Chapter 720 Jiang Family
"The city is divided into two parts. The Jiang family in the center is the area of immortal cultivators, and there are some mortals or descendants of immortal cultivators living on the periphery!" Jiang Hui said immediately after seeing Liang Zicheng's expression.
Liang Zicheng nodded suddenly.
It turns out that mortals and immortal cultivators are separated here, so in this way, they have no effect on each other.
Then, Liang Zicheng followed Jiang Hui to the city gate.
"Ninth Prince, why are you back? The little one is going to inform the family master!" A middle-aged guard at the city gate lit up his eyes when he saw Jiang Hui, and hurriedly said respectfully.
"No need. Jiang Hui immediately waved his hand.
The middle-aged guard only found out at this moment that Jiang Hui had already married Dan.
"I succeeded in Yudan" not long ago. Jiang Hui said casually.
"Congratulations to the ninth prince for getting married." The middle-aged guard said respectfully.
"No courtesy, good life guard".
"Yes......" After the middle-aged guard answered, he stood up in front of the city gate again.
"Senior Brother Liang, come with me into the city!" Jiang Hui said to Liang Zicheng as he turned his head.
"En" Liang Zicheng nodded, and then walked into the city gate with Jiang Hui.
As soon as you enter the city, you look around!
There is not much difference between the inside and outside of the Jiang family, the houses and pavilions are located in between, and several wide avenues lead in all directions!
It's just that the people here are all immortal cultivators with a certain amount of cultivation, and some of the items sold at the stalls are all magic weapons, talismans, and the like.
Half an hour later, several peaks of hundreds of feet high appeared in front of the two of them.
On one of the peaks, you can clearly see a number of terraces and pavilions.
There is a sloping stone staircase at the bottom of the mountain that leads to the top of the mountain, but there are also a dozen or so guards in front of the stone steps.
After Jiang Hui briefly said a few words to the guards, he climbed the mountain peak with Liang Zicheng.
After staying on the peak, Liang Zicheng's eyes showed a look of surprise.
I saw that in front of me was an open space of dozens of zhang in size, in which there were several tall rings, and many monks were fighting in the ring.
In the distance, there are several majestic halls and quite a few attics, and on those attics are hanging some red cloths and couplets, obviously prepared for the 2,000-year birthday of the elder of the Jiang family.
"See the Ancestors". Those Jiang family monks who were competing in martial arts saw Jiang Hui coming, and they stopped the competition and saluted Jiang Hui.
"Excuse me". Jiang Hui also nodded in a friendly way.
"You are the ninth brother?" A young monk looked at Jiang Hui in shock.
Jiang Hui nodded, and then said, "Yes, I am Lao Jiu."
"You're married," said the young monk again.
Jiang Hui was about to answer, when suddenly a foundation building monk ran over: "Ninth Prince, the head of the family invites you to the living room."
Jiang Hui nodded, and then said to Liang Zicheng: "Senior Brother Liang, let's go to the living room first."
Moments later, the two came to a large hall.
In the hall, there was a fifty-year-old man sitting on the main seat in the hall, and beside the old man stood six disciples of the foundation building period.
When Jiang Hui saw the old man, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "The child meets his father!"
"Hui'er, when did you get married?" The old man said with a look of surprise when he saw Jiang Hui.
"Father's child only got married not long ago!" Jiang Hui immediately hugged his fists.
"Okay, I can marry Elder Taishang before his birthday of two thousand." The old man's face was full of surprise.
"Who is this fellow Daoist?" the old man nodded, and then glanced at Liang Zicheng behind him.
"Oh, this is Senior Brother Liang, who takes care of the children in the sect, and he has come with me to celebrate his birthday at this moment!" Jiang Hui explained to the old man after glancing at Liang Zicheng.
"In Xia Liang Zicheng, I have seen Jiang Shibo!" Liang Zicheng saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
As Jiang Hui's father, the old man should come forward to meet him.
"It turned out to be Liang Xian's nephew, old man Jiang Tao!" the old man said with a slight fist.
Liang Zicheng nodded with a slight smile, then stood aside and kept silent!
"Liang Xian's nephew, the old man has something to say to Hui'er, please follow the disciple to the guest room to rest first!" Jiang Tao issued an eviction order at this time.
Liang Zicheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded suddenly.
There must be some private matters to talk about when father and son meet, and it is really inconvenient to stay here by yourself.
"Feng Dong, take Liang Xian's nephew to the guest room to rest!" Jiang Tao said to a young disciple after seeing this, after smiling a little apologetically.
"Yes...... Senior, please!" the disciple replied respectfully, and then waved at Liang Zicheng with one hand.
"Jiang Shibo, then I will retire first!" Liang Zicheng said with a fist, and then left with his disciple.
"You guys go down too!" Jiang Tao said to the other disciples with a flick of his sleeves after seeing Liang Zicheng leave.
Several people answered, closed the door, and left.
"Dad, what's the matter, you still need to be so cautious?" Jiang Hui asked with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Tao asked, "Hui'er, let me ask you, if Elder Taishang sits down, what will happen to the Jiang family?"
Jiang Hui was stunned and speechless.
Jiang Tao glanced at him, and then said: "Now that the head of the family has reached the age of two thousand, the Jiang family is now ready to fall apart."
Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Father, what do you mean?"
Jiang Tao sighed, and then said: "Now that the Jiang family has reached the moment of life and death, if the Supreme Elder sits down, not to mention other hostile forces, even the other families in Tianling County who are dependent on the Jiang family, we will not be able to suppress it."
"And there are only five Jindan monks of our Jiang family besides me and you, if the Supreme Elder sits down..." Jiang Tao said and stopped here.
"Father, what are your plans?" Jiang Hui said immediately.
Jiang Tao looked at Jiang Hui, and then said, "Hui'er, after this birthday, you don't want to go back to the family, and you can cultivate in the sect with peace of mind."
"Father, now that the Jiang family is at a critical juncture, how can I leave the Jiang family?" Jiang Hui said immediately.
"Confused...". Jiang Tao drank heavily, and then said: "What role can you play as a monk who has just married Dan, but you are just buried with your family."
"If you can get married, I'm afraid that my Jiang family will not be happy." Jiang Tao said again.
"Father.. Me". Jiang Hui was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Tao.
"You are only in your forties, you are the youngest Jindan monk in the family, and you are also the most likely to break through the existence of the Yuan Infant."
Jiang Tao glanced at him, and then said: "According to legend, the Jiang family's ancestor Jiang Ran Cave Mansion is hidden in the Jiang family tree, you wait and go to the Jiang family ancestral hall with me to get the family tree."
Jiang Hui looked at Jiang Tao, and then said, "Father, don't be in such a hurry, right?"
Jiang Tao sighed, and then said, "Elder Taishang's time is running out."
"Father, Elder Taishang still has a few years to live?" Jiang Hui asked cautiously.
"January..". Jiang Tao looked into the distance and didn't know what he was thinking.
"What.." Jiang Hui looked at Jiang Tao in shock and didn't speak for a long time.
Ten minutes in the middle of the night.
Liang Zicheng's figure sneaked out of a guest room of the Jiang family, and then quickly explored the Jiang family.
Not long after, Liang Zicheng's eyes suddenly fell on a pavilion in the middle of a mansion.
This pavilion is not huge, but the ground is two floors except this one, and the rest of the houses are all more than three floors, which makes it particularly eye-catching.
The attic door is closed, and a pitch-black plaque is hung on it, with several big characters such as "Jiang Family Ancestral Hall" written in silver powder.
Liang Zicheng's face rose with a hint of discoloration, and after thinking about it, his figure suddenly disappeared, but the next moment he appeared in front of the attic.
This is the Jiang family ancestral hall, and the genealogy of the Jiang family must be placed in this.
In front of the attic stood several attendants of the ancestral hall with big shoulders and round waists, and the highest of these people was only the Great Perfection of Qi Training. Liang Zicheng, who had performed the invisibility technique, was naturally impossible to be discovered by them.
After just glancing at them casually, Liang Zicheng directly performed the escape technique and entered through the door.
As soon as you enter the door, rows of spiritual positions come into view, and these wooden plaques with hundreds of spiritual positions are arranged on the long tables around them, forming a long passage. The table at the later end was empty, as if reserved for those who came after him.
With a glance, although there were all kinds of Jiang names written on these tablets, Liang Zicheng had no interest in them at all.
Then Liang Zicheng carefully searched for the genealogy of the Jiang family on the first floor, but Liang Zicheng Liang Zicheng was disappointed that he did not find the genealogy here at all.
Liang Zicheng didn't stay long, and went directly to the second floor.
There are also some spiritual seats on the second floor, but they are obviously much more solemn. Not only are there more incense burners, sandalwood, but also a huge copper tripod is placed in the middle, which is filled with sesame oil and a thick cotton wick, and the candle flame is bright. It's awe-inspiring.
Liang Zicheng ignored all this, just stared blankly at a spirit card placed in the middle, and his body was motionless.
"Jiang Ran, the first head of the Jiang family".
After Liang Zicheng glanced at Jiang Ran's name, he began to search for the Jiang family tree.
It's just that to Liang Zi's sincerity, he didn't find any genealogy from this second floor at all.
"Yes". Soon Liang Zicheng found a secret compartment in the attic.
Walk to the side of the attic and press against what looks like an ordinary wall.
A "rattle" sound sounded.
Part of the wall was flipped over, revealing five or six images of brocade silk hanging from the inner layer.
Liang Zicheng took a few steps forward, standing still in front of an image. A portrait of a middle-aged monk is painted on it, and Jiang Ran, the first head of the Jiang family, is written below the portrait.
Liang Zicheng looked at the portrait again for a long time, and then restored the wall.
Liang Zicheng had just restored the walls of this attic, and suddenly there was a heavy sound of the attic door opening downstairs.
After Liang Zicheng heard this, he immediately used a stealth technique and quietly stood aside.
At this time, there were footsteps and the sound of the two talking from downstairs.
When this voice got closer and closer, Liang Zicheng immediately found that it was the sound of Jiang Hui and Jiang Tao talking.
"Hui'er, after this family banquet, you will return to the Heavenly Machine Sect, cultivate well, and then go to find the cave mansion of Jiang Ran's ancestor when you reach the middle stage of the Jiedan." Jiang Tao's voice came.
When Liang Zicheng heard Jiang Tao's words, he immediately became interested.
"Father rest assured". Jiang Hui nodded.
The sound of "oh" going upstairs came clearly. Jiang Hui and Jiang Tao appeared at the staircase one after the other.
"Hui'er, first put a stick of incense on the ancestral spirit card." Jiang Tao said slowly.
"Yes". Jiang Hui nodded, then picked up a stick of incense on the table and respectfully put a stick of incense on his ancestors.
Jiang Tao nodded, and then said, "Get up."
"It's the father". Jiang Hui immediately stood up.
Jiang Tao looked at Jiang Hui, and then said, "Hui'er, today I will pass on the genealogy of the Jiang family to you." In the future, the task of revitalizing the Jiang family will be entrusted to you."
"The child understands". Jiang Hui hurriedly arched his hand.
Jiang Tao nodded, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the table where the spirit tablets were enshrined, there was a mezzanine.
Liang Zicheng saw that Jiang Tao's gaze was a little strange, and his divine sense swept towards the spirit table with his gaze, and the codex in the mezzanine fell into his eyes.
Liang Zicheng lost the slightest interest in the codex the moment he saw it, he had already read it, it was not a genealogy at all, but a monk's notebook.
Jiang Tao raised his hand and beckoned to the table.
The light on the spiritual table flashed, and a cloud of green and soft light held a withered yellow manual, floated out of the table, and flew directly towards Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao grabbed the manual, shook slightly, and the light disappeared, and then handed the codex to Jiang Hui.
After Jiang Hui took the codex, he immediately asked, "Father, this is the family genealogy"?
"No, this is Elder Taishang's cultivation experience, he asked me to give this to you." Jiang Tao shook his head.
"Yes". Jiang Hui nodded, and then carefully took the codex.
Jiang Tao sighed, and then came to the place where Liang Zicheng had just opened the portrait.
Walk to the side of the attic and press against what looks like an ordinary wall.
A "rattle" sound sounded.
Part of the wall was flipped over, revealing five or six images of brocade silk hanging from the inner layer.
Jiang Tao took a few steps forward, standing in front of an image and not moving.
"Hui'er, kowtow to the first head of the family", Jiang Tao said after a while.
When Jiang Hui heard this, he immediately kowtowed to the first portrait.
Jiang Tao then knelt down: "The Jiang family has now reached the moment of life and death, and the unfilial descendant Jiang Tao took away the genealogy today..."
After Jiang Tao said for a long time, he slowly stood up.
Liang Zicheng looked at Jiang Tao suspiciously, he had just looked at that wall for a long time, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all.
Why is this Jiang Tao walking directly to the wall, is there any secret grid there?
Soon Jiang Tao came to a portrait of a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old smiling middle-aged man with a hint of stability on his face.
Jiang Tao carefully took down the portrait, and at this time Liang Zicheng found that the back of the portrait seemed to be full of words, and Jiang Ran was the one who ranked first.
"Hui'er, take it"? Jiang Tao immediately handed over the portrait to Jiang Hui.
