There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 275 Cause and Effect
  Leng Qianhu, no, it should be Leng Wanhu. He has changed a lot. Although his mood was indifferent before, there seemed to be a fire inside, a fire that prayed for the people. Now he is enthusiastic on the outside, but his soul consciousness is As cold as an ice cellar.

He was no longer wearing the simple and elegant clothes, but was wearing the robe of a third-grade military attache, with a golden crown on his head, and the guard's gold medal around his waist that was very dazzling.

Wang Ping greeted Leng Qianhu at the entrance of the dojo on the top of the mountain. Leng Qianhu was followed by a boy. He was still more than ten steps away from Wang Ping, so he bowed and said: "Leng Kezhen, the little man, comes to visit Changqing Road." Long, Taoist Master, there are countless blessings."

When he prayed, he handed over a greeting card.

Wang Ping took the post, read it roughly, and asked, "You also changed your name?"

"If I reply to the Taoist priest, I won't be able to live without changing my name."

Leng Qianhu, no, should be called Leng Kezhen now, the smile on his face was extremely bright when he replied.

This is very different from the Leng Qianhu in Wang Ping's impression.

"You have changed a lot, but your desire to seek truth is even stronger than before." Yulian coiled on the eaves of the courtyard gate and commented condescendingly to Leng Kezhen.

"Time has changed many things. If I don't change, I will die."

Leng Kezhen clasped her fists and said: "Originally, my little life will be dead if it dies. It's not a pity at all. But when I saw those people who deserved to die but didn't die, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. So I changed my way of living and wanted to die again. , I must at least pull one or two people to support me, otherwise it will be a big loss."

Wang Ping looked at him seriously, turned sideways and invited: "Fellow Taoist, please."

"I don't dare, the Taoist leader asks first."

Leng Kezhen bowed politely again.

Wang Ping didn't want to waste time on such a matter, so he turned around and entered the yard. Leng Kezhen told the boy beside him to pay attention and followed Wang Ping quickly into the garden.

"Your place is really good. It's countless times better than the dungeons I face every day." Leng Kezhen happened to be one step slower than Wang Ping and followed behind, looking at the spiritual trees in the yard with envy. and spiritual grass.

"It's a small place, and with the current status of fellow Taoist, it should be easy to build such a courtyard."

"That's what I say, but the capital city is a place under His Majesty's supervision, and the guards are particularly important. If there is any slightest sign, His Majesty will be questioned by His Majesty, especially in today's situation."

While the two were talking, they walked to the stone table under a tall spiritual tree. There was a chessboard on the stone table, with the remaining pieces of chess played by Wang Ping in his spare time. After Wang Ping invited Leng Kezhen to sit down, the two of them cleared it up in a tacit understanding. On the chessboard, Yu Lian hung her body on the branch of the spiritual tree next to her, looking at the two of them curiously.

"What's the situation like going to the capital?"

"I don't hide it from the Taoist priest. Nowadays, people's thoughts are moving. The powerful families hold power. The poor students are complaining. The lower class people only have fun and are used as swordsmen every day. There are millions of serfs below them. The grievances in the hearts of those serfs have already been It has accumulated to the point where His Majesty the Emperor cannot sleep every day."

Leng Kezhen handed the black piece to Wang Ping and said this slowly. He said it very casually, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He no longer cared about the country and the people as before.

Wang Ping took the black piece and quickly dropped another piece, saying, "You make it sound like the world is about to replace its artifacts."

"Perhaps it's really possible!" Leng Kezhen seemed to have a hint of hope when he said this. After he said this, he met Wang Ping's eyes, "I hate the unchanged Shangjing City. That city has not changed for five or six hundred years. ”

However, Yu Lian subconsciously retorted: "How is that possible? It is recorded in the book that Shangjing City was originally a barren mountain. Now it is covered with terraced fields, towers and houses. It is said that the Royal Palace Star Observation Deck reaches straight into the sky."

Leng Kezhen laughed and said: "No matter how high or numerous the buildings are, people's hearts are as rotten as rotten wood."

At this time, a boy followed the instructions and brought a stove and a teapot for making tea, and placed them next to the stone table. Wang Ping waved the boy down. He personally picked up the charcoal nearby and put it into the stove to start the fire, saying:
  "This is the case with magic. The emperor uses it to monitor the world, and the people use it to live and work. It seems to be extremely perfect, but they are coerced by each other. The longer time goes by, the more deformed it will be. Believe it or not, if this kind of culture and customs continues, The court ministers will also be coerced and coerced by the ideas of the people at the bottom, and they will govern the country like a game."

"That's it now!"

Leng Kezhen put down her son and said sarcastically: "Public opinion has taken over the court. Now the emperor and ministers have to give whatever the people want."

He stared at Wang Ping and said, "Zhonghui Academy plays a big role here. It's impossible that the Taoist Master doesn't know about it, right?"

While taking care of the fire in the stove, Wang Ping dropped a ball and asked, "Are you here this time about Zhonghui Academy?"

"This matter should be a headache for the emperor. I have been living a carefree life in the past few decades. The purpose of my coming is clearly stated in the greeting card. On behalf of the royal family, I come to congratulate the Taoist priest for his promotion to the third realm. Oh, yes Well, I just arrived at Shang'an Mansion and heard that the Taoist priest has become the third seat of the Daozang Hall. This position is very valuable."

Leng Kezhen cupped her hands, lowered her head and looked at the chessboard, placed another piece, and said, "I'm here with a generous gift this time, and it's a gift that fellow Taoists can't imagine!"

"Oh?"

"Jiao Hu, Commander Jiao, you fellow Taoist should be familiar with each other, right? He was also active on Nanlin Road in his early years, under the pseudonym Li Yan, and he and your master were sworn brothers with different surnames!"

The ball that Wang Ping wanted to drop stopped in mid-air, raised his head and stared at Leng Kezhen, and asked, "What does fellow Taoist mean?"

There was a hint of evil in his tone.

"Taoist Master, please don't misunderstand..."

Leng Kezhen said with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor entrusted me to prepare generous gifts for you, and promised to give you whatever I can. The few days when I was granted imperial power were the most glorious days in my hundred years. I asked around, I accidentally read an old letter about Qianmu Guan, so I learned some old things about Qianmu Guan and Commander Jiao."

"I presented to His Majesty the Emperor and asked him to give you Commander Jiao's head and the Cave Heaven Mirror taken from Qianmu Temple. What do you think His Majesty's reaction was?"

Leng Kezhen suddenly sneered, "His Majesty the Emperor agreed to my request without even reading the instructions I brought. Hahaha... Hahaha, do you think Commander Jiao was wronged? He may die. I don’t know how he died? But I was kind-hearted, and I told him the cause and effect. He was stunned for less than two breaths, and the spiritual veins in his body went out of control. "

"But, fortunately, my cultivation has improved, and I cut off his head before his memory was assimilated..."

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a square wooden box with exquisite sealing circle runes carved on its surface.

"This is Commander Jiao's head!" He pointed at the wooden box on the table.
