Chapter 140: Practice for You The scarlet magic sword was stuck diagonally into the ground. It was clearly a wooden sword, but it made a sound of metal clashing. Red lightning spread out and completely shattered the runes on the flying boat. As a result, the magical weapon that could turn soil into water and allow boats to sail on land was suddenly more than half useless. "who!" "How dare you attack the royal flying boat!" "Be bold!" The two practitioners on the flying boat were horrified, not because of anything else, but because they did not notice the coming of this magic sword at all! The Taoist priest in a green Taoist robe and a black cloak walked slowly towards him and raised his hand. "Zheng!" The scarlet magic sword trembled and flew back into the Taoist's hand.
"Who are you? Don't you recognize that this is a royal instrument? Do you know that offending the dragon flag is equivalent to attacking the emperor?" "This is a crime punishable by death for the entire clan!" The two practitioners started to scold each other, but their bodies reacted honestly. They slowly got off the flying boat step by step and looked at the Taoist in the black cloak vigilantly. "I have no ill intentions." Jiang Lin raised his head, walked forward slowly, and said, "I came here just to meet my old friend on the flying boat. Please give me some convenience." "No! On the flying boat is the future Crown Prince's concubine!" One of the practitioners, who was wearing coarse linen clothes and had a compass hanging around his waist, subconsciously refused. "Zheng..." The scarlet sword light flashed by. By the time the cultivator came to his senses, the scarlet magic sword had already landed on his neck, and it seemed that if he moved forward a little further, his body would be torn apart. His spiritual sense belatedly warned him, and his back was instantly wet with cold sweat. That was an extreme life-and-death crisis. He had no doubt that if he made the slightest movement, the Taoist in the black cloak in front of him would chop off his head! This thought made him dare not move at all, and he could only stand there stiffly. "What a lunatic, relying on the power of magic weapons to show off your power here!" At one side, another practitioner was thinking silently. Judging from the age of the Taoist in the black cloak, he may not even be eighteen years old. Even if he has been practicing Taoism in the womb, he has only been practicing Taoism for eighteen years at most. But that magic sword is truly transcendent. But now, he only has one sword, but he has two people! And I have been practicing for forty years!
As soon as he thought of this, the cultivator in a pitch-black robe with a mysterious aura suddenly spread out his sleeves and walked straight towards Jiang Lin without saying a word! "Locust God's command!" The cultivator spread out his sleeves, and the pitch-black sleeves fluttered, and locusts flew out. However, after just a few breaths, it was like a black cloud covering the sky! Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows. A practitioner of evil ways? No, it doesn't count either. Although the Locust God has some flavor of the evil god, it is not a complete evil god. After all, they really have serious believers. It can only be said that those practitioners who worship the Locust God are "skirting the line". It is difficult to define between good and evil. If we have to say, it is a gray area. However, no matter how you look at it, this thing has some traces of the evil god. And this was a complete blow to Jiang Lin's gun. "Imperial command, five thunders." Jiang Lin raised his eyes, and a flash of white-blazing thunder appeared in them. The next moment, the thunder exploded! "boom!!!" Fiery thunder burst out from his eyes, transforming into streaks of electric lightning that stirred within the locust swarm. With every flash, countless locusts would turn into black smoke and dissipate! By the time the black-robed cultivator arrived in front of Jiang Lin, the locusts that covered the sky had already disappeared. The black-robed practitioner couldn't help but pause, his body stiffened, and his eyes stared like two light bulbs. His legs were shaking unconsciously. “Thunder…Thunder Method!!” The black-robed practitioner trembled and cried out in shock. Perhaps in the authentic Taoism, thunder magic can only be regarded as the "core of high-end skills". Although most Taoist disciples are not qualified to practice thunder magic, they have seen it after all. I only have admiration for thunder magic, but I don't have any fear. But for lay practitioners, or evil practitioners, thunder magic represents one thing. Natural enemy! And they are unattainable natural enemies! Even if you are a royal priest, it is basically impossible for you to come into contact with thunder magic. This is the core of the core of Taoism. It is not wrong to say that it is the foundation of one's life. Even if he was the emperor, it would be impossible to inherit the thunder magic. What's more, even if there is a inheritance of thunder magic, such a righteous method cannot be practiced just by wanting to. Qualifications, state of mind, and official positions are all indispensable.
Therefore, facing the thunder method at this moment, the black-robed practitioner no longer had the mind to think about the time for practice or the reliance on magic weapons. At this moment, his thoughts were the same as those of the cultivator whose neck was held by the vermilion magic sword. He had no intention of resisting at all. You know, he didn't hold back at all just now. To be on the safe side, he used all his strength. However, the cloud of locusts that he summoned by communicating with the Locust God was completely destroyed by a blast of lightning. Moreover, as someone who had experienced it personally, he knew very well that the thunder technique just now was not the full strength of the Taoist in black cloak! "Now, can we meet?" Jiang Lin took two steps forward and asked softly. At the same time, a ray of lightning appeared on his hand, which he played with at his fingertips, shaping it into a lightning ball the size of a longan. The black-robed cultivator didn't dare to speak at all because Jiang Lin placed the thunder bead in his hand on top of his head. This made him dare not make any move at all. The lightning bead above his head had no weight at all, but the feeling of having his life and death controlled by others was extremely clear. "Don't say anything. I will take it as your agreement." Jiang Lin looked at the practitioners who were controlled by the thunder beads and magic sword respectively, nodded slightly, and walked towards the flying boat. There were some guards and maids on the flying boat, but they didn't dare to make any moves. The two great practitioners who were like gods in their hearts were like quails in the snow when faced with the Taoist in the black cloak who suddenly appeared. This made them silent, and they just stood there, carefully watching the Taoist in the black cloak approaching step by step. "Excuse me, please make way." Jiang Lin nodded politely to the two maids guarding the door of the flying boat's hut. The two men immediately stepped aside tremblingly, lowered their heads and dared not speak. One of them mustered up the courage and lifted the curtain. "Thank you." Jiang Lin nodded to the maid, raised his hand, and wanted to knock on the door, but gave up and just pushed the door open and walked in. This flying boat is not small, it is more than three meters wide. The hut inside is not small. After Jiang Lin walked in, he saw Liu Yunxiu drinking tea at the table at a glance. At this moment, Liu Yunxiu changed into a bright red palace dress, every part of which was neat and tidy, and in accordance with the rules and etiquette. She looked very formal and serious, making the girl look more like a lady from a noble family. But Jiang Lin felt something was wrong. In Jiang Lin's eyes, this fitting and etiquette-compliant palace dress was like a cage that completely locked up Liu Yunxiu's spirit.
She should be a free bird, not a caged beast. "Taoist priest?" Liu Yunxiu was not surprised to see Jiang Lin, as if she was waiting for him. The girl squinted her eyes and smiled, like two crescent moons. "Sure enough, Senior Sister Qingning won't listen to me." Jiang Lin did not answer, but sat opposite Liu Yunxiu and asked, "Did you suffer any injustice along the way?" Hearing this, Liu Yunxiu paused while pouring tea, raised her head, and said with a smile: "I came to the capital on the orders of the emperor. Even if you are a royal tribute, you will not look down on me." At this point, Liu Yunxiu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's more, before we were halfway through the journey, the second imperial edict came, directly appointing me as the Crown Prince's concubine. This way, I will not be looked down upon." Jiang Lin raised his eyes and said, "You have received the teachings from the Taoist master of Taisu Palace. Next year, when Taisu Palace opens the altar to recruit disciples, you will be the Fire Dwelling disciple of Taisu Palace." "With such status, you don't need to be conscripted as a concubine." Blurred boundaries between practitioners and mortals also have their benefits. For example, once a sect is registered under a legitimate and authentic name, a lot of mundane troubles can be avoided. If we really have to make an analogy, it is like having great achievements. It seems that from ancient times to the present, there have never been any top scholars who became royal sons-in-law. "The Taoist priest also said that it will be next year." Liu Yunxiu smiled and said, "But I am still a secular person now, and I have to obey the emperor's orders." Jiang Lin frowned. Liu Yunxiu was confused. Still using worldly fame and fortune to distance us. A scholar could meet an official without bowing, let alone a juren. Who says scholars are not officials? Who says prospective disciples are not considered disciples? As long as Liu Yunxiu wants, it is impossible for me, the Taoist Master Zhenzhu, not to support Liu Yunxiu. The emperor would never go against the opinion of a true cultivator on earth, a half-step immortal, on such a matter. After all, to put it bluntly, it is impossible that Liu Yunxiu is the only one in the entire Zhou Kingdom who is suitable to be the so-called concubine of the crown prince. So…… "You asked to come here?" Jiang Lin looked at Liu Yunxiu and felt a little sour. This has nothing to do with anything else, it's purely due to the bad nature of men. A girl who once said that she wanted to practice for you, now took the initiative to agree to be the Crown Prince's concubine. And you know very well that this so-called Crown Prince will soon cease to exist. Jiang Lin's reaction was completely subconscious.
"Yes." Liu Yunxiu blinked, suddenly bent down and moved closer, staring straight at Jiang Lin with a sly smile on his lips. "Master...are you jealous?" Jiang Lin retreated without leaving a trace, and asked with a sudden thought: "Did you come to Kyoto just to see if I would be jealous?" "Yes, what else?" Liu Yunxiu sat back and nodded as a matter of course. Then, he smiled and said, "I know that Senior Sister Qingning would not not tell you this, otherwise she would not be Chen Qingning." "The Taoist priest is in Kyoto. After he learned about me through the Qin Palace, it is impossible for him not to come and see me." "What I want to see is the Taoist's reaction at this moment." She was half lying on the table, her chin supported by her arms, looking at Jiang Lin sideways with her big smiling eyes, like a kitten stealing food. "Prince Qin's Mansion?" Jiang Lin caught a key word and frowned and asked, "How do you know that I have a connection with the Qin Palace?" “And it’s not just any ordinary connection.” Liu Yunxiu added with a smile, and then said: "I also know that you are preparing to rebel." As she spoke, she stood up and said with a grin, "I'm here to help you!" Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought of something and asked in disbelief: "These things are..." "My oldest nephew told me!" Liu Yunxiu revealed the obvious answer to the mystery. She smiled and said, "I'm here to help my oldest nephew. He said he will come to Kyoto by the end of this year." "Then, rebellion, no, according to my nephew, restoring order out of chaos, can begin." The nephew Liu Yunxiu mentioned was naturally the reincarnation of Dongmingxingjun, whose name in this life was Jiang Jing. According to Chen Qingning, the baby was only two months old, but he already looked like a five or six-year-old child. It can be predicted that if he continues to grow at this rate for another half a year, he will be a teenager of 17 or 18 years old by then. It just happened to coincide with the King of Qin's plan. "So, this is why you came here?" Jiang Lin felt relieved for no reason. "No, it's just incidental." Liu Yunxiu shook her head.
The girl's eyes were filled with the shadow of the Taoist in the black cloak, and she said with a smile: "Once, I was chatting with my eldest nephew, and I said that I liked a Taoist priest, and I liked him very much." "Even if it's cultivation, it's also cultivation for him." "But, I don't know his intentions. He said that he was devoted to cultivation, but I had dirty thoughts and wanted to hinder his cultivation." "Then, the eldest nephew said something." Jiang Lin asked curiously, "What?" "He said……" Liu Yunxiu suppressed her laughter and said, "Focus on cultivation? You are just bragging." "These are my eldest nephew's original words. I am just conveying them." Jiang Lin: “…” Well, well, well, you are the reincarnation of the dignified Lord of the North Star, and you are slandering the disciples of your own lineage like this, right? Jiang Lin took note silently. "At this time, the emperor's edict came down. I wanted to ask you to refuse, but my nephew gave me this idea." "By the way, help him with something." As Liu Yunxiu spoke, she stood up, walked to Jiang Lin's side, bent down, and her long black hair fell like a waterfall in front of Jiang Lin's eyes. The girl's breath is as sweet as orchid and her voice is like an oriole. "Master, you were jealous just now, right?" Jiang Lin couldn't help but lean back a little, avoiding the fragrance of the orchid. He felt a little confused. "Hey Hey……" Liu Yunxiu stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, jumped briskly, and said, "Everything is self-explanatory, Taoist priest." "By the way, you go out first." Liu Yunxiu suddenly ordered everyone to leave. Jiang Lin's heart was in turmoil at the moment, but he felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard this, and he lowered his head and left the hut. Standing on the flying boat, Jiang Lin looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. He really didn't know how to react now. This was the first time for him to face a girl's feelings so clearly and directly. Not long after, Liu Yunxiu came out. At this moment, she changed out of the neat palace skirt and replaced it with a loose Taoist robe that was casual and unrestrained. The girl tiptoed and came in front of Jiang Lin, against the morning sunlight. In Jiang Lin's eyes, the sunlight shone on the girl's body, and even her hair seemed to be glowing.
The girl's clear and soft voice sounded. "Master, I told you..." "Practice, just for you." (End of this chapter)
