In Chen Li's opinion, only Hua Jianxin has fought against the Demon Lord, and he knows best how strong the Demon Lord is. He trusts Hua Jianxin very much. Hua Jianxin said that the Demon Lord was repelled by an old beggar, so he reported the truth. .
Chen Li said with emotion: "The white-clothed guards have been investigating for several months. It is rare to find an old beggar who can defeat the demon lord. He is either the leader of the beggar gang or a crazy Taoist who has gone crazy. Both of them are like dragons. ,hard to find."
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Is this the end of the matter?"
So many people died and such a fuss was made, and it was ridiculous to end it like this.
Chen Li shook his head and said: "It's just that the matter is over. When His Majesty comes back, I will definitely plead guilty. I have resigned from my official duties and was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs as an errand by the head of the family. Although I was demoted, I can still count on saving my life."
Jiang Changsheng nodded and did not continue to ask.
Chen Li looked at Hua Jianxin and said: "You have two ways now. One, I can send you out of the capital now. Two, when His Majesty comes back to question the crime, if Eunuch Li and the leader of the white-clothed guards are punished, you can go back safely. .”
Hua Jianxin shook his head and said: "Both of your paths are to make me obey destiny. Thank you for your kindness."
Chen Li was silent, with a guilty look on his face.
It was his invitation that put Hua Jianxin in such a predicament, but he was unable to solve Hua Jianxin's predicament.
"Then what are your plans..." Chen Li asked.
Hua Jianxin said: "I will follow Taoist Changsheng from now on. You don't have to worry about me anymore. As for the guard in white, I don't care about him anymore."
She is currently studying the Jade Pure Meridian Needle every day, just wanting to become stronger.
That night, the demons chased her, but no one could help her. She didn't want to experience that powerlessness and despair again.
Chen Li looked at Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Let her stay. As long as she doesn't go down the mountain, nothing will happen."
Chen Li thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Because Hua Jianxin was by his side, he didn't express his depression to Jiang Changsheng like he used to. He left after sitting there for a short time.
After Chen Li left, Jiang Changsheng asked, "Which faction do you think Chen Li belongs to?"
Hua Jianxin pondered for a moment and said: "He cares about the people. He is very stubborn and only accepts death. He disdains factional disputes and does not belong to any faction."
"How did you meet?"
"Back then, when he got the top prize, His Majesty had high hopes for him and sent me to guard him secretly for several years. Due to some coincidence, we became acquainted."
Hua Jianxin replied, she was curious about what Jiang Changsheng wanted to do, but she didn't dare to ask.
For such a master to live in the capital, it must not be as simple as cultivating Taoism.
Jiang Changsheng stopped asking and waved for her to leave, and then he practiced in the house.
The next goal is the fifth level of Taoist natural skills.
After reaching the fifth floor, he will meet Tongtian in the palace and then implement the bold plan in his heart.
When fighting against the emperor, one must not fight recklessly, but must practice cultivation first.
At worst, he'll be beaten to death.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently and warned himself not to be arrogant at any time and to be absolutely sure before taking action.
…
In the splendid hall, Jiang Yuan sat on a dragon chair with a golden sword. Wearing an imperial crown, he showed his imperial domineering. All the civil and military officials in the hall lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. Even the prince The same is true for them.
Eunuch Li stood diagonally below Jiang Yuan, bowing as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Yuan sneered: "What? Everyone is mute, and more than two hundred people died in the city. On the other hand, the Forbidden Army and the white-clothed guards only lost one white-clothed guard? Can you be any more ridiculous?"
Yang Che, the Minister of Punishment, knelt down and burst into tears, crying: "Your Majesty, seventy-three members of my Yang family have died, including Lian Chen's younger brother... please make the decision!"
Another civil servant also came out and knelt down, shouting: "My Hong family has lost one hundred and two people. There must be someone behind the magic door pushing it. During that time, the white-clothed guards disappeared en masse, and all the imperial guards pretended to be dead. How can I beg them?" It’s useless, there must be an important minister behind this, your Majesty will investigate it strictly!”
Immediately afterwards, other courtiers knelt down.
The second prince Jiang Ming frowned, and the prince Jiang Qian did the same.
Jiang Ming's backers were the Hong family, and Jiang Qian's backers were the Yang family. They left Beijing with the emperor, and their respective backers were attacked. They felt that the factions of other princes were at work.
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, sounding like a dragon's roar, which made everyone's hearts feel like a hammer, and the hustle and bustle in the hall suddenly stopped.
He stood up slowly, his true energy stirring the dragon robe, and his breath was visible to the naked eye, as if a translucent dragon was wrapping around his body.
Everyone became nervous, and the generals were secretly frightened. Meng Qiuhe, who had left Longqi Temple, was also in the palace, and he felt shocked in his heart.
"The emperor actually has such power..."
Meng Qiuhe was shocked to think that as a martial arts champion, he relied on his strong martial arts and looked down on the prince and the emperor in his heart. But when he saw him today, he realized that the emperor who conquered the world was no ordinary man.
Jiang Yuan glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice: "So many people died in the imperial city, I want the same number of heads to atone for their sins."
Everyone was frightened when they heard this. If Jiang Yuan really dared to kill anyone, no matter how high an official he was, he might be beheaded!
"Preaching the Heavenly Martial Arts of the Sect."
Jiang Yuan spoke again. Eunuch Li immediately raised his head and repeated his words loudly. The eunuch outside the palace listened and repeated them, one after another.
Zong Tianwu, the supreme king of the martial arts today, dominates all the heroes in the world and reaches the top of the martial arts world with his absolute martial arts.
The civil and military officials looked at each other, and they all turned to look outside the palace. Outside the Jinluan Palace was a staircase with hundreds of steps, going down to the imperial gate of the inner city, and then to the huge martial arts square.
I saw a figure coming towards me like a ghost. He seemed to be teleporting continuously, taking several feet with each step. He entered the palace in less than five breaths. After entering the palace, his steps slowed down. He was no longer so weird, but just like a mortal. Walk forward like a stroll.
He came to the temple and bowed to salute.
He didn't kneel.
Zong Tianwu was dressed in a white robe, with white hair, white eyebrows and white beard. His body was strong and strong, with arrogance between his brows, and he squinted his eyes at the civil and military officials on both sides.
Jiang Gan frowned, not liking his gaze.
Jiang Mingze stared at Zong Tianwu fiercely.
"From today on, the Tianwu Prison will be established. Officials of fifth rank and above can nominate two disciples to join the Tianwu Prison to practice martial arts. In addition to teaching martial arts, the Tianwu Prison will also investigate the case of the Demon Sect."
"Tianwu Supervisor, only listen to my orders!"
Jiang Yuan said one sentence after another, great power fell on Zong Tianwu, causing the civil and military officials to look at him with jealousy and worry.
Zong Tianwu bowed his hands and said, "I accept your order."
…
In the 19th year of Kaiyuan, just after the New Year, a bloody storm broke out in the capital. Two hundred officials, big and small, were beheaded in the street to eliminate public resentment.
Chen Li visited Jiang Changsheng. When he talked about this matter, he was so excited that he called His Majesty the mighty dragon. The only pity is that Eunuch Li did not die.
He also told the story about the Tianwu Supervisor. Now the Tianwu Supervisor has become the most feared existence in the capital, because they are the swords of the emperor, as powerful as the generals in the imperial court. After being convicted by the emperor, they tried to escape, but were also captured by Zong Tianwu. It is said that Not a move can be blocked.
Jiang Changsheng became very curious about Zong Tianwu and did not know how strong this martial arts supreme was.
In addition to talking, Chen Li also brought a batch of medicinal materials, including the last medicinal material to cure Taoist Master Qingxu's poison.
It is strange to say that what Taoist Master Qingxu was poisoned by was the poison of the Demon Sect, and even the Demon Lord could not detoxify it. They developed this poison, and no one could detox it even if they pursued it.
After Chen Li left, Jiang Changsheng began to make elixirs. He made elixirs in the courtyard, using only an ordinary small cauldron.
The Demon Lord walked out of the room and came to Jiang Changsheng's side, watching him refine the elixir with Hua Jianxin.
The art of alchemy has always been a legend in the martial arts world. Most people make alchemy just like a doctor burning medicine, and there is nothing mysterious about it.
Jiang Changsheng used his spiritual power to control the fire. In the medicine cauldron, all the medicinal materials were refined and condensed into an elixir independently. Moreover, it was suspended in the air in the cauldron without touching the bottom.
This scene made the Demon Lord and Hua Jianxin swallow their saliva.
amazing!
When he had nothing to do, Jiang Changsheng loved to make alchemy. He had already mastered the art of alchemy, so he succeeded in the first try.
After refining, he went to find Taoist Master Qingxu.
Along the way, when the disciples saw him, they all saluted and were in awe.
Arriving at the courtyard of Taoist Master Qingxu, Jiang Changsheng met this master.
Ever since he brought the Demon Lord up the mountain, Taoist Master Qingxu had been hiding in the courtyard and never went out again. On weekdays, he was the only disciple who delivered meals to him.
Taoist Master Qingxu was still meditating under the tree. He did not practice any martial arts, but just stared at the old tree in a daze.
"Master, my disciple has refined the antidote, which will definitely cure your poison."
Jiang Changsheng smiled, waiting for Taoist Master Qingxu's complicated expression of surprise and emotion.
However, Taoist Priest Qingxu had no expression on his face and did not even turn his head.
You won't be stupid, right?
Jiang Changsheng was a little worried and took two steps forward.
"Bring the antidote." Taoist Master Qingxu raised his hand and reached out to Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng immediately took out the antidote and muttered in his heart, "It's so hard."
He didn't care so much. In any case, it was Taoist Priest Qingxu who saved him when he was young and gave him a place to live. Perhaps this was all the emperor's plan, but when he was taken care of by traitors, he It was obvious that some people really wanted to kill him.
Taoist Master Qingxu took the medicine and drank it without hesitation.
After taking the medicine, he stood up, turned to look at Jiang Changsheng, and said, "Disciple, prepare to go down the mountain for me."
Going down the mountain?
Jiang Changsheng was stunned.
The first senior brother ran away, the second senior brother ran away, and now the master wants to run away too?
Just as he was about to speak, Taoist Master Qingxu shook his head and said, "I wanted to protect you for five years, but now you are strong enough. Even Tongtian in the palace may not be able to take you down. I am relieved, my master." It’s time to go.”
Jiang Changsheng frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Taoist Master Qingxu replied: "Go to where you want to go."
After that, he stepped forward and passed by Jiang Changsheng.
"I'll leave it to you after Long Qiguan."
Taoist Priest Qingxu left these words and then disappeared into the corridor.
Jiang Changsheng frowned, does this old guy want to run away?
He hurriedly chased after him. No matter how he tried to persuade him, Taoist Qingxu just moved forward until he reached the mountain gate. He stopped and watched Taoist Qingxu go down the mountain.
Just leave like that?
Don't even pack anything?
Jiang Changsheng didn't know how to explain it to the other disciples, so he simply returned to the academy and concentrated on training.
Two days later.
As a visitor from the imperial court, Eunuch Li came all the way to Jiang Changsheng's courtyard, escorted by a group of Imperial Guards. Qing Ku led the way, followed by many disciples.
Hua Jianxin and the Demon Lord hid in the house, and Jiang Changsheng walked up to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li raised his hands, and there was an imperial edict in his hands.
He smiled and nodded at Jiang Changsheng, then opened the imperial edict and said: "According to the emperor's decree, Taoist Master Qingxu is old and unable to serve as the abbot of Longqiguan. From today on, Taoist Changsheng will be the abbot of Longqiguan and enjoy The fourth-grade salary of the imperial court can control the Incense Gate Courtyard, I appreciate this!"
