The night sky is clear, the purple bamboo is bleak, and the wind whistle falls. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info[Ran^Wen^Library][]. [774] [buy]. [ ] (Book House (7764))
The moon-white robe, in the sound of the long flute, danced continuously, slender fingers like jade, on the flute hole, Gong Ling danced tactfully.
A long song of mourning, under the moonlight, Yingying pool water, reflecting his cold and handsome face, with the night breeze elegantly emanated, dancing in the flute, the bright moon fell into a pair of ice eyes, like two stars, phosphorescent flashing, eyebrows picturesque, beautiful and abnormal.
The slender figure, sitting in front of the pond stream, seems to be eternal.
"Alas, seventeen years." With a long sigh, the crisp and quiet flute sound stopped abruptly, it seemed that even the wind stopped with the flute sound, Lin Ning reflected the clear pool in front of him, but there were a lot of resentments.
Today is his mother's death and the seventeenth year he has been in the palace.
He stroked the emerald jade flute with his hand, and memories flooded back like a sea.
Seventeen years ago, his mother was accepted as a concubine by Lin Feng, the ninth prince of the dynasty, and soon after giving birth to him, due to a serious illness, he only had time to leave a jade flute as a relic to him, and died in a hurry.
His father is the ninth prince of the dynasty, although he seems decent, but in fact he is humble. Just because his mother is a concubine, not a main house, he is just an illegitimate child that Lin Feng doesn't want to admit.
Over the years, Lin Feng had never looked at himself once, and Lin Ning knew that it was not just a matter of his mother being a concubine.
In the world of the Great Jin Dynasty, warriors are all over the world, and even the royal family of the current dynasty is respected by martial arts, followed by books, naturally, Prince Jingxian, who is one of the princes of the Nine Tripods of the Great Jin Dynasty, is the same.
Moreover, Lin Feng's ancestors were the founding generals who had made great contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty, and Lin Tian, who was canonized as a mighty tiger general by the emperor, as the descendants of such generals, advocated force and thirsted for force.
On the contrary, Lin Ning has been weak since he was a child, his meridians are fragile, and he can't stand any martial arts tempering, Lin Feng, who knows this, gave up the idea of cultivating Lin Ning.
Fortunately at first, Lin Feng remembered his mother and felt guilty, how much it was appropriate for father and son, and he could do his best, but with the birth of the other two children, he completely snubbed Lin Ning.
Lin Qian and Lin Yuan, who were praised by their peers as a century-old martial arts genius, have been gifted since they were children, and they are basically self-taught about martial arts.
Royal martial arts is a peerless martial art passed down by the previous emperors for generations, unless the orthodox royal bloodline can be learned, the rest of the people will kill their heads even if they just take a peek.
Lin Ning is just a concubine, how can he be compared with Lin Qianlin Yuan and other descendants. Therefore, under all circumstances, his life in King Jingxian's mansion was not easy.
The longing for his mother and the long-term squeeze have made his temperament more and more withdrawn and cold, and there is no one in the palace except for the maid Xuan'er who follows him closer.
This purple bamboo forest was his mother's favorite place during her lifetime, and after Lin Qianlin was born, he knew that it was difficult to find a place in the palace, so he moved to the purple bamboo forest in the backyard of the palace alone.
It's quiet and quiet, isolating the hustle and bustle of the city, which is also what he wants.
He doesn't like martial arts, but loves the five outlines of the Taoist scriptures, and he can't let go of the strange things about the immortals in it, especially the things about the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth and the desolation of the universe, which makes him want to stop.
"Immortals, if you want to live forever, or ask the way of heaven, or seek the vastness, you are thoughtless, take the great shun of heaven and earth as the seal, proudly do not hold it, and turn the flood into a reward." In the flow of thoughts, he closed his eyes and slowly recited with the artistic conception.
"Heaven and earth are chaotic like chickens, Pangu was born in them, thousands of eight years old, heaven and earth are opened, the yang is clear for the sky, and the yin is the earth......" With another silver bell-like crisp female voice.
I saw a seventeen-year-old, green-shirted girl with her hands behind her back, walking over, her beautiful and fair face, although there are a few faint freckles, but even more cute, Danfeng, such as the rhyme of the apricot kernel, but under a closer look, there is a playful place, a head of black hair like lacquer, straight waterfall on the waist, like the fine willow in the wind, straight to see the heart of the yearning.
The girl came over and pouted: "Childe, don't memorize it, you have memorized these words more than a thousand times, and even Xuan'er has memorized them in your heart." ”
"Ahem." Lin Ning saw her with her hands around her chest, coughed dryly twice, and then stopped talking.
When Xuan'er saw the person in front of her, her white clothes were fluttering, and her posture was heroic, especially the bright eyebrows and bright teeth, and her skin was as white as jade, she couldn't help but sigh a little, where does this look like a handsome man, but like a daughter's family. Moreover, she vaguely remembered that since Lin Ning moved to this purple bamboo forest, for four years, her appearance has basically not changed, and even she is a little jealous, how can a boy protect his face so well? It's really unreasonable.
Seeing that his expression was a little sad, in order to relieve his sorrow, Xuan'er raised her chin and said confidently: "Childe, when those kings and grandsons of the family practiced martial arts today, I secretly practiced two tricks, and you watched." ”
As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, pressed down with both horses, bowed down and held her chest, her right foot poked out first, her two fists were held at her waist, Shen Yun was stable, and she swung out a punch, not much force, but it was also decent.
Seeing this, Lin Ning held his forehead and sighed helplessly, this Xuan'er, I'm afraid that she has the wrong personality, a girl, there is no lady's dignified, but her temperament is strong, but she looks like a hot-blooded teenager.
And she is the opposite of herself, she is obsessed with martial arts, playful and smart, while she prefers scriptures, and her temperament is cold and detached, I really don't know how two people with opposite personalities got so close.
After watching it for a long time, Lin Ning suddenly found that this set of boxing techniques was a little familiar, and immediately stopped Xuan'er's movements, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, you don't want to die, you actually steal the advanced martial arts of the palace?" ”
"Childe, you're too careful, I've only learned the skin, and I haven't learned the mental method, so don't worry!." She frowned, pursed her lips, but patted him on the shoulder and said with relief.
Lin Ning turned around and said lightly: "You don't know, how miserable it is to steal the martial arts of the inner gate of the palace, the last time a subordinate just inadvertently peeked at Lin Qian's martial arts, he was beheaded and hung for three days before giving up." ”
His eyes showed concern, and he only said, "Don't let others know about this matter." ”
"Oh, my eldest son Lin, Xuan'er, I swear to God, absolutely no one knows about this, of course, except for you, you can rest assured." She held up three fingers, looking a little upset.
This guy is too unkind, he just wants him to be happy, but it is self-defeating, but he was taught a lesson, and he knew it earlier, so he didn't care about him.
After thinking about it in her heart, Xuan'er covered her mouth and laughed again, Lin Ning saw this, and asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing, nothing." She shook her hand again and again, "I suddenly found out that you also care about people, Childe, it's really a strange thing!" ”
Lin Ning said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that someone will have an accident, and I'm just afraid that I will get into trouble when the time comes." After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xuan'er, who was stomping his feet, and played the jade flute by himself.
Being snubbed by Lin Ning, Xuan'er sulked, so she had to find a clean stone bench, hold her chin with both hands, and sit down. Listening to the sound of the flute, in the cold night breeze, rippling wantonly, her heart was completely relaxed.
After a while, his eyes were already falling, and he fell asleep in his melodious flute. Lin Ning picked her up, sent her to the bamboo house, and closed the door.
Walking alone to the pond, he sat down, took out the jade flute, and placed it in front of him, he smiled lightly, but took out a simple scroll called Xuanzhen Jing from his arms, and looked at it with relish.
"The shape is like the will, the qi is through the sky, the Xuan Xuan has a realm, the qi and the mind are together, it is to break the shackles......" he remembered what he learned in the book in his heart.
Legend has it that many years ago, the Tao was revealed, and the three Taoist monarchs passed down the Three Classics, and this Xuan Zhen Sutra is one of the three classics of the model.
However, nowadays, martial arts are the right way, and the Tao is even higher, it is difficult to find it, and few people are willing to study this law scripture. Others don't know, but Lin Ning knows it very well in his heart.
The Taoist scriptures, the three classics and the five outlines, although obscure and difficult to understand, but this is a real immortal treasure book, this is still one night four years ago, he has nothing to do, and he has no intention of discovering it.
In his early years, he heard that there were immortals in the world, soaring clouds and mist, calling for wind and rain, and their life span was extremely long, so he was not happy. It's just that he was young at the time, and he just said this as a legend.
However, since discovering the mysteries of the Tao Sutra and the hidden subtleties inside, he believes that there are really immortals in this world. Immediately became curious, and according to the fragment in his hand, the Xuanzhen Sutra said, and he came to his senses.
Under the enlightenment, he was in a state of mind, the road was born, and he seemed to feel a trace of clarity from his weak body, which was indescribable, and he had to be in the artistic conception.
With this feeling, he persevered.
In the past four years, he will participate in one or two enlightenments almost every night, this method is not comparable to martial arts, martial arts pay attention to refining the body, as long as you are willing to work hard, sooner or later there will be some achievements, but the Tao is the heart of enlightenment, what is emphasized is the epiphany Qingming, the body is outside, the heart is inside, who is more difficult to cultivate, obvious.
Therefore, even Lin Ning, who has read poetry and books since he was a child, is also difficult to understand, Rao is so, he still benefits a lot from it.
In fact, the world, martial arts to immortals, immortals to Taoist saints, is very common, it is precisely because of the ethereal immortals, mortals can not touch, so that this is the yearning, but the immortals are difficult to find, the world will be immortals as a legend exists.
After an epiphany, Lin Ning's mouth exhaled turbidity, his eyes became clearer, and his body felt a lot lighter, "This scripture is really wonderful." He sighed involuntarily, and was about to get up, but he seemed to feel that there was a foreign body in the dantian......
