Chapter 19 When Will You Become Enlightened?
Early the next morning, Xiang Jinlai and Yuan Zhou went out, Yang Ziguang explained that they were still near the holy land of Ancheng, and they should not go far, and the two of them nodded and agreed and walked out directly.
They came to a rocky beach with no traces, except for the sound of the sea breeze, it is rare to be calm here, Xiang Jin Lai meditated cross-legged according to the gourd painting scoop, running the method, more than half an hour is still like yesterday, without the slightest induction, Yuan Zhou looked at the operation of the method to Jinlai, there is nothing wrong, the exercise is the same as the ancestor of the south, the operation of the method is similar, she was like this back then, but she was unusually smooth, and she could sense the force in a moment, so as to become enlightened!
"Alas, could it be that there is no Force here at all, or is it a more mixed and weak Force like the Cloud Sea Country, and it is very thin?"
"The ancestor also said that there should be something here!"
"Why?"
"He didn't say anything specifically, he only said that Nanli Shizu seemed to have broken through the Holy Enlightenment here, but later the ancestor said that the monk had no force here, just like a mortal, and many monks who came with Shizu back then also said so, so he never came!"
"Is there such a thing? This is strange, I see that you have become mortals here, and I don't understand what the predecessor of Boya means when he says that the blessing here?"
"Let's try again in a higher place!"
Xiang Jin came to sound reasonable, so they found a holy place on the outskirts of the city, still facing the sea, and when they reached the top of the mountain, there happened to be an empty clearing, and then they looked at the sea, as if at their feet, they were in a good mood, and after taking a big breath of air, and relaxing, he sat down again, and so on for a whole hour.
Xiang Jinlai frowned, found nothing, his eyes opened, and he couldn't help but be very discouraged.
"Try again, don't be discouraged!" Yuan Zhou persuaded!
"Okay!" Xiang Jin didn't plan to change places, just once, twice, after noon, he didn't have the heart to eat, and then crossed his knees and let his thoughts dominate......
In the near evening, there was still no sense, Xiang Jin Lai was in a bad mood at this time, could it be that his only hope would eventually come to naught?
"What are you doing?" Several people walked behind him, led by a blonde girl, about twenty years old, fair-skinned, tall, wearing a light blue dress, unusually beautiful, a few points stronger than Moana.
"It's nothing, my friend is meditating!" Yuan Zhou said.
"Hey, how can you speak the subject?" Yuan Zhou was surprised, because when he came to the island, the people here spoke the local indigenous language, and suddenly a beautiful girl appeared, and she could also speak the subject, how not to be surprised.
"My teacher taught me!"
"Teacher, are we from the mainland?"
"Yes, she calls herself a native of Yuemi!"
"Huh?" Xiang Jin was also surprised!
"Are you practicing?"
"Huh?" This time, Xiang Jinlai and Yuan Zhou were both taken aback at the same time.
"How do you know about cultivation?" asked Yuan Zhou.
"I saw that the teacher was like this all the time, and once I was really curious, so I asked her what she was doing, and she told me that she said that it was a practice, and I didn't know what a practice was, so she said that it was similar to your fighting technique, but I didn't understand why the fighting technique was practiced while sitting, but then I didn't ask again. ”
"I see, what do you call it?"
"My name is Natasha!"
"Are you Princess Natasha of the Hundred Flowers Country?" They were even more surprised, first, her identity, and secondly, the teacher taught the princess, so she must not be a simple person, could she have any experience in practicing here. The two of them actually thought of it together.
"Hello Princess Natasha, forgive us for taking the liberty of introducing your teacher to us, my friend is also from Yuemi!"
"This won't work, she's out of the house!"
"Far away?"
She said to go to the cloud forest in the southwest of the Hundred Flowers Country! She often traveled far and wide, and she said that she wanted to go all over the Hundred Flowers Country. ”
"What is the Cloud Forest?" asked Jin Lai. An idea struck him.
"It's far from here, and it takes more than ten days to get there on horseback. There are clouds and mist all year round, and there is no sunlight in the depths, all of them are blocked by tall trees, all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts run all over the forest, which is very dangerous, and the cloud forest is as vast as the sea, and almost no one dares to go!"
"Thank you, princess, for daring to ask your teacher's name!"
"She didn't tell me, and when I asked her, she just said you call me teacher. She is a very good person and has taught me a lot of things, and I also learned a lot of things in the inland from her, and it turns out that there is a paradise in the world, and I yearn for it. Later, I learned the subject, and I can basically understand the words, and I spent a lot of money to buy a lot of books.
"Of course, his name is Xiang Jinlai, and my name is Yuan Zhou. We can be friends!"
Yuan Zhou has always spoken and acted like this, and he never knows what it is to see outside, which makes Xiang Jinlai like it very much, seeing her is like seeing a small curtain!
"Great! I often come here to relax, you have found the right place, I think this is the most beautiful place in the country of flowers, from here you can look down, you can see all the beauty of the holy land of Anseong!"
Xiang Jin came mainly to comprehend, and really didn't pay attention to the surrounding beauty, at this time, he looked around, and sure enough, the beautiful scenery was unobstructed.
Natasha's entourage brought some snacks and arranged them, and took a few pots of fruit wine, and the three of them chatted at this height, they were all young people of similar age, and soon they were no longer restrained, Yuan Zhou was originally a princess of a big country, and he would not be restrained, Xiang Jin Lai had a rich experience this year, and he also came into contact with a lot of "powerful and celebrities", and he was also well-informed, and the exchange topics were varied, even the "Sea Dragon King" and "Sea Monster Canglong" on the sea also told Natasha one by one, she was dumbfounded, she was a princess, she had never been to the depths of the sea at all, at this time it sounded scared, but more yearning!
Before I knew it, it was dark, although they were all unfinished, but Natasha was a princess after all, and the princes and nobles had more rules, so they couldn't go back too late, so they had to say goodbye to Yuan Zhou and Xiang Jinlai, and told them where they lived, and Natasha gave them a palace pass token, and said goodbye to Xiang Jinlai.
After going back, it was already very late, Xiang Jinlai and Yuan Zhou didn't talk much anymore, they went back to their rooms to rest, Xiang Jinlai stubbornly came up again, and tried to feel it twice, but it ended in failure!
At night, he actually dreamed that he was still not able to practice, the little master's eyes were stern, and a beautiful woman glared at him, and he was actually frightened to wake up.
When he looked at the sky, it was still not bright, thinking that everyone had not woken up, and he himself tried again, and sure enough, it still failed.
When everyone woke up, they saw Xiang Jinlai's haggard appearance, and they didn't know how to persuade him.
"Maybe you can walk around! Sometimes cultivators also cultivate a state of mind, the Force needs to perceive, and the state of mind also needs to!" It was Yuan Chu who spoke, and he had not been out of the room since he came back last night, so everyone didn't know.
"Old Ancestor, where are you going to let him go?"
"Anywhere!"
"I'm going to the Cloud Forest!" Xiang Jin said firmly!
"Cloud Forest?" Yuan Chu was puzzled!
Yuan Zhou explained the Cloud Forest to Yuan Chu, and also talked about Princess Natasha and her teacher.
Yuan Chu's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something!
"I'll go with you!"
Xiang Jinlai didn't expect Yuan Chu to say this, he was willing.
"I'll go too!" Yuan Zhou said immediately.
"It's okay, I don't feel at ease if you're alone!" said Yuan Chu lovingly.
"Yuan Ancestor, isn't this too risky? The Cloud Forest is very big inside, people here say that it is as vast as the sea, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts, you have to think twice!"
"I can't wait, I'm going to be seventeen soon! Natasha's teacher must have some experience, maybe he can still sense the force here, this is probably the only chance. Xiang Jin came to the decisive road, it turned out that they had sailed on the sea for nearly seven months, and now it was about to enter winter, but it was like spring all year round, and it was unconsciously cold.
"Don't worry, although my Force can't be mobilized, it's not something that some poisonous insects and beasts can hurt, I'll be optimistic about him!" Yuan Chu didn't do this to comfort them, he really liked this sensible child all the way, and seeing that he and Yuan Zhou were already friends, he would naturally take care of it, and the most important thing was that the person and answer he was looking for might be in the Cloud Forest!
Yang Ziguang and the others saw their resolute appearance, and no longer dissuaded, first, he understood Xiang Jinlai, and he would not be willing to let him go, and secondly, he had Yuan Chu to go together, so he really didn't have to worry too much, the original ancestor's physical strength was stronger than him, a cultivator of the Second Realm.
Since Xiang Jinlai has decided, he will not hesitate at the moment, he will set off after packing his luggage, and Yuan Chu will not drag mud and water.
"You need a map, the extreme west is huge, and the country of flowers alone is thousands of miles!
"I'll go to Natasha and ask for one, she must have a way!" Yuan Zhou said.
Everyone felt reasonable, so they broke up in this inn, Yang Ziguang They had some instructions to Xiang Jin, and they had a deep friendship along the way, and they had another task here to stay for a long time, so let them come back and gather here, and told them that this inn was the stronghold of the Luoshan Sect here, and Xiang Jin came to the ground.
After bidding farewell to them, Yuan Zhou and Xiang Jin went to the princess's residence, King John and his concubines and children all lived in the palace, but it was easy to find, showed the token and let them go, their own guards took them there, walked into the palace, at a glance, the palace and the main buildings are built with white stone as the main material, the road surface is smooth and heavy, the street is wide and neat, and it is very magnificent.
After a while, they had arrived at Natasha's residence, and although the princess's mansion was not as gorgeous as the prince's, it was also noble and elegant.
"It turned out to be you, and I'm glad you came to see me. Natasha actually went out to greet her.
"We have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I hope the princess doesn't mind!"
"Didn't you say it's called Natasha?"
"Natasha!"
Natasha was very happy with Yuan Zhou's words and deeds! Xiang Jin did not have Yuan Zhou's free and easy.
A few people chatted in the princess's palace for a while, and Yuan Zhou went straight to the point.
"Are you really going to go, it's extremely dangerous, and I can't rush to ask the guards to escort you!" Natasha said worriedly.
"Don't worry, princess, we still have a helper, he has a very high martial arts!" Xiang Jin came to find a reason to reassure her.
"Okay, the map is not difficult, you guys wait!"
She explained something to a servant, and in a moment the servant was out!
"If you still need anything, just say it!
"We've got everything else ready, and we'll be ready to go when we have the map, but we'll definitely come to you when we get back, and we'll have a drink and talk about the world when the time comes!" said Yuan Zhou with a smile.
"That's the best, last time you talked about the inland customs and customs too little, I want to know more, and your story!"
After a while, the servant returned, and the map was also brought back, and the two of them were greatly rejoiced, and Natasha also helped them to mark the subject text in important places. After a while, he said goodbye to Natasha.
Yuan Chu was already waiting for them at the gate of the holy land of Annan, and when he saw them come out, he also took the map, and he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately set off.
There were three of them and three horses, the horse was prepared by Yang Ziguang for them, and the luggage was placed on the side of the horse, and the horse was driven away without hurry all the way......
"Yuan Zu, looking at the map, there should be the Grand Canyon in front of you! It's getting late now, why don't we go again tomorrow?" It was Xiang Jinlai who spoke, it turned out that the three of them had been running non-stop for five days, and the scenery was very beautiful on the way, but they were also wandering, except for eating and sleeping, they never stayed, looking at Yuan Chu's face, it seemed that he was a little more eager than Xiang Jinlai.
"It's okay, the locals call it a glimmer of heaven here, and it's really inappropriate to ride a horse at night!"
The reason why it is called the Grand Canyon is that the cliffs on both sides of the road are high and steep, and the walls stand thousands of miles, holding a line of blue sky, the rocks are red like fire, and being in it is like a fairyland.
Now the sky can still see one or two clearly, but there is no end in sight, and the road is not wide, the rivers on both sides are turbulent, and it is more secure to walk during the day.
The caves on both sides are common, so they found a spacious fire and settled down, Yuan Zhou said that he saw some turkeys during the day and wanted to eat, so Xiang Jinlai had to go with her to catch them, Yuan Chu was noncommittal.
The turkey is more than twice the size of the domestic chickens in the interior, and the throat and paws of the feet are red and easily recognizable. There are a lot of wild turkeys here, and after a while, he was caught by Xiang Jinlai, he has practiced some fists and kicks and body techniques, Yuan Zhou saw that he caught the turkey with agility, but it was also remarkable.
"It's so fragrant!come, drink!" Yuan Zhou was intoxicated by the taste of roast turkey, and unconsciously drank a pot of wine, but Yuan Chu was eating and drinking meat and wine in small amounts, which made Xiang Jinlai feel surprised for a while, seeing that others were tall and powerful, and they always ate so little.
"Jin Lai, after eating, you can try here to see if you can sense the Force, and I will also observe your mind guidance method!" Yuan Chu suddenly spoke.
"Then thank you Ancestor!" he said as he quickly finished eating.
Xiang Jinlai walked outside the cave, sat down cross-legged, began to guide his thoughts, and quietly comprehended, after more than an hour, he found nothing, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged!
"Don't worry, try again, there is no problem with your method!"
"Yes, don't be discouraged!" Yuan Zhou also helped cheer up.
Xiang Jinlai closed his eyes again and relaxed...
Failed again...
"It's okay, let's stop here today! Yuan Chu seems to have expected it.
Yuan Zhou and Xiang Jinlai both fell asleep, but Yuan Chu closed his eyes cross-legged, and he didn't know if he was asleep?
