Chapter 23: The Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect? Never heard of it!
The sun is rising, and the blue sky is as pure and transparent as a gem.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, making the entire Guanjiangkou soft and warm.

In the sky, a white cloud floated leisurely.

Standing on the cloud was a middle-aged Taoist in a robe, with an elegant temperament and handsome features. He was none other than the Golden Immortal Jade Ding Zhenren of the Chan sect.

But at this moment, his face was full of frost, staring at Yuan Hong lying on the white cloud and angrily scolded: "Didn't you say that Guan County is very close to Meishan? Why haven't we arrived yet after walking for so many days?"

Yuan Hong was tied up with a rope at this moment. He had great magical powers but could not move at all.

How could he, who has always been brave and aggressive, bear this?
Even though he knew that Jade Ding Zhenren had great powers and was far beyond his ability to defeat, it was impossible to make him admit defeat!
What's more, three of his brothers were killed by Jade Ding Zhenren, and the remaining three were seriously injured.

Although he managed to save his life, his cultivation level was regressed by hundreds of years!

With such a deep hatred, how could he bow his head?

So these days, when Master Yu Ding asked him to lead the way, he just pointed in a random direction and let him run around like a headless fly.

Although he also knew that this behavior was irrational, once the other party reacted, he would be doomed.

But he just couldn't swallow this!

What's more, he didn't think that if he just led the way, the other party would let him go.

In his view, it is normal to kill all the enemies.

The reason why Jade Ding Zhenren didn't kill him was simply because he needed him to show the way. Once they got to the destination, they would no longer need him.

Hearing Master Yu Ding's angry rebuke, Yuan Hong didn't even open his eyes, and said, "If you don't believe me, then kill me and find it yourself!"

Jade Ding Zhenren was also angry.

At least he is telling lies with his eyes open, but you are telling lies with your eyes closed. I am just a person with a poor sense of direction, not stupid!
"It seems that you, this evil beast, are really not afraid of death!"

Jade Ding Zhenren raised his right hand and wanted to slap Yuan Hong to death.

But in the end he put his hand down, looked at Yuan Hong and said: "I know you always think that I killed your brother, but I have no grudge against you, why did I kill you?
That day, I was deceived and mistakenly entered Meishan...

If you want revenge, you should find those people who cheated me.

It was they who first killed your three brothers, and then they misled others and deliberately framed me..."

"Haha~"

Yuan Hong opened his eyes and sneered, "Would I believe your lies? It was obvious that you were stopped by my brothers when you went to Meishan to collect herbs, so you killed them!"

Jade Ding Zhenren did not get angry anymore, and said calmly: "I am a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, my Taoist name is Yu Ding, and I am a disciple of the Jade Purity Saint Yuanshi Tianzun!

Is there any elixir in this world that is not available in Yuxu Palace?
Do I need to go to Meishan to collect herbs?"

"Are you one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect?"

When Yuan Hong heard Jade Ding Zhenren introduce himself, he was stunned.

Since the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School traveled around the wild world, made a great name for themselves, and successively accepted human leaders such as the Yellow Emperor as their disciples, making the Chan School even more prosperous with the blessing of humanity.

Up to now, the Chan Sect has enjoyed the reputation of "following the will of Heaven and governing the Taoist tradition, commanding all the immortals and pacifying the eight directions", and is regarded as the orthodox Taoism by countless practitioners.

Every year, countless practitioners go through untold hardships to travel to Kunlun Mountain just to be able to join the Chan Sect. Even if they can only become an outer disciple, they are satisfied.

As a high-ranking Xuanxian, Yuan Hong had naturally heard of the reputation of the Chan sect, and even fantasized about being able to join the Chan sect and achieve Daluo one day.

He never expected that the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him, whom he regarded as an enemy, was actually the legendary Golden Immortal of the Chan sect with omnipotent magical powers!

"So...it's really not you who killed my three brothers?"

Yuan Hong looked at Jade Ding Zhenren and asked.

He didn't even notice that his tone had unconsciously softened.

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded slightly.

This is the attitude we should have when facing the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!
"Take me to Guan County now. After I finish the things I have on hand, I will go with you to find those people who killed your brothers."

"Is this true?"

Yuan Hong was moved.

If he could get help from a Jinxian of the Chan Sect, would he still be afraid of not being able to take revenge? Jade Ding Zhenren seemed to see through his thoughts and glanced at him calmly, "I am not here to help you, but I have a score to settle with them!"

Yuan Hong nodded and said solemnly: "Please help me untie you, Immortal. I will take you to Guan County now!"

Jade Ding Zhenren was not afraid that he would run away. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the immortal rope loosened itself, turning into a golden light and flying back into his sleeve.

Yuan Hong stood up, put his hands on his forehead and carefully observed the surrounding environment for a while.

"From here, go south for about 1,300 miles and you will see a big river. Then go down the river and you will reach Guanjiangkou in about 2,000 miles."

"Guanjiangkou?" Jade Ding Zhenren raised his eyebrows slightly, "I want to go to Guan County."

Yuan Hong raised his head and glanced at Jade Ding Zhenren, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

“Guanjiangkou is Guan County.”

"Ok?"

Jade Ding Zhenren was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, "What was that look you had just now?"

……

As the sun set, a white cloud floated to the mouth of Guanjiang River.

Looking at the majestic city and bustling streets below, Jade Ding Zhenren felt slightly relieved.

Finally arrived!
Next, all we have to do is find the little boy named Yang Jian.

Jade Ding Zhenren brought Yuan Hong to a deserted alley in the city, raised his foot and stomped lightly on the bluestone floor, and said calmly: "Where is the land?"

"boom!"

A puff of white smoke emerged from the ground, and an old man leaning on a cane emerged from it. "The land of this county is here. I wonder which immortal summoned me?"

The land god is a minor god under the jurisdiction of the city god. His duty is to protect the safety of the local homes, the birth of children, and the prosperity of livestock...

If you want to find a mortal, asking the local land god or land goddess is a shortcut.

After Jade Ding Zhenren introduced himself, the Earth God dared not neglect him and answered all his questions without reservation.

Soon, Jade Ding Zhenren got the answer he wanted - the second son of the wealthy Mr. Yang was named Yang Jian.

After finding his target, Jade Ding Zhenren quickly arrived at Yang’s mansion.

He did not rush into the house, but politely asked Yuan Hong to go forward and knock on the door.

Yuan Hong impatiently went forward and knocked on the door loudly, which immediately alarmed more than a dozen martial artists guarding the courtyard, and they rushed out with swords, spears, and halberds in hand.

Jade Ding Zhenren glared at Yuan Hong, then stepped forward and said gently, "Please tell your master that the Jade Ding Zhenren of the Chan Sect is here to visit."

"Master Yu Ding? The legendary Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect?!"

The martial arts masters who were guarding the courtyard widened their eyes, some of them couldn't believe it.

The Chan sect is very famous, and the story of the Twelve Golden Immortals is widely circulated and almost known to every household.

Therefore, even though these martial artists are just mortals, they have all heard of the name of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect.

The martial artists did not dare to neglect it, "Please wait a moment, Immortal. I will go and report to the master."

"Well, I'm done."

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded with a smile.

He had long been accustomed to the shocked and admiring looks from people around him.

You have to know that during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the eyes of the human race looked at him with even more respect and passion than they do now.

He declined the wooden stool brought by a martial arts master and just stood straight in front of the door of Yang's mansion.

He knew that it would not be long before the owner of the Yang Mansion would come out to greet him with great fear and respect.

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

All I heard was a loud rebuke from the deep courtyard: "What is the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect? I have never heard of it, sir!
Send him back to where he came from!
If he is short of money, just ask the accountant to give him two hundred copper coins, and it will be considered as a good deed for me, sir!"
