epoch of cultivation

Chapter 33 Longyuan Capital

Heaven is ruthless and secular. During the turbulent day, so many things happened about people's hearts that even with Zhang Yan's indifferent heart, he couldn't help but feel a cold.

People have greed and resentment, as well as monks, but they are buried deeper and more violently. Can the hard pursuit of heaven and feathers become immortals really get out of the world and coexist with heaven and earth? After becoming an immortal, is there no longer seven emotions and six desires, life, old age, illness and death, entanglement of kindness and resentment... Everything is extremely auspicious and beautiful? But without ugliness, how do you know what beauty is? How do you know what light is without darkness?

Zhang Yan questioned his Taoist heart for the first time. It's like holding a sharp knife in hand, accurately dissecving the most confused place in my heart.

The road is invisible. Where on earth can we really go from the other side of life and death to the other side of Nirvana?

Endless confusion struggles violently in the heart of Tao, and the world is like falling into endless darkness.

Zhang Yan, who was shrouded in the night, looked calm, but his body was full of vitality, as if it were a stone that had been weathered for thousands of years, without a trace of life!

A sudden sound of a small but clear sound resounded in my heart, and a vivid picture came to my mind:

A spring thunder exploded, and in the muddy depths, a sesame-sized grass seed broke through the skin, drilled out a touch of tender green, and stretched into the air relentlessly. In an instant, it grows more than half a meter tall, and the color becomes green. At this time, the wind roared, the rain fell, the frost sucked coldly, the snow calmly oppressed, and the feet stepped by ruthlessly...

He never sighed, complained, was depressed, fought with heaven and earth fearlessly and stubbornly, fought against himself, bent down without breaking his waist, proudly like a long sword, pierced the sky!

Before I could taste the joy of victory, a ferocious burning fire suddenly came. It danced and floated in the flames, turning into the most beautiful and noble black, dissipating, annihilating, and in the world.

Another spring thunder exploded, and countless grass seeds woke up and made a similar joyous smile...

"The road is ruthless, and everything has spirits. Cultivate truth and practice truth. Cultivate truth like self. Cultivate truth like selflessness. Cultivate truth like me. If you are not bitter or unhappy, you are extremely happy!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yan, who had no sound, opened his eyes, and his face was as plain as water without joy or sadness. Unconsciously, Zhang Yan broke the shackles of his heart, and the Taoist heart, which was about to collapse, became as solid as a rock, pure and clear in an instant. The refinement and sublimation of the mind is no longer the same as before.

Although the cultivation in the body has not been refined, the benefits of this enlightenment to future practice are immeasurable. This is the mental barrier mentioned by the cultivation world. After this hurdle, the body and mind are transformed, and then you can adapt to and survive under the heavenly path, and then understand the heavenly path, turn into feathers and break through the air!

A gorgeous divine light flashed in his eyes. Zhang Yan stood up and stood quietly in the dark...

The next morning, the sky was clear without wind and waves. The wasteland after the rain was filled with a fresh smell of water vapor, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

But this pleasure disappeared after eating. When eating, everyone rushed to Zhang Yan to get close to him. After all, it was a great thing for them to know a powerful monk. Unexpectedly, after seeing Zhang Yan, everyone's faces changed wildly, and some people even had straight legs. Zhang Yanhun didn't care. He thought that it was during the war last night that he suddenly became a monk, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, everyone resisted the fear and ate, and fled away from Zhang Yan's side one after another.

Now Zhang Yan was puzzled. Seeing everyone stop far away, he carefully discussed. After all, he couldn't help but be curious and peeked at the sound.

"Senior Zhang has changed, like a person, with a chill in his heart. I almost knelt on the ground in fear.

"Me too. Elder Zhang's face is calm, but it's scary. Has the senior's cultivation improved again this night?"

"Who knows, I don't dare to meet Elder Zhang in the future. I have to be scared to meet him again."

......

Hearing this, Zhang Yan smiled and disturbed himself. How did he change?

Zhang Yan looked calm and took Baocai's hand into a wide and exquisite carriage, which was specially prepared by Liao Tou for Zhang Yan.

When he got into the car, Zhang Baocai was abnormal and sat far away from Zhang Yan. He said, "Brother Yan, what's wrong with you? You have become so strange."

Zhang Yan was slightly stunned. Why did Baocai say so? He waved a purple spiritual light and converged into a bright mirror in mid-air.

Zhang Yan looked in the mirror, with wheat-colored skin, thin cheeks, straight nose... It was his original self!

He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help saying, "Bao Cai, how have I changed?"

Zhang Baoqi Ai said, "The face has not changed, but the temperament has changed, and it has become unconsciously scary, just like you are a high god, which makes people awe and dare not approach. Don't you see that everyone is very afraid of you when eating?

Zhang Yan thought about it slightly and thought of the expressions on everyone's faces when eating, which also proved that Baocai's words were true, probably the result of last night's mental transformation. He didn't care what others think, but he saw that even his cousin Zhang Baocai was afraid of himself. Zhang Yan was a little uncertain that it was a change of heart. Is it the Buddha's depletion in the body that makes the magic change itself?

Zhang Yan thought carefully and couldn't figure out why. He smiled and said, "I'm stunned again. No matter what he is, I'll just be myself." Reaching out and pulling Zhang Baocai, he smiled and said, "What, Baocai, you are afraid of your brother Yan, so you don't want Brother Yan?"

Zhang Baocai said with a sad face, "How can I? I'm just kidding."

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Baocai's aggrieved little face and smiled: "In this world, I can ignore anyone except our family. They say that we can just live well by ourselves. Do you understand, Baocai?"

Zhang Baocai seemed to understand and nodded fiercely!

......

With Liao's long shout, the team stepped on the morning sun and continued to move south.

This walk is more than a month. The weather is gradually getting colder, and it is about to enter winter, and the four fields are withered and depressed for a day. Zhang Yan has been sitting in the car with his eyes closed. Now the Buddha has recovered and become deeper and deeper, with a thick golden fog coiled around Dantian, absorbing and swallowing. And the purple magic yuan got the pregnancy of the Xuanyan soul beads, and also became abnormally condensed. The two different forces gradually showed the trend of liquefaction, which made Zhang Yan happy. Once the real element liquefied, it meant that it was time to hit the Jindan period. That day is not far away.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Baocai's meals were basically in the carriage. Part of the reason was that everyone was in awe of Zhang Yan, and the other part of the reason was that Zhang Yan was happy to recover the Buddha's yuan in his spare time. During this period, Zhang Baocai gradually recovered his health and blushed, but he was not as chubby as before. Now he looks handsome, but quite similar to his mother Liu Yunzhi. In Zhang Yan's eyes, he was worried and missed his second uncle and second aunt.

Zhang Baocai is lively and can't stand the loneliness in the car. However, he often runs out of the carriage and plays when he pauses. And after a chance encounter with the bright nun of the Yue family, one and one became very good friends. Zhang Yan looked at it without regard, which was tantamount to acquiescence in disguise. Zhang Yan also learned the name of the nun from Zhang Baocai, Yue Yunshi, a beautiful name.

At night, the string moon is like a hook, and the bright galaxy pours into the night sky. The wind blows the vegetation, like the sound of nature, and the sound of insects from time to time adds a vibrant interest.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Baocai sat side by side by side by the carriage, with their feet swaying in the air and looking at the stars in the sky.

"Brother Yan, I'm always afraid that you don't want me. I'm at the end, and you have stood at the height I have to look up. When can I be like you?" Zhang Baocai looked at the bright starry sky and muttered to himself.

Zhang Yan's heart was shocked. Is this the voice of Baocai? I usually only focus on cultivation, but ignore the feeling of treasure. Zhang Yan thought for a moment and whispered, "In my eyes, you are at the highest place now. You have countless roads to get to me, but I can't find a way to you. Well, it's me who should be sad and afraid."

"Ha ha, Brother Yan, you are really funny. I don't understand, but I know you won't leave me, right?" Zhang Baocai grinned and looked up at Zhang Yan's eyes.

"Of course, I'm afraid that Zhang Baocai won't want me." Zhang Yan touched his cousin's head with a smile on his face. I don't know why I sighed in my heart.

"I believe it!" Zhang Baocai nodded fiercely, smiled like a flower, and pleaded with a playful smile, "Tomorrow we will go to Longyuan City. Let's go to the city to play. That's the largest and most prosperous city of Liang Wuguo, okay, Yaner?"

Zhang Yan was stunned and said, "Your purpose tonight is to do this. Well, let's see how prosperous it is!" After saying that, he looked at the starry night sky in front of him, exhaled gently, and said to himself, "You can't wrong Baocai and suffer with me. If the second aunt knows, although she doesn't scold me, she will feel uncomfortable..."

At night, after Zhang Baocai fell asleep, Zhang Yan was closing his eyes and meditated. He suddenly opened his eyes. Someone came! Then he muttered, "Why is it him?"

The person who came was Liao Tou, who said respectfully in front of Zhang Yan's carriage, "Senior, have you ever slept?"

Zhang Yan got out of the carriage and said indifferently, "Liaotou visited at night. Is there something wrong with Zhang?" With that, he pointed to the distance and walked towards there. But he was afraid of disturbing Zhang Baocai's sleep.

Liaotou quickly followed him and said more respectfully, "We are going to enter Longyuan City tomorrow. Our fleet plans to stay for a few days and buy some goods before moving forward. The little elder came here to ask his predecessors."

Stop in a secluded place, Zhang Yan asked, "Liao Tou is in charge of these things. I can't control these things as an outsider. Is that why Liao's visit late at night?

Liao Tou hurriedly smiled and said, "How dare you disturb the senior Qingxiu? In fact, he came here for the safety of the team. Longyuan City is mixed with fish and dragons, and fights often occur. The little old man is worried about unexpected situations and begs the seniors to save them when necessary.

After saying that, Liao Tou saw that Zhang Yan did not object, he hurriedly added, "The little old man will not let the seniors do it for nothing. Our team has prepared some spiritual stones and useful items for the seniors to express our feelings. When we arrive in Tom City, there will be more generous gifts."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it then. Of course, Zhang will do what he can."

Liao was relieved and said, "Thank you, senior. The little old man also told his men that if it were not a special situation, nothing would have happened."

As he said, he took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhang Yan with both hands: "This is 300 subordinate spiritual stones. Please accept it."

Zhang Yan glanced at the storage bag and waved it casually. The storage bag turned into a dark shadow and fell into his hand. Then he said to Liaotou, "If there is nothing else, Zhang will go back."

When Liaotou saw Zhang Yan accept it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and became more respectful: "Send it to the senior!"
