Chapter 361 Goodbye Tang Ji
This voice quickly passed through Wang Ba's mind.
A figure suddenly flashed in Wang Ba's mind. He didn't have time to think about it and quickly followed the sound.
Then he saw a figure wearing a light blue robe, with handsome eyebrows and a slight beard, standing outside the teleportation array, looking at him with surprise.
"Uncle Tang?!"
Seeing this figure, Wang Yan couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
However, he did not get too carried away. After bowing respectfully, he followed Song Dongyang and walked out of the teleportation array.
In addition to Song Dongyang, the deputy palace master, there were eight Nascent Soul protectors coming to the Diwu Palace, not counting Wang Bao.
There are also fifty or sixty Jindan deacons.
The relatively spacious teleportation array was packed to the brim.
As the guard of the ghost market, Tang Ji didn't have time to reminisce with Wang Ba, so he quickly greeted Song Dongyang and exchanged simple greetings.
Wang Hao moved his eyes slightly and discovered that this teleportation array was actually built in a market.
"The third floor of the ghost market?"
Wang Hao glanced at the familiar street scene and quickly recalled it.
In the past, he followed Yao Wudi and Tang Ji into the third floor of this ghost city and entered the Wanxiang Sect.
Now that he has returned to Chen State, it is obviously the other way around.
First go to the third floor of the ghost market, and then use the teleportation array between the third floor of the ghost market and the second floor of the ghost market to transfer.
Different from before, all the shops on the third floor of the ghost market are closed. Obviously, it is not the time for the ghost market to open.
"Nowadays, the third floor of the ghost market opens every three years, and it only opens for half a year. It happens to be closed now, but the first and second floors are open all year round."
Tang Ji smiled and explained to some curious guardians.
Then he led everyone to another teleportation array leading to the second floor of the ghost city.
After several turnovers.
The group of people finally walked out of the first floor of Linglong Ghost Market.
Immediately, he felt the concentration of spiritual energy around him drop off a cliff.
Many people quickly sealed their bodies to prevent the loss of their spiritual energy.
Wang Yan was also slightly uncomfortable.
At the same time, my heart was filled with surprise.
When he was still in Chen State, he didn't feel how bad the spiritual energy here was.
And it was only now, after seeing the spiritual energy gap between Wanxiang Sect and Xihai Kingdom, that he realized how bad the cultivation environment in Chen Kingdom really was.
Compared to Xihai Kingdom, it is actually much worse.
Now that I think about it, it was really not easy for the five sects of the Chen Kingdom to have so many golden elixir monks and even give birth to a Nascent Soul.
I sighed slightly in my heart.
Look into the distance.
I saw only the mountain mist and the sky far away, and the morning bell lingered.
It doesn't have a clean smell.
What surprised Wang Yan was that the entrance to the Linglong Ghost Market here was not as secretive as the ghost market in Yan State. Instead, there was a plaque erected openly and openly, located in the valley.
It seemed to be morning, but a local monk from Chen Guo had already emerged from the mountain mist.
The morning dew wetted the monks' robes, and in an instant they were evaporated by the magic power and became extremely dry.
The auras of these Chen Guo monks were far more humble and messy than the monks Wang Yan had seen in the sect.
Occasionally there were one or two Jindan cultivators, but they made Wang Ba feel extremely weak.
Wang Yan even felt that even among the group, Tao Ruyi and Zhou Luhe, who had recently achieved the Golden Elixir and were not good at fighting, could easily defeat these people.
After feeling the unfathomable aura of Song Dongyang and others, the Chen Guo monks couldn't help but turn pale, and walked quickly past the group of people with extreme caution.
Neither dare to be too fast nor too slow.
I'm afraid that going too fast or too slow will attract the attention of the Dajin monks whose auras are obviously much stronger.
This cautious and fearful look fell into Wang Yan's eyes, but it felt inexplicably familiar.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he quickly realized where this familiar feeling came from.
In the past, wasn't he similar to the Chen Guo monks in front of him?
The kind of fear instinct generated by facing a powerful existence makes people unconsciously cautious everywhere, and even has delusions of being persecuted.
This is human nature and the instinct of living things.
At this moment, Wang Yan felt something inexplicable.
"Let's go this way."
Tang Ji pointed to a towering mountain peak not far away and said to everyone.
After hearing Tang Ji's words, Wang Hao immediately looked in the direction pointed by the other party and saw a quite familiar mountain peak.
Wang Hao was slightly startled, and after thinking quickly in his mind, he immediately called out the name of the mountain:
"Is this... the Jade Emperor's Peak?"
Tang Jiwei looked at Wang Hao slightly in surprise, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile:
"I almost forgot, nephew Wang, you are from Chen country, so you are very familiar with this place."
It is not surprising that Song Dongyang knew Wang Yan before.
However, some of the monks who were familiar with Wang Ba, such as Lou Yi and others, were a little surprised when they heard this.
They had just seen the situation of the monks in Chen State and felt the harsh cultivation environment here.
I really didn’t expect that people like Wang Yan would be born in such a barren country.
Some people couldn't help but look at Wang Yan with a little more admiration.
With such a low starting point, but being able to reach a high position at such a young age, one can only imagine how outstanding this Right Protector's abilities are.
Song Dongyang frowned slightly. As soon as he thought about it, a mana barrier suddenly opened around him, blocking the sound, and then said in a deep voice:
"Tang Zhengshou, we are here to take over Daqi's inheritance. Time is tight. We can just discuss it in the ghost market. It's better not to delay any more."
Tang Ji shook his head slightly and said:
"Don't worry, Palace Master Song, it won't delay things... You are far away in the sect. Even if you know the situation here, I'm afraid it's not intuitive. I just want to tell everyone about it on the Jade Emperor's summit."
When Song Dongyang heard this, although he was a little anxious, he flew out immediately.
The weakest among them all were the Golden elixir cultivators, but in the blink of an eye, everyone easily flew to the top of the Jade Emperor.
It wasn't until he arrived at the Jade Emperor's Summit that Wang Hao discovered that there were several Nascent Soul monks whose aura was only slightly inferior to Tang Ji's, sitting cross-legged on the top.
Without close contact, Wang Yan wouldn't even be able to feel their presence.
"This is to prevent people from the Kingdom of All Gods from raiding, so I specially asked a few senior brothers to sit here."
Sensing the somewhat surprised looks from everyone, Tang Ji explained softly.
"Isn't there another country of Song across the country?"
Wang Haowei was a little puzzled.
Tang Ji shook his head and said:
"When the Yan Kingdom fell, the Song Kingdom was also attacked at the same time, and was quickly occupied by the Kingdom of All Gods. However, after taking away the mortals of Song Kingdom and many monks, the people of the Kingdom of All Gods returned to the Kingdom of Yan."
Song Dongyang suddenly looked thoughtful after hearing this:
"Is it because you don't dare to declare war on Jin yet, so you take the initiative to retreat?"
Tang Ji nodded: "Maybe it's because of this idea."
As he spoke, he pointed to the southeast and east and said to everyone:
"This area is the direction of the Song Dynasty."
It pointed to the north and northeast.
"And that area is the location of Fu Kingdom."
Tang Ji said in a deep voice:
"The Jade Emperor's Peak is the first pillar of the Chen Kingdom. From here, you can have a panoramic view of these four directions. The survivors of Daqi fled from the capital of Daqi and needed to pass through the four kingdoms of Shi, Wei, Qiao, and Lao. In the end, they either Come from Fu State or Song State."
Song Dongyang couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
Then with a thought in his mind, mana filled his eyes, and he looked away into the distance.
After a few breaths, he nodded.
"It's exactly what Tang Zhenshou said."
But he immediately frowned and said:
"Although this place is convenient, it is somewhat passive. We know that there are Daqi remnants who are fleeing, but we don't know if the Original Demon Sect or the Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom also know about this. We are afraid that they are unwilling to let it go."
"What's more, the four kingdoms of Shi, Wei, Qiao, and Lao are now under the rule of the Kingdom of All Gods. It will not be easy for the survivors of Daqi to flee from these four kingdoms. If no one takes over, I'm afraid..."
Tang Ji's face couldn't help but become solemn:
"Does the Master of the Song Palace mean to take the initiative to cross the Song Kingdom and go to the Four Kingdoms to search?"
"Isn't this a bit too risky? Moreover, the four countries are so big, trying to find these people is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."
Song Dongyang nodded without any hesitation:
"Now that I'm here, I have to make some results at least."
"And this is not aimless. Under the rule of the Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Gods, all living beings are like livestock. Everything follows the rules. Once those remnants of Daqi pass by, they will be like a cone in a bag. There will be twists and turns. Once there is movement, then there will be twists and turns. That’s easy to say.”
Tang Jique still couldn't help but frown:
"Although those evil gods and incense cultivators in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods are not necessarily very powerful, they have various methods and methods. Palace Master Song should not underestimate them..."
"Don't delay, otherwise there will be many twists and turns."
Song Dongyang waved his hand and said, then turned to look at the people he brought.
Among the crowd, several guardians looked calm.
Those who can practice to the level of Nascent Soul are all people with a firm Taoist heart and will not be intimidated by some difficulties.
What's more, as monks of the Jin Dynasty, they despise these evil ways from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, they all responded calmly to Song Dongyang's words.
Wang Yan felt slightly solemn.
Like Tang Ji, he had seen the strangeness of the Incense Tao monks.
Although the fighting skills may not be very strong, some strange methods are difficult to guard against.
For example, outside Yanqiao Pass in the past, the cultivators of the Fire-Eating Vein fought against King Gao.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a Yuanying monk was burned until only the Yuanying remained.
It would be better if one knew about this method in advance, but it would be easiest to fall for it if one is approached rashly and unprepared.
It's just that Song Dongyang is the person with the highest status here, so he can't question it in public.
Wang Hao's thoughts whirled, and then he quietly transmitted the message.
He quickly told Song Dongyang what he had experienced at Yanqiaoguan in the past.
After hearing Wang Ba's message, Song Dongyang looked at Wang Ba with some surprise.
It seems that he didn't expect Wang Yan to have experienced this.
But what puzzled Wang Ba was that Song Dongyang still spoke:
"This trip is not expensive. Protector Bao, Protector Jiang... all of you, please go with me."
"Li, protector Li, you are here with the right protector. I am not here. The right protector is the one with the highest status in the Diwu Palace. You all must obey the orders of the right protector!"
Li Yingfu responded quickly.
Wang Yan was a little surprised.
He originally thought that Song Dongyang would bring everyone with him.
After all, the Four Kingdoms are so big that it would be difficult for just a few people to clear them all.
But since Song Dongyang made such arrangements, he must have his own considerations.
Song Dongyang also immediately looked at Wang Yan:
"Right Protector, you are here, and you can help the ghost market to check the accounts. If anything happens later, I will inform you."
"Hall Master, go ahead with peace of mind. Wang Hao will try his best to handle these matters."
Wang Hao thought quickly in his mind, and at the same time bowed and accepted Song Dongyang's arrangement.
For him, if he could not leave Chen Guo, it was best not to leave.
If it weren't for the difficulty in refusing, he wouldn't even want to come to Chen Guo.
Song Dongyang's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.
After Song Dongyang made the arrangements, despite Tang Ji's repeated dissuasion, he still hurriedly flew east with the seven guardians after carefully understanding the intelligence and maps of the four countries.
After a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tang Ji's face was slightly solemn:
"Palace Master Song is too anxious. The people in the Diwu Palace are not good at fighting. It is better to send a message to the sect and ask the people from the Tianyuan Palace to take action... Now we are in trouble."
When Wang Ba heard this, although he thought so too, he couldn't agree with him.
Just thinking of Song Dongyang's arrangement, he immediately said:
"Uncle Tang, the accounts of the ghost market..."
"Accounts? Oh!"
Tang Ji came back to his senses, and immediately his body froze slightly. After realizing it, he turned his head to look at Wang Ba with shock in his eyes:
"You are... the right protector?!"
"No, aren't you just like them..."
Tang Ji subconsciously looked at Lou Yi and others aside.
That's right, they are all golden elixirs, so they should all be deacons. How can they be the right protectors?
Tang Ji's face was full of astonishment.
Protector Li on the side said with a smile:
"Tang Zhengshou, you don't know this. Although the right protector is a golden elixir, he has made great contributions to the Earthly Things Palace. The ministers of various departments also cooperated with the right protector very much, so he was elected to serve as deputy minister of the two ministries, as well as the earthly things hall. The position of protector on the right side of the Wu Palace."
"But the Right Protector has always kept a low profile, and Tang Zhenshou is far away in Chen State, so you may not have heard of it."
Tang Ji was suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but look at Wang Ba. His eyes were filled with complexity for a moment.
Although he had long seen that Wang Yan was extremely talented.
It was his recommendation that attracted Yao Wudi to accept his disciples, and finally sent Wang Ba to the Wanxiang Sect.
However, when he heard that Wang Ba was already in the position of protector on the right side of the Diwu Palace, Tang Ji was still in a daze.
How long had it been since he sent Wang Ba into the sect?
A hundred years?
No, counting on the fingers, I'm afraid it's only forty or fifty years.
In such a short period of time, the pair of incense cards he carefully crafted has not yet been completed. However, Wang Yan, a little foundation-building monk who used to be unremarkable, has grown to this...
Suddenly, Tang Ji felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Then he looked at Wang Yan, half joking, half sighing:
"The right protector...disrespected."
"Uncle Master is trying to trick me. Don't listen to what Protector Li says. In front of Uncle Master, I am still the same Wang Hao who set up a stall in the ghost market."
Wang Hao smiled casually.
It was just a simple sentence, but it brought Tang Ji back to the scene when the two met for the first time many years ago, and the two couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The traces of life that had been absent for decades suddenly disappeared.
Tang Ji waved his hand and said:
"Let's go. I'll take you to look at the accounts first. When I finish my work later, you have to tell me about your situation in the sect these years."
Wang Hao immediately responded with a smile.
Protector Li immediately followed Wang Yan on his own initiative.
The group returned to the second floor of the ghost market.
Wang Yan also saw the old man in Jinyi, Shang Li, who was still serving as the ghost market manager on the second floor of the ghost market.
Just decades apart.
Shang Li was getting older and older. Wang Hao glanced at him with his spiritual consciousness, only to find that the other party was still building a complete foundation.
Seeing Wang Ba, especially when he saw that even Nascent Soul cultivators like Li Yingfu were following Wang Ba, obviously respecting Wang Ba, Shang Li was stunned.
"Go, quickly bring up all the accounts and let your Uncle Wang take a look."
Tang Ji urged.
Shang Li looked dazed, and then called out to the people in the side hall.
Soon, a gray-haired monk came over with the accounts.
However, the moment he saw the monk, Wang Hao was stunned.
"Wen Yong?"
There's been a lot going on lately, so I'm back too late, I'm sorry everyone
