Chapter 42: Ask the Heart Again
The afterglow of the slanting sun gilded his body with a layer of golden brilliance, and his posture was vigorous, like a swimming dragon, and in this ancient temple full of history, there was a sense of solemnity and sacredness.
"Silver Butterfly, are you done cultivating? Mrs. Shi just sent someone to bring a table of vegetarian food, and I will let someone serve it. ”
Yindie saw the person in front of him collect his sword and come over, although it didn't matter if he ate or not, he still nodded subconsciously and asked by the way: "Are you available?" ”
Liu Xianglian heard Yindie's question, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Waiting for you."
When Silver Butterfly saw his expression, she didn't know what he was thinking. So he asked, "Has your cultivation progressed?" ”
Liu Xianglian's face was full of joy, and she said a little embarrassedly: "There is some progress, but I still haven't been able to mobilize much aura." ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Xianglian secretly observed Silver Butterfly's face, and found that she couldn't hide the disappointment in her expression, so she continued to ask in her heart: "Silver Butterfly, is this cultivation really as powerful as the legend?" You, as well as Master Jingxu, seem to value it very much. ”
Yindie looked at Liu Xianglian's rare solemn expression, thinking that although he was still in the initial stage of invoking aura, he could be regarded as embarking on the path of cultivation, and it was nothing to let him know something.
Moreover, although he had asked him if he was willing to leave Beijing with him and if he was willing to cultivate, he never seemed to have said what he could gain from cultivation.
"Cultivation can indeed be like the legend, there is the possibility of longevity, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea. However, there is very little aura in the world now. The first stage is almost impossible, directly attracting aura from the outside into the dantian, such as Jingxu Shitai has eaten a lot of plants containing aura plus long-term accumulation, in order to have some aura to survive. ”
Yindie said and looked at Liu Xianglian, and when she saw that he was listening seriously, she continued: "And you, practicing martial arts, also have a lot of aura in your body, if you can restrain to the dantian, it is also possible to skip the first stage and directly enter the aura liquid." At this time, you can directly sense and draw aura from the outside world. ”
Liu Xianglian nodded slightly, he also had a guess about the source of the aura in his body, after all, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he had also soaked in a medicinal bath to boil his muscles and bones, and it was also appropriate to absorb some aura.
"After the spiritual qi is turned into liquid, both the senses and the body will have a comprehensive strengthening. If there is no mistake in the existing exercises of the Water Moon Temple, the people who have turned into liquid aura can live for three hundred years. ”
When Liu Xianglian heard that she could live for 300 years, her heart suddenly set off a storm. He naturally knew that Silver Butterfly had already reached this realm, so wouldn't that mean that she would be able to live for three hundred years, or even longer after cultivating to the depths of her cultivation.
"What about you?"
Silver Butterfly smiled, looked at the slightly reddened horizon in the distance, and nodded slightly. If there is no accident, maybe he can really live for 300 years, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is already a land immortal, but he feels that he has just begun.
Thinking of this, Yindie reined in and said to Liu Xianglian: "Although I have cultivated to this stage, it is really only the second stage of cultivation. Cultivation is far from being able to be completed overnight, and in the future, there may be a retreat, which is the lifetime of a mortal, but Liu Gongzi wants to continue? ”
Liu Xianglian came back from the shock, and when she heard Yindie ask, she also knew in her heart that she had rejected her mercilessly for herself at first, and then even if she seemed to accept that she was by her side, she was always concerned about cultivation. It turns out that there is so much difference between the two.
Let's not talk about whether cultivation can really have the magical power of moving mountains and reclamation, just the lifespan, she is only a hundred years, if it is a hundred years later, what should she do?
Yindie looked at Liu Xianglian, who was once again deep in thought, knowing that he understood what he meant, and did not continue to stand outside the house, but turned back to his room: "It doesn't matter if I eat or not, I'll go to cultivate, you can think about it." ”
Liu Xianglian stood alone outside the house that had been completely plunged into darkness. He has always lived a chic and uninhibited life, if he likes it, he likes it, and if he doesn't like it, he will never think about it again.
However, he knew that he liked Silver Butterfly, and he liked that she could give him a very comfortable feeling. In order to be able to be by her side, he was willing to cultivate. As for cultivation, although there is no evil feeling, there is absolutely no liking it.
So, can you really persist in cultivating? Liu Xianglian didn't know.
If you give up cultivation, then Yindie will definitely push herself far away, and at that time, it will become a luxury to want to travel with her. Even if he wants to stay by her side again, the gap between the two will be getting farther and farther apart.
"Young Master Liu, why are you standing here?" Mrs. Jingxu came over with two little nuns and food boxes.
Liu Xianglian looked at Mrs. Shi and introduced them into her room before saying, "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Shi?" ”
Seeing Liu Xianglian's bitter face, Master Jingxu avoided her own questions and didn't ask them, but said, "I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I brought two apprentices to you." This is Zhimin, Zhitong. In the future, the two donors will have something to do in the temple, and they will be instructed. ”
Liu Xianglian knew that all this was for the sake of Yindie's face, so she didn't refuse, but just thanked her, and then saw that Master Jingxu was looking at Yindie's room intentionally or unintentionally, before she opened her mouth to explain: "Yindie said that she doesn't need to eat tonight, and she is still practicing in the house." ”
When Master Jingxu heard this explanation, she nodded again and again, but her heart was even more eager for the next realm. Originally, there was still some reluctance, but it didn't seem to be so important.
Seeing off the Empress Dowager Jingxu, Liu Xianglian ate a little food casually and went back to the inner room to sleep.
Silver Butterfly was in the house, feeling all this, and sighed slightly. I don't know if this Liu Xianglian will continue to follow her cultivation, or return to the capital and follow the original trajectory of the Dream of Red Mansions.
Do you want Liu Xianglian to continue cultivating, or do you want him to recognize it and leave?
Silver Butterfly knew that her heart seemed to move. It's not about love, it's just the feeling of having someone by your side.
On the second day, Yindie pushed open the door of the house and saw Liu Xianglian in the open space at the door, walking with steps, and muttering something in a low voice.
Seeing Yindie come out, Liu Xianglian smiled, and then said, "Is Yindie girl resting well?" Why don't you listen to me sing the last paragraph? ”
Yindie saw that he was in high spirits, as if those words last night had not affected him in the slightest, and did not want to ruin his interest, so he nodded.
Liu Xianglian opened her mouth and sang babblingly.
