Chapter 139: Hong Xuan is destroyed and the new emperor is established
"Then why can't I be from another dynasty?"
Jiang Changsheng stared at the old monk and asked. There must be a reason why the old monk hid in the mountains, so he had to ask.
The old monk shook his head and said, "I trust my intuition."
Jiang Changsheng asked with a smile: "I wonder where the master came from and why he built a temple in such a deep mountain?"
The old monk sighed and said, "Amitabha, I came from Tianhai and have no choice but to hide here. First, I want to avoid Tianhai's pursuit, and second, I want to borrow the prestige of Daozu. I am afraid that going to crowded places will easily lead to disasters. It is better for me to hide in the mountains to recuperate, and chant sutras for monsters and evil spirits on weekdays to eliminate their evil nature."
Tianhai?
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are we chasing you?"
"My sect obtained a treasure, which aroused envy from others. However, without the support of the Dongtian Realm, it was massacred and its sect was destroyed. Only I escaped." The old monk said sadly.
He then said, "If the Taoist does not want me to stay in Dajing, I am willing to leave. If the Taoist is willing to take me in, I am willing to offer my treasure, but such a treasure may easily bring trouble to Dajing."
Jiang Changsheng asked with great interest: "Can you let me see what treasure it is?"
The old monk immediately pulled out a bead from his sleeve. The bead was the size of a baby's fist, dark green in color, and faintly glowed red. He introduced, "This is the Monster Gathering Bead. It is the power of the ancient Monster King. It can gather all the monsters in the world for its own use. However, once it is used, there will definitely be strange phenomena, so it is easy to be exposed. Even if you don't use the Monster Gathering Bead, it is easy to attract monsters."
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand, and with a move in the air, he took the Demon Gathering Pearl into his hand and investigated it with his divine sense.
Faced with Jiang Changsheng's robbery, the old monk was not panicked but remained calm.
Jiang Changsheng discovered that this pearl was indeed condensed from powerful demonic power and was extremely vast. There was also a trace of the remaining soul of a demon beast hidden inside it, which was in a deep sleep. This soul was extremely weak and difficult to wake up.
It is hard to imagine what kind of powerful monster can condense such a bead.
"Among the strong men who want to obtain the Demon Gathering Pearl, how strong is the strongest one?"
Jiang Changsheng asked silently in his heart. He didn't ask anyone because he was afraid that monsters or evil spirits might want to steal it.
[Need to consume 500,000 incense points, do you want to continue?]
really!
Not only Tianhai is fighting for it, there are even more powerful beings. The strongest person in Tianhai is worth no more than 200,000.
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to accept it. If he didn't accept it, the pearl would definitely bring trouble to Dajing. It would be better to keep it in his hands. Maybe he could use it to command monsters to fight in the future.
He said, "After you recover from your injury, will you leave Dajing?"
The old monk immediately said, "It's all up to Daozu. If Daozu needs me to leave, I will leave. If Daozu wants me to stay, I will stay."
"Are you really willing to give me such a precious treasure?"
"I have been in Dajing for a long time and have observed Daozu. You have been practicing in seclusion for many years and have never hurt the people of Dajing. You have also called the wind and rain for the people of Dajing. With such behavior, you must not be a treacherous and evil person. You can even kill me and take the pearl, but you didn't do it. I am not greedy for the Monster Gathering Pearl, but I don't want it to fall into the hands of evil people. If the powerful cave master in Tianhai gets the Monster Gathering Pearl and gathers countless sea monsters, the world will usher in a catastrophe."
"Aren't you afraid that I might do the same?"
"You care about the people of Dajing. Just based on this, you will not use the Monster Gathering Pearl recklessly. Once you use it, innocent people will definitely be devoured by monsters."
The old monk faced Jiang Changsheng calmly, without a trace of fear or begging.
Jiang Changsheng threw the demon-gathering bead into the giant spirit ring and said, "If you want to stay in Dajing , then stay. Remember, don't hurt the people. If I find you, I can kill you no matter where you run to."
Jiang Changsheng turned around and prepared to leave.
"Daozu, please stay!"
The old monk hurriedly called him. He turned his head and saw the old monk walking behind the Buddha statue, holding out two kittens, and coming in front of Jiang Changsheng.
"I heard that there are spirit snakes and spirit wolves in Longqi Temple. This is enough to prove that you, Daozu, have a heart of benevolence and justice towards all living beings. You might as well take these two little guys in. They have extraordinary talents. Ordinary monsters will lose their minds when attracted by the Monster Gathering Pearl, but they won't."
The old monk said seriously, and Jiang Changsheng's eyes fell on the two kittens.
These two kittens look no different from country kittens, one orange and one black. Judging from their size, they should be four or five months old.
Jiang Changsheng used his divine sense to check and found that the two kittens were indeed not simple and that demonic power was accumulating in their bodies.
He took it immediately, turned around and left, disappearing in two steps.
"If you want to establish a sect in Dajing, I will not stop you, as long as you can benefit Dajing. As a master of Qiankun Realm, why do you need to stay in the deserted mountains for a long time? If you are afraid of enemies, you can go to Sizhou to establish a sect."
Jiang Changsheng's voice echoed in the small temple. The old monk did not smile after hearing it, but instead looked worried.
…
Before returning to the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng first let his clone leave the courtyard, merge with himself, and then return to the courtyard.
He put down the two kittens in his hands and said, "Bai Qi, you will be responsible for taking care of them from now on."
Bai Qi, who was dozing off, suddenly sat up and looked around in confusion.
The Sword God's gaze fell on the two kittens on the ground and observed them carefully. He believed that Jiang Changsheng would not pick up ordinary wild cats, like Baiqi and Bailong, who were both monsters with extraordinary talents.
Not all wild beasts can become demon beasts, but the descendants of demon beasts are often more likely to cultivate and become demons.
When Bai Qi saw the two kittens, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I'm worried that my life is boring.
Jiang Changsheng didn't care much about it. He sat down in front of the Earth Spirit Tree and began to build the Dao Realm, at least to make it look neat and less messy.
I have to say, it feels like playing a construction and farming game, which is quite interesting.
Just like that, two little demon cats appeared in the courtyard.
A few days later, Jiang Changsheng gave them names. The little orange cat was named Huangtian and the little black cat was named Heitian. Both were males, and Huangtian looked slightly older.
Baiqi teases them every day, adding a bit of liveliness to the courtyard.
…
In the fourteenth year of Ren De, early January.
Jiang Jian and Ping An rushed into the imperial city. Emperor Hong Xuan was smashed into a pulp by Ping An's hammer, and blood flowed like a river in the palace.
In February, civil and military officials from all over the Hongxuan Dynasty surrendered one after another. Thus, the Hongxuan Dynasty was destroyed. It had been established for 207 years and had a total of 12 emperors.
When this news spread to Dajing, the whole world cheered, and the reputation of Jiang Xiu and Jiang Jian reached its peak.
In the imperial study.
Jiang Xiu, who was about to
He reigned for fourteen years and conquered the next Yun Dynasty. The economy and people's livelihood of Dajing did not collapse, but flourished instead. This achievement will definitely go down in history. Even if he is not as good as Jing Taizong, the gap will not be too big!
How many years!
Jiang Xiu often woke up from his dreams. He always dreamed of the late emperor, who asked him when he could unify the world.
"Hahaha--"
Jiang Xiu laughed wildly, showing his high spirits, but as he laughed he began to cough violently.
The white-clothed guard kneeling in front of the table quickly stood up and supported him. His blood rushed up, causing his face to turn red, and eventually blood spurted out and he fainted.
…
night.
Jiang Changsheng sat beside Jiang Xiu's bed with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Jiang Xiu's face was pale. He said weakly, "Grandpa, don't feel sad for me. I knew this day would come. In fact, my health was already failing many years ago. Thanks to your elixir, I lived to the stage of making more achievements... I have no regrets..."
He grasped Jiang Changsheng's hand tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Grandpa, I want to depose the crown prince and let Tiansheng ascend the throne. Although he is young, Chen Li will assist him... Please allow me..."
He knew Jiang Changsheng's taboos and didn't want the country to be in chaos or the Jiang family to fight each other, but he had no choice.
Jiang Changsheng sighed and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
Jiang Xiu smiled and murmured, "If it is passed on to Tiansheng, perhaps Dajing will become stronger instead of weaker..."
After an incense stick of time, Jiang Changsheng returned to Longqi Mountain. The grandfather and grandson didn't have much to talk about, so he decided to spend time with Jiang Xiu and Jiang Tiansheng.
When Bai Qi saw him appear, he quickly asked, "What happened to the emperor?"
Jiang Changsheng sat down and said calmly: "The deadline has come."
Bai Qi was silent.
The Sword God is not surprised, as emperors of dynasties always have short lives, not to mention that Emperor Dajing has many descendants, so there is no need to worry about no one to take over the throne.
But he was curious about who would be the next emperor, the incompetent crown prince, or the young prince who would inherit the throne of the Human King.
The other side.
Jiang Xiu summoned Jiang Tiansheng, and the ten-year-old Jiang Tiansheng immediately lay down in front of Jiang Xiu's couch, sobbing softly.
No matter how smart he is, he is still just a child after all, and it is difficult for him to accept his father's death.
Jiang Xiu touched his head and said, "Tian Sheng, father will tell you something. You must remember it well and pass it on to the next crown prince. This is the biggest secret of the Jiang family and the Jiang family's greatest confidence. It must not be broken..."
Jiang Tiansheng looked up and stared at Jiang Xiu with his red eyes.
Jiang Xiu began to tell the story.
As he listened, Jiang Tiansheng's eyes widened and a look of shock appeared on his face.
This night is destined to be difficult for many people to fall asleep.
Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Tianmin wandered anxiously in the lobby.
At this time, a eunuch walked in quickly, and Jiang Tianmin asked hurriedly: "Where is the imperial edict? Where is the imperial edict!"
The eunuch trembled and said, "There is no imperial decree... His Majesty met with the Twelfth Prince alone..."
Jiang Tianmin's eyes suddenly turned red, filled with hatred.
At this moment, he just felt like the sky was falling.
He even felt an endless murderous intent in his heart.
He immediately walked out of the Prince's Mansion and looked for trustworthy masters, but without exception, they all rejected him.
No one was willing to kill Jiang Tiansheng for him.
late at night.
Jiang Tianmin walked alone on the street, feeling completely dazed. He knew that he had lost miserably.
Endless hatred turned into unprecedented regret, and he finally understood that he had no one to blame but himself. After serving as the crown prince for so many years, he did not have his own team or confidants. If this got out, it would be a joke.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became.
In the end, he lost all hope and could only resign himself to his fate.
