Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 4 Dare you always be a "Second Protection School"?
A willow branch lay quietly behind the iron gate, exuding jasper-like light, like a huge treasure waiting for a destined person holding the key.

This treasure is simply too tempting!
That is likely to be the inheritance left by the old sword master surnamed Yu who is the fourth innate star-picking realm!
Jiang Shan, the No. [-] person guarding the Sutra Pavilion, stepped forward and closed the iron gate first, then picked up the glowing willow branch, and turned to look at Jiang Qingyu.

His eyes were complicated, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

Immediately, Jiang Qingyu felt terrified.

"Uncle Jiang Shan, I, I didn't see anything!"

Although he also believed that Jiang Shan had no dissent towards King Jubei, under the temptation of the old sword master's inheritance, it was not surprising that the other party would do anything.

With the strength of Jiang Shan's innate second-rank Haoyue Realm, he took advantage of the gap when the king refused to lead people to the north gate, and killed himself and the hidden guard. As long as he escaped from the palace, where could he not go?

In the future, if he relies on the legacy of the old sword master to be lucky enough to be promoted to the innate third-rank Luminous Sun Realm, then the entire Chu Kingdom will treat him with courtesy, in order to reject the character of the Northern King. People have grudges.

Jiang Qingyu felt like a piece of fish on a chopping board at this moment, ready to be slaughtered.

At this time, he only had one request left:
"Uncle Jiang Shan, for the sake of my father, just knock me out and save my life, okay?"

As for after falling asleep...

Hehe, let's see if I don't get out of my body and beat you up too!
However, seeing him like this, Jiang Shan sighed in disappointment:

"Is Fourth Young Master so afraid of death?"

"My lord went up to the mountains at the age of 12 to become a bandit, and then went down to join the army at the age of 20. He has experienced more than [-] battles in his life, and was wounded in more than [-] places. He almost died more than a dozen times, but he never said a word of fear to anyone!"

"The second son also joined the army at the age of 12. He will take the lead in every battle and never flinch. The blood from the wound can fill a bucket."

"Why are you afraid of death when it's fourth son's turn?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Uncle Jiang Shan, you can just scold me, why do you have to step on it and praise my second brother Jiang Qingjian so much?

Dare you always be a "Second Protection Sect"?
"Is it abnormal to be afraid of death? If there is a chance, who wouldn't want to live?"

Jiang Qingyu said calmly:

"As for the two examples given by Uncle Jiang Shan, the truth is actually very simple."

"If you can die well, no one will be afraid of death."

"If I were on the battlefield today, with tens of millions of Liming people in the Chu Kingdom behind me, even if I was just a sick person with no strength to restrain a chicken, I would still charge forward with my sword in hand and never back down."

"But today I am in the Sutra Pavilion. It is meaningless for me to die here. It will only make my enemies applaud. The firecrackers in Yongzhou are sold out in one day."

"Uncle Jiang Shan, if it were you, would you rest in peace?"

Hearing Jiang Qingyu's explanation, Jiang Shan's eyes began to change.

As expected, none of the prince's sons is a coward, and all of them are dragons and phoenixes!

"It's a good sentence, if you can die well, then everyone will not be afraid of death!"

"I hope you will do what you say, and when you go to the battlefield in the future, don't look forward and backward, be greedy for life and fear death."

After speaking, he smiled and threw the willow branch in his hand to Jiang Qingyu.

The willow branches are like jasper, warm to the touch, but there is a tingling tingling sensation, like thousands of sharp swords the size of needlepoints poking one's skin.

Now it was Jiang Qingyu's turn to be confused.

"Uncle Jiang Shan, don't you take a look?"

It's fine if you don't kill me, what do you mean by giving me willow branches?
My father, my second brother, which one doesn't seem to be more qualified than me to receive the gift of the old sword master?

Could it be that I misunderstood, you...

In fact, he has always been a staunch "Four Protection Faction"?
Jiang Shan smiled friendly:

"Isn't it strange, my lord? With the temperament of the second lady, how could there be willow branches used by the old sword master on the sixth floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion?"

Jiang Qingyu was slightly taken aback.

That's right, with that old woman's temperament, thousands of books and the entire bookshelf of the Sutra Pavilion were moved to the incense burner yard of the second brother, and this willow branch would be missed?

He looked at Jiang Shan, could it be...

Jiang Shan nodded and admitted with a smile:

"My lord may have guessed it."

"I hid this willow branch privately."

Jiang Qingyu didn't understand:

"Why did Uncle do that?"

"Is it for me...?"

Jiang Qingyu herself couldn't believe it.

Between the genius second son respected by thousands of people and the good-for-nothing fourth son whose reputation has collapsed, someone would choose me?
You are too good at seeing people, right?

But it's a pity that this time Jiang Qingyu was acting affectionate.

"Young master thinks too much."

Jiang Shan explained:
"I'm just following Senior Yu's orders."

"To be honest, my lord, when Senior Yu was in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he taught me a sword, and I have the cultivation base of the second-rank Haoyue realm thanks to that sword. Maybe he doesn't care about mere details. One and a half instructions, but I have always kept them in my heart, and dare not forget his reinvention grace."

"Later, Senior Yu told me one thing before he left."

"He asked me to keep a section of willow branch on his behalf. He said that if one day I see the person who makes the willow branch shine on the sixth floor, I will give the willow branch to that person."

"He said that this person is the disciple he has chosen long ago."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu suppressed herself from laughing out loud.

This……

Why did all the good things happen to me?

Come to the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion, and unexpectedly fall into a master who is the fourth-rank congenital star-picking realm?
You know, the master of the Jubei Palace, the master of the Jubei King, was only in the third grade of the Innate Sunshine Realm in his peak period!

Jiang Qingyu held back so hard that her mouth almost crooked.

Ha... No, I have to hold back, I can't let Uncle Jiang Shan look down on me!
Seeing this scene, Jiang Shan said helplessly:
"Laugh if you want."

"Don't hold back your illness."

"In the entire Chu Kingdom, there are no more than ten legends who are in the fourth stage of congenital star picking. It is inevitable that the young master's mood will fluctuate a little."

Jiang Qingyu lowered her head in shame:

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

In fact, Jiang Qingyu shouldn't be like this. After all, when he fell into a dream, his soul body was equivalent to an innate master of the third rank. It is only a matter of time to break through to the fourth rank after tempering his body.

But the soul body is just the soul body after all.

Once he wakes up, he is just a mortal who is inferior to a first-rank martial artist.

Jiang Qingyu's emotional adjustment took Jiang Shan a little by surprise:
"Young master, don't you really want to smile?"

Jiang Qingyu shook her head.

What's so funny about an old man.

Why don't you wait until you return to Ziyan Courtyard, and then release this good mood on your two pretty maids.

Jiang Shan pointed out:
"Then please young master put the willow branch in front of his forehead, as Senior Yu said, so that you can get the gift he left behind."

After saying this, Jiang Shan took out another key and put it on the table beside him, then opened the iron door and went outside:

"I'll wait outside the door for the young master."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingyu immediately stopped the other party:
"No need, Uncle Jiang Shan, I trust you."

It would be a lie to say that there is complete trust.

Jiang Qingyu was also worried that Jiang Shan would turn his back on him after he got the inheritance.

But if the other party really plans to inherit the sword master, then he will definitely not kill himself before getting the complete inheritance, at most he will lock himself in a certain place and torture him.

Since I won't be able to die for a while...

Then there is a chance to dream.

You can dream, so what are you afraid of?
It's better to be more generous, maybe let Jiang Shan get closer to him.

In any case, Jiang Shan is also a master of the innate second-rank Haoyue realm. His cultivation base is second only to King Jubei himself among the people in the palace. If he can be drawn to his side, then the probability of his second brother Jiang Qingjian becoming the son of the prince will be reduced. point.

"Is this... suitable?"

Jiang Shan hesitated for a while.

It must be a lie to say that he doesn't want to see the inheritance of the fourth grade of congenital.

But the fourth son is not testing himself, is he?

However, just as he was thinking, Jiang Qingyu had already placed the willow branch on his forehead.

Inheritance is on.

This scene frightened Jiang Shan to close the iron gate tightly again.

Fortunately, he never set up secret guards on the sixth floor, otherwise, if other people saw this scene, the fourth son would definitely be taken away by the second wife after he left.

In an instant, the willow branches began to emit green light, which began to flicker continuously. The room on the sixth floor became flickering under the light, and several oil lamps were also extinguished in an instant.

From the light and dark changes again and again, Jiang Shan seemed to see the trajectories cut by the sword.

"Senior Yu is really a strange person."

He looked at Jiang Qingyu who was intoxicated at this moment, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I seem to understand why the old man accepted the fourth son as his apprentice."

"Fourth son, he is also a strange person."
