"Then why can't I be from other dynasties?"
Jiang Changsheng stared at the old monk and asked. There must be a reason why the old monk was hiding in the mountains, so he had to ask.
The old monk shook his head and said, "I believe in my intuition."
Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked: "I wonder where the master came from and why he established a temple in such a deep mountain?"
The old monk sighed and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk came from Tianhai and hid here. He had no choice but to avoid Tianhai's pursuit. Secondly, he was afraid of going to crowded places because of the prestige of the Taoist ancestors. It is easy to cause trouble, so it is better to hide in the mountains to recuperate and recite sutras for monsters and evil spirits on weekdays to get rid of their evil nature."
Tianhai?
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are we chasing you?"
"The poor monk's sect obtained a treasure, which aroused jealousy. However, without the support of the Cave Heaven Realm, it was massacred and the sect was destroyed. Only the poor monk escaped." The old monk said sadly.
He followed: "If the Taoist ancestor doesn't want the poor monk to stay in Dajing, the poor monk is willing to leave. If the Taoist ancestor is willing to take the poor monk in, the poor monk is willing to donate the treasure, but such a treasure can easily cause trouble to Dajing."
Jiang Changsheng asked with great interest: "Can you let me see what treasure it is?"
The old monk immediately took out a bead from his sleeve. This bead was the size of a baby's fist, dark green in color, and faintly glowing with red light. He introduced: "This is the demon-gathering bead, which was transformed by the demonic power of the ancient demon emperor. , you can gather monsters from all over the world for your own use, but once you use it, there will definitely be strange phenomena, so it is easy to be exposed. Even if you don't use the monster gathering beads, it can easily attract monsters."
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand, made a move from the air, took the Demon Gathering Pearl into his hand, and used his spiritual sense to explore it.
Facing Jiang Changsheng's robbery, the old monk did not panic and was very calm.
Jiang Changsheng discovered that this bead was indeed condensed with powerful demonic power. It was extremely vast. There was also a trace of the remnant soul of the demonic beast hidden in it. It was sleeping. This soul was extremely weak and difficult to wake up.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of powerful monster could condense such beads.
"Among the strong people who want to get the Demon Gathering Pearl, how strong is the strongest one?"
Jiang Changsheng asked silently in his heart. He didn't ask anyone, fearing that monsters and evil spirits might want to snatch it away.
[500,000 incense points need to be consumed, do you want to continue?]
really!
Not only Tianhai is fighting for it, but there are also more powerful beings. The strongest person in Tianhai is not worth more than 200,000.
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to accept it. If he didn't accept it, the bead would definitely bring trouble to Da Jing. It would be better to put it in his hands, and he might be able to order monsters to fight in the future.
He said: "After you recover from your injury, will you leave Dajing?"
The old monk immediately said: "It all depends on the Taoist ancestors. If the Taoist needs the poor monk to leave, the poor monk will leave. If the Taozu asks the poor monk to stay, the poor monk will stay."
"Are you really willing to give me such a treasure?"
"The poor monk has been in Dajing for a long time, and he has already observed Taoist ancestors. He has been practicing in seclusion for many years, and has never harmed the people of Dajing. You still call for wind and rain for the people of Dajing. With such behavior, you are definitely not a treacherous and evil person. You can even Kill the poor monk directly to get this bead, but you didn't do that. The poor monk is not greedy for the demon gathering bead, he just doesn't want it to fall into the hands of evil people. If the strong man from Tianhai, the cave sky, gets the demon gathering bead, he will not care about it. With so many sea monsters, the world will be in catastrophe."
"Aren't you afraid that I will do the same thing?"
"You care about the people of Dajing. Based on this alone, you will not use the Demon Gathering Pearl indiscriminately. Once used, innocent people will be devoured by the monsters."
The old monk faced Jiang Changsheng calmly, without any fear or any intention of begging.
Jiang Changsheng threw the Demon-Gathering Pearl into the Giant Spirit Ring and said: "If you want to stay in Dajing, then stay. Remember, don't hurt the people. If you are discovered by me, no matter how far you escape to the end of the world, I will Can kill you."
Jiang Changsheng turned around and prepared to leave.
"Daozu, stay!"
The old monk quickly stopped him. He turned around and saw that the old monk walked behind the Buddha statue, took out two kittens, and came to Jiang Changsheng.
"I heard that there are spiritual snakes and spiritual wolves in Longqi Temple, which is enough to prove that Daozu, you have the benevolence and justice in your heart for the equality of all people. You might as well take in these two little guys. Their qualifications are not simple. Ordinary monsters will lose their minds if they are attracted by the Monster Gathering Pearl. They don't."
The old monk said seriously, and Jiang Changsheng's eyes fell on the two kittens.
These two kittens look no different from kittens in the countryside. One is orange and the other is black. Judging from their size, they should be four or five months old.
Jiang Changsheng checked with his spiritual mind and found that the two kittens were indeed not simple. They already had demonic power accumulated in their bodies.
He immediately took it, turned around and left, disappearing in two steps.
"If you want to establish a sect in Dajing, I will not stop you. As long as you can benefit Dajing, there is no need for a master in the Qiankun realm to live in a deserted mountain for a long time. If you are afraid of enemies, you can go to Sizhou to establish a sect."
Jiang Changsheng's voice echoed in the small temple. After hearing this, the old monk did not smile, but looked worried.
…
Before returning to the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng asked the clone to leave the courtyard, merge with himself, and then return to the courtyard.
He put down the two kittens in his hands and said, "Bai Qi, you will be responsible for taking care of them from now on."
Bai Qi, who was taking a nap, suddenly sat up and looked around confusedly.
The Sword God's eyes fell on the two kittens on the ground. After careful observation, he believed that Jiang Changsheng would not pick up ordinary wild cats. Just like Bai Qi and Bai Long, they were monster beasts with extraordinary talents.
Not all beasts can become monsters, and the descendants of monster beasts are often more likely to cultivate into monsters.
When Bai Qi saw the two kittens, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I am worried that life is boring.
Jiang Changsheng didn't pay much attention. He sat down in front of the Earth Spirit Tree and began to build the Dao Realm, at least to make the Dao Realm look neat and less messy.
I have to say, it feels like playing a construction and farming game, which is quite interesting.
Just like that, there were two more little demon cats in the courtyard.
A few days later, Jiang Changsheng gave them names. The little orange cat was named Huang Tian, and the little black cat was named Heitian. They were both males, and Huang Tian seemed to be slightly older.
Bai Qi teases them every day, making the courtyard more lively.
…
Early January in the fourteenth year of Ren De.
Jiang Jian and Ping An entered the imperial city. Emperor Hong Xuan was smashed into a pulp by Ping An, and blood flowed into the palace.
In February, civil and military forces from all over the Hongxuan Dynasty surrendered. At this point, the Hongxuan Dynasty was overthrown. It lasted for 207 years and had a total of twelve emperors.
When this news spread to Da Jing, the whole world cheered, and the reputation of Jiang Xiu and Jiang Jian reached its peak.
In the imperial study room.
Jiang Xiu, who was about to turn sixty, slammed the table and left, his face flushed with excitement. He pumped his fist and shouted: "Okay! Okay! That's great!"
After fourteen years of reigning, the next dynasty was conquered, and the economy and people's livelihood of Dajing did not collapse, but flourished. This achievement will definitely leave a mark in history. Even if it is not as good as Jing Taizong, the gap will not be too big!
How many years!
Jiang Xiu often woke up from his dreams. He always dreamed of the late emperor, who asked him when he could rule the world.
"Hahaha--"
Jiang Xiu laughed wildly, showing his high spirits, but as he laughed, he began to cough violently.
The guard in white who was kneeling in front of the table quickly stood up and helped him. His blood surged up, causing his face to turn red. He eventually gushed blood and fainted.
…
night.
Jiang Changsheng sat beside Jiang Xiu's bed with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Jiang Xiu's face turned pale, and he said weakly: "Grandpa, there is no need to feel sorry for me. My grandson has known about this day for a long time. In fact, many years ago, my grandson's health was no longer good. Thanks to your elixir, my grandson can live to this day." At the stage of making great achievements again... my grandson has no regrets..."
He grabbed Jiang Changsheng's hand tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "Grandpa, my grandson wants to depose the prince and let Tiansheng ascend the throne. Although he is young, Chen Li will assist him... Please allow me, grandpa..."
He knew Jiang Changsheng's taboos and didn't want the country to be in chaos and the Jiang family to be at war with each other again, but he had no choice.
Jiang Changsheng sighed and said, "Okay, everything is up to you."
Jiang Xiu smiled and murmured: "If it is passed on to Tiansheng, maybe Dajing will become stronger instead of weaker..."
After a stick of incense, Jiang Changsheng returned to Longqishan. The grandfather and grandson didn't have much to talk to, so he decided to leave time to Jiang Xiu and Jiang Tiansheng.
When Bai Qi saw him appearing, he quickly asked: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
Jiang Changsheng sat down and said calmly: "The deadline has come."
Bai Qi was silent.
The Sword God was not surprised. Emperors of dynasties were always short-lived, not to mention that Emperor Dajing had many heirs and was not afraid of being succeeded by no one.
It's just that he is curious about who the next emperor will be, whether it is the incompetent prince or the young prince who has inherited the title of human king.
the other side.
Jiang Xiu summoned Jiang Tiansheng, and ten-year-old Jiang Tiansheng immediately laid down in front of Jiang Xiu's bed and sobbed softly.
No matter how evil his mind is, he is still just a child, and it is difficult for him to accept his father's death.
Jiang Xiu touched his head and said: "Shengsheng, my father told you something. You must remember it and pass it on to the next prince in the future. This is the biggest secret of the Jiang family's royal family. It is also the biggest source of confidence for the Jiang family and must not be cut off..."
Jiang Tiansheng raised his head and stared at Jiang Xiu with his red eyes.
Jiang Xiu began to tell.
As he listened, Jiang Tiansheng's eyes widened with a look of shock.
This night is destined to be difficult for many people to sleep.
Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Tianmin wandered anxiously in the lobby.
At this time, an eunuch walked in quickly, and Jiang Tianmin quickly asked: "Where is the imperial edict? Where is the imperial edict!"
The eunuch said in a trembling voice: "There is no imperial edict... His Majesty met with the Twelve Highnesses alone..."
Jiang Tianmin's eyes suddenly turned red, filled with hatred.
At this moment, he just felt like the sky was falling.
There was even an infinite killing intent in his heart.
He immediately left the Prince's Mansion and looked for trustworthy experts, but without exception, they all rejected him.
No one was willing to kill Jiang Tiansheng for him.
late at night.
Jiang Tianmin was walking alone on the street, completely devastated. He knew that he had lost, completely.
The endless hatred turned into unprecedented regret. He finally understood that if he didn't blame others, he would blame himself. After holding the position of prince for so many years, he didn't have his own team or his own cronies. If it spread, it would probably be a joke.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became.
In the end, he lost all hope and could only resign himself to his fate.
