Chapter 18: Lady Wang and the Bohai Rebellion
As expected, after the three-day vigil, the sect's Internal Affairs Department sent people to take back the cultivation residence that the Pill King enjoyed during his lifetime. It was also the most blessed place for cultivation in the entire Piao Miao Sect, second only to the Cave Heaven.
Helplessly, Xiao Jingsheng had to move his family to the relatively simple Xuanlu residence.
What practitioners call caves is actually a general term for places where they practice.
Usually, from high to low, they are divided into six categories: Cave Heaven - Blessed Land - True Palace - Qifu Gate - Xuanlu - Jingshe.
The attic where Xiao Jingsheng lived before was just the lowest level of a retreat, usually used to inspire some disciples from the outer sect to break through to the state of concentration and ascend to the upper sect.
Of course, Xiao Jingsheng was an exception. He used his superb painting skills to get in through the back door!
Because Xiao Jingsheng was appreciated by the King of Pills, he was personally granted a hermitage close to the foot of Ziyun Peak, where he could absorb the meager spiritual power emanating from the formation on a daily basis.
Now that he has been promoted to deacon, he has been assigned a mysterious hut with four rooms and a living room on the hillside of Ziyun Peak. He can absorb the spiritual power from the formation day by day. Although it will be divided up by other deacons, it is far more than before. Even if he does not practice, living here for a long time can prolong his life.
But after getting used to living in the Dan King’s Mansion these past few days, this small goal that most ordinary disciples used to strive for has become a little boring.
"Ning Lang! Who hurt you so badly?!!!"
Just as the group reached the entrance to the mountainside, a wailing sound attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Jingsheng and his companions looked carefully and saw a man's legs severed at the thighs on a stretcher carried by several disciples who looked like strong men. The wounds were wrapped in circles of gauze and covered in bloodstains, and his face was pale.
At his side, a beautiful woman rushed forward, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling as she stroked the bloodstained area, her lips trembling constantly.
[Oh~ Such a terrible injury. As soon as I saw her condition, I knew she would not be able to survive in the future. How dare you let your crotch get cold and hurt the beauty? Looking at her weak and helpless appearance, you can't help but come up with a plan! ]
What a plan you have!
You bastard!
At the same time, several familiar faces soon came out from their respective pavilions and began to whisper to each other.
Because the few of them did not deliberately suppress the sound, and the little witch body enhanced Xiao Jingsheng's vision and hearing, making him sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, he could hear everything clearly from a distance.
"Tsk tsk, I said that the Bohai Sea coast is not a good place to go. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. Deacon Ning's cultivation is not bad. He has reached the late stage of foundation building, but he ended up like this."
"Who says it's not true? In the past, we had the Pill King's protection, and even if the sect ordered us to do so, we only needed to provide the sect's team with enough pills before they set off. Now that the Pill King has passed away, we all prosper together and suffer together, but we can only be forcibly recruited to the front line by the sect. Who knows, one day it may be my turn."
"Deacon Ning has saved his life, but his current behavior is inhumane. It's a pity for Miss Wang, who is so young and beautiful, but has to be a widow."
"Tsk, are you feeling sorry for me? You are clearly coveting Madam Wang's body."
"Aren't you greedy?"
Then several people gathered together, showing an expression that everyone understood. From one person laughing, it turned into a group of people laughing~
Hearing the unbearable voices from the people around her, Madam Wang felt ashamed and angry, but now her husband was seriously injured and no one could stand up for her, so she had to endure it.
The Deacon Ning mentioned by everyone also had his eyes closed. Although he was shaking with anger, he did not utter a word.
The situation is stronger than us, so we have to bow our heads.
At this moment, a figure quickly passed by the crowd of busybodies. The tall figure blocked the view ahead and said, "This is the muscle-growing and hemostatic pill. Give it to Senior Brother Ning quickly."
Madam Wang was startled, and quickly took the pill with gratitude: "On behalf of Ning Lang, I would like to thank Junior Brother for his kindness."
Deacon Ning also opened his eyes. When he saw the man's face clearly, his tiger eyes were filled with tears. "I didn't want to see Junior Brother Xiao again after our last separation. I am already in such a mess. I made a fool of myself by letting you see me."
Xiao Jingsheng also sighed: "Alas, fate is playing tricks on me. In the past, I have been taken care of by Senior Brother Ning many times, but I never thought that I could not repay him, and Senior Brother suffered such a cruel hand. I am ashamed!"
Before the Dan King was alive, Xiao Jingsheng was a popular figure among the people. Even among the deacons, there were many people who fawned on him, hoping that he could say a few good words for him. Deacon Ning Yuanning was one of them. In the beginning, he had given him a lot of convenience and exempted him from many chores. Although he knew that the other party had ulterior motives, Xiao Jingsheng still remembered the favor.
Seeing that the two wanted to reminisce about the past, Madam Wang hurriedly reminded them, "Ninglang, take the muscle-growing and blood-stopping pills first, be careful not to delay your recovery."
Ning Yuan did not suspect anything and directly swallowed the pill and started to meditate on the spot. However, since he had no support for his lower body, he had to rely on Madam Wang to support him throughout the whole process.
This is the heart of Ziyun Peak in the Dan Palace. Killing one's fellow disciples is a serious crime. Even if someone wanted to harm him, they wouldn't be so foolish in front of everyone.
As Xiao Jingsheng and his companions arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on them, especially on Xia Zhixuan, whose greed and jealousy were not concealed at all.
"Women are truly the most vicious. The seventh day after the death of the Dan King has not even passed, and this woman is already eager to embrace another man. I'm afraid the Dan King's death is related to these two people, and she must have been pregnant long ago."
"Ah! When I think of this lady's hot body being pressed down by that boy, I feel so uncomfortable that I have no intention of refining the elixir."
"He is now rising to the sky by stepping on the corpse of the Pill King. Not only has he taken in Madam Xia, but he is also on equal footing with us. Such a skill is not something that ordinary people can do. He is definitely not an ordinary person."
Although the voices of the few people were not loud, they chatted without restraint.
When Xia Zhixuan heard these words, she blushed immediately.
In response, Xiao Jingsheng waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary to pay attention.
As a fellow Dan Palace member, he naturally knew that these pampered medicine bottles who usually lived a life of luxury loved to talk big, and he was too lazy to care about them.
If you can't eat the grapes, they are just sour!
After a while, Ning Yuan's complexion gradually improved, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The couple was about to thank Xiao Jingsheng, but he stopped them with his hand.
Xiao Jingsheng first glanced around, then pointed to the Xuanlu where he was assigned and said, "There are too many people here to talk, so it's inconvenient to talk. Please invite Sister-in-law and Senior Brother Ning to come in and have a chat."
Ning Yuan and Wang Niang looked at each other and thought it made sense, so they bowed and said, "Sorry to bother you then."
Upon seeing this, some deacons who originally wanted to inquire about the situation of the monster plague in Bohai had to disperse. However, Ning Yuan's fate was like a signal, casting a shadow over many people's hearts, as if telling those people in the Dan Palace that their situation would change in the future.
