The wives and concubines held their hands in joy and said, "Congratulations to your husband for your breakthrough!"
Shen Ping strode forward.
Soon he disappeared into the hall with his wives and concubines.
Listening to the moving melody faintly coming from the wooden windows,
Pei Huoyu was speechless and choked.
Taoist couple practice together.
Although she doesn't yearn for it, she can understand it.
After all, the joy of fish and water can sometimes relieve the boredom of practice.
However, this was the first time she encountered a monk like Shen Ping who worked day and night. Even those monks from the "Moon Lotus Holy Sect" who were good at studying this method had not encountered him so often.
suddenly.
The melody becomes exciting.
The voice sounded faintly like crying.
Pei Huoyu felt a wave of emotion in her heart when she heard those unpalatable words. She hummed softly, her mind was suppressed by Jin Dan, and then she walked into the quiet room.
…
August.
The Maple Mountains are a fiery red.
It is the best time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
In previous years, many monks would come here to enjoy the scenery at this time, but this year there were no monks.
The chaos in the surrounding cities has intensified, with demonic cultivators raging everywhere, and various casual cultivators acting as robber cultivators fishing in troubled waters. Almost every day, you can see Dunguang fleeing across Qingyang Lake into the city. Faced with this situation, Qingyang How can the monks in the city have any leisure?
This day.
While having breakfast, Yu Yan said, "Recently, there are too many casual cultivators in Nancheng. Thirty percent of them don't have houses to rent. They can only find a place on both sides of the street to simply build a shed to live in. Some of them often buy items from our shop. Some casual cultivators asked me if I could open my shop at night and let them stay."
Shen Ping couldn't help but said, "The situation has reached this point now?"
Bai Yuying said hurriedly with a sullen face, "Husband, you haven't gone to Nancheng. There are so many monks crowded in the streets who dare not leave the city."
"Even so, Danxia Sect and Hehuan Sect will come here every day to collect the rent from these monks on the street!"
Shen Ping frowned and couldn't help but think of what Matchmaker Zeng said again. Regardless of whether the Jinyang Patriarch wanted a blood sacrifice, there was something wrong with the reactions of the Hehuan Sect and Danxia Sect. These two sects currently controlled the Qing Dynasty. In Yangcheng, and in more than a dozen surrounding small cities, there are Jindan elders behind the two major sects in charge.
But what about the result.
But they allowed the demonic cultivators of Yue, Chu, and Chang to cause chaos.
The more he thought about this situation, the more he felt it seemed familiar.
I still remember the same situation in Yunshanfang.
But this time it's different.
Sects such as Danxia Sect and Hehuan Sect occupy the area that Jinyang Sect once had jurisdiction over. If the Jinyang Patriarch really breaks through the spirit transformation and comes back, he will definitely settle accounts with these sects first.
Therefore, there is no reason why the major sects of the Twelve Kingdoms would cooperate with Patriarch Jinyang.
"Is it possible that these sects learned about Patriarch Jinyang's breakthrough and wanted to make a profit before leaving?"
Think of this.
Shen Ping felt more and more that the possibility was very high. He glanced at his wife and concubines and seriously warned: "Yu Yan, Yun'er... you should not go to Nancheng these days."
As long as Yu Yan and the others stay in the small courtyard, nothing will happen.
The wives and concubines nodded one after another.
After meal.
Shen Ping went to the Lingchi Quiet Room to meditate.
After his spiritual root has transformed to the heavenly level, it only takes two hours for him to complete a small cycle of the exercises. Compared with the previous second-level cultivation of the foundation, the effect is much improved. This undoubtedly saves a lot of time, allowing him to complete it after noon. If you can make talismans in the talisman room, you can study the talisman scriptures when it comes time to apply.
Another seven days passed like this.
Zhenbaolou elegant room.
Shen Ping and Chong Yan sat on both sides.
Since the last wine tasting banquet, the two of them spent most of their time chatting and communicating, and only occasionally made an appointment to come to this private room for tea.
"Senior Chong, there is chaos everywhere around Qingyang Lake. How is the situation in the Spirit Vein Cave where you are?"
Shen Ping asked.
Chong Yan shook his head helplessly, "Those demon cultivators are really abominable. Not long after the incident in Maple Grove, Wan Du Sect sent a team of monks to surround my cave. Fortunately, I took my disciples to my friend's cave at that time. Stay temporarily, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape.”
"Now I rent a small courtyard in Huiquan Lane, and I will live there for a long time in the future."
Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, "Senior Chong has a grudge against Wan Du Sect?"
"There is indeed a grudge."
"When I first became the second-class guest of Zhenbao Tower, I went to Changguo, encountered something, and killed a Jindan disciple of Wandu Sect. Since then, we have forged a grudge. Over the years, We often fight against each other."
Chong Yan said with a smile, "This kind of thing is very common among monks. The Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Rakshasa Demon Valley, and Chu Kingdom Demon Sect are all making big gestures. I can only hide in Qingyang City to solve some other problems." matter."
The two were talking.
Shopkeeper Qu hurried in and said with a calm face, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Senior Chong, something happened in Qingyang City."
"Just half an hour ago, the Hehuan Sect invited the Jindan elders of the Danxia Sect stationed here to discuss how to deal with the Demon Sect. However, during the discussion, the Hehuan Sect suddenly activated the large formation that had been prepared and surrounded the Danxia Sect. Several elders took the opportunity to attack the Danxia Sect's station."
"Those Jindan elders have asked for help from our Zhenbao Tower. Now Elder Peng, Deacon Xia and more than ten other Jindan guests have rushed over. The main purpose is to mediate grievances and stabilize the situation in Qingyang City."
The color of the sinking surface changed slightly.
And Chong Yan frowned, "Hehuan Sect and Danxia Sect are both major sects in Jinzhou. Although they belong to the two sects of good and evil, the two sects do not have much hatred towards each other. Instead, they have a lot of cooperation, especially when facing other sects. We have always been in the same spirit, how could something like this happen?!"
Shopkeeper Qu sighed repeatedly, "Who knows, alas, the situation in Wei has never been really stable since the ancestor Jin Yang escaped."
"I hope Elder Peng and the others can successfully mediate."
Next, the three of them were waiting in the private room.
It's approaching noon.
Elder Peng, Deacon Xia and a dozen other Jindan guests returned.
In the backyard.
When Shen Ping saw their faces, he understood that this mediation might have failed.
really.
Elder Peng hummed: "Hehuan Sect is a demonic sect after all. They are greedy and arrogant, trying to monopolize the interests of Qingyang City. They ignored our dissuasion and killed those Jindan Taoist friends of Danxia Sect. If this matter is spread back to Shanxi How can those Nascent Soul elders from the Danxia Sect in the country just give up?!"
Deacon Xia said in a deep voice: "This matter is quite strange. The Danxia Sect has a high prestige among the sects of the twelve countries. If the Hehuan Sect acts rashly, it will only bring disaster to itself."
Listening to the discussion of Jindan Zhenren.
Shen Ping didn't think about anything, but said something to Chong Yan and shopkeeper Qu, and left the Zhenbao Building in a hurry.
Returning to the small courtyard in Tongquan Lane, he saw that his wives and concubines were all there. He felt calm and then asked Pei Huoyu, who was standing beside him, "Senior Pei, what is the purpose of the Hehuan Sect's move?"
Pei Huoyu said casually: "There are demon sects from various countries wreaking havoc outside the city, and the Hehuan Sect in the city is suddenly in trouble. This should have been discussed a long time ago. The goal is nothing more than some resource benefits. No matter what these demon sects want to do, Fellow Daoist Shen, there is no need to distract yourself from this."
"No matter how hard we try on this area of Wei, we can't get anything done."
Listen to this indifferent tone.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Senior Pei's words make me feel more at ease. However, I have accumulated some doubts while practicing the Talisman Sutra these days. I want to go to Xiaoling Peak and Xiaoyuan at the end of the month..."
Pei Huoyu walked into the quiet room and his voice came out, "I will set up some formations in these days. When you leave, call Master Qiu to come and sit down and you will be fine."
"Thank you, senior!"
…
Yin Shi.
Inside the bedroom in the small courtyard next door.
Shen Ping reiterated Pei Huoyu's arrangement.
Qiu Zhenren, who was wearing a brown-purple palace dress with charming and graceful cheeks, leaned into Shen Ping's arms and whispered softly: "I listen to you, but the situation is chaotic now. Although I have Senior Pei to protect me, if I encounter a team of demon cultivators on the way , there is still danger.”
laugh.
Shen Ping pulled open her palace dress.
Clap your palms.
Qiu Zhen instinctively turned around and bent over his desk.
Look at the lush landscape.
He lowered his waist and said: "Don't worry, Senior Pei is from the headquarters, he has strong cultivation and many methods. Moreover, Qingyang City is not far from Xiaoling Peak. If there is really a danger that is difficult to solve, True Lord Yunya will also Take action."
Qiu Zhenren suppressed his voice, his cheeks flushed, "With a Yunying senior like Zhenjun Yunya taking action, I will be much more at ease."
Facing Zhenren Jindan.
Shen Ping didn't need to control the jade bone body and could unleash his power completely wantonly.
Two cups of tea passed by.
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's try the Jade Sunflower Body again."
Master Qiu nodded slowly.
Then she raised her feet and stepped over her head, with a faint flash of expectation in her eyes, "Shen Keqing, I believe you will succeed this time!"
Shen Ping said nothing.
He himself didn't have much confidence.
After all, in front of you is a rare outer sect body that can transform seven times.
