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 Tianxunjie 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 who was 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 hunting down the evildoers." Wang Xiuye felt a little emotional and felt a little guilty, saying, "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 travel three thousand miles a day even without the red lotus harness. Although Wang Xiuye's horse was slower, it could still travel 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.
This 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 Yamen of Xuanzhou County, 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 industries in the human world are mainly gems, jewelry, and medicinal materials. This happens to be the most prosperous industry in our Xuanzhou City, and 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 talked freely.
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 wants to be friends with him purely because he admires and admires him, then Zhou Heng may be very cautious and may 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 chief 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 branch chief of the Wang family in Xuanzhou.
"Okay." Wang Xiuye nodded and said to Zhou Heng: "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, we can only speed up our pace first. I will take you to visit Xuanzhou City another day."
"Okay." Zhou Heng nodded gently. He was not in a hurry anyway, but he was a little curious about what happened to the Wang family.
"This..." Xiao Tang hesitated when he heard this, lowered his voice, and said to Wang Xiuye: "Third Young Master, this is not good, this is the matter of our Wang family, there is an outsider..."
"Xiao Tang!" Wang Xiuye shouted, interrupting the boy's words, narrowing his eyes and saying in a deep voice: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"
In his impression, Xiao Tang always spoke in a low-brow manner and did not dare to say a word "no" at all. But today, Xiao Tang's attitude was very different from usual.
has a problem.
"Third Young Master, I, I am doing this for your own good." Xiao Tang said with an aggrieved face, "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 says, please come with me."
The identity of the collateral branch was a thorn in his heart.
It's not because he hates his collateral bloodline, nor does he have any grudge against his parents.
But because a family like the Wang family attaches great importance to bloodline orthodoxy, he has to work hundreds of times harder than the direct descendants of the main lineage in order to receive similar family treatment.
Even though he became famous at a young age, he was close to the top ten people on the list, and he was the most outstanding son of the younger generation of the Wang family in Xuanzhou.
But in fact, his treatment in the family is still not as good as that of the direct descendants of the orthodox main lineage, even if those direct descendants are not even in the top thirty.
Such injustice became a thorn in his heart.
Zhou Heng nodded and followed, but he became more and more curious about what happened to the Wang family now. How dare even a servant dare to touch Wang Xiuye's troubles.
"Is it possible that Wang Xiuye is so popular that he has overshadowed his direct lineage and is about to be suppressed?" Zhou Heng secretly guessed that this was not impossible.
The family is not a sect.
It’s not necessarily survival of the fittest.
In aristocratic families, the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is an eternal theme.
The sovereignty of the direct lineage and the authority of the main line cannot be challenged.
As a concubine, never think of overstepping your bounds.
What's more, although the top twenty people on the list can be called geniuses, they can't be called outstanding. Whether they can finally reach the secret sixth level is actually unknown.
For the Xuanzhou Wang family, which has been inherited for nearly four thousand years, it is not that important to have one more genius or one less.
Now Wang Xiuye is in the limelight, surpassing the younger generation of the main lineage.
It is indeed possible to be suppressed.
…
Xiao Tang walked in front and led the way.
Zhou Heng and Wang Xiuye led their horses behind, neither of them speaking.
But Zhou Heng was using his extremely strong sense of perception to listen to the discussions of passers-by on the street, trying to find some clues to the changes in the Wang family.
"Hey, have you seen before that a very grand young man went to the Wang family's mansion?"
"I saw it, I saw it. That young master is so good-looking. The scene is really grand. Sixteen people are carrying the golden chariot. It shines in the sun. It's so dazzling that it's as if the sun has fallen."
"There are actually sixteen people carrying the chariot. I didn't even notice. I just looked at the accompanying maids. They are all very beautiful. There are probably more than thirty. I am so envious."
"What are you envious of? Do you also want to have more than thirty maids? I am so angry that I will go home and kneel on the washboard! Oh my God, you are the opposite!"
"I, I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! Don't, don't!"
The young couple talking to each other were joking and joking, but they also revealed some useful information.
Sixteen people carried the chariot.
More than thirty maids accompanied him.
"It's really a big show, who could it be?" Zhou Heng frowned in thought, and finally gave up. He had the impression that he didn't know such a cool guy.
However, just like the sun falling, this description reminded him of a sect, which was one of the ten major sects in Daqi and had a long history. It was said that it could be traced back to the mythical age.
Sun Palace!
This sect actually only began to rise in the medieval saints era, but they claimed that they were inherited from the mythical era, an immortal god who sat in the sun, and had a long history, even earlier than Chunyang Palace.
During the period of the Nine Saints' Melee in the Middle Ages, a Taoist from the Sun Palace had a great dispute with a Taoist from the Chunyang Palace.
"If it is really the Sun God Palace, this would be interesting." Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. The most outstanding young disciple of the Sun God Palace today is in the top ten on the list.
Gu Xiao.
Known as the "Son of God".
Ranked sixth on the list.
…
The Wang family mansion is located in the center of the southern district of Xuanzhou City.
This is a giant garden covering an area of more than 5,000 acres. It is very luxurious and complicated. There are also many runic restrictions secretly arranged, and a stunning formation can be formed at any time.
Of course, this is only the part of the Wang family in the human world, there are even more in the cave of heaven and man.
However, the "younger" generation still walking on earth, as well as a few heavenly beings living in the mortal world, still live in this giant 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 lineage, was sitting on a chair carved from golden nanmu.
The direct eldest brother is not the head of the family, but is in a position to handle 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 was planned and planned by my brother 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 beside him, 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 comes back 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 whispered: "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 two days and haven't been able to update as well. I'm sorry and I'll try to resume normal updates tomorrow.
