Chapter 821 Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old.
"Do you have any other concerns?" Before Tang Ning could speak, Su Yuanhua continued by himself: "Oh! By the way, I almost forgot something important. We all know that junior sister has a deep love for you and we went there that year.
Xingang, I secretly learned the Heart Knot and formed a contract with you, right?"
"Don't worry, that contract was resolved by the master a long time ago, the day after she was brought back to the mountain gate."
"So, she can't control your destiny now, and of course, you can't influence her anymore."
"I don't think you are so naive to think that a foundation-building Qi Refining monk can master the forbidden techniques, but the master's ability cannot solve them!"
"The reason why the Heart Knot is listed as a forbidden technique is not because it is complex and powerful. It is because it is a mutually beneficial technique with no practical use. The sect does not want its disciples to study and use it, so it is forbidden."
"If you are really good for her, you should not hinder her anymore, because she will go further than you on the road of spiritual practice. This is destined."
"Do you hope that she will be disappointed when she sees your gray hair and old appearance, and even the last bit of good memories will disappear?"
"You will lose a lot of things on the road of spiritual practice, but leaving a few beautiful memories worth cherishing is extremely precious."
"Believe me, the reason why I say this is not to persuade you. This is my personal experience."
"I had a deceased wife before. Later, she was seriously injured when she broke through the realm of spirit transformation and stopped as a Nascent Soul. However, I successfully broke through the realm of spirit transformation. From then on, the two of us were separated until she died and passed away.
See you again."
"To this day, I still think of her occasionally. If I had been with her and seen her getting older, her face no longer beautiful, her face full of wrinkles, and she looked like she was seventy or eighty, all the good things in the past would disappear.
There won’t be any nostalgia like today.”
"Now, it's your turn to make a choice."
"Disciple, all obey the instructions of our great uncle." Tang Ning was angry in her heart, but forced by the situation, she had to lower her head. When she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse.
"Very good." Su Yuanhua smiled slightly: "Today's words will come out of my mouth and into your ears, and no third party will know. This is an agreement between you and me. You are a smart man, understand what I mean.
!”
"yes."
"To the outside world, you are still junior sister's husband and one of ours. You can use this status to seek benefits. I will not interfere. As long as you abide by our agreement, then, let this matter end here!
"
"Disciple takes leave."
Su Yuanhua didn't say anything, and Tang Ning turned around and left the room. When he left the cave, he clenched his fists with his veins exposed and stood there in shock for a while.
After a long time, he looked back at the majestic cave house behind him, and then he jumped up into the sky and came to the mountain guard of the legion headquarters.
Unexpectedly, Fang Dasheng was here, and Tang Ning came to the front of the hall and bowed.
"The conversation was pretty good! What did Uncle Su have to say?"
"It was just a casual chat, and he asked me about his current situation and asked me to come and see him more in the future." Tang Ning said calmly. Naturally, he would not tell the truth.
If Fang Dasheng knew that Su Yuanhua had this attitude towards him, then his life in Xuantang City might not be easy in the future.
Fang Dasheng is his immediate boss and the only supporter he can count on now. He will play a vital role in his future practice and other aspects.
As long as he didn't take the initiative to admit it, he would never have imagined that Nangong Muxue would have this attitude towards him. After all, it was Nangong Muxue who used his connections to select him into Taixuan Sect from among the monks in Qinghai.
In Fang Dasheng's eyes, he is naturally his beloved son-in-law who has a close relationship with Nangong Muxue.
Fang Dasheng nodded and said: "Yes! We really should move around more. We are in the small town of Xuantang. It's rare to come here. It's not easy to meet. I'm going to visit some old friends and uncles later. You can do whatever you want.
Come on, we have to stay here for a few months before going back."
"Disciple wants to go out to the city and see a lot of things."
"That's fine." The two of them chatted for a few words and agreed on a meeting place. Fang Dasheng's figure flashed and turned into light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Tangning entered the palace, registered her entry and exit information, and then left the mountain range.
He was restless and without a clear direction, he just ran all the way south, constantly recalling Su Yuanhua's words and his arrogant demeanor in his mind.
There was a nameless rage burning in my heart.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw the sun setting westward, and a towering city outline appeared in my field of vision in the distance. As the distance got closer, the city outline became larger and larger in my eyes. Its scope was about ten thousand miles in radius, and there were people inside and outside the city.
People came and went, and warships and chariots passed above the city wall from time to time.
As the main city of the county, Donglai City is very vast with a radius of 1.2 million miles.
Neizhongli City is an unknown place. Although Tang Ning had stayed in the county town for some time before, she had never been to many places.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at the bottom of the city wall. On the top of the city wall were engraved the four characters "Xuwuli City" with flowing light. There were many roads inside, rows of attics, and many monks coming and going.
Tang Ning was still thinking about the conversation with Su Yuanhua in her mind. She was feeling angry and depressed when a sudden exclamation interrupted his thoughts.
"Uncle Tang." He heard a man exclaim from behind him. He turned around and saw a tall, broad-set man with a face as thick as a date outside a shop looking at him in surprise.
"It's you." Tangning's eyes narrowed and she said the person's name: "Zhang Yao."
After Yin Qingyuan died that year, six disciples of the Qianyi Sect came to seek refuge with him, and Zhang Yao was one of the six.
Later, due to changes in the battle on the Qinghai front line, his regiment was ordered to provide support. Before leaving, he handed over all the belongings left by the Qian Yizong to Jiang Yuhuan because at that time he was not sure whether he could survive the war.
.
If he died on the Qinghai battlefield, handing over the sect's relics would be a tricky matter, so arrangements were made in advance.
"Master Tang, it's really you." Zhang Yao walked quickly and bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."
Not seeing each other for so many years, Zhang Yao has been successfully promoted from a monk in the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
"Why are you here?" Tang Ning suddenly met an old friend when she was frustrated. She felt particularly warm in her heart, and she felt like a wanderer returning home.
"Disciple came here to buy some things, and unexpectedly met Master Tang. After Master left, we were all concerned about your safety. We are very lucky to see that Master is fine now."
"Sure enough, the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as before!" Tang Ning couldn't help but sigh after hearing his sincere words and remembering the ridicule and humiliation she suffered from Su Yuanhua.
"Uncle Master, where did you see me today? Why are you here?" Zhang Yao asked.
"It's a long story. I came to Donglai County because I have some things to deal with. I have to go back to Xuantang City, Yuanxian County in a few months. I am working there now. What about you? How are you doing now? Where is Senior Brother Jiang? Office?"
"After the Qinghai War, Master Jiang did not join the Xuanmen sect, but returned to the Jiang family. We are all now with Master Jiang and belong to the Jiang family's influence. Master Jiang was assigned to a spiritual vein to be responsible for the cultivation of elixirs. Just in "Xu Wuli", I had nothing to do, so I came to the market to take a look and buy some things."
"Oh?" Tangning was slightly surprised when she heard that Jiang Yuhuan did not join Xuanmen, but returned to the Jiang family, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable.
Jiang Yuhuan was originally a descendant of the Jiang family. It was rumored that Jiang Yuhuan's great-grandfather was expelled from the Jiang family and exiled to Xingang for violating the laws of the Jiang family. Later, he married a wife and had children in Xingang, and his son joined the Qianyi Sect. , this person is Jiang Ming, Jiang Yuhuan’s grandfather.
Cultivation families have a rule for their children who violate family rules and are exiled. As long as they continue to pass on the incense and abide by the rules within five generations, they will stay in the place of exile. If their descendants have the spiritual root qualifications, they can return to the family through family tree inheritance. .
This is to give the descendants who made mistakes and were exiled a chance without being beaten to death, so that they can have hope in their hearts.
Jiang Yuhuan's great-grandfather was exiled to Xingang until he was the fourth generation. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to return to the Jiang family.
I don't know what route he took. When he was in the Qingzhou Allied Army, Tang Ning noticed that Jiang Yuhuan had help from noble people behind him. Because when all the disciples of the Qinghai Sect were assigned to the front line to fight against the Mubei demon, he was safely in the rear base camp. , served as a casualty in the Donglai County City Guards.
It is impossible to get this position without a certain relationship background, and someone is obviously protecting him.
Now it seems that this person should be a person of considerable status in the Jiang family, otherwise he would not be so capable of letting him return to the Jiang family.
"Senior Brother Jiang is a changed man and has a bright future. It is a rare opportunity for you to follow him," Tang Ning said.
He has always had a good impression of Jiang Yuhuan, and the two of them have carried out several missions together. He is magnanimous, tolerant, and quite a gentleman.
Zhang Yao said: "Now that my uncle has returned to the county, I wonder if he can come to our dormitory if he has time. Several of my brothers will be very happy to see you, and my uncle Jiang is also here."
"That's what I meant."
The two people immediately escaped from the light, and after walking for more than a day, they arrived at a mountain range that was thousands of miles wide. A huge light curtain stood in the center, covering almost half of the entire mountain range.
The two escaped from the light and landed in front of the light curtain. Zhang Yao flipped it in his hand and handed the talisman inside. Soon, a corner of the light curtain melted away and the two of them entered the inner room. After walking for a while, they came to a cave.
"Uncle, please." Zhang Yao said in greeting.
"Is this the cave you live in? It looks quite impressive." Tang Ning walked straight inside. The entire cave covers an area of several miles and has distinct layers.
"This is the residence of Senior Uncle Jiang. Several of our fellow apprentices work under Senior Uncle Jiang and take turns to be on duty in the cave to take orders. This month, Junior Sister Wang and I are on duty."
While the two were talking, they saw a petite and beautiful woman walking out quickly. It was Wang Jiaxin. She probably saw the two of them entering through the array, so she came out to greet them.
"Disciple pays homage to Master Tang." Wang Jiaxin bowed and saluted.
When Tang Ning saw the look of joy on her face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was still the old Qianyi Sect who was so warm! Although he joined the Taixuan Sect now, in the eyes of outsiders, he was like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, soaring into the sky.
However, in fact, it is like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is cold or warm.
