After the Four Seas Sages left, Jiang Changsheng fell into thinking.
He was wondering why the Mahayana Dragon Tower was tied up?
Where is the sacred cave mentioned by the sages of the Four Seas, and how many unknown masters are hidden there?
Jiang Changsheng estimated that the Qiankun Realm should be the next realm of the Golden Body Realm. The Taoist Natural Skills broke through one level, and the martial arts realm was two levels apart. It was already an exaggeration, and it could not be any different.
The realm of martial arts should be divided into third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, true essence, spiritual consciousness, heaven-reaching, divine heart, divine man, golden body, and universe!
There should be gods and men in the Mahayana Dragon Tower, but not many. Among the sages of the four seas, the strongest ones should be in the Golden Body realm, and Jiang Changsheng is in the stronger Qiankun realm.
So, invincible?
No, it’s just that the regional map is invincible, so don’t be too conceited.
Jiang Changsheng silently thought that he was much more relaxed. He was strong and could not be rash. Being cautious did not mean being too afraid. He could just live comfortably in his own environment.
Arakawa came over and asked excitedly: "Master, what is the realm of a god? Is there a god above the sky?"
He had memorized all the words of the Four Seas Sages just now.
A broader world and a higher realm all fascinated him.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said: "Above the sky is the state of mind of gods, and further up is the state of mind of gods. Xu Tianji is the state of mind of gods."
"Then you are a god!"
Arakawa said with admiration on his face, Jiang Changsheng could not deny it.
The news that the Four Seas Sage was scared away did not spread in the world, because the name of the Four Seas Sage was originally unknown in the world, and only a few people had heard of it.
Day by day passed.
In autumn, the mountains and woods turn yellow.
On this day, Meng Qiushuang came to visit Jiang Changsheng.
"Taoist Master, it's time to prepare to choose the next great disciple."
Meng Qiu Shuang said sadly that the once glorious eldest sister has now entered old age. Although she takes good care of herself, she still can't hide the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and hands.
People are old and tired, and their energy cannot keep up.
Jiang Changsheng pondered: "How about Wanli?"
Meng Qiu Shuang nodded and said: "Of course it is possible, but the Taoist Priest has to think about his next appointment. He should also select a young disciple from Longqi Temple to practice under you."
Jiang Changsheng is a martial arts legend, but the three disciples under his command are not pure disciples of Longqiguan. They followed King Wei down the mountain safely. Arakawa's relationship with other disciples is not that good. He is always immersed in martial arts. It is difficult to become a person with such a character. The chief disciple in charge of Longqi Temple.
After hearing this, Jiang Changsheng said: "That makes sense. I will select another disciple in the next few days."
Meng Qiu Shuang smiled, and then began to reminisce with Jiang Changsheng about her childhood. Jiang Changsheng also liked to hear it. People like to miss the past when they get older.
…
In the third year of Zhenyu, the King of Wei brought 100,000 cavalry to the northern border and defeated the 300,000 Jin army with 100,000 troops. He became famous all over the world. He had a fierce general under his command, which even shocked the Jin Dynasty. His name was Ping'an. He was able to kill 8,000 enemies with his own power, and he could be called a demon on earth. Such achievements spread throughout the Thirteen Prefectures, which also made Jing Chao unbelievable.
Most people thought it was a rumor, and such achievements were too exaggerated.
In April, the King of Wei made a surprise attack on Shenzhou and swept away Gu Khan's 150,000 troops. He pursued them for several days and killed all the soldiers of Gu Khan. Shenzhou returned to Da Jing's hands again!
The people of Dajing began to get excited due to the successive good news. Could it be true?
For a time, legends about King Wei began to spread, including being born with three eyes, the reincarnation of the golden-winged roc, being a disciple of martial arts myths, etc., making King Wei's image in the hearts of the people of Dajing even higher.
The rise of King Wei also put great pressure on the prince and other princes. The emperor had to send more troops to support the prince. He was also worried that King Wei was too powerful and would affect the status of the prince.
In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
Jiang Yu was processing the memorial when a guard in white came in, knelt in front of the table and began to tell the information. Jiang Yu frowned after hearing this.
"Ping'an, Xu Tianji... Long Qiguan really spared no effort... Was his army recruited by the Yang family?"
Jiang Yu frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, wondering what he was thinking about.
He never expected that the King of Wei would rise. Before, he thought that Jiang Changsheng had to accept the King of Wei just because of the imperial power, but he did not expect that they would actually establish a deep relationship.
The white-clothed guard said: "Not only the Yang family, but also the Chen family."
Jiang Yu frowned even more tightly. Before he ascended the throne, these two families had already moved their families to the south, leaving only high-ranking officials in the capital. If he were to move the ministers of the two families now, the two families would probably start from the south. This would would threaten his imperial power.
He looked at Guiliu, the head of the Thirteen Thorns of Tiansu, standing next to him, and asked: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Gui Liu's eyes flashed and he said: "The Yang family, Chen family, and Long Qiguan all support the King of Wei, and their intentions are also obvious. However, the Yang family and the Chen family have all evacuated the capital, but Long Qiguan has not. Your Majesty, this is worthy of caution. "
Jiang Yu was not stupid, he asked in a deep voice: "You mean Long Qiguan is a knife that will stab me at any time?"
Gui Liu said: "If Your Majesty does not move the two families and directly suppress the King of Wei, Long Qiguan will definitely not take action, but... Long Qiguan is determined by the imperial power. He is well aware of the struggle for imperial power. When they make a choice, they must also know that they cannot fail."
Jiang Yu fell into deep thought.
He looked at the white-clothed guard in front and said, "Go down first and continue to stare at King Wei."
"yes!"
The guard in white clothes left quickly.
Jiang Yu stood up and wandered around the imperial study room.
Gui Liu spoke again: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to directly deal with the martial arts myths. As for the current plan, I have a method, which is to recruit the King of Qin to return to the capital. When the King of Qin comes back, Zong Tianwu will definitely come back. Your Majesty has absorbed Zong Tianwu's power. We will wait. If we help His Majesty win the martial arts myth again, then His Majesty's skill will reach an unprecedented height, and His Majesty may even be able to drive and conquer in person, creating unparalleled achievements that the late Emperor never created."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu stopped, his eyes lit up, and said: "This is a good idea, just in time to get rid of King Qin."
Jiang Yu's existence has always been a thorn in Jiang Yu's heart. If he were not in a crisis, Jiang Yu would have many ways to get rid of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu frowned and said, "Can we really take down Zong Tianwu?"
Zong Tianwu, the former martial arts supreme, had never lost in a single battle against the three great masters of Gu Khan. As an emperor, Jiang Yu knew this man's record best.
Gui Liu said: "Longlou is about to send a venerable person here. This venerable person is a peerless master who is above the Tongtian Realm. Together with His Majesty and us, Zong Tianwu will have no chance of escaping!"
Jiang Yu's eyes were cold and he hummed: "Then I will call them back to pay homage to the Queen Mother."
…
In the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng was practicing his kung fu while staring at the competition between the two people in front of him. One was Arakawa, and the other was Jiang Changsheng's new disciple. He was an orphan brought back from his long travels in the world, named Ling Xiao. Now Only eleven years old, he has already shown good martial arts talent.
Arakawa did not use his true energy and relied solely on his fist and kick skills to compete with Ling Xiao. Even though he was seven years older than Ling Xiao, his fist and kick skills could not completely suppress Ling Xiao.
After all, Ling Xiao was also the one with top qualifications selected by Jiang Changsheng from more than 200 disciples of Longqi Temple. Of course, Arakawa showed mercy.
Arakawa pushed Ling Xiao back, and seeing that he was out of breath, he smiled and said: "That's it, junior brother, you almost defeated me, you are so powerful."
Ling Xiao's face turned red. He didn't know whether he was tired or shy. He shook his head and said, "How is that possible? Senior brother, please don't comfort me. I know my abilities. If senior brother is serious, he can defeat me with one move."
Arakawa smiled. He suddenly thought that his master had said that he could almost meet him. Could it be...
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Changsheng, and saw Jiang Changsheng looking at them, which made him look away in fear.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Ling Xiao, in addition to external kung fu, internal kung fu is the foundation. Now you don't need to listen to the teachings, you have to seize the time to practice kung fu. When you become an adult, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of teaching other disciples."
Ling Xiao nodded quickly, feeling very embarrassed.
It had been some time since he became a disciple of Jiang Changsheng, but he was still nervous. Fortunately, Arakawa had a cheerful personality and took him with him.
At this time, Eunuch Li ran in.
Although Eunuch Li has joined Long Qiguan now, he often travels around the capital on weekdays, helping Long Qiguan with various food, medicinal materials, etc., and he himself is also managing contacts.
Seeing Eunuch Li coming, Arakawa had the foresight to take Ling Xiao out of the courtyard. Wangchen and Bailong were not there either. They helped collect mature medicinal materials in the back mountain.
Eunuch Li came to Jiang Changsheng and whispered: "The reason why the emperor recalled King Qin to the capital was to pay homage to the Queen Mother, but there is no tomb of the Queen Mother in the imperial mausoleum."
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean the emperor wants to attack King Qin?"
Eunuch Li nodded and said: "Recently, a succession of princes have died of illness. I suspect it is the emperor's fault. King Qin is the brother who threatens him the most openly, and with the help of Zong Tianwu, he has to get rid of him."
Jiang Changsheng stopped saying anything.
Eunuch Li bent down to salute, then turned and left.
Jiang Changsheng moved his eyes to a tombstone at the back of the courtyard and sighed slightly.
…
Between the mountains and fields, two figures were riding forward on the official road. They were Jiang Yu and Zong Tianwu. They changed into casual clothes and did not wear armor.
The gray-haired Zong Tianwu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this trip to Beijing will be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."
Jiang Yu looked forward and said: "Of course I know this, but I didn't come back when my father died. My mother died of illness, and I still haven't come back. I can't miss it anymore."
Zong Tianwu sighed.
"After this is over, you can go back to your sect. Although I am very unhappy with the current emperor, he did give birth to a good son. King Wei is better than me." Jiang Yu said with emotion.
Zong Tianwu frowned and said: "The King of Wei is indeed young and very courageous, but if you really don't fight, my lord, you will only die if you give up."
The battle for imperial power can be given up if you want to.
Jiang Yu said: "If you can leave alive, then you can disarm and return home, become a knight-errant, and travel around the world. It will be a happy life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu reined in his horse, and Zong Tianwu did the same.
A figure appeared on the road ahead. The man was wearing a purple-red dress, with long hair coiled under a jade crown with a snake head. His face was stern. With every step he took, black energy rose under his feet, as if he was stepping from Jiuyou.
Zong Tianwu frowned and said: "The opponent is very strong, not inferior to the master."
He was secretly confused, when did such a peerless master appear in Dajing Wulin? He had never seen it before.
"The supreme martial arts master, Zong Tianwu, is worthy of his reputation when we meet him today. I am Snake-Hater, you may call me Snake-Hater."
The other party laughed jokingly, his smile full of murderous intent and sarcasm.
Zong Tianwu looked at him and said: "Venerable Snake-Hater? You nameless man, do you want to fight me with your own strength?"
Venerable Snake-Hater smiled and said: "Since you look down on me, I will satisfy you."
As soon as the words fell, figures jumped out from the woods in all directions, approaching quickly, surrounding Zong Tianwu and Jiang Yu.
Tiansu Thirteen Thorns!
