Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 44
After that, the two exchanged again.

Zhou Yu only knew that after Mo Chou hid in the painting, she was constrained by an invisible force, and she has been trapped in the painting ever since.

It wasn't until this painting was brought back by Zhou Yu and hung in the study that Mo Chou felt that the force restraining her was weakening day by day.

Last night, she finally got out of trouble and walked out of the painting.

She left the study in surprise, wanting to see the long-lost world.

In the end, I found that I couldn't get too far away from the painting scroll, and the range of activities was about a hundred feet.

"No matter what, Mo Chou was able to come out of the painting and regain her freedom, all thanks to the merits of the young master, please give me another bow from Mo Chou!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a smile, "Young lady, you don't have to be polite. In fact, I didn't do anything. I really deserve it."

"It may not be mentioned to the young master, but to Mo Chou, it is reborn with kindness..."

Speaking of this, Mo Chou bit her lip and said shyly: "If you don't mind, Mo Chou is willing to serve you to repay your kindness."

The implication is: the young master has no way of repaying his life-saving grace, but the little girl can only promise her with her body.

"Miss Mochou speaks seriously. It is an honor to be accompanied by such a beautiful woman as a girl. I don't need to mention the word "repaying kindness" in the future."

"But let the young master decide..."

Not long after, Zhou Yu returned to the room holding Mo Chou's hand.

There are poems:
"The fairy looks down on the king lightly, and frowns beautifully on the willow leaves.

The secluded spring begins in a square inch, and the butterflies love each other in spring..."

When the cock crowed at five o'clock, Mo Chou got up slowly, with a lazy and coquettish attitude.

"My lord, I'm going back to the painting first."

Last night, she called herself a little girl, but her claim changed overnight.

"Well, Mo Chou, I will definitely find a way to let you practice. Once you succeed in cultivation, it will not be affected even in the daytime."

"Thank you sir..."

While speaking, Mo Chou's figure flashed, turning into a ray of breeze and flying out of the window.

As soon as she left, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sat up refreshed, breathed and adjusted his breath with his legs crossed, and he didn't look tired at all.

This is because he adopted the techniques of health preservation recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic.

In short, everything in the world cannot avoid the word "yin and yang" after all.

Just like heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, mountains and rivers, men and women...

This is a natural law and law.

Mo Chou was originally a female ghost. She had been trapped in the painting for decades, and her physique had somewhat changed.

This is also the reason why she is not so cold.

But in essence, she is still a woman, belonging to Yin.

And Zhou Yu is Yang.

As long as you fully grasp the characteristics and laws of Yin and Yang, and seek a kind of balance and harmony from them, it will not only be harmless, but even beneficial.

This is also the reason why many Taoists seek Taoist companions to practice double cultivation together.

There is a saying in "Zhuangzi": To the Yin is solemn, to the Yang Hehe.The solemnity is beyond the sky, and the splendor is beyond the ground.The communication between the two forms harmony and things come into being, or it is invisible because of the discipline.

The general idea of ​​this passage is that a lonely yin does not grow, a single yang does not grow, and only when yin and yang meet can all things be derived.

To put it simply: Only Yin and Yang are the Dao!

After adjusting his breath for a while, Zhou Yu sensed a small stream of cool breath settled near the sea of ​​qi in his body.

Presumably this is the yin energy belonging to Mo Chou.

Why do people often say that humans and ghosts have different paths?That's because ordinary people have no way to control the Yin Qi of ghosts.

Just as Yan Chixia warned Ning Caichen: "Once a human and a ghost are together, even if she has no intention of harming you, you will still be harmed by Yin Qi."

Once the yin qi invades and suppresses the yang qi of a person, they may die.

But the scholar is better, because the scholar is more or less heroic and protective, and can withstand the toss than ordinary people.

This is probably the reason why the female ghosts in Liaozhai like to find scholars.

Zhou Yu is not afraid of Yin Qi at all, not to mention that he has mastered the method of controlling Yin Qi now, which will be of great benefit to his future practice.

After breakfast, Zhou Yu walked into the study intentionally or unintentionally, and found that Mo Chou in the painting had changed significantly.

She used to have long hair and shawls, but now she has her hair in a bun. It is really a magical painting.

"gentlemen……"

Zhou Yu was about to turn around and leave when Ying Ning's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Damn girl, what are you doing running in without making a sound?"

Zhou Yu had a feeling of anger from embarrassment, as if someone had caught him doing something bad.

"Hee hee~"

Ying Ning didn't answer, but glanced at Mr. meaningfully, and then at the painting.

Now that Zhou Yu understood, this little girl probably knew everything.

That being the case, I stopped pretending and had a showdown: "Girl, don't put on an air, just say what you know."

"Hee hee, it's nothing, I just think the sister in the painting is so pretty."

"Her name is Mochou."

"Oh, Yingning has met Sister Mochou."

Ying Ning saluted the portrait solemnly.

"Okay, hurry up and change clothes, it's time to go to the school for class."

If Ying Ning has nothing to do, she will change into men's clothes and go to the school to attend classes.

Although all the students knew that she was a girl, they had to avoid suspicion, and it would be easier to change into men's clothes.

That night, Zhou Yu still went to the library to read first, and then went back to the study to summon Mo Chou.

The relationship between the two is different now, and the chatting is naturally much more natural than yesterday.

Only after this conversation did Zhou Yu know that Mo Chou had not only read the Four Books and Five Classics, but also had some experience in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was a talented woman.

It's no wonder that she was reluctant to marry before she was alive, mainly because her vision was too high.

It wasn't until later that the parents became anxious, and they had no choice but to sit in the bridal sedan chair.

Unexpectedly, the concubine's fate is unlucky, and she encountered a catastrophe of a ghost king robbing her on the way...

After Zhou Yu's questioning, Mo Chou told the story of the ghost king again.

"The concubine also heard something about the ghost king while escaping from those little ghosts.

Those little ghosts called the ghost king their empress. It is said that she was originally a black fox who fell in love with a scholar.

Later, the scholar asked an expert to kill her for some reason, but her demon spirit persisted, and she finally cultivated into the black fox ghost king.

She hates men all over the world, as long as the wedding procession passing through her territory, she will snatch them..."

"It's understandable that she hates men. Why did she want to rob her?"

Mo Chou smiled wryly and shook her head: "I don't know, maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's revenge..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help saying: "Mo Chou, no matter what, you died because of that black fox ghost king.

When I have a chance, I will definitely take you with me to find that black fox to end this enmity with my own hands. "

Mo Chou was a little moved, and said with a blessing, "Thank you, Young Master."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yu happily took out the Four Treasures of the Study and wrote, painted, and recited poems with Mo Chou.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said: "Mo Chou, it's getting late, why don't we... let's continue chatting in the room?"

Mo Chou lowered her head shyly: "But it's up to you..."

This chat is another cock crowing five o'clock.
