The flying boat penetrates the sunset and ripples on the Tianhe River. The moonlight is as bright as snow, and the starlight is reflected in the wine glasses of passers-by.
Jiang Xinghe leaned back in the spirit boat, shaking the wine bowl gently in his hand, scattering a round of ice moon and a few stars. His eyes showed the hearty drunken joy, satisfaction and pleasure.
After being stopped by three people during the day, Jiang Xinghe inadvertently said that he was going to Feiyun Valley for a banquet. Unexpectedly, the three of them were stunned.
Under the questioning of the three people, Jiang Xinghe had no choice but to reveal his identity as Baoyuan Guan Incense Division, and then they let out a long sigh and revealed their origins at the same time.
It turns out that these three people also came from the Xianghuo Temple in Feiyun Valley. The Taoist temple is called Diancang Temple. The burly and strong man is Zhang Zhitian, the Dian Cang Guan Incense Secretary, whose cultivation level is at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. The young boy is his only heir named Zhang Bin, and the young Taoist boy dressed as his disciple Kang Hong.
According to Zhang Zhitian, in addition to the three of them practicing Taoism in Diancang Temple, there are also more than a dozen lay disciples practicing in the Taoist temple. The three of them rarely show up on weekdays and spend most of their time practicing Qi.
This made Jiang Xinghe extremely envious, but after immediately asking about Dian Cangguan's consumption, Jiang Xinghe suddenly felt that it was quite good to have enough food for one person and not make the whole family hungry!
The three people at Dian Cang Guan had also heard of Jiang Xinghe's name a long time ago because he succeeded Chen Daoren as a mortal and became the new master of Baoyuan Guan.
Although this kind of incident has been heard a little before, it is all a situation where the father dies and the son succeeds in the family of cultivating immortals. Moreover, for this incense temple that is inherited from the same line, the monastic salary of the mortal incense department is still controlled by the family, and the name of the temple owner is just a person. It's just a cover.
Therefore, Jiang Xinghe's appearance is particularly unique!
The destination of the three of them this time was the same as Jiang Xinghe's, they were all going to the Feiyun Valley Spring Festival Banquet.
"Zhang Guanzhu, you just said that the inspectors from all places will lead all the incense departments in their territory to attend the banquet together. Why are you attending the meeting alone this time?" Jiang Xinghe said with blurred eyes and erratic gaze.
"Haha, little brother, I don't know... Gu Nei stipulates that no more than two people from each Incense Temple can go to the banquet to observe the ceremony, but I got an inside secret. There will be a great opportunity at this spring banquet. So I asked the old man in Gu Nei Friend, please help me and allow me to take my apprentice and dog there, maybe I can try my luck."
Zhang Zhitian was as drunk as Jiang Xinghe, but he still spoke clearly. It's just that Jiang Xinghe seriously doubts the authenticity of this top-secret information. Otherwise, if it was revealed in just a few glasses of spiritual wine, it wouldn't be considered top-secret!
"This delayed some time, and the inspector and the others had already set off first." Zhang Zhitian added.
"Master Jiang, why are you alone? Going to Ningbeifang City to board the spirit boat is simply... unheard of." Kang Hong controlled the spirit boat from the front and looked back at the drunken Jiang Xinghe. .
Jiang Xinghe smiled slightly, knowing that what Kang Hong wanted to say just now was that as a dignified incense master, he did not have his own flying magic weapon but instead ran like a beast in the snow, which was extremely embarrassing.
But he didn't care about this. Chen Daoren had left enough for him. He gave himself two complete new lives, which was more precious than any magic weapon or spirit stone!
"It's a long story...haha..." Jiang Xinghe burped and continued: "Inspector Zhuo is repairing Baoyuan Temple for me. He doesn't have time to take us to the banquet."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the spirit boat at first, and then bursts of laughter. Even the sleepy Zhang Bin rubbed his groggy eyes and said, "Brother Jiang is bragging again..."
When they first got acquainted, the three of them asked Jiang Xinghe how he awakened his spirituality from a mortal body and how he became the master of a Taoist temple. Jiang Xinghe inevitably added fuel to the fire and told a bizarre story about his story. So everyone thought his words were a drunken joke.
But after everyone laughed a few times, and saw Jiang Xinghe's clear eyes and smiling face, with a serious look on his face, the expressions on the three people's faces became unpredictable and wonderful.
"Master Jiang, although it's hard to imagine...but I have to tell you, this is not a good thing." Kang Hong said extremely seriously: "There are rumors from the outside that Inspector Zhuo has always had concerns about Baoyuan Temple..."
Zhang Zhitian's slight cough interrupted Kang Hong's words, but after he frowned for a moment, he took the initiative and said: "Master Jiang, most of the Incense Temples under Inspector Zhuo are already controlled by the Zhuo family..."
Zhuo family? Could it be the kind of immortal cultivating family mentioned just now?
Jiang Xinghe's drunkenness dissipated immediately, and he suddenly realized a lot in his heart. All the things he had encountered since entering the temple emerged from his mind.
After he bowed his hands and saluted, he said, "Thank you so much, Master Zhang Guan."
It’s hard to say why I thank you.
Zhang Zhitian raised his glass, paused for a moment in the air, drank it down, and then said: "Hong'er, come here and have a rest. For the time being, you can pilot the flying boat as your master."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a violent gasp coming from Zhang Bin's mouth, and then his whole body twitched like a lightning strike, his hands and feet swayed unconsciously, and his body curled up.
"Bin'er..." Zhang Zhitian growled, his eyes widening in an instant. He picked up Zhang Bin's twitching body, and the majestic spiritual power slowly but firmly transferred from his body into the body of the thin child.
Anxiety also appeared on Kang Hong's face. The spirit boat he was driving landed almost straight down and stopped on a grassy field in a moment.
Kang Hong was seen taking out a few materials from the storage bag, and within a moment he had set up an extremely simple spirit gathering formation. He was obviously extremely skilled.
He took out several spiritual stones of different sizes and qualities from his storage bag and placed them in key locations of the spirit gathering array.
White light rose up, and the spiritual power in the spiritual stone was continuously extracted and transferred to Zhang Bin's body. His whole body was like a sparkling treasure.
Although Jiang Xinghe didn't know what happened, he couldn't think about it anymore. He put the only two middle-grade spirit stones on hand into the spirit gathering array, and the light was as bright as day.
After half a stick of incense, Zhang Bin fell asleep quietly, with an expression of great pain still on his face.
Kang Hong put away the two middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Jiang Xinghe. Jiang Xinghe waved his hand and said, "Please use them as my traveling expenses for this spiritual boat trip."
With Zhang Zhitian's nod of acquiescence, Kang Hong carefully put it into the storage bag. The ground was full of spiritual stone fragments. When the wind blows, it raises pieces like dry white snowflakes.
"Master Jiang, I'm sorry...Bin'er's illness requires a lot of spiritual stones...The kindness I owe you today will be repaid in the future." Zhang Zhitian's voice was helpless and no longer as bold and open-minded as he had been drinking.
