Chapter 2 Family, Dust
Jiang Chen's body flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it was as fast as the wind, and he crossed ten zhang to the middle of the courtyard.
As soon as the thought came to mind, he crossed thirty-six steps in the void, floating like a ghost and as fast as lightning. This is the method of the peak martial artist of dark energy.
Martial arts practice to such a realm as he is simply more terrifying than a tiger and a leopard, and the distance of a few zhang has long lost its meaning, and the end of the world can be turned into a stone's throw away.
After the snow, the sky gradually cleared, and the moon was in the middle of the night, and now it was the third watch. In the open space at the entrance of the courtyard, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old was standing in the snow, and it was his maid singing.
Looking at the girl who was dressed in snow and was circling with the two family members through the crack in the door, Jiang Chen was very moved.
For so many years, he is not good at communicating with people, and the big and small things in the house are generally handled by his little maid Yongge on his behalf, and it is precisely because of this that he can devote his energy wholeheartedly to martial arts.
But he knew it wouldn't work tonight. Tonight's matter can only be completely cut off by going to it yourself.
On a whim just now, he seemed to have touched a hint of an opportunity to break through the transformation realm, which was the intuition of a martial artist.
The dark energy has been cultivated to the peak level, the mind is full of qi and blood, the six senses are connected, and the intuition is more sensitive than that of a cheetah. If you feel that something is going to happen, you can't go wrong.
"Alright, Yongge, you go back first, I'll take care of the matter here. It's freezing outside, you haven't practiced martial arts, and it's easy to get cold. ”
Jiang Chen's footsteps flickered again, came to the girl's side, took off the robe he was wearing casually, and gently covered the girl's body.
Then, with a "squeak", he waved open the door.
At the gate of the small courtyard, two burly men with deep breath stood outside like swords at the moment.
These two people, who looked to be in their thirties, were at the age of full physical strength.
And in their bodies, there is actually a murderous aura, obviously a master who has been on the battlefield and has been involved in human life.
As a huge family in Changsha City, Jiangfu naturally has an unusual relationship with the imperial court forces in Daning, and can find some military masters to enter the palace.
If not, it is not enough to be the top nursing home in Jiang Mansion.
"Second Young Master!"
After seeing Jiang Chen appear, the two family members outside the door were straight, and they all clasped their fists together, and their every move seemed to be very well-behaved.
Although they have a cold look on their faces, they can't find anything wrong with their words and demeanors.
"Well, there's no need to be polite. Jiang Chen waved his hand, looked at the two people in front of him, and showed a casual aura: "You came to me late at night, what's the matter?"
His eyes burned, as if he already had some conjectures in his mind, but he was still short of the confirmation of the last step.
Jiang Chen's eyes were shining brightly, and in the dim snowy night, they seemed to be able to bring light to people.
It is rumored that people who practice martial arts, martial arts have cultivated to a high and profound realm, their temples are bulging high, their eyes are like cold stars, and their eyes can be volleying and intimidating.
But where is the cold star in his current gaze? It is clearly two rounds of the sun, moon, yin and yang, which seem to penetrate the world.
This is not an ordinary martial arts master, but has reached the realm of supernatural beings.
Suck!
Facing this gaze, the two family members gasped, looked at each other in shock, and their faces changed wildly.
Standing in front of Jiang Chen, they actually felt a huge pressure like a mountain.
"Second son, just ...... Just now, the old man called the little one to come and inform you, he is waiting for you in the Zaifu Hall in the main hall, please get ready, just hurry up. ”
Seeing Jiang Chen's eyes, the voices of the two nurses became stumbling, and their momentum suddenly subdued, and they no longer had the coldness just now, but seemed to be as well-behaved as kittens in front of the two tigers.
It was a cold night in the depths of winter, but the two of them were sweating, and after saying this sentence in a hurry, they actually trembled and couldn't help but want to shake their heads and leave.
Originally, they were strong in martial arts, and they were all masters who had fought on the battlefield for several years, and they had been following the master since they entered the Jiang Mansion, and their status was not below Jiang Chen, the second young master.
But now in the face of Jiang Chen's gaze, the two of them actually felt a terrifying sense of oppression, unconsciously whispered, couldn't stand up, and just wanted to escape quickly.
"Okay, you go first, and I'll go after that. ”
Jiang Chen didn't care, waved his hand and closed the door.
The two housekeepers outside the door looked at each other in horror with sweat, as if the drowning person suddenly breathed fresh air, and actually gave birth to a feeling of escaping death......
In the courtyard, Jiang Chen let out a long breath, the light in his eyes was retracted, and he moved to his maid singing.
"Master, why did you come out? This little thing ......"
Seeing Jiang Chen appear, Yongge was slightly surprised and asked.
In her impression, for many years from childhood to adulthood, Jiang Chen would never participate in anything in the house, and refused to concentrate on martial arts.
But tonight, my young master actually changed his sex, and he stopped practicing martial arts, so he took the initiative to go to the master's place?
However, she was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Chen:
"Yongge, you don't have to worry too much, I won't practice martial arts tonight, and I don't need to practice hard in the future. My martial arts path has reached the end of my retreat, and the next step is to go out to grind my calendar, cut off all kinds of mundane shackles, and enter the realm of transformation. My father came to me just now because he had something to do. In the past, I didn't have a great success in martial arts, so I needed to avoid the mundane in order to cultivate my edge. And now that I have reached the level of the half-step transformation realm, there are no more miscellaneous things in the world that can stop my steps. ”
Jiang Chen said softly, his body seemed to be still slightly undulating, which was the artistic conception of standing on a horse.
His martial arts have been practiced to the depths of his spirit, and he is practicing asceticism diligently all the time.
Between the flickering breaths, the ethereal is not like a mortal, but like a mortal immortal in the sky, traveling freely in the world.
Yongge looked at him in surprise, a little confused.
When she looked at her young master before, she could still feel that he was just a powerful person, although his kung fu was unfathomable, he was still in the mortal world.
But now, after this night of snow and hard work, Jiang Chen's body seems to have countless shackles broken. His eyes were clear, dusty, and devoid of fireworks, and even a girl like her, who was completely ignorant of martial arts, could see a huge change.
"Young master, but you have to be careful, it's so late today, and the master suddenly called someone to look for you......"
Seeing that Jiang Chen's intention had been decided, Yongge reminded him, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
She vaguely remembered some bad rumors she had heard the other day.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You don't have to worry about me, just go back to your room and rest first. ”
Jiang Chen didn't care, signaling her not to worry, and then walked out of the door alone, walking briskly towards the main courtyard of the Jiang Mansion.
Out of the small courtyard, Jiang Chen flashed around.
His figure, like a bird picking branches, crossed in the air, flashed more than a dozen feet in one step, and in a short time he had already entered the depths of the mansion.
Jiangfu is very large, even if you look at the entire Changsha City, such a large mansion is the only one.
Changsha City is located in the central and southern part of China, as the main road connecting the northern and southern provinces, the four seas and five lakes, since ancient times, it has been a place where countless travelers and merchants have come and gone.
And now the times have changed, with the fall of one dynasty after another, and the rise of the Daning Dynasty, the big families in the city are the Jiang family and the Zhao family.
Although Jiang Chen's Jingnan Jiang family cannot be compared with the "Nine Famous Families" in China, it can be regarded as a wealthy family in Jingzhou Province, a corner of Jiangdong.
Since Jiang Tingzhi, the ancestor of the Jiang family two hundred years ago, made a fortune by relying on business, the Jiang family has firmly taken root in the hinterland of China in this transportation Kyushu. In the past few hundred years, its power has covered more than ten large cities in three provinces, which can be described as a famous party.
Although he is the son of the Jiang family like several older brothers and younger brothers, Jiang Chen's status in the mansion has always been in a relatively low position.
For as long as he can remember, his mother has passed away due to illness.
As the head of the Jiang family, his grandfather and his father could not have only one woman. In the Jiang Mansion, the branch infighting between the ladies and young masters of each room has always been very harsh, and if you are not careful, you will even be in danger of your life.
However, he concentrated on martial arts, and these battles rarely burned on him.
Recalling the past, Jiang Chen felt a lot of nostalgia, and he couldn't help but think of when he was young.
In fact, in this family, he also had a favored life, but that was more than ten years ago.
At the age of three, he could read a thousand words, at the age of five, he knew the "scriptures" and "books", and when he was seven or eight years old, he did a good job, and he had his own opinions on mathematics, calculations, and scriptures.
At that time, the old man had always regarded him as the heir to the next generation of the Jiang family, but later, he gradually deviated from the direction set by his father and embarked on another path of cultivating martial arts.
Passing through the overlapping courtyard doors in the house, the main hall was soon reached.
This is the main hall of the Jiang Mansion, Zaifu Hall, and it is also the place where the Jiang family receives distinguished guests and holds important family meetings.
The moonlight shines through the dark clouds, and a few gray rays of light fall on the bluestone slab floor, and the atmosphere seems a little depressing.
"Young master, come in, the master is already waiting for you in the hall. ”
At the gate, the two guards saw Jiang Chen coming and spoke.
"Hmm. ”
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, walked into the mansion, and then heard two voices arguing in the Zaifu Hall in the courtyard.
