The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 37 It is better to offend the noble family than to offend the Xuan clan
Lang Jiuchuan was indeed a little touched, but he calmed down after being suddenly interrupted by Jiang Che.

Perhaps the old man has some compassion for the whole family, but this little bit of care is the only thing that can appease the real owner, right?
It’s not like I’ve lived in vain.

"Grandmother is still here, please keep it." Lang Jiuchuan put the deed and banknotes back and handed them back to Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang shook her head and said, "Since it was given to Ninth Miss by the old lady, you can keep it yourself. You don't have to worry about anyone finding out. Not to mention that not many people know about this, even if they did, who would dare to say anything if the old lady gave some of her treasure to her beloved son and grandchildren? It's the old lady's own treasure. Can you say she's biased? People's hearts are biased. Even ten fingers have different lengths."

She turned her head and saw that the old lady was already drowsy, so she said, "Old lady, what you miss most is you and your daughter."

Lang Jiuchuan grasped the brocade bag and said, "I don't think I've ever seen a portrait of my second...father."

"The old lady got sick because she missed him too much. That's why Shoukang Hall didn't dare to keep the second master's portrait, for fear that seeing the painting would remind people of him. The second lady should have one." Nanny Wang paused for a moment, thinking of her and Cui's disagreement, and then said, "Besides hers, there is one in the ancestral hall."

Lang Jiuchuan nodded and put the brocade bag into his waist. When he looked at the old lady again, she had already fallen asleep with her head tilted. He stared at the wrinkles on her face for a long while before saying to Nanny Wang, "Thank you for your trouble."

Nanny Wang smiled and said, "The old lady will definitely be very happy to have you in the mansion in the future."

Lang Jiuchuan paused for a long while before he hummed.

When they were leaving Shoukang Hall, the general said, "Now you can't leave even if you want to, right?"

Lang Jiuchuan answered the question irrelevantly: "Have you got back all the things I asked you to find?"

"Of course, how can I, the great White Tiger King, escape in vain? I left everything in the house." Jiang Qi floated in front of her and said fiercely, "What were you doing yesterday? How did your body become so dilapidated? I tell you, even if you want to die, you have to tell me in advance, so that I can run away and don't implicate me."

"If you had given me a little more willpower, I wouldn't have suffered such a backlash." Lang Jiuchuan snorted coldly.

Jiang Qi laughed: "I don't think you have many other abilities, but your ability to turn the tables is unmatched. You are courting death, and you blame me?"

Lang Jiuchuan remained calm: "We all prosper together and we all suffer together. Be a tiger and have a bigger vision. What's wrong with giving me some more?"

This sounds so familiar. What did she say when she was arguing with me?

Jiang Che was just thinking about retorting to what he had said, but Lang Jiuchuan didn't give him a chance to counterattack and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you come back with a bit of bad luck?"

what?
Jiang Che subconsciously looked to his side. Was it bad luck?
But her interruption reminded it of something.

"I was stealing ashes from Ci'en Temple... No, I heard something when I was picking up incense ashes. I thought you could help solve it and get some merit to repair your body."

"Oh?"

Jiang Che squatted on her shoulder and said, "I heard that Shen Qinghe, the Dali Temple official in Wujing Sijingfang, has a son named Shen Peng who seems to have been possessed by an evil spirit recently. He is now recuperating in Ci'en Temple."

After hearing this, Lang Jiuchuan said, "Since Ci'en Temple is a Buddhist temple that is open to the public and welcomes all kind-hearted people, a simple case of being possessed by evil spirits will naturally be solved."

"It really can't be solved. Even though he lives in Ci'en Temple, he is still losing his vitality. I see that he has become as thin as a bamboo pole and his vitality is almost drained away. I heard that the Shen family is using their connections to find people from the three major Xuan clans to exorcise the evil spirit." Lang Jiuchuan's mind moved: "The three major Xuan clans?"

"You don't know? They are the three major families with Taoist roots, the Gong, Rong, and Feng families." Jiang Che told what he had heard from Old Ginkgo over the past year: "Do you think that just because Buddhism and Taoism exist in this mortal world, everyone can slay evil and exterminate demons? If the spiritual energy here is really that strong, I wouldn't have failed in my tribulation, and I wouldn't have failed to transform into a divine beast and almost lost my spiritual consciousness."

The country of Dadan does have spiritual energy, but it is not as spiritual as the fairyland, especially in the secular world, where the spiritual energy is even thinner. It is actually very difficult for monks who enter Buddhism or Taoism to really cultivate to a certain level. One reason is the lack of spiritual energy, and the other is because of their understanding.

The reason why the three major Xuan clans are called Xuan clans is because their ancestral bloodlines once produced Taoist immortals and they are born with Taoist roots. Once the Taoist roots are inherited from their ancestors, they have extremely strong comprehension, and when they realize the Tao or Buddhist principles, they will progress faster and more thoroughly than ordinary alchemists.

Precisely because of the inheritance from generation to generation, these families possess deeper Buddhist and Taoist resources, such as rare and unique copies of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, or mental methods, as well as elixir recipes, magical instruments, etc., which are treasures that outsiders cannot obtain at all.

If we say that the three dukes and nine ministers of the Dadan Kingdom are noble and precious, no, in terms of real nobility, they are not as noble as the three major Xuan clans, because if they dare to do it, they can call the wind and rain and cause chaos in the world, not to mention that what they know is very mysterious. If you provoke them, they will secretly cast a spell on you and your whole family will be doomed. Who can withstand it?

Therefore, it is better to offend the aristocratic families than to offend the Xuan clan. This is the reason, because you can't beat them and you can't afford to gamble.

The Xuan clan is born with a supreme aura because they have the capital to be proud.

After hearing this, Lang Jiuchuan frowned and felt inexplicably annoyed. He said, "If this is the case, then aren't they just walking sideways in this world?"

"That's not true. Although the Xuan Clan is proud, do you think that Dao root is like cabbage that everyone can have? They are not as good as me." Jiang Che snorted and said, "Take the Rong Clan for example. I heard that among the hundreds of people in their clan, only one Dao root remains. They are already at the bottom of the list. If this Dao root is also broken, the Rong Clan may not be able to keep the things left by their ancestors."

"That is to say, even though they have accumulated those Taoist resources, not everyone can practice Taoism?"

Jiang Che nodded: "That's true, but if someone has one or two, it's enough to make a living. And with such blood, even if the comprehension is not as strong as those with Dao roots, they will still be more or less capable. After all, practicing Taoism is also about cultivating the mind and nurturing the nature. And those with Dao roots are the treasures of their clan, so the three major clans intermarry to ensure that the next generation can have Dao roots. Especially those with Dao roots must never intermarry with people outside the Xuan clan to avoid mixing up their blood."

Lang Jiuchuan sneered, somewhat disapprovingly.

"In addition, the three major Xuan clans dare not act arbitrarily and openly, not only because not everyone in them has a Dao root, but also because there is another clan that is suppressing them."

Lang Jiuchuan was stunned. There is another clan?
"In fact, it is not correct to say that there are three major clans. They should be four major clans. The royal family of Tantai also has the inheritance of the root of Taoism." Jiang Che said: "The mysterious national teacher of Dan country and the saint who protects the country are both from the royal family."

hum.

Lang Jiuchuan felt a sudden sharp pain in the head. She groaned in pain and squatted on the ground holding her head.
