Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 138 Returning to Beijing
After Lin Ruhai left, Jia Qiang first practiced the 'Taixu Sutra', and he never stopped practicing this practice.

After practicing the 'Tai Xu Jing', he did not sleep at this time in the past, but took out a book to read.

After practicing the 'Taixu Meridian', his body and spirit will return to their best condition, and there is no need to adjust through sleep.

This time he took out the 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbency' and read through the 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbency' again.

He was lying on his side on the bed, with the left side of his body touching the bed with his elbow and toe and thumb, and his stomach expanded as he inhaled.

Then he exhaled the air in his stomach for a long time, the slower the better, and then inhaled slowly again, also the slower the better.

At the same time, he sketched in his mind the picture of 'Maitreya Buddha's True Body' in "Maitreya Meditation". This is a method of visualization, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get started even if they want to practice it.

Jia Qiang's spirit was strong enough, and coupled with his super memory, he was able to outline the 'Maitreya Buddha's True Body' in his mind in just a short time.

When he inhales, the 'Maitreya Buddha's true body' in his mind inhales in the same way, and when he exhales, the 'Maitreya Buddha's true body' also exhales in the same way.

Every time you breathe in and out, the 'Maitreya Meditation Lying' technique starts to work on its own.

Five of the six great kings died, and only Fudo Myoyo remained. After returning to the White Lotus Sect, Fudo Myoyo became interested in the 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbency'.

Lightening literally means that he has become lighter, or that for some reason, the gravity of his body has been reduced.

Jia Jingang does not need to rest. He stands guard at the courtyard gate. At the same time, if anything happens, he can directly notify Jia Qiang.

'Maitreya Zen Recumbent' is a sacred skill of the White Lotus Sect, which has always been practiced by the leader.

In addition, Jia Qiang selected twenty sergeants at the Yangzhou camp, all of whom were personally selected by General Luo Wu.

These twenty sergeants were Jia Qiang's personal soldiers. Taking advantage of the opportunity to master the military symbols, he prepared twenty personal soldiers for himself.

Jia Qiang walked out of the room. He was very unaccustomed to the current feeling, as if his body was being carried while walking.

And practicing the big gun is the best way to practice strength, so he practiced the big gun in the yard.

When he got off the bed, he immediately felt the effects of the practice and his body became lighter.

He just felt that it had not been long ago, but through his contact with Jia Jinguang, he knew that it was already dawn outside.

It's a pity that Fudo Myōō met him, and all of Fudo Myōō's secret skills were useless.

Jia Qiang didn't know where the White Lotus Sect got this 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbent', but he was very happy that it could improve his spirit.

The imperial envoy's return to Beijing was no secret.

This is only a small part, the real largest number is the gold and silver jewelry copied by the Huang family.

Now just waiting for the reply from Beijing, there will be a big shock in Yangzhou officialdom.

It seemed that if he used more force, his body would take off directly.

"Hey, his spirit has improved again!" Jia Qiang unexpectedly found that his spirit had improved a little. This was not an improvement obtained by practicing the 'Taixu Jing'. He had already had some idea of ​​the effect of practicing the 'Taixu Jing'. learn.

Under normal circumstances, Jia Qiang's sense of time is very strong, which is the instinct of a strong person.

Jia Qiang thought that when King Fudo Ming performed Qing Kung in the air, he dodged in the air before being hit by the cannon. At this time, he finally knew the reason.

The highest official in the Yangzhou Prefecture who came to see Jia Qiang off was Zhang Zhizhou. Lin Ruhai from the Salt Transport Envoy's Yamen side also came to see her off, and General Luo Wu from the Yangzhou Camp also came to see her off.

Practicing the 'Taixu Sutra' and 'Maitreya Meditation' together can improve his strength faster.

Jia Qiang took out Lin's treasured gun, and her body suddenly became lighter, so he had to quickly get used to it again.

This does not mean that his power has achieved a breakthrough. He opened his game character status panel, and there was no change in the power on it.

Each of the twenty sergeants has a clean financial background. With the consent of the sergeant, the family members of the twenty sergeants will also go to the capital with the ship.

The leader had no idea about the White Lotus Sect's techniques, and without the supervision of other great Ming kings, Fudo Ming King brought out the 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbent'.

Nowadays, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, due to unexpected reasons, does not care about the White Lotus Sect's magical power of suppressing the religion. This magical skill of suppressing the religion is stored in the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, and is jointly supervised by the great Ming kings.

Perhaps compared to the relatively comprehensive improvement of 'Taixu Sutra', which not only improves the spirit, but also improves strength and physique, 'Maitreya Meditation' only improves the spirit, which is a bit single.

Of course, not everyone who practices the 'Maitreya Zen Lying' technique will have the same effect as Jia Qiang. He was able to improve his spirit a little bit after practicing 'Maitreya Zen Lying' for the first time. That is because his spirit itself is powerful.

However, he seemed to have lost this ability while practicing 'Maitreya Zen Lying'.

Practicing the 'Maitreya Zen Recumbent' made Fudo Myoyo much more relaxed when practicing his own skills, and he made great progress.

The return to Beijing was quickly decided. This time Jia Min and Lin Daiyu were accompanying them. Since Lin Ruhai decided to return to Beijing soon, she had to bring more things with her.

The higher the spirit, the stronger the learning ability. This has been verified by Jia Qiang.

When practicing 'Maitreya Meditation', time seems to disappear in an instant.

The sudden extra energy should be related to the practice of 'Maitreya Zen Lying'.

But not many people actually came to see Jia Qiang off. Magistrate Wu was now in a state of panic. The White Lotus Sect emerged from Yangzhou Prefecture, and his subordinates were implicated, making Magistrate Wu's official position uncertain.

On Zhang Zhizhou's side, on the one hand, Jia Qiang said some good things for him in the book, and on the other hand, Zhang Zhizhou was a member of Emperor Jingwen. Not only did Zhang Zhizhou have no fault, but he had merit.

When setting off from the Yanyunshi Yamen, there was a long carriage team with more than 120 carriages, which made everyone who saw this team couldn't help but marvel.

In addition, Jia Qiang also has a lot of her own belongings.

But you must know that the spirit of ordinary mortals is very low. Even if the genius among them is converted into a game value, it is only a dozen points.

He exhaled the last breath in his stomach and ended the night's practice.

Speaking of which, this 'Maitreya Zen Recumbent' is actually a technique that enhances the spirit of the practitioner.

As for bringing the family members of soldiers back to the capital, this is a common practice for training soldiers.

These family members will be treated favorably and are also hostages.

Soldiers are very important. Many officers who go to the battlefield are accompanied by their own soldiers. The soldiers fight desperately for the officers, and even use their bodies to block swords in life-or-death situations.

Since Jia Qiang ran the government alone, he could not train his own soldiers. He could only select them from the army. Although his loyalty was not comparable to what he had trained since childhood, he could still be considered useful.

The twenty personal soldiers he wanted were not really to protect him, but to take them back as bodyguards at home. The twenty people selected from the Yangzhou camp are no weaker than the retired sergeants who protected the Mada salt merchants. They are enough to serve as housekeepers and nursing homes.

Jia Jingang rode a tall, high-quality Shire horse and followed several prison cars.

In the prison car were Prince Fudo and Huang Quanyi, as well as Huang Quanyi's wives and children, but Huang Zhiyuan was not among them.

Huang Quanyi's eyes were dull, his head and hands were stuck in the prison car, and he looked helpless.

His wife and child felt much better. They were locked in a large prison car and did not suffer.

Fudo Mingou was even more miserable than Huang Quanyi. Not only was his head and hands stuck in the prison cart, but his whole body was also chained with thick iron chains.

Fudo Mingwang would look in Jia Qiang's direction with a pair of malicious eyes from time to time, but every time his eyes glanced at Jia Jingang, he could not help but show a look of fear.

He really knew how perverted Jia Jinguang was. In front of Jia Jinguang, he was as powerless as a child.

The river-suppressing sword that he couldn't imagine was being held on Jia Jingang's shoulders.

Maybe when others saw the River Suppressing Sword, they would suspect that it was just a fake. If it were an iron sword, it would weigh much more, but Prince Fudo Ming had personally seen the River Suppressing Sword knocking away a thousand-jin cannon with one strike.

Jia Qiang asked Jia Jinggang to guard the prisoners in order to prevent anyone from robbing them.

But it was obvious that he was overthinking it. Until he boarded the Western-style gunboat, there was no prisoner robbery.

Jia Qiang said goodbye to Lin Ruhai and other officials. He walked onto the deck, and his property and women got on the ship as early as possible.

"Go back to Beijing!" Jia Qiang commanded in a deep voice.

The Western-style gunboat left the dock and slowly entered the channel.

On the second floor of the Western-style gunboat, Lin Daiyu lay in her mother's arms, looking at Lin Ruhai getting further and further away from the shore, and couldn't help sobbing.

Fortunately, there were many female relatives following back this time. Jia Min, Miaoyu, and the other girls all spoke out to persuade Lin Daiyu to stop crying.

This was the first time Lin Daiyu left her father, and since her parents did not die like in history, she no longer pretended to be strong.

This time, it was not a boat trip to the capital, but a mother and a group of sisters accompanying him.

Only Jia Qiang truly understands all these changes. Of course, there may also be immortals who know Lin Daiyu's fate.

The Western-style gunboat sailed normally. Jia Qiang asked Jia Jinguang to stand at the bow while he returned to the cabin.

In addition to the two floors on the deck, this Western-style gunboat is also divided into three floors below the deck. The middle floor is the artillery floor, the upper floor is the personnel living area, and the lower floor is for cargo and oarsmen if necessary. Area to speed up boating.

The function of the paddler's paddling was not used in the original Japanese pirates. It only had a designed paddle position. When needed, the paddle could be extended and accelerated by human power.

After Jia Qiang took over the Western-style gunboat, he did not use this function. The sails on the ship were generally sufficient.

Most importantly, the current boat boss has no experience in using oarsmen. This kind of boat with lower-level oarsmen has never been used in Daqian.

There is only one sailor on this floor now, and the device for listening to sounds in the water is on this floor. Any abnormal noise in the water will be transmitted to the sailor's ears through the device.

Sailors can report the findings through the pipes connecting the upper and lower levels. These are the results of the ship boss's research on Western-style gunboats during this period.

Jia Qiang is willing to still use the Western-style gunboat when he returns to Beijing, because he is more confident in the Western-style gunboat. This Western-style gunboat may not be suitable for transporting goods, but it is the best at fighting.

When Jia Qiang returned to the cabin, she saw Lin Daiyu surrounded by women. Lin Daiyu's eyes were a little red, and she could tell that she had cried.

Lin Daiyu noticed Jia Qiang looking over and quickly covered her eyes, not wanting him to see her embarrassment.

"If you don't let Yan Ding escort you, will there be any trouble?" Jia Min asked with concern.

"The use of salt is not reassuring. This time I brought twenty soldiers and it was enough!" Jia Qiang explained with a smile.

"You just have to figure it out. Anyway, your teacher will trust you!" Jia Min shook his head and smiled.

It wasn't that she was worried about Jia Qiang, but she felt that there were relatively few guards this time, and there was a lot of wealth on the ship, enough to make many people do crazy things.

"If Mistress feels bored, just go sit on the rooftop terrace!" Jia Qiang introduced to Jia Min.

The structure of the boat we took this time was different from the previous ones. There was no terrace on the second floor. Instead, a platform was built on the second floor for activities.

In order to allow everyone to live comfortably on the boat, Jia Qiang ordered people to renovate the decoration inside the boat in advance. In the past, the aesthetics of Japanese pirates was completely different from that of Daqian.

Nowadays, all the decorations on the ship are the best on the market. Who knows that he is rich and wealthy? With just tens of thousands of taels of silver, he can completely change the appearance of the Western-style gunboat, but also the interior.

"Can you go up now?" Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up and she asked.

"There are stairs at the back, and you can go to the terrace from there!" Jia Qiang pointed in one direction and said.

"Mom, let's go to the terrace and take a look at the scenery!" Lin Daiyu didn't dare to go up alone, she begged Jia Min.

Jia Min touched her head affectionately, took her hand and walked towards the stairs. The other girls couldn't sit still and followed her.

When they arrived at the terrace, the girls found that the terrace had been arranged into a small garden.

There are neatly maintained lawns on the ground, as well as fish ponds and a variety of precious flowers and trees. All of them are integrated on the small terrace, forming a special scenery.

"Brother Qiang, you are interested!" Jia Min saw Lin Daiyu who was very happy, and turned to Jia Qiang and said.

"It's nothing. If you want to stay on the ship for a long time, you must have a place where you can relax!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

For the layout of this terrace, he invited a garden master from Jiangnan to create the scenery in front of him.

Perhaps in the eyes of people of this era, the layout of the Western-style gunboats was already very impressive, but in the eyes of Jia Qiang, who had enough silver, the layout of the Western-style gunships was far from his ideal layout.

In the memory of his previous life, those large cruise ships were his ideal goals. Western-style gunboats were already large ships in this era, and they did not need freight, so they had enough space for decoration.

"This grass is so comfortable!" Miaoyu said with a smile as she sat on the grass, feeling the fragrance of the grass.

Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were similar in age and both were very young. They were not as reserved as the other girls, so they also sat on the grass.

They were all away from home, but at this time they temporarily forgot the sorrow of separation, which made Jia Qiang feel that everything she did was worth it.
