It took Cheng Tianle a total of half a year to practice the threefold stages described in the fourth step of the method to the realm of unity, but it seemed to be just a blink of an eye in a trance. At this point, he should be able to get out of the customs, and for demon cultivators, he must continue to condense the Xuandan every day until his kung fu is exhausted; For Cheng Tianle, it is the harmony of spirit and energy, and naturally turns to the body and mind.

One morning half a year later, Cheng Tianle walked to the rockery in the front yard, took a deep breath and said, "What a refreshing aroma, have osmanthus bloomed so early?" ”

"Mouse" floated over from the rockery and said, "Oh, after so many days, I finally saw that your expression was normal and not stupid." …… It's already autumn, and of course the osmanthus is blooming! ”

Cheng Tianle was slightly taken aback: "So fast, how long have I been in retreat?" ”

"Mouse": "It's been half a year, and in a few days it will be the Double Ninth Festival." …… Isn't it time for you to go out for a walk and try hairy crabs there? ”

Cheng Tianle's eyes widened and he let out a sigh of relief: "No wonder people say that cultivation doesn't know the years, I feel that it hasn't been a few days, it's been half a year!" It's useless, they haven't come to me? ”

"Mouse": "You've told you everything, don't bother if you have nothing to do, you have to retreat and cultivate, and they won't dare to disturb you if they have something!" A few days ago, Wu Jiaming left you a message on the Internet, saying that he received an invitation from Tingtao Villa, inviting you to attend the celebration ceremony of the establishment of the new board of directors. …… I think that's black talk, it should be that the new owner of Tingtao Villa has taken office, and it is that Yu Wenting. ”

Cheng Tianle was stunned and said, "What day is the ceremony?" ”

"Mouse": "It was a few days ago, on the eighteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. At that time, you sat for three days and three nights in a row, and I didn't dare to disturb, so I didn't reply to Wu Jiaming on the Internet. …… Wu Jiaming will know how to deal with it, just tell them that you are in retreat and cultivate, this is not rude. ”

In the past six months, Cheng Tianle has been in a state of practicing martial arts, and no outsiders have really disturbed him. Cheng Tianle turned off the original mobile phone and replaced it with a new mobile phone. Only his parents knew, and they called several times to ask about his life and work. He also left the contact information on the Internet, but Huang Sheng and Yi Bin and others never left a word, and in the end he forgot to look at it again. As a result, the invitation was missed.

Cheng Tianle asked again: "It's about to be a National Day holiday, right?" ”

"Mouse" asked rhetorically: "What does it have to do with you whether you have a holiday or not?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "I promised my parents that if I want to go back during the National Day holiday, it's time to go to the street to buy something." ”

"Mouse": "You've finally decided to get out?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "Yes, it should also be out of the customs!" The realm has arrived, and there is no need to sit blindly and dryly, so I will go out for a walk today, and first go to the alley to eat a meal of shrimp poached eggs. …… If you think about it, it's been so many days. I haven't eaten and only drank tea for two months! ”

Cheng Tianle finally walked out of the house from the gate for the first time in half a year, and he occasionally had to replenish his daily necessities in the past six months, but he needed very little, and the total number of times he left the house was no more than ten times, and they all went out from the side alleys over the wall. The old-fashioned heavy door with fireproof bricks opened from the inside, startling the two neighbors who were passing by, and they almost didn't sit on the ground with their legs, thinking that it was haunted in broad daylight. The result is really one person and one "ghost".

Cheng Tianle locked the door and walked towards the alley, while the "mouse" floated behind him, watching the two stunned passers-by stealing fun. One of the benefits of a half-year retreat. is that the "mouse" can completely hide the traces under normal circumstances, and there is no need to be sealed in the Quchi cave when going out with Cheng Tianle.

In the "time-honored" small restaurant at the entrance of the alley, Cheng Tianle asked for a few dishes and a bottle of beer, and ate it deliciously, which made people feel very fragrant, and couldn't help but want to drool, and secretly said in his heart What good things are this people eating? Cheng Tianle has cultivated the Bigu Introductory Method, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a appetite, the body has been purified and purified, and he will feel more delicious and better absorbed when he eats. Just like a monk who has gone through the test of the ** calamity, he still has the desire to love. And because the mood is clear, you can enjoy the thrill of pleasure more.

When checking out, the boss asked with a smile: "Brother, are you engaged in art?" ”

Cheng Tianle was slightly stunned, raised his head and said, "How can you see it?" I did study art. ”

The boss is still the same boss, but he doesn't know Cheng Tianle anymore. Maybe he hadn't seen it for a long time, and there were so many guests coming and going in the restaurant every day, and it was unlikely that he would remember all the people, he replied in a slightly exaggerated tone: "Look at your temperament, like an artist!" ”

Cheng Tianle didn't say much, and replied with a smile, "Thank you!" And he got up and departed. When I returned home and looked in the mirror, I realized why the boss didn't know me anymore and asked him if he was engaged in art. He hadn't had a haircut for half a year, and although he still habitually shaved every day, his hair had never been cut, and it grew faster than usual, and it was draped over his shoulders.

Cheng Tianle looked at the hidden direction of the "mouse" in the mirror, and asked with some confusion: "It turns out that my hair is already so long, I can go to advertise for shampoo!" I've been washing every day for half a year, and I've been looking in the mirror a lot, so why haven't I noticed? ”

"Mouse" asked curiously: "Hey, can you see me in the mirror?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "I don't have to look to know where you are!" Cultivating the exterior scene, the internal breath, and the valley, the Yuan Shen Yuan Qi is still in the middle of the natural ability to perceive all things, let alone you? …… I'm talking about hair, why didn't you notice it? ”

The "mouse" showed a translucent figure and pouted: "Hair doesn't grow in a day, you see it every day, it doesn't matter if you notice it or not." In the past six months, you have been in a trance, cultivating the exterior of the Yuan Shen, such as heaven and earth are my body, will you pay attention to the beard of heaven and earth? It is as natural as the sun and the moon. ”

Cheng Tianle nodded and said, "Oh, listening to what you said, it seems to be confirmed!" ”

"Mouse": "Nonsense, I've been practicing for the past six months, but I'm not as stupid as you are, like you've lost your soul all day long." ”

Cheng Tianle smiled: "Yes, you lost yourself in practice, and others can't see it." Then he found a string, tied his hair back in a ponytail, turned around and asked, "Do I look like an artist?" ”

The rat replied, "Like, too much!" It's even more like going out to do performance art or playing hooligan or something. ”

Cheng Tianle: "Mouse, you know more and more, and you still know performance art?" ”

During the 2014 National Day Golden Week, Cheng Tianle was the parents who went home with half-length hair and ponytails. Before going home, he also deliberately bought a modern Chinese suit, with a fashionable atmosphere of returning to tradition, the whole look has changed, and the confident bearing is completely different.

When I got home, my mother almost didn't dare to recognize it at first sight, and she was stunned for a long time before she exclaimed: "Lele, you have grown up!" …… What do you do with braids, do you want to be an artist? ”

Cheng Tianle replied with a smile: "I am busy with work, and I don't have much time for a haircut." …… Besides, I'm an art major, so don't I just change my hairstyle and clothes? ”

Mom shook her head and said, "No, no, no, the spirit is completely different!" So handsome, so handsome, worthy of being my son! ”

These words made Cheng Tianle almost blush, and quickly shook his head and said, "It's over, Mom, you're exaggerating." …… Well, I think I'm pretty handsome, too! ”

Cheng Tianle stayed at home for seven days, and whenever someone asked him what he did, he said that he was working as a creative director for a real estate company. This is not bragging, as long as he is willing, the company under the name of Yi Bin or Li Li is happy to send such a letter of appointment. Relatives and friends are all bright-eyed when they see Cheng Tianle again, and no one will treat him as the stupid boy who didn't make it two years ago, and he feels a little bit like he has returned home.

After the long holiday, Cheng Tianle took a plane to Shanghai and then transferred to the high-speed rail back to Suzhou, and made a phone call to inform Wu Jiaming before going back, asking him to gather the demons to wait at the Dream Lake Beauty Frog Hotel, and after not meeting for so long, it was time to have a meeting.

When Cheng Tianle walked into the hotel, he didn't even recognize Wu Xiaoxi, who was standing in front of the door, and asked with a smile: "Hello sir!" Do you have any reservations? ”

Cheng Tianle smiled and asked, "What, won't you let me eat without a reservation?" ”

Wu Xiaoxi realized that it was Cheng Tianle, jumped over and grabbed his arm with an exclamation, and said, "Mr. Cheng, when did you become so stylish?" Your pigtails are so chic! ”

This shout alarmed the waiters in the restaurant, and they all ran out to see the excitement, and even Master Fan ran out of the back kitchen with a big spoon. Cheng Tianle smiled bitterly: "What is there to watch, I'm not a giant panda?" ”

Master Fan glared and said, "Shibei San, you should be impressed every day!" You haven't been here for more than half a year, I almost can't recognize it, what a big boss's pie this has to be? ”

At this time, someone laughed and said: "This is not the big boss's faction, it's the master's faction." When I looked up, Wu Yanqing and others also came down from upstairs.

Cheng Tianle was speechless, didn't he just have a braid? As for everyone's reaction, is it so exaggerated!

But he can also perceive the changes in himself, that is, the Yuan Shen has become very clear, which is not the same as the extremely sensitive state when he experienced the Tribulation and the Dan Fire Tribulation, but as soon as his mind moves, he will naturally sense the qiē observation he sees clearly. This intuition is so clear, so clear that it has reached a kind of limit, and even vaguely feels that something is not good.

Why is it not good? This is a contrast between perception and ability, to make a more extreme analogy, a person can see everything very clearly, and even see bullets flying towards him, but he can't dodge, his body can't keep up with perception, behavior can't keep up with thinking, and it will indeed be a little uncomfortable.
