Volume 13 Kenshin Chapter 16 Matters of the Heart
Two of the five bamboo buildings closest to the square in the Qingyang Mountain Jingshe District are lit up at the moment.
Jiang'an read the Taoist scriptures for a while, felt that his heart was gradually calming, and all distracting thoughts had precipitated, so he let out a long breath, put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at Wu Jie's room from the window.
Their five bamboo buildings belong to the senior brothers of the five generations before and after, among the five people, one soared, two fell, and only he and Wu Xie were alive
The identity of the senior brother is both an honor and a responsibility. As the head of a generation of disciples, he is usually respected and supported by his younger brothers and sisters, and is particularly cared for and cultivated by his elders.
Of course, that is a very dangerous thing, so the senior brothers of Qingyangguan have either gone through countless trials and tribulations and become peerless masters to meet the mighty catastrophe, or they have fallen in battle again and again, and they have never been able to survive to sit down.
Originally, there should be a bamboo building here with an owner, which is the twenty-fifth generation of senior brother Pillow Shi Zhenren. But in the last battle of picking stars, as the head of Qingyangguan, Pillow Stone Zhenren, in order to save his fellow disciples, held his injured body and fought hard against the vast heart demon sect master, although he was driven back, he was also seriously injured and died, in response to a popular saying among the people, the crockpot will inevitably break by the well, and the general will eventually die.
After the death of Pillow Stone Zhenren, Shaoguang Zhenren took over the position of head of the house. And whether in public or private, he made it clear that the next head should be inherited by Jiang An.
But Shogishi himself does not approve, his background is different from others, not only is he not a human race, not even a monster, but a ghost zombie. Although the same sect doesn't mind, if the head of Qingyang Guan is held by a zombie, what will all factions in the world think? What will those who are on the right path think?
According to Jiang An's idea, the position of head should be succeeded by his junior brother Zhang Long, and he should concentrate on assisting him.
However, Shaoguang Zhenren did not give in on this issue, and he even did not hesitate to quarrel with the head of the White Emperor Pavilion Yan who came to persuade him, and he also wanted to protect Jiang'an's inheritance.
Jiang An Zhilu said that Shaoguang Zhenren actually didn't appreciate himself very much, but for this head of the real person, the order of Qingyangguan should be maintained, even if he paid a big price, he would never allow anyone to persecute Qingyangguan disciples for any reason and deprive them of their legitimate rights.
As the twenty-sixth generation elder brother, he has been conscientious for hundreds of years and has never made any mistakes, and Shogishi should have the highest priority inheritance among his peers. Even if Shaoguang Zhenren doesn't like him, even if many people are jealous of him, even if many people in the righteous path will laugh at Qingyang because of this, they can't deprive him of his rights
Even if Jiang An himself wanted to refuse, in the eyes of Shaoguang Zhenren, Jiang An was obviously forced by the situation to give up his inheritance. As the head of the contemporary sect, he should resist the pressure from all sides and resolutely safeguard the legitimate interests of his disciples
This problem made Shogishi fidget, and until today, he finally saw a ray of light.
As Patriarch Zhang said, if after the ascension of the Supreme Patriarch, the cultivation of the twenty-seventh generation senior brother Wu Xie came from behind, surpassing all the twenty-sixth generation disciples, then it is completely feasible for him to skip one term and directly inherit the position of the head of the family.
This approach can't be said to be very good, but at least it can avoid the trouble caused by Jiang'an's succession, and it is a better choice for Qingyangguan, for the right path of the world, and even for Jiang'an himself.
But there's another problem...... For Wu Jie, isn't it?
Jiang An stared at the flickering firelight in Wu Jie's bamboo building, and fell into deep thought.
Of course, Wu Xie didn't know that Lu Dao himself was actually involved in the inheritance of the head of Qingyang Guan, although he should indeed become the head of the family, but it was said that it would happen hundreds of years later, when the twenty-fourth generation of ancestors soared.
Therefore, he was concentrating on cultivation at the moment, stabilizing his Ning Yuan cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, he transformed his mana into a steady stream of fire, then slowly exhaled it.
A crimson flame surrounded him, slowly condensing, and turned into a red-clothed young man with the same figure and appearance as him, but with red eyebrows and red hair, looking at him calmly.
This is his flame incarnation, although it is not as capable of divine consciousness differentiation as in the legend, as if one person has become two people, but it also has many wonderful supernatural powers, and it is very convenient.
Seeing that the flame incarnation himself was close at hand, Wu Xie couldn't help but think of some novels he had read in his previous life, and couldn't help but stand up with a smile and nod to the flame incarnation.
"I've seen fellow Daoists."
But the flame avatar didn't react at all, and still stood there silent, motionless.
This is a matter of course, he seems to be a person, but in fact it is just a condensed flame, and the intelligent core in it is just some relatively simple instructions. Although he can go into battle to kill enemies and cast a lot of fire spells, it is completely impossible to make him speak like a normal person
…… If he can really answer Wu Xie according to his own will, then Wu Xie will be shocked
"Hey, I have a good idea," Du Ruo suddenly said happily, "Fourth, can you make me a body out of flames?" ”
"Of course you can, but what's the point?" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and asked, "Since you have absorbed enough Hellfire in the Netherworld Realm, you have been able to manifest in the daytime. Although all kinds of magical powers cannot be used under the sun, just like mortals; But at least it won't be wiped out by the sun's rays...... Isn't that enough? ”
"There are always a lot of inconveniences in the ghost body, and my soul state can't be resurrected, so I have to find a new body similar to a ghost, I think this flame incarnation is very suitable," Du Ruo said excitedly, "Moreover, I can also hide in the fire department heavenly soldiers you made, help you command when necessary, or jump out of a group of fire department heavenly soldiers to sneak up on the enemy...... It's easy to look at it anyway."
“…… If you can't even defeat the Fire Celestial Soldiers, you go up and sneak attack...... Isn't that tantamount to death? It's better to let the fire department heavenly soldiers stand on it, let's run away quickly. ”
"You really don't know how to imagine it at all" Du Ruo's idea was ruthlessly broken by Wu Jie, and he was suddenly a little annoyed and angry, "Anyway, quickly create a flame incarnation for me"
Seeing that she was so resolute, Wu Xie condensed a lot of flames and created such an incarnation of flames for her.
In order to facilitate Du Ruo's possession, the core of this flame incarnation is the earthly incense of faith. Belief in incense needs to be based on merit to be refined, but fortunately, Wu Xie actually has some incense in the world, and Wu Xie has helped the poor for decades, killed demons and eliminated demons, and guarded the peace of Zhaoyang County; He has also made outstanding contributions to medicine and agriculture, and now there are people in Zhaoyang County and even in many places in the Great Chu Kingdom to worship his tablet and pray to him for blessings.
Wu Xie has been collecting these incense sticks of faith, but he never tries to absorb the merits and wills contained in them, and the interests and responsibilities have always been linked, and if he absorbs the merits and wishes of these incense of faith, he must take responsibility and help those believers who pray to fulfill their wishes, or at least provide them with some spiritual comfort.
This is the way of Shinto rather than the way of immortals, and Wu Xie never intended to become a god, so he naturally stayed away from it.
But if these incense are given to Du Ruo to shape his body, there is no problem Du Ruo usually lives in the Heavenly Book World Realm, and the Heavenly Book World Realm is isolated from all worlds, and the karma power or anything can't fall on her, don't worry.
When the flame incarnation that was more golden than red took shape, Du Ruo rushed out impatiently and pounced directly.
The light flashed, and the eyes of the flame incarnation suddenly appeared with a sense of agility. She twisted her neck and shook her hands and feet, a little uncomfortable at first, but soon took full control of the body and happily ran around the house.
"With such a body, I can fight with peace of mind, and I don't have to worry about dragging you back."
Wu Xie realized her intentions and couldn't help but smile.
But at this time, Du Xin, the atmosphere killer, said in his usual calm tone, without any inhibition at all: "He is already a master of Ning Yuan, and you are not even in the realm of refining gang." I think if you get involved in his fight, you'll still have to drag your feet. ”
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the difference in strength between them, and his excitement disappeared.
Before Wu Xie could persuade her, she had already returned to the Heavenly Book World Realm with the True Flame Incarnation, and then threw the incarnation aside, and the Ghost True Body quickly rushed into her black soil Yin Well, still shouting, "I want to double my cultivation"
Wu Xie hesitated, but still didn't say anything.
In his opinion, Du Ruo was almost the most diligent cultivator in the world, but she had not yet broken through the realm of refining...... This is definitely not a problem of cultivation, but a problem with the state of mind.
But...... How to adjust the state of mind for the cultivation of ghosts?
In this regard, even the well-informed Demon Dao Grand Master Jasmine had no clue at all.
Therefore, for the time being, Du Ruo could only bury his head in cultivation and wait for the opportunity to break through.
…… Wu Xie himself also needs to immerse himself in cultivation.
After breaking through to the Ning Yuan realm, many spells and supernatural powers can be cultivated, and many lessons owed in the past must be made up one by one.
There are two things that are most important to him right now.
The first is to warm and nourish the Heaven and Earth Flood Furnace that has just been successfully refined, and it is not until the Yuan Spirit in it is completely stabilized that this magic weapon can be regarded as truly practically usable.
The second thing is to go back and cultivate the four spiritual recipes of the Fire Department Fa-rectification one by one. In fact, these four spiritual recipes originally needed to reach the realm of Ning Yuan in order to meet the basic requirements. In the past, Wu Xie relied on the support of the Heavenly Book World Realm to be able to display them in advance. But that's not the right way to go...... If you want to truly grasp the essence of the four spiritual techniques, you still have to follow the traditional method and completely rely on your own cultivation to practice them one by one
He calmed down, took a deep breath, sat down, and began to concentrate on cultivation.
