Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 74 The World is Like a Well (Two in One)

Chen Jing's sword-wielding skills have been improving, but there has been no qualitative improvement. His previous sword attack was blocked by Jing Chan's body, and now he is not sure he can kill the opponent.

Especially Jingchan, who looked like he was letting you beat him.

It would be so embarrassing if he wasn't killed.

So I just put on an attitude of being a superior and delay it for a while.

It would be better if we could alienate this "father and son" pair.

"The only thing that can break through Jingchan's physical defense should be the inner city's protective treasure. Most of them are left in the inner city. There is also no news about my capable outsourcer Ying Huiyin. Although I don't need the talisman array now, I should still find one or two to confirm whether he is alive or dead..."

Chen Jing returned immediately.

After asking Hua Qingxia to learn the secret method of treasure hunting, she set off for the inner city without stopping.

There are difficult and easy secret methods. The secret method of finding the treasure that protects the city is a particularly easy one. The real bottleneck lies in the medium, which is the small green bottle used by Hua Qingxia. Ninety percent of the technology is on the small green bottle.

Drop liquid and ignite it with secret methods.

Then, an invisible force established a connection through the flames in the palms.

Chen Jing followed the feeling and searched all the way until he stopped outside the door of a simple courtyard.

"It should have fallen into this family's house..."

He stood at the door, thinking about the conversation after knocking on the door.

Suddenly, the door opened.

On the stone steps in front of the courtyard, the woman's fingers stroked the vermilion lacquer in front of the door and walked out from behind the mottled red door.

Her hair was soft, dancing in the wind like dark clouds, and her eyes were like emerald stones in autumn water, clear and calm.

Looking at the woman in white who was staring at him, Chen Jing didn't react for a moment.

"Should you reply?"

"Come."

Ying Huiyin raised her long eyebrows slightly, as if she was smiling, but it seemed like an illusion.

The door closes.

There is a dry peach tree in the yard. All the leaves have fallen off, leaving only bare branches, which looks ugly. No one cleans up the dead leaves in the yard, and the yard is desolate.

Chen Jing had a subtle expression, as if he had entered a women's dormitory.

"You live by yourself?"

"Well, then my dad came back and stayed for a while."

"Your dad? Uh, is he there?"

"He just died a few days ago."

"That's good."

Chen Jing nodded, then shook his head repeatedly, and said in panic: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter, I killed him."

"?"

Chen Jing paused and began to look in other directions, ready to escape over the wall or hide underground at any time.

Then he saw the treasure mirror worn on Ying Huiyin's waist. The treasure mirror seemed to sense his gaze and suddenly flashed with an obvious threatening meaning. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping and followed behind obediently.

Life is indeed full of surprises.

"Don't scare him."

Ying Huiyin took down the treasure mirror and said with a frown.

Baojian dodged reluctantly.

It had been threatened by Hua Qingxia before and held a grudge in its heart. After recognizing Chen Jing, it wanted to scare him back, but in reality, it could only scare him back.

"Are you back here looking for it?"

Ying Huiyin asked.

"I'm here to find you too."

Chen Jing's words had just fallen.

The treasure mirror suddenly flashed non-stop, and it was quite spiritual. Even without specific words, people could understand what it meant.

——Don't believe this man's lies!

Ying Huiyin seemed to be smiling, and he casually slapped the fire on the treasure mirror, causing it to extinguish with a snap.

"I know who you want to use it against, but Jingchan is a little special. I used the treasure mirror to look at him, but I couldn't get rid of him."

"Is he so powerful?"

Chen Jing's eyes widened.

"This treasure mirror is not an ordinary treasure. It was left here by the founder of the Qing Nang Sect. Without anyone to refine it, it can only kill specific targets, demons, ghosts, or extremely evil people."

"What Jingchan did should be enough to make him die."

"He has died before, but his essence is the reincarnation of the true spirit of a saint. The treasure mirror dare not touch him, nor can it touch him. We can only kill his anger and let him die once."

"…reincarnation."

Chen Jing was speechless for a moment.

The reincarnation of a saint, what is this? And it doesn’t look like one at all. He looks more like a devil.

"The disaster in Anning Mansion was also related to him. I just don't know if the person behind the scenes created the disaster for Jingchan, or if it was because of this disaster that Jingchan reincarnated."

"So I can't kill him?"

"Of course they can. Even a born saint may not necessarily become a saint again. The Treasure Mirror says that a saint who is acquired through acquired achievements is more rare than a reincarnated true spirit. This born saint is dead when he dies."

After hearing this, he felt a little more at ease.

Just have a health bar.

Chen Jing said: "How should we kill him?"

Ying Huiyin pondered for a long time.

"I can't tell you directly... How about this, after I got the treasure mirror, it told me a lot of things, I will tell you the whole story during this period, maybe it will be helpful to you."

"it is good."

"Everything may have to start with my father Ying Chendao."

As she spoke.

Only then did Chen Jing understand the various changes that had occurred in the city when he was farming on Qingniu Mountain.

After being locked in a black box in Anning Mansion.

The sudden collapse of the Mi family caused the upper structure to lose stability, and then the cultivation forces in the middle layer lost control and attacked each other.

The weakest and most neglected ordinary people, because they were planted with deformed spores, have the power to resist. Coincidentally, they are on the verge of survival.

The upper level continued to collapse, the middle level continued to fight, and the lower level rose up, eventually leading to the current scene of total collapse.

Among these, the stability of the inner city nobles is crucial. Although they exploit, they do not exploit excessively. After a long period of game and evolution, all parties are at the limit of balance.

The so-called extreme balance is actually equivalent to locking the upper limit.

This upper limit does not just apply to the development of the lower classes. The exploitation of the wealthy and powerful is also at its upper limit.

For example, the Chen family pays 70% of the "rent".

Why not 60%, because the wealthy families want more, and why not 80%, 90%, or even direct annexation?
Do you really think you can’t do it? You can do it, but you don’t do it.

The reason is simple: it’s not worth it.

The wealthy family wants to collect 71% of the rent. If they collect even a little bit more, the final result will be that they will actually get less than 70% of the original amount.

I wanted to collect 80% of the rent, but the actual amount I received was less than 60%.

Direct merger?

Well, the actual amount I got was less than 40%.

It's a thankless job for all the effort.

As the saying goes, you have unpaid overtime, I have paid shitting, paid slacking, high failure rate... the profits that the exploiters have worked so hard to exploit will always be spit out again in various losses.

With the Qingnang Sect watching over them, the powerful families did not dare to engage in non-violent non-cooperation.

Taking 70% and doing it in the name of a transaction, this is the best situation formed after a long game and repeated tugs of war, and everyone can accept it.

Even the exploitation of the powerful families has been capped.

Small cultivation families, ordinary landlords, and ordinary people also live in their own not-so-high upper limits.

The omnipresent rules formed over a long period of time have bound everyone in An Ning Mansion within a small square of rules, leaving almost no room for change.

Rules are the skeleton of human society.

It is definitely not perfect, but it must exist. No matter how deformed it is, it is better than nothing.

The nobles are the biggest implementers and defenders of the Anning Mansion's rules, and they are the bones themselves. When this bone is suddenly pulled away.

Oh, it's over.

Everything that was originally in extreme balance within the rules was instantly crushed and twisted into a ball.

"Ying Chendao was the one who wantonly broke the bones of Anning Mansion. Because of his actions, Anning Mansion completely collapsed, and countless people and families died because of him...

If he could become a better skeleton, this bloody sacrifice would not be a bad thing;

But unfortunately, he is not. In his eyes, only his invincible cultivation and status are the most important, so he is destined to be only a more deformed skeleton;

I have always hoped that the powerful families would be destroyed, but not in this way, and certainly not to have a worse powerful family replace the existing ones;
So Yingchen said, he must die. "

Ying Huiyin said this.

Suddenly asked a question.

"There's this guy who's always wanted to do the same thing as my father, guess who it is."

"Well cicada."

Chen Jing answered without hesitation.

After listening to the description of Yingchen Dao, he found that Jingchan and Yingchen Dao were simply cast in the same mold.

"What about you?"

Ying Huiyin suddenly leaned over and looked into his eyes.

"Have you ever thought that becoming the strongest person can solve all problems?"

"……Have."

There was a time when anger rose in my heart and evil was at its core.

Chen Jing had thought about replacing the hybrid spores on a large scale, controlling all the people to transform into tree people, and killing anyone he disliked...

After we eliminate those who refuse to obey, we can then start farming properly.

And 90% of the plan has been implemented, except for the last step.

Except for Old Master Qi who deserved to die, he did not take the initiative to turn anyone into a tree person.

"I'm not blaming you, but I want to tell you... In fact, many people have the same idea in their hearts. As long as they gain invincible power, they can turn around and solve the problem. But after reaching that point, can they still turn back?"

The response should be meaningful.

Chen Jing actually has a more abstract and modern understanding of her words.

Day 1: I am Superman.

Day 2: I am a native of my motherland.

Day 3: I don’t eat beef.

Chen Jing looked at the treasure mirror.

He vaguely realized that Ying Huiyin was guiding him in his practice, but her cultivation level was not high either, so it might be the treasure mirror that was guiding her.

It can also be said to be a warning.

Don't follow in those two's footsteps!
"I understand, but." Chen Jing scratched his head and asked, "Are we off topic? I still haven't figured out how to kill Jing Chan..."

"Look."

Ying Huiyin poured out some tea, dipped his index finger in the water, and wrote the word "井".

“The rules of the world are never horizontal or vertical, but they are both horizontal and vertical, and they are just right to frame and trap people.”

After saying that, he blinked, meaning that this was the reminder.

"Well? Well..."

Chen Jing murmured a few words, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

Looking at the word "井" on the table again, I understood what Ying Huiyin meant.

The first aspect of the rules is to trap people's bodies to death, plain violence and high pressure, and it is purely a matter of having a big and hard fist;

This rule corresponds to Jingchan and Yingchendao before he died once;

They try to stand at the top of the rules by mastering greater violence.

The second side of the rules traps people's spirit, which is the so-called love...that is, family.

Humans are social animals, and the first social emotion of human beings is family affection.

Country is country, family comes before country.

Only by understanding the family can we understand the country and understand more social relationships.

The ruler and father, the ruler and father. Only by understanding the father can we understand the ruler. Only by knowing filial piety can we further understand loyalty and other emotions through the bond between the ruler and father.

Therefore, Confucianism on Earth has always respected filial piety in every dynasty. In some dynasties when rituals and music were in decline, the respect for filial piety even reached a magical and perverted level.

If you are unfilial, no matter how capable you are, your name will always be on the pillar of shame.

Because family and home are the origin and foundation of all spiritual rules.

To uphold filial piety is to uphold rules, imperial power and rule.

The rules are made up of these two parts, physical rules and spiritual rules, two horizontal and two vertical, like a tic-tac-toe, fixing people inside.

"No wonder Huiyin emphasized the scene of patricide. I thought she had some special hobby. It turns out she wanted to tell me that it was not the destructive power of the treasure mirror that killed Jing Chan, but the scene of patricide that aroused the family affection in Jing Chan's heart..."

Then.

What kills family affection?
Chen Jing felt inexplicably depressed when he thought of this.

Deep down in his heart, he was very resistant to touching the string of family affection. Ever since he came into this world and was born, he has been loved and cared for by his relatives.

This is something I had never experienced as an orphan in my previous life.

He is not a fool, he even has memories of his past life. If it is not true love, how can he talk so much nonsense, as if he is afraid that others don't know that he is abnormal.

Only because he could clearly feel from every detail that the Chen family was safe, that they were one with him, and that they were inseparable both emotionally and in terms of interests, did he feel relaxed.

Chen Jing suddenly realized something.

"Is Jingchan lacking love?"

Inspiration runs through my body in an instant.

This kid probably had some problems in his childhood!
Chen Jing slammed the table and stood up suddenly.

"Huiyin, I need to go out for a while."

"Any clues?"

"Yes, let's go to the Yang family's base. I hope Jing Chan's biological father and third brother are still alive. I need to ask some questions. Jing Chan will come to compete with me tomorrow. I have to find his weakness as soon as possible."

"I wish you all the best."

Looking at Chen Jing, he didn't even turn back, raised his hand high, waved, and strode away.

A clear smile finally appeared on Ying Huiyin's face.

Hey.

The treasure mirror flashed.

It seems to be saying, don't be happy too early.

"No, I believe he can win, and then truly walk his own path as a saint... You ask why? Because when he collected fines, obtained food for disaster victims, and made rune formations at a loss, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart."

Hey.

"How should I know? I just know!"

……

at the same time.

In the Huaiyin Society's headquarters, Jing Chan returned silently. He did not tell anyone about the battle with Chen Jing because he did not want everyone to worry about him.

At this time.

He suddenly remembered what Chen Jing said, so he took out the jade tube and placed it between his eyebrows.

[Secret Technique: Examining the Heart]

[Those who practice vows must connect their hearts with others and treat others with sincerity. Even if evil practitioners use deception and cunning tactics to collect vows, they must reveal their true nature and true heart. This method can be used to identify the true nature of evil practitioners when they are practicing...]

After a long introduction and a lot of descriptions, it is actually just a niche art of qi-watching.

Jing Chan learned it after just a quick glance, but did not use it to "judge" the rice grains because it would be disrespectful to the rice grains.

But think about it.

Tomorrow he will have a decisive battle with Chen Jing. After all, they have made an agreement, so it is better to fulfill it. He also believes in Mi Li's character.

So he came to the place where Mi Li was healing, quietly used his secret technique, his eyes as sharp as a mirror.

In the review.

The nature of the rice grain is clearly reflected in it.
