Chapter 8: The Moon at Sea

"Good jade!"

Good jade, of course.

Don't talk about jade, at that time, it was a piece of clothing that Jiang Ning was wearing casually, and it was worth hundreds of ringing coins!

"At that time, in addition to this jade pendant, I also had a pair of jade bracelets, that pair of jade bracelets were worth a lot of money, I was still young at the time, a few soldiers bullied me young, in desperation, I used a pair of jade bracelets, only to redeem Aunt Li and Xiaomeng, just let Aunt Li take care of my father-in-law for me. ”

Jiang Ning does not regret it.

Although the pair of jade bracelets is expensive, the jade is valuable, and human life is priceless.

Originally, seeing the mother and daughter of the Li family living a hellish life in the Dao family, Jiang Ning still felt sorry. Now that Aunt Li has a wine shop and Li Meng has entered the sect, Jiang Ning no longer regrets his original move.

Dao Hanqing understood.

Before Jiang Ning didn't take the money to redeem Aunt Li's mother and daughter for the second time, if Aunt Li's mother and daughter were slaves, strictly speaking, they were only Jiang Ning's slaves, because the money to buy them was still from Jiang Ning.

That's the real truth!

"Second brother, do you hate Da Yue?" This was so embarrassing, Dao Hanqing wanted to cover his face, and he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Big brother, do you hate the soldiers and civilians of Taiping City?"

"In order to conquer the Tang State, the imperial court mobilized almost half of the country's army to the south. When my mother was pregnant with me, my father and his subordinates were transferred to the south. When I was a child, I used to be held by my mother, looking south, imagining what my father would look like. It wasn't until I was twelve years old that my father returned, not as I imagined, but bedridden. Sometimes I also think that if the soldiers and civilians of Taiping City had lived up to their stubborn resistance, my father would not have been injured, and if he had not been injured, he would not have died young. But then I also thought clearly, how can there be no casualties when the two countries go to war?"

"It's the same, the situation in Taiping City back then was very complicated......"

Back then, tens of millions of elite soldiers of the Great Moon Empire were surging, and the Tang army was defeated and retreated.

Jiang Ning's grandfather was the most important gateway of the Tang State at that time, the governor of Taiping Prefecture and the general of the governor, who controlled the military and political power of Taiping Prefecture, gathered the wisdom of the generals, and came up with a way. First of all, Taiping Prefecture and nearby states were all fortified and cleared, and then used the important geographical location of Taiping City in the Tang Kingdom to attract the main army of the Dayue Dynasty and drag them outside Taiping City to engage in a protracted war of attrition.

If it can't be conquered for a long time, the morale of the Yue Dynasty army will inevitably be low, and the Tang State will send another death squad to copy from a small road east of Taiping Prefecture to the rear and burn the logistics supply of the Dayue army.

The Great Monk can avoid the valley, but how many Great Monks can there be in the Great Moon Army, the morale is low, and there is no logistics, the Great Moon Army will collapse without a fight. The Tang State could turn defeat into victory and calmly regain lost territory.

For this reason, Jiang Ning's father gathered all the troops in Quanzhou and even several states near Taiping Prefecture into Taiping City, including the main combat forces of the Jiang family, all of which were left in Taiping City.

Unexpectedly, Lord Tang was mediocre, and sent Si Daoyuan, who was timid in the Si family, to serve as the chief general of other armies.

Nearly sixty percent of Dayue's army gathered under Taiping City, besieging the city for many days, far exceeding the agreed time, Si Daoyuan just didn't dare to lead the army from that path to the rear to burn the supplies of Dayue's army.

Jiang Ning's grandfather felt that something was wrong, but the Great Moon army besieged Taiping City to the ground, and no one could escape.

On that day, the Great Moon Army used more than 400 human immortals, as well as more than 2,000 Xuan Fetuses, Spirit Infants, and more than 20,000 monks above the True Xuan Stage to assemble a super battle array and bombard the Taiping City Wall.

Jiang Ning still remembered the terrifying scene that day, at that moment, it seemed that half of the sky was torn apart by this earth-shattering blow, and the tall and strong Taiping city wall in the distance, including the countless soldiers on the city wall, was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. The surrounding city walls and houses within a range of more than ten miles were also bombarded by the shock wave, and then the dense Dayue army was like a terrifying devil and slaughtered into Taiping City.

After the destruction of Taiping City, the Tang army surrendered, and Si Daoyuan also led the army to surrender, and became a high-ranking official of the Dayue Dynasty.

As a child of the Jiang family, Jiang Ning did not say anything, and Jiang Ning said the rest.

"This is the inside story I saw when I was sorting out the documents for the city lord Ye in the city lord's mansion, Taiping City was broken, my whole family was killed, who do you say I hate? Hate Si Daoyuan, or the bigger Jin family, do I have that qualification?"

"If you are together for a long time, you will be divided for a long time...... You can say that again. ”

"Don't say that I, Aunt Li's husband and family, were also all killed, who can they hate?"

"Second brother, why didn't you say it before?"

"Did I dare to say it before? If I say it without self-preservation, I am afraid that I will die faster when your uncles are angry. I can't tell your family clearly, although I was once worse than dead, I have to remember the adoption grace of my father-in-law. But your family owes Aunt Li, not for Aunt Li to serve all the way, I'm afraid that my father-in-law died of a serious illness before he returned to Licheng. However, after the death of your stepfather, how did your family treat Aunt Li's mother and daughter?"

"Grandmother ......"

The two righteous brothers did not differ much in their views on the battle of Taiping City.

When the two countries are at war, there will be casualties, and there can be no talk of love or hatred.

I have to talk about it, the current head of the Jin family has to bear a lot of responsibility, and he has already attacked Taiping City, so why should he issue an order to slaughter the city? How many ordinary people were in the city at that time?

In fact, the money to ransom Aunt Li's mother was not taken out by Jiang Ning, and with Aunt Li's care for the knife along the way, the Dao family could not abuse Aunt Li's mother and daughter. So one day, a subordinate of the knife insurance came to the wine shop for dinner and scolded: "The conscience of the knife family has been eaten by the dog." ”

"Big brother, I say this, I just want to remind you that you still look at blood relatives, but those people in your family will not treat you as relatives. Whatever you do, you have to be careful, especially tonight, you can't let them know. ”

"Rest assured, but ...... It's dangerous. ”

"Big brother, it's okay, I'll act when I see the opportunity, so you must pay attention, and you must not let the Xiong family have the slightest suspicion. ”

"Xiaomeng is already born. ”

Jiang Ning's risky action tonight is related to whether Li Meng can quickly break through the innate nature, and second, it is related to Dao Hanqing's future.

Dao Hanqing was just suppressed a little, and Li Meng was the most important one by nature.

Li Meng broke through to the innate in advance, so he didn't have to be in such a hurry, at least he didn't have to take such a big risk.

"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. ”

Jiang Ning insisted on continuing, what else could Dao Hanqing say, so he had to repeatedly say be careful, and then left worriedly.

......

The territory of the Great Moon Dynasty is extremely vast, and it is not as large as the Great Yan Empire a thousand years ago.

It is said that the people of the Great Yan Empire reached more than 100 billion households a thousand years ago, and the people of the Great Yan Empire withered in ten years of war, and it will definitely not be able to recover in ten years. Today, the Great Moon Dynasty has less than 20 billion households......

In this world, since there are powerful monks, there are also powerful all kinds of fierce beasts and demon beasts, and there are some people who practice cruel magic skills, as well as some bandits, so human beings live in many cities, from the state city to the prefecture city and then to the county town, even the people in the suburbs also live in forts, and the large villages often have nearly a thousand households, and the small villages will also have dozens of families and hundreds of people.

Therefore, the area of each city is often very large, and the population has withered, and many cities will be empty, and the same is true for Licheng.

The circumference of the city wall reached nearly seventy miles, and when he was a child, Jiang Ning used to boredly "unify" the unit of measurement of the two worlds, if it is one meter from an adult's right shoulder to the fingertips of his left hand, this huge world, one mile is about eight or nine hundred meters.

The city is so big, the population of the entire Licheng, including the various desolate tribes, is only more than 200,000 households, and there are only more than 100,000 households living in the city, and nearly half of them are empty.

In the southeast of Licheng, there is a big lake, called Crescent Lake, there are more than a dozen beautiful peaks by the lake, and the three mountain gates are located here.

There are also large hills near Sanshanmen, the north side of the hill is a horse flat river, the Qingwei River flows like a beautiful girl gurgling through, it is also the best place in the whole city, the various families and rich people in the city basically live in this area, and it is also the place where the commercial atmosphere of Licheng is the most developed.

Further west is the common people's residence, the city lord's mansion is located between the two, and then to the north, there are various workshop areas and military camps, the workshop area used to be a real poor area, and then to the north of the city, there is a large open space, and there is no vacancy, and there are many kinds of crops or fruits and vegetables. The people take food as the sky, one and the same, even if they can avoid the valley, they occasionally satisfy their cravings.

The small mansion that Jiang Ning bought was just west of the City Lord's Mansion, not too far away, less than six hundred steps, and the purchase of this mansion at that time was not for the sake of being close to duty, but for the sake of safety.

Nearly 100 steps to the west, is the liquor shop purchased by Jiangning. There were also several undulating hills behind the house, all of which were not high, the highest hill was no more than thirty or forty feet, and it was covered with lush green trees.

Jiang Ning sat on the top of a small hill and contemplated the bright moon.

Ongoing ...... That is to say, metaphysical cultivation, the first step on the road of cultivation is to visualize, and if the visualization is successful, it will lead the spirit into the body, which is called the yellow bud. Breaking away a gap between the tail and the ground holes, and connecting the meridians and grooves, it is said to be a half-step innate. It is said that it is innate to break through the cracks of the door, plant the pure qi in the Jinghai, and ignite the first Xuanhuo. When the cultivation reaches the enlightenment, the seven key points of the earth gate, the human gate, the middle gate of the Jiang Palace, the throat building door, the front door of the forehead, the back door of the head, and the Tianmen of the Mud Pill Palace are completely opened, and the three corpses turn into gods, the gods and mysteries are one, and the spirit baby is formed, then there will be a great magic power like moving mountains and seas, of course, the Mud Pill Palace is very weak, and it will also attract ominous, and it is a very dangerous process to impact the Tianmen Acupoint, and the loser will be seriously injured or killed.

The specific Jiang Ning is not very clear.

The aura enters the body, the pure qi is cleared, and the turbidity is discharged, which is called Xiao Zhoutian. The clear qi is planted into the essence sea qi sea god sea, and the turbid gas is discharged, which is called the three major weeks.

Now Jiang Ning is not even a half-step innate, so he can't talk about Zhou Tian.

Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Jiang Ning slowly contemplated.

An endless black sea appeared in front of his eyes, and suddenly a bright moon rose from the end of the sea, and in an instant the entire sea surface was covered with a soft glow.

Jiang Ning took a long breath, Jiang Ning introduced it into the twelve-story building under his throat, and pressed it into the two meridians and two meridians.

This is the Jiang family's sea moon exercise.

Although Mingyue is soft, this set of exercises is actually very domineering. What an earth-shattering power it is to break through the boundless sea.

When Jiang Ning came into contact with this set of exercises, he was still young, only four years old, and he actually quickly visualized success, and Huang Bu entered the body, but let his father stop it, because this set of exercises was domineering, and the bone meridians were very tender when he was four years old.

His father also said that if he was less than seven years old, he could not cultivate, and even if he cultivated at the age of seven, it was relatively early. Therefore, under the guidance of his parents and eldest brother, it is nothing more than learning some fist and foot kung fu to strengthen his body. But I didn't expect that in just one year, my family was ruined......

A breath of cold air entered his body, and Jiang Ning also felt a trace of "yellow buds" sliding from the twelve-story building to the two meridians and two meridians like a mouse, but when it reached his chest, this yellow bud gradually disappeared.

"Again......

Cultivation is a long and boring process, without yellow buds entering the body, the meridians are closed and turbid, and mortals are one. Only after the spirit is introduced into the body, the meridians are opened a gap, and the yellow buds of the meridians are gathered in the earth's door stealing points, and the two qi rush together, so that the earth's door tricks can be broken open a small opening, and a half-step innate step can be entered.

This is not something that can be succeeded overnight, but it has been almost ten years, and even Jiang Ning has a good temper, and he is slowly losing patience.

After a long time, Jiang Ning stood up.

He stared in the southeast direction.

Because of special reasons, he was born not long ago, he can speak, but also "sensible", two years old began to read and write, others to visualize the spirit often takes several months, and even nearly five adults are not talented, can not be introduced into the body, can only be an ordinary mortal for the rest of his life. Even for people with good talents like his brother and Li Meng, it would take ten days and half a month, but when he was five years old, he successfully visualized the spirit in only half an hour, which frightened his family.

At that time, the people of the entire Taiping City said that he would be a rare genius of the Jiang family for a thousand years in the future, and Jiang Ning himself was a little proud.

"Mother, what is Huang Ya?"

"People are like seeds, with different qualifications. Some seeds can grow into towering trees, some seeds can only grow into a small flower, and some seeds are dead seeds. Visualization is to feel the spirit, through breathing, although it continues to breathe, but after feeling the spirit, it can incorporate a trace of the essence of heaven and earth into the meridians......"

Jiang Ning can figure this out better.

It may be that the breathing effect of this world is still the same, completing a series of oxidation reactions, but because the air composition of the two worlds is different, this world has an additional "aura", and the process of cultivation is to incorporate this aura into the physical body to achieve the goal of improving and strengthening the physical body.

However, if the qualifications of the "seed" are not good, it will not be able to feel the spirit, and if it cannot feel the spirit, it will not be able to attract the spirit, and the visualization will play the role of a catalyst.

"Ning'er, this trace of aura is a yellow bud, which can sense the spirit and attract the spirit, and the seed has begun to grow officially, but the bud head is very small and tender. ”

"Mother, I will quickly turn it into a small stream and a big river. ”

"Ning'er, the Sea Bright Moon Gong is very domineering, and you can't practice if you are less than seven years old. You see, it takes a few months for others to visualize and succeed and attract the spirit into the body, but you can attract the spirit into the body in half an hour, and the talent is so good, why are you in a hurry? Jiang Ning's father said.

"Father, mother, you are also mistaken, I am not a genius, but a waste. ”
