Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 53 Past events, the mystery of the river god
It's the end of the year again, and the county and city are bustling with people and the streets are bustling.

The bustling city is noisy and the main 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 Mingan said: "Returning to Master, I just feel that it is very lively and the crowd is extremely dense."

"Yes, with a dense population, there will be chaos. How much incense can a big city with such a large population provide to the river god?" 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 have 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 County, and the family occupies one street.

The entire mansion is of 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 here in front of my house?"

A monk from the Cha family came forward and asked.

Tian Ming'an was not afraid of this monk from the Cha family who was obviously higher in cultivation than him. He took out the greeting card and said loudly: "Tian Ming'an, a Qi practitioner from Qingxuan Temple, came here to send the greeting card to my master. The master will send it to him tomorrow." Come visit.”

"Qingxuan Temple? Qingxuan Temple?!"

This son of the Cha family was stunned: "But Qingping Mountain, Qingxuan Temple?"

Tian Ming'an nodded: "Exactly."

"You guys, please take this little Taoist priest to the concierge to have a rest and drink tea, and I'll go deliver the letter." The disciple of the Cha family in charge didn't dare to slack off, so he gave orders and hurried in to report.

Not long after, the person in charge came back and showed a smile to Tian Ming'an: "Little Taoist Priest, please report 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, and 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 Zha'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's body 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 state, Zha Liangping still couldn't believe it: "Director Jiang, you"

"There are some opportunities, but they are not worth mentioning." Jiang Sheng smiled.

Only then did Zha Liangping come to his senses and stretched out his hand to signal: "Director Jiang, please."

After entering the Cha family, looking at the pavilions, pavilions, gardens and pavilions of the Cha family, Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "The Cha family is indeed the first aristocratic family in Dongjun. This 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.

After leading Jiang Sheng to the vestibule, Zha Liang felt that Jiang Sheng's aura had also come out in person: "I have 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. I'm sorry for your sudden visit today." Jiang Sheng said with a smile.

"Taoist Priest can come, and the Zha family is very prosperous. Why bother to say, please?" Zha Liangcai said and invited Jiang Sheng to come in and take a seat.

Several 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.

After sighing, Zha Liangcai sighed: "I think the Taoist priest will only come because of this incident."

"It seems that I have worked so hard that I barely managed to enter the late stage of Zi Mansion. However, the Taoist Master clearly entered Zi Mansion for the first time, but his strength is no longer inferior to me."

"The Taoist priest has already opened up the 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."

"There is a strong enemy on the side, and 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 Master's character. Using Zi Mansion to attack Jin Dan is not as easy as building a foundation to deal with Zi Mansion."

Jiang Sheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: "I know the difference between Zifu and Jindan. The golden elixir is a high road, and even a low-grade golden elixir is powerful enough to destroy mountains." . But if you don’t give it a try, you will be unwilling to do so.”

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 learned a little more about 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 River God's aura 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.

His strength fluctuated up and down in the past, 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 Zi Mansion was sent.

Thinking again about the clones and the River God Festival that were deployed in the thirteen counties of Dongjun, a flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Sheng's mind: "Fellow Daoist Cha, has there been any movement about the River God in the past two years?"

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 this fifty-year incense ceremony should be that person's method of changing one's life."

"What kind of injury caused a golden elixir creature to have to sink here for fifty years, and there has been no movement so far?"

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 quietly: "That person suddenly appeared in the Taiping River fifty years ago."

"According to the fact that I sent people to inquire in many places, 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. On the verge of death, he returned to Qingyun Sect and handed over the sect. It was given to the current sect master.”

Jiang Sheng's expression finally changed: "What does fellow Taoist Zha mean?"

Zha Liangcai's words were not surprising and he continued: "If the information I gathered is correct, it was not long after the man suddenly fell into the Taiping River that Qingyun Sect announced the emergence of Qingming Zhenren."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "If this is really the case, it would be more complicated."

Things can't stand the thought of being thought through. When two seemingly unrelated things are considered again, the relationship between them becomes 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, and may even damage the foundation. "

"Now that person has never shown up, maybe his strength has not yet returned to its peak. After all, he also lost a clone."

Jiang Sheng thought thoughtfully: "So, maybe Pindao killed one of his clones, causing him to have to spend more time recovering?"

Zha Liangcai said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. It is also possible that the person has already recovered and is 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 the self-examination house, instead of feeling relieved after getting the answer to the mystery, Jiang Sheng's expression became even more solemn.

The thing about 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 a certain 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.

Sun Yu, the contemporary sect leader Qingyu Zhenren, is in the real Golden Elixir realm.

Qingyun Sect also has five elders from the Purple Mansion 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 conflict has been resolved. There is no point in thinking about it so much."

"Master, can't we reconcile with the other party?" Tian Ming'an asked.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "Reconciliation? Why should we reconcile with him?"

"Do you know how much reconciliation will cost?"

"Opportunities and avenues cannot be achieved through reconciliation."

　Here comes the first update.

　　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.
