Chapter 129: The Second in the World, the Mountain Guarding Snake
"The emperor is quite good, just like his reign title. He is indeed benevolent and cares about the people. However, in recent years, he has insisted on carrying on the will of the previous emperor to expand the territory. I wonder if the war will affect the lives of the people in Dajing."
The waiter sighed and said that this was also the idea of most people in Beijing.
They possess the resources of 72 states and live a happy life. Naturally, they hope for peace and prosperity in the country and less war.
Although people were dissatisfied with the emperor's conquests, no one denied his achievements.
The fact that the people could talk about it like this was enough to show the emperor's kindness. If it were Emperor Jing Taizong, he would be beheaded for making irresponsible comments about the emperor.
"The late emperor's last will? Wasn't Emperor Jingwen a tyrant who loved to enjoy himself?" Jiang Luo asked in surprise.
The waiter was even more surprised and said, "Sir, what Emperor Jingwen? The previous emperor was Emperor Jingtaizong. The Qianwu year has long passed. Now it is the eighth year of Rende."
The eighth year of Ren De...
Jiang Luo was like being struck by lightning. His whole body froze and his face became extremely ugly.
The waiter was frightened and quickly retreated, closing the door.
Jiang Luo walked to the table and sat down. He put his right hand on the table, clenched it into a fist, and tried hard to control his emotions.
He originally thought that he didn't care about this family relationship, but when he heard that his father had passed away, he was still upset.
I can’t tell whether I’m sad or angry.
"How could you die so early... couldn't you wait for your son, or have you forgotten me..."
Jiang Luo muttered to himself, and his lips began to turn white.
He specifically calculated his age, fearing that Jiang Ziyu would not live past a hundred, but he did not expect that Jiang Ziyu died so early.
At this moment, Jiang Luo felt more lonely than ever before.
The four sages are dead, and his father is also dead. He really has no relatives in this world. Who of his brothers remembers him?
Jiang Luo looked towards the palace with complicated eyes.
Soon, he made a decision.
At night, he would go to the palace to see the current emperor.
…
Jiang Changsheng stood up, looked at Baiqi in the medicine cauldron, and then looked towards the capital.
"The aura of the Qiankun Realm, why are there so many Qiankun Realm these days..."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently, and he secretly hoped that the other party was here to challenge him.
Qiankun Realm is so powerful, it is impossible that he is here for tourism.
However, the aura of this Qiankun Realm master is a bit erratic, far inferior to that of the Sword God.
Jiang Changsheng then discovered Jiang Luo's reincarnation mark. This kid was right next to the guy in the Qiankun realm. Could it be that the guy in the Qiankun realm was the Evil Lord?
The Sword God did not notice the arrival of the Evil Lord. He stood in front of the medicine cauldron, concerned about Jiang Jian's condition, and Ping An was also joining in the fun.
After staying in the mountains for a long time, the Sword God unknowingly fell in love with Jiang Jian. He felt that they had similar personalities and treated Jiang Jian as his grandson. He was also worried that something might happen to Jiang Jian. Of course, he was more looking forward to Jiang Jian's future.
He believed that as long as Jiang Jian continued to grow smoothly, he would definitely become the best in the world!
No, second best.
Jiang Changsheng was not worried about Jiang Jian. This guy had a low-end version of the Eye of the Avenue, so how could he die so easily?
Night is gradually falling.
Jiang Changsheng was teaching Bai Qi how to practice martial arts when he suddenly felt something and looked towards the palace with his eyes narrowed.
How did this kid get into the palace?
Jiang Changsheng began to pay attention to the situation in the palace. After all, Jiang Luo grew up in Xiansheng Cave Heaven and did not have a deep relationship with his brothers and sisters. They could even be said to be strangers . In addition, he had been wandering with Xie Zun for many years, so he was worried that Jiang Luo would harm his brothers.
If that was the case, then he had to take action.
Of course , he didn't want to kill Jiang Luo, but to lock him up in the mountains and discipline him. After all, Jiang Luo's life was indeed very hard and it was easy for him to go astray.
…
Inside the palace.
Jiang Luo moved forward quickly. He found that although the security in the palace was strict, there were not many experts.
"You are too lax as an emperor, aren't you afraid that the enemy will kill you in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Luo secretly felt disdainful and quite dissatisfied with the emperor.
He groped his way along and finally found the imperial study.
It is said that the emperor is diligent in his work, so he should not have gone to bed yet. Sure enough, the oil lamp in the imperial study was still on, and many eunuchs and white-clad guards gathered outside the door.
He cautiously came to the window of the imperial study, and using some unknown martial arts, he turned into the same color as the wall.
He quietly leaned over and looked into the window. Jiang Xiu was facing him sideways, reviewing memorials.
Looking at the profile that looked like his own, Jiang Luo was in a trance.
The emperor was indeed him.
Jiang Xiu was obviously very tired. He kept yawning and his eyes were tired. He poured a pill from the medicine bottle on the table and swallowed it, then patted his face and continued to review the memorials.
There were memorials piled up in several layers on the table, and there were also many on the ground.
Seeing Jiang Xiu being so diligent, Jiang Luo's dissatisfaction gradually faded.
Just at this moment!
Jiang Luo suddenly jumped up, and saw the Thief God falling from the sky and landing in front of the windowsill with a dagger in his hand.
The thief turned his head and looked at Jiang Luo who had landed on the wall. He asked in a deep voice, "How dare you break into the palace? Are you looking for death?"
Jiang Xiu was startled and immediately got up and went to the window sill.
Jiang Luo had his back to the bright moon, so others couldn't see his face clearly, but Jiang Luo could see Jiang Xiu's face clearly.
They are twins, but Jiang Luo has not seen Jiang Xiu since they were born.
They should have been best brothers, but now they are like strangers.
Jiang Luo felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
A large number of white-clad guards rushed over and spread out in all directions, surrounding Jiang Luo. Even on the eaves of the palace, there were white-clad guards.
Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Luo, his heart trembling inexplicably. For some reason, he always felt that the other party was not an assassin. He immediately said, "Catch him, don't hurt him."
The God of Thieves immediately rushed towards Jiang Luo, who leaped directly into the night sky, looking down at everyone.
Godly man!
Everyone's heart sank.
Jiang Luo looked at Jiang Xiu for a while, then turned and left. There was no god in the palace, so no one could stop him.
In front of the window, Jiang Xiu's eyes became complicated, and he murmured: "Is it you..."
Anyone who could leave the palace safely must be a member of the Jiang family. After all, my grandfather did not do anything.
The only godly person in the Jiang family is Jiang Jian, but it is impossible for Jiang Jian to peek at him late at night.
There is one more person.
A forgotten member of the Jiang family.
…
Jiang Changsheng watched Jiang Luo leave the palace. Seeing that Jiang Luo did not hurt anyone, he roughly understood what this boy was thinking.
How stupid.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
Jiang Luo did not sleep all night in his bedroom.
Until Xie Zun found him and asked him if he wanted to go to Longqi Temple with him.
Jiang Luo was also very interested in Daozu. He tore off a piece of cloth, tied it on his forehead to cover the birthmark, then changed his appearance and followed Xiezun to Longqi Temple.
The master and his disciple arrived at Wufeng and lined up to go up the mountain. Jiang Luo was shocked to see that Wufeng was so lively and the pilgrims lined up in a long queue .
"With so many people going up the mountain, does Longqi Temple still care about the money for incense offerings?"
Jiang Luo murmured, he couldn't understand.
This is the sacred place of Dajing.
Xie Zun smiled and said, "The actions of Daozu cannot be guessed."
The master and disciple went up the mountain.
An hour later, they finally arrived at the mountain gate. Xie Zun did not challenge Daozu, but queued up to buy incense.
At this time, an old man came out of the mountain gate, holding a broom in his hand. He walked all the way to the two Xie Zun, his eyes fell on Jiang Luo, and said: "Daozu wants to see you, come with me."
Xie Zun narrowed his eyes and found that he could not see through this person.
The Sword God also glanced at Xie Zun, and his intuition told him that the other party was also in the Qiankun realm.
Jiang Luo was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xie Zun.
Xie Zun smiled and said, "Go ahead, I will take a look around by myself."
Jiang Luo took a deep breath and immediately followed the Sword God into the meditation.
The pilgrims around were in an uproar, and the disciples looked at Jiang Luo in surprise.
Who is this person and how could he be personally received by the Taoist Ancestor?
Along the way, Jiang Luo was very nervous. Daozu's reputation was so loud that even his master didn't dare to confront him head-on. He was scared and took him to Tianhai. How could he not be nervous?
"Why does he want to see me?"
"Did he see through my disguise?"
"Or is it because I sneaked into the palace last night?"
When Jiang Luo thought about what happened last night, he suddenly felt scared and thought he was too reckless.
The emperor was far from lax. He simply relied on the presence of Daozu and had nothing to fear.
The Sword God had his back to him, secretly wondering why the Dao Ancestor wanted to see this kid instead of the one in the Qiankun Realm.
The two of them walked in silence as they left Wufeng, crossed the overpass, and arrived at Longqi Mountain.
As soon as they entered Longqi Mountain, the fairy mist filled the air, making Jiang Luo even more nervous as the visibility here was very low.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a huge monster surging in the fairy mist. It was definitely not an illusion. He even felt that something was staring at him, which made him shudder.
"Don't worry, the mountain guardian snake is curious about you. It has a gentle personality and won't hurt you."
The Sword God's voice floated over, making Jiang Luo even more curious.
Mountain guardian snake?
How strong?
After a while, they finally arrived at Jiang Changsheng's courtyard.
“It hurts!”
As soon as Jiang Luo arrived, he heard Bai Qi screaming. After entering the courtyard, he saw two medicine cauldrons. A man was sitting in meditation in the big cauldron, and a burly man who looked like a monster was standing guard next to the cauldron. A white dog was fluttering in the small cauldron, and a young Taoist with an extraordinary temperament was holding its head down, so it couldn't break free.
Jiang Luo's eyes fell on the face of the young Taoist priest.
He was amazed. Even though he was also a man, he thought Jiang Chang was handsome, with an appearance that surpassed that of an ordinary person, and so was his temperament.
After the Sword God entered the courtyard, he started sweeping the floor and ignored Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo felt uneasy and didn't know what to do.
Jiang Changsheng didn't look at him, but his voice floated over: "Stinky boy, why don't you come over? Do you really need the master to invite you?"
Hearing Jiang Changsheng calling him a bad boy, Jiang Luo was shocked and felt inexplicably sad.
It turns out that there are still people in this world who remember me.
Jiang Jian opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Luo in confusion. Bai Qi also forgot the pain and turned to look at Jiang Luo.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Luo took a deep breath, walked up to Jiang Changsheng and bowed.
Jiang Changsheng turned around and said with a smile: "Jian'er, this is your second brother, Jiang Luo."
Jiang Jian's eyes widened, and he immediately stood up, the potion splashing all over the ground. He shouted in surprise, "Second brother, you are finally back! I had been thinking about going to Xiansheng Cave Heaven to avenge you, but I haven't reached the Golden Body Realm, and my master wouldn't let me go down the mountain."
Hearing this, Jiang Luo felt even more complicated and looked at Jiang Jian in disbelief.
He didn't recognize Jiang Jian, but he realized that he was his own brother and that he still cared about him, which touched him and made him feel ashamed.
Jiang Luo looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked, "How do you know what happened to me?"
