Chapter 651 Goodbye, Madam Zhu (Special Chapter)

"Fellow Daoist Jiang really can't give in?"

Ancestor Kurong asked very reluctantly.

The Nine Tribulation Heavenly Vine is very important to him. Now that the world has begun to change, when it is completely restored, he will be able to try to break through the True Immortal Realm. By then, he will also have to go through the True Immortal Tribulation.

And if he could have the help of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine, he would be 10% more sure.

But don't underestimate this mere 10%.

Looking at the powerful people in the past, there are many who can become human immortals, but there are only a few who can overcome the true immortal tribulation and become true immortals. This shows how difficult it is to become an immortal.

"In my opinion, it would be better for Taoist friend Ku Rong to give in and let you and I work together to deal with the Witch Temple. The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine will be mine, and fellow Taoist Taoist Brother can get resources of equal value.

With the accumulation of the Witch Temple, he might also have other treasures that can help him overcome the tribulation. "

Jiang Che sincerely invited.

In the Witch Temple, he currently knows of a strong man who has understood the power of rules. With his current strength, it is not difficult to deal with him. It is not yet known whether he can kill him.

After all, no one knows how strong the opponent is without fighting.

For example, Monk Ranchen and Ji Chengdao, their background and strength are much stronger than those of ordinary immortals.

If there is one more rule fairy to assist, this battle will be truly sure.

certainly.

Even if Ancestor Kurong doesn't help, he will not give up and will choose to give it a try.

Yes.

At this moment, Jiang Che has made up his mind to go to the Southern Xinjiang Witch Temple.

He naturally did not have this idea at first. After thinking about solving the Buddhist incident, he went to the Northland to rush for reinforcements and tried his best to seize the Heaven-Building Lotus from the Northern Barbarian Royal Court.

But now that he already knows the whereabouts of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine, he will naturally not abandon the near and seek the far away.

Furthermore, in comparison, the Witch Temple is easier to deal with.

"this"

When Ancestor Kurong heard this, he frowned deeply and fell into hesitation.

Naturally, he wants the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine more, but in the current situation, it is obvious that Jiang Che is also determined to win. Unless he can surpass Jiang Che, it is really hard to say where the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine will belong.

But the problem is, if he was really sure that he could suppress Jiang Che, he would not have given the life-extending magic item to Jiang Che before. That would be a sign of weakness.

Jiang Che was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the other party to make up his mind.

After a full quarter of an hour, Ancestor Ku Rong said:

"After you get it, I will be the first to pick out the spoils except the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine. The rest will be divided 50-50 between you and me."

For Ancestor Kurong, the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine is indeed important, but the accumulation of the Witch Temple is also terrifying. If he can get some treasures, it will be more helpful to him in the future.

What's more, he has not completely given up on the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Vine. If there is a chance, he will also fight for it.

Everything depends on the situation at that time.

"certainly."

Jiang Che nodded immediately.

"When will we do it?"

"Of course, sooner rather than later, you and I will set off for southern Xinjiang immediately." Jiang Che said solemnly.

"So urgent?"

Ancestor Kurong raised his eyebrows lightly.

"The world is about to undergo great changes, and time waits for us not to wait."

Jiang Che stared in the direction of the Great Leiyin Temple and let out a sigh.

Today's world is a time of great struggle, and the change of imperial court is just a part of it. The real great struggle is not about the secular dynasty, but about becoming a true immortal.

Once a true immortal appears here, the situation in heaven and earth will usher in a real big change.

Even if he does not become the first true immortal, he still must have the strength to compete with the true immortal.

Otherwise, it will be just a knife and a trap for others, and I will be the flesh and blood of the fish.

The weak eat the strong, nothing more than that.

After making up their minds, Jiang Che and Ancestor Kurong did not hesitate, and directly changed direction with Ancestor Kurong, tearing open the void and heading south.

On the way, Ancestor Kurong was still very curious and wanted to see the Gate to the Realm, which was touted by many people, but Jiang Che politely refused. The Gate to the Realm was his last resort.

He would not allow potential enemies like Ancestor Kurong to enter, lest any accidents occur.

Jiang Che and Ancestor Kurong are both top experts in the world, and their movement speed is extremely fast. Walking in the turbulent flow of the void can be said to move the void.

He rushed with all his strength, and in less than a day, he crossed tens of thousands of miles of territory and arrived at Yuezhou, the southernmost tip of the Central Plains, and this was also the place where he started.

Suddenly.

Jiang Che, who was on his way, suddenly stopped as if he sensed something, causing Ancestor Kurong beside him to show a strange look, frowning and asked:

"What's wrong? But what happened?"

Jiang Che shook his head:

"No, I just encountered the realm where I once stayed. Senior, please wait here for a while. Jiang will come back as he goes."

After saying that, Jiang Che directly tore open the void and stepped out.

And the hometown he mentioned was Tai'an Mansion.

Although he was moving in the turbulent flow of the void, he had been paying attention to the outside world to avoid taking the wrong route. The reason why he stayed was because his location was not far from Taishan City.

If Yanggu County is the place where Jiang Che started, then Taishan City is the place where Jiang Che made his fortune. After he achieved innate talent and eradicated all enemies, he gained the respect of Qi Sanjia, the former Tai'an captain.

He was arranged to serve as the capital of Taishan City.

It was also here that Jiang Che met Huang Shanshan. Because of his outstanding talent, he was recommended by Qi Sanjia to marry into the Beiling Qi Clan, which led to his smooth growth.

However, after Jiang Che successfully married, he never came back again except for returning once to take away a group of confidants. Although it was only a few years ago, Jiang Che felt as if he was in another world.

He even had an inexplicable urge to stop.

He slowly fell from the void. Under the coverage of the domain, no one in Taishan City noticed his abnormality, and Jiang Che landed on the familiar yet unfamiliar streets in the city.

Walking on the street, scenes of the past surged into his mind like a tide. Even though Jiang Che was calm in his heart, he also had a lot of feelings at this moment. He casually took out a gourd of spiritual wine from the storage magic treasure.

Jiang Che did what he wanted, measuring the street step by step, and pouring a sip of wine into his mouth from time to time.

Compared to when he was in office, the current Taishan City has undergone several changes and has long been unrecognizable. The six major forces of Tai'an Prefecture have long become a thing of the past.

Only a few rumors remain.

Among them, Jinyuan Temple, Fulong Temple and other forces were destroyed.

And the Zhenhai Palace, Wanshou Manor, Yaowang Valley and other forces that followed Jiang Che have long moved away from this place. Many of their old friends have died, including the former Palace Master of Zhenhai Palace and his sworn brother Wan Pengyun.

They all died on the way to follow Jiang Che to fight.

Although the inheritance has not been broken, and even developed better, the original few people are gone after all.

There is also Li Xuanfeng, the young master of the Li family in Yanggu County, who was once a registered disciple of Jiang Che, who was also killed by the government because of his involvement in the court. And Zhu Xu, the son of Zhu Sheng, also died in Yuezhou.

And Madam Zhu.

When the memory of Madam Zhu came to his mind, Jiang Che didn't know why, but he actually felt a sigh in his heart. Madam Zhu also died, but it was not because of him.

She died of illness. When he was in Yuezhou City, he learned the news. At that time, he felt inexplicably touched and irritated, but he never came to pay tribute.

Busy affairs were just an excuse. The real situation was that he was a little depressed from the bottom of his heart and wanted to forget about it, so he intentionally or unintentionally skipped it later.

Thinking back to this matter, and thinking about the illusion of the heart demon when he broke through before, Jiang Che's eyes moved. He knew that this matter could not be avoided and he had to go there.

Outside Taishan City.

Qingjiang Temple.

This is a Taoist temple that is not very famous. At the same time, it is also a female temple that was established not long ago. It is located near the former Wangyue Lake Lu family. The owner of the temple is surnamed Zhu, and his Taoist name is Qingjiang. Some people call him Qingjiang Taoist Nun.

And her true identity is not unfamiliar to Jiang Che.

It was Zhu Qingqing, the daughter of Zhu Sheng and the sister of Zhu Xu.

At this time, she had already entered the innate realm. Jiang Che was not sure how she broke through, but he guessed that it was inseparable from Zhu Xu's help.

Although Zhu Xu died, he was Jiang Che's confidant at the time and was able to obtain a lot of resources. Later, under his arrangement, he gave a lot of pensions. If nothing unexpected happened, all these pensions should belong to her.

Jiang Che didn't feel much about this. In fact, with his current cultivation and status, he had long forgotten the little unpleasantness in the past, and also forgot about Zhu Qingqing.

And the reason why he came here was to pay tribute to Madam Zhu. Her tomb was built on the top of a mountain in Qingjiang Temple.

In the void.

Jiang Che slowly landed on the top of the mountain. Under the coverage of the field, he easily found the other party's tombstone. Looking at the content on the tombstone, Jiang Che's eyes flashed with a trance.

"The tomb of Zhao's daughter Qingyue, daughter Zhu Qingqing erected a monument here."

Mrs. Zhu's surname is not Zhu, but Zhao, and her name is Qingyue. Jiang Che knew this, but he was more accustomed to calling her 'Mrs. Zhu' and never called her by her real name.

But the content on the tombstone still made Jiang Che feel a little sad.

Sitting in front of the tombstone, Jiang Che took a sip of spirit wine and couldn't help saying:

"You stupid woman, if you had left with me, why would you be here."

"If you are sick, come to me, what kind of difficult and complicated disease can't be cured?"

"Why don't you come to me?"

"Do I look so unkind?"

Jiang Che murmured in a low voice, without any expression on his face, but if you look at his eyes, you can see that Jiang Che's emotions are very unstable at the moment.

In fact, Jiang Che himself did not have much feelings for Mrs. Zhu, but just thought that this woman was very interesting and willing to play some bad fun with him.

In addition, she was the first woman he dealt with after coming to this world, which made her have a certain status in his heart.

If it is love, it is definitely not the case.

Jiang Che has never liked her from the bottom of his heart.

It is for this reason that when Mrs. Zhu chose to stay in Taishan City and not leave with him, Jiang Che did not give too much advice, let alone use tough means to take her away.

In Jiang Che's view at that time, this was just a dispensable woman.

The world is so big, what kind of woman can't he find?

If she is unwilling to follow him, then just give up.

This is the true portrayal of Jiang Che's heart at the time.

Later, when Jiang Che met Princess Ning in Tiannan, he used Princess Ning to smoothly fill the position of Madam Zhu. At that time, he had even forgotten this woman.

So when did the other party really make him feel touched?

It was on the day of his wedding with the sisters of the Qi family. Madam Zhu asked Liu Zhi to send him a wedding gift. Jiang Che still remembers that Madam Zhu gave him two Yuan crystals.

At that time, the two Yuan crystals were dispensable to Jiang Che, but he still had some feelings. He even asked Liu Zhi to take care of Madam Zhu. But at that time, Jiang Che did not have the idea of ​​coming back to see her.

It was not until the news of Madam Zhu's death reached his ears and he encountered a demon in his heart when he was overcoming the tribulation, which was even a big trouble, that Jiang Che finally realized that this woman had some place in his heart.

But it was too late at this time.

Sometimes people are like this. When they are there, they don’t feel that there is nothing they can’t lose, but when they really lose it, they will have some concerns.

Jiang Che thought of this, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, took a big sip of the wine in the gourd, and then slowly sprinkled it in front of the tombstone.

Now he can only feel it at most. Although he has the power to destroy the world, he still can't do things like bringing people back to life.

"I hope you can be an ordinary person in your next life."

Jiang Che just finished speaking, his eyes suddenly looked towards a certain place in Qingjiang Temple, and then stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.

A moment later.

A figure came from the sky. The person was wearing a plain Taoist robe, his long hair was tied up in a bun, his face was handsome, and he was carrying a low-grade spiritual sword behind him. As for his identity, it was none other than Zhu Qingqing.

"Who are you and why?"

Zhu Qingqing, who looked solemn, was about to ask, when she saw the figure in front of her slowly turning back, a pair of deep eyes fell on her, and suddenly, Zhu Qingqing's body shook.

The sword in her hand was almost not steady, and her eyes widened with some trembling:

"Jiang Jiang. Jiang Che"

Zhu Qingqing's voice trembled, as if she was a little unbelievable.

"Long time no see."

Jiang Che smiled calmly.

Zhu Qingqing was stunned on the spot, and then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly bowed:

"Meet His Majesty the King of Martial Arts."

Obviously, Zhu Qingqing knew the status of Jiang Che at the moment, and her eyes were full of shock.

"You and I are old acquaintances, no need to be polite."

Jiang Che's thoughts moved, and an invisible wave lifted Zhu Qingqing, which also made her feel mixed. She stood aside for a long time without saying anything.

"It's not bad to become a monk, to cultivate one's character."

Jiang Che retracted his gaze and fell on the tombstone again.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Che raised his hand and pointed to the front and said:

"I walked here on the way to see my old friend."
