Dao Fruit

The place where Qiu Yan and others got off the car was close to Qingchang County. They walked and stopped, and soon hired another ox cart in a nearby village. After spending most of the day, they finally arrived in Qingchang County in the evening.

Inside and outside the city, beggars were everywhere, and their expressions were dull.

"The banditry in the south has a great impact. Most of these people have escaped from the villages in the south." Seeing this scene, Liu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that the government is not going to take care of these people." Qiu Yan felt that the county in front of him was emitting waves of chaotic thoughts. At the same time, the power of cause and effect on his body suddenly tightened, which made him feel a chill in his heart. Looking at the refugee beggars, he had a clear understanding.

After entering the city, Qiu Yan did not lead the Liu family to their home in the north of the city, but found an inn to stay.

When the work was done, it was dark. It was time for dinner. Qiu Yan explained to the Liu family: "Uncle, you have been busy all day, don't think too much. Have a good rest after dinner. I will accompany Brother Yan."

Liu Huai nodded and said: "Okay, the hero Yan spoke up for justice today and stood up again. You should thank him."

"Of course." After saying goodbye to Liu Huai's family, Qiu Yan took the big man surnamed Yan to a famous tavern in Qingchang.

"Your Shu wine has a unique flavor." He opened his mouth and drank a large bowl of wine. The big man surnamed Yan wiped his mouth.

Qiu Yan looked at him, raised his glass in response, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Seeing this, the big man surnamed Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not saying anything, brother Qiu, you should still use a bowl to drink. How can you use a cup?"

Qiu Yan smiled and said, "Qiu is not good at drinking, brother Yan, please don't force me."

The two of them met by chance and didn't know each other during the day, but there was a reason why they were sitting here drinking.

Xie Shan from the Pan Mansion led people to intercept him. The big man surnamed Yan stood up when he saw injustice, which was much better than the spectators around him. Afterwards, he was also impartial, which left a good impression on Qiu Yan.

Afterwards, the big man surnamed Yan was worried that the Pan Mansion would retaliate later, so he followed all the way. Even though Qiu Yanyan knew that the Pan Mansion was careful about its reputation and would not cause trouble again in the short term, the big man still did not leave, which made Qiu Yan admire the big man's kindness and wanted to make friends with him.

Coincidentally, the big man surnamed Yan was also interested in Qiu Yan's skills. After a few visits, the two of them communicated with each other and became friends.

Qiu Yan then realized that this man surnamed Yan was from Yanzhao, and was somewhat famous in the local martial arts world. He was known as "Big Knife Yan Er" and his real name was Yan Yongjie.

After eating a few mouthfuls of food and drinking a few sips of wine, Qiu Yan suddenly said: "Brother Yan, you said you came to Shu to seek immortality?"

"Yes," Yan Yongjie put down his cup and chopsticks, "I came all the way west, passing through Jingxiang, Qinlong, and finally entered Shu, just to seek immortal fate."

"Immortal fate?" Qiu Yan was surprised, "I wonder what kind of immortal fate Brother Yan is looking for?"

Yan Yongjie laughed, took a mouthful of food, swallowed it, and then said: "To be honest with you, brother, I don't know what this immortal fate looks like, but there is a reason. Yan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Ten years ago, he had practiced kung fu to the point of bone vibration."

Qiu Yan praised: "Oh? Brother Yan has practiced to the point of bone vibration? This is kung fu practiced into the bones, vibrating the periosteum can generate strength! Although I don't know much about martial arts, I know that I have to practice to the point of bone vibration. This level is not easy. "

Yan Yongjie was slightly surprised: "Looking at you, you are a scholar, but you have martial arts. Do you want to learn from the ancients, learn literature and practice martial arts, and be good at both literature and martial arts?"

Qiu Yan shook his head: "How can I call this martial arts practice? It's just a coincidence that I strengthened my body."

Yan Yongjie thought he didn't want to talk about it in detail, and didn't delve into it. He continued the previous topic: "No matter how good the kung fu is, I am still an ordinary person. Although I can shake my bones with my voice, I always feel that there is a realm above it. Therefore, I don't want to eat or drink, and I think hard, but I can't get it. Until one day, I accidentally saved a Taoist priest, but a few days later, the Taoist priest still didn't survive, but left a book, which made me know the greatness of the world. It turns out that practicing kung fu into the bones is just the foundation! "

"I wonder what's written in that book?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing serious, just a travelogue that records all kinds of things I've seen and heard in Da Rui and even in the Western Regions outside the Great Wall. It also talks about martial arts and some incredible martial arts moves."

As he said this, he took out a small cowhide bag from his arms, and after opening it, a wrinkled booklet was revealed.

Yan Yongjie carefully turned the last page of the book, and then looked at Qiu Yan with hope: "Little brother, you have extraordinary knowledge and good skills. I think you are not an ordinary person. I wonder if you have ever seen such a scene?"

After hearing this, Qiu Yan looked at the book intently, but what caught his eyes was a landscape painting.

The mountain spring gushed, curled and crossed, and the clouds and mist formed a curtain, falling from the sky. Between the mountain spring and the clouds, a pavilion loomed and floated in the air.

"What is this?" Qiu Yan frowned slightly, catching a sense of familiarity from the painting.

Strangely enough, the book is wrinkled, obviously it is quite old, but the painting is smooth and clean, without any signs of being worn out, and even the mountains and rivers on it are floating, giving people a lifelike feeling, as if the next moment, spring water and clouds will gush out of the painting and fill the surroundings.

"Why? Brother Qiu, do you recognize this place?"

"No, I don't recognize it, but I just think this painting is very strange and I am amazed by the exquisite painting skills."

Seeing Qiu Yan's expression change slightly, Yan Yongjie couldn't help but look happy. Then when he saw Qiu Yan shaking his head in denial, he couldn't help but sigh and smiled bitterly: "The beauty of this painting is not only these, but the most important thing is The place indicated in the painting.”

He closed the book and said: "Although this book is a travelogue, the things described in it are beyond imagination. After careful consideration, it coincides with the principles of heaven and earth. It also points out that after periosteal tremor, there is still a way to cultivate one's life. Unfortunately, There is no specific method, but there is some evidence. Yan just took it with him and searched everywhere to find out what the place in the painting was, but unfortunately he could not find it. "

"This thing is so valuable. Brother Yan, it's better to keep it. Sincerity leads to gold and stone. The gods of heaven and earth know and will not let your thoughts and will go to waste." Seeing the other party's wry smile, Qiu Yan comforted him. .

"Yan thought so too!" After hearing this, Yan Yongjie laughed, and all the bitterness disappeared from his face, "If nothing else, in the past few years, I have traveled across mountains and rivers and seen great rivers and mountains, which is already true. Even if I find him in the end, "

Qiu Yan saw it and nodded secretly.

"This man is open-minded and a person you can make friends with."

Qiu Yan was able to learn about the way of life because of the help of the city god. However, ordinary people travel all their lives, but few people can come into contact with the true meaning of life cultivation. Like Yan Yongjie in front of him, being able to know these things is considered fate. If you are lucky, you can embark on the path of true cultivation.

After listening to the other party's words, Qiu Yan roughly guessed the situation of ordinary martial arts practitioners. They should be limited to the first level of life cultivation. Without anyone to guide them, without the guidance of martial arts, and without opportunities, it would be difficult for them to step into it for the rest of their lives. Entering the second level of soul cultivation, you will not be able to condense the seven souls, and your lifespan will be limited. No matter how good your kung fu training is, you will only live more than ten years longer than ordinary people, but in the end it will be in vain.

"However, this Yan Yongjie's kung fu has been practiced to the point where he can make bones shake. He has mastered the muscles and bones of his whole body and reached the level of vibration. He is at the peak of the foundation building realm. With a little guidance and feeling the changes in the seven souls, he will have the opportunity to step on the ground. If we are on the true path of cultivating our lives, we are destined to meet each other. I might as well fulfill him. With this kind of human nature, I will definitely achieve something and there is no need to waste my life."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan's attention returned to the book in Yan Yongjie's hand.

"The picture on the last page of this book is very weird. The familiar atmosphere and artistic conception seem to be surrounded by people's wishes!"
