Looking at Deng Chanyu, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, Qiao Kun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he always thought that he had recognized himself clearly, and there was no confusion in his heart, but it turned out that it was not.

Knowing oneself, accepting oneself, changing oneself, perfecting oneself, and compromising between heaven and man run through the whole process of cultivation.

It's so hard to really know yourself completely.

Even if a golden immortal who has cultivated the Dharma Body is always aware of his own "true nature", he may not be able to see himself completely.

What's more, Qiao Kun does not have a Dharma body, so he can't comprehend his own "true nature" at all.

Qiao Kun used to think that although he cared about Deng Chanyu and liked her, he was not the kind of relationship between lovers and lovers, even if he had a marriage contract, he only regarded her as a child.

But seeing Deng Chanyu so clumsy emotionally, there were ripples in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to respond to her emotions and expectations. It was a pity, a distress, a thought of wanting to be cared for.

His liking for this little girl has begun to develop in the direction of lovers. If it goes on like this, it will turn into love, and it will not be difficult for the two to achieve positive results in the end.

After all, Qiao Kun didn't plan to get out of the marriage, nor did he intend to let her down, everything should have developed like this.

But it wasn't that simple, and he felt he might not have that much time.

The biggest problem is the cause and effect of him and the Western teachings.

He and the West taught cause and effect more and more. From "self-esteem", to "Twenty-four Phase Practice", to "Twelve Yuanchen White Bone Gods and Demons", to "Majestic and Incredible Mingde Method", "The Most Wonderful and Pure Method", and "Mahayana Sutra of the Same Nature".

And since he lamented the wind and frost of the world in the barracks, Qiao Kun seems to be in a certain state of mind, and the thoughts of purity, solemnity, compassion, etc., are full of thoughts, and every thought is transparent and pure.

Obviously, he did not deliberately practice, but the two exercises of "majestic and inconceivable Mingde Method" and "The Most Victorious and Wonderful Pure and Pure Method" were still constantly improving, and the Tao was improved. The Mahayana Sutra of the Same Sex has all kinds of insights.

The Mahayana Sutra of the Same Nature is not an exercise, but a classic that expounds the Great Dao, and is one of the sources of many exercises in the West. In terms of profundity and mystery, it is not under the secret biography of the Jade Void Palace, "Mixed Hole Opening and Robbery".

It stands to reason that this kind of classic should be difficult to get started and difficult to understand, but the reality is that he can easily get started, and he even needs to deliberately understand it by leaps and bounds, and he continues to understand and comprehend many secret methods of Western teaching.

As a result, the Dao Hearts of "I am the only one", "Intentions are like mirrors", and "Affection is reluctant" have also become stronger, more and more subtle, and there are more effects that were not available before.

For example, "if you use your heart like a mirror" can reflect more details and more truth, as for "reluctance", in addition to using it for yourself, you can also sense the feelings of others, and you can also sense your own emotions by others, causing psychological resonance with others.

In addition to this, there are also some awakenings of small supernatural powers. It's not very powerful, but it's fun.

Qiao Kun never thought that he was so suitable for Western teachings. Maybe he ended up teaching a certain Buddha in the West.

If he continued to progress at this rate, maybe it wouldn't take him a hundred years to cultivate to the realm of the Burning Lamp Dao people, and only a hundred years would catch up with the tens of thousands of years of penance of the Burning Lamp Dao, which showed the horror of increasing the speed.

But why is this so? Is the cause and effect of fear of leaving grandchildren so strong? Qiao Kun felt strange in his heart, he looked inward several times, but he couldn't see the problem.

In the end, he reflected himself with the blessing of the "Mahayana Sutra of the Same Sex", "the heart of the Tao is like a mirror", and finally found some clues.

In addition to the cause and effect of the fear of leaving his grandson and the Western Religion, he also has the cause and effect of Shiji Niangniang and the Western Religion.

The cause and effect of the fear of leaving a grandson was borne by him voluntarily, and from then on, he was afraid of leaving a grandson, and there was an existence similar to an incarnation, a body, and a doppelganger.

The "Mahayana Sutra of the Same Nature", "The Sutra of Mixed Cave Opening and Tribulation", "The Majestic and Unthinkable Virtue Law", and "The Most Wonderful and Pure Method" all come from the fear of leaving grandchildren.

The cause and effect between Shi Ji Niangniang and the Western Sect was obtained after he killed Ma Yuan, which was the cause and effect between him and Shi Ji, and the essence of the "God and Demon White Bone Method" was obtained by killing Ma Yuan in exchange.

He also got the "Twelve Yuanchen White Bone God Demon Technique" and the "Shangqing Xuanmen Appearance and No Phase" sword technique from Ma Yuan, and also received a lot of help from Shiji Niangniang.

Calculated together, the two groups of bear cause and effect and do not suffer losses.

It seems that if you want him to bear the cause and effect, you must give him enough benefits.

It's just that Qiao Kun can't help but wonder, what exactly does the Western Religion want to do, how can there be so many people and their cause and effect?

There is a vague feeling that the Western religion is like a money lender, offering help when others need help, and then asking for more later.

Qiao Kun even felt that Pingxin Niangniang might have some cooperation with Western Sects. Because when Pingxin Niangniang protected Kong Xuan, what she asked for from the Western Sect Quasi-Daoist was a cause and effect, but it was rejected by the Quasi-Daoist.

If the Western Sect wants to deal with him in the future, he will use this cause and effect, I am afraid that Hou Tu Niang Niang and Pingxin Niang Niang will also be powerless.

Qiao Kun looked at Deng Chanyu curled up in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know how long he could protect the little girl.

After all, did he want too much? Not only do I want to save my life, but I also want to protect the people around me, and now I want my relationship to have a home.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the orange-red light shone through the shadow of the tree on Deng Chanyu's sleeping face, making her face red. From time to time, the wind blows, and the leaves fall, but they never fall on Qiao Kun and Deng Chanyu.

When there was no sunset in the sky, only a dark red sunset, Deng Chanyu woke up.

It's just that she didn't get up immediately, but on the contrary, she continued to close her eyes, lying in Qiao Kun's arms, as if she felt more comfortable here.

In fact, it is. It is already late autumn, and the cold wind blows from time to time, and the cold air can penetrate the muscles and bones, and Qiao Kun's embrace is of course warmer and more comfortable.

Qiao Kun was not in a hurry, he only used the breeze to compose a piano song and play the tune to her, but this time, it was Ji Chang who taught him the first tune, "Guan Ju".

The words say: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, the ...... of longing"

In fact, he has never learned to sing at all, but the muscles of his whole body, including his vocal cords, can be controlled freely, and he has the rhythm of the bones of the prisoner cow, the bones of the deer and the bones of the mountain, and the voice is tactful and magnetic, lingering and compassionate, showing the mood of the young man.

At this time, Princess Longji and Qingqiu were meditating and recovering their mana, suddenly frowned, took out the "Ice Language" from the "Sleeve Qiankun", gently stroked the strings, and made a very subtle sound, the tune was not complicated, just a song "Guan Ju".

She spoke softly, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”

Hearing this, Qingqiu asked, "Princess, why do you want to play this tune?" "This piece is not technically difficult, and it is not a pleasure to ask the heart, what to play for.

Princess Longji shook her head slightly, but her expression didn't understand, "Even I can't figure out why I want to play this song." ”

When this song was finished, Qiao Kun removed all the shields of the shape and sound, and said to Deng Chanyu: "Chanyu, we should go back." ”

"Don't." Deng Chanyu only turned over in his arms, hugged him reflexively, "Play me another song." ”

"I want to too, but your brother is here and watching."

Deng Chanyu got up immediately when she heard this, and when she saw Deng Xiu not far away, her cheeks instantly flushed, "You...... What are you doing here? ”

"After all, you've been out for a long time, and I'm not at ease." Deng Xiu said and looked at the bright silver kai and silver phoenix helmet that he took off next to him, his face was very exciting, "Brother-in-law, it's still not good to be on the edge of the woods after all." I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything. ”

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Deng Chanyu's face became even redder when she heard this, and she was at a loss, and argued: "We are busy with serious business. ”

Deng Xiu couldn't help nodding, "Of course it's serious." In his opinion, the affairs of men and women are very serious.

Deng Chanyu made an excuse randomly, "I called him out and asked him why he came to Jiamengguan alone?" How many reinforcements came. ”

This is too blunt to change the subject, right? Qiao Kunxin said, I have been holding you for more than an hour, plus other times, there are two hours. Did you ask two words, two hours?

However, he was still honest and replied seriously: "Marshal Jiang sent 37,500 reinforcements to the Sanya Brigade to support Jiamengguan, but I can't rest assured that you can't be relieved, so I came early." ”

Deng Chanyu didn't know what to say, so she said "um" and stopped talking.

Qiao Kun continued: "Later, Chanyu and I were evolving some tunes. Chanyu said that the morale of the soldiers was a little low, and wanted me to help evolve a song to boost morale. ”

"Boost morale? What tunes do you use to boost morale? "If it's just a tune, Deng Xiu will definitely be bored. But when I heard that the morale was uplifted, I was interested.

To lead troops to fight a war, we must fight for strength, equipment, training, luck, supplies, and, of course, morale.

After all, reality is not a game, and you can use money, jewelry, and beauties to increase loyalty. Use skills such as "morale boosting" and "morale boosting" to boost morale.

The army was newly defeated and demoralized, and the pressure on the shoulders of coach Deng Jiugong can be imagined. Deng Xiu has always wanted to worry about Deng Jiu.

Morale-boosting Jiang Ziya has experience, Qiao Kun has followed Jiang Ziya for a long time and learned a little bit. If you want to boost morale, you must fundamentally do a good job in security work, and secondly, do a good job in propaganda work, so that the soldiers can insist that they are righteous, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and do not have to worry about their families if they die.

But Qiao Kun didn't plan to take this right path, he wanted to use some immediate methods, probably the kind of catchy ones that were made by combining the magical powers of Western religion with some brainwashing anti-war songs. "Tunnel warfare, hey tunnel warfare, millions of divine soldiers in ambush" and so on.

Qiao Kun chose "No Clothes", and the words said: "How can you say that there are no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son. ”

This is not a piece of music that he learned from Ji Chang before, but it is an article in the "Book of Songs" in his memory in his previous life, and as for the tune, he improvised and evolved it at will.

He doesn't need the whole piece to be too complicated, on the contrary, the simpler the better, so that everyone can sing it.

has been with Ziyun for too many years, and often plays together with the pipa and Yaoqin ensemble, Qiao Kun has already learned Ziyun's golden iron horse, the style of ambush on all sides. It's not hard to evolve military music at will.

Now this song "No Clothes" borrows from Ziyun's military array music, although the tune is simple, but the tone gradually rises, step by step, and the intensity gradually increases.

The tone is simple, but it is in line with the mentality of the soldiers.

Deng Xiu couldn't help but admire: "How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. This song has the momentum of the abyss, brother-in-law, teach me quickly! ”

"You don't need to teach, you just sing along." Qiao Kun urged the breeze and enveloped the whole camp. At the same time, he urged the "reluctant" Dao heart, affected the mood of the soldiers, and stimulated the hearts of the soldiers to hate the enemy.

It's a very simple piece. Soon the whole army was singing, and then a chorus was formed, and the sound vibrated endlessly, and the listening made people's blood boil and Kang was excited.

Qiao Kun obviously felt that his morale had improved, which was a very subtle feeling, that is, he felt that the mentality of the entire non-commissioned army was a little different. Along with their bodies, they seem to be more energetic.

Qiao Kun himself didn't expect the effect to be so good. There are indeed many mysteries in the magic powers of Western religion.

And the "love" in people's hearts is also very interesting, no wonder Haotian God can enter the Tao with "love".

However, to be able to do this step, there is also a foundation, first of all, Jiang Ziya's logistics support is done well, and they are Xiqi's soldiers, they have experienced a hundred battles, the military food is enough, and the soldiers are not hungry.

Moreover, the news that reinforcements are already on the way has been released, and the soldiers also have hope.

If there is no such foundation, Qiao Kun can act on the divine soul, and the effect will be halved.

Deng Xiu said "You guys hurry back to the camp" and left in a hurry, obviously still wanting to give Deng Chanyu and Qiao Kun some space to be alone. It's just that he was a lot more relaxed when he left.

Deng Chanyu didn't go back so early, because she insisted on putting back the armor, so as not to misunderstand those soldiers like Deng Xiu.

Bright Silver Kai is composed of several layers of many parts, whether it is taken off or put on, it is more troublesome, Qiao Kun naturally helped Deng Chanyu put on the skirt armor and chest guard.

was helping to put on shoulder pads, but he heard Deng Chanyu ask him in a low voice, "Are you the only one who doesn't worry about me?" Or are you worried about other people too? But in response to his words, I don't worry about you, so I came early.

Chanyu has become Daiyu? Qiao Kun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course I don't worry about you, and I don't worry about others." ”

Deng Chanyu snorted, seemingly very unhappy, and didn't want him to help wear shoulder pads, handguards and other parts.

After putting on the armor, the two naturally returned to the camp. At this time, the song was still being sung in the camp. The morale of the soldiers was much stronger.

Seeing the change in morale, Deng Chanyu's face also improved a lot, Deng Jiugong was a little happy, and said: "After breaking this dream pass and meeting with Marshal Jiang, I will show Marshal and King Wu to let you two get married." ”

Although Deng Chanyu was unhappy because of Qiao Kun's words just now, she was still shy when she heard that she was married, "The daughter is all up to her father." ”

Qiao Kun didn't have the slightest joy, this kind of thing of setting up a flag should not be done at any time. When he heard this, he had a feeling that Deng Jiugong's destiny was about to end.

He made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely protect Deng Jiugong and Deng Chanyu on the battlefield.
