He Changsheng had no choice but to explain, "There's no place safer than here, and with a peaceful mind, you won't be afraid of any worldly disturbances. Sister Bai, don't worry too much."
Bai Miaoyin was very unconvinced and asked, "But is your heart calm?"
He Changsheng said confidently: "Of course it's quiet. Look at my room. Apart from a foot-washing maid, there is no one else."
Bai Miaoyin glanced at him and said, "But when I came here a few days ago, I always saw singing girls visiting your room."
He Changsheng refused to admit it and said, "That was entirely their own decision. I'm not at Wangyue Tower, so what's the point of them coming here?"
"I guess I can't convince you, but I will come here often in the future. You won't unwelcome me, right?" Bai Miaoyin suddenly looked at He Changsheng with a smile.
The corner of He Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I'm about to go into seclusion to practice. Sister Bai, you should come back in a few years."
"Then I will watch you practice, and you don't have to pay attention to me." Bai Miaoyin snorted lightly, looking like an older sister who understands you.
He Changsheng: “…”
Since he has already made up his mind, why ask him what to do?
Let’s leave this matter aside for now.
He Changsheng has always been puzzled by one thing: he is the only heretic in the entire Xiaohe Village.
He had heard that his original body's parents were missing, and then he stayed in Xiaohe Village.
But He Changsheng didn't believe this. Things were not as simple as they seemed. Given Chen Li's character, he would definitely not allow anyone outside the plan to stay in Xiaohe Village.
Bai Miaoyin was silent for a moment. She was actually very conflicted.
But he finally explained, "Your parents are actually defectors from Xiaohe Village. They originally said they would share hardships with us and wait for an opportunity to destroy the Dragon King Palace, but they suddenly changed their minds. Although I don't know what they were thinking, I think they must have ulterior motives, otherwise the village chief would not have killed them. Seeing that you were young, the village chief couldn't bear to kill them, which is why what happened later happened."
After saying that, Bai Miaoyin looked at He Changsheng with some worry, fearing that he would do something bad.
She didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, but she believed that He Changsheng was not a reckless and unreasonable person.
He Changsheng didn't feel any ripples in his heart when he heard this. He even felt that the other party's death was just right. Otherwise, if he were to be reborn, not to mention the many troubles he would inevitably encounter, the mere fact of calling them his adoptive parents would make him feel resistant.
He now finally understood why this old man Chen Li had always had a prejudice against him. It turned out that the root of everything was here.
Although He Changsheng understood what the other party did, it was the other party's fault when it happened to him.
......
The next morning, Bai Miaoyin left quietly. He Changsheng felt the empty space beside him, turned over, and prepared to start practicing the soul-searching method.
As for what he needed Bai Miaoyin to do, he was not in a hurry to tell her now, so he would talk about it in a few years.
However, he caught a glimpse of Luo Jia standing motionless at the head of the bed with his eyes still dull.
He Changsheng couldn't help but smile...he almost forgot about her.
In an instant, He Changsheng released the restraints on Luo Jia.
Luo Jia felt aggrieved and was about to cry.
He Changsheng was most annoyed by this and immediately shouted, "Don't cry, hold it in!"
Luo Jia was secretly complaining in his heart, what a hateful old devil!
He Changsheng began to practice the soul-searching technique. He still had many years to do nothing, and he couldn't just listen to music all the time.
......
At this moment in Cangwu City, the reputation of the River God Temple became even more famous because of Shi Chengzhi's promotion. Even many monks became interested in it and became enthusiastic about the River God.
As the city lord, Shi Chengzhi has reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation. With the help of the river god, he will be able to break through in a few days.
Why can't they?
In short, this incident has pushed the existence of the river god to a whole new level.
Even the nearby mountain temple benefited from it.
The River God Temple is crowded every day. Many people who can't squeeze in have to settle for the next best thing and go to Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing also imitated the river god's method and began to appear from time to time to recruit believers. However, he was limited by his strength and did not dare to show off too much. Otherwise, if someone with stronger cultivation than him came, wouldn't he be at risk of being exposed?
What's more, some people believe in two gods at the same time.
In their opinion, the probability of being favored by the gods would be greater.
The river god and Yuan Jing were completely unaware of this, and even if they knew, they wouldn't have any idea. They were so greedy and had no sincerity, so it was wishful thinking for them to want their wishes to be fulfilled.

In the River God Temple.
Chen Li found the River God and first congratulated him on his improvement in cultivation. He couldn't help but sigh, "Senior's incense and cultivation are indeed well-deserved. It's only been a little over a month, and you've already achieved a breakthrough in cultivation."
This time, killing the Dragon King will be as easy as a rock.
He has now dispelled about 70% to 80% of his doubts. The River God definitely has nothing to do with the Dragon King. Otherwise, with the Dragon King's strength, why would he go so far to seek help from others? He could easily improve his cultivation by directly using the method of incense.
What the River God has obtained now is only the land of Cangwu City. If he really obtained 99% of the incense in the world, the speed of improving his cultivation would be unimaginable.
The River God was in a complicated mood. He also wanted to break through in his cultivation, but unfortunately, he was not the one to make the breakthrough this time.
"I think you came to me this time not just to say these compliments, right?"
Chen Li stroked his hair and beard, chuckled, and said, "You are right, Daoist friend. I came here this time because I do have something important to discuss."
The river god expressed his desire to hear more details.
Chen Li sighed and explained, "The method of restraining the Dragon King is actually not as simple as it appears. To fully unleash it, it will take at least several years. As everyone knows, the Dragon King will send the Dragon King Order to a chosen person every once in a while. On the surface, it's an invitation to join the immortal path. If you don't obey, you will die. But in reality, the Dragon King only wants to devour the chosen person's blood and energy."
The River God suddenly understood something and said, "Could it be that the method of restraint you mentioned starts with this matter?"
Chen Li nodded. "Indeed, I have been preparing for this matter for decades. Now everything is ready, just waiting for your order. During this period of time, I think it will be enough for you to practice."
In his opinion, the River God did not need to improve his cultivation too much. At this rate of practice, he would be able to break through to a higher realm in a few years.
The River God frowned slightly and said truthfully, "Don't rush this matter. The Dragon King's strength is far more than you imagine. This breakthrough was just a natural progression. The next breakthrough won't be so easy. Besides, I still have two key secret techniques that I need to practice."
