Dark clouds gathered above the rolling river, and the rain that had lasted for a month finally stopped.

Jiang Kingdom is a mortal kingdom thousands of miles away and very remote in the center of Zhongzhou.
Here, there are very few stories about immortals, and those who have attained enlightenment mostly stay away from the world. In some remote places, those who practice Taoism are even regarded as rumors.
The largest immortal cultivation force is Shuiyuewu, which is best at illusion. The leader of the sect is only at the Nascent Soul stage, which is insignificant compared to Central China.
On the contrary, the martial arts world is prosperous, and there are many sects in the mortal world. They have been fighting for their own interests for thousands of years, and the bloody storm has never stopped.
But in the eyes of old man Yinghuan, this is just a group of ants playing house.
Before this, he had never thought that he would visit a mortal power——
According to the rumors in this mortal world, this mysterious and powerful force is called Chiyu Villa.
"Alas, my Xuanwu lineage has fallen to this point."
The old man sighed deeply, expressed regret, and walked into the town at the foot of the mountain, leaning on his double-snake staff.
The villa relies on the town at the foot of the mountain for supplies, and the villa provides shelter for the town, which is a mutually beneficial relationship.
Although this town is small, it has everything. This bluestone road seems to be endless.
After walking for a while, old man Yinghuan suddenly came to his senses and his face changed drastically. How long had he been walking?
When he looked up, he found himself in front of a mansion.
There was a plaque with the words "Xie Mansion" hanging on the gate of the house, and there was an ordinary guard at the door.
Old man Yinghuan was shocked.
The guard opened the door and said in a serious tone, "My master wants to see you."
Chapter 345: Your brother Jun Xuan has agreed to come back!
The guard looked ordinary, and the mansion looked equally ordinary.
But old man Yinghuan froze in place for a moment.
His eyes moved from the steps in front of him to the open door, and then to the young guard.
The guard was dressed in a grey guard uniform, with his hair tied up and holding a long iron stick in his hand. He looked extremely ordinary, as if he was just a minor character that ordinary people would not even take a second look at if they passed by him.
After he opened the door, he maintained the "please" gesture without the slightest hesitation, showing great professionalism.
To anyone, he is just an ordinary security guard who is loyal to his duty. There is nothing special about him. Not to mention immortal cultivators, even in the eyes of ordinary people, he would be classified as someone who "will be dealt with in a few moves if someone comes to his door."
Compared with the old man Yinghuan who has experienced countless years and has great supernatural powers.
Just based on momentum and appearance, he has already lost.
However, in front of these guards who looked like ordinary people, old man Yinghuan, who was almost a god to mortals, showed a look of shock and solemnity.
The old man, leaning on his double-snake cane, slowly walked up the stairs, but did not go in.
He walked up to the guard and stopped.
"Excuse me."
Elder Yinghuan's voice trembled, and his hands were shaking: "Are you, are you the White Tiger Lord?"
The guard kept the "please" gesture, was stunned, and then scratched his head, wondering how a doorman could have so many things to do. Wasn't this man the master's guest? Why was he asked?
Oh no, is he here to cause trouble like that guy named Liu Yuan last time? !
He became alert.
But then I thought, this was the first time this old man came to my house, and he wouldn't be here to take revenge because someone made fun of him.
Maybe I recognized the wrong person?
The guard shook his head and said cautiously: "I don't know who the White Tiger Lord is. My name is Shaoying, and I'm just the gatekeeper of Xie Mansion."
Elder Yinghuan took a deep breath and murmured to himself: "Shaoying..."
Shaoying, Shaoyin.
Shaoyin in the west is where the sun and the moon enter.
The direction of the White Tiger is exactly the west!
Did the saint take this into consideration when naming the White Tiger's descendants?
As for the identity of the guard in front of him, Elder Yinghuan did not have the slightest doubt.
He is a former member of the Four Symbols and has been following the Black Tortoise God almost since the birth of the Four Symbols. He is a genuine loyal and loyal old minister. If he cannot even recognize the White Tiger God in person, he can commit suicide to apologize.
What's more, everyone knows that the descendants of the White Tiger were taken away by that saint to be guards.
Who else could have trapped Elder Yinghuan, who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, into a maze quietly and changed its direction without him knowing it, except for the only Mahayana saint in the legend?
But didn't they say that person had sealed himself off and cultivated himself? !
How could one do such a horrific thing so lightly?
Humans, no matter how advanced or shallow their cultivation is, no matter how high or low their status is, are indeed very good at deceiving others...
This thought popped up in old man Yinghuan's mind, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
"The master has been waiting for a long time, do you want to come in?" Shaoying said dissatisfiedly, "When the master gets angry, he is very scary."
Elder Yinghuan shuddered and said quickly, "Come in, come in, I'll go in right away."
Shaoying pointed to the mansion and said, "Look, do you see the road there? Go in and turn right, then turn left, walk through two houses, and you will see a pond. There is a pavilion in the middle of the pond, and the master will be waiting for you there."
This guest is not yet worthy of being brought in.
So he just pointed the way.
A few months ago, when Liu Yuan came, it was Shaoying who personally brought him to Xie Qian.
The gap in status is obvious.
Of course, Old Man Yinghuan didn’t know all this. He bowed and thanked him, then walked into Xie’s house with a feeling of excitement and uneasiness.
Following Shaoying's instructions, they soon found the pavilion.
In the pavilion, a refined, easy-going and handsome middle-aged man was sitting in front of a low table playing the zither, with the scent of burning incense and the sound of the zither wafting in the air.
The wind swayed the lotus leaves and blew up the calligraphy and paintings hanging around the pavilion.
"Zheng——"
The middle-aged man stopped playing the piano and looked up at old man Yinghuan.
When old man Yinghuan saw the appearance of the middle-aged man in the pavilion, his whole body was shocked and he stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"Greetings, thank you Saint!"
The person in the pavilion is naturally Xie Qian.
He slowly stood up, bowed in return, and said with a faint smile: "Long time no see, Senior Chen."
Elder Yinghuan's lips trembled: "I don't deserve to be called a senior..."
Considering Xie Qian's age and qualifications, it is indeed okay to call him senior.
If we go back a few thousand years, Xie Qian at that time did call Elder Yinghuan "senior", but now, he would not dare to accept this title.
He is the only human saint in the Mahayana stage who has not yet ascended to the heavens. He saved the country from disaster. Now, most of the cultivation techniques of the immortal sects have been improved by him. He can be called the master of the world.
If he had not single-handedly repelled the first wave of demons, it would be hard to imagine what the world would be like today.
All living beings in the world should be grateful for his kindness.
"What's there to be ashamed of? I'm just a mortal now." Xie Qian shook his head and smiled.
Who believes it!
Old man Yinghuan was secretly complaining in his heart.
This guy's bad temper is so bad that it is tied to his name and everyone knows it.
He had reason to believe that if his attitude just now had not been very good, he would have been humiliated by now.
Still a mortal?
Is there anyone like you who can manipulate a mortal in the Tribulation Crossing Stage at will? !
Of course, on the surface, Elder Yinghuan naturally laughed twice and said, "The title of Saint is respected by all living beings in the world. It is not up to me alone to decide. As long as you, Saint Xie, are still in this Upper Central Realm, no matter if you are a mortal or not, you are and will always be Saint Xie."
"It's just an empty reputation." Xie Qian plucked the strings of his zither, looked at Elder Ying Huan, and asked, "Why did you come here today?"
Old Man Yinghuan was suddenly startled, thinking that he came here for the descendants of Xuanwu, but since Xie Qian was here, he must know that the descendants of Xuanwu were here.
Could it be that he wants to accept the descendants of Xuanwu as his disciples?
Elder Yinghuan said cautiously, "It's for the descendants of Xuanwu. I calculated that the descendants of Xuanwu are here, and I want to try to see if I can restore Xuanwu to his place."
"But since the Saint is here, he must have his own plans, so I won't interfere..."
Xie Qian smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you anymore."
Old man Yinghuan was stunned.
Xie Qian continued, "Do you see the manor on the mountain? There's a little girl named Gu Siyin in there. She's the one you're looking for."
Elder Yinghuan suddenly understood something—the saint was here not to stop him, because Xie Qian was waiting for him!
Xie Qian smiled and said, "Among the four spirits, only the Black Tortoise is the easiest to cut off its inheritance. But in order not to ascend, I must hide myself in the mortal world and cut myself off from the cause and effect of the underworld. I must not take action too much. Now that you are here, I can rest assured."
He paused and added: "But when you see Gu Siyin, remember to tell her that your brother Jun Xuan has agreed to this matter."
When old man Yinghuan walked to the gate of the villa, he was still thinking about Xie Qian's last smile.
Why do I always feel that... No, no, no, how could a saint cheat people?
Chapter 346: Master, please marry Ling Yao to me
But... this "Brother Jun Xuan" must be a very important person to Gu Siyin, right?
Old man Yinghuan was suddenly stunned.
Junxuan? Liu Junxuan?
Isn’t this the person who played an extremely important role in the series of events that have become famous and caused a lot of controversy in recent times?
The Taoist Master also seemed to be very concerned about him...
Why does it feel like he's everywhere?
Elder Yinghuan vaguely felt that there was something more to this. He was also a man who had experienced countless eras. This situation basically meant that this person was most likely the son of destiny of this era!
In every turbulent era, there will always be a few extremely dazzling people. Such people, with the good fortune of heaven, will ultimately have a huge impact on this era.
——For example, a group of people represented by Xie Qian and Ding Huan in the last era.
He secretly noted down the name and decided to pay attention to it later.
When old man Yinghuan walked into Chiyu Villa.
In Xie Mansion at the foot of the mountain.
The guard who had been stationed at the gate of Xie's mansion all year round was called into the mansion by his master.
Shaoying said respectfully, "Master."
Xie Qian pulled out a congratulatory note from under the guqin, handed it over, and said with a faint smile: "Go to Yuxu Dao Sect for me to congratulate the new headmaster on taking office."
Shaoying was stunned. The master had not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time. Why did he suddenly send him out?
And... the Yuxu Taoist sect should not have changed its leader yet, right?
But he always obeyed his master's orders, so he didn't ask why. He took it and nodded, "Yes."
Xie Qian then instructed amiably: "The road is dangerous, remember to walk slowly, and it is best to use the prototype, which is more deterrent and safer."
"Yes!"
Shaoying nodded, feeling deeply moved.
The master really does care about him. He has been looking after the house for so many years, and even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. Look, he even takes careful care of his safety.
