Chapter 53 Past Events, the Mystery of the River God
It is the end of the year again, the county and city are bustling with people and the streets are bustling.
The busy city is noisy and the thoroughfares are alleys.
This was an eye-opener for Tian Ming'an, who came to the county town for the first time.
“How do you feel about this county?” Jiang Sheng asked with a smile
Tian Ming'an said: "Returning to Master, my disciple only felt that it was very lively and the people were extremely dense."
"Yes, when there are dense people, there will be chaos. A big city with such a large population can give How much incense does the River God provide?" Jiang Sheng looked at the busy traffic in front of him.
The power of millions of people burning incense every year is undoubtedly an astonishing figure.
The creatures at the bottom of the Taiping River need so much incense power, and God knows what shocking deeds they are going to accomplish.
Taking out a greeting card from his sleeve, Jiang Sheng handed it to Tian Ming'an: "Ming'an, go and send the greeting card to Master, saying that Master will visit the Cha family tomorrow."
"Yes, Master." Tian Ming'an took the invitation and disappeared into the crowd not long after.
The Cha family is the only Zifu family in East County, so it occupies the best location in the county.
The Cha family's mansion is located on the widest street in Nancheng, Dongjun, and the family occupies one street.
The whole mansion has extraordinary grandeur, with its animal-headed gate, red tower and carved railings, and Chongyu Courtyard. It is even more grand than the county governor's government office.
As the strongest family in the entire East County, the children of the Cha family have a sense of arrogance. Even the gate guards are four family monks who are in the middle stage of Qi training.
As the home of the Cha family, this street was rarely visited by casual cultivators in the past. Most of them were monks from other foundation-building families.
But today, a young boy with only the third level of Qi training came to this street and went straight to the main entrance of Cha's house.
"Where did you come from? What are you doing in front of the Cha family?"
A monk from the Cha family stepped forward and asked.
Tian Ming'an was not afraid of this monk from the Cha family whose cultivation was obviously higher than his own. He took out the invitation card and said loudly: "Tian Ming'an, a Qi practitioner from Qingxuan Temple, came here to pay homage to his master. Post, the tutor will come to visit tomorrow.”
"Qingxuan Temple? Qingxuan Temple?!"
The Cha family disciple was stunned: "But Qingping Mountain, Qingxuan Temple?"
Tian Ming'an nodded: "Exactly."< br>
"You guys, please take this little Taoist priest to the concierge to rest and drink tea, and I'll deliver the letter." The disciple of the Cha family in charge didn't dare to slack off, so he ordered Iban to rush in to report.
Not long after, the person in charge came back and showed a smile to Tian Ming'an: "Little Taoist Priest, please come back to your respected master. Tomorrow, the Cha family will welcome guests at the front door."
The main entrance to welcome guests is of high standard.
Ordinary guests who come to Zha's house can only go through the side door. Casual cultivators and the like can't even get in through the side door and can only use the small door.
Now that Jiang Sheng came to visit, the Cha family actually opened the front door to welcome guests, which showed that the Cha family valued Jiang Sheng.
At midnight the next day, the front door of Cha's house opened, and Zha Liangping personally greeted Jiang Sheng at the door.
When Jiang Sheng arrived with Tian Ming'an, Zha Liangping felt the energy in Jiang Sheng and almost lost his voice: How long has it been?
In less than two years, Jiang Sheng actually opened the Zifu?
Even after sensing Jiang Sheng's level, Zha Liangping still found it hard to believe: "Director Jiang, you"
"There are some opportunities, not worth mentioning." Jiang Sheng smiled.
Zha Liangping came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to signal: "Director Jiang, please."
Entering Cha's house, he looked at the pavilions, gardens and pavilions of Cha's house. Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "The Cha family is indeed the first aristocratic family in Dongjun. Their heritage is indeed extraordinary."
"The Cha family is trapped in Dongjun, so there are only these left, which are not worth mentioning." Although Zha Liangping said this, his expression was obviously very useful.
Leading Jiang Sheng to the vestibule, Zha Liang felt that Jiang Sheng's aura had also come out in person: "I've heard for a long time that there are Taoist masters hiding in Qingping Mountain. Seeing them is better than hearing them a hundred times. Seeing them today is really extraordinary. "
"Pindao has met fellow Taoist Zha, and he came to visit us rashly today. I'm sorry," Jiang Sheng said with a smile.
"Taoist Priest can come, and the Zha family is full of glory. Why bother to say, please." Zha Liangcai said and invited Jiang Sheng to come in and take a seat.
A few people sat on both sides, and after a round of tea, Zha Liangcai finally asked: "Taoist Master came here today, what do you mean?"
"Pindao came here naturally because of the Taiping River." Jiang Sheng said.
Zha Liangcai looked at Jiang Sheng and then at Zha Liangping.
Zha Liangping knowingly dispersed the waiting servants, and then saw Zha Liangcai and Jiang Sheng teaming up to set up a magic barrier to block outside prying eyes.
Sighing, Zha Liangcai sighed: "If I want to come, the Taoist priest will only come here because of this incident."
"Speaking of it, I have a chance of living a crazy life. He barely entered the late stage of the Zi Mansion, but the Taoist Master clearly entered the Zi Mansion, but his strength is no longer inferior to me.”
"The Taoist priest has already opened up Zi Mansion in his early twenties. I think he will become a golden elixir within a few years. Why are you limited to the present?"
Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment and said: "It's just unwillingness."
< br>"There is a strong enemy on the side. If you run away in a hurry before taking action, then the poor Taoist will stop here in his life."
Zha Liangcai smiled: "I have seen the Taoist priest's character. Here we are. Using Zi Mansion to attack Jin Dan is not as easy as building a foundation to deal with Zi Mansion."
Jiang Sheng took a sip from the tea cup and said slowly: "The difference between Zi Mansion and Jin Dan. , Pindao knows it. The golden elixir is on the road, even if it is a low-grade golden elixir, it is powerful enough to destroy mountains. But Pindao will be unwilling to give it a try."
Zha Liangcai nodded: "In that case, I don't mind telling the Taoist priest about that person."
"Speaking of which, I met him forty years ago."
After Zha Liangcai’s narration, Jiang Sheng gained a little more understanding of the river god in the Taiping River. According to Zha Liangcai, when he happened to pass by the Taiping River forty years ago, he sensed something strange in the river. After investigating, he found out that there was an extra river god in the river.
Because the aura of the river god was difficult to capture and his strength fluctuated, Zha Liangcai was unable to confirm what kind of cultivation the river god had.
But it is certain that the River God has become stronger and stronger over the years.
After listening to Zha Liangcai’s narration, Jiang Sheng couldn’t help but think deeply.
In the past, the strength fluctuated up and down, and then gradually stabilized. The situation of the River God must have been poor at that time, and it has only improved in recent years.
This seems to explain why only a clone from the early stage of Zifu was sent.
Thinking again about the clones and the River God Festival arranged in the thirteen counties of Dongjun, a flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Sheng's mind: "Friend Daoist Cha, has there been any movement about the River God in the past two years?"< br>
Cha Liangcai shook his head.
Jiang Sheng finally showed a smile: "The incense festival was held in thirteen counties and lasted for fifty years. Obviously, the person must have been seriously injured at that time, so his aura fluctuated."
“And these fifty years of incense sacrifice should be a life-changing method for that person.”
“What kind of injury can make a golden elixir creature have to sink into this five-year period? There has been no movement for ten years?”
Zha Liangcai pondered: “I have had these thoughts too”
"Speaking of which, over the years, I have also felt that that person is getting stronger and stronger, so I have tried several times, but unfortunately I have found nothing."
"But I still got some information."
Jiang Sheng looked at Zha Liangcai: "Do you have any extra gains from fellow Taoist Zha?"
Zha Liangcai said faintly: "That one suddenly appeared in the Taiping River fifty years ago."
“According to the fact that I have sent people to inquire in many ways, that person seems to have come from the south.”
"South of Qingzhou? In the direction of Qingyun Sect?" Zha Liangping was a little surprised.
Zha Liangcai looked at Jiang Sheng with complicated eyes again: "Director Jiang may not know something. Fifty years ago, the former head of Qingyun Sect, Sun Chang, the real person of Qingming, was in danger outside and returned to Qingyun on the verge of death. Zong, handed over the sect to the current sect master."
Jiang Sheng's expression finally changed: "What do you mean by fellow Taoist Zha?"
Zha Liangcai's words were not surprising: " If the information I found out is correct, not long after the man suddenly fell into the Taiping River, Qingyun Sect announced that Qing Ming had become immortal."
Jiang Sheng nodded: "If that is really the case, then that's okay. It’s more complicated.”
Things can't stand the thought of being thought about. After thinking about two seemingly unrelated things, the relationship between them is inextricably linked and difficult to sort out.
Zha Liangcai gave Jiang Sheng a warning: "Although I don't know how terrifying the golden elixir creatures are, I think that what is enough to make the golden elixir creatures sink for half a hundred years must be a serious injury that is difficult to heal, or even It may damage the foundation. "
"The one who has not shown up now may not have returned to his peak strength. After all, he has also lost a clone."
Jiang Sheng Ruoyue. Thinking: "So, it is possible that Pindao killed one of his clones, causing him to have to spend more time recovering?"
Zha Liangcai said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it is also possible that The position has already been restored, just waiting for the opportunity.”
"In any case, Taoist Priest can go to Qingyun Sect to find out the news. If Qingyun Sect's goal is too big, Taoist Priest can also go to Lanyue Sect and ask."
When Jiang Sheng came out of Zizha's house, Jiang Sheng Instead of being relieved after getting the answer to the riddle, his expression became even more solemn.
The matter of the River God seems to be getting weirder and weirder as the news revealed by the Cha family.
Originally Jiang Sheng just thought it was some golden elixir hiding in the Taiping River practicing magic to repair injuries.
Now it also involves Qingyun Sect, one of the three major sects in Qingzhou.
Qingyun Sect is not an ordinary thing.
It occupies one-third of Qingzhou's territory. Even though it experienced the turmoil of the change of sect leaders fifty years ago, it is still extremely powerful today.
The contemporary sect master Qingyu Zhenren Sun Yu is truly in the realm of golden elixir.
There are five elders from Qingyun Sect and Zifu Realm.
If he went to the Qingyun Sect to find out some information, if he really found out some secrets, Jiang Sheng would probably be left behind by the Qingyun Sect.
After thinking about it, Jiang Sheng decided to go to Lanyue Sect first to find an acquaintance and ask for news.
"Master, is the River God really involved in the Qingyun Sect?" Tian Ming'an asked.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Tian Ming'an: "So what if it's involved, so what if it's not involved?"
"The beam has been forged, it's useless to think about it so much."
< br>"Master, can't we reconcile with the other party?" Tian Ming'an asked.
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Reconciliation? Why do you want to reconcile with him?"
"Do you know how much it costs to reconcile?"
"Opportunities and avenues cannot come from reconciliation."
The first update is here.
By the way, why do I update more and more late?
Starting tomorrow, we will start updating on time. Don’t wait until the early morning.
