Chapter 3 The affairs of the rivers and lakes, watching the spies
"If Mr. Chen is willing, he can give it to Longqiguan directly. Why should he give it to me alone?"
Jiang Changsheng asked, staring at Chen Li.
Chen Li was stunned. Although he had already experienced the maturity of this son as unusual as an ordinary person, he was still shocked. He shook his head and laughed: "What a Long Qiguan position, how can I make friends with me alone? You are not incompatible with you, and you are even more unreal. I just want to make friends with Taoist masters. Taoist masters have such martial arts skills when he was young. He will definitely be the leader in the martial arts world in the future, and he can even become the top martial arts scholar and serve the court."
He was the top scorer who passed the exam last year. His life experience has attracted public discussion, but books are the important books of inheritance, and most of them are in the hands of the gentry. How can civilians pass the gentry? This year, the emperor specially promoted the two top scorers, one of the civil and military officials.
The cost of practicing martial arts in this world is not high. There are many sects in the world that attract people. It only requires talent to practice martial arts, but also to read books. In comparison, it is easier for civilians to make a name for themselves in martial arts.
Long Qiguan is a Taoist temple ordered by the emperor himself. The Chen family dare not make friends with Taoist Master Qingxu directly, which is prone to arouse suspicion from the emperor.
Jiang Changsheng felt that his words were reasonable. In life, blindly hiding will not be stable for a lifetime. Instead, it is beneficial to make friends with some powerful people.
More importantly, although Jiang Changsheng accepted his fate, he was so fucking dissatisfied. The fake prince had to find a way to kill him, and the powerful behind him could not be let go.
Looking back on his memories twelve years ago, there was indeed no surname Chen among the powerful people he heard of.
Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "Then I will accept it. I, a little Taoist, cannot lose your face as a top scholar."
Chen Li smiled without feeling ridiculed. As long as the other party accepted it, it would be a good start.
The reason why he is so enthusiastic is because of his family. The Chen family needs strong warriors too much. They have attracted many warriors, but they are all shaken by interests. Jiang Changsheng is different and is still young. As long as he gives good resources, he will be devoted to the Chen family sooner or later.
Chen Li began to talk about the murder case. It turned out that Xue Hai wanted to assassinate him, but he had been with Taoist Master Qingxu and was seeking Taoism. Xue Hai was caught sneaking by the deceased. Out of his mentality of being more official than Shang, he asked Xue Hai for questioning him. Xue Hai was upset and killed him. As for Jiang Changsheng, he was completely blamed. It turned out that Xue Hai had seen Jiang Changsheng practicing leg skills from afar at night.
Jiang Changsheng recalled that he did feel like he was being spied, but it was fleeting and he did not really see the other person, so he did not take it to heart.
"I am too in the world. I was too arrogant and was led by Xue Hai's few words. I thought I was smart and saw through the truth." Chen Li sighed, looking quite ashamed.
Seeing that he could admit his mistake, Jiang Changsheng changed his impression of him, and then asked curiously: "Why did Xue Hai kill you?"
Chen Li glanced at Qingku, who was stunned for a moment, then sensiblely retreated and closed the door.
"This matter involves the previous dynasty. My Chen family was originally an official from the previous dynasty, but later he lost his way. Xue Hai was the remnant of the previous dynasty. He killed me and just wanted to blame the dynasty, so that the surrendered gentry realized that the court was not friendly to the family that the previous dynasty surrendered. Unfortunately, he failed." Chen Li said helplessly.
The Chen family is really frustrated. They are awkward in the dynasty and have to face the revenge of the previous dynasty.
Jiang Changsheng has no sympathy. Who made you the first top scholar?
It is understandable from Xue Hai's standpoint that traitors are much hateful than enemies.
Chen Li did not talk much about the disputes in the court. Knowing that Jiang Changsheng had never gone down the mountain, he talked about interesting things in the martial arts world.
The martial arts masters fought alone in the eight major sects, which shocked the martial arts world.
The monk Fu Yao was injured and was killed by a waiter in the hacker.
The saint of Xuanyinlou was sneaked into the boudoir by the stolen saint and stole property.
King Guimu Xie was arrested by the court and sent to the heavenly prison.
Such things make Jiang Changsheng relish.
Chen Li also popularized the level of martial artists to him, from low to high to third-level, second-level, first-level and true essence realm. He could allow the true energy in his body to attack the enemy in martial arts. That would be considered as entering the true essence realm. Xue Hai is a master of the true essence realm and has been practicing martial arts for nearly twenty years.
Jiang Changsheng compared it and felt that it was not difficult for him to kill Xue Hai. Thanks to the Taoist natural skills, he only practiced into the second level. The true energy in his body was enough for him to squander the Divine Shadow Legs and the Nine Search Heavenly Dragon Step.
It’s still very powerful to cultivate immortals.
Half an hour passed before Chen Li left.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the secret book on the table and fell into thought.
Will this secret book be poisonous?
...
Spring and autumn come. After Chen Li left, several months passed, and the leaves on Longqi Temple gradually turned yellow. Jiang Changsheng's life returned to the past. The disciples were no longer curious about him. Qingku, the junior brother of the same family, rarely disturbed him, because Qingku was also intoxicated in martial arts and could not extricate himself.
When it comes to changes, the biggest change is that Jiang Changsheng can practice martial arts openly in the daytime. His true energy has been growing and he has initially mastered the Vajra Soar. As for the Qi finger, he has not yet practiced it.
He wanted to fully master the Vajra Soar first, and then practice Qi fingers.
Chen Li never came again, and after the murder, Taoist Master Qingxu had never seen Jiang Changsheng alone.
This day.
Jiang Changsheng finally reached the third level of Taoist natural ritual, and his senses were greatly improved. He could even hear the sounds of mosquitoes a hundred feet away, and even the breathings of other disciples could be clearly heard. This feeling was extremely wonderful.
His true qi has not improved, but he obviously feels that the true qi is changing slightly, perhaps in a trend towards spiritual power.
Several hours later, he came to the courtyard. Before his disciples returned to the courtyard, they were still listening to the Taoist temple. He began to practice the Vajra roar.
When practicing Vajra roar, there is no need to let go of your throat, you just need to open up the hidden meridians in the throat. When the true qi resonates, he can judge the power of the roar. In the past, the invisible meridians were difficult to activate. After the skill breakthrough, he found that the process of invisible qi pouring into the invisible meridians became smooth, and there was no previous pain.
Jiang Changsheng was very happy. Sure enough, martial arts are the foundation, and most of the time he will still spend on martial arts in the future.
In the evening, Qingkuo returned to the house.
"Senior brother, the second brother is planning to take fifteen disciples down the mountain to experience the training. I specially asked me to ask you, are you willing to go?" Qingku asked excitedly.
Almost all these disciples are orphans, and every time they experience, they will bring back a group of new disciples.
After going up the mountain, Qing Ku had not yet gone down the mountain, and was curious about everything at the foot of the mountain. I heard the guests say that now the prosperous age is coming, and there is no war in the world.
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, "I won't go."
Qingku advised him a few more words, but he just didn't go, so Qingku had to give up.
Go down the mountain?
impossible!
Unless his own martial arts power is invincible, Jiang Changsheng will not be able to go down the mountain. Long Qiguan is in the capital, and the powerful people who spy on him must still be staring at him.
After all, if his identity is exposed, he will be cut off his head. The real dragon is furious and no matter how big the official is, he will be dismissed.
Over the years, the emperor has cleared the factions and countless heroes have died in the court.
On the morning of the next day, the second senior brother Meng Qiuhe took a group of disciples down the mountain, including Qingku. Jiang Changsheng did not go to see him farewell, but practiced in front of the Taoist bell tower towards Jiaoyang.
Until night, Jiang Changsheng was about to get up.
[In the 12th year of Kaiyuan, the spy persuaded the second senior brother to lead you down the mountain, but you refused, thus avoiding a murder and getting a survival reward - the miscellaneous technique ‘Alchemy’]
Seeing this prompt, Jiang Changsheng was stunned and almost spit out a swear word.
spy?
Is there any spy in Longqi Temple?
First, the second senior brother Meng Qiuhe was ruled out. When he was two years old, he was almost killed by his martial arts elder brother. Meng Qiuhe saved him, and this time Meng Qiuhe was persuaded.
etc!
Could it be the eldest brother?
When I was two years old, I was not a mistake, but intentional?
Jiang Changsheng began to think about whoever looked at him in his usual eyes was wrong, and who could even be suspected by Qingku.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't understand.
However, it is certain that there is danger when going down the mountain. In the Taoist temple, as long as Taoist Master Qingxu is still there, the traitor dare not act recklessly.
What Jiang Changsheng has to do now is to grow hard and hide his strength.
In the last murder case, he only showed his talent for martial arts and attracted spies to act. The Divine Shadow Leg, Vajra Soar, and Taoist Natural Kung Fu will never be displayed.
Fortunately, he rarely shows off on weekdays.
Jiang Changsheng stood up and walked towards his courtyard. The disciples along the way greeted him. He responded with a smile, and then silently made a judgment.
He refused to go down the mountain, and the spy should still be on the mountain.
All these people are possible!
...
The autumn leaves in the Dragon Qi Temple are covered with snow. After nearly a hundred reincarnations of the sun and the moon, the snow melts and the New Year is coming.
In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, Jiang Changsheng was thirteen years old.
This year, the emperor was crazy about gaining and losing his mind, and began to pursue immortal arts, recruiting talented people from all over the world to refine elixirs for him.
"There are no immortals in this world. Those evil spirits are just transformed by monsters. Your Majesty ignores the government for the sake of immortal arts. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is born intelligent and familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and has begun to help deal with some political affairs."
Chen Li sighed with emotion, and he was full of appreciation for the prince in his words.
Jiang Changsheng's face did not change, but he felt a little unhappy.
He can take power at the age of thirteen, and this little bastard is a bit capable.
Jiang Changsheng asked curiously: "Is Your Highness so outstanding? Can you tell me about him?"
Chen Li smiled and said, "Of course, it's okay. His Highness the Crown Prince is also a tragic fate. Before he was born, he was named the crown prince. Before he was born, he was the crown prince. Throughout history, this is the only one. However, after the Empress gave birth to the crown prince, she became seriously ill and fell into a coma for several months before waking up. After waking up, she lost her mind. He said that His Highness the Crown Prince is not her son, without the care of her mother, and other princes were born. His Highness the Crown Prince has experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature in the palace. Even His Majesty has treated him coldly. Fortunately, he is talented and intelligent, knows thousands of words at the age of three, and can write poems at the age of five, and has won the favor of His Majesty."
Hearing this, Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but think of his mother in this life. In the womb, he often heard his mother talking to himself, saying that he would be good to himself in the future, and complain about how reckless the emperor was acting.
He felt a little sad.
It turns out that in this world, there are other people talking about him.
Jiang Changsheng asked curiously: "What is the Queen now? She is still the Queen?"
Chen Li glared at him and said, "That's natural. How loving Your Majesty is with the Empress. It's pitiful. Now the Empress has recovered her health and her relationship with the Prince has also been restored. The country is prosperous and the people are safe and prosperous. There is a contribution from the Empress."
Jiang Changsheng was speechless and felt a little relieved.
No matter what, she was at least living a good life.
