Chapter 196 An auspicious omen, do you have similar blessings? (Ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month!!)
Longevity Immortal City.
During this period of time, the Wanshou Immortal City was very lively, because the celestial phenomena were too strange, such as fire falling from the sky, stars hanging upside down, bullfights soaring into the sky...
Various strange celestial phenomena appeared one after another. Although some old people in the city were considered to be the new generation, there were still legends about the destruction of the aura of the Sentient Sect many years ago.
Because of this abnormal suddenness, the entire Immortal City couldn't help but panic, but it didn't take long for the news of Su Wu's retreat to come out.
The city lord’s mansion is operating as usual, and this year’s taxes are paid as usual, and even more taxes are paid. This immediately makes the monks in the city worry about their own housework and have no intention of discussing this strange celestial phenomenon.
After all, most of the immortals in the city are ordinary monks, and only a few well-to-do cultivators, or nobles in the city, are willing to observe whether there is a catastrophe in this celestial phenomenon.
But even if they were full of worries, as time went by, they were prepared for catastrophe and gradually calmed down.
Seeing this development, Liang Sheng couldn't help sighing in his heart. It seems that the essence of every world is the same regardless of whether he cultivates immortals or not.
If you are still running around for your life, how can people have the leisure to discuss current affairs? These trivial matters are not their concern.
Only people who live worry-free and have nothing to do can write passionately and discuss these major events. Without others, life is worry-free.
However, as time went by, Longevity Immortal City began to settle down slowly, and even the monks in the city became a little hyperactive.
Because the imperial edict of the Dongsheng Immortal Dynasty has been issued to each immortal city, the City Lord's Mansion issued the imperial edict directly without any delay.
Xianchao Grand Competition!
Golden World!
As long as you are the pride of heaven, you are blessed, or you have the ambition to step up to the sky and don't want to live. So, now this is your stage.
This competition has nothing to do with cultivation. Any immortal cultivator may soar into the sky in the Golden World.
After all, luck in the world is the only way to go. Now that the golden world is here, how can it be impossible for me to be the proud son of heaven?
While the entire Longevity Immortal City was sharpening its knives, Liang Sheng was still on the surface still complacent, without being affected in the slightest.
He didn't want to be involved in the world of great controversy at all. He was completely different from those monks in the fairy city.
After all, he inherited the innate stupidity of Chizi, as long as he practiced honestly, even the world would not be able to withstand his breakthrough, so why should he take risks?
However, Liang Sheng also understood in his heart that under the karma of the Immortal Dynasty, no matter who it is, it is possible for karma to be entangled. Maybe even if it is lying at home, it may be suddenly crushed to death by a meteorite from outside the sky.
So Liang Sheng could only use the law of cause and effect to investigate as much as possible, so that the cause and effect around him, or accidents, would come later.
It's a pity that after Chunyangzi came to Longevity Immortal City because of Fengyuan, he wanted to slip into the immortal spirit vein that was almost recovering slowly, but it was impossible for the spirit vein to absorb the spinal cord of heaven and earth.
When the fairy city was in turmoil before, he had already tampered with Su Wu and the mountain rocks, so Chunyangzi's whereabouts were naturally not hidden from him.
But fortunately, Chunyangzi will really guard around Fengyuan at this moment, and has no time to pay attention to the movement of Xiancheng at this time.
Fengyuan's state at this time is also very similar to when Zhenyuan City Lord was banned, but compared with Zhenyuan Xiang, he actually has more initiative.
As long as he wants to break through the ban and appear, he will naturally wake up. The arrival of Chunyangzi also gave Su Wu more confidence.
Although the Immortal Dynasty Grand Competition is coming, luck is still uncertain, murderous intentions are still brewing, and most immortal cultivators are still improving their own state, so they did not immediately enter a tense state, that is to say, everyone still has time to prepare.
After Xiancheng experienced the excitement at the beginning, most of the cultivators gradually calmed down. No matter how excited they were, they had to do their best before the big battle.
Perhaps every bit of preparation will become the last straw that overwhelms others. Besides, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Therefore, after Su Wu's retreat, more people retreated in Xiancheng, which also made the public security situation in Xiancheng skyrocket.
It was a pleasant surprise for Liang Sheng, he was the last person who wanted to break the current peaceful life, the more peaceful the better for him.
It's just that at this time, we can only let nature take its course.
…
Longevity Immortal City.
In the prison of the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhou Shen was knocking melon seeds at the moment, and when the last melon seed was knocked, the bell of Xiamao just rang, and then he calmed down and got off work.
At this time, the prison is not as strict as before. After the order of the Immortal Dynasty was issued to the Immortal City, many people's hearts were already wild.
Zhou Shen couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, why is this so, where are there so many protagonists in this world? Most are just ordinary people.
Furthermore, the ancestors of the Zhou family taught that the descendants should live a stable life, act in a low-key manner, and have self-knowledge. This has almost been engraved into the blood of the Zhou family.
Therefore, Zhou Shen is different from others. He only wants to develop safely, and doesn't think about the pie falling from the sky at all.
When leaving the prison gate, Zhou Shen greeted the jailer he had made friends with, and then went back to Zhou's mansion without stopping, and then went directly to the backyard.
It is the residence of Elder Jin Quanxiu, the ancestor of the family's guest minister.
This is a living fossil of the family, even the patriarch was born under his watch. The legend about Ke Qing's ancestor has been passed down in the Zhou family.
The Zhou family can develop so smoothly and vigorously, mostly due to the other party's credit. After all, the other party is the Yuanying Zhenjun, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Zhou family.
After all, no matter how low-key the Zhou family is, as long as they want to develop, there must be disputes. But over the years, many opponents of the Zhou family's disputes will eventually disappear inexplicably.
After this situation happened several times in a row, within the Zhou family's radius, other families no longer wanted to provoke them.
After all, isn’t it good to live well?
As for the secrets of the Zhou family, no one dared to find out. In addition, the Zhou family was powerful, but kept a low profile and never took the initiative to seek trouble. The surrounding families also gradually lost their minds.
Why ask for trouble and let your family have an enemy with mysterious strength?
So Jin Quanxiu's status in the Zhou family became more and more lofty, even the patriarch was a grandson in front of him, let alone other descendants of the family?
But it can be considered a predestined relationship. When Zhou Shen was a naughty boy, he entered Jin Quanxiu’s residence by mistake once, and ate candy here. Because he was tired and thirsty after a day of fighting, he was not polite at all, so he just drank it. After drinking a cup of tea for Patriarch Jin, he fell into a coma for three days.
In the past three days, Zhou Shen's parents were in a hurry, looking for Zhou Shen frantically, causing a lot of commotion in the family.
When Zhou Shen woke up in a daze, and then bid farewell to Patriarch Jin and went home, he was beaten hard.
It's just that after he explained where he went to play, his parents couldn't help but looked at each other, and didn't care about beating him, so they went straight to the patriarch.
The patriarch's eyes lit up after hearing Zhou Shen's parents' description for the first time, and then told Zhou Shen in a soft voice.
"Shen'er, remember to go to that old grandpa's place to play more in the future. Of course, you don't have to do anything. It's the same as today. Just have fun there."
At that time, Zhou Shen was still a child, so he was ignorant of this, but for children, there is an infinite temptation to be able to have an unrestrained place.
From then on, he really went to play in the courtyard where his ancestor lived from time to time. After he became an adult and sensible, he realized how profound his destiny was.
After all, this is the golden patriarch of the family!
Fortunately, the patriarch didn't let his wife be utilitarian at first, otherwise... Thinking of this, Zhou Shen smiled slightly.
This assumption is not necessary, after all, it is already an established thing, why bother to think about it now, anyway, this is my blessing.
Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors.
But even if they are adults and sensible, Zhou Shen and Jin Quanxiu are still in a relationship like a year-end friend. Although there is more respect in the words, it is only respect for the seniors, and it is more sincere.
Sincerity is the nirvana.
Jin Quanxiu, who was meditating in the courtyard, also opened his eyes at this time, because he had sensed Zhou Shen coming in, and couldn't help but smile.
This child was grown up by him, and he has the heart of a child, which is very similar to his former second disciple Shen Wuque.
Even the expression between the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, I don't know if there is an extra layer of filter, Jin Quanxiu has been watching Zhou Shen grow up healthily, this period of time may be the comfort in his last time.
As soon as Zhou Shen came in, he bowed and saluted, then sat down next to Jin Quanxiu unceremoniously, and directly raised his voice.
"Old Ancestor, let me tell you, the recent Immortal City is really different, do you think these people are stupid, and they can get their hands on this Immortal Dynasty Dabi?
It was really greedy, they were all blinded by lard, a group of idiots, I am afraid they didn't know how they died in the end. "
Jin Quanxiu just listened to him and smiled without opening his mouth, and after he finished drinking tea, he smiled and said, "You can understand it.
However, this is all a personal choice, and has nothing to do with right or wrong. Some people think that peace is a blessing, but some people want to fight between the world and the earth, fighting for the chance of survival.
In fact, no matter what, it is life and death in the end, it depends on your own good fortune, Shen'er, tell the truth, do you really have no desire to compete for supremacy?
Don't say that there may be other immortals coming, just talk about other immortals in Dongsheng Xianchao, don't you want to see their demeanor?
The Immortal Dynasty Order made it very clear that under the power of the third level of refining the void, everyone has the qualifications for the Grand Competition. It can't be said that you are the chosen one, and you will soar into the sky after that. "
Zhou Shen quickly took a sip of tea, and then said a little funny: "Ancestor, you are kidding me again, I am always careful, no, it should be said that my Zhou family just wants to live in peace, without tainting karma at all.
Which step I, Zhou Jiaerlang, can go on the road of cultivating immortality, is actually fate, so why fight against fate as a human being?
It's better to stay safe and secure, what should be yours is yours, or even better to take advantage of this chaotic time to cultivate yourself.
After all, no one knows what the future holds. Rather than being hesitant, it is better to enjoy the present life with peace of mind. Thinking about things is simply a waste of life. "
"You monkey..."
Hearing this, Jin Quanxiu couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded. Shen Wuque was also so rambunctious back then. Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Shen, his eyes couldn't help becoming more gentle.
If my three disciples were still here, I’m afraid they would have been arguing, after all, they have different personalities.
But after the three of them reunited underground, they must have had a good time, right? The teacher will come soon, so don't worry too much.
Seeing Jin Quanxiu's expression at this time, Zhou Shen couldn't help but feel moved. He had seen the ancestor's expression like this several times since he was a child. Now that he had experience, he got up and left.
It doesn’t matter if the ancestor’s cultivation is as high as the sky, in fact, he is also a human being, and sometimes he should have his own space.
Watching Zhou Shen leave quietly, Jin Quanxiu looked up at the sky of the fairy city again, even though he was in the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun, he felt the difference in the heavenly secret at this time.
Repress, kill!
But it also vaguely contains vigorous vitality.
I'm afraid that this world of great controversy is really coming, and I don't know whether the Longevity Immortal City will be **** or pass through safely.
But even he is just a pawn, as Zhou Shen said, it is useless to think too much.
Follow fate, let nature take its course.
However, he looked at the direction Zhou Shen was leaving, and a look of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but no matter what, if there is a life-and-death crisis, he must give him the greatest protection before he dies.
Hope everything goes well.
…
The City Lord's Mansion.
Prison.
Zhou Shen still goes to work, he doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong at all, he just wants to be a jailer with peace of mind, and have nothing to do with the world.
It is best to wait for him to pass on his position to the next generation when he is old. In the eyes of the Zhou family, safety is a blessing.
It's just that, early this morning, he had just sat down, and before he had time to inspect the prison as usual, he received a secondment order from the City Lord's Mansion.
Some jailers in the City Lord's Mansion need to cooperate with the City Lord's Foreign Affairs Office to go to the city to collect taxes, which has never been done with such fanfare before.
It seems that City Lord Su Wu is also very anxious this time, and wants to collect more cultivation resources as soon as possible before the big competition officially breaks out, so as to speed up his own cultivation speed.
But also because of Su Wu, the atmosphere in the entire fairy city has become more and more exciting. Most people are born in the world and are always fighting.
Competing for resources, fighting for opportunities, everything is for the cultivation of immortality...
Zhou Shen, a small prison guard, naturally couldn't refuse the secondment from the City Lord's Mansion, so he accepted his order honestly.
After he set off with the collection team, the commander took a look at the scope of collection he was responsible for, and began to directly assign tasks.
"Zhou Shen, this area is the area where your Zhou family's mansion is located, and you are considered a local snake, so this area will be handed over to you."
"Here!"
Receiving the commander's order at this moment, Zhou Shen quickly agreed. Although the expression on his face didn't change, he felt a little excited in his heart.
Why do you suddenly feel a good omen in your heart? Is there any opportunity waiting for me? At this moment, Zhou Shen's heart was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.
But soon he calmed down. If there is a chance, just let it be. If it is his own, he will definitely not leave.
Then Zhou Shen returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and started collecting taxes one after another with two fellow jailers.
As for the storage bag for tax collection on the spot, Zhou Shen and the other three were not worried at all. Anyone who dares to rob the city lord's mansion will die! ?
The collection of taxes went smoothly all the way, until in front of a deep courtyard, where the owner didn't seem to be there.
When Zhou Shen was still thinking about whether to go to another house first and then come back, he just turned around and didn't go far, and happened to meet the monk who had paid the tax before.
At first, Zhou Shen didn't care about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked with a smile: "This fellow daoist, I don't know where the fellow daoist is in the courtyard ahead?"
After all, Zhou Shen is now a subject of the City Lord's Mansion, and the other party immediately replied, "You mean Liang Daoyou? At this time, you should take your servants to listen to books in the corner tavern."
Zhou Shen immediately thanked him, and did not go to the next house to collect taxes. The other two saw him like this, and originally he was the main tax collector in this area, so naturally they would not object.
But no one knew that Zhou Shen's heart was turbulent, because when he heard the words Liang Daoyou, a good omen burst out in his heart.
Not surprisingly, this fellow Daoist Liang was due to this auspicious omen. When he arrived at the tavern, before he asked the shopkeeper who was Daoist Liang, his eyes were attracted by a monk.
This person is none other than Liang Sheng.
When Liang Sheng saw Zhou Shen, he felt a little throbbing in his heart, just like Chu Chen, the similar flower that Fan Su saw back then.
Second Senior Brother, are you back yet?
