Chapter 2068: Fulfilling One's Wishes in This Life
The life of Xingyue Yuan is peaceful.
Practice, make money, teach disciples.
Jiang Dongjia made a list and asked Shopkeeper Bai to collect it according to the order - all the fairy palace materials that Baiyun Boy remembered after friendly communication.
These days, the little fairy boy is carrying dozens of tomes and chewing them. They are all "Records of Strange Objects in the Modern World" and "Collections of Strange Treasures", etc., which are used to allow him to compare the differences between ancient and modern strange objects, awaken memory fragments, and find corresponding replacements.
Baiyun Boy visibly transformed into a boy with dark circles under his eyes, a bit like an iron-eating beast.
Regardless of whether Yunding Immortal Palace can be restored to its peak level, Jiang Zhenren has become ruthless. Since Xu Wang, Yang Zhen, and Xu Qiuci are willing to spend a lot of money to repair it, does it have value?
"Baiyun, reading more will only do you good, not bad. Will I harm you?"
The boy Baiyun flipped through the book and said nothing.
"Junior brother." Zhu Weiwo came upstairs at this time and sat down opposite Jiang Wang: "I have made some progress in spear skills recently. I want to find a place to practice. Yu Yuan has been there earlier, so there is no need to go again. You have What advice?”
After the battle of Fazhuang, everyone who participated in the murder of the real person made some progress.
Zhu Weiwo has always been a fighting genius. After experiencing such a life and death battle, the harvest will naturally be huge.
Jiang Wang looked at him: "Your injury is not completely healed yet. Why are you so anxious?"
Zhu Weiwo just smiled lightly and said nothing.
There are too many people in this world who are struggling day and night. As far away as Lin Xian is when he returns home, as close as Zhong Liyan who has just left, who dares to relax?
I wish I had a special reason.
Hard?
His love is still imprisoned in the huge city.
Danger?
Is he a person who is afraid of danger?
Jiang Wang couldn't persuade him, and he didn't intend to do so anymore. He just said, "I'm going with my senior brother. We, our senior brothers, will join hands to show off our power!"
He added: "When you reach the level of Senior Brother, the general small world is a side trip, and there is no point in waiting for dangerous places. It is nothing more than the Demon Realm, the Mysterious Realm, the Border Wasteland, the Yuyuan, the Meteor Immortal Forest, and the Disaster Water.
"The Demon Realm is a place where nations compete. If you go there alone, you won't be able to grasp the situation, and it's easy to be swept away by accidents. Well... the most important thing is
The demon clan has some objections to me, so I can’t go again.
"The war in the Mysterious Realm was about to end. Gao Jie sealed this world before he died, so that the gods could not enter. However, there are several special areas in the Mysterious Realm. There are caves in them, and there may even be ways to evolve, and there is also the possibility of transcendence. Weapons. My senior brother's cultivation is appropriate, but I'm afraid he won't get much experience. The opponents inside now are either too strong or too weak.
"It's not appropriate to be in the wilderness. I just erected a monument. If I continue to provoke, trouble will easily happen.
"Senior Brother Yu Yuan has already been there. I'm not very familiar with the Fallen Immortal Forest. How about going to Huoshui? I've been to that place once. There are all kinds of evil sights and you can't kill them all. It's quite suitable to hone your fighting skills. Of course, it is also very dangerous. There are existences beyond the first level, but there is no possibility of them being born in the short term.”
Zhu Weiwo did not hesitate: "Then go to Huoshui."
Jiang Wang said: "Then it's settled. But I have to go out for a while. When I come back, we can set off together."
Of course I knew Zhu Wei, but Jiang Wang still hoped that he would fully recover from his injuries before going out, so he just asked: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Wang said: "Qi State."
Zhu Weiwo raised his sword eyebrows: "Have you not already left Qi and cut off contact? Why are you going to Qi?"
Jiang Wang looked at Dongfang and said blankly: "Go and see old friends and settle some old matters."
…
…
Jiang Wang didn't take Chu Yao with him when he went to Qi State, because he was afraid that the child would return to Linzi, experience the prosperity of Linzi, and not want to come to Xingyueyuan again.
Since he is going to embark on the path of cultivation, all the training he has done so far is to lay the foundation for transcendence. It is not a good thing to have no focus. After all, the road is long and difficult, and the peak is difficult to climb.
When he met Emperor Qi in Donghua Pavilion, Jiang Wang said what he wanted——
"Seeking for the truth, seeking for the true invincibility, seeking to cut down the barriers in the heart, seeking for a fulfilling life."
He has sought and obtained the secret of truth.
The barriers in my heart have been destroyed in the underworld.
He was about to take great strides forward on the path of becoming truly invincible.
This life is exactly what he wants to do.
The immortality of gods is just a pseudo-immortality because the body is indestructible for 518 years. The real person is returning to his origin and seeing true immortality. This process of seeing true immortality and understanding true immortality is the truth of truth.
Jiang Wang is taking the path of "true self". Although this path is rare, it is not unprecedented. However, everyone's "I" is different, and everyone's path is difficult to walk.
Although he has "made it clear from the gods", he has reached the limit of the presence of gods and has mastered himself. And "the truth of the cave world", gaining insight into the world.
But "understanding oneself" and "seeing the world" are eternal practices. He just reached a certain stage at a certain time in his life. But which one is "me", me now or me then? Is the truth we see now really the only truth?
If it stops here, that's all.
The true self he envisions is not to do as he pleases, but to do as he pleases without violating the rules.
The debts that should be paid must be paid, the debts that should be paid must be paid, and the things that should be done must be done.
Since you are truly like yourself, pleasure is also a practice.
When Jiang Zhenren came out of Xingyueyuan, he flew across the eastern region and headed for Linzi.
Of course, in the border town of Daqi, he also pressed the cloud and registered for entry - giving a false name of Ling Dugu, and even bribed him with a small amount of money.
There is no problem with his identity certificate. It is not that he must pay to enter, but he deliberately wants to find out the administrative situation of the border defense, and by the way, let himself cut in line and take the VIP channel to avoid waiting for a long time.
In fact, human nature cannot be tested.
When he added 100 taels of silver. A small captain of the border defense drove him from the west gate to the east gate.
The captain kept looking at him in the car, and when he got off the car, he said something strange: "Has anyone ever said that you look like the former Wu'an Marquis? The military has passed around a photo stone with his image, and I have seen it several times."
Jiang Wang laughed: "Don't worry, I won't report you. I voluntarily gave you money, and it's not shameful for you to earn some extra money without harming others. But don't do it again."
He patted his shoulder and left.
Only the captain was left standing there in a daze.
...
Jiang Wang walked from the border town to Linzi. On the official roads that extend in all directions, you can see the scenery of the world and the traffic of vehicles. It feels like a new life to realize the truth. It is time to look at this world with curiosity.
The scenery of the East is beautiful, I haven't seen it for a long time!
But at a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and looked ahead calmly.
The space was split open like this, and a man wearing a scholar's long gown, with a white face and no beard, walked out like this. He tore a page of the space like tearing paper, and then took back his hand and closed the space. With a faint smile on his face: "Long time no see, Hou - I should call you Master Jiang!"
"General Manager Han!" Jiang Wang looked at him with a smile: "Or should I say the leader of the night watchmen, Lord Han?"
Although Han Ling changed into a scholar's suit and began to walk in a refined style, he still had the habit of hiding his hands in his sleeves. You always feel that he will take out a roll of imperial edict the next moment.
"I've only been in office for a few days, how did you know? Did Marquis Bowang tell you?"
"Marquis Bowang wouldn't tell me this. How could I be privy to the high-level secrets of Qi? It's because your clothes are too obvious, I can tell at a glance." Jiang Wang said: "In the past, I never took off the scarlet inner official uniform when I saw Lord Han."
Han Ling bowed and said: "I haven't congratulated you yet. Seeing you again today, you are already a real person in the world! Thinking about the day you were made a marquis, I went to invite you and Marquis Guanjun to enter... It seems like yesterday, it's a pity! It's said that time flies, don't let it go lightly. You and Marquis Guanjun are people who can't catch up with time."
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "I haven't congratulated Lord Han either. After years of accumulation, you have achieved success in one day. You have reached a high position, which also proves this truth!"
From the perspective of an inner official, being the chief steward of the inner palace in this life is the limit.
From the perspective of the emperor's private letter, being the leader of the night watchmen in this life is the pinnacle.
From the perspective of personal cultivation, a real person in the world has reached the cultivation threshold listed in the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall.
Han Ling has been serving the king quietly for many years, and he is really an extraordinary person.
But in front of Jiang Wang, he was very modest and shook his head and said, "Although we both achieved the Dongzhen, I achieved it by taking advantage of the situation. You are the first in history, and the gap is still very large."
Han Ling's words were really too modest.
Just like the threshold of cultivation in the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall is Dongzhen,
Just like the court officials and the nine soldiers commanders, they all have to be offered a large amount of national power, which is a position that can "raise the truth". But except for top-level gods like Chongxuan Chuliang, how can ordinary gods be promoted?
If you really want to get promoted and take advantage of the situation to raise the truth, don't you see how fierce the competition is within the hegemony country, and whether it is willing to support idle people!
Generally speaking, court officials or nine soldiers commanders must either have made great achievements, or have been loyal for generations and have accumulated honors for generations, and they must also be Dongzhen strongmen.
Let's talk about the internal officials of Da Qi.
From Han Ling down, there are eight eunuchs holding pens and eight eunuchs accompanying the hall. They are equal in status and are powerful figures only below Han Ling. They are all in the realm of Shenlin.
If Han Ling is an ordinary Shenlin, how can he suppress them?
The former leader of the night watchmen, Zhu Sui, is a figure of Yandao, a strong man who has been patrolling the country for more than a thousand years. If Han Ling is an ordinary Dongzhen, how could the Emperor of Qi allow him to take this position?
Then Zheng Shi is also the confidant of the emperor, a confidant for many years, with great hard work and great achievements, and his ability is obvious to all. Until now, hasn't he become the commander of Zhanyu? He has everything he needs, only cultivation.
He is also a strong man in the realm of Shenlin, but not strong enough, not as strong as Chongxuan Chu Liang, and he doesn't have the family behind Chongxuan Chu Liang.
In a world with extraordinary power, insufficient cultivation means not being tough.
The Emperor of Da Qi is not a nepotist.
Jiang Wang said with a smile: "I am alone, and Lord Han has the emperor above him and the hegemony behind him. There is indeed a big gap, and I look up to him."
"Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other." Han Ling seemed to be in a good mood and said: "Since you are here, why don't you fly directly to Zibo? It seems that we are treating you poorly by walking here step by step!"
Jiang Wang said: "After entering the country, I thought about it and decided not to bother Lord Han to carry me!"
"Master Jiang is really thoughtful." Han Ling also smiled: "As a night watchman of Daqi, I still have to ask you - what are you doing here?"
Jiang Wang said seriously: "I want to visit the emperor, this is the first thing I do since I came to the west."
Han Ling looked at him meaningfully and said: "You fly by yourself today, the emperor has given you permission."
Jiang Wang was silent for a while, and then said: "It seems that the emperor is still closer to Lord Han..."
Han Ling said: "I have no strengths, but I am loyal."
Jiang Wang said: "I still want to walk. I haven't walked this road for a long time. I was eager to practice before and didn't have time to take a good look at this place. The first 23 years of my life were too tight. Now I want to slow down at important moments."
"You said you want to slow down, but you became the first truth in history!" Han Ling smiled and said sideways: "Then I will accompany Master Jiang for a walk, please!"
The two walked side by side on the right side of the official road, talking while walking, so as not to hinder the post horses that might be running here.
Jiang Wang asked: "I forgot to ask Lord Han, who is the current head of the internal officials?"
Han Ling asked back: "Who does Master Jiang hope for?"
Among the eight pen holders and eight attendants, Jiang Wang was only familiar with Qiu Ji, and he also recognized Zhong Liwen.
He just said: "It's just a casual question, how can I have any hope? This is a national affair, only the emperor can decide it."
Han Ling said: "I wonder if you are familiar with the eunuch Huo Yanshan?"
Jiang Wang shook his head: "Not only have I never seen him, but I have never heard of him."
Han Ling sighed: "Gentlemen are in groups but not in parties, villains are in parties but not in groups. Master Jiang was a state marquis in the past, but he couldn't know how to write in the hall, so he can be called a gentleman!"
These sixteen eunuchs are always around the king, and they are real trusted attendants. Officials in Qi should have some business. Even if they don't form cliques, they should be careful to make friends. A few words at the critical moment may make a big difference!
Jiang Wang, who doesn't care about anything, doesn't take power or form power, is in a high position, but lives in seclusion, and only cares about practicing, is really an outlier.
Faced with such praise, Jiang Wang said: "I read earlier that 'A gentleman does not form a party, and his disaster will not be helped; a villain is good at making friends, and his benefit is helped by others. If morality is lost without punishment, there will be trouble without a solution.' It feels very reasonable.
"I think there is no single truth in the way people face the world, and there is not necessarily a more correct way. Everyone has different positions in different situations.
"As for me, although I do not form a party, I am also dedicated to cultivation. I have been living up to my reputation and have not done much for the people. I don't think I am a gentleman."
Han Ling listened quietly, and felt that Jiang Wang now was indeed different from before. Who did the youngest real person in history think of when he said this?
……
……
This is not the first time that Jiang Wang has come to Delu Palace.
This is the second time he has stood in the square in front of Delu Palace.
The last time he left, he and Chong Xuanzun beat this place to pieces.
Now there is no trace of fighting.
Just like after he left Qi, Qi was still glorious.
The world is not just for Qi, and Jiang Wang is not the only one in Qi.
After standing here for two hours, someone came out to announce it.
Jiang Wang then saw the new chief steward Huo Yanshan.
This man was tall and strong, a rare figure among the eunuchs. He suppressed his voice, which was also low and loud, unlike the soft or sharp voices of other eunuchs.
"What should I call you?" His face was purple, and I don't know if it was born like this or if he practiced some special skills. When he came to Jiang Wang, his attitude was not distant.
After all, he was the first truth in history. After standing for so long, Jiang Wang's face did not show any impatience, but was as kind as spring breeze, and said in a gentle voice: "General steward Huo, don't be polite, just call me by my name."
Huo Yanshan then said: "Master Jiang, His Majesty summoned you."
Jiang Wang nodded as a courtesy: "Thank you for leading the way."
These few steps were slow, and even the change of the chief steward from Han Ling to Huo Yanshan seemed to have a sense of severity.
Delu Palace is where the emperor practices, so it is relatively less solemn.
But the palace is wide and the building is tall, and the emperor is more casual.
"Casual" means... he is more likely to lose his temper.
Huo Yanshan's back is getting taller and taller.
The open doors of the palace are like two guillotines.
Jiang Wang took a deep breath and stepped into the palace.
