Sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed with his eyes closed, Xiao Xia quietly felt the pulsation of all the true talismans in the sea of knowledge. Gradually, his perception extended from this pulse to the outside world, and then he could slowly feel that this heaven and earth, along with himself, were resonating with the pulsation of this true talisman.

It is not that all the true talismans shake the external objects of heaven and earth, but that all things in heaven and earth themselves are erecting in an extremely mysterious and unknowable way, and a speck of dust and a drop of water that seems to be completely static contains countless incomprehensible fluctuations, and when these fluctuations intersect and collide with each other in various forms to a greater and more intense Cheng dù, a variety of types of heaven and earth vitality are formed.

And the human body, flesh and blood, spirit, soul, and mind are countless times more profound and complex than the fluctuations of ordinary things, Xiao Xia can feel that even if he sits still like this, in fact, he resonates with the surrounding world all the time, swallowing vitality. And he himself is a subtle and indescribable, self-contained and circular world. This is not to say that there is anything special about him, but that everyone is like this, and everyone is an indispensable part of the cycle of heaven and earth. It's just that he's only seeing it now.

It turns out that this is the scene after the congenital. Xiao Xia understood. The essence of this heaven and earth, the essence of all things in this world is fluid, it is moving again and again, and it is alive. And man is a small life in this big life.

Xiao Xia recalled the situation that Zhang Yuhong gave him a temporary time when he explained the innate realm to him. Zhang Yuhong holds a teacup in one hand, and uses the water in the cup to imply the shape of the day after tomorrow, and the water in one hand changes to the world of clouds and raindrops, implying the innate law. At that time, he only had an indescribable, seemingly indescribable feeling in his heart, and it was only at this time that the scene in front of him pierced the layer of window paper. Only then did I understand the meaning of what Zhang Yuhong said at that time.

To perceive this most fundamental pulse with oneself, to resonate with this most fundamental pulse, and to drive the flow of heaven and earth with the flow of one's own life, this is the essence of the Tao above the Tao Nature. Zhang Yuhong didn't say it directly at that time, because it was useless to say it, and he couldn't understand it literally before he perceived and saw such a scene with his own eyes. Instead, it will prevent you from seeing the magic. Just like a child, his running movement can only be produced by the coordinated pulling of countless tiny muscles, and if the child wants to dig deeper into how to control those tiny muscles. It can only be the backfire of Yuanmu begging for fish, and even the original action will not be done.

The road to simplicity. It's as simple as a sentence. But that's what he sees when he stands to see the simplest vision. At what height can you stand to see what you can see, and you can see different things depending on where you stand, and you can't understand what you can't see.

Xiao Xia can finally see it. Although it was only seen with the help of this universal true talisman. Compared with other people who have come to this point on their own, they lack experience and deep understanding. I can only try my best to imitate others, like a toddler who can only toddler, but these can slowly accumulate as long as time passes, and one day I can run like flying.

With a long exhale, Xiao Xia was inevitably a little complacent. He never thought that he would be able to go to that point one day, and in the future, with a little finger, the innate spell will burst out, and he can try to change the color of the world and the world.

However, this good mood is just a faint sweep. Xiao Xia has no interest in becoming famous or anything, as the master said before. If you have this thing, you will have it, and you should do it or do it.

As for what to do now, it is to follow Xiyi Lao Dao and Xu Zhengzhou to go to the sea to Yingzhou.

Probably tomorrow morning, the boat will go to Luoshui City, the end of this Longjiang waterway. Luoshui City further east is to go to sea, this only for inland rivers to travel ships can not withstand the endless wind and waves in the East China Sea, everyone can only get off there, and then Xiyi Lao Dao and Xu Zhengzhou plan to change ships to go to Yingzhou, it is said that this is the itinerary they set before.

Yingzhou is a large island in the East China Sea, nominally a state of Daqian, but that is actually a saying inherited from the previous dynasty. Yingzhou has become a country since ancient times, and the customs and customs are different from the mainland of China, but it has been moistened by Shenzhou in terms of humanities and customs, and it can be regarded as a lineage. Although Yingzhou was nominally controlled by the Great Cadres after the founding of the Great Qian, in fact the Great Qian Imperial Court was far from having the unparalleled strength and cohesion of the previous dynasty, let alone the energy and ability to dispatch officials to control it.

At this time, it is a good choice to follow the master and Xu Zhengzhou to Yingzhou to avoid the limelight. After all, this universal true talisman brought Xiao Xia not only opportunities, but also great troubles. Zhang Tianshi must have been obsessed with this thing, and the previous search of the shadow guard seemed to be aimed at this thing, but the attitude of the Pure Land Zen Monastery is difficult to understand, but the death of the old monk Huiguang can be said to be related to this thing, and it is unlikely that he wants to seek refuge. Fortunately, now these families are temporarily taking care of themselves, especially in terms of shadow guards, even Nangong Wuji has been abolished in martial arts, and the elite masters in Jingzhou are also dead and injured, otherwise even if Xu Zhengzhou goes all the way, it is difficult to say that he can come here smoothly all the way.

According to what Xu Zhengzhou and Xiyi Lao Dao said, this Shenzhou Continent is about to undergo a turbulent and earth-shaking change, even if it is to get rid of the factor of this universal true rune, it is not a good idea to continue to stay. In addition to the influence of the Five Elements Sect's Shenshui Palace and Buddhism Tantra, there is almost no trace of the Daomen, including the Heavenly Master Sect, and even the rebellion of the Demon Sect did not affect Yingzhou, so it should indeed be able to live a lot in peace compared to the turbulent Shenzhou Continent.

is about to get out of this huge storm whirlpool, Xiao Xia seems to be slightly lost in addition to a little peace in his heart. This year has certainly been full of ups and downs and thrills, but it has indeed seen countless ordinary and rare scenes, and he has gained a lot.

Lying on the bed and thinking about it, while listening to the faint sound of waves outside the cabin, Xiao Xia was about to fall asleep, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling hit her heart. He opened his eyes and looked at the hatch.

He couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, but he felt someone come silently. Was standing outside the hatch looking at him.

"Miss Mingyue?" Xiao Xia sat up. "Come in. ”

The door opened, and through the faint moonlight coming from the window, you could see that it was the bright moon dressed in white.

Mingyue walked in, a pair of white feet walking on the floor without making the slightest sound, she walked straight to Xiao Xia's side and sat down, but she didn't speak.

Xiao Xia didn't speak either. He had a lot of things he wanted to say to Mingyue, but he didn't know how to speak. For a moment, the two sat quietly side by side at the head of the bed. I just listened to the sound of running water outside the window.

Since Xiao Xia woke up, Mingyue has not spoken to him, but has been following them quietly. Sometimes he stared at him from afar, and sometimes he looked at him in the distance alone. Natsu wanted to ask, but he couldn't find a chance, and he didn't know what to ask. He was still a little afraid that he would find out once he opened his mouth. This is not the bright moon it used to be.

"Daoist Xia, where are we going?" I don't know how long it was, Mingyue suddenly asked. Fortunately, it is still the same crisp and pleasant voice and childlike tone as before.

"I'll be in Luoshui City tomorrow. After changing ships in Luoshui City, we went to Yingzhou. ”

"Luoshui City is the place where you just met me, Daoist Xia?" Mingyue thought for a moment and turned her head to look at Xiao Xia.

"Yes. Xiao Xia nodded, smiling at Mingyue's eyes that were still as clear as before.

"I want to go see Mr. Kuroki, you go with me. Okay?"

"Absolutely. Natsu nodded. That black wood forest was not far from Luoshui City, that is, a day's journey. Boats to Yingzhou are not available all the time. Because the people of the Shenshui Palace had to be invited to accompany the ship to deal with the whirlpool of wind and waves, most of the sea ships gathered in a team and set off together, once a month or once a half-month. So they'll probably be waiting in Luoshui City for a while. This shouldn't be a problem.

Mingyue looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "Thank you, Daoist Xia." ”

Xiao Xia was stunned. This is not like what Mingyue would say.

"You can sleep with me. I was scared alone and couldn't sleep. Mingyue said again.

"Okay. This is a bit like what Mingyue would say, but Xiao Xia can't understand why she is afraid, and what she is afraid of.

Lying down next to Mingyue and his clothes like this, Xiao Xia thought about it, but still didn't ask her anything, but just when he just closed his eyes, there was a warm and moist touch on his lips, and a breath like an orchid musk also came to his nose.

Xiao Xia opened her eyes, and through the moonlight outside the window, she saw Mingyue's face in front of her, and as she immediately retreated a little, the little warmth on her lips also disappeared.

Xiao Xia froze. Mingyue didn't seem to have done anything, there was no trace of anything strange on her little face, she still looked calm, and looked at Xiao Xia seriously, as if she was looking at an extremely strange and incomparably familiar thing.

Under the moonlight, such a close range of a beautiful little face like a fairy, the body temperature and touch that could be faintly felt, the faint fragrance from the end of the nose, and the warm feeling between the lips, Xiao Xia felt that the place sealed with the Bliss Rebirth Method in the depths of his mind seemed to have an erection and cracking sound.

When he woke up from his trance, Mingyue had already closed his eyes and curled up in his arms and fell asleep.

Xiao Xia sighed secretly, stepped back slightly, widened the distance between him and Mingyue, and closed his eyes. As early as when he was in Yongzhou, he had exercised so much that he could fall asleep quickly no matter what the situation was, but today he had insomnia, and he barely fell asleep until it was hazy.

###

Xiao Xia was woken up by the noise coming from the deck of the ship, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the bright moon was long gone, and only a wisp of fragrance remained.

Judging by the sun outside, it was probably close to noon, and the ship seemed to have stopped. Xiao Xia got out of the hatch and walked up to the deck, and saw that it was indeed the dock of Luoshui City, surrounded by all kinds of cargo ships, and there was a noisy and busy scene up and down the sailors and people, and there were also several sailors and people on this ship who were moving the goods out of the cargo hold. On the bow of the boat, Xiyi Lao Dao was talking loudly with the two of them, one of them was shirtless and short, covered with rust as if he had been begging for a living at sea all the year round, and the other was full of kind face and hands in his sleeves, like a businessman. Xu Zhengzhou stood aside and watched Xiyi Lao Dao and pointed at the two of them.

"Huh, boy. Have you finally woken up, how was last night?" Seeing Xiao Xia coming over, Xiyi said to him with a very strange expression and voice. "Master, I watched the little girl come out of your room. ”

"It's nothing, it's just sleeping. "Xiao Xia is inevitably a little weak-hearted. The others are okay, this is the master after all.

"It's nothing, it's just sleeping. Xiyi Lao Dao repeated it in a strange way. "Of course, it's just sleeping, otherwise what else can you do, can you still play the piano and music, play chess and drink tea?"

"It's really nothing. Natsu scratched her head. "I don't believe you ask Old Man Xu, can he notice any noise. The ship is that big. Is there anything to hide from him?"

"Hmph, don't push it on others. Lao Xu has a lot of bad problems, but he definitely didn't listen to the corner of the wall. ”

Of course, Xiao Xia knows that there is no point in arguing with her master. I looked left and right, but I didn't see Mingyue on the deck, so I asked, "Where is Mingyue girl?"

"No, gone. Will never come back. Die. Xiyi Lao Dao spread his hands.

Xiao Xia scratched his head again, scratched his scalp and sneered, and wanted to say something more, but a person walked out of the cabin on the other side, walked over to Xiao Xia, and said, "Daoist Xia, I'm here." ”

Xiao Xia turned her head to look over, but she was stunned. This is, of course, the bright moon. It's just that Mingyue is not the usual white-clothed and barefoot-like appearance, she is dressed in half-worn coarse cloth clothes. He wore a flower scarf around his head, a pair of half-worn cloth shoes that did not fit well, and his face was as gray as if he had smoked fireworks.

"What are you?"

"Didn't you teach me that before, that it's good to dress up like everyone else when there are a lot of people? This is the clothes of the cook-in-law on the ship, and I took your money to buy them from her. Mingyue smiled slightly, although the layer of soot was still difficult to hide, it was not so eye-catching compared to her usual appearance of not eating fireworks in the world.

"Ah, yes. Xiao Xia nodded with a strange face. On the way back from Tianshan last year, I dressed up for Mingyue in disguise, and I also told her this, and now looking at the soot on her face, it seems that she really has a little bit of the appearance that she made for her at that time.

"Hey, this kid, the master has long seen that you will suffer a big loss on a woman sooner or later. Xiyi sighed.

However, turning his head to look at Mingyue, the smile on Xiyi's old man's face was very kind, and he reached out and patted Mingyue's head: "But it's not your fault little girl, it's also a hard-working child, and it's hard for you to be with this unlucky boy." ”

Mingyue smiled and lowered her head and let Xiyi Lao Dao pat her head wrapped in a flower cloth towel, like a child listening to the encouragement of her elders

"Okay, master, Lao Xu and I just talked to the shipowner. Then we can turn to their ship, and we can go out to sea in the evening. Will you two go pack up and follow us?"

"Why, are you leaving today? Doesn't this sea ship usually leave only once a month?"

Xiyi Lao Dao stroked his beard with his hand and said proudly: "Don't look at who came up with the idea, master, I have already calculated the time, and I can just reach the time when the ship here departs, how about it, amazing." ”

"But" Xiao Xia was embarrassed. Although it is not far from here to the Black Wood Forest, it is not too close, and it will be difficult to rush back today. He turned his head to look at the two people next to him and asked, "Can you leave again tomorrow?"

"How can that be? That's not a matter of money, don't embarrass us, Childe. The merchant-looking man shook his head and smiled bitterly. "If it's just us, or if it's the Longjiang waterway, that's fine. But this time, there were about 20 sea boats, and everyone had agreed to leave this evening. The lady of the Shenshui Palace who accompanied the boat also said that she would just be able to go along a sea current when she went to sea this evening, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble. ”

"That's it," Xiao Xia couldn't help it. The wind and waves in the East China Sea are impermanent, and this overseas voyage is not a small risk, and it is extremely dependent on the water path method of the Shenshui Palace to sense the ocean currents to avoid the whirlpool storm, and the gathering of a fleet is also for this purpose, since the people of the Shenshui Palace who accompany the ship say so, then there is definitely no room for turnaround.

Mingyue looked at Xiao Xia's embarrassed expression and said, "Daoist Xia, you can go with the master and them first." Didn't you say that they would go again every once in a while? ”

Xiao Xia looked at her but shook her head, and turned to Xiyi Lao Dao and said, "Then the master and Old Man Xu will take the first step, Miss Mingyue and I still have something to do, and we will come to Yingzhou to find you when the fleet departs." ”

"You're really not going?" said Xiyi, who puffed his eyes, and then was relieved. "Also, it's too boring to be in a boat with us two bad old men, and it's so interesting to be with a little girl. But aren't you afraid that those Heavenly Masters and some guards' dogs will come to you for trouble?"

Xiao Xia smiled: "It's not that they just came here today, and aren't they taking care of themselves? It's just that staying in Luoshui City for more than ten or twenty days has never been a big deal." ”

"Don't scare the two of them. Xu Zhengzhou, who had not spoken on the side, said to Xiyi Lao Dao, and then turned to look at Xiao Xia. "Heavenly Master Sect and Shadow Guard really don't have to worry, Zhang Yuanling and Nangong Wuji's own problems are enough for them to toss for a while, not to mention that the time on Xidi's side is about the same, they probably don't have too much heart to come to you. But this land of Shenzhou is about to rise, after all, it is a place of right and wrong, and Qingzhou is located on the edge and will be somewhat affected. Be careful. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for reminding me. Xiao Xia glanced at the merchant and the sailor-looking person next to him, both of them looked at Xu Zhengzhou with inexplicable expressions, and the merchant also stretched out his fingers and gouged out his ears, obviously not hearing what Xu Zhengzhou was saying at all. Old man Xu has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he will not speak in front of outsiders like Xiyi Lao Dao.

"Hey, that's it, it's cheap, you kid. As if he suddenly remembered, Xiyi Lao Dao reached into his arms and touched it for a long time, and found something and handed it to Xiao Xia. "This is a talisman that the master and I got by chance many years ago, and the magic of warding off evil spirits and self-defense is infinitely magical, so I will lend it to you boy. But don't lose it, you can't afford it!"

Xiao Xia took it and looked at it in front of him, but it was a piece of armor strung with fine hemp rope, as if it had been peeled off from a big fish or some kind of scaly animal, and he felt that there was no strange breath at all. However, Xiao Xia could only honestly tie this treasure around his neck and arch his hand to Xiyi Lao Dao: "Thank you, master." ”

"Alright, get out, get out. Xiyi Lao Dao waved his hand a little excitedly.

Seeing the figures of Xiao Xia and Mingyue disappear in the busy sea of people on the dock, Xu Zhengzhou suddenly turned his head and asked Xiyi Laodao: "Are you really so relieved? It's okay for us to accompany them and wait here, right?"

"How can it be okay? The money for the boat has been given, can you go to find those who ran the boat and want to come back? Aren't you afraid of losing your name as a member of the Cang Sect?" "That kid is not a child who has just learned to walk, do you want me to worry about everything? (To be continued......)
