Familiar sofas.

Jiang He opened his eyes and looked at the Book of Heroic Souls.

The pages on the right are converging, rehashing everything he had just experienced.

"I thought I was encountering a fox who fed on essence, so I made all kinds of preparations, and personally intervened to replenish my physical strength, but it all failed......

The opportunity to interfere is not wasted.

Before personally intervening, no one knew if what they encountered was a man-eating demon or a relative's spirit beast-

Especially in the case of the painter dying of the loss of energy, it may be a waste of an opportunity to interfere by personally intervening.

If you don't interfere, you will be killed on the spot if you encounter the slightest danger with only half a breath left, and you will directly waste a simulation opportunity.

It is clear which is more important at a glance.

"However, with experience, at the beginning of next week, when you encounter this fox demon again, you don't have to be so nervous."

The text on the right side of the page has been transformed.

A new line of content emerges on it.

Jiang He retracted his thoughts and prepared to harvest a new wave of exercises.

His eyes were on the page, but he frowned slightly.

[1337 year of the Meng calendar, the eleventh day of the month of Lan]

[You spent four months, walking through several states, and finally reached the imperial capital. 】

[The imperial capital is prosperous, compared to the glory of the capital, it is not worse at all, you secretly cast the Dao method, wanting to attract the demonic energy, seeing that there is no reaction, you are relieved. 】

[Because there is not much left, you go to the Yongle Taoist Temple, please recommend the Taoist, and want to visit the Lord and seek knowledge. 】

[The guide thinks you are poor and sour, and does not listen to what you say, and drives you out. 】

[You stand outside the Yongle Taoist Temple, and when you see people coming in and out, they are either rich or expensive, and you are suddenly surprised. 】

Jiang He rubbed his brows.

That's embarrassing.

This Meng Dynasty has the most noble status and the most famous, and it is even directly opened in the imperial capital, and even the emperor relies on the Yongle Taoist Temple.

It is different from the two great avenues of immortality and heavenly master in the future.

It turned out to be a Taoist temple that was obsessed with power and money, and was extremely snobbish.

Jiang He originally thought that with his profound Taoist attainments, as long as he showed his talent a little and created a genius character, he could easily enter the Taoist temple.

Whether it's the top Dao Sutra or the Dao Dharma of this world, all of them are taken and demanded.

Entering the Taoist temple is as comfortable as going home.

Outcome......

Before he could start talking about it, he was rejected because he was too poor and sour.

"No wonder this Yongle Taoist Temple will be set up in the imperial capital, and it can be set up in the imperial capital......"

"Compared with cultivating, most of them pay more attention to the power of the mortal world, and provide services to those high-ranking officials and nobles......"

Jiang He shook his head, but he was not too indignant.

At the end of the Dharma era, the immortal road was cut off, and although the cultivation path could prolong life, it could not become an immortal.

It is not incomprehensible that some people change their minds and no longer pursue higher knowledge and attainments, and pay more attention to the enjoyment of the moment.

In fact, the Rong Dynasty and the Jing Dynasty were not without similar Taoist temples.

It's just that it's far less famous than the Immortal and Heavenly Master Taoist Temples, and it's just that their inheritance is not as long.

When it came to the Meng Dynasty, the situation was completely reversed.

Other Taoist temples were lost due to the turmoil of the previous dynasty.

On the contrary, it was the Yongle Taoist temple that focused on the power of the mortal world and became the leader of Taoism.

"That's it, if you don't teach, don't teach."

Jiang He shook his head.

Although he didn't like this approach of the Yongle Taoist Temple, the inheritance was the inheritance of the other party after all.

At best, he disdained to be with him, and he didn't want to take the inheritance by force.

Secondly, although the immortal Dao Sutra cultivated by Jiang He was not the top Dao Sutra in the Meng Dynasty, it was also first-class, and it could not be garbage.

With full proficiency and experience from multiple retakes.

Although his growth is a little slower than that of the top Dao Sutra, as long as it takes a little more time and adds his rich combat experience.

can still become the world's top master.

Since you can't take the exercises first, then you should practice hard first.

When the strength comes up, you can dominate the world, and you can naturally do whatever you want.

Jiang He couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"In other words, is this considered thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty?"

"The next step is to go to the cloud...... Cough. ”

Laugh at the smile.

Jiang He was kicked out by the Taoist temple, and there was not much entanglement on his body.

Originally, I planned to leave directly, find another place to practice in seclusion, and hang up and brush up for a few decades of cultivation.

Unexpectedly, not far after going out, he was chased by a teenager in a Taoist uniform.

He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had just tied his hair for a short time, but he looked young and old, and he spoke very methodically and maturely.

Jiang He was still curious about his intention.

But he saw that the young man saluted and handed over some silver taels.

[The young man's name is Yan Chicheng, and he is a person from Yongle Taoism. 】

[He chased you, apologized, and gave you some entanglement as travel expenses, I hope you don't blame the teacher. 】

[You saw Yan Chicheng's polite manners, and your heart was strange, so you were invited to the teahouse to discuss, and she readily agreed. 】

[Shaoqing, the end of the discussion, Yan Chi is sincerely convinced, regrets your attainments, and wants to plead with the teacher for you to accept you into the view. 】

[You refuse, your words and ways are different, and you don't conspire with each other. 】

[He also invited him to be a friend, and talked about it at leisure.] 】

[Yan Chicheng is delighted, worship you as a brother. 】

"I didn't expect that there would be such a child in this place of lust for profit."

Jiang He had a lot of experience, and with the opportunity of discussing the Tao, he observed Yan Chicheng's heart and exchanged a few words.

Immediately, I found out that this is a good seedling who seeks the Tao-

After Yan Chicheng was a nobleman in the imperial capital, he was very interested in Taoism since he was a child, and he read the Taoist scriptures to the fullest, and he was truly dedicated to seeking Taoism.

He used to practice at home, and he only recently entered the Yongle Taoist Temple.

The formation of the three views was influenced by the family of the past and those Taoist masters who commented on the Taoist scriptures, and was not contaminated by external objects, but maintained the original pure heart.

However, this is only temporary.

His current pure heart has not been polished by the world.

As you grow up, people who have been in contact with the pickles in the Yongle Taoist Temple for a long time may be affected by the environment and gradually change their minds.

Jiang He didn't want to see his heart covered with dust.

I didn't want to see Yan Chicheng, and was gradually assimilated by those Taoists in the Yongle Taoist Temple.

So I changed my mind.

Let's not leave the imperial capital yet.

Where to cultivate, for Jiang He, the difference is not big.

The silver taels given by Yan Chicheng were enough for him to rent in the imperial capital for a period of time.

He has the painting skills of his predecessor, and he can go out hunting, he can consider opening a sword hall, and he can even go to those who oppress the people in the township, rob the rich and help the poor......

Even if this is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is not suitable for fighting, killing and killing.

The experience of several lifetimes is placed here, not to mention glory and wealth, life is absolutely fine.

With this in mind.

Jiang He stayed in the imperial capital.

……

Time flies, time flies.

The bustling capital has experienced twenty ups and downs.

Jiang He has been concentrating on cultivation in the imperial capital, and a full twenty years have passed.

In the peaceful and prosperous era, things like demons and bandits will be reduced.

In addition, there are court gods who regulate feng shui, and the clouds and rain are smooth every year.

There weren't many opportunities to make a move.

Jiang He was overjoyed.

Originally, he planned to cultivate and develop, first cultivate into a ten-mile slope sword god, and then go out to travel the world.

Naturally, the fewer things the better.

Now, for example, after 20 years of painstaking reconstruction.

His cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has far surpassed the ordinary.

If you count all kinds of moves such as sword tricks and Dao methods, his real combat power has officially stepped into the top realm!

It's a pity that although the spiritual skill is still magical, it is only aimed at demonic energy.

For other forces such as aura, blood qi, essence qi, and demon qi, the efficiency has decreased sharply, and it is only equivalent to ordinary casting techniques.

During the Meng Dynasty, that is, the midstream level, it was not even first-class.

Of course, the Spiritual Skill also played some role -

Jiang He's proficiency in absorbing spiritual skills has reached the peak.

The weapon created by using the quick method of absorbing spiritual power, although it is not a divine weapon, is also an extremely good weapon, and it has been sold for a lot of money.

Let Jiang He's life in the imperial capital have a taste.

Not only can I go to the restaurant and listen to a little song.

You can even pick up the artist's danqing skills again, and buy some brushes, drawing paper and other items as a concoction in your leisure time.

Although the artist's skills are only at an average level, they are not ranked at all in the imperial capital, and they can't earn a penny.

But his technique became the foundation of Ega.

After Jiang He has some foundation in painting, he can try to integrate his sword skills, Taoism, past experiences and everything else into his brush.

Take the pen as the sword, and the sword walks the dragon and snake.

It's quite stylish, at least it's not so mediocre anymore.

"Then again......"

"During the Meng Dynasty, there was a Danqing inheritance."

"Some Danqing skills can even make the fairies in the painting come into reality and sing and dance; Or the painting is a boat, which is extremely mysterious. ”

"Since Yongle Taoism doesn't teach Taoism, I can try to learn painting."

"Maybe, I can create a heroic spirit of the painter's profession as an aid."

With this in mind.

When Jiang He practiced Danqing, he was even more devoted.

The paintings are heavy on meaning but not on form, and asking is the artistic conception.

……

It was the second year that Jiang He's strength was among the top.

[Time flies, twenty years have passed. 】

[You are successful in cultivating the Tao, thinking quietly and moving, and you want to walk the world. 】

[Yan Chicheng knows your intentions, invites you to have a long talk, everything is not going well in your words, she is at a loss in her heart, and she doesn't know why she is seeking. 】

If you leave the imperial capital, he wants to go with you. 】

[In the face of Yan Chicheng's invitation, you choose ......]

[A: Agree to the invitation, B: Politely decline, C: Personally intervene]

The reason why Jiang He stayed in the imperial capital was because he didn't want his innocent heart to be dusty.

Now, twenty years later.

In the past, he was a sincere boy, but now he is in his prime.

It's just that because of the success of the Tao and the skill of rejuvenating the face, he still looks like a young man.

Over the years, Yan Chicheng has seen too many intrigues and power-hungry things in the Yongle Taoist Temple, which is diametrically opposed to what he has learned on weekdays.

He was already confused in his heart, and he didn't know why he was cultivating.

What kind of Tao are you cultivating?

Jiang He saw that Yan Chicheng had already had this kind of thinking, and he didn't plan to tell him to answer directly in words.

Some of the answers need to walk, meet, and think by themselves.

in order to truly wake up.

【Invitation Granted】

"Since you're at a loss, follow me!"

[You readily agreed, wanting to go with Yan Chicheng. 】

[However, Yan Chicheng's status is not low, but after being a nobleman, when he left a book and wanted to do it, he was blocked by all parties. 】

[Yong Optimistic Lord, when he was the emperor of the dynasty, he reprimanded him on the spot and grounded him. 】

[You didn't sit idly by, and made a brazen move. 】

It's not the first time that Yan Chicheng wants to go out for a walk.

In the past 20 years, he has been confused several times, wanting to leave a book, leave the imperial capital, and travel the world.

Visit Taoist temples all over the world, visit other Taoists, and find answers in your heart.

Could it be that all the Taoists in the world are the same as the Yongle Taoist Temple?

It's just that the first few times, he didn't make up his mind completely.

After being dissuaded by others, he gave up his idea and stayed in the Taoist temple.

Until this time.

Seeing that Jiang He was leaving, he finally made up his mind.

Be sure to go out and have a look and verify your thoughts.

However, Yan Chicheng left a letter and was about to leave secretly.

Who knows, he collided head-on with the eternal optimistic master, and at the same time, he was also the emperor of the dynasty who was deeply relied on by Emperor Meng-

The contemporary Emperor Meng has no intention of ruling the country, relying entirely on the crown prince to supervise the country, and he is obsessed with seeking the Tao and wants to seek immortality.

happened to hit it off with this eternal optimistic master, worshipping him as the emperor's teacher, and looking for the way to live forever.

At this time, the emperor of the dynasty saw Yan Chicheng preparing to open the boil.

directly grounded him, locked him in the house for reflection, and did not allow him to leave the Taoist temple.

Jiang He waited at home for three days.

didn't wait for Yan Chicheng to come back, and basically guessed the situation.

Let's be honest......

Jiang He didn't plan to worry too much about Yongle Taoism.

As he said to Yan Chicheng twenty years ago.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

He didn't like the philosophy and ethos of Yongle Taoism.

I'd rather spend a little more time practicing than go to this Yongle Taoist temple to study.

Disdain to be in the company of it.

But......

"It doesn't matter what the Taoist scriptures are, it's not that I can't learn them."

"Anyway, in the era of the end of the law, the inheritance is lost. The exercises that you are treating as treasures now are placed in the past, which is the common first-class level. ”

"I'll go straight to learn better when the time comes."

"But—"

"Sincere and seeking, instead of supporting it, you are destroying people, which is a bit excessive."

Jiang He was angry from the heart.

Directly picked up the sword and went out and came to the Yongle Taoist Temple.

He didn't kill anyone.

After all, this is the place where Tianzun is sheltered.

Jiang He, as a Taoist of several generations, borrowed the Tianzun vest, and he had to save some face for Tianzun.

What's more, although the Yongle Taoist Temple is pickled, it is only disgusting, and the sin is not death.

After he came to Yongle Taoist Temple, he did not do much.

Just stood in front of the statue of Tianzun, standing with a sword.

In the past, he dominated the world and cultivated a chilling momentum that made the people of Yongle Taoist Temple frightened and did not dare to make a move.

Those pilgrims and nobles who came to the Taoist temple were also overwhelmed by the momentum.

This is here to smash the field!

The Taoist priests of the Yongle Taoist Temple realized this and immediately informed the Lord of Yongle Optimism.

When the eternal optimism Lord hurriedly returned to the Taoist temple.

But when he saw the man who smashed the field, he turned around and sat down, and invited him with his sword.

"Come, talk."

The sermon lasted for a day and a night.

The eternal optimism was pale, and he was speechless.

He has been cultivating for two hundred years, and even most of the time, he has been in the palace......

It's not like you can't refute a young man, right?

He was annoyed and wanted to do it.

was overwhelmed by the opponent's sword qi.

The eternal optimism can feel that there is an invisible aura on his neck, and as long as he dares to act rashly, his head will fall to the ground.

He could only watch as the man released Yan Chicheng, who had been grounded, from the house.

The two of them swaggered away from the door of the Taoist temple.

Before leaving.

The man glanced back at himself.

I glanced up at the delicate plaque again.

【Yongle Taoist Temple】

"But that's it."

The man chuckled and walked away with his sword.

Wait for the two to leave.

The plaque of Yongle Taoist Temple fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into two halves.
