185. Emperor Wei sent an envoy
Although Langya prefers raw meat, it prefers cooked meat.
The cooked meat brought by the servant was delicious, and she tasted it, and began to chew it without being reserved. Sima Wenzhi was not interested in eating at the moment, so he took out the Shangqing Sect Classics and walked to the side to look at them.
Before he rested last night, he wanted to understand something. In the short term, his cultivation will not improve again, and he can only find a way to make his spell go further.
Since leaving the Qingxuan Mountain Gate, he had a feeling in his heart that had become stronger and stronger. Inside the mountain gate, pay attention to qualifications, and outside the mountain gate, you are more interested in a person's ability.
If he had a clever technique, he would not easily miss that act in the Imperial City of the Song Kingdom. If the magic is strong, Jiankang will not be controlled by others outside the city, and in the end, he will have to rely on Ling Shuang to rescue.
As for the subsequent experience in Fang Yu County, this is even more so, in addition to poor cultivation, he is also constrained by magic everywhere.
Throughout his previous battles with others, the spells he cast have not changed much, they are all fire arts, illusion techniques, and supplemented by Origin Heavenly Thunder in the later stage.
There are no tricks, and there is a lack of domineering spells, so you can't crush your opponent, and you can't win by surprise.
Thinking of this, Sima Wenzhi closed the scriptures and began to recite them silently in his heart. The content of silent recitation is the two righteous ways that can only be practiced by the masters of the Shangqing Sect in the past dynasties.
After the silence, he took the initiative to give up Qiankun Wuji.
Although this method is overbearing, the backlash is also very painful, similar to self-harm. Even if you can practice successfully, you won't use it easily.
The remaining one is to reverse yin and yang.
Diguzi once warned that he was not allowed to exercise the Dharma until the later stage of the gods. At the moment, it is just a study, not a performance, and it should be okay.
Moreover, when Diguzi admonished, he didn't know Sima Wenzhi's practice of the Neidan method. With Neidan in his body, his cultivation is higher than that of others in the same realm, and he can barely be regarded as half a late stage at this moment.
However, after trying, Sima Wenzhi realized that he still could not start studying.
When a monk studies magic, he needs to be calm, and this is why he often goes to the back mountain when he was at the Qingxuan Mountain Gate.
The inability to meditate at this moment is due to external causes. Langya was chewing meat on the side, and the noise was so loud that he couldn't calm down.
"Langya, don't be greedy for me, go outside. After trying again to no avail, Sima Wen became irritable and lost his temper.
Langya heard the words, as if she didn't understand. After looking up, he lowered his head to eat, and ignored it.
Seeing this, Sima could only laugh at himself.
Practitioners need to be firm in their minds, and if they don't have enough concentration to blame others, they have already lost their morality first.
Thinking of this, he began to recite the Great Cave Sutra. It makes a sound when reciting, and it is no longer a silent recitation.
The Great Cave Sutra is the supreme secret method of the Shangqing Sect, and when Sima Wenzhi recites it, he is assisted by spiritual power. Langya couldn't bear it after hearing this, and began to howl with dissatisfaction, and after a while, he picked up the food and walked out the door.
That's fine, don't delay each other, do your own thing.
Reversing yin and yang is the upright Dharma, and it is stronger than the ordinary Dharma, and the scriptures are obscure and difficult to study. Several hours had passed from midnight to mid-afternoon, and he still hadn't found the way.
If you can't find the way, don't force the extravagance first. Sima Wenzhi stopped studying and began to adjust the aura around him.
In fact, when he was studying the Dharma, he was not distracted, always paying attention to his footsteps outside the door.
Xu Bingjin didn't see him yesterday because it was late. If the prediction is good, I will order someone to take him to meet him during the day today.
It's just that for some reason, in the past few hours, although there were footsteps outside the door several times, they were all borrowed, and no one came to knock on the door.
And it was after half an hour, until another servant brought him supper, that no one called him away.
I didn't want to wait any longer, and when the servant was about to leave, Sima Wenzhi took the initiative to ask if the sect master of the Xu clan was in the fort these days.
The servants who brought him food were only subordinates, unable to respond to questions. But the servant knew who had brought him and reminded him whether he wanted to send a message to Mu Lao.
"Who is Elder Mu?" asked Sima after hearing this.
"The man who brought Childe here yesterday. The servant replied truthfully.
"What is your position in the palace?" asked Sima before listening.
"Mu Lao does not have a clear position, this person and the sect master are both master and servant and friends, there is no clear position in the castle, and he is not bound by many rules. The servant replied again.
"You go first, no need to send a message. Sima Wen made a decision in his heart and sent the servant away.
This continued for several days after that, and every day he was brought delicate food, and no one came to call him elsewhere.
Although Sima asked him doubtfully, he was also happy. After a few days of traveling, it is rare to be comfortable, just to rest and recuperate, and to speculate on the scriptures of the sect.
Sima asked that nothing had happened here, and the Xu clan had been busy in the past few days, renovating some courtyards and purchasing and preparing some things. The footsteps he heard were the sound of the servants in the fort running.
In January and February last year, in order to stabilize the imperial power, Emperor Liu Yilong of the Song Dynasty successively removed important ministers Xu Xianzhi, Xie Hui and others, and then rectified the rule of officials and listened to the people's customs.
In August, when the Song state was becoming more stable, Liu Yilong sent the military general Ji Heng to Wei to show that the two countries were reconciled.
A few days ago, Emperor Wei Tuoba Tao personally issued a decree. In order to report the visit of the Song envoy to Wei last year, he sent a staff member to visit the Song State with a long cavalry commander. On the way to the Song Kingdom, Budui will take Luoyang.
I don't know what kind of way Xu Bingjin passed, how much favor and money he gave up, and got Budui's own promise. When you take Luoyang, you will stay at Xu's Wubao.
In the past few days, he has not seen Sima to ask him, except that the person who investigated the details has not returned, and he is indeed very busy because of mundane affairs. Tomorrow afternoon, the imperial envoys and their entourage will enter the Luoyang region, and many things inside and outside the fort need to be decided by him.
When the night came, and after the servants in the fort rested in turn, Xu Bing took time out to call Mu Lao to the house.
"When will the people sent to find out the news be able to return?"
Soon after, the old man arrived, and had just closed the door when he entered the house, when he heard the words of inquiry.
"It's not certain yet. However, I have already laid eyeliner next to the main road back to Luoyang. When someone returns, they will immediately send the news back. The old man replied to the question and took the initiative to inform the follow-up arrangement.
"Sect Master, why is it so urgent?" he asked rhetorically after responding.
"There was no need for such urgency. Xu Bingjin didn't hide it from him, and continued to explain after replying.
"It's just that I received news two days ago that among the people on this trip, there are new disciples of the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country. In the past two years, Taoism has risen in the DPRK, and if this person is innocent, he can entertain the envoys during the banquet tomorrow. ”
"It's just..."Speaking of this, Xu Bing stopped at a moment's notice.
"Sect Master, what's it?" the old man asked again.
"It's just that the person sent has not yet returned, and this person has appeared too coincidentally, and I don't want to take any risks, and I can't make a decision. Xu Bing said that he was entangled.
