Chapter 491: Immortal Great Change, Unintentional Success
Chapter 491: Great Changes in the Hundred Immortals, Unintentional Success
Old man Xie was sitting in the room, and outside the door he could hear his children and grandchildren whispering.
“Is the school in town completed?”
It was the voice of his eldest daughter-in-law.
"It's finished." His eldest son said, "The immortals of Jiushan Sect came to build it specially. It was completed in one hour. It has three courtyards and is very beautiful."
"What a fairy!"
"Keep your voice down, our father doesn't like to hear us talking about the Nine Mountains Sect!"
Old man Xie blinked and said nothing.
The eldest daughter-in-law paused for a moment, but her voice did not lower, but became three points louder:
"Don't like to listen? But everyone in the village likes to listen!"
"Without the Jiushan Sect, how could the family have its own fields?"
"Without the Jiushan Sect, how could Xiaosan go to school?"
His eldest son listened and seemed unable to refute. He just said helplessly: "I didn't stop you from talking. I just asked you to keep your voice down..."
"I know our father served the immortals." His eldest daughter-in-law said, "But has his young master ever come to see him in his life? Has he ever taken care of us? Have you ever seen it?"
"The immortals from the Jiushan Sect come to the town once every ten days or half a month."
After the eldest daughter-in-law said this, his eldest son seemed to have nothing to say, and finally he could only say: "Don't say it in front of Dad."
Old man Xie squinted his eyes and looked at the red and round sun outside the window.
He has been looking at the sun for decades, and it has always been like this, never changed.
……
Another ten days passed.
Old man Xie sat in front of the house, thinking about the young master who had become increasingly anxious in the past few days, scolding him for being incompetent and even slapping him, with a dull look in his eyes.
The two little grandsons jogged all the way home from outside the village.
"Master!"
"Hey!" Old man Xie laughed and asked, "Is school fun?"
"This is fun!" Xiao Si shouted, "Master, I can write the word 'thank you' now!"
"Really?"
Old man Xie's heart trembled.
Although he was born into a fairy family, he was just a servant and had no right to attend the family school.
When he came out to take charge, he was just a small leader. He finally learned how to use an abacus, but he still couldn't read.
"I'll write it for you!" Xiao Si took a branch and spent a long time writing a word that looked familiar to him on the ground. "Master, do you think it's good?"
"Good! Good!" Old man Xie squinted his eyes and nodded, "It's square and looks good!"
"The teacher also said that I write well!"
"Are you from the Jiushan Sect?"
Xiao San interrupted, "Well! The teacher is very kind. He said that if we study hard, we can become immortals if we do well in the future!"
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Old Man Xie and said, "I forgot, I don't like immortals!"
Old man Xie reached out and touched his grandson's forehead, thought for a moment, and said, "I have never seen such a fairy before."
The two little grandsons blinked their eyes, seeming to understand but not quite.
Old Man Xie seemed not to be talking to them, but to be talking to himself:
"I have lived my whole life and have never seen such an immortal."
……
Things that Old Man Xie had never seen before happened one after another.
"Build a factory?"
At the dinner table, his second son brought up something new that he had never heard of.
“What does it mean to build a factory?”
Old Man Xie's second son seemed to have found out everything: "It's a big workshop! A very big workshop!"
"The immortals from the Jiushan Sect went around and said that the fish and shrimp here are good, and they said they wanted to try raising fish and shrimp!"
Old Man Xie nodded and finally spoke: "Yes, it's good. The immortals love to eat it. They say it has the blood of spiritual seeds and they want us to offer it as an offering."
"When I was out there, the fish and shrimp here were the best sellers, but they were precious and not available to ordinary people."
When his second son heard him continue, his voice became louder: "The immortal from Jiushan Sect said that the fish and shrimp here are all treasures. If we can raise them, our lives will be better in the future."
"They say you can pickle it and sell it outside, make sauce, or sell it fresh!"
“If we can’t sell it, we can eat it ourselves, which is also good.”
The eldest daughter-in-law was a smart person and immediately said, "If you open a workshop, don't you need to recruit workers?"
"We are hiring! But not many. The immortals of Jiushan Sect said that we have to give it a try first to see if it can be done."
The eldest daughter-in-law looked a little disappointed.
Old man Xie nodded and said, "This is the right way. Try it first. This is the long-term solution."
There was a moment of silence at the dinner table, and everyone looked at Old Man Xie, as if wondering why he was speaking well of the Jiushan Sect.
Old Man Xie's face darkened, and his second son quickly chuckled and flattered him, "Dad is right! The immortal also said that it's not enough to just mention one. We have other treasures here. We can't stay poor forever."
Old Man Xie was stunned when he heard this, and heard his children and grandchildren talking:
"How about letting the eldest and second brother try to recruit workers?"
"Try it! We can still do the work in the fields!"
"The younger one is in school, and the older one has a salary. If we can hold on for a few years, our family will be fine."
As Old Man Xie listened, the corners of his mouth began to curl up without him noticing.
……
The immortals of Jiushan Sect were really different from the ones Old Man Xie had seen, heard, and heard about in legends.
In the past, immortals were high and mighty and hard to find in the mortal world. Even the young master he had served went to the immortal gate and only came back two or three times in decades.
However, the immortals from the Jiushan Sect often hang around in the county. They don't bully anyone, but just look around, saying that they are researching some industry.
Later, a group of literate people, who did not seem to be immortals, came to the town.
They either taught students, helped build factories, or became town managers.
Although these people said that they were not immortals, they were all able to fly high. The people in the town bravely asked them and found out that in the Jiushan Sect, even if ordinary people could not become immortals, they could still practice martial arts.
Oh, it should be called Nine Mountains Realm.
Now everyone knows that all immortals come from the Jiushan Sect.
Those who did not practice immortal cultivation came from the Nine Mountains Realm. Although they were not immortals, they could read and write, calculate, and raise fish and shrimps. They knew more than the most learned gentlemen in the town.
They are all remarkable people.
"The teacher said they are not better than us." Every time he heard this, the little grandson would refute, "The teacher said they only know so much because they went to school."
"We can be this powerful if we study and learn martial arts in the future."
The table is now full of matters concerning the Jiushan Sect.
The immortal of Jiushan Sect.
Gentleman from Jiushan Sect.
The family loved to talk, and Old Man Xie listened, but he never returned to his room.
……
Late that night, Old Man Xie secretly called his eldest grandson over.
"Master?"
"You're going to work tomorrow?"
"Ok!"
Old man Xie hesitated for a long time, still afraid of the immortal's tricks, and dared not speak directly, but whispered: "It's okay, help me see when the immortal from Jiushan Sect will come to town again."
……
The next day, the eldest grandson went to town, but someone he never expected came.
"Little Green Fairy?"
Looking at Xiaoqing standing at the door, the whole family was stunned.
Xiaoqing is the leader of this group of disciples in Jiushan Sect. She is pretty and very eye-catching.
Many children in the school know the name Little Green Fairy and they mention it every day.
Although she seemed very busy, traveling between several counties, everyone in the village knew her.
"Is this Uncle Xie's house?"
Xiao Qing asked.
"Yes!"
Old man Xie's heart trembled slightly, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Xiao Qing hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid! I just want to see how you are, Uncle Xie."
The Xie family members were all stunned, as if they didn't understand.
"My mission is over. I have to go back to Jiushan Sect in a while. I don't have much to do." Xiaoqing explained with a smile, "I just looked around. Mr. Xie is old, so I came to help check his health."
Old man Xie understood, but his face was still confused.
Seeing that the explanation was not clear, Xiaoqing simply used her spiritual eye technique and looked towards Old Man Xie with her eyes glowing green.
"Thank you, uncle. You are in good health... Oh?" She was stunned, raised her head suddenly, and asked, "Have you been hit in the face recently?"
Old man Xie's face twitched and he said vaguely, "It fell."
"Falled?"
Xiaoqing frowned, glanced at his two sons with suspicion, and put his right hand on his wrist.
Old man Xie's hands were shaking slightly.
Xiao Qing's face looked even uglier, and she obviously realized something was wrong: "Uncle Xie, did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
"I……"
"My medical skills are limited... I can only try to treat you first."
Old Man Xie looked at Xiaoqing's serious and embarrassed face, suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
……
When Shi Nandang saw Xiaoqing again, he looked a little surprised.
This little guy just said he was going to make some good deeds, and now he has made a big profit.
"This poison is not difficult to cure." He said to Xiaoqing, "After all, this old man is just a mortal."
To be honest, top-grade poisons also require spirit stones...
Mortals don’t have this blessing.
"According to what Old Man Xie described, the person who gave him the poison was a long-time Nascent Soul cultivator named Old Monster Li. He also came to the Hundred Immortals Alliance a few days ago, but has been missing recently. He turned out to be here."
Xiao Qing asked in shock: "Nascent Soul cultivator?"
“Hehe…Now that the Jiushan Sect has so many Shenxiao warships patrolling everywhere, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators don’t even have time to hide, so how dare they show up?” Looking at Xiaoqing’s slightly frightened face, Shi Nandang felt relieved.
"Not to mention Tongjian. If he attacks a disciple of Jiushan Sect, others will be attracted immediately."
Seeing Xiaoqing's confusion, Shi Nandang shook his head and said, "Do you think the Sect Master didn't make any arrangements for you to come out?"
"What are the arrangements?"
"In every state, there are at least three Nascent Souls patrolling, and there are also Divine Incarnations in the back." Shi Nandang said with a smile, "Otherwise he would be afraid that those traitors would be desperate and do something desperate."
"I am responsible for your place."
Xiaoqing finally understood and nodded repeatedly.
"You have done a great deed."
Shi Nandang looked towards the valley. He had not paid enough attention before and had made a mistake. Now, combined with the clues given by Old Man Xie and the control of this place by Jiushan Sect, after some investigation, this group of people would naturally have nowhere to hide.
About a hundred monks.
There are three Nascent Souls among them.
Shi Nandang felt that it was unfair for Old Monster Li to be seen through by Xiaoqing, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
It's not Li Laoguai's fault for being careless, but who would have thought that Xiaoqing could discover the problem in this way...
"How did you find out that something was wrong with Mr. Xie?"
Shi Nandang asked puzzledly.
"Something's wrong?" Xiao Qing blinked and said blankly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with him."
"Then you will go to his home to see him?"
"Isn't this what you, the real person, taught me?"
"..."
Shi Nandang became more and more puzzled as he listened and looked at Xiaoqing.
"Master, tell me how I perform my duties as a temple priest." Xiao Qing spoke in a low voice, as if he was not confident. "I was in Banshan City, and I went to treat patients every day..."
Shi Nandang was stunned. He looked at Xiaoqing, unable to hide his surprise: "You're going to every village?"
"Ah."
"So many people, so many villages, can you see everything?"
Xiao Qing looked up at him, but became more and more confused: "What does it matter whether you finish reading it or not?"
Shi Nandang listened to Xiaoqing saying, "Every time we go to a family, there will be one more family that likes the master and the Jiushan Sect."
Looking at Xiaoqing's as if it was a matter of course, Shi Nandang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "This old monster Li...didn't deserve it."
……
"Old Monster Li, why do I feel so scared? Is the person you are looking for reliable?"
In the valley where the traitors were hiding, the old woman suddenly spoke.
"I checked and found that there are indeed no caravans leaving recently." Old Monster Li frowned and said, "And they didn't just find one person."
The old woman frowned and said, "Then you better be careful."
"With the Mirage Mirror, what are you afraid of!" Old Monster Li sneered.
"Those people are all mortals, how could the Jiushan Sect notice them?"
"The people I choose are not the kind who don't care about their lives."
The old woman had nothing to say when asked.
Old Monster Li is not a man without plans.
But she still felt a little uneasy, she frowned and said, "Now there are no caravans, how long can I wait to go?"
Old Man Li was silent for a moment, then he sent her a message: "If we can't find the caravan in another month, we will go on our own."
The old woman was stunned and looked at the other middle-aged Yuanying.
This person was a former sect elder of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and now he has defected.
Those small sects of the Hundred Immortals Alliance gathered around him.
"We are looking for a caravan simply because the target is too big and we can't leave our disciples behind."
He glanced at the disciples behind him with deep meaning in his eyes.
"You mean... escaping alone?"
Old Monster Li nodded.
"Then you come to me..."
The old woman's look became more and more strange.
Old Monster Li grinned: "Without the Mirage Mirror, these people are going to die anyway, why not..."
The old woman was shocked, knowing that he had murderous intentions towards everyone in the cave.
There are only three Yuanying in the cave.
He was looking for her only because he was afraid of the middle-aged Yuanying and wanted the two to join forces to snatch his treasure.
"Just think about it, the treasures in their hands are the accumulation of several sects over many years."
The old woman couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on her face.
Li Laoguai added: "If they are alive, they will definitely expose our identities."
After hearing this, the old woman finally made up her mind and asked, "You don't want a disciple anymore?"
Old Monster Li shook his head slightly and said, "It's too eye-catching. Once you leave the Hundred Immortals Alliance, you can rebuild your business."
"With spirit stones in hand, are you still worried about not having disciples?"
The old woman also understood that if it was just one or two people, it would be very easy to disguise themselves.
If there were more people, it would be different.
She looked at the disciples around her and felt a little reluctant - these were all useful people she had trained for so many years, and it was really difficult to give up on them suddenly.
After a long time, Li Laoguai saw her nod slightly.
……
The next day.
A roar erupted from the cave.
"Old Monster Li, how dare you plot against me!"
The middle-aged monk's face was as golden and purple as he covered his abdomen and stared at Old Monster Li with bloodshot eyes.
He looked to the side and saw the old woman standing at the entrance of the cave, blocking his way.
"You are quite alert."
Old Monster Li's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that this middle-aged Yuanying had actually avoided his sneak attack.
"you……"
Seeing the Nascent Souls fighting each other, everyone in the cave was terrified.
He wanted to escape from the cave, but the old woman blocked the entrance.
I could only shrink into the corner and watch the three people confront each other.
The middle-aged Yuanying looked from Old Monster Li to the old woman, as if he saw that the two of them had a tacit understanding.
"As expected... you are a bunch of outsiders, you have no integrity!"
Old Monster Li suppressed his annoyance, thinking that he had a two-on-one chance of winning. He listened to the middle-aged cultivator scolding him, and he laughed, "Xinyi, you are the traitors of the Hundred Immortals Alliance!"
"..."
"Alliance Master Zheng might even have to thank me for cleaning up his mess!"
The middle-aged monk's face turned pale and blue, and he was speechless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really want to kill us all?"
Old Monster Li said nothing, but a black rope appeared in his hand.
The old woman also took out a green butterfly-shaped hair accessory and held it in her hand.
Li Laoguai said coldly: "The Mirage Mirror cannot hide the fluctuations of spiritual power. Fight quickly and get out in time."
The old woman also looked gloomy.
Old Monster Li wanted to launch a sneak attack because he was afraid of attracting people from the Jiushan Sect. He didn't expect that this middle-aged Yuanying was so alert that he was able to delay for some time.
Although the middle-aged Yuanying escaped the fatal blow, he was also seriously injured. Facing two Yuanyings, he knew he had no chance of escape.
Hearing him say this, a grim smile appeared on his face.
"A quick victory?"
"Are you afraid of being discovered by the Jiushan Sect?"
"I wonder where you can escape to!"
Li Laoguai was horrified and shouted, "No!"
The middle-aged cultivator's Nascent Soul flew out from the top of his head, and his spiritual power was like a huge wave.
There were a few rumbling sounds coming from the newly excavated cave. The cracks on the rock wall grew from shallow to deep, and rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps.
"Daoyou! Why is it so?"
Old Monster Li never expected that this man would be so decisive and would self-destruct as soon as he said so.
He flew outward, shouting, feeling extremely regretful.
The power of the Nascent Soul's self-explosion is so great that the Mirage Mirror cannot conceal it. The Jiushan Sect is not blind and will definitely find out the problem.
After the self-destruction, most of the treasures would probably be lost.
more importantly……
He's too close!
This middle-aged monk self-destructed, and even his most powerful self-defense method could not stop it. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
It will be extremely difficult to escape from the Hundred Immortals Alliance in the future.
Seeing that he was about to die here, he couldn't help but feel extremely regretful, and swore in his heart that if there was anyone who could stop this middle-aged monk, he would repay them by serving them like an ox or a slave in the future!
……
Someone actually took action.
But Old Monster Li would rather not have it and would rather bear it himself.
A golden figure slowly descended from the sky. The man spread out his five fingers, and the spiritual power that had just been like a violent storm and huge waves was smoothed out in his hands with one palm.
Shi Nandang grabbed the middle-aged cultivator, turned his head and looked at the four Nascent Souls of the Nine Mountains Sect behind him, and said, "It's okay. The injury is a bit serious, but it's healed well."
rule?
Old Monster Li couldn't help showing some surprise on his face.
Shi Nandang seemed to have seen through his expression. He chuckled and said, "The headmaster said that you people... are better off alive than dead."
Shi Nandang had a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to laugh: "What did he say...it's a pity for such good cattle and horses to die."
Old Monster Li felt secretly regretful. His oath was like a fart. Who knew it would come true so quickly this time!
"By the way you looked at me..." Shi Nandang looked at Li Laoguai, frowned, and suddenly asked, "Do you know me?"
"..."
Seeing his expression, Shi Nandang naturally understood the answer. He looked at Xiaoqing on the Shenxiao battleship behind him and thought to himself that this little guy's unintentional act not only made a great contribution, but might have also saved his life.
