Chapter 66: Chaozong is under siege, but the evildoers are safe
Above the sea of clouds, a figure passed by like the wind. It was Jiang Changsheng. He stepped on a white cloud and flew across the sky, nearly a thousand feet above the ground.
The strong wind blew his big feather robe and black hair. His face was full of smiles and he felt extremely happy.
This is more fun than flying with a sword, and faster!
"The ordinary art of flying in the clouds is so fast, how fast can a cloud that can fly 108,000 miles in one somersault be? Can it really fly 108,000 miles in the time it takes to do one somersault..."
Jiang Changsheng was feeling emotional. He looked down, his eyes passing through the sea of clouds. He saw the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers, green hills and clear waters, with the peaks surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.
He had only wandered around the capital before and had never really seen the big scenery.
He saw a city located between the mountains, with official roads leading in all directions, and vaguely saw carriages and people.
Today's Dajing is really prosperous, with people everywhere.
Jiang Changsheng also saw a child herding sheep on the hillside practicing martial arts. He took out a very thin secret book from his arms, which he had written when he was bored and practicing calligraphy. He used his spiritual power to send the secret book down.
It records a martial arts book, which can be regarded as a gift from God.
Jiang Changsheng laughed loudly and walked away. The child on the hillside did not hear his laughter. When the secret book came into his sight, he couldn't help but stop.
"Will it become a martial arts legend?"
Jiang Changsheng waited silently. He began to spin and tumble in various ways, trying to adapt himself to the art of riding on the clouds as much as possible.
…
The eleventh year of Qianwu.
"In May, Xu Tianji went south of the Yangtze River and single-handedly entered the Burning Heaven Pavilion to fight against Emperor Yang Zhao. Although he failed to defeat Emperor Yang Zhao, Xu Tianji still managed to escape from the encirclement. This battle greatly reduced the morale of the Burning Heaven Pavilion, and the martial arts world finally realized that Emperor Yang Zhao was not really the second best in the world."
Li Min said excitedly, he knew that Xu Tianji had received guidance from Jiang Changsheng, and so had he. In a sense, he and Xu Tianji could be considered half fellow disciples.
Jiang Changsheng asked with a smile: "So, Emperor Yang Zhao is not a god?"
Can a god let Xu Tianji escape?
That would be so delicious!
Li Min shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Xu Tianji is also very strong. Maybe he is the next god."
Wang Chen came over and said with a smile: "Xu Tianji has learned the most advanced Qinggong of Zhenwu Pavilion. Maybe his level is not as good as Emperor Yang Zhao, but he can still escape."
Although it is difficult to kill enemies across borders with martial arts, some advanced martial arts can allow people to escape death, just like the thief of the gods, whose special skills and extraordinary lightness skills allow him to evade Bai Qi's senses, which are equivalent to the state of mind of a god, with his Tongtian realm skills.
It was for this reason that Jiang Changsheng spared the God of Thieves' life, thinking that he might be of use in the future.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "It seems that His Majesty is ready to suppress the Burning Heaven Pavilion."
Li Min sneered, "It's time to suppress them. Over the years, Burning Heaven Pavilion has dominated the southern martial arts world and has amassed countless wealth and martial arts resources. Recently, a large number of White Guards have left the capital. It won't be long before Emperor Yang Zhao becomes a rat crossing the street again."
No matter how powerful the Burning Heaven Pavilion is, it can never be stronger than the Dajing royal family. With the Zhenwu Pavilion and the call of the martial arts imperial examination, the power of the warriors has accumulated over the years to an extremely terrifying level, enough to sweep the world.
Li Min said some more news and then went down the mountain.
Wang Chen propped up the wooden handle of his broom and said with emotion, "I haven't seen Eunuch Li for a long time. I miss him a little."
His hair gradually turned white and he was no longer young.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Everyone has his own destiny, and he has lived long enough."
Eunuch Li is only a few years younger than Jiang Yuan. Now that Dajingdu has been established for sixty-one years, Eunuch Li is already over ninety years old.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Master, I think you really don't age. Like Hua Jianxin, although he is always young, he still shows vicissitudes when facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But you really look like an eighteen-year-old."
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because I didn't go down the mountain. Unlike her, I have experienced too many life and death, grudges and grievances."
Wang Chen felt it was possible, but he really admired Jiang Changsheng for being able to stay in the mountains all the time. He was a true cultivator.
Arakawa suddenly walked in quickly and said, "Master, Ling Xiao has come down the mountain again. I think he wants revenge."
Ling Xiao's journey down the mountain was not smooth before. Although he brought back a group of new disciples, he also lost two of his fellow disciples. During this period, he acted chivalrously and saved a woman, but the woman's enemies still chased him. Ling Xiao was besieged by an entire sect and witnessed the woman being killed. He then fled with his disciples. It was Arakawa who arrived in time and saved them. That battle also made Arakawa famous in the martial arts world.
But Ling Xiao has changed. He used to be shy, but now he is taciturn. Relying on his talent and Qiankun Tianjing, he successfully entered the Tongtian realm this year and his strength transformed.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Let him be. The Jianghu is all about taking revenge."
He is used to seeing things like this.
Once upon a time, his senior brother even turned into a demon for a woman.
Arakawa sighed and said, "He doesn't like that woman, but he just can't get over it. The martial arts world has its own rules. As long as the fighting in the martial arts world doesn't get out of hand, the government won't intervene, so he wants to rely on himself."
Bai Qi teased beside him: "Why don't you have a time when you are infatuated?"
Arakawa said proudly: "My grandfather is the Demon Lord. I have seen life and death since I was a child. Can Ling Xiao compare with me?"
"Hey, why did I hear that someone was hunted down by the Burning Heaven Pavilion and returned to the temple in a panic?"
"Who told you that?"
The man and the wolf began to quarrel.
Baiqi is a foul-mouthed guy, and this is his only amusement.
After a while, Qing Ku also came.
Today is really lively.
Qing Ku, who has entered middle age, is now very prestigious in the temple, even more prestigious than the eldest disciple Wanli, and many young disciples are afraid of him.
"Senior brother, someone came to visit and claimed to be Master's disciple." Qing Ku said with a complicated expression.
The departure of Taoist Master Qingxu is still a thorn in the hearts of the old disciples. They don’t know why Taoist Master Qingxu left.
Jiang Changsheng's expression slightly changed, and he said, "If there is a letter from Master, let him stay."
Qing Ku said: "He said he wants to see you. If you don't see him, he won't come to Longqi Temple."
Jiang Changsheng wanted to say no, but thinking that this person's attitude was a bit strange, and this matter was related to Taoist Qingxu, he could only say: "Forget it, let him in."
Qing Ku turned around immediately.
Arakawa and Wangchen left tactfully, leaving Baiqi and Jiang Changsheng alone in the yard. Hua Jianxin went to the palace to accompany Jiang Xiu. She no longer practiced martial arts and focused on taking care of Jiang Xiu. The grandmother's love for her grandson was so strong that Jiang Changsheng often sighed.
After an incense stick of time, Qing Ku brought a Taoist priest into the hospital.
The man was wearing a black Taoist robe and looked to be about thirty years old. He had a light stubble around his mouth and looked a little weathered.
His eyes fell on Jiang Changsheng, and he couldn't help but be moved. He was obviously shocked by Jiang Changsheng's youth.
Jiang Changsheng gave Qing Ku a look, and Qing Ku immediately retreated.
The black-robed Taoist took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Changsheng. My name is Ning Ku."
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand to motion him to sit down, and then poured him tea.
After Ning Ku sat down, Jiang Changsheng asked, "Where is Master?"
Ning Ku had a complicated expression and said, "Master left Dajing. Originally, he wanted to send me to Longqi Temple, but one time, we ran into several warriors in a mountain inn. They claimed to be from Chaozong. At that time, I didn't understand what Chaozong was. It was Master who told me afterwards that Chaozong was a powerful sect that was superior to the Dynasty. Master heard that Chaozong was preparing to join forces to deal with Dajing. That day, the group of warriors slaughtered the inn and chased Master and me. Fortunately, we jumped into the sea and escaped the disaster. Later, we hid on an island to recuperate. It was two years later that we returned to Jing Dynasty. Master asked me to come back and tell you the news, and he went outside Jing Dynasty to seek a ray of hope."
Jiang Changsheng remained calm and asked, "How many Chaozong have joined forces?"
"Both parties."
"Only two parties?"
"Well, they are planning to mobilize the surrounding dynasties to besiege the Jing Dynasty. They know you are very strong, but you are just one person. They will wait until the Great Jing Dynasty is shattered, and then they will think of a way to deal with you."
Ning Ku's words made Jiang Changsheng raise an eyebrow.
Indeed, no matter how strong he is, he is only strong alone, and it is difficult for him to protect such a vast empire.
Even if he went to the lair of the two emperors alone, the other party could hide and keep fighting until the Dajing Dynasty was destroyed.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt the pressure.
We are not afraid of having many enemies, but we are afraid of them using their brains.
Ning Ku took out a letter from his arms, then raised the teacup, drank it all, and stood up and left.
Jiang Changsheng asked, "Where are you going?"
Ning Ku said: "I'm going to find Master. The main reason I came here is to bring you a message."
"The world is so big, where are you going to find it? Why don't you stay?"
"My life was saved by my master. I am not a disciple of Longqi Temple. Wherever my master is, that is my home."
Ning Ku left the courtyard without looking back.
When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he stopped trying to stop him.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and Taoist Qingxu is pleased to be able to train such a disciple.
But Jiang Changsheng can't learn from him. Now both the capital and Longqi Temple need him, and he can't leave.
Jiang Changsheng opened the letter. The content was similar to what Ning Ku said. There was no mention of concern. It seemed like an ordinary intelligence letter. However, the last sentence touched him a little.
"If you are powerless, take care of yourself."
Jiang Changsheng quietly put the letter away and then adjusted the incense value.
[Current incense value: 74003]
"All the Chaozong who are preparing to besiege Dajing are coming to besiege me. Can I suppress them easily?"
[Need to consume 4000 incense points, do you want to continue?]
Four thousand is not too outrageous.
The trouble is that the other party will target Dajing first.
Jiang Changsheng silently chose no, then sent a message to Jiang Ziyu in the palace, asking him to make preparations early.
…
In the twelfth year of Qianwu, the emperor ordered the dispatch of 800,000 troops to the border of the Jin Dynasty. He planned to swallow up the Jin Dynasty first!
The next month, a piece of bombshell news shocked the Dajing martial arts world. Emperor Yang Zhao of Fentian Pavilion surrendered to the court and was appointed as a fourth-rank general. All the disciples of Fentian Pavilion joined the army and rushed to the Jin Dynasty together.
Jiang Changsheng was also quite surprised to hear the news. He heard from Li Min that the emperor wrote a secret letter and asked the White Guard to give it to Emperor Yang Zhao. His people did not find out the specific content. Hua Jianxin had already left the White Guard and had no right to know.
That night.
Jiang Changsheng and Bai Qi opened their eyes at the same time . Even Bai Long, who was sleeping soundly, raised his head and all looked towards the direction of the imperial palace.
This breath is...
Godly man!
A true god!
It is even more powerful than the aura of the Juexin monk after burning his blood!
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes. This breath was safe. He finally succeeded.
With the full support of Jiang Ziyu, Ping An, at the age of 33, achieved the status of a deity. To have achieved that status at such a young age is definitely an amazing genius.
Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but sigh that although Jiang Yu was incompetent, he really gave birth to a good son. Ping'an's aptitude for martial arts was definitely the strongest he had ever seen. He had been extremely strong since he was a child and was a natural martial artist. Even Xu Tianji, who was once the number one genius in the martial arts world, was afraid of him.
Unfortunately, in order to support his illegitimate son, Jiang Yu poisoned Ping An and his mother, leaving Ping An with a broken life. Perhaps this was God's will, as God would not allow a healthy Ping An to be born.
Having said that, although Ping'an's qualifications were terrible, the main reason why he was able to become a god was that Jiang Ziyu was willing to spend all the rare treasures collected by the entire dynasty over the years on Ping'an alone. He spent two years soaking in the medicine pool alone. Fortunately, he succeeded.
