Rain beating on blue works

Chapter 1918: Lei Xiao Assembly

    

at although this White Boss was not an ordinary person, he was far from a sword-flying immortal master."Meeting you here, on the river's heart, is a sign of fate. Extending a helping hand is simply wh...Upon arriving at the state city of Tan, Qin Sang took out eight taels of silver and paid the boat fare. Reaching the city gate, he informed the Yinchai (ghost messenger) of his origins and was smoothly led to meet the City God of Tan Prefecture.

The City God's attitude was warm, yet with a hint of caution.

Qin Sang did not stay long. He claimed that he intended to seek out the world's thunder magic and asked the state city god to help him keep an eye on nearby cultivators and forces known for their thunder magic, then took his leave.

Back to the Fuchun River, Qin Sang boarded a passenger boat.

This stretch of the Fuchun River ends within the borders of Ji, finally merging with another major river. This ship can sail directly to Ji, passing through two countries along the way and stopping at major cities in each state for supplies. Normally it travels day and night without stopping, truly a grand ocean-going vessel.

This ship can carry thousands of people. Along the way, there are at least hundreds of passengers on board even at the fewest times.

Here is the translation:

Passengers came and went, and on board one could see all sorts of people, more colorful than in the city itself.

When traveling on a boat, you take care of all your needs, including eating, drinking, using the toilet, and bathing, onboard. There are two dining areas located on different decks.

The upper level is elegant but expensive. Qin Sang prefers the lower level and often spends the day there with Xiao Wu, inventing a "saving the world" pretense to actually diagnose people's illnesses.

The ship owner, seeing that he was giving medical treatment out of compassion and not charging a fee, did not charge him. He even set up a separate table for him in a corner, likely out of curiosity to see what would happen.

After all, Qin Sang's request was too outlandish. He wouldn't accept a consultation fee, but he wanted the other person to tell him a heart-wrenching story.

At first, everyone treated him like a conman from the martial arts world. Those who came to see him did so with a playful attitude, making up stories at random. Qin Sang didn't mind.

Later on, it was discovered that this Taoist priest seemed to really have some skills. He often accurately pointed out illnesses with just a few words, and some people exclaimed him a divine doctor.

The reputation of the divine doctor gradually spread throughout the ship. Even passengers who usually only dined on the upper deck had heard about it, and regardless of their status, they crowded down to the lower deck.

Not only can we see a doctor, but there are also stories to hear. The hall is crowded with people, which affects normal business operations.

The ship owner had to restrict the flow of people and wanted to open a separate clinic for Qin Sang, but Qin Sang refused.

Later, new passengers would also receive kind reminders from the ship's crew to come over and have a look. Qin Sang wasn't short of customers anyway.

Some clever sailors even wanted to take advantage of the ship docking to send messages, using Qin Sang's name to make a fortune. Officials and nobles in the state city could afford to pay high prices.

But as soon as the boat docked, Qin Sang disembarked and vanished without a trace. He would then mysteriously reappear when the ship set sail again, leaving everyone baffled.

>

Along the way, Qin Sang met many county City Gods and state City Gods. Unfortunately, Fuchun River doesn't pass through the capital city, and Qin Sang didn't make a special trip to visit.

Along the way, Qin Sang and Xiao Wu listened to countless stories, some true and some false, some touching and heart-wrenching, and some that made people grit their teeth and sigh with regret.

When Qin Sang went out to see patients, Xiao Wu would always be by his side, playing the role of a good medicine boy.

This evening.

The ship has already left its home country and will soon arrive at Ji Country.

Qin Sang's fame grew larger and larger, becoming well-known to everyone on the ship.

Before dinnertime, even the waiters were crowding in the hall to watch the excitement.

An ordinary woman, dressed plainly, was sobbing and telling her life story. She spoke of the hardships she had endured: marrying the wrong man when she was young, being mistreated by her in-laws, neighbors, and siblings, and then choosing the wrong daughter-in-law in her old age. Her words flowed endlessly, punctuated by occasional wails.

Finally finding an audience, the old woman chattered on for most of a time, showing no sign of stopping.

The audience had grown restless, some wanting to chase the woman away, but Qin Sang listened with relish.

This is the advantage of a great reputation. Now, everyone on board, from the ship owner to the passengers, treats Qin Sang with respect and deference.

Little Five also stared intently at the middle-aged woman, impressed by her eloquence. This was the first time he'd met someone who could talk like this.

Even the immortals couldn't stand to listen any longer.

On Qin Sang's desk, a chair was left empty. The people around seemed oblivious to the vacant seat and no one came to sit down, unconsciously making space for it.

And no one saw, a white-clad, elegant man, was lazily sitting in a chair.

A refined man stood up, patted his clothes, and sighed.

“If the Taoist wants to get rid of Fu, it’s better to speak plainly. Why should he endure this pain and end up hurting both sides”

Qin Sang laughed and said, "This person has been harboring chest qi for years, which has turned into a chronic illness. Letting her release it completely cured her ailments by seven points. I was treating her illness, how could Lord Jiang Shen say that it's painful Besides, Xiao Wu listened with great interest."

Xiaowu leaned against Qin Sang, indicating that she was listening attentively.

This person was the river god of Fuchun River. Having learned that a stranger had boarded a ship, he came to visit.

The refined gentleman shook his head repeatedly, "Master Daoist, you seem to enjoy these old tales. Why not visit Fu's Jiangshen Temple It'll surely be a delight! Fu doesn't have your enthusiasm for such things, so I won't intrude any further. Farewell."

Qin Sang bowed and sent them off, "Don't worry, River God. I am just following my interests and will not interfere too much with life, aging, sickness, and death."

“As long as the Daoist priest doesn't rely on his cultivation to harm people, everything he does is unrelated to Fu. These people encounter the Daoist priest, it's their good fortune...”

A refined gentleman walked out, and the crowd unconsciously parted to make way for him.

“By the way,” the refined man reminded Qin Sang to take out the pass, and have it stamped with the mark of the River God.

“A great event is about to happen in the country. Divine spirits and plants will all become soldiers. With this Fu seal, Dao Chang should be able to pass through without hindrance...”

As he spoke, the refined man had already disappeared outside the door. Without saying what important matter it was, Qin Sang didn't ask.

Here's the translation, remembering to keep the HTML tags as they are:

The ship cleaved through the waves, its speed like lightning, and finally arrived at the country of Ji.

On the border of the two countries, defense facilities were built on the great river. On the sunny side, there was Yangguan; on the shady side, Yanguan.

Several underworld officers boarded the ship, found Qin Sang, and saw the River God's seal on the official document. They all bowed respectfully.

"We are also acting on orders, and any slowness is unintentional. Please do not hold it against us, Daoist."

Qin Sang glanced at the river outside the boat and asked, "What happened in the State of Ji Is it as tense here as everywhere else"

Here is the translation of your request, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

The yin soldiers glanced at each other, and the leader asked: "Daoist Master, aren't you here for the Lei Xiao Grand Assembly"

"Lei Xiao Grand Assembly"

Qin Sang's heart moved slightly, it sounded like it was related to Lei Xiaozong.

He came here with the purpose of investigating the Lei Department's lineage, and bowed his hands: "I ask all of you to enlighten this poor man."

Thus, yin and yang explained the entire story.

After the Lei Xiao Sect was split into five, its teachings scattered. Those who obtained the Lei Xiao inheritance all claimed to be the true lineage of Lei Xiao, and for many years, they argued endlessly without reaching a conclusion.

Among these people, the three most powerful forces are Manlei School, Wuhui Gate and Jinding Mountain. Of these, Wuhui Gate is a famous and powerful school within my country's borders.

"If it were just a struggle for legitimacy, that would be one thing. But then, a treasure trove was discovered at the site of the former Lei Xiao Sect, potentially containing relics from the past, causing a huge stir."

These forces with ties to the Leixiao Sect united, refusing outsiders prying eyes. However, internally they were constantly struggling, almost causing a major upheaval.

Later, for some unknown reason, they came up with the idea of holding a Leixiao Convention.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Two months later, the Wuhui Sect will host the Lei Xiao Grand Assembly at the former site of the Lei Xiao Sect. At that time, sects, families, and cultivators from within Ji Guo and nearby regions with ties to the Lei Xiao Sect will all be present.

“Among the three teachings and nine streams, there are those with cruel tempers and erratic behavior. One must be cautious!”

Qin Sang heard this, secretly thinking to himself, "So that's how it is."

When the young man left Ji Guo, he had heard that someone had found a treasure at the old site of Lei Xiao Zong.

The storm isn't over yet, and they even held a Lei Xiao Grand Assembly. It seems like they've made some big discoveries at the Lei Xiao Sect again.

It's better to arrive opportunely than too early. Qin Sang had originally planned to visit the Wuhui Gate first, but now he decided to go straight to the old site of Leixiao Sect.

After seeing off Yin Cha, Qin Sang also led his horse ashore.

The shipowner, a portly gentleman, stood on the deck, watching the steward negotiate with the border patrol.

>

When Qin Sang came down, the ship owner greeted him with a smile. "Master Daoist, are you going down to admire the scenery again The border is a place of danger, we're only stopping here for one night, and tomorrow morning we'll set off. Master Daoist, please don't miss the time."

Qin Sang bowed and said, "These days, thank you for your hospitality, host. It's time for me to disembark."

On the ship, he never charged for his food and drink, always willing to help with anything. He even got his fare back from them.

"Get off the boat"

The shipowner was astonished. "Are you leaving, Daoist"

"There are no banquets that never end, we'll meet again," Qin Sang led his horse toward the shore.

‘Tap! Tap! Tap!’

The ship owner hurried to catch up, saying anxiously, "Daoist master, you and Little Five are traveling the world. It's inconvenient for you. Why don't you find a place to stay so that Little Five doesn't have to wander about with you, exposed to wind and rain You can just stay on my ship. Food, lodging, everything is provided. You can do whatever you want. I'll also find a teacher for Little Five to educate her in reading and writing, so she won't worry about making a living in the future..."

>

Qin Sang didn't mean to stop. "Don't worry, Master," he said. "Take the medicine according to my prescription and you will recover your strength and return to your prime. However, all medicine has side effects. You are getting older now, so in the future, it's best to be moderate."

The shipowner blushed furiously and smiled wryly, saying: "It's all my fault for being young and ignorant, not understanding the ferocity of tigers and wolves. Now I have no match with four against two hands... Are you really determined to leave"

Qin Sang landed ashore and, looking back at the vast river surface, meaningfully said, "Though the scenery of the Fuchun River is beautiful, seeing it once is enough."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

After that, Qin Sang led his horse and joined the crowd.

The ship owner and all the people on board waved goodbye to Qin Sang until they could no longer see him.

There are still two months left until the Lei Xiao Convention.

Qin Sang strolled leisurely, accompanied by Xiao Wu, traveling through mountains and waters. Three days before the Lei Xiao Grand Assembly, they arrived at the former site of the Lei Xiao Sect.

The Leixiao Sect is located on the western border of Ji Nation, at the junction of wilderness and desolation.

To the west of Ji Guo, there are many mountains, and people are sparse. Across large tracts of barren mountains and forests, you will reach a new country.

As for the mortal world, this place has almost no border pressure, only needing to guard against bandits and robbers.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

However, Shinto must guard against mountain hermits and monsters who descend to cause chaos.

These days, three city gods of different states have led their troops to the front lines, ready for battle.

During its heyday, the Lei Xiao Sect was not only the first-rate sect in Ji Guo, but also held significant influence in neighboring countries. Few could rival its power.

The Lei Xiao Sect occupied an entire mountain range. After the split, it formed factions of various sizes scattered throughout the mountains.

>

This time, Qin Sang did not appear openly.

As the Lei Xiao Assembly approached, sects such as the Wuhui Gate set up strict checkpoints on the mountainside.

All those who enter the mountain must verify their identity and confirm their connection to the Leixiao sect before being allowed entry.

Among the mountain cultivators, the highest cultivation level was only the Nascent Soul Stage. Naturally, no one could discover Qin Sang.

Before Qin Sang even arrived at the venue of the conference, he had already investigated the entire program.

It turned out that someone had discovered a treasure in an old site of Leixiao Sect, and they also found what seemed to be the entrance to a secret realm.

This hidden realm is not mentioned in the records of Leixiaozong. Not a single descendant of Leixiaozong knows about it.

News of the secret realm spread, causing countless people to covet it. The descendants of the Lei Xiao Sect were most interested.

After all, Leixiao Sect scattered many scriptures and treasures back then, some of which are still missing to this day. There are many precious items, and some people have always suspected that they were hidden in a certain secret realm.

This incident almost triggered a bloody massacre. The Five Luminaries Gate and three other major sects joined forces to drive away the outsiders. After some unknown deliberations, they decided to hold a Lei Xiao Grand Assembly once every 50 years. Disciples would be sent into the secret realm, with their cultivation level limited to the early stage of foundation building or below.

Those who enter cannot help but fight, relying on their own abilities. No matter what treasures they bring out, others are forbidden to look.

However, sects like Wuhui Men would issue bounties. Wandering cultivators and cultivating families, if they could obtain valuable treasures within the secret realm and were willing to offer them up, could directly enter the sect.

For penniless cultivators seeking refuge, this is undoubtedly a chance to leap from the carp to the dragon gate. The Leixiao Grand Assembly is nothing short of an ascension gathering.

Qin Sang stood on a rock, looking at the opposite mountain peak teeming with people.

The entrance to the secret realm is just on the opposite mountain peak.

His gaze fell on the youngest cultivator at the outermost edge, clad in coarse robes. He seemed hesitant and anxious, yet brimming with anticipation—like he was looking at himself from years ago.

This trip down the mountain, memories from long ago, one after another, were brought back to mind.

As the last two days approached, fewer and fewer people went into the mountains.

It was the day of the Lei Xiao Assembly.

Early in the morning.

Distant thunder rumbled from the West, clouds swirled and clashed. A treasure ship, accompanied by a gigantic golden eagle, arrived together - it was the Man Lei School and the Jin Du Mountain.

A powerful pressure descended, and the mountains fell silent instantly.

Just then, an old man slowly rose into the air, resisting the pressure. He was the headmaster of the Wuhui Gate.

Please provide me with the text content you'd like me to translate. I can help you with that!

All parties gathered, the Leixiao Convention began.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The ceremony was very simple. Half an hour later, the cultivators who had entered the secret realm this time were brought to a stone wall.

The entrance to the secret realm is right here!

The three sect masters joined forces to cast a spell, opening the secret realm. The disciples swarmed in.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Each expert's eyes were sharp, scanning the disciples who entered the secret realm to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos.

But no one noticed Qin Sang and Xiao Wu, who were following behind the crowd.

The moment you pass through the entrance, ripples will spread throughout the secret realm, the stronger your cultivation level, the more intense the ripples.

This also indicates that the secret realm's restrictions are not stable. The three major sects worry that if experts enter and fight inside, it could lead to the collapse of the secret realm. That's why they used this method to resolve the dispute.

However, Qin Sang and Xiao Wu entered the secret realm without a ripple of disturbance.

Entering the secret realm means the killing begins.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Two Qi Refining period youths happened to land in the same place and immediately began fighting.

Both of them were itinerant cultivators, with treasures and magic arts being commonplace.

Finally, a young man emerged victorious with a resolute ferocity, killing his opponent. He wiped the blood from his face and sat for a while in stunned silence before remembering to search for spoils of war, his expression gradually brightening with excitement.

Qin Sang stood at a distance, silently watching this crude and utterly unrefined duel.

What's the point of looking at two little brats!

Zhu Que impatiently curled her lips.
