Chapter 148: Divine Friendship
Chu Yingchan sat in front of the candle flame, the flickering candlelight reflected her face, the fairy spell was bright red, her face was flushed, she combed her messy hair with one hand, and the other hand involuntarily touched the tabletop, the candle flame jumped violently, and the woman's slightly closed eyes reflected the firelight, which changed instantly.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Shouxi leaned over to help her trembling shoulder.
Chu Yingchan's shoulder was touched, her body couldn't help trembling, and she hurriedly pushed Lin Shouxi away, "Don't touch me." β
Her voice was cold and stern, but soon softened again, and she apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... for the teacher"
The fairy in the white dress bit her lip, unable to accurately convey the emotions in her heart.
When the giant building slowly turned to the hour, the red mark on the center of her eyebrows flickered, and an emotion that did not belong to her slammed into the heart lake strongly, stirring up thousands of waves, she tried her best to calm down, but the trend of thought turned into countless ripples, shaking endlessly, making her unable to be quiet.
After a moment of respite, Chu Yingchan's fingertips lit up, nodded her eyebrows, and after some struggle, her slender shoulders no longer trembled, and her body relaxed a little.
She suppressed the emotions in her heart, but when she opened her eyes, there were still wisps of cold mist in her eyes that should have been clear, although she sat dignified and elegant, she revealed a kind of weakness that was rare in the past, and she just wanted to be embraced.
"For the teacher...... Let you see the smile... Chu Yingchan said softly.
"What's the laugh, in Master's eyes, am I the kind of villain who gloats?" Lin Shouxi sat down in front of her again, and he could feel that Chu Yingchan's breath was still chaotic.
"No, it's just that today is only the fourth day, and I'll ......" Chu Yingchan didn't want to continue, she was a little suspicious of herself.
"Luo Chu'e is full of tricks, and maybe there are other tricks mixed in, we should be united and the enemy, not distracted and blamed." Lin Shouxi earnestly admonished.
Having said that, the timing of the Slaanesh incantation was also beyond Lin Shouxi's expectations, he originally thought that they had at least ten days, but now that it looks like seven days may be the limit.
Thankfully, they came up with a strategy in time.
Chu Yingchan meditated and breathed for a while, and her eyes returned to clarity.
In retrospect, the feeling was also wonderful, an invisible flame burning into her heart, not burning, but emitting an unusually bright light, illuminating many of her long-forgotten memories.
She remembered the scene when she was a child mixed into the honor guard and slipped out of the deep palace to play in the market, she went around and around in the crowded streets for a small half a day, except for picking up a small copper coin, there was nothing to gain, the mother found her in the evening, the mother was in a hurry, tearful eyes hugged her, couldn't bear to be harsh, she carried herself back to the palace, the palace banquet was dispersed, an old man did not leave, he is a famous phase master in the Chu country, people only look at fate, do not collect money, has already moved the world.
Chu Miao led her to meet the Xiangshi and asked the Xiangshi what he thought, but the Xiangshi stopped and only asked her to give him the copper coin in her right hand. Along the way, she clenched her right hand and never opened it, even Chu Miao didn't know that she was holding an ancient coin in her hand.
Xiangshi took the ancient coin, looked at it for a moment, and said: "There is no truth under the fame, Her Royal Highness the princess inherits the shade of the Chu country, and the Zhongxiu of the Ningshen Mountain, which can be entrusted with the mandate of heaven, and the lower Keze is ten thousand towns, and it is difficult to find the second through the ages, and it is worthy of being the daughter of the queen's mother, but it is ......."
"Just what?"
In the past, Chu Miao didn't believe in Fang Shi, but she loved her daughter, and it was inevitable to be happy to hear such praise, but the old master's sudden words made her frown again, "Fate is impermanent, it doesn't hurt to say something wrong, Mr. doesn't have to swallow and spit out." β
Xiangshi suddenly laughed and continued: "It's just that when Her Royal Highness the princess starts a sect in the future, he must be cautious, and his disasters and fate, love and sins will all meet here. β
Chu Miao nodded, smiling rather than smiling.
Xiangshi handed back the copper coin, said goodbye and left, this memory was quickly blurred in Chu Yingchan's mind, and for a long time, Chu Miao never mentioned it again. She didn't believe in Xiangshi's words, because in her arrangement, her daughter, as a royal daughter, would inherit the throne of Chu in the future, and she was the future empress, so why should she start a sect?
Distant memories come flooding back.
Chu Yingchan didn't know why she thought of this, they were like bubbles gushing out of the dark lake, breaking one after another, splashing into a blurry and chaotic shadow.
"Well, what the vain said is very true, we ...... Let's practice first. Chu Yingchan said.
Lin Shouxi saw that she had recovered and had no objections, and the young man sat upright and began to try to remove the influence of Slaanesh with her.
The master and apprentice sat cross-legged, pinching the trick in their hands, their lips moved, and they recited the key to the heart in a very soft voice, and the qi pill turned up in the body, accelerating continuously, and the flowing true qi washed through the meridians, forming a circle, and the circle of the true qi of the two continued to spread, extending to the outside of the body, and slowly blending together.
The flickering candle flame calmed down again.
With the fusion of true qi, they also reached a certain strange resonance in their spirits - as if their souls were out of the body, a space between the two of them was built that belonged to them, and their thoughts blended and merged into one.
The candle in the center happens to be their medium.
They have been studying for three days, and all kinds of details have already been negotiated, and they are reciting the Heart Sutra together, and the handprints in their hands are constantly changing, sometimes like a tiger, sometimes like a crane, like the fickle sea of clouds on the Yunkong Mountain.
After reciting the Heart Sutra, both of them sat in the heavens and the earth like the corpses of gods, forgetting themselves and forgetting themselves, only instinctively reaching out their palms and closing each other.
Boom β
The spiritual world was like a tidal tide colliding together, and in the sudden roar, a silent world unfolded between them, in this world, desires and memories were stripped of their bodies and turned into countless obscure stars, suspended around them, endlessly born and dying.
This is the spiritual inner house they have carved out.
In the center of the spiritual inner mansion, a big tripod contained clear light, countless snow flakes spit out from the hearth, as Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan approached, the red fire burned, reflecting the spiritual bodies of the two almost transparent, they comprehended, closed their eyes, and threw themselves into it together, and the sky-high fire enveloped them.
From the outside, they all looked cold and expressionless, and they couldn't see the strange changes that were taking place in the spiritual world, but they could also get a glimpse of one or two from the candle flame between them.
I saw that the flame was divided into two bundles, they were intertwined with each other, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, pulling up and down, left and right, sometimes soaring high, sometimes flattening, fierce and abnormal.
About half an hour later, the flames turned from red to white, and exploded.
Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes were black and white.
The fire was gone, and there was no trace of it.
They gasped for breath and it took a long time for them to calm down.
Chu Yingchan clearly remembered the process of the flow of desire and evil in Fang Cai's inner house, and when it was precipitated from the spiritual body, it brought an incomparable feeling, as if a person who had been guilty for a long time had untied his heavy shackles, and a fish that had been dying for a long time jumped into a clear stream, if it weren't for her firm mind, she would definitely drown in this feeling.
"Is this the Spiritual Inner House?"
Lin Shouxi pressed his eyebrows, and after his soul was stable, he exhaled a breath of fresh air and opened his mouth leisurely.
"Well, the human spiritual world is already wonderful and abnormal, and many cultivators also like to sit around and open up the spiritual inner house to discuss secrets when discussing important matters...... Of course, the premise of opening up this inner house is that the mind and thinking are compatible, and it is the first time I have had such an experience. Chu Yingchan said.
Now they are still unfamiliar, and one day after mastering it, the two of them will be able to open up their private realm of divine consciousness anytime and anywhere, and do unknown things in it.
Chu Yingchan realized that wonderful feeling, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, in the legend, that mysterious sea of twilight is the spiritual inner mansion opened up by the ancient gods. β
Sea of Twilight......
Lin Shouxi couldn't help but think of the scene where the twilight shrouded the world in the Guardian God Domain, the secrets of these ancient gods were too far away from him, and he didn't ask the gods much, just looked at the woman in front of him with concern, and asked:
"How does Master feel? Are there any discomforts? β
"No, I feel...... Very good. Chu Yingchan couldn't describe her feelings, so she asked rhetorically, "What about you?" β
"Me too." Lin Shouxi said.
In the Qingguang Ding of the Inner Mansion, Chu Yingchan's crystal divine body was suspended in the middle, and the spell mark peeled off from her soul, melted by the flames, but became the nourishment for his cultivation, he could feel that his mental method was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it would not be long before he could step into a new level.
As a blessing in disguise, the spell mark that Luo Chu'e used to tease them turned out to be their cultivation resource, and as long as this spell mark existed for a day, this resource was inexhaustible.
The two of them had a pair of eyes, tacitly acknowledging.
Of course, the curse mark is deep-rooted, and Lin Shouxi's Ding Huo is the most inferior red fire, and the impact of breaking the curse mark is water grinding kung fu, which is by no means easy to do once or twice, fortunately, they are not short of time now.
Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan rested for a while and started cultivating again.
The Hehuan Sutra Mental Method operated, and the spiritual inner house opened up again, accommodating them, and they became more and more proficient, and after about seven or eight times, the evil desires that were born today were refined.
The two practiced selflessly, and when they came back to their senses, the giant building was already in the position of Shen Shi.
The master and apprentice got up and paced, and only sat down again after some activity, Chu Yingchan was nourished by the mental method and also benefited a lot, she looked at Lin Shouxi, smiled and asked:
"How much do you gain from practicing today?"
"Thanks to Master's guidance, I have gained a lot."
Lin Shouxi replied with a glance, he could feel that the realm he had been staying in for a long time was really rising, and a breakthrough was just around the corner.
"I didn't expect this mental technique to be so mysterious, in the past, I only cultivated the orthodox mental technique of Yunkong Mountain, but I missed a lot of different scenery." Chu Yingchan couldn't help but sigh.
"It's also thanks to Master's broad-mindedness and courage to try, unlike Mu Shijing, who will only sneer and add to the chaos." Lin Shouxi said with a smile.
"Mu Shijing ......"
Chu Yingchan's mind came up with the face of the girl in the stunning black dress, she had been with her for a short time and was not familiar with her, so she asked, "What do you ...... to her?" Seems like a big opinion? β
"Well, we used to be enemies." Lin Shouxi said.
"Enemy...... Chu Yingchan thought for a while and said, "It turns out that Shizun is far away, and he is going to your hometown with Mu Shijing." β
"Well, Mu Shijing became Shizun's apprentice very early." Lin Shouxi said.
"Very early...... How early is it? β
"It was about five or six years old." Lin Shouxi couldn't give an accurate answer.
Are you five or six years old......
It seems that she has another senior sister, but she just calls someone younger than herself a senior sister, Chu Yingchan is still difficult to accept for a while.
This also proves the correctness of Zhuohe's words - it is not that you can be a sister when you are old, but in many cases, it is the first to strike.
Chu Yingchan shook her head, putting these useless nonsense behind her, she looked at Lin Shouxi, and found that this young man couldn't help laughing, she always felt that he was thinking about something bad, and she didn't ask more.
After practicing all day, the two of them were very tired, but they also insisted on staying up until midnight.
In the middle of the night, the Slaanesh curse recurred.
This time, Chu Yingchan had already taken precautions, and she didn't show any embarrassment, she nodded her eyebrows lightly with her fingers, realized it, nodded lightly, and signaled to reassure him.
After learning that the slaanese curse seal was really stabilized, Lin Shouxi was truly relieved.
They were about to go to rest when the knock on the window rang out again.
Zhuo He didn't know what happened between them, but she knew the power of the slaanesh curse, so when she saw Chu Yingchan's calm and still calm cheeks, she exclaimed incredibly, and praised Chu Yingchan non-stop, thinking that she was a real ice and snow beauty, which was very different from those who wore a white dress and were tall.
Chu Yingchan was ashamed when she heard this, and couldn't help pursing her lips and hanging her neck, feeling that she was the little fairy who wore a white dress all day long and pretended to be spotless in Zhuo He's mouth.
This time, Zhuo He gave him some thoughts from his fellow inmates.
Lin Shouxi took it with thanks, looked at it again, and only felt that the performance of the inmates was very stable, and some people's ideas coincided with the Yunkong Mountain Sect, he imagined a tragic future for Luo Chu'e, and imposed a unique curse, hoping that this future would continue to emerge back to her.
There are also two solutions provided, one is to escape, the other is to destroy, he thinks that the immortal country is the 'boundary', as long as it is the realm, there must be a way to escape, he calculated the speed required to escape, that is a speed dozens of times faster than the sound, it is impossible to achieve it with their current realm, the other is to form a formation to attract meteorites to attack, smashing open the netherworld, he also said that this idea is not whimsical, after his observation, thousands of years ago, there were indeed meteorites in this world, bringing terrible disasters.
There is also a cellmate who is a well-known poisoner, he has developed a set of internal poison refining methods, but he has not thought of the means to implement it for the time being, but fortunately, another wise cellmate has filled it in, that cellmate seems to be a succubus, she persuaded Lin Shouxi to surrender as soon as possible, seduced Luo Chu'e, and injected the refined venom into her body when exchanging with her......
"It's so vicious." Lin Shouxi couldn't help but say.
"Of course, you have to be vicious to the enemy." Chu Yingchan leaned aside to watch, she held her chin with her hand and said with a smile.
"I mean, it's too bad for yourself." Lin Shouxi sighed.
"Hmm...... However, there are merits to this approach. Chu Yingchan said.
"Well, compared to what other people think, he is the most normal one......" Lin Shouxi said, realizing that something was wrong, he looked at Chu Yingchan and asked, "Do you want me to try this method?" β
Chu Yingchan smiled softly, she blinked, and said: "Naluo Chu'e is the first saintess of the Holy Land Temple, and she is one of the most beautiful goddesses in the world, whether it is her appearance, birth or realm, she is top-notch, and it is okay to use it with my apprentice, huh...... Don't you look down on her? She has the seed of a true immortal in her. β
Lin Shouxi was very helpless, Chu Yingchan was still a gentle and kind fairy model when she left Yunkong Mountain with him, it has only been a few days, how can he learn these words that make fun of people, this is ...... Is it considered black for those who are close to ink?
It shouldn't be...... Obviously, he is also a model of a righteous gentleman.
"I already have Xiao He as my fiancΓ©e, and I have nothing else to ask for." Lin Shouxi was loyal and never left a handle for Chu Yingchan.
"Have you never thought of having three wives and four concubines?" Chu Yingchan looked at him and continued to ask.
Lin Shouxi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Never." β
"It's my good apprentice." Chu Yingchan felt that his hesitation was very suspicious, but she still praised him.
"Of course." Lin Shouxi nodded.
Although she praised herself, Lin Shouxi still felt that the master had signs of deterioration, and he decided to make up for it tomorrow...... No, take the opportunity to punish her when she is cultivating and make her feel awe.
Lin Shouxi pondered some righteous actions, and suddenly remembered Chu Yingchan's words just now, so he asked, "By the way, what is the true immortal seed that Master just said?" β
"Hmm......" Chu Yingchan's mind wandered, and said, "Do you remember the ring on Luo Chu'e's finger?" β
"Remember, what's the mystery of that ring?"
Lin Shouxi remembered the ring inlaid with sparks, which was the most glorious part of her body.
"The flame particle set in that ring is the seed of the True Immortal, it is a symbol of the beginning of her bloodline, which connects her with all her descendants, and will continue to do so. After obtaining this true immortal seed, she also had to manipulate countless people who took her as the starting point in disguise, including her most famous descendants...... From time to time. β
Chu Yingchan explained to him seriously, "It stands to reason that the seeds of true immortals should be kept in the Holy Soil Temple, they are inlaid on the top of the temple, and they are guarded by the emperor himself, like stars. Unexpectedly, Luo Chu'e did not hand over his true immortal seed. β
After Lin Shouxi came to this world, he saw a lot of gods and things, but he still couldn't help but be shocked every time he heard something new.
Listening to Chu Yingchan's statement, Lin Shouxi immediately thought of another word:
"Origin?"
This is the only true god in the ancient period recorded in the scroll of manifestation, the god of origin, who was ranked with paleness.
"Well, the seed of the true immortal is also similar to the origin, according to legend, the god of the origin holds the origin of almost all life in the world, it can destroy any race at will, and it is the supreme existence." Chu Yingchan said.
Destroy any race...... Lin Shouxi couldn't help but think of the legendary Zhu Clan Divine Sword, could it be that this is a relic of the God of Origin?
"How can such a great life disappear?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"How does Master know?" Chu Yingchan smiled slightly, she pondered for a while, and said: "Maybe it's because of the dragon, in mythology, the god of origin is the only one who has not mastered the origin of the dragon clan, and the origin of the dragon clan is - pale." β
The secrets of prehistory are hundreds of millions of years old, and the thousand-year-old history of mankind is like dust on the crest of the waves, and they only discuss it for a while and then go back to their rooms to rest.
It is still Chu Yingchan sleeping inside, Lin Shouxi sleeping outside, and the black ruler symbolizing the precepts is separated in the middle.
This black ruler is just a symbolic meaning, and what really restricts them is their superb moral bottom line.
Tonight, too, they slept well.
Lin Shouxi had another dream.
In the dream, he returned to the spiritual realm, the red flame burned non-stop, and on the opposite side of the flame, there was a faint fairy shadow of Chu Yingchan out of the dust, just like the snow that never melts in the fireworks.
When Lin Shouxi woke up, Chu Yingchan didn't know when he had already stayed, he glanced at the black ruler beside him, the black ruler was straight, not the slightest crooked.
Chu Yingchan put on snow-white clothes and was combing her hair in front of the mirror, her thin eyebrows were not described, her red lips were not erased, her skin was like snow, she had not had time to put on shoes and socks, her slender thighs loomed between the white skirts, and the jade feet pressed under the skirt were dusty and exquisite.
Lin Shouxi tidied up his clothes, sat down at the table and watched the candles, meditating.
In the early morning, the two of them performed the master-apprentice etiquette, and after casually talking about some swordsmanship cultivation, they began to practice again.
In the spiritual inner house, Chu Yingchan's spiritual body is in the center of the Ding furnace, Lin Shouxi is the Ding, the fire, and everything that accommodates her.
In the flames, the terrifying slaanesh was constantly precipitated, incinerated, and turned into pure power that flowed back into their bodies, endlessly.
At noon, Lin Shouxi opened his eyes, and there was a golden light flashing in the depths of his pupils.
"I'm in the realm of gold." Lin Shouxi said.
This bottleneck, which was supposed to be polished for at least half a year, was easily stepped over by him, and in these thirty days, he could even try to impact the Yuan Chi Realm.
Chu Yingchan also benefited a lot, in this process, she was no longer dominated by desire, but became a bystander, she watched it curiously, watched it expand and contract, watched it change, and grasped a certain unchanging 'one' from it.
This went on for another four days.
It's been eight days since I was imprisoned.
The blackbird hovering on the giant building will return to the palace every day, and bring some pictures back through the bird's pupil, in Luo Chu'e's perspective, they are really playing the role of master and apprentice seriously, meticulous, and without distractions, as if this is not an immortal country, but the immortal court of Yunkong Mountain.
It stands to reason that the curse of Slaanesh should have been out of control a long time ago, how can it ......
She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't think her judgment was wrong.
On the ninth day, Luo Chu'e finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to go and see it for herself.
