Chapter 315 – Xu Ruilao can compose poems? Yuck!

“I don’t really care about him.”

Luo Yu Heng frowned lightly between her brows and said unhappily, “There’s no need for you to use him to stimulate me from time to time, I have my own decision on who to double cultivate with, so I won’t bother my senior brother to worry about it.”

With this look, she looks like she is dissatisfied with being forced into a marriage by her elders ……… The orange cat laughed lightly in her heart and naturally raised her paw ……… to look at it, then put it down.

“It seems that senior sister doesn’t really disdain Xu Qi’an, or, at least, he doesn’t disgust you? Anyway, I know you dislike Emperor Yuan Jing very much.”

“No woman would like a man who asks to double cultivate with you all day.” Luo Yu Heng said indifferently.

That finished, Xu Qi An is also such a person …….. The orange cat was bellyaching in his heart, but on the surface, he was as steady as an old cat and laughed:

“No one can decide for you who senior sister wants to dual-cultivate with. However, dual cultivation couples are not trivial matters and cannot be decided easily, so you should observe more. I have an important piece of information about Xu Qi’an here that might be useful to you.”

Luo Yu Heng’s attitude really improved, nodding his head and saying, “Senior brother, please speak.”

“In fact, this information not only concerns Xu Qi’an, but also involves the hidden secrets of the Ancient Sect of the Ancients.” Daoist Golden Lotus finished, phrasing his words for a moment:

“Number five is a young girl from the Compass Clan, something you should know. Some time ago she left the Southern Border and came to Da Feng to practice ……….”

The orange cat’s paw twitched, suppressing instinct with great resolve, and continued, “But she was lost near Xiangcheng.

“The night before last, I gathered the Third, Fourth, and Sixth to go searching for her together. After several explorations, I found her in a large tomb at the bottom of the southern mountains outside of Xiangcheng.

“The owner of that large tomb is a senior of the Human Sect, judging from the information recorded in the murals, he was born in an era when the descendants of gods and demons were active, and in order to borrow qi to cultivate, he beheaded the king of the country and usurped the throne to become the emperor.”

Usurping the throne and calling himself emperor ……… Luo Yuheng’s brows furrowed, “He is also a second rank?”

The orange cat shook its head and said, “I originally thought the same thing, but later, he failed to cross the tribulation and died. A large tomb was constructed underground.”

“It was built for him by the descendants, I guess.” Luo Yu Heng said as he poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of the orange cat.

The orange cat lowered its head, stuck out its pink tongue, and licked a few mouthfuls of tea, lamenting, “The difference between a cat’s tongue and a human’s is really big, the tea tastes bland and tasteless, it’s a waste, it’s a waste.”

Then cutting back to the main topic, he said in a deep voice, “That’s where the problem lies, that Daoist failed to cross the threshold of the tribulation, but his physical body was not annihilated, and he has been sleeping in the underground palace. After we entered the main tomb, we awakened him.”

What Xu Qi’an could see in detail, how could an old geezer like Daoist Golden Lotus overlook? The scorch marks on that dry corpse, and the strength of its flesh ………

The Golden Lotus Daoist realized on the spot that the dry body was the Daoist, and the old silver coin just pretended not to know.

“This is impossible!” Luo Yuheng’s face was serious.

The heavenly tribulation destroys everything, if the second grade of the Dao Sect fails to succeed in the tribulation, the Yuan Shen along with the physical body will be destroyed together, leaving nothing behind.

This was the case with the Taoist head of the Human Sect in the last generation.

“I was surprised at first, but it is what it is.” Orange Cat said.

He actually hid one thing from the members of the Tiandi Association, that the head of the Earth Sect’s Dao was not the one who had failed to cross over and become a demon, but rather, in order to cope with the crossing over, he had taken a crooked path and had inadvertently fallen into the demonic path for a moment.

If he had failed to cross the threshold, the Earth Sect Dao Head would have long since turned into ashes.

“After that dry corpse appeared, it mistakenly recognized Xu Qi’an as the Lord and presented the Jade Seal of Transmission that had been guarded for many years ……..”

“Wait!” Luo Yu Heng raised her hand, frowning her delicate brows, “You said he called Xu Qi’an Lord?”

Daoist Master Golden Lotus nodded affirmatively.

The plump and beautiful Luo Yu Heng, who seemed like an earthly creature and a clear and cold fairy, stopped talking and spent more than ten seconds digesting the huge information contained in these words before slowly saying:

“You say that the dry corpse is that Daoist, yet you call Xu Qi’an your lord. Who is his lord, and why did he mistakenly recognize Xu Qi’an as his lord?”

The woman state master’s beautiful eyes stared, unblinking, at the Golden Lotus Taoist Master with a particularly focused expression, converging on her previous cloudy stance.

Obviously, she cared immensely about those few things, or, found something in them.

Daoist Golden Lotus analyzed, “My guess is that the dried corpse is a relic, the true Daoist detached from his shell and remade a new physical body.”

Here is where the Taoist system of cultivation comes into play.

The third grade of Taoism, Yang Shen!

Yang Shen is also called “Dharma Body” in Taoist terminology, and is the prototype of Dharma Form.

The three sects, Heaven, Earth and Man, follow different paths, but the core is the same. Summarized, the steps of cultivation are:

The Yin Spirit is cultivated first, then the Jindan is condensed. When the Yin Spirit fuses with the Jindan, a newborn is born. After the baby grows, it is the Yang Spirit. When the Yang Spirit comes to fruition, it is the Dharma Phase.

That is why it is said that the Yang Shen is the dharma prototype, which is also made into the dharma body.

When Taoist cultivators reached the third grade Yang Shen realm, they could already initially get rid of the shackles of the physical body, and their Yang Shen traveled the heavens and the earth without restriction.

Even if the physical body is annihilated, it only costs a certain amount of money to remake the physical body.

Of course, this didn’t mean that the physical body wasn’t important, quite the contrary, the physical body was the key to stepping into the first grade of Land Deity.

The Yang Shen further metamorphoses into the Dharma phase, and at this time the Dharma phase has to merge with the physical body and revert to unity, and then pass through the heavenly tribulation to complete the qualitative transformation.

The land gods were then born.

“Since he was able to leave behind his remains, it means that the Taoist is not a first grade Land Deity, if that’s the case, how did he get away after the Heavenly Tribulation failed?” Luo Yu Heng frowned.

“So it’s just a guess, and it seems that Senior Sister doesn’t know why.” The orange cat shook her head regretfully.

“If I knew the reason, father wouldn’t have annihilated in the heavenly tribulation.” Luo Yu Heng skimmed his small mouth.

“Makes sense.” The orange cat nodded with a humanized smile:

“Let’s put this matter aside for now, let’s talk about the next piece of information, after the Taoist failed to cross the tribulation, he built a large tomb for himself and ordered his remains to guard a jade seal of transmission, which gathers the qi that he has collected.

“The Taoist told the remains that he would return to take the jade seal on a later date. The relics mistook Xu Qi’an for the Taoist and presented the jade seal with both hands. Guess what happened after that.”

Luo Yu Heng’s heart thumped a few times, her eyes shining brightly as she asked, “Xu Qi An has obtained the Jade Seal of Passage? This is really good news, senior brother, this information of yours is priceless.”

If she could exchange the Jade Seal of Transmission from Xu Qi’an’s hands, she would be able to cultivate with the help of the qi inside and step into the First Grade within a matter of days. She wouldn’t have to worry about dual cultivation with a smelly man.

Promoted to the first rank, free between heaven and earth, with a long lifespan, she no longer had to be some kind of state teacher, no longer had to deal with Emperor Yuan Jing, no longer had to be stuck in the capital.

At this thought, Luo Yu Heng’s heartbeat became more and more violent, and he was breathing rapidly.

Since the establishment of the Human Sect, in the long history, there were as many second grades as there were hairs, while first grades were few and far between. How many outstanding people have been blocked by the heavenly tribulation.

“The jade seal is gone.” Daoist Golden Lotus regretted.

Luo Yu Heng’s expression abruptly stiffened, his breathing stuttered, and he pointedly said: ”The jade seal is gone? Then where is it, left in the tomb, not brought out?

“The mountain range outside Xiangcheng, right? That mountain range, tell me the exact location ……..”

She rose with a flourish and beckoned for her flying sword and duster, letting them hang with her behind. Then, while walking outside, she reached out towards the orange cat and took it into her palm.

Luo Yu Heng couldn’t sit still.

“Sister.”

Golden Lotus Taoist Master’s neck was carried, limbs sagging, a “you can toss me lazily” posture, said: “The jade seal is not in the tomb, you can not find even if you go.”

Luo Yu Heng stopped in her tracks, widened her beautiful eyes, and chastised, “You old Taoist, you won’t be able to say things clearly in one breath. Quickly say, where is the jade seal?”

With a big swing of his sleeve, he knocked the orange cat on its heels.

“Jade Seal Destroyed …….”

The orange cat rushed to add before Luo Yu Heng could get angry, “The inner qi was seized by Xu Qi’an as much as possible.”

Luo Yu Heng, who heard these words, was dumbfounded on the spot.

After a while, Luo Yu Heng returned to the futon in silence, sat down, and muttered, “The qi was all seized by him …….”

“If before, you thought that his qi was insufficient, then now, helping you step into the First Grade should be the nail in the coffin. Of course, who to dual cultivate with, whether to dual cultivate or not, is your own matter, senior sister.”

The orange cat said mildly.

It squatted for a few moments, and seeing Luo Yu Heng frozen in concentration, it couldn’t help but cough and reminded, “I wonder if these two pieces of information, are they worth two Blood Fetus Pills?”

As the words fell, he saw two porcelain bottles fly out of Luo Yu Heng’s sleeve, porcelain white and clear.

The orange cat opened its mouth and swallowed the two porcelain vials into its stomach and put them away, smiling, “Many thanks, senior sister.”

Lightly leaping off the table, erecting his tail and shaking his cat’s butt, he happily scurried into the flower garden and left the Spirit Treasure View.

Luo Yu Heng was like a statue, sitting in a platter for a long time, and suddenly, her long and arched eyelashes fluttered, and the jade beauty came to life.

She raised her arm, her sleeve slipped down, and her white, delicate jade hand twisted the Dao hairpin and gently drew it.

The lotus flower crown rolled off, and the soft green silk lost its restraints and poured down like water.

National colors.

“Master of the State, Master of the State ………”

At this time, the woman who was carrying her skirt and veiled, trotted and rushed in, she stepped over the threshold, saw the green silk like a waterfall, charming and stunning Luo Yu Heng, and suddenly froze.

蒙面女子呆了片刻，指着洛玉衡，‘哦哦哦’的叫道：“你终于想通了，要和元景帝双修了？”

He said, and squeezed his eyebrows in the posture of an old Siji.

Luo Yu Heng’s plain white face, slightly red, orchid fingers twisting the Dao hairpin, gently spinning it in her hair, twisting the hair bun like a trick.

The lotus crown that rolled to the ground was abandoned.

“Looking for me for what?” Luo Yuheng said without moving.

The veiled woman didn’t answer, and walked straight to the table, flipped open an upside-down teacup, poured herself a cup of warm tea, and ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton drank it all up, burping comfortably.

“The royal family received a letter from the border, which said that the King of Zhenbei has already tended to the third rank grand completion, and that at the latest early next year, at the earliest this year, he will be able to reach the peak of the third rank.”

The veiled woman paced back and forth in the quiet room, “Something bad, something bad.”

Luo Yu Heng frowned, “So soon?”

After she mused, she laughed and said, “What’s not good about it, he was promoted to the second rank, your position as the Zhenbei Wangfei, that would be just below the Empress. The concubines and noble consorts in the palace will have to bow down even when they see you.”

“Who cares about those things.” The veiled woman said, suddenly frowning, “By the way, the one who sent the letter back was his vice general, and that coarse martial vice general even asked me about the Buddhist fighting.”

………….

Imperial City.

Xu Qi’an took his lunch at Lin’an Mansion before excusing himself and leaving, mounting his beloved filly and pondering over the gains he had made in Lin’an Mansion.

“Sure enough, chess is still too hard for her, she doesn’t like it much but cherishes the board and pieces we made together …….

“She also liked the Dragon Ao Tian and Zixia books, but seemed a bit disappointed with this installment? Ask her where the writing is bad and she won’t say, she stammers ………

“I held hands with Lin An twice today, once when I taught her how to play chess, and the other time when I pulled her during a boat ride in the back pool, and the experiment proved that as long as I don’t take advantage of her too nakedly, she can accept having physical touch with me appropriately… good sign ah… AUO or above in a relationship is not yet full.

“Steady, steady, for the moment, love is like a carriage, with Prosper inside and me outside. In the near future, love is like a bed, with Pro Anne under me and me inside her.”

Soon, the Mockingbird Yamen was in sight.

“Oro, Oro ……..”

At that moment, a familiar shout came from the entrance to the court house.

Xu Qi’an’s face stiffened as he followed the voice, it was the son of the concierge, Old Zhang.

“How many times have I told you to call me Gongzi outside.” Xu Qi’an criticized in annoyance, then asked:

“What are you doing at the courthouse.”

The underlings brought over from the outer city still maintained their past habits, calling him Da Lang and calling Xu Qi An Er Lang. This reminded Xu Qi’an of his previous life, when he had obviously long since reached adulthood, and his parents still called him by his maiden name, which was particularly humiliating, especially when outsiders were present.

“A girl came to the mansion and said she was looking for you. When asked what her relationship to you was, she wouldn’t say. Just flat out said she was looking for you. Madam asked me to come and shout for you to return to the mansion.” The son of Old Zhang, the concierge, explained:

“But the guards at the courthouse wouldn’t let me in, and said you hadn’t ordered yet today and weren’t at the courthouse, so I had to wait at the door.”

Girl?

Xu Qi’an reviewed the fish he kept in his fish pond, first excluding Chu Caiwei, who was an old customer of the Xu Mansion and came over to play every now and then.

Floating fragrance is also impossible, for no reason she will not pay a visit to the door, and the aunt recognizes Floating fragrance, at that time, love is like a coffin, Xu Bai john in the inside, Floating fragrance debtor in the outside.

It can not be Zhong Li right ……… Xu Qi An thought in his heart and asked, “What are the characteristics of that girl s appearance?”

……………

In a restaurant in the inner city, Zhu Xuanzhi, a student of Yunlu Academy, was drinking with his fellow students and friends.

In addition to the students of Yunlu Academy on the table, there were also a few students from the State Scholarship Academy.

Although Cloud Deer Academy and the State Scholarship Academy had a dispute over the Taoist lineage, and there was indeed mutual hostility and contempt between the scholars on both sides, but it was limited to that.

To really say that there were any unresolvable conflicts, there actually weren’t, after all, the battle for the Taoist system was too distant for ordinary scholars, and in saying that, most of the scholars didn’t even have the chance to become an official. Or can only be a minor official.

It’s easy to sit down and have a drink if one of the parties takes the initiative to befriend and curry favor.

Zhu Xiezhi has been in an extremely bad mood recently, and he has failed the spring exam.

This is no doubt a huge blow to the high-minded and proud Zhu Xuezhi. Especially since Xu Ruixu, who had always been his rival, had even won the high school “Huiyuan”.

The gap between the two is highlighted more and more.

After the release of the results of the spring exams, he and his classmates all day long hanging out in the green house, the Church Department, the restaurant, to drown their sorrows in wine.

“When did he have such poetic talent?”

This doubt always plagued Zhu Xuanzhi, as a fellow student and rival, Xu Ruixu old a few kilograms, he still do not know?

The strategy and scriptures are really first-class, but the poetry is mediocre, Zhu Xuezhi is confident that, in terms of poetry, ten Xu Ruibao is not as good as himself.

“I can’t believe that this year’s chunin exam’s Hui Yuan was actually taken by your Yunlu Academy’s Xu Rui Lao.”

A scholar of the Imperial College lamented: ”This is simply a strange shame for our Imperial College, if it were before, it would not have made a scene.

“But if it’s Xu Rui Lao, then everyone is convinced.”

Another scholar of the State Academy directly shook his head and chanted, “It is difficult to walk the road, it is difficult to walk the road, there are many divergent paths, where are they now? The long wind will break the waves sometimes, hanging straight from the clouds and sailing across the sea.

“Every time I look back on this poem, it stirs up ten thousand feelings of grandeur within me, and any hardship or danger is nothing more than that. Hahaha, drink drink drink.”

The students of Yunlu Academy revealed smiles of triumph, Xu Zhi Lao’s high school “Hui Yuan”, as the students of Yunlu Academy, their faces were doubly honored.

Only Zhu Xiezhi was silent and sullenly drank.

At this time, a young scholar from the State Academy who had not spoken glanced at Zhu Xuanzhi and laughed, “Brother Zhu doesn’t seem too happy?”

Zhu Xiezhi glanced at him, this person’s surname was Liu, a single name with the character Jue, very good at socializing, and did not badmouth the students of Yunlu Academy just because he himself was a student of the State Scholarship Academy.

In the capital young scholars, the network is extremely wide, this person is the same as himself, the spring exam failed.

Zhu Xiezhi did not answer, waved his hand and continued to drink.

Liu Jue did not think, determined to pull Zhu Xuezhi into the conversation, asked: ”Xu Huiyuan has such poetic talent, why was it mediocre before, never heard of it ah?

“Even if one is a genius of great phrases, one’s own poetic attainments won’t be too low if one can occasionally obtain such heirloom masterpieces. But I’ve never heard of a Xu Ruixu in the capital’s poetry scene.”

Zhu Xiezhi “snorted” and drank the wine in his cup, looking disdainful, “Don’t say you haven’t heard of it, I, a student of Yunlu Academy, haven’t heard of it either.”

At these words, the students of the State Academy came to be interested and looked over all of a sudden.

Liu Jue narrowed his eyes, his tone unchanged, and casually asked, “What does Brother Zhu mean by this?”
