With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 153 The old friend’s new temple

The moon is bright, the wind is clear, the sky is high and the air is refreshing.

Li Zhen was sitting under the big tree in the courtyard of Chuixiang Tower.

Listening to the rustling of leaves in the wind, I feel no sleepiness.

In layman's terms, he suffered from insomnia.

But it shouldn't be.

Logically speaking, cultivation has reached his level.

With a stable mind, one can often sleep until dawn.

And, usually, there is no dreaming.

However, just now Li Zhen was awakened by a nightmare.

After that, I couldn't sleep anymore.

The dream was empty and there was no daylight.

There is only a silt land where the floods have receded, full of filth.

There are also countless white bones in various weird ways, with their hands held upward, facing the sky.

They were struggling and roaring.

As if asking Li Zhen why he didn't come to save them.

"Is there really an evil spirit entangled with Pindao?"

"It shouldn't be, it's so fast."

Li Zhen muttered, looking a little confused.

Rocking the recliner beneath him.

Look at the stars and moon that are exceptionally transparent and clear.

Feel the extraordinarily active and abundant inspiration surrounding you.

For no reason, he sighed.

in fact

He probably also knows why he dreams and can't sleep.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night.

Over the years, he seemed to be doing nothing but fighting.

In front of people who know, act like you don't care about anything.

However, is this really the case?

Can Li Zhen really not care about anything at all?

impossible.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be him anymore.

Therefore, he was thinking about the continuous heavy rains in the past few days and the victims whose homes were flooded.

Similarly, we are also thinking about what harm the Hun River will bring if its banks burst.

Practitioners usually don't dream.

Every dream has a sign.

He was thinking that maybe he saw something in his dream.

Is this the tragic situation that will be revealed to the world after the flood recedes?

Thinking like this, Li Zhen couldn't bear to close his eyes.

Ingenuity, inspiration.

Some things can't be dismissed just by saying it doesn't matter.

Both inherited spiritual opportunities and benefited from this turmoil.

Then you have to bear a share of the cause and bear a share of the result.

Can't escape, can't walk away.

So, after the rain stopped a few days ago.

Li Zhen's true energy started to move slightly.

Even the little flower on the Daoji seedling was trembling slightly.

And that's not all.

What changed was his usual calm heart.

"The calamity of practicing?"

Li Zhen seemed to understand.

There was a patter of footsteps in the distance.

Erqing, who had returned from foraging for food outside the mountains, came over.

Seeing Li Zhen, it asked curiously:

"Master, why don't you sleep today?"

Li Zhen replied casually:

"I'm upset and can't sleep."

"Why are you upset?"

The bull's head came closer and closer, its big, glistening eyes full of doubts.

"You don't understand it."

"How can I understand if you don't tell me!"

rub!

Li Zhen sat up and looked at it coldly.

Er Qing was startled and shrank back.

He buried his head and whispered:

"If you don't say it, don't say it."

"It's so vicious, it scares the hell out of you."

Li Zhen rolled his eyes.

Ever since I could speak.

This dead cow's curiosity is getting more and more intense every day, and he wants to ask about everything.

Don't you think curiosity killed the cow?

One day, it will have to learn a big lesson from this.

After glaring at it, Li Zhen lay down again.

Swinging the cattail leaf fan blowing the cool breeze, looking at the distance under the sky.

He seems to be talking to Erqing, and also seems to be talking to himself:

"I'm upset~"

"Being upset means having big things hidden in your heart and being unable to make a decision at the moment."

"Big thing, how big is it?"

"It's big."

"Big is so big!"

Li Zhen raised his hand and knocked Er Qing on the head.

"I've said this, but you don't understand it either."

Come again

Erqing was a little aggrieved.

The heart is so small, but the things are so big.

How can you hide it in your heart?

Master is really an amazing man.

Not like it.

He's so small-minded that he can't even hide that damn big eagle.

"Second Qing."

It seemed like a long time passed.

Erqing, who had been feeling groggy for a long time and was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard Li Zhen calling him.

"Master, I'm here."

"Tell me, what would you do if such a troublesome thing were placed in front of you?"

Li Zhen looked at the sky and casually asked this stupid green bull.

Listening to his words, Erqing suddenly woke up.

It gritted its teeth and said viciously:

"If that damn eagle appears in front of me, no matter if it's annoying or not, I'm going to make two big holes in it."

Hearing this, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Are you coming here recklessly?

It's a solution.

Li Zhen nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

He suddenly realized that he had been a little hesitant recently.

It seemed that some were frightened by the sudden turmoil of inspiration.

Lost the normalcy of the past.

Yes!

No matter how the world changes in the future, so what?

The matter in front of you is right in front of you, and it must be solved eventually.

Since there is no escape.

Why bother thinking about too many useless things.

Just like he thought before.

Doing it, no matter how much you do, is better than not doing it at all.

My thoughts were straightened out and my knots were untangled.

This annoying thing no longer bothers me.

Li Zhen turned over with a lingering smile on his face.

After a while, he fell asleep.

Gradually, the sound of snoring came.

Only Er Qing was left standing aside, his face full of depression.

That's what you did when you woke me up!

Then, he fell asleep?

Human?

Day two.

Li Zhen, who had slept outside the house for a night, stretched out.

I couldn't shake my head and did Tai Chi again.

Then I went to a small vegetable garden in the field to pick a few clever cucumbers and brewed a pot of chrysanthemum tea.

Sitting in the pavilion by the lotus pond, I rummaged through the remaining jade stones from the past.

The true energy was swallowed and turned into a sharp carving knife at the fingertips.

As the fingers twitched, jade chips flew everywhere.

Qiao Qi grabbed his trousers at his feet and bit them.

Suddenly, the spirit came.

This is not the first time he has seen Li Zhen do such a thing.

Every time it is done, the cat will be frightened.

But the raccoon slave's naughty nature is hard to change.

Even so, it remembers eating but not fighting.

"Don't make trouble."

"Let's play while we're at it."

Li Zhen didn't want to deal with it.

This briquette is so annoying.

There are cats all over the world who are five or six years old. Why are they still as naughty and active as if they were newborns?

Tell it and make people laugh.

So, he shouted to Erqing who was about to sneak out:

"Er Qing, watch your cat for me!"

"Master, it's your cat."

It blinked its eyes and said solemnly.

Li Zhen took a long breath.

Poverty-stricken.

I can't bear it anymore.

So, he grabbed the coal ball by the back of his neck. He threw it outside and landed firmly on Er Qing's neck.

The world is finally clean.

Lower your head and go about your own business.

When I went out in the past, there was nature watching in the Chuixiang Tower.

But now

I can only do it myself.

Fortunately, you don't have to spend money to hire a concierge or anything.

Chief Li Daodao has his own clever plan.

It's the formation.

A cloud and mist trapped the Chuixiang Tower.

A trapped formation formed by the newly comprehended "town" character.

After years of studying the "town" character, it can both calm the mind and the mind.

At the same time, it has great repressive power.

It can intimidate a person from a spiritual level.

After forming the formation, this sharing is amplified a hundred times.

Even the Grand Master had evil intentions and broke into the formation.

Also keep it and call him, there will be no return.

As for that, could there be accidental injury?

joke.

Anyone who knows Chuixiang Tower knows that he, Mr. Li Daochang, lives here.

How could someone who didn't know Chuixiang Tower "accidentally" break in?

Therefore, this is a false proposition.

Li Zhen was not worried at all.

Bury the jade talisman in the corner of the courtyard.

When the true energy is stimulated, white mist appears.

I secretly said that fortunately, after this heavy rain, the world suddenly became active.

Otherwise, just rely on a spirit gathering array.

But he couldn't support the consumption of these two formations, so he needed to replenish his true energy every now and then.

But now, it's a different situation.

out the door.

Erqing was already waiting for him at the end of the road.

The coal ball seemed to have exhausted all its energy at this time, and lay quietly on its head.

It's just that the pair of eyes looking around are full of novelty.

However, it revealed that this little thing was not calm at this time.

Seeing Li Zhen approaching, he showed off his teeth and claws.

It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with his behavior of throwing it out just now.

Li Zhen ignored it this time.

It's just that under the sign that was naturally hung at the beginning, another one was hung neatly.

He clapped his hands and looked at his masterpiece.

Nodding with satisfaction.

"Sir, what's written on it?"

Er Qing was a little curious.

It can speak but cannot read.

"hehe."

"I told you to read more books if you have nothing to do. Now you regret it!"

Li Zhen glanced at it and sneered.

But he didn’t refuse to read it:

"Confucian scholars and dogs are not allowed inside."

"anything else."

"If you go out on business, you will be responsible for trespassing."

"What's the meaning."

"You don't understand it."

Li Zhen joked and smiled.

He walked past Er Qing who looked depressed.

Slowly and leisurely, I got off the fairy tea.

Behind.

A green cow followed suit.

On the head of the huge cow, a small thing waved its claws forward.

Like a general on an expedition.

Majestic.

Li Zhen is going to take a trip out of the capital.

After lying down for so many years, it was time to move my muscles and bones.

However, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he quietly came to Yong'anfang in the city and found the Dragon King Temple.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been here again.

However, this primitive temple not only survived but also survived.

On the contrary, it has become more and more prosperous.

When Li Zhen arrived, the Dragon King Temple seemed to have just completed a new round of construction.

People are setting off firecrackers to invite the newly created statues back to the temple.

Li Zhen took a look.

Hey!

Also gilded.

In recent years, Eunuch Yu's level has become higher and higher.

I heard from people around me why there was such a change.

This is because during the previous heavy rains, most of the cities in the capital were flooded by accumulated water that was not drained in time.

But luckily, Yong'anfang did not suffer this disaster.

The people living here have not even had their yards flooded.

But strangely, the Dragon King Temple was destroyed by heavy rain.

After the heavy rain stopped, people thought that the Dragon King had appeared.

In order to protect believers like them, they even had no time to protect their own temples.

Ever since.

This time there was a larger scale and higher grade reconstruction.

"How many times has this happened?"

"Is it possible, Eunuch Yu, you really have a spirit in heaven?"

Li Zhen scratched his head.

Look at the statue of the Dragon King whose face is blurred in the smoke.

Time has passed so long that Li Zhen has forgotten what his former Eunuch Yu looked like.

Looking at the statue of the Dragon King, it looks majestic and somewhat domineering.

There is an inexplicable feeling in my heart.

Maybe, Eunuch Yu really looks like this?

"Outrageous, outrageous."

He shook his head slightly to get rid of such ridiculous thoughts from his mind.

Since the deceased is well, the temple is intact.

Then Li Zhen wasn't going to interfere.

Just when he turned to leave, he bumped into a fat face.

"Taoist, Taoist."

"This is the talisman I asked for from the Dragon King. It can protect people's health and get rid of evil spirits. It is very effective."

Li Zhen looked at the person in front of him dressed as a temple worshiper and felt a little familiar.

After a while, he remembered something.

This man looks somewhat similar to Zhu Zhu, the old man who wanted money in the Dragon King Temple.

Thinking about it, he should be his descendant.

Even the way they love money is exactly the same.

It's just that the latter looks much smoother than the former.

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and he declined with a chuckle:

"I don't have the money to buy your magic talisman."

However, the fat Miao Zhu had a stern look on his face:

"What did the Taoist say?"

"There is no charge for this talisman."

"Oh?"

Li Zhen was a little surprised, but he didn't look like he was faking it.

He nodded, thoughtfully:

"The poor Taoist accepted it."

"The Dragon King will bless you."

Fat Miao Zhu saw that Li Zhen accepted it, so he didn't bother with it.

Then he turned to face the next person with a smile on his face.

"This lady, please give me one of the Dragon Prince's talismans."

Seeing him selling his magic talismans like a common hawker, Li Zhen smiled.

He took Erqing, who was watching the excitement, and left slowly.

"Master, this talisman~"

It hesitates to speak.

"What happened to Fu?"

Li Zhen put the talisman folded into a triangle and painted with an inexplicable water wave dragon pattern into his arms and asked casually.

"I'm stupid and can't explain it."

"But something just felt wrong."

"Humph~"

Li Zhen knocked on its head.

"It's up to you to say this."

"I naturally know that I will follow your path."

Er Qing was beaten for no reason and was a little unjust.

But who is the master? I can't resist.

My old cow's life is miserable.

It feels sorry for itself in its heart.

I didn't see it, but there was a raccoon slave watching everything.

He is holding up his little paws, dancing up and down, eager to try.

Li Zhen saw it and didn't stop him.

He just looked at the huge gate tower passing by with some inexplicable confusion.

"Leaving for the third time."

"I don't know if the surname here will be Zhou when I come back next time."

Mouthing.

Going against the flow of countless people fleeing to the capital, he left the city.

sunset.

The crowds pushed people into the city.

And a person walks alone, facing the sunset.

This is the only one.
