When Jiang Sheng saw this terrifying Swordsman, he was building a bridge for the locals in the brownstone world!
It was an iron chain bridge, and under the bridge was a deep ravine that separated the villages from the town. If they wanted to go around the ravine, they would have to walk another hundred miles. To cultivators, this was nothing, but to the villages, it was extremely difficult for them to travel!
Not everyone thought of building a bridge, but the existence of the deep ravine was not something ordinary people could overcome. They did not have the ability to ride the clouds, nor did they have enough engineering ability. Therefore, for a long time, there was no good way except to take a long detour.
Lou Xiaoyi came here by chance and had the idea. He knew very well what a bridge like this meant to the villages. As for how to build it, it was not difficult for him!
Just the four thick iron chains alone took him several months. He had gathered almost all the local blacksmiths. For mortals, the most difficult thing was how to put the two ends of the iron chains together. This was a piece of cake for him. When Jiang Sheng saw him, Lou Xiaoyi was leading a group of volunteers to lay planks on top of the iron chains. They were all made of the strongest teak. He didn't want to build a tofu slag project here, so he paid special attention to the quality. He checked every iron ring with his Spiritual Sense to ensure that it was sturdy and durable.
Jiang Sheng heard about this person from a young cultivator when he was returning to the sect. He should be a cultivator with an unknown origin. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fix the iron chains that weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds to the two ends of the ravine. This time, when he came out to do some work, he happened to pass by and took a look. He did not expect that he had met this person before!
Why would a Supreme Swordsman, who could shake the world in the surrounding universe, build a bridge here? He did not think too much. It was just for cultivation. The Swordsman had killed too many people. Was he trying to find balance by benefiting the world?
But this did not mean that he did not know what to do! Without saying much, he joined the group of people building the bridge. With two Supreme cultivators, they completed the task very quickly. This was the temperament of a Supreme cultivator. They did not need to be taught!
Amidst the cheers of the people on both sides, the two cultivators tacitly left in a low-key manner.
"What's the matter?" Lou Xiaoyi asked subconsciously.
Jiang Sheng shook his head. "It was purely by chance. If I didn't know that someone was doing a good deed here, I wouldn't have come to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you!"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. "That's good! When was the last time we met? "
Jiang Sheng was a little puzzled, but he still answered truthfully, "Twenty-one years, exactly twenty-one years!"
Lou Xiaoyi heaved a long sigh of relief. People said that there was no time in the mountains, but it was the same in the world of mortals! He sighed. He had been here for such a long time.
"Twenty-one years! It's time to leave! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed unconsciously. It was a sigh for the passage of time, and also a self-deprecation for the shortness of life.
Jiang Sheng hesitated to speak, and he was slightly hesitant. However, he still spoke in the end.
"Fellow Daoist, don't you want to know about Bai Hua?"
Lou Xiaoyi replied with a question. "Should I know?"
Jiang Sheng was a little embarrassed. She was just a traveler who had coincidentally saved them once. However, you can't just pin the blame on others and think that you should save them a second time and a third time. This was not the attitude of a cultivator. However, there were some things that he had to say because it involved lives!
"In the past twenty years, after Bai Hua joined us to protect the Wings of Cloud, she relied on her familiarity with the Heng River System to intercept a few spice boats from the Heng River. Gradually, she became one of the leading figures of the protectors. Gradually, she gathered a group of like-minded people around her.
However, the people of the Heng River reacted quickly and strengthened the protection of the floating rafts. Moreover, a few Heng River Grand Priests in Tilan also began to encircle us. The situation became very bad! In the past few years, many of our brothers have died! Only by relying on the vastness of the universe and the lack of a fixed residence did we reduce the frequency of our attacks. This prevented further losses!
We lay low for nearly ten years. Recently, we heard that there would be two floating rafts transporting spices from the Heng River. Everyone thought of making a move after a long period of silence. We planned to suddenly make a move. For this reason, we contacted the leaders of several resistance organizations and planned to gather all the resistance forces to make a big move.
This time, I came back to find a few strong people who were on good terms with me to help. However, I didn't expect to meet you, Fellow Daoist. "
Lou Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes. "A very good plan! However, I see uneasiness in your eyes. Is there a reason? "
Jiang Sheng sighed and said, "Not everyone agrees with such a plan. For example, I have my reservations about it.
I have intercepted the cargo rafts from the Heng River in outer space for more than two hundred years. At that time, those who cooperated with me either died or were injured. I am the only one who has persevered. Does Fellow Daoist know why? "
Without waiting for Lou Xiaoyi to reply, he continued, "The reason why I can live for so long is because I have always adhered to two principles!
One, I never intercept the so-called cargo rafts that received the news! I only intercepted them by chance! The success rate may be very low, but I never fell into a trap! Last time, I also got the news by chance and gathered a few people for this operation. To me, this is already the biggest risk. I don't want to do it again, not to mention that the news I received was several months later!
Another, I never cooperated with other resistance organizations! It's not that I don't trust others, but that I can't underestimate the wisdom of the people of Heng River!
This operation has these two principles, so I don't agree with it! "
Lou Xiaoyi was very curious. "But now you are recruiting people for this operation?"
Jiang Sheng was silent for a while before saying, "I owe Bai Hua a big favor! She is also one of the organizers this time. Although I don't agree with it, I don't want her to fall into danger, so … "
Lou Xiaoyi understood. It might not be just a big favor. Looking at Jiang Sheng's situation, there might be feelings between a man and a woman. As for whether it started before Bai Hua went to Heng River or after she came back, it was unknown.
Cultivators also had feelings, this wasn't strange! For Jiang Sheng to be able to guard the Wings of Cloud for 200 years, it already showed his personality. It wouldn't be strange if other things were added to it.
In the Chaotic Frontier Boundary, he found that the cultivators here were very emotional! He didn't know if it was the cultivation habits of the natives here. Even when he was in the mortal world, he also understood the Dao of infusing emotions into flying swords. It was really amazing!
But he had to admit that Jiang Sheng's worries were reasonable! At the very least, Lou Xiaoyi was very clear that with the people of Heng River, they could still tolerate these so-called resistance organizations being free and unfettered for 20 years after he wiped out all the cultivators of Heng River. This was really inconceivable!
For the people of Heng River, was it difficult to get rid of these people?
