Chapter 20: The Past
The early morning chill returns to the birds.
Although the sun was faintly visible, the waning moon could still be faintly seen on the west side of the sky.
A few crisp bird cries seemed to come from the horizon, a little more distant and empty.
Oak Yang Residence, in the Qingfeng Courtyard. Cheng Linyuan had already woken up when the first ray of sunlight pierced the clouds and fell on the window paper. He was huddled in the soft futon, with only one head exposed. There were no candles in the room, and it was dark. His eyes were bright, and he was staring at the door, not knowing what he was thinkingβ
"Squeak" The wooden door opened and closed, and Yun Wanzhou, dressed in a cyan robe, walked out of the house with a smile on his face. A fresh breeze greeted him with a slight coolness, and he watched the flowers and plants in the courtyard move slightly, raised his arms and stretched out his waist, as if it was very comfortable, and then he took the wooden door with his backhand and walked up to the corridor.
Except for the sound of his footsteps, he could only faintly hear a faint sound coming from the other end of the hallway. Everything seems to be still immersed in yesterday's time, only the oncoming breeze with the overnight coolness gently tells that it is a new day.
Yun Wanzhou's clothes moved slightly, and he walked slowly on the corridor. When he was in front of the house, he stopped and paused, and did not look into the house, but only paused for a moment and then walked away with a pale face.
The breeze is in the courtyard, and the breeze is blowing.
Yun Wanzhou stood on the gravel path in the courtyard, looked up and saw a little golden light scattered among the leaves and forests, the corners of his mouth slightly raised his sleeve robe and waved gently, and there seemed to be a force within a few feet of the path in front of him, accompanied by a rustling sound, and there were constantly gravel rolling into the grass on both sides.
He recited a mantra in his mouth, and the sword trick in his hand suddenly rose, and a sword roared like a frightening flight into the air. A long sword appeared in his hand, and when he looked closely, the long sword was as bright as autumn water, and the sword light around his body seemed to have spiritual consciousness constantly swallowing, and the sword body was like a clear spring leaking out of the small stones in the forest under the moon, and the aura was compelling.
The palm of his hand was released, and the long sword floated in mid-air, flying around Yun Wanzhou's body a few times, and then his right hand sank sharply, and suddenly stopped when it was only a few inches above the ground, and a small sword mark appeared in the silence on the ground below.
Yun Wanzhou didn't care about the dust under his feet, and sat down cross-legged, his hands lightly raised on his legs, his eyes slightly closed. Underneath him, a clear qi visible to the naked eye gradually appeared. From light to strong, from less to more. The clear qi continued to be one after another, flickering bright and dark as if synchronized with his breathing, and at this time, his whole person looked as if he was sitting in a clear light lotus, and the awe-inspiring fairy qi was permeating everywhere.
Attract the spirit into the body, and then wander around the heavens, temper the meridians along the way, and after the three hundred and sixty orifices around the body have passed, you can absorb the spiritual energy in the dantian. In this way, step by step, until the dantian aura is overflowing and slowly surpasses the mortal body of the layman, you can practice the Tao and then spy on the Dao, which is called "cultivation". And this is exactly the method used by most monks in the world, but although it is generally the same, the details are very different.
For example, from the moment when Parkway introduces the spirit into the body, how can it be concluded which meridian the spiritual energy should be introduced into the next step, or which acupuncture point it will pass through? There are tens of thousands of meridians in the human body, and which of them can lead to the big acupoints, and which can save time and effort with half the effort, how can it be summed up in a word? Only by careful exploration of manpower can we know, but when manpower is finally exhausted, people who are not gifted or ancestors of the sect cannot know everything, but how can people with peerless talents find it at will? It is a great sect such as Liuyun Valley, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not known how far most of the sects in the world will be left behind from a single set of exercises, and the time saved for young disciples has been counted in hundreds of years.
As for Yun Wanzhou, what he used was the mental method that had been painstakingly tempered by countless Liuyun Valley predecessors all their lives, called "Zhou Tianxing Qi Technique". As the name suggests, this is just a very basic method, which is mostly used to build the foundation and cultivate the yuan.
Of course, this is just the so-called "basic" for the disciples of such big sects as Liuyun Valley, and countless people from small sects have always envied them-
Standing in front of the door between the sunlit square inches, Cheng Linyuan raised his head slightly. The light is bright but not dazzling, and the body is bathed in a faint light, but you don't feel a trace of temperature. For some reason, he had a faint fear of the unknown future he was about to face outside the house, but when he thought of all the things that appeared in his dreams recently, he suddenly felt like he was in an ice cellar in the heart of the sun, and a chill swept from his heart.
He gritted his teeth, reached out and slammed the door open, and rushed out with an arrow, as if the door he had brought with him seemed to separate the two worlds. Cheng Linyuan's face was a little pale in front of his own door, he took a deep breath and walked to the wooden pillar of the cloister, and did not look back. Because, in the courtyard in front of him, Yun Wanzhou was practicing Qi Luck Gong, and in an instant, he ignored his previous thoughts, and only stared at a scene closely.
Inside the house, on the glass dragon color plate in the sandalwood frame, there seemed to be a faint gray light flashing-
The clear light flashed several times, and then like a lotus flower opening and closing, it poured towards the great caves of the heavens.
Passing through the Divine Court, wearing the Purple Palace, breaking the spring, sinking the dantian....Na Ling enters the body, and the qi is thirty-six weeks, and it is successful.
Yun Wanzhou's eyes opened, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and suddenly heard the soft sound of the Shocking Sword, and his thoughts moved slightly. His eyelids sank slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he suddenly got up, and the sword beside him also jumped up, stopping firmly at the place where he was shoulder-to-shoulder.
Yun Wanzhou pinched the sword trick, and with a light click, the sword suddenly shone brightly, and the person who practiced the sword retreated, and the sword moves in his hand were free. A green shirt in the sky in the shadow of the sword, the fairy sword in the hand suddenly like a swirling autumn water, flying around, the sword moves look elegant, but the sword intent between the big opening and closing is hidden murderous.
Cheng Linyuan, who was standing next to the wooden pillar, saw the changes in the court, and before he could react, the sword momentum was already surging like an ocean. The strong wind was blowing, and he was almost pushed away involuntarily, so he hurriedly wrapped his hands around the wooden pillar. Tightly attached to it, but his eyes were fixed on the court, for fear of missing something.
The fairy sword groaned lightly, and the sword qi in the sky shot out like a substance. The Shocking Sword broke through the heavy sword shadows, and a little cold light changed from small to large, like a phoenix dancing for nine days, and the sound of sword roars spread out from the Qingfeng Courtyard.
In the distance, there seemed to be a few exclamations.
With a crisp sound of "ding", the Shocking Sword stopped in front of Yun Wanzhou, and an invisible qi burst out in a circle. Along the way, countless flowers and plants are like duckweed encountering waves, and a little dew falls like rain. Yun Wanzhou's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Cheng Linyuan next to the stake, and swept out with a snatch of the fairy sword.
The sword is like snow, and the cold dew is blowing on the face.
The sun also completely escaped from the clouds at this moment, and under the dazzling sunlight, a little cold dew reflected the golden light of the Dao Dao. The next moment, it has appeared in front of you.
In the muffled sound of "poof", a circle of dew wet Cheng Linyuan's chest and placket. There seemed to be a slight vibration in the palm of the hand.
He looked down at the clothes on his chest, and a water mark was faintly visible. This style of sword trick looks extremely powerful, but it doesn't seem to cause any harm to himself, maybe it's just that the person who practices the sword wants to scare himself.
Thinking slightly, Cheng Linyuan didn't look at the people in the court, but turned his gaze to the wooden pillar that his left hand was holding. He took a few steps back, bent down to take a closer look.
There were several small holes on the thick wooden pillar where the two of them hugged each other. Raising his hand to touch the orifice, there is a slight water stain, as if it has not dried.
Yun Wanzhou looked at this scene with a sword, his eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Cheng Linyuan retracted his gaze, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and said to the people in the court: "Brother Yun, you... Does the master accept disciples?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Yun Wanzhou's mouth, and he thought for a while and said, "Accept it." Do you want to learn from a teacher?"
Cheng Linyuan looked at him in a green shirt and a long body, as if even the sun couldn't hide the arrogance in his bones. So he said without evasion: "Yes, I want revenge." β
Yun Wanzhou's eyes froze, and he said slowly: "What revenge?"
The wind blows through the treetops, and the branches and leaves sway gently. Under the warm sun, there is a bit of unsociable coldness.
A faint voice said: "Kill the person I deserve, and avenge me." β
ββββ
Yunzhou, Gaoling City.
Yun and Cheng are each leading a horse on the city avenue at this moment. There weren't many pedestrians around, but the constant flow of merchants and vendors from outside the city gates was a sign of a new day.
Under the city gate, Cheng Linyuan looked back to the south, although there were pedestrians blocking him, his vision seemed to have crossed thousands of things, and he saw the large green shade in his memory.
The past is like dust, and the clouds are scattered and the water is dry. Although there is a homecoming, it is already a joke.
He withdrew his gaze and stumbled upon a young man on the side of the road looking at him. The young man's face was tired, and he was obviously stunned after seeing Cheng Linyuan, and then quickly turned around and ran back into an alley.
Cheng Linyuan smiled faintly, and when he turned around, there seemed to be a sense of absoluteness in his eyes.
He tilted his head and breathed. Looking at the light dust on the official road outside the city gate, he suddenly grinned. At the same time, he said in a voice that only he could hear: "I'm leaving." β
ββββ
The alleys are flanked by high walls, and there are still some water stains on the potholed bluestone slabs on the ground.
At the end, the wooden door of a low hut was slammed open, and a teenager ran over with a sleepy little girl in his right hand. The little girl ran involuntarily and muttered sleepily, "Brother, what are you doing!"
The boy ignored it and just ran as hard as he could. When he turned out of the alley, he hurried in the direction of the city gate.
In the flow of people, there was no longer the figure he was trying to find.
The little girl yawned again and whispered, "Who are you looking for?"
The boy didn't seem to hear it, and continued to look carefully, but after a moment he finally gave up.
The rising sun sprinkled the sun on the world as always, but at this moment, it was unprecedented warmth in the eyes of this young man. He retracted his gaze, squeezed some silver taels tightly in his left hand, and then he bent down and said slowly to the only relative in front of him: "Xiao Wei, everything will be fine from today on..."
ββββββ
I went out a few days ago, and I don't know why I can't log on to the website on the computer I brought with me. I'm sorry for a few days. Will make it back. There will be a change later.
