012, on the road
Three days later, on the official road, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping.
The one sitting in the carriage was naturally Lingyu.
At dawn the next day, she acted according to the plan, hid her baggage, changed her clothes, took the money, and went to the town to rent a carriage. As the former No. 1 affiliated town in the world, Baishui Town is still quite large, and no one doubts her origin. After that, she bought a lot of things, hid her baggage in them, claimed to be a gift to her own cultivator, and rented a carriage by the way.
In fact, the key to such a smooth lĂŹ is still that degree. The golden light is glittering, and it cannot be faked, and the coachman is just a mortal, and he believes it at a glance. And her reason was that her son-in-law accidentally left out Du Mu, and she had to send it over quickly.
Although there are many unreasonable things in her, such as sending such an important thing, and no adult has come forward or anything, in front of Du Mu, it is not a problem.
Who in the world doesn't know that now it is the world of Taoism, the state religion is Taoism, and the national teacher is a Taoist, especially the disciples of the various Taoist temples, who do not pay taxes or pay food and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the government, and there is also the imperial court to worship, and the status is not comparable to that of ordinary officials.
No one dared to offend the Taoist priest, especially the coachman, who knew that her purpose was Xuanyuanguan.
Leaving Baishui Mountain, Lingyu inquired cautiously, only to know that the Xuanyuan Temple is one of the three great avenue temples in the world. I didn't expect the master to come so big, Lingyu was taken aback.
There are three great views in the world, and she only knows that the first view is the Wuji view, but she doesn't know the other two views. In the past, when they cultivated the Tao, they were confused and had no clear goal, and Xuan Chenzi taught them strictly, except for reciting Taoist scriptures and explaining morality, he did not teach them anything, and the common sense of cultivation of Lingyu was very lacking.
Such an accident happened this time, forcing Lingyu to face the world by herself.
She has seen the power of a monk, and she also has the qualifications to become a monk, and she has also carried a promise to Xuanchenzi, and has obtained the immortal book left by the ancestor of the Cheng family, and it is absolutely impossible to be a wanderer. And to become a monk, she still has a lot to learn.
Ordinary people can't get any important news, but they can know some common sense.
For example, the three great avenues of the world are the Wuji View, the Taizhen View, and the Xuanyuan View. Dayan has been established for hundreds of years, the Three Great Dao Temple has never changed, and the position of the national teacher is only left to the Three Great Dao Temple.
That night, knowing that the master was actually a monk, Lingyu believed the judgment of Scarlet Cloud and the others, and the master should not be a wild Taoist priest - even in the Great Dao View, not everyone can become a monk, let alone a master with such a powerful talisman. It's just that she didn't expect that the master was not only not a wild Taoist priest, but also from the Xuanyuan Temple, one of the three great Taoist temples!
The disciple of Xuanyuanguan, who has been incognito for decades, is willing to be a wild Taoist, and the picture is not small, from the appearance of Scarlet Cloud and others, the batch of goods in Baishuiguan must be amazing. If it weren't for the four people who inadvertently found Chu Guogong's codex, it wouldn't be long before this batch of goods really went into Xuan Chenzi's pocket.
It's a pity that he fell short, not only did he not get the treasure, but he also took his life. The most helpless thing is that the cause of his death can't be told to Xuanyuanguan, let Shimen avenge him - Lingyu is not stupid, she was born in one of the Three Great Dao Temples, but when she was dying, she didn't ask her to tell Shimen the cause of death, Xuanchenzi obviously didn't want Shimen to know. Also, if Xuan Yuanguan knew the cause of his death, wouldn't it be to explain the problem of the treasure hidden by the Duke of Chu? This is troublesome to say, and it is a very strict fault for the strict management of the Great Dao Concept, and what is directly affected is her apprentice of Xuan Chenzi - oh, no, Zheng Tongxuan's apprentice.
Moreover, she can't pull Scarlet Yun, Gongsun Yan and others in, no matter how she lacks common sense, she also knows that these two people can't confront Xuanyuanguan, in case they are forced to be anxious and tell the matter of the hidden treasure, she is still unlucky.
Therefore, in the past two days, she has thought about it, the cause of Xuan Chenzi's death must not be said, and she must make up a good reason to round this matter.
Lingyu leaned against the wall of the car, thinking about things on her stilted legs, while touching the fruit from the basket next to her to eat.
It's good to have money, look, how leisurely it is to travel.
After eating the fruit, she picked up her true net worth from the baskets and boxes full of carts.
The big burden had been dismantled and hidden in a small wooden box. She didn't dare to go back to Baishuiguan, there was nothing there, these boxes were all bought by her. In order to pretend, she bought half-used boxes, so that it would not be too conspicuous to take to Xuanyuanguan.
A wooden sword, a money bag, a night pearl, a few jade bottles, a few, and some miscellaneous things. Not much, she cleaned all these things. Before going down the mountain, she pondered and pondered, and felt that it was best not to bring the things that should be Xiude and Ji Xiuming with her, so as not to be recognized and add to the trouble. Therefore, she simply lost their wooden swords, and the money and the money bags, and everything that could be recognized was lost by her.
And the things that are easy to hide and important, she put them all on her body. For example, the books and degrees given by Xuan Chenzi, the books in the mezzanine of the clothes that were searched later, the thin silk in Ying Xiude's shoes, a few spirit runes, and the three flying knives, these things, plus the so-called "fairy book", fortunately, these books are not thick, otherwise the clothes are thin in summer, where would she hide the three?
Cheng Yue's autobiography in the fairy book was burned by her, and she knew when she thought about it that if this thing was discovered by others, her little life would be over.
Speaking of which, the piece of paper left by Cheng Yue contains a lot of information, and with Lingyu's current age, he can't fully understand it. However, one thing is clear, Cheng Yue comes from another world, a world that is bigger than the current world.
Lingyu couldn't help but be fascinated when she thought of this. The masters in the mouths of these monks are actually just people who do nothing and do nothing to cultivate in that world, what kind of grand world is that? Master, they fought for the treasure of death or life, and in the eyes of this Duke of Chu, it was nothing more than that.
- By the way, Xianshi is a descendant of the Fan family, that is, after the original Great Qin royal family, and the ancestor of the Cheng family was killed by the Fan royal family, isn't she and Xianshi enemies?
As soon as this thought passed through Lingyu's mind, she kicked it into a corner. Forget it, it's all thousands of years ago, the ancestors at that time, what did it matter to her and Xianshi? Does she want to turn against the fairy stone for this so-called hatred? She's not sick in the head.
Throwing the messy thoughts out of her mind, Lingyu picked up the money bag and looked at it curiously for a while. This money bag is Xuanchenzi, dusty, but it is made of fur, and the most wonderful thing is that she can't open it even after many methods.
Perhaps, what seal is on it? Lingyu thought so. The cultivation realm is really a magical world, with spells, magic weapons, spirit runes, elixirs, seals, and many strange things.
Starting from Whitewater, the journey was smooth sailing, without any pursuers.
In the past few days, Lingyu nested in the carriage, holding the books left by Ying Xiude and Ji Xiuming, and read them with relish.
The one in the mezzanine of Xuan Chenzi's clothes is his talisman experience, talisman this thing, Lingyu has no foundation, and he can't understand it. The thin silk that Ying Xiude hid in his shoes used the strange words on the meter, and she couldn't understand it. Fortunately, they still had a few basic exercises and miscellaneous books on them, so she flipped through the miscellaneous books and pondered the exercises.
In the past three years with Xuan Chenzi, Lingyu has been forced to memorize countless Taoist scriptures, Ying and Ji are disciples of Xianglinguan, the same are Taoist priests, and the exercises they practice cannot be separated from the Taoist scriptures, so it is not difficult for her to understand.
The exercises practiced by Ying Xiude are called "The Nine Heavens and Clear Clouds Sutra", and the first step is to meditate cross-legged, turn the five hearts to the sky, get rid of distracting thoughts, and enter into visualization. In the preface, it is said that the progress of this exercise is not fast, and ordinary people have to visualize it for a year or two before they can cultivate the first true element. But after practice, it gradually gets better, and rarely encounters bottlenecks.
Ji Xiuming's exercises are called "Heart Yang True Solution". Seeing the cover, Lingyu almost thought that she was dazzled, Ji Xiuming's sharp voice said that his cultivation of "Heart Yin True Solution" was almost the same, and she didn't know the reason until she read the content inside.
As the name suggests, "Heart Yang True Solution" cultivates yang energy. Among the five organs, the heart and lungs are yang, the heart is the yang of yang, and the qi of heart yang is the most vigorous yang energy of the human body, restraining yin and evil, and gathering can hurt the enemy. However, the harmony of yin and yang is the principle of heaven and earth, and once it is out of balance, there will be problems. The cultivation method of "Heart Yang True Solution" is to cultivate the heart and yang qi and preserve it separately. This exercise advances very quickly, but it is easy to travel for business, and once the qi of the heart and yang is not controlled, it will hurt itself. Ji Xiuming's situation is that yin and yang are out of balance, most of the heart and yang qi are transferred away, and he himself is yin and yang.
Lingyu shook her head after seeing it, although she has always liked to go sideways, but in terms of cultivating the exercises, she felt that it was better to follow the right path. After all, shortcuts are just small paths, and once you take the wrong path, it is not easy to turn back, but there are more options for taking the right path.
Just like the homework arranged by the master, she will use various methods to be lazy, but she will never escape by memorizing scriptures and copying books, because this is the focus of the master's attention. As long as she memorizes the scriptures well and copies the scriptures properly, the master will turn a blind eye to other things.
If you want to cultivate, it's the same, talisman or something, you can go off the rails, and you must not be greedy for merit.
In addition to these two exercises, there are also some miscellaneous books, or records of the worldly customs, or about the concept of Taoism, as well as miscellaneous anecdotes, and Lingyu has turned them all over.
Before worshiping Xuan Chenzi as a teacher, Lingyu's favorite place to go was the teahouse theater, the teahouse could listen to stories, the theater could watch big plays, and she liked to listen to stories, but she couldn't recognize a few words. After following Xuan Chenzi, he was forced to memorize the scriptures and copy the book, which can be regarded as enlightenment. But given the choice, she'd rather sneak out and play than read. It was only at this time that she saw such a world, the same world as the one in the drama script, and she became interested in the books that recorded it.
Lingyu flipped through the books with great interest all the way, and before she knew it, the carriage passed through Fancheng and arrived at Yincheng. ()
