Chapter 12: The Lord of Dancheng

Another month passed, and at noon that day, a cloud of calamity appeared over the courtyard. Zhang Xun knew that this meant that Xin Lan's Life Creation Pill had been refined. Of course, Xin Lan will not spend the Dan Tribulation in this courtyard, there is a stone forest next to the courtyard, which is quite suitable for the Tribulation. From the beginning, the owner of Xu Fang knew that the pill refined by Xin Lan would inevitably cause a tribulation, and letting Zhang Xun and his party live in another courtyard was also decided after considering the factors of the tribulation, which was indeed a lot more convenient.

There was a calamity cloud formation in Fang City, and of course the Fang Master Xu knew that it must have been Xin Lan who had completed the refining of the Life Creation Pill that he was going to give to the City Lord of Dan City, which led to the Dan Tribulation. For the Dan King who suddenly appeared in Tianhuafang City, Xu Fang Master was still very grateful. Not to mention anything else, just the perfect Dan Fang of the Foundation Pill and He Xinlan's experience in refining this Dan is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Xu family to rise. In order to prevent some monks from disturbing the Danwang tribulation without knowing the truth, the owner of Xu Fang sent his housekeeper Qi Botao to post notices everywhere in Fang City when there were signs of the formation of the clouds, saying that there would be a thunderstorm in the stone forest, and for the sake of safety, please do not stay near the stone forest. After posting the notice, Qi Botao came to guard outside the stone forest.

This is Xin Lan's second tribulation, and the power of the Dan Tribulation is much smaller than that of the Ascension Tribulation. With experience, Xin Lan was calm and unhurried in the face of the thunderstorm that fell from the sky, without any pressure. Soon, the clouds dispersed, and Xin Lan smiled and said to her husband Zhang Xun and the four sisters who came up: "The Life Creation Pill refined this time has reached the top grade of the Heavenly Rank, and we can leave for Dan City." ”

A month later, Zhang Xun and his party arrived outside the city of Dancheng. Dancheng is the holy place in the minds of all Dan Xiu in Penglai Immortal Island, almost half of the Dan Xiu above the alchemy master are cultivated here, with the wealth of the middle and high-level Dan Xiu, the construction of Dan City is naturally excellent. It's just that outside the city gate, Zhang Xun and his party, who have not yet entered the city, just glanced at it, and deeply felt that the heritage of Dancheng was too deep. Especially Zhang Xun and the five ladies from the Wenchang Continent, they couldn't imagine that in the Xiuzhen world, there is such a spectacular city that is not inferior to Xianyang and Luoyang.

After entering Dancheng, I learned that Dancheng stipulated that cultivators who were not alchemists could only enter the inner city if they had reached the Jindan stage of cultivation. Xin Lan and Hu Xian'er, who are the Dan King and the Alchemy Grandmaster, can each bring two followers into the inner city, but it is better not to bring them all than to keep the team organized. Zhang Xun and the five wives first found a place in the outer city to settle the eight disciples and let them make their own arrangements. With the current level of tacit understanding of the team, as long as it doesn't fall on the head of the Yuanying Monk, there is still no problem in self-preservation. After arranging the disciples, Zhang Xun and the five ladies entered the inner city.

The residence of the lord of Dancheng is located in the middle of the inner city and was built more than 1,000 years ago together with the Danzu Temple. For more than 1,000 years, no matter who is in charge of the ups and downs, the City Lord's Mansion and Danzu Temple have always been the landmark buildings of Dancheng. Of course, the Danzu Temple is dedicated to the Yandi Shennong, and the relationship between the two daughters of Xinlan and Hu Xian'er and Danzu is that there is no reason to see the temple and not worship. Since it is known as the landmark building of Dancheng, the Danzu Temple in Dancheng is of course extraordinary, and the incense is also very vigorous. Zhang Xun and his entourage came to the Danzu Temple, and what they saw was a lifelike statue of Danzu. Zhang Xun, Murong Xue, Bihe, and Yuchan just thought that the carving was really good, it was too expressive! Xin Lan and Hu Xian'er were completely stunned, if nothing else, this statue was a full-body portrait of Danzu in real proportions, as if Danzu was there in person. The facial expression of the statue, the two women are very familiar, Hu Xian'er was seriously injured, on the verge of life and death, the Yan Emperor Shennong encountered is the appearance of the statue, thousands of years have passed, she has become a nine-tailed sky fox, but the master's voice and smile have long been deeply imprinted in the heart; although Xin Lan did not have the opportunity to see the Yan Emperor himself, but in the place of Shennong's inheritance, there is a divine consciousness clone left by the Yan Emperor before he became a god, and now when he sees this statue, he can't help but recall the scene of his own test in the cave. After a long time, the two girls woke up from their memories, knelt down in front of the statue, and made a joint vow to dedicate everything to the revival of Dandao.

After the two women stood up, Zhang Xun said: "The revival of Dan Dao is the same as the revival of Wen Dao, it is by no means something that can be completed by a few Dandi Dan Emperors, only when the broad public participates, can it be said to be "Xing", otherwise it will be a gust of wind, and it will be gone." Xin Lan, I think it's time for you to take out the Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra and share it with the majority of alchemists. Among the three treasures of Shennong, "Shennong's Hundred Herbs" is the most important, and it is the true inheritance of Emperor Yan. At present, we have no influence in Penglai Immortal Island, and it is better for the city lord of Dancheng to come forward in this matter. Sister Xian, when Shennong tasted herbs, his original intention was to cure diseases and save people. The main reason why you haven't made an inch of progress in alchemy for many years and have been overtaken by Xinlan is not because Xinlan has been inherited by Shennong, but because you don't have the heart of a healer. With the compassionate heart of the Yan Emperor Shennong's clan, will you not hand over the inheritance to you because of your identity as a fox clan and leave it to those who are destined to do so? Since you vowed to revitalize the Dan Dao just now, let's start by curing the disease and saving people!" Hu Xian'er said: "Xunlang, your analysis is really thorough! Indeed! Although I have long since turned into a human form, I have never really integrated into the human world, so it is time to make up for it. After meeting the city lord, I will open a medical clinic in the outer city. ”

The City Lord's Mansion was not far from the Danzu Temple, but in a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xun and his party came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Xin Lan took out the worship sticker prepared in advance and handed it to the guard in front of the door, and said, "He Xinlan, the inheritor of the Danzu mantle, came to visit the city lord, please help me hand the worship sticker in." The guard said, "Wait here, and I will go in and give the sticker to the king of the house." In addition to her identity on the surface, Xin Lan's worship post also has a clear sentence at the beginning of "Shennong's Hundred Herbs Sutra", and the city lord of Dancheng or the head of the king will know that Xin Lan is indeed the heir of Danzu at a glance. After a while, the chief manager came out and said, "Let a few distinguished guests wait for a long time, go in with the old man!"

When they came to the meeting room and saw the city lord, Zhang Xun and the six people saluted the city lord one after another. After receiving this gift, the city lord said: "Then the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra" is in your hands, right! Maybe you can give the city lord a look?" Xin Lan said: "This is the full text of the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra" that Xin Lan copied at the beginning, please take a look at the city lord. "With the level of the peak Dandi of the Dancheng City Lord, it will only look like three or five minutes, and I will roughly finish it. Confirming that it was the true "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra", the city lord of Dancheng thought in his heart, "Even if the little girl in front of me who calls herself Xinlan is not the successor of Danzu, I can't despise her, let's hear what she has first." The city lord of Dancheng put down the book and said: "Among you except for the fox, you are too young, I must not know the old man! Although the old man Ye Wentian said that he was the city lord of Dancheng eight hundred years ago, since you have a relationship with Danzu, it is too obvious to call me the city lord, so it is better to call me Uncle Ye from now on." Niece Xinlan, tell me to your Uncle Ye, what is the matter with coming to Dancheng?" Xin Lan said: "Uncle Ye, niece Xinlan has been in retreat and alchemy since she received the inheritance of Master Danzu. Four years ago, he was lucky enough to refine Shennong Baisheng Dan and became a Dan King. After four years of accumulation, my niece thinks that she already has the strength to attack the Dan Emperor, so she has come to visit Uncle Ye! This is the Life and Creation Pill that my niece refined last month, and it is a little bit of my niece's heart, and I ask Uncle Ye to accept it. Ye Wentian took the pill bottle and exclaimed, "What? You have refined the Life Creation Pill, and the pill effect has even reached half of the effect of the Danzu pro-refinement, which is great! Hanxiang She can finally wake up." After finishing speaking, he couldn't care about Xinlan and them, and strode out of the living room.

Mr. Wang saw that Zhang Xun and the six people were confused, so he had to tell them about his master's dusty past. It turned out that Ye Wentian's Taoist companion Jiang Hanxiang was poisoned by Tian Juesheng, the first person in the poison Dao, known as "Heavenly Poison", ten years ago, when Ye Wentian came back, Jiang Hanxiang had already cut off his breathing, and he tried his best to save his lover's life, but Ye Wentian came back too late, and his lover finally became an unconscious living dead. From then on, Ye Wentian was no longer the high-spirited city lord of Dancheng, and he accompanied his lover in the ice coffin every day and night, talking non-stop. After listening to Mr. Wang's narration, Zhang Xun couldn't help but groan: "Ten years of life and death are boundless. Don't think about it. Unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost. The night comes to the dreamy hometown. Xiaoxuan window. I am dressing. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka. A female voice came from outside the door, "Good words, I didn't expect that I could hear such good words just after waking up." The words are full of tears, and every sentence is lovely. Of course, words are good words, this is "Jiangchengzi Yimao First Month 20th Night Dream"! In the history of Chinese poetry, there is a famous work of Su Shi that is the first to mourn for the death through the ages!

Ye Wentian and Jiang Hanxiang walked into the living room side by side, and Zhang Xun and Xinlan stepped forward to congratulate each other. Ye Wentian smiled and said to Xin Lan: "Xin Lan! You are not a simple husband! Introduce him to me and Han Xiang!" Xin Lan said: "Uncle Ye, Aunt Jiang, niece Xin Lan's husband Zhang Xun has been obsessed with literature and Taoism since he was a child, and he studied hard in the cold window, and when his niece first met him, he was still an unknown scholar. In an Oiran contest, Xun Lang attracted the spread of the holy sound with a peerless poem "When is the Bright Moon" and won the title of "Lifting People in Front of the Saint". Since then, Xunlang has been working hard to revitalize Wendao. It wasn't until Emperor Qin was born that he shifted his focus to Xiuzhen, but he has always maintained his exploration of Wendao, saying that "Wen carries the Tao and martial arts escort." "Xin Lan and several sisters have long been accustomed to the words and phrases he often blurts out. ”

In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Xun and his five wives stayed for three days before leaving. In these three days, Xin Lan became the new Dan Emperor, and the "Shennong Hundred Grass Sutra" was also carved by Ye Wentian, the lord of Dancheng, in front of the Danzu Temple, for the world to comprehend and comprehend. Ye Wentian announced Xin Lan's identity as the descendant of Danzu at the ceremony, and Dancheng Danxiu knew that it was Xin Lan who dedicated the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra" and honored him as the Sacred Heart Dan Emperor.
