10. The Way of Heaven

Shen Huan didn't pay attention to Gu Cheng for five days in a row, not for anything else, she didn't want to have nothing to say.

Gu Chenghan was well raised, and was glanced at a few times by her cold gaze, but he could still smile.

He is nothing else, the other party is just a pampered girl eight years younger than him, and a man can't be serious about being angry with a little girl.

On the evening of the sixth day, the sky was clear and the moon was clear, Gu Cheng accompanied Xu Shi to talk for a while, watched her fall asleep, and walked alone in the courtyard.

The door to the Westinghouse opened, and Hanxiang walked out with dinner. The wind swept by, the porridge was motionless, and Gu Cheng's brows frowned slightly.

"Girl didn't have dinner?" He didn't make a loud voice, as if he didn't want anyone in the room to hear him.

Hanxiang nodded, her eyes puzzled, "Not only did I not eat today, but I also said that I don't need to bring her dinner in the future, and I don't know what it means." ”

He knew that she was arrogant, but gambling was not such a gamble, and she couldn't joke about her body.

Hanxiang walked away, Gu Cheng did not hesitate, walked to the porch, and knocked lightly on the door. A coughing sound was heard from inside the room, signaling that he could enter.

Pushing open the door, I saw Shen Huan sitting cross-legged on the bed, dressed in a short dress, although he was also plain, he looked a little surprised.

Shen Huan didn't get up, frowned and looked at him, as if a phoenix flower was blooming from his forehead, "Is there something wrong with the third brother?" ”

took the initiative to speak, but the attitude was still rejective. Gu Cheng was afraid of embarrassment, so he sat down on the chair first, with a good voice, "I'm bothering you, what are you doing?" ”

Shen Huan looked at him fixedly, "It's okay to do it, practice will be angry." ”

Gu Cheng laughed softly, "Aren't you serious and angry with me?" ”

"That's what I said." Shen Huan teased, "When did the third brother offend me?" ”

It doesn't matter if you offend or not, it depends on how you come back. Gu Cheng lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head, his eyes became a little solemn and serious, "You have to eat when you should eat, you are growing your body, you are hungry and have no strength, how can you practice?" ”

Shen Huan shook his head lightly, "That's not the case." The internal exercises taught by my master are to clear the stomach and intestines, especially when practicing qi, the most taboo is to feel full. Moreover, if the body is heavy and cannot be lifted, the light body kung fu is equivalent to waste. ”

After saying such a long string of words, it seems that he is no longer making trouble.

Gu Cheng thought about it, and still asked seriously, "You are focused on practicing martial arts, I want to ask, do you like it, or is there any other purpose?" ”

Shen Huan didn't answer directly, and asked rhetorically, "Does the third brother care?" ”

Gu Cheng nodded, a little solemn, "I care, so I ask you." ”

But she still didn't answer, and her body stood upright, like a cypress in the wind.

Gu Cheng straightened his sitting posture, looked at her, and said seriously, "I know that you have hatred, father's hatred and family hatred, if it were me, you would also hate." It's not that I look down on girls, but you don't like to hear it, men and women are different. You are an only daughter, and it is easy to escape, so you should not bear those heavy pains again. Change the way of living, the sea and the sky outside, you can always find something to yearn for in this life. ”

Shen Huan lowered his eyes, "Really?" But you also said that I am the only one left in our family, and I don't carry those hatreds and pains, who will carry them? ”

Raising his eyes, he suddenly smiled, "I understand what the third brother means, in such a world, I can't set off any storms as a woman, so I should be at ease." But in today's world, does the third brother feel good? ”

Gu Cheng shook his head, "It's not good." However, the cycle of heaven and the way of heaven is the same as that of a person, a tree, and a grass, all of which have the law of life, death, and glory. Maybe we are in the last days, in troubled times, this is not a choice, we are destined to be born. With one body, to turn the tide, there may be such a person, but I really am not. We can't choose the environment we live in, but we can choose how we want to live. To live, you don't necessarily have to be flies and dogs, and peace is not a very bad form. ”

Shen Huan was silent, and muttered to himself for a long time, "Heavenly Dao? ”

Gu Chengshen bowed his head, "Yes, Heavenly Dao." ”

Stunned for a moment, Shen Huan's eyes were like electricity, scorching, "Perhaps, I am the way of heaven." ”

Speechless, because of the sharp and domineering. With a slight sigh, Gu Cheng stopped talking, got up for a long time, and slowly walked out of the house, his steps were infinitely dignified compared to when he came.

The spring day is good, full of vitality, and the early summer is coming in a blink of an eye, and the air is a little more hot, with the fragrance of flowers and birds, and the smell is pleasant.

Shen Huan proposed to go to the street, not to hang out, but to stay in the world of Gu Mansion for half a year, wanting to go out and see the people and things outside.

Gu Cheng readily agreed, but unexpectedly she asked to prepare a few men's clothes. Suddenly I thought of the first time I saw her, she was dressed in men's clothes, extremely handsome, maybe she was used to dressing like this. He thought about it for a while, and finally said no more, and agreed one by one.

At that time, no matter whether the world was good or bad, the rich Gyeonggi under the feet of the Son of Heaven was still full of prosperity at a glance.

This is where a dynasty arose and flourished; It will also be the first place to decline as a dynasty declines.

Shen Huan hung her head slightly, and did not linger on the surrounding scenery, her figure has grown a lot over the years, and she has gradually become tall and slender, if she is not wearing the most ordinary clothes at this time, pretending to be a teenager, walking on the street will definitely attract the attention of the crowd.

Getting rid of the fragrance is a breeze for Shen Huan. Alone, she walked lightly around the crowd, her green shirt fluttering, and her eyes were firmly walking towards the richest streets and alleys in the city.

Turning the last street, a magnificent mansion appeared in front of me. Shen Huan stood in the corner, looking quietly, she still remembered that this was the mansion of Chang Quanyi, the eunuch and the chief eunuch of the court.

Many years ago, Shen Hui once went to Beijing to report on work, and once brought her here as a guest. It's just that at that time, she didn't understand what kind of monstrous power the owner of this mansion had, and what kind of undercurrents were in each other's hearts when her father and the man laughed and laughed.

At noon at this moment, Shen Huan knew that during the day, Chang Quanyi would accompany the emperor in the palace, and he would only return to this outer mansion at night. If there were no accidents, she would definitely not meet Chang Quanyi here today.

She just came to see the topography and precautions. At first glance, the guards in front of the door were all dressed in Beijing guards, which was one of the emperor's personal guards, so magnificent, so excessive, Chang Quanyi was known as nine thousand years old in the court, it is not surprising.

Shen Huan stared at the door for a moment, and then saw three canopy cars coming from a distance, stopped in front of the gate, and got out of the car with three men, who were dressed but were not from the public gate.

The leader is an old man in his fifties, with white beard and hair, dressed in Taoist robes, and has the style of a fairy family.

She stared at the person first, and couldn't see anything unusual for a while, but suddenly a gust of wind blew, but she saw that the man's clothes did not move at all, and even the cuffs did not rise and fall at all.

She was slightly shocked in her heart, knowing that it was the best internal kung fu, and she thought that she had already practiced to the realm of transformation, and the breath around her body did not need to be deliberate, it was natural, and it was enough to resist the power of an external object.

She looked at the two people next to her again, and the person on her left hand was a middle-aged bearded man, with bulging muscles all over his body, showing a majestic and hideous posture.

The man on the right hand was thin and inconspicuous, but she looked carefully, when the wind blew, lifting the light clothes on his body, and the flowing muscles on his back were faintly visible, like a snake crawling around, this person must be a master of Tai Chi Kung Fu.

The three men did not speak, nor did they disdain to look around them, and entered the mansion through the main entrance without hurry.

It is widely rumored in the DPRK that Chang Quanyi believes in Taoism, and has recruited people who have attained Taoism in the world, in order to seek the elixir of immortality, and later tended to practice the inner family heart method to prolong life. It seems that these three people are all the top masters he has raised, helping them cultivate on the one hand, and providing them with close protection on the other.

Shen Huan closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, then turned around and left quickly. She was a little impetuous, which was the anxiety and uneasiness caused by seeing the disparity between herself and the top masters.

She knew that she still had a long way to go, and if she wanted to break through the three of them and get close to Chang Quanyi's body, her kung fu would have to go up a few more steps. But what the master can teach her, and what she has already taught, have all been practiced by her to the extreme, and there is no room for breakthroughs.

She needs the kung fu of other families and schools, and the guidance of famous teachers, but where can she go to meet such a person?

Shen Huan remembered that the master once told her that when he went down the mountain, he thought that he was a martial artist who practiced both inside and outside, and he was quite complacent, but he didn't expect that the first defeat was due to an inconspicuous old man.

And the old man is just an ordinary person who walks the streets and alleys, sharpening scissors for a living, so ordinary that even if you pass by, you won't want to look at him more.

In the market, there are many masters lurking, either to escape the world or to avoid disaster.

So she has to travel all over the land of the capital to find someone who can show her the way forward.
