When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 417: Heart Demon Bureau
As soon as these words came out.
Wu He, who had just completely relaxed from the overwhelming sword intent, looked at Lian Xie with surprise.
She knew that the Queen Mother was at the sixth rank, but that was two months ago. How could she reach the ninth rank in two months?
Thinking of this, Wu He looked at his father.
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Well, it has reached the ninth level."
The old man reached out and touched the words on the paper: "Your Highness has cultivated the sword intent through practicing calligraphy. You probably haven't learned to be restrained yet, so you can clearly feel the ninth-grade sword intent."
Although he said so, feeling the sword intent on the words, the old man sighed: "It's fine if you enter the sixth rank in one step, but you've reached the ninth rank in less than two months. And this sword intent, the queen's strength must be great."
After that, he looked at Chen Xin and said, "Yan Yunxiao, did you use some tricks?"
But after saying that, the old man shook his head and said, "No, even if that crazy woman Yan Yunxiao used some tricks, it would not be so fast, unless she directly passed on her skills. But even if she did, it would take at least a year or two to completely digest it. And judging from the tip of this brush, it's probably not just a simple sword practice for the queen."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "You can tell so much from the words?"
The old man shook his head: "That's all I can see. And if I hadn't studied this, I wouldn't have been able to see it. But, what's the matter with this talent? Who helped?"
Lian Xiexi really couldn't imagine that a person could reach the sixth level in one step based on his own talent, and then reach the ninth level in just two months.
Chen Xin said, "I asked her too, and she said that she never took action, and at most gave a few suggestions. And to be honest with you, that person and my Aunt Yan didn't intend to let the queen practice martial arts properly at the beginning, they just let her practice for fun, after all, she was of that status. But I didn't expect him to go this far."
After saying that, Chen Xin looked at Lian Xie and said, "Your eyes are so sharp, you must be able to see through all of this little trick of mine. To be honest, if the Queen and I were to fight, I really wouldn't stand a chance of winning."
Lian Xiexi looked at Chen Xin in deep thought for a moment, then said with emotion: "Shocking things happened one after another today. Now that my mood has calmed down, it's good. But I have to say that it's a good thing that you practiced the knife instead of the sword. Otherwise, according to your Taoist theory of destiny, the martial fortune of this generation of swordsmanship would have been taken away by the queen alone. In this way, my grandchildren would become the same as us."
After saying that, Lian Xie Xie smiled twice: "It's just pitiful for those kids who practice swordsmanship, but it's also thanks to your majesty that she lives in the deep palace and doesn't go to the martial arts world. If she goes to the sword-waving competition held in a few days, and if she imitates that crazy woman Yan Yunxiao, it's possible that many swordsmen who practice swordsmanship will really throw away their swords, and the sword-practicing martial arts luck that she has accumulated with great difficulty will become your majesty's."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "My master said that you used to be very dismissive of many things in Taoism and Buddhism."
Lian Xie Xi did not argue, but said frankly: "Although your Taoist martial arts luck is mysterious, it is necessary to believe it. And although I disdain it, it does not mean that I will not learn it. Recently, I have been reading your Taoist [Zhi Bei You] and I was quite touched."
Hearing this, Chen Xin bowed to Lian Xie and said, "Senior, you are externally transformed but not internally transformed. You are worthy of being one of the top ten people in the world."
Lian Xiexi laughed and said, "Stop flattering me. We cannot talk too much about the Majesty's affairs. I know the rules, so let's stop here. This poem was given to us by the Majesty. I accepted it. When the Majesty passes away, I will show it to the disciples. Otherwise, although no one can see the sword intent, there will always be surprises."
Chen Xin chuckled and said, "Then let me tell you about Lian Qiao?"
At the same time, Wu He was still shocked that the Queen was already aware of the ninth rank.
But when he heard that someone was going to talk about his son, he immediately looked at Chen Xin.
Chen Xin naturally explained it again in detail.
but
What comes out of this person's mouth may be authentic, but the process may not be true.
In short, Chen Xin praised himself a lot, saying how tired he was and he almost said that he risked his life.
But just as Chen Xin was speaking, Lian Xinglan came back and happened to hear them talking about his son, so he listened carefully.
And finished listening.
Lian Xinglan asked subconsciously: "Liu Baishi? Isn't that the oiran?"
but.
Wu He didn't care that Lian Xiexi was here at all. He looked at Lian Xinglan and scolded, "What! Do you dislike other girls? When you were chasing after those girls from Miaoyinfang, why didn't you dislike them? Even if they were from brothels, they didn't sell their bodies, they just performed for entertainment. What's the difference between Liu Baishi and the girls from Miaoyinfang! And don't you even look at what your son looks like? The fourth-ranked talented girl on the Rouge List likes your son, so it's your turn to dislike him!"
Lian Xinglan looked at his wife and said, "I didn't say anything. I just thought that Lian Qiao was such a jerk. How could he be favored by an Oiran? He's such an unlucky guy that he could lose his money just by going to a brothel!"
Wu He glared at Lian Xinglan: "How can you say that about your son! Don't force me to beat you in front of your father!"
Lian Xinglan shut up.
Instead, Lian Xie looked at Wu He and asked, "Is the one called Liu Baishi ranked fourth on the Rouge List now?"
Wu He nodded.
Lian Xiexi frowned and looked at Chen Xin: "The fourth person on the Rouge List fell in love with Lian Qiao? Did you drug the girl?"
Chen Xin was about to speak when he saw Lian Xinglan and Wu Heqi looking at him with questioning expressions.
For a moment, Chen Xin felt that his little brother Lian Qiao's daily life at home was absolutely pitiful.
Chen Xin said: "When a turtle and a mung bean fall in love, no one can stop them."
Lian Xinglan and Wu He looked at each other, still unable to believe it.
Instead, Lian Xiexi was silent for a moment and then said, "Forget it, no matter what, success or failure, the child's future inner demon game will be the six desires game, and there are some things that he must experience."
After that, he glanced at Wu He's expression and said, "The sword lotus has bloomed. The two of you should go to the capital and deliver the sword lotus to their siblings."
Hearing this, Wu He's face was overjoyed, knowing that her father saw that she was worried, so he asked her to go and take a look.
But Wu He immediately thought of Lian Wei and looked at Chen Xin: "Master, may I ask about Lian Wei's child?"
Chen Xin heard this and said immediately, "What Sister Lian Wei has found is even more amazing. It's Su Linhan, a newly-appointed Jinshi, the younger sister of the Empress. She is a talented lady with a wealth of knowledge and is also very pretty. Her temperament is as elegant as green bamboo after rain, pure and graceful!"
Upon hearing this, Lian Xinglan's face lit up, and he was obviously very satisfied.
Wu He frowned and sighed: "That kid, he found a girl after all. In the past, I rarely saw her talking to male disciples. She only talked to female disciples. Many female disciples also liked her. Alas..."
Upon hearing this, Lian Xinglan said immediately, "My daughter has found a talented woman! Great! And the Su family is so great. We need to discuss what to bring to Beijing this time. We can't be impolite and embarrass our daughter."
Wu He glared at Lian Xinglan.
Lian Xinglan shut up again, but looked very happy, and didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl.
Lian Xie smiled and shook his head. It was okay for Liu Baishi. Although he was born in a brothel, he was of innocent character. People in the martial arts world didn't care about such things.
But Su Linhan.
Wouldn't this make the Tianzhi Pavilion and the imperial court even more tied together?
but
Lian Xiexi didn't think about this. Instead, he glanced at Chen Xin, who was very satisfied, and said, "Send a sword lotus to each of the three people from Hao Fang. Then Xinglan, you can select three sword techniques suitable for the younger generations in their families from the library and give them to them. Tell them that it is not easy to have a sword embryo. Cultivate them well. If they encounter shackles, they can come to Tianzhi Pavilion."
When Lian Xinglan heard this, he immediately clasped his fists, but after looking at his father's expression, he immediately understood what he meant. After looking at Wu He, he said, "The two of us will do this first."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Xin and clasped his fists.
Chen Xin naturally returned the gift.
When the two of them left, Lian Xiexi got straight to the point and asked, "Is your master willing to let you go through this fourth enlightenment and third level of the inner demon situation?"
Hearing this, Chen Xin rubbed his hands, and then looked at the old man in front of him who seemed to be able to see everything: "How did you see that? Considering that you and my master have been friends for many years, can you teach me?"
Lian Xiexi said, "The lady's face is so clear, but her heart is disturbed, and her heart is so peaceful, but she wants to lead it. It's exactly the same as your dead uncle. Only a fool can't see it."
Chen Xin chuckled and did not deny it.
Lian Xiexi looked at Chen Xin and said, "With your talent, if you don't take this path and only take the path of the end of the thunder tribulation in your Tianshi Mansion, your achievements will not be lower than your senior brother. Moreover, if you can calm down, it is not impossible to surpass your master. Do you have to take this path?"
Chen Xin smiled and said, "I don't want to either, but after passing this Heart Demon Game, I can become stronger."
Four levels of enlightenment.
"The mind has no mind", "the form has no form", "the thing has no thing", "only what is seen is emptiness".
Four enlightenments.
The third level refers to the triple demonic situation.
This is the end of the road that Chen Xin wants to take.
Once you start, there is no turning back.
And first of all, we must achieve "no mind".
This is what is called "let go of desires and the mind will be calm, clear the mind and the spirit will be pure."
Let your heart be completely calm and not be disturbed by any external worldly interference, so Chen Xin's trip down the mountain is to avert disaster.
Resolving some of the causes and effects that could be cut off in the capital city was a way to avert disaster.
To end something and bear the consequences is to avert disaster.
As for the worldly affairs that you are involved in, after you have done your best to deal with them, the matter will be over. Just stop thinking about it and that is it.
but
Tao follows nature. If some things cannot be resolved or finished, just let nature take its course.
Such is the state of being a member of the royal family.
This is especially true for Su Jiuer's case.
Don’t think about getting rid of these things, but let nature take its course, follow your heart, without any other distractions, and slowly your mind will become calm.
Lian Xiexi looked at Chen Xin and said, "Are you planning to risk your life to succeed, and then defend Daxia?"
Chen Xin chuckled: "What do you think will happen to your strength after you pass the first level? My master said that after my uncle passed the first level of the Heart Demon Game, he was able to tie with you."
Lian Xiexi shook his head: "It's not a draw, you can't beat me. But that's because your uncle gave up the thunder method because of this inner demon situation. But you."
At this point, Lian Xiexi didn't say much, and changed the topic to say: "Forget it, just choose your own path. But I can tell you that your Longhu Mountain's 'Four Enlightenment Three Stages' is as famous as the Buddhist 'Three Phases of Heart Demon Becoming a Buddha on the Spot', and it is extremely difficult to overcome. Don't gamble your life for the future of Daxia. I still say that if you follow the path of thunder magic, your achievements will not be lower than your master, and you can also protect Daxia."
The Devil's Heart
It is a process that must be overcome to enter the state of destination.
But it is also what determines the level of future achievements.
The inner demon situation is related to one's own talent, the skills one practices, the state of mind one has cultivated, and even more so, one's own strength.
In short, it is closely related to everything.
However, the inner demon game tests one’s state of mind, which is crucial.
This is the reason why so many people with extraordinary talents are trapped in the trap of inner demons and unable to reach the ultimate state.
There are also many masters who have reached the limit and can never make another step forward in their entire lives, because although the inner demon situation seems to have been overcome, their state of mind has been damaged.
Some of the mental traps are paths created by our ancestors, and later generations can enter, but it is hard to say whether they can pass them.
The four enlightenments and three levels are the inner demon situation created by the founder of the Longhu Mountain.
According to the records of Mount Longhu, no one has ever passed this path, and even the founder of the religion is not known whether he took this path.
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Thunder magic cannot defend Da Xia."
Lian Xie looked at Chen Xin and said, "What if he dies?"
Chen Xin said, "If I die, I die. Now that I'm in the game, I can't go back. Besides, it's a good opportunity to see how difficult the road is. So many of our ancestors died in Longhu Mountain, and they all shouted the slogan that there will always be successors, just waiting for someone to pass."
Lian Xie looked at Chen Xin and said, "Your master should have told you that this path may not work."
Chen Xin grinned and said, "Hehe, let's go and see. If this path doesn't work, I'll just leave it at that so as not to mislead those who come after me."
Lian Xie looked at Chen Xin and said, "In that case, we in Tianzhi Pavilion will not owe you a favor. When the child of Twin Lotus comes, I will give it to her personally. And this favor of yours will be counted as what we owe to His Majesty and His Majesty. Although they are just martial arts sects, I still understand some of the actions of Tubo and Shu. I will take action when the time comes."
Chen Xin immediately bowed his head: "Senior, your righteousness is great!"
Lian Xiexi said, "In that case, it's almost time to get down the mountain. You have nothing to do with my Tianzhi Pavilion. I'll let you go with that... Well, since we've said it, it's already a cause and effect. This matter is my fault. I will compensate the child when the time comes. You can rest assured."
Chen Xin bowed his head again, then smiled and said, "It's just a message, it's really nothing."
But Lian Xie didn't say anything, but stood up and left.
Don’t talk too much to someone who is already in the trap of inner demons, especially Chen Xin’s inner demon trap.
Chen Xin bowed again and saw the senior off.
then
Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and looked at the pure white lotus in the sword pool. After smiling, he stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the mountains.
I could not help but recite softly: "All living things have no roots, floating like dust on the roadside."
When this sentence was recited, there were the sounds of monkeys howling in the woods and mountains, followed by the sound of birds flying out.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xin smiled and recited the next sentence: "A lonely person travels alone, it is cold at high places."
In order to protect you and Da Xia, my elder brother did not hesitate to use himself to test the Gu in order to gain power.
How could I, your second brother, be reluctant to give up my life?
Thinking of this, Chen Xin clapped himself, then looked back and saw that there was no one around, which felt a bit regretful.
Otherwise, he would feel that his posturing was quite impressive.
…
Meanwhile.
He had just gotten on a carriage that had entered Chenzhou.
Su Changan sat in the carriage, looking at Xia Fengxiang who was sleeping in his arms, or to be more precise, looking at his wife's little upturned nose.
How to say it
He wanted to do something shameless.
