I’m Not An Immortal

Chapter 40: The humble

Views:

As early as when this person walked in, he began to guess his identity. The action he took just now was not actually to offend Elder Mo of Wangjiang Tower, but just to test the cultivation level of these people from Yashan.

As soon as this man made a move, Tao Zhang guessed his identity.

Seeing Jianchou and the little fat boy coming in together, he touched his chin and paced two steps.

Qu Zhengfeng did not answer Jianchou's words, but waved his hand: "Master Sister, please take a seat."

"… "

At that moment, Jianchou was really confused.

The direction Qu Zhengfeng pointed was the chair at the top left. There was also another chair on the right opposite to the chair on the left, which should represent the status of host and guest.

this…

How can I get up there by myself

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she looked up, Qu Zhengfeng's eyes were indifferent, with an indescribable feeling.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she was the eldest senior sister of Yashan.

All the words he wanted to say were swallowed up. Jianchou hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slightly and walked up slowly.

Elder Mo from Wangjiang Tower had also walked in and was near them. When he saw this scene, he was a little surprised.

Senior sister

"This must be Senior Jianchou, the man with extraordinary talent that people in the Central Region have been talking about recently, right? There are so many geniuses in the Central Region recently, and it can be said that heroes emerge from the young. Mo Yuanxing is here to pay his respects."

"Elder Mo, you're welcome."

The news that she established her foundation on the 13th and that it was a celestial plate had really spread out

Seeing Mo Yuanxing's strange look, Jianchou suddenly felt uncomfortable and it was quite strange.

As the elder of Wangjiang Tower, Mo Yuanxing was in charge of handling this matter and was half the master, so he waved his hand and said, "Please take a seat."

Jianchou returned the greeting and finally sat down.

The rest of the people also sat down. Qu Zhengfeng sat in the first seat to the right of Jianchou, and Jiang He sat down in the seat below Qu Zhengfeng very consciously.

Originally, the other two deacons and elders of Wangjiang Tower should have sat opposite them.

Unexpectedly, Tao Zhang took a step forward, kicked over a chair, pulled the only remaining chair, stuffed it directly under his butt, and sat down opposite Qu Zhengfeng.

"you!"

The other two were so angry that they were fuming, but because of the presence of the three men from Yashan, they couldn't do anything.

A sneer flashed across Tao Zhang's face, and he looked at Qu Zhengfeng with interest, and then he spoke again.

"I heard that you have been lingering at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for a long time. Let me calculate..." Tao Zhang pretended to count with his fingers, "Tsk, it's already been 130 years, this doesn't seem right."

As for Qu Zhengfeng's cultivation, Jianchou only knew a little about it during the battle between Qu Zhengfeng and Chen Jiu on the sword-drawing platform that day.

Now when he heard Tao Zhang speaking, he couldn't help but frown.

All we know is that Qu Zhengfeng has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, but we don’t know how long he has stayed there.

Because it was Qu Zhengfeng's own business, Jianchou didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

only…

Qu Zhengfeng himself also sat there motionless, with no intention of speaking at all.

The elder from Wangjiang Tower looked around and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Tao Zhang was indeed a fearless desperado who dared to say anything.

snort…

However, Yashan does have a bad temper when it comes to doing things!

After three days of failing to find the truth, they killed Tao Zhang and reported back to the emperor.

If we can find the disciple of Wangjiang Tower by then, the problem will be solved; if we can't find him, killing Tao Zhang will be a way to vent our anger.

Mo Yuanxing guessed that Yashan was probably standing on the side of Wangjiang Tower.

Who made Tao Zhang so arrogant

Thinking of this, Mo Yuanxing became even more leisurely. He just sat beside and watched the show coldly, watching Tao Zhang jump around and how he offended Yashan.

Among the crowd, Jiang He was the first one who couldn't help himself.

He chewed his fingers and rolled his eyes: "You are a new Dan-forming cultivator, what right do you have to talk to Second Senior Brother? You can't even beat me!"

"… "

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into silence.

Tao Zhang's face finally darkened completely.

Jiang He is fat and short, and looks like a child. He was so arrogant when he rolled his eyes and said, "Even you can't beat me."

That feeling makes people want to shout "so enjoyable and satisfying"!

Even Jianchou, who was sitting on top, had the urge to hug the little fat boy and give him a kiss!

Well said!

She glanced at Qu Zhengfeng and found that he was also smiling. She couldn't help but cough and said, "Although I have just started practicing, I know that practice depends on chance and talent. Just like what Daoist Tao Zhang said just now, when you and I first met, I was just able to practice Qi."

Who doesn’t know that Jianchou is one of the two most popular talents in the Central Region recently

The legend about her and Kunwu Xie Buchen has long been spread throughout the Central Region. One built her foundation in ten days, and became the number one person below the Golden Core after thirteen days; the other built her foundation in thirteen days, and although she did not become the number one person below the Golden Core, she managed to cultivate a rare Tianpan in the world.

Although some people say that Kunwu Xie Buchen also has a celestial plate, it has not been confirmed by Kunwu after all, and this rumor is not as widely spread as "Yashan Jianchou has a celestial plate", so people are just curious but dare not be sure.

It can be seen that the fate of the worried sky is almost a foregone conclusion.

What Jianchou said now is similar to what the fat guy Jiang He said, "Even you can't beat me."

even…

Even though he is only in the middle stage of foundation building, with the Tianpan on him, Jianchou will be more dazzling than the little fat man.

Poor Tao Zhang, he just made a sarcastic remark to his second senior brother Qu Zhengfeng at Yashan, but he was met with such cruel "bad words" from Jianchou and Jiang He. It really makes people feel sympathy!

The three elders from Wangjiang Tower sat down and stood down. Somehow, they let out a breath of anger and felt much better.

Tao Zhang slowly sat up straight on the spot.

He looked at Jianchou, and what came to his mind was the scene when Jianchou had resisted Lan Yuan's attack and had no strength left, but still held on to the Nine-Section Bamboo.

"Senior Jianchou is right. I am the one who is being arrogant. Since there are only three days left, I will not joke with my life. After all, in front of me is the towering Yashan."

It felt like we were finally getting to talk.

After the verbal battle, people in Wangjiang Tower finally calmed down and Mo Yuanxing bowed to Jianchou.

"I heard that Yashan already knows the cause of the incident. We trapped this man and even went against the Five Yi Sect, just for the safety of my two disciples in Wangjiang Tower. The reef has now collapsed, and the people in Wangjiang Tower are searching outside, but they found nothing. We want to know how to get into the door under the reef, but Tao Zhang doesn't know anything. It's obvious that he wants to put the two disciples to death!"

As Mo Yuanxing spoke, he became excited.

"Since Elder Fudao has sent three of you here, please ask the three of you to ask this person for an explanation on my behalf at Wangjiang Tower!"

Qu Zhengfeng sat there with his eyelids drooping. He said a few words at the beginning, which shocked everyone. After that, he never looked up to speak again and just kept his mouth tightly shut.

Jianchou looked at him calmly, and seeing that he still didn't move, he understood a little bit.

This is really a case of forcing the issue...

Why do I feel that this "junior brother" Qu is a little unhappy with me

This thought only flashed through his mind, but Jianshou didn't show it on his face. He spoke as usual, "I heard that there were three disciples who went down the reef, and one of them came back alive. I wonder where this person is?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhang sneered.

"Of course they hid it. Although I, Tao Zhang, have committed many evil deeds, I am now a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage. There is no need to kill those two minions. Who do they think they are?"

Although the words are contemptuous, they seem to make sense.

But no one knew what happened below, so Jianchou didn't dare to conclude that this person was innocent. She just turned her head and looked at Mo Yuanxing.

Mo Yuanxing was already furious: "Nonsense! When you came out, you were clearly covered in blood, and now the blood has not disappeared, how dare you quibble? This blood is not someone else's, how could it be your own?!"

This sentence attracted everyone to look at the bloodstains on Tao Zhang's green robe.

Yes, there is.

The old bloodstains were already a dark brown, but there were still traces of fresh blood on them.

Tao Zhang also looked down at his blood-stained robe, and immediately smiled with his eyes narrowed, with an unspeakable mockery in one of his eyes.

"Yes, Wangjiang Tower has many people and is strong, and they use their power to bully others. The blood all over my body is really my own."

"you!"

Mo Yuanxing was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Jianchou guessed that the blood on Tao Zhang's body, at least the fresh one was his own, for no other reason but because he acted too eccentrically, probably because he had a conflict with Mo Yuanxing.

This place happened to be the territory of Wangjiang Tower, so it was inevitable that Tao Zhang would suffer some hardships and be wronged.

Trivial matters like these are definitely not the focus of Yashan's attention.

Jianchou thought for a moment and asked directly the key question: "Let's put aside the past grudges. Fellow Daoist Tao Zhang should know that my junior brother Qu Zhengfeng from Yashan may take action if he disagrees with me. So, Jianchou has a few questions. Fellow Daoist Tao Zhang, please think about it and answer them well."

Raising his eyebrows, Tao Zhang looked at Jianchou, sizing her up and down.

Yashan Yashan…

Did the cultivator from Yashan dare to stand in front of him with the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building and ask this

Turning his head to see Qu Zhengfeng casually stroking the scabbard of the Hai Guang Sword with his fingers, Tao Zhang suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

I have to admit that these two people came here in unison, and I have to admit it.

If he wanted to leave here, he had no choice but to help these three disciples from Yashan, where the law enforcement elder was.

Tao Zhang was quite tactful and said directly, "I am an old acquaintance of Senior Jianchou. Yashan is not as mean as Wangjianglou. I trust him more and will tell him everything I know."

The elder of Wangjiang Tower standing nearby felt as if he was slapped hard on the face, it was so painful that he felt dizzy!

He wanted to stand up and scold Tao Zhang, but when he saw the three Yashan disciples sitting next to him, he immediately held back.

Stand up and deny Tao Zhang’s words

What is Yashan then

Mo Yuanxing's anger was quickly suppressed by himself, but he felt aggrieved and his face turned red.

Tao Zhang was delighted by what he saw and finally a smile appeared on his face.

When he saw Chou again, he felt that this "disciple of Yashan" was so cute and beautiful no matter how he looked at her.

Jianchou knew that the two men were stabbing each other, but he did not join in their quarrel. After thinking for a while, he asked, "The most important thing now is to find a way to open the door under the reef. The life tablets of the two Wangjiang Tower disciples are still intact, which proves that they should still be alive, so saving them is the priority. Fellow Daoist Tao Zhang, do you know how to get down?"

"The reef has already collapsed, what's the point of talking about a door?" Tao Zhang sneered, "I can't do it anyway."

"oh?"

Jianchou was quick-witted. He looked at Tao Zhang thoughtfully and smiled slightly.

"I only ask about the method to open the door. If Daoist Fellow Tao Zhang can get in, he will definitely know. So, Daoist Fellow just needs to tell the truth... Otherwise, we can only think that Daoist Fellow Tao Zhang only wants the two Wangjiang Tower disciples trapped under the reef to die, so that some things that should not be known to others can be buried under the sea."

this…

This is really slanderous!

The fat boy Jiang He below was staring at Jianchou in amazement!

At that moment, he admired this senior sister to the extreme!

Qu Zhengfeng couldn't help but nodded.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Jianchou. Although his cultivation was low now, he quickly calmed down after being forced to the top by him. He understood what he meant, and although his words did not have the demeanor of a great man, there was nothing wrong with them.

Especially this one...

This is the essence of Master’s shamelessness…

Perhaps, she is really qualified to become the eldest senior sister of Yashan.

Only Tao Zhang, at this moment, recalled the Jianchou when they first met, and then looked at the Jianchou sitting high up at the table, smiling at him, and it really felt like a dream...

He forgot. Ever since Jianchou put Nie Xiaowan behind him, stood in front of him, and started to activate the Nine-Section Bamboo again, he has become a perfectly qualified disciple of Yashan.

Be willing to take risks.

Yashan…

Tao Zhang was silent for a long time. After looking at Mo Yuanxing who was staring at him with eyes wide open, as if he was about to eat him up, he finally laughed out loud: "It seems that this is the only way for me to save my life now. It's a pity that the method to open it is a secret of my Wuyi Sect. The three minions in Wangjiang Tower were only able to get in because of me. I can take them in, but I don't have to be responsible for taking them out."

"so?"

Jianchou knew that since he had compromised, there must be something behind it.

As expected, Tao Zhang's smile became strange: "I can open the door under the reef for you, but I can't tell you, it's that simple."

"You! You're going too far!"

Mo Yuanxing really hated Tao Zhang, as those two disciples were his favorites.

I went treasure hunting under the reef, thinking I would get something, but I unexpectedly met Tao Zhang down there. Tao Zhang was in front, opening a door, but because of the special environment he didn't notice someone following him and went in together.

When they came out, something big happened. Only one person was left after they returned safely, which really made Mo Yuanxing angry.

If it wasn't Tao Zhang who committed the murder, who else could it be

Now he still has this uncooperative attitude. If the three people from Yashan were not here, he would have chopped him to pieces with a knife!

"Elder Mo, please be patient."

Seeing that Chou already had an idea, she glanced at Qu Zhengfeng.

Qu Zhengfeng nodded imperceptibly.

So, Jianchou turned around, stood up, and said to Tao Zhang: "Since Daoist Tao Zhang is willing to cooperate, it couldn't be better. Why don't we go to the West Sea reef now to check out the situation and see if Daoist Tao Zhang can be of any use."

Tao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then slowly laughed.

Then, he burst into laughter.

"You have guts! But it's just a stupid idea! Since Senior Jianchou has said so, Tao Zhang dare not disobey. I will accompany you on this journey!"

Obviously, Tao Zhang concluded that there was no place for him to use his talents there.

Jianchou frowned and looked back at Qu Zhengfeng, seeing that he was also in deep thought.

Qu Zhengfeng whispered, "You won't know until you go and see it."

So, the group finally decided to set out directly from this courtyard.

Tao Zhang didn't look down on himself at all and walked straight to Jianchou.

Jianchou turned around and looked at him.

Tao Zhang said calmly: "It's safer to walk beside you, otherwise I'm afraid I'll die on the road before I reach the West Sea."

This was a satire on Wangjiang Tower's behavior, and Jianchou finally did not respond.

Mo Yuanxing and the other three people at the back were so angry that they were panicking, but they still endured it and hoped that Tao Zhang would open the door. After all, the two disciples were more important.

"There is a teleportation array to Dengtian Island ahead, please follow me."

Mo Yuanxing led the way.

After leaving the water pavilion, we still left the lake.

When passing by the blooming lotus flowers by the lake, Jianchou slowed down his pace.

When she came, she had seen mayflies on the lotus leaves. Now there was a layer of white "corpses" floating on the water. She reached out and gently picked up a mayfly that was so tiny that it was almost invisible from the lotus leaf.

It didn't move at all, its body was plump, but it was already dead.

Jiang He came over curiously, took a look, and frowned: "They are all dead, why are you holding them, Senior Sister?"

"nothing… "

I just think this situation is a bit strange.

If the body is plump, it is not a mayfly that died last night, but one that died shortly after being born this morning.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

There were still things to do, so Jianchou slowly put the mayfly back to its original place and followed him out.

No one paid any attention to this episode, and everyone quickly stepped into a teleportation array carved on the other side of the lake. In a flash of light, they were already at the Dengtian Island in the West Sea.

"The reef is not far to the west of Dengtian Island. We can just go there."

It was Mo Yuanxing who introduced the situation.

He was the first to walk out of the teleportation array, and Jianchou also walked out. He looked up and saw that there were quite a few people on Dengtian Island at this time. When they saw the teleportation array light up, many of them turned around to look.

Li Sui was talking to his fellow disciples when he suddenly saw everyone looking in that direction, and he couldn't help but look over there as well.

At that moment, he was stunned.

Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng stood together, led by Mo Yuanxing, looking towards the west. In her hand, she held an inside and outside mirror that was emitting a faint golden glow. Her eyes were calm, and one could vaguely see the extraordinary calmness and composure she had when she stood beside Nie Xiaowan that day.

If Li Sui remembered correctly, the man in black robe beside her was none other than Qu Zhengfeng, the number one person in the Fourth Heaven Monument and Yashan's former senior brother.

Standing there, Li Sui recalled the question he had asked before...

Taoist companion

He couldn't help laughing.

Li Sui recalled the thoughts he and Zhou Kuang had once had on Dengtian Island.

"Perhaps soon, her name will be engraved together with the many stories of the past, and become a legend circulated among the monks of the Nineteen Continents..."

Now, watching from a distance, he felt that this premonition was about to come true.

The fishy and salty sea breeze still seems to smell the same as yesterday.

Jianchou was a little dazed. She listened to Mo Yuanxing's voice, nodded, and glanced around. When she looked not far to her right, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

This smile is a rare and sincere one.

She walked towards that direction.

Qu Zhengfeng and Jiang He were both surprised and looked at her.

"See Senior Sister Chou?"

"I met an old friend and went to say hello." Jianchou answered calmly and was already a few steps away from Li Sui. "Brother Li, how are you?"
