There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 44 The continuation of the past (please collect and read)
  It’s been fifteen or sixteen years!

The daily hard training has long made Wang Ping forget about the county magistrate of Shu County. Although he almost killed the other party with Feng Miao's plan, if you calculate the time, the other party is almost sixty. If he is not a Qi practitioner, he will be like this At such an age, half of his body is already buried in the soil.

Is this still possible?

Wang Ping complained, but the matter still had to be investigated. He actually wanted to know what the county magistrate, oh no, Master Tongpan was up to this time.

However, his foundation building was currently at a critical stage, and it was impossible to investigate in person. After a little thought, he had a candidate, and that was his apprentice Yang Ziping who was training outside.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping asked the boy to find paper and pen and write two letters, one to Guangxuan of Sanhe Mansion and one to his apprentice Yang Ziping, and ordered Yang Ziping to go to Sanhe Mansion to find Guangxuan and ask him to help. Clear the relationship so that we can investigate this case.

He believed that because of Sanheguan's reputation, even if Yang Ziping encountered trouble while investigating the case, he would at most be expelled from Sanhe Mansion and his life would not be in danger.

The letter was written and sent out the next morning.

The next day, Wang Ping had just returned to the small courtyard on the top of the mountain after practicing "Every Grass and Trees Are Soldiers". A boy came to report that a Shangdan monk named Chengji was looking for him.

Wang Ping thought he heard it wrong, because Cheng Ji should be in seclusion inside the door to build his foundation at this time.

"I failed to build the foundation..."

After Cheng Ji and Wang Ping greeted each other, their first sentence explained why they were here: "Master asked me to go out for a walk. I didn't have anywhere good to go. I wandered around and ended up at Shang'an Mansion."

Wang Ping was asking people to go to the cellar to get some wine. He didn't react when he heard Cheng Ji's words. He was stunned and asked, "Did you build the foundation in advance?"

"Yes, I couldn't hold it back. After more than ten years of hard training, my mind changed, so I changed my mind and chose to build the foundation in advance." Cheng Ji said with a wry smile: "I thought I could succeed, because I had never done it before. I failed, but reality slapped me in the face..."

He exhaled and said with a wry smile: "In the end, I was just a few pieces of spiritual energy away from success. But at that time, the spiritual energy in my Qi Sea was empty, and the spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Formation was also empty. After eating the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Gathering Pill was empty. I’ve finished eating the Qi Dan... If my master hadn’t appeared in time, I might have had to start from scratch.”

Wang Ping was a little speechless after hearing this. He had endured more than ten years of poverty, but he suddenly trembled at the last moment. He asked with some uncertainty: "Are you now..."

"As I said just now, I went out to relax and then went back to continue building the foundation. I was lucky. I just lost some materials and the spirit gathering array was destroyed, but it doesn't matter. I'll be able to refine the elixirs in seclusion for five or six years. Get these materials back!"

When Wang Ping heard this, he could only respond with a relieved smile.

At this time, the boy brought over a jar of rice wine, which made Cheng Ji very greedy. He heard him say: "Feng Miao is right, your place is really a good place, not only the environment is good, but there is also good wine..."

The two of them unknowingly started chatting about some things around them. Wang Ping had nothing to talk about, and most of the time it was Cheng Ji who did the talking. From his mouth, Wang Ping learned that Feng Miao also went into seclusion to build a foundation ten years ago.

Then, the topic turned to the demon eradication in Shu County. Naturally, the topic turned to the information Wang Ping had just obtained yesterday. Cheng Ji immediately became interested when he heard it. He asked Wang Ping for a bottle of wine and a letter of introduction and went to find him. Yang Ziping met.

Wang Ping could tell that Cheng Ji was trying to find something to do so that he could forget about the failure of foundation building, so he did not retain him.

We stayed together peacefully for half a month.

On this day, Wang Ping was practicing "Every tree and grass are soldiers" when he was distracted by the sound of urgent footsteps.

Follow the sound...

It was Zhao Qing who rushed this way with an anxious look on his face.

Wang Ping's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he saw this, and he quickly took out the wild rice cup and threw a hexagram, but it was very normal, and it didn't look like something bad had happened.

Yu Lian noticed Wang Ping's emotional changes, and the clouds from the creek fell to Wang Ping's side.

"There are no shrimps in the river."

"I'll ask the boys in the temple to put some in another day." "Just today, I'll remind you when I go back."

"also!"

While the two were talking in the spiritual sea, Zhao Qing had already approached. He calmed down at first, and then said: "The news from Sanhe Watching Flying Pigeons..."

He handed a very thin piece of bamboo to Wang Ping and continued: "Senior nephew Ziping disappeared in Sanhe Mansion, and fellow Taoist Chengji was slightly injured!"

The first time Wang Ping heard the news, he couldn't believe it. He read the content of the letter as quickly as possible, and then negative emotions emerged uncontrollably in his emotions. Yu Lian quickly said in the spiritual sea: "I want to Be calm, only calm can handle things well."

"Do you have any details?" Wang Ping exhaled and made another divination, but still found no problem.

"I do not know either…"

Before Zhao Qing finished speaking, a young inner disciple ran over quickly. His running movement interrupted the conversation between the two senior fellow disciples.

"Master, uncle..."

"What's going on?" Wang Ping stopped the disciple who was saluting.

"Senior Brother Ziping is back, but he was sent back by a traveler who wanted to see you..."

...

Wang Ping met Yang Ziping in the hall of the inner courtyard. There was no injury on his body. The person who sent him back was a Jianghu man in a smart outfit. When he entered the hall, six hidden weapons were found on his body.

Yang Ziping tried to explain something after getting rid of the Jianghu guest, but Wang Ping signaled him to wait, and then quietly waited for the guest to walk in.

"Who is Taoist Changqing?" Jianghu Ke saluted with clasped fists and looked at everyone in the hall.

"I am!" Wang Ping admitted immediately.

"I met the Taoist priest..."

Jianghu Ke clasped his fists and said: "Your beloved disciple did something he shouldn't have done in Sanhe Mansion. I followed the order of my lord to send him back intact. Also...my lord asked me to tell you that you have to investigate." Nothing will come of it?"

"Your lord is the general judge of Sanhe Prefecture, Lord Shen Dongshen?" Wang Ping asked.

"Correct!"

The answer was so direct that Wang Ping didn't know what to say next.

After a brief silence, Jiang Huke continued: "If what I expected is correct, my master is already dead by this time."

"What do you mean?"

"Sir, he said... he has reached a dead end. He stepped forward to help some noble people. Who are these people? He can't say. He can't afford to offend the people who investigated him. It will be a matter of time before he loses his head. So he chose to use his own To save the rest of the family’s chance of survival, are you…satisfied with this result?”

Wang Ping quickly digested the content of Jianghu Guest's words and asked: "What else is there?"

Jianghu Ke smiled and said: "If there is anything else, do you think I can reach Qianmu Temple safely? My affairs are settled, now, can you let me go?"

Wang Ping was silent again, and then waved his hand silently.
