The life of Xingyue Yuan is peaceful.
Practice, make money, teach disciples.
Jiang Dongjia made a list and asked Shopkeeper Bai to collect it according to the order - all the fairy palace materials that Baiyun Boy remembered after friendly communication.
These days, the little fairy boy is carrying dozens of tomes and chewing them. They are all "Records of Strange Objects in the Modern World" and "Collections of Strange Treasures", etc., which are used to allow him to compare the differences between ancient and modern strange objects, awaken memory fragments, and find corresponding replacements.
Baiyun Boy visibly transformed into a boy with dark circles under his eyes, a bit like an iron-eating beast.
Regardless of whether Yunding Immortal Palace can be restored to its peak level, Jiang Zhenren has become ruthless. Since Xu Wan, Yang Zhen, and Xu Qiuci are all willing to spend a lot of money to repair it, does it have value?
"Baiyun, reading more will only do you good, not bad. Will I harm you?"
The boy Baiyun flipped through the book and said nothing.
"Junior brother." Zhu Weiwo came upstairs at this time and sat down opposite Jiang Wang: "I have made some progress in spear skills recently. I want to find a place to practice. Yu Yuan has been there earlier, so there is no need to go again. You have Any suggestions?"
After the battle of Fazhuang, everyone who participated in the murder of the real people made some progress.
Zhu Weiwo has always been a fighting genius. After experiencing such a life and death battle, the harvest will naturally be huge.
Jiang Wang looked at him: "Your injury is not completely healed yet. Why are you so anxious?"
Zhu Weiwo just smiled lightly and said nothing.
There are too many people in this world who are struggling day and night. As far away as Lin Xian is when he returns home, as close as Zhong Liyan who has just left, who dares to relax?
I wish I had a special reason.
Hard?
His beloved is still imprisoned in the huge city.
Danger?
Is he a person who is afraid of danger?
Jiang Wang couldn't persuade him, and he didn't intend to do so anymore. He just said, "I'm going with my senior brother. We, our senior brothers, will join hands to show off our power!"
He added: "When you reach the level of Senior Brother, the general small world is a side trip, and there is no point in waiting for dangerous places. It is nothing more than the Demon Realm, the Mysterious Realm, the Border Wasteland, the Yuyuan, the Meteor Immortal Forest, and the Disaster Water.
"The Demon Realm is a place where nations compete. If you go there alone, you won't be able to grasp the situation, and it's easy to be swept away by accidents. Well... the most important thing is
The demon clan has some objections to me and I can’t go again.
"The war in the Mysterious Realm was about to end. Gao Jie sealed this world before he died, so that the gods could not enter. But there are several special areas in the Mysterious Realm, in which there are caves, there may even be ways to evolve, and there is also the possibility of transcendence. Weapons. Senior brother's cultivation is appropriate, but I'm afraid he won't get much experience. The opponents inside now are either too strong or too weak.
"It's not appropriate to be in the wilderness. I just erected a monument. If I continue to provoke, trouble will easily happen.
"Senior Brother Yu Yuan has already been there. I'm not very familiar with the Fallen Immortal Forest. How about going to Huoshui? I've been to that place once. There are all kinds of evil sights and you can't kill them all. It's quite suitable to hone your fighting skills. Of course, it is also very dangerous. There are existences beyond the first level, but there is no possibility of them being born in the short term."
Zhu Weiwo did not hesitate: "Then go to Huoshui."
Jiang Wang said: "Then it's settled. But I have to go out for a while. When I come back, we can set off together."
Of course I knew Zhu Wei, but Jiang Wang still hoped that he would fully recover from his injuries before going out, so he just asked: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Wang said: "Qi State."
Zhu Weiwo raised his sword eyebrows: "Have you not already left Qi and cut off contact? Why are you going to Qi?"
Jiang Wang looked at Dongfang and said blankly: "Go see old friends and settle some old matters."
…
…
Jiang Wang didn't take Chu Yao with him when he went to Qi State, because he was afraid that the child would return to Linzi, experience the prosperity of Linzi, and not want to come to Xingyueyuan again.
Since he is going to embark on the path of cultivation, all the training he has done so far is to lay the foundation for transcendence. It is not a good thing to have no focus. After all, the road is long and difficult, and the peak is difficult to climb.
When he met Emperor Qi in Donghua Pavilion, Jiang Wang said what he wanted——
"Seeking for the truth, seeking for the true invincibility, seeking to cut down the barriers in the heart, seeking for a fulfilling life."
He has sought and obtained the secret of truth.
The barriers in my heart have been destroyed in the underworld.
He was about to take great strides forward on the path of becoming truly invincible.
This life is exactly what he wants to do.
The immortality of gods is just a pseudo-immortality because the body is indestructible for 518 years. The real person is returning to his origin and seeing true immortality. This process of seeing true immortality and understanding true immortality is the truth of truth.
Jiang Wang is taking the path of "true self". Although this path is rare, it is not unprecedented. However, everyone's "I" is different, and everyone's path is difficult to walk.
Although he has "made it clear from the gods", he has reached the limit of the presence of gods and has mastered himself. And "the truth of the cave world", gaining insight into the world.
But "understanding oneself" and "seeing the world" are eternal practices. He just reached a certain stage at a certain time in his life. But which one is "me", me now or me then? Is the truth we see now really the only truth?
If it stops here, that's all.
The true self he envisioned was not to do as he pleased, but to do as he pleased without violating the rules.
The debts that should be paid must be paid, the debts that should be paid must be paid, and the things that should be done must be done.
Since you are truly like yourself, pleasure is also a practice.
When Jiang Zhenren came out of Xingyueyuan, he flew across the eastern region and headed for Linzi.
Of course, in the border town of Daqi, he also pressed the cloud and registered for entry - giving a false name of Ling Dugu, and even bribed him with a small amount of money.
There is no problem with the identity certificate. It wasn't that he had to give money to get in, but he was deliberately trying to find out the official situation of the border guards, and by the way, he was allowed to join the queue and go through the VIP channel to avoid having to wait long.
In fact, human nature cannot be tested.
When he added one hundred taels of silver. A team from the border guard drove him directly from the west gate to the east gate.
The people in the car had been sizing him up. When he got out of the car, he said something mysteriously: "Has anyone ever said that you look like the former Marquis of Wu'an? There was a photographic stone that recorded his image in the military. I’ve seen it several times.”
Jiang Wang laughed: "Don't worry, I won't sue you. It's not a shame for you to earn some extra money without harming others with the money I voluntarily gave you. But don't let it happen again."
I patted his shoulder and left.
Only the team was left standing there in a daze.
…
Jiang Wang used his steps as a carriage, all the way from the border town to Linzi. On the official roads extending in all directions, you can see the scenery of the world and the traffic of vehicles. Achieving the truth of the cave is like a new life. It's time to look at the world with novelty.
The scenery of Dongguo is beautiful, long time no see!
But at a certain moment, he suddenly stood still and looked calmly ahead.
A gap opened in the space, and a man wearing a scribe's robe, with a white face and no beard, walked out. He tore the space into a page like tearing paper, then withdrew his hand and closed the space. With a slight smile on his face: "Long time no see, Hou - I should call Zhenren Jiang!"
"Manager Han!" Jiang Wang looked at him with a smile: "Or the leader of the watchmen, Mr. Han?"
Although Han Ling changed into a scholar's uniform and began to adopt an elegant style, he still didn't change his habit of wrapping his hands in his sleeves. You always felt that he was going to take out a roll of imperial edicts at the next moment.
"I have only been on duty for a few days, how come you know this? Did Marquis Bowang tell you?"
"Bo Wanghou will not tell me this. How can I hear the secrets of the top officials of Qi State? It's because your clothes are too obvious. I can tell at a glance." Jiang Wang said: "I have never taken off your clothes when I met Mr. Han in the past. That scarlet official uniform."
Han Ling cupped his hands and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet. See you today. You are already a real person in this world! Thinking of the day you were granted the title of Marquis, I went to invite you and the Champion Marquis to enter... It seems like yesterday, it is amazing! They say that when a horse passes by, don't take it lightly. After all, you and the champion are both people that time cannot catch up with."
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "I don't even congratulate Master Han. After many years of accumulation, he achieved success in one day. Reaching a high position also proves this truth!"
From the perspective of an internal official, being the chief internal manager in this life is the limit.
Judging from the emperor's private message, being the leader of the watchmen in this life is the pinnacle.
In terms of personal cultivation, the real person in this world has reached the threshold of cultivation listed in the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall.
For many years, Han Ling remained anonymous, just quietly serving the king, keeping silent and seizing power. He was really an extraordinary figure.
But in front of Jiang Wang, he was very gentle and humble, shaking his head and saying: "Although we both proved Dongzhen, I took advantage of the situation to achieve it. You are the first in Qing Dynasty, and the gap is still very big."
Han Ling's words were really too modest.
Just like the cultivation threshold of Zhengshi Hall and Military Military Hall is Dongzhen,
Just like the imperial court official and the commander-in-chief of the nine soldiers, they both have to be worshiped by a large number of national figures, and they are positions that can "nurture truth". But except for the top Shenlin like Chongxuan Chu Liang, how can any ordinary Shenlin cultivator be able to reach the top?
I really want to get along and take advantage of the situation to support the real people, but I don’t care how fierce the competition within the overlord country is, whether it is willing to support idle people!
Generally speaking, a court official or a commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers must either have made great achievements, be loyal and loyal for generations, and have been honored for many generations. He must also be a strong man.
Let’s talk about Da Qi’s internal officials.
Since Han Ling came down, there are eight eunuchs who hold pens and eight eunuchs who follow the hall. They have equal status. They are all powerful people under Han Ling. They are all cultivated by gods.
If Han Ling were an ordinary God, how could he suppress them?
The former leader of the watchmen, Zhu Sui, was a figure from Yan Dao and a strong man who had been patrolling the night for the country for more than a thousand years. If Han Ling were an ordinary Dongzhen, how could Emperor Qi allow him to take this position?
That Zheng Shi was also a confidant of the emperor. He had been a confidant for many years. He had worked hard and made great achievements, and his ability was obvious to all. Didn't he become the commander-in-chief of Zhan Yu even now? He already lacked nothing but cultivation.
He is also one of the strongest men in the Divine Realm, but he is not strong enough, not as strong as Chongxuan Chu Liang, let alone the aristocratic family behind Chongxuan Chu Liang.
In a world with extraordinary power, if you are not strong enough, you are not strong-willed.
The Emperor of Qi was not a nepotistic king.
Jiang Wang said with a smile: "I am alone, Master Han has the emperor above his head, and the overlord behind him. There is indeed a huge gap, and I look up to him."
"Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other." Han Ling seemed to be in a good mood and greeted: "Now that you are here, why don't you fly straight to Zi? This step by step is like being treated slowly by our family!"
Jiang Wangdao: "After I entered the country, I thought about it and decided not to bother Mr. Han with carrying me!"
"Jian Zhenren's heart is as fine as hair." Han Ling also smiled: "As a night watchman of Daqi, I still have to ask you - what's the matter here?"
Jiang Wang said seriously: "I want to visit the Emperor, and this is the first thing I do when I come to the west."
Han Ling looked at him thoughtfully and said, "You fly by yourself today, the emperor has given permission."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems that the emperor is still closer to Master Han..."
Han Ling said: "I have no merits except loyalty."
Jiang Wang said: "I still want to take a walk. I haven't walked this road for a long time. I used to be in a hurry to practice and didn't have time to take a good look at this place. The first twenty-three years of my life were too busy, and now I want to spend time on important things. Slow down all the time.”
"You said you should be slow, but you turned out to be the most sincere in history!" Han Ling smiled and said sideways: "Then I will go with Master Jiang for a walk, please!"
The two walked side by side on the right side of the official road, talking as they walked, so as not to hinder the post horses that might rush there.
Jiang Wang asked: "I forgot to ask Mr. Han, who is the head of the internal officials now?"
Han Ling asked: "Who does Jiang Zhenren hope?"
Among the eight Bingbi people and the eight Suitang people, the only one Jiang Wang was familiar with was Qiu Ji, and the one he recognized was Zhong Liwen.
He only said: "It's just a casual question, what hope do I have? This matter of state can only be decided by the emperor himself."
Han Ling said: "I wonder if you are familiar with the eunuch Huo Yanshan?"
Jiang Wang shook his head: "Not only have I never seen it, but I have also never heard of it."
Han Ling said with emotion: "Gentlemen are in a group but not in a party, and villains are in a party but not in a group. Jiang Zhenren was a prince in the past, but he can't be called a gentleman because he knows how to write and follow the court!"
These sixteen eunuchs are always at the king's side and are true confidants. Anyone who is an official in Qi should have something to do. Even if you don't form cliques, you should still make friends with them. A few words at a critical moment may make a big difference in the situation!
A person like Jiang Wang who is indifferent, does not take power or establish influence, and who is in a high position but lives in isolation and only cares about his cultivation is really an outlier.
Faced with such praise, Jiang Wang said: "I was studying earlier and read that 'a gentleman is not party-minded, and his misfortune will be unaided; a villain's friendship will be beneficial to others. If moral justice is not punished, there will be no solution to the misfortune. Everywhere must be trapped.’ It feels very reasonable.
"I think there is no single truth in the way people face the world, and there is not necessarily one way that is more correct. Everyone faces different situations and has different positions.
"As for me, although I am not a party member, I am still dedicated to spiritual practice. I live in vain and have not done much for the people. I consider myself not a gentleman."
Han Ling listened quietly and felt that the current Jiang Wang was indeed different from before. Who was the youngest real person in history thinking of when he said these words?
…
…
This is not the first time Jiang Wang has come to Delu Palace.
This was the second time he stood in the square in front of Delu Palace.
When he left last time, he and Zhong Xuanzun beat this place to a pulp.
Now there is no trace of the battle.
Just like after he left Qi State, Qi State was still glorious.
The world is not alone in conspiracies, and Daqi is not alone in Jiang Wang.
After standing here for two hours, someone from the hall came out to make a statement.
Jiang Wang then saw Huo Yanshan, the new internal manager.
This man is tall and burly, a rare figure among the internal officials. Suppressing the sound, it is also a low sound, not like the softness or sharpness of other internal organs.
"What should I call you?" His face was purple. I don't know if he was born like this or if he had practiced some special skills. When he came to Jiang Wang, his attitude was not distant.
After all, he is the most sincere person in Qing Dynasty. After standing for so long, Jiang Wang's face showed no signs of impatience. Instead, he was as kind as a spring breeze and said warmly: "Mr. Huo, you don't have to be polite. Just call me by my first name."
Huo Yanshan then said: "Zhenren Jiang, your Majesty has summoned you."
Jiang Wang nodded as a courtesy: "I'll have the manager lead the way."
The steps were so slow that even the change from Han Ling to Huo Yanshan as the chief internal officer seemed to have a harsh tone.
Delu Palace was the place where the emperor practiced cultivation. It was relatively less solemn.
But the palace is wider and the buildings are taller, and the emperor is more casual.
"Casual" means...he is more likely to lose his temper.
Huo Yanshan's back grew taller and taller.
The open door of the palace is like two guillotines set aside.
Jiang Wang took a deep breath and stepped into the hall.
