Chapter 168: Woman
Barren mountains, ancient temples, cold spring rain.
The wind is blowing, and it is bleak.
A bundle of firewood was gathered together and a campfire was lit to bring a little warmth.
This is the main hall, quite spacious, but everywhere there is a smell of decay and decay, even the first place to enshrine the big Buddha statue, is also broken hands and feet, the golden body is broken, cobwebs are horizontal.
It was late, it was dark outside, and many places in the temple could not be explored.
Anyway, the huge temple was empty, silent, and so quiet that people were panicking.
Ning Yi made a move, got some branches and leaves, tied them into a broom, and cleaned the hall.
Chen Tang looked at the Buddha statue and was silent.
Once upon a time, in the Yin country, the Shi family was popular, and the incense was prosperous. Temples of all sizes are blooming everywhere, whether it is a bustling city, a barren mountain range, or a deep mountain, almost all of them can see the existence of temples.
Shijia itself is a big concept, encompassing countless branches and believing in ideas, but in fact it is not uniform. Rather, it is loosely separated, autonomous, and each does its own thing.
In contrast, the same is true of Daomen.
It's like Fushan Guan belongs to the Daomen, but it doesn't fully represent the Daomen, it's just a top-notch faction in the Daomen.
There are many branches of the Shi family, so it is even more difficult to count. According to Chen Tang's knowledge, the most representative ones are Tianchan Temple, Yanming Temple in Beijing, Feilai Temple in Jiangnan, etc......
As for the temples in the area, there are countless like stars.
This Fayuan Temple is one of them. It is located in the territory of Yuruo County, and in the local area, it is quite famous, but when it goes outside, it will not enter the stream.
Chen Tang didn't know whether the presiding monks in the temple had the power to cultivate, so he thought he should have some ability. However, it is difficult to say how high the ability is. At the moment, it seems that it was invaded by evil spirits and the whole temple was destroyed, and it must not be high.
So, what exactly is evil?
Outside the door before, the formation of the delusion realm was mainly caused by the yin qi, and did not reveal too many clues. The yin qi was dissipated, and the original form was suddenly revealed.
Also, what's going on with the money lifter?
Chen Tang wasn't sure that the evil slave of the Qian family lied and deliberately tricked them into coming here to die-this is a possibility, but there is also another possibility.
He pondered in front of the Buddha statue, and Ning Yi couldn't help but say: "No, I'm dying of thirst, I have to get some water to drink." ”
Quench thirst and hunger.
But it's hard to count on food, and water is easy to get, after all, it's raining outside. There is also a well in the courtyard, but there are many dead people here, and I am afraid that the well water has been polluted and cannot be drunk.
Ning Yi went out to study, although he didn't bring a rice bowl, but there was a water bag, so he immediately used the empty bag to go to the yard to catch the rain to drink.
Chen Tang was not used to drinking raw water, his eyes swept away, and when he saw a square copper incense burner poured in front of the Buddha statue, he immediately closed it and made a salute, muttering a few words in his mouth. Then take it down, scrub it with incense ash, and then take a boil of water, and put it directly on the fire to burn.
Seeing this, Ning Yi blinked, walked over to add firewood, and said with a smile: "It's still not a way." ”
Boiled water, of course, tastes better than raw water.
The firewood was crackling and burning, and the wind and rain outside became heavier. A gust of wind swept by, making a strange whining sound.
Chen Tang sat on the edge of the fire, closed his eyes and recuperated, in fact, he wanted to enter the state of unity between heaven and man and feel the movement around him.
As his breath increased, his shape after entering the state also changed subtly, with six senses and a keen sense of touch, just like the radar had been upgraded, and the range he could cover was quite increased.
It's not that it can cover the world all at once, there are still limitations, and there are inductions around you.
And the fish-shaped breath that appeared in the form of the tail quietly floated and sank in the sea of air, as if it was being warmed.
If you enter the non-commissioned officer together, you can pay ten years of homework. Chen Tang felt that it might be due to the blessing of the aura of Tanhua that it could have such an effect. If it is an ordinary jinshi, such as the second and third grades, it will be weakened in turn.
The sudden death of the emperor had a far-reaching impact, and the drastic changes caused by Chen Tang could not be seen, but he could feel it.
Although he is a noble tanhua and has achieved great success in fame, he is also limited to the current imperial examination. For the real official circle, they are still laymen, and they can't get in.
The Son of Heaven takes the exam every three years, and in each session, hundreds of Jinshi can be examined. Three years and three years, how much will it accumulate?
After passing the Jinshi examination, he will be given a lot of land and property, and he will receive it every month. But these achievements are mainly reflected in the locality, in the capital, whether it is a flower exploration or even a champion, it is nothing.
The champion directly entered the Hanlin Academy as a compiler, and the official rank was not low, but after all, it was an idle position, and he had no real power, and the reason why he was favored by others was nothing more than having development potential. However, realizing potential is no easy task.
Especially in turbulent times, the aura of fame has undoubtedly been greatly weakened.
After not having to participate in the Qionglin banquet, many new scholars left Beijing and returned to their hometowns, away from the capital, a place of right and wrong. After returning home, discuss with the family, mobilize all the lover's connections, implement the official position as soon as possible, and then go to the post, embark on the eunuch journey as soon as possible, and accumulate capital.
This is the right way.
But Chen Tang didn't have too many ideas about his career. In this regard, he has no way out, and he neglects to run for officials to give gifts. is basically in a state of letting the imperial court arrange it, and as a tanhua, an arrangement can't run.
In this case, it is better to focus on improving your own strength, and rely on it.
Along the way, Chen Tang cultivated his qi and practiced martial arts, all in this general direction. And the core is to cultivate the breath to the fullest. It is difficult to have a second time to absorb official qi, but it is much easier to absorb yin qi.
This Fayuan Temple has changed, there is a yin atmosphere, Chen Tang is not surprised, he wants to explore it, why does the culprit behind the scenes exist. Whether it's absorbing it yourself or collecting it in the sword box, it's an opportunity.
If you have an opportunity, how can you let it go?
Some of the elegant yin qi is too thin, and Chen Tang can't look down on it, but also to avoid startling the grass and snakes, so he doesn't move.
He only hoped that, tonight, not too peaceful.
......
"If you don't think so, you just meditate, don't you sleep?"
As the night deepened, Ning Yi suddenly woke up and asked.
Chen Tang replied: "I'm used to it." ”
Ning Yi sighed and didn't ask too much. In this way, it is equivalent to someone keeping vigil and adding firewood to make a fire, and he sleeps soundly.
I drank a stomach of water before, and when I was in a hurry, I got up and said, "I'll go outside to relieve myself." ”
He put on his clothes and ran out.
The wind and rain stopped at some point, and it was dark outside. Ning Yi looked a little nervous, and didn't dare to run too far, so he went to a corner of the courtyard and muttered, "Buddha bless, don't blame it." ”
Unbuckle your belt and start draining the water.
Rustle rustle......
Suddenly, Ning Yi heard footsteps in the corridor on the side, he was startled, and when he looked up, he saw a person walking there with a white lantern. Under the light of the fire, this person turned out to be a graceful young woman, dressed in a white dress, swaying.
As the so-called beauty under the lamp, it is really glamorous, as if it is stunning.
"Childe, come here......"
The young and beautiful woman beckoned, and Ning Yi suddenly felt that her head was confused, and she couldn't even bother to pull her pants up, so she walked towards the other party with stiff steps......
In the hall, Chen Tang suddenly opened his eyes.
