Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 44: Awakening
Zhangjianxuan.
This is the courtyard specially arranged by the Wei Mansion for Tang Jie for his daily life. Although Tang Jie lived with the two elders of the Wu family most of the time, the Wei Mansion still prepared this place for him.
In Zheng Shufeng’s words: “The Wei family is also your home.”
In front of the flower pond in front of Zhanjian Xuan, Tang Jie stood with his hands behind his hands, watching a group of golden carp playing in the flower pond, fighting for the bait he had sprinkled, and said in a cold voice: "haven't you found it yet?" .
A servant stood behind Tang Jie with his hands solemn and replied: "More than thirty people have been sent..."
Tang Jie interrupted: "If you can't find thirty people, then send three hundred people. If you can't find three hundred people, then send three thousand people. Or maybe you think I'm not a master, so you can do whatever you want." Find a few people to take care of the errands! And I said that I would ask Master Lu and others to take care of it, so why don’t I see them dispatched?"
The servant was startled, took a few steps back and shouted: "Master, calm down, I will send more people now."
"Then stop talking nonsense and do it immediately. If you have any expenditures, please go out of the office first. Then ask Master Lu and others to go out quickly and get the things done first! Useless trash!" The one who spoke was Wei Tianchong, he and Shi Meng were walking from outside.
The servant was scolded by him and retreated hastily.
Wei Tianchong came over and comforted Tang Jie: "Tang Jie, don't worry, Xiaohu will be fine."
Tang Jie sighed: "How can I not be in a hurry? Logically, they should have arrived long ago. Now that our affairs are over, they haven't come back yet. A few days... there are too many possibilities."
Because he had to deal with strong men like Wang Juemie and Shi Jingzhai, Tang Jie had to put all his efforts into taking care of Xi Canhen and the others and leave it to the servants of the Wei Mansion, the industry spiritual masters. Yongsui Mountain is vast, and even if a cultivator wants to find people, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, so it is better to use the material resources of the Wei Mansion and take advantage of the large number of people to find Xi Canhen and Xiaohu. If there is danger, the spiritual masters hired by the Wei Mansion should be able to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, when he came back and asked, he found out that the Wei Mansion had only sent more than thirty people, and none of the spiritual masters had moved. Tang Jie immediately became furious.
Wei Tianchong was also a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "This is all my father's fault. Something happened to the Gu family, and some casinos and **** agencies need to be given away. The price is not high. My father thinks it is an opportunity, but it requires manpower and labor to win it. When it comes to money, dad goes to transfer money and people. Too much money is involved, so the spiritual masters have to follow dad, and the servants are even more concerned about the master's expenses, but they delay your affairs."
"Then the master doesn't know that I want to employ people?".
Wei Tianchong showed embarrassment on his face: "Of course he knows. But..."
Tang Jie already understood: "But the Wei family is his Wei Danbai's Wei family, not my Tang Jie's Wei family, right?".
Wei Tianchong said helplessly: "He didn't say that, he just said that he is just a little follower and a beast, not worth the effort..."
Wei Danbai did not underestimate Tang Jie's value, but he obviously underestimated the status of Xi Canhen and Bao'er in Tang Jie's eyes, especially Bao'er. He didn't understand how much Bao'er valued Tang Jie at all. important.
But this still doesn’t make Tang Jie forgive Wei Danbai!
If Zheng Shufeng handled this matter, she might also despise Xi Canhen and Bao'er, but she would never despise Tang Jie's request. However, Zheng Shufeng's mother was ill a few days ago, so Zheng Shufeng returned to her parents' home to be with her mother. Wei Danbai now has the final say in all matters concerning the Wei Mansion, which led to this incident.
At this moment, Wei Tianchong said again: "I have already told dad that I will follow you this time. I didn't do anything, and I made five or six million soul coins. Daddy was frightened when he knew that there was so much money. , and I regret it very much."
"But it's still too late, right?". Tang Jie replied coldly.
Wei Tianchong looked at Tang Jie nervously: "Tang Jie, if the little tiger is really... I mean if it is really... dead... you won't hold grudges against our Wei family because of this, right? ”
Hearing this, Tang Jie looked at Wei Tianchong.
He didn't say a word, but Wei Tianchong's scalp felt numb for a while.
Then Tang Jie suddenly smiled: "How could it be? You don't have Tianxin yet. I am still a member of the Wei family, and I still have to frighten everyone and suppress Xiaoxiao for the Wei family."
The following eight words made Wei Tianchong's heart tighten.
These eight words can be said to be the greatest role of a cultivator in the family, just like the role of the army in the country.
However, when Tang Jie spat out these eight words one by one, Wei Tianchong still felt the cold murderous aura.
This frightened him so much that he grabbed Tang Jie's hand and said, "No matter what, Tang Jie, you can't do anything to my father!"
"The young master is joking." Tang Jie calmly withdrew his hand and said, "Don't worry, I promise you that I will never cause any harm to the head of the Wei family."
Wei Tianchong nodded: "I know, and I also believe that with your personality, you should not hurt my father. But..."
He looked at Tang Jie with some confusion: "Why do I feel uneasy when I look at your face?"
Tang Jie still looked indifferent: "That may be because your father is the first person who has caused harm to me in a real sense since I cultivated immortality."
This time, he did not use the title of head of the family.
——————————
The search manpower sent by the Wei Mansion has skyrocketed from 30 to 2,500. If there are not so many people, just invite or hire them. As long as you are willing to spend money, there will always be people. All the spiritual masters in the Wei Mansion are more It was a collective mission, and Tang Jie himself, Wei Tianchong, Shi Meng and the others were also searching together.
A large number of manpower was dispatched in the Yongsui Mountain area, searching all over the mountains and plains, combing through the vast mountainous area like a grate. After several days of searching, the good news finally came.
"The boy was found!"
As the news came, the crowd who had been working hard for many days simultaneously cheered excitedly.
Xi Canhen was found by a mountain spring. When he was found, his whole body was covered with scars and he was already dying.
When Tang Jie arrived, he couldn't help but be shocked by his injuries.
The delay of time caused many wounds all over his body to be eroded, his ribs were broken and he could not walk, and his internal organs were damaged and he kept coughing up blood. But even so, he still climbed down from the mountain by himself, with the blood trail behind him. To the top of the mountain.
This young man's vitality was shocking, so much so that what really brought him to the brink of death was not the horrific injuries, but hunger.
He hasn't eaten for several days.
When Tang Jie arrived, the boy was munching on food. Those injuries did not seem to affect his eating at all.
When Tang Jie appeared in front of him like that, he was startled for a moment, then stopped what he was doing and looked at Tang Jie.
Suddenly he threw away the dry food, lay on the ground and shouted to Tang Jie: "Master, I'm sorry for you! The little tiger is missing and I can't find it!"
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Tang Jie felt dizzy.
Finally, is this the news?
Listening to Xi Canhen's narration, the tragic battle scene that day gradually emerged in front of Tang Jie's eyes.
He did not expect that Xiaohu would fight so hard to save Xi Canhen.
According to Xi Canhen, at the last moment, the tiger pierced Xie Yu's head, and his wings were torn off, making him unable to fly. He was probably the fate of falling to his death from a cliff.
After Xiaohu fell off the cliff, Xi Canhen gritted his teeth and climbed all the way down the mountain, hoping to find Xiaohu.
It's a pity that he couldn't find Xiaohu after all. Instead, he was allowed to live until now because of the nearby mountain spring. If he had stayed in the mountain, he would probably be a dead body by now.
At the end, Xi Canhen also burst into tears.
Tang Jie touched his head and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me to find Xiaohu. You can have a good rest."
"Master, do you think Bao'er can..." Xi Canhen looked at Tang Jie with tears in her eyes.
Tang Jie said calmly: "No, it won't. Bao'er is of noble birth, has strong blood, and very strong vitality. He won't die so easily."
"That's good." After Xi Canhen said this, he tilted his head and fell asleep.
These days, he has been relying on his energy to support himself. Now that he is relieved, he can no longer support himself.
Tang Jie looked at Xi Canhen sleeping and said, "Shi Meng, I will leave Canhen's injury to you."
Shi Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry."
In these years, Shi Meng followed Tang Jie's advice and focused on providing logistical support. He also studied medicine very carefully. His medical skills were much better than those of Tang Jie. With him as the future immortal doctor in charge, Tang Jie could also manage it. Much more assured.
After arranging for Xi Canhen, Tang Jie flew directly to the cliff. According to Xi Canhen's words, he came to the location of their fierce battle, roughly estimated the direction where Xiaohu and Xie Yu would fall, and flew downwards.
When he flew below, he saw a dense forest, and Tang Jie used his piercing eye.
Over the past few days, he has continued to use this technique, and has become more and more proficient in it. With a wave of his hand, a spiritual eye automatically appears in the air, taking in all directions.
A moment later, Tang Jie saw a human corpse more than 400 meters away.
When I ran over and took a look, I saw that this man’s head was cracked and his muscles and bones were shattered. He was too dead to die anymore. He should be Xie Yu, but there was no Xiaohu beside him.
Looking around, Tang Jie saw a small river flowing in the distance.
Tang Jie couldn't help but frown. If the little tiger fell into the river, it would be difficult to find it if it went downstream. As for asking Yiyi to search through plants, this method is no longer effective because too much time has passed.
Thinking of this, he flew back to the crowd and ordered: "Everyone search all the way along the river without missing a single trace."
The large-scale search is once again in full swing.
However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find the little tiger, as if he had disappeared from this world.
The search lasted for many days, until Wei Danbai once again sent news that the money and manpower consumed to find Xiaohu had greatly exceeded the plan and could no longer be continued, and Wei Tianchong had to withdraw his people.
Before leaving, he apologized to Tang Jie, but Tang Jie didn't take it seriously and just said lightly: "In your father's eyes, a tiger is naturally not as good as the family's industry and tens of thousands of money. This It’s not that he is incompetent, but that the human vision is limited. Maybe you can tell him a story after you go back."
"What story?" Wei Tianchong was confused.
"There is a strange beast in the middle of Qixia, called the phantom fox. It is born psychic and unpredictable. If you capture it and make it loyal, it can be a good companion on the road. However, the fox is cunning and changeable, and often mixes with people. , difficult to catch. Three hundred years ago, a demon fox leaked its traces. A cultivator wanted to catch this fox, but could not chase it, and the demon fox transformed into a human being. In anger, the cultivator..."
Tang Jie raised his head and looked at Wei Tianchong.
Wei Tianchong was shocked: "How?"
Tang Jie said four cold words: "Set the city on fire."
Wei Tianchong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
At that moment he suddenly understood what Tang Jie meant.
In Wei Danbai's eyes, a tiger is certainly not worth the Wei family's sacrifice, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, a mere mortal family is nothing.
For a phantom fox, a cultivator can set fire to an entire city just to force it to appear.
Wei Danbai's mistake was a mistake in his vision. He had no idea that what he gave up was a monster that was ten thousand times nobler than a mortal like him in the eyes of cultivators, let alone the relationship they had been together for many years.
"It's no wonder." Tang Jie said lightly: "He is the head of the family. He always feels that he can control everything. Even us cultivators are still a member of the Wei family and his subordinates after all. No. You can exceed your authority, otherwise you will break the rules."
Wei Tianchong knew what he meant and sighed: "For many years, the spiritual master in the family has been polite to his father, getting along harmoniously with each other, and there is no discord, so that my father gradually forgot the majesty of the cultivator, and he may not have thought about it. Being superior to spiritual masters is just..."
Tang Jie responded calmly: "It's just that he thinks it's okay to be equals. It's just that he thinks the interests of the Wei family should always come first. It's just that he thinks he has done enough for me..."
Wei Tianchong was speechless.
Tang Jie patted him and said: "Go, no matter what, he is your father, you have to listen. However, Wei Danbai can mobilize you, but he can't force me to mobilize him, just let him I will continue to look for it myself."
Wei Tianchong heard that he even called out Wei Danbai, and knowing the anger in his heart, Wei Tianchong sighed, but in the end said nothing, turned around and left.
The Wei family members withdrew, leaving Tang Jie and Yi Yi behind, still searching in the mountains.
However, no matter how he searched, he could not find Xiaohu.
In the vast forest sea, the familiar figure could not be seen again, leaving Tang Jie wandering in the air, alone.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Wei Tianchong sent him a lot of news. Including that the goods have been delivered to the Xiyue Sect, everything has been completed. Wenxin's country was shocked, Xiyue was a sensation, and Tang Jie became famous again. However, your rewards have not yet been officially distributed, and they still have to go through evaluation, review, discussion, etc.
Although the 20% reward is a rule, there are times when the rules are broken, right? What's more, in addition to bounties, there are also contributions and promotions that must be calculated. In addition, matters concerning the unauthorized use of power must also be accounted for.
So Beicang Hanwu Xianguang, Peng Yaolong and the others are walking around, fighting for peace and contention. Before they can get the benefits, they have to spend a lot of money to go out. Now everyone is borrowing money and giving gifts. But knowing that they have a large reward to collect, this money is very easy to borrow. They didn't let Tang Jie take action, so they handled it all by themselves, which in turn allowed Tang Jie to take advantage of it.
Wei Tianchong also has to go back to Guanri Peak and ask Yan Changfeng for help. He has been doing well recently. He has been in the limelight following Tang Jie and has not lost the face of Guanri Peak. Yan Changfeng thinks that this disciple also It's pleasing to the eye. Before going back, Wei Danbai specifically asked Wei Tianchong to bring a large amount of money. He probably knew that he had made a mistake and wanted to make up for it. Wei Tianchong specially came to tell Tang Jie about this, saying that the money this time was jointly done in the name of the Wei family and Tang Jie, but Tang Jie just responded without comment.
When Wei Tianchong saw this, he could only sigh and leave.
After staying in Yongsui Mountain for another month, Tang Jie still gained nothing and finally left helplessly.
Before leaving, he looked at the mountainous area and murmured: "I believe you will not die, Bao'er. You are of noble birth and have strong blood. You will never die so easily... Maybe, you just need Time to recover. I'm waiting for you... waiting for you to come back!"
The river gurgled, meandering through large mountainous areas, through dense forests, and through mountains. Sometimes it would suddenly branch off into a branch and flow to other places, or to a small lake, or to connect with another river, and then Or directly enter the dark underground world.
In a corner of the distant mountains, an underground river is flowing peacefully, and all kinds of strange stalactites are growing in the caves beside the river.
Due to years of erosion, the ground below is flat. The tiger is now lying on the open space next to the river, with its torn wings spread flatly on it, like a quilt.
This sleep lasts for a hundred days!
During these hundred days, the little tiger remained motionless, with only the slight rise and fall of his body proving that he was still alive.
On this day, a saw-toothed sickle fish suddenly jumped up in the underground river and hit Xiaohu.
The moment he touched Xiaohu, a large area of bloody brilliance suddenly burst out from Xiaohu's body.
This kind of fierce fish in the water didn't even have a chance to jump, and it instantly turned into powder and flew away.
Then Xiaohu suddenly moved.
First there were a few claws, which shook slightly, and then the broken wings. I don’t know when they had grown back, and they opened slightly behind the little tiger, and then fell down.
Then the huge tiger body trembled.
As it trembled, thick white smoke came out of the tiger's nose.
Xiaohu's eyes slowly opened.
When he opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with wisdom.
The next moment it stood up like a human, and then suddenly said: "What a long dream!"
It actually started talking, which means that Bao'er has officially entered the enlightenment stage.
But the next moment, Baoer suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "What a long dream, I finally remembered..."
"I finally remembered..."
"I remembered..."
"Get up..."
The sound was like a huge bell and a huge wave, spreading over and over in the underground cave.
The next moment, Bao'er's expression suddenly turned angry.
This anger, like fire, suddenly burst out from the depths of its body and mind, forming a strong wave of energy that swept around.
"Ouch!"
It roared loudly, its angry roar like bursts of thunder.
"The Xiyue Sect!" it roared wildly, with blood flowing out of its tiger eyes: "How dare you treat my White Tiger clan like this, I will never let you go!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at his tiger claws.
It shook its head: "But now is not the time... I want to find my power... to find the long-lost power of my clan..."
"When that day~IndoMTL.com~ I will come back and come back to you."
It spoke in a deep voice.
Suddenly, its body shook.
"Tang Jie..." the name blurted out.
At that moment, countless images flashed through his mind, and Xiaohu's heart suddenly softened.
Yes, there is at least one person in Xiyue Sect who is really good to it.
"What a pity..." The tiger's eyes closed, and two **** tears fell down.
It murmured: "How can the kindness of one person be compared to the hatred of a clan, the love of nurturing, and the grace of getting out of trouble? I can only repay it in the next life. From today on, I will not be called Bao'er."
"My name...is Wang Yao!"
"Roar!"
