Chapter 17: Everything is chaotic, and no one disturbs himself
Jiang Sheng himself has a very good temperament, and his bones are even rarer. He has never encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation.
This is also the reason why Jiang Sheng likes to be quiet and does not want to be disturbed by outside objects.
As long as there is no external interference, it will be a matter of course for Jiang Sheng to continue practicing like this until he has accumulated enough money in the later stages of foundation building, and then penetrates the spine of the dragon to open up the Zifu.
In addition, Jiang Sheng's temperament was somewhat cold, neither sad nor happy, and he looked down upon the secular world, so he preferred a life of practicing alone.
Unfortunately, the Daozong elders also saw through Jiang Sheng's character and told Jiang Sheng that if he did not experience the training of the world of mortals and just immersed himself in hard training, had never experienced the seven emotions and six desires, and had never seen all kinds of things in the world, no matter how supremely forgetful his mood would be, he would not be perfect after all.
If there is a gap in the state of mind, starting from Zifu, every major realm in the future will be easily invaded by inner demons.
Whether it is pill formation, Yuanying, or god transformation, it must be extremely dangerous. It is easy to lose oneself and become a puppet of the inner demon or a madman.
So the elder asked Jiang Sheng to gain more experience in the world of mortals.
However, along the way, the quiet temperament still made Jiang Sheng choose to establish a dojo in the deep mountains of Qingping Mountain, intending to continue his spiritual practice and ignore foreign affairs in the world of mortals.
Unfortunately, the days of Qingxiu are always difficult to maintain.
Jiang Sheng felt that after entering the world, all kinds of mundane things in the world were disturbing him, making it difficult for him to be pure and peaceful.
Just after completing a cycle, a bird landed in front of Jiang Sheng, jumping and chirping, as if it was telling something.
Jiang Sheng, who was practicing, listened to Luo Que's story. When Luo Que finished speaking, he took out a gray elixir from his sleeve, scratched some scraps with his nails and fed it to Luo Que.
The bird happily pecked at the pill fragments, looking very energetic.
But Jiang Sheng sighed: "Why is it so difficult to practice pure cultivation? Maybe the elder asked me to join the world to practice and gain experience."
As he said that, Jiang Sheng looked at the person who was still there. Tian Ming'an, who was working hard to clear the snow, called softly:
"Don't worry about the falling snow. Guests are coming. Go and wait at the door."
"Director Jiang, Zhang is not invited. "Come on, sorry for bothering you."
Zhang Qingyun smiled and saluted, and then looked at Tian Ming'an who was waiting: "The Taoist Master is worthy of being a god. He knew that Zhang was coming and specially asked his disciple to be there." Welcome at the door.”
Jiang Sheng looked indifferent: "The disciple the county magistrate said is wrong. He is just a naughty boy who came to the temple to help."
Tian Ming'an looked at his eyes, nose, and heart, as if he was not the one he was talking about. .
Zhang Qingyun is really surprised. At such a young age, this boy can have such a calm mind. He is really a good prospect.
Even if you cannot practice cultivation in the future, you will definitely achieve something if you become an official.
In the front hall again, Zhang Qingyun respectfully offered incense to the portrait before saluting Jiang Sheng.
"The Taoist priest secludes himself in the mountains to practice and does not care about worldly affairs. It is really enviable to have such a leisurely life."
"To come here uninvited is like being a bad guest and disturbing the Taoist priest's life." Qing Xiu, Zhang is feeling uneasy."
Jiang Sheng looked calm, sitting cross-legged on the futon, neither sad nor happy: "If the county magistrate really felt guilty, why would he come up to the mountain?"
Zhang Qingyun sighed helplessly: "Taoist priest, if there is really a way, why would Zhang go up the mountain in the snow?"
"Taoist priest knows that there have been more than ten incidents in the county. The murders are all caused by evil cultivators who secretly take lives and practice evil practices, which has caused panic in Qingshan County."
Jiang Sheng's eyes were slightly closed, indifferent.
Seeing that Jiang Sheng was unmoved, Zhang Qingyun continued: "I originally thought it was just an evil cultivator who came here by chance, but so many murders occurred in a short period of time, which is enough to show that it is not just a few evil cultivators. What he did. This matter is definitely related to the demon in Taiping River!"
"At first, Zhang didn't want to trouble the Taoist priest anymore, so he offered a reward to the local cultivators to help the Yamen handle the case, and even Fairy Xu Xiao. He and several other foundation builders in the city took action one after another."
As he spoke, Zhang Qingyun slapped his thigh unwillingly: "Unfortunately, there was not much success, and some casual cultivators were even infected by those evil spirits. Xiu’s tricks injured several people.”
“If there was no other way, Zhang really didn’t want to trouble the Taoist. But now, the only thing left is to ask the Taoist to help.”
Zhang Qingyun once again bowed deeply.
After a long while, Jiang Sheng slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, when you sent me the red fruit gift to invite the poor Taoist to come out, it was for the demons of the Taiping River, not for the evil cultivators in Qingshan County."
"The cause of what is happening now lies with you, not Pindao. Is there anything wrong with what Pindao said about this matter?"
Zhang Qingyun nodded, his voice a little dull: " What the Taoist Master said is true. If Zhang Guang hadn't invited the heroes of Qingzhou to help, he wouldn't have been able to disturb the demon, let alone lead to so many evil cultivators. "
"But, if it hadn't been for Guang. And tell me, how can dozens of heroes gather in this small Qingshan County? As long as Qingshan County wants to kill the demons, trouble will inevitably arise among the demons in the river."
"These incidents are just labor pains. As long as the demon in the river is removed, these evil cultivators will disperse, and Qingshan County will be completely peaceful."
Jiang Sheng slightly chinned his head, his eyelids drooped, his crown There was no trace of any emotion on the jade-like face, as if he were truly made of jade, with no pity at all.
Zhang Qingyun said with some hope: "Taoist Priest, can you go down the mountain to get rid of those evil cultivators for the people of Qingshan County?"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and just sipped the tea slowly.
Zhang Qingyun looked a little unwilling: "The Taoist priest really can't pity the innocent people of Qingshan County?"
"Ha." Jiang Sheng chuckled and finally opened his eyes.
“The county magistrate has now forgotten the promise he made to Pindao?”
Zhang Qingyun didn’t even dare.
Jiang Sheng continued: "That's all, if I don't tell you some truth today, the county magistrate may not be convinced."
As he spoke, Jiang Sheng straightened up, turned around and looked at the falling snow on the mountains, his expression indifferent and cold.
“The county magistrate really doesn’t understand that the chaos in front of him is just a means for the Taiping River demon to test Qingshan County?”
“Of course Pindao can take action, not only Pindao can take action, but also Even Fellow Daoist Qiao, Fellow Daoist Wen, and Young Master Kong can take action."
"But as soon as I take action, all my cultivation and methods will be known to the demon. By then, the demon will be on guard. Is there any surprise attack left?”
“Now that several fellow Taoists are not in Qingshan County, aren’t they just hiding their plans?”
Zhang Qingyun was stunned and opened his mouth: "But."
Jiang Sheng continued: "If the county magistrate only wants to solve the trouble at hand and does not deal with the demon in the Taiping River, Pindao can go down the mountain now. I guarantee that all those monsters in Qingshan County will be eliminated within three to five days."
"By then, Pindao will not be involved in the matter of slaying demons in Taiping River."
"In this case. "Are you willing?"
Zhang Qingyun wanted to continue to persuade, but Jiang Sheng had already raised his hand to say goodbye: "I am not only thinking about the chaos caused by the evil cultivators in front of me, but also thinking about the demon eradication in the Taiping River in the future. I will give in to all good things." The county has taken possession of it, how can this be the case in the world?”
"I need to practice my swordsmanship in Guan Zhongqing during these days. County Lord, please come back."
Zhang Qingyun finally suppressed his original words and stood up in embarrassment: "Then Zhang will leave. It’s true that I disturbed Taoist Master Qing Xiu.”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qingyun couldn’t help but hurried away in embarrassment.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Zhang Qingyun who was leaving, and refilled a cup of tea for himself: "You have been waiting outside for so long, can you still hold on?"
Standing Tian Ming'an outside the door trembled and said quickly: "Reply to the Taoist priest, the boy is okay."
"Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up and continue doing your thing." Jiang Sheng said and got up and returned to the front hall to continue practicing.
Tian Ming'an looked at Jiang Sheng's retreating figure, then at the cup of tea on the table in the room, and quickly went into the room and drank the cup of hot tea in one gulp.
As the hot tea enters the stomach, warmth begins to spread from the stomach to the whole body. The hands and feet that were almost numb from the cold outside regain their temperature.
The original feeling of hunger in the abdomen has disappeared, and there is even a faint sense of energy lingering in the lower abdomen. Unfortunately, the sense of energy has been lost in a moment.
Even so, Tian Ming'an was still very excited. He quickly bowed to the front hall and then continued to clear the snow.
Jiang Sheng, who had returned to the front hall at this time, looked at the tall portrait of the founder of the Penglai Kai Sect. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Am I wrong?"
"But the life and death of others has nothing to do with me. What are you doing?"
Although he said this, Jiang Sheng still couldn't forget that he was actually just an ordinary creature. He was abandoned in the river when he was still waiting for food and almost drowned.
It was an inner disciple of Dao Sect who accidentally discovered him when he was traveling.
The inner disciple was already very old at that time. Seeing Jiang Sheng floating in the water, he felt kind-hearted, so he took him back to Penglai and raised him.
These memories were very clear in Jiang Sheng's mind. He had followed the old man since he was a child, watching him practice, practice, and gain enlightenment.
When Jiang Sheng was eight years old, he officially entered Penglai.
Four years of studying literature, six years of practicing Qi, and ten years of time to finally build the foundation of Heavenly Dao. Many elders in the sect recognized his talent and considered him to be the true seed of the future.
Everything is because of the kind heart of the old man, otherwise Jiang would not be alive today.
What's more, even if the old man brought him back to the sect, he did not abandon him. Instead, he took good care of him and taught him through words and deeds, hoping that Jiang Sheng could be like him.
It's a pity that Jiang Sheng was born with a cold temperament and could not be as compassionate as the old man.
In Jiang Sheng's understanding, the sect is undoubtedly the number one. The brothers, sisters, and sisters in the sect are just a family. As long as Penglai is not involved, he doesn't care about the life or death of outsiders at all.
The complicated emotions in his heart were chopped into pieces by Jiang Sheng in the blink of an eye.
Squinting at the snow-covered mountains outside the Taoist temple, Jiang Sheng said softly: "Look at the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, and let the clouds roll and relax in the sky."
"Evil What does practicing chaos have to do with poverty? ”
"It's a pity that there are so many mediocre people in this world that we can't cut off the connections in the world of mortals."
"What a pity, what a pity."
Jiang Sheng said, turned around and continued to sit cross-legged in front of the portrait of the ancestor and began to practice. , his eyes were slightly closed, and his eyes were calm.
