Chapter 336: Zhu Que Bridge, Taiyin Proper Position

~15 min read 2,814 words

Looking at his grandnephew, from whom he had the highest expectations, still staring at that shallow footprint, Wang Rong opened his mouth and whispered: "Your Grandfather Yan has extremely high expectations for you. Even if his words were reckless, he just hated that person's domineering. Now that you are back, you can go see him!"

"He hasn't been out for several days!"

Wang Longxiang lowered his head: "Okay..."

Wang Dun also came. He stood by and said: "Longxiang must not underestimate this person, he still has some ways. However, his qin, knife, umbrella, sword, and even supernatural powers and magic spells, and the monsters he carries have all been seen through by the eldest brother. These few days, I have found you a few magic treasures and supernatural powers, you should familiarize yourself with them."

Wang Longxiang frowned slightly, but still did not open his mouth to refute anything. He just nodded slightly.

Wang Dun showed a hopeful smile and said: "In this way, Longxiang will definitely win this battle, I am just afraid that your temperament will flare up and you will have to..."

"Wang Dun!" Wang Rong shouted sternly.

Wang Dun smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth, not saying a word.

Wang Longxiang turned back and said: "When?"

Wang Rong's voice calmed down, and he said nicely: "You rest for two days first! I will send a post to Princess Qingcheng."

Wang Longxiang raised his head in confusion. Wang Rong persuaded: "This time is different from the past, you cannot follow your temperament. You blocked the Princess's mansion once, and your Grandfather Yan was beaten by the Master's people until he vomited blood. If you block it a second time, I fear Yifu won't have a second chance!"

Wang Rong whispered: "Moreover, His Majesty's side, I don't know why he is also a bit concerned about this battle, and still sent people to ask when he was seriously ill. The news of your return has been making a lot of noise these few days, and the undercurrents in Jiankang are surging, so this battle, our Wang family must win beautifully."

"At that time, many people will come, you just pretend they can't see it!"

Wang Rong had always known the temperament of this grandnephew.

The world says that Wang Longxiang has an arrogant temperament. Even if he challenges opponents with his sword, he simply goes to find people, and then starts to take action after a few words, breaking the opponent's protective magic treasure with a few swords, and then the person is defeated.

But who knows, in fact, he just doesn't like talking to people, and doesn't like occasions with many people?

"Hmm!"

Wang Longxiang began to lower his head to find the sword tip. Without the cold light of the sword tip to stare at, he lowered his head to look at his toes.

Wang Rong could only call someone over, lowered his head to write a post, and said to the servant: "Send it to Princess Qingcheng's mansion!"

The person lowered his head, responded, and left.

When Qian Chen finished his homework and came out of the quiet room, he saw the old servant waiting at the door of the Sword Collection Pavilion. Seeing him come out, he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Little Daoist, people from the Wang family are here!"

When the Wang family's servant was waiting respectfully at the gate of Si Qingcheng's manor, even the nearby aristocratic children were secretly hiding in the alleys on both sides to peek.

At this time, everyone remembered the previous matter of Wang Yan being humiliated by someone at a banquet not long ago. Some people even thought of the previous matter of Wang Longxiang blocking the door here a year ago.

The servant of the Wang family who came with the visiting post bowed slightly to Si Qingcheng and Qian Chen who had just arrived in the inner hall, and said loudly: "Princess, Qian Jun, my master specifically ordered me to send a letter here!"

Qian Chen wanted to take it, but heard the Wang family servant say: "Qian Jun, wait a moment, this letter is for my master to ask me to hand it to the Sixteenth Princess personally. He explained it carefully, and I dare not give it to anyone else."

Si Qingcheng frowned slightly, already a bit angry.

She took the letter and opened it, only to see that in the letter, Wang Rong first talked about the previous old affairs, saying that Wang Yan was just one person's opinion, offending the Princess, and it was indeed an offense. This matter was Wang Yan's slip of the tongue first, and it should not have been entangled further.

But the Princess sent someone to humiliate Wang Yan at the banquet, and the matter already involved the reputation of the Wang family."

Therefore, the Wang family had to take action to maintain their own reputation.

Therefore, Wang Longxiang, a junior of the Wang family, came forward to invite the Daoist Qian who took action that day to fight in a chosen place. Qian Chen would set the time and place, and Wang Longxiang would come to the appointment.

After the victory or defeat was divided, the Wang family would not make other requests, just let Qian Chen abandon his sword and leave Jiankang...

Si Qingcheng snorted and turned to Qian Chen: "What a Wang Rong, one set in front, another behind. Senior Brother, do you want to set the time and place for the magic battle?"

Although Qian Chen felt a bit strange, it didn't look like Wang Rong's handwriting, but he was not familiar with the people in the aristocrats.

So he took the letter and added two strokes on the letter paper, handed it to the servant and said: "Then set it three days later, at the time when the moon rises, on the Zhu Que Bridge, I will wait for Wang Longxiang to come to the appointment!"

……………

The reason for waiting for three days was that that day was exactly the fourteenth of August, and the next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, the bright moon would be full and hanging high, the power of Taiyin would be the strongest, and the Taiyin at Xuanwu Lake would take its position, suppressing Shaoyin.

In the case that Qian Chen could not move hands and feet in the Imperial City's seals, borrowing Taiyin to suppress Shaoyin could borrow the timing to control the town-city formation of Jiankang to the greatest extent.

After the Wang family servant left the manor, he went straight to the Wang family to report.

The interested people on the road looked sideways one after another. Yuan Hao and the others were among these interested people. He looked at the back of the Wang family servant and heard Luo Tong whisper beside him: "Wang Longxiang has challenged Elder Yu Chen Daoist, who do you think will win?"

Du Xiuniang pondered: "In the Battle of Intercepting the River, Elder Yu Chen Daoist was unfathomable."

"But Wang Longxiang bears the world's fame, how can he be underestimated? The two of them fight, I really can't guess!"

Luo Tong laughed and said: "But in this Jiankang City, ten out of nine people are more optimistic about Wang Longxiang, and..."

He looked around quietly and whispered: "I also heard a piece of news, saying that Wang Rong of the Wang family went to hold him accountable in advance. Even if Elder Yu Chen Daoist didn't suffer, Wang Rong bears the divine eye, I'm afraid he has already glimpsed seven or eight points of Elder Yu Chen Daoist's bottom line. Think about it, giving the Wang family time to prepare... this winning percentage, shouldn't it increase greatly?"

Du Xiuniang's eyes flickered. No one knew the importance of intelligence better than samsara travelers.

If this was true, then the previous Elder Yu Chen Daoist, even if he had a 70% winning percentage, should only have 30% left now.

Yuan Hao also pondered: "Elder Yu Chen Daoist there, count as a spare piece first. Originally, if we want to take his line, we should try our best to get Wang Longxiang's intelligence to help him win."

"But this kind of task is too dangerous!"

"We now have the line of the Northern Wei envoy, so we don't need to take such risks... Xiuniang, what have you found out about the nephew of the Northern Wei envoy who was snatched by samsara travelers?"

Du Xiuniang said: "This matter happened three years ago. I found the attendants who accompanied Li Chong and described Li Er's appearance. At that time, he should have just reached adulthood and was building the foundation. Now he is only seventeen years old, and his appearance shouldn't have changed much..."

She opened a scroll, which was the appearance of Li Er she drew herself. Hearing what the family general said, it was about 70-80% similar.

"Why does it feel familiar?" Luo Tong frowned, but he couldn't think of where it was familiar.

Yuan Hao said: "We still have a few pieces of clothing in our hands. He Fan's previous calculation failed. It may be that Li Er has means left by samsara travelers to cover up the heavenly secrets. But it is enough for us to be familiar with Li Er's aura. I have a feeling that since this side task is related to the main task, then Li Er should be in Jiankang!"

The Gold and Silver Boys stood on the eaves of a pavilion not far away, sucking their fingers and watching them.

Through the eyes of the Gold and Silver Boys, Qian Chen sensed that the letter with a trace of his own handwriting aura had been transferred to another person hiding in the river with escape techniques from the moment the Wang family servant passed Zhang Gong Bridge.

That letter changed hands again and came to a person with faint demonic qi. He read the letter a few times, extracted Qian Chen's handwriting from it, and changed it to another letter.

That one was Wang Rong's original brush.

When Qian Chen's handwriting penetrated the paper, the tip of the pen turned into sword light and stabbed that person. The person with faint demonic qi groaned, endured the severe pain, sealed the letter paper, and handed it to another person to change it back.

If it weren't for Qian Chen trying his best to restrain the sword qi between the lines, the tip of the pen that sensed his aura would have long ago gathered into sword qi and pierced his skull.

"The Wang family is not clean either! How can there be demonic cubs' business."

Qian Chen saw the samsara travelers, the few excited aristocratic children, the eunuchs carrying the national destiny of Great Jin, and the loose cultivators under the hands of the Sima family's clan sons through the Gold and Silver Boys.

Even in this small matter of sending a letter, there were people moving hands and feet in it.

It can be seen that this magic battle three days later will never be quiet.

…………

Near the day of the appointment, Qian Chen went to Xuanwu Lake to check the formation setup. On the way from the small pier behind White Deer Hall to Xuanwu Lake via the Qin Huai River, someone suddenly landed on the boat.

Although it was autumn, the man was still shaking a folding fan, turned his back to Qian Chen and said: "Do you know that seven days ago, a cultivator from Longhu Mountain proficient in the Five Thunders Orthodox Law went to the Wang family specifically to restrain your qin sound?"

Qian Chen raised his head calmly. It was just a magic battle, how could these people play so many tricks?

"In those few battles down the river, you indeed have some skills. It's not in vain that Zhu Wuchang, who has no brains, would think you are the Guanghan Feng Xianzi of this generation?"

"Think what?" Qian Chen suddenly heard this and his face showed extreme confusion.

"Haha... but you won't be the Guanghan Feng Xianzi of this generation."

That person seemed to hold some important secret about Qian Chen, and said with full posture: "These few days are enough for the Wang family to find various means to deal with you!"

"Do you know that they borrowed the Wind and Thunder Rush from the Xiao family, a perfect magic treasure specifically to restrain all kinds of divine thunders; and found a magic spell specifically to break the protective gang qi, and invited a magic treasure from the Wang family that can emit Central Earth Divine Light to deal with your Qian Sima Sima Tianyi Qi Clear Gang."

"With the characteristics of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of clear and turbid qi, it is enough to entangle your umbrella-made magic treasure."

"And that big hand you used to suppress Wang Yan is the ancient supernatural power Innate One Qi Great Capture, right!"

That person smiled slightly, seemingly expecting Qian Chen's solemnity and hesitation next.

But when he turned back, he only saw Qian Chen's face very calm and indifferent.

He couldn't help but be surprised: "You also have some Daoist practice of nourishing qi, but now only calm qi is useless. If you don't know Wang Longxiang's means and are occupied by him, even if your cultivation is stronger than his, you won't have much chance of winning!"

"Who are you?" Qian Chen asked curiously: "Suddenly running to tell me these things, what is your intention?"

"Hehe..." The visitor stood with his hands behind his back: "I am Qin Chuan."

Qian Chen was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. The man turned back suddenly and stared at Qian Chen: "You wouldn't even know me!"

"Cough cough!" Qian Chen coughed a few times to help him cover up the embarrassment.

"The twenty-eight characters of the Shenzhou, not only have aristocratic people, but also immortal sect talents. I am one of the twenty-eight characters of the Shenzhou of this generation—the true disciple of the Yunxiao Palace—Qin Chuan." Qin Chuan said proudly: "Wang Longxiang is the head of the aristocrats, and I am the head of the immortal sect true disciples. We are enemies of fate."

"Hearing that he made an appointment to fight with someone, I came to point you out!"

Qian Chen frowned slightly: "But... aren't eight or nine out of ten of the twenty-eight characters of the Shenzhou of this generation aristocratic children?"

Qin Chuan almost fell off the small boat. He almost questioned: "You don't know my name, you know this?"

But just as when he reported his family, he didn't say the evaluation of the eight characters, he also knew that it was really losing face, so he bit his teeth and snorted coldly: "Relying on family background, high-ranking people, most of them are just mediocre people."

"Only a few people like Wang Longxiang can enter my eyes, what is the use of more others?"

"I see that you are not an aristocratic person, but you are calculated by the Wang family relying on family power, so I came to share with you. Who would have thought that you are so arrogant... hum!" Qin Chuan looked like he was looking at an A Dou who couldn't be helped, and flicked his sleeves.

Qian Chen smiled slightly, counting as accepting the favor.

But he also stood up, faced the Qin Huai with his hands behind his back, counting as a demonstration for this immortal sect true disciple who failed to pretend to be forced repeatedly, and said lightly: "If in a few days, the magic treasures found and the supernatural powers practiced can break my hard work of accumulation."

"Then what is the use of my cultivation of this Daoist practice and the supernatural powers I have practiced?"

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly: "Arrogant person!"

After saying this, he raised his sword light and turned to leave.

After he left, Qian Chen stood quietly at the bow of the boat for a while, sighing in his heart: "I, Qian Chen, have been cautious all my life... I only think deeper than you! After I finish setting up, even if the whole Wang family comes out to kill me, I have a way to deal with it!"

After reading, he continued to sail, measuring the Four Symbols Zhou Tian Formation.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed, August 14th, and it arrived in a moment. Today, the news of Wang Longxiang's appointment to fight Elder Yu Chen Daoist spread all over the city. Everyone just waited for sunset, and then they would flock to both sides of the Zhu Que Bridge to watch this magic battle. ===== CHAPTER 337 =====
