…
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight breaks through the green mountains, driving away the darkness, and shines on the top floor of an attic. An ancient copper bell hangs in the air, and a young Taoist priest is in a daze next to it.
It was twelve-year-old Jiang Changsheng. Before ringing the bell every morning, he would review his experiences in the first half of his life to cheer himself up.
A night of practicing martial arts made him sleepy. Fortunately, his duty was very simple, which was to ring the bell on time every day to remind everyone in the Taoist temple to get up and recite Taoist scriptures. Since he took over this task at the age of six, he has never encountered any hardships again, and his life has changed. He has a lot of leisure, but with the skills, martial arts, and medical skills he has acquired, his life will not be boring.
Jiang Changsheng's survival system comes from his previous life. In his previous life, he was a game developer. He developed a game. The gimmick was 'If you can live forever, how long can you live in the world of immortality'.
The player's lifespan is unlimited, but they will be killed, and they will encounter various hardships and temptations on the road to practice. Jiang Changsheng has tried it himself, and he has lived up to more than 10,000 years, which is very challenging.
This game is not a simple choice game, it requires actual operation and exploration. Even if you have been hiding in one place, you may encounter natural disasters. In short, in one sentence, life's blessings and disasters are unpredictable.
The game became popular in a short time after it was released. Jiang Changsheng, who had stayed up late for a long time, died suddenly in front of the computer because he was too excited to see the background data, and was reincarnated in this life.
In this life, he can't guarantee whether he will truly live forever. It will take decades to find out. Before that, he has to rely on survival rewards to become strong enough to face the catastrophes of life.
The Taoist natural skills are stuck on the second level, but the Divine Shadow Kick and the Nine-Hunting Heavenly Dragon Step have been completely mastered. The Spring and Autumn Book is vast and profound. He has only memorized the content but has not used it yet. As for the magic weapon, he has not yet developed spiritual power. , unable to be used, this treasure is kept deep in his mind. When he reaches the fourth level of Taoist natural skills and develops spiritual power, he can master it. Now he only has true energy in his body, and true energy can make martial arts more powerful. able.
As the sun shone on his body, Jiang Changsheng yawned, held the wooden stake hanging next to him with both hands, and began to ring the bell.
Boom——
The sound of the bell echoes in the mountains, long and long, as if it is urging the flow of time. Together with the green mountains and green waters between heaven and earth, it highlights the quiet and pleasant atmosphere of time.
Knock once, pause for five breaths, and knock ten times in a row before Jiang Changsheng let go.
"Today's fishing life has begun again."
Jiang Changsheng hummed a little tune and started to go downstairs. He was wearing a gray-blue monk's robe, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind under the sunlight, giving him a unique charm.
As soon as he came downstairs, a Taoist priest of fifteen or sixteen years old ran over and stopped in front of him, gasping for air and sweating profusely. He said urgently: "Junior Brother Changsheng, something bad happened... A guest died in the temple last night. Master tells you to go to Mingxin Hall..."
dead?
Jiang Changsheng frowned. He knew that a court official had come to visit recently, but he did not expect that someone would die. Judging from the posture of this senior brother, the status of the deceased was not low.
He is used to practicing martial arts quietly every night, and Long Qiguan is not small. He really didn't notice anything unusual last night.
He didn't think too much and followed his senior brother to the Mingxin Palace.
"Junior Brother Changsheng, you don't know that the top scholar is so powerful that he can calculate the time of death, cause of death, and the activities of the deceased just from the corpse..."
"The deceased was an official from the Ministry of Personnel. It is said that he had quite a lot of power. Someone actually dared to assassinate an official in the capital. Wow, that's outrageous..."
Jiang Changsheng almost rolled his eyes after listening to his senior brother's words.
Is this outrageous?
I am the first prince of the Jing Dynasty, and he was actually transferred to someone else. The most important thing is that he was not discovered. The counterfeit is still sitting on the throne of the prince, and his reputation is spread all over the world.
Is my experience outrageous?
Jiang Changsheng sighed in his heart.
This is a different world similar to ancient China. Jiang Changsheng could hear the sounds outside while he was still in his mother's womb. This world still spoke Chinese. He was very excited to learn that he was born into the royal family. Moreover, it was in the early days of the founding of the country, when his father and the emperor followed him. His mother said that when she made him the crown prince, he felt that his life was about to reach its peak.
His mother and father were married, and they accompanied his father to rise from the wilderness, go through hardships, conquer the world, and establish a new dynasty. Under this background, as long as he ascends the throne, he should be able to have a happy life.
It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and the traitors are disgusting!
The past is gone, Jiang Changsheng no longer thinks about it anymore. He named Changsheng, which is enough to show his current ambition.
After half a stick of incense, Jiang Changsheng followed his senior brother to the front of Mingxin Hall. Mingxin Hall was not too big. Temple disciples gathered in the courtyard. Hundreds of people surrounded the place. There were servants from the guests waiting at the door. , there are twenty or thirty people.
Seeing Jiang Changsheng coming, the disciples all looked at him. Although he was very low-key in Longqi Temple, his presence was not low due to his handsome appearance.
"Junior brother, go in, master is looking for you."
A female disciple said, Longqi Temple is not a traditional Taoist sect, but more like a Jianghu sect, with both men and women.
Jiang Changsheng nodded and walked into the hall.
At a glance, he saw the corpse lying on the ground covered with white cloth. On the right side stood the Taoist priest Qingxu and three major disciples. On the left side were the six guests of Long Qiguan. Standing at the front was a scholar. The man dressed up was also the number one scholar Jiang Changsheng heard about on the way, Chen Li.
As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Li was sizing him up.
Jiang Changsheng came to Taoist Master Qingxu, bowed and saluted, and said: "Master."
Taoist Master Qingxu was the one who saved him when he was a child. He has always respected him. Despite Taoist Master Qingxu's serious appearance, there are not many rules in the temple. Everyone in the temple is his disciple, and there is no seniority among the disciples. Poor, we get along very harmoniously.
Taoist Master Qingxu held a fly whisk in his hand. He had gray hair and an immortal spirit. He nodded slightly and said, "Changsheng, tell Almsgiver Chen where you were last night?"
Jiang Changsheng turned to look at Chen Li and said, "I went to practice last night. My fellow juniors and master knew that I had this habit."
How could he hide for six years and practice martial arts since he was six years old? At the end of that year, he was bumped into by Taoist Master Qingxu. He only said that he had realized it. Anyway, his moves were inconsistent when he first started practicing, and neither did Taoist Master Qingxu. After thinking a lot, he even gave some pointers. In the following years, the senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior sister gradually discovered this matter. However, they did not disclose the matter to other disciples and allowed him to practice martial arts late at night.
In the eyes of ordinary disciples, Jiang Changsheng is just a low-key fellow disciple.
In the eyes of the three major disciples, he is a martial arts wizard who can create his own martial arts at a young age.
Senior brother Li Chang created a boxing technique when he was a teenager, and now he teaches it to young disciples.
Chen Li asked: "May I ask where the little Taoist master practices?"
Jiang Changsheng replied: "In front of the Taoist bell tower, I am used to going upstairs to ring the bell after practicing, and then touch it again during the day...to listen to the Taoist teachings."
He was very natural and not nervous at all. He didn't kill the person anyway, and he didn't know the deceased at all.
A middle-aged man next to Chen Li said: "I see that my little brother has thin skin and tender flesh, and his hands are smooth and callous-free. He doesn't look like a martial artist. I don't know what kind of martial arts he practices?"
The tone was aggressive, which was a bit harsh in Jiang Changsheng's ears.
Chen Li smiled and said: "Don't mind, little Taoist priest. We have been investigating for an hour. Everyone around me has proven their innocence. They are all ordinary people and do not understand martial arts. They can only look for it from your temple. Of course, we are not doubting your innocence." Guan, there may be thieves disguised as Gui Guan's disciples."
Disguise?
Jiang Changsheng has never left the capital since he was a child, and he has never left the Taoist temple after entering the temple, so he doesn't know the extent of the outside world's disguise skills.
He replied: "What I practice is internal strength."
Disciples who reach the age of six can name themselves and learn Longqiguan's inner skills. Jiang Changsheng pretends to learn, but in fact he practices immortality skills, Taoism and natural skills.
If you can cultivate immortality, why cultivate martial arts?
The reason why I say internal strength is because his martial arts are all based on leg and foot techniques. What if the deceased died due to this type of martial arts, then what if he was hit by accident?
Chen Li asked with burning eyes: "It is said that Long Qiguan's True Heart Sutra is unique in the martial arts world. When His Majesty the Emperor's Dragon Power was still weak, Taoist Master Qingxu used the True Heart Sutra to save His Majesty the Emperor in times of danger. Once the True Heart Sutra was activated, If you move, your eyes will become extremely bright, like pearls in the dark night. The little Taoist master has been practicing Qigong for several years, and he should have started. I wonder if I can show it?"
The second senior brother Meng Qiuhe smiled and said: "My junior brother is extremely talented, and his internal strength has naturally started. He may have achieved some success and achieved immortality. Let's show it to them."
Jiang Changsheng was embarrassed.
He didn't practice the True Heart Sutra at all, and Taoist Master Qingxu didn't know how to check the practice status of his disciples.
Does the True Heart Sutra have special effects?
I do not know how?
Jiang Changsheng started brainstorming.
After hearing what Meng Qiuhe said, the disciples outside the hall started talking a lot. To be praised by the second senior brother, could it be that Jiang Changsheng is really a martial arts prodigy?
In front of everyone, Jiang Changsheng could only confess: "Sorry, I am not practicing the True Heart Sutra. I like to create my own martial arts. At present, my internal strength is still being explored. As for martial arts..."
Chen Li interrupted: "You happen to be practicing footwork, right?"
Jiang Changsheng was stunned and looked at Chen Li in surprise.
Chen Li bent down and opened the cloth, and saw that the deceased was a man, young and strong, with a jade ring on his finger, indicating that it was not a robbery, but a vendetta.
Chen Li pulled his chest open, and his sternum collapsed. The injury was quite long, as if someone had stepped on him heavily.
Is it such a coincidence?
Jiang Changsheng finally realized that he was in trouble. After six years of peace, bad luck still came.
The deceased involved an official. Once he is caught, Taoist Master Qingxu cannot protect him, and the trouble will be big.
When Taoist Priest Qingxu rescued him, those traitors had seen Taoist Priest Qingxu's appearance, which meant that those people knew where he was.
Jiang Changsheng also heard about their identities when he was kidnapped by traitors. They included civil and military ministers, and even the founding fathers of the dynasty. This was a deep and shocking conspiracy. They must be waiting for Jiang Changsheng to leave the Taoist temple. .
Taoist priest Qingxu was rewarded by the emperor for rescuing the emperor Jiang Yuan before. Therefore, Longqiguan was the only martial arts sect in the capital. The yamen were not allowed to investigate without permission, and the army was not allowed to enter without permission.
"Little Taoist Priest, why didn't you say anything? Could it be that you are the murderer?" Chen Li stared at Jiang Changsheng with burning eyes.
