Chapter 99 The Second Thing

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In the following period, Jiang Wang went to the city guard station to discuss with Zhao Lang almost every day, and sometimes served as a training partner for other cultivators in the city guard army.

In this kind of high-intensity and high-frequency battle training, he became more and more proficient in the use of Taoism, and gradually adapted to Zhao Lang's complex and changeable combat system.

Until Bai Lian came to the door again.

It was still night, and Bai Lian also did not enter the bedroom directly.

Perhaps knowing the importance of Jiang An'an in Jiang Wang's heart, she left herself in danger in the hospital.

"The second thing?" He wrote a message to An An, and after coming out, Jiang Wang asked directly.

Bai Lian said nothing and walked away.

Since returning from Yuheng Peak, Jiang Wang has actually been considering the distance between him and Bai Lian. He has been considering what attitude he should use to face Bai Lian.

There is no doubt that Bai Lian, or some organization behind her, is not friendly to Zhuang Ting.

In the matter of overthrowing Yuheng Peak, Jiang Wang chose the people of Sanshan City, essentially standing on the opposite side of Zhuang Ting. But his inner feelings towards Zhuang Ting were very complicated.

He grew up in this country, and under the education he received since childhood, he has full trust in the court and admiration for the monarch.

So he was very conflicted for a time. Later, although Ye Qingyu's letter clarified his decision, he decided that his choice was not wrong. But he did not feel that he had to go against Zhuang Ting.

He especially didn't understand why Bai Lian had to take him there and let him make a choice when he could complete the matter at Yuheng Peak.

He realized that there was some secret unknown to him, which made him full of caution and vigilance.

He planned to keep a distance from Bai Lian.

But she didn't expect him to stop. Bai Lian didn't say a word and became extremely cold.

With all the distant words and responses stuck in his stomach, Jiang Wang had three appointments to make, so he could only catch up first.

The two of them walked out of the west gate and headed towards the Luliu River.

When they arrived at the Luliu River, Bai Lian did not get on the boat, but walked along the river bank.

When the roar of the mighty Qingjiang River could already be heard, Bai Lian finally spoke.

"A large part of the reason why that incident happened in Xiaolin Town was because the Qingjiang Water Palace contained the city guards. Wei Yan and Zhao Lang could only go to the City Taoist Academy to transfer people, which wasted a lot of precious time."

Bai Lian turned her head and looked at Jiang Wang's expression: "So, do you think Qingjiang Water Mansion is hateful?"

"Hateful." Jiang Wang said.

This is not something that requires hesitation. Who among those who have participated in the Xiaolin Town operation does not have resentment towards the Qingjiang Water Mansion? Just like they also hate the Heart-Eating Man-Demon. It’s just that they have not yet reached the level of dialogue with the Qingjiang Water Mansion.

.

Bai Lian's eyes overflowed with coldness: "Go kill a few water tribes to relieve your anger."

"Containing the City Guards is the responsibility of the Lord of the Water Mansion. What does it have to do with ordinary water tribes?" Jiang Wang shook his head: "I don't do anything to anger innocent people."

Zuo Guanglie, the majestic Chu Tianjiao, refused to take action against a group of beggars from an enemy country until he died.

Although he, Jiang Wang, is far inferior in strength, he is also unwilling to be a violent person.

"If what goes up and what goes down works, how can there be any innocent people? Aren't ordinary water tribes hateful?"

"The Water Tribe and the Human Tribe have known each other for thousands of years, and we help each other as equals. Just like each of us wants to kill the Heart-Eater Demon, but no one would think of killing a bear to ask the people back home."

"How do you know?" Bai Lian mocked: "In Xiong Wen's hometown, the entire town was killed. Do you think what you saw is the truth of the world?"

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment: "The person who killed Xiong Wen's entire hometown is just another Xiong Wen."

"Do you think there are more Jiang Wang in this world? Maybe there are more Xiong Wang."

The moonlight shone on the water, and the two of them walked forward until the Luliu River, a tributary of the Qingjiang River, finally merged into the Qingjiang River.

"Speaking of which, the water tribe and the people help each other on an equal footing." Bai Lian smiled, seeming to find it incredible: "Does anyone still believe in the ancient covenant?"

"Why don't you believe it? Since ancient times, humans have lived on land and aquatic people have lived in water. They have always lived in peace."

"Since ancient times? What history do you know?"

Tonight's Bai Lian seems to have a thorn in every sentence, either derogatory or damaging.

Jiang Wang said angrily: "If you know anything about history that I don't know, please tell me."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. If you don't want to kill the Shui Tribe, don't kill them. Why are you so angry?"

"I am not angry."

Bai Lian took a step towards Jiang Wang, but Jiang Wang silently moved away.

Bai Lian smiled: "It's your own decision to kill or not to kill. I didn't force you, so what are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid..."

Like a ghost, she stepped in front of Jiang Wang, gently touched his heart with her fingers, and said softly: "Deep down in your heart?"

Jiang Wang frowned: "Stop beating around the bush. I owe you three things. Just tell me what you want me to do."

"Will you do whatever I ask you to do?"

Jiang Wang was choked and could only say: "I will not kill innocent people, whether human or aquatic."

"So." Bai Lian turned around and walked forward: "There is no need to tell you what to do now. You should observe it before making a decision. I won't force you anyway, right?"

Even though she is wearing a black robe and in the darkness of night, her graceful figure cannot be completely concealed. Her occasional twists and turns create a scenery that touches people's hearts.

"It's right here." Bai Lian grabbed Jiang Wang's hand, pulled him into the grass on the shore, and squatted down.

She put down a formation disk, activated Dao Yuan, and then said with a smile: "The concealment formation is really set up now."

Jiang Wang knew in his heart that she was teasing him about what happened at Yuheng Peak last time, so he remained silent and just stared at the water of Qingjiang River.

He was very curious about what he would see next, and he also felt a kind of confusion that he couldn't explain clearly.

What will he see?



Time passed slowly, as if the peace that had always lasted was broken.

The water bank of the Qinghe River is wide open, the waves are far away, and the silver light is shining.

A figure left the water and walked toward the shore. He was wearing black clothes and a black scarf covering his face. He also carried a large black bag on his shoulders, which almost blended into the night.

The cloth bag vaguely outlines the human shape. But based on this moment, Jiang Wang thinks that the cloth bag should contain an aquarium.

The water tribe and the human race are similar in appearance. This is the reason why the two tribes have recognized each other for thousands of years.

The few differences lie in the unique characteristics of the aquatic tribe, such as fish scales, fish whiskers, turtle shells, etc. Each aquatic tribe has more or less aquatic characteristics, which are revealed by their talents and will never disappear.

The figure was getting closer and closer, so close that Jiang Wang could see it very clearly. He was sure that it was a human race.

A human race secretly packed an aquarium in a cloth bag in the Qingjiang River in the middle of the night. What did he want to do? What does this mean?

"Why did he do that?" Jiang Wang found that his voice was trembling slightly. He didn't know where the uneasiness came from.

"The Water Tribe is also born with a manifest Dao vein. And it is more advanced and purer than the monster beasts." Bai Lian said in his ear.

Her voice was pleasant, but what she said was cruel: "In other words, the Vein Opening Pill made by extracting the water veins is a better and more perfect Vein Opening Pill."

Jiang Wang's hand holding the sword became extremely tight.

The equal coexistence of the human race and the aquatic race is a common sense rooted in our hearts. It has also been the consensus of this land for countless years.

When Zhuang State was founded, it relied on the deadly battle at Qinghe Shuifu.

The Taizu of the Zhuang Kingdom, Zhuang Cheng, made an everlasting covenant with the Qianmeng, and the words of the covenant are still recited by children in class! Humans who slipped and fell into the water were often rescued by the water tribe. During festivals, the humans often sprinkled gifts of fruits and melons along the rivers.

The human race and the aquatic race are so similar, so close. One is on land and the other is in water. There is no competition for living space.

In his opinion, there is no difference between extracting the Taoist veins of the Shui tribe and extracting the Taoist veins of the Human race.

And can extracting the human race's Dao veins be used to refine the Pulse Opening Pill?

Not saying whether it is possible or not, just thinking about it, I feel it is something unforgivable!
