The Demon Gate enters Beijing?
Jiang Changsheng was not worried, but asked: "Where does the strength of Ghost Eye Evil King rank within the Demon Sect?"
Chen Li replied: "In addition to the sect master, the Demon Sect has two deputy sect masters, and then there are the seven evil kings and the eighteen messengers. The ghost-eyed evil king is at least the top five existences. He attacked the dragon before. At first glance, he was imprisoned in Tianlao, seriously injured, and his strength was actually not half of what he was at his peak. The methods of Tianlao were unbearable even for martial arts masters."
Is this the top five?
Jiang Changsheng began to look forward to the attack of the Demon Sect. Of course, he would not take it lightly when facing the masters of the Demon Sect.
You must go all out and not develop a slack mentality. When dealing with any enemy, you must kill them as quickly as possible.
Jiang Changsheng warned himself in his mind, his eyes becoming firm.
Seeing the change in his eyes, Chen Li thought he was scared and said, "If you are worried, you can stay in my Chen family temporarily. No matter how strong the Demon Sect is, they will not dare to attack the Shangshu's mansion."
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness. For the sake of Long Qiguan, I have to stay. Don't worry."
Chen Li stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right. You were able to kill the Ghost Eyed Evil King four years ago. How strong are you now? Tsk, tsk, I can't imagine it."
Jiang Changsheng responded modestly, and Chen Li started to talk about other topics.
Let’s talk about the martial arts first. At the beginning of this year, a young genius appeared in the martial arts world. At the age of 16, he practiced magical skills and reached the top of the world. Now he has become the leader of a sect. This sect has been renamed Guiyuan Shen Sect!
The Great Jing Dynasty emphasized martial arts, and such a young talent naturally won the favor of the powerful people in the court. It is said that more than ten clans have sent people to win over the leader of the Guiyuan Shen Sect.
Chen Li said contemptuously: "In my opinion, the real young genius is you, Changsheng. Any genius will pale in front of you."
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and laughed: "I don't want to be a genius, I just want to experience the tranquility of the years on the mountain."
"The years of peace and quiet are good... What a time of peace and quiet!"
Chen Li admired and said that since Jiang Changsheng had a whisk in his hand, he felt that this boy was becoming more and more out of the world, even more immortal than Taoist Master Qingxu. If there is a young immortal in the world, this should be the case.
As they chatted, Chen Li began to discuss government affairs again and complained about the emperor crazily.
Jiang Changsheng even suspected that he was going to rebel.
Although Jiang Yuan treated Jiang Changsheng badly, the world belonged to the Jiang family, and Jiang Changsheng would naturally not help others overthrow his family's power.
After chatting for half an hour, Chen Li said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Jiang Changsheng took out a few pieces of paper with various medicinal materials written on them, hoping that Chen Li could help find them. Chen Li accepted them directly and said that he would try his best.
Jiang Changsheng was preparing to refine the antidote for the Zhuyan Pill and the Demon Gate Poison. The second prince Jiang Ming had sent a lot of medicinal materials before, but it was far from enough.
Alchemy and the Spring and Autumn Medical Code are a perfect match. There are many prescriptions in the Spring and Autumn Medical Code, but not many involve cultivating immortals. There are only a few, including Zhuyan Dan.
Jiang Changsheng did not want to spend his eternal life in old age.
As night fell, Jiang Changsheng continued to practice.
The white dragon climbed to the window sill and looked at the moon quietly. Under the moonlight, its snake body exuded a faint fluorescent light.
The next day, two Taoist boys whose memories had been tampered with by the Huan Shen Tong came. Jiang Changsheng felt guilty for them, so he taught them the Qi Finger.
Although Qi Finger is a martial art of the Chen family, Chen Li did not prohibit it from spreading to outsiders.
In this way, these two little Taoist boys often came to visit Jiang Changsheng, and Jiang Changsheng also gave them names, the male was named Wanli, and the female was named Mingyue.
Another autumn has arrived.
Because the emperor left, the capital became more lively than before, with more merchants and escort teams coming and going than before, and of course, there were more cases.
Chen Li, who recently went to work as a yamen official in the capital, felt very tired. He was not yet thirty, but he still had the vicissitudes of his forties, which was mainly reflected in his hair, which was more than half gray, and there was a look of worry between his brows.
Jiang Changsheng was very worried that he would die suddenly, but there was nothing he could do to persuade him.
"The Yang family and the Hong family are fighting openly and secretly, each wooing civil and military officials, and even wooing masters of the martial arts. It seems that a dispute is about to break out in the capital. Perhaps the Demon Sect is caused by them. They use the excuse of the Demon Sect's revenge to take the opportunity to kill themselves. opponent."
Chen Li sighed, worried.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Then the Chen family must be careful."
Chen Li shook his head and said: "The Chen family has not taken sides. In addition, the head of the family is the Minister of Household Affairs. Whoever dares to touch the six ministers will only be the minions of each faction."
Jiang Changsheng thought it was reasonable, so he didn't remind him again.
This time Chen Li came, mainly to help him deliver medicinal materials. There were nearly ten portions of hundreds of medicinal materials, which were carried up the mountain in two large boxes. Chen Li had prepared 90% of the prescriptions he gave, which shows his level of care. .
Chen Li talked about the undercurrent in the capital and left quickly.
Jiang Changsheng began to count the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials for Zhuyan Dan were complete. As for the antidote for Taoist Master Qingxu, his injuries had to be carefully checked.
Afterwards, Jiang Changsheng left the room and went to visit Taoist Master Qingxu.
Taoist Master Qingxu seldom appeared in public on weekdays, and all matters large and small had been completely handed over to Meng Qiu Shuang. He had been staying in his quiet courtyard, sitting quietly under the tree, whether he was practicing martial arts or comprehending life.
Jiang Changsheng came to him, bent down and saluted, and said: "Master, my disciple has recently gained some understanding of medical skills and alchemy skills. Would you like to let my disciple check your injuries?"
Taoist Master Qingxu did not open his eyes, but raised his hand and pulled open his cuffs, revealing a horrifying arm. The entire forearm had turned completely black, and the worm-like blood vessels began to turn purple.
Jiang Changsheng stepped forward and inspected it carefully.
Taoist Priest Qingxu said, "Changsheng, is there any purpose behind Chen Li's recent conversation with you?"
Jiang Changsheng replied: "No, every time he comes, apart from giving gifts, he just talks about some miscellaneous things. He doesn't teach his disciples to do things, nor does he ask his disciples to do things for him."
Taoist priest Qingxu hummed and continued: "The Chen family has a complicated origin. It is not recognized by various factions in the court. This is why I allowed him to have contact with you. But the Chen family is a double-edged sword. If you don't hold the sword well, they may lead you to the abyss."
"My disciple knows that they were officials in the previous dynasty, so he knows it well."
"It's good to know. Growing up, my teacher didn't teach you anything in particular. But looking at you now, my teacher is very pleased. The two princes have failed to win over you. It seems that you already have your own ideas, rather than simply Discover the truth.”
Taoist priest Qingxu smiled, looking so kind.
Jiang Changsheng stared at him and couldn't help but ask: "Master, can you tell me an old story about you and His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Taoist Master Qingxu was silent.
Although the conversation between the master and the apprentice was not completely clear, they already understood each other tacitly.
"Alas, I was a teacher before I became a Taoist priest, and the emperor was not an emperor. We were fellow villagers. The city was invaded and our families were massacred. Only he and I escaped. The world only knew that I had made a contribution to the rescue, but little did they know that during my martial arts practice He has always protected me before..."
Taoist priest Qingxu opened his eyes, looked at the leaves above his head, and fell into infinite nostalgia.
Jiang Changsheng listened carefully, wanting to know what kind of person Jiang Yuan was.
In the story of Taoist Master Qingxu, Jiang Yuan is brave and loyal. He dares to give it a go when faced with a desperate situation. He is also a very charming person. No matter where he goes, he can always gain a group of loyal followers. After gaining the support of the Yang family, Jiang Yuan completely gained momentum.
But when Jiang Yuan established his country and proclaimed himself emperor, he changed.
"That day, he stood on the Tongtian Tower in the palace, looking down at the civil servants, generals and the vast army, as if he was looking down at all living beings, showing his domineering emperor. I noticed the change in his eyes in the sea of people. He changed , his eyes changed from pride and joy to worry and fear. At that time, I knew that Jiang Yuan was not there, replaced by Emperor Kaiyuan, who wanted to be as high as the sky."
"Since ancient times, emperors have always been lonely, and this is also true of His Majesty today. His vision is not the current society, and his expectations for the prince are definitely not the ordinary father-son relationship. What he wants is the world, and what he strives for is the world. Thousands of years."
When Taoist Master Qingxu said this, there was a strong sense of admiration in his tone.
Jiang Changsheng heard the implication of his words.
The old Taoist priest is speaking for Jiang Yuan!
Speaking of which, eighteen years after his birth, Jiang Changsheng had met Jiang Yuan once, but had not really come into contact with him.
Taoist Master Qingxu shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world wants to be an emperor, but they don't know how difficult it is to be an emperor. Disciple, if you were to be an emperor, what kind of emperor would you be?"
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Disciple, I don't know how to be an emperor, nor do I want to be an emperor."
Taoist priest Qingxu gave him a meaningful look.
After finishing the story, Jiang Changsheng also finished his inspection, so he stood up and left.
Taoist Priest Qingxu watched him leave, as if he wanted to see into his heart.
Jiang Changsheng turned his back to Taoist Master Qingxu and raised the corners of his mouth.
emperor?
It’s truly fascinating!
I am the prince, why can't I compete for the throne?
The crazy idea in Jiang Changsheng's heart began to sprout.
Jiang Yuan has all kinds of reasons and all kinds of positions, but none of them can fool him in his life!
"Since you can hide the truth from the truth, then I will come too. Let's see who has better methods."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
At the third level of Taoist Natural Skills, he can easily kill the top masters. At the fourth level, he can still be tied with the Tongtian masters. Because he has never seen a real Tongtian master, Jiang Changsheng must overestimate his opponent.
When I reach the fifth floor, I will go and meet Tongtian in the palace!
…
During the social period of summer and autumn, the capital city suddenly became desolate. The reason was that the plague struck. All those who got the disease had weak limbs and became irritable. If they quarreled with others, they would easily get angry, have their internal organs ruptured, and die painfully.
The disease broke out very quickly. During this period, Jiang Changsheng was busy refining Zhuyan Dan and Taoist Qingxu's antidote. He was not discharged from the hospital. He didn't know the plague was coming until Qing Ku told him.
Longqi Temple has closed its doors and no longer accepts guests.
Jiang Changsheng didn't think too much, just get through it. He even began to look forward to the rewards of survival after the plague.
On this day, he finally developed three beauty-preserving pills. He took one, and from then on he remained youthful and remained eighteen years old for a long time.
He didn't know how long the effect of the Zhuyan Pill would be. Anyway, if it started to change, just take the Zhuyan Pill again.
Taoist Master Qingxu's antidote is a bit troublesome. According to the prescription in the Spring and Autumn Medical Code, there is currently a shortage of medicinal materials, but he is not in a hurry. He still has three years.
