Chapter 103: Several Years of Spring and Autumn Period, Late Period of Zi Mansion (4,000 words)
“Master, the fool you are talking about is Uncle Lin Fan?”
“In addition to him, there are other people Who? "
Jiang Sheng sighed, looking quite helpless.
Tian Ming'an was a little at a loss. He didn't know what happened, let alone why his always calm and gentle master was acting like this.
Jiang Sheng smiled and motioned for Tian Mingan to sit down.
Pouring Tian Ming'an a cup of tea, Jiang Sheng said slowly: "Your uncle's disaster has come."
"With his temperament, he will definitely have to force his way through."< br>
"But this test is difficult for him. Ten deaths are not counted, but there are still nine deaths."
Tian Ming'an asked cautiously: "Master, are you going to help?" Master Lin Fan?”
Jiang Sheng shook his head: "I am not stupid, how can I accompany him to death?"
"Not to mention, this is his disaster, he needs to get through it alone."
Seeing that Tian Ming'an was a little confused, Jiang Sheng explained: "Your uncle's temperament is different from that of my teacher. He has his own fate."
"My uncle's temperament is aloof, and he has a long-lasting love for his children. I am not passionate about things."
"So I am devoted to the Tao and have no mercy."
"As for your Uncle Lin, he has a cheerful temperament and a heroic spirit. It is his nature to love men and women. It is inevitable for him to wander around the world."
"According to his temperament, this matter is just a matter of unease. . ”
“But after passing through this barrier, he breaks through the barrier and breaks out of the cocoon. In the future, when he reaches the later stage of Zifu, he can blend the yin and yang, gather the dragon and tiger, and then condense the jade liquid. "
"It is difficult for outsiders to help at this critical point."
"Master." Tian Ming'an could feel that Jiang Sheng was not stable in his heart.
Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "It's okay. He made his choice, and I can't stop him." "Jie, disturbed his Taoist mind."
Tian Ming'an nodded and retreated to practice.
Jiang Changchang sighed, but calmly began his practice.
“Should I help him?”
"Helping him is just a way to die."
"We have known each other since childhood and have been together for thirty years. We have always been in the same boat and share weal and woe. How can we just sit idly by and ignore him?"
"That's right. What does Lin Yunxuan’s love crisis have to do with me, Jiang Yuanchen?”
“He is him, and I am me. He has to overcome his difficulties, and I also have my own practice, and I have understood my nature. To gain enlightenment, you only need to practice step by step. After ten years of entering the late stage of the Purple Mansion, and ten years of recuperating your energy and spirit, you will be able to refine the top-grade golden elixir!"
"I will avenge him then! ”
"Yes, as long as I follow the steps, I can become the true successor of Taoism. Why disturb my Taoist heart for Lin Yunxuan?"
"But if Lin Yunxuan dies, you, Jiang Yuanchen, can really continue to practice with peace of mind, you really With a clear conscience?"
All kinds of thoughts arise for no reason and continue to grow in Jiang Sheng's heart.
In Jiang Sheng’s sea of consciousness, the side of the Taoist sitting cross-legged between the water and the sky was full of chaotic shadows, constantly bewildered.
Sometimes there was a loud sound, sometimes there was screams and wails, and there were several figures surrounding the Taoist, constantly whispering.
"Hmph!"
A soft hum, accompanied by the sound of swords and cranes chirping.
In the sea of consciousness, there was only a sword chant resounding, and it seemed invisible that a green blade was unsheathed. The bright sword light shot straight into the sky, and the shadow of the sword was shocking, reaching the sky and the earth.
“Ah!”
The panicked voice kept sounding, and the light of the sword shone in all directions, clearing away the gloom. It seemed that someone’s eyes were hurt by the sword light, and someone was stabbed by the sword’s intention. It breaks my heart.
For a time, the demons dispersed and the world became clear.
“A mere heretic evil demon is still trying to disturb my practice.”
The little Taoist in the sea of consciousness is still sitting cross-legged between the water and the sky, surrounded by a green blade The Taoist keeps circling.
The next day, Tian Ming'an found Jiang Sheng standing outside the Taoist temple, quietly looking at the stream surrounding the Taoist temple.
This stream was opened by Jiang Sheng with his sword and filled with spring water from the Tiansheng Water Channel.
It surrounds the Taoist temple and winds down, leading directly to Qingping Town.
The gurgling stream is crystal clear, and occasionally a few fallen leaves fall on the water and flow down.
In the stream, there were a few small fish swimming erratically.
"Master?"
Seeing that Tian Ming'an was here, Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Come here, let's take a look together."
Tian Ming'an didn't know why, so he stepped forward and took a look, and saw a few small fish swimming happily in the water. A fallen leaf floated over, causing them to scatter in all directions. When the fallen leaf drifted away, they suddenly gathered together again, and again Surrounded into one piece.
"Ming'an, you said that this fish was born in the stream, trapped in a small space, and played all day long. Is it happy or unhappy?" Jiang Sheng asked.
Tian Ming'an thought carefully, and then said: "Master, I think the fish is happy."
"Why?" Jiang Sheng asked again.
Tian Ming'an said: "This stream is their world. From our perspective, they are trapped in a small space, but why is that not their world? They are carefree, why are they not happy? ?”
"You are not a fish, how do you know that fish are happy?" Jiang Sheng asked with a smile.
Tian Ming'an was stunned and said: "But Master is not a fish. Why does Master think fish are unhappy?"
Jiang Sheng laughed: "Yes, yes."
"Ming'an, you have your own ideas."
"Ming'an, my teacher will teach you one more thing today, all living things have their own methods. We practice in this way. Original intention.”
"What is the heart? Taoist mind, spiritual consciousness, ideas, and will are all transformed by your own mind. Ming'an, you need to wipe your mind diligently."
After saying that, Jiang Sheng returned with a smile. In the Taoist temple, Tian Ming'an was left stunned in place, staring at the fish swimming in the water.
Qingxuan Temple did not disturb the tranquility just because of Lin Fan's appearance.
Two hundred miles away, Qingping Mountain is still peaceful. Tian Ming'an recites his homework every day, and from time to time the little fox Bai Ying comes to play with Tian Ming'an.
Jiang Sheng didn’t care about this either.
The days passed like this little by little, and finally at the end of the year, news came.
In Qingxuan Temple, Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao sat at separate seats.
Cooking tea, tasting tea and playing chess.
On the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces are intertwined and entangled.
After dropping the white piece, Xu Xiao said: "A big event happened over there in Wei State."
"Oh? What's the big deal?" Jiang Sheng's expression was quite indifferent, and he cut off Xu Xiao's dragon with a single move.
"Princess Zhaoping of Wei State was kidnapped when she married into the Wei family." Xu Xiao said, and played another piece, connecting the white chess pieces together again.
Jiang Sheng frowned slightly, not knowing whether he was watching the chess game or thinking about it: "It's really interesting to be kidnapped."
"Who says it's not the case? This matter made Emperor Wei quite angry. Out of anger, he sent out a sea arrest document to search for the thief," Xu Xiao said.
"Then this marriage is so dirty?" Jiang Sheng asked.
Xu Xiao shook his head: "No, Emperor Wei married Princess Zhaoning to the Wei family."
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "What a farce."
"That's true." Xu Xiao agreed.
The two of them continued to play chess and sip tea without saying anything more.
After the game of chess, Xu Xiao said: "A few years ago, did the Taoist priest know about Zheng Guo's grand martial arts performance?"
Jiang Sheng nodded.
Xu Xiao continued: "The grand martial arts performance was extremely popular. The three kingdoms of Zheng, Lu and Chu performed martial arts, and many geniuses appeared."
"Now the Emperor of Qi also wants to hold one. A martial arts meeting. "Why do you want to learn from Zheng Guo?" Jiang Sheng asked.
"Who knows, maybe seeing Emperor Zheng invite distinguished guests from the East China Sea and inviting Lu and Chu to be his companions, Zheng's reputation will increase greatly." Xu Xiao said.
"So Emperor Qi also wants to do some sort of Three Kingdoms martial arts show?" Jiang Sheng said with a smile.
Xu Xiao was noncommittal: "That's what I mean, saying that we are going to have a four-nation martial arts performance with Wei, Yan, and Zhao."
Jiang Sheng chuckled: "Four-nations martial arts performance? What is it? Martial arts or alliance? "
"This time I came to ask the Taoist leader what he wanted."
Jiang Sheng understood.
If Qi State were to hold a martial arts performance, then each sect and sect would definitely send their own disciples.
In the entire Qi Kingdom, who else in the Purple Mansion can compare with Jiang Sheng?
If Jiang Sheng is willing to come forward on behalf of Lan Yue Sect or Qingzhou, he will definitely win.
Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "Pindao doesn't care about these things. Qingping Mountain is very good. No matter whether Emperor Qi wants to do some kind of Three Kingdoms martial arts show or a four-nation alliance, it has nothing to do with Pindao."
"I will convey the Taoist Master's wishes to the sect leader after I return." Xu Xiao was not surprised.
Jiang Sheng's cold temperament never liked excitement.
If he really rushed to join in the martial arts competition after hearing about it, then he is not Jiang Sheng.
After sending Xu Xiao away, Jiang Sheng counted with his fingers and finally felt that Lin Fan's matter seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog and he couldn't figure it out clearly.
This matter seems to be in a hurry, but it always feels like it starts and ends, as if there is some unknown game behind it.
I don’t know if there is a problem with the Mu family of the Wei royal family, or if there is a disagreement among the Wei family of the Wei family.
Whether it is conspiracy, calculation, or deliberate planning, it has nothing to do with Jiang Sheng.
He was kidnapped and Lin Fan is still alive, so there is no need to worry about anything else.
Lin Fan himself must not be aware of the key points.
"Lin Yunxuan, the things you deposited with me are going to be taken back before they are warmed up."
Jiang Sheng smiled and flew up into the clouds with a flick of his sleeves.
On the top of Qingping Mountain, above the sea of clouds, Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath.
The wind and clouds around me were surging, like ripples on water.
Being among the clouds and mist, it seems as if you are in harmony with nature, and Jiang Sheng is in the dark, and it feels like a little spiritual light has entered your arms.
As the water circulates in the heavens and the earth, wind and water gradually begin to rise.
When the spiritual light dissipated, Jiang Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the surging sea of clouds around him, which seemed to be a stormy sea, dense and misty, evolving into everything.
"If you can't make a golden elixir, you will be no more than an ant in the end. It's hard to reach the sky, so you have to drift with the tide."
"It's time to retreat again."
After enlightenment, Jiang Sheng returned. Taoist temple.
"Ming'an."
"My disciple is here, what are your instructions, Master."
Looking at the well-behaved disciple in front of him, Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "I have feelings for the master and I want to go into seclusion to practice."
"If your uncle Lin comes, let him come to the main hall to pay homage to the portrait of the ancestor." ."
"When others come, just send them away."
Tian Ming'an nodded: "I understand."
Jiang Sheng stretched his lower body. Zi: "This retreat will not come out until the later stage of Zifu."
"You should practice well. Master, I hope that when you come out, I can see you practicing the ninth level of Qi."
Tian Ming'an said: "Disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations."
"Also Don't be impatient, cultivation is a personal matter, you just need to practice well and never let yourself down," Jiang Sheng warned.
Practice is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If you practice recklessly in a hurry, it will be easy for you to become possessed.
After warning Tian Ming'an, Jiang Sheng entered the back hall, sealed the door, and began to practice in seclusion.
Jiang Sheng stayed in seclusion and did not care about worldly affairs, but the situation outside Qingping Mountain was constantly changing.
Influenced by Zheng Guo's alliance with Lu and Chu to hold the Three Kingdoms Military Exercise, which greatly increased his prestige, Emperor Qi finally couldn't hold back and intended to form an alliance with Wei, Zhao, and Yan.
This matter caused a great deal of momentum for a while, but in the end, for some reason, it was left undisturbed.
The Four National Congresses did not take place, but there was only a martial arts contest between the monks of the two countries between Wei and Qi.
All the Jindan sects in every state in Qi State participated and sent their most popular disciples to fight to make themselves proud.
The three major sects in Qingzhou also sent people to Qingping Mountain to inquire about Jiang Sheng's intentions. After learning that Jiang Sheng was practicing in seclusion, they did not bother him again.
Time flies by, and before we know it, another three years have passed.
Lin Fan did come to Qingping Mountain.
After learning that Jiang Sheng had gone into seclusion, Lin Fan went to the main hall to worship the portrait of the Patriarch without disturbing him, and then left with a smile.
Tian Ming'an always felt that there seemed to be some tacit understanding between his master and his uncle Lin Fan.
After Lin Fan left, he soon disappeared.
The Wei State's high-profile pursuit of the bride-stealing thieves seemed to be a bluff, with not many substantive actions.
It seems that the Wei royal family and the Wei family are very angry about this matter, but they are clearly trying to hunt him down with great fanfare, but they just can't catch him.
I don’t know if I’m really trying my best, or if I’m just pretending.
During these days, several groups of robbery cultivators began to wreak havoc in Qingzhou, and some rogue cultivators began to become famous.
Whether it is the Jie Cultivator massacring the cultivating family, or the Rogue Cultivator killing the big demon, or winning the battle and becoming famous in Qingzhou, it has nothing to do with Qingping Mountain or Qingxuan Temple.
The outside world is turbulent, but Qingping Mountain has always remained quiet.
Jiang Sheng was never seen in Qingxuan Temple. Tian Mingan practiced by himself and occasionally played with the little fox, which was quite comfortable.
Unknowingly, Tian Ming'an's cultivation level has been steadily increasing year by year.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, frost, snow and rain.
Tian Ming'an practiced day after day, improving his cultivation step by step.
He did not blindly practice in seclusion, starting from the third level of Qi training, to the fifth level of Qi training, and then to the seventh level of Qi training.
Tian Ming'an worked steadily all the way, making steady progress and solidly establishing a solid foundation.
At this moment, Tian Ming'an has reached the eighth level of Qi training, and he has accumulated more than seventy strands of spiritual energy in his Dantian.
As long as he accumulates eighty-one strands of spiritual energy, Tian Ming'an can reach the ninth level of Qi training, thereby refining his own spiritual energy, looking for Tiangang and Earthly Demons, and building the foundation of his own great path.
Tian Ming'an is constantly polishing his aura and consolidating his foundation.
And Jiang Sheng is also improving his cultivation bit by bit.
The pure spiritual power in the body increased little by little, and the spiritual liquid in the Dantian became more and more solid, with a faint luster, like a pool of nectar.
As another drop of extremely pure spiritual liquid fell from the Zi Mansion into the dantian, the pool of spiritual liquid in the dantian could not help but ripple.
Jiang Sheng's breath suddenly became extremely long, and silently, his spirituality broke through a layer of hazy fog.
In the later period of Zifu, things will fall into place.
Don’t worry, I won’t write any cliche plot.
Jiang Sheng is not a firefighter either.
In this book, Lin Fan is a main supporting role set by me, so he will have more roles, but he will not dominate the scene.
The plot of the previous chapter is actually an introduction. Many things have been dug in advance.
Everyone can guess when this plot will be completed.
Let me give you a little hint. I mentioned it in the previous article, so I laid out the plot of the previous chapter.
