Water Mountain Jian, hexagram 39 of the sixty-four.
From Xiagen to Shangkan, the mountains are high and the water is deep, and dangers lie ahead.
It is beneficial to the southwest and detrimental to the northeast. Benefit to meet the adults, chastity and auspiciousness.
…
After the rain, the sky cleared, and the long-lost sunshine shone on the Dongcang Sea, creating sparkling waves.
A white sail flew away in the wind, shattering the ripples on the sea, as if a sea of gold had been scattered.
I remember riding the river in late autumn, but now I am riding on the waves in warm spring.
When I came, the moon shadow filled the river with stars; when I left, the red sun filled the sea and gold.
A group of Dongcang officials and scholars who had been instructed in advance to remain silent stood on a high platform some distance away from the port, watching as Ye Baifan finally disappeared from sight.
"The lonely sail is far away and the shadow is gone in the blue sky..." Master Qin sighed, "Well, the Marquis is not in Dongcang, so I will work harder. When the Marquis returns from his apprenticeship, he will see a more prosperous Dongcang City. .”
After saying that, he sighed again: "I finally left..."
As soon as Master Qin finished speaking, someone immediately nodded in agreement: "In the past two days, inexplicable misfortune has happened in Dongcang City. Either this house collapsed, or that mansion caught fire for no reason...it was a mess."
"Yes, the Marquis is imaginative, but people's livelihood matters still need to be done step by step, and be steady and steady. Go back quickly and complete all the measures that the Marquis has thought of. That is the right way!"
"Then don't stand around and get back to work quickly."
"Exactly, exactly!"
In the blink of an eye, all the officials in the square disappeared, and the great scholars who had originally planned to gather together for another cultural meeting looked at each other in shock.
"Leave now?"
"I still have a poem I haven't read yet!"
"Speaking of which, there are still some trivial matters in Wutang. I will take my leave now."
"Well... the martial arts academy also has things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, didn't you agree on a good excuse to see me off and have a day off? Why are you so untrustworthy? That's all, I'm back to the Ministry of Commerce. If I don't lower the lowest price of those caravans today, I will end my career! "
"Strange, why do I feel like I'm still enjoying being a human being?"
"Let's go, let's go back to work!"
…
The east sky is far away, and my eyes are falling on the small boat.
It is said to be a small boat, but it is actually a small two-story boat. At this time, the sea breeze is blowing on your face, and you can see the endless blue sea in front of you. There are fish jumping out of the sea, and seabirds are flying and singing in the sky, which is really refreshing.
On the small boat at this time, Chen Luo and Yun Siyao were sitting on the deck playing chess, with the mastiff Lingling holding tea and waiting on the side; on the other side, a green lotus was telling the past life events with a green frog, and they were also waiting for each other. Knowing that some of the passages were mine and some of them were Li Qinglian's, I was very excited when I heard the croaking of pumpkins. From time to time, I poured a pot of fairy wine on Qinglian, which I thought was a toast.
The purpose is to use the destiny of the human race to eliminate the punishment of bad luck in the heaven, so the first stop after leaving Dongcang naturally falls in Leyacheng, the hub of the north. Today's Canngle shipping line is very busy. Chen Luo was worried about causing more trouble, so he did not use the Jinfan Guard. Instead, he mixed it among a group of ships and used it as a small merchant ship.
"Junior brother, I won again." Yun Siyao dropped a piece, and in an instant, the pieces in three directions on the chessboard connected into three pieces.
Chen Luo scratched his head. Playing backgammon with Sixth Senior Sister was indeed a wrong choice. There was no gaming experience at all.
"By the way, senior sister, have you heard of Hongmeng Qi?" Chen Luo strategically changed the subject.
Yun Siyao's big beautiful eyes blinked: "Why do you ask that?"
Chen Luo began to clean up the chessboard in sequence.
As long as I clean up quickly, the game just now never happened.
"Oh, to write the three books of 'Demons and Ghosts', 'Buddhas and Demons', and 'Immortals', you need Hongmeng Qi." Chen Luo explained in his mouth without stopping his hands.
Yun Siyao didn't seem to see Chen Luo's movements, and he was thoughtful. After a moment, he nodded: "It makes sense. Before, you wrote the book of mortals, martial arts, and the rules of heaven's evolution. It's not difficult to find treasures." But the three books to open the Tianmen do require Hongmeng Qi.”
As she said that, she looked at Chen Luo, "You have seen the Qi of Hongmeng, it's the giant elephant outside Taiping City!"
"The origin of heaven?" Chen Luo was shocked.
Is there any mistake? It was summoned by Ta Gu after forcing Taiping City to offer sacrifices. Where could I go to get it?
Hmm... speaking of it, Bixi, Chiqiu, and Yaizhen seem to be heavenly beasts that condense the origin of heavenly law!
No, no, the little mythical beasts are so cute, how can they make soup?
Seeing Chen Luo's ugly face, Yun Siyao knew that he had gone astray and chuckled: "Hongmeng Qi is not uncommon."
"Take the human race as an example. Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism use elegant literature as a medium, use classics to explore the way of heaven, and gather great power into themselves. What do you think is the essence of this?"
Chen Luo frowned and asked: "Hongmeng Qi?"
"The so-called truths are all kinds of strange. Confucianism has Confucianism, Taoism has its evolution, and Buddhism naturally has Buddhist research. Just talk about Confucianism, there are thousands of ways to say the same truth. In fact, right and wrong, then It’s all determined by people. There has been debate for thousands of years about whether nature is inherently good or nature is inherently evil, but this does not prevent both of them from becoming saints!”
"Look at the Fang family, doesn't their family's principles also support many semi-saints?"
"So in essence, it is nothing more than the ability to use one's own principles to appreciate a grand purple energy, which is hidden in the Confucian heart, and then evolves the power of their own principles."
"Everyone who practices the Heavenly Way contains the Qi of Hongmeng. It's just a matter of quantity and pure quality."
Chen Luo had a strange look on his face: "Senior sister, could it be that he killed someone to steal his energy?"
Yun Siyao shook his head: "With your martial arts skills, why do you think of killing whenever you think about it?"
"Do you still remember how the Great Confucian Wenbao came about?"
Chen Luo nodded: "The great Confucian gave birth to his own culture... huh? The great Confucian's cultural treasure!"
Chen Luo suddenly thought that the Confucian Wenbao also contained different truths, so the power displayed was also very different. Could it be related to the Qi of Hongmeng?
Yun Siyao said: "All truth treasures, whether they are cultural treasures, Taoist treasures or Buddhist treasures, are conceived by the master after he separates a trace of Hongmeng Qi and injects it into them."
"So, it is natural to extract Hongmeng Qi from these treasures." Yun Siyao said with a smile, "However, it is very expensive."
Chen Luo's face turned completely dark.
There are many treasures in his storage order, but most of them are spiritual materials. When it comes to great Confucian treasures, there are really only a few. After all, it is not easy to forge treasures of this level, and they are treasured by all the great scholars. Even if he dies, he will leave it to his family or disciples. Very few of them are actually spread outside. Not to mention buying it, it means this thing has a price but no market.
This is true for the Confucian sect with the most practitioners in the world, let alone the Taoist sect which is not short of money.
Besides, listening to Yun Siyao's introduction, it doesn't take much to think about it. Once the Hongmeng Qi is extracted, the treasure will be useless.
It always feels like dismantling a Gundam and selling it for scrap!
It feels more and more exciting!
"As for the demon clan, it's a bit simpler. The blood naturally contains the Qi of Hongmeng. The deeper the practice, the purer the Qi of Hongmeng." Yun Siyao thought for a while and added.
Chen Luo's eyes stayed on the mastiff Lingling for a moment and then moved away.
"It's hard to handle!"
Mastiff Lingling quickly filled Chen Luo with tea and echoed: "Yes, it's hard to handle! This is really hard to handle!"
"Wait a minute!" Yun Siyao suddenly paused, then waved his hand, and several objects appeared on the chessboard.
Chen Luo looked closely and saw a bald pen, an inkstone with a corner broken, and a paper fan with a broken bone.
"These are the cultural treasures I captured before. Although the cultural treasures were destroyed by me, I only removed the above principles. The spirit of Hongmeng is still there. If you can practice pregnancy and nourishment again, you can hope to return to the rank of a great Confucian cultural treasure. "
"It's useless for me to keep it with me. Junior brother, let's try to refine some Hongmeng Qi first!"
Chen Luo suddenly looked at Yun Siyao with emotion.
No matter how useless it is, it can be melted into her own cultural treasure, so it's not as useless as she said.
All I can say is, dear senior sister!
"Hurry up and try it!" Yun Siyao urged with a smile, "As for these useless treasures, Second Senior Sister still has a lot of them. Go back to the bamboo forest and ask her for some more."
"There is a big difference between three thousand miles and six thousand miles. Let's get a story out first and see how it is different from the previous books!"
With that said, Yun Siyao cast a flash of spiritual light, and the method of extracting the Qi of Hongmeng fell into Chen Luo's soul. Chen Luo was not polite, grinned at Yun Siyao, put away the three useless treasures, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
…
Entering the cabin, although the three treasures were useless, Chen Luo still sensed a source of spirituality in each of the three useless treasures according to the technique from Yun Siyao. He immediately used the red dust energy to use it, intending to destroy it. The three waste treasures were completely destroyed and three Hongmeng Qi were refined, but something unexpected happened.
When he saw a streak of black and yellow energy rising from the bald brush, Chen Luo's heart ached. The true meaning of the Seven Injury Fist came back, and the red dust energy in Chen Luo's hand suddenly deviated a little.
"Bang!" The black and yellow energy dissipated instantly, and the brush turned into coke.
"This..." Chen Luo's face was gloomy. The refining method was engraved into his soul. Why was it not a 100% success rate?
Heaven, you secretly change!
He breathed a sigh of relief and wasn't nervous. It's normal to not be proficient the first time. Try it again.
As he said that, Chen Luo worked on the broken-cornered inkstone in the same way. At the end of the month, with a stick of incense, the black and yellow energy was about to escape, and it was almost done.
Liver hurts!
I will endure!
Lungs hurt!
I won't tolerate it any longer.
The spirit is in a trance!
"boom!"
The inkstone is still the same square inkstone. You can't tell whether it's burnt or not. It seems to be a little brittle.
Chen Luo suddenly felt distressed. At this time, it had nothing to do with the true meaning of the Seven Injury Fist. He was just looking at the charred brush and inkstone, feeling distressed and panicking!
But the refining method clearly states that this kind of extraction cannot be borrowed from others and can only be done by oneself.
If it were any other time, Chen Luo would definitely let it go first. But it’s useless right now.
This bad luck will last for a year!
Chen Luo thought for a while and suddenly shouted: "Guagua, come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of green light flew in and landed on Chen Luo's shoulder: "Hey! (What are you doing!)"
"Add buff!"
Chen Luo immediately hit the third waste treasure. Perhaps because he had become more proficient in the previous two times, the refining speed was actually a third faster.
"Okay, it's the last step again." Chen Luo concentrated, and the pain in his internal organs hit him. Chen Luo gritted his teeth and stopped. At this time, the feeling of trance appeared again!
This... is impossible to guard against!
At this time, Jin Guagua felt bored, yawned, pouted his mouth, and blew the whistle that Lang Feixian had just taught him. It was squatting on Chen Luo's shoulder, and the whistle was almost blowing into Chen Luo's ears, instantly waking Chen Luo out of his trance.
"It works!" Chen Luo was overjoyed. He quickly focused his attention and quickly completed the refined spell. A wisp of black and yellow gas floated in front of Chen Luo.
Chen Luo immediately radiated the power of his soul, wrapped up this Hongmeng energy, and brought it into his soul sea. Then he took Jin Guagua from his shoulder and kissed it hard.
"Quack! (Shut up!)"
"Hey... (I am not clean anymore!)"
Chen Luocai ignored Jin Guagua's complaints and immediately closed his eyes and entered the dreamland of flowers.
Six Thousand Miles of Flower Forest, here I come.
