Chapter 9: The Magical Instruments Are Powerful, Would You Like to Become the Abbot?

The moon is bright in the sky and the stars are shining brightly.
In the courtyard, a group of disciples stood on the corridor, shouting excitedly. Qing Ku was sparring with Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng stood in place without moving, with his left hand behind his waist and his right hand blocking Qing Ku. No matter how Qing Ku attacked, he could always easily resolve it and push it away.
At the age of sixteen, he was handsome and stood out in the crowd.
Qing Ku practiced the Nine-Seeking Heavenly Dragon Steps taught by Jiang Changsheng. This step was exquisite, but had no substantial attack power, so Qing Ku's offensive moves were the martial arts of Longqi Temple.
It has to be said that most of the martial arts in Longqi Temple are very poor. In Jiang Changsheng's opinion, they are no different from the traditional martial arts on Earth in his previous life.
Jiang Changsheng pushed Qing Ku away with one hand again. Qing Ku retreated seven steps, staggered, and fell to the ground.
Qing Ku helplessly cried out: "Not coming anymore."
The disciples around him cheered and praised the Third Brother for his prowess.
Since reaching the fourth level of Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong, Jiang Changsheng would occasionally instruct other disciples. As a result, the image of the third senior brother was established and his prestige grew.
Jiang Changsheng was just about to ask if anyone else wanted advice when the gate to the courtyard was pushed open. Everyone turned their heads to look and were immediately frightened and ran back to their rooms.
Qing Ku quickly got up and ran back into the house. Only Jiang Changsheng and the newcomer were left in the courtyard.
"Third Junior Brother, go to bed early at night and don't indulge these little bastards."
Meng Qiuhe walked up to Jiang Changsheng and spoke earnestly. He frowned and a few strands of white hair appeared on his temples.
In just two years, he was a completely different person. The once lively and cheerful second brother had now turned into a gloomy man who was crazy about martial arts...
Jiang Changsheng felt emotional. After all, it was all because of him. If he had not been rescued to Longqi Temple, the situation would have been different.
But he didn't cause all this, he was also a victim.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Okay, Big Brother."
Meng Qiuhe stared at him with a burning gaze and said, "Third Junior Brother, two years ago, you were able to kill the Evil King. How strong are you now? When will you spar with me?"
Jiang Changsheng didn't want to hit Meng Qiuhe, so he declined politely: "Forget it, it was just the evil king's carelessness at the beginning, I'm actually no match for him, big brother, I'm tired, I'll go back and rest first, we can practice sword together when we have time."
Having said that, he turned and walked towards his house.
Meng Qiuhe asked, "I heard that Li Changqing has reached the pinnacle of his realm. Third Junior Brother, do you want to go down the mountain and explore the world?"
So fast?
Could it be that he has practiced some magic?
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself, he waved his hand and said: "I don't want to go down the mountain, I just want to stay in Longqi Temple and live in peace with the world."
Meng Qiuhe watched him enter the house before turning around and leaving.
Back on the bed, Jiang Changsheng frowned.
What did Meng Qiuhe mean by what he said just now?
This guy also wants to learn from Li Changqing?
He thought for a while and decided not to meddle in other people's business, then he closed his eyes and began to practice.
The next morning, he came back after ringing the Taoist bell, and Qing Ku was not in the room, so he took out the Qilin whisk from his mind. He was worried that he would not be able to put the survival reward back after taking it out, so he had not taken it until now. Now it was time to take it.
During this period of time, he mastered the sword-controlling technique thoroughly. Apart from practicing the Taoist natural skills, he had nothing else to do, so he might as well play with some magic weapons.
The Qilin whisk appeared out of thin air in his hand. This whisk looked no different from an ordinary whisk, but the handle was white jade in color and looked like a white bone.
He held the Qilin whisk and could feel the magic power surging inside. It was indeed a magic weapon with its own spiritual power.
A memory emerged in his mind, telling him how to make the magic weapon recognize its master. He began to imitate it, probing his spiritual consciousness into the Qilin whisk and breaking the restrictions inside the magic weapon.
Half an hour later, the Qilin whisk successfully recognized him as its master. After that, it began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth autonomously, which was very magical.
When Jiang Changsheng injected spiritual power into the Qilin whisk, the long whiskers on it could extend freely, and he could also control them to perform actions such as binding and hitting.
Wonderful!
Jiang Changsheng tried to put the Qilin whisk back into his mind, but failed.
Once the survival reward items are taken out, they can only exist in reality.
Although he felt a little regretful, he could do so.
From then on, Jiang Changsheng wore the Taihang sword on his waist and held the Qilin whisk in his hand, looking like an immortal. When a disciple asked about the whisk, he said it was given to him by Chen Li. All the disciples in the temple knew that Chen Li and the fourth prince would occasionally come to visit him.
Not only these two people, there were also other dignitaries who wanted to visit Jiang Changsheng. At first, he accepted them, but after many times, he declined because those people just wanted to meet him and did not have Chen Li's sincerity.
The summer is scorching, and the space is slightly distorted.
"Brother Changsheng, I have to join the army. I won't be able to come visit you within five years. I hope you can forgive me."
The young man spoke in front of Jiang Changsheng with high spirits. He put his hands on his waist and was sweating profusely, but his energy was still high.
Jiang Changsheng had just finished instructing the Divine Shadow Leg and was about to send him away, but he didn't expect him to say these words.
Jiang Changsheng asked, "Where are you going to join the army? Not in the capital?"
The Dajing Dynasty was established for sixteen years. There was internal harmony and peace, but the external wars never stopped. There were always wars in the north, and a group of generals with outstanding military achievements were born every year.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Of course I'm heading north. I want to flatten the desert and destroy the ancient Khan."
Gu Khan was a dynasty to the north of the Da Jing Dynasty. It had a vast territory and often invaded neighboring dynasties. The predecessor of the Da Jing Dynasty, the Chu Dynasty, was once conquered by Gu Khan for a period of time, and most of the country was lost. The royal family and the people were all humiliated, which led to the people of the Da Jing Dynasty still having a deep-seated hatred for Gu Khan.
In addition to pursuing immortality, the current emperor's biggest goal is to crush the ancient Khan and achieve immortal feats.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "It's not easy for a prince to join the army. You have to think about it carefully."
Jiang Yu grinned and said, "There's nothing I can do. If I don't join the army, I won't be able to compete with my elder brother."
Jiang Changsheng was stunned . This was the first time that Jiang Yu expressed his ambition to him.
The fake prince's faction is becoming increasingly powerful. It is said that he already controls two of the six ministries, and he personally supervises the government offices in the capital. At the age of sixteen, he is capable of handling government affairs. Many people are already looking forward to what kind of prosperity he will bring to Dajing after he ascends the throne.
As for the current emperor, people have many complaints about him, saying that building the canal is a waste of money and labor.
Jiang Changsheng followed up and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
Jiang Yu asked curiously, "If my elder brother or other princes had come to win you over in recent years, would you have come down the mountain?"
He looked casual, but he was extremely nervous.
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and laughed: "Of course not. If I wanted fame and fortune, I would have listened to your majesty and participated in the military imperial examination."
Jiang Yu smiled and turned to leave.
"Brother Changsheng, wait for me to ride back to the capital. I will carry forward your martial arts on the battlefield!"
The boy's loud laughter echoed among the buildings. At the age of fourteen, he was full of confidence and energy.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the pastries beside him with a look of regret.
I won’t be able to eat such delicious pastries for a long time.
The Fourth Prince's departure from the capital did not cause any waves in the capital. There are more than ten princes now, and a crown prince has been appointed, so the Fourth Prince's presence is not high.
Jiang Changsheng did not slack off after breaking through the fourth level of Taoist Natural Kung Fu, and continued to practice hard every day.
As the days passed, the leaves in Longqi Temple began to turn yellow, heralding the arrival of autumn.
Longqi Temple has returned to its former state. Every now and then, dignitaries come here to burn incense and seek the truth, and there are also knights who come to stay and relax. Although Jiang Changsheng is the third disciple, he usually does not receive guests, and other disciples are responsible for that. Currently, the person in charge of Longqi Temple is the second sister Meng Qiushuang.
Meng Qiuhe and Meng Qiushuang are biological siblings. Their parents were killed by robbers when they were young. Fortunately, they were rescued by Taoist Qingxu and brought to the mountain together.
At noon, Jiang Changsheng meditated on the Taoist bell tower, facing the scorching sun, practicing Qigong and absorbing the weather between heaven and earth.
Qing Ku suddenly ran downstairs and shouted, "This is terrible, Senior Brother, our Senior Brother ran away again!"
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, stood up and looked down at Qing Ku in front of the guardrail, and asked, "What do you mean? Are you talking about Brother Meng or Brother Li?"
"Of course it's Senior Brother Meng. To be more precise, another Senior Brother has escaped!"
Qing Ku said in a hurried voice, his tone anxious.
Jiang Changsheng frowned, turned over and jumped, landing lightly like a white crane. Qing Ku was already accustomed to his movements and immediately led the way.
The two of them quickly arrived in front of the Mingxin Hall, where most of the disciples gathered. Those who did not come were either responsible for guarding the mountain gate or entertaining guests.
Inside the hall, Taoist Qingxu had his back to them, holding a letter in his hand, and remained silent.
Meng Qiushuang gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I will go find him!"
Jiang Changsheng was surprised. Meng Qiuhe went down the mountain without bringing his sister?
Taoist Qingxu sighed and said, "No need. Just respect him. Qiuhe is different from Changqing. He did not join the Demon Sect. He just wants to seek more powerful strength. Maybe you will see him again in the capital in the future."
He turned around and looked at his disciples.
Jiang Changsheng saw that his expression was calm, and it seemed that he had already guessed it.
"Let Qiu Shuang take the position of the eldest disciple, and the other disciples will be promoted in status in turn." Taoist Qingxu said.
Jiang Changsheng became the second senior brother, and he felt helpless as his promotion was too fast.
He won't become the eldest senior brother if he waits another two years, right?
"Changsheng, follow me."
Taoist Qingxu waved his whisk, turned around and left. Upon hearing this, Jiang Changsheng hurriedly followed.
The other disciples continued to discuss Meng Qiuhe's descent from the mountain.
Passing through the Mingxin Hall and entering a long corridor, the noise from the outside world gradually faded away. Jiang Changsheng followed behind Taoist Qingxu, his mind full of thoughts, not knowing what he was going to say.
Jiang Changsheng still really wanted to know whether Taoist Qingxu knew his life experience and what he thought of it, so that he could decide how to take revenge.
He was not sure if there was anyone in the capital who could defeat him, so he had to be careful.
We came to a quiet courtyard. The yard was not big, and there was an old tree. The trunk was winding like a dragon, and the dense autumn leaves fluttered in the wind. A circle of yellow rings had accumulated on the ground.
Taoist Qingxu stopped, looked at the old tree, and slowly said, "Changsheng, do you want to go down the mountain?"
Jiang Changsheng was stunned and asked quickly, "Master, why did you drive me down the mountain?"
He didn't expect that Taoist Qingxu would mean this.
Taoist Qingxu said calmly: "If you don't want to leave the mountain, would you like to be the abbot of Longqi Temple in the future?"
