Chapter 154: Changes in Qingyang City
Pei Huoyu's voice fell.
The wives and concubines all bowed with joy and said, "Congratulations to our husband for his breakthrough!"
Shen Ping strode forward.
Soon he disappeared into the hall with his wives and concubines.
Listening to the moving melody faintly coming from the wooden window, Pei Huoyu was speechless.
Taoist couple practicing together.
Although she didn't yearn for it, she could understand it.
After all, the joy of love can sometimes really relieve the boredom of spiritual practice.
However, this was the first time she had encountered a cultivator like Shen Ping who worked hard day and night. Even those cultivators in the Moon Lotus Holy Sect who were good at studying this art did not do so frequently.
suddenly.
The melody became more exciting.
There was a faint sound of crying in the voice.
Pei Huoyu's heart was actually stirred when she heard those unbearable words. She hummed softly, suppressed her Jindan state of mind, and then stepped into the quiet room.
…
August.
The Maple Mountains are ablaze with red.
It is the best time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
In previous years, many monks would come here to enjoy the scenery at this time, but this year there was not a single monk.
The chaos in the surrounding markets intensified, with demonic cultivators wreaking havoc everywhere, and all kinds of independent cultivators acting as robber cultivators taking advantage of the situation. Almost every day, one could see light of escape crossing Qingyang Lake and escaping into the city. Faced with this situation, the cultivators in Qingyang City had no time to spare.
This day.
While eating breakfast, Yu Yan said, "There are too many independent cultivators in South City recently. Thirty percent of them have no houses to rent, so they can only find a place on the side of the street to build a simple shed to live in. Some independent cultivators who often buy items in our shop even asked me if I could open the shop at night so that they can stay for a while."
Shen Ping couldn't help but ask, "Has the situation come to this point now?"
Bai Yuying said hurriedly with a stern face, "Husband, you didn't go to South City. So many monks crowded the streets and dared not leave the city."
"Even so, the Danxia Sect and the Hehuan Sect come here every day to collect rent from these monks on the street!"
Shen Ping frowned, and couldn't help but think of what Zeng the matchmaker had said again. Regardless of whether the Jinyang Patriarch wanted to perform a blood sacrifice or not, there was something wrong with the reactions of the Hehuan Sect and the Danxia Sect this time. These two major sects currently control Qingyang City, and there are more than a dozen small markets around, all controlled by the Jindan elders behind the two major sects.
But what is the result?
However, they allowed the evil cultivators from Yue, Chu and Chang to cause chaos.
The more he thought about this situation, the more familiar it seemed.
I still remember that it was the same at Yunshanfang.
But this time it's different.
The Danxia Sect, the Hehuan Sect and other sects occupied the territories that were once under the jurisdiction of the Jinyang Sect. If the Jinyang Patriarch really broke through to the God Transformation stage and came back, he would definitely settle accounts with these sects first.
Therefore, there is no reason for the major sects of the Twelve Countries to cooperate with Patriarch Jin Yang.
"Could it be that these sects learned that Patriarch Jin Yang had made a breakthrough and wanted to make some money before leaving?"
Think of this.
Shen Ping felt that this was more and more possible. He glanced at his wives and concubines and earnestly warned them, "Yu Yan, Yun'er...you should not go to South City these days."
As long as Yu Yan and the others stay in the courtyard, nothing will happen.
The wives and concubines nodded one after another.
After dinner.
Shen Ping went to the Lingchi quiet room to meditate and practice.
His spiritual roots transformed to the heavenly level, and he only needed two hours to complete a small cycle of his exercises, which was much more effective than his previous practice in the second level of foundation building. This undoubtedly saved him a lot of time, allowing him to go to the talisman-making room to make talismans after noon and study the talisman scriptures at 3 p.m.
And so seven more days passed.
Elegant room in Zhenbao Building.
Shen Ping and Chong Ji sat on both sides.
Since the last wine tasting party, the two of them have been communicating through text messages most of the time, and only occasionally make appointments to come to this private room for tea.
"Senior Chong, there is chaos everywhere around Qingyang Lake. How is the situation in your spiritual vein cave?"
Shen Ping asked.
Chong Ji shook his head helplessly, "Those demon cultivators are really abominable. Not long after the incident at Fenglinfang, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect sent a team of cultivators to surround my cave. Fortunately, I was temporarily staying in a friend's cave with my disciples at that time, otherwise I would have been doomed."
"I have now rented a small courtyard in Huiquan Lane and will be living there for a long time."
Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, "Senior Chong has a grudge against the Ten Thousand Poison Sect?"
"There is indeed a grudge."
"When I first became a second-class guest official of Zhenbao Tower, I went to Changguo and encountered some problems. I killed a Jindan disciple of Wandu Sect. Since then, we have had a grudge and have fought each other many times over the years."
Chong Ji smiled and said, "This kind of thing is very common among cultivators. The Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Luosha Demon Valley, and Chuguo Demon Sect have joined forces to become powerful. I can only hide in Qingyang City, which is a good opportunity to deal with other things."
The two were talking.
Shopkeeper Qu hurried in and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Senior Chong, something happened in Qingyang City."
"Just half an hour ago, the Hehuan Sect invited the Jindan elders of the Danxia Sect stationed here to discuss how to deal with the Demon Sect. However, during the discussion, the Hehuan Sect suddenly activated the large formation that had been prepared long ago, besieged several elders of the Danxia Sect, and took the opportunity to attack the Danxia Sect's station."
"Those Jindan elders have already asked for help from our Zhenbao Tower. Now Elder Peng, Deacon Xia and more than a dozen other Jindan guests have rushed over. Their main purpose is to mediate the grievances and stabilize the situation in Qingyang City."
Shen Ping's expression changed slightly.
Chong Ji frowned, "The Hehuan Sect and the Danxia Sect are both major sects in Jinzhou. Although they belong to the righteous and evil sects, the two sects do not have much hatred for each other. On the contrary, they have many cooperations, especially when facing other sects. How could such a change happen?!"
Shopkeeper Qu sighed repeatedly, "Who knows? Alas, ever since Patriarch Jin Yang fled, the situation in the Wei Kingdom has never been truly stable."
"I hope Elder Peng and his team can mediate successfully."
Next, the three of them waited in the private room.
Near noon.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Elder Peng, Deacon Xia and a dozen other Jindan guest officials returned.
In the backyard.
When Shen Ping saw their expressions, he realized that this mediation was likely to fail.
really.
Elder Peng snorted, "The Hehuan Sect is ultimately a demon sect. They are greedy and arrogant, and they want to monopolize the benefits of Qingyang City. They ignored our dissuasion and killed the Jindan Daoists from the Danxia Sect. If this matter is reported back to Jin State, will the Yuanying elders of the Danxia Sect let it go?!"
Deacon Xia said in a deep voice: "This matter is quite strange. The prestige of the Danxia Sect among the twelve countries is not low. If the Hehuan Sect acts rashly, it will only bring disaster upon itself."
Listening to the discussions of the Jindan Zhen people.
Shen Ping didn't think about anything. Instead, he said something to Chong Ju and Manager Qu, and hurriedly left Zhenbao Tower.
When he returned to the courtyard in Tongquan Lane and saw that his wives and concubines were all there, he felt relieved. He then asked Pei Huoyu beside him, "Senior Pei, what do you think the Hehuan Sect is trying to do?"
Pei Huoyu said casually: "Outside the city, the Demon Sects of various countries are wreaking havoc, and inside the city, the Hehuan Sect is suddenly causing trouble. This should have been discussed long ago. What they are after is nothing more than some resources and benefits. No matter what these Demon Sects want to do, Fellow Daoist Shen does not need to be distracted by it."
"No matter how much trouble the Wei Kingdom makes, nothing can be achieved."
Listening to this indifferent tone.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "With Senior Pei's words, I feel more at ease. However, I have accumulated some doubts while practicing the Talisman Sutra these days. I want to go to Xiaoling Peak at the end of the month. This courtyard..."
Pei Huoyu walked into the quiet room and said, "I will set up some formations these days. When you leave, call Master Qiu to come and take charge. Everything will be fine."
"Thank you, senior!"
…
Yin hour.
Inside the bedroom in the courtyard next door.
Shen Ping reiterated Pei Huoyu's arrangements.
Dressed in a brown-purple palace dress and with a charming and graceful face, Master Qiu leaned in Shen Ping's arms and whispered, "I will listen to you, but the situation is chaotic now. Although Senior Pei is protecting us, it is still dangerous if we encounter a group of demon cultivators on the way."
laugh.
Shen Ping pulled open her palace dress.
Clap your palms.
Master Qiu instinctively turned around and bent over his desk.
Look at the lush mountains and rivers.
He lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Senior Pei is from the headquarters, his cultivation is powerful, and he has many methods. Besides, Qingyang City is not far from Xiaoling Peak. If we really encounter a danger that is difficult to resolve, True Lord Yunya will also take action."
Master Qiu lowered her voice, her cheeks flushed, "With a Yuanying senior like Master Yunya helping me, I feel much more at ease."
Facing the Golden Core True Man.
Shen Ping didn't need to control his jade bone body, he could just unleash his strength without restraint.
Two cups of tea passed.
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's try the Jade Kui Body again."
Master Qiu nodded slowly.
Then she lifted her foot and stepped over her head, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Mr. Shen, I believe you will succeed this time!"
Shen Ping said nothing.
He himself wasn't very sure.
After all, the one in front of him is a rare outer sect body that can transform seven times.
Adjust your state.
He stepped forward suddenly.
