On the top of the Luoyang City Wall, Jiang Yunqing stood on the spire, wearing a green dress that fluttered in the wind, making his slender and strong figure obvious. His long black and white hair was flying in the wind. He had never been in the habit of tying up his hair.
"By the way, do you really have no idea about your Daliang throne?"
"Um!"
Zhu Youwen lay on the tiles of the city tower with his hands on his pillow, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, squinting his eyes and falling asleep with nothing to do, turning a blind eye to the palace that could easily be seen from his position.
"Now that Zhu Wen and Zhu Yougui are dead, you can get the country at your fingertips!"
Jiang Yunqing looked at the palace in the distance, still not convinced that Zhu Youwen really had no idea at all. After all, for people of this era, the temptation of the throne was terrifying.
Moreover, some of the children of aristocratic families are crazy to death, unlike Jiang Yunqing, a social beast of later generations, who is a salty fish with no ambitions.
"Haha, I feel like you are talking nonsense. When Zhu Wen was here, it was still possible to make me the prince and help me ascend the throne. Now that Zhu Wen is dead, why should I, an adopted son, sit on that dragon throne?"
"That idiot Zhu Yougui has always been a thorn in my side. If Zhu Wen really made me the crown prince and wanted me to succeed him, he could have accumulated his power and waited until Zhu Wen 'abdicated' the throne. When I ascended the throne, wouldn't it be justifiable to launch a coup?" "
Zhu Youwen spoke so eloquently that even Jiang Yunqing had to sigh: "What you said makes sense!"
"Pfft~, so, compared to this, I'm more interested in what you said about Yuan Tiangang!"
Zhu Youwen spit out the dogtail grass in his mouth, opened his eyes, and looked at Jiang Yunqing standing on the top of the tower with a flag waving in the wind.
He originally didn't want to join Jiang Yunqing's group. He thought about unifying the Xuanming Sect after he came out. However, Jiang Yunqing gave him too much, and it was really, really, really hard for him to refuse.
Not only did he give him the second half of the Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art, but he also promised to make him stronger. The condition was that he needed his help to deal with the most powerful person in the world.
By the way, is this a special condition? This is such a naked temptation. If you want to be truly invincible, don't you have to trample the strongest person in the world under your feet? So, he agreed without hesitation.
Of course, this premise is that he can feel that Jiang Yunqing's strength is not weaker than that of himself at his peak.
Since Jiang Yunqing of this level can be called the strongest in the world, and he needs to fight with many masters to fight against him, then even if this person is not the strongest in the world, he is probably close to him.
Especially since Zhang Xuanling, an old guy, had also met that person, his self-evaluation was insignificant in front of that person. He had no reason not to believe it.
In order to realize his inner ambition, Zhu Youwen decisively boarded Jiang Yunqing's pirate ship.
Jiang Yunqing glanced down and showed a sincere smile.
"What a coincidence, I thought so too!"
If he was thinking of confronting Yuan Tiangang out of fear before, then his purpose may have changed since the sun rose in Jiao Lan Palace.
Rather than fearing him, it is better to defeat him. It may be very difficult, but this life requires more or less challenges and difficulties in order to feel the joy of success and conquest, right?
"By the way, are you really sure that the bad guy is Yuan Tiangang? I'm talking about the Yuan Tiangang in our impression."
Zhu Youwen still has some impressions of Yuan Tiangang, a famous figure in the early Tang Dynasty, but he is not very impressed. After all, he lived hundreds of years ago, and more than twenty emperors of the Tang Dynasty have died.
But can a person really live three hundred years? This is really ridiculous, that is, what Jiang Yunqing said, if it were black and white, Zhu Youwen might have to open their heads to see if they had any serious illness.
"Otherwise? Do you think a normal person can beat me half to death without any effort?" Jiang Yunqing spread his hands and asked helplessly.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be really hard for people to believe this kind of thing. Wasn't Zhang Xuanling also doubtful at the beginning? It was only after witnessing Jiang Yunqing's fight with the bad handsome man that he felt the need to find more helpers.
"Are you really a normal person?" Zhu Youwen curled his lips and muttered.
Is Jiang Yunqing's level of cultivation something that a normal person at the age of twenty-four can possess? At least Zhu Youwen felt that this was not normal.
"You are tainting someone's innocence for no reason. I have a nose, eyes, arms and legs, so why am I not a normal person?"
Jiang Yunqing retorted angrily, but Zhu Youwen acted as if he hadn't heard and just muttered to himself.
"In this way, it is quite reasonable. With three hundred years of skill, he must be the strongest in the world. But how did he live for so long?"
"Elixir!"
Jiang Yunqing gave the answer to solve Zhu Youwen's question.
"Elixir?"
But Zhu Youwen didn't quite believe in this answer. He focused his doubtful eyes on Jiang Yunqing's facial expression, trying to see if you were teasing me.
"Um!"
Unfortunately, facing Zhu Youwen's doubts, Jiang Yunqing still nodded solemnly.
"Is this really possible?"
Zhang Xuanling's voice came from the tiles on the other side of the tower, behind where Zhu Youwen was.
He is a Taoist priest, and he is a Taoist priest at the level of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. Alchemy and medicine refining are also within his areas of expertise.
According to what he understood, the so-called "elixir" was just a fantasy that existed in legends.
That's right, it's just fantasy, the fantasy of people who don't think about practicing and want to reach heaven in one step.
It’s a joke. Only through repeated practice day after day can you become an immortal. Do some people with delusions deserve to live forever?
"It shouldn't be possible. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would have been in the hands of Emperor Taizong for a long time. How could there be such troubled times?"
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Xuanling did not think that this matter was possible. After all, he was a professional Taoist priest. Although he had not practiced external alchemy, he still had some understanding of it.
Jiang Yunqing nodded in agreement, "It's not the elixir you think of. Yuan Tiangang's 'elixir' can be more accurately regarded as an accident."
"Accident?"
Zhang Xuanling and Zhu Youwen said in surprise in unison, and they immediately became energetic after saying this.
The two of them are not people who have never seen the world. They naturally have their own judgments about things. Naturally, they will not believe the illusory elixir. After all, it is too unrealistic.
But if it is some special "accident", there is still a certain possibility. After all, even if the bad handsome man is really Yuan Tiangang in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, he will only be 350 years old by all means.
For people like them who have reached the great heaven, it is normal for them to die at the age of one hundred to twenty years.
Of course, except for those who practice evil and paranoid techniques, most of them trade their lives for cultivation.
If you really find some genius treasure or something, it might be possible to extend your life by dozens or hundreds of years. If you think about it this way, Yuan Tiangang's life span of 350 years is not so unacceptable.
On the wall under the city tower, Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling were alert to their surroundings, and at the same time listened to the conversation above the city tower with their ears pointed.
From the changes in their expressions, they both knew they had heard something terrible.
