Chapter 3 So That’s How It Is (1/2)

The cultivators borrowed the power of heaven and earth to travel thousands of miles in an instant. In just half a day, a few people arrived at a small town near the Shangqing Sect. This is why Wen Ren'e slowed down and waited for Yin Hanjiang. If it were him, he could arrive in a quarter of an hour.

The realms of cultivators in this world are divided into nine levels: entraining qi, refining qi, building foundation, golden elixir, Yuanying, transforming into gods, combining bodies, Jingxu, and Mahayana. Each level has nine smaller realms, breaking through the Mahayana stage. The nine levels of heaven will bring down the heavenly calamity, and they will transcend the calamity and ascend to the immortal world. It is said that in the immortal world, there are realms such as loose immortals, heavenly immortals, golden immortals, Daluo golden immortals, immortal kings, and immortal emperors. Breaking through the immortal emperor will ascend to the divine realm. The world of gods is also divided into countless levels, but no matter how much the acquired gods practice, they will never be able to defeat the innate gods. Innate gods coexist with heaven and earth, and acquired cultivators, no matter how strong they are, can only borrow the power of heaven and earth. The former is my home, while the latter is a borrowed place. There is always a big difference.

Demon Lord Wenren'e is already recognized as the number one person in the devil's path, and he is only on the sixth level of Mahayana. The heroine was countless times stronger than everyone in this book in her previous life, but she gave up her godhood for He Wenchaosheng. It is not strange. Ren'e thought there was something wrong with her brain.

He even suspected that He Wenchao used some evil magic to control the heroine's soul. However, no matter how powerful the evil magic in the world of cultivation was, it would be defeated by Baili Qingmiao after she merged with the godhead. This is like a drop of venom melting into the ocean, or a wisp of poisonous smoke being swept into the storm. In the face of absolutely powerful power, all sorcery is empty talk.

Wen Ren'e sat on the second floor of the teahouse, took a sip of the tea served by Yin Hanjiang, and frowned in deep thought.

"My subordinate's skills are low and I missed the Lord's timing." Yin Hanjiang stood behind Wen Ren'e and said without sitting down.

"It doesn't matter," Wen Ren'e pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down."

Yin Hanjiang sat obediently next to Wen Ren'e. He would not sit down until his superior gave an order. He would not hypocritically say "I dare not" when your superior gave an order. Under Wen Ren'e's order, Yin Hanjiang would do it even if he didn't dare.

"Be natural and calm down. You and I are just martial arts people who know a little bit about boxing and kicking." Wen Ren'e ordered when he saw that Yin Hanjiang's back was stiff.

He ordered Yin Hanjiang to move, and his straight back relaxed, but the muscles were still tense.

Yin Hanjiang rarely looked at Wen Ren'e and almost didn't raise his head. He held the tea cup in his hand and stared at the tea with a faint fragrance without taking a sip.

Like a puppet on strings, without a thought, it moves when someone says something.

Yin Hanjiang's strength is only at the first level of fusion, but in Xuanyuan Sect, it is lower than one person and more than ten thousand people. The weakest of the four altar masters, Yuan Tan, also has the ninth level of fusion. The other three are at the peak of Jingxu, right protector Shu Yanyan There is also the sixth level of Jingxu. Among the six people directly subordinate to Wen Ren'e of Xuanyuan Sect, Yin Hanjiang is the weakest.

It stands to reason that he should not be the Zuo Protector in any case. The reason why he can hold a high position is because Wen Ren'e trusts him and he is loyal to Wen Ren'e.

When Wen Ren'e picked him up among the corpses, Yin Hanjiang had only one breath left. He was poisoned by corpse poison, and half of his body was in disrepair. No one would regard him as a living person, even if they knew he still had breath. Someone will save him.

When he heard that someone was passing by, he had an extremely keen sense of life and death, and found Yin Hanjiang, whose eyes were dull and waiting for death.

At that time, Wen Ren'e, who was still the leader of a small sect in the Demon Dao, kicked Yin Hanjiang's corpse away with his toes, looked down at the child, and said in a ruthless voice: "I need a sword."

Little Yin Hanjiang got the strength from nowhere, raised his little arm, and grabbed Wen Ren'e's shoes.

Since then, Yin Hanjiang has become an emotionless sword, wielded only for Wen Renhe.

His strength developed rapidly, and he was promoted to the combined stage in just a few decades, several times faster than Wen Ren'e's back then. Unexpectedly, after the integration period, Yin Hanjiang would not be able to advance no matter how hard he practiced, and his realm would remain stagnant for a hundred years. 78 Chinese first release m.

Wenren Urban thought that Yin Hanjiang's qualifications would end at the combined stage, but the book clearly stated that the ghost-faced man's strength was at the peak of the Mahayana stage.

This is also the reason why the heroine never guessed that Yin Hanjiang was the Ghost-faced Man. First, Yin Hanjiang was too kind to her in the early stage, and there was no doubt about it. Second, although Yin Hanjiang got some opportunities because of protecting the heroine, his strength is also at the ninth level of the fusion. Who would mistake the ghost-faced man in the Mahayana period to be Yin Hanjiang?

In the later stages of the story of Sadomasochism, the ghost-faced man is already the number one person in the world of cultivation. If he hadn't been obsessed with refining oil with Baili Qingmiao, he would have broken the void and transcended the tribulation and ascended long ago.

Baili Qingmiao was really thrown into the furnace by the Ghost-Faced Man, but she was lucky enough to fuse with her godhead at the critical moment, burst out with extremely terrifying power, and kill Yin Hanjiang instantly.

Yin Hanjiang is in the combined stage, but the ghost-faced man is in the Mahayana stage, which is two realms behind.

Wen Ren'e looked at the profile of his most trusted subordinate and said, "Stretch out your hand." 78 Chinese first release m.

Yin Hanjiang reached out his hand, Wen Ren'e clasped his veins, and a stream of true energy was injected into his body from the heart veins between his wrists. After some inspection, he was sure that he was truly a first-level fusion body without any adulteration. Moreover, there is a large amount of unconvertible true energy accumulated in his dantian, which he left behind after hundreds of years of practice. It must be that he forced himself to contain the unbearable amount of true energy in order to break through the realm. This must be very painful.

If it weren't for that book, Wen Ren'e would never have understood Yin Hanjiang's situation, and would have always thought that he was not talented enough.

It seems that many seemingly unbelievable plots in the book actually have reasonable explanations.

"How long has this been going on?" Wen Ren'e asked.

Yin Hanjiang avoided talking and said instead: "My subordinates will try their best to break through."

Looking at him like this, some older memories emerged in Wen Ren'e's mind. After he brought Yin Hanjiang back to the sect, he wanted to kill the rival sect, so he left him to be let loose in the sect, and casually threw a set of exercises over for Yin Hanjiang to practice on his own.

When he returned to the sect ten years later, Yin Hanjiang had grown into a tall and upright young man, chopping the sword again and again in the back mountain. The task Wen Ren'e left for Yin Hanjiang ten years ago was to cut off the back mountain waterfall, and he did so for ten years.

Persistence, determination, and loyalty are three words that are enough to describe Yin Hanjiang's entire person.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Wen Ren'e said, "Just take your time, I'm already strong enough."

He thought it was comfort, but unexpectedly, Yin Hanjiang's eyes flashed with sadness of abandonment, and he asked hoarsely: "Does the Lord not need any subordinates?"

In fact, there is no need for it anymore. Back then, Wenren'e wanted to unify the demonic path and was in urgent need of talents. Now that the Xuanyuan Sect has grown in power, the entire demonic path has been subdued by Wen Ren'e, and the four guardians on the left and right of the sect are loyal to him. Wen Ren'e no longer needs a guardian who is only in the combined stage to protect him.

Yin Hanjiang's sword had no chance to be unsheathed.

Wen Ren'e didn't answer his words. He took out the book thicker than a brick from Qiankun's sleeve and opened a certain page.

That was when Yin Hanjiang protected Baili Qingmiao from being chased by the Shangqing faction. Baili Qingmiao gratefully said to Yin Hanjiang: "Brother Yin, you are so good to me."

Yin Hanjiang held the sword, and his face with a slight smile was reflected in the firelight: "You are the only person who needs to be protected by the sword."

At first glance, one might think that Yin Hanjiang is suppressing his love for Baili Qingmiao deep in his heart and using loyalty as an excuse. When he looked again, Wen Ren'e noticed the word "sword".

Wen Ren'e had left Yin Hanjiang's sword idle for too long, and for Baili Qingmiao's safety, he picked up the sword again. Why is Yin Hanjiang laughing? It's not that he likes Baili Qingmiao, it's that he is needed by Wen Renhe.

Wen Ren'e took back the book and looked at Yin Hanjiang. An unknown feeling arose in his heart, a little sour.

"I don't need a sword anymore." He said coldly.

The light in Yin Hanjiang's eyes extinguished little by little. He withdrew his hand from the table and firmly held the sword at his waist.

The book uses "holding a sword" many times to describe Yin Hanjiang's movements. Cultivators can put their natal magic weapons into their bodies when they reach the foundation building stage. Even in the Qi refining stage, there are storage magic weapons such as the Qiankun bag, so there is no need to hold the weapon in the hand. , but Yin Hanjiang is always holding his sword.

Wen Ren'e didn't know that his eyes softened, and he continued: "But I need Yin Hanjiang."

Yin Hanjiang's hand on the sword loosened, and he heard Ren'e say: "I have known Yin Hanjiang since a young age. I don't trust anyone in the world, but I only trust Yin Hanjiang."

"Your Majesty..."

Yin Hanjiang was interrupted before he could speak. A woman wearing a thin white dress holding a pipa walked up to the second floor, played the pipa and sang.

Wen Ren'e: "..."

Yin Hanjiang: "..."

This woman was none other than Shu Yanyan. The two of them were used to seeing her in sexy clothes, but they were really not used to the pitiful Shu Yanyan who looked like a little white lotus trembling in the wind.

There were many guests sitting on the second floor. Shu Yanyan was a teahouse singer. After singing a song, she started selling flowers.

She takes the path of self-reliance and self-improvement. She sings for free, but she sells flowers after singing. The income from selling flowers has to be divided 30-70 by the teahouse owner. The teahouse owner is 70%, and she is 30%. How pitiful she is.

Wen Ren'e held an ingot of ten taels of silver in his palm and threw it into the flower basket in front of Shu Yanyan. Shu Yanyan slowly walked up to Wen Ren'e holding the flower basket and said softly: "This guest, this little lady is not Singing songs, but selling flowers. A basket of flowers only costs ten cents, so you don’t need that much money.”

There were ten baskets of flowers at her feet. After selling them all and giving them to the boss, she was left with only 30 Wen, which she could only eat for half a month, and she had to eat steamed buns for the rest of the day.

Wen Ren'e didn't look at Shu Yanyan, but squinted at Yin Hanjiang and said through the voice: "Call me brother."

Yin Hanjiang's expression looked like he was in a dream. According to the script Wen Ren'e gave him, he recited the lines without emotion: "Respect... my elder brother tells you to accept it, so you accept it. Don't be disrespectful."

The words "big brother" came out of his mouth, and Yin Hanjiang's ears turned red.

"Thank you two gentlemen for your kindness, but you shouldn't collect money. The little girl won't accept it." Shu Yanyan stretched out her long, cold fingers, took out the money from the flower basket, put it on the table for the two of them, and politely made a blessing.

Logically speaking, Wen Ren'e should have thrown the silver into Shu Yanyan's lapel and said, "I'll take it back if you take it out in public," and let her cry helplessly in the teahouse. However, he was really not good at doing this kind of thing, and Yin Hanjiang didn't have this hobby either. The two of them could only drink tea in silence and ignore Shu Yanyan.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Shu Yanyan felt a little anxious. If she didn't bully her, how could she act next? She had already arranged for her subordinates to perform this scene, but who knew that His Majesty wanted to come and watch the fun, so she ordered her subordinates to stand by and leave the highlight to the Master.

She thought that men all had this bad nature, and wouldn't it be a pleasure to act in such a drama? Unexpectedly, the Lord is not such a person at all and has no interest in bullying the weak.

Not a demon cultivator? Wouldn't it be nice to do something that a demon cultivator should do?

Shu Yanyan saw that He Wenchao and Baili Qingmiao had already arrived under the teahouse. The stage had not been set up yet when the audience arrived. This was not a good thing. She was so anxious that she blinked wildly at the Lord, her wonderful eyes blinking out of the window.

"Come on." Wen Ren'e secretly sent a message to Yin Hanjiang.

He decided to give Yin Hanjiang more instructions to do in the future, so that he would not act like "the Lord doesn't need me, so I can just die."

Yin Hanjiang recalled the script given by Shu Yanyan. After hearing the Lord's order, he looked blankly at the beautiful Shu Yanyan. He... was going to pull off Shu Yanyan's clothes and stuff money into her chest? Or in front of the Lord?

He was very embarrassed, but this was the Lord's order!

"Just make your own decision. Don't worry about Shu Yanyan's plan." Wen Ren'e sensed Yin Hanjiang's dilemma and ordered through a message.

After receiving permission, Yin Hanjiang's expression suddenly relaxed, and he said coldly and ruthlessly: "Since you don't know how to show appreciation, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he picked up Shu Yanyan with one hand and threw her down from the second floor, directly to the feet of He Wenchao and Baili Qingmiao.

Shu Yanyan: "..."

He Wenchao saw a figure flying down from the sky and wanted to go up to help, but Baili Qingmiao was beside him. He had just quarreled with Baili Qingmiao over the matter of Junior Sister Liu of the Shangqing sect and did not want to make her angry. Seeing that the figure was a The woman who couldn't see her face didn't take action.

On the contrary, Baili Qingmiao saw someone falling from the second floor and flew forward to save the person. Shu Yanyan's plan fell into pieces. She couldn't let Baili Qingmiao save her no matter what. It was He Wenchao who hugged other women in front of Baili Qingmiao!

So Shu Yanyan's heart suddenly changed, she used her true energy to speed up, and fell down just when Baili Qingmiao touched the corner of her clothes. She also secretly used her true energy to hurt herself, pretending to be seriously injured after the fall.

Baili Qingmiao only grabbed a piece of white clothing material and saw the weak woman falling heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

She fell down, half-knelt in front of the woman, helped her up, and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

After turning around, it turned out to be an acquaintance. Baili Qingmiao was surprised and said, "Miss Shu?"

He Wenchao came belatedly and saw that it was the poor woman he had saved a few days ago. He still had a good impression of her and regretted not being able to save her in time.

Shu Yanyan, whose pseudonym was Shu Lian, was half-hugged by Baili Qingmiao, and a tear fell in her heart. It shouldn't be like this!

According to her script, she was bullied by a customer. He Wenchao couldn't bear it and came to help. He took off his robe and gave it to her who was too weak to cover her body. Baili Qingmiao was blinded by jealousy when she saw her wearing her sweetheart's clothes. , regardless of the situation, He Wenchao had a big quarrel and pushed He Wenchao to her side. Then He Wenchao sent her home, and she cried. He Wenchao hugged her and comforted her. After a while, she got better, man, haha.

Why has it become like this?

Baili Qingmiao took out the healing elixir, opened her jaw gently, and fed the dying Shu Yanyan to take it. It was difficult for ordinary people to withstand the power of the elixir of the cultivation world. Baili Qingmiao could only give Shu Yanyan some medicine to protect her heart and internal organs. She had to rely on Shu Yanyan to recover from skin injuries and fractures.

After taking the medicine, Shu Yanyan's pale face improved a lot, and she could no longer pretend to be dizzy. She opened her eyes in despair, kept her character, and said to Baili Qingmiao with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Miss Baili."

When she fell, Shu Yanyan deliberately protected her face, leaving only a bloody mark on her forehead, retaining a kind of disabled beauty. Coupled with her expression, it became even more lovable. Unfortunately, this expression was facing Baili Qingmiao. He Wenchao was behind Baili Qingmiao and could not see it.

Baili Qingmiao grew up in the Shangqing sect and was taught to fight against the strong and support the weak. She and He Wenchao usually had a little temper. In the past, they would get angry because He Wenchao paid too much attention to Shu Yanyan. But when it comes to big things, she is absolutely no problem.

Baili Qingmiao would not allow a weak woman to be hurt in front of her!

She put one arm around Shu Yanyan's waist, flew up to the second floor, put Shu Yanyan on a chair, and glared at Wen Ren'e and Yin Hanjiang: "Did you throw her down?"

Shu Yanyan no longer dared to look at the Lord, so she stopped pretending to cry.

Wen Ren'e put down his cup and looked at Baili Qingmiao.

In the book, Wen Ren'e and Baili Qingmiao first met when they were practicing martial arts. Then they encountered the Shangqing faction leading the righteous hundred sects to attack the Xuanyuan Sect. They fought against each other forcefully and were seriously injured. They fainted in the river and were killed because of it. Rescued by Baili Qingmiao who was left alone by the other female supporting characters. Baili Qingmiao didn't know Wen Ren'e, so she thought he was an injured comrade from another sect, so she took good care of him.

When Wen Ren'e woke up, he saw a ray of sunshine reflected on Baili Qingmiao's face. She seemed to be covered with a layer of divine light, beautiful and mysterious. Her heart sank in an instant. From then on, she took great care of this kind woman.

Now, Wen Ren'e wanted to see what the scene would be like if he met Baili Qingmiao under ordinary circumstances, without the factors of injury, instability, and life-saving grace.

Baili Qingmiao was furious, her long hair flying with her true energy. Wen Ren'e looked at her and saw a faint divine light covering her body.

Um?

Wen Ren'e blinked, took up his true energy and checked, and still saw the divine light.

Every time Baili Qingmiao is described from Wen Ren'e's perspective in the book, the words used are similar to "goddess" and "sacred". Wen Ren'e is only viewed as rhetoric, but who knows that it is not a description, but a real god? Light!

I looked at Yin Hanjiang and Shu Yanyan with my peripheral vision, but they couldn't see the light.

Wen Ren'e's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly thought that he was cultivating the Tao of Killing, and that he entered the Tao three hundred years ago because of a war.

What was Baili Qingmiao's responsibility in her previous life?

Division of disasters, responsible for releasing disease, war, and death to the world. Baili Qingmiao is eighteen years old this year, which means that the divine catastrophe happened eighteen years ago.

So three hundred years ago, the war when Wen Renhe entered Taoism was led by Baili Qingmiao in his previous life. It means that Wen Ren'e's enlightenment is related to Baili Qingmiao. Can she be regarded as Wen Ren'e's half master?

With this kind of cause and effect, Baili Qingmiao will not be reincarnated, and Wenren's misfortune does not need to be repaid before she ascends to the divine world. However, when Baili Qingmiao was reincarnated, he also encountered misfortune from Wen Ren. He had to repay his teacher's kindness in order to survive the disaster.

I see.
