Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

The old servant made a solemn promise.

Jiang Jing sighed helplessly.

She is naturally aware of the wolf ambitions of the Jiang family, but in order for her son to inherit the throne, she can only seek skin from the tiger.

When she first came to the palace, she always wanted to seek blessings for the Jiang family, but after more than twenty years, she gave birth to Jiang Qingjian and became the mistress of the palace, and her mind also changed subtly.

"This time the Qingjian Battalion beheaded more than two thousand people, which is enough to raise Qingjian's military rank by half a rank, but it is far from enough!"

"Back then, the prince beheaded 20 Qiang people and took down the entire Youzhou to be eligible to be king. If my son wants to be hereditary, he must kill at least [-] Di people!"

Jiang Jing handed the finished letter to the old servant beside her:

"Tell my father, within half a year, I will see Qingjian's record of beheading [-] Di people!"

The old servant frowned:

"Madam, do you want to think about it again?"

"If you act too hastily, it will only cause the opposite effect."

"Recently, several transactions between us and Di Ren were settled with iron ore. According to the law, it is a felony to steal and beheaded. If someone catches the handle, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Jiang Jing pulled a peacock feather from her dress and broke it with her bare hands:

"Do you think I don't want Xu Xu to figure it out?"

"Old Liu, there is no time!"

"Seek for wealth and danger!"

She paused and said again:

"and many more!"

"Tell my father again, try to use gold, silver, silk and satin to trade with the Di people. If it is impossible, give them second-grade ore, and never let them get high-grade iron ore. As for iron-smelting technology, it is not allowed at all. Give way!"

"In this way, even if they have enough iron ore, the sharpness of their weapons will not be as sharp as that of the Anbei Army."

"I don't want to see Qing Jian become the queen of rejecting the North, and the three northern states lose an inch of land in his hands!"

The old servant was convinced:

"The Patriarch has already thought of this."

"What I'm worried about now is, will that person from Ziyan Court climb Jiangshan, cause trouble to the young master?"

Naturally, Jiang Jing and the old servant had already known about the episode that happened in the Sutra Pavilion today.

To be honest, the fourth son Jiang Qingyu and Jiang Shan's friendship really surprised them both.

But based on this alone, Jiang Qingyu is not enough to get Jiang Jing's attention:

"No matter how deep the sapphire is hidden, it will not become a climate."

"If he doesn't have enough prestige in the army, even if he has a relationship with the three innate second ranks in the palace, he still won't be able to sit on the throne!"

The old servant agreed:

"What the lady said is very true."

"What's more, that kind of thing is impossible to happen. Apart from me and Jiang Shan, one of the other two innate second-ranks has already been drawn into our camp."

……

While Jiang Jing and the old servant were discussing things in the Incense Burner Yard, a masked man in a white robe quietly avoided everyone's sight and sneaked into Qianjian Lake.

Chapter 18

Introducing Sword Qi into the Yin Body

Qianjian Lake.

Tonight is the wind and the moon.

The willows by the lake overlap like ghosts in the night, and the lake is covered with a thick layer of white mist, making it hard to see the reality.

This place is a natural hidden place.

When the old sword master Yu Yi lived in the Tibetan scripture pavilion, he would choose one person to compete in sword skills on Qianjian Lake every day to prove his understanding of sword skills.

Every time, Jiang Qingyu's soul body would come uninvited and hide in the willow tree to watch the battle.

only……

He thought that the old sword master would not find him, but later he realized that he had underestimated others.

The old sword master is a born swordsman, with a pair of eyes that can see through yin and yang, so every time he peeps at himself, he sees it in his eyes.

It was also from then on that the old Juggernaut decided to choose himself as the sole successor.

Central Lake.

A masked man in a white robe stands on the lake, his robe does not touch the white mist, his feet do not fall into the water, and he stands with his hands behind his back.

This person is Jiang Qingyu, the fourth son of the North Palace...

Yin body.

Jiang Qingyu's habit remained unchanged tonight. She fell asleep on the couch early, and after she came out of her body, she condensed her yin body and used her yin body to do many things as in the past.

For example, eavesdropping on the whispers of two maids in the boudoir, or following the little girl through half of the royal city in the middle of the night...

Of course, one of the more important things is to find Guergen before Xiaoman, take him out of Wangcheng and make a deal.

"I already know the origin and purpose of Sister Lichun, so there is no need to investigate further."

"Xiao Man is the killer of Hua Man Lou, and he also knows each other with the secret guards of the palace. Most of them were hired by my father to protect me. As for whether this woman has ulterior motives, it remains to be investigated."

"Gurgen is a half-dead chess piece. Tonight's move is just a matter of convenience. As for whether he can become a good chess player, we have to wait a few more years to see."

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past, interrupting Jiang Qingyu's analysis.

In the middle of winter night, the water of Qianjian Lake is notoriously icy cold.

A few days ago, a retired veteran who guarded the Sutra Pavilion got drunk and accidentally fell into the lake in the middle of the night. Although he was picked up by a hidden guard in time, his body was also frostbitten and he cannot walk on the ground until now. .

The servants and maids in the palace will also subconsciously avoid Qianjian Lake in the middle of the night.

Even under the willow trees on both sides of the lake is indeed a good place for a private meeting.

"Time is running out tonight, and I have one thing left to do."

Jiang Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the calm lake below her feet.

With his yin body cultivation base, he can naturally feel the turbulent murderous intent hidden under the lake!

But he had to risk himself.

Because the way to break through the bottleneck of "Dream Sutra" lies in the raging murderous intent!

The practice of the Great Dream Sutra is divided into several stages:

When the soul leaves the body in a dream, it can initially condense the Yin body.At this time, the Yin body has no combat power, and can only travel at night, and will not be seen by naked eyes.

This stage is called "Night Tour".

When the yin body grows stronger enough to compete with Houtian tenth-rank martial arts, there will be the first bottleneck.

Breaking through the bottleneck, the yin body will not be afraid of the sun, can be seen by the naked eye, and is no different from ordinary people when touched. At this time, the practice of "Dream Sutra" will enter the second stage, yangyou.

Yangyou is also divided into the early stage, middle stage, and late stage, and its combat power is equivalent to the three realms of Mingxing, Haoyue, and Yaori in the first three ranks of innate.

The current Jiang Qingyu is stuck in the late stage of Yangyou, and her Yin body is equivalent to a celestial being.

The next stage is called Yinshen.

The yin body breaks away from the shackles of dreams and attaches to the physical body, allowing people to exert one-tenth of the combat power of the yin body anytime and anywhere. This is called the yin god.

However, if the human body cannot withstand the power of the yin body, then like Jiang Qingyu, he will always be stuck in the late stage of Yangyou, and can only be a master when he is dreaming.

Once he wakes up, he is still the weak boy who has no power to restrain the chicken.

In order to break through the bottleneck, he came to Qianjian Lake, ready to start practicing "Yu's Sword Classic" to temper his body.

However, the "Yu's Sword Classic" created by the old sword sage Yu Yi is an innate fourth-rank kung fu method. It is different from ordinary kung fu methods in that its practice method in the acquired tenth-rank realm is very...

Heterogeneous.

The way for ordinary people to start cultivating the acquired state is nothing more than repeating a strenuous task, either swinging a sword or machete, or standing up and punching.

Young masters and young ladies from rich and noble families will also use medicine to assist their practice.

There are thousands of aristocratic families in the state of Chu, and almost every family has secret recipes handed down from their ancestors. There are various kinds of external application and oral administration. Some can promote muscle growth and make women as strong as cattle, and some can make people grow copper skin and iron bones for a year. Sleeping in more than a dozen beds...

As long as people can't be killed by eating, the elders will spend a lot of money to buy herbal medicine to prepare the next generation.

The conditions of ordinary people's families are relatively difficult. If they don't want to fall behind others, they can only join the army with their heads on their waistbands, or sell themselves to a big family as a thug servant.

But the practice that old sword sage Yu Yi prepared for Jiang Qingyu was different from theirs.

Practicing "Yu's Sword Classic" does not require repeated laborious movements, nor does it need to prepare strange secret recipes.

It only needs Jiang Qingyu's Yin body to dive into Qianjian Lake once a night.

The old sword master lived in the Cangjing Pavilion for three years, and also competed with others for three years. Every time he won, his opponent would drop a sword in the lake.

That sword represents the sharpness of a swordsman who has honed his sword skills all his life!

The sword is proud.

The sword, not the sword.

When thousands of famous swords gather in a lake, these famous swords will subconsciously fight for the front, imitating the sword master's technique, releasing sword energy one after another, making the lake water into a mess.

That's why Qianjian Lake is full of murderous secrets.

However, fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Opportunities are often hidden in murderous intentions!

According to the old sword sage, if the sword qi is introduced into the yin body through the "Yu's Sword Classic", then when the yin body and the physical body are combined into one, the sword qi will turn into pure spiritual power and help the physical body Wash the essence and cut the marrow.

Of course, this process can be a little dangerous.

If you are not careful, your body will be torn apart by the sword energy.

In order to prevent sudden death, Jiang Qingyu had to comprehend a book of swordsmanship before leading the sword qi into the Yin body, and then go into the lake to find the same sword qi as recorded in the book, subdue it and then introduce it into the body.

In other words, the prerequisite for drawing sword energy into the Yin body is that he must first practice Hundred Schools of Swordsmanship.

This is also the first test set by the old sword master.

Before today, Jiang Qingyu had never touched swordsmanship.

So the first time he went to Qianjian Lake, he chose the lowest-level swordsmanship left in his head by the old sword master——

"Basic Sword Moves of the Chu State Army, Compulsory One".

Acquired three products.

As the name suggests, this is a swordsmanship that every Chu State soldier who enlists in the army must master.

Although the grade is only Houtian Grade 24, this sword scripture has been revised [-] times by the military during the five generations of monarchs since the establishment of the Chu Kingdom!

It can be said that the content in the book is indeed very simple, but it is also the essence of the introduction to swordsmanship, and it is a door that every swordsman cannot avoid!

With Jiang Qingyu's strength comparable to that of the third-rank Xiantian, it wouldn't take much time to understand the swordsmanship of a first-rank level that is only the third-rank Acquired.

After half a stick of incense.

A masked man in a white robe sank into the water.

In an instant, the lake surged continuously, like a demon dog from hell, swallowing people whole in one bite.

Chapter 19 Go away and marry a woman without using swords

hiss--

Going down to the lake for the first time, Jiang Qingyu only felt a chill that pierced her soul, as if countless ice needles were piercing her body.
