Tiejiang Chen lay on the ground and kept vomiting blood. He struggled frantically to stand up, but failed.
"Fengfeng..."
A trembling whine came from his throat, and his eyes were fixed on his daughter's back. The familiar feeling of despair in his heart made him feel as if he had returned to the dock where he was chased by the fish demon in the heavy rain many years ago.
At this moment, how much he hoped that this time he could fall asleep as he did before, and when he woke up again, everything would be safe.
However, it was too late.
Fengfeng has...
Chen Tiejiang thought about this and suddenly saw Fengfeng break away from the feminine young man's hand and retreat flexibly.
Tiejiang Chen was stunned. Before he could ask a question, he saw the straight arm of the feminine young man hanging down softly.
It turns out that the one that made the "clicking" sound just now was not Fengfeng, but the monk's wrist?
Tiejiang Chen felt even more confused when he had this idea in his mind.
what happened?
Fengfeng rubbed her neck, which was red from being stuck, and looked at the feminine young man in shock, panting slightly.
She didn't know what happened just now, but she suddenly felt her heart heat up, and the other person's hand immediately let go.
She subconsciously touched her heart and pulled out a jade pendant.
Is this... the statue of Shen Ji that my father gave me?
Fengfeng was stunned, and an idea that even she found ridiculous came to her mind. .
Shen Ji, has a spirit appeared?
"He Fangxiao, you dare to ruin my good deeds, why don't you show up and see me?"
The effeminate young man suddenly shouted loudly, and his words had an air of stern sexual intercourse.
Fengfeng, who was deep in thought, was frightened and subconsciously took two steps back.
As she stepped back, there was a warm palm, accompanied by strands of white hair, gently falling on her shoulder.
"Fengfeng, don't be afraid."
The gentle and clear voice rang in her ears. Fengfeng sounded familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
She looked back and saw a strange woman with white hair and red eyes.
She was slightly startled, and then the more she looked at the woman, the more familiar she felt.
Suddenly, she remembered the first time she met Xiang Shu as a child, and her eyes suddenly widened.
The person in front of her looks almost exactly like her except for her hair and eyes!
And the voice...
"Aunt Shu?" Fengfeng said in a difficult tone.
Xiang Shen pursed his lips and said, "It's me."
Fengfeng's eyes showed disbelief, "Are you an immortal?!"
Xiang Shu nodded slightly.
Fengfeng was completely stunned. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Aunt Shen in front of her, her emotions surged, and she felt at a loss as to what to do.
In the memories of the nineteen years of getting along day and night, Aunt Shu's smile is so real.
She could never connect the so approachable and easy-going Aunt Shu with the aloof immortal.
But apart from Aunt Chu, she couldn't think of any other reason for the immortal to save her.
Shen Ji's appearance is just... no, that's not right!
Aunt Shu's name... Xiang Shu!
Aunt Shu is Ji Ji? !
Fengfeng figured this out and immediately fell into even greater shock.
The little girl couldn't come back to her senses in a short time, so Xiang Shu was not in a hurry to wake her up and waved his sleeves over Chen Tiejiang.
Tiejiang Chen's broken legs regenerated instantly. He quickly got up and walked carefully to Xiang Shen, his face full of awe.
"Thank you, Immortal, for coming to the rescue."
There is a difference between immortals and mortals.
Xiang Shu had already expected Chen Tiejiang's change, but when he actually saw it, he still sighed: "It doesn't matter."
She waved her sleeve again, and the city lord's right arm automatically connected. The injuries of the rest of the people on the field also improved instantly, and they all knelt down to express their gratitude.
Xiang Shen frowned slightly, she didn't like this scene.
But now the deity who stayed in Dongzhou has become the god of incense and fire.
Worshiping is like a common meal, so I accept it calmly.
"Senior, this person threatened to massacre tens of thousands of people in my Du Shui City if he failed to seize the treasure!"
The city lord came over, pointed at the feminine young man who had been frozen in place since Xiang Shen appeared, and said, "Senior, please make the decision for us!"
Xiang Shen's eyes turned and landed on the feminine young man.
The feminine young man felt his whole body relax and resumed movement.
The period of confinement just now had made him fully aware of the cultivation level of the two.
He couldn't bring up the idea of escaping at all, so he simply bent his knees, knelt down and cried loudly: "Senior! The villain is wronged. The villain came here just to steal the magic weapon from the hands of the city lord, but he has never massacred the city. Thoughts!"
Xiang Shen's eyes were indifferent and he said calmly: "As a cultivator, I am involved in worldly causes and effects and should be punished."
The face of the feminine young man stiffened, "What do you mean by these words, senior? Mortals are nothing more than lowly grass worms! To punish fellow juniors for these grass worms, you are so confused!"
"You said they are grass insects?"
Xiang Shenran chuckled: "In my eyes, you are the one."
As soon as these words came out, the feminine young man immediately panicked, "Senior! I hope you will succeed with a smile..."
Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and robe lightly, and countless incense poured out, penetrated into the seven orifices of the feminine young man, and spread into the internal organs.
The pain of suffocation swept over him in an instant. The feminine young man twitched all over, and made a pitiful sound of "ho ho" from his mouth, and soon lost his voice.
As soon as the man died, the city lord breathed a long sigh of relief and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, senior, for your generous help."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiang Shen raised his eyes slightly and said, "Since I accept the incense, I will protect the secular world from being disturbed by monks."
The city lord was startled when he heard this, "My God?"
Not a monk...a god?
"Blacksmith Chen Wu."
Xiang Shen turned his eyes and whispered, "In the past, your Chen family fathers used a sword manual in exchange for this god's promise to protect the descendants of your family.
Twenty years ago, I saved your life and made a promise to you through the sword manual. You are now clean. Do you accept it? "
Tiejiang Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this. Was it no coincidence that he survived being bitten by a fish demon twenty years ago?
It turns out that the person grandpa gave the sword manual to was not Li Changting, but... Empress Shi Ji!
Grandpa used a sword manual to get a god to live in seclusion beside them for twenty years? !
"Blacksmith Chen Wu, do you agree?"
Hearing the question again, Tiejiang Chen came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
He remembered many things from the past, including Fengfeng's serious illness suddenly getting better, Sister Wang once going into the mountains to kill pigs and being in danger, and she saved the day...
Among all this, I'm afraid Empress Shen Ji was secretly resolving it. Her kindness had long been greater than her promise, so what else could he deny?
Fengfeng listened to the conversation between her father and Aunt Shu, but she didn't have the slightest hint of her father's surprise and caution. She looked at Xiang Shu silently, with complicated eyes.
Xiang Shen sensed the gaze and turned to see Feng Feng with a disappointed face. He couldn't help but smile and raised his hand to rub the top of the little girl's head.
Fengfeng's eyes were hot, and she held her breath and said, "Aunt Chu, are you leaving?"
Xiang Shen nodded gently and said calmly: "I have stayed on the path of cultivation for too long. It's time to move on."
Fengfeng held Xiang Shu's hand tightly, "Then will Aunt Shu still remember me in the future?"
Xiang Shu smiled sweetly and said, "Of course."
"Well."
Fengfeng let go of Xiang Shu's hand readily, stared at Xiang Shu for a moment, and said seriously: "Aunt Shu, have a nice trip."
Xiang Shen was slightly surprised, and then he seemed to have thought of something. His fingertips touched the center of Fengfeng's eyebrows, leaving a wisp of spiritual thoughts. Then he turned around, and his figure instantly turned into starlight and disappeared.
Fengfeng stared blankly at the scattered stars, tears finally overflowing from her eyes.
Tiejiang Chen looked at it and sighed softly, "Fengfeng, there is a gap between immortals and mortals. It is a great blessing that Empress Shen Ji can marry us now. We must not ask for more."
Fengfeng wiped away her tears and was about to say something else.
Well, suddenly I felt a vibration on the ground.
The people who were repairing the city gate immediately panicked.
"what happened?"
"Is there another demon cultivator here?"
"Calm down, everyone!"
The city lord shouted softly, suppressed the noisy sound, and concentrated on sensing for a moment. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "The source is in the north of the city, which is Shenji Temple. It must be Empress Shenji who did something. Let's go and have a look!"
When Fengfeng heard this, she picked up the knife and hurried to the north of the city without saying a word.
At the same time, the same scene was playing out in places where secular people gathered all over Dongzhou.
"The temple was shaken, and Ji Ji appeared!"
"Go and pay your respects!"
The power of the incense surging everywhere gathered from the sky above the temple, and along the illusory incense lines, condensed into a huge statue that occupied the entire sky.
The Dharma's appearance was solemn, his eyes were lowered, and the incense formed thousands of talismans and spread out with his hands. Following the line of cause and effect of the incense, it accurately landed on the heads of all the monks who had committed murders, making them unable to move and could only Terrified and begging for mercy.
"Practice evil and worldly mortals will harm the way of heaven. Today, this god will kill tens of thousands of monks to set the record straight.
From then on, the secular world of Dongzhou was not allowed to be disturbed by monks. Anyone who violated this rule would be driven to pieces! "
The moment the brilliant sound fell, the corpses of countless demon cultivators were instantly separated, and blood splattered in the air.
The resentment that had grown up over the past twenty years was all gone.
The Dharma has faded away, and the sky is clear and the air is clear.
From then on, the fear of facing the gods was engraved in the hearts of every Dongzhou monk, and no one dared to set foot in the secular world again.
The secular world quickly returned to its former peace. Although wars still occurred, they were nothing compared to before.
"Use the incense as a guide to create miracles and establish a new order."
Jianfeng's emotion echoed in Xiang Shen Erchai, "Fellow Taoist Xiang, this method is wonderful, I am ashamed of myself!"
"Senior is so complimentary."
Xiang Shen walked in the mountains and responded with a chuckle: "However, if we use resources rationally, resentment often breeds in the center of the earth, which also bothers me."
"Haha, you don't have to be humble to fellow Taoist."
Jianfeng laughed and said, "Speaking of which, my fellow Taoist clone has been trained. The matter in the East Continent has been settled. I wonder when are you going to go to the West Continent?"
"There is still one unfinished matter."
Xiang Yu's steps quickened slightly. "This is the reason why I forcibly awakened my senior."
"oh?"
Jianfeng perked up a little, "Why are you so interested in it? I want to take a closer look."
Not long after, Xiang Shu stopped on the edge of a cliff, squinting slightly and looking down.
This is the place where she fell after escaping from the Blazing Flame Sect more than a hundred years ago.
"Senior, please also mobilize some of the Heavenly Dao and let me sense it carefully."
After speaking to Shu, he stepped out of the cliff without saying a word and fell straight into the mountain.
