Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 3: Inviting the Gods to Descend to Earth, Xin Shisi Niang
Jiale nodded, not caring about Zhao Hong's generous reward. His family had tens of millions, enough to buy the Zhao Mansion worth thousands.
call!
A demonic wind blew, Jiale sensed four demonic auras, it seemed that he had sensed the anger of the four Five-Direction Gods from the demonic auras. After all, they were used to running rampant in the countryside, and suddenly someone dared to touch them. Don’t they know that in Jinhua County, even if a raindrop falls, it will be their brothers’ fault?
boom!
Four figures landed in the courtyard of Zhao's mansion with a bang. Jiale looked at the four people in front of him. There were actually two demon generals, and the remaining two were also at the peak of the demon soldier realm. No wonder Ji Jing said that these five five-power gods were the most powerful guys in Jinhua County.
Yi Jiale has not yet recovered to the Spirit Transformation Realm. If it were before, it would have been a real problem for him to defeat these four people, but it is different now.
"It's you!"
The eldest of the Five Gods looked around the courtyard. Everyone else hurriedly lowered their heads. Zhao Hong and Yan Shi had already begun to tremble. Only Jia Le stood straight and looked directly at the four of them. Seeing Jia Le in Taoist attire, Da Lang was immediately sure that it was Jia Le.
Jiale nodded slowly.
In front of Tongyoushen, there were two pigs, a horse, and a cow. Dalang was a cow.
"Since when have the five animals sacrificed and the beasts killed by the sword been placed on the table?"
The four of them didn't quite understand these flowery words and were a little stunned at first, but they soon understood what Jiale meant. He was scolding them.
"Ah, you stinky Taoist priest, you are looking for death."
The eldest brother wasn't in any danger yet, but the fifth brother lost his balance first and rushed directly towards Jiale.
Jiale didn't tolerate him. He raised his hand and a bolt of lightning came down, hitting Wulang right on the spot.
This Wulang's combat experience is much worse than Silang's. Silang knew to use the smell of incense to block it, but this Wulang didn't have that awareness and was directly killed by a thunder.
"Thunder method!"
The remaining three demons were startled, and Dalang shouted directly, "Fight shoulder to shoulder."
Jiale looked at the three people and prepared to try out his new magic.
“Brother!”
At this moment, a figure rushed in from outside the Zhao Mansion. When Jiale saw this figure, his eyes lit up.
"Four Wonders and Five Extremes, the gods have come to the world and granted me supernatural powers to slay demons and monsters!"
Jia Le chanted a spell to summon the gods and pointed at the figure that broke in.
boom!
While Jia Le was finishing his spell, a star in the west of the night sky, representing the Dou constellation, suddenly shone brightly and showered light on the world. The Zhao residence was also enveloped by a huge aura. The figure that broke in suddenly changed his aura, as if he were a god descending to the earth. He was awe-inspiring without even being angry, and his strength was unpredictable.
The three demons that had just been charging towards Jiale with such momentum were instantly frightened when they came into contact with such momentum.
"Wansheng!"
When Zhao Hong saw this scene, he murmured, not knowing what was going on.
It turned out that the figure who suddenly broke in was named Wansheng, Zhao Hong's cousin. He was a strong and brave man, skilled in archery and weapons. Wansheng came to visit Zhao Hong and his friends in the past two days. He knew that Zhao Hong would be in the pawnshop at night and only his cousin's wife was at home. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not stay at Zhao's house, but stayed at his friend's house. Zhao Hong received a report from someone in the house that a bad guy had entered the house.
The first person Zhao Hong thought of was his cousin Wansheng, and he immediately sent someone to invite him. When Wansheng heard that there were bad guys in his cousin's house who wanted to humiliate his cousin's wife, he was furious, took his weapon, and ran towards Zhao's house.
During the day, Jia Le suddenly thought of the art of summoning gods. In the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it is impossible to summon the ancestors. If you want to summon the ancestors, it will be impossible without a spiritual response.
Jiale is unwilling to ask the ghost for help, so he can only ask the gods for help.
There are three levels of summoning techniques, and this one is the most difficult. However, with Jia Le's attainments and realm in the technique, he is already good enough to summon the gods.
However, to invoke the gods, it also depends on whether the gods are available. If you are lucky, the gods will respond. Jia Le practices the Shangqing Dadong Sutra, and his Taoist aura is the purest. There are also many gods of the Shangqing sect in the heaven. According to the normal situation of the summoning technique, Jia Le has a great chance of asking the next god for help.
But Jiale also felt that his luck was good today. Just as he was about to pray to the gods, a person with astronomical knowledge ran in.
At this moment, Jiale wanted to say: The situation is in my hands.
"You bold monster, stop being so presumptuous!"
Wansheng was full of vigor and pointed the long sword in his hand, chopping towards the three monsters.
At this moment, Wansheng's aura was stronger than Jiale's in his heyday. How could three monsters, who were only at the level of demon generals at most, be Wansheng's opponents? They were hacked to death before they could even make a second move.
Wansheng put away his sword and stood up, looking at Jiale, feeling the aura of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra on Jiale's body, his eyes lit up.
A green light popped out from his fingertips and shot towards Jiale.
"If you have any problems in the future, please ask me to come. This body is under my star destiny, please take care of it."
After saying this, Kuimulang had already left Wansheng's body and returned to heaven.
That’s right, this time Jia Le invited the god Kui Mulang, the first of the twenty-eight constellations in the west.
Jiale guessed that it was also related to Wansheng. The first time Wansheng entered the Zhao Mansion, Jiale saw the Kuixiu star destiny on him. Don’t you think this is a coincidence?
Kuimulang could naturally see Jiale's aptitude for cultivation, and he was also practicing the Shangqing Dadong Sutra, so he was one of their own. However, it was also unexpected for Jiale that Kuimulang would grant spiritual response to Jiale. From now on, Jiale would not have to worry about the gods being too busy to pray to him. Even if Kuimulang could not take care of him, he would lend his strength to Jiale, and all difficulties would be resolved.
I have to say, this is definitely an unexpected gain.
Wansheng was possessed by Kuimulang. Although it only took one attack, it consumed a lot of energy. He collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, it didn't last long and he didn't faint.
"Wansheng!"
Zhao Hong was a little anxious when he saw his cousin falling to the ground, so he hurried forward to check.
"Don't worry, it's just exhaustion, just help him into the house and let him rest.
Zhao Hong was relieved when he heard this. He looked at Jia Le and bowed again. "Master, today, thanks to you, not only did you save my family, but you also helped Wuzhong get rid of the threat of the Five Gods. Master, please rest in your mansion. I will definitely give you a generous gift to thank you."
Jiale did not refuse. If it were not for Wansheng, Jiale would have left right away. But now that he had Wansheng, Jiale had to wait. Tomorrow he could take him away. To invite gods to descend to the earth, they had to possess a body. Jiale did not want the gods to possess him. After all, gods were not the ancestors. If the gods had any powerful means and saw through Jiale's secrets after possessing him, it would be bad.
Wansheng is a ready-made material for possession. If you encounter a difficult opponent in the future, you can bring Wansheng with you and ask the god to possess you at any time. Jiale thought about letting Wansheng go to Jinhua County to join Sun Yan tomorrow and say that he is his apprentice. Then he can use him directly without revealing his identity. With the strength of the Sun family, it is more than enough to support Wansheng.
Seeing Jiale agreed, Zhao Hong was extremely happy and quickly asked someone to make arrangements.
However, Jiale still had to go out and deal with the other two Wutong Temples. After returning to his room, he disappeared quietly again.
In the entire Jinhua County, apart from these two demon generals Wutongshen, there are no other demon generals of this level who can be killed with confidence.
In fact, this was indeed the case. For the other two places, Jiale only spent an hour to finish them.
When he returned to the Zhao residence, he saw that there were already fifteen energy beads in Jiale's Kunlun Mirror, two of which were at the Divine Transformation level.
Jiale did not delay and started to open the energy beads and began to refine the space-time energy crystals. At dawn, the five Qi Refining level energy beads disappeared. Jiale's cultivation had recovered to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the Kunlun Mirror had a significant change after receiving the space-time energy crystals discharged from Jiale's body.
The most obvious thing is that the space inside the Kunlun Mirror has become larger and the spiritual energy has become richer.
Originally, the space inside the Kunlun Mirror was only one hundred cubic meters, but now it has doubled or tripled, and the spiritual energy has also increased by about 10%.
Originally, Jiale was a little annoyed about the time-space energy crystals in his body, but now it seems that a blessing in disguise. Although these time-space energy crystals will take some time for him to recover his cultivation, the materials that can restore the Kunlun Mirror are something Jiale cannot buy even if he spends all his wealth. After careful calculation, he has made a fortune.
If one day the Kunlun Mirror can really recover to its original level, it will be a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It is not impossible for a mortal to kill immortals.
What's more, Jiale can use energy beads to speed up the refining of space-time energy crystals. There are many Wutong Gods in Yangzhou. As long as Jiale is diligent, it won't take a year at all. Maybe a month will be enough to expel all the space-time energy crystals from the body and restore his cultivation. Well, at this time, Jiale hopes that he can have more space-time energy crystals in his body.
"Master!"
Jiale got up early and practiced morning exercises in the yard. Zhao Hong came to invite him, and Wansheng was with him.
Zhao Hong's face was full of flattery as he greeted everyone enthusiastically. However, Wansheng was a little silent. He did not sleep well last night and he did not know anything about the experience of inviting the gods to descend upon him. But after Zhao Hong told him about it, he realized that he had met a god. When he looked at Jiale again, there was a strange look in his eyes, mostly a bit of awe.
Moreover, after what happened yesterday, there seemed to be something more in his mind, as if it was some martial arts. He was originally in the innate realm of martial arts, but because of his poor skills, he had no way forward. Now he suddenly got an opportunity. Looking at Jiale, Wansheng wondered, could it be given by the Taoist priest?
"Master, I have already arranged breakfast, why don't we eat together?"
Not sure if it was his illusion, but Zhao Hong felt that the Taoist priest looked more radiant today.
"Okay, lead the way."
At the dinner table, Jiale ate a few bites casually and then looked at Wansheng who had been staring at him.
"But do you have something to say?"
Wansheng naturally had something to say, and he had a lot of questions in his mind, but after looking around at Zhao Hong and Yan, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. Although Zhao Hong was his cousin, he didn't think that his cousin and his wife would harm him, but if he told such things out, he always felt that it would bring disadvantages to his cousin and his wife.
Zhao Hong was a smart man and he knew what was going on when he saw this.
"Ma'am, go back and rest. You were frightened yesterday. I asked a doctor to come and check on you. He should be here by now."
Zhao Hong left with an excuse, and Jiale and Wansheng were the only ones left in the central hall.
Wansheng was no longer indebted and stood up and bowed to Jiale.
"Master, you saved my cousin's family yesterday. I am deeply grateful. After hearing what my cousin said later, I know that you have great magical powers. But after I woke up yesterday, I found that there were some extra things in my mind. I wonder if it was you, Master?"
There are some more things!
Jiale reacted immediately. It was probably Kuimulang who left them behind. Wansheng responded to Kuixing's order and was considered Kuimulang's disciple. When Kuimulang came to the world yesterday, he would naturally take care of him. There was nothing wrong with that. However, when Douxu came to the world, they usually served as generals in troubled times. It was probably just some martial arts inheritance.
Shaking his head, "I didn't give it to you. You are the one with Kui Xing in your life. Yesterday I invited Kui Xing to descend to the mortal world and possess you. It was your good fortune. You just happened to get some benefits."
Kuixing is the life star!
Wansheng was also surprised when he heard this. He had heard of Wenquxing and Wuquxing descending to earth, but what did the descent of Kuixing mean?
However, after hearing Jiale's words, Wansheng finally knew the origin of those things, and he felt less uneasy. Although Wansheng was not born into a wealthy and famous family, he had been adhering to morality and righteousness since childhood, studying hard and practicing martial arts. He understood the principle of not receiving rewards without merit. After hearing Jiale's words, he could practice the things he got in his mind with peace of mind.
However, thinking of Jiale's powerful performance yesterday, Wansheng felt moved again.
"Master, I am going to exorcise demons and monsters. I wonder if I can follow you. Wansheng will definitely not be a burden to you."
Jiale smiled when he heard this, this was something he had delivered to his doorstep.
"Why did you come to Jinhua?"
When Wansheng heard this, he showed an angry look on his face, "Master, you don't know, my hometown is Kuaiji, but recently the White Lotus Sect has been very powerful and has already invaded Kuaiji . Local officials have colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and the people are also ignorant. I know that the White Lotus Sect is just trying to confuse ordinary people and turn them into demons, so I don't want to follow them.
A few days ago, I ran into the White Lotus sect who were raping prostitutes and trafficking children, so I killed some of them. I couldn't stay in Kuaiji any longer, so I came to Jinhua to seek refuge with my cousin. But my cousin didn't have a suitable place to stay for me, so I was planning to find a place to stay for the next few days."
Hmm! The White Lotus Sect has arrived in Kuaiji!
Jia Le was also shocked when he heard this. Kuaiji is also the county seat of Yangzhou. With the power of the White Lotus Sect, after entering Kuaiji, it is likely that it will spread to Jinling soon. There may even be scattered White Lotus sect members who have entered Jinling County to scout the way.
Jiale has heard a lot about the White Lotus Sect recently and knows that this White Lotus Sect is not simple.
She knows Taoism, has supernatural powers, can call the wind and rain, and can bring dead trees back to life. Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors. There is always smoke without fire, and perhaps some of them are exaggerated, but it is certain that she has some magic. And there is the Mother of No Birth. It is said that she has been performing miracles in various places, and even Taoists and monks who have gone there cannot subdue her. Maybe she is some kind of peerless demon.
Therefore, after integrating various information, Jiale never regarded the White Lotus Sect as just an ordinary rebellious force.
After my strength is restored, I will investigate it thoroughly.
"I have an apprentice who has considerable influence in Jinhua County. If you don't have a place to go, I can recommend you to go there."
Wansheng's eyes darkened when he heard that. He actually wanted to become Jiale's apprentice, but he also knew that such a powerful Taoist priest would not easily accept disciples, especially one of his age. So he thought about staying with Jiale first. After a long time, maybe he would have a chance. But now it seems that Jiale really has no intention of accepting him as a disciple.
Wansheng did not reject Jiale's kindness. Jiale was able to subdue the Five Gods. Wansheng believed that Jiale was a good person and would not harm him, and he really needed a place to go now.
"Thank you for your kindness, Taoist."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Jiale did not stay any longer. After telling Wansheng the address of Sun Mansion, he said goodbye to Zhao Hong and left. Zhao Hong was a man who understood the ways of the world. After trying to persuade him to stay, he saw that Jiale really had no intention of staying any longer, so he offered him a considerable amount of silver. After hearing that Jiale introduced a place for Wansheng, which was the famous Sun family in Jinhua County, he thanked Jiale profusely. Only then did Wansheng know that Jiale had found such a good place for him.
He did not refuse Zhao Hong's money. It was best to receive money for doing the job and to settle the matter.
When returning to the county town, Jiale discovered that there were many more refugees outside the city gate. However, it was not so easy for refugees to enter the city. Refugees have been a factor of riots since ancient times. If all of them were absorbed into the city at once, there might be a big chaos. Generally, logistical work must be done first, and as many refugees as can be absorbed can be allowed in.
This is apparently what the magistrate of Jinhua County did.
"I heard that the three kings in the north rebelled and started a war. These refugees all came from the north."
The Three Kings Rebellion!
Jiale's heart moved. Most of the refugees came to escape from the war. It seemed that Dali was really going to be in chaos.
Inside the Sun Mansion.
Zhang Long was reporting the situation to Jiale, who was transformed into a paper man. Zhang Long's martial arts might be average, but his eloquence was absolutely impeccable. It was obvious that he had not even been to Lanruo Temple, but now he was describing his cousin's few words vividly. If Jiale had not seen the situation in Lanruo Temple with his own eyes, he would have frowned.
After sending Zhang Long away and collecting the paper figurines, Jiale assured housekeeper Lin that Wansheng's coming would be to continue his cultivation.
Ten energy beads are enough for Jiale to digest for several days.
Three days later, the ten energy beads were completely digested, and one twentieth of the space-time energy crystals in the body had been gone. His strength also recovered to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Master, there is a female Bodhisattva outside Jinhua City. Should we go and see her? I heard she is very beautiful."
Female Bodhisattva!
Jiale looked at the lewd smiles on Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's faces and knew that they had discovered some beauty again and were urging him to go and see her with them.
Wansheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, obviously looking down on Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. However, his eyes were attracted by the kitten in Jiale's arms.
The crystal of time and space energy increased the spiritual energy of the Kunlun Mirror, and awakened all of Jiale's spirit beasts. However, it takes time for the demonic power to recover. The Kunlun Mirror was full of spiritual energy, so Jiale kept them in the Kunlun Mirror to practice. However, the Tengu couldn't stay there and wanted to come out for some fresh air, and Jiale didn't refuse.
Since I have no more energy beads, it would be okay to go out for a walk.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were overjoyed and began to prepare the carriage.
Jiale looked at Wansheng, who was wearing guard clothes, carrying a longbow and holding a short knife, and asked, "How are you, are you getting used to staying in the mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Wansheng bowed his head hastily. As for Jiale, Wansheng had no complaints. He had been in the Sun Mansion for two days already. Because of Jiale, he was arranged to stay in the yard directly. He knew that Jiale stayed in the house most of the time. Thinking that Jiale was the Taoist's apprentice, Wansheng guessed that Jiale might be practicing. He admired Jiale's hard work in practice, which made him more sincere in doing things.
"Master, everything is fine in the mansion."
Jiale smiled and nodded without asking any more questions.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had already gotten a carriage, and Wansheng drove the car. The four of them went out into the street. The number of people on the street did not decrease, and it seemed that there were even more people. There was a war in the north and the White Lotus Sect in the south, but it did not affect the prosperity of Jinhua County much.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu pointed the way and actually came all the way out of the city.
Jiale also saw the situation outside the city. The accumulated refugees were more than those who had returned three days ago, probably several thousand. Although the Jinhua County magistrate did not allow all the refugees to enter the city, he also set up porridge stalls to distribute porridge and called on the wealthy families in Jinhua County to help. This was a matter of making a name for himself, and with the magistrate's help, the wealthy families in the county would naturally not refuse to give face, and they all contributed money, food and manpower.
The Sun Mansion is under the charge of Steward Lin, who is not short of work and still takes the lion's share.
"Sir, that's the one, the one who gave out porridge."
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu jumped up and down and pointed to the front for Jiale. They looked even more excited than seeing their own mother.
Jiale also looked in the direction they pointed.
Among the many porridge stalls, there was one where two women were giving out porridge. The smaller one was fine, beautiful though a bit vulgar. But the other one was different.
She was dressed in plain clothes, a red cape, and had a pretty face. She ran around in the dew while distributing porridge, and her shoes and socks were wet, without any affectation. It was obvious that she was doing her job sincerely, and not just some young lady putting on a show.
When she saw children coming to get porridge, she smiled, and her appearance became even more beautiful. The most rare thing was that she exuded a bit of fairy air.
"Fox demon!"
Jiale had a strange expression on his face. Under the eyes of the God of Ghosts, the master and servant could certainly not hide from Jiale's discerning eyes. They were clearly two fox demons.
What is rare is that the master and the servant do not have any sins. Instead, they have some merits. Especially the master. If she practices cultivation wholeheartedly, there is a possibility that she can become a demon fairy.
"How long have they been here? You can tell their situation."
Seeing Jiale's smile, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu thought that Jiale also liked this master and servant, and they immediately explained happily that cats have their ways, snakes have their ways, and there is nothing in Jinhua County that these two people don't know.
"Master, these two women are a master and servant. They came two days ago when the magistrate ordered people to set up the porridge stall. I heard that they donated a lot of things. Not only are they good-looking, but they also have good attitudes."
As they talked, they were still a little intoxicated, but they reacted quickly and said to Jiale, "When we saw these two, we thought they were a good match for you, so we told you right away. Young master, we have found out everything for you. This lady's surname is Xin, she is the fourteenth child in the family, and people call her Xin Fourteenth Niang. I heard she is only fifteen years old. The one next to her is her maid. Miss Xin has a big family, it's a big family. It's definitely not as good as being your wife, but she can still be a concubine."
Looking at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu who were seriously arranging their lives, Jia Le was a little speechless. However, this Xin Shisiniang sounded a little familiar. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
At this moment, a group of people walked out of the city and came straight to the porridge stall where Xin Shisinian was. Four or five lackeys pushed aside the refugees who were getting porridge, allowing a young man among them to show up.
"You again!"
Xin Shisinian frowned as she looked at the scene in front of her, but the maid beside her was already shouting at the young man angrily.
"Fourteenth Lady, how can you be so exposed to the public? How about you think clearly about what happened two days ago? After you enter my house, you will have delicious food and drinks, which is better than here. I have already checked it out. Your family has no place to stay now. You are boarding in a Zen temple outside the city. If you obey me, I will take care of your family. Your sisters are also very beautiful.
If they are willing, I can serve me together. I can accept that, hahaha."
"Hahaha."
Several lackeys also laughed along with the young master. The refugees wanted to stand up, but they were timid in their hearts. Shisiniang looked angry, but she restrained herself. After all, although the people on the opposite side were hateful, it would be a loss of her original intention if she used magic power to retaliate.
Jiale also didn't expect that he didn't encounter the scene of this playboy molesting a decent girl in Uncle Jiu's world, but his dream came true here.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were also a little angry.
"Master, that's the young master of the Chu family, Chu Renxiong. His sister married the county magistrate. He has become more and more rampant recently. He comes to bully Miss Xin every day. Let's teach him a lesson."
Master Chu!
Jia Le suddenly realized that among the four major families in Jinhua County, the county magistrate was an outsider and did not have many family members. The four major families were all powerful families in Jinhua. Among them, the Sun family was naturally the undisputed number one family. The Chu family was also one of the four major families and was in charge of many businesses in Jinhua County. They occupied many clerk positions in the county government. This young master Chu was also very famous and was a well-known dandy in Jinhua County.
I just don't know when the Chu family actually formed an alliance with the county magistrate. I guess it was a means for the county magistrate to win over the Chu family and achieve some political goal. I don't know if it will be detrimental .
Renxiong! What a waste of a good name, bear is more like it.
"Let's go!"
How could Jiale let go of the chance to slap the dude in the face?
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were overjoyed when they heard this. They led the way and stopped the carriage next to the porridge shed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Chu Renxiong also cast his gaze over.
"Who is so blind that doesn't know that Master Chu is here?"
Jiale, who was sitting in the sedan chair, smiled when he heard this. Wansheng opened the curtain and Jiale walked out slowly.
Bang!
Jiale makes a grand appearance while waving the folding fan in his hand and holding the Tengu.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this. The elegant young man was so handsome and unparalleled in the world. There was no harm without comparison. Compared with the bullying Chu Renxiong and the brilliant Jia Le, he was just like a bear barking in the street.
"Chu Renxiong! What? There's not enough fun in the city, so you want to go outside the city to play?"
Chu Renxiong's face looked ugly at this time, and his servants stopped shouting. Sun Yan was not an unknown person. He had appeared in Jinhua many times before. Sun Yan had never seen them, but they had seen Sun Yan and recognized him at this time.
"Sun Yan!"
Chu Renxiong gritted his teeth, but was calculating the gains and losses in his mind. The head of the Sun family passed away, and the Sun family had already lost power, but in this huge Jinhua County, it was still the number one family. Chu Renxiong's father had instructed that he should not mess with the Sun family recently, as they were making a big plan and must not be discovered.
It's just that how could Chu Renxiong, who is used to being lawless, tolerate being humiliated in the street? It might have been okay when the head of the Sun family was still alive, but now that the Sun family has lost its power, is it worthy of him, the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, to give in?
Looking at the moody Chu Renxiong, the people watching more or less guessed Jia Le's identity.
Sun Yan of the Sun family has a great reputation. He is the richest son-in-law in Jinhua County.
"Sun Yan, are you going to ruin my good thing?"
Seeing Chu Renxiong gritting his teeth, Jiale smiled even more happily. Although Jiale had traveled for quite a while in Uncle Jiu's world and visited many places, he had never really lived like an ordinary person. Now, as Sun Yan, he experienced this kind of life and found it really wonderful. He even had some new insights into the joys of the world.
The monks practice Taoism by refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit back to emptiness, returning to emptiness and merging with the Tao. The state of transforming spirit into spirit is called human immortal, the state of refining spirit and returning to emptiness is called earthly immortal, and the state of returning to emptiness and merging with the Tao is called celestial immortal.
But in ancient times, the celestial beings had to go through ninety-nine thunder tribulations to open the gate to heaven. If one could pass through them, he could go straight to heaven and be granted the status of an immortal god, thus becoming a true immortal.
But before going through the tribulation, one must first leave the mortal world. The so-called immortals and gods have no selfish desires. Although not all of them are without selfish desires, if one wants to survive the thunder tribulation and be granted the status of an immortal or god, this step is necessary. If one wants to leave the mortal world, one must first enter it. Countless ancient cultivators have abandoned their wives and children. In their view, the memories of the mortal world are nothing more than a period of cultivation experience. Those who are willing to give up can become immortals.
If you can't bear to let go and give up, you can only fall into the mortal world forever and become a mortal immortal.
Although Jiale didn't quite agree with it, he did understand the beauty of tempering the mind in this worldly life.
“Bang!”
"Do you know who you are talking to?"
Don't get me wrong, this is not the sound of a folding fan, but the sound of Jiale's slap. In the blink of an eye, Jiale has read Chu Renxiong's memory. The marriage between the Chu family and the county magistrate is indeed up to no good. The county magistrate is also a two-faced guy. On the surface, he said that he regarded Sun's father as his mentor and that as long as Sun was around, the Sun family would not be humiliated. However, not long after Sun's father left, he began to unite the wealthy families in the city to seize the Sun family's property.
Jiale had no problem understanding the magistrate's actions.
Ye Zirong, the magistrate of Jinhua County, was born in a poor family and had no powerful backing. When his father was alive, he was able to become the magistrate with the help of his father. But now that his father is gone, Ye Zirong no longer has any strong backing. If he wants to climb up further, he can only rely on himself. In the officialdom, if you want to go far, you can only rely on two things: people or money.
And this person also needs money to pave the way.
There is no official without ambition. The greater the ability, the greater the ambition. It would be a waste not to eat the big piece of fat meat of the Sun family. Although Ye Zirong had to use reason when taking action, he had to use emotion.
But Jiale still needs to stay in the Sun Mansion for the time being, and he can't let Ye Zirong and the Chu family be ruined.
Since he is not ready yet and does not want to be exposed, then just force him. It is just a matter of convenience. Since he wants to experience the wonders of this world, he should enjoy it to the fullest. With this slap, Jia Le controlled the strength just right, only making Chu Renxiong fly five meters. His face must be swollen and his teeth must be lost, but he must not faint.
Chu Renxiong, who flew backwards, was now confused.
He looked at Jiale's hand, which he had just withdrawn, and then looked at his lackey, his eyes seemed to be asking: How did I get here? Was I beaten?
Several lackeys were also terrified and hurried over to help Chu Renxiong up. Chu Renxiong had also recovered by now and looked furious. He pointed at Jiale and started beating him up.
"No, you're so hot, so hot, so hot, come on."
The lackeys didn't hear clearly what Chu Renxiong said, but they did understand the last part clearly. However, that person was Sun Yan, how could they dare to do that? A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If they beat Sun Yan, they would be buried in a mass grave the next day.
"Sir, Sir, the master told me to do that."
Chu Renxiong doesn't care about the master now. That's because your master was not beaten. If your master was beaten, he would shout even more fiercely than him.
Jiale looked at Chu Renxiong who was crying and screaming, then took two steps forward and pulled his hand out from behind.
Upon seeing this, Chu Renxiong's eyelids twitched and he dodged reflexively, causing everyone to laugh even louder. Looking at the laughing people and the cowardly lackeys who dared not step forward, Chu Renxiong almost went crazy.
"Third Master, what are you doing?"
Chu Renxiong left behind a harsh remark that no one could understand. Fearing that Jia Le would slap him again, Chu Renxiong tried to run away, but Jia Le grabbed him and slapped him again with his backhand.
Bang!
"Come, I'll give you a ride again."
"Young Master!"
The lackeys were also at a loss. They wouldn't be beaten to death, as they flew even farther than before.
Jia Le knew what was going on. He looked at Chu Renxiong standing on the ground with satisfaction. "Now it's well-proportioned. It's more comfortable to look at."
These words made everyone laugh even more happily, but Chu Renxiong did not dare to stay any longer. After he got up, he was taken away by his lackeys.
"Miss Xin, are you okay?"
Just when Jiale was about to turn around and pay some attention to the beautiful girl, asking her to see if there were any relatives or friends who could absorb men's yang energy to introduce to him, a scholar suddenly emerged from the crowd and rushed straight to Xin Shisiniang. Was he going to take over Jiale's victory? Was there someone behind him? Jiale was also stunned. This guy was really good at it.
He slowly approached Xin Shisiniang, but saw that Xin Shisiniang didn't even dare to look at Jiale. Her body began to tremble, as if she had seen something terrible.
The scholar ran over to comfort Xin Shisiniang, "Miss Xin, Mr. Sun is a good man, and Chu Renxiong is gone, so there is no need to be afraid."
Jiale looked at the scholar and suddenly felt his hands itching even more.
But the scholar bowed to Jiale who was walking over and said, "Mr. Sun, I am Feng Sheng, a student from the county. Thank you for saving Xin Shisinian this time."
Mr. Feng!
Jiale looked at the shameless guy in front of him. He was in the crowd just now. He shrank back when Chu Renxiong was around, but now he ran out. He had to say, he was really a dog. And he even thanked him. He thanked him just because it had anything to do with him. With such a thick face, he was worthy of being a student.
A gentleman uses tricks to deceive. It is obvious that Feng Sheng knew Sun Yan's previous reputation and knew that Sun Yan would fall for this trick, so he was so unscrupulous. If it was Chu Renxiong, he would not dare to do it even if he had the courage. However, Feng Sheng was wearing a washed-out cloth shirt, and he was probably not even from a poor family. He was quite scheming, but how could he dare to do it?
Bang!
"You were hiding just now, but now you're running out. Are you bullying me? Who gave you the courage?"
Feng Sheng got up from the ground in a daze. This was not the same as the script he had imagined. No, there must be something wrong. Feng Sheng didn't dare to offend Jia Le. He knew the power of the Sun family, which was more terrifying than the Chu family. He immediately stepped forward and wanted to say something to turn the tide.
Bang!
"roll!"
Attacking from both sides, the square-faced Feng Sheng no longer dared to stay and got up and ran.
“It’s an eyesore!”
He said it was an experience of the world, but the scene of him being a hero saving a beauty was incomplete.
Looking at Xin Shisiniang who was trembling and didn't care about Feng Sheng's injury at all, Jiale also knew what Xin Shisiniang was afraid of.
She was not pretending to be pitiful, nor was she frightened by Jia Le's heroic appearance, but she was afraid of the Tengu in Jia Le's arms. Among the monsters, blood is king. Those with strong blood can suppress lower-level monsters with blood alone, even if there is a gap in cultivation. Just like the dragon clan, they are like this. Although the Tengu cannot compare with the blood of a real dragon, as an exotic beast, unless it is a celestial fox in the fox clan, no fox can have a more noble bloodline than the Tengu.
What's more, Tiangou's strength is at the level of demon king. Xin Shisinian has only condensed a demon pill, and her bloodline is not high-level. How can she not be afraid of Tiangou?
"Let's go. I think the girl is frightened. I'll take her home."
After saying that, Jiale glanced at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu beside him and said, "Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, help Miss Xin continue to distribute porridge."
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, but Xin Shisinian was a little overwhelmed. Looking at the Tengu in Jiale's arms, she didn't dare to bring him home. She was afraid that the whole group would be killed.
"Mr. Sun, I."
Jiale made a hissing sound, and Tiangou squeaked his teeth at the right time, causing Xin Shisinian's body to go limp, and she got on the horse without knowing how.
He started slowly and headed towards the Zen temple.
Jiale didn't want to kill Xin Shisinian, after all, she was a person of great merit. Although Jiale lacked energy beads, he would not kill such a fox demon. But Zhang Long and Zhao Hu said that this was a den, and foxes usually had complicated bloodlines. Even if this family was okay, they could introduce him to other fox dens, or other demons. Jiale was not picky.
Now he needs energy beads. He has just finished clearing the Jinhua County area in the Wutongshen dungeon. If he wants to clear it again, he has to go far away. His cultivation has not yet recovered to the Yin Shen realm, and he cannot travel as a Yin Shen. It is really inefficient. Xin Shisiniang came to his doorstep, so it is just right for him to open another dungeon. Foxes are smart, and Jiale estimates that the old fox in this family can be sensible.
