Qian Chao was naturally very interested in meeting the current head of the Tian family. The five of them once encountered danger in Ruixuan Town. That time they were attacked by several foundation-building monks, who were given by Tang Ping with Tang Bonian. The life-saving thing saved Qian Chao, but the incident was caused by a book written by Lei Xian, and among the foundation-building monks who took action were those sent by the Tian family. Tang Bonian happened to be in Ruixuan Town that time, and then he Taking advantage of the topic, he directly ordered the town to be locked up and searched, and Tian Shuangjin of the Tian family in Ruixuan Town was arrested. Later, the person who went to Ruixuan Town to discuss the matter with Tang Bonian was the head of the family, Tian Jiang. No one saw the head of the Tian family.
This time, the head of the No. 1 family in the world came to Wuling Sect because of the trouble caused by Tian Du. If there was an opportunity to meet this person, Qian Chao would naturally not miss it.
"Why did he come to Wuling? Can we see him?" Qian Chao asked as he stood up.
"Of course you can. I heard that my sixth grandfather said that he came in the name of a visit, and to visit, you have to take the waterway to enter the Five Spirits Sect."
There seemed to be nothing unusual at the Tianshui Lake. After Qian Chao and Tang Ping rushed over, Tang Ping took Qian Chao to a nearby pavilion, where Yanxuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan were already waiting. .
"Is everyone here?" Qian Chao asked.
"Of course, it is Tian Jiang. If you want to see it, let's take a look together. I asked Sister Yan to find Brother Li and Brother Lu. Let's see what kind of person this Tian Jiang is."
That small dock was the place where the five of them took a boat upstream from Youming Valley and first set foot on the Five Spirits Sect after passing the body refining process. Later, Yan Shuang got off the boat here when he entered the Five Spirits Sect. The disciples who came to Wuling Sect to participate in the centenary ceremony also got off the boat here. Today, the small pier is the same as usual. There is no special arrangement. At this time, there are only monks from the sect passing by occasionally near the pier. It seems that the sect is not No preparations were made in advance for Tian Jiang's arrival.
"Is it so deserted?" Yanxuan asked curiously, "At any rate, that is the head of the Tian family."
"Hehe, he is here to beg the sect to let his son go. Hey, will he kneel down and crawl all the way into the meeting hall when he gets off the boat?" Lu Pingchuan said.
"It's impossible," Tang Ping said, "The sect will definitely send someone to pick him up, but there will definitely be no welcoming ceremony. The Tian family leader tried to be as low-key as possible this time. He doesn't want the Wuling Sect to make the scene very lively. Then It will embarrass him even more.”
"Someone is coming over there, some elders." Li Jian looked in the direction of the meeting hall.
Sure enough, several elders in the meeting hall walked towards the small pier together. It must be said that there were not many opportunities to see Elder Jie Dan walking together like this on weekdays. The disciples he encountered were all busy bowing to each other.
"It seems Tian Jiang is coming." Tang Ping said.
Far away from Tianshui Lake, a small boat appeared in the big river that flows out of the Wuling Sect. When it first appeared, almost no one paid attention. It was a small boat, as small as the most ordinary fishing boat. It didn't even have a awning. No, there was a man standing on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back. The boat had no oars, no oars, and no sail, and it just drifted towards the small pier.
"That's Tian Jiang?" Li Jian said.
"It should be him." Tang Ping said.
Qian Chao kept focusing on the man on the bow of the boat.
The appearance of the middle-aged man is somewhat similar to that of Tian Du. He is slightly majestic and tall. He has a few black beards under his chin and a thin face. His hair is tied into a bun on the top of his head and pinned with an ordinary hairpin. Wearing an ordinary beige robe, with a jade pendant hanging on the ribbon around his waist, when the boat approached the pier, the man noticed several elders waiting on the pier, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. The man had just stopped the boat. He stepped onto the pier in one step, and while walking and talking, he raised his hands in salute. When he came to the elders, his waist was already bent. The elders also hurriedly returned the salute, and then extended their hands to help each other. Next, the middle-aged man chatted with these elders and seemed to be very familiar with each other. Seeing them talking, laughing and being very affectionate together was like friends reunited after not seeing each other for many years. It didn't seem like the situation was unfavorable at all. , the head of the Tian family, who was under great pressure, seemed to have made a special trip to visit an old friend.
That person was Tian Jiang. It was said that Tian Jiang liked fancy clothes in the Tian family, but this trip to the Wuling Sect was to show weakness, so he dressed up so simply.
Is this Tian Jiang?
Is this the person who has been deliberately thinking about uprooting the Qian family of Qi?
When he thought of this, Qian Chao looked at Tian Jiang's face. Among the Qian family, what he cared about most was his parents. If he had no spiritual roots at all when he was selected for the first round, or if Senior Tang looked down on him, The lowest spiritual root will probably be gone in a few years due to his early death. At that time, the entire Qian family will be exterminated and blood will flow like a river. Then his parents will inevitably die. He would not be spared, thanks to the Five Spirits Sect, and thanks to the grace of Senior Tang, but even now, the head of the Tian family has never given up the opportunity to exterminate the Qian family.
The enemy!
It is a powerful enemy that Qian Chao is currently unable to contend with. He may be able to barely defeat his son now, but this Tian Jiang can only be dealt with by relying on the sect, and only in this way can he save his parents who are far away in Qi State.
Maybe Qian Chao had been staring at Tian Jiang for a long time, or maybe he couldn't help but have strong emotions when he looked at Tian Jiang. Tian Jiang, who was walking with several council elders, suddenly felt something in his heart, and seemed to have noticed it. A cold gaze came from behind, and he paused for a moment. He wanted to look back, but many elders gave up, but they were very curious in their hearts.
Li Jian looked at Qian Chao and said:
"Brother Qian, Tian Jiang noticed that you were staring at him."
Qian Chao nodded slightly and sighed.
Yanxuan was curious about how familiar and affectionate those people were when they met:
"Obviously they are rivals, and they both wish each other bad luck, but when they meet, they are all affectionate and affectionate. This seems really weird."
Lu Pingchuan said:
"That's right, are you tired? I want to kill each other. They look like brothers. They are so fake and boring. Hey, that's Tian Jiang? He looks like a human. Why do you keep holding back? Are you going to harm people and raise such a worthless son? Will our sect directly detain him in the Five Spirits Sect this time and not let him go back?"
Tang Ping said:
"Will not."
As she spoke, Tang Ping pointed upward and continued:
"Tian Jiang is here to talk after all. The sect will not do such a thing, and even if it is done, it will not help. If Tian Jiang is imprisoned, the Tian family will immediately choose a new head. Not only will it have no impact on the Tian family On the contrary, it will completely force them to rebel. The most important thing is that this time, only Tian Jiang came to the Tian family, but the sect has already beaten the Tian family to pain with the help of our incident. I heard my sixth grandfather said that there are several elders in the Tian family. The things have also arrived, and now we are drinking tea and playing chess with the ancestors on Yuhu Mountain."
"Oh, Yuanying monk?" Li Jian asked in surprise.
"Yes, there are several Nascent Soul cultivators in the Tian family, otherwise they would not have the strength they have now."
Yanxuan asked puzzledly:
"So what if the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tian family are here? If we can't reach an agreement, will they still dare to run wild on Yuhu Mountain?"
"Of course not," Tang Ping said, "That's just a gesture. Even the Nascent Soul monks from the Tian family came all the way to the Wuling Sect just to express their submissive attitude towards the Wuling Sect. Otherwise, the Nascent Soul Realm Other ancestors must be like Poseidon in the Tian family, how can they move around at will?"
"That's it." Yanxuan finally understood.
Qian Chao stared at Tian Jiang's back and asked something that made Tang Ping a little stunned:
"Girl Tang, Qin Suijie's father Qin Zhang is also the head of the Qin family. What kind of person is this Qin Zhang?"
"Oh," Tang Ping didn't expect that Qian Chao would think of Qin Suijie's father. She glanced at Tian Jiang who had gone away and said, "Qin Zhang is also a good-looking man. He is usually unsmiling, stubborn, and sinister. .”
Qian Chao nodded after listening.
Tian Jiang's arrival was quiet, and only a few passing disciples in the Wuling Sect looked sideways. Now that the group had entered the meeting hall, the five of them stood up to leave. Lu Pingchuan suddenly said:
"Hey, brother Qian's injuries are healed now. We have defeated Jing Jie and Tian Du this time. We haven't celebrated yet. I think we might as well come to my place today. I'll cook some good dishes. Sister Tang will come out. A few jars of good wine, how about we have a nice meal and drink?"
"Okay!" Tang Ping immediately agreed.
…
Houtu Temple, near Senior Kangfu's cave.
A fire was lit in an open space, and the meat was roasted on the shelf until it was sizzling and dripping with oil. The fire was bright in the stove next to it, and Lu Pingchuan was busy there. The thick soup was boiling, and the aroma was overflowing. Delicious dishes were being stir-fried in the small pot. Li Jian was shaking the barbecue on the shelf, and Tang Ping was scooping out the meat from the big pot with a spoon. Tang quenched his greed, Dahuang squatted on Tang Ping's shoulder and stretched out his hands to grab it anxiously. Yanxuan next to him was laughing at them, and Qian Chao was teasing Xiaobai who was released by Tang Ping.
Kang Fu was attracted by the movement outside his cave and took a look. After seeing Tang Ping, he joked with her for a few words and then went back. Speaking of which, Senior Kang Fu was also sent out by the sect council a while ago. He was from a powerful and powerful family, and he personally escorted the head of that family back to the Five Spirits Sect.
At noon, the table was filled with delicious food, and the five people were eating and talking.
"Well, by the way, Mr. Qian," Tang Ping, who was full of oil after eating, wiped it with a handkerchief and continued, "I went to see Shen Wei a few days ago. He was trapped in Xiaowu Pass. I heard what he said It has been almost a year since he could not break through, but recently it seems that the bottleneck has been loosened. Well, in my opinion, his parents were killed by the Qin family, so the hatred and anger in his heart have not been small. Having depression in his heart for a long time is not good for his practice, but his qualifications are pretty good. I hope Brother Shen can overcome this hurdle soon. I told my sixth grandfather, and he said he could help with this, but at least We have to wait until he breaks through the Xiao Wu level, so we have to wait for a while.”
Qian Chao raised his glass and nodded. He couldn't help Shen Wei with breaking through the Xiaowu Pass, but if he could talk to him, Qian Chao felt that he might be able to resolve the depression in his heart.
Li Jian drank a glass of wine and said:
"This time Jing Jie, Tian Du and Jin Zhang are dealing with us. Why do I feel that the manpower they hired is much more powerful than the manpower Wen Liang hired back then?"
Yanxuan also felt the same, nodded and said:
"Yes, I also think those people are difficult to deal with."
Tang Ping went to tear up a piece of barbecue and said:
"It's very simple, because those people are not casual cultivators. The people recruited by these three guys are all outstanding juniors from some big families. Well, let's put it this way, I still remember the night when Senior Sister Yan Shuang was attacked for the first time. I remember that Brother Lu had to deal with a very powerful guy in the end, and Brother Lu only defeated him after drinking the 'Blood Soul Wine', right?"
Lu Pingchuan immediately thought of it and said quickly:
"Yes, yes, that's right. I still remember that guy. He was really difficult to deal with. Without the blood soul wine, it's hard to say whether I could have beaten him down that day."
The person Tang Ping was talking about was Brother Zhao, who was now inseparable from Mu Yangzong Guisu. He was now named Zhao Ji. The real Brother Zhao was a descendant of a large family named Zhao in Muyang Zong. This family could also be regarded as It is a family of evil cultivators. What they inherit is a "soul refining technique". Everyone in the Zhao family has one or several jade pendants on their bodies. The jade pendants contain a refined monk's soul. Brother Zhao's piece Yu Pei's is the soul of a foundation-building monk. When the soul refining technique is activated, it uses means to force the soul in the jade pendant to temporarily seize itself. Note that it is a temporary seizure rather than a real seizure. This way, Brother Zhao's methods can be used in a short time. He was greatly improved, but later after Lu Pingchuan drank the "Blood Soul Wine", he completely overwhelmed Brother Zhao, and even broke the jade pendant on Brother Zhao during the fight, and the jade pendant was Zhao The jade pendant, the key thing that restrained the temporarily captured soul, was broken, and that soul took the opportunity to completely capture Brother Zhao.
Tang Ping continued:
"That person seems to be Zhao, a child of a family. He must be a leader among the children of the Zhao family, so he was kept by Gui Su. This time, Jing Jie, Jin Zhang and Tian Du are looking for big names. The outstanding figures in the big and small aristocratic families are all similar to the one named Zhao. Back then, a man named Zhao forced Brother Lu to drink the 'blood soul wine'. That night, more than a hundred masters from the aristocratic families besieged us. Of course We can’t bear it anymore.”
Li Jian nodded and said:
"It seems that the masters in the practice world are still in the aristocratic family."
"I haven't seen that, Brother Li. There are masters among casual cultivators, but such people are generally smart and know that life is more important than spiritual stones. They will not sacrifice their lives for a mere spiritual stone. Therefore, such people are gentle and kind. It’s just hard to find.”
…
While Qian Chao, Tang Ping and others were eating, drinking and talking, a person returned to Wuling Sect from outside.
This man had just returned after leaving the sect for several months. He was Shangguanhong's master and the elder of the Shuiyun Valley Yuling Sect, Qiu Huahe.
As mentioned before, Qiu Huahe took his two female disciples to search for Qingluan outside the sect but failed. Then because he had something to do and was anxious to go out, he temporarily stopped the search for Qingluan and did not return from the outside until today.
It has to be said that Senior Qiu has missed many lively things happening in the sect in the past few months.
Whether going out or coming in from Wuling Sect, the easiest way is to climb over the mountain outside and enter directly. However, the rules within the sect are strict. Generally speaking, Qi refining disciples must follow the prescribed path when entering and leaving the sect. Foundation-building monks have more access points to use. After reaching the level of pill formation, it becomes more convenient to enter and exit the sect, and there are fewer rules. For example, for Qiu Huahe now, when he enters and exits the sect, he has no one except the sect. There were several forbidden areas that he could not directly cross. He usually entered the sect directly from wherever he happened to be. But today, by coincidence, he crossed in from the Houtu Temple.
As mentioned more than once before, Elder Qiu has been searching all over the world for a spirit fox with the bloodline of the Sky Fox, which will be of great benefit to his practice, making him dream but unable to find one.
But Tang Ping had Xiaobai since she was a child. After Fairy Guhuo's appraisal, Xiaobai was the remnant of Tianhu's bloodline. Therefore, Fairy Guhuo had hesitated to accept Tang Ping as her disciple. She was worried. It is his senior brother Qiu Huahe. He is worried that if Qiu Huahe sees Tang Ping's white fox, he will definitely fight for it, and Tang Ping will definitely not be able to protect the white fox. If she intervenes, she will treat her senior brother He realized that it would be the end of the brother and sister's rebellion, so he gave up in his heart. Later, he could not resist Tang Bonian's instigation and accepted Tang Ping. After that, he passed on his personal treasure "Rufeng Pai" to Tang Pingzuo. It was used for self-defense, and he also used the blood of two people to perform the blood-killing technique.
The reason why Qiu Huahe left his disciples alone during this period was because he received news that a white demon fox was haunting a certain place, so he hurried over to check, but he left happily but came back frustrated.
He didn't know that his disciple Shangguan Hong had an important discovery to tell him. Just as he was about to return to his cave after crossing the Houtu Temple, he smelled the aroma of barbecue coming up from below. Although the monk Jiedan Most of them are inedible, but the alchemy monk naturally recognizes the delicious taste of barbecue, so he inadvertently glanced down in the air...
It was this glance that made the elder Qiu Huahe, who had cultivated alchemy skills, freeze in the air for an instant as if he had been struck by lightning!
Below there is a little white thing jumping around begging for food around a table full of dishes...
Is it a white fox?
yes!
