"Master Jiang, I completely understand your concerns," An Si Nian, sitting in the warm spring-like elegant room, diligently brewed the fragrant spirit tea and carefully consoled him, "The clients I am looking for are all kind-hearted. "Senior, there are not many such people in the world of Li Zong, but you have to believe me. What we businessmen fear the most are those who will retaliate for their anger. Only by being friendly can we make money." He showed an old smile that did not match his age, "So, Look at this"
"I need to see people first. I hope the reward will be spiritual talismans, non-standard ones." Seeing people is necessary for Jiang Feng. If he is a mortal with three spiritual roots or above, there is absolutely no way to awaken the Dharma in a short time. Yes, the amount of spiritual energy in the body can only support pulling out one spiritual root at a time.
"That's no problem. Don't worry about the magic talisman. I'll take care of it."
The night is like water.
An Sinian led the way, and the two of them passed through Guangyou Zhenwu Street, turned to the Xishan area of Zhenwu City, and walked along the neat winding mountain road. The families living here were either rich or noble, so skimming was prohibited, but what was the scenery along the way? Okay, even halfway up the mountain, you can have a bird's eye view of the lights of half of Zhenwu City, which is quite beautiful.
This is a green brick courtyard that is not too big. Compared with the surrounding neighbors, this private house is simple and quiet. Judging from the fact that the owner lets the maple leaves spread all over the courtyard, it looks like a demon culture cultivator who is heavily influenced by human culture. The so-called literary cultivators refer to a type of demon cultivators who believe in purity, nature, and immortality through inaction compared to martial cultivators who like fighting and killing. In the "martial arts" cultural atmosphere of Li Zong, this is very rare. On the contrary, in Yufeng in the north Yes, there is a huge market.
The reception room is quite elegantly decorated, reminding Jiang Feng of his experience of stealing treasures in the human race's "Lechuan". Fine sandalwood is burning in the room, diluting the rush of the journey. On the marble altar table in the center of the main hall, hanging A seven-foot-long portrait of "True Lord Guangyou". From this point of view, the owner of the family is probably his descendant.
"This is the Master Jiang I mentioned before." An Sinian went with the housekeeper who received the two of them for a while, and then brought back an old man with a gray beard who looked like a Confucian scholar.
"This is Elder Xiao, the owner of Tanxiangju." Men of letters usually give their study rooms an elegant name and also call themselves the owner of the study. It seems that Elder Xiao also has this hobby.
"Jiang Xiaobai, a casual cultivator, has met Elder Xiao." Since he is an elder, Jiang Feng naturally needs to perform the junior ceremony. Moreover, the other party also has an almost undetectable earth-level aura on his body.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm Xiao Daoyan. I just studied for a few more years. You don't have to be polite." Elder Xiao had a warm look on his face. Judging from his conversation, he was undoubtedly a literary cultivator. If he was a martial arts cultivator, he would probably say, " I have been practicing Qigong for several years.”
The three of them and the housekeeper chatted for a while, and then Jiang Feng understood the whole story.
The Xiao family is one of the five original families of Li Zong. Xiao Daoyan is not the head of the family, but because he serves as the deacon of the outer gate of Li Zong, he has become one of the backbone of the family. Although the number of deacons of the outer gate of Li Zong is said to be eight, he Because he is in charge of his disciples' entrance exams and promotions to the inner sect, he ranks third and is actually quite powerful.
Yi Ansnian introduced along the way that Xiao Daoyan was actually a pure-hearted and stoic person. Although he was of noble birth and belonged to the descendants of the White Fox clan of the sixth wife of True Monarch Guangyou, he always acted in a low-key manner and rarely regarded himself as a nobleman. Regarding the Dharma of the descendants of the family Awakening also adopts the attitude of "let nature take its course", so among the disciples of his lineage, the number of monks has always been the smallest.
Xiao Daoyan's grandson originally had a monk who naturally awakened to the Dharma, and was already included in the outer sect of the Power Sect. However, he was injured in a private fight with a junior from the Qianshan Sect half a year ago. Since then, his cultivation has stagnated. Even if he takes the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure,
He couldn't make any further progress. He hired famous doctors several times but failed to detect any clues.
"Aren't you causing trouble for the Qianshan Sect?" Jiang Feng thought of the Ren Xiaolong case and thought it couldn't be such a coincidence.
"No, I just sent an official letter asking about the situation. When children fought, both parties were responsible, but there was no further investigation."
Although the equally old butler has been showing off his family background in a roundabout way, his attitude is as humble as the master, "Later I heard that the Qianshan Sect had detained the disciple for three months, so we didn't ask further. Speaking of which, Ming Bao and that person
We are still good friends, but when I heard about this, I felt ashamed. If we hadn't been blocking him because of his stagnant cultivation, we would have come to help him out a long time ago."
It turned out to be Ren Xiaolong.
If the other party had not lied, what Wang Xiandao said about Li Zong causing trouble simply did not exist. He was probably using official documents to suppress the original family and at the same time test his own bottom line. Thinking of this, a trace of annoyance arose spontaneously, but it was very short.
He was quickly suppressed by Jiang Feng. The matter has been settled in the Qianshan Sect. There is no need to dwell on this matter and create complications.
"So, I have been persuading Elder Xiao to choose another disciple to awaken the Dharma. From this, I thought of Master Jiang. My nephew's Dharma was awakened by Master Jiang." An Sinian promptly changed the topic and started from
Judging from the fact that he took the initiative to talk about the matter again, it seemed that he was probably pushing the matter, and the other party's wishes were not very strong. The Xiao family has a prominent background, and Ansnian probably just wanted to use it to cling to a big tree.
"Bring Mingzhen, Mingpu and Minghan here." Xiao Daoyan thought for a long time, sighed, and finally made up his mind.
Three young men were brought over, and they saluted one after another. Two men and one woman, Mingpu and Minghan were boys, dressed as scholars; Mingzhen had beautiful long hair, a goose-yellow dress, and was a little reserved in his movements, but his appearance was similar to that of Ansnian.
The women in the store are somewhat similar. Although several of them have not awakened to Dharma, the support from their families still keeps them at the peak of the first level of the spiritual level. Compared with ordinary mortals, not only are their temperaments very different, but also the ones they wear on their bodies.
Things are also full of spiritual energy.
The eyes were filled with blue light and purple, which was really luxurious. Jiang Feng looked at it with the "Linglong Baoguang" and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There are very few high-end magic weapons that can be used by the first level spiritual level, but this does not prevent wealthy families from creating magic weapons with attributes such as [reducing demand] and [building health] for ordinary children. The Xiao family seems to be low-key, but in fact, when it comes to their children,
Instead, he was willing to throw away money, which made Jiang Feng have to wonder what the underlying reason for Xiao Daoyan's hesitation was. It was not something that could be concealed by the word "literary repair".
There are four Dharma signs of Mingzhen, six Dharma signs of Mingpu, and two Dharma signs of Minghan. Jiang Feng pretended to ask each person a few questions about cultivation, secretly activated the phase separation technique, checked the three Dharma signs, and took out a fist-sized black bead.
This was the one he had previously prepared to dangle in front of the three people in order to defraud money, but he had already decided on the target in his mind. This ordinary bead with no aura in his hand would not have any reaction.
Jiang Feng just wanted a sense of ceremony.
"Just little friend Minghan." He pointed at Xiao Minghan and gave his choice. With two Dharma images, he would naturally not choose the other two.
Xiao Minghan's standing figure swayed obviously, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at Xiao Daoyan and the housekeeper, "Grandpa, this"
"Isn't it possible to be clear, Fellow Daoist Jiang?"
"No, this actually depends on God's will." Jiang Feng deliberately looked at the black beads, meaning that this was not my choice.
"Minghan, it's God's will. Just ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to take a look at it for you."
"yes."
The style of painting is wrong. Jiang Feng suddenly felt that something was fishy. Shouldn't he jump up and cheer? It is a great good thing that ordinary people have the opportunity to practice. Why does this person seem to be in pain like "hurt and parting"? Is it possible that they don't have a little bit of it?
Entrepreneurial spirit?
It was obviously unreasonable, so I suppressed the doubts in my mind and started to cast the spell.
The ceremony went quite smoothly. With the previous experience of "casting spells" and subsequent practice, Xiao Minghan's "Jade Ruyi" dharma image quickly turned into a drop of spiritual liquid in the golden gourd, leaving only the "animal skin war drum"
The Dharma image absorbed the spiritual energy of the spiritual pool alone. Xiao Minghan, who fell asleep afterwards, was also specially taken care of.
"Elder Xiao, we will stay here for a while." Ansnian had previous experience and naturally knew that it would take several days for Xiao Minghan to wake up.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I still trust Daoist friend An. If Minghan really awakens to the Dharma, I will arrange for Butler Li to send a heavy gift to the Immortal Residence."
"It's my blessing to be able to help Elder Xiao." Jiang Feng knew that An Sinian still needed to be polite for a while, or that he still had some secrets to talk about that he didn't want him to know, so he found an excuse to "change clothes"
, left the secret room, waited until he turned around, and stood under the eaves with Butler Li, waiting for the two of them.
Dawn had just broken, and the blue sky was sparsely scattered with a few remaining stars.
During the chat, Jiang Feng deliberately mentioned Xiao Mingbao. He was quite interested in this person who had contact with the Qianshan Sect, especially the fact that his cultivation level could not advance even an inch. It was very strange. Could it be that he was killed by the Black Snake?
Is he possessed by a spirit? Is Ren Xiaolong capable of this?
The cheeks are dark and thin, the eyes are dull, and the whole person is paralyzed on the bed, struggling to sit up, just like the people who are rumored to use forbidden drugs or practice magic skills, as if their bodies have been drained by invisible forces. You can imagine what would happen if
Without the Xiao family's large investment in elixirs and elixirs, Xiao Mingbao would have become nothing more than dirt.
"Are you injured?" Jiang Feng naturally would not mention Ren Xiaolong.
"So so." In order to comfort Xiao Mingbao, Butler Li just introduced Jiang Feng as a doctor. These days, Xiao Mingbao has seen a lot, and he has no joy or sadness. Even Butler Li left on his own after the introduction. It seemed,
The Xiao family has probably given up on Xiao Mingbao.
"I fought with others, but I didn't suffer any serious injuries. I got sick for no apparent reason when I came back." His voice was slightly high-pitched. Although it became hoarse due to the illness, it sounded strange.
Inexplicable? No injuries? It doesn't seem to be because of Ren Xiaolong. "Where are you fighting?"
"Fuyuan Town of Qianshan Sect."
Fuyuan Town? In my impression, it is just one of the sixty ordinary towns. Even if it is not among the candidates for promotion to a county, this town is not there. Is there anything special there? Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jiang Feng opened the "Divide"
"Xiangshu", through the white mist, a red tree-like coral appeared in front of the eyes. It was obviously a single method. Before the accident happened, it was said that Xiao Mingbao's cultivation had reached the seventh level of the spiritual level. It was nothing special, although it was not a combat method.
, but it should be considered a good auxiliary class.
wrong.
Jiang Feng was about to turn off the "Phase Separation Technique" when he discovered that there was a faint black air lingering at the roots of the coral. The black air was not obvious at first glance, flowing slowly in the middle of the porous coral body, as the coral absorbed the spiritual fluid.
The spiritual energy, the black energy, also accelerated its flow, taking away a trace of spiritual energy from the coral and connecting it to the void space without a trace.
What's this?
Jiang Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable trembling in his heart, as if someone had grabbed his heart. When he looked carefully, the black air seemed to have a corrosive effect, stinging Jiang Feng's eyes.
He quickly turned off the spell and took a step back. The depressing feeling in his heart had just dissipated. Looking at Xiao Mingbao again, the expression on his face seemed to be a little gloomier.
"Master, it's time to take medicine." The maid waiting outside the door had already brought the elixir over. Jiang Feng stepped aside and said, "Your condition is very strange. I have to think about it a little more."
"Thank you, doctor." Xiao Mingbao cheered up and clasped his fists on the bed as a salute. For such a young doctor, he had no hope at all, but he had a strange feeling just now, but he hadn't felt it carefully yet.
Disappeared again.
Is my illness so serious that I have started to have hallucinations? He thought to himself.
When Xiao Mingbao came out of the courtyard where the patient was sick, Jiang Feng was about to turn around to find An Sinian, but suddenly a figure flashed out from the corner, frightening Jiang Feng. In a courtyard with earth-level experts, Jiang Feng did not dare to let him out rashly.
The shadow comes to explore the way.
"Girl, why is it you?"
The person who came was none other than Xiao Mingzhen, the woman from the Xiao family who had been waiting for Jiang Feng's appraisal.
"Master, please help me awaken the Dharma." Xiao Mingzhen suddenly knelt down, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. His long goose-yellow dress had been replaced by black clothes, but it was already bright and he could not be completely hidden in the darkness.
"This..." What's the situation? Jiang Feng was completely confused. Looking at Xiao Minghan's behavior before, he seemed to be extremely reluctant. Now, why has Xiao Mingzhen's attitude reversed?
