Chapter 67: Family Affairs and Fiancée
Zheng Yan watched the whirlpool in the sea of qi completely out of control, the speed was no longer known how fast, and gradually there was a slight collapse in the center of the whirlpool, and there was some obvious dimness, the entire consciousness and the sea of qi seemed to be converging towards the whirlpool, or being sucked, at this time he was really a little panicked, what was the situation? There was no such record in the book and some of the practice notes of the predecessors, was it going to be torn apart? Zheng Yan suddenly remembered the scene he saw when he was a child playing by Luoshui,
At that time, there had just been a big flood, and there were many whirlpools caused by pipe gushing on the side of the river bank embankment, I remember that a pig floated down the upstream, and it happened to flow into a whirlpool along the water, just blink an eye, a hundred pounds of pig was torn apart, I remember that I just read at that time that "water is good for all things without fighting", and "goodness is like water", and "gold is just broken, water is soft", and then Zheng Yan understood the saying "double-edged sword".
At the last moment, Zheng Yan ran away again, realized the current situation and hurriedly came back to his senses, encouraging the support consciousness not to be sucked in, Dugu Takihyun sacrificed her own body in order to repay her own favor, and now she wants to destroy her own body? Or is it caused by her own cultivation, it will definitely be a loss of death if you say it, and the key divine soul does not seem to be able to escape, will the divine soul also be torn apart like a physical body? In the end, it will be condensed together to form a return pill? No, it is more likely to be a "blood pill".
Zheng Yan has been in a state of internal vision, unable to see the situation outside the body, although sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, the lower abdomen is constantly tightening, and even a spiral has appeared, the dry grass branches and charcoal fire in the cave all floated, and began to slowly converge towards his lower abdomen, the charcoal fire ignited the adjacent hay and branches, seeing that Zheng Yan was about to be cremated, and at this time, the consciousness in the body finally could not support it and was sucked into the whirlpool.
Taifeng broke through the mountain stone that blocked the entrance of the cave, and finally had surprise on his calm face when he saw the scene in the cave, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was some hesitation in his eyes, but he quickly made a decision, stepped forward and passed through the rising flames with a palm imprinted on Zheng Yan's lower abdomen, and the next moment the flames flew out to reveal Zheng Yan's body still sitting with his eyes closed, and then opened his eyes the next moment, but he was a little sluggish.
The sparks scattered in the cave have been re-packed up, and the two of them sat opposite each other by the bonfire and did not speak, Yutai Feng seemed to be smiling, and Zheng Yan's expression was full of unnaturalness,
"Refining and refining qi broke through the realm and almost killed yourself, in the whole world throughout the ages, you are estimated to be the first one", Tan Taifeng finally opened his mouth, but it was full of sarcasm and schadenfreude,
Zheng Yan was a bachelor at this time, leaning on the haystack to adjust a comfortable posture, with an expression of "You say yours, I don't care",
"What the hell is going on?", seeing that Zheng Yan didn't speak, Taifeng finally asked curiously,
Zheng Yan simply lay down again, not only did the qi sea hurt badly, the meridians were also very uncomfortable, the viscera seemed to be misplaced, if it weren't for the internal vision to determine that there was nothing abnormal, at this time I would have begged the guy in front of me to help take a look, these are just simple pain or discomfort, but the soul and consciousness are a little strange, although there is also some tearing pain, but there are also some strange feelings, just now when the consciousness was sucked into the whirlpool, I thought that I was going to become an idiot, at that time I forgot the body and forgot the soul, and then it seemed to enter a starry sky, no self and no thought, countless infinity, with the consciousness drifting, or never movedIn short, gradually consciousness began to condense, I saw the nebula rotate and saw the passage of time, saw the starlight being decomposed by the heavenly thunder, and saw the decomposition of the light converge again,
"I used to read books that when the true element in the sea of qi reaches a certain amount, and the purity is sufficient, plus the divine soul or divine consciousness meets the conditions, it can condense and return the pill by itself, if it cannot condense itself for a long time, you can artificially create a true element vortex in the sea of qi through the divine sense or some pills, so as to condense the return pill;
Yu Taifeng thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of anyone who needs to rely on pills or use divine sense to create a true yuan vortex by themselves, you made it yourself?"
Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "After I straighten out the true yuan, a vortex will appear, and the automatic generation of the vortex will not be that kind of Tianzhong genius, right?
"You seem to want to understand everything, do you have to explain it clearly?", said thoughtfully,
Zheng Yan thought for a while and nodded, "I don't like ambiguous things, Xuanzhi Xuanzhi I just treat it as if it is not established and yet to be proven, cultivation is like building a mechanism or building a high-rise building, each step can always be explained and seen clearly",
Taifeng looked at Zheng Yan's eyes a little strangely, Zheng Yan didn't explore and continued, "I haven't tried to break through the realm in the past few years, mainly because I have been refining the true yuan and refining the body, and there is also the cultivation of the divine soul, probably because of this, the formed true yuan vortex is spinning faster and faster, and finally it gets out of control, almost wrapping all the body and soul into it, but fortunately, I finally produced a small return pill, although it is smaller, wait, how did you get here?",
Yutai Feng began to frown and ponder, Zheng Yan finally felt a little embarrassed on his face again, and said stupidly, "It's Uncle Feng who stopped the True Yuan Vortex, thank you, I didn't react when I came back to consciousness, how did Uncle Feng get to this Taihua Mountain?... Won't you still protect me? This doesn't seem appropriate, and it's not in line with the rules, which sister do I really have a marriage contract? Why no one ever told me? Who the hell is it? Wait, Uncle Feng isn't here to inspect me? The matter hasn't been settled yet?",
Seeing that Zheng Yan was a little happier the more he spoke, the more he spoke, the more unhappy he finally had on his face, and he snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Isn't the woman of my Shantai family worthy of you?"
Zheng Yan looked innocent, "Isn't it clear that others don't know Uncle Feng? Am I that kind of person? I'm just afraid of trouble, I'm afraid that people won't be happy, and when the time comes, I will always be unlucky if I sprinkle all my grievances on me, and there will always be me who are unlucky, you see the two fiancées arranged by the clan said that if they don't marry, they won't marry, and I didn't say anything, and I have to change ways to comfort others."
Taifeng sneered, "You just don't want to be involved with too many people, especially a woman with a background, you just want to live your own little life behind closed doors with Yingyue Xinluo at home, do you think it's possible?"
Zheng Yan's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he doesn't care and says, "This doesn't prevent me from working hard in that direction, I can't avoid it, and I won't look for death to do anything."
"I did inspect you, and I was protecting you, and your affairs were indeed not settled, I thought it had been decided, hum", Taifeng seemed to be very dissatisfied in the end,
Zheng Yan thought quickly, who is it? Concubine Xue of Lantai? Impossible, she is a concubine, she can not care at home, but she can't talk about this matter on the table, when she first arrived in Luoyang, people just said that she must be the companion of one of her two sisters, go over in advance to familiarize herself with the situation, and now it seems that she may not be able to marry the prince, but marry an excellent family like Wen Rengui;
Sister Xue Hong, this is really possible, although she is a few years older than herself, but after all, she is the eldest daughter of Uncle Li, but there are too many people staring at her, and with her own conditions, whether it is cultivation talent or appearance and conduct, she can definitely choose her husband independently, and she will definitely not be able to do this;
This possibility should be the largest, but there was no sign at all before, maybe it was not the daughter of Uncle Li's family, but several other uncles' families, Zheng Yan couldn't help but look at Lantai Feng who was still thinking about something,
Tan Taifeng reacted and said calmly, "Since you have such a mentality, then don't explore, anyway, it's two things if they don't succeed, if it doesn't work, it's just one less thought",
Zheng Yan thought so, took out the dried meat, dried fruits and water, and ran outside with a bow and arrows to shoot two pheasants and came back, today will definitely not go again, and the sky is also a little cloudy, maybe it is a heavy snowfall, snow in such a lofty mountain range, if you don't die, you will be injured.
Sure enough, it soon began to snow heavily.
Taihua belongs to the north, sitting in the north and facing south, the north end of the mountain range is just the boundary between the North Wilderness and the Jiuqu Plain, although there is Zheyin Mountain to block the cold current, but the long wind from the West Wilderness can cross the westernmost Great Wall line, through the six thousand miles of wind Yanzhou all the way directly to here, and the cold current from the north of the Jiuqu Yuan will also enter Yudan Zhou from the corridor between the North Wilderness and Taihua for hundreds of miles and then infect Taihua, it can be said that Taihua is two ends of the gas, and it itself is not lacking in towering mountains, so the wind and snow on the top of the mountain in winter are quite heavy.
Zheng Yan has been very sensitive to the weather since he was a child, and he prepared some more firewood when he saw that the sky was getting cloudy, and now the whole cave is warm, so that his body can recover faster.
Idle and idle, Taifeng explained to Zheng Yan his cultivation process and perception from refining and refining qi to refining qi and transforming gods, but there were some suspicions of subtle words, Zheng Yan listened to it and didn't understand it, seeing that he seemed to have no interest in chatting, Zheng Yan took the time to sink his mind into the New Year's money, and saw Dugu Takihyun again, but this guy didn't practice, but sat there alone with his knees as he did at the beginning.
Zheng Yan walked over and patted the woman's shoulder gently, although they were all in a state of spirit, but the touch was real, the woman was suddenly startled, looked up and saw that it was Zheng Yan, her lonely and lonely eyes turned full of joy, just like an old friend who had not seen her for many years, Zheng Yan also sat down, and asked curiously, "Don't you really feel the time?" I have been trying to break through the realm all day, and I almost lost my soul and died,
Dugu Takihun's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he asked with concern, "How can it be so dangerous? You just refine the qi to refine the qi to refine the qi and transform the god, right? There is a sneak attack from a foreign enemy?"
Zheng Yan smiled lightly, "No, there is something wrong with my cultivation, who knows, cultivation is frightening step by step, although human cultivation is easy, it can be interfered with a lot, and the more Dao sects that may be cultivated, the higher the risk, after all, I have both cultivated and cultivated the soul, and the martial arts are still growing too fast, remember that you only need to pay attention to the thunder tribulation in your cultivation, right?"
Dugu Takihyun put his mind at ease, nodded and said, "We generally experience a thunder tribulation in five hundred years, this is not considered to break the realm, breaking the realm may attract a more powerful thunderstorm, the spirit cultivation, although it also cultivates the way of heaven, but after all, it belongs to going against the sky, and it is always rejected by the way of heaven, unlike you, you can practice both the way of heaven and the avenue, and you have explored so many doorways, so that many demon clans have to rely on you to obtain some cultivation methods",
Zheng Yan naturally heard the frustration and helplessness in her words, and maybe some resentment, this is also a helpless thing, what she insisted on was similar to the martial arts and blessings encountered in the Ten Thousand Buddha Immortal Caves, but after all, it was difficult for personal wishes to stop the operation of the times; In fact, even if the demon cultivator does not actively rely on the human forces, it will be passively retracted in the future, or subjugated or even subdued, looking at the development of human beings for tens of thousands of years, it will definitely not be able to escape this law.
Zheng Yan really wanted to make these truths clear with her, but after thinking about it, he felt that he might not be able to convince her with his current level, and if it made her rebellious, it might be more troublesome in the future.
"What are you thinking? Am I not right?", seeing Zheng Yan in a daze, Dugu Takihyun stretched out a jade hand and kept shaking it in front of Zheng Yan's eyes,
Zheng Yan came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly, suddenly remembered something, got up and said casually, "There is still a person outside, I have to go out and have a look", and was about to leave.
Dugu Takihyun suddenly grabbed Zheng Yan's sleeve, tilted his head and begged a little in his eyes, but the next moment he let go of his hand again, and said with a smile, "Then go out, is it your clan?
Zheng Yan smiled and said, "It's a distant cousin, I'll come in and teach you to cultivate the soul when I rest in the future."
Dugu Takihyun opened his beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "Then how often do you rest?"
Zheng Yan sighed lightly in her heart, there is no time here for her to be a little difficult, otherwise she will not have this performance with her strong temperament, and the impact of loneliness may be stronger for the demon cultivator who feels naturally keen, "Take a break once a day, but I can put half of my consciousness here, but you can't see my appearance, you can only hear the voice, no, it's the mind",
Dugu Takihyun was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you look like, it's so-so anyway, then you go out quickly, don't trust a person too easily."
Zheng Yan's soul returned to his body, and found that Tang Tai Feng was looking at him, so he had to cast an inquiring look, Tang Tai Feng glanced at the position of his chest, thought about it and said, "The soul of the black wolf is inside?"
Zheng Yan nodded and asked strangely, "You've been around all along?"
"No, I also have some interesting places to explore", Yu Taifeng directly denied it, and then said, "Black wolves are rare, it is said that their perception is superior to that of their kind, and they are psychic, you don't want to tame it, right?"
Zheng Yan hurriedly shook his head and denied it, looked at the fact that it was already dark outside, used some hay to plug some gaps in the door of the built cave, and built a bonfire, so he was ready to sleep well, it is rare to have a master by his side, these nights are basically half asleep, this is also the reason why everyone must form a team, and they can rest well in turn at night.
"It was your fiancée who asked me to protect you, she didn't expect you to participate in the family trial, originally just to let me protect you to Yiwang City, I think, even if you don't have a great chance of being together in the future, you should also have this consideration if you want to get close to some other women now", Tang Taifeng saw Zheng Yan lying down to sleep, and suddenly said,
Zheng Yan smiled helplessly, "You watched all the way, which woman did I have a close relationship with? Even if I don't have a fiancée, I will keep the bottom line and distance from others."
"What did that Shuangyun say?", Yu Taifeng's voice was a little cold,
Zheng Yan had to sit up and seriously explain his ethics and Shuangyun's temperament, otherwise it would be light to teach Shuangyun with Taifeng's temper, and it would be possible to kill someone.
After some explanation, Taifeng nodded and said that there was no problem, Zheng Yan then lay down again, and his mouth was still a little self-deprecating, "It is said that this world is divided into two halves, half of men and half of women, I stay in the men's world very well, and I really don't want to get involved too much in the world of women, if only I could decide my own marriage like you and Nanzhu, it would be good if I could decide my own marriage like you and Nanzhu, no wonder so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Luoyang City are raising foreign houses, and most of the wives are unsatisfactory, right?" The wife is not satisfied, the husband is not satisfied, and he can't divorce his wife, I heard that some villages in Luoyang City and outside the city also have special places for noble ladies, well, you know, listen to operas and sing songs, chant poems and paint, and play some tricky games, what do you say this is for?",
There was no response on the other side, and Taifeng had already begun to close his eyes to recuperate, Zheng Yan smiled and said to himself, "I think, I just can't get along with myself."
