Pure Yang Sword Sovereign

Chapter 273 Chapter [-]
Back then in the Ling Mansion, Bixia and San'an brothers helped Ling Chong fight against Xiao Li. After San'an made a move, he left in a hurry, saying that he had found the heir of the Buddhist Heart Sword, and went to pick him up. Several years passed, but he didn't know what happened. up.

Monk Bixia smiled and said, "Junior brother San'an has already found that junior brother, and taught him carefully for several years. It won't take long for Junior brother Ling to meet him." , It is very uncomfortable to say that half is kept and half is kept, and Ling Chong is not easy to ask.Since it is said that we will see you soon, all you need to do is wait.

The old lady had finished worshiping Buddha, Ling Chong donated some incense money and escorted grandmother back home.That night when the elder brother Ling Kang returned home, he was originally released to be an official, but when he heard that the second younger brother was returning home to visit his relatives, he took a few days off and hurried back.

During dinner, Ling Zhen suddenly said: "Tomorrow some disciples of the national teacher will come, Chong'er will follow me to have a look." I know that my youngest son likes these Buddhist and Taoist spells the most since he was a child, so it is rare for him to do so For several years in the capital, he studied with Zhang Ge, and he was quite diligent. It happened that a few disciples of the national teacher Cao Jing came to Jinling for business again. Let Ling Chong open his eyes again, and his wish was forgotten.

Ling Chong secretly smiled. Back then, when he saw those fake Taoist priests showing off their flying sword tricks, he was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked. Today, he is also considered a great Taoist monk, and his swordsmanship is even better. Looking at those few The so-called immortal teacher had another feeling, anyway, he had nothing to do, as long as he was in Jinling City, he didn't need Xiao Li and others who abandoned Taoism to come, so he could relax.

Early the next morning, Ling Chong entered the palace with Nai's father.Since Chengzu inherited the throne and moved the capital to Tianjing, most of the officials in Jinling City have left with them, but the ancestral system cannot be abolished. The imperial palace built in Jinling City is still presided over by the royal family. Kowtow to Tianjing Holy Majesty.

Ling Chong has no official position, so he cannot enter the palace, so he waits outside.About an hour later, the morning court was over, Ling Zhen came out of the palace in official uniform, looked at Ling Chong and said, "Chong'er, you are good at studying, and you will gain fame in the future. You can't enter the court like a father before the beginning. Pray for the people."

Ling Chong is obsequious, and what Ling Zhen never forgets is that his two sons won the exams and honored their ancestors, but Ling Chong is not sensitive to this.Now that he is devoted to seeking the Tao, how can he have the leisure to take part in the imperial examination?In addition, if you want to be an official, you don't need to bother. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been positions of immortal officials. As long as they are successful in cultivation, they will all be rewarded.I heard that several of Cao Jing's apprentices are all fifth-rank officials. Ling Chong's current cultivation level is no worse than those guys. A fifth-rank official cannot escape.Brother Nai Lingkang is only a sixth-rank official now, and he has to sit in the Yamen promotion hall every day, without any hardship.

For Ling Chong, an official position is easily available, but he has no interest.Only among Taoist sects, those who don't have the opportunity to practice Taoism, who have learned a few Taoism skills, go down the mountain to fool an official position, and enjoy the wealth and honor in the world, will flock to them.In the eyes of serious cultivators, such people are all contemptuous.In view of this, Ling Chong didn't have a good impression of that national teacher Cao Jing and his disciples, so he just took the opportunity to observe.

Ling Zhen had time to teach his son a lesson. He respected his father's prestige and was very satisfied. He walked forward with his hands behind his back, and Ling Chong followed closely behind.After leaving the imperial palace, I turned across a street and saw a Beppu towering over it.Ling Zhen said: "This is the Befu built by the Holy Master for the national teacher, and several of his disciples are resting in it. Today, a few senior officials from Jinling City were invited to try out their mana. You just watch quietly from the sidelines." But, don't make any noise."

Ling Zhen was worried that his son didn't know the seriousness and offended the disciple of the national teacher, and he would embarrass him in the court in the future, which would be very bad.Ling Chong nodded in agreement, the father and son went up to call the door, and the steward came out, Ling Zhen showed his identity and invited the two inside.

With seven turns and eight turns, I came to a wide garden, with exotic flowers and trees, which entered the eyes one by one, rockery and flowing water, and the song expresses love.Ling Chong shook his head secretly: "For a mere national teacher, I spent money to build Befu. This is a mere Jinling, and I don't know how many other places in Ming Dynasty. But this emperor is also a jerk!" Ling Zhen believed in the Confucian monarch, minister and minister. , even if the emperor had no way, he only advised him, and in the end he left and went back to the countryside.

Ling Chong practiced Taoist swordsmanship, and he had his own opinions in his chest. No matter what emperor he was, if he offended him, he would still use his flying sword to take his head, at worst, he would change to another emperor.The winding path leads to a secluded place, but people's voices are heard like waves, which are very noisy, which greatly disturbs the scenery of the garden.

Many people had already stopped in the courtyard, either sitting or standing, there were always dozens of them.Ling Chong glanced around and saw seven or eight senior officials in official uniforms, sitting tall and tall, with a few people behind them carefully serving them.There are three other people dressed as Taoist priests, all with long swords on their backs, talking happily with everyone.

Ling Zhen was the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and from the official title of the second rank, when everyone saw him coming, they all got up and greeted him, and there was a lot of excitement.Ling Chong stole a look at the three of them, and realized that their cultivation bases were mediocre, but they were perfect in the realm of fetal movement. If they were to kill the enemy, they would be like a sword light, one sword at a time.

A bearded general dressed as a general smiled and said: "Master Ling is here, all the officials above the second rank in Jinling City are here, and the three immortal masters can also practice swordsmanship, which is an eye-opener for me!" Laughed again and again.Ling Chong recognized this person as Huwei General Zhu Chun, he was a rough man, and had some relative relationship with the current emperor. His general's mansion was not far from Ling's mansion, and the two families often walked around.

Ling Chong was enlightened, and thought to himself: "It's just a practice of swordsmanship, why do you gather all the officials above the second rank in Jinling City?" The oldest of the three Taoist priests said with a smile: "In this case, Xiaodao is for you adults. Practice some swordsmanship, but the Xiaodao's cultivation is superficial, and I only got a third of the skill of my teacher and his old man, if there is any mistake, please forgive me, my lords!" Squeezing the sword formula in his hand, the long sword behind his back came out of the scabbard with a clang, and the light of the sword flickered Moving like a dragon, flying around the field.

Ling Chong only glanced at it, and saw that there was nothing to recommend about his swordsmanship.He looked at the three of them with his eyes.The Taoist priest danced his sword with swordsmanship, the sword light was chaotic like flowers, it was really bluffing, everyone present had no chance to see the authentic Taoist swordsmanship, they were stunned for a while, and finally the Taoist put the sword into its sheath, winning applause from all the halls.

Ling Zhen also applauded himself, took a peek at his son, saw that his face was not happy, he seemed to be uninterested, and felt relieved: "Sure enough, reading can be subtly influenced. This child used to want to practice Taoism and swordsmanship, but today he sees him like this." I don’t care about swordsmanship, I think I’m all focused on learning, and I’m hopeful for fame!”

After the elder Taoist danced, the other two drew their swords again, but what they practiced was to stab at each other, but seeing the light of the swords fluttering like rain, the two swords intersected, and the sound of the swords was crisp and clear, which seemed to be a bit of the true meaning of swordsmanship in it.
