Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 286 My Virtuous Wife Helps Me Soar to the Sky

Two sharp golden auras blocked the road, but the old cultivator with long eyebrows who was fleeing for his life did not even look at them. Relying on the thick mysterious light emitted by the first-grade top-quality armor on his body, he rushed out without slowing down.

As a result, Mingzhe's flying sword that was chasing behind him was one step late and fell into the air.

The earth collapsed, rocks shattered, and sand and gravel splashed, hitting the Xuanguan shield with a crackling sound, but the old cultivator with long eyebrows in front ignored it and kept moving forward.

That damn Hemu Dao can't go back. He joined this sect halfway for the protection of foundation building and the support of disciples, not for the battlefield with thousands of cultivators and fighting to the death with the major foundation building sects.

With cultivation, the world is vast and there is no place you cannot go!
But after the old cultivator with long eyebrows broke through the golden energy, he was unable to escape far, as a handsome young man appeared in front of him.

The short thorn weapon in the young man's hand was sharp. With just a sudden strike, it easily pierced through the mysterious light emitted by the armor.

The old cultivator with long eyebrows was unable to dodge and only moved half of his body, and the short thorn hit his armor. Although the armor was safe and sound, his blood was boiling due to the impact of the short thorn magic weapon.

The old cultivator had fought many battles, and feeling the sharp pain in his waist, he knew that it was probably a damage to his kidneys. He cursed inwardly and was about to cry out in pain when he saw the two black pupils of the handsome young man opposite him turn into amber, and a chaotic spiritual light slowly emanated from him.

The old monk with long eyebrows, who was still frightened by the corpse refining, suddenly felt his whole body stiffen and he could no longer move.

Pei Que has been studying the pupil technique of "Yingxu" for several years, and has now cultivated this top-grade pupil technique to the minor success stage.

In the past, he had difficulty subduing even some mid- and low-grade first-level monsters, but now, Pei Que can easily take down a late-stage cultivator. His progress is truly remarkable.

It stands to reason that with his talent in pupil techniques, even if his progress in practicing the Golden Eyes is slower than that of Master Kang, he should not be unable to even reach the threshold. This is indeed a strange thing.

Seeing Pei Que succeed, Mingzhe beside him took out the God-Locking Talisman and stuck it on the forehead of the old monk with long eyebrows. In this way, the Hemu Dao deacon who was in the late stage of Qi training was easily subdued by the two of them.

The formation of a hundred corpses set up by the Changning Sect was truly horrifying, and it could actually scare even an old cultivator who had experienced a lot into this state.

Mingzhe was still young and could not understand what the legendary great terror between life and death was.

When he saw the old cultivator's appearance, there was no sympathy on his face. He just raised a ball of clear air in his hand and hit the old cultivator in the face. After the ferocious expression on his face slowly calmed down, the old cultivator closed his eyes and stopped moving.

He took off his armor and magical tools, and also took off the storage bag around his waist.

As a disciple of Chongming, I have been exposed to this matter since I was young. Under the guidance of the elders, I am familiar with doing these things.

However, this old cultivator is not an enemy. Even if he has committed a crime, he should be taken back to the teachers and leaders for punishment. These things must not be embezzled, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Chongming disciples.

The two of them are doing this now just to separate the person and the device so as to avoid some trouble during the escort.

Just as the two of them finished their work, two familiar figures came up from the front. The leading monk was dressed in white and had a handsome face. When he saw the two of them, he shook his head and said:

"Brother Pei and Brother Ming don't need to go ahead. There seems to be no one ahead. Even if there were more, it would probably be impossible to catch up."

"How many people did Junior Brother Kang capture?" Pei Que asked curiously when he saw Kang Rongquan and Kuai En who followed closely behind him.

"There are only three or four people," Kang Rongquan said without much interest. He pointed at Kuai Enyan beside him and said:
"They are all small characters. None of the famous cultivators recruited by Hemu Dao in recent years. Most of them were taken care of by Brother Kuai. I am not needed. Not only I am not needed, but the chain talismans are not wasted. I just saw Brother Duan coming back, so I put them on directly and asked him to carry them with me."

Only then did Kuai En hurried forward to greet Pei Que and the other two. He was still respectful in his words. Facing two younger generations who were as old as his own sons and nephews, he called them "brother, brother" in a very affectionate and unhesitating manner.

Pei Que returned the greeting with a serious expression, while Mingzhe found it quite interesting. After hearing the words "brother" gradually, he began to feel a good impression of Kuai En.

"In that case, let's go back now, so that our teachers don't worry." Mingzhe's eyes were still eager to try, but Kang Rongquan and Pei Que tacitly understood each other and didn't say a word.

Sect Leader Kang sent them out to hunt down these scattered Hemu Dao disciples and Changning Sect vassals, not because he was really afraid that they would cause trouble in the local area.

If I go back too early, I'm afraid I'll be scolded.

Kuai En was a very smart person. Even the head of Kangda had praised his ability to judge the situation. If he had not seen through this, why would he lead Kuai's men to follow the footsteps of Chongming's disciples?

It's just to reduce the number of deaths.

Kang Rongquan and Pei Que found a place, planted a six-leaf green lotus flag, distributed talismans, and summoned all their fellow disciples to gather there.

Ye Pingshui, Ye Yaoling and Zhang Yue were the first to arrive, capturing six defeated Hemu Dao soldiers; Duan Anle followed with Yuan Changsheng, using iron chains to tie up a dozen Hemu Dao monks of varying levels of cultivation.
After everyone arrived, they were called by the team leader Chu Huer. Pei Que, who was in charge of this matter, counted the number of people captured: there were three people in the late Qi training stage, twenty-three people in the middle Qi training stage, and forty-six people in the early Qi training stage, a total of less than a hundred people.

In addition, there were also thirty or forty Hemudao soldiers who could not be captured alive and were killed after they stubbornly resisted.

Most of them were captured by the vassal families. Chongming disciples only captured 20 to 30 people in total.

However, the casualties on the Chongming Sect's side were not great. Only Ye Pingshui and Sun Fu suffered minor injuries, and Niu Kuang was covered in six wounds and borrowed elixir from Chu Huer to save his life.

This is related to the fact that the deserters have lost their will to fight and many of them surrendered, to the fact that the current disciples are becoming more and more capable, and to the fact that Master Kang has always insisted on the school's tradition of seeking stability in everything.

The disciples did not seek to achieve merit in this battle. They all adhered to the principle: "When encountering a strong enemy, unless it is a critical moment, do not show off your strength, just let it go."

In Kang Dabao's eyes, the few disciples he had accumulated over twenty or thirty years were extremely valuable.

They are just a few defeated soldiers of Hemu Dao. If you can capture them, then capture them. If you can’t, then protect your own safety first. The lives of Chongming disciples are much more valuable than theirs.

In comparison, the casualties of the other families who followed Chongming's disciples were much greater.

Among the patrolmen, Shao Wei died. Shao Meng's eyes were red, but she couldn't cry out. The beauty shedding tears was the most moving thing.

The second son of the Feng family couldn't help but look at him twice more, and then he thought of his elder brother who had just died in battle. He felt a sense of empathy and wanted to embrace him to comfort him, but he didn't know what he thought of. A trace of panic flashed in his crooked eyes, and in the end he still didn't move;
Only one of the guards of Qinghan Court died, but it was said that he was from a poor family in Yingzhou. He followed the Fei family all the way from the prosperous capital to this small county in this state, most likely just like the Chongming Sect's Zhang Zushi back then, wanting to pursue a career.

But he died quietly in this desolate wilderness, and I don't know if he regretted it before he died.
The Kuai family lost several sons-in-law that Kuai En had high hopes for. Fortunately, the daughters of the Kuai family are still here, and they can be replaced next year. However, in this way, there will inevitably be a few more new faces in the spiritual fields of Chongming Sect in the future;
On the Lu family side, the head of the family, Lu Xun, was seriously injured, and the second head of the family, Lu Zhen, died. It is unknown whether he has used up all the spirit stones he earned from Hengshan that year.

The Xue family suffered the most. Chu Huer heard from the Xue family members who escaped that the head of the Xue family, Xue Hu, and most of the Xue family disciples had suffered badly.

In fact, they had never thought about contributing their lives to the Chongming Sect, but they were spotted by a group of late-stage Hemu Dao disciples who were busy fleeing. In panic, they had nowhere to hide and were slaughtered.

All together, there were nearly twenty casualties.

Fortunately, the casualties among Chongming's disciples were not serious, and Chu Huer did not have to worry about being held accountable by Sect Leader Kang.

However, the number of Hemu Dao soldiers captured and killed was much less than the number of Hemu Dao disciples who were actually dispersed by the Changning Sect's Hundred Corpses Formation.

The heads and captured men are all there. This matter cannot be faked and cannot be hidden from the eyes of others.

Chu Huer, the team leader, thought about it and decided to search around the area to avoid being criticized by the other families and having weird things said about them when he returned.

There must be some deserters nearby, such as the group of late-stage monks who almost wiped out the Xue family. With a large group of troops gathered, there is no need to be afraid of those scattered soldiers who fled from the battlefield.

To put it another way, even if it cannot be found, it will at least delay another day or two, which is exactly what Master Kang wants.

Chu Huer led his team to search for two days, and finally found another 20 to 30 people. The Hemudao team that massacred the Xue family was not able to escape, and Chu Huer killed three of his peers with a one-legged bronze hammer, and the rest were not spared, and were all killed on the spot.

Chu Huer also gave all the storage bags these people brought to the Xue family monks as compensation. This move made the monks from various families who were originally dissatisfied feel much better. At least everyone in Chongming Sect was as open and honest as before, working hard, and there was always some compensation in return.

Just when Chu Huer was about to lead the team back, an unexpected person appeared in front of everyone.

----

Xuanwei City, the Sheshan Hall branch of the Fei family.

As usual, the crisp sound of abacus could be heard inside the hall, and outside the hall there was drizzling rain and a lazy breeze.

A yellow-green dead leaf floated into the hall with the autumn wind and landed on Fenan's hair. The man didn't pay attention to it and continued to move his hands as usual, as if the abacus was a magical trick of the immortals and a beautiful young lady, making it difficult to take his eyes off it.

Fei's wife, Han, was sitting opposite Fei Nan'ao. She had been seeing this man for nearly half a century, but she still couldn't get enough of him.

The daughter of the Yukun Han clan, a prestigious family in the world, married into the Fei clan, a small clan that was dependent on the royal family and did not even have a golden elixir. To this day, she didn't know how many sisters in the same clan laughed at her behind her back, but she never cared.

She had been filled with joy since the first day she married Fernando. She had always been, was still, and would continue to be so in the future.

It was unknown how long it had passed before Fenan finally stopped calculating. Looking at his plump and attractive old wife in a palace dress, with eyes still as charming as before, the state court Sima couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Why are you staring at me so closely? Shu He finally came back, you should take her out more often. The wife of Governor Zhu holds poetry and incense gatherings every few days, and Yu Yao happened to come with her, why don't you take her with you to show off a bit."

"You bastard," Fei's wife glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said coquettishly, "How can you understand a girl's mind at all? During the days when Shu He came back, has he ever been interested in having fun?"

There were no outsiders in the hall anymore, so Sima Fei was much more relaxed than usual. He put away his abacus and raised his eyebrows when he heard his wife's words: "It's not uncommon for a girl to be outgoing. Why, is she here to help that fat boy again this time?"

"It's not just that fat boy," Fei's wife said, also finding it funny: "These few days, all the sisters in the family were invited, and when the banquet started, they brought the fat boy from the side room with them. Those sisters are the elders, so how could they not give gifts when they saw him? In just a few days, the kid has become covered in jewels and silks."

"Oh, such a beautiful heart is the most precious." After hearing this, Fei Nan'an smiled a little, then stared at his old wife and said, "This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Although Kang's family is low-class, he has a promising future.

As long as he follows the uncle and makes the horse bone well, there will be a good situation in Shannan Road in the future. If it is in the future, there may be a great fortune.

Although Shu He's marriage was not good, she did not have any uncles, aunts or elders to look after her and cause trouble, which is something that many noble ladies could hardly have.

Let life be hard, at least we can live in harmony.

Even though there are so many noble ladies in your Han family who married into prominent families or married into the royal family, how many of them are engaged in intrigue and competing for beauty all day long?

It's fine to compete with those coquettish women for men, but it's the most foolish to devote all your energy to those things and neglect your own cultivation. I think Shu He has made good progress in his cultivation this time. I'm afraid he will be able to try to build his foundation in one or two years.

By then, I will have done my best for my poor brother and his wife."

Upon hearing this, Fei's wife glared at him again and said bluntly, "You are just eating a piece of wick, it's easy for you to say it. I brought Shu He up by myself, in my eyes, she is the same as Wan Qing.

You are happy being a hands-off boss, how can you be as distressed as I am? Shu He was harmed by the Kuang family, you don't care, it's fine; but if Wan Qing returns in the future, I will see how I will settle the score with you. "

Fei Nan'an shook his head and laughed: "Wanqing is practicing peacefully under the tutelage of Patriarch Ye, why do we need to worry about her marriage. Speaking of which, aren't you the one who hates family products the most? After listening to it today, how come you really follow those..."

Fei's wife was unhappy and interrupted him to answer: "When a daughter gets married, we first look at her family's character, her character, and her qualifications. This family's character is something that no one can ask for, so we can let it go.

Among those people under your command, there are those like Gun Shilu, who have decent aptitude but poor character. It is clear that the golden elixir is not impossible, but they seek convenience, are willing to be humble, and take the shortcut. Such people are definitely not to be married;

For someone like Kang, whose talent is low and whose character is bad, even if he becomes Bingye, he will have no future. "

After hearing his wife's judgment, Fernando felt relieved but also smiled bitterly.

Gun Shilu was covered in wounds and had served for nearly half a century. He had finally begged from Kuang Liuting for a fake elixir career, but in the eyes of his wife, he was willing to be humiliated.

If this were to be said out loud, I wonder how many people would feel mixed emotions after hearing it.

Fei Sima had no intention of arguing with his wife, so he just said, "Madam, it's fine that Kang Dabao has inferior talent, but his character is really not bad."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his wife:
"He's just a little bastard who likes to lust after women and bully women. He has no future at all. My Shu He has been wronged. Not only does he cry poor for his return, but he also treats the maid's child like a treasure and protects it tightly. He doesn't even want me, his grandmother, to even look at it for a second."

When Sima Fei heard his wife talking about it again and again, he remembered the look of love on his niece's face when she held Kang Changyi in her arms, and he laughed out loud: "When Shu He comes back with a child of my Fei family's bloodline, I will definitely hold a big banquet and make it a great party."

"If you really care about her, then find some people to help Kang. I don't care about him, but it hurts to see Shu He so frightened all day long. You can't even help a small sect that doesn't even have fake pills?

You don't even need to send anyone from your hall, but just gather some old people from the capital and send them over. How many days can Changning Sect hold out?"

"Women's opinions," Fei Nanyang was about to say these four words, but when he saw his wife's expression, he swallowed them back:
"You don't know much. Don't worry about these things. With the Black Shoe Taoist here, Kang will be fine. The New Cloud Alliance has suppressed the Changning Sect and it has to rely on formations to survive. The Yue family and Tie Liuyun have been praised in front of the uncle because of this. It's a good thing that I don't make trouble, how can I add icing on the cake for them at this time?"

"Okay, okay, I don't care about these things. Just listen to my Master Fei." Mrs. Fei was quite bored after hearing these things, and finally talked to Fei Nan'an about the most important business of the day:
"My master asked me to ask you, what kind of pill-forming spiritual object did Kuang Liuting prepare for you? Is it compatible with your pill theory? If it is compatible, when will it be given to you? If it is too late, you will miss the grand event a hundred years later."

Fei Nan'an frowned upon hearing this, and turned to his wife, saying with emotion: "My uncle gave me the Dongshan Jade a month ago, and it fits my theory of elixir very well. If I use this to make an elixir, I should have an 80% chance of making one within ten years."

Mrs. Fei was delighted, but after seeing the expression on Fei Nan's face, the joy on her face gradually faded, and she said again: "Are you still thinking about it?"

Fei Nan'an was silent for a while, then said solemnly: "I still want to give it a try. If I waste half my life and only earn a future of a low-grade golden elixir, I will be forgotten by the crowd in the end, and it will be difficult for me to ennoble my wife and children. I really can't bear it."

When Fei's wife heard this, she did not try to persuade him: "My dear, you have great ambitions. As your wife, I will not hold you back. My lord is still here. If you need anything, just tell me and I will go home and get it."

Fei Nan was surprised for a moment, then quickly laughed and said, "I just said Shu He came back to collect money, how come Madam has followed suit?!"

Mrs. Fei rolled her eyes at her again: "Don't pretend, what if you don't want it?!"

"Yes!" Fei Sima's expression was solemn, but this time he answered with absolute certainty. After the couple looked at each other, they both smiled, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became cheerful.

"If Shu He could learn half of your abilities, my Sheshan Hall would be emptied out by her." Seeing his wife being so virtuous, Fei Nan'ao was very pleased and started to joke.

Mrs. Fei stopped talking and just snuggled up to Sima Fei's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling at ease.

Fei Nan'ao hugged his virtuous wife, but he was thinking of Kang Dabao and Hei Lu Taoist in his heart, and silently said: "After this matter is over, we can't let them get involved with the Yue family and Tie Liuyun.

The Bright Moon Token and the Guanshan Cave House are nothing. If Hei Lu wants to go, just give it to him. In Yunjiaozhou, it is so difficult to form a golden elixir without surrendering to the state government. Hei Lu should be able to see it clearly. After forming the elixir, how can a mere Yunjiaozhou accommodate him?
The Yingzhou clan should make more efforts. No matter where Hei Lu is lured, it will not be as beneficial as absorbing him into our clan. Even the Chongming Sect can be moved to Yingzhou if the time is right. I will definitely have formed the elixir by then, so I will just give them a chance. "
