Time goes back to ten hours ago...
After giving the guards in the mansion two days off, Jiang Mu had nothing to do, so he returned to the study and started practicing.
Looking inside himself again, he could no longer see all the meridians in the body as clearly as before. Only the Dantian area was still shining with a blue mist. Jiang Mu didn't know why, so he tried to recite the spell given by He Xiangu. , it was really effective, just like an enlightenment, he instantly understood many things about this self-cultivation technique.
It turns out that this set of self-cultivation skills is called "Soldier Master", and it was accidentally obtained by Fairy He in a dangerous place. This technique is very difficult for people to practice. Fairy He tried many times but couldn't find the method. Seeing that she was destined to Jiang Mu, she gave it to Jiang Mu, hoping that he would actually master it.
Anyone who has practiced this technique, if they want to improve their strength further, must absorb a special power, called pure spiritual power, to light up the meridians in the body. When the meridians throughout the body are lit up, the body will become Like a peerless divine weapon, it is indestructible to water and fire, indestructible to thunder, and indestructible.
However, pure spiritual power does not often exist, and usually only exists in demons, ghosts and other evil objects that have successfully practiced it. Therefore, if you want to practice this technique specifically, you need to deal with monsters and ghosts frequently.
However, due to the witchcraft disaster in the Han Dynasty in the past, all princes, princes and ministers in subsequent dynasties were not allowed to come into contact with evil things. Once discovered, they would be demoted to common people and not allowed to enter the court. Unless Jiang Mu could join the Demon Suppression Division like the Fifth and Seventh Princes did, and as an Immortal Master of the Demon Suppression Division, he could exorcise ghosts and subjugate demons. However, this would be equivalent to giving up his position as Crown Prince, which was not what he wanted to see.
So after thinking about it, he finally thought of Yu Xuanji, so he told Zhu Lian that he had something to go out, and took Changfu out of the palace.
When he left, Yu Xuanji was reading a newspaper on the stone table in the courtyard. When he saw someone coming, he quickly closed it and hid it in his sleeve.
"Miss Yu, why did you get out of bed so quickly? Is your injury better?" Jiang Mu pretended not to notice and stepped forward with a concerned look.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang. I'm feeling much better now."
Although Yu Xuanji still looked cold, his eyes were filled with gratitude and he said, "I would also like to thank Young Master Jiang. If Young Master Jiang needs help in the future, I will definitely not refuse..."
Jiang Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I take this seriously, I do have something to ask Miss Yu!"
I didn't know what to say, but I didn't expect that she would be so sensible and send it to my door...
Yu Xuanji's expression was startled: "What's the matter? Mr. Jiang just said it."
"Well, it's like this..." Jiang Mu organized his words and told him about his cultivation.
Of course, he concealed that this method was passed down by immortals, and only said that it was a self-cultivation method passed down from his family.
Chang Fu suddenly realized when he heard this, no wonder his prince suddenly became so powerful. He could not only carry a person on his back and escape without anyone noticing under the eyes of the Imperial City Secretary, but also outrun the guards in the palace.
"Master Jiang, do you want me to find that pure spiritual power for you?" Yu Xuanji directly agreed: No problem, I have taken this matter to heart, if..."
"That's not what I meant. Miss Yu misunderstood."
Jiang Mu hurriedly interrupted her. Seeing Yu Xuanji's confused look, he explained: "To be honest, I already know that Miss Yu is the immortal master of the Demon Suppression Division. There are many strange and weird things in the world, and they are all handled by the Demon Suppression Division." , I want Miss Yu to solve supernatural incidents in the future, can you take me with you, and I can find the pure spiritual power by myself, can Miss Yu agree?"
It's good to have someone looking for pure spiritual power for him, but what Jiang Mu wants is a steady stream. Who knows if Yu Xuanji will only find it for him once or twice.
After hearing that Jiang Mu knew his identity, Yu Xuanji was not surprised, because anyone who knew something about the Demon Suppression Division would have heard of the name of Master Xuanji. So she just hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, but everything I do has certain dangers. If Mr. Jiang is not afraid, you can follow..."
Jiang Mu was about to say "no problem", but when Changfu heard that there was danger, he immediately stepped forward to hold him up and persuaded: "Prince... Young Master, how can you put your body in danger if something happens to you, with your body of a rich man?" What went wrong, how can I explain it to the master and his wife..."
Jiang Mu threw away his hand with a look of disgust on his face: "Thankfully you are still a cultivator. Don't you know the principle of advancing despite difficulties? This is a troubled time. If I retreat at the first sign of danger, how can I achieve great things!"
Changfu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Jiang Mu's glare.
Jiang Mu looked at Yu Xuanji and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Yu. Although I have just entered the cultivation path, I also know the rules of the Demon Suppression Department and will never talk about this matter to outsiders."
Yu Xuanji looked at Jiang Mu's eyes with admiration and said, "This is the best thing. A supernatural thing happens to happen today. I want to go there. Mr. Jiang is willing to go with me..." With that, he He took out the letter he had hidden in his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu took it and saw written on the paper: Livestock are often lost in Kanglong Village. The government office's investigation has failed, and there is a fear of monsters causing chaos.
Jiang Mu returned the letter to Yu Xuanji and said, "Yes, but Miss Yu can't use her true energy. Is that really okay?"
"It doesn't matter, two immortal masters have already gone to investigate. We are just going to have a look. If we are lucky, we can get a piece of pure spiritual power."
Yu Xuanji said, looking at the sky: "It's still early here, I still need to make some preparations. Mr. Jiang can go about his own business first. When Haishi comes, we will set off again..."
He left Yu Xuanji's residence and returned to the palace.
Jiang Mu was about to read some books about monsters and supernatural beings, when Zhu Lian hurriedly opened the study door.
It turned out that it was Chang Fu's fellow who told Zhu Lian about his planned adventure. Jiang Mu didn't want to hide it from Zhu Lian, but he still glared at Chang Fu and asked him to close the door and leave.
"Mr. Lang, you have a sensitive identity and are putting yourself in danger. Aren't you afraid of being recognized by others?"
Seeing the deep concern in Zhu Lian's resentful tone, Jiang Mu took her jade hand, led her to sit on a chair, and pinched her shoulders.
Zhu Lian seemed to love the yellow skirt, and she was also covered with a layer of transparent gauze, which felt extremely smooth, and her hands became restless when she pinched it.
"Dalang, I...can't help you..."
Zhu Lian wanted to struggle to stand up, because in her mind, there was no reason for a husband to serve his wife.
But Jiang Mu obviously didn't let her succeed, and said: "For the sake of the house, my wife can personally take the maids and maids in the house to work as nuns to supplement the family income. She works hard for her husband to feel sorry for her, and to squeeze her shoulders for her, so why not?"
Since the death of Zhao Huan's biological mother Wang, the status of Prince Ding's palace has plummeted. Even the monthly salary is not paid on time, causing the palace's treasury to be in short supply for a long time. In addition to the salary of the guards being paid on time, the servants and maids have been paying for almost a year. There was no salary anymore. After Zhu Lian married into Prince Ding's palace, he first used the dowry he brought to distribute the salary to everyone, and then selected a few clever maids to work together as female celebrities to replenish the treasury.
This reminded Jiang Mu of another world, where Queen Huairen sewed winter clothes for the soldiers defending the city on the front line.
Jiang Mu then added: "My wife can endure hardships for me, and I can also take risks for my future. Besides, it's not a risk. After all, there are immortal masters from the Demon Suppression Department following me. As for being recognized by others, I don't have to worry about it." Well, except for my father, my mother, my concubine, and a few of my younger brothers, only the important officials in the court have seen me a few times, not to mention that I am still wearing a hijab, who can recognize me?"
After hearing this, Zhu Lian let go of his worries slightly. At the same time, he was moved by the words "I can also take risks for my wife's future." He only felt extremely happy in his heart and said: "Since the husband has thought everything about it, I, concubine." I won’t say much, but it’s better to be careful.”
"Yes, I will..."
The sky quickly became dark, and at about midnight, Jiang Mu left the palace. Originally, he did not intend to take Changfu with him to prevent him from talking too much, but Zhu Lian was worried and insisted on following Changfu. Jiang Mu had no choice but to go with him. Can compromise...
Jiang Mu's current strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary martial arts masters. In Changfu's words, he has just entered the path of cultivation, which is the acquired realm, and there are Ming realm, Xiantian, and Grand Master.
Changfu is at the peak of the innate world, only one step away from becoming a master. Yu Xuanji can kill Changfu in one move even when she is injured. She is obviously a great master. However, since she cannot use her true energy, she can only perform at the Ming Realm stage. strength, so it seems that it is necessary to bring Changfu.
Yu Xuanji was standing at the entrance of the alley waiting. She was wearing the clothes Jiang Mu bought, a snow-white lotus flower bra top with wide sleeves, and paired with that cold face, she looked a bit like the Little Dragon Girl in Jin Yong's novel.
"Young master Jiang doesn't need to take action later. If there are monsters, the immortal masters of the Free Demon Suppression Department will deal with them. As for the pure spiritual power, I will get it." She felt that Jiang Mu would be scared when he came into contact with these supernatural things for the first time, so she couldn't help comforting her. road.
Jiang Mu was indeed a little nervous at this time. It was one thing to accept that there were ghosts in this world, but it was another thing to actually see them. However, this nervousness was quickly replaced by curiosity. What did the monsters look like? Will it be like what is shown in movies and TV shows, with ferocious gods, green faces and fangs, handsome men and beautiful women, charming people...
Since the assassin had not been caught yet, no one was allowed to leave the city at will. It was Yu Xuanji who took out the Demon Suppression Division's token before the general guarding the gate was willing to let him go.
Kanglong Village is located on the outskirts of Tokyo, at the foot of a mountain three kilometers away. It is surrounded by mountains on two sides, with a mountain stream on the left. There is a temple of Erlang Zhenjun at the main entrance. It stands to reason that the Zhenjun is here, and no monsters dare to be there. This time, the reality is as seen...
"It is said that this wealthy Liu family used to be a well-known wealthy family in Tokyo. His family owned many restaurants, cloth, tea shops and other industries. Unfortunately, he gave birth to unscrupulous descendants and was fond of gambling. In just a few years, he not only lost all his family property , and borrowed a lot of usury, Liu Fuhu became bedridden in anger, and was later cured by the miracle doctor Li. After that, Liu Fuhu sold the remaining property, and the family moved out of Tokyo and came to In Kanglong Village, the district government saw that he was pitiful and offered the position of village chief..."
When the three of them arrived, it was the time when the moon and stars were thin, and Changfu talked about what he had learned through his investigation.
"It is said that true gold is not afraid of fire. The rich man Liu did not lose his mind. The second year after moving here, he gathered in the countryside, raised many horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, and started a business of buying and selling livestock. It is said that the family also raised There are three war horses bought at a high price from the Xixia Kingdom..."
Although the Liu family was ruined by unscrupulous descendants, Liu Fugui was indeed a wise man and was able to unite the villagers to make a fortune together. In just a few years, the originally dilapidated small village was transformed into a new one, and the Liu family was rebuilt. The size of the compound is not much smaller than when we were in Tokyo.
After arriving, they saw that the livestock areas were on both sides of the backyard. On one side were pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. that could be slaughtered for food, and on the other side were cows, horses, etc. that were forbidden to eat. Changfu was afraid that something would happen to Jiang Mu. , advised again:
"Sir, those monsters are evil and can't be controlled except by Buddhism and Taoism. I have martial arts, but I'm not good at it, and the Fish Immortal Master is limited in strength. What if the monsters are cruel and hurt the young master? So old slave I think the young master should stay here while Master Yuxian and I go to find the pure spiritual power. What do you think..."
