"An extraordinary junior?"
Xu Chong curled his lips, "Well, it's really amazing that he dares to get involved with the imperial court."
"Getting involved with the imperial court?"
Lin Kuang's expression instantly became interesting. After a while, he slowly spoke in a low voice: "How did you get involved with the imperial court?"
Xu Chong immediately became alert and said, "It's just a rumor, don't take it to heart."
"Rumor has it..."
Lin Kuang looked at Xu Chong deeply, "The Imperial Prison is a cave, and this is the deepest part of the Imperial Prison. No matter who it is, even Dou Tianyuan, the controller, unless he goes down to the seventh floor himself, he will not be able to hear our conversation."
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes and did not respond.
Currently, the only people who have speculated that "Ji Qingzhi is Emperor Qing's man" and believe this are Lou Youzhi, Dou Tianyuan, and myself.
This matter is of great importance. Unless there is sufficient basis of trust, it is best not to tell anyone.
"Whatever."
Lin Kuang sighed, feeling somewhat bored.
In the following days, Lin Kuang became much quieter.
It seemed like he was recalling something, or thinking about something, and he didn't even write poetry.
Xu Chong found himself a little uncomfortable.
But he also had things to do.
Eat fire moss.
Except for sleeping, he spent almost all his time eating.
There is no way around it. The toxicity of fire moss means that eating this kind of food has a CD. If you eat a portion of it continuously, even your swallowing ability will be paralyzed. You need to slow down and wait for the toxin to penetrate deeply and reach the meridians and acupoints before you can continue eating.
The only advantage is that fire moss is extremely pure. Apart from toxins, water and energy, there are no impurities, which saves the effort of sewage disposal.
And so, time passed day by day.
For some reason, Lin Kuang's attention gradually shifted to Xu Chong, and his eyes became more and more strange.
After about three months, Lin Kuang finally couldn't help but speak.
"I really want to know what's going on out there."
"However, I know you don't believe me, and I also know you have many concerns."
"It's okay. I'll tell you my story first. If you think you can trust me, you can tell me."
Lin Kuang's voice was extremely serious and earnest.
This made Xu Chong serious as well, but he didn't show it on his face.
"As I said before, I am from the Lin family, one of the three major families."
"But I am not a direct descendant. I am just a member of a branch clan who was born on a ship."
"Oh, you may not know that the Lin, Zheng, and Fang families do not need to rely on ships. No one knows the location of the real clan land except the direct descendants."
"The leader of the Taiping Dao is usually the outstanding branch of the three families who take turns to serve."
"More than 20 years ago, it was the Lin family's turn, and I was the most outstanding member of the Lin family's branch at that time."
"The techniques I practice are Liu Shui Jin, Fu Bo Gong, and Xuan Hai Xi Shen Lu."
"The characteristic is that the strength is like waves piling up layer by layer, which can open up the meridians and cleanse the body more smoothly..."
Lin Kuang was talking to himself, but Xu Chong frowned.
"etc."
Xu Chong interrupted, wondering, "It's fine as to what happened with the three major families, there must be people who know about it, but things like cultivation techniques are family secrets, right? Just tell me like that?"
"The technique is a secret, but it is not a secret of the Lin family."
Lin Kuang shook his head, "Because this is just a technique practiced by the side branch... What's more, if I want you to trust me and tell me what I want to know, naturally I have to tell you some secrets."
"All right."
Xu Chong did not comment.
"In fact, although my cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, it is not considered to be the best among the Lin family's side branches, and it is not even outstanding. Logically speaking, it is not my turn to be the Taoist master anyway."
Lin Kuang continued, "Until I took a different path and chose a different path from everyone else - the Purple Mansion Seed Path."
"Um?"
Xu Chong's heart was slightly moved, "It is said that the Purple Mansion cultivation path is extremely dangerous, you..."
“It is indeed dangerous.”
Lin Kuang nodded, "The Purple Mansion is too fragile. If there is a slight mistake, one will either die or become an idiot. This is like those who have successfully cultivated the Dao without making any mistakes, and those who have made mistakes have no chance to tell others what the mistakes are. Therefore, those who come after cannot learn from the experience of their predecessors. No matter who they are, they can only cross the river by feeling the stones."
"Then you dare to choose this?"
Xu Chong was surprised.
"There is no other way. I was born into a side family and my talent is not as strong as others. If I want to achieve great things, I have to find another way."
Lin Kuang shrugged and said as a matter of course, "Whether it is the imperial court or the Taiping Dao, the Zifu Seed Dao is highly valued."
"oh?"
Xu Chong responded indifferently, not surprised by this.
"Zifu cultivation can help you avoid disaster and seek good fortune."
Lin Kuang continued to explain, "This kind of ability is needed by every force."
"So, after you successfully cultivated the Dao, you attracted the attention of the direct lineage and received more training?"
Xu Chong followed up the conversation and asked.
"That's right, but it's also because I worked hard enough that I was able to ascend to the position of Dao Master step by step."
Lin Kuang chuckled, "Look at Nan Ruyi from the Nan family, she is about the same age as me. Twenty years ago, she had reached the ninth level of Yin Spirit Transformation, while I had reached the ninth level of Yang Spirit Transformation."
"After the ninth transformation of Yang Shen, didn't he still become a prisoner?"
Xu Chong pointed at Lin Kuang and said calmly: "Just these words won't make me believe you."
“I haven’t said the point yet.”
Lin Kuang shook his head and said, "You may not know that Yang Shen Jiubian can predict danger a long time in advance. Even if someone threatens me or is hostile to me, I can sense it instantly no matter how far away they are."
Xu Chong was shocked.
As long as there is hostility, it can be sensed no matter how far away they are?
This is countless times stronger than that Pure Heart Glass.
But the problem is...
With such powerful abilities, how come he was still caught by the imperial court?
"The imperial court... has paralyzed your perception?"
Xu Chong asked in a deep voice.
"No, I do feel a huge danger, a danger that is enough to kill me."
Lin Kuang shook his head, "But at the same time, I also feel a huge opportunity in this danger!"
"Chance?"
Xu Chong frowned.
"I didn't understand why at first and wanted to ignore it."
Lin Kuang sighed as he spoke, "But that opportunity is really too great. There has always been a voice in my head telling me that as long as I can get this thing, I will become the first person since the beginning of the world!"
Xu Chong squinted at Lin Kuang and asked, "If this isn't greed, what is it?"
"It's true that I was blinded by greed, but I wasn't carried away by it."
Lin Kuang ignored Xu Chong's contempt and continued, "I decided to take this risk only after I conducted a detailed investigation and thoroughly understood what this opportunity was."
What kind of opportunity could make the dignified Taiping Dao Master take the risk regardless of his own life?
Xu Chong's curiosity was completely aroused.
"This opportunity is the ownerless Eternal Heaven!"
Lin Kuang said slowly.
"Ownerless?"
Xu Chong was puzzled, "Isn't Changshengtian the cave heaven of Taiping Dao?"
Based on the recent dream and talking so much with Lin Kuang, he had long guessed that the previous owner of Changshengtian was not Ji Qingzhi, but Lin Kuang.
But now, the opportunity that caused Lin Kuang to fall into this state was the Changshengtian that was already in the hands of Taiping Dao?
"Um?"
Lin Kuang frowned, "The Taiping Dao does have a cave, but it's not the Changshengtian."
“…”
Xu Chong was silent.
"According to the Lin family's records, from ancient times to the present, Changshengtian has been circulating in the hands of different people. Each time, it appears mysteriously and lasts for a very short time. Then the owner dies mysteriously and Changshengtian disappears without a trace."
Lin Kuang shook his head and continued, "Besides, if Changshengtian had a master, it would not be perceived as an opportunity by Yangshen... It seems that after more than 20 years, the rumors outside have become more and more plausible."
"Is that so..."
Xu Chong frowned tightly, feeling that something was wrong.
"After investigation, I confirmed that the opportunity I felt that time was the Changshengtian who appeared again and was in an ownerless state. So, after thinking it over again and again, I decided to take a gamble."
As he said this, Lin Kuang laughed at himself, "The result is obvious, I lost the bet."
"……I do not understand."
Xu Chong looked at Lin Kuang quietly, "I once heard someone say that people with real background would not pursue Changshengtian, because the rules of longevity can only make people immortal, not immortal, and longevity in hiding is not valuable... You are obviously from one of the three major families, why do you still want to take this risk?"
"Because there is such a rumor circulating among the three major families."
Lin Kuang narrowed his eyes, his gaze was inexplicable, "Above the Yang God is the Immortal God!"
"Immortal God?"
Xu Chong was shocked by these three words.
"I don't know the details, but I think, since it is called the Immortal God, then wrapping the body with the Immortal God can resist all external damage?"
Lin Kuang's tone was deep, revealing a hint of longing, "If I could obtain Changshengtian again, and the two could become one..."
"!!!"
Xu Chong was completely shocked.
He had to be shocked.
If it is true as Lin Kuang speculated, the Immortal God wrapped in the flesh can be immune to all harm, plus the immortality rule of Changshengtian...
That would be true immortality!
"It seems you understand it too."
Lin Kuang chuckled, "Let me ask you, how deadly is the temptation of the ownerless Changshengtian to someone like me who has reached the ninth level of Yang Shen and is expected to break through further?"
"really……"
Xu Chong nodded slowly, his heart in turmoil, "What happened next?"
"Later, I successfully sneaked into the capital through the Taiping Dao and hid there. I secretly searched for the location of Changshengtian... and I did find it."
Lin Kuang said, his tone full of powerlessness: "Changshengtian is a lotus, growing in a pond... the pond outside the Imperial Prison."
"Imperial Prison..."
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "Is this a trap set for you by the court?"
"Yes, it's a trap."
Lin Kuang sighed, "But I still decided to take action, because the Blood Robe Guards commander-in-chief at that time was not as outrageously strong as Dou Tianyuan is now. As long as I get Changshengtian first and hide inside, I can wait until I become an Immortal God before coming out."
"Don't you know that the cave can be broken?"
Xu Chong frowned.
"I only found out after I experienced it. There was no such thing as a cave being shattered before..."
Lin Kuang was stunned for a moment, "If the Eternal Heaven hadn't exploded, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the cave heaven could be shattered... The cave heaven Xumi hides the mustard seed. Although it looks extremely small from the outside, there is really such a huge world inside. How can it be shattered?"
Xu Chong was stunned.
It seems that I have preconceived ideas.
Lin Kuang was worthy of being the former leader of Taiping Dao. Not long after they met, he overturned and updated many of his cognitions.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong said, "Have you ever thought about what to do if you can't get Changshengtian?"
"Of course I have."
Lin Kuang nodded and explained, "So I also brought the cave heaven of the Taiping Dao main sect, the Baicao Garden. Although the rules of the Baicao Garden are only suitable for growing various types of medicinal herbs of various levels and do not have offensive capabilities, it is at least a cave heaven like Changshengtian."
"So whether you can get the Eternal Heaven or not, you plan to hide in the cave, right?"
Xu Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and continued to ask: "What happened later that caused the Eternal Heaven to be broken?"
"It went very smoothly afterwards. It was so smooth that I didn't even meet the Blood Robe Guards' commander-in-chief. I was able to get close to Changshengtian. But just when I was about to succeed, another person suddenly appeared in my sight!"
Lin Kuang thought of that figure, and felt a chill in his heart. "And this person is the real source of the crisis I predicted!"
"Who is it?"
Xu Chong's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I don't know him. I only know that once this person shows up, I have no hope of survival, so I hid in Baicao Garden, and then..."
Lin Kuang looked at Xu Chong, with a hint of shock in his eyes, "I just stayed in the Baicao Garden, watching the new person who appeared control the Changshengtian to collide with the Baicao Garden."
"so……"
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking, "The collision between caves is the only way to destroy a cave?"
"I don't know if it's the only one or not, but Baicao Garden and Changshengtian are really broken."
Lin Kuang laughed at himself, "The Taiping Dao just lost its most important source of supplies. After so many years, I don't know if they have collected and repaired it completely."
"I'm not sure about that, but Taiping Dao is doing very well right now."
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "Especially the new leader of the Taiping Dao."
"Are you willing to tell me?"
Lin Kuang stood up with a grunt, took a few quick steps , and closed the distance between himself and Xu Chong's cage.
"You said that Emperor Qing would send someone down before you died."
Xu Chong shook his head.
"Are you afraid that I will use this incident to get Emperor Qing to let me go?"
Lin Kuang shook his head and laughed, "You think too much. Emperor Qing is determined to get the secret of me. No matter what, I have no hope of survival."
"To be honest, I'm very curious, what kind of secret has left the entire Daqing court helpless?"
Xu Chong was somewhat puzzled. "From what I know, there is the Dao weapon Wenxinyan from the Ministry of Justice."
"I know what you're talking about. The court has used it on me before, but it didn't work."
Lin Kuang shook his head. "The Purple Mansion cultivation path means that the soul is controlled by oneself. Not to mention the Taoist instruments, even the Danxin rules of the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot make me say what I don't want to say."
"All right."
Xu Chong smacked his lips.
It turns out that Zifu Seeding Dao has this benefit.
"I can't tell you the details."
Xu Chong looked at Lin Kuang quietly, "Ji Qingzhi, with a strange method, bewitched millions of Yongzhou refugees, forcing the imperial court's disaster relief team... to start a massacre."
"!!!"
Lin Kuang's face changed drastically and he could hardly believe his ears.
"Millions of people?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"How much damage can millions of refugees cause to the imperial court?"
"Doing this is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself. There is no point at all!"
"What's more, wantonly endangering innocent people is a taboo in Taiping Dao."
Lin Kuang shook his head repeatedly, "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
“It is true that it harms others, but it may not benefit oneself.”
Xu Chong said coldly, "If some people hadn't risked their lives to save Yongzhou, millions of people would have died before they could even receive disaster relief... and by the time the imperial court provided disaster relief, Yongzhou no longer needed it."
This sentence contains too much information.
Lin Kuang's expression changed, and he thought for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "You mean, the court wants those refugees to die, and Ji Qingzhi is cooperating?"
“It’s hard not to think about that.”
Xu Chong said in a deep voice, "I suspect that Ji Qingzhi is actually Emperor Qing's man."
"Emperor Qing's people..."
Lin Kuang's face turned pale instantly.
"What did you think of?"
Xu Chong became serious.
"I need to know the details of how millions of people were deceived."
Lin Kuang forced himself to calm down and looked at Xu Chongdao seriously.
"……good."
At this point, Xu Chong did not hesitate any longer and recounted in detail what had happened that day.
Lin Kuang listened carefully, his expression becoming more and more ugly.
After a long while, Lin Kuang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "After a few days, with just one slogan, he was able to instantly deceive millions people. With this ability, I can only think of one possibility... magical power!"
"Magic power?"
Xu Chong was certainly not unfamiliar with these two words, but this was the first time he heard them in this world.
"Supernatural powers only existed in ancient times. They are neither magic nor art."
Lin Kuang explained, and then uttered a sentence with difficulty: "If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Qingzhi has mastered a magical power that can confuse people's minds."
"I see……"
Xu Chong sighed, "It's too late to know now. The leader of the Taiping Dao and Emperor Qing are colluding. There is no pure land in the world anymore."
"I want to ask you something."
Lin Kuang looked at Xu Chong deeply.
"What's up?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.
"I was also a leader of a sect. I don't know how the Taiping Dao is doing now, but at least it was cleaner than the imperial court...There is peace and justice, and there is no suffering in the world. This is the common vision of the Taiping Daoists, and it should not be used here."
Lin Kuang's face was solemn, "Help me, help Taiping Dao, kill that son of a bitch Ji Qingzhi."
"Hehe, you don't have to ask."
Xu Chong smiled calmly, "When the time comes, I will kill him."
"In that case..."
Lin Kuang nodded, suddenly raised his hands and made seals repeatedly.
A moment later, an identical Lin Kuang took a step forward and walked out of Lin Kuang's body.
"!!!"
Xu Chong's scalp tingled.
"This is the secret that Emperor Qing wants to obtain."
Lin Kuang opened his mouth and slowly uttered a few words: "Divine power - incarnation!"
