The world of Taoism

Chapter 197
(The title is wrong, it is Ten Square Jungle. md, the title cannot be changed.)
Seeing the distressed appearance of the man in purple, the old man frowned and said, "Chang Ying, who made you like this?"

Chang Ying has a very strong aura of thunder, which is exactly the same as the thunder and lightning generated in the sky.

Inspired by this aura, the old man automatically emitted a purple light.

"Someone sneaked up on me, and someone sneaked up on me near Yuchan Mountain." Chang Ying clutched her chest, full of hatred.

"People from King Chunjiang?" said the old man, "or other jungles?"

"I don't know the name of this person, it seems to be related to King Chunjiang, but this person has Leifa, and the person who owns Leifa must have a good reputation. Let's investigate and find out."

Chang Ying lowered his head and said, and then explained the reason for the incident.

The old man shook his head slightly.

The old man probably understands the matter.

It's nothing more than Chang Ying's greed for petty gain, thinking that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, but he didn't expect to be counterattacked by the opponent.

If it weren't for the life-saving spells, I'm afraid this would have been out of my wits already.

"Of course we have to find out. My True Immortal Temple is also well-known in Yangzhou. We need to see whether this person has intentions or not."

The old man snorted coldly, then looked at Chang Ying: "Trouble me all day, face the wall for half a month."

The so-called jungle refers to their temples or Taoist temples in the mountains.

(There is no Taoism here, but there is the concept of the Dao of Heaven, so there is also the concept of Taoism.)
The full name of the jungle is Shifang Jungle, which originated from the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, demons and ghosts were rampant, and demons danced wildly.

Practitioners are also fighting each other, in short, it is very chaotic, and various factions are constantly fighting for their own interests.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty simply registered the practitioners.

According to the strength of their respective factions, give them a hill or a piece of land.

Let them take root, give them rights, and exempt them from taxes, so as to appease the sect of practitioners.

All in all, it is to tell them to manage the site with peace of mind and take care of their own affairs.

After the cultivator's strength was recognized and famous, he gradually settled down.

Because most of the places where practitioners live belong to deep mountains and old forests, these inheritances are also called "jungles".

Thousands of years have passed, and the original system has long since collapsed, leaving only one title.

But generally speaking, even if there is a change of dynasty, the official will recognize the existence of these jungles and give them a higher status.

Jingtiansi is an official institution, and Shifang Jungle is an autonomous institution, or a private enterprise.

The True Immortal Temple belongs to one of the jungles, and it is not inherited from descendants, it is similar to the inheritance of sects passed down from master to apprentice.

Zhenxian Temple is a famous inheritance in Yangzhou.

Practitioners who specialize in talismans and enshrine the Lord of the Earth and the Lord of Xuannv know the existence of the True Immortal Temple.

Rarely will take the initiative to provoke the True Immortal Temple.

In fact, things like Chang Ying are neither big nor small.

After all, I took the initiative to provoke others, and being beaten back by them is also a lack of skill.

If this kind of thing required him to take action, I'm afraid he would have been too busy.

What really annoyed the old man was that during this period of time, there seemed to be some kind of force guiding the True Immortal Temple and leading them to do certain things.

For example, Chang Ying.

The old man suspected that it was the Yangtze River Water Mansion led by King Chunjiang.

That's why I want to investigate.

Otherwise, the contradictions of Chang Ying's juniors would not be enough to attract the attention of the old man.

On the other side, a white cloud rose above Zhou's house, and a man fell from the cloud.

This man is Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan stood in the woods behind, took a breath of true energy, and then suddenly exerted force.

Whoa!

Take off directly on the spot, jump over the three-meter-high wall, and enter the backyard of Zhou's house.

With the blessing of Tiangang Zhenqi, Zhou Xuan's physical fitness has improved a lot in all aspects.

Unlike the previous thunder and lightning essence, which only releases thunder and lightning, Tiangang Zhenqi can bless all aspects of oneself.

When used on the body, it can enhance physical fitness, when gathered in the ears, it can strengthen hearing, and on the eyes, it can strengthen vision.

From a long distance, Zhou Xuan saw the old ghost hiding in the void.

The old ghost sat cross-legged in the air, with a golden umbrella floating above his head, casting a little bit of golden light.

The old ghost suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Zhou Xuan with cloudy eyes, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes: "You broke through?"

It turned out that the old ghost could only be discovered by Zhou Xuan when he showed up on his own initiative.

Now Zhou Xuan can take the initiative to find the trace of the old ghost.

"Yes."

"Have you decided to take the next step? Cultivate the body, or train the soul first? Or both?" the old ghost asked.

"It depends on the situation." Zhou Xuan smiled, and then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did anything happen during my retreat?"

"Yes, more than ten days ago, someone was sneaking around, but he didn't come in, and then disappeared." The old ghost said.

Because Zhou Xuan retreated, the old ghost did not take the initiative to make a move, so as not to cause trouble and disturb Zhou Xuan's cultivation.

"Is it a man in purple?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Yes, I left after coming here for a while, and didn't enter Zhou's house." The old ghost said.

"I see, it should be King Chunjiang's fault." Zhou Xuan laughed.

"The King of Spring River?"

"The father of that girl is a county king."

Zhou Xuan was pacing by the lake, the old ghost was suspended in mid-air, and there was no reflection of the old ghost on the lake.

"Why did it involve King Chunjiang?"

"When Liu Qi came that day, there was a breath in the distance around me. At that time, I thought it was nothing, but now I finally understand."

The flashing breath of that day was exactly the same as that of the man in purple.

Zhou Xuan probably understood the cause and effect.

It is estimated that the man in purple is following Liu Qi.Maybe he wanted to see what King Chunjiang was doing, or to find out what kind of connection he had with King Chunjiang.

When I checked, I happened to meet myself practicing, so the two had a conflict.

"Was this King Chunjiang intentional or intentional?" Zhou Xuan fell into deep thought.

Zhou Xuan was more inclined to be intentional.

After all, Liu Qi came all the way, and went back as soon as she said it.

Moreover, Liu Qi didn't have much experience in the world, so she didn't seem like a qualified lobbyist.

Perhaps King Chunjiang was sending a signal to other forces, that is, a signal that Zhou Xuan was from their side.

That's why the man in purple and others were provoked.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain why the man in purple appeared above Zhou Xuan. The world is so big, but two strangers met together.

At this moment, Uncle Liu came over suddenly, holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, there is a letter." Uncle Liu said.

Zhou Xuan opened the letter, and inside was a bronzing invitation card with the name of King Chunjiang written on it.

The content of the letter was to invite Zhou Xuan to attend the banquet, which was held in Yangzhou.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan probably confirmed it.

King Chunjiang played tricks behind his back, thinking that if he had an affair with the man in purple, he would fall to his side.

But he never imagined that Zhou Xuan had entered the bardo stage and had the ability to protect himself, so he didn't need to join a certain party.

"Are you going to swim in this muddy water?" the old ghost asked.

A trace of inexplicable color flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Go, why not?"
