MTL - Seeking Immortals-Chapter 299 Man can conquer nature

  Chapter 299 Man can conquer nature

  In the winter of the forty-ninth year of Qianwen, the severe cold and heavy snowfall dyed Qianjing white.

  Emperor Qianwen did not survive this cold winter, and died on the fifteenth day of December, and the world mourned.

  During the Qianwen dynasty, after the Seven Kings Rebellion, Emperor Qianwen himself was forced to flee the capital and lived in seclusion for a while, but this did not affect the prestige of Emperor Qianwen.

  Emperor Qianwen was a great talent. After he came back to power, he wiped out the decline and the national power was booming.

  The only thing that surprised all the officials and the people was that before Emperor Qianwen died, he held a special court meeting and announced that he would abdicate the throne to Yang Ying, the innate master.

  The royal family has worked hard, and no one has raised any objections to the throne.

  In the early spring of the next year, Yang Ying ascended the throne as emperor, inherited the title of Dagan Kingdom, changed Yuan Xianwu, did not accept the Yang family into the royal family, and still regarded the line of Emperor Qianwen as the royal blood.

  Yang Ying has great prestige among the people and the army, and is also a congenital master. All places in Daqian respect him as the emperor, and he has achieved a stable transition to the throne.

In the erhu shop, the elderly Yang Xuan did not attend Yang Ying's enthronement ceremony, but found Li Qing, and sighed: "Yinger has changed, she was originally a heroine who devoted herself to helping the world, and being a hero is her pursuit, but now she is not yet." Satisfied with the status of the innate master, go to grab the throne."

   "I know that Ying'er came to the throne because she wanted to gain power and seek immortality."

   "Because of the illusory immortal way, it would cost people money and cause disasters. Thinking of Ying'er's high spirited childhood, joining the army for the peace of the world, I often say that I gave birth to a good girl."

   "It has become like this today."

  Li Qing was wearing a thick cotton padded jacket, with a collar sewn by Yang Ying around his neck, exhaling hot air, "Little Yingzi's heart hasn't changed, Brother Yang, don't worry too much."

  At this moment, the court hermit guard reported Yang Xuan's visit to Li Qing to Yang Ying.

  Yang Ying flipped through the memorial, frowned and said, "Father went to see Uncle Li..."

   Immediately, she smiled bitterly: "I don't know what Uncle Li will think of me."

   When it came to becoming emperor, her father quarreled with her again, saying that she had changed her original intentions and that she was no longer like Yinger.

   "I haven't changed, and I won't change!" Yang Ying's eyes were firm: "I have dreamed of fighting swords since I was a child, fighting for justice, and wanting to restore peace to the world."

   "I have done all of these."

   "However, seeking immortals and asking questions is also a dream I have had since I was a child. The world is peaceful, and I will protect it; it will hurt money, but it will not labor the people; I will also seek immortals!"

   "The Immortal Way of Longevity does not distinguish between the weak and the strong, and the human will conquer the sky!"

   Following this, Yang Ying promulgated a series of edicts to reduce and exempt taxes in large quantities, lighten corvee and reduce taxes.

  The army was streamlined and the administration was streamlined. Some fringe institutions were abolished, and various institutions related to seeking immortals were established.

  A large number of troops were conscripted into the deep mountains and old forests to search for immortals, but they were strictly ordered not to disturb the people, otherwise all those who participated in the generals above would be executed.

  Yang Ying also encouraged the spread of martial arts. She collected medicinal materials from all over the world, a large number of martial arts pills, mobilized all the martial arts pills of the royal family to cultivate martial arts masters, and called all the martial arts masters from the palace to Xunxian.

  Yang Ying searched for immortals with the power of the whole country, and the effect was remarkable.

  Some families and small sects in the deep mountains were discovered, bringing out some news about the world of cultivating immortals. It is too early for the underworld to enter the era of spiritual weakness, and there are still some immortal records left by the outside world.

   According to rumors, this is indeed an era of spiritual weakness.

   "What a weak spirit, I'm talking about it when I step on the immortal road!" Yang Ying's eyes were deep.

   In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed, and it has been eight years since Yang Ying ascended the throne.

  In the past eight years, Yang Ying has cultivated a group of extremely powerful immortal hunting teams, and these teams are all third-rate or above masters.

   There is also a special death squad composed of top experts. Yang Ying tries to keep the search for immortals from affecting ordinary people.

  Due to the continuous policy of benefiting the people, the people are now being massacred, but they have not received much impact. The only thing that has an impact is the army. The army is no longer guarding the border, and they are all looking for immortals.

   "Why, in eight years, I haven't found a fairy or a fairy trace in Dagan." Yang Ying is fifty-six years old. She pays great attention to maintenance, but her face is already wrinkled.

  No matter how old you are, even if you find immortality, it may not be of much use.

   It is necessary to practice martial arts as early as possible, and so is the cultivation of immortality.

  …

   After many years, Yang Ying reappeared in the Erhu shop.

   "Come in." Li Qing's voice came from inside the shop.

  After Yang Ying entered the store, she looked around and found a white dog inside the house, which looked very much like Yingzi. She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, where is Yingzi?"

   "Dead." Li Qing said softly.

  Yang Ying paused, with sadness in her eyes, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't help remembering Yingzi's company when she was young. Yingzi not only saved her life, but also helped her through the childhood nightmare.

  Although as early as twenty years ago, she no longer had nightmares, and even Mingwei no longer appeared in her dreams, of course she knew that Mingwei had always been in her body.

   "Yingzi is not a powerful cultivator, how could he die?" Yang Ying couldn't help saying, it was hard to accept.

"If you don't cultivate, you won't live forever, you will die, you will die, and I will die too. Look at you now, with all the efforts of the country, have you ever changed your original intention?" Li Qing said lightly, " And Yingzi should be considered strong in your eyes, are you sure to reach Yingzi's level in your life?"

   "Even if you reach it, you will still die."

  Yang Ying raised her head, looked at Li Qing and said in a deep voice, "It hasn't changed. I'm only looking for immortals, but I don't want to harm the people. I will protect the peace of the world."

   "As for Yingzi..."

  Yang Ying's eyes were full of confusion. A powerful being like Yingzi is dead. Can she really seek immortality and immortality in the age of spiritual weakness?

   No, not the same!

  Yang Ying woke up suddenly and argued: "Yingzi grew up with me since I was a child. I know Yingzi's temperament very well. Now that I think about it, Yingzi has no desire to cultivate immortality at all. Yingzi is just living."

   "And I'm different."

   "I have a firm heart to seek immortality. I believe that if I ask immortals in the age of spiritual weakness, my generation of aspirants can also break through the sky."

   "Spiritual weakness does not limit monks, the heart of the Tao is the most important!"

   "Okay, I won't argue with you." Li Qing waved his hand, ignorant and fearless, "This time, what do you want?"

Yang Ying let go of her arguing, and said seriously: "I want to get a copy of the Immortal Dao Kungfu, but I can't find it in the territory of Daqian even with the power of the whole country. I want to ask Uncle Li, is there really an inheritance of Immortal Dao in Daqian?" ?”

"I don't know about this either," Li Qing said with a smile, "the first realm of cultivating immortality is called the Qi Refining Realm, and there are nine levels in the Qi Refining Realm. If I give you an immortal technique, this immortal technique can only be cultivated up to the level of Qi Refining Three floors."

   "But you have to promise me that after you reach the third level of Qi Refining, you will be a good empress in Ganjing, are you willing?"

"Third level of Qi refining?" Yang Ying frowned, thought for a while, and said seriously: "I don't want to, I am seeking immortals, not just for a third level of Qi refining. Heart, what is the difference between that and the innate martial arts cultivation base that I am stuck on now."

   "I practice immortality to become stronger and pursue immortality."

  Li Qing shook his head.

  Just now, if Yang Ying promised, Li Qing would indeed pass on Yang Ying's Qi refining method that can be cultivated to the third level of Qi refining, so as to prevent her from entering the immortal realm. This is the request of the eleventh Yingzi before his death.

  Actually, today's aura of heaven and earth has dropped to the point where it only supports the third level of refining qi.

  Of course, Li Qing also thought that Yang Ying would probably not agree.

  Yang Ying has been obsessed with immortality since she was a child and learned about immortality through her own experience. The so-called immortality to protect the common people is just a superficial excuse.

  Although Li Qing passed on Yang Ying's martial arts skills, without Roushui Qiduanjin, Yang Ying could still reach today's level.

  If Yang Ying’s three-level method of refining Qi is passed on, and Yang Ying still follows the current thinking of seeking immortality, the teaching of the method will be meaningless, but it will only help Yang Ying face the despair of spiritual weakness faster and further madly seek immortality.

  Yang Ying finally left the erhu shop without asking for any information. In fact, she didn't need to ask. Li Qing's existence is the real immortality.

   "Cultivating immortals for the sake of cultivating immortals is Yang Ying's pursuit." Li Qing sighed softly, and he found that no matter what he did, it would not change Yang Ying's path.

  Even if Yang Ying is passed on as a fairy, there will still be such a Yang Ying, unless Li Qing restrains Yang Ying with magic power.

   "Ask about immortality earlier, but experience despair earlier. With Yang Ying's heart of seeking Tao, I don't know how to deal with that kind of despair."

  …

  In the autumn of the ninth year of Xianwu.

  In the middle of the night, Yang Ying was still sorting out the memorials. He had been on the throne for more than nine years, and the army searched all over the place.

  Yang Ying suspects that even in the age of prosperity that Uncle Li said, Dagan is still a secular world.

  She found out about monks sleeping in some ancient books. For this reason, she secretly organized a group of martial arts masters to hide their identities and excavate the ancient tomb in Dagan.

   Only these ancient tombs are ordinary ancient tombs, and there is no fairy way at all.

   "There are no immortals in the Daqian, and there is no inheritance in the ancient tomb. What about outside the Dagan?" Yang Ying was thinking, and suddenly, a congenital mechanism gathered outside the hall. Her face turned cold, and she said coldly: "Who!"

  First, when the weather mechanism emerges, it is obvious that the other party knows how to hide. Not many people know this method, so Yang Ying vaguely guesses who the other party is.

   "Haha, Grandmaster Yang... No, I should be called the Holy Master now, long time no see." A figure in a gray robe rushed into the palace.

   "It really is you, Wu Yilian, who dares to break into this place, I'm afraid you're courting death!" Yang Yingxiu exploded, and the palace guards were all alarmed.

  The person who came was none other than Yang Ying's former enemy, the innate existence of King Zhenxi.

   "I just returned to Dagan recently. I heard that Grandmaster Yang is looking for immortals, and I am also looking for immortals. Why don't we work together and let go of the grudges of the past." Wu Yilian said with a smile.

   "Do you know the news from the Immortal Dao?" Yang Ying looked suspicious and didn't act immediately.

   "Naturally," Wu Yilian said casually, "I knew the way of immortals existed a long time ago. When I helped King Zhenxi, I only wanted to use his help to find immortals. Later, I was defeated and went to another country."

   "I was able to break through my innate limit because I picked up a fairy fruit near an ancient tomb. That ancient tomb was dangerous and contained a large number of corpses. I couldn't break into it alone."

   "Now I have made some friends who are seeking immortality, and I invite Master Yang, the master of Xing Daqian, to explore the ancient tomb together."

  Refining corpses, ancient tombs, fairy fruits...Yang Ying heard the mystery, slowly let go of her guard, and said, "Where is that place?"

  Wu Yilian said: "Beyond the northern border of Daqian, there is an unowned land. Master Yang, we are happy to cooperate."
