Dao fruit.

While Qiu Yan was startled, his thoughts turned, and he was about to draw divine power out from the black hole in his soul, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, noticed the old man's gaze, stopped immediately, and turned to try to contact the person who had left his soul. Divine power, but the news is faint, there is no response at all, it is clearly completely collapsed!

"The divine power has collapsed!"

This feeling made Qiu Yan even more surprised, but his mood stabilized instead, and he suppressed the surprise with a turn of his thoughts, and no longer let the emotion show from his soul.

"From the time I came out of my body to the present, I have met several monks and fought with them one after another. Even though the spell has a certain influence on the divine power, it is still the first time that the divine power was directly forced out and shattered in the air like now. once!"

Thinking of this, a word flashed in his heart instantly——

"Returning to one state? Three souls uniting into one? Breaking the divine power! Could it be that the cultivation level of the person in front of me is the return to one state mentioned by the people in the painting? Can he compete head-on with the gods as a monk?"

Qiu Yan's deity is a god, and his understanding of the divine way is getting deeper and deeper. He knows that the gods seem powerful, but they are restricted.His living soul can use the black hole to display its divine power, which is actually a great advantage. It is a loophole. It is only because the divine power that can be mobilized is limited, so it cannot be swept away, but even so, it can still leapfrog and fight. Fight with the three soul condensing souls.

Ordinary monks, even if they have means to limit the living soul, they still have to evade and turn around in the face of divine power, just like Zhan Yuan and others, but right now this old man doesn't show any signs, he just said a word, and he doesn't know what method he used. Above the divine power, disintegrate and shatter!

"Divine power has always been my trump card, but now it seems that it is not safe..."

These thoughts were fleeting, but before Qiu Yan came back to his senses, the old man said another word.

"sit!"

As soon as this word was spoken, Qiu Yan's living soul suddenly sank down, fell from the air, and landed directly on the chair in front of the table, and then twisted and changed, the whole living soul quickly extended, elongated and deformed, manifesting a head , Limbs and torso, in the blink of an eye, the body is derived, and the clothes are manifested, just like a person, sitting on the chair.

"Huh? What's going on here?"

As soon as Qiu Yanren sat down, he jumped up immediately, his feet landed on the ground, and he felt a sense of being down-to-earth. He clenched his fists, and the power transmission was real, but these made him terrified.

The living soul is derived from the heart, it is consciousness, thought, memory, metaphysical, so it is difficult for ordinary people to see it, and it is difficult for ordinary living souls to affect the present world without using soul power spells.

However, the old man's words, one word, let Qiu Yan's soul fall down, and he became a person. His perception and feeling were extremely real. This simply subverted his imagination, and there was a fierce conflict with the description in "The Way of Life" and Zhan Yuan's broken memory. .

Subconsciously, he looked up at the old man.

The old man seemed to understand his astonishment, and said: "In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. He didn't know that Zhou's dream was a butterfly, and the butterfly's dream was Zhuang Zhou. The dreams in the present world are all about the mind, the body and the senses. Acting in the present is the right way."

The ancient legends in this world are somewhat similar to Qiu Yan's previous life, and there is also the allusion of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. Now that it is said from the old man's mouth, it has a calming effect. After listening to it, Qiu Yan's surprise in his heart subsided a little.

"Turning the virtual soul into an entity, this ability to convert the living soul into the virtual and the real, involves complex factors such as perception and memory. Even the deity of the gods can't do it, but this person in front of me can do it with a simple word. This method is shocking to the world, I never thought that he, as an important minister of the imperial court and a great Confucian in the world, can still have such a level of cultivation."

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you Ma Lao Xiangguo for your guidance."

"Oh? You already know who I am?" The old man sat still, and there was surprise in his words, but his tone was as steady as Mount Tai.

This old man is Ma Yang who entered the city a few days ago, a veteran of the two dynasties and a master of the literary world.

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Wansheng has been listening to books every night these days, and I have some insights, so I inquired a little bit, and I found out that it is the old Xiangguo who lives here." When he spoke, he was respectful, but he didn't try to please, he was neither humble nor overbearing.

In other words, even though Qiu Yan's avatar is a scholar with no fame, his deity is a god and can be called noble. Although he respects the old man in front of him, he will not demean himself.

The old man nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the seat, and said again: "Sit."

Qiu Yan was also polite, and turned to sit down.

The two looked at each other across the desk.

The old man opened his drooping eyelids, looked at him, and asked, "After listening to the book for three days, what do you think?"

Qiu Yan pondered for a while, raised his hand, stretched out a finger, and swiped in the air, only to see the light and shadow change at the fingertips, and with the swiping, characters appeared one after another.

Although he is in the form of a human being, his essence is still a living soul. It is formed by the aggregation of thoughts, and with the help of the old man's power to change reality, he can evolve what he thinks in his heart. When the words are listed, they are about to become a piece. The article is fluent.

The old man sat quietly, his eyes moved with the text, obviously reading, as the article took shape, he nodded slowly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

One old and one young, one reads and one writes, as if the elders are examining the studies of the younger ones.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan stopped his hands and frowned, as if he was thinking hard, and there was nothing he didn't understand.

"This article of yours starts with history, aims at the people, explains the profound in a simple way, and writes about the things around us, but from the small to the big, it shows that after the people's lives change, the people's wishes will also change accordingly. If life is happy, If the people wish to prosper, the world will be auspicious, if life is poor, the people will wish to decline, thousands of miles of beacon smoke, very upright, very clear, very good!"

The old man said three good words in a row, which shows that he appreciates it in his heart.

Qiu Yan's article has already been written for quite a long paragraph. If it falls on paper, it will be enough to fill three pages. What is written in it is not only the perception of listening to the book for three days, but also the deity's experience of accepting the people's willingness to change the incense, so it can be penetrating. .

"Unfortunately, this article cannot be completed right now."

As Qiu Yan spoke, he raised his hand and wiped away an article that was hanging in the air.

"You can't finish this article now. It's not because you don't have enough knowledge, but because you don't have enough experience," the old man said, coughing twice, and then continued, "Knowledge and efficiency are the same as officials, behaviors are compared to the same township, and virtue is the same." Your Majesty, when conquering a country, step by step, your eyes will be wide open, I hope you will complete this article after walking around in the world of mortals."

Then, he raised his eyes to Qiu Yan, and said in his mouth: "Although I don't know why you, a monk, are obsessed with fame, but your writing can tell your heart. If you walk upright and sit upright, you can achieve success in the imperial examination."

Qiu Yan listened, but just saluted. He asked for the imperial examination, originally to complete the cause and effect, but now there is an additional auxiliary divine way, no matter which one, it is related to the people, so the article he wrote is certainly not hypocritical.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, without hesitation, he asked directly: "Wan Sheng, may I ask old Xiangguo, what is the purpose of coming to Qingchang?"
