Chapter 144: Listening to the Waves in the Pine Forest
Patches of pine forests merge into a sea of forests, rippling green in the early summer breeze.
A secluded and secluded place, a fun return to nature.
Chen Anzhen found such a hidden and quiet place in Shangluo Inner City. And it's well-connected, the news is convenient, and everything meets his requirements. This is the spiritual view enshrined by the Xuan kings of the past dynasties.
This is a Taoist temple, and people in the world often confuse the fairy gate with the Taoist gate, but it is not true. Cultivating immortals is to practice the law, cultivating the Tao is to practice the heart, the so-called cultivation of immortals is just to seek long-term happiness and leisure, and it is also a kind of Tao, and all the laws in the world cannot be the way. Therefore, cultivating immortals is seeking the Tao, and seeking the Tao is not only about cultivating immortals.
Lingshu Guan is a lineage of Taoism, but it has nothing to do with Xianmen. The ancestors of the Xuan kings of the past dynasties set up the ancestral shrine in it, seeking a sustenance, so it was rewarded and repaired many times, making it a famous resort in Shangluo City.
But when it comes to Di Heng's generation, he only believes in himself, but his affection with this spiritual concept is shallow. Lingshuguan lost the support of the magnates, and gradually showed the image of decay, fortunately, the ancestral shrine of King Xuan is located here, and the ancestral temple of King Xuan is also sacrificed every year, so that its status is special and no one dares to provoke, and it has lost the favor of the magnates, but it is more close to the people, with a large mass base, so that the incense here is endless.
Such a prosperous incense, there is no shortage of offerings, and naturally raise a lot of servants and miscellaneous streams, including the Taoist priests in the Guanguan, there are not a thousand but eight hundred people in this Lingshu Guan, and it is not difficult for Chen An to mix in it and live for a few days.
At this time, he changed into a Taoist robe worn by ordinary handymen, sat on the stone steps under the pine forest, closed his eyes slightly, and let the shade of the trees mottle his face, like a lazy little Taoist priest.
After he escaped from Jiangtai Mansion three days ago, he came here to recuperate, and in fact, on that day, with the sharpness of the light sword technique, he did not suffer any other damage except for his own injuries against the meridians. And the reverse chaos meridian is a great injury for the martial artist before the resonance of the vitality, and it may even be useless in martial arts, and he will never have anything to do with martial arts. But for the existence of the Celestial Realm, it was just a small injury that was too painful. He vomited for two days in a row, and he had already straightened out his meridians, and now his injuries were already healed.
Although this experience was a bit dangerous, it was not completely rewarding for Chen An, at least he personally experienced a battle in the Celestial Realm, and even experienced the shot of the peerless peak of the exterior Dacheng.
This made him, who had no one to guide him along the way, as if he had seen a new world and gained new insights.
The reason why celestial phenomena are called celestial phenomena is because when a warrior reaches this point, every word and action can bring the resonance of the vitality of the sea, thereby attracting wind and thunder, rain and snow, and blazing sun...... Causing a series of celestial changes. In fact, these celestial phenomena are just natural phenomena caused by the cultivation process of martial artists, or even in the process of fighting, and they are only incidental and insignificant.
For a martial artist, the martial arts concept contained in the inner court is the real fundamental core.
So when they were in Jiangtai Mansion, Yuan Jie and the others did not resonate. On the one hand, it is indeed because of the confidentiality of the identity, I don't want to cause too much movement and attract attention, but on the other hand, I don't need to do this at all, triggering the celestial phenomena, I can only scare the low-level martial artists, which is a joke for the masters who are also at the peerless level, but every move and style they seem to be ordinary contains their own martial arts true meaning, which is where the real killing move lies.
Thinking of this, the aura on Chen An's body changed faintly, and the vague connection with the sea of vitality was completely broken, and a touch of sharp qi appeared in the inner courtyard, and it completely returned to calm, and the whole person existed between this heaven and earth, which seemed much more real.
He opened his eyes, there was no more fierce color in his eyes, ordinary like a boy next door, except that his temperament became more sunny and confident, there was nothing special. It was not until this moment that Chen An reached the same stage as Yuanjie and others, returning to the basics.
The so-called celestial phenomena are just the speculations of the ignorant about the peerless masters, and in terms of the real cultivation process, the resonance of the vitality is the unity of heaven and man, and the subsequent collection of celestial phenomena is to return to the basics. This release and collection is in line with the meaning of human breathing, and the spirit of Xianmen is complete, embracing Cheng Dan has the same magic, and the road is different and the same way has been confirmed at this moment.
I didn't have time to study the path of Xianmen, Chen An carefully understood the mystery between the collection and release of the spirit and spirit, and seemed to have gained something, following this feeling, he suddenly recalled Jiang Tai's shot, and the horror of the same sound of heaven and earth still echoed in his mind.
The inner court is outwardly manifest, and interfering with reality with thought and will is for the outside scene, what should it be called the thinking concept that forcibly conquers others and overrides everything with one's own martial will? How far is he from the grandmaster? How strong should the real grandmaster be?
Chen An didn't think about it anymore, because these were not the levels he could touch for the time being, and finding Xiaoguang as soon as possible was the purpose of his coming to Shangluo, and the cart and cart could not be reversed.
In this Lingshu Temple, pilgrims come and go, and they can't figure out the difference between the monk's temple and the Taoist temple, so they tell their own bodies and complain about others without any hindrance in front of the Sanqing statue in the apse. I don't know that the Big Dipper Star Monarch enshrined in the central hall is the true god of this spiritual view. In the hearts of the crowd, they thought that worshipping the gods of course had to worship the great gods, and they brought the greedy wolf star monarch, Wenqu Xingjun, and Wuqu Xingjun in the other side halls...... There are few incense sticks in one or two, and those who are wronged are going to die.
But this also cheapened Chen An, so he sat in the pine forest, and heard their words clearly with enough strength. Although these complaints and prayers bring too many personal feelings, Chen An's old profession is to do this, and he is the best at finding the information he needs in some complicated and complicated information.
After careful distinction, he restored the current form of Yunzhou City to a rough idea, and also understood how the misunderstanding came about a few days ago.
Now that King Xuan is in retreat and preparing to cast a golden body, many forces are not optimistic about him, so they encourage his two sons to earn the throne, and the top forces such as Zhangye Jiang's family, Xianmen, the imperial court, and Yidi have all emerged, making the entire Shangluo City rumorful.
This discovery made Chen An smile bitterly, lamenting that it was really not the right time for him to come, and rashly getting involved in a battle at this level with his strength would be a cannon fodder at best. Now I can only lurk here, slowly figure out the role of Kite Jie in it, straighten out the context and then plan for the future.
"This Daoist brother invited ......"
Just when Chen An was blind in the face of the current situation, a warm voice sounded from behind him. With Chen An's martial arts, of course, he will not be ignorant of those who are behind him. But he made up his mind to lurk in the Spiritual Temple, and he had the idea of completely integrating into it, so he needed an entry point, and now this entry point was sent to the door by himself.
This Lingshu view has also been brilliant, experienced the reward of King Xuan, with servants and miscellaneous servants, and more than 1,000 Taoist priests of all sizes, Chen An didn't believe that they could all know each other, so he didn't impostor, and directly stood up and turned around and asked, "Brother Dao, why did you call me?"
Standing in front of Chen An is also a little Taoist priest, quite young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a blue Taoist robe like Chen An, wearing a mixed yuan scarf, but it seems to reveal an elegant atmosphere, as if he has been reading the book of sages instead of the Tao Te Ching.
His appearance and voice are as warm as his voice, giving people the feeling that he is three points weak and seven points firm, if it weren't for Chen An's confident eyesight, he would have thought that the other party was pretending to be a little Daogu.
"In the next abruptness, dare to ask where is the Daoist brother on duty?"
Chen Anxin was empty, thinking that if this product came up to ask such sharp words, did he find something, or just questioned my laziness. He is not a mortal after all, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he said nonsense: "The patrol ordered me to clean this bamboo forest." β
In the view, the patrol is the head of the liao department, and his subordinates are in charge of a handyman, who knows which one they are? There is always nothing wrong with saying this.
The little Taoist priest really didn't doubt it, and his heart was relieved when he heard this, and he didn't care that Chen An didn't even have a broom in his hand, so he continued: "Gao Gong ordered me to go to Liuli Street and find a master to help rub the scriptures, I don't know if my brother can accompany me through this experience." β
"Of course you can, let's go now?" Chen An clapped his hands and straightened his clothes and happily agreed, he didn't have anything to do here, and if he followed this little Taoist priest, he might be able to get out with his identity. Different from the temporary workers under the patrol, as long as he does not leave the little Taoist priest after completing the task, it is very likely that he will work under Gao Gong's hands and become a regular worker with an organization, which is simply a pillow sent by sleepiness.
"Good," the little Taoist priest nodded, and walked out with Chen An, asking as he walked, "In Xia Ji Hong, I don't know what to call my brother?"
Chen Anxin said that he was not an ordained Taoist priest, but he actually used his real name, so he also spit out two words: "Chen An". Time has passed, and when he said this name again, Chen Anxin no longer had the heart-wrenching feeling he had at the beginning, the past had passed, and his name was just a code name. Whether it is Jun Yueyi or Chen An, it is just a title, fearless of the past, and the past has gone with the wind.
The two walked out of the Lingshu Temple all the way, and walked towards Duanmaofang and Liuli Street, talking and laughing during the period, and gradually became familiar. Ji Hong's little Taoist priest still retains the innocence unique to his age, but Chen An is already an old fritter, while pretending to be naΓ―ve, he inquired about a lot of things in the Lingshu Temple, made up for his biggest shortcoming, and got closer and closer to the Taoist priest in the Guanzhong, so that Ji Hong had no doubts about his identity at all.
In this process, Chen An deliberately approached, and Ji Hong was defenseless, after a lot of nonsense, before he reached the end trade workshop, Ji Hong had already introduced him as a confidant.
When he came to Liuli Street, Chen An pointed to the shops on the left and right to show Ji Hong the homework he had done when he first attacked Shangluo: "In addition to the antique calligraphy and painting industry, this Liuli Street is a bookmaker, and the bookstore they opened will be a little further inside." β
"That's right," Chen An walked a few more steps with Ji Hong, pointing to a small flag with black characters on a yellow background painted with the word "book": "That is the largest Minghai bookstore in the entire Shangluo City, their books and rubbing technology are the best in Shangluo City, of course, the price is also expensive, if you don't have enough funds, Brother Dao, I still recommend the Li Ji Bookstore next to you, their things are also good and cheap." β
"No, Gao Gong said to be the best. Ji Hongcai said in a bold manner, and at the same time admired Chen An and sighed in his heart that he had found the right person: "Brother Dao knows so much about this little thing in the outside world, he is really very human." β
"Where, I didn't enter the market before I entered the view, and of course I know a little bit about the roads here. Chen An said a little modestly.
The two entered the Minghai Bookstore together, and there were many people coming and going, and there was a scene of thriving business. Seeing this, Ji Hong also felt that he had found the right place, and expressed his intention to see the boss directly to the shopkeeper.
And Chen An paid more attention to it, the anecdotal and strange books sold very well, indicating that the stable and harmonious situation in Yunzhou City has not been destroyed, and people still have the heart to buy these things to pass the spiritual life, if it is really a big chaos, they should be more concerned about firewood, rice, oil and salt, who has time to pay attention to these villain books.
From this, it can be known that the battle of the superstructure has not affected the small people of Dousheng at all, and what the bigwigs of the fighting parties want is a prosperous Yunzhou, not a dilapidated Shangluo, so they are all very restrained, and the struggle has certain limitations, that is to say, it is a correct decision to hide in the market.
