Chapter 94: Soaring to the sky, please ask Ji Xia to enter the official register from the clerk, and then be listed as the "Black Mountain Guardian"! !
Aquarius State!
The grand ancient pass that was once established by the 'Great Demon Lord' by drinking from the West Sea and measuring it with a whip had already been breached once during the earth-shaking turmoil decades ago.

After that, even though the wall was repaired, the three "demon-suppressing officials" who once belonged to the "Great Wall" and established three city gates were either defeated in the first Aquarius Unrest or disappeared without a trace.

Up to now, because Empress Da Zhao has not appeared for a long time, undercurrents have been surging among various factions in Shenjing, and the power struggle is serious. No one is willing to come in person to rebuild the Great Wall to Suppress Monsters.

With the end of the era of the previous state lord 'Pei Nanbei' and the demon-hunting general 'Ye Cang'.

Aquarius State has not recovered its vitality for decades.

The real people in the fourth step, including the government and the underworld, are less than two palms at most!
At this time.

Northwest wilderness.

The three great demon ancestral temples branched out into eighteen branches!
Follow the 'Seven Prefectures of Aquarius State' and go straight down!

Then,
During the first hundred years of the establishment of Dazhao.

The 'Second Aquarian Unrest' has begun!
The ancestral court of the three major demons, the Jinghe Dragon Court, once controlled all the creatures in the sea, so all shrimps, crabs, fish, and snakes were allowed to enter.

The Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, all the birds and beasts on land, belong to it.

It was formed after the demon lineage was expelled by Da Zhao, and several demon kings of the same blood united together to form this group for mutual support, and it is a mixed group of good and bad people.

It is said that there are seventy-nine caves, inheriting seventy-nine magic lineages leading directly to the "Demon King", but it is unknown how many there are in total.

The Great Snow Mountain is the descendant of the Blood Fox King 'Yousu'. It is rumored that they have 'demon fairy blood' passed down. The population is sparse, and there are very few fourth-step people in each generation.

However, every generation of the Great Snow Fox can accumulate its bloodline and store it on the altar on the mountain.

As a result, every generation of heirs, as long as they digested their accumulation and stood on the Great Snow Mountain, could be called "invincible within five steps". Therefore, no one could break through the Great Snow Mountain. It was known as the most remote place in the world and the ancestral home of the Northwest Fox Clan.

This time,
As an advance guard.

In the past few decades in the Jinghe Dragon Court, a new breakthrough was made, opening up a new lineage of the "Ancient Hua Demon King";
Together with the 'Golden Peng Demon King' of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, they came out of the mountains and, along with the mighty demon army, fought against the new lord of Aquarius State and the demon-hunting general!

And then defeat them, causing them to be seriously injured and flee far away!
The defeat of a provincial governor in one of the government states led to the arrival of several Taoist masters from Aquarius State. However, they were defeated by the 'Lord of the Great Snow Mountain' Song Fanjing who burned his royal blood and fought three against one, winning the battle!
Aquarius, a great defeat!

At this point, the state capital fell completely!
And
The coalition forces of various demon veins broke into the mansions and cities, attacked the famous families and orthodox sects, occupied the mountains and became kings, and there was an endless stream of them!
among them.

The 'Xuanqing Dragon Vein' under the command of the Ancient Hua Demon King intends to march straight into Wutong Mansion. Under the instruction of the Demon King, it wants to wipe out the old grudge.

And Song Fanjing, the master of the Great Snow Mountain,

Then lead his troops and attack Yunluan!

The group of monsters from the northwest entered the Aquarius, causing all the monsters that had been dormant in the mountains and hills to become completely agitated.

For a moment, the seven prefectures and forty-nine cities of Aquarius were in chaos!
...

Black Mountain, the tutelary fort!

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are either hanging or inserted in weapon racks, creating a solemn scene.

In the solemn main hall.

Chen Zhao had a heavy expression on his face and was leaning on a cane. However, he did not sit in the main seat. Instead, he stood and followed a young man in black clothes, acting as a guard.

Long before Chen Gong and his daughter Chen Qingping arrived.

That's just how he is.

When the officials and guards in the garrison saw this scene for the first time, they were so frightened that their souls almost flew away.

No one knew what the garrison commander who had dominated Black Mountain for decades talked about with the former officer named Ji Xia during the half hour they entered the Song Temple.

All the people in the garrison only know
When Chen Zhao walked out of it.

As if possessed by a demon, he followed the warrior named Ji Xia closely and allowed himself to be commanded.

And the first time,

He sent someone to call back the original next-generation heir, the eldest son of the garrison, Chen Gong.

As soon as he arrived, he ordered everyone to kneel down on the spot, and even his legitimate daughter Chen Qingping was not spared.

"Pfft!"

Beside Chen Gong, Chen Qingping could no longer bear the pressure. Her body went limp and she knelt down.

This scene fell into the eyes of Ji Han, who had been following Tan Tai Yao and acting as an invisible person all the way. His eyes widened and he shouted that it was so refreshing!
He looked down at Chen Qingping, who was kneeling on the ground with a look of humiliation on his face, and felt waves of pleasure coming over him.

Is there anything more satisfying than seeing the culprit being forced to his knees?

Because he was feeling happy, Ji Han did not notice that Tan Tai Yao had seemed a little absent-minded after he finished chatting with the owner of Qinjian Martial Arts School, Xu Qin, and watched the owner leave.

Instead, he asked excitedly:

"Mr. Tan Tai, can you tell me what secrets my brother has?"

"It's shocking enough that he can know you, but how did he manage to make Black Mountain guard him and be willing to serve him?"

Tan Tai Yao glanced at Ji Han and said nothing.

The matter of Song Chai Xin is not secret, but there are too many secrets and involvements in his life. It would not be a good thing if more people knew about it.

"Father, I am an eighth-rank official, and Ji Xia is not even a commoner. How can he be qualified to be called 'sir'? Why should I kneel to him?"

Seeing Chen Qingping use up all his strength and fall down, with all his former pride gone, Chen Gong held his breath and straightened his back.

Chen Zhao is at the peak of the second step, but he is old and weak. Even if his spirit and soul are better nurtured than his, Chen Gong is, after all, a middle-aged warrior with vigorous energy and blood.

It's unlikely to defeat him for no reason.

Normally, I just have to bow my head to the old man.

But what Chen Gong couldn't accept was that the old man had specially called him here today just to kowtow to Ji Xia? !

Who is he? Does he have the nerve to ask a future guardian to kneel down before him?
Chen Gong turned his head to glance at his second brother Chen Jing, who was well-behaved and never looked away, and cursed in his heart.

Wasn't he asked to kill Ji Xia?

And they brought so many people!
How could such a trivial matter be brought to the old man's attention?
Chen Gong, who was just sitting and drinking tea in the Demon Hunting Division, naturally didn't know about Tan Tai Yao's existence, so he didn't understand why Chen Jing was so cautious and didn't dare to say a word.

but
As Tan Tai Yao raised his hand, he gently pressed it down.

In just one breath, all the strength in Chen Gong's body seemed to be "deprived" of all its strength in an instant.

Even his knees couldn't help but break with a "crack", and he fell to the ground!
At this moment, he finally understood why Chen Jing, the leader of the eighth-rank military department, was so disciplined.

"Step three, step three?!"

Chen Gong lowered his head, his eyes widened, and looked at the middle-aged man in gray clothes who was hunting recklessly in disbelief, almost vomiting blood.

Where did such a person come from in this small town in the corner of the Black Mountain?
His eyes wandered between Ji Han, Ji Xia and Tan Tai Yao, looking back and forth. It was obvious that he knew these three people!

"People from the Wei residence said that Wei Zongchang was killed casually by a mysterious master. That man was dressed in gray. Gray clothes..."

Chen Gong murmured. Beside him, Chen Qingping had already been trembling slightly, like an eggplant hit by frost, and twisted in an instant.

She was not a fool, as she could think of assassinating Ji Han, concealing the truth, and sneaking into Yunluan Dojo. She figured out the details clearly in just a moment, just like her father.

So, she couldn't help but cast her pair of pitiful watery eyes towards Chen Zhao who was guarding him.

however,
Chen Zhao just turned a blind eye to this, his face cold and hard, as if the people kneeling below were not his children or granddaughters:
"Tell me, what right does he have to call you 'sir'? You are an eighth-rank official, so why would he accept your greetings, right?"

The old and frail Chen Zhao held the iron crutch horizontally, gathered his strength, and threw it into the air, hitting Chen Gong's head heavily, breaking his head and bleeding, and almost fainting:

"Then I will tell you why!"

"Chen Gong, I know all the things you did in the past by relying on my reputation, but I don't want to argue with you, but..."

"This time, you shouldn't have offended Ji Xia."

"Do you know that he and I are friends of equal generation?!"

"If I hadn't heard about this from Zhenwu by chance, are you still planning to conceal the truth and kill your uncle and your daughter Chen Qingping's grandfather? "

"Just like you"

"Can it also be called 'heir to the town'?"

And outside the garrison.

Xie Wutong was panting all the way. He first arrived at the bluestone alley, but found nothing.

Hearing that Ji Xia had turned the tide, he went straight to the garrison. He was in disbelief, but he hurried over, his hair wet with sweat. He happened to enter the garrison with Pei Luye and arrived at the door.
Then I heard what Chen Zhao said.

This time, let alone Xie Wutong.

Even Pei Luye from Yunluan Mountain, with a pair of bright and clear eyes, in addition to being flawless, finally showed an emotion called "astonishment".

She and Xie Wutong looked at each other.

The eyes of the two seemed to be filled with doubts about this world.

Montenegro Guard
He was from the same era as Sword Master Yunluan and was nearly a hundred years old!
He said, who are you dating?

Xie Wutong couldn't help but raise his head and look outside. He saw Ji Xia sitting calmly in the right seat, while Chen Zhao hit Chen Gong with his crutch, causing him to have a bloody head!
That's the heir to the tutelary fort!
And he is a master in the Free and Easy Realm!

Just kneel on the ground like this?
Doesn't he have any dignity at all?

Even if Chen Zhao is his father, he may not be able to suppress him!
"There is a third-step expert present!"

"It's him."

"He is suppressing Chen Gong, so that even if he is furious, he can only hold it in his stomach!"

"This gray-clothed Yuandan should be on Ji Xia's side."

"I ask a Yuan Dan to protect me, and I can be friends with the same generation as the garrison commander?"

"This kid is really capable!"

Pei Luye looked at Tan Tai Yao with a serious brow.

But what shocked them even more was
After Chen Zhao finished saying all this, he actually openly placed the 'garrison order', 'city official seal' and 'sword to kill villains' in front of Ji Xia!
All of a sudden, everyone in the garrison who witnessed it all started whispering to each other!

"Master Town Guard, what does this mean!?"

"The garrison commander can dispatch soldiers and civilians from Black Mountain City, the seal of the city officials, can be in charge of promoting officials, behead treacherous people, and can execute first and report later."

"These three represent the three official symbols of the seventh-rank guardian authority!"

"Could it be that"

Someone had a bold guess in his mind.

really!

next moment!
Chen Zhao's clear voice suddenly rang out:
"You said you are an eighth-rank official, and he is just a commoner, Ji Xia, you are not worthy to ask you to kneel, is that right?"

"So."

"I am going to tell you that today, I will pass on the position of 'Guardian of Black Mountain' to him!"

"Zhenwu!"

Chen Zhenwu was startled: "Old man."

To be honest, he was already confused now and had no idea what his father was going crazy for.

"The name of the Jixia official has not been removed and is still on the official register, right?"

Chen Zhenwu choked: "Well, because the time is still short and there is no precedent, it is indeed still there."

After hearing this, Chen Zhao made the decision without saying anything:

"Then, we will promote him from a clerk to an official and move him directly to the garrison. I will contact the Venerable Zheng Zizhen of Wutong Mansion to discuss the position of the next Black Mountain Garrison Commander..."

"It's Ji Xia's turn, of course!"

boom! !

This sound fell.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Chen Gong, whose head was covered in blood, and Chen Qingping were stunned by the blow.

The father and daughter couldn't figure it out from beginning to end.

He is an old man who lives in seclusion and has reached the end of his life, and basically doesn't care about worldly affairs.
Why would they suddenly pass the position to an outsider? !

Chen Gong suddenly struggled hard:

"Old man, are you crazy? Did this kid drug you or trick you?!"

"This position of guardian has belonged to my Chen family for decades. Moreover, the position of guardian of each major city is not given to outsiders for no reason. He is only at the foundation-building stage. How can he be qualified for this position? How can the city government agree to this?"

It was obvious that the day before, he could still call the wind and rain and become the future master of Black Mountain City.

In just one day, this dream will be shattered!
The gap in Chen Gong's heart was so great that it was hard to describe in words!

Again, he
How can I accept this?!
Thump, thump!

However, at this time Chen Zhao had a cold face and walked over quickly.

Chen Gong's anger was suppressed by Tan Tai Yao and he couldn't move.

"The position of guardian has belonged to my Chen family for decades?" Chen Zhao lowered his head, looked at his eldest son, and smiled, with an unclear emotion in his smile.

Simultaneously
He slowly raised his skinny fingers.

Then, he pointed at Chen Gong's "Huangting", first breaking his Dantian, and then making him lack the skill, causing his Vajra body to shrivele. From then on, his cultivation level plummeted!
Suddenly, Chen Gong's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Chen Zhao would be so cruel to him. Coupled with the injury to his head, he fainted immediately.

“Grandpa, you!!”

Chen Qingping, who was standing at the side, was so frightened when he saw this that he turned pale. Unable to bear the blow, he fainted on the spot!
Only Chen Zhao, with a complicated expression on his face, whispered in a tone that only he could understand:
"Master, this is ridiculous"

"What do you know?"

He hunched over, recalling that dark night decades ago.

On the official road, the spirited young man in black, together with the contemporary master of the Yunluan Sword, single-handedly challenged the entire Black Mountain City!
that,
But he is much more romantic and ambitious than Chen Gong.

"Where are the other masters of this Black Mountain City?"

"From beginning to end,"

"They all have the surname Song!"

I think of the secret conversation in Song Temple.

Chen Zhao couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

It really is that person who has returned.

so.
Not to mention he is an unhappy son.

Even if he was asked to commit suicide to repay the kindness, he would definitely not hesitate!
Not to mention his Chen family, they were in the wrong from the beginning to the end!

Don’t destroy these two unfilial descendants!

How can we defend Song?
An explanation?!

(ps: I took my girlfriend to Disneyland. This is a draft. I will write more when I get back. 111.)
