Chapter 300 Jiang Xuannian, Jiang Xuanzhen
Jiang Changsheng's memory was evoked by Mu Lingluo, and he began to talk about his encounter with Hua Jianxin.
That year, Hua Jianxin was still a righteous White Guard, and was pulled out by Chen Li to deal with the evildoers. As a result, he encountered calculations in the court. Speaking of which, Eunuch Li was also involved. Who would have thought that many years later, the grudges would dissipate and they could still chat and laugh in the same yard.
Talking about these past events, scenes emerged in front of Jiang Changsheng's eyes, and so many old friends have gone to reincarnation.
Mu Lingluo listened carefully. Bai Qi said that Jiang Changsheng rarely went down the mountain, but now it sounds like even if he didn't go down the mountain, he had experienced a lot of stories.
Perhaps it was those hardships that forced him not to leave the mountain.
Speaking of Jiang Ziyu, Jiang Changsheng became even more interested, and his tone was slightly complacent, which allowed Mu Lingluo to see another side of him.
While Jiang Changsheng was reminiscing about the past, the emperor far away in Shuntian City was having a headache.
In the imperial study.
Jiang Han's face was gloomy. He picked up the memorial and tore it up.
The thief stood in front of the table and said, "Your Majesty, King Zhou is still waiting for your reply. He said that if you don't reply, he will stay in Shuntian."
Jiang Han said in a deep voice: "Is he threatening me?"
The God of Thieves did not answer. This was a conflict between the Emperor and his clan members, and he did not dare to interrupt. The reason he was able to stay until today was because he knew his limits.
Jiang Han took a deep breath and asked, "How is the prince?"
The thief god replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cultivating immortality."
"Cultivating immortals?"
Jiang Han was stunned and his expression became strange.
The thief god said helplessly: "Yes, he is cultivating immortals. There are many Taoists in his mansion who specialize in studying the way of cultivating immortals. If you hadn't sent someone to watch him, I think he would probably go to find the Taoist ancestor."
Many people did not understand Jiang Han's actions to restrain the prince. Only he knew that he had sent people to assassinate Jiang Ye when Jiang Ye sneaked out. It was because he had done that that he was worried.
Jiang Han snorted, "It's not that easy to pursue immortality. Daozu is just powerful enough. With his aptitude, he won't be accepted by Daozu even if he goes to find him. If he could open his divine eyes when he was born, I would have sent him to Longqi Mountain long ago."
Speaking of this matter, he felt helpless.
The sons of Jiang Jian and Jiang Che in their old age both opened their third eyes. Their deeds had long been spread, and people talked about them with relish, which also added divinity to the imperial power.
Jiang Han said: "Send someone to investigate the Taoist priests in his house. Also, let the crown prince come."
"Yes, sir!"
The thief retreated immediately.
Jiang Han sighed and murmured, "Father, I suddenly begin to understand you."
He was getting more and more tired. He had great ambitions but was unable to realize them, which made him extremely frustrated.
But he is different from Jiang Liu, he will not give up!
After an incense stick of time, a young man walked quickly into the imperial study.
"Grandpa Emperor, what do you want to ask your grandson?"
Although the boy was young, he had handsome features and was dressed exquisitely. As soon as Jiang Han saw him, a smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Han waved his hand, asked the boy to come to him, and held him on his lap.
"Did you practice well today?"
Jiang Han asked with a smile. Whenever he was bored, he liked to look for his grandson. Once he saw his grandson, his mood would improve. It was precisely because of the existence of his grandson that he was unwilling to give up. He was working hard not only for himself, but also for his grandson.
Young Jiang Xuannian blinked his eyes and said, "Yes, my grandson has tried very hard."
Jiang Han laughed and said, "It seems that you didn't work hard at all. You played secretly again. Who did you go to play with?"
Jiang Xuannian spread his hands and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Grandpa Huang. Xuanzhen is so cute that my grandson can't help but go find him."
Jiang Han said helplessly: "Xuan Zhen is only a few months old, you have to take good care of your brother."
"Grandpa Emperor, I will definitely take good care of him. I have something to ask of you."
"What is it?"
"Mother wants to take Xuanzhen and me to Longqi Temple to petition, what do you think..."
Jiang Xuannian said cautiously that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had both warned him to be careful with his words, as the Emperor seemed to mind Daozu very much.
Because his father practiced Taoism, he had heard his father praising the Taoist master since he was a child, so he also longed to meet the Taoist master.
Hearing this, Jiang Han frowned.
He didn't object to his grandson going to see his ancestors, but he was worried that something might happen on the way.
Seeing Jiang Xuannian's expectant eyes, Jiang Han softened his heart and said, "Then go. I'll have someone escort you and your two children."
"That's great. Grandpa Huang is the best to me."
"That's good to know . You will be the emperor in the future, so don't play around. Xuanzhen will be taken care of by others."
Jiang Han said this with a kind face, and Jiang Xuannian nodded obediently.
…
Heavy snow fell, covering the mountains. In front of a Taoist temple, Qi Yuan, who was named Qi Sheng, was meditating. The snow had piled up on him, making him look like a snow sculpture, but he did not move at all.
A man in yellow clothes came over quickly, rubbing his hands together, and said, "Master, when are we leaving? This heavy snow is really weird. I feel cold with my level of skill."
Qi Yuan did not speak, but his voice rang out: "Wait a few more years. Didn't the master tell you not to set foot in this forest? If you insist on coming, you deserve to be cold."
The man in yellow grinned and said, "Isn't the disciple worried about the master?"
Qi Yuan stopped talking.
The man in yellow breathed into his palms and said, "Master, what are your plans next? There are statues of Daozu everywhere in Dajing now. Should you go back to Longqi Temple to find Daozu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the snow on his body turned into mist. With him as the center, the snow began to melt, spreading at an extremely fast speed. In less than five breaths, all the snow on the mountains melted and turned into a vast hot mist that filled the mountains and forests.
The man in yellow was frightened and immediately knelt down.
Qi Yuan stared at him and said, "An Chang, why don't you change despite repeated admonitions?"
The man in yellow clothes named An Chang said with great fear: "I am also thinking about Master. You have been walking in the world for two hundred years to spread the Daozu religion. When can you rest? I feel sorry for you."
Qi Yuan frowned and asked, "Are you worried about your master, or do you want to please Daozu?"
An Chang was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"You are the most talented and insightful disciple among my disciples, but your heart is never at peace, and you always have evil thoughts. Well, you should leave now, and from now on, we will sever our relationship as master and disciple!"
Qi Yuan said this indifferently, which made An Chang even more frightened and he quickly apologized.
An Chang never expected that just by casually testing the waters, his master would want to expel him.
"No need to say more. In consideration of your contribution to the Daozu Sect and your care for me, I give you this treasure bag. It contains Daozu's magic, which can help you overcome difficulties."
Qi Yuan threw a brocade bag in front of An Chang.
An Chang looked up and their eyes met. He knew that his master had made up his mind this time.
He gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, you will always be my master."
After saying this, he kowtowed three times, then picked up the brocade bag and left, quickly flying to the horizon and disappearing.
Qi Yuan looked at the direction he left and murmured, "Your ambition is too big, and you think you have hidden it well, but you don't know that your life is not long enough. If you can stop in time, the sachet will be your life-saving straw. If you can't stop, you will be buried in the mortal world."
He sighed, then slowly closed his eyes and continued to feel the destiny and the world.
Since creating the Way of Civilization and Martial Arts, he did not rest, but continued to study new martial arts. He felt that the Way of Civilization and Martial Arts was only a foundation, and there should be more advanced martial arts.
…
The eighth year of Dihuang.
On New Year's Day, Qing'er came to visit.
Jiang Changsheng was preparing for the festival in the courtyard. Qing'er came up to him and said, "Daozu, the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Prince are here to visit you. They have also brought many generous gifts. Would you like to see them?"
Bai Qi's eyes lit up and he asked, "What kind of gift? Is there anything to eat?"
Qing'er rolled her eyes at it and said, "Can I open it in advance?"
Jiang Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Let them come."
Qing'er nodded, turned and left.
Bai Zun was teaching Jiang Tianming, but Jiang Tianming's mind was not on luck. He asked curiously, "Grandfather, is the Grandson my great-grandson?"
Jiang Changsheng said: "After they come, you should call me Daozu."
Jiang Tianming nodded and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard with anticipation in his eyes.
Practicing martial arts was very boring, so he was naturally looking forward to seeing his clansmen after all the hard work. Since the capital was moved, there were no more members of the Jiang family in the capital. If he hadn't known that his great-grandfather was his relative, he would have been unable to resist going down the mountain to look for the Jiang family.
After a long while, the Crown Princess came in holding a baby, followed by a young man, who was Jiang Xuannian.
It was the first time for the Crown Princess to meet Daozu, and Jiang Xuannian was very nervous as well.
When the Crown Princess saw wolves, fire crows, snake men, and white dragons in the yard, she was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale, but she still mustered up the courage to come before Jiang Changsheng and prepare to salute.
"No need to be so polite."
Jiang Changsheng opened his mouth, and an invisible force prevented the Crown Princess from kneeling. She was secretly frightened and said quickly: "This time, in addition to representing us mother and son, I also came here to convey greetings to you on behalf of His Majesty and the Crown Prince. His Majesty brought fruit wine from the time of the previous emperor, which is your favorite drink."
"Xuan Nian, why don't you kneel down and worship Daozu?"
Hearing his mother's words, Jiang Xuannian quickly knelt down like a little adult.
Jiang Tianming immediately came up to him, frightening him so much that he trembled all over.
In front of Jiang Xuannian, Jiang Tianming is much shorter, and Jiang Xuannian looks like his older brother. The two have somewhat similar facial features, especially the birthmark.
Jiang Tianming smiled proudly and said, "I am your great-great-uncle, why don't you pay your respects to me?"
Jiang Xuannian was stunned and said unconvincedly: "But you look younger than me, you are lying."
The Crown Princess thought of something, her face changed drastically, and she scolded: "Xuan Nian, kneel down and pay homage to your great-uncle, don't be rude!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xuannian was stunned and looked at Jiang Tianming in disbelief, but still knelt down obediently.
Jiang Tianming became even more proud.
Seeing the younger generations playing, Jiang Changsheng also found it quite interesting. He said, "Tianming, take him to play nearby. Lingluo, help take care of the little grandson."
When Mu Lingluo heard this , he immediately came over and took the young Jiang Xuanzhen.
The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Changsheng with gratitude.
