Chapter 55: It's Harder Than You Think
said that it was an hour, but in fact it was only less than two quarters of an hour, Su Jingrong felt something, and with a dip in his palm, he had already held three strange objects in his palm.
These three objects do not see the trajectory of "flight", as if they were probed from the void; But Xu Zhenyun's mind moved slightly, as if he sensed the breath of the Shenwu Balance in an instant.
After Su Jingrong's palm was spread, he found that it was three colorful "five stars", which looked soft and full, but it looked like a sponge material; At the same time, outside the entity, there was a special awe-inspiring anger, as if a "strange force" emanated from it, causing Su Jingrong's hair to flutter gently.
Mu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "In the Tianyuan Temple, when the spirits meet, they can't make any waves. Of these three opportunities to watch the battle, one of us will take the lead, that is. Otherwise, let's go to the first seat of Qingyun. ”
"The master-apprentice position, a group of four people, is the best."
Xiang Tianwen's eyes immediately brightened.
Mu Xuan's meaning is clearly that in addition to Mu Qingyun, the other two "places" are reserved for Mu Xueqing, taking it as an opportunity to broaden his knowledge, which is of course very much in line with the meaning of asking the sky.
Sure enough, Mu Qingyun nodded and said, "I'll go with Xue Qing and Tianwen." ”
Su Jingrong nodded slightly, and with a palm of his hand, the three "five stars" drifted towards Mu Qingyun, Xiang Tianwen, and Mu Xueqing respectively. After each was caught in the palm of his hand, he naturally disappeared.
Mu Xueqing's eyebrows moved slightly, as if she was a little surprised.
A ripple rippled in her heart just now; There seems to be a clear thought: if he is one of the three people selected by the Great Jin side, then the "five stars" will penetrate the body; If not, he is just a person who changes hands, appreciate the texture of the "five-star symbol", then this thing will remain in the palm.
The point is that this list was established, and there was no clear ceremony to confirm it; It was a casual decision between Mu Xuan and Mu Qingyun in a few words.
It can be seen that its spirit is very supernatural.
Mu Zijin said with a smile: "It seems that this feat of 'Eight Grades on the List' will need to wait for another three days to be seen." Good food is not afraid of being late, so wait a little longer. ”
Huan Xiu, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Entering the Tianyuan Temple is a rare opportunity. This is not just about 'watching the battle', everything you see and hear is a harvest. ”
This is a reminder to ask the heavens.
Ask the sky for a moment; He nodded sharply.
When the matter was agreed, the rest of the people dispersed; In the fighting room, only Mu Qingyun, Su Jingrong and Xu Zhenyun were left.
Su Jingrong said: "Since you have reached the point of self-refining, then you will take three days off, right?" Three days later, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will leave a strong mark in the history of Xinyuan Continent. ”
Xu Zhenyun smiled and said, "It turns out that Aunt Su doesn't have confidence in me either. ”
Su Jingrong shook his head slightly and said, "In terms of the general trend, of course Aunt Su has confidence in you. But whether the 'Eight Grades on the List' can succeed is just a small step in your path, and it has nothing to do with success or failure itself. It is possible that the steps are not as big as expected. ”
Xu Zhenyun's expression became serious, and he said thoughtfully: "Aunt Su, what is your basis?" ”
There seemed to be a slight flicker in Su Jingrong's eyes, and he paused slightly, and said, "Because...... The closer you get to the realization of your 'Eight Pins List', the more you find that the impact and promotion it has caused are far greater than expected. ”
"Whether the world will move and change so quickly, in fact, I am not sure."
"Especially my own Taoism, it can be said that people know how to drink water and know how warm and cold they are. Raising the basic cultivation to a first grade from the Seventh Extreme Heaven is already a great gain. ”
"Aunt Su is different from Mu Zijin in the Yipin realm; In fact, there is no super-quality water in the heart, as long as the opportunity promotes perfection and breaks the realm, it will be able to succeed in the mental induction; But the influence of your 'Eight Rank Ascending People List' is strong enough to push me to complete the next breakthrough. ”
"So, there's a contradiction in that."
Xu Zhenyun's heart sank.
Until now, Xu Zhenyun was immersed in a very optimistic mood; Even if Mu Qingyun mentioned "it's a big deal" once, he didn't take it to heart, he always felt that Bapin was on the list, and I was on the list!
This matter is like water falling down, unshakable!
But Su Jingrong's reason was very powerful, and it immediately made Xu Zhenyun's heart feel cold, as if he was bathed in a cold mountain spring, and he immediately sobered up a little!
Su Jingrong is the second immortal monument of Taoism; Regardless of the scale, the depth achieved by deduction alone is almost the first in the world.
And any cultivator with outstanding qualifications will inevitably have an incomparably effective sense of the blessings and misfortunes of his own promotion.
Now Su Jingrong said-
He didn't have the feeling of breaking through the realm and super-tasting it as a matter of course.
It's just that this matter is not because the impetus of the "Eight Pins on the List" is not enough; On the contrary, the impact of the event is far-reaching, beyond expectations.
Doesn't this mean that you have "failed in your challenge"?
Su Jingrong glanced at Xu Zhenyun deeply, his pupils were shiny and faint, as if there was a little different taste from before; Said slowly: "Then ...... Take a three-day break, right? ”
Xu Zhenyun sighed for a few breaths, suddenly smiled, and said: "Every time there is a big event, there is calm, this is a matter of course. But the sense of ritual is too strong, and it is inevitable to wear chisels. As usual, a normal routine is not a way to cope. ”
Mu Qingyun nodded and said, "Not bad." Among them, there is a distinction between virtual and real, whether it is prudent to be cautious, or to indulge in it; It is also good to respond to all changes with the same; It's all a reasonable attitude. The key is to have the mindset to face the many challenges that have come before; Only in this way can we find that ray of good luck. ”
What are the challenges ahead?
Xu Zhenyun traced his mind back to the source, and immediately thought of his state of mind when he learned that the challenge of the Star Ruins Secret Realm was the "Liuhe Linglong Pagoda".
The thought floated a little, Xu Zhenyun suddenly smiled and said, "I'll go home and take a look, and then make a decision." If your heart fits at home, you may not come tomorrow. ”
……
Today, Xu Zhenyun's "homecoming" was earlier than usual, and after entering the bedroom, he could immediately feel the light outside, which was very bright.
Pushing open the door, Ran Chuchu in the small courtyard was extremely sensitive, and immediately turned his head and said with a smile: "I came back very early today." ”
Xu Zhenyun was also stunned, and said with a smile: "Why is you alone in the yard?" ”
saw that in the small courtyard, Ran Chuchu moved a small bench and placed it on the edge of the corridor; Sitting down from outside the aisle is equivalent to doubling the height of the small bench.
The two silver needles in his hand jumped rapidly, light and smooth.
Ran Chuchu volunteered to prepare needlework for future children, and these guys hardly left their hands; But she used to help take care of the two children in the back garden; or talk to the three aunts and four aunts who are idle at home; Or go to Shiweitian to find her sister Xu Qingshuang.
Anyway, Xu Qingshuang greets guests in the lobby, and he only has to do it three times a day; In the extra time, I can talk to Ran Chuchu in the small room in the back.
Xu Zhenyun casually walked to the edge of the corridor and sat down, and said abruptly: "To be honest, you and your sister are very attentive to what you have prepared. This is the only way to treat husband and children as a necessary way in the journey of life, coming and going in a hurry? ”
"I'm not ready yet."
It's the truth.
The words "not ready" are, of course, aimed at "having children".
On the one hand, his practice, after all, is in a state of rapid change; The entire world of Xinyuan is also changing. Second, Xu Zhenyun has just turned eighteen years old after all.
Being a father at this age, in Xu Zhenyun's concept, always feels a little hasty.
Ran Chuchu sneered, did not answer, and still focused on his needlework.
Xu Zhenyun thought about it for a while, and always felt that in cultivation, it was necessary to pay attention to the cultivation of the mind; The same is true of "secular cultivation"; Seems to be a little sluggish in this regard?
If you really feel that it is "too early", then you can't blindly accommodate and compromise, but you should make it clear to Ran Chuchu. Speaking of "giving birth to a noble son early" is a "popular opinion", with Ran Chuchu's heart, he may not like to have a baby soon, right?
Xu Zhenyun said directly: "If I am about the same age as my sister and child, is it a little inappropriate?" Or would we be two years late? ”
Ran Chuchu turned his head extremely smartly, pouted, "What's the matter?" Xu Jingyu and Tang Huaiting are still young, not about the same age. ”
Xu Zhenyun was stunned for a moment and said, "With your heart, if you really like children, then I didn't say it." ”
Ran Chuchu smiled slightly, and suddenly his expression turned gentle, and said, "Don't worry." If we have a child, it will be born at the right time. ”
Ran Chuchu seems to have the ability to use two minds, and while speaking, his fingertips are flexible, and the needle and thread do not fall at all.
Xu Zhenyun lowered his head casually, looked at Ran Chuchu's flexible hands, thoughtful.
After watching casually for a while, Xu Zhenyun couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the thing woven in Ran Chuchu's hands was a small "cylinder" at the beginning; Xu Zhenyun secretly wondered if the size was too small.
But it immediately "dawned on me" that this should be woven from the sleeves.
After looking at it for a while, Xu Zhenyun said "sure enough", because the direction of Ran Chuchu's stitches changed, and he really began to "turn".
But looking at the movements of Ran Chuchu's ten fingers like flying, looking at the rapidly forming body after the needle and thread bending, it seems that it has not become a wider "torso" part, but has become narrower and narrower!
I don't know how long it has been, when the things woven by Ran Chuchu have been completely formed, Xu Zhenyun found out that it was actually a sock!
And it's socks worn by adults.
Because Ran Chuchu has been preparing the clothes for the children for many days in a row; So Xu Zhenyun fell into a mindset and didn't climb out for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Ran Chuchu knotted the thread, announced "finished", and took out one on the right side of her body, made a pair, and handed it to Xu Zhenyun, and said, "Do you like it?" ”
Xu Zhenyun stretched out his hand to take it.
In fact, this "sock" is colorful and green, with five or six colors blending together, which does not conform to Xu Zhenyun's aesthetics at a glance, and it is difficult to imagine that it is a sock; This is one of the reasons why he has just fallen into a mindset.
But once I touched the real thing, I settled down to look at it again, but I felt a lot more inexplicably pleasing to the eye.
Ran Chuchu put his hands on his cheeks and smiled: "This is my heart." Wear it when you encounter something important or on a critical occasion; Maybe it can bring you good luck. ”
