Chapter 351, Xuanji

The canyon is formed by geological faults, and the surrounding area of the earth-qi conflict is violently disturbed, and the terrain is different to form a variety of natural feng shui bureaus, and it is precisely in the place of the mercy bridge that the earth-qi spirit center embraces each other like the rhythm of yin and yang. Walking across the Compassion Bridge is a gravel paved path, there is such an elegant road in the deep mountains, and at the end of the trail is a clearing between the bamboo forests, where there is a bamboo house, and there is a half-building bamboo shed next to the bamboo house.

There is a stove made of loess in the bamboo shed, there is a bamboo bowl rack next to the stove, on which are placed all kinds of utensils, and the pillars of the bamboo shed are hung with bamboo flats, bamboo baskets and other things. Not far in front of the bamboo house, near the edge of the bamboo forest, there is also a bamboo pavilion with bamboo couches and bamboo chairs, and there is a stove for boiling water and tea utensils for making tea.

Xiang Yinghua took Wu Yuchong across the Compassion Bridge and stepped on the gravel path, the path was full of falling bamboo leaves, and the sound sounded very comfortable, like a gentle rubbing. Walking into the bamboo house, the interior is not very well furnished and simple, but it is exquisite enough, and there are two rooms on the left and right of a small hall.

Xiang Yinghua waved his hand and said: "You pick one, just live here and cultivate, the water and rice here have been prepared, fruits, vegetables, firewood and other mountains can be found by yourself, you have martial arts and you can also hunt game, I won't care about you, as long as you don't cross the bridge of mercy." â€Ļâ€Ļ Now that the secret method has been abolished, but the realm of cultivation will not be lost, remember to remember, rest your mind is cultivation. ”

Xiang Yinghua's last sentence had the meaning of pointing out his secret method, Wu Yuchong opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything, she was somewhat unconvinced. If it was before her skills were abolished, in fact, she and Xiang Yinghua were also in the same place, the Heavenly Machine Great Array could restrain the illusion and run with her without being moved by the illusion, but her cultivation of the Flushless Transformation Technique was not necessarily inferior to Xiang Yinghua.

In the encounter on Xuanji Peak, the two did not really fight, Wu Yuchong thought about it afterwards, when can he have a fight with Xiang Yinghua to see whose cultivation is higher and the means are more refined? But goodbye at this time, she has no chance, and when she says this to Yinghua, she is somewhat suspicious of pleasing her tongue, but her expression is clearly different.

Wu Yuchong lived here, knowing in her heart that she was under house arrest, but after thinking about it, this was actually the best protection for her. The various factions of the Jianghu Fengmen did not know that there was still a descendant called the pavilion master in the Tang Dynasty, and he was silently abolished by Mr. Rand, on the other hand, if An Zuojie and others knew her current situation, I am afraid they would not let her go, thinking about it, she couldn't help but have a feeling of sadness that the world was vast, but she didn't know where to stand.

Xiang Yinghua said that resting is cultivation, but after Wu Yuchong thought about it, how could this chaotic mood calm down? Waking up in the secret room of Mianshan to reach Furong Valley all the way, she hasn't had time to figure everything out, and she doesn't know what awaits her? Even if You Fang just let her go at that time, she didn't know what she should do.

In this bamboo house, Wu Yuchong's mood became more and more chaotic, and he could neither sleep nor sit and rest as usual, so he got up and walked out of the bamboo house. She didn't mean to run away, she couldn't escape if she wanted to, she just wanted to breathe and see the night in the mountains.

As soon as she walked out of the bamboo house, she saw Xiang Yinghua, Xiang Yinghua was in the bamboo pavilion, the small stove was burning reddish charcoal, the copper kettle was steaming slightly, and she was sitting there quietly with a cup of half-warm tea in her hand. There is a half-moon in the sky, hanging on the ridge at the other end of the canyon, which happens to be half-shaded and half-hidden. Qinghui sprinkled on the edge of the bamboo forest, Xiang Yinghua in the bamboo pavilion also happened to be draped in half-moonlight, the shadow of the mountain and the shadow of the people, it seems that they are quiet whispers in the moonlight.

Seeing this scene, no matter who she is, she will sigh secretly, no wonder she is called the Moon Shadow Fairy.

Wu Yuchong walked to the bamboo pavilion and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite, the bamboo chair creaked, but the slight sound broke the silence of the night. Xiang Yinghua lifted the pot and said, "Restless thoughts, difficult to rest? Have a cup of tea and see how beautiful it is at night in the mountains, which has been evocative for thousands of years. ”

What a beautiful night, you can hear the sound of the waterfall in the canyon, and the gentle sound of the breeze blowing the bamboo leaves, the two of them sit here and drink tea quietly. I don't know how long it took, the red light of the charcoal fire gradually dimmed, and the tea in the cup was a little cold, Wu Yuchong finally asked, "Moon Shadow Fairy, why did you return to this place?" ”

"I had only cultivated in the Pine Crane Valley before, and I had never killed anyone, nor had I encountered any danger. But here I encountered the most dangerous ambush in my life, not only killing people with secret methods, but also almost dying myself, which is a past that I don't want to remember, and I have never thought about going through. Xiang Yinghua replied slowly, and then changed his tone-

"But it's really beautiful here, isn't it? Later, I learned that it was a place chosen by a person named Pan Qiaomu in your Wuchong faction, and this bamboo forest house was also designed and built by her, and it was really a talent, what a pity! It's a pity to see you now. Life is not always as you wish, but the artistic conception of the soul is how to make people appreciate the beautiful, the landscape is not only innocent, but also grateful. ”

Wu Yuchong looked down at the cup in her hand, and remembered a lot of things You Fang said to her when she was in Meiling, Nanchang, maybe different from Xiang Yinghua's expression, but the meaning was so tacit, there seemed to be a heart between the two.

â€Ļâ€Ļ

The life of house arrest in the mountains began like this, and a month has passed unconsciously, Xiang Yinghua doesn't pay much attention to Wu Yuchong, if Wu Yuchong is happy, he can even treat Xiang Yinghua as if he doesn't exist. Xiang Yinghua was in Bigu during this time, and with her secret method of cultivation, it was not enough to not eat the fireworks in the world, but to nourish the form of the gods between heaven and earth, this is also a kind of retreat and cultivation, and it is nothing if you don't eat for a month.

It turned out that Xiang Yinghua came here to retreat, and Wu Yuchong was placed under house arrest, which seemed to be just incidental.

Wu Yuchong cooks every day, draws water from the mountain spring, can catch fish in the waterhole under the canyon, there are bamboo rats and frogs in the forest, there are fungus and various wild vegetables in the mountain, and there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The bamboo flat is full of yellow flowers and wild fruits, and strings of small fish are hung in the bamboo shed with thin bamboo branches, and the smoke rises every day on the Hibiscus Valley, adding a touch of popularity to this distant mountain.

After staying together for a long time, Wu Yuchong realized that the name "Moon Shadow Fairy" is not a compliment, nor is it just a description of Yinghua's temperament.

Many modern people living in the hustle and bustle of the city often have a kind of regret that Ye Gong is a good dragon, yearning for a quiet and uninhabited place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and often sighing how comfortable it would be to find such a place to live in seclusion when sitting in the office. But really send them to remote mountainous areas, no Internet, no various entertainment facilities, out of the enjoyment of modern urban life, maybe the first two days are still a little fresh, but after a few days I am afraid I can't stand it, I want to go back to live a comfortable life, or the home in the concrete jungle, everything is so convenient.

If the heart is impetuous, this mountain seclusion will become extremely boring, and if the heart is dusty, then the hustle and bustle of the world will also be peaceful and quiet. Mortals who don't have the idea of dust, more or less, temperament is also static or moving, like this kind of mountain life is not ordinary people can enjoy, although it looks beautiful, but day after day, even a kind of endurance and suffering.

But these heart-to-heart breaths, there is no trace of Xiang Yinghua's body, she is as quiet as this clear mountain, as moving as this beautiful water, and her soul seems to be able to integrate into the chorus of heaven and earth, which is the wonder of the rhyme of the soul. However, although she is out of the dust, she is not a person from the world, she is really a bright and quiet woman.

Xiang Yinghua is realizing enlightenment by example - what is resting the mind is cultivation.

On this day, Wu Yuchong came back from the spring in the valley and saw Xiang Yinghua drawing the ground with a thin bamboo branch, and a thin layer of fine sand was spread on the ground, as if he was painting and writing. In the past few days, she has been seeing Xiang Yinghua doing this, Xiang Yinghua ignored her, and she didn't lean over to take a closer look, and today she finally couldn't help but walk to her side to take a look, but as soon as she stood still, she was fascinated when she looked at it.

Xiang Yinghua is indeed writing, painting words with bamboo branches, words into books, painting with books, painting like mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers like a calligraphy, and calligraphy is like a map. But what kind of map is this, Wu Yuchong has never seen it, if Li Yongjun is here, he may think of the scene of You Fang talking about the seclusion of a word in Qingcheng Mountain, and Xiang Yinghua wrote the mountains and rivers in this word on the ground.

The words written on the ground are carefully identified as Furong Valley, but the font is like a seal and not a seal, such as a landscape pattern, and through the middle of the three words in Furong Valley, three words of mercy bridge are written, the strokes are very strong, but the font is like a stone drum text. If you are illiterate, you will be able to recognize it as a painting, a picture composed of strokes in the font. If you are a person who is proficient in tantric methods, you can also feel the unique landscape spirit from this painting, which is clearly the Furong Valley Compassion Bridge where Xiang Yinghua is located.

Wu Yuchong's secret ** power has been abolished, but it is still very clear, and the realm of mountains and rivers has not been lost, as long as the mind is calm, you can appreciate the wonder of the mountains and rivers. The calligraphy and painting in front of her are blended, which is the Furong Valley Compassion Bridge between square inches, and she inexplicably remembered the picture scroll in the sleeve of You Fang, a seemingly simple landscape map, but there is a wonderful interest of thousands of mountains and rivers looking for mountains and mountains.

At this time, Xiang Yinghua painted a book, using the book as a picture, of course, not refining the weapon. Xiang Yinghua seemed to know the doubts in Wu Yuchong's heart, and said lightly: "This is the Feng Shui Xuanji diagram, which evolved from the Xuanji diagram that has been handed down since ancient times, have you heard of it?" ”

Wu Yuchong shook her head wordlessly, she only knew that the place where Tang Dynasty Shang and Liu Li died together was called Xuanji Peak, Xuanji can also refer to the Beidou or the Dou Zhuan Xing, but she had never heard of Xuanji Tu, instinctively associated with astronomy or Tai Chi transformation, but she didn't know what the connection was with Xiang Yinghua's calligraphy and painting on the ground at this time?

If Xue Qinan was here, of course he would know what Xiang Yinghua said about Xuanjitu, but Wu Yuchong had too little time with his grandmother after all, so he really hadn't heard of it.

The allusion of Xuanji Tu originates from the brocade cloth embroidered by Su Ruolan, a talented woman in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with a total of 804 crosses, and the descendants added a "heart" word in the center to form a horizontal and vertical 29 columns and columns. These 841 characters are read horizontally, vertically, obliquely, positively, negatively, overlappingly, jumping, and returning, and can be made into poems in three, five, and seven words, and after thousands of years of interpretation by generations of people, it is said that nearly 8,000 poems have been written.

This five-color brocade is breathtaking, later generations called Xuanji Tu, from Wu Zetian to Su Dongpo, are amazed by the wonderful rhyme of this poem. If you want to interpret this Xuanji picture, it may take several years to write thousands of poems intermittently, but Su Ruolan only took a few months to embroider it, which shows her talent. There is an alley called Brocade Lane on the west side of Famen Temple in Shaanxi, which is said to commemorate Su Ruolan.

In later generations, Xuanji Tu became a woman's boudoir play, or a special embroidery, with various arrangements of words to form landscapes, flowers and birds, is a painting and a text. Of course, this kind of Xuanji diagram is not something that ordinary people can play, there were not many literate people in ancient times, and even fewer women were literate, even Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions" was illiterate.

Mastering poetry, embroidery, painting, and such brocade as a delicate talent is so exhausting that this kind of game has not been handed down, and not much is known to the present generation.

Xiang Yinghua portrayed the book, is no longer the kind of classical boudoir embroidery game, with the help of the rhyme of Xuanjitu, to talk about the landscape of the soul with words, but also in line with the traditional calligraphy and painting homology. It seems that although this mountain is quiet, Xiang Yinghua's heart is not boring at all, and everything is really vivid, which is the retreat and understanding necessary to break through the realm of divine thought and form.

Xiang Yinghua unhurriedly finished explaining the Xuanji picture, and with a slight wave of his sleeves, the sand and soil on the ground returned to its original state, and the picture just now was erased, and then handed the bamboo branch in his hand to Wu Yuchong. You don't need her to say Wu Yuchong to understand the meaning, it's clearly two words - fighting method!

The fighting method has its own difference between literary fighting and martial arts, and those who practice martial arts can usually join hands to fight for strength rather than life and death. Wu Yuchong's skills were useless at this time, so it was naturally impossible to use his divine thoughts to fight with Xiang Yinghua, and Xiang Yinghua saw that she was a little dissatisfied from the first day, so she was given such a chance to fight, that is, to use bamboo branches to paint the landscape and make a landscape Xuanji map.

Wu Yuchong's cultivation realm has not been lost, she can integrate her perception of the Shanshui Lingshu and the experience of once running the divine mind to look up to the heavens and the earth into the word intent spectrum, and see who is more intelligent? This has nothing to do with whether the Heavenly Machine Great Array or the Illusion Law Great Array is strong or weak, it just depends on the realm of each person's comprehension.

Wu Yuchong took the bamboo branch, but it didn't fall for half a day, she still suffered a lot in such a fight. Don't forget that she grew up in the United States, she is a top student, but after all, she is also a top student at Yale University, and the feelings and elegance of poetry, calligraphy and painting are still lacking. And these are precisely the very important aids for the cultivation of the secret method to reach the current realm, how can the mountains and rivers be achieved without a ravine?

But there is nothing unfair about this fighting method, what she learned is the secret method of Yang Gong handed down by the manifestation real person.

When An Zuojie came to China, he also realized that it was indeed difficult to go further with his own realm, and there always seemed to be something missing in his chest, and he also deliberately worked hard to make up for it. When Wu Yuchong saw the five album notes left by Wu Pingdong, why did he want it so much, and the reason was nothing more than this. vīŧ ~īŧ
