"Huh?" Jiang Xiaogong frowned. Apparently he didn't expect that the third elder was not here. He lowered his head and thought for a while, seeming to be a little hesitant, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Never mind! Jiang Zhou, you can go directly with me.
See the Supreme Elder!"
"Yeah!" For Jiang Zhou, there is no difference whether he is the third elder or the supreme elder, so Jiang Xiaogong said it, and Jiang Zhou just nodded.
Seeing Jiang Zhou's appearance, Jiang Xiaogong knew what Jiang Zhou was thinking, but he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he pulled Jiang Zhou and said carefully: "Jiang Zhou, when you go to see the Supreme Elder later,
You must not mess around! You must also be polite when treating the Supreme Elder! In terms of seniority, the Supreme Elder is your father and my great-uncle! He is also the oldest elder in our Qidong lineage! You are a Qidong disciple, and you should be treated as such.
The Supreme Elder must be respectful, otherwise, if you offend the Supreme Elder and punish you, even I won’t be able to protect you!"
Although he had not known Jiang Xiaogong for a long time, Jiang Zhou could still feel that the other party really cared about him. Hearing that Jiang Xiaogong was so cautious, Jiang Zhou hesitated for a moment, but nodded. When he saw
Jiang Zhou nodded in agreement, and Jiang Xiaogong breathed a sigh of relief and led Jiang Zhou towards the back of the house again.
The two of them came to the back of the whole house one after another. When they came into view, Jiang Zhou only saw a large courtyard. The courtyard door was closed tightly, so he couldn't see what was inside the courtyard. In front of the courtyard door, one on the left and one on the left.
There are two burly men guarding the right side, but they look exactly the same!
Seeing Jiang Xiaogong coming, these two men did not immediately salute Jiang Xiaogong like other people in the house. Instead, Jiang Xiaogong took a step forward, clasped his fists at the two men and said: "You two! Come here, Lao Jiu."
Pay my respects to the Supreme Elder! If you have any trouble, please let me know!"
"Master Jiu, you're so polite!" The two men didn't really turn a blind eye to Jiang Xiaogong. They bowed to Jiang Xiaogong at the same time. The man on the left turned around and opened the door and went in, leaving the man on the right still standing straight.
Standing there with a waist.
While waiting at the door, Jiang Xiaogong also introduced the man standing at the door to Jiang Zhou: "Jiang Zhou, these two are also masters of our seven holes. By the way, Jiang Cheng, who I sent to protect you before,
, Jiang Wu was taught by these two, if we talk about seniority, you should call them uncles!"
"Master Jiu, you're so polite! I don't dare to take this seriously!" After hearing Jiang Xiaogong's words, the man's face also showed a slight change, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Zhou was also different. To put it simply, they were just guarding the gate for the Supreme Elder.
Although they are gatekeepers, their status is definitely not low in the Qidong family of the Jiang family. They don't need to take the ordinary direct descendants of the Jiang family seriously, let alone the affectionate titles of uncles and nephews.
Jiang Xiaogong would not be unaware of this, but now he asked Jiang Zhou to call them uncles. This shows that this young man who seems to be of low strength has an extraordinary identity! Together with the Jiang Family Seventh Cave, Jiang Xiaogong is here.
There were only Jiang Xiaogong and Lao Qi who died in southern Xinjiang that year. The man immediately guessed Jiang Zhou’s identity and was even more shocked!
Although the Jiang family has flourished and has many children, those who really hold the power of the Jiang family are still a handful of direct descendants of the Jiang family, and the number of direct descendants of the Jiang family in Qidong is even pitiful. By the time of the next generation of Jiang Xiaogong
, because Jiang Xiaogong has been so obsessed with cultivation these years that he has never married a wife, let alone given birth to the next generation! With Jiang Zhou's appearance, doesn't it mean that the successor to the next generation of the Jiang family's Seventh Cave is just the one in front of him?
A boy in the realm of the Immortal King?
Although he was surprised, the man still kept the indifference on his face and just nodded towards Jiang Zhou. At this time, with another squeak, another man walked out of the yard and faced Jiang Xiao.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Master Jiu! The Supreme Elder invites you!"
Jiang Xiaogong thanked him, and then pulled Jiang Zhou straight into the courtyard gate. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Jiang Zhou saw a scene that was different from the ordinary courtyard. He saw that the courtyard was completely empty, and there were even no rooms.
There are no side rooms, except for the surrounding courtyard walls, there is only a huge hole in the center of the yard, and a stone step extends from the hole to the ground, plunged into darkness.
Jiang Xiaogong was not as surprised as Jiang Zhou, but was used to it. He turned around and explained to Jiang Zhou: "The Supreme Elder has been in retreat all year round, so he is in the underground retreat room!"
Jiang Zhou nodded. He himself had already entered the ranks of immortal cultivators and was naturally immune to all kinds of strange things. Jiang Xiaogong took the lead as usual, and Jiang Zhou followed closely behind him. The two of them walked directly along the path.
He walked up the stone steps towards the cave.
From the outside, the cave was pitch black, but once he walked in, Jiang Zhou discovered that the stone walls on the left and right of the cave were inlaid with things that looked like luminous pearls, emitting a faint light, although it was not bright.
But it’s enough to see the path under your feet clearly.
After walking down the stone steps for about three sticks of incense, I finally reached the end, where there was a dark stone door. Jiang Xiaogong did not push the stone door immediately, but bowed to the stone door first.
, said loudly: "Lao Jiu asks for an audience! Please grant your permission, Taishang Elder!"
Jiang Xiaogong's attitude also surprised Jiang Zhou behind him. How strong Jiang Xiaogong is can be seen in the battle at Black Mountain. Such a strong person has now become so respectful.
Qian, you can see what kind of person the Supreme Elder is behind this sect! Of course, this does not mean that this Supreme Elder is definitely stronger than Jiang Xiaogong, but Jiang Xiaogong definitely respects this Supreme Elder sincerely.
"Old Jiu! Come in!" An old voice sounded, but although this voice was old, it was unexpectedly loud and full of energy. If it weren't for the hint of hoarseness and vicissitudes in the tone, it would have sounded like a young man's.
The sound is no different!
"Come with me!" Jiang Xiaogong just turned around and told Jiang Zhou, pushed the stone door open with both hands, and then led Jiang Zhou straight into the stone door.
Inside the stone door is a very ordinary-looking stone room. The stone room is not big, and the decoration inside is simple. There is only a stone table and a few stone chairs placed in the middle. On the inside of the stone room, there is also a
On the stone couch, a figure sat cross-legged on the couch.
This person is wearing a simple and loose gray robe. Because he is sitting cross-legged on the couch, you can't see how tall he is. Only his upper body is stooped and his beard and hair are white, indicating that this person is very old.
Under the illumination of several lights on the stone wall, the other party's pale face full of wrinkles was revealed.
As soon as he saw this person's appearance, Jiang Zhou knew that the other person must be the Supreme Elder. Then, he saw Jiang Xiaogong bowing to the old man and said, "Lao Jiu has met the Supreme Elder.
!”
"Okay! Laojiu! You are the cave master of our seventh cave now, so you don't need to be so polite to me, an old immortal!" The elder Taishang smiled with a smile on his face, and slightly raised his drooping head.
With his eyelids, he said to Jiang Xiaogong: "If you really respect me as an immortal, then you will cause me less trouble in the future and let me rest here in seclusion until I die!"
"The elder is joking!" Jiang Xiaogong seemed to have been used to the Taishang Elder's strange words for a long time. He just smiled lightly, but he was not angry because of it. Instead, he responded with a smile: "The elder is still young and will grow old in the future.
If there’s something you don’t understand, or if there’s something you can’t handle well, you still need to ask the elders to help!”
"That's all! You won't let go of my old bones! Tell me! What trouble did you have to come to me today?" After listening to Jiang Xiaogong's words, the elder Taishang waved his hands in displeasure.
, after finishing speaking, those old eyes turned to Jiang Zhou. As the eyes moved to him, Jiang Zhou immediately felt shocked, as if all the secrets in his body were analyzed by the other party!
"Elder! He is the son of my seventh brother!" As if he was aware of the Supreme Elder's scrutiny of Jiang Zhou, Jiang Xiaogong took a step forward, but stood in front of Jiang Zhou, stopping the Supreme Elder from looking at him.
Jiang Zhou's gaze was blocked by Jiang Xiaogong. Jiang Zhou was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly he was sweating profusely, as if he had experienced a big battle!
This is the strength of the Taishang Elder! Jiang Zhou was breathing heavily, but his heart was full of panic! Although this kind of strength may not be stronger than Jiang Xiaogong, it is definitely much stronger than Jiang Cheng. Needless to say, this Taishang
Elder Shang must have entered that realm of immortality!
Regarding the matter of this Immortal Realm, Jiang Zhou also heard it mentioned in the conversation between Jiang Xiaogong and Liu Qihai during the Battle of Black Mountain. Later, Jiang Zhou did not take the initiative to ask, and Jiang Xiaogong did not take the initiative to talk about it, so this doubt remained.
Until now. But what Jiang Zhou can be sure of is that this Immortal Realm must be a realm more powerful than the Immortal King. As for what kind of realm it is, it is unknown.
"Haha!" Just when Jiang Zhou was thinking wildly, the Supreme Elder laughed and no longer looked at Jiang Zhou with that weird look. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xiaogong with a smile and said, "He is Lao Qi's child.
?Are you really sure? With such low strength, it doesn’t look like Lao Qi’s kind!"
"He has been wandering around since he was a child, without the guidance of his elders. It is already remarkable that he can achieve what he has achieved now!" Jiang Xiaogong did not doubt Jiang Zhou's intention at all. On the contrary, when he said this, he turned his head and looked at it.
He glanced at Jiang Zhou, his eyes full of pity, then turned back and said to the Supreme Elder with pride: "But even so, he is worthy of being my seventh brother's bloodline! Although he is not strong in cultivating immortals,
But he is already a true high-level alchemy master, and he is also a weapon refiner! With such an achievement, I am afraid that the disciples of the emperor trained by those families can only achieve this!"
"Oh?" As soon as Jiang Xiaogong finished speaking, the Supreme Elder was also a little surprised. His eyelids that were half drooped immediately opened a lot, his eyes brightened, and he looked towards Jiang Zhou again, but this time
The ordinary gaze did not make Jiang Zhou feel any discomfort. After a moment, the Supreme Elder curled his lips and said slowly and leisurely: "I didn't expect that the son born by that bastard Lao Qi would not be very good at cultivating immortals.
This is so heresy!"
"Three thousand roads lead to the same destination through different paths!" Regarding the Supreme Elder's evaluation, Jiang Xiaogong said without comment, and then said: "Besides, now that he has returned to the Jiang family, he has the family's resources to train him.
Do you still need to worry about his cultivation?"
"Yeah! That makes some sense!" The Supreme Elder nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Zhou and said to Jiang Zhou: "Boy! Come here! Let me see!"
Although the tone of the Taishang Elder's words was not very polite, Jiang Zhou didn't mean to be angry because of his seniority. He just looked at each other with Jiang Xiaogong, then took a few steps forward and walked to the Taishang Elder.
In front of him, he bowed to the Supreme Elder and said, "Young man has met the elder!"
After looking at Jiang Zhou up and down, the Supreme Elder nodded first, then shook his head, and suddenly said: "The White Lotus Immortal's kung fu is pretty good, but since I want to go back to the Jiang family, this Red Lotus Technique is suitable."
He is no longer a descendant of our Jiang family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Zhou could be surprised that his martial art was seen through by the Supreme Elder, the Supreme Elder suddenly raised his wrinkled hands and waved them towards Jiang Zhou! Suddenly, Jiang Zhou felt
After receiving heavy blows all over his body, a mouthful of scarlet fever immediately surged into his throat, and his whole body flew backwards and hit the stone wall hard.
"Elder!" Jiang Xiaogong obviously didn't expect that the Supreme Elder would suddenly attack Jiang Zhou, and was shocked. When he reacted, Jiang Zhou was already half-kneeling on the ground, opening his mouth and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
His face also turned pale!
Seeing that Jiang Zhou was injured, Jiang Xiaogong's face suddenly turned livid. In an instant, powerful spiritual pressure burst out from his body. He walked in front of Jiang Zhou in one stride, stared at the Supreme Elder closely, and shouted coldly:
: "Elder, what does this mean?"
Feeling the killing intent emanating from Jiang Xiaogong, the Supreme Elder remained unmoved at all. After a moment, he said hehe: "Old Jiu, Old Jiu, after so many years, why are you still the same as when you were young?
Impulsive! Let’s take a look at that kid first!”
Being stunned by what the Supreme Elder said, Jiang Xiaogong also subconsciously put away a little bit of his spiritual pressure. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhou, but found that Jiang Zhou had slowly stood up and was busy.
Asked: "Jiang Zhou! How are you?"
Just now, Jiang Zhou felt that his whole body was very uncomfortable, but now, Jiang Zhou only felt that there was no serious problem in his whole body. However, when he subconsciously wanted to activate the spiritual power in his body, he discovered that the Red Lotus Technique that he had practiced before was actually
It couldn't work at all! Such a huge change immediately made Jiang Zhou's expression change drastically. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, trying his luck. But no matter how hard Jiang Zhou tried, the Red Lotus Technique couldn't work anyway.
!
Seeing Jiang Zhou's expression was ugly, Jiang Xiaogong thought Jiang Zhou had been seriously injured. The spiritual pressure that had just been relaxed exploded again. He turned his head, glared at the Supreme Elder, and shouted: "Elder! I want one.
reason!"
"It's just that the skills on his body have been removed, but his cultivation has not been abolished! Lao Jiu, why are you so concerned about it?" The elder Taishang shook his head indifferently, glanced at Jiang Zhou, and said: "
How can the children of the Jiang family practice other techniques! Great Immortal White Lotus is just a wild cultivator in the border area. Throughout his life, he will be nothing more than an immortal. What is the future of practicing his techniques!"
The Great Immortal White Lotus, who was praised by Ying Hong at the beginning, was so unlucky in the mouth of the Taishang Elder. Hearing this, Jiang Zhou was also shocked. And after hearing the words of the Taishang Elder, Jiang Xiaogong also slowly put away his spiritual pressure.
, turned his head and put his hand on Jiang Zhou, carefully explored Jiang Zhou's body, then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to the Supreme Elder, and said: "Lao Jiu is impulsive and rude to the elder, please
Forgive me, elder!"
"Okay! After all these years, you have started acting impulsively today! But you are now the cave master of our seventh cave. It is best to think more about the consequences of your actions in the future!" The elder Taishang said with an annoyed look on his face.
He waved his hand and said: "My name is Jiang Zhou, right? Well, since I have returned to the family, I will bring it to worship my ancestors. Even if I become a descendant of the Jiang family, I will join the clan in one month!"
Jiang Xiaogong brought Jiang Zhou here just to get the approval of the Supreme Elder! Now that the Supreme Elder has spoken, at least in the Qidong lineage, no one dares to question Jiang Zhou's identity anymore.
Jiang Xiaogong also had a happy face, and immediately bowed to the Supreme Elder and said, "Lao Jiu, thank you very much for your support!"
The Supreme Elder didn't say anything more. He waved his hand, and his drooped eyelids were completely drooped. Seeing the Supreme Elder's actions, Jiang Xiaogong naturally understood, took a few steps back, and pulled Jiang Zhou up.
He turned around and left the stone room.
After coming out of the stone room, the two of them walked directly back to the courtyard along the stone steps. After walking out of the cave, Jiang Xiaogong immediately let out a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of something on his mind. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Zhou
With a puzzled and depressed look on his face, Jiang Xiaogong also smiled slightly and said, "Are you a little unhappy?"
Of course Jiang Zhou was unhappy. He had worked so hard to practice the Red Lotus Technique for so long, and finally broke through to the second level, and now he was scrapped just because someone said it was useless. If it weren't for the spiritual pressure of the Taishang Elder who was too strong at that time, Jiang Zhou
Zhou was so suppressed that he couldn't move at all. It's hard to say that Jiang Zhou even thought about stepping forward and fighting for his life! Just when Jiang Xiaogong asked, Jiang Zhou could only nod, but he didn't even want to say more.
.
Seeing Jiang Zhou's appearance, Jiang Xiaogong also laughed and said: "Actually, not only the Supreme Elder, I wanted to abolish the Red Lotus Technique on you from the beginning, but my method was too strong, I'm afraid
I hurt you, that’s why I didn’t do anything! I also agree with the Supreme Elder abolishing your technique!"
When Jiang Xiaogong said this, Jiang Zhou was also shocked. He stared at Jiang Xiaogong with wide eyes and a look of disbelief. It took him a long time to calm down, and he immediately asked: "Why?
Isn’t the Red Lotus Technique I practiced a very good technique? Why should I abolish it?”
