The Sages of the Four Seas left with Jiang Luo, and Jiang Changsheng began to look forward to Jiang Luo's future. He wanted to see what Jiang Luo, who was practicing martial arts in the Xiansheng Cave, could achieve in the future.
The second prince's departure was quiet, and the emperor did not mention it to the outside world.
A few days later, Hua Jianxin found out about this. After asking the emperor about it, she came back to complain to Jiang Changsheng.
"Wouldn't it be better to go to the Xiansheng Cave and practice martial arts with you?" Hua Jianxin said with a worried look on her face. When she saw the two princes being born, she felt extremely distressed and couldn't bear to part with them.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said: "It's good. The Jiang family also needs someone to see the wider world. Besides, I won't raise future generations for Ziyu. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Hua Jianxin sighed and said: "Yes, people say that having twins in an emperor's house is a bad sign, especially if there is no prince. If Jiang Luo is sent away, the country will be more stable."
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will Jiang Luo come back one day and want to seize the throne?"
Jiang Changsheng was happy and said: "Don't think too much."
Speaking of which, Prince Jingchao is a curse and will never end well.
Hua Jianxin became even more sad, holding her cheek with her right hand and looking at the sky, obviously thinking.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"What if Jiang Luo comes back fifty or sixty years later?"
"I'm here too."
"Well, Jue Xin Divine Monk can live a long life, so naturally you can too."
Hua Jianxin swept away the worry on her brows, and asked with a smile: "Ling Xiao is going to lead a team down the mountain for training recently, aren't you worried?"
Ling Xiao is Jiang Changsheng's junior disciple, the most talented disciple selected by Meng Qiu Shuang, and a candidate for the next senior disciple. However, he has a shy personality and is embarrassed even when facing Jiang Changsheng, his master.
Jiang Changsheng said: "He is already nineteen years old. Although he is still far away from the Tongtian realm, it would be good to go down the mountain to practice. Today's world is not so chaotic."
There are still disputes in the world, but due to the large number of warriors gaining fame, the grievances are much less than before.
Hua Jianxin smiled and said, "I'm starting to look forward to what kind of transformation he will have."
Jiang Changsheng also looked outside the court. The number of disciples of Long Qiguan has exceeded 500. Even without Jiang Changsheng, with Ping An and Arakawa around, it can be regarded as a great sect. With him, Longqi Temple is even more spectacular. The holy land of martial arts.
An idea suddenly occurred to him.
Shouldn't it be time for him to give up his position and select a Taoist priest to be the facade? Anyway, he usually doesn't care about things, so he can be the Supreme Master and hide behind the scenes.
Long Qiguan cannot be allowed to rely too much on him, and since he has always been a Taoist priest, it is easy for him to expose the secret of his immortality.
Another advantage is that if Long Qiguan doesn't have him, martial arts masters will attack, and he can quietly earn survival rewards.
Um.
When Meng Qiu Shuang and his group of old disciples die, he can start the plan to give up his throne. For now, he has to wait and see.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.
Time flies so fast!
He couldn't help but think of Taoist Master Qingxu, and he didn't know whether the master was dead or alive. If he was alive, where was he?
…
In the fifth year of Qianwu's reign, many merchants had their homes confiscated for bullying the people, evading taxes, paying murderers, and many other crimes. The people were happy, and they all felt that the current emperor was a saintly king who was considerate of the people.
In the sixth year of Qianwu, the third son of King Jiang Yu of Qin disappeared at the border of Gu Khan. After half a month of searching, he could not be found. The King of Qin reported to the emperor, guessing that it was Gu Khan who did it. The emperor was furious and sent a mission to inquire and at the same time rectify the army.
A month later, the emperor issued a public edict to the world to clarify the matter, angrily denounced the ancient Khan for not upholding morality and attacked and killed the prince of Qin. General Dajing attacked the ancient Khan to avenge the prince of Qin and promote the heroic style of Jingwu.
This time, no one opposed or feared the people of the Thirteen Prefectures. Instead, they were ambitious. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has earned hundreds of thousands of warriors and has invested in various armies. Dajing's military strength has returned to its peak, or even surpassed it.
Since Gu Khan dared to violate the situation, how could Da Jing not fight back?
The last sentence of the imperial edict inspired people all over the world, and even martial arts people admired the emperor's lofty sentiments.
"Anyone who offends our Dajing people will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Jiang Ziyu naturally heard this statement from Jiang Changsheng. When he first listened to the story of the Han Dynasty, he was most profound about this statement, and now he applies it to Da Jing.
On the cliff, Jiang Changsheng looked at the army gathered outside the North City Gate with a calm expression.
Bai Qi squatted beside him and exclaimed in amazement: "The human race is really competitive. They have been quiet for a few years and started fighting again. But I have to say that the current Dajing army is really strong. The leader is actually a master figure. There are also recent ones." The ten people reach the sky, which is completely different from what I saw when I first entered the great scene."
The grandmaster leading the army is Xu Tianji, and Ping An has also been recruited to follow him in the battle.
Jiang Changsheng said leisurely: "Yes, people in the world are really competitive, especially emperors."
The emperors of the Jiang family were all of the same temperament. Jiang Yuan wanted to annex the ancient Khan, and Jiang Ziyu was even more so. Moreover, Jiang Ziyu's ambition was obviously greater. There were a large number of troops stationed in the east and west, and they could attack neighboring dynasties at any time.
Jiang Changsheng had no intention of dissuading Jiang Ziyu. Such a campaign might cause dissatisfaction from other imperial clans, but he would treat it as a survival reward.
All ambitious emperors want to achieve greater hegemony than their predecessors, and the same goes for Jiang Ziyu. Since he was a child, he has expressed his ambition to dominate various dynasties, and Jiang Changsheng naturally cannot stop him.
If Dajing wants to keep a foothold, it must continue to become stronger. Development is only one of the ways to become stronger. Conquest is the core method. After all, the resources and productivity of a day are limited. If you are strong enough, you can conquer others and improve your own ability. improve people’s living standards and reduce potential threats.
Jiang Changsheng would not sympathize with the people of other dynasties. If the ancient Khan and Jin dynasties were stronger than Dajing, they would also annex Dajing. This is inevitable.
After watching for a long time, Jiang Changsheng turned around and returned to the courtyard to continue practicing.
With the help of elixirs, his cultivation level has been growing. Although he is still far away from the seventh level of Taoist natural skills, at least it is no longer out of reach.
Seventeen years had passed since his last breakthrough, and Jiang Changsheng had almost forgotten the feeling of breakthrough.
…
Spring and summer pass, and autumn comes.
Jiang Changsheng was practicing under the Earth Spirit Tree. Eunuch Li quickly ran in, came to him, and whispered: "Taoist Master, Emperor Yang Zhao is suspected of becoming a god. The power of Fentian Pavilion has greatly increased. He captured Wu before August." Feng, unify the southern martial arts world."
"It is true that Emperor Yang Zhao has the power of a master, but in just a few years, he has succeeded in breaking through. I suspect that it is the remnants of Mahayana Dragon Tower. They may even make a comeback through the shell of Burning Sky Pavilion."
After Jiang Changsheng heard this, he didn't care and said casually: "Even if he is a god, he dares to come to the capital?"
There are peerless masters and young geniuses appearing in the world from time to time, but no matter how strong their performance is, they cannot be number one in the hearts of the warriors in the world, unless they dare to go to the capital to fight against the God of War and prove themselves.
Since the defeat of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, no master from Long Qiguan has come to challenge him. The warriors who come are all well-behaved and pay the incense money honestly.
Eunuch Li chuckled and said: "Of course he doesn't dare to come. I'm not here to remind you. After all, there was no god in Dajing Wulin before."
Jiang Changsheng thought it was reasonable, and he said: "Investigate where Emperor Yang Zhao broke through. I suspect that he may have used some kind of treasure to break through the gods."
He had heard before that the Mahayana Dragon Tower suppressed the Dajing Martial Arts in order to obtain resources for martial arts practice. He asked Xiao Mootian, and the guy told him a lot, such as the Enlightenment Stone, the Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng, the Kirin Blood Scale, the Thousand-Year Cold Silkworm, etc. There are many kinds of treasures, and he also told Jiang Ziyu about it, but Jiang Ziyu has not collected many treasures over the years.
According to what Xiao Moutian said, thousands of years ago, martial arts was at its peak in the Thirteen Prefectures, with powerful warriors capable of moving mountains and seas, and even rare and rare beasts roaming the world. At that time, there were no dynasties, only clans and sects. , then for some reason, the martial arts of the Thirteen States declined, and those rare treasures and martial arts inheritance were hidden in the darkness of the world. The Mahayana Dragon Tower took the opportunity to seize the Thirteen States, monopolized the resources of the Thirteen States, and then became strong and even gained control over the surrounding areas. The control of the dynasty has created a thousand-year holy land.
Warriors can use rare treasures to enhance their energy and blood and break through realms, but warriors have different physiques and require a certain degree of fitness. If you take a certain treasure forcibly, your body may explode and die. Even the Mahayana Dragon Tower cannot be counted as a certain kind of warrior. What kind of treasures does a warrior need? In order to become a god, dozens of geniuses are often sacrificed, or even more. However, only one god is born within a hundred years, which is enough for the Mahayana Dragon Tower to gain a foothold in the ten directions.
Eunuch Li responded: "Okay, I will arrange to investigate the matter after I come down from the mountain."
He rolled his eyes and said, "Taoist Priest, I have something to ask of you, but I don't know whether to answer it or not."
Jiang Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Go ahead."
"The old slave is old and does not have many years to live. Now the power at hand is passed down by someone. Although the old slave is incapable of giving birth, he was still born to his parents. I have a biological brother who also lives in the capital. His grandson He has a good talent and has also passed the martial arts examination. The old slave wants to recommend this grandson. If the Taoist Master can give him some advice, he will be more capable and can be better used by the Taoist Master in the future."
Eunuch Li said cautiously, fearing that Jiang Changsheng would be displeased.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you can take him up the mountain."
He could understand human nature, and Eunuch Li had really tried his best over the years.
Eunuch Li immediately thanked him and went down the mountain excitedly.
At noon the next day, Eunuch Li brought his grandson to pay homage to him. His name was Li Min. He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face. He was dressed in the clothes of a knight, and he was hunched over and respectful. Compared with Eunuch Li, it is difficult to imagine that they are related by blood.
Li Min was also very excited when facing Jiang Changsheng, but he restrained himself very well.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Eunuch Li, go back."
Eunuch Li nodded, then looked at Li Min and warned, "You must be obedient and don't talk back to me. If you annoy the Taoist Priest, I'll beat you to death first without the Taoist Priest taking action!"
Li Min nodded, his eyes quite helpless.
After Eunuch Li left, Jiang Changsheng looked at Li Min.
This boy is approaching the realm of spiritual consciousness at a young age, and his qualifications are indeed good.
"What kind of martial arts do you want to learn?" Jiang Changsheng asked.
Li Min touched the sword on his waist and said seriously: "This junior wants to learn swordsmanship."
He was a little uneasy. After all, he had never heard of the immortal master using a sword.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said: "Okay, I have a sword technique that no one has learned. This sword technique is extremely fierce and can be regarded as a quick martial arts. In desperate situations, it can even burst into cross-border fighting strength, but it will damage the life span."
Li Min's eyes lit up and he said, "Is it just that life will be consumed in desperate situations?"
"That's natural. If you don't consume much at ordinary times, your life span will not be shortened."
"Then juniors need to learn."
Li Min was moved when he heard that it was a quick martial art.
Jiang Changsheng began to teach Li Min the God-killing Demon Sword.
The reason why he inherited the God-killing Devil Sword is that although Li Min's qualifications are good, they are not perfect. In addition, he is already an adult and practicing other martial arts. It is difficult to reach the sky, let alone a higher realm. Jiang Changsheng needs Li Min to be strong enough. , can you explore the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
Just like that, there was another person practicing martial arts in Jiang Changsheng's courtyard.
After Arakawa saw him, the two had a spar. Li Min was helpless, which made him more in awe of Jiang Changsheng. Any disciple could easily defeat him. It was really amazing.
After going back and forth, Arakawa and Li Min actually had similar temperaments and became good friends.
Half a year later, Li Min wielded the sword to kill gods and demons for the first time, and Hua Jianxin brought a piece of news.
"The Jin Dynasty has changed. Just a month ago, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty was killed at night. The entire royal family was massacred. All the corpses were hung on the gates of the royal city. It was suspected to be the work of martial arts masters. The frontline garrison camp also received a mysterious letter. The letter warns Da Jing that if he dares to cross the border again, Emperor Da Jing will die in the palace and follow in the footsteps of the emperors of the Jin Dynasty."
After Jiang Changsheng heard this, his face was expressionless, and he secretly thought to himself that after a few years of calm, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore?
