Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 17 Everything is in chaos and everyone is troubled

Jiang Sheng himself has a very good character and a rare talent. He has never encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation.

This is why Jiang Sheng likes peace and quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed by outside objects.

As long as there is no external interference, it will be a matter of course for Jiang Sheng to continue practicing like this until he has accumulated enough money in the later stage of foundation building, and then penetrates the spine of the dragon to open up the Zi Mansion.

In addition, Jiang Sheng's temperament was somewhat cold, neither sad nor happy, and he looked down upon the secular world, so he preferred a life of practicing alone.

Unfortunately, the Daozong elders also saw through Jiang Sheng's character and told Jiang Sheng that if he did not experience the training of the world of mortals and just immersed himself in hard training, had never experienced the seven emotions and six desires, and had never seen all kinds of things in the world, no matter how supremely forgetful his mood would be, he would not be perfect after all.

If there is a gap in the state of mind, starting from Zifu, every major realm in the future will be easily invaded by inner demons.

Whether it is forming a pill, a soul, or a god, it must be extremely dangerous. It is easy to lose oneself and become a puppet of the inner demon or a madman.

Therefore, the elder asked Jiang Sheng to gain more experience in the world of mortals.

However, along the way, Jiang Sheng's Xi Jing temperament still made him choose to establish a dojo in the deep mountains of Qingping Mountain, intending to continue his spiritual practice and ignore foreign affairs in the world of mortals.

Unfortunately, the days of Qingxiu are always difficult to maintain.

Jiang Sheng felt that after entering the world, all kinds of worldly affairs came to disturb him, making it difficult for him to be pure and peaceful.

Just after completing a cycle, a bird landed in front of Jiang Sheng, jumping and chirping, as if it was telling something.

Jiang Sheng, who was practicing, listened to Luo Que's words. After Luo Que finished speaking, he took out a gray elixir from his sleeve, scraped some scraps with his nails and fed it to Luo Que.

The bird happily pecked at the pill fragments, looking very energetic.

Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, let out a sigh: "Why is it so difficult to practice pure cultivation? Maybe the elder had this idea in mind when he asked me to join the world to practice and gain experience."

With that said, Jiang Sheng looked at Tian Ming'an who was still working hard to clear the snow, and called softly:

"Don't worry about the falling snow. Guests are coming. Go and wait at the door."

"Director Jiang, Mr. Zhang came here uninvited. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Zhang Qingyun smiled and saluted, and then glanced at Tian Ming'an who was waiting aside: "The Taoist Master is worthy of being a god. He knew Zhang was coming early and asked his disciples to greet him at the door."

Jiang Sheng looked indifferent: "The disciple the county magistrate said is wrong. He is just a naughty boy who came to the temple to help."

Tian Mingan looked at his nose and heart, as if he was not talking about him.

Zhang Qingyun was really surprised. At such a young age, this young man could have such an indifferent nature. He was really a good prospect.

Even if you can't practice cultivation in the future, you will definitely achieve something if you become an official.

In the front hall again, Zhang Qingyun respectfully offered incense to the portrait before saluting Jiang Sheng.

"The Taoist priest secludes himself in the mountains to practice and doesn't care about worldly affairs. It's really enviable to have such a leisurely life."

"To come here uninvited is like being a bad guest and disturbing Taoist Master's purification. Zhang is feeling uneasy."

Jiang Sheng looked indifferent, sitting cross-legged on the futon, neither sad nor happy: "If the county magistrate really feels guilty, why would he come up to the mountain?"

Zhang Qingyun sighed helplessly: "Taoist priest, if there is really a way, why would Zhang go up the mountain in the snow?"

"Chief Jiang knows that there have been more than ten murder cases in the county, all caused by evil cultivators. These evil cultivators secretly take people's lives and practice evil practices, which has caused panic in Qingshan County."

Jiang Sheng's eyes were slightly closed, indifferent.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng was unmoved, Zhang Qingyun continued: "I originally thought it was just an evil cultivator who came here by chance, but so many murders occurred in a short period of time, which is enough to prove that it was not the work of a few evil cultivators. This matter is absolutely It’s related to the demon in Taiping River!”

"At first, Zhang didn't want to trouble the Taoist priest anymore, so he issued a reward and asked casual cultivators in the city to assist the Yamen in handling the case. Even Fairy Xu Xiao and several foundation builders in the city took action one after another."

As he spoke, Zhang Qingyun slapped his thigh unwillingly: "Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect. There were even some casual cultivators who fell into the tricks of those evil cultivators and injured several people."

"If there is no other way, Zhang really doesn't want to bother the Taoist priest. But now, the only thing left is to ask the Taoist priest to help."

Zhang Qingyun once again bowed deeply.

After a while, Jiang Sheng slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, when you sent me the red fruit gift to invite the poor man to come out, it was for the demons of Taiping River, not for the evil cultivators in Qingshan County."

"The cause of what is happening now lies with you, not Pindao. Is there anything wrong with what Pindao said about this matter?"

Zhang Qingyun nodded, his voice a little dull: "What the Taoist Master said is true. If Zhang Guang hadn't invited the heroes of Qingzhou to help, he wouldn't have been able to alarm the demon, let alone lead to so many evil cultivators rampantly causing trouble."

"However, if we didn't advertise it widely, how could there be dozens of heroes gathered in this small Qingshan County now? As long as Qingshan County wants to kill the demons, trouble will inevitably arise among the demons in the river."

"These incidents are just labor pains. As long as the demon in the river is removed, these evil cultivators will disperse, and Qingshan County will be completely peaceful."

Jiang Sheng tilted his head slightly, his eyelids drooped, and there was no trace of emotion on his jade-like face, as if he was truly made of jade, with no pity at all.

Zhang Qingyun said with some hope: "Taoist Priest, can you go down the mountain to get rid of those evil cultivators for the people of Qingshan County?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head and just sipped the tea slowly.

Zhang Qingyun looked a little unwilling: "Taoist priest really can't have mercy on the innocent people of Qingshan County?"

"Ha." Jiang Sheng chuckled and finally opened his eyes.

"The county magistrate has forgotten the promise he made to Pindao?"

Zhang Qingyun didn't even dare.

Jiang Sheng continued: "That's all, if I don't tell you some truth today, I'm afraid the county magistrate will not be convinced."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng straightened up, turned around and looked at the falling snow on the mountains, his expression indifferent and cold.

"The county magistrate really doesn't understand that the chaos in front of you is just a way for the Taiping River demon to test Qingshan County?"

"Of course Pindao can take action, not only Pindao can take action, but also fellow Taoist Qiao, fellow Taoist Wen, and Young Master Kong Kong can take action."

"But as soon as I take action, all my cultivation and methods will be known to the monster. By then, the monster will have taken precautions. Is there any chance of a surprise attack?"

"Now that several fellow Taoists are not in Qingshan County, aren't they just hiding their plans?"

Zhang Qingyun was stunned and opened his mouth: "But..."

Jiang Sheng continued: "If the county magistrate only wants to solve the current trouble and does not deal with the monsters in the Taiping River, Pindao can go down the mountain now. I guarantee that all those monsters in Qingshan County will be eliminated within three to five days."

"When the time comes to slay demons in the Taiping River, Pindao will no longer be involved."

"Is this what the county magistrate is willing to do?"

Zhang Qingyun wanted to continue persuading, but Jiang Sheng had already raised his hand to see him off: "I am not only thinking about the evil cultivators causing chaos in front of me, but also thinking about the demons in the Taiping River in the future. All the good things have been taken over by the county minister. How can there be such a truth in the world? ?”

"I need to cultivate my sword in Guan Zhongqing during these days. County Lord, please come back."

Zhang Qingyun finally suppressed his original words and stood up with some embarrassment: "Then Zhang will leave. I have disturbed Taoist Master Qingxiu, I am really sorry."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qingyun couldn't help but left in a hurry.

Jiang Sheng glanced at Zhang Qingyun who was leaving, and refilled a cup of tea for himself: "You have been waiting outside for so long, can you still hold on?"

Tian Ming'an, who was standing outside the door, trembled and said quickly: "Reply to the Taoist priest, the boy is okay."

"Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up and continue doing your thing." Jiang Sheng said and got up and returned to the front hall to continue practicing.

Tian Ming'an looked at Jiang Sheng's retreating figure, then at the cup of tea on the table in the room, and quickly went into the room and drank the cup of hot tea in one gulp.

As the hot tea entered his stomach, warmth began to spread from his stomach to his whole body, and his hands and feet, which had been almost numb from the cold outside, regained their warmth.

The original feeling of hunger in the abdomen also disappeared, and there was even a faint sense of energy lingering in the lower abdomen. Unfortunately, the sense of energy was lost in a moment.

Even so, Tian Ming'an was still very excited. He quickly bowed to the front hall and then continued to clear the snow.

Jiang Sheng, who had returned to the front hall at this time, looked at the tall portrait of the founder of the Penglai Kai Sect. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Am I wrong?"

"But what does the life and death of others have to do with me?"

Although he said this, Jiang Sheng still couldn't forget that he was actually just an ordinary creature. He was abandoned in the river when he was still waiting for food and almost drowned.

It was an inner disciple of Dao Sect who accidentally discovered him while traveling.

The inner disciple was already very old at that time. Seeing Jiang Sheng floating in the water, he felt kind-hearted, so he took him back to Penglai and raised him.

These memories were very clear in Jiang Sheng's mind. He had followed the old man since he was a child, watching him practice, practice, and gain enlightenment.

When Jiang Sheng was eight years old, he officially entered Penglai.

Four years of studying literature, six years of practicing qi, and ten years of time to finally build the foundation of Heavenly Dao. Many elders in the sect recognized his talent and considered him to be the true seed of the future.

All because of the kind heart of the old man, otherwise Jiang would not be where he is today.

What's more, even if the old man brought him back to the sect, he didn't abandon him. Instead, he took good care of him and taught him through words and deeds, hoping that Jiang Sheng could be like him.

It's a pity that Jiang Sheng was born with a cold temperament and could not be as compassionate as the old man.

In Jiang Sheng's understanding, the sect is undoubtedly the number one. The brothers, sisters, and sisters in the sect are just a family. As long as Penglai is not involved, he doesn't care about the life or death of outsiders at all.

The complicated emotions in his heart were chopped up by Jiang Sheng in the blink of an eye.

Squinting at the snow-covered mountains outside the Taoist temple, Jiang Sheng said softly: "Look at the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, and let the clouds roll and relax in the sky."

"What does the evil cultivators causing chaos have to do with the poor Taoists?"

"It's a pity that there are so many mediocre people in this world that they can't cut off the worldly connections."

"What a pity, what a pity."

Jiang Sheng said, turned around and continued to sit cross-legged in front of the portrait of the ancestor and began to practice. His eyes were slightly closed, and his eyes were calm.
