Chapter 80, Exploring Flowers and Recognizing the Truth
A small yellow umbrella hung on the wall behind the door, the sealing knife was placed horizontally on the table, and the noisy guests downstairs gradually left in the moonlight, and a moonlight also spilled into the house through the window lattice.
The moonlight was impartial, and it happened to be reflected in the position of the sealing knife, and the black cloth had been untied by the young man, and under the moonlight, the sharp sealing knife seemed to cut the moonlight into several pieces.
There is a paragraph that is reflected in Xu Zi'an's heart.
Water can wash away filth and purify people's hearts, and in the same way, if the moonlight is quiet enough, it can also be done.
Xu Zi'an rubbed his chest through his clothes and lowered his head in meditation.
What strange questions will come out of the first test of this year's Yuexi Exam, I am afraid that in addition to the officials in charge of the preparation of the examination by the Ministry of Rites and the Tianji Pavilion and the instructors of the various academies, of course, some powerful people should also get some rumors in advance, but the leakage of the questions will not happen, because these departments can only preliminarily select a few different assessment methods, and the person who will finally determine which method will be the national teacher of the dynasty.
The National Teacher is always with His Majesty, so how can such a person who cares about the world vent his questions for selfishness?
According to the usual practice, within a week before the start of the Yuexi test every year, the government will inform the world of the selected and finalized assessment method.
If there are no accidents, tomorrow will be the day when the imperial court will issue the first test test.
If the items of this year's Yuexi test assessment are related to the qin painting and fighting poems, the young man thought about it and felt that he could directly abstain, although he could hear that the sound of the pipa was indeed elegant, but God knows how those ghost things could be discussed, there is only one Taoist hall in the mountains, although he is also diligent and often goes, but the Taoist hall is in the deep mountains, and the collection of classics is naturally rich and has nothing to do with it。
The things he is good at happen to never be tested, because he is good at peeling fish and picking thorns, disturbing the small courtyard, and green onion noodles, although he is also good at hunting and fighting, but these are only used in the martial arts test, and they should not be used in the first test, but the problem is, no matter how naughty the national teacher who is responsible for finalizing the assessment method is, he should not give all the test children in the world a few catties of white noodles and three or two green onions to see who makes the green onion noodles delicious, so what is this Yuexi test?
After thinking about it, Xu Zi'an felt that instead of putting his hope on the first test, it was better to put it on the martial arts test, if he could get a good score in the martial arts test, there was still some hope for entering the top 100, but the problem was that now all his skills were taught by Shen Li, Shen Li was extremely coquettish and cut out a light, but the bad debts owed back then could only be handed over to him to pay back, even the butt of His Majesty Emperor Wu Shen Li may have touched it back then, this big Kyoto City, how many people did Shen Li dare not offend back then, and could not afford to offend?
The fact that Shen Li offended back then does not mean that he also has this strength and domineering.
What's more, he was fortunately immortal in his heart and was filled in by Shen Li into a dark stone, what are countless cultivators in the world practicing diligently every day? Isn't it just for the sake of destroying demons and subduing demons? Asked Yu Tian? I have inexplicably been involved with any Hades King, and may even wake up the Hades King, so isn't I the rumored spokesperson of the Hades King in the world? In other words.........
Is he the biggest demon king in the world?
Xu Zi'an inexplicably thought of the scene of a sword light that he saw in the pavilion that night, and suddenly realized that if the dark stone in his heart was discovered by the world, then that sword might stab him, and his body began to feel uncontrollable fear.
At the beginning, he didn't feel so frightened when he walked with His Royal Highness Duoduo all the way in the Daqing Mountain, maybe it was the beauty and cunning of the girl that the sun shone into his heart, and he forgot these things a little under the warmth and comfort, but now that he really broke into this Kyoto city, under the pressure of Yuexi trying to get closer and closer, he had to think and face these things.
After laughing dryly, the young man deliberately withdrew the fear in his heart, and glanced at the sealing knife on the table with some confusion.
The sealing knife is not wrapped in black cloth, and the edge is full, but it is also sharp, because the whole knife is clean and abnormal, and the crimson dark lines and engravings that appeared in Shen Li's hands that night no longer exist, as if those extremely obscure lines are just a water moon mirror flower, and now the moon is hidden and the water is dry, and the mirror flower between the water waves has dissipated without a trace.
But he remembered very well that when Shen Li got this knife, this dull knife had emitted the most bewitching red, just like the demonic light that was burned to the deepest depths, revealing the power and mystery that made people's hearts palpitate, if there was no accident, it should be the true face of this knife.
Thinking of this, the young man had a feeling of luck, fortunately there was no red light and grooves on this knife, otherwise wouldn't it be easier to expose himself?
Thinking back to the bewitching red light that amazed the whole night that night, Xu Zi'an couldn't help but be a little fascinated, the world says that the knife is crazy, I'm afraid the most crazy meaning in the world, it's just that.
It's just that when will I be able to condense the sword intent so powerfully? One knife into reincarnation, one knife to cut the Fa Yan, one knife to break the night.
It seems that he has not practiced knives for a long time, Xu Zi'an looked at this bright sealing knife, stretched out his hand and gently held the hilt, the familiar texture from the cold handle made him sober up in an instant, yes, this is not a fear of mountains, there is no fear of mountains and dense forests, this is Kyoto, but Kyoto is not another fear of mountains in some senses?
Afraid of mountains and dense forests, he relied on a knife to cut a bloody path in the mountains and forests full of wild beasts, and killed the most powerful brown bears and learned to cover up the dung with mud and rotten leaves, although Yue'er Cliff left traces of his countless jumps, but the fat of those bear paws is also very bright in the cliff, what he has to do at this time is actually very simple, where is it so complicated to think about, Bai Gongzi will never worry about the top 100 places, because he is very strong, if he is strong enough, then, he also needs to worry about these unwarranted things?
If he can become stronger, then he is not afraid of passing the first test, and there is a martial arts test that allows him to pass the assessment.
.........
It is not a loss to the inn's Tianzi room, although the space layout is elegant and luxurious, but the space is huge, the boy is in the room to practice the knife does not need to worry about whether he will not be able to open his legs and feet, or break those precious cups, the moonlight through the window, and the light will correspondingly illuminate the room, the young man dances in the room with a knife, although the tip of the knife does not pull out a few beautiful sword flowers, but the moonlight and the light cut out many colorful light and shadow.
Industry is good at diligence, absurd in play, although this sentence is very true, but it is not suitable for use everywhere in the world, for example, the young man at this time between the tip of the knife between the jerky condensation is not the boy did not practice the knife during this time and the waste is caused, this set of strange knife movements is simple, only some horizontal and vertical chopping and other actions, but the feeling of difficulty and obstacle is very clear, in front of the bonfire in Daqingshan, Duo Duo said that his knife intent is different from most of the knife intent in the world, when he suspected that it was the reason for this set of knife techniques, and now he practiced again, he naturally practiced more attentively。
Holding his breath and concentrating, this time he no longer endured the unbearable jerky feeling in his heart, but wholeheartedly felt every difference between the flow of the blade, the green mang on the tip of the knife seemed to be more refined, he remembered very clearly, when he assassinated Zhang Yiran in Bocheng, the green mang he used with all his strength at the end was just like a thin veil hazy on the tip of the knife, and now it is faintly shrouded in the entire sealing knife.
Zhang Yiran is a cultivator of the Xuan Realm, and those desolate warriors on the cliff side are also in the Xuan Realm, he almost died when he assassinated Zhang Yiran in Bocheng, and later he was able to cut off the arm of the desolate warrior with a knife on the cliffside, the body structure of the desolate clan and Dali are very different from the cultivation exercises, the body of the desolate warrior is their most powerful weapon, it is true that the knife may have a fluke element in it, which desolate warrior did not wrap his arm with the power of the beast element at that time, he could succeed, but no matter what, he always did it, and he didn't feel very difficult。
It's just that his martial arts don't seem to have improved much, why has there been such a big change? Could it be because of this increasingly refined sword intent?
After the knife was finished, he collapsed on the bed again without exception, carefully recalling the scene when he was in the pavilion.
About a cup of tea, the soreness on his body disappeared, looking at the wet sweat stains on the ground, and the small part of the burning incense, Xu Zi'an told himself with certainty that it was not the knife intent that had changed, but himself.
He is stronger than he was at the beginning, although he still has no true knowledge, nor has he felt any breath of heaven and earth, and there is still any true yuan power in his body.
At the beginning, after practicing the knife, the soreness in his body would last for about half an hour before it ended, but now it only takes a short cup of tea, which is enough to show that his body must be much stronger than it was at the beginning, and this refinement does not only refer to the surface of the body such as strength and muscles, but refers to the inside of the body.
That is, the meridians and viscera.
But shouldn't the matter of refining the meridians and viscera only happen in the first realm of the Xuan? He didn't even have the knowledge of the true primordial realm, so how could he lead the true essence of heaven and earth to refine his physique?
He inexplicably remembered the scene when he woke up after the assassination of Zhang Yiran, when his skin was as delicate as a newborn child, and he was depressed for a while because the cocoon of the knife that he had finally sharpened in his hand disappeared, and sighed that he would have to suffer the sin of grinding the cocoon again when chopping wood and hunting in the future, but at this time, it seems that the physical change should be where it is.
He remembered that he had soaked in a medicinal bath several times, and after each medicinal bath, he had eaten a green fruit, and he was very familiar with the formula of the medicinal bath, which was an ordinary herb that could be found in the mountains, and could only have the effect of activating the meridians and removing stasis, and would not change his physique.
Then, the problem can only be on that green fruit.
But the green fruit feels very ordinary, and there are no mysterious signs of overflowing light and charm, and you will feel a warm feeling after entering it, but it will not be to the extent of repair, and there is no scene of impurities and filth being discharged from the body.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, the young man looked at the sweat stains on his body that were gradually dried, and suddenly thought, could it be that all those filths flowed into the medicinal bath, and he didn't find it?
After thinking about it, Xu Zi'an dispelled these thoughts, he had seen some scenes of young Taoists entering the Xuan from the truth in the Taoist hall in Bocheng, and remembered that at that time, there were a lot of impurities and filth in the body of those Taoists who were rehearsed and repelled by the Heaven and Earth True Yuan, and it was just a bucket of water, which could not be covered.
What's more, that unpleasant smell can't be covered by any amount of water.
If the cultivator does not reach the upper realm of knowing the truth, in fact, there is not much similarity or difference with ordinary people, but he is wise and wise, and he can easily hear the eight directions, and never forget the skills, and when he reaches the upper realm of knowing the truth, the power of the true yuan will gradually converge into a stream in the sea of knowledge, and gradually flow into the Xuan meridian body veins in the body.
The words Tongxuan are to obtain this meaning.
And often when it comes to the Xuan Realm, there will be a clear difference between cultivators outside the world and those in the world, because the true yuan of heaven and earth enters the body, which will help the cultivator to clean out the impurities in the body, and use the mysterious power of heaven and earth to quench the body veins of the cultivator, making its meridians harder and stronger, and being able to admit that the true yuan can pass through continuously.
The younger the cultivator, the easier it is to pass through the mysteries, because the less impurities there are in the world, the less impurities are cleansed.
But Xu Zi'an is already fourteen, although he is still only a young man, but in the cultivation intermediate, this age is late enough, so if that green fruit helps him refine and clean the meridians in his body, the impurities and filth discharged will definitely not be less.
At least a bucket of water will never cover it.
Xu Zi'an looked at the sweat stains on his body, got up and walked towards the back of the room barrier, where there was a wooden barrel, he always washed away the sticky sweat stains that had just flowed out.
Perhaps because of the doubts in his heart, the sealing knife was also taken to the barrel by him, and the young man sat in the wooden barrel, on a whim, holding the sealing knife tightly and urging the knife intent, the more condensed cyan knife intent was like a clear jade, rippling bursts of luster in the water waves.
He remembered the mysterious knife technique again, and the soreness he felt after practicing the knife every time.
I remember that Shen Li once said that when the green mangs on the knife are completely solidified and turned into a colorless and traceless pure white, his soreness will disappear completely, but I don't know how long it will take to truly turn white.
However, if the sword intent is really whitened, this sealing knife will definitely be sharper and more powerful.
