The moonlight is like water, and the world is plain white, Ling Zhen took a sip, looked at Ling Chong, and then looked at Ling Kang, but he was also very emotional, and said: "The three of us father and son, but we haven't drunk like this for a long time." ”

Ling Kang said with a smile: "The second brother has been successful in his studies in the past few years, but he doesn't have to stick to the imperial examination, why don't you ask Zhang Ge Lao to resign earlier, or go back to Jinling, how good it would be for our family to reunite." "Ling Kang has seen Ling Chong's Yin God incarnation make a move, and he knows that this second brother is pregnant with a superior Dao technique, and his father doesn't like strange forces in his life, and he wants to help Ling Chong cover up one or two.

Ling Chong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I was about to show my father about this matter, but in fact, I ......" was about to tell the matter of his own monkhood and cultivation, Ling Zhen said lightly: "Is it your cultivation of the Immortal Family's Dao Law? I have already guessed this matter." ”

Ling Chong choked and said, "Father had already guessed it?" Ling Zhen nodded: "Back then, you used martial arts to defeat Qiao Baisui, but it didn't matter. Until you invited the Bixia Monk to sit in your home and repelled Xiao Li, I expected that you must have worshipped a great master and learned superior spells. Originally, I didn't want you to practice swordsmanship or Taoism, and I didn't want you to ask Zhang Ge Lao to intercede for you, so I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, and let you go. Otherwise, even if I am broad-minded, how can you not come to Beijing to see you in person after following Zhang Ge for more than ten years? Also, after your guidance, the dynasty has become more and more sophisticated in martial arts over the years, and he is younger than me.

Ling Chong thought about it, sure enough, the old father was not stupid, he had already seen that he had left home to cultivate, but he didn't trigger it. Otherwise, as long as he went to Jingshi to find Zhang Ge Lao to confront him, he immediately showed his feet, and said: "Since the father already knows, the child doesn't need to say much." In the past ten years, he has really entered a Taixuan Sword Sect and practiced swordsmanship. It is true that he has studied in the old family of Zhang Ge, and his father does not need to be suspicious. ”

Listening to the words of the old father, it seems that in the past few years, the practice of Ling Chong's exercises has made great progress, and even the old age and injuries have been healed, which is a good thing. Ling Chong briefly talked about the experience of apprenticeship with Taixuan at the moment, he didn't dare to say more about cultivating the Demon Dao, breaking into the underworld and other mysterious things, he only picked the Jingshi to quell the rebellion, and there were some overseas anecdotes.

Looking back, Ling Chong has been involved in many major events in the past ten years, and picking up some insignificant things at this moment has also stunned Ling Zhen and Ling Kang, and even forgot to drink wine. After a long time, Ling Zhencai sighed and said: "You have the ambition to be born since you were a child, I originally planned to find a family affair for you earlier, and when you have an heir and continue the Ling family's incense, I will naturally dispel this idea." Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, your brother's marriage has made me anxious, most of it is through your strength that I can pass it safely, otherwise only Xiao Li will be able to destroy my Ling family. Later, I also wanted to open some, and now that Kang'er has an heir, the Ling family has a future, you don't have to worry about the incense, just follow your wishes!"

Ling Kang was concerned about the matter of immortality, and asked in a loud voice: "I saw those immortal masters and Dao masters, all of whom were immortal wind dao bones, who could release flying swords, and were known as taking people's heads thousands of miles away, since your sect was a sword sect, they must also have this ability?"

Ling Chong couldn't resist him, and a sword qi popped out of his fingers, three inches long, flying around the room like lightning, between the sword intent, the whole study suddenly chilled, Ling Kang couldn't help but fight a cold war, Ling Chong waved his hand, and collected the sword qi, Ling Kang felt better, and said unrelentingly: "What kind of ability is this? Why don't you come and sharpen the iron and split the tree, show me?"

Ling Chong said with a smile: "I practice the authentic swordsmanship of the Xuanmen, not the style of performing on the street, my move is already a very clever trick in swordsmanship, and those immortal masters you have seen are afraid that they are powerless." Ling Kang said with a smile: "Hey, I can't see that Ling Daxia is already a swordsmanship master! I heard that cultivating the Tao and practicing qi requires laying excellent roots and bones from an early age, I don't have that good life, look at your nephew, can you be accomplished?"

Ling Chong said: "I once asked the master to calculate the luck of the Ling family, and his old man said that the Ling family has accumulated yin virtue, and the family has Yu Qing, so that I can have the fate of the law and enter the Tao to practice." But this opportunity was completely occupied by me, so for at least six generations, no descendants of the Ling family had the opportunity to enter the Tao and practice. ”

Ling Kang was very disappointed and said, "I still want your nephew to cultivate with you, and also fight for immortality or something, and come back to live with him." Ling Chong said: "My master has no last resort, and he will definitely not lie to me." The descendants of the Ling family are not in line with the cultivation path, and there is no doubt about it. But I already had a plan," I still have to entangle again, Ling Zhen interrupted him and said: "Okay, Zi Bu is strange and confused, your younger brother has the fate to become a qi practitioner, the world's cultivators are like carp crossing the river, and everyone can live forever, and they will not shine with the sun and the moon? ”

Ling Kang was stunned at this time, Ling Chong smiled and said: "I have a method for practicing qi here, not the method of immortal enlightenment and immortality, but the most is neutral and peaceful, there is no risk of going mad, practicing for a day will have a day of entry, especially everyone can practice, regardless of qualifications and age, fathers and grandmothers, aunts, sisters-in-law and nephews can all practice, as long as they are well maintained, it is not a luxury to live over 100 years old." ”

Ling Kang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "There are such good things, pass them on to me quickly! Let me also try how mysterious the Dao method of the Immortal Family is?" Ling Zhen reprimanded with a straight face: "How can a person who already has a family still break away like this? What kind of system will it become when it is spread out!" said to Ling Chong: "There is also a meditation and mindfulness method among Confucianism, but you don't need your method, so you should leave it to your nephew when he is older and pass it on to him!"

Ling Zhen is more knowledgeable than Ling Kang's son, I don't know how many Xuanmen Immortal Masters and the like have been seen in his life, and he knows that the method of practicing qi is the core inheritance in each faction, and he must not teach it privately, otherwise the end will be extremely miserable.

Ling Chong said: "Daddy don't worry, this trick for children is unintentionally obtained, it is not limited by the Taixuanmen, the origin is innocent, and it doesn't hurt to pass it on to anyone." "At that moment, I will recite a qi practice method, and point out the key points. This recipe has changed from the method of Taiqingmen's Taiqing Xuanshi's qi, and it has a gentle temperament and can best maintain health and life, which is really the top grade of the Xuanmen method.

The sword technique of the Taixuan Sword Sect is too strong, too soft, not in line with the way of health preservation, and it is not easy to pass it on privately. Only the method of Taiqingmen, Ling Chong's own family is the contemporary head of Taiqingmen, and he can pass it on whoever he wants, which is very convenient, even if the boy is here, he can't say a word, at most he scolds him for a fake public benefit.

After passing on the essence of the formula, Ling Chong deliberately pointed out: "This recipe is all about sitting on the gong, it is easy to start, and it is from a great sect of Xuanmen ten thousand years ago, but unfortunately it has long been scattered now." But the great enemy of the portal has been passed down, and anyone from my Ling family can practice this exercise, but it must not be leaked to the outside world, otherwise it will be a big disaster!"

How the Taiqing Sect was destroyed back then, Ling Chong didn't know very well, he only knew that there was a Qingxu Dao Sect behind him, if it was Yin Ji Patriarch who was in the lower realm, he might not be afraid of the Qingxu Dao Sect, just look at thousands of years, Yin Ji Patriarch only stood by and watched, refusing to make the slightest move in the reincarnation world, there must be a last resort. Since Guo Chunyang acquiesced in Ling Chong's cultivation of the Taiqing Dao Method, he must have been deeply aware of the Taiqing Gate public case, and his attitude towards this matter was always ambiguous, and Ling Chong did not dare to ask rashly, the Ling family cultivated the Taiqing Dao Method, as long as they did not leak the news, it would not hurt.

Ling Zhen said: "This recipe has a lot to do, it's better not to spread it outside, and Kang'er and I don't want to cultivate." Ling Chong said with a smile: "What the child said is just in case, father doesn't have to worry too much, just let it go." Even if someone comes to the door, they have their own children to deal with it. Ling Kang easily got a Immortal Family Technique, how could he give it up? He also said: "Father is also worried, the second brother has a plan, and it doesn't hurt for us to cultivate this Dao Recipe, it's a big deal to keep your mouth tight, don't let others notice." ”

Ling Chong diverted the topic and said: "The child saw King Jing's rebels defeated and retreated in Beijing, what happened after all?" Ling Zhen snorted, mentioning King Jing's rebellion is a belly of anger, and said: "Zuo Huairen led the army to come before, as long as Jinling is captured, King Jing will have the resources of the emperor. God has eyes, but he didn't let it succeed in the end, and Zuo Huairen left with a disgraced face. Since the defeat of King Jing, he led the army south, returned to the fiefdom, and issued a letter a few days ago, slandering the prince for killing his father and usurping the throne, but he became the righteous teacher of King Qin. Emperor Hui has died, King Jing regards himself as orthodox, and will soon perform the enthronement ceremony in the fief and officially claim the emperor. There is news that Zuo Huairen offered a plan to King Jing, and he would take the land of Jinling in order to make a big plan, if this is the case, it will be a place of war and chaos in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Ling Chong asked: "King Jing is rebellious, dare to usurp the emperor, what is the movement of the prince?" Ling Kang said: "There is a word among the Jingshi that the first emperor has been buried, and the crown prince has been on the throne for a few days. I just heard that King Chang Songqin has a meritorious escort, and he is the prince's uncle, and now he has been named the secretary of the military department and the prince Shaobao, entered the cabinet to discuss politics, and led the world's soldiers and horses. However, Zhang Ge Lao did not deal with the crown prince very much, and it is said that the prince intended to deprive him of power. ”

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were first reused, and then the Wenyuan Pavilion was established to take charge of the affairs of a country. Those who can enter the Wenyuan Pavilion are all important ministers for a while, and they are called university scholars. According to the ancestral system, there were only five to seven people. Since Emperor Hui entered the cabinet in the seventh year, Zhang Shouzheng has served as the first assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion, and has been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for decades, with a deep foundation. The crown prince ascended the throne and wanted to monopolize power, so he naturally regarded Zhang Shouzheng as a thorn in his side, reused his relatives, and used Chang Song to balance Zhang Gelao, which was an expected means.

Ling Chong was an outsider, and he didn't bother to pay attention to such intrigues, and said: "Lord Zhang is not a person who is greedy for power, the new emperor ascended the throne, the foundation is unstable, and there is a rebellion outside, it is when the old minister is needed to assist, the prince is so eager to restrain the old man, I am afraid that it will chill the heart of the old minister, which is not good for the national body." ”

Ling Kang slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's right! The prince is so happy with his achievements, he likes to talk about it, and he is not the lord of the Ming Monarch...... On the other hand, Ling Zhen reprimanded: "A rebellious son without a king and a father, how dare he make such a big rebellious remark!" Ling Kang was stunned, honestly kept silent, and drank sullen wine.

If the prince can make great efforts to govern and reuse virtuous ministers, he will not be able to quell the rebellion at the beginning, and now it seems that he is eager to take power before he ascends the throne, and he is mean and unkind, and he is stronger than King Jing. Ling Chong pondered for a moment and sighed. Zhang Shouzheng's matter had already been expected in his heart, and he only hoped that it would come true, otherwise he would really make the heroes of the world sigh.

Ling Chong said: "If Zuo Huairen leads the army again, can Jinling have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Ling Zhen said: "After the last military disaster, the city of Jinling has learned from the pain, and wrote to the prince, asking for the general to lead the troops to help. These days were also widely stocked up for war. But Zuo Huairen is a famous general in the world, and he uses strange soldiers, and there are not many people who can teach him and inferior. In addition, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers of Jinling are not accustomed to war, which is also a major hidden danger. ”

Ling Chong didn't want to say in detail that there were still demon masters in King Jing's army, so he only said: "If King Jing is a real soldier in the city, my father can lead the family to take refuge in Bixia Temple, and I have an old relationship with Monk Bixia, and he will definitely take him in." Ling Zhen smiled and said: "You are a fool of cultivating the Tao! For my father to learn the principles of sages all his life, only to help the people through the world, if there is really a rebel army to attack one day, only to die to martyr the Ming Dynasty, how can there be a reason to retreat and avoid disaster!"

Ling Chong smiled bitterly, knowing that the old father had decided early, and he didn't persuade much, the father and son drank until midnight and rested separately. At the fifth watch of the second day, a maid came to call the door, Ling Chong sat upright and practiced qi, only to hear the girl say through the door: "Second young master, the old lady got up very early today, saying that it was a Bodhisattva dream, and she wanted to take Young Master Sun to Bixia Temple to pray for incense, please go with you!"

Ling Chong smiled and said, "I know, you go and tell your grandmother, I'll be there later!" Tidy up the clothes and come to the living room, I saw the old lady having breakfast with Cui's and Ling Kang's wife, and saw Ling Chong and smiled: "I dreamed last night that the Bodhisattva's golden body was sage, and on a whim, I want to go to Bixia Temple to offer incense, and pull your aunt and sister-in-law, you leather monkey will also go with me!" Ling Chong laughed, hastily had breakfast, the old lady took her grandson's little hand, and got on a small sedan chair, followed by the sedan chair of the two ladies, Ling Chong led a few family members to ride horses to accompany him.

He saw that his nephew was sleepy-eyed, and he didn't dare to disobey his great-grandmother, his little face was very aggrieved, and he frequently went to see his mother, but Ling Kang's wife didn't see it, and was secretly funny. Ling Chong was about to see the monk Bixia, and escorted the ladies of the Ling Mansion all the way to Bixia Mountain, remembering that when he did not enter the Tao more than ten years ago, he also accompanied his grandmother to Bixia Temple to make incense.

King Jing was defeated and left, hundreds of miles outside Jinling City The boundary is still peaceful, there is no thief who cuts the path, at noon has arrived in front of Bixia Temple, only to see a middle-aged monk wearing a big red robe, in front of the temple to greet him, it is Bixia monk, he smiled and said: "More than ten years ago, the younger brother accompanied the old lady into the incense, today is just like reincarnation, rather not sigh?"

Ling Chong dismounted and said with a smile: "It's not reincarnation, it's just the reappearance of the old days." "Helped the old lady out of the sedan chair. Old Madam Ling was not surprised to see Monk Bixia personally welcoming guests. Cui Shi was secretly surprised when he saw that this Bixia Divine Monk was talking and laughing with Ling Chong, and he was very familiar.

Monk Bixia didn't say much, and respectfully invited several female dependents to enter the Daxiong Treasure Hall for incense. There are no miscellaneous people in the hall, only two old monks with white beards to serve, the old lady took the hand of the great-grandson, knelt down to worship the golden body of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and the wife of Cui and Ling Kang behind him also sincerely knelt down to worship, only Ling Chong was a disciple of the Xuanmen, and he did not kneel, but he also respectfully bowed to the golden body of the Buddha.

Monk Bixia stood aside with a smile, waited for the visit to be finished, and said: "The old lady has worked hard from afar, and the poor monk has ordered to prepare a table of vegetarian banquets, and invite the old lady to serve in the meditation hall in the backyard." The old lady smiled and said: "It's not a secret, I came to incense, and I also want to taste the vegetarian food in Bixia Temple, which is much more delicious than my house." A few of our mothers go to fast, so Chong'er doesn't have to accompany us, anyway, it doesn't matter if you eat or not. "Led two large and one small, and went to the meditation room in the backyard.

Monk Bixia smiled and said: "Senior brother is far away, why don't you come to my abbot, how about we talk about a game?" Ling Chong said: "My chess skills are not good, senior brother should not see and laugh." The two entered the abbot's house, withdrew from the crowd, and sat down opposite each other.
