Chapter 189: All Taoist Companions
The great way is flawed, the earth and the sky are connected, and all the immortals will perish.

Could it be that it is related to the treasures held by the various immortal sects?
Although Jiang He had read the original text, the world he traveled to seemed like the dark side of the original text.

The story in the original text is about three protagonists with different backgrounds who climb to the top of the world of cultivation step by step and break through the limits of this world. The treasures they possess are even more glamorous and bright, typical golden fingers.

The original text states that the Xuan Huang Pearl was forged by a real dragon. Now, according to Yuan Xia's statement, it is a bit like the Spring and Autumn style of writing, omitting other things. The Xuan Huang Pearl may not only be forged by a real dragon.

"Yuan Xia, has the Xuan Huang Pearl affected you?"

Jiang He glanced at the black-haired girl and saw her brows furrowed, and asked anxiously.

Don't let Yuan Xia become violent.

Bai Minxin alone is enough of a headache, and if Yuanxia is different from Minxin, if she is infected with anger, I am afraid I will die miserably.
"A little bit, but it's okay."

Jiang Yuanxia was also shocked.

She couldn't tell anything was wrong from watching from a distance, but once Fang got started, she could feel her emotions being provoked.

The suppressed desire to hurt Minxin surged up again.

But this desire did not last long, as it was controlled by her powerful soul.

After all, the desire hidden in her body is much greater than this.

Jiang Yuanxia didn't know whether she should be happy or not, but she immediately thought of the important matter.

There was a hint of hesitation on his face: "Master, do you want to use the Xuanhuang Pearl to deal with the people from Qingyang Immortal Sect? But how?"

"Girl, you always feel like the world is against you and you can only deal with your own enemies?"

Jiang He took the Xuanhuang Pearl.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the black-haired girl's face, revealing her panic-stricken and helpless expression.

But I think Yuan Xia must be very lonely living alone in the Shanfa Hall.

Besides, this girl's character is weak.

The black-haired girl pouted slightly, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Over the years, Yuan Xia has been surrounded by enemies. What can Yuan Xia do?"

Hearing this, Jiang He sighed:

"This is Master's fault. If I had known that you were being controlled by the Snake Lord using the Sea Hell Nightmare, and had been more careful, perhaps we would have been living peacefully somewhere else today."

"If it weren't for that, Yuan Xia really wanted to kill Master."

Her voice was not loud, even sounding unreal, but her words were clear.
"The Sea Hell Nightmare just made me ignore the consequences."

Bai Minxin glanced at Jiang Yuanxia in shock, who had a calm expression. The timid senior sister raised her eyes and looked at her master, never avoiding his gaze from beginning to end.

What’s wrong with you today, Senior Sister? Why do you keep trying to irritate Master?
What Bai Minxin understood, Jiang He naturally understood as well.

However, Yuan Xia's direct eye contact actually alleviated some of Jiang He's inner confusion.

At least this way, Yuan Xia is trying to be honest with herself.

After thinking about it, Jiang He said in a heavy tone:
"Now, do you forgive me?"

The gradually slowing heartbeat in Jiang Yuanxia's chest seemed to have lost its strength. She was restless and murmured:
"In fact, it was Master who didn't forgive Yuan Xia."

She killed the wrong person and put someone else's responsibility on him.

And the master had always tried his best to take care of them, but he ruined everything in a flash and hurt them terribly.

Even now I still want to hurt them.

"What?"

Jiang He asked subconsciously.

The black-haired girl finally opened her mouth and said something, but her voice was so soft, so soft that Jiang He suspected she just moved her lips.

I couldn't help but want to slap myself.

At such a critical moment, the news was missed.

"Okay, it's nothing. Master, what you mean is, let others deal with it, and then you use the Xuanhuang Pearl to intercept the true spirit and then frame him?"

Jiang Yuanxia also understood what Jiang He meant.

On second thought, it is indeed possible.

The disciples of Qingyang Immortal Sect are hated by everyone in Zhuming Territory, and Saint Yuehua will not show mercy if he encounters them.

"Yes, you should be able to understand the threat that the Xuanhuang Pearl poses to the Qingyang Immortal Sect. I suspect that one of the reasons why the Zhuming Immortal Sect designed this treasure was to deal with the Qingyang Immortal Sect. The two sects have always had a grudge against each other."

Jiang He played with the Xuanhuang Pearl in his hand, and the pearl became slightly hot.

He couldn't help but rub it again with his thumb, but found it became even hotter.

He took a look at it in surprise and found that it was the place where Zhao Qiujun's spirit was engraved.

The human figure was engraved vividly, even the shame and anger on his face were clearly displayed.

Jiang He didn't indulge the young lady at all. He rubbed her until she felt hot.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's really possible."

Jiang Yuanxia's face was also tinged with shame.

Just now, she didn't believe that Master and Minxin could help at all, and she used blunt words to evade the question.

But, isn't Master afraid that he might reveal this secret, or want to kill people to steal the treasure?
I stabbed my master in the back, but he still trusted me.

She made up her mind and said softly:
"Yuan Xia also has a backup plan. The former chief of Xuanying Immortal Sect has agreed to help me. He has extraordinary combat power. Although he has just entered the Jindan stage, he can easily deal with ordinary Jindan mid-level cultivators. He can also fight against Jindan late-stage cultivators for hundreds of moves without being defeated."

萧黯
Jiang He had a headache when it came to the other protagonist.

This guy is more difficult to deal with than the poor Lin Chi of the past.

However, the main threat now is not Xiao An. He will at least wait until Yuan Xia's cultivation is more profound before using her to sacrifice the sword.

Jiang He opened his mouth and reminded:

"Yuan Xia, the people of Xuanying Immortal Sect have always been as firm as a rock in their Taoism and advocate the principle of forgetting emotions. Although you have made considerable achievements in cultivation, you are still too young. Don't be fooled by him."

"Deceive? Master, do you mean that you don't want me to get too close to him?"

Jiang Yuanxia said thoughtfully, raising his eyes slightly.

"That's right."

Jiang He smiled awkwardly, it seemed as if he had a strong desire to control his apprentice.

He patched it up: "The main thing is that he is very dangerous! If he were an ordinary person, Master wouldn't care too much."

What surprised Jiang He was that the black-haired girl in front of him seemed a little disappointed when she heard his words.

"Let's not talk about Xiao An for now. I have already made arrangements for the Qingyang Immortal Sect. However, to avoid any eventuality, you should come with me when the time comes."

Jiang He thought about it.

Qiao Song was now in his hands, and the information he told him only let Qiao Qiao know that it was the stronghold of Yuehua Palace, but he didn't know that Yuehua Saint was there and had discovered the traces of Qingyang Immortal Sect.

Given his arrogant character, he will most likely fall into the trap.

"Well, then, Master, are you going to sleep here tonight, or go to Yuanxia Palace?"

Jiang Yuanxia entangled her fingers with the hem of her skirt, looking hesitant.

She didn't want her master and junior sisters to go to the palace because it was too dark and bloody. Even though they already knew her image, she still didn't want them to see with their own eyes what she had done.

But since her master and junior sister had come, she couldn't ignore them. It wouldn't be good to let them live in the outer disciples' quarters while she lived in the high and mighty palace. That would be very lonely.

"Go ahead."

Jiang He was curious about what Yuan Xia's palace looked like, but as soon as he said two words, Yuan Xia started to tremble. Uh, okay.

Generally speaking, someone like Yuan Xia, who is sensitive and has social phobia, probably wouldn't want others to go to her residence?
“We live here”

Jiang He turned and continued.

The black-haired girl's skinny hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt and she lowered her head in disappointment.

hiss.
This is a bit difficult.

Fortunately, Bai Minxin couldn't hold back any longer, and took Yuan Xia's hand, shaking it non-stop:

"Senior Sister! You can live with us today! We haven't slept together for a long time."

"But, it's inconvenient for me to live here, right?"

Jiang Yuanxia said one thing but meant another, looking at him secretly.

"Yuanxia, ​​just sleep here. Minxin and Jiner miss you very much. Is everything fine recently?"

Jiang He made the final decision, but he himself had not thought it through carefully.

Yuan Xia's personality is such that she would not offer to stay here overnight.

But she wanted to sleep with her junior sister
"Well, I've had nothing to do these days." Jiang Yuanxia's slightly tense face relaxed.

"Great! Senior Sister, Master said that we will be staying in Yunxi Sect for the next few days, so you can stay here!"

Seeing the joy on both of their faces, Jiang He also put his worries aside.

Suddenly, he thought that he would have to deal with the affairs of Yunxi Sect for a while in the future, and it would not be good to let Susu take care of Jiner alone in the county city.

I have to bring Feng Susu and Jiner over later.

However, doing so would be too conspicuous in this place where many new cultivators gathered.

Although there are four people in total, excluding Yuan Xia, it does not violate the rules of Yunxi Sect.

But which casual cultivator would bring three girls here? It can't be that all of them are Taoist partners, right?
If Yuan Xia were to give orders directly, it would undoubtedly attract unnecessary attention.

But, everything else is easy to deal with, except what about Jiner?

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you going out to pick up your relatives?"

On the way back, I met the old Taoist priest from before.

It's no coincidence.

After settling down these wandering cultivators and other disciples of Yunxi Sect, they all went back one after another to pick up their relatives.

Jiang He nodded and replied, "He is actually my disciple, but he just wants to comply with the rules of Yunxi Sect."

The old Taoist smacked his lips and sighed:

"Alas, don't blame me for saying such harsh things. I am your disciple now, but it may not be the same after you enter Yunxi Sect. Daoist friend, don't think that Yunxi Sect does not allow independent cultivators to bring in disciples simply to avoid too many people?"

"I'm just looking for a reason to stop you from getting along as master and disciple in the sect, and then separate you in the future to make it easier to manage the independent cultivators. If we say it openly, some independent cultivators will resist. After all, even independent cultivators are concerned about their inheritance, especially independent cultivators like us who are proficient in skills and have a long family background."

Hmm. Jiang He was silent for a long time after hearing this.

This old Taoist is quite kind-hearted and what he said is true.

Among the independent cultivators, those with superb skills, apart from chance encounters, mostly rely on inheritance passed down from generation to generation.

The Yunxi Sect wants these people to be treated like slaves, but at the same time, they don't want them to form cliques or factions and have too close ties with each other.

Therefore, such a seemingly flawed system was set up to give independent practitioners a sense of luck.

Jiang He pondered for a while and reminded:
"You also know that Yunxi Sect and Yuehua Palace have extensive connections, and Yuehua Palace is obsessed with blood ties. If Yunxi Sect wants to please Yuehua Palace but is reluctant to use its own family members, it might target independent cultivators like us. If you bring your family members into the sect, you must be careful. Yunxi Sect specifically states that only relatives can be brought."

The old Taoist was shocked when he heard this, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he almost pulled off his beard.

He looked back and saw the Yunxi Mountain in the distance looming in the clouds and mist, with buildings scattered around and cranes flying among them, showing its righteous spirit.

"Yes, Yunxi Sect is no longer the Yunxi Sect of the past. But I still have a grandson who is only ten years old. What should I do? Forget it... Forget it..."

The old Taoist gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision in his mind.

"Oh? Fellow Taoist, you don't want to go anymore?" Jiang He couldn't help asking. The old Taoist's face turned blue and red, and he looked as disgusting as if he had eaten dog shit. No one knew what decision he had made.

He suddenly covered his face with his sleeves and sighed, "I don't want this old face anymore! The identity of a Taoist partner does not have any age or gender restrictions, and there are casual cultivators who like to molest boys. At most... as long as it is not recorded in the Yunxi Sect's books, I don't believe that Yuehua Palace will come after an old man like me."

Um.
Compared to life, what do these details matter?

I chatted with the old Taoist along the way and learned a lot about the customs and culture of Hezhou.

After arriving at the county town, the two went their separate ways.

In the yard, Feng Susu was pushing Jin'er on the swing.

The blonde girl was so excited that she seemed to be sitting on a swing, pushing harder and harder.

It almost made Jin'er parallel to the ground.

The little girl swinging in the air seemed expressionless, but her legs were tightly closed together and she clenched her teeth tightly. The outline of her masseter muscle was faintly visible on her white cheek.

"Jiang He! You're back, come on, you're strong, push Jin'er. Jin'er is having so much fun."

Feng Susu's eyes lit up and she waved to Jiang He.

The little girl immediately pouted, as if she was hanging on a weight, and the corners of her lips slowly turned down.

At the same time, he let go of his hand as if he had given up on himself.

As a result, she was thrown out the next moment.

"ah!"

Feng Susu's eyes widened in shock, and she immediately became flustered and waved her hands around.

Two stupid girls.
Jiang He slapped his forehead and rushed over.

He stretched out his arms and took the little girl in his arms.

With a gloomy face, he said, "You two, what are you doing? And Jin'er, why did you let go?"

Jin'er is silly, but not stupid.

Jiang He glanced at the little girl. Her face was pale with fright, and it didn't seem like she did it on purpose.

It’s all Feng Susu’s fault!

How come he is trying so hard? Even the old oxen plowing the fields don’t work so hard.

"Humph, I should have known not to let you bring Jin'er along."

Jiang He was so concerned that he couldn't help but speak a little more harshly.

Jin'er blinked her eyes and grabbed his clothes with her little hands, looking frightened.

"Jiang He, it's all my fault for trying too hard."

Feng Susu's face was paler than Jin'er's. She fell to the ground and kept wiping her tears.

She didn't expect this either.

Just now, she had been consciously using her spiritual power to protect Jin'er. When Jiang He came back, she stopped and wanted Jiang He to push.

Jin Er definitely wants to play with Jiang He more!

But unexpectedly, something happened at this moment.

I didn't practice today, and I carefully played with Jin'er all day, but why did this happen?
