[By the way, you are updating so diligently, brothers and sisters, do you have the support of first subscription and monthly pass?]
Half a month passed, and the renovation of Kunlun Villa was finally completed. Xiaoyu was still in seclusion refining the mandrill demon power, but Wang Yi had already taken care of himself in advance. After experiencing a romantic life and death, he seemed to have become much more mature all of a sudden. His speech and behavior were less wild and unruly, and more calm and serious.
As a friend, Jiang Chen was both happy and sad about Wang Yi's growth. He was happy that after he became calm and solid, he would naturally make more progress in the future, both as an official and as a person. What was sad was that this progress came in the form of It was achieved by sacrificing part of his nature.
"Taoist Master Zhiqiu, thanks to your care during these days, I was able to survive the disaster safely." In the new hall, Wang Yi was full of gratitude in his words: "It's just that Xiaosheng has been away from home for a long time, and I miss him a lot. My parents and my wife at home, so I came here to say goodbye today.”
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded, "It's indeed time for you to go home." But then, his voice changed and he asked again: "But before you go home, you should think carefully. Think about how you should treat your family after you go back. Not to mention your parents, the most important thing is your wife Chen."
"This..." Hearing this, Wang Yi was slightly startled, his face full of guilt: "Thank you, Taoist Master Zhiqiu, for reminding me. To be honest, I have been seriously injured and bedridden these days, and I often reflect on the past. , I always feel that the person I am most sorry for in this life is my wife Chen. She and I were childhood sweethearts, and we were a young couple. Over the years, because I have to concentrate on my studies, I have been neglecting her, but she respects me very much, and my parents are proud of me. I am old, thanks to her filial piety, but when I was studying, I did that romantic act and caused trouble. I really can't help her, let alone the past teachings of my parents. In the future, I will definitely Honor your parents twice as much and cherish your wife, and there will be no difference in your life."
"Okay!" Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "Although you have gone through life and death, if Mr. Wang can understand the true feelings of the world, it will be considered a blessing. However, you must not just talk about it. , remember what you say today, and you will surely gain something in the future.”
"Ashamed, ashamed." Wang Yi said repeatedly: "Master Zhiqiu, but please don't worry. As the saying goes, there are gods three feet above the head, let alone in front of the statue of Sanqing. Once I leave my mouth, I can't exchange it for a thousand pieces of gold, and it's hard for a horse to chase me." !”
"In that case, let's go." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Remember to say hello to your Majesty for me. If you have time, you might as well come and sit on the mountain. Although I intend to travel far away to experience the world of mortals, I at least want to stay here Half a year later."
"Farewell." Wang Yi bowed his hands and saluted, turned around and left. Not long after, he walked through the courtyard and out of the gate of the Taoist temple, letting the wind and moon blow on his face, leaving no clear waves.
Jiang Chen watched him go away, then he chuckled and took action on his own initiative. The Taoist temple was rebuilt, and the forbidden formation used for defense still needed to be rearranged by him. The Taoist temple was not large in area, and the foundation of the original formation was still there. , Therefore, with his current cultivation and magic power, it is not too difficult to rearrange the formation.
After working hard for three or four days, Jiang Chen rearranged the formations inside and outside Kunlun Villa before settling down and concentrating on consolidating his increased cultivation power on the mountain to avoid using the reincarnation talent and Netherworld. Using tricks in the soul refining technique will make your own foundation unstable, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Furthermore, he doubled strengthened the talent of absorbing souls obtained from the mandrill. Now, at the critical moment of transformation, his practice is more efficient than ever before. Therefore, he forcibly suppressed the desire to leave the mountain in advance. Instead of thinking, he devoted himself to practicing hard and improving martial arts and Taoism.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed. On the first day of the new month, Wang Yi took his parents Gaotang, his wife Chen, and his cousin Wang Erlang to the mountain to offer incense. Of course, the main reason for their trip was I want to pay a visit to Jiang Chen and express the Wang family’s gratitude.
Wang Yi was so confused by the mandrill that he almost lost his life. He originally wanted to hide it from his parents and wife. However, he still underestimated his parents' attention to him and his wife's attentiveness. Therefore, a few days after arriving home, he After being interrogated by Mr. Wang, his parents and wife were horrified and happy at the same time. Naturally, they were very grateful to Jiang Chen, the Taoist priest who saved Wang Yi's life. Since it was difficult to go up the mountain immediately after the fifteenth day, a family of four decided to come at the beginning of the next month.
Yes, there is a family of four, Wang Erlang is not included. The reason why he came is because he heard about what happened to his cousin Wang Yi, and he was very fond of Jiang Chen, a Taoist priest who could subjugate demons and possess powerful spells. It was because he was interested, and secondly, because a good friend of his was in a similar crisis and wanted to go up the mountain to pray for help to see if there was any way to rescue him.
He went up the mountain with full gratitude, so Jiang Chen naturally had to receive him well. Since he could be regarded as a monk now, there was no need to avoid anything, and he directly invited the Wang family and his entourage to have tea in the side hall.
Mr. Wang is in his forties or fifties. He has a slender figure. Although he is old, he is not obese. He has a fairly clean appearance. He has a mustache and a long half-white beard on his chin. He smiles very gently and speaks. Even more elegant: "This time the child is in trouble, thanks to Taoist Master Zhiqiu's efforts to rescue him, otherwise, the child may not escape with his life."
"That's serious." Jiang Chen quickly responded humbly: "Not to mention that Xiaodao and Wang Gongzi live next to each other. It is a fate. In addition, Xiaodao and Wang Gongzi have a deep friendship. Friends are in trouble? How can we Just sit back and ignore it? Besides, subduing demons is a matter within our sect. How dare you come to thank me personally, Mr. Wang?"
"Hey, what Taoist Master Zhiqiu said is wrong!" Mr. Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No matter what the reason is, Taoist Master saved the child's life. This is an indisputable fact. Furthermore, I heard that Taoist Master saved the child's life. Furthermore, I heard that the Taoist Master saved the child's life. Moreover, I heard that the Taoist Master saved the child's life. During the battle, the Taoist temple was severely damaged. It must have cost a lot of money to rebuild the Taoist temple. My family also has a small amount of money. I went up the mountain today to bring some offerings to nourish the gods. I also hope that Qiu Taoist Master will despise all things." During this time, he ordered the accompanying servants to present one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and some rice grains, incense, and candles.
"Where." Jiang Chen has experienced several reincarnations, and even broke into the palace. He has never seen any treasures, let alone some gold, silver, and silk. However, after all, this is someone's kindness, and he is not too good. He refused, otherwise it would make people suspect that he had some bad intentions. At that moment, he had no choice but to respond: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Wang for his kindness."
"Haha..." Mr. Wang couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw Jiang Chen readily accepting the money he offered. "Chief Zhiqiu is indeed a cheerful person."
"Mr. Wang, please have tea." Jiang Chen smiled and held up the tea bowl, paying respect to each other from a distance. He didn't feel at all embarrassed about accepting money from others and taking advantage of others.
In the side hall, everyone drank tea and talked, the wind was brisk, and they were getting along very happily. At noon, Jiang Chen left them to have a fast meal in the Taoist temple. During this period, Jiang Chen often saw a look of hesitation between Wang Erlang's eyebrows. I suddenly knew that the other party must be in trouble, and maybe he could win over me, so I put a fennel bean in his bowl while eating.
After lunch, the Wang family said goodbye and left. Jiang Chen sent them to the mountain gate and watched them drift away until the figure completely disappeared from sight, but they still stood at the door. After a while, a person came on the mountain road. It was none other than Wang Erlang.
"I've met Taoist Master Zhiqiu!" Wang Erlang turned around to the Taoist temple and saw Jiang Chen standing in front of the mountain gate, as if waiting for someone. He quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You are indeed back."
Wang Erlang bowed his head and responded: "Earlier at the dinner table, the Taoist priest took a fennel bean for me. Didn't you just want me to go back and find the Taoist priest alone?"
"He's a wise man." Jiang Chen asked with a smile, "Tell me, why are you here looking for me?"
Wang Erlang said: "It's not for myself, but for a good friend of mine, named Liu Xun. His ancestral home is Changshan. Later, his family moved to Guobei County. He is a studious person. We got to know each other through a cultural gathering." , had similar temperaments, and became good friends. A few months ago, he suddenly fell ill with a strange illness. He drank like water every day, and was drunk every day. Later, he drank into mud and lay in bed, unable to get up, but he still had to drink. , if he stopped drinking, it would be like killing him. His parents and wife tried to seek medical advice for him, but there was no improvement. His family had no choice, so they posted notices everywhere, whether they were Taoist priests or doctors, as long as they If I can save his life, I will reward him with a thousand pieces of gold."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Jiang Chen became somewhat interested. Although he knew the result might not be too good, he still asked, "What happened next?"
Wang Erlang smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. As soon as this announcement came out, a lot of people came. At the beginning, they were just some wandering doctors, and then various Taoist monks and even some people came. There are Mipo and Chumaxian from the countryside, there are really all kinds of people, but after all this trouble, my good friend Liu Xun not only did not get better, but lost half his life."
After a slight pause, he bowed to the end and said: "Taoist Master Zhiqiu, I know you are a master with supernatural powers. I beg you, please go and save my friend's life."
"Huh?" After a deep groan, Jiang Chen quickly stretched out his hand to help him up in the air, and said: "Saving people from difficulties is exactly what my master taught me. Why do I need you to ask for it?" He then said: "Listen to what you said, your... Although my friend will be fine for a short period of time, but over time, his life will be damaged. Anyway, human life is at stake, so I will leave with you and go to Guobei County to see if I can save your friend's life?"
"Ah, thank you so much, Taoist Zhiqiu!" Hearing this, Wang Erlang couldn't help but be overjoyed. After Jiang Chen closed the courtyard door, he quickly led the way, and the two of them headed to Guobei County... ...
