The first three thousand words of this chapter were posted yesterday, but because many book friends still haven’t seen it, they were merged with the new content into one chapter. I apologize to everyone!
…
Shu Guan and Ao Tian were lying on the top of the rubble-covered peak, breathing heavily.
Ao Tian was tired. A heavy rain like the one just now exhausted all his energy to feed.
Shu Guan is because he fell from such a high altitude. Especially when he was carrying a heavy guy like Ao Tian, but his bones and muscles were broken a lot.
It seems that although my body is tough, it still has its limits.
However, Shuguan's body is not only tough, but also has extremely strong recovery capabilities.
After about a few minutes, all the broken bones and tendons in Shuguan's body were basically recovered.
But Ao Tian beside him had already recovered his condition before him, and had already held his head high.
After all, one of the reasons for Shuguan's strong recovery ability is because he has been bathed in dragon blood. As a true dragon, Ao Tian's recovery ability is only stronger than Shuguan's.
Especially in the past six months, he and the clam girl have been chasing and fighting. In that situation of being extremely oppressed, the recovery ability of his dragon body has naturally been greatly improved.
Shu Guan jumped up from the ground, and Ao Tian leaned his head over, with deep gratitude in his eyes.
Just like in the past years, Shu Guan naturally raised his hand and touched his head. However, compared to the four-legged snake who often slept next to his legs before, Ao Tian's head was already bigger than his own. The body is even bigger.
"Boss Shu, you saved me again!"
Ao Tian cried out with a look of tears of gratitude.
At this time, in Shu Guan's eyes, Ao Tian felt that except that his body was many times bigger, he was no different from the four-legged snake before.
Then just when Shuguan was about to ask Ao Tian why we were being hunted, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound coming from the sky.
He looked up and saw a sword light streaking across the sky.
It was like a fighter jet from a previous life passing through the sky, leaving a long trail of clouds in the sky.
He also saw the red light in front of the sword light.
…Who did this? He should be an immortal...
Shu Guan was silent for a moment, a little happy, but also a little uneasy. Then he said to Ao Tian:
"Let's get out of here first."
Originally, he thought that the practitioners in Jinling could not leave the Spring Palace at this moment, so no one would come to him and Ao Tian.
But at this moment, Shu Guan suddenly felt that it would be better to leave here without being discovered.
"where are we going?"
Ao Tian put his four dragon claws on the ground, raised his head and asked.
"Go to the sea, I can't take your dragon to the city."
Shu Guan said this.
Ao Tian shook his head and said something that surprised Shu Guan.
"It's not impossible."
He said so.
Then Shu Guan saw a scene that stunned him.
I saw that Ao Tian's slender dragon body began to slowly shrink, and the armor-like scales disappeared into the body one after another. The single horn on his head also disappeared from the top of his head, and his appearance changed rapidly.
A few seconds later, a tall young man appeared in front of Shu Guan.
The young man's face cannot be said to be very handsome, but his face has clear lines and deep features, which is full of masculinity. Moreover, Ao Tian also used scales to transform into a leather jacket, which set off his figure with broad shoulders and long legs. Extremely muscular and possessing an indescribable masculine charm.
Shu Guan finally came to his senses and said:
"You're actually able to transform. Didn't you say that it's difficult for you dragon clan to transform? How come you're only a Nascent Soul and can transform?"
"Originally, our dragon clan needs at least the terrestrial fairyland to transform, but it may have something to do with the body refining techniques that my senior brother gave me. Some time ago, I discovered that I can perfectly control my body and transform into a human form."
"Not bad, pretty good. Let's go then."
…
Shu Guan brought Ao Tian back to Teng Yanping's home.
There was no one in the villa, and the ground was in a mess, filled with all kinds of debris.
It can be seen that people here leave in a hurry when they leave.
As Teng Yanping, when the president issued the evacuation order, he would naturally know more information and be able to leave the city before those ordinary civilians. After all, people with cars can always escape faster. go out.
Maybe at this time, Teng Yanping and his family would take refuge in Shencheng.
Although the crisis in Jinling has been completely resolved due to the sword light that streaked across the sky not long ago, Teng Yanping's family may not come back so soon.
Shu Guan started to tidy up a little, then sat on the sofa and said to Ao Tian sitting opposite:
"Okay, let's talk about what kind of trouble you got into in the sea!"
Ao Tian did not tell the story immediately, but first took out a palm-sized green turtle from his arms.
He placed the green-haired turtle on the coffee table in front of the sofa. The green-haired turtle slowly crawled a few steps on the table, then raised its head and looked at Shu Guan curiously.
Shu Guan also looked down at it curiously.
It turned out to be a little turtle in the fetal movement state.
One person stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and looked at each other for a long time.
"He was my childhood playmate, his name is Xiaolu."
Ao Tian made an introduction, and then began to tell what happened in the sea after he and Shu Guan parted ways half a year ago.
Ao Tian did not tell too many details about his escape life. He only talked about how his parents' keels were snatched away by the giant octopus in the deep sea. However, he described the strength of the giant octopus in more detail.
After listening to Ao Tian's story, Shu Guan frowned and thought for a while.
"According to what you just said, that big octopus is much more powerful than that clam girl."
Shu Guan looked up at Ao Tian and said:
"And I heard you said they have another accomplice."
Then Shu Guan turned around and asked the little green turtle:
"That other tiger shark monster, do you know how strong it is?"
The little green turtle's eyes suddenly showed fear and said:
"That tiger shark monster has only visited our ruins of the Crystal Palace once in the past hundred years."
"However, I think it should be the scariest one among the water monsters, because when I stay next to the big octopus, I will be so scared that I dare not move."
"But when I saw the tiger shark monster that time, it just glanced at me, and I felt like I was going to die."
The green-haired little turtle said with lingering fear:
"In addition, when those water monsters were talking, the other water monsters seemed to listen to the tiger shark monster. The tiger shark monster ordered the two octopus monsters to stay in the ruins of the Crystal Palace, and the big octopus did not say what."
The green-haired turtle's words made Shu Guan frown slightly, and then he pondered again and said to Ao Tian:
"Can you wait a moment?"
Ao Tian seemed to have some unwillingness on his face.
"Look, that octopus monster is obviously much stronger than the clam nymph. Although I was able to kill the clam nymph, it was actually a bit of a fluke. But that octopus monster, the two of us combined, is probably not its own. Opponent, not to mention there is a tiger shark demon that may be even more powerful. I even doubt that the tiger shark demon is a great demon from the fairyland. If we encounter it, there is no chance at all."
Shu Guan persuaded patiently.
"But I promise that the waiting time will not be too long, at most half a year. I met Senior Brother a few days ago... I will tell you more about this later... Senior Brother also taught me some fighting tactics. After I have perfected those skills, I should be able to fight that big octopus, and then I will accompany you to take back your parents' dragon bones."
Ao Tian's eyes flashed with pain and struggle. He didn't know it was okay before, but now he knows that his parents' dragon bones are occupied by the big octopus monster. He doesn't know how the big octopus monster will torment his parents' dragon bones every day. It was all torture for him.
But in the end Ao Tian still sighed, nodded and said:
"I listen to you, Boss Shu."
"And I feel like I'm getting close to the realm of land gods, so I'll use half a year to break through to land gods, and then go find the big octopus to settle the score."
"Well, you can come back to Shanghai with me in a few days."
…
Teng Yanping's family only returned home the next night.
They did indeed escape from Jinling City as soon as possible yesterday. As Shu Guan had guessed, they were planning to go to the Rong family in Shencheng to stay temporarily. However, halfway through, they received news that the temperature in Jinling had returned to normal, so they stopped. After waiting anxiously for a long time, the troops from Jinling finally arrived and informed the people who had escaped from Jinling City along the way that they could return. Only then did Teng Yanping's family return to their home in Jinling.
Shu Guan introduced Ao Tian to them, saying that he was his friend from Shanghai and planned to stay in Jinling for a few days.
Teng Yanping naturally said that there was no problem and invited Ao Tian to live in his home.
Three or four days later, Jinling City, which had experienced a huge chaos, finally slowly returned to peace.
Although the warm winter that started a month ago cannot be called a catastrophe, many people in Jinling still died. Some died due to the epidemic in the past few days, and some died due to the sudden rise in temperature in the past few days. Many of the weak people who died died due to various chaotic accidents while escaping from Jinling City.
And the fate of countless people was forever changed by this incident, such as orphans who lost their parents, such as the poor people who had their hands and feet trampled off when escaping from the city and were left with lifelong disabilities, or who were in chaos. Farewell to the thugs and the owners of the small shops that were looted.
In Shuguan's previous life, there was a sentence that could well describe the impact of this incident on ordinary people in Jinling City. That sentence was: A grain of ashes of the times is like a mountain when it falls on an individual's head.
There are many people in Jinling City who have made their already difficult lives even more difficult because of this "mountain".
So it's still a disaster.
And it was a man-made disaster.
There are two main people who caused this disaster. One is Ziyang Zhenren, a practitioner who has lived for five thousand years. However, he himself has died under his own magic weapon, so he deserves what he deserves.
The other person is Song Ziwen, the brother-in-law of the President of the Republic of China, Director of the Finance Department of the Republic of China, and President of the Central Bank.
So far, Song Ziwen is still alive and well. According to his uncle Teng Yanping, Song Ziwen seems to have made a lot of money in the aftermath of the disaster.
Shu Guan felt that this was wrong.
This is also the reason why he still stays in Jinling.
…
Shuguan left Jinling three days later.
On the day he left, another big event happened in Jinling City.
That is, Mr. President ordered that his brother-in-law, Director of the Department of Finance of the Republic of China and President of the Intermediate Bank, Song Ziwen, be executed on charges of corruption and fraud.
There was not even a trial, and it was said that he was executed directly one night in the presidential palace.
This incident shocked the entire Jinling City, and even the entire Republic of China.
Shu Guan was very happy about this.
The reason why I'm happy is because he is the mastermind behind this incident.
With this happy mood, Shu Guan finally returned to Shanghai.
…
"Okay, tell me in detail what happened in Shencheng in the past two months!"
On the first floor of the Zouma Pavilion, Shu Guan was sitting at a long table, pouring tea into the teacup in front of him and saying with a smile.
There are eight teacups in front of him.
Because besides himself, there were seven people sitting at the long table at this time.
Starting from those sitting on his left, they are Ao Tian, Han Biao, Monk Duzhu, Wang Maorong, Wang Runling, Bai Zhiweng, and Qin Sulan. Qin Sulan sits on his right.
Eight people just sat around the entire long table.
"Then let's talk about the Yunu family first!"
Qin Sulan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Because Deng Zongnan should still be in the Western Continent at this time, the person representing Qianmen Eight Futures is Qin Sulan.
As for the reason why Shu Guan summoned so many people, it is because the practitioners around him are not big figures in the Shencheng practice world. They all know something about the storm that has occurred in the Shencheng practice world in the past two months. But there are certainly only a few.
That's why Shu Guan found them all, hoping to piece together the full picture of the matter as much as possible based on what they each knew.
Qin Sulan glanced at Shu Guan, her eyes filled with amorous feelings.
But what she was looking at was not Shu Guan, but Ao Tian who was sitting on the other side of Shu Guan.
She didn't dare to think about Shu Guan.
But Qin Sulan was quite daydreaming about the manly young man sitting next to Shu Guan, who was also a powerful Nascent Soul.
Then Qin Sulan began to tell.
Although Shu Guanren is in Jinling, he still knows a rough idea of what has happened in the Shencheng cultivation world in the past two months.
And this storm was originally caused by him.
The storm kicked off with a movie starring him on the night of the Lantern Festival.
That scene was played again three days later.
Also in the Great Guangming Cinema, Shu Guan directly left the film of that movie in the screening room.
The audience for the second movie was the leaders of the major cultivator forces in Shencheng's spiritual world. The person who invited them to watch the movie was the Shencheng Seven Immortals Alliance.
However, the Alliance of Seven Immortals did not invite anyone from the Tantai family, and only Qingfeng Laodao was in the cinema at that time. .
As for the other disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance, they had already rushed towards Phoenix Villa just before the movie started.
They were led by two immortals who came from the ancestral court of the Seven Immortals Alliance, one from the Taoist sect and the other from the Buddhist sect.
Therefore, the Tantai family, which had dominated the land of southeastern China and had been the leader in Shencheng's cultivation world for three hundred years, was destroyed on this night.
The Seven Immortals Alliance in Shanghai used to be very courteous to the Tantai family. The largest force in the cultivation world in Shanghai seemed to always be the Tantai family.
But this kind of courtesy comes from the restraint of the Seven Immortals Alliance. Once the Seven Immortals Alliance is not prepared to restrain, then they will destroy the Tantai family in one night, and the Seven Immortals Alliance is just two immortals from the ancestral court.
At the same time that the Tantai family was destroyed, the leaders of the major forces in Shencheng's spiritual world who were sitting in the Great Guangming Cinema also knew the reason why the Seven Immortals Alliance took action against the Tantai family.
Qingfeng Laodao appeared after the movie and stated in public that the Seven Immortals Alliance would not embarrass the original affiliated forces of the Tantai Family, but the prerequisite was that these forces did not get involved in the Tantai Family's desire to establish the Tantai Dynasty and collude with the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. Among the things of practitioners.
Then the two-month-long purge of Shencheng's cultivation world, hosted by the Seven Immortals Alliance, began.
Although the Seven Immortals Alliance attacked the Phoenix Villa of the Tantai Family that night and captured most of the important figures of the Tantai Family.
However, it is not a simple matter to eliminate the influence and potential of the Tantai Family in Shanghai for many years.
Therefore, this purge lasted for about two months, and Shu Guan had to avoid the limelight in Jinling City for two months.
However, because the two immortals from the Seven Immortals Alliance were always sitting there, this purge operation did not arouse much backlash.
Until about ten days ago, those cultivators in Shencheng's cultivation world who were deeply involved with the Tantai family, especially those who were involved in the Tantai family's private conspiracies, and even followed the Tantai family's collusion with the practitioners of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, were all After being uprooted and completely eliminated, the two immortals from the Seven Immortals Alliance just left Shen City.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the two immortals from the Seven Immortals Alliance are stationed in Shen City. After the Seven Immortals Alliance's thunderous blow against the Tantai family that night, the entire Shen City cultivation world finally woke up. After so many years, the Seven Immortals Alliance has Just keep it low in Shanghai.
And after that night, who would dare to be disrespectful to the Seven Immortals Alliance again!
"Not to mention those small and medium-sized forces, there were only five cultivator forces that were once the second level in Shencheng. Now, the Blood Demon Sect has been destroyed long ago. In this purge, Jingtao Pavilion was also completely destroyed. No one would have thought beforehand that among all the affiliated forces of the Tantai Family, the one that really involved the Tantai Family the most was the Jingtao Pavilion. The leader of the Jingtao Pavilion, Hu Boping, had secretly helped the Tantai Family eliminate many dissidents, and he also Knowing full well the collusion between the Tantai family and the cultivators from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, the Seven Immortals Alliance naturally showed no mercy and uprooted Jingtao Pavilion."
Qin Sulan narrated.
And these are exactly the details Shu Guan wants to know.
"In addition, Wangyou Villa is gone. Although He Bu Zui did not get involved in the Tantai Family's secret affairs, he was loyal to the Tantai Family. After the Tantai Family was destroyed that night, he was disheartened. Wangyou Villa was disbanded and disappeared since then."
"That's why there are only five second-level cultivator forces left in Shanghai."
"But what people didn't expect is that nothing happened to the Fan family."
"At the beginning, everyone thought that the Fan family would be in bad luck this time, because in the eyes of everyone in the past, the Fan family was the most obedient lackey of the Tantai family, but they did not expect that the Seven Immortals After some investigation by the Alliance, we found that the things secretly planned by the Fan family and the Tantai family really have nothing to do with each other."
"And the Seven Immortals Alliance also promised that as long as they did not follow the Tantai Family to infiltrate the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, all other matters will be forgotten. Therefore, the Fan family's strength was not damaged at all in this storm."
Shu Guan frowned slightly.
That Fan family member actually had nothing wrong with him? This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
The next person to tell the story was Wang Maorong.
"Mr. Shu, the day after the Tantai Family was destroyed by the Seven Immortals Alliance, I went out to find a few old customers of our Runling Hall. Those old customers had a close relationship with the Tantai Family. , I asked them for information."
"What I have learned is that the Seven Immortals Alliance did not go on a killing spree that night when they invaded the Phoenix Villa of the Tantai Family. Except for a few core members of the Tantai Family who knew they would not be spared and resisted, such as the land Outside of Immortal Tantai Mountain, other family members, even direct descendants, as long as they did not resist, the Alliance of Seven Immortals did not kill them, but took those descendants of the Tantai family to some ancestral place and imprisoned them."
When he said this, Wang Maorong paused. A strange and uncertain look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Shu Guan and said slowly:
"I also got a piece of news, but I can't be sure whether it's true or not, and the same goes for the person who told me the news."
"And the news is...it is said that Tantai Jingming did not die that night, nor was he captured by the Seven Immortals Alliance!"
"What!"
I was drinking tea leisurely while listening to Wang Maorong's story about Shuguan, when my body suddenly shook and I exclaimed in surprise.
"are you sure?"
"Mr. Shu, as I said just now, I can't be sure whether this news is true or not. What my old client told me is that after the two immortals from the Seven Immortals Alliance entered the Phoenix Mountain Villa, they went straight to the top of the Phoenix Mountain. Above, the big bluestone is no longer there, and the figure of Tantai Jingming is no longer there.”
"Tantai Jingming seems to have gotten the news earlier and escaped from Phoenix Villa in advance."
"But what is quite strange is that the Seven Immortals Alliance has not made this matter public, so it is impossible to determine whether this matter is true or false."
Listening to Wang Maorong's words, Shu Guan's expression changed uncertainly.
He showed that movie to the people of the Seven Immortals Alliance, with the purpose of using the Seven Immortals Alliance to eradicate the Tantai family. The most important thing was to eradicate Tantai Jingming.
Unexpectedly, Tantai Jingming ran away first.
This can't help but make Shu Guan extremely regretful.
However, he is not worried that one day Tantai Jingming will come to settle accounts with him. Shu Guan believes that Tantai Jingming has now most likely fled to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and sought asylum from the country's cultivation community.
Because Tantai Jingming is an immortal who has liaison with the enemy country, the Seven Immortals Alliance will never tolerate his existence.
If the ordinary immortals who come here cannot find him, then the Seven Immortals will not let him go, and Tantai Jingming will never dare to stay in Dahua again.
Even the Seven Immortals may have come to see him, but since Tantai Jingming was not announced to be executed, then Tantai Jingming must have gone to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
This is Shu Guan's speculation.
Then he looked at Paper Old Man to see what else this little old man knew.
"The little old man is of low strength, and he usually comes into contact with people of similar strength. In the past two months, he has basically been hiding at home, for fear of being affected by Chi Yu, so he didn't listen to the news about the destruction of the Tantai family. Someone else said it.”
"However, there is another thing that I want to tell Mr. Shu. It is that the paper figures that Mr. Shu ordered me to place in the Kingdom of the Rising Sun suddenly lost contact with me at the same time a few days ago... …”
Paper Old Man said cautiously.
Shu Guan was startled for a moment, but he soon came to his senses.
It seems that there should be new practitioners coming to Shen City from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
The past few days happened to be the moment when the storm caused by the collapse of the Tantai family in the Shencheng cultivation world finally subsided.
Is it a coincidence that the Kingdom of the Rising Sun has sent practitioners to Shen City at this time? Or has another purpose?
So Shu Guan frowned again.
It seems that I have to find time to clean up the consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in the past few days.
Then he looked at Monk Duzhu.
Monk Duzhu quickly put his palms together and said:
"The young monk and his disciples have not left the temple for two months."
Shu Dian nodded, expressing understanding.
Because he knew that the Xinxiang Temple lineage seemed to have some problems with the Buddhist sect of the Seven Immortals Sect.
In the past two months, a Buddhist monk who was in the Immortal Realm was stationed in Shencheng, and it was really inconvenient for Master Duzhu and his disciples to show up.
Then Shu Guan's eyes swept around the faces of the people at the table, and he laughed:
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"If not, then I'll treat you all to a meal today, and I'll cook it myself later. Don't worry, my skills will never be worse than those of the chefs in the big restaurants on Dahe Road."
"Although the New Year has already passed, everyone can still get together."
At this time, Qin Sulan said again:
"By the way, last month I received a transoceanic telegram from Senior Brother Zheng. He said something in the telegram."
"That's what he heard in the Western Continent. A month ago, the cultivators of the Tian'en Church, the Temple of War, and the Magicians Association in the Western Continent jointly selected several powerful land-level gods to come to Dahua. , the destination is Shencheng, it seems that they are here to investigate the matter of those Western Continent practitioners who died in the Golden Oak Restaurant."
"Calculating the time, those practitioners from the Western Continent should be arriving in Shencheng in the next few days."
Shu Guan suddenly smiled bitterly again.
Although the Tantai family has collapsed, there are still a lot of troubles that I will face next!
He went to Jinling to hide for two months. After he came back, the spiritual world in Shencheng had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From now on, he will face a brand new world of spiritual practice in Shencheng!

Except when it was put on the shelves, I have never asked for a subscription. I have always felt that there is no need to force this kind of thing, and everyone can just look at their own specific circumstances.
But now I'm asking for a subscription.
The plot of Jinling City should have been tens of thousands of words long. It was the climax of Shu Guan’s trip to Jinling. At the beginning of the plot of Jinling, Shu Guan was just planning to let Jinling get to know him briefly, but in the end he let Jinling know him briefly. Really get to know yourself, including the Jinling Seven Immortals Alliance.
It's a pity that I can't write it down. It doesn't even have anything to do with historical events, just because it involves a certain key historical figure.
The rhythm and framework of this book have been broken again and again since it was about a million words long. Originally, I put a lot of effort into the volume "Orchid Grass" and I had great confidence that I could write it brilliantly. However, Up to now, I can't even answer the questions, because the plot has been changed again and again, and the emotions that are advancing layer by layer can only be interrupted.
Many of the plots were improvised and improvised, and I was quite dissatisfied with the quality.
The most important thing is that there is no breath in my chest, and there is no passion in my writing, because I cannot write what I want to write most... This is already my third book about the Republic of China.
I had a chat with my editor yesterday, and his suggestion was that I start a new book, and I agreed.
But then I thought about it late at night, and I always like to do things from beginning to end. The two books written by the previous eunuch were not due to personal reasons.
So I still have to write this book.
Although there is no line between home and country, this book still has many other wonderful stories to tell.
And after what happened yesterday, I have regained the original passion and energy in my heart.
I want to write better.
It’s just that this requires everyone’s support. Please support Siliu with subscriptions and votes!
