Chapter 1140: Cultivation to Immortality and Immortality
In the summer of this year, they appeared in Chang'an City.
At this time, Chang'an City had regained some prosperity.
The old streets are full of shops, cars and horses, and people are flowing.
The two found a restaurant, ordered some food, and asked about the Cui family's situation.
As a super aristocratic family, the Cui family of Qinghe often made bets on multiple powerful forces. Including the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, people from the Cui family basically entered the powerful class.
Cui Ying's father, Cui Yu, was the representative of the Cui family who invaded the former Zhao Dynasty.
Four years later, Cui Yu went from "Te Jin" to "Da Sikong". Logically speaking, "Da Sikong" is an important minister in the court and a truly superior person. But that refers to the time when the country is unified and strong.
.If you are in troubled times, as a small country, you can live in a corner, even if you become a great Sikong, it will be an empty shell, not as good as a great Sima with a heavy army.
This cannot be blamed on Cui Yu's incompetence, because the masters of the former Zhao were Huns, and the kings of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms were all "Hu people". Although they have been Hanized for many years, they are still wary of Han aristocratic families like the Cui family of Qinghe, and will not
Let them control heavy troops.
That evening, Cui Ying and Li Chen jumped into Da Sikong's mansion without going through the front door.
Cui Ying met her mother.
At this time, although Mrs. Cui was only in her forties, she had gray hair on her head and crow's feet on her face.
Mrs. Cui saw that her daughter was still as beautiful as a flower, and her figure was as voluptuous as that of a girl. While she was happy, she was also a little curious: "My child, how have you been doing these past few years?"
Cui Ying smiled and said: "Mom, my husband and I are free and happy, living a life like a fairy."
"What magical day? Where do you live? Do you have a sheltered house? Do you have enough food and fruits? Are you experiencing war and chaos?" In Mrs. Cui's view, even if Li Chenjun is highly skilled in martial arts, he does not have the support of his family.
It is difficult to make a mark in troubled times.
She didn't know that Li Chenjun had no intention of making great achievements. Otherwise, with his skill, it would not be difficult to kill all the monarchs of the sixteen countries and plunder the world's wealth for his own use.
Originally, Ancestor Yideng sealed young people's skills in order to make them spend a long time to unblock them. Unexpectedly, Demon Saint Qingmei replaced the Immortal Scripture and asked Li Chenjun to take a shortcut with the help of "Yin Yang Harmony Book" and break the seal in advance.
The seal on the body restores the cultivation level of the golden elixir stage.
Cui Ying told her mother where she had traveled throughout the years.
"Mom, Lang Jun and I have been to Liaodong, where we dug ginseng and picked deer antlers with our own hands; we have been to the northwest desert and seen exotic customs; we have also gone to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to pick red water chestnuts and lotus seeds..."
She invited Li Chenjun who was standing outside the door to come in and presented her with ginseng, velvet antlers, cistanche deserticola, polygonatum odoratum, fritillary and lotus seeds. In addition, there were ten luminous pearls! Each one was bigger than a goose egg, and the other one was
It's very big, similar to an ostrich egg!
Seeing those night pearls, Mrs. Cui was stunned!
"Quick! Go and call the master over!"
Cui Yu came in from outside, looking at Li Chenjun with an angry face: "You are so brave, you kidnapped my daughter, and you still dare to come see me?"
Li Chenjun bowed and saluted: "Father-in-law, please calm down. My son-in-law is here to apologize."
Cui Yu said: "I'm going to kill you!"
"Father-in-law, please don't use your sword. If you are still angry, you can hit me with a hundred military sticks."
"You think I don't dare to fight? Come here, catch him and beat him to death!"
"Wait a minute, my son-in-law came to see the two elders secretly. Don't make it known to everyone. Why don't my father-in-law do it himself?"
"Okay, then I'll do it myself and use the family method!" The family method he mentioned is a wooden stick with thick fingers, which is different from a military stick. He is a middle-aged scholar, holding a wooden stick and whipping hard,
It is also difficult for Jin Dan to be harmed.
Mrs. Cui quickly persuaded from the side: "Master, don't do anything yet! Look at the treasure presented by my daughter!"
"What treasure?" Cui Yu was also shocked when he saw the ten luminous pearls: "Each treasure like this is priceless! Where did you get it?"
Cui Ying said: "Dad, this is what Lang Jun specially found for you. Please don't be angry, okay?"
"That's all! Since you've presented your treasure, I won't punish you."
Cui Yu was just pretending. He knew that Li Chenjun was extremely powerful and even his ancestor Cui Xinghe was no match for him. How could he, a scholar, dare to fight to death? What if he offended the other party and got violent and hurt others?
He touched the luminous pearl, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He thought in his mind: "With these treasures, if I offer them to the ten kings, I can bring the family to a higher level."
Since it is a rare treasure, it cannot be given to the same person.
In the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, each king will give one. The Cui family can reap great benefits.
Cui Ying smiled and said: "Dad, we can get more luminous pearls like this."
Cui Yu looked at her, waved his hand and said, "No need. Things are rare and valuable."
"What if I get a bunch of very small luminous pearls, as big as pigeon eggs, and give them to the Cui family for sale? If you make money, just give me 20% of it, and the remaining 80% goes to the Cui family!"
"Well, you can consider this..." The Cui family in Qinghe has a great business and their desire for money is endless. If they can accumulate huge wealth, how could Cui Yu refuse?
Cui Ying thought to herself that just earning a few thousand cars of money would be enough to spend her money. She didn't want to be a rich man with thousands of acres of fertile land. In the era of war and chaos, if she didn't buy a house or land, no matter how much money she had, she wouldn't be able to spend it.
Li Chenjun didn't care about money even more, because decades later, when he left, no matter how much wealth he had, he couldn't take it with him.
They settled in Chang'an City.
In July of this year, Liu Cong died of illness and Liu Can succeeded him.
In August, Jin Zhun launched a coup and killed Liu Can. Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan who guarded Chang'an, sent troops to attack Jin Zhun.
In October, Liu Yao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. At the same time, Shi Le rebelled and established a new country, known as "Later Zhao" in history. After that, Liu Yao and Shi Le often attacked each other. Due to Liu Yao's high-pressure measures against various ethnic groups in the Guanzhong area
Due to his poor policies and incompetent governance, he focused on fighting, the country declined, and Shi Le controlled a vast area of Hebei. A few years later, the former and later Zhao fought in the west of Luoyang City. Liu Yao drank too much and was captured and killed by the later Zhao.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the situation becomes more and more turbulent, Cui Yu sells a batch of luminous pearls as big as pigeon eggs, in exchange for a fortune, and hires hundreds of servants.
These hundreds of servants were carefully selected and trained by Li Chenjun for several months to become stronger.
When winter comes, Cui Ying and Li Chen both leave Chang'an City and return to Laojun Mountain to practice cultivation.
The valley where they live is located in the hinterland of Laojun Mountain, surrounded by mountains. The cold wind is blocked by the mountains, making it much warmer than outside.
Time flies, and 7 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The second transformation of the "Eighteen Transformations of Yin and Yang" was completed.
Cui Ying's skill has reached the late stage of foundation building. And Li Chenjun's skill has also increased by half a level, reaching the middle stage of Jindan.
At this time, the former Zhao Dynasty had been destroyed, and Shi Le of the later Zhao Dynasty occupied Chang'an City.
Cui Yu presented a luminous pearl as big as an goose egg, which made Shi Le happy, and he became a high-ranking official of Later Zhao.
However, Cui Ying found that her parents were obviously getting older, with more wrinkles on their faces and their hair turning gray.
When Mrs. Cui saw that her daughter was still a gorgeous girl, she was indescribably surprised: "My child, you are almost 30 years old, why are your waist still so thin? Your skin is still so smooth? You have been married for more than ten years, why haven't you given birth to a child?
Half a girl?”
Cui Ying said: "Mother, my husband and I are both cultivators of immortality. As long as we practice hard, we can live longer at the cost of not being able to have children."
"Ah? How can that be done? As a woman, if you don't have children, what will you do when you get old?"
"Lang Jun said that cultivating immortals can keep you young forever and you will not grow old."
"Nonsense." Mrs. Cui felt that although cultivation could delay aging, it was only superficial. No matter what, in the end people would grow old and die and turn into withered bones.
Even Cui Ying doesn't know whether cultivation can lead to immortality, but she feels that her vitality has not weakened with age, but has become stronger with the progress of cultivation, so she would rather believe that cultivation can lead to immortality.
.
Mrs. Cui sighed: "I am getting old. Fortunately, my children have grown up and I have several grandchildren. My eldest grandson Cui Cheng is very talented, but his body is too weak. If you have any idea, can you help your nephew to take care of himself?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
The next day, Cui Ying met her nephew Cui Cheng and taught him the secret of breathing.
Taoist breathing is divided into different levels. The deep level can make people become immortals and achieve Taoism, and the shallow level can make people healthy. Just like the breathing method taught by Danyangzi Ma Yu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Guo Jing,
Guo Jing unknowingly developed internal strength.
Later, when Cui Cheng grew up, he became the governor of Qi County in the former Qin Dynasty, the secretary supervisor of Later Yan Dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs in Taiwan, the minister of southern Northern Wei Dynasty, and the censor Zhongcheng. He had seven sons, among whom Cui Yi, Cui Yi and Cui Yijie were the most important.
Famous. When the Liu Song Dynasty occupied Shandong, Cui Yi served as the governor of Qing and Ji Provinces. Cui Yi served as an official in the Liu Song Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty occupied Qing and Qi. After Qi Dynasty, Cui Yi's grandson Xiangru entered the Northern Wei Dynasty. Cui Yi initially served as the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Washing horses, he was promoted to the rank of regular servant of Sanqi, and was later appointed as the governor of Jizhou by Emperor Taiwu of Wei Dynasty.
It can be seen from this that the children of the clan in these years are really rich and noble since they are born with golden keys in their mouths.
Cui Ying stayed at home for a month and then returned to Laojun Mountain to practice meditation.
From then on, she would go back every one or two years to take a look.
Her skills continue to improve, and she is getting closer to the peak of foundation building.
