Chapter 1625: 15: All Beings
Chapter 1625: Chapter 15: All BeingsSleeping halls, study rooms, Martial Arts Fields, spirit halls, flower gardens, meditation rooms, and even some secret doors and hidden chambers…
The Spirit flows like water, coming and going.
The so-called “environment influences the spirit, nurturing influences the body,” conversely, a person also affects the environment they live in.
By observing this palace so meticulously, one gains another perspective on understanding Jiang Wuqi.
The clarity of the past, the sorrow of today, all tied to one person.
One person, one lifetime, a strand of Spirit.
Jiang Wang observed very earnestly. A person like Jiang Wuqi, whose goal is to achieve the Transcendent, must have a unique understanding of this world. These insights may not be consistent, but they are certainly worth understanding and learning from.
The saying goes, “See the virtuous and strive to match them; see the non-virtuous and reflect inwardly.”
The process of further understanding Jiang Wuqi is also a process of self-enlightenment.
With the help of the Red Mirror, Jiang Wang hardly missed any detail.
There was plenty of valuable information observed, but information that might be related to the assassination attempt on Concubine Lei couldn’t be found anywhere.
Watching the two Qing brand catchers still busy in front of him, Jiang Wang swallowed a sigh in his heart.
He understood there was another possibility—perhaps he had already seen the corresponding clues but didn’t know they were related to the assassination attempt on Concubine Lei.
After all, about the major case of the thirty-eighth year of Yuan Feng, he knew only fragments.
Who was involved, who was the most suspect back then, why it ultimately became a cold case… all were unknown.
Perhaps the clues were right in front of him, unrecognizable, and earlier thoughts were a bit naive.
After all, skills have their specialization; maybe he could only wait for the investigation results from Lin Youxie or Zheng Shangming…
Jiang Wang, relying on the Red Mirror, aimlessly swept his gaze around, then suddenly shifted his focus to the screen wall in the front hall.
When Feng Gu sent him off that day, they stopped in front of this screen wall, exchanged some words. That was also Feng Gu’s last interaction with him.
At that time, the first question Feng Gu asked was—”Sir, do you trust the Eleventh Prince?”
Thinking back now, was there any hidden meaning in that question?
Was there any hidden information at the place he deliberately stopped by?
Since Feng Gu hoped in his will that he would oversee the case’s progress, logically, he should have left some clues for himself… like the Little Knife Lin Youxie received.
But Jiang Wang recalled carefully many times and found nothing particularly revealing.
Feng Gu’s words did reveal he wanted to do something, but no specific details were mentioned.
Jiang Wang had seen this screen wall many times entering and leaving Long Life Palace, and the back was a very exquisite painting, titled “All Beings” on the right.
Signed as “Longevity Palace Master”.
Jiang Wuqi himself was proficient in painting, calligraphy, and poetry, leaving many works in the palace. Jiang Wang had seen many, although knowing they were excellent, honestly speaking, his appreciation ability for these works was temporarily limited to applauding loudly. To specifically say where they were good, was difficult…
Thus, he had initially only glanced casually at the painting on the screen wall and paid it no mind. Now, observing carefully, it was truly astonishing.
In the painting, there were commoners and nobles, each face vivid and lifelike.
Also, carved beams and painted rafters, bustling scenes of traffic. There were distant mountains with shadows, tranquil waters flowing deep, birds and trees in vivid colors, old men and playful children.
Upon closer examination, it truly was “one painting encompassing all beings.”
Not just everyone attending to their roles; some stories were occurring in places.
Playful and bantering, embracing arm in arm, greeting and sending off…
For instance, in the lower-left corner of the mural, a neatly dressed person lightly touches his ear with his left forefinger while pointing with his right hand at a paper on the table in front of him..clearly, his hearing was impaired, demanding to communicate in writing.
In front of him, a man talking eloquently with patched clothes, dull eyes, holding a walking stick, clearly was vision-impaired…
A deaf-mute and blind person’s exchange—the former gesturing, the latter talking endlessly—it’s truly strange and wondrous.
Like a farmer carrying manure on the riverbank, passersby cover their noses.
Only an old fisherman remains unmoved, calm and composed… clearly, his nose was defective.
This loss of smell, he misses some splendid things but also avoids some troubles.
Such instances were numerous.
This mural, the more one looks, the more profoundly wonderful it becomes.
Truly, there is brilliance everywhere, depicting “humanity,” illustrating “life”.
Jiang Wang, having traveled this far, seen grandness and tranquility, observed many and understood many. He created the Human Character Sword, saw all beings, and evolved all beings.
In just a few short years after becoming a Transcendent, he had experienced wonders many never saw in a lifetime.
But, after all, it was only “a few years.”
He never dared to say that this Human Character Sword was Perfect, much less that he had seen through all of humanity.
Now, upon closely examining this painting, it felt like experiencing the artist’s life all over again, observing hundreds of lives within the world constructed by the artist… the gains were substantial.
While secretly studying inscriptions in every book with the Secret Technique, Zheng Shangming suddenly turned his head, having perceived the terrifying Sword Intent on Jiang Wang. Restrained yet evident, it bore the power to crush mountains.
He had long known Jiang Wang’s immense strength and firmly believed Jiang Qingyang was indeed Qi Country’s first genius.
After all, the lesson from the encounter at Gan Ma Mountain was profound enough. Later, Jiang Wang’s progress was rapid, with each battle report hushed almost to silence, breaking legends step by step, creating history.
