Longevity Fairy City.
During that time, there was a lot of excitement outside the Wanshou Fairy City because the celestial phenomena were really strange, with fire falling from the sky, stars hanging upside down, and bullfights soaring into the sky...
Various strange celestial phenomena appear one after another. Although some old people in the city are not considered new generations, they still have many legends about the destruction of the spiritual energy of the Sentient Sect many years ago.
Due to that unusual sudden incident, some people in the entire fairy city couldn't help but feel panic, and it didn't take long for the news of Suwu retreat to come out.
However, outside the city lord's palace, things are going on as usual. Next year's taxes will be paid as usual, or even a lot more. Then the monks in the city will immediately rush to worry about their own household affairs and have no intention of discussing the strange celestial phenomenon.
After all, most of the immortals in the city are not ordinary monks. There are a few wealthy immortal cultivating families or dignitaries in the city who are very interested in observing whether there will be any disaster on that day.
But even if they are worried, as time goes by, they are also prepared for disasters and slowly become calmer.
Seeing this development, Liang Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that the essence of every world is the same whether he is a cultivator or not.
How can people have the leisure to discuss current affairs when they are busy with their daily lives? Those trivial matters are not their concern.
Only people who live a worry-free life and have nothing to do can write passionately and discuss important matters. Without him, life is worry-free.
As time went by, Wanshou Immortal City gradually began to settle down, and even the monks in the city became a little excited.
Because the Dongsheng Immortal Dynasty's imperial edicts had already been sent to every immortal city in the east, the city lord's palace directly released the imperial edicts from the Immortal Dynasty without any delay.
Immortal Dynasty Competition!
The golden age!
Just ask me if I am a genius, I am blessed, or if I have the ambition to reach the sky, and I don’t want to live in this world, if so, then my stage will be denied.
That competition had nothing to do with cultivation level. Immortal cultivators of any cultivation level would be able to soar into the sky in the golden age.
After all, the only chance in this world is luck. In the golden age of the Ming Dynasty, how could I not be able to reject the proud man of heaven?
While the entire Wanshou Immortal City was sharpening their swords in the Eastern Capital, Liang Sheng remained leisurely and contented on the outside and was not affected at all.
He doesn't want to be involved in the world of great conflict at all. He is completely different from the monks in the fairy city.
After all, he has the talent of being a naive person and wants to cultivate honestly. Even if the world cannot withstand his breakthrough, why should he take the risk?
Bu Nao Liang Sheng also felt bright in his heart. In the East of the Great Competition of Cause and Effect in the Immortal Dynasty, no matter who he is, he or she is entangled with cause and effect. Maybe even if he is lying at home, he will be suddenly killed by a meteorite from outside.
Therefore, Liang Sheng can try his best to use the law of cause and effect to detect the cause and effect around him, or the accident may come later.
After Chunyangzi came to Wanshou Immortal City because of Fengyuan, he wanted to slip into the spiritual veins of the Immortal Dynasty, which was slowly recovering its vitality, but it was no longer possible for the spiritual veins to absorb the spinal cord of heaven and earth.
During the turmoil in Immortal City before, he had already done legwork in Suwu and Shanshi, so Chunyangzi's whereabouts were naturally not hidden from him.
Fortunately for Bu Nao's misfortune, Chunyangzi was really guarding Fengyuan at this moment and had no time to pay attention to what was going on in the fairy city at that time.
Fengyuan's current state is very similar to when the city lord of Zhenyuan was banned. Compared with Zhenyuan, he actually had more initiative.
Just pray that when he wants to break through the ban and appear, he will naturally wake up. The arrival of Chunyangzi also gave Su Wu more confidence.
Although the Immortal Competition has arrived, the fate of the people has not yet been determined, and murderous intentions are brewing. Most of the immortal cultivators are perfecting their own state, so they do not immediately enter a tense state. In other words, everyone has time.
Prepare.
After the initial excitement in Immortal City, most of the immortal cultivators gradually calmed down. No matter how excited they were, they also strived to be in the best condition before the big fight.
Perhaps every bit of preparation will be the first straw that overwhelms others. Besides, sharpening the knife will not miss the woodcutter. Therefore, after the Suwu retreat, more and more people are retreating in Xiancheng, which also makes the security situation in Xiancheng rise in a straight line.
.
It was an unexpected surprise for Liang Sheng. He was the last person who wanted to break his current peaceful life. The calmer he was, the better it would be for him.
At this point, you can just let nature take its course.
…
Longevity Fairy City.
Outside the prison of the city lord's mansion.
Zhou Shen was cracking melon seeds at the moment. When he finished cracking the last melon seed, the Dongmao bell happened to ring. At that time, he didn't panic and ordered the Dongmao bell.
At this time, the outside of the prison was not as tight as before. After the Immortal Dynasty ordered Dongdong to the Immortal City, many people's hearts were already wild.
Zhou Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, why bother? How could there be so many protagonists in this world? Most of them are just ordinary people.
Furthermore, the ancestral motto of the Zhou family is that future generations should live a stable life, act low-key, and seek self-awareness. This has almost been engraved in the blood of the Zhou family.
Therefore, Zhou Shen was different from the excitement in their hearts. He just wanted to develop safely and didn't think about the pie falling from the sky at all.
When leaving the prison gate, Zhou Shen said hello to the jailer he was friends with, and went straight back to the Zhou family's house without stopping, and then went straight to the backyard.
That's where the family's guest ancestor, Elder Jin Quanxiu, lives.
The living fossil of the Keqing family, even the clan leader was born under his watch. The legend about the ancestor of Keqing has been circulated in the Zhou family.
The fact that the Zhou family has been able to develop so smoothly is largely due to Wong Fang. After all, Wong Fang can be the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, the Zhou family's Dinghai Shenzhen.
After all, no matter how low-key the Zhou family is, if they want to develop, there will definitely be disputes. However, over the years, many of the sources of disputes in the Zhou family will disappear inexplicably at first.
After that situation happened several times in a row, other families outside the Zhou family no longer wanted to provoke him.
After all, isn’t it good to live well?
As for the secrets of the Zhou family, no one dared to investigate. In addition, the Zhou family was powerful but kept a low profile and did not actively seek trouble. The surrounding families gradually became less concerned.
Why ask for trouble and give your family another enemy with mysterious strength?
Could it be that Jin Quanxiu's status in the Zhou family has become more and more high, and even the patriarch is regarded as a grandson in front of him, let alone other descendants of the family?
Bu Nao is said to have a fate. When Zhou Shen was a child and a naughty boy, he once accidentally entered Jin Quanxiu's residence and ate candy there. Because he was tired and thirsty after a day of playing, he didn't show any politeness and just went to the house.
After drinking a cup of tea from Patriarch Jin, he fell into a coma for three days.
During those three days, Zhou Shen's parents were so anxious that they frantically searched for Zhou Shen, causing a lot of commotion in the family.
When Zhou Shen woke up in a daze and said goodbye to Patriarch Jin and went home, he was beaten thoroughly.
After Bu Nao waited for him to explain where he was going to play, his parents couldn't help but look at each other and didn't bother to beat him, so they went straight to the clan leader.
After hearing the description of Zhou Shen's parents for the first time, the patriarch's eyes lit up, and then he whispered to Zhou Shen.
"Shen'er, I will remember to go to that old man's place to play more in the future. Of course, I don't have to do anything. Just like tomorrow, I just have to have fun there."
At that time, Zhou Shen was not a child, so he was ignorant, but for a child, having an extra place of freedom would have unlimited temptation.
From then on, he really went to play in his ancestor's house from time to time. Only when he became an adult and became sensible did he realize how profound his blessings were.
After all, can this be the ancestor of the family?
Fortunately, the patriarch did not let his wife become too utilitarian at the beginning, otherwise... Thinking of this, Zhou Shen smiled slightly.
That assumption is not necessary. After all, it has already been confirmed. Why think about it now? It will deny your own happiness anyway.
Zhou Shen was over a hundred and twenty years old, but he had already established his advanced level of cultivation. There is no need to elaborate on the reason for this.
Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors.
But even if he is an adult and sensible, Zhou Shen still has the same relationship with Jin Quanxiu as if he has been friends for many years. Although his words are more respectful, it does not mean that he is respected by his seniors, and more is not sincere.
Sincerity is the ultimate skill.
Jin Quanxiu, who was beaten away from the house, also opened his eyes at that time, because he had already sensed Zhou Shen walking in, and couldn't help but smile.
That child was not the one he had watched grow up, but he had a pure heart. He looked very much like his former second disciple Shen Wuque.
Even the expressions between the eyebrows are somewhat similar, and I don't know if there is an extra layer of filter. Jin Quanxiu has been watching over Zhou Shen's healthy growth. That period of time may have provided him with comfort in his first days.
As soon as Zhou Shen came in, he bowed and saluted, then rudely walked beside Jin Quanxiu and shouted loudly.
"Ancestor, he told you that the recent Immortal City is really different. Do you think those people are stupid? Can they get involved in the Immortal Dynasty Competition?
Whether they are really greedy or not, they are all blinded by lard. A group of idiots, I am afraid they don’t even know how they died in the first place.”
Jin Quanxiu ignored him and smiled without opening his mouth. After he finished drinking the tea, he smiled and said, "I can see clearly.
No matter what you choose, it's not a personal choice. It doesn't matter whether you're wrong or wrong. Some people want to be safe or happy, but some people want to fight for that glimmer of life between heaven and earth.
In fact, what about Bu Cong? In the end, whether you live or die depends on your own fate. To be honest, I really don’t have the ambition to be the best?
Not to mention that there will be other geniuses from the Immortal Dynasty coming to Cocoa, but just talk about other geniuses from the Immortal City outside the Dongsheng Immortal Dynasty. I don’t want to see their style?
"Can the Immortal Dynasty's order make it very clear that all the great candidates of the third level of refining the void are qualified for the competition? If you don't say deep, I will be the chosen one, and I will soar to the sky from then on."
Zhou Shenlian went to take a sip of tea, and then said a little funny: "Ancestor, I am making a joke on him again, he is always careful, no, I should say that the Zhou family just wants to live a stable life, and is not contaminated by cause and effect at all.
No matter how far he, the son of the Zhou family, can go in cultivating immortality, he is actually not destined to die, so why should he fight against his destiny as a human being?
It's better to just wait and see, and what's mine is what's mine, or it's even better to take advantage of that chaotic time to cultivate one's moral character.
After all, no one knows what the future will bring. Instead of worrying about it, it is better to enjoy the present life with peace of mind. Thinking about things is simply a waste of life."
"My skinny monkey..."
Hearing that, Jin Quanxiu couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. Shen Wuque was not that scoundrel back then. Thinking of that, when he looked at Zhou Shen, his eyes couldn't help but become more tender.
If my three disciples were not here now, I am afraid they would have become a quarrel. After all, the three of them have different personalities.
Bu Nao and the three landlords must have had a very happy time after their reunion, right? Master will be here soon, so we don't want to be too anxious.
When Zhou Shen saw Jin Quanxiu's expression at that time, his heart couldn't help but move. He had seen his ancestor's expression several times since he was a child. He already had experience, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Even if the ancestor’s cultivation is as high as the heavens, it doesn’t matter. In fact, he is not a human being. At some point, he should have his own space.
Watching Zhou Shen leave quietly, Jin Quanxiu looked up at the sky of the fairy city again. Even though he had not yet reached the realm of the Nascent Soul Lord, he felt the difference in the heavenly secrets at this time.
Suppress and kill!
But it also contains a vague sense of vitality.
I'm afraid that the age of great strife has really come, and I don't know if the Wanshou Immortal City will be a river of blood and whether it will survive safely.
Even if it's him, it's just a chess piece. As Zhou Shen said, thinking too much is useless.
Let nature take its course.
Bu Nao looked at the direction Zhou Shen was leaving, a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but what about Bu Nao, if there was really a life and death crisis, he would ask for the greatest protection from him before he died.
Hope everything goes well.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
prison.
Zhou Shen was still at work. He didn't want to get involved in the crime at all, he just wanted to be a jailer in peace and content with the world.
It is best to wait until he is old and pass on his position to the eastern generation. In the eyes of the Zhou family, peace is not a blessing.
As for Bu Nao, early tomorrow morning, he had just left east and had not had time to inspect the prison as usual when he received the secondment order from the city lord's palace.
Some jailers in the city lord's palace need to cooperate with the city lord's foreign affairs office to collect taxes in the city. This has never been done with such fanfare before.
It seems that Suwu City Lord Na Yibu Ming Oubao wants to collect more immortal cultivation resources as soon as possible before the slow outbreak of big paralysis, so as to speed up his own cultivation.
Because of Su Wu's behavior in Bu Nao, the atmosphere in the entire fairy city has become more and more exciting. Most people in this world are always fighting.
Competing for resources, competing for opportunities, everything is a struggle for the path of cultivating immortality...
Zhou Shen, a small jailer, was offered a secondment by the city lord's palace, so naturally he couldn't refuse, so he accepted the order honestly.
After he set off with the collection team, the commander looked at the collection scope that Yidong was responsible for and began to directly assign tasks.
"Zhou Shen, that area is within the area where my Zhou family's residence is located. I am not considered a local snake, so leave that area to me."
"Here!"
At this moment, after receiving the command from the commander, Zhou Shenlian went to agree to Donglai. Although his expression did not change at all, he was slightly excited in his heart.
Why did he suddenly feel a sign of good luck in his heart? Could there be some opportunity waiting for him? At this moment, Zhou Shen's heart was far from as calm as it appeared.
Soon he would calm down and come back. If there is a chance, just let nature take its course, otherwise he would definitely not leave.
After returning to the east, Zhou Shen returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and together with two fellow jailers, he began to collect taxes one after another.
As for the storage bags where taxes were collected on the spot, Zhou Shen and the other three were not worried at all. Who dares to rob the city lord's palace and seek death!?
The tax collection went smoothly until we were in front of a deep courtyard, where the owner seemed not to be there.
When Zhou Shen was thinking about whether to go to another house first or not before coming back, he just turned around and didn't go far when he happened to meet the monk who had paid taxes before.
Zhou Shen didn't pay much attention at first. An idea flashed in his mind and he asked with a smile: "That fellow Taoist, do you know where the fellow Taoist in the courtyard ahead is?"
After all, Zhou Shen is now a vassal of the city lord's palace. The wrong party immediately replied, "Did I say Fellow Daoist Liang? At this time, he should take his servants and listen to books in the corner tavern."
Zhou Shen immediately thanked him and did not go to Dong's family to collect taxes. Seeing his appearance, the other two people knew that he was the main tax collector in this area, so they would not go wrong.
Could it be that no one knew that Zhou Shen's heart was filled with turmoil, because when he heard the words Liang Daoyou, a good omen suddenly broke out in his heart.
Not surprisingly, Fellow Taoist Liang took advantage of this auspicious opportunity. When he arrived at the tavern, before he asked the shopkeeper who was Fellow Taoist Liang, his eyes were attracted by a monk.
This person is not against them, he is against Liang Sheng.
When Liang Sheng saw Zhou Shen, he felt a little fluttered in his heart, just like the similar flower Chu Chen saw when he was mortal.
