Chapter 14: Candles in the Cave Room
On a dark night, the moon is high and the wind is urgent.
In the Dianqing Pavilion of the palace, Li Tiantu, who was slightly drunk, felt that his face was hot, he looked at the red candle on the pear blossom log table and Yan Mengyu who was sitting quietly by the red gauze tent, and the complexity of his heart was beyond words. Having a beautiful woman as a wife seemed to be an unattainable thing for me before. It's just that now that the wood is in the boat, he knows that Yan Mengyu on the other side is just marrying himself because of the king's fate, but the heart of the beauty may not be in him.
Thinking of this, Li Tiantu's heart was bitter. People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, maybe from the beginning of his determination to challenge Gui Zhishou, his fate is no longer under his control, he has been pushed to the cusp of the dispute between the Beijing Division, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed. That's it, no matter what, whether it's true or fake, Yan Mengyu is already her wife, no matter what she does to herself, she should bear the responsibility of being a husband.
After figuring it out, Li Tiantu slowly walked up to Yan Mengyu, and unveiled the crimson dragon and phoenix Xipa on the bride's head, and Yan Mengyu's hibiscus face appeared in front of Li Tiantu's eyes.
Yan Meiren's face was joyless and carefree, calm and a little abnormal.
Li Tiantu knew that this would be the case, Yan Mengyu made it clear that he didn't want to marry him, but he just didn't give up. There are some things that you know are hopeless, but you still have to do it with hope, because it feels really good to have hope, even though you may end up with bruises.
Li Tiantu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said calmly: "You don't want me to sleep in bed today, right?" "
Yan Mengyu said coldly with a tense face: "I don't like you." You should know that there is only a disagreement between us. The emperor only wants me to marry the commander of the forbidden army, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Li Tiantu, who was swept away by the beauty's ruthless words, smiled bitterly: "Having said that, Mengyu, what you said is too direct and hurtful." ”
Li Tiantu tried his best to be calm. Yan Mengyu's indifferent attitude made Li Tiantu feel a little cold, even if he was strong enough for her, so what, what was the use of not getting her heart?
Li Tiantu tried his best to take his eyes off Yan Mengyu, who was more delicate than flowers, and pretended to be calm: "I won't force you." You sleep in the bed, and I'll sleep on the couch opposite. After saying that, he turned around without hesitation.
Yan Mengyu admired Li Tiantu a little in her heart. As a groom, with such an attitude towards him, he was able to control his emotions at this time. This man is not simple!
But Yan Mengyu still didn't dare to really sleep, she was afraid that he would suddenly get up in the middle of the night and use it against herself, she didn't think that Li Tiantu's calm attitude was natural, and she also knew how attractive she was, so she had to guard against it.
It's just that the night was fine.
When the golden sunlight shone on Li Tiantu's face through the half-open wooden window, he opened his eyes with feeling.
Glancing over the bookcase at the bed, the tabernacle hung low. A piece of pink lotus root is exposed outside the red gauze tent. Li Tiantu looked at it and was actually stunned, that time when she saw her outside the building, didn't she also use this piece of powder root to lift the curtain of the car, attracting countless passers-by to stop?
Opening the door and breathing in the fresh air unique to the early morning, Li Tiantu shook off the unpleasant burden of last night.
Li Tiantu likes the morning, and he likes everything in nature. He likes to practice at this time, his method of practicing is different from others, he likes to feel all things in nature with his heart while practicing, and he pursues the feeling of being one with nature. Although he has not yet reached it.
Yes, Li Tiantu is not purely practicing martial arts, he is taking a completely different path of martial arts from others, and what he cultivates is the ethereal Heavenly Dao.
In the Floating Cloud Concept, the old Taoist Xuanjizi only taught him a simple meditation and qi practice, and Li Tiantu's practice method was completely based on his own feelings, relying on his own step-by-step practice to figure it out, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and he didn't want to know, there was no other way than to practice.
Generally speaking, people in the rivers and lakes practice martial arts in accordance with family traditions or teacher traditions, in order to cultivate martial arts to the peak, open a sect in the world to make a name for themselves, and then to spy on the mysteries of heaven, in order to transcend the predicament or break through themselves.
But Li Tiantu's way of practicing martial arts is completely different, he started with a book, yes, this book is the "Tao Te Ching" that has always accompanied him and was well known to him.
Although Li Tiantu has been familiar with the "Tao Te Ching" since he was a child, the truth he can comprehend is still a drop in the bucket, but with the increase in the number of times he reads the book, when he reads it three thousand times, every time he finishes reading, he feels that there will always be a little more thing in his head, and he can't say what it is, but he feels that he should do something. He knew a little bit about the basic skills of internal force, and he added that little thing in his mind to the very ordinary spitting out the old and accepting the new, and he always believed that his feelings were right.
Sure enough, it's good, since that time, there has been a little more internal force in his dantian. Day and night, night and night, the savings of the dantian's internal force in the past few years can be regarded as a small success.
Heavenly Nature! The internal force that I have cultivated from this should be called the power of the Heavenly Dao! Cultivate the mind first, and then cultivate the martial arts. Li Tiantu didn't know if he was right or wrong. The people of the world today should be martial arts first and then heart, and then enter the realm with heart.
Obviously, Li Tiantu has taken a different path of martial arts from the world.
When Yan Mengyu woke up, the sun had passed the middle of the sky.
She thought too much last night, and almost sleepless all night, and then fell asleep in a daze.
She didn't want to marry an ordinary person like Li Tiantu, a small deputy commander of the Four-Rank Praetorian Guard, and she couldn't get into her eyes.
More importantly, Li Tiantu doesn't know how to chant the wind and the moon, is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has no romantic mood, he only knows how to fight and kill all day long. She hates those fights and killings, she is not the kind of woman who judges people by her appearance, Nangong Huai is not good at martial arts, which is also one of the reasons to impress her.
In front of the brass mirror near the window, Yan Mengyu was lazily combing her makeup, staring at the delicate-faced woman reflected in the bronze mirror, and she didn't feel a little distracted.
Her appearance and temperament have not changed, but the woman in the mirror has already married a woman.
Li Tiantu was a gentleman last night, and he didn't see where others were when he got up early in the morning, Yan Mengyu had mixed feelings in her heart, she was in the deep palace, and she didn't know what to do next.
She has completely handed over the affairs of Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake to her mother-in-law, and Yan Mengyu, who has unloaded her burden, obviously has nothing to do, but she does not have a sense of physical and mental relaxation.
Hastily used some breakfast sent by the palace maid, Yan Mengyu walked alone on the remote Gongxi Avenue, walked out of the palace gate, and strolled leisurely in the lively morning market near the slums in the west of Jingshi.
