174. [173] The body cannot cure the mind
"Then what have you sect leaders been busy with lately? Would you like to meet him? Mu Chen finished nibbling on a chicken leg, stretched out his tongue and licked his small mouth, saying this casually.
Hongling's face was embarrassed: "I'll ask the sect leader next time we meet, but his whereabouts are erratic, it's not that you can see him if you want to, and even if you see him, he won't necessarily agree." ”
"It's okay, let's try it."
These days are a bit dull, the Qinglong Army seems to have not attacked the ghost city again because of the burning of the granary, and the Central Plains army did not act rashly, because of Gao Yuan's analysis, the reason why the Qinglong Army is in that position and does not attack easily is because the geographical location is higher, and the defense of the Qinglong Army is extremely advantageous, and if the Central Plains army wants to attack them, it must pass through a low-lying place, which is easy to be ambushed, so the Central Plains Army must reverse the disadvantage, and must wait for a favorable time in the absence of geographical advantages.
And Mu Chen avoided Su Wuxie, Hongling always deliberately avoided Gao Yuan, and Gao Yi misunderstood that Mu Chen and Ren Shaotian were a couple, and always made fun of them intentionally or unintentionally, and the whole atmosphere was very low-pressure.
Only when one person walked to an open place, Mu Chen felt a moment of respite.
She began to get used to the boredom when she walked to the highest hill near the barracks, condescending, looking at the sky, nothing could block the view, everything could be seen, real, every wind and grass, could not escape her eyes.
Reach out and it feels like ...... One hand can hold the world.
She is not a person who wants to control the world, she just doesn't like the feeling that things are out of control, just like love, always unpredictable, thinking that she has reached out to it, but after reaching out, she realizes that everything is an illusion.
Sometimes, she would sit there, enjoying the rare relaxation of her heart, emptying her mind for a long time.
"Alone, it's too lonely, isn't it?" Behind him came Yao's voice.
"Loneliness is sometimes a pleasure." Mu Chen still sat there looking into the distance, didn't look back, just moved his mouth.
"I heard you were looking for me?" Yao sat down beside Mu Chen, still wearing the black gauze hat that was just big enough to cover his face.
"Well, I want to thank you in person." Mu Chen turned his head sideways and smiled at him.
"Thanks for what?" Yao's words were faint, as if he was a little smiling, but he didn't seem to have it.
"If you hadn't made Hongling put some magic elixir on my food, my body wouldn't have recovered so quickly. So, of course, it's your credit. ”
"Really? In my opinion, this medicine is not miraculous at all, because it heals your body, but it does not heal your heart. Yao's tone was faintly sad.
Mu Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, reluctantly smiled back, pretending not to understand: "What are you talking about?" My heart has always been good and I don't need to be cured. ”
"Oh? If I'm fine, how can I sit here for most of the day without noticing me? It turns out that Yao has been here for a long time, "Don't you want to say that the scenery here is beautiful, you are already drunk just by looking at it, right?" ”
"Can't you? The scenery here is very good. Although the surroundings are not peerless, Mu Chen feels that it is already very good to be able to make the body and mind comfortable.
"Okay, Miss Mu can say anything." Yao was a little teasing.
Mu Chen grimaced at him, too lazy to bother with him, she still had something very important to ask: "Okay, don't talk about this, in fact, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, you and Long Aotian both have magical powers, listen to Long Aotian said, that is spiritual power, how did you practice it?" Can I practice? ”
Seeing her sincere and clear eyes looking at herself, Yao was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "This spiritual power is innate, and I don't know why I have it." When I was young, I thought I liked martial arts very much, but at that time I didn't feel that I had any unusual strength, until one day I ......"
He paused, as if he had an unspeakable past: "Until one day, a major event happened at home, I felt from extreme anger that a force appeared in my body that I could not suppress, and since then I found out that I have this strange power, and then I have more contact with the rivers and lakes, only to know that they call this strange power spiritual power." ”
While listening, Mu Chen thought to himself, Long Aotian and Yao both have such powerful spiritual power, they are from the goddess through the time, there is no reason why they can't bring down any divine power, could it be that Long Aotian said that she has spiritual power that has not been awakened, that is, her own divine power as a goddess, and she has not been awakened because she still lacks an opportunity?
It seems that Yao, his spiritual power is awakened under extreme anger, so does she also have to create an opportunity for extreme anger to awaken the spiritual power in her body?
"Actually, I can feel that you also have spiritual power in you." Yao seemed to know what she was thinking, "But I can't help you open it, so I can only wait for the time to come, and it will appear when it's time to appear." ”
"Oh." Mu Chen was a little lost, but also a little thoughtful.
"But at the moment, I can teach you some pranayama methods, and with the medicine I let Hongling take, your body will recover faster, and your internal strength will be more solid."
"Okay." If you don't get watermelon, it's good to pick up a sesame seed, anyway, internal strength is Mu Chen's relatively weak aspect, so it doesn't hurt to learn more.
Moreover, in an open environment, the air is a little better, and the effect is a little greater.
However, pranayama takes time, so Mu Chen left the camp for a long time today, and Ren Shaotian went to her several times but didn't find it, so he was a little anxious.
He returned to the crowd listlessly.
Su Wuxie, Gao Yuan, and Gao Yi were surrounding a fire, and two big chickens that were burned red were on the fire.
This chicken was sent by the people of the ghost town in the morning, saying that it was to thank the army for repelling the Blue Dragon Army.
The number of chickens was several thousand, and Gao Yuan originally wanted to report to Mu Chen and make arrangements, but the barracks were not farms, and it was very troublesome to raise a large number of raw chickens, and he couldn't find Mu Chen in the morning, so he took the initiative to divide these chickens and reward them to the soldiers, leaving only two of them to eat.
He believed that Mu Chen would not object to this treatment.
When the three of them saw that Ren Shaotian was coming back alone, they knew that they hadn't found Mu Chen yet.
"It's been a long time, where did you say the little man went?" Ren Shaotian couldn't help but be a little worried.
Gao Yuan and Gao Yi were used to Ren Shaotian calling the crown prince a dwarf, and they thought it was a nickname between intimate lovers.
"Don't worry, the prince is such a big person, and his martial arts are strong, he will be fine." Gao Yuan never knew about Mu Chen's injury, so he was very relieved about the crown prince under normal circumstances.
Gao Yi teased: "Brother, you don't understand, he is worried that the prince will be abducted by other beautiful men." As the saying goes, if you don't see him for a day, you don't see his little man for most of the day, and it's been two autumns when you convert it, can he rest assured? ”
Gao Yi, like Gao Yuan, didn't worry much about Mu Chen's safety, they agreed that there was no important task in the army for the time being, and if the prince wanted to deal with personal affairs, let alone half a day, even if it was a day or two, it was normal, and there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
However, the relationship between Ren Shaotian and the crown prince is not ordinary, so he is very nervous, which the Gao brothers also understand in their hearts.
Ren Shaotian glanced at Gao Yi: "Laugh, laugh, let's laugh, boring!" ”
"Yo? Look, Shaotian, who usually talks a lot, is speechless, which proves that I am right. Gao Yi was proud.
But after that, there was silence.
Ren Shaotian has always talked a lot, but he didn't respond again, Gao Yuan and Su Wuxian didn't agree, Gao Yi felt bored, so he had to shut up himself.
In fact, all three of them have their own thoughts.
Ren Shaotian originally wanted to find Mu Chen to eat roast chicken together, but he couldn't find it after looking for it several times, and now he is not even in the mood to eat, let alone bickering.
Gao Yuan is not a person who is good at gossiping, so most of them listen to Gao Yi's nonsense, and rarely accompany him to talk nonsense, and he only thinks about Hongling now, and he has no idea about other people's affairs at all.
And Su Wuxie, his mind and heart were full of Mu Chen, Mu Chen didn't know where to go, he was more anxious than Ren Shaotian, but he didn't express it. He has always been taciturn, so Gao Yuan and Gao Yi don't understand his inner world at all, only Ren Shaotian can see that he is anxious at a glance.
The atmosphere sank into a dreary.
After a while, Gao Yuancai's thin lips opened lightly, breaking the silence.
He asked Ren Shaotian: "Then have you ever asked Hongling about the whereabouts of the prince?" ”
"I asked, and she said she didn't know." Ren Shaotian thought to himself, if he asked, would he come back alone?
"Then why don't you call Hongling too?" It turns out that this is the point of lofty.
"I called, but she couldn't." Ren Shaotian also knew a little about Gao Yuan and Hongling, so when Hongling refused to say that he couldn't come, he didn't lobby too much.
At this moment, except for Gao Yi, the other three are all in a depressed mood.
Gao Yi looked at the roast chicken on the fire, he really didn't eat it, he didn't eat it, and it would be too much to roast it like this.
Regardless of whether he ate it or not, he still took the lead in taking down the roast chicken.
Su Wuxian finally couldn't bear it anymore: "I won't eat it, you take it slowly." ”
With that, he got up and left.
Ren Shaotian knew at a glance that he was going to find Mu Chen: "Old Su, are you going to find the little man?" But the ghost town is so big, where are you going ......?"
Before he could finish asking, Su Wuxian had already walked away.
Su Wuxian also knew that it was difficult to find aimlessly, but no matter what, it was better to look around than to sit there.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of grass ropes, during the time when he was separated from her, she was too deeply injured, and this incident was deeply engraved in his heart.
So now, as long as she disappeared a little longer, he couldn't be at ease.
And Mu Chen, who was on the other side of the mountain, was too focused on practicing pranayama to know that time passed quickly.
She sat cross-legged according to Yao's guidance, and her inner breath became smoother and smoother in her body with the mental method.
After meditating for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, waved her hand, and her internal strength drove the saber beside her to automatically unsheath and float in the air.
