Eighty-one chapters, dumb riddles

Zhang Liubing performed very well during this time, with a very graceful smile every day, successfully completed his work, and actively participated in the company's various businesses, which can be selected as the best employee of the company. Other employees in the company are very puzzled, why did Zhang Dashao change his surname? Could it be that there is some rumor that the boss wants to hand over the company to Dashao to take care of? No, Zhang Xi is in the prime of life, and he is far from retirement.

Zhang Xi smiled in his eyes and said nothing, he was very satisfied with his son's performance, and he was secretly grateful to that Li Feng's senior, if it weren't for the appearance of that senior, Zhang Liubing probably wouldn't have had this kind of change.

Zhang Liubing was also refining his spiritual sense according to the guidance of You Fang during this time, and he went to the antique and thrift markets in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and took the initiative to apply for a business trip to Panjiayuan in Yanjing, but he didn't know that it was the place where "Li Feng's predecessors" had fought. More than three months have passed, and Zhang Liubing has finally ushered in a breakthrough in the realm.

His foundation is already very good, and during this time, he has focused on making up for the lack of cultivation, and the situation of turning spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness is very similar to You Fang, and the location is still in front of Yongfang Hall. When his cultivation had accumulated enough and the heat had reached the point, he still chose this place. On the one hand, this place was suitable for the final step of refining the spiritual consciousness, and on the other hand, he was wondering if it was possible to meet Li Feng's predecessor again.

This night, Zhang Liubing finally realized what it was to be clear and clear in the primordial spirit, and he unfolded his spiritual sense to sense the surrounding conflicting earth qi and things, but he could not touch it, so the sense was extremely clear. He also intentionally or unintentionally unfolded his divine sense to carefully search the surroundings, wanting to see if Li Feng's predecessors were secretly observing him, and whether he had the ability to find out?

Of course he won't find anything, Zhang Liubing couldn't help but feel slightly lost, didn't his father say that Li Feng's predecessors would pay attention to him in secret, as long as he mastered his divine sense, he would show up and contact, could it be that his father guessed wrong?

Early this morning, Zhang Xi was naturally quite happy to learn that his son had finally stepped into the threshold of the secret method master, and said: "You don't have to worry, Senior Li Feng should appear, if there is another opportunity to point out, our original speculation can be completely confirmed, and I am also waiting and seeing." ”

Zhang Liubing went to work in the morning, just sat down in the office, the mobile phone rang, it was an unfamiliar local number, after receiving the notification, a strong voice came from the phone: "Zhang Liubing, do you still remember what happened in front of Yongfang Hall, how is your secret method cultivation now?" ”

Zhang Liubing was both surprised and delighted: "Senior Li is doing lately? Thank you for your advice, I just turned my spiritual consciousness into a divine consciousness last night, and I was looking for an opportunity to thank you in person, and my father also wanted to ask you for advice. While secretly saying in his heart, his father was really scheming, he had long expected that Li Feng's predecessor would appear at this time, and at the same time, he was also very impressed, this senior is really powerful, he just mastered his divine sense last night, and the call came this morning.

Such a coincidence? You Fang was also startled, and his speech was almost out of tune, but fortunately, it was not face-to-face, and Zhang Liubing couldn't see his reaction. You Fang's mind changed for a moment, and then he answered: "Congratulations on finally getting a glimpse of the master's path, and it is not in vain that the old man met you, there is no need to meet for the time being, I have something to send to you, I hope you can use your divine sense to find out the fun." With that, he hung up the pay phone on the street.

Zhang Liubing was puzzled and curious, and left the office to wait for the company's access in person, and someone happened to deliver a courier package that needed to be signed by himself. When I returned to the office, I closed the door and opened the package, which contained a painting and a note, which read: "Don't damage this thing, please check the authenticity and sell it at the price." - Li Feng"

This is a painting for the Yuan Dynasty landscape master Huang Gongwang "Qianchun Mountain Residence Map", although Zhang Liubing is not an expert in identifying calligraphy and painting, but how to look at it does not look like the truth, at least common sense he still has, the rice paper is very new, it cannot be a painting hundreds of years ago. Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is famous, but this mountain residence map has never been seen.

Puzzled, he suddenly remembered his father's advice in the morning that if there was any news from Li Feng's seniors, he should contact him immediately, so he called his father and went upstairs to Zhang Xi's office.

Zhang Xi was much more neat than Zhang Liubing, regardless of whether the painting was true or false, he immediately ordered someone to invite several famous calligraphers and painters in Guangzhou. Several experts looked at each other, very tactfully but very clearly told Zhang Xi that this was a fake, not even a fake, but just a copy of a modern person. If it weren't for Zhang Xi's identity, these experts would have wanted to scold their mother, and they would have invited them all from afar, just to identify this kind of thing? It's just funny and insulting to their professionalism!

Zhang Liubing was even more confused, but Zhang Xi was very calm, and expressed his gratitude to the experts with great self-cultivation, and asked Zhang Liubing to set up a banquet on behalf of himself at noon.

After having lunch with others, Zhang Liubing came to his father's office again, and found that Zhang Xi had not gone out or eaten at noon, and had been looking at the painting. Zhang Liubing said suspiciously: "Dad, this painting is obviously just a fake, Li Feng's predecessors asked us not to damage the authenticity of this thing, and said that it will be sold at a price, is it a test?" If we damage the painting and are willing to pay the price of the original work, can we prove our integrity and sincerity? ”

Zhang Xi shook his head and said: "Doing this can prove your own integrity and sincerity, but if you put the other party in the situation of a scoundrel, if you are a real senior, how can you treat it like this?" Judging from the methods used by Li Feng's predecessors to punish Yi San, he is by no means a greedy person, he will not be tempted for small profits, and he does not want to see us do things that point to a deer as a horse. …… Looking for the jade in his hands, the twelve words "don't damage this thing, please check the authenticity, and sell at the price" are very meaningful. ”

Zhang Xi kept the painting in his own hands, sent his son out first, and instructed his subordinates not to disturb him. When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Zhang Xi suddenly called Zhang Liubing again and asked him to immediately find a master framer and prepare in the studio. It is easy to do things if you have money and connections, and that night the father and son took the paintings to the Provincial Museum, and an old expert who is proficient in the restoration of ancient paintings received them in the studio.

When he returned home, it was already night, Zhang Xi had a secret conversation with his son in the study upstairs, the painting was still the original state, and it had not been restored to the original appearance, but the father and son had confirmed the mystery.

Zhang Xi sighed: "Senior Li Feng's test this time is not you, but me, you can master the divine consciousness is already improving, but it is still too difficult to uncover the doorway of this painting, he is testing whether my secret method cultivation has entered the realm of 'Divine Qi Condensation, Transferring the Spiritual Body'." ”

Zhang Liubing: "What kind of realm is this?" ”

Zhang Xi: "It's hard to talk, you have just mastered the divine sense, and you are only qualified to enter the threshold of the secret master, but if you want to become a real master, there is still a distance." It seems that the spiritual consciousness is no different from the initial transformation of the divine consciousness, in your opinion, it is nothing more than a clear sense of the disturbance of the caste and the earth's qi. ”

Zhang Liubing nodded again and again: "That's the case, I can unfold my spiritual sense and clearly sense the operation of the earth's qi, as long as I don't touch it, it will have no effect, and it will not be found by others." ”

Zhang Xi said with great satisfaction: "You use your divine sense to probe the surroundings, as long as you don't deliberately lock and touch, even I won't notice." But the true beauty of mastering the divine consciousness is not only that, and the higher level of the realm cannot be talked about, and I wanted to explain it in detail after you have experienced it yourself. But Li Feng's predecessor sent this painting today, and the gift is so wonderful that I can use this thing to guide you. ”

Zhang Xi used this painting to explain to his son the secret method of "finding the mountain" to cultivate the real profound realm.

This painting was originally just paper and ink, the accumulation of hundreds of years after the exquisite brushwork became a painting, and the spiritual resonance of the generations of people watching, so that it has the spiritual surname of the landscape, and the painting is like being in the landscape. But there is one thing that is now invisible to the real masterpiece, and even the top connoisseurs cannot find a feeling for this painting.

Only when the experience of divine consciousness has reached a level that is quite subtle and keen, close to the level of condensation, can one clearly perceive that this is the realm of 'condensing divine qi and transferring the spiritual body' in the cultivation of the secret method. This realm can be described in sixteen words: lifting weights as light, lifting as light, making something out of nothing, and having nothing.

A light piece of paper can carry hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, with the same earth qi and spirit surname, and conversely, it can condense the heavy mountains and rivers on a piece of painting paper. If you see a picture like a mountain, but it is not a mountain, then in cultivation, you can see a mountain like a picture, but it is not a painting.

What if there was no such painting? When you unfold your consciousness, can you also carry the aura of a mountain? This is the advanced realm of cultivating the secret method of seeking mountains, it cannot be cultivated just by sitting at home, it needs to walk the mountains and rivers of the world, and condense the earth's qi and divine consciousness into one. When it is used, it can be created out of nothing, like a void creation realm, which is called the transfer of the corpse, and through the entry and view, it seems that the scenery of the mountains and rivers and the spirit of the corpse can be carried with you.

Looking for mountains and mountains, there are mountains and rivers in the chest, just like this peculiar painting.

After Zhang Xi finished explaining, Zhang Liubing was thoughtful, and he didn't know how much he could comprehend, even if he could understand, he would have to truly experience this realm in field cultivation, and it was useless to talk about it. Zhang Xi asked his son again: "Li Feng's predecessor's painting is actually a dumb riddle, the riddle is like this, can you guess the riddle?" ”

The authenticity is concealed under the facsimile, which at first glance is a fake, but it can reveal the atmosphere of the mountains and the earth, and can only be detected when it reaches the realm of 'condensing the divine energy and transferring the spiritual body'. Zhang Liubing was not stupid, blinked his eyes and replied: "The answer to the mystery is two words - Xunluan." ”

Zhang Xi nodded again and again: "Yes, the allusion is the word Xunluan, this senior has already explained his intention." He is testing my secret law realm, after all, people who can integrate the sect inheritance must not only be good at managing the industry and taking care of affairs, but also must have a high enough cultivation in the secret method inheritance. ”

This is an intentional or unintentional coincidence, but it can't be completely misunderstood, the painting sent by You Fang not only wants to exchange money, but also tests the secret realm of the Zhang family and his son. Interestingly, You Fang himself didn't know the realm of "Divine Qi Condensation, Transferring the Spiritual Body" at that time, and Master Liu Li didn't tell him that he had stumbled into it by mistake here in Zhang Xi.

How is You Fang's secret method cultivation at the moment? In terms of the strength of the divine sense, it is actually similar to Zhang Liubing, but in terms of the subtlety and sensitivity of control, through this period of strange sword training, it has approached the realm of condensation without hindrance, and it is on par with Zhang Xi. It's not entirely because of his very good qualifications, this aspect of training, his father You Zuming has laid a good foundation for him since he was a child, for the identification of various surnames and the feeling of subtleties, You Fang has been skilled for many years, and it was not Liu Li who taught him.

In the same situation, if it is a person like the ghost hand Zhou Xiaoxian, if he can also master the divine sense, its subtlety is set above Zhang Xi, but he is not a person in this way, and he has not cultivated the secret method.

Everyone has their own considerations, this painting happens to be a textbook that Zhang Xi taught his son to learn and use, a sealing artifact with a spiritual surname, he naturally thought so, and finally said: "Li Feng's predecessor sent the painting to you like this, it is really popular!" If I'm right, he'll contact you again in the next few days and ask you how you appreciate the authenticity. ”

It is normal for Zhang Xi to praise "Li Feng" for his high popularity, this painting is quite precious, but it is not worth anything on the surface, Li Feng was sent to Zhang Liubing so easily, without worrying about loss and damage, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do. On the other hand, it also shows that this senior has high hopes for the father and son of the Zhang family, and he is also quite attentive to the integration of the inheritance of the Xunluan sect.

Zhang Liubing asked, "Dad, what should I say if Senior Li contacts me?" ”

Zhang Xi thought for a long time, and muttered: "He called your mobile phone yesterday, how about you leave your mobile phone to me, I want to talk to this senior directly." ”

Zhang Liubing frowned and was very embarrassed, leaving his mobile phone to his father, he still has a lot of private affairs, if someone who doesn't know also makes this call, usually the little ninety-nine doesn't let Zhang Xi know? Zhang Xi smiled when he saw his reaction: "It's okay if you don't give me your mobile phone, you don't run around these days, just sit outside my office during the day, and go home with me at night, when Li Feng's senior contacts you, give me the phone immediately." ”

Then he said: "This painting is simply a metaphor for the inheritance of the Xunluan School, and it will also be of great help to you in cultivating your divine sense and confirming your perception in the future, so take it and hang it in the middle of the study." ”

Zhang Liubing asked puzzledly: "Senior Li Feng only said that I should identify the authenticity, but did not say that it was given to me?" ”

Zhang Xi smiled: "How can we ask for such a precious thing empty-handed, even if it is given, we can't accept it in vain." The predecessors have said to sell at the price, then I will buy it, so that it is not a discerning care, but also a way to make friends, and you are the one who takes advantage! ”

Zhang Liubing: "There are two words 'Shen Du' hanging in the middle of my study, have you forgotten, you asked me to hang it last time." ”

Zhang Xi: "Hang the word Shendu in the bedroom, and hang this painting in the study." ”

……

Zhang Xi is teaching his son, in a high-walled compound on the outskirts of Guangzhou, Liu Li is also teaching his apprentices, talking about the realm of "spiritual qi condensation, transfer of spiritual body" after becoming a real master after the introduction of divine consciousness.

Last night, You Fang went to practice swordsmanship again, and as soon as he entered the backyard of the agricultural machinery factory, he saw Liu Li sitting on a recliner, swaying his calves, holding a teapot under the moon and humming an unknown local opera, looking very leisurely. You Fang hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Master, your old man is here again, has you not left Guangzhou during this time?" ”

Liu Li: "Who said I didn't leave, the euro has depreciated recently, I took advantage of the cheap to travel around Europe and just came back." ”

You Fang joked: "It's good to go out for a walk, your old man should be old and strong, and you can also bubble foreign girls when you travel around the world." At the same time, he muttered to himself in his heart, and he didn't know which of the old man's words was true, maybe he had been secretly staring at himself in Guangzhou for the past three months. Fortunately, he was in good order during this time, and he had no handle for the master to catch and secretly make trouble.

Liu Li gave him a violent shudder: "How can you talk to Master like this?" When you are old and strong, you are not modest, just forget about it! …… Don't mess around with me, what have you done during this time, and is there anything important you need to tell me? ”

You Fang really had something to do, and he immediately found that the wild fox had left three strange ancient paintings, and told Liu Li about giving one of them to Zhang Liubing. Liu Li didn't ask about the rest of the things, let alone how much money he wanted to get, but just smiled: "Stinky boy, you gave the Zhang family father and son a dumb riddle, right?" ”

You Fang laughed and said: "You are still old and smart, I can't hide any of my little abacus from you, and the mystery is the word Xunluan, which is equivalent to showing my intention." The master asked me to deal with the Xunluan faction, which is nothing more than the integration of the sect inheritance, and as a descendant of a generation of earth masters, I will never be the head of Xunluan. ”

Liu Li chirped: "With your moral surname, you can't be a person who wants to be it, and you are not a person from the Xunluan faction!" ”

You Fang: "What Master said is right, so this matter has to be solved by the people of the Xunluan faction, if Zhang Xi is indeed suitable, then he is the hope of success, just when it happens, of course I have to test it clearly." ”

Liu Li also nodded and said: "You're right, but before your ability exceeds Zhang Xi himself, it's best not to meet him, if you don't meet, you are still a master, and if you meet, you will have to show your stuff, and he will be disappointed." ”

You Fang: "Of course I know this, so I'm not in a hurry, if it weren't for the coincidence, I wouldn't have contacted them so early." ”

Liu Li took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "It's good that you know it yourself, then practice swords." ”

You Fang was a little embarrassed and said, "Can you please avoid it?" ”

Liu Li's eyes widened: "Why?" ”

You Fang: "Qin Yu's current appearance is not suitable for a third-party view. ”

Liu Li was amused: "Do you want to say that she has no clothes?" I can't see it again! If you can let me see it, then you have great ability, and your ability is greater than mine! ”

You Fang scratched his cheeks: "You always stare at the side, even if you can't see it, I feel awkward in my heart, and I can't concentrate on this awkwardness." Didn't you say that when you practice swords, you have to have high walls on all sides without ghosts and gods, and in my mind, your old majesty is still above the ghosts and gods. ”

Liu Li knocked on his head again and stood up: "Apprentices practice, and there are those who ask the master to avoid it, what kind of truth is this?" I'm not too rare to see it! …… But I'm here today to ask you a question, now that you don't draw your sword in your hand, can you also practice with Qin Yu? ”
