Jiang Changsheng began to inherit the memories of the Mystic Sect Dharma Form. As the name suggests, the Mystic Sect Dharma Form is a kind of dharma form that can be solidified into a real form, which can be used for defense or offense. This method can be used as martial arts or as spells. The effects of True Qi and spiritual power are completely different.
Cultivators can use martial arts, but martial artists cannot use spells. It is interesting to have unique skills that both can use.
Perhaps this can also be his unique inheritance.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. After he finished inheriting the memory, he began to tidy up the room and keep the Calamity Buddha alive.
The rebellion in Jing City lasted until dusk before it ended. After the disciples who went out received the news, Meng Qiushuang led the disciples back to the Dragon Arising Temple from the mountain road.
General Hong Lie rebelled and then died tragically in the palace. The reversal of events was too fast, catching them off guard.
In any case, the Hong Family Army has been disbanded, and they can return to peace.
Late at night, Jiang Qian woke up, his face covered with clean strips of cloth. He saw Jiang Changsheng meditating in the air, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Jiang Changsheng gave the bed to him and could only meditate in the air.
Jiang Qian didn't dare to disturb Jiang Changsheng. He looked to the side and saw the Calamity Buddha. The Calamity Buddha was lying on the ground, as if he were dead.
"Awake? You can go out and walk around, but you can't leave the courtyard. If someone comes, hide immediately. In a few months, I will arrange for you to become a Taoist in the temple."
Jiang Changsheng said without opening his eyes.
Jiang Qian quickly got up, kowtowed to Jiang Changsheng on the ground, and said softly: "Wang Chen is willing to serve the Taoist priest forever, thank you Taoist priest for saving my life, thank you Taoist priest for giving Wang Chen a peaceful life."
In the palace, he was suppressed by soldiers, and that kind of incompetence made him extremely angry.
When his throat was cut and death was approaching step by step, that kind of despair made him eager to live. When he was in pain and despair, Jiang Changsheng's appearance dispelled his despair. He will never forget this kindness.
From then on, his name was no longer Jiang Qian, he was Wang Chen.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly landed and said, "That's right, I'll interrogate him."
He pointed in the air, and the Calamity Buddha woke up, gasping for breath, startling Wang Chen.
The Calamity Buddha subconsciously looked around, and met Jiang Changsheng's eyes, a pair of golden eyes.
Illusory God Eyes!
The Calamity Buddha was immediately dazed and stood there blankly.
Wang Chen was almost scared to death when he saw the change in Jiang Changsheng's eyes. Fortunately, the Illusory God Eyes were not used on him, so he did not lose consciousness.
Jiang Changsheng has cultivated the Illusory God Eyes to the point where he can make the other party answer questions unconsciously, as long as he makes the other party mistakenly think that he is the person he trusts most, and changes his cognition.
"Tell me, how many Divine Human Realm experts are there in the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower?" Jiang Changsheng asked.
Divine Human Realm?
Wang Chen swallowed. In his understanding, the strongest martial art is only the Heaven Arrival Realm, and he has never heard of the Divine Human Realm.
The Calamity Buddha replied numbly: "I don't know the Divine Human Realm..."
"Then what is the strongest realm in the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower..."
"Above the Venerable, the twelve Venerables are all in the God Heart Realm, but the Tower Master and the two Dharma Protectors are even above them..."
Jiang Changsheng frowned, meaning that he couldn't rule out the possibility of the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower having experts at the Divine Human Realm.
He then asked, "How many disciples does the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower have, and how many dynasties does it control?"
Calamity Buddha replied, "I don't know the exact number. As for the dynasties, that's confidential. We were all acting under orders, here to help Jiang Yu seize the throne..."
Wang Chen's expression was complicated. He hadn't expected Jiang Yuan to choose the Seventh Prince.
He had always thought the Second Prince and Fourth Prince were the biggest threats. Jiang Yu was usually gentle and seemed to lack ambition, because he was a martial artist, and Wang Chen thought his gathering of experts was just for martial arts sparring.
Jiang Changsheng continued, "Tell me everything you know about the Jiang Family's royal family."
Calamity Buddha immediately said, "I know that the Jiang Emperor once studied under the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower, learning True Dragon Qi, which allowed him to establish himself in the chaotic world. But besides martial power, money was also needed. He received support from the Yang Family, promising to make a Yang Family woman the Empress in the future. However, the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower needed to control the new dynasty to collect more resources for martial arts practice, so they disrupted the court and sent the Jiang Emperor's junior sister to help him stabilize it. They planned to have her give birth to a son who would become the Emperor. The two agreed to switch the Crown Prince, taking the opportunity to suppress the ignorant Yang Family. The Jiang Emperor felt sorry for the Empress, so he had the Fourth Prince, and later, the Jiang Emperor and his junior sister had the Seventh Prince..."
Wang Chen was stunned. He already knew he had been switched, but he didn't expect the Great Jing to be connected to martial arts forces.
He couldn't help but ask, "Where... where did the fake Crown Prince come from?"
Calamity Buddha didn't answer, and Jiang Changsheng had to repeat the question.
Calamity Buddha replied, "The fake Crown Prince was just a baby that the Emperor had the White-Clothed Guard randomly swap from the poor district of Jing City. It was right after the founding of the nation, and it only cost a bag of rice..."
Wang Chen was silent.
Jiang Changsheng didn't have time to sympathize with him and continued to ask about the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower.
After questioning him for half an hour, Jiang Changsheng finally ended his life, then threw him out for the White Dragon to eat. But the White Dragon was disgusted, so he had to fly on his sword, throwing Calamity Buddha into a pack of wolves in the mountains outside the city. He watched the wolves devour Calamity Buddha's corpse before returning, relieved.
Wang Chen was still in the house, and the White Dragon was staring at him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Jiang Changsheng gave him the Devil Master's room next door, and he settled down there.
Hong Lie rebelled and was tragically killed by a mysterious expert! The Crown Prince and Second Prince disappeared!
These events spread throughout Jing City and the entire world, causing the people to worry that the succession to the throne would lead to internal strife. The Emperor immediately returned upon hearing the news.
The Emperor returned, and Jing City underwent several large-scale searches, including the Dragon Arising Temple, but months had already passed. Wang Chen had removed the cloth strips from his face, revealing a face full of scars. He had lost a lot of weight that month, and his throat had become hoarse due to his serious injuries. Dressed in a Taoist robe, he looked like an ugly Taoist priest and had nothing to do with the Crown Prince.
Chen Li also visited Jiang Changsheng in the middle of all this, marveling at the power of the mysterious expert who could kill Hong Lie, who commanded a hundred thousand iron cavalry.
And so, the Dragon Arising Temple gained an inconspicuous Taoist priest named Wang Chen, who usually cleaned the courtyard for the Taoist master and also cultivated with Meng Qiushuang and the other disciples, resting and recuperating.
With Wang Chen and the White Dragon around, Jiang Changsheng didn't have to take care of Ping An. In his spare time from cultivation, he tried to create a low-level version of a cultivation method for Wang Chen to try. As a result, Wang Chen almost had his meridians burst from spiritual energy, scaring Jiang Changsheng into having to redesign it.
The year passed just like that.
In the thirty-first year of Kaiyuan, the Emperor made the Seventh Prince the Crown Prince, shocking the world. The princes didn't dare to object. The only one who posed a threat to the Seventh Prince, Jiang Yu, was still on the border fighting against Gu Han, cleaning up the mess for the Emperor.
Jiang Changsheng's days became more leisurely. After confirming that the Empress was fine, he stayed in the temple to cultivate in peace.
In the thirty-second year of Kaiyuan, Little Prince Wei was three years old. Hua Jian Xin and a group of servants brought him to the Dragon Arising Temple. From that day on, Little Prince Wei would spend three days a week at the Dragon Arising Temple, being taught martial arts by Jiang Changsheng.
Wan Li and Ming Yue, who were considered half of Jiang Changsheng's disciples, had already become Peerless Experts, but they didn't like going down the mountain. In their spare time, they would also help Jiang Changsheng take care of Little Prince Wei and Ping An.
In the thirty-third year of Kaiyuan, the Great Jing's northern border was breached by Gu Han. The military situation was urgent, and the Great Jing was completely plunged into war. The people seemed to see the shadow of the chaotic world again, and this time it wasn't an internal war on the Great Jing's land, but a foreign invasion.
Many people in the folk were cursing the Emperor, saying that if the Emperor hadn't insisted on fighting Gu Han, it wouldn't have come to this.
As autumn arrived, within the courtyard of the Dragon Arising Temple.
The Earth Spirit Tree was already taller than the buildings, its leaves falling in droves. A large white snake coiled around the tree, its body as thick as an adult's thigh, its length unknown. Several people sat beneath the tree.
Jiang Changsheng was telling a story, with Little Prince Wei, Ping An, Wan Li, and Ming Yue listening, while Wang Chen swept the floor.
"The Yuan army besieged Yashan, and the prime minister carried the eight-year-old boy emperor Zhao Bing and jumped into the sea, followed by a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians who also threw themselves into the sea to die for their country. With this, the Song Dynasty came to an end in history. That is the story of the Song Dynasty."
Jiang Changsheng finished speaking, a smile on his face. He had finally finished the story, truly exhausting.
Starting half a year ago, he had begun telling Little Prince Wei stories about the ancient Chinese emperors, which later attracted Wan Li and Ming Yue to listen as well.
Little Prince Wei was dressed in rich brocade clothing, his features delicate and his appearance extremely outstanding, especially the birthmark between his eyebrows, like a third eye, making him impossible to ignore. Ping An sat next to him, his hair messy and his Daoist robe somewhat disheveled, the difference in their images and temperaments vast.
Ping An was born with disabilities. Wang Chen and Ming Yue would always help him tidy his hair and clothes, but he was playful and would quickly mess them up and get them dirty.
Although he was simple-minded, he was born with great strength. At the age of four, he could already lift the sleeping Wang Chen, which had terrified Wang Chen at the time.
Who said Little Prince Wei was the reincarnation of the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird? This silly boy was!
Little Prince Wei rested his chin on his hands, clicking his tongue and saying, "The story of the Song Dynasty isn't good. I still like the Tang Dynasty. I want to be the Heavenly Khan, I want to flatten Gu Han."
He turned to look at Ping An, patted Ping An's shoulder, and laughed, "Ping An, in the future, I'll be Li Shimin, and you'll be Li Yuanba. We brothers will conquer the world together."
At the age of four, he spoke as if he were eight or nine years old, his speech clear and coherent, making him seem very clever.
Ping An hugged him, rubbing his face against his, giggling and saying, "Okay, okay, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba..."
Since they met, these two boys had become very close. Perhaps it was because they were of similar age, their relationship was excellent, and they even fought with other young disciples in the temple. With Ping An around, Little Prince Wei never suffered any losses.
Ming Yue shook her head and said, "Li Shimin did indeed create great achievements and can be considered an emperor for the ages, but the Xuanwu Gate Incident is a stain he can't wash away. Killing his brothers and forcing his father is not honorable at all."
Little Prince Wei stood up angrily and said, "Sister Ming Yue, Li Shimin was forced to do it, and he should be the emperor. Why does the firstborn have to be the emperor? Shouldn't whoever is stronger be the emperor?"
Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Good heavens, this kid...
Speaking of which, Little Prince Wei was not the eldest son under the Seventh Prince. The eldest son was an illegitimate child and was also quite loved by the Seventh Prince, after all, his mother was the one the Seventh Prince truly loved, while Little Prince Wei's mother was arranged by the Emperor, and less than a year after Little Prince Wei was born, the Princess Consort passed away, and the eldest son's mother successfully rose from concubine to Princess Consort.
Could he be suffering grievances in the Prince's mansion? Hua Jian Xin hadn't mentioned anything.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
Little Prince Wei and Ming Yue began to argue. Seeing Little Prince Wei getting agitated, Ping An suddenly stood up and swung his fist at Ming Yue. Fortunately, Ming Yue also practiced martial arts and easily caught it. For a moment, chaos erupted under the tree.
Wang Chen swept the floor and came to Jiang Changsheng's side, asking curiously, "Daoist Master, the Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, where are these dynasties from? Why haven't I heard of them?"
He used to think Jiang Changsheng was making them up, and Jiang Changsheng said so too, but after listening for so long, they seemed too real.
