Chapter 102 Farewell
Xu Chong’s restrictions come from two aspects: one is the household registration, and the other is the speed of obtaining spiritual sources.
Now that you have the noble status, what’s missing is the latter.
If you stay in the Qianhu Suo, you can get the maximum rights, but it will not help the speed of obtaining spiritual energy.
Although there are many blessed places in the capital, one has to wait for vacancies to appear, and the vacancies that appear may not be in any of the blessed places.
As for the secondary capital, Xu Chong didn't know much about it, he only knew it was called Zhentianfu.
This made him feel a little troubled.
Dou Tianyuan said at the right time: "If you want to go to the capital, the chief guard can find a vacancy for you, but I suggest you go to the secondary capital."
"The secondary capital?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, clasped his fists and said, "Please enlighten me, sir."
"Um."
Dou Tianyuan nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Zhentian Prefecture, as a secondary capital, also has six ministries, five temples, two prisons, two courts, and one government office. However, because it is a secondary capital, these government offices are relatively idle if Your Majesty does not move."
"In fact, since the establishment of the secondary capital, Emperor Wan Kang has only moved there once, which has resulted in many vacancies in the secondary capital positions over the years."
"And the Imperial Observatory among them..."
Having said that, Dou Tianyuan smiled meaningfully.
"etc."
Prince Qian interrupted Dou Tianyuan and frowned: "You know what Yuan Jianzheng's attitude towards the royal family is, so you let him go to the Imperial Observatory?"
"You also said that the royal family is the royal family, and the descendants of the great ancestor are the descendants of the great ancestor."
Dou Tianyuan shrugged with an innocent look on his face.
"But there is no suitable position in the Imperial Observatory, right?"
Prince Qian looked at Dou Tianyuan suspiciously, "Even if he is the deputy supervisor, he is only a sixth-rank official... Do you want him to force Supervisor Yuan back to the capital?"
"I didn't say that."
Dou Tianyuan waved his hand, paused, and his eyes became weird: "But, what if it works?"
"this……"
King Qian pondered for a while and accepted this statement, "It seems that we can give it a try."
Swish.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Chong with shining eyes.
"…Can I refuse?"
Xu Chong was already confused by the conversation between the two, and now he was even more alert.
Who knows what kind of love-hate relationship Yuan Jianzheng has with the royal family. What if he gets into trouble?
"Don't be nervous, Yuan Jianzheng is a very nice person."
King Qian forced a stiff smile.
"it is true ."
Dou Tianyuan patted his chest and said, "I am willing to use my life as a guarantee."
Xu Chong: “…”
One was obviously guilty, and the other was going too far.
I don't believe you!
"Okay, I'll be frank."
Dou Tianyuan helplessly spread his hands, "Yuan Jianzheng's full name is Yuan Shouyi. He was once the director of the Imperial Observatory in the capital. He was also the childhood companion of the current emperor."
"Later, due to some unknown reason, Yuan Jianzheng and His Majesty... to put it bluntly, they had a falling out, and in a fit of rage, he fled to the secondary capital. Well, if you count the time, it has been twenty-eight years."
"If you can get Yuan Jianzheng back to Beijing, although there won't be any obvious credit for it, but..."
Dou Tianyuan blinked: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Chong nodded helplessly.
This matter is easy to understand. It's nothing more than two old children throwing tantrums. One of them can't bow his head, and the other is unwilling to bow his head.
If he could help the two of them reconcile, Emperor Qing, who was high above all other living beings, would definitely remember his favor.
But the question is, do I need this favor?
Besides, it might not be a good thing for Emperor Qing to remember me...
Seeing Xu Chong still looking reluctant, Dou Tianyuan had an idea and said, "Besides, going to the Imperial Observatory will also be of direct benefit to you."
"Yep."
Prince Qian also reacted and nodded, saying, "The Imperial Observatory in the secondary capital is a lower-grade blessed place. Not only can it greatly increase your cultivation speed, but its rules will also be very helpful to your subsequent realms."
Blessed land?
Wouldn't it have been over if you had said this earlier?
Xu Chong straightened his back and said with a heroic look: "I will not regret dying for helping you two adults."
King Qian: “…”
Dou Tianyuan: “…”
"Ahem, I wonder what the rules of the Imperial Observatory's blessed land are?"
Xu Chong touched his nose and asked.
"Calming your mind and soothing your heart will make your subsequent realm more stable. You are not a noble yet..."
Halfway through his speech, Dou Tianyuan shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll be a little tired in a while. I'll use other methods to return to Beijing and get your household registration today."
"The realm above Tongmai is called body washing."
"Use your strength to cleanse yourself and lay the foundation for the path of martial arts... In fact, I think it is more appropriate to call this state refining the mind."
"Because cleansing oneself includes not only the body, but also the mind."
"During the entire process of the Body Cleansing Realm, you will be constantly attacked by your seven emotions and six desires, and you will be unable to control your own behavior."
At this point, Dou Tianyuan changed the subject and asked: "Why is the Taiping Dao classified as a traitor?"
"Rebellion against the imperial court is one reason."
"Another reason is that the people in Taiping Dao are mixed. Many of them are incompetent and rely on external forces to improve. These people improve their realm too quickly. They commit numerous evil deeds before they even reach the Body Cleansing Realm. Once they break through the Body Cleansing Realm, they will be killed on the spot by the backlash of desire. If they don't die, they will be considered a great evil that brings disaster to the people."
"Uh... With your breakthrough speed, similar situations should have occurred before, right?"
Dou Tianyuan looked at Xu Chong curiously, "I don't know who woke you up, you are lucky."
Speaking of this, I have to mention a traitor...
Xu Chong complained secretly.
"In short, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory's rules for calming the mind can greatly reduce the pressure you feel in the Body Cleansing Realm."
King Qian added, "You will experience it when the time comes."
"I see."
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, " What is above the martial arts? Can this noble family know?"
"You can remember most of the secrets..."
Prince Qian opened his mouth to explain, but Dou Tianyuan raised his hand to stop him before he could finish his words.
"Ask Yuan Jianzheng for the rest. It'll be a good opportunity to improve our relationship."
Dou Tianyuan said with a wicked smile.
Xu Chong felt depressed for a while, then asked, "What should I do after I go there to make Yuan Jianzheng return to Beijing?"
"It's up to you to figure it out."
Dou Tianyuan shook his head, "Don't feel pressured. If it succeeds, that's the best. If it doesn't, wait until you reach the ninth level of the Body Cleansing Stage, and then transfer back to the capital."
"That's good……"
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, that's just two things."
King Qian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, and leave for Zhentian Prefecture as soon as possible."
"All right."
Xu Chong reluctantly stood up and left.
After he left, Prince Qian and Dou Tianyuan's expressions became serious at the same time.
" I think……"
Dou Tianyuan spoke first, "He probably doesn't know ."
"I think so."
King Qian nodded. "He doesn't look like he deliberately didn't mention it. Instead, he seems to be completely unaware of the existence of the fragment of Changshengtian."
Neither of them is stupid.
At this point, it has been speculated through clues that Wei Wuxie died at the hands of Xu Chong.
Since Wei Wuxie is dead, what about the fragments of Changshengtian?
There are only two possibilities.
Or it doesn't exist at all.
Xu Chong killed people just because he wanted to kill people.
If it exists, it must be on Xu Chong.
"fine."
Dou Tianyuan smiled in appreciation, "At least this proves that his purpose in killing people is very pure, and he is not someone who would do anything to gain profit."
"But the problem is that his identity as the descendant of Taizu cannot be concealed. It will definitely attract attention, and the things he did before..."
Prince Qian frowned slightly, "If the fragment of Changshengtian is not on him at all, but he has brought disaster upon himself, isn't it an unprovoked disaster?"
"Just erase the memories of Ge Wanshan and Duan Rufeng after you go back. Currently, only the two of them can guess what is on the fragment of Changshengtian. Don't worry about the others."
Dou Tianyuan waved his hand indifferently, "This kid is very cunning. Until now, I don't know how many tricks he has hidden."
"oh?"
King Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you see that move of picking stars?"
"But how did he learn to reach the stars?"
Dou Tianyuan asked, "Don't forget that this martial art has been extended to other arts... There are descendants of the great ancestors who have appeared in history, and some have stronger talents than him, but none of them have such a terrifying understanding as him, right?"
"……really."
Prince Qian was also somewhat puzzled. "Due to the limitations of Taizu's bloodline, even if he had the fragments of Changshengtian, it could only speed up his breakthrough, but it would not improve his comprehension... Could it be that he already has an extremely high comprehension?"
"Let's not talk about my comprehension for now, let's talk about the bloodline of my great ancestor..."
Dou Tianyuan's tone became a little heavy, "How much life do you have left?"
He clearly remembered that King Qian was ten years younger than him.
Now he looks like he is about to die, with even his white beard dragging on the ground.
"Maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe five years."
Prince Qian looked calm, as if he didn't care at all. "There's nothing we can do. Taizu's bloodline is to exchange life for power. Even the rules of longevity are powerless to reverse it... You should stop acting like a child. It's disgusting."
“…”
Dou Tianyuan choked, his face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "If I didn't have to upgrade that kid's household registration, I really wanted you to walk back by yourself."
"childish."
Prince Qian had an indifferent expression and a disdainful tone.
Dou Tianyuan's face trembled violently. He immediately stood up, pushed the door open, and went in first.
King Qian stood up slowly and took a step forward.
Then……
Appeared in a lowest-class brothel.
Dozens of pairs of disheveled men and women were performing obscene actions, staring at him with dull faces.
King Qian covered his face and walked away.
"Redskin! I%#@¥@##¥@!!!"
…
…
"you are leaving?"
Ge Wanshan looked stunned.
"If you don't want to leave, I can stay here and be a thousand households."
Xu Chong smiled faintly.
"Uh...then you should go."
Ge Wanshan was extremely depressed, "You kid, you deceived me badly."
By now, he had completely understood.
There is no such thing as Wei Wuxie or Duan Wuxie... they are all impersonated by this kid Xu Chong!
"It's a helpless move because of the situation."
Xu Chong cupped his hands as an apology.
"No, don't!"
Ge Wanshan dodged and said, "Your current identity is probably beyond my imagination. What's more, I can see that you have no intention of harming me."
"In that case, I will take my leave now."
Xu Chong bowed again.
"etc."
Ge Wanshan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How long did it take you to master the ability to be greedy for light?"
"About... a month?"
Xu Chong thought about it and felt that it would be better not to discourage others.
Then Ge Wanshan was hit.
One month?
How many years did it take you to become greedy for light?
Three years, five years, ten years?
It seems that there is more than just...
Ge Wanshan's expression changed constantly. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you can develop this skill into a side skill in the future, can you teach it to me? I am willing to treat you as my disciple..."
"no."
Xu Chong shook his head.
"……I see."
Ge Wanshan lowered his head, his eyes a little dim.
"You are too old, exceeding my standards for accepting a disciple."
Xu Chong blinked, "But there's no problem in exchanging ideas."
Ge Wanshan was stunned and immediately overjoyed.
Just as I raised my head to thank him, Xu Chong was no longer in sight.
