When the setting sun cast its rays over the entire divine capital city, the Hanlin Academy's carriages left Suzaku Avenue and were suddenly stopped when they turned the corner.
"Why did it stop?" In the carriage, Bachelor Chengzhi, who was reading a manuscript in his hand, frowned and asked.
After a while, the car curtain opened, revealing a little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth holding a fly whisk outside: "May I ask if you have some free time? Elder Chen of Qingyun Palace invites you to talk."
Chen Daoling? That great practitioner of the state religion?
The bachelor Chengzhi was startled, looking past the boy, he saw a chariot with the Taoist Qingyun emblem in front of him. The dark green demon blood horse in front of it was unusually handsome.
After pondering for a moment, he nodded gently: "Lead the way."
…
Before dark, all the azure robes, waist badges, books and other items allocated to Si Chen by the Qin Tian Jian were delivered.
After dark, Ji Ping'an closed the courtyard door after dinner, moved the wicker chair from the main hall to the center of the courtyard, and then lay down on it.
There was no light pollution in the ancient night sky, which made it look particularly beautiful and clear, and tonight happens to be the night when the moon is at its fullest.
This is of course not just a coincidence, but the result of Ji Ping'an's calculation, because according to his plan for his life, tonight will be the day when he starts practicing.
What is practice? It is to attribute the great power of the world to oneself.
"There is spiritual essence between heaven and earth." This sentence is widely circulated in major sects in the mainland. It is said to be said by Tao Zun. Ji Ping'an doesn't know whether it is true or not, because Tao Zun has been around longer than him.
Over a long period of time, the major races on the continent have evolved different ways of incorporating spiritual elements into their bodies.
Nourishing qi, breaking the nine, sitting in a well, observing the sky, divine treasure... are the realm divisions that are applicable everywhere.
The Xingguan system of Qin Tianjian is the most recent one.
In order to solve the problem of mixed body and spiritual roots in the second life, he thought for ten years in that mountain village. Finally, he got inspiration from the demon tribe swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, and created a new way of practice, which was to use special The breathing method allows the soul to simulate the rhythm of the stars in the universe.
In ancient times, the wise men among the primitive ancestors observed that the sun and moon moved according to fixed trajectories, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter rotated, and the wandering areas of wild beasts also had traces to follow. Those trajectories were rhythm, and the ability to create and perceive it was sense of rhythm.
When people are in tune with the rhythm of the stars, they can absorb spiritual essence from the starlight instead of through spiritual roots.
There are seven stars that humans can perceive, called "Seven Stars".
The sun is too hot for the human body to bear and cannot be used.
The lunar moon is soft and cool, and the quality of the soul required is extremely high. There are few people in the world who meet the conditions.
Taibai, Suixing, Chenxing, Yinghuo, Zhenxing... are the five stars commonly used in the "Xingguan" system. Each practitioner can choose the most suitable one through the star chart and study the corresponding spells.
The "six courtyards" of practice in Qintian Prison, except for the headquarters under the jurisdiction of the prison, the other five courtyards correspond to the five paths, and the leader is the "Prison Hou".
However, what Ji Ping'an wants to choose is not these five. What he wants to practice is the lunar path that combines the attributes of the five stars.
Perhaps because he has been reincarnated for three lifetimes and has the strongest soul in the world, he is probably the most qualified person in this world to practice the "Moon" path.
none of them.
…
The night is getting darker and the stars are getting brighter. The noise in the city of Shendu is far away, but the quietness of Qinglian Xiaozhu is very close.
The moonlight is like green gauze, the shadows of the trees in the small courtyard are dancing, and the cool breeze is blowing.
Ji Ping'an closed his eyes and did not read the book that helped students sense the universe. The world fell into darkness. His fingers on the armrest of the wicker chair tapped gently and rhythmically.
"Du..."
There was a soft hum in the courtyard, and the wind lingered in my sleeves. I opened the cover of the book, and a complex star map shone brightly on the page.
The most difficult part of the star official path is the step of sensing the stars.
It takes a few years for a weak person to feel the spirit, a few months for an average person, and a few days for a strong person. Among the five great prison princes, Li Guofeng, who was ranked just below Jian Zheng, took five days to succeed.
Known as a once-in-a-century genius.
Ji Ping'an only took one breath to enter the realm of sensing between heaven and man.
In the darkness, the eyelashes of the country man who was half lying on the wicker chair trembled slightly. His invisible soul started from the center of his eyebrows and spread in all directions.
For monks in the Star Official Path, when they sense the stars for the first time, their spiritual consciousness is not restricted and can come out of the body. If they want to reappear in the future, they must advance to the state of "sitting in a well".
The spread range also represents the strength of the soul.
Time seems to slow down at this moment.
"Attsu."
"Attsu."
"Attsu."
In the sound of knocking, everything that passed by the consciousness turned into information elements and poured into his mind.
A small insect flitted across the surface of the pond, causing ripples.
A piece of gravel on the ridge of the small building rolled down with the wind, making a thin and light percussion note.
The night wind blows through the willow branches in early spring, cutting through the subtle airflow traces of air disturbance.
Every detail of everything in the world is presented in the form of a picture scroll in his sea of consciousness.
Divine consciousness is still spreading, covering the small courtyard, and then the entire Qintian Prison. Ji Ping'an's perception brushes over the bustling Chang'an Street, the magnificent Zhuque Street, the rushing Lancang River, the majestic stone bridge, and the towering White Pagoda Temple. …
Passing by the incense-filled Qingyun Palace, the imperial city with thousands of households enveloped the entire divine capital, spreading infinitely into the vast dark night.
If anyone knows all this, they will be shocked and lose the ability to speak. However, the secret power of "Taiyin" gives the ability to conceal. When Ji Ping'an embraces the moon, no matter whether it is the Qintian Prison, the Divine Capital City, or the entire continent No visions occurred.
Calm and peaceful.
However, there will eventually be some great practitioners who, either because they are too close or because of pure coincidence, will be outdoors at this time and look up at the starry sky above them on a whim.
I noticed that momentary fluctuation.
Xin Yaoguang is one of them.
As the female head of the Great Zhou Guojiao and the first Taoist sect in the world, she is also one of the strongest people standing at the top of this continent.
He is also the only "Shenzang" monk who has been promoted in the past hundred years.
Everyone in the entire Divine City knew that the female headmaster of his family rarely showed up. Like the abbot of Dajue Temple in the Southern Tang Dynasty, she spent all day studying Taoist scriptures in a courtyard called "Silent Garden" deep in the Qingyun Palace. It’s hard to see the true face.
A few people know that the name of this female crown prince, who is the best in the world in both beauty and strength, was chosen by the Imperial Preceptor himself after the previous headmaster lost a game with the Imperial Preceptor of Zhou Dynasty.
Yaoguang is the name of Xingchen.
Only a few people know that every full moon night, Xin Yaoguang will walk out of the quiet room, wear a feather coat and a lotus jade crown, and stand by the plum tree in the silent garden to watch the sky and admire the moon.
Tonight's moon was particularly bright in her field of vision.
"Huh?" Xin Yaoguang narrowed her slender red eyes, and her eyebrows slightly raised on her flawless face, as if she had seen something that puzzled her.
