"This is impossible. I am already a Three Tribulation Ghost Immortal. The fist spirit of a high-level martial saint can hardly affect me. How can I be controlled by the obsession of a mortal soul?
"And the Yunding Tripod's ears were once an important instrument of luck in Kyushu. Even if it collapses, it is impossible to recognize a mortal as its master?"
Liu Qingshu shook his head, showing a doubtful expression. He obviously didn't agree with Jiang Li's words, but the latter had no reason to lie to him.
"Not only is Chuchu's soul normal, I didn't even detect the existence of the Yunding Instrument Ear on her body!"
Jiang Li stood up and walked around the courtyard, recalling all the details of his life after meeting Chuchu, but did not notice anything unusual.
In my memory, Chuchu’s hometown is in Yunzhou.
When she was young, the Seventeenth Mansion of Yunjing was attacked by the Beimang Rangers.
Due to drastic changes in Yunzhou and the loss of terrain barriers, the Beimang rangers easily broke through the Zhou defense line and rushed into the state capital to burn, kill and loot. For a time, everyone was devastated. Chuchu's parents also died under the Beimang cavalry.
The reinforcements of the Zhou Dynasty arrived and repulsed the Beimang Rangers. However, their homes were destroyed and there were countless orphans. They had to be sent to various provinces and counties for resettlement. Therefore, Chuchu had to work as a maid in Wuhou Mansion.
Later, he was punished by the eldest lady for his mistakes. It was Jiang Li's mother who stopped him and saved Chuchu's life. Only then did Jiang Li and Chuchu depend on each other for more than ten years.
"Mother!"
Jiang Li's eyes suddenly flashed.
The eldest lady, He Loushi, controlled all affairs of the Marquis Mansion and was harsh and harsh. She punished, punished and even beat to death countless servants and maids. Why did the mother only save Chu Chu?
At that time, my mother's Taoist realm had long since dissipated, and she was only treated slightly better in the Hou family, but her status and situation were actually more subtle and dangerous.
The Liangzhou tripod has always been in the hands of the mother. If she meets Chu Chu at that time, the Liangzhou tripod will sense the ears of the Yunding tripod and there will be some reaction.
"Could it be that my mother intentionally rescued Chuchu and kept her by my side in the hope that Chuchu could help me change my destiny with the luck carried by the ears of the Yunding device!"
Jiang Li deduced some possibilities in his mind, but his mother had been dead for many years, and the truth could no longer be discovered.
But even if his guess is true, it doesn't have much to do with the various strange phenomena that appeared in Chuchu.
"Sir, I got up late in the morning..."
The door of the house was opened, Chuchu rubbed her sleepy eyes, full of guilt and regret.
Or maybe she had been lingering with the young master for too long last night, and she felt like she couldn't wake up. She had no strength at all, and was as limp as a ball of cotton. There was still a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and there was a weird feeling with every step she took, which made her ears warm. , unbearably shy.
On the first day after the young master comes back, you should get up early and prepare breakfast for him.
Chuchu got up in a hurry, opened the door and was about to explain to the young master, but when she saw Liu Qingshu, her eyes suddenly lit up, "What a beautiful sister!"
Under the sun, Liu Qingshu sat quietly on a low stool, holding her chin with one hand, thinking quietly. She was as beautiful as an exquisite ink painting. The sun reflected from her body, and there was a dazzling light walking out of the clouds.
"Sir, this sister is..."
Chuchu was startled, the girl in front of her was breathtakingly beautiful, elegant and refined. Although it was only the first time she met her, it made her feel a long-lost joy and peace of mind, as if she had known her a long time ago.
"She is Liu Qingshu, the granddaughter of Qianjunhou Liu Honglie!" Jiang Li introduced.
"Are you Sister Liu?"
Chuchu was slightly surprised at first, and then he saluted in surprise.
She still didn't know about the marriage granted by Emperor Jing, but the young master still had an engagement with Qian Junhou Mansion.
In name, Liu Qingshu was still Jiang Li's unmarried wife.
Such a beautiful face and noble temperament are a perfect match for the young master.
"Sister Chuchu doesn't have to be so polite!"
Liu Qingshu quickly stepped forward to help Chuchu. Looking at the petite, cute and well-behaved girl in front of him, his originally cold eyes softened.
"I am traveling as a Yin God, and my body is left in Qianjunhou Mansion with no one to protect me. If I am discovered by my grandpa, he will inevitably scold me for my carelessness. When I return to Shengjing, I will visit you again in a while!"
Liu Qingshu briefly exchanged a few words with Chuchu, then jumped up and turned into a ray of divine light and fled away.
In the next few days, Jiang Li stayed in Yingyue Villa and spent time with Chuchu day and night.
During the day, he could study and practice, or teach Chuchu how to ride horses in the village. At night, he could go boating on the lake, watching the moon and tasting wine with Chuchu in his arms. It was rare for him to feel free and at ease.
Liu Qingshu also fulfilled his promise and came to Yingyue Villa as a guest a few days later, escorted by the guards of Qianjunhou Mansion.
The two women hit it off immediately, like sisters they hadn't seen for many years. They quickly became harmonious and familiar, and there was always endless things to say.
Chuchu has been living in the Hou Mansion since she was a child. Because of the deliberate targeting of the eldest lady He Loushi, the servants and maids in the manor avoided their master and servant. There was no female companion of similar age around Chuchu.
At this time, Jiang Li felt relieved when he saw that the two of them were getting along very well.
Moreover, with Liu Qingshu accompanying Chuchu, he could also concentrate on his practice.
On the way back to Beijing this time, he briefly met Jiang Shirong, and the power of the immortal put a lot of pressure on Jiang Li.
Martial art practice tempers the physical body. Without the blessing of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and top secret medicines, we can only proceed step by step, step by step, and we cannot rush it.
And he is still in Shengjing. Even if he has accumulated enough soul and has the strength to survive the thunder tribulation, he is not suitable to fly into the void and be tempered by thunder power in the near future.
Only Qi channel practice is not restricted by various factors.
"Lingbao Tianzun's Innate Qi Guidance Technique" is the world's supreme method of regulating breath. It can operate automatically, day and night, continuously accumulating true energy and improving his realm.
At this time, it had been several months since Jiang Li advanced to the life-threatening realm. Under the continuous operation of the "Lingbao Tianzun Xiantian Yiqi Guidance Technique", his Qi Meridian Realm had already entered the late stage of the life-threatening realm.
If you practice with all your strength, you can hope to break through the first life-threatening Yang Soul Transformation within half a month.
Yang soul transformation, majoring in physical fitness, practicing marrow and building foundation, meridians, sea of qi, flesh and blood, and bones can be greatly strengthened, changing the weak physical condition of qi meridians.
For ordinary cultivators in the life-threatening realm, when they reach this realm, their physical strength will be extremely close to that of the elementary martial saint.
Jiang Li's physical body is far superior to that of a martial saint of the same level, and is close to the body of a human immortal. If he can enter this realm, his body will be greatly increased, and his martial arts realm will also be improved accordingly.
"Sister Qingshu, is the sea really as magical as you said? What does the shark look like? I always thought it was just a legend!"
As night fell, the small pavilion in the lake was lit by candlelight. Chuchu and Liu Qingshu sat around the stone table, drinking tea and admiring the moon.
The table, which was about three feet wide, was filled with all kinds of precious fruits and exquisite pastries, and a small stove beside it was steaming.
The water has opened, but the young master who dived into the lake to practice has not returned.
Chuchu leaned on her face and listened to Liu Qingshu telling various strange stories about the sea, her eyes sparkling with yearning.
Since she was sent to Zhenwuhou when she was young, she has almost never left the area of Shengjing City.
"Of course sharks exist. Although they live deep under the sea, they will surface every full moon night and sing. Their songs contain magical power, and many large ships on long voyages will be attracted to them. If they cannot be awakened in time, once the sharks approach, , the bottom of the boat was torn apart by their claws!"
Liu Qingshu stretched out a finger, dipped some tea in it and drew the outline of the shark's face on the stone table.
The fish-tailed figure, covered in scales, with a ferocious face and bared teeth and claws, looked like a monster. Chuchu couldn't help but frown when he saw it, and all the hope in his heart was annihilated.
How could the legendary beautiful mermaid look like this?
"There are many kinds of sharks. I have only seen sharks under the Qiong Shark Sea. It is said that sharks also exist in the East Sea and the West Sea, and their shapes and appearances are different!"
Liu Qingshu smiled and said: "When King An Mang's canonization hall is over, you can ask him to take you to the East China Sea, South China Sea, and Kyushu."
"Young Master still has many important things to do. As long as I stay with Young Master, I will be happy. It doesn't matter where I go!"
Chuchu smiled sweetly and took Liu Qingshu's little hand, "When the time comes, sister Qingshu will also be with us. The young master is busy with work, so the two of us won't feel bored when we are together!"
"us……"
Liu Qingshu was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the center of the lake with complicated eyes. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
As the daughter of a marquis, it is often difficult to decide on marriage matters independently.
Although Emperor Jing had given her a marriage to Jiang Li, she knew that she had a special Yin spirit, and her body was also entangled by Yin evil spirits, so she could not give birth to an heir. If she really married Jiang Li, the lineage of King An Mang would probably be destroyed for the rest of her life. Died.
"Ming"
In the distant mountains, a soft cry suddenly sounded from this moment on.
The chirping was clear and melodious, like a harp, melodious and ups and downs, startling the two people in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"It's Young Master's Nine Nether Flame Bird Yan Xiyao!"
Chuchu turned around and looked at the place where the sound was heard, and saw a ray of fire leaping up from the dark forest, fluttering its wings high in the sky, looking towards the east with its phoenix head, as if it had discovered something.
"It's strange, why does Sister Yan look so nervous!"
Chuchu was a little surprised, but found that Liu Qingshu stood up at some point, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted together, and her eyes twinkling.
"Something is wrong. I seem to have sensed the arrival of many powerful divine thoughts!"
Liu Qingshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she grabbed Chuchu with one hand and protected her behind her, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
"There are many powerful spiritual thoughts passing by nearby, but their target is not us!"
Beside the two women, the air trembled slightly, and Jiang Li's figure appeared out of thin air. He also looked up at the dark cloud sky.
He could sense that there were countless spiritual fluctuations at this moment, flying continuously from the nearby cloud sky, like a shower of meteors, slamming into the brilliantly lit Kyushu's number one city dozens of miles away.
Some of these fluctuations made him feel palpitated and uneasy.
"It's Shengjing, their target is Shengjing!"
Liu Qingshu's heart tightened.
Although it is unclear why there are so many powerful spiritual thoughts heading towards Shengjing City, they are coming with bad intentions and will definitely conflict with Shengjing.
"Jiang Li, help me protect my body. I want to go back to Shengjing for a visit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gloomy wind blew up in the small pavilion in the lake, and Liu Ruoxi's gloomy spirit turned into a divine light and flew towards Shengjing City.
The Qianjunhou Mansion is close to the imperial city, and is protected by more than a thousand people in the mansion.
Moreover, if Shengjing is attacked, Liu Honglie, as a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will definitely stand up to stop it as soon as possible.
"Sir, will Sister Liu be okay?" Chuchu said worriedly.
"Don't worry Chuchu, with the young master here, Liu Qingshu will not be in danger!" Jiang Li comforted softly.
There was a flash of true energy in the body, and four lines of true energy separated into shapes, fell into the lake near the pavilion, and disappeared.
Jiang Li has entered the late stage of the Deadly Realm. Each of his true energy transformations is very powerful, and his combat power is comparable to that of a mid-level Martial Saint.
With them secretly guarding them, Chuchu and Liu Qingshu could protect themselves.
Even if a transcendent person really comes, as long as the four true energy transformations can block the instant, Jiang Li can use the magical power of Hiding the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth to return in one step.
"Chuchu, you wait for me here, I'll be right back!"
Strange power flowed in Jiang Li's body. After a few breaths, his appearance and aura completely changed. His footsteps flickered and his figure disappeared in an instant.
…
"Father, is my health really hopeless?"
In Shengjing City, in the space in the middle of the Yinwu Pavilion tower of Zhenwuhou Mansion, the medicinal gas filled the air, and Jiang Buli lay on the bed with a pale face.
The chaotically connected meridians, bones, and muscles in the body continue to grow and heal under the influence of various rare and precious medicines.
However, structures that should not be connected and grow together are forcibly fused with each other, causing unbearable pain, and all nerves and perceptions are thrown into chaos.
Jiang Buli is like a newborn baby who needs to re-familiarize himself with and regain control of his physical body.
His handsome face was distorted by severe pain, and his eyes were desperate and full of anger.
He could not accept the fact that he was deposed, and he was full of unforgettable hatred for the unknown mysterious man.
"Everything in your body has been disrupted, and a delicate balance has been maintained after reconnection. With my current methods, although I have the ability to reconnect your body, the process is too painful and complicated for you to endure. A little negligence will cause your body to collapse!"
Jiang Shirong put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the bed with a calm expression, "And deep inside your body, there are hidden methods of that person. Once I take action on your body, those hidden methods will be completely activated, and then you can only fall into An even worse state!"
"Damn it, who is it? Who destroyed me!"
Jiang Buli screamed ferociously, hoarse at the top of his lungs: "Father, you have to help me take revenge and capture that man. I will inflict a hundred times a thousand times the pain on him!"
"Bu Li, you need to avenge your revenge by yourself. Take a good rest and endure for a while. As long as you raise your realm to the peak of human immortality for your father, I can reshape your body with one hand!"
Jiang Shirong said slowly: "As for the person who hurt you, my father has sent someone to investigate. The way of heaven has not completely begun to change. Those ancient beings who have broken away from reincarnation should not have woken up yet. Even if some of them have begun to reincarnate, they are still in the process of reincarnation." In your weak stage, there are not many people in this world who can easily suppress you!"
"Father, the person who hurt me is really not a ghost alien?" Jiang Buli was a little confused.
"It shouldn't be the ghost tribe. Although those reincarnated aliens are powerful, they are also limited. They cannot have the strength to crush you. As for the ghost tribe's envoy? He is trapped in the quagmire and cannot protect himself. How can he have the power to hurt you?"
"Compared with them, Jiang Li is even more suspicious. Although this evil son's body is really crippled, it is impossible for him to sink. Anmang City is developing so fast, and it may not be without the support of the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty. The blood of Yin and Yang life and death is not trivial. , once the Taoism is accomplished, there will be unpredictable powers of ghosts and gods!" Jiang Shirong said.
"Father suspects that he has practiced Taoism?" Jiang Buli's expression changed.
"It is very possible that he was deposed by Hai Shiqi. With his intelligence, since he has experienced it personally, he may not be able to master this method!"
Jiang Shirong smiled coldly and was about to say something else when his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the sky.
"What kind of sneaky evil spirit dares to break into our imperial city of Great Zhou?"
The next moment, the terrifying martial arts will burst out from his body, soaring straight into the sky, sweeping in all directions.
