Chapter 179 In The Fourth City District, The First Elder Passed Away
The fourth district of Taiping City is located outside the third wall.
Since the fourth wall has not been built yet, the Sublime Hand Palace and the Bixiao Sect's stronghold seem to be built outside Taiping City and are not protected by the Sect Protector Formation.
However, the sects themselves have protective capabilities, so the biggest protectors of the Fourth City District are the major sects stationed in Taiping City.
According to the plan of the ancient Immortal Dao leader, the plan was to spread the sects throughout the fourth city area to form an Immortal Alliance defense line, and the security of this area would also be handed over to the nearby sects.
With the arrival of Sublime Hand Palace and Bixiao Sect.
Zhuang Zongzheng's Ruihai Chamber of Commerce and Li Shang's Dark Star Building were also moved to the Fourth City District for unified planning and management.
The next sects to settle in were Nie Qing, the sect leader from the Huanyin Sect, and Qi Xianjue, the lord of the Wu Dao Palace.
These two people are old members of the ancient Immortal Dao tradition that Luo Liuxi brought into the family, just like Li Shang and Du Changping.
Chen Changsheng had almost no contact with these two people and only occasionally saw them talking to each other in the group.
The last generation of elders to settle in Taiping City was an old friend that Chen Changsheng had never met before—Zi Yangu, Wu Yingmei!
At this time, Chen Changsheng was receiving Ziyan Gu and others in the Fourth City District.
The beautiful woman in front of her was wearing a long blue ray dress. The skirt was graceful and elegant like flowing water. The skirt was dotted with silver edges and shimmered like stars falling in the world.
His eyes are deep and bright, his slender eyelashes tremble gently, as light as feathers, and clear light flows between his eyebrows, like spring water, washing away the smoke and dust of the world.
Wu Yingmei opened her lips slightly, smiled slightly, and said in a clear voice: "When we first met Chang Sheng, we agreed to make a hundred-year appointment, but more than two hundred years have passed and you haven't come to see me."
Chen Changsheng coughed in embarrassment: "My cultivation is too low to travel long distances, so I'm just waiting for you in Taiping City. So does this hundred-year promise still count? How about we get married now?"
"Be bold!"
The disciples of Ziyan Valley behind Wu Yingmei were furious when they heard the word "marriage" and said angrily: "How can Fairy Wu allow you to be defiled? Even if you are an elder of the ancient Immortal Dao tradition, you still have to apologize to Fairy Wu." !”
"You have a good reputation in Ziyan Valley. So many people look up to you."
Chen Changsheng looked at the angry-faced disciples of Ziyan Valley with a smile, like an old father looking at his children.
Wu Yingmei smiled sweetly and said: "That's natural. If you offend me, they will settle the score with you."
"As for the hundred-year agreement...the hundred-year condition has indeed been met, but you did not go to Luoyu Purple Smoke Valley, so the marriage conditions have not been met yet."
It was agreed that when Chen Changsheng arrived in Luoyu Ziyan Valley a hundred years later, Wu Yingmei would become his Taoist companion.
But now it is Wu Yingmei who comes to Taiping City, not Chen Changsheng who goes to Ziyan Valley.
Chen Changsheng laughed dumbly and said, "Yeah, it's such a pity."
"I don't see any pity from your expression. Instead, you seem to be a little lucky." Wu Yingmei said suspiciously.
"Haha! Don't talk about that." Chen Changsheng looked careless and changed the subject: "I will take you to visit Taiping City and let the elders of Ziyan Valley choose the sect address."
The two of them walked and chatted, wandering among the streets and alleys of Taiping City and the mountains, rivers and lakes.
Wu Yingmei asked: "A generation of elders have come to Taiping City?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head gently: "The Sixth Princess is not here. The Kingdom of God is a dynasty. It cannot move like a sect, let alone dedicate half of its people to station in Taiping City."
The emperor is the last person who is willing to become a minister. He will definitely be willing to let them take over Taiping City, but it is absolutely impossible for them to join.
Therefore, among the elders of the first generation, only Qing Lian did not come, while the rest all came.
"The development of Taiping City has far exceeded my expectations. I just made a prediction and it is difficult to predict the future of Taiping City." Wu Yingmei said with a solemn face.
"Doesn't this just show that Taiping City has a profound foundation and unlimited possibilities?" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"That's true, but it also means that my divination can't predict the crisis for Taiping City. I can only use the troops to cover up the water and the earth."
“This is the easiest thing for group members to deal with.”
As soon as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he suddenly received a group message prompt. .
Normally they would just ignore it, but the familiar names above made Chen Changsheng and Wu Yingmei look startled.
The two looked at each other with shock on their faces.
[Group reminder: Group member Du Changping died! ]
…
The sky was dark, as if there was going to be a heavy rain.
The atmosphere in the grand hall was deathly silent. Chen Changsheng and others stood in front of a coffin with solemn and sad expressions.
Taiping City was established a hundred years ago, and Du Changsheng guarded it for a hundred years. After the last battle with Yu Fu's clone, his lifespan was greatly reduced.
In recent years, he had been recuperating in seclusion in a secret room, and passed away today.
A generation of elders from the ancient Immortal Dao tradition has welcomed its first death!
Du Changping came to Taiping City to retire, but ended up spending his later years in seclusion in a secret room. Even the treasures of heaven and earth brought back by Luo Liuxi could not completely save Du Changping.
The loss of life span is most fatal to monks.
What's more, Du Changping's lifespan is short, and he has gone through a life-burning battle. He can survive to this day purely by the medicinal effects of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"Senior Du, have a good trip!"
Qiu Xuan sighed, caressed the coffin with cloudy eyes, and sealed it with magic.
He seemed to have seen his future and couldn't help but feel pessimistic.
Soul Formation monks as powerful as Senior Du cannot escape the lifespan limit, not to mention that he is only a small Gold Core.
Like Senior Du, he came to Taiping City to retire, and he could not escape the day when he died.
"Carry the coffin and bury!"
Luo Liuxi's tone was cold, revealing a hint of heaviness.
Senior Du's coffin was immediately lifted by several people for a funeral ceremony.
Flowers were piled up, ghost coins were scattered, and they were chanted all the way to Taipingcheng Cemetery for burial.
Looking at this scene, many people looked sad and dazed, as if all their reputations, achievements, and past were just a big dream.
If you don’t become an immortal, you will become nothing!
"Changsheng, are you worried that you won't be able to become an immortal and will eventually die of old age?"
Wu Yingmei stood beside Chen Changsheng and asked suddenly.
Chen Changsheng stood with his hands behind his hands and replied calmly: "I never think about the future, I only care about every day now."
"Although you are not answering the question, I can hear the confidence in your tone. To be honest, I don't understand why you can live so freely, and in the process of being comfortable, you can create miracles again and again."
Wu Yingmei looked straight ahead: "The hexagram I calculated for you back then, the question was actually what would be the cause and effect if I made friends with you. The analysis of the hexagram was...immortality!"
She paused for a moment, then turned to look into Chen Changsheng's eyes, with a playful smile on her face.
"The result of the hexagram is the same as your name, which makes me unable to determine the specific answer."
"I was thinking at that time, does the hexagram mean that getting to know you will lead to immortality? Or does your constitution have a special constitution, and eating you will lead to immortality? Or is there another answer?"
"What you said is a bit scary, but I can answer it for you." Chen Changsheng also showed a playful smile: "Actually, if you eat it by me, you will live forever. Do you believe it?"
"..."
Wu Yingmei was silent for a moment, and said with a hint of anger in her tone: "Fairy Luo is right, you are a gangster."
