Chapter 280 Entering the Jiang Family and Meeting Jucai

The immortal boat took off into the air, accompanied by a hurricane, rising thousands of feet, with the clouds hanging from the bottom of the boat.

Gu Wen stood on the edge of the plywood, holding the railing with both hands, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

He asked the nun beside him: “How does it feel? It feels like you are completely free from the Buddha and the devil.”

At this moment, the aura from the Buddha Demon on the Jade Sword Buddha became increasingly weak, almost disappearing completely, leaving only a few traces.

She has initially refined the immortal status of Hou Tu, and her every move is in line with the Way of Heaven, which can mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

When I first met Jade Sword Buddha, she was like a white lotus that stood alone outside the world, untainted by the mundane world. If anyone other than Yu Hua had the most sense of cultivating immortals, it was Jade Sword Buddha.

Don’t care about worldly affairs, just be pure and clean.

After leaving the place of immortality, Gu Wen felt like he was just an empty shell, with a ball of Buddha’s light and black air intertwined inside.

Looking at it now, the Jade Sword Buddha finally looks a bit like a human, with three souls and seven spirits, energy and blood, a pulse, and a little bit of emotion.

The magic of the immortal position and the method of the great sage have the ability to reverse the world.

Gu Wen has not yet fully comprehended it, at least he cannot make the Jade Sword Buddha exist independently from the Buddha and Demon, and let Chiyuzi regenerate his three souls and seven spirits.

The only thing he could do was to keep Akabaneko by his side and use the sage’s rhyme to maintain the other party’s state of having one soul intact.

“A bit strange, and a bit cold?”

Jade Sword Buddha clasped his arms across his chest, then opened them again.

“It’s like having no clothes on. I feel uneasy without any restraints.”

“You’ll get used to it slowly.”

Gu Wen comforted him, and the Jade Sword Buddha realized a little, and then said: “In the world of cultivation, the body is like mud, which can be treated, reshaped, and molded. But the three souls and six spirits are unique. Some people can turn bones into flesh, but no one can give birth to souls.”

“The power of a saint is different. It is almost omnipotent. The immortal status allows me to reshape my three souls and seven spirits, and you can make Akabane’s soul complete.”

“What is the difference between the Lesser Saint and the Great Saint?”

The Jade Sword Buddha’s eyes were full of curiosity. The position of Hou Tu had begun to take shape, and she had become somewhat human.

Gu Wen replied, “They are essentially the same, only different in size. The Great Sage is everywhere, but I can only take care of my own little piece of land.”

“One acre?”

“To put it in a metaphor, the Great Sage is like the vast ocean, which can sublimate water vapor and benefit the world. I am a stream, which can also sublimate water vapor, but it is difficult to benefit the world.”

“The essence of the Great Saint and the Small Saint is the same, the only difference is size? But I still don’t understand, water is the same thing, but different places have different flavors, some are fresh and some are salty.”

“I have a family heirloom cave, which is a world of its own, but it is only a hundred acres, which is a million times smaller than the cultivation world.”

“I want to take a look.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wen waved his hand and the Jade Sword Buddha disappeared on the spot.

In the cave, the little nun and the cat group looked at each other.

“Cat, entertain the guests.”

“Okay, Immortal.”

Cat Group and Jade Sword Buddha looked at each other, and then kept looking at each other without any sound.

In the outside world, Chiyuzi came and saw that the Jade Sword Buddha was not there. He asked and learned that he had entered the heirloom cave.

She complained: “Your cave is so stuffy. The avenue is different from the outside world. I dare not try my luck when I enter it.”

At first, Akabane liked the heirloom cave very much, thinking it was a perfect place for seclusion, and could even be used to avoid the legendary catastrophe of heaven and earth.

However, once she entered, she only stayed for one day.

Gu Wen shook his head and said, “The incomplete heaven and earth are naturally inferior to heaven and earth. If they could be compared with heaven and earth, then the Heavenly Saint would have come down. In addition to the cultivation world, there is another great world.”

“To create a new world? Will the Heavenly Saint allow it?”

Chiyuzi did not doubt that Gu Wen had this ability, but he was suspicious of the omnipresent Tiansheng.

Tiansheng does not allow the dead to be resurrected, resulting in Yu Hua having no clue about his resurrection.

Gu Wen paused and raised a finger, as if communicating something.

“Tiansheng said that the existence of the great world independent of heaven and earth is the same as non-existence, and it cannot affect heaven and earth.”

“The great judge is really open-minded. He just doesn’t want to make special exceptions.”

Akabane muttered softly, she still had awe for the saint.

Gu Wen explained: “Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. Saints are unkind and treat the people as straw dogs.”

When Akabane heard this, she immediately nodded in agreement.

“Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and saints are not benevolent!”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Gu Wen shook his head, then patiently answered: “Heaven and earth are selfless, allowing everything to be natural, so everything is born and destroyed on its own. Death is not caused by the cruelty of a saint, and life is not caused by the benevolence of a saint.”

“The universe is round and square. If you poke a hole in the circle or dig a hole in the ground, even the smallest hole will destroy the roundness of the world.”

There is no hostility between Tiansheng and him.

It’s just that everyone has his own desires and his own path.

Gu Wen doesn’t care why Tiansheng wants to establish the Heavenly Court. As long as it suits his wishes, he will go with the flow.

On the contrary, Tiansheng would not care what would happen after Gu Wen became stronger. He just wanted the heaven and earth to be balanced and the yin and yang to be in order.

“If the Great Sage takes the initiative to do something, then it is not anyone’s problem, but a problem with the heaven and earth itself.”

Akabane seemed to understand, but not quite. He only understood that saints are selfless and that the Tao follows nature.

“You would do the same? Selfless and public-spirited.”

If this is the case, then the Jiang family matter…

Gu Wen grinned and said, “Almost. If I encounter something I’m not interested in, it’s naturally none of my business.”

“…”

Akabane’s expression suddenly changed a bit, and Gu Wen asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

“No…nothing.”

Chi Yuzi shook her head repeatedly, looking like she couldn’t hide her thoughts at all. Seeing that she didn’t want to answer, Gu Wen took out the Taiyin bottle without asking any more questions. A ray of Tiansheng Dao rhyme spread, and all kinds of thoughts floated over the immortal boat.

[Something might have really happened to the Jiang family. What should I say? Forget it. Now the arrow is on the string. It will arrive at the Jiang family in less than half a day…]

The thoughts were intermittent. Gu Wen could get a glimpse of his thoughts, but he couldn’t understand them more deeply.

Chi Yuzi’s cultivation level was close to that of an immortal, and he was already half a step away from transcendence. However, Taiyin, one of the Nine Lights, obviously couldn’t read the mind of an immortal. As Yu Hua said, he could no longer read minds after becoming an immortal.

But to Gu Wen, this was just a small toy. Knowing people’s hearts was useless to him. He would just give it away when he met the right one in the future.

Lu Chan is quite suitable.

After putting away the Taiyin bottle, Chi Yuzi suddenly said with a serious face: “Gu Wen, the Jiang family may really have been found to have problems. If it is true, it is very likely that the whole family will be executed.”

Gu Wen said: “Go and see the real person, and everything will be clear.”

“What are you going to do then? Are you going to cover up for me? If you want to cover up for me, throw me into the heirloom. Otherwise, just nod your head and I’ll help you.”

Akabane clenched his right fist and a ray of golden light burst out, breaking through the clouds ahead for dozens of miles.

“I can handle everything before the immortal boat arrives.”

Gu Wen said calmly: “Akayuzi, you and I should be the most compatible people. You don’t have to worry about me, I will kill you.”

“Well, if you can’t do it then, you must let me do it.”

Akabane scratched his head, sighed, and frowned, looking even more anxious than Gu Wen.

“I have seen your little brother before. He had no talent for cultivation and could only stack golden elixirs with pills. The life span of a golden elixir is 500 years. If he can live that long now, there must be something wrong with him. I am afraid he has used some evil skills.” “Jiang Jucai should be fine. I met him in Dao Sect ten years ago. As the head of the Jiang family, he should have no problem with frequent contacts with major alchemy sects.”

“When the time comes, we will only arrest the culprit, and Dao Zong will also have an explanation.”

Akabane chattered incessantly, and some of his words were comforting. This is what it means to have a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Gu Wen nodded calmly in response, his eyes looking into the distance, without much emotion.

He is not a man of indecision, and he will not hesitate when it is time to act. If Jiang Fugui really becomes an evil cultivator who eats people, Gu Wen will let him die without any pain.

But his calmness did not come from this. He still believed that Jiang Fugui would not commit cannibalism.

I recall the time when I was a beggar, and a piece of coarse bread was used to express my gratitude to you.

At that time, Jiang Fugui was just a small teahouse owner. He rented the shop and borrowed the rent. He was on the verge of bankruptcy during a disaster year.

Then his original wife ran away with someone else, leaving the young Jiang Jucai alone.

The old man had a strong sense of crisis. Before he went bankrupt, he often came to Gu Wen, a senior beggar, to learn from him. He paid Gu Wen a piece of cake every time. He also said that if the teahouse closed down one day and he couldn’t pay off his debts, he would come here to beg.

A piece of cake was nothing to Jiang Fugui at that time, but to Gu Wen, it was life-saving food.

Then Gu Wen entered the palace and pulled Jiang Fugui along.

Only then did the great merchants come into being.

————–

The ancestral land of the Jiang family.

A man seven feet tall, with a broad forehead, handsome features, wearing a black robe and with a dignified temperament, was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and practicing.

Under the effect of the spirit gathering array, the surrounding spiritual energy condensed into crystal clear dewdrops on the wall.

Every breath he took brought up a huge amount of spiritual energy.

This person is the nominal leader of Danqingzhou, the leader of the Dan League formed by the joint efforts of various Dan sects, and the most powerful True Lord in the world today.

The second ancestor of the Jiang family is Jiang Jucai.

Suddenly, a divine thought flew over, and it was full of coldness, which made people shudder just by hearing it.

“Recently, there are many insects from Zhenwu Palace in Danqingzhou.”

He replied: “Danqing Sect produces elixirs, and it is a rich place in the world, so Dao Sect will naturally keep a close eye on it. Even if you want to investigate, you should investigate other places. Your Tianmo Sect has been very rampant in recent years.”

“Nearly ten million people go missing every year. In Danqingzhou alone, the number of missing people is only a hundred thousand. Looking around the world, only Xuanhuangzhou can be compared with us.”

A laugh came from the cold divine thought: “How much can a Yuanying stage eat with an open stomach? Ten thousand is too much.”

Jiang Jucai said: “My father doesn’t want to eat more.”

“Don’t want to eat more?”

Shen Nian’s laughter became even more outrageous, as if he had heard some kind of joke.

“One, ten thousand, or even a million, are all the same to Dao Zong. They all have to die. Do you think you can avoid a few more beatings by eating less? Why not go all out and fight for immortality? If you can become an immortal, where in the world can you not go?”

“Our ancestor is only half a step away from ascending to immortality. If you can provide two million blood foods within ten years, you will also enjoy immortality.”

Jiang Jucai would never agree to this and refused, “I only promised you to provide a channel for the elixir, nothing else.”

Tens of millions of people go missing every year, which can be distributed among thirty-six states, hundreds of large cities, millions of towns, and tens of millions of villages. In fact, it is not a particularly large number. On average, one person goes missing and one person dies for every thousand people.

Danqing Prefecture had only 10 million people, and the sudden loss of 2 million people allowed Dao Zong to directly dispatch troops to encircle and suppress Danqing Prefecture.

“To eat one person is a sin, to eat ten thousand people is to be a demon. Your father is no longer a human. It is better to fall into the path of the devil and share the great Changle Heaven.”

The divine thoughts were like a bewitching trick that continuously transmitted various methods, all of which were methods of practicing martial arts by eating humans.

Jiang Ju would never learn it. If this kind of skills were truly omnipotent, the Demonic Sect would not become a rat crossing the street.

He said: “Saving ten thousand people and eating one person will cancel out the merits and demerits.”

“Hypocrisy, do you think Dao Zong will care so much about you? Even if you save millions of people, Dao Zong will still kill you in the end.”

Jiang Jucai closed his eyes, and his cold mind kept nagging for a full half hour before he left in disappointment.

After another hour, another divine thought came, this time it was from a cultivator from the Jiang family.

“Second Grandfather, Jiang Ning sent a message saying that he met a powerful senior who had a connection with the Jiang family. The letter said that he seemed to have a very good relationship with Chi Tianzun.”

An old friend of the Jiang family?

I guess he’s here to make connections again.

“What kind of cultivation?”

“I don’t know. It’s not mentioned in the document. But based on past experience, the person brought back by the young master is most likely another charlatan.”

Jiang Jucai said: “Please entertain them for me and show your courtesy. If there are any Mahayana cultivators or above, please inform me.”

He might be a liar, but the Jiang family never lacks a meal.

Two hours later, a divine thought came.

“Second Grandfather, the guests have arrived, but I can’t tell their level of cultivation.”

“What’s the origin?”

“I haven’t seen you. I don’t know. The guest said he wanted to see you.”

see me?

Jiang Jucai looked thoughtful and had several guesses in his mind.

Perhaps it was another Inspector visiting in plain clothes.

He pondered for a moment and decided that he had to meet him. Otherwise, if he was really someone from the Zhenwu Palace, he would have to deal with him in many ways if he offended him.

And I’ve been a little sensitive lately.

————–

On the other side, Jiang’s reception hall.

The chairs are made of mahogany and cushioned with gold threads, and there are antiques like clouds and porcelain like paintings.

It is extremely elegant and luxurious
Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi were both rough people and could not appreciate these things, but Xie Yunnan had some understanding of this and could answer them one by one.

The antiques in the cultivation world are mostly fragments of magic weapons. The so-called antiquity is more about the method. This method is very old, and who is the prototype of this one?

The implication is that Gu Wen doesn’t care, but when he hears that pieces of scrap copper and iron can be sold at high prices, his eyes light up.

Because he really had no money left, and now he only had less than two hundred high-grade spirit stones.

It’s not even enough for a meal of Nine-Revolution Golden Pill Pig’s Trotters.

Suddenly, the conversation stopped and the sound of footsteps came closer.

The butler-like steward and the maids lowered their heads quickly and could only see the black skirt passing by.

Jiang Jucai walked over with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and just as he took half a step into the lobby, his whole body froze as if he had turned into a stone sculpture.

Jiang Ning stepped forward and offered his courtesy, saying, “Second Grandfather, I brought back three seniors. This senior Hongchen said that he has an old relationship with the Great Grandfather, and he came all the way here just to meet him.”

“And this is Chi Tianzun, the legendary Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun.”

“This is a disciple from Zhejian Mountain.”

Jiang Ning introduced himself with great enthusiasm. No one in the entire hall spoke except him. Gradually, he realized something was wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller and gradually disappeared.

thump!
Grandfather Jiang II knelt down. He stared blankly at the ordinary Taoist in green, his eyes full of disbelief, wondering if he had been under an illusion.

He stumbled and asked, “Master Wen, are you out?”

Gu Wen said calmly: “Jucai, you have become much stronger.”
