Chapter 272: Confucianism and Taoism enter the fourth rank, the fragrance of floating fragrance is waiting to be combed

Capital city, Lingbao Temple.

The beautiful national teacher Luo Yuheng wore a Tai Chi robe and a lotus crown on her head, looking like a dignified female fairy.

"Master, people say that Li Changan is a disciple of our sect and is good at flying swords, but there is no such person in our sect. He practices Confucianism, Taoism and martial arts at the same time, and all of them are at the fifth level. Now the news has spread in the capital."

Listening to his disciple's report, Luo Yuheng suddenly opened his eyes, obviously not quite believing such a statement.

"How is it possible? How many people specialize in one discipline and cannot reach the fifth level in their entire lives? How can he cultivate to the fifth level in three disciplines? Is Li Changan a centenarian?"

"Replying to the Taoist leader, Li Changan looks like he is less than 20 years old."

After hearing this answer, Luo Yuheng, a genius who had cultivated to the second level at the age of 33, still found it incredible.

"There have been many chaos in the world in recent years, and there are many bad people out there. Maybe someone wants to gain fame and exaggerate. You should investigate carefully and don't believe the rumors easily."

Luo Yuheng didn't believe it easily. She herself was a genius, so she knew how difficult it was to practice. If it was a genius like her, it would be reasonable for her to be able to practice the fifth level at the age of 20, but would there be another genius in the world?

"It's hard to say whether someone wants to ruin the reputation of the Human Sect or has other intentions. We have to be on guard."

The disciple heard the inexplicable vigilance and fear in the Taoist leader's words and felt that it was not necessary. Recently, the Taoist leader always seemed to feel that someone wanted to harm her.

Yunlu Academy.

Dean Zhao Shou was playing chess with the great scholar Zhang Shen when they suddenly started talking about the eldest princess.

"The princess sent a message saying that a strange man who practices Confucianism, Taoism and martial arts has come to the capital..."

Before Zhao Shou finished speaking, Zhang Shen said categorically, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"My Confucian school can change the rules and learn the unique skills of other systems. Since you have entered the Confucian school, why do you need to practice other systems? It is simply unnecessary."

Zhao Shou said, "But that person can use the Taoist flying sword, can perform martial arts transformation and energy, and can also speak and make magic happen. Some people have seen this."

Zhang Shen was full of confidence and didn't take it seriously. "What I heard is not true. Maybe this person is from my Confucian school and learned one or two martial arts or Taoist skills. Then he used them to deceive the world and gain the attention of the princess and become her lover."

"The princess also has such concerns, so she sent a letter to ask for advice on how to distinguish the true from the false." Zhao Shou said calmly.

Zhang Shen thought for a moment, "He can cultivate other systems to the point where they are indistinguishable from the real thing. This person is definitely not a simple person. I would like to meet him. I will go to the city to visit a friend in a few days, and I will go to see this person on behalf of the dean."

Zhao Shou nodded and said, "That person lives in Prince Yu's Villa. His name is Li Chang'an. If he is really a member of our Confucian school, why not invite him to the academy for a gathering?"

In Prince Yu's mansion, Li Changan's small mirror rang again.

[No. 5: No. 1, No. 7, are you all busy? Why are you ignoring me? How is that Flower Monk? Was he beheaded?]

Lina, who was not very smart, was particularly concerned about the gossip about the princess's elopement and had asked several times, but no one answered her.

Because Li Changan didn't know the final result, Huaiqing knew it but was in no mood to pay attention to her.

[No. 6: The abbot of Qinglong Temple interceded for the monk and finally saved his life. The monk was exiled to the frontier and escaped death.]

Hengyuan certainly cares about his junior fellow apprentice. As soon as he said something, Li Miaozhen keenly discovered the highlight.

[No. 2: Hey! No. 6 is also in the capital! ]

[No. 6: I'm leaving soon. By the way, No. 2, the one who saved the princess this time was the great hero Li Changan from Jianzhou. Is he really as righteous and upright as the legend says?]

【No. 2: Of course, it’s not just a general desire for justice, it’s simply hatred of evil. 】

【No. 6: Thank you. I understand. 】

Hengyuan was asking about Li Changan's character, which made Li Changan wonder why Hengyuan cared about whether Li Changan was a good person.

However, Hengyuan has an upright character and really hates evil, which makes him an outlier among the members of the Tiandihui who are full of scheming people.

Li Changan knew that this monk would not harm him, so he no longer paid attention to this matter.

In the past few days, both the Six Gates and the Dali Temple have sent people, with the same purpose as Jingzhao Prefecture, but they offered a little more silver.

Li Changan agreed to all the requests and the conditions were the same for all of them: he didn't have to work during normal days and would go only when there was a major case, and he didn't have to go if he didn't want to.

The reason why he agreed to it is because the cultivation in the Dafeng world cannot be done behind closed doors. It must be connected with this world so that it is easier to practice in the world.

Li Changan was sitting cross-legged in the room, using the wisdom from the furnace of heaven and earth to circulate several powers in his body at the same time.

Among these forces are the domineering aura of martial artists, wisps of Taoist spiritual energy, and the rich and lively spiritual essence of gods and demons.

The so-called furnace of heaven and earth is to use one's own body as a furnace to refine and fuse these different forces. This is also the reason why Li Changan can practice three methods at the same time.

In addition to the three forces, there was also a strange breath that tried to disrupt the fusion of forces, looming in the furnace.

This aura is the backlash force generated by using the "Speak and Act as You Want". It will be generated as long as you use the "Speak and Act as You Want".

Ever since Li Changan came to this world and used the power of speaking for the first time, this power was born. Therefore, Li Changan spent 10,000 points to exchange for the "Haoran Zhengqi" from the Ever Night world, which he used to condense righteousness and resist backlash.

In the Confucian cultivation system, the fourth level is the realm of the gentleman, who can condense a righteous spirit, use the righteous spirit to withstand backlash, and can do whatever he wants.

In comparison, in the realm of the five virtues, one can only use the six virtues of a gentleman to put his words into practice, namely wisdom, trustworthiness, holiness, benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty. The most commonly used virtue of a gentleman is "trustworthiness".

The great scholars of this world advance little by little through reading, self-cultivation, and perception, gradually developing a sense of righteousness.

However, Li Changan took advantage of the loophole and used the cheat function of the Crucible of Heaven and Earth to directly cultivate righteousness.

In the furnace of heaven and earth, a continuous and powerful aura gradually emerged around the backlash force, swallowing up the backlash force bit by bit.

The stubborn backlash force fled everywhere in the furnace, but the breath seemed to stick to the backlash force and could not be shaken off. No matter how the backlash force struggled, it was eventually swallowed up bit by bit.

This aura that replaced the backlash force slowly enveloped Li Changan's three existing powers, and was omnipresent like an endless ocean.

I have finally developed this righteous energy!

With the emergence of great righteousness, Li Changan's Confucian cultivation was successfully advanced to the fourth level. He could use the power of words at will, and the great righteousness would devour the newly generated backlash force.

The four great scholars of the Dafeng Yunlu Academy were only at the same level as Li Changan, all of them were fourth-grade gentlemen.

Li Changan's martial arts realm is at the peak of the fifth level. He spent 10,000 points to exchange for the "Dripping Sword Intention" from the world of Wilderness, because the fourth level of martial arts is exactly "intention".

This technique does not require practice, but is a method of enlightenment. This is consistent with the practice of martial artists in the Dafeng world. Maybe you will gain enlightenment during a fight.

Therefore, it is not possible to practice hard behind closed doors. With the part-time jobs in these government offices, there is a chance to encounter stronger enemies.

Since entering the Dafeng world, Li Changan's practice has officially entered the field of immortal practice.

As for the practice of Taoism, the system-modified "Qingyuan Sword Art" can condense Taoist spiritual energy, which requires daily practice.

In addition to these skills, Li Changan also exchanged for the "Nine-Character Secret Technique" from the world of Shrouding the Sky.

Although the Nine Secrets of Covering the Sky consumed a full 15,000 points, Li Changan still felt that it was worth the money, because this secret technique was effective in any realm, and its power would increase as the realm increased.

The nine secrets of Zhutian, Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Shu, Zu, Qian, Xing, each has its own magical features.

For example, the "皆" secret has a certain chance of unleashing ten times the attack power. This secret technique is effective for both martial arts and Taoism, and is unreasonably powerful.

However, precisely because it is powerful, there is a chance of it exploding. Now that Li Changan has just mastered it, the chance of it exploding is only the lowest one percent.

As the realm improves, the triggering probability will gradually increase to 10%, and for each of the Nine Secrets mastered, the triggering probability will increase by 10%.

The "Fighting" secret is an ultimate fighting method, named the Holy Fighting Method, which can simulate any attack. In theory, it can simulate attacks from other systems except martial artists and Taoists.

The "Xing" character secret is an extremely fast moving secret technique, and if you practice it to the extreme, you can even pause the enemy's time. The "Zhe" character secret is a high-level recovery secret technique, and if you practice it to the extreme, you can be reborn by dripping blood.

During this period of time, Li Changan initially mastered the "Jie" secret and was currently practicing the "Zhe" secret.

"Master, someone has placed a letter under the gate."

Princess Pingyang walked in with a letter. When she saw Li Changan, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Master, you look different."

Li Changan took the envelope and asked casually, "Really? Why is it different?"

Pingyang looked at him for a long time but still could not come to a conclusion. "His appearance has not changed, but he looks more like a good person now."

After she finished speaking, she quickly corrected, "He looked like a good guy before, but now he looks even more righteous!"

Appearance is determined by the heart. Li Changan has already advanced to the realm of a gentleman, condensed his righteous spirit, and of course, is even more upright and awe-inspiring.

Li Changan was too lazy to correct Pingyang's statement. What did he mean by "like a good person"? He was obviously a good person in this life.

"The Water Source Technique is progressing well, practice well."

Princess Pingyang practiced a technique that Li Changan discovered in the Red Dragon Cave in Jianzhou, which was left behind by a master of the Earth Sect.

"Master, when can I drive the flying sword?"

"Seventh rank will do, it depends on your aptitude, within three to five years."

Princess Pingyang's qualifications are not bad, this speed is already very fast. As Li Changan spoke, he opened the envelope in his hand. The words on it were very loud, "Three days later, eight and a half miles outside the city will be killed. Flower Monk Fahun."

Baliban is a place name, a small town in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Who is the Flower Monk Fahun?"

Princess Pingyang was shocked. "That great thief, he was the one who killed the chief constable of the Six Gates."

Li Changan couldn't help but wonder what relationship he had with such a brutal bandit.

"What cultivation level?"

Princess Pingyang shook her head awkwardly, "I don't know."

Before the accident, Pingyang had no knowledge of cultivation and his knowledge was limited.

"You should practice well. I will go to the government office."

Princess Pingyang respectfully saw her master off. Although her master was not required to be on duty, he took the initiative to go to the government office. He was indeed a chivalrous man who was eager to help others!
Not long after, Li Changan arrived at the gate of the Jiaofangsi.

If you take a slight detour from Prince Yu's villa to the government office, you will pass by the Jiaofangsi.

"Young man, please come in and play." Seeing Li Changan dressed luxuriously, the eunuch at the door came up to him politely and was very flattering.

"Is there an oiran named Fuxiang?"

Hearing Li Changan's words, Gui Gong scratched his head and said, "Sir, you must have remembered it wrongly. It was Miss Lanxiang, right?"

"Floating captives, the fragrance of flowers, is there really nothing?"

The old man's eyes rolled wildly, but when he came to his senses, Li Changan had already walked away.

The early bird catches the worm, and Fuxiang hasn’t combed her cage yet.

At this moment, inside the Jiaofangsi, a beautiful woman with a rosy face and bright eyes was reading a letter with beautiful handwriting.

"Yeji, after much thought, I decided to write you a letter. The man I like has come to the capital. I love him so much, and I'm afraid he's fooling around with other women."

"But my man is gifted. He has a martial arts physique and is also a Taoist practitioner. He never gets tired and can always come up with something new."

"As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. The capital is your territory. Rather than letting the wild women in the capital take advantage of you, it is better to let your sisters enjoy it. This does not conflict with the master's orders."

"That damned guy's name is Li Changan, you will definitely like him if you see him..."

After reading the letter, Ye Ji couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled, "I can't believe that Xue Ji, who is so proud, is so obsessed with a man. How amazing is this man?"

"Li Changan... isn't he the charlatan that has been rumored everywhere in the capital recently?"

Since I'm preparing to comb the cage, I will always have the opportunity to meet this extraordinary person in the future. Then I will naturally know whether what that bitch Xue Ji said is true or false.

Then she asked her maid to call the madam.

"What do you think? You'll get hurt if you stay out of your way. Considering that someone has taken care of things for you, I'll let you get used to it for a while before you start to work as a waiter. What do you think now?"

Ye Ji smiled charmingly, "Thank you, mother. I have made up my mind that I can no longer be a chaste woman after entering the Jiaofangsi. Please help me arrange a combing cage."

The madam looked slightly dazed. "Hey! You were seriously ill and almost died, but you became smarter after you woke up. You became prettier and gentler. If I were a man, I would love you to death."

"Mom, you're joking." Ye Ji smiled shyly.

Then, the madam said with a smile on her face, "With a beauty like yours, your mother will definitely arrange the most magnificent combing cage for you and invite all the talented people in the capital to come."

"You can't be careless with your combing cage. It must be held according to the standards of an oiran. Please wait for a moment while your mother prepares it well."

The madam now looked at Ye Ji as if she was looking at a cash cow, seeing real money flowing into the Jiaofang Division. She twisted her big butt and walked out the door, but just as she was out she poked her head back in.

"Girl, quickly think of a nickname that will be famous in the capital in the future!"

Ye Ji smiled coquettishly, and all the women, including the brothel owner, stared at her with their eyes wide open.

"Floating fragrance."

Jingzhao Prefecture, class room.

Lu Qing was introducing the background of Hua Heshang Fahun to Li Changan, "Brother Li, Hua Heshang Fahun's junior fellow is the leader of the black-clad men that Pingyuan Bo hired to rob and kill the princess."

"We only recently found out that both of them were from the Buddhist country and had studied in the same temple for more than ten years. But they both broke away and started doing business without capital in the Dafeng martial arts world."

"When Pingyuan Bo was suppressing bandits, he saved the life of one of his junior brothers, so Pingyuan Bo trained him to be a soldier."

Li Changan nodded slowly, "No wonder the man in black said before he died that his senior brother would avenge him."

Lu Qing's charming face showed a deep worry. "Fahun is a warrior monk. He has successfully practiced the Vajra Divine Art and has reached the level of Huajin, which is equivalent to a peak fourth-grade warrior."

There are two paths of Buddhist practice. One is the Zen master route, which is to practice Buddhism. The other is to practice martial arts, which does not require much from Buddhism, and is called the monk route.

The monk route follows the way of a warrior. If one practices the Vajra Divine Art, he will be called an eighth-rank monk, but in fact he can reach the strength of a sixth-rank monk with bronze skin and iron bones.

While Monk Fahun was successfully practicing Vajra, his martial arts skills also reached the level of Hua Jin, which was equivalent to a martial artist at the peak of the fourth rank, making him a great master.

Li Changan said, "No wonder he was able to kill the chief constable of the Six Gates. His strength is no weaker than that of the Golden Luo Night Watchman."

Lu Qing looked at the note handed over by Li Changan, his eyes dimmed and he said, "Ever since Fa Hun killed the chief constable of the Six Gates with one palm strike, he has been on the night watchman's blacklist. I heard that Lord Wei specially sent Jinluo Yang Yan to hunt him down, but he didn't catch up."

The path of a martial monk is that of the toughest warrior, and his physique is extremely strong. Even if he does not have very strong lightness skills, he can run very fast with his physical body alone, and it is possible that Jinluo cannot catch up with him.

"Being hunted by the Golden Luo Night Watchmen, this man can be considered the most wanted criminal in the Dafeng Dynasty."

Lu Qing clenched his fist and said, "He calls himself the Flower Monk, and he loves to torture women. Any woman he captures will be raped and tortured to death, so the Six Gates are hunting him down."

"He had killed the chief constable of the Six Gates, so he would have been hunted down by the imperial court. He would not show up again. But now he is challenging you to a fight for his junior brother."

Li Changan kept his word and acted accordingly. Even if he couldn't defeat this bandit with the peak strength of the fourth rank, he could always run away, so he was not too worried.

"Isn't this thief monk afraid that the night watchmen will get the news and kill him?"

Lu Qing sighed, "The monk's five senses are extremely strong. If there are masters around him, he will flee immediately. If there are several Jinluo ambushing him, he will definitely find out in advance and escape."

"Unless you use the instruments of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau or Buddhism to block the aura, but there are very few such instruments. With the current strength of this thief monk, we may not be able to kill him without the three golden gongs."

Magical weapons that can block auras are indeed very rare, and there are only a few of them in the entire capital.

Lu Qing continued, "But you can rest assured, Brother Li. No matter how brave he is, he won't dare to enter the inner city to cause trouble for you. You can ignore him."

"No, I want to meet this guy and see how strong the monk is."

Li Changan said it casually, obviously not taking the monk Fahun seriously. The Confucian school's words can change the rules. With a sentence "The capital is one mile away from me", the man escaped in an instant.

Lu Qing pondered and said, "Brother Li's strength is unfathomable, but to be on the safe side, it is better to report to the Night Watchman's Office and ask Lord Jinluo for help."

"Yes, if they can find a magical weapon to conceal their aura, I will be in the light while they are in the dark. This is indeed a perfect plan."

Li Changan was not opposed to the night watchman's office. Becoming a night watchman was the fastest way to gain power. The promotion in this intelligence agency was very outrageous. As long as you made great contributions, you didn't have to wait based on seniority.

Just like in the world of Joy of Life, with just one word from Chen Pingping, Fan Xian became the first supervisor under the director of the Inspection Institute.

There is no harm in getting in touch with the Golden Luo Night Watchman now.

Lu Qing would arrange the contact with the night watchmen's office. After Li Changan left the government office, he went out of the city.

Not long after, two yamen runners escorted a monk wearing shackles and slowly walked out of the city gate. Behind the three men followed a heavy-bodied monk.

Li Changan was standing far away in a pavilion. He recognized at a glance that the monk in shackles was Heng Hui, and the monk following behind him was his close senior brother Heng Yuan, who was also the sixth honest man of the Tiandihui.

Hengyuan had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a look of deep hatred and resentment. He was wearing a green, slightly worn monk's robe. He was tall and sturdy, with a thick string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and two rows of scars on his bald head.

He claimed to be an eighth-rank martial monk, but his true strength was unfathomable and far beyond the eighth rank.

Hengyuan was probably afraid that Henghui would be bullied on the road. Some yamen runners thought it was too troublesome to escort the prisoners, so it was not uncommon for them to kill the exiled prisoners directly in the mountains.

No wonder No. 6 said he was leaving the capital soon, so this is what he meant.

Henghui, wearing shackles, knelt down in front of Li Changan and kowtowed three times again.

"Thank you for saving the princess, otherwise I would have died a thousand times and would not have been able to redeem myself, and I would not have been able to be reborn after death."

Li Changan thought to himself that this was indeed the case. In the original novel, the ill-fated couple died violently, but Henghui's ghost lingered around and wiped out the entire family of Pingyuanbo.

He took out fifty taels of silver and handed them to the two yamen runners, "This is given to you by the princess. Please bear with me on the road."

Li Changan borrowed the power of Princess Pingyang, so Henghui could feel better on the road. Although this monk was stupid, he was definitely not a bad person.

The two yamen runners took the silver with a smile and kept thanking them.

Li Changan glanced over and saw a red figure hiding in the dark on the city wall not far away. No matter how powerful Huaiqing was as a parent, he still couldn't cut off his cousin's love.

At this time, Hengyuan said to Li Changan respectfully, "Master Li, I am Henghui's senior brother Hengyuan. I have long heard of Master Li's great reputation... Master Li is upright, eager to help others... and hates evil..."

Seeing the honest man Hengyuan speaking clumsily in flattery, Li Changan interrupted directly, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. Just say what you want to say."

Hengyuan said, "I want to protect you for a while, but I have been taking care of the children in Yangsheng Hall, and I am worried about you leaving."

No wonder No. 6 was asking about the character of Li Changan, the hero of Jianzhou. It turns out he was waiting here.
