Chapter 93: Unworthy descendants, why don’t you kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Ji! ?
Chen Jing was suppressed by Tan Tai Yao all the way, and he didn't even dare to breathe. He led the way directly to the gate of the garrison, and secretly complained in his heart:
"Could this third-step Yuan Dan be a lunatic?!"

"Da Zhao governs five states and has countless talented people under his command. Looking at the world, it seems that the 'Black Mountain City' is only the lowest level, but the seventh-rank garrison and the official represent the face of Da Zhao."

"In Black Mountain, it is indeed obvious that no one can defeat him in his third step. No one can stop him."

"But why did he bring Ji Xia with him and drive straight in, trying to break into the garrison? "

His old man has deep roots in Black Mountain for decades. Even Zheng Zizhen, the newly promoted governor of the city, has worked with him before and has a wide network of contacts.

Moreover, as a seventh-rank official guarding the government, if he died in office,
That would attract the whole prefecture's demon hunters to investigate personally!
Even if he is a third-step expert, can he stop a demon hunter?
When he arrived in front of the garrison, Chen Jing secretly groaned.

What is the relationship between this person and Ji Xia?

How could he support him like this?

Are you really crazy!
Wasn't this kid a hunter in his previous life, and only became a policeman half a month ago? Where did he make friends with such a person?
Wei Zongchang, it’s not unjustly wronged!
Along the way, Chen Jing had already carefully questioned Ji Xia and Tan Tai Yao and then dismissed all the soldiers.

Ning Hai from Jianji Martial Arts School didn't even dare to say a word and just slipped away.

Only Xu Qin from Qinjian Martial Arts School is left. As someone who has followed Xu Nian since childhood and learned Qinjian Pavilion martial arts, she has experienced the entire process of Qinjian Pavilion's decline to prosperity and has come to where she is today.

Looking at Tan Tai Yao's back and profile, he felt more and more that this person's outline was exactly the same as the mottled and yellowed portrait hanging in his master's room.

Time makes people grow old and always ruins beauty.

It is said that it is rare for people to live past seventy!

Without practicing martial arts, only a very small number of people can live beyond seventy years old.

As for the great innate warrior, his whole body is flawless and he has qi nourishing and replenishing his body all year round, but in the end he cannot enter the Yuandan stage. At the very most, he can only live to 120 years old.

For most people, their lives end before they reach the age of 100.

And Xu Qin's master is Xu Nian.

She had supported the nearly dilapidated and completely fallen Qinjiange back then, and had worked hard to get it to where it is today. Now, she no longer had the gentle appearance in yellow clothes that she had seen in her childhood.

Instead, it means that one is old and ugly, and the end of one's life is approaching.

Just recently, when I saw her,
It was even impossible to stop the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body, and it was impossible to maintain the flow of Qi into the Huangting.

This means that within three years at most, dust will return to dust.

As a disciple brought up by Xu Nian, and most likely the next heir to Qinjian Pavilion, Xu Qin knew that her master had been waiting for a man who had never returned.

The reason why Xu Qin did not leave was because she felt that this gray-clothed strong man with the third-step cultivation who was following the person being wanted by the garrison was the person waiting for her in the portrait of her master!

Inadvertently,

Tan Tai Yao glanced at Xu Qin, and his eyes that were as sharp as fire saw through her true colors, but he said nothing.

Instead, he followed Chen Jing all the way and stepped into the solemn garrison mansion built of bluestone.

When Ji Xia brought Tan Tai Yao, stood here with great fanfare, and also took Chen Jing with him, and made bold statements, wanting to see the guard 'Chen Zhao'.

All the officials in the garrison were shocked.

The atmosphere in the air had even solidified overnight.

Inside and outside the three layers, there were lines of great innate aura suddenly rising, and the auras of countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the garrison began to emerge one after another.

But Chen Jing, who knew Tan Tai Yao's background well, looked around and couldn't help but yelled:
"Are you all crazy!?"

"A Yuandan wants to see the Black Mountain Guard. Why are you so tense? Be quiet and do your own thing!"

third step!
Chen Jing suddenly spoke up, calling out to the lurking masters and officials guarding the garrison, who immediately fell silent.

"Ji Xia, and this senior."

"I have sent people to summon my father, the Black Mountain garrison commander, Lord Chen Zhaochen."

"Please wait a moment."

"He is currently in the back hall, offering sacrifices to the martyrs. It may take some time."

Turning around, a bitter smile appeared on Chen Jing's handsome face.

"No need. It's me who wants to see the Black Mountain Guard, not Uncle Tan Tai. Why should I be so cautious?"

"It's just that there are some things that I need and want to discuss with the town guardian. That's all. There's no need to be so nervous."

When Ji Xia heard this, he couldn't help but smile indifferently.

Then, in front of Chen Jing's astonished eyes, he moved with ease and composure, as if he was strolling in his own back garden.

He ignored the masters lurking everywhere, and just walked in as if he knew the way.

"Wait a minute, Ji Xia, the garrison has been established for a hundred years, the terrain is complex, how can you know without someone to guide you?"

Chen Jing was about to speak, but Tan Tai Yao's eyes were deep, and before he could finish his words, he had already taken over the conversation:

"Don't worry. He knows better than anyone how to navigate the Black Mountain Tutelary Fort."

what?
What does this mean?

Everyone present, not only Chen Jing, but everyone else was also confused.

This stranger in front of him had never been to a garrison before, so how could he know the complicated and rugged roads and how to navigate them?
But by the way!
Ji Xia seemed to be born with the knowledge, avoiding many complicated roads and walking along the most correct one, leading directly to many pavilions and the direction of the "Song Temple"!
Has he been here before?
Chen Jingyi had a question mark on his forehead.

at the same time,

Tan Tai Yao looked at the thoughtful Xu Qin and suddenly spoke, seemingly casually:
"Your Master"

"Which one from Qinjian Pavilion?"

Xu Qin was stunned. Even though she was over 30 years old now, she still looked like a junior in front of this person. She couldn't help but say:
"Ah? Senior, do you have any connection with my Qinjian Pavilion?"

"My master, Xu Nian, is the master of Qinjian Pavilion. I don't know who you are, Senior."

Xu Qin, who had been observing him secretly, finally couldn't hold back any longer after Tan Tai Yao started talking to her:
"Do you have any past with our Sect Master?"

Hearing this, Tan Tai Yao's eyes revealed reminiscence:

"Are there any old ones?"

"I am Tan Tai Yao, formerly the elder who taught the Dharma in Qinjian Pavilion, yes."

There was some hesitation and hesitation in his eyes:

"Your master's master."

"According to reason, you should call me 'Master'?"

Grandmaster Tan Tai Yao?
Xu Qin's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but think of the nomination under the yellowed portrait, which was the three words "Dan Tai Yao".

Also, recorded next to the name, was a sentence written by Xu Nianjuan in beautiful small characters: "You will never get what you want."

Suddenly, it was reflected in Xu Qin's mind, making her heart as clear as a mirror!

"So the person Master is thinking of is actually the Grandmaster? Can..."

It seemed that he was aware of the turmoil in Xu Qin's heart.

Tan Tai Yao spoke:
"How has your master been doing in recent years?"

Xu Qin woke up from her memories and shook her head:

"Master, I'm afraid your time is coming."

She seemed to be hesitant to speak, and looked at Tan Tai Yao again:

"If you have some free time, why don't you go back to the mountain and take a look?"

The deadline is approaching!

Four big characters, called Tan Tai Yao's one arm, suddenly trembled, and his fist clenched unconsciously, as if his mood had undergone drastic fluctuations.

But after a moment, he couldn't help but let go, his eyes unconsciously recalling the past, recalling the reflection before he left.

The woman in a goose yellow dress, with gentle brows and bright eyes, turned her back to him and opened her arms, embracing the entire Qinjian Mountain.

On the one hand, she made a promise with him that after he left, she would remove the wasteland, plant the whole mountain with sunflowers, and then establish a "famous" sect that would be more powerful and grand than the Qinjian Pavilion that was destroyed by the dragon in the previous generation!
Then, one day, he will get what he wants, kill the dragon and come back full of energy.
From afar, you can see a brilliant scene that illuminates all the darkness in your heart.

But Tan Tai Yao failed to do so. Instead, he failed to break through and fell short at the last moment. He once again experienced the same helplessness as when he was trampled on the mountain by the dragon 'Gu Hua'.

He was too embarrassed to return to the mountain, and he didn't know how to face Xu Nian.

Not everyone in this world is a genius.

Not everyone can break through the fourth step smoothly.

However, the third step of Yuan Dan is enough to stop 90% of the qualified warriors in the world.

Xu Nian is one of them.

Xu Qin's few words.

It almost shattered Tan Tai Yao's already flawed state of mind into pieces.

Garrison, Song Temple!

Hearing the commotion outside.

Chen Zhao stood in front of the ancestral hall dedicated to Song Chaixin with his hands behind his back and his eyes narrowed, wondering what he was thinking.

"The temple is nice, who are you worshipping?"

Suddenly, an inappropriate young voice rang out.

When Ji Xia's figure slowly appeared from the end of the road, getting closer and closer, Chen Zhao hadn't made a move yet, but the officials and followers around him were already facing a formidable enemy:
"Be bold!"

"Who are you? Don't you know that this place is a shrine, and is the most important part of the garrison?"

There was a big innate breath exposed, just want to stop it, but Chen Zhao shook his head and waved his hand:
"No need for that. I came to the garrison with the third-step Yuandan."

"If the person outside wants to take action, who in such a huge garrison can stop him?"

With Chen Zhao's strength of the second step and the third realm of freedom, once his soul is opened, he can cover the garrison. Therefore, the existence of Tan Tai Yao, when it is not concealed, is more dazzling than the candlelight.

But I have experienced many ups and downs in my life and have seen all kinds of big scenes.

At this time, Chen Zhao was leaning on a crutch. He turned around without much fear on his face. He just stared at Ji Xia with a calm expression:
"Truly a hero comes from a boy."

"You are so young, yet you have been favored by such a powerful person. You are definitely not an ordinary person."

"I have heard from my son about your matter."

At this point, Chen Zhao's eyes showed apology:

"I'm embarrassed for not being able to teach my child well."

"Afterwards, I will give you a satisfactory compensation, young man."

On both sides, followers, guards, and great innate masters surrounded Chen Zhao as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

But Ji Xia just walked up to Chen Zhao as if he was alone, as if he and the old man were of the same generation, and smiled unceremoniously:

"Why, the Black Mountain garrison commander wants to bully others by taking advantage of his power?"

"When children and grandchildren do something wrong, instead of asking them to pay for it, you just give them compensation. If compensation is useful, what is the need for the government and the Demon Hunting Bureau?"

"Or"

"Chen Zhenshou, do you also believe in the creed that whoever has the bigger fist has the bigger rules?"

Chen Zhao shook his head:

"I have no idea what my children and grandchildren do."

"But you and I are strangers, young man. If I can make amends, I would like to do my best."

"If you are really upset"

"I will not be partial to my children and grandchildren. Since Chen Gong has done such a sinful thing, he will definitely not be able to get his hands on the position of the governor. When he comes back, I will expel him from the palace and let his lineage fend for itself."

"At that time, young man, your hatred for him will no longer have anything to do with my Chen family. In addition, I will personally make up for you. How do you think?"

I saw Ji Xia staring at the vague outline of the "Song Chaixin" inside the "Song Temple".

Chen Zhao couldn't help but say:
"My friend, would you like to light a stick of incense?"

"The one enshrined inside is the previous guardian who purged the Black Mountain demons. His achievements are far greater than mine. If he were still alive today, I'm afraid he would be able to take the third or fourth step easily."

After hearing this, Ji Xia pretended to be surprised:
"Oh?"

"But I heard that the previous generation of the town guard was a 'taboo' and had committed an unforgivable crime. His achievements had long been completely erased. Why is it different from what the town guard said?"

Chen Zhao's eyes dimmed:
"It is completely false, just a rumor, don't take it seriously."

Hearing this, Ji Xia was thoughtful:
"In that case, I also have something top-secret to tell the town's lord. I wonder if the town's lord is willing to come in and listen to me face to face?"

"Oh?"

Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"Appreciate further details."

After that, he and Ji Xia entered the temple together, and faced each other in front of the golden Eight Immortals Table. Just as they were about to light three incense sticks,
But suddenly, a shocking statement was heard from one side:

"Chen Zhao."

"Fifty-seven years ago, when I entered Black Mountain, I never saw you being so courageous."

"After all, times have changed and people's hearts are easily changed."

"You are in a high position, so you are used to calling the shots. This position of guarding and supporting others makes you imitate those demons, warriors, and officials who were once subdued by my punches."

"Do you also want to trample on the rules of Black Mountain City?"

Wow!

Chen Zhao clenched his crutches tightly and raised his head first!
When he looked at the statue of 'Song Chai Xin' on the top which had never changed, no vision appeared.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at Ji Xia who was standing under the statue of Song Chai Xin. He didn't know when his expression had completely changed.

Then his eyes slowly widened, he looked around, and fell into a long silence.

The figure of the young man in scarlet clothes from the past and the young man in front of him with the same expression slowly overlapped.

Chen Zhao's face twitched and his eyes became dazed:

"Song Zhenshou?"

Even if the faces are no longer the same.

But these words, this look.
It took him a moment to make a judgment!
Looking at Chen Zhao, who looked much older than before, Ji Xia couldn't help but blurt out the name, and smiled:

"You can recognize me?"

"It seems like you don't want to continue listening to what was said fifty-seven years ago."

Without any hesitation, he sat down at the Eight Immortals Table for sacrifice.

Ji Xia even grabbed a handful of tribute and stuffed it into his mouth without any reverence.

After all, this is the world.

How can I respect myself?
Looking at Chen Zhao who had a dazed look on his face, Ji Xia raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Originally, he was afraid that there might be hidden dangers after the showdown, so he wanted to contact the Xie Mansion for backup.

But if there is Tan Tai Yao to back him up.
What else is there for him to be afraid of in this small piece of land in Heishan?

Even if Chen Zhao doesn't recognize him!
He walks sideways just as well!
Chen Gong returned to the garrison with his daughter Chen Qingping, sweating profusely.

Just now.

He suddenly received a "transfer order" from the old man, asking him to return with his daughter as soon as possible.

I thought carefully about the reasons along the way.

Without thinking too much, I knew that most likely what I did today was exposed.

But this was also expected. After all, things had come to this point and there was no other way except to cut the Gordian knot.

Just when Chen Gong was thinking about how to excuse himself and his daughter.

When he stepped into the main hall of the garrison.

Suddenly, a muffled voice like thunder was heard:

"You unworthy descendant, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Ji!"

He was so shocked that he looked up immediately and saw old man Chen Zhao, who was furious with him!

If it were just this, it wouldn't be shocking.

But the old man is by my side.
The one sitting in the main seat.
He was dressed in black and looked extremely young!

Exactly————

Summer season!
