Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Wu Cuihua, who had been calm, took two steps back when she heard Jiang Weichen's gentle voice. "No, I won't go over there. There are knives trying to kill me, and there are evil spirits screaming. I'm afraid..."

Jiang Weichen looked at Wu Cuihua. Although she was fifteen or sixteen years old, her mind was still stuck in that of a child. Her distracted mind made her forgetful easily.

Jiang Weichen activated his spiritual power and said gently, "I won't scare you with a knife this time."

Wu Cuihua tilted her head and asked, "Really? Liars are dogs."

Jiang Weichen nodded, "Really."

Wu Cuihua approached Jiang Weichen cautiously. As expected, she did not see the blood-red knife. She immediately pulled Jiang Weichen's arm and sat beside him with a silly smile.

Jiang Weichen's spiritual power was released outwards, and there was a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around him, which was very comfortable and made people feel joyful in their hearts.

"Cuihua, you are tired, go to sleep." Jiang Weichen said gently.

Wu Cuihua tilted her head and said doubtfully: "I'm not... tired..."

As soon as she said the word "tired", she fell asleep on Jiang Weichen's lap.

"It's so easy to hypnotize ordinary people using the power of the mind." Jiang Weichen murmured as he looked at the sleeping Wu Cuihua.

In the distance, Yang Shuyu stared at Wu Cuihua leaning on Jiang Weichen's legs, her eyes full of envy.

At this moment, Yang Wenshan came over and looked at his granddaughter, "Alas..."

When Yang Shuyu heard her grandfather's sigh, she came back to her senses immediately. She kept pinching her clothes with both hands, feeling a little at a loss.

"Grandpa, why are you walking so quietly? You scared me."

Yang Wenshan asked, "Is it because I walked silently or were you so distracted that you didn't even notice Grandpa approaching? You've been distracted since you came back from the mountain. Anyone can see what's going on in your mind."

Yang Shuyu was at a loss when his grandfather revealed his thoughts. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? What could I possibly be thinking?"

Yang Wenshan looked at Jiang Weichen on the top of the mountain and advised, "Xiaoyu, you are already twenty-two years old. Everyone on the mountain understands your thoughts. I have already asked him privately for you. That guy is devoted to cultivation and has no thoughts of romantic love. He only treats you like a younger sister.

How could he not know what you were thinking? You are standing here looking at others, do you think he has not noticed? He did not point it out simply because he did not want to embarrass you. Now I am telling you through my mouth.

As Yang Wenshan finished speaking, Yang Shuyu's eyes were already red and tears were falling, "Grandpa, how can you say such nonsense? I don't have any thoughts on that."

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Yang Wenshan to reply, Yang Shuyu immediately ran down the mountain crying.

"Oh..." Yang Wenshan sighed, helpless. Xiaoyu could fall in love with anyone else, but she had to fall in love with Jiang Weichen.

Jiang Weichen entered his health care hall when he was nine years old. He watched Jiang Weichen grow up all the way. He was so cruel and determined that he could pick up a knife and chop people without blinking when he was just over nine years old.

Since Jiang Weichen said that he has no interest in romantic relationships, he will not consider these things for the time being. Xiaoyu can only be foolish and has given her love to someone else.

Yang Wenshan turned and left. Jiang Weichen sighed, then stopped thinking about it and gave Wu Cuihua the ultimate treatment.

Nearly a year passed, and Jiang Weichen pondered and created a technique to enter dreams.

This dream-entering technique uses powerful mental power to guide the other person's mind, allowing both parties' minds to resonate at the same frequency, thus achieving the effect of information transmission.

Jiang Weichen experimented with the golden eagle many times, first hypnotizing the eagle and then inducing its weak consciousness to resonate with his heart.

Jiang Weichen used his mental power to convey a lot of information to the golden eagle, and the golden eagle's eyes were a little confused every time it woke up.

After repeating this several times, Jiang Weichen discovered that the golden eagle's intelligence had actually increased and it could understand some simple words.

This dream-entering technique was used many times to instill human knowledge into the golden eagle. Although it could not fully understand it, it had absorbed a small part of it.

If this continues, Jiang Weichen feels that he might be able to cultivate a spirit beast.

This is a very interesting attempt. Maybe he can use it to research a way to awaken the spirits of animals.

After trying with the golden eagle, Jiang Weichen planned to use this dream-entering technique to treat Wu Cuihua.

The powerful mental power slowly enveloped Wu Cuihua like a veil.

Then he controlled the power of his mind so that it perfectly matched Wu Cuihua's heart rate activities.

Then he began to construct an illusion and transmitted the image of the illusion to Wu Cuihua's mind through the power of the mind. It was as if she was dreaming, and Wu Cuihua returned to the small village.

The sun shone on the open space at the entrance of the village, where she was playing with her brother and a group of friends from the same village. Laughter and joy filled the air, and everything was so beautiful and peaceful.

However, this tranquility was soon broken. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of everyone - a strange man covered in blood and with heart-pounding red eyes.

Of course, this is the image seen by other people. In Wu Cuihua's eyes, people are just shells. What she sees is a huge and bloody red knife.

The big knife was filled with endless resentment, and there was a faint howling of evil spirits. She seemed to see the big knife chopping down one person after another, and their unwillingness before death turned into wronged souls lingering on the knife.

Wu Cuihua's face instantly turned as pale as paper and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Her lips trembled and she kept muttering to herself, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..." Fear surged into her heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

But no matter how she begged for mercy, the big knife still chopped down on her without emotion. She felt dizzy, but she could not faint.

Just when the big knife was only an inch away from her forehead, a figure rushed over like lightning.

Chapter 382 Sudden War

I saw a handsome and gentle older brother arriving in time.

He kicked the knife-shaped monster hard, kicking it far away.

Then, the man also pulled out a blood-red broadsword. He swung the broadsword nimbly and cut down the knife-shaped monster with one clean and neat blow.

The man sheathed his knife and turned to face her with a warm smile. He said gently, "Little girl, what's so scary about a mere demonic spirit? You just need to be brave enough to resist it. It can be destroyed with just a snap of a finger."

Wu Cuihua stared blankly at the man in front of her with a gentle face and handsome features. For some reason, she always felt that this man was very similar to the body with red eyes, but the temperament exuded by the two of them was completely different.

This person was none other than Jiang Weichen himself.

Jiang Weichen deliberately constructed such an illusion and transmitted it to the mind of Wu Cuihua who was sleeping soundly through mental resonance.

If Wu Cuihua saw this illusion while she was awake, she would most likely be unable to bear it and faint.

Re-enacting this scene in a dream is undoubtedly the safest approach. The experience in a dream reduces mental exhaustion a lot, and Wu Cuihua will not faint. This is undoubtedly safe and effective.

The purpose of this illusion created by Jiang Weichen was to allow Wu Cuihua to witness with her own eyes the person and knife that frightened her being easily killed and destroyed.

"Little girl, I will teach you two boxing techniques. Next time you encounter that inner demon illusion, just use these two moves to deal with it. You will definitely defeat it in one fell swoop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Weichen demonstrated two simple and direct boxing moves with his bare hands.

After Jiang Weichen demonstrated these two moves, the entire illusion suddenly began to become blurred and finally slowly dissipated into nothingness.

At the same time, Wu Cuihua, who was still immersed in a dream, suddenly woke up with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Just as she was still in shock, Jiang Weichen's gentle and peaceful voice suddenly came to her ears: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

When Wu Cuihua heard Jiang Weichen's voice, the fear in her heart dissipated slightly. She stared at Jiang Weichen carefully, then tilted her head and said, "I just saw you."

Jiang Weichen saw that there was nothing unusual when Wu Cuihua woke up. Through telepathy, he felt that his mind was not exhausted, which was indeed much less than in reality.

If Jiang Weichen had used this illusion on him while he was awake, he would have been frightened to the point of rapid mental exhaustion and would have quickly fainted.

Jiang Weichen nodded and asked, "Do you still remember those two punches?"

Wu Cuihua tilted her head slightly, looking thoughtful, and after a moment she replied, "I don't remember."

Jiang Weichen was helpless. If he wanted to gather her scattered mind, he had to let her defeat her former self on her own.

Jiang Weichen was not in a hurry. He thought that if it happened a few more times, she would eventually rise up and resist.

As long as she defeats the version of herself she saw with her own hands, she will overcome her fear and her mind will naturally focus.

This was Jiang Weichen's first time using the dream-entering technique on someone and he found it quite effective.

The art of entering dreams is to transmit information and images to each other through the resonance of the mind. The spiritual consciousness should be able to do it, but unfortunately Zhang Ziyang doesn't know it, and it is not mentioned in Sun Simiao's inheritance.

It is even more impossible for Taoist Qingyun to do so. The old Taoist is now far behind himself and is the weakest among all the known grand masters.

He relied on Zhang Ziyang's guidance before, and now he relies on his own guidance. If he can visualize the Heart Palace, his Qinglian visualization method will be one step closer.

The autumn harvest was over in the blink of an eye. This year, the taxes in Dayan had doubled, and complaints were heard from all over the country.

The money that was obtained through sincere kneeling and praying in the past two years was not spent on paying taxes, and the money that was spent had to be doubled in grain taxes, and food and clothing were once again threatened.

The people began to kneel down perfunctorily. If the government had not forced them to participate, probably few people would have knelt down.

If one is not sincere when kneeling, the power of wishes will be scarce. Jiang Weichen went down the mountain for a walk, and through telepathy, he found that some people were not praying for blessings or asking for wealth, but cursing in their hearts.

Something is going to go wrong. After Murong Longcheng absorbs this year's power of vows, he will be further affected, and the power of vows is scarce, so he may not give up.

Murong Longcheng has obviously gone astray. If he wants to gain power, he can only benefit the people of the world and make them truly grateful.

As long as the lives of the people in the world get better and better, he will naturally have no shortage of willpower.

But he first used taxes as bait, and then used money as inducement to arouse people's greed. He absorbed these wishes and became greedy himself.

Sure enough, just two months later, Murong Longcheng sent envoys, demanding that the Liao Dynasty in the north, the Xixia and Tubo in the northwest, and the Dali in the southwest pay tribute and submit to him, threatening that if they refused, he would personally lead his army to attack them.

Duan Zhengchun, who had ascended the throne of Dali not long ago, was very happy and soon sent people to express his willingness to become a vassal state of Dayan.

The Western Xia and Liao drove away the envoys sent by Murong Longcheng. The Liao emperor, Yelu Hongji, was so angry that he almost killed the envoys.

In the past, it was the Song Dynasty that paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty. After Murong Longcheng took over, not only did he not pay annual tribute to the Liao Dynasty, but he also asked the Liao Dynasty to pay annual tribute to the Yan Dynasty.

The Liao Dynasty's high priest, who had become a disabled man, also learned the news and suddenly felt a little regretful that he should not have helped Murong Longcheng.

Now that Murong Longcheng is so powerful, the Liao Kingdom has lost its grandmaster, and Xiao Feng is only in the late stage of grandmaster, he has no choice but to contact Li Yuanhao of Western Xia.

Even the high priest contacted Xiang Kui, but unfortunately Xiang Kui knew Murong Longcheng's strength, and because of his previous backstabbing, he did not agree.

The top-level combat force was no match for Murong Longcheng, and eventually the two sides formed an offensive and defensive alliance, intending to use the bottom-level forces to jointly attack Dayan, leaving it unable to take care of itself and destroying Murong Longcheng's foundation.

But before they attacked, Murong Longcheng had already learned that Western Xia and Liao had signed an offensive and defensive alliance. Confident of his invincibility, he took the lead in attacking Western Xia and seizing its wealth.

He led an army of 100,000 and marched towards the northwest, leaving billowing smoke and dust wherever he went. Soon he joined forces with the troops on the border.

All the generals in the army were converted by Murong Longcheng and obeyed his orders unconditionally.

The order issued by Murong Longcheng was that after conquering the city, they should start looting and hand over all the looted wealth.

The sudden outbreak of war made many people unable to adapt, including Jiang Weichen.

Murong Longcheng has gone a little crazy. A powerful person in the realm of heaven and man has become greedy for money. He has increased taxes at home and directly demanded tribute from people abroad. If they refuse to comply, he will beat and rob them.

Jiang Weichen sighed. If Murong Longcheng could remain rational, Jiang Weichen would be happy to see him being so strong towards the outside world.

But Murong Longcheng is now a greedy madman. It's bad enough that he robs people from outside, he also robs and exploits people from within.

As a result of his plundering, the wealthy businessmen of Dayan have either fled or gone into hiding, causing Dayan's trade to plummet.

If trade is not prosperous, fiscal revenue will decrease, and Murong Longcheng will increase exploitation. If this continues, it may not be long before the whole world rebels.
