"Uh...girl it's so late, is something okay?"
When Balian saw the smile on her face, she no longer had the unacceptable attitude she had that day. He must have calmed down and figured it out after these three days.
The girl looked into the room behind him and said with some dissatisfaction: "Of course I came to you for something. Are you going to block me at the door and talk like this?"
Bailian coughed dryly, said rudely, and turned aside to invite her in.
The girl walked into the house, and Balian closed the door behind her.
The little inadvertent movement made the girl roll her eyes and smile narrowly: "Why did you close the door?"
Balian looked puzzled: "It's just a habitual action, what's wrong with it? Then I'll open the door again."
"Uh... no need." The girl said helplessly.
This is just a serious and stupid boy, and he can't even hear the jokes and jokes.
Could it be possible that he thought it was normal for two young girls and boys who were not familiar with each other to meet in the same room in the middle of the night and close the door?
In fact, Balian really doesn't think it's a big deal. To him, tomorrow's wedding ceremony and everything else are just illusions. What really deserves his attention is the fierce battle tomorrow.
He thought that this must be the reason why the girl came to him in the middle of the night. Facing a pig demon with a seventh-level Taoism, it was impossible for her not to be nervous at all, so it was not impossible for her to come to him in the middle of the night to discuss countermeasures.
He had an open mind and didn't think too much.
After the girl entered the room, she suppressed her smile, turned her eyes, and looked at the bright red dress lying on the table. It was neatly folded without any wrinkles.
She frowned slightly and asked, "You haven't tried on this dress?"
Balian nodded honestly: "I haven't tried it yet. What about you, girl? Have you tried it?"
A suspicious blush appeared on both sides of the girl's cheeks: "I...I...naturally am too lazy to try, and it's not like we are really getting married."
Balian smiled and responded: "That's right, besides, the tailor had already measured the size when ordering the clothes, so there shouldn't be much deviation, so there's no need to waste effort trying on the clothes.
I see that the design of this dress is quite complicated, and it must be very troublesome to put on. "
Originally, he wanted to follow her thoughts and echo her words, but he never expected to see a vein popping out on the girl's forehead, and her face looked very unhappy.
"Oh? Is that so? So you think getting married to me is complicated and cumbersome?" There was no ups and downs in the tone, but it always gave people a sinister and creepy feeling.
Balian shuddered hard and asked carefully: "What...what? Did I say something wrong again?"
The girl took a deep breath and kept comforting herself that she was not angry, not at all.
After a while, she showed a perfect smile: "You are right, it is me who is wrong. I should not explore this profound issue with you, a clumsy person. Okay, this is not the key. I have a relationship with you." There are important things to say.”
How could Balian not see the falseness in her smile? He muttered to himself, wouldn't it be great if you told me the important things early in the morning?
He very wisely assumed a posture of being open-minded and willing to be taught.
The girl looked solemn and said: "In the past few days, I have been thinking about the incident of the pig demon causing trouble. Maybe your guess is good. There may be people from the Demon Sect behind the pig demon."
Bai Lian felt moved and hurriedly asked: "What did you find?"
"Actually, on the day I first came to Beiliao Town, I heard about the pig demon. So I searched all the nearby mountains.
They are all little demons who have not yet achieved any enlightenment. They have devoted themselves to cultivation, but they have not come out to commit any crimes. Apart from that, they have found nothing, not to mention the traces of dozens of women. "
Balian's expression gradually became serious: "Young lady, you mean that the pig demon doesn't actually live near here?"
The girl nodded and said: "Yes, it is very likely that the pig demon is in other areas."
Bailian said in confusion: "But the pig demon is only a seventh-level cultivation level, and he cannot fly to the sky and escape the earth before he reaches the Kaiyuan realm.
Even a monster cannot be an exception. If it were in other areas, he would frequently commit crimes and abduct women. "
The girl lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering to cover her apricot eyes. It was impossible to see the emotion in her eyes. She said: "What if the demon sect practitioner behind the pig demon sets up a teleportation array here?"
Bailian was shocked, this was not impossible.
But in this way, the missing women would not know the specific location where they were trapped. In this way, even if the pig demon was killed, the women would not be rescued.
When Bao Buqi, a practitioner of the Demon Sect, saw that the pig demon had not returned for a long time, it was not impossible to kill all those women.
The people of the Demon Sect act cruelly and kill, and anything is possible.
"In this case, we can only subdue the pig demon tomorrow and force out the whereabouts of those women from its mouth." Balian thought for a while and said.
"Innocent! That pig demon has a seventh-level cultivation of Taoism. Although we have the advantage in numbers, due to the huge difference in strength, the possibility of killing the pig demon in a sneak attack or breaking its inner elixir with one sword is extremely small. Do you still want to subdue him? How to subdue him? Can't you do it with your level one cultivation level?"
Although the girl's words were cruel in reality, what she said was indeed the truth.
Balian smiled at her and asked, "What should I do if Miss Yi sees it?"
The girl glanced at him lightly, and her tone became a little ruthless: "Don't let the small lose the big. There are still many residents in the town, and we still have to continue to live. Don't let it be ruined in the hands of a pig demon.
What's more, we should save our own lives more than others... So I think it is our duty to deal with the pig demon. "
Bailian said: "So what the girl means is... sacrificing the small self to achieve the greater self?"
The ego is naturally those innocent women.
The girl's eyes were firm and she looked at him coldly and said: "What? Are you trying to teach me your big principles again? Are you saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda? Those women are innocent and should not be sacrificed?"
Balian smiled and shook his head: "No, I am not qualified to criticize you, and what you said makes sense. This is indeed the easiest way to understand."
The girl's expression was indifferent: "As long as you understand..." There was a touch of alienation in her indifferent eyes.
"But..." Balian interrupted her: "If you really think so, girl, you won't come to me tonight and tell me this. Instead, you will just wait for tomorrow to come, and everyone will work together to kill you together." Pig-killing demon.”
The girl's indifferent expression was shattered in a second. She spread her hands helplessly and said, "Why are you so stupid when you should be smart, but you are as smart as a demon when you shouldn't be smart."
Although the girl looked helpless, she was able to calm down the feeling of alienation that had been so difficult to eliminate.
Bailian said: "This is not a question of smartness or stupidity, but I believe that the girl is not a heartless person."
The girl laughed: "Believe it? Do you just believe in a person whose name and origin you don't know?"
Balian smiled and said, "I would be very happy if you would tell me your name."
"You have a beautiful idea!" The girl stuck out her tongue at him.
"It seems that I trust the girl, but I can't get the girl's trust, which is why the girl came here tonight to test." Balian said helplessly.
The girl smiled at him and said, "What if those three idiots from Banyue Palace can't withstand such a temptation?"
"So they don't know about this?"
"good."
Balian sighed helplessly and said: "I originally thought that tomorrow's battle would be very difficult, so I have to be cautious."
The girl exclaimed, pretending to be surprised: "What does tomorrow's battle have to do with you? Aren't you mainly responsible for shivering and hiding behind me?"
Balian laughed and said, "I did say the words about shivering, but I don't remember saying the words about hiding behind you, girl."
The girl's eyes turned slightly, and her eyes fell on the Quan Sheng sword hanging on his bedside.
She smiled meaningfully and said: "It is not unreasonable for you to say that you have to be cautious about tomorrow's battle. This sword is much weirder than when Zhao Baixun tried to steal your sword a few days ago. It seems that you We are also prepared.”
Bai Lian's head jumped, this little girl... has such sharp insights.
He has made Shou attached to the Quan Sheng Sword. In this way, even in tomorrow's battle, he can rely on this sword to prevent outsiders from discovering Shou's existence, using this sword as a medium. Come and fight the pig demon.
But tonight, the Quansheng sword had not yet been unsheathed, and Shou's aura had been restrained. However, with such a simple glance, she could discover the secret hidden in this sword. How could this not surprise him.
The girl smiled at him and said: "Don't be so nervous. I don't have that much desire to explore other people's secrets, and I don't see why your sword has undergone strange changes. It's just that I have a special physique. I can vaguely feel the cold air surrounding that sword being a bit stronger."
Even after hearing this explanation, Bailian still couldn't let go. The cold air she saw was the Yin air emanating from Shou's body, but he clearly told Shou to restrain his own breath, but she could still detect it. What happened?
"With all due respect, may I ask what level of cultivation the girl has achieved this evening?" Balian asked seriously.
The girl blinked at him and said, "You really want to know?"
Balian nodded.
"It's okay to tell you, but don't be scared. I am now at the sixth level of seeking Tao."
Balian felt dizzy in his head as he watched the white and tender little hand waving in front of him with the number six in front of him.
Seeking the Sixth Level of Tao...
She is only fourteen years old this year. With such a talent, even the Tianxi Sword Sect, the largest sect in the world, would be hard-pressed to produce a genius like this.
No wonder Zhao Baixun and others are so afraid of her.
It has to be said that Balian was severely hit by her. The gap between them was not just a tiny bit.
The night was very short. After Miss Baozi left, Bailian originally thought of meditating for two hours as usual and then taking a nap. However, after Miss Baozi interrupted and stimulated him, he felt slightly depressed.
Thinking that no matter how hard he practiced, he would never be able to catch up with her, and he would face another fierce battle tomorrow, so why not take a good sleep today, recharge his batteries, and then cope with tomorrow's battle well.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Bailian slapped himself hard.
He was disappointed in his own incompetence.
When you see others with good talents and rapid progress, you should work harder and not slack off. How can you become decadent and make exceptions when you have been practicing daily for many years, no matter how hard or tired you are?
Although his father is not around to supervise, but because of this, he should be more conscious. How can he lose his fighting spirit because of a momentary setback.
Innate deficiencies must be made up through acquired efforts. Even if you are worse than others, as the young master of Baituo Mountain, you cannot be too much worse than others.
After thinking about this, Bailian was no longer confused, sat down cross-legged, and continued to meditate.
I don’t know if it was because of his change of mentality. After Bailian finished reciting the mantra silently, the cyan aura in the Consciousness Sea Spiritual Platform condensed without any obstruction for the first time before. It even moved around smoothly without making any mistakes. Heaven, the faint blue light turned a lot darker overnight.
Although the threshold for seeking the second level of Taoism is still very far away from him, it is no longer as high as it used to be. At least now, Bai Lian can vaguely see the vague outline.
Balian closed his eyes tightly and kept making gestures. Although this happened suddenly and unexpectedly, he did not dare to have any big mood swings.
His father once told him that the biggest taboo in spiritual practice is that a monk who is overjoyed or sad, restless and unable to control his emotions is not a qualified monk. The road to spiritual practice is long and long. Poor qualifications are not the key, but the most important thing. It is to be able to maintain a stable state of mind and stay quiet.
To the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet. All things are working together, and I observe them again.
Can't see it, can't hear it, can't fight it.
In a state of restlessness and uneasiness, it is difficult to accomplish even an ordinary thing, let alone comprehend the great truth.
After two hours of hard work, Balian controlled the cyan aura for the first time and traveled for two weeks. Although the shadow of the second-level seeker was still far away, at this moment, Balian clearly felt that all over his body The pores in his body expand on their own, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth at twice the original speed.
The sea of qi in Dantian, which had always been blocked by a sea of silt and sand, actually began to relax under the wash of rich spiritual energy. Occasionally, a few drops of water that nourished all things seeped into Dantian, and for a moment he felt an unprecedented fullness. feeling.
After practicing calmly for two hours, Balian calmly put on his clothes and lay down. When an hour passed, he opened his eyes and got up with perfect time control.
He changed out of the plain white shirt he was wearing, and finally put on the bright red robe that was lying on the table, as well as brand new red boots. He even took off the simple hairband on his head, and put on the bun. With his gilded hair and crown, he stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the young man in red in the bronze mirror. For a moment, he felt like he didn't recognize himself.
It turns out that I look pretty good in the groom’s official clothes...
Balian muttered in his heart.
In the morning, the gray sky has faded, and the morning light shines on the steps at the door of the inn, giving people a lazy, peaceful and distant feeling.
