When I returned to Qiuyang County. It's already afternoon.
Chongxuan Laifu was walking anxiously outside the clan. He saw Jiang Wang from a distance and hurriedly came to greet him.
"Mr. Jiang, you are back! I thought you were practicing in the morning and didn't dare to disturb you. I didn't see anyone at noon. I was almost dying of anxiety. I thought I was ignorant and made you angry!"
His anxious mood was not entirely exaggerated.
He was indeed afraid that he would touch some untouchable string in Jiang Wang's heart. I am afraid that my good intentions may offend noble people.
"Go out for a walk by yourself." Jiang Wang didn't say anything else, and waved his hand: "Take me to your ancestral temple, and I will burn incense for you, Mr. Sheng."
Chongxuan Laifu knew it well, or he didn't know it before, but after being taught a lesson by Chongxuanxin, he already knew Jiang Wang's weight, and this weight was getting heavier and heavier.
"Master, please come here. The incense sticks have been prepared and the incense burner has been cleaned for you." He led the way respectfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Wang came to Qiuyang County in the name of offering sacrifices to his ancestral temple on behalf of Jiang Wang. Of course, he would not be unprepared for the visit of Chongxuan.
The entire Chongxuan family is like a small town.
Although there is no tall and solid city wall, the glory of living with the country and the heritage of a thousand-year-old family are already a high wall in itself.
Chongxuan Laifu is a blessing given to a son named Chongxuan, who has a higher status than ordinary slaves. Moreover, servants are more important than masters. Chongxuanxin is now doing well overseas, and Chongxuansheng, who relies on him, is in great glory. With Chongxuanlaifu in the clan, his waist has become much straighter.
Following Chongxuan Laifu, the journey was smooth, with few people speaking to him. They just said hello and turned sideways. Jiang Wang, who had greatly improved his hearing, heard many whispers from the Chongxuan tribe.
"Is that person Jiang Qingyang? He doesn't look very murderous, but he is gentle and polite."
"He is a talented person who is famous overseas. You didn't see him when he killed me!"
"Have you seen me together?"
"I haven't seen it, but my cousin has!"
There are many discussions like this, which shows Jiang Wang's current reputation. Of course, it may also be because of his relationship with Chongxuan Sheng that the people in the Chongxuan family are more concerned about his news.
Contrary to imagination, the ancestral hall of the Chongxuan family is not grand at all, and it cannot even be called "big".
Several clumps of green bamboo form a small bamboo forest.
A small ancient temple is hidden in the bamboo forest.
Blue bricks and gray tiles, nothing surprising.
Chongxuan Laifu explained thoughtfully: "The Chongxuan family has a larger ancestral hall, but it is for ordinary clan members to worship. This ancestral hall is the real ancestral hall of the Chongxuan family. You represent Sheng When the young master comes back, he will naturally be here."
There is a wooden plaque hanging above the door of the ancestral hall. On the plaque are the four characters "Chongxuan Ancestral Temple", which is written with the front inside, thick and majestic.
There are two couplets engraved on the doorposts on both sides of the door.
Zuo Lian said:
The weight of the world is nothing more important than shouldering responsibilities.
The right couplet says:
How difficult is life? How difficult is it to kill one's life and kill one's enemies?
Those who have truly experienced it can understand the weight of this connection.
The word "people" means growth when carrying a heavy burden. Fang means "big", and adults mean "big".
Responsibility is indeed the heaviest in the world, heavier than mountains and seas.
And in a long life, sometimes the most embarrassing thing to break is the word "delusion".
It is vanity, arrogance, delusion, and improper thinking.
Because the enemy is right on the opposite side and can be cut with a sword. Even if you are fighting against fate, there are traces to follow. But the word "Wu" comes from one's own body, let alone killing "Wu", many people don't realize it until they die. Either they are arrogant and do not know the enemy or ourselves, or they fall into vanity and cannot extricate themselves.
The Chongxuan family is based on the secret art of Chongxuan. Even mountains and seas are not out of reach, but the couplet says that the most important thing in the world is responsibility.
The Chongxuan family was once very prosperous and prosperous with the country. It was one of the top famous families in the world. But it can be written in the couplet that the most difficult thing in life is to kill the delusion.
Commitment and sobriety.
There is nothing more suitable for the Chongxuan family than this couplet.
This couplet shows the family tradition.
No wonder Chongxuan Futu chose to fight to the death in the Mysterious Realm, disintegrate the Tao body, and open up the Pure Land of Futu.
No wonder that when his family was in crisis, Chongxuan Yunbo put on his armor again and rushed to the battlefield with his old age.
No wonder Chu Liang, Chongxuan, became famous through bloody battles. He killed his former friends on the battlefield in Qiyang and carried the military god in Linzi city.
No wonder...
There are two bluestone piers in front of the door. The stone pier on the left was empty, but a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on the stone pier on the right.
The man was wearing ordinary gray cloth clothes, with his eyes closed and silent, not even breathing, as if he were a sculpture.
The proximity of Chongxuan Laifu and Jiang Wang didn't seem to have any effect on him.
He is like a part of this temple, not a specific person.
Chongxuan Laifu bowed respectfully to him and opened the door of the ancestral hall without saying hello.
Jiang Wang saluted in the same way. He came to offer sacrifices on behalf of Chongxuansheng, so of course he would not offend anyone on behalf of Chongxuansheng. Wherever I can avoid being rude, I will never be rude.
Along with a slight creaking sound, a wisp of breeze swirled through the courtyard.
When he arrived here, Chongxuan Laifu stopped talking, and even his footsteps were as silent as possible, as if he was afraid of disturbing his ancestors.
Jiang Wang walked calmly, but the training of the Five Immortals Ru Meng Ling's voice allowed him to completely annihilate the sound.
The two of them walked into the Chongxuan Ancestral Temple.
"What are you doing!"
A powerful voice sounded from behind, breaking the solemnity and purity of the ancestral hall.
Jiang Wang looked back and saw an old man with a short beard, glaring at him angrily.
He looked at her calmly but did not say a word.
Again, this is the Chongxuan family, and he doesn't want to offend anyone on Chongxuan's behalf.
Hearing the voice, Chongxuan Laifu turned around and trotted around. He came close to him, nodded and bowed and said, "My elder, this is Mr. Jiang Wangjiang. I came to the ancestral temple for Mr. Sheng."
The short-bearded elder of the Chongxuan family heard Chongxuan Laifu's explanation, but ignored him and continued to stare at Jiang Wang: "Who are you? Why do you come to the ancestral temple for Master Sheng? I, Chongxuan, Is it possible for the ancestral temple of the Xuan family to be worshiped by cocks, dogs, and thieves?"
No matter how his status is improved, Zhongxuan Laifu will still be just a slave of the Chongxuan family and will never be able to rise above his master's family. Not to mention compared to my elders.
So even if he was completely ignored, he wasn't the least bit annoyed.
He was only afraid that Mr. Jiang would be wronged and that Mr. Xin would not be able to explain it to Mr. Sheng.
Therefore, even though he was scared in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said with an apologetic smile: "My dear, you have been in seclusion all year round, so you may not know something. Young Master Jiang is our best friend of Young Master Sheng. The second-level Haishi is a genius among the younger generation of our Daqi!"
This boss is obviously looking for trouble.
To this day, if there is anyone in the Chongxuan family who doesn't know Jiang Wang's name, it's unless he doesn't worry about who will be the future head of the family at all. But which Chongxuan clan member would not care who is the head of the family?
Jiang Wang knew this, but he didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so he remained silent.
Chongxuan Laifu also knew this, but he hoped that the elder could be more sober. So it’s called explanation, but it’s actually to create momentum.
"It turns out to be a baron!"
The short-bearded old man sneered: "When did the threshold of my Chongxuan family get this low?"
"It's Mr. Sheng who asked Mr. Jiang to offer sacrifices on his behalf..." Chongxuan Laifu tried to persuade him again, wanting to use Chongxuan Sheng's name to overwhelm others.
But the short-bearded old man slapped him with his backhand: "Do you have the right to speak here?!"
Chongxuan Laifu didn't even dare to dodge, and was already prepared to have half of his teeth knocked out.
But the slap did not fall.
While it was still in the air, it was caught by a young and strong hand.
The short-bearded old man's eyes flashed, and the young man in the ancestral temple had already appeared in front of him.
And my wrist... seems to be cast into iron!
Jiang Wang looked at him calmly and said slowly: "You are angry, why should you bully your subordinates? It will ruin the reputation of the Chongxuan family for nothing."
He turned around and used his free left hand to point to the couplet carved in front of the ancestral temple: "Please note that on this couplet of the ancestral temple, there is the word "Zhuan Wang"!
"You...let me go!" The short-bearded old man secretly tried his best, but he couldn't get rid of the iron fist.
After all, he was also a Wailou monk, but he was as helpless as a child in front of this young man!
He was so angry and anxious that he spoke without hesitation: "You are a crazy and rebellious person. You are just clinging to my Chongxuan family to survive. You eat my Chongxuan family, drink my Chongxuan family, and use my Chongxuan family. Now, How dare you attack me!?"
Not only was Jiang Wang not angry, he actually smiled. With a slight movement of his fingers, the short-bearded old man was caught off guard and almost fell down. He took a few steps back before he could regain his balance.
"So you know me."
Jiang Wang looked at the person with a smile and asked calmly: "But I don't know who you are and what your name is?"
You have to know me, but I have no idea who you are.
So the question is, who is more important, and who is the arrogant one?
There was not a word of contempt in Jiang Wang's words, but he couldn't be more contemptuous.
"I'm afraid you won't know that I've been promoted to the Xuan Dynasty?" The old man with a short beard glared angrily: "You are a country boy, what can you do to me!"
He deliberately muddied the waters in order to anger the other party. It would be best if the young man couldn't control his temper and came up to beat him.
"I'm too lazy to do anything to you." Jiang Wang smiled.
If you can't do it, you are lazy.
"It is Ah Sheng's wish to return to the clan place regularly and offer a stick of incense to the ancestral temple. He is currently working overseas and won't be able to come back for a while, so he asked me to do it for him. That's all. That's all. I can't. Come."
He did not continue the argument and walked out directly: "Then let Chongxuan Sheng do it himself."
The implication is obvious - wait for Zhong Xuan Sheng to come find you.
No matter how you say it, Chongxuan Hengsheng is also the patriarch of the Chongxuan family. He is a member of the Chongxuan clan whose surname is Chongxuan.
No matter how Jiang Wang dealt with him, it was not appropriate. It's meaningless if it's too light, and it's easy to make it difficult for Zhongxuan to win if it's too heavy.
Letting Chongxuan Sheng handle it himself is the best way.
And that fat man with a kind face and a cruel heart would never save face for Chong Xuanheng just because he was older.
Chongxuan Laifu quickly closed the door of the ancestral hall, and Baba followed Jiang Wang and left.
There was a drumbeat in my heart, and I felt very happy. Chongxuan Hengsheng was a dignified family man. His palms were raised in the air, but he was unable to slap them down!
At this time, Mr. Jiang's back looked so heroic as he walked away gracefully.
What is momentum? This is called momentum!
"Crazy guy!" Chongxuan Hengsheng scolded through gritted teeth in response to Jiang Wang's casual words, but he could not conceal his stern look.
From the beginning to the end, the middle-aged man sitting on the stone pier showed no reaction at all.
Even though Zhongxuan Hengsheng almost got into a fight with Jiang Wang, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
And neither Chongxuan Hengsheng nor Chongxuan Laifu thought about having any communication with him.
There was a falling bamboo leaf that was blown towards him by the wind. The moment it landed in front of him, it fell silently and quickly, like a sharp knife, and was inserted into the ground.
A leaf is as heavy as cast iron.
Chongxuan Laifu followed Jiang Wang out and asked anxiously: "Master Jiang, are you really not going to offer sacrifices?"
Although Jiang Wang came to Qiuyang County, what he paid most attention to was Chu Mi's funeral. But offering sacrifices to Chongxuan Sheng in the temple is actually no small matter. Being able to worship the Xuan Sheng Temple on behalf of others is in itself a declaration of power.
Chongxuan Sheng wanted to use this method to tell everyone in the Chongxuan family that Jiang Wang could fully represent him in the future. See Jiang Wangru and see him. This is to enhance Jiang Wang's influence, and at the same time, use Jiang Wang's current reputation to further consolidate his own influence.
Chongxuan Laifu knew this meaning, so he was so attentive in receiving him this time. Of course Na Chongxuan Hengsheng also knew this, and perhaps this was the reason why he came to obstruct him.
In Chongxuan Laifu's view, Jiang Wang's inability to continue to replace Chongxuan Shengsi Temple was a huge loss. That's why I ask.
He suggested carefully: "We can wait until the Hengsheng family leaves before we go..."
"Hide and seek?" Jiang Wang chuckled softly: "I'm not interested in playing this with the old man."
What was a major event for Chongxuan Laifu was not worth mentioning for Jiang Wang.
After returning from Tianya Terrace, he had already become famous and no longer needed to rely on the power of the Xuan family. When people in Qi talk about him, they will no longer say that he is Zhongxuansheng's good friend. On the contrary, when people mention Chongxuansheng, they will often mention Jiang Qingyang first.
No one knows that he suppressed the monks in Diaohai Tower into silence!
"Then you go back to your room and rest first." Chongxuan Laifu was still determined: "I'll ask someone to come and give you a shoulder rub to make sure you're top-notch!"
Jiang Wang glanced at him and thought, you are really persistent. No wonder Chong Xuanxin had dark circles under his eyes all day long.
He shook his head and said: "Just pinch your shoulders and you won't have to. That Chongxuan Hengsheng, what happened to him?"
Chongxuan Laifu looked around and whispered: "His heart is towards Mr. Zun."
In this way, Jiang Wang understood.
Chong Xuan Sheng had made several big moves before, driving Wang Yiwu out of Linzi, suppressing the clan's silence. Not only are his peers difficult to criticize, but even the elders in the clan, few have the weight of his words.
His status is getting more and more important, but there is always a critical point that he cannot pass.
He had the advantage of being the heir, but he was unable to make a final decision and completely determine the inheritance rights.
It's not because he's not good enough or doesn't work hard enough.
But because there is another person -
Chongxuanzun.
Although that person has not moved or even made a sound for a long time.
But no one can ignore him.
In August of 3918 in the Dao calendar, Chongxuan Shengshen made a move and arranged to send Chongxuan Zun to Jixia Academy for a one-year confinement training.
Unconsciously, it is already May of 3919, and there are only three months left before the expiration...
It's no wonder that within the Chongxuan family, someone else is starting to make trouble.
The mountain rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building.
We are about to meet Chongxuan Zun head-on. Chongxuan Sheng, are you ready?
Jiang Wang looked down at his palms and asked in his heart, Jiang Wang, are you ready?
The supreme genius who has taken away all the splendor of his peers, the legendary Zhongxuan Zun who is most likely to have achieved Tianfu!
Are you really ready to meet him?
The five fingers slowly came together, and Jiang Wang clenched his fist.
Might as well... give it a try!
