Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 195

The original half of "On Heaven"?
The little girl was startled.

It is rumored that when Mr. Xun Lao wrote "Tian Lun", it was a dark rainy night decades ago.

At that time, the capital happened to encounter the once-in-a-century rain disaster.

It was raining heavily, and the wind was blowing, and it went down day and night for three days and three nights!
The people were terrified, and they all climbed to the roof to avoid the disaster. The previous old emperor of Chu State ordered to send troops to rescue the victims, and opened the inner city gate to transfer the people to the higher palace.

However, due to insufficient manpower, only a small number of people were rescued.

Just when people are panicking.

Mr. Xun Lao wrote the first word of "Tian Lun".

With one stroke, suddenly, countless righteous aura descended from the clouds.

Suddenly, the whole capital was as bright as day!
At the same time, the voice of the old man reciting the article rang in everyone's ears.

Every time he wrote a word, he read a word.

Even though he was in the academy, every citizen in the capital heard his recitation and started to recite unconsciously.

It seems that hundreds of thousands of students read together at night!
Wait until the last word of "Tian Lun" falls.

Above the capital, the black clouds receded and the wind stopped and the rain stopped!

The people were so grateful that they knelt down in the direction of Jixia Academy and shouted "Saint"!
But on the second day, Xun Yong said modestly:
The word saint is ashamed and dare not be called a saint, and he was not alone in eliminating the rain disaster last night.

So some people speculated that the ancestor of the Dragon Raising Realm from Jing's lineage had also secretly helped.

The awe-inspiring righteousness that descended from the clouds that day was divided into three parts, one part was absorbed by Mr. Xun and turned into cultivation, the other part became the background of Jixia Academy, and the last small part was absorbed by the original "Tian Lun"!

Therefore, "Tian Lun" originally became one of the few treasures of the academy!

Later, a student who won the first place in the spring examination was lucky enough to borrow "Tian Lun", and once he had an epiphany to know the innate, it made countless people covet this book!

But the owner of this book is Mr. Xun Yong, the legend of picking stars, no matter how jealous outsiders are, they dare not offend him!
After all, Mr. Xun is loyal to the royal family!

But in the capital city, there is an ancestor of Jing's lineage sitting in town, who is suspected to be the only half-immortal in the world who raises a dragon!

"Hasn't the original version of "Tian Lun" been sealed up in Jixia Academy?"

"When was it stolen by an outsider and torn in half?"

Xiaoman was surprised for a while, and at the same time kept opening the wooden box to take a few peeks, as if suspecting that it was just a fake.

"Don't read it, the book is real."

Jiang Qingyu rubbed the little girl's head, her eyes doting:
"I can feel that there is a lot of pure righteousness left on every page. If I fully understand the true meaning of the book, I can incorporate it into myself, maybe..."

"There is a chance to realize the innate."

The little girl had also heard the conversation between Jiang Shan and Jiang Qingyu just now, and knew that her young master was going to compete with Fan Yu, a student from Jixia Academy, in the capital in a month.

She originally planned to secretly send a few killers to tie up Fan Yu and abolish his cultivation, so that Jiang Qingyu could easily win.

But now it seems...

"My lord, you can feel the awe-inspiring righteousness in the book. Does that mean that you, like Fan Yu, can follow the path of Confucianism and suddenly realize the innate nature?"

Xiaoman looked happy.

But Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

Epiphany innate?

How can it be so easy!

Fan Yu began to study Confucianism since he was a child, and he didn't realize his innateness until he was 32 years old. He is already a rare Confucian genius in decades!

And I only have one month left, even with the help of half of "Tian Lun", it is absolutely impossible to catch up with the other party by this way!
"In Jixia Academy, many students have borrowed "Tian Lun" and took away a lot of awe-inspiring righteousness. Now I have only half of the copy in my hands. Compared with the past, the awe-inspiring righteousness is completely gone. one."

"So the road of Confucianism is not easy for me."

Jiang Qingyu changed the subject:
"What makes me more interested is that Uncle Xu's martial arts cultivation is only at the peak of the Bright Moon Realm, and he has been staying in the palace for the past few decades. Where did he get the half of the original "Tian Lun" from?"

"He and the Confucian sect have never had half an intersection!"

Xiaoman blinked:

"Could it be that the prince lent the hand of Steward Xu to the young master?"

Jiang Qingyu shook her head:
"Uncle Xu doesn't need to lie. If it belongs to my father, he wouldn't say it was a congratulatory gift from me."

"So, this thing must belong to him personally."

But why would a legendary treasure of the Star Reaching Realm appear in the hands of a housekeeper of the Haoyue Realm?
There is a distance of thousands of miles between the Jubei Palace and the capital!
It's really hard to guess.

"Young master, don't think too much, let's rest first!"

Xiaoman smiled mischievously:
"If you have any doubts, just ask Butler Xu in person some other day?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded:
"Okay, it's getting late, you go and clean your room first, I'll move these wooden boxes in by myself, and come and take a look with me after you finish cleaning, how about it?"

"Okay!"

The little girl smiled.

……

After a stick of incense.

The two masters and servants gathered in the room and began to disassemble the boxes containing gifts one by one.

It is worth mentioning that the two daughters, Lvqi and Duyou, were also called by Xiaoman, saying that they might encounter some unrecognizable objects, and asked the two daughters to help identify them together.

After the first gift was opened, it was a blood-colored jade pendant the size of a palm, with a pattern of a phoenix resting on a lyre.

"This is……"

"Feng Yuanyu!"

Xiaoman exclaimed, and introduced:

"A hundred years ago, there was a husband and wife lecturer in Taishan Academy. The wife was good at playing the piano, and the husband was good at playing the zither."

"The two couples are deeply in love, and they are a pair of immortal couples that everyone envies."

"But it's a pity that my wife was born with a terminal illness and is destined not to live past the age of 45."

"When she was seriously ill, the husband and wife sang together for the last time. Their love was so deep that they improvised the famous song "Phoenix Comes"!"

"At the end of the song, a vision of a phoenix appeared in the sky, which attracted spiritual energy empowerment, and both of them were promoted to the Sunshine Realm!"

"but……"

"Because of composing this song, my wife was physically and mentally exhausted and passed away."

"Before she died, she poured her cultivation into a jade pendant she carried with her."

"And the husband, like her, abandoned the cultivation of the Sunshine Realm, injected it into the jade pendant, and then chose..."

"Martyrdom."

Jiang Qingyu opened another gift from Taishan Academy.

Inside is indeed another jade pendant——

The pattern is a phoenix standing on a zither.

"It's Huang Yuanyu!"

Xiaoman picked it up and couldn't put it down.

Since the grade of jade is not top-notch, after hundreds of years, more than [-]% of the spiritual power in the jade pendant has been lost, and its value has been greatly reduced.

But for her, what is important is the symbolic meaning of this pair of jade pendants!

"do you like it?"

"If you like it, I will send it to you."

Jiang Qingyu picked up Feng Yuanyu with a smile and tied it around her waist.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Man immediately blushed, lowered his head, and silently held Huang Yuanyu tightly in his hand.

On the side, Luqi and Duyou looked enviously.

Jiang Qingyu couldn't help being amazed.

The old palace master of Taishan Academy is really treacherous and cunning!

Even if he dares to give this kind of jade pendant as a congratulatory gift, he is not afraid of being stabbed in the back by the lecturers and students of Taishan Academy!
"Okay, let's look at other gifts."

After getting Feng Yuanyu and Huang Yuanyu, Jiang Qingyu was more and more looking forward to the remaining congratulatory gifts, so she hurriedly picked up another wooden box and opened it.

Xiaoman and the others also had bright eyes.

……

It was a productive night.

Although the remaining dozens of congratulatory gifts were not comparable to the pair of jade pendants that the old Palace Master used to make an apology, none of them were ordinary things.

Among them are the first-class elixirs refined from ancestral formulas, precious medicinal materials no less than 100 years old, and rare antiques such as celebrity calligraphy and paintings.

What's more, a set of beauties pictures of 36 pretty beauties from Chu State was also given away!
It is worth noting that the one signed on the picture is Fan Yu's teacher, the painter Cheng Zhe who killed his original wife after gaining power!

This made Jiang Qingyu a little more disgusted with this person.

In front of Xiaoman and others, he didn't take out the painting and criticize it carefully, but just threw it aside and ignored it.

Finally, he took out the congratulatory gift from his second wife Jiang Jing, and slowly opened it.

"My lord, it's a grass!"

With a complicated expression, Jiang Qingyu spit out three words:

"Raising dragon grass."

……

at the same time.

The Jiang family in Yongzhou.

After learning that Jiang Qingyu became the eldest son, Jiang Yu, the head of the Jiang family, locked himself in the study all the time without seeing anyone.

Even if his wife and son persuaded him to eat, they ignored him.

At this time, the study room was in a mess, with torn precious calligraphy and paintings and broken vases and jades everywhere, several bookshelves were also knocked down, and hundreds of ancient books that were left outside were thrown into the Brazier.

Jiang Yu squatted beside the brazier with a ferocious expression:
"Damn it, damn it all!"

Jiang Qingjian failed, and the Jiang family's years of planning were in vain!
What makes people even more desperate is that Emperor Jing Hong had written an imperial decree two months ago, conferring on Jiang Qingyu the heir of the Prince of Rejecting the North!
This made Jiang Yu restless, thinking that the entire Jiang family had been abandoned by the royal family!

And without the support of the royal family, what would he use to fight against Prince Jubei and his son?Why did the Jiang family get involved in the three northern states?
It is not difficult to foresee that the Jiang family's hands reaching into Bingzhou will be cut off one by one by the father and son of the King of the North!

"I hate it!"

"As soon as today, we should kill Jiang Qiushui's youngest son at all costs!"

Jiang Yu roared, angrily tore apart more than a dozen ancient books, and threw them into the brazier one by one.

Immediately, flames rose up, almost burning his robe!

But he turned a blind eye, but the expression on his face became more and more terrifying.

Suddenly.

A gust of wind blew and pushed open the door of the study.

next moment.

A man in a black robe wearing a mask walked in slowly.

Unlike Nu Luo and other killers, his mask was pitch black without any patterns, and he seemed to be an unknown person.

But the aura on his body is unfathomable!
"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in!"

With his back to the door, Jiang Yu roared angrily:
"Get out!"

However, the man in black didn't give him any face, instead he smiled:
"Patriarch Jiang. Why are you so angry? Did someone offend you?"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yu trembled all over.

He glanced back to confirm the identity of the person who came, and then there was an expression on his face that dared not speak.

"First landlord!"

He boldly questioned word by word:

"You Huamanlou cooperated with Jiang Qiushui to help his young son subdue Beidi. Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"

"If I had known that you and Jiang Qiushui were colluding, why would I have issued a reward in Huamanlou to assassinate his youngest son?"

Jiang Yu felt that he was tricked by the person in front of him!

Things have developed to where they are today, thanks to Huamanlou's contribution!
But the man in black chuckled lightly:
"Patriarch Jiang, it is the rule of our business not to sell the privacy of customers. I hope you can understand."

"but……"

"The cooperation between me and Jiang Qiushui is over now. Today, I came here to find you in person, just to solve your problems."

"Solving problems?"

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and looked directly at the other party, while the anger on his face gradually subsided, and he returned to his usual calmness:
"What can you do, and what do you want?"

If you can let the first landlord come and talk about it in person, what you ask for must be priceless!
He must be careful!
The black-robed man laughed, with a frivolous tone:

"Patriarch Jiang, in the bounty you bought Jiang Qingyu's head earlier, there is an incomplete secret technique that helps break the barrier of the realm."

"I know that it is the innate fifth-grade secret technique brought out by your ancestors from the palace, and..."

"You have the full version!"

"..."

Jiang Yu didn't deny it, nor did he admit it.

He just didn't change his face, and there was no flaw on his face.

The black-robed man continued to follow the lead:
"Patriarch Jiang, the conditions are the same as before, as long as you come up with the complete secret technique, I can personally kill Jiang Qingyu for you."

"You know, this seat is in the Star Reaching Realm, and if I surrender my status to kill a junior of the fourth grade acquired, there is no chance of missing!"

"Even Jiang Qiushui himself can't stop him!"

"..."

Jiang Yu stood there, silent for a while, with repeated struggles on his face.

After a long time, a stern look flashed across his eyes:
"it is good!"

After one word fell, he threw all the few ancient books left in his hand into the brazier.

In an instant, the flames soared, reaching the height of a human being!
And Jiang Yu stood behind the flame, with a crazy and cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Qiushui, you forced me!
