yuxiu was stunned: "Why are you telling me this? I don't understand."

"I'm going on a long trip, the family business will be managed by you in the future."

He Yuxiu didn't understand even more: "You let me manage the business? You should find third brother for this! Why are you telling me?"

He Haiqin shook his head: "He is not that kind of material."

He Yuxiu laughed: "I've lived so long, and this is the first time I've heard that I'm a material for doing business. Alright, you say, I'm listening."

……

Leaving the He family mansion, He Jiaqing went to a residential house in the east of the city, wiped his face in front of the mirror, and turned into a man of about thirty with a mediocre appearance.

He changed into a long gown, brought a cool hat, and went to the Miaosheng Phonograph Shop.

The previous storm had passed, and the phonograph shop was still in business, but there was no business. Ling Miaosheng was dozing off in the back as usual. He Jiaqing tapped the counter lightly and smiled: "Still doing business?"

Ling Miaosheng raised his head, looked at the man in front of him, and asked: "Are you buying a phonograph? Which one did you like?"

He Jiaqing shook his head: "I don't like the goods here, can I go inside and take a look?"

Ling Miaosheng got up and said: "Let's make it clear first, are you here to buy things, or to take revenge? If you're here to take revenge, solve the matter right here."

He Jiaqing laughed: "Do I know you, to come to you for revenge?"

Ling Miaosheng took He Jiaqing to the back door, opened a room, and displayed various phonographs inside.

He Jiaqing scanned every phonograph, saying while looking: "I am a friend of Miaowen and Miaoying, a friend from the outer state."

Ling Miaosheng pointed to a bright black spring phonograph: "This is produced by England, the workmanship is very exquisite, and the tone is impeccable, but the thing is a bit delicate and needs frequent maintenance."

He Jiaqing continued: "Miaowen and Miaoying should have mentioned me to you, I am as close as brothers with them."

Ling Miaosheng walked to a silver phonograph again: "This is a phonograph produced by the Cheman Kingdom, sturdy and durable, with a crisp tone, suitable for playing piano music."

He Jiaqing continued: "Miaowen is gone, Miaoying has no news, the family business cannot be left like this."

"This phonograph is produced by Xipanni. The tone has some edges and corners, it's worse for playing music, but it's particularly clear for playing human voices."

"Miaosheng, the only one I can trust now is you."

"Sir, are you here to buy a phonograph?"

After looking at each other for a moment, He Jiaqing laughed, put on his cool hat, and left the phonograph shop.

Ling Miaosheng sent him to the door and then returned to doze off behind the counter.

Walking on the road, He Jiaqing shook his head helplessly.

This person is impervious to oil and salt.

Old Wan said Seeing Ling Miaoying was still alive, He Jiaqing was not sure if he was really still alive.

But some things still need to be done by someone.

……

In a courtyard outside the city, Wan Jinxian was drinking tea in the study. A servant suddenly moved a chair and sat opposite Wan Jinxian, pouring himself a cup of tea to drink.

Wan Jinxian was stunned for a long time, and suddenly saw the person opposite wipe his face and smile at him.

"Jiaqing!" Wan Jinxian was both surprised and happy, pushed open the door, and looked around, fearing that someone would hear the movement.

"Don't worry, the family is asleep," He Jiaqing laughed, "Before I leave, they won't wake up."

Wan Jinxian hurriedly asked: "Why are you back?"

"I miss you, old brother, specially came back to see you."

Wan Jinxian laughed bitterly: "I'm not a big girl, why do you miss an old man like me? Is there anything important?"

He Jiaqing drank a sip of tea: "You told me before that Miaoying was still alive, have you had any news of him recently?"

Wan Jinxian shook his head: "Since appearing in Outside Xiaoyao Wu last time, he hasn't shown his face again."

He Jiaqing put down the teacup and said: "I just went to the film company, our movie stopped filming."

Wan Jinxian said: "I really don't understand this film industry. I asked someone to ask, they said it would be finished in two days, but the actress doesn't know where she went."

"You mean Tu Yinghong? Didn't you go find her?"

"I sent someone, heard she also appeared in Outside Xiaoyao Wu, estimated she is with Seeing Ling Miaoying."

He Jiaqing frowned.

Before, he trusted Seeing Ling Miaoying too much.

Seeing Ling Miaoying and Tu Yinghong acting together, was it really just to target Ma Wu?

Is Seeing Ling Miaoying really still alive?

If Seeing Ling Miaoying is already dead, find someone to take his place as soon as possible.

If Seeing Ling Miaoying is still alive, his and Tu Yinghong's actions are clearly beyond He Jiaqing's control.

"Find Tu Yinghong, let her finish filming, I can't stay in Puluozhou for too long, this matter must be done as soon as possible."

Wan Jinxian nodded: "I heard that Lu Maoxian often sends people to the set to find trouble, and your father also sent people, don't know why Miaoying would offend Uncle He."

He Jiaqing pinched his chin and said: "Estimated it's still for the business of Haichiling."

"Otherwise, let the Ling family spit out some of Haichiling's business and return it to your father."

He Jiaqing shook his head: "You don't need to worry about my father's side, it will be solved in a few days."

……

He family mansion, He Haiqin's wife Yan Yulin persuaded: "Haiqin, that's enough, how much have you eaten?"

For three whole days, He Haiqin kept eating mutton, and bags of sheep bones were sent out one after another.

He Haiqin was full of oil, impatient with Yan Yulin: "This is a matter of cultivation, you don't care, let the back kitchen change shifts, roast one after another for me, don't stop." 【319-1

"Haiqin, you can't eat any more!"

"I can't make you understand!" He Haiqin stood up, wanting to go to the back kitchen himself, but he ended up getting stuck in the doorway and couldn't get out.

Yan Yulin looked at He Haiqin, and she could no longer make out his figure at all.

His massive torso was about to swallow his limbs, making his entire silhouette become increasingly round.

"Go to the kitchen and take a look quickly! Must you make me run there myself?" He Haiqin was angry, so Yan Yulin hurried to the back kitchen.

He could no longer sit in the chair, so He Haiqin sat back down on the floor and pulled five Golden Core pills from his pocket.

He had been crawling through Puluo Continent for decades and had never seen pills of such high quality.

This was the good stuff refined from the Profound Life Did Honglian.

The reason people in this world wanted the Profound Life Did Honglian was for this good stuff.

Jiaqing, I know what's on your mind, kid.

You want to send me to cross the Tribulation.

But even if I know, what can I do about it?

Three times the lifespan.

Who in this world wouldn't want to cross this hurdle?

He Haiqin stuffed all five pills into his mouth at once.

Jiaqing, you've helped me once, and I won't treat you unfairly either.

Your aunt doesn't understand anything; you can easily snatch the business back from her hands.

Future matters are left to you.

Waves of pill poison surged up, so He Haiqin picked up half a sheep and, gnawing and swallowing, forcibly suppressed the pill poison with the mutton.

The next morning, a burst of urgent shouting woke Yan Yulin.

"Madam, something has happened to the Master!"

Yan Yulin hurried to the dining room, where half-congealed mutton fat flowed all the way into the hallway, causing He Yuxiu to slip and fall several times on the floor.

When she rushed into the dining room, Yan Yulin saw a massive mound of grease piled against the wall, occupying nearly half the area of the dining room.

Where did this pile of grease come from?

"Where is the Master!" Yan Yulin shouted.

A brave servant walked over to the grease and reached in to grope for a moment; a human face slowly reappeared from within the grease.

Although that face was bloated and distorted, Yan Yulin still recognized the familiar features.

"Master, Master, what happened to you!"

Yan Yulin threw herself beside the pile of grease, holding He Haiqin's face and wailing loudly.

PS: He Jiaqing is indeed a filial child.
