"You can't do such a small thing well! I really don't know why the head of the family took in you people from the Wang family!"
A beautiful middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes was standing in front of the side door, almost pointing her nose at a female nun in a yellow dress in front of her. The originally good-looking woman had this bossy look on her face. His posture, as well as the dirty words that came out of his mouth, looked less like a monk and more like an aunt at the market yelling curses.
But the female cultivator who was scolded by her just lowered her head, bit her lips, and clasped her jade hands tightly, not daring to refute at all.
"Hmph! You just have a good-looking body. If I were you, I would have the sense to agree with the Eighth Young Master earlier and be an honest concubine."
The woman continued to demonstrate her "authority".
After a while, it seemed that the female cultivator had no intention of fighting back, and she felt bored, so she spat:
"You will not be allowed to return home tonight as a punishment, otherwise huh!"
After saying that, she finally walked in through the side door with satisfaction.
The female cultivator only glanced at the side door of the Zou family for a while, then turned and left.
However, not long after she left, she "happened" to meet Yun He who witnessed the whole process.
The female cultivator with her head lowered seemed to have noticed that a foundation-building cultivator was in front of her, and she saluted respectfully:
"I've met senior."
After saying that, he turned sideways and made way.
However, what puzzled her was that the foundation-building senior opposite seemed to pause and did not understand what she meant.
She frowned slightly and prepared to salute again and leave, but a slightly familiar voice interrupted her movements.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, long time no see."
Wang Jinglan raised his head in confusion.
Look towards the speaker.
When she saw Yun He's face, Wang Jinglan finally found the spirit beekeeper she had taken out to search for the traces of the spirit bee queen from a corner of her memory.
Her face was filled with disbelief.
Because she could clearly feel that the person in front of her was a genuine foundation-building overhaul!
But she was unable to connect the foundation construction overhaul with the lowly spiritual beekeeper.
It wasn't until Yun He spoke again that she finally accepted this fact.
"I never expected to meet fellow Taoist Wang here, but I was so abrupt."
"Senior Yun, you should not be called a 'fellow Taoist'. Wang Jinglan has met your senior."
As she spoke, Wang Jinglan bowed her hands, but her expression and heart were extremely complicated.
But no matter what, the exchange of status and cultivation between the two is an established fact, and she cannot help but accept it.
Yun He smiled and didn't bother too much about the title.
"When old friends meet, let's have a drink. I wonder what Daoyou Wang thinks?"
Hearing this, Wang Jinglan pursed his lips, hesitated slightly, and nodded:
"Senior invites you, Jinglan dare not refuse."
'There is a thorn in the words. '
But Yun He didn't care either.
What he was more concerned about was why Wang Jinglan appeared here.
And what exactly happened in Hejianfang City at that time.
The files about the Wang family found in the Evergreen Sect only recorded some simple descriptions of the destruction of Hejianfang City and the fall of the Wang family.
A teahouse in Zoucheng.
"I see."
After listening to Wang Jinglan's simple story, Yun He knew some of the reasons for the incident.
It turns out that the Wang family and the Zou family are immortal cultivating families that have been intertwined for generations. Wang Jinglan's mother is a member of the Zou family, and many women from the Wang family have married into the Zou family.
After all, the Wang family, which can control a small city under the management of the Evergreen Sect, can be regarded as a small and powerful family.
Although it is not as good as the Zou family who has fake elixir monks, how many families can have elixir-forming monks?
Therefore, the marriage between the Wang family and the Zou family makes sense.
In fact, the Wang family is not the only one who is married to the Zou family, there are also many other immortal cultivating families.
This is one of the ways of survival for cultivating families in the world of cultivating immortals.
Marrying each other can not only increase the connection between each other, but also enhance the influence of the family.
The combination of monks with spiritual roots can also increase the probability of giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots, which is one of the ways to continue the continuation of a cultivating family.
And, most importantly.
If the family is really destroyed, like the Wang family, there will still be some family blood left, and it may be possible to rise again in the future.
As for Hejianfang City and what happened that day.
Wang Jinglan couldn't explain why. From her point of view, the Wang family was gone.
Only a small number of them survived because they were not at the center of the incident when the chaos broke out in Hejianfang City.
Now she is staying in Zou's house, living under the shelter of others, and her life is not as good as before.
Moreover, because of the destruction of the Wang family, some women who originally married into the Zou family and lived a relatively good life have also become worse off.
The most important thing is that these women also stood from the perspective of the Zou family and rejected Wang Jinglan and other members of the Wang family, believing that their arrival had affected their lives.
The woman who had previously denounced Wang Jinglan was one of them.
It can only be said that the experience during this period of time allowed Wang Jinglan to see various aspects of life.
After hearing this, Yun He couldn't help but frowned.
'Why do you always have something to do with the Wang family? '
It was Wangjia Village before, and this time it was the Zou family who was married to the Wang family.
'I always feel that something is not quite right. '
Although he also cares about the Wang family's affairs, he only cares about it and does not want to involve himself.
But why do I always feel like I can’t get around it?
'You can't just run away regardless of the sect's arrangements, right? '
Looking at Yun He who was deep in thought, Wang Jinglan, who was sitting opposite, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak.
She thought that her cultivation speed to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining was fast enough, but she never thought that Yun He, who was lower than her at the beginning, would actually build the foundation.
And it seems that he has also joined the Evergreen Sect.
Just when Wang Jinglan hesitated, Yun He across from him suddenly stood up.
Under her somewhat astonished gaze, she placed a storage bag on the table and said with a smile:
"When I was in Hejianfang City, I was grateful to Fellow Daoist Wang for taking care of me. I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Wang for clarifying my doubts."
Then, under Wang Jinglan's puzzled gaze, he slowly left the teahouse.
to be honest.
Wang Jinglan still has some confidence in his appearance.
She had met many monks before, and even after the fall of the Wang family, there were still many suitors for her.
Even when she recognized Yun He at first sight and heard him inviting her to have a drink, the thought arose in her mind: "Is this guy also pursuing her?"
However, due to Yun He's cultivation level and the fact that the two of them knew each other, he did not refuse.
But what she didn't expect was that the "drink" Yunhe meant was tea.
Forget it.
After learning what he wanted to know, he didn't even have the slightest intention of staying. He threw down a storage bag and left.
This made Wang Jinglan, who had once wanted to grit his teeth and agree to Yun He's "pursuit" and use his reputation as a foundation-building monk to rebuild the Wang family by becoming a Taoist companion, was stunned.
After a while, she slowly came back to her senses.
Looking at the storage bag on the table, he chuckled to himself.
She is totally being sentimental.
But he recovered quickly.
'To revive the Wang family, we still have to rely on ourselves. Otherwise, can the family be named Wang in the future? '
Wang Jinglan also helped Yun He when he was in Hejianfang City, such as the Green Scale Sword and the Spirit Talisman.
But that's all.
When I saw Wang Jinglan, I stopped her just because I was wondering why she was here.
If he was really interested in her, Yun He would have appeared when he saw that "shrew" yelling at her.
Yunhe does not object to or reject things between men and women. When he first came to this world, he had never been to Hongying Building in Hejianfang City.
But to say that he can't walk when he sees a good-looking woman, and even gets himself into trouble, he is not that irrational.
The contents of the storage bag he left behind were enough to repay the last favor and this time's "consulting fee."
The two of them were settled.
Yunhe, who always felt something was wrong but couldn't explain the reason, started wandering around Zoucheng.
Most of the people in Zoucheng are mortals.
And among these mortals, the vast majority are people with the surname Zou.
They are members or descendants of the Zou family who have no spiritual roots.
Of course, there are also many monks with foreign surnames.
According to the rules of the Zou family, in Zou City, as long as the mortals do not deliberately provoke or disrespect the monks, even the monks are not allowed to deal with mortals at will.
But along the way, what Yunhe saw the most was the monks' disdain for mortals, and even the overt and covert suppression and bullying.
"This fellow Taoist from the Evergreen Sect, why don't you come up and get together?"
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a voice coming from a restaurant.
Following the sound, I found that the person speaking was also a Foundation Establishment monk, and he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
The other party was wearing khaki clothes.
"It turns out he is a senior fellow from the Houtu Sect." Yun He smiled and bowed.
At the same time, he saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in the restaurant, and he did not rush to scan them with his spiritual consciousness, but he estimated that they were all disciples of various sects.
After pondering for a while, Yunhe accepted the invitation and came to the top floor of the restaurant.
There were indeed a lot of people, most of them wearing sect clothes. Among them were not only the Houtu Sect that Yunhe had recognized before, but also monks from the Spiritual Beast Sect, Guiyuan Sect, Qinhai Sect and other sects.
Except for the monks from the Spiritual Beast Sect and the Guiyuan Sect who were obviously not easy to deal with, the rest were at least friendly and kind on the surface.
besides.
There are also some family monks and even foundation-building casual cultivators.
It is estimated that he is either here to celebrate his birthday or to participate in the "Treasure Exchange Conference".
But this group of people is obviously incompatible with the sect monks.
"I'm Yunhe from Changqing Sect. I've met all of you senior fellow apprentices and fellow Taoists."
Most of the monks present were in the middle stage of foundation building, and there were even one or two in the late stage of foundation building. Yun He not only lamented the power of the sect.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Yun. You're welcome. Please have a seat."
The Houtu Sect monk who called him before also had a cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building. He was good at dancing and introduced Yun He into the group of sect monks with a smile.
After Yun He briefly got to know these monks, he said nothing more.
He just sat there silently, drinking and listening to their talk.
I also got some useful or useless information.
'With so many sect monks here, nothing can really happen, right? Not to mention whether it can be done or not, this will offend at least a few sects with pill-forming monks. '
Thinking of this, Yun He suddenly felt relieved.
at the same time.
In the forest about fifty or sixty miles away from Zoucheng.
"Hehe, Taoist friends have such great ambitions that they actually choose to start with the Zou family."
A harsh, sore-teeth sound with a hint of joking and ridicule echoed in the forest.
But I could only hear his voice but not see his person.
"snort!"
Another voice came from a towering ancient tree.
I saw an old man with white hair walking slowly out of the tree.
The gloomy eyes squinted at the corner of the woods, seeming to have locked onto the source of another sound.
He said coldly:
"If it weren't for your people's incompetence in doing things, why would the old man come to Zou's house?"
"That's not what I said. Even if my people didn't miss, wouldn't Fellow Daoist come to the Zou family? Hehehehe - some people in the Zou family are a 'big tonic' to Fellow Daoist. Besides, Taoist friends have been coveting the Zou family’s magic weapon for a day or two, right?”
After discovering that he had been traced, this person did not hide anymore.
The middle-aged monk, holding a cane and hunched over, floated out of the dense forest step by step.
That's right, it's Gone with the Wind.
The old man looked at the rickety middle-aged monk with considerable fear. He did not defend himself anymore, but just turned his head and looked in the direction of the Zou family.
A flash of blood appeared in his eyes.
After a long time, he spoke again.
"According to the agreement, you have to help me finish this matter before I can help you."
The old man seemed to be very determined and not worried that the other party would go back on his word.
Sure enough, the smile on the rickety middle-aged monk's face froze, but he quickly recovered, waved his hand and said casually:
"Why should you be so careful, fellow Taoist? It's just a trivial matter for the Zou family. Besides, I, the Blood Sect monk, am the most honest person."
The words were full of disdain for the Zou family.
"Ah--"
The old man chuckled.
What was laughing was not that the other party underestimated the Zou family, but the so-called "integrity".
These monks.
Is there any integrity at all?
