[Please see the official collection, that is, click to join the bookshelf, only the more collected, the more the book will rise, in order to accompany the readers to go further, thank you here.] γ
In the study, a faint fishy smell quietly permeated, with a strange floral fragrance, the two flavors were blended together, smelling it made the tip of the tongue bitter, and the back of the head was groggy, as if floating in the endless sea water, and then I saw Xu Zhao's tired expression suddenly appear a trace of dazedness, but not completely lost in it, tremblingly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a ball of cyan powder and bounced into his nostrils.
A burst of fresh air rushed to his head, Xu Zhao was full of excitement, and the whole person immediately sobered up.
"Dan is done!" Xu Zhao said excitedly, his fingertips beating back and forth like a shuttle.
The tongue of fire around the Dan furnace gradually receded, the temperature gradually stabilized, and then turned his hand over, and lifted the lid of the furnace with the method of remote photography, and a longan-sized emerald green pill was angry from the green smoke, and the whole body was smooth and lush, like a delicate stone, Xu Zhao obliquely slipped the jade bottle that had been prepared, and the emerald green projectile flew into the mouth of the bottle, and the whole process was extremely familiar, without a trace of error, showing profound experience.
"Senior brother, this is Heng Dan. β
Xu Zhao's fingertips carved back and forth on the jade bottle, ready to arrange a simple seal to prevent the medicinal properties of this pill from dissipating and losing, but Zhang Qian waved his hand to stop him and said: "There is no need to be so troublesome, I can take the medicine to survive, you go to the side hall to rest, don't come to disturb me." β
"Senior brother, you really haven't crossed the bitter sea demon yet?" Xu Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Qian glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "If I have crossed the Bitter Sea Heart Demon, what do you want you to do by refining this Crossing Pill?"
Xu Zhao still couldn't believe it when he heard this, if Zhang Qian just survived the cultivation realm of helpless demons, how could he use the means of gathering fire into evil, even if he relied on the earth fire burning god array in the cage, it was still impossible to do it, he subconsciously wanted to ask, but the words fell into his mouth, so he quickly swallowed back, everyone has their own secrets, this is a means to settle down, how can it be easily revealed, although he is now standing in the same boat as Zhang Qian, but the two have not reached the point of intimacy, rashly inquiring about these things is very likely to cause the other party to kill in their heartsγ
"Senior brother can't be careless, it's hard to cross the bitter sea, it's better to burn incense and bathe for a few days before starting. Xu Zhao changed the subject.
"The heart is fearless, the heart is calm, and burning incense and bathing are all ways to deceive oneself, and the more mud and water you drag, the more uncontrollable your state of mind is. Zhang Qian waved his hand to interrupt his intention to continue, and then asked the deacon's disciple to lead him out of the study, opening the prohibition of the western corridor.
He sat down in his chair, his gaze slowly swept over the dim environment, and made sure that there was nothing to disturb his mind, so he didn't think much about it, and took the crossing pill, and the medicinal properties gradually dispersed, and a strong tiredness came to his heart, as if he had been floating in the cold and empty sea of the dark for days and nights, the sky and the earth were gray, and the boundaries could not be distinguished, as if there was a never-ending world, and then this gray world began to give birth to color.
But in a moment, I saw the bustling downtown area, the peddlers' pawns, and the red sleeves of the building, which made people addicted to it.
He didn't know where he came from, he appeared in this strange world like this, with a clean and hard bluestone street under his feet, he couldn't help but step on it, the soles of his shoes collided with the ground to make a clear sound, and then drowned in the noise of this red dust, he slowly raised his head and found that he was in a bustling street, the bustling crowd rubbed shoulders with him, and a complex emotion suddenly arose in the quiet Dao heart.
It seems to have faded away from its brilliance and become like a mediocre person in this world.
For a moment, he seemed to have lost that subtle communication with this world, and the originally clear and clear world suddenly became blurred.
You can only see with your eyes and hear with your ears.
What can be seen is the hot and cold world, and the words of the market are heard.
"The world is like a sea of suffering, and if you fall into it, you will fall into your heart, miss the Great Dao, and you will not be able to cast magical spells. Zhang Qian finally understood why the bitter sea demon was so terrifying, at the beginning, Wang Shu just attracted a trace of the demon, and before he fell into the sea of suffering, his strength was greatly reduced, and he died tragically in his hands, and he was really wronged to think about it, and he was very lucky, if it weren't for this, he would have died with ten lives that day.
This bitter sea illusion is endless, but Zhang Qian has no way to break it, so he can only walk slowly along the avenue.
Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw seven or eight officials rushing towards him through the crowd, how familiar was this scene? Zhang Qian couldn't help laughing, if he hadn't been blood-stained in anger at the beginning, he would not have had his own place in the world, and now he would not have fallen into this predicament of precariousness and his life hanging by a thread, and perhaps he would be a carefree Langzhong in the medical hall of Qingyang County.
In fact, this kind of life is quite good, and he has been like this for the past eighteen years.
"Is this a chance to give yourself a new choice?" The smile on the corner of Zhang Qian's mouth was more than obvious, since entering Xiaowei Mountain, in this precarious situation, he was careless and cautious all the time, and the trace of warmth in his heart had already been slashed clean with the knife in his hand.
The seven or eight officials were getting closer and closer, and the iron locks kept colliding with each other as they ran, making a screeching sound.
"There is no such thing as a repetition in the world, don't lie to me. Zhang Qian looked at the gray sky, and suddenly said, those officials took this opportunity to get close to him, and the iron lock was fiercely put on his neck, at this moment, he raised his hand violently, grabbed the wrist-thick iron chain in the air, and as soon as his five fingers were tight, he flowed out of his fingers like mud, and then he didn't blink, and walked seven steps in a row, waving his hand like a knife.
Seven servants died in the streets, each with a terrible wound on their chests, like a blunt plough out.
Zhang Qianqian dragged a roll of cotton cloth on the cloth stall on the street, wiped the blood on his hands, and suddenly felt that someone looked at him again, and looked back at dusk, and saw a woman with a moving face on the green building on the street looking at him in front of the window, there was no fear in his eyes, no surprise, and even with a quiet smile on the corner of his mouth, he seemed to be familiar with the scene in front of him, he thought that he would see Yang Jiye when he turned back, but he didn't expect to see her.
This woman is naturally the woman seen in Zhang Qianqian's ** Heart Demon and Bitter Sea Heart Demon.
When crossing the fear demon, Zhang Qian thought that he had seen through her trick, and then removed it from his heart, because he didn't see this woman when he crossed the helpless demon, but he didn't expect to see her again in the Bitter Sea Fantasy Realm. Now although he has not been bewitched by the illusion, he does not know how to break through the sea of suffering, in this red world, he has lost all his magical powers, how can he transcend it? The woman in front of him may be an opportunity.
Zhang Qian ignored the corpses on the street and walked towards the green building.
The murderous spirit on his body was dignified, and the maid and bustard avoided it all the way in, so he easily went upstairs, regardless of whether it was his daughter's boudoir, pushed the door and walked in, and saw the woman standing under the bead curtain by the window, with a bright and moving temperament, and couldn't help but move in his heart.
Although this woman has exactly the same face as the person she saw in the illusion before, there is a slight difference in temperament.
The former seems to be as cold as jade, but it charms all beings.
The latter seems to charm all beings, smiling like a flower, but there is a kind of reserved and dignified that rejects people thousands of miles away, it seems to be within reach, but in fact it is out of reach.
Zhang Qian's insight into people's hearts immediately noticed this difference, and he decided that what he saw in the illusion before and after was not the same person.
"Who are you?" Zhang Qian asked an extremely simple and direct question.
"Little woman Su Mucheng. The woman smiled skillfully, her eyes were like crescent moons, and she looked like she was turning people upside down.
Zhang Qian ignored it and continued to ask, "Then who is she?"
"Su Muqing. The woman still didn't hide it, and her smile became more and more moving.
Zhang Qian is like a clay sculpture of wood, ignoring the soul-stirring smile, thinking a little in his heart, he guessed the relationship between the two in his heart, I am afraid that they are twin sisters, but this has nothing to do with him, these two women appeared in his heart magic realm twice and three times, and if they want to spoil his practice, his heart is punishable, and when he intersects his eyes, there is inevitably a trace of murderous intent in the corners of his eyes, and there is a bit of a big scene, but he doesn't care, and laughs dryly.
"If you have any tricks, use them now, otherwise when I break through this Bitter Sea Illusion, you won't have a chance. β
What he said was not the slightest human touch, and his words were harsh and cold.
It's as if there is not a rare woman who turns all beings upside down, but a disgusting scoundrel.
