Chapter 32: The Imperial City and the Border Village

In the early spring forest, everything is slowly reviving from the dead silence of winter, and the breath of spring is spreading rapidly from somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Branches of trees are full of buds, fish and shrimp swim in the river, and moss on the ground seems to have moved from the ground to the ground overnight. A man and a woman came up from the forest path. The boy is about 17 years old, and the girl is about 8 or 9 years old when she lies on the boy's back.

This man and woman were Mu Feng and Qingluan, and they stayed in the space opened up by Master Qingluan for more than ten days. Qingluan has successfully transformed into a two-year-old person, and Qingluan's appearance was about 6 years old at the beginning, and after the transformation was successful, it seemed to grow two years out of thin air. Mu Feng: "Qingluan, how old are you?" Qingluan took a bite of the jerky, and said vaguely while chewing: "I won't tell you, guess what?" Mu Feng thought for a while and said: "It is said that spirit birds have a long lifespan, and I estimate that you are one or two hundred years old." Qingluan: "Phew!, you're only one or two hundred years old." I'm one year old. ”

Mu Feng almost fell down when he heard this, and Qingluan accidentally sent the jerky to his nose. Qingluan: "Brother Mufeng, what are you doing? You are still a master of gathering energy, and you almost fell down when you walked." Mu Feng: "You are now a person from the Huagang Realm, and you don't want me to carry it on your back." Qingluan: "Who asked you not to tell me about the Transformation Grass and the Transformation Pill, it hurt me for more than ten days, and you have to carry me for as long as I hurt." ”

The Taoist in Tsing Yi seemed to have known that Qingluan would definitely not take the transformation grass so painfully when she saw her sister's transformation, so he left a jade slip for her. The divine thoughts in the jade slip have been printed a long time ago, and if it were someone else's view, there would be a refining method for the Transformation Pill and a refining method for the Pill that assisted the Transformation Pill. But if Qingluan sees it for himself, there will be an order from the master. For the master's order, Qingluan had to obey no matter how unwilling he was. So Qingluan asked Mu Feng to help him check the jade slip.

In the Jade Slip, the Taoist in Tsing Yi talked in detail about the process of transformation, and the reason why there is pain is because the transformation is really the transformation into a human form. All birds and beasts that have opened their minds have the opportunity to take on human form. However, the process of transformation is also a process of reorganization of the body, and this reorganization process can be carried out only after cultivation reaches a certain level, or with the help of elixirs that assist in transformation, but this process has to endure great pain, not only physically but also mentally.

It is difficult to estimate the realm of Qingluan, which appears to be in human form, but after taking shape, it will directly enter the realm of gathering qi. Because the process of Qingluan opening spiritual wisdom will also go through the Dao realm. There is a big difference between the understanding of all things in heaven and earth after opening the spiritual wisdom and acting in obedience to instinct before the opening, and the physical and mental state of the spiritual mind is completely different after the spiritual wisdom is opened. Therefore, after transformation, it can go straight into the gathering of qi. But Qingluan's transformation process is not ordinary, and her transformation goes through two processes. Later, in the process of complete transformation, she experienced a double test of body and mind, and her grasp of the spiritual breath of heaven and earth was one step further than that of directly entering the gathering of qi. So after she finished transforming, she went straight to the realm of transformation.

"You're only one year old? How is this possible, you were about 6 years old when I first met you, and now you are 8 years old. Mu Feng said. "I've only been transformed into a human for less than a month, how can I not say that I am one year old?" Mu Feng was speechless: It turns out that you calculated it like this. , Mu Feng carried Qingluan on his back and chatted while walking, but the speed of the journey was extremely fast. Thinking about the beginning, when Mu Feng first entered the gathering of energy, he could walk like a fly with Yuan Qingshan's big man on his back, and now it is naturally very easy to carry Qingluan on his back.

In the evening, Mu Feng and Qingluan rushed to Tianyuan City. Instead of forests, there are scattered villages around Tian Yuan City. Some of these villages are one or two miles away from Tianyuan City, while others are more than ten miles away. In the afterglow of the setting sun, smoke rises from many villages. Mu Feng and Qingluan chose a nearby village to spend the night. It is estimated that it is unlikely to enter the city today, and at this time everyone is almost resting, and the city gate is probably closed.

Early the next morning, Mu Feng and Qingluan said goodbye to the family where they stayed yesterday. Carrying simple bags, Mu Feng and Qingluan entered Tianyuan City. Tian Yuan City is about the size of five Sunset Cities, and there are about 10 million people living inside and outside the city. Tianyuan City is a rare imperial city in the Tianyan Continent. There are many sects in the city, and the headquarters of the Medicine Alliance and the Instrument Sect are in Tianyuan City. There is a world-famous academy in the city, and it can be said that this academy is the core of Tianyuan City. Because before Tianyuan City was established, this academy already existed. As more and more people entered the academy to study, the prototype of Tianyuan City gradually appeared.

There is a master in the academy, and everyone knows that this master is the founder of the academy. Before the establishment of the academy, the master traveled around the mainland, punishing the evil and promoting the good in case of injustice. What is sought is not for fame or profit, and with the Master's travels, the world knows the existence of such a person. The Master acted reasonably, and the world admired him, and many people followed him during his travels, and more and more people knew about the Master's reputation.

Later, the master established a academy in the place where Tianyuan City was located, and taught apprentices extensively. No matter who the master can teach, it can be said that there is no class of teaching. Of course, there are also people with ill intentions who want to ruin the Master's reputation, so they study with the Master, and then they want to use the Master's students to cause trouble and do evil. The Master taught students not to care who they were, but only to see whether their words and deeds were appropriate. If a student does not listen to the admonition, the Master beats him with a ruler. The consequences of the ring ruler hitting the body are different. There are those who have been sealed and cultivated, and there are those who have been beaten into the Dao realm, and all these are just a few. As for those with ill intentions, they generally can't hide it from their masters, so a precept is indispensable. And then everybody knows that there is something wrong with these people's behavior. Most of the people who were beaten also rested their suspicious hearts and followed the Master with peace of mind in order to mend their ways. However, the Master did not use the ruler lightly.

Mu Feng had heard of such a person as the master before he came to Tianyuan City, but Mu Feng didn't know if the rumors he heard were true. This time, Tianyuan City is to inquire about the whereabouts of Shennong Valley, and the second is to see if there is an opportunity, and I want to meet this master. After the two entered the city, they found that a wall separated them seemed to be two worlds. Outside the city, such as a mountain village, although there are voices, but not noisy. The city is lively and vibrant, with teahouses, restaurants, shops and hotels lining the streets. The roads are wide and full of pedestrians. Mu Feng and Qingluan thought that Sunset City was already very prosperous, but when they entered Tianyuan City, they found that there was no most prosperous, only more prosperous.

Very far away from Tian Yuan City, there is a small valley called Baicao Valley. On this day, Qing'er took the flute sent by Mu Feng and came to the valley mouth to sit by the Qingshui River. Looking at the road that stretched into the distance, it seemed that she had been hoping that Mu Feng would suddenly appear on the road, and then slowly walk towards her. Every day, Qing'er will come to this place to look at the end of the road in the distance, looking forward to Mu Feng's early return.

After watching it for a while, Qing'er was full of sadness. Raised his head slightly and looked at the sky: Brother Mu Feng, are you okay? Do you know that Qing'er is thinking about you? Brother Mu Feng, I miss you so much. Qing'er closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. After closing her eyes and pondering for a while, Qing'er walked to the willow tree where Mu Feng used to be in a daze by the river, touched the willow tree, and then raised the flute and closed her eyes and began to play. Listening to the flute, there is always a trace of mourning, a concern.

At this time, a woman dressed in white came from the other side of the river, listening to Qing'er's flute and looking at the tears on Qing'er's face. Shook his head helplessly and said, "Alas, idiot, idiot." Qing'er didn't notice that someone on the other side was paying attention to her, and she was still playing the flute. The woman in white suddenly noticed something unusual, as the sound of the flute diverged, birds kept flying from a distance and landed on the willow tree, and the fish in the river gradually gathered towards the willow tree.

The sound of the flute gradually dissipated, and some birds flew away in pairs, and some fish swam away in pairs. Qing'er looked up at the birds in the willow tree and said, "If you don't blow today, you guys should go quickly." The birds seemed to understand Qing'er's words and flew away. Qing'er didn't know why so many birds came to listen to her flute, and Qing'er didn't notice it at first. Later, Xiao Xue'er came out to play with Qing'er, and told Qing'er when she saw this scene. Only then did Qing'er discover that her flute sound could attract birds.

The woman in white floated across the river and came to Qing'er's side. Qing'er realized that there was an extra person next to her. I couldn't help but be a little frightened, and when I saw that it was a young lady Qing'er, I relaxed my guard: "Hello girl, may I ask you what's the matter?" The woman in white: "I passed by here and heard your flute sound, and I thought it was very beautiful, so I stopped and listened for a while." Who did you learn this flute from?"

Qing'er said gloomily: "I learned it from my brother Mufeng." The woman in white: "Where is your brother Mufeng? He can also attract a hundred birds and a phoenix?" Qing'er was a little sad: "I don't know, I haven't seen Brother Mufeng for a long time." The woman in white said: "Alas, the most difficult thing in the world to hear, the most beautiful and the most complicated is the heart sound. You can turn your heart into a flute, and that's a rare talent. ”

Qing'er said: "I don't quite understand, every time I think about Brother Mu Feng, I want to play a song with a flute, hoping that Brother Mu Feng can hear my flute in an unknown place." I hope he can be safe and return soon. The woman in white said: "It's really an idiot, but it is precisely because of your infatuation that you can sing in harmony with all things and attract a hundred birds and phoenixes." I am from Tianyin Valley, Tianyin Valley is in the northern snowfield, gathering the three sounds of heaven, earth and man, and studying the hearts of the people in the world. As the woman in white said this, Qing'er noticed that the world around her seemed to change. For example, the woman in white said Tianyin Valley, Qing'er felt that she was in Tianyin Valley, and she could see the flowers and plants in the valley moving with the wind. The woman in white said about the snowfield, and Qing'er saw the snow falling, and the world was white. As for the white woman, she said that heaven, earth and man are three times, and the hearts of the people in the world are sound. Qing'er is completely lost in the hearts of heaven, earth, people, and all beings. At this moment, Qing'er seemed to feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world.

I don't know how long it took, Qing'er's eyes turned from blurry to clear. The woman in white was shocked to see Qing'er sober up so quickly: This girl is so awake in my Sancai sound array, it's really amazing. Be sure to introduce me to Tianyin Valley, her future achievements will definitely be above mine. When Qing'er woke up, she held the flute and hugged her chest with both hands. He was very wary of the woman in front of him: "What did you just do to me? I don't like that. The woman in white said: "This is the three-talent sound array of Tianyin Valley's assessment disciples, according to the different cultivation of the people who set up the formation, the time taken by the people who entered the formation to change from chaos to Qingming is different, you are talented, I want to accept you as my disciple." ”

Qing'er: "What kind of formation should you really use on a type of person, they must all be more talented than me." The woman in white knew that Qing'er was a little dissatisfied with her offense just now, but Qing'er was kind-hearted, so what she said just now was just to mock herself. However, the woman in white didn't care, because she decided that Qing'er must take her as an apprentice. Woman in White: "Do you mean deaf people by that type?"

Qing'er didn't speak, just looked at her, but the meaning was obvious. The woman in white said, "My eldest apprentice is deaf, and he is also the one with the best talent and the highest cultivation among all the disciples at present. She has a very good talent, because she is deaf, so she listens attentively and is also the most good at understanding heart sounds. If you meet her, you'll love her. Qing'er said: "I don't, I only like one person." The woman in white said: "You haven't seen her yet, how do you know that you won't like her, she is also a woman." ”

Qing'er blushed a little when she heard the words of the woman in white. The woman in white said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, during this time, I will stay in the forest on the other side of the river." Wait until you understand what Tianyin Valley is before making a decision. And if you are successful in cultivation, you can go to your brother Mu Feng, although I don't know who he is. But the person who can make you remember must be extraordinary, and maybe he will need your help in the future. ”

Qing'er was a little moved when she heard the end: "It's just spring, how cold is it for you to live in the woods opposite." Or you will come with me into the valley. "With the cultivation of the woman in white, she was able to come to the Valley of Hundred Grass from other places, and her clothes were thin and she didn't bring anything for her travel. Ordinary words can be arranged between the sound array, which makes people lost, which shows that its cultivation is bound to be good. The cold and heat of the outside world should have no effect on her. However, Qing'er was kind, she naturally wouldn't refuse, so she followed Qing'er into the valley.

Qing'er took the woman in white to Baicaolu and said to her: "This is my brother Mufeng's home, you can stay here for the time being, I will not leave Baicao Valley, I will wait here for Brother Mufeng to come back." After speaking, he ignored the woman in white and went straight out. The woman in white looked around and saw that it was spotless, which showed that she was extremely diligent in cleaning on weekdays.

After a while, Qing'er came back again. Carry a futon with you, and a little girl with a plate. Qing'er said: "This is Xiao Xue'er, there are quilts and food here." You can just do it first. I've already said hello to the people in the valley, and you can move around as you please. But please don't damage the stuff here. Otherwise, Brother Mu Feng won't like it when he comes back. You have a good rest, I won't bother. ”

The woman in white stood silently for a while, and said in her heart: "Women are infatuated and often have a short life. This girl doesn't leave Brother Mufeng for three sentences, this is not good. I've got to figure out how to ······."
