When Zhao Shu and Mr. Jing Ming rushed back to Bihu Manor in Quartz City, they immediately saw Shi Huoguang and the others.
"Zhao Shu, are you really..." Shi Huoguang was filled with surprise when he saw Zhao Shu with his own eyes. For a moment, he burst into tears and even burst into tears in front of everyone.
"Mr. Shi is worried." Zhao Shu quickly comforted him: "I insisted on hiding it back then because I didn't want to implicate Mr. Shi. Now that we are reunited today, Mr. Shi doesn't have to worry too much."
Shi Huoguang nodded repeatedly and wiped away his tears. Zhao Shu turned to Duan Zhao, Lu Wangji and Cangyan Gong and bowed to each other: "Thank you three for helping me this time. I wonder if you were blocked by the monks from Huaxu Kingdom on the way?"
"We took a slight detour and there were no obstacles." Duan Zhao looked relaxed: "Actually, at the Huaiying Pavilion, someone took the lead before we took action."
"Who is it?" Zhao Shu asked.
Duan Zhao raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the lake in the backyard: "He calls himself Jiang Yingke and is a monk of Xuanpu Hall."
Zhao Shu nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "You have traveled thousands of miles, so take a rest here. Mr. Shi, this is the boundary of Chiyun City. The three elders are all trustworthy people. They have had contacts with the teacher in the early years, so you don't have to worry.
Since Huaxu Kingdom has attacked you, our kindness to each other has been exhausted."
"I know, alas... I didn't expect Da Sima to be so decisive and ruthless. As soon as he learned about you, he immediately sent someone to attack me." Shi Huoguang was still frightened, and waved his hands with a wry smile: "Anyway, I have nothing to hate. It's you.
, it has made a lot of progress over the years. It would be very gratifying to see the first one with my own eyes."
Zhao Shu sighed silently, suppressed his thoughts and said, "Old Shi, go and rest first. I'll go see that guest from Jiangying."
Shi Huoguang reminded: "That Jiang Yingke's cultivation level is unpredictable. He... I can't tell. Anyway, you have to be careful and don't offend him."
Zhao Miao said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I have offended him a long time ago."
"I'll go with you." Lu Wangji said.
"I am the same." Cang Yangong agreed.
Duan Zhao even said more simply: "Okay, let's do it together. If there is a fight, we can take care of each other."
Zhao Shu originally wanted to decline politely, but Mr. Jing Ming said: "It may not be useful in large numbers. Please ask three people to stay on guard outside. Zhao Shu and I will go visit the guest from Jiangying."
"Jingming, don't look away, you're going to end up with everything." Duan Zhao said with a smile.
Mr. Jing Ming was calm: "I can't even see it, so why can't I look away?"
Everyone made arrangements, and then Zhao Shu and Mr. Jing Ming came to the lakeside in the backyard. The waterside pavilion where Lu Wangji used to play the piano by the lake was now only a piece of broken rubble and overgrown with weeds.
Jiang Yingke, dressed in Tsing Yi, leaned over to pick up a stone and threw a string of water floats towards the lake. He looked like a wealthy young man coming for an outing in the countryside, calm and relaxed.
"Huh? Are you here?" Jiang Yingke looked back at Zhao Mian and asked, "Are you that Xu Huaiyu?"
"I am Zhao Shu, who previously walked the world as Xu Huaiyu." Zhao Shu cupped his hands and said, "I heard that it was Mr. Shi who rescued Mr. Shi. I am extremely grateful."
"You are quite frank and don't hide anything." Jiang Yingke looked around, obviously aware that Lu Wangji and the others were on guard outside: "It's just that you act like you are facing a powerful enemy. Isn't it the way to treat guests?"
"Mr.'s background is unusual, so we have to be on guard." Zhao Shu said without concealing his words.
"What's the unusual origin?" Jiang Yingke asked.
Zhao Shu did not answer immediately, but secretly ran the "Supai Danxin Jue". The jade tree staff in his hand emitted melting blue light, and life sprouted around him. However, when the green light shone on Jiang Yingke, there was no reaction at all.
Logically speaking, using the technique of "Sumai Danxin Jue" to move qi can not only nourish the vitality of plants and trees, but also heal wounds and harmonize meridians. When monks are illuminated by blue light, they will more or less be able to sense qi.
But Jiang Yingke's body didn't have any energy floating around, it wasn't even like lifeless earth and rocks, but it was completely transparent and clear, and the magic power and true energy could not be touched, as if it was just a shadow projected on the world.
""Su Mai Dan Heart Technique"? You have developed some real skills." Jiang Yingke repeatedly raised his palms and praised: "This level of cultivation is much higher than those of those incompetent Xuanpu Hall disciples."
"Sir, you are a master, how dare I boast?" Zhao Shu said.
"Then do you know my origin?" Jiang Yingke asked curiously.
Zhao Shu gathered his magic power and bowed in obeisance: "The dung in the lower world is a sign of Zhao Shu, please pay your respects to the Immortal of Xuanpu."
Jiang Yingke put away her slight smile and said, "You know, once your identity is revealed, you and I will not be allowed to be careless."
"When the immortal comes to this world, you should not ignore the small omen." Zhao Shu said.
Jiang Yingke stared at Zhao Mi, as if he wanted to see him inside and out: "Then you should understand why I am here."
"Xiaozhao destroyed the thousand-year-old blessed land of Lingtai Ruins without the permission of the Immortal. He committed a grave crime." Zhao Shui replied.
"Yes." Jiang Yingke's tone gradually turned stern: "If ordinary people who know nothing about it act arbitrarily and cause the destruction of the blessed land, I don't care. But you clearly know that Xuanpu Hall is an immortal sect, and you even got the Jade Book
Inheritance is a different matter."
Zhao Shu asked: "I wonder what the immortal will punish you?"
"If you destroy my blessed land cave, I will take back the cultivation power of "Sumai Danxin Jue" from you. Isn't that too much?" Jiang Yingke asked.
The corners of Zhao Mi's eyes twitched slightly. Cultivation mana is not something that can be handed over and taken away at will. Moreover, the cultivation skills of "Sumai Danxin Jue" have been integrated with Zhao Mi's Taoist foundation. If they are forcibly separated, Zhao Mi's foundation will be shaken.
If I don't die, I'm afraid my cultivation will be completely destroyed on the spot.
As soon as Jiang Yingke finished speaking, Lu Wangji and the three people who were on guard outside secretly raised their magic powers, obviously not wanting Zhao Shu to be punished.
"Shangxian, I'm afraid this punishment is too much." At this time, Mr. Jing Ming spoke.
"Have you passed?" Jiang Yingke looked normal: "Zhao Shu is not a member of Xuanpu Hall, but he was lucky enough to inherit the Jade Book. Based on this alone, it is not too much for me to take away his cultivation magic power."
Mr. Jing Ming argued: "The Immortal understands everything in the world. Since he knew that Zhao Shu had obtained the inheritance of the Xuanpu Jade Book, he did not intervene. It can be seen that the Immortal has acquiesced in this matter. What's more, the Kunlun Continent has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and the inheritance of each family has withered a lot.
It’s out of order. The immortal Dharma scriptures are scattered in the rivers and lakes, and there is nothing wrong with them being obtained by those who are destined to get them. How can Zhao Miao be held responsible for this?"
"Okay, I don't have to pursue the inheritance of the jade book." Jiang Yingke didn't get too entangled: "But Zhao Shu knowingly committed the destruction of Lingtai Ruins. Even if I don't pressure people as an immortal family, if I follow the secular theory,
What Zhao Shu did can also be regarded as an act of destroying people’s fields, houses and industries.”
Mr. Jing Ming shook his head and said: "What the Immortal said is inappropriate. If you want to follow the worldly principles, can Lingtai Ruins have land deeds as proof? If there is no human law to prove it, then we must follow common sense. Before that, what is Lingtai Ruins?
Who takes care of it? I’m afraid it’s not a member of Xuanpu Hall, right?”
As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Shu was surprised. Mr. Jing Ming was so quibbling in front of the Xian family. Is he really not afraid of offending the other party?
However, Jiang Yingke nodded with a smile: "It does... make some sense."
Mr. Jing Ming continued: "The disciples of Xuanpu Hall were unable to protect the blessed land. Lingtai Ruins was first invaded by evil spirits and then occupied by Chongxuan Hall. Instead, it was repaired by Zhao Shu. The blessed land remained vacant for more than ten years, so why was the immortal not there?
When will we arrange for the disciples to regain control of the Lingtai Ruins? At this moment, accountability from the lower world is not in line with the common sense of the world, and it even seems to be unreasonable."
After Jiang Yingke heard these words, he immediately raised his head and laughed: "Okay, okay! As expected of having been enlightened by Dongdan Yuanjun, he has such a sharp mouth, and it seems that he has more than just sharp eyes!"
"Make the immortal laugh." Mr. Jing Ming said without a smile.
"But what if I insist on speaking forcefully?" Jiang Yingke smiled, and huge pressure radiated from his body. Everyone present felt that their energy was stagnant and their magic power was hard to expand.
The Immortal Family is fine if they don't take action, but once they take action, the difference will be immediately clear. You must know that the five people present, looking at the entire Kunlun Continent, are all extremely talented people in the world. If they join forces, there will be almost no one in the world who can resist.
At this moment, Zhao Mian gave a deep shout, and Xiang gave birth to purple flowers. The skylight shone down, and he broke free from the invisible oppression. A sound of sutras and rhymes surrounded the surroundings, destroying Jiang Yingke's magic power.
Everyone relaxed physically and mentally. Jiang Yingke's sleeves were fluttering in the wind, and his eyebrows were condensed: "Sure enough, you have inherited the Qingya Wonderland. Did Liang Tao pass it on to you?"
Zhao Miao's tone was uncompromising: "That's right! Will the Immortal be held accountable for this?"
"That's not the case," Jiang Yingke said, "Chongxuan Hall is destroying itself, so why should I cause trouble?"
"As Mr. Jing Ming said, the truth has been explained clearly." Zhao Shu said: "If the Immortal ignores the truth and insists on pursuing it to the end, and even wants to take my life and cultivation power, then I beg your pardon that Zhao Shu will not sit back and wait for death.
.”
Jiang Yingke looked at Zhao Shu meaningfully and said nothing. In order to resolve the tense atmosphere, Mr. Jing Ming said again: "By the grace of the immortal, Zhao Shu destroyed the blessed land of Lingtai Ruins not for personal gain. Nowadays, the disaster in the east of Kunlun is prevalent.
The grass and trees withered, and the people were hungry and had no food to eat. Thanks to Zhao Shu's practice to eliminate disasters, the earth regained its vitality. This is the principle of making up for the deficiency when there is excess damage, which is in line with the eternal principles of heaven."
"Does this count as using other people's money to do good deeds?" Jiang Yingke asked.
Mr. Jing Ming sighed softly: "Lingtai Ruins is not only a blessed place opened by the Immortal before he ascended to the real life in the past, but also the fruit of the accumulation of management by successive disciples of Xuanpu Hall. Such a blessed place and Taoist temple has taken the credit of the creation of heaven and earth, and has become a beautiful scene of Zhonglinglingyu.
Not to mention taking all the glory, but it is also a blessing from the immortal family that ordinary people cannot hope for. And since the disciples of Xuanpu Hall cannot keep this immortal fate, why not return to the world and benefit all living beings?"
"Oh, you have explained all the truths in heaven and earth." Jiang Yingke helplessly spread his hands: "Okay, okay, I don't want the head office in Lingtai Ruins, right?"
"Thank you, God, for your kindness!" Zhao Shu took the opportunity to bow down and express his gratitude.
"You really know how to look at the timing, but don't think that I will let you go. I am very small-minded." Jiang Yingke said with a smile.
Mr. Jing Ming asked: "Shangxian actually didn't intend to pursue Zhao Shu from the beginning, right?"
Jiang Yingke's expression was quite vivid: "You guys, can't you say a few words less? I want to pretend for a while longer!"
"The Immortal family will not do anything arbitrarily." Mr. Jing Ming said: "The Immortal is deliberately testing Zhao Mi."
"Since you know it, why did you come out to block it for him?" Jiang Yingke asked back.
"We at Chiyun all accept his kindness and cannot just sit idly by and ignore it." Mr. Jing Ming said firmly.
"Sure enough, it is exactly as Dongdan Yuanjun said, three stubborn bull noses." Jiang Yingke chuckled.
At this time, Mr. Jingming changed his face in surprise: "Shangxian...have you met the Patriarch?"
"Since we are coming to the territory of Chiyundu, how could we not discuss it with Lord Dongdan Yuan?" Jiang Yingke showed a proud smile to win back the victory: "How is it? Did you originally want to use Lord Dongdan Yuan to suppress me?
One end, so that I can retreat in spite of difficulties?"
Mr. Jing Ming remained silent, while Jiang Yingke shook his head and sighed: "You have not become immortals after all, so don't speculate on certain things. Immortals do not act arbitrarily, but the mysteries involved are not something you can easily test.
Try to be smart, but beware of setting yourself on fire."
"I understand." Mr. Jing Ming bowed his head.
"Okay, don't keep a straight face. Aren't you tired?" Jiangying guest rolled up his sleeves, and the nine-colored light swirled in all directions. A pavilion appeared by the lake, with tables, chairs and utensils complete, and even a pot of boiling tea.
Zhao Shu used the Yingxuan Zhao Scenery Technique to look at it for a long time. Jiang Yingke stood by the pavilion and said, "Don't look at it. The power of condensing qi into matter is real. It's not an illusion."
Zhao Shui nodded to everyone and entered the pavilion to sit down together. Jiang Yingke said: "Since you have found out my identity, I won't hide it. I am Jiangying Xianqing of Xuanpu Cave. I don't care about the immortal class in the world or the lower world."
Just as a guest."
Everyone in Zhao Mian saw the Xian family in person and saluted together. Jiang Yingke raised his hand and said, "There is no need for such vulgar etiquette. This time, the lower realm has indeed sensed the destruction of Lingtai Ruins. Although I have no intention of pursuing it, you
Waiting to deal with it is also very satisfactory to me."
Zhao Shu couldn't help but ask: "Does the Immortal really not care about the destruction of Lingtai Ruins?"
"Back then, I was the psychic form of a jasmine grass in Xuanpu Cave. I was banished to the lower world due to an accidental birth of mortal mind. I lived in the mortal world for many years and went through all kinds of things before I discovered it." Jiang Yingke spoke frankly about his past.
:
"Later I was born and cultivated as an immortal. I found a blessed land in the east of Kunlun and built it into Lingtai Ruins. After I passed down the "Sumai Danxin Jue" and the Xuanpu Jade Book, I ascended and left on my own, although there were also a few disciples.
, but do not expect them to attain immortality.
I consider myself to be in no debt to Xuanpu Hall. Whether this blessed place will survive or not depends on whether future generations can uphold it. If they ascend to the Xuanpu Cave, they can enjoy eternal life. If they have no chance of immortality, why should I insist?
?”
Zhao Shu really didn't expect that. He originally thought that the Xian family often valued their own inheritance very much, but after listening to Jiang Yingke's words, it showed that the Xian family also had different opinions.
"In this case, why did the Immortal descend to the realm in person?" Mr. Jing Ming knew that the Immortal family often did not like to be involved in scheming, and would not easily reveal their identity in front of mortal monks unless the matter was of great importance.
Jiang Yingke looked at Zhao Shu and said with a serious expression: "Zhao Shu, what do you think about the Xian family's lower world interfering with the world's living beings? Don't worry about my identity, just say so."
