Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he rode back to Xiao's mansion.

Her two elder brothers are really hit hard today: an immortal who has lost the bright moon and the bright pine wind; An ice sculpture's face cracked, like a new ice crack in Junzhou.

She felt that her mother didn't tell them that they had a younger sister, she just wanted to see them have fun. I think that when she learned from her mother yesterday that she had two older brothers, her surprised expression also pleased her. She didn't blame Li Yuzhen for not telling her about it, presumably she thought it would be best for her mother to sue her...... Xiao Yan also felt that it should be so.

The carriages and horses rolled out of Anxingfang, across the street is Yongxingfang, the carriages and horses went north along this Anyong Street, went out of the street into Tonghua Street, and turned west to be the north wall of Yongxingfang.

Everyone returned to Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Yan and the three cousins followed Xiao Hui to the main courtyard, and after they sat down in the Warm Pavilion, the three cousins reported their conversations with several Pei children in Pei's Mansion, each person's impression of them and so on. Xiao Hui made comments one by one. It was only at this time that the visit to Pei's Mansion was truly over. Presumably, Pei Fu is also doing the same thing. Xiao Yan thought to himself, a continuous family is to educate children to grow up in this way. Together, these subtle rules form the Maison's principles, allowing it to move forward like a river. As the fourteenth uncle Xiao Xin said in the Jingdao Hall: "The decay of the family must first rot in the details, just like the embankment collapses in the anthill." …… To sustain the traditions of the Maison is to uphold the rules that are beneficial to the lineage. ”

All kinds of rules become the norms......

Rules, guidelines......

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan went back on the same road, and their minds were still haunted by "rules, guidelines, rules", and they always felt that they had caught something, and they didn't even hear Xiao Yan talk to her, and suddenly stopped, "whoosh" and got up, jumped into the lotus pond that was passing, and stepped on the withered lotus leaves with their toes like the wind.

Xiao Yi was dumbfounded, and after a moment, he patted his head and rolled his eyes to the sky, "I've had enough." "Obviously, the talent has already thrown off a lot of people, and I have to come to understand it from time to time, how can these cousins, who can only play health boxing, live? Xiao Yi decisively decided that the next time the wine order was executed, she would be fined seventeen to make five, six, seven or eight poems, and then poke her in the face with blood. He laughed twice in his heart, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.

Xiao Yan only felt that she was like a gust of wind, no, she was already the wind, the autumn water knife resonated with the wind in her hands, and she stepped on the residual load under her feet, but she didn't feel her weight, at this moment, she was the wind.

Since the Battle of Red Mountain in Tubo, she has been thinking from time to time, how did Li Yuzhen achieve the Five Elements of Ruijin? When she was in the palace of Tubo, she had an epiphany and entered meditation, and once vaguely touched that layer of rules, but after all, she saw flowers in a fog and did not see clearly. She wasn't depressed, and it was already a chance that she could faintly touch a little. Later, when she went to Xiaoshan, she read the notes of the predecessors of the Xiao family in the lecture tower, and had several feelings, so accumulated, she had today's feelings as if she suddenly touched a knob, and the mechanism "clicked" to open, revealing the doorway.

All things in heaven and earth are born from the five elements, and what do the five elements come from? The five elements come from "one", this "one" is called Taiji, one life two, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, "two" is yin and yang, yin and yang transform the five elements, that is, all things in heaven and earth. Martial arts cultivation of the inner element, this inner element is the vitality of heaven and earth, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The human body is also composed of five elements, five internal organs and six internal organs, each of which belongs to the five natures of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Once the organs of one attribute are weakened, the five elements will be destroyed, and the whole life will be aged, until death.

Xiao Chi told Xiao Yan that the ultimate in martial arts practice is the pursuit of endless life.

But why does it keep going?

Taoism, Buddhism, and Mohism each have their own understandings.

In terms of Xiao Yan's cultivation method, it is still dislocated from Taoism, which talks about the balance of the five elements, mutual birth and transformation, so as to be endless-for example, martial arts talk about the homology of essence and blood, this is because the liver hides blood, the kidney produces essence, and the liver belongs to wood, the kidney belongs to water, and the water is wood, if the kidney essence is not strong, the liver and blood are weak. Therefore, Taoist exercises are actually the cultivation of the five elements, each of which is strong and balanced, and it will be endless.

However, the Mo family found a unique way, believing that the five elements are of course mutually reinforcing, but they are also mutually restrictive, and it is better to return to the "one", so they created the way of the sword and specialized in cultivating the qi of sharp gold. Therefore, kendo is very strong, because Jin's attack power itself is the strongest of the five elements, and the integration of the five elements is equivalent to the superposition of attack power by five times; But kendo is also dangerous because of this, once the body can't keep up, the body will be too strong to bear because of the sharp gold qi, burst and die, so the kendo master is far less than the master who cultivates the Five Elements Exercises.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Xiao Yan to realize the Five Elements One, because she is not cultivating swordsmanship.

She cultivates the Five Elements Yuan Force, which is born from balance and endlessly.

However, the five elements of heaven and earth are all branches of the origin of the Great Dao, and the "one" of chaos is the true power of the origin. If the five elements are rules, then the "one" of heaven and earth is the rule, and from the rules to the rules, this is the avenue - so the origin of the Tao is not the balance of the five elements, nor the five elements into one, but the integration of the five elements!

Is that so?

Xiao Yan's perception and comprehension accumulated in his heart were triggered at this moment.

The intention is to go with your heart, and the heart of the road is harmonious and clear.

At the moment when she jumped into the lotus pool, the glazed lotus platform in her spiritual platform was extremely crystalline, as if it was transparent.

Then she became the wind.

The wind belongs to wood, and the five elements are one.

No, it's not the five elements in one, she is far from reaching the level of touching that "one". In her dantian, the qi of the five elements is like two yin and yang fish, spinning at high speed into a circle with black and white, and white and black...... In an instant, it turns black and white into the cyan of wood.

Xiao Yan entered a wonderful state at this moment, and she seemed to feel that she had touched the rules of heaven and earth.

But this state did not last long, and she fell into the water with a "plop".

At this time, Xiao Yan's big sleeves fluttered and he hadn't taken a few steps, when he heard the voice behind him, he turned around in surprise, and saw Xiao Yan falling in the lotus pool, the pool water and her chest, and she suddenly fell to her feet and laughed.

Xiao Yan jumped to the watery pavilion corridor of the lotus pond with all his body in water, stood on the stone railing and lowered his head in contemplation, regardless of the water slapping all over his body.

Xiao Yi laughed for a while, left a sentence of "Yuezhi, you think slowly", and left in a happy mood.

Xiao Yan could never return to that state. The kind of chaotic rules that she seems to be able to touch with her hand, as if they are mirrors, reaching out, it is empty. She sighed, knowing that this kind of realization was hard to come by, and she had to wait for the next trigger.

But this realization was not without benefits, and she clearly felt that her divine sense had increased a little.

Her heart jumped.

Because the Dao mind was rounded at that moment, did it directly promote the growth of divine consciousness?

Heart, one with God.

Cultivating the mind, that is, cultivating nature; And refining the gods is refining the heart.

Xiao Yan once again deeply felt this truth.

She turned around and shook off the water on her body, and then returned to Jinsu Courtyard in this half-wet dress.

Woad quickly boiled hot water, and An Yexi carried it into the bath bucket.

Xiao Yan suddenly thought when she was taking a bath - in fact, it was not suddenly, she had this doubt when she saw her two elder brothers, their ages seemed to be too different from herself.

He should have been born three years after his mother gave Pei Juma Shouxiao, so that the age difference between him and the second brother is only three years at most, and the difference between him and the eldest brother is five years - the second brother should not exceed twenty, and the eldest brother is twenty-two.

But then she thought that the two elder brothers should be this age, after all, it is not accurate to look at appearance, just like outsiders look at her, thinking that they have reached the crown, but in fact, they are not yet seventeen; And the mother looks like a young woman of twenty-seven or eighteen, charming like a flower, and ripe and full like a peach, how can she be like a woman who is not confused by her age?

Xiao Yan got up and dressed, thinking that his eldest brother had become a relative, and he didn't know what kind of character his sister-in-law was, so he was worthy of this "immortal" eldest brother, so he looked forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow.

The next day is the twenty-nineth, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, Xiao Yan and several cousins followed his eldest uncle to visit two other families with the surname A - Jingzhao Weishi and Jingzhao Dushi.

On the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve, the visits of the major families stopped, and the morning was all sacrifices, and from noon to the evening was the family banquet for the reunion of the family, including the royal family.

After Xiao Yan's lunch and family banquet, he played with his cousins who were close to him, and Shen Shi found an excuse to come out, went back to the courtyard to change his robes, and took Xiao Jisi and An Yexi out of the house and rode their horses to Changle Fang.

This time, she entered directly through the west gate of the original Huiji Guangling Princess Mansion in Beiqu.

The old people of the original princess's mansion were used in the mansion of Beiqu, and the door was instructed early in the morning, and when he saw Xiao Yan, he called him "San Langjun", and he saluted and let him in.

Xiao Jisi and An Yexi were secretly surprised, but seeing that Xiao Yan didn't mean to explain, they were silent, Xiao Yan turned back to the two of them: "You go back to the Xiao Mansion first, and come back tomorrow." If the ninth brother asked, he would say that I was visiting an elder, and the eldest uncle knew. ”

The two of them saluted as promised, and when they saw that Xiao Yan was missing, they turned over and got on the horse, and returned to the horse with a stomach full of doubts.

There are already maids waiting for them at the door.

Xiao Yan was led by the maid to his mother's Jade Courtyard.

Li Yixun just came back from the palace, just bathed and changed clothes, his hair was still wet, he smiled when he saw Xiao Yan, hugged and kissed her cheek, he smelled the faint smell of wine on her body, let go of her and smiled: "Baoshu will go to bathe first and change clothes." Wear festive points for the New Year. ”

As soon as Xiao Yan heard the "festive point", she knew that her mother had prepared "colorful" clothes for her again, and said with a smile: "Okay." So I went to the bath to bathe, and when I was dressed, I didn't wear a corseted bandeau anymore, but changed into a hemp prepared by my mother, and then wore an undershirt and a middle coat.

Her robe is really "festive", it is a collared large-sleeved shirt with a halo brocade, also known as the icing on the cake, which is woven into five-color strips with yellow, white, green, pink, and brown colors, which is very gorgeous in itself, and this robe is woven with a very thin weft to weave a silver-red pedicle-shaped small cluster of flowers, the three-inch trim of the placket and sleeves is a golden thread embroidered with a pedicle pattern, and the waist corresponds to the wide band of the red ground purple, green orange, silver and gray four-color woven peony moon season periwinkle - Xiao Yan came out and said to his mother: "It's really colorful." ”

Li Yixun giggled, kissed her on the cheek and said, "No amount of color can rob the color of my family's treasure tree." ”

Her daughter's aura is very strong, she can suppress all the colors, and no matter how many colors she has, she will not feel colorful and colorful, but has a temperament that is beautiful and beautiful among the flowers.

Li Yixun only thinks that her daughter is the best in the world, only one point worse than her, well, half a point.

Li Yixun felt that her daughter would suffer if she liked anyone in the future, and it seemed that she couldn't find someone as beautiful as Fanyin......

"Baoshu, you should like a few more people in the future." Li Yixun felt that this was not a loss.

Xiao Yan was speechless, and said for a while: "It's still not good." It's very tiring to like one person, and I like more than one, so it's not tiring to death? ”

Li Yixun laughed, and pointed the tip of his finger on her forehead, "Everyone only likes three or four points, five or six points, what is there to be tired." ”

Xiao Yan thought silently for a while, felt that she couldn't do it, and shook her head, "I'm still too tired." "Besides, if someone else likes her wholeheartedly, she should also like someone else with all her heart, so how can she be distracted to like a second person? However, don't tell your mother about this - Xiao Yan still hasn't figured it out, does her mother really only like Fanyin, or does she also like Pei Yuma, or her father?

"A-Niang, let's talk." Xiao Yan took her mother and sat on the tent in the reading room.

The west corner of the room burned a gilt carved phoenix beast top three-legged charcoal ding, not very hot, but sitting on the brocade mattress pile of raccoon dog hair on the couch is not cold, Li Yixun. covered with a thin blanket of brocade, half leaning on Xiao Yan's body, enjoying his daughter's fruit, very comfortably.

Xiao Yan smiled and said that she went to Pei's Mansion the day before yesterday, and the two brothers were so frightened when they saw her, Li Yixun heard it and said, "Let him pretend!" I'm usually used to pretending, so my face will crack. "I am very happy to give my son a "scare".

Xiao Yan talked about the meeting in detail, and the three brothers and sisters came out of Pei Shibozu's study and went to the warm pavilion on the side to talk, and the eldest brother and the second brother gave her a meeting gift, and said: "Auntie, I look at the eldest brother like twenty-four or five years old, it shouldn't be so old, right?" ”

Li Yixun ate a small piece of purple persimmon with her hand, and said casually: "Your eldest brother, born in August, is five years older than you and a few months older. ”

That's twenty-one or two years old.

Xiao Yan fed her mother another pomegranate, "What about the second brother?" ”

"Your second brother," a little stunned look appeared on Li Yixun's face, "He was born after the death of your Uncle Pei." ”

Is the second brother actually a posthumous son, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised.

Li Yixun chuckled again, "Your second brother's crown gift in April this year was set two years earlier for the little Jiuniang of the Murong family, and he will marry in February next year, and you can make fun of him when he comes." Your future second sister-in-law is a fire, and it will definitely melt your second brother," Dai Se raised her eyebrows, looking a little gloating, "Let him pretend to be an iceman on weekdays - Baoshu, don't be blinded by his icy and snowy appearance, there is a lot of bad water in your heart." In the future, if you want to be someone in Chang'an, you must be right to find your second brother. ”

Xiao Yan secretly wiped his sweat and coughed: "Won't the eldest brother also be ......?" "That immortal-like nobility really doesn't look like a deceitful one.

Thinking so, she saw her mother's sparkling almond eyes slanting over to look at her and smile, "Do you know why your eldest brother always has a noble temperament with a bright moon and a bright moon, which makes people feel that they cannot be blasphemed?" ”

Xiao Yan had a bad premonition, blinked, and said, "Why?" ”

Li Yixun leaned on her shoulder and smiled crisply, his voice was like a yellow warbler in February, "Because others don't believe it because of calculations." Your eldest brother has been counting people since he was three years old, and few people know his true face until now, and there are people who don't even know that he has carried the black pot for him, giggle......"

Xiao Yan silently shuddered.

Her two brothers were really born to their own mother.
