Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 256: Junior Sister Visits Her Parents
He Wanying returned the day before Kang Dabao left. As soon as she arrived, she found that she could not recognize the current Chongming Sect.

The scene before her with carved beams and windows, flowing eaves and pointed corners, flying cornices and eaves, and red pillars and carved rafters was something she had never seen before.

When Master He was alive, he didn't like these things. He believed that the sect had not yet been revived, and there was no need to do these superficial things.

I only hope that I or Uncle Li can build a foundation as soon as possible and bring glory to our family. By then, there will be no need for white walls and black tiles, and the Chongming Sect will also have its own glory.

He Wanying had never thought that after her father passed away, Kang Dabao, her poorly qualified senior brother, would not only be able to raise her two junior brothers, Jiang Qing and Yuan Jin, but would also be able to achieve the foundation building stage and regain the title of the number one sect in Pingrong and give it to the Chongming Sect.

It is said that Master Kang has only been in charge of the sect for twenty to thirty years, but he already has two people who have established their foundation while alive. This is something that the six previous masters of the Chongming Sect have not been able to accomplish.

This cannot be described by the phrase "restoration"; it can almost be described as the master of reconstruction.

"No wonder father said that senior brother is a man of talent who hides his true colors. Uncle Li cannot compare to him." He Wanying sighed, pulled her husband who was sweating, and followed Kang Rongquan, who was leading the way with a suspicious look on his face, to the sect lobby.

The young grandson of Master Kang hadn't figured out at this time when this "aunt" appeared in his life.

But there was no false expression on the young woman's face. Not only did she speak with reason and assurance, she also had an old-fashioned badge of a Chongming disciple in her hand.

Kang Rongquan had seen this brand before. Only four elders, Kang, Pei, Yuan and Jiang, were still using it, so he believed it about 70%.

As Kang Rongquan expected, after delivering the message, Uncle Yuan, who was temporarily in charge of the sect affairs, wanted to lead the way in person.

Along the way, Kang Rongquan met many fellow disciples, and when he saw the couple following behind him, they all looked curious.

But even if there were people who were so trustworthy, they would not ask questions in front of outsiders, which saved Kang Rongquan the trouble of explaining.

There was one less person at the archway now, with Ye Pingshui the only one on duty. So after leading He Wanying and her husband out of the meeting hall, Kang Rongquan didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed and turned away.

There was a hint of uneasiness in He Wanying's eyes, but she still pulled her husband up the stairs.

Born and raised here, she had been away from home for so long and had only returned once 20 years ago. She had thought about coming back over the years, but when she thought about what she had done, she didn't have the face to do so.

After all, the fact that the only daughter of the sect leader eloped with a wild Qi-cultivating cultivator was extremely disgraceful no matter how you looked at it.

There were only Yuan Jin and Pei Yi in the meeting hall now. Yuan Jin's face was frosty, and he sat on the main seat like a frozen lump of ice. When he saw He Wanying coming in, he didn't say a word.

Pei Yi's face looked better. He Wanying used to be a disciple of Uncle Li. Although she could not stand Uncle Li's strict teaching, she had not received any instruction for many years.

Pei Yi and He Wanying don't have much friendship, but when it comes down to it, they are still close teacher and student brothers and sisters.

As the eldest disciple of Uncle Li's lineage, Pei Yi, upon hearing that He Wanying had returned, naturally wanted to come out to meet her.

"Junior Brother Yuan, Senior Brother Pei, I'm back!" He Wanying had tears in her eyes and smiled.

"It's good that you're back. You've had a hard time away from home." Pei Yi saw that Yuan Jin hadn't spoken for a long time. After thinking for a while, he said to comfort him, "Please sit down first."

He Wanying thanked her and her husband and was about to sit down, but Yuan Jin's eyes fixed on her and his words were like a sword with a cold spear in his hand, so sharp that it was intimidating.

"If you dare to move even a step further, I will beat you into a pulp right here!!"

The scene suddenly became frighteningly cold, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on He Wanying's handsome face. He Wanying's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she raised her head, and her previous timid look seemed to disappear in an instant.

He just shouted coldly at Yuan Jin: "Jin kid!"

"My name is Yuan Jin!"

"Who are you calling me lord in front of, you bastard?!"

Yuan Jin's momentum was stagnant after being scolded by He Wanying. He was choked and unable to speak. His teeth were clenched and his face was as blue as iron.

"He Wanying, how dare you come back?!"

"My father is the head of Chongming Sect, I am a member of the He family, and I am your brother Jin's senior sister. Why can't I come back!" The young woman pulled her husband to sit down, and did not flinch in the face of Yuan Jin's cannibalistic look!
"You... shameless!" Yuan Jin's eyes widened as if he wanted to eat someone. He couldn't think of anything bad to say. He was either greeting her elders or his master, so how could he say that?

"Where's Senior Brother Kang? He didn't even send me an invitation to his new bride, and he didn't send anyone to tell me that he had established his foundation. That's not what my father taught him. Once he became rich, he would look down on his poor relatives! Is there any leader of Chongming Sect who would do that?"

Seeing that Yuan Jin was speechless, He Wanying became aggressive.

She was a hot-tempered person at home. Except for her senior brother Kang Dabao, whom she could not subdue, all the other junior brothers were raised by her with the help of the old master's wife.

Even though Yuan Jin was shouting for war and killing at this time, He Wanying didn't think that the former dared to fight with her.

Her handsome husband tried to persuade her, but Yuan Jin, who was furious, turned around and scolded him.

"Be polite, this is your brother-in-law. Is this how my father taught you to disrespect your elders?"

"He's nothing." Yuan Jin was halfway through swearing when he was glared back at by the young woman.

"Good, good! You are very capable! You just stay in the ancestral hall and watch over Master's spirit tablet! Look at your black heart, can you stand this burning? I can't deal with you, so wait for Senior Brother to come back, and you can watch!"

----

"Senior Brother!" He Wanying burst into tears when she saw Sect Leader Kang and Jiang Qing coming back together.

Kang Dabao's eyes did not waver. He sent Chu Huer and his disciples back to their posts. He sighed lightly and led Jiang Qing into the ancestral hall.

After the two entered, the vermilion lacquered door closed and the glazed lamps in the hall lit up one after another.

At this time, only Yuan Jin and Pei Yi, who came after hearing the news, were guarding He Wanying and her husband. One of them was neat and tidy, and the other was confused.

Jiang Qing was delighted when he saw He Wanying coming back. He called her "Senior Sister" and was about to help her up, but was stopped by Yuan Jin. Jiang Qing was stunned for a while, then he remembered something, and the smile on his face gradually froze, without saying a word.

"Xiao Qingzi, you have really practiced the foundation building technique! Everything is fine. I am useless and have not been with you for too long. You have to bear the brunt of it." He Wanying showed a smile without a trace of falsehood on her face.

Jiang Qing's expression relaxed a little, and he looked at the three brothers in the hall, but he didn't say a word in the end.

"Okay! It's almost thirty years too late for you to shed tears! Brother is back, tell me, why did you come back this time? " Yuan Jin finally spoke, still asking in a deep voice.

"You are not the head, so why should I tell you? I will wait for my senior brother to ask." He Wanying showed no sign of weakness.

“He Wanying!” Yuan Jin was so angry that he smashed the spiritual wood table beside him and stood up to fight, but was stopped by Jiang Qing: “Second Brother, you can’t hit me!”

Yuan Jin got even angrier after hearing this. With red eyes, he slapped Jiang Qing in the face. Jiang Qing, who was at the foundation-building stage, not only did not dare to hide, but was also scolded by Yuan Jin:

"You idiot, you only ate a few more of her fruits when you were a kid and you still remember it. The last time this woman came back, she took away the ten-foot yellow spirit wood that Senior Brother worked so hard for several years to earn! Have you forgotten it?

The price that the senior brother and You Erlang negotiated for half a year was finally agreed upon, but she ran away with the yellow spirit wood. Not only can you not refine a flying sword, but you also have to pay You Erlang spirit stones as compensation!

The eldest brother was so angry that he knelt in front of the master's spirit for two days! Her conscience must have been eaten by a dog to do such a shameful thing! "

"Come on, Xiao Qingzi, let him go and let him beat his senior sister and his master's only daughter to death here." Upon seeing this, He Wanying cried even harder.

Yuan Jin became even more furious and broke away from Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing had no time to stop him and did not dare to cast a spell. Seeing Yuan Jin raising his fist and about to walk to He Wanying, He Wanying's husband stepped forward to protect her and said, "Brother Yuan, listen to me."

"Who the hell are you! Get out of here!" The man looked ashamed and didn't dare to fight back. He let Yuan Jin throw him away like a kite.

He Wanying, with red eyes, tried to support her husband, but was grabbed by Yuan Jin and pulled over to face the bowl-sized fist.

She looked panicked. Jiang Qing didn't expect Yuan Jin to be so furious. If this punch was real, it would probably crack He Wanying's head!

But it was too late for him to take action now, and he was filled with regret.

"Junior Brother Yuan, you can't do that!" Pei Yi, who had been sitting upright and unable to speak, was now panicked. If he had known earlier, he would not have come. This was originally Uncle He's family's business, why should he, a nominal senior brother, join in the fun!

it's over
"Bang." The violent fist force hit the hard gold bar that had just been engraved with the ban. Jiang Qing's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly helped up the woman who was frightened to the ground.

With a "crack", Pei Yi saw Yuan Jin's face flushed. He turned away from He Wanying, turned his back and spat out a broken tooth from his mouth.

"Junior brother, you really hate me so much." He Wanying was helped to a seat by Jiang Qing, and begged him to go see her husband.

"I really want to chew you up and spit you out! You have no shame, leaving us brothers here to be laughed at by outsiders! You endured so many people's contempt, but you had some spiritual objects in your possession, but you were reluctant to use them, and you stole them to feed your man.

You are such a lowly person that you found a maid to bear a child with, and you have been laughed at by your fellow Taoists in Pingrong County for years! And you are so proud of yourself that you treat it as a treasure! He Wanying! You don’t want the reputation of Master in this life, but we brothers still want it!" After Yuan Jin finished cursing, he slammed the ground and said hatefully, "Okay, okay, okay! You dare to come back even though you don’t want your life. Since you want to wait for Brother to come back, Brother has already come back! Just wait and see if he will skin you alive! Just wait and see!"

He Wanying fell to the ground and started crying again, and her crying added a sense of desolation to the magnificent ancestral hall of the Chongming Sect.

Kang Dabao hadn't uttered a word since he entered the sect. Even when Yuan Jin was pounding the ground, he didn't even glance at him. He just walked to the seat of Sect Leader He and respectfully burned a stick of incense.

There was a cup of clam blood in front of the deity, but now the water vapor had dissipated and it had solidified into a paste.

Master Kang put a few drops of essence in it, pinched his fingers to form fire, and the blood paste slowly burned in the cup. Only when the fragrance slowly filled the room did Kang Dabao turn around.

He didn't even look at He Wanying who was crying and almost fainting, and just walked towards Yuan Jin.

The latter lowered his head when he was being stared at, and felt a chill on his back. After a crisp sound, Master Kang took back the ruler and let the blood flow all over Yuan Jin's back. The pain made Yuan Jin, who had just wanted to fight and kill, lose all his courage.

"Since you want to act, then act realistically! I brought this spiritual wood table from the Five Phase Sect's ancestral hall. Why are you hitting it? The spiritual stones will be deducted from your annual salary!"

With a "crack", the ruler made of material comparable to that of a top-grade magic weapon broke immediately. Jiang Qing groaned, and his flesh burst open. At the same time, the cold snort of Sect Leader Kang reached his ears:
"You too, what about Gouri, the first foundation-building master of Chongming Sect, what about sword cultivation, you have cultivated to the point of being a dog? You can't even stop a Qi training?"

He Wanying, who was crying, trembled when she saw this, and her crying suddenly became weaker.

Pei Yi could see it clearly now, and complained in his heart for a while, saying that it was no wonder that these people were his real master and brother.

"At least you didn't die outside." The head of the Kang family walked up to He Wanying holding a half-broken ruler and asked in a deep voice, "Have you had enough of throwing tantrums?"

He Wanying sobbed without answering. Kang Dabao sat back down and asked slowly, "How come even that old wild cow is gone? It had been with Master for many years. Was it sold?"

"I can't bear to do that, but he died of illness years ago and was buried there, and I can't afford the medicine." He Wanying slumped on the ground and replied with a sob.

"You stupid girl, you are neither like a master's wife nor a master, you are not smart at all." Kang Dabao cursed softly, his eyes slightly turned to the handsome face of He Wanying's husband, and said softly:

"Let's not talk about the fact that you squandered Master's half of the family fortune. It doesn't matter whether you ate, spent, or played with it. That was something Master left for you, and no one can criticize it.

"Master has given me a new life, so it's okay for you to steal or rob me! But you have used a few of the spiritual stones in your hand on yourself!"

"Snapped!"

Kang Dabao finally couldn't help it and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces. He Wanying was so scared that she stopped crying, her almond-shaped eyes slightly red, and she looked up at the abbot.

"No wonder even the elders of the He family call you a money-loser!"

"Brother!" He Wanying knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes. Her husband knelt down with a look of pity in his eyes.

"Master Kang, no matter how wrong a person is, it is all Feng Wan's fault. Please don't blame Wan Ying." Feng Wan's handsome face was dull and lifeless, looking dejected.

"Do you think I don't want to skin you alive?" Kang Dabao said in a cold tone and with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Senior brother! Senior brother! For the sake of my father and mother, please, please." The young woman crawled over on her knees, wrapped her arms around Kang Dabao's legs, and said sadly.

"Third brother, take your senior sister and the others downstairs." Kang Dabao impatiently broke free and turned his head away. He couldn't bear to see He Wanying like this.

As the master's favorite, she shouldn't be like this. Love is harmful.
"Tell me what happened." Pei Yi and Jiang Qing dragged He Wanying and her husband out of the hall. Kang Dabao looked at Yuan Jin and asked.

"I don't know. After she came back, she just cried and couldn't utter a word." Yuan Jin said with a dark face.

"Don't talk nonsense. You were best friends with her back then. How could you resist asking? Tell me!" Sect Leader Kang slammed the table. There was one less item from the belongings moved from Wuxiang Sect. Kang Dabao felt distressed, so he naturally put the spirit stone on Yuan Jin.

Yuan Jin had a sour face, sighed, and then said, "She brought the storage bag left to her by her master and went to find Feng Wan, and the two rented a shop in Jingnan Prefecture.

She was not able to master the talisman-making skill, and her business was not good. Not only could she not earn rent money, but she also delayed her cultivation. After a few years like this, she was living off her savings, which forced Feng Wan to work hard.

This bastard only has the qualifications of five spiritual roots. After so many years of cultivation, he is still at the fourth level of Qi training. Yet he has the guts to hunt monsters.

The first time they went into the mountains, they returned empty-handed and unscathed, but on the way they did pick up a storage bag and a few dozen spirit stones. But before the couple could be happy, someone came after them following the smell.

When Yuan Jin said this, Kang Dabao's eyes already understood.

"Who blackmailed them?"

"It's a Qi training gang, with several gang leaders and elders in the late stage of Qi training. The storage bag was set up by his minions. It is said that the original owner was a deacon of his family. He was killed the day before Feng Wan picked up the storage bag, and the storage bag disappeared."

"Is it such a coincidence?!" Kang Dabao sneered.

"Who knows whether this deacon actually existed or not," Yuan Jin shook his head. This was just a simple method that the evil people usually used to blackmail independent cultivators. It was common and nothing new.

Then he said, "This can't be shaken off. She hasn't had a good life these past few years. The last time she came back to steal spiritual objects was because Feng Wanxing was angry and needed spiritual stones to save her life.

"She is so stupid that she doesn't even know how to follow us." Kang Dabao was about to scold her, but he sighed.

He Wanying was not stupid at all. She had already realized that if she really knew the truth, she would never let her go back, and no one would care about her husband.

"Then how did you get rid of it this time?" Kang Dabao asked again.

“They didn’t get rid of them. The two of them took the antidote beforehand, and used the incense left by the master, mixed with some blood-pouring powder, and lit it, knocking out the guards who ran out.

There are at least one or two groups of people chasing them, and there are other troubles." Yuan Jin said in a deep voice, and Kang Dabao also frowned when he heard it.

————Inside the External Affairs Hall of the Black Sand Peak of the Liangyi Sect,
Song Xueqiao looked at Chen Ye carefully for a long time before speaking: "Junior Brother Chen, Fengzheng has already decided on your assignment yesterday. It is to serve as a priest at the Ge family in Fengzhou."

Chen Ye hurriedly responded respectfully: "Junior brother will go to the master to ask for resignation, and set off today to Fengzhou."

"Oh, no hurry." Song Xueqiao stretched out his hand to stop Chen Ye, and said calmly: "It's not going to Fengzhou, but to Baisha County, Jingnan Prefecture, and be neighbors with your old neighbor again."

"Old neighbor? Fengqin is talking about Chongming Sect?" Chen Ye was silent for a while and thought to himself that this was not difficult to guess.

"Well, when the Fengzhou Ge family is ready, their entire family will move with you to Baisha County, Jingnan Prefecture." Song Xueqiao continued, "Not only the Fengzhou Ge family, but also the Zhenling Sect and Changxian Lin family will all go to Baisha County."

"Are these three foundation-building forces all going to Baisha County?" Chen Ye was a little surprised, but then he changed his mind. After all, his master, Jiang Yuancai, the chief of Heisha Peak, got the position of being in charge of the Jingnan state, which is an honor that many veteran chiefs cannot get.

We have to do some big things to show the elders and leaders before we can give an explanation.

Jiang Qing had already lost face with the leader of the Liangyi Sect beforehand, and recently the Chongming Sect even dared to go to the border of Yunjiao Prefecture and stir up trouble in an area adjacent to the Hongyi Sect of Dingzhou.

Seeing that Zhou Ting's horse bones were about to turn into a real good horse, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, there was no force weaker and easier to achieve success than Chong Mingzong.

It benefits you in no time, so why not do it?

"Another foundation-building cultivator has died in the Fengzhou Ge family, so they can no longer occupy the second-grade superior spiritual land.

Among the three families of the Qingyun League, the Ruijin Sect was completely destroyed and its lineage of magic was cut off; the Zhenling Sect and the Changxian Lin Family each lost two or three people who established their foundation, and were forced by Kuang Liuting to lose all the spiritual lands in Yunjiao Prefecture. Now they can only live as guests in several friendly forces in Jingnan Prefecture.

The sect was kind and generous, so they allocated a sacred area in Baisha County for the three families to live in peace. They wanted the three families to be united from now on and establish their own sects. Fengzheng had already chosen the name of the sect, and he would use "Changning" as his name.

Song Xueqiao paused here, and then said softly: "The three families have not yet reached an agreement on the position of the head of the Changning Sect. According to Fengzheng's opinion, after Junior Brother has established a firm foothold, perhaps you can give it a try. Anyway, Junior Brother is used to doing this, and is familiar with it, so it shouldn't be difficult."

Chen Ye pondered for a while, then bowed and said, "Please give me your instructions, Feng Qien."

Song Xueqiao smiled slowly and said, "It's very simple. If Kuang Liuting can make this useless Chongming Sect return to the list of foundation-building sects, then our Black Sand Peak will defeat it again. Speaking of which, Zhang Yuandao's sect has been established for more than 200 years, which is a bit long."

After saying this, Song Xueqiao turned his gaze to the tea in the cup and gently blew away the foam in front of him.

"There is no rush for this matter. Just take your time. The higher he climbs, the louder the fall will be."
