Chapter 166 How many children do you want to have?
There are thousands of things in the world, with endless mysteries, which cannot be fully understood by human power.
However, if you can understand one or two of them, you will have the ability to know everything.
Friction generates electricity, accumulation explodes like thunder, convection becomes wind, and condensation of gas turns into rain.
Therefore, the higher the realm, the more it can shake the world, until the breeze blows around your fingers with a wave of your hand, while the wind and clouds suddenly change a hundred miles away.
Ji You was in a state of spiritual concentration, with nothing in his mind. His heart was clear and he began to guide the spiritual energy to collide with each other. He kept trying, and the energy waves around him rose and fell from time to time.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seems to be an omnipotent element that can be transformed according to the cultivator's thoughts and support different techniques."
“So, this is why everyone thinks that the power of heaven and earth is hidden in the spiritual energy.”
"If a fire is lit, spiritual energy is the fuel; if ice is formed, spiritual energy can become water... But how to mobilize the power of the law is the key to the human race's mastery of magic."
Ji You muttered to himself, and suddenly began to understand what spiritual energy meant to this world where one could cultivate immortality.
This elemental energy is the basis for cultivators to obtain heavenly power.
The divine mind is inherently close to the way of heaven and is not restricted by reality. In this world, whatever he thinks about can be gained, so the cultivation of immortals emphasizes meditation and enlightenment.
However, what the gods think is ultimately just false imagination.
People need to use their spiritual thoughts to observe the laws of nature, break through the barriers between thinking and reality, use spiritual energy as the foundation and magic as the channel, and transform their thoughts into real objects through magic, so that all the laws can be added to their bodies.
Ji Hanfei, who was in the Tongxuan realm, began to have a superficial understanding of cultivating immortals.
As a result, the whole body was filled with energy.
Hmm? A nice scent?
Who dangles food in front of me.
Ji You muttered in a dark tone, and continued to guide the spiritual energy in his subconscious while entering a state of meditation, transforming it back and forth into different forms. There were loud roars of wind and thunder, and the sound of waves was endless.
At this moment, the celestial phenomena driven by thoughts continued to collide with each other, forming a trend in front of them, becoming more and more dense and surging.
But after the emergence of several celestial phenomena, the flow of elements began to become extremely chaotic.
Then they influenced and attracted each other, and not long after, there was a loud bang, and the tangled false sky suddenly collapsed.
Ji You was silent for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes.
Really, enlightenment cannot be rushed.
His expression was calm when he opened his eyes, but now they trembled slightly and he soon couldn't help but be stunned.
"?"
The Little Master of Lingjian Mountain was sitting sideways on a high rock next to him at this time, looking absolutely beautiful and cold in a daze, with a kind of restless impatience between her brows.
The long snow-white legs were resting on the edge of the stone, and because of the height difference where they were sitting, the pair of delicate jade feet swayed in front of him, and the ten round and smooth toes were like blooming petals, crystal clear.
Ji You held his breath and finally understood why he smelled the aroma of food just now...
Yan Shuyi also felt the convergence of Ji You's energy waves at this time. Her feet stopped shaking instantly, and her slender waist straightened involuntarily. She squinted her eyes and began to look intimidating without anger, like an iceberg beauty, but a thick pink mist floated around her uncontrollably.
"You broke through so quickly?" Ji You was a little surprised.
Yan Shuyi did not look back at him, but stared ahead and said coldly, "Not yet."
The voice is very pinched, and two and a half of the three words are in a wailing tone.
Ji You stared at her for a long time: "Didn't you say you won't come out until you break through the realm?"
"My mind couldn't be at peace. I always felt something moving outside the door. I ran out to check, but found nothing. After I came back and finally calmed down, I heard something moving again. I didn't know what went wrong, so I came in to relax. I didn't expect to meet you."
Yan Shuyi has been practicing seclusion to break through the realm since he was a child, and it has always been very successful.
But recently, things have started to become a little difficult.
She felt that someone was disturbing her, and the first person she suspected was Ding Yao, who gave her a good scolding and told her not to move around in the hall on weekdays. But Ding Yao felt very innocent and felt as if she was being blamed by someone.
Ji You looked at him thoughtfully: "When did your symptoms start?"
Yan Shuyi was silent for a moment, as if realizing something: "About seven days ago."
Seven days ago, Qingyuntianxia began to collect taxes, and Ji You returned to Tianshuyuan at that time. This news was no secret.
So it is not the wind that is moving, nor the clouds that are moving, but the heart that is moving.
He had been in Fengzhou before and could not come to Xuwu Mountain to attain enlightenment. For Yan Shuyi, even if he wanted to kick him a few times, he couldn't reach him.
But since he knew that he had returned to Tianshuyuan, Master Jian's mood has been drastically different.
I want to see you, but I wrote to you in a domineering manner before and said that I would not see you.
Her little mouth was a little hard, so she insisted that it was Ding Yao who was running around outside her hall, making her unable to concentrate.
But in fact, she just missed the handsome man and kept thinking about running over to kiss him.
Ji You was like an experienced Chinese doctor who could identify the cause of the disease at a glance.
Beauty brings disaster...
With such an outstanding appearance, the young master of Lingjian Mountain cannot concentrate on her enlightenment, which will slow down her practice. In the future, it may trigger internal strife in Lingjian Mountain, causing unrest among the seven major immortal sects, and even indirectly affecting the world situation.
Although Ji You often criticized himself with the words "beauty is a disaster", it was only at this moment that he deeply realized the power of these four words.
Damn this mediocre Ji Bochang!
It turns out that just by using her appearance, she can cause unrest in the world.
Seeing that he remained silent, Yan Shuyi didn't want him to think that he was distracted by him, so he immediately changed the subject and began to ask him questions about the Qiu Dou in Tianshuyuan.
Chu He was passed down the [Hun Tian Technique] from his family, which protected his body with mysterious magic, and the power of his fists and swords was extremely terrifying.
Yan Shuyi found it strange that even so, he could only beat Ji You's broad and huge, smooth as jade, hot body covered with sweat until it turned red.
As early as when she was in Lingjian Mountain, she knew that this strange man was physically strong, but she didn't know how he cultivated it.
Ji You didn't pay attention to Yan Shuyi's question. Instead, he looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean by smooth and wide, covered with sweat, and hot? Weren't you in seclusion at the time? How do you know so much?"
Yan Shu was slightly startled after hearing this, then he held his breath and looked away.
It was true that she was in seclusion, but she sent her best painters and writers to look at it, and now there was a painting of a strange man with his bare chest hidden under her pillow.
But she wouldn't tell him.
The young master's eyes wandered, and he said calmly: "I also heard it from others."
"Who said that? It's so detailed."
"I said it was someone else!"
Ji You slowly raised his head and looked at the sky above Yan Shuyi's head.
Ever since he opened his eyes, he noticed that there was a pink gas floating up around Yan Shuyi, which was thicker than ever before.
Although she didn't say it, she must have missed me terribly after not seeing me for a long time.
But at this moment, the pink gas was changing. First, it was floating and yellow, and then it became thick smoke, like a yellow dragon, which shocked him.
Ji You recalled the fiery looks of the female cultivators in the courtyard when Chu He shattered his white robe and exposed his chest on the white jade stage. He turned to look at Xiao Jianzhu.
"Did you come to see me secretly?!"
"I don't!"
Yan Shuyi felt a little annoyed by his questioning. She raised her crystal-clear jade feet and wanted to kick him, but she felt that kicking him would show her anger and shame, which would prove that she was lying. So she hesitated for a moment and then put her raised foot in his arms.
Ji You took a look and stopped asking immediately.
People even used their feet as bribes, which was obviously meant to shut him up and stop him from asking any more questions.
"It's a bit cold."
Yan Shuyi's feet were being played with, and his face turned red: "It has always been like this."
Ji You pinched her twice, and then Yan Shuyi suddenly said, "You haven't told me about the physical matter yet."
"Next time you travel to Shengjing and happen to meet me, I will tell you."
"Then tell me about Fengzhou."
"Toyosu?"
"The family you built."
After hearing this, Ji You began to recount their journey from Shengjing to Fengzhou, and then from Yuyang County to Fengzhou Prefecture.
The focus of this matter is the battle at Yecheng Mountain, but Ji You only mentioned it briefly, mainly describing his own village and introducing him to several people currently in the village.
Old Qiu's family, Mr. Chen who teaches, and the children who are under his protection.
In addition, he also talked about Crescent Moon Sabre and Combined Harvester.
Yan Shuyi listened carefully, and images flashed through his mind little by little, making him want to go.
"When I established my family, Cao Jinsong told me that if a family wanted to grow, it had to first form alliances with the outside world and second, continue to grow its population. He also said that the most important thing for a family to survive in the world was to have children, so he suggested that I immediately find a woman to start a long-lasting family."
"?"
Yan Shuyi turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Ji You held his head high and chest puffed out, not feeling guilty at all. After all, this was all said by Cao Jinsong, and he was just repeating it: "I think what Lao Cao said makes sense."
The little master was silent for a long time before saying, "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing, just sharing. I used to think that one man and one sword could conquer the world, but I gradually began to realize that the power of one person is limited. It seems that only a family that continues to grow and prosper can stand firm."
Ji You didn't dare to make the map of Yan State too short, so he continued to lay the groundwork and pretended to be emotional when he finished speaking, but he found that Yan Shuyi was just looking at him without saying a word.
That look was filled with sword intent.
After a long silence, Ji You suddenly spoke: "What do you think?"
Yan Shuyi held his breath: "What do I feel?"
"Eternal life."
"don't know."
Ji You swallowed his saliva: "I mean, how many children do you want to have?"
As soon as the words fell, all the laws and principles on the mountain began to become restless, and the yellow-pink aura suddenly turned into a cold tone.
Seeing this scene, Ji You knew it was all over, as the map of Yan State was still too short after all.
Then, from the cliff, a fierce energy came roaring.
Ji You flew back with his palm shaken, and saw Yan Shu approaching with a roar. His white and tender little hands were full of tremendous force, like splitting a mountain, and the whole person was pressed down with a bang.
In Yingtian Realm, even without using swordsmanship and magic, the palm power alone made Ji You feel a great terror.
Amid the flying air waves, Ji Youli took the palm strike and then took advantage of the momentum to fly out sideways.
Yan Shuyi blinked slightly at this scene, and the cold aura around him began to turn pink again.
The strange man is quite powerful.
They all came here through their spiritual thoughts. Although they didn't know why they could gather in this space, the only certain thing was that the strength of the physical body was useless here.
After the palm strike, Yan Shuyi discovered that his spiritual power had also become extremely powerful.
Even, it is comparable to Rong Dao.
"Stop, I can't beat you."
Yan Shuyi suddenly stopped and looked at him with a stern face: "A little Tongxuan realm."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ji You stood up from the smoke and dust at this time: "I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"Go back and continue practicing. I can't always be outclassed by you."
When Yan Shuyi heard this, the atmosphere around him suddenly began to turn cold again, even colder than before.
Ji Youxin asked, what’s going on? Can’t I just leave?
Then she was seen flying over, her palms slapping like the wind, and her swaying figure was really like a fairy descending to the earth.
After a while, the aura on the Void Mountain gradually subsided. There was no strong wind like before, but instead it was extremely peaceful.
At this time, Ji You was hugging Yan Shuyi's slender waist, looking down at the fairy in his arms with his eyes closed and breathing evenly.
It turned out that she wasn't forcing him to leave, but was blaming him for not coming to hug her when they met this time.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain was also extremely arrogant. He would not speak directly when he had something to say, but had to act like he was going to hit him, and then accidentally let the boy fall into his arms.
But, did she touch it? Ji You recalled the sudden palm strike just now, which was fierce but suddenly changed its direction, and seemed to have touched his chest twice.
Yan Shuyi was just dozing at this time, with a small slit in his eyes, and then he looked at his lower abdomen.
This strange man, whom I had only met three times, wanted me to give him endless life. He was so bold that it seemed like he didn't even want to live anymore.
Her heart was filled with murderous intent, but her feet resting on the edge of the cliff couldn't help but curl up slightly.
After a long time, Yan Shuyi suddenly sat up straight: "I feel that my heart has calmed down. I will go back to break through the realm. Don't bother me anymore. If I don't enter the boundless realm, I will not come again."
"Women in this world really are all ungrateful and ungrateful..."
Yan Shuyi tapped his toes lightly and disappeared into the Void Mountain, and in a flash he returned to his bedroom in Lingjian Mountain.
I forgot to ask him what Yuan Caiwei had watched...
The young master suddenly remembered something he had been talking about for a long time and felt a little confused.
At this time, Ji You had begun to observe the Tao again, and the aura around him was constantly surging.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes slightly stunned.
It’s broken. It turns out that distracting thoughts don’t disappear, they just move away…
In the following days, Ji You often came to Xuwu Mountain to seek enlightenment, but he did not see the arrogant fairy again. He knew that after that meeting, her Taoist heart had calmed down.
He felt that Yan Shuyi was probably the same type of person as himself, and that he had also taken on some responsibilities, so he hoped to become stronger, but he always felt that time was not enough.
See you next time. I’m afraid I really have to wait until I break through.
He stood up and walked down the mountain.
At this time, in the outer courtyard enlightenment field, Fang Jincheng, Puyang Xing, Lu Hanyan and other disciples were all gaining enlightenment, with medicine bottles and spirit stones that had lost their luster piled in front of them.
There were countless people standing around, including some inner court disciples, who had their brows slightly frowned.
This scene attracted even more attention than Ji You's comprehension of the Heavenly Book.
As for the reason, it is because of Fang Chengjin.
The Fang family is also a big family in the world, but it is not as famous as the Chu family.
However, the Chu family has always been tied to the Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion, and its foundation in Tianshuyuan is not as deep as that of the Fang family.
So when everyone was comprehending the Heavenly Book, Chu He only relied on his relationship with King Chong to get guidance on comprehending the Heavenly Book from Ban Yangshu, but Fang Jincheng was different.
Since he entered the academy, students from the inner courtyard of Changsheng Hall would come to the outer courtyard from time to time to provide personal guidance.
Although the way of heaven is mysterious and can only be understood but not expressed in words, and there will certainly be some deviations in the process of passing it on by word of mouth, it is ultimately a direction to strive for.
So within just half a month, six inner court disciples shared their experiences with Fang Jincheng in detail.
But even so, Fang Jincheng still did not comprehend the heavenly book.
Everyone in the inner and outer courtyards knew that the eldest son of the Fang family had boasted on the day he was admitted, saying that he saw a faint light when he first comprehended the heavenly book, which surprised everyone at the time.
Because during these hundred years, the person who was the fastest from admission to comprehending the Heavenly Book was Ji You.
At that time, everyone was saying that Fang Jincheng would be faster than Ji You, which meant that he would achieve greater success in the future.
But as time went by, everyone suddenly realized that this was just empty talk.
So at this moment Fang Jincheng looked extremely ugly.
He knew that he had benefited from the influence of his ancestors and would receive guidance from a large number of fellow brothers in the inner courtyard. He asked himself that it would not be difficult to comprehend the Heavenly Book, but this was not the case.
Puyang Xing, who chose not to comprehend the Heavenly Book from the very beginning and rushed directly into the realm, had already gathered the first ray of mysterious light, and Lu Hanyan followed closely behind him.
"Could it be that Fang Jincheng's cultivation is all due to the accumulation of elixirs, but he is actually very stupid?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to cultivate to perfection in the lower three realms. Maybe he just has no destiny with the Heavenly Book."
"But, in the second year of Taiwu and the early years of Taiwu, it seems that no one has comprehended the Heavenly Book."
"Is there such a thing?"
“Yes, Junior Brother Pan, who entered the academy in the second year of Taiwu, broke into Tongxuan with his own strength.”
"And Junior Brother Liu, not only did he not sense the Heavenly Book, but he also entered the academy the following year. Because the students of that year were unable to enter the Tongxuan realm, Junior Brother Liu was already in the Tongxuan middle realm at that time."
"I heard that no one has been able to comprehend the Dao Monument of the Chen Immortal Clan for two consecutive years."
"Where is Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion?"
"The headmaster of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion has been in seclusion for many years. He tried to ascend to the immortal world with the Xuanyuan Pearl, but he couldn't sense it."
"Tell me, could it be that the destiny of heaven is really gradually dissipating? Otherwise, the demon race..."
"Nonsense, it's obviously because of his lack of talent. Otherwise, why can Ji You sense the Heavenly Book? Although he is not a good person, his talent is indeed beyond doubt..."
Ji You watched for a while and couldn't help shaking his head.
Over the past few days, the attitude of the Hall of Longevity towards him has softened a lot, and many inner court disciples have come to give him some spiritual wine and other things.
What he said was that he hoped he could give Fang Jincheng some guidance.
But everyone said that to comprehend the heavenly book, one must see a glimmer of light, and then chase the light, but what he saw was a sea of stars rushing towards him. How can this be explained? So Ji You was too lazy to bother, and let the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard say whatever they wanted.
The children of noble families are all the same, eating the fat of the people and seeking the mysterious way to immortality. If there were fewer of them and their realm was lower, it might be a good thing for the world.
In full view of the crowd, Ji You walked along the sacred road, left Nishan and headed for Shengjing.
At sunset at the hour of You, in a remote small house on the back street of Chunhua Lane.
The kitchen in the southeast corner was filled with the smell of smoke and the sound of boiling water could be heard. Dozens of plump white dumplings were floating in the water.
Kuang Cheng walked to the stove, rolled up his sleeves, and brought the steaming dumplings into the main house.
Ji You was sitting in the main house and took the dumplings.
Today is the Moon Festival, which is also a traditional festival in Qingyun World. It has the same status as the New Year's Day and is a festival that the folks attach great importance to.
Since the evening, the streets have been filled with lanterns and bright lights.
On this day last year, Kuang Cheng was studying hard at Chunhua Station, preparing to take the imperial examination, and had no time to pay attention to this festival. Today, he specially cooked dumplings and asked Ji You to celebrate with him.
"After the tax was collected, refugees from Yunzhou and Zhongzhou migrated to Fengzhou. It is said that several counties in Danshui County have seen a lot more people, most of whom have families with them."
Ji You picked up the chopsticks and said, "For thousands of years, people everywhere have been like this, working very hard just to survive."
Kuang Cheng nodded: "Brother Ji, according to the Qingyun Immortal Rules, you can legitimately reduce the taxes of the people in Fengzhou, but you can't protect the people in other states. But if all the people can seek survival in Fengzhou, it would be fine, but unfortunately..."
"It's a pity that local government offices have begun to privately issue bans, strictly prohibiting the people under their jurisdiction from roaming around?"
"Brother Ji is right..."
Ji You dipped the dumplings into the vinegar dish and said, "This is normal. The people under their rule are fleeing to Fengzhou, and those officials will worry about whether they can pay enough taxes next year. For the sake of their lives, they will of course issue strict orders."
Kuang Cheng also knew this, but he still sighed with a little regret: "It's a pity that all the people can't flee to Fengzhou."
"Oh, you really think well. If it is true as you said, and all the people have fled to Fengzhou, then I will be the one who will die."
"Brother Ji once said, 'Since ancient times, everyone has to die. I will leave my loyalty to shine in history.'"
Ji You glanced at him and thought to himself, you scholar, it’s really easy to be brainwashed.
Kuang Cheng then turned around, opened the closet, took out a jar of wine, and turned to look at Ji You: "I went to the orphanage today and gave some food to the children. On the way back, I bought a jar of wine, but it was only made from grain, not as good as the wine used in the banquets of the noble families in the capital."
"Stop talking so much. You have wine but you don't bring it to me."
"This wine is only two taels of silver. I'm afraid Brother Ji won't be used to it..."
Ji You took the jar and opened the seal: "Don't be silly, this kind of wine is more reassuring to drink. The wine at the banquet of the noble family looks clear, but I always feel that it is the same color as blood."
Kuang Cheng put two wine bowls on the table, looked up at the voice, and looked a little confused: "Then why did Brother Ji still want to go?"
"I wasn't used to it at first, but then I thought, if I don't eat, wouldn't it be a bargain for them? At least after we are full, we can take care of other people's business."
“I can actually think this way…”
Ji You pointed at the dumplings and said, "Eat quickly. Later, we two lonely people will go to see the lanterns together."
Kuang Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Um, Miss Wei and I have already made an appointment in advance."
(Everyone, Happy Lantern Festival! My wife and I are going to light lanterns!) (End of this chapter)
