I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 200 Is he really Guang Chanzi?

It is not uncommon for Daqian martial artists to seek immortal fate.

Su Yuqing, who grew up in the capital, had a particularly deep understanding of this. This was true for everyone from Emperor Jingtai to princes and ministers.

It has been like this since the Tianbao period.

In the past, Emperor Tianbao even destroyed the entire imperial court in his search for a way to achieve immortality.

Su Yuqing herself had similar thoughts, not to mention others. She just felt that the hope was slim, so she wasn't that enthusiastic.

Once people have power and strength, they don't want to die.

It has been like this since ancient times.

Xie An also fell into deep thought.

Only now did he realize the significance of the four words "Taiyi Dao Bai".

But to say that I was so excited or carried away... not to that extent.

Unpredictable people.

Xie An was instinctively wary of the huge benefit he had obtained rashly.

This Bai Yujing has no relationship with me, yet he suddenly gave me the token of his personal disciple... It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse.

Fortunately, this is not the capital, and the initiative is in Xie An's hands.

Whether to go to see Bai Yujing in the future or to recognize this master, Xie An felt that it would depend on the circumstances.

Yes, Xie An had doubts about Bai Yujing's purpose of giving this benefit...

What's more, Xie An is no longer the old man who just started learning martial arts. After all the way to now, Xie An has accumulated a lot of experience.

There is no need to rely on others and read their faces for everything.

Seeking immortal fate is a matter of great importance. Xie An needs to plan carefully, seize the initiative as much as possible, and reduce risks.

In the end, Xie An chose to agree to Su Yuqing.

On the one hand, the conditions offered by Su Yuqing were very attractive, and it was indeed the stage he needed.

On the other hand, Xie An had lived in Qingwu County for more than 30 years, and the people and things he cared about were all here. Naturally, he did not want to see any chaos in this land.

Seeing Xie An agreed, Su Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile on her face. Then they began to discuss the plan to capture Guang Chanzi.

……

Four months passed quickly.

Since Daqian didn't have a Gregorian calendar, they used the lunar calendar. Early May was already summer.

The weather is getting warmer and the ice and snow are disappearing.

The sightings of water monsters in the Hongze Lake area were commonplace, and nearby fishermen were afraid to enter the river, making life increasingly difficult. However, they knew that only internal vessels flying the Tiananmen flag would be safe from attacks by the monsters.

Therefore, everyone praises the miracles of Heavenly Father and says that Heavenly Father is the reincarnation of God.

More and more people are joining Tiananmen Gang, and more and more people are believing in Tiananmen Gang.

The believers are spread all over Heize County, and are constantly infiltrating into Qingwu County, and are also spreading to several neighboring counties.

Tiananmen has a unique doctrine that spreads like a virus.

There are countless islands in Hongze Lake.

The flags of Tiananmen Square were flying on every island, and the islands were crowded with believers of Tiananmen Square.

Ordinary believers are not eligible to stay here. Only special-level believers can stay in Hongze Lake, practicing the skills bestowed by the Heavenly Father day and night, listening to the Red-robed Leader expound on the Heavenly Father's Code, and being ready to fight bloody battles for the great cause of the Holy Church at any time.

This day is the annual Heavenly Father Lecture Day.

Countless believers left their respective small islands and took boats to Jinshan Island in the center of Hongze Lake to listen to the Heavenly Father’s preaching.

Early in the morning, Jinshan Island was crowded with people.

The believers couldn't wait to discuss the future of God.

"I've only been a member of Tiananbang for less than six months. I have great admiration for the Heavenly Father, but I've never met him before. Today I finally have the chance to see him. I'm so excited."

"I'm very excited too. Heavenly Father is the savior sent from heaven. He saved us from dire straits. I spent all my wealth to become a special believer. But it was worth it."

"Me too. I spent five hundred taels and finally became a special-level believer. I feel incredibly proud."

"You spent five hundred taels, which is a good amount. I spent a thousand taels to become a special-grade believer. Unfortunately, I didn't get a high grade."

"It takes several thousand taels to buy a rank, so your one thousand taels is definitely not enough. I know a foreigner who spent two thousand taels to buy a ninth-rank disciple. That's what we call arrogance."

"What kind of arrogance is that? Four months ago, I met a tough guy. He spent 80,000 taels to buy a fourth-rank red priest."

"Eighty thousand taels, a fourth-rank red robe. Wouldn't the next step up be the Red-robed Sect Leader? Is it worth it?"

"It's definitely worth it. It's said that the Heavenly Father has mastered the secret of immortality. Red priests, there is a chance to receive the Heavenly Father's enlightenment and learn the secret of immortality."

"real or fake?"

"Who knows... We're just ordinary believers, so let's just wait and see. After ten or eight years, and some meritorious service, we might even have a chance to become a red priest and receive the guidance of the Heavenly Father on how to achieve immortality. Look, that's that young man! Eighty thousand taels to buy a red priest."

These people's eyes were bloodshot when they spoke, which showed that they had been severely brainwashed. They were all Tiananmen fanatics.

The difference between so-called special believers and ordinary believers is nothing more than whether they spend enough money or not.

Special believers are just the beginning in Tiananmen.

Above them are ninth-grade believers, eighth-grade believers, seventh-grade believers... to fourth-grade believers.

The more money you give, the higher the grade.

Different levels will be reflected in the believers' clothing, showing their glory.

From the fourth grade and above, you can no longer buy it with money.

Under the gazes of countless people, a young priest in red slowly stepped onto the island, entered the center of the crowd, and finally sat down in the first row next to the pulpit.

The young man ignored everyone's envy and jealousy. He looked extremely calm, and his eyes sparkled with maturity and stability beyond his age.

This person is naturally Xie An.

Even though he is now the red priest of Tiananmen, he is actually not happy at all.

Xie An didn't believe Tiananbang's brainwashing at all.

It's the mission, there's nothing else we can do.

Eighty thousand taels, it hurts so much to spend it.

After finalizing the plan to capture Guang Chanzi with Su Yuqing, Xie An immediately took action. He thought he could quickly infiltrate Tiananbang and meet Guang Chanzi, the Heavenly Father.

In this way, Xie An could find out the whereabouts and preferences of the Heavenly Father, and then formulate a capture plan based on this.

After all, Xie An has Su Yuqing, a great martial arts master, behind him. He just needs to find out where Tianfu is and sneak in with Su Yuqing to capture him.

However, the complexity of the facts far exceeded Xie An's imagination.

Tiananbang is too big!

There are 70,000 to 80,000 Christians living in Hongze Lake alone.

Furthermore, Guang Chanzi imitated the imperial court and divided the followers into nine ranks. Normally, only the third-rank red-robed leader was allowed to brainwash and teach martial arts. Even the second-rank leader was nowhere to be seen.

Not to mention finding out where Guang Chanzi is.

After all, there are thousands of small islands in Hongze Lake...

At that time, Xie An was completely paralyzed.

You know, Tian Youguang is just a ninth-rank believer.

In desperation, Xie An had to disguise himself as a teenager and sneak into Tiananbang. After inquiring about the situation, he discovered that believers were divided into ordinary and special levels. Only special-level believers could stay at Hongze Lake and be considered believers.

Starting from being a disciple, one needs to accumulate experience, loyalty, merit, etc. Normally it takes several years to reach the ninth rank.

How could Xie An have so much time to waste here?

Just do it in one step.

Krypton gold.

He spent 80,000 taels of silver to buy a fourth-rank red-robed priest.

This is the highest grade money can buy.

I thought I would be able to get in touch with Guang Chanzi after becoming a red priest.

In the end, Xie An still underestimated Tianan State.

This is truly a very tightly organized church!
Anything needs to be reported to the next level.

Fortunately, Xie An was calm and well-funded. The one who had appointed him as a fourth-rank red priest was a third-rank red priest named Liu Fang.

After some inquiries, it was found that Liu Fang was greedy for money.

Xie An then gave the old man Liu Fang 20,000 taels of silver to express his admiration for God, hoping to find out what God likes so that he could give him a gift and win his favor.

Liu Fang remembered Xie An's "loyalty" to the Holy Religion and finally gave some information.

He also said that after God’s sermon today, he could introduce Xie An to meet God.

Xie An wanted to advance the time, but was rejected by Liu Fang.

Liu Fang said that Heavenly Father is very busy and that he usually needs to listen to the will of Heaven. During this period, Liu Fang did not know where Heavenly Father was and could only see Him at the annual lecture.

Xie An had no choice but to agree.

In this way, Xie An spent a full 100,000 taels to get the opportunity to meet God the Father.

Although everything had been prepared, Xie An still secretly criticized God in his heart.

too dark!
What is Tiananbang? It is nothing but a cult that uses the method of longevity to make money.

However, Xie An also discovered that in this technologically backward world, immortality is truly the best poison. It's truly enough to convince so many people to believe it. Tiananbang's development is incredibly crazy.

When I first arrived four months ago, there were only 70,000 to 80,000 people in Hongze Lake.

But later, due to the massacre of Baishi Village and Li Hao's instigation, Zhao Qing'er, Wei Haoran, and Chen Tie were all dismissed.

Xie An was also going to be dismissed, but because the imperial edict just came down, Xie An was given a merit and promoted to the fourth rank. So he was spared from being dismissed.

In this way, all the factions that the eldest princess had planted in the Demon Bureau of Qingwu Town were eliminated, leaving only Xie An as the only one left.

Without Chen Tie's faction, Tiananbang's development went directly to the surface and spread like a virus.

This put a lot of pressure on Xie An.

Xie An usually needs to restore his original appearance and go to the Demon Suppression Division for a while. Then he will change back into his youthful body and come to Tiananbang to be a red priest.

It's so busy.

However, Xie An has also gained a lot in these four months.

On the one hand, Xie An chose a Shengjin Pill that could directly elevate his martial arts level. Coupled with the four months of refinement of his water drop internal energy technique, Xie An's strength had reached the peak of the eighth-level martial arts master.

Just one step away from the ninth level of internal strength.

When the princess learned that Xie An had spent 100,000 taels, she was very generous and personally lived at the Heize County Pier outside Hongze Lake. Whenever Xie An returned, she would teach him martial arts personally.

After several months, Xie An benefited a lot and became more and more proficient in the use of internal energy.

However, Xie An still felt that it was not worth 100,000 taels...

Xie An's Tiger Form Qigong had also improved significantly, connecting ninety-three nodes. He was close to achieving the ultimate level of Tiger Form Qigong.

The progress of Mingyu Gong has also reached 177/200.

Although the days are tiring, I have made great progress.

However, the atmosphere in Anbang that day made Xie An feel very uncomfortable.

All day long, they were just brainwashing lectures, no different from pyramid schemes or scams in northern Myanmar. Xie An was deeply repulsed by this. Furthermore, the people here were mentally unstable, making it very uncomfortable to be around them.

He just wanted to capture Guang Chanzi as soon as possible and get away from this dirty place.

Fortunately, it’s almost over.

Just when Xie An was stunned, a very harsh voice came.

"Little brother Liu Mu, you're here really early."

Xie An turned around and saw an old man with a white beard walking towards him and sitting next to him very kindly.

It was this guy who cheated me out of one hundred thousand taels.

However, Xie An did not show any displeasure. Instead, he put on a very friendly smile and said, "Brother Liu, I saved a seat for you. Please take a seat."

Liu Fang sat down with a smile. After some small talk, he leaned over to Xie An's ear and said, "Little brother Liu Mu, you took me to Zui Xiang Lou yesterday, and it was great. Would you like to go again tonight?"

Xie An felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Fang cheated him out of his money and secretly said that he liked women and wanted to go to Zui Xiang Lou, the best brothel in Hei Ze County, to have fun. In fact, Xie An didn't like going to such places, but in order to find out Guang Chanzi's whereabouts, Xie An had to endure it.

At first, Xie An thought that inviting him once or twice would be enough.

I didn't expect that this old man had no self-control and hinted at Xie An every now and then.

Knowing that he would be meeting the Heavenly Father, Liu Fang had intensified his efforts recently, going every day. He hinted to Xie An that if he didn't treat him well, he wouldn't take Xie An to see the Heavenly Father.

Xie An felt deeply threatened!

Although Xie An didn't mind the daily expenses of one or two hundred taels, the old man's behavior...left Xie An no time to practice martial arts, wasting a lot of time. Xie An hated him very much.

I have already written down Liu Fang's name in the little notebook in my heart.

After planning to capture Guang Chanzi, he was sent on his way.

Xie An complained in his heart, but smiled and said, "I will listen to Brother Liu."

Liu Fang chuckled and said, "Brother Liu Mu is indeed a member of our family. It's a shame we met so late. Maybe we were brothers in a previous life."

Xie An smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Liu."

In fact, the name Liu Mu was made up by Xie An. He had heard that Liu Fang was a wealthy man, so he made up the name Liu Mu in order to get closer to him.

I thought Liu Fang would treat me better this way, but I didn't expect that the old man would become even more deceitful to his family members.

Suddenly, there were shrill shouts from the field.

Xie An and Liu Fang stopped chatting and turned to look at the pulpit.

A white-haired old man in a golden robe slowly took the stage. Before he could even speak, countless people prostrated themselves on the ground, calling out "Heavenly Father" loudly.

Is this Guang Chanzi?
Xie An immediately opened his five senses and felt the other person's life breath.

Although he was very old, he was very strong. However, it seemed that there was still a gap between the strength of his aura and what Xie An expected.

In order to avoid being discovered, Xie An withdrew his five senses and pretended to listen attentively.

After a detailed and solemn process, Heavenly Father began to preach.

The general meaning is that when the Heavenly Father was born, auspicious signs descended from heaven and an immortal appeared in his dream, asking him to teach the immortal arts to the people of the world on behalf of the immortals, so that everyone could achieve immortality and escape from birth, old age, sickness and death.

Xie An was filled with resentment after hearing this. No one in Daqian had found their destiny, so how could Guang Chanzi have such merit?
It's nothing more than a pyramid scheme.

But the others were all fanatical and called the Heavenly Father an immortal.

Xie An looked at the tens of thousands of people in the audience who were extremely enthusiastic, and a feeling of fear suddenly arose in his heart.

These people have been completely brainwashed.

God will not even frown when he lets them die.

If Heavenly Father really colluded with the King of Huainan to rebel...it might really cause a big commotion.

The allure of immortality is amazing.

Xie An didn't believe it because, on the one hand, he had traveled through time in his past life and was well-informed, so he could tell that this was a brainwashing pyramid scheme. On the other hand, he had access to a higher level of information in this life, so he could tell that Guang Chanzi was deliberately being mysterious.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I will really get into trouble.

After lecturing for more than three hours, Xie An knew that everyone had been brainwashed even more thoroughly.

When the Heavenly Father left the stage, Xie An bowed to Liu Fang and said, "Brother Liu, please. I have already booked Zui Xiang Lou tonight. All the courtesans there belong to you."

Liu Fang was very happy to hear this. "Don't worry, I will go and report to Heavenly Father right away. Wait for my news, little brother."

Leaving a word, Liu Fang left his seat and hurriedly caught up with Heavenly Father.

As expected, Liu Fang had a very high status, and the other big men around the Heavenly Father did not stop him. Liu Fang bowed before the Heavenly Father and muttered a few words. The Heavenly Father then turned around and glanced at Xie An from a distance.

After a while, Liu Fang came back and said with a smile: "Heavenly Father has agreed. Come with me."

call!
Xie An heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the days of this den of thieves were finally coming to an end.

Following Liu Fang, we left the central Jinshan Island, boarded a boat and sailed for an hour or so before arriving at a very remote area of ​​water. At the end of the area, there was an inconspicuous island.

Xie An looked at the small island and wondered if Guang Chanzi lived on this island?

What a dog!
No wonder outsiders couldn’t discover it and couldn’t even imagine it.

"Brother Liu, could it be that God lives on this island?"

Liu Fang shook his head. "No. Do you see that fishing boat ahead?"

Xie An looked in the direction Liu Fang pointed and saw an extremely inconspicuous black-sailed boat in front of him, which was very shabby.

"Saw."

Liu Fang said, "Heavenly Father told me that he lives in that black-sailed boat."

Xie An felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

What a dog!
Who could have imagined that the Heavenly Father who had just been in the limelight actually lived in such a shabby black-sailed boat?
Xie An felt that he was already afraid of death enough.

I didn’t expect that Guang Chanzi... was even more afraid of death.

It can be said that this is the most fearful boss Xie An has ever met...

Xie An felt that it might not be that easy to capture Guang Chanzi.

"Let's go, little brother." Liu Fang steered his boat closer to the black-sailed boat and said to Xie An, "Little brother, I just told Heavenly Father your exact words. I said you are a wealthy businessman from another place and are willing to donate one million taels to support the great cause of the Holy Religion."

Yes, Xie An went to great lengths to meet Guang Chanzi.

Since Heavenly Father likes to make money so much, just ask for one million taels.

Moreover, Xie An's identity was mysterious. He had already spent 80,000 taels to buy a red priest, so paying an extra million taels would not arouse suspicion. After all, there were too many wealthy businessmen in Tianan State.

Only one million taels can attract the attention of Heavenly Father.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for showing me the way."

Xie An bowed and then jumped onto the black-sailed boat.

The boat is small, but the awning is two meters high, allowing people to enter and exit upright.

Xie An adjusted his mood and walked in slowly.

As soon as I entered the boat tent, I saw Tianfu sitting inside drinking tea, with a man and a woman standing behind him. The man was a full 1.9 meters tall, his head almost touching the boat tent. The woman, wearing a red dress, was extremely charming.

Xie An's five senses sensed... the life breath of this man and woman was extremely strong, and they should be martial arts masters of the upper level.

Horror!
However, Xie An, who had cultivated a sense of popularity, found that the aura of the Heavenly Father sitting in front of him was a little disordered. It seemed that he was not as powerful as the other man and woman.

what happened?

Guang Chanzi is Jin Xiaotang's younger brother and also the Heavenly Father. Shouldn't he be the strongest in Tianan State?
Is he really Guang Chanzi?

Just when Xie An was stunned, Tianfu spoke, "Little brother Liu Mu, please sit down. Chi Lian, bring the tea."
