From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 593 Scattered among the People
"No, this is not meddling. The three overseas mountains are of the same bloodline as China and are the orthodox cultivation methods of ancient times. When such a treasure is unearthed, we, Fangzhang Mountain, naturally cannot stand idly by."

Jiang Huan spoke lightly, with his long hair tied up and a feminine look, like a graceful and elegant superior.

Zhao Ziyao frowned. This Jiang Huan not only dressed like an ancient person, but also spoke in a very refined voice, like an old fellow who was isolated from the world in the mountains.

Moreover, she didn't like the news that the treasure had come to light. She always believed that Li Zhenjun had only disappeared temporarily and was recovering from his injuries.

Qi Qiansu also had an unpleasant expression on his face. It was unknown in which dynasty this Fangzhangshan had fled to overseas and lived in seclusion. Now this Jiang Huan was talking about the so-called 'orthodox practice' and regarded himself as the leader of the ancient Chinese lineage. He was overstepping his authority and where did he put the Taoist Alliance?

"The Nanming Sword is not a relic. Li Zhenjun just had something else to do and couldn't come to get the sword. We are very grateful for your help, but now the disciples of Baiyun Mountain have arrived. Mr. Jiang Huan, you can go back."

Qi Qiansu didn't want to fall out with Jiang Huan, so he gave Zhao Ziyao a look, and Zhao Ziyao, who had been holding a lot of anger, jumped out immediately.

"What the hell is Fangzhang Mountain? China and even Blue Star now only know Baiyun Mountain, and then Qingcheng, Wutai, and the Thirty-Six Taoist Temples that fought to save the country. What historical remnants of your Fangzhang Mountain are there? Get out of here!"

Zhao Ziyao shook her hands and totally ignored Jiang Huan who suddenly appeared.

Jiang Huan's originally gentle expression froze on his face in an instant. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Ziyao coldly.

"How dare a ghost cultivator act so presumptuously in front of me, a human immortal? This is insubordination and you should be punished!"

Jiang Huan pointed his finger and a talisman suddenly took shape and shot towards Zhao Ziyao like an arrow.

Although Zhao Ziyao was careless, she was already on guard. The Chengying sword was unsheathed in an instant and slashed towards the talisman with an afterimage.

Although the talisman had no physical body, when the Chengying Sword slashed at it it felt like it was hitting a piece of iron. The huge impact force made Zhao Ziyao's palm numb instantly, and the Chengying Sword flew out of her hand and she retreated violently.

The talisman seemed to be specialized in targeting the soul, specifically designed to restrain ghost cultivators like Zhao Ziyao. When it was still one meter away from her face, Zhao Ziyao felt her hair stand on end and a sharp pain in her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Huan, you passed."

Qi Qiansu behind him spoke lightly, holding up Zhao Ziyao who staggered backward with one hand, and drawing talismans in the air with his right hand. The two talismans collided thirty centimeters in front of Zhao Ziyao and disappeared like smoke.

Qi Qianshu stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm and composed. Jiang Huan put down his right hand and looked at Qi Qianshu with some surprise.

"She insulted me first. The power of a human immortal cannot be desecrated!"

"You are insulting the Infinite Heavenly Lord! Isn't he just a human immortal? We have killed nine earthly immortals in Baiyun Mountain!"

Zhao Ziyao picked up the Chengying sword, but she was still harsh in her words.

"Humph!"

Jiang Huan snorted coldly and stood with his hands behind his back. After half a month of understanding the modern world, he knew that the ghost cultivator was telling the truth. It was for this reason that he intervened in the handover of the Nanming Sword. He was jealous of this immortal sword that had killed nine earthly immortals.

"Let's be merciful when we can. Fellow Daoist Zi Yao has a straightforward personality, but some of his words make sense."

Qi Qiansu stepped forward and smoothed things over.

In the distance, Xiong Zhanli’s officers and handover officials looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes.

Human immortals, the two in front of me are both human immortals!

In this era where all species are national strategic military forces, the deterrent power and influence of a human immortal are difficult to measure. The tanks and shells behind them are no different from toys in front of such creatures.

What makes them even more jealous is that this newly appeared Jiang Huan seems to be a human immortal master from China!
Damn it! That's not how you cheat in China!

The big men in Xiongzhanli looked at Qi Qiansu and Jiang Huan who were confronting each other with envy, and silently put away their guns.

In other words, they had no say in front of these two people at this moment and could only wait quietly.

"The so-called Taoism, the law is secondary, and the Tao is the root. Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching after leaving Hangu Pass. Virtue comes after Taoism. I never thought that the outside world would rush by for thousands of years. Although Taoism has not been extinguished, my heart is restless."

Jiang Huan spoke each word carefully and glanced at Zhao Ziyao indifferently.

Zhao Ziyao heard it carefully. Was this guy scolding her in a roundabout way?
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Huan, you can return home now!"

Qi Qiansu spoke calmly again and took a step forward.

"I represent Fangzhang Mountain. A treasure has been unearthed here, and Fangzhang Mountain has also issued an imperial decree, asking me to borrow the Nanming Sword and return to the island to see it."

Jiang Huan shook his head and stood calmly in the snow, not caring about Qi Qiansu's pressure at all.

At this moment, Jiang Huan finally admitted his intention and came for the Nanming Sword.

"Although this foreign nation is hateful, some of what it says is true. Since ancient times, treasures belong to those with virtue."

Jiang Huan kicked the old Gu Master's head which was covered with ice on the ground and looked at Qi Qiansu with a half-smile.

"Master Qi, are you sure you want to stop me? Do you want to start a war with me?"

"Don't worry, I'm just borrowing this sword temporarily, because I, Fangzhangshan, suspect that this sword is related to a mountain-guarding immortal sword on my island. I will definitely return it after I find out the truth."

Before Qi Qiansu could speak, Zhao Ziyao behind him could no longer hold back and yelled, "Bullshit! Everyone knows that this Nanming Sword was forged by Li Zhenjun in modern times. What does it have to do with your Fangzhang Mountain?"

"Whether it is related or not, it will become clear after investigation."

Jiang Huan shook his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared straight at Qi Qiansu.

"Master Qi, are you sure you want to start a conflict with my Fangzhang Mountain? According to the agreement, my Fangzhang Mountain has provided a lot of supplies and spiritual stones in the past half month, and we will also have related subsequent cooperation..."

"Cooperation, just your little tricks? Who would be willing to cooperate with you?"

Zhao Ziyao spat and turned around, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because at this moment, Qi Qiansu behind her actually showed a hint of hesitation? !

"Since you, Fangzhang Mountain, claim to be the source of the Chinese Dao Sect, and did not show up before the invasion of the Jizhen Realm, are you going to go back on the signed cooperation contract now?"

"Of course not, but I am not the only one who makes the decisions on the island. I cannot represent their thoughts."

Jiang Huan shook his head and looked at Qi Qiansu leisurely.

After last year's war, although China won, it also suffered heavy losses. The country's spiritual veins and resources were almost exhausted. Many blessed places were also affected by the war, and resources for cultivation were extremely scarce.

This was a cruel time when everything needed to be rebuilt, so the spiritual stones and supplies brought by Jiang Huan, who came from Bohai and claimed to be the successor of Fangzhang Mountain, were particularly important.

This is why Jiang Huan acts so ostentatiously, as he believes he holds the lifeline of China in his hands.

However, when Qi Qian was hesitating, another voice like a huge bell rang out between heaven and earth.

"It's a saying that since ancient times, treasures belong to the virtuous. If that's the case, I'll join in the fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed as a Japanese samurai fell from the sky and crashed into the snow with a bang. He had a special Japanese samurai braid and looked at Jiang Huan defiantly.

Shimaki Ryo, the incarnation of the ancient Yamata no Orochi, is also one of the top human immortal masters in the world today.

At this time he also appeared in Xiong Zhanli, obviously coming for the Nanming Sword, and wanted to compete with Jiang Huan and Qi Qiansu for the sword.

The moment they saw Dao Mu Ling, Qi Qiansu and Zhao Ziyao's faces changed slightly.
One of the raw materials of the Nanming Sword, the Ame-no-Kume Sword, has a deep connection with this guy. His appearance to snatch the sword is a great threat. "Humph! Where did this long worm come from! Thousands of years ago, you crossed the sea and got the good fortune of my island, but now you are not grateful and want to commit violence!"

A gleam of light flashed in Jiang Huan's eyes, and he instantly saw through Dao Mu Ling's whereabouts and revealed an ancient secret.

"So that mountain is really one of the fairy mountains on the sea?"

Upon hearing this, Shimamura Ling looked at Jiang Huan with some surprise. In ancient times, he was defeated by the king of ancient Shu and the three-legged crow, and he accidentally swallowed the sword of Ama-no-Murasakumo into his body. He was forced to go from the river to the sea. He once obtained a magic herb on an island, which stabilized his injuries and allowed him to recuperate in the ancient Sakura Kingdom.

He had discussed this matter with Li Yang before, and Li Yang had speculated at that time that it might be related to the Three Mountains on the Sea. He didn't expect to run into the original owner today.

"Are you from that island?"

"That's right!" Jiang Huan stood proudly, holding a knife.

"If it were anything else, I might give you some leeway because of karma, but not today. Before leaving, Li Zhenjun once said that he would give me this sword for temporary safekeeping, and I cannot break my promise."

Seeing that Shima Mu Ling was lying with his eyes open, Zhao Ziyao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"A long worm dares to covet the gift of heaven, it should be killed!"

Without paying any attention to what Dao Mu Ling said about the oath of holding the sword, Jiang Huan flew out without hesitation, his figure ghostly, and slashed at Dao Mu Ling with his long sword, wanting to cut Dao Mu Ling in half.

As an ancient ferocious beast, Dao Mu Ling was naturally not an easy opponent. He drew out his sword to block and immediately started fighting with Jiang Huan.

Seeing the chaotic situation, Qi Qianshu silently wanted to fly into the base to get the sword, but was forced back by Jiang Huan and Shima Mu Ling. Although the two were fighting, they were still paying attention to Qi Qianshu, the only competitor on the field.

Qi Qiansu had no choice but to draw his sword to fight. At the same time, a sword, a knife and a huge snake shadow rolled into a ball in the air, like three divine dragons dancing in the sky, which was very beautiful.

"Wulian Tianzun, you really thought that Li Zhenjun was in seclusion and there was no one left in Baiyun Mountain, right? How dare anyone who breathes come to steal the sword!"

Zhao Ziyao was so angry that she was gritting her teeth. Thinking of the hesitation that Qi Qiansu had accidentally revealed on his face just now, she became even more unsure.

"Even though Li Zhenjun and Sister Yanhong are not here, I still have other people in Baiyun Mountain! I can also mobilize people!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ziyao took out her cell phone angrily and dialed a number she hadn't contacted for a long time.

Beep!
After a long time, someone answered the phone. It was a hoarse male voice.

Zhao Ziyao immediately shouted into the phone: "Hey! Where are your fellow apprentices? There are two shameless people trying to steal the things your master left behind. What do you think you should do?"
-
Fujian Jian, Fuzhou.

It was the afternoon, and the rare warm sunshine in Fujian had dispelled some of the dampness and coldness in the south.

"Beep beep."

At the Shaxian snack bar at the Normal University, an ordinary-looking man in a thick down jacket hung up the phone and then looked at the woman wearing glasses across the table.

Like other guests dining in the restaurant, the two were faculty members of a normal university. The woman was a university teacher, and like a little girl, she was chattering with her boyfriend about the weird leader and the naughty students in the class.

Fujian is located on the coast and was also affected in the Battle of Qiongzhou. During this year, people gradually moved back and schools and shops began to resume their functions.

Because it is post-disaster reconstruction, the population density of Minjian is much smaller than it was a year ago, and China has also tilted a lot of political support to the construction of Minjian. So although it is a little poorer, the welfare and living standards of the teachers and staff of the Normal University are still good.

Just like what the chattering woman had once imagined, an ordinary daily life, working from nine to five, a simple and warm home, watching the sea and traveling together when they have time, or ordering a bowl of steaming egg fried rice and scallion oil noodles at Shaxian Snack Bar, and talking about the joys and troubles of work and life.

But at this moment, opposite him, the ordinary-looking man in a down jacket put down his chopsticks and looked at her steadily.

So the woman stopped complaining about the school leaders.

"Is it Sister Ziyao who called?"

"Is it about Xiong Zhanli and the sword?"

"Yeah." The man nodded slightly without saying much.

"Oh"

The woman lowered her head in frustration, half surprised and half puzzled: "I didn't expect that even if Li Zhenjun didn't show up, the sword he left behind could cause such a big commotion..."

After a while, she raised her head again and looked across expectantly:

"Then when will you come back?"

"I don't know. After we solve the problem, maybe tomorrow morning, or the day after tomorrow."

"Want to fight?"

"…Should I?"

"Can you beat me?"

"I don't know..."

"Okay." The woman nodded, and used the chopsticks in her hand to pick up the rice grains in the bowl left and right. The fried rice that was still emitting an enticing aroma suddenly lost its appeal.

"Then you have to come back soon. You promised to meet my parents this weekend! Don't break your promise!"

"it is good."

The ordinary-looking man smiled and nodded, then stood up and touched the girl's head.

"wait me back."

After taking out cash to pay, the man stretched, and then slowly walked out of the Shaxian Snacks shop facing the sunset.

The woman held her chin, looked at the man leaving, and could only pick up the rice in the bowl again.

She naturally didn't want the other person to leave, but she couldn't think of any reason to stop him, just like a year ago.

"I don't seem to be the most important thing in your life..."

"But, second place feels good too?"

……

After leaving the temple, the ordinary-looking man walked towards an empty alley of the Normal University, thought for a moment, and decided to make a phone call.

"Hello, is this Ling'er? Xiong Zhanli is in some trouble. Master's sword has been salvaged, and some guys seem to be ready to make a move..."

"Let's not call Liu Ming for now. His situation is special, and the backlash hasn't ended yet. Plus, Master Yubao's matter, he probably can't leave now..."

As he spoke, the man had already walked into the alley.

Then, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and a ray of lightning rose from the alley and rushed north.
