Chapter 485 Who is in Charge of the World?

The years passed.

Twenty years passed in a flash.

In Huaishan Town, except that the people were a little more impoverished, everything else, whether it was the shops or the buildings, had hardly changed. The only difference was that there were four or five more naughty young men in the town, including Shen Ping's son Shen Erdan.

This small gang headed by Erdan turned their chivalrous deeds into petty thefts, climbing through windows in the middle of the night and spying on widows, which caused the townspeople to criticize them. However, since these guys robbed the rich to help the poor, the townspeople only talked about it. Instead, the wealthy people in the town repeatedly requested the county government to send people to arrest them.

Unfortunately, when the yamen runners came, Erdan and his gang slipped into the yam, making it impossible for the runners to find them.

no way.

The wealthy could only pin the blame on Shen Ping's parents, but the ghost princess Xi Lengyan beat the yamen runners to the ground with one hand, which immediately made the county yamen dare not come again. After all, in this era when demons and monsters appeared frequently, the death of a few yamen runners was nothing.

"Dad, please persuade my aunt to teach me some Kung Fu. With Kung Fu, I can punish evil and promote good!"

Shen Yifan begged bitterly, saying that he was strong and could become the leader of the small group.

But Shen Ping just didn't say anything.

So Erdan went to ask his sister Shen Xiuyun for help. Now, twenty years have passed, and Shen Xiuyun has become a lady from a wealthy family. She is dignified, beautiful and intelligent. She is praised by many people in the town, and people come to her house to propose marriage every once in a while.

As for her brother, Shen Xiuyun was helpless. "Brother, father is just afraid that you will cause trouble. It's ok if you just do small things on weekdays, but if you really learn kung fu, you will definitely cause big trouble. We are poor people, how can we withstand such a big storm?"

Shen Erdan immediately swore earnestly, "Sister, as long as I learn Kung Fu, I will definitely not cause trouble. I will know the rules. At most, I will cause trouble for some bandits. You see, there are more and more bandits in the town recently. Many girls have been robbed and are miserable. Can you bear to see others continue to suffer such difficulties?"

Shen Xiuyun was kind-hearted by nature. When she heard this, she immediately felt sympathy and pleaded for Brother Erdan that same day.

Xi Lengyan smiled and said, "Your brother is a real worry. Don't listen to his nonsense. There is no such thing as bandits robbing. It's okay for you to learn martial arts, but you have to go to the mountains and hunt a bear yourself. Otherwise, don't mention it again."

There are many wild beasts in the depths of Huaishan Mountain, and monsters and demons have also been born there, but they have basically been cleared out by Gui Ji, leaving only wild beasts, among which mountain bears are the most ferocious. Ordinary mountain people dare not go into the mountains at all.

soon.

Shen Erdan knew this condition, and happily took his friends to the mountains to hunt mountain bears.

After hearing this, Shen Ping couldn't help but laugh, "Leng Yan, you may have miscalculated. This kid is very courageous."

Xi Lengyan didn't care. "I'm just using this as an excuse to teach him martial arts. He has a natural talent for Taoism and he's bound to go out and explore. If he has some skills, he'll have a smoother future."

"what ever."

"He can choose his own path. I will protect his life, but I will not interfere with his growth."

Hearing this.

Xi Lengyan knew Shen Ping's attitude and nodded, "My dear, I understand."

Shen Ping smiled and held her in his arms. After integrating into the lives of ordinary people in Huaishan Town over the years, his heart became more and more calm and natural. He also had a clearer understanding of the general situation in the world. It seemed that this peaceful mood helped him see the world more clearly.

Look up.

Looking into the depths of Huaishan Mountain, his son Erdan had already encountered the mountain bear. The other four companions included two men and two women. The fate of these people changed after they met Erdan. The fate of one of the women was vaguely tied to her son.

He calculated the past lives of these people and found that they were basically common people. There was no Taoist priest, let alone rich and powerful people. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have been like other lower-class people, getting married and having children, living an ordinary life and continuing their reincarnation in the next life. But when they met his son, their fate would become complicated and bizarre.

"Fate is truly magical. I don't know what their future will be like, or what will happen in their next life, or the next life after that?"

Shen Ping suddenly became very expectant. Now, after breaking through to the level of a celestial being and comprehending many great principles of heaven and earth, there were very few things in this world that could arouse his interest. However, the future of these people did arouse a little interest in him.

In the evening.

Erdan came back with his friends.

Having hunted down a mountain bear, he stood in front of Xi Lengyan proudly.

"Okay, from today on, I will teach you kung fu. I just hope you won't use this skill to bring harm to the village."

Xi Lengyan said.

Shen Erdan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will never harm the village."

What Gui Ji taught was not some superficial kung fu, but an extremely powerful physical method that she acquired in the netherworld. She had originally intended to rely on this method to condense the yang body. After Shen Ping watched it, he made some modifications to her. Therefore, this "Tai Xuan Gong" is extremely powerful. If one practices it to a deep level, one can compete with the Taoist masters with real skills.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must use all kinds of rare treasures to assist in your practice, otherwise you will not be a match for the Taoist priest.

Shen Erdan was extremely talented. Although his Dao bone was sealed by Shen Ping, his body had been affected by the Dao bone over the years. He was able to practice this technique very quickly. In less than three or four months, he had successfully mastered it and tempered his body to be as strong as a mountain bear.

Another year of practice.

He had mastered half of the "Tai Xuan Gong" and even ordinary demons and monsters were no match for him. Seeing that his skill was successful, his restless heart became restless again.

"Dad, I want to go out and explore the world."

Shen Erdan's face was full of determination.

Huaishan Town is too small, and even trivial matters can cause the entire town to talk about it. As a man with great ambitions, he has long wanted to leave here, travel the world, and see more scenery.

After saying this.

He was still very nervous, afraid that his father would refuse.

However, Shen Ping agreed immediately. "You are not young anymore, it is time for you to go out and explore the world. But I want to remind you that although the outside world is wonderful, it is also accompanied by various hardships. If you take your friends out, they may die outside in the future because of your decision. Don't regret it then."

Shen Erdan said happily: "I have asked them, they are all willing to follow me out. As for the future, I really haven't thought about it, but no matter what the future holds, I will not regret this decision today."

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Okay, go back and talk to your mother and ask her to give you some money, and you can leave in a few days."

"Thank you, Daddy!"

Yin Shu was still reluctant to let her son leave. There is a saying that goes "Don't travel far away when your parents are around." However, she knew that she could not stop her son's heart, so she reminded him: "When you go out, you must be careful. If you encounter bad things, don't be impulsive. You will not have your parents to protect you in the future, understand!"

"The child knows!"

Three days later.

Shen Erdan left Huaishan Town with his four childhood friends.

Look at their backs.

Yin Shu couldn't help but said, "Junior brother, why don't you give me some advice?"

Shen Ping shook his head. "My son has grown up and has his own ideas. Do you still want him to stay by your side forever? Moreover, as the descendant of a celestial being and a true lord, his future life will surely be full of ups and downs. If we force him to stay, it will restrict him. As for his safety, don't worry. He has the spell I left on him. Even an earthly immortal cannot hurt him."

Hearing this.

Yin Shu then realized that her husband had already achieved the status of a celestial being. She sighed and said, "I don't want him to have a spectacular life, I just hope that his life will be peaceful and smooth."

The five villains in the town left.

It caused a bit of a stir at first, but soon no one in the town cared about it anymore, and after a few months, they seemed to have forgotten about them.

Such is the mundane life.

…

Time flies.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Time passes quietly.

In the fifth year since Shen Erdan left, a major event happened in the world. Jing State was swallowed up by the joint efforts of Yan and Jin States. The other countries were shocked and formed an alliance to resist the joint efforts of Jin and Yan. The Taoist veins were also in turmoil, and they began to fight each other for the dragon veins and resources.

In addition to these.

There are more and more monsters and demons in the world, especially monsters, which appear frequently and have destroyed several small Taoist veins, attracting the attention of many Taoists. After all, monsters and ghosts, as long as they are powerful, understand the overall situation. But monsters are born to destroy everything. They don't follow rules or principles at all. If a Taoist is contaminated by them, it is easy for his mind to be eroded and he will be reduced to a monster puppet.

Therefore, several Taoist sects wanted Tianshan, Emei, Kunlun and other Taoist sects to send out powerful True Lords to wipe out these monsters.

Unfortunately, Tianshan, Kunlun, Emei and other places are now busy supporting dragons and snakes and preparing for the final establishment of the throne. They simply ignore the requests of these Taoist sects. In their eyes, monsters are just some products of the chaotic times. As long as the throne is established, the problem can be quickly resolved.

Ignore these Taoist sects.

Helpless.

More than a dozen Taoist sects, led by Lingyin Temple, sent Taoist priests at the real person level to slay the demon.

Twelve years later.

This demon-slaying team continued to expand, and invited capable people from all over the world to go to the Yinmo Valley together. Shen Ping's son Shen Yifan was among them. After the seal was lifted, he relied on his powerful body to shine in the Yinmo Valley, and was finally accepted as a disciple by Lingyin Temple.

This made Shen Ping sigh, thinking that the world was really small, and his son actually became a disciple of Lingyin Temple. However, he still did not interfere with it.

And so another ten years passed.

The number of monsters in the world has not decreased but increased instead. The monster-slaying teams have suffered heavy casualties. Although one of the reasons is that some ambitious people want to use the increasingly powerful monster-slaying teams to compete for the dragon veins, the root cause is that the monsters are too strong and are as tenacious as a wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring up again with the spring breeze.

At first, Shen Ping actually didn't care about it, just like the Tianshan, Kunlun, Emei and other Taoist sects. No matter how powerful the monsters were, they were just moss diseases. But over the past few years, the monsters have grown to a level comparable to the powerful Taoist sects.

He calculated with his fingers and showed some surprise on his face. The rampage of monsters was actually in line with the trend of heaven and earth. If he tried to clear them out by force, he would be going against the trend.

"It seems that there really is a powerful person in this world playing chess behind the scenes!"

It's this moment.

Shen Ping had already understood. He was afraid that the whole game had started from the moment the Great Zhao's national master advised to take drastic measures to cut down the world's Dao veins. Because the Great Zhao's national strength had declined for nearly a thousand years, according to the normal development of history, a new dynasty should have been established long ago. But until now, the countries were still in chaos, and once a certain vassal state became powerful, its king would either be infected with the disease or be harassed by demons and monsters.

Obviously, there is some force behind this, and its purpose is to nourish the monsters.

"Who is it, the Snow Fairy, the Kunlun Fairy, the Emei Fairy, or the Golden Fairy that doesn't exist in this world?"

"What's the purpose?"

He couldn't help but think, if it was a celestial immortal playing chess, then it must be for the purpose of achieving a golden immortal. But what if it was a golden immortal, he would have already stood at the pinnacle of this world, and there would be nothing he could do to improve. Or, at that height, the benefits he saw were not what he thought.

In fact, it is not Shen Ping's fault that he realized it later. Although he was a powerful person who had transcended the tribulation in the Dark Abyss and stood at the pinnacle of the lower realm, he was still a weak junior compared to the Immortal Realm after all, and had no experience in playing chess in this area.

"Never mind. Whoever it is, his purpose is finally revealed."

Shake your head.

Shen Ping suppressed the thought.

Anyway, as long as it does not involve his interests, he will not interfere no matter who is controlling the world situation.

The days go by.

Huaishan Town remained calm and peaceful. Although Jin State had grown stronger, taxes had not decreased but continued to increase. However, the people had already figured out how to deal with this. Whenever the tax collectors came, they would run to the mountains. If they occupied the fertile land, they would wait until the wheat harvest to harvest it. Their main tactic was a guerrilla tactic, which they learned from Shen Erdan.

The main reason is that there is the killing god Xi Lengyan in the town. The yamen runners have no way to deal with Huaishan Town. If they are really forced into a corner, the yamen will become a punching bag.

Therefore, the county magistrate of Huaishan County has changed for several terms, and no one is willing to take office in this place. Even if they come, it is just a formality.

Forty years after Shen Erdan left, he returned to Huaishan Town. In fact, he sent several letters home during this period, almost one letter a year at the beginning.

This time, he came back with the coffin of his four companions who had left with him.

Although Shen Erdan is a genius with a very high talent for Taoism, and has acquired two hundred years of Taoism in just a few decades, his four companions are just ordinary people. Even if they are attracted by the fate, they will only die when facing monsters.

But at least they had their glory days, which is better than staying in Huaishan Town for the rest of their lives.

However, Shen Ping noticed that his son was in a low mood. Among the four men, there was a woman who was in love with him, but she died in his arms.

"Yifan, this is the path you have chosen. No matter what the consequences are, you have to bear them."

Shen Ping only said this at the grave.
