Chapter 2: Infinite life, unpredictable fortune and misfortune in life
Faced with the unfriendly looks from Chen Li and others, as well as the suspicious looks from his fellow disciples, Jiang Changsheng did not panic.
Instead, he asked, "Yes, I did practice the footwork, but may I ask how Master Chen knew that? I have hundreds of disciples in my temple, how can you be sure that I can do it? Have you checked all the disciples?"
In less than an hour, checking the martial arts of hundreds of disciples was too tight, unless the other party was determined that the murderer came from Longqi Temple.
Chen Li shook his head and said, "Of course not. It just rained last night and stopped an hour ago. Although it was not heavy, the whole mountain was muddy. If the disciples did not go out last night, the mud on their boots should not have dried yet when they came here today. This is the case for everyone except you. There is dried mud on your trouser legs, which means that your legs moved a lot last night."
Jiang Changsheng looked down and saw that it was indeed the case. There were many mud stains of different sizes on his trouser legs.
The disciples outside the hall became agitated and whispered.
He remained calm, looked at Chen Li, and asked, "The speculation about his footwork is reasonable, but what about my motive for killing? I have lived in Longqi Temple since I was a child and have never been out. I have not had any contact with you in the past few days. Why did I kill him?"
Taoist Qingxu had a blank expression on his face, while the three senior disciples seemed to be thinking about something.
Even the five guests behind Chen Li began to discuss in a low voice.
yes.
Why kill?
A rich girl said, "Yes, he died in his own room. If it was this young Taoist priest who killed him, how much hatred would he have to have to break into someone's room late at night and kill someone?"
The Jing Dynasty had an open-minded atmosphere and women were allowed to go out. This rich girl was not traveling with Chen Li, but just happened to come to Longqi Temple to practice Taoism and calm her mind during this period. Her servants were waiting outside the temple.
Jiang Changsheng began to look at Chen Li and others. He felt that the murderer was most likely among these people.
Huh!
This guy has real energy in his body!
Jiang Changsheng keenly noticed a skinny man with a very low sense of presence. Taoism is a method of cultivating immortals. Although he has not cultivated spiritual power, his senses are extremely sensitive, far beyond those of ordinary people.
The skinny man was dressed like a businessman and had a thin body, making it hard to imagine that he was a martial artist. Moreover, his true energy was very weak and difficult to detect, but it could not escape Jiang Changsheng's senses.
These subtle true qi are emitted from some acupuncture points, which means that this guy seals the true qi in the acupuncture points to create the illusion that he does not know martial arts.
Chen Li frowned and said, "There is indeed no motive, but we just don't know the motive. When tracing past relationships and evidence, we can't simply rely on the words to make a conclusion. We need the government to investigate. I wonder if the young Taoist priest is willing..."
Jiang Changsheng suddenly interrupted and asked, "Donor Chen said earlier that the people behind you don't know martial arts, is that right?"
Chen Li nodded and said, "Yes, your three senior brothers and sisters have checked it."
That means their martial arts skills are not good enough!
Why isn’t it Master who is checking?
He didn't dare ask more questions, for fear of embarrassing Taoist Qingxu.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Can I check it?"
Chen Li was alert and said, "It's not appropriate. After all, we are pregnant now..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Changsheng suddenly flashed and turned into a trail of afterimages. He passed Chen Li and rushed to the skinny man. He raised his hand to grab him, but the skinny man reacted very quickly and jumped away, avoiding his hand.
Chen Li turned around and his eyes widened when he saw this scene, and so did the other four guests.
Some of them actually know martial arts!
The servants outside the hall rushed in and surrounded them.
The skinny man no longer had the nervous look he had before, but instead showed a ferocious smile. He stared at Jiang Changsheng and said with a smile, "Little Taoist priest, I didn't expect that you are so advanced in Taoism that you can even see through my skills. It seems that you are really a genius."
Jiang Changsheng said calmly: "Your body movements are not simple either."
The rich girl stepped back and asked in horror: "Xue Hai, how come you know martial arts?"
Xue Hai smiled sinisterly and said, "You know me well?"
The rich daughter remained silent.
Xue Hai looked at Chen Li and said, "Top Scholar, isn't it ironic? If he wasn't a martial arts expert, would you have arrested him by force and convicted him at will when you got back to the government? The Chen family has always been like this. You were like this when the Chu Dynasty was still in existence."
The Chu Dynasty was the dynasty before the Jing Dynasty. In the last years of the Chu Dynasty, the eunuchs were in power and the people were living in misery. Righteous men rose up in rebellion, which led to the collapse of the Chu Dynasty and the world entered an era of warlord separatism. Jiang Yuan was not from a noble family, but just a martial artist, but he successfully established the Jing Dynasty.
When a warrior became emperor, the Jing Dynasty ushered in a trend of practicing martial arts, which far exceeded that of all previous dynasties.
Chen Li frowned and asked, "Xue Hai, why did you want to kill him?"
Xue Hai did not answer, but suddenly rushed towards Chen Li at an extremely fast speed.
Jiang Changsheng did not move, because he was also unhappy with Chen Li. This guy was making false accusations and wanted to take him to the yamen.
"snort!"
Taoist Qingxu snorted coldly, stepped in front of Chen Li, raised his palm and hit him, colliding with Xue Hai's right palm. Xue Hai's hand bones were broken, he vomited blood and flew backwards, breaking the doors and windows, and frightened the disciples outside to retreat.
This guy actually knows palm techniques, so why does he use leg techniques to commit crimes?
Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt that Xue Hai was deliberately framing him.
Could it be that Xue Hai had caught him practicing martial arts before?
After Xue Hai landed, he quickly jumped up, leaped several feet high, and disappeared directly outside the courtyard.
"Follow me!"
Second Senior Brother Meng Qiuhe rushed out and shouted, and immediately dozens of disciples followed him out of the courtyard.
Chen Li was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
Taoist Qingxu closed his palm, held his shoulders, and said: "Donor Chen, although the world is stable, there are still undercurrents. As the first champion of Jing Dynasty, you should not move around casually. Today's disaster will happen again in the future."
Chen Li hurriedly thanked him and then apologized to Jiang Changsheng. Seeing his sincere attitude, Jiang Changsheng did not make things difficult for him.
The matter ended here, and Jiang Changcheng became the focus. Those disciples who did not pursue the murderer gathered around him and asked him what martial arts he had used just now, so quickly.
Even Senior Brother Li Changqing and Third Senior Sister Meng Qiushuang were interested.
Taoist Qingxu said, "Changsheng, you don't need to come to listen to the teachings as usual from now on. You can practice martial arts on your own. Except for ringing the bell in the morning, you can decide your daily routine by yourself."
As soon as these words came out, the disciples all looked at him with envy , including Li Changqing and Meng Qiu Shuang. The two eldest disciples still had to teach their younger brothers and sisters.
Jiang Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then thanked Taoist Qingxu.
Taoist Qingxu turned and left, and the disciples outside the hall immediately surrounded him.
After dealing with his fellow disciples for a while, Jiang Changsheng found a chance to leave. Even the rich girl was interested in him, and he really couldn't resist.
The murder case was temporarily settled. Whether the murderer was caught or not was none of Jiang Changsheng's business. The other disciples continued to practice as usual, and he returned to his own courtyard, alone.
In Longqi Temple, there are four rooms in one courtyard, with two disciples living in one room.
Sitting on the bed, Jiang Changsheng began to organize his thoughts.
He was always unsure whether Taoist Qingxu knew his true identity. After bringing him to Longqi Temple, Taoist Qingxu did not take any special care of him, so he couldn't just ask him directly.
Today's events involved the previous dynasty. After his martial arts were exposed, Taoist Qingxu actually gave him the greatest freedom, which made him think a lot.
[In the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, you encountered the remnants of the previous dynasty committing crimes and were dragged into the disaster. You relied on your skills to escape the danger and received the survival reward - the martial arts 'Vajra Roar']
A text that only he could see appeared in front of him, making him smile.
Survived another disaster!
If he had not practiced martial arts day after day for six years, he would not be able to force Xue Hai to use his skills today. He would probably be arrested and taken to the government office, and then killed by those powerful people.
"I still have to work hard on my cultivation in the future and not slack off. What happened today shows that as long as there is a legitimate reason, the court can still find a way to take me out."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
He also thought of one more thing: Taoist Qingxu really couldn't see through Xue Hai's martial arts skills?
No matter what, he can't choose to trust others but himself.
After Jiang Changsheng figured it out, he began to learn the Vajra Roar martial arts that had appeared in his mind.
Vajra Roar is a martial art that uses innate qi to stimulate the meridians in the throat, making the sound abnormally loud, thereby shocking and injuring the enemy. If practiced to perfection, it can also drive away evil spirits.
The word "evil" made his heart tighten. Could it be that ghosts really exist in this world?
That’s right, he has been reincarnated, so it’s not surprising that there are ghosts.
If this life is really like the game he designed in his previous life, then his life span will be infinite. He only needs to avoid disasters and practice continuously, and he will become an immortal sooner or later!
After becoming an immortal, you no longer have to fear demons and monsters!
…
In the next few days, Jiang Changsheng was annoyed. The disciples were extremely curious about him. He spent almost all his time during the day dealing with his fellow disciples. At night, he would encounter fellow disciples peeping at him. His junior brother who was one year younger than Jiang Changsheng in the same dormitory also harassed him. In desperation, he taught him the basic steps of the Nine-Seeking Heavenly Dragon Step, and then they stopped harassing him.
The days finally became quiet, and Jiang Changsheng was practicing Taoism in the house.
Clang——
Junior fellow Qing Ku ran in and said excitedly, "Senior brother, the number one scholar is here again and specifically wants to come and thank you. Master has agreed and he has come to the outside of the courtyard. Do you want to see him?"
Jiang Changsheng frowned and said, "If he doesn't see me, then he doesn't need to thank me."
Qing Ku was stunned. He grew up with Jiang Changsheng and listened to Jiang Changsheng on important matters. So he nodded, turned and walked out of the house.
"Hahaha, young Taoist priest, it seems that you are holding a grudge. It was indeed my fault at that time. I came here specially to apologize and also give you my Chen family's martial arts. I hope you will accept it."
Chen Li walked in with a warm smile on his face, and the eleven-year-old Qing Ku couldn't stop him at all.
Jiang Changsheng said helplessly: "You are also very abrupt now."
Chen Li sat down by himself, took out a secret book with gold thread and blue cover from his arms and placed it on the table.
"This martial art is called Qi Finger, and it requires the cultivation of true Qi to practice. Unfortunately, my Chen family switched from martial arts to literature a hundred years ago, and there are no more martial arts prodigies since then. So I will give it to the young Taoist priest today."
Chen Li introduced it with a smile, and his tone was a little sad .
In the martial arts-oriented Jing Dynasty, the Chen family had a hard time surviving.
