    Chapter 35 Chapter 35 (Alert) Senior brother’s popularity turns out to be so…

    Those Qingyun Mountain disciples were quite capable, and under the leadership of the leading disciple, the group of monster beasts quickly fell into a disadvantage.

    But the demon beast was obviously unwilling to give in. Before it died, it blew itself up and prepared to drag the disciples of Qingyun Mountain into the water together.

    It was a matter of human life, so Shen Lanchuan did not continue to ignore it, and casually set up a barrier to protect them.

    After the battle was over, the leading disciple wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, quickly checked the injuries of his fellow disciples, made simple treatment, and told them to adjust their breathing before turning his attention to the earthen house where Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan were.

    The shield that just helped them save the day, as well as the aura of calmness that he vaguely sensed during the battle, convinced him that there must be an expert in the room.

    He straightened his slightly messy robe, suppressed his internal injuries, and walked towards the earthen house with a solemn expression.

    “Junior Qingyunshan Lou Yuxing, together with all the juniors and sisters, would like to thank the seniors for their help in secret just now. I don’t know the seniors’ respect, can I allow this junior to thank me in person?” Lou Yuxing’s posture was very low, and his words were sincere.

    Shen Lanchuan was stunned. He always had a good memory and was somewhat familiar with the name Lou Yuxing.

    This is the closed disciple of Song Mianbai, the leader of Qingyun Mountain. Shen Lanchuan and Song Mianbai have a certain friendship. The two have also dealt with several incidents together. Song Mianbai seems to like this disciple very much.

    However, Shen Lanchuan did not intend to chat with Lou Yuxing and his party.

    “I’m just passing by, no need to say thank you.” Shen Lanchuan’s voice came from inside the house, with an obvious sense of alienation and farewell, “That’s it for now, you can do it yourself.”

    Although Lou Yuxing felt a little regretful when he heard this, he also knew that most of these masters had weird tempers, and it was not easy to get a response. If he continued to pester him, he might get bored.

    He hurriedly bowed again: “It was the junior who was abrupt and disturbed the senior’s peace. I will bear in mind the grace of saving my life. If senior needs it in the future, he can come to Ping Qingyun Mountain to report my name. I will do my best.”

    After saying that, he took a few steps back in a very measured manner, then turned around and left quickly to direct his fellow disciples to help the villagers clean up the mess.

    Inside the house, Shen Lanchuan saw that the person had left and lowered his head to check on Ji Hantong’s condition.The little guy seems to be getting better, but he is still wilted, has no energy, and his eyes are droopy.

    “Are you still afraid?” Shen Lanchuan asked softly, fingertips brushing his cool forehead.

    Ji Hantong shook his head, nodded again, and said in a muffled voice, “It’s okay, senior brother, when are we leaving?” Now he just wanted to leave the place where the bloody fight had just happened as soon as possible.

    “Let’s go now.” Shen Lanchuan stopped delaying and stood up with Ji Hantong in his arms.Just when he walked out of the earthen house, he flicked his finger, and a ray of light fell into the crack of the door of the old cake delivery woman’s house – a few gold ingots that were enough for an ordinary farmer to live a stable life for a long time.

    Immediately, he launched his shuttle, took Ji Hantong into the sky, and disappeared into the sky into a stream of light.

    Ji Hantong slowly regained his composure. Although his spirit was still a little sluggish, he no longer trembled.He leaned on Shen Lanchuan’s shoulder, looked at the sea of clouds retreating at a constant speed outside the window, and asked in a low voice: “Brother, is this often like this outside? I mean, monsters eat people…”

    Shen Lanchuan was silent for a moment and said: “In the world of cultivation, the jungle preys on the strong. Although it is not common for monsters to attack villages, it is not uncommon. Places where mortals live are usually protected by monks or sects, but remote villages are inevitably overlooked.”

    He paused, looked at Ji Hantong’s still pale profile, and added, “However, the Immortal Alliance has set up pickets in various places. An attack of this scale and with a clear target like today is indeed a bit strange. I will ask them to investigate it carefully.”

    Ji Hantong nodded in understanding and did not ask any further questions.His mind was in chaos, including the impact of his new understanding of the cruel side of the world, as well as confusion and uneasiness about his own situation.He subconsciously moved closer to Shen Lanchuan, absorbing the reassuring warmth and breath.

    *

    The trip after that was uneventful.Shen Lanchuan deliberately slowed down and took another break along the way to ensure that Ji Hantong was fully adapted.Two days later, the outline of Liuyun City finally appeared on the horizon.

    It was an extremely majestic city, backed by the continuous Liuyun Mountains, and the city walls towered into the clouds.The huge city gate is big enough for dozens of carriages to travel parallel to each other. It is currently handling all kinds of monks and business travelers coming from the south to the north, and it is prosperous and orderly.

    Ji Hantong was shocked by the sight in front of him. He temporarily put aside his previous fear, opened his mouth slightly, and looked around curiously.This is much more spectacular than the fairy world shown in TV series!It’s like merging countless costume film and television bases with fantasy special effects scenes.

    Shen Lanchuan turned a blind eye to this lively scene. He controlled the shuttle to stop smoothly at the designated landing area outside the city. After paying the entry fee, he led Ji Hantong into the city.

    The two of them walked straight towards the building complex at the core of the inner city.The majestic palace there is the headquarters of Duobao Pavilion in Liuyun City.

    The main building of Duobao Pavilion is a nine-story octagonal tower-shaped building. The whole body seems to be made of white jade and some kind of golden metal. It shines in the sun, and the spire seems to be submerged in the clouds, making it magnificent.In front of the door stand two huge lifelike spiritual stone statues of Pixiu.

    As soon as Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong walked to the magnificent white jade steps, a young deacon wearing a black robe embroidered with gold trim came up to them.The deacon’s eyes were ruthless, and although he couldn’t see the specific depth of Shen Lanchuan, his Yuan Ting Yue Zhi’s demeanor and the unconcealed grace of the child in his arms made him treat the two of them as distinguished guests in his heart.

    “Welcome distinguished guests to Duobao Pavilion,” the deacon bowed and saluted with a just-right smile, “I wonder if your distinguished guests are casually viewing or have a goal?”

    Shen Lanchuan looked calm and took out the admission ticket prepared by Xin Xuezhen, which was engraved with the Taixuan Dao Sect logo and the special mark of the auction, and flashed it in front of the deacon’s eyes.

    The deacon’s eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face instantly became three points more sincere and eager, and he bent his waist deeper: “It turns out that this is the distinguished guest holding the heavenly calligraphy book! I’m sorry, please come in with me. There is a quiet room in the pavilion for you.”

    The Heavenly Calligraphy Post is Duobao Pavilion’s highest-level invitation certificate. The number is extremely small, and the holders are all people with a powerful background or terrifying strength.

    Shen Lanchuan nodded slightly, held Ji Hantong in his arms, and walked through the bustling hall on the first floor under the attentive guidance of the deacon, bypassing the corridors displaying many rare treasures, and went straight to the more quiet and luxurious VIP area at the back.

    Ji Hantong’s big eyes looked curiously at the gleaming displays and treasures that seemed to be valuable, and his small hands hugged Shen Lanchuan’s neck tighter.

    The deacon led them into a spacious quiet room, and served them spiritual tea and several exquisite snacks. He said respectfully: “The auction will be tomorrow. Distinguished guests can rest here. If you need anything, just call the waiter outside the door at any time.”

    Shen Lanchuan placed Ji Hantong on a chair covered with soft brocade cushions and said to the deacon: “Pass a message for me. I want to meet the master of your pavilion.”

    The deacon didn’t show any surprise when he heard this. He bowed and said, “Yes, I will go and pass the message. Please wait for a moment.”

    After the deacon retired, Ji Hantong asked curiously in a low voice: “Brother, do we want to see the master of the pavilion here? Is he a very, very big official?”

    Shen Lanchuan picked up a piece of snack and handed it to him: “It doesn’t count for you.”

    After about a cup of tea, the door of the quiet room was gently pushed open.The person who walked in was not the fat, jeweled businessman that Ji Hantong imagined.It was a man who looked about thirty years old and was wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns.He has a clear face and deep facial features, especially his eyes as deep as a pool, which seem to be able to penetrate people’s hearts and have a restrained demeanor.

    “I’m Shang Wenyan.” The man bowed his hands and saluted with a calm voice, “I’ve heard of the name Mingshu Immortal Lord for a long time, and when I saw him today, he really has extraordinary magnanimity.”

    Shen Lanchuan stood up and returned the greeting slightly: “Master Shang Pavilion, you are very polite. I am here to see the jade heart orchid at the auction.”

    Shang Wenyan seemed to have expected it, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: “The Jade Heart Orchid is indeed the highlight of this auction. It is a rare treasure that can only be found in ten thousand years. The Immortal Mingshu has a sharp eye.”

    Shen Lanchuan looked directly at him and said straight to the point: “I want to know where this Jade Heart Orchid Noble Pavilion came from? And why did you choose to put it up for auction at this time?”

    Shen Lanchuan never worried that he wouldn’t be able to take the photo. Since it concerned Ji Hantong, he would take the photo of Yuxinlan even if he lost all his money.

    What he was worried about was whether there was any conspiracy behind it, and would this jade heart orchid really have any effect?

    The air in the quiet room seemed to be stagnant.Ji Hantong stopped eating snacks, keenly felt the change in the atmosphere, and quietly moved towards Shen Lanchuan.

    Shang Wenyan’s expression did not change, and he was still smiling: “The issue of Mingshu Immortal Master is really embarrassing for me. You also understand the rules of Duobao Pavilion. We never disclose the specific source of the goods to protect the suppliers and avoid unnecessary disputes. As for the timing of the auction…”

    “A few days ago, I helped Master Tianji Pavilion a little,” Shang Wenyan suddenly changed the subject. “In return, Master Lu gave me a clue, saying that if I take out Jade Heart Orchid as an auction item at this time, I can catch big fish. Sure enough, even Mingshu Immortal Lord was caught.”

    Having said that, there is no need to stay any longer.

    “That’s the case, I understand.” Shen Lanchuan’s tone was light and there was no hint of emotion or anger, “I will be there on the day of the auction.”

    “We are waiting for you, the Immortal Lord.” Shang Wenyan handed over his hand again, “The Immortal Lord and this little friend can rest here in peace. Shang will do his best to be the landlord. If there are any other needs, please give us your instructions at any time.” He glanced at Ji Hantong, who was sitting quietly beside him, and there was a trace of inquisitiveness in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual fake smile.

    The two left Duobao Pavilion.Ji Hantong pulled Shen Lanchuan’s sleeve and whispered: “Senior brother, does that pavilion master not want to tell us?”

    “Yes.” Shen Lanchuan held his hand.

    Ji Hantong frowned: “What should we do? Do we still want to film?”

    “Shoot.” Shen Lanchuan said firmly, “No matter who is behind it or what the purpose is, Jade Heart Orchid is very important to you and you must get it.”

    “Well, I listen to my senior brother.” Ji Hantong nodded obediently.

    *

    Just as the two were about to go out, there was a burst of hasty footsteps and familiar voices coming from the direction of the door.

    “…Senior Brother Lou, thanks to your quick reaction this time, otherwise we might have fallen into that beast’s self-destruction.”

    “Yes, and there is that unknown senior. If he hadn’t set up a barrier, the consequences would have been disastrous.”

    “Senior brother, do you think that senior is also here in Liuyun City?”

    I saw seven or eight Qingyun Mountain disciples, headed by Lou Yuxing, walking into the Duobao Pavilion hall in a dusty atmosphere.

    They had obviously just come back from outside. Many of them still had minor injuries that had not fully healed, and their robes were stained with dust and grass clippings, but they seemed to be in good spirits.Lou Yu was walking in the front, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. When he heard the comments from his junior brothers and sisters, he raised his hand to signal them to be silent: “There are many people here, so don’t make unreasonable comments about your seniors.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Yuxing’s eyes swept across the hall inadvertently, and happened to meet Shen Lanchuan, who was holding Ji Hantong’s hand and standing next to a display shelf.

    Lou Yuxing was stunned for a moment, then surprise and understanding quickly appeared on his face, and then turned into respect and excitement.He quickly signaled to his colleagues behind him to stop, while he straightened his robes and walked quickly towards Shen Lanchuan.

    Ji Hantong also recognized this group of people. They were the monks who had been fighting monsters in the village before.He subconsciously shrank behind Shen Lanchuan and clenched his senior brother’s fingers with his small hands.

    Lou Yuxing stopped a few steps in front of Shen Lanchuan and bowed respectfully: “Junior Lou Yuxing, my master Song Mianbai, pays my respects to the Immortal Mingshu.”

    The Qingyun Mountain disciples behind him were a little confused at first, but when they heard Lou Yuxing say Shen Lanchuan’s name, they quickly followed suit and saluted.

    Shen Lanchuan looked at Lou Yuxing with some surprise: “Do you recognize me?”

    Lou Yuxing straightened up, his attitude still respectful: “Yes, I have admired you for a long time, and I am fortunate to have seen the portrait of Immortal Mingshu!”

    Ji Hantong’s ears twitched.What admiration?What do you admire?Is senior brother’s popularity in the world of cultivation originally so high?So many people look up to.

    He leaned closer to Shen Lanchuan again, pressing closer to her.

    “I have nothing to admire.” Shen Lanchuan noticed Ji Hantong’s little move and felt secretly happy.

    “The Immortal Lord Mingshu has a great heart and takes helping the world as his own duty. He is a role model for monks of our generation. The Immortal Lord does not need to be humble!” Lou Yuxing was obviously very excited.

    Shen Lanchuan didn’t want to talk to him about this kind of thing. He didn’t think he was a righteous person, and what he did was purely selfish.Then he changed the subject and asked, “How is your master doing lately?”

    Song Mianbai was the monk of his generation that Shen Lanchuan was most familiar with outside, apart from Xin Xuezhen and other Taixuan Dao Sect members.

    When Song Mianbai was mentioned, Lou Yuxing’s expression darkened obviously.

    “Master has been feeling unwell recently and suffered some injuries. We are here to buy medicinal materials for him.”

    Shen Lanchuan’s heart suddenly moved. Could it be that he also came here for Yu Xinlan?

    ———————–

    The author has something to say: I forgot to mention it in the last chapter, there is a deputy CP appearing, of course the main CP will still play the main role.

    I picked up a new one and picked it up in advance. After I finished writing it, I started reading it and collected it if I liked it [laughing loudly].”Ancestor, I don’t want to be the king of a subjugated country!”》

    Chi Xiyi is a fox.

    The ambitious little fox escaped from his ancestral land on the first day of his transformation and prepared to do a great job. However, he fell into the trap of a hateful hunter within a few miles and was about to become a scarf around the necks of noble people.

    Chi Xiyi trembled: QAQ, who will save the fox? The fox will never run around again.

    Fortunately, the young prince who passed by rescued the fox and gave him enough food.

    The fox was so grateful that he repaid his kindness and decided to fulfill the young prince’s last wish and transform into the young prince to accompany his family.

    The young prince now only has one elder brother left. The elder brother is the current faint king. He is already on the sick bed and is about to die in the west.

    Before dying, Hunjun held Chi Xiyi’s hand and said tremblingly: “My brother should be as good as Taizu.”

    As a result, the stupid fox who knew nothing about handling state affairs was pushed to the throne.But today’s dynasty is in turmoil, officials are corrupt, natural disasters are frequent, borders are in crisis, people are in dire straits, and uprisings are happening all over the country, looking like they are destroying the country.

    Chi Xiyi burst into tears: Ancestor, help!Fox doesn’t want to be the king of a subjugated country!

    This shout actually called the ancestors of the Xiao family over.

    Taizu Xiao Fuxu.History records that he “opened up frontiers with bows and horses, and ruled the world with an iron fist.”He started the army at the age of seventeen, established the Central Plains at the age of twenty-five, and during his forty years of reign, he drove Di Rong from the north and suppressed floods in the south. He personally created the foundation of the dynasty that lasted for three hundred years. He can be called an emperor through the ages.

    Xiao Fuxu has been feeling in a daze lately, and from time to time he will fall into a deep sleep for no apparent reason, and when he opens his eyes again, he has changed to the human world.

    The country he built with his own hands is now riddled with holes and crumbling, but the person at the helm of the dynasty is a fool.

    Xiao Fuxu: It’s bad. It seems like the country is going to subjugate.

    If that’s the case, let’s take over the world again.

    Chi Xiyi’s diary of saving the country:

    The seventeenth day of the first lunar month, sunny

    Under the guidance of the big ghost, the fox successfully killed a sycophant. The fox was really powerful.

    On the first day of February, it rains

    The big ghost said he had never hunted a fox before, what a good ghost!Then let him touch the fox tail for a little while longer today, just for a little while.

    July 26, sunny
