Chapter 264: Taihuang Race, Two Glasses of Wine
"How strong is the Dragon Blood Mountain Turtle?"
Jiang Che asked lazily without opening his eyes.
Yu Fei said: "They are a huge population. If we can send warriors from the Seven Caves Heaven to go there, there is hope that we can catch one."
Jiang Che opened his eyes, his eyes dim, and said: "My beloved concubine, where can I find a warrior from the Seven Caves? Guan Sheng has gone out to pursue martial arts and has not returned for ten years."
"Your Majesty, there is also Longqi Mountain."
Hearing this, Jiang Che immediately sat up.
Yu Fei quickly knelt down and placed her forehead against the edge of the pool.
Jiang Che snorted, "I've said before, don't mention Longqi Mountain. I don't want to be looked down upon by Daozu. Daozu can't make the elixir of immortality either."
"I deserve to die. I will never mention it again."
Yu Fei said with great fear and trepidation. Jiang Che turned to look at her, his heart softened, he sighed, and helped her up.
Jiang Che whispered, "My beloved, you have a special identity. You can hide it from everyone in the palace, but you can't hide it from Daozu. If I listen to you and go to Daozu, he will definitely be suspicious of you. Do you really think that your transformation skills can be hidden from Daozu? He must have known of your existence. The reason why he didn't take action is because you are well-behaved. Don't cross the line in some things, otherwise I can't protect you."
Concubine Yu raised her head and said aggrievedly, "I understand. It was my fault for not considering it carefully."
Jiang Che walked out of the pool and said, "Please undress for me. I want to go and see if those useless people are sincerely refining pills for me. Use your ability and go quietly."
"I obey your command."
Concubine Yu quickly stood up and went to get the dragon robe.
A few days later.
Twenty-three Taoist alchemists were beheaded in public, which caused a lot of discussion among the people. The officials felt happy about it. In their opinion, the emperor became incompetent because of these Taoists.
However, the next month, a large number of Taoists and monks came to Beijing from all over the country, leaving the officials speechless.
There are always people who are not afraid of death.
…
In the boundless desert, with yellow sand filling the sky, there was a huge black shadow whose body could not be obscured by the wind and sand. It was a black worm as big as a mountain range, with a head like a crocodile, and it looked hideous and terrifying.
At this moment, the ferocious beast had fainted, and Jiang Changsheng was absorbing its soul.
As for the ferocious beasts with whom he had no grudges, Jiang Changsheng would release them after sucking their souls. If he met them in the future, they might still be able to become his fighting force.
Anyone whose soul is absorbed half by the Classic of Mountains and Seas will also have his body controlled by it, so the ferocious beasts previously recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are still alive and scattered throughout the wilderness.
Jiang Changsheng slowly closed the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the remaining half of his soul returned to the body of the ferocious beast.
He said, "Come out."
There were not many creatures who dared to spy on him secretly while he was fighting. The last time it was the Tongtiandi with a net worth of 200 million, and this time it was a group of creatures, all of them were very weak, with the strongest worth just over 10 million.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sand sank and figures slowly emerged. They were actually a group of insects with human heads. Their bodies were like ladybugs and were larger than the attic.
The leading human-headed bug had an old face. He said respectfully, "We have no ill intentions. Our tribe originally lived in this desert. Please don't blame us."
Jiang Changsheng noticed that they were very intelligent and could communicate just like humans, which was different from the other ferocious beast races in Taihuang.
This area is already deep in the wilderness, and its distance from Tianjing Land is equivalent to the distance between Longmai Continent and Shengu Continent.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "What tribe are you from, and how long have you been here ?"
"We are the Sand Clan, born in the sand, and our race has been established for about 50,000 years."
Jiang Changsheng continued to ask a few more questions.
He discovered that the Sand Tribe’s concept of time and language were the same as those of humans.
It can't be such a coincidence.
He had a bold idea. Could it be that a unified race had once given birth to in Taihuang and spread its culture to various races, and the human race was one of them? Even if the human race left Taihuang, they inherited these cultures and common sense.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Have you ever seen a creature like me?"
The old man from the Sand Tribe shook his head and said, “I have never seen one with my own eyes, but I have seen creatures similar to you in the royal palace.”
Jiang Changsheng followed to inquire about the information of the Taihuang royal family, and the old man of the Sha clan answered truthfully.
The Sand Clan is very simple, at least they are not as scheming as the humans. When faced with Jiang Changsheng's questions, his answers were very sincere. He answered what he knew and said he didn't know what he didn't know. If he asked something, he would know it all, but Jiang Changsheng would not believe it.
The Taihuang royal family did indeed once unified most of the mountains and rivers in Taihuang. They were very ancient and disappeared as early as 100,000 years ago. 100,000 years was just the estimate of the Sand Clan themselves. No race knew exactly how long they had disappeared, and even each race had forgotten the existence of the Taihuang race.
Taihuang is vast. Since it can give birth to intelligent races like humans, it will naturally give birth to other intelligent races. The Sand Clan is one of them. They are naturally smarter than ferocious beasts, but their physical qualifications are far inferior to those of the stupid ferocious beasts. Even so, they can survive in Taihuang relying on their own wisdom.
After some communication, Jiang Changsheng had a good impression of the Sand Clan.
Before leaving, he cut a large piece of meat from the beast and gave it to the Sand Clan, then moved the beast away, ensuring the beast's survival and giving back to the Sand Clan.
The old man of the Sand Tribe was very happy, thanked Jiang Changsheng, and promised: " If we meet your compatriots in the future, we will also warmly welcome them."
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and smiled, "Remember, I am a human. If you meet other people, you should be careful and try not to show up. Not everyone is like me. Some people are like fierce beasts and believe in the law of the jungle."
After saying that, Jiang Changsheng turned and left.
The creatures of the Sand Clan discussed the human race. It was the first time they heard the word human race.
In the following years, Jiang Changsheng encountered other intelligent races one after another. The characteristic of intelligent races is that they are good at hiding and are usually difficult to observe. After all, their physical bodies are weaker than those of other races, so they can only hide.
Among them, there was a race that attracted Jiang Changsheng's attention. They were called the Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan were small, their bodies were like water, and they could change into various appearances. The one in the palace was a Spirit Clan creature, with a similar aura and the same physical essence.
When the spirits saw Jiang Changsheng, they hid themselves, fearing that they would be targeted.
Jiang Changsheng did not return until his magic power was almost exhausted.
He is just a clone.
…
In the sixty-first year of Taihe, another five years passed.
Thirteen years have passed since the death of the seven demon saints, and Dajing is still prosperous and has no external enemies.
Jiang Changsheng merged his clone and obtained the clone's memories of experiences during this period. He created another clone and continued to send it out.
After the clone left, Jiang Changsheng said, "Let him come in."
Hearing this, Bai Qi, who had been watching Jiang Changsheng's expression, quickly rushed out.
After a while, Bai Qi came with Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing is the current crown prince. He is over ninety years old and has lost the spirit and carefreeness of his youth.
He is also the oldest prince so far.
Seeing him looking quite vicissitudes of life, Jiang Changsheng inexplicably thought of Jing Renzong Jiang Xiu and the current emperor. Both of them had worried that they would be the crown prince for their entire lives, but had they ever thought that there would be descendants who would stay on the throne longer than them.
"Meet Daozu."
Jiang Qing bowed and looked at Jiang Changsheng with complicated eyes.
In order to let him focus on handling state affairs, Jiang Che has told him the blood relationship between Jiang Changsheng and the Jiang family. His original intention was to let him act boldly without worrying about Daozu, but it gave him another idea.
He wants to seek justice from his ancestors!
Jiang Qing knelt down in front of Jiang Changsheng. Ji Wujun opened his eyes and looked at him. Huang Tian and Hei Tian also jumped up.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Jiang Qing began to kowtow frantically, until his forehead was broken.
Jiang Changsheng sighed and said, "Okay, tell me what you want."
Jiang Qing raised his head and gritted his teeth, "I want the throne! My father has been obsessed with immortality and his concubine, and has ignored state affairs for more than ten years. He is no longer worthy of being the Prince of Dajing. Please... make the decision for me."
Looking at Jiang Changsheng, his eyes became red.
Normally, he is not a crybaby, but he has accumulated a lot of frustration and upset in his heart and has no place to vent.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "You want me to force the emperor to give up his throne?"
Jiang Qing nodded and said, "With just one word from you, Da Jing can hand over the imperial power without fighting. Although I want to be the emperor, I don't want my father and son to kill each other. Taizong once said that the descendants of the Jiang family must not kill each other again. I have always remembered it."
This kid...
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes, knowing that Jiang Qing was deliberately using Jiang Ziyu to persuade him, but when he heard Jiang Ziyu, his heart still wavered.
Bai Qi said cautiously: "Master, this is indeed the way it should be. After abdicating the throne, Jiang Che can still pursue immortality. He will not die immediately."
It had a very good impression of Jiang Qing, because Jiang Qing would send gifts to Longqi Temple every year and try to please them . Every time it took Huang Tian and Heitian to the capital, Jiang Qing would give them special treatment. Jiang Qing completely won its favor with the words "You are the most beloved divine beast of the Taoist Ancestor."
Jiang Changsheng was a little dazed. Jiang Che had looked for him in the same way in the past. Now Jiang Che's son came again. It was really a retribution.
However, when Jiang Qing mentioned Jiang Ziyu, Jiang Changsheng was shaken this time .
"Forget it, you can go back now. I will call the emperor in a few days, but I will only persuade him, not force him."
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes after he finished speaking.
Jiang Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them. Before leaving, he also said goodbye to Ji Wujun and the three monsters in the courtyard one by one.
A few days later.
Jiang Che came to visit Jiang Changsheng. He was smiling and in excellent condition. After being admitted to the hospital, he teased the three Baiqi monsters and then walked up to Jiang Changsheng and saluted.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the stone table, saying, "Come and sit down, let's have a good chat."
Grandparents and grandchildren!
The three Baiqi demons widened their eyes, and Ji Wujun thought to himself that it was just as he expected.
Bai Qi had actually guessed this before, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Jiang Che's smile froze. Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly sat down with a respectful attitude, no longer as relaxed as when he first entered the hospital.
Jiang Changsheng poured two glasses of wine himself and said, "I was bored a few days ago, so I made two glasses of wine. One is for Qianqiu, which tastes bitter at first but has a long aftertaste, and the other is for Baiye, which is strong and easily intoxicating. Which one do you want to drink?"
