78. The Immortal Guiding the Way (Part 2)(1/2)
Liu Ruyi walked in her garden.
This garden is behind Liu's house and was built by Liu Ruyi the year he took over the family business.
The production is very elegant. Even if you don’t understand literature, you can tell that the garden is made by a master craftsman and is also the most famous garden place in Fengyang County.
In the past Spring and Autumn Period, Liu Ruyi would have invited the romantic and elegant scholars, officials and nobles from Fengyang County to hold poetry meetings and other things.
Don’t think that Master Liu is a wealthy businessman.
In fact, he also has a heart that is as turbulent as a literati.
This is also a rare place for the owner to have fun on weekdays. No matter what happens, as long as he walks in this elegant garden, his mood will quickly calm down.
Not only are there rare flowers that bloom all year round, but there are also some spiritual herbs and medicines found from the side. They look inconspicuous, but only those who know how to do know that this is also a symbol of the wealth of the Liu family.
Of course, the spiritual herbs that can be found with the power of mortals are not top-notch, and they are not considered very good in the eyes of monks.
It is just a "club-like" in another sense.
However, today, Master Liu was not in the mood to enjoy the flower scenery.
He walked quickly in the garden.
The wounds on the fingers were wrapped in white silk, and there were no servants in the garden. Since the day Liu Ruyi returned from Moshuang Mountain, all the gardeners in the garden have been on vacation.
But there are not no one in the garden.
After walking through a wooden corridor covered with vines and trees, the garden seemed to be at the end, but it was dark and brightly exposed a small courtyard.
The owner of the shop tidy up his clothes and then walked into the yard.
The sun will be very bright. In the afternoon, the warm light beam hits the sky, lands on the surrounding sycamore leaves, and then sprinkles mottled light on the ground, creating a quiet place.
A young man in a loose white robe was sitting cross-legged in the shaded ground, with his five hearts facing the sky, slightly closing his eyes, as if he was taking a nap, or like a monk meditation.
Across a distance, you can see an invisible wind swaying around the handsome young man, making his robe sway, and the black hair hanging from his head occasionally lifted up a few strands.
Except for the moon-white Taoist robe that looks a little luxurious, this man almost never has any decorations. He is very simple and has an ancient ring on his left finger.
It complements this quiet courtyard.
But as long as you still have eyes, you will not associate the word "poverty" with the young man in front of you.
Although he does not use jade, gold and silver to decorate it, he exudes a unique and elegant look on the whole.
It is a temperament that is almost invisible but real, just like the spring and white snow, the morning glow and evening red, it is hard to explain, but you can always feel a little alienated from the mortal world.
This represents his identity.
This is a monk.
A true monk.
However, when Liu Ruyi approached, she found something that was extremely inconsistent with the temperament of a handsome monk. Five immortal coins, like copper plates, were placed in five directions around the young monk.
It looks casual, but it is in line with the principles of the five elements.
There is also a refined spiritual energy like a clear stream, which is drawn from the immortal money very evenly. Under the promotion of this monk's martial arts, it turns into a strange phenomenon that matches the five elements.
Liu Ruyi could see the flames, water light, soil, green seedlings, sharp gold, and the vision of the five colors conversion. He knew that this was the spiritual energy that maintained the most basic balance.
He even knew that this vision was a phenomenon that would occur when the inner door technique of Moshuang Mountain was operated.
He knew these things that mortals should not know.
After all, the ancestors of his Liu family practiced the same technique more than 200 years ago.
His ancestors, who were from the same place as the young monk in front of him, even wore the same clothes, kept the same French style, and had the same identity.
It’s just that the ancestor is pitiful and not as lucky as the person in front of him.
Liu Ruyi did not disturb the young monk's cultivation.
He stood ten steps away without making a sound, waiting patiently, trying to soothe the deep envy and jealousy in his eyes.
Until half a stick of incense stick, the spiritual energy of the five immortal coins was exhausted, and the balance of the five elements was broken.
When the young monk opened his eyes, Liu Ruyi stretched out his hands appropriately and made an ancient ceremony to lean over.
"Senior Brother Chu."
He said:
"I figured out the opportunity given by my ancestors.
This Fang Fanchen is really boring. After my brother died, I no longer want to stay here. Tomorrow, I will go back to the mountain with Senior Brother Chu."
"Seeing through the world?"
The handsome and compelling Senior Brother Chu did not agree immediately.
On the contrary, his black and white eyes looked up and down Liu Ruyi several times before shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?
Junior Brother Ruyi, although I practice and enter the true state of existence, I cannot open my eyes to see you, but with just relying on these naked eyes, I can see that you are full of resentment.
What can I do if I enter the mountain even if I enter this state of mind?
Your qualifications are not considered high-quality.
Even if you have a lot of immortal money in your hand, you can get along with the relationship between your master and your master and buy you elixirs and utensils to improve your qualifications.
At most, you will reach the realm of realization of existence.
It will also take a lot of time, twenty years, or even thirty years. If you are not lucky, you are afraid that you will die in your practice before you break through."
Senior Brother Chu spoke very directly and did not give Liu Ruyi face.
Just say that he is not suitable for practicing.
But Liu Ruyi didn't say much.
He just maintained that bent over and waited until Senior Brother Chu finished speaking, and then he answered:
"Please take me back to the mountain with my senior brother."
"well."
Senior Brother Chu shook his head, stood up from the shade, carried his left hand on his back, and flicked his right hand in the air, making string sounds, very crisp, like an invisible musical instrument.
After a few breaths, he said:
"Your heart is still in the world. I guess, you lost by playing tricks with people in this mortal world?"
"Um."
Liu Ruyi said frankly:
“I lost.
I lost a lot, I bet the wrong treasure, and was plagued by accident, and now I have lost completely. Since my destiny is not with me, what can I do about it?"
"No way?"
Senior Brother Chu is now intriguing.
He walked a few steps in the shade, looked into the sky, and said:
"I think your foundation in Ruyifang is still there, and there are no backbone injuries. It's just a private defeat. But with your family's power in the three counties and twelve prefectures of Fengming Kingdom, you will make your last move.
Not hopeless.
Besides, with such a big family business and a wealthy fortune, even if I am a practitioner, I will be shocked. I will let go if I say it?”
"Haha, Senior Brother Chu is an outsider, so he naturally doesn't understand the principles of the mortal world."
Liu Ruyi was not confused.
He patiently explained to the young monk in front of him:
"The Liu family's major is huge, involving all aspects of mortal life, but those prosperity are just appearances and can be replaced by other businessmen.
The core industry of my Liu family is to trade spirit stones with monks, and to rely on the tiger skin of the cultivation world to stand firm in the mortal world and intimidate others with the body of a merchant.
But now, my Liu family's secret technique has been broken.
A group of people in Fengshan were able to open a spirit mine. Once the monopoly was broken, the Liu family's decline would be in front of him. It was like a dam blocking a flood. With the first crack, the dam could not be taken.
A century of prosperity has become deeply resentful.
Those dog thieves who used to hate me but dare not stretch their claws can now take the courage to pounce on me and bite me.
Plus.
For the prosperity of my family business, I took the risk of doing the most unstoppable business in the world, annoyed the most powerful people in Fengming Kingdom.
Now that things are getting together, it is because my Liu family is not lucky and has cut off my own way of retreat.
This is no longer a question of whether I want to let go.”
Liu Ruyi smiled bitterly and straightened her body.
