Chapter 4 The rain falls and listens to all things, and the Taoist goes down to Cangshan
That night, in the bedroom of Taoist temple, Jiang Lan sat cross-legged and entered a state of breathing.
The cool true energy flowed in his body. After running for a whole day, it spread again. It flowed into more tiny meridians, penetrated deep into the end, nourishing Jiang Lan's body more comprehensively and transformed silently.
After about half an hour, Jiang Lan withdrew from breathing and suddenly opened her eyes.
In the dim hut, a very conspicuous light flowed in his eyes, very magical.
"The effect of the entry-level eight thousand witherings is simply outrageous!"
Jiang Lan compared it briefly. After entering the school, the eight thousand witherings and prosperity are several times the speed and mass of refining true qi.
"I don't know what the effect of Xiaocheng's Eight Thousand Floods and Winds is." Jiang Lan muttered.
He remembered that in the 100-day foundation building method, practice was divided into five stages. On the eight thousand withered and prosperous, it should correspond to the five realms of first glance, entry, small success, great success and perfection.
In a few days, he will be able to consolidate his cultivation. Under the nourishment of more pure and rich true qi, his body will also transform to a corresponding new level. This should be the body that refines essence into qi and is leak-free as recorded in the 100-day foundation building method.
"Boom..."
A roar of thunder sounded, and then, the sound of rain falling from outside the house was heard.
After the breakthrough, Jiang Lan listened to the thunder for the first time. His increasingly sensitive facial features actually gave him a different feeling.
In an instant, he felt as if he was above the sky, and the lightning was blooming beside him, as if dancing with the thunder.
But in a blink of an eye, the rain suddenly became fierce.
"Crash..."
The heavy rain poured down, washing away time, and dense ripples rippled in Jiang Lan's heart.
Gradually, a colorless picture was outlined, a dilapidated and ancient Taoist temple, a large locust tree that was overwhelmed, a flower, grass, branches and leaves struggling in the rain, and a mountain and wild creatures running and hiding in the rain.
The rain falls and listens to all things, and the ink is poured into the heart.
This is a very mysterious experience. Gradually, Jiang Lan once again entered a state of selflessness.
A gentle breeze flowed around him, and a faint white mist lingered around Jiang Lan.
In his body, the thick true energy began to boil, surging in the meridians, scattering into his limbs and bones, washing away his internal organs.
During Jiang Lan's breathing, there was a sense of rhythm, singing with the world.
Suddenly, Jiang Lan turned into an ancient tree and was rooted in the world.
...
Zhending Mansion, with a long history, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Since ancient times, it has been known as the Sanxiong Town in the north with Kyoto and Baoding Prefecture. Now it is guarding the capital with Baoding Prefecture, which is at the feet of the emperor.
In a rugged mountain road, there was a convoy of grain transporters, and was driven to Zhending Mansion by twenty or thirty wooden trucks pulled by cows, carrying grain.
On the ox cart, four people were sitting, two burly men, one scholar and the other Taoist priest.
"This time I first entered the world, I have to find a good place. What do Master Jiang have any ideas?"
The scholar coughed twice, his face pale, and asked the Taoist priest beside him.
Among them, a burly man with two swords on his back patted his chest and said loudly: "I, Lin Kuangdao, are from the Shenlong Gang. If you don't bother, you can come to our Shenlong Gang."
Next to him, another burly man nodded and said, "Yes, our leader Yun Yongwang learns from senior Yun Cangsheng, and is a master in the Hundred Family Trees. Now that our Shenlong Gang has expanded its enrollment, with your skills, we will definitely be able to join the gang smoothly."
After the Lin brothers said that, they looked at the scholar and Taoist priests with anticipation.
The scholar nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the Shenlong Gang is the largest gang in Zhending Mansion, and it is a good place to go. What do Taoist Jiang Xiao thinks?"
After saying that, the scholar coughed twice again, and his face became paler. The Taoist priest in his mouth was Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan did not rush to answer, but looked curious as a newbie, and asked, "What is the Baijia Ge, is it very powerful?"
After saying this, everyone looked surprised, and even the boss who drove the cow turned around and looked back. Nowadays, are there people who don’t know the Baccarat genealogy?
The scholar looked strange, but he still explained: "The Hundred Family Genealogy is a list written by Tianji Pavilion in the information of various schools, and the list includes the strongest one hundred seniors in the world.
The two senior Yun Cangsheng mentioned by Brother Lin were once listed in the Hundred Family Trees and were first-class experts. With my skills, I am afraid that I can't beat Senior Yun Cangsheng with just one move."
The Lin brothers on the side nodded repeatedly, took the conversation and said, "Master Jiang, you have just entered the world, so it is definitely right to come to our Dragon Gang.
Our gang leader has always been generous and treats us gang members as brothers. With Master Jiang’s ability to refine alchemy with one hand, he may not be able to worship him as a worshiper. In the future, our brothers will have to be polite to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan quickly smiled and said, "In this way, I will need more care from both brothers in the future."
This Dragon Gang just fits his wishes, and it is not too big or small in scale, just right.
The Lin brothers were overjoyed when they heard this. Jiang Lan's Suling Pills and the others had already seen them. If they were to pull Jiang Lan into the gang and there was a steady supply of Suling Pills, the Shenlong Gang would definitely be able to stabilize the throne of the first power of Zhending Mansion.
Since Jiang Lan agreed to join the gang, the Lin brothers' attitude towards Jiang Lan has become more and more enthusiastic. Jiang Lan is also happy and listens to a lot of common sense in the world indirectly.
There are many large and small forces in this world, but only thirteen sects can rank first-class forces, namely Longhu Mountain, Baima Temple, Zhulu Academy, Tianji Pavilion, Shushan School, Diancang School, Shaolin Temple, etc.
These thirteen sects are called the Thirteen sects of the martial arts world, and the entire martial arts world respects these thirteen sects.
In addition, there is also the Sun and Moon God Sect known as the Demon Sect in the world. At first, Jiang Lan thought it was the Sun and Moon God Sect in the Swordsman, but he thought too much that this Sun and Moon God Sect was not as good as Dongfang Bubai, nor Ren Yingying, or anything like Ren Yingying.
It cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be irrelevant.
In the mouths of the Lin brothers, the people in the Demon Sect do many evil deeds and are despised by many righteous paths in the world.
"This Sun and Moon God Sect is afraid it is not a power of the court."
Jiang Lan basically confirmed that the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is the power of the court, and the Sun and Moon are bright. It was almost like the big words "I am the power of the court" written on his face.
The Sun and Moon Sect in this world is not as good as Dongfang Bubai, but it is also terrifying. With a sect, it can hold up the banner of the Demonic Way and compete with the entire righteous way, and it still has a vague advantage.
"Well, this is probably what is called equilibrium."
It is estimated that the thirteen sects in the martial arts world also know the background of the Sun and Moon God Sect, but they all did not expose it.
Otherwise, the court probably wouldn't allow these thirteen factions to exist. In the eyes of the court, the so-called thirteen factions in the martial arts world are private soldiers, and they are not ordinary private soldiers, which is a very big threat.
If these sects had not been passed down from ancient traditions and were afraid of provoking some old guys, Jiang Lan felt that the court would not bother to do the Sun and Moon Sect and directly destroyed these sects.
Along the way, the Lin brothers talked to the scholars, and Jiang Lan listened. No accident happened and successfully entered Zhending City.
As soon as I entered the city, there were noises everywhere. There were various hawkers on the roadside, with bustling cars and extremely lively, with a large flow of people, and a prosperous look.
Jiang Lan looked at this prosperous scene and felt a little moved. There was no such prosperous time in the Ming Dynasty in history. In the festivals of the Tang and Song Dynasties, you might be able to see such a scene.
"What's wrong with Master Jiang? Why don't you talk anymore?" The scholar waved his folding fan and passed by Jiang Lan's eyes.
Jiang Lan then came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I have never seen such prosperity."
Upon hearing this, the three of them laughed.
Lin Kuangdao came up and shook his eyes at Jiang Lan: "Master Jiang, this is where you go, it's fun tonight. Then, my brother will take you to see it. Spend money, grass..."
As he said that, Lin Kuangdao raised his eyebrows at Jiang Lan, and his face showed a look of understanding that he knew everything he understood.
Jiang Lan's mouth twitched slightly, and he could no longer look directly at the word "flowers and plants".
"Wine, sex, wealth and energy are the steel knife. Xiaodao is used to the days of practicing cultivation, so let's forget it."
After saying this, Lin Kuangdao laughed even more and said, "Master Jiang is indeed a young man. I don't know what a woman's belly feels like. When my brother takes you to see it, you can't say such things."
Jiang Lan shook his head. He came here to seek immortality. Women will only affect his speed of drawing the sword.
"It's almost here. The head of our Shenlong Gang is ahead. The leader of the Yun Gang should still be in charge." Lin Kuangdao said nothing, pointing to a vast manor in front and said.
Jiang Lan looked up and saw that it was a gorgeous manor with green and strong black tiles. There was a gold-plated plaque of the Shenlong Gang hanging on the vermilion gate, and four big men holding knives stood beside it.
"Brother Lin is back from transporting grain!" A servant guarding the gate saw Lin Kuangdao and the others from a distance, and then shouted to come in and report.
When the convoy walked to the gate of the Shenlong Gang, a large number of people rushed out of the door.
The leader was a middle-aged man carrying a long sword. His eyes were a little majestic in his pony and his face was also filled with a hint of joy.
"Gang Master!" Lin Kuangdao and his brothers saw the middle-aged man in the lead and quickly saluted. Then they said, "This is two thousand stones of food, and more than a hundred stones are added. It is the funding of Mr. Sun. I want to join our Shenlong Gang here."
Lin Kuangdao said, pointing to the scholar behind him, introducing him to the gang leader Yun Yongwang.
"Sun Xianglin has met the leader of the Yun Gang." The scholar clasped his fists and bowed to Yun Yongwang.
Yun Yongwang smiled generously and said, "Brother Sun, you are polite. Our Shenlong Gang is short of people. Even if Brother Sun doesn't bring a hundred stones of food, my Shenlong Gang will also welcome you."
"Thank you, Gang Master Yun, for taking it in!" Sun Xianglin bowed politely again.
Then, Yun Yongwang turned his gaze on Jiang Lan, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "I wonder if this Taoist priest is?"
Lin Kuangdao, who was standing beside him, saw this and hurriedly said, "Gang Master, this is Taoist Jiang Lan and Taoist Master Jiang, the inheritor of Tianyu Mountain Taoist Temple. He has just entered the world and has the ability to refine great elixirs."
The so-called great elixir is a pill that is beneficial to those who practice martial arts. This pill costs hundreds of taels of silver per piece, and it is often priced without a market price.
After hearing Lin Kuangdao's introduction, Yun Yongwang suddenly became serious. The many elders of the Dragon Gang behind him were the same, and the eyes of Jiang Lan became different.
"Mr. Yun has something that doesn't know the real person and is negligent. Please forgive Taoist Jiang."
Seeing this, Jiang Lan said with a respectful voice: "You are polite to the gang leader. Xiaodao has just entered the world and has met the Lin brothers. He is trying to join our Shenlong Gang. I hope the gang leader will not abandon it."
"How dare you, Master Jiang be polite. But can someone Yun see Master Jiang's great pill?" Yun Yongwang waved his hand and said.
"It should be so, but this is not the place to speak. Master Yun, please look?" Jiang Lan said with a smile.
"It's someone Yun who is rude, Taoist Jiang please."
Yun Yongwang made a gesture of invitation, and then a group of Jiang Lan walked into the large manor of the Shenlong Gang headquarters.
