Chapter 30 I will be Li Shimin and you will be Li Yuanba
Jiang Changsheng began to inherit the memory of Miao Zong's Dharma Image. As the name suggests, Miao Zong's Dharma Image is a kind of Dharma Image that can be condensed into a real state. It can be used for defense or offense. This method can be used as a martial art or as a spell. The effects of the true Qi and spiritual power are completely different.
Cultivators can perform martial arts, but warriors cannot cast magic. It would be interesting to have a unique skill that can be used by both.
Perhaps this can also be regarded as his unique inheritance.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently, and after he had passed on his memory, he began to tidy up the room while keeping a breath for the Buddha of Doom.
The rebellion in the capital city lasted until dusk. After the disciples who were away got the news, Meng Qiushuang led the disciples back to the temple from the mountain path.
General Hong Lie rebelled and then died tragically in the palace. Things turned around so quickly that they were caught off guard.
In any case, the Hong family army has been disbanded and they can return to peace.
…
Late at night, Jiang Qian woke up with his face wrapped with clean cloth strips. He saw Jiang Changsheng meditating in mid-air and his mouth opened wide.
Jiang Changsheng gave the bed to him and could only meditate in the air.
Jiang Gan didn't dare to disturb Jiang Changsheng. He looked to the side and saw the Buddha of Doom. The Buddha of Doom was lying on the ground, as if he was dead.
"Awake? You can go out of the house, but you can't leave the yard. If someone comes, hide immediately. After a few months, I will arrange for you to become a Taoist priest in the temple."
Jiang Changsheng said without opening his eyes.
Jiang Qian quickly stood up, kowtowed to Jiang Changsheng on the ground, and said softly: "Wang Chen is willing to serve the Taoist priest forever. Thank you for saving my life and for giving Wang Chen a peaceful life."
In the palace, he was suppressed by the soldiers, and the incompetence made him extremely angry.
When his throat was cut and death was approaching, the despair made him yearn to live. When he was in pain and had lost all hope, the appearance of Jiang Changsheng dispelled his despair. He would never forget this kindness.
From then on, he was no longer called Jiang Gan, but Wang Chen.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly landed and said, "That's great. I'll interrogate him."
He pointed in the air, and the Buddha of Doom woke up, gasping for breath, which frightened Wang Chen so much that he shuddered.
The Buddha of Doom subconsciously looked around and met Jiang Changsheng's gaze, a pair of golden eyes.
Phantom Eyes!
The Buddha of Doom was suddenly in a trance and stood there in a daze.
Wang Chen was almost frightened when he saw the changes in Jiang Changsheng's eyes. Fortunately, the Phantom Divine Eye was not used on him, so he did not lose consciousness.
Jiang Changsheng has cultivated the Illusionary Eye to the point where he can make the other person answer questions unconsciously. All he needs to do is make the other person mistakenly believe that he is the person he trusts the most and change his cognition.
"Tell me, how many gods and humans are there in the Mahayana Dragon Tower?" Jiang Changsheng asked.
The realm of gods and men?
Wang Chen swallowed his saliva. In his knowledge, the strongest martial artist was only at the Tongtian realm, and he had never heard of the divine realm.
The Buddha of Misfortune replied numbly: "I don't know the realm of gods and men..."
"What is the strongest realm in the Mahayana Dragon Tower..."
"Above the Venerables, the twelve Venerables are all in the Godly State, but the building owner and the two Dharma protectors are even higher than them..."
Jiang Changsheng frowned, which means that the possibility of there being a god-like person in the Mahayana Dragon Tower cannot be ruled out.
He then asked, "How many disciples does Mahayana Dragon Tower have, and how many dynasties does it control?"
The Buddha of Misfortune replied: "I don't know either. As for the dynasty, it is a secret. We are all following orders to help Jiang Yu seize the throne..."
Wang Chen had a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't expect that Jiang Yuan chose the seventh prince.
He always thought that the biggest threats came from the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince. Jiang Yu was usually gentle and seemed to have no ambitions, because he was a warrior, and in his opinion, winning over masters was just a matter of learning martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng followed up and said, "Tell us what you know about the Jiang royal family."
The Buddha of Misfortune said immediately, “I know that Emperor Jiang once became a disciple of Mahayana Dragon Tower and learned the true dragon energy, so that he could establish himself in troubled times. However, in troubled times, in addition to military force, money is also needed. He got the support of the Yang family and promised to make the daughter of the Yang family the queen in the future. However, Mahayana Dragon Tower needed to control the new dynasty so that it could collect more resources for martial arts. So it disrupted the government and asked Emperor Jiang’s junior sister to help him stabilize the government and give birth to another son to be the emperor in the future. The two of them agreed to switch the prince and suppress the ignorant Yang family. Emperor Jiang felt sorry for the queen, so he gave birth to the fourth prince. Later, Emperor Jiang and his junior sister gave birth to the seventh prince…”
Wang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He already knew that he had been switched, but he didn't expect that there was a martial arts force behind Dajing.
He couldn't help but ask, "Where did the fake prince come from?"
The Buddha of Doom did not answer, so Jiang Changsheng had to ask again.
The Buddha of Misfortune replied, "The fake prince was a baby that your majesty asked the White Guards to exchange for from a poor neighborhood in the capital. At that time, the country had just been established, and he was only exchanged for a bag of rice..."
Wang Chen was silent.
Jiang Changsheng didn't bother to sympathize with him and continued to inquire about the situation of the Mahayana Dragon Tower.
After questioning for half an hour, Jiang Changsheng finally ended his life and threw him out to be eaten by the white dragon. However, the white dragon despised him, so he had to fly on his sword and throw the Doom Buddha into a pack of wolves in the mountains and forests outside the city. He watched the wolves share the body of the Doom Buddha before he went back with peace of mind.
Wang Chen still stayed in the room. Bai Long was staring at him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Jiang Changsheng gave him the room next to the Demon Lord, and he settled down there.
…
Hong Lie rebelled and was brutally killed by a mysterious master. The crown prince and the second prince disappeared!
These events spread throughout the capital and the world, causing people to worry whether the position of crown prince would lead to civil strife. The emperor immediately rushed back after hearing about this.
After the emperor returned, several large-scale searches were carried out in the capital, including the Longqi Temple. However, several months had passed by then. Wang Chen had removed the cloth on his face, revealing his face full of scars. He had lost a lot of weight this month, and his throat had become hoarse from the serious injuries. He was wearing a Taoist robe and looked like an ugly Taoist priest, with nothing to do with the prince.
Chen Li also visited Jiang Changsheng on the way, and marveled at the power of the mysterious master, who was able to kill Hong Lie, who had 100,000 cavalrymen.
In this way, Longqi Temple had an inconspicuous Taoist priest named Wang Chen. He usually cleaned the courtyard for the Taoist priest, and also practiced Taoism with disciples such as Meng Qiu Shuang to cultivate his body and mind.
With Wangchen and Bailong around on weekdays, Jiang Changsheng doesn't have to take care of Ping'an. Apart from practicing, he tries to create a low-profile version of the immortal cultivation method and lets Wangchen try to practice it. As a result, Wangchen's spiritual energy almost burst his meridians, and Jiang Changsheng was so scared that he had to transform it again.
This year passed like this.
In the 31st year of Kaiyuan, the emperor appointed the seventh prince as the crown prince. The whole country was shocked, and the princes did not dare to object. The only one who posed a threat to the seventh prince, Jiang Yu, was still fighting against Gu Khan on the border and cleaning up the mess for the emperor.
Jiang Changsheng's days became leisurely. After making sure that the Queen was fine, he stayed in the temple and practiced with peace of mind.
In the 32nd year of Kaiyuan, the little King of Wei was three years old. Hua Jianxin and a group of servants brought him to Longqi Temple . From that day on, the little King of Wei would stay in Longqi Temple for three days a week and be taught martial arts by Jiang Changsheng.
Wanli and Mingyue, who are considered to be Jiang Changsheng's half-disciples, have both become top masters, but they do not like to go down the mountain. In their spare time, they will help Jiang Changsheng take care of the young King Wei and Ping An.
In the thirty-third year of Kaiyuan, the northern border of Dajing was conquered by Gu Khan. The military situation was tense and Dajing was completely plunged into war. The people seemed to see the shadow of the troubled times again, and this time it was not a civil war on Dajing's land, but an invasion by foreign races.
Many people in the country were cursing the emperor. If the emperor had not insisted on beating Gu Khan, it would not have come to this.
In the autumn, in the courtyard of Longqi Temple.
The Earth Spirit Tree was taller than the building, with leaves falling everywhere. A large white snake was wrapped around the tree, its body as thick as an adult's thigh, but its length was unknown. There were several people sitting under the tree.
Jiang Changsheng was telling a story, the young King of Wei, Ping'an, Wanli, and Mingyue were sitting and listening, and Wangchen was sweeping the floor.
"The Yuan army surrounded Yashan. The prime minister jumped into the sea carrying the eight-year-old emperor Zhao Bing on his back. One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians followed him and died for their country. Thus, the Song Dynasty came to an end in history. This is the story of the Song Dynasty."
Jiang Changsheng finished speaking and smiled. He finally finished. He was so tired.
Half a year ago, he began to tell the young King of Wei stories about the ancient Chinese kings, and later invited Wanli and Mingyue to listen together.
The young King of Wei was dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, with delicate features and an extremely outstanding appearance, especially the birthmark between his eyebrows, which was like a third eye and could not be ignored. Ping An was sitting next to him with messy hair and his Taoist robe was also a little messy. The two people's images and temperaments were very different.
Ping'an was born with a disability, and Wangchen and Mingyue always helped him to take care of his hair and clothes, but he was playful and soon messed up and made them dirty.
Although he was stupid, he was born strong. At the age of four, he was able to lift up the sleeping Wang Chen, which scared Wang Chen at that time.
Who said that the young King of Wei was the reincarnation of the golden-winged Roc? This silly boy is it!
The young King of Wei supported his chin with both hands and smacked his lips, saying, "The story of the Song Dynasty is not good. I still like the Tang Dynasty. I want to be the Khan of the day and crush the ancient Khan."
He turned his head to look at Ping An, patted Ping An's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ping An, from now on I will be Li Shimin and you will be Li Yuanba. The two of us brothers will conquer the world together."
At the age of four, he speaks like an eight or nine-year-old, with clear and coherent speech, appearing very smart.
Ping An hugged him, rubbed his face, and laughed: "Okay, okay, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba..."
The two boys have been very close since they met. Perhaps because they are of similar age, they have a very good relationship. They even fight together with other young disciples in the temple. With Ping An around, the young King of Wei has never suffered any loss.
Mingyue shook her head and said, "Li Shimin did achieve great success and can be considered an emperor of all ages, but the Xuanwu Gate Incident is a stain that he cannot wash away. Killing his brother and forcing his father is not glorious at all."
The little King of Wei stood up angrily and said, "Sister Mingyue, Li Shimin was forced to be the emperor. And he should be the emperor. Why should the first born be the emperor? Shouldn't the one who is more powerful be the emperor?"
Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Good man, this kid...
In fact, the little Prince of Wei was not the eldest son under the Seventh Prince. The eldest son was an illegitimate son and was quite loved by the Seventh Prince. After all, his mother was the one the Seventh Prince truly loved, while the mother of the little Prince of Wei was arranged by the Emperor. Moreover, less than a year after the little Prince of Wei was born, the princess died, and the mother of the eldest son was successfully promoted from a concubine to a princess.
I thought he wouldn't be wronged in the palace. Hua Jianxin never mentioned it.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
The young King of Wei and Mingyue began to argue. Seeing that the young King of Wei was furious, Ping'an suddenly stood up and swung his fist at Mingyue. Fortunately, Mingyue also practiced martial arts and caught the punch easily. For a while, there was chaos under the tree.
Wang Chen swept the floor and came to Jiang Changsheng, and asked curiously: "Master, Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, where are these dynasties from? Why haven't I heard of them?"
He used to think that Jiang Changsheng was making it up, and Jiang Changsheng also said so, but after listening to it for so long, it seemed too real.
