213 Homecoming(1/2)

When Su Chen heard Deacon Zhou mention these three familiar names, he couldn't help but jump a few times.

He either recognized all these three foundation-building monks, or at least met them once.

Zhuang Bufan, the old acquaintance of Chaoge Fairy City, came out of the underground cave in Yunmengze and joined the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Now that Zhuang Bufan has entered the foundation-building period for five years, it is just when he is going down the mountain, it is normal that he is arranged to be sent by the same Immortal Sect.

Ji Yuanzheng was the senior brother who brought him and Zhuang Bufan into the first place from Chaoge Fairy City. He was the same clan of Master Lu, and his character was OK. Five years ago, Senior Brother Ji performed a mission and it was time to go down the mountain and take a walk.

The last one, Ge Yun.

Su Chen once saw this person once when he was ordering magic weapons in Lingyun Immortal Bing Pavilion. This person was quite proud and was the grandson of a Jindan elder of Penglai Immortal Sect. He was very familiar with Sun Ruoxiang.

"What do you think?"

Deacon Zhou looked at Su Chen, Sun Ruoxiang and the others with anticipation, hoping that they could take on this urgent mission.

Unless the senior Jindan executives personally order to assign, the foundation-building disciples will accept errands in the Disciples' Hall of voluntarily, and if they don't want to, they can't force them.

"Um!"

Su Chen nodded slightly, without refusing. Anyway, he was going down the mountain to experience it, so there was no difference between doing anything.

When Sun Ruoxiang heard that Ge Yun, a familiar disciple of the Jindan family, was surprised and nodded repeatedly: "Senior Brother Ge is going together? It's great. This trip to go down the mountain to experience it will not be too boring."

She was arranged by the elders in her family to follow Su Chen, a monk who was not handsome, was dull and silent, and did not like to talk and went out to practice. She had long been so depressed that she was dying, but she could not refuse.

She didn't expect to meet Senior Brother Ge Yun, so she was so happy.

Seeing that the two agreed, Deacon Zhou immediately sent a note to Ji Yuanzheng, Zhuang Bufan and Ge Yun, asking them to come to the Disciples Hall to meet immediately and prepare to set off. The three of them had already received this assignment, but they were short of manpower and had to wait for two more foundation-building cultivators.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Disciples' Hall one after another with their swords, and gathered with Su Chen and Sun Ruoxiang.

"I have met Senior Brother Ji, Brother Zhuang!"

"Junior Brother Su, I haven't seen you for several years. Your cultivation is progressing so fast that you're almost catching up with me!"

Everyone has seen each other.

Among the five of them, Ji Yuanzheng is the oldest and has the highest cultivation level. He built the foundation more than ten years ago and reached the third level of the foundation building stage five years ago.

Su Chen has just entered the third level of the foundation building stage.

The other three were slightly inferior, all of them were the second floor of foundation building.

Deacon Zhou gave each of them a token of the Penglai Immortal Sect patrol envoy, so that they could keep it carefully and not lose it.

Zhuang Bufan noticed Su Chen's cultivation level and was shocked, "The third level of foundation building, the cultivation progress is so fast!"

He has realized that his cultivation has not been slow in the past few years. Two years ago, the second level of the foundation building stage was not far from the third level of the foundation building stage. Unexpectedly, Su Chen stepped into the third level of the foundation building stage one step ahead of him. This speed shocked him.

Moreover, the rich spiritual medicinal materials he had obtained in the underground cave were replaced with elixirs for cultivation, and at most they were used to build the foundation, which was almost exhausted. In the future, if he wanted to earn spirit stones to practice, he would definitely slow down.

Before leaving the mountain gate, Su Chen went to say goodbye to Anu and left her a few bottles of spirit gathering pills. These spirit pills can help her through the most difficult early stage of foundation building.

Anu was a little reluctant, but she had just entered the early stage of foundation building and needed to stay in the Immortal Sect to practice and improve her strength. She would not leave the mountain gate within five years.

This time he went down the mountain, from half a year to several years, and it shouldn't be too long.

Su Chen flew to the "Heavenly Chain Cold Bridge" at the exit of the Penglai Xianzong Mountain Gate.

The other four people were already waiting at the bridge.

Everyone passed through this cold bridge of more than ten miles, opened the guard formation with the immortal patrol token, passed through a misty cloud and smoke stone path, and left the Penglai Immortal Sect mountain gate.

The five foundation-building monks immediately felt an indescribable relaxation and comfort when they left the mountain gate.

In the Penglai Immortal Sect, one of the five major immortal sects in China, there are many Golden Elixirs and extremely strict rules and orders. The elders of the family and the predecessors of the Immortal Sect often express their destiny. Everything is in accordance with the rules and dare not pass the slightest. There is invisible pressure on them.

But after leaving the mountain gate, all these invisible pressures disappeared.

Even the serious senior brother Ji Yuanzheng showed a relaxed look.

"Wuqing Immortal City is a small fairy city, located in a corner of the bitter and cold north, and there are no precious cultivation resources. At most, it is a few evil cultivators or monsters that cause trouble. The five foundation-building cultivators must be able to capture it and can be handled in less than half a month. Why not visit the five great immortal sects afterwards? Take a walk and see the world!"

Ge Yun smiled.

"What's the fun of the five great immortal sects? They have to be restrained on their territory. It's better to go to the adventure place, which is thrilling and exciting!"

Sun Ruoxiang said hurriedly.

"Oh, where?"

Everyone was very interested and discussed the itinerary for this training. The Penglai Immortal Sect's mission naturally had to be completed, but it was rare to go down the mountain and do other things by the way.

"Senior Brother Ji, brothers and sisters. I have something to do and I will return within three days."

Su Chen suddenly bowed to them.

He has been away from his hometown for nearly thirteen years. This time he went down the mountain and went back to Zhouzhuang to visit his parents. Otherwise, he would miss this time and next time, he would not know when he would have the chance.

"Okay, the four of us will probably not go too fast. If you don't catch up with us in three days, you will meet directly in Wuqing Xiancheng."

Ji Yuanzheng nodded slightly, as if guessing what Su Chen was going to do, and advised: "Junior Brother Su, since you are already an immortal cultivator, it is better not to worry too much about the mortal world. Otherwise, you may be disappointed."

"Um!"

Su Chen nodded and said goodbye to the four people. After three days of appointment, he quickly headed west with his sword. After flying for half a day, he vigilantly searched around and saw that no one was following the four fields. Then he turned south and went to Wujun, a water town in Jiangnan.

Many people know that he is a casual cultivator, but no one knows where his hometown is.

The grievances of immortal cultivators rarely involve mortals.

But he had to be careful.

"blow!"

The foundation-building monk flew extremely fast on his sword, and a rainbow light passed through hundreds of feet of the sky.

In just one day, Su Chen flew into the territory of Wujun.

He stood on the flying sword and looked at the ground, but was shocked.

I saw that the rivers in Wujun were dry and desolate, with large areas of fertile fields dry and cracked, and some villages and towns were burning with fireworks.

He flew to Gusu County and barely saw the prosperous popularity in the county.

But in fact, it is much more depressed than before. The river channel is shallow, and many merchant ships and fishing boats are stranded in the river channel. Once the river transportation is broken, the city of Gusu will naturally be extremely depressed.

“This is a drought!”

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat and said intimately that something was wrong.

The water towns in Jiangnan have a large population, relying on the fields and water to make a living. The common people have already had a hard time on weekdays, and what they fear most are all kinds of disasters. Whether it is drought or floods, major events will happen and life will be devastated.

Su Chen collected his flying sword and flew into the countryside outside the city.

Then, he entered Gusu Fairy City and walked on the street.

Within a radius of hundreds of feet, the whispers and discussions of taverns, teahouses, wealthy tourists from the world, and civilians all entered his ears.

Su Chen's face turned pale as he listened to the many discussions.

The prefect of Zhao Juzhen was in charge of Wujun for five years and severely cracked down on the powerful people. A large number of refugees moved to Huating County to live and work in peace and prosperity for several short periods of time.

But he had already left office, and had a new prefect, and he swallowed up fertile land with the county magistrates from all over the country, and Wu County became a mess again.

The magistrate of Gusu County, Wang Hengtong, resigned and replaced him with a new magistrate, but he was still from the Wang family. The Wang family has too deep roots in Wu County, and the family has more than ten thousand acres of fertile land, and it can be called the number one powerful family.

Wu County has been drought for two consecutive years. In recent years, there have been more than 100,000 refugees in the county. The White Lotus Sect suddenly started to storm, sweeping away 100,000 refugees, attacking several county towns, and robbing food.

The White Lotus Sect captured the Jiaxing County where the Wangshi family was located in one fell swoop. The Wang Hengtong Wang family was hung to death on the top of the city. The once powerful Wujun family was destroyed overnight. Only a few Wang disciples were not in Jiaxing and were able to escape.

There are countless other powerful clans destroyed by the White Lotus Sect.

Just as Zhao Juzhen said back then, he would not survive if he did not destroy the powerful Wu County, and the powerful would eventually die at their own hands.

For a time, wars broke out in Wu County. Although Gusu County had not been attacked, the county was already panicked and in chaos.

There is a rumor in the market that the granary of the government in Gusu County was empty. Seeing that there was no food, the drought was not over, and the days ahead were extremely difficult.

The four major gangs in Wujun are also difficult to live.

Grandmaster Li Shuo of the Horse Gang has left and gone to the battlefield of the Western Regions. Without the leader of the Grandmaster Gang, the new leader is powerless, and the horse Gang has no choice but to be able to do so in recent years.

Sun Baihong, the Medicine King of the Medicine King, is still there, but he is nearly ninety years old and has long been ignored in his assistance. The Medicine King of the Medicine King of the People has no successor, and he has been fighting for the position of the gang leader and has declined sharply.

The leader of the Iron Sword Sect, Han Pingshan, died more than ten years ago. The young master ascended the throne, but he could not support his presence and declined day by day.

Only the leader of the Tianying Sect, Han Jiang, is still young.

However, he was burned by a fireball when he fought in Beiludang. His injuries continued to occur over the years and had been tortured by fire poison for more than ten years and was almost inhumane.

Although the fire talisman of Hanshan Zhenren did not burn this generation of master to death, it left cruel fire poison, which was completely eliminated with true energy.

The only one generation of master left in the four major gangs of Wujun is left. Now it is difficult to protect itself and one arm cannot support it. I can only watch the White Lotus Sect burning all over Wujun in full swing over the years, but there is no power to resist.

Facing the threat of the White Lotus Sect, the four major gangs had to gather all their troops and work together to retreat to Gusu County to preserve this important territory in Wu County.

However, with the joint efforts of the four major gangs, they could only barely protect Gusu County and not be affected by more than 100,000 refugees in the White Lotus Sect.

Su Chen walked through the streets of Gusu County, less than a stick of incense, and listened to the public's discussion, he knew the situation of the entire Wu County.

He already understood what happened in Wu County over the years.
