I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 380 The tradition in my hometown is to have three wives and four concubines!

"I wonder why?"

Chu Qingyi said this, tightening the fishing rod in his hand.

“I said.”

Jiang Chuan had heard Gong Suxin talk about the difference between my Tao and the Tao of Heaven and Earth before.

His way of chaos, way of time, and way of void all belong to the innate great way.

The heart way of the Heart Saint, the way of education of the Literature Saint, and the way of war of the Military Saint are all the ways they created through their understanding of the Great Dao. They are the ways that belong to them alone, and that is my way.

"In my previous life, I traveled through the Qingyuan Realm and gained the fortune left by the Yaoguang Sword Immortal, which enabled me to become a Sword Immortal."

Chu Qingyi's eyes flashed with reminiscence as she spoke slowly, "In this life, I have inherited another portion of the destiny and the Dao lineage left by the Yaoguang Sword Immortal. However, I suddenly realized that my sword training and sword studies were all due to my father's death in the immortal tribulation in my previous life. My mother hoped that I could become a sword immortal and fulfill my father's regret."

"I followed my mother's expectations of me, practicing swordsmanship, learning swordsmanship, and understanding the way of the sword. But after I became a sword immortal, I found that I didn't seem to like the way of the sword that much."

Rabbit nudged Jiang Chuan and whispered, "Jiang Chuan, this girl's talent is terrifying! Even though she was forced to learn swordsmanship, she still became a Sword Immortal. If she finds her own way, becoming an Immortal King, if not an Immortal Emperor, is a sure thing."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Fellow Daoist Chu, you have traveled through the mortal world. Do you have any clues about your own Dao?"

"No clue."

Chu Qingyi shook her head: "But since Daoist Jiang is visiting today, Qingyi would like to ask Daoist Jiang, what is your Dao?"

"I wonder why?"

Jiang Chuan chewed it over and over again, he actually hadn't thought about this question.

"My current cultivation is actually just following the natural flow to comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth."

Chu Qingyi continued to ask: "Then why did you become a cultivator?"

"When I first knew I could cultivate, all I could think about was becoming an immortal and roaming the world."

Jiang Chuan recalled the beginning of his time traveling through time and a smile appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang and many other Daoists are exactly the same when they first embark on the path of cultivation."

Before Chu Qingyi finished speaking, a rumbling sound was heard in the sky.

"So, fellow Daoist, has your cultivation up to this point been based on your original goal?"

Jiang Chuan nodded, then shook his head. "That's partly why, but it also has something to do with my circumstances. After entering Bodhi Temple, I discovered that the so-called spiritual practice was actually just doing odd jobs there. Back then, working every day was exhausting. There was endless corn to pick and firewood to chop."

"My only thought at the time was, I wanted to leave the Menial Works Court and go to the Martial Monk Court, and stop doing menial work."

"At the same time, I didn't want to live a life of seclusion. After entering the Martial Monk Academy, all I could think about was conquering the Sandalwood Forest and returning to secular life."

Jiang Chuan didn't continue speaking, but he knew what he would do next, and Chu Qingyi should already know it.

After leaving Bodhi Temple, he was hunted by Ji Yanran and fled to Kuntian Immortal Mansion. After escaping, he killed Ji Yanran and obtained the inheritance of Demon Lord Anyu. He began to gain fame in the Qingyuan Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I think it's more like it's coming from your heart than just going with the flow."

There was envy in Chu Qingyi's beautiful eyes.

"Every choice you make is often made because of what I want to do. And for me, it's what others want me to do. It's just like this reincarnation."

"I actually thought my eldest and third sisters were too risky. But after their repeated persuasion, I finally agreed to reincarnate with them."

Jiang Chuan was speechless.

People like Chu Qingyi are typical of those who have no opinions of their own.

"My personality doesn't really make me look like a sword immortal."

Chu Qingyi laughed at himself and then asked, "By the way, what brings you here to see Qingyi today, Brother Jiang?"

"I calculated that I had a marriage destiny with Fellow Daoist Chu, so I came here to find you and hope to become your Taoist partner." Jiang Chuan went straight to the point.

"Friend Jiang and I are destined to be together?"

Chu Qingyi was very surprised: "But I met a Taoist friend named Yan Yifeng before. He said that the Taoist friend Shen Suanzi in the Chi Ming Realm predicted that I have a marriage with him in this life."

Jiangchuan:? ? ?
No, how could someone use the same trick as me, Jiang, to fool others?

"I've also seen the Divine Calculator. Although he does have some abilities, he's only a half-immortal."

Jiang Chuan said proudly, "How could a half-immortal understand cause and effect and fate better than a true immortal like me?"

Rumble!
A dull thunder rumbled, and a silver-white lightning streaked across the sky.

"Why do I feel like God is reminding me that what you said, Brother Jiang, is a lie." Chu Qingyi blinked her big eyes.

"This is just a coincidence, Fellow Daoist Chu, don't take it seriously. And even if the Heavenly Dao really felt it, it would definitely help me."

Well, he, Jiang, got the Sky Dao Tree. Theoretically, the Daoming Heavenly Emperor is him, Jiang. If Heaven doesn’t help him, will it help others?
"I actually think that it would be nice to become a Taoist couple with Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Chu Qingyi smiled and said, "After all, whether it's the eldest sister or the third sister, neither of them can be as humorous and witty as Fellow Daoist Jiang."

"What I said is true."

"The Way of Heaven is impartial and selfless, merciless and selfless. How could it possibly favor someone? In my two lifetimes as a human being, this is the first time I've seen someone as serious and joking as Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Jiangchuan: "."

I'm really not kidding you!
The Sky Dao Tree is in my hands, so theoretically I really am the Dao Ming Tiandi!
"Cough cough!"

After coughing twice, Jiang Chuan spoke again.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chu thinks it's a good idea to become my Dao partner, and we have a marriage destiny, why don't we become Dao partners as soon as possible."

Chu Qingyi looked apologetic: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this matter is too sudden. I am now wandering in the mortal world, searching for my own path, and I have no intention of looking for a Daoist partner."

"One day, when I want to find a Taoist partner, we'll talk about it later."

Jiang Chuan touched his chin.

If it were a normal monk, he would think there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But the person who said this was Chu Qingyi.

Mother, Chu Wan'er and Chu Qiong'er can all influence Chu Qingyi!
Even if Chu Qingyi really wants to find a Taoist partner one day, if Chu Wan'er says, Qingyi, you should concentrate on practicing Taoism.

Then Chu Qingyi would most likely listen to Chu Wan'er and give up the idea of ​​looking for a Taoist partner.

Rumble!
Silvery-white electric snakes were flying, and drizzle fell from the sky onto the small lake, creating countless ripples.

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and used his magic power to condense an oil-paper umbrella, covering the two of them, and then stared at Chu Qingyi with a serious expression.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, believe me, you need a Daoist companion right now! You need someone to protect you from the wind and rain!"

"I need a Taoist partner right now?" Chu Qingyi was a little surprised.

"Whether you're willing to wade into the muddy waters of the Qingyuan Realm or not, you're already in it."

Silver-white lightning flashed again, illuminating Jiang Chuan's handsome face.

"You think you don't need a Taoist companion right now, but that's just your illusion. If you really don't need one, why would fate, why would the origin of the Qingyuan Realm, guide me here?"

Jiang Chuan stared at Chu Qingyi, and their eyes met.

"Everything is clear. You need a Taoist companion now!"

"I need a Taoist companion right now."

Chu Qingyi muttered to himself woodenly, as if he was thinking.

Wow!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down like a bucket on Pingliang City.

"Should I add more firewood?"

Looking at Chu Qingyi who had not yet made up her mind, Jiang Chuan made up her mind while her thoughts were churning.

Jiang Chuan put his arms around Chu Qingyi's willow-like waist and held her in his arms.

"From now on, you are my Taoist partner."

Chu Qingyi tried to break free from Jiang Chuan's embrace, but was held tightly by him. She said with some dissatisfaction, "How can you, Daoist Jiang, force people like this? You're too overbearing! Does this sound like something a True Immortal would do?"

"I am the founder of the Demonic Path, the junior brother of the Demon Lord Qi Sha. Senior Brother Qi Sha was able to fight his way to the Immortal Palace and forcibly snatch Shangguan Mengli, so naturally I cannot fall behind."

Simulation is not reality, so what is there that Mr. Jiang dare not do?
He was a traitor and a father-in-law terminator. He destroyed the Changle Demon Star and blew up the Feixian Land, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of billions of lives.

"But I heard that you have an unclear relationship with Fairy Mu from Bamboo Fairy Island and An Yunyi from the Supreme Demon Sect."

Chu Qingyi leaned against Jiang Chuan's chest and raised her delicate head to look at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan said seriously, "No one has stipulated that there can only be one Taoist companion. Besides, the tradition in my hometown is to have three wives and four concubines."

No one has stipulated that a person can only have one, right?
Dixing is the hometown of Mr. Jiang, and Taicang can also be his hometown.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are much more shameless than the legend says." Chu Qingyi smiled like a flower.

"You can't become an immortal without a black heart, and you can't become a patriarch without being ruthless." Jiang Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Qingyi in his arms.

"You really shouldn't enter Buddhism."

Chu Qingyi showed a sly smile on his face: "I can't beat you, it seems I can only accept my fate. But Mu Bingyun and An Yunyi seem to be ahead of me."

"According to the rules of the mortal world, if a concubine or a concubine wants to marry, she must first pay homage to the wife. If you want to marry me, do I have to meet Mu Bingyun or An Yunyi first?"

Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He suddenly understood why Chu Qingyi, who looked weak and indecisive, could become sworn sisters with Chu Wan'er, the daughter of the Sun and Moon Demon King who killed her own father.

It turns out that beneath Chu Qingyi's gentle and weak appearance, she actually has a dark heart!
"An Yunyi and I are innocent. As for meeting Bingyun, there is no rush."

Chu Qingyi grabbed Jiang Chuan's umbrella-holding hand with her slender hand: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I was a sword immortal in my previous life after all. You should at least give me a status, right?"

"I have something important to attend to right now. I'll take you to see Bingyun in half a month."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're not afraid to see Mu Bingyun, are you?"

"What am I afraid of?"

He, Jiang, is the future Emperor of Heaven. All the heavens and worlds belong to him. How could he be afraid?
Are you kidding me?
[After explaining it over and over again, you bring out Rabbit and Purple Cloud Patriarch to help you explain it.]

【This made Chu Qingyi believe that you really had something important to do.】

Chu Qingyi temporarily gave up her plan to meet Mu Bingyun.

You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then you prepared to take Chu Qingyi back to the Supreme Demon Sect, waiting for An Yunyi to come out of seclusion in seven days.

Chu Qingyi stated that since An Yunyi would be coming out of seclusion in seven days, she would continue to travel the mortal world and then head to the Supreme Demon Sect in seven days.

[You didn't care about the seven days.]

[So, you decided to start traveling the world with Chu Qingyi.]

You leave Pingliang City and enter the Western Regions. The border between the two regions is relatively turbulent, with frequent clashes between armies and even clashes between monks.

[Spreading for thousands of miles, it is endless desert.]

[You enter the desert and soon encounter a group of horse bandits who are robbing a passing caravan.]

[Although these bandits are just ordinary people, since they want to kill you, you don't show any mercy.]

[With a thought, the scimitar he carries automatically unsheaths and cuts them down.]

Chu Qingyi said that the bandits who robbed the caravan might also take women for their own enjoyment. She planned to go to the bandits' lair to rescue those women.

You naturally have no objection to this.

[Soon, you found the bandit's lair.]

[The bandits' lair was built on a barren mountain that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.]

Although Chu Qingyi was searching for her own path, she was a true swordsman in her previous life. With a single swing of her sword, she easily killed all the bandits.

[The woman who was rescued from the bandit's lair kowtows to you repeatedly.]

[Then, under Chu Qingyi's arrangement, they rode to Pingliang City and went through the government offices to find their families.]

[After finishing everything, it's already getting late. You guys plan to rest in the bandit's lair for the night and then set off again tomorrow.]

"Jiang Chuan, what do you think of the dishes I cooked?"

As Chu Qingyi spoke, he dragged five plates with his magic power into the hall of the horse bandits' lair and placed them on the table in the hall.

The five dishes are Kung Pao Chicken, Steamed Sea Bass, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, Boiled Pork Slices, and Braised Beef with Braised Sauce.

"Qingyi, why are you cooking all of a sudden?"

Jiang Chuan was a little puzzled. Not to mention their realm, even cultivators at the fourth realm could practice fasting.

"Since I'm going to be your Taoist partner in the future, I have to do something for you."

Chu Qingyi sat down next to Jiang Chuan: "I don't know when I will be able to understand my own way. It is difficult for me to make further progress in strength. I can only do what I can for you."

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in Jiangchuan's bowl.

"Have a taste of my craftsmanship."

Seeing this, Jiangchuan picked up the chopsticks and put the beef into his mouth.

As he chewed, the rich aroma of sauce spread in his mouth.

“It tastes very good.”

In fact, when Chu Qingyi reaches this level, she can easily learn cooking by just watching it once.

By controlling the heat and ingredients with spiritual power, there will be no situation where the food tastes bad.

"How does it taste compared to the dishes made by Fairy Mu?" Chu Qingyi asked curiously.

"I've never eaten Bingyun's cooking." Jiang Chuan told the truth.

"Then when I see Fairy Mu, I will tell her that you think my cooking is delicious, and I will cook for you every day from now on." Chu Qingyi was looking forward to meeting Mu Bingyun more and more.

Jiangchuan: "."

Is your heart black?
He could even come up with such a vicious plan!

【You ate this meal with trepidation.】

【After eating, you habitually start practicing.】

[When you take out the Sky Cang Dao Tree to meditate, you feel that the Sky Cang Dao Tree transmits a strange feeling to you.]

[As if wanting to escape from the Qingyuan Realm and get away far away.]

[You speculate that the Qiongcang Dao Tree, the true form of the Qiongcang Emperor, sensed the calamity energy spreading through the Qingyuan Realm, knew the great calamity was approaching, and subconsciously wanted to escape.]

[You don't care about this, or you have no choice at all.]

[You have offended the Taichi Immortal King, the Heavenly Demon Clan, the Xiantian God Clan, and many other powerful races. You also possess the Qiong Cang Dao Tree. Without the protection of the Qingyuan Realm's Origin Luck, if your whereabouts were revealed, you would likely be surrounded and killed by many powerful individuals.]

[Now your only choice is to take advantage of this catastrophe caused by the unification of the two realms to grow.]

[Otherwise, even if you survive this calamity, without the protection of good fortune, you will most likely die.]

[The next morning, after you and Chu Qingyi had dinner, you set off again.]

On the way, you met a caravan, paid the fare, and boarded the caravan's carriage.

The caravan traveled to the Great Yue Kingdom in the Western Regions to sell the exquisite porcelain purchased from Pingliang City.

Although you haven't displayed any magical powers, your aura, so different from that of ordinary people, has let many people in the caravan know that you are definitely not ordinary people, and they treat you with great courtesy.

On the way to Dayue Country, the caravan owner's youngest son, Song Baoyu, often came by the carriage you were riding in.

He thinks you are the legendary cultivators and wants to take you as his disciple so that you can teach him the immortal arts.

"Little Baoyu, why do you want to be a monk?"

Hearing Chu Qingyi's question, Song Baoyu, who was dressed in brocade and looked strong and fierce, answered without any hesitation.

"My father's caravan was often robbed by horse bandits and sand bandits. My brother and mother both died at their hands."

"I heard that if you become a monk, you can wipe out all the horse bandits and sand bandits, so I want to become a monk. Mom and brother are gone, and I want to protect my dad."

"Ugh!"

Recalling the woman he saw in the bandit's lair, Jiang Chuan sighed: "All living things suffer!"

"Do you think we should teach little Baoyu the method of cultivation?" Chu Qingyi asked in a voice transmission.

"In the past, when the future Constellation Venerable King Buddha was a disciple of the World-Infinite Venerable King Buddha, the World-Infinite Venerable King Buddha once asked him a question. All living beings are sinking in the sea of ​​suffering. How can we lead them to the other shore?"

Jiang Chuan transmitted the message: "The future Star King Buddha replied, 'I created a universe in the ocean of suffering, replacing the old one with a new one. All living beings do not need to cross the ocean of suffering, but can reach the other shore and enjoy eternal bliss.'"

“Although my magical power and realm are far from comparable to the future Star Lord Buddha Patriarch, since I have seen it, I will naturally not remain indifferent.”

You decided to teach Song Baoyu the method of cultivation, but you did not teach him scriptures such as the "Dark Sky Devouring Universe Sutra" and the "Candlelight Treasure Sutra."

Instead, he took a set of techniques created by ancient cultivators from the Nine Peaks Mountain God's books and taught them to Song Baoyu.

[People change. Even a dragon slayer can become a dragon.]

[Song Baoyu is indeed a good boy who is determined to protect his father. What about the future?]

Therefore, after thinking it over, I only taught him a mantra. With this mantra, Song Baoyu could cultivate diligently and become a cultivator of the second realm without any problem.

[Song Baoyu's father, the caravan owner Song Dahai, upon learning of this, expressed his gratitude to you profusely.]

[Over the next two days, you taught Song Baoyu some tips on cultivation.]

[Two days later, the caravan arrived at Wudong City in Dayue City. You will leave the caravan and enter the city.]

What surprised you was that you discovered that many monks from the six major demon sects were guarding Wudong City.

After some investigation, it turned out that ever since the Eternal Demon Lord led the six sects of the Demonic Path to destroy the underground abyss, he had ordered the disciples of the six sects to guard the city, maintain order, and select talented disciples to be sent to the six major demonic sects.

[Thanks to this, the Western Regions, which had been somewhat chaotic, actually became stable.]

[You know very well that this should be the countermeasure that the Eternal Demon Lord came up with to deal with the growing strength of the Immortal Path.]

[The day when the two worlds merge into one is drawing nearer, and with the flourishing fortune, many geniuses will be born.]

[As long as they can gather the many talented people in the Western Regions, as well as the reincarnations of some powerful people, the six major demon sects may be able to change the situation of being suppressed by the immortal way.]

You and Chu Qingyi traveled around Wubei City, watched the unique Dayue Huxuan Dance, listened to Dayue folk songs, and tasted Dayue butter tea before setting off on your journey again.

After a day of traveling, you arrived at Mesa, another important city in Dayue.

[When you arrive in Mesa City, you will see soldiers going door to door to collect handsome men and beautiful women.]

[From conversations with passersby, you learned that the Red Dust Demon Sect was severely reprimanded by the sect elders because its disciples, including Kong Danqiu, who were stationed here, failed to recruit any talented disciples last year.]

[This year, I haven't found any talented disciples. To avoid being punished by the Red Dust Demon Sect's elders, I plan to send many handsome men and beautiful women to the elders in the sect to curry their favor.]

"The Demon Sect is the Demon Sect after all!"

There was a hint of coldness in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

The founder of the Red Dust Demon Sect, the Red Dust Demon Lord, comprehended the desires of the mortal world, understood the mysteries therein and achieved enlightenment.

The Red Dust Demon Lord is extremely talented and can enter the red dust and then leave it.

But her later disciples naturally did not have her talent.

Ninety-nine percent of the Red Dust Demon Sect's disciples are addicted to the sea of ​​desire and unable to extricate themselves.

The Unobstructed Conference and three thousand male favorites, such things are common in the Red Dust Demon Sect.

This also led to the fact that although the Red Dust Demon Sect was one of the six sects of the demonic path, it had almost no outstanding cultivators except for the leader Yan Ling'er.

Even among the many masters of the three sects, Yan Ling'er is not well-known.

Not to mention compared with Ji Guanying and Luo Jiuxi, even compared with Master Qiuyu of Shuiyue Temple, his reputation is far behind, and he can be said to be the weakest among the three masters.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Qingyi asked.

"If I were the future Star King Buddha, I would probably persuade them to be good."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he walked towards the soldier who was forcibly dragging a woman.

"But you are not the future Star King Buddha."

"So I plan to send them to the Western Paradise to meet the future Star King Buddha."

Jiang Chuan knew very well that these ordinary people who were sent to the Red Dust Demon Sect would have a good end if they were lucky, but if they were unlucky, they might be killed by their essence!

Because of his own selfishness, he caused the separation of thousands of families and the loss of thousands of lives.

Kill!

Jiang Chuan came to the soldiers and said in a cold voice, "Take me to see the Red Dust Demon Sect disciples guarding here."

"you you."

The soldier subconsciously wanted to speak, but when he felt the chill emanating from Jiang Chuan, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't say the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Take me to him."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's order, the soldier nodded woodenly, and then took Jiang Chuan to where Kong Danqiu and other disciples of the Red Dust Demon Sect were staying.
