Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 153 Discovery
The laughter of the daughter's family could be heard in the pavilion of Huifang Garden.

"Brother Qiang is here!" Although Lin Daiyu was talking to the sisters, she was also paying attention to the distance. When she saw Jia Qiang, she shouted happily.

The girls turned around and saw Jia Qiang, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, walking slowly, followed by Yi Ya and other twelve dancers.

Although Yi Ya and the other twelve dancers were all of heavenly beauty, Jia Qiang standing with them was even more eye-catching.

Jia Qiang's special temperament is unique in this era, and his appearance is also extremely handsome.

In the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Qiang can be regarded as the most handsome man in the whole book.

This kind of appearance does not come from the Jia family. Among the men in the Jia family, Jia Lian is considered good-looking, but he is still far behind Jia Qiang.

As for Jia Baoyu, it is better to say that Jia Baoyu looks good, rather than that she looks like a woman and does not have any masculine qualities.

Jia Qiang's appearance actually comes from the bloodline of the Tian family.

The women married by the royal family are all of top-notch beauty, which gives the children born with a high chance of inheriting top-notch looks.

I called them here just to add interest to this poetry meeting.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, Brother Qiang!" The three Jia sisters mumbled their thanks.

Yun Fei and Zhu Jun's maid quickly fetched the guqin and pipa. The two women looked at each other and smiled. They didn't need to say anything. They had been together for a long time and often studied music theory together.

"Sir, are there any musicians?" Yi Ya bent over and asked.

The sound of the piano started first, followed by the sound of the pipa, and Yi Ya and other twelve dancers danced to the music.

He waved his hand, and a maid brought a variety of rare fruits.

You must know that the maids here, except for a few who were originally personal maids, are almost all from the Jiaofang Division. Each of them is at least proficient in poetry and has a better understanding of this kind of music and dance than ordinary women.

They also found that Jia Qiang was very easy to get along with. This laughing brother had a very gentle personality.

Fortunately, the restraint they felt due to Jia Qiang's arrival soon disappeared as the girls talked and laughed.

Jia Qiang enjoyed the music and dance. Yun Fei and Zhu Jun, one was the number one prostitute in Jiangnan and the other was the number one prostitute in Yangzhou. They were both top-notch in Guqin and Pipa.

All the girls were affected by this top-notch audio-visual experience and remained silent for a long time.

Jia Qiang didn't think it was a big deal to let Jia Xichun live in the mansion. After he left Ningguo Mansion, he lived in the courtyard where Jia Jing studied. He owed Jia Jing a favor.

"Yi Ya, I haven't appreciated your dancing at home, so please show me your dancing today!" Jia Qiang said with a smile to Yi Ya who was standing aside.

Coupled with the twelve dancers trained by the palace, even though he had experienced entertainment storms in his previous life, he was deeply shocked by this performance.

"Master, let me play the piano!" Yun Fei volunteered.

If calculated according to Jia Qiang's seniority in the Jia family, the three sisters of the Jia family are one generation above Jia Qiang.

With her top-notch appearance and Chuchen's temperament, Jia Qiang is like a pearl that has fallen into the mortal world.

"I'm late. To excuse my guilt, I'll have someone bring you fruits from the south to cheer you up!" Jia Qiang bowed and said.

But they also know that Jia Qiang is no longer a member of the Jia clan, and since she no longer has any relationship with the same clan, this generational relationship cannot be ignored.

"I agree with Pipa!" Mr. Zhu followed.

Having more than one Xichun in the house would have almost no impact. At most, a dowry would be prepared for Xichun when he grows up.

He did not let the dancers sit with the other girls. In this era, the dancers belonged to the actors and were a group of people with the lowest status.

"You can decide on matters in the mansion!" Jia Qiang replied with a slight smile.

Lin Daiyu blushed immediately and gave him a slightly angry look.

After getting money, he is also changing the quality of his life.

"I've heard Yun Fei's zither, but I haven't heard Zhu Jun's pipa. I'm so lucky today!" Jia Qiang clapped her hands and laughed.

Miaoyu snickered from the side, causing Lin Daiyu to change her target and find trouble for Miaoyu.

The most important thing is that this is his own music and dance.

But regardless of the cost, using some secret recipes, these fruits can still be sent to the capital through waterways.

Although music and dance are beautiful, they must come to an end.

Yingchun and Tanchun heard the conversation between Lin Daiyu and Jia Qiang. Lin Daiyu had talked about this before. They didn't think Lin Daiyu could make the decision, but now it seemed that Xichun was really able to live in this place that they envied. Fuzhong.

Even the maids standing around were deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

"Brother Qiang, I just said that Xichun should stay in the house, what do you think?" Lin Daiyu whispered a few words to Jia Xichun, then came to Jia Qiang's side and asked softly.

All the girls happily picked up their favorite fruits, but the three Jia sisters didn't know what to call Jia Qiang and didn't dare to reach out.

"The colorful sleeves held the jade bell diligently, but in the past I was drunk and blushing. I danced to the moon in the willow tower, and sang to the wind under the peach blossom fan." Jia Qiang was the first to recover, and he praised softly.

Just like these fruits that are only available in the south, with the transportation capabilities of this era, most of the varieties will go bad before reaching the capital.

"You can also call me Brother Qiang. From now on, I will belong to the Jia family in Yangzhou!" Jia Qiang saw the hesitation of the three Jia sisters and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang!"

Next, Jia Qiang ordered the maid to reward the twelve dancers with some food and asked them to sit aside.

He doesn't care about anything, but he must also pay attention to the reputation of his daughter's family here.

The next day, You went to Rongguo Mansion and visited Jia Mu.

Jia's mother had no objection to taking Xichun to live in Jiahou's mansion.

Jia Mu didn't pay any attention to Xichun. She just liked beautiful girls to be in her lap, but she didn't really have any deep feelings for Xichun.

Besides, by sending Xichun to Jiahou Mansion, the relationship between the two mansions can be somewhat eased.

She knew that because of Lin Daiyu's incident, Jia Qiang had never been to Rongguo Mansion since that day, and even Lin Daiyu had not been here either.

One night at the end of October, Jia Qiang breathed a long sigh of relief after finishing practicing the 'Tai Xu Jing'.

After practicing today, he felt that his spirit had made a breakthrough.

The first practice of 'Maitreya Zen Reclamation' has the best effect. The effect of subsequent practice has weakened a lot, but it still improves the spirit much faster than practicing the 'Taixu Sutra' alone.

His mind moved slightly and he opened the game character status panel. After practicing for a long time, the improvement in strength and physique was not very obvious. The strength reached 212 points and the physique reached 40 points.

But the spirit has been fully improved from 38 points to 45 points, which is more than the free attribute points obtained by improving one level.

You must know that it is extremely difficult for him to advance to another level now.

And he has only practiced 'Maitreya Zen Recumbent' for a few months, and he has made such an improvement.

Jia Qiang had a vague feeling that he had some kind of reaction after his spirit broke through 45 points today.

He concentrated his mind and felt this inexplicable feeling.

Finally, he opened his coat, revealing the inner armor.

His inner armor almost never leaves his body, and it is very convenient anyway. When bathing, he only needs to put the inner armor into his inventory.

The defense of the inner armor, especially the heart-protecting mirror of 'Fengyue Baojian', is extremely useful.

He still remembers the fatal blow that 'Feng Yue Baojian' blocked for him. He only has one life, and he doesn't want to lose his life because of his randomness.

When the spirit level reaches 45 points, the induction he generates is on this 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror'.

He took off the 'Fengyue Baojian' from his inner armor. This treasure obtained from the immortal, in his hands, only played the role of confusing others' minds and acting as a protective mirror.

He knew nothing about the true purpose of the 'Feng Yue Bao Jian', and even the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" said it was extremely vague.

Putting his mind on the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror', he felt that his perception extended into the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' through an invisible line.

"My spirit can leave my body!" He soon knew what the invisible thread was, it was his spirit.

Through the command of his mind, he allowed his spirit to turn into an invisible line and extend out of his body for the first time.

After his spirit came into contact with the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror', there was inexplicably more information in his mind, which was exactly how to use the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'.

'Fengyue Baojian' is a spiritual treasure, which has the function of controlling the soul.

The front of 'Fengyue Baojian' can seduce the most longing desires in human hearts, and the images turned into reality make people addicted to it.

The reverse side points directly to the essence of temptation, and the actual image can break the disease of ecstasy.

This is only the superficial function of 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'. The most important function of 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' is to control the soul.

Every time the owner of the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' kills a person, the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' will absorb their soul into the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'.

A person's soul is used as energy in the 'Fengyue Baojian', which can be transformed into strange runes that control one's soul.

Of course, the use of the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' is still subject to great restrictions. It is difficult for high-ranking officials of the dynasty and those protected by the dynasty's luck to be controlled by the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'.

It's difficult but not impossible. If you want to use the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror' to control such characters, the soul energy required is even more different.

Jia Qiang held the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror', but her heart was like a turbulent sea.

The function of 'Fengyue Baojian' may only be regarded as a useless function for immortals.

Immortals have many ways to intervene in mortal matters, and they don't have to be so complicated at all.

As for those who are protected by the luck of the dynasty, the immortals will not come into contact with them, and they will certainly not take the initiative to provoke them.

However, Jia Qiang saw the important use of the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'. He could obtain 100% loyal people through the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'.

He mobilized his magic power and created a magic formula based on the application method obtained from the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror'.

He felt that three points of his mana were consumed, and the number of souls currently saved appeared on the mirror of 'Feng Yue Bao Jian'.

Eight thousand seven hundred and sixty-three souls, this is the number of souls that the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' absorbed after he obtained the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'.

One hundred of them are special souls, and consuming these special souls can control the soul of a dynasty official.

Jia Qiang knew what these one hundred special souls were. They were the souls of the one hundred flower owners he killed outside Yangzhou City.

Calculated according to the calculation that it takes the soul of a flower owner to control a high official of the dynasty, even the immortals may not be willing to bear such consumption.

Jia Qiang's eyes flashed with light, as if a flame was burning. It was a flame called ambition.

Without the 'Feng Yue Baojian', his two guards in the capital might still let go as before.

But with the 'Fengyue Baojian', he wanted to build the two guards of the capital into his private army.

He took out the Four Treasures of the Study and began to rewrite a new training plan.

This training plan is completely different from the previous training plans. Practicing the art of general body training requires a tough spirit.

It is impossible for him to pass on the "Maitreya Zen Reclamation" technique to those soldiers. Not to mention that "Maitreya Zen Recumbence" is the secret teaching of the White Lotus Sect. Even if he is willing to pass it on, how many of those soldiers can learn it? .

Mental toughness does not necessarily mean improving your spirit, it can also be achieved through some training.

Of course, this training plan can also be regarded as a test. The sergeants who can complete this training plan will be considered to have passed the test.

According to his judgment, the sergeants who passed the test of the training plan can withstand the pain and torture of practicing the general body refining technique.

Yes, he planned to create a group of powerful generals of his own. He could not tell how many of the 10,000 Beijing camp sergeants would be qualified to practice general body-refining techniques, but he believed that there should be dozens.

As the second-grade deputy commander of the Beijing camp and a super-grade marquis, he has the right to have a bodyguard of no more than two hundred people.

Among the generals in the Daqian army, many generals' personal guards exceed the standard. The generals will bear the military salary for the excess, so Daqian will not pursue too much.

Generally speaking, as long as the number of his personal guards is not too excessive, no one will say anything.

Except for the twenty personal guards who have been converted into bodyguards, he has not yet summoned any more personal guards.

Jia Qiang planned to build his personal guard into a team composed entirely of strong men, which was almost impossible for other generals.

But he has the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' to replace those precious recovery medicines. The only problem of loyalty is also solved by the 'Fengyue Baojian'. Then the rest depends on how much he can withstand the pain of practicing the general's body refining technique. The sergeant.

This training plan is mostly based on special forces training methods summarized from movies, TV shows, and some news in previous lives. It includes a lot of near-death training, which is of great help in improving mental toughness.

It is this kind of near-death training that transforms ordinary soldiers into powerful special forces.

Jia Qiang didn't know the scientific reason behind it. He only knew that this was a training method used by many countries in previous lives, and there were successful cases.

Now it depends on whether the endurance of the two guardsmen in the Beijing camp is similar to that of the soldiers in previous lives, and then we can make corresponding adjustments based on the actual situation.
