"It has nothing to do with Penglai."
These four simple words represent the attitude that Penglai has always pursued: inaction.
Jiang Sheng’s words undoubtedly showed his attitude.
Zhu Jiu is a smart person. He quickly changed the topic after hearing what Jiang Sheng meant.
“It is said that the south is not as lush as the Central Plains, but the scenery in the south is not inferior to the Central Plains.”
"Spring is waning all over the country, and the mist and rain are gurgling. Take our Ming Dynasty as an example, this Huainan scenery is one of a kind."
Knowing that Zhu Jiu was changing the subject, Jiang Sheng also smiled and said: "Oh? Then Is there anything better than Huainan in this southern place?"
Zhu Jiu said seriously: "Of course there is! In the whole south, if it is said to be the most beautiful place, it is South Vietnam."
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "South Vietnam?"
In Penglai's intelligence, South Vietnam was introduced.
South Vietnam is a large country in the south of the Eastern Continent, known as Baiyue. The country has many mountains and rivers, and its people are strong and martial arts have been practiced for generations.
The most famous person in Nanyue Kingdom is the true king of the side sect in the country.
Yes, there is a side sect true king in the Nanyue Kingdom. He is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Nanyue Kingdom and lives in the Danying Cave in Nanyue.
He is respected as True Monarch Danxia.
Danxia Zhenjun is good at fire and elixir methods. He is kind-hearted by nature and rarely interacts with others.
In addition, he has lived in seclusion all year round, so his reputation on the Eastern Continent is not prominent.
But no matter how seclusive he is, it cannot change the fact that he is the true king of the side sect of the upper three realms.
What is Zhu Jiu’s intention when he mentions the South Vietnam Kingdom at this time?
But Zhu Jiu's expression was full of longing: "The south is better, the seasons are like spring, the scenery is pleasant, the inspiration is abundant, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful."
"I often hear that the Nanyue country has a kind heart. Compassion, when it broke through the upper three realms, had great ambitions, and held Dharma meetings every three hundred and sixty years to preach and perform Dharma for the creatures in the middle three realms, pointing out the way forward. "
"In another ten years or so, it will be that person's Dharma conference. It is said that this will be the last Dharma conference held by that person before ten thousand years of calamity."
"If we hadn't carried the burden of the Ming Dynasty on our shoulders, , all want to go to the Dharma conference to have a look."
Zhenjun Danxia attained the upper three realms more than 3,900 years ago, and holds Dharma conferences every 360 years, inviting the south to The geniuses participated.
Every time there is a Dharma gathering, this true king will prepare a fortune, prepare rewards, and then let the talents from all walks of life compete to win seats.
For each seat, there will be corresponding rewards, usually mainly the heavenly materials, earthly treasures and treasure pills of the third middle realm; and the first place in each Dharma assembly will be awarded to the true king. reward.
Either it is the remains of stars picked from the sky, or it is the energy of stars that has been condensed conveniently, or the essence of the sun and the moon. The value of the lottery for this top spot will be a little higher than that of the God Transformation Realm.
Jiang Sheng calculated that in fourteen years, it will be the Dharma Assembly of this true king.
If Zhu Jiu hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Sheng, who had been focusing on the Tang Dynasty before, would have really forgotten about it.
But now that Zhu Jiu mentioned it, Jiang Sheng naturally wanted to take a look.
What's more, Jiang Sheng still has the remaining power of the Shinto in his body that needs to be refined and consumed. This will take him at least ten years of hard work.
But in fact, refining and consuming these divine powers is also a practice for Jiang Sheng.
After spending ten years practicing and passing away, I went to see the Dharma Assembly of Lord Danxia. The time was just right.
Seeing Jiang Sheng lost in thought, Zhu Jiu suddenly said: "If the Taoist Master wants to go to South Vietnam, we can send someone to guide the Taoist Master."
Jiang Sheng looked at Zhu Jiu, His expression was very indifferent: "King Ming first mentioned the scenery in the south, and then brought up True Lord Danxia, and now he wants to send someone to guide the way." , trying every possible means to get Pindao to go, what do you want?”
Zhu Jiu was a little embarrassed: "The Taoist Master has seen it, so we won't hide it."
"We are trapped in the Ming Dynasty, and our future is destined to be hopeless in this life, but our son cannot remain trapped in the Ming Dynasty." "
"If the Taoist priest goes to the Liuhua Dharma Assembly of True Monarch Danxia, I hope the Taoist priest will take our son to see it and let him see the vastness of the world. Look at the heroes in this world."
Looking at Zhu Jiu with a sincere face, Jiang Sheng's expression was as calm as water, without any disturbance.
Is it really because of this that Zhu Jiu asked Jiang Sheng to take his son out for a long experience?
After all, the Ming Kingdom has annexed seven or eight countries, and its strength in the entire south is not weak. If the prince of the Ming Kingdom really wants to go out to practice, Jiang Sheng does not believe that the Ming Kingdom cannot produce one or two golden elixirs.
Zhu Jiu meant to hand over his son to Jiang Sheng as a proton to show his sincerity.
This is not a special case. In the past, when the Tang Dynasty did not have the eating phase as it is today, all the surrounding small countries did not send their princes to Chang'an to pay tribute, and then stayed in Chang'an as hostages.
It is even said that if Penglai is willing to accept the protons, these small and aristocratic families are eager to send all their children to Penglai to learn the orthodox magic of Taoism.
It is a pity that Penglai is not interested in these small countries.
Zhu Jiu's idea is very clear. On the one hand, he shows his integrity, and in the future he will change Buddhism to Taoism and practice Taoist dharma throughout the country.
On the other hand, if Zhu Jiu's son follows Jiang Sheng, even if he can't learn anything, he will still have some connections during the time back and forth, which is undoubtedly crucial to the Ming Dynasty. .
And what if Jiang Sheng is willing to accept a disciple?
Jiang Sheng knew these methods very well: when he accepted the boy Tian Ming'an, it was Tian Guofu who eagerly came up to him, and then took the boy with him to study. After getting familiar with him, he half-promoted and half-promoted him. Apprentice?
"King Ming has a good plan. To be honest, Pindao is indeed somewhat interested in the Liuhua Dharma Assembly."
"But Pindao has gained some new feelings recently and is about to practice in seclusion."
"If Pindao happens to catch up with the Liuhua Dharma Assembly when he comes out of seclusion, take him along. If he can't catch up, it means he has no chance. "It's divided."
Hearing Jiang Sheng's reply, Zhu Jiu smiled and said: "If the Taoist priest wants to practice in seclusion, we can make Qixia Mountain available for the Taoist priest to practice and perform." ”
Qixia Mountain, the first spiritual peak in the Ming Dynasty, is a fifth-level low-grade spiritual vein. It is filled with red maples, fountains and waterfalls, which is so beautiful.
This Lingfeng has always been Zhu Jiu's place of cultivation. Now that Zhu Jiu is willing to take out Qixia Mountain, it shows Zhu Jiu's sincerity.
"The poor Taoist promised in advance that the poor Taoist will not accept disciples."
"It doesn't matter, the Taoist priest only needs to take him along for a while."
Jiang Sheng looked at Zhu with a profound look. Jiu Jiu: "In this case, that poor Taoist would like to thank King Ming for his kindness."
The next day, in the court hall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jiu announced that he would change the state religion to Taoism, and at the same time abandon Mingjiao throughout the country and abandon everything about Mingjiao. Dharma instrument Buddha statue.
If something is done, it must be done.
Zhu Jiu was extremely decisive in his actions, and no one in the court objected.
Ever since Master Juekong of Mingwang Temple disappeared, and then the mages in Mingwang Temple disappeared one by one, they knew that something was going to happen.
Now that it is time to change the state religion, instead of opposing it, they strongly support it. As if to show their loyalty, they will attack the remnants of Mingjiao without leaving any room.
But for Jiang Sheng, these are just a wave of disturbance after practicing.
Now Jiang Sheng has moved into Qixia Mountain and Zhu Jiu's palace.
There are 13 palaces and halls in this palace, as well as hanging waterfalls, hot springs, and spiritual maples and birds, which are bright and elegant.
On the third day after Jiang Sheng entered Qixia Mountain, Li Yan and Huang Yu also came after receiving the news.
Huamingtang is in an excellent location, with a waterfall in the front and red maples reflecting in the sky on both sides. During the day, the clouds and mist are thin and ethereal. At night, the bright moon hangs high and the dew is crystal clear. The scenery is unique. Make people linger.
Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged in the Huaming Hall, slowly brewing tea. Li Yan sat opposite, silent.
Huang Yu looked at Jiang Sheng, then at Li Yan, and couldn't help but sigh: "What are you two doing? Let's talk to each other."
"Taoist Master Yuchen, what are you doing?" We haven't shown up for a long time, so we are very worried."
Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "I asked you to worry about it. What traces can the fairy find in this Ming country?"
Li Yan shook her head, a little dull: "Nothing."
"The fire in the south, the phoenix singing in the west mountain, the fire in the south may not be two words, but refers to a place, or an item ”
The tea soup was boiling. Jiang Sheng divided it into three teacups and brought it to Li Yan and Huang Yu: "Nan Ming, Liu Huo, if you combine them into one sentence, then I will really have new insights."
"Speaking of which, have you ever heard of the Liuhua Dharma Assembly?"
Li Yan said: "But the Liuhua Dharma Assembly of the True Monarch Danxia?"
Jiang Sheng nodded: "Yes, True Monarch Danxia holds a dharma conference every three hundred and sixty years. Above the dharma conference, the clouds are shining brightly, the sky is full of smoke, and there are also flowers blooming, thousands of trees, and stars falling like rain." . ”
“If this Nanming Liuhuo refers to the True Monarch’s Liuhua Dharma Assembly, it may be the correct answer.”
Huang Yu thought thoughtfully after hearing this: "If we go by what Taoist Master Yuchen said, it is indeed possible." Everyone has their own advantages, and it is impossible to say that your chance is among them."
Li Yan nodded slightly after hearing this: "Even if you don't have the chance mentioned by the heavenly master, it is very good to be able to listen to a true king's sermon. Okay."
"The Taoist priest mentioned the Liuhua Dharma Conference, but he also wants to attend it?"
Jiang Sheng smiled and looked a little lazy: "Of course there is this. Plan, but in recent years, Pindao will not leave.”
"I have gained a lot this time. The poor Taoist should take a good retreat and understand the Taoism."
After hearing this, Li Yan stood up and left: "In this case, I will not disturb the Taoist priest's practice."
Jiang Sheng said: "There are many palaces in Qixia Mountain. If the fairy wants to stay and practice, just choose a palace."
Li Yan shook her head: "Qixia Mountain is good, but it is not suitable for me. "I plan to go directly to South Vietnam and look for opportunities along the way. Maybe I will gain something after arriving in South Vietnam."
Li Yan has her own plan, so Jiang Sheng will not force her to stay: "Since the fairy has already made a plan, I wish the fairy a good journey."
"If we are destined, maybe we can stay in South Vietnam before the Liuhua Dharma Assembly. "See you."
Seeing Li Yan turn around and leave, Huang Yu sighed melancholy, bowed his hands to Jiang Sheng, and then left with Li Yan.
When the two left, the smile on Jiang Sheng's face gradually faded away.
I don’t know if it’s because there is some residual divine power in the body from the emperor who died in vain, but according to Jiang Sheng’s perception, Huang Yu’s body was slightly turbid.
"It seems turbid but not turbid, neither immortal nor Buddha."
"There are so many secrets in this fellow Huang Daoist."
After saying this, Jiang Sheng flicked his sleeves and mobilized his magic power to seal it. Qixia Palaces.
"Within ten years, you should use up the divine power in your body and participate in the play of wind, thunder, water and fire."
The rustling red maple reflects the flowing clouds, and you will realize the Taoist secrets on the Lingfeng Peak of the Xiaxia Mountains.
Unknowingly, Jiang Sheng had been in seclusion in Qixia Mountain for more than three years.
Three years have passed in a flash, and all the Buddhist temples in the entire Ming Dynasty have been uprooted, and a number of Taoist temples have been built at the same time.
The Mingjiao, a behemoth that had existed in the Ming Dynasty for twenty years, became a street rat after losing the support of Zhu Jiu and the Mingwang Temple as a backer.
Today's Ming Dynasty has changed Buddhism to Taoism and advocates Taoism and nature.
The most famous Taoist temple among them is undoubtedly Qixia Mountain.
According to legend, there is a heavenly master who retreats on Qixia Mountain and practices Taoism.
Unfortunately, Qixia Mountain is closed and difficult for ordinary people to approach.
Only occasionally, some people can see thunder exploding on Qixia Mountain, or wind and clouds surging, or water and fire reflecting in the sky, which is extremely mysterious.
As for Jiang Sheng in the mountains, he didn't care about the outside world.
As the cyan magic power travels through the meridians and acupoints in the body, and is washed away repeatedly, the divine power rooted in the body is refined and worn away.
And every time a trace of divine power is consumed and refined, that divine power will turn into pure vitality and spread out in Jiang Sheng's body.
It can be said that the process of consuming his divine power is the process of Jiang Sheng improving his cultivation bit by bit.
In Jiang Sheng's original expectation, he would spend about forty years improving his cultivation, laying a solid foundation for the Golden Core realm, and then breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
But now, Jiang Sheng has probably refined all the divine power in his body, and his magic power will naturally be perfected.
While consuming the divine power in his body and practicing wind, thunder, water, and fire, Jiang Sheng's practice went extremely smoothly.
Whether it was the battle with Juekong, a high-grade golden elixir who was also in the late stage of golden elixir, or the subsequent futile death of the emperor who manipulated Jiang Sheng's body to display his divine powers, Jiang Sheng benefited a lot.
Right now Jiang Sheng is gradually digesting these gains.
But I saw the hands of the Taoist in green crown and black robe slowly pushing, the wind and water were rising, the thunder from the sky stirred the fire on the earth, and the scene of four elephants turning around evolved.
"The wind moves the water and the thunder creates fire. The so-called water and fire refine yin and yang, wind and thunder combine with nature, and the four phenomena are harmonious. This is the righteous method." Push away and take sides.
The wind blows in the east, fire rises in the south, thunder appears in the west, water surges in the north, the four colors of green, red, purple and blue appear between the sky and the earth, and the faint sound of tigers roaring and dragons roars.
Jiang Sheng pointed at one point at the same time, and the strong wind, fierce fire, thunder, and Ruoshui all turned into sword shapes, and a sword formation evolved out of thin air.
This is an upgraded version of the Ruoshui Sword Formation that killed Juekong before.
Before the magical power could not be transformed into a domain, Jiang Sheng could only set up the Ruoshui Sword Formation and then use Wind, Thunder, Water and Fire. At the same time, he also needed his own magic weapon to cooperate.
But after three years of continuous practice, and after refining the remaining divine power in his body, he gained some insights, allowing Jiang Sheng to use this square sword formation much more smoothly.
At least it doesn't have to be that troublesome.
As the sword formation took shape, wind, thunder, water and fire moved together. However, the sword chant was like the roar of cranes, and the sword energy surged vertically and horizontally. The green, red, blue, and purple sword rainbows swept across the sky, smashing everything in the interweaving, and the sword formation was completely destroyed. It became shattered.
At the same time, Jiang Sheng activated the essence of Renshui and Binghuo with both hands, transforming into Renshui True Thunder and Binghuo True Thunder, then Wutu evolved, and Wutu True Thunder reappeared.
The three-color true thunder intertwined in Jiang Sheng's hands, and the opportunity of deep destruction spread. As Jiang Sheng threw the three-color true thunder, thunder reappeared on Qixia Mountain.
"call"
The Taoist slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and gathered his energy to calm the chaos in the mountain.
"You still need to practice."
"To cultivate magical powers using golden elixirs, you need to practice the magical passages to perfection one by one. Only when you break through the Nascent Soul can you achieve superiority."
"Still need to practice more" (End of this chapter)
