Chapter Eighty-Three: The Road Alone
I raised my hand and did a quick calculation, my thumb stopped on my middle finger, and I frowned and whispered to myself.
"Humility hexagram outer hexagram for Kun for the earth, inner hexagram for Gen for the mountain, there are mountains in the earth, high inside and low outside, it is said that the merit is not self-esteem, the name is not self-honored, the position is not arrogant, look at this hexagram, take humility as the embrace, the future of the modest and forbearant is good, and the arrogant will be defeated...... This is the meaning of humility. ”
"I know this, it's the same as the Kowloon Fair Cup, it's also about being humble and benefiting, and it's full of losses." Yue Qianling took my words and said.
"Humility benefits, full of losses......" Wen Zhuo suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up and he said to me happily. Humility and humility, emphasis on a let word! ”
After Wen Zhuo finished speaking, he suddenly walked out, snatched the Dao talisman in Ye Qingyu's hand, and threw it to Yue Qianling behind him, and said without replying.
"Qianling, don't look at it, burn this talisman."
Yue Qianling may not understand what Wen Zhuo wants to do, but I see her expression is very excited, for the Dao talisman in her hand, she prefers the process of burning the Dao talisman, and even Gu Anqi came over to join in the fun.
Yue Qianling stretched out her fingers, Candle Jiuyin wrapped around her knuckles like a ring, this artifact is not ordinary human nature, and Yue Qianling has been with her for so long, she understands everything, Yue Qianling lightly touched its tail, Candle Jiuyin swam to Yue Qianling's fingertips and stood up and roared highly, a mouthful of flames erupted, and the Dao in Yue Qianling's hand instantly turned to ashes.
I watched Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi look excited on the side, and I couldn't cry or laugh, and an ancient artifact was completely reduced to a toy in their hands.
From Wen Zhuo snatching the Dao talisman from Ye Qingyu's hand, to Yue Qianling burning it in just a few seconds, the whole process was not dragged in the slightest, so that when Ye Qingyu turned around, he only saw the paper embers that fell from Yue Qianling's hand.
It is self-evident how much Ye Qingyu hates Wen Zhuo, I saw Wen Zhuo rushing up, in fact, I also thought of the true meaning of the hexagram, but I didn't expect Wen Zhuo to have the courage to dare to stand in front of Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu stood up from the ground and stared at Wen Zhuo angrily, probably finding that he was too close to him, he should have remembered what happened in the medicine hall that day, and Wen Zhuo looked at him for a few seconds, and he blushed a little to avoid his gaze, and subconsciously took a step back.
"How brazen are you, you insulted me lightly in the medicine hall, I have already let you go once, and now you are still following me to Longhu Mountain." The more Ye whispered, the more angry he became, and he raised his hand and waved it at Wen Zhuo's face. "If I participate in the competition, you will also make trouble, if this is not a Taoist holy land, I will end you a long time ago."
Wen Zhuo's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Ye Qingyu's fair wrist and said loudly very seriously.
"If you want to cross Qingchen Creek, listen to me honestly, otherwise you can go back now."
It may be that in Ye Qingyu's memory, Wen Zhuo has always been very easy-going, of course, such an evaluation should stay before the day we went, but now Wen Zhuo is suddenly majestic and serious, and it should be completely different from Wen Zhuo, who Ye Qingyu knows and is familiar with, and he looked at him in surprise for a while.
"Thin? Indecent assault? Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi's attention was instantly attracted, and then the two glanced at each other meaningfully and said with a sly smile. What the hell is there that we don't know? ”
"Wen Zhuo kissed her that day." Xiao Lianshan had forgotten his promise to Wen Zhuo, and while smiling, he pointed to Wen Zhuo and Ye in front of him and whispered excitedly. Then Wen Zhuo also told her that even if she died, he would wait for her...... It sounds like that. ”
Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi laughed in surprise when they heard this, I saw Ye Qingyu's cheeks crimson, pursed his lips and his eyes were full of resentment staring at Wen Zhuo opposite, Wen Zhuo, who was still full of momentum, heard that Xiao Lianshan actually told Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi about this, and immediately raised his head and took a deep breath speechlessly, and slowly turned his head to stare at us.
"Xiao Lianshan, you brother really has nothing to say......"
Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi had completely ignored Wen Zhuo, dragging Xiao Lianshan to ask about everything that happened at that time, Wen Zhuo looked at me helplessly, as if now I had become his last straw, but my head was quickly buried, Xiao Lianshan said this, he was originally a person who could not lie, not to mention that under the siege of Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi, he soon said everything, I saw Wen Zhuo's expression of wanting to cry without tears, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ye whispered and her body trembled, I believe that if her hand had not been grabbed by Wen Zhuo, I am afraid that she would have drawn her sword and slashed indiscriminately by now, Wen Zhuo was helpless when she saw that the matter had come to this point, and tried to calm herself.
"You came here just to go up the mountain to participate in the competition, and after this Qingchen Creek, you want to kill and listen to the respect."
"The Dao Fu has burned you, how can I get there?" Ye asked in a quiet voice anxiously and coldly.
Wen Zhuo's gaze turned to the void spirit in front of the incense case, and said unhurriedly.
"The talisman I burned just now is a real spirit talisman."
"You're all burned, why do you say it's a real spirit talisman?" Ye asked angrily.
Xu Lingzi didn't speak, he looked at Wen Zhuo meaningfully, and his hand stroked this beard with a strange look.
Wen Zhuo ignored Ye Whisper and Xu Lingzi looked at each other and said seriously.
"Dao Chief, you said before that of the two runes, one is real and one is virtual, only one is a Lingguan rune with a talisman, what I burned just now is a Lingguan rune, if the Daoist is not convinced, you can open the remaining Dao in front of you, if she didn't choose the wrong one, there should be nothing on the remaining Dao."
Void Lingzi was silent for a moment, stroked his beard and smiled, looked at Wen Zhuo, and slowly opened the remaining Dao runes, and there was really nothing drawn on them.
"It's a big move, I obviously chose the right one, what are you doing with the burning, it's okay to find trouble." Ye Qingyu saw that the void talisman in the hand of the void spirit son was the void talisman, and he also realized that he had chosen the right one, and his mood was slightly better.
"If I don't burn it, you'll be wrong in whatever you choose." Wen Zhuo kept looking at Void Lingzi and replied very calmly.
"How is it possible, since the Dao Chief's hand is not a spirit talisman, then I should have chosen it." Ye whispered unrelentingly.
"Haven't you thought that these two talismans are all virtual, and there is no spiritual talisman at all!" Wen Zhuo looked back at this Ye whisper very seriously, and said solemnly. "The Taoist said very clearly at the beginning, the avenue is naturally inactive, the spiritual mountain is not empty, the person who learns the Tao should be inaction, the Taoist is in the heart, and the spiritual officer is also in the heart, since this is the case, how can there be a distinction between virtual and real, virtual is real, real is virtual, so no matter how you choose, it is wrong."
After listening to this, Xulingzi got up and saluted, stood in front of Wen Zhuo and said with a smile.
"Amitayus longevity, the layman has forgotten in his heart has been like a realm, the poor Taoist is waiting for two Xuanmen grand ceremonies here, there are very few people who can pass from this Qingchen Creek, the layman has realized the source of the avenue, this is the foundation of Taoism, how many people have been pursuing the Tao all their lives, and finally they can't comprehend the true meaning of the Tao's natural inaction, please!"
Wen Zhuo let go of Ye Qingyu's hand and returned the salute to Xulingzi, Ye Qingyu next to her looked at Wen Zhuo in surprise, I looked at her expression as if she had never known the person in front of her, at least the current Wen Zhuo was too different from what she remembered.
We walked over, but found that although Xu Lingzi invited us over, he was blocking the only stone road on the other side, and he didn't mean to get out of the way, Ye Qingyu asked very suspiciously.
"Dao Chief, ...... are you?"
Void Lingzi's gaze kept falling on Wen Zhuo's body, and he said unhurriedly.
"Now that the layman has realized the Tao, the Tao is deserved, it is not difficult for the poor road to get out of the way, I want to ask the layman to calculate whether the poor road comes out of the left foot or the right foot first?"
Suddenly, everyone looked at each other, in the eyes of others, Void Lingzi was clearly intentionally making trouble, but Wen Zhuo looked calm, looked back at me, and was a little undecided, if it was said that one of the Dao Fu Wen Zhuo burned one of them was a stroke of genius, then now Void Lingzi did not leave us any chance to get lucky.
The reason is very simple, whether it is out of the left foot or the right foot, it all depends on his thoughts, we can choose the same is wrong, he will come out of the opposite foot, this is not calculated at all, but if the result is not counted, it is simpler, go down the mountain from here, no wonder this small Qingchen Creek blocked so many people who came to participate in the competition.
I stepped forward and stood beside Wen Zhuo, and said calmly after bowing to the Void Spirit Child.
"The Taoist immortal wind bone, the Taoist cultivation is very comparable, it seems that it is not easy to cross this Qingchen Creek, Yanhui has something to ask for, and I hope that the Dao will be perfect."
"Tell me what you have to say." The Void Spirit asked with a stroke of his beard.
"Come all the way to Longhu Mountain, I wanted to climb to the top of the Tao, but there is a Taoist chief to stay here, it seems that we and Longhu Mountain are a side after all, before leaving, I want to ask the Taoist to also occupy a hexagram in the next place."
"Knowing the difficulties and returning can be regarded as judging the situation, what do you want to occupy, do your best." Void Lingzi nodded in agreement.
I turned to look at Ye Qingyu, didn't say anything, pulled out the long sword in her hand, the sword body was cold, the stream reflected on the blade of the cold light dazzling, Ye Qingyu just wanted to say something, but was pulled by Wen Zhuo next to her, the distance was too close, she seemed to be afraid that Wen Zhuo would mess up again, and involuntarily took a step back.
I stood with my sword on my face, and the moment I turned around, I saw that the eyes of the Void Spirit Son were not right, not because of the sword in my hand, but because of the smile I suddenly put away, and the whole person was colder than this sword.
"The Taoist chief will help me take a hexagram and calculate whether the sword in my hand will cut your left leg or your right foot! If the Taoist chief miscalculates, he will let us cross the Qingchen Creek. ”
Yue Qianling suddenly grabbed my hand, maybe others thought I was joking, but Yue Qianling should know that I was serious, because when I asked Qi Hongtao to execute Huo Qian that night, I also had such an expression, which is why Yue Qianling was so nervous and worried.
Void Lingzi was silent and looked at me for a long time, no matter what the result of his occupation is, it is the same for me, he is wrong, we will pass, if he occupies the right place, I will cut off his foot, he will get out of the way, and we can also pass.
Xu Lingzi's footsteps moved, slowly let go of the road behind him, hugged his hands and saluted, and said convincingly.
"This layman avenue alone, has achieved three thousand meritorious deeds, constant thoughts from the heart can not be stopped, the poor road knows that it is invincible, here to send you over the Qingchen Creek, from this to enter the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the layman road law is regrettable and can reach, the road to the top is rugged, look at the layman all the way carefully, the green mountains do not change the green water long flow, the day of the test poor road at the top of the mountain waiting for the demeanor of the layman."
"Yan Hui offended, the Taoist chief didn't dare to praise it, thank you for the reminder." I returned the sword to Ye and thanked him softly, and took the lead in walking through the clear dust stream.
Ye Qingyu looked at us in surprise, but it seemed that he was afraid of having something to do with Wen Zhuo, and after crossing the stream alone, he left first, Xiao Lianshan suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to ask.
"Dao Chief, I heard that you have to go up the mountain to pass through the three curves and nine caves, do you count as the first layer here?"
"The layman laughed, the poor Dao and the other two senior brothers are just Taoist priests who welcome guests at the mountain gate, and the poor Dao talent is dull and shallow, so he can only discourage the Taoist friends who go up the mountain to compete here, and only after passing my other two senior brothers can he really enter the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, as for the three songs and nine caves...... "Xu Lingzi has already sat back on the side of the incense case, and said with a calm smile." Let's wait until you get past my two senior brothers. ”
