Can you spot my semi-invisible state? Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, knowing that he should have been aware of the traces of the valley master who was equivalent to the network administrator when he simulated the "Immortal Changchun Gong" to access the valley vitality network.

Judging from the harmonious life of the inhabitants of the valley and the invitation of these two young girls, the valley lord here should be a person with a gentle personality and no malice.

So, she lifted the concealment around her, revealed herself, and followed the two of them towards the open door of a stone house by the pool.

After entering the door, Zhao Qing's eyes lit up, only to see that the furniture decoration inside the stone house was placed in a staggered manner, all made of pine and cypress, the handiwork was excellent, giving people a durable and comfortable feeling, and there were a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which were elegant and refined, and full of fun.

Feeling the beauty of the exquisite elegance and natural integration in the house, her heart moved slightly, and she noticed that the style of the Naxi people's residence here was very different from that outside, but with the charm of the elegant people in the Central Plains, she couldn't help but think about it.

After passing through the two compartments inward, Zhao Qing saw that there was a protruding rock on the ground, which was directly connected to the mountain under the stone house, and the five words "Immortal Changchun Valley" were engraved on the front.

On the back of the rock, there is a hollow hole with a spring flowing out, and there is a stone niche, which is hollow, most likely where the "sacred book" was placed in the valley in the past.

Skirting the rocks, there were several steps up the ladder, and at the end of the road a quaint wooden door, where two maidens stood guard and motioned for her to push it open.

Zhao Qing walked in calmly, the door opened without wind, and saw the ageless Changchun Valley valley master who was lying in front of a table in the room, holding a brush in his hand, and writing on paper.

It was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old in a yellow light shirt, with a delicate complexion, crystal white, clear and bright eyes, a dimple at the corner of her mouth, and a surging smile.

As if sensing Zhao Qing's arrival, she gently dropped the last few strokes, reached out and took a stamp next to her and stamped it on the paper, soaked the brush in clean water first, rested on the edge of the inkstone, raised her head slightly, and looked at the comer.

Seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Zhao Qing was slightly surprised in his heart, this valley lord looks almost exactly the same as Wang Yuyan, it shouldn't be Li Qiushui, that is Li Qiushui's little sister, Li Qingning?

"Zhuangzi Zhile" cloud: "The sky is clear with nothingness, and the earth is peaceful with nothingness, so the two nothings are combined, and all things are born." ”

"Lao Tzu" Yiyun: "In the past, one got one: the sky got one to be clear, the earth got one to be peaceful, the gods got one to be spiritual, the valley got one to be profitable, all things got one to live, and the Hou Wang got one to think that the world was right, and it was also." ”

Looking at her posture and movements, this Li Qingning's every move is all with a pure and quiet rhyme, as if caressing everyone's heart, the realm is so high and profound, it is indeed worthy of her name.

It seems that the other party did not die of old age because he had not practiced martial arts, as he had previously guessed, but got the guidance of Xiaoyaozi and came to this immortal Changchun Valley early, not only staying young for a long time, but also becoming the respected valley master here.

Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and looked at a poem that had just been written on the table, only to see that it was a poem called "Tongbai Chongdao Temple", the poem said:

The heart of the wonderful road is sought by the red water, and the gap is full of water. Chaozhen Pure Realm Qiongtai Moon, Di Xiang Xian Yu Qiu. Zhiru recommends the plate of fragrant dew, and the tea is cooked and the green clouds float. Labor can read the glory beam, and the food is high occidental upstream.

The handwriting is beautiful and neat, but also elegant and natural, with a kind of quiet and inactive rhyme, revealing Li Qingning's superb attainments in calligraphy.

Tongbai Chongdao Temple? Zhao Qing knew that this should be the place of the ancestral court of the southern sect of Taoism, located in Tiantai Mountain, originally established by Sun Quan to send Ge Xuan, during the Jingyun period of Tang Ruizong, it was Sima Chengzhen Zhiguan, and there was the name of Tongbai Temple, and in the Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu years, it was renamed Tongbai Chongdao Temple.

The current Tongbai Chongdao Temple, the ancestor of the Quanzhen Dao Southern Sect, Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan should have only passed away for a few years, but it is already quite prosperous, no less than the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, part of Xiaoyaozi's inheritance comes from Sima Chengzhen, maybe it is from this palace view?

When Zhao Qing was thinking in his heart, Li Qingning supported his clever chin with both hands and said with a smile: "This poem was written by my father when he watched the quiet room where his grandfather lived as a monk and visited the beautiful scenery on the rooftop. The night moon of Qiongtai and the clear autumn of Yuyu are nothing more than a dream of Huangliang, which is fleeting. ”

"Zhuang Ziyun: 'Between the world and the earth, if the white horse is too much, it will be sudden.'" I thought so, so I only learned the women's eight elegances of 'qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, camellia' from the master, and never practiced Taoist martial arts. ”

Speaking of this, she took the initiative to get up, took a pot of tea not far away, lit the charcoal stove, and prepared to make a fire to make tea and entertain guests.

Looking at Li Qingning's skillful techniques and elegant movements, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, savoring the words of the other party just now, and knew that Tongbai Chongdao Temple was the place where the sweeping monk once became a monk.

At the same time, she sensed the breath on Li Qingning's body, guessing the other party's realm cultivation after being nourished in the Immortal Changchun Valley, and her purpose.

After a while, after the water boiled, Li Qingning poured it several times, poured out two bowls of tea, and handed one of them to Zhao Qing, and the tea was fragrant.

After silently sipping a few sips of tea, Li Qingning suddenly spoke: "The situation of the Immortal Changchun Valley is in line with the gist of the Taoist 'rule by doing nothing' and 'small country and widowed people', coupled with the difference between yin and yang and geomagnetic fields in the valley, this strange spiritual network realm has just appeared. ”

"Lao Tzu has a saying: 'Willing to eat, beautiful clothes, peaceful living, happy customs.' Neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead. ’”

"In such a worldly resort and paradise on earth, everyone's heart has become peaceful and tranquil, forgetting all disputes, and reaching the ultimate state of 'the sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, and all things are born smoothly'."

"Back then, the master entered this place by chance, felt the wonder of heaven and earth, got a volume of the divine book left by Lu Zu, and left away. More than 200 years have passed quietly, but I don't know what he is doing now. ”

Knowing that the Immortal Changchun Valley was isolated from the world and there was no news from the outside world, Zhao Qing took the initiative to inform her of the major events that had happened in the outside world over the years, including the sweeping monk who entered the Buddha from the Tao, lived in seclusion in the Shaolin Temple, and Xiaoyaozi was about to ascend to the Tao in the near future.

Hearing that Zhao Qing had competed with the sweeping monk and Xiaoyaozi, Li Qingning's eyes showed a curious light, smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Zhao, since you want to comprehend the Dao rhyme in the Immortal Changchun Valley, you might as well fight with me and experience the mystery for yourself." ”

"Okay." Zhao Qing nodded and agreed.

Li Qingning has only been in the valley for sixty or seventy years, he is still young in the immortal Changchun Valley, and he has never specialized in martial arts, so he can become the valley master here, which should be because he has managed to improve the lives of the people in the valley and comprehended the true mystery of the valley.

Although it also relies on the Yuan Qi network to run the "Immortal Changchun Gong" on its own, there are differences in qualifications between people after all, and there is a distinction between the upper and lower in terms of mental nature and innate meridians.

In Zhao Qing's induction, the skill contained in the other party's body was far above every Naxi person he had encountered before, comparable to the level of "heaven and man sympathy".

Coupled with Li Qingningqing's natural qualifications out of blue, and her state of mind that is almost in line with the Dao, as long as she is in this valley, she can be said to be a great grandmaster-level figure in the world, and even more amazing in terms of combat power.

Seeing that Zhao Qingying had decided to discuss the matter, Li Qingning got up unhurriedly, cleaned the two tea bowls, and tidied up the table for a while.

Then, she opened a downward passage in the house, walked to an empty stone cave under the stone house, put away the chess pieces placed on a stone table in the cave, turned around, and said, "Miss Zhao, will you strike first?" ”

In Zhao Qing's induction, the huge aura within a radius of more than ten miles in the Immortal Changchun Valley slowly contracted inward, and the aura of heaven and earth rushed towards this underground stone cave, turning into thousands of fine threads of vitality that converged within a few feet of Li Qingning's body.

They flowed and weaved in a mysterious trajectory, emitting a surging shimmer of light, as if a sacred veil had been draped over her.

In an instant, this piece of heaven and earth seemed to come to life, with its own life, or rather, it became an extension of Li Qingning's body in the outside world, with its own heartbeat and breathing, which was extremely strange.

There are thousands of people in the Immortal Changchun Valley, with an average age of more than 100 years old, who have drunk Changchun spring water since childhood, accumulated internal strength, and added all together, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of years of majestic skill, and the total amount has reached an appalling level.

Even if Li Qingning can only attract one percent of the power, the power is not something that any master in the world can resist.

Zhao Qing understood this truth, put the induction of his mind to the maximum, and after the other party finished building the body protection veil, he finally had a deep understanding of the overall structure of the immortal Changchun Valley Yuan Qi network.

I saw that the rainbow light sword on her waist suddenly came out of its sheath, differentiating into thousands of complex sword lights, like a piece of cold moonlight falling down, to melt into the depths of every viewer's heart.

Each sword light is aimed at one of the silk threads that transmits power, and it is to be cut and cut off, and the strength is mastered to the point of subtlety, almost no leakage, and it will never cause damage to the environment and furnishings of the stone cave.

Sensing Zhao Qing's extremely targeted offensive, Li Qingning, who had no experience in fighting, didn't know how to crack it, but he didn't show any panic, but smiled at her, not dodging or dodging, and pointed out.

In an instant, Zhao Qing suddenly found that the entire stone cave and the entire Immortal Changchun Valley had completely disappeared, and only she and Li Qingning were left in heaven and earth, and the latter was pointing at her, as if it was far away, but it seemed to be close at hand.

Suddenly, she seemed to be touched by some indescribable emotion in her heart, like a wanderer returning to her hometown, an immortal seeker suddenly entering the fairy realm, feeling a sense of alienation around her, and the space was no longer real, as if it had turned into a dream world.

Because Zhao Qing slashed at the sword light of the Yuan Qi Silk Thread, he originally relied on spiritual induction to confirm the specific position, and locked the most vulnerable point where the silk thread was constantly changing and moving, and at this moment, he lost his target, and suddenly dispersed, and he was about to be blocked by the other party's body protection veil.

At the same time, in this dream-like world, thousands of images of Li Qingning suddenly appeared, with different expressions, dresses, and movements, thousands of people and thousands of faces, like a dream, and it was elusive.

Each of them, Li Qingning, simultaneously pointed out a finger force, and the attack was overwhelming, almost irresistible.

Small countries and widows, "although there are armor soldiers, there is nothing to show", but in order to prevent possible invasion from the outside world, after all, some armor soldiers must be prepared.

This move, "Thousand Illusions, Thousand Faces, and Thousand Tribulations", is the method she has created to protect herself from the enemy by comprehending the changes in people's hearts and heaven and earth for decades, and with the bonus of the Yuan Qi network, it is incredibly powerful.

However, in the face of such an unimaginable dangerous situation, Zhao Qing, like Li Qingning, did not dodge or dodge, nor did he pull out the Ziwei soft sword containing strange energy to defend, but just smiled.

In the next moment, thousands of Li Qingning's phantom and dream-like worlds suddenly dissipated, and the overwhelming Dao Dao Finger Force invaded within five feet of her body, revealing a thin veil woven by the silk threads of Yuan Qi, easily blocking it out.

It turned out that witnessing the other party's personal audition, coupled with the previous induction experience of simulating the "Immortal Changchun Gong", Zhao Qing took the initiative to fall into the illusion created by the other party in this moment, and from the inside out, he comprehended the method of mobilizing the vitality network of the Immortal Changchun Valley like Li Qingning.

With a more advanced realm of cultivation, she instantly grabbed most of the authority that originally belonged to Li Qingning, and she was mainly anti-guest, and occupied the absolute upper hand in terms of strength, moves, and experience, and it can be said that she won the game in advance.

The movements of the two came to an abrupt halt, apparently understanding the current situation.

Looking at Li Qingning, who looked a little stunned, Zhao Qing smiled slightly, and expressed his understanding of the mysteries of the Immortal Changchun Valley:

"Zhuangzi said: 'The unformed is divided, and the things are obtained to live, which is called virtue. Yin and yang and qi, the quality of my body, the way of the earth. 'It is the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth with the body, and the mystery lies not only in the heart, but also in virtue. ”

"The use of virtue is the use of the Tao, the body of the virtue of the Tao, all life is born, there is no way to do it, and there is nothing to do to be virtuous. If you want to conceive the way of heaven and earth, you must work the aspect of 'virtue', which is also the truth expounded in the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu. ”

In her perception, "virtue" as the external manifestation of "Tao" is also a supreme principle that every practitioner should study and must not be ignored. Only by "carrying the Tao with virtue and respecting virtue with the Tao" can we achieve the realm of "the sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, and all things are born smoothly".

And it is precisely because of Li Qingning's personal display that he realized the "virtue" of the "small country and widows" and "inaction" of the immortal Changchun Valley, that Zhao Qing was able to manipulate part of the power of the Yuan Qi network in the valley.

I just don't know, where is my own "Tao" and "Virtue"? And how do you really understand it? She was secretly thinking in her heart, gradually perfecting her thoughts and direction of seeking virtue and cultivating the Tao.

Hearing Zhao Qing's words, Li Qingning also had an understanding, knowing that the other party had thoroughly comprehended his decades of cultivation achievements in such a short period of time, he couldn't help but be amazed, and realized that external forces could not be relied on.

……

More than ten days later, near a valley outside Xiangyang City, Zhao Qing was thinking about integrating the previous harvest in the Immortal Changchun Valley into the way of "Vientiane Haoxugong", while searching for the location of Dugu's retreat.

In the past few days, she has not found a Bodhisattva snake with golden light on its body and a fleshy horn on its head nearby, and it is quite difficult to find Dugu to seek defeat.

That night, Zhao Qing climbed to the top of a hill on the side, looked around, and suddenly heard a withering sound from far away, the voice was slightly hoarse, but it was desolate and very imposing.

Is it the cry of the withering gods? Her mind fluttered slightly, and she immediately swept in the direction where the voice came from.
