Chapter 148 - Easy to Spot
Entering Zhang Mancheng's big tent, Long Xiangtian saw a Jindan real person handling government affairs.
This person is about twenty or thirty years old, has a short beard, ties the hair on his forehead with a yellow rope, wears a yellow robe, has a Jindan anomaly, and the yellow mist rises behind him.
"What, the disaster of Jingbei's vitality imbalance is still worsening?
"What's going on over there in Wancheng? Do you have enough manpower, and how many runes do you need?"
"How are the affected immortals in the vicinity arranged?
"What! The price of Ju Lingxiang has risen again? These damn merchants, don't treat the immortals outside the city as people, the real people really want to dismantle them in eight pieces!"
……
Zhang Mancheng heard the news of the deterioration of the disaster, frowned, and heard that the merchants hoarded goods and lived in strange places, hoarding the spiritual incense that the immortals relied on for survival, and then selling it at a high price, and heard that the county guard of Beijun avoided the Taiping Dao people, and didn't care about the immortals outside the city, Zhang Manchengrao is a Jindan real person, and he can't help but burst into foul language from time to time, from this point Long Xiangtian can see that Zhang Mancheng is also from an immortal outside the city, and he will not be as cultivated as the immortals in the city, and he loves face.
"What's the matter, who is this person?" Suddenly seeing Niu Ding walking in with Long Xiangtian, Zhang Mancheng asked casually.
Niu Ding saluted and said: "My lord, this little brother's name is Long San, he was brought back from Feng Wuwei, he is a Qi refining period cultivator who can control the Yuan Power of Wood, and he has always admired the adult, hoping to meet the adult. ”
As soon as Zhang Mancheng heard that Long Xiangtian would control the Yuan Force of the Wood, he immediately became interested, and opened his mouth and said: "What, will control the Yuan Force of the Wood, well, what is lacking is this kind of person!"
Zhang Mancheng looked at Long Xiangtian carefully, Long Xiangtian hurriedly clenched his fists, raised his head slightly, and looked very nervous when he saw Zhang Mancheng.
Zhang Mancheng looked at Long Xiangtian for a while, and couldn't help laughing, Long Xiangtian was shocked, only to see Zhang Mancheng smile and say: "Your Excellency is which Jindan master, being a guest of our Taiping Road, it is really a disappointment!"
Long Xiangtian didn't understand, he obviously used the Seal Hidden Bead to hide his cultivation, how could Zhang Mancheng see through it at a glance? Long Xiangtian felt that Zhang Mancheng was deceiving him, so he pretended not to understand and asked: "What the divine envoy said to the adult, why can't the little one understand?"
Zhang Mancheng said with a smile: "Although Your Excellency hides your own cultivation and pretends to be low in the Qi Refining Period, but looking at Your Excellency's breath, it comes and goes, which is unreasonable, ordinary people can't see it, but when it comes to my realm, it is easy to see, presumably Your Excellency has just arrived at the Jiedan realm, right?"
Long Xiangtian suddenly realized, because he usually didn't do much research on the Sealed Hidden Bead, when he opened the Sealed Hidden Bead to hide his own realm, he even hid his own breath together, this monk below the Jindan level would not pay attention, but Zhang Mancheng, a monk in the realm of the Sealed Pill, could see it clearly.
Knowing that he was exposed due to his own negligence, Long Xiangtian no longer pretended, so he simply turned off the function of sealing the hidden bead and asked Zhang Mancheng: "But why are you sure that I am a Jindan real person who has just arrived at the realm of Jiedan?"
Zhang Mancheng said: " Although it stands to reason that those who can hide their realm are usually the great powers of Yuanying or Huixu Zhenyi, but they will not choose to condescend in this way to pretend to be a monk in the Qi refining period to enter our Taiping Dao, they have great powers, and there are other methods, the reason why I think you are a Jindan real person is because my place has been patronized by people from the family several times, and most of them are Jindan real people in disguise, so it is not unusual for me to be able to tell your realm, and the reason why I judge that you are a monk who has just entered the realm of Jiedan is because you retain too many characteristics that only a foundation building monk has。 ”
"People from the family, they also want to blend in here, what is the purpose?" Long Xiangtian couldn't help but ask.
"The people of the family are high, and they don't care about the life or death of the immortals outside the city like the government, but they pay more attention to our Taiping Dao than the government, and they don't just want to see the true intentions of our Taiping Dao, but our purpose is to help the immortals of the world, what can we do to find out, it's really ridiculous!" Zhang Mancheng said with a smile.
What Long Xiangtian didn't expect was that it was not only himself, but also people from the family who were inquiring about the news of Taiping Dao, so that everyone bumped into each other, and it was strange not to be discovered, but what made Long Xiangtian feel strange was that Taiping Dao, which even Xianhan himself didn't pay attention to, why did the people of the family pay special attention?
Knowing that his identity was revealed, he naturally couldn't find anything useful, so Long Xiangtian opened his identity and said: "In Xia Long Xiangtian, he is the nephew of Jingzhou Thorn Shi Jingsheng Zhenyi, and the purpose of coming here is just to wonder why Taiping Dao is willing to help the immortals outside the city who even the officials of various states and counties are unwilling to help." ”
As the lord of a state, managing the affairs of Jingzhou, Jingsheng Zhenyi has made Jingzhou rich and war-free, which is admirable, but the county code under Lord Thorn Shi is too poor, especially the county guard of Beijun, who ignores the immortals outside the city, which makes people angry!"
Long Xiangtian asked, "I actually want to meet the great sage and good teacher, I wonder if the divine envoy can recommend me?"
Zhang Mancheng shook his head and said, "The great sage and good teacher are in retreat, and they are at a critical juncture, and now even I can't see them. ”
Long Xiangtian asked again, "I don't know what the divine envoy's path number is?"
Zhang Mancheng waved his hand and said: "The divine envoy is just everyone's love for me Zhang Mancheng, Long Gongzi is not a person from our Taiping Dao, you can call me Mancheng directly, I was originally from an immortal outside the city, and I am more casual, so I don't have a road number, I don't know what Long Gongzi's road number is?"
"I just entered the Jindan realm not long ago, so I don't have a starting number, Brother Mancheng just called me Xiangtian. ”
Zhang Mancheng asked: "Brother Xiangtian is not a family but a child of the government, come to our Taiping Dao, could it be that those people from the family have the same idea?"
"The great sage and good teacher founded the Taiping Dao to help the immortals of the world as their own responsibility, such a noble person, I actually just wanted to see it at the beginning. Long Xiangtian said.
Zhang Mancheng sighed: "Oh, I'm sorry for this, the Great Sage and Good Master is still in retreat and cultivation, and he can't be disturbed by other people, so Brother Xiangtian, you can't see the Great Sage and Good Master now!"
"In that case, can you tell the Great Sage and Good Master's Dao number?" Long Xiangtian asked.
"The Great Sage and Good Master is also from the immortals outside the city, and he was given the Dharma by the immortals and cultivated to achieve positive results, but he also does not have a Dao name, because it is enough to rely on the honorific title of this Great Sage and Good Master, which is the honorific title of the Great Sage and Good Master by hundreds of thousands of immortals in the Eight States, which is better than any other Dao name. Zhang Mancheng said.
"Then can you tell me the name and surname of the great sage and good teacher, and what kind of cultivation he is?" Long Xiangtian asked again.
"This, this is inconvenient to disclose. Zhang Mancheng said.
……
Long Xiangtian asked some more things, but in the end, he didn't even know whether the great sage and good teacher were Zhang Jiao, in what realm, Long Xiangtian felt that he couldn't get anything useful from Zhang Mancheng's mouth if he stayed any longer, instead of listening to Zhang Mancheng here praise how they did good things for the immortals outside the city, and while scolding the state and county officials, Long Xiangtian felt that it was better to go home and think of countermeasures.
Long Xiangtian decided not to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Zhang Mancheng and left.
After Long Xiangtian left, Zhang Man put away his smiling face and said to himself: "This group of families and officials, even if they don't make any efforts, they are still suspicious of our Taipingdao, for such people, I can't wait to cut them down one by one, but the great sage and good teacher have instructed me to treat them well, otherwise they will definitely have no return one by one!"
Long Xiangtian returned to the City Lord's Mansion, thought about it, and felt that people had already been on guard, and it was not easy to find out the details of Taiping Dao, since he couldn't attack and be frustrated, he had to actively defend.
Long Xiangtian decided to continue cultivating, and only strength was the last word. Long Xiangtian thought to himself: If the Yellow Turban Rebellion is inevitable, then only by making yourself stronger can you defeat others, not be defeated by others.
In fact, Long Xiangtian is not sure whether the Yellow Turban Uprising will happen now, after all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" , This world is this world, there will still be a big difference between the two, what Long Xiangtian understands now is that the Taiping Dao people are really thinking about the immortals outside the city, not some heinous anti-thief organization in Long Xiangtian's imagination, for the rescue of the immortals outside the city, the government has done a very poor job, completely ignoring it, and allowing the businessmen to raise prices, if it is placed in the novel, the government has become the villain's side, and this is not a novel, it is true.
Long Xiangtian couldn't help but think to himself: If Taiping Dao really launched an uprising in the end, representing the suffering immortals outside the city and the government that didn't care about their lives or death, then would they be good or bad? When the time comes, which side should he choose to help? What should he do to set things right, and can what he do really represent the will of heaven?
Long Xiangtian has a feeling that if he helps Taiping Dao, maybe Taiping Dao will eventually win, if he helps Xianhan, then Taiping Dao will eventually fail, and what he does will even change the established future, this feeling makes Long Xiangtian incredible, but there seems to be a mysterious power that forces Long Xiangtian to believe.
Suddenly, Long Xiangtian had an inexplicable impulse in his heart, which made Long Xiangtian can't help but say: "Alas, forget it, I don't want to, the future has actually been disrupted a long time ago, otherwise there would be no Great Demon God Chiyou, instead of the so-called rectification of chaos and let the future return to the trajectory formed before, it is better for me to create a new future by myself!"
So Long Xiangtian chose to continue his retreat and practice, waiting for the rabbit to see if the Yellow Turban Uprising would appear in the end.
