Chapter 16: The White Lotus
The two sat down side by side on the stone steps, facing the lake and the lotus flower for a while, and the high priest sighed, "It's so beautiful, it's a pity that you can only stay here for a month." ”
Ji Buyun understood and said, "I live in the living room, is it okay?"
The high priest bowed his head lightly and said, "Okay, I'll give you the quilt in a moment." ”
"It's okay, Do'er, I'll just rest on the bench, it's much better than a cave. ”
"No, it's cool, I can cover the clothes, there are so many clothes in the wardrobe that I can't finish, you can take off the robe and give it to me in a while, there is needlework under the dresser, I'll help you mend it." ”
"Good. "Ji Buyun's clothes are really not like if they are not mended, it turns out that there is a big hole in the leg, and now the hem is torn again, this outfit is really indecent with a beauty like the high priest.
"You said that after becoming a real mage, do you still need to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation?" Ji Buyun thought of this question from his clothes.
The high priest said, "The book says that after the mage has his own barrier, he can live according to his own wishes. ”
Ji Buyun immediately thought of the queen, she had her own enchantment, but the life in the palace in the cave was definitely not what she wanted. Even if it is as strong as the ancestral dragon, there are many unsatisfactory places, and it seems that mages, like ordinary people, have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
"Isn't this secret realm an enchantment?"
The queen pondered for a while and said, "Haotian has vast magical powers, tens of millions of incarnations, and boundless mana, and it is a matter of thought to create such an enchantment. ”
Then we are now living in the mind of God. Ji Buyun said with a smile, since he met Zulong, his admiration for Haotian in his heart has weakened a lot.
"So to speak. ”
"Then do you say Haotian can see us now?"
The high priest replied reverently: "God is everywhere, and we can see it wherever we are and whatever we do." ”
Somehow, Zulong's sentence "There are more descendants of the old man, so if you have time to see who kowtows one by one" suddenly appeared in Ji Buyun's mind, he couldn't help laughing, in order to hide himself, he stood up and helped the high priest and said, "You are not well, don't catch a cold, let's go back, Duo'er." ”
The High Priest replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
After the two returned to the palace, the high priest entered the dormitory.
Ji Buyun put the two benches in the living room together to make a simple bed, and after a while, the high priest came out with a quilt and a few splendid clothes, and after she helped Ji Buyun make the bed, she turned her back to him and stretched out her right hand. Ji Buyun willingly took off her robe and handed it to the high priest, her face turned red, and she took her clothes and bowed her head back to the dormitory.
Ji Buyun was waiting for the living room to look around, and at a glance, he saw a round white jade relief of about three feet hanging on the red marble wall of the living room, the relief is divided into two layers, the inner layer is a creation flower, and the outer layer is the zodiac pattern. In the zodiac, only half of the dog's pattern is colorful, and the rest is the true color of white jade, and the color on the dog is gradually decreasing. After a little thought, he understood that the secret realm was always in the early morning, and this relief was a timekeeping tool to facilitate the cultivator's work and rest.
When all the dogs on the relief turned white and the pigs turned colorful, the high priest walked out of the dormitory, she lowered her head tightly, and knocked lightly twice at the door of the living room, Ji Buyun hurriedly walked over, took the mended robe from her hand, and she quickly turned around and went back.
The high priest used the robe she replaced as a material to mend his robe, the patches were neat, the stitches were fine, Ji Buyun finally didn't have to endure the pain of showing his muscles, after changing the robe, he smelled a faint cold fragrance, he knew that it was the lingering fragrance she left on the clothes.
After a while, the high priest came out with two large cups of water on a tray.
Ji Buyun pointed to the relief on the wall and said, "It's time to rest, Duo'er." ”
The high priest saw the relief on the wall, very curious, walked up and observed it carefully for a while, Ji Buyun saw the girlish innocence in her eyes for the first time, she turned her head and smiled at him: "It's exquisite." ”
"God is very thoughtful, and with this, it is convenient for us to work and rest. ”
"Hmm. The high priest lowered his head, his face turned red again, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I have to trouble you to accompany me to cultivate, my first time cultivating my divine sense, I must have someone by my side." ”
Ji Buyun didn't understand why her face was red again, but she didn't ask anything, just replied: "Obey, Lord Duo'er." ”
The high priest glanced up at Ji Buyun, she should have wanted to smile at him, but she didn't laugh, her face became even redder, like a ripe apple, and she hurriedly fled back to the dormitory.
Ji Buyun's heart was overjoyed, the high priest was much shyer than the queen, and at the age of twenty-one, she was more like a fifteen-year-old girl.
That night, Ji Buyun's dream was chaotic, in addition to the cold and fragrant, there were also the faces of the queen and the high priest alternately appeared in the dream, the high priest looked shy, and the queen was full of anger, waving a small fist, and wanted to fight. He also felt that the aura in his sea of qi had suddenly increased several times compared to before, and the colors were more colorful and even hotter. Colorful True Dragon Qi, he heard an old voice echoing in his mind, the voice was very similar to an ancestral dragon but not an ancestral dragon. The aura continued to spread from the sea of qi to every part of his body and back to the sea of qi, and his whole body was warm and indescribably comfortable.
When he woke up the next morning, Ji Buyun found himself covered in sweat. The high priest happened to come out of the dormitory at this time, and when he saw him sweating profusely, he hurriedly ran to his side and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm going to cover too much when I sleep. Ji Buyun explained to himself like this, which was also a cover-up.
The high priest stretched out his hand to test the temperature of his forehead, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he pointed in the direction of the dormitory with confidence, and Ji Buyun understood and went to the dormitory to wash.
After the two finished cleaning up, the high priest held two pieces of clothes, and asked Ji Buyun to accompany her to the beach by the lake with a flushed face. She pointed to a red stone engraved with the pattern of the creation flower on the beach, and said to Ji Buyun in a mosquito-like voice: "When I am sent to the beach by the water for a while, please help me change my clothes, and then put me flat on the stone." ”
After speaking, he handed the clothes in his hand to Ji Buyun, don't look over his head and dare not look at him again.
Ji Buyun didn't know why, took the clothes, and replied: "Okay."
The high priest took a deep breath by the lake, took off his shoes and handed them to Ji Buyun, and then walked barefoot into the lake. The white jade feet waded across the blue, clear lake, disturbing pieces of broken jade. Reaching the knee-high point of the lake, she stretched her waist, moved her muscles, and then sat cross-legged in the water, with her hands folded, palms down, flat on the water.
The tranquil water rippled at this time, and under the morning sun, sparkling waves flowed in the direction of the high priest. One by one, the red fish at the bottom of the lake swam towards her and surrounded her. The ripples were layered on top of each other, turning into tiny waves, and countless golden sprays surged out of the waves, sliding down on the High Priestess, her body blooming in the waves with a faint light of dawn blue.
The waves grew faster and bigger, and when the lake finally sounded, a white lotus flower suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a pure ray of light was reflected in the light, pointing directly at the center of the high priest's eyebrows. One by one, the lotus flowers that filled the lake emitted dazzling light, and the pure light reflected converged on the high priest's eyebrows. The high priest's face, which was already flowing with faint pearlescent light, is now more solemn and holy, and if she is a lotus, she must be the most elegant of the lotus flowers in this lake.
The waves grew louder and louder, and the waves rolled towards the High Priest, who sat upright in the water, fighting them with all her strength. The red fish swam around her, and every now and then a fish leaped up and disappeared into the pure light of her brow. The light of dawn blue blooming on her body became more and more abundant, and she could vaguely see that it was the shadow of Qingluan.
Half an hour later, the waves finally pushed the High Priest onto the beach. As soon as she left the lake, the water surface returned to tranquility, the light on the white lotus flower disappeared in an instant, and the swimming fish returned to the golden bottom of the lake to play.
Ji Buyun grabbed a piece of clothing, took three steps and ran to the high priest's side, only to see her lying flat on the beach, her eyes closed, and her peerless face was now full of tranquility. He gently lifted the high priestess to her feet, and in two strokes took off her soaked robes.
Ji Buyun couldn't help but exclaim "ah", there was not an inch in the high priest's robe, her plump, mature and perfect body exuded endless elegance and holiness, enough to satisfy any man's fantasy. He didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he hurriedly helped her change her clothes, laid it flat on the stone engraved with the pattern of the creation flower, and then hid to the side with a dry mouth.
The body of the high priest slowly floated up on the stone, exuding a brilliant brilliance, and under the light of the light, the creation flowers carved on the stone came alive one by one, and each flower bloomed with a faint red light, merging with the light on the high priest's body, forming a closed aura. The two kinds of light flowed rapidly in the aura, and the high priest and the stone used the light as a medium, carrying out some kind of magical exchange, but she gave the stone less light than she absorbed. The light of the aura faded, and when the light disappeared completely, the high priest's body fell back to the stone.
After a while, the high priest sat up from the stone, his face exhausted. Ji Buyun hurriedly went over and handed over a cup of the Earth Water Flower that had been prepared a long time ago, but the Earth Water Flower failed to make the high priest fully recover, and she rested for a while before standing up again.
The high priest glanced at Ji Buyun shyly, and returned to the lake, repeating the process just now.
Only this time, the time spent by the high priest in the water was significantly reduced, and the process of Ji Buyun changing her clothes became relatively longer, and she suffered more from the exchange of light with the stone.
This time, after the high priest fell back to the stone, Ji Buyun rushed over directly to help her up, she closed her eyes tightly, and leaned motionless on Ji Buyun's shoulder for a long time before opening her eyes.
Ji Buyun was extremely distressed, saw her open her eyes, and directly carried her back to the bed in the dormitory, fed her two glasses of water, and helped her cover her clothes before leaving.
The high priest slept all afternoon.
Ji Buyun practiced the Dragon Dance on the stone steps for a while, and he found that when he practiced this now, he had a feeling of fluttering, and the majestic aura flowed into the sea of qi with his movements, and then spread throughout the body, forming a natural cycle. After thinking about it for a while, he really flew up, and he finished the whole dragon dance in the air before falling back to the ground. He was ecstatic in his heart, and practiced the water control technique taught to her by the queen again, and this time he flew higher, and he actually finished the action on the palace. After thinking about it carefully for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, this time he practiced the Dragon Dance again, and he actually flew into the air.
The queen had told him that this dragon dance was the highest level spell in the Central Plains Empire, and he knew that he must have a lot of things he didn't understand, so he made up his mind: when he went back, he would definitely ask the ants to understand.
It wasn't until the time of the unit that the high priest came out with a cup of earth and water, she handed the cup to Ji Buyun, and lowered her blushing face tightly, not daring to speak.
Ji Buyun resisted the urge to kiss her on the face, pulled her to sit side by side on the stone steps and quietly admired the lake flowers, he clearly heard her heartbeat.
The High Priest finally calmed down from her shyness, and she sighed, "The cultivation is really too hard. ”
Ji Buyun looked at her and said, "Is it better?"
She still didn't dare to look at her, lowered her head, and said, "Well, I've slept for several hours, and I drank two glasses of water just now, and now it's much better." ”
"This method of cultivating divine consciousness is recorded in the scriptures, and there is this book in the study, do you want to read it?" the high priest continued, fiddling with his delicate fingers.
"I still don't look at it. Ji Buyun understood that the high priest was explaining that he asked him to change his clothes, how could a girl say such a thing, no wonder she kept blushing. The priestly books are all secrets, and he reads them from the queen, and he can't do anything willful here.
The high priest let out a low "um", she knew that Ji Buyun understood what she meant.
Ji Buyun said: "Your injury is not good yet, you shouldn't be so desperate." ”
"No, there is only one month, I have to work hard to cultivate, Haotian Oracle, no matter how difficult it is, I have to persevere. The High Priest said.
"I don't know how to practice, but my master told me that everything should be done gradually, and being too anxious is counterproductive. ”
"Your master, is that the ant?"
"yes, how do you know him?"
The high priest's face, which had finally calmed down, showed shyness again, and she whispered: "After seeing you that day, I immediately asked the priest of the wine and the priest of the sun to investigate you in detail, I want to know everything related to you, especially if you are the girl you already like." ”
Ji Buyun said with a smile: "I don't have the girl I like, but I can catch one of the ants I admire." ”
The high priest couldn't help but laugh with him, his voice was lower, and said: "They say that you are the most handsome Praetorian Guard in three hundred years, Haotian City likes you a lot, I have nothing special, and I am older than you, I am afraid that you will not look down on me, it is always good to know more about you, and you can't completely rely on the oracle to suppress you." ”
"No, you are a noble high priest, the first beauty of the highlanders, I am just a half-blood, I should say how dare I fall in love with you. Ji Buyun said in his heart, you are so beautiful that you are in the sky and said that you have nothing special, so you don't let others live.
"But you are the royal family of the Central Plains Empire, as long as you go back, you can inherit your uncle's position as the third duke, but you don't want to go back. ”
Even his uncle and his reluctance to go back were investigated clearly, the two priests under the high priest did work hard, it seemed that there was nothing she didn't know, Ji Buyun was embarrassed and habitually changed the topic: "Is it particularly painful to cultivate divine consciousness?"
"No, when the light of the lotus flower shines into my mind, my mind is cool and peaceful, and everything around me can be felt without looking. It is particularly difficult to resist the impact of the current, the water has been pushing me on the shore, the aura in the sea of qi can not be lifted, I can only try to resist by will, and in the end I don't know anything, and I wake up on the stone. ”
Ji Buyun had another flash of inspiration in his mind, and he vaguely knew the crux of the high priest's problem. He took the high priest's hand and asked, "Do you know how to resist water?"
"Yes, I've been practicing it a long time ago, but it doesn't work. ”
Ji Buyun said: "Can you practice it for me?" ”
Without any hesitation, the high priest got up and practiced for him. Her movements are very skillful, but the rhythm is slow, and the breathing is not graceful and natural, obviously she learned it by reading books herself.
Ji Buyun got up, faced the high priest, and said, "Lord Duo'er, with all due respect, your water control technique is still missing, and I happen to have a little bit of this, please advise." ”
The High Priestess watched in amazement as he performed a trick of water in mid-air, and when he fell, her sparkling eyes filled with surprise and adoration.
"It's amazing. She exclaimed.
Ji Buyun explained the essentials of each movement for her in detail, especially the breathing, rhythm, initiation and natural transition and other things that he comprehended, without concealment, and completely taught it to the high priest. Only the spell that the queen had taught him had sworn not to tell anyone, and he had not dared to mention it to the high priest.
The high priest began to practice according to the method he said, and he stood aside, and immediately stopped if something was wrong, and explained it to her in detail, and after practicing like this six or seven times, she finally mastered all the essentials of the movement.
When I practice it again, I obviously feel different, the high priest is already peerless, and now he is about to fly with his hands and feet, like a fairy.
More importantly, the High Priest learned how to circulate the aura in the sea of qi and around the body, and learned how to control the aura.
The high priest was overjoyed, and practiced over and over again, until Ji Buyun urged her to rest, and then reluctantly withdrew and returned to the dormitory.
The next day, the high priest went down to the lake to cultivate, and the time he held on was much longer than the first day, and it took nearly an hour before he was washed up on the beach. After Ji Buyun slowly helped her change her clothes and put them on the stone, her recovery time was much faster than yesterday; the second time she lasted for most of the hour, and this time she was tired on the stone and couldn't get up.
After the cultivation was over, Ji Buyun carried her back to the dormitory, she only slept for two hours before she fully recovered, and came out to practice the water resistance technique with Ji Buyun dozens of times.
When resting at night, Ji Buyun figured out a problem, the taboo was first opened, and the aura in the world was still not abundant enough, and the aura in the secret realm was obviously much higher than that in the world. In the past, the queen had an aura peak, and she could come to the secret realm to concentrate on cultivating her divine sense, but the high priest did not have such conditions, so she should cultivate both divine consciousness and spiritual energy.
