Chapter Forty-Nine: The Haze of Hengshan
Jiang Daolin felt sorry for himself, in addition to worrying about his family, there was one more thing that made him sleep.
In the past ten years, in the territory of the Hengshan Empire, many cultivators with spiritual roots have disappeared for no reason. Not only the Jiang family, but also the Yunluo Li Murong family, the situation is not much different.
Could it be that what kind of force is arrogant and domineering, or does it secretly have ulterior motives? Jiang Daolin is the first two big ones.
A strong divine sense swept across the Jiang family, as if there was a big mountain, which pressed Jiang Daolin's qi and blood surged. This uncomfortable sense of oppression disappeared in a moment. There was something he didn't understand, so shocked that he crawled out of the cultivation room, arched his hands into the air, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know which senior is coming, Jiang Daolin greets the late, hoping to beg for forgiveness." ”
The person who passes by here must be a master of foundation building, and he has been in the Qinghuang Immortal Cultivation Realm, this will not be fake.
"Haha, Jiang's seniors don't come to be harmed, and the juniors are coming to visit. Without saying a word, a tall young man in black descended into the courtyard from mid-air.
The voice was so familiar, really, really he was back!
Jiang Daolin couldn't help but cry, the sky is pitiful, the Jiang family has been saved!
Jiang Daolin wiped away the old tears from the corners of his eyes, bowed down, and said: "I don't want Senior Zhang to return, little old man Jiang Daolin congratulates his predecessors on the success of the Great Road." ”
Zhang Ran looked at Jiang Daolin in front of him, he hadn't seen him for ten years, and he was much older. Cultivation is only in the middle of the qi, and there is no growth at all. In the secular mortal world, there is no aura, and it is no wonder that mortals have three calamities and nine tribulations. Although he has built a foundation, if it wasn't for Jiang Daolin's strong recommendation, this precious opportunity would have been missed by him.
Zhang Ran said gratefully: "The predecessors don't need to be like this, Zhang can have today, or thanks to the seniors, thank you Daoyou." Zhang is commensurate with his predecessors, and he should not be a senior. ”
Seeing that Zhang Ran was so polite, he didn't build a foundation at all, and he glanced at Zhang Ran in his heart. As soon as many monks entered the avenue, their temperament became as thin as water, this kid is still so nostalgic, he Jiang Daolin didn't see the wrong person.
Invited Zhang Ran to the living room, Jiang Daolin held a cup of hot tea, and Zhang Ran drank it all. Laughing, this tea is delicious. Happy Jiang Daolin's hands and feet danced wildly, and the wrinkles on his old face were flattened a lot.
From then on, the old man learned that his family had enjoyed wealth and prosperity in the imperial capital, and the whole family was fine, and his gratitude for this old man was added to his gratitude.
With a movement of his divine sense, Zhang Ran took out one hundred thousand spirit stones and handed them to Jiang Daolin. Jiang Daolin's eyes widened, and he was shocked beyond measure, this small hill-like spirit stone, the Jiang family has since walked out of the predicament, and it has been worry-free for a hundred years. Zhang Ran took out a large stack of talismans, and several sets of formations he had refined by himself were all handed over to Jiang Daolin.
With a "poof", Jiang Daolin knelt on the ground and couldn't cry. Zhang Ran hurriedly helped him up and put him on the chair.
Jiang Daolin choked up and asked, "Zhang Daoyou, I don't know why my granddaughter didn't come back together?"
Zhang Ran said: "Zhang and Jiang Wangqin entered the Ten Thousand Law Sect together. Jiang Daoyou has been accepted as a personal disciple by Danfeng of Wanfa Sect, and has formed a Taoist couple with the descendants of Danfeng Ancestor, so he wants to return to the Jiang family in the near future. ”
"Oh, I didn't expect that Wangqin had such an opportunity, and the Jiang family could be regarded as worry-free. Jiang Daolin was overjoyed.
However, this old man is also quite regretful in his heart, he thinks that he can forget Qin and Zhang Ran to become a Taoist couple, who knows that the world is impermanent.
"Ah, is Brother Zhang back, I can't forget the dust and miss it so much. Jiang Wangchen didn't know when he broke in.
Zhang Ran said: "Brother Forget Chen, it has always been good, Zhang is polite." ”
Jiang Daolin on the side gestured to Jiang Wangchen, but Jiang Wangchen didn't seem to see it, and only asked Zhang Ran about it.
Zhang Ran smiled and roughly explained his experience, which made him fascinated.
An hour later, Jiang Daolin took Zhang Ran and went straight to the imperial capital.
Stopping in front of a magnificent mansion, Zhang Ran did not rashly release his divine sense, but only stood quietly in front of the door, and his heart was already turbulent.
knocked on the jade ring of the Zhumen with his hand, and two subordinates dressed like domestic servants came out. They didn't recognize Zhang Ran, but they knew that Jiang Daolin, who was following behind, immediately bent their eyebrows and smiled, and leaned over to invite Jiang Daolin. Jiang Daolin's face turned cold, and he hurriedly invited Zhang Ran inside. The two gorgeously dressed servants opened their mouths wide, who else is more important than the identity of the emperor of the empire, so frightened that the two of them shrank their necks, they will not be fine.
The courtyard is extremely spacious and tidy, rockery ponds, flowers and trees, all of which exude the atmosphere of great wealth and nobility.
Zhang Ran immediately knelt down, burst into tears, and said, "Dad, mother, Ran'er is home." Xu was suppressed for too long, Zhang Ran couldn't help but cry.
There was a commotion, and several jeweled people walked out of the door. Walking in front of them were two old men with purple wood dragon crutches, all dressed in luxury, but it was difficult to hide their pale faces.
When Zhang Ran saw his father and mother at first glance, he walked forward on his knees and cried incessantly: "Dad, mother, don't you recognize your Ran'er?"
The second elder trembled violently, the purple wooden dragon turned aside, and the servants hurriedly picked it up.
"Ran'er, is it my Ran'er, is Ran'er back?" The old woman staggered to Zhang Ran, lowered her head and looked, who was not her own Ran'er?
The tears of these ten years, the days and nights of these ten years, the black hair has turned into twilight snow! Haggard has become a hopeless prayer! At the first meeting, the old man cried all over the world. The father stroked the mother's shoulder, wiped the old tears, and comforted the mother, "Child, isn't our Ran'er back, don't you let the child rest his feet."
The mother really stopped crying, held Zhang Ran's face, and looked at it carefully, for fear of missing a place. Jiang Daolin couldn't help but burst into tears, hey, the avenue, the avenue is ruthless.
As soon as the family entered the house, the yard was noisy for a while, and there were constant noises in and out of the courtyard, and people were crowded.
"Big brother. ”
"Brother. ”
Zhang Ran turned around, a man with a short chin beard and a short and fat brocade robe, rushed towards him, Zhang Ran froze, this, this is Zhang Bao?
The man knelt down at his feet, hugged Zhang Ran's legs with both hands, and cried earth-shatteringly.
A dazzling lady pounced on Zhang Ran, and one couldn't dodge, so she lay in his arms and sobbed. Oh my God, isn't this the crown princess, someone in the crowd whispered.
The noble lady raised her tear-stained eyes, and Zhang Ran murmured: "Xiaohui, you are Xiaohui, the eldest brother can't recognize it." ”
Zhang Ran looked up at the people in the courtyard, his brows furrowed slightly. Jiang Daolin is so shrewd, the matter of accompanying Zhang Ran in person must be known to everyone in the capital. These dignitaries and nobles, royal relatives, are afraid that they will come to please one by one. Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't like people and being noisy, he immediately ordered to drive people out.
"Fellow Daoists, wait. In the divine sense, an old man appeared, and Zhang Ran explained to the servant next to him.
Duanmu Jin was dressed in a purple python robe, and when he saw Zhang Ran, he bowed his hand, and his heart was mixed. I don't want the two to meet, but it is such an occasion, with a huge disparity in identity.
Zhang Ran arched his hand and smiled: "I don't want to meet Brother Duanmu, is it okay to say goodbye?"
Duanmu Jin said ashamedly: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhang is already an immortal, and Duanmu is still stubborn and dusty, not as much as Brother Zhang, and he is ashamed." ”
"Be polite, you and I don't have to be like this, I hope that Brother Zhang will take care of his family more in the future, Zhang is grateful. Zhang Ran said.
"Where, the things of the kind, I don't dare to ask for it. "Duanmu Jin is very happy, although Zhang Ran is not what it used to be, this person has not changed.
Behind closed doors, the family sat together.
Daddy's mood stabilized, but her eyes didn't leave Zhang Ran for a moment. Zhang Bao was beside a delicate-looking woman, holding a baby in her arms. The husband and wife hurriedly got up, Zhang Ran hurriedly shook his hand and said, there is no need to be polite. After that, Zhang Ran stretched out his hand to hug the little baby, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't want to, the little baby actually smiled at Zhang Ran. Looking at the extremely satisfied appearance of Zhang Bao's family, I felt very comforted.
Xiaohui hugged the princess and His Royal Highness the Prince, and also rushed to greet him. The prince was full of joy, and he didn't want his eldest brother to be so heroic, and the Yokoyama Empire was as stable as a rock from then on.
Zhang Ran held the baby boy in his left hand and the princess in his right hand, looked left and right, the two children smashed their small mouths, and looked at their uncle and uncle with dark eyes. Zhang Ran was reluctant to let go of any of them, I don't know if these two children have spiritual roots, the children are too young to be measured. If there really is, can I let my children and their parents live and die, depending on the chance.
As soon as his consciousness moved, Zhang Ran took out a pair of jade bracelets and gently placed them in swaddling clothes. Before coming, Zhang Ran was inspired by Lu Yilan, and also went to the magic store to buy a pair, and now, it finally declined. Everyone was amazed, but they didn't see where the bracelet came from, is this a method of immortals? The two families looked at each other and smiled, it seems that their eldest brother has not yet married and started a family, so this matter cannot be ignored.
On the days of reuniting with his family, Zhang Ran lived extremely comfortably. He doesn't practice either, he laughs with the second elder all day long, and teases his little nephew and niece.
On this day, Jiang Daolin came to visit and saw that his face was pale and not as rosy as before. Zhang Ran let him go to the living room and asked each other in a voice.
Jiang Daolin said anxiously: "Zhang Daoyou, the territory of Hengshan is not peaceful. After a while, the cultivators of the Spiritual Root Passage Period disappeared inexplicably. My Jiang family was fortunate to find a few people, but a few people were missing. ”
Zhang Ran was surprised and said, "Do you know who did it?"
Jiang Daolin shook his head bitterly, his face frustrated.
Zhang Ran lowered his head and pondered, why the missing person was a spiritual root. Remembering over and over again the jade slips I had read, could it be an evil cultivator? Only an evil cultivator would come up with these three indiscriminate means to improve his own cultivation. That's not right, this kind of evil cultivation that doesn't cultivate hard, specializes in using tricks to improve the realm, and harms people's lives, the Qinghuang Immortal Cultivation Realm is not merciless in attacking this. It is very difficult for evil cultivators to gain a foothold, and it has not yet been discovered.
Is it because he can't mess around in the immortal cultivation realm and has run to the secular realm? Evil cultivators devour people's souls and absorb essence and blood, so as to refine magic weapons and improve their realm.
Zhang Ran said: "Jiang Daoyou, how many cultivators in the Jiang family still have a spiritual root?"
"There are still seven people, if this continues, the Jiang family will be in great trouble. Jiang Daolin said bitterly.
Zhang Ran said: "In this way, Zhang will go back to Jiang's house with his fellow Daoists, but I want to see who did this." ”
When Jiang Daolin heard this, his heart was half relieved.
