That's What Villains Are Like

Red lanterns were still hung in the pavilions, corridors, corridors, and walls of the palace in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was a festive atmosphere.

Jiang Lan walked through the several-story courtyard corridor. When he came back, his father Jiang Lintian and mother Li Qingshu were walking and chatting in the backyard garden, with smiles on their faces.

Jiang Lintian held the fish food in his hand, and his mother picked up a handful and sprinkled it into the pond, causing many different species of fish to compete for it.

"Father, mother." Jiang Lan came over and saluted.

"Lan'er is in such a hurry to return home? Why don't you stay in the palace for a few more days? Your grandpa really thinks highly of Xia Junxi. As a newlywed, it's just a good time to deepen the relationship."

"Besides, the ceremony has just ended and you are leaving like this. Aren't you afraid of making Xia Junxi dissatisfied?"

Li Qingshu had a gentle look in her eyes. As she spoke, she came over to help him smooth out his wrinkled collar and said, "This Xia Junxi doesn't know how to take care of others. She must learn how to do it when she has time, and let someone teach her." "

"After all, Emperor Xia is the king of a country. How can the future co-lord of the world learn this? Madam, if she hears your words, her resentment will probably be even deeper." Hearing this, Jiang Lintian felt helpless.

Li Qingshu snorted coldly, "I don't care if she is the king of a country. Anyway, if she is married to Lan'er now, then she is Lan'er's wife. She must learn to care for her husband and raise her children, and use less evil thoughts. I did not force her to give birth to me." A big fat grandson is already very good to her."

"Although I don't care about the affairs of the court, how much power has the Prime Minister's Office given to her in the court now?"

"Before this, the matter of the missing national artifacts had long been a commotion, and the Zhenbei Palace had been implicated by the whole family. How could Yi Ping Chaowen follow her like he does now?"

Jiang Lanmei's heart skipped a beat. His mother was dissatisfied with Emperor Xia. If it weren't for the family plan, she would probably be unwilling to let him marry Emperor Xia even to the death.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really difficult, but fortunately it has no impact on him.

After all, marrying Emperor Xia was just for luck and the plan of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The chances of my mother and Emperor Xia meeting in the future were probably few and far between.

"There's no need to be angry, mother. These are just small things. I will teach her well in the future." Jiang Lan persuaded her as a good person.

"Meng Ning didn't know how to take care of others before, why can't she learn how to do it now? Why don't you, Lan'er, bring Meng Ning into the palace to take care of you? It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to let Emperor Xia learn a lesson." Li Qingshu also replied Giving him advice.

Jiang Lan seemed to have a headache and said, "Stop saying this, mother. I don't want Meng Ning to be wronged because of this."

Jiang Lintian also said at the right time, "Just let the young people handle their own affairs. Madam, please don't cause trouble to Lan'er."

Li Qingshu's words were also a bit of a joke. After all, Li Mengning is also the true successor of the Li family in this era. She is also a saint of the Taiyi Sect, with an extremely noble status.

Even if Li Mengning is willing, those old guys from Taiyi Sect will not agree.

"Lan'er came back just in time. I just have something I want to talk to you about." Jiang Lintian lost the easy-going look on his face and became serious.

"Father, please speak." Jiang Lan looked at him.

In fact, he could vaguely guess what Jiang Lintian wanted to say to him, because it involved the future trend.

Although the plot direction has been advanced a lot, and even some plots involving myself have become different, the main world trajectory of this world will definitely not change.

This is a general trend of heaven and earth, just like a person dies, but the sun will still rise, and it will not change because of one person.

In the rolling torrent of time, a person is just a mote of dust.

In the original plot, when the fight between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the royal family was at its most intense, it was also the beginning of the golden age when luck was at its most fertile and opportunities abounded.

Just as everything that flourishes must decline, during that period, the court was experiencing internal turmoil and the situation was difficult to control.

War broke out all over the border. The princes and vassal kings of various counties rose up, armed with weapons and horses, and each took charge of its own affairs.

The order is chaotic, each immortal sect has its own orthodoxy, and all the powerful families are independent. Many people take advantage of the chaotic situation to seize opportunities and search for resources.

The same is true for the other major states in Kyushu. Opportunities and unexpected encounters mean that geniuses and geniuses emerge in endlessly, and the entire world is ushering in a scene of dazzling competition.

The situation and order maintained in the past no longer exist, and Zhongtian Prefecture has become a must-win place for the various holy land orthodoxy.

"Your grandfather Li Ran is a saint in this world. Many years ago, he had a premonition that the general trend of the world would change. The entire world would usher in an unprecedented golden age. This is an unimaginable opportunity."

"In such an era, every practitioner and living being may reach a state that was unreachable in previous eras, and have a long life..."

"That's why your grandpa made arrangements early and asked me to assist the late Emperor of Daxia in conquering various countries, cleaning up some of the countries dominated by Zhongtian Prefecture, and restoring the grand scene of Daxia that once shocked Yu Nei and brought hundreds of countries to court."

"There are some far-reaching plans of your grandfather. Otherwise, it would be difficult to clear many obstacles with Daxia's strength at that time." Jiang Lintian talked eloquently and explained these things to Jiang Lan.

Although Daxia is powerful, it has only existed for a few thousand years. You must know that in Zhongtian State, there are many extremely ancient families. Saints were even born in the ancestors, and they have a small world as their family heritage.

When the outside world is in turmoil and chaos, and wars are endless, he can still be aloof and unaffected. The thunder and lightning are exhausted and immortal. This shows how powerful he is.

The founding emperor of Great Xia was able to overwhelm all the major families and immortal sects and traditions at that time, and achieved this great feat.

But after his fall, no one with comparable talent appeared in the later generations. The royal family was unable to succeed, and there was no succession. No matter how powerful the empire was, it would naturally decay one day.

The original Qi of Daxia had actually declined to a certain point in the hands of the previous Emperor Xia. If Jiang Lintian had not been born to assist him, it is estimated that Daxia would not have the Qi of hundreds of years.

In other words, in fact, Daxia can achieve its current grand situation entirely because there is a living saint behind it, who forcibly continues it for another life.

How come the Prime Minister’s Mansion has so much power over the world that even the immortal sects from all over the world are afraid of it?

This is the main reason.

Jiang Lan is familiar with the original plot, so he is actually very clear about what Jiang Lintian is saying now.

But it is precisely because of this that in the original plot, the protagonist Lin Fan can save a snowball, push down a behemoth like the Prime Minister's Mansion, free Daxia from the fate of a chess piece, and even challenge the saint, which is the most outrageous part.

"Before the Middle Ages, the land of Kyushu was actually called the vast land of China. Even the overseas countries, those fairy mountains, islands, and endless coasts were actually part of the vast land of China. During the last great catastrophe of heaven and earth, the people suffered from boundless The great power shattered it, and since then, the ancient immortal sects, Buddhas, demons, and demons have also disappeared.”

"In your grandfather's calculation, after the golden age arrives, those ancient immortal sects will return and start planning."

"And the land of Kyushu has been the center of heaven and earth since ancient times. This land of Zhongtian State has given birth to many powerful figures who dominate the world. If you can control this land, you will also be able to control it in the near future. The most confident card.”

"The exercises practiced by my father are also closely related to the fortune of Daxia. When the fortune of the country is steaming and opportunities are pouring out, it will also be an opportunity for my father to become a saint."

Jiang Lintian's eyes also showed ambition.

Jiang Lan is well aware that the monks in this world pursue and yearn for the Nine Realms of Ascension. Once they break through the realm and become a saint, they will immediately enjoy a life span of more than ten thousand years. They can live a long life and watch the vicissitudes of the sea and the stars.

Although Jiang Lintian holds great power and dominates the world, he still has a deep attachment to this situation.

"Becoming a saint" in transcendental sainthood is not just a simple talk. Raising your hands to reach for the stars, tearing apart the heaven and earth, traveling through time and space, controlling the rules, it can be said to be omnipotent.

"Ruolan'er, if you are as happy and sensual as before, it will be easy for your father and your mother to keep you rich, safe, and carefree for the rest of your life. But now you are embarking on spiritual practice again, washing away the brilliance, and reaching such a state. …”

"There are some things that even if my father doesn't tell you, you still have to fight for them. In you, my father sees great hope." Jiang Lintian's eyes were more serious than ever before.

"Father, do you mean the golden age?" Jiang Lan's heart moved slightly, and he already understood something.

"Yes, your grandpa saw the hope of entering Nirvana in you, so in this life your grandpa plans to pour all the family's resources into you." Jiang Lintian said.

"So father, what you are saying is that you want me to prove my strength in the Li family in Suiji, instead of relying on the reputation of father and mother, right?"

Jiang Lan had actually expected what would happen today. After the Nanshou exercise ended that day, it was already destined that he would not be able to continue to hide his capabilities and bide his time as he had done in the past.

After Fengjun's ceremony, the amount of attention paid to him was far greater than before.

"The Li family in Suiji is a family of saints. In addition to your grandfather, there was also a saint born. That saint once understood the way of the seasons of heaven and earth, and created another one in addition to the ancient four seasons, called Suiji, so the method of the five seasons was derived. , and the Li family got its name from this.”

"Your grandfather was so talented that he surpassed many of the ancestors of the Li family. He climbed the Nine Steps of the Robbery Bridge thousands of years ago, and then went into seclusion for a hundred years. He became a saint in one fell swoop and became a saint in the world..."

"But with his talent, it is difficult for him to enter the Nirvana and achieve the illusory ten realms of Nirvana..." Li Qingshu also sighed slightly.

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "I understand, and I also know what to do."

The larger the ancient family, the more intricate it is. Although his grandfather Li Ran is a saint, he cannot have full authority to decide all the family affairs, and the family is not a monolithic one.

When Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu said this to him, they actually wanted him to return to the Li family in Suiji to prove his talent and potential in an upright and open manner and compete for the position of young master.

Jiang Lan actually has nothing to resist against this. With his current cultivation strength, he can easily defeat many younger generations without using the inheritance of the Blood Immortal Sect.

The family cannot waste resources on a useless person. If they want to receive an outpouring of resources, they must show that they have this ability.

The Li family in Suiji was different from the Xiangguo Mansion. After all, the Xiangguo Mansion was built by his father himself, and he was the only heir.

As for the Li family in Suiji, his surname is not Li.

"The Li family will have to go back sooner or later this year. The position of young master is completely within their grasp. My parents are too worried." Jiang Lan was not worried at all about this.

In addition to Li Mengning, the current generation of the Li family also has several young seeds. At most, their strength is on par with Li Mengning, or even worse.

Once he has completely condensed all his natal magical powers, his strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.

When she said goodbye to her parents and returned to her courtyard, You'er was practicing a footwork. Her black dress was like a lotus, the mist was misty, and her figure was erratic, like an afterimage, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, as if she could even breathe. Completely out of sight.

If you close your eyes, there will be a real void in front of you.

"Owner……"

Seeing Jiang Lan coming back, she immediately showed up happily and greeted him.

During this time, You'er's cultivation has broken through to the Fourth Realm of Zhaoyou Realm, and she can do more things for Jiang Lan.

"You'er, were you lazy while I was away? As soon as I came back, did you quickly practice the Standing Up Technique?" Jiang Lan smiled with a smile on his face and reached out to stroke her hair.

Li Mengning's cultivation reached a bottleneck, so she returned to Taiyi Sect before Fengjun's ceremony, and needed to use several treasures of the sect to make a breakthrough.

It will take a long time for the cultivation base to break through and become more stable, but it is not at home now.

"You'er...isn't lazy..."

You'er raised her face as white as porcelain and rubbed it against his warm palm. When she heard this, her face suddenly turned red because she was anxious, and she hurriedly explained.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "If you lie to me, you will be punished."

"I...I didn't lie to the master..." You'er stumbled to explain.

"As long as you didn't lie to me."

Jiang Lan pinched her cheek and asked casually, "How is the woman you stared at these days?"

"She...she wandered outside the house a few days ago, but when she learned that the master...you were grounded, she left. She has been living in Shaohua Building in Xicheng since then and has never left." Getting down to business, You'er quickly responded.

Jiang Lan nodded. Fairy Miaoyin didn't seem to dare to attack Xiao Tang personally.

Although she suspected that something was wrong with Xiao Teng, she struggled with the lack of evidence.

Now Emperor Xia plans to send Xiao Teng to investigate the loss of Zhenlong Seal, which just gives Jiang Lan a chance.

The National Master Ge Qixing is very hidden. If you want to deal with him, you can only use Xiao Teng's plan. At present, Emperor Xia still doesn't know the relationship between Xiao Teng and Ge Qixing.

Before the death of the late emperor, he had left behind two edicts. The former eunuch chief Wei Gong was ordered to guard the mausoleum, but in fact he left with one of the edicts and found the sixth prince Qi Qingxuan, secretly protecting his safety.

The other testament is in the hands of the national master Ge Qixing.

As for his father, Jiang Lintian, he was a man of great merit. Although he assisted the late emperor in achieving great achievements, he was not trusted by him.

Jiang Lintian didn't know about these two things yet.

"The late emperor was not simple. He had foresight and knew that Daxia would definitely become a battleground for all parties in the future. Regardless of whether Emperor Xia could control the government and stabilize the situation, there was a high possibility that he would become someone else's chess piece, so he deliberately left such a With one hand, let’s pull out the firewood from under the cauldron.”

"Now that Song Youwei has left the imperial capital, it's not easy for Ye Shiyan to do things for me. Fairy Miaoyin seems to have hidden a lot of secrets, so I can just deceive her."

Jiang Lan thought about the plan and planned to start with these two things.

Because of the tip bag left by Master Banxian, Emperor Xia is still sending people to explore everywhere, looking for relevant people, and wants to know who the heirs left by the late emperor are.

At present, Jiang Lan does not intend to disclose this matter to her.

Although Emperor Xia had some good impressions of him, he was not to the point of trusting and admiring him wholeheartedly.

After teasing You'er for a while, Jiang Lan returned to the palace and continued to refine his natal magical powers.

At present, in addition to the Three Thousand Phoenix Void Technique, he has also used the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Technique as the source during this period to condense the Four Saints' killing techniques.

Every great killing technique is created based on this, combined with Lin Fan's accumulated experience that he has absorbed. It can evolve into the true power of the Four Saints, combine and derive it, and give birth to various tyrannical powers.

In addition, there are Tianyuan Yijian, which is based on swordsmanship experience, and once the sword is drawn, it means the four poles of the cauldron, as well as Dawuliangshu, which is inherited from the Blood Immortal Sect, and Zixiaxian, which is inherited from Zixia Taoist. Light……

Each natal magical power represents the essence of those inherited experiences.

Jiang Lan was like an oven, melting all these into one body, turning them into his own use, drawing inferences from one instance, and deriving it from it to an extremely advanced level.

Of course, being able to reach this point is entirely thanks to that mysterious ancient vine.

In the process, a huge amount of luck was also consumed.

"Now I only have the last two natal magical powers, and I can start preparing many materials needed to break through the Dharma Realm..."

Jiang Lan has never had any bottlenecks or obstacles in his practice, and he does not need to comprehend anything.

All kinds of instincts seem to be innate. If they accumulate enough, they will naturally break through.

When others reach the six realms of magical power, in addition to condensing their natal magical powers, they also need to go through various insights, deductions, learning and honing to break away from the prototype and approach perfection.

And each of the natal magical powers he has condensed are the most profound and mysterious that his current state can achieve, and he can no longer advance.

Therefore, the magical realm is just a transitional stage for him.

Just like the previous Zhaoyou Realm and Soul Palace Realm, only the Dharma Appearance Realm may take a little more time.

In addition to the fact that he had the Immortal Creation Dew, which allowed him to rebel against his innate nature and have a flawless foundation, the vast majority of the reasons came from the Luck Dao Fruit produced by that ancient vine.

The theory of luck is elusive, but it seems to contain all the mysteries and truths of the world, as well as many secrets of practice.

He has the luck, path and fruit in his body, and seems to have understood the essence of practice from birth. All he lacks is the corresponding realm and magic power.

"The third stage of the Fruit of Fate has already involved the long river of destiny. Although it is just a vague shadow, far from being comparable to the real long river of all things, it has allowed me to touch some of the true meaning of fate..."

Jiang Lan planned to condense his own magical power of the Fate Fruit, which he named the Great Destiny Technique.

At this moment, many blurred lines seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Some are very deep and seem to stretch into the endless void, while others are very shallow and cannot be seen clearly unless you look carefully.

These lines and trajectories are intricate and spread out from nothingness.

Some fell on something outside, such as a plant, a stone, or a flapping insect.

Jiang Lan observed these lines carefully, then stretched out his hand to touch them.

bass! ! !

There seemed to be a clear and cold crackling sound in the dark, as if the strings suddenly tightened and then broke.

Jiang Lan noticed that the line he touched finally landed on an ordinary small stone.

The moment his finger fell, there was a buzzing sound in front of his eyes, and a blurry scene emerged, and then gradually became clear.

He saw dust all over the sky, falling from unknown places.

Some of these dusts are stone chips, some are flying sand, and some are rotten bones, flying all over the sky and falling from the sky.

I don’t know how long it took, but the scattered dust accumulated into small mound-like hills.

Over the years, these hills have been exposed to wind and sun, constantly changing their shapes, and their outlines have been smoothed away...

Eventually small rocks formed.

"The past life, the future, and the present are all clearly visible under the reflection of fate. If you practice to a more advanced stage, through the great destiny technique, you can directly pick and steal the fruits of the future in order to strengthen your body and involve your destiny. These causes and effects The traces are equally clear.”

"Through these means, even thousands of miles away, I can gain insight into the people who are causally involved with me at any time, and make interference calculations..."

Jiang Lan used the Great Destiny Technique to search for the causal destiny that was deeply involved in him, and finally saw some obvious traces.

He tried to activate his mental power, and the mist of his soul flew out from between his eyebrows, as if he was looking towards the unknown land along the cause and effect.

Soon, a blurry picture appeared in front of his eyes, and then the picture became clear.

Beside a pond with lush vegetation, a young man in a brown robe was feeding a group of horses. Not far away was a caravan carrying a large amount of goods. It seemed that they were on their way and ready to rest.

"As soon as we cross the frontier, we will soon reach the territory of Nanmo Prefecture. These porcelain, silk and tea leaves are scarce goods in Nanmo Prefecture. When the time comes, we can make a lot of money by reselling them."

"Just leaving the territory of Daxia, you need to worry about safety. The security in Nanmo State is not that good. It is adjacent to Nanhuang State, and barbarians often rob it. You still have to be careful and don't be too careless..."

"Daxia will soon go to war with Nanhuang Prefecture. How will those barbarians have time to plunder Nanmo Prefecture?"

The people sitting in the carriage were drinking water and talking, with the longing to make a lot of money on their faces and some worries about the dangers ahead.

By the pool, the young man feeding the horse had a calm demeanor, his eyes were calm and forbearing, and there was a faint flicker of life in the palm of his hand.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something and looked up at the sky, but there was nothing except the blue sky and floating clouds.

"It's strange. Why did I just have the feeling that someone is probing and paying attention to me?"

"Could it be that there is a senior hiding here?"

He frowned slightly, feeling secretly shaken in his heart.

"However, maybe I was overly worried. I was frightened along the way and had no peace day and night. I finally left Daxia safely. When I reach Nanmo Prefecture and find the apprentice the old ghost mentioned, I will be safe."

Then, thinking of something, he shook his head and slowly relaxed.

"I haven't paid attention to this guy for a while, but he slipped away very quickly and has almost left Daxia."

"But Nanmo State? It seems that the plot has been advanced again."

Jiang Lan withdrew his probing gaze and smiled.

The power of fate and cause and effect is extremely mysterious. Even from a distance of more than a million miles, he can spy on such a situation.

However, activating this method does consume your mind and cannot last long.

After all, Ye Ming was different from Su Qinghan, Chu Chan and others. He did not turn his heart to him, but hated him deeply, so he could not use the power of luck to peek into his situation.

This great destiny spell now gave him an unexpected surprise.

The next day, in the west city of the imperial capital, deep inside the Shaohua Tower, there was a magnificent palace.

"Young Master Jiang's sudden visit is really impressive. You didn't even inform the slave family in advance so that someone could be prepared and entertained."

Fairy Miaoyin's face is covered with gauze, and she wears a wide purple dress, covering her exquisite and convex figure. Her snow-white and delicate skin makes people think endlessly.

His eyes were charming, with a hint of watery light, which seemed to be able to enchant people's soul.

After Jiang Lan arrived, she came in person and welcomed him in, with a smile on her face and a bit of surprise.
