Chapter 38 Old Immortal
Yidu is the ancient Langya area and was once named Qingzhou, so the government of Qingzhou Prefecture has always been located here.
This famous city through the ages has been increasingly prosperous since Jiang Taigong was granted the title of Duke of Qi. By the Daming period, the city's population had reached hundreds of thousands, making it a well-known city in Qi and Lu.
The Wang family of Langya has been passed down here for thousands of years, and its branches and leaves are flourishing, its roots are deep, and its power is astonishing.
Early in the morning, as soon as a ray of light appeared in the sky, the huge city of Yidu seemed to have suddenly woken up. There were loud noises of gongs and drums, and the streets were full of joyous people. Everywhere was hung with big red lanterns and brightly silks.
If a foreigner comes here, he will definitely be confused.
It's not the New Year today, so why is Yidu City so lively? Have the people in the city gone crazy?
The common people naturally would not go crazy. They were preparing to worship the gods and get some of their aura because the old god from the Wang family of Langya was coming back.
The old immortal of the Wang family is not some ghost god canonized by the City God Temple. He is a real immortal who became an immortal hundreds of years ago. He is a household name in the entire Yidu City and everyone knows him.
However, the old immortal of the Wang family did not live in Yidu City. He was an immortal official appointed by the imperial court. He enjoyed offerings in the capital all year round and rarely came back for decades.
The last time the old immortal came back to take a look was when Wang Xiangqian, the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family, was born. It has been forty or fifty years.
Many people have never seen a real god in their life, so naturally they have to go and pay their respects and take a look at him.
The clansmen of Wang family of Langya did not dare to delay. Before daybreak, they sent out their spiritual officers to begin making preparations inside and outside the city.
Before the hour of Chen, all the common people were led to the north side of the official road in the west of the city. On the south side of the official road, the direct, collateral and branch descendants of the Wang family of Langya, as well as their spiritual officials and confidants were lined up in an orderly manner. Even the judge of the underworld of Qingzhou, Lu Daozhi, was waiting there with his subordinate gods.
Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets to welcome him, and red cloth was spread for dozens of miles. This scene is rarely seen in decades.
At the time of Chen, a huge team appeared on the official road leading to Jinan Prefecture.
On both sides of the team, there were thousands of well-equipped guards from the Shenwu Camp riding slowly on horseback. In the middle, there were hundreds of eunuchs, palace maids, ceremonial officers, and spiritual officers holding various flags, plaques, gift boxes, magic tools, etc., forming square formations and marching in unison.
Upon seeing this, Wang Xiangqian, the prefect of Qingzhou, immediately shouted, "Kneel down to welcome him."
"Wow!" Hundreds of thousands of people knelt down and shouted: "Welcome the old immortal, welcome the old immortal, welcome the old immortal!"
The sound was so loud that the entire ground shook and all the clouds in the sky seemed to be blown away.
In the middle of that huge team, the roof of the eight-man sedan chair seemed to have been rushed open.
A figure suddenly flew out of the sedan, soared into the sky, and in a flash arrived above hundreds of thousands of people.
This person is none other than the old immortal Wang Zhiji of the Wang family of Langya. Although his hair and beard are all white, his face is as ruddy as that of a middle-aged man, and his body is as strong as that of a young man. The key point is that he is sitting cross-legged in the air more than ten feet high, not to mention a high platform, there is not even a cushion under him.
This clearly tells everyone that I am a god!
"God, I finally saw a real god!"
Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people could not help but cry out in surprise, and the sound waves reached the sky, and the first to be affected was the old immortal who was sitting cross-legged in the air.
This is somewhat impolite.
Wang Zhiji smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "Blessing, this talisman dissolves in water and drinks it, and it will keep you healthy and free from disasters."
While he was speaking, countless talismans suddenly fell on the heads of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, as densely as snowflakes covering the sky.
"Wow", the people couldn't help but exclaim again, this divine method is too amazing!
Wang Zhiji smiled again and raised his hand and said, "Ci Lu, hang this money on your chest, and I guarantee you will have a prosperous source of wealth."
While he was speaking, countless copper coins tied with red ropes suddenly fell on the heads of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
"Wow", the people couldn't help but exclaim again.
Wang Zhiji still smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "Give me life, put this statue in the shrine, burn incense and worship it every day, I guarantee you will live a hundred years."
While he was speaking, countless feet-tall statues of gods appeared at the feet of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
This statue is clearly the image of Wang Zhiji himself!
Upon seeing this, Qingzhou Magistrate Lu Daozhi could not help but snort inwardly.
"This old guy is actually trying to steal our incense!"
The common people were so shocked by this divine method that they lay there with their mouths open, looking up at the sky, and screaming in amazement. They even forgot to pick up the talismans and coins.
Wang Zhiji saw this and raised his hand slightly and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Take Fu Lu Shou and go home."
The common people just woke up from their dream and shouted in unison: "Thank you, old immortal."
Wang Zhiji nodded slightly, raised his hand and said loudly: "Stand up."
The common people thought they were being asked to get up, but when they got up and looked, their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
Across the official road , a densely packed group of houses suddenly appeared on the flat ground behind the Wang family!
Wang Zhiji finished packing with great effort, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone go back."
Upon hearing this, the common people picked up the talismans and coins as if they were treasures, embraced the statue of the god, and walked towards the city with pious faces.
The reason why Wang Zhiji tried so hard to display all kinds of magical skills was that he really wanted the common people to turn to him and believe in him, thereby snatching the incense and karma from the underworld.
Because his life span was coming to an end, he could not become a god by practicing "The Secret of the Divine Hidden Earth, Eternal Life in Thick Earth", and he had never heard of anyone who could become a god by practicing the method of opening the orifices, so he naturally had to think of other ways.
The reason why he stayed in the capital and never came back was to discuss the way to become a god with the immortal officials from other aristocratic families.
Practicing the Yinsi techniques was one of the methods they discussed, because there was more than one Ghost Emperor in the Northern Yinsi who had cultivated into a god.
The legendary god-level skills were also his goal, but he did not discuss this with other immortal officials.
The reason why he rushed back from the capital in such a hurry was to seize the legendary god-level martial arts.
However, when he came before Wang Xiangqian, he smiled and said, "Qian'er, where is your precious grandson? Bring him to me quickly."
Wang Xiangqian pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Grandfather, Yuan'er is not even a month old yet and cannot stand the wind, so I didn't bring him here."
"It's okay, it's okay, then we'll go back and take a look."
Wang Zhiji waved his hand nonchalantly, then turned to the officers of the Shenwu Camp and the ceremonial officers of the inner court and said, "Everyone, please bear with it for a few days and rest in this house. I will go home to take a look."
The officers leading the troops and the ceremonial officers of the inner court hurriedly bowed and said, "Farewell, old immortal."
Wang Zhiji nodded slightly, then followed Wang Xianggan into the sedan chair prepared by the Wang family.
On the surface, he was calm and unhurried, but after getting on the sedan, he immediately whispered solemnly, "Qian'er, you have to be careful, don't leak any news to those people in the imperial court. The current emperor is not an easy person to deal with. He sent these people to monitor me."
Wang Xiangqian nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, ancestor. We have always been very careful."
Wang Zhiji nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The sedan had just left the ranks of the Shenwu Camp soldiers when he couldn't wait to ask, "Are you sure that boy is practicing a god-level technique?"
Wang Xiangqian nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, ancestor, that kid still has a magic weapon in his hand. He must have discovered the cave of the ancient god by chance."
very good!
Wang Zhiji suppressed his excitement and said with dignity, "What's wrong with Xiang Kun? Can't he even take down a small hunter? Even if that guy is practicing a god-level technique, he has only practiced for ten years at most. How can he be so powerful?"
Wang Xiangqian quickly explained, "Grandfather, that kid is too cunning. He always leads us to fight the thousand-year-old tree demon in the Yin and Yang world. I heard that the Xu family of the Northern Yin Division also suffered a few big losses at the hands of that kid. The city god Xu Gongfu was killed by that kid."
Wang Zhiji frowned and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "Forget it, I'll go there myself. We must catch that kid before that old ghost from the Xu family and force him to reveal his god-level skills."
If the earthly immortal from the Wang family really comes, can Chen Jiu withstand it?
