Chapter 253 Enlightenment

After chatting with Huang Ying, it was already dark, so Chen Luo stayed temporarily in the guest room next door.

Wuwei Zhenren on the mountain was still in seclusion, and the ancestor on the main peak Shenhu Peak didn't know what was going on. The ten main peaks were all shrouded in the aura of Jindan, which made Chen Luo temporarily postpone the idea of ​​entering the mountain. The current Shenhu Xianmen gave him a very strange feeling. The expected chaos did not happen, and even the Yangshi Sect and Jiudu Valley did not send anyone to test it.

There was a strange atmosphere throughout the sect.

night.

Huang Ying sat in the room, holding the foundation-building pill that Chen Luo gave her, and swallowed the pill with one gritted teeth.

Build foundation!

She had accumulated it for several years, and now that she had the foundation-building pill, she naturally had to make a concerted effort. As long as she passed this level, she would be a foundation-building cultivator, and then she would be at the same level as her senior brother.

The pill melts as soon as it enters the stomach.

Huang Ying closed her eyes, and the spiritual energy around her body began to fluctuate rapidly. The spiritual energy of the Perfect Realm changed rapidly, and the little spiritual snake transformed little by little under the effect of the Foundation Building Pill, slowly evolving towards the direction of the spiritual dragon. The Soul Art was mobilized to the limit under Huang Ying's operation, and her body also changed, starting to change from a mortal body to a foundation building spiritual body. As long as she completed this step, she would be a foundation building cultivator and live for 500 years.

As time passed, Huang Ying's spiritual power soon transformed by one third, but she began to lose strength after this step. She quickly took out the Qi and Blood Pill she had prepared and swallowed it. Under the effect of the pill, the speed of Qi and Blood circulation increased again, but soon, the speed of this increase slowed down again.

External forces have lost their effect.

Burning life!

Huang Ying gritted her teeth and made a decision immediately. This was also a step that all foundation-building cultivators would face. It was impossible to reach the heavens in one step by relying solely on external forces, unless one was cursed like Wang Tianji and others, and had something parasitic on the body. But that was not one's own power, and building the foundation was useless, it would only make oneself die faster.

As Huang Ying's lifespan was consumed, his strength increased rapidly.

Seventh and eighth floors.

It was not until the ninth level that the speed suddenly slowed down. As his life force burned away, Huang Ying's hair turned into silver threads, wrinkles appeared on his face, and he began to look old.

Death began to appear.

Strangely, Huang Ying suddenly opened her eyes at this time, and she looked at her hands with joy, as if what she saw was not a pair of withered hands covered with age spots.

"I succeeded, I finally caught up with my senior brother!"

Like all the foundation-building monks who were trying to break through, Huang Ying also fell into an illusion.

Every year, there are many disciples in the Qi Refining Realm of Shenhu Xianmen, but only one person succeeds in building a foundation in more than 20 years. The one before him is Chen Luo. This shows the probability of success in building a foundation. Although Huang Ying's aptitude is good, it is far from the level of Chen Luo's cheating, so she, like all the foundation-building cultivators who are trying to break through, has gone astray.

"I'm too impatient."

A figure appeared silently in the room. It was Chen Luo.

He extended his index finger, and the power of the Heart Demon Art gathered into a point of light, which he pointed at Huang Ying's brow.

Simple streets.

Unlike Elder Rong Ling's inner demon tribulation, this place was more like a dream. The area was very small, about the size of a county town, and the outside was all foggy. Looking closely, even the faces of the people passing by were a little hazy.

"My dear, this journey is long, you must be careful and don't get into arguments with others on the way."

Hearing the voice, Chen Luo turned around and found himself standing at the gate of a small courtyard. Huang Ying, dressed in plain clothes, was standing at the gate, looking at him reluctantly.

Chen Luo glanced down and found that his clothes had also changed into the Confucian robes of a scholar. He wore a square scarf on his head and looked very high-spirited.

This is the him in Huang Ying's fantasy.

Chen Luo also didn't expect that he would be Huang Ying's calamity.

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Chen Luo hoped that Huang Ying could keep her original intention. If she couldn't, he couldn't help her even if he came in. This was only the second time Chen Luo had used the Heart Demon Art, and he still didn't understand many things.

The greatest effect of the inspiration he pointed out was to protect Huang Yingdu's original intention and have a subtle influence on her.

"Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of father."

A voice sounded nearby, Chen Luo looked down and found that he was holding an eight or nine-year-old child in his hand. The child was also dressed in a Confucian robe like him, and looked like a scholar.

After saying goodbye, Chen Luo took the children and the dry food handed to him by Huang Ying and left his hometown in a carriage.

Leave the county.

The fog gathered around them, the scene outside was blurry, the carriage and the children around them became numb. The time outside seemed to have been accelerated, and it was moving very fast.

Half a year in a blink of an eye.

When Chen Luo could see the world around him clearly again, before he could figure out what was going on, the sound of gongs was heard.

"The foreigners moved south, the north was lost, and the emperor was lost."

A large number of defeated soldiers retreated into the city, and countless scenes flashed by in the world like a passing tour.

"Dad! Mom is still in Jicheng!!"

The child next to them had a worried look on his face and pulled Chen Luo to run back, but before the father and son could go out, the door was blocked.

The new emperor ascended the throne, established a country and proclaimed himself emperor.

The nomadic peoples in the north established their own regime and eyed the south covetously.

The occupied northern land became the territory of the new dynasty, and the former county town became the new capital. The Hu nobles took over and established a new court. These did not have much impact on the lives of the people in the occupied areas. They were too humble, as humble as ants. No one would care about them, and they did not exist in history books.

This group of "non-existent" people only have daily necessities in their lives.

A matchmaker carrying a fruit basket came to the door and said to Huang Ying with a happy face.

"Miss Huang, what a happy occasion! As long as you open your mouth, this matter will be settled. From now on, you will be rich and prosperous and enjoy endless enjoyment."

Huang Ying, who was washing clothes in the yard, wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked over with confusion on her face.

"Wang Po, what's the good news?"

"Prince Wanyan has taken a liking to you. As long as you agree, you can immediately live in the mansion and lead a wealthy life."

The matchmaker, who had received the bribe, praised the prince to the highest level. It was because the prince was infatuated, otherwise the matchmaker would have kidnapped him long ago, and there would be no need for such a complicated arrangement.

"shut up!"

Huang Ying scolded the matchmaker before she finished listening. Her face was cold, and she picked up the washing stick beside her and tried to chase her away.

"I am already a married woman, how can I allow you to humiliate me!"

"Oh, girl! Such overwhelming wealth is right before your eyes, how can you be dazzled by it?"

The matchmaker was so frightened that she retreated to the door, her face full of anxiety.

"You are still young, so don't choose the wrong path. There is chaos and turmoil outside, and your wife might have already passed away."

"roll!"

Huang Ying grabbed the stick in her hand and threw it at Wang Po. The matchmaker had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she overturned the fruit basket in her hand. The red fruits rolled to the ground and she fled in panic. Standing at the door, the matchmaker, who had recovered from her shock, cursed angrily, but Huang Ying ignored her and walked up to fasten the bolt on the door.

far away.

Chen Luo, who had just settled down, raised his head. His consciousness transcended the distance and saw the choice made by Huang Ying over there. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

'good.'

After Huang Ying made this choice, the world became much clearer, which meant that Huang Ying's soul was getting stronger. The speed at which Huang Ying's lifespan burned out in the outside world slowed down, and her spiritual power increased a lot.

Faced with the choice between glory and her true heart, Huang Ying decisively chose her true heart.

As the husband in the dream, Chen Luo also absorbed some benefits.

The fog deepened again, and another three years passed in a flash.

Three years later, Chen Luo became an official and began to inquire about the news of his wife in the north. His son also grew up and started looking for his mother like him. Compared with the life of the father and son, Huang Ying's life became clearer.

She seemed to have really become a person of this world.

In order to support herself, she guarded the courtyard and did all kinds of dirty and tiring work. Because she rejected Prince Wanyan, the Hu soldiers began to trouble her every now and then. For three years, Huang Ying lived a very hard life and became increasingly thin, but her eyes were as bright as stars and never wavered.

Squeak

He pushed the door open again.

Huang Ying raised her head and looked at the matchmaker who walked in from outside. This time, a group of Hu soldiers followed her in.

The soldiers were divided into two rows, each carrying five large boxes.

"The prince has already issued an order to marry you on the fifteenth of next month."

Wang Po stood by, her face full of smiles. She had been working on this matter for the past three years, and now that the prince had made up his mind, she could receive her reward.

The prince finally lost his patience with Huang Ying and prepared to overwhelm her with force.

After sending out the wedding invitations, the matchmaker turned around and left with a group of people.

Huang Ying put down her work and walked over to open the boxes on both sides. They were full of silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry. These precious things could make a person worry-free for the rest of his life. Ten boxes full of them showed how wealthy the prince was.

"Power? Unless I die!"

Looking at the things in the box, Huang Ying's eyes flashed with disgust. She picked up the silk, gold and silver inside and threw them directly out the door.

After doing this, she closed the door again and walked back to the yard to wash her clothes.

Although life is hard, it is clean.

Second choice.

A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face. He knew Huang Ying should be waking up soon.

Time accelerated again, and five years passed in a flash.

Huang Ying in the yard had wrinkles on her face and her hands became rough. She was no longer as pretty as before and had aged.

Bang!

Wang Po came in again, this time holding a piece of paper in her hand.

"There is news about Chen Jia Dalang."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Ying stopped her action of chasing people away. She quickly stepped forward, snatched the paper from Wang Po's hand, and read what was written on it.

"The Chen family father and son were able to enter the Southern Court, and both were given honorary titles, and the Southern Emperor granted them marriage."

When Huang Ying saw the last message, her eyes darkened.

She persisted for so many years, but this is the result.

"You are just stupid. You just wait every day to be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, while others have three wives and four concubines over there. I don't know how carefree their lives are."

Huang Ying looked at the letter in her hand, suddenly calmed down, rolled up the letter and put it away.

"Miss, have you thought it through? As long as you agree, the prince is still willing to marry you."

"go out!"

Huang Ying raised her head, and the expression on her face became firm again.

"you!!"

Wang Po was stunned and immediately became furious.

"I told you to get out!"

"I want to see how you die!"

After leaving a few words, Wang Po slammed the door and walked out.

With the third choice confirmed, the traces of burning life on Huang Ying's body completely faded. Chen Luo's previous falling state was pulled back by the Heart Magic Technique. The spiritual snakes gathered together and officially transformed into spiritual dragons, and the aura of foundation building dissipated.

Just one click and your life will be transformed.

This method is similar to the legendary "immortal pointing the way", which can be called "enlightenment".
