Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

In Xin'an County, everyone knows that there are two places not to go, one is Chongxinfang of Fuhu Clan, and the other is Ningxinfang of Sanjiang Clan.

The power of these two gangs in Xin'an County is only lower than that of the government, but they are far more unreasonable than the government.

If anyone who is not a member of the gang wants to get close to these two areas, they will definitely be scolded by the guards, and in serious cases, they will be beaten.

But today, a tall young man wearing rough linen clothes ignored this prohibition and walked straight to the entrance of Chongxinfang.

A guard immediately scolded:

"Stop! Who are you?"

The tall young man smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:

"My name is Chen Erniu, the commander of the Baibingtang escort team. I would like to ask this brother for my convenience."

When the guard heard this, he immediately took two steps forward, and his originally straight back also bent slightly.

With the word "commander" attached to it, he is at least a marrow refining warrior, and he is not something that a little guard in the skin refining realm can offend.

But he quickly reacted and said:

"Commander Chen, please show me your bronze medal."

The tall young man said calmly:

"I lost my bronze identity medal."

The guard straightened his back again:

"Lost? Then how do I know whether what you said is true or false?"

The tall young man said calmly:

"I am familiar with Wei Wuding, the deacon of Baibingtang, and Yu Zhenchuan, the deputy commander of Baibingtang's escort team. You can report it and we will know the truth."

When the guard saw that what he said was clear and logical, and seemed to be true, he bent his back again and said:

"Commander Chen, please wait a moment. I'll go make a report."

After saying that, he turned around and trotted into Chongxinfang, leaving only one guard guarding the door.

The tall young man looked up to the horizon with a smile on his face, his eyes far away.

This person is Chen Yuan, and half a month has passed since he picked the spiritual grass for the young man in black.

He thirsted for mountain springs and ate wild fruits in the valley. He relied on the remaining three Essence Pills and after two starlight injections, he replenished the lost essence and blood, and all his injuries were healed before leaving the valley.

He trekked for four days in the Chimang Mountains, sold a wild boar he hunted, exchanged it for money, bought a blank book, a pair of rough linen clothes, and hired a carriage, which took two days. Then he rushed back to the county town.

It was just that his identity bronze medal was destroyed by the evil wind in the cave, and there were dozens of marrow refining warriors from the Fuhu Gang. The guards didn't recognize him, so they reported the names of Wei Wuding and Yu Zhenchuan.

I wonder how the Fuhu Gang will treat him now?

…

When the guards, led by the handymen at Baibing Hall, found Wei Wuding, he was recuperating at home.

Wei Wuding heard that Chen Yuan was back. Regardless of the thick white cloth wrapped around his shoulders, he stood up and said:

"Quick! Ask him to wait in the reception room at the entrance of Baibing Hall. Don't be rude!"

After the guards left, he handed his identity jade badge to the servant at the entrance and ordered:

"You went to Yu Zhenchuan, the deputy commander of the escort team, and asked him to entertain Chen Erniu."

"yes!"

The handyman took the order and left. Wei Wuding hurried out of the house and came to the door of a three-entry house.

This house occupies a vast area, and the plaque reads "Hou Mansion" in two gilded characters. It is the residence of Hou Yan, the master of Baibing Hall.

Seeing that it was Wei Wuding, the doorman directly opened the small door on one side and invited him in without even having to report.

Wei Wuding walked through the verandah and went straight to the backyard.

Hou Yan is practicing martial arts, wearing a plain white training uniform, slowly moving his fists and understanding the secrets of the techniques.

He is of medium build, over fifty years old, with three short beards under his chin. After seeing Wei Wuding, he smiled and said:

"Wuding, why are you here?"

Wei Wuding said anxiously:

"Master, Chen Erniu is back!"

Hou Yan's expression changed, he immediately stopped his work and ordered:

"You report this to the gang leader immediately. I will change my clothes and go to the meeting hall."

…

A quarter of an hour later, the Fuhu Gang's meeting hall was filled with seats.

The leader of the gang, Luo Zhenwu, is tall, has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has an aura of calmness and authority.

The three hall masters and deputy hall masters lined up on both sides, with Wei Wuding standing behind Hou Yan.

Luo Zhenwu looked solemn and said:

"Chen Erniu is back. I want to hear your opinions. How should we deal with it?"

The head of the law enforcement hall exclaimed:

"What? He's not dead! Fortunately, his family was not touched, otherwise they would have made enemies."

The leader of Shennong Hall frowned and said:

"What is the background of Chen Erniu? He is young, has strong strength, and has been lurking in the gang. Could he be a spy of the Sanjiang Gang?"

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall shook his head and said:

"Probably not. After Junior Nephew Wei came back from the mountains, I personally took people to Chenjia Village to conduct a careful investigation. Chen Erniu has a clean family background. He is just a child of a poor farmer. There is no way he is a spy of the Sanjiang Gang."

"Then where did his martial arts come from?"

"I don't know about that..."

A deputy director of Shennong Hall said:

"In any case, he must have another agenda, otherwise there would be no need to hide his strength."

"It's just a Gangjin warrior, why don't we just arrest him and interrogate him."

"You put it lightly. If he is just a Gangjin warrior, how dare he come back so arrogantly? He must be confident if he is so courageous."

"Is it possible to enshrine him? He was taken away by an immortal. Maybe he has an immortal destiny with him. Don't you covet his immortal destiny?"

"How can immortality be so good? It's not like I've never seen immortals before, and I don't take mortals like us at all. It's already good that Chen Erniu can save his life, but he still wants immortality? Dreaming! "

Everyone started arguing with each other.

Hou Yan did not speak, he stroked his beard lightly and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was deep in meditation.

Luo Zhenwu sat at the top, his eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and suddenly said:

"Master Hou, Chen Erniu is from Baibing Hall. What do you think of him joining the gang this time?"

Only then did everyone stop and look at Hou Yan.

Hou Yan opened his eyes, cupped his hands towards Luo Zhenwu, and said:

"To report to the gang leader, Chen Erniu has been working under Wu Ding, and Wu Ding knows him best. It's better to let Wu Ding express his opinion."

Luo Zhenwu looked at Wei Wuding behind him:

"Master Nephew Wei, what do you think of this matter?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Wuding thought about it carefully and said:

"Reporting to the leader of the gang, Chen Erniu is usually honest and diligent, always strives to be the first in trouble, and is willing to help others. He is very popular in the escort team and has never done any bad deeds. But these were all things before he exposed Gang Jin's strength. I'm afraid he can't do anything. Well, I don’t know what his intention is when he comes back this time.”

Luo Zhenwu nodded slightly and said:

"From what you said, this person is either pure in nature or has a deep mind... But no matter what, he is a disciple of our gang after all, and our gang has not treated him badly. If he has no ill intentions, let him stay. "

The leader of Shennong Hall frowned and said:

"Gang leader, it's probably not a good thing for such a deep-minded person to stay in the gang."

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall also echoed:

"Yes, Gang Leader, who knows what his plans are, we can't let tigers become troubles!"

Luo Zhenwu frowned and said:

"Don't forget, the fight between our gang and the Sanjiang Gang is getting increasingly fierce. What a big help it will be to have one more Gangjin warrior for nothing? Chen Erniu is clean and has never done any bad deeds. So what if he has some thoughts? Conquer Sanjiang. Help is the most important thing!”

After that, he got up and walked out of the hall.

Everyone looked at each other and quickly stood up to follow him.

…

While everyone was discussing, Chen Yuan was chatting and laughing with Yu Zhenchuan in the living room at the entrance of Baibing Hall.

Chen Yuan smiled and said:

"After I left, you didn't encounter any more difficulties, right?"

Yu Zhenchuan carefully apologized and smiled:

"Everything went well. Thanks to Tong... for being so brave and repelling the demonic tiger, we were able to save our lives."

He sat opposite Chen Yuan, but he didn't dare to sit still. He leaned forward and sweat broke out on his head.

He still can't forget the shock he felt when the giant tiger slapped Wei Wuding on the shoulder. Chen Yuan used his sword to fight the giant tiger in a neck-and-neck fight.

The person who calls him senior brother every day is actually a master of Gang Jin!

Later, Chen Yuan flew away with the immortal, and his eyes almost popped out.

Is this still the honest and diligent Chen Erniu?

This time when Chen Yuan came back, Wei Wuding asked him to greet him. He was no longer as casual as before in front of Chen Yuan. He was trembling and walking on thin ice, not daring to make any mistakes.

Chen Yuan is not as honest as before. Although he is only wearing a pair of rough linen clothes, he is calm and composed with extraordinary momentum, which makes Yu Zhenchuan more cautious.

Just when he was feeling more and more uncomfortable, Chen Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the door.

Yu Zhenchuan followed his line of sight and saw a group of people walking around the screen wall and walking over.

The leader was the gang leader Luo Zhenwu, followed by the three hall masters and deputy hall masters, and Wei Wuding walked at the back.

Chen Yuan stood up to greet him, cupped his fists and saluted:

"Er Niu has met the gang leader."

Luo Zhenwu walked into the living room, stretched out his hand to support Chen Yuan, looked up and down, and said:

"No need to be polite, just come back safely. Thanks to you for blocking the demon tiger in the Chimang Mountains, otherwise the convoy would have been killed by the tiger. You have made great contributions to our gang, but there has been no news these days. I was so anxious to wait, and finally You’re back!”

Chen Yuan smiled and said:

"My thoughts are with you, Master."

"Come, sit down and talk to me. Why did the immortal take you away? Is there any danger?"

Luo Zhenwu never mentioned Chen Yuan's concealment of his strength, and his majestic face was full of concern.

Chen Yuan pushed the boat along the current and eloquently said:

"The Immortal took me flying for a day and a night, and arrived at the top of a mountain. Next to it was a cliff thousands of feet tall. There was an endless wind blowing under the cliff. The Immortal saw that I was extremely powerful and my body was not weak, so he let me climb down. Find something for him..."
