Since Shen Lian came back, the palace of Xiliang Kingdom has lost its luxurious decorations and has become simple and deep. But the courtiers were even more in awe when they entered the palace, because Shaojun Shen Lian used a strange flame to turn the entire palace into a whole. There were various rare and exotic animals carved on the terrazzo of the palace and on the ceiling. There are shallow lines on the beams and pillars.
Anyone who feels angry will find that the spirit in the palace is lively and rich. If you stay here, even if you don't eat or drink, your body will naturally absorb some vitality and you can survive for a long time.
If you take the initiative to practice, you will be much faster than outside.
Of course, this is not as good as the Cave Heaven Blessed Land that Qi practitioners have spread word of mouth, but it is considered unique near Xirong.
Chen Jing was in such an environment, and she successfully escaped from her soul for the first time. It was an extremely fresh experience. She could fly freely in the air without any magic, and she lost her physical body. Heaviness, the soul seems to have gained some kind of relief.
Shen Lian once told her that after achieving this step, Taoists call it "trance", which can be regarded as formal practice. As for the subsequent "entering into transformation" and "returning elixir", it can be called entering Taoism, but returning elixir is One step is enough to stop 99% of the practitioners in the world.
The Yin and Shang Dynasty is considered to be the country with the most Qi practitioners, and there are very few Qi practitioners who can truly 'return elixirs'.
But Chen Jing was very satisfied. Without Shen Lian, she would not even be able to practice.
Besides, now that her children are with her, she is very satisfied except that her sister Chen Yun has not been found. She didn't ask Shen Lian about Chen Yun. Although Shen Lian had promised to find her back, he had not told her anything yet.
When Chen Jing was lost in this thought, a maid happened to come in and report, "The prince is here."
Shen Lian naturally has privileges in Xiliang Kingdom, and he can go to see Chen Jing without notification. However, Chen Jing is the leader of the country after all. Although he has a transcendent status, he does not want to undermine Chen Jing's authority.
Even in the eyes of everyone, he can become the leader of the country anytime and anywhere as long as he wants, and there will be no opposition from any citizens.
That is what all the people are looking forward to, including Chen Jing.
It's just that Shen Lian lives quietly in Xuandu Temple, which slightly disappoints many people.
This is not to say that Chen Jing is not good, but that a powerful king has an extraordinary role for a country, such as the king of Xia in Daxia, and Tianyi in Yin and Shang.
When Chen Jing met Shen Lian, she was in the Imperial Garden. A gust of wind swept her daughter Chen Ke up and down in the air, causing her to laugh crisply and happily. The originally silent garden, the moment she entered, , are all open, and the faint fragrance lingers endlessly.
"Lian'er, are you busy today?" Chen Jing looked at the flowers blooming in the garden, smelled the fragrance, and listened to her daughter's laughter, feeling better. It was as if she could fly without the need for her spirit to escape from her shell, or the need to cast any spells.
Chen Ke chuckled and jumped into Chen Jing's arms from the air.
Shen Lian said: "I have something to discuss with my mother."
Chen Jing's face was a little solemn. After all, she still knew that her strange son never paid much attention to other things. Now that the word "discuss" was used, it seemed extremely complicated.
"What's the matter, tell me?" Chen Jing did not agree directly, but said seriously.
Shen Lian said softly: "I want to use great power to refine the Zimu River. I'm afraid that women in the city will no longer be able to get pregnant by drinking the water from the Zimu River, so I want to discuss it with you. If the mother doesn't agree, then Never mind."
"Since you want to do this, you must have your own reasons. It's just that this river is related to the fertility of many people. If the magical effect of the Zimu River disappears, will they be forced to get married?" Chen Jing frowned.
Shen Lian said: "Some people must be unwilling to do this, but some women in our country have begun to get married, which shows that not everyone wants to be alone."
Chen Jing said: "Even if you didn't discuss it with me and just did it, no one could stop you. But since you are willing to discuss it with your mother, I might as well make a request to you."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Does mother want me to inherit the position of the country's leader?"
Chen Jing sighed secretly, it was neither good nor bad to have a son from heaven. However, over the years, her vision and knowledge have been beyond the comparison of previous owners of Xiliang City. She understands very clearly that with her vision, structure and strength, she is no longer suitable to be the leader of the increasingly powerful Xiliang Kingdom.
The reason is that as the territory expands and talented people and strangers come to join him, it will be difficult for them to be convinced by someone like Chen Jing, which is not conducive to the stability of the country.
But it would be even more foolish to prevent talented people from seeking refuge.
High mountains do not allow soil, so they can be strong; rivers and seas do not allow small streams, so they can be deep. She, Chen Jing, can't do the mountains and rivers, only Shen Lian can do it.
But she had always known that Shen Lian and Xi Liang were inseparable.
Chen Jing said: "Do you still want to refuse?"
Shen Lian said: "No, actually I want my mother to be the leader of the country for a few more years, because you can feel that your progress in practice is actually very fast. Part of the reason is related to you being the leader of the country, but you are now If you propose it, I won't be able to refuse it. All methods are more precious than nature, and they are also used in human affairs. You can rest assured that I will be better than Tianyi and King Xia."
Chen Jing sighed: "I believe you. Although I don't know why you had such a change, there must be your own reasons. I won't ask too much, but there is one thing I have always wanted to ask, so let me ask it now. Did you find 'Yun'?"
When Shen Lian saw Chen Jing asking about this, he said it without reservation.
Chen Jing felt a little sad, and finally said: "I should have advised you to keep your hands on her in the future, but if it really comes to that point, just do what you want."
Although Chen Yun and she are sisters, there is no doubt that Chen Jing regards her as her daughter, and the relationship between the two is very deep. She could say this because she felt conflicted, guilty, and even more painful.
Shen Lian said leisurely: "Mother, I sent Li Yuanliang to send her a message. If she sees me next time, I will never show mercy."
Chen Jing's eyebrows trembled. Although she let Shen Lian follow her heart, she didn't expect Shen Lian to be so decisive. For the first time, she realized that Shen Lian had a cold and ruthless side under his gentle appearance. She was a little sad, and secretly made a decision. After not becoming the leader of the country, she quietly went to Nanman to find her.
Shen Lian continued: "Mother, if I become the head of the country, I will change the name of the country to show the intention of innovation. Besides, Xiliang is just a city after all, and the layout is smaller."
"I have thought carefully about changing the country name. After all, most of our territory now does not belong to the original Xiliang City. I think today's world is limited to one family and one family, which has already fallen behind. When a new country name is established, there should be some confusion. ~The atmosphere of perfect compatibility." Chen Jing put aside her melancholy and expressed some insights.
