Volume 1: Shine on Mountains and Rivers Chapter 139 The Handmaid Summer and Winter
In Chen Rong's narration, many secrets of Shenxuanzong were unreservedly presented in front of Ji Yuan and Qian Nishang.
One of them is an ancestor of the Divine Xuanzong, although his cultivation has reached the peak of the clouds, he is an immortal figure, but he also inevitably shows the problem of the approaching longevity.
Now the remaining longevity is probably less than a hundred years.
For mortals, most of them don't live for more than a hundred years, but for immortals in this realm, a little retreat is decades later.
Nowadays, most of the disciples of the Shenxuan Sect are digging the ruins of their predecessors and caves everywhere, trying to dig out some things to increase their longevity.
It is true that this ancestor has lived for nearly a thousand years, a generation older than Emperor Tianwu, and has swallowed countless elixirs, and the longevity-increasing spiritual objects found in the world have no effect on it.
Now, in addition to pinning his hopes on excavating the peerless artifacts that have disappeared from ancient times, he is trying to find one or two rare elixirs that are rare in the world.
And just two months ago, a group of disciples found a Gu Immortal relic that had not yet been discovered at the junction of Chongyuan Mansion and Lingyang Mansion.
However, the movement was too big at that time, which attracted the attention of all forces, especially some mountain and wild cultivators with great ability, they didn't care whether you were a disciple of Shenxuanzong or not, even if they were people from the court, they never cared.
It's a big deal to make a vote, and then leave the Dayu Dynasty directly, anyway, they have no roots and no foundation, and the whole family will not worry about feeding the whole family.
So under the siege of a group of mountain and wild cultivators, even if the disciples of Shenxuanzong suffered heavy casualties, some forces couldn't resist the temptation, and they chose to secretly seize the opportunity.
It's just that no one expected that when they fought to the death outside the ruins of the Gu Immortals, the Quartet Bandits who were captured by the Divine Xuanzong swallowed a large amount of the elixir left by the Gu Immortals inside, and then left through a teleportation formation.
This is also the reason why Chen Rong and other disciples of Shenxuanzong appeared in Luoxia County, and they followed the clues here, hoping that those thieves did not eat all the fragments of the elixir. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
"There's one thing I don't understand."
Ji Yuan frowned and said: "I have left enough clues along the way, if there is no accident, you should find the county guard, how can you directly target us?" β
This is also something that Qian Nishang cares about, these clues seem to be insignificant, but they are just right to take them out, not only did not skim them cleanly, but also just shifted their attention to the county guard.
However, the people of the Shenxuanzong led by the middle-aged man did not go to the county guard mansion at all, but appeared directly in Mingxinxuan, and even asked to see Qian Nishang by name.
When the two parties first met, they opened their mouths straightforwardly and asked Qian Nishang to hand over what they had gained.
If there is no problem in this, it is absolutely impossible for the two to believe it.
It's just that no matter how much they think, they can't figure out what the problem is.
"It was a Danshi named Cui Long who secretly sneaked into the inn where we stayed, and said that the money shopkeeper sent someone to intercept a treasure and present it to the county guard, so that he could break the mortal situation."
Chen Rong didn't need to hide it, and explained everything he knew on the spot.
Even Cui Long's words at that time were roughly repeated, and the point was that the man also swore a poisonous oath at that time, saying that Qian Nishang still had several spiritual objects in his hands, and not all of them were dedicated to the county guard.
This is also the reason why they appeared in Mingxinxuan and did not hesitate to commit murder on the street.
"According to the records in the ruins of the ancient immortals, this thing is a kind of ancient elixir, which is refined by the immortals for their relatives and friends."
Chen Rong said: "If you take a whole one, you can make mortals soar in the daytime, and at least you can stand on the top of the clouds and become a powerful person. β
Although the long years have passed, the elixir has been torn apart, and most of the medicinal power has been lost, if it is supplemented with rare spiritual objects to refine it, it may be able to make that ancestor who is close to the end of his life go further.
Even if you can't directly become an immortal, there is a little possibility, maybe you can achieve the position of a half-immortal.
At that time, whether it is mana or longevity, there will be a leap forward.
This is also the Divine Xuanzong has encountered some trouble, the sect.
Most of the power in it was dispersed, otherwise it would not be a Three Realms that appeared here, but a great monk who formed the Golden Pill.
"What can make the Divine Xuanzong be dragged into a body and lose his skills?"
Qian Nishang asked with a frown.
It stands to reason that with the strength of the two immortal figures of Shenxuanzong and the nine Jindan Great Monks, unless the imperial court makes a move against them, or there are several large sects of comparable strength joining forces.
Otherwise, there should be nothing that would make them unable to even draw out a Jindan Grand Monk.
Hearing this, Chen Rong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It is rumored that it is somewhere guarded by Shenxuanzong, and there has been an accident that has not been seen for thousands of years. β
When exactly it is, this is not something that a small disciple of the Second Realm can know, but listening to the rumors in the sect, maybe it is a big demon who has been guarded by the Divine Xuanzong for many years, and there is a possibility of getting out of trouble.
Once this great demon escapes, at least half of the land will be devastated, turning into a desolate land.
But whether it is true or not, only the high-level of the Divine Xuanzong can know a little bit of news.
"Now that the remaining four people have been pressed into the prison of the County Guard's Mansion, how do you think the Divine Xuanzong will react?"
Ji Yuan looked at Chen Rong quietly, and asked with a deep meaning in his eyes.
The latter almost didn't think about it, and said directly: "No matter what happened to Shenxuanzong, one thing is certain, now they have no skills, so I guess they should lose money and give up continuing to pursue." β
"Only when they solve the bigger problems and free up their hands will it be possible to bring up the old things again."
However, if Shenxuanzong wants to solve the current trouble, I am afraid it will not be able to do it for a while, as far as Chen Rong knows, this situation has been maintained for more than ten years.
No one knows how much more time it will take to solve this problem.
Maybe it's months, maybe it's years, and even a dozen more thoughts are not impossible.
And even if he frees his hands, there is a high probability that Shenxuanzong will not bring up the old things again, after all, after such a long time, who knows how many of those things from the beginning will remain?
It's a pity that the ancestor whose longevity is approaching doesn't have so much time to toss, and the Shenxuan Sect must still focus on finding longevity-increasing spiritual objects.
"In this way, when the matter in the county town is over, I can leave with peace of mind."
Ji Yuan sighed, a little less worried.
As for the fact that he will leave and go to the Nine Xuanmen Gate of Feiyun County, Qian Nishang is naturally clear.
Although she really wanted to keep it, and even felt that if he was there, with this resource, I am afraid that it would not be long before the Qian family could return to the top and no longer need to be coveted.
It's just that Qian Nishang also understands that a Qian family can't restrain Ji Yuan, and all kinds of benefits can't match the Jiuxuanmen, which dominates a county.
In the end, the two of them re-banned Chen Rong's cultivation, let him stay in the Qian family's ancestral hall temporarily, and called two loyal servants to take care of him, and left here together. _o_m
Qian Nishang returned to the study and dealt with the business and affairs of the Qian family and Ming Xinxuan.
As for Ji Yuan, under the guidance of the two maids, he returned to the courtyard where he temporarily lived.
"Childe!"
As soon as she returned to the room, the girl who was still in the room immediately gave a salute and screamed crisply.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously blurted out: "Dong'er...... Why are you here? β
Standing in his room at this moment is one of Qian Nishang's maids, a girl named Xia Dong.
"The head of the family said that from today onwards, Dong'er will belong to the son."
The girl lowered her head and could see that the roots of her ears had turned red.
She once thought that she would follow Qian Nishang for the rest of her life, and maybe twenty or thirty years later, she would marry a young servant of the Qian family.
But I didn't expect that one day, it would be given to outsiders, and it was still a young Taoist priest who was older than himself and seemed to be a year or two old.
"Nonsense!"
Ji Yuan rarely got angry.
It's no wonder that after all, he is a registered Taoist priest in the Dayu Dynasty, Ben.
For the sake of monks, although Taoists do not taboo marriage, how can they bring a maid by their side?
Therefore, in his eyes, Qian Nishang's move is indeed a little inappropriate, if it is spread out, it will have an impact on himself, Xuantianguan, and even Xia Dong's reputation. _o_m
"You go back now and tell the owner that you can't do it now!"
He said slightly angrily, but not to the girl in front of him, but Qian Nishang who was far away in the study.
Hearing this, Xia Dong immediately knelt on the ground, and his forehead was even closer to the floor tiles: "I beg Gongzi to be gracious, the Qian family has rules, and the things sent out will never be taken back. β
Ji Yuan opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he felt a feeling of suffocation in his heart.
I always feel like I'm ...... It's like it's a routine.
However, after calming down, he figured out that Xia Dong seemed to be a gift from Qian Nishang, asking him to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But isn't it a means of entrapment and surveillance?
said that it was a bit too much to surveillance, but the other party obviously wanted to arrange a trustworthy person who could know more or less about his situation.
Otherwise, he will be treated with a special offering, and he will give away magic weapons and exercises, and he will have a large amount of dedication every year in the future, but people are far away from several counties, and it is naturally difficult to have confidence in his heart.
After all, the friendship between the two sides is not deep enough to ignore these.
"Okay, then you will be by my side for the time being, but remember, you are a human being, not a gift that can be sent around at will."
After thinking about it, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and he agreed for the time being.
This approach not only shows that she has no other ideas, but also allows Qian Nishang to feel at ease, and also to explain to the senior management of the Qian family.
And he also knew in his heart that if Xia Dong was forcibly allowed to go back, he would definitely end up as she said, being expelled from the Qian family and left to fend for himself.
"Childe...... The head of the house explained that if you are really angry...... Convenient...... It will ...... Turn the slave into your man...... Naturally, there will be no more suspicion of surveillance......"
Xia Dong gave a blessing and said in a crisp whisper.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the redness not only existed at the base of the ear, but even spread to the neck, and his head hung down much lower.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan was stunned on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning, and a rare flush appeared on his face.
After half a ring, Xia Dong quietly raised his head and peeked at it, and then called weakly: "Childe......"
"Huh?"
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"The way you blush...... It's pretty good! β
Before the words fell, Xia Dong turned around and ran into the room, as if he was too ashamed in his heart, and the force in his hand couldn't help but increase a little, causing the door to hit the door frame heavily.
Boom!!!
This loud bang slammed into Ji Yuan's ears.
After a long time, he suddenly slapped his head: "She entered the room, so where do I sleep at night?" βγ
