509 The retreat begins
It is said to be a retreat, but the legendary cat in a cave in the deep mountains and old forests, without eating or drinking for hundreds of years, opened his eyes and achieved great success, and the vicissitudes of the world no longer know what time it is, and it is destined to not happen to Zhong Xiaoxin.
Zhong Xiaoxin's retreat is definitely not going down the ordinary path.
Now it is the middle of October, and it will be the full moon night of the fifteenth day in two days, and the first thing Zhong Xiaoxin did in retreat was to go down to the cave at the bottom of the Yugu River and sleep for a while.
Although it is said that when she is asleep, she can also refine true water unconsciously, but this lazy refining method is not much in the end, so Zhong Xiaoxin slept a full night, and waited for the moon to come out at night, she was stuck and floated back to the surface of the Yugu River and lake.
Out of the water, I saw the big altar set up by the people of Shenglong Guanmen, the altar was placed with the statue of the Sanqing patriarch, and the incense, flowers, lamps, water, sweets, tea, food, treasures, beads, and clothes were placed in the middle according to the highest ten offerings.
In this way, the national teacher can't jump down, anyway, it's a false trick, the national teacher stopped, this pair of masters and apprentices who have no fate, you look at me, I look at you, whoever looks at it is awkward.
After frowning and looking at Zhong Xiaoxin, the national teacher asked, "Are you wearing this to pray for blessings?"
Zhong Xiaoxin has been wearing Taoist clothes for the convenience of going out of the palace and entering the palace in the past two days. At the beginning, the two Taoist clothes that Qi Xiaodao Ye made for her were also good in texture, but the style was ordinary, and they were everyday attire at first glance, but they were not the luxurious robes used in the Zhaijiao ceremony.
After the national teacher finished saying this, Qi Xiaodao Ye came out from among the disciples on the side and whispered: "Something happened suddenly, and the senior sister's magic robe has been ordered to be prepared. ”
The national teacher could only nod his head, and asked Zhong Xiaoxin again: "What are you doing here?"
What can Zhong Xiaoxin say, he can only reply to him stubbornly: "Come and bask in the moon, there is no essence of heaven and earth, how can you cultivate." ”
The national teacher and Qi Xiaodao were dumbfounded together, they always thought that with Zhong Xiaoxin's ability, the so-called absorption of the essence of heaven and earth should be to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in the underwater cave, no matter how bad it is, it should be like the legendary immortals, find some stone platform in a lonely mountain and sit on it for a whole month, in short, although Zhong Xiaoxin also said before that her closed living and sleeping are as usual, and she will not sit motionless, but everyone thinks that it should be peerless and independent, like a fairy.
How could I have thought that Zhong Xiaoxin came out of the water in the middle of the night, like an uncle who soaked in a bathhouse, squatting with most of his head out of the water, and looking around, especially when there were people on the side, he didn't delay her chatting, which was too unpopular.
If it was in the past, as long as he could save the prince, Zhong Xiaoxin would soak in the bath as much as he liked, but this time the situation is special, since the national teacher and Qi Xiaodao Ye used the name of Shenglongguan to open the altar to pray for blessings, they can take care of their own image.
So they began to dislike Zhong Xiaoxin's posture of getting out of the water.
"How can you be silent when you come out of the water?" the national teacher said: "Quietly popping up a head, I don't know and think that you are a water ghost in this water, can't you say it in advance, just now I was reciting the scriptures, and I saw a head coming out of the water, and I was not scared." "This is still a national teacher, and it is estimated that ordinary people can draw it.
Qi Xiaodao Ye also said: "Is this how you usually cultivate? What is it to squat in the water and stay motionless like this? The next time I saw you, didn't you walk on the water like walking on the ground? Can you walk like that? It's really a bit embarrassing to soak like this. "Actually, it's embarrassing to walk around, but it's better than taking a bath.
Zhong Xiaoxin didn't know what to say?
She has always cultivated like this, why should she be disgusted by the two masters and apprentices now, besides, she said very clearly at the beginning, what she wanted was a quiet place where no one disturbed, the two masters and apprentices together were noisier than a thousand ducks, where was it quiet, and the rows of Taoist priests of the Shenglong Temple in the back, although no one spoke, but they looked at rare things one by one, staring at her with a very adoring look, if the eyes could be focused, she would have to be seen spontaneously combusting, telling her how to cultivate.
Zhong Xiaoxin's face immediately swelled with anger, and she was about to reply without thinking about it: "You ......"
Qi Xiaodao lowered his voice and shouted: "Don't raise your voice, things have changed." ”
Zhong Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, and forcibly swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth.
"What's changed?"
Didn't she say yes when she went into the water in the afternoon?
The saying that the Shenglong Temple set up an altar is because the national teacher predicted that the country would be in great trouble, the sky sent a warning, the white lotus taught the demon man's practice, the demon star passed through the sky, the anger rushed to the crape myrtle, and the emperor star was unfavorable, and the prince was filial piety as a substitute, and blocked the disaster for the Yuanzhi Emperor, and was in a coma, so the Yuanzhi Emperor asked the Shenglong Guan Guoshi to open the altar.
According to the itinerary that has been set, Zhong Xiaoxin retreats for a month, and in this month, the Shunyi Bobai family will be arrested under the various arrangements of the Shenglongguan, and will be arrested for the hat of uniting the White Lotus Sect to rebel, which is in response to the prophecy of the country's catastrophe, and when Zhong Xiaoxin came out, the large array of the Shenglongguan was also built for a month, and it will be announced to the public again, the demon law of the White Lotus Sect has been broken, and the prince will be rescued by Zhong Xiaoxin.
Because of this reason, the original arrangement was that in the name of setting up a large array, Shenglongguan would charter the entire mountain behind Baique Nunnery, and no one was allowed to approach, and quietly gave Zhong Xiaoxin a whole field to cultivate.
Therefore, when Zhong Xiaoxin came out to take a bath at night, she was also surprised to see such a large group of Shenglongguan disciples watching her at close range. After all, she only slept for one afternoon, and what happened? Let the plan become a national teacher who had to take all his disciples to the battle to pray for blessings?
Zhong Xiaoxin was extremely surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Xiaodao Ye looked at Zhong Xiaoxin deeply, and said: "The matter is too complicated, it's too late to say, in short, this is the meaning of the saint, in addition to the Shenglong Temple, there will be other people present in a while, I just ask you, if there are outsiders, will it affect your cultivation?"
"This ...... In fact, it doesn't affect it...... "Zhong Xiaoxin's cultivation can be carried out anywhere, but I am afraid that outsiders will be present, but it will distract Zhong Xiaoxin, if she can't enter the realm of Tianyi unity, then her cultivation will also be discounted, but fortunately, Zhong Xiaoxin's main task now is to refine a sufficient amount of true water, and it is nothing to discount her cultivation, but she is really curious, what happened?"
