Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: Entering Dao with Martial Arts
In the early morning, Ye Qing walked under the eaves and looked up at the sky. Heavy rain was pouring down, but there was not much thunder and lightning at this time. It was late autumn.
As he was watching, he saw someone coming in with a food box, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie Yuan, everyone has come to the hall, you can use it before going back."
With that said, he opened the food box, which contained rice porridge, fried cakes, steamed buns, pickles, and scrambled eggs with fungus for breakfast. The aroma was overflowing.
Ye Qing smiled and took a bowl of porridge, and saw that some water was added, but it was not tea, and it was very fragrant.
Seeing Ye Qing's surprise, someone said: "This is Camellia oleifera, it can help your energy, and it is better than some medicines - please use it, Lord Jie Yuan"
After using these, Ye Qing went to the lobby.
There were twenty people sitting in the hall at this time, mostly young people around the age of twenty. It seemed that they had been preliminarily screened according to Ye Qing's request last night.
Sunlight shone in through the window lattice, and Ye Qing stood tall in front of the case and glanced down the hall.
To be honest, although Jiang Chen was an enemy general, his main opponent was Yu Fan. Ye Qing was just a shrimp at that time and had not even met him a few times.
I originally planned to let Jiang Zinan investigate by name and do some work first. Last night she opened up her feelings, and there was a tacit understanding between the two of them. Ye Qing didn't want to ruin this warm feeling, so let it go.
"You are all descendants of the Jiang family. You have all read books and understood the truth. You must all know the agreement between me and your clan leader." Ye Qing glanced at him and stood up and walked around. His voice sounded very serious in the sound of the wind and rain.
Clear: "This is not only an adoption, but also my clear invitation to leave my hometown and follow me to Pingshou County."
Having said this, Ye Qing smiled: "There is a master-servant relationship here. I don't want to deceive everyone. If you don't want to, you can withdraw now. I will give you a stick of incense time to think about it."
After saying that, he nodded, and a pair of jade hands stretched out from behind, lit a stick of incense and placed it on the table on the spot. He put half of his body behind his back. He knew it was Jiang Zinan without looking.
In the corner of Ye Qing's eyes, she took out another document with bare hands and handed it to the Jiang family's maid to pass it on.
These words were a little too naked for these young people. Everyone passed around the document. Although they had explained it before, they still looked at each other and started discussing.
Some frowned in thought, while others subconsciously looked towards the door.
But at this moment, the clan leader Jiang Ruisong stood at the door. The clan leader's face was expressionless, but his eyes glanced over. Some people were startled, and those who wanted to go out hesitated.
Through the curling green smoke, Ye Qing glanced at everyone with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the corner.
In the corner, there was a young man with a pensive expression. When he looked through the Sky Eye, he saw a group of struggling gray air, with a faint blue light inside.
However, the fifteen thousand taels of contracts, Jieyuan's status and karma, and the expectations of the whole family, all turned into a rolling and depressing pressure, forming a vortex of luck, suppressing the struggle.
This gray-white energy struggled several times, and it showed that the young man's face was red, his eyes were shining with insults, he was angry, and he almost left in despair, but he was affected by the comments of his companions, his luck, and the patriarch guarding the door.
deeply disturbed.
As the incense gradually burned out, the young man tried to leave several times, but stopped again. The last time he even moved his body, he was stared back hard by the patriarch.
To the clan leader, these children are not considered the elite of the clan, but just the middle-class ones. It is very cost-effective to exchange a middle-class son for this benefit.
Ye Qing's heart was pounding, but he remained calm. He sat upright, his eyes looking like paint, and he had a heart-wrenching demeanor.
After a while, the incense was gone and no one left. Ye Qing was heartbroken. This was basically done. The following was just a formality.
With a nod of his head, Jiang Zinan came out behind him, holding a stack of papers and passing them out.
Everyone whispered to each other for a while, and found that everyone had the same topic on their paper, except for one topic: "The Northern Wei army went south, and 2,000 of them entered through the dark road in Beimang. You led 500 troops to guard Xiping Mountain Pass, and they were at the front."
, how to deal with it?”
Not long after, various answers came to them, most of them were very rigid, but some were organized, and some even made Ye Qing a little brighter.
I turned to one and stared at the name Jiang Chen. I was startled for a moment before I looked down.
"Check the geography of Xiping, set up a barrier on the North Pass, let it pass, and block the return path with rocks and rocks. Choose an opportunity to cover up the enemy from behind, and the two armies will die in the valley."
...Compared to the later ones, it is naturally rough and even a little taken for granted, but the writing is vigorous and the words are iron-blooded, revealing a kind of belief, which is the prerequisite for a top warrior.
Ignoring the vaguely hostile young man in front of him, Ye Qing looked at the papers. After a while, he took out three pieces and asked them to come up one by one.
Seeing this, the people who were not selected let out a cry, not knowing whether it was disappointment or joy.
The first two people were very organized. Ye Qing praised them one by one, took out the last one and asked: "May I ask your name?"
"Jiang Chen." His voice was a little suspicious, but he was still calm: "What advice does Jie Yuan have?"
"Oh, Jiang Chen." Ye Qing gnawed his head and said with a serious expression: "This is a good idea."
"Really?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised, but his expression looked better after being recognized by Yizhou Jieyuan.
Ye Qing smiled again, showing his bright white teeth: "However, military strategists must check the geography. I went to see it when I came here. The geography of Xiping is like this..."
As he spoke, he rowed a few times, and everyone immediately had an intuition. They only heard Ye Qing ask: "Such a steep terrain is difficult for people to cross, so how can we transport rocks up and block the return path?"
"It's steep and narrow, and there is no hiding place. How can we make the enemy invisible and kill them from behind?"
"Ignoring the terrain and fighting decisively in the valley, why do you abandon your strengths and take shortcomings?"
After asking the question in three sentences, Jiang Chen's face suddenly turned red and he was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Zinan pursed his lips and smiled. He thought he would be eliminated, but at this time Ye Qing said calmly: "But strategic talent can be trained, but bloodiness is difficult to train - are you willing to succeed my uncle?"
Are there fireworks in this room?”
As soon as this was said, everyone was startled. When the patriarch Jiang Ruisong saw it, he knew that he was a distant nephew. He also had three sons at home, and he felt reassured.
He also thought about why he chose this person. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he must be stupid and easy to handle. Then he smiled and said: "Jie Yuangong has a good vision. Although my nephew can't read many books, he still has some martial arts. It's just right."
Can do an errand"
Seeing Jiang Chen still stunned, clan leader Jiang Ruisong felt a little unhappy, and his voice suddenly became deeper: "Why, you don't want to?"
Jiang Chen's face turned pale, then turned red, and he clenched his fists. But in the blink of an eye, he remembered his mother's instructions in the morning: "Son, if you are chosen, don't be stubborn. This is not an adoption to an outsider, it's your uncle."
, it’s still my own family, and the clan leader has said that whoever is chosen will be given an extra twenty acres of land.”
Thinking of how hard it was for the three brothers to be raised by their mother alone, all relying on more than six acres of thin farmland, the anger that was originally erupting cooled down.
Seeing the clan leader's fierce gaze again, he remembered the rumor of fifteen thousand taels, and his heart felt cold again. After being stunned for a moment, he finally bowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to my lord."
With this bow, the gray air on Jiang Chen's head shook, and traces of white air poured down, until it was faintly red, and a hint of green appeared inside.
Jiang Ruisong was overjoyed when he saw this: "Now that I have paid homage to my lord, let's hold the succession ceremony next."
Jiang Chen was dizzy and didn't know where he was. When he regained consciousness, he was already on a bullock cart. He looked around and saw the mountains slowly receding on the road outside the window. He was suddenly startled: "I am..."
"Brother is awake?" Jiang Zinan smiled, lowered the curtains, and looked at him curiously. Based on her childhood memories and looking at his current appearance, she always felt that this new brother was not worthy of the praise of a young master...
There was nothing strange on his face, and he explained: "After the adoption ceremony, the young master set off, and you are now my brother."
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard that. Then he looked at the girl in front of him. She was clearly dressed as the legitimate daughter of the family. At this moment, he came to his senses: "You are..."
"My younger sister's name is Zinan. I remember that my brother went to school relatively late, and we were still studying together when we were young." Jiang Zinan said with a smile.
Jiang Chen said: "Hello, sister Zinan, long time no see..."
Ye Qing paid attention, and when he heard the conversation in the car, he felt Jiang Zinan's resentment through the curtains, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When he looked at his luck, he found that there was no luck to help him, but rather less. However, Ye Qing had gained a lot of luck. Although he now practiced the Black Emperor's Dao Sutra, his destiny was greatly expanded and he had absorbed most of it, but he could still bear it.
The conversation and exchange just now was not just about reason, but also about the suppression of luck. Successful recruitment and investment came, but Jiang Chen was obviously not convinced yet and had not returned to his heart. He had no luck since then, and he even suffered some losses for the time being.
, Of course, even if there is luck, Jiang Chen is just a piece of jade at present and has not been carved into a tool. Where can he get the luck?
"Why do I feel like I didn't trick this guy, but this guy..." Ye Qing was speechless for a long time with a dark face, and then he concentrated on looking at Chuanlin's notes.
When I turned to the page about carp, I saw that there was more water vapor around the carp, and I was overjoyed - I did not lose money.
No matter what Jiang Chen thinks in his heart, the title of the chief minister is certain, which will invisibly have a restrictive influence, and it will still be beneficial in the long run.
"Jiang Chen is a stubborn stone on the outside, but a gem on the inside. In his previous life, he joined the army. Later, he was appreciated by the governor and passed on a few pieces of the Great Book of Changes. He suddenly showed his sharpness and made great progress with each passing day."
"The Great Yi Martial Arts Scripture was compiled in one dynasty. Although the Martial Arts Scripture is actually a method of entering Taoism through martial arts, I only need to make a few modifications and pass it on."
"Once you have completed the cultivation and obtained the last few chapters on how to enter Taoism through martial arts, you can continue to practice Taoism and make great progress with each passing day."
"I will teach the Xiaowu Sutra to Qianqian, Jiang Chen and others when I get back."
"The five emperors' mental skills all have this characteristic. The greater the power, the faster the practice. With this help, I am afraid that in three months, I will be able to remove the luck of the Dragon Lord's Banquet and absorb everything else into it, and truly become mine."
Good luck."
"Only when everything becomes my destiny can I truly achieve the first level of Tianyi Sutra."
