Seeking Immortals

  Chapter 296 Life and death depend on God

  Li Qing didn't intend to guide Yang Ying to cultivate immortality, let alone teach him.

  Not to mention the weak spirit, even in the age of spiritual prosperity, he would not easily save people into the immortal way, let alone now he still has the consideration of dyeing the red dust for Mingwei's true spirit.

  However, it doesn’t hurt to pass on Yang Ying’s Roushui Qiduanjin. Li Qing got the Roushui Qiduanjin from Mingwei’s hands and entered martial arts, so he gradually gained the power to protect himself.

  Now that Mingwei's true spirit is fostered in Yang Ying's body, Roushui Qiduanjin can be regarded as Mingwei's gift to Yang Ying.

  Yang’s family used to be backed by a family of third-rank officials, and knew many martial arts masters in the capital. Now that the backing has declined, but a few favors are still there. It is not difficult to choose a martial arts master for Yang Ying.

  With Yang Ying's four spiritual roots, he was a martial arts genius in the age of spiritual weakness, and he had no innate bottleneck. Once he stepped into martial arts, as long as his original intention remained the same, he could probably become an innate master.

  It was already dark, Yingzi sent Yang Ying back to Yang's restaurant, then back to the erhu shop, lying at Li Qing's feet.

   "Yingzi, leave a mana shield for Yang Ying. After that, you don't have to see her again. After the body protection mana is used up, don't worry about it." Li Qing said calmly.

  From this day on, Li Qing closed the door to see no outsiders, and no longer went to Yang's Restaurant to eat or drink.

  Erhu music is played leisurely and gracefully in the house, but it never spreads outside the door.

  After Yang Ying got the Roushui Qiduanjin, she returned home happily, thinking that Uncle Li didn't want to teach her how to cultivate immortals today, maybe he will meet again in the future, so she decided to cook dishes by herself and make some snacks for Uncle Li.

   I also need to sew a collar for Uncle Li. The winters have been very cold in recent years. Uncle Li is in his thirties, and he didn’t ask anyone to take care of him.

   "Uncle Li is a fairy, so what care does he need?" Yang Ying suddenly smiled.

  Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yang Ying flipped through the Roushui Qiduanjin scriptures. She could read all the words, but she couldn't understand them. Uncle Li only gave the scriptures without any special explanation.

   "Uncle Li, is this testing me?"

   "It must be!"

  Yang Ying tried her best to look at the scriptures, but she still couldn't understand, and finally fell asleep.

  That night, Yang Ying had a dream. She was taken into a palace by sister Mingwei. This seemed to be a palace, but it was not the same as the Dagan Palace. When she was a child, she had seen the Dagan Palace.

  In the previous dream, she was too familiar with Sister Mingwei, and accompanied her to the rivers and lakes, traveling around the world, acting chivalrously, but Sister Mingwei had never spoken to her.

  In the palace, sister Mingwei suddenly began to explain Roushui Qiduanjin to her, and taught her how to practice it herself.

  It turns out that Roushui Qiduanjin is exactly the martial arts used by Mingwei's sister to walk the rivers and lakes.

  Yang Ying practiced martial arts with sister Mingwei in a trance. In the second half of the night, she had nightmares again, but she was not so scared anymore.

  As soon as it was dawn, Yang Ying asked her maid to get a water tank and began to repair Roushui Qiduanjin.

  Yang Xuan specially came to visit, knowing that Yang Ying had obtained martial arts from Li Qing, he no longer cared about Yang Ying, but went to thank Li Qing, but Li Qing didn't see him.

  With the mysterious experience in the dream, or in addition to the fact that Yang Ying and Roushui Qiduanjin are in perfect harmony, she cultivates extremely fast, and she can get through the first serious scripture in half a month, and her martial arts cultivation has entered the third-rate.

  At this time, Yang Ying came to her senses and said, "Oh, I am so fascinated by martial arts, I forgot to say hello to Uncle Li."

  Yang Ying went to the erhu shop to meet Li Qing with the snacks she made herself, but Li Qing didn’t see her, and even Yingzi didn’t come out. Li Qing passed a word in the house: “From now on, you don’t have to come.”

  Yang Ying paused, seemed to realize something, his eyes were a little blurred, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Li, I was wrong, I will not ask Uncle Li for immortality again."

  At this moment, Yang Ying understood that Li Qing really wouldn't teach her the magic of immortality.

  …

  If you can't learn the magic of immortals, you still have to live. Yang Ying is even more obsessed with martial arts cultivation.

  The speed of cultivation makes Yang Ying suspect that this is not the era of spiritual weakness at all. She can even perceive a mysterious factor floating between heaven and earth, but she cannot absorb that mysterious factor.

  Yang Ying guessed that the mysterious factor, or immortality.

  Yang Xuan saw that Yang Ying was practicing so fast, and knew that his daughter was a martial arts genius, so he took out his accumulated wealth to buy precious medicinal materials for Yang Ying to nourish his body.

  The business of the Yang family restaurant is not good. The family property is shrinking a lot. Living in the capital is not easy. Before relying on the third-rank officials, the restaurant business is booming. Now it is difficult to make money without a big backer.

  Three years later, Yang Ying was fourteen years old. He had already mastered the twelve classics and became a first-class master.

   This level of talent in martial arts is rare in the world.

  Yang Ying knows that there is a fairy way, but her meager level of martial arts cultivation is inconspicuous in the eyes of immortals, and she has been hiding her cultivation as a submerged cultivation.

  Three years later, Dagan became even more chaotic.

  The king of Chu occupied the capital, led himself as the regent, took the emperor to order the princes, and issued orders to the princes, but the princes did not listen at all.

  The various parts of Dagan are still separated from each other, and many princes still regard Emperor Qianwen as the rightful lord, although Emperor Qianwen has been missing since the capital city was destroyed three years ago

Four months ago, King Zhenxi suddenly issued an announcement saying that the country was broken and people's livelihood was in decline. Emperor Guangwu was deceived by villains and could not protect the common people in the world. Jianyuan Chongwu.

  The king of Zhenxi made a great wish to wipe out all kinds of troublemakers and bandits, and return to a bright and peaceful world, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment.

  The King of Zhenxi played the slogan of putting the people first, and turned the separatist forces from all over the country into bandits that harmed the people.

  Seeing this, the king of Chu couldn’t sit still anymore. Proclaiming himself emperor was an act to strengthen the cohesion of the army and the people in the territory, so that the army and the people would know who their master was.

  Half a month ago, a conspiracy broke out in the capital. An assassin sneaked into the palace and assassinated Emperor Guangwu.

  Today, the king of Chu proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Chu, and established Yuan Mingzhen.

  At the enthronement ceremony, the king of Chu announced: "In half a year, we will attack Qi, avenge Emperor Guangwu, and save all the people from fire and water!"

  On the day when the King of Chu ascended the throne, Li Qing killed a man, and a thief entered his house to steal, and he slapped him into a pulp.

In the backyard of the Yang family, Yang Ying heard the news of King Chu's ascension to the throne, and said coldly: "They are all traitors. King Zhenxi murdered Emperor Yuanming, King Chu forced Emperor Wen to leave Beijing, and killed Emperor Guangwu. They are all great thieves. I will kill them sooner or later." Use the sword in your hand to take your head!"

  The Yang family was originally a relative of Emperor Wen, and Yang Ying didn't like King Zhenxi and King Chu.

   Half a year later, the King of Chu led an army to conquer the Qi Kingdom. Yang Ying opened up the veins of Ren on this day and stepped into the top of martial arts.

  It was also on this day that Yang Ying began to go out of the house with a sword in hand, expressing gratitude and enmity.

  …

  The king of Chu fought this battle himself, and it lasted three years.

The news from the front continued to spread to Beijing. The two forces of Qi and Chu, Chu came from behind and occupied Qianjing. The power rose steadily and was stronger than Qi in general. , causing damage to the Chu generals.

  Both sides suffered huge losses.

  In the latest battle, the innate master of Qi State led his cavalry directly to the central army of Chu State, smashing the central army, and Chu State was defeated.

  The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and every battlefield in Chu State has been defeated.

  When the officials of Qianjing heard the news, they couldn't help sighing: "Is Chu State about to be defeated? The world is in harmony?"

   "Grandmaster Xiantian, you really have such power of determination..."

  The army of Chu State retreated all the way to the old fiefdom of the King of Chu, where the King of Chu had a stable foundation and was still capable of fighting.

  Ganjing once again suffered a bloodbath.

  This bloodbath did not follow the proper rules, it was just killing randomly.

  As the old capital of Qian and Chu, Qianjing has different people's hearts, so there is no need to worry about massacres.

  The families of businessmen, officials, and landlords were all copied and killed on trumped-up charges.

  Yang’s restaurant couldn’t escape, a group of soldiers came and burned the restaurant to the ground.

  Yang Ying is not at home at this time. After becoming a top master, she often acts as a hero in the capital, stealing from the rich and helping the poor.

   After Yang Ying rushed home, she found that the Yang family had been burned. She thought her father had died tragically. When she regretted it, Yang Xuan appeared intact.

  Yang Ying wiped her tears and said joyfully, "Uncle Li saved father?"

  Yang Ying hasn't seen Li Qing since she was eleven years old, but she knows that Li Qing is always there.

  Yang Xuan shook his head: "No, those officers and soldiers robbed and killed people everywhere and destroyed people's houses. Brother Li didn't take any action. I took the initiative to hide in the inner door of the Erhu shop and escaped the disaster."

   "Brother Li is really a strange person. The door of the store cannot be broken by water or fire. The officers and soldiers have nothing to do with it. Some senior members of the rear army personally apologized to Brother Li outside the house."

   "Brother Li ignored it, so the expert had no choice but to leave politely."

  In the sixth year of Chongwu, Qi State defeated Chu State, and surrounded all Chu's troops in the old fief of Chu King.

  At this time, another shocking news came out. Emperor Qianwen, who had been missing for several years, appeared!

  In that year, Gu Funian was defeated, and his son Gu Rufeng collected the remnants of the army, made peace with the King of Zhenxi, and separated himself from the land, making himself king.

   But it was actually planned by Emperor Qianwen.

  Emperor Qianwen heard Gu Funian's military report back then and knew that Dagan would be defeated. Gu Funian said that his son was trustworthy and could be used as a way out, so Emperor Qianwen made this plan.

  After Emperor Qianwen escaped from the capital, he came to Gu Rufeng's army.

Now that Emperor Qianwen saw that Qi and Chu were fighting and both sides were hurting, he officially appeared and issued an imperial decree, detailing the murder of the two emperors by King Zhenxi and King Chu, and providing detailed evidence, calling on all princes to work hard for the king. Only King Zhenxi and King Chu.

  Some people with a heart for greatness responded one after another, and even many princes, feeling that they had no capital to compete for the top, also voted for Emperor Qianwen.

  Gu Rufeng has been secretly operating forces for these years, and his strength is not weak. Then the princes came to vote, but both Qi and Chu suffered losses, and Emperor Qianwen's power became the strongest again.

  When Li Qing heard the news, he couldn't help but smile: "Such a fight is interesting, full of ups and downs."

  Since he realized the opportunity to learn the Dharma six years ago, he has been watching the changes in the world from the perspective of a mortal.

  At this time, footsteps came from outside the house, it was Yang Ying.

   "Uncle Li, I'm going to find Emperor Qian Wen, and help Emperor Qian Wen eliminate the rebellion and restore peace to the world." Yang Ying bowed to the door.

  Li Qing, who hadn't spoken to Yang Ying for six years, thought for a while, and said, "Go, Yingzi has left a magic power on you, which can protect you once, after that, life and death are up to God."
