Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Hou Chonghu was stunned.

Wang Ziyi, Mo Xiangyan and Mr. Zhong were all stunned.

Those warriors who were already in despair were also stunned.

They watched helplessly as Zhang Xiaojiu, a young boy who was only at the Bronze Skin Realm, pushed the disabled man in a wheelchair past the Red Snake King.

He ignored the ferocious and cunning Red Snake King, ignored the huge monster and the blazing evil spirit, and just went down the mountain.

From beginning to end, the Red Snake King maintained a bowed head posture, without moving at all, and his fiery and blood-red snake eyes did not change at all.

What exactly is going on? !
Liu Qing suddenly shuddered. She stepped forward tentatively and gently touched the Red Snake King while the shadow guard was anxious.

The Red Snake King came back to his senses suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that the person sitting in the wheelchair just now looked like the figure in the green crown and black robe.

Same body shape, same appearance, just a little thinner and dressed more casually.

Suddenly, the look of Jiang Sheng appeared in the Red Snake King's eyes again, that casual, indifferent look.

That stroke overlapped again with the man high in the sky amidst the rolling dark clouds, thunder and lightning.

Only this time, the Red Snake King saw the green lotus blooming in the Taoist's eyes.

Afterwards, several people saw that the Red Snake King, who was emitting a monstrous and ferocious aura just a moment ago, just fell down with a loud bang.

The towering body of a hundred feet tall just fell down like a hill collapsing. For a moment, as the Red Snake King fell, the earth shook and dust rose into the sky.

But no one cared about this at the moment, everyone was staring at the Red Snake King who fell down with a loud bang.

No one could believe this scene.

The Red Snake King who pushed them into a desperate situation step by step, the Red Snake King who was the overlord of the entire Jiufang Mountains, the Red Snake King whose scales were red and black and invulnerable to swords and spears, the Red Snake King whose fire poison burned mountains and boiled seas and whose blood and energy destroyed mountains and cut off peaks, just died like that?
How did the Red Snake King die?

Could it be because of that loser in the wheelchair?

No one dared to believe this, but everyone couldn't help thinking about it.

After all, when Zhang Xiaojiu pushed Jiang Sheng past the Red Snake King, when the Red Snake King lowered his head, Jiang Sheng glanced at him.

While Liu Qing was shocked, her eyes couldn't help showing wonder: Young Master Zhang's master was indeed a god. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he could kill the Red Snake King who was at the peak of the Blood Moving and Awakening Realm silently.

But Hou Chonghu's expression changed again and again at this time.

He just felt that he had exposed all his thoughts in front of others, like a clown showing off his scheming and cleverness.

But how can a smart person let others know how smart he is, and how can he let others see through his own intentions?

Moreover, he had been showing off for a long time, trying to win over Liu Qing, threatening Wang Ziyi and Mo Xiangyan, and even planning to let a group of people die in exchange for his own life.

In the end, all these schemes and plans turned into nothing with just one glance from Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng ignored Hou Chonghu, nor did he even look at him. He just ignored Hou Chonghu. This might be the most painful thing for Hou Chonghu.

It was as if everything about myself was not worth mentioning in front of that person.

Even if that person is a disabled person sitting in a wheelchair, even if that person is only wearing a cheap white cloth shirt.

"Liu Qing, what is the origin of that person?"

Hou Chonghu didn't know that his voice could be so hoarse and dry, as if he had lost all his energy in an instant.

Liu Qing did not answer Hou Chonghu's words. She just glanced at Wang Ziyi, nodded to Mo Xiangyan, and then turned and left with her shadow guard.

The Red Snake King is dead.

The whereabouts of the nine-tailed demon cat has also been discovered.

Hou Chonghu got nothing.

There is no meaning for Liu Qing to stay here anymore, no, she still has!
"Go back immediately to the county town and tell my father everything that happened here. Ask him to send someone immediately. No, ask him to come to Liuhe Village in Shancheng Town in person."

"Do you understand?"

The shadow guard looked at Liu Qing's burning eyes, swallowed, nodded repeatedly, and then disappeared into the mist.

Liu Qing quickly followed the traces of Zhang Xiaojiu and Jiang Sheng going down the mountain.

"Master, how did you do that?"

"How did you do that?"

"It was the Red Snake King. So many masters at the Blood-Moving and Awakening Stage couldn't stop the Red Snake King. How come the Red Snake King let us go just after you looked at him?"

"It was because the snake got scared that it died, simple as that."

"The Red Snake King is dead?!"

Zhang Xiaojiu cried out in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the Red Snake King, feared by all the villagers in Anyang Mountain, who had dominated Anyang Mountain for who knows how long, was actually dead.

Jiang Sheng said leisurely: "If you go back now, you can pick up the snake's body."

"Do you want to go back?"

Zhang Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I want to send Master down the mountain first."

Jiang Sheng smiled: "That snake is a good thing. The snake meat can be used for your cultivation, the snake bones can be used to make medicine powder, the snake gall can be used to make elixirs to open your mind and meridians, and the snake heart can strengthen your skin, flesh, tendons and bones, allowing you to reach a higher level."

"The blood and flesh of the red snake is enough to allow you to advance from the Copper Skin Realm to the Blood Moving and Awakening Realm. Aren't you tempted?"

Zhang Xiaojiu chuckled: "I also know that the Red Snake King is so powerful, he must be full of treasures."

"But I still have to take the master down the mountain."

Jiang Sheng chuckled, then closed his eyes and let Zhang Xiaojiu push him down the mountain.

The fog that shrouded the entire Anyang Mountain slowly dissipated.

None of the disciples of the various gangs in Shancheng Town, including their gang leaders and core members, survived and all died in the mountains.

It wasn't just the gangs in Shancheng Town. The other gangs and martial arts academy disciples who entered the mountains all ended up like this. Only a very few lucky ones survived, and even fewer not only survived, but also brought back some herbs or the corpse of the red snake.

What happened in Anyang Mountain soon spread throughout the mountain town and all the villages outside Anyang Mountain.

Everyone knows that during that heavy fog, the red snakes in Anyang Mountain went crazy.

But no one knew that the Red Snake King was also dead.

Only a few people including Liu Qing, Wang Ziyi, Mo Xiangyan, and Hou Chonghu knew the news about the Red Snake King.

Therefore, this news is not known to ordinary people at all.

Wang Ziyi, Mo Xiangyan and Hou Chonghu have already left. This day really left a deep impression on them.

It was not only because of the Red Snake King who was completely invincible and almost made them despair, but also because of Jiang Sheng.

They wanted to find out the news quickly; they wanted to know Jiang Sheng's background.

At this time, Jiang Sheng was standing by the Liu River, watching the water flow eastward day after day.

But besides Zhang Xiaojiu, there was also a simple girl beside Jiang Sheng.

"The wind blows constantly, the water gurgles, the scenery along the Liu River is particularly pleasant."

"This kind of scenery is not uncommon, but the girl is used to seeing pavilions and towers, and when she suddenly came here, she saw the natural simplicity, so she felt refreshed."

"Mr. Lingyuan's words do make sense."

"Oh, it's just that everyone has a different state of mind. What's the reason?"

Zhang Xiaojiu listened to the conversation between his master and Liu Qing. He blinked and felt as if he understood something, but also understood nothing.

Jiang Sheng said, pointing to the water in front of him: "Girl, look, what is this?"

Liu Qing looked at the Liu River in front of her. The water of the river was very clear, with gurgling currents and rippling water. Fish, turtles and pebbles could be seen in the water.

Liu Qing tried hard to think about Jiang Sheng's intention.

After Zhang Xiaojiu demonstrated the so-called basic skills, Liu Qing knew that Zhang Xiaojiu's master was no ordinary person.

And when a wheelchair-bound, obviously seriously injured man killed the arrogant and invulnerable Red Snake Queen with just a flick of his hand, Liu Qing became even more convinced of this.

Facing such a mysterious being, Liu Qing thought that Jiang Sheng would not ask questions casually. There must be a deeper meaning behind it, perhaps he was testing her.

So Liu Qing thought again and again, and finally said: "The water flows gently, rushing eastward without stopping."

“As the saying goes, running water never stagnates; the momentum of running water is continuous, like a continuation of the past and the future, flowing back and forth endlessly.”

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then said, "Xiao Jiu, what do you think this is?"

Zhang Xiaojiu blinked: "Master, isn't this a river? You can even see fish and shrimps."

Jiang Sheng asked again: "Do you think this river is any different?"

Zhang Xiaojiu tried to look at the river, then shook his head: "No difference, it's the same as before."

Jiang Sheng then continued, "Miss Liu, when you look at this river, you feel that I am hinting at something, so you think deeply about it."

"When Xiaojiu looked at the river, he didn't have so many mixed thoughts. He just thought it was just a river."

"There are too many things in my head, and my thoughts are too complicated. When I look at people and things, my mood changes."

Liu Qing's face turned red. She felt that she understood what Jiang Sheng meant.

But Jiang Sheng asked again: "Do you think you understand my metaphor?"

"But what if I say I don't have any metaphors?"

"In your eyes, this Liuhe can represent martial arts. Whether it is the technique, practice, state of mind, or thoughts, you can see something of it."

"Because your mind is filled with practice and nothing else, practice has become everything to you, so naturally you are also burdened by practice."

"In Xiaojiu's eyes, a river is a river, a mountain is a mountain. There are fish and turtles in the river, and foxes and rabbits on the mountain. You can say that he is honest and stupid, or you can say that he is pure and flawless."

"But in my eyes, whether it's martial arts or other things, everything in the world can't escape the word Tao. Tao is the law, the principle, the nature of heaven and earth, and the chaotic universe."

Jiang Sheng paused, giving Liu Qing time to react and think.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Sheng said quietly, "I guess you want to know something from me, Miss Liu."

"I am not very familiar with martial arts. To be honest, I have only known martial arts for six or seven years."

"However, I do have some experience with Taoism, and I can share it with you."

After hearing this, not only did Liu Qing perk up and prepare herself, but Zhang Xiaojiu also pricked up her ears, ready to listen to what Jiang Sheng had to say.

"Seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, this is the first level, and Xiaojiu is currently at this level."

"Seeing mountains as not mountains, seeing water as not water, this is the second level, and it is also the level you are in right now, Miss Liu."

“Then seeing the mountains as water and the water as mountains is the third level.”

“Seeing mountains and rivers is like seeing the heaven and earth, seeing nature, seeing all things, this is the fourth level.”

Liu Qing listened to Jiang Sheng's words in a daze, and her eyes lit up. The four levels of realm that Jiang Sheng mentioned, didn't this correspond to the four levels and eight realms of martial arts?

"Master, what level are you at?"

Zhang Xiaojiu asked curiously.

Hearing Zhang Xiaojiu's question, Liu Qing looked at Jiang Sheng with some curiosity.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Me?"

"Didn't I say that I'm not very familiar with martial arts, so I just see mountains as mountains and water as water." (End of this chapter)
