Chapter 13: A clear mind
The motorcade slowly left Zhenhai Fucheng, but the Xu family had not yet recovered from all the shocking news.
In the main hall of Juying Hall, the five elders of the Presbyterian Church, the head of the family Xu Chaoyang, the young head of the family Xu Xiao, and a group of senior deacons of the Xu family were all present.
Xu Qanying sat in the first seat, looked at Xu Chaoyang, and said: "With the Guo family leaving, the forces in Ruyang County are about to be reshuffled. Although the second young master said that there might be an imperial edict, the edict has not been issued for a day. , I, the Xu family, must not take it lightly. If you continue to give orders, everything will continue as usual and there will be no changes!"
"Yes, Great Elder!" Everyone responded.
Xu Qanying glanced at Xu Xiao at this moment. Xu Xiao's presence has been extremely low recently. He usually guards Zhenhai City, but the family heads and elders have retreated to Xihe Palace to practice martial arts.
As the young head of the family, although he has considerable power, he does not have much say at the moment.
"Xiao'er, what do you think of Sheng'er?" Xu Qinying asked in a deep voice.
"First elder, Sheng'er..."
Xu Xiao was a little speechless. He was an affectionate master. He had more than a dozen sons and four or five daughters. Except for the innate companion thing when he was born, he had not really been close to Xu Disheng in the past five years. Pass.
In the eyes of others, Xu Disheng is a young master who doesn't like to talk much. Apart from Jin Yu, there are almost no people he is close to.
At this moment, he suddenly showed his talents and became the favored one of heaven, and he was the kind of second-grade genius that was unattainable in the legend. The Xu family has not fully accepted this fact.
"Hmph!" Xu Chaoyang snorted coldly, obviously unhappy.
Others may not understand Xu Xiao, but he, the head of the family, knows him best.
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. After all, Sheng'er is also a member of the Xu family." The second elder shook his head and sighed.
…
Although the carriage was luxurious, the road was a bit bumpy. Lord Qingxin sat in it as if he didn't notice it.
Xu Disheng sat at the bottom, and after getting into the carriage, Qingxin Taoist Master did not say a word, but just closed his eyes and practiced.
Xu Disheng didn't speak. He thought about it in his mind. Maybe Taojun was considering his character, so he silently followed the Qi nourishing method of "Shang Qing Qi" to find the sense of Qi.
I sat there for a long time, but had no clue.
Suddenly Daojun opened his eyes and said, "You are cultivating "Shangqing Qi"?"
"yes."
"Stop practicing. You will never be able to cultivate Qi Sense by practicing "Shang Qing Qi". It is a secret teaching for low-level Taoist warriors. You are a second-grade Xuan Vein, and this secret teaching is not applicable to you."
Xu Disheng responded in a low voice, but was a little surprised in his heart.
He got on the carriage early, but he didn't hear Zhang Kemu's words afterwards. At this moment, he didn't know what Xuanmai was.
There were thousands of doubts in his heart, but he didn't say much. He just sat down and bowed his head.
Taoist Lord Qingxin saw that although he was a five-year-old boy, he had a calm mind. He nodded slightly and told Xu Disheng a little about the mysterious veins and Taoist palace.
Shangqing Dao was the state religion of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it was also an independent Taoist sect. All Taoist sects in various states were considered disciples of Shangqing Dao.
As for the Shangqing Dao in Youzhou, there are three innate Dao Lords, which shows how terrifying this force is!
Although powerful, the number of people is extremely small. Moreover, practicing Xuan is different from practicing martial arts. The qualification requirements are extremely strict. The minimum requirement is a third-grade Xuan Vein.
The innateness of martial arts and the innateness of Xuanfa are not the same.
The mysterious magic is wonderful and has all kinds of incredible power, but the innate ones who have cultivated martial arts can only rely on martial arts to fight with martial arts.
Although they both belong to the innate and extraordinary realm, the innate Xuanfa has a lifespan of five hundred years, while the innate martial arts only has a lifespan of two hundred.
The only similarity is that no matter what kind of extraordinary innateness they are, they are extremely rare.
In the horse-drawn carriage in front, Zhang Shichuan, a young man in white, had abandoned his horse and asked his attendant to hold it. He got into the carriage and sat opposite Zhang Kemu.
Zhang Kemu smiled and said: "What? Don't you like riding horses very much? This time you came with me to inspect Ruyang and served as an envoy. Are you satisfied?"
Prince Xing's family education was very strict. Although Zhang Shichuan was the second son and received various educations from aristocratic families since he was a child, he still had a young mind.
After hearing the news about the appearance of a third-grade Dao vein in Ruyang County, I begged my mother and concubine and Crown Prince Xing for a long time before I was allowed to follow Ruyang.
"Ruyang is barren. I really can't stay here for a whole day. I originally wanted to go out and relax, but I was so disappointed here." Zhang Shichuan rubbed his sore feet and spoke softly.
"What do you think of that kid?"
Zhang Shichuan thought of Xu Disheng's calm eyes and his free and easy expression when he reached out to borrow his sword. He felt a little fond of him and murmured: "It would be nice if you were older and you could be a playmate with me..." …”
Zhang Kemu laughed dumbly and said: "Second-grade Xuanmai, you can enter the Shangqing Taoist Palace to practice Xuanxuan, but you want to be your playmate! You can also say this, if the prince hears it, he will punish you severely again. "
"Uncle, you won't tell, right?" There was no outsider at this moment. There was a hint of coquettishness in the young man's tone, and there was a smile in his bright eyes. It was obvious that the uncle and nephew were usually in the same mood. The relationship is very good.
"Luckily, you are also a fourth-grade Taoist and a famous genius in Youyang City. Don't act like a child outside."
"..."
For five years, Xu Disheng has been at a loss and living in confusion.
All this time, I had no goals to speak of, and I even had doubts about the meaning of my own existence.
After following Qingxin Daojun into the carriage, he kept thinking, why did he come to the next life?
For mother Jin Yu? No, Jin Yu’s love
Not only for him, but also for Xu Xiao, his sister Xu Yan, and his parents and brothers such as Jin Hai, Jin Qingzhao, and Jin Qingdi.
Xu Xiao for his father? No, there has always been little closeness between father and son. Because he was born with the jade flute, Xu Xiao has always had some complicated views on him.
As the young head of the family, he is busy with affairs and has many wives, concubines and children, so he will not pay too much attention to this eleventh son.
For the Xu family? Zhenhai Fucheng is where the head of the Xu family is located. In addition to Xu Xiao's lineage, there are seven branches of other elders' lines, including uncles from various clans and more than a hundred brothers and brothers.
Nowadays, Xu Disheng cannot even recognize all the members of the Xu family. In the eyes of others, he is just a child and does not occupy much importance. Therefore, he has never had any special belonging to the Xu family. feel.
Lost all memory, woke up inexplicably, turned into a newborn fetus, only remembering his own name.
There are too many secrets in me, which are too confusing, but I have been in a daze for five years!
I want to know who I am and where I come from!
Only by becoming stronger can these secrets be unlocked.
Xu Disheng opened his eyes suddenly. His eyes were as bright as stars. The soul-nurturing heart secret inside them was running wildly. Two black vortexes were flowing in his pupils, and his whole body's temperament was changing.
The whole person's mood suddenly became clear, and he was almost completely out of the hazy state of these years, as if he was a completely different person.
Taojun Qingxin seemed to have noticed something and opened his eyes to look at Xu Disheng.
Xu Disheng concealed the whirlpool of soul power in his eyes, bowed respectfully, and said: "I ask for your understanding, Lord Dao, for disturbing your practice."
"It's okay. I'm observing the changes in your temperament, but after you figure out certain things, your worries will be gone, and your mood will be clear?"
"The Tao Lord's divine eyes see nothing wrong."
Qingxin Daojun nodded slightly. Although he had a cold personality, he was a little happy to unexpectedly find a second-grade Xuanmai this time. He said: "I know that you still have many doubts. When you get to Youzhou Dao, The government will slowly answer your questions."
"Yes, Lord Dao."
Xu Disheng realized that the soul power he cultivated through the "Soul Song" was completely different from the martial arts or mystical cultivation here. It was a heart technique that directly acted on the soul, which had never been heard of here.
Moreover, although this Qingxin Dao Lord is in the Xiantian Peak Realm, high above, and has a clear vision, he has not discovered that there is still this soul power in his body, nor has he discovered that he has the secret of the sea of consciousness.
After visualizing the sea of consciousness for a while, I saw the green jade flute slowly rotating over the sea of consciousness, with blue light shining down from it from time to time, nourishing the sea of consciousness and suppressing the luck, and I felt a little clear in my heart.
Is this innate companion thing unusual?
Immediately, I felt relieved, and the black soul power circulated throughout my body, flowing through Jianggong point, Shenque point, Baihui point, and finally returned to the sea of consciousness, completing a great cycle.
