Dao Fruit

"Chen Jing, did Qiu Yan hear what you said?"

In a pure white and colorless space, Tao Ying walked around in circles, her face full of worry. From a distance, she seemed to be stepping in the air.

Next to him, Chen Jing stood and a passerby sat. The three of them were surrounded by pure white, with no other colors and no sound.

Tao Ying and the other three didn't even need to breathe, so there was no sound of breathing, adding to the sense of silence.

In the center of the three people, one can see a ball of light and shadow, with shadows in the light. What appears is a man in his forties, with a long beard and a calm demeanor. This man is surrounded by the ever-changing road conditions. The man was sitting in the car, with two attendants on both sides.

In addition, you can also see the rich black energy wrapped around this person's body, lingering and faintly seeping into the flesh and blood.

"If he hadn't heard and realized what to do, would we have been completely trapped here? Soundless, colorless, and boundless silence!"

Looking at the sight of the light ball, Tao Ying became more and more anxious. She had long lost her normal state, walking back and forth, unable to settle down for a moment.

Chen Jing did not try to persuade him, but said: "Brother Tao, now I can only trust Brother Qiu. He can move the clay sculptures of saints and sages, which is enough to represent the mind and literary talent. Now he is in a state of nostalgia and has been freed from the tedious matters of recruitment and surrender. It can be seen that there are clues.”

"Having said that, looking at Qiu Yan, he hasn't found the key! If he can't find it, wouldn't it harm us?" Tao Ying was still uneasy, with a worried look on his face, as if he was on a hot pot. of ants.

Chen Jing shook his head and said no more. He could understand Tao Ying. He was a mortal who did not practice Taoism or martial arts. He just wanted to come to Shilin to find some literary talents and increase his qualifications to impress his father-in-law. However, he encountered so many accidents and suffered one after another. It's normal to have sudden changes and lose your normal mind.

On the other side, passers-by were sitting cross-legged.

This place is completely white and there is no ground, so at first glance, this person sitting cross-legged seems to be floating in the air.

Just when Tao Ying was panicking and hesitated to speak, the Taoist suddenly said: "Donor Tao, you said that Donor Qiu has harmed us. Could it be that you have forgotten that if Donor Qiu had not been Wen Kaixinlu, you and I would never have had the chance to come here." , Donor Qiu entered Shilin on his own merit, and we only benefited from it. Now he is in a state of nostalgia. This is the test of Shilin for him. If he succeeds, he will gain, if he fails, he will perish. We can't intervene. I can’t help, I can only watch from the sidelines. You can’t even do meditation, so why are you here?”

As soon as he said this, Tao Ying stopped with an angry look on his face. He looked directly at the Taoist passerby and tried his best to suppress his anger: "What does the Taoist priest mean by this? Invite Qiu Yan over. This is a deal. He will take me in." Lin, and we will provide the clay sculptures of sages! Otherwise, no matter how talented and learned Qiu Yan is, he will be blocked from the world."

Tao Ying still had a trace of reason left, knowing that Lu Dao had magical powers and was not easy to provoke, otherwise he would not be so polite.

But the Taoist did not appreciate it, and instead said: "In the gate of the poor Taoist master, there is a record of the scene of the ancestor's ascension. The ancestor once asked all living beings in front of the gate of heaven, and those who answered followed him and went to heaven. It can be said that one person has attained the Tao. Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. However, the poor Taoist founder devoted himself to cultivation. Ascension is the right result. Those who go with him are just a chance and they have not achieved the right result. If they forget about it, they will inevitably be a little ignorant. We are now in this situation. , How do you know it’s not the reward of opportunism?”

When the passerby said this, he remained silent and closed his eyes, but the meaning of his words was already very clear——

Becoming enlightened by following others is not your own ability, it is just like chickens and dogs. You must be self-aware!

This metaphor made Tao Ying change his expression immediately. He seemed to have a normal body now, but in fact he just showed his soul. When his thoughts and emotions were confused, his body shape immediately became blurred.

"By what the Taoist Master said, are you comparing Qiu Yan to a great sage who has attained Taoism, and treating himself, Brother Chen, and I as the accompanying chickens and dogs?" His voice was slightly trembling, which was also caused by his thoughts and emotions. When the influence comes, without the fetters of the physical body, emotions and thoughts will be difficult to conceal.

Seeing the debate restarting, Chen Jing suddenly interjected: "Don't argue, it won't help. It's better to calm down, save your thoughts, and then send the message to Brother Qiu. Just now, I and the road leader worked together to send a little sound. I don’t know if Brother Qiu heard it clearly, but if your energy is distracted by the quarrel, you’re putting the cart before the horse.”

As he spoke, he looked at the central light group attentively.

"Brother Qiu has arrived at the Palace of the King of Liang. We must be ready at all times. As soon as there is a gap in the scene of commemoration, we will immediately gather the minds of the three of us and pass on the message!"

While speaking, Chen Jing reached out and touched the light group. The moment his fingers touched the light group, his fingertips melted into it like snow, connected together, and his consciousness extended...

Seeing Chen Jing's actions, Tao Ying found the steps, walked over without saying anything more, and her expression became much calmer——

What the passerby said made the county magistrate furious, but he temporarily forgot about his panic.

The passerby glanced at the two of them, his body shape changed, and he came to the edge of the light group in an instant.

The three people surrounded the light group, their eyes locked on the light and shadow scene inside.

………………

Standing in the Palace of the King of Liang, Qiu Yan looked at the pavilions and pavilions in front of him, the carved beams and painted beams, and caught a hint of grace and nobility, and was speechless.

Up and down the palace stairs, there were teams of armored guards patrolling back and forth, and palace maids and officials were rushing back and forth from time to time, presenting a rich and busy scene.

From a distance, this palace seems to be shining with light, releasing boundless authority and covering the sky.

"Although I have not been starved to death all along the way, it has also been a period of famine. The common people were forced to have no way out. Some of them rose up in rebellion, and some of them accepted the situation. In such a situation, anyone with a compassionate heart will feel sad about their conscience, but Once you arrive at the palace, it feels like you are in another place, with endless wealth and honor..."

Thinking of this, the palace changed in Qiu Yan's eyes, like a giant beast entrenched in the center of the city, swallowing the people's fat and anointing, releasing a ferocious aura, shocking everyone.

Although the Liang Kingdom is a country, it is not considered a big country in this world where there are many princes. In terms of land area, it is only about a quarter of the south of Darui Mountain.

Qiu Yan went to Zhao'an, the camp of the rebel army, and then returned by car to resume his duties. The round trip only took one day, which is evident from this.

Right now, as he looked at the palace in front of him, he could feel an invisible authority enveloping the entire land.

Although the country is small, it has great power!

"Brother, Chamberlain Li is here." The young attendant next to him warned, calling Qiu Yan's attention back.

A white-faced and beardless young man came with a smile on his face. He came to Qiu Yan and raised his arms to salute: "The great Sinong is back. Then follow the junior official into the palace. The king has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you, Chamberlain Li." Qiu Yan returned the greeting and left.

Chamberlains, also known as eunuchs, are usually the confidants of the king of the country.

Waiter Li led a few people forward, climbed the steps, walked through a long corridor, and came to a majestic hall. Two powerful guards stood in front of the door. A little closer, Qiu Yan He caught the fluctuations of Qi and blood from the two of them, and knew that they were people with a lot of destiny.

Ten steps away from the palace door, Chamberlain Li stopped, turned around, looked at the two attendants, and said with a smile: "You two brothers will go to the side hall to rest first, waiting for your return."

The young man and another servant did not dare to disobey the order and left.

When the servant had gone far away, the servant Li suddenly lowered his voice and said to Qiu Yan: "My lord, the king sent you to Zhaoan the untouchables this time. There was no hope that it would succeed. It was just to show it to other princes, so as not to worry about it. After sending troops to suppress it, the overlord of Qi State used this as an excuse to attack. "

Hearing this, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Housekeeper Li said this, but do you have something to say to me?"

"Da Sinong is now in a high position and controls the country's wealth. I don't know how many people will come to join him in the future. I am not pretentious about being a junior official. I really want to make friends with you." Chamberlain Li also did not hide it, "What happened today , I would also like to remind you in advance that the king is in the palace, and Lord Zhang Qin and Zhang are with him. When the Lord speaks, he should think more carefully. Although Lord Zhang is an outsider, he is now in the position of a distinguished guest and has a high position of authority. He It’s best not to object to your proposition.”

Looking at the man in front of him, Qiu Yan nodded and thanked him. At this time, a roll call came from the hall to announce his presence.

Waiter Li immediately collected his thoughts and expression, turned into a businesslike person, responded loudly, and led Qiu Yan into the hall.

As soon as he entered the palace and walked a few steps, Chamberlain Li walked quickly with small steps. Qiu Yan stopped, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the king!" When speaking, he bowed deeply, then stood up straight, Look ahead.

The outside of the palace is magnificent, but inside it is very empty. There are two steps in the innermost part, and a table is placed on the stage. The Lord Liang is sitting behind the table in a rich costume, with gold and jade around his waist and a rich figure.

Next to the stage, there was a low table, with a man kneeling behind it, looking elegant.

In this era, there is no concept of kneeling as respect, kneeling is just a posture.

"My dear, you don't have to be polite. Have you ever been threatened by a thief when you entered the tiger's den in person?" Lord Liang asked knowingly, and after being polite to Qiu Yan for a few words, he got to the point, "I don't know what the thief wants." ? Did the leader tell the purpose? If..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the man in the audience.

It is a big sin for a monarch to be interrupted when he is speaking, no matter where he is, but the leader of Liang Kingdom just kept silent and had no intention of pursuing him.

Then, the man stood up and walked towards Qiu Yan. As he walked, he said, "Now that Da Sinong has gone, his mood seems to have changed. He must have a plan. You might as well talk about it."

These words moved Qiu Yan's heart. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
