Chapter 2: Hypnotic Dreams
It's the truth.
Although Chen Jiangnian is only in the Returning Yuan Realm at present, he has a sword in his hand.
Although it has been corrupted by the Falling God for nearly 100,000 years, the power is probably less than one ...... But that's also god-level power.
That sharpness alone is by no means something that the characters of the spiritual realm can compete with.
What's more, at the critical moment, Chen Jiangnian can still infuse the true yuan and stimulate the power in it?
Chen Jiangnian estimated that in the cultivation of the third realm and even the fourth realm, I am afraid that there is no strength that can compete with the remnant sword of the first master.
Coupled with the 'Void Divine Concealment' body......
Oneness?
Chen Jiangnian really couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to kill them.
However, Chen Jiangnian didn't elaborate, seeing that Luo Junlan was a little stunned, he just smiled.
"Okay, Brother Jiang, you can be sure...... When are you going to leave, big brother? ”
Chen Jiangnian looked at Jiang Qixie's memories and found that the distance from Wanliu City to Shangjing was really not close. It takes a month to pass normally.
However, if it is not at any cost, at Chen Jiangnian's current speed, it can be reached within three days.
"Don't worry, there are still three months until September, let's talk about it then." Chen Jiangnian thought for a while and said.
Luo Junlan nodded when he heard this, and did not speak again.
A dinner was very warm, and after eating dinner and teasing Xiyue and Muyang, Chen Jiangnian left the room and walked into the courtyard.
Looking at the moonlight, this busy day has finally passed.
But after a while, Chen Jiangnian's expression moved, and he turned his head.
A young man with a pale face stood behind him.
When Chen Jiangnian turned around, the young man pursed his bloodless lips, and then fell to his knees.
"Father-in-law."
Jiang Qingyun.
Jiang is the righteous son of evil.
During the day, he fell into a coma, was taken away by Long Suirong for treatment, and now he has come to his senses, but the first time he came to Chen Jiangnian.
After reading Jiang Qixie's memory, Chen Jiangnian knew that this Jiang Qingyun was a hard-working person. And because of the tragedy back then, this young man was very silent. However, he has great respect for Jiang Qixie's father-in-law.
He was very diligent in his practice. And the talent is also very good. At a young age, he has already opened up the spiritual sea and has given birth to spiritual consciousness.
That is, the 'Spirit Sea Realm' of the first realm.
The vast majority of sergeants in the Hefu army are a cultivator.
That's very, very good for an eighteen-year-old.
"Get up, how's your body?"
Thinking back to some of the behaviors and habits that Jiang Qixie came into contact with the teenager, Chen Jiangnian asked with a smile.
"It's fine."
The boy knelt and spoke, but did not get up.
Chen Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why don't you get up?" ”
The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally buried his head and said, "Mr. Fang Cailong told Qingyun about what happened in the past few days...... Father-in-law, it was Qingyun who caused trouble, and also affected his aunt and two younger sisters. Qingyun ...... Ask the Father-in-law to punish him. ”
Is this a plea?
Chen Jiangnian smiled.
"Get up, this is none of your business. Even without you, Lingzen Peak would have thought of other ways. He's targeting me, you're a yellow-haired boy, what's worth calculating with him? ”
Chen Jiangnian smiled casually.
After the boy was stunned for a moment, he was silent for a while, but finally said respectfully: "Yes." ”
He struggled to his feet.
It seems that Ling Chanfeng was a bit heavy in order to prevent him from confronting Luo Junlan that day.
Looking at the young man who stood up, Chen Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, this young man is very handsome, although he is seriously injured now, but the whole person does not feel weak, but has a kind of sharp temperament.
Chen Jiangnian subconsciously looked at it a few more times, and suddenly raised his eyebrows......
This young man seems to have a bit of a natural sword bone......
He squinted his eyes for a moment, then asked, "How was your cultivation during this time?" ”
Hearing Chen Jiangnian's question about cultivation, the young man replied respectfully: "Since his father-in-law left, Qingyun didn't dare to slack off for a day. But...... Qingyun is reckless, and although there has been some progress, there has been little progress. For potential, there is always no way. ”
"Oh?"
Chen Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, looked at Jiang Qixie's memory, and found that the exercises practiced by the young man were the exercises that Jiang Qixie had found in the spiritual realm.
Chen Jiangnian thought about it, but finally said with a smile: "The comprehension of 'potential' is not overnight, but it can't be sought. Just take your time. ”
He had some thoughts in his mind, but he was going to wait and see.
"Yes." The teenager responded respectfully.
Just as he was about to say something, Chen Jiangnian's expression suddenly moved, and he looked behind him, it was Taohong coming.
"Sir."
Peach called respectfully.
Chen Jiangnian nodded, looked behind Taohong, and then said to the young man: "Okay, go down and recuperate." When it comes to spiritual practice, don't be impatient. ”
"Yes." Jiang Qingyun replied respectfully.
After Chen Jiangnian nodded, he turned to leave, his steps still slightly vague.
After seeing him go away, Chen Jiangnian looked at Taohong: "What's wrong?" ”
"General He, they ask to see the city lord."
Peach replied hurriedly.
Generally speaking, the inner government is not allowed to enter casually, and today during the day, I was forced to helpless, and those generals of the government army came in.
Now that the matter should be dealt with is almost done, naturally Chen Jiangnian's order is not guaranteed, and he does not dare to come in at will.
After nodding, Chen Jiangnian walked in the direction of the martial arts arena.
"See the Castle Lord."
When Chen Jiangnian came to the martial arts arena, the generals who were whispering suddenly stopped and bowed to Chen Jiangnian.
This kind of great ceremony is only used on some special and formal occasions, and when you meet in such a normal way, most of them still bow down and bow your hands.
"The city lord, the spirit family, has been expelled from Wanliu City. Including the slaves, there were 1,482 in all, and they were ...... because the lord of the city had spoken first, and not in Zhulian."
He Chao respectfully reported today's events to Chen Jiangnian. Including how many people were killed and so on.
Chen Jiangnian listened calmly, and finally nodded and said, "Good job." What else? ”
"And then there's the resettlement of the families of the deceased brothers......
He Chao reported again.
Chen Jiangnian told them to come up with a charter, and several generals discussed it today, and reported at this moment.
Chen Jiangnian listened quietly, did not interrupt them, and waited for them to finish their reports, then said: "Money is something outside the body, let's double the pension." The rest will do as you say. ”
This sentence made the generals of the government army stunned for a moment, the pension they formulated was already very generous, but they didn't expect the city lord to double it directly in one sentence, and suddenly their eyes showed a little gratitude.
"Yes."
In the end, He Chao took a deep breath and replied respectfully.
Chen Jiangnian naturally saw the gratitude in their eyes, but he didn't feel anything.
He saw the performance of these government troops today, and he really fought to the death for the city lord's mansion.
People are willing to give you their lives, what is a little outside the body?
Chen Jiangnian is not a miser.
However, looking at Jiang Qixie's memory, I found that he seemed to be a bit wealthy...... Although the monthly salary of the sergeant of the government army is not low, it is definitely not high.
If you want to buy people's hearts, you can't buy the dead and the living don't care, right?
At that moment, Chen Jiangnian said: "At the same time, from now on, the government army will be raised by one level. ”
This sentence made He Chao and other generals' expressions slightly moved.
You must know that their monthly salary is very high. Now it is raised by one level, and that is the huge wealth that they are also quite tempted to make.
At the moment, everyone was grateful and thanked again.
Chen Jiangnian also nodded with satisfaction, this wave of buying people's hearts was very successful.
After that, he chatted with a few more generals and told him about the finishing work, and then turned around and entered the inner mansion.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, Chen Jiangnian went to Xiyue's new room to take a look, and heard three breathing sounds inside, two of which were very soothing, obviously asleep. The other didn't fall asleep.
It should be Luo Junlan.
Muyang, this girl doesn't talk much, she said that she would sleep with her father today......
Thinking of Muyang and Xiyue, the corners of Chen Jiangnian's mouth couldn't help but show a little smile.
These two girls are like angels, with them chattering in their ears, and life is quite comfortable.
Although it was only half a day's work, the instinct of this body still made him like these two girls from the bottom of his heart.
"It's good."
Thinking about it, he didn't bother them, and turned to go to his room.
Chen Jiangnian's room was naturally the largest and most luxurious in the inner mansion, and when he returned to the room, he found that several maids were busy inside, and the room was also full of lights.
Seeing Chen Jiangnian, these maids hurriedly stopped their movements and bowed their heads respectfully: "Master." ”
Chen Jiangnian smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Jiangnian's sudden greeting made a few maids a little unsure of how to respond, and they stayed there stupidly, looking a little at a loss.
Chen Jiangnian came back to his senses at this time, and his current identity is not his previous life. In his capacity, it would be too serious to say this to these maids.
He shook his head and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, let's go down and rest." ”
Seeing Chen Jiangnian say this, these maids came back to their senses and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
Soon, the maids retreated.
They were obviously cleaning Chen Jiangnian's room just now.
He has been gone for more than half a year, although Luo Junlan ordered someone to clean the room every day, but now that the person has really returned, he still subconsciously carried out another cleaning.
Walking into the room, looking at the unfamiliar and somewhat familiar room, Chen Jiangnian let out a breath and stood at the window and looked up at the bright moon outside the window.
After a long time, he exhaled lightly.
"Well, since it's been decided, let's do it to the end. From today on, I will be Jiang but evil. This home is my home. ”
There was a hint of relief in his eyes.
In 100,000 years, the former family has long since disappeared.
Although he decided to live with Jiang Qixie's identity from the beginning, after all, Jiang Qixie's memory is Jiang Qixie's, and he himself has not really seen these 'family members', so he has a sense of alienation after all.
And today, he encountered so many things, and he didn't have time to think more.
But now, especially the dinner in the evening, Chen Jiangnian felt that the sense of alienation had disappeared.
Is it because of Jiang Qi's evil body instinct?
I don't know.
And Chen Jiangnian doesn't intend to delve into where this feeling comes from.
Because for him, none of this matters.
ImportantYes......
He felt at home in this 'home'.
All the people in this 'family' need him. And they trust him unreservedly!
This feeling of being needed and trusted is exactly what he lacks.
So......
Anything else is heavier?
Thinking of this, he smiled and took a deep breath.
"Well, this world is still very dangerous, but in order to make this 'home' good, you have to work hard to cultivate."
For a while, he was full of motivation in his heart.
Turn around, walk to bed, sit cross-legged, and close your eyes......
"Well, let's start working on the 'Alchemy Technique'. After the refining technique is successful, my spiritual veins can be greatly accelerated. ”
As a result, many patterns related to the 'quenching technique' began to appear in Chen Jiangnian's mind, and he began to seriously study and copy them......
……
……
When Chen Jiangnian was practicing hard, Luo Junlan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep.
Muyang and Xiyue had already hugged each other and slept very sweetly. But her mind kept coming up with what was happening today.
Especially when Jiang Qixie's handsome and gentle face appeared, her face was slightly hot.
Thinking of the amazed gaze he cast at him when he teased Mu Yang and Xiyue today, Luo Junlan's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Big brother, that look in his eyes is really wrong!"
Her eyes wandered, and she thought intently.
"Isn't he ...... big brother?"
When he thought of something, Luo Junlan's eyes suddenly lit up, and an amazing joy and expectation appeared.
But just a moment later, she shook her head fiercely: "No, no, Luo Junlan, Luo Junlan, you are too ashamed!" Impossible! The eldest brother has such a deep affection for his sister, you don't know it...... How can they have thoughts about you? It's the best thing for the eldest brother to come back. What else do you not be satisfied with? ”
She admonished herself harshly.
Gradually, her eyes became a little gloomy, and finally, she bit her lip lightly and sighed softly.
Then, at some point, she closed her eyes and fell asleep......
