Chapter 4, Ming Ming Water Moon
After the old man Shui Yue left, Xu Ke couldn't help but fall into a daze.
"What is this place, where do I come from, and where should I go?" Xu Ke thought hard.
"This is the first floor of the Divine King Pavilion, I was kicked in by a white-robed old man, since this is the first floor, then I should go up to find the path to the second layer......"
He soon found the answer.
Xu Ke cheered up and walked in the direction where the old man Shuiyue had fled, looking for it.
He kept walking, but he couldn't find anything.
There are no houses, walls, no flowers and trees, no mountains and hills...... There is almost nothing, there is just a solid and flat ground.
It's empty and endless.
Xu Ke walked aimlessly, and he didn't know how long he walked, strangely, he didn't feel the slightest tiredness in his heart.
He simply found a place casually, sat cross-legged, his five hearts facing up, his eyes slightly closed, his heart was concentrated, and he silently recited the Taiyi Kunlun decision given by Yulu Weng, and gradually his breath converged, his consciousness wandered, and the person was already in a state of sleeping but not sleeping......
In a trance, Xu Ke heard a voice ringing in his ears:
"The air is flowing, the abyss is stopped, the three yin are moved in Huating, the nine yangs are in the Lingtai, the essence is raised, the hidden is hidden, the turbidity is removed from the skin surface, and the light is cleared in the treasury ......"
"Huh, how do you know my Taiyi Kunlun Decisive Heart Method?" Xu Keqi said.
"I am you, you are me, and I know what you have learned. The voice replied.
"Oh, since you are me, do you know what 'Huating' is? What is 'Lingtai'? How do you get to Turbidity Naqing? Where is the treasury?" Xu Ke asked one after another. These questions had been hidden deep in his heart, and he blurted out them at this time.
"Huating, the intersection of the three yin under the knees, the Lingtai, the gathering of the Yuanyang between the eyebrows, the exhalation is the vomit, the inhalation is the clearing, between the exhalation and the inhalation, the light and clear breath is inside, and the heavy turbidity is on the ......surface," the voice patiently answered for Xu Ke.
......
Xu Ke heard his answer to that voice, as if he had a feeling of being opened, he meditated according to his words, slowly exhaled, and a stream of mixed yuan true qi flowed around in his body, and the second pulse of Ren Du dispersed into the hundred points of his limbs, and finally returned to the sea of qi. He only felt that the dantian was like a hot fumigation, and it was like a warm sun baking, and his heart was already hearty and inexplicable.
After Xu Ke ran the Great Zhou Tian, his eyes opened and he jumped up. At this time, he looked around again, but there was a change again.
Suddenly, the wall of the house has appeared beside him, the corridor shines on the wall, and gradually a spacious courtyard appears, which is planted with camphor, plum trees, and peach trees, and a small pond is dug in the middle, and a pavilion is built by the pool, and a plaque is hung on the pavilion, and the word "smelling the rain" is written on it, and the penmanship is delicate and the handwriting is mellow...... He returned to his own home in the Xu Mansion in Liquanfang, Chang'an City.
"Old Man Shuiyue, this is your masterpiece, right?" Xu Ke asked in the air.
There is no echo, and the entire Xu Mansion is like a Hao Garden, with only scenery, no people, and no living creatures.
Since it is his own house, Xu Ke is naturally quite familiar with it, he walked east and west, walked from the front door to the backyard, and walked to Hu Yiyi's Hazelnut Center.
Xu Ke walked into the courtyard and looked around, it was still so clean and elegant. He walked into Hu Yiyi's inner room, foyer, dressing room, and study, and saw that the furnishings there were almost exactly the same as his own home, except for the hostess in the room.
"Ahem! Sister Hu doesn't know what she is doing at this time?" Xu Ke looked at the big bronze mirror that Hu Yiyi used every day, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He knew that everything in front of him was just an illusion, and the so-called "water moon" meant that everything here was like the moon in the water, all of which were in vain.
......
At this time, Xu Mansion was in the house, but Hu Yiyi frowned deeply, and said unhappily: "Ninth sister, how did you know that I was here?"
Mao Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Eldest sister, we have more than a dozen brothers and sisters, but they are all from the same school, this demonic aura on your body, tsk......tt" Mao Jiaojiao raised her nose, sniffed hard, and then said: "Although it is well hidden, the little sister's nose is no worse than the eleventh brother!
Hu Yiyi said coldly: "Ninth sister, you have spent a long time looking for me, what is the matter? I am busy here, I don't have time to greet you!"
"Roaring ......" Mao Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, her body swayed slightly, and she looked more and more coquettish, she said: "Sister is in a hurry to drive me away, isn't there a man hidden inside?"
After that, Mao Jiaojiao stretched her neck and looked around the room, and sniffed it carefully with her nose, and found that there was no "Golden House Hidden Man" in it, she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, and when she saw Yao Zibei's stunned eyes, she couldn't help but look at Yao Zibei a few more times, and then sighed:
"This ...... Whose sister is it? You look very smart, but it's a pity, you're not a man, and you don't suit your sister's appetite?"
"She is my apprentice, follow me to study medicine, you must not scare her!" Hu Yiyi stood sideways in front of Yao Zibei and said softly.
Mao Jiaojiao looked at Yao Zibei's full figure, and couldn't help but stretch out her tongue and lick her lips, and smacked a few times, and then got to the point:
"Eldest sister! The second brother called me to ask, it is rumored that there is a Xuanhuang sword hidden in the palace of the Great Qianguo, the eldest sister has been in Chang'an for so long, do you know where the sword is hidden?"
"Xuanhuang Sword, this is an ancient treasure, how do I know where it is?" Hu Yiyi said impatiently.
"Okay, does the eldest sister know that there is a prince in Qianguo who has been named the king of Wei, who is this person? Is there a master in his palace?" Mao Jiaojiao asked again.
"King Wei, ...... you Are you going to deal with King Wei?" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but ask.
"Eldest sister, it's the younger sister who is asking you!" Mao Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed, and her expression seemed to be slightly unhappy.
Hu Yiyi thought for a while, and then said: "King Wei...... He is a man who does not learn and does not know how to do it, and he specializes in sycophancy, deceiving the trust of the old emperor, and only then did he steal the title of Prince Jiuzhu. It is said that there are many masters in his mansion, but because of this, he is very sorry for his life, because the palace is heavily defended, and the second brother must not act rashly!"
"Isn't that right, eldest sister!" Mao Jiaojiao looked at Hu Yiyi's eyes, and couldn't help but doubt the letter: "In Xiao Guo's intelligence before, it was said that this King of Wei's methods were extremely not simple, and in only two months, he overthrew the prince and the king of Chu; Could it be that this man is a wreckage who is afraid of death?
His dad patted his ass?......"
"It's not the King of Wei who overthrew the prince and the king of Chu!" Shu Haotian, who was hiding behind Hu Yiyi, couldn't help but interject. His words are also true.
"Which one is that?" asked Mao Jiaojiao.
"It's King Zhao!" Without waiting for Shu Hatian to answer, Hu Yiyi hurriedly replied: "The one who is really courageous, talented, loves the people like a son, and has the world in mind is King Zhao." His name is Li Yi, and he is also the deputy pavilion master of the God King Pavilion!"
"The deputy pavilion master of the Divine King Pavilion......! This person, the second brother must be very interested! Eldest sister, twelfth brother, don't you lie to me?" Mao Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Hu Yiyi said: "I'm lying to you! The twelve of us are all on the same mission! You go back and tell the second brother to tell him not to touch the king of Wei! Such an incompetent waste, the old emperor will pass on the throne to him in the future! If the king of Wei dies and a powerful prince ascends the throne, the second brother will not be able to deal with the emperor of Xiao State!"
Mao Jiaojiao said happily: "The eldest sister's words are reasonable! You are really my good eldest sister! The younger sister told the second brother when she went back, what ...... My little sister will take her leave!"
After saying that, Mao Jiaojiao winked at Yao Zibei again, turned around and left.
Later, Shu Hattian was still shouting: "Mao Jiaojiao, you tell the second brother to be careful! King Zhao is not easy to mess with!"
"I know, you little mouse, next time my sister will come to play with you!" Mao Jiaojiao had already stepped out of the front hall, and her voice came in the wind, still so charming.
When Mao Jiaojiao finally went away, Yao Zibei breathed a sigh of relief, she walked to the table and took a big sip of tea from the tea bowl, and couldn't help asking:
"Sister, who is she?
"A big cat! And it's a sassy cat!" Shu hated to look at the direction where Mao Jiaojiao had gone, and said hatefully. But he was still uneasy in his heart, if Mao Jiaojiao suddenly reappeared at this time, and there was no Hu Yiyi by his side, he would be so frightened that he would immediately turn around and flee.
Hu Yiyi took Yao Zibei's hand, patted her shoulder, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Sister is not afraid! She is an old friend of mine, and with her sister here, she doesn't dare to bully you." But the next time you meet her again, don't look into her eyes......"
"Hmm!" Yao Zibei hugged Hu Yiyi tightly, and when she thought of Mao Jiaojiao's seductive appearance, she was extremely uncomfortable. She was just stared at by Mao Jiaojiao just now, and she felt frightened and uneasy for no reason.
"Old sister, why did you lead them to deal with King Zhao?" Shu Hatian asked.
"Nonsense! If I don't push a prince out, they will be unfavorable to King Wei! With the second brother's hard work, no one in the palace of King Wei can stop him! After all, King Wei is kind to Xiao Wuji, I can't see him stabbed?......" Hu Yiyi replied.
It is said that King Zhao's kung fu is derived from the true biography of the Lord of the White Old Pavilion of the God King Pavilion, which can be described as unparalleled in the world. My second brother, none of us can compare to him, once these two fight, they will be very good-looking! If you can use this to make the two of them suffer a little and retreat, and escape back to Xiao Guo and never come to Middle-earth again, that would be the best, haha!"
It was not until this moment that the sense of fear caused by Mao Jiaojiao's arrival, through this burst of laughter, slowly faded away in Shu Haotian's heart.
Hu Yiyi couldn't help frowning, and secretly thought to herself: "The second brother and the ninth sister came from Xiao Guo and hid in Chang'an City, and next, I don't know how much of a storm they want to set off in this capital?" She just hoped that Xiao Wuxian would come back soon, and they would stay away from this place soon.
......
Hu Yiyi, Shu and Yao were talking and tidying up in the middle of the hazel......
Xu Ke walked around, bored, he saw that it was dark, so he returned to his inner room in Honghu Residence, closed his eyes and meditated on the bed, his heart was facing Yuan, and he was calm.
The breath flowed, and in a trance, the voice sounded again, and discussed with him to ponder the various problems in the Taiyi Kunlun decision. Naturally, every time you answer and comprehend, it is also an improvement and leap forward in Xu Ke's internal practice......
Xu Ke ran the internal breath, and after running it all over the week, he woke up, but saw that it was already late at night. The whole house has been lit up everywhere at some point. He got up and walked to the backyard, only to see the starry sky, shining all over the sky, and there was a crescent moon in the sky. This scene is really strange and inexplicable, and I don't know if it's really an illusion.
Xu Ke didn't think much about it, returned to the middle of Honghu and went to bed.
A dreamless night, as if in the blink of an eye, it was a new day.
After dawn, Xu Ke got up, washed briefly, and wandered around the house. All the scenery is exactly the same as his own mansion. He can go wherever he wants, but he will never be able to leave his home.
No matter how hard he tried, pushing his sword with his palm, and using all his means, the gate never moved.
The walls of the entire mansion are also like the first time he entered the Divine King Pavilion, towering into the clouds on all sides, and you can never imagine that you can fly out if you have wings.
What if you can fly out? It's an unknown world out there. For most people, it's better to be trapped in a familiar cage than to blindly rush into the unknown.
In this way, before he knew it, he was in this big mansion for another day.
There is an iron pot stove in the kitchen, and there are rice, noodles and vegetables in the rice warehouse, and he can cook for himself, but he doesn't eat, but he is not hungry.
In his spare time, he practiced swords alone in the back garden, he sometimes followed the way of the five elements, sometimes in the order of the five elements, a Kunwu sword in his hand, wielded into the wind, where the sword qi reached, the leaves were like rain, and the grass all bowed their heads. Where he practiced the rise, he roared and galloped, swinging the sword and closing it together, the sword was as fast as the wind and as sudden as rain, and he carried the sword to the wonderful place, and he felt that all the blocks in his heart and mind were gone, and he was extremely happy......
In the evening, he meditated on the bed again, meditating with his five minds, and communicating with "that voice" next to his ear from time to time. This Taiyi Kunlun decision, what Yulu Weng passed on in the past was self-cultivation and qi training. At that time, Xu Ke was a beginner, and he only knew how to swallow dates and recite hastily, but he never had the opportunity to meet that senior again, and no one gave him guidance. Until today, he often communicates with the "one voice" in his heart, and only then does he gradually understand the essence of this, and his internal strength has been first introduced to the hall and gradually improved......
In this way, day after day, Xu Ke gets up, freshens up, walks, practices swords, reads, meditates and exercises, and goes to bed...... It's repeated every day.
Every morning, too
The sun will rise, and the sun will rise, illuminating the entire Xu Mansion transparently. Every night, the palace lanterns hanging everywhere in the house will also be automatically lit, and at the same time, a bright moon will rise in the sky.
This is Xu's Mansion, and everything here, in Xu Ke's eyes, is both so familiar and so unfamiliar. The strange makes him feel unreal, and the familiar makes him feel real. There is also the rotation of the sun and the moon, and the passage of time. Life here is so quiet and laid-back, that no one bothers him, and no one worries him. In his eyes, everything is the same as yesterday, everything is a repetition and repetition of yesterday......
He was just facing himself all the time, and it was too boring. So, he cooked, washed, and made tea for himself, he cleaned the courtyard and tidied up his room, he drank, wrote, recited poetry, and read books...... He tried to live as he normally would. Still, he was bored, and he wanted to lie down and do nothing.
But even if he doesn't do anything, he is still alone in this world, and he is still bored.
Sometimes, Xu Ke wants to change, he simply doesn't eat, drink, or sleep, he just practices swords and reads books without sleep, reading books and practicing swords, he is not tired, and he does not feel hungry and thirsty, but ...... Still bored.
Xu Ke stayed at his home like this, not knowing the time of time, only knowing the repetition every day. All that accompanies him is the bright moon in the sky every night.
That round of bright moon, from the lack of the moon to the full moon, and from the full moon to the lack of the moon. Xu Ke pinched his fingers and calculated, he was trapped in his "home" like this, at least for no less than six months.
All of his experiences, if they are unreal, are clearly happening every day. If it is true, it is a kind of "truth" that he cannot believe.
Who can tell which things in this world are true and which are false?
Maybe your whole life is just trapped in the falsehood you see, but day after day, after you get used to those falsehoods, you can't help but take them as real.
Maybe one day, when you open your eyes, it seems that you will wake up from a big dream, and then you will perceive the reality around you, and that kind of reality will make you can't help but wonder if everything in front of you will be real?
......
Until one day, Xu Keda sat on a lawn in the back garden, calming his mind and closing his eyes.
Between the sky and the earth, it seems that he is the only one, there is a slight wind around him, but it seems that there is no wind, and there are slight clouds in the sky, and it seems that there are no clouds.
He thought back to the past, and he was pushed down by a white-robed old man. This is the first level of the pavilion, and naturally everything in front of you is an illusion.
He doesn't eat, drink, sleep, or feel hungry or tired, so all the passage of time is also unreal. In the flow of time, he may have stayed where he was.
In this still illusion, time stretches infinitely. In the midst of the obvious falsehood, the surrounding scenery actually exists so truly......
In the end, how to crack it?
Since time is static, then there is no need to pay attention to the changes of time, the sun and the moon rotate, with its rotation, with the long wind, with its passing, no matter what I do, nothing will change for me.
Since everything is false, then the false of the false may be true.
Thinking of this, Xu Ke opened his eyes and jumped up.
At this time, the night is dark, and a full moon in the sky is shining brightly from the sky, and the bright moonlight is like mercury pouring on the ground, illuminating the back garden is white.
Xu Ke walked to the edge of the pool in the back garden, and saw that there was also a full moon in the water, bright and bright, trembling in the middle of the pool.
Xu Ke did not hesitate, immediately jumped into the water, he closed his eyes and closed his heart, and slowly sank to the bottom of the water, until the pool water buried his body completely......
The cold water of the pool overshadowed his eyes and pierced the skin of his body. Xu Ke has miraculous power to protect his body, but he only feels a slight aura, and he feels as usual.
The inability to breathe in the water inevitably made Xu Ke feel stuffy at first, but he relaxed and froze his thoughts, and gradually he was able to let it go.
The tranquil pool water, after Xu Ke threw himself into the water to "commit suicide", caused a ripple, and slowly, it regained its tranquility.
As if none of this had ever happened.
In this house, it seems that there has never been a person like Xu Ke. Even, as if there had never been such a house.
......
"Hahahaha! A clear laugh sounded in Xu Ke's ears, old and simple, majestic and powerful, it was the voice he heard at the beginning. Xu Ke couldn't help but open his eyes, everything around him disappeared, only the old man with crane hair and childish face and fluttering clothes sat opposite.
"Old Man Shuiyue, I've finally found you!" Xu Ke breathed a long sigh of relief and exhaled happily.
He looked around and saw himself sitting in a round red house. The house is surrounded by red mud walls with smooth planks underfoot. In the middle of the house was an incomparably huge red pillar that was covered in red mud, and it took at least ten people to hug it.
"Is this the real first-tier pavilion?" Xu Ke asked excitedly.
"Hmm......" The old man Shuiyue raised his right hand, there was already a delicate celadon bowl in his hand, he took a sip of hot tea, his eyelids didn't move, but he didn't seem to care about Xu Ke's surprise.
"So, may I ask Old Man Shuiyue, what should I do to get out of this God King Pavilion?" Xu Ke hurriedly asked.
"How do you get out of the pavilion, of course, you have to go up layer by layer! When you get to the top floor, you will naturally be able to get out of the pavilion!" the old man replied, his tone seemed to be quite impatient.
"Okay......! Can the old man tell me how to go up to this second floor?" Xu Ke asked worriedly.
"Hmm...... Isn't the staircase there?" the old man turned his head to sign.
Xu Ke looked behind the old man Shuiyue, and sure enough, a mahogany staircase was in front of him.
"This ...... It's that easy?" Xu Ke wondered, he couldn't believe it.
"Otherwise?" said the old man Shuiyue indifferently.
Xu Ke got up, scratched his forehead, walked to the staircase, and leaned over to look at the first floor of the pavilion, only to see that the room was not big, there was no furnishings inside, and it was all mediocre as far as the eye could see.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to go to the next level! cough...... Look, you're panicking me!"
Xu Ke shook his head, sighed secretly, and walked up the stairs.
