Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

The Jiang family courtyard was cold and dark at night.

that's it.

Jiang Tu sat there silently until late into the night. The candle had long since burned out, but he just stayed there quietly, staring at the numbers that kept jumping in the depths of his consciousness, his heart aching with each beat... Finally, it stopped.

Total number of cultivators in this sequence: 3

"Influence level of this sequence: lv0.1"

Jiang Tu: "..."

Isn't this a bit too much of a drop?

More than a hundred people, and only three were left overnight. That's practically wiping out the entire family!

What's even more outrageous is that two of these three are at Lingjiang Temple, practically on their deathbeds! In other words, in the entire world of immortals and ghosts, the agricultural path sequence is down to its last remaining member.

Jiang Tu almost laughed out of anger.

What exactly happened in Dajiang County?

With severely limited information, he couldn't think any further and could only console himself... at least they weren't completely extinct!

Judging from the two blessed characteristics of "endless life" and "passing on the torch," the last remaining seedling will definitely stage a comeback and rebound as soon as possible...

Wild fire, in spring.

Just then, the sequence panel jumped again!

Jiang Tu sat up abruptly, his heart skipping a beat. He almost thought that the last remaining lifeline had also been lost, but upon closer inspection, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

—Total number of cultivators in this sequence: 4

"Event triggered"

"(New) The 'Ninth-Rank' farmer (unnamed) turned misfortune into fortune and survived a near-death experience, awakening his innate wisdom (cause and effect value +20)"

Jiang Tu: ?

What?

He could understand that turning misfortune into blessing and awakening his innate wisdom was simply a matter of encountering a major crisis and suddenly awakening at the critical moment of life and death.

This is a common writing style in many novels, so it's not unusual.

But what the heck is "Unnamed"? An orphan? An abandoned baby? Or something else entirely?

In an instant, he thought of all sorts of possibilities... But no matter what, the total number of cultivators stopped plummeting when they were on the verge of despair, and instead began to increase again. The changes of this night were finally over!

This must be the work of "continuous life"! It must be!!

It has bottomed out and started to rebound.

He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and lay sprawled on the bed, staring at the roof beams. He hadn't slept all night, and his mind was on high alert. As soon as he relaxed, drowsiness washed over him.

Outside the window, the sky was beginning to lighten, and a few roosters crowed in the distance. Several servants got up quietly and began to light a fire, boil water, and sweep the yard.

He closed his eyes, preparing to rest for a while.

Suddenly, a series of rapid knocks came from outside the courtyard—

Bang bang bang!

Hasty, tense, unlike ordinary guests.

A servant rushed to open the door to check, and a moment later someone ran in to report: "Master! Master Zhou has arrived! He's with several children and a pregnant woman... They all look to be in bad shape, as if they've suffered some terrible calamity!"

Jiang Tu rolled over and sat up.

Zhou the Big Boss?

Over the years, his friendship with Zhou Da Hu has never been broken, and their relationship has been maintained very well.

In the past, they were landlords and peasants, but now they are like close friends despite their age difference.

During holidays and festivals, whenever Zhou Dahu returned to Xiaopei County, he would always visit Jiang Tu. The two would feast together, chat about everyday life, and talk about the many novel sights and sounds of Dajiang County.

The other party was also a valuable source of intelligence for Jiang Tu to understand Dajiang County.

Almost every time, Zhou would eagerly try to get Jiang Tu to go to Dajiang County to make a fortune, but Jiang Tu would always politely decline. This had almost become a regular occurrence for both of them, comparable to three refusals and three concessions.

So when he heard that Zhou the tycoon was coming in the dead of night, he immediately put on his coat and hurried outside, his mind racing.

When such a big thing happened in Dajiang County, he thought that Zhou the landlord would most likely not escape unscathed, and he secretly mourned for his old friend... After all, a middle-aged man in his fifties with difficulty walking had a very low probability of surviving a disaster. He never expected that he would actually come back alive!

He brought a pregnant woman with him? Did his kidneys finally work up a fight this time?

Jiang Tu immediately ordered, "Quickly welcome them in, boil water, bring food, and make room for them!"

A moment later, the courtyard was bustling with activity.

Several servants helped to comfort the children, bringing them hot porridge and water. The four children were only seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only four or five. Although they were trembling with fear and still in shock, they all wolfed down the food when they saw it. They didn't even bother to use chopsticks or spoons, burying their heads in their mouths without caring about the heat.

One child ate a couple of bites and then fell asleep on the table, with rice still stuck to the corners of his mouth, clearly exhausted.

Zhou, the wealthy man, and Wang Congyun were settling the pregnant woman down. They gently placed her on the bed, propped her up with pillows, and fed her some warm water. The pregnant woman's brows gradually relaxed as she drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Tu was busy helping with everything, but his gaze kept drifting towards the pregnant woman.

He quickly confirmed his guess.

"farmer"!

Pregnant women are classified as "farmers" (rank nine)!

This was the first time he had ever encountered a genuine agricultural cultivator in the real world. All his previous information came from Jin Ce's written records and changes in causal values. This was the first time he had ever seen a living person lying in front of him!

Then, his gaze couldn't help but fall on the other person's protruding belly, and he suddenly realized.

So that's how it is!

This pregnant woman is the only heir... The child in her womb is the newly added, unnamed No. 4 "Farmer"! This child was rescued by Wang Congyun and Zhou Dahu, and during their escape, he unexpectedly awakened his innate wisdom while still in the womb.

Whether in evolution or in reality, this is the first time a cultivator has been born!

Previously, all cultivators of the agricultural path were born through acquired inheritance, with someone teaching and guiding them, and someone imparting knowledge and skills, in order to awaken.

But this child is clearly still in the mother's womb, and has not yet seen the heavens and the earth, yet he has already become a ninth-rank official.

What does this mean?

Jiang Tu's mind raced with thoughts.

This could be because the agricultural path sequence inherently possesses bloodline inheritance, and the descendants of agricultural path cultivators who have awakened their innate wisdom are more likely to also awaken their innate wisdom, and may even awaken it in the womb. It could also be a new characteristic brought about by the "Inheritance" blessing - doubling the effect of kinship inheritance.

He couldn't say for sure what would happen... but whatever the possibility, it was definitely a pleasant surprise!

In the darkest hour when agriculture was on the verge of extinction, the birth of a child born with the ninth rank was like a beacon of hope, fulfilling the vision of endless life.

At this moment, Zhou the landlord caught his breath and walked over somewhat embarrassedly.

"Brother Tu, thank you so much for your help this time."

Jiang Tu waved his hand: "What are you saying, Master Zhou? We've known each other for so many years. You should rest and talk things out slowly."

Zhou the landlord sighed and gave a brief summary of the most important points.

He was carried out by the Taoist priest Xiao Wang, and along the way, he also rescued a pregnant woman and four children.

"If it weren't for Master Wang, I would have lost my life there!" Zhou the landlord pointed at Wang Congyun. "We're all exhausted from the escape. If we continue on our way to the Zhou family's old residence in the county, it will take at least another half an hour..."

"I just happened to be passing by the Jiang family's courtyard, so I brought everyone here to bother you. Please don't be offended, Tu-ge'er."

Jiang Tu reassured him and then asked some simple questions about Dajiang County. Through these questions and answers, he learned the specific situation.

A bizarre disaster!

A strange disaster has truly struck Dajiang County!! So suddenly!

Even Manager Qian... and those people who used to know Master Zhou, one by one... This... this must be inextricably linked to the Lingjiang Temple and the Taoist sect...!

And this young Taoist priest in front of me happens to be a disciple of the Taoist sect! What a coincidence!

What role did this Taoist priest play in this strange disaster?

He feigned shock upon hearing the news, and after a long pause, he looked at Wang Congyun, who had remained silent.

"Young Master Wang looks somewhat familiar..."

He looked at the dark-skinned, thin young man. He felt that the young man looked familiar at first glance, but he couldn't quite place him.

Before Zhou Da Hu could introduce himself, Wang Congyun forced a smile.

"Brother Jiang, I am Wang Congyun, a Daoist from our Xiaopei County. We were childhood friends, and it's hard to believe that ten years have passed so quickly. I have become a Daoist disciple, and Brother Jiang has also established a manor with a considerable fortune..."

Upon hearing this, the vague outline in Jiang Tu's mind suddenly became clear.

Old Wang's house in the west of the village, where Wang Gou Dan, the silly boy who used to run around the village all day when he was a child!

He ate at many families' homes in the village when he was a child and was very familiar with Gou Dan. More than ten years have passed and his appearance has changed a lot, but he still has some impression of that honest and simple temperament.

"Dog Egg...?" Jiang Tu asked uncertainly.

Wang Congyun's smile became even more stiff: "..."

He turned to look at Master Zhou with a resentful look in his eyes, but Master Zhou pretended not to see him and lowered his head to drink his tea.

Oh no! It's true, you can't go back to your hometown unless there's a problem!

Will this name's dark history follow him for life?! But... what's the difference between not returning home in glory and wearing fine clothes in the dark?!
