The sword is the devil

Chapter 237 Independent River City
King Luo Lin and Rao Zongzhi suddenly found out that the mentor and junior brother had suddenly disappeared.I left a note saying that I was going out to visit friends, and then I disappeared.

The two of them were not worried either, they were both experienced practitioners with certain strength and the ability to take care of themselves, they were not children, and they needed someone to protect them.

In fact, the two of them went their separate ways throughout the day. Except for meeting up for a drink when they came back at night, they also acted alone most of the time, and there was no real difference between them and Hou Tiao's departure.

The orthodoxy of sword cultivation means that the more one cultivates, the more independent one becomes.

...The city of God is the capital of Anhe, a well-known male city in the southwest. It owns one state among the five states of Anhe Kingdom. Although it is the smallest in area, it is the most affluent. There are dozens of small cities around it, all of which are economically developed and unique. Not one.

Among them is a city, which is located on the bank of the Qingcang River, with water and land transportation, and a cloud of merchants. It is named Jiangcheng.

Those who can live comfortably in Jiangcheng will never be able to live without a certain amount of strength. Wealth, status, and practitioners must account for at least the same amount.

Today, in Linjiangfang, the best location in Jiangcheng, the Xie family's mansion has been newly built. There are many congratulatory guests, and there are many people around;

The Xie family, who was originally a wealthy family in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, usually bows and bows when entering the city, has suddenly become prosperous recently.Dare to buy land and build a house in Linjiangfang, where every inch of land is expensive, and open the door to build a mansion. There is no strong support behind this, so don't even think about it.

The city is small, and the news can't be hidden from anyone. Soon, the news that there are monks in the Xie family who have contributed to the Taoist court and will soon be activated spread throughout Jiangcheng.

Wealthy?You can go up and take a bite.

Aloof status?There is always entertainment, blending, and human relations.

But if you are a practitioner with potential, then don't mention anything. No one on the ground in Jiangcheng would dare to disagree. Except for flattery, they can only spit out a few strange words after drinking, and curse a few words.

It was mid-autumn, the wild geese were returning from the south, and the rain was beginning to clear; after some rain, the house looked more elegant and unique, with a unique artistic conception, and there was another beautiful scenery in the luxury residential area of ​​Jiangcheng.

The housekeepers and servants are too busy, and the wealthy landowners from the countryside are a bit inferior in etiquette. Although they have invited all kinds of people to help them, there are still frequent situations and jokes.

But no one dared to make a joke, the guests were very courteous, they hid the pride of Jiangcheng people deeply, and showed 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 practice. They know that if the family becomes famous and accomplished monks, it will at least keep the family prosperous for a hundred years. If there is a second practitioner, the family will be well established in Jiangcheng If you stand firm, you are still standing in the most powerful top circle.

The middle door was wide open, with red silk lanterns, Mr. Xie’s old man was wearing new clothes, and the sons behind him greeted the guests with smiles; the secretary next to him was writing with weak hands, and most of the endless gifts were never seen before. Never heard of it.

Mr. Xie couldn't see his brows with a smile. He never thought that he would have this day. Those big figures in Jiangcheng who used to be annoyed even kneeling and worshiping others were presenting gifts for him one by one, all kinds of greetings, It's like an old friend for many years.

He knew exactly why all this was happening.

"Is it really good if the fourth brother doesn't come to receive him?"

The eldest son raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't need the fourth brother to come forward to show them face? Father, don't worry, the present is different from the past, and the Xie family is not what it used to be. I have been very considerate in terms of etiquette to take care of me; if the fourth brother comes forward again in the future In the last step, even your father doesn’t have to laugh with you in front of the door, once you sit in the grand teacher’s chair in the hall, why don’t the people who flatter you line up to the riverside from here?”

Several Xie family members just laughed, and what they said was not rough, that's the reason.

The fourth and fourth brother they mentioned is the star of hope of the Xie family, Xie Chaoyang.Since stepping into the cultivation path, he has been brave and diligent all the way, and the journey has been smooth; recently he has been appreciated by a big man in the Taoist sect, and I heard that he will be given a great opportunity, and he hopes to make further progress.

Of course, they don't know the specific opportunity, but just looking at the pursuit of these big figures in Jiangcheng all the way, it is not easy to think that this opportunity is coming, right?

Xie Jia, I really want to develop.

The front yard was very busy, but the backyard garden was quiet and silent. A Taoist stood under the transplanted green pine, looked around, and frowned.

Although this pine tree is an ordinary thing, there is no such pine tree on the ground in Jiangcheng. It was transported from the buried hill at a high price, and even the soil under the pine is the soil of the buried hill, just for the growth of the pine tree.

The family didn't understand why it was so expensive to transport the tree, but as long as it was something he ordered, no one in the whole family dared to question it.

Of course they don't understand, this is very metaphorical, because his Taoist name is Xiaosong.

Dawn welcomes the light, standing upright like a pine.

However, this pine seems to be a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, and I don’t know why. It seems that I have to go to the Taoist sect to find a brother who is proficient in spiritual plants and cultivate it well; this pine is here, and it would be unlucky to die here. .

Shensi was a bit out of place, and I didn't know if it was the influence of the pine tree. Listening to the noise outside, I wondered if there would be some rules in the family in the future.

He is now in the critical stage of the bridge, and he is only a small step away from going to another level, but this step is also the most difficult step.

A teacher in the Taoist school who is optimistic about him has contacted the best Jinjing Dongtian in Anhe Taoist for him. As long as he enters it, he can experience the feeling of reaching the sky, which is of great help to his upper realm.

The Tonglingdongtian is the secret treasure of the Anhe Dao Sect. It can help monks to go to the profound realm. It is said that the success rate can be increased by [-]%. Chance, but the psychic cave is only opened once every three years, and only nine people can enter at a time. The number of places is really limited. If it wasn't because of his great achievements, how could such an opportunity fall on him?

I feel a little irritable in my heart, as long as I think about it, I feel uncomfortable and feel a little guilty.

But every time he blames himself like this, there is another voice in his mind reminding him that the path of practice is a path where people step on others, if you don't step on others, people will come to step on you.

Suddenly there was a warning sign in my heart, and I looked up, and there was a man in black with a sword on his back standing on the high back garden wall, full of murderous intent, and he didn't hide it at all.

Moreover, the face seems a little familiar?
The man in black slowly drew out his long sword, "Senior Brother Xiaosong, on behalf of Daoist Ling, I am here to congratulate you on the housewarming!"

With a vertical movement of the body, the light of the sword flashed...

Taoist Xiaosong let out a long sigh, the retribution came too fast, this pine tree was moved by Meng Lang, it is not something Lingzhi Master can solve, the problem is at the root!

The blood was scattered and the head fell to the ground.

... The words before the side wind of the geese, the love after the rain.I don't know whose family is standing in Jiangcheng with a sword.
