Chapter 10: Crisis
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Chen stopped cultivating, and as Jiang Chen expected, his cultivation smoothly broke through from the fifth level of qi training to the sixth level of qi training. If this speed was known to Wei Taixian and the others, I am afraid that they would seriously doubt whether Jiang Chen's talent was a dual-line miscellaneous spirit root.
Jiang Chen checked the storage bag again, and there was an identity jade plate inside, a jade slip introducing Nanfeng Prefecture, several sets of clothes for the inner disciples of the Sword Washing Sect, and a bottle of Nourishing True Qi Pill and ten lower grade spirit stones.
Tie the storage bag carefully around his waist, Jiang Chen walked out of the cave, went to the creek to wash his face with the clear and sweet stream water, and then went to Tai'a Feng to find the deputy sect master to take leave. When Wei Taixian heard that Jiang Chen was going to take leave and go home, he waved his hand impatiently, and asked Jiang Chen not to look for him for this kind of thing in the future, just go directly to Elder Ma.
After Jiang Chen left the Tai'a Palace, he came to the original residence where he was a disciple of the outer sect, Ye Yu was sleeping in the room, and even in the courtyard, Jiang Chen could hear Ye Yu's surging snoring.
Jiang Chen pushed open the door, a smell of wine came to his nose, there was a pile of wine bottles on the table, and there were a lot of leftovers, and at a glance, he knew that there were many people drinking in this room last night. Jiang Chen was a little surprised in his heart, and at the same time secretly wondered, he knew that Ye Yu didn't have any friends in the Sword Washing Sect, but why did he drink with others?
"Ye Yu, get up quickly!" Jiang Chen shouted. After shouting a few times, Ye Yu responded in a daze, without the slightest intention of getting up, Jiang Chen pinched a water condensation trick, and directly hit Ye Yu in the face with a column of water.
"Who? who!" Ye Yu rolled up suddenly, and a pair of eyes looked around until he saw Jiang Chen.
"It turned out to be Brother Jiang, hahaha......" Ye Yu hugged Jiang Chen, "Brother Jiang, you are really amazing! Really, now that the outer disciples have spread, you have not only successfully promoted to the inner disciple, but also killed He Tianyang during the assessment." Look at these wines and dishes on this table, they are all honored by those kings and calves who were angry in front of us before. When they see me now, they all bow their heads and bow their waists, not to mention how funny it looks. Boss Jiang, it's the first time in my life that I, Ye Yu, admire someone so much, I'll follow you in the future, don't you don't accept me as a little brother......"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Ye Yu, I came to the outer mountains this time to ask if you would like to follow me into Tai'a Peak to cultivate." ”
"Ah, enter Tai'a Peak to cultivate?" Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted wildly: "Great, I didn't expect that I could also enter the inner mountain to cultivate! Brother Jiang, I really love you to death." ”
Ye Yu was about to rush up and hug Jiang Chen and kiss him, Jiang Chen hurriedly pushed Ye Yu away, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, you dead faggot." ”
"Haha...... Brother Jiang, I'm not a. But---for you, I'm willing to do it once......" Ye Yu deliberately pinched the orchid and pointed out.
"Die!" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes angrily, "However, if you follow me into the inner mountain, you can only enter as my attendant, because the sect has rules that every inner disciple can bring three attendants." ”
"Understood!" Ye Yu nodded with a smile.
"Okay, before I go back to Neishan, I plan to go back to Moyuan City to meet my family, so you can wait for me here. Jiang Chen said.
Then Jiang Chen and Ye Yu said goodbye. Out of the mountain gate of the Sword Washing Sect, it is a square market.
This Fang Market is the property of the Sword Washing Sect, which is used by mortals and monks to buy and sell, and the Sword Washing Sect collects a lot of rent from each shop in the Fang Market every year, and of course the Sword Washing Sect also has its own shop.
Jiang Chen went to Fang City and exchanged a low-grade spirit stone for thirty taels of gold, which was equivalent to three hundred taels of silver. Ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a year, and a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for three hundred taels of silver, which shows how valuable a low-grade spirit stone is in the world.
In fact, this is still in the Fang market outside the Sword Washing Sect, if you really go to the world to exchange huàn, a low-grade spirit stone is often sold for more than three hundred taels of silver, although some rich mortals can not use the spirit stone to cultivate, but you can inlay the spirit stone in necklaces, rings and other jewelry, wearing it on the body has the effect of refreshing and calming the mind and prolonging life, and there are also some rich and noble people who will add spirit stones when boiling the soup, and the soup will be extraordinarily sweet and nourishing.
Jiang Chen spent another tael of gold to hire a carriage and galloped all the way from Fang City to Moyuan City. This ** car is not an ordinary horse, but a tamed wild horse, with the blood of demon beasts flowing in its body, which can travel thousands of miles a day, and does not need to rest for several days and nights in a row.
Three days later, Jiang Chen returned to Moyuan City.
The closer he got to the Jiang family, the more apprehensive Jiang Chen became, deep in his heart, after all, he hadn't completely regarded himself as a person from this world. If we see Jiang Haolin again, will the title of "father" be able to be shouted? When facing the Jiang family, how can we do it without any gaps?
After thinking about it, Jiang Chen had already come to the door of the Jiang family.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the gate of the Jiang family, which made Jiang Chen a little puzzled that the original old gate of the Jiang family had actually been renovated, and there were rows of shiny door nails on the vermilion gate.
"Could it be that the family situation has improved, and my father and sister don't have to live the same embarrassing life as before?" Jiang Chen's heart burned with a trace of hope.
"Knock knock!" Jiang Chen knocked on the copper ring on the door. Soon there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then a crack opened in the gate, and a head peeked out of it.
"Who are you?" asked a man who looked like a small man looking at Jiang Chen.
"I'm Jiang Chen!Who are you?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, could it be that his father had hired someone else.
"Jiang Chen, which Jiang Chen, who are you looking for?" the man asked again. Jiang Chen felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, if this was a subordinate hired by his father, it was impossible not to know his name.
"I don't look for anyone, I go home. Isn't this the Jiang family?" Jiang Chen asked with a slight squint.
"Are you looking in the wrong place, this is not the Jiang family, this is the Tang family?"
"Smack!" Jiang Chen slapped his palm on the door, and the little guy was suddenly shocked and flew out, and the door was also half open.
Jiang Chen walked into the courtyard and found that the originally familiar courtyard had changed, almost from beginning to end.
"Could it be that my father sold this place?" Jiang Chen was puzzled, but quickly denied his guess, according to his understanding of his father, it was absolutely impossible for his father to sell his ancestral business.
"Who came to my Tang family to make trouble?" Soon a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper rushed out, followed by several young and strong family members.
"Lord Steward, it's him, indiscriminately hurting the little one, and the little one can't stop him. The subordinate who was shocked by Jiang Chen pointed at Jiang Chen and said.
The middle-aged housekeeper looked Jiang Chen up and down, and noticed that Jiang Chen's temperament was extraordinary, and he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he arched his hand and said, "This friend, I don't know what happened to my Tang family?"
Jiang Chen glanced at the middle-aged housekeeper indifferently: "When did this place become the Tang family?"
The housekeeper groaned slightly and said, "A month ago, the head of the family bought this courtyard in the hands of the magistrate. ”
"What happened when you bought it in the hands of the magistrate?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "Tell your family master to come out and speak!"
"The head of the house is eating right now. If you want to see the head of the house, please wait in the living room!" said the middle-aged housekeeper.
"Hmph!" Jiang Chen snorted coldly, even a mortal dared to ask him to wait? Jiang Chen also ignored the housekeeper and walked straight to the back room. When the housekeeper saw Jiang Chen walking straight inside, he was immediately furious, although he felt that Jiang Chen was a little extraordinary, but this was too rude.
"Stop! This is the Tang family's private residence, you dare to trespass, don't blame us for being polite?" Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to it at all, the housekeeper was even more angry, and waved his hand: "Beat this person out of the stick!"
The group of family members suddenly waved wooden sticks and outflanked Jiang Chen. But before they got close to Jiang Chen at all, they were thrown out by Jiang Chen with a flick of his hand.
"Immortal Master, it turned out to be an Immortal Master!" The housekeeper saw that Jiang Chen hadn't touched the family at all, so he flew the family fan out, and he was immediately shocked, and he ran in with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took one step at a time, seemingly walking in an ordinary way, but his speed was extremely fast, and he crossed the courtyard in two or three steps and entered the dining room. In the dining room, an obese middle-aged man was sitting around a table with five or six beautiful young women, and Yingsheng Yanyu didn't notice that there was an extra person in the room.
"Master, this immortal master is looking for you......" The butler who followed behind Jiang Chen hurriedly shouted loudly.
"What immortal master?" The fat man didn't care until he saw Jiang Chen, who suddenly appeared in the room, and then he was startled.
"It's this Immortal Master. The butler hurriedly signaled.
Only then did the fat man realize that the immortal master that the butler said was the young man in front of him who looked a little thin, so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Tang ...... Tang Fugui didn't know...... The immortal master is coming, and he is not welcome, please forgive the immortal master, please forgive the immortal master!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Tang Fugui, who was shaking like chaff, and said coldly: "This mansion was originally my Jiang family's, how can it become yours now?"
Tang Fugui's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood why this immortal master came, and his heart became extremely frightened.
He bought a yard from the county magistrate, just greedy for cheapness. At that time, the magistrate also told him that the situation of the Jiang family did not have any worries at all, why did an immortal master appear now?
It seems that it was pitted by the county!
Tang Fugui understood, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with the county's approach, didn't this mean to harm his life?
"If you don't say it, you won't have a chance to say it!" Jiang Chen saw that Tang Fugui was silent, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Tang Fugui's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Immortal Master spare your life, spare your life." If the immortal master wants to know something, I will tell it all, and I dare not hide it at all. This...... I bought this yard from the magistrate. ”
"Then do you know that this courtyard was originally from my Jiang family?" Jiang Chen asked again.
"No...... I don't know. Tang Fugui secretly glanced at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's face turned cold, why couldn't he see that this Tang Fugui was talking nonsense with his eyes open?
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and directly waved his hand to strike a wind blade.
"Ahh
"Do you know now?" Jiang Chen asked lightly.
"Yes, yes! I found out before I bought it. Tang Fu endured the severe pain, and Gui trembled.
"Next time, be careful of your dog's life!" Jiang Chen snorted coldly again, and asked again: "Where are the Jiang family's people, why is the Jiang family's mansion involved in the sale by the magistrate?"
"This ...... The little one only knows that the little girl of the Jiang family ...... That is, your sister fled into Daewonsan. I just bought this yard for a bargain. None of this has anything to do with me!" Tang Fugui no longer dared to hide anything, and said almost crying.
"My sister fled to Dayuan Mountain, who wanted to harm her?" Jiang Chen's heart sank.
Tang Fugui hurriedly replied: "It's the son of the county magistrate." He fell in love with Ling Mei's appearance, so he ...... Therefore, I want to take Lingmei as a concubine. Knot...... Outcome...... Ling Mei fled into Dayuan Mountain, according to ...... It is said that the prince of the county is now leading troops to search for ...... in Daewonsan"
"Is it Wen Zhicheng, is that the gentleman the son of the county dare to beat my sister?" Jiang Chen was silent, and his murderous intent was deep.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was silent, Tang Fugui said again: "Immortal Master, I was also harmed by Nazhi County." Don't worry, Master Xianshi, I don't want this mansion anymore, I will return it to you with both hands. ”
"You'd better return it to the magistrate! I'll go to the magistrate to ask for it at that time." Jiang Chen smiled coldly, turned around and left, he wanted to rush to Dayuan Mountain to rescue Jiang Qin as fast as possible.
"Master, what should we do now?, should we return this mansion to him?" Seeing Jiang Chen leaving, the housekeeper asked with some uneasiness.
Tang Fugui frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "No need for the time being, if he wants to go back to this mansion, he will definitely go to Lord Zhixian first." Maybe the magistrate will kill this son. If the magistrate can't help him, it doesn't hurt for us to give him the mansion again......"
"Hey, hey...... This son has a blood feud with the magistrate, and the magistrate will definitely not let him go, and when the magistrate kills him, we don't have to worry about it anymore! The butler clapped his thumb and said.
