Pure Yang Sword Sovereign

Chapter 673 Chapter Six, Five and Six
The moonlight was like water, reflecting the whiteness of the sky and the earth. Ling Zhen took a sip, looked at Ling Chong, and then at Ling Kang, feeling very moved, and said: "There are three of us, father and son, it's been a long time since we are like this." Right drink."

Ling Kang said with a smile: "Second brother has been successful in his studies in the past few years, so he doesn't have to stick to the imperial examinations. Why don't we ask Elder Zhang Ge to resign earlier, and come back to Jinling, so that our family can be reunited, how wonderful it will be." Ling Kang has seen Ling Chong's Yin God incarnate to attack, and he knows that this second brother is pregnant with superb Taoism, and his father dislikes strange things the most in his life, and he wants to help Ling Chong block one or two.

Ling Chong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm going to report this to my father, but in fact I..." Just as I was about to tell the whole story about my family's cultivation of Taoism, Ling Zhen said indifferently: "Is it a matter of you practicing the Taoism of the Immortal Family? I already guessed it."

Ling Chong choked for a moment and said, "Father already guessed it?" Ling Zhen nodded, "Back then you beat Qiao Baisui with martial arts, but it was nothing. Until you invited Bixia Divine Monk to sit in your house and beat Xiao Xiao back." Li, I guessed that you must have worshiped a great master and learned superior spells. Originally, I didn't want you to practice swordsmanship or Taoism, but I didn't want you to ask Mr. Zhang Ge to intercede for you, so I rolled my eyes Close your eyes, let you go. Otherwise, no matter how broad-minded I am, you have been with Zhang Ge for more than ten years, why don't you come to the capital to see you in person? Also, the dynasty has been taught by you, and the martial arts have become more and more refined over the years. He's younger than me, and he's blind as a father, so how could he turn a blind eye?"

Ling Chong thought for a while, and it really is so, the old father is not stupid, he has already seen that he left home to practice Taoism, but he just attracted but didn't say anything.Otherwise, just go to the capital to find Mr. Zhang Ge and confront him for a while, and he immediately said: "Since the father already knows it, I don't need to talk too much. I have joined a Taixuan sword sect for more than ten years and practiced swordsmanship. If you want to learn from Zhang Ge's old school, father don't have to be suspicious."

The dynasty happened to go out for some important business, but Ling Chong didn't see him. According to his father, it seems that he has made great progress in practicing the exercises taught by Ling Chong in the past few years, and even his old injuries have healed up, which is a good thing.Ling Chong briefly explained the process of apprenticeship to Taixuan. He didn't dare to talk about the mysterious things such as cultivating the magic way and breaking into the underworld.

Thinking back, Ling Chong has personally participated in many major events in the past ten years since he became a Daoist. At this moment, picking up some insignificant things made Ling Zhen and Ling Kang stunned for a moment, and even forgot to drink wine.After a long time, Ling Zhen sighed and said: "You have had the ambition to be born since you were a child, I planned to find a marriage for you earlier, when you have children and continue the incense of the Ling family, I will naturally give up this idea. Who knows that man is not as good as God, your brother's marriage caused me a lot of trouble, most of it was thanks to your strength to get through it safely, otherwise Xiao Li alone would have wiped out my Ling family. Later I also wanted to open it up, Now that Kang'er has an heir and the Ling family has a queen, you don't need to worry about incense, just follow your wishes!"

What Ling Kang cared about was the matter of long life, so he asked repeatedly: "I saw those immortal masters, all of them are immortal, they can release flying swords, and they claim to take people's heads from thousands of miles away, since your sect is a sword Zong, you must have this ability too?" He tried his best to encourage Naidi to release the flying sword for him to see.

Ling Chong couldn't resist him, and a sword aura shot out from his fingers, about three inches long, flying around the room like lightning. The whole study room was suddenly chilled as the sword was swaying. Ling Kang couldn't help but shiver. Ling Chong waved his hand , Withdrawing the sword energy, Ling Kang felt better now, and said reluctantly: "What kind of skill is this? Why don't you come to cut iron and chop trees, and show me?"

Ling Chong smiled and said: "I practice the orthodox swordsmanship of the Taoist sect, not the martial arts on the street. The move I just made is already an extremely brilliant move in swordsmanship. Those immortal masters you have seen are probably incompetent That's why." Ling Kang said with a smile: "Oh, I can't see that the great chivalrous man Ling is already a master of swordsmanship! I heard that to practice Taoism and Qi training, you need to build a good foundation from an early age. I don't have such a good life. Look at your nephew, is he worthy of cultivation?"

Ling Chong said seriously: "I once asked the master to calculate the luck of the Ling family. The old man said that the Ling family has accumulated Yin virtues, and the family has Yuqing, so I have the destiny to practice Taoism. But this opportunity is completely exclusive to me, so at least Within six generations, no descendants of the Ling family had the chance to practice Taoism."

Ling Kang was very disappointed, and said: "I still want your nephew to practice Taoism with you, and also fight for a long life, and come back to save his father." Ling Chong said: "My master has no plans, absolutely not Lie to me. The descendants of the Ling family are not suitable for cultivating Taoism, so I have no doubts. But I have planned for a long time." I have to pester him again, Ling Zhen interrupted him: "Okay, you don't talk about strange powers, your brother has the opportunity to become a qi practitioner. Scholars are fine, the cultivators in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, how can everyone live forever and be as brilliant as the sun and the moon? Since Master Chong'er said so, then it is so, don't force it."

Only then did Ling Kang stop, and Ling Chong smiled and said, "Here I have a formula for practicing qi. It's not a method for immortals to prove Taoism and longevity, but it's the most upright and peaceful method, and there is no danger of going crazy. Practice it in one day. One day's entry, especially everyone can practice, regardless of qualifications, age, father and grandmother, aunt, sister-in-law, and nephew can practice, as long as they take good care of it, it is not a luxury to live beyond the age of [-]."

Ling Kang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "There is such a good thing? Hurry up and pass it on to me! Let me also try how mysterious the Taoism of the Xian family is?" Ling Zhen reprimanded with a serious face: "There is already How can people in the family still be so evasive? How can it be spread out!" He said to Ling Chong: "There is also a method of meditation in Confucianism, and you don't need your formula, I'll leave it to you. Your nephew is older, pass it on to him!"

Ling Zhen, on the other hand, is more knowledgeable than this son Ling Kang. He has seen several Xuanmen immortal masters in his life, and he knows that the formulas for practicing qi are the core inheritance in every sect. If Chong Ruo passed it on privately from his master, the loss outweighs the gain if the incident happens in the future.

Ling Chong said: "Father, don't worry. My child got this formula by accident. It is not restricted by the Taixuan sect. It has a clean origin. It doesn't matter if it is passed on to anyone." Then he recited a qi training method, and pointed out The trick is.This method is naturally transformed from the method of the Taiqing Xuanshi Qi of the Taiqing School. It has a gentle temperament and can best preserve life. It is really the top grade of Taoism.

The Taixuan Sword School's sword formulas are too fierce and soft, not in line with the way of health preservation, and it is not easy to pass them on privately.Only Taiqing sect's formula, Ling Chong's own family is the current head teacher of Taiqing sect, he can pass it on to whoever he wants, it's very convenient, even if boy Huiming is here, he can't say anything else, the most he can say is that he is a fake public servant That's all.

After passing on the essence of the formula, Ling Chong specifically pointed out: "This formula is all about sitting, it's easy to start, and correcting its roots originated from a great sect of Taoism ten thousand years ago, but it's a pity that it has long since disappeared. But the great enemy of that sect has been passed down, everyone in my Ling family can practice this skill, but it must not be revealed to the outside world, otherwise it will be a catastrophe!"

How the Taiqing Sect was destroyed back then, Ling Chong didn't know much about it. He only knew that Qingxu Daozong was behind it. The Patriarch just stood by and watched, refusing to take any action in the world of reincarnation, so there must be a last resort.Since Guo Chunyang acquiesced in Ling Chong's practice of Taiqing Talisman, he must have been familiar with the case of Taiqingmen, and his attitude towards this matter has always been ambiguous. , it doesn't matter.

Ling Zhen said: "This formula is of great importance, it's better not to pass it on to the outside world, and Kang'er and I don't need to practice it." Ling Chong laughed and said: "What my son said is just in case, father don't need to talk too much about it." Don’t worry about it, just let it go and practice. Even if someone comes to the door, there will be a child to deal with it.” Ling Kang finally got a piece of the fairy family formula, how could he give up?He also said: "Father is also worrying too much. Since the second brother has plans, it doesn't matter if we practice this formula. At worst, we should keep our mouth shut and let others not notice."

Ling Chong changed the subject and said, "My son saw King Jing's rebel army retreat in the capital, what's going on now?" Ling Zhen snorted, angry at the mention of King Jing's rebellion, and said, "Before, Zuo Huairen led the rebellion. The army came, as long as Jinling was captured, King Jing would have the status of emperor. God has eyes, but Zuo Huairen left in disgrace when he failed in the end. Since the defeat of the capital, King Jing led the army south and returned to the fief. A few days ago, an appeal was issued, slandering the crown prince for murdering his father and usurping the throne, but instead he became King Qin's righteous teacher. Emperor Hui has passed away, and King Jing regards himself as orthodox. Elder Zhang Ge and other veterans sit in the township, as solid as gold, even if King Jing proclaims himself emperor, the foundation is not stable, and there is news that Zuo Huairen offered advice to King Jing, and he will definitely take the land of Jinling for a big plan. Once again, the land will be reduced to a place of war and chaos!"

Ling Chong asked: "Prince Jing is so rebellious and dares to preside over and proclaim himself emperor, what is the crown prince's move?" Ling Kang said: "There are rumors in the capital that the late emperor has been buried, and the crown prince will be enthroned in a few days. I just heard that often King Songqin has made meritorious deeds in escorting the prince, and he is also the uncle of the prince. Now he has been appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and Prince Shaobao. He has joined the cabinet to discuss politics and lead the world's military and horse affairs. However, Mr. Zhang Ge is not very good with the prince. It is said that the prince intends to deprive him of his power."

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Taizu first used eunuchs, and later established the Wenyuan Pavilion to take charge of the country's official affairs.Those who can enter Wenyuan Pavilion are all important ministers for a while, and they are called Grand Scholars.According to the ancestral system, there are only five to seven people.Since Zhang Shouzheng entered the cabinet in the seventh year of Emperor Hui, he has successively served as the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion, and has been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for decades, with a deep foundation.The crown prince ascended the throne to be in charge of the government and wanted to monopolize the power, so he naturally regarded Zhang Shouzheng as a thorn in his side, and it was the expected method to use Chang Song to check and balance Zhang Gelao by emphasizing his relatives.

Ling Chong is from outside Fang, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to such intrigues. He said: "My lord Zhang is not a person who is greedy for power. The new emperor ascended the throne, his foundation is unstable, and there are rebellions outside. It is time for the help of old ministers." , the crown prince is so eager to restrain the boss, I am afraid that he will chill the heart of the old minister, which will be detrimental to the national system."

Ling Kang slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's right! The prince is a man who likes to boast and talk, but he is not the master of a wise king..." Ling Zhen reprimanded: "A rebellious son who has no king and no father, how dare he do this? You're treasonous! Don't shut up!" Ling Kang froze for a moment, honestly kept his mouth shut, and started drinking.

Daming Jiangshan was greatly injured by King Jing's troubles, and he was assisted by demonic monks, causing chaos everywhere. If the crown prince can work hard to govern and reuse virtuous ministers, he will not be able to put down the rebellion in the first place. Now it seems that he is eager to take power before he is enthroned, and he is mean and widowed Well, he is infinitely stronger than Prince Jing.Ling Chong pondered for a moment, then sighed.He had anticipated Zhang Shouzheng's matter in his heart, and only hoped that it would not come true, otherwise it would really make the heroes of the world sigh.

Ling Chong said: "If Zuo Huairen leads an army again, will Jinling have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" Ling Zhen said: "After the last military disaster, the city of Jinling has learned from the pain, and wrote to the crown prince, requesting to send a general to lead troops to help. In these days, troops are widely stockpiled to prepare for a battle. But Zuo Huairen is a famous general in the world, and he uses troops strangely. There are not many people who can compete with him. Moreover, the world has been at peace for a long time, and Jinling soldiers are not used to war, so it is a big problem. Hidden danger."

Ling Chong didn't want to say in detail that there are some masters of magic in Prince Jing's army making troubles, he just said: "If King Jing really came to the city, father can take the whole family to Bixia Temple to take refuge. I have an old relationship with Monk Bixia, so he will definitely take him in." Ling Chong Zhen smiled and said: "You are so confused about cultivating Taoism! I have learned the principles of sages and sages for my father all my life, and I only want to help the people. If one day the rebels come to attack, I have to die to die for the Ming Dynasty. How can I retreat to avoid disasters?" reason!"

Ling Chong smiled wryly, knowing that his father had made up his mind early, he didn't persuade him too much. The three of them drank until midnight and rested separately.At five o'clock on the second day, a servant girl came to call the door. Ling Chong sat upright and practiced Qi, only to hear the girl say through the door: "Second young master, the old lady got up very early today. Young Master Sun is going to Bixia Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, please go with us!"

Ling Chong smiled and said: "I see, you go and tell grandma, I'll be there later!" After finishing her clothes, she came to the living room, and saw the old lady having breakfast with Cui and Ling Kang's wives, and smiled when she saw Ling Chong Said: "Last night I dreamed that the golden body of the Bodhisattva appeared holy. On a whim, I went to Bixia Temple to offer incense. I pulled your aunt and sister-in-law, and you monkeys will follow me!" Ling Chong smiled and used it hastily. After breakfast, the old lady took her grandson's little hand and got into a small sedan chair, followed by the sedan chairs of the two wives, and Ling Chong led several servants on horseback as companions.

Seeing his nephew sleepy-eyed and not daring to disobey his great-grandmother, he had a very aggrieved face and went to visit his mother frequently, but Ling Kang's wife just ignored him, secretly amused.Ling Chong was about to meet Monk Bixia, and escorted the female family members of the Ling Mansion all the way to Bixia Mountain. He remembered that when he did not become a Taoist more than ten years ago, he accompanied his grandmother to Bixia Temple to offer incense. The students sighed a bit.

King Jing's army was defeated and left, but the land several hundred miles outside Jinling City was still peaceful, and there were no robbers who had cut their paths. At noon, they arrived in front of Bixia Temple, only to see a middle-aged monk wearing a red cassock, welcoming him in front of the temple. It was the monk Bixia who smiled after a long distance: "The younger brother came here with the old lady to offer incense more than ten years ago. Today is just like reincarnation. Wouldn't it be amazing?"

Ling Chong got off his horse and said with a smile, "It's not reincarnation, but the past reappears." He helped the old lady get off the sedan chair.Mrs. Ling was not surprised to see Monk Bixia greet the guests in person.Mrs. Cui was secretly surprised when she saw this Bixia divine monk talking and laughing with Ling Chong, who looked very familiar.

Monk Bixia didn't say much, and respectfully invited several female family members to enter the Daxiong Hall to offer incense.There were no other people in the hall, only two old monks with white beards were waiting for them. The old lady took her great-great-grandson's little hand and knelt down to worship the golden body of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Taoist disciples do not kneel when they are tall, but they also respectfully bow to the golden body of the Buddha.

Monk Bixia stood aside with a smile, and when the visit was over, he said: "The old lady has worked hard from afar, and the poor monk has ordered to prepare a table of vegetarian banquets, and please serve the old lady in the meditation hall in the backyard." The old lady smiled and said: "To tell the truth, I come here to offer incense, and I also want to try the vegetarian food in Bixia Temple. The dishes are much more delicious than the ones in my house. My mother and I are going to have a vegetarian meal by ourselves, so Chong’er doesn’t have to accompany us, anyway, you can’t eat it It doesn't matter if you eat it." He led the two adults and one child to the meditation room in the backyard.

Monk Bixia smiled and said: "Your brother is far away, why not come to my abbot, how about we talk about a game?" Ling Chong said: "I am not good at chess, so don't laugh at me, brother." , retreated from the crowd, and sat opposite each other.
