That night, Jiang's father and mother opened the door and looked at their son standing outside the door with a confused expression, carrying two pheasants and two big fish in his hands.

Naturally, these chickens and fish were not bought from Yicheng, and at present, Longxiang's economy has not fully recovered, and only large and medium-sized cities have a sufficient supply of meat, poultry, fish and eggs.

Therefore, on the way to Yicheng, Jiang Ting easily caught these two chickens and fishes.

After the cataclysm, not only the Terran awakened people appeared in a large area, but so did the animals, and the two pheasants in Jiang Ting's hands were the same as the turtle spirit, which he grabbed from a small mountain.

Whether it is chicken or fish, it is full of the aura of heaven and earth, and eating it is extremely good for the body.

"Son, why are you back so late?" , Father Jiang was surprised, and patted the clothes on Jiang Ting's body, "Isn't it cold outside when you wear it so thinly......?"

Jiang Ting saw his parents, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, compared with his parents in his memory, the parents in front of him seemed to be much younger than before.

"Dad, Mom, have you awakened too?" Jiang Ting saw the clue.

"This is thanks to Zhang Xiaoxian's child, if it weren't for him, I don't know how many people would die in our county......" Jiang's mother chattered, and Jiang Ting also learned a lot of news from it.

During the cataclysm, Zhang Xiaoxian also thought of a way to promote the Soul Attraction Technique to fight against natural disasters, so he was dismissed along with Jiang Ting.

After the revival of the aura was officially revealed, the departments under the Tianshu Management Office no longer had any mystery, and Jiang Ting did not continue to hide it, but told his parents about the affairs of the Pre-Qin Research Institute.

Of course, he didn't mention the dangerous missions again and again, because he didn't want his parents to worry.

The next morning, Jiang Ting's off-road vehicle stopped in front of Zhang Xiaoxian's house.

Zhang Xiaoxian was wearing a jacket, but he was waving a folding fan in his hand, which was very dazzling in this day when the ice and snow had not yet melted.

"Traveling to the north in the twilight, the green snake in his sleeve is bold." Zhang Xiaoxian laughed loudly, pulled the car door and jumped in.

"What? Yesterday's big health care after good spirits? Jiang Ting joked.

"I'm going to be busy to death these days, so it's easy to go out and have fun, and look at the great rivers and mountains of Kyushu, can you not be happy?" Zhang Xiaoxian looked taken for granted, "Besides, giving up an official to save the people, I am simply the light of the path." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Zhengdao." Jiang Ting said with a smile, his mood relaxed as he set off soon, "Where are you going to look?" ”

"Let's go around the famous mountains, and then walk along the border." Zhang Xiaoxian took out his mobile phone and handed it over, "I was busy all night with the route." ”

With that, he pulled open the glove box, where the four grenades lay quietly.

"Good fellow, KH-190." Zhang Xiaoxian's face was surprised, and he swept a grenade, "Long Xiang's most powerful grenade, these few in your car are still an enhanced version, are you trying to use yourself as a self-detonating truck?" ”

"Hey, be careful." Jiang Ting raised his head and snatched the grenade over, with his current physique, this grenade naturally couldn't cause him any damage, but Zhang Xiaoxian was different.

With such a close distance, even Jiang Ting could not guarantee that he would be able to protect him.

"Don't worry, I know it." Zhang Xiaoxian smiled and put the grenade back, "This kind of mine is on the double insurance, without opening the insurance, as long as it is not thrown into the fire or hit hard, it will not explode no matter what." ”

"In this way, judging from the distance, the first stop is to go to Mount Tai." Jiang Ting returned the mobile phone to Zhang Xiaoxian, "I remember the last time I went to Mount Tai, it was four years ago. ”

The off-road vehicle crushed the snow and ice on the road that had not yet melted and drove off into the distance.

The imperial capital of Longxiang.

In Longxiang, the most central part of the capital, half of which is occupied by the imperial palace, which is the privilege of Emperor Longxiang.

And the other half belongs to Long Xiang's other nobles, such as relatives and families, all of which are families connected to the Ming royal family, and only their most direct members can live in it.

The residential area of the royal family and other nobles is bounded by the central axis of the imperial capital, which is divided into two halves, and this pattern has been set at the time of Chen Taishi.

In between, a miniature palace struck, much smaller than the Imperial City, no bigger than a garden for a wealthy family.

However, even if it was built in the middle of the imperial city, it was only half a step lower than the imperial palace.

Because, this is the center of power in Longxiang, the seat of the Imperial Parliament.

Twelve figures walked out from the same side, most of them had white hair, but their steps were extremely steady, and each of them had reached the middle stage of the Soul Attraction Realm in their cultivation.

Without any communication, the twelve men were silent as stones and entered the council hall.

The guards in front of the door of the main hall were also in the middle of the Soul Induction Realm, and the thick qi and blood emanated from their bodies, scorching hot, and the surrounding air was distorted.

These guards were all dressed in golden armor, even their faces were covered, and their spears were so sharp that each of them could easily knock over a tank.

Entering the main hall, the twelve people drove through the corridor, passed through the thirteen rest rooms, and came to the deepest room.

There was a conference table in the room, the tea had been poured, and at the end of the conference table, a young man was standing.

"The Great Prince."

After everyone was seated, an old man bowed his hand, and the rest of them saluted.

"Grandpa doesn't have to be polite." The young man sat down, but instead of the high-backed chair facing the door, he added another chair.

"Qianshan, how is Your Majesty's condition?" The old man spoke.

"Back to my grandfather." The prince of the Ming family, known as "Thousand Mountains", said, "The imperial doctor came to see it in the early morning, and although my father's condition has stabilized, he has not yet woken up. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much about Qianshan." The old man was relieved, his name was Nangong Heng, and he was the biological father of the current Queen Longxiang and the head of the Longxiang Nangong family.

After everyone echoed a few words, an old woman spoke: "Heaven and earth have changed dramatically, with the arrival of this spiritual energy recovery, I wonder if your family has been well prepared?" ”

This old woman's name is Xiangmei, and even the eldest princess Ming Sujun's biological mother, according to her seniority, Ming Sujun's biological mother has to call her aunt.

"We want to advance from a mortal family to a family of cultivators, enjoy the worship of all beings, and worship for eternity, which is a feat that has never been seen since the beginning of the world."

A middle-aged man with gray hair took a sip of tea, "Who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong until we wait for success?" It's better to be as prepared as you can. ”

Ming Qianshan frowned slightly when he heard this, especially when he heard the two sentences "everyone worships and worships forever", he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

But the eldest prince can't say anything, the middle-aged man in front of him is his uncle in Ming Qianshan according to his seniority, but more importantly, this person is a member of the Imperial Diet, even the current emperor can't easily move him.

Among the twelve people present, behind each of them stood a behemoth-like family, whose interests had long been tied to the chariot of the empire.

"What Prince Ming Qi said is reasonable." Nangong Heng nodded, "Long Xiang's aura recovery is already lagging behind other empires, if it weren't for the heavens to help us and wait for this natural disaster, I'm afraid that our family may have a big crisis." ”

"Not bad." Xiang Mei nodded, "There are too many people in Longxiang's territory, and with the intensification of the recovery of spiritual energy, under this population base, if they are allowed to awaken naturally, I am afraid it will be a great threat to our family." ”

"Fortunately, this natural disaster has helped us a lot, and we have taken the opportunity of the natural disaster to delay the promotion of the soul-attracting formula, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." Prince Ming Qi spoke, "Right now, regardless of resource consumption, the sons of the clan will step up their cultivation time, just when the time is ripe and the ancestral spirit sacrifice is completed, we can transcend it." ”

"Yes, this natural disaster came at a good time." Another MP nodded.

"Exactly, after the completion of the ancestral spirit sacrifice, our family will be able to gain a firm foothold in this era of spiritual energy recovery, and the merits will be eternal." Someone chimed in.

"It's just that the plan we waited for was almost ruined by Na Jiang Ting and Zhang Xiaoxian, if it weren't for the traffic blockade under the natural disaster, these two people are afraid that they will ruin our good deeds." There was a bit of anger on Xiangmei's face.

"That Jiang Ting is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, even if he doesn't have so many resources to pile up, his cultivation has also reached the middle stage of the Soul Attraction Realm, as for the one named Zhang Xiaoxian...... You don't know much about this, and when the revival of the aura has not yet erupted, he is a figure who can stir up the supernatural worlds of the East and the West, but his genius is easy to break, and he finally falls. ”

Nangong Heng took a sip of tea, "I think that if we can win over these two people, we can even make some concessions." ”

"This ......" Prince Ming Qi couldn't believe his ears, "Heng Bo has such a high evaluation of the two?" ”

"It's not that I have a high opinion of them, it's that the qualifications of the two of them are too amazing, especially that Jiang Ting, if he is allowed to grow, he will definitely become the first person in Long Xiang in the future!"

Nangong Heng's expression was serious, "If it is possible, these two people must be included in our command." ”

"That Zhang Xiaoxian is already a wasted person, it shouldn't be difficult to win him over, but that Jiang Ting is a little troublesome."

Xiangmei frowned, "That day, Su Jun fought with him for the blood of that little girl of the Zhao family, and he actually risked being killed, forcibly stopped him, and injured Su Jun.

And afterwards, Sujun told me that the two did not fight suddenly, but Jiang Ting, knowing Ming Sujun's identity, still insisted on making a move and saved the little girl of the Zhao family. ”

"This Jiang Ting is so hard?!" Ming Qianshan smacked his tongue, the so-called most ruthless emperor family, coupled with Long Xiang's special inheritance method, he and his two sisters did not have much contact, and they did not know about this matter.

But for the family behind Ming Sujun and Ming Xueling, Ming Qianshan is still clear.

The eldest princess Ming Sujun, whose mother is Qingqing, is backed by the Long Xiang family, and is one of the out-and-out nobles, but Ming Xueling's mother Zhao Rou has a much sparse and ordinary family background.

He didn't believe that Jiang Ting didn't know anything about it, and now Ming Qianshan was thinking about why this man named Jiang Ting was so hard-headed.

If you don't hold the eldest princess's thighs, you will protect Ming Xueling, I'm afraid that you won't be mentally controlled by Ming Xueling.

"Yes, because of this, I am worried that this Jiang Ting may be difficult to subdue." Somei Road.

"After all, it's a young man, because of the love between men and women, it's not a big deal to get carried away for a while." Nangong Heng shook his head, "It's a big deal, I'll wait for him to be a matchmaker, and I will marry Xue Ling to him." ”

"It's fine." Prince Ming Qi nodded, "This Jiang Ting is from a commoner, and some of them have never seen the world, so I think he will be able to figure this out soon." ”

"And even if he refuses to be among our nobles, I have a way to suppress him." Nangong Heng was calm, and after drinking the tea almost, he refilled another cup by himself, "This enlightenment tea, only I and other nobles can enjoy it, if it is given to those civilians, it will be wasted." ”

"After you go back, please sacrifice the ancestral spirit as soon as possible, only when the ancestral spirit is born, can we gain a firm foothold in this world of spiritual energy recovery." Xiangmei looked at everyone and asked again.

The Twelve Councillors discussed some more things, got up and prepared to leave this place, but at this moment, Nangong Heng was stopped.

"Grandpa." Ming Qianshan saluted respectfully, "Qianshan has something unclear, and I ask my grandfather for guidance." ”

"Why should a thousand mountains be polite." Nangong Hengyi grabbed his hand, "You and my grandson, if you have anything to say, just ask directly." ”

"Hmm...... These days, my father is ill and can't pay attention to the court, and every word and deed of my grandfather and the House of Representatives is in the eyes of Qianshan. ”

Ming Qianshan gritted his teeth, "Dare to ask grandpa, grandpa does this, strong nobles, weak dragons, don't you worry about domestic chaos and being taken advantage of by foreign enemies?" ”

Nangong Heng was stunned for a moment, and then the wrinkles on his face relaxed, he patted Ming Qianshan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Very good, being able to think of this layer means that you are already thinking about things from the perspective of an emperor." ”

"My father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Qianshan does not dare."

"Well, don't always think of us people as old stubborns."

Nangong Heng waved his hand, "Even if it was Long Xiang more than a hundred years ago, the level of technology is no different from now, the computer and mobile phone I used back then, except for the appearance is a little different from yours, the other technologies are exactly the same as yours, and the game is smoother than yours." ”

Ming Qianshan looked at the old man in front of him who was about to sink into the ground, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of separation.

"The female anchors I rewarded back then, and now their granddaughters are older than you...... Ahem, don't talk about that. Seeing that his grandson had a strange expression, Nangong Heng changed the topic.

"I ask you." Nangong Heng opened his mouth with a smile on his face, "Is it better to be the ruler of a mortal country, or to be a cultivator of the immortal martial world?" ”

After speaking, Nangong Heng turned around and left, leaving Ming Qianshan standing in place in a daze.

……

"I'm talking about court." Zhang Xiaoxian leaned on the co-pilot's seat, rolled down the window, and narrowed his eyes.

"Say." Jiang Ting's words were concise and to the point.

"What do you think the Imperial Council is going to do with us?" Perhaps feeling the threat of the cold wind, Zhang Xiaoxian closed his eyes again and pressed the button to close the window.

"You're saying that the Imperial Council might work against you and me?" Jiang Ting frowned, "No, at least for now, in the eyes of the Imperial Council, the two of us are still useful, otherwise it would not have been as simple as recalling the official and returning to his hometown." ”

"Everything is foreseen, and if it is not, it will be wasted, and we have to make some preparations."

"Makes sense." Jiang Ting nodded, reached out and took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, Director?" It was Wen Xi who answered the phone.

"Wen Xi, find a time to arrange and help me take my parents and Director Zhang's parents to Xia Market."

Wen Xi was stunned when he heard this: "Director, you won't be preparing ......"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a precaution." Jiang Ting smiled, "I'm still waiting for the day when I return to the research institute to continue to shine." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to deal with this matter today, you must come back, director......"

"Hmm." Jiang Ting added a little throttle, and then asked Zhang Xiaoxian to hang up the phone.

Because it is a very bad behavior to make and receive phone calls while driving, Zhang Xiaoxian is controlling the process of making a call, and Jiang Ting's hands are not off the steering wheel.

Of course, the action of pulling out his phone was selectively ignored by him.

"If they weren't in a hurry to take action on the two of us, they wouldn't let the two of us unstable factors exist." Zhang Xiaoxian held the folding fan and patted his palm, "I'm fine, but the pressure you have to bear in Jiang Ting may be a little too big." ”

"Why?" Jiang Ting was puzzled.

"The group of people in the Imperial Council have long known that my Dao Foundation has been destroyed and there is no hope for cultivation." Zhang Xiaoxian's eyes were as calm as a pool of water, "But you are different, from the perspective of me, a 'person who has come over', you should be the first in Kyushu in cultivation now." ”

"Won't it?" Jiang Ting spread his hands out, his face stunned.

"Grab the steering wheel first." Zhang Xiaoxian pointed to the steering wheel, "You're not afraid of a car accident, I'm still a mortal." ”

Jiang Ting put his hands back in place: "Just... This? Uh, I mean...... That's how I became the first person in Kyushu? ”

suddenly became the first person in Kyushu in the eyes of the former first person in Kyushu, Jiang Ting looked confused.

"I don't think I'm doing anything, am I?" Jiang Ting recalled that in addition to a few life-and-death fights, he had never swallowed any heavenly treasures, divine medicines, or been taught the Fa by a master in the air.

He wasn't even a martial arts master who had been cultivating since he was a child, but the director of the research institute who became a monk halfway.

"You are the pioneer of the cultivation system in Kyushu." Zhang Xiaoxian was not in a hurry, "This alone is enough to prove your talent." ”

"It's not my fault."

"But this is due to you, and it can even be said that you played a key role, without the guidance of your idea that 'cultivation begins with the soul', Kyushu might not be able to open up a cultivation system now.

When I was a 'supernatural person', there was no talk of a cultivation system, and of course, the concentration of heaven and earth aura at that time was not enough to open up a cultivation system, but during a mission, I learned some rumors. ”

"What rumors?" Jiang Ting became curious.

"The essence of Reiki revival is the revival of Blue Star."

"The resurgence of the Blue Star?" Jiang Ting felt like a repeater.

"These auras weren't born on the Blue Star." Zhang Xiaoxian explained, "Just like those things you studied, in the pre-Qin era, there was already heaven and earth aura on the Blue Star. ”

Jiang Ting nodded, this is a fact recognized by several departments under the Tianshu Management Office.

"In other words, Blue Star once had a great life, but for some reason it fell silent and died." Zhang Xiaoxian took out a bottle of mineral water from the side of his seat, "And now, Blue Star has recovered, and it will regain its glory of the past." ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "A sapling grows into a towering tree, which can give birth to a small ecological environment based on it, such as fungi, insects, and birds...... And if a planet wants to grow again, how much benefit will it bring to the creatures that accompany it? ”

Jiang Ting's heart was shocked: "You mean that people who grew up in the initial era of aura revival will receive additional benefits?!" ”

"What about the extra benefits?" Zhang Xiaoxian looked up at the sky, "The power of an entire planet, casually leaking out of his fingers, is enough for this generation of monks to enjoy."

And, as far as I can speculate, this permanent buff is not only reflected in the speed of cultivation, but may affect the foundation of the monk, and I can't say for sure about this, maybe one day you will only experience this benefit after you have traveled a long way. ”

Jiang Ting nodded, digested the knowledge he had just learned, and frowned again: "But shouldn't this be something that all first-generation monks can enjoy?" What does it have to do with how fast I practice? ”

As an extraterritorial heavenly demon who takes obscene development as his own responsibility, Jiang Ting cares about this matter very much.

"Unlike trees, this world is ......" Zhang Xiaoxian opened his mouth, seeming to hesitate, "I said it was conscious, do you believe it or not?" ”

Jiang Ting: "......"

What you say seems very unscientific.

"You can roughly understand that concepts such as 'God has eyes' and 'Heaven is good for reincarnation', just like rhinoceros and rhino birds, although everyone can't communicate, they have a vague instinctive consciousness." Zhang Xiaoxian took a few words.

Although it is not scientific, if it is explained by the method of Heavenly Dao and Spirit, it seems to make sense in metaphysics.

"So?"

"Therefore, cultivation is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and in addition to absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, which is useless except for cultivation, and does not consume any resources, if I am God's father, I must like cultivators very much."

Zhang Xiaoxian pointed to the sky, and suddenly, there was a "boom", and a thunderstorm sounded in the sky, startling him.

"Good guy, am I leaking the secret?" Zhang Xiaoxian wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, "To put it simply, your cultivation may also be good for Blue Star, and the rise of Blue Star depends on your efforts, and the Kyushu monk was stuck in the neck by the cultivation system before......"

"So, if I open up a cultivation system, can it be regarded as conforming to the will of heaven?" Jiang Ting pointed at himself, "So he was added a buff?" ”

"Well, you're definitely Daddy's favorite cub right now." Zhang Xiaoxian nodded, "Of course, you can also think that this is all nonsense I said to encourage you." ”

Jiang Ting had the urge to throw his little hair out of the car.

But he still had an intuition in his heart, it seemed that Zhang Xiaoxian was still hiding something from him, even if the other party was once the first person in Kyushu, these knowledge about the will of heaven and the revival of aura should not be so familiar to him.
