Shen Lian is now located in Xicheng, where businessmen and envoys from various countries gather. People come and go, and the atmosphere of the world is the strongest.
As he walked on the street, the sounds of the vendors around him could be heard, and the various people in the restaurant in the distance talking about family, country and world affairs also flowed through his mind, and he became more comfortable processing the information around him.
Observe the moods of all living beings, face the strange thoughts of all kinds of people, always be able to observe from a detached perspective, and instantly deduce what everyone will encounter in the next period of time.
This is not a deduction of heavenly secrets, but a precise calculation.
He didn't even put any effort into it, he just did it unintentionally with his huge soul.
The Xia Guo Ancestral Hall that he had approached before was guarded by a mysterious force, and Shen Lian did not intend to test it today.
On the other hand, he felt something from Ming Luo's magic knife and noticed a slight change in his temperament. That was Yanxu's heavenly magic affecting him.
At the time of Lingtai's discussion, Yanxu was indeed dead, but the purpose of Heavenly Magic and the Great Dream Heart Sutra was to turn everything in life into a dream, until he finally wakes up, which is detachment.
Therefore, life and death in the human world cannot be regarded as real death for Yanxu, who is proficient in heavenly magic. Even if Yanxu's countless incarnations and thoughts of his own self have been eliminated, he has also been in contact with Shen Lian many times. , invisibly contaminated Shen Lian with heavenly magic, leaving a trace of Yanxu's shadow. Even when one day Shen Lian abandoned all the bottom lines in his heart and became truly unscrupulous, Yanxu could use that trace of shadow to achieve an alternative rebirth.
Therefore, Shen Lian in this life is slightly different from his previous self. He had not expected it before. After all, he and Yanxu had some similarities in personality. The biggest difference was that Shen Lian had a bottom line, while Yanxu had no bottom line.
If others noticed this, they might become panicked and find ways to erase all shadows about Yanxu, but after Shen Lian understood it clearly, he just smiled in his heart.
There is no way to define what he is like. Shen Lian feels that he is like water, he will be like that in whatever situation he is in.
The water flows down the cliff and becomes a majestic waterfall. But when it slowly flows down from the mountain, it becomes a clear and moving stream. When hundreds of rivers converge, it becomes the sea. When a shallow pit flows into the water, it becomes a small depression.
Understanding this, Shen Lian can be as relaxed and comfortable as he is now.
Ming Luo is still alive, but his life is not complete. He is standing quietly outside the ancestral hall. The knife in his hand is full of magic. The sergeants who followed him to the ancestral hall that day all went crazy and died because of the magic knife. It ignited the evil spirit they had accumulated over the years and completely confused their minds.
King Xia personally arrived outside the ancestral hall and saw Ming Luo's appearance and the knife in his hand. This knife could already absorb the essence of the sun and the moon on its own, and could even actively devour the essence of living beings. In a sense, this knife had already Became a monster.
King Xia took away the magic knife and also took away Ming Luo's body. His most loyal dog had now lost his soul, leaving only his body.
The ministers thought that King Xia would dig deep into the ground to find the murderer. Even everyone knew that the murderer was the man who moved the mountain early in the morning, but King Xia did nothing, as always.
The ministers were all a little worried. After all, even Ming Luo died at the hands of that person, who would be next.
But King Xia was so calm, which made the ministers subconsciously relax a lot.
Ten days passed and nothing happened to Diqiu.
The originally undulating undercurrent gradually calmed down, but the academy gradually became lively.
Guan Longzi's knowledge really brought many surprises to those students. They did not get any specific practice methods from Guan Longzi, but their understanding of the principles of heaven and earth became much clearer, and they also understood the source of power.
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the creation of all things are all described in Guan Longzi's mouth.
Among them, Wu Ding and Fei Zhong gained the most. They could clearly see their progress, and their auras were getting stronger day by day. This remarkable speed of improvement shocked even them.
In fact, in Guan Longzi's view, it is just because they have a deep foundation and have accumulated a lot of experience. The so-called understanding of one thing can lead to thousands of things, and one can become a Buddha or an immortal upon completion of one's work. This is nothing more than this.
On the other hand, what Lei Jing learned from Shen Lian was much simpler. She was still at the first level, learning how to cut off the breathing from her mouth and nose, and naturally use the pores in her body to exhale the old and absorb the new.
This is a continuous and long-term process, and it will last for a long time to come.
Lei Jing enjoys this time very much, because it is very comfortable. Anyone who spends time with Shen Lian will no longer hate him. He will neither be indifferent to you nor too enthusiastic. He is never far or close, but And be able to grasp the most suitable scale.
Sometimes Lei Jing would get a little emotional about some of Shen Lian's teasing, but Shen Lian quickly saw through it and resolved her dissatisfaction with an understatement.
It's just that it's easy to get along with Shen Lian, but it's too difficult to get close to his heart. Lei Jing really wants to get close to Shen Lian's heart and see clearly what kind of person he is.
This has nothing to do with love, but only with the inherent curiosity of people.
Since three days ago, Shen Lian loved to go to the stream. He would pick a fresh tree trunk at random, and then start carving it with a sharp knife attentively.
Lei Jing followed Shen Lian and saw that the knife was made by an ordinary blacksmith in the city. The material was extremely ordinary.
When Shen Lian carves wood, he will enter a state of total selflessness, and the wood in his hand will gradually turn into a knife.
The knife is much more curved than an ordinary waist knife, somewhat like a crescent moon in the sky.
The lines of the wooden knife are fresh and natural, and look like running water if you look closely. In three days, Shen Lian carved three wooden knives. Each wooden knife looked the same, but Lei Jing felt something was different.
The wooden knife on the first day is not as fresh as the wooden knife on the second day, and the wooden knife on the third day is more vivid than the wooden knife on the second day.
Lei Jing didn't know why she used the word "fresh", probably because she couldn't find any other adjective.
Shen Lian would throw the wooden knife into the running water every time after carving, and this time was no exception.
Lei Jing would secretly pick up the wooden knife, although she didn't know why she would pick it up. You must know that it was something that Shen Lian had thrown away. She, the eldest daughter of a powerful family, would pick up things that others had thrown away. Shameful.
It's just that this time Lei Jing's prediction was wrong. Shen Lian carved the wooden knife and handed it to Lei Jing. The lines on the back and blade were natural and simple, and the overall blade had a vitality, as if the knife might come alive at any time.
