Chapter 218 Son of God
Purple lightning flashed, and blood splashed into the Suxiang Garden.
Jia He's head fell to the ground, and Zhou Heng felt a little more comfortable.
After becoming a formal member of the Zhou Tian Xunjie Division, he was able to detect the remaining marks of evil spirits on his own.
This is not the first time that he has killed the seventh-grade peak master of Emperor Plague Sect.
After killing Jia He, the evil spirit mark has completely disappeared.
Zhou Heng ignored the panicked brothel women and walked out of Suxiang Garden with the purple electric knife that had no blood left on it.
As soon as I arrived at the door.
Then he met someone, an acquaintance.
Wang Xiuye.
"Brother Zhou, why are you here?" Wang Xiuye looked surprised when he saw Zhou Heng, "Are you here to kill Jia He too?"
"Jia He's head has fallen to the ground." Zhou Heng chuckled and said, "Brother Wang arrived a step too late. He died in my hands."
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhou has already arrived in Xuanzhou after chasing the evildoers." Wang Xiuye felt a little emotional and felt a little guilty, and said: "I'm really sorry about the loose immortal thing last time. I couldn't persuade the elders in the family to help."
More than two months have passed since the Jade Dragon Loose Immortal incident, and he already knows the follow-up.
After Chu Qingchuan of the Shenxiao sect who "died" with him returned to the sect, he persuaded his elders to help deal with the Sanxian together.
After he returned to his family, he failed to persuade his elders. Although this was not his fault, comparing the two things still made him feel very guilty.
"Sorry? That's unnecessary." Zhou Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "What happened will be over."
Because he knew that Wang Xiuye's elder actually helped in the past, and the Spica of Zhou Tian Xunjie Division was actually Wang Xiuye's father, Wang Xueyuan.
"That's not okay. This is the boundary of Xuanzhou now. When you come here, I have to help you wash away the dust and make amends to you." Wang Xiuye said with a smile.
He still wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Zhou Heng.
Moreover, what Zhou Heng has done in the past few months has indeed made him admire him from the bottom of his heart. After all, there are few people in this world who dare to provoke the evil people in the world like this.
Zhou Heng saw that Wang Xiuye was enthusiastic and that there was nothing going on around him, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Wang Xiuye suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Zhou is so polite."
…
The original family of the Xuanzhou Wang family is in Xuanzhou County, which is not too close to Fengyu Town.
More than a thousand miles.
However, after Zhou Heng's bay-red horse took Linju Pills, it could run three thousand miles a day even without the red lotus harness. Although Wang Xiuye's horse was slower, it could still run two thousand miles a day.
Therefore, it took the two of them less than a day to arrive at Xuanzhou County.
It has to be said that this is indeed the most prosperous state, county and city Zhou Heng has ever seen so far.
Xuanzhou City is located in the middle of Daqi, only two states away from the core Zhongzhou. It is considered one of the most prosperous states and counties in the central region, and most of its industries are gemstones and medicinal materials.
Neither Fangzhou nor Suizhou can compare with it.
"Brother Zhou, our Xuanzhou City looks pretty good." Wang Xiuye led the horse and walked side by side with Zhou Heng on the streets of Xuanzhou County City, feeling quite proud.
Because his father, Wang Xueyuan, was not only the eldest son of the Wang family, but also the chief secretary of the Xuanzhou County Yamen, in charge of the residential and market planning of the entire Xuanzhou County.
In other words, the current prosperity and orderly development of Xuanzhou City is inseparable from Wang Xueyuan, the city chief.
"It is indeed a very prosperous county." Zhou Heng nodded gently, glanced at the shops on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but smile: "Many of these shops are the property of my Chunyang Palace."
"Exactly." Wang Xiuye nodded and smiled: "Chunyang Palace's industry in the human world is mostly based on gems, jewelry, and medicinal materials. This happens to be the most prosperous industry in our Xuanzhou City, so Chunyang Palace naturally has more shops. ”
"Now we are in the most prosperous street in Xuanzhou City, "Yuzhi Street". Chunyang Palace's industry can be said to be three steps, one store, five steps, one shop, and it accounts for a huge market share.
"And because my father put in a lot of effort when these shops were established, and he also tried his best to help manage them after they were completed and opened, so there is still a little bit of dividends. This is all thanks to your generosity."
"Haha, no wonder Brother Wang is so eager to make friends with me." Zhou Heng laughed, revealing Wang Xiuye's thoughts.
"Brother Zhou, don't tell me, haha." Wang Xiuye didn't feel embarrassed. They had already talked about this before when they were on the road and had already let it go.
After all, the two of them can be considered friends who have experienced "death together", so they won't have any grudges over this trivial matter.
Deliberately making friends with someone is mostly purposeful at first.
This is normal.
If Wang Xiuye really wanted to be friends with him purely because he admired and admired him, then Zhou Heng might be very cautious, or even stay away from him.
"Third Young Master, Third Young Master!"
At this moment, a young man dressed in blue clothes and a blue hat, dressed as a servant, ran over from a distance, waving as he ran.
"Xiao Tang, what's going on?" Wang Xiuye frowned slightly. This young man in blue was his follower.
"Something happened at home. You should go home first." Xiao Tang gasped quickly, glanced at Zhou Heng next to him, then looked at Wang Xiuye, and whispered: "The eldest brother of the main line, and the master are all here. Waiting for your return."
The master he was talking about was Wang Xiuye's father, Wang Xueyuan, the eldest son of the Wang family in Xuanzhou.
"Okay." Wang Xiuye nodded, and then said to Zhou Heng: "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, we can only speed up our pace. I'll take you to visit Xuanzhou City another day."
"Okay." Zhou Heng nodded gently. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, but he was a little curious about what happened in the Wang family.
"This..." Xiao Tang was a little hesitant when he heard it, and lowered his voice and said to Wang Xiuye: "Third Master, this is not good. This is our Wang family's business. There is an outsider..."
"Xiao Tang!" Wang Xiuye shouted in a low voice, interrupting the boy's words, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"
In his impression, Xiao Tang always spoke with his eyebrows down and didn't dare to say a word of no, but today Xiao Tang's attitude was very different from usual.
There is a problem.
"Third Young Master, I, I am doing this for your own good." Xiao Tang looked aggrieved and said, "You don't know the current situation. You are a collateral branch. This..."
"Lead the way!" Wang Xiuye's face suddenly darkened. He glared at Xiao Tang, then smiled at Zhou Heng and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry about what this boy said. Please come with me."
The identity of a collateral branch is a thorn in his heart.
It's not because he hates his collateral bloodline, nor does he have any resentment towards his parents.
It's because the Wang family, a family of nobles, attaches great importance to the orthodoxy of bloodline. He has to work thousands of times harder than the direct descendants of the main line to get similar family treatment.
Even if he became famous at a young age and was close to the top ten on the human list, he was the most outstanding child of the younger generation of the Wang family in Xuanzhou.
But in fact, his treatment in the family is still not as good as the direct descendants of the orthodox main line, even if those direct descendants are not even in the top 30 on the human list.
Such injustice has become a thorn in his heart.
Zhou Heng nodded and followed him, but he was more and more curious in his heart. What happened in the Wang family now? Even a servant dared to offend Wang Xiuye.
"Could it be that Wang Xiuye is too popular and has overshadowed the main lineage and is going to be suppressed?" Zhou Heng secretly guessed in his heart that this is not impossible.
A family is not a sect.
It is not necessarily the survival of the fittest.
In the aristocratic families, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate is the eternal theme.
The sovereignty of the legitimate lineage and the authority of the main lineage cannot be challenged.
The illegitimate sons and collateral branches should never think of usurping the throne.
Moreover, although the top 20 on the human list can be called geniuses, they are not very outstanding. In fact, whether they can finally step into the secret sixth rank is still unknown.
For the Xuanzhou Wang family, which has been passed down for nearly four thousand years, such a genius is not too much or too little. It is not important.
Now Wang Xiuye is popular and has overshadowed the younger generation of the main lineage.
It is indeed possible to be suppressed.
...
Xiao Tang walked in front to lead the way.
Zhou Heng and Wang Xiuye walked behind, leading the horses, neither of them spoke.
But Zhou Heng used his strong sense to listen to the discussions of the passers-by on the street, trying to find some clues about the changes in the Wang family.
"Hey, did you see before? A young man went to the Wang family mansion with great pomp."
"I saw it, I saw it. That young man was so handsome, and the pomp was really great. Sixteen people carried a golden sedan chair. Under the sun, it was so dazzling that it looked like the sun had fallen."
"What do you mean there were sixteen people carrying the sedan chair? I didn't notice it. I just looked at the maids who were accompanying them. They were all very beautiful. There were probably more than thirty of them. I was so envious."
"What are you envious of? You also want to have more than thirty maids? I'm so angry. Go home and kneel on the washboard! You are so rebellious!"
"I, I'm not, I don't have any, don't talk nonsense! Don't, don't!"
The young couple who spoke were joking with each other, but they also revealed some useful information.
Sixteen people carried the sedan chair.
More than thirty maids accompanying.
"It's really a grand ceremony, who could it be?" Zhou Heng frowned and pondered, and finally gave up helplessly. He didn't know such a showy guy in his impression.
However, just like the sun fell, this description reminded him of a sect, which is one of the ten major sects of Daqi, and has a long heritage, which is said to be traced back to the mythological era.
Sun Palace!
This sect actually began to rise in the Middle Ages of the Saints, but they claimed that they inherited a fairy god who sat in the sun in the mythological era, with a long history, earlier than the Pure Yang Palace.
During the period of the Middle Ages when the Nine Saints fought, a Taoist master of the Sun Palace had a great dispute with a Taoist master of the Pure Yang Palace.
"If it is really the Sun Palace, it's interesting." Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. The most outstanding young disciple of the contemporary Sun Palace is in the top ten of the human list.
Gu Xiao.
Known as the "Son of God".
Ranked sixth on the human list.
...
The Wang family mansion is located in the center of the southern area of Xuanzhou City.
This is a huge garden covering more than 5,000 acres. It is very luxurious and complex. There are many rune prohibitions secretly arranged, which can form a stunning formation at any time.
Of course, this is only the part of the Wang family in the secular world. There are more in the heavenly cave.
However, the "young" generation still walking in the world, as well as several heavenly beings living in the mortal world, still live in this huge garden most of the time.
At this time, in the reception hall of the Wang family mansion, Wang Liangcheng, the eldest son of the main line, sat on a chair carved from golden nanmu.
The direct head of the family is not the head of the family, but just a person who handles various affairs, almost equivalent to the person who helps the head of the family.
Wang Liangcheng's cultivation level is not particularly high, he is at the peak of Secret Sixth Grade.
Separated from him by a tea table, also sitting was an extremely handsome young man with uncannily sculpted facial features.
This young man looks to be in his twenties, with a somewhat arrogant expression. He is wearing a golden robe, with a red sun embroidered on each shoulder and a three-legged crow inside.
It was Gu Xiao, the true disciple of the Sun Palace, sixth on the list of people, known as the "Son of God".
Wang Xueyuan, the branch chief, was also there, but he was making tea aside.
This is the case in a large family. When the main lineage's direct lineage is entertaining guests in the eldest room, if there are any descendants of the concubines present, they should boil tea, pour water, and serve them.
This is the rule.
The longer a family has been inherited, the more they value rules.
"The conditions given by Mr. Gu are indeed very good, but after all, Yuzhi Street is the plan that my brother has worked hard for many years." Wang Liangcheng pretended to be embarrassed and sighed: "Besides, there are many people on that street. It’s not easy to deal with the shops in Chunyang Palace.”
Wang Xueyuan was listening on the sidelines without saying a word.
"Wang Changfang, don't make a mistake." Gu Xiao chuckled, looked at Wang Liangcheng who was sitting aside, and said, "If it weren't for the shops of Chunyang Palace there, I wouldn't be interested in that Yuzhi Street at all."
"We all know this. Mr. Gu, you are the true successor of the Sun Palace, hehe." Wang Liangcheng also laughed and said, "However, this matter is indeed difficult to handle."
"I know what you want to say, I just need to increase my conditions." Gu Xiao said calmly: "I want to make a decision on Yuzhi Street."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, please be happy!" Wang Liangcheng said with a smile.
"Brother." Wang Xueyuan suddenly spoke and said, "Those shops on Yuzhi Street are the only livelihood for many families. If Yuzhi Street disappears, how can they survive?"
"You can just do other business. Is it possible that they will starve to death without the Chunyang Palace property?" Gu Xiao glanced at Wang Xueyuan and smiled at Wang Liangcheng: "Wang Changfang, don't you Wang family have the distinction of legitimate concubine? "
"Xueyuan, did I ask you to interrupt just now?" Wang Liangcheng shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do."
"The matter of Yuzhi Street cannot be decided yet." Wang Xueyuan still shook his head and said: "Let's wait until he returns from his studies. He also has a share of credit for the planning and construction of Yuzhi Street. You should ask him what he means."
"Hahaha!" Gu Xiao laughed, "Interesting!"
"You!" Wang Liangcheng was furious, but he held back his anger. He didn't want to get angry in front of outsiders and lose face.
At this moment, a boy ran in in a hurry.
"Sir, the third young master is back, the third young master of Xiuye is back." This boy is not Xiao Tang, but another boy on duty, running errands and delivering letters.
"He will come back as soon as he comes back. Why did he come here to inform?" Wang Liangcheng's eyes widened and he was immediately frightened.
"But, but..." The young man looked frightened and said in a low voice: "But there is also a true disciple of Chunyang Palace who came with the third young master, named Zhou Heng."
I've been too busy with work these past two days and haven't been able to update as well. I'm sorry and I'll try to resume normal updates tomorrow.
