King Luo Lin and Rao Zongzhi suddenly discovered that their guide, Junior Brother Hou, had suddenly disappeared. He left a note saying that he was going out to visit friends, and then disappeared.
The two of them are not worried. They are both practitioners with certain strength and rich experience. They have the ability to take care of themselves. They are not children and need someone to protect them.
In fact, the two of them went their own way throughout the whole day. Except for meeting up for a drink when they came back in the evening, they spent most of the time alone, and there was no real difference from Hou Tsu's departure.
The orthodoxy of sword cultivation means that the more you cultivate, the more independent you become.
... Shendu is the capital of Anhe, a famous male city in the southwest. It is one of the five states of Anhe. Although it is the smallest in area, it is the most prosperous. It is surrounded by dozens of small towns, all of which have developed economies and unique characteristics.
Not the same.
There is one city among them, which is located on the bank of Qingcang River. It has water and land transportation and numerous merchants. It is called Jiangcheng.
Those who can settle down and live a prosperous life in Jiangcheng will never be able to do so without a certain level of strength. Wealth, status, and cultivators must all have at least the same.
Today, in Linjiangfang, the best location in Jiangcheng, the Xie family's mansion has been newly built. There are clouds of congratulatory guests and a large number of people surrounding it. Lanterns and colors are displayed, fireworks cannons can be used, and gongs and drums are noisy.
Mr. Xie was originally a wealthy family in the suburbs of Jiangcheng. He usually nodded and bowed when meeting everyone in the city. Recently, he suddenly became prosperous. He dared to buy land and build a house in Linjiangfang, where the land was extremely valuable, and opened a house.
, there is no strong support behind this, don’t even think about it.
The city was small, and the news could not be hidden from anyone. Soon, the news that there were monks in the Xie family who had contributed to the Taoist court and would soon be activated spread throughout Jiangcheng. Everyone turned their attention to it, but no one dared to have any bad intentions.
Are you rich? You can go up and take a bite.
Aloof status? There are always social interactions and favor exchanges.
But if you are a cultivator with potential, then forget about it. No one dares to have any objections to the demons and ghosts on the ground in Jiangcheng. Apart from flattery, they can only utter a few weird words after drinking and curse a few words. One person can achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven.
It is mid-autumn, the wild geese are returning south, and the morning rain is beginning to clear. Washed by the rain, the house looks even more elegant and unique, with a unique artistic conception. It adds another beautiful scenery to the mansion area of Jiangcheng.
The servants were very busy, and the rich man who came from the country was not good at etiquette. Although he hired various people to help him, things still happened frequently and jokes continued.
But no one dared to laugh. The guests were very polite and hid the pride of Jiangcheng people deeply, showing the most sincere smiles to welcome the rise of a new family.
In this world, even ordinary people are no strangers to the world of cultivation. They know that if a family is famous for its accomplished monks, it can at least ensure the prosperity of the family for a hundred years. If there is a second cultivator, the family will be in Jiangcheng.
He has stood firm and is still standing in the most powerful top circle.
The middle door is wide open, with a red silk lantern. The old man of the Xie family is wearing new clothes, and his sons behind him are welcoming the guests with smiles. The secretary next to him has his hands weak from writing, and there is an endless stream of various gifts, most of which they have never seen before.
Never heard of it.
Mr. Xie smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows. He never thought that he would still have this day. In the past, those important figures in Jiangcheng who used to be tired of even kneeling and worshiping others were now offering him gifts one after another, asking all kinds of questions.
It's like being an old friend for many years.
He knew exactly what all this was about.
"Is it really okay if the Fourth Brother doesn't come to receive you?"
The eldest son raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you need the fourth brother to come forward and give them face? Father, don't worry, things are different from the past, and the Xie family is not what it used to be. We are very considerate in terms of etiquette when we step forward to take care of them; if the fourth brother happens again in the future, Take the next step, even you, father, don’t have to laugh with me in front of the door. Once you sit down on the imperial chair in the hall, people who flatter you are not allowed to line up from here to the riverside?"
The family members laughed after a few thanks, saying something rude or not, that's the truth.
The fourth brother, the fourth brother in their mouth, is the star of hope of the Xie family, Xie Chaoyang. Since he entered the path of cultivation, he has been working hard and has a smooth journey. Recently, he has been appreciated by a big shot in the Taoist sect, and I heard that he will be given a great gift. With the opportunity, there is hope that we can make further progress.
Of course, they don't know the specific opportunity, but as long as big figures like Jiang Cheng are pursuing it, it's not easy to get this opportunity, right?
The Xie family is really going to be prosperous.
The front yard was busy, but the backyard garden was quiet and silent. A Taoist priest stood under the transplanted pine trees, looked around and frowned.
Although this pine tree is a mortal thing, there are no such pine trees on the ground in Jiangcheng. It was brought from the Qianshan at a huge cost, and even the soil under the pine tree is from the Qianshan, just for the growth of the pine trees.
The family didn't understand why it cost so much to transport the tree, but as long as it was something he ordered, no one in the family dared to question it.
Of course they didn't understand, this was very metaphorical, because his Taoist name was Xiaosong.
At dawn, it greets the light and stands as tall as a pine tree.
However, this pine still seems to be a little acclimatized, and I don’t know why. It seems that I have to go back to the Taoist sect and find a brother who is familiar with spiritual plants to cultivate it well. This pine has been brought here, and it would be unlucky to die here again. .
I was a little confused, and I didn't know if it was the influence of this pine tree. Listening to the noisy sounds outside, I thought about the need to set some rules within the family in the future. What's the etiquette for making noise?
He is now in the critical stage of connecting bridges. He is only one small step away from advancing to the next level, but this step is also the most difficult step.
A teacher in the Taoist sect who was optimistic about him contacted Anhe Taoist sect's best Jinjing Cave for him. As long as he entered it, he could experience the feeling of reaching the sky, which was of great help to him in reaching the higher realm.
The Spiritual Cave is the secret treasure of Anhe Taoist Sect. It can help monks reach the realm of Taoism. It is said that the success rate can be increased by 30%. This is already very impressive for a monk. The monks in the Taoist sect are flocking to it, and everyone wants to obtain such a thing. By chance, the Spiritual Cave only opens once every three years, and only nine people can enter at one time. The number of places is really limited. If it weren't for his great achievements, how could such an opportunity fall on him?
I feel a little irritated in my heart. Whenever I think of this incident, I feel uncomfortable and a little guilty.
But every time he blamed himself like this, there was another voice in his mind reminding him that the path of spiritual practice is originally a road where people step on others. If you don't step on others, people will step on you.
A warning sign suddenly arose in my heart. I looked up and saw a man in black clothes standing on top of the high back garden wall with a sword on his back. He was full of murderous intent and there was no hiding it at all.
Moreover, the face seems familiar?
The man in black slowly drew out his long sword, "Senior Brother Xiaosong, on behalf of Taoist Master Ling, I am here to congratulate you on your move!"
The body moved vertically, and the sword light flashed...
Taoist Xiaosong sighed, retribution came too quickly. This pine was moved by Meng Lang. It cannot be solved by spiritual planters. The problem lies at the root!
The blood dissipated and the head fell to the ground.
...The word "wild goose" is in front of the wind, and the love behind the mist is condensed in the rain. I don't know whose son is standing in the river city with a sword.
