Du Changsheng was actually a little surprised that this person actually knew Mr. Ji, or more likely he had mistaken him for some martial arts master. After all, although the surname Ji was rare, it was not uncommon.
No matter what, there was no extra expression on Du Changsheng's face. He just smiled and nodded slightly.
"This Heavenly Master lives in a secluded alley in Chunhui Mansion. You are trespassing. Considering that you are ignorant and a mere mortal, please leave on your own."
Du Changsheng said a nice word, but he moved his hands along the north, secretly holding a talisman in his sleeve. The spiritual energy in his body is much richer than before, and his body is also much stronger, but his magic power is still too poor.
After all, it is not so easy to forge a furnace of artistic conception and build a golden bridge between heaven and earth within the body. Even though Du Changsheng had obtained the true method from Mr. Ji that year, he was not completely sure that he could succeed before his death.
So let alone one Du Changsheng, even ten Du Changshengs would probably not be able to defeat a martial arts master who is good at killing, especially someone whose lightness skills are so high that he can appear in front of you silently.
With Du Changsheng's current abilities, although he has some magical powers, they are still barely enough to be used as a means of killing and fighting. Fortunately, he is good at talismans, which he uses to assist. In addition, the masters of the martial arts world generally have little knowledge of mysterious techniques, so he still has a great chance of winning if a real fight breaks out.
Du Changsheng is well aware of the fact that one should underestimate the opponent strategically and take the opponent seriously tactically.
However, the warrior in front of him did not retreat immediately after being surprised, but looked at him with strange eyes. That look actually made Du Changsheng, who had seen a lot of the world, feel a little nervous.
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Du Changsheng up and down. Judging from the aura around him, his blood and qi were still vigorous, and he was not an ordinary old man. His spiritual energy was also abundant, but his magic power was shallow and his divine light was dim, so his Taoism must not be very high.
"How can such a person be Mr. Ji's apprentice? Hu Yun is more reliable than him, at least he is not as decadent."
Du Changsheng suppressed his uneasiness, walked slowly to the small table, sat down on the cushion, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then squinted at Bai Qi.
"Why, you're not leaving? That's right, you came here without making any noise, so you must have a purpose. Judging from the timing of your arrival, and the lie that you are the God of Chunmu River, it seems that you have something to do with Li Jinlai. Tell me about it?"
Try to avoid disputes if possible. This is Du Changsheng's philosophy of self-preservation. Since the person who came here is not leaving, then find out what the purpose is, whether it is money or other matters, struggle is only the last resort.
"Haha, I do think so, but the more I look at you, the more I think you can't be Mr. Ji's apprentice."
Bai Qi smiled and spoke calmly. Instead of retreating, he took a step into the house. However, he did not jump or walk slowly. Instead, he moved slowly into the room as if he was not affected by gravity, and landed silently.
Then Bai Qi stretched out his hand, and Du Changsheng felt his left hand go numb inside his sleeve, and the talisman in his hand flew out by itself and fell into Bai Qi's hand.
"The innate master's ability to take things from the air? No! The ability to control things!"
"Gurgle..."
Du Changsheng swallowed a mouthful of tea. His body had become much stiffer. He stared at the teacup and did not dare to look at Bai Qi.
"The talisman looks exquisitely drawn, but it's a pity that it's not very powerful, and your Taoism is so shallow..."
Having said that, Bai Qi suddenly changed the subject and spoke with a smile.
"The Immortal Master Ji Yuan? You're lucky to have come up with this title. Mr. Ji wouldn't be so high-profile. But since you can name him, I guess you must have met him before."
"You, who are you?"
Du Changsheng's face could no longer maintain the calmness and composure just now, and he seemed a little flustered. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the person in front of him was not a martial artist, but a person with profound Taoism skills, he just couldn't see it.
"Who am I? I already said it when I came here. I am the True God of Chunmu River."
Du Changsheng shuddered slightly, quickly put down the teacup, stood up from the cushion, and bowed respectfully.
"I am Du Changsheng, and I am here to greet Lord Jiangshen!"
Regardless of whether he is the real Jiang God or not, at least to Du Changsheng his abilities are unfathomable, and he will never dare to be arrogant again.
At this time, the boy who sent Li Jinlai out just came back and saw Du Changsheng respectfully greeting a stranger who had come in.
"Master... what are you doing?"
"Disciple, this is the River God of Chunmu River, why don't you quickly pay your respects to Lord River God!"
Du Changsheng scolded him like this, and the boy quickly bowed.
"Wang Xiao pays respect to Lord Jiangshen!"
Bai Qi obviously didn't care whether the two men greeted each other or not. He just glanced at the boy and then waved his hand, and a layer of mist covered the whole yard.
Then a feeling of weightlessness arose in Du Changsheng and Wang Xiao. They twisted their bodies a few times and almost fell. After they stabilized themselves, they realized that they had risen off the ground.
Du Changsheng's face changed slightly and he was panicked inside, but at least he maintained superficial composure. The boy Wang Xiao, on the other hand, was panicked both inside and out.
“Master!”
"Be patient!"
Du Changsheng comforted his disciple, which was also a way of comforting himself. Then he carefully tried to keep his body steady, and said to Bai Qi, who was flying up in the mist after waving his sleeves.
"I hope Lord Jiang Shen will forgive me. I, Du Changsheng, have not done anything against the will of heaven and earth. I gave Li Jinlai the talisman, but it will never harm the aquatic creatures in the river. Lord Jiang Shen, please understand! By the way, Lord Jiang Shen, do you know Mr. Ji? I know Mr. Ji, and the fundamental methods I learned were taught by him!"
A thin mist was like a hazy wind, carrying the three of them up into the air in an instant, flying hundreds of feet high in the sky. Even though they couldn't see clearly because of the mist, it made Du Changsheng and Wang Xiao even more terrified. If they fell down, they would be smashed to pieces.
"Don't be afraid, I'm taking you to see your master."
Bai Qi still had the leisure to make a joke, which made Du Changsheng stunned for a moment.
"My Master?"
Wang Xiao also asked in a daze: "Master?"
Then Du Changsheng reacted immediately, and considering Bai Qi's previous reaction, an answer was obvious.
'Mr. Ji is here?'
The mist-carrying wind flew for a distance over the city of Chunhui Prefecture, and slowly flew to the Chunmu River at a moderate speed. It then flew obliquely into the winding river section along the mountain far away from the city of Chunhui Prefecture, and then began to slowly fall.
During the descent, the fog gradually dissipated, making the visibility of Du Changsheng and Wang Xiao in front, behind, left, and right, especially under their feet, quickly clear, especially since they were originally flying steadily at high altitude, but suddenly began to fall rapidly.
“Ah…” “Master!”
The human instinctive fear of heights caused both of them to scream out in fear.
With two "bangs", the two people landed on a small pleasure boat on the river, one in front and one behind.
Ji Yuan was sitting at the bow of the boat. The two people who fell on the boat were lying on the boat, holding on to the side of the boat tightly. Although they were face down, it was not difficult for Ji Yuan to guess that the two people might still have their eyes tightly closed.
"What is this, Bai Jiangshen?"
Ji Yuan asked Bai Qi with a bit of doubt. The latter had just floated down and stood on the bow of the boat.
Bai Qi first bowed to Ji Yuan, then pointed at Du Changsheng and smiled.
"Sir, this person is the one who gave Li Jinlai the talisman, but he didn't use the talisman to do anything bad. But that's not the point. The point is that he claims to be your disciple."
"Um?"
Ji Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
"My disciple?"
If everything were counted, the only one who could be considered a complete disciple of Ji Yuan was Lu Shanjun. The old turtle could barely be considered a half-registered disciple, the white deer girl Bai Ruo was even more barely than the old turtle, and Hu Yun could not be considered at all. On the other hand, those from Yunshan Temple could be considered to have inherited the Taoist tradition, but it was definitely not the person in front of him.
"Hey, this guy looks familiar to me..."
Ji Yuan looked at Du Changsheng carefully again, and the aura of his Dharma Eye appeared, and he did look familiar.
Du Changsheng originally felt that he was going to be thrown to death, but when he heard Ji Yuan's words, his heart suddenly shook and he raised his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.
At the bow of the boat, in front of Bai Qi, there was a small table with cakes and tea on it. Opposite the table, at the tip of the bow, a man in a long white robe and a jade hairpin in his bun was looking at him calmly. His pair of pale eyes were like the bright moon reflected in an ancient well.
Du Changsheng turned around, knelt down, and bowed his head like an acrobat.
“Sir! Mr. Ji! Master~~~~!”
“Boom boom boom…”
The head hit the board, making a series of loud noises.
Oh my god, what are you doing!
Even Ji Yuan was shocked by Du Changsheng's shameless behavior, and he directly gave an order to Du Changsheng.
"Certainly!"
In an instant, Du Changsheng's face, which was full of surprise and wrinkled because of his smile, froze in place. After all, Du Changsheng also had spiritual energy and magical powers. It was only at this moment that Ji Yuan could really see who this person was.
"Is this the Du Tianshi appointed by Emperor Yuande?"
Hu Yun jumped over from the bow and looked at Du Changsheng with amazement, whose face was wrinkled but not moving at all. He stretched out his paws and pressed Du Changsheng's face with the pads of his paws, and found that it did not look like human flesh at all. Instead, it felt like a pile of old cowhide leather and was hard.
"Mr. Ji, how did you do it? Why can't he move?"
Bai Qi standing next to him was equally astonished. Like Hu Yun, it was the first time he had seen the immobilization technique.
