Chen Heng smiled, said nothing, and just sat down on the chairs on the left side of the screen.
They are both caves built by Changyingyuan for their disciples to facilitate their meditation and shelter. They are almost the same.
Chen Heng was too lazy to decorate too much.
And Jiang Daolian is here.
But the layout is grand and spacious, and the court is very beautiful.
Looking out from the window, you can see sparse bamboo in the front and a pine canopy on the right as a pavilion. The tree shadows and flower branches are green, and it is very elegant and graceful.
And in this cottage.
It is also beautifully decorated without being vulgar...
The six Yuyan Palace lanterns hanging on the wall are soft and bright, enveloping the indoor screens, tea tables, ink paintings, harps, mirror boxes and gauze-like curtains in a layer of slightly yellowish halo, making them misty. It's like fantasy.
After the maid in colorful clothes offered the tea, she slowly stepped back and hid herself behind the curtain, out of sight.
Chen Hengming just stared at the light in front of him, motionless.
However, his mind was focused, he looked inwards at his own body, and turned his attention to the two great orifices of Shangxuan and Taiyuan.
The first level of the Purple Mansion - Returning to one’s roots.
This realm needs to be completed in the third realm of foundation building, so that the turtle phase is formed in the Shangxuan acupoint, and the snake phase is condensed in the Taiyuan acupoint, then it can be convenient to perform actions.
But it is not difficult to embrace a turtle and a snake.
But if you want to make it carry the yin and embrace the yang, and condense it into a pure truth of nothingness, this is the jade key.
Go and open the gate of heaven in the dark, open the palace inside and outside the body, and dig out the hidden treasure of soul and life.
It's not easy.
It doesn't take a few months of hard work to achieve success...
Even if Chen Heng had a true Dharma Realm at his disposal, it would not be an easy task.
As the saying goes:
Zifu originally wanted to be neutral, and wanted to be calm. When he realized that the pure and bright state was normal, he was in the important state of Zifushu.
Not clinging to anything, not being in harmony with each other, seeing the invisible, hearing the silent.
It’s the same as when you first cultivated the fetal breath.
This matter of finding Zifu is another "obstacle in knowledge".
However, the obstacle to breaking through this layer of confusion is far more than a hundred times that of fetal breath.
And there are no more tricks like "fear of life and death, self-satisfaction of gods".
Everything can only be done according to the plan and slow down.
During these days, apart from going out to listen to lectures, Chen Heng spent his energy on the "Four Mountains Duel".
And this superior Taoist technique is indeed extraordinary and has great benefits for concentrating one's mind and cultivating one's mind. No wonder many disciples who have entered the palace will practice this technique if they have enough merit.
During this practice.
Chen Heng was able to barely separate the turtle and snake phases into a jade key.
Just a jade key.
But he couldn't find the location of the mysterious Tianguan portal, and it was useless in the end.
It still takes a lot of hard work to finally succeed...
Just as he was thinking, Chen Heng suddenly seemed to sense something. He turned back slightly and looked out the window.
Among the dense tree shadows and flower branches, the sound of tiny footsteps sounded first, and then two figures loomed among the flowers and trees.
The dress is graceful and the hair is in a bun——
"Sister Daolian, you are so kind. I will come see you next time I come to Jinting Mountain!"
Chen Heng heard Qiao Rui's excited voice.
The flower crown on her head was also swaying, and the swaying light and shadow passed through the wooden windows and reflected on the soft cloud-like curtains, flickering back and forth.
"If Junior Sister wants to come, I will naturally sweep up the bed to welcome you. You just like it."
Jiang Daolian chuckled and replied.
The two talked for a while, mostly Qiao Rui asking questions and Jiang Daolian listening.
Finally, it wasn't until Qiao Rui reluctantly said goodbye that the noisy voice like a little sparrow slowly disappeared.
Jiang Daolian smiled and watched her skip away, standing there without leaving, motionless.
Until that slim figure disappeared.
She slowly lowered her head, suppressing the smile on her lips, her face expressionless.
"It's so good to be carefree..."
She said this in her heart.
There was silence for a while.
The wind blew through the flower trees on both sides, and the thin-stemmed leaves half a finger wide rustled like a dense spring rain.
Jiang Daolian put away his complicated thoughts and looked at the sound, feeling slightly startled.
Immediately he laughed to himself, turned back, and walked towards the cottage.
When she opened the small bamboo door amidst the salute of the maid.
In the middle of the hall.
On the tea table under the screen, a tall and tall figure sat upright, looking attentively at the dancing flames of the Yuyan palace lantern on the wall.
The profile of his face is sharp and sharp, and his hair is dark and neat, as if cut by a knife.
He seemed to be slightly in a trance, his eyes hidden under his long eyelashes, and he was also deep and solemn.
When Jiang Daolian pushed the door open and saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out. She just moved to the tea table and sat across the table from Chen Heng.
"You came."
Chen Heng withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiang Daolian, cupped his hands slightly, and said.
"I've been waiting for a long time. Because of Xie Huizhai and Xie Tang's pot wine ceremony, many people from the other families came from the other three courtyards to attend this ceremony... I didn't expect that in Tushan Ge After I leave, Qiao Rui will pay me a surprise visit."
After Jiang Daolian finished saying this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said softly:
"The little girl is really easy to coax. It was just a few plates of snacks, and she obviously wanted to get close to me, but she really didn't have any scheming or tricks.
It seems like this, I——"
Her voice suddenly stopped and she fell into silence. She just stared at the few tea cigarettes on the table, lost in thought.
A long while.
When Jiang Daolian raised his head, his eyes met Chen Heng's.
The two looked at each other for a while.
He said:
"It's rare to see you lost in thought, but it's surprising. What could possibly disturb your mood?"
"And you?"
Jiang Daolian lowered his eyes, but did not answer, and asked instead:
"It's rare for me to see you lost in thought. What were you thinking about just now?"
"I am practicing in Zifu."
"Zi Mansion?"
"The great road is difficult to see, and for me, the Purple Mansion cannot be easily accomplished in a few days... If I still cannot build the Purple Mansion before going to the Flowing Fire Honghua Cave, my chances of survival will be destroyed again. It’s peeled off a layer.”
Chen Heng lowered his eyes and said softly.
…
Now it’s March again.
It should be less than three months until Flowing Fire Honghua Cave Heaven falls back to Xudu Heaven...
Although there is a true Dharma Realm at hand, under the rule of "one day in this world, ten days in the Dharma Realm", for Chen Heng, the three months on the surface are actually two years and a little bit left.
But by condensing the tortoise and snake into a jade key, we can find the location of the gate of Tianguan and open the palace inside and outside the body.
This kind of giving is a hard work.
If a monk at the third level of foundation building wants to make a leap like a fish or a dragon and build a purple mansion, it will take at least six or seven years of hard work.
It depends on whether we can have the opportunity to grasp the glimmer of inspiration...
In just two years in the Yi Zhen Dharma Realm, he understood the Purple Mansion Volume of "The Jade Book of the Heavenly King of Dou Shu", cultivated the Purple Mansion, and became a veritable master of the immortal way.
this matter.
It is not easy for Chen Heng, and he is not absolutely sure.
When Jiang Daolian heard these words, he frowned slightly and turned his eyes and said:
"That's true. However, if you fail to complete the Purple Mansion before going to the Flowing Fire Honghua Cave, it will not only reduce your chances of survival by a few percent, but it will also inevitably disappoint some people and make them stop treating you. When you invest and make bets, you really can’t know.”
"Some people...are you talking about the elders of the Yuchen Sect?"
Chen Heng pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"That's right. Do you think that the title of 'Crown of the Four Courts' can be placed on you just by myself and by advocating behind your back? It can't be that easy!"
Jiang Daolian sneered:
"In the final analysis, your performance on Baishi Peak was truly astonishing. It attracted the attention of some Shangshen from Xiaoming Daze, and they acquiesced to my efforts to build your reputation.
And maybe not only did they acquiesce, but they also pushed the situation behind the scenes, which is also very possible! "
"Although I have a blood relationship with Chen Yushu, after all, I am not a member of the world clan? Some Yuchen Shangzhen, who is hostile to the world clan, should be happy to see this happen. After all, this is the so-called 'Four Houses' Among the crowns, among those who came from aristocratic families, there are Sima Quantong and Xie Su, who occupy two seats..."
Chen Heng said slowly, thoughtfully.
Jiang Daolian nodded slightly and was silent for a moment.
"Just now, didn't you want to ask me what I was thinking?"
a long time.
She suddenly spoke in a harsh voice.
"I have no interest in reading other people's thoughts, I just mentioned them casually."
Chen Heng opened his eyes slightly, not looking at her, and said calmly:
"If you don't want to say it, I don't have to listen."
"It's because of Qiao Rui... This girl is very much like me in the past. Her parents are still alive and her family is harmonious. It can be said that she has been loved and cared for by thousands of people.
And at that time, I didn't need to use any dirty tricks. Whatever I wanted or asked for was just to act coquettishly and be good to my father, and everything would be allowed.
Of course, no one dares to force me to marry someone I don’t like.
Because my father is Chunyang True Lord, even the clan leader cannot easily force him. If he is still alive and gets angry, he will definitely kill all those old people with ulterior motives..."
Jiang Daolian's voice was very soft, like a whisper in the middle of the night, and he said to himself:
"When I saw Qiao Rui today, it was like seeing myself in the past. Before my father entered the cave to practice, there was a time when I was naive and ignorant of worldly affairs..."
Chen Heng said nothing, just listened quietly.
The curtains were blown lightly by the fumigating wind coming from among the flowers and trees, as if they were mist flowing among the green rocks in the deep mountains.
The flame of the lamp flickered and flickered for a moment.
"I can't control my feelings, but it makes you laugh, Junior Brother Chen."
After a long moment of relative silence.
Jiang Daolian apologized.
Chen Heng lowered his gaze back to her face, but changed his topic and asked:
"I still don't know why Senior Sister Jiang suddenly called me here."
"You asked first?"
Jiang Daolian was startled at first, looked at him deeply, and then became a little funny. He took out Chen Heng's letter, slapped it on the table, and shouted:
"You wrote something, are you aware of it? Do you regard me as the leader of the Jiang family?"
Chen Heng looked at the dense text on the page, smiled at Jiang Daolian, and said indifferently:
"I can make an offer, and you can also make a counter-offer. Isn't that what businessmen do?"
"Merchant matters?"
Distracted by this.
The faint sadness in Jiang Daolian's heart was also washed away.
She was angry and funny. She snorted coldly, took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Heng:
"No counter-offer, just these things, do you like them or not?"
Chen Heng raised his hand to wipe the true energy of the treasure bag and opened it to take a look.
Then there was a burst of light, shining so brightly that it was about to soar into the sky, and the maids waiting outside the cottage were startled.
"As for the three elements, they are precious. I will send them to you personally in a few days. Anyway, I won't miss your time.
When the Flowing Fire Honghua Cave Heaven falls back to the Xudu Heaven, with the help of this thing, it is enough for you to refine the Yin Erosion Red Water to the middle state. "
Jiang Daolian glanced at Chen Heng and said expressionlessly:
"Remember, you owe me a lot. If you deliberately push back when I need your help, then you really deserve to die!
Even to the ends of the earth, I swear to kill you! "
"Even if Senior Sister Jiang doesn't believe in my character, I am bound by a legal contract, so I should still believe in my own legal contract."
Chen Heng stood up, bowed his head, and said solemnly:
"Heng is not a dishonest person. If you show kindness today, you will be rewarded in the future!"
In the past few months, Jiang Daolian saw such a solemn expression on his face for the first time. He was in a daze for a moment, and then turned his face away.
"Remember what you said today, don't forget it!"
she spoke.
Chen Heng smiled and shook his head.
And before saying goodbye.
Jiang Daolian suddenly called him again.
"By the way, since you were dubbed the 'Crown of the Four Courts', in the past few days, I heard that many people have invited you to travel and earn merit together?"
"Senior Sister Jiang, don't worry, I won't leave Jinting Mountain lightly."
Chen Heng understood the meaning of her words and replied slowly.
"I have placed a heavy bet on you. If you die, won't all my hard work be in vain?"
Jiang Daolian replied quietly:
"If there is something missing, you can just tell me. Anyway, one day in the future, you will pay it all back!"
Chen Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, cupped his hands, and a ray of light rose up from behind him, sucking him in, and instantly disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Daolian watched him go away, then slowly stood up and left the cottage.
"Girl."
When the maid guarding the door saw this, she quickly followed her, hesitated for a few moments, and then said in shock:
"Girl, I think that Mr. Chen is very gentle and gentle. He doesn't have any arrogance. He..."
"Gentle and gentle? Do you think of him as the white-faced scholar in the story?"
Jiang Daolian stopped and glanced at the waitress lightly: "Cai Niang, if you really think so, you are wrong about him."
"Huh?"
The waitress is confused.
"When he struck me with his sword, he showed no mercy."
Jiang Daolian slowly put his hand on Jade's neck, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled:
"but.
Let’s forget it…”
…
…
Five days later.
Jinting Mountain, Shigu Peak.
The melodious sound of string music spread throughout, and colorful flowers fell in profusion.
And looking around, there are countless escaping lights and talismans flying across the sky, like stars shining in the sky, majestic, seeming to crowd the clouds and sky.
A long-faced Taoist stood at the foot of Shigu Peak. Seeing this, he sighed slightly and said to his companion:
"This is Senior Brother Xie Huizhai's pot and wine ceremony? A scene where he is only a high-level expert in the Zifu realm, but because he is from a noble family, so many people come to praise him?
Do you think this situation is strange or not? "
I have mixed feelings. The historical text of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that I have been chasing has not been updated for several days. I am not sure whether it is a real eunuch...
