One look at Hou Wanzong's expression, Chen Dengming knew that the other party had misunderstood.
He just explained that the other person's smile was more intriguing, and seemed to be getting darker and darker. He didn't bother to explain at the moment, and asked Luo Bing and the Luo family about their current situation.
Hou Wanzong sighed, shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Chen, you have asked the right person. Let me tell you, don't get excited yet. Junior Sister Luo, the current situation is not good.
She seems to have been involved in some troublesome matter in Yingyue Sect. Now even the ancestor of our sect Jindan has reprimanded her and ordered her to repent in the confession hole of Miaoyin Sect. I think this matter is not a big deal."
"oh?"
Chen Dengming frowned and looked strange, "What does this have to do with the Yingyue Sect? The Yingyue Sect is not in a position to protect itself now and will be reprimanded by many of our sects. How can it affect Daoist Luo of the Qin Sect?"
Hou Wanzong looked hesitant, "This matter is also strange. It seems to involve some secret about a small mortal country. I don't know the details. After all, it is the secret of the sect.
Only Junior Sister Luo and those who participated in this secret plan knew about it. We didn’t dare to inquire too much. We just knew that the sect seemed to be looking for someone. What was his name?
Hiss. I can’t remember. After all, it seems like he was just a small cultivator who killed a disciple of Yingyue Sect and escaped."
When Chen Dengming heard this, he already understood in his heart that Luo Bing was scolded for getting into trouble, and it seemed to be related to him.
It seemed that after he killed Nangong Yun, the Yingyue Sect really sent people to look for him, but naturally he was not found.
But he didn't use a pseudonym at the beginning. After all, no matter how cautious he was, he would never predict the future.
He would not have expected that Nangong Yun would suddenly come to find him. He would have to kill him and leave the comfortable training environment to escape.
Since we can't predict the future, we can't just change our accustomed name and live incognito.
This is like a normal person who just wants to live an honest and responsible life, but how can he predict that he will encounter murder and escape in the future, so before the incident happens, he changes his accustomed name without warning. This is completely illogical.
Therefore, after the incident happened, the people of Yingyue Sect, based on his name, would still find out his relationship with the Luo family and find Luo Bing.
It's just that more than a year has passed since this incident, and Luo Bing was actually reprimanded recently. Could it be that the Miaoyin Sect is also looking for him now?
Chen Dengming tentatively asked for some information.
It was gradually determined that Luo Bing had indeed been reprimanded by the Golden Pill Patriarch of the Miaoyin Sect recently.
And Hou Wanzong, a foundation-building monk of the Miaoyin Sect, only knew the general outline of the matter and had no idea of the inside story at all.
"Senior Brother Chen, now that Junior Sister Luo is repenting in the Confession Cave, it will be difficult for you to contact her. Even the sound transmission jade talisman cannot be transmitted there."
"It's okay, by the way, I want to ask, since Luo Bing is in the Miaoyin Sect, is her family, the Luo family, now within the scope of the Miaoyin Sect?"
"Of course I am here. Senior Brother Chen still wants to visit the Luo Family? Well, Luo Ping is also in the Luo Family at the moment. Senior Brother Chen, the ancestor of the Luo Family, I heard that he has quite a lot of connections."
At the end of Hou Wanzong's words, the smile on his face was a little embarrassing.
He regretted a little. He had done a great job in guaranteeing the ticket. Senior Brother Chen could no longer be described as brave, he was simply a daredevil.
If he really wanted to go to the Luo family and meet Luo Ping, what kind of inconvenience would that be?
If the ancestor of the Luo family gets angry due to blame, he will also get into some trouble.
Chen Dengming said, "Brother Hou, you misunderstood. I just want to ask, where is your Miaoyin Sect now?"
Cao Yan interrupted at this time and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Chen, the Miaoyin Sect, Yingyue Sect, Five Elements Dungeon Sect and many other immortal sects have gathered together to form the second pass, Jiamu Pass, five thousand miles away.
Now that the war is tense, I think if you want to visit there, you should wait until the war situation eases a bit before going. Fairy Luo may have come out by then. "
"Jiamuguan, more than five thousand miles away?"
Chen Dengming was startled, thinking that if it was close, it would be okay to go and have a look.
I didn't expect it to be so far away.
After all, what he had to cross was a war zone. Even if his escape speed was fast, there was a high probability that he would encounter enemy demon cultivators, and even golden elixir demon cultivators.
With the current strength, traveling five thousand miles across the war zone is still too dangerous.
Moreover, it is obvious that both Cao Yan and Hou Wanzong have misunderstood. If he insists on going, I'm afraid it will not be a good idea.
Now that Luo Bing is no longer in the family, he will indeed be gossiped about after traveling all the way.
He immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Cao is right, Jiamutuan is too far away. In fact, I just have friends who are still in the Luo family. Now that I am sure that the Luo family is safe, that's all."
He was indeed reassured that since the Luo family was safe, Xu Wei would be fine, so there was nothing to worry about.
Hou Wanzong breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt ashamed and embarrassed. He secretly wondered whether he had acted too obviously and failed to help the other party.
Seeing Chen Dengming and Cao Yan preparing to leave, he immediately rushed to see them off in person.
Chen Dengming casually glanced at the many casual cultivators lined up below.
The conditions in which these Qi Practitioners serve are much more miserable than those of the Qi Practitioners from the sect. They all look like mortal refugees, which makes Chen Dengming puzzled.
He also came out of the casual cultivator. No matter how miserable the casual cultivator is, he shouldn't look like this. The image problem can be solved by a first-level cleaning technique. Could it be that these casual cultivators have not learned the cleaning technique.
Seeing Chen Dengming looking at the casual cultivators, Hou Wanzong smiled and said, "Huh? Isn't Senior Brother Chen still very interested in these mud-legged people?"
He spoke casually, and his attitude towards Chen Dengming was modest and respectful, but towards a group of casual cultivators, he was obviously proud and dismissive.
Chen Dengming shook his head in his heart, but showed nothing on his face. He was used to this kind of contempt.
Casual cultivators look down on ordinary people, loose cultivators in large places look down on casual cultivators in small areas, monks in a family look down on loose cultivators in large places, monks in sects look down on family monks, and monks in large sects look down on monks in small sects.
After this layer of contempt, ordinary casual cultivators are actually miserable.
Without realizing it, he has become the top of the contempt chain.
But he still maintains his original intention and does not want to despise anyone, including mortals.
But he couldn't change the situation, and just as he was about to look away, he suddenly felt the soul house in his arms tremble slightly, and the small formation spirit was close to his heart, communicating with him heart to heart.
"Fellow Taoist, please pay attention. There is an acquaintance below. He is the formation master. He is the formation master who gave me to you in the first place, Jiang Qiang."
"What?!"
Chen Dengming frowned, and his eyes quickly fell on a familiar face covered in dust in the crowd, and his eyes froze.
The owner of that face seemed not to have expected that the high-ranking Foundation Establishment monk suddenly looked down and was stunned for a moment. Immediately, he and a group of casual cultivators around him turned pale with fright, and immediately lowered their heads like quails, with their hearts beating wildly.
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed sharply, and his expression quickly returned to normal. He paused and looked at Hou Wanzong with a smile, "Brother Hou, I have a spiritual beast that needs people to keep it in captivity. I wonder if I can help the casual cultivators here." Choose someone to take with you as a breeder.”
Hou Wanzong was stunned for a moment, then looked at the equally surprised Cao Yan, and then smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen, what you are saying is just a casual cultivator serving in the army. It is very simple for you to take him away.
Now this group of casual cultivators has been handed over to your longevity sect. Senior Brother Cao is in charge of this matter. You can just ask Senior Brother Cao directly. I definitely agree, little brother. "
Cao Yan frowned slightly, thinking that Chen Dengming had just listened to his advice and given him face. Moreover, this junior fellow apprentice's courage and hobbies in certain aspects were also quite to his liking.
He brought the other party here specially, and if he is still not accommodating on this trivial matter, then he deliberately sold the other party's favor this time, which meant that he did not sell it, he said immediately in thought.
"Since it is Junior Brother Chen who has made such a request, I, Cao, will naturally be accommodating, but this matter is a matter of course."
Cao Yan coughed dryly, gave Chen Dengming a look, and said with a smile, "These casual cultivators have been handed over, and they are all recorded. Anyone who dares to run away without enough credit will be held accountable and convicted, and the end will not be good. .
Therefore, Brother Chen, if you want to pick one person to take away, you have to contribute a share of the credit for that person. "
Chen Dengming was about to ask how much credit he deserved.
Cao Yan smiled and said, "Let's do this. Junior Brother Chen, you just pick the person directly. This meager credit will go to me, Senior Brother."
"How embarrassing." Chen Dengming was about to refuse.
When Hou Wanzong heard the elegant meaning of Xiange, he was surprised that Cao Yan actually gave Chen Dengming face like this, but he immediately grabbed Chen Dengming and said with a smile.
"Hey, Senior Brother Chen, since Senior Brother Cao wants to treat you, please accept it calmly. This casual cultivator doesn't have much merit to accumulate, and you must not let Brother Cao down."
"Well, thank you very much, Senior Brother Cao. One day, Senior Brother will come to Changchun Sect, and Junior Brother will definitely hold a banquet in his honor."
Chen Dengming stopped being polite and humble.
He has also seen that Cao Yan is using this to pay the favor to the end. If he insists on refusing, he will make the other party unhappy.
This is the way to behave in the world. Sometimes, it is not always good to be polite.
…
Soon, from the group of casual cultivators below, Jiang Qiang was summoned out by the Qi Practitioner who received the order.
"Sir, may I ask what the senior foundation builder wants to do with me, Xiao Jiang?"
Jiang Qiang was so nervous and worried that his palms were sweating. He endured the pain and smiled dryly. He took out a low-grade spiritual crystal that he had saved for a long time from his sleeve and stuffed it into it, and said flatteringly with a smile.
This piece of spiritual crystal is his last remaining savings and can be used to save his life at critical moments.
Ever since Fengwufang was attacked and he and Zhu Xun were separated, he had encountered various risks along the way. Many of them had to be overcome by losing money to eliminate disasters and being clever and cautious. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach this point now. .
Giving and gaining is the core and most important essence of his strong-form algorithm.
Money is important, but money only comes with life. Compared with personal life, no matter how reluctant you are to part with any money, you must throw it away at critical moments to save your life.
But unexpectedly, this time his spiritual crystal was pushed out, and the Qi Practitioner of Miaoyin Sect immediately pushed it back.
Jiang Qiang's heart skipped a beat when he saw that the normally arrogant prison monk rarely showed a smile this time. There was even a hint of envy, jealousy and flattery in the smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, no need. You are lucky this time. The foundation-building senior of Changchun Changshou Sect has taken a fancy to you. If you become successful in the future, you will have to take care of you."
"Ah?" Jiang Qiang was a little stunned, his mind was a little dizzy, and his anxious heart couldn't help but become more nervous and uneasy.
Why did the foundation-building monk fall in love with him?
He, Jiang Qiang, has no other special skills except for his meager skills in refining formation disks. Is there anything that a foundation-building monk should value?
Even his little ability to refine array disks was unlikely to attract the attention of the foundation-building monk, and he didn't show it either.
With a flustered mood, Jiang Qiang was brought to Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming saw through Jiang Qiang's nervousness at a glance and snickered in his heart. He was quite happy to meet his brother again, but he did not explain anything to him. He just said, "I will follow him from now on and become a clouded leopard breeder." That was it. The purpose was explained.
After a cup of tea.
Chen Dengming and Cao Yan and others parted ways.
With Jiang Qiang, who was silent and extremely worried, he returned to the house where he rested.
"Roar--"
The black clouded leopard jumped down from the roof lightly, exuding an astonishing and menacing evil spirit that made Jiang Qiang's face turn pale in shock.
No, he, Xiao Jiang, is just a monk at the fifth level of qi training, and he has to take care of this black clouded leopard that looks like he can hold down Brother Chen and beat him up?
"Heizi, stay guard outside the house."
Chen Denming gave a low drink and called Jiang Qiang into the house.
"this sound"
Jiang Qiang inexplicably felt that Chen Dengming's voice was quite familiar. He thought it was an illusion and followed him into the house respectfully.
Chen Dengming waved his hand and closed the door with a bang.
He just made the move to close the door, and with a pop, Jiang Qiang knelt down and cried with gratitude.
"Senior, thank you very much for your willingness to pick this junior up from the pile of random cultivators.
Junior Jiang has nothing to repay. From now on, he will definitely take good care of the Black Panther outside for seniors. Although junior has no experience in cultivating spiritual pets, junior has a very strong learning talent and is hard-working and hard-working."
"Hadron?"
Chen Dengming was a little stunned and called Jiang Qiang.
"Huh?" Jiang Qiang responded, subconsciously preparing to continue to do misfortune to please him, but suddenly he was stunned and looked up at Chen Dengming as if he had seen a ghost.
He immediately lowered his head, his heart beating wildly.
"Senior, why did you just call me by my nickname?"
He has gradually recognized this familiar voice, and even guessed something from this familiar call.
But the happiness came so quickly and suddenly that he couldn't believe it.
I was afraid that I had been too nervous recently and had hallucinations, or that I had suffered some brilliant illusion, so I could only continue to kneel and wait for further confirmation.
At this time, Chen Dengming's laughter came, "Qiangzi, it's okay. You still haven't changed your cleverness. I really worry about you for nothing."
Jiang Qiang's whole body was agitated, his heart felt like it was on fire, his eye circles were red, and he was so choked that he almost cried. He swallowed hard, suppressed the call that came to his throat, and said nervously.
"Senior, did you cast any illusion on me?
How do I feel that you are like an old friend of mine? Hehe, don’t make this joke, senior, junior, you’re afraid.”
The smile on Chen Dengming's lips gradually faded away. Thinking of Zhu Xun's death and his brother's desolation when he met Jiang Qiang before, he couldn't laugh anymore.
His life was better, but it was hard to imagine what had happened to the two brothers in the past.
Behind Jiang Qiang's seemingly funny actions and words, there is clearly a forcibly suppressed fear and confusion.
They were all in front of him, but they were still kneeling and didn't dare to recognize each other, just because they were afraid that their heads would fall to the ground as soon as they stood up.
This kind of cautiousness is simply worse than him.
"Qiangzi, get up. It's really me, you, Brother Chen. Besides me, who else in this great world of immortality would call you Qiangzi like that?"
Chen Dengming walked over personally, helped Jiang Qiang up, and then dispersed the spiritual energy on his face. The distance between his eyes changed and the facial contour also changed subtly.
Jiang Qiang was dumbfounded, his heart hanging in the air, afraid that if he couldn't say a word well, it would be like a firecracker being lit by sparks and exploding with a "bang".
"Still not convinced? Do you remember that you used strong-form algorithms to help me sell things?
When we were at Jinxiufang. Also, when we were at the gathering place, you had an enemy named Qian Yuan. He died miserably. "
Mentioning Qian Yuan, Jiang Qiang suddenly laughed, grinning widely, laughing happily, but also like a completely relaxed smile, "Yes, he died miserably. When he died, his own His hands were stuffed into his mouth, and he only had one hand, hahaha."
His voice choked up when he laughed at the end, "I sometimes dream about the man named Qian several times. I dream that he is laughing at me, and he laughs at me and makes me die worse than him.
My legs were cut off and I was left crawling on the ground. When I died, my hands were cut off and stuffed in my mouth.”
Chen Dengming was silent for a moment, sighed, patted Jiang Qiang on the shoulder, and spoke slowly in a calm but convincing tone.
"Qiangzi, you are safe.
At least you are safe in the realm of longevity sect. In the future, you can open a small formation shop in Fangshi and live peacefully, or you can go back and sell Gu to me. "
Jiang Qiang also came back to his senses at this moment, his eyes shining with admiration and surprise. This is probably the most glorious moment in the year, "Brother Chen, you... have you become a foundation builder? And you have also joined the Changchun sect? No. , longevity sect?”
"Haha, I haven't joined the longevity sect yet, just the Changchun sect. However, in the future, it should be soon."
The two met again, and it was during this troubled time, in a huge sea of people, that there were so many topics to talk about.
For Jiang Qiang, he was grateful to Chen Dengming. He was so grateful that he fell to the ground and was grateful. No one had ever given him such respect and loyalty. For Chen Dengming, he considered him a master, a brother, a benefactor, and even his reborn parents. Too much.
For Chen Dengming, it actually doesn't matter how strong Jiang Qiang is, what use it can be to him, and whether it can be used to create benefits.
The most important thing is that this is the person he worked hard with at the bottom after entering the world of immortality. It is enough to treat him sincerely and be loyal to him.
Seeing the other person, he seemed to see his own heart, the bottom line and principles that pointed directly to his own heart, making him understand that he had not lost himself in this cruel and cold world of immortality.
He has always firmly believed that cultivating immortals does not mean being indifferent to cultivation and pursuing all self-interests, but rather having the aura of an immortal in your heart, the heroic spirit of a man who can draw a sword and the world is vast, and the unrestrained freedom of wielding a sword all over the world.
If you are indifferent, your original intention is lost, and everything is cold and mercenary, then it cannot actually be called carefree and unrestrained.
Even if he drinks a pot of wine and sends away many old friends one by one on his way to immortality, at least it will be better than indifference or even cruel sacrifice. At least he will have a clear conscience and have some beautiful memories to cherish his memory.
The two chatted for a long time, until Zhu Xun, the meat seller, was called out. Jiang Qiang fell into silence for a moment, and then cried in disbelief.
Chen Dengming shook his head, felt relieved, and walked out of the room.
Looking at the setting sun burning the horizon quietly like a bonfire in the distance, a smile couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
This trip was a complete success, knowing that the Luo family was fine and also finding two old friends, Zhu Xun and Jiang Qiang.
Compared to this, the rewards from the sect's rescue mission are just secondary things.
This is why our way is clearly present, and the destiny of immortality depends on it. If you seek spiritual guidance from immortals and heroes, just ask your true heart to take care of everything.
