Dao Fruit

When Qiu Yan returned to Qingchang County, he had a hexagram drawn for himself, but there were three interpretations for one hexagram.

Among them, the interpretation of Wang Yong going on an expedition predicted that he would go north to the Eastern Capital, and the remaining two interpretations were one bad and one good.

The bad omen was exactly the 93rd hexagram of Li.

According to Chen Jing, the clay sculpture in front of Qiu Yan had existed for at least a thousand years, which was in line with the saying of "great old age", but the spirit in it was tenacious and indestructible. The Chen family had sent people to explore and search for it many times, but they could not make the spirit dissipate.

However, now that Qiu Yan had just arrived, he felt the trend of the spirit's impending demise from it, and it was also connected with his own luck. No matter how you look at it, it is not an ordinary thing.

"It's like there's a visible hand controlling it. However, since it involves luck, I have to choose one side to enter the forest, so let's just do it together."

Although he was confused, he had a warning in his heart. Qiu Yan didn't say anything and made a decision immediately. He looked up at Chen Jing and asked, "Brother Chen, have you prepared the pen and ink?"

Hearing this, Chen Jing immediately understood the meaning and immediately showed a happy face: "Brother Qiu, you finally made a decision, very good!"

As he said, he turned his head to look at Chen Yun, who understood, flicked his sleeves, and something shot out, expanded and changed, and fell on the ground in front of the altar, turning into a table and chairs, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

The table and chairs were next to the clay sculpture of the altar, and the candlelight could not reach them, and they were all covered by shadows.

"Brother Qiu, please!" Chen Jing raised his hand to signal, Qiu Yan nodded and walked over to the table.

This table was fragrant and ruddy. When he approached, he could feel the warm breath, which made Qiu Yan feel surprised.

This sage hall is located underground, with no sunlight all year round. It is cold and damp. The warm breath from the tables and chairs emanates, and the hot and cold intersect, gradually condensing a layer of mist around.

"These tables and chairs are made of the best warm wood!"

Recognizing the material of the tables and chairs, Qiu Yan was a little surprised. This warm wood grows on the southernmost island of Da Rui. It can only survive in the spring-like environment there all year round. After being made into furniture, it can release heat, warm the body and heart, and calm the spirit, which is extremely beneficial for reading and writing.

Because of the single origin, the output is extremely low, and things are rare and expensive. Even ordinary wealthy families find it difficult to buy warm wood furniture. I didn't expect that Chen Yun actually used Taoism to collect it in his sleeves and carry it with him.

Thinking in his heart, Qiu Yan tidied his clothes and sat down, and his whole body was warm. Then, he raised his hand to take the pen and dipped the tip of the pen in ink.

The pen is round and cold in the hand, but it makes people feel cool. It is obviously not an ordinary product. The ink exudes a fragrance, giving people a sense of relaxation and joy. Qiu Yan's spirit and energy instantly reached the peak.

"They are all good things, treasures of the study." He couldn't help but praise.

"These are all carefully prepared," Chen Jing walked to the side and raised his hand to grind. "If it weren't for Brother Qiu, Chen could only ask for help from friends. However, among Chen's friends, except Bai Zhaoyuan, there is no other person who is good at writing. If you want to bring more people into the forest at a time, you can only use external objects to help. These things are one of them. In order to raise them, the cost is not small."

Qiu Yan nodded, knowing that Chen Jing was telling the truth, and also noticed the water marks in the inkstone. As Chen Jing grinds, it becomes more fragrant.

At this time, Chen Jing said again: "Since ancient times, swords have been paired with heroes. If Brother Qiu likes them, I will give them to him afterwards to avoid burying them."

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "No merit without merit. This time, we just come to the forest to get what we need."

"Okay." Qiu Yan rejected him bluntly, but Chen Jing kept smiling, stopped his movements, shook his hands, and handed out four bracelets, "Everyone, since Brother Qiu has made a decision, there is no time to lose, so take the bracelets now."

As he spoke, the three bracelets flew out lightly, like three feathers, moving with the air, and slowly landed in front of Qiu Yan, Lu Daoren and Tao Ying.

"The Lianshui bracelet can temporarily connect our cause and effect. If one suffers, we suffer together. If one prospers, we prosper together. I, Chen Jing, dare not boast, but I have some status in the Chen family. Brother Tao can testify to this. The Chen family will not let my life and luck be in danger. Connecting with the bracelet is to show sincerity."

Raising his hand to pick up the bracelet in front of him, feeling the shimmering light on it, Qiu Yan's perception extended over, and he caught a bit of continuous artistic conception from it, and it also contained vigorous blood.

With a change of mind, he immediately understood that the function of this bracelet is not only to protect, but also to nourish flesh and blood, but the most important thing is to show attitude and sincerity.

Sure enough, Chen Jing said, "These four bracelets are all primary magic weapons. Although they cannot gather spiritual energy by themselves, the spiritual energy stored in them can still last for three months. In three months, we will have returned to our bodies. During this period, this bracelet can not only resist attacks, but also replenish the consumption of the physical body, maintain blood and qi, and keep the physical body from withering."

"Take out four magic weapons in one breath?" Qiu Yan has a further understanding of the Chen family's assets.

On the other side, Chen Jing has put on the bracelet first. Suddenly, the sparkling light on the bracelet spreads and covers his whole body. Chen Jing said, "After putting on this bracelet, it is difficult for outsiders to take it off."

"I believe what Chen Jing said." Tao Ying glanced at Qiu Yan and put on the bracelet. His body immediately sparkled. A little reflection appeared in the light, which reflected the light and shadow on Chen Jing's body.

Qiu Yan can feel that the cause and effect between the two is vaguely connected, but it is not stable, but it can be done if one loses.

After thinking about it, he also put the bracelet on his hand, but at the same time, a little fragment and a little thought flew out of the hole in his soul and merged into it silently.

Then, the passerby smiled slightly and put it on his hand as well.

For a moment, the four people were filled with water and light, and the waves reflected each other and were faintly connected.

Chen Jing nodded, suppressed his smile, solemnly picked up the sage paper, put it on the table, and then said to Qiu Yan: "Brother Qiu, now that you have decided to write, Chen must explain some details clearly. ”

"Brother Chen, please speak." Qiu Yan sat upright and showed an attentive attitude.

"There is a blank spirit in this sage's paper. If a person writes, the spirit in the words can be integrated into it, feedback to itself, and transparent to the mind. I know that Brother Qiu, your words have charm. This is a rare thing. Just by the rhyme of the words, you can It can enrich the paper of saints, but if you want to open up the scholarly world in advance, these are not enough. You must express your true feelings in words. "

Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, as if reminiscing, and then continued: "However, to be on the safe side, Brother Qiu had better understand and capture the spirit contained in this statue, and then use it in a targeted manner. Use your own literary path to explain and describe, so as to be in harmony with the spirit of the sages and then shock them.”

Qiu Yan listened, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is it related to whether the door to Shilin can be opened from the moment it is written?"

"Not bad." Chen Jing nodded. He noticed the thoughtfulness in Qiu Yan's eyes, so he stopped talking and took two steps back to avoid disturbing Qiu Yan's thinking.

Qiu Yan just sat on the chair. After a while, he closed his eyes and frowned slightly, thinking and thinking.

Everyone else present suddenly felt angry and depressed, and then they all held their breath.

There was sudden silence all around.

Time passed, and the silence lasted for about a stick of incense, but was broken by the sound of Tao Ying's moving footsteps.

This man is just an ordinary person. He has not endured a beating, nor has he understood his true nature. He stood motionless for such a long time, and his legs were already numb.

This move made Tao Ying's heart even more difficult to settle down. He looked at Qiu Yan who was sitting silently and recalled the scene he had seen in Xingjing a few days ago.

As the magistrate of Liang County, this person cannot leave his post without authorization. He came here because he came to Beijing for a case. When he came back, he happened to pass through Dongdu, so he arranged for a substitute to leave according to Chen Jing's words. But he stayed.

"Is Qiu Yan's knowledge really comparable to Bai Zhaoyuan?"

Thinking about it, Tao Ying moved two more steps, came to Chen Jing, and whispered: "A few days ago, I followed my father-in-law at the Xingjing Literary Hall to watch the scene where Bai Zhaoyuan shocked the clay sculptures. The man also had some words before writing. He closed his eyes silently and meditated on the process of brewing. However, when Bai Zhaoyuan was brewing, his momentum was surging, and he had a kind of artistic conception that would leave me alone. It filled the entire library, causing the wind to rise from the flat ground of the library, and Qiu Yan was also meditating. But the situation is calm and the judgment is made.”

Chen Jing replied with a smile: "The literary thoughts comprehended are different, and the literary paths opened are different, so naturally there will be different performances."

Tao Ying said: "Having said that, it is not easy to enter the forest in advance. Even though Qiu Yan has some literary talent, the apricot altar has not yet opened. It is still a bit risky to rely on one's own strength. Sage paper is hard to come by. If it is If this person's writing is useless, it will be difficult for you and me to enter the forest in a short period of time. "

"Brother Qiu will never let you or me down," Chen Jing glanced at Tao Ying, "Brother Tao, don't take it to heart about what he said just now. Brother Qiu has a bright future, and it's better to make friends than to make enemies. "

Tao Ying sneered: "He has a close relationship with Ma Yang. If he joins the court, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud noise, and the clay sculpture on the divine table suddenly trembled, and the shadow covering the upper part of it exploded, turning into strange-looking shadows, howling and scattering. Come on!

The speed of these shadows is extremely fast, and they arrive in an instant. Their cries are strange. If you distinguish them carefully, you can hear four words——

"mountain elf!"

"Charm!"

"elf!"

"Sprite!"

In an instant, shadows flew everywhere. Wherever there was no firelight, there were traces of them. A small part of them rushed towards Tao Ying and others. This sudden change scared the county magistrate and couldn't help but scream, He was about to retreat, but Chen Jing suddenly reached out and put his hand on Tao Ying's shoulder, holding him down!

"What are you doing!" Tao Ying's expression suddenly changed and she shouted urgently!

On the other side, a large group of shadows roared out from the upper part of the clay sculpture, gathered together, and rushed towards Qiu Yan. The layer of sparkling light covering Qiu Yan's body had no effect.

In an instant, the shadow entered the body! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
