Chapter 9: The Door is Heavy
The continuous ringing of the broken mirror bell yesterday had completely made all the disciples begin to gather their minds and put all their energy on cultivation, and the matter of Fu Chen was left behind by everyone for a while.
The next morning, as soon as he opened the door, Fu Chen saw a figure in green clothes lying on a reclining chair, a glass of wine in his right hand, and a white-headed chant softly. The paper fan in his left hand swayed gently, and the ten beautiful pictures on the paper fan seemed to come alive for a while, dancing with the song, lifelike.
One was lying and the other was standing, and the two looked at each other as if they had met for the first time.
Fu Chen said helplessly: "You plan to stare at me all the time?"
Liu Daoxuan got up, closed the paper fan with his left hand, and walked towards Fuchen with a wine glass in his right hand, and said with a smile: "The first time we met, I felt that you were the first person who didn't have a monk to look at me with contempt and disdain for indifference, so I like to look at your eyes very much." ”
"I realized last night that you are a pariah, just like me, and you are better called a mortal. ”
Fu Chen said calmly: "There is no injustice or hatred, I treat anyone the same, regardless of monks and mortals. ”
Liu Daoxuan raised his head and said happily: "The person I like is really different! ”
The dust is full of black lines on the forehead.
"My father asked me to come to the academy to study rituals. Liu Daoxuan retracted his joking expression, and emphasized very seriously: "To be precise, I will learn to sacrifice with you!"
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "After the events of that day, your father should change his attitude towards you in the past, even if it doesn't change much, it won't drive you to me, and you are not interested in learning from me at all, let alone the sacrifice that you can't learn." ”
"You've seen through it. Liu Daoxuan laughed and explained honestly: "After that day, my eldest brother was almost confined by my father, and my status is not on the rise, but it is much better than before." It was my own proposal to come to you to study sacrifices, and my father did not object. ”
Fu Chen smiled: "Why are you here?"
Liu Daoxuan rubbed his fingers, the paper fan suddenly opened, swayed gently, and said chicly: "In my twenty-three-year-old life, you are the only person I have met who is pleasing to the eye, and I want to be friends with you." ”
Fu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled again: "Why do you want to come here?"
Liu Daoxuan knew that he couldn't hide it, and took the initiative to confess with a smile: "I have been forbidden to leave the Liu family for ten years, because of the last incident, my father promised me a request, and I said that I would come to the academy, and it is false to learn sacrifice with you, but it is true to be friends, of course, it is even more true to come to the academy to see the beauties I have never seen." ”
Fu Chen didn't pay attention to it anymore and went directly into the house, and Liu Daoxuan continued to lie in the courtyard happily drinking and chanting poetry.
At lunch, Liu Daoxuan was impressed by Fu Chen's craftsmanship, and the two of them said little after that, until Fu Chen walked out of the room and asked a question.
"How much does a lowest-order spirit tree cost?"
Liu Daoxuan thought for a while and replied, "The market price of the lowest-grade first-grade spirit wood should not be less than five hundred alliance coins. ”
"You come with me" said Fu Chen walked straight outside, and Liu Daoxuan followed out curiously.
When he arrived at the aura node, Fu Chen pointed to the stone platform, Liu Daoxuan was originally puzzled, but after looking at it for a while, he understood, and said with a smile: "This should be the aura node of the academy, but the four spirit trees of the node are wasted, do you want to replenish the spirit wood of this aura node?"
"Yes. ”
Liu Daoxuan was even more curious and smiled: "You can't cultivate, what can you do to supplement the spirit wood?" Could it be that you still have this kind heart to consider other students?"
Fu Chen looked at Liu Daoxuan with a strange expression, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I can't practice?"
Liu Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fu Chen with an incredulous expression, and said, "I already know about you and Fei Qing, and I also know about the things that my father guaranteed for you, I know that these things shouldn't be strange, right?
Fu Chen said seriously: "Everything you heard is correct, but I can practice now, but I am just at the beginning." ”
Liu Daoxuan's mouth opened wide, and he subconsciously took a step back, looked at Fu Chen with a wary face, and said, "You are a monk, how can you still have a conflict with Fei Qing? You lie to me, what is the conspiracy?"
Looking at Liu Daoxuan's guarded demeanor, Fu Chen could understand how he had come over the years, he was not angry, but just said two words plainly: "I was unable to practice for some reasons, but then I found a way to restore my cultivation qualifications, and I only started cultivating yesterday." ”
Liu Daoxuan's expression was sluggish, and he looked at Fu Chen with a confused expression.
Fu Chen understood the latter's mood, patted the latter's shoulder, and said seriously: "Let me tell you again, there is no injustice or hatred, I treat everyone the same, regardless of monks and mortals, you don't have to treat me as the same as those other monks." ”
Liu Daoxuan looked at Fu Chen's eyes, and after a long time, after finally failing to find the slightest hint of a lie, he actually burst out laughing, and even gave Fu Chen a big hug.
Liu Daoxuan has hardly been hugged by his family since he was born, even if he is a domestic servant, he is also that kind of cold dislike, this hug made Liu Daoxuan suddenly feel that this world is not pitch black, making him feel depressed and painful all day long.
Fu Chen let Liu Daoxuan hold him like this, and he understood the latter's mood.
In the end, Liu Daoxuan let go of Fu Chen, took a deep breath, pointed to the aura node in front of him, and said to Fu Chen: "Don't worry, you let go of cultivation in the future, I can't help you with anything else, but the maintenance of this aura node doesn't cost much, I don't need to ask my father, I have the money to do it myself." ”
Fu Chen looked at Liu Daoxuan at the moment, and said, "Are you sure?"
Looking at Fu Chen's expression at this moment, Liu Daoxuan smiled bitterly, how much spirit wood can a person who has just started cultivating consume?
Fu Chen also patted the latter's shoulder, and looked at Liu Daoxuan with encouraging eyes: "You have a good vision for supporting my cultivation so much." ”
“......”
In less than an hour, Liu Daoxuan asked people to buy four spirit trees and send them, and the aura node was replenished.
Fu Chen directly began to practice.
Liu Daoxuan didn't go to the aura node in the afternoon to watch Fu Chen's cultivation, and being stared at was a great sacrifice for a monk, although he didn't know Fu Chen's true thoughts about himself, but even if Liu Daoxuan could be an ordinary friend with Fu Chen, he felt that the whole world was beautiful, and he had longed for this beauty for twenty years, and he couldn't destroy it for himself because of taboos.
Liu Daoxuan lay in the courtyard like this, smirking all afternoon.
Liu Daoxuan had already reported to the academy in the morning, and the second young master of the Liu family suddenly came to study in the academy, which naturally caused some considerable fluctuations.
The so-called tiger father has no dog son, but Liu Changming gave birth to a son with a mortal physique, and this matter naturally spread throughout the entire return county.
Now that Liu Daoxuan suddenly came to the academy to practice, at first many people were still very curious, Liu Daoxuan couldn't practice, what was the situation when he came to the academy, but after hearing that Liu Daoxuan was going to come to learn the sacrifice, everyone was stunned, Liu Changming wanted to let the two untouchables report to the group to keep warm.
Liu Daoxuan was lying in the courtyard drinking tea and reading books without being disturbed, but suddenly three consecutive broken mirror bells rang out, which shocked Liu Daoxuan and made him even more envious.
"Although the academy is not the top in the return county, these disciples are all very talented, and it seems that they are all working hard for the upcoming academy exam. ”
In less than two hours, there were several consecutive broken mirror bells, and the atmosphere and rhythm were a bit compact.
In the evening, Fu Chen returned.
Liu Daoxuan, who was still lying in the courtyard, nodded to Fu Chen, and said hello.
After Fuchen washed up briefly, he personally made a few side dishes, the meals were very delicious, and Liu Daoxuan's good impression of Fuchen added a few points.
After the meal, Fu Chen said: "The spiritual wood of the spiritual energy node is broken again. ”
Liu Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "It shouldn't be." ”
Fu Chen said seriously: "My cultivation method is a little violent, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is a little fast, and those few spiritual trees are consumed too quickly, so I may have to trouble you to replenish it tomorrow." ”
Liu Daoxuan looked at Fu Chen's serious expression, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally had to nod and say yes.
The next morning, Liu Daoxuan informed the people of the Liu family to replace the four spirit trees again.
In the afternoon, Fu Chen went to practice as usual, Liu Daoxuan was still lying in the courtyard, and today he heard the unique broken mirror bell of the academy ring again and again, Liu Daoxuan suddenly felt that the students of the academy were very energetic, and the disciples of this class were so good, would the status of the academy rise one step further in the return of the county at the end of the year.
However, what Liu Daoxuan didn't know was that the disciples of the academy were about to be tortured by this broken mirror bell and went crazy, as if urging their lives, everyone gritted their teeth and tightened a string, not to be outdone, and worked hard to cultivate.
At the same time as yesterday, Fu Chen came back from cultivation, washed, and cooked.
After the meal, Fu Chen said seriously again: "The spirit wood is broken again, you have to have someone replace it tomorrow." ”
"......." Liu Daoxuan was stunned on the spot.
Fu Chen ignored the latter and went back to the house to rest.
On the third day, after Liu Daoxuan asked people to replace the spirit wood again, he returned to the courtyard, puzzled, and went to practice in the afternoon, and Liu Daoxuan secretly followed.
At first, Liu Daoxuan didn't think there was anything strange, but after less than ten breaths, Liu Daoxuan stood up suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, and stared at the aura node above Fu Chen's head with wide eyes.
The four spiritual trees act like four pillars, and the aura nodes above form an umbrella-shaped light curtain, and the umbrella-shaped light curtain is connected with the four spiritual trees, forming a small enchantment, like a gazebo.
When people practice in it, the light curtain will scatter wisps of aura, which is the entire shape and circulation process of the aura node, although Liu Daoxuan can't practice, but he still knows a little about these.
But the scene presented in front of Liu Daoxuan's eyes at this time was that the aura in the umbrella-shaped light curtain was no longer as usual as a light rain, but a majestic aura of heavy rain smashing down.
The aura went from being like a cloud at the beginning, to being like a line of beads that could clearly see the falling, and now it is like a column of water spewing down from an umbrella-shaped light curtain.
At this time, these water column-like aura seemed to be very heavy, and the umbrella-shaped light curtain pulled slowly descended from the middle of the ground ten zhang from the ground at the beginning, and as a result, the drooping light curtain caused too much pressure on the four spirit trees below, and the cyan spirit trees began to lose their halo, and there were even sparks produced.
After four hours, the spirit wood finally could not support the weight of the light curtain and spontaneously combusted, turning into ashes, and at the same time, the broken bell rang three times in succession!
The corners of Liu Daoxuan's mouth twitched, and he said in disbelief: "It turns out that the exercises that Fu Chen said are a bit violent, it's like this..."
Fu Chen withdrew from cultivation, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Daoxuan, who was standing in front of him with an uncalm face, and said apologetically: "The spirit wood is broken again." ”
Liu Daoxuan didn't care about this, and looked at Fu Chen with some urgency and asked, "Did you cause the broken mirror bell?"
Fu Chen was a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't ring the broken mirror bell, I'm not sure if I'm on the first floor of the Daomen." ”
Liu Daoxuan instantly went berserk, his emotions were a little excited, and he shouted: "Impossible! The aura you have absorbed in the past few hours today is enough for one person to improve three small realms, and you even told me that you are the first level of the Dao Gate, and you don't know anything about cultivation as a mortal?"
“.....”
