Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 5: Demonstrating the power of swordsmanship
"Let's go, second sister."

After he finished speaking, Jia Cong stood up.

"Brother Cong, where are you going?"

"Rong Qingtang, the first half of the play is over, it's time for the second half to begin!"

Jia Cong put his hands behind his back and walked out of the courtyard.

The play has just begun, so we must make it perfect.

Rongqing Hall has carved beams and painted buildings, and there are corridors and side rooms on both sides, with various parrots, thrush and other birds hanging on the walls!

There were more than twenty maids and old women serving her.

They gathered around Lady Jia and talked and laughed happily every day.

This shows the Jia family's wealth and status.

The tranquility of Rongqing Hall was broken only by the hurried intrusion of a servant.

"What? You said that Wang Zhu's family of three was beaten to death?"

"How dare you..."

"It has been many years since blood has been seen in this mansion."

What Jia Cong did in Yingchun Courtyard had already been known to the servants passing by outside through the open courtyard door.

After hearing the servant's report, Grandmother Jia was so angry that she trembled all over.

The first wife, Madam Xing, the second wife, Madam Wang, and the current housekeeper, Sister Feng, stood on one side.

All of them were in disbelief.

Is this still the same timid and cowardly Jia Cong?

Especially Mrs. Wang, Wang Zhu’s family were slaves who came with him as a dowry.

I have helped her a lot over the years.

If the government wants to do something, it uses silver and money.

After layers of exploitation, the bulk of the proceeds were given to Mrs. Wang as a gift.

"Madam, Master Cong is here with the second, third and fourth girls!"

At this moment, Yuanyang, the maidservant in front of Lady Jia, reported in a trembling voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Cong had already stepped into Rongqing Hall.

"I've seen the old lady!"

He stepped forward and bowed without being humble or arrogant.

Naturally, Jia Cong didn't have much good feelings towards the Jia family, except for a few special people.

But kindness is kindness, and resentment is resentment.

Jia Cong asked himself that he had a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment, and that the grace of inheriting the bloodline of the Jia family in this life could not be false.

Therefore, he maintained the most basic courtesy towards Lady Jia.

As for closeness, there is none at all.

Grandmother Jia was stunned for a moment.

Jia Cong was not happy about it and usually did not allow him to come to Rongqing Hall to greet him.

It's been half a year since we last saw each other.

I didn't expect that after not seeing him for half a year, I would see that person with timid and unpleasant looks.

He was wearing a white scholar's robe and had his back straight, like a peerless young man.

Extraordinary demeanor, priceless.

There is confidence in her eyes.

The appearance alone is completely different from before.

"You evil creature, you don't even kneel down to greet the old lady when you see her. Where is your filial piety?"

"There has been no bloodshed in the mansion for more than ten years. Even if the steward made a mistake, he should report it to the old lady and let the elders in the mansion deal with it."

"You bastard, do you just kill people when you say so?"

"We have built up a reputation as a kind family for decades, but you have ruined it all today."

Before Lady Jia could say anything, Mrs. Wang stood up and scolded her.

One crime after another was directly pinned on Jia Cong.

Jia Cong raised his head with an indifferent look.

"Does a fool like you from the inner house have the right to tell me what to do?"

"Today I will stop you from talking, but if there is a next time, I will see if the position of the second wife can keep you!"

After saying that, he pointed.

A sword energy flew into the air, and Mrs. Wang felt a sharp pain in her mouth.

Blood flowed and the tongue was cut off.

……

The servants in Rongqing Hall had never seen such tactics before and were immediately frightened and panicked.

Looking at Jia Cong with horror.

On the contrary, Lady Jia, as the first wife of Jia Daishan of Rong State, had some understanding of the practice of the extraordinary way.

He stood up excitedly.

He waved his hand and asked the servants to take Madam Wang away first, then looked at Jia Cong in disbelief.

"This...this is..."

Grandmother Jia has seen all kinds of storms in her life.

After all, it was Ning Rong's fault, not Lady Jia's.

Except for being forced to lower her intelligence in front of Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother knew the situation of the Jia family clearly. Jia Jing and Jia She, the pillars of the two mansions, were born as Jinshi scholars and the other was granted the title of Jia Enhou by the emperor.

His talent can be imagined, but it's a pity that he was implicated in the rebellion of the former crown prince.

One was imprisoned, and the other hid in a Taoist temple outside the city and dared not come back.

There is only one person left, Jia Zheng, who is not talented enough.

He could only get a fifth-rank official position as a Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works.

He had never passed the imperial examinations, nor had he mastered the Confucian methods, and had not been promoted for more than ten years.

As for the next generation, there isn't even a pillar to support the door.

When the two masters of the Jia family were at the peak of their power, they also had enemies.

Now, in a state of depression, Grandmother Jia drove Jia She, the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion, to the East Wing Courtyard, where he earned the reputation of the Stable General.

He also deliberately acted like the one in charge of the inner chamber, looking stupid and foolish.

Such a pitiful thing.

In addition, the retired emperor was still somewhat concerned about the Jia family.

This prevented his former political enemies from being killed and helped him get through the most difficult days after Jia Daishan's death.

At the same time, he secretly trained his second eldest grandson, Jia Zhu, to study for the imperial examination.

Until Jia Zhu died of exhaustion.

This made Lady Jia completely powerless to save the situation, and she could only muddle through, living one day at a time.

Now I suddenly see Jia Cong's methods...

"Brother Cong, what you just used was..."

"Madam, Jia Cong is neither good at literature nor martial arts, but he has the blood of Xian Rongguo flowing in his veins."

"I got a book of sword cultivation by chance when I was young. Half a month ago, I had already entered the stage of soul cultivation!"

Jia Cong spoke in response.

This one sentence was as shocking as a bolt from the blue.

Jia Cong was seen pointing his right hand to the sky.

Divine power evolution!

“Kang!” “Clang!”

Throughout the Jia Mansion, it was like a war between thousands of swords.

Endless sword energy was swung, piercing the roof of Rongqing Hall.

It is like the upside-down Milky Way, extremely magnificent.

Finally, a moon-white sword light formed in the sky above the Jia Mansion.

In broad daylight, it hovered above the Jia Mansion, just like the sun and the moon in the sky.

It attracted the attention of countless people.

Not only that.

All the masters above the second level in Shenjing City felt a terrifying sharp aura lingering around their necks.

It seems as if life and death are not in one's control.

More than ten powerful auras rose up.

They are all at the third level of strength, most of them are warriors, and the rest are two third-level Confucian scholars and one third-level Xuanmen Qi-refining master who is located outside the city.

"who!"

A hot-tempered innate warrior shouted loudly.

But then a sword shadow split from the moon-white sword light and flew towards the direction where the sound came from.

"Humph!"

After a moment, a muffled groan was heard, and it was obvious that the innate warrior had suffered a great loss.

The remaining powerful men in Shenjing looked at the moon-white sword light above the Jia Mansion, and their faces were filled with fear.

Martial arts strengthen the body, Xuanmen refines qi!
The first stage is called Qi Refining, which is about nurturing magical power. The methods at this stage are simple, and only some small tricks like sleight of hand can be used. It is far inferior to the warrior's body training to increase strength by 100 pounds.

The second realm is called refining the law. This law refers to the law of magic. At this stage, one can already compete with the acquired warriors.

The first two realms were fine, and it was time to refine the spirit in the third realm.

The gap between warriors and Qi cultivators was suddenly widened.

The so-called refining of the spirit is to temper the spirit and soul.

During this stage, supernatural powers are developed, the methods are treacherous, and the lethality is huge.

Especially the innate magical powers cultivated by spiritual monks.

The power is far beyond the reach of the magic at the second level.

It is completely possible to overwhelm and defeat warriors of the same level!
The life span of an innate warrior is no more than two hundred years, while the life span of a Xuanmen cultivator in the spirit-refining realm starts at three hundred years.

If one studies a longevity technique as a supplement, one can live up to five hundred years, which is enough to extend the wealth and prosperity of a family for more than ten generations!
Not to mention that Jia Cong's divine power evolved into sword cultivation methods.

Many wonderful methods, including those on killing!
Sword cultivator should be the first!

This was also what Jia Cong did deliberately. Shinto practice is the foundation and is of great importance.

If you don't have invincible strength, you can't expose yourself easily.

The swordsman's skills are just enough and can also serve as a cover.

Moreover, if someone wanted to plot against Jia Cong, they could just target him as a mere swordsman.

Then the surprise is coming!
