The first ray of sunshine every day breaks through the sky, and the eldest grandson opens his eyes on time. After returning home, the eldest grandson still maintains this habit. To outsiders, it seems that the eldest grandson only gets up at noon every day. Only Chu Li, who delivers meals to the eldest grandson every morning, knows that every day, the eldest grandson wakes up. They all got up very early.
Changsun Wentian was very domineering and built Lishan as his own back garden, so the backyard of Changsun Mansion was Lishan.
The eldest grandson runs in the jungle of Lishan. For more than a month, the eldest grandson comes to the backyard to run every day, and his physical strength has increased significantly.
Although it has already entered cold autumn and will enter early winter in a few days, the cold-resistant coniferous pines in the backyard still block out the sun. The eldest grandson likes to exercise here very much. Although the fresh air is cold, it does not irritate the throat when breathing, and the air is vague. If the sweet spring nourishes the body and mind, the eldest grandson gradually falls in love with this world, a primitive and magical world.
After finishing his run, the eldest grandson sat down on a huge stone and concentrated his mind, as if he were in a Zen meditation. "All living beings are troubled, and troubles are all suffering. Troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. The tangible things , born from the formless, incapable of being, and existence returns to nothingness. The state is born from the heart. Quietness, controlling all movements with immobility. Quietness, the heart is clear, and the body is cool. Joy, anger, sadness, shock, chaos, and stillness are all caused by Born in the heart." This is a meditation mantra widely circulated in mainland China.
The eldest grandson recited silently in his heart, and the words flowed through his heart like spring water. After a while, the eldest grandson entered a state of extreme tranquility.
For a month, outsiders only knew that Changsun would let Chu Li enter and leave the Scripture Pavilion during the day, but all he got back were some miscellaneous notes on unofficial history. In fact, the eldest grandson has been secretly entering and leaving the Sutra Pavilion since he was five years old.
When the eldest grandson was five years old, his parents disappeared during a mission. At the same time, the eldest grandson also fell seriously ill and fell into a coma. The eldest grandson asked many doctors but nothing could be done. In the end, Changsun Wentian had no choice but to believe in folk remedies and bring happiness to his eldest grandson. In this way, Chuli became his eldest grandson's child bride.
However, what people didn't expect was that the grandson actually woke up after a happy event. However, the eldest grandson also lost the foundation of cultivation because of this serious illness, and since then he has become the "good-for-nothing young master" that people talk about behind his back. The clan elders strongly opposed the eldest grandson becoming the next heir of the family, and demanded that the eldest grandson Wentian continue his marriage. This is why the current dispute over power within the family has arisen.
After waking up, the eldest grandson learned that he could not practice cultivation. This put a touch of gloom in the heart of the eldest grandson who had already suffered the heavy loss of his parents.
Unwilling to admit defeat, the eldest grandson secretly went to the Sutra Pavilion countless times at night and tried countless times.
In the end, the cruelty of the facts shattered the illusions of young children. If you want to practice, you must first be able to sense the presence of spiritual energy around you after entering concentration.
It is like a child who is blind right after birth. It is naturally difficult for him to study. The eldest grandson is such a "blind man".
Because the serious illness had traumatized Changsun Yanghun, it was difficult for Changsun to enter samadhi, and it was even more difficult for Changsun to sense the existence of spiritual energy.
A month ago, Changsun once again tried to sense spiritual energy. What Changsun didn't expect was that when the meditation mantra flowed through his heart, he quickly fell into meditation. He entered a state of extreme tranquility that he had barely succeeded in countless attempts in the past.
Changsun suppressed the excitement in his heart. He had a strong feeling that because of the experience more than three months ago, this attempt would be different.
The eldest grandson carefully let his spirit go out, just like a newborn baby opening his eyes to see the world for the first time. The eldest grandson also saw this magical world for the first time. He saw a sea of nothingness with a little floating on the sea. A little fluorescence surrounded him tightly, as if he was in the starry sky.
"This is the sea of stars mentioned in the book." Changsun sighed in his heart. When he was reading books about cultivation, he had fantasized about the appearance of the sea of stars more than once, but the scene in front of him still shocked him. The fluorescence is like a star, slowly falling into the world and turning into little gleams. There is no feeling of loneliness in having a grandchild in nothingness. Being wrapped in the fluorescent center feels like bathing in the morning sun, and it feels like returning to a warm swaddling clothes.
Changsun carefully pulled the surrounding spiritual energy into his body. The spiritual energy entered his body with each breath of Changsun, and slowly merged into his Dantian along with a meridian. Changsun had seen this meridian in the book, and people would He called it "Star Road."
People who have just started to practice have blocked meridians and need to constantly clear them during practice. However, usually at the beginning of practice, there is always a meridian connecting the outside world and the Dantian, and people call this meridian the "Star Road."
The eldest grandson tried hard to draw the spiritual energy into his body and follow the star path into his dantian, but in the end, less than half of the spiritual energy gathered in his dantian. The eldest grandson found that after these spiritual energy entered his body, he was like a playful child. No matter how hard the eldest grandson tried, Control will always have more than half of the spiritual energy dissipating into the body from Xingtu. But the eldest grandson was not annoyed.
Changsun learned from the book that warriors are divided into practitioners, magicians, charioteers, saints, mortals, and venerables. People have such a saying to describe the state of a practitioner, "Practice for thousands of miles, and finally become a practitioner." Being a practitioner is a process of continuous accumulation, which is why there is such a saying, when the spiritual energy in the Dantian reaches saturation for the first time, the quantity The huge spiritual energy will overflow from the inside of the Dantian to the outside in a violent form, dredging the meridians and tempering the muscles and bones in this way, so the tempering process is also extremely painful, which is why people say it is a thousand miles of asceticism.
This process must be repeated three times before the practice is complete.
After the practitioner's realm is completed, the blocked meridians can be cleared, and the true energy can be separated from the body. Only then can one practice various magical powers and enter the magician's realm. At this time, the warrior's magical power can be slightly revealed.
In Zhangsun's view, walking is the process of building a foundation. Although most of the spiritual energy that enters the body is dissipated in the body each time, and only a small amount enters the Dantian, Zhangsun can feel that the spiritual energy does not dissipate from the body, but is only absorbed by the body. Or hidden somewhere.
Even though the eldest grandson has been a human being for two generations, it is still difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart. Although this is just the beginning, at least the eldest grandson sees hope.
After sorting out his mood, Changsun knew that he could not let others know that he was able to practice now, especially Mrs. Hua. With her character, if she had known about it, she would have strangled her eldest grandson in the cradle.
The eldest grandson woke up from trance. More than a month of practice has benefited the eldest grandson a lot. Although he just repeats the same process every day, the eldest grandson can clearly feel the changes in his body. Nowadays, only one-third of the spiritual energy in the Dantian has been gathered, but the changes in the body are obvious. Changsun can feel every tissue in the body. Every cell is like land that has been dry for many years. The spiritual energy hidden in the body is like a sweet spring. Normally nourishing the body, coupled with the eldest grandson's continuous exercise every day, the eldest grandson is no longer a rich young man with no strength.
Back in the room, Chu Li had prepared the meal. After breakfast, the eldest grandson began to read the unofficial miscellaneous notes taken from the Sutra Pavilion. Although these books are not cultivation books, they can help the eldest grandson understand the world. The eldest grandson can pass These records provide a sideways understanding of how power is used in the world.
At noon, the eldest grandson put down the book in his hand. Seeing that it was getting late, he packed up, picked up the birdcage beside the table and left the room, leaving the house on time.
The eldest grandson was walking on the busy street, holding a birdcage in his hand, looking at the stalls on the street from time to time, followed by two servants, making him look like a boy from a rich family.
After a while, Changsun arrived at the Hongxiu Pavilion. A horizontal plaque with the words "Hongxiu Pavilion" written in gold on a red background was hung high in the middle. There were two vermilion-dyed pillars on both sides, a high threshold, and two people watching the door intently. Servant, at first glance, it doesn't feel like a dusty place, but when you walk inside, you will see a different scene.
The spacious hall was full of guests, including rough and bold mercenaries and gentle and elegant young men from rich families. People were talking quietly everywhere, but no one dared to make a loud noise here. Several dancers on the high platform danced in response to the sound, and several women beside them played the piano and played music. Their looks were rare in the world. There are also private rooms opposite the stands for guests who prefer quiet time to enjoy the performance.
The eldest grandson did not enter the private room, but found a quiet corner to sit down and ordered a pot of tea and several plates of snacks.
The eldest grandson did not bring the two servants in, but stayed at the door. He knew that these two servants were Mrs. Hua's spies. Scattering the two back to the house would definitely make Mrs. Hua suspicious. Keeping the two servants by his side would make Mrs. Hua suspicious. It will reveal the truth, but this is the best.
Changsun watched the performance on the high platform, but listened to the discussions of the people around him. In the past three months, Changsun naturally had his own plans in choosing to come to Hongxiu Pavilion. Such a dusty place is naturally a gathering place for people from all walks of life. First of all, this is also where all kinds of intelligence gather.
Changsun learns about the world from miscellaneous journals every day, but it is too old. Listening to people's discussions like this is the latest information that people are most concerned about.
The eldest grandson has also gained something in the past three months. The family affairs of the eldest grandson's family, the ruler of the city, are naturally the focus of discussion.
One of these times, Changsun accidentally heard the truth about his parents' mission from a drunk mercenary at the table.
When Changsun was five years old, the seal of the Prison of Beginning of Rebellion fluctuated. A team of Skywalkers immediately went to investigate the situation. Unexpectedly, the entire team disappeared. Only the leader of the team returned injured. This person was deputy leader Nangong Ao, who returned seriously injured. Nangong Ao said that they encountered an emergency and the life or death of the entire team was uncertain. He was the only one who escaped from death. After saying this, he fell unconscious. At that time, Changsun Wentian was visiting friends. There were only Changsun's parents in the house. Even if he led another team of people to search for the missing person, there would be no news again.
This drunken mercenary was once a member of the Skywalker. It is said that this person took him back to the Changsun Mansion when Nangong Ao escaped. However, he was later abandoned by the corps for unknown reasons. It was for this reason that what he said It was never believed by people and was always thought to be a grudge against Skywalker.
But the eldest grandson believed what this person said, because his parents told him before they left that they were going to rescue the missing people. But for some reason, when the eldest grandson came back, he was told that there was something strange happening in Shiluan Prison. , Changsun's parents led the troops to investigate the situation without authorization, but they did not want an accident to happen and their whereabouts were unknown.
Only then did the mercenary's drunken words make Zhang Sun realize that perhaps the Nangong family had been planning what happened since then.
The eldest grandson watched the performance on the stage, thinking about the information he heard. At this moment, an unexpected guest came to the table. The eldest grandson looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as him, wearing a plain white dress. , does not appear monotonous, but makes her look more dazzling in this hall, as if a white lotus emerges from the mud without being stained, her black hair is naturally scattered, and a circle of pink garland on her forehead just adds a girlish touch to her quietness. Playful.
This girl is the piano girl of Hongxiu Pavilion, named Siqin. She is young but extremely talented and attracts attention. The girl was accompanied by a gorgeously dressed woman.
Seeing that the two men were coming towards him, the eldest grandson stood up quickly and bowed slightly to show courtesy.
Si Qin looked at the handsome, scholar-like young man in front of him. This man was the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family. Judging from the decent manners of this person, it seems that he has been educated at home and is not as useless as people say.
After Siqin took his seat, the eldest grandson sat down and said, "I wonder why Miss Siqin came here?"
"My little girl came here rashly to disturb the young master's elegance. Let me first make amends to the young master." After saying this, Siqin stood up.
Seeing Siqin about to get up, the eldest grandson stood up quickly and said, "Miss Siqin is serious. It is a great honor for Xiaosheng that Miss Siqin can come and talk to Xiaosheng in person."
"My daughter came here this time to express her gratitude for the young master's advice on changing sister Yuqi's clothes last time," Siqin said.
The eldest grandson looked at the woman dancing on the stage. It was the Yuqi that Si Qin mentioned. Yuqi was the dancer from the Hongxiu Pavilion. A few days ago, the eldest grandson had a whim and drew a picture of Yuqi dancing while watching the dance. I just made some changes to my clothes and left them on the table when I left. Unexpectedly, they were not treated as waste paper. Instead, they were seen by Yuqi. Today, Yuqi is wearing clothes designed by Changsun, which is not as good as usual. Generally solemn, but more youthful, and more flexible when dancing, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world.
"I'm just doodling casually, but I don't want to be noticed by Miss Yuqi. I'm very satisfied with this. Not to mention that Miss Siqin personally thanked me. I'm flattered," said the eldest grandson.
"Now that I've thanked you, I won't bother you here anymore. You can do what you want." After saying that, Si Qin stood up and bowed to his eldest grandson, then left. The eldest grandson stood up and returned the salute and watched Siqin leave.
When Si Qin and the woman beside him returned to the back room, Si Qin turned around and asked, "What does Aunt Fang think of this person?"
"My behavior is decent, my attitude is gentle, my words are humble, but I don't mean to be humble. I am young but not arrogant. I am neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor humble nor arrogant. I am very good." The woman called Aunt Fang said. .
"Aunt Fang rarely praises people like this." Si Qin said after hearing Aunt Fang's evaluation of her eldest grandson.
"It's a pity that I'm not born with enough talent to practice." Aunt Fang sighed.
"In this world, if you want to become talented, you don't have to just practice cultivation. I see that he is quite talented, and there is no guarantee that he will not be a figure in the future." Siqin disagreed with Aunt Fang's words.
"Alas, the Changsun Mansion is in chaos now. Even if the eldest grandson is talented, it will be difficult to protect himself when the eldest grandson Wentian passes away." Aunt Fang obviously knew the situation of all the forces in the city very well and said.
Si Qin was silent after hearing this. It was obvious that outsiders like them were not allowed to interfere in other people's family affairs. According to what Aunt Fang said, the eldest grandson might be in trouble in the future.
